An evening of victory and disappointment MLA glad to be back, but wasn’t expecting to be in opposition Paul Rudan Campbell RiveR miRRoR
With her third straight election victory virtually assured, Claire Trevena allowed herself to smile late Tuesday night. It wasn’t the happiest smile though, as she simply pointed to the television screen and the numbers showing another majority government for the BC Liberal Party. “Let’s be honest, it’s going to be a hard four years,” she told supporters a few moments earlier at the Campbell River Labour Hall. It was an evening of accomplishment and disappointment for Trevena, 50, who is once again headed

Students buck trend Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR
If it was up to Campbell River high school students, the Liberal Party’s Nick Facey would be the North Island’s new MLA while local elementary schools voted with their adult counterparts for the NDP’s Claire Trevena. Cedar, Pinecrest and École des Deux Mondes elementar y schools, along with Timberline Secondary School, on Monday and Tuesday joined schools across B.C. in voting in their own provincial elections. “Elementary and high school students across the province participated in Student Vote – a parallel election program coinciding with the British Columbia provincial election,” said Kate Fang of Student Vote/CIVIX, a national charity aimed at encouraging young Canadians to participate in their democracy. “After learning about the democratic process, researching the party platforms, hosting candidate forums and debating the future of British Columbia, students cast their ballots for local candidates.” A total of 376 students
cast ballots at Timberline, with Facey coming out as the winner with 175 votes, edging out incumbent and winner of the actual election, Trevena, who had 145 votes. Bob Bray of the Conservatives received 56 votes from high school students. At Cedar school, Trevena came out on top with 13 votes, Facey was second with two and Bray got one vote. Students at Pinecrest school threw 22 votes Trevena’s way while Facey received 14 votes and Bray got eight. Thirty-two students in the École des Deux Mondes francophone program also participated in the student vote, with 19 students electing Trevena, while nine voted for Facey and four voted for Bray. Overall, Trevena was elected on the North Island with 334 votes, Facey was second with 299 and Bray came in third with 113 votes. A total of 746 students cast votes from 11 participating schools in the region. Across the province, nearly 100,000 votes were reported from 666 schools representing 85 electoral divisions across the province. Students elected an

NDP government and a Liberal opposition. The NDP won 53 seats, forming a majority government, and captured 38.55 per cent of the popular vote. Leader Adrian Dix won his seat in Vancouver-Kingsway, receiving 59.52 per cent of the vote. The students’ vote nearly reflected Tuesday’s actual election, with Dix winning his seat with 63 per cent of the vote. The Liberals took 20 seats in the student election and 28.09 per cent of the popular vote. Premier Christy Clark lost in her Vancouver-Point Grey riding, receiving 28.50 per cent of the student vote, while NDP challenger David Eby received 40.42 per cent of the vote. Again, the student election mirrored reality with Eby unseating Clark by 785 votes. Students had the Green Party winning eight seats and capturing 17.28 per cent of the popular vote, with Green Party Leader Jane Sterk winning her seat in Victoria-Beacon Hill. The BC Conservatives won no seats in the student vote.

Bad turn
A woman was taken to hospital with minor injuries after a two-vehicle crash at Jubilee Parkway and S. Dogwood Street Wednesday morning. RCMP say the collision occurred when the woman, driving the black Ford pickup, turned left onto Dogwood in front of a commercial welding truck. It could have been worse, a large welder flew off the back of the truck and landed on the road while a 12-foot length of heavy channel iron went flying across the intersection and landed harmlessly by the roadside.
Lock your vehicles Police are urging residents to lock up their vehicles. There has been a spike in thefts from vehicles in Campbell River, and all have occurred from unlocked cars and trucks. There have been 14 thefts from vehicles reported since last
Saturday and half occurred in the area of Evergreen Road between Birch and Dogwood streets. The thieves have targeted loose change, but have also removed electronic equipment and other valuables, sometimes discarding those blocks away. “And with that, there have been a few complaints of thefts of bicycles
from yards and general trespass by night calls,” said RCMP Cpl. Poppy Hallam. “We believe the same people may be involved in the thefts from the yards as well.” Do not make it easy for thieves, she added, and lock up your vehicles and your valuables. If you hear suspicious activity at night, call the RCMP.

Kwong , w ho was invited by council to sit in on a meeting last month between the SPCA and city council to come up with an agreement to bring the SPCA back, said the two organizations are still speaking. “Talks are ongoing between the city and the SPCA,” Kwong said. “With the success of Go Loonie for the SPCA, council will hopefully understand that Campbell River is indeed a city with a heart. “There is a huge community support to bring back our SPCA and look after our animals who cannot speak for themselves.” Kwong said the SPCA is planning to hold a public meeting, possibly in mid-June, to answer questions and hear concerns from the public.

A community-wide fundraiser to bring the SPCA back to Campbell River has surpassed $10,000 – the magic number. City council promised to match any funds raised, up to a maximum of $10,000, through the Go Loonie for the SPCA fundraiser challenge which kicked off May 1 on the front lawn of city hall as Acting Mayor Larry Samson declared May SPCA month in Campbell River. Veterinarian Helen Kwong reported that $10,509 has already been raised, with exactly two more weeks to go. “It’s official, Merecroft Veterinary Clinic has exceeded the $10,000 mark,” an excited Kwong posted on the Campbell River SPCA’s Facebook
page. Just one week prior, Kwong revealed they were nearing that goal. “The Merecroft Veterinary Clinic total stands at $9,642 as of 5 p.m. on May 1,” Kwong said. “I can already see that big, fat $10,000 cheque from the City of Campbell River.” The total fundraised is likely even greater than what the vet is reporting, as the Go Loonie fundraiser has been taken on by local businesses and individuals who are raising their own dollars through a series of challenges and putting all the money raised into an account at Scotia Bank. Kwong’s goal is to make up the shortfall between the SPCA’s offer to the city of $80,000 to provide animal impound services and the $400,000 the SPCA said it costs to run the local shelter each

The seniors society, which is looking for money from city council for a new centre, is clarifying its request to the city. Bruno Fornika, chair of the seniors society building committee, and Helen Whitaker, recorder for the building committee, made a presentation to council three weeks ago asking for $250,000 to help with the costs of acquiring and setting up its own building to house the seniors centre. Following the presentation, Coun. Andy Adams said the city was not in a position to hand over that amount of money. “As most of you are aware, we finished our financial plan for this year, which included all the allocating of the gaming funds,” Adams said. “So I think whatever request we have will be taken into con-
2X7 2X7 CASHIER
sideration for the next fiscal year moving forward.” One day later, Fornika wrote a letter to the city clarifying what the society is looking for. “Yesterday the Campbell River Seniors’ Centre Society made a request for a commitment to make available to the society an amount of $250,000 to be held in trust until such time as the society required that amount for renovation, alteration or remodelling of any future property we might acquire,” Fornika said. “We did not expect, or even desire, that this amount be given to us at once. The fact that your budget has been
set for this year is obviously a given. What we require from you is the commitment now, not the money.” Fornika said the society is also aware that more gaming funds may be coming to the city before the fall. The society currently runs the Seniors’ Centre out of a vacant space in the Campbell River Common mall. However, that space will soon be unavailable and the seniors will be moving next month to the former Iron Kettle location in the mall. While Fornika has repeatedly said the seniors appreciate the generosity of mall owner Alan Edie, who
has allowed the seniors to set up shop rent free, the new space means the seniors will lose 500 square feet. The seniors ideally want a building with at least 8,000 square feet to accommodate a growing membership of nearly 530 seniors and programming for members. Whitaker told council the society has “left no stone unturned” in the search for a new building. The society is interested in the former École Mer-etmontagne school on the corner of Evergreen and Petersen, but is still waiting to meet with School District 72, which owns the building.

organization,” said Barry Watchorn, chair of the committee. “Council’s Finance Policy states that, ‘the Community Partnership Program is designed to support community groups with the delivery of major events and/or services.’” The committee acknowledged that the national workshop will provide economic benefits and recommended the association be advised to contact Rivercorp for assistance. At last week’s Tuesday council meeting, Coun. Mary Storry wasn’t keen on that recommendation. “Rivercorp has set their budget already and can’t afford this,” said Storry who didn’t want to waste time and have Campbell River miss out on the opportunity to become a sponsor. Mayor Walter Jakeway said the workshop is a great way to highlight Campbell River and suggested the city dip into its pockets to find the money.

A national airport convention that will inject thousands of dollars into the community had its bid for financial assistance denied by a city committee. The Canadian Airports Electrical Association, a federal nonprofit formed to facilitate annual workshops, selected Campbell River to host this year’s event. The Association applied for a $5,000 grant-in-aid from the city to help with the costs of hosting the workshop which will be held at Painter’s Lodge Sept. 22-27. But the city’s Community Partnership Committee, which looks over all grant-in-aid requests, recommended council deny the application. “ The committee reviewed CAEA’s (Canadian Airports Electrical Association) application and recommends that the request be denied because the association is not a community

Council voted to deny the request for funding from the grant-in-aid program, but instead decided to give the association the $5,000 from council’s contingency fund. Coun. Andy Adams agreed with Jakeway that the convention is the type of event the community needs. “I think this is a great initiative and the type of event we want to come to Campbell River,” Adams said. “The reason I voted against it (as a grant-in-aid) is because I didn’t feel it was in the current community partnership mandate.” The Canadian Airports Electrical Association expects 70-90 people will attend the workshop as delegates and 25-35 businesses will be at the tradeshow which will be held Wednesday, Sept. 25 at the Community Centre as part of the convention. Murray Ames, Campbell River Airport Electrician, said having the
event come to Campbell River is unique for the association. “The Campbell River Airport is by far the smallest airport to ever host CANEW (Canadian Airports National Electrical Workshop) as all previous airports have been international airports in larger cities,” Ames said. “Campbell River is also the smallest city to ever host. People attending CANEW will be staying in local hotel rooms, eating at our restaurants, shopping and visiting our tourist attractions. Some will be coming to Campbell River prior to CANEW, others will stay beyond the workshop which will bring additional spending to the community. We see return visits for holidays once the people have seen what we have to offer, especially for coastal locations.” Ames noted that if the workshop is successful, Campbell River should be added to the rotation for hosting the workshop in future years.

because she fell to her NDP opponent. Clark, who can now continue to remake the party in her own image, is expected to run in a byelection vacated by a successful and loyal Liberal MLA. Clark will have only two Liberal MLAs from Vancouver Island. One of them is Don McRae, who won in the Comox Valley for the second straight election. The popular McRae will almost certainly be in Clark’s cabinet again, likely returning to the highprofile education portfolio. – Black Press
Letters
Exciting times ahead The BC Salmon Farmers Association would like to extend our congratulations to Liberal Leader Christy Clark and the BC Liberal Team for last night’s election win. We especially want to congratulate those MLA’s who will be representing our salmon farming communities in the legislature. Public service is never easy and we were pleased to see so many people put their name forward to represent their communities. We look forward to working with new and returning MLAs over the next four years and continuing our strong working relationship with the government. BC is entering an exciting time, with many new possibilities and challenges on the horizon. We are looking forward to working with the government on a variety of issues, including how we in the aquaculture industry can grow and prosper while supporting communities and protecting the environment. We look forward to the important discussions that will take place about those issues close to the hearts of British Columbians – the future of health care, education, and social services – while also discussing the economic drivers that will be needed to fund those services.

Clark’s election win confounds the ‘experts’
Tom Fletcher B.C. Views
The pollsters, pundits and the selfstyled rebels of the B.C. Liberal Party were struggling for answers as their conventional wisdom went out the window on election night. In came the B.C. Liberals and Christy Clark for a fourth term, with a 50-seat majority that is stronger than the one they took into the 2013 election. “Welcome to the club,” Alberta Premier Alison Redford wrote on Twitter on election night, referring to Redford’s own win in the face of a wall of polls and pontificators saying she was done. Here’s the next thing to ignore from the media experts who rub shoulders with those pollsters and political strategists. It’s all about the negative ads, they will say, and NDP leader Adrian Dix’s
big mistake was to run a “positive” campaign. Rubbish. Was their long fight against the harmonized sales tax a positive campaign? Is piling on sham environmental reviews for the express purpose of killing industrial projects a positive idea? “Clearly our message didn’t get out the way we wanted it to get out,” Dix said after watching one of the biggest comebacks in Canadian political history. That’s rubbish too. He got his message out just fine, serving it up in bite-sized pieces in a classic front-runner’s campaign that cynically put off the most difficult choices. He was going to expand government, and restrict industrial development to appease urban voters. Dix’s most dramatic policy shift con-
tributed to his undoing. Mid-campaign, in a decision that surprised even his platform co-chairs, Dix turned against the proposal to twin the TransMountain oil pipeline that winds across B.C. from Alberta to Burnaby. Well, not the pipeline itself, but the prospect of more oil tankers in and out of Vancouver harbour. At least now, more people will understand that Vancouver has been an oil port for nearly a century, and that Canada’s future includes energy development. More people should also appreciate that environmental assessment is not a political game. Andrew Weaver made history as B.C.’s first Green Party MLA. He came out swinging against Clark’s economic holy
grail, development of liquefied natural gas exports from the North Coast. Weaver calls LNG a “pipe dream” that will never materialize. It will be interesting to watch him as he is proved wrong on that, and then as he grapples with gas as a transition fuel that can be used to develop clean energy infrastructure. B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins ran a distant third in his Langley constituency, and his goal of a breakthrough didn’t materialize anywhere. His idea of scrapping the carbon tax on fossil fuels didn’t impress many people, despite his focus on rural and northern B.C. Clark should heed the NDP on at least one thing. Dix promised to move

Centennial Park upgrades feedback opportunity There’s still time to share your thoughts about plans for upgrades at Centennial Park. The City of Campbell River hosted a public open House the evening of May 16 to showcase two conceptual designs developed for the Centennial Park upgrades. Both designs include the development of a multisport court between the two tennis courts and the installation of a natural playscape in the central core of the park. The designs and a questionnaire that asks for feedback on the two designs are available
online for people who were unable to attend the open house. To view the designs and complete an online questionnaire about the park upgrades, visit www.campbellrivercentennialpark.ca. The designs and questionnaires are also available at the Sportsplex, Community Centre and City Hall. Upgrade plans for Centennial Park are part of the City’s Strategic Parks Plan, which outlines a playground renewal program. According to the plan, Centennial Park playground equipment is slated for replacement
in 2013. Feedback from two focus groups was incorporated into the two conceptual designs that were presented at the open house. “Rather than replacing the traditional equipment with more of the same, the upgrades will introduce a natural playscape, which uses natural materials and site grades to create an outdoor play environment that changes from day to day and from season to season,” says Lynn Wark, the City’s parks project supervisor. “The concept is designed to encourage natural play that recon-
nects kids with nature and provides opportunities for creation of their own play, enhancing social skills and motor development as well as enhancing overall physical health.” Kathy Rae, Family Resource Coordinator at Sunrises Resources for Early Childhood Development, said that “in over 40 years working with parents and children, I have noticed that children connecting with the outdoors and natural playspaces in particular is diminishing at an alarming rate. There is so much research that doc-
uments the multitude of benefits achieved when children play in nature. This playscape will provide wonderful opportunities for children in Campbell River.” “Unstructured play spaces that integrate natural elements are now recognized as powerful – some research suggests critical – in assuring children’s physical and mental health, and intellectual development,” says Joyce McMann, Family Place Coordinator for Campbell River Family Services Society when reflecting on the natural playspace design.

Dix proposed it in his party’s election platform, so Clark will probably proceed with it. Another NDP idea Clark should adopt is getting the corporate and union money out of
election campaigns. She likely won’t, because her party’s financial advantage is too great, but the time has come for this important reform. The B.C. Liberals’ much-discussed “bal-
anced” budget will now be put to the test over the next few months. The legislature must be convened by September to debate that budget. This should be the last vote based on an
untested budget, and the first of many scheduled fall legislature sessions.

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

England since the mid 1800’s. The Immigrant Welcome Centre wants to make it a tradition here in Campbell River as well. This is a great chance to socialize with fellow
immigrants, and for the Immigrant Welcome Centre to get a better understanding of how they can serve English speaking immigrants. With this in mind the
second free Tea Party will take place on Tuesday, May 28 from 4:00 – 5:30 pm at the Robron Centre. “We would once again like to extend an invitation to immigrants
from the UK, US, New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, or anywhere else under the sun, to come and join us for tea, scones, clotted cream and great conversation,” said Rachel
Blaney, the Executive Director. For more information, please contact 250.830.0171 or Jodi.Grundle@ ImmigrantWelcome.ca.

haron Easton saw her mother and her grandmother fall victim to cancer. She knows she’s at risk for the disease but instead of worrying, she’s being proactive in the hope that others will not have to go through the pain of losing a loved one to cancer. Easton, an avid cyclist since age four, is for the first time taking on the Ride to Conquer Cancer – a challenging, 240-kilometre, two-day cycle from Vancouver to Seattle to raise money for the BC Cancer Society. Easton, along with all other participants must raise $2,500 which supports researchers, clinicians and scientists in the search for new discoveries and improved cancer patient outcomes. Easton will be riding
for a cause that’s close to her heart. “We’re on the ovarian cancer research team, OVCaRe,” Easton says. “My mother and my grandmother both passed away from ovarian cancer as did a childhood friend of mine a few years ago. It’s sometimes called the silent killer because often women don’t know they have it until it’s too late. I’m just trying to bring some awareness to it and I know I’m high risk.” Easton, 61, will be riding with a friend from Vancouver who conquered her battle with ovarian cancer six years ago and who will be riding in the tour for a fifth time. Easton’s husband Chuck, who also cycles but injured his knee skiing on the last day of the season, will be part of Easton’s support crew along with her friend’s husband.

nearly every day. Last Saturday, Easton did a 110 kilometre ride down to Courtenay and travelled out to Cumberland before riding back to Campbell River through Campbellton and back to her home in Oyster River. “As far as cycling goes I’m doing the opposite of what I think other people are doing,” Easton says. “That’s because I have endurance but I can’t go fast so I’m working on my time. Once I conquer the time, I increase the distance. Right now I’m at 109 kilometres at 21.1 kilometres per hour. My goal was 20 kilometres per hour so I’m over my personal goal and now my new goal is 22 kilometres per hour.” To raise the necessary funds to participate in the tour, Easton has a number of fundraisers lined up.

Municipal government touches day-to-day life The Chamber and City of Campbell River are co-hosting an event that includes networking, a buffet luncheon and a presentation by Jerry Berry on May 22 from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Royal Coachman. Tickets are available through the Chamber’s website at www.campbellriverchamber.ca/ events. “The upcoming Chamber luncheon, co-hosted
by the Chamber and City of Campbell River, provides an excellent opportunity to gain increased awareness of municipal government and the role it plays in the development, growth and prosperity of our community,” says Colleen Evans, Chamber President & CEO. “Municipalities around the world are experiencing a period of dynamic change with two key influences of
decentralization and democratization of governments. “Many significant decision making powers and responsibilities are being devolved to the municipal level. This shift depends on new relationships with residents and businesses, through identifying and assessing local needs and integrating these needs in to the decision making process and meaningful solu-
tions. “ As civic leaders and in their role as stewards of our community, municipally elected representatives arguably have the strongest influence over our day to day lives. Municipal politicians and staff collectively play a significant role in ensuring BC has a positive business environment by overseeing operations and capital budgets, setting land use
policies and providing the infrastructure needed to ensure a healthy and vibrant economy. It is important then that as a community

Dance like the Celts with Tara’s Irish dancers W ho were the Celts? Where did they come from? And where are they now? Dance of the Celts is a highly entertaining Irish dance show in which the mystery, intrigue and wonder of the ancient Celts will be vividly portrayed. Upon tracing the roots of the ancient Celts, it becomes apparent why Irish music and dance have universal appeal and why Irish Dance shows are enjoyed and celebrated throughout the world. The glorious music, fabulous costumes and stirring rhythmic dancing of Dance of the Celts ensures an exciting show that will appeal to family and friends alike. All of the Tara School of Irish Dancing’s productions are based on original scripts written and choreographed by dance director, Margaret Mullen. Mullen found the research into the story of the ancient Celts to be fascinating and says that many people think the Celts originated in Ireland. In fact the Celts originated in middle Europe and
mime, Mother Goose, recorded the original voice-over when Dance of the Celts was first produced in Kamloops in 2005. Coincidentally Walton and Mullen later relocated to the Campbell River/Comox Valley area and Mullen is looking forward to presenting the show here. Special guest is Campbell River Irish entertainer, John Reynolds, who has toured with the Irish Rovers for many years is being
brought back by popular demand. Reynolds will have the audience alternately laughing, shedding a tear or singing along to old favourites and popular Irish ballads. Reynolds’ range of musical and entertaining talent always has the audience enthusiastically responding and joining in the fun. he dancers and the audience alike enjoy his humour, music and professional showcasing of
Irish culture. Presented by the Tara Dancers Performance Association, Dance of the Celts will be at the Tidemark Theatre on Saturday, June 1 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Matinee $15; 7 p.m. Adults $20, Children, Students & Senior $15. Group ticket rates are available for purchase of six or more so ideal outing for family, friends and groups. Tickets from Tidemark Theatre: 250287-PINK

Trade on your artistic talents ENTERTAINMENT
W
ould you like to create and trade miniature works of art? Why not check out the next Artist Trading Card event at the Campbell River Art Gallery, Thursday, May 23rd at 7 p.m. Everyone is welcome, bring 15-20 cards to trade and tell your friends so there will be new faces and cards. Cards should be 2.5 inches x 3.5 inches exactly so they fit in the sleeves that are used for saving baseball cards. The theme is open. Original cards, not photocopies, are preferred. The cards are miniature works of art and are meant to be traded, not bought or sold. This is a fun, social and creative program that meets four times a year to swap trading cards. The only difference between these and sports trading cards is that you create your own homemade 2 x 3-inch trading card like a miniature work of art. Your cards can be painted, collaged, mixed media, photographs, three dimensional shapes, or found objects. There are no rules. It’s up to you where your creativity leads you. Sign the back as you would any art work and add contact info if you wish. ATCs have grown in

Party with Ten Times Bigger
This Saturday, Campbell River’s favorite rockers will be taking over the Legion Hall.

Ten Times Bigger is a trip through four decades of classic tunes. Showcasing cover songs from the Beatles, to ACDC, and everything in between. The trio, consisting of Ray Sharp on guitar, Larry Anderson on bass, and Ringer on drums, bring over 70 years of experience to the stage. This high energy, ultra tight act is well worth getting off the couch to go and see. Special guests, Andrew Baskin, Brian Wiley, and former Illegitimate Sons of Elvis drummer G-Roovey will also be appearing with the band Saturday night. Tickets are $10 and are available at The Music Plant, and at Balloons N More Party Shop in Willow Point. Doors open at 8 p.m., and the band gets going at 9. You must be 19 years old to attend.

I spent most of my policing career as a traffic cop. Yes, I have an outlook that many in the public don’t share, but they haven’t spent 25 years investigating collisions and seeing the aftermath either. Thank goodness for that, but maybe our politicians need a bit of experience similar to my own to temper their viewpoints.
TYEE CHEV A news item in the Tyee today has me
Not so our four party leaders. Two immediately responded about it being a cash grab, one suggested using a greater police presence and the last used the opportunity to point the finger at one of the others. My first thought is that they are out of touch and on reconsideration I expect that they are not going to dose us with the medicine that we do need at a time where they are looking to the public for employment.

He says that photo radar was an effective tool and that we should use technology where appropriate to free up police resources for jobs that technology cannot do today.

Agree with me or not, speed is a major component in many motor vehicle collisions. The consequences of collisions are severe and affect us all in many ways that we don’t stop to consider. Our politicians must stop to consider and should not be making ill considered remarks like those reported in the story.

COMMUNITY
Aquarium takes shape next door to the pier | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR | FRIDAY, MAY 17, 2013
T
he Discovery Passage Aquarium is becoming a reality and the progress can be followed down at the Campbell River Fishing Pier. Last week the foundation was put in place with the help of Campbell River’s Aztec Freight and Heidema Engineering and this week the carpenters are dominating the scene. The crew, donated by Seymour Pacific, is making good progress in putting the structure together. “We are overwhelmed with the generosity of the community. Donations of all types of supplies and professional work, as well as cash, are helping get the Aquarium off the ground,” said Mark Wunsch, President of Discovery SeaLife Society. The Society has just gained charitable status and can issue tax receipts for donations. Founding Sponsors to date include Daybreak and Noon Hour Campbell River Rotary Clubs, Seymour Pacific, BC Hydro, the City of Campbell River, the

“We want to create an informal, discovery type of atmosphere that isn’t always possible at large aquariums. Kids of all ages will be able to get up close and personal with all shapes and textures of marine life.” The Pacific Salmon Foundation has provided funding of $13,000 for a centerpiece of the Aquarium, a large cylindrical tank that will feature Campbell River’s salmon at the smolt stage that will
be provided in cooperation with the Quinsam Hatchery. The Aquarium is hosting two information sessions for anyone interested in volunteering, or just wanting to know more. Come down to the Pier Entrance Thursday, May 23 from 4-6 p.m. and Sunday May 26 from 10 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. (during the Pier Street Market) to register as a volunteer and meet some of the staff and Board. Volunteers can
also contact volunteers@ discoverypassageaquarium.ca or Volunteer Campbell River. Aquarium hours in June will be 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Sunday – Thursday, 10 a.m. – 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Admission costs are $6 for adults, $4 for children over 5, $18 per family; season passes are available on site. For more information or to make a donation online, see www.discoverypassageaquarium.ca.
Workers begin the setting up the Discovery SeaLife Aquarium beside the Discovery Pier.
Campbell River Salmon Foundation as well as the Pacific Salmon Foundation. A particularly popular donation choice is the annual tank sponsorship, which will be recognized by a sign with the sponsor’s name on the tank; the CR Salmon Foundation is supporting a tank to feature the estuary habitat of the salmon life cycle. “The Campbell River Salmon Foundation is excited by the opportunity to educate people
about this important part of the salmon’s life cycle,” said Rupert Gale of the CRSF. “About a dozen tanks are still available for this season and the funds will help us to develop and offer learning programs and displays about our plentiful marine life,” says Iris Wunsch, society treasurer. While the society directors have been “working” volunteers for over a year since the aquarium building was
purchased, the society has started fulfilling its promise to create jobs. Deb Cowper, the newly hired Aquarium Manager, says the sea life should be ready in their tanks for Ocean’s Day, June 8. She is leading the team of at least two full time seasonal interpreters. “We are all very much looking forward to showing off the amazing critters of Discovery Passage and will do that 7 days a week during the season,” said Cowper.

World Relief Fair bringing water to the world
In Black Creek access to water is not an issue. If you are on the water system, you simply turn on the tap and if you have a good, well you have water pumped into your house year-round.
When it rains, water runs down the streets and drains away to the ocean. This is not so in the Tonga region of southern Zambia where it is flat and semi-arid with
only small trees dotting the landscape. Residents of this area are challenged by increasing droughts and ever-longer dry seasons. The water level in wells and riverbeds is decreas-
ing, and many women and girls must walk several kilometers each day to find water. This walking and waiting in long lines for water takes time and energy from family, work and
schooling. Mennonite Central Committee is working with households and villages to increase the availability of safe nearby drinking water, clean unused boreholes, construct cement dams and sand dams, and repair or build earthen dams. Technicians are receiving training and tools for borehole repair. The coordinator is also administering a small loan fund to provide capital for farmers to purchase irrigation
equipment and for families to build latrines. For this project $18 pays for one bag of cement (Each dam requires 30 bags) and $590 pays to rehabilitate one borehole. To raise funds for these projects local Mennonites are having their annual MCC World Relief Fair Saturday May 25. There is a pancake breakfast at 8 a.m. The main fair starts at 9 a.m . and a live auction starts at 1 pm. Come experience ethnic Mennonite foods
, kid?s activities , rummage sale (including the contents of a defaulted storage unit), plants , baking and more.

Taking a bow
The generosity of the Campbell River Community Foundation will be put to good use by the Rivercity Players with a grant of $3,500 going toward the purchase of regulation fire doors, part of the renovation project at The Rivercity Stage on Hemlock Street. The renovations were implemented when previous owner and landlady, Michelle Nelson Woodrow, gifted the building to the community theatre group, who expect the 80-seat venue to be ready for the public this summer. Seen here - among the renovations - is Campbell River Community Foundation Director Jim Harris handing the cheque over to Rivercity Players President Linda Von Zuben, and director Penny Milbrandt.

Dirty those whites!
Corey Bukauskas slides safely headfirst back to the bag as the Victoria Red Eagles pitcher throws over to the first baseman during Saturday’s bantam AAA baseball game at Nunns Creek Park. Bukauskas along with Braxten Barnes and Jacob Ingersoll are all from Campbell River playing for the North Island Royals. The Comox Valley-based club split Saturday’s double header with the Eagles and then swept Sunday’s double header in Campbell River against the Victoria Black Eagles.
Peewee Ravens best top Island clubs at tournament
Campbell River’s peewee C Ravens celebrate with the trophy and medals after winning the Captain Cook Tournament in Victoria.
It was a golden weekend in Victoria for Campbell River’s peewee C Ravens lacrosse team. At the annual Captain Cook Tournament on May 10-12, the Ravens played six nail-biting games, but came out in top spot over Nanaimo, Juan de Fuca, Peninsula and the Cowichan Valley. “I am very impressed with how well the team has represented Campbell River on and off the field,” said coach Jason Wellard. “With many of the team being first-year lacrosse players they have made up any shortcomings in skill and experience by working harder than every team we faced.”
The team has melded in to a defensively-minded club backed up by one of the league’s best goalies, Emily Forbes. The Ravens also get reliable goal from Taylor Arbeau. Other offensive leaders include Jake Wilson, Ridge Rosa, Jamiliya Wellard, Jake Bryla, Jerome Lorenz, Jesse Patterson and Eran Hamer. As well Owen Wellard and Eric Forbes stepped up from novice and earned permanent spots on the team. Mathew Rivett, Riley Southerland and Peter VanGermeren are hard-working two-way players, and there’s the great checking one of Cameron Michalko, Finley Goodlif and Cameron King.

After a weeks worth of sun, Mother Nature brought on the rain on Saturday night. The Bomber cars, Dwarf cars and the IMCA Modifieds were all on the racing card for the Brian Sullivan Memorial night, which will be re-scheduled on May 25 when the Bomber cars race next. This weekend, May 18-19, marks the first monster truck show of the year, featuring three amazing vehicles. Rockstar and California Kid return to Saratoga Speedway, as well as Reversed Racer who is new to the Speedway. Rockstar and California Kid have been the two best trucks over the past three years, bringing huge wheelies and massive air every time they come. These three trucks are all part of the Monster Trucks Mafia, which is a group of some of the best monster trucks from all across North America. If you want to take a look at these trucks before race day, they will be on display at the Canadian Tire in Courtenay, Thursday, Friday and Saturday until noon. The hard-hitting Crash to Pass, Hornets, Roadrunners and Figure 8s will accompany the monster trucks over the two-night show, making this an event you don’t want to miss.

Spring Fling is all about fashion and compassion The second annual Spring Fling was another big success. It took place last Saturday night at the Quinsam Hall. The highlight of the evening was the big fashion show featuring vintage styles from the 1940s, ’50s, ’60s and beyond from Britches and Hose Clothing. There was also a silent auction, door prizes, music, more entertainment and some tasty food too.

In BC’s 2013 Budget, they announced a few initiatives for saving for education. One of them includes the BC Training and Education Savings Grant which is designed to help families start planning and saving earlier for their children’s post-secondary education. Your child may be eligible for this $1,200 grant if they meet these three criteria: Your child is born on or after January 1, 2007 Your child has an RESP before they turn seven Your child is a resident of BC To access this grant, you must open an RESP account before the child’s seventh birthday. Once the account is opened, the Province of BC will send you a letter indicating that the child is entitled to the $1,200 when they turn six years old. When the child reaches the age of six, the families are required to apply for the $1,200 savings grant through the RESP provider. This application process is designed to confirm that the child is a resident of BC. To maintain the child’s eligibility, the child must be a resident of BC when the application is made for the savings grant. There is no matching or additional contributions required in order to be eligible for this grant so long as you meet the eligibility criteria above. The guidelines to use the funds for the child’s post-secondary education are the same as those guidelines in place for using any RESP for post-secondary education.

Unplug….. and Imagine! Or a trip to outer space in a giant bubble! Or a creature with giant wings to take you on amazing adventures! Children have a tremendous capacity to imagine. Sometimes as adults we forget how fun, interesting, and calming this can be. Imagination unleashed can also be scary and worrisome. To small children, sometimes it’s hard to tell the difference between fantasy and reality. We can help young children learn, problem-solve and have fun with imagination and also to rein it in when it starts to lead them to worrisome places. Parenting Strategies Using Creativity and Imagination: 1. “Give children in fantasy what you are unable to give them in reality”. This is great for times when children are waiting in line, stuck in a car, or in any situation where they can’t get their needs met immediately; for example , “I’m hungry” while waiting in a line-up at the bank. This is a time to put imagination to good use and start a ridiculous story. (Acknowledge feelings first) “I know you are very hungry. Wouldn’t it be great if we had a Super- Sundae-making Robot waiting in line with us! What would you get him to make for you? “Children generally love this and will carry on a fun story for quite some time, often forgetting that their tummy has not been immediately filled. 2. Play Imagination games to help children learn fantasy vs. reality. For example, “Let’s each tell two stories about our day; one real story and one make-believe story. The rest of us can try to guess which one really happened. Who wants to go first? “ 3. Children can learn to have more control over fears and worries if they learn to “boss around their imagination”. First they must understand what imagination is, so you can draw, play make-believe, and sing “improve” songs together, using the word “imagination” often as you are playing. Then you can teach kids to say “Stop! Imagination, you are getting out of control! ”. Help your child change up the story their imagination is creating to have a more safe and happy plot.

Unplug….. and Sing! Did you know that singing with your children can help their development! Do you recall the silly songs you sang as a child such as “Old MacDonald had a Farm”, “Down by the Bay” and the “Hokey Pokey” with all its actions? That is what it is really all about – basic simple silly songs to sing with your children. Spending time with your children is such a powerful activity that we seldom think about its benefits. Why? - You ask! Singing these traditional and classic children songs and nursery rhymes with your child or children has benefits, including building your parenting skills by creating those special parent-child moments and allowing you to take advantage of these teachable moments. It is amazing to think that these opportunities can support a child’s healthy social, emotional and intellectual development. Making music and singing and moving to the music as a regular part of your child’s life can support their physical development as well as build confidence as they learn about themselves and their relationship to the world around them. Start a regular routine of singing songs with your child, wherever you might be – driving to and from the grocery store, walking through a park. Repeat the song a few times and encourage your child to sing along or mimic the sounds such as the animal sounds in Old MacDonald had a Farm. Your child will build confidence in expressing themselves as well as increasing their vocabulary and knowledge about the world around them. Not only that, they will benefit from having these special
moments with you! The music and singing can be extended to include books and stories about the songs you sing and vice versa. When several children are together and singing songs, they can also learn the social skill of taking turns and sharing. As children sing and clap to the beat of a familiar song, they are also learning a sense of rhythm that will assist with their speech and language development. They will become attuned to the individual syllables of the words they hear and then repeat them. They will learn that certain sounds, when put altogether, form the words that can then be found on the pages of the books we share with them. Repetition is the key to helping children learn, especially when they are young. What do children gain by singing? Literacy, language development, social skills, emotional development and good times with Mom and Dad! If you are looking for opportunities to sing and play with your child, please check out the programs offered through the Campbell River Family Network. There are numerous FREE programs for parents with young children in our community such as Family Place, Family Gym programs, StrongStart and the excellent programs offered by child care providers in our community. Written by Eleanor Gee, Child Care Consultant with PacificCARE, Child Care Resource and Referral Program. Our office is located at 205-437-10th Avenue in Campbell River or by calling (250) 203-6022.

Unplug…..and Read! Sitting with your baby or toddler with a book is a great way to build a positive relationship with your child. When the stresses of the day get overwhelming ask your child to choose a book and find a quiet spot to cuddle up and enjoy some time together. Book time builds speech skills, teaches how a book works, exposes your child to new words, introduces thinking skills and better prepares children for the task of learning to read. Babies and toddlers love books! It is a time when they have your undivided attention, at least for a short period of time. Remember that attention spans at this age are very short and the story reading may not last long, but any time spent in such a lovely pastime benefits the future of your child as a learner. If you do not have access to books in your home here are a few ideas that will allow you to expose your child to a wide variety of reading. Use the library, our local library loans out tubs of books for young children. These are excellent kits of materials that are free to borrow. The library also has early learning games that are fun and easy to use. Library cards are free and can open up a whole world of reading. Shop garage sales for used books. Children’s books are often found at garage sales or are very reasonably priced at used book stores. Ask friends and neighbours to share; often as children grow there are extra books in a home that can be shared with younger readers. Campbell River Literacy Now helps get you started by sponsoring Books for Babies Bags that are given to new babies at their first immunization at the Health Unit. All new babies are entitled

Hiring a babysitter takes careful consideration One of the primary roles of parents is ensuring their children are safe and well-cared for and receive the necessities in life. But sometimes parents need time away from the kids to recharge their batteries. In such instances, parents often fret over finding reliable childcare. Hiring a babysitter is not always easy, and many parents take extra steps to ensure the babysitter they hire is the right match for their children. Parents are understandably uneasy about leaving their children in the hands of a stranger. That is why so many parents rely on relatives, including grandparents and aunts, to act as babysitters.
Every Day is a new
But many people no longer live in close proximity to their relatives, forcing parents to look outside the family for a babysitter. Finding a babysitter should begin with a careful consideration and investigation of applicants. Although horror stories of children being mishandled while in the care of nannies and sitters are few and far between, parents still worry that something can happen to their children when the kids are left in the hands of someone other than Mom and Dad. Here are some tips parents should keep in mind before hiring a babysitter. * Start your search within your own community and network of friends. Mommy online forums, church clubs and social groups associated with your child’s school are good places to network with other parents and find out about good babysitters in the area. Many parents have hired the son or daughter of a close friend to babysit their children. If that is not an option, many Web sites offer free or low-cost listings of local sitters. These services often use third parties to vet the applicants and may offer everything from background checks to identity confirmation.

Hiring a babysitter takes careful consideration in the home are one of the leading causes of death for children more than 12 months old. Therefore, sitters should be physically and mentally capable of reacting should an accident or incident that requires emergency action occur. Babysitters who are knowledgeable in first aid or CPR are particularly attractive. * Ask for references. When narrowing down candidates, parents should ask for references and be sure to follow up. Ask pointed questions about the candidate’s skill set, including the type of care they provided, how many hours the sitter was capable of working and if there were any incidents, positive or negative, that stood out. Inquire about the sitter’s temperament and ability to follow directions and how well children responded to the sitter. * Let prospective candidates interact with your children. Once potential candidates have been vetted, let them spend time with your kids to see how they interact with the children and how the kids react to each candidate. The most qualified individual will not work out if he or she does not have a rapport with the children.
certain period of time. As the relationship between the sitter and your children becomes more comfortable, you can stay out for longer periods of time. The sitter should be aware of all rules and expected conduct while in the home and caring for children. When hiring a sitter, many parents trust their gut instincts. But no matter how reliable your instincts are, it still helps to vet candidates as thoroughly as possible.

Encourage children to floss Learning to brush their own teeth is a lesson all children must master. Although parents ultimately may have children who become proficient at brushing their own teeth, getting them to floss is generally more difficult. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 41 percent of children aged 2 to 11 had tooth decay in their first teeth. Dental caries are common among children, likely because they have not become proficient at taking care of their teeth. Soft, sticky foods are commonplace in young kids’ diets, and these can promote decay. Even well-intentioned gummy vitamins can be sources of dental decay. Oftentimes, these foods become lodged
between the teeth or on the surface of molars. If left in contact with the teeth for too long, food particles become a source of carbohydrates for oral bacteria, and cavities may appear as a result. To remove food particles from between the teeth, children must floss, advises the American Academy of Pediatric Dentists. It is recommended that parents help their children to floss as soon as two teeth are touching and continue to do so until the child is around the age of 8, when a child should have enough dexterity to do it on his or her own. Flossing is essential to making sure children do not experience cavities at an early age, and it can establish practices that promote oral health throughout life. Despite being so important, many parents fail to encourage flossing or are at a loss as to how to make it enjoyable and effective. Although regular dental floss is one of the first tools for flossing, the dexterity required to wind the floss around little fingers and then thoroughly clean the teeth may discourage children. Parents can look into the wide array of flossing helpers available at the store. In fact, many age-appropriate flossers are now available that feature fun designs and smaller profiles to fit into kids’

The right age to gift children mobile phones Gadgets often top the list of desired gifts for the holiday season. Adults and children alike fawn over the latest technology, and giving a loved one a new phone, portable video game console, tablet or e-reader for the holidays is sure to please. When gifting children with the latest tech gifts, parents typically ask themselves if a child is mature enough to handle the responsibility of having his or her own mobile phone. There is no clear-cut answer to this question, and it is up to the gift-giver to assess the maturity levels of the gift recipient as well as his or her behavior when considering giving the gift of a mobile phone.
locations, these phones can make children widely accessible from a communications standpoint. It can be quite easy for a child to take and share a photo with someone inappropriate, and vice-versa. Find out the reasons behind why your son or daughter wants the phone. Is it simply for texting, or is it to have emergency contact with home? Knowing the reasons why a child wants the phone may make the decision easier. * Safety: Cell phones make it easier for parents to monitor their children when they are away from home, providing some peace of mind. * School rules: In many institutions, cell phone use is prohibited during school hours or phones may not even be allowed on school property. This is something to keep in mind before purchasing. * Accessibility: A child does not need a smartphone, so parents should buy a phone that doesn’t offer all of the bells and whistles. Not only will this cut down on the cost, it could help prevent irresponsible behavior as well. Many children want their own cell phone, in part because they see their parents and others on the phone. But it’s wise to consider the pros and cons of giving children cell phones before telling children they can have one.
Today’s cellular phones are much different from the ones that flooded the market 10 to 20 years ago. Although the concept of a mobile phone has been in place since the late 1940s, it wasn’t until 1983 that mobile phones became commercially available in North America. Phones once did little more than just dial a call, and even then service was spotty. Now phones are mini-computers, able to make and receive calls, take photos, access the Internet, download photos and text, provide GPS positioning, give directions, check e-mail, and so much more. Such cell phones can be invaluable, but their accessibility often makes parents and guardians think twice about gifting children with a mobile phone. Those who are carefully considering purchasing a phone as a holiday gift for a tween may want to consider the following. * Reliability: How well does the child take care of his or her belongings? Are keys constantly being lost? Are you often replacing items that were just purchased? If so, the child may not be ready for a cell phone. Although many mobile phone companies offer promotional prices on phones this time of year, buying a phone can still be a considerable expense. Adding insurance to that phone will cost even more. Cell phones may only be for children who have a good track record of caring for and keeping important belongings. * Maturity level: Some children seem to be born wise beyond their years. Others are eternal Peter Pans. It is unwise to base a cell phone purchase simply on age alone. Parents typically have a grasp of their child’s maturity level, so it should be easy to determine if they are mature enough to handle the responsibility of a cell phone. * Features: Mobile phones, particularly smartphones, offer a bevy of different features. From social networking to mapping physical

Flossing

mouths more easily. Flossers may be attached to a handle to make back teeth more accessible and promote more effective flossing. Manufacturers such as DenTek, Butler GUM, Plackers Kids, Dr. Fresh, Oral-B, and Brush Buddies offer children’s flossers. Kids who shy away from flossing may be more likely to use a children’s water flosser. In lieu of string floss, a water flosser uses a pressurized stream of water to dislodge food from between teeth. Although a water flosser may be more messy, children may enjoy the opportunity to “play” with water and the cleaning sensation provided. To prevent the buildup of plaque and the development of dental caries, parents should educate children about proper flossing techniques.
