Logger killed at dryland sort

PAUL RUDAN/THE MIRROR

An incredible life

A Campbell River logger was killed Monday while working on West Thurlow Island. The BC Coroners Service reported that Mark Allen Eric Dube, 59, was killed after being struck by a log shortly before 5 p.m. Dube was working at a Knox Bay dryland timber sort, located east of Campbell River in the Discovery Islands group, when he was struck by a log and pronounced dead at the scene. His death remains under investigation by the BC Coroners Service and Worksafe BC. No other details were released.

Crown prosecutors will decide if a Campbell River Mountie will be charged in connection with a collision involving a police

cruiser. This week the provincial Independent Investigations Office submitted a report to Crown counsel regarding the Dec. 2, 2012 collision in which a motorcyclist was seriously injured.

Shelter decision deferred KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

City council will meet with the BC SPCA to discuss bringing the animal welfare organization back to Campbell River. Council was slated to award the city’s pound services contract to Coastal Animal Control at Tuesday night’s council meeting but held of f after an intense public backlash which included a rally outside city hall last week that drew about 400 people. On Tuesday, more than 100 people packed into city hall for the council meeting to show their support for the SPCA. Mayor Walter Jakeway began by reading a letter from SPCA chief executive officer Craig Daniell asking city council to reconsider its decision to award the city’s animal pound contract to Coastal Animal Control. Council planned to give the pound contract to Coastal after the SPCA said it could not afford to continue

its operations because council had previously taken the city’s animal control contract away from the SPCA. It was given to Coastal Animal Control which provided the city with a less expensive quote for the service. “Although the BC SPCA was not awarded the city’s animal control services contract, its animal welfare and adoption services play an important role and an effort should be made to assist the SPCA to maintain its presence in our community,” Jakeway said. “I would therefore recommend city council accept Mr.Daniell’s offer to meet as soon as possible to determine if a mutual solution is possible.” The BC SPCA wrote on its Facebook page after Tuesday’s meeting that it was pleased council is willing to meet. “The BC SPCA is extremely pleased that the decision regarding the pound services contract has been deferred and we are excited to meet with the city to

continue discussions regarding the future role of the SPCA in Campbell River,” said the posting. “We are overwhelmed by the amazing people of Campbell River – thank you for your support.” Daniell wrote a letter to council last Thursday, asking the mayor and councillors to meet with the SPCA and come to some sort of an arrangement, though the SPCA did not change its quote for animal welfare services. “The BC SPCA is of the decision that it is not too late for council to re-examine its decision,” Daniell wrote. “It is apparent that our position is shared by an overwhelming majority of residents in the City of Campbell River. “For the record, we are committed to a presence and a longterm solution to animal services in Campbell River and are willing to work with the city to achieve this end. “We renew our offer to provide full animal sheltering services

for the city as per our original offer of $95,000 per annum, an amount which I may add would be approximately one quarter of the nearly $40,000 per annum it cost the BC SPCA to operate the Campbell River shelter,” Daniell said. Coun. Andy Adams agreed the city should meet with Daniell, as the loss of the SPCA has taken a toll. “It’s been extremely disheartening,” Adams said. “And the information has been suspect at best coming from both sides. All of the information coming from city council and staff has been met with mistrust.” Adams suggested two members of the public sit in on the meetings. Veterinarian Helen Kwo n g a n d S P C A supporter Cyriel DeBruyne have been chosen to sit in on the meeting which is expected to take place this Tuesday, 11 a.m. at city hall. Kwong is asking all SPCA supporters to attend a rally at city hall at the same time.

Animal lovers swarm council meeting KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Hundreds of animal lovers flooded city hall for Tuesday night’s council meeting to show their support for the SPCA. Although the council chambers quickly reached its 90-person capacity, that didn’t stop at least 50 more from standing outside in the lobby to listen in on the proceedings. One woman, Sharon Dean, along with her daughter Heidi Dean, circulated T-shirts with an ironed on graphic that bore a bright red X through the words City of Campbell River Pound – a swipe at

Coastal Animal Control’s facility in the former SPCA shelter. Local veterinarian Helen Kwong, at the request of Coun. Larry Samson, was permitted to speak to council as a late addition to the list of delegations. Kwong came down to the speaker’s table to a round of applause from the gallery. She stressed the importance of the SPCA to the community. “I think Coastal Animal Services offers a valuable service to Campbell River in the role of animal control but in an animal welfare role, there’s no comparison to the SPCA which has been an integral Continued on A5

Council gets a rundown on new hospital plans KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The Vancouver Island Health Authority plans to move into the new Campbell River hospital in late fall 2017. Tom Sparrow, chief project officer of the North Island Hospitals Project, gave a 30-minute presentation to city council at Tuesday night’s meeting to give an update on new hospitals for both Campbell River and the Comox Valley. The winning company is expected to be awarded the hospital construction contract next February and a ground breaking ceremony is expected in

either late March or early April 2017. The project is estimated to be complete around March or April 2017. The new, $266 million hospital will be built on the current hospital site on 2nd Avenue and is expected to be 22,657 square metres in size and have 95 beds. Sparrow said that represents a 69 per cent growth over the existing Campbell River Hospital. The new facility will also boast a Centre of Excellence for Aboriginal Maternal Health, as well as a UBC (University of British Columbia) learning centre. “There will be a UBC academic program that will enable residents to

finish up their residencies in the Comox Valley and here in Campbell River,” Sparrow said. Other changes will include more singlepatient rooms with their own bathroom and hand-wash station, in an effort to stop the spread of infection. The emergency room is expected to be three times larger than the existing one and the hospital will have four operating rooms, 12 surgical day care suites, and five procedure rooms. Sparrow said each room will be “much, much larger than the existing rooms”. There will also be 72 in-patient units, six intensive care

units, three pediatric units, and seven maternity rooms for women who will be able to go through labour, give birth, and recover all in one room that will allow for the baby and mother’s partner to stay together during the mother’s hospital stay. Parking will also change, with an underground parkade to raise the total to 450 parking spots. VIHA has be gun cl e a r i n g t h e a re a behind Yucalta Lodge, just off 2nd Avenue, in order to create a 140space parking lot for staff and visitors. Sparrow also touched on the public-private par tnership model under which the hos-

SPCA: Call for more transparancy in contract process Continued from A3 part of our community for 30 years,” Kwong began. “They provide sheltering services, and adopt out homeless and abandoned animals, have a low cost spay and neutering program, after hours rescue, summer camps, school programs. It’s not uncommon for the majority of our community’s children to donate their birthday funds to the BC SPCA and often a child’s first volunteer experience is with the SPCA.” Kwong also noted that Coastal Animal Control is mainly charged with deal-

ing solely with dogs, notably nuisance dogs or lost dogs, but will not deal with animal cruelty complaints or abandoned animals as the SPCA does. “What will happen to the 800 cats processed by the SPCA yearly?” Kwong questioned. “The SPCA is asking for $95,000 to operate their shelter and it costs $400,000 to operate the shelter annually – that seems like a pretty good investment to me.” Kwong finished her presentation to another round of applause and a standing ovation from SPCA supporters.

Coun. Samson asked Kwong for suggestions on how to engage the community to raise the necessary funds that the SPCA needs. BC SPCA Chief Executive Officer Craig Daniell said the Campbell River branch loses $10,000 each year in operating costs. Kwong said there needs to be more transparency. “My answer is communication,” she said. “If the community had known the SPCA was in such dire circumstances and had known council hadn’t budgeted enough, the c o m m u n i t y wo u l d

have come up with the money. All you had to do was tell us.” That prompted people in the gallery to get up on their feet once more as Kwong walked back to her seat. Council chose to defer awarding the animal shelter contract to Coastal Animal Control and will meet with Daniell this Tuesday mor ning to discuss p o t e n t i a l ly b r i n g ing the SPCA back to Campbell River. Kwong and SPCA supporter Cyriel DeBruyne were also selected by council to sit in on the meeting as public representatives.

pital will operate. Under the P3 model, VIHA will own the building and the property, but a private company will be in charge of maintaining the facility for 30 years. “It transfers a lot of the risk around scheduling, cost, life cycle, design, and completion to a private company,” Sparrow said of the P3 structure. “VIHA will have 100 per cent of the

responsibility for clinical programs, laundry services, and probably housekeeping services on site.” In terms of business oppor tunities, the project is expected to create 2,000 direct jobs and more than 1,400 indirect jobs. VIHA is working closely with the Campbell River Chamber of Commerce and will share project information on

the Chamber’s Major Projects Portal at: cr.majorprojects.ca There will also be a business speed dating session May 27 in Campbell River to give businesses an opportunity to meet with the three proponents in the running for the hospital job – Arbutus Healthcare Partners, Plenary Health, and Tandem Health Partners.

RCMP: Independent investigation Continued from A1

police cruiser. The man suffered serious head injuries and was taken by ambulance to hospital. The man’s name has not been released and there’s been no update on his condition. Due to the serious nature of his injuries, local Mounties turned the accident inquiry over to the Independent Investigations Office which conducted interviews and examined evidence. The office conducts criminal investigations into incidents that involve B.C. police officers that result in death or serious harm. On Wednesday, chief civilian director Richard Rosenthal sub-

mitted his report to the Crown. According to the news release from the office, reports are submitted to Crown counsel: “...the chief civilian director considers that an officer may have committed an offence…[but] does not make a recommendation on if or what charges he believes Crown counsel should consider. Crown counsel maintains full jurisdiction over the charge assessment and charge approval process.” The office offered no other comment and a spokesperson for the Campbell River RCMP was also unable to comment. There’s also been no word on whether the motorcyclist has been charged with any offences.

COMMUNITY UPDATE APRIL 12, 2013

City councillor suggests regional district take over animal control function River branch ceasing its operations over the Easter weekend, there is currently no SPCA north of the Comox Valley. The SPCA had been contracted out by the city to provide animal control services for the past 30 years. Last year the SPCA received $167,000 to provide both animal enforcement and animal shelter services. The SPCA also received free use of the city-owned shelter building, and additional support valued at almost $30,000 which included use of a van and other operations assistance. While the regional district as a whole did not fund the SPCA, electoral Area D (Oyster Bay-Buttle Lake) did provide annual funding. Brenda Leigh, director for Area D, said her area has made annual contributions “to the SPCA of $59,000 in both 2012 and 2013 and similar financial support throughout the years for the SPCA since January 20, 1983.” Leigh noted that Area D dog owners also purchase licences for their dogs. Leigh was sorry to see the SPCA leave because of city council’s decision to award the the animal enforcement contract to Coastal Animal Control.

Liquor store proposed for apartment building KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A property owner wants to build a residential complex like no other in the city. While there’s nothing unusual about building a new apartment building, it’s what is being proposed for the ground floor that has some neighbours raising their eyebrows. Derik Pallan, owner of a vacant lot at 1054 South Island Highway, has plans to build a five-storey, eight unit apartment building with a 278 metre squared liquor store below. Chris Osborne, the city’s planner, said city staff support the project for a number of reasons. “The development concept is for a mixed use building accommodating a liquor store at the ground floor level with apartments above,” Osborne said in a report to council.

“The site, accessed directly from Island Highway, is adjacent to the Big Rock Motel and close to the Husky gas station and boat launch. The number of vehicle trips projected to be generated by the proposed use would not have any significant impact above the existing baseline of traffic volume along Island Highway.” The project also supports the city’s goals in the Sustainable Official Community Plan. “With specific relevance to the proposal for a liquor store at ground level with residential apartments above, the OCP (Official Community Plan) supports residential densification and also seeks to provide for new commercial developments; particularly those designed to serve residents and tourists. Mixed use developments are also supported.” But Norma and Mary

Lewis, Nanaimo residents who own property at 1109 and 1131 South Island Highway in Campbell River, said in a letter to city council that the majority of attendees at a public meeting held by the builder are opposed to a liquor store at the proposed location. “Introducing a liquor store at this location would significantly increase traffic issues on an already challeng ed por tion of Highway 19A,” wrote John Lewis, on behalf of Norma and Mary Lewis. “Rich Stephens (agent for Pallan) described the development, if approved, may require an additional south bound pull-out lane to address traffic concerns. We understand there are plans to modernize and expand utilization of the adjacent city-owned boat launching facility. It is reasonable to assume that this would further contribute to traffic

congestion and associated issues, including beach parties with handy access to a liquor store.” The Lewises also questioned whether Campbell River needs or wants a liquor store at that location when there are others nearby. “A government liquor store in Willow Point is only 1.9 kilometres away, a neighbourhood pub (Freddie’s Pub at the Best Western) is only 1.3 kilometres away and the Willows Neighbourhood Pub is 1.7 kilometres away,” John Lewis wrote. “At the end of the day, does this proposal really represent the best interests for future development of Campbell River’s wonderful waterfront? We think not.” The proposal will go to a public hearing, likely on April 23, for council to hear submissions in favour or opposed to the project.

Beaver at Big Rock Sheri Hayward and her son Morgan got a big surprise last week when they spotted a very tired beaver at Big Rock. They drove home and phoned Mountainaire Avian Rescue who came and picked up the water-logged little guy. When beavers venture into the ocean, they can sometimes get salt water into their lungs. He will be relocated after he has been re-hydrated. Meanwhile, Morgan was inspired to write a song about the lost rodent.

Financing provincial elections A number of organizations and political parties are taking aim at the financing of political parties, citing the release last week of information about funds raised by the BC Liberals and the NDP. We say: A limit on NDP leader Adrian Dix has donations would agreed with Integrity B.C., an election watchdog group, the BC work better than Conservative Party, the Green Party and independent MLAs that there an outright ban should be a ban on donations from businesses and unions to political campaigns. This would bring B.C. into line with the federal government and most other provinces.

Is this really best for democracy? Independent MLA Bob Simpson says that organizations giving donations to parties “buys access” and is at odds with one person, one vote. If there were no donations to parties from businesses and unions, would that limit political advertising? Not likely. Unions like the B.C. Teachers Federation have spent millions in advocacy ads over the years, and are doing so now. It is unlikely that any ban on donations would extend to advocacy ads, given that it would be unlikely to survive a court challenge. A limit on donations from an individual business

or union to a party, and a law that would prevent that organization from making simultaneous donations to individual candidates to try to get around the limit, would be sufficient in limiting the influence of any one donor. Businesses, unions, advocacy groups and individuals should be free to donate to political parties. Democracy is a battle of ideas, and getting ideas out into the public square requires money and effort. No one should be able to buy an election. Individuals, groups and businesses should be able to fully participate. – Black Press

Be in the driver’s seat With British Columbians buying or leasing an estimated 500,000 motor vehicles each year (representing some $10 billion in sales), the Ministry of Justice, Consumer Protection BC and the Motor Vehicle Sales Authority of BC (VSA) have come together to share important tips with those consumers who are in the market to purchase a new or used vehicle. Consumer Awareness Week (March 15-22) was proclaimed with the goal of helping B.C. consumers know and understand their rights on a number of current marketplace issues under the theme “Take Five”, representing not only the number of tips released per day, but also the need for consumers to pause before making any purchasing decision. Consumer Tips for Buying a Vehicle in B.C.: 1. Buy from a licensed dealer. Those looking to buy or lease a new vehicle should work with a licensed dealer. Consumers have few protections when buying through a private seller or a curber (an unlicensed dealer posing as a private seller). Search for a licensed dealer on the VSA website at: mdcbc.amsasp.com/PublicSearch 2. Get everything in writing.

Network of literacy coordinators reeling from cuts Filed for publication with the Mirror Don MacRae, B.C. Minister of Education, I’m sure you are already most acutely aware of the distress many of your B.C. communities are facing as they struggle to meet the reality of the Literacy Coordination funding cuts that have recently been announced. I write this letter to thank you for your recent promises to find a way to restore the needed funding, and to add my voice to those who have already contacted you with concern as to the future of this province if literacy funding cuts are allowed to happen, and

indeed, if literacy funding is not increased. Since receiving the news of the funding cuts, the strong network of literacy coordinators in B.C. has been reeling and divided, left scrambling to find a way to reconnect and grow stronger. Your statements as to the likelihood of your ability to find restored and perhaps even increased funding for literacy initiatives across the province are what has provided a glimmer of hope for us to continue working toward. Because of our already limited coordination funding, Cortes Literacy Outreach has focused on one broad literacy topic per year.

Currently the focus is on youth literacy. Within that broad focus, and given the size of our Island and limited resources, we’ve had some great successes. Our Young Writers programming has gone very well. Last year we held an 18-week essaywriting workshop series for youth. Our current workshop Spring series is for youth aged 10- 16. We have two instructors lined up, one teaching creative writing, and the other teaching Zine-making. Space has been donated for these workshops to be held, which is reflective of the community support here for literacy and youth programming.

We’ve received private funding to award $100 cash prizes each to the multiple winners of our Young Writers’ contest, which was held for the second time in 2012, and currently has cash prize money through to 2015. Each participant in the contest gets public community recognition, as well as their work published and made available for anyone to read. I’ve talked to one of the mothers of a young man who participated in the contest last year, and she said that since the contest he has become quite serious about wanting to write regularly. He has taken his short story that he entered in the contest, and is now

turning it into a much-longer chaptered tale. When he has finished his homework, he has been asking his mom, “Can I work more on my story writing?” This Winter, Cortes Literacy assisted Peregrine publishers out of Campbell River to hold a book launch with readings from many local Cortesian authors. It was a very well-attended evening, despite the rain. Such interest in author readings, and a recent 247 per cent increase in community members connecting with Cortes Literacy on Facebook, is indicative of the community desire for literacy events and programContinued on A9

Car buying: Buy your vehicle from a licencsed dealer Continued from A8 understand the terms of the transaction and check that all details are documented in your deposit agreement, purchase agreement and warranty contract. This can include deposit terms, additional fees, options, extras and promises,

and warranty coverage and limits. Always read the fine print of any agreement. 3. Know how to spot a curber. Unlicensed dealers posing as private sellers can be a real risk as they do not follow gover nmentmandated regulations, which are in place to protect the consumer.

If you see the same tele phone number repeated for different vehicles in newspaper ads or online, be aware that the seller may be a curber. The VSA has compiled a list of known unlicensed dealers available here:www. mvsabc.com/knownunlicensed-dealers/

consumers/knownunlicensed-dealers 4 . Get appropriate inspections and reports. If purchasing a used vehicle, ensure you receive recent mechanical inspection and vehicle history reports. These important documents will indicate the vehicle’s current condition, lien

status, accident history and more. 5. Know where to get help. For more information about consumers’ rights and responsibilities when purchasing a car in British Columbia, visit the VSA online at - www. vehiclesalesauthority. com -or call toll-free 1 877 294-9889.

Literacy: Even a small amount of funding would help Continued from A8 ming. Upcoming Literacy projects include: in conjunction with other community organizations, helping to fund two First Aid courses, one for teens and the other for adults; strengthening the Teen Szene’s library; and helping to fund training for front-line staff who are working with youth on Cortes. Without future funding, this sort of work will not be possible. Cortes Literacy has

been meeting with other community groups and initiatives to strengthen relationships and discuss grant-writing collaborations. These collaborative ties and relationships such as with the private funders of the Young Writers contest are what stand to be lost with the funding cuts on the table here. When our funding for the administrative outreach coordination is taken away, an island community like

Cortes then has very little chance to find more funding. Even if funding is able to be distributed again in a year or two, the new LOC will have to rebuild all those bridges again at that time. Even a small amount of funding would help to keep those relationships and existing programming going, which in turn would help make grantwriting a more viable option, since private grantors look for com-

munity connections and support. I appreciate the work you do and the value that I know you place on literacy in communities. I’m sure you already know the statistics, such as that a one per cent increase in literacy levels across Canada would result in increased worker productivity to the the tune of an estimated $32 billion added to the annual GDP. As a public representative of all of us in B.C. and

here on Cortes, please remember the essential need for literacy funding in all communities across B.C., and fulfill your promise to restore cut funding, as well as work towards increasing literacy funding in the future. We are counting on you. With sincere thanks and written on behalf of the Cortes Island Literacy Task Group, Susanna Bonner Literacy Outreach Coordinator, Cortes Island

Clark to air half-hour TV talk TOM FLETCHER BLACK PRESS

CKNW radio is hosting a leaders’ debate at 9 a.m. on Friday, April 26. Invited to take part are B.C. Liberal leader Christy Clark, NDP leader Adrian Dix, Green Party leader Jane Sterk and B.C.

compared to 28 per cent for the B.C. Liberals. The Green Party was supported by 15 per cent, with 10 per cent backing the B.C. Conservatives. Insights West president Steve Mossop said the poll shows 25 per cent of undecided voters are leaning towards the B.C. Liberals, with 20 per cent leaning NDP.

Clark has also emphasized her commitment to develop liquefied natural gas exports

from the B.C. North Coast, a project that has attracted global investment. Spending and deficits are another focus of the campaign. The B.C. Liberals tabled a balanced budget in March, which the NDP claim has understated spending and overstated revenues to the tune of a $790 million deficit.

Earth Week film explores the threat plastic poses A

re you overwhelmed by the amount of plastic in your life? This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feature film at the Earth Week Film Festival might just inspire you to make change. The City of Campbell River and School District 72 are gearing up for the annual Earth Week Film Festival on April 19 at the Tidemark Theatre. The eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feature film Bag it, is an award winning documentary that delves into the impacts of plastic on human health and the environment. Plastic is everywhere and infiltrates our lives in unimaginable ways. In this touching and often flat-out-funny film, we follow â&#x20AC;&#x153;everymanâ&#x20AC;?

Jeb Berrier, who is admittedly not a tree hugger, as he embarks on a global tour to unravel the complexities of our plastic world. This single-use mentality has led to the formation of a floating island of plastic debris that continues to grow in the Pacific Ocean. The film also explores how plastic threatens not only waterways and marine life, but human health, too. Film producer Jeb Berrier highlights his concerns about two of the most common plastic additives are endocrine disruptors, which have been shown to link to cancer, diabetes, autism, attention deficit disorder, obesity and infertility.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bag it is funny, inspiring, and educational,â&#x20AC;? says Amy van den Hooven, the Earth Week film festival coordinator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that this film helps us recognize the importance of reducing the amount of plastic that we use and creative alternatives.â&#x20AC;? The evening will also feature student films and the highly entertaining 2012 Compost Video Challenge, which follows six Campbell River families as they compete to reduce their waste and capture video footage that will inspire other people to start composting. City representatives and community environmental groups will be on hand to share information about composting, recycling,

and other green initiatives taking place in Campbell River. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a great event for families, students, and community members of all ages,â&#x20AC;? says councilor Ryan Mennie, who will be Emcee for the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is an opportunity to celebrate Earth Week and learn about ways that we can make a positive difference in our community.â&#x20AC;? Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the film begins at 7 p.m. on Friday, April 19 at the Tidemark Theatre. Admission is by donation, with proceeds going to support student environmental projects. Tickets are available on a first come first serve basis at the Tidemark Theatre.

City employee Amy van den Hooven is encouraging everyone to learn about the impact plastic has on our marine environment by taking in the Earth Week Film Festival showing of Bag It.

soms just in time for the hummers’ return from southern wintering grounds. “Gooseberries have prickles. Currants do not.” This native perennial stays true to the old adage by bearing no thorns. Diminutive, beautifully-formed (7-10 mm) blossoms hang in drooping clusters, while its five-lobed leaves resembling chubby foliage fingers make for easy plant identification. All currants have

flowers, but only Ribes sanguineum deserves the colour as part of its common name. The Latin ‘sanguineum’ means ‘blood-red’, although the blossoms display a range of shades from fiery carmine (in sunny locales) to blush-pink (in the shade). In 1827, plant-hunter and explorer David Douglas documented this “exceedingly handsome plant” and the seeds he brought back to England more than paid the entire

cost of his two-year expedition (Lewis J. Clark). Domestic gardeners consider red-flowering currant a premier ornamental shrub, and one which will grow to heights of one to three metres. If found outside of parkland, a few cuttings will root readily in sand, but otherwise, buy from a native plant nursery to preserve the wild treasure. E-mail Christine at: wildernesswest@shaw. ca.

Campbell Riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Energy Challenge begins C

ompetition is brewing among five Campbell River families vying to reduce their power bill and get a chance to win a $1,500 home energy retrofit. The 30-day realityTV style video contest began April 6 and has families competing to knock back energy consumption in their home, share tips with the community, and keep us all entertained with their video footage. Contestants in the City of Campbell River and BC Hydroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Power Down home energy challenge include the BellwoodBehan, Klein, Loeb, Millward, and Seldon families. The families were selected by a panel of judges from BC Hydro and local media. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We watched many great interviews with Campbell River families, and it was a tough decision. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve selected five families that are eager to lower their monthly energy bills and inspire oth-

ers to save energy by sharing their journeys, and will likely keep us entertained along the way,â&#x20AC;? says Breana Morgan, one of the Energy Challenge judges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really excited to watch the progress of each family over the 30-day period.â&#x20AC;? Each family will film their tips, tricks and attempts to conserve energy over a 30-day period ending on May 4. Some participants have tried to save energy before, while for others, learning to turn off lights and turn down the thermostat is a whole new way of life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that it is important for my kids to learn about energy conservation at a young age, and this challenge is the perfect opportunity to teach them,â&#x20AC;? says Alana Millward, one of the Energy Challenge participants. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who knows? Maybe theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll become better at turning the lights off than mom and dad.â&#x20AC;? Family contestants

will be scored based on creativity, entertainment value, and their energy use over the challenge period. Video footage that each family captures will be used to make a professionallyproduced film to be featured on Shaw TV, Youtube, in Campbell River schools, and at 2014 community film festivals, including the Earth Week Film Festival. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The goal of the challenge is for people to see that saving energy can be fun, and good for the environment and our wallets,â&#x20AC;? says Amy van den Hooven, the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Energy Challenge Coordinator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Approximately 23 per cent of green house gas emissions produced in Campbell River come from buildings. This initiative will help educate people about ways that they can reduce energy consumption in their homes.â&#x20AC;? To watch the five families tell Campbell River their energy conservation stories

The Seldon family is one of five vying to reduce their power bill and win a $1,500 home energy retrofit.

erville’s music house is at it again, this time clearing the furniture for a lively night of Celtic music and dance. Gardeners Green Folk Music Club is hosting a house concert for the Jocelyn Pettit Band from Vancouver, on Saturday, April 20 at 7 pm in Merville. With grace and passion, vibrant fiddler, stepdancer, singer,

and composer, 18-yearold Jocelyn Pettit has ignited stages across Canada, the US, Scotland, and Malaysia with her lively Celtic music and dance. First inspired by the driving energy of Cape Breton fiddling, and further drawn to explore the musical culture of Québec, Scotland, Ireland, Brittany, and Galicia, Pettit has embraced her love for Canadian and Celtic traditions and created a spirited style of her own. Pettit has appeared on national television and radio; received multiple award nomi-

nations; shared the stage with Scottish legends, The Battlefield Band; performed with Irish supergroup, The Chieftains; and will soon be heading to perform in France. She will be joined by her excellent back-up band, which includes her mother Siew, on piano and fiddle; her father Joel, on bodhran; and ‘adopted’ Uncle Bob, on guitar. This promises to be an upbeat and joyous evening of music, song, and dance. To learn more about the band and hear some of their music, go to

www.jocelynpettit. com. It’s a lovely website, and there is music to listen to on the Music page, and also videos to watch on the Gallery page. As you’ll see, you are really in for a treat. In order to accomodate the band, complete with keyboard and step-dancing area, they will have to limit seats more than usual, so get in touch soon if you’d like to reserve tickets, by giving them a ring at 250-337-5337. Tickets are $20 ($10 kids), and hot drinks and a fabulous spread of desserts is included. All the

proceeds go directly to Pettit and her band. They’ll also have the ever-popular charity raffle during the evening, with the usual great prizes, and proceeds going to the Ursula Joy Trust Fund. Since last October, when baby Ursula was diagnosed with brain cancer, they have raised, thanks to many generous donors, more than $11,000 to help her family in their time of need. And they’ve had a lot of fun doing it, with their fundraisers, raffles and folk clubs.

Snapshots from an incredible life Diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 1970, Bevan Williams defied all the odds

Told he had no more than five years to live due to Parkinson’s disease, Bevan Williams has enjoyed every day of the past 43 years. Pictured clockwise from the top left: Bevan shows off his catch; he and Connie hold an old family portrait at home in Campbell River; the couple pose beside their sailboat Ruckus; camping in Mexico; and cruising to Alaksa.

weren’t about to stop his life. And what a life. He had spotted the girl of his dreams in high school, married her and spent 55 years together in the same Richmond home raising four children. He was an all-round athlete in school and a gifted runner, but not quite as good as one of the true B.C. track and field greats. “I raced with Harry Jerome!” says a beaming Bevan. “Wow, was he fast! He just took off like a shot.”

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

he list of accomplishments is T extraordinary: Air force pilot, weatherman, athlete, coach, sailor, scuba diver, author, government sleuth, falconer, breeder of champion dogs, life-saver, husband, father, grandfather and, now, greatgrandfather. And the footnote on Bevan William’s curriculum vitae should read: One of the longest living people in B.C. who have Parkinson’s disease. “He’s an amazing person. Having Parkinson’s does not mean the end,” says Connie, his wife of 57 years.

The so-called end, was just another beginning that day in 1970 when Bevan’s good friend, fellow track coach and family doctor, the legendary Dr. Doug Clement, took him aside. “There were tears in eyes. He was quite shaken,” Bevan recalls. “He started talking about Parkinson’s and he said, ‘I want to tell you, you’ve got it and there’s nothing we can do to help.’ His dad had died of Parkinson’s and he recognized the

symptoms in me.” Clement had noticed the subtle shake in Bevan’s hands, the tell-tale sign of Parkinson’s. It’s a progressive and degenerative neurological disorder which causes tremors, trembling, muscle rigidity, slowness of movement, and difficulty speaking and swallowing. All the symptoms would eventually catch up with Bevan, but they

Snapshots: Saving drowning victims and catching a spy ship From high school he joined the Canadian Air Force and learned to fly single-engine Harvards. F lying remains a passion. “I’d love to get up again...just need to find someone with a pilot’s licence,” he says hopefully. From the air force it was off to college to become a meteorologist. And, of course, with Bevan, being a weatherman was every bit of an adventure as flying.

He secured a good job with the federal government and was charged with inspecting and outfitting weather equipment on ships visiting Vancouver’s port. That led to an interesting sideline as the “eyes and ears” of the federal snoops, particularly during the heyday of the Cold War. Bevan recalls the time a Russian fishing boat stopped in Vancouver and he went on board to have a look. “This great, big ugly brute wouldn’t let me

go up to the bridge,” he says, his blue eyes twinkling with delight. “I just said, ‘I’m a government inspector! I have the right.’ But, really, I had no right at all and I was getting kind of nervous.” Nevertheless, bold and fearless Bevan marched up the bridge and quickly suspected something was amiss. The entire vessel looked far too clean to be a real fishing boat. The hands of the socalled fishermen were all smooth with hardly a callus. And to top it

off, it appeared that a large piece of equipment had been suddenly removed from the bridge. When he was finally allowed to leave, Bevan placed a call to his intelligence contacts and then they had a much more for mal visit with the Russian spy ship. “There goes my pension,” jokes Bevan as he recounts the story. He’s also brave. Connie says he’s saved a dozen people from drowning, including one very dramatic incident in Mexico when Bevan and another man pulled five people from the water.

He saved another friend when they were young and he also rescued his scuba diving instructor who had suffered a mini-stroke during a lesson. Traveling has always been a passion for the Williams family. They cruised the coastal waters in their sailboat Ruckus and in retirement they spent the winters camping in Mexico. After learning he had Parkinson’s, another specialist told Bevan he would never live past five years. Bevan and Connie didn’t believe it for a second. They went to see another specialist

and continued living out their shared adventure. Connie says the doctors at the University of B.C. have been amazing. When Bevan was 70, he underwent a surgical procedure that delivers electrical stimulation to his brain. The results were remarkable, says Connie. His hands stopped shaking and he no longer had to take several kinds of medication. Three years ago they left their long-time home in Richmond and moved to a magnificent ocean-view condo in Campbell River to be closer to family.

Now, at 78, Bevan is slowing down and dementia, related to Parkinson’s, is beginning to take hold. It’s difficult, admits Connie, but she’s grateful for local support like the Adult Care Society in Willow Point where Bevan visits three times a week. There’s also the Parkinson’s support group and there’s respite assistance. “We just fell in love with Campbell River and this has been a wonderful community,” she says. From their fourth floor condo, Bevan and Connie enjoy a sweeping view of the Discovery Passage, Strait of Georgia and Discovery Islands. The old weatherman – one of the longest living people with Parkinson’s in B.C. – loves the view, especially when the storms blow in. Connie smiles and takes her husband’s hand. “Not bad for living with Parkinson’s,” she says. “We decided to make the best of it and we’ve had a great life.” ■ April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month. The Parkinson’s support group meets every second Wednesday. Call Pat at 250-286-1354 for more information.

FRIDAY, APRIL 12, 2013 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR |

Online courses replace business admin classes There won’t be any business administration classes offered in Campbell River and Port Alberni in September. But North Island College has found a way for students in those communities to advance their career and improve business skills with a new online Business Administration certificate. Starting this September, the one-year certificate will be available in a fully online format to allow students greater access and flexibility. Students can complete all of their courses online, or face-to-face at the Comox Valley campus.

The online format allows NIC to bring the certificate to many more students in rural and remote communities. Face-to-face classes will no longer be offered in Port Alberni or Campbell River, where enrolments in the certificate program dropped to less than seven students in the 2012-2013 academic year. “Online programs build on NIC’s regional delivery model and provide more affordable education and career options for all learners in all communities, even our most remote ones,” said NIC’s vice president of Education, Jan Carrie.

Online business courses will also be available to high school students across the region, through dual credit. “Everyone has a right to an education,” said NIC instructor Linda Jay. “Having lived 10 years in a remote community at the end of a logging road, I am aware of the challenges of trying to access a proper education. “I’ve worked with NIC’s online courses for more than 20 years and I am proud to see how our distance courses have developed into engaging, interactive online learning experiences.” NIC’s certificate has

been redeveloped to include video, podcasts, and a wide range of mixed media tools. It includes orientation and training to support the online learning process and introduce students to classmates and instructors. Students stay on track with individual and g roup assignments and connect with each other in online study groups. Students follow the same curriculum as those within the traditional certificate, g raduate with the same quality credentials, and gain a new flexibility to learn at a time and place that works for them.

The certificate provides fundamental business knowledge – from administrative principles and financial accounting, to economics and organizational writing. Students explore marketing for public, private, and not-for-profit companies, develop marketing strategies, and learn to use widely used business software. On completion, students can confidently enter the workforce or, go further, with NIC’s business diploma and degree programs. For more information, visit www.nic. bc.ca/business or call 1-800-715-0914 to speak with an advisor.

$240,000 in awards available for NIC students Generous donations have made money available to help students pay for their North Island College (NIC) programs. In 2012, over 300 students received North Island College Foundation awards totaling over $220,000 to help pay for college. This year, the NIC Foundation has $240,000 available for students planning to attend NIC, thanks to the generous support of its donors, all of whom are united in support of student success. Since 1991, North Island College Foundation donors have supported the educational

dreams of thousands of students, allowing them to build a solid future for themselves and their norther n Vancouver Island communities. From electricians, welders and accountants to nurses, educational assistants and small business owners, NIC students are the foundation of our communities. For some students, receiving an award can mean slightly lower debt and/or having to work a little less and being able to focus more on school. But sometimes, receiving an award means the dif ference between being able to attend

college or not – it literally can change the direction of a life. As Corey Hustwick, recipient of the Lyndon Cross Memorial Bursary and graduate of NIC’s Culinary Arts program, states “The financial support I received provided the encouragement to persevere and succeed. Lyndon said to me, “Never let anyone tell you what you can’t do.” His words and this generosity will stay with me for a lifetime.” N I C Fo u n d a t i o n awards are available to students planning to attend North Island College for the first time in September 2013, as well as to con-

tinuing and graduating NIC students. Scholarships are awarded based on academic achievement while bursaries are available to students who demonstrate financial need. The NIC Foundation Awards booklet, which outlines all awards, is available from Student Services at any NIC campus, from high school counseling offices, and online at w w w. n i c. b c. c a / awards. “We are very grateful to have a number of new donors this year including the Comox Valley Community Foundation, which has decided to direct

its funding for postsecondary students through NIC,” says Bert Heeringa, Chair of the NIC Foundation’s Board of Directors. “There really is no greater investment in our communities than the gift of education. Supporting local students means a stronger future for all of our communities.” The deadline for applications is April 30, 2013. For more information about NIC Awards or for questions or assistance with the application process, please contact Beth Turner at 250-334-5000 (extension 4267) or email foundation@nic.bc.ca.

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

Answer: The Canadian Dental Association

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

Drive Smart BC Nuisance Lights Lights, without 2X14 a doubt the subject that generates the greatest number of requests for DriveSmartBC articles. We’ve looked at almost every kind of light connected with the operation of a vehicle or cycle on a highway in British Columbia, so it’s time to widen our view to the roadside. Have you been blinded by the light emitted by newer LED advertising TYEE CHEV signs? I don’t know about you, but I can point to a few roadside advertising signs that I’m familiar with that cause me discomfort due to their brightness when I approach them in darkness. It is almost as if the lighting level needed to make the sign stand out during the day has not been moderated when night falls. Since your eyes quickly adapt to the brightness level but take significantly longer to return to dark vision after you pass the sign, this can be a dangerous situation. Depending on where you are driving, signs beside the highway are regulated by municipalities within their borders or the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure outside of municipalities. Either municipal bylaws or the Transportation Act provide the authority to require changes if these signs are a nuisance to passing road users. These bodies are also the authorities that grant permission to install the signs in the first place. I cannot find any published standards for how much light from LED signs is considered to be hazardous, so complaints about them may be difficult to satisfy. The opinion of the MOTI official or bylaw enforcement officer may or may not match yours. However, a carefully worded complaint outlining your difficulty should raise the possibility of liability for a crash with both the official and the sign owner and that may be enough to cause a change. The author is a retired constable with many years of traffic law enforcement experience. To comment or learn more, please visit www. drivesmartbc.ca.

April 7th 2013 It is with deep sorrow that we announce the sudden passing of our incredibly special wife, mother, sister and grandmother. Joy passed away peacefully on Sunday, April 7th, age 62, surrounded by her family, after suffering a severe and unrecoverable stroke. Predeceased by her father, Walter, and mother, Marie, she is survived by husband of 40 years, Bill, daughters Shevaun (Rod) and Danielle (Andreas), grand-dog Lula, grand-daughter Sienna, sister Leone, brother Bruce (Holly) and nieces Sara (Dean), Stephanie and Jaime. Joy was born in Vancouver and came to Campbell River as a young child when her father accepted a teaching job at Elm Street School. She grew up in Campbell River, graduating from Carihi in 1968. She earned a teaching degree at UVic and taught for a year in Pemberton, before returning to Campbell River with her husband, Bill, in 1975. They settled on Quadra Island soon after and Joy began teaching at Quadra Elementary, where she continued to work until 1978 when she stepped back to be a devoted mom for several years. She returned to teaching as her children were growing up, working for stretches at Quadra Elementary and Evergreen Elementary before retiring in 2006. During retirement, she spent as much time as she could with her growing family: travelling, skiing, tending her garden and learning to golf. She was active in the Quadra community, involving herself in the Quilt and Garden Tour, the Fall Fair, the Quadra Garden Club, her ladies hiking group, and, most recently, the landscaping of the Quadra Golf Course. She brought enthusiasm and positivity to everything she did and had a big smile for anyone she came in contact with. She will be dearly missed and fondly remembered as a truly remarkable individual who always quietly made time for others. The family would like to thank the Quadra Island Emergency Response Team, the Quadra ferry crew, Dr Jennifer Grace and the ICU nurses for their compassionate care and support. We also sincerely thank our family friends for their outpouring of love and support. There will be a Celebration of Joy's Life on Sunday, April 14th at 11:00am at the Quadra Community Centre. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, donations may be made in Joy's honour to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Stop and Walk Though this may seem counterintuitive, sometimes all you need to do to get a dog to stop chasing you is to dismount from the bike and keep the bike between yourself and the dog. Then, while speaking to the dog, just walk on by. You are then neither threatening to the dog, nor fun to chase, and the dog will frequently lose interest. Squirt the Dog If you see a potential problem ahead, get ready with your water bottle. If the dog starts to close in, give it a good squirt of water in the face. It can confuse them and put them off their attack enough for you to get by. Frequently theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just stop, and the problem is solved.

Pay attention to your dog Continued from A1 giving an attacking dog a good whack on the snout with a foot but be warned, kicking at a dog or swinging something at it can increase the chances of you wiping out. All in all, this option should be a choice of last resort. Most dogs won’t bite, but you don’t want to find out the hard way which kind you’re dealing with.

Dog Spray Commercial dog spray is available and it can work well but unless you are expecting a regular ambush and can be prepared for a dog that you know is coming, it’s not likely that you’ll have the spray ready at hand and the surprise nature of the attack will not allow you time to fumble around and get it. Also, you have to be very careful that you don’t end up with the pepper spray in your own face and if you don’t watch it, you

could end up riding right into the cloud of noxious stuff you’ve just put out there. What Can Dog Owners Do? Dog owners first have to realize that having a barking dog running up to you can be really scary. Not everyone in the world is a dog lover. Cyclists and runners don’t know the dog’s intentions, nor can you guarantee that your dog won’t bite or nip them, jump on them, or cause them to fall off their bike or trip. It’s important to also recognize that your dog’s bad behavior can pose a major liability to you. Unless your dog can come when called 100 per cent of the time immediately the first time you call, the dog should not be off leash in areas with others. Even if your dog is on leash you should pay attention

to your surroundings if bikes or people are approaching. Even walkers don’t like to be lunged at or sniffed by unfamiliar dogs. In both situations you should, move to the side of the path and have your dog sit and look at you while the runner, cyclist or walker goes by. If your dog is off leash you must be able to get him to your side and focused on you well before the runner is near and reward the dog for focusing on you. If you can’t do this, at least keep the leash short until after people have passed. Even if your dog is a barking, struggling mess, the cyclist or runner will appreciate the fact that you are trying to control your dog. If you find that this is difficult to do, then seek help from a trainer.

run after someone and causes an injury, apologize and exchange names and phone numbers in case of insurance or medical issues. As the dog owner, you are at fault – fix the problem. The right dog, well cared for, is a safe, reliable companion. However, dogs must be properly socialized and trained. They become a threat if they are abused and ignored. Any dog may bite if it is threatened, angry, afraid or in pain. Dogs have an instinct to defend their territory, whether that is space, food or a toy. Owning a dog demands a major time commitment, as they need a lot of attention. Any owner who must keep a dog locked or chained up for hours a day should probably not own one.
