Cold-weather shelter joins ranks of homeless

FRIDAY, APRIL APRIL 17, 17, 2015 2015 || CAMPBELL CAMPBELL RIVER RIVER MIRROR MIRROR || 33 FRIDAY,

www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com

J.R. RARDON

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

More than 16,000 bed stays were recorded this winter as Campbell River Family Services placed a portable extreme-weather shelter downtown for the city’s homeless for the second straight winter season. But now the shelter may be joining the ranks of the homeless. For each of the last two winters, from November through March, the converted 40-foot shipping container provided warm, secure beds for up to 16 people a night on a vacant lot at 1241 Dogwood Street, adjacent to Fire Hall No 1. But that lot has been purchased by a local chiropractic clinic in a property swap with the city. The clinic’s previous location, at 1180 Fir Street, has been proposed for a sobering assessment centre to be run by CRFS, but that centre cannot function as a homeless shelter, CRFS director Paul Mason warns. “ The cold-weather shelter worked wonderfully,” said Mason, who is scheduled to address council at its Monday meeting. “No one perished on the street the last two winters while it was there. Now there’s nowhere for the home-

less to go; they’re going to be back in doorways.” Mason is expected to share with council statistics from the coldweather shelter’s recently completed season, and to update councillors on the proposed sobering assessment centre. But he would also like to see the city address the larger issue of homelessness, and to do so well before the chill winds of autumn raise the question of what is to be done next winter. “We need to have a plan,” said Mason. “We need somewhere 365 (days a year). The sobering assessment centre is going to alleviate a lot of problems, but it’s not a shelter.” During the last winter season, which Mason admits was particularly mild, the cold-weather shelter counted 16,006 bed stays. The total number of users is uncertain, since many of those bed stays were by returning users, but of the 11,544 male users, 783 were First Nations. Of the 462 female users a startling 415 were First Nations. The shelter was staffed by volunteers from Radiant Life Church, and the city donated the use of the lot. But the bulk of the funding comes from Campbell River Family Services, which made the commitment to keep

the cold-weather shelter open nightly, regardless of the temperature. BC Housing, though, provides funding only for nights when conditions meet its extremeweather criteria, with temperatures below zero. “We kept it open every night, from Nov. 1 through March 31, but we only qualified for a small portion of BC Housing funding,” said Mason. “We funded it ourselves, and it really took a chunk out of our funding.” Mild weather or not, Mason is proud of the shelter’s smallest statistic — zero. That’s the number of people who have died of exposure or weather-related causes in Campbell River the past

two winters. By comparison, five people died on the streets in the winter of 2011-12, before the shelter was assembled and placed downtown. The Salvation Army operates an emergency shelter on Evergreen Road, but it is a “highbarrier” shelter which does not accept clients under the influence of alcohol or drugs. And it is a long hike from the downtown core where the bulk of the city’s homeless spend much of their time. Mason said the community has at least 40 chronic, full-time homeless people. A number maintain campsites at Nunn Creek or the area behind SuperStore, but others sleep wherever

The city has agreed, tentatively, to the establishment of the Sobering Assessment Centre but that may prove too little, too late for some. “We will probably not have that building until early next year,” said Mason. “So what are we going to do this winter?”

model to get these people off the street and reduce costs to emergency services, medical care and policing, which all fall to the public purse. Mason credited the generosity of Campbell River residents with keeping the extreme-weather shelter open for the past two years and for stepping up to aid the cause — including raising more

Car crash closes highway A head-on collision on the Old Island Highway sent two people to hospital Tuesday night.

A head-on crash in Black Creek Tuesday night trapped two drivers inside their vehicles. The two vehicle crash occurred around 10 p.m. on the Old Island Highway at Shultz Road. According to one witness, an elderly man driving southbound was struck head on by a northbound mini-van being driven by a woman believed to be in her late

20s. The impact sent the southbound vehicle onto a side road, and trapped both the woman and the man inside their respective vehicles. Oyster River Deputy Fire Chief Bruce Green told CTV Vancouver Island that 10 to 12 firefighters and six paramedics attended the scene. “Drivers in both vehi-

cles were trapped fairly bad,” Green said. “It took us probably 20 to 30 minutes to get her extricated. The dash rolled down on to her legs and pinned her down between the dash and her seat.” The woman was airlifted from the scene but Green said the woman was conscious and alert before being taken away. The man in the north-

bound vehicle was taken to hospital via ambulance and Green said the man’s vehicle suffered significant damage to its front end. The highway was closed past midnight while investigators tried to determine the cause of the crash. A request for comment from the RCMP was not returned before the Mirror went to press.

Seniors: bid to host games revived Salmon on Continued from Pg.5

“He immediately called his members of council and they are enthusiastically supportive of a co-hosted bid for the Seniors Games between the City of Campbell River and the City of Courtenay,” Adams said. At the April 7 council meeting, Coun. Charlie Cornfield had put forward a motion to have Campbell River’s mayor meet with the mayors of the Comox Valley to see if there was a “political

will” to host the games. Adams, who missed that meeting as he was in Ishikari, Japan with the Young Ambassadors exchange program, said he had already spoken to Jangula before he learned of Cornfield’s motion. “Before I read the comments of Charlie and what he wanted me to do, I already did,” Adams said. “We’re certainly on the same page.” Cornfield had wanted the politicians to get

together after City of Campbell River staff said recreation staff at the Comox Valley Regional District bowed out of hosting the games. Comox Valley staff said in light of several events happening in the Valley within the next two years that it may be hard to recruit volunteers. Without the Comox Valley, it would be impossible for Campbell River to host the games as the city alone does

not have all of the facilities required to hold the games. Adams said while he has not yet spoken to the mayors of Comox or Cumberland, Courtenay is definitely up for the challenge. “The City of Courtenay is certainly game,” Adams said. “The benefits you get from bringing this in are too good to pass up.” According to the 55+ BC Games Society, the multi-sport event has

the potential to generate more than $2.1 million in economic spin-off for host communities. Campbell River cohosted the event with the Comox Valley in 2010 and roughly 3,300 athletes took part in 28 competitive games and sports. Adams said he will be bringing forward a motion at Monday’s council meeting recommending the city submit a bid to co-host a future 55+ BC Games.

Our View

What we have here is a failure to communicate Closing marine communications and traffic centres in Comox and Ucluelet seems like a dangerous idea. Local New Democratic Party candidate Rachel Blaney issued a news release this week, on the heels of an oil spill in Vancouver Harbour, urging the federal government to halt the planned closure of these facilities. “I have extreme concerns that an event like this could happen in the Salish Sea and Johnston Strait,” said Blaney, the NDP candidate for the North IslandPowell River. “Instead of defending the response we saw in Vancouver, the Conservatives should start listening to British Columbians and restore coast guard services.” We are fortunate here to have a Coast Guard station. It’s situated at Discovery Marina, an ideal location to help those in distress in Discovery Passage and the surrounding waters. The number of boats We say: The federal on the waters off the coast during government should Island’s the herring spawn and make safety along fishing and tourist seathe coast a priority son is staggering and, at least to the layman’s eyes, it looks dangerous. Add to that the number of commercial boats that move up and down the Strait of Georgia every day, the cruise ships and the pleasure craft that enjoy the waters off what’s been called Canada’s Riviera, and we cannot imagine a place more in need of a Coast Guard presence. If it comes to pass that more oil tankers are using the Strait, it would make sense to add, not subtract, marine communications facilities. If you have ever stood near the lighthouse on the Wild Pacific Trail in Ucluelet, looking down and out at what has been called (for good reason) the Graveyard of the Pacific, then you would agree that modern, reliable communications between ship and shore seems essential to the preservation of life and cargo. Conservative whip and Vancouver Island North MP John Duncan needs to make this a priority. While Blaney and others have decided the federal election campaign has already started, Duncan has been doing his job as whip and MP. Part of that job is protecting the safety of his constituents and the safe movement of goods and people in the waters of his constituency. The NDP is trying to force the issue politically. Fair enough, but if there was no federal election on the horizon, this is something we would need Duncan to address, to go to bat for B.C., as part of his MP duties. — Black Press

Treaty cash cow may dry up The B.C. Treaty Commission and its federal and provincial financiers put on a brave show last week, celebrating a “milestone” in negotiations for a modern treaty with five Vancouver Island First Nations. A regional group representing the Songhees, Beecher Bay, T’Souke, Malahat and Snaw-Naw-As (Nanoose) First Nations have reached the “agreement in principle” stage of negotiations with Canada and B.C., after 20 years of treaty talks. This is similar to the treaty finalized in 2007 with another five-member Vancouver Island group called Maa-Nulth First Nations. The Te’mexw Treaty Association agreed to accept 1,565 hectares of provincial Crown land and $142 million in federal cash to settle its historic aboriginal title. Alas, agreement in principle is but the fourth of sixth stages. Now a platoon of lawyers takes over from the roomful of negotiators to produce the final legal text. It will be years before this treaty can be presented to the B.C. legislature and the House

federally-regulated fisheries. This has been a theme of B.C. Treaty Commission reports in recent years, as Ottawa holds up treaties for years because it is unable or unwilling to offer shares of salmon in particular. Hunting and fishing rights are acknowledged even in historic treaties, and reaffirmed by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Sharing these rights while maintaining conservation of fish stocks has been more than Ottawa, and in some cases neighbouring aboriginal communities, have been able to manage. Eyford’s findings, and the B.C. government’s sudden refusal to keep staffing a B.C. Treaty Commission that shows so little progress, have sent one overdue message. If participants aren’t prepared to make real compromises and show a willingness to conclude agreements rather than drag them out, they should leave and come back when they are ready to do so.

Feeling feline: Survey shows that people value community cats The results of a recent survey shows that B.C. is on the right track when it comes to dealing with outdoor-living cats. The U.S. national survey, commissioned by the Best Friends Animal Society late last year, reveals overwhelming support for the

trap-neuter-return (TNR) method of managing populations of unowned, free-roaming “community” cats. A longtime issue in British Columbia, cat overpopulation is a crisis that the BC SPCA has been working to address, along with other rescue groups

and humane organizations, veterinarians, cat coalitions, volunteers and animal lovers. While the study is American, BC SPCA policy and outreach officer Amy Morris suggests Canadian attitudes toward free-roaming cats tend to mirror those in the United States. “Though we have lower population numbers than in the U.S., we still see large numbers of freeroaming cats in colonies,” Morris says. “Many cat lovers provide food, water and shelter for the cruelly abandoned felines, but they lack the financial re-

sources to pay for spay and neuter surgeries.” The survey asked respondents to indicate their preference from among three options for managing community cats, and 68 per cent chose “sterilize and vaccinate healthy stray cats and return them to where they were captured (TNR)”, compared to only 24 per cent who chose “impoundment be shelter staff followed by lethal injection for any cats not adopted” and the eight per cent who chose “do nothing.” The second question asked which one of six factors most influenced survey participants’ response to the first question, with36 per cent choosing the health/welfare of the cats, followed by public health (32 per cent), cost (16 per cent), environment/conservation (10 per cent), property rights (four per cent) and ‘other’ (one per cent). Tens of thousands of cats and kittens live outdoors in B.C., suffering from illness, injuries, starvation, frostbite and predator attacks. Using the TNR method is one of the ways the BC SPCA is working to help tackle the cat overpopulation crisis as a priority in its 2014-2018 Strategic Plan, where donor funds designated to sterilizing cats are earmarked toward helping these outdoor, free-roaming cats whose

offspring suffer the most. The BC SPCA dedicates roughly $2 million each year on spay/neuter programs in communities throughout B.C. and ensures that every dog, cat and rabbit adopted from an SPCA shelter is sterilized prior to adoption. “In 2014, $80,000 was allocated to assist outdoor cats, with another $80,000 being distributed in 2015,” Morris notes. “The BC SPCA ensure projects are targeted and successful: 100 per cent of the cats in a colony are sterilized, and colony caretakers provide ongoing monitoring in case any additional cats are illegally abandoned. They ensure any new arrivals also receive spay or neuter surgeries.” Hedley, Nanoose Bay, Prince George and Gold

Maintaining bird feeders and bird baths essential to avian health Bird watching is a pastime enjoyed by people of all ages. While many people trek into the woods to see their favorite birds, homeowners can take steps to entice these fascinating and feathered friends right to their backyards. Homeowners who want to attract birds to their properties can do so by providing the birds food, shelter and places to wash up or cool off. Installing a bird feeder and a bird bath in your yard is one way to attract a bevy of winged creatures that can provide hours of enjoyment. Establishing a birdfriendly environment may seem as simple as hanging a feeder on a pole or tree and erecting a bird bath nearby. But a certain level of maintenance is needed to keep birds healthy and happy. According to the experts at the Bird Watcher's Digest, recent research indicates feeders can sometimes be a source of disease for the birds visiting them. Feeders and baths can serve as transmission stations for diseases such as aspergillosis, avian pox and salmonellosis. Recently, scientists noted that the spread of trichomonad protozoan parasites is on the rise, especially among mourning dove and band-tailed pigeon populations.

initial location. • Follow proper instructions with regard to seed and other bird food. For example, reduce the amount of suet offered in hot weather. Heat can cause suet to spoil, and sticky suet can become stuck in birds' feathers and make it hard for them to keep clean. • Try to provide more than one feeder and bird bath to prevent overcrowding. Crowding can contribute to the spread of disease. • Do not situate feed-

Such warnings are not meant to deter budding birding hobbyists but such warnings send the message that disinfection and maintenance is necessary to maintain sanitary environments for birds. Doing so is relatively easy and well worth the time. • Clean your hanging feeders once every two weeks or more often if they're heavily used. Ground-feeding designs should be cleaned every two days. Feeders can be immersed in a very-diluted solution of bleach to water (nine parts water to one part bleach). Let soak for a few minutes, and then scrub the feeder

with a stiff brush or scouring pad before rinsing. Allow the feeder to dry completely before refilling it with seed. • Bird baths should be emptied of water each day. Brush or wipe the bath clean, then rinse and refill with fresh water. Do not leave standing water overnight; otherwise bird baths can easily become a breeding ground for mosquitoes and other parasites. • Frequently collect discarded seed hulls and clean bird droppings from beneath feeders. If the area around the feeder has become especially soiled, relocate the feeder elsewhere and clean its

the glass. • Store seed in a dry container with a tightfitting lid to prevent mold from forming and moisture from getting in. Creating a thriving habitat for bird watching is easier than one might think. But once birds begin visiting a yard, homeowners must diligently maintain clean feeders and bird baths to ensure the birds stay as healthy as possible.

Wait a week before resuming feeding and notify wildlife officials if you find dead or sick birds around your property. • Locate feeders and baths at least 30 feet away from windows so birds do not get confused by reflections and collide with

will connect Canada through art. “Each of these sections will stand alone as a mural for that particular community,” according to a Canada 150 Mural Mosaic report. “However, each of these sections of the mural will become one of the many storybook pages within the overall mural to form the ultimate visual time capsule and create a legacy for a proud nation.” The project began March 6 in St. Albert and has been moving across Canada. Only five to 15 communities per province and territory will be selected to take part in the project and design a section of the mural that represents their community. Council endorsed Campbell River’s participation in the Canada 150 Mural Mosaic Project at last week’s Tuesday council meeting when it approved spending $10,000 from its Parks Parcel Tax fund. While council supported the initiative, some councillors how-

Influx of Cooper’s hawks following spring migration The Cooper’s hawk (Accipter cooperii) is among one of the most skillful fliers in the bird world. They are most commonly seen as woodland hawks that zip through dense tree canopies in pursuit of other birds, often at high speed. Recognized as a medium-sized hawk with broad, rounded wings and a very long tail, the Cooper’s hawks’ head often appears large, with broad shoulders, and a rounded tail, as opposed to its smaller relative, the sharpshinned hawk’s square tail (also an Accipiter). Adults are blue-gray

One such poignant story related recently in Campbell River where the hawk was discovered outside New Horizons Care Home before coming to Mountainaire Avian Rescue Society. MARS Supervisor of Wildlife Care Reg Westcott said “the hawk is doing well and appears to have had no injuries.” He said the hawk is just under a year old, is underweight at approximately 300 grams but

is feeding well, alert and responsive. Cooper’s hawks should weigh up to 566 grams (1.5 pounds). This young hawk was recently released back to the wild by MARS volunteers.On another occasion, a Cooper’s hawk flew into the service bays at Fountain Tire and stayed for four days. It left the facility after being attracted to a water drip set up to lure it outside. Since these large buildings have high ceil-

ings and provide ample perches, it makes capture a challenge. This weekend we received a phone call from Duncan where another Cooper’s hawk gained entrance to a Save-on Foods store, which also makes trapping difficult. Usually the interior lights are diminished with only the exit showing the lighted area where the bird can escape; but with store lights on until 10 p.m. and then followed by

cleaning staff, there is little time for the light to be turned down. We suggested using small caged birds as a lure to attract the hawk down from the rafters, ensuring the safety and humane treatment of the bird(s). If the cage birds are set outside the doorway the movement should attract the hawk down and outside to freedom in a short time with less stress from chasing around inside the building where there is dan-

ger from impact. On a more recent note, we recovered two wood ticks from a separate Cooper’s hawk that died from its injuries. These ticks were submitted to a testing centre for the study of Lyme disease in Ontario. MARS has been participating in this particular wildlife disease study for over 10 years, one of many such research projects that we contribute information to. For information, visit www.wingtips.org

BroomBusters efforts are paying off KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

An inspiring speech by a Qualicum Beach woman has Campbell River looking a lot more attractive these days. Joanne Sales, the founder of BroomBusters - a group organized in Qualicum Beach to completely eradicate the area of Scotch broom – inspired two local women to do the same here after a presentation to city council in 2013. “ Tw o y e a r s a g o Joanne came to council and told us about her experience cutting Scotch broom in Qualicum and throughout that area and we were so impressed with what she achieved with such a small group that we wanted to work with her and we have, under her umbrella for the past two years, achieved a great deal,” said Morgan Ostler, who co-

organized the Campbell River BroomBusters chapter with Carol Couture. “Joanne gave us an inspiring address.” The group has since been trying to tackle the spread of the prolific Scotch broom across the city. Since 2013, when the group first began, volunteers have managed to clear broom from all four of the major entrances to the city, as well as spots in Campbellton and a section of Highway 28 (Gold River Highway) west of the Haig Brown House with the help of the Campbellton Neighbourhood Association. Last year, the group also cleaned up the south end of the city. “We cleared all of South Dogwood Street from the Beaver Lodge Lands down to the end where Dogwood meets Jubilee Parkway,” Ostler told council during a presentation at last week’s council meeting.

“With the assistance of the Timberline senior boys we cleared the east section of Jubilee Highway and a large section at the intersection of Dogwood and Jubilee when a large contingent of Rotarians turned out to help us remove tons of broom from that area.” But despite all those efforts, BroomBusters volunteers would like to see more done. Bev Agur, the BroomBusters coordinator in the Comox Valley, said the City of Courtenay has allowed her to put up large yellow signs on prominent city property reminding people to ‘Cut broom in bloom.’ Her ef for ts have attracted more than 200 volunteers. Coun. Charlie Cornfield liked that idea and made a motion following Ostler and Sales’ presentation that city staff report back to council on ways the city can assist Broom-

Busters, whether it be through a bylaw, signage or other means. That motion was unanimously approved by council. Coun. Ron Kerr, who has participated in several broom cuts, said the BroomBusters are an example of what can be done when people put their minds to it. “You’re totally inspiring,” Kerr said. “I think to most of us it’s overwhelming to look at all that broom. I think the most common response is, ‘it’s too much, we can’t do anything about it, let’s just give up.’ But you

haven’t given up and that impresses me. I’m getting really excited ab out gett ing out there and killing some broom.” Scotch broom, an alien species which kills native plants, takes over vacant lots, is highly flammable and causes allergies, can only be effectively killed a few months out of the year. “We found out that if you cut broom in bloom it will die,” Sales said. “If you pull it out or if you try to use an excavator, the seeds

will re-sprout. Each plant can make 18,000 seeds and the seeds live in the soil for 40 to 50 years. But if you cut it and you leave a good grass cover the broom doesn’t come back. You have this window in the spring when it’s blooming and you just want to cut it.” It’s believed that Scotch broom was first introduced to Vancouver Island in 1850 when travellers from Europe brought the plant to Sooke. The plant, which

Carihi is ‘in the pink’ for annual spring musical Everything is in the pink in the Carihi theatre as the students prepare for their spring musical “Legally Blonde,” next week. This hilarious comedy tells the story of perky Elle Woods as she follows her ex-boyfriend to Harvard Law School to try to win him back. She gets accepted to the prestigious law school, and experiences a few setbacks, but manages to surprise everyone when she defies expectations while staying true to herself. After last year’s amazing musical, which sold out most nights, you will not want to miss seeing what the Carihi theatre program has got in store for you this year. It promises to be quite the production. “I have never worked on a more challenging show,” says Christine Knight, one of the show’s directors. “The set, the music, the costumes... it’s all just so big! But it’s going to be amazing. We are so proud of the work that the cast, crew and musicians have done.” T h e s h ow op e ns Wednesday, April 22 at Carihi, and runs through Saturday, April 25.

Local man to volunteer onboard African hospital ship Spooner will pay his own way to volunteer his services as a housekeeper on board. He leaves Vancouver Island on April 26 for Madagascar. Spooner, who moved from Campbell River recently to study at the University of Victoria, aspires to be a physician. “I want to be able to make a difference in the lives of people who are unable to access appropriate health care,” says Spooner. He will spend two months living and working alongside 400 crew members from

around the world. His unique role may not be one that most think of when it comes to helping the poor, but Spooner will play an important part on the ship, making sure patients have a clean space to sleep and recover in comfort. “The fact that so many people are willing to take months and even years out of their busy schedules is amazing,” says Spooner. “I look forward to being part of an atmosphere that is driven to provide health care to others.” The Africa Mercy and

Campbell River’s Jesse Spooner will volunteer aboard the world’s largest charity hospital ship.

the Mercy Ships team spend an average of 10

months in each country they visit, holding

screenings, performing medical operations, providing post-operative care and general health services, training local leaders and aiding in development projects. Massive goiters, cleft lips and palates, cataracts, bowed legs and fistulas are some of the common issues seen by Africa Mercy medical staff as they move from port to port in Africa. The ship functions like a small town which requires many different departments and skills to function properly. Although the main purpose of the ship

is to be a hospital for patients to come and receive free health care and surgery, it is a community that lives together, works together and is driven to be there for the purpose of bringing hope and healing to those less fortunate. The Africa Mercy would not be able to deliver healthcare services without its crew of exemplary volunteers like Spooner.

Campbell River’s Jesse Spooner will leave Vancouver Island behind for the island nation of Madagascar. Its population of 22 million has little access to healthcare, and Spooner, 22, will contribute to changing this as he boards the world’s largest charity hospital ship, the Africa Mercy, docked in the country’s port city Tamatave. The Africa Mercy is a volunteer driven hospital ship belonging to international charity Mercy Ships which provides free surgeries and healthcare to those most in need.

ThinkEARTH DAY Support Campbell River youth at the

Earth Week Film Festival

how your support for Campbell River youth and local environmental initiatives by attending this year’s Earth Week Film Festival! The festival takes place Thursday, April 23 at the Tidemark Theatre, with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. and the show starting at 7 p.m. Admission is by donation at the door, and proceeds from the event will support a post-secondary environmental bursary for a graduating School District 72 student. Campbell River’s Youth Action Committee is helping to coordinate this year’s festival, which features the multiple award-winning feature film Just Eat It, as well as local films Harvest Campbell Riverand Transit Tales. Just Eat It follows the journey of two filmmakers/ food lovers as they dive into the issue of food waste from farm, though retail, all the way to back of their own fridge. With the billions of dollars of good food that is trashed each year in North America, they pledge to quit grocery shopping and

survive only on discarded food. The film provides a humorous look at a serious waste challenge, and filmmakers Grant Baldwin and Jenny Rustemeyer will attend the Campbell River event for a discussion after the film is shown. “Food waste is a common problem that everyone can relate to because we all have to eat. This film shows normal people trying to find a solution,” says Emma Minato, a member of the Youth Action Committee. The Youth Action Committee has helped organize the Earth Week Film Festival for the past three years, and has raised funds from the event for local environmental programs and student bursaries. The Youth Action Committee is a City committee composed of innovative and motivated youth in grades 9 to 12 that provide a youth perspective on community issues to City Council and staff. The committee identifies actions and solutions to address community issues such as youth programs, transit scheduling, local food initiatives and much more.

“The Earth Week Film Festival is a great way to surround yourself with people who have similar concerns about food waste and to have interesting conversations,” says Claire Billings, a Grade 12 student on the Youth Action Committee. “It is the Youth Action Committee’s major annual event and provides a taste of some of the great local environmental initiatives you might not be aware of in our city.” The festival is an actionpacked event that the City of Campbell River and School District 72 organize each year. The event coincides closely with Earth Day, and is intended to inspire the community and support local action on environmental projects. The event is often thought-provoking, humorous, and each year community organizations are invited to set up informative booths in the lobby to raise awareness about local initiatives.

Earth Day!

TUESDAY APRIL 22 2015

What is Earth Day?

arth Day is an annual event, celebrated on April 22, on which day events worldwide are held to demonstrate support for environmental protection. It was ﬁrst celebrated in 1970, and is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network, and celebrated in more than 192 countries each year. In 1969 at a UNESCO Conference in San Francisco, peace activist John McConnell proposed a day to honor the Earth and the concept of peace,

to first be celebrated on March 21, 1970, the ﬁrst day of spring in the northern hemisphere. This day of nature’s equipoise was later sanctioned in a Proclamation written by McConnell and signed by Secretary General U Thant at the United Nations. A month later a separate Earth Day was founded by United States Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in ﬁrst held on April 22, 1970. Nelson was later awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom Award

in recognition of his work. While this April 22 Earth Day was focused on the United States, an organization launched by Denis Hayes, who was the original national coordinator in 1970, took it international in 1990 and organized events in 141 nations. Numerous communities celebrate Earth Week, an entire week of activities focused on environmental issues. Source: www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Earth_Day

ater conservation is everyone’s responsibility. Water is the lifeblood of the planet, and without it, we would cease to exist. Did you know that, in 2004, the average Canadian daily domestic use of fresh water per capita was 329 litres? And as populations continue to grow, so does our consumption rate. Water conservation involves the policies, strategies and activities used to manage fresh water as a sustainable resource, to protect the water environment, and to meet current and future human demand. We can all takes steps torard reducing our water consumption, but there are occasions when it is necessary for local governments to step in and restrict water usage in order to maintain enough water for household and firefighting needs. Water use typically doubles in our summer moths from the average

winter usage, mostly due to landscape irrigation. All forecasts indicate summer 2015 will be hot and dry, and we should be start thinking about what we can do to prepare to conserve water. Here are some tips: • keep water in the refrigerator instead of running the tap to get cold water; • don’t use your toilet as a garbage bin! each flush can use up to 7 litres of water; • take shorter showers; • check faucets, pipes and toilets for leaks; • turn the water off after you wet your toothbrush • use rain barrels to catch water for gardening; • only use your washer/ dishwasher for full loads; • water your lawn/garden during the early parts of the day; avoid when it’s windy; • water your lawn only when it needs it; • don’t water the gutter! • use a broom to clean your driveways and sidewalks, not a hose; and

• don’t run the hose while washing your car. When water restrictions come into effect, they refer to phases, with the 3rd phase being the most restrictive. Unfortunately, the three phases can be confusing. The table to the right identifies activities for each of the 3 stages of restrictions and offers a guideline for you and your family to consider as we gear up for a long, hot, dry summer. The Strathcona Regional District will post water restriction notices online and in the paper, asking residents in the restricted area to adhere to the appropriate guidelines when using water. For the regional district, water restrictions apply to all residents within Electoral Area D and the Craig Road Water Local Service Area.

WHAT IS DRIP WATERING? Slow, even watering directly to the root zone...

The slow precise delivery of water directly to the root zone of your plants keeps the root zone moist, but never saturated. The plants retain their proper air and water balance and avoid the stress and shock of th “drench and dryout” cycle associated with conventional watering methods. this results in optimum growth and healthier plants.

OWN BAGS

The average North American family uses 1,000 plastic bags every year, 80 percent of which come from food stores. Taking your own bags considerably reduces the amount of disposable bags used.

If your water heater is hot to the touch, covering it with an insulation blanket will reduce hot water costs by 9 percent.

Ensuring that your tires are always inflated to the right pressure enables you to reduce gas consumption by at least 3 percent. An extra 74 litres of gas is consumed every year if just one tire is 20 percent under-inflated.

8 EAT MORE

7 COMPOST Composting allows you to cut household garbage in half. Install a composter and separate organic matter from other garbage and recyclable materials on a daily basis. Fruit and vegetable peels, egg shells, coffee grounds, grass cuttings, and leaves can go in the composter.

LOWER THE THERMOSTAT

Thirty percent of greenhouse gases are produced by heating or cooling homes. Lowering the temperature by just one degree can cut your heating bill by up to 5 percent.

North-Americans eat twice as much meat as the global average. Deciding as a family to have one meat-free day a week can make a big difference.

13 CHANGE

Respecting speed limits reduces gas consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent.

Switching the way you light your home will save money and energy. A compact fluorescent light bulb uses 66 percent less electricity than an incandescent light bulb and lasts ten times longer.

WATER CONSUMPTION

Having a bath uses about 75 litres of hot water, while a five-minute shower with a low-flow head uses about half that amount.

USE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, WALK, OR CYCLE

Cycling or walking is good for our planet and our health. Using public transportation is another alternative to consider.

USE REUSABLE CONTAINERS

Using reusable containers will reduce the cost of your lunches by up to 45 percent, while reducing garbage by 89 percent.

15ADJUST THE

REFRIGERATOR THERMOSTAT

Of all your household appliances, the refrigerator uses the most electricity. Adjusting the thermostat of your fridge to between 2° and 3° C and the freezer to between -18° and -15° C will have a big impact.

ThinkCHILDREN Being Eco-responsible is a way of life for today’s families Today’s children are the adults of tomorrow. That is why it is so important to educate them about good environmental values as early as possible. There is no shortage of ideas for making environmental responsibility a way of life, even for children. Apart from the mandatory three R’s (reduce at source, reuse, recycle), there are plenty of little gestures that can be fun and rewarding for the entire family. Toy exchanges Organize a toy exchange among friends; everyone goes home with new playthings and nothing goes to the dump. Recycled art Invite your children to create a work of art from a collection of such things as cardboard tubes, egg boxes, and aluminum cans. Composter Build a composter with the children and use it to make compost from kitchen and garden waste. It is a great way to enrich the soil in your yard.

outage, during which the children don’t use computers, video games, or watch TV. This is great for discovering “offline” activities. Community cleanup Plan a community cleanup day, where children can group together and choose a place to clean up, such as a park or part of the neighbourhood. Not only does this activity foster a sense of belonging, but it

also lets children contribute to the enhancement of their surroundings. Green committee Set up a green committee for children and help them meet on a regular basis. The members of this panel can work together to develop projects that involve making environmentally responsible choices for their homes or neighbourhood.

the countless benefits of community gardening

ave you ever wondered what the benefits of a community garden are? Community gardens have ecological benefits, social benefits, nutrition benefits, and economic benefits. They help us reduce our ecological footprint by growing our own food, they help to decrease waste from packaging, and promote food security. In fact, studies show that community gardens promote community building and actually help to reduce crime. If you’ve ever considered getting involved in a community garden, here are 10 good reasons to get you started: 1. Gardening is relaxing, combats stress, and is considered a moderate to intense form of exercise. 2. Community gardens restore oxygen into the air and help reduce air pollution. 3. Large quantities of organic waste can be used to fertilize gardens, thus helping to minimize a community’s overall waste output. 4. Can provide cost savings to your grocery budget – an investment of 10 dollars in seeds can bring a value of $500 to $700 per

season. A community garden becomes an outdoor classroom where learning to grow plants is mentally stimulating and working in it develops critical life skills. Youth can gain practical job and life skills (such as math and basic business principles), and learn about the work that is required to get the food they eat to the table, the importance of community, stewardship and environmental sustainability. Community gardening provides volunteer opportunities, a sense of pride in ownership and stewardship within the community. People who grow their own food have access to a variety of fresh produce that supports nutritional health, decreases susceptibility to illnesses and overall reduces the burden on the health care system. A community garden can become a social focal point while optimizing, restoring and beautifying underutilized common space, and can increase neighbourhood property

values. 10. Many police departments recognize community garden projects as an effective strategy to prevent local crime. They foster a sense of mutual respect among community members, lead to the formation of neighbourhood associations and social networks, and increase the number of people in public places. Ultimately, a community garden can enable current generations to appreciate and restore their surroundings, empowering future generations to meet their own needs in a thriving environment. The Strathcona Regional District is in the process of getting the Maple Park Community Garden ready for planting. The community garden, located within Maple Park at 29 Anton Road, is an empty canvas, waiting for your growing ideas. If you are interested in helping to plan and grow this new community garden, please contact the Regional District at 250.830.6700 or by email at parks@strathconard.ca.

Bike – and Off Oil

reaking addictions can be tough, but you don’t have to go cold turkey. Reducing our dependence on oil means switching to cleaner energy sources, and reducing our consumption of energy as much as we can. Cars are the largest source of greenhouse gases and other air pollutants. Each day Canada’s 14 million cars lead to: • Greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change. A recent study found that over 45 per cent of Canada’s habitat could be lost by the end of this century due to climate change. • Premature deaths of up to 16,000 Canadians each year. Tens of thousands more suffer from respiratory ailments such as asthma that are associated with and aggravated by air pollution. • More smog days coupled with more heat waves. What can I do? Try leaving your car in the driveway for just one trip a week. Walking and jogging are simple alternatives to driving and great ways to get in shape. Consider these tips before you take the first step: • Make a plan. The average pedestrian can walk one kilometre in 10 minutes so estimate how far you’ll need to walk and how long it will take to get there. • Save on gym fees. A 125-lb. person walking at a brisk pace for only 30 minutes burns 150 calories; a 196 lb. person burns 235 calories. Visit the Walking Calorie Calculators.

• Get fit. Thirty minutes of walking per day cuts the risk of heart disease by up to half, and reduces the risk of some cancers, diabetes, obesity, and osteoporosis. • Learn more. Walking is a great way to get to know your neighborhood and community. In addition the pace of walking is conducive to visiting or contemplation. • What about the kids? Getting your kids off the couch and outdoors doesn’t need to be painful. Share what you’ve learned about the environmental and health benefits and get them involved in planning a car-free day. They might enjoy working on a project with you and you’ll spend quality time together. Cycle your way to a healthier planet Many of our car trips are for distances less than three kilometers — well within the range of an easy bike ride. In just 15 minutes the average person can bike 3.5 km. Here are some other benefits to cycling to your destinations: • Get there quick! For trips of up to 10 km, cycling is usually the fastest way to travel within the city. • Save $$$. It costs about $200 per year to maintain a bike, plus an additional $300 for accessories — compared to $7,500 the average Canadian pays to own a car. • Improve your health! 30 minutes of brisk cycling several times a week reduces the risk of developing coronary heart disease, adult diabetes and obesity by as much as 50%.

Kids programs get funding boost

Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island announced this week it will disburse $2.25 million in funding to Island programs that support children and youth with disabilities and health challenges. Twenty-four organizations across the Island will receive funding this year, including two programs in Campbell River— Dogwood Place Child and Youth Development Centre ($15,000) and the John Howard Society of the North Island ($25,000). At Dogwood Place, the funding will go towards the purchase of equipment to create a safe and inviting space for children with sensory needs and their families. The John Howard Society is a mentoring program which focuses on the positive development of children and youth ages 6-18 who could benefit from having stable and caring adults in their lives. Approximately 25 per cent of participants have a formal mental health diagnosis, and

the remainder display behaviour and actions that put them at risk of developing mental health difficulties. “Our funding helps children’s programs thrive and grow, programs which are essential to supporting the health of Island children with disabilities and health challenges,” said Linda Hughes, president and CEO of Children’s Health Foundation. “We are grateful to our donors who support our work and who believe in helping Island kids achieve great health outcomes.” Since 1984, the foundation has invested over $44 million in programs that benefit children with disabilities and health challenges. Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island is a registered charity that raises funds to support children with disabilities and health challenges on Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands. The foundation owns and operates Jeneece Place in Victoria and built the Sooke

Committed to Kids Two years ago, eight-yearold Ben* was struggling with anxiety. It impacted his ability to take part in a regular school program and got in the way of him making friends.

His grandmother, Jean, who is raising Ben and his two siblings, believed he needed a positive male role model in his life, which he didn’t have at home. Through KidStart, a mentorship program run by The John Howard Society of North Island, Ben was matched with Frank, a volunteer mentor. The difference in Ben’s mental health and well-being has been incredible. “Ben is doing much better since he started in KidStart,” Jean says. “His self-esteem, relationships, and academic performance have improved, and he’s becoming better at managing his anxiety.” Thanks to a grant from Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island, more children in Campbell River will benefit from having a mentor.

The largest children’s health charity on Vancouver Island, Children’s Health Foundation raises money to ensure children with disabilities and health challenges have access to the support they need, so they can have the same opportunities and life chances as other children. Children’s Health Foundation recently announced it will invest an incredible $2.25 million in children’s programs in 2015/2016. The John Howard Society’s KidStart is one of this year’s 24 funded partners. “Our funding helps children and youth thrive and grow,” says Foundation CEO Linda Hughes. “We are grateful to our donors who support our work and help Island kids achieve great health outcomes.” Since 1984, Children’s Health Foundation has invested over $44 million in children’s programs. This year, the Foundation’s funding will reach nearly 40,000 children on Vancouver Island. * Names have been changed

IN MEMORIAM GIFTS

November 13, 1924 – April 13, 2015 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Amalia Tancon on April 13, 2015 at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Comox. Amalia (nee Adami) was born November 13, 1924 in the village of Gares in the Dolomite Alps of Northeastern Italy. She married Ottorino Alberto Tancon in 1947 and moved to his town of Canale D’Agordo where 4 sons were born. Her husband immigrated to Canada in 1951 to find work, and Amalia with 4 boys joined him in Ocean Falls, BC in 1956. They were blessed with 5 more children and had many happy years in that thriving paper mill community. Amalia was a woman of strong faith that saw her through some very difficult times, including the loss of her husband to cancer in 1970 at just 49 years old, and the loss of their son Bruno Robert in 1996. She was the true matriarch of the family- strong, loving and passionate. Moving her family to Campbell River in 1971, she learned to drive and went to work to support her youngest children. She bought a house and lived there independently for 43 years until 2014, when her health began to fail. Grateful thanks to Frank and Wendy who cared for her in their home until she needed extended care. Amalia is survived by her sons Paolo (Joanna), Gino (Catherine), Federico (Bev), Renato (Chris), Franco (Wendy), Mario (Melodie), Daniele (Angela), and her only daughter Maria Matheson (Neil). Amalia leaves a legacy of many grandchildren and great-grandchildren who thrived on her love and Italian cooking. She was much loved by her large family and many friends and will be greatly missed. The family would like to thank Dr. Brian Carswell, her physician of many years, as well as the staff of Campbell River and District General Hospital, Dr. Matt Robertson and the staff of Oceanview Extended Care at St. Joseph’s Hospital, for their compassionate care of Amalia in her final few months. Thanks also to Mario for lovingly providing her with many home cooked meals. Amalia’s funeral service will held in Campbell River at St Patrick’s Catholic Church on Friday, April 24, at 11:00 am.

further cement its position within the community, uphold its Francophone presence and unite Francophones and Francophiles on Vancouver Island. Berthe Lapierre, president of the Association francophone de Camp-

bell River said the funding helps keep the Francophone culture alive. “Thanks to the annual funding that the AFCR receives from the federal government and with the support of volunteers in the community and partnerships

with other provincial Francophone organizations, the Association is able to carry out its mission of promoting the French language and Francophone culture in the Campbell River area on Vancouver Island,” Lapierre said.

Earth Week Film Fest asks ‘where is your food going?”

On April 23, the sixth annual Earth Week Film Festival, organized by the City of Campbell River and the Youth Action Committee, will show the award-winning film

Just Eat It: A Food Waste Story. The event takes place at the Tidemark Theatre, with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. and the film starting at 7 p.m.

This eye-opening yet humorous film follows two B.C. filmmakers/ food lovers as they dive into the issue of food waste from farm, through retail, all the way to the

back of their own fridge. Inspired by the staggering estimate that nearly half of all food in North America ends up in the landfill, a young Vancouver couple, Grant Baldwin and Jenny Rustemeyer, pledge to quit grocery shopping and survive only on discarded food for six months. “We waste a lot of food and don’t even realize it – such pointless waste,” says Nigel Neufeld, a Grade 11 student and chair of Campbell River’s Youth Action Committee. “We need food to live so why waste it?”

This year’s audience is in for a treat as filmmakers and stars of the film, Baldwin and Rustemeyer, will attend the Earth Week Film Festival. After the film, they will be available for a discussion and questions from the audience. In 2012, the couple attended the Earth Week Film Festival for the showing of their previous award-winning film The Clean Bin Project, in which they dared each other not to produce any household waste for an entire year. The festival is an

action-packed event that coincides closely with Earth Day, and is intended to inspire the community and support local action on environmental projects. The event is often thoughtprovoking, humorous, and each year community organizations set up informative booths in the lobby to raise awareness about local environmental initiatives. This year, the Compost Education Centre, Comox Strathcona Waste Management, Greenways Land Trust, the city, the Youth Action Committee, Ross Moun-

tain Farm, and Fiesta Greenhouses will be on hand to promote their local food and environmental initiatives. The city’s Youth Action Committee (YAC) has helped organize the Earth Week Film Festival for the past three years, and has raised funds from the event for local environmental programs and student bursaries. Admission for the festival is by donation at the door, and proceeds from the event will support a post-secondary environmental bursary for a graduating SD72 student.

Rugby season winding down

Campbell River Athletic Association’s U14 Boys and U14 Girls made their way to the historic grounds of Shawnigan Lake School, just south of Duncan, last Sunday. The boys faced the Seattle Vikings, Port Coquitlam’s United Rugby Club, and South Surrey’s Bayside Rugby Club. The girls faced Oak Bay’s Castaway-Wanderers. Scores were not officially kept as it was a Jamboree format but the coaches felt that Campbell River players played strong defence and ran in many tries from great passing and support plays, plus went eightfor-eight on conversion kicks. The U14 Boys have wrapped their club season and will prepare for North Island Tsunami tryouts in May and June with hopes of representing the region at Provincial Regional Championships in Burnaby June Paige Beauregard, left, makes a tackle on a Castaway-Wanderer in U14 Girls action during a 27 and 28.

After a very dry offseason, Saratoga Speedway returns for its 47th year of racing – the 34th year under owner and operator Paul Hargrave. Last year brought a lot of new faces to the Speedway, along with the re-birth of the I.M.C.A Modified class and the continued growth of the Hornet car class. Saratoga Speedway will open May 2 with the Crash to Pass cars, Hornet cars, Roadrunners, Bomber cars and the Figure 8’s all fighting for double points, which will all be topped off by yet another amazing firework show. Last year saw the I.M.C.A Modified class rise from the ashes, growing from a mere five cars

in 2013 to 16 cars in 2014. With lots of local drivers switching over to the fast Modified class, be sure to check out their nine races on the season with upwards of 20 cars to grace the Speedway over the 2015 year. The Hornet division is once again looking to be one of great success. With a record amount of young talent taking the driving course over the off season, the class is once again looking to be a very fun competitive class, with lots of great young talent leading the way. Among these classes will be our five local classes – The Bomber cars, Crash to Pass cars, Roadrunners, Motorcycles and Figure 8’s. Also accompanying
