Historic low levels forecast for Campbell system Impact on fish habitat, recreation targets feared Facing a historic shortage of water, BC Hydro is looking forward to a summer of juggling fish habitat flows in Campbell River with recreational use in the reservoir above John Hart dam. And it may not be able to satisfy either of them. “The reality is, unless we get significant rainfall from storms in the next few months, the preferred fish and recreation targets can’t be achieved,” said Stephen Watson, BC Hydro spokesman. “We’ve never seen such a low water supply forecast for May to September.” BC Hydro’s water use plan provides clear direction on flow regimes, and prescribed corrective action zones when water abundance gets low to try to balance the water conditions across the system, Watson said. But falling water flows resulting from low snowpack and dry weather are combining to aggravate those challenges. It is the second straight year with low water inflows into the Campbell River system, following consecutive winters that left precious little snowpack in the mountains.

The walk, part of a series taking place throughout the province this week, was sponsored by the Campbell River and District Division of Family Practice. A second Campbell River Walk with your Doc, sponsored by the staff of Alder Medical, was held Wednesday afternoon at Frank
James Park in Willow Point. Dr. Dieter DeBruin of Alder Medical partnered with CBI Rehabilitation in Motion in the event, and physiotherapist Tanya Kessling led a pre-walk warmup. Free pedometers were handed out to each participant at both walks. Walk with your Doc is a prov-
incewide initiative developed by Doctors of BC. The event was designed to provide an opportunity for doctors to connect with groups of patients while walking side-by-side and demonstrating their commitment to supporting patients in leading healthy lifestyles.

Water levels: Supply forecast in ‘uncharted territory’ Continued from Pg. 1
BC Hydro’s updated February to September water supply forecast, now into May, shows inflows into the system are forecast to be about 79 per cent of normal. This forecast considers snow pack, precipitation, and historical water inflows from the last 50 years. Depending on seasonal weather conditions, the variance in this inflow is typically plus or minus five per cent. “However, the key indicator is the residual water supply forecast, from May to September, is showing just 40 per cent of normal – this is uncharted territory,” said Watson. “Ultimately, the challenge for BC Hydro will be to balance various water use interests in the system from here onward.” BC Hydro has been operating the John Hart generating station at about twothirds of capacity and this will continue. This flow release of 80 cubic metres per second is lower than the preferred fish habitat target, and it will go lower. At the end of May or early June, the discharges will be dropped to about one-half of capacity and well below target flows to conserve water through into early fall. Campbell River flows will range from about 80 m3/s in May, drop to about 65 m3/s around June 1, and drop again to around 30 m3/s on July 1 through the summer. BC Hydro recently met with government fish agencies to get their agreement to the plan. Ideal fish habitat flows and power generation levels would typically be around 100 m3/s through June, and about 40 m3/s in July. “We had a conference call with Fisheries and Oceans Canada and with (the Ministry of ) Forests, Lands and Natural Resources,” said Watson. “We communicate with
them throughout the year anyway, and wanted to keep them apprised of the conditions.” Above the dam, the Lower Campbell Reservoir/McIvor Lake and the Upper Campbell Reservoir/Buttle Lake may likely be at or near the bottom of the preferred reservoir level targets for the summer recreation season. “Ideal reservoir recreation for Upper Campbell Reservoir is around 219.5 metres,” said Watson. “For this summer, from June through into early September, from what we know now our forecast is the reservoir may cling near the 217-metre level. The preferred summer recreation reservoir range is from 217 m to 220.5 m. Conditions this year may be slightly lower than the very dry conditions in 2014. The reservoir is currently at 217.8 metres.” Watson said that will leave the shoreline less aesthetically pleasing, with more exposed sand and gravel, and could potentially make putting boats in the water more challenging. “They’ll still be able to use the reservoirs,” he said. “We just wanted to give people the headsup that we’re looking at another lower than normal summer.” It has been a tale of

At one snow measurement location at 1,600 metres of elevation, no snow has accumulated since mid-January. T h e Apr i l w at e r inflows into the Campbell River system were low, at 84 per cent of average. For May, given the start to it and the near-term forecast and very low snowpack, the water inflows also look to be very low. The low precipitation the past six weeks is compounded by the record low snowpack conditions. The water inflows are trending near record lows for this time of year at only about 30-40 m3/s. “BC Hydro is trying to provide the right flows for fish for rearing and outmigration with negligible snowpack,” Watson said. “At the same time, we’re trying to provide for recreation. It’s not going to be ideal for either.”

weather extremes for the watershed over the past year, from the fall and winter period with the record-setting storm systems providing heavy rain, to the record low snowpack and potentially very low water abundance conditions through the summer. The upper Campbell River system reservoirs were full at the end of winter, Watson said, but have been trending downward since the storm at the end of March. BC Hydro is now faced this spring and summer with balancing river fish habitat flows and recreation targets in the reservoir, given the snowpack conditions. The snowpack has been trending along near record low levels and in early April, it became the lowest snowpack for this time of year since records started in 1981.

Two families are officially all moved in to their new Habitat for Humanity homes. The duplex at 480 Hilchey Road was turned over to the second family during a ceremony Saturday morning. Debbie Ziolkowski was given the key to her new home which will house herself, her sons Nick, 18, and Matt, 15 as well as daughter Caitlin, 20 whenever she comes home from school. On the other side of the duplex is Carolin Laughington and her teenage daughter Bailee. Laughington moved into her home a couple of weeks ago. But last weekend it was Ziolkowski’s turn to unlock the door to her new home. Several Habitat volunteers who helped build the home turned out for the celebration which was hosted by Ron Freeman, past acting executive director for Habitat and past board chair for Habitat for Humanity. Freeman thanked the countless volunteers and local businesses who helped contribute to the build which cost Habitat around $200,000. “It was a community effort, lots of people have donated time and materials to this and their sweat,” Freeman said. “And that sweat included Deb’s. This is not a free house for her. Everybody thinks that Habitat gives away free houses. We do not. “She had to put in 500 hours of sweat equity, she had to work and she’s still working to finish the house. And as well she now becomes the proud

owner of a mortgage,” Freeman added. “Albeit it’s an interest free mortgage but it is a mortgage she has to pay back based on the fair market value of the home.” Monthly payments towards the loan are based on approximately 30 per cent of gross mont h ly hou s ehol d income. Because the loan must be paid back, those chosen for a Habitat home must have a regular income that is not Employment Insurance or Income Assistance. Successful applicants must also have full custody of at least one child under the age of 18 and there has to be a demonstrable need for adequate shelter. During last Saturday’s move-in ceremony, Ziolkowski and her children were not only presented with the key to their new home but also several symbolic gifts. They were given a loaf of bread so that they always have something in the freezer, as well as a container of salt – the spice of life – so that their lives may always be rich with
flavour. Ziolkowski was also given a pink tool kit to help her maintain the home, as well as a Bible because as Freeman said, “man does not live on bread alone.” Ziolkowski and Laughington’s ne w home becomes the second Habitat for Humanity home in Campbell River. The
first duplex, on Maple Street, was built in 2007 after the city donated the land, then valued at $60,000, to Habitat for Humanity. A third build is in the works as the city agreed last year to donate another site, at 129 Westgate Road, which is valued at $95,200, to Habitat for Humanity.

B.C.’s forest fire season arrives early As a wildfire near Prince George continues to grow and three fire departments successfully extinguish a stubborn brush fire near Lumby on Monday, it’s not difficult to proclaim that the forest fire season has come early this year. That’s why it makes sense for the Kamloops Fire Centre to declare an open fire prohibition beginning Friday, the unofficial start to the summer season and the Victoria Day long weekend. Hot, dry weather has dominated most of B.C. for weeks and the forecast is for more of the same so it only makes sense to exercise extreme caution in the woods this weekend, even though it’s only mid-May on the calendar. The prohibition covers all B.C. Parks and Crown We say: Enjoy lands but does not ban your long campfires of a reasonable size, so please use comweekend but do mon sense and practise so responsibly fire safety procedures at all times. It is a weekend to be enjoyed and celebrated but it must be done responsibly and within the rules that keep all of us, and our forests and wildlife, safe. And the province takes its bans seriously as anyone found in contravention of an open fire prohibition can be issued a $345 ticket or, if convicted in court, be fined up to $100,000 and sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention furthermore contributes to a wildfire, the person can face a further $10,000 penalty and a bill for all firefighting and associated costs. However, all it takes to avoid catastrophe in the forests is a little common sense, a respect for the great outdoors and following the rules of the land, which now includes an open fire prohibition. By all means, enjoy the long weekend wherever you are, but do it responsibly. -Black Press

● Don’t bite the hand that may feed you When I first came to this city my first negative comment about it was made on the premises of a local realty company. I said, when asked if there was anything I noticed that was an irritant, that I thought parking conveniences were sorely lacking. With the exception of shopping centres, parking anywhere else was either occupied or time limited. He volunteered to me that I could park unlimited, for no charge, anytime I wanted in his lot known as Tyee Plaza. I thanked him and migrated to using the Plaza as my Shoppers Row shopping convenience. Strange how quickly things change, I understand that this same owner now wants to charge overnighters from rural and off island locations for the use of his parking lot. My advice to him is to stand back and look at the bigger picture. These same people are customers who frequent the shopping conveniences the Plaza. Ray Fortier Sr. Campbell River

Is the Orange Tsunami headed west? Albertans have always laughed about their longstanding reputation as a reckless, immature society. The classic bumper sticker, now available as a T-shirt or coffee cup in several variations, states: “Please God, give us one more oil boom, we promise not to p--- it away this time.” Now they’ve thrown out the government that finally tried to stop blowing money like a roughneck fresh out of the bush. Jim Prentice had the gall to propose raising income taxes for high wage earners, doing away with former Alberta treasurer Stockwell Day’s signature flat tax. In response, voters have abruptly replaced the 44-year Progressive Conser vative dynasty with an upstart NDP that wants to tax the rich and corporations even more. Facing an oil slump, layoffs and a huge structural deficit in Alberta’s lavish public service, NDP premier-elect Rachel Notley is committed to a 50-per-cent increase in the minimum wage and another “review” of

tions created by NDP policies. This fiction is all Horgan dares to say publicly, because it’s what his party base devoutly believes. Besides, they’re only branch offices of multinational oil companies like Shell, Horgan said. He used his favourite Tommy Douglas quote, about the bad news of a big oil company leaving. “The good news is, the oil is staying here.” B.C.’s natural gas might be staying here too. Horgan insists he supports a natural gas export industry, but his party seems more concerned with an ascending Green Party, and an urban base that believes you can run a resource economy on windmills and solar panels. Notley supports twinning the TransMountain pipeline, while Horgan continues to insist he has no opinion on the project. The Alberta NDP has a steep learning curve ahead. The B.C. NDP has a couple of years to see if the appearance of a likeminded Alberta government is a boost for them, or a cautionary tale for voters. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Even before the Black Plague of 1348, Western civilization had a difficult relationship with nature, traceable to the earliest roots of the Judaeo-Christian tradition. The myt holog ica l eviction of our cultural ancestors from the Garden of Eden in biblical literature was, in all probability, an actual event resulting from the ecological degradation of agricultural lands in the area of ancient Mesopotamia — mythology transforms the details of an event but retains the essence truth. These displaced people then went searching for the “land of milk and honey” they had lost because of their “disobedience”. Their long quest to find the Promised Land took place in an environment much depreciated from that of their ancestors. The productive forests and grasslands of the Near East were now seriously compromised by centuries of unsustainable farming practices: depleted fertility, erosion, salinization and over grazing. The wholesale loss of vegetation subsequently changed

be borne by humanity. And to compensate for the loss of Eden, Christianity offered believers the redemptive promise of salvation. So nature wasn’t considered particularly dangerous. But the magnitude of the social trauma inflicted by the Plague radically altered this perception, burning an indelible fear of nature into the memory of Western culture. The later outbreaks of Plague in the 17th and 18th centuries happened to coincide with the beginnings of modern science, entrenching in this new discipline the notion that a dangerous and hostile nature must be understood, controlled and subdued in the service of human aspirations and security. Ever since, science and its application in technology have been busily engaged in this task — with disastrous environmental consequences. We are now trying to replace this dysfunctional mythos with a more s ophist icate d ecological one, but our deeply-rooted apprehension about nature is extremely difficult to dislodge and reshape.

SRD to consider road trip meetings KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Strathcona Regional District directors are considering taking their board meetings on the road. The concept of combining board meetings with road trips to various communities within the regional district was first discussed at the April 23 municipal directors meeting. “The discussion at the committee suggested that holding board meetings throughout the region could have a number of beneficial spin-offs and should be considered as a regular feature of the meeting calendar, perhaps on a semi-annual basis,” wrote Tom Yates, corporate services manager of the regional district, in a report to the board. The initiative was brought forward to the entire regional district
board at its Wednesday meeting and directors voted to have staff bring back a report on the costs and logistics associated with holding regional board meetings in locations throughout the region. Meetings are currently held once every two weeks in Campbell River, at the regional district offices on Cedar Street. W h i l e C a mp b e l l River is the largest community within the Strathcona Regional District, the municipalities of Gold River, Tahsis, Zeballos, and Sayward, as well as electoral Area A (Kyuquot/ Nootka-Sayward), Area B (Cortes Island), Area C (Quadra and Discovery Islands), and Area D (Oyster Bay-Buttle Lake) also lie within the regional district. If the board does decide to go ahead with
the road trip concept, some of those communities may take turns hosting a regional district meeting. Area B Director Noba Anderson said she was “in full support” of having staff look into the feasibility of holding board meetings in different locations and said she recalled having a similar idea identified as a board strategic priority several years ago. While the board will wait until staff come back with a feasibility report before making a decision, Yates was able to tell directors that there are a number of factors that need to be taken into consideration. “From an administrative perspective, there are a number of financial and logistical considerations associated with the concept, including travel
arrangements for directors and staff, access to electronic agendas, and the remoteness of some communities,” Yates wrote. Staff ’s report to the board will include a detailed analysis of those issues which directors will be able to take into consideration before making a final decision.

Council hesitant to support universal child care KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
City council backed off Monday on endorsing a plan to reduce daycare fees to $10 per day despite one councillor urging the others to support the initiative. Coun. Larry Samson acknowledged that Island Health’s Chief Medical Officer Charmaine Enns and Dr. Tanya Flood from Success by 6 have both told council that Campbell River children rate lower for standards of reading and writing compared to their coun-
terparts in the rest of the province. And he said that both Enns and Flood have said that the $10 a day daycare plan would make a difference. “I hope the rest of council supports this,” Samson said. “There is no greater asset than our children for our future and now. It’s an investment now for our future and it’s an investment for our children’s future.” Coun. Michele Babchuk put forward a motion that council endorse the plan, which is supported by 40 other regional districts
and local governments, and Campbell River’s School District 72. Under the plan, funding for daycare would fall under the provincial Ministry of Education and would be subsidized by the province, allowing for affordable daycare – $10 a day for full-time care, $7 a day for children attending daycare part-time and free for families with annual incomes below $40,000. Dee McPhee from the Campbell River Early Care and Learning Coalition, said the plan would help eliminate child poverty; in Campbell River
22.8 per cent of children live in poverty compared to the provincial average of 18.6 per cent. “Child care is expensive,” McPhee told council in her presentation Monday night. “Child care fees are often a family’s highest expense after their mortgage. Child care can cost more than a child’s postsecondary education and there are no RESP’s for child care.” In Campbell River, on average, daycare costs $987 per month for toddlers and $735 per month for 3-to-5-year-olds. But under the plan, the

province would subsidize child care costs which would increase a family’s disposable income, have early childcare educators work alongside kindergarten teachers, and raise the wages of child care workers. “The plan invests in the ECE (Early Childcare Educators) workforce by supporting all educators to have a two-year diploma,” McPhee said. “And the historical low wages in the field would increase to $25 an hour, along with improved benefits.” But not everyone on council was ready to endorse the plan. Coun. Marlene Wright wondered how much it would cost to implement and where the money would come from. Advocates of the plan project it would cost the province roughly $88 million a year to implement the program for children under three and $1.5 billion a year
to include all children under six. Advocates say that because more parents would be able to go to work, the cost would be offset by an increase in taxes going to the province on the additional income being spent. But Wright wasn’t too sure. “From what I’m hearing I don’t see how it wouldn’t impact taxation because it is a subsidy, it has to come from somewhere, someone has to pay for it,” Wright said. “I think we need to do it, but it seems to have a lot of open ceilings.” Babchuk said while it sounds like a lot, it’s about creating priorities. “What this coalition is trying to do is create a priority with the provincial government to say that this is an issue in our community,” Babchuk said. “This is a gap in our system.” Coun. Colleen Evans was also supportive of the
plan. “This is so important for our community,” Evans said. “I believe not only for our children but for mothers and fathers of those children to allow them to be able to enter the workforce and I just think this is a win-win as an investment in our community.” But council in the end chose to defer making a decision on endorsing the $10 a day plan until its next council meeting which is May 25. Councillors Samson and Babchuk were opposed. Mayor Andy Adams said there were just too many unknowns to make a decision Monday night. “I would like more time to go through it and do some due diligence,” Adams said. “I’m concerned I’ve only seen this report in the last 48 hours. I’m concerned about the unintended consequences of a wellintentioned program.”

Mailbox sites have been chosen KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Campbell Riverites can expect to get a letter any day now advising them of where their new community mailbox will be located, according to Canada Post. Gilles Chagnon, relations manager for Canada Post, sent an email to the city on Monday saying that households will soon receive a letter with community mailbox location information, as well as instructions on how to access an online map showing the location of the mailbox. “Customers should very soon be receiving a letter which will provide them with the location of the community mailbox that will serve their household,” Chagnon wrote. “Customers should begin receiving the letter over the next few days.” The letter, which will be mailed to the 8,543 Campbell River households who still receive home delivery, says that the community mailbox locations were determined through careful planning. “We considered safety, street lighting and sidewalk access, as well as survey feedback from your neighbourhood,

in choosing this site,” states the letter from Mary Traversy, senior vice-president of business transformation with Canada Post. The letter goes on to say that once the boxes are installed, a key to the mailbox will be provided and residents will be notified once delivery to the community mailbox has begun. At Monday night’s council meeting, Ron Neufeld, acting city manager, said Canada Post has been in contact with city staff regarding the location of the 270, plus or minus, community boxes. He said the city’s focus has been on logistics and whether or not the locations conflicted with driveways, utilities, street lighting, or city infrastructure. Neufeld added that specific neighbourhood complaints from homeowners have all been
directed to Canada Post. “My understanding is Canada Post is being responsive and following through on those types of responses,” Neufeld said. But Coun. Charlie Cornfield disagreed and said there’s been a lack of consultation since day one. “I’m a little concerned on this one,” Cornfield said. “I guess I must be lucky because I haven’t received any communication from Canada Post at all, so there must not be a box going in near my house or in my general neighbourhood.” Cornfield said there has been a lack of public consultation, which Canada Post representatives, including Chagnon, promised when they made a presentation to council on March 23. “I’ve been very disappointed with it,” Cornfield said. “I think it’s been very poorly han-

dled by Canada Post and I feel like it’s been rammed down our throats. As much as I’d like to be kind to them, I don’t think they were open and honest with us at the last meeting.” Campbell River is one of several communities in Canada this year that will be converted to community mailboxes, starting this fall. On the Island, Victoria, Langford, Colwood, Saanich, Esquimalt, View Royal, Sidney and North Saanich will also see the end of home delivery. A portion of Calgary; Fort McMurray; parts of Winnipeg; Oakville, Ont.; Kanata, Ont.; and parts of Montreal and Halifax were converted
to community mailboxes last year. Canada Post has said home delivery is no longer financially sustainable as Canadians have mailed 1.2 billion fewer pieces of mail in 2013 than they did in 2006. The corporation lost $125 million in 2013 but made a profit of $194 million in 2014. Canada Post attributes last year’s financial success to an increase in parcels shipped, higher stamp prices and reduced employee benefit costs. While the amount of parcels shipped increased, Canada Post delivered 214 million fewer pieces of regular mail than in 2013.

Tara shares taste of Ireland
Tribute to bring Orbison’s music to life The “Big O” was unmistakable with his trademark sunglasses, his distinctive, powerful voice, his complex compositions and the dark emotional ballads we all love. From 1960 to 1964 Roy Orbison landed 22 songs on the Billboard Top 40, including Only The Lonely, Crying, and Oh, Pretty Woman. His impassioned voice, bridging the gap between baritone and tenor, coupled with his signature arrangements, ensured the charting of the hits “Dream Baby”, Ooby Dooby, Blue Angel, Blue Bayou, You Got It and In Dreams. Tragically, Orbison’s life was cut short, leaving us only the music. And those hits and more will again ring out from the stage when Rock.It Boy Entertainment presents The Lonely — A Tribute to Roy Orbison Saturday, May 30, at the Tidemark Theatre. Veteran Mike Demers leads this group of musical journeymen in their mutual and deep appreciation of the timeless music of the Caruso of Rock. The Lonely approaches the music with a humble spirit and sincere desire to recreate the sounds and feel of the original recordings. Tickets are $37.50 (plus facility fees and service charges) and are available from the Tidemark Theatre Box Office. Charge by phone at 250-287-7465 or online at www.tidemarktheatre. com.

Tara School of Irish Dancing returns to the Tidemark Theatre stage for a pair of shows Saturday, May 23.
The glorious legacy of Irish art and literature is the inspiration for The Tara School of Irish Dancing’s presentation of “Come Dance with Me in Ireland”. This two-hour Irish Dance production will take the Tidemark Theatre stage Saturday, May 23, with shows at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Now in its tenth year in Campbell River, The Tara School of Irish Dancing has produced annual Tidemark Theatre dance shows and has developed a reputation for stirring, professional productions. “Come
Dance with Me in Ireland” will be no exception. Dancers ranging in age from five years to adult will portray the poetry and beauty of Ireland in graceful, flowing soft-shoe dancing and rhythmic hard-shoe. All choreographies are the original work of Dance Director, Margaret Mullen, who found additional inspiration for the show during her recent visit to the World Championships of Irish Dancing held in Montreal over Easter week. Guest artist Doug Folkins, will join the dancers for a lively,
“Dance in Brennan’s Barn” segment featuring the intricate Sean Nos traditional-style “Brush Dance”. Folkins, a popular Campbell River singer/songwriter and storyteller with a Celtic/ Countr y twist, will entertain with a selection of Irish medleys. He is perfectly happy to sing for friends at a kitchen party or down at the local pub, but he has also set his sights on becoming a renowned songwriter, crafting hits for other artists. “Come Dance with Me in Ireland” promises to be a lively show which
will bring the beauty and joy of Irish literature, music and dance into the hearts of the audience. Irish music and dance have universal appeal, so bring the whole family and take advantage of the group rates offered. Tickets are $20 for adults, $15 for seniors, students and children for the evening show. All tickets are $15 for the afternoon matinee. Group specials include buy six, get one free; and buy eight, get two free. Tickets are available through the Tidemark Theatre Box Office, 250287-7465.

C a mp b e l l R i v e r ’s Crimestoppers leave the seizing of illegal drugs and stolen property to the RCMP. But the Crimestoppers made a seizure of their own when they confiscated the 2014 Milestone Award for illegal drugs during the annual B.C. Crimestoppers Society conference in Prince George. “This is down to the hard work and dedication of the RCMP here,”
local Crimestoppers coordinator Pat Patterson said Wednesday at the local RCMP detachment. “It shows the strong level of communication between Crimestoppers and the RCMP.” Crimestoppers is an independent, all-volunteer, non-profit organization separate from the RCMP, but which partners with the police by providing tips — often supplied anonymously — from the public and other sources.

support of its own investigative work, Campbell River RCMP seized drugs with a total street value of $167,000 last year, tops in all communities with a population from 20,000 to 50,000 residents. “We blew everyone else away,” Patterson said. One year earlier, Campbell River Crimestoppers won the Milestone Award for highest value of recovered property. Through its 25-year history in Campbell River, Crimestoppers tips have helped lead to the seizure or recovery of nearly $10 million in property and drugs. “It couldn’t happen without the involvement of Crimestoppers and the input from the community,” RCMP Inspector Jeff Preston said. “We have a very good relationship with Crimestoppers; without their hard work, this wouldn’t be possible.”
Though stationed in Campbell River and funded partly by the City of Campbell River, the local Crimestoppers chapter has received tips from throughout North Vancouver Island and as far as Bella Coola and Powell River. “Crime has no borders,” said Patterson. “We turn that information over to the local RCMP in those areas.” Campbell River Crimestoppers also gets funding help through local events, including last Saturday’s Shredding Day at Strathcona Gardens. That event, which included a Kinsmen barbecue and kids games and snacks, raised nearly $2,000 to support its crime-fighting efforts. “ The value to us wasn’t just the money,” Crimestoppers president Rob Harris said of the event. “It was also in the exposure it gave us in the community.”

Park renewed with class J.R. RARDON CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
A group of Southgate Middle School students this year has engaged in math, science, environmental studies, woodwork and physical education. And that’s just one class. Through a unique partnership with volunteers from Greenways Land Trust, the students have resurrected the estuary and wetlands along Willow Creek in a year-long project on both sides of Highway 19A near the Ken Forde boat launch. The project was highlighted in a presentation to the School District 72 board of trustees during their meeting last Tuesday. “This wouldn’t be possible without our partnership with Greenways Land Trust,” said Erin Nixon, who has led the project with fellow Southgate teacher Aaron O’Shannessy. “They’ve become what we’ve dubbed our faculty of education.”
Chuck DeSorcy of Greenways Land Trust, left, guides Southgate Middle School students through a lesson at the Willow Creek greenbelt.
The Millennium Park project involved both classroom and field instruction and handson work at the creek, which had become overrun with invasive species and oil runoff from a nearby parking lot. “We spent the first couple of weeks focusing on removing those,” said O’Shannessy. Once the area was
cleaned up, the students then replanted the area with native trees and shrubs — 260 plants in all, said Nixon. “They discovered small shrubs are easily stepped upon and that flagging tape was not enough to mark them,” she said. “So they build trails to protect the biodiversity of the area.” The trails are made

with borders of natural driftwood collected from the nearby beach. With the help of the school’s woodworking instructor, they also made natural benches and seating in gathering spots in the park. Chuck DeSorcy and Libby King of Greenways helped oversee the project and found willing participants. “As much as possible, we want to get students out into the green spaces,” said DeSorcy. “It’s not only that they want to go out and walk along the seawalk, but they want to get their hands dirty. They want to be able to put a plant in the ground, watch it grow, put their name on the plant. “ That’s the really important part, the attachment to the space.” And the project has been more than kids getting out of their classroom to play in nature. The teachers assured the board the project falls within both the school curriculum and the district’s strategic plan emphasizing interestbased learning and collaborative engagement. Students have researched and built rain gauges and kept detailed graphs to monitor the health of the new plants. Ray Allan of Greenways recently visited the classroom and showed them how to test the pH of the soil and water. “We’re finding when they’re in the classroom these subjects really come to life for them,” O’Shannessy said of the students. “And we’re finding their behaviour when they’re inside is better, probably because they’ve spent that time outside.”

City having to navigate legal loop holes to provide business groups with funding City has to enter into legal agreement in order to allow groups to make improvements to city property
KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
City council is giving out grants to business groups around the community to help beautify four different areas of the city. During budget planning in February, council chose to give $10,000 each to the Downtown Heart of the City Business Improvement Area Association (BIA), the Campbellton Neighbourhood Associa-
tion, the Pier Street Association and the Willow Point Business Improvement Area Society. At Monday night’s council meeting, City Clerk Peter Wipper said that in order for council to give out those grants, it has to be through a legal agreement which the Downtown BIA has agreed to. “Although council is prohibited from providing assistance to business, it can how-

BIA’s are typically formed out of a desire for a higher level of service in a specific area than what is provided to the rest of a community.

After the semi-finals, Hayes, Moore and Jefford would advance to the finals; After Hayes took out Moore, Hayes would find himself against Jefford for the grand finals which saw a very tight battle with Hayes once again prevailing to take home the first round of Drifting. Four Dwarf cars arrived on Saturday with one 10-lap main being awarded to them which saw Kyle Kennedy lead all 10 laps, holding off Matt May to take home the win. Six I.M.C.A Modifieds also arrived on Saturday for their practice night. One 12 lap main event was given to them as well which saw Jeff May take an early lead and would hold on from there, taking home the short 12 lap main event. Extra laps...The Monster Truck are set to return to Saratoga over the May long weekend. California Kid and Rockstar will return to Saratoga to put on yet another amazing show. Last year we saw Rockstar hit one of the craziest jumps ever at Saratoga, flying over 40 feet in the air and landing on his roof on the front stretch. Accompanying the high flying Monster trucks will be the I.M.C.A Modifieds, who are making their first appearance of the year, Hornet cars, Roadrunners, Crash to pass cars and the Bomber cars on Sunday, with Sunday being a cheaper night for all the fans.

For 20 years the Campbell River Kinsmen have proudly been supporting the Rod Brind’Amour Cystic Fibrosis Golf Classic. From the very beginning they encouraged and partnered with the CF chapter to make the event a success. Lto R: Host Rod Brind’Amour, Al Buxton, Jim Costain, Rob Harris, Cystic Fibrosis (CF) has been the National Brian Toner and Ron Wood. Service Project of Kin Canada since 1964 and it was a natural fit that the CR Kinsmen lend their time and support for the Golf Tournament to raise funds locally to fight CF. Kin clubs support CF research, clinical care and fund local projects right across the country. When they first joined in the fight against CF, children with the disease were not expected to live past the age of four. So for roughly every year of Kin support, an extra year of life for a child with CF has been gained! The fight against cystic fibrosis will continue to have a special place in the hearts of the Campbell River Kinsmen. They are there for the long haul and will be amongst the first to rejoice when CF stands for “cure found”.

Fishing Corner

The fishing season last year was super on Vancouver Island because of a combination of good weather and an abundance of salmon in all areas that started in May and ended in late fall. There are plenty of lodges operating and they all offer fishing that is geared to each individual. The private fishing companies are often booked well in advance and have repeat customers that keep fishing with them year after year. I called a high end company based out of Calgary and they operate a lodge that caters to sports teams and corporate companies. Rates for a day start at $2,000 and they are booked well in advance. There are fishing guides that live in Campbell River and depart for the northern lodges to start fishing until September. Hess Guides have years of experience and they will log over 900 hours of fishing time. When the guides return to Campbell River after the season some will operate their own boats locally. They know the fishing spots and
week with salmon coming in between 26 and 34 pounds with lots of salmon in the high teens. Meanwhile, crab fishing was good and prawning was slow. Dan Fear at Sayward had reported good prawning north of Sayward. The fishing hotspot at the moment is Kitty Coleman. Trout fishing has really picked up locally and with the warm weather the fish are moving around. The best time is early morning. The trout go deep during daylight and the surfacing begins late afternoon. Lots of small trout are caught at Echo and bigger trout are bring hooked on the logging road side in water 20 feet or more. There is the annual trout Derby at Buttle and Upper Campbell Lake June 6 and 7 and the Roberts Lake Family Fun Derby is Sept. 17. Greg Tieperman is the Spring Fling Derby leader at Painters Lodge with his catch of 25 pounds. Thirteen salmon have been registered since the first week of opening.

spend less time catching salmon. Some guides will not fish locally in the off season but will spend time relaxing and gearing up for the next year. If they get equipment failure or have to change hook-ups they have enough tackle ready to go. Matt Conelley lives in the Comox Valley and has been guiding for 10 years and spends most of his time
guiding at a private lodge near the Queen Charlotte Islands. I visited Matt last week and the fishing was unbelievable in the months of January and February. Matt reported a triple-header at Coho Point fishing between 175 and 200 feet of water. Herring were plentiful and the bite was on. Fishing from his 27-foot boat was crazy in the past

How to find more time for family Working parents tend to have hectic schedules, and those responsibilities often impede on the time moms and dads get to spend with their families. Many parents strive to make more time for their families, and doing so can prove a greater reward than any promotions or bonuses earned at the office. For those parents whose efforts to achieve better worklife balances remain works in progress, the following are a few ways to free up more time for those people who matter the most to you. • Stop working. Once you leave the office for the day, resist the temptation to pick up your smartphone and check your email or listen to your voicemail messages. Smartphones have made it easier than ever before to stay connected to the office. But many working professionals feel this convenience has a significant downside, making them feel as if they are working roundthe-clock, even during moments that were initially earmarked as family time. Working
parents who want to make the most of the time they have with their children should ignore their smartphones during dinner or the time they spend hanging out with their kids or helping them do their homework. You can always sneak a peek at your emails when the kids go to bed. • Shake things up. If your list of responsibilities is truly taking time away from your family, don’t be afraid to shake up your routine. For example, instead of cooking
dinner alone, involve the kids so you can get some extra time in with them. If you like to go on a nightly jog around the neighborhood, let the kids accompany you on their bicycles so you can still get your exercise without having to sacrifice time spent with your children. • Propose changes at work. Work is one of the biggest consumers of parents’ time. Parents who feel their work schedules are inefficient or in need of some change should try to think of ways to approach
those inefficiencies so they aren’t having such adverse effects on family time. Business travel was once a reality of life for many working professionals, but nowadays technology, such as video conference calls, can let working moms and dads stay closer to home without sacrificing their productivity. Before bringing any issues to your boss, think of realistic ways to institute change so you and your coworkers can get more time with your families without falling short of company goals. • Move closer to the office. Though this might be a drastic change, parents who feel their commutes are greatly diminishing the time they get to spend with their families may want to consider moving closer to their offices so they spend less time sitting in traffic and more time with their families. Many parents are determined to spend more time with their families, and those willing to make a few adjustments can find that goal is not as difficult as it seems.
What is an RDSP? People with disabilities and their loved ones face a unique set of financial issues throughout their lives. In 2008, the Government of Canada introduced the Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP), designed to help build long-term financial security for disabled persons. The RDSP allows for anyone with a qualified disability to have a pension income at age 60. Of even greater benefit, to BC residents, is that there is no clawback on disability payments from other sources providing the savings is set to pay out for the disabled beneficiary. To help you save, the Canadian government will pay a matching Canada Disability Savings Grant (CDSG) of up to $3500 a year on your contributions. The federal government will also pay a Canada Disability Savings Bond (CDSB) of up to $100 a year into the RDSPs of low-income and modest-income Canadians. If the beneficiary of the plan is over 18 years old, the grants and bonds will be based on their income. If the person’s income is low (ie if they are receiving “Persons With Disability” income) no contributions are necessary to receive the bond. As a tax-deferred savings plan, that also benefits from government contributions, small deposits over time added to the compounded growth, can enable you to save for your retirement, or for the future of your loved one. The grants and bonds can add up. Further, if the disabled person is over age 18, they qualify based on their own income, meaning a higher grant. So, although RDSPs are complicated to set up, they are well worth the effort. Article written by Darlene Garat, Financial Advisor.

How to unplug from your devices While technology can be convenient, many people find themselves spending more time on their devices than they might prefer. Overexposure to communications technology can be detrimental to kids and adults, and some parents might be surprised to learn just how much time their youngsters are spending using different forms of media. Kids spend more than seven hours per day using various forms of media. That’s especially disconcerting when Pediatric Doctors say that overexposure to media can increase kids’ risk of aggressive behavior and interest in alcohol and smoking, and lead to poor
performance in school. So how can families who have grown accustomed to using their devices find ways to unplug? The following are a handful of strategies families can employ to reduce the amount of time they’re spending on their smartphones, tablets and laptops. • Start monitoring usage. Realizing just how much time you spend on your various devices is a great first step toward unplugging. As you go about your day, jot down each and every time you use any of your devices and what you are doing while using them, and ask family members to do the same. Do so for roughly one week, which should be ample

time to provide an adequate picture of how much time you’re spending on your devices and what you are using them for. Don’t beat yourself up if the numbers shock you, just resolve to lower those numbers and continue to monitor your device usage as you do so. • Cut out the media junk food. As you examine your device usage, you may notice you are spending lots of time on fruitless activities, whether it’s catching up on the latest Internet gossip or scanning friends’ social media pages to pass the time. Eliminating these activities from your day is unlikely to have an adverse affect on your life, and you will find yourself with more
device usage decrease dramatically. • Recharge devices outside of your bedroom. Many adults can’t resist the urge to scan work emails or social media right before going to bed, and that can increase
device usage and have a negative impact on sleep. When plugging devices in at night, be sure to charge them outside of your bedroom so you aren’t tempted to indulge in some extra and unnecessary usage at the end of the day.
Deliver papers, earn extra cash and spend time together!
If so, you are invited to our familyWORKs meeting.
For more information contact Karen 250-286-4848 • kmerritt@telus.net
• Schedule your media time. Many of today’s adults grew up in homes where their parents restricted the time they were allowed to spend watching television. Today’s parents can take a similar approach by limiting the amount of time their kids spend on their devices while also placing the same restrictions on themselves. Allow yourself a certain amount of time each day to spend on your devices, even scheduling times each day when you will watch some television or catch up with friends on social media. Stick to this schedule and you will likely see your

WINE
By Doug Sloan
Pale salmon colour; fragrant strawberry and raspberry fruit aromas; off-dry, cherry fruit flavours, with a soft finish. In the last 50 years, the production and consumption of wine has changed dramatically. The most popular Rosés got a snotty response from winegeeks because they were on the sweeter side. If that’s the case, just pour them over ice… From Chile Cono Sur ‘Bicicleta’ Pinot Noir Rosé (760116) $9.59 is extraordinary. This ‘dry’ South American pink is an explosion of strawberry and raspberry fruit flavours when it hits the tongue. Somewhere mid-sip, this 100 per cent Pinot Noir Rosé develops
WISE
B
ack in the 1960s, more than 50 years ago – when wine appreciation was in its infancy and everyone was ‘discovering’ wine – the wines of choice were Yago from Spain, Black Tower from Germany or Mateus Rosé from Portugal. Created in 1942 to satisfy the growing sophistication of emerging consumers in the UK and US who had been exposed to wine in Europe, Mateus Rosé was originally sweeter than today’s ‘leaner’ version. In the iconic pearshaped green bottle that so often became a candle-holder when it was empty, by the ‘60s and ‘70s, Mateus Rosé (166) $8.69 was legendary….
is 66 per cent Gamay, 16 per cent Merlot, 12 per cent Viognier with splashes of Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Syrah. Remarkable for the intensity of flavours,

the fruit characters race back and forth from red to black fruit. More than most wines, Rosés tend towards being blends. Some – like Mateus! – are blends of finished white wines and red wines, ‘assembled’ after fermentation is complete. Others are made from red wine grapes pressed gently and taken off the skins to finish and ferment. Some Rosés are from red grapes and white grapes cofermented. Malbec and Merlot make up most of Kim Crawford Pansy Rosé (142922) $14.69 from Hawke’s Bay in New Zealand. This is a ripe and fully fruited pink wine with aromas and
flavours of ripe strawberries. Despite its sassy and sweet fruit forward style, this full-bodied gem finishes refreshingly ‘dry.’ Although there are Rosés being produced in every wine-growing region in the world, the spiritual home of pink wines has to be in the south of France. Half-way between the mediaeval town of Carcassonne and the old Roman port in Narbonne, the Domaine L’Ostal Cazes stretches across 150 hectares of land including 60 ha of vines and 25 ha of olive groves. L’Ostal Cazes (71191) $14.99 is the palest of pinks – a white wine lover’s Rosé. To get that beautiful pale pink colour, the grapes are pressed immediately after picking at low temperatures to reduce the extraction of phenolic and colour compounds. Co-fermented from 50 per cent Grenache and 50 per cent Syrah, rain-washed roses and sun-dried pomegranate hover over a muted lemon-tinged chalky minerality. Here in British Columbia, winemakers have no historic tradition to bind their hands or dampen their creativity. Quail’s Gate
Rose (170316) $15.69 is a blend of 80 per cent Gamay Noir, 10 per cent Pinot Noir and 10 per cent Pinot Gris. This is a red wine lover’s Rosé – all jammy strawberries and cream up front with rhubarb and just peeled pink grapefruit in the finish. Despite our ‘local’ creativity, the classic Rosés still come from France’s Provence. Clinically winegeek and terminally French by origin, the term ‘Oeil de Perdrix’ translates as ‘Eye of the Partridge’ and reputedly refers to the colour in a dying partridge’s eye. Chateau l’Arnaude - Cuvee Nuit Blanche (466540) $24.39 nails that rosy hue. More roundly dusty and prettily pink than pale. a blend of 80 per cent Grenache and 20 per cent Cinsault grown on predominantly limestone soils a mere 45 kms from the sea, this Rosé simmers with subtle dried strawberry aromas and flavours and finishes with a sprinkling of peppery ‘bouquet garni’ – sage, rosemary and thyme in the aftertaste. Whatever your tastes, there’s a Rosé for you! Reach WineWise by email to douglas_ sloan@yahoo.com NEW ISSUE!

BOOMERS & Beyond Klari’s privilege to do for the community whatever she can I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. – George Bernard Shaw
group of colleagues, she spearheaded the first ever course on ergonomics in the workplace in Vancouver in 1986. In 2014, she was the recipient of the prestigious Lifetime Accomplishment Award by the Physiotherapy Association of British Columbia. Over the years she has been affiliated with the BPWN, the Daybreak Rotary Club, the Campbell River Diabetic Education Centre, the Stroke Recovery Association and the Museum at Campbell River.

SPECIAL TO THE MIRROR
he above quote on the wall of the Campbell River Physiotherapy office very well describes the attitude that owner Klari Varallyai has taken towards both her profession and the community she has practised in for over 35 years. And although a senior citizen, Klari shows no signs of stopping and her patients range from children right up to elders. Originally from Hungary, Klari trained and first worked as a physiotherapist in Australia, then at the University Hospital in Saskatoon. After three years there, she made her way west to Vancouver, then in 1976, came to Campbell River. Wanting the freedom to work for herself, Klari soon decided to open her own practice. She was encouraged by Dr John Ross, and on January 22, 1979 her clinic opened in the same location it is today at the corner of 10th and Alder. Although she was initially interested in sports medicine, since she had so many patients who were loggers, commercial fishermen and mill workers, she became interested in seeing where these men worked.

soring committee, said the food will be grown and distributed to those in need. “The food growing in the garden will be donated to the soup kitchen and to Cedar school,” Lanqvist said. “The garden will grow in the summer and the Cadets will be tending to it and weeding it. The summer crops will go to the soup kitchen and the fall crops will go to Cedar school.” Lanqvist said the group of 12-18 year-olds is a “good group of kids” who are happy to help out the community while learning a new skill. Victory Gardens harken back to the days during World War I and World War II. “They were broke, so they couldn’t go to the grocery store,” Lanqvist said. “The men were at war and the women were left behind to grow food for the family.” The Victory Gardens, also known as war gardens, grew vegetables, fruit, and herbs and were typically planted at private residences and public parks in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Germany. They were used to

Last day for early bird tickets for Denman Home & Garden Tour Tickets are now on sale for the much-loved Denman Island Home & Garden Tour, June 13 – 14, with today the last day to get the early-bird rate of $18 available. Purchase tickets on-line at www. denman-conservancy.org/homeand-garden-tour/ or to arrange alternate payment call 250-335-2148 or email denmanisland.hgt@gmail.com. HelloBC.com describes Denman Island as “low-profile” and “charmingly serene,” and for the most part, this cannot be contested: the exception being a certain horticultural madness that pervades the island. Named as one of Canada’s top six horticultural events by the Globe and Mail, the bi-annual Denman Island Home and Garden tour offers the rare opportunity to glimpse the passion, creativity, and unique island flourishes Denmanites dedicate to their properties. The home of sculptors Kathleen and Michael Rapati is a work of art in itself – a stunning curvelinear design, featuring handcrafted beams (a process involving 125,000 screws, 45 gallons of glue, and a crane), fascia that change in size to emphasize curve, fanning beams and changing window spacing, all playing with design principles in a pleasing way.
As intended, the home is a functional sculpture, and more of the artists’ smaller-scale works can be seen in the garden. This year they have the garden of Phyllis Brewer on the tour, a magical space specializing in roses, clematis and rhododendrons. This garden is a masterful bouquet of aromas in any given season, and wandering through, one can sense the years of experience and absolute passion at work. These are just two highlights of a tour that includes almost everything: architectural gems and sculptural abodes, abundant blooms and dramatic vistas. There are antique collections and contemporary artwork, organic wine at Corlan Vineyard and organic chocolate at the Denman Island Chocolate Factory. There are emus and other farmyard darlings scattered throughout the tour. Apart from gardens, another prominent Island passion is for food – and visitors can find home-made lunches and decadent desserts at the Denman Hall, or simply enjoy an idyllic picnic alongside an organic vineyard.

ach spring we make and sell hundreds of beautiful moss hanging baskets. There is always a stunning array of new basket stuffers to include in the baskets which is half the fun. Our ladies in the greenhouse can assist you in choosing the perfect mix for your basket. I’ve provided here an assortment that works well. Most of the plants are somewhat interchangeable so your basket can be unique and as original as you are. I always like to consider how colours will play off each others; such as placing golden foliage near purples and blues or hot pink.
2nd Ave.
Plants for a Sunny basket 1 Geranium (Zonal) for the top 3 trailers for the top 3 fillers for the top 24 plants (trailers & fillers) for the sides (We can show you what we use)
Method Set aside your plants for the top. There are twenty four plants for the sides. Divide up your plants into four groups of six each that will be the four layers of your basket. In each group you will have 3 trailers, like supertunias, trailing verbenas and bacopa and 3 fillers like fibrous begonias, lobelia and gazanias. I like the plants mixed throughout the basket so I would mix them for each layer and also vary placement around the basket. Let’s get started... • Line the bottom of the basket with moss. • Fill the basket about 1/4 of the way full with
potting soil. • Sprinkle ½ tbsp of fish meal. • Now begin to plant the bottom layer by passing the roots through the wire and laying the roots onto the potting soil. Do all six plants this way. • Add moss to the edges going up the sides about 2 inches. • Add more potting soil for the second layer, sprinkle ½ tbsp of fish meal and repeat the planting. • Add more potting soil for the third layer, sprinkle ½ tbsp of fish meal and repeat the planting. • Add more potting soil for the fourth layer sprinkle ½ tbsp of fish meal and do the last layer of the sides. • When the sides are all planted you can add enough moss to make a nice crown or top edge for your basket. Then fill with potting soil and put the remainder of the organic fertilizer and the Osmocote in the soil and gently mix. • Now you can plant the top. The Geranium or Tuberous Begonia
sits in the middle with the three trailers evenly spaced around. • Take the three filler plants and plant them off set between the trailers and the geranium or begonia. • Water the basket with a liquid transplanter fertilizer (or ½ strength 20-20-20 or liquid kelp).
Caring For Your Basket The secret to a beautiful basket is good quality plants, planted carefully with regular watering and fertilizing. Do not let your basket dry out even once. Feed your basket weekly with a liquid such as Plant Prod 15-30-15 or liquid kelp as the label recommends. Drop by we’re always happy to show you our favourite fertilizers for more flowers! Remember not to put your plants out to early; in our area we usually hang our baskets out around Mother’s Day. Enjoy! – Shauna Lambeth, Campbell River Garden Centre

Fulfil your urge to block some booty; join the Rink Minx KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The Rink Minx roller derby team has relocated to Campbell River and is looking for new members. The team, which is comprised of Campbell River and Comox Valley skaters, lost its practice warehouse in Courtenay and took the opportunity to move north after securing practice space at the Campbell River Community Centre, and most recently, at Strathcona Gardens. Rink Minx skater Lindsey Ryzak, aka Lita Riot, says the group is looking for members, with or without previous

experience, who love to
roller skate.
“We’re basically look-
ing for anyone that wants to skate,” says Ryzak. “Right now we have about eight or nine ladies in the program right now and they’ve been doing really well. Some have a sports background and some don’t. It’s not necessary to have any skating experience as we teach you everything you need to know.” Roller derby is a full contact sport full of positional – or booty – blocking, ride outs and hip whips. Each skater must wear full gear including a helmet, mouth and wrist guards, knee pads, elbow pads and roller skates. “We are always looking for new players, it’s a great sport and we

want everyone to have a chance at experiencing it,” Ryzak says. “Even if you’re not up for skating we have spots for volunteers, and non-skating officials.” The Rink Minx host beginner classes on Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m. at
Strathcona Gardens and practices for advanced skaters are Sundays at 4:30 p.m. at the Community Centre. Anyone interested can contact Lindsey Ryzak at 250850-4936 or email, rinkminxrollergirls@gmail. com.

BEHAN, CAROL ANN October 7, 1943 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; May 10, 2015
Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord After a short, but courageous battle with cancer, Carol passed away in Courtenay, with her family by her side. She was predeceased by her childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, Ike Guignard, father and mother, Merlin and Monica Behan, brother, Rick Behan, brother-in-law, Les Zohner and niece, Shelley Zohner. She is survived by, and will be lovingly missed by her four children: Trevor Guignard (Sharon), Stacey Guignard, Nishelle Leask (Calvin) and Dereck Guignard (Jennifer), grandchildren: Chelsea, Tom, Kane, Kyle, Taylor, Miranda, Austin, Braxton, Madison, ShaeLynne, Calum and Kaylee. Carol also leaves behind to mourn, her sisters Nora McHattie (Jim), Isobel Behan, both of Victoria, Maureen Zohner of Powell River, and brother Tom Behan (Rosie) of Campbell River, as well as many nieces and nephews. Carol was a member of the Catholic Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s League in both Powell River and Campbell River. Her strong faith was everything to her. She was a great community volunteer and was always ready and eager to help her family. In recent years, she discovered a love for painting. She shared her paintings with her friends and family for lasting memories. She loved her apartment across from the ocean in Campbell River and enjoyed her daily walks along the seawalk with her dog Miguel. Carol was a gracious, kind, loving, compassionate, understanding human being who always put her children, grandchildren and others before herself. Her time with us was much too short and she will be deeply missed by all who loved her. Her family would like to thank the amazing palliative care team: Dr. Sullivan (Campbell River), Dr. Fehlau (Comox), the wonderful nurses, home support workers, Comox Valley Hospice Society and Canadian Red Cross. They provided comfort, kindness, understanding and all the necessary equipment and medication to make Carolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last weeks as comfortable as possible. A funeral mass and service will be held: Saturday, May 16, 2015 at 11:30 am Saint Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church 34 South Alder Street, Campbell River, BC In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Comox Valley Hospice Society would be greatly appreciated.

Norman Schmidt Norman Schmidt passed away peacefully at home, on May 5, 2015 at the age of 80 years. Norman was predeceased by his grandparents John and Margaret Schmidt, who raised him, his sister Marion Zerie and brother and sisterâ&#x20AC;?inâ&#x20AC;?law, Peter and Arlene Vogel as well as grandson Josh Johnson. Norman is survived by his four children Karren McClinton of Sayward, BC; Cindy Schmidt of Sayward, BC; Keith (Teash) Johnson of Castlegar, BC; Elaine (Al) Brandt of Armstrong, BC. His sister Rose (Frank) Loos and all his nieces and nephews and cousins left in Weyburn, Saskatchwen and surrounding area. He will be greatly missed by his grandchildren Beverley (Shelten) Johnsen, Chris (Tara) McClinton, Derek McClinton Joel (Ashlee) Grimard, Jennifer Grimard, Kimberly Brandt and Gary Brandt. Norman will also be missed by his greatgrandchildren Ethan, Kaya, Saija, Linden, Dominic, Angel, Aiden; Jaxson; Jase and Landin. Norman also leaves his sonâ&#x20AC;?inâ&#x20AC;? law Robin Grimard to mourn his passing. Normanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always easy but he worked hard in the bush, as a faller providing for his children and raising them on his own for many years. Although he was rough around the edges, he believed in tough love and deep down, he was a real softy. His grandchildren saw the softer side of Norman and he was an amazing grandfather. He loved working in his shop doing woodworking. He created everything from wishing wells to windmills and furniture. Norman loved nature and a day fishing, or a weekend out camping at Mohun Lake was a great way to spend time. At Normans request there will be no service. Donations in Normanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory may be made to the BC Lung Association or the local SPCA.

Tour the traditional homelands of the Homalco T he Museum at Campbell River is offering a unique opportunity to participate in a cultural tour to the traditional homelands of the Homalco Band in the heart of Bute Inlet. On Sunday, May 31 and then again on Aboriginal Day June 21, the Museum will host guided tours to Orford Bay in partnership with Discovery Marine Safari. The boats will leave Campbell River at 8:30 a.m. and return around 4 p.m. that evening. These trips are not to be missed. Bute Inlet is amongst the most stunning waterways on the coast, flanked by soaring mountains and containing crystalline waters. The Homalco Band has been making efforts over the past few years
HEROES – The Penfield Elementary PAC would like to thank all those who helped with Fun Fair. Thanks to Chris at Panago, Jen at Subway and Jim at Dairy Queen for donating/supplying food for the event. Thanks to Coastal Community Credit Union for sponsoring one of our Bouncea-ramas. Thank you to Mike & Pam at Bounce-a-rama for supplying the bouncy fun!

to reconnect to their traditional lands along the Orford River. The area is abundant with wildlife, being a prime location for grizzly bear viewing. The Band is working with youth to create cultural experiences for visitors, of which these Museum trips will be the first to participate. For many living in coastal B.C., the opportunity is rare to travel up into these far away inlets to enjoy their outstanding beauty. Rarer still is the opportunity to visit a First Nations reserve and to experience an ancient culture. The tour will include the opportunity to paddle a traditional Salish design canoe, witness a demonstration of cedar weaving (and learn how to weave a simple piece), learn Homalco history,
visit with a Homalco artist, peek in at a hatchery and visit the grizzly bear platforms. If local wildlife make an appearance that will be a bonus. But of special note will be a delicious traditional seafood feast prepared for lunch. This meal is sure to be a delight. It has taken many years, but at last the Homalco Indian Band of Campbell River have come full circle; reclaiming their history on their own ancestral lands. Homalco means ‘people of turbulent, or fast running water.’ The Homalco language is a Coast Salish dialect, and their core traditional territory extends from Dent Island to the vicinity of Raza Passage and includes all of Bute Inlet. The cost for the trip is our photo booth. We couldn’t have done it without any of you! The kids had a blast! – Barbara Baldwin on behalf of the Penfield PAC

Nothing beats a graveyard stroll Genealogy is not so much concerned with names and dates as it is with the stories that go along with them. But sometimes the stories get lost. That’s where the Campbell River Genealogical Society (CRGS) comes in. Its dedicated members do more sleuthing than Sherlock Holmes, rediscovering those misplaced stories and reworking them into the tapestry of our community. In this column I shall share some of their discoveries. Graveyards intrigue me. Perhaps that’s why they’ve had starring roles in four of my novels. There is nothing I like better than to stroll among the markers,

The cemetery was enlarged twice – in 1935 and 1952. Then in 1957 the Village of Campbell River took over the cemetery’s operation. But with the opening of the new burial grounds on Highway 28 in the late 1980s, the original Campbell River Cemetery pretty much ceased operation. These days, the only new burials are additions to pre-existing plots. Later this spring or during the summer, CRGS will host a walking tour of the cemetery. Sign me up. I can’t wait to hear all the stories.
One of the first occupants of the cemetery was Campbell River’s founder, Charles Auguste Thulin. Born in Sweden, Charles and his brother, Fred, immigrated to Canada in 1888, working for a time as loggers. After establishing the community of Lund near Powell River, they bought land which was destined to become Campbell River and built its first business, the Willows Hotel. In 1908 Charles permanently relocated to Campbell River with his wife and children. To this day, the Thulin family remains an important influence in the community.

To help or not to help baby birds: Catch up on your kindness and find out Spring has sprung in British Columbia, and that means there are plenty of baby animals of all shapes and sizes being welcomed into the world by their anxious parents throughout the province. It’s also a chance to catch up on your acts of kindness in the BC SPCA’s Million Acts of Kindness movement, which focuses on our feathered friends in a few weekly featured acts of kindness.
March to July is nesting season for birds, which is also a dangerous time for baby birds, as dogs,
cats and other wild predators can damage or destroy eggs and young birds. Nestlings can sometimes fall out

of their nest, and fledglings often spend time on the ground when they’re learning to fly, but many people might not know what to do if they find a baby bird. That’s why a featured act of kindness in April encouraged Million Acts of Kindness participants to share the BC SPCA’s ‘What to do with baby birds’ messaging, which outline the steps to take, should someone find a young bird on the ground. “Keeping a close eye on your dog or cat will help save the lives of birds, especially since many species nest on the ground,” says BC SPCA animal welfare educator Meghann Cant. “Occasionally
you may need to intervene if you find a baby bird, depending on whether the bird is a nestling or a fledgling.” Another upcoming Million Acts of Kindness act encourages movement participants to help wild birds by purchasing window decals that alert birds to the fact that there is a window

How to protect your pets from extreme heat Extreme heat can be unpleasant for anyone, and pets are no exception. While it's easy for men and women to detect if their bodies are responding negatively to heat, those warning signs may not be so prevalent in pets, who may suffer in silence as the mercury continues to rise. Pet owners must pay special attention to their pets on hot days, which can be both uncomfortable and dangerous for pets. In an effort to help pet owners protect their pets from the summer heat, the following tips are for pet owners who want to keep their pets cool and safe this summer. • Don't leave pets in a parked car. The temperature inside a vehicle can quickly approach dangerous levels on hot days, so pet owners should never leave their pets in parked cars, even if they leave the air conditioning on and the engine running. On an 29 degree day, temperatures inside cars with slightly cracked windows can reach 39 degrees in as little as 10 minutes. Rather than taking pets with you on car trips, leave them at home inside a comfort-
ably air conditioned room where they won't be vulnerable to rising temperatures. • Change pet's exercise regimen. Pet owners who make sure their pets get daily exercise should change such routines when temperatures are on the rise. Midday walks or jogs should be switched to evenings or early mornings, when temperatures tend to be at their most moderate. In addition, cut back on the time spent exercising, as pets may have trouble breathing on hot days. When taking your dog for a jog or a run in the summertime, do so on the grass, avoiding asphalt, as hot asphalt can do significant damage to your pet's paws. • Be mindful of your breed. Dog owners should recognize that certain dogs can handle the heat better than others. Short-nosed
breeds have a harder time in extreme heat because their shorter airways don't allow as much time for the air they breathe in to cool as dogs with longer noses. In addition, dogs with white-colored ears are more susceptible to skin cancer than other dogs, making it imperative that owners of such dogs reduce their exposure to the sun on hot days when the UV index is especially dangerous. • Let dogs inside. Doghouses might not be as prevalent as they once were, but many owners still keep doghouses in their backyards so their fourlegged friends have a place to relax outdoors on lazy afternoons. But doghouses can be similar to parked cars on especially hot days, making rising temperatures feel even hotter. Let dogs hang out inside in an air conditioned room

on hot days to reduce their risk of heatstroke. • Learn to recognize the signs of heatstroke. Pets suffering from heatstroke will exhibit certain symptoms, and pet owners who learn to recognize those symptoms can do something about them before it's too late.

breathing, excessive thirst, and lack of coordination are just a few potential indicators that a pet is suffering from heatstroke.

Aquarium opens this weekend for a third season “Wow, I can’t believe that those are really animals, they look like puffy feathers… awesome!” said the Grade 2 student as she encountered the beautiful orange sea pens in one of the tanks at Campbell River’s Discovery Passage Aquarium. She and other students from Sayward school were delighted to visit the Aquarium this week – and to be the first to see the displays this season. Yes, it’s Aquarium season again. Volunteers and staff have been busy stocking tanks with a new and very diverse selection of
critters. “We have a whole bunch of animals – favourites, and new on display this year,” says Deb Cowper, manager of the Aquarium. “Not just the sea pens, but also a good selection of the beautifully weird and impressive nudibranchs (sea slugs), fascinating pipefish, and a gorgeous red Irish Lord camouflaged amongst the strawberry anemones. Also new for the season are several different species of crab, the giant barnacles that look like false eyelashes when they feed, and an ‘Under the Dock’ display representing Argonaut
questions they had.” New this year is the Explorer Lab which will be operated by Aquarium staff out of the Maritime Heritage Centre. “After opening the Aquarium this weekend, we will turn our attention to getting our new Explorer Lab ready,” said Cowper. “Thanks to much support from the community we will be able to host groups and work with them on marine life, do hands-on science, or art and play, just across the parking lot on the ground floor of the Maritime Heritage Centre.” The Aquarium and
Sea life found within the waters of Discovery Passage will be back on display as the Aquarium opens this weekend for another season.

Explorer Lab are both run by the Discovery Passage SeaLife Society, a local charity dedicated to educating the public about the fantastic natural aquatic environments of Northern Vancouver Island. “We have a summer of Aquarium fun ahead, so get your season’s pass now early on and enjoy unlimited visits…we are looking forward to connecting with you and showing you our local treasures,” said Cowper.
