Duo aims to resurrect animal shelter KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

KRISTEN DOUGLAS/THE MIRROR

Fun at the fair Campbell River kids get a thrill on the mini version of Playland’s Hellevator, which shoots riders up and down a vertical pole. The fair came to town last weekend and set up shop in the empty lot beside Home Depot.

Trio vie for multi-million hospital race It’s a three-way race to win a building contract worth $600-million. A trio of consortiums are in the running to build two new hospitals in Courtenay and Campbell River as the request for proposals was officially announced

Monday. “The quality of the three shortlisted firms is very strong,” said Claire Moglove, chair of the Comox Strathcona Regional Hospital District. “Moving to (this) stage is a significant step in the development of the North

Island Hospitals Project, which will have such a positive impact on healthcare delivery in our region.” The list of consortiums vying for the two-hospital project was whittled down from eight to three last October. The three selected

to bid are Arbutus Healthcare Partners, Plenary Health and Tandem Health Partners. All three involve major building, engineering and design firms with an extensive history of health care construction in Continued on A4

A pair of community-minded volunteers are planning to open a community-owned, and community-operated animal shelter but some residents have their doubts and would prefer to have the SPCA back. Campbell River’s Carol Chapman, an SPCA volunteer for more than 10 years, and Cyriel DeBruyne, manager of Quality Foods and who is deeply involved in the community, have met with the city and say they’ve been given the go ahead to resurrect the shelter. “We asked if we could have the old shelter, so we’re going to reopen the shelter,” Chapman said. “It’s officially called Campbell River Paws. We’re so excited. At the end of the day, for me, it’s all about the animals.” Chapman will be actively recruiting volunteers to fill the void left when the SPCA decided to pull the plug on its Campbell River operations at the end of March. “I think it’s really positive for the community to operate its own shelter,” Chapman said. The plan is to run the shelter with all volunteers, with the exception of one paid staff, possibly a former SPCA worker. The group, which will be dubbed Campbell River Paws, plans to share the existing shelter with Coastal Animal Control, which will be in charge of animal enforcement. Campbell River Continued on A3

Comox Valley SPCA expect influx of Campbell River animals SCOTT STANFIELD BLACK PRESS

The Comox Valley SPCA does not have the capacity to handle an influx of animals expected to come its way now that another agency is handling pound services at the Campbell River SPCA.

Campbell River council has awarded the pound services contract to Coastal Animal Services, which means the SPCA had to vacate the city-owned shelter. “There’s going to be a glut of homeless animals in Campbell River,” SPCA spokesperson Lorie Chortyk

said. “It’s very likely a lot of those animals will need to be sheltered at the Comox SPCA.” The SPCA’s Drive for Lives program transfers about 5,000 animals each year from overcrowded shelters to those with space. Chortyk said home-

less animals in Campbell River will probably be transferred to Nanaimo or Victoria. In most communities, the SPCA owns the property. But in Camp-

bell River, the association relied on the city’s contract, which allowed it to operate out of the shelter. “When we have town contracts, it’s money

Paws would be tasked with animal welfare. Chapman said the city has offered two parcels of land – one on Homewood and one at the bottom of Merecroft Road – for the group to build its own shelter once it can raise the money. The plan is to operate the shelter on donations, including pet food, and fundraisers. “T he community always raised so much for the SPCA and I can’t see that falling off,” Chapman said. “We want anybody who wants to help. The community is going to take ownership – it’s the only option we have. We have to be able to accept orphaned animals.” But veterinarian Helen Kwong is skeptical that a communityrun shelter can work. First the local group would have to apply for non-profit status which could take up to 40 days. Incorporation of the society would take another 40 days, and

Carol Chapman is proposing a community-run animal shelter.

receiving charitable status for the society would take another six to 18 months, according to Kwong. Then there’s the issue of insurance. “Shelter insurance is very expensive because of the very real potential of serious injury,” Kwong said. “If they want to run it properly with stainless steel cages, for cleanliness and sterility, budget another $4,000. Also, add staf fing costs because as lovely as volunteers are, they must be supervised by trained staff. If this is a no kill shelter, as lovely as it sounds, who will

make the decisions? If you have $1,000 in your budget for a month to spend on veterinary bills, who do you decide to treat?” Campbell River resident and SPCA supporter Karen Holden said she believes the c o m m u n i t y wo u l d best be served by the SPCA. “I believe that Ms.Chapman is trying her best to avoid animals being abandoned but this proposed shelter is only a quick fix and a temporary solution,” Holden said. “The fact of the matter is we need to have the SPCA back. “The population of Campbell River and the surrounding area is increasing and it is imperative that we have an organization that is qualified to take care of the animals.” Holden is also concerned a communityrun shelter will take much more time and money than anticipated and questions how the group will be able to find enough qualified volunteers to operate such a facility.

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The BC SPCA is formally requesting that city council reconsider its decision to award the animal impound contract to Coastal Animal Control Services. Craig Daniell, BC SPCA chief executive officer, wrote a letter to the mayor and council on Thursday urging the city to change its mind. “The BC SPCA is of the opinion that it is not too late for council to re-examine its original decision,” Daniell said. “It is apparent that our position is shared by an overwhelming majority of residents of the City of Campbell River.” Upset the SPCA closed its local branch after the city awarded its animal control contract to Coastal Animal Control hundreds of residents rallied outside of city hall last Wednesday to voice their displeasure. The fallout from council’s decision is also spreading beyond Campbell River. Last Friday the chair of the Halfmoon Bay Childcare Centre Society on the Sunshine Coast also wrote a letter to council

urging the mayor and councillors to reconsider their decision to give Coastal Animal Control the animal shelter contract. “Your decision to replace the BC SPCA with Coastal Animal Services suggests a knowledge gap that can be quickly and easily remedied, but places your community at risk in the meantime,” Anna MacNeil-Allcock, B.Sc, wrote. “The scientist in me sees this as a unique opportunity to measure the positive impact of the BC SPCA, by tracking the problems that arise in their absence. “However, I am sad to predict that, based on scientific evidence, incidents of dog bite injuries will rise in Campbell River if the BC SPCA leaves. In one years’ time, hundreds of unaltered animals will become thousands. A growing animal population means greater risk of dangerous interactions between children and animals. What is the cost of one, two or three children bitten?” Council elected awarded the city’s animal enforcement contract to Coastal Animal Control after it scored higher than the SPCA in the city’s bidding process.

Its score was based on experience, references, and cost. But Daniell is disputing that Coastal Animal Control is the cheaper option. “It would be our position that Coastal’s offer on a per hour basis is significantly higher than that of the BC SPCA,” Daniell said. “It is our belief that the terms and conditions that appear to have been given to Coastal Animal Services differs markedly from those offered to the BC SPCA, to the point where the two offers cannot even be objectively compared.” A city report does reveal the SPCA was asked to give a quote for just animal shelter services but the city did not request a quote from Coastal for shelter services alone. Both were, however, asked to give a quote for combined shelter and animal control services. Coastal is expected to be paid $25,000 per year for city pound services with a two per cent increase in year four and year five. That contract was expected to be officially awarded at Tuesday night’s council meeting after the Mirror went to press.

‘Crazy rides’ for a cause KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

KRISTEN DOUGLAS/THE MIRROR

With Kobi nipping at his toes, Jacob Koomen takes a spin in the yard. Koomen is cycling from Kelowna to Delta to raise money for cancer research, as well as reuniting with his sister in Holland for a cycling event next month.

Campbell River’s Jacob Koomen knows he’s crazy. But he’s also dedic at e d , p a s s i o n at e, committed and about to realize a life-long dream. The avid sportsman will ride with his sister in a cycling tour through his home country of the Netherlands this summer. At 65, Koomen rides his bike every work day from his home in Willow Point to the Marine Harvest office at Discovery Harbour and puts in 100 kilometres of cycling every weekend – on a whim he’ ll ride down to Parksville or Nanaimo for the day. And he show no signs of slowing down. In the next few months he’ll tackle the 360-kilometre IJsselmeer ronde tour through Holland and the Ride2Survive cycle tour in support of the Canadian Cancer Society – a one-day 400-kilometre trek from Kelowna to Delta. He’s also been talked into a shorter ride while he’s out of the

country. “When my brother found out, he said that now that I was riding with my sister, ‘you have to do a ride with me’. So he signed me up for a 100-kilometre ride in Amsterdam, three days later,” Koomen says with a laugh. “Yeah, I know I’m crazy.” Koomen’s Holand tour takes place May 9 – the national holiday to mark Jesus’ ascension into heaven. It took some deliberating, but Koomen will be the first resident outside of the Netherlands allowed entry in the 69-rider tour. “For me to do it is fairly unique,” Koomen said. “Even my 93-yearold dad can’t wait to see us.” Koomen’s younger sister, Mieke Kroon, took part two years a g o. Ko o m e n w a s able to follow online through a Dutch radio station which provides live updates from the

tour. Koomen called in to request a song for his sister – Queen’s “Bicycle Race” – and the radio DJ was so impressed to get a call from Canada that he put Koomen through to his sister while the riders were taking a break at a rest stop. “He asked me ‘do you ride yourself ’ and I said ‘I do and my dream is to ride with my sister,’ ” Koomen said. The rest, as they say, was history, and Koomen applied and was accepted. To prepare, Koomen will ride in the the gruelling Ride2Survive on June 22 which takes riders through the scenic but hilly Coquihalla Highway on their journey from Kelowna to Delta in one day. This will be Koomen’s second time in as many years riding in the tour, in which all donations raised by the riders goes to the Canadian Cancer Society for can-

cer research. Koomen recalls last year’s challenges. “Just before Mission we hit a thunderstor m,” Koomen said. “Branches were breaking off trees and the cops were clearing the street for us. It was windy and rainy and all you could do was think about who you were riding for.” Koomen, who lost two co-workers to cancer within months of each other three years ago, as well as his wife Jannie’s brother in 2006, said it’s the people he’s lost which give him motivation. Koomen needs to raise $2,500 to participate in the tour. He’s already on his way, with $1,500 already raised. Anyone who would like to support Koomen and help him reach his fundraising goal can make a donation in his name through the event’s website, www. ride2survive.ca

Elected directors want health benefits KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Elected officials want the Strathcona Regional District to pay for some of their health benefits. Jude Schooner, director representing Tahsis, said she does not have Medical Services Plan (MSP) coverage and questioned why the regional district does not offer it as part of its group benefits package. “I’ve asked before and the answer I got was that most directors already are covered by other organizations but others, such as myself, are not,” Schooner said at a board meeting March 28. Tom Yates, acting chief administrative officer of the regional district, said that while the director’s salary and financial policy mentions MSP payments, nothing was ever set in stone. “Although the wording of the current director remuneration bylaw suggests that it may have been intended in the past, the coverage of MSP premiums for directors does not appear to have ever been implemented for the Strathcona Regional District or its predecessor, Comox-Strathcona Regional

Tricia McIntosh Mortgage Broker

District.” Regional district staff, on the other hand, do have MSP premiums paid for them by their employer. Brenda Leigh, director for Area D (Oyster Bay-Buttle Lake), said staff and directors should reap much of the same benefits. “Some of us are not covered at all by MSP,” Leigh said. “If our regional district staff are covered 100 per cent, then our directors should be covered.” In B.C., MSP premiums must legally be paid by, or on behalf of, every resident. Those who make $22,000 or less annually are not billed. For those with an annual income of $30,000 or more, monthly rates are $66.50 for one person, $120.50 for a family of two and $133 for a family of three or more, effective January 1, 2013. Schooner wants regional district staff to look into the implications of having MSP premiums paid 50 per cent by the regional district and 50 per cent by each director. The board is expected at Wednesday’s meeting to make a decision on whether or not to include MSP premiums as part of the directors’ group benefits package.

One hurt in two accidents Campbell River RCMP responded to a two-vehicle collision on the South Island Highway near Heard Road on Friday at 1:50 p.m. A 25-year-old Courtenay woman, driving a blue 2006 Subaru, was stopped for a left-turning vehicle when a 2011 grey GMC pickup rear-ended her car. She was taken by ambulance to Campbell River

bell River hospice, and two other Island societies, each receive $5,700 in annual funding from the health authority. As well, according to Puetz, they also receive an additional $5,000 which typically goes to programming. Last year, the health authority wanted hospice to promote its advanced care directive. Simply put, the directive is about people

making infor med decisions about their health while they’re still healthy and not sick or dying. “That’s fine and we’re happy to do that, but the money’s been used and now there’s an expectation for us to do more with no money,” says Puetz. She adds its difficult to run a society on $5,700 and then be expected to do more.

Hospital with minor injuries. Her 32-year-old male passenger, also from Courtenay, was unhurt. The 64-year-old Campbell River man driving the GMC pickup was issued a violation ticket for follow too closely. Last Thursday, at 11 p.m., police responded to a twovehicle collision on Rockland Road. A 1997 black Dodge pickup slid around a corner and struck a 2011 black Toyota van.

Heavy rain and wet roads contributed to the collision. No one was hurt and alcohol was not a factor.

The male said she looked left, but not right, turned and struck him. The driver did stop and checked to see if he was okay, and then left. However, he didn’t realize he had injuries until he got home. Police would like to speak with the female driver.

Our View

Ferry fares need to be kept affordable There are certain realities that come with the decision to live on an island, even so large an island as ours. The impact of those realities — isolation, expensive, timeWe say: Island consuming travel, reduced access to goods and services — is felt many transportation times more the smaller or more links province’s remote the island is. responsibility The people of British Columbia should be in the business of smoothing those issues, not dismissing them as solely being the problem of island-dwellers. Traffic congestion is an issue solely for urban

dwellers, yet the province spends billions on Greater Vancouver’s bridges and rapid transit systems. The folks in Kamloops, Prince George and parts farther north aren’t spending much time on the Coquihalla, yet that didn’t prevent the government of B.C. from investing transport trucks full of cash to give the people of the Okanagan a more direct link to the Fraser Valley. As far as we are concerned the same spirit of courtesy and cooperation should be extended to the residents of the B.C. coast. It has been said so often it has become a cliche, but it still bears repeating: the ferry system is part of B.C.’s highway system and it needs to be treated as

such. Eighty-five per cent of the cost of constant upgrading of the Malahat is not being carried by the citizens of Nanaimo, Comox and Cowichan. Eighty-five per cent of the cost of building and maintaing Glenora Road is not on the shoulders of the residents of Glenora. Why should the residents of Penelakut and Thetis Island be paying such a high share of their only public transportation link? By all means find ways to make the service more efficient. But transportation links are a provincial responsibility. Stop unfairly targeting those who live on an island. – Black Press

Letters

Lighten their wallets I’m not a dog owner, I am a grandparent. Over the Easter weekend my grandchildren, ages 5 and 10, were visiting from Edmonton. Taking advantage of the gorgeous weather, we went for a walk on Saturday morning. On the way home, we planned to stop at the little park on the Old Island Highway at Larwood Road to watch the ocean and talk about the tides. As we approached, I saw a large dog roaming the area – and no owner in sight. Perhaps the owner was down on the beach, however, the dog was definitely not “under control” and had free access to the park, the sidewalk and the road. I was not about to approach the dog with young children in tow so, after waiting on the sidewalk for a few moments to see if the owner would appear, we continued home. If such irresponsible dog owners are inconvenienced by having their pets impounded and their wallets lightened, I’m all for it. Perhaps that will finally drive home the message that the rest of us also have the right to enjoy these public spaces which represent the fruits of our (tax-dollar) labor.

It’s still easy being Green in British Columbia

Tom Fletcher B.C. Views

This is the first of a series of policy commentaries on the four main parties contesting the 2013 B.C. election. I’m starting with the B.C. Green Party, which has higher than usual hopes for the 2013 election. It was also the first to put out a substantial policy document, albeit one that is still being debated and altered. Green Book 2013 continues the Utopian positions that only a party with no chance of forming a government has the luxury to put forward. For example, they would double the area of parks in B.C., but take 100 years to do it. Immediately, they would almost double the carbon tax, taking it from

seven to 12 cents on a litre of gasoline. Greens would extend this steeply increased carbon tax to industries such as natural gas and cement production. Leader Jane Sterk told me she expects cement producers and the like to adapt, rather than shut down as their competitive position erodes. And what about the extra billions in carbon tax revenues? Sterk says most should continue to go to income tax reductions, as is now the case, because the purpose is to change consumption patterns, not to increase overall tax revenue. Most, but not all. “We think there is an argument to

be made for putting, for a period of time, the increased revenue from the carbon tax into creating the infrastructure that allows people to benefit from a carbon tax,” Sterk said. That means transit, and potentially retrofits of homes and other buildings as well. Tax increase aside, this is essentially the NDP position too. The Greens emphasize wind and geothermal power. Sterk faces the awkward task of arguing against hydroelectric expansion. A Green government would cancel the Site C dam project on the Peace River. Sterk says it would only serve as a subsidy to liquefied natural gas exports, which she doesn’t believe

materialize as international competitors develop. The Greens’ star candidate, University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver, agrees. Both point to vast reserves of Russian gas that may well get to Asia more quickly and cheaply. Sterk said the 35,000 existing gas wells in northern B.C. “are not going to be shut down.” Actually, in the absence of LNG exports, that is exactly what would happen to many of them. The U.S. has its own shale gas supplies, and is B.C.’s only current export customer. Converting transport trucks and BC Ferries to LNG fuel isn’t going Continued on A9

OPINION

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 2013 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR |

Fletcher perpetuates factual errors The recent release of a report by the BC Auditor General has led to a vigorous debate on the future of carbon neutral government. As a seller of carbon credits to the Pacific Carbon Trust, the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) looks forward to any clarity that may result in the B.C. carbon market. However, a recent editorial in this newspaper (“Carbon Trust orchestrates campaign to discredit report” by Tom Fletcher, April 3 Mirror), perpetuates

factual errors that fail to inform any debate. Acquisition of a conservation project is the beginning of our work, not the end. When NCC purchased Darkwoods in 2008, our expensive, long-term commitment to the conservation lands began. From the outset, revenue from carbon sales was seen as critical to supporting this stewardship effort. Without the possibility of carbon sales NCC could not have undertaken a project of the size and scope of Darkwoods. Yet,

those facts are conveniently overlooked by Mr. Fletcher. Further he fails to understand the baseline used to calculate stored carbon at Darkwoods. Independent evaluations were not based on the possibility of NCC clear-cutting the property, but rather on what would have happened had NCC not acquired Darkwoods. The alternative to NCC ownership was acquisition by a market-based buyer. The land would have been intensively lo gged and subdi-

vided. The difference between that scenario and the current conserved property forms the basis for carbon valuation. Mr. Fletcher asks, rhetorically if NCC would have logged Darkwoods. “Legally, it could not,” he writes. On the contrary, NCC does log the Darkwoods site. We operate a small, sustainable harvest based on conservation values that supports the property and the community. In fact, overall our ownership of Darkwoods has

resulted in a $13 million economic benefit to the community, to date. The Darkwoods Forest Carbon project was the first of its kind undertaken in Canada. The project is certified under the Verified Carbon Standard; a standard that ensures a carbon project follows inter nationally-recognized protocols and has tangible environmental benefits. The Nature Conservancy of Canada spent three years developing the Continued on A11

Fletcher: Greens lack practicality and consistency Continued from A8 to maintain the vast industry blooming in northern B.C. The official Green Party position is to place a moratorium on B.C. gas drilling while a comprehensive water use policy is developed. C u r r e n t i n n ov a -

tions such as reusing municipal wastewater are ignored. The Green platform also demands disclosure of chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing, which the B.C. Oil and Gas Commission has already done. If one were to design a self-fulfilling proph-

ecy that B.C.’s LNG project is doomed to fail, the Green Party platform would be a good place to start. Reading through Green Book 2013, I’m left with the impression that much of it remains calculated as a soothing message for urban voters who have

been convinced it’s courageous to drive their cars down to an anti-tanker protest. If Weaver, Sterk or any other Greens get elected, it will be surfing a wave of protest votes from people weary of the B.C. Liberals and the NDP. It will not be due to

the practicality or even internal consistency of their polices. It’s still pretty easy being Green. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@ blackpress.ca

Sybil’s legacy lives on The Campbell River Arts Council invites the community to celebrate Sybil Andrews Day on Friday, April 19 from 1:30-4:30 p.m., at the Willow Point Cottage, 2131 South Island Highway. Declared by the City in 2007, April 19 is officially Sybil Andrews Day. Born in Bury St. Edmunds, England, April 19, 1898, Andrews was a graduate of the Grosvenor School of Art, an institution world famous for its promotion of Futurism. Andrews was an early practitioner of linocut printing, a controversial

medium championed by the Grosvenor School. She moved with her husband Walter Morgan to Campbell River in 1947, where she lived up until her death in 1992. She taught art and music in her home for over 40 years. Today her linocut prints are sought after internationally and have reached record prices. The Sybil Andrews Cottage was the first property on Campbell River’s Heritage Registry. On April 19, beginning at 1:30 p.m., the Sybil Andrews Heritage Society will host the community at

Seeing forest for the trees Continued from A9 project, and exercised due diligence at every step while working with various industry experts. The project also fulfilled all provincial regulations and met all standards for Carbon Offsets. More importantly, Darkwoods is a worldclass conservation project. Without revenue from forest carbon, the long-term protection of this vital 55,000 hectare property and the fate of animals and plants that find a haven there would be in jeopardy. The proceeds from the carbon sales went back into the long-term stewardship of Darkwoods—for the sake of nature and the people of British Columbia. Darkwoods ensures in perpetuity, British Columbians will see the magnificent forest for the trees. Tom Swann Associate Regional Vice-President, BC The Nature Conservancy of Canada

Ducks Unlimited Canada and Marine Harvest partner to maintain and enhance wetland habitat Waterfowl and fish have more in common than you might think, and that’s why Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) and Marine Harvest Canada (MHC) have signed a memorandum of understanding to work together to protect important habitat. The partnership allows for information, education and equipment sharing, cooperative investigation and consultation, and technical assistance to increase the capacity for restoration of wetlands in and around the Georgia Basin. “This partnership takes full advantage of our shared expertise and concern for wetland habitat”, says Les Bogdan, director of regional operations for DUC BC and boreal. “It’s a great opportunity to have fish and wildlife

work together. Areas that are important to waterfowl are important to fish too, so these joint projects will be able to have an even greater benefit to the environment.” The MOU spans five years and will include partnerships on things like choosing conservation projects that are beneficial to the goals of both organizations, sharing staff resources for tasks like bird counting and identification, and also MHC’s involvement in some of DUC’s fundraising dinners in the area. “We are very pleased to partner with DUC and looked forward to many years of important collaboration,” says Vincent Erenst, Managing Director at MHC. “Our business of growing salmon relies on maintaining a healthy coastal environment,

and that objective aligns well with the values at DUC.” Marine Harvest Canada (MHC) is BC’s leading salmon aquaculture company with 500 staff raising and processing sustainable salmon certified to the Global Aquaculture Alliance Best Aquaculture Practices. MHC Canada produces one-half of British Columbia’s largest agricultural export - farm-raised salmon. marineharvestcanada.com Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) is the leader in wetland conservation.

Question: What can be done for crooked front teeth?

1X5 1X5

A13

Answer: There are several ways to address crooked front teeth, but it depends on the degree of crowding. Severe crowding is often best treated with orthodontics (braces) to straighten the teeth. Moderate to mild crowding can also be treated with Invisalign, which utilizes clear trays that are custom made and move teeth gradually and gently. This can Dr. Joseph Schafermeyer be done at your family dental office. Another way to change the appearance of teeth is with composites. These are tooth-coloured resin fillings that are bonded to repair decayed, chipped, fractured, or discoloured teeth. They can also be used to close spaces between teeth, make teeth look longer, or change the shape or colour of teeth. They usually last several years, depend on how much bonding was done and oral/biting habits. Other options include porcelain veneers and crowns. These are thin layers of porcelain that are placed and bonded to prepared teeth. They can be used in situations where one wishes to change the shape, colour, or overall appearance of his or her teeth. They are very lifelike and can last for many years with proper care. In order to find out which treatment would work best for you, please speak to your dentist, or call us for an exam or free Invisilign consultation. If you have a question you would like answered please email Carmen@dogwooddental.com

» Hot Tubs

Take care of a cold sore by: • Keep the cold core clean by gently washing with mild soap and water. • Putting an ointment on the cold sore should help from cracking.

Once you buy a hot tub or spa, it may well become an integral part of your lifestyle. Many people use their spas in the evening, before bed. Because spas relax you, relieve tired muscles and aching joints, and ready your body for sleep, they Terry Collins, Owner are excellent sleep aids. Hot tubs are also wonderful family entertainment. Consumer research indicates that parents spend real quality time with their kids in their hot tubs. It’s a chance to relax together, talk, and do something besides sit on the couch and watch television. Spas are also great in social settings and it’s great for personal one-on-one time with your spouse or signiﬁcant other. Once your spa or hot tub is installed and set-up, it’s simple to use. You just pull back the cover, turn on the jets, sink in, and relax. We believe that one massage session will be enough to convince you to use it regularly.

One of the most persistent outdoor garden pests is the Rhodo Weevil, which is part of the root weevil family. Larvas are whitish grubs with black heads. In the larval stage, the weevil grubs chew on roots and soft tissue of plants along soil surface. As adults, weevils chew on leaves and new growth. Leaves attacked by weevils have jagged edges. Growth can be prohibited, as year after year Christa Fernau new growth is damaged. Weevils overwinter in the larval stage, yet turn to pupae as soon as the soil warms up in mid April-early May. By end May-early June, weevils turn to adults where they do the most damage. By then, it is too late to kill them with nematodes. The ideal time to treat for weevils is during the larval (grub) stage so apply Outdoor Nematodes (Lawn + Garden Combo) in late March-early April. As soon as the soil temperature reaches 10 degrees or above, nematodes will be active in the soil. To apply nematodes, soil must be moist before and after application. Nematodes are light sensitive (UV exposure kills them) so early in the morning or after sunset is when nematodes are best applied. In areas where there is a heavy weevil infestation, it is beneﬁcial to do two applications of nematodes, two weeks apart. Call to place your order, and allow one business day for delivery.

Everyone has heard the old adage that “laughter is the best medicine.” In fact, studies have shown that laughing can boost the immune system, reduce food cravings and increase one’s threshold for pain. It’s even known in a therapeutic setting to assist in the healing process of people with chronic conditions. If you can’t remember, then maybe Dean Clark, it’s time to bring more laughter into Physiotherapist your life! Here are some tips that might just get you feeling young at heart. • Laugh With Friends: Going to a movie or comedy club with friends is a great way to get more laughter in your life. • Find Humor In Your Life: Instead of complaining about life’s frustrations, try to laugh about them. If something is so frustrating or depressing it’s ridiculous, realize that you could ‘look back on it and laugh’ • Fake It Until You Make It: Just as studies show the positive effects of smiling occur whether the smile is fake or real, faked laughter also provides the beneﬁts mentioned above.

“A TIRED DOG IS A GOOD DOG” Give your dog the exercise he needs, and he will spend much of his day resting – not chewing, barking, digging, escaping or destroying things. “YOUR REACTIONS Cathy Merrithew AFFECT YOUR DOG’S ACTIONS” If you allow your dog to be rewarded for some action, he’s likely to repeat it. Consciously allow rewards to happen for actions you like, and prevent your dog from getting rewarded by you or the environment for actions you don’t want to encourage. “DOGS DO WHAT WORKS” Dogs will act in ways that they’ve learned are successful, ways that gain them good things and help them avoid bad things. Behavior that is rewarded is going to be repeated.

Diabetes affects many Canadians each year ~ it can lower your resistance to infection & can slow the healing process. The most common oral health problems associated with diabetes are Dr. Kevin Lathangue tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease which leads to tooth loss. When diabetes is not controlled properly, high sugar levels in saliva may help bacteria thrive. Plaque that is not removed can eventually harden (calcify) into calculus.When calculus collects above the gumline, it cannot be removed by brushing.This can create conditions that lead to chronic inflammation and infection in the mouth. Periodontal disease often is linked to the control of diabetes. For example, patients with inadequate blood sugar control appear to develop periodontal disease more often and more severely, and they lose more teeth than do people who have good control of their diabetes. Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning once a day between your teeth with floss and seeing your dentist regularly for an exam will help you to maintain your overall health. 250.287.7343 150 Dogwood St., Campbell River www.dogwooddental.com

Did you know that getting a piercing with a stud gun causes unnecessary damage and pain to your new piercing? The spring loaded gun is forcing an earring Monkey & Ryan Tree through your body. This will cause much more trauma, swelling and pro-long the healing. The earring is also one size fits all, we are not all size fits all. Also the gun can not be sterilized, it only can be sprayed down with antiseptic cleaners. These cleaners will not stop the spread of all blood borne pathogens. A piercing needle is sharp and quick causing much less trauma. The piercing needles are one use. The tools to do the piercing are autoclaved like surgical instruments. This stops all risk of passing diseases. Also the jewelry that is used is made of the same metal used for surgical implants and is picked to fit and accommodated for swelling and body size. With jewelry matched to the size of the needle you have ideal healing conditions to minimize healing time.

With regards to real estate transactions, prior to April 1, 2013 12% HST was payable on new construction, new land, homes that had been substantially renovated and services related to the purchase and sale of Real Estate. As of April 1st BC made Jenna Nichol the change back to the GST/ REALTOR® PST system. With this change you will now only pay 5% GST instead of 12% HST. However there will be a 2 year transition period where an additional 2% transition tax will apply to homes that were 10% or more completed by April 1st, 2013 and where ownership or possession of these homes takes place before April 1st 2015. If you have any questions about this or would like to know about any GST rebates that you may qualify for call Jenna 250.204.6822.

The garden shops and grocery stores are full of gorgeous lilies we love for adding color and decor to our homes, but they may also attract our curious four legged friends, and encourage them to take a closer look. Is this beautiful ﬂower “safe” for our family cat to accidentally demolish? The answer is no. The Easter lily, tiger lily, stargazer lily, Japanese show lily, Asian lily, some species Dr. Peter Woodward of day lily, and certain other members of the Liliaceae family can be fatal if ingested by a cat.All parts of these plants are considered toxic to cats and ingestion of even a tiny amount can cause severe poisoning.Within only a few hours of ingestion, the cat may vomit, become lethargic, or develop a lack of appetite. These signs continue and worsen as kidney damage progresses.Without prompt and proper treatment, the cat will develop kidney failure in approximately 36 to 72 hours. If you suspect your cat has potentially eaten any part of your lilies, please seek your Family Veterinarian immediately. Don’t hesitate to call even if symptoms have not developed. If you are unsure about your household plants, curious which plants you can keep and which are toxic, please call your Veterinarian; don’t trust Dr. Google.

Experts’ Advice What is an RDSP? An RDSP is a Registered Disability Savings Plan. If you fulfill the criteria, an RDSP is an excellent way to save for the future. Depending on Peter Garat income the government may Certified Financial Planner deposit a Disability Savings Bonds and/or Disability Savings Grants to help the plan grow. The investment income earned in the plan accumulates tax-free. Plus, in BC, when the beneficiary of an RDSP starts taking income from it, there are no clawbacks to disability or government assistance payments. These can be complicated to set up, but well worth the effort. Contact our office for more information and to see if you qualify.

The good news for seniors -- you receive a variety of tax assisted bene¿ts and tax credits from the federal government that are not available to others. The not-so-good-news is that these bene¿ts are incometested and that can result in clawbacks from Old Age Security (OAS) payments and the Age Credit. OAS is a monthly bene¿t available to most Canadians age 65 or older. You will be required to repay 15% of the amount by which your net income for 2012 – which includes your OAS bene¿t – exceeds $69,562. When your net income exceeds $112,966, your entire OAS bene¿t is clawed back. Age Credit is a nonrefundable tax credit available to Canadians age 65 or older. For 2012, the maximum amount you can claim as an Age Credit is $6,720. This amount is reduced by 15% of your net taxable income in excess of $33,884 is totally gone when your taxable income reaches $78,684. You can avoid OAS and Age Credit clawbacks by keeping your taxable income to the absolute minimum required to meet your needs. Here

• Pension income splitting You can allocate up to 50% of ‘eligible pension income’ – including payments from your investments held within a Registered Pension Plan (RPP) (at any age) and Registered Retirement Income (RRIF) (at/after age 65) to your lower earning spouse, which usually reduces your family’s overall tax bill and clawbacks.

are not taxable, so do not result in clawbacks. • Seek non-registered investments that offer preferential tax treatment Only 50% of the capital gains generated by equity investments are taxable income, which may result in less of your income being subject to clawbacks. Another strategy to consider is tax-advantaged or switch funds that allow you to buy and sell investments without paying capital gains taxes until you leave the fund structure – so you can choose to defer tax payments to a year when your income is lower.

• Other income-splitting INVESTORS GROUP strategies You can gift or loan assets to your spouse for investment purposes, contribute to investments held within a spousal RRSP (if your spouse is under age 71), and/or change who pays for daily living expenses and who invests. • Withdraw the minimum for your RRIF Withdrawals from investments held within a RRIF are fully taxable, so consider withdrawing only the minimum each year. If you have a younger spouse, base your withdrawals on their age – this will produce a smaller minimum withdrawal. Invest in TFSAs Contributions to Tax-Free Savings Accounts (“TFSA”) generate tax-free investment income. TFSA withdrawals

The right strategies can de¿nitely help you avoid clawbacks, reduce your tax burden and preserve your wealth. But to avoid falling afoul of complex tax rules, talk to your professional advisor ¿rst.

composer, Timothy Corlis. While the text is traditional, the score conveys the strong message that peace between diverse cultures and peoples requires understanding and acceptance of differences… differences that convey the beauty within that diversity. Composed in 2009, the Missa Pax has already established a strong track record with mid-concert ovations both at the Elora Festival and at the prestigious Festival of the Sound. Reviewer Steven Preece described the piece after its premier as “conjuring of heavenly radiance”, “fantastically cathartic”, and possessing an “emotional authenticity irresistible to the listener.” Tickets for the concert in Campbell River are available for $15 from Coho Books, the Immigrant Welcome Centre/MISA at 740 Robron, or from the Campbell River United Church office.

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

Above, one woman slows down for a swig of H20 around the four kilometre mark of the Merville 15 K race last weekend. Below, runners were flying in the breeze.

A team of runners enjoyed the conditions and the course at the Merville 15 K – the second to last race of the Frontrunners Island Series. Sunday’s race through the back roads of Merville was hosted by Campbell River’s running club, the River Runners.

Runners tear it up in Merville 15K The seventh race in the Frontrunners Island Race Series, the Merville 15K, took place last Sunday. Hosted by the River Runners of Campbell River, the race was won by Nick Walker. There were 345 finishers. Walker (Frontrunners) of Victoria put in an impressive performance to win in 50:12. Second was Derek Vinge (PT Performance Training) in 51:19 and third was C a m p b e l l R ive r ’s

M a rk C r yd e r m a n (River Runners) in 51:29. Cryderman was also the top male Master. “The race went very well for me,” Walker said. “I wanted to hold a steady pace that I could keep my turn-over quick and not stress the body too much. I am training for my first marathon coming up on May 5 in Vancouver and wanted to get another strong effort in my last couple weeks of training. I was really happy with my time and how

Campbell River

I felt, and am looking forward to Sooke 10K in two weeks.” The women’s race was won by Cheryl Davies of Nanaimo (Bastion Running Club) in 1:02:43, second was Jayne Struch in 1:03:29, and third was Lindsey Chamberlain in 1:03:33. Top female Master was Yanna Debelic in 1:04:48. The men’s sprint race was won by Jerry Loeb in 11:46 with Allison Roberts winning the female sprint in 14:87. “We were favoured by the weather and

good race conditions,” said Linda Nagle, race director. “There were some great performances today including an age g roup record set by Diane Palmason in the F7579 category. She broke a 10 year record and was faster by nine minutes, finishing in 1:42:19.” After seven races Prairie Inn Harriers lead the Island Series club standings, with Bastion Running Club second and Comox Valley Road Runners third. With one race

to go Geoff Martinson and Jen Millar lead the individual standings. Eight races make up the Frontrunners Island Race Series. Merville 15K will be followed by the final race - Sooke River 10K on April 21. All races are sanctioned by BC Athletics. Registration is now online at www.vira.bc.ca. Historical results from races dating back to 1980 from previous race series can be seen on www.pih. bc.ca

Mt. Washington ski club to host coast zone finals

Podium kids shoot for sport Podium of Life Snowsports Academy students learned to shoot guns as part of biathlon training. Vancouver Island Biathlon club offered a day of training for the students. In partnership with

the Vancouver Island Mountain Centre, students were shown what a biathlon race was all about. Students were given all the instructions on how to shoot, then they raced each other.

“They loved this experience,” says their teacher, Shane Harle. “It is such a great feeling being able to offer these unique opportunities to students. Next week we are taking the kids geocaching in the

Double slalom On Saturday Mount Washington holds a Dual Panel Slalom

and all racers are guaranteed two runs (weather per mitting). This new event proves to be an exciting one and a new format for BC Alpine. Two racers go headto-head on separate, side-by-side courses that are set next to each other. In this type of race, the course is often modified so there are jumps in the course, like in freestyle ski events. The dual slalom is exciting as there is a winner after each run with two racers while in a traditional slalom race you have to wait until every racer has had their run to determine the winner. The dual event is

typically set up as an elimination event, where racers are paired up and the winner advances to the next round. There are several rounds, depending upon the number of racers in the field, and the racer who advances to and wins the final round is the overall winner. In this type of race the tension builds as the field narrows towards the final round. On Sunday, there will be a two-run slalom race for U14 & above as well as two races for U12. Come out, enjoy the sunshine, the last race of the season and watch some incredible youth sport in action.

Dillan Glennie, Podium of Life student, takes aim on the biathlon range.

The Mount Washington Ski Club will host the TECK Coast Zone Finals Ski Race for U12, U14, U16 and U18 on Whiskey Jack, just above the main lodge at Mount Washington, this weekend. It will be the last racing event of the 2012/2013 winter season up at Mount Washington. More than 100 competitors will travel from all Coastal Ski Clubs including Whistler/Blackcomb, Cypress, Grouse, Seymour, Hemlock and others to take part.

Celebrate the importance of Campbell River’s volunteers

Take Us With You

Far, far away Judy and Sterling Campbell took the Mirror with them to a centuries-old Berber village in the Atlas Mountains in Morocco. Most people living here have not gone anywhere outside of the 20 km. village.

Compost Education Centres open doors this week

The Comox Strathcona waste management (CSWM) service will open the compost education centre in Campbell River (228 South Dogwood Street) today at 10 a.m. The compost education centre offers a variety of free work-

shops on composting, organic gardening, conservation and lawn care. The on-site educators are there to provide facility tours, to showcase the benefits of diverting organics through composting, to answer questions and to give helpful

tips on maintaining a backyard composting program. The centre is beginning the season with a variety of programs targeting different age groups and areas of interest. In Campbell River, the event season will start

During National Volunteer Week, Volunteer Campbell River will be celebrating and recognizing the incredible efforts of local volunteers. To give you an example of just how important the contributions of volunteers are to our member agencies, look at the Campbell River Girl Guides of Canada (GGC), an organization built on the dedication and skills of volunteers. GGC participated in a survey designed by Volunteer Campbell River. GGC volunteers

empower girls and themselves with the skills and abilities to face challenges with confidence. Their goal is to increase girls’ awareness about the wider world, promote crosscultural understanding and educate girls on global issues that will inspire them to take action. In Campbell River, the absence of volunteers would affect over 200 girls, who, as a result, would not be as well prepared as they could be to face the challenges in their

lives. Volunteers, come and join the volunteer appreciation celebration on Saturday, April 27 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Campbell River Common Shopping Centre. Volunteer Campbell River is hosting the event. Meet your fellow volunteers and learn about some of the local member agencies and what they have to offer. There will be free snacks and drinks, volunteer appreciation gifts and a volunteer raffle.

this Saturday with the compost education centre centre jointly hosting a mason bee workshop with the City of Campbell River at the community centre, 401-11th Ave., beginning at 10 a.m. Guest speaker, Al Morton, will cover such topics

as the lifestyle of our native mason bee and the importance of pollination, how, when and where to start to start your bee colony, and the building of bee houses, nesting boxes and nesting tubes. CSWM educator Elaine Jansen will welcome

guests to the compost education centre and give an overview of the programs that are being offered throughout the season. For more information on all the workshops and presentations visit www.cswm. ca/composting.
