Suspension bridge opens to great acclaim KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
A
s the sun shone down, casting a glow off several pairs of golden scissors, it was the moment they – and many in the community – had all been waiting for. The official opening of the suspension bridge above Elk Falls Canyon. Representatives from BC Parks, BC Hydro, Campbell River Rotary Club, local government and the B.C. government, took part in the proverbial ribbon cutting ceremony Friday morning to mark the opening of the bridge, which was then opened to the public Saturday morning. Mary Polak, the B.C. Minister of the Environment, and Jessica McDonald, president and CEO of BC Hydro, led the first group across the 60-metre high and 64-metre long suspension bridge. While Polak was impressed with the bridge and the view of Elk Falls, she was most thankful for the accessibility of the trail down to one of two new viewing platforms. “My mother was a paraplegic and when I grew up we very much liked outdoor experiences but nine times out of 10 we would get somewhere and dad would have to take us to the more interesting places while mom sat in the car because you just couldn’t go there,” Polak said. “To see a place like this, that has been designed with that in mind, so that people who have mobility challenges can still enjoy the natural beauty you have here, I just want to

City trying to save time in getting new drinking water system up and running Council has given city staff the go ahead to negotiate the second phase of a new drinking water system with the contractors that are already working on the first phase. The city has to have the new system in place by the end of 2017 as BC Hydro will be cutting off the city’s water supply in January of 2018. Hydro is removing the three penstocks that currently deliver the city’s drinking water from John Hart Lake as part of its John Hart Generating Station replacement project. At Monday night’s council meeting, council agreed to allow staff to negotiate and execute contract extensions with Northwest Pipe Company and Upland Excavating. Northwest supplied a steel water pipe for phase one of the drinking water project while Upland is performing the construction work which is ongoing along Highway 28. Council, at its Committee of the Whole meting on April 22, endorsed using a pump station concept for phase two of the drinking water project which
slated to get underway in the spring of 2016. The city’s new drinking water system will have a new intake and pump chamber at John
involves installation of a new watermain of the same type and construction methodology as that already being installed in phase one. Jason Hartley, the city’s capital works manager, said that extending and continuing on with both contractors’ contracts will allow the city to save time and on mobilization costs since the crews are already in place. He added that the unit price currently in effect and in the existing contracts will form the basis of negotiation. “ T h e Mu n i c i p a l Water Supply Infrastructure Construction and Funding Agreement with BC Hydro requires that all of the work associated with the city’s new water supply project be complete and fully operational by the end of 2017,” Hartley wrote in a report to council. “As such, the project team is continually evaluating project progress and identifying any areas of potential opportunity both in terms of cost and time savings.” Work on phase one is anticipated to be complete by this August while the balance of phase two, which involves a new intake and pump chamber, is

better view of the falls. “In 2009 the Rotary Club of Campbell River was up walking through the park, looking for potential viewing areas to showcase Elk Falls and the canyon,” Bewza said. “When we looked at the canyon we all agreed we had to build a suspension bridge and that was met with some ‘really?’ but we worked on that and had many discussions and we proposed it to our club and they voted on making this our major project.” Bewza said Rotary’s contributions are largely thanks to the community of Campbell River, as is stated on a plaque mounted to a rock on the trail leading to the bridge. “The plaque states ‘This world-class suspension bridge and viewing platforms are the result of the incredible work of Rotarians, assisted by BC Parks and BC Hydro and the never-ending support and generous donations of the people of Campbell River to the annual Rotary TV Auction,’” Bewza said. “Without that, we wouldn’t have the funding.” The project was made possible by $124,500 in funding from Campbell River Rotary Club, a federal government grant of $86,650, $325,000 from the Island Coastal Economic Trust, as well as $150,000 from BC Hydro which also shared its environmental and geo-technical reports with Rotary.

J.R. RARDON CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
As much a repository of culture and art as it is a space for conducting local governance, the new Campbell River Indian Band office was opened Monday with a traditional blessing, songs and a tour. “Going back, the first administration building in the 1970s and 80s was 700 square feet,” Chief Bob Pollard said following songs and dances performed by the Laich-kwil-tach Cultural Group. “O u r a c c ou nt i ng department is bigger than the whole staff was then. Our next building was 4,000 square feet, and we’ve outgrown that now.” The new building, constructed on band territory between the Island Highway and 16th Avenue, is a twostorey monument to a culture bridging the past and future. Built by Ketza Pacific, it features cedar postand-beam construction as well as plenty

The thunderbird is the main crest of our people here amongst the Laichkwil-tach tribe. You saw, when we blessed the building here, we used eagle down. It represents peace amongst all our people, blessings and a good future for the building.” Other cultural art pieces, largely designed

Enjoy the new arrival Well, what a glorious weekend to welcome the newest addition to Campbell River’s many attractions. People were out in force on Saturday and Sunday trying out the new Elk Falls Suspension Bridge and at first glance it appears to be a huge success. Congratulations to the Rotarians who spearheaded this project and thanks also to the corporate and community funding organizations that helped make it happen. The bridge represents a can-do attitude that welcomes ideas, innovation and courage – and we’re not just talking about those with the nerve to cross the dizzying expanse the bridge spans. It will stand us in good stead if we keep this attitude in mind as we go forward into the future. This facility will bring a great deal of enjoyment to not only visitors but residents as well. Campbell River is a community of walkers and the suspension bridge gives us a chance to walk on air and view one of our most beautiful locations – from above. Once again, congratulations and thank-you to those who made it happen. And enjoy, Campbell River.
Letters ● Was there no alternative to clearcutting Echo Lake? After an absence of about a year, last week I returned to Echo Lake, a local lake about 10 minutes drive southwest of town. Echo Lake is known and listed as a lake that supports cutthroat and rainbow trout, and is a popular destination for anglers, including myself. Its small size, its relative seclusion and its natural beauty are a blessing to campers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Imagine my shock and horror when I returned, expecting to find the familiar Echo Lake I knew, and finding the entire circumference of the lake logged. Those who are familiar with the lake know that the Gold River highway runs parallel to the lake for a stretch, and this remains nearly the only section of the area that hasn’t been clearcut. This logging extends far up the hillside that borders the lake and will likely provide fertile ground for erosion in the future. Deviating from standard ecological practice, the logging company has cleared right up to the shoreline in many places, leaving a margin of one or two trees. I come from a family that has been supported through many different types of natural-resource based occupations, including the logging industry. I recognize the importance of the industry, and its contribution to the B.C. economy. However, the management of the resources of Echo Lake was shortsighted and irresponsible. Was there really no other alternative? Was a clearcut necessary in such close proximity to a fish bearing lake readily used by so many? Perhaps these are some of the questions that should have been asked beforehand. Ben Louter Campbell River

Partnerships sure, not investment Last week, Campbell River’s board of education learned that the community’s children have taken it upon themselves to eradicate invasive species and create a welcoming garden space along the Willow Creek greenbelt. We can imagine what proud local parents must be thinking: “Oh, yeah? Then why can’t I get Bobby and Suzie to mow the lawn or even pull a weed now and then.” Patience, folks. That day may well be coming. While the big picture of education in B.C. remains murky, the intimate snapshots we’re seeing in lessons like Southgate Middle School’s Millenium Park project show educators and students alike are embracing and thriving in an interest-based learning model.

man that his school would be seeking more private-sector “investment” in the coming years due to similar cuts in public funding. And a recent feel-good story from Discovery Passage Elementary, thanking community donors for providing learning tools and equipment, masked the fact that the schools simply do not have budgets to purchase that equipment themselves. It is ultimately our choice as parents, citizens and taxpayers where we want to prioritize the limited pool of public funds to which we contribute. Partnerships, like the example of Greenways, are one thing. But the drawback to relying on private investment is that many investors who have funds to spare expect a return on those dollars. Let’s ensure students continue to do their work for the public good as a labour of love, and not as child labour.

Campbell River a model community for Hydro ALISTAIR TAYLOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
As BC Hydro embarks on a period of facility construction and upgrading that will encounter controversy and opposition, CEO Jessica McDonald held up Campbell River as a shining example of a community where partnership works. “The reality, of course, is we don’t always have this level of support for our projects,” McDonald said at a Campbell River Chamber of Commerce luncheon at the Maritime Heritage Centre on Friday. McDonald praised Campbell River, a community where the public utility is spending a billion dollars to upgrade generating facilities. “In many ways, Campbell River is one of BC Hydro’s most strategic communities in the province, given our operational presence here…but also the partnerships and the trust and the willingness to work together,” McDonald said.
Campbell River is playing a large part in BC Hydro’s current phase of facility expansion that is highlighted by the controversial $8.3 billion Site C dam, the third on the Peace River in northeastern B.C. “Here in Campbell River you are playing a very large role in this build era,” McDonald said. “We’re replacing the John Hart Generating Station built almost 70 years ago. “It’s not just a critical source of power for Vancouver Island, the reservoir is a source of drinking water for your city and it is surrounded by the Elk Falls Provincial Park and this is the heart of one of the most valued salmon fish habitats in the world.” McDonald said replacing the John Hart Generating Station “is a really neat project.” The new facility will be built underground and the bypass facility will be carved out of the rock. BC Hydro will also be improving the “seismic withstand” capability of the John Hart and
Strathcona dams and will be replacing the Campbell River substation. All of this reflects BC Hydro’s modern approach to building facilities in which it strives to mitigate the impact of projects through study and consultation, McDonald said, particularly with First Nations communities. “I believe the partnerships we have built with the Campbell River community are a great example of how our approach to projects has changed for the better,” McDonald said. Consultation on the John Hart project began in 2007 with the Campbell River community and seven First Nations and two treaty societies. “ There have been 300 meetings with First Nations and various stakeholders that listened to and addressed concerns and tried to identify opportunities,” McDonald said. She cited the agreement to turn over the rock removed from the Salmon River diversion

Advisory Planning and Environment Commission members announced Campbell River City Council has appointed five members to fill terms that had expired on the Advisory Planning and Environment Commission (APEC). Stacey Larsen and Steve Woods were reappointed, and John Andres, Brett Giese and Christine Petrovcic join the commission for their first term. The APEC provides policy advice and recommendations to Council, on various issues related to long range planning (Official Community Plan), land use and development planning, permitting and development application processes, transportation planning and environmental and sustainability issues. “Council is pleased to fill these positions with dedicated volunteers, and we look forward to continued advice and recommendations of commission members to help us build an even better Campbell River,” says Mayor Andy Adams.

the Elk Falls Suspension Bridge which BC Hydro contributed to and which opened over the weekend. McDonald was among the dignitaries who got a sneak preview of the bridge on Friday, prior to Saturday’s public
opening. McDonald seemed to address the potential for conflict over the Site C dam in northeastern B.C. and other projects when comparing the reception BC Hydro’s work has received from the Campbell River area. Social awareness is required in these projects but there also needs to be some acceptance on the part of the public. “It’s easy to advocate for special interests and say no,” McDonald said. There are few who will step forward and work with the proponent to figure out how something can work for the community. It’s an issue of developing social licence, getting public permission to do what works for the benefit of the economy and society. As we reconcile competing interests, not everyone can be accommodated, McDonald said. “But when we can develop very strong partnerships like we have in Campbell River we can try to find the very best solutions,” she said.

It can occur at any age and can last up to 2 years if untreated. Golfer’s elbow is caused by damaged muscle tissue at the Jamie Moore elbow. It occurs when more force is applied to an area than the normal healthy tissues can handle. Also, it is more likely to occur in weak or unhealthy muscle, leading to swelling and pain. In addition elbow pain can result from neck problems. It is important to have your neck and elbow assessed by a physiotherapist to confirm or exclude any neck dysfunction. Studies have shown physiotherapy to be an effective way of managing golfer’s elbow. Call us today FORE an appointment.

Fish farm ruling slaps minister on the wrist
www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com
ALISTAIR TAYLOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
A licence issued to a fish farming company by the federal Fisheries minister contained two conditions that contravened Fisheries regulations, a Federal court judge ruled. On May 6, Judge Donald J. Rennie ruled in favour of anti-fish farming activist Alexandra Morton who challenged a licence issued to Marine Harvest Inc. to transport fish known to have the piscine reovirus (PRV) from the Dalrymple Hatchery to a net pen in Shelter Bay. Justice Rennie concluded that a licence issued by the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans on Feb. 28, 2013 to Marine
Alexandra Morton
Harvest included two conditions that are inconsistent with regulations in section 56 of the Fishery (General) Regulations (FGR). He declared the conditions “invalid and to have no force and effect.” The judge suspended the ruling for four months.
The ruling means the minister can’t issue licences with conditions that contravene overriding legislation and that the ministry did so in this case. He also ruled that the minister can’t delegate the decision on whether the fish were diseased or not to the company. “Licences cannot be issued that do not conform to the legislation, and the Minister cannot improperly delegate his responsibilities under the FGRs for the protection and conservation of the fishery,” Justice Rennie says in his ruling. Morton and her organization Ecojustice brought the lawsuit forward to declare the offending conditions invalid and remove them
from the licence. She wasn’t seeking the complete invalidation of the licence. “I agree that a limited remedy is in the public interest,” Justice Rennie says. As many as 120 licences, due to expire at the end of 2015, could have been affected by striking down the conditions. There could be implications for existing aquaculture operations, including fish recently transferred to the marine environment, the judge says. Morton had argued for a short suspension of judgement, as further delay increases the risk to conservation and the protection of fish. Morton notes that it is during the spring and fall migrations of salmon
North Island College students vote overwhelmingly for health and dental benefits Starting this September, students at North Island College will join the tens of thousands of BC’s post-secondary students enjoying the benefits of full health and dental coverage. With the help of their North Island Students’ Union (NISU), students voted 97% in favour of providing themselves comprehensive health and dental benefits in a vote held in March. The plan is the first time NIC students will have access to a benefits plan in the college’s 40-year history. “Students kept asking us why our Students’ Union was only one of a handful in the province that wasn’t providing these benefits to students,” said Jamie Lund, North Island Students’ Union board member. “Once we surveyed over 500 students, we were blown away by how many needed health and dental benefits, and how important the service was to our members.”

Student health and dental benefit plans have become commonplace at universities and colleges across Canada. Virtually all public institutions in BC feature the service and costs range from just under $200 per year to upwards of $500 for twelve months of coverage. The benefits plan at NIC will be provided through the Canadian Federation of Students’
National Student Health Network, a national consortium of more than 35 students’ unions collectively purchasing health and dental benefits from Green Shield Canada, a national not-for-profit benefits provider. “These plans are great value for money and ours will be totally notfor-profit. By working with our national and provincial students’ union, we were able to
get an excellent set of benefits for less than $23 per month,” said Lund. All NIC students registering next week in full-time classes, or in a program six months or longer will be enrolled in the plan. As is common with student health and dental plans, those who are already covered through a parent or spouse can opt out of the plan provided by the Students’ Union.

that increases proximity between farmed and wild salmon. But the judge decided that there are rules in place to govern the transfer of fish and that his ruling does not suspend all the legislation governing fish transfers, therefore, four months suspension of his ruling is sufficient. Morton is declaring the ruling a victory. She says DFO abdicated its legal responsibility to protect and conserve wild fish by handing off decisions about transferring fish with diseases to the salmon farming industry. Morton says “most BC farmed salmon are infected with piscine reovirus.” “The problem for the BC salmon farming industry is that most of the fish in their pens are
infected with this virus,” Morton says on her website. “It is critical to them to be allowed to use piscine reovirus-infected fish, because they don’t have enough uninfected fish to be profitable. “However, since these infected farm fish are being placed on our wild salmon migration routes by the millions, the potential impact of this virus on wild salmon is critical to Canadians.” The implication is that “the salmon farming industry has to either find disease-free fish or has to stop transferring the diseased farmed salmon into ocean net pens,” Morton says. “What actually happens next is anybody’s guess, hopefully it will not mean that we are not allowed to know if farmed salmon are dis-
eased or not. The Province of BC already considered passing a Bill with this power. How far will our federal and provincial governments go to protect this industry instead of Canadians? We have a ringside seat.” In the ring, meanwhile, is Marine Harvest Inc. which said that in the judge’s ruling, “There was no evidence that Marine Harvest transferred unhealthy fish.” “The company notes that the decision removes two sub-conditions of the aquaculture license that were not relied upon for the company’s day to day business,” a Marine Harvest statement says. “Further, the decision confirms authorization by the Minister for the ongoing transfer of farm-raised salmon between facilities in B.C.”

SD72 approves capital budget that allows for repairs J.R. RARDON CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The School District 72 Board unanimously approved a capital budget project bylaw that will allow the district to access up to $1.07 million for maintenance and
repairs next school year. In the vote taken during its May 5 regular meeting, the board gave three readings to the bylaw, a Ministry of Education-mandated step instituted with a change in the funding distribution model.
“As we receive our annual facilities grant from the Ministry of Education, they’ve split it,” treasurer Kevin Patrick told the board. “It used to be more of an operating style grant they provided to us from a trust fund. They now
require a certificate of approval to the money from the treasury, and to get access to that, they require a board bylaw.” The Ministry’s total Annual Facility Grant for 2015-16 is $121.386 million. Of that, $25.196 million continues to flow
from the operating budget and the remaining $96.190 million comes from the goverment’s capital funding allocation. In addition to the $1.07 million, Campbell River School District may draw from the capital fund, it will receive
$141,171 from the operating portion of the budget in a one-time installation in July. Trustees voted first to allow all three required readings of the bylaw at one sitting, then pass each of those readings to establish Capital Bylaw
No. 126879. The funding covers maintenance and repair of capital infrastructure. An expenditure plans for all projects must be submitted to the Ministry in advance, and projects must be completed by

City considers expanding grant program to help more non-profit community groups KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
City council is looking at expanding the city’s grant-in-aid program to deal with an increasing number of funding requests from community groups. The Community Partnership Committee, which is tasked with accepting or denying funding requests from arts and culture groups in order to deliver services or put on major events, has been inundated with applications in the last couple of years.
Barry Watchorn, chair of the Community Partnership Committee, said the city is unfortunately not in a position to accommodate all of the groups that ask for money. “The committee has received an increasing number of grant applications from social service organizations which have lost senior government funding,” Watchorn said. “If the city were to begin funding these organizations it could well be flooded with applications which could impact its ability

“
Council also asked staff to prepare a report on expanding the Community Partnership Committee or establishing a separate committee to review and grant applications to organizations or groups that benefit the overall health and social wellbeing of the community. This year, a total of 15 community groups received grants-in-aid from the city. Those grants totalled $552,264 which was an increase of more than $25,000 over what was given out in 2014 to 17
groups. T h e C o m mu n i t y Partnership Committee received grant requests for this year totalling $609,177 which exceeded the city’s budget by $5,428. The committee was forced to deny funding to: the Campbellton Neighbourhood Association ($1,500 for a sign), Volunteer Campbell River ($35,000), Storey Creek Golf and Recreation Society ($782), Campbell River Army Cadets ($1,000), Campbell River Air Cadets ($2,531), Royal Canadian Sea Cadets
($5,000), and D.A.R.E. B.C. ($1,700). Groups can be denied funding for a number of reasons, including if they do not fit the criteria of being not-forprofit, based in Campbell River, or open to the greatest number of residents possible. Grant requests may also be declined for events that already receive funding from other levels of government or a government agenc y. Applicants must also have more than 50 per cent of their required funding coming from other sources.

May 2, marked the launch of this year’s Give a Toonie. Share a Dream. campaign, running to May 24 in Staples stores across Canada. The campaign raises funds and awareness for Special Olympics and its programs throughout Canada, which help transform the lives of children, youth and adults with intellectual disabilities through the power and joy of sport. Customers will be able donate in stores and online when shopping at http://staples.ca/ shareadream. Campbell River athletes and volunteers will be visiting their local Staples store at scheduled times during the campaign to support the fundraising efforts and share their stories. In 2014, the Campbell River Staples ranked first in their district and Western Region, and second nationally for funds raised with $8,005. Funds raised throughout the campaign will help to deliver Special Olympics daily sport programs to individuals with intellectual disabilities in communities across Canada. “We’re proud to continue to support Special Olympics Canada. For the past 15 years, raising awareness for this important movement has been a vital part of who we are as a company,” said Steve Matyas, president of Staples Canada. This year’s campaign aims to exceed last year’s fundraising total of $630,000 with the goal to help even more Special Olympics athletes across Canada achieve their full potential through the transformative power of sport.

World Relief Fair focuses on Ukraine
Rock show
These beautiful rocks are naturally eroded limestone. This one was discovered by a member of Ripple Rock Gem and Mineral Club on Texada Island. These stones can be found in mountain streams, on windblown deserts and along ocean shores. They are often used in the Japanese art of Suiseki which is the study and enjoyment of naturally formed stones as objects of beauty. In Bonsai, they are chosen to represent a part of a scene in nature. Along with these unique works of nature, there will be many other rocks and stones on display at the Ripple Rock Annual Gem and Mineral Show on June 13 and 14 in the Timberline Gym.
Literacy Association AGM and potluck closing the book on a successful year The CR Literacy Association is celebrating another successful year by hosting an End of Year Potluck and Annual General Meeting. Join them on June 8 at 6:30 p.m. at the Robron Center located at 740 Robron Rd. and help recognize the achievements of their learners and volunteers. “It is important to recognize that knowing how to read and write impacts our everyday life. Nearly half of all Canadians struggle with some part of Literacy. When some of our learners come to us, they are not able to read such things as bus schedules, street signs or many other things that we take for granted,” said Sherry Bujold, Adult Literacy Program Coordinator. The CR Literacy Association has five programs: the Adult Literacy Program, Youth ESL, Outreach Computer Literacy Program, Aboriginal Family Literacy, and Family Literacy. To date in the 20142015 school year the a s s o c i at i on h e lp e d approximately 177 learners with the assistance of
71 volunteer tutors. They rely tremendously on community volunteers to assist with learners meeting their literacy goals. CR Literacy tailors its programming to focus on the goals and needs of each learner. This learner centered approach is supported by volunteer tutors and is provided at no cost to
the learner. If you or someone you know might be interested in getting help with reading, writing, math or pronunciation, please call 250-923-1275 or email info@literacyforall.ca They are looking for new board members and volunteers, if you are interested in either, contact them for more
information. To find out more about the Campbell River Literacy Association’s services, visit www.literacyforall.ca, check them out on Facebook at Campbell River Literacy Association or drop by the office Monday - Thursday at A121A – 740 Robron Road, Campbell River between 8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.

Ukrainian Mennonites are a group of Mennonites of German language, tradition and ethnicity, who are descents from German-Dutch Anabaptists who settled for about 250 years in West Prussia and established colonies in the southwest of the Russian Empire (present-day Ukraine) beginning in 1789. Since the late 19th century, many of them have come to communities throughout the Western Hemisphere including Black Creek. This year people with Mennonite heritage and supporters throughout the community are volunteering in a Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) World Relief Fair Saturday, May 23 to raise funds for the current situation in the Ukraine. The Ukrainian state emergency services is reporting that over one million people in Ukraine have been displaced within the country because of violence and conflict. A further 640,000 have fled to neighbouring countries. Since April of 2014, more than 5,617 people have died in the conflict in eastern Ukraine. In light of this, MCC is significantly increasing its support to people in Ukraine. MCC is currently providing emergency food baskets for displaced families from Crimea and food, shel-
ter and other assistance for families in Zaporizhzhia and Nikopol. Your participation in the fair will help MCC provide: n Food support for children from an orphanage in eastern Ukraine, who have been displaced to Kiev by the conflict. n Shelter assistance and heating fuel for displaced people in the Zhytomyr region. n Additional food assistance, as well as heating fuel and shelter assistance for displaced families in the Zaporizhzhia region. n Food assistance and shelter support for displaced people in the city of Nikopol in the Dnipropetrovsk region. The Relief Fair is located at the Black Creek Community Hall and begins May 23 at 8 a.m. with a pancake breakfast. Other food booths and a huge rummage tent open at 9 a.m. Expect to see kids activities, plant and bake sales and a silent and live auction. All of the proceeds of this fair are going to help the people of Ukraine.

Macpherson tour makes local stop Gallery Steph Macpherson is touring Vancouver Island this May with budding Victoria duo, Hart + Stone, who will be opening the show as well as supporting Macpherson during her set with complimentary harmonies and tasteful guitar accents. They will be playing in Campbell River at the Solstice Studio tomorrow evening. Macpherson was raised on Vancouver Island and has had a plethora of successes over the past few years. She has shared the stage with the likes of Sarah McLachlan, Sheryl Crow, Colbie Caillat, and Hannah Georgas to name but a few. She has released an E.P. as well as a full-length album in 2012 called Bells & Whistles, which garnered attention from Colin Linden of Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, who happened to hear her song playing on the
radio in Nashville. He called Macpherson and invited her to record her next album at his studio in Nashville and she jumped at the opportunity. Macpherson will be playing a majority of her songs off the new album on this tour in anticipation of the album’s release in the coming months. Hart + Stone, a newly formed duo from Victoria, has been turning heads and perking up ears since they hit the Victoria music scene eight months ago. Drawing from the folk, roots, and blues genres, Hart + Stone aim to bring back the appreciation of a song well written, well played, and well sang. This musical duo consists of songwriters, Ellisa Hartman and Dylan Stone. They’ve recently released a new single called Ashes, which they recorded with their full band. Ashes is
available as a free download at all of their shows in support of their campaign to win a $10,000 grant from Telus to record a westernstyled music video for the song. Opening the evening will be Campbell River native, Noah Edwards. Blending high-energy rock and roll with elements of folk, post-rock soundscapes and intricate jazz melodies, he looks to bring a new energy to West Coast inspired Folk music. Thursday evening’s show at The Solstice at 151 Dogwood St. begins with doors opening at 7:30 p.m. Admission is $10 advance at The Travel Place at 948 Island Hwy. and $13 at the door. For more information, visit www.facebook.com/ HartAndStoneMusic or www.hartandstonemusic. com.

Artists of all ages who would like to create and trade miniature works of art are invited to attend the next Artist Trading Card event at the Campbell River Art Gallery, Thursday, May 21 at 7 p.m. This is a fun, social and creative program that meets four times a year to swap trading cards. The only difference between these and sports trading cards is that you create your own homemade 2 ½ x 3 ½ inch trading card like a miniature work of art. Please bring 15-20 art cards to trade. New faces are always welcome! Just come and bring a friend if you like. Cards should be 2.5 inches x 3.5 inches exactly so they fit in the sleeves that are used for saving baseball cards. The theme is open. Bring original cards, not photocopies. The cards are miniature works of art and are meant to be traded, not bought or sold. Your cards can be painted, collages, mixed media, photographs, three dimensional shapes, or found objects. It’s up to you where your creativity leads you. Sign the back as you would any art work and add your contact information if you wish The Gallery is located at 1235 Shoppers Row (the same building as the Visitor Info Centre). For more info call 250-2872261 or email contact@crartgallery.ca.

Community Band slates Spring Concert
Victoria’s Crikey Mor will play a house concert in Merville May 23.
Crikey! A concert Gardeners Green Folk Club in Merville invites all music fans to its latest house concert on May 23, featuring Victoria-based Crikey Mor. These five musicians and singers specialize in high-energy Irish music, but also very sweet and harmonic ballads and songs. Tickets are $20 ($10 for kids) and must be purchased in advance. For tickets or more info, call 250-337-5337.
The Campbell River Community Band is gearing up for its annual spring concert on May 24, but this time a new conductor, Kolya Kowalchuk, will be at the helm. Founding conductor Céline Ouellette is taking some time off to rejoin the horn section, while Kolya Kowalchuk is exchanging his drum sticks for a baton. The new director played in the community band during his high school years, and again after his return from Montreal where he got degrees in music education and composition from McGill. He now teaches music at Ecole Phoenix Middle School. For the 2 p.m. concert Kolya has chosen the theme “A Day in the Life of Spring”. The program will take the audience from dawn to dusk with a variety of interesting music celebrating the season. Singers will recognize two of the numbers. Sure on This Shining Night is a band arrangement of a haunting song by Samuel Barber. Eric Whitacre’s
Conductor Kolya Kowalchuk, right, leads the Campbell River Community Band in a rehearsal for next week’s annual Spring Concert at Carihi.
choral classic, Sleep, has been arranged for concert band by the composer. With its shimmering dissonances it’s been both challenging and rewarding for the band. Several band members will be featured soloists
for this spring concert. Ted Milbrandt, a founding member of the band, will be featured in Nocturne, an arrangement of a Tchaikovsky classic. Relative newcomer Kayla Izon will be the soloist in the lively Latin Sun by
André Jutras. Roger Kirk, anchor of the trumpet section, and Natalia Matheson, on tenor sax, lend their jazz talents to Paul Desmond’s Take Five. A highlight of the concert will surely be Brian Balmages’ Elements (Petite
Symphony) a suite of four movements: Air, Water, Earth and Fire. The band loves the four varied movements and so should the audience. There’s always a march at a band concert, and this one finishes up with the very unusual Burst of Flame by Richard Bowles, the late music director at the University of Florida. As usual at the Community Band’s Sunday afternoon concerts, refreshments prepared by band members will be served. The concert will be about an hour long, and children are welcome. The Campbell River Community Band has been together for nineteen years, mostly under the baton of founding director Céline Ouellette. The band rehearses once a week from September to May. Tickets are available at the door. The cost is $5, or $12 for a family. The concert will be held in the multi-purpose room of Carihi Secondary School. The entry is off the lower parking lot.

3 Annual Defeat Depression Walk
The starter’s gun was fired on the first official Vancouver Island track meet of the 2015 season – the Bob Dailey Memorial Track and Field meet – on May 2-3 in Port Alberni. The Campbell River Comets Track and Field Club had 26 athletes attend the competition. For 12 of these Comets, ranging from the age of 9 to 40+, it was their very first track meet. The Comet “newbies” included: Kaien Eidsvik (9), Laure Minfray (9), Ushwya Brennan (10), Kate-Lynn Revoy (10), Lacie Simmons (10), Rowen Berkey (11), Emily Milne (12), Abigay le Underhi l l (12), Joelle Gilkin (15), Luca Mastrangelo (16), Tamara Takach (17) and Jim Brennan (40+). It was a successful first showing for the Comets this year. This was evident not only with the multitude of Personal Bests
achieved, but also by the smiles on all the faces. This meet was run as a “sticker meet”, meaning that there is no preregistration needed for the events. This enables the participants an opportunity to choose which events or races to enter as the meet progresses. Many athletes, both veterans and newbies alike, find this type of meet less stressful and an easier way to try their hand at new events. Given that there are so many different disciplines within the umbrella of track and field, there is something
for everyone, whether they be a sprinter, long distance runner, jumper or thrower. The track community, in general, is very supportive. Although it can take years to develop the technique and skill required to reach highly competitive levels, the coaches, officials, athletes and parents are always happy to lend a hand or offer encouragement. Jim Brennan (Masters), who had a very impressive first meet, helps remind us that it is never too late to start, and that track and field is no exception.
