‘Return to the Dark Ages of animal welfare’ Emotional fallout from SPCA decision to leave Campbell River KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

PAUL RUDAN/THE MIRROR

Brush clearing gets out of hand A firefighter douses a brush fire on Quinsam Road Monday afternoon. Firefighters were called to the scene to extinguish a prescribed burn that got out of control. See story on page A5.

Heartbroken SPCA volunteers say the city’s decision to award animal control services to another company has forced the community back into the dark ages. Sheila Keats and her husband Gary volunteered as dog walkers for the SPCA for more than nine years, and she’s devastated the city doesn’t see animal welfare as a priority. “An essential service to our community is no more,” Keats says. “It’s up there with police, ambulance and fire as far as I’m concerned. Animal welfare is up there. “It’s a sad day for the SPCA and a return to the dark ages of animal welfare, it is a step backwards. It’s hard to find any joy in all of this, it’s hard to make peace with this. It’s a shock and it’s hard to accept.” The SPCA notified the community via a letter on its website on Wednesday afternoon that it would be ceasing its operations in Campbell River after 30 years

of providing protection for animals. That decision is already having a far-reaching effect on the community. The SPCA had been partnering with the Campbell River and District Association for Community Living. Through the Hand-to-Paw buddy program, special needs clients formed strong bonds with the shelter dogs which helped them to open up and taught them how to brush, walk, and interact with dogs. Nicky Good, a volunteer dog walker with the SPCA for three years, said it’s a blow to the clients to lose that program. “That Hand-to-Paw – it made their day,” Good says. “And now all of that is gone.” Also gone is the SPCA’s Bite Free program, taught by Judy Hagen and her dog Maggi, which demonstrated to daycare and school children the proper way to approach a dog and avoid being bit by an aggressive dog. Then there’s the SPCA’s spay and neuter program which helped control the community’s feral cat Continued on A2

SPCA: Pound will hold unclaimed dogs for five days ferent is the SPCA ran a shelter whereby residents could surrender their animals to the shelter and the SPCA would care for them. Our pound will no longer do that. “The pound will be available to the public just for them to pick up their dogs.” Impounded dogs will remain at the former SPCA shelter on Merecroft Road for five days, according to Trevor Hughes, Coastal Animal Control Services of B.C.’s CEO. Dogs unclaimed within that time frame will be shipped to one of two Coastal Animal Control adoption centres on the Island. “On the other hand,” Hughes said, “dogs that possess any form of identification or appear well fed and socialized may be held for several weeks while trying to locate an

owner. After we have exhausted all avenues of re-uniting the lost pet with its owners, then and only then, the dog will be available for adoption.” Hughes said, “Our priority to public safety and education is mirrored by our compassionate treatment of animals. We have been acting as an animal control and animal shelter for nearly 40 years on Vancouver Island. “ We h av e t w o large animal shelter branches so no dog is ever turned away due to lack of space.” The pound in Campbell River will be open to the public from 4-5 p.m. Monday to Friday and from noon-1 p.m. on Saturdays or by appointment. Keats says that does not provide any time for volunteers. “In a nutshell there

will be no volunteer opportunities for me at this point,” she says. “That place has been like my second home. I’ve never seen a more dedicated, hardworking group of volunteers. This has left a big gap in the community and a hole in my heart. And for the staff to get up on Tuesday morning to realize they’re unemployed...” Good also feels for the staff – some of which have worked at the SPCA for most of their lives. “How can you do that to local people who have given so much and bring in an out-oftown company,” Good says. “There’s just some things in life, sure it’s a lot of money but it’s the right thing to do to look after animals. Obviously it’s not a priority in this town, which breaks my heart.

ter both animal control and run the animal shelter submitted a cost estimate of $231,350 plus 50 per cent of all dog licensing revenue ($15,000) to provide those services in 2013 while Coastal Animal Control submitted a bid of $130,000. Council voted at a council meeting Jan. 22 to give the enforcement contract to Coastal Animal control but retain the SPCA shelter services at a negotiated amount. City Manager Andy Laidlaw said the SPCA t u r n e d t h at o f f e r down. “Council had hoped the combination of continued access to the building and the grantin-aid offer would have allowed the SPCA to continue to operate in Campbell River, especially because the grant funding appears to be more generous

than what is typically offered to local SPCA branches by other communities,” Laidlaw said last week. The SPCA, which cared for 1,193 animals in 2011 out of its Campbell River branch, says it was forced to pull out of the city because a $34,000 grant-in-aid from the city was not enough to sustain its operations and a paid 10-member staff. That decision prompted the city to award both the enforcement and animal shelter contract to Coastal Animal Control for $130,000 per year, which falls into council’s animal control and pound services budget limit of $164,000. People with animal complaints or wanting to make arrangements to have their pets picked up can contact Coastal Animal Control at 1-888-754-1397.

“There was so much love for the animals up there. After having the SPCA here for 30 years it’s a huge step backward for animal welfare.” Craig Daniell, chief executive officer with the BC SPCA, said the decision was made to close the Campbell River branch – which served the entire North Island and was losing $10,000 a year – because city council voted to award the city’s animal enforcement contract to a private out-of-town company, Coastal Animal Control. “This difficult situation has arisen because of the city’s decision to award the pound service contract to a bidder who significantly undercut the BC SPCA’s proposal,” said Daniell.

Noon-hour rally today in front of city hall SPCA rally aims to hold council accountable PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Diane Palmer is well aware there’s little or nothing city council can do to bring the SPCA back to Campbell River. That’s why today’s noon-hour rally in front of city hall is about holding local politicians accountable for their actions, she says. “Council needs to be responsible…with no SPCA, what are we going to do when animal welfare issues need to be dealt with?” she asks.

As of Monday, Coastal Animal Control Services began operating in the city after being awarded the contract over the SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). City council, acting on the recommendation of staff, chose Coastal to operate enforcement and pound services based on a far lower bid. Coastal also operates in several other Island communities and city council offered the SPCA a grant to continue operating its other services including pet adoption, the

spaying and neutering program, dog walking program and more. But on Friday, the SPCA sent a letter to council stating it was already operating at a loss, could not continue to do so and had decided to leave Campbell River after three decades of service. On Saturday, as SPCA staff and volunteers packed up their belongings, an impromptu rally, fueled by social media, formed at the shelter off Merecroft Road. “It wasn’t so much a rally as it was a thankyou to the dedicated staff who spent many, many years caring for animals in our community,” says Palmer. “It was very emotional.” Palmer worked at the local SPCA shelter more than 20 years ago and that led to her current job as a receptionist at the Merecroft Veterinary Hospital. She knows very well the services provided by the SPCA and doesn’t believe Coastal will come close to offer-

tion for Welfare of Animals in Campbell River. As of Tuesday morning, Palmer’s petition had more than 1,000 signatures and more than 200 people indicated they would attend Wednesday’s rally. The rally, says Palmer,

is an opportunity to show city council how much support there is in Campbell River for the SPCA. It also puts council on notice that animal rights issues will not be ignored. “The SPCA served the entire North Island and now it’s

gone. They were operating at capacity and I can imagine now the Comox Valley SPCA is operating at capacity,” she says. “What was council’s motive and what are they going to do now? Where will animal rights stand?”

Hydro project gets boost It was good news Tuesday for BC Hydro. It started with official approval from the government to slightly alter the boundary at Elk Falls Provincial Park. This will allow construction to begin on the nearly $1 billion project to rebuild the John Hart Generating Station. The second good news was $301,627 in funding for eight projects taking place in the Campbell River watershed this year and next. BC Hydro distributes the money through the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program. Projects include evaluating improvements to fish access at the Salmon River Big Tree Side-Channel and investigating early marine biology of juvenile and wild salmon around the Campbell River estuary. Moving the park boundary required approval from the B.C. Legislature and final approval was given last week. “This is great news for the John Hart project and allows BC Hydro to proceed with all the early site preparation works this spring and summer in order to prepare for the major construction work beginning later this year,” said spokesman Stephen Watson. “BC Hydro will be obtaining Park Use Permits to work within small areas of the park. BC Hydro has committed to provide a net benefit to Elk Falls upon project completion.” Construction of the Station View Trail will begin as early as next week. This work will allow trail users to maintain the Can-

yon View Trail loop through BC Hydro property during the five-year construction period. The Station View Trail, designed to go around the construction area, will be in place this summer. Once the John Hart project is complete, park land not required for the ongoing operation will be returned to park status. BC Hydro has committed to provide a net benefit to BC Parks upon project completion. These mitigation and compensation benefits include: New paved access road and paved parking lot for public access to Elk Falls plus a crushed gravel trail connection to the Millennium Trail; Decommissioning of BC Parks’ existing two parking lots within Elk Falls Park; Transfer of BC Hydro lands at three potential locations for an approximate 3.4-hectare area at end of project.

Burning brush brings out fire crews PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A fire to prevent future fires wasn’t an April Fool’s joke. On a sunny and dry Monday afternoon, April 1, a home owner decided to take

it open himself to clear out the dry brush bordering his property at 5400 Quinsam Rd. That’s a no-no and it didn’t take long before a passerby called 911 to report a brush fire. By the time firefighters

arrived, a 90-metre long by 20-metre wide swath of undergrowth had burned off the berm by the ditch. Fire crews took their time extinguishing the smouldering embers and Deputy Fire Chief Chris Vrabel noted how dry the brush is, partic-

ularly this early in spring. The home owner was on the scene and was standing nearby with heavy equipment to prevent the fire’s spread, but did appear a little sheepish as he explained what happened to firefighters.

Regional district raises tax rate KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Campbell River homeowners will be hit with another property tax increase as the Strathcona Regional District approved tax hikes for some regions. Directors approved and adopted the regional district’s 20132017 financial plan at a board meeting Thursday afternoon. The budget includes a $6.28 property tax increase, an average household property tax of $202.52 on the ave r a g e C a m p b e l l River home while taxes on Quadra Island are expected to increase on average by $8.72 to an average property tax of $358.61. On Cortes Island property taxes are set to rise by $2.16 for the average home to $707.39.

Abram said he received advice from the provincial government to not put funding towards the project this year when next year gas tax funds could be put towards the cost if it turns out the entire sewer plant needs replacing. “Their argument was why put contingency money aside if we can use the gas tax next year and I bought their argument,” Abram said. Area A (Kyuquot/ Nootka-Sayward) director Gerald Whalley also voted in opposition to the budget. Whalley had tried at a previous meeting to fund the new communications/human resources position from the Strathcona Gardens budget but directors had already voted to fund the position using the regional d i s t r i c t ’s g e n e r a l administration budget.

Our View

The return of a tax It was perhaps fitting that B.C. returned to the Provincial Sales Tax on April Fool’s Day. The rollout of the Harmonized Sales Tax by thenPremier Gordon Campbell was a colossal bungle during his time We say: How in office. The HST was praised by economists as sensible tax policy, and fitting the HST approved by many in the business disappears on community as easier to administer. April Fool’s Day But too many people felt betrayed by the way the tax was introduced, particularly due to the fact it came on the heels of an election where no mention of the HST was made.

And after the damage had been done, and after people learned that, in general, most folks would pay more under the new regime, no attempts at explanation could turn the tide of opposition. In the summer of 2011, residents had their say in a province-wide referendum, rejecting the HST in favour of a return to the PST. So here we are, again. Back in a world with two taxes, the GST with a few exemptions, and the PST with quite a few. There’s a great explainer on the provinces website to untangle it all—just visit http://gov.bc.ca/pst and click “What’s taxable, what’s not.” Suffice to say, for many things the average British

Columbian will save money with the return to the PST. On things like home repairs and renovations, child safety equipment, smoke detectors, bikes, movie tickets, golf memberships, haircuts, basic cable, gym memberships and buying a new house, the return of the PST is good news and will mean significant savings. The unfortunate impact, however, is the loss of the provincial rebate of up to $230 a year for low-income individuals, which now drops to $75. As usual, the most vulnerable feel the shift most keenly. Meantime, the rest of us will adjust, as we always do. – Black Press

Questions about SPCA Filed for publication with the Mirror Dear Mayor and Council, City of Campbell River Re: Closure of Campbell River SPCA and tendering of services to Coastal Animal Services The closure of the Campbell River SPCA raises many questions in my mind that I, as a taxpayer, animal owner and supporter of the SPCA, would like answered. We have been told that it was done to save taxpayers money during the 2013 budget discussions, yet the basic math involved does not add up. The bid was only as follows: Duties will include seize and impound animals, conduct patrols, catch and transport stray animals including dangerous dogs, investigating complaints regarding by-law violations, gathering evidence, issue tickets, provide evidence in court, if required, and provide information and assistance to the public and other organizations There is no requirement to provide the full range of Continued on A10

Carbon trust orchestrates campaign to discredit report

Tom Fletcher B.C. Views

The Pacific Carbon Trust orchestrated a months-long campaign of calls and letters to discredit a report from B.C.’s Auditor General on its first two big carbon offset projects, before it could be released. Just as the audit report was about to be made public, the trust, a Crown corporation created at taxpayer expense, participated in the leaking of selected critical letters to media outlets. Then the Speaker of the B.C. legislature, Bill Barisoff, made a final, clumsy effort to delay the release of the report. As soon as it was out, Environment Minister Terry Lake tried to discredit it, by blustering about all the highly paid experts who swore up and down

that a forest reserve near Kootenay Lake, and a gas flaring reduction project near Fort Nelson, were bona fide carbon offsets worth $6 million of taxpayers’ money. The audit states in plain language, with charts and timelines, that the $6 million was basically given away for nothing. I look forward to further audits on this carbon offset scheme, assuming it survives after the May election, because these two projects aren’t the only boondoggles. The Pacific Carbon Trust was set up in 2008 as part of former premier Gordon Campbell’s climate change program. To make the B.C. government’s operations “carbon neutral,” the government and all of its agencies were required to pay the trust

$25 per tonne for their carbon dioxide emissions from fuel use. In 2011 alone, B.C. universities paid $4.46 million to the trust. B.C.’s 60 school districts paid a total of $5.36 million the same year, and the province’s six health authorities paid $5.79 million. The money is supposed to go to projects that capture carbon, thus “offsetting” the heating of schools, the fuel burned by ambulances and so forth. The 55,000-hectare forest reserve is known as Darkwoods. The audit shows that the Nature Conservancy of Canada decided in 2006 to buy it, using $25 million of federal taxpayers’ money. The deal closed in 2008, the same year the Pacific Carbon Trust was formed.

From 2008 to 2010, the trust bought 450,000 tonnes of carbon offset, based on independent evaluations that all rested on the assumption that Darkwoods would be clear-cut logged. Since the forest was already owned by Canada’s leading conservancy, this assumption makes no sense. Was the conservancy going to log it, or flip it to someone who would, after accepting $25 million in tax money to acquire it? Legally, it could not. (I would add that the assumption that logging releases all of the carbon in a forest is also false. Lumber actually sequesters carbon for longer than trees, which eventually die and rot.) The audit found a similar case Continued on A9

Focus on facts and understanding and not just on finding bad guys and evil companies Filed for publication with the Mirror Dear Graham Auger, Although you believe that there is plenty of scientific evidence proving that diseases in wild salmon exist as a result of salmon far ming on the BC coast, I regret to tell you that you are just plain wrong. Fact: Salmon smolt must be certified disease free by licensed

veterinarians before being moved from fresh water closed containment hatcheries to the ocean farms. Fish health on all farms is strictly monitored throughout the life of the fish. This ensures that the exposure that fish face from common, local pathogens does not cause a health issue to either the farm stock, or the surrounding environment.

The film, Salmon Confidential that you cite as proof, is riddled with outright false and misleading information. While the producers of Salmon Confidential seem very passionate about wild salmon, the dogmatic rhetoric continues to be erroneous. A blog exposing the false claims in the video (http://salmonconfidential.com/ busting-the-myths/) is

a must read for anyone that truly wishes to educate themselves, not just be exposed to the emotional and unfounded views that are expressed. While the anti salmon farm lobby continues to tell you that the removal of salmon farms from our coast is necessary, real scientific evidence shows otherwise. The Cohen Commission did not find

Salmon Farms to be responsible for declines in Pacific stocks. Energy and passion would perhaps be better spent trying to understand all of the issues affecting wild salmon, and not just focus erroneously on finding the bad guys and evil corporations, pointing fingers without knowing all the facts. Tim Lelliott Grieg Seafood

Fletcher: Here’s another project that should be audited Continued from A8

a g a i n s t E n C a n a ’s flare reduction program, which the company used on many wells before the trust started offering money. EnCana was saving money as well as reducing emissions without

collecting offsets. Therefore, the audit concluded, neither of these projects was a credible offset because the emissions savings would have occurred anyway. H e r e ’s t h e n e x t Pacific Carbon Trust project that should be

audited. In a complicated transaction, the trust bought offsets from something called the Great Bear Carbon Credit Limited Partnership. Yes, this is the worldfamous forest on B.C.’s North Coast that was subject to a preserva-

tion deal hammered out between the Coastal First Nations, the B.C. government and three U.S.-backed environmental groups. That was in 2006. The offset purchases were in 2009 and 2010, years after detailed preservation areas were mapped

and codified in law. Again, the trust paid for forest that was already preserved. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher @blackpress.ca

services that the SPCA provided. Why not? Who was to provide them? What happens to the animals that the SPCA and Campbell River taxpayers used to care for? Did Staff talk to the SPCA and ask them for input? If they did, what did the SPCA say? Did anyone who proposed and supported this plan figure this into the discussions? I sat in on council meetings and heard discussions about the upgrading and replacement of the existing SPCA building because

they could not handle the number of animals they cared for. I heard council talk about possible site locations and additional funding for the SPCA. Was all this information forgotten by those proposing and supporting the changes? I know several of the current council members were part of those meetings as I sat across from them during the meetings. I didn’t hear any of them speak out against this. Why was this dismissed or forgotten by staff and council during the SPCA closure talks? Why did RFP 727 not

deal with animal care and only those points above? How can the supporters say that money is being saved when the same services are not being provided? Where was the funding to come from for animal care? Staff and council live in Campbell River so they must be aware of the tremendous community support that the SPCA receives. Free community support comes in the form of thousands of dollars in cash, care volunteers, fundraisers, donations of food, toys, bedding, cages, towels, veterinary ser-

vices, blankets and just about anything needed to help distressed animals. Who is going to replace all that? The statement has been made that the Comox Valley SPCA will attempt to offer animal care. Has anyone asked the citizens of Comox Valley how they feel about funding Campbell River pet care? Has Campbell River staff and council approached Courtenay and Comox to ask/tell them? Does council think it is fair to expect the Comox Valley SPCA deal with more than a 100 per cent increase in animals as of April 1? Can the Comox Valley SPCA physically handle this instant influx? I have had the Camp-

bell River SPCA help me personally in the return of two missing pets over the years. My dog escaped from our fenced yard through a hole that a neighbour had made in our fence. The dog was found, reported to the SPCA and retur ned home within hours. My house cat jumped from a second story window and wandered for more than two weeks. Local residents found him, called the SPCA who loaned me a humane trap. This enabled me to rescue my emaciated and almost dead pet. Who will help me and other pet owners now? Are Campbell River residents who find strayed pets now required to drive an almost 100 km return

trip to Comox to drop them off ? Are owners of missing pets who want to see if is their pet has been recovered? We have been told that our yearly dog licence fees went to support animal care at the SPCA. As this is no longer happening are we getting a refund and cancellation of the program? If not, why not? Did anyone on staff think that this whole decision might raise problems and f all short in so many basic areas? If not, why not? If this was such a great decision why was the discussion held incamera where taxpayers will not be told who supported canning the SPCA and leaving the

Question: Can my dentist do botox? Answer: Dentists have extensive knowledge of the

head and neck anatomy, as it is the area they work on daily. Dentists are skilled at injections as they routinely give injections in sensitive areas. Botox has therapeutic uses and is not just for cosmetics. If you clench or grind excessively, Botox can reduce these habits, saving your teeth and relaxing Dr. Jana Lamb DMD your tense facial muscles. People who suffer from headaches are getting relief with Botox. Also, people who suffer from excessive sweating can use Botox to inhibit the sweat glands. In 1992 it was two Canadian ophthalmologists who first used Botox to treat wrinkles around the eyes and forehead. This treatment has been approved by the FDA and it is reported to last up 4-6 months. Botox treatment offers advantages for men and women. Botox is a purified protein which is safely metabolized by the body. The appointments are short and you are able to carry on with your day as it allows for natural movement of the face. Results last up to 6 months or even longer with repeated use. The CDSBC has approved the use of Botox in dental offices. For more information or to find out if Botox will work for you please contact Dr. Jana Lamb for a Complimentary Cosmetic Consult at 250-287-7343.

Beyond that, McNestry said Discovery College is involved in the community, with most students out in the field completing practicums or preceptorships – practical experience and training for students supervised by an expert in the field.

Even for younger people, doing the splits can be difficult but, believe it or not, doing the splits becomes easier as you mature. Of course, what we’re talking about here is not physically doing the splits but ﬁnancially – as in splitting your pension income with a spouse or common-law partner to save on taxes.

common-law relationship. Regardless of your age, income from these sources is eligible for income splitting: • Lifetime pension, bridging payments, or annuity payments from a registered pension plan or foreign pension plan. • Payments to a surviving spouse from investments held within a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) or Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF) annuity contract resulting from the death of the original annuity owner.

INVESTORS GROUP Pension income-splitting

The federal government allows eligible retirees to save on income tax by letting couples shift up to 50% of the higher earner’s eligible pension income to the lower earning partner who is taxed at a lower rate, reducing the tax bite for both of you. (By the way, you don’t actually have to pay the shifted income to your partner, you simply report it for tax purposes.) To qualify for pension income-splitting, you and your partner must be Canadian residents and either married or living in a

At age 65, income from these sources also becomes eligible for pension income-splitting: • Payments from your investments held within a RRIF. • The interest component of the annuity payments under a contract purchased with non-registered funds. You can qualify for pension income splitting even if you are receiving a periodic pension benefit and have started a second

MARS: Call before attempting rescue ter on the Island. It is important to remember to call us first before attempting a rescue as these types of species can be dangerous. Each year we also receive a number of large raptors, eagles, owls, hawks and great blue herons. All of these species require expert knowledge and handling, again we ask you to call for advice before attempting any kind of rescue. Injured wildlife can be very unpredictable finding hidden strength to fight back even when they appear to be dead. We would like to invite the public to our open house on April 7th from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 6817 Headquarters Road in Merville; we will be having a book and bake sale including tours of our facility and a chance to meet our three ambassador birds. To call for advice or other information please call 250-337-2021 or visit our web site at www.wingtips.org

cover the container with a towel and put it in a warm, dark, quiet place do not open or disturb the bird. Make sure you wash your hands and any items such as towels, jackets etc. that may have touched the bird they do have parasites and can carry diseases. ■ Please note the exact location of the rescue so that we know where to relocate the bird if it is successfully rehabilitated. Please do not attempt to raise a baby yourself, it is against the wildlife act and they need professional help if they are to survive. MARS offers advice on a number of mammals including baby racoons, newborn fawns, seal pups and otters. However we do not have the facilities or permits to rehabilitate these species and only stabilize them before relocating them to another wildlife cen-

The Campbell River Literacy Association has hosted three previous fundraisers but they want this one to be the biggest of all! “Everyone loves to play scrabble and beat their friends, now they will have the chance to raise money for a good cause,” says Julina Spetch, CR Literacy Association ESL Coordinator Both advanced and recreational players will enjoy three rounds

Local businesses are generously supporting the event with the donation of prizes and food. Prizes will be awarded for areas such as top scores, lowest score, player bringing in the highest total in donations, and more. The Campbell River Literacy Association is fundraising in support of their literacy programs in Campbell River. For over 13 years

the Campbell River Literacy Association has been working hard to provide free programming such as Adult Literacy tutoring, Youth and Adult English as a Second Language tutoring, Computer literacy programming and an English Conversation class. They train volunteer tutors, who work one-on-one or in small groups.

His resume also includes performing Chopin’s, Winter Wind in the 2011 Songs, Strings and Steps Concert with fellow pianist Josh Herrett. Williamson is one of six Canadian pianists who participated in an International Music Programme called Morningside Music Bridge, held at Mount

His fifteen minute programme will include Bartok’s ‘Swineherd’s Dance’; a Chopin Waltz, and an A. Louie’s ‘Moonlight Toccata’. For more information, please contact Sonia Hauser @ 250923-2212.

Hearts open but closets closed for month-long fundraiser Staf f at the BC Salmon Farmers Association are opening their heart, but closing their closet, for the third annual Five Easy Pieces for Heart and Stroke fundraiser. The fundraiser will challenge each staff member at the BCSFA to take on wearing just five pieces of clothing to work for the month of April, with the goal of raising $5,000 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. “We love helping the Heart and Stroke Foundation – even if we don’t love the idea of wearing the same outfits for a month straight,” said Colleen Dane, Communications Manager of the BCSFA. “We do it because we know it’s a small inconvenience compared to the challenges faced by those battling heart health challenges.” Staff at the BCSFA has already raised about $11,000 over the last two years through this month-long event– and they’re looking forward to growing that total with added fundraisers this year.

(From Left) Colleen Dane, David Minato, Mary Ellen Walling and Alejandra Hernandez from the BC Salmon Farmers Association air out their laundry before launching their month-long clothing challenge.

The month’s events coincide with the foundation’s Heart Truth events which encour-

age healthy lifestyle choices to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.

“Increasing your consumption of salmon reduces the risk of hear t disease and

stroke significantly – our members are proud that they’re producing such a nutritious food, and we’re happy to help share that message,” said Mary Ellen Walling, Executive Director of the BCSFA. Along with supporting the challenge participants by making pledges, members of the public can get involved by donating clothing and attending the wrap up Clothing Swap (by donation) or by purchasing a Spread the Love seed packet for $5 each. To find out more, phone (250) 2861636 x0. Anyone is welcome to join the challenge and can learn more by emailing info@salmonfarmers.org. The BCSFA represents salmon far m companies and those who supply services and supplies to the industry. Salmon-farming provides for 6,000 direct and indirect jobs while contributing $800-million to the provincial economy each year. For more information visit www.salmonfarmers.org

Join Bravehearts for another season on the water With spring in the air, members of the BraveHearts dragon boat team has launched their boat as they prepare for another season. Paddling from the Coril Air dock on the Spit, the team can be seen practising each Tuesday and Thursday evening from now until late September. Nationally recognised as the first mixed cancer survivor dragon boat in Canada, the team welcomes new members whether they are cancer survivors, their families and supporters or others who have been touched by this disease.

This year the team will be participating in festivals around the North Island, starting with the Race the River Regatta in Campbell River on June 29. This event is cohosted by the River Spirit Dragon Boat Te a m a n d B r ave Hearts. Other festivals include those in Port Hardy, Comox and Port Alberni together with the Discovery Passage passage event which annually sees a flotilla of boats plying the water between Campbell River and Cape Mudge.

acts of generosity from Campbell River businesses and residents. In return, members like to pay back and during the past few months

have assisted with many different activities including helping the Knights of Columbus with their annual hamper fund; assist-

ing the Royal Canadian Legion branch with its Burns Night Supper and clearing away brush and garbage from around the

Coril Air property in appreciation of their ongoing support. Each year the members also assist with the Relay for Life, Cops for Cancer and the Terry Fox Run. In a special ceremony earlier this year, BraveHearts were pleased to present a cash donation to the West Coast Prostate Awareness Society in memory of Al Hodgkinson, who founded the society back in 1994. Hodgkinson, who passed away in January, was a pioneer in the treatment now widely used for all prostate cancer victims. Tentatively sched-

uled for May 4 this year, the annual BraveHearts Open House will be held at Dick Murphy Park where newcomers to the sport will have the opportunity to try out their skills. Dragon boating is open to all ages and abilities. It is a fun-filled activity bringing together people from diverse backgrounds and is one of the finest examples of the healthy life style being so actively sought today. If you would like to learn more about dragon boating and BraveHearts, please call Linda Stopa at 778420-0805.

DEATHS

Josephine Ruth Hunt October 1, 1920March 27, 2013

Cherished wife (68 years) of Harold Richard Hunt (Dick) and mother to Joy Midtdal (Sid), Rob (Wendy Cole), Gail (Doug Baker) and Tim (Elaine). Huggy Grandma to Graham, Brendan, Emery, Rafferty, Rachel, Robin, Liam, Derick, Elliott, Tess and Nathan. Great Grandma to Scott and Brody. Ruth’s heart may have failed, but not from lack of love given and received. Dick walked with his sweetheart every day, expressing his love for her. Ruth’s diminished faculties did not limit her capacity to sing hymns and recite prayers, or to tell everyone she met on her rambles around Holyrood Manor, “I love you.” She is missed for her uncommon cheerfulness. Ruth’s life was one of service, first as a rancher’s wife, then a minister’s when her rancher entered the priesthood. She was our hard-working resourceful model of thriftiness and organization – she could feed a household of 14 on a chunk of bologna, or find space in the car trunk for one more air mattress for a holiday. Wherever she lived, she grew a garden filled with beauty and nutrition. Roses were her favourites. Right now Ruth is likely telling her hairdresser in heaven that she loves her. Funeral St. John the Divine, Maple Ridge 1:30 pm Thurs, April 4, 2013. God welcomes Ruth home.

Skiers fare well at Nationals Andrea Lee of Black Creek wins two gold while young, local skier earns a bronze Strathcona Nordics racers brought hardware back to the Island from the Cross Country Ski Nationals in Whistler Olympic Park. Andrea Lee of Black Creek picked up two golds and Avalon Wasteneys of Campbell River brought home a bronze. Lee, who now trains at the National Development Centre in Thunder Bay and additionally skis for the Lakehead University team where she is currently studying, picked up a gold in team sprints and a gold in the five kilometre skate. Members of the Strathcona Nordics were thrilled to see their clubmate race and win in the university series. Wasteneys won a bronze in the classic sprints, persisting through a fiercely competitive field of 75 juvenile racers in the quarter, semi, and final heats. “Avalon has incredible natural ability,” says head coach Dave Battison says. “She took all her training, all the things we’ve been working on, and she executed them perfectly.” When the team learned that Wasteneys was moving into the heats, Coach Battison declared, “We’re going to the show!” as he dug deep into his wax arsenal. Across the five race events, all 17 members of the team enjoyed shining moments and many personal best races. The young team looks forward to a bright future racing at provincial and national levels. The Strathcona Nordics are now preparing for the 31st Annual Vancouver Island Loppet on April 13. For more information and to register see the website. StrathconaNordics.com

Silver medal ending After finishing second on Vancouver Island to the Peninsula Panthers in league playoffs, the bantam Hurricanes female team headed over to the Richmond Ice Classic Tournament to wrap up the season. The team had a tough schedule with several early morning draws, some challenging games and the girls came out with a winning spirit for each and every game. The first game Friday had them playing Juan de Fuca. The game started off a bit slow, but with the hard work of Kylie Scammell, who scored a hat trick, the team came alive in the second and third periods. Continued on Page 34

Savannah Wasden of the Campbell River Skating Club set a goal this year to be the best and she has done just that. Wasden is the current reigning Provincial Senior Bronze Ladies Figure Skating Champion, winning the title in Kelowna in early March. Not only was she the competition winner, Wasden compiled the most points throughout the skating year which made her the BC Super Series Overall Senior Bronze Winner as well. Hard work and many hours on the ice paid off for Wasden as she is on the ice every weekday. She also takes a dance, stretch/flexibility and strength class three times a week. Everything was re-evaluated this season and more time was made for her to get her training done here with her coach Jannine Ranniger at the Campbell River Skating Club. Skating at home has been a big boost to her enjoyment of skating and upped her confidence level which has really showed in her performances.

The team got into penalty trouble in the second and third period against the very physical but smaller Richmond side. This produced two power play goals for Richmond which capped off the third with an empty net goal for a 3-1 win. Cassidy Bellavance was the Hurricane’s MVP for this game for her tenacity both on the forward and defensive lines. Jadylin Spooner

Hayley Hunter, Lisa Lloyd and Julia Mercer added single goals for 6-1 win. Lloyd was named the MVP for the game for her tough defensive play and for creatingscoring opportunities. On Saturday morning the team played a peewee AAA team from Richmond which was playing in the Bantam C as there was no division for them in the tournament.

City faces $3.6 million deficit KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The city is forecasting a $3.6 million budget shortfall for 2012, according to preliminary fig-

ures. That’s up substantially from the last estimated budget deficit of $550,000 back in December.

The picture looks bleaker now because of a change in the prop-

erty assessment value of the defunct Catalyst mill site. The BC Assessment Authority announced early last month that Catalyst no longer meets the requirements of a major industrial property, and

has been reclassified as business/ other, which means a significant reduction in Catalyst’s property taxes. That decision results in a loss of $1.8 million in tax revenue for

2012. Included in the deficit is a $1.1 million tax shortfall carried over from 2011, plus a $1.3 million increase in costs related to contract commitments and inflationary increases, said Laura Ciarniello, the city’s general manager of corporate services. If the city were to maintain the current level of services it provides to citizens, the tax rate would have to increase by 24 per cent in order to make up the $3.6 million. The loss of $1.8 million from Catalyst alone, equates to a 12 per cent residential tax increase. To put that into perspective, Ciarniello said a one per cent residential tax increase would bring in $150,000 in revenue for the city. That one per cent increase would mean roughly $12 more per year in property taxes for the average homeowner. The city’s operating budget is approximately $37 million which Continued on A3

Campbell River squad face the hometown Richmond Ravens. This was a must-win game for Campbell River while Ravens were undefeated. The pressure could be felt on both sides of the arena. The first period ended scoreless, as both teams battled fiercely. The line of Carissa Jochimski, Rylee Nelson and Kate Johnson had several scoring opportunities but the Raven’s goalie came up big every time. Finally, late in the second period, Callie Ann Masse nailed a slap shot through the posts to put the Hurricanes up by one. Scammell would add a second goal at the start of the third. The Hurricanes won the game 2-1 and advanced to the final. Scammell earned the game MVP for her game-winning goal. The final would set the Hurricane girls up against the same peewee squad they lost to earlier. Richmond took an early 1-0 and then held on as the Hurricanes cranked up the offence. However, the Richmond goalie stood strong and an empty net goal late in the match sealed a 2-0 victory.

The Harris rink captured the last event of the season at the curling club.

Mixed bonspiel brings out the best The Campbell River Curling Club wraped up the season with 24 teams playing in the North Island Co-op Gas Bar Mixed Open. The A event, sponsored by ABL Electric, was an incredible game that went an extra end to determine that it was the Wayne Harris rink to raise the trophy beating out Randy Veitch, both from the Comox Valley. The B event, sponsored by KLP Construction, saw two Campbell RIver rinks battle it out. In the end it was won by the Dean Thulin Rink, playing with third D’Arcy Cato, second Don Barnowski and lead Gayle Barnowski. The opposition team skipped by Nicole McCurrie playing with her brother Clayton and parents Sharon and Kevin McCurrie play in the event every year as a family. The C event, sponsored by Pioneer Home Hardware, was won by

the Ray Michell rink of the Comox Valley with third Melanie Rait, second Jade Jensen and lead Mare Michell. The beat out Campbell River’s Gary Labbe rink with third Margaret Walker, second Tom Green and lead Yvette Green. The D event, sponsored by the Campbell River Curling Club, was won by longtime member Ed Schmuland who is no stranger to winning curling events. Ed skipped with Susanne Grundison playing third, Paul Mansueto playing second and Jonelle Knowles playing lead. Club manager Susan Johnson, along with event chairs John LaPointe and Kevin May, would like to send a huge thank-you to Jim Clarkson, the manager of the Co-op Gas Bar for coming in and being a major sponsor and supporting the Campbell River Curling Club.

Scene & Heard

Early Easter extravaganza! What’s a few extra goodies, a day early, eh? It was an Easter extravaganza on Saturday in downtown Campbell River. Sponsored by the Downtown BIA, the day kicked off on the foreshore at Robert Ostler Park with hundreds of children taking part in the Easter Egg Hunt. The kids and their families then strolled in the sunshine to the downtown Spirit Square where there was live entertainment, face painting, kids’ activities, a petting zoo and lots of great food. The Easter Bunny was also there for photos with proceeds benefiting the Head Injury Support Society. And proceeds from the Grieg Seafood salmon barbecue are helping the Campbell River Killer Whales swim team.
