City to engage community in homeless project The city wants to hold a community meeting to allay any uneasiness over a proposed Sobering Assessment Centre for the city’s homeless. Elle Brovold, the city’s facilities and supply management property manager, said concerns were raised shortly after it was made public that the city had swapped its property on Dogwood Street next to the fire hall with Discovery Chiropractic’s land at 1180 Fir Street. As part of that agreement, the city is expected to enter into a Licence of Occupation agreement with Campbell River Family Services in order to establish a Sobering Assessment Centre on the Fir Street property. “Following the release of this information, the city was contacted by several businesses located near the proposed site of the Sobering Assessment Centre with concerns regarding the establishment of such a facility,” Brovold wrote in a report to council. “The purpose of the public engagement would be to educate the community on how this type of facility would function and to hear potential concerns/ impacts with respect to the establishment of this facility at 1180 First Street.” Paul Mason, a program co-ordinator with Family Services, told council last June that the Sobering Assessment Centre, which is not the same as a shelter, would serve to assess clients and get them in to an interim bed until they’re fit to go into the Evergreen Shelter, which requires clients to be clean and sober. Mason at that time said the goal would be to have the Sober-

ing Assessment Centre open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and it would “provide a valuable link between the homeless and community service providers.” Brovold wrote in her report that while the city doesn’t foresee any problems with such a facility, there are conditions the city can impose to make the facility more attractive. “While staff feel that the Sobering Assessment Centre is not likely to attract abnormal users to the area beyond anything that exists currently, there may be some conditions that could be incorporated into the Licence of Occupation agreement that would allow the city additional site control, i.e. requirement for the installation of additional lighting, establish restricted operation hours, etc.,” Brovold wrote. She added that once

the city identifies the concerns associated with the centre, through community engagement, the city may also be able to reduce the neighbourhood impact by incorporating Crime Prevention through Environmental Design elements on the property.

use it respectfully as they showed with the extreme weather shelter. They take care of it when there’s a sense of ownership.” Council, at its Tuesday meeting which was held after the Mirror went to press, was expected to consider a list of public engagement options

Mason, during his presentation to council last year, said the centre would be contained and landscaped to make it look aesthetically pleasing. “What we have will be enclosed,” he said. “I think a facility like this, available to the homeless, they will

near the Shell Station at Quinsam Crossing. But during council’s financial planning sessions in February, Coun. Larry Samson said not everyone is able to use the drop-off centre. “Not everybody has a truck to go up to the end of Willis Road and up to Quinsam Crossing and dump their stuff there,” Samson said. “Not all seniors have the ability to throw it in the back of their car. “These clippings, they end up on our logging roads, they end up in our parks, they end up in dumpsters, so I would like to see this service brought back.” Council was expected to receive Zirnhelt’s report and discuss yard waste expansion options at its Tuesday meeting after the Mirror went to press.

City council is considering expanding the city’s curbside yard waste pick up program to provide year-round service. The city has received $124,000 from MultiMaterial BC (MMBC), which is responsible for the city’s recycling program, and those funds would offset the cost of extending yard waste pick up to up to nine months of the year. Amber Zirnhelt, the city’s manager of long range planning and sustainability, said that having weekly curbside yard waste pick up from April 6 to November 27 in 2015 and 2016 would cost the city $83,421 and providing the service weekly from April 6 to December 31 would cost $120,698.

“ There would be a d e q u at e f u n d i n g available through the MMBC funding to cover the cost of this service expansion in 2015/2016,” Zirnhelt wrote in a report to council. “However, if council elects to offer year round yard waste collection in 2016, additional funding will be required.” To expand the service from January 1 to December 31 for next year would cost $23.29 per household per year. The city currently offers curbside yard waste pick up for two months in the spring (April 6 to May 29) and two months in the fall (October 5 to November 27). Residents can also take their branches and prunings to the Yard Waste Drop-Off Centre

Storm are winners on many levels Congratulations to the Campbell River Storm for capturing the Cyclone Taylor Cup and emphatically declaring themselves Junior B champions of British Columbia. Kevin and Linda Spooner have built a formidable organization guided by the sure and steady hands of Coach and General Manager Lee Stone and his coaching staff. But, of course, it comes down to the young men who slap on the pads, lace up the skates and pull on that jersey who put it all on the line. The Campbell River Storm players have earned themselves accolades for the way they’ve played all year, resulting in not only the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League title but now the provincial title and the storied Cyclone Taylor Cup for the second We say: The team time in club history. Now a hockey team enjoys a strong is just a diversion but connection to the Campbell River likes its community hockey and so the Storm occupy a prestigious place in the life of the community. The attendance at Rod Brind’Amour Arena has been near capacity or sold out for most of the season. The chat on social media is always strong and the support from the business community reflects the value of the team. It is a credit to the team that a lot of that connection is fostered by the club through its willingness to help with various causes and have its players support numerous charities and events. This is a small town-team with a big league attitude and it is appreciated in the community. In the end, it is a program that is responsible for the development of young men and the Storm has put in place the structure to encourage youths to excel and develop a sense of responsibility. Teams serve as symbols of a community and the Storm do a good job of pointing out to young people that citizenship, responsibility and charity are virtues to be admired and pursued.

A change of heart on mailboxes There has been a lot of talk recently about Canada Post’s move to convert all homes to community mailboxes. Two weeks ago, council heard two presentations – one by Gille Chagnon, Canada Post’s manager of municipal engagement, and one by postal workers Monica Judd and Brigid Pomeroy. ºA full house turned out at that meeting to listen in. I will admit, at first my thoughts strayed towards ‘why are people so upset about this, many people in Campbell River are already using community mailboxes.’ I myself used a community mailbox for nearly all of the years I’ve lived in Campbell River. When we moved a year and a half ago to the house we’re in now, it was the first time in nearly 16 years that I got to enjoy home delivery. But before the anti-community mailbox faction comes for my head, I will also admit that as I listened to Judd and Pomeroy’s presentation to council, I quickly realized there’s a lot at stake. There are serious, legitimate concerns surrounding Canada Post’s action plan, such as how

Then there’s the city. One councillor I spoke to following that council meeting is concerned about the possibility of having to lay new sidewalks so people can access the mailboxes and about the safety of people having to pull over on a busy street, such as Alder or Dogwood, to collect their mail from the communal box. The city may also feel obligated to put in street lights if some boxes are located in an area that’s particularly dark or unsafe. Canada Post has provided the city with a list of proposed locations and city staff is currently reviewing those sites. Let’s hope they get it right because so far there has been minimal consultation with the public from Canada Post, other than a survey that told us we would be getting community mailboxes whether we like it or not, but what kind would we like? It’s an unfortunate situation and I’m sure the community will adapt, but I truly feel for the hardworking letter carriers that stand to be out of a job and as Judd put it in her presentation to council, were blindsided.

on the clock and Brouwer at the bench for the extra attacker, Jared Marchi sent a backdoor feed onto the tape of Richter, who converted on the play to make it a 6-4 game. With time ticking down, Jordan Busch sent a seeing-eye point shot towards Michel and found the back of the net to make it a 6-5 game with 45 seconds to play. “That explains us in a nutshell,” said Dynamiters head coach Jerry Bancks. “Nobody quit. Nobody gave up. I always call us a resilient group. When you stop to think about the amount of hockey we’ve had to play in the last 46 days, it’s pretty incredible to do what we did. “I am so proud of this group. And I’m so proud of the KIJHL…To get within one goal here and everything else is pretty amazing. You don’t do it without character.” But that was as much as the Dynamiters were able to muster, as the Storm held out through a tense final 45 seconds to claim the 2015 Cyclone Taylor Cup. “We knew they weren’t going to go away,” Stone said. “I don’t know if I expected them to make it close like that, but we’ve been dramatic all year. We wanted to give our fans a show I guess. “The word resiliency — we’ve battled back from lots of things. We’re missing Tyler Welsh — who’s one of our best players and not in the tournament. Costain’s out today. “Zack” Sanderson’s out. We had nine regular forwards in our lineup

tonight. But guys just kept stepping up everywhere. “That’s what sums up our team. It was never the same guy. It was always a different player. That’s the real true calling for a great team.” Michel made 20 saves for his third win of the tournament, while Brouwer turned aside 16 Campbell River shots. For the Kimberley Dynamiters, their season comes to a close after bringing home Kimberley’s first KIJHL championship since the Kimberley Knights won it all in 1980. The Storm ran the table at the 2015 Cyclone Taylor Cup, doubling the North Vancouver Wolf Pack 6-3 (Friday) before edging the Dynamiters 5-4 in double overtime (Saturday). The Storm wrapped up round-robin play with a nail-biting 3-2 win over the host Mission City Outlaws (Sunday) before claiming the title against Kimberley. Next, the Storm carry on to the Keystone Cup

for 18 years while carbon dioxide levels have risen 10 per cent has no impact on their narrative. But this inconvenient fact does appear to be having an impact on

public opinion across Canada. Let’s hope B.C.’s disinterest in Earth Hour is a sign of things to come in the rest of the country and we can get back to working on environmental issues we can actually control. Tom Harris

— Western Canada’s Junior B championship — April 16 to 19 in Cold Lake, Alta. Campbell River reached the final and finished second in the Keystone in 2006, when it hosted the tourney. “It’s motivation — the Vancouver Island League has never won the Keystone Cup,” Stone said. “This is a chance for us to make history and that’s the plan. The minute we came together at training camp this year it wasn’t just a V.I. title, it wasn’t just a Cyclone Taylor title. We wanted to win everything. Now, it’s get back to work. Take a couple days to enjoy this but right back to work and get ready for Cold Lake.” Notes: Both the Dynamiters and Storm went without key pieces Monday, as Kimberley F Coy Prevost and Campbell River F Reece Costain were suspended…The host Mission City Outlaws defeated the North Vancouver Wolf Pack 7-0 earlier Monday to claim the bronze medal.

hard to get to this point,” Feeney said. “We worked for every little bit. It just feels so rewarding.” Dynamiters captain Jason Richter was named the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player, while goaltender Tyson Brouwer was named the Tournament’s Most Inspirational Player. The Storm opened the scoring 5:45 into the first period as defenceman Nathan Browne sent a power-play point shot past Brouwer for a 1-0 lead. Midway through the period, the Dynamiters drew even. Alex Rosolowsky carried in over the Storm blueline before dishing to Jordan Roy down the left side. The 16-year-old Roy fired a harmless looking shot towards Storm goaltender Jesse Michel, and somehow, the puck found a way through to the back of the net. The see-saw contest continued in the second period with Storm affiliate player Dawson Frank restoring the Campbell River lead midway through. All it took was 2:11 before the KIJHL champions struck back. With the Storm on the power play, California native Keenan Haase forced a turnover at the Dynamiters blueline. Jason Richter corralled the loose puck, bursting down the left wing into enemy territory before firing on net. A rebound came to Haase who managed to tuck it past Michel to tie the game 2-2.

Before the second period came to a close, Feeney restored the Storm lead taking a pass in tight to Brouwer’s crease before sending a quick shot to the top shelf. Less than five minutes into the third period, the Storm extended the lead to two goals as Trent Johnson wheeled down the left wing before picking a tiny hole high short side on Brouwer. With Will McNamara serving a two-minute minor for tripping, the Dynamiters took advantage as Roy returned an earlier favour, dishing to Rosolowsky on the backdoor to pull the Dynamiters within one. A mere 29 seconds was all it took for the Storm to restore the two-goal edge as Michael Olson sent a backhand shot to the top corner for a 5-3 Campbell River lead. With less than 10 minutes to go, Dynamiters defenseman Justin Meier shook the Mission Leisure Centre, and Storm forward Gavin Rauser, with a jarring hit at centre ice. Rauser stayed down as Meier was handed a fiveminute major and game misconduct for checking to the head. On the ensuing power play, Bottomley tallied the game-winning marker with a long point shot. The Storm looked comfortable with a 6-3 lead, but this game was far from over. “We knew we had to keep going,” Richter said. “Just keep going, boys. That’s pretty much all that was said.” With 2:20 remaining

City declines solo bid to host Seniors Games KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Campbell River won’t host the 55+ BC Games (formally the BC Seniors Games) any time soon as a potential partner has bowed out. The city was invited in February to submit a bid proposal to play host in either 2017, 2018 or 2019. Lynn Wark, the city’s recreation and culture manager, reported back to council at last night’s council meeting that

Campbell River does not have the required facilities to play host on its own and would need a partner. The problem is, the Comox Valley – which Campbell River teamed up with in 2010 to host the seniors’ games – isn’t interested. “Staff contacted the Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) general manager of community services to discuss the potential for submitting a bid to host the 2017, 2018 or 2019

games,” Wark said in her report to council. “He informed staff that at a meeting last year, made up of recreation practitioners from the CVRD, Campbell River, Courtenay and Cumberland, the consensus was that after hosting the games in 2010, bidding on anything within the next few years would be very challenging.” Wark said that with the Comox Valley already playing host to several upcoming events, it just wasn’t practical.

“

THEY SAID IT: “... the concensus was that after hosting the games in 2010, bidding on anything within the next few years would be very challenging.”

– Lynn Wark

“It was felt it may be difficult to recruit for volunteers and also there are events that are happening in the Comox Valley this year and next

year that would make it difficult to find the time and resources to put in a successful bid,” Wark said. “Consequently, recre-

ation and culture department staff is recommending that we delay applying to host another 55+ Games until a later date.” The Games is a multisport event which has the potential to generate more than $2.1 million in economic spinoff for host communities. The last time Campbell River co-hosted the games, approximately 3,300 athletes – plus coaches and officials – participated in 28 competitive games and sports

including badminton, cycling, darts, bowling, slo-pitch, tennis, disc golf, bocce ball, bridge, pickleball, one-act plays, and track and field. Campbell River hosted 12 events while the Comox Valley hosted the remainder. Communities that are chosen to host the Seniors Games are provided with $85,000 from the B.C. Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development to help with the cost of hosting.

Business involved in land swap deal with city ready to begin construction KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Discovery Chiropractic has officially taken possession of a highprofile piece of land involved in a land swap with the City of Campbell River. The site in question is a gravel parking lot next to the fire hall at 1241 Dogwood Street and which housed the Extreme Weather Shelter over the last two winters. The owners of Discovery Chiropractic, which gave their existing site at 1180 Fir Street to the city, plan to construct a new building approximately 3,600 square feet in size on the Dogwood property. Kathleen Wilker, city planner, said the building is expected to cover 22 per cent of the downtown lot, and the remaining 78 per cent would be filled with 26 parking stalls, garbage and recycling, pedestrian circulation and landscaping. “The proposed site layout makes good use of the property shape, existing site conditions and fits in with the surrounding area,” Wilker wrote in a report to council. “Locating the building in the northwest corner of the site allows for efficient parking layout as well as good vehicle and pedestrian traffic flow through the site. The proposed driveway locations onto both Dogwood and Cypress Street facilitate safe access and egress into and out of the site.” The owners of Discovery Chiropractic made the land exchange deal with the city last summer – a move that was approved by city council at an in-camera meeting on August 12 of last year. Under the agreement, Discovery Chiropractic will also give the city an $86,000 cash payment in addition to its Fir Street property. The owners of Dis-

covery Chiropractic took possession of the Dogwood Street property on April 1 and are eager to build a new, bigger and better building. “The rationale for the proposed development includes Discover y Chiropractic’s need for a larger, more modern facility to grow our business, and be better able to serve Campbell River and area,” wrote the owners Dr. Richard Cronk, Dr. Joshua West, and Dr. Sandra Jensen in a letter to the city. “Currently the proposed lot, which is located on a busy street, is used as a dirt parking lot and a location for a temporary homeless shelter. A new, modern, aesthetically pleasing building, with a balance of parking and landscaping would greatly enhance the downtown core.” The building is proposed to follow a contemporary west coast theme design with shed roofs, large fir posts and

beams, and contrasting warm colour combinations, with colour changes on the trims and details. “By including and incorporating these elements into the design, they create an attractive building with eyecatching focal points, visual rhythm and flow,” Wilker wrote. “The front face of the building presents a welcoming, inviting feel leading you around the side to the main entrance.” City staff were recommending council approve a major development permit for Discovery Chiropractic – to facilitate construction – at council’s Tuesday meeting which took place after the Mirror went to press. Wilker said the proposed development concept meets the design guidelines of the city’s Official Community Plan while fulfilling the necessary requirements to run and operate a chiropractic clinic.

A graphical rendering shows the proposed design plans for the new Discovery Chiropractic clinic which will be built on the gravel parking lot next to the downtown fire hall where the temporary Extreme Weather Shelter was set up this past winter.

EXPERTS’ Advice Can cold sores caused by the herplex simplex virus be passed on to another person once you are infected?

A March 2015 article posted on the website of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association, reviewing the current research on osteoporosis and exercise, makes two key recommendations:

Jason Kowalchuk, Physiotherapist

What that means is that if you have osteoporosis, aerobic exercise alone is not enough. Strength training and balance training are essential to maintaining bone and muscle strength, and preventing falls from occurring in the first place. If you have osteoporosis, or if you need help getting active, contact Physiotherapist Jason Kowalchuk at CBI - Rehabilitation In Motion to arrange a consultation.

How can I afford an RESP for my kids?

Do you know someone elderly that needs home care?

If you are living on a low income it is important to open the RESP with a company that can offer Darlene & Peter Garat you the Canada Learning Bond. Not all fund companies or financial institutions offer this, or bother to to request it. Plus, setting up the education savings account as a family RESP, rather than individual accounts, allows you to make your contribution go farther. When one child is too old to receive grant and bond anymore, the contributions can simply be changed to the younger children. This doesn’t mean that the older child can’t benefit, just that the grant and bond continue to be paid into the RESP. You can start with as little as $25/month budgeted out of your government child tax benefit. Start now to benefit from long term growth potential.

tours, concerts, and educational & industry development seminars all targeted to west coast seafood enthusiasts and the larger aquaculture industry. Comox Valley Economic Development and Tourism partnered with the BCSGA three years ago to help grow the event to become a destination level attraction to drive overnight

accommodations, as well as to continue the original mandate of the festival which was to drive increased awareness and support for the shellfish and seafood industry producers and related businesses. New highlights for 2015 include Fresh Fest in the Marina, a live concert and salmon chef stations presented by the BC Salmon Farmers

Association and North Island Chefs Association. Celebrity chef, Ned Bell, from the Vancouver Four Seasons Hotel and Chefs for Oceans will be at events throughout the Festival including a new BC Seafood Expo and Workshop Series with industry and consumer oriented sessions presented by seafood and sector leaders and educators, including keynote

speaker Dr. John Nightingale, CEO Vancouver Aquarium. Genome BC will host its Geneskool educational workshop at North Island College, not to mention a Flying Lobster Extravaganza and Expo Opening Reception by Flying Fresh Freight at the Old House Hotel and Spa, new family beach tours with Macs Oysters, and much more.

phers’ Café on Wednesday, April 8 from 6:307:30 p.m. at On-Line Gourmet (Shoppers Row) as Bill Fradgley, director for the Comox Valley Humanists, helps us explore the future of religion. Once a month a speaker will introduce a theme to the Café, and then all who attend can join in respectful, non-partisan conversation, or just sit back and

listen. You are welcome to propose topics and introduce them at future Cafés. Themes should be of broad interest and national significance, and have an element of controversy to them. As with each Café, Fradgley will have just 10 minutes to introduce the topic, and then the floor is open for 50 minutes of moderated discussion.

Philosopher’s Cafe gets down to the brass tracks

Can you envision a time in the future when there will be no religions? If there will always be religions, will they need to change to continue to be relevant? If change is the future, what changes would you like to see? Much blood has been spilled through history in the name of religion. Will there ever be peace on Earth as long as we

Just for Laughs veteran is full of Baloney and Wine D erek Edwards - Baloney and Wine is an uproarious romp through the increasingly strange quirks of our daily routines. It’s relentless and brazen, a tightly woven running commentary about human nature ... “the thinking man’s coffee break.” In an ever more chaotic world, Edwards remains an inimitable constant, the hilarious voice of reason. As he says, “28 years in, it’s AAALLLL starting to click!” From Vegas to St.

John’s, this Just For Laughs veteran is universally considered to be among the comic elite. Certainly his peers think so, as evidenced by the fact that he’s a four-time nominee, and winner of Best Standup Comic – Canadian Comedy Awards, as well as a multiple Gemini nominee for Best Performance in a Comedy. As Rick Mercer says, “Everyone knows Derek is the funniest man in Canada.” Clearly the critics agree: “5 STARS - the funniest man on earth” - Winnipeg Free Press;

“4 STARS - the crowd howled” - Victoria Times Colonist; “still the funniest man in Canada” - Toronto Sun; “Edwards reigns as the King of Canadian comedy” - Charlottetown Guardian; “Derek Edwards is hysterical” - Calgary Sun; “Edwards takes stand-up to next stage” - Georgia Straight; “the epitome of timing & storytelling” - Halifax Chronicle Herald; “the comedian’s comedian” - London Free Press. Edwards’ new 90-minute stand-up comedy show ... a richly textured

and enthralling ‘cut above,’ delivered with pace and authority. It sizzles - it pops; it’s Baloney and Wine. Edwards will be performing April 22 in Campbell River at the Tidemark Theatre. For tickets call the box office: 250-287-7465 or 800-994-0555. Reserved seating tickets for Derek Edwards - Baloney and Wine are $40 tax included, (facility fees and service charges extra), and are available from the box offices listed below. Showtime is 7:30 p.m. For more info, visit shantero.com

Campbell River Singers are ‘In the Swing’ this spring The Campbell River Singers will share the stylings of artists ranging from Mozart to Elvis when they present their annual spring concert, In the Swing, Sunday, April 26 at St. Peter’s Anglican Church. Conductor John Montgomery and Assistant Conductor Shelley Roberts have chosen a wide variety of musical selections to appeal to many tastes and moods, and several special guests will spice the afternoon. “In the Swing” is taken from the Megamix Medley of the same name. This selection will take you back to the fifties

and sixties with “(American) Bandstand Boogie”, Elvis’ “Jailhouse Rock”, “At the Hop”, and “It Don’t mean a Thing (If it Ain’t Got That Swing)”. You’ll want to ‘put another nickel in the nickelodeon’ for “Music! Music! Music!”, and hum along to selections from Gershwin, and Rodgers & Hammerstein. A variety of folk songs from Canada, U.S., Australia and Ireland, as well as rousing spirituals, will raise your spirit and set your toes to tapping. Local musicians Jack Clark on percussion, and Dan Montgomery on Bass, will accompany

and add pizzaz to the jazz and swing numbers performed. Mozart’s “ Turkish March for Voices” is a very recognizable and fun arrangement with the musical instruments being replaced by choir voices. This piece will be interpreted in two ways, first by the choir, and again by local awardwinning pianist, Matthew Krell, student of Shelley Roberts, playing “Concert Paraphrase on the Turkish March” by Volodos. Campbell River Singers are pleased to have as special guests, Anne Young’s Antics Theatre.

Antics Dinner Theatre is celebrating its 14th year of entertaining local audiences. Young and her troupe will be provide a hilarious glimpse of what happens when you fail to double check a church bulletin. This concert will be dedicated to the memory of Walter Niederberger, a long time member of the bass section. It begins at 2 p.m. at St. Peter’s, on the corner of Dogwood and Pinecrest. Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for students and seniors, and are available from choir members or at the door.

Calver documentary to be screened on Quadra Fresh off its debut screening in Campbell River, a documentary on the life and work of Quadra Island artist Richard Calver is coming to his home community Wednesday, April 22, at Quadra Library. Richard Calver: A Life in Print, was cre-

ated by Ken Blackburn of the Campbell River Art Council and Marjorie Greaves of Shaw TV. The 40-minute film gives viewers a glimpse into Calver’s creative process and inspiration. The film premiered with a screening in February at Campbell River Art Gallery.

Calver was born in England in 1946 and moved to Canada at age 19, settling on Quadra Island. The turning point in his artistic life came in his 30s when he met renowned artist Sybil Andrews in Campbell River. Andrews is famous

worldwide for her linocuts – a printmaking technique in which a sheet of linoleum is used for the relief surface. Inspired and encouraged by Andrews, Calver soon became more serious about his art and purchased his own linocut tools.

golfers. Kids who have watched Mom and Dad play golf or practice their swing can develop their own swings on their play set. As kids approach school age, don’t overlook the nearby puttputt or miniature golf range as a valuable teaching tool. Miniature golf clubs are small enough for many children to use comfortably, and kids can use miniature golf courses as a place to put any lessons or advice on putting to good use. What’s more, a miniature golf course is more than just golf, with creative courses and other fun activities, so kids won’t feel overwhelmed with golf. When kids move on from preschool to elementary school, some might want to tag along with Mom or Dad to the driving range. You should try to avoid overwhelming kids with too much instruction or information. Instead, keep things as simple as possible, teaching them the basic swing and encouraging them no matter how quickly they adapt. As kids enter middle school and approach high school, those who are enjoying the game of golf can take advantage of the driving range if they haven’t already begun to. A driving range typically has markers that indicate the distance of a regular hole, regardless of which tee you will play from on an actual golf course. Kids can aim for holes at shorter distances to learn how far their drives are going. You can then adjust the lessons you teach your children based on how far youngsters can drive the ball.

Nordics shine at cross-country Nationals Campbell River, Black Creek, and the Comox Valley were well represented at the recent 2015 cross-country Ski Nationals held in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Eight athletes, all members of the Strathcona Nordics race team, made the trip and enjoyed a week of intense, high-caliber racing against the best skiers from across the country, including several National Team and World Cup racers. Andrea Lee from Black Creek, currently training with Michigan Tech University, had an excellent week. Lee’s top performances include a ninthplace finish in the Open Women’s mass start skate and a sixth place in the Open Women’s team sprint with Avalon Wasteneys of Campbell River, who raced up in the Open Women’s category. Wasteneys also rounded out her week with an excellent performance in the Junior Girl’s classic sprint, placing top 12 in a strong field of Junior girls. On the men’s side, Alec Stapff of Campbell River, currently training with the WinSport Jr cross-country ski team in Canmore, Alberta, skied a strong race to finish in the top 20 in the Junior Men’s classic sprint race. Stapff also teamed with Courtenay’s Tallon Noble in the team sprint, where they had the opportunity to race along side current National Team skiers fresh off the European race circuit. Noble, a very talented up-and-coming racer, had the race of the week in Juvenile Boys mass start skate. After an equipment breakage shortly after the start of the race put him at the back of the field of more than 70 racers, he clawed his way back into contention and finished a very gutsy race in 13th place. Earlier in the week, Noble put in two seventh-place finishes in the Juvenile Boy’s skate and classic distance races. Rounding out the team

Campbell River riders Nathan Davidson, Dillon Harris and Ashton McCay parlayed hometrack riding into weekend points victories as the Vancouver Island Motocross Association season kicked off Sunday with Round 1 racing at Campbell River Motocross Track. Davidson swept the first and second motos to top 12 rivals in the Junior GP class, and went on to add a third-place finish in the Junior MX-2 class. Harris faced a smaller field, but also swept both motos in the Junior MX-1 division to take the trophy. McCay was similarly a double winner in the 7-8-year-old 50cc division for some of the track’s youngest competitors, then stepped up to the 65cc Pee Wee class to place 6th. Fellow local youths Madi Brett (6th), Tally Gavel (7th) and Thea Gavel (9th) also competed in the 50cc division. Campbell River’s Ethan Oullette was runner-up in the Schoolboy division; Marcus Drake

posted a runner-up finish in the 65cc Pee Wee B division, and Ryan Brett was also second, in the 65cc Pee Wee A. He was followed by Mathew Dobler of Black Creek (4th) and McCay. Other local placewinners included Ryder Roth, 4th in the 85cc 12-16 division; Levi Reimer, 4th in Junior MX-3; Tyler Neil, 5th in Intermediate MX-2; and Brandon Maud, 10th in Junior MX-3. The season opener covered the length of the Island, drawing riders from Victoria to Port Hardy, as well as several from the lower mainland. In the pro class, Ryan Lockhart of Langley, a nationals-calibre competitor, duelled Mission’s Lee Coutts to come away with both the Pro GP and Pro MX-1 titles. Following a practice round Saturday in blustery, occasionally rainy conditions, Sunday’s racing was held in mostly sunny, springtime conditions as the sandy track quickly dried to provide faster conditions as the day went on. Round 2 is scheduled for this Sunday in Nanaimo. Racing returns to Campbell River Motocross Track with Round 10 of the spring series, June 27-28. More racing takes place at the track Aug. 1-2 and Thanksgiving weekend, Oct. 10-11. See full Round 1 results at www.campbellrivermirror.com.

They were part of a sizeable contingent of CRGA gymnasts who traveled to Abbotsford and put on a strong showing in the last warmup competition heading into provincials.

Deagle placed third allaround in the boys Level 4 while winning gold on the high bar, and Carson Ogg finished fourth allaround at Level 3 (under 13) with a gold on parallel bars.

Fishing Corner

Fishing Corner 7x14 with Don Daniels

On April 1st I obtained my new fishing licence from a local Campbell River tackle shop and the employee was more than happy to get me fixed up on line for another year. With the volume of anglers using the system that day, the computers were running a little slow but I did get my licence. I met a number of anglers who were fishing the local waters for winter springs and the reports were varied. Most have been fishing deep, anywhere from 180 to 300 feet of water and lots of blue backs are being caught. Some Halibut have also been caught and Ling cod opens May 1st. To the south of Campbell River at Bates Beach and Kitty Coleman, nice catches of winter springs have been reported. With lots of herring in the area the fishing should continue to be good. With the 5 species of Pacific salmon available in the Campbell River area many anglers from

other countries continue to visit and fish the local rivers for Steelhead. There are a handful of guides that take their clients out each year to the Gold and Salmon Rivers and fishing holes are kept quiet and not publicized to the public. Prior to the long weekend rain in the area had given rivers high water levels and when rain tapered off the locals fished some ideal water. Bruce Giles will fish the Oyster until the end of April for Steelhead. Anna Deschenes from Comox caught her first B.C. trout from shore at Maple Lake using a worm

Maple,Wolf and Spider Lakes are popular lakes to fish for the family and these lakes can see heavy pressure of anglers on the weekend. On Easter Sunday, Echo Lake was busy and the fishing was good for catchable size rainbows.

Those fishing the Upper Campbell during the long weekend battled wind and rain and also a little snow had fallen above 3000 feet. We will need some warmer weather before the bug hatch comes out in the high elevation lakes. On the fly, hook size from a number 8 to 12 and black body seems to work. I changed my fly size to a 6 hook and changed black to a pheasant grey and it worked for me. I managed to catch some nice trout and had a carry over fish from last year at Echo.
