Homlessness group receives funds Soup kitchen CAMPBELL RIVER RIVER MIRROR MIRROR || FRIDAY, FRIDAY, MAY MAY 10, 2013 || CAMPBELL

Campbell RiveR miRRoR

The city is working on a strategy to get the city’s homeless off the street and into affordable housing. The city’s Homelessness Task Force, which was formed in 2009, wants council to enact a Community Homelessness Coalition made up of members from the community. “The establishment of a long-term Community Homelessness Coalition will require financial and staff resources if the city intends on playing

a leadership role,” said Dale Blackburn, chair of the Homelessness Task Force, in a report to council. “The terms of reference recommend that the city establish a minimum annual operating budget of $5,000 which will assist coalition members with the costs of attending workshops and conferences, cover administrative/office expenses, food, advertising, publishing of public notices, hosting public forums and other related expenses.” The city recently received a one-time

$50,000 grant from the Vancouver Island Health Authority, via the Strathcona Regional District, to be put toward initiatives to help end homelessness. The task force is suggesting council hold the funds until a coalition is formed. Once created, the Community Homelessness Coalition will be mandated to incorporate the principle of housing first. That model focuses on harm reduction through the provision of permanent low-barrier, supportive housing. The goal is to immediately

house the homeless, no matter what an individual’s situation – whether they engage in substance abuse or they struggle with mental illness. The coalition will also work with all levels of government and community partners to develop affordable longterm housing for 50 homeless people in each of the next five consecutive years. The coalition also proposes to implement a plan to work with community partners to enhance day-time services available for people who are homeless includ-

ing showers, laundry, lockers, washrooms and telephone access. Membership in the coalition will include community service providers such as the Salvation Army, Campbell River Food Bank, North Island Transition Society, Laichwiltach Society as well as the health authority, Ministry of Housing and Social Development, BC Housing, and individuals at large. The city’s Homelessness Task Force is recommending council budget $5,000 annually to support the Community Homelessness Coalition.

needs cooler

The Campbell River Salvation Army Lighthouse Centre soup kitchen is in need of a new commercial cooler. “We have three refrigerating units at the Lighthouse Centre, but our main cooler is getting old,” said Community Ministries Director Kevin Mack. “We’ve now had to have it serviced four times in recent months and we’ve been told it will need to be replaced soon.” The need for a new commercial cooler is an unexpected expense this year for The Campbell River Salvation Army, so the organization is appealing to the community to help with the purchase of a new one. “Given the volume of meals prepared at The Lighthouse Centre, it’s important for us to have reliable equipment,” said Mack. “We’re hoping a service group, business, or perhaps individuals would be able to help with the purchase of a new commercial cooler.” Kitchen staff and dedicated volunteers prepare 20,000 hot meals per year through the Lighthouse meal program five days per week serving those most in need in our community. The price tag for a new commercial cooler is between $3,000-$4,000. To help out, call The Salvation Army office at 250-287-3720.

Candidates tackle education as Tuesday nears Tuesday is election day in B.C. In the conclusion to our series of questions put to the North Island riding’s three candidates, we asked about eduction. Q. Declining enrolment in the region’s elementary and high schools is expected to become a more serious issue given the aging demographics of our society. How would your Party better assist local school boards in this transition? Claire Trevena BC NDP The BCNDP’s education policies are based on the belief that every child, regardless of where they live or their family’s income, has the right to receive a quality education. Unfortunately, for years the BC Liberals have downloaded costs onto school boards making it more and more difficult to deliver a quality education, particularly in rural areas. Compounding this growing crisis is the cur-

rent funding formula. It is based on the number of children in a school district. This is particularly unfair for rural districts with smaller communities and higher costs, such as student transportation. While local school boards are anticipating a short-term increase in student numbers, the longer demographic trend is downward. Under the current funding formula, this will mean even less money in the future. I strongly support changing the formula to remove this unfair bias that impacts rural school districts. Locally elected school boards represent the needs of their communities. They must be able to work independently, backed by government support, to meet their local needs. To help school districts improve the quality of education, the BCNDP has pledged to invest $265 million over four years to hire more teach-

ers, teaching assistants, librarians and counsellors and to enable students with special needs to receive the classroom support they require. The use and allocation of these new resources will be done in close collaboration with school boards, parents and educators. It is an overdue investment in our children and in B.C.’s future. Nick Facey BC Liberals Right off the bat, I want

to recognize that there are great teachers on the North Island. I went through the public school system in Campbell River and thoroughly benefited from it. Many classmates and myself went on to attend our choice of major universities. We are also seeing great success in our younger students being amongst the best in Canada and top 10 for the world. We really do have a worldclass education system

right here in B.C. On declining student population, we have seen this has been on a downward trend for over a decade. It is not a new issue, but it does require tough decisions. It’s natural to love a local school, and many fight to hang on to it despite the fact it’s often at half capacity. As a local example, if the board of education decided to keep every school open, there would be approximately 100 students at Ocean Grove,

50 at Oyster River, and 30 at Maple School. This would become a huge financial challenge as we would be paying to keep the lights and heat going in a facility that is significantly under capacity. The students would lose out on the many benefits that come with having a large student population, such as sports teams or music programs, and we’d have too many grades in one class where it wasn’t truly required. By consolidating, we can reduce costs and deliver better education. Transition is tough – even more so in rural communities, which is why today’s BC Liberals introduced several measures to assist boards in dealing with the financial challenge declining enrolment brings. To stabilize stable funding, we introduced funding protection, so districts with declining enrolment cannot receive less than 98.5 per cent of the previous year.

We will also continue to supplement funding with unique geographic factors, unique student needs such as Aboriginal learners, and to deal with class composition issues. Ultimately, the best way we can support boards and our community is by growing the economy and attracting young families to Campbell River and northern Vancouver Island. This is another reason why today’s BC Liberals are focused on jobs and skills training, because communities and schools thrive when job opportunities expand. I’m a product of the Nor th Island public school system, and believe in its value for our communities, as well as knowing how quality education creates more choices later in life. I’m committed to working with our amazing teachers, and local school districts to make sure we have the best education possible. Continued on A6

compensation and consult with unions before any further contracting out of services. In a pre-campaign interview with Guardian, the Hospital Employees’ Union (HEU) magazine, Dix made no specific commitments. “We are going to need to improve and strengthen the public role if we are going to continue to provide a high level of service, given the federal cuts that are coming to health care in 2014-’15,” Dix told the publication. They’re not really cuts.

After a string of sixper-cent increases, the growth of health care transfers is capped at four per cent starting next year. After signing a series of “net zero” contracts with various public service unions in the past year, the B.C. Liberals tabled an election budget proposing to hold health spending growth to two per cent this year. In 2008, the B.C. Liberal government passed amendments to comply with the court ruling that collective bargaining rights are constitution-

ally protected. The ruling didn’t reverse pay cuts, but ordered payment of $80 million in compensation and retraining, and required negotiations before any further contracting out of health care jobs. Judy Darcy, then secretary-business manager of the HEU and now the NDP’s candidate in New Westminster, said at the time that the legislation allowed the government and the union to “move on and build some kind of a partnership.” Platform highlights: n The B.C. Liberals

emphasize their legislative change to allow Licensed Practical Nurses to leave the HEU and join the B.C. Nurses’ Union. The party wants to “partner with hospice societies” to double the number of hospice beds by 2020. n The NDP distances itself from public-private partnerships to build and run hospitals. Dix said 30-year contracts are too long for health care facilities. The two new hospitals in Campbell River and Courtenay are slated to maintained under 30-year contracts.

The consequences attending a steadily declining economy will be, inevitably, school

consolidation. That is, children attending schools which are ever more distant from their homes. A BC Conservative government will get B.C. back to basics with a series of education reforms aimed at stabilizing funding for four-year periods. The current arrangement is for school boards to get a three-year budget estimate from the province for funding, but it’s very often cut midway through the term. We’re saying we are going to commit to stable funding over four-year terms, to make sure that

budgets can be set and stuck to. The BC Conservatives will work with teachers to separate legitimate wage and benefit demands from classroom concerns. C l a s s ro om i s s u e s should be dealt with at the local level and involve parent advisory committees and local teachers’ associations. By stabilizing education funding and giving parents a greater say in how our schools are run, a BC Conservative government will get B.C. back to basics and stand up for our children and families.

Council re-zoned land Tuesday along the South Island Highway to allow an apartment building with a liquor store, despite complaints from neighbours. Property owner Derik Pallan proposed to build an eight-unit, fivestorey apartment complex at 1054 S. Island Hwy, located next door to the Big Rock Motel and across the street from the Big Rock boat launch. Pallan wants to build a liquor store on the ground floor of the apartment building. On Tuesday night counc had to look at the proposal purely from a land re-zoning perspective when making its decision, as scrutiny of issues such as design, building size, and access

to the site will take place once Pallan submits a development permit for the project. Coun. Claire Moglove supported the proposal because the re-zoning fits with the city’s official community plan. Moglove added that the issues raised by residents are important and will be raised at the development permit stage. Coun. Andy Adams said the proposal is what the city is looking for. “Council has advocated for mixed use for quite some time, it would only be nice if this was for the downtown core, but we’re getting closer,” Adams said. But neighbours have several issues with the proposal, mostly surrounding traffic. Norma and Mar y Lewis said the project will create congestion in

an already busy area. “Introducing a liquor store at this location would signif icantly increase traffic issues on an already challenged portion of Highway 19A,” wrote John Lewis, on behalf of Norma and Mary Lewis, in a letter to the city. “The proposal as outlined fits a building too large to provide onproperty parking, requiring an arrangement with the Big Rock Motel to provide parking for the eight apartments above the liquor store. “We understand there are plans to modernize and expand utilization of the adjacent cityowned boat launching facility,” Lewis wrote. “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.” Grant Currie, who lives across the street from the proposed development, said he is “strongly opposed” to the project. “The concept does nothing to enhance the development, services or appeal to the gateway to Campbell River,” Currie said. “There are certainly more than enough liquor stores in the vicinity of my neighbourhood. I can drive for approximately 90 seconds and be at four different liquor stores. As three of these liquor outlets are on the Island Highway the addition of another liquor store only adds competition to an already saturated market.” C ouncillors L arr y Samson, Ron Kerr and Mayor Walter Jakeway sided with the neighbours. Samson said he doesn’t think it’s a good

development because of the size of the lot. Kerr agreed, “I think the site has got severe limitations. I think it’s too small a property for the intended use. I’m usually pro-development but I just can’t see this succeeding.” Jakeway is concerned the developer will have to dig into the bank at the back of the lot. “As soon as you cut in, it changes the way the dirt drains,” he said. “I’m opposed because I don’t want to mislead the developer on how I’ll vote in the development permit stage. I don’t think you can do what’s proposed without cutting into the bank (and) cutting into that bank is not a wise thing.” C ouncil voted in favour of re-zoning, with Samson, Kerr and Jakeway opposed.

Council supports Serious Coffee’s proposal Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR

The local owner of Serious Coffee is applying to the liquor branch to sell alcohol at the Willow Point coffee shop. Owner Linda Riddell, said she has customers who would like a glass wine or a beer while the enjoy live music. “Most of my entertainment is in the evening hours and most people don’t want to drink caffeine in the evening hours,” Riddell said. When she first got into business her intent was to create a traditional cof fee-house atmosphere. Since then, Serious Coffee has open mic nights three times a week – with one of those nights reserved for youth, a jam night once a week, and a classical music morning once a week. “It has become exactly what I’d like to see,” Riddell said, though she acknowledged it hasn’t been easy. “We’ve faced a few adversities since we opened. There was the road closure in Willow

Point (for the Highway upgrade project) right after we opened, then we got hit with the HST and the economic downturn, so it’s been a difficult five years and if we don’t diversify we will be in financial trouble.” Because it’s a franchise, she’s limited in what she can serve, but Serious

Coffee has allowed Riddell’s store to be a pilot for testing out new menu items, including alcohol and sit-down meals. But neighbour Darlyne Walker, who across the road, is concerned. She said the noise coming from the coffee shop is becoming unbearable, especially on warm

nights when the back door of Serious Coffee is open. She is also concerned that adding alcohol into the mix may exacerbate the problems she has had in the past with youths who have played at Serious Coffee and continued on with their evening at Adams Park, causing a distur-

Really now, how hard is it to vote?

If the last time B.C. voters went to the polls is any indication, you’re just as likely not to cast a ballot in Tuesday’s provincial election as you are to mark your X. We say: There’s In 2009 just 50 per cent of eligible even a drive-thru voters turned out at the polls to make their voice heard. polling station in In fact, voter turnout has been declining steadily since 1983, when 70 Comox per cent of eligible voters exercised their franchise. It’s not like voting is hard work.

Short of knocking on your front door and sticking a ballot under your nose, Elections BC has made it increasingly easier and more convenient to vote. Advance polls opened Wednesday, and they’ll remain open through Saturday, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Voters could also cast their ballot at their nearest electoral office from the call of the election right up until election day. There’s an electoral office in every riding and they’re open until 4 p.m. It’s even possible to vote by mail. Residents who won’t be in their electoral district on voting day can vote in any other riding in the province.

In Comox, voters can stay in their cars, as a drive-thru polling station will be set up at a former car dealership. And while Elections BC has studied the viability of online voting, there’s no guarantee that would increase voter participation. In Markham, Ont. where residents have been allowed to vote online in the past three municipal elections, participation didn’t increase, but it also didn’t decline. So really, there’s no excuse not to vote. Not even the distraction of a Canucks’ playoff run. – Black Press

Where’s Doug the Bug? Years ago I developed the Traveling Environment Show highlighting the extensive environmental improvements that had taken place at Elk Falls. The giveaway materials evolved into several forms and culminated in a seven-foot mascot known as “Doug the Bug.” Doug the Bug would make appearances at schools, malls, the odd trade show, and he was always featured at the annual Children’s Festival held every July first. A lot has happened over the last decade. I retired, Doug retired, the Environment Show has faded from people’s memory, and Elk Falls – as an operating pulp and paper mill – is no more. The last time I saw Doug was summer 2012, and he was hanging out in the mill’s front office basement. Fast-forward another year. My wife and I are involved in the Ride to Conquer Cancer, a BC Cancer Agency fundraising activity involving 3,000 people riding bicycles from the Lower Mainland to Seattle in June. We are independently fundraising to meet our goal of $2,500 in support of Ovarian Cancer Research. As a fundraising activity we are selling cookies for a donation. Always looking to attract attention, I thought, why not let Doug the Bug make an appearance? He could wander Campbell River’s downtown streets again, just like old times! But now, Doug will be selling cookies to conquer cancer while charming young and old! Tuesday I went off in search of my old friend, Doug, however, he was not to be found!

Will the next government review job standards? By DaviD Fairey anD Marjorie GriFFin Cohen

B.C. has acquired the “distinction” of being home to Canada’s largest income gap, highest poverty rate, and second highest child poverty rate. It also has greater employment insecurity and lower wages than the national average, even though B.C. is the province with the highest cost of living in Canada. How has this occurred in such a rich province? The answer is at least partially due to the low-wage policies the B.C. government has implemented through changes to the Employment Standards Act (ESA). These changes, beginning in 2001, represented a dramatic roll-back of worker rights. Employment standards deal with crucial

labour protections that provide rules for how employers can treat workers. Standards on the minimum wage, hours of work, when overtime pay begins, parental leave, and provisions for vacations and statutory holidays with pay are just some of the protections ensured. These provisions are important for everyone in the paid labour force, but they are especially necessary for vulnerable workers, who are disproportionally women, recent immigrants, temporary foreign workers, racial minorities and young people. Looking at the minimum wage alone indicates the importance of employment standards. Statistics Canada estimates 136,000 British Columbians (7.2% of the workforce) are working for minimum wages (and sometimes even less), and that nearly half of these low-waged workers (46%) are employed by

firms of 500 or more employees. A growing proportion (31%) are 35 years old and over. Thousands more have wages only marginally above the minimum wage. A key piece of the government’s low-wage strategy, starting in 2001, was to freeze the general minimum wage at $8 for 10 years, resulting in B.C. having the lowest minimum wage in the country. At the same time a $6 minimum wage was established for those in their first 500 hours of work, something that was aimed at teenagers, but also affected vulnerable workers such as recent immigrants. The $6 minimum wage remained unchanged for 10 years until it was finally abolished in 2011. Starting in 2002, approximately 42 changes were made to the ESA. Most of these changes involve reductions to employee rights and pro-

tections, and a substantial erosion of enforcement of the law. Here are some of the most significant: n Farm workers’ wages were effectively cut by excluding them from key protections such as hours of work, overtime and statutory holiday pay, and the definition of farm work was substantially expanded to include other food processing jobs. n Government oversight of employed children between 12-14 was eliminated, and children were permitted to work up to seven hours per day and 20 hours per week, making B.C. stand out as having the youngest working age for children in the industrialized world. n Unionized employees were excluded from the core provisions of the ESA, which means Continued on A9

For those living in glass houses...

Where’s Doug gone?

The column “NDP spending plan is frightening” in your May 8 edition by “retired businessman Gwyn Morgan” fails to reveal that Mr. Morgan was, in fact, former CEO of gas giant Encana and more importantly, Christy Clark’s top transition team advisor. This is just another example of the lack of transparency, deception and secrecy in the BC Legislature under the Liberal government. You

S omehow D oug has left the building! Whereabouts unknown! One would think a seven-foot tall, hardhat wearing, orange mascot with blue legs and huge blue feet would be kind of conspicuous. He certainly stands out in a crowd. Perhaps if any readers have seen Doug could they please let me know.

never quite get all the facts, just the ones they want you to know about. And while the NDP “sleepwalks to victory” it should also be pointed out that during the NDP decade from 1991 to 2001 B.C. actually had a net gain of 126,000 people. According to Statistics Canada that is double the number of people who moved to B.C. during the last decade of the Liberal Government and more people are leaving

right now. Finally, the Liberal attack ads love to hold Adrian Dix out for voter flogging for the memo episode and for not paying Skytrain. I think politicans in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones and use millions of dollars perfecting their pitch. And as far as the glass house goes, don’t run red lights Premier Clark or drive drunk Mr. Campbell because unlike Dix, you both have put

lives at risk, while in your car and while in the Premier’s office. J. Riga, Campbell River Editor’s note: Gwyn Morgan is the former chair of SNC Lavalin, and is a director on the boards of several other large corporations including EnCana Corporation. He has served as an advisor to Christy Clark.

Rather than reduce the rates assessed to patrons who use Strathcona Gardens Complex, with the recent seven per cent removal of HST from recreation facilities on April 1, the Strathcona Regional District has decided to keep the rate the same – virtually a seven per cent increase in fees. Zeroes to the various directors, including those Campbell River councillors, who have condoned it without actually advising the public. Nice to see you you’re continuing to look after citizens first.

they have no access to the complaints, investigations, and enforcement and appeals provisions of the Act. n The minimum daily shift was reduced from four to two hours, something particularly hard for those organizing child care or other parttime work. n The 24-hour notice of a shift change was eliminated. n Employees with a

complaint no longer have quick access to an Employment Standards Officer for help. Instead, they are required to fill out a 16-page “self-help kit” and pursue their complaint with their employer themselves before proceeding further with the Employment Standards branch. This totally discourages workers from filing complaints of violations. n O t he r s i g n i f i cant changes affecting employees’ ability to get

help was a 33% reduction in Employment Standards Branch staff, a 47% reduction in enforcement officer staff, and the closure of 50% of the Employment Standards Branch offices. These are just a sampling of the many changes that have undermined the earnings of lower-wage workers. When these changes were introduced, the government stressed that they were necessary to increase “flexibil-

ity” in the labour force and would benefit both employers and employees. We now know with certainty that these policies have been an abject failure from the perspective of employees. They have simply made B.C. a low-wage province and have lowered the ability of working people to provide for their own needs. The next government will need to restore enforcement of the ESA,

and strengthen the law itself to ensure workers are properly protected.

Downtown improvements begin Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR

Construction on downtown improvements for the St. Ann’s block are expected to start next month. The city is planning a complete makeover of the area between 10th Avenue and Shoppers Row which will include upgrades to underground city services such as water, sewer and storm drainage systems, as well as above-ground improvements to roads, sidewalks, streetlights and landscaping. The city’s downtown revitalization project is estimated to cost $4.05 million and will be funded by the city’s sewer capital, water capital and

general capital reserves as well as from the parks parcel tax reserve and the community works fund. The work will tie in with the building of Seymour Pacific’s new, fourstorey headquarters on the St. Ann’s block, across from Chances casino. “We’re pretty excited to make downtown Campbell River the site of this new building,” said Sean Roy, chief executive officer of Seymour Pacific. “It will have a pretty significant entrance just off of St. Ann’s…it will be something pretty special, it will redefine downtown, from the way we look at it.” The city intends to work with Seymour Pacific to enhance the area where Seymour

Pacific’s property and the city’s will meet and create vibrant, pedestrianfriendly public spaces. The city plans to plant new trees and create small, park-like spaces and garden areas. New streetlights, similar to the ones in Willow Point, are proposed to improve lighting in the evening and creative designs in paving stones will make streets and lane ways more appealing. The city hopes options for sidewalk patio space could encourage existing cafés to expand or new ventures to set up shop. The city last week posted an invitation on its website to companies to submit bids for the project. The tender closes on May 23.

Man’s body recovered near Island home The body of an 80-year-old man was found Tuesday, offshore near Craycroft Island. Doug Gordon was last seen May 3, at his home in Port Harvey, located about 65 kilometres northeast of Campbell River.

Travelling dance troupe to hit local stage Dancestreams Youth Dance Company, an outstanding group of young dancers from all over Vancouver Island, including three from Campbell River, will be appearing at the Campbell River Community Centre on Saturday. The company will be presenting an eclectic mix of choreography created by Hannah Stilwell, Maiko Miyauchi, Serge Bennathan, and others. Dancestreams will be sharing the dance floor with local dancers from Urban Dance Connection as well as guest musical artists and String Bridge Theory from Vancouver.

Maiko Miyauchi’s new work “Ka-Men” (mask in Japanese) arises from the Dancestreams summer workshop Art and the Dancer. Participants worked with visual artist Sara Stone to create plaster masks and with Maiko to explore the use of the mask with movement.

PAQUIN Starlight Pops Choir, which performs classics from groups such as the Mamas and the Papas, ABBA, and Carole King, will be in Campbell River in June.

Starlight presents We Are Family Victoria’s Starlight Pops Choir is returning on June 14 with an upbeat concert that celebrates the choir’s fifth anniversary and its second engagement in Campbell River. The concer t fe atures classic hits from the Mamas and Papas, ABBA, the Rankin Family, Carole King, Ben E. King, and much, much more. “It’s hard to believe

we’re wrapping up our fifth season already,” says Sue Doman, the choir’s founder and director. “We’ve been overwhelmed by the response and support from the community. The music in this concert comes from our hearts. “It honours the love and friendship that has developed among choir members over the past five years, and the mutual respect and

admiration that has grown between the choir and our audiences,” Doman adds. “‘We are Family!’ celebrates our family and yours.” Formed in 2008 with 40 singers, the choir quickly grew to more than 80, and currently has a waiting list of eager people. The choir is backed up by a four-piece combo of professional musicians. Rounding out the

event are performances by soloists and small ensembles, and a special presentation by Doman, an accomplished vocalist herself. Starlight Pops performs Friday, June 14 at 7:30 p.m. at the Campbell River United Church, 415 Pinecrest Road. Tickets cost $18 and can be purchased at the door, in cash, or online at www.starlightpopschoir.com

Drive Smart BC Skateboarders in Traffic

2X14

A teen stepped off of the sidewalk as I approached, hopped onto his skateboard and began to weave slightly along the curb in front of my vehicle. He either trusted me with his life or had not given much thought to his own as he was far enough into the lane to be a hazard and had his back to overtaking traffic. I had to slow and crowd the center lane to get by. Whether by oversight or design, our Motor Vehicle Act has chosen not to regulate skateboarders or roller skaters / bladers at all. They fit the definition of cycle but as specifically excluded from the definition. Since these people are not pedestrians either, no action can be taken against them under the Motor Vehicle Act for unsafe behaviour. The Act does give municipalities the power to regulate skateboarders and other similar means of wheeled transportation. Municipalities that do choose to do so generally create rules for them under their traffic bylaws. A quick survey of those who post their bylaws on line finds everything from no rules, to not riding them on the sidewalk, to banning them completely from roads and sidewalks. Regardless of whether he was supposed to be there or not, it is wise to drive with significant care when approaching and passing. If you do not and a collision results, the courts can hold you as the driver partially responsible. You always have a duty to exercise caution for both others and yourself. The author is a retired constable with many years of traffic law enforcement experience. To comment or learn more, please visit www.drivesmartbc.ca.

Love Gala to support African doctor The University of B.C.’s Division of Plastic Surgery has become involved in training and partnering with surgeons in Uganda, Africa. Dr. Robin Evans of Campbell River knows the region and its desperate needs. He’s had the privilege to meet Dr. Sister Mary Margaret who is a surgeon in a rural hospital in Soroti, Uganda. The hospital she works in is

a dilapidated building that services a catchment area of many millions of people. She treats trauma, burns and performs 10-15 C-sections per day. In addition to austere conditions, there is a lack of sustainable means to provide electricity to the hospital. The generator that is used today is from the Second World War and has now become unre-

pairable. Without the use of a generator they are unable to sterilize instruments and perform the life-saving operations that are desperately needed. It was with tears in Sister Margaret’s eyes, that she told Dr. Evans, “I will not bury another mother and baby because they did not have the instruments available to perform a C-section.” Sister Margaret is com-

ing to Campbell River on Wednesday, May 15 to speak at the Generate Love Gala. “As there is no formal medical society, I thought we could meet together and hear her speak and share dinner together,” says Dr. Evans. On Wednesday, at the Maritime Heritage Centre, there will be an amazing dinner provided by Quay West, followed by a silent auction and a

full bar. Safe rides home will also be available throughout the night. Tickets are $100. Come out and help raise some much needed funds for this wonderful surgeon and her community hospital. Tickets are available from Dr. Evans (250830-0053), the Campbell River Hospital Foundation (250-850-2418) and Marisa Baikie (250-8308278).

Eileen passed away peacefully on May 3 at New Horizons where she had resided for the past 2 Â˝ years. Eileen is predeceased by her first husband, Harry Evan Martin, her second husband, Joseph Fitton and their youngest daughter Judith. She was also pre-deceased by her sister, Pamela and her brother Richard. Eileen is survived by 7 children, Gillian, Susan (Luis), Francis (Victoria), Theresa (Neil), Jonathan (Lona), Margaret, and Catherine. Eileen has 16 grandchildren; Jane (John), Edward, Robert, Peter, Chrisol (Ciara), Michael, Alice (Ian), Shane (Brandi), Kala (David), Deanna (Ryan), Sheldon (Isabelle), Jeff (Erica), Will (Sarah), Nathan, Andrew (Hannah), and Ruben. Great grandchildren: Jamie, Harry, Faith, Lorenco, Alfonso, Sierra, Aada, Ethan, and Sharlie Great great grandchild: Leila. Eileen was born in Mayfair, London, England to Charles and Lilian Paulet. She went to school in Switzerland. Eileen drove an ambulance in London during the Blitz in the Second World War. She was a dedicated mother and wife and in 1957 she and Joe emigrated to Canada with six children. Catherine and Judith were born later in Canada. The family settled in Vancouver and all the children went through school there. She moved to Campbell River in 1976, and lived here happily ever since. Many of her children have also settled here and Campbell River has become the hub for the family. Eileen volunteered at the CR Museum for 10 years and grew to know and love the community. Eileen was always a second â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mumâ&#x20AC;? to all her childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friends and everyone was always welcome in her home. She will be remembered as a loving, quiet, strong, determined, fun-loving, adventurous person and everyone who knew her has many happy memories to cherish and share. The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to the staff at New Horizons for their compassionate care, and to the home help workers who were so kind prior to that.

FRIDAY, MAY 10, 2013 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR |

Royals look forward to return to home field The Bantam AAA North Island Royals baseball team, formerly the Blizzard, is off to a very good start to the 2013 season. The team, made up of players from Campbell River, Powell River and the Comox Valley, are 14 games into their 39 game season. With a record of six wins and eight losses, the team is well ahead of their 0-12 start from the 2012 season. The Royals have had to overcome their share of adversity with nine of the 14 games being played on the road, and many of the games being threatened and delayed by rain. Returning players Liam Janzen, William Drewry, Adam McKillican, Jacob Ingersoll and Braxten Barnes have brought some experience to the mix while new additions, Wyatt Strachan, Br yce Stromquist, Ethan Brunton, Nolan B aker and C ore y Bukauskas have added some hard work and energy to the club. The team also wel-

New LAX team off to good start The newly formed North Island Intermediate B lacrosse team opened its season against Nanaimo last week. This group consists of players from Campbell River, the Comox Valley and Parksville. The team looked in mid-season form at the start, controlling the play early and drawing first blood with a goal by Liam Shaw.

Nanaimo tied it but then Tanner Jones was sent in on a fast break and made it 2-1. It was all North Island for the rest of the period, with two goals by Alec Molander and one from Jarrett Marshall. In the second, Shaw scored a short-handed goal, and goals from Jordan Balon, Sam Kussauer and Molander increased

the lead to 9-1 at the end of the frame. The tide started to turn in the third period and goalie Sal Burchill made several key saves. Nanaimo notche d three more and Molander scored three more. Nanaimo had 27 shots on goal in the third and Burchill was able to weather the storm for a 12-6 victory.

Question: What can be done for crooked front teeth?

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

B.C. Lions teach aspiring football players The Campbell River Eagles and Timberline Wolves held a successful skills camp last weekend. There were 39 enthu-

siastic players that came out in the beautiful sunshine to learn skills that they can use not only for football but for their health and

fitness as well. It was wonderful to see so many parents and family members encouraging the players from the sideline. The Eagles

and Wolves thank the following members of the Nanaimo Raiders: Karim Maher, Hayden Mebs, Dylan Schrott, Glen Boyce and Alex

Shackelton who came out to run the players through the drills and guide them in some of the finer skills of the game.

There were also two very special guests from the B.C. Lions – offensive lineman Jon Hameister-Ries and offensive lineman Jesse

Newman. It meant a lot for everyone there to see professional players take the time to give back to the game.

Tyees look to win back-to-back Island championships

The Carihi girls soccer team enjoyed an outstanding North Island Championship last week and won its ninth championship in 18 years. The victory in the final was the largest recorded in AAA history. The opening game saw the players from Carihi and Cowichan drenched in sunshine as the incredible heat wave continued. Carihi dominated the game from the start and Cowichan was reduced to a couple of quick coun-

ter attacks and simply knocking long balls for their forwards to chase. Keeper Haley Craddock was alert at all times and controlled her defensive third of the field. The opening goal came 17 minutes in. A strong corner was knocked in from captain Claire Pomeroy and allowed to bounce freely in the penalty area. Selena Lasota was first to react and scored a volley from ten yards out. The Cowichan keeper

then made a couple of great saves to keep them in the game but she could do nothing about the Tyees second goal. Eilidh “Razza” Rasmussen knocked a ball across to “Pomey” who took the ball on her left foot, feinted to shoot and then cut back on her right before slotting the ball into the corner of the net. Lasota secured the third goal with a strike from eighteen yards out just before half time. The Tyees continued to put

pressure on the now tiring Cowichan team and the fourth came shortly into the second half from Anika Shelrud. The next goal was a result of tireless running by “Pomey” and Lasota. Lasota pressured the ball and pulled it back for “Pomey” to finish. The last goal was a firm strike from Shelrud from the top of the eighteen. All in all it was a very comfortable victory to secure a place in the final against Dover Bay who

had defeated Alberni 3-0. The final saw some old foes reunite. Carihi has met Dover on six occasions in the final, most recently last year when they won 4-0. The opening twenty minutes was an even affair. It was a keeper error that provided the opportunity for the first Tyee goal. A f re e k i ck w a s knocked into the box and it seemed as though the Dover keeper had the ball

in her arms only for it to pop out. “Razza” was the first to react and Carihi had their lead. Moments later a shot from Shelrud was saved by the keeper only for Karlyn Healy to pounce upon the rebound and tap in the second goal. Just before half time “Razza” found the corner of the net. In the second half, “Pomey” scored a superb individual goal while the fifth goal was scored by “Razza” dancing into

After returning to Canada, one of the Grade 11 girls observed, “My perspective of what it takes to be happy changed enormously. Before, I was happy because of material things, and the people of Nepal were happy and loving, and willing to give back themselves, even though they had almost nothing.

The Campbell River volunteers put their backs into building an irrigation canal for farmers.

I feel as if every person on Earth should try to achieve happiness like that in their lives.” The lessons learned about culture, survival and what lives are like in different parts of the world were something that could never have been taught in a class-

Getting older? Changing careers? No need to fear, says 3D gal Have you been faced with having to make a career change in mid-life, perhaps caused by circumstances out of your control? Many people have experienced this situation, with the fear and uncertainty that can go with it. On Wednesday, May 15, 2-3 p.m., at the

Campbell River Library, Powell River author Linda Wegner presents a program based on her recent book “3D SuccessChanging Careers in Mid Life.” Her book is a universal story that will inform and encourage every person who has had to face the loss of a job and/or a career change in mid-

dle age. Inspired from her own experience, it briefly chronicles Linda Weg- her perner. sonal journey from being a longtime pastor’s wife to primary wage earner after her husband’s health

failed. The primary focus of the book, however, is a compilation of advice and lessons learned in setting up her successful business. “For those contemplating a career change, this book chronicles my journey through the maze of validation, discovery, and persistent action: the

validation of my known strengths, the discovery of those strengths I did not know existed and the development of a determined plan of action that did not include quitting. I took aim at victory.” Wegner writes in the introduction to the book. Her formula for success arose from three overarching personal goals:

Discover your passion; develop your plan; and defend your priorities. Her “3D Success,” as she calls it, can be a guide for anyone facing a major change in life – be it career or otherwise. Wegner’s experience in conducting retreats and seminars includes seven years as a workshop consultant with the Agricul-

tural Institute of Management in Saskatchewan and, more recently, as a workshop presenter for older workers through Powell River’s Career Link office. This is a free program and all are welcome. The Campbell River Library is located at 1240 Shoppers Row. Pre-registration is not required.

Anglers throughout British Columbia will be reeling in more than just their favourite fish this summer. Coinciding with its 10th anniversary, the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC is launching a new province-wide research project that requires the help of anglers – in return for rewards totalling more than $15,000. Beginning this month and continuing through fall 2013, the society is marking approximately 300 of its catchable size, hatchery-raised rainbow trout with individually numbered neon-pink tags bearing a toll-free number. The trout were released into 40 fishing lakes around the province. Anglers who catch one of these tagged fish are asked to remove the tag and call the toll-free number. Provided they have a current BC fishing licence and any required stamps, the society will send the first 150 “tag reporters” a $100 reward. Subsequent tag reporters will receive gift certificates of various values for fishing supplies. The specific locations of the tagged fish releases are not being revealed, but the society confirms that fish will be released into multiple stocked lakes including Vancouver Island.

A lot of cyclists seem to think they can ride their bicycle on a pedestrian crossing. This is also wrong. The law states you must PUSH your bicycle across the crosswalk. Cyclists are required to ride on the roadway,

Whoever you are... wherever you are... I have just one thing to say to you.... Thank-You From Martin Jurek 7x14

Thank-you for referring your friends, family and co-workers to Campbell River Hearing Clinic. You know who you are: a client who’s rediscovered the simple joy of hearing; a physician who’s trusted us to provide the best care for your patients; or perhaps just a casual stranger with whom I once struck up a conversation. Whatever the reason you referred us, we sincerely appreciate it. We look forward to helping many more of your friends and neighbours improve their quality of life through better hearing, and we’re truly grateful that you’ve become a part of that mission. So thank-you. Let’s face it...

Advertising is expensive. When we first came to Campbell River four years ago, it was tough building our business. We didn’t have nearly the advertising budget of the big hearing care chains (and we still don’t). But we worked hard, gave what we felt was great service and treated our clients with respect. Today, more than 70% of our new clients are referred to us by a doctor, friend or colleague. You’re bombarded with advertising messages every minute of the day, with each advertiser saying they’re better than the last. So rather than use this space to add to the clutter, I wanted to simply write something from the heart: Thank-you. Your positive outcomes and glowing words have made our business what it is, and we truly appreciate every one of your referrals. Thank-you for trusting us with your hearing care Thank-you for sharing your success story with others Thank-you for referring us to your friends, co-workers, family or patients Thank-you for being a part of this community we love so much. A special thanks to two special ladies I get a real rush whenever clients tell me how I’ve helped improve their life by helping them hear better. It’s why I love what I do. But I’d like to acknowledge the two truly unsung heroes of Campbell River Hearing Clinic: Jana Jurek and Janeen Matheson. Janeen, you’re generally the first friendly voice our clients hear when they call the clinic and the first smiling face they see when they walk through our door. You’re extremely personable, our clients love you and you deserve to be acknowledged for the great work you do. Thank-you. Jana, you know as well as I do that you’re the heart, soul and brains of this operation. You work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure we can give our clients the kind of service that makes them want to refer us, but rarely

do you get the appreciation you deserve. So thankyou. You’re my wife, my business partner and my soul mate. I couldn’t do any of this without you. Thank-you For helping us help Campbell River hear better Have you purchased hearing aids from us and are

not completely satisﬁed? I know how it feels to pay for something but not get exactly what you’d hoped for. Let me assure you: if you’re not completely satisﬁed with the performance of your hearing devices, there’s ALWAYS something more we can do. Please bring them in, and we’ll adjust them for you until your hearing is the best it can possibly be.

Three crucial ingredients for restored hearing and communication:

1. Your readiness and motivation

The greater the degree of hearing loss, and the longer you’ve lived with it, the longer it will take to make new sounds sound “normal.” So you have to be ready to be patient. Don’t worry though – your investment will pay off in the improved quality of your relationships. 2. Your hearing care provider Ultimately, a successful solution to hearing loss hinges on the relationship you establish with your hearing care professional, and the trust inherent in that relationship. He or she will be your guide as you re-learn the listening and communication skills that may have atrophied due to hearing loss.

Perception and comfort level is different for every individual – so even though many precise measurements are taken to prescribe and program appropriate device settings, there is still an “art” component to a successful hearing solution. The person programming your hearing instruments needs to be highly discerning and sensitive to how these variables apply to you.

ing a hearing device can be daunting. Your hearing care provider can help determine the most appropriate solution based on your degree and type of hearing loss, your listening needs and several other factors. It’s all about YOU

Yes, hearing aids are important too. The most important considerations are that they give you excellent sound quality and are comfortable, reliable and easy to use with minimal effort on your part. In fact, you should forget you’re wearing them at all.

At Campbell River Hearing Clinic, we can help you hear better, but our main objective is to help you listen and communicate better. What we won’t do is try to “sell” you anything. We don't like it when people do it to us, and we’d feel bad ourselves if we did it to you. We will, however, help you ﬁnd the information you need to make informed decisions about your hearing. If we can help you beyond that, it will be when you’re ready.
