A 25-year-old Port McNeill man can think about the consequences of excessive speeding…while riding the bus. The man’s 2013 Subaru 20R was impounded for seven days and he was fined $483 after being caught doing twice the posted speed limit near Campbell River on the Highway 19. It was Friday afternoon when the small black sports car was spotted by the RCMP’s North Island Integrated Road Safety Unit. The car was doing 221 kilometres an hour in a 110 kilometre zone, before passing an intersection where the speed dropped to 90 kilometres an hour. “Adding to the danger was the high volume of traffic at the time, and windy weather conditions,” said Const. Ingrid Calibaba in a news release. Motorists across Vancouver Island are reminded that traffic officers will be out in force this summer. If you observe a vehicle driving in a dangerous manner, record the license plate, location, direction of travel, and then call police. If you believe the driver may be impaired, or their driving behaviour is putting other motorists at risk, call 911.

The legacy of Roderick Haig-Brown was honoured at River Sportsman on Sunday with a carving of the famed writer and naturalist.

e was a father to British Columbia’s environmental movement, a father to anglers in the province, and even a father to nature writers, so it was fitting that on Father’s Day, a

local business paid tribute to Roderick HaigBrown in a big way on Sunday. “This is a wonderful tribute to a fatherhood figure,” said Ken Enns, owner of River Sportsman, one of Campbell River’s most longstanding outdoors stores. “We should all look up to Mr.

Roderick Haig-Brown.” Haig-Brown made the Campbell River famous through his writings about fly fishing which also made him an early spokesperson for conservation through the way he celebrated nature and advocated its preservation. Six years ago, Enns

commissioned carver Max Chickite, the cocreator of the Transformations on the Shore carving competition,

to create a life-sized wooden statue of HaigBrown. Chickite’s work on the carving was interrupted

by a stroke, from which he has fully recovered, allowing him to complete the carving. The carving was unveiled at River Sportsman on Sunday where it will be installed for all to enjoy. Enns’ tribute to HaigBrown didn’t end there, though. He also donated $10,000 on behalf of River Sportsman to the Haig-Brown Institute (HBI) which continues Haig-Brown’s legacy by promoting watershed conservation and the links between ecology and economy through literature and conservation. The institute also supports the writer in residence program at Haig-Brown House. Meanwhile, Alan Haig-Brown, the son

of Roderick, expressed his thanks to Enns on behalf of the HaigBrown family. Alan told the gathering about being reminded of his father and his love for the power of rivers here, in Europe and in his father’s native Britain. He was also reminded of the time his father spent with him walking the length of the Campbell and other rivers and brought out the “living, breathing excitement of a river.” Roderick also taught Alan and others not only about the spirit and power of rivers but also “our huge responsibility not to mess them up any more than we have.” “Thank you for honouring this man,” Alan said to Enns.

kids and their families at the Willow Point Park facility. After speeches paying tribute to many people involved in the eight year process to bring the proj-

New Canyon View Trail section will take your breath away – literally Paul Rudan Campbell RiveR miRRoR

Cardiac Climb, John Hart Haul, or maybe even New View Trail? Just a few suggestions for the new kilometrelong stretch being added onto the Canyon View Trail. “It’s starting look pretty good – I wonder what people are going to name this part?” says BC Hydro spokesman Stephen Watson as hikes up the bluff, the steepest section of the new trail. The new trail is now under construction by local contractors Upland Excavating and is actually a detour route. The trail is expected to be open by Labour Day, just in time for major work to begin on the $940-million project to replace the John Hart generating station. The project will be completed by 2018 and during that period the new detour will allow the public to skirt around and view the construction site while still being able to hike the muchloved Canyon View Trail. And Watson is well

aware of what the popular trail means to the people of Campbell River. BC Hydro held extensive public consultations as it planned the massive replacement project and the one theme Watson heard over and over again from the pubic was: What about the Canyon View Trail? The trail crosses the Campbell River at the current powerhouse and this area also provides key access to snorkelling and river tours. Due to the construction, that route will be closed off for five years and hikers diverted

through the detour. Watson pointed out the detour route is pretty nice, but it’s only designed to last at least five years. After the new powerhouse and surge tunnel is built, the detour will be deconstructed and the old trail re-established. Further up on General Hill, work is well underway to create a new parking area for Elk Falls Provincial Park. This will allow public access to Elk and Moose falls, as well as the trails through the old growth timber during the construction period.

A little dump “truck” allows for easy moving of trail materials.

SPCA to open doors by the end of July

NEWS NEWS

Kristen Douglas

Campbell RiveR miRRoR

The SPCA will return to Campbell River, the society’s chief executive officer announced to a delighted crowd gathered in the former Movie Gallery building Thursday evening. Craig Daniell, the SPCA’s CEO, revealed the news to nearly a hundred people at a public meeting in which Daniell praised Campbell River for its passion for animals. “ I ’m p l e a s e d t o announce we will be returning to Campbell River and we will be returning within the next two months,” Daniell said. “If all goes well, we hope to have the doors open by the end of July.” Daniell said the SPCA is in the process of finalizing a new location. What is certain is that the shelter will run out of a building that the SPCA will lease, likely for two to three years. Daniell said the SPCA will continue to care for animals, facilitate adoptions, conduct cruelty investigations, continue and increase its educational programs and

continue the spaying and neutering program. Daniell said the SPCA hopes to come to an arrangement with Coastal Animal Control, which runs the city’s dog pound, to take in impounded dogs. Daniell said the SPCA accepts it will more than likely continue to face an operating deficit each year (common with most SPCA shelters) – the SPCA has offered the city $80,000 to run its animal welfare services and Daniell said it costs the SPCA $400,000 to run the shelter each year. It was that deficit, which was compounded when the city awarded the city’s animal enforcement and pound services contract to Coastal Animal Control, that prompted the SPCA to pull its operations out of Campbell River over the Easter weekend. But strong opposition by the public and rallies on the lawn of City Hall were enough to make the SPCA take another look and come up with a way to make it work in Campbell River. Daniell said the SPCA never intended to abandon Campbell River. “At no time did we

Volunteers haul tons of trash from logging road WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 2013

People sign up on the Facebook page ‘Shame The Logging Road Dumpers’ Paul Rudan Campbell RiveR miRRoR

One of the city’s most atrocious illegal dumping grounds is a lot cleaner thanks to a group of volunteers. About 25 people spent the Father’s Day weekend cleaning up old couches, mattresses, yard waste and heaps of household garbage tossed aside on the Duncan Bay logging road “The group worked incredibly hard…hauling trash including heavy items up steep embankments, and loading the trash into dumpsters

and volunteered pickup trucks and trailers,” writes volunteer David Baar. Baar and his wife moved to Campbell River last year, largely due to the natural beauty of the area. The Duncan Bay logging road isn’t one of those areas. One stretch in particular – just north of the Shell Station located at Willis Road and the Inland Island Highway – has been used for years as an illegal dumping ground. It was so ghastly that two people decided to take matters into their own hands. Bud Logan and Kathleen Sharpe started a Facebook page “Shame The Logging Road Dumpers” a site that maps out illegal dumping grounds in the Campbell River area and invites other volunteers to help get rid of trash

that no one else wants to handle. “It saddens me that we have to spend our time cleaning up a great mess made by others, but it’s also a great opportunity to teach the younger members of your family about garbage and how to properly dispose of it,” Logan writes on the Facebook page. And last weekend they did just that. Arriving in pickups towing empty trailers, the volunteers came armed with rakes, shovels, garbage bags and plenty of gusto as they hauled away approximately 17.5 tonnes of garbage to the nearby municipal landfill transfer station. “This is an incredible amount of garbage,” writes Logan. “I hope people respect that and stop dumping in our bush – shame on them – but congrats to all the

volunteers who gave it their all. You guys are eco heroes.” Logan also sent thanks to B&D Containers which helped out and he’s

also hoping the regional district will waive the tipping fees the next time the group cleans up another unsightly site. “I will be building a list of illegal dump sites for

Vancouver Island and try to help in any clean up efforts that are made,” Logan writes on Facebook. “I hope to help – at least in a small way – to make our Island a clean

and beautiful place to be. If you know of any sites please let me know about it and I will post it here.” For more information, visit the Facebook page or e-mail bud@askbud.ca

Sikh children around the world play soccer and their headwear has never before been a safety issue. Even FIFA, the sport’s global governing organization that likes to micromanage every aspect of the game to ensure its integrity and accessibility to everyone is mute on the matter. Soccer players aren’t allowed to wear jewelry, but there are no rules regarding religious headwear.

has become an easy target. A religious medallion can be discreetly tucked into a shirt or behind a blazer. A ring or other jewelry is small, often only noticed close up. But a head covered in a turban, scarf or burka stands out in a crowd. Countries like France, Egypt and Turkey have banned the wearing of burkas in public for a variety of reasons, from concerns about security to the idea that they repress women. But really it’s about fear. The Quebec Soccer Federation’s turban ban was a step down that road. Its reversal is a victory for tolerance. – Black Press

Letters

Emcon are true friends

I am writing to acknowledge, with deep gratitude, the efforts that Emcon Services and their staff and Jim Abram, Strathcona Regional District Director, have made on behalf of the Outer Discovery Islands community. They have once again established themselves as true friends of the people who live out here. Approximately 250 people live in the outer islands area and many of us rely heavily on the Quadra Island road from Heriot Bay to the community dock at Surge Narrows. Surge Road is truly a lifeline for us. Much of that road is dirt and the terrain and elevation changes make it difficult to maintain. Winter storms can make it a particularly daunting and challenge at times. Over the years I have been continuously impressed by Emcon’s efforts to keep the road open and, in so doing, keep us connected to the outside world. They are very good at what they do. But this letter is prompted by something even better than exemplary service. Emcon has recently completed a section of road improvement that is especially important to us. They fixed a steep and constantly eroding slope that comprises the last one hundred or so feet of access to the beach

Why did we have to go through all this?

Alistair Taylor

Out On A Limb @AlstrT

editor@campbellrivermirror.com

It’s great news that the SPCA is up and running again in Campbell River. But, I have to say I’m still confused about this whole thing. Why did we go through all this? The community was plunged into all this anguish when the SPCA suddenly announced it was going to pull out of Campbell River because it had lost the city’s animal control services contract. The emotionally-charged issue prompted animal lovers in this community to take up the banner and lead a charge to reinstate the SPCA. People responded as they always do in Campbell River and $50,000 was raised from the community. Add the city’s promise of $10,000 and the SPCA is now back in business.

A shelter will be leased and the local branch will resume its adoption and education programs. Coastal Animal Control will continue to deliver the contracted animal control work – the dirty work of animal bylaw enforcement. The SPCA will do the community service work. So the situation in Campbell River will be much like it is in most communities on the Island. But it took $400,000 a year to run the pound, the SPCA has said. The community has raised $50,000 – a onetime fund. That $50,000 was enough to prompt the SPCA to continue to operate a shelter. So, again, I have to ask, why did the SPCA pull out in the first place after it lost the contract? It said it operated at

a deficit but most SPCA operations run at a deficit. The SPCA services in the Lower Mainland, Victoria and Kelowna run at a surplus and those surpluses subsidize operations in the smaller communities in the province. That’s the way it was before the Campbell River contract was lost and that’s the way it will continue, except now they’ve divested themselves of the enforcement role. So, what is different? Why did the SPCA suddenly pack up its operation and lay off its employees on a few days notice only to start up again after the community made it very clear it did not want them to leave? Was it spite? Did somebody at the SPCA have a hissy fit and say “Well, fine then” and pull the plug on the Camp-

bell River operation? SPCA CEO Craig Daniell told a meeting Thursday that the organization never intended to completely abandon Campbell River. Sure looked like it. City council took a lot of heat for its decision to go with the lowest bid. This is the council that’s taken heat for being spendthrift tax hikers. The $50,000 that was raised is an amazing community effort and a testament to the generosity of the community and the effort of the fundraising organizers, particularly Dr. Helen Kwong. But that $50,000 is a one-time thing. Or are we going to have to do this every year? It cost $400,000 to operate the shelter every year. Obviously, the SPCA is going to subsidize it like it did before and will continue to do.

Pesticides can be used safely Re: Eco-conscious ways to tend to your lawn (Mirror, June 14). I understand that homeowners are more environmentally conscious today and how they care for their lawns and gardens plays an important role in improving the environment. However, there was misinformation about pesticides provided in a

recent article that should be corrected. Readers should know that before any pesticide can be sold in Canada, it must first be approved by Health Canada. This process involves a comprehensive set of over 200 tests and a review of all scientifically credible studies that exist to ensure that the product will not cause harm to people, animals or the

environment. Through this process pesticides receive a greater breadth of scrutiny than any other regulated product and only those products that meet Health Canada’s strict health and safety standards are registered for sale and use. The fact of the matter is that pesticides used on lawns and gardens are designed as tools

to address specific pest problems infesting valuable landscapes. Pesticides help control threats to human health (such as rats and mosquitoes), they protect private and public properties from pest infestations and they help ensure that Canadians have a safe and affordable supply of food thereby contributing to healthier communities and greater well-being

gravel – dangerous and extremely challenging, especially for those of us who are a little older. But Emcon went the extra mile this time – literally. They volunteered their manpower and equipment to fix this stretch of road that is not part of their contracted work.

Jim Abram and the Strathcona Regional District provided a grant to purchase the materials required. This effort went way beyond the call of duty. Everyone should have such good neighbours. How do we properly say thank you to a road crew? One way is to do

it publicly. Thank you Geoff Battimelli for making this happen, Justin Burgers for seeing it to completion, Stu Travis for onthe-spot supervision along with Hugh and special thanks to all the members of the Emcon crew who did such a great job.

and prosperity. By all means, readers can practice other techniques to keep their lawns and gardens healthy, but they should know that pesticides can be safely used and Canadians should feel comfortable if they choose to use them.

City error complicates DNA test to determine real father sister city celebration DNA test KRisten douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR

A mistake by the city is threatening plans made by the Campbell River Twinning Society for delegates coming to visit from Ishikari in less than two weeks. City staff told the Twinning Society Committee it had more money to work with than the city actually does. City Manager Andy Laidlaw broke the news to three members of the committee who were in attendance at last week’s Tuesday council meeting. “I just wanted to apologize to the delegation about some information that may have been provided to them by staff,” Laidlaw began. “We indicated there was $62,000 in the account for Ishikari. In fact there is $62,000 in the reserve account for twinning and $25,000 of that is from money we received from the province of British Columbia to initiate a sister city with China. So if council wishes to go with the full $62,000 we would be required to pay the money back to ourselves in next year’s

budget.” In other words, nearly half of the money the Twinning Committee was told it had to plan a 30th anniversary celebration of the sister city relationship is actually earmarked for the city to establish a sister city bond with a community in China. That extra $25,000 could still be used to fund the delegates’ visit from Ishikari, Japan at the end of the month, but council would have to pay the money back next year as the province will want any unspent money returned. The Twinning Committee suggested council give the committee the full amount it has based its budget on – $60,000 for things such as a gift to the Ishikari delegates, business tours, a video presentation, translators, an events coordinator, and pipe band ambassadors. Mary Ashley, a member of the planning committee, said it would be a challenge to change the budget so late in the process. “It would be extremely difficult for us, I would say, based on previous experience, to cut back,”

Spirit2X4 Square

Ashley said. “I don’t imagine we could manage this whole process on $37,000 based on what we’ve done previously.” Colleen Evans, also a member of the planning committee, said time is of the essence and if the dollar amount that’s available changes, it would have to go back to the committee for a modified budget. Coun. Claire Moglove said she couldn’t support taking money that’s not really there. “An error appears to have been made,” she said. “I don’t believe in spending money we don’t have. The fact of the matter is, council didn’t put money aside over the last five years for this. Perhaps we should have. I would absolutely want to put money aside going forward.” Mo g l ove m a d e a motion to give the committee $37,000 – the amount in the reserve not including the $25,000 grant from the province. That motion passed with Mayor Walter Jakeway and Coun. Ron Kerr opposed. The delegates will be in Campbell River for the Canada Day celebrations.

ordered to prove who the real father is Paul Rudan Campbell RiveR miRRoR

Is it the husband’s child or a “stranger’s.” A paternity test will determine who exactly is the three-year-old’s father, after the B.C. Court of Appeal upheld a judge’s decision to order a DNA test. The case involves a Campbell River couple and another man who are only known by their initials in the court document. In 2003, N.L.W. and G.R.W. were married and then separated in April 2008. Soon after the separation, the woman became involved in a sexual relationship with the other man, known as R.J.P. However, by that September, the separated couple began talking about a possible reconciliation and then resumed their sexual relationship in October. In December, the woman found out she

was pregnant. By July 2009, the couple were back together and in September, a child was born. The woman believes the real father is her husband and that she was no longer having sex with R.J.P. when she conceived. However, the trial judge ruled otherwise, stating it was his belief the woman was having intercourse with both men in December 2008. Shortly after the child was born, R.J.P. applied

child, has a right to find out if he’s the father. As well, the application was for a DNA test and nothing more, and if he did turn out to be the father, he would have to make further court applications regarding access and custody. The couple appealed the judgement, but last month, following a hearing in Vancouver, the B.C. Court of Appeal upheld the decision to order a DNA test.

The couple opposed his applications in supreme court, portraying him as a “stranger” who was trying to disrupt their family. They also said the paternity test would detrimentally affect their family and, in particular, the child. But the judge ruled that R.J.P., even though he is a stranger to the

Roots songstress travels Island Roots songstress Allison Brown and brave mandolin accompanist ‘Uncle’ Dan Henshall embark this July on a 29-day ramble that brings them from the Southern Ontario heartland to Canada’s far west, riding the rails as part of VIA Rail’s On Board Entertainment Program for 10 shows on Vancouver Island. Uncle Dan makes his first cross-country trek this summer, while this adventure marks Brown’s fourth visit to Vancouver Island, where she recorded both her first and second full-length albums at the home studio of master of musical tradition, David Essig. Brown was also a featured artist at the Islands Folk Festival aside Duncan’s beautiful Mount Tzouhalem in 2010. The duo will be in Campbell River to perform July 6 at Nebitt’s Island Coffee at 7 p.m. Brown brings along a new collection of recordings on her ‘Secret Identity’ EP featuring four songs to be included on an upcoming full-length release. Produced with Andy Magoffin, ‘Secret Identity’ was recorded this May at Magoffin’s elusive House Of Miracles studio near Cambridge, Ontario. Fea-

Whimsy and beauty on garden, art tour Gardener Helen Whitaker relaxes in her whimsical garden.

‘Uncle’ Dan Henshall, left, and Allison Brown, right, will be performing in Campbell River July 6 at 7 p.m. at Nesbitt’s Coffee.

tured performances include Chris Crossroads on banjo, Scotty Hughes on guitars, J.J. Ibsen on piano and Hammond Organ, Lonesome Lefty Houston on fiddle, and Uncle Dan Henshall on mandolin and upright bass;

Uncle Dan is also bringing along his signature low-fi collection of solo recordings, ‘Field Recordings V. II’. Dimes are thin for this pair of pennies traversing the continent; fans and friends can support their journey by support-

ing their “Wreck-less on Vancouver Island” fund towards a 13-day rental of a long-loved ‘rent-awreck’ from Nanaimo as they travel across the Island. Visit www.kapipal.com/wrecklessonvancouverisland to make a donation.

Personalities – no two are the same – so there’s something for everyone on this year’s Campbell River Garden and Art Tour this Saturday and Sunday. G a r d e n e r He l e n W h i t a k e r, w h o s e whimsical garden features everything from flowers to fruit to potatoes to mason bees, says the most important lesson she learns from gardening is that she’s not in charge – Mother Nature is. Part of the joy of gardening, says Whitaker, is meeting other gardeners and talking about gardens,

so she can’t wait to welcome the public to her property this weekend during the annual Garden and Art Tour. Meet Whitaker and other creative gardeners from north Campbell River down to Black Creek this weekend during the annual Garden and Art Tour. Tickets for the selfguided tour are $16 per person, with proceeds supporting the Campbell River Art Gallery’s children’s programs. Tickets are available at the Campbell River Art Gallery, the Visitor Information Centre, the

Willows Market and the Comox Valley Art Gallery. Ticket includes garden descriptions, a map and discounts at the Royal Coachman Pub, Boston Pizza, and Sundance Java Bar. You can also book a bus tour at the Community Centre for $20 per person, which includes your ticket. Seats for the bus tour are limited and available through the Community Centre only. Call 250-286-1161 to book. For more information, call the Campbell River Art Gallery at 250-287-2261.

Hard work by Royal Bank staff pays dividends WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 2013

| CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR |

Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR

R oya l B an k st af f recently saw what hard work can do. Throughout the year, the staff raised money through a Christmas auction, a staff barbecue and through book and bake sales. Recently, that money was split between three local charities. “This is the culmination of a lot of hard work,” Matt Bruining, Royal Bank branch manager, told his staff during an early morning huddle. “This is the proudest thing we can do as a staff. When we get together what we can do for not only our clientele, but for our community, is amazing.” R oya l B an k st af f proudly presented three $250 cheques – one to

the Salvation Army, one to the Second Chance Recovery House and one to the Campbell River and North Island Transition Society. A fourth donation in the amount of $1,000 was given to the Campbell River Hospice Society. The money was a Day of Service grant from the

RBC Foundation to the Campbell River RBC branch for its staff ’s participation in the Angel Rock Hospice fundraiser where they helped serve, clean, and run the casino. For their efforts, the staff were rewarded with the $1,000 grant which it turned over to the Hospice Society.

From community service to new careers and business start-ups after retirement, boomers are leading in a lot of economic and lifestyle categories – including encore relationships, either through a second marriage or a commonlaw relationship. While that is good news for the couples who have found new lives together, it can also lead to financial and other complications. This is particularly true for relationships that fall into ‘grey areas’, that include children from previous marriages, unfinished separations and divorces and other factors that can have a significant impact on the new family’s financial and estate planning realities.

7x14 Principal’s Message This year’s Principal’s Message is the most difficult that I have ever had to write! It is with mixed emotions that I write my last entry for the Newspaper. For in a sense, this is my grad year! On the one hand, I am very excited about the new opportunities I know my retirement at the end of this school year will bring. On the other hand, I feel a sense of tremendous sadness as the reality sinks in that I will no longer be the principal of Timberline. I will miss my daily interactions with all of you. It is not an exaggeration to say that we have laughed, learned and cried together on many occasions. I know that I will also miss the many wonderful traditions that we have developed together over my 16 years as a teacher and administrator at Timberline. I will remember going to the closing night of each of our wonderful musicals and feeling the energy and emotion of a final performance well done. I will remember shedding tears at the karaoke assemblies as the audience erupted with applause for even the most challenged singers. I will also remember watching with pride as our many sports teams competed in the wolf jersey knowing that “win or lose we tried our best”. But most of all, I will remember the many close relationships and friendships that enhanced my time at Timberline and will remain part of my life forever.

Grade 9 Field Trip Timberline’s Grade 9’s, a group of approximately 104, had an amazing time last Tuesday visiting the Parliament Buildings and the BC Museum. The day began with an inspirational speech on the Parliament steps by our North Island MLA Claire Trevena explaining the importance of Canada’s democratic parliamentary system. After an educational tour of the parliament, students spent their afternoon “drinking in” knowledge from the BC Museum where they learned about “The Race To The End of The Earth “ exhibit. Fun was had by all!

TIMBERLINE

Stewardship Day

Timberline hosted its third annual Stewardship day. The morning was spent with student engaged in a keynote presentation followed by an Environmental Film Festival. In the afternoon all students gave back to the community by doing good works throughout Campbell River.

Best of luck to everyone and after you leave Timberline, please continue to Build a Stronger Community, a Healthier Environment and a Better World.

Without its support we would not be able to offer the varied experiences for our students at Timberline. The PAC meets the second Wednesday of the month. Please consider joining the PAC to help make the students’ experience the best it can be.

Campbell River caps off season at Islands The Campbell River Gymnastics Association (CRGA) sent their level one and two athletes to the Island Championships in Port Alberni to cap off a fantastic season. Many new skills have been added throughout the year for their athletes and Leah Anderson continued the trend adding a front tuck in her floor routine. In the Level one Argo division, Nya Chailler, Claire Pollock and Isabella Michael showed well with Nya winning

Miners put safety practices to the test NEWS

It’s a dynamic competition with a vitally important purpose and at this year’s event three teams emerged victorious at the 58th annual Mine Rescue and First Aid Competition in Revelstoke. Spectators from around the province gathered in Revelstoke on June 8 to watch nine mine rescue and eight first aid teams put their skills to the test – including Campbell River’s two mining operations, Nyrstar Myre Falls and Quinsam Coal. The competition is divided into three categories: Surface, Underground and Three Person First Aid, and features life-like simulations that test skills in firefighting, first aid, rope rescue, extrication, and general mine rescue knowledge. This year the province added a new exhibition event to the competition. The Mutual Aid Scramble mixed the teams in a trial designed to test teamwork and co-operation. The ability to adapt to working together is important if mining emergency responders are called to provide a multiple-resource rescue effort. The winning team “Blue” consisted of representatives from Peace River Coal, Quinsam

Shedding pounds after 50

osing some weight is a goal for many people regardless of age. While youngsters and young adults might be able to get away with a few extra pounds without suffering any signiﬁcant consequences, older adults carrying some extra weight might be putting their overall health at considerable risk. Shedding weight after the age of 50 is not always easy. As a person ages, muscle mass tends to dwindle while body fat has a tendency to increase. Since fat burns fewer calories than muscle, weight gain as a person ages is bound to happen. But that doesn’t mean such weight gain is inevitable. In fact, men and women willing to make certain changes with regard to diet and exercise can shed pounds after 50 while preventing future weight gain.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 2013 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR |

Diet Men and women need fewer calories as they age. For example, men and women in their 40s may need as many as 200 calories more per day than they will when they reach their 50s. Counting calories might seem difﬁcult, so men and women in their 50s and older who don’t think they can count calories can try to eat more low-calorie foods like fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Consuming fewer calories often requires changing dietary habits, not only with regard to what you’re eating but also how you’re eating and even how you shop for food. Men and women used to dining out for lunch every day can start bringing their own lunches so they can gain greater control of their daily caloric intake. For those who ﬁnd they’re frequently too exhausted to cook each night, they can prepare meals in advance to have healthy, homemade meals waiting instead of always ordering takeout or delivery. When shopping for food, people should avoid doing so on an empty stomach so they’re less inclined to buy unhealthy snacks. Exercise Exercise is another essential component to shedding pounds after 50, though men and women over 50 should always consult a physician before they begin a new exercise regimen. The Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention points out that regular exercise can help older men and women prevent the onset of a host of ailments, including heart disease and diabetes. In addition, the CDC notes that regular physical activity as one ages helps muscles grow stronger, which increases the chances that an individual will be able to perform necessary daily activities without the assistance of others. Maintaining that independence into older adulthood is a goal for many men and women, and it’s a goal that’s far more realistic for men and women who exercise than it is for those who don’t. When coupled with a healthy, low-calorie diet, routine exercise can help men and women over continued on page 4

Muscle-strengthening activities, including yoga, can help men and women over 50 lose weight and keep the weight off.

These foods may help prevent cancer

ancer is a potentially deadly disease that does not discriminate based on a person’s age, sex, ethnicity, or social status. Though anyone can get cancer, the National Institute on Aging notes that a person’s risk of getting cancer increases with age, even if that person has no family history of cancer. That reality highlights the importance of routine cancer screenings for men and women age 50 and older. While screenings are an important part of detecting and treating cancer, those over 50 should know they can take certain measures to possibly prevent the onset of cancer. For example, including certain foods as part of a regular diet may be effective at preventing cancer. Though there’s no way to guarantee a person won’t get cancer, the following foods may help lower the risk.

50 shed extra weight and keep the weight off once it’s gone. According to the CDC, older adults need at least 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, such as brisk walking, every week and musclestrengthening activities on 2 more days a week. These muscle-strengthening activities should work all the major muscle groups, including the legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms. Muscle-strengthening activities include lifting weights, working out with resistance bands, exercise such as push-ups and sit-ups that use body weight for resistance, and yoga. Even gardening that involves digging and shoveling can be considered a muscle-strengthening activity. Weight gain is often an expected side effect of aging. But men and women don’t have to gain weight as they get older. Some simple dietary changes and a commitment to routine exercise is all it takes to shed weight after 50 and keep that weight off once it’s gone.

• Tomatoes:

Tomatoes are loaded with lycopene, a carotenoid that numerous studies have indicated can reduce incidence of cancer, cardiovascular disease and macular degeneration. These studies have based their findings on tomato consumption and not on the use of lycopene supplements, which may or may not be effective at preventing cancer. Cooked tomatoes can improve

• Coffee:

Blueberries may help prevent the onset of neck and mouth cancers. That’s because blueberries are rich in antioxidants, which the American Institute for Cancer Research notes can protect cells from being damaged.

Whole grains can help men and women control their weight, as they are lower in calories than more traditional options. But studies have shown that whole grains, which can be found in whole-grain and wholewheat pastas, can also reduce your risk of colon cancer.

Fatty fish, including salmon, that is full of omega-3 fatty acids has been linked to a host medical benefits, including lowering a person’s risk of cancer and heart disease.

Though studies about the efficacy of coffee as a potentially preventive agent against cancer are ongoing, some studies have found that both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee can lower a person’s risk of developing colon, endometrial and prostate cancer.

4for3 Fall 2011 September 12 to October 15, 2011

he typical healthcare patient has changed in recent years. No longer are individuals putting all of their healthcare decisions into the hands of nurses and doctors. Patients are more informed than ever before and are interested in taking a more active role in their own care. Thanks to the Internet, people are able to access information that, in the past, was not easily available. A few decades ago, medical data may have been elusive and filled with confusing jargon the layperson might not have understood without a crash course in biology. However, today there are different Web sites that clearly spell out information about certain illnesses and diseases. This means that patients may no longer be walking blindly into appointments with doctors. Facing an illness is never easy, and the decision-making abilities could be hampered by emotions and the desire to improve as quickly as possible. Patients who do not have all of the facts may have to rely solely on the expertise of caregivers and physicians when making important healthcare decisions. By knowing the avenues of information, a patient can find assistance with careful decisionmaking. While learning about an ailment is important, there are some things to consider. • The Internet isn’t foolproof. Many online medical sites are very reliable and offer a wealth of pertinent information. They can be good starting points when seeking out information on a particular condition. It is in your best interest to visit sites that are well-known and monitored by respected medical affiliations. Other sites may be peppered with exaggerated claims or misinformation. Therefore, do not go by online information alone. • Don’t self-diagnose. It can be easy to use the Internet as a means to narrowing down symptoms and making assumptions about what ailments you may have. Instead of using

the Internet to self-diagnose your condition, leave the diagnosis up to your doctor and rely on online information after you are diagnosed. This can improve your understanding of the condition and any potential treatment options. • Seek other avenues of information. You should never hesitate to seek a second opinion or go to a published medical journal to find out more about a condition. You have rights as a patient to be comfortable with the advice doctors give and be as involved in your treatment as you want to be. • Online forums could be more harm than help. Many people turn to online forums and blogs to gain more insight into particular diseases. While these forums may be good sources of support, information published on these sites could be misleading, inaccurate or unsafe. Before trying any proposed treatment, it is best to consult with your doctor. Having a general knowledge of a medical condition can enable healthcare consumers to make more informed decisions about their situations.

Simple ways to avoid overspending as retirement nears

Empty nesters can track their monthly expenses to ensure they aren’t overspending as they inch closer to retirement.

LIVING 50 PLUS

hen the nest is empty and the kids no longer need financial support, many men and women find themselves with some extra money in their budget. Fewer mouths to feed and no more college tuition bills can give parents a sense of financial freedom they may not have had since before starting their family. But that freedom can also lead to overspending, something that can put retirement in jeopardy if people are not careful. Though it’s understandable for men and women to splurge on a well-deserved getaway once the kids have finally left the house, it’s important for adults to ensure that such splurging does not become routine. The following are a few ways men and women with some newfound disposable income can avoid overspending and putting themselves in financial hot water as they get closer to retirement. • Pay with cash whenever possible. Swiping a debit card or credit card is certainly a convenient way to shop, but it can also be dangerous. Many people find it difficult to keep track of their spending when they use debit cards or credit cards to make their purchases. Using cash to make purchases, especially daily purchases like a morning cup of coffee, reduces the likelihood of overspending. This can help you get a better idea of how much money you’re spending and if there are any steps you can take to curtail that spending. An effective way to use cash is to withdraw money from the bank once per week and use that as your weekly supply of money. If you find yourself frequently running out of money each week, then you’re likely spending more than you should. • Keep a financial journal. Men and women who must adapt to having newfound disposable income may find it is not much different from younger men and women learning to manage their money when they first start working. Some of those lessons,

like saving more than you spend, might need to be relearned.

One way to get a grip on your spending is to keep a financial journal to track your daily and monthly expenses as well as larger purchases like a new television. Write down the monthly expenses you know you have each month, such as a mortgage payment or a car note, and each and every purchase you make, including how much you spend on dining out each month. Do this for at least a couple of months. When you have logged several months’ activity, examine your journal to see if there are any expenses that can be trimmed to save money. • Don’t go overboard rewarding yourself. Once your last child has left the nest, the temptation to reward yourself with a luxury item or two might prove overwhelming. After all, raising a family and paying for college tuition has no doubt required substantial sacrifice on your part, so it’s well within reason that you want to reward yourself after all these years. Avoid overdoing it so your finances aren’t stretched too thinly. A vacation with your spouse is reasonable, but buying a villa overseas might be a little over the top. Luxuries can be nice, but they can also drain a budget. Your monthly expenses once the kids have moved out should be lower, so if you find your cost of living has increased now that your nest is empty, you might be forced to determine which of your expenses are luxuries and which are necessities. • Take advantage of your “experience.” Though accepting a “senior” discount might be a blow to your pride, it also can be a boon to your bottom line. Many establishments, including gyms, restaurants and movie theaters, offer discounts to men and women age 55 and older. This can help you save a substantial amount of money over time, and no one has to know you’ve started cashing in on your experience.

Things to consider as retirement approaches

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 2013 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR |

hough many people are delaying retirement, the day will still come when they leave their jobs behind and retire. Retirement can be a difficult adjustment that takes some getting used to, but it can also prove an exciting time, especially for those who planned ahead to ensure their retirement was a time to be cherished and not feared. Whether retirement is right around the corner or still a decade or so away, men and women should consider several factors to make sure their retirement years are an enjoyable time that allows them to live life to the fullest. • Income: Just because you’re no longer working doesn’t mean you won’t have income. Government benefits, retirement accounts and perhaps even some light consulting work are just a few ways retirees can earn an income. Though your retirement income will likely pale in comparison to your income as an adult working full-time, estimate what that income will be so you can get at least an idea of how much will be coming in each month. • Monthly expenses: Once you have an idea of what’s coming in, estimate how much will be going out each month. Certain costs associated with working, such as the cost of commuting and maintaining a professional wardrobe, can be removed from the ledger. But other expenses, including utilities, car payments and possibly even a mortgage payment, will still need to be made. Once you have an idea of your projected income and your expenses during retirement, you can get to work on a prospective budget to show you what you will need to live on during retirement.

• Employment: Many people now look at retirement as the end of one career and the beginning of another. As retirement draws closer, men and women might want to consider turning an interest or passion into a second career. Such a move might make retirement more exciting while removing some of the fear of finding enough things to pass the time that many people have with regard to retirement. • Relocation: Where to spend your retirement years is another thing to consider before the big day arrives. Do you, like many retirees, prefer to stay in your own home? Do you want to relocate to a warmer climate or move to another country? Do you want to move closer to your children and grandchildren? Do you want to split your time in separate cities? Is a retirement village something you might be amenable to? Each of these options is different, and each requires a different financial commitment, so carefully consider where you want to spend your retirement and then consider how you can make those wishes a reality. • Medical costs: Private insurance or government-sponsored programs likely won’t cover all of your medical costs, which typically increase as a person ages. There are various ways to prepare for the medical costs that might arise during retirement, and the earlier you start that preparation the less stressful paying for medical care as you age figures to be. Retirement should be an exciting time for men and women, especially for those who have spent years planning their retirement to ensure it’s as enjoyable as possible.

Men and women approaching retirement should consider a host of factors to ensure their years out of the office are as exciting and enjoyable as possible.

Dr. Chris Dennis welcomes new colleague, Dr. Michelle Samosinski Dr. Michelle Samosinski was born in Montreal, QC and although she grew up in an English speaking community and household, she is fluent in both French and English. She relocated to Calgary with her family at the age of 13, where she later attended the University of Calgary and earned her Bachelor of Science degree, majoring in biological sciences and graduating with distinction in June 2006. After obtaining her degree, Dr. Samosinski took a break from her studies to gain some work experience and travel the world. She spent 3 years working in corporate customer service and travelling as much as she could before deciding it was time to pursue her goal of becoming a dentist. She completed the Doctor of Dental Surgery program at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, where she received the award for outstanding academic achievement and performance in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Dr. Samosinski’s love of dentistry includes the ability to give back to the community and to those less fortunate. Throughout her dental program

in Edmonton, she volunteered by offering free dental services to Edmonton’s underserved youth at a downtown health clinic on Saturday mornings. She also recently participated in her first overseas volunteer mission, offering dental care to members of a rural community in Peru and is looking forward to participating in more missions in the future.

DR. DENNIS

Dr. Samosinski likes to spend her spare time travelling and enjoying the outdoors with her fiancée, Rob. They both share a passion for the mountains and love skiing, hiking and scuba diving together. Living in Alberta, they spent many hours making their way to British Columbia to enjoy the lakes and mountains, so when the possibility arose to come to beautiful Campbell River, it was only natural for them to jump at the opportunity. Dr. Samosinski is really excited about the change in lifestyle and is looking forward to experiencing life in Campbell River, with all its amazing outdoor offerings.

“It’s not fair!” A friend of mine has severe arthritis in his left ankle, which makes him walk with a noticeable limp. Last weekend we hiked the Ripple Rock trail, and I had to constantly nag him to keep up. I found it really inconsiderate – and rude – of him to keep us from enjoying the trail at a reasonable pace. What a useless, lazy oaf. Before you dismiss me as a heartless creep, let me assure you that this didn’t really happen. Like you, I realize how insensitive it sounds. I made up this scenario to make a point: that this is exactly how people with reduced hearing sensitivity are treated every day. The burden of invisibility Reduced hearing sensitivity is a very real condition that affects about one in 10 Canadians. But it’s an invisible condition. Without a limp, cane or other visual reminder to draw attention, it’s easy for others to forget – or never even realize – the condition exists. In many cases, the person with reduced hearing sensitivity doesn’t even realize their hearing is affected. They don’t understand why everyone seems to be mumbling, why they’re mentally exhausted and grumpy at the end of the day or why they increasingly retreat from social interaction. Its complexity and slow, progressive nature can also create confusion. A loss in the high frequencies, for example, often means someone can hear well in a small, carpeted computer room but not in a kitchen with tile flooring and a running dishwasher. Needless to say, this sort of “selective hearing” can create serious tension between partners and quickly lead to the kind of

scorn and contempt described above. We expect people with reduced hearing sensitivity to engage in conversation in noisy restaurants. We get annoyed (or ignore them entirely) when they ask us to repeat ourselves. We lose patience and accuse them of not listening when they miss important details. It’s not fair, and it makes me sad to see it beat down so many good people and spoil so many otherwise loving relationships. By the same token, just as other people might be inconsiderate of someone with reduced hearing sensitivity, it’s just as inconsiderate of that person to do nothing and simply expect everyone around them to be patient. A cure for annoying husbands?

Martin and Jana Jurek

In my practice, I’ve seen again and again how reduced hearing sensitivity can create serious tension between partners. One couple I saw recently was having a particularly difficult time. The wife was upset with her husband because she thought he was ignoring her and because he continually disappeared whenever company came over. While she suspected his hearing sensitivity had changed somewhat, she thought he was taking advantage of the situation and was simply being rude. As you can imagine, their relationship suffered accordingly. After completing her husband’s hearing test, I plugged the results into a hearing simulator and had the wife listen to a recorded story. When she heard for herself how her husband heard all the time – and realized how difficult it must

be for him – she began to cry. She apologized profusely and promised to be more understanding. These are the moments I live for; the moment someone suddenly understands just how profound an effect reduced hearing can have on one’s life and realizes how unfair society is to people whose hearing is less than perfect. As a society, we demand wheelchair ramps for public buildings and audio signals for the visually impaired. But nobody cares that the acoustics of the local church, or the constant hum of a furnace at the local community centre, are torturous to 10% of the population. Get to know your hearing I truly love what I do. It’s not the tinkering with

electronics that I love (although I do enjoy that), or the bookkeeping and other paperwork (I sincerely dislike that). It’s watching how dramatically lives and relationships can be improved with better hearing – and even with the mere understanding of what the world sounds like through the ears of someone with reduced hearing sensitivity. Most people with reduced hearing sensitivity don’t even know it. So if you recognize any of the scenarios above, or you have any reason to suspect your hearing isn’t as sharp as it once was, you owe it to yourself and the people around you to get it checked out. We’d be happy to provide you with a complimentary hearing assessment, and we’ll even let you experience the hearing simulator I

mentioned earlier. Every decision about your health and your hearing, of course, is yours and yours alone. We’re not going to pressure you or try to “sell” you anything – I don’t like it when people do that to me and I’m certainly not going to do it to you. If I can help you better understand the complexities of hearing sensitivity, though, I’ve done my job. If I can provide you with a solution that will improve your relationships and quality of life, then I’ve really done my job. You can call me, if and when you’re ready, at 250-914-3200.
