T-Mar’s innovation highlights economic comeback PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Coming out of a lengthy economic recession, it was good to see a full boardroom at T-Mar Industries. That’s what Tyson Lambert thought as he snapped a picture of staff, politicians, government public relations, and media who crammed into the room Wednesday morning. “My dad George is in the hospital right now. This is for him,” said Lambert, whose father owns the industrial engineering and manufacturing firm located on Duncan Bay Road. When forestry was good, T-Mar boomed – fixing, customizing and innovating large equipment for the coastal forest industry. In recent years though, with the downturn in forestry, the company relied on the few repairs that came its way. But no longer, the price of lumber is on the rise, pointed out Jobs and Labour Minister Pat Bell, and forestry operations Continued on A4

City hall: ‘Enough is enough, we’re fed up,’ chief says Continued from A1 Mudge Band. “I’m fed up with those guys (at city hall). They don’t seem to understand we have title and right… there will come a day when we will get what we want and you’ll have no say.” Dick spoke with the Mirror following Tuesday’s roundtable luncheon meeting sponsored by the Campbell River Chamber of Commerce. What was supposed to be a friendly exchange of ideas with outgoing Liberal minister Pat Bell – as well as a coming out party for North Island Liberal candidate Nick Facey – took a sour turn when Chief Dick expressed his displeasure with city staff and council. “They seem to totally ignore us and then think about thems e l ve s … e n o u g h i s enough, we’re fed up,” he said during a later interview. C a m p b e l l R ive r Indian Band Chief Bob Pollard couldn’t make it to the meeting, but expressed similar sentiments.

“I’m not going to say we get along very well…it’s never been very good,” he said. “T here’s not very much communication between the city and the band. It’s ridiculous.” The latest sore spot for the Campbell River Band is the city’s refusal to provide the band with the same tax incentives for new development that is being offered to downtown land owners. “The tax breaks stop right at our boundary…and we have plans to develop our land. Where’s the fairness?” asked Pollard. “And there’s this perception that we don’t pay taxes. We pay a lot of tax to the city for our commercial developments, the marina and through services agreements.” Chief Dick roughly estimated the two bands have more than $100 million in commercial assets in the Campbell River area and they will have even more when treaties are settled or they enter into more agreements

Chief Ralph Dick participated in a Chamber of Commerce roundtable. with higher levels of government. The band wants to work with the city, but Dick says it’s like a one-way street. He said $300,000 from the Willow Point upgrade project was supposed to go into fixing Willis Road – a key access road from the Quinsam Reserve to the Campbell River Hospital – but nothing was ever done for Willis. As well, he said, the city refused to provide sewer and water to band land where a big

box store was supposed to be built. And thirdly, the chief is particularly angry at the city’s refusal to support a property transfer. According to Chief Dick, the Cape Mudge Band spent six years working with the province to regain land which was lost when a road was built without band consent. The new deal would h ave t u r n e d ove r unused Crown land, located near the band’s Quinsam Reserve in Campbell River, in exchange for the loss. But Dick said the city refused to support the deal. In response, Dick said the band will not support the city’s proposal for a future community forest. “They’re pushing us, so we’re pushing back,” he said. “I don’t understand it. We spend all our money in Campbell River. We buy our cars, our lumber, our food and our furniture all here, and we hire local contractors. We’re not some corporation where all the money goes somewhere else.”

“

THEY SAID IT: “We’re coming and we’re coming with a bang.” – Cape Mudge Chief Ralph Dick

The Campbell River Indian Band is a major force in Campbell River retail. Discovery Harbour Mall, Walmart and Home Depot are all located on band property. On Quadra Island, the Cape Mudge Band own and operate Tsa Kwa Luten Lodge, the campgrounds by Rebecca Spit, and the nearby scallop farm. In Campbell River, the band has its own burgeoning commercial development, Quinsam Crossing, and is about to finalize a large-scale industrial/resource agreement with the Campbell River-based Pallan group to form the Middle Point Harbour Limited Partnership. “The city has to realize we’re coming and

we’re coming with a bang,” Chief Dick stated. At the roundtable meeting, Minister Bell acknowledged the chief ’s frustration and city councillor Andy Adams offered his respect for First Nations and the hope they can work together. Mayor Walter Jakeway didn’t offer an olive branch, but instead launched into a speech on how the Middle Point port could profit by shipping bulk water to thirsty nations. He then added, twice for effect, that such a proposal these days

is “political suicide.” And if that wasn’t enough, he lamented on how the province should be building nursing schools beside hospitals. That brought a sigh from North Island College President Jan Lindsay who was six seats away from Jakeway. The college has a successful nursing program at its Comox Valley campus, right beside the location for the new, soon-to-bebuilt hospital. “Maybe I need to tell the mayor that,” said Lindsay as she was leaving.

Local company selected to highlight economic recovery Continued from A1 are ramping up as the demand grows. “We see it as the perfect storm,” said Lambert. “There’s a shortage of wood, the supply’s been going down the last four to five years, there’s no new equipment being manufactured, and it’s all

causing a supply problem. And now demand is picking up.” To meet that demand T-Mar is rebuilding the big 400 series excavators to meet the niche of pulling out large logs, including old growth timber, from the forests. The company is also

designing and building Log-Champ swing yarders, more powerful and lighter than older models, and specifically designed for improved performance in steep areas. The later point is key in the new biomass inventory for the region. The recently released report identifies several steep slope areas where the swing yarder would be ideal for cost-effective logging. “With the price of fuel, you can imagine where heli-logging is at,” noted Lambert. Bell and his staff selected T-Mar to highlight the economic recovery for the forest industry as well as the new biomass inventory report and the airborne magnetic survey. The inventory report identifies the leftovers of logging; trees that were not taken due to the high cost of harvesting as well as the stumps and branches – typically bur ned on site – are valuable when converted into wood pellets. According to a government news release,

Al Lee, a mechanical engineer in training at T-Mar Industries, pulls up a 3D image of a new grapple yarder. T-Mar engineers develop their own equipment software and design custom parts for its machines.

“This new biomass inventory reported… offers detailed technical information about biomass sources and volume for 23 supply areas near Campbell River.” The magnetic survey was conducted last summer by helicopters flying grid pat-

terns over large tracts of the Upper Island. The high-resolution maps, available to the public, helps geoscientists identify potential minerals and metals for mining. Minister Bell believes this will lead to a lot more mining exploration in the region that equates to

hundreds of jobs and millions of dollars. “A study from Smithers suggests more than $100 million has been spent on exploration and staking, and has created 900 FTEs (full-time equivalent jobs) in a community of about 4,000 people,” he said. “In an under-

Seymour Pacific tweaks downtown headquarters KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Seymour Pacific has made design changes to its proposed downtown headquarters building that will slightly downsize the facility. The company has moved from its original plan for a fivestorey building to a four-storey office on five lots that border St. Ann’s Road and Alder, Dubeau, and Beech streets. Overall, changes to the design plan are significant enough that the company needs a new development per mit which was approved at a council meeting Tuesday night. “In July 2012 a development permit was granted for a similar development concept,” said Chris Osborne, city planner, in a report to council. “However, since that time, the design program has evolved, resulting in a revised siting and placement of the building, rearrangement of parking and landscaping, and changes to the external architectural appearance. The scale of changes is such that a new development permit is required.” Osbor ne said the changes are not of concern to city staff. “Overall, the proposed changes represent improvement on the previous design prog ram and the revised proposal aligns well with the OCP (Official Community Plan),” Osborne said. He noted in the designs that the build-

ing has been repositioned to sit closer to Alder Street which helps form a better sense of place and enclosure and creates a stronger edge. Osborne said the change also hides the parking areas from view, containing the parking lot to one area behind the building. The proposed changes would also help the large building blend in with its surroundings. “The overall massing of the building would be less than the previous proposal and while larger than nearby buildings, would not be out of scale with the surrounding areas,” Osborne said. “The addition of cedar cladding, eaves and support structures to the various canopies represents a significant change. The revised proposal as a result has a more distinctive West Coast vernacular and greater visual interest.” T h e n ew d e s i g n would also complement elements on the Chances casino building across the street. Outside the building, design alterations provide for more room for landscaping, in partic-

ular a plaza area on the southeastern portion of the site with two infinity water walls linking the terrace

of the building to the plaza. A large planting bed is proposed to screen the plaza from the parking area to the

north. S e y m o u r Pa c i f i c Developments and Broadstreet Properties Ltd. has com-

mitted to building a n ew h e a d q u a r t e r s to accommodate its growing company. The locally-owned company

employs 250 people and has more than 25 years of experience in land development and construction.

Aquarium slated to open in time for Ocean’s Day KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A new public aquarium is expected to open in Campbell River on Ocean’s Day. The building, which Campbell River’s Discovery Passage SeaLife Society took off Ucluelet’s hands, will be set up at the fishing pier to complement the Maritime Heritage Centre and Discovery Pier. Mark Wunsch, president of the SeaLife

Society, announced at Tuesday’s council meeting that the aquarium will be open in time for summer. “Our scheduled season opening is on Ocean’s Day, June 8,” Wunsch said. “We’re hoping to achieve that if all permitting goes smoothly.” To help the nonprofit society with development permit and building permit fees, council approved a grant-in-aid to cover $1,213.60 in fees which

will be covered by the c i t y ’s C o m m u n i t y Partnership Reserve. Council also voted to contribute $5,000 to be a founding sponsor. The 16 x 48 foot aquarium was purchased from Ucluelet last year by the Discovery SeaLife Society, with help from the Campbell River Rotary Club. The facility is expected to have 30 different tanks full of sea life native to the area. “It’s about education

Liquor outside Tidemark raises concerns KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The Tidemark Theatre’s application to allow guests to drink alcohol outside in the courtyard is raising concer ns over the community’s most vulnerable. Gord Taylor, captain of the Salvation Ar my Community Crest Church, has worked for the Salvation Army since 1988. In 25 years he’s seen countless numbers of people who struggle with substance abuse. “I’ve met hundreds and hundreds of people whose lives have basically been destroyed by alcohol,” Taylor said. “So anything I guess that promotes its use in a public area, especially in a place where young families could be passing by, I think is a bad idea.” The Tidemark is applying to the provincial Liquor Control and Licensing Branch to expand

its liquor licence to allow people to drink in the outdoor courtyard area between the front doors of the theatre and part of the sidewalk, but not including the main courtyard between the Tidemark and the library. Bryon Armstrong, who has operated a business close to the Tidemark for more than two decades, wrote a letter to city council opposing the Tidemark’s application. “I would definitely be opposed to allow an outdoor courtyard where there is alcohol served,” Armstrong wrote. “This would not be in the best interest of the downtown businesses.” City council has a different view. At Tuesday night’s council meeting Coun. Ryan Mennie said nearby businesses can take advantage of the people congregating downtown. Coun. Mary Storry ag reed with the

RCMP’s take on the Tidemark’s proposal that having more “eyes on the street” will deter loitering and other undesirable activity, which will benefit downtown businesses. Kim Emsley-Leik, Tidemark managing director, said expanding the theatre’s liquor licence to include an outdoor area will help contribute to the city’s goal of revitalizing downtown. “We think an outdoor patio would cultivate the atmosphere downtown and complement events across the street at Spirit Square,” Emsley-Leik said. “I think if the city is serious about revitalizing downtown we need to think food, drink, and entertainment – the things that bring people together.” The Tidemark is also applying to expand its liquor licence to allow alcohol consumption in the auditorium, on the stage for smaller, more intimate events,

9-1-1 service adopts budget North Island 9-1-1 Corporation, the regional emergency communications service provider on northern Vancouver Island, has adopted a 2013 operating budget of $2.4 million and approved capital equipment expenditures of $602,000 funded from reserves. The operating budget, an increase of $130,633 from 2012, is used to pay

for the agreement with the RCMP to provide initial call answering for 9-1-1 calls and for operating and maintaining a fire dispatch and mapping system used for the dispatch of 49 fire departments covering a geographic area of approximately 60,000 square kilometres. The North Island 911 Corp. provides an emergency communication

link between citizens and visitors and emergency responders. In 2012, there were 69,244 9-1-1 calls taken at the operational communication centre based in Courtenay. For information on the North Island 9-1-1 Corporation, and other important things to remember when calling in an emergency, visit the website at www.nisl911.bc.ca

backstage, and in the green room. Currently, alcohol is only allowed to be consumed in the lobby which can only hold up to 150 people. Emsley-Leik said part of the reason for the changes is to increase the Tidemark’s ability to bring in more shows and the resulting economic spin offs. “What I’ve noticed is the shows that sell tickets are the ones with name recognition,” Emsley-Leik said. “But name recognition artists charge more for their services. “There’s not a huge differential between artist fees and ticket prices so where we can possibly offset the cost of the show is the concession. Concession sales are key to offsetting the cost of shows.” But Coun. Larry Samson wasn’t convinced that expanding the liquor zones was the best route to take.

“My concer n is the proximity to the library, the Visitor Info Centre and Spirit Square and (nearby) families,” Samson said. “My understanding is the liquor licence star ts at 11 a.m. everyday. Does council have the authority to restrict the liquor licence?” Kevin Brooks, the city’s senior planner, said council could make recommendations to the province to restrict the licence. Emsley-Leik tried to put Samson’s mind at ease. “ T h e T i d e m a rk has a long history of responsible serving, a long history of training,” she said. “This is just adding to the downtown atmosphere and we look forward to continuing to serve responsibly.” Council in the end voted in favour of recommending the Tidemark’s liquor licence amendment application to the province.

Our View

Falling voter turnout a disturbing trend With all the speculation about the coming provincial election campaign, little attention is rarely paid to an alarming trend — the rate of voter participation is We say: Elections dropping steadily, and in 20 years, it may be at minimal levels. are contests All this happens as governments at between powerful all levels take more and more money from taxpayers’ pockets, and face and the loud significant challenges. In the 2009 provincial election, the turnout was just over 50 per cent.

As NDP leader Adrian Dix put it bluntly at a recent luncheon meeting in Langley, the BC Liberals were actually elected by 23 per cent of the people eligible to vote, while his party in opposition received votes from just 21 per cent of those eligible. As recently as 1983, 70 per cent of those eligible voted in a provincial election. Dix is correct in diagnosing that an increasing number of young people don’t see any point in voting. Most are not disinterested in the world around them, but they don’t see voting or being involved with a political party as making any real

difference. As a result of this disinterest, Dix says elections (and governing) increasingly are reduced to contests between the powerful and the loud, with almost everyone else shunted off to the sidelines. It’s not a good omen for democracy. There must be concerted efforts to get young people to engage in voting. Dix has proposed having 16-year-olds on the voters’ list, so they’re ready to vote at 18. This and other measures need to be looked at as well. – Black Press

Festival WoWs visitor Congratulations to the 2013 Words on the Water Committee for putting together an outstanding Writers’ Festival held at the Maritime Heritage Centre last weekend. I drove north from Victoria for my first experience at this festival and left knowing that I’ll be back in 2014. The authors who spoke and interacted with the audience in a personal way represented the diversity of Canadian culture and a range of literary accomplishments. There was something of interest for everyone who attended. It was an honor for all of us to hear from our national poet laureate, Fred Wah and to hear from him the personal history of how authors from minority ethnic groups have come into their own and have enriched the literary experience of Canadian readers.

Both of B.C.’s political parties have betrayed us

Tom Fletcher B.C. Views

There was some public business conducted in the final frantic days of the B.C. legislature session last week, but you likely wouldn’t have heard much about it. Premier Christy Clark’s skimpy governing agenda was overshadowed by the delivery of an internal investigation report into her government’s ethnic outreach program. A review by four deputy ministers detailed what reporters already knew from a memo and meeting notes leaked to the NDP. The plan started in the premier’s office, led by Clark’s deputy chief of staff, who resigned as soon as it was made public. A B.C. Liberal Party employee attended the first meeting, expressly

intended to organize events to impress immigrant communities, then harvest the goodwill in the form of contact lists for the coming election campaign. After 10,000 e-mails were collected and 27 interviews conducted, they revealed a few significant details. Former multiculturalism minister John Yap knew or should have known that the scheme was being kept secret because it was an inappropriate use of government resources. He won’t be back in cabinet, although Clark said he intends to run for re-election in Richmond-Steveston. Yap’s executive assistant resigned when the report came out, admitting he helped cover the tracks of politi-

cal meddling in the hiring of three outreach contractors with sufficient loyalty to the party. Clark insists she knew nothing of this plan. She tabled the investigation report, and then announced that the B.C. Liberal Party had written a $70,000 cheque to the government to cover the estimated cost of the inappropriate political work done by nonpolitical staff. Here’s the part taxpayers may not fully appreciate. There are authorized political staffers all over the legislature, in the premier’s office, the opposition leader’s office and two teams of caucus employees who spend much of their time digging up dirt on the other party. All are paid

by you and me. A line is crossed only when a nonpolitical employee such as a ministry communications director acts on behalf of the party. The main offender in that capacity was one Brian Bonney, whose records suggested he spent half of his time on party work. He quit in February, before the plan was leaked, and the party paid back half of his salary for the 18 months he was on the public payroll. NDP outrage over this was blunted by another leaked document. This one was from a never-released 2010 report by Auditor General John Doyle, which condemned a five-year program of skimming money from Continued on A9

City could get a helping hand with its infrastructure KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

City council adopted its 2013 budget Tuesday night and may get some help with the most expensive items in the financial plan. The city’s five-year financial plan includes a 3.91 per cent residential tax increase, $100,000 in airport business opportunities, $40,000 for RCMP building repairs and $30,000 for exterior painting on the Community Centre among other things.

But one of the most significant items in the budget is council’s authorization to borrow $15 million over 15 years to pay for nearly $60 million in water and sewer projects between 2013 and 2017. Mayor Walter Jakeway, who does not support the city adding to its existing $6 million debt, said the 2013 federal budget could provide some relief. Jakeway said Tuesday reports indicated there would be a $30 billion infrastructure item in the budget,

expected to be tabled by Finance Minister Jim Flaherty on Thursday after the Mirror went to press. “There’s potentially money that’s going to be available and we need to be ready to jump on it,” Jakeway said. “It’s always good to be first out of the gate. We need to be ready or else some big city in Ontario is going to get it all.” The Conservative government two years ago said it would work with the Federation of Canadian Munici-

palities to replace the infrastructure stimulus prog rams that expire in 2013-2014. According to media reports, the federation is expecting the government will provide between $4.25 billion and $5 billion per year for municipalities. That would be welcome news to the City of Campbell River. Ron Neufeld, the city’s general manager of operations, has warned council the city’s infrastructure, particularly water, is aging and the longer

the upgrades are put off, the more costs will rise. Coun. Claire Moglove stressed the importance of dealing with those major projects during budget planning in January. “Water and sewer are the number one and two services,” Moglove said. “You turn on the tap, you get water. You flush the toilet, things go away. “This is our staff saying to us in order to have a viable water and sewer system, this is what we need to do.”

Submissions to the Mirror

ver-Fraserview candidate page boasts of his ethnic outreach work, which included tirelessly warning B.C.’s Chinese community about the evils of the harmonized sales tax. In fact, it was the NDP-Yiu operation that inspired a B.C. Liberal copycat plan.

The NDP quietly stopped the budget skimming after Doyle pointed out the blindingly obvious, which is that constituency funds are to serve constituents and are not to be diverted to political organizing. It was kept under wraps by the secretive

Legislative Assembly Management Committee. This is the B.C. Liberal-NDP co-managed trough of undocumented MLA expenses and other questionable payments that Doyle has only recently dragged into the light. Both of these schemes have the same stink.

Both are intentional abuse of taxpayers’ money for the political gain of the dominant parties. There is no moral high ground for either of them. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

Billion dollar BC Hydro project will require weekend, overnight blasting and excavating KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

BC Hydro is looking for an exemption from the city’s noise bylaw to allow drilling through the night as part of the John Hart Dam Generating Station project. Ste phen Watson, spokesperson for BC Hydro, said construction of the two kilometre, eight diameter tunnel – which will replace the three 1.8 km pipelines – will require crews to work extended hours.

“What we’re seeking is to allow Saturday blasting and night blasting,” Watson said at a council meeting Tuesday night. “We’re looking to also work 24/7, essentially 24 hours a day, seven days a week.” The city’s public nuisance bylaw restricts blasting on Saturday and at night and limits construction work hours. Watson said BC Hydro, through the winning project team (expected to be announced in late

Kim’s Acupuncture & 2X2 Acupressure TONY KIMClinic 28 Years Experience

Japan • Korea • Canada

summer) can work on mitigating options such as only doing underground blasting at night and limiting the amount of work t r u c k s t r ave l l i n g through the area at nighttime. Watson said the tunnel will be between 40 and 90 metres underground so nearby residents shouldn’t feel any impacts from the blasting. “It is well below the surface,” Watson said. “I’m not sure if it will be drilling, a boring machine, or if it will be controlled blasting. We don’t want to have any ground vibrations, so people won’t feel the blasts – it’s all underground except for some minor works on the surface.” The project also

involves constructing a new, earthquakeproof generating station beside the existing one. Watson said blasting and excavation is needed to construct the base for the new generating station but the isolated location and number of trees should keep noise levels at bay. The closest residence to the construction site is approximately 1.4 kilometres away along the Quinsam River but Watson noted a diesel truck travelling 65 kilometres on the highway just 15 metres away emits a sound recording of 84 decibels. Watson said construction on the generating station is not expected to exceed 80

decibels and it would be further away than the truck on the highway. The closest residence to the north of the construction site is 2.1 kilometres away. Coun. Ron Kerr was concerned that residents may still have complaints. “As you know it’s not always the decibel level that’s the factor, it can be the constancy or the frequency,” Kerr said. “Do you have any idea of the frequency?” Watson replied that the noise would not be constant. “It’s a construction site so the sounds will change,” he said. “I think what’s happened in our favour is the distance from the residences. It’s quite

a significant distance and there’s trees.” Watson also pointed out that blasting and excavating would not be ongoing throughout the entire five-year project but during the two-year tunnel construction phase. Watson said Thursday morning that “BC Hydro is currently working with city staff to provide additional information so that city council can make an infor med decision on the bylaw variances” to allow for extended blasting hours. The project is currently in the preliminary stages but BC Hydro hopes to have the first replacement generating unit in service by 2017. The winning project team is

expected to be revealed in late summer and an open house will follow in the fall as an opportunity for businesses to meet the contractor. Construction could begin shortly after. Site pre paration work got underway earlier this month with tree removals for the new parking lot off Woodstave Road, just off Brewster Lake Road near Highway 28. Hydro will construct an access road, 80-spot parking lot and trail to provide public access into the Elk Falls Provincial Park. These new public access works into the park will be in place for the up to three-year road closure to Brewster Lake Road, which may begin as early as this fall.

Power down for Earth Hour Let’s join the world Saturday, March 23 and switch off our lights for Earth Hour. Starting at 8:30 p.m., people around the globe will turn off their lights for 60 minutes to reduce green house gas emissions from electricity generation and create awareness about global warming. Last year, Campbell River lowered its energy consumption by 2.46 per cent during Earth Hour, and Sayward lowered its usage by 2.39 per cent. B.C.’s overall electricity load dropped by 1.67 per cent. Revelstoke had the highest reduction in B.C. at 12. 1 per cent. Earth Hour is an annual global event hosted by the World Wildlife Fund and supported by BC Hydro.

The goal of this event is to encourage individuals to tur n off unnecessary lights and electronics in an effort to conserve power. The initiative that began in Sydney, Australia on Mar. 31, 2007 when more than two million residents turned off non-essential lights for one hour. Every year this environmental movement continues to grow, with more than 130 countries participating last year. “In Campbell River 23 per cent of our greenhouse gas emissions are produced from buildings, and one of the key targets outlined in the Community Energy and Emissions Plan is to increase home energy efficiency,” says Coun. Larry Samson. “We

can conserve energy by retrofitting our homes for greater energy efficiency and taking simple steps to change our habits – like switching off the lights when we don’t need them on.” On March 23, the city will have a booth set up at the Community Centre for the Walk Away From Racism event from 10:30 a.m.1:30 p.m. to learn about Earth Hour. M a ny B C H yd ro account holders can track their energy use through “MyHydro” – an online tool at www. bchydro.com/myhydro – and compare their electricity use on the Saturday prior to Earth Hour with their actual use during Earth Hour. The new tool provides timely information on household electricity consumption.

Drinking becomes public’s problem 25-year-old jailed for another three months after another run-in with cops PAUL RUDAN

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Crystal Hackett’s drinking problem often lands her in jail and it’s also causing trouble for others. “From a public’s perspective, this has to be dealt with,” said Crown prosecutor Adrienne

Venturini. When Hackett drinks heavily, Venturini pointed out, violence sometimes ensues and police are often called to deal with her. “Ms. Hackett is no stranger to the court and one of her biggest issues is substance abuse…it’s a lifelong

problem she has not fully addressed,” Venturini told the judge on March 11 in Campbell River provincial court. Hackett, 25, appeared by video from cells in Maple Ridge. She’s been there since Feb. 15, when she was picked up for public drunkenness and possession of a small amount of marijuana, both violations of her probation order. Hackett was placed on probation last October. Then on Dec. 8,

2013, police were called to deal with a drunken Hackett who had just thrown a large rock through a friend’s picture window. The first Mountie to arrive at the scene, near 9th Avenue and Dogwood Street, had his hands full as Hackett resisted arrest. This led to a scuffle and both went to the ground with the officer suffering some cuts and a shoulder injury. F i n a l l y, a n o t h e r officer arrived and assisted in handcuff-

ing Hackett. At last week’s court appearance, Hackett pleaded guilty to obstruction of a peace officer, possession of a controlled substance, and three counts of breaching court orders. Charges of assaulting a peace officer, mischief to property over $5,000 and four more breaches were dropped by the Crown in exchange for the guilty pleas. Ve n t u r i n i a s ke d Judge Parker MacCarthy to impose a six-month jail sen-

tence, but defence lawyer Doug Marion disagreed. He said imposing longer and longer jail sentences won’t help Hackett’s substance abuse problems. He also didn’t want the judge to impose a probation order because Hackett is likely to breach and wind up back in jail. Judge MacCarthy then stepped in and asked Hackett, “Do you think you have an alcohol problem?” The mother of two

children – both under care by the Ministry of Children and Families – said she wants to take treatment, but she also had several excuses which didn’t go over well. “The way you’re portraying this is everyone’s fault but you. I haven’t heard that you’re helping yourself,” the judge said. In the end, Judge MacCarthy sentenced Hackett to 100 days behind bars and two years probation.

He ain’t going back to rehab, no, no, no PAUL RUDAN

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The late Amy Winehouse sang about not wanting to go to rehab and that just might be the theme song for Daniel Walkus. On Jan. 21, the Campbell River man received an eight-month conditional sentence and four months probation. The one main stipulation was that Walkus enter straight into a residential treatment program for alcohol misuse. That entailed Walkus

being released from cells in Victoria and taking a bus straight to the treatment centre in Nanaimo. But Walkus got off the bus in Duncan and never showed up for treatment on Jan. 22. The same day, the Nanaimo probation office received a call from authorities in Duncan infor ming them that Walkus was locked up in police cells after being arrested for public drunkenness. After being ke pt in jail until Feb. 18, Walkus pleaded guilty to breach of his con-

ditional sentence and was given another opportunity to go to rehab. He didn’t. This time the excuse was a domestic dispute with his girlfriend. Walkus was apparently headed for the

bus depot when he was informed the girlfriend was done with him and was presently chucking out all his stuff from the residence they shared. So Walkus turned around to deal with

that and never showed for treatment. He was arrested March 11 on a warrant and held in custody until Monday’s appearance in Campbell River provincial court. “Mr. Walkus feels he

has more important matters to deal with from his point of view,” said Judge Parker MacCarthy. The court heard that Walkus has a significant criminal record and Judge MacCarthy

said the only way to get his attention is through more jail time. As a result, Walkus was ordered to serve out the remainder of his conditional sentence behind bars instead of at home.

Dinner and dance to mark Cancer Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 75th anniversary

Local actor and educator Brian Down brings his story-telling talents to the stage of the Baptist Church as he presents the events of the Last Supper.

Walk through the Last Supper with Brian Down O

n the night before Jesus was crucified, he sat down for one last meal with his disciples. The events of that Last Supper would be portrayed in paintings, plays and songs for the next 2,000 years. What was said?

What was done? Why was it so important? Brian Down brings his story-telling to the stage of the Baptist Church as he presents, A Walk Through The Last Supper. Through demonstrations and eye-witness accounts, you will watch the evening unfold through the

structure of a traditional Jewish Passover meal. You will see how the traditions of Passover were full of prophecies that pointed toward Jesus and how Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; celebration of Passover that night established Christian practices that carry on to this day.

If you have never thought about that importance of the Last Supper, this presentation could change your understanding of Easter forever. A Walk Through The Last Supper will be presented Sunday, at 7 p.m. at the Campbell River Baptist Church.

April 2013 marks the 75th Anniverary of the Canadian Cancer Society and the local chapter is marking the occasion with a dinner and dance, trivia competition and a silent auction April 6. In September cancer society volunteers planted over 750 daffodil bulbs along the Jubilee Parkway Trail and another 75 in the memorial garden at Rotary Park and then a number of society members also planted 75 bulbs in their own gardens so come April there will be daffodils everywhere. They are now up about three inches, already. Meanwhile, the society needed to do something extra special for this year so they are planning a dinner and dance for April 6 to help celebrate 75 years. It will include a prevention trivia to promote their prevention information and a silent auction. All funds raised will go to support research, prevention education and support programs locally, financial support, information and rides for those that need it. The dinner and dance for their 75th Anniversary Celebration will be a catered roast beef buffet dinner at the Ealges Hall, a prevention trivia, silent auction followed by dancing from 9-1 to music by The

A couple is $55 and a table of eight is $200. Funds raised go to support research and local support services. It was 75 years ago on March 28th that a bunch of volunteers in Ontario got together to raise money to improve the lives of those diagnosed with cancer. Later, April was declared cancer awareness month and the daffodil because it is such a bright cheery spring flower was declared their emblem. They have now gone from less than 20 per cent survival rate to more than 85 per cent for some. They still have more than 220,000 volunteers across Canada working together to raise money for cancer research, prevention education, and support programs. The society spends over 60 per cent of funds raised on research to find a cure and to improve treatments. This month they are opening a new lodge in Prince George so those diagnosed with cancer in the north can stay there instead of traveling to Kelowna or Vancouver for treatment. The society also has wigs, scarves prothesis and lots of good credible information.

The recipe of your life Writing a memoir – a true story drawn from one’s own life – is like making lasagna. Everybody has a different way of doing it, but if the recipe contains a few essential ingredients, it usually turns out pretty well. The Museum at Campbell River is offering a unique opportunity on Sunday, March 24, from 1-3 p.m., to attend a seminar with Charlotte Gill, the Haig-Brown Writer-inResidence. Entitled ‘In the First Person – The Art of Personal Narrative’ this two-hour seminar will cover the fundamentals of personal narrative. The discussion begins with the question: what is memoir? From that question, the basic essential ingredients for telling fact-based stories in the first person will be covered. Participants will be shown how to dip into the creative writer’s toolbox to look at useful story elements such as point of view, character and the scene. Lastly, Charlotte will touch on how to design and plan your narrative, leaving lots of time for Q&A. Gill’s tree-planting book ‘Eating Dirt’ was nominated for the Hilary Weston Writers’ Trust

Writer-in-residence Charlotte Gill conducts a memoir-writing workshop on Sunday.

Prize, the Charles Taylor Prize, and two B.C. Book Prizes. It won the 2012 B.C. National Award for Canadian Non-Fiction. Her previous book, Ladykiller, was a finalist for the Governor General’s Literary Award and winner of the B.C. Book Prize for fiction. Her work has appeared in Best Canadian Stories, The Journey Prize Stories, and many magazines. Gill teaches creative writing at UBC and the Banff Centre. The cost for the workshop is $20. Call the Museum at 250-287-3103 to register.

t s i t n e D e h t k 3X5 As Question: At what age should children ﬁrst see a dentist?

Answer: The Canadian Dental Association

recommends the first visit to a dentist before your child’s first birthday. The general rule is six months after the eruption of the first tooth. The reasoning is to catch any issues in their earliest stages. It also helps to educate parents on tooth Dr. Kevin Lathangue decay, how to clean your child’s teeth, what to put into a sippy cup and how much toothpaste to apply to the toothbrush. The major tenet here is to start your child off with a lifetime of good oral care habits as well as to acclimate him/her to the dental office which, ultimately, will reduce fear and anxiety. Don’t be surprised or upset if your child is fussy or non-cooperative - this is a very common scenario and can be gradually addressed with short successive visits designed to instill trust and familiarity with both the dentist as well as staff and environment. Children tend to exhibit a greater sense of comfort when they are exposed to familiar environments and familiar people so dental visits which, at first, appear to be rather traumatic can, over time, become increasingly comfortable for all involved.

Documentary takes aim at salmon farming PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Documentary filmmaker Twyla Roscovich was raised in Campbell River.

Documentary filmmaker Twyla Roscovich is looking forward to a controversial home coming. Her latest project, Salmon Confidential, has just been released and takes a highly critical look the B.C. salmon farming industry. “I’m looking forward to the Campbell River screening. I’m sure it will be interesting,” she says. She chuckles at her own understatement because Roscovich knows all too well the hub of the B.C. salmon farming industry is based in

“

THEY SAID IT: “We’re hoping this does become an election issue.”

– Filmmaker Twyla Roscovich

Campbell River. She grew up here too, graduated from Carihi secondary in 1996, and immediately went out and started filming killer whales for the BBC. Later, she got to know Alexandra Morton, a biologist and activist who supports wild salmon and condemns salmon farming in coastal waters. “She has a huge

knowledge of fish and she’s dialed in to what’s going on,” says Roscovich, during a phone interview Monday. The new 70-minute documentary follows Morton’s 2012 investigation of wild salmon deaths which she attributes to European viruses associated with salmon farming. Roscovich is the one-woman film crew who follows Morton’s trips to court, remote rivers, government offices, Vancouver grocery stores and sushi restaurants. “The film documents Morton’s journey as she attempts to overcome government and industry roadblocks thrown in her path

and works to bring critical information to the public in time to save BC’s wild salmon,” reads a news release from the website salmonaresacred. org. The timing of the documentary’s release also coincides with the upcoming provincial election on May 13. “We’re hoping this does become an election issue,” says Roscovich. You can watch the film online at salmonconfidential.ca and it’s due to be screened in Campbell River sometime in mid-April at the Timberline Secondary theatre. The date still needs to be confirmed.

The latest battle to protect Vancouver Island’s forests isn’t being waged by an environmental organization...it’s being waged by business: In particular, the tourism industry. A coalition of tourism businesses in

the Discovery Islands, near Campbell River are charging the government with indifference to the needs of a major economic player in the region. The Discovery Islands Marine Tourism Group is a coalition of businesses including the local Chamber of Commerce, which claims provincial forest policies designed by the BC Liberal gov-

ernment are encouraging the forest industry to clear cut forests along marine corridors which are critical to the survival of a large wilderness based tourism industry. The group went public with its concerns by publishing a full page ad in the Victoria Times Colonist criticizing the government for its inaction. Spokesperson Ralph Keller says

the group wanted to send a strong message to gover nment that forest management polices aren’t working for Discovery Islands business, employees and their families. “We’ve spent a lot of

time and money trying to convince the government there’s a serious problem here but they’re not listening.” The Discovery Islands are home to over 120 tourismdependent businesses:

2X6

lodges, resorts, motels, campgrounds, marinas, tour companies, and related operations which employ over 1,200 people and generate 45 million dollars in revenue every year. “T he Discovery

Islands have become a world class destination worthy of increased protection.” Keller said. He went on to say that tourism operators are kept completely in the dark about cutting plans.

Campbell River Living Epilepsy awareness goes global on Purple Day March 26 D id you know that there are approximately 40,000 people in BC and 400,000 of people in Canada with epilepsy? Though this number may seem small, this means that epilepsy is more common than Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, and Cerebral Palsy combined. Epilepsy Awareness Month happens in March of each year in Canada. March is also the month in which Purple Day occurs. This is on Tuesday (March 26) and is a global day for epilepsy awareness. Epilepsy is a medical condition that causes a person to have recurring seizures. Epileptic seizures are caused by excessive discharges of electrical impulses in the brain. There are more than 20 different types of seizures. Seizures can be convulsive or nonconvulsive. For example, partial seizures may involve the person being in a trancelike state, experiencing altered sensations, having uncontrolled movements, or being unable to speak. Generalized seizures, such as tonicclonic seizures (previously called grand mal) cause loss of consciousness and shaking of the entire body. Anyone can develop epilepsy at any age. In the majority of cases,

the cause is unknown. As well, in most situations the condition is not outgrown. There is no cure and approximately 30 per cent of people with epilepsy do not have their seizures controlled by medication. The severity of epilepsy can vary. Some people can have as many as hundreds of seizures a day while others may have only one every few years. Some people with epilepsy may face discrimination, unnecessary restrictions, or exclusion from work or school activities. For children with epilepsy the fear of bullying or social isolation can be the one of the most difficult issues they face. “Some people with epilepsy can become isolated and as such they do not receive the supports that they need,” states Elvira Balakshin, Program and Communications Coordinator of the BC Epilepsy Society. “The public can help people with epilepsy by learning proper seizure first aid, how to recognize seizures, and basic facts about epilepsy. “If you know or meet someone with epilepsy or a parent of a child with epilepsy, ask them how you can help – everyone with epilepsy is unique.” More information about epilepsy and the BC Epilepsy Society is available on www. bcepilepsy.com

Spring brings 50+ Active Living fundraisers Just around the corner, City of Campbell River Recreation and Culture 50+ Active Living Programs will host the annual Plant and Jumble Sale. With plants, seeds, herbs, bulbs, gardening magazines and treasures rummaged from closets and garages, gardeners and bargain-seekers will be there Saturday, April 20 at the Community Centre, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Donations of plants, second-hand treasures and new and nearly-new silent auction items will be received April 15-19 at the Community Centre.

The BC Epilepsy Society is a non-profit, charitable organization established in 1959. It provides education, advocacy, and support to people with epilepsy and their families.

Hannah Taylor (centre), a Campbell River teenager with epilepsy, is joined by her friends Quinn Flick (left) and Alex Mason in asking everyone to wear purple on Purple Day, a world-wide event being held on Tuesday to raise awareness of epilepsy.

Jeanette Taylor and Marcy Prior will prove that point with a slide presentation on March 28 at 7 p.m. at CR Art Gallery.

It’s tea time! Calling all expats! In England, during the 1840’s, afternoon tea was a common tradition amongst the wealthiest of classes. The after noon tea was a small, social meal held in the late afternoon. This traditional meal consisted of loose brewed tea and was accompanied by finger sandwiches, scones, clotted cream, jam, small cakes and pastries. This tradition is still alive and well in the UK. The North Vancouver Island also has a significant popula-

tion of English expats that still practice such tradition today in their households in Canada. On Thursday March 28, the Campbell River Immigrant Welcome Centre is hosting a traditional style Expatriate Tea Party. The tea party starts at 4 p.m. at the Robron Centre and includes tea and snacks and great discussion. So whether you are from the UK, the US, New Zealand or Australia or anywhere else you’re invited to the first ever Expatri-

ate Tea Party. Fo r m o r e i n f o rmation, please contact info@ImmigrantWelcome.ca or 250.830.0171.

From left, Brad (Campbell River Hospital emergency room) and Stacey Marsh of the Campbell River Hospital Foundation are pleased to accept a $20,000 cheque from Matt Bruining, branch manager of RBC Royal Bank, in the hospital’s emergency room last week.

Bank bucks up to tune of $20,000 The RBC Foundation recently made a charitable donation to the Campbell River Hospital Foundation – $20,000 to support the purchase of electrosurgical equipment for the Endoscopy Department and MUSE System. The MUSE System is an electronic ECG filing system that will give physicians immediate access to patient information. ECGs are one of the few exams that are not available on a patient’s electronic chart. For example, with MUSE, electronic access will allow an ICU or emergency room physician immediate access to information which can

assist in determining a patient’s immediate medical needs. RBC Branch Manager, Matthijs Bruining said the cause is important to the institution. “Strong communities are part of the building blocks to a better future,” Bruining said. “At RBC we donate so people and organizations dedicated to health, the environment, sports and the arts can do better. Our commitment to CRHF (Campbell River Hospital Foundation) over the past many years is a reflection of that commitment. The partnership, dedication, and efforts by CRHF have been para-

mount to the continued support by RBC.” RBC believes in the power of communities and the people who live in them. By fostering employee engagement and good corporate citizenship RBC has created a culture of giving and pride in the communities that they live and do business in. “The RBC Foundation has continued to show its commitment to our hospital and community, they have given more than $102,000 since 2005 and directly suppor ted seven departments of our hospital,” says Stacey Marsh, executive director of the Campbell River Hospi-

tal Foundation. “The support for health care begins locally with RBC. Our local branch has shown their dedication as well, with donations surpassing $15,000 since 1994. The RBC Foundation and our local staff understand that healthcare is about giving and we are extremely grateful for their support and partnership.” RBC is one of Canada’s largest corporate donors, with a tradition of philanthropy dating back to 1891. The RBC Foundation is one of Canada’s leading corporate donors, “investing” more than $56 million into charities across Canada last year in 2011.

The family is grateful to Dr.Hinds and all the staff of Evergreen Seniors Home for all the loving care provided Dad in his last days. Those wishing donations may be made in Dad's memory to the Heart & Stroke Foundation.

Then you’ve seen a picture of me without you Have you walked in a garden where nothing was growing? Or sit by a river where nothing was ﬂowing If you’ve seen a red rose unkissed by the dew The you’ve seen a picture of me without you Can you picture heaven with no angels singing? Or a quiet Sunday morning with no church bells ringing If you’ve watched as a heart of a child breaks in two Then you’ve seen a picture of me without you. “Love forever-until we are together again”

Conference to help you get a grip on this religion thing You don’t have to go far in your everyday life to be confronted with someone’s religion or faith. Every night on the news, or during talk shows, world religions and faiths play a major role in how people make their decisions for both good or bad. Do you find your self wondering how you fit in to all this? Perhaps you believe in a god somewhere, but haven’t found a particular style that suits you. Or maybe the idea of evil and how people use their religion to oppress others repels you from them. The idea of a faith appeals to you, but the way people use it doesn’t. Maybe you remember going to church as a child, hearing great stories and enjoyed the people that were there – but you can’t quite remember what it was really about. You know you believe in God, but how does this Jesus person fit in? And if this God is really so full of love, why do so many people suffer? These thoughts and questions are extremely common, and are

important. That is why the Campbell River Baptist Church is designing a weekend where people of faith or those who are just curious can drop in, and have an opportunity to hear from some of Canada’s finest minds on these topics. The purpose is to encourage those who want to learn more about what Christians claim to be the truth, and answer any of those personal nagging questions that you have been carrying around in the back of your head. This is a rare opportunity to sit down with renowned theologians and scholars, who spend much of their time wrestling with the same questions you may have. The conference is set for May 3-5, at the Baptist church on Dogwood St. There is a fee. Friday May 3 is specifically designed for the youth and young adults – with a special guest band, Kiros, headlining the evening. You will find more information on their website at crbaptist. bc.ca.

Time to set the table The Rotary Club of Campbell River (the noon group) has come to the aid of the Campbell River Adult Care Society. Rotary President Todd Peachey (pictured at left) hands over a cheque for $650 to Society clients Greta Nelson and Jack Fowler and Nurse Administrator Pam Mann. The money will be used to purchase new silverware and tablecloths for their busy activity area, which seats approximately 100 people. The Campbell River & District Adult Care Society is a registered charitable, non-profit society established in 1980 that provides a variety of programs to assist adults and seniors who require supportive care due to long-term health related problems. The program focuses on maintaining or restoring each person to an optimal level of health while enabling caregivers to care for loved ones at home. This program focuses on nutritional, physical, emotional, and psychological needs by providing them various activities throughout the day.

Strathcona Gardens gets money for Parks and Rec. helps you plan new lighting from federal program now for Spring Break fun Strathcona Gardens Recreation Complex is receiving some funds from the Harper Gover nment’s Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF). “By improving facilities such as this, we are helping to boost economic activity while improving local infrastructure,” said Vancouver Island MP john Duncan. “With today’s investment, our Government is demonstrating our commitment to creating jobs, growth and long-term economic prosperity.” The Harper Government’s investment of $37,003 in federal funding will enhance the services provided by the Strathcona Gardens Recreation Complex. With the funding provided today, the fire alarm panel and overhead pool lighting will be replaced. These improvements will

allow the facility to continue to house social gatherings and sporting events safely. “The Regional District is grateful for the funding provided by the Government of Canada for this much needed project,” said Ted Lewis, Regional Board Chair. “Strathcona Gardens is a focal point for recreational activity in the Campbell River area.” Andy Adams, Chair of the Strathcona Gardens Commission echoed these sentiments, “We would like to thank MP Duncan and Minister Yelich for the support shown for this project which will ensure that we can both continue to provide a safe, healthy facility for our clients and staff, and improve the ongoing operating expenses through installation of energy efficient lighting.” In Economic Action Plan 2012, the Harper Government

announced further support to help communities across the country modernize their infrastructure. The government committed $150 million over two years for the Fund. The Fund supports projects that look to improve existing community infrastructure accessible for use by the public, such as community centres, recreational buildings, local arenas, cultural and other community facilities. Since 2006, the Harper Government, through WD, has invested in job-creating smalland mediumsized businesses, aerospace, marine and defence industries, and supported innovative entrepreneurs in pursuing emerging markets. By continuing to promote new economic opportunities, WD is helping to create jobs, economic growth, and longterm prosperity.

Spring Break is fast approaching. Looking for something for the kids to do? The City of Campbell River Recreation Department has a full offering of programs for children and youth in Kindergarten to Grade 8. There is a wide variety of programs including art, sports, photography, sewing, outdoor adventure and technology. Halfday spring break programs can be combined to create a full-day program if desired, with free lunch supervision for those who choose this option. “The half-day programs allow kids and

parents to have a bit of flexibility when planning for the break,” says youth programmer Kevin Elmore. “It also mixes up the activities for more variety in their days during the break from school.” For a detailed list of the programs offered, check out the online

BC SPCA spay/neuter grants help groups combat cat overpopulation Campbell River is one of 15 municipalities or non-profit organizations have been announced as recipients of the new BC SPCA Community Cat Spay/Neuter Grant Program. The program, funded in part by an SPCA donor who was concerned about the cat overpopulation crisis in B.C., will provide up to 1,000 operations and prevent 5,000 kitten births this year in B.C. communities. “Feral cats are of

particular concer n on Vancouver Island where colonies have grown as a result of pet abandonment,” says Amy Morris, officer of policy and outreach for the BC SPCA. She notes that nine of the grants have been awarded to Vancouver Island communities to help prevent further reproduction. Across the province, $60,000 has been distributed to fund trapneuter-retur n programs for feral cats and to provide low-income

cat guardians with access to reduced-cost sterilization procedures for their pets. The Campbell River SPCA, Sayward Abandoned Cat Rescue Society, Quadra Feral Cat Group and the Village of Gold River are local organizations receiving funding. Eligibility for funding was determined by evidence of a community problem with homeless and unwanted cats, the ability to match funds within the community and the participation

They’re off...Locals vie to be Amazing Race contestants KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Rebecca Wells and Carmen Zmaeff are fourth-year Campbell River nursing students hoping to see Canada and going on an adventure.

hen the first ever edition of the Amazing Race Canada takes off, nine Campbell Riverites hope to hear the starting gun. Five local groups of two are vying against thousands of Canadians for a coveted spot on CTV’s take on the hit series which sends contestants around the world in search of clues and challenges steeped in culture. Canada’s Amazing Race will be the 12th international version to launch outside of the United States joining Asia, Australia, Brazil, China, France, Israel, Latin America, Norway, Philippines, Ukraine and Vietnam. The Amazing Race Canada is expected to film in May and will take contestants 9,000 kilometres across Canada. The show is slated to premiere this summer on CTV. Meet the Campbell River teams who have submitted audition tapes and hope to race

around the country on the first Amazing Race Canada. Lindsey Boulter and Gord Firth The stepfather/ stepdaughter team say their problemsolving skills would be an asset on the race. That, plus the fact Firth knows everything. “Papa’s like a human dictionary, atlas-type of person,” Boulter says. “Like the person who answers everything on Jeopardy. He remembers everything.” Firth interjects. “Except one time we went to trivia night at (his granddaughters’) school and I couldn’t get anything because it was all about movies and stuff like that,” he says. “See, and I could do that!” Boulter exclaims. Firth, who recently retired, says he and his stepdaughter come at things from different angles, a quality that could help them on the race. But they don’t have any illusions – they know what kind of

team they would be. “A bickering one,” Boulter says with a laugh. “We’re not the type to really fight but we bicker back and forth and bounce ideas back and forth. I think we’d be good at taking each other’s suggestions though.” Matt and Ryan DelBlanc The 29-year-old brothers not only share the same DNA, but the same profession. The twin pastors say the race would help bring them back together – Matt lives in Campbell River while Ryan is going to school in Calgary. They’re also huge fans of the Amazing Race. When the brothers both lived in Surrey, they would organize mini Amazing Races across the Lower Mainland with their youth groups. “We used to slaughter the competition,” Matt says. “We’re super competitive.” The identical twins hope their matching looks and matching jobs will secure them

a spot on the show. “We’re hoping to play the twin card and both of us are pastors so we thought that would make us unique,” says Matt, who is the pastor of Gateway Foursquare Church. “But we also want to show that Christians don’t have to be lame and not competitive. We’ve talked about ‘let’s be competitive but let’s not be jerks.’ I think we could do both.” The one thing Matt says will be difficult if he is chosen, will be having to leave his wife and 17-month-old daughter for 28 days. “It would be hard,” he says. “My wife says if we get chosen we better win! “We’re kinda antsy to know (if we’ll be chosen), but we think it would be fun to represent the West Coast and see the country,” Matt says. “It would be cool to say we’re from Campbell River and it would be a great chance to let other people know that Campbell River exists.” Continued on A31

Amazing Race: Fans sign up for Canadian version after meeting in the nursing program which they will be finishing two months from now. “Our aunts had been best friends and we had heard through them for years that we would get along but we had never met and then (Carmen) was in the nursing program and we hit it off,” Wells says.

Leslie Hanes and April Whalen The lively, upbeat business women hope to become the first employer/employee team to run the Amazing Race. Hanes, owner of Curves and Discovery Trekking Outfitters, says she was enticed into applying by Whalen, marketing manager for Discovery Trekking. “April tries to talk me into all sorts of crazy things,” says Hanes who agreed to do the race to prove to herself that she could do it. “I’m in good physical shape but it would be a good challenge and I thought the publicity for my company would be good.” “And to see if she wouldn’t fire me after spending that much time together,” Whalen pipes up. It’s also a chance at redemption for Whalen. In 2007 she was on Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? Canada, hosted by Colin Mochrie. Despite her mother passing away the night before, Whalen made it to the $100,000 question but lost when she went with the student’s incorrect answer. Whalen walked away with $25,000 but she wants another shot at reality TV. And she turns 40 this year. “If I get on the Amazing Race Canada I will be greedy,” Whalen says. “I’ll be taking people out with slingshots. I’ll be packing heat.”

Leslie Hanes and April Whalen are lively, upbeat business women hoping to become the first employer/ employee team to run the Amazing Race.

The pair believes their travel experience would help them. Hanes has travelled around the world including India, Korea, Greece, and Israel but hasn’t ventured east of Alberta while Whalen has lived in six Canadian provinces and given birth in a seventh. One way or another, Whalen is determined to run the Amazing Race Canada. “If we don’t get picked and they do a season two I already know what I’m doing and it will be over the top,” Whalen says. “So they better pick us now and get it out of the way or else Leslie will get hurt in the season two audition tape.” Rebecca Wells and Carmen Zmaeff The fourth-year Campbell River nursing students hope

to see Canada and are always up for an adventure. “I love to travel and Carmen one day texted me and asked if I wanted to try out for the Amazing Race,” says Wells, 24, who jumped at the chance. Zmaeff says both girls are easy going and would be the team on the race just having fun. Zmaeff, 25, is also a big fan of the show. “I watched the first two seasons fairly regularly over the past few years and I’ve picked it up here and there but I really like the show,” Zmaeff says. “I think it’s the best reality show on TV. I just thought of all the reality shows I could be on, it would be the race.” The outdoorsy young women, who love to hike, ski, swim and shoot, have been friends for two years

Aren Knudsen and Shelley McKay The Campbell River moms and business women are always up for adventure. “I can phone you up at anytime and you’ll just drop what you’re doing and we can go hunting, or quading or boating, you know we’re always up for adventure,” Knudsen says in the pair’s audi-

FOR THE

Drive Smart BC Justifying Our Misbehaviour Tonight’s six o’clock news contained a story about how police had issued over 5,500 tickets for using electronic devices while driving offences across the province in February 2013. More than 100 more were ticketed for driving without due care and attention. It means to me that lots of drivers aren’t obeying the law and more than 100 were caught doing something dangerous because of it. The reporter interviewed a couple of the drivers receiving tickets and they both had rationalizations for their actions. They both also knew that what they were doing was wrong. Why do we justify our misbehaviour when we get behind the wheel? Since we all pay for one’s mistakes you can’t even say that you are only taking the risk on yourself. I’ve listened to many explanations for committing a violation, both at the side of the road and in traffic court. If it wasn’t an offence like “Haven’t you got anything better to do? Why aren’t you out catching (insert your favorite crime here)?” it was a defence like “No one else was around.” The courts often heard “I don’t deserve this, everyone else was doing it, the officer is picking on me” and other statements in the same vein. I don’t like to admit that I am wrong either, but we do have to take ownership of our driving practices and stop justifying our misbehaviour. Even when it is inconvenient we need to do what is right rather than what is expedient. It’s probably the best way to keep the highways safer for all of us.

Knudsen, who works for Cunningham Rivard Appraisers, and McKay who is with Coast Realty Group, met three years ago and know they would be the perfect partners for the race. “I know if I get down at all, you’re going to make us laugh and keep it positive,” Knudsen says.

Yeeaah! Campbell River Tyee Grady Robertson celebrates his game-tying goal against Saanich last Saturday during the Mainstream Biological Peewee B Tyee tournament at Rod Brind’Amour Arena. The Tyees skated to a 5-5 tie with Saanich.

Eight athletes from the Mount Washington Freestyle Club qualified for the Junior National Freestyle Championships held at Apex Mountain last weekend. Skiers from all over the country turned up to see how well they measured up in four different competitions: slope style, moguls, big air, and dual moguls. Three Island athletes qualified for all four events: Teal Harle (Mt. Washington), Mei Pond (Nanaimo), and Todd Heard (Duncan). Podium of Life student Harle, 16, stood on the podium a couple of times. In the first event, slopestyle, Harle won a bronze medal amidst a strong field. His run, which included sick tricks on rails combined with three big jumps where he spun hard, was enough to sneak by fourth place into third. The second day of competition was moguls where Harle’s first run earned him ninth place; he wiped out on the second run.The third day of

Podium of Life student, Teal Harle, silver in big air and bronze in slope style at the Junior National Freestyle Championships in Apex. competition was very exciting, as athletes threw huge tricks off a massive jump. Harle stomped his first hit, switch bio nine grab. His second jump he over-spun a switch bio 1080. But his first jump was good enough to earn him a silver. Erin Sketchley of Campbell River, another Podium of Life student, hit the big air jump with a huge double spread and finished seventh, just behind her teammate, Han-

nah Benischek. Layne Anvelt finished in the top 20 in both the big air and slope style competitions. Peter Stubbs narrowly missed out on a podium finish in moguls. His fantastic run earned him a fourth place finish. Unfortunately, Todd Heard, one of the most dominant B.C. skiers, watched as he nursed an injury. These skiers are off next week to Silverstar to compete in the last of the B.C. series.

Redneck Rhinos lock horns The Campbell River Novice Redneck Rhinos travelled to Victoria last weekend to attend the Racquet Club Tournament. The Rhinos, which are made up of nearly all first year players, won its first three

games the Rhinos played. The Redneck Rhinos’ stellar play through the round-robin portion of the tournament earned the team a berth in the gold medal final Sunday morning against the

team from Cowichan Valley. The Rhinos fought hard and came back from a two-goal deficit against Cowichan Valley. After 60 minutes, the game was still deadlocked at four goals a

piece. A five minute overtime was forced to break the tie. The Redneck Rhinos were determined but just could not find the back of the net and the overtime period solved nothing.

Emotions ran high for all heading into a best of three shootout. The Rhinos dug deep and and won the shootout to come out on top and win the game (and Victoria tournament) 5-4.

Campbell River’s novice Rhino hockey team celebrates its gold medal win.

Campbell River Athletic Association’s Nolan Young, 12, has arrived home from a solid performance in Young Canada Rugby’s U13/U14 Tour to Bermuda. The roster of 23 athletes from both east and west of the country were split into two U13 squads and one U14. Young scored the first try for his U13 team against Warwick Academy of Hamilton, Bermuda in the U13 teams’ opening win. The team went on to a record of 2-1-1 in 7-aside rugby facing other school and representative sides from the Caribbean country. All three Canadian squads faced much bigger opponents but capitalized on speed, decision making and assisted tackles to succeed against the Bermudians. Rugby Canada’s representative of North America and Caribbean Rugby Association, Rick Bourne, organized the tour to promote youth rugby development, goodwill, and camaraderie in the two nations and plans are in the works to continue the format and include more member countries next year. “Nolan received the crash course on the unique joys of rugby
