Alleged threat puts city staff on ‘high alert’ PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Extraordinary measures are in place to protect a longtime city employee after she received an alleged death threat. For several months now, recreation program co-ordinator Linda Nagle has altered her daily habits, drives different rental cars, upgraded her home security, and security guards were hired for her workplace on the advice of the RCMP and senior city staff. “On Sunday, November 18, (RCMP) showed up to say a threat had been made against my life…I was stunned,” Nagle testified in Campbell River provincial court. Peter Vandermeer, 56, a man previously banned from the Sportsplex due to his unwanted affections for another woman, has been ordered to stay away from Nagle and some city-owned Continued on A4

Hospice Society in search of a new home “ T KRISTEN DOUGLAS
CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
he Campbell River Hospice Society is looking to take one giant leap forward after being told it must vacate its current office. “For the past 27 years, Hospice has been leasing office space but has had a long desired dream of owning our own home – a place where we could continue to grow and increase our much-needed programs for our community,” said Julie Collis, director of operations for the Hospice Society. A lack of funding has made it difficult to turn that dream into reality but recently the Campbell River and District Association for Community Living gave Hospice the push it needs. The Association for Community Living, which owns the building space the Hospice is currently leasing next to the curling club, needs its space back and has given the society until October 31, 2013 to find a new home. The Hospice Society, which provides end-
palliative (those who are nearing end of life), so they can support each other and it would give their care givers a break as well. It’s a program that fits nicely with what we are already providing and we feel is very necessary.” The Hospice would also like to have the space to work collaboratively with local physicians, social workers, nurses, and care workers who are all a part of the city’s palliative care team. Wharton noted that having more space would also provide for more volunteer opportunities with Hospice.

Court: Crown applies to increase man’s restrictions Continued from A1 buildings. The Campbell River resident was originally charged with two counts of uttering threats and spent almost two months in custody after his arrest last November. H o w e v e r, b o t h charges were stayed by the Crown on Jan. 15, when he agreed to have no contact with Nagle, her family, and to stay 100 metres away from the Sportsplex where Nagle primarily works. Vandermeer is no longer facing any criminal charges, but was back in court Wednesday when the Crown applied to increase his restrictions. “I think this whole thing is a misunderstanding‌I have not violated any conditions,â€? Vander meer told the judge, testifying on his own behalf. However, another veteran city staffer testified that Vandermeer’s behaviour is

troubling. “Staff are very concerned,� said Michelle Sirett, the city’s recreation supervisor. “They’re well aware he threatened Linda.� It was about five years ago when Vandermeer first came to the attention of Sportsplex staff. He was attending a fitness class and had fixated his attention on
ta woman who had no interest in him. Vander meer testified he would attend the class to watch her. He gave her gifts and would drive past her place of work. “I wasn’t following her, I just wanted to see her car,â€? he said. “I didn’t want her to be scared of me‌I still think about her a lot.â€?
FIRST AID TRAINING
However, Vandermeer realized he was “driving her crazy� when he had to enter into a peace bond to stay away from her. He was also banned from Sportsplex. The alleged threat against Nagle was reported to authorities by Vandermeer’s psychologist. Police then told Nagle of the alleged threat and advised her to increase her personal security. Changes were made to Nagle’s property, the city hired different rental cars so she could not be easily identified, she drove a different route to work every day, the city altered her work schedule to be at different places, and security was hired for the Sportsplex. They’re all changes which unsettle her. “The trouble is, I don’t know why Mr. Vandermeer wants to kill me. He wanted to grab me and smash my head against the
ground, apparently,� she told the court. The incident that brought Vandermeer back to court occurred Jan. 29. Nagle was driving to work at the Sportsplex when she spotted him standing on the sidewalk across the street from the entrance to Willow Point Park. Another staffer then watched from a vehicle as Vandermeer stood and stared in the direction of the sports complex. He later testified he was just, “standing there having a little moment of memories.� Nonetheless, Vandermeer thought the woman watching him from the car was Sirett and so he began walking from the Sportsplex to the downtown Community Centre where she works in order to “confirm it was her,� he said. Video camera surveillance showed Vandermeer walking

through the parking lot and peering into the windows of the community hall. He then entered the centre, apparently to get a bus schedule, where he was recognized by staff. Sirett was alerted and confronted Vandermeer who left the building and boarded a city bus. Vandermeer was self-represented at Wednesday’s hearing and questioned Sirett on how staff were able to recognize him. “They were on high alert,� she replied. Vandermeer was later questioned by Crown prosecutor Bruce Goddard who wondered why he thought Sirett was watching him and why he needed to confirm it was her? “We don’t see eye to eye,� Vandermeer said of Sirett, and added he was concerned about what she would say after seeing him near the Sportsplex. His behaviour led to the application to fur-
ther limit his freedom in the community. Goddard asked that Vandermeer be prevented from entering Willow Point Park, Centennial Park and Outdoor Pool, the Community Centre and surrounding parking lot, the public works department on Dogwood Street, and city hall – all places where Nagle works. Vandermeer opposed the new restrictions and said there was no reason for them. However, he also told the judge he never goes to Centennial Park or public works, and that the city had already banned him from the Sportsplex and the Community Centre. The judge supported the Crown’s application, but said it would be inappropriate to ban him from city hall. Vandermeer is allowed to use the sidewalks that go past the offlimits locations as well as the bus stops by the Community Hall.

Festival: Cultural mosaic Continued from A1 Poet laureate Fred Wah, along with seven other authors, will read from one of his poems and afterwards the audience will have the chance to discuss with the author and ask questions. “Every year we try to bring a cultural mosaic that’s representative of the West Coast and these people are all quite wellknown.” This year’s selection of writers includes the poet laureate of Victoria – Janet Marie Rogers. Rogers, a powerful woman of First Nations descent, has been credited with increasing literacy and bringing words to the masses. Charlotte Gill, Campbell River’s writer in residence at Haig Brown House, will also do a reading at the festival. Rounding out the roster of writers is: Rawi Hage, Matthew Hooton, JJ Lee, Anakana Schofield, and Madeleine Thien. McMonagle said the group of authors is just a sample of the great writers that have emerged on our coast.
“We’re actually really fortunate to have a fantastic explosion of writing on the coast,” McMonagle said. “We’re enjoying the benefit of the huge surge of writing and the writing world reflects the real world around it.” Which is exactly what Words on the Water celebrates and why McMonagle, along with husband Trevor, and a group of volunteers first established the festival. “The goal is to present festivals of excellence and written arts,” McMonagle said. “The spin off effect in the community is to raise the community to a higher lever of literacy, which it has done in the 13 years we’ve been doing this. A new publishing company and writing groups have developed and many people in Campbell River have published books. It’s not just due to Words on the Water but it’s a spin off and we’re delighted to see that.” McMonagle is also pleased with the dedication of the volunteers and members of
the festival committee, many of whom stay involved with the festival long after they’ve left town. One of those people is Colin Gableman, former NDP MLA and attorneygeneral, who five years ago was on the festival committee for two years. He and his wife will be in attendance this weekend. The festival, which takes place Friday night and all day Saturday, includes free coffee, snacks from Comfort Zone, and a lunch on Saturday which will be catered by the Dolphin’s Resort. Each writers session on Saturday will feature two author readings from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. A cabaret will wrap up the festival on Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. Though the Friday night “Writers in Conversation” event is already sold out, tickets are still available for Saturday and are available at the door for $20 for each session. The festival takes place at the Maritime Heritage Centre. For more information, visit www.wordsonthewater.ca

Head Injury Society eyes empty lot next door for expansion KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Just one year after the Campbell River Head Injury Support Society moved into its new Hillcrest home, the society is already looking to expand. Hillcrest House, which provides temporary shelter and support for people with brain injuries, is already at capacity. Shelley Howard, executive director of the society, told council last week that she would like to build a second building next door to Hillcrest House which occupies the corner at Dogwood and 9th Avenue. “The lot next door is available. The owner approached us and is very supportive of what we’re doing,” Howard said. “We want to take next door and be able to put an apartment on it. We’re looking for up to 24 apartments.” Howard said since the doors of Hillcrest House opened, the society has been learning as it goes. She said she quickly realized there is a need to house not only individuals but families.
Howard told of two clients – a mom and her adult son – who both had brain injuries, caught pneumonia and needed a place to stay. She said the society housed them until they were strong enough to move on. That example is just a snapshot of Hillcrest House’s success rate. The home, which downstairs includes a reception area filled with computers, a large meeting room, a couple of offices, and a kitchen, gives clients the support they need to get back on their feet. With four, 350 square foot suites upstairs, space is limited and there is already a waiting list for room and board. “We’ve had nine residents since we opened,” Howard said. “We really didn’t think we’d have that many but we’ve had quite a high success rate and that’s encouraging.” Howard said of the four suites, three have catered to patients who have come and gone while the fourth has been occupied for some time. The patients who live in the suites pay an income-based rent and have access to a
24-hour care worker. The society receives a limited budget from the Vancouver Island Health Authority and receives most of its funding through community fundraising and grants. Howard said the more the Head Injury Support Society can take on, the less of a drain there is on the health care system. “Over the past year we have received numerous calls from the hospital about patients who are brain injured and living in the hospital because there are no other safe affordable options to release them to,” Howard said. “In some cases the costs are upwards of $1,000 or more per day plus they are taking up valuable surgery or medical bed space. If we can offer them safe and affordable housing, that lessens the impact on the community and the health care system.” The community is invited to stop by Hillcrest House anytime Monday to Thursday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. to meet the clients and see the work the society has done on the house.

Angler’s body found An overdue angler was found dead Tuesday morning on the beach at Lower Campbell Lake. The 68-year-old said he was going fishing at Fry Lake, located west of Campbell River, and was reported overdue late Monday night. Campbell River Search and Rescue was called out to search the area which proved difficult due to darkness and other water hazards such as deadheads and partially submerged trees. Around 8:30 a.m. the next day, the man’s boat was spotted on Lower Campbell Lake and the deceased was found nearby. The man’s name was not released and cause of death is being investigated by the coroner’s service. The search was the third call for search and rescue volunteers within 48 hours. In the early morning hours Sunday, team members travelled to Port Alice to look for two brothers, men in their 60s, who had gone beachcombing in a remote location and had not returned. Turns out that one of the two had fallen and they spent the night camping on the beach. The two were airlifted to safety by a military rescue helicopter later that morning. Later on Monday, the volunteers were out again assisting Comox Valley Search and Rescue look for a missing person, and that night they were called to Fry Lake. “We find our resources getting stretched thin after a few days‌people get burned out and need rest,â€? said search manager Grant Cromer in a news release. “We are constantly having to cycle new members in from our group as well as mutual aid from other island search and rescue groups.â€?
Four cases of tuberculosis no reason for panic says health officer PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Four city residents are receiving treatment for tuberculosis (TB), according the North Island’s medical health officer. “Tuberculosis is very difficult to diagnose,� said Dr. Charmaine Enns. “All four (people) are in treatment and are not infectious.� One of the men infected contacted the Campbell River Mirror on Tuesday and advised there’s sign posted at the Salvation Army soup kitchen, advising visitors to get checked for the disease. “I already have a disability and now I have f---ing tuberculosis,� said the man who

asked to remain anonymous. Dr. Enns acknowledged there’s a public stigma regarding people who with active cases of TB. She saw it for herself during a 2006 outbreak in Port Alberni. “People were really treated badly,� she says. It’s also important, she adds, to not cause “a lot of unnecessary angst.� Approximately one-third of the entire human population carries the TB bacteria – it’s just not active and
will likely remain dormant for a lifetime. However, someone with an active case can spread the virus to others with whom they are very close to. People who with poor immune systems, are homeless, have substance abuse issues or who share needles are especially at risk, according to information posted on the Canadian Lung Association website. The key, said Dr. Enns, is to get tested and to get treatment which can cure TB and prevent it from ever becoming infectious. The difficulty, especially from a health care providers’ standpoint, is finding out who’s spreading TB. For those who are infected and receiving treatment, public health nurses investigate their innermost circle of family or friends, the most likely source of the TB infection.

Then they start looking at the “outer circles� where someone who’s contracted the virus interacts with others. The downtown soup kitchen on Cedar Street is one of those outer circle places, said Enns, and pubic health nurses have visited and urged the visitors to get tested. If you think you might need a test, visit your doctor or a walkin clinic. Enns said the last reported TB case in Campbell River came in about two months ago. What is TB? According to the Canadian Lung Association, here are the facts on TB: ■TB is a serious disease caused by a germ, a bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. ■TB usually infects the lungs. TB can also infect other parts of
the body, including the kidneys, spine and brain. ■The main TB symptoms are a bad cough, fever, losing weight, and feeling weak. ■TB is contagious. People who are sick with active TB disease spread TB germs through the air. It’s important for people with TB to get treatment right away. TB treatments can cure TB and prevent it from spreading to others. ■Most people catch TB from someone at their home or work who has active TB disease. People with active TB disease spread TB germs in the air by coughing, laughing, sneezing, singing, playing a wind instrument or talking. ■TB germs do not spread by shaking hands, sharing food, drinks, or dishes, touching bed linens or toilet seats, sharing toothbrushes or kissing.

Cadets ready for rain Campbell River’s Air Cadets will be a little drier these days thanks to a $1,500 donation from the Daybreak Rotary Club to buy raingear. “On behalf of the Campbell River Air Youth Association, I would like to thank Campbell River Daybreak Rotary very much for your generous donation of $1500 for the purchase of raingear,” said Nancy Tsangaris of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets. “Our squadron has braved many survival weekends in weather that has been less than ideal. The quality raingear purchased with your donation will go a long way in keeping them dry, comfortable and their parents happy!” Air Cadets is a national program for young Canadians aged 12 to 18 who are interested in participating in a variety of challenging and rewarding activities and learning more about the Canadian Armed Forces. Campbell River Air Cadets take part in volunteer activities in the community. Daybreak Rotary’s Don Huestis said, “We at Campbell River Daybreak Rotary are proud to be able to support this organization.”

st i t n e D 3X5 e h t k s A Question: Why is fluoride so important?
Answer: Fluoride has long been a topic of
debate and although fluoride use has its critics, the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention consider the introduction of fluoride to improve oral health one of the top 10 great public health achievements of the 20th century. Dr. Kevin Lathangue Fluoride has a very unique property in that it can replace Calcium in our enamel. So when our teeth are exposed to acid (which is how decay starts) the acid leaches (pulls) calcium out of our enamel thereby weakening our teeth. Fluoride, when available, replaces the calcium in our enamel and makes our teeth more resistant to acid. So, in essence, fluoride makes our teeth stronger because acid from bacteria won’t be as effective at decaying our teeth. It’s still very important to brush and floss because, even with fluoride replacing our calcium, our teeth are still susceptible to decay. So 2-3 minutes twice a day for brushing and flossing every day is still the Canadian Dental Association recommendation.

Our View
Another mishandled plan Wooing the ethnic vote is nothing new in the political world – especially in the scrappy mudwrestling that defines election campaigns and often politics in general in B.C. Over the past few decades, ethnic We say: Liberals communities – particularly South learned little from Asian – have wielded increasing political power, both in terms of the last internal individual voting, and fielding their own representatives. pratfall Winning favour in these communities can secure a mainstream candidate’s seat, or significantly bolster a party’s fortunes.
And so it’s little surprise the beleaguered B.C. Liberals looked to the ethnic vote as partial salvation from the political quagmire in which they find themselves. Except, in what has become virtually predictable Liberal fashion, the initiative was fumbled. What was conceived as an ethnic outreach effort turned into another embarrassment, with distasteful references to “quick wins” via government apologies to ethnic communities for historical wrongs. Apparently, it never occurred to the Liberal strategists involved that they were playing catch with a live hand grenade should the NDP – and thus
the media, and thus the public – were ever to hear about this ill-considered plan. Of course, that’s what happened, and Premier Christy Clark had to do some apologizing of her own. It seems the Liberals learned little from the last internal pratfall, when it was discovered they were breaking the rules by using taxpayer-funded computers and facilities to launch anti-NDP websites. Premier Christy Clark must be growing weary of having to say sorry for the mistakes of her team. It may well be that she won’t have to for much longer. – Black Press

Boycott gas outlets I travel regularly between the South Island, Victoria, and the North Island Port Hardy. I cannot believe the variation in fuel prices. Victoria area one day recently was $1.16/litre (five cents less at Safeway), Nanaimo area $1.25/litre and Campbell River $1.34/litre. Now on the small volume of the litre it doesn’t sound like much but if you can recall driving for several blocks to get fuel 2-4 cents a gallon cheaper, one has to wonder why it doesn’t register with the litre. Based on the gallon volume, the difference between Victoria and Campbell River was a whopping 82 cents a gallon. Now it certainly doesn’t cost 82 cents a gallon to transport fuel from the South Island to Port Hardy does it? Campbell River residents can get their fuel at Safeway in Courtenay for $1.20/ltr. that is 59 cents per gallon cheaper. Do yourselves a favour and boycott Campbell River fuel outlets until they begin to compete.

Liberals’ ethnic strategy is nothing new
Tom Fletcher B.C. Views
The B.C. legislature session ends this week. It can’t come quickly enough for Premier Christy Clark and the B.C. Liberals. This is also the week we see the rest of the fallout from “ethnic-gate,” as the latest controversy over partisan activity by political staff has been clumsily labelled. A disgruntled former B.C. Liberal caucus staffer handed the NDP opposition an internal memo setting out a strategy for ethnic “outreach” that strayed into forbidden territory, suggesting that ethnic-friendly government events could be staged and participants’ names collected and turned over to the party. “This secret plan clearly demon-
strates the Liberals are deliberately folding government resources and staff into their party’s campaign machinery, despite rules that forbid this,” thundered NDP house leader John Horgan. “We’ve seen this before, with the Liberals’ efforts to run a secret committee to subvert the public process around Burnaby Hospital, and in the attack website created by caucus staff and launched by the Liberal party.” Casual observers might see this as a disturbing new development in misuse of public resources. It’s disturbing, all right, but it’s hardly new. The “attack website” Horgan refers to is a case in point. While a website targeting NDP leader Adrian Dix was
being cooked up in the B.C. Liberal bunker, a similar effort was being developed in NDP research down the hall. This partisan message detailed all the worthwhile things that could be done with the government’s $15 million advertising budget singing the praises of the government’s “jobs plan.” But this one carried the logo of the NDP caucus, so it was within the rules. The average person, seeing two groups of staff on the public payroll, each slagging the other, might not detect much of a difference. The biggest headline from the leaked memo was its reference to generating “quick wins” for the election campaign by staging apologies
for historic racial injustices. It mentioned how former premier Gordon Campbell delivered a solemn apology in 2008 for the decision to turn away a ship carrying Sikh refugees from Vancouver harbour – shortly after the outbreak of the First World War. What does a modern provincial premier accomplish by apologizing for a federal immigration decision made in 1915? Why would another premier now feel the need to apologize for a federal “head tax” imposed on Chinese immigrants from 1885 to 1923? The answer is obvious. Again, don’t expect much to change with an NDP government. Asked last week if he would stage an apology for Continued on A9 the

More radio frequency smog. How many people saw the small “Notice of intention to build a wireless communication facility” in Wednesday’s papers? How many people will not provide their comments because they are required to be in writing? Willow Point Park, a place for recreation closely surrounded by residences is going to have a cell tower? And last, I question how any comments submitted to a company acting “for Telus” will be evaluated and disclosed.
I tried to find information for Medallion Land Services on the Internet but could not get anything for the name, nor the phone number, nor the address.

This is always a contentious issue as dog owners want to let their dogs run and get off leash exercise and yet other citizens do not want to feel afraid of those dogs nor do they want to have to walk around the dogs feces. As a dog owner I can see both sides. We lived in Port Moody for many years. There is a wonderful park called Mundy Park not unlike Beaver Lodge Lands. It is used by many people for many purposes. Sunrise to 10 a.m. every day are off-leash hours. This gives dog owners a chance to let their dogs run free and people who prefer not to encounter unleashed dogs a chance to walk after 10 a.m. Perhaps this could be one solution for this difficult problem.

Fletcher: Welcome to politics in a globalized media culture Continued from A8 head tax, Dix delivered a well-rehearsed history lesson that made it clear he is anxious to do so. Welcome to politics in an urbanized, globalized media culture. It’s more important to put on a show than to do the right thing. Hos-
pitals are announced three times before they’re built, then announced again when they are staffed. Politics is a lucrative career. Former B.C. Liberal MLA Lorne Mayencourt is one of the additional “outreach” staff handpicked by Clark. The
B.C. Liberals retort that the NDP caucus has a similar staffer named Gabriel Yiu, who has taken three leaves of absence to run for MLA, and is in practical terms a professional NDP candidate. Yiu is running for a fourth time in Van-
couver-F raserview, having been defeated in 2009 by former West Va n c o u ve r p o l i c e chief Kash Heed. That campaign was notorious for anonymous Chinese-language pamphlets claiming the NDP favours legalizing drugs and imposing a “death tax” on
inheritance. This latest scandal might produce meaningful refor m. But the misuse of public money to further the interests of political parties is deeply entrenched. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

Drive Smart BC The Forgotten Stop Emerging From Alleys 2X14 and Driveways How often have you seen a driver exit an alley, parking lot or parkade and either zoom right across the sidewalk or make a first stop directly over top of it? This can make life difficult for pedestrians who may happenTYEE to be in the way. It shows CHEV that the driver is not thinking ahead as the sidewalk is there to be seen and the potential conflict with pedestrians recognized. When you are driving in a business or residence district and emerging from an alley, driveway, building or private road you must stop your vehicle before driving onto the sidewalk or sidewalk area. Once stopped you must yield to pedestrians present and allow them to pass safely in front of you before continuing. Having yielded, you may proceed when traffic on the highway permits. A business or residence district is defined in the Motor Vehicle Act. A residence district is a portion of the highway 100 meters long with 50 meters of residence frontage on one or both sides of it. A business district is similarly defined, but the specified lengths are 200 and 100 meters respectively. If you are not driving in a business or residence district, you must exercise caution and yield to any traffic when you are about to enter or cross the highway from an alley, driveway, building or private road. In this case, pedestrians, cyclists, ridden and herded animals or other conveyances are considered to be traffic.

On several occasions I’ve walked by the school on Eardley and seen large piles of black dog hair just outside the chainlink fence adjacent
to the playground swings! I thought you would be embarrassed the Sunday I caught you in the act of brushing your dog and tossing the piles of hair on the grass. Apparently not, because the following day, and again this past Sunday, you’ve left the evidence of your inconsiderate actions. Any responsible dog owner would never leave home without a plastic bag. Why aren’t you using one to clean up this mess and take it with you? Why leave it so close to where children play – some of whom may have allergies? It’s apparent you don’t want this mess in your own yard – or even in your own garbage! Just another lazy, negligent owner who thinks the rest of us enjoy “gifts” from your dogs. Time to give your head a shake, girl. Darlyne Shane HEROES – Campbell River is a wonderful community filled with people who are always there to support an important cause. On International Women’s
Day, the Tidemark Theatre was filled with people supporting our C.R. Women’s Centre. A hilarious and sobering Vagina Monologues was presented by a local cast and crew to raise funds for an often forgotten or minimized service that is provided by our Women’s Centre. It was a wonderful evening. Congratulations to Margaret Keane who directed the VM and to the brilliant cast and crew who put themselves out there to tell stories usually kept secret. We laughed and cried and loved every minute of it. Thank you. – Lia Grundle HEROES – On Feb. 25, while visiting family in beautiful Campbell River, my husband became ill and required emergency surgery at Campbell River Hospital.

Although busy with the Food Bank, she again devoted her time and expertise to making our event run smoothly, and it was beautifully orchestrated from start to finish. Our volunteers spent many hours organizing the books during the week, and were even there to help out on the days of the sale. And a special thanks to trustees Norm Fair and Bruce Izard for both picking up books
and helping with their distribution after the sale. We also wish to thank the community who supported our fundraiser by donating so many wonderful books before the sale, and buying books the days of the sale. This fundraiser enables us to continue providing quality school and public programming, while keeping the costs low. – Catherine Gilbert, Museum at Campbell River HEROES – The Campbell River Storm players who showed up to the rink on Monday the 18th. When they showed up at 6 a.m. and found out they had no ice, instead of going back home, they put on their gear and came out on the ice with all of our girls. You made their day and made getting out of bed so early in the morning, a cheery experience. – Deanna Kowalko CR Hurricanes HEROES – Each and every one of you. You know who you are. We did it. We made over $3,000 for the Heart and Stroke. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Have a good summer. Take care and God Bless.
Homeowners should be aware of laws regarding eagle nests In response to Diedre’s concerns raised over property owners’ rights (March 8, Campbell River Mirror), I agree that a person should be in position of all of the facts before making judgement. In this case I also believe that a property owner should be aware of what the local
laws are and how they pertain to their property. I would point Diedre to the interactive map provided by the City of Campbell River (at www.campbellriver.ca look under City Hall for City Interactive Mapping). In this site a property owner can zoom in on the area they
live, and by clicking on “Bald Eagle DP Area” in the baselayer category they can easily see where the nest sites are, and many other features (e.g. streams) that could restrict development. Another link is also provided for the Official Community Plan (OCP), where on page 205 the Eagle

What makes a great school?
Eagles: Get to know the rules around eagles Continued from A1 The OCP link contains information on the development permit areas around the identified features; all of these features were open for viewing and comment during the public outreach events associated with the creation of the OCP. The city encourages residents to contact the City’s Land Use Department with any questions about the mapping or interpretation of the guidelines. Prior to tree removal (or any other land disturbance) it is important for a property owner to have some knowledge of their property including environmental features. Property owners can check with the city to see what rules might apply to their land. Development Permits aren’t just for the benefit of the City, they are also in place to limit a property owner’s lia-

bility. If there is a reason to suspect that there are environmental features associated with the property, and help is required to determine if these features exist, there are a number of qualified environmental professionals in town and in nearby communities that can hired to complete an assessment or provide advice. Bald Eagle nest trees, whether or not they are registered or mapped, are protected under the provincial Wildlife Act. Only the province can give permission to remove a Bald Eagle nest tree. If the tree poses a hazard (as assessed by a certified Wildlife Danger Tree Assessor) the owner must contact the provincial government for a permit through the Permit and Authorization Service Bureau 1-866-433-7272. Information about
development around Eagle Nests can be found on a Ministry of Environment web link at:http://www.env.gov. bc.ca/wld/documents/ bmp/devwithcare2012/ Fact-Sheet-10-eaglesosprey.pdf If you witness a Bald Eagle nest tree being cut down, phone the provincial Report All Poachers & Polluters (RAPP line): 1-877-9527277. This is a 24-hr call service that routes incidents to the Conservation Officer Service for potential follow up and investigation. Some facts about Bald Eagles: â– Bald eagles are large (our largest bird of prey) weighing up to 15 kg and are the only true eagle on our coast (the golden eagle is actually a hawk); because Bald Eagles are large, they tend to have rather large nests (up to 3m in diameter). â– Even with the large nest size, it can some-
A11
times be surprisingly difficult to see, from the ground, especially in a closed canopy forest. ■What is usually unmistakable during nesting periods (late January to early September) is the level of activity (it’s noisy), and the level of sign below the nest (it can be messy). ■The vast majority of Bald Eagle nests are within 500m of water (their primary food source). The further an Eagle nest is from water the lower the fertility. In other words we (the species with the large forebrain) need to ensure there is an adequate supply of suitable nest trees along our coast, rivers and lakes in order to sustain their population.

DON MCRAE MINISTER OF EDUCATION
E
very year, the Fraser Institute’s ranking of schools prompts discussion and debate about what makes a great school. The rankings are based largely on the results of the provincewide Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA) that examines the literacy and numeracy skills of all B.C. students in grades 4 and 7. The FSA does provide some valuable information for principals, for parents and for districts to make some educational choices. However, as the Minister of Education, a teacher and a dad, I want your readers to know that the measure of a great school is not just based on one test. Great schools have a real and tangible school culture with excellent teachers and robust teacher support, active family engagement, supportive environmental conditions, strong social and emotional student growth, and a school-wide climate of high expectations. They also foster a broad set of student skills, in addition to producing high test scores. A great school promotes not just academics, but also sports, arts, theatre and other activities. They build confidence and inspire
our children to learn. Throughout British Columbia, school districts and teachers are working hard to create vibrant learning environments that support the learning experience of all students. In some districts that could mean more First Nations material. In other districts, courses with an urban focus and in others, it could mean wilderness training, science, or high tech courses. Finally, other school districts might focus more on skills and trades training. The lesson here is that great schools are flexible enough to respond to student and teacher needs. Parents who want to make better, more informed decisions about where to send their children to school need to visit schools in their district to find out first-hand what kind of athletic programs or artistic programs the school offers. Parents need to meet the teachers, the principal, the teacher aides in a variety of schools. Anyone who takes the time to do this will quickly learn two valuable things: that there are a lot of factors that go into making a great school and it is not difficult to find great schools in the province of British Columbia.

Director incensed by city’s 100 per cent water rate hike KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The city is unfairly raising water rates in Area D by 100 per cent without any explanation for the charges, says Area D director Brenda Leigh. Leigh said at Wednesday’s Strathcona Regional District board meeting that the city is imposing taxation without representation upon Area D residents who live just south of the city limits. “Area D is currently subject to an unfair system where our taxpayers are not represented on any water committee, we are not told what we are being asked to pay for, except that the proposed increases are city policy,” Leigh said in a report to the board. “This is taxation without representation..this is the antithesis of democracy. This is unfair.” The City of Campbell River currently charges water rates of $0.40 per cubic metre but may increase the
rate to $0.80 pending the results of negotiations between the Strathcona Regional District and the City of Campbell River. Water rates have been in dispute between the two parties for the past 18 months and talks are expected to continue for the next few months. Campbell River city councillors who sit on the regional district board as directors said Wednesday it would be prudent for the regional district to allocate $270,000 in the 2013 budget in order to pay the figure that is eventually settled on. “It’s irresponsible for this board to not have money in this budget to pay this bill, anything else is just... pardon the pun, muddying the waters,” Director Ron Kerr said. But Leigh did not want to add the extra $270,000 and instead keep water rates for Area D at 2012 levels. “I feel it’s irresponsible for Campbell River to increase our
rates 100 per cent and not give our CAO (Chief Administrative Officer), our board, or myself any reason for the increase,” Leigh said. “If this is allowed, then what’s to stop them from raising rates 100 per cent next year and the next. Where does it stop? Campbell River needs to start playing fair ball because Area D residents are not impressed with what’s going on.” Director Claire Mo glove said the rate increase cannot “possibly be taxation without representation” as the rate hike is part of the existing contract. “This is a contract negotiation based on rates,” Moglove said. “It was the Strathcona Regional District that came to the City of Campbell River and said we would like the old contract terms
budget that’s short at the end of the year, then follow the current arrangement.” Brian Reardon, chief administrative officer, of the Strathcona Re gional District, warned directors that not putting the money in the budget could result in the regional district passing a budget with a deficit, which is forbidden by the province. That would likely cause the 2012 budget to take effect and the province would be forced to intervene. Reardon said the
and conditions to continue. That contract said user rate fees (of $0.80 per cubic metre) will be charged.” Mayor Walter Jakeway, also a director on the regional board, said no one is trying “to stick it” to Area D and that water rates are higher outside the city limits because electoral areas don’t p ay D eve l o p m e n t Cost Charges on their properties like property owners within the city do. Jakeway said there was no point in arguing the fees because in the end, the city is providing a service and will get its money in return. “If Campbell River sends an invoice to Area D at $0.80 per cubic metre, Campbell River gets its money regardless,” Jakeway said. “It may not seem fair but the big dog gets its money. If you want to have a
bottom line is “the bills have to be paid.” Municipal directors agreed and voted to keep the $270,000 in the budget for Area D water. Directors Leigh, Gerald Whalley, and Jude Schooner were opposed. Whalley said he did not like “big dog politics” and thought increasing water rates in Area D “by 100 per cent arbitrarily was unfair to users.” Leigh, who wanted the vote recorded, said she also wanted “Area D’s strong
objection to Campbell River’s interference” recorded, before the board declared a point of order and cut Leigh off. Directors also voted to increase the requisition in Area D by $270,000 which will split the increase between taxation and user fees. Leigh said her reasoning in doing so was so residents won’t see as big an increase in their utility bills, which residents must pay on time, whereas taxes can be deferred if necessary.

Mayor comes up with surprise notion to buy arena KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Mayor Walter Jakeway dropped a bombshell on the Strathcona Regional District board Wednesday morning. Jakeway, who sits as a director on the board, surprised everyone with a motion to possibly sell Strathcona Gardens. “I would like to move that the Strathcona Regional District
approach the City of Campbell River to look into the feasibility of the cost and implications of selling Strathcona Gardens to the City of Campbell River,” Jakeway said. Director Mary Storry, caught off guard by the motion, asked if the issue could be dealt with at the next board meeting so there could be more discussion and information to work with.
“Is there an option of notice of motion?” Storry asked. “This is a very serious motion.” Jakeway agreed that the motion could be formally made at the next board meeting, which is scheduled for March 28. Strathcona Gardens is maintained, operated and governed by the regional district although it lies within the city boundaries. After hearing lengthy
discussions around creating a new human resources position at Strathcona Gardens, Jakeway said he believes the recreation complex would be better suited under the City of Campbell River’s governance. “Just listening to all of the agony in going through the financial plan, with the Strathcona Regional District trying to deal with human resources, it’s
Council likes eagle tree penalties KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Council endorsed tough penalties for anyone who cuts down an eagle tree at last week’s council meeting. Mayor Walter Jakeway put forward a motion directing city staff to report back to council on options for a bylaw that will include fines for any property owner who illegally chops down a tree harbouring an eagle’s nest. Jakeway was prompted by an incident that happened last winter.
“It was more than a year ago that a fairly substantial eagle tree was cut down near Rockland Road,” Jakeway said. “At that time it was discovered that we didn’t have any teeth to our bylaw and I haven’t heard any feedback from staff in the past year on this and I don’t want it to slip away.” The mayor said the Mountainaire Avian Re s c u e S o c i e t y ’s (MARS) annual Eagle Fest, held three weekends ago at the Maritime Heritage Centre, was a reminder that the community has a
responsibility to look after the eagles. “We need to make something happen here so we don’t end up with another terrible event like we had a year ago,” Jakeway said. Last year’s incident involved a property owner cutting down an active bald eagle nest tree on the ridge south of Rockland Road. The tree was registered in the province’s nest tree database and mapped in the city’s Sustainable Official Community Plan as an environmentally sensitive area and was protected
under the Provincial Wildlife Act. Currently, the province is in charge of enforcing eagle nest tree protection and levying any fines while the city simply uses per mit guidelines to restrict a property owner from causing a disturbance within a 60-metre area around an eagle nest. However, the city does not have fines or penalties written into law. Coun. Ron Kerr said he agreed eagles need protection but cautioned council against being too stringent and putting up barriers to development.
easier for the city – which has way more horse power – to deal with,” Jakeway said. “I suspect the Strathcona Regional District would be better off without it.” Jakeway was referring to discussions around hiring a new human resource employee. The Strathcona Gardens Commis-
sion, which governs the recreation complex, does not want the position while some members of the regional district board believe the position needs to be filled. If Strathcona Gardens is sold to the city, it’s unclear how that would affect Area D which is outside the city limits but provides
an annual contribution to Strathcona Gardens for use of the facility. This year alone, Area D will be contributing $515,000 of a $3.4 million budget for Strathcona Gardens which includes improvements to Rod Brind’Amour Arena. New surface and dasher boards are expected to be installed this year.

With her talent and dedication for music, it’s okay that Maddy Erickson is picky about choosing a violin. “We took her to a luthier and he pulled out these really nice violins,” says her dad, Jim. “Well, she went through 10 of them and they were all good, but something wasn’t right for her. The guy says he has one more, but he has to string it up first…so we came back a little later and for some reason, that was the one.” The right instrument, in the right hands is a thing of beauty, and the 13-year-old knows how to make beautiful music after playing violin the last seven years. Just ask the adjudicators who heard her March 3 at The Chan Centre for the Performing Arts at the University of British Columbia. Playing to get her Grade 8 in practical violin, Erickson scored the highest mark in the province and was awarded the gold medal. But musical awards are nothing new for the Grade 8 home-schooled student from Campbell River. Last year, says mom Janet, she was named the top junior fiddler in B.C. “We don’t have to go into the fiddle stuff,” Erickson softly scolds. Erickson has set her sights on becoming a professional violinist, “a soloist,” she says, but that doesn’t mean she has forgotten the fiddle. The affable youngster volunteers hours each month playing foot-tappin’, elbowswingin’ fiddle music for residents at the Larwood and Yucalta care facilities, and at the Seniors’ Centre. “The old folks just love it when she plays
politely as possible. T h i s ye a r s h e ’s pleased to be first violinist in the orchestra and her musical talents extend beyond the strings. In June she will complete her Grade 7 exam in piano and next year she expects to finish her final year, Grade 10, in violin. Beyond that, Erickson doesn’t go to sleep dreaming of playing Carnegie Hall in New York City or being asked to solo for the London Symphony. Like many supertalented people who display extraordinary dedication, Erickson focusses on what’s next, what she needs to learn and how she’s going to improve. And that begins with a trip to the music store. “We just got her this new book of music and she was just thrilled. S h e w a s fl i p p i n g through the pages, looking at all the notes and getting excited,” PAUL RUDAN/THE MIRROR says Jim with a smile. Maddy Erickson, 13, of Campbell River was awarded the gold medal for receiving The book in question the top exam marks in B.C. for Grade 8 violin. fiddle,” says Janet. The trouble with fiddle music, it just isn’t demanding enough for
Erickson. Even playing classical as the second violinist in the Strathcona Symphony
Orchestra was becoming mundane. “It was getting a little boring,” she says as

is “Praeludium and Allegro” by Kreisler Fritz, a a classic piece for violin. “He died in 1962, a couple days before his 87th birthday,” advises Erickson, who’s looking forward to learning it all. “Everyone plays it. It’s popular and it’s really fun to play.” Her focus, when it comes to music, is intense and it’s not just learning to play Praeludium and Allegro. “Maddy likes to conquer pieces,” states Janet. And with every very good student, there are some great teachers
behind her. Erickson travels to Nanaimo to take violin lessons from James Mark, takes piano lessons from Shelly Roberts, and history and harmony from Sandy Havaalar, both of Campbell River. Erickson’s next big performance will be in Chilliwack at the end of May when she represents Upper Vancouver Island in junior strings at the provincials. “ We ’ r e a lw ay s thrilled to get a letter from the adjudicator to say she’s going to the provincials,” says Janet.

Book reading at NIC features Traplines author North Island Colle ge’s Write Here Readers Series is very pleased to present celebrated author Eden Robinson who will read from a selection of her works in the theatre at North Island College’s Campbell River campus on Tuesday, March 19. From the moment Robinson burst onto the literary scene, she established a reputation as an unflinching writer. She is the author
of Traplines, Monkey Beach, The Sasquatch at Home and the much anticipated Blood Sports. Robinson’s first book, Traplines, is a collection of dark and brutal short stories that feature a deadpan, gritty humour. The book was published in 1996 and won the UK’s Winifred Holtby prize. Her debut novel Monkey Beach was nominated for the Giller Prize and, like
much of her work, it is a frank, engrossing portrayal of contemporary life in Haisla territory. Monkey Beach garnered unanimous appreciation from critics in the US, UK and Canada. T he Washington Post called it “artfully constructed,” the National Post deemed it “intricately patterned.” Thomas King, author of Truth and Bright Water, says
“Monkey Beach creates a vivid contemporary landscape that draws her reader deep into a traditional world, hidden universe of premonition, pain and power.” Robinson grew up with her older brother and younger sister in Haisla territory near Kitamaat Village, surrounded by the forests and mountains of the central coast of British Columbia. She still resides in Kitamaat Village.
Kitamaat is a Tsimshian word meaning “people of the falling snow,” and (not to be confused with nearby Kitimat town), is home to 700 members of the Haisla Nation. Robinson will present at North Island College’s Campbell River campus on Tuesday, in the theatre at 7 p.m. This event is free to attend and open to the entire community to come and listen to Robinson’s work.

Indian-plum, a native shrub, is thriving within Raven Park.
t’s truly a welcome sight: earlyblooming wild plum shrubs have produced a mini-forest of floral wonder within Campbell River’s Raven Park. Cascading white pendants of fivepetalled bell-shaped blooms shine in contrast to the stilldormant woodland. Tiny golden ‘pores’ on purplish-brown bark make this one amazing springtime find. Indian plum (Oemleria cerasiformis), better known on the south island, is “push-

Curves waves the fee of new members willing to donate to the food bank Curves International announces its 15th Annual Food Drive, Feed the Need, and challenges Curves’ club members in the U.S. and Canada to meet a goal of 100,000 donations during the two week period of March 11 - March 23. Each club, including Curves of Campbell River, is asking its members to donate bags of non-perishable food or cash to support their local community food bank. In addition, Curves of Campbell River will waive the joining fee for new members who bring in a bag of non-perishable food or donate $30 to their local food bank during the two week period. When combined donations from all Curves clubs reaches the goal of 100,000 donations, Curves International will donate 10 per cent of March 2013 profits to Blessings in a Backpack,a non-profit organization that ensures that impoverished elementary school children are fed on the weekends throughout the school year. This year’s theme, Feed the Need, represents both what Curves wants to accomplish with this year’s food drive and what they do as a business – help feed local families and school children who would otherwise go hungry on the weekends – and ‘feed the need’ of local women seeking a health and fitness program that fits their busy lifestyle. Since its inception, the total contributions to local food banks from the annual Curves Food Drive exceed 75,000,000 pounds of food, according to Curves Vice President of Marketing Mike Raymond. “Each year, we encourage our clubs and members to donate even more than the year before. Our annual Food Drive is a great way for members and their communities to fill a real need by restocking the shelves in local food pantries across the U.S. and Canada during a time when they are usually low.” For more information about Curves of Campbell River, located at 919 Ironwood Rd., and the 2013 Curves Food Drive, contact a Curves of Campbell River staff member at 250-287-8379 or 97Y1S6J@curvesmail.com.

Campbell River Living Wanna be a streamkeeper? Bring your gumboots D
o you want to volunteer enhancing fisheries values in Campbell River? There is a two-day Streamkeeper Workshop course offered March 23-24 at North Island College (Room C226). Instructor Dave Clough is a Registered Professional Biologist who has been restoring fish/stream habitat and training habitat stewards for over 25 years. The course is sponsored by Greenways Land Trust and the Salmon Enhancement Program of DFO. The Steamkeepers Training course objective is to provide a science based explanation of stream health. The ecology of streams is explained in modules that all provide basic information on determining
the health of a stream. As a Streamkeeper, you will be given the skills necessary to take responsibility for the streams in our community. Did you know that there are streamkeeper groups in town that steward Nunns Creek, Simms Creek, Willow Creek, Storrie & Woods Creeks, Kingfisher Creek, Menzies Creek, Stonefly & Mayfly Creeks, Mohun Creek and Casey Creek? The groups associated with these creeks are looking for new recruits. As a student, you will spend the morning in the class and the afternoons collecting information in the field. The textbook used is the Pacific Streamkeepers Federation’s Streamkeepers Handbook which has a wealth of informa-
tion. The modules that will be focused on include: introductory and advanced stream habitat, water quality, stream invertebrates, streamside planting and juvenile fish trapping and identification. Slides and videos as well as hands on experience at the creeks using ID keys and monitoring equipment are part of the training. Be prepared to travel to a nearby steam with gumboots or waders, warm clothes and raingear. The course costs $40 per person which includes lunch for both days and your Streamkeepers manual. To register, or for more information, contact Erin Nowak, Greenways Land Trust at 287-3785 or greenways@greenwaystrust.ca
Volunteer streamkeepers work to enhance salmon-bearing potential and the general health of local streams.

Upper Island Safety Conference registration underway
PHOTO BY PAUL JARVIS
Paying attention Penfield Elementary students Nolan Chow and Paige Asmussen present a cheque for $250 to Stephanie Arkwright (and Jayde looking at something more interesting) of the Campbell River SPCA. The money was raised through the Young Entrepreneur program held at the school. The program involves students envisioning, designing, creating, marketing and selling a product at a Young Entrepreneur’s Fair at the school. After the construction and material costs for each product have been covered, students are encouraged to donate 10 per cent of their profits to a charity of their choice. The Penfield students chose the local SPCA to receive their donation. The Young Entrepreneur Program is sponsored by the Community Coastal Credit Union.
Ready for Fibre Fest – registration on now Vancouver Island Fibre Fest 2013 is coming to Campbell River. The City of Campbell River is hosting the first Fibre Fest on May 3-5 at the
Campbell River Community Centre. The event will feature three days of knitting, weaving, spinning, sewing, quilting, workshops, a vendor mall, ongoing free demonstrations, a People’s Choice Gallery and lots of networking. This event is a
fundraiser for Specialized Recreation Programs. Registration has begun, and brochures are available with workshop details www.campbellriver.ca, at vancouverislandfibrefest. blogspot.ca and at the Community Centre.
If you want to learn how to make safety fun, manage mental health claims or how to handle asbestos then the fourth annual Upper Island Safety Conference has a session for you. This year’s event — running May 27-28 in Campbell River — includes a motivational session on the Power of Personal Leadership. This session covers just one of many relevant topics on the agenda, which features discussions on communication, multigenerational workplaces ,improving performance and women’s health and safety, as well as more traditional health and safety concerns, such as confined spaces, incident investigations and field level hazard assessments. WorkSafeBC Senior Regional Officer Bjarne Nielsen says the gathering attracts a mix of industry professionals.

Beat the rainy weather at the Giant Indoor Garage Sale, taking place at the Community Centre from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday. Save on gas with one-stop shopping. Enjoy a coffee and lunch while you’re shopping. There’s no entrance
“We see health and safety workers from municipalities, hospitals, logging companies, you name it,” says Nielsen. “That’s one of the benefits of this conference: all these people with different perspectives networking and exchanging ideas.” Strathcona Regional District Manager of Programs Susan Bullock says another draw for Islanders is the fact that the conference is local. “Small firms can afford to send people,” she says. “And larger organizations can send more people — sometimes even their entire safety committee.” Bullock says some groups are now making this conference their main health and safety training event of the year.

Virginia Lee Wiese Brandon May 24, 1923 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; March 8, 2013
B.C. Schizophrenia Society Campbell River Branch Donations in memory of a loved one may be made to the B.C. Schizophrenia Society, Campbell River Branch, Box 651, Campbell River, BC., V9W 6J3
Born to this life May 24, 1923, with an adventurous spirit and a generous heart, Virginia Lee (Wiese) Brandon was born to eternal life March 8, 2013. In her 89 years she lived in seven US states plus Argentina and ďŹ nally Canada. Virginia married John Ahlman Brandon in 1944. He took her to her junior prom in North Platte, Nebraska and she never dated another man. At their parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; insistence Virginia went to nurses training at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN and John attended the University of Nebraska. Soon John enlisted in the army, and on leave he and Virginia married in Chicago. When his military service was over, they were one of the many married couples who wanted to complete their college education, but it was before the days of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;married housingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; so they lived in one of the scores of tiny travel-trailers inside the Athletic Field House at Colorado School of Mines. Virginia worked as a nurse, John graduated with distinction as a mining engineer, and both took care of their ďŹ rst daughter, Carol. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career took the family ďŹ rst to mining towns in New Mexico, where their other two daughters Susan and Kathy were born, and then to other lead, zinc, silver and copper underground mines all over the western United States. Virginia often worked outside the home too: as a hospital nurse, school nurse, for Planned Parenthood, and eventually as a nurse anesthetist. After Virginia and John bought their property in Campbell River in the early 1970s, Virginia owned and operated a deli, and some residential rental property. She worked for Communitas Supportive Care Society, and their mission was dear to her. When she set herself a goal, she simply took one step toward it, and then another, without being overwhelmed by all the possible future difďŹ culties. This, and her wide interests, allowed her to lease some land in Idaho and eventually raise a variety of farm animals, take a sailing trip out of Boston on a tall-masted schooner, backpack the Vancouver Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s west coast Lifesaving Trail with her daughters, and sea-kayak through Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s San Juan Islands. Virginia oriented her life around God, her family, and friends. She quietly and generously supported many charities. To the last she found people and their varied lives interesting. She enjoyed reading and watching the cruise ships ďŹ&#x201A;oat by like lighted Christmas trees on the Inland Passage. She is survived by her daughters Carol Brandon, Susan Brandon, and Kathy Brandon, and their spouses; six grandchildren; four greatgrandchildren; her dog Pulo-with-the-soft-fur; and many dear friends in the Campbell River community. Her death leaves a hole in many lives. We hope you will smile when you remember Virginia as she embarks on her next adventure. Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Celebration of Life Service was held at Discovery Community Church in Campbell River on March 9. Ashes will be placed by the family at a later date. If you wish to make a donation in honor of Virginia, please consider Communitas Supportive Care Society. The family thanks all those who supported us during this time.

HELEN CLARK Born as Helena Dyck in Harris Saskatchewan on October 24, 1924 she weighed in at 1 pound and was kept warm on the oven door at home. Growing up she was not always content with the Status Quo, sometimes an instigator, but always willing to break with tradition. Moving across the prairies she met and married her Bible School Teacher and her love Abe Koop, they continued on to BC where she had six boys and 17 grandchildren. Widowed in 1993, married a second time in 1999 to Harry Clark, enjoyed another Love, retirement, and wonderful friends. Widowed again in August 2012 and left us to be with the Lord on December 4. Her passion of art evident in the many pieces left in charcoal, acrylics, and oil. She loved the water and spent many years in synchronized swimming, practicing, having fun, and competing. Her love of music has left many memories of her ďŹ lling the house with wonderful melodies on the piano amidst a Heavenly smell of fresh baking. High on her list was going out for lunch with Harry and reading while she could. From the very small beginning grew a great heart and we were blessed to have had her and to know her. A daughter, a sister, a mother, a wife, a grandmother, a teacher, a great-grandmother, a conďŹ dant, and a friend. She lived, she laughed, she loved, and we grieve. Memorial to be held April 13th at Sardis Fellowship Baptist Church Wells Rd. Chilliwack 12:00 noon.

3X7.5 ELECTORAL AREA ‘D’ OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN REVIEW 2013 PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE!
Sneak Peek benefits local charities (Above) Shayleen Harris (centre) of Cameryn’s Cause for Kids Society, accepts a donation of $2,300 from CR DanceXtreme owners and artistic directors Shawna Sloan and Buddy Mynatt. The money was raised at last month’s Sneak Peek Into Precision – a benefit performance at the Tidemark Theatre that featured CR DanceXtreme’s dance numbers for the current competitive season. The event also raised $2,300 for the Campbell River branch of the B.C. SPCA. Cameryn’s Cause for Kids Society was founded by the Harris family in honour of their daughter Cameryn, who passed away from a brain tumour at the age of three. The society provides financial assistance for local families with children facing a life-threatening illness. See www.camerynscause.com for more information. (Above, right) Kathleen Embree (centre), manager of the Campbell River branch of the B.C. SPCA, accepts a donation of $2,300 from Sloan and Mynatt and their dog Indiana. The money was also raised at last month’s Sneak Peek Into Precision.

Timberline/NIC to host Olympic-style trades and technology competition
H
ammers will be swinging, sparks flying and cameras rolling at the Timberline Secondary/North Island College campus today. The school will be host to the Skills Canada BC Vancouver Island North regionals, an Olympic-style trades and technology competition. Skills Canada is a non-profit organiza-
tion that partners with government, educators, private industry and labour to promote and celebrate the skilled trades and technologies as possible first choice careers for young people across each province. Skills Canada BC hosts 13 regional and one provincial competition each year. Winners of the regional competitions advance
to the provincials, which will be held at the Abbotsford Tradex Centre April 17. From the provincials, students have the chance of advancing to the national skills competition at BC Place in June. Over 100 students will compete at the Vancouver Island North regionals in: 2D and 3D computer animation; architectural
and mechanical CAD; automotive service; baking; cabinetmaking; carpentry; culinary arts; digital art; electronics; fashion technology; graphic and web design; hairdressing; robotics; TV and video production; website development; and welding. The regional competition for carpentry was held on Feb. 21 at the Courtenay North Island
College campus. Four students from Carihi Secondary competed and placed in the top five, with first place honours going to grade 12 student Trevor Schmidt. The competitions serve two main purposes. The first is to celebrate and reward students for excellence in their mastery of trade and technology skills by
involving industry in evaluating skills to keep training relevant to employers’ needs. The second is to create an interactive and engaging environment for the thousands of young people who attend the competitions as spectators. Young spectators are provided many opportunities to experience a wide variety of skilled trade and
technology careers by watching the competitions, participating in First Hand demonstrations and networking with the hundreds of industry and educational experts in attendance. Last year there were 460 competitors at the provincial competition in Abbotsford, together with more than 4,000 visitors to the event.
And while you’re there, try a trade at North Island College C
urious about a career as a Red Seal chef, working with electronics and robotics, or building and maintaining aircraft? NIC’s Campbell River campus will partner with Skills Canada British Columbia (Skills BC) to offer community members and students in our region the opportunity to try their hand at a trade today. Beginning at 10 am, students and community members are invited to drop
by NIC’s Campbell River campus (1685 Dogwood Street) and Vigar Road Vocational Centre (2780 Vigar Road). NIC’s knowledgeable instructors will be leading hands-on activities in Electrical, Welding, Culinary Arts, Electronics, Heavy Duty, Aircraft Structures and more. Campus tours will be offered and a shuttle service between the campus and the Vigar Road Vocational Centre will be available throughout the day.
Presentations will be made by the Industry Training Authority as well as the Canadian Forces, and those attending will also have the opportunity to watch talented young contenders at the 2013 Skills Canada Regional competitions, taking place at North Island College and Timberline Secondary on the same day. The Skills Canada event is an annual showcase of students competing in the skilled trades. NIC’s Try a Trade Day will give students
who aren’t competing the opportunity to get hands-on experience in the trades and to watch the competitors who already possess a strong abilities, competing in areas they are passionate about. Randy Grey, Career Programs Coordinator with School District #71, has been coordinating Regional Skills Canada Competitions for approximately eleven years. “This is a dream come true for me,” he says. “The competitions we’ve had in the past have been excel-

lent, but with the Try a Trade Day at NIC, other students, not just the competitors, can experience trades for themselves. The opportunity for peer to peer observation is also excellent.” “We want students to think about trades as an option when they graduate,” continues Grey. “I feel strongly that if more students were exposed to the trades, they may choose education and training more consistent with their true strengths.” Current statistics
support the need for education in the trades. According to the British Columbia Trade Occupations Outlook: 2009-2019, by 2019 Vancouver Island will require 28,250 more skilled workers to fill vacant and new positions. Skills BC is a proactive non-profit organization that partners with government, educators, private industry and labour to promote and celebrate the skilled trades and technologies as first choice career opportunities for young people
across the province. North Island College is the region’s leading provider of certified trades and apprenticeship training offering education in over 15 different trades. Stop by NIC in Campbell River today between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. to Try a Trade. Everyone is welcome and there is no fee to attend.

Steve Nagle (left) when not riding his bike, runs the Merville 15K, here with a big-eared friend.
Tune up for the Merville 15K The Merville 15K road race will take place on Sunday, April 7. This is the 23rd year that the River Runners Running club has been hosting this event which is race #7 in the Vancouver Island Race Series. The race route follows quiet country roads and is a fairly flat and fast course. One feature that makes this race unique from other Island Series races are our pace bunnies, who keep runners on track for a specific finishing time and amuse the spectators. The race start is 11 a.m. with an early start for walkers and slower runners at 10:15 a.m. If you register before April 3, 2013 the fee is $25. Day of race registration is $35. You can register on line at www.racedaytiming.ca; mail your entry to the River Runners, Box 11, Campbell River, V9W 4Z9 or drop off your entry at the Sportsplex; attention Linda Nagle. Day of race registration takes place at the Merville Hall 9-10:15 a.m. For more information on the event or for information on the River Runners running club please contact crriverrunners@gmail.com

Mayor Walter Jakeway, centre, proclaims Feb. 23 as Rotary Day in Campbell River. Rotarians, from left, Todd Peachey (Noon Club president), Ron Fisher (Daybreak), Erica Chan-Lafrance (Daybreak), Rhonda Harper (Daybreak), Barry Watchorn (Daybreak), and Kelly Fisher (President of Daybreak) attend the proclamation outside City Hall.
Rotary is in the top tier of charities in B.C. Rotary clubs in British Columbia raised $8.5 million for charitable work in their communities and for international humanitarian work in 2012 a new report states. For the first time, a survey was conducted of the 147 Rotary clubs in the province to estimate the total amount of money received in one year for community projects and humanitarian work. Rotary clubs are semi-autonomous therefore do not generally report their fundraising. The author of the report, Chris Offer, from Delta stated, “I knew the amount raised by clubs was high but never thought that would reach $8.5 million. This report demonstrates the often unreported impact of volunteer fundraising in our communities.” Locally a Rotary club is a small philanthropic
organization that contributes to a variety of local and international community humanitarian and educational projects. Provincially, at $8.5 million, Rotary is in the top tier of charities in BC. Globally, Rotary raises conceivably $1.5 billion every year in the nearly 33,000 Rotary clubs in 200 countries and geographic areas. This makes Rotary one of the world’s largest charities. Rotary District Governor Rebecca MacPherson, from Quesnel stated, “I am always impressed by the work done by Rotary clubs in their communities. The dollars raised is only part of the impact they make. Every project is leveraged with numerous hours of volunteer time, sometimes hundreds of hours.”
The study illustrates the impact of charitable fundraising done by groups that are not registered charities and do not issue income tax receipts. Offer stated, “Charity in recent years has been controlled by the large professional charities. We forget about the numerous volunteer groups that raise funds with raffles, 50-50 draws, dinners and auctions. Groups that do not issue tax receipts are not counted in official statistics.” The Rotary clubs in BC do not use paid fundraisers or have any paid staff. Therefore the administration costs are very low, possibly below 2 or 3 per cent. Rotary clubs do conduct financial reviews of their fundraising and follow guidelines regarding reporting to their membership.

New lights for the Discovery Pier is only one example of the many local projects Rotarians undertake in Campbell River.
O
ne hundred years is not a long time in the grand scheme of things but in context it was 1866 when the Colonies of Vancouver Island and British Columbia merged; it was 1871 when B.C. joined Canadian Confederation; 1885 when the Canadian Pacific Railroad across Canada was completed and 1905 when a new idea, a Rotary Club was first established in Chicago. Rotary arrived in B.C. 100 years ago, in 1913 at Vancouver via the club in San Francisco. The Noon club was chartered in Campbell River in 1946 with the Daybreak club following in 1987. Interact, the secondary school affiliate clubs are in place at both Carihi and Timberline. Worldwide, Rotary has about 1.25 million male and female members, in more than 200 countries and geographical regions of all sorts spread over 33,000 individual clubs. This makes Rotary a truly worldwide, positive influence for enhancing the lives of all of us who share planet earth. Campbell River has approximately 160 active Rotarians split evenly between the two clubs: The Rotary Club of Campbell River (“Noon”) and Daybreak Rotary Club of Campbell River (“Daybreak”). This article is intended to address the history highlights of local community service activities plus provide a glimpse of international service supported by local Rotarians. It is significant to note that public funds raised in the community stay in the community. International
projects are supported by direct Rotarian member donations with the exception that community raised funds can be designated for foreign use if that intent is clearly and conspicuously declared at the time funds are raised.

Long, proud history of improving the quality of life for others Continued from B5 lows. ● Student exchange programs. We usually send 3 local students on year long exchanges to such varied places as Switzerland, Thailand and South Africa. Students are sent on various “adventure” programs; to music, leadership, industrial and scholastic venues; others to ambassadorial exchanges, etc. ● The Rotary Foundation – the world’s largest private foundation promotes international understanding, peace and goodwill through humanitarian, educational and cultural programs. One of the means of achieving this is “PolioPlus”. In 1985 Rotary International led an initiative to rid the world of the polio virus much as had been done earlier with smallpox. This has been an enormous undertaking involving many agencies and, ultimately the development of an oral vaccine. The manpower and capital costs of vaccinating billions of youth in far flung, remote locations with very suspicious leaders has reduced the number of active cases to a handful. The eradication goal remains. ● Emergency aid. When natural disasters such as tsunamis, earthquake, fire, flood or war or other calamity strikes the response ability is often limited. Rotary has a shelter box program where packaged tent housing and supplies for up to
ten per unit can be flown / delivered to those in need very quickly. ● World Community Service. Projects have been sponsored and we have made a difference is such varied places as Central and South America, Africa, Eastern Europe, India and Asia including water wells and systems, schools, agricultural and sanitation improvements. Wheelchairs, a joint project managed by Daybreak has seen five different containers of new wheelchairs ($150 per chair x 280 per container) shipped to five countries, most recently Columbia. Future deliveries are planned for South Africa (2014) and Bolivia (2015). The containers of wheelchairs are largely funded by the annual Dancing and Tapas event traditionally held every April. ● Different needy regions for distribution to the needy. There are many medical offerings by Rotary touching on eyesight/cataracts, deformities/plastic surgery; hearing and the distribution of modern care to more primitive locales. This is just a glimpse of what your Rotary clubs are all about. We have a long, proud list of enhancing the quality of life for others which, of course, ultimately affects us all. You can find out more about Rotary through Google or by enquiring of any Rotarian. We are always looking for good, community minded people.

Since 1990, Rotary Club of Campbell River has been involved in many World Community Service Projects. Club contributions so far have reached beyond the $ 82,000 US which resulted in a projects value of over $1 million. The last number of years they have been focused on Honduras. In the surroundings of Santa Barbara our Tierra Blanca Water project is at this time in progress. Last year they were successful in applying $37,500 US in grants from Rotary International and District 5020 to complete this $ 52,500 clean water project. Adding to their initial $5,175 the $15,000 in seed money came from the following clubs: Comox, South Cowichan,
Campbell River Daybreak and Port Hardy. At this time they are working on another Water project in Las Penitas Arriba situiated in the Nuevo Merendon mountains nearby the city of San Pedro Sula partnering with the Usula Rotary Club in that city. This project consists of an intake dam, a 4.5 km pipe line, a 30,000 gallon water reservoir and 1.5 km of distribution pipes to the local residents. This is kind of the same as the Tierra Blanca project. The last number of years they have partnered with other Rotary clubs of the North Island, Comox Valley and South Cowichan to make it more viable to undertake bigger projects.

ELK FALLS CREMATORIUM/ISLAND FUNERAL SERVICES
CONGRATULATES ROTARY AS IT CELEBRATES ITS CENTENNIAL
Kent and Rosemarie Roduck Rotarians and Paul Harris Fellows. As 20 year Rotarians, Kent and Rosemarie Roduck practice the Rotary Motto of "Service Above Self" not only in their service club work, but on a daily basis as Funeral Directors. "We've found that the Rotary 4-Way Test provides an excellent standard for operating any kind of service business, but particularly what we do," says Kent. "The 4-Way Test is a simple guideline to ensure that your firm operates consistently with the utmost integrity.
1) Is it the truth? 2) Is it fair to all concerned? 3) Will it build goodwill and better friendship? 4) Will it be beneficial to all concerned? Since Rotary's focus is aimed at contributing to the community wherever possible, Kent and Rosemarie feel that, as a locally owned and operated firm, Elk Falls Crematorium/Island Funeral Services has many advantages.
Elk Falls Crematorium Island Funeral Services
"When we felt Campbell River would benefit from having its own crematorium, we filled the need. Then we saw the opportunity to provide complete funeral services, celebrations of life with receptions, and anything a family could require from one convenient on-site location at Elk Falls Cemetery. As a result we expanded our building to provide Campbell River residents with that convenience, along with columbarium niche walls and a scattering garden for cremated remains.
Our Elk Falls Funeral and Cremation Centre has been exceptionally well received by Campbell River families", adds Rosemarie. As do countless Rotarians, Kent and Rosemarie give a great deal of time and support to many community organizations. "It's a privilege to be part of Rotary International and to work with so many talented, creative, hardworking individuals, who give back so much to their community," adds Kent.
