Daycare agenda item met with unruly support KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
They came with signs, children and their voices and they filled the public gallery to overflowing at Monday night’s council meeting. More than 70 early childhood educators, advocates, parents and their children descended on city hall to encourage city council to endorse a plan for $10 a day child care. While council didn’t go so far as to endorse the plan in its entirety, councillors did support the concept in principle and that seemed to satisfy the crowd which let out a cheer following the vote. After a couple of attempts by council to nail down what it was trying to say, councillors in the end voted to endorse in principle $10 a day child care by sending an endorsement in principle letter from mayor and council expressing how it will benContinued on Pg. 3

T
he ghosts of the past are being stirred up at the Berwick by the Sea retirement community. So who better to
capture them than ghostwriters? Students from Timberline Secondary School’s English 12 have been gathering stories from residents in a series of visits to Berwick in a project dubbed Writes of Passage. The students, working
in teams of writers, artists, editors and book designers, will turn the recollections of the resident seniors into first-person “memoirs” to be published in a book that will be donated to the Berwick by the Sea library next month.

Daycare: Concept supported in principle Continued from Pg. 1
efit the community. Councillors Michele Babchuk, Charlie Cornfield, Colleen Evans and Larry Samson were in favour while councillors Ron Kerr, Marlene Wright and Mayor Andy Adams were opposed. Coun. Kerr said he felt there were other alternatives to dealing with child poverty while Coun. Wright was concerned there were too many holes in the proposal. Adams he supported the concept of affordable daycare but was worried about how the province would pay for the plan which is estimated to cost roughly $1.5 billion a year to implement if it were to include all children under the age of six. But Coun. Cornfield said that’s something that the province can work out down the road. He said by supporting the plan in principle, council was simply saying it supports helping those who are most in need. “It’s saying we definitely support the concept of helping the most vulnerable in our community and Campbell River has always been known for that,” Cornfield said. “It’s saying it supports the $10 a day in principle. How it gets paid for will be worked out.” Coun. Babchuk agreed and said it was about local government having the opportunity to bring the issue of child poverty to a higher government body. “This is an exercise in communication here, it’s an opportunity to bring issues in our community to the province,” Babchuk said. “All we’re doing is exercising our right to communicate that this has the ability to help people in our area.” Coun. Samson, who has been vocal in his support for organizations like Success by 6 and encouraged council at its last meeting May 11 to support the plan, reiterated that Campbell River’s child poverty rate is higher than the provincial average at 22.8 per cent and that Campbell River children rate lower for standards of reading and writing compared to their provincial counterparts. Samson also reminded council that Dr. Charmaine Enns, Island Health’s chief medical officer, has said in the past that initiatives such as the $10 a day plan help reduce child poverty because it puts more money in the pockets of parents. It also allows more parents to enter the workforce. “This is the time to make the change, to break the trend,” Samson said. “Daycare should be available to all families, not just the ones that can afford it.” Samson added that one of council’s strategic goals states that a community’s strength is defined by how it treats its most vulnerable. “And that’s what we’re talking about here tonight.” While council backed off on fully endorsing the plan, which 40 other regional district and local governments have done – including Campbell River’s School District 72 – council will still send a letter of endorsement in principle. Under the plan, funding for daycare would fall under the mandate of the provincial Ministry of Education and would be subsidized by the province, allowing for affordable daycare – $10 a day for fulltime care, $7 a day for children attending daycare part-time and free for families with annual incomes below $40,000. Currently daycare on average in Campbell River costs $987 per month for toddlers and $735 each month for 3-to-5-year-olds. The plan would also raise the wages of early childhood educators to $25 an hour and would put an early childhood educator in each kindergarten and Grade 1 classroom.

Boat catches fire shortly after setting out from dock A small pleasure craft caught fire Friday morning shortly after setting out from the dock. Fire Chief Ian Baikie said the 34-foot long boat was out at sea when the fire broke out just before 10:30 a.m. “The boat had left the dock in Campbell River and it wasn’t long out when the engine caught fire,” Baikie said. “He called the Coast Guard which

put hoses on it but they couldn’t get it out.” Baikie said the Coast Guard cutter, the Cape Palmerston, removed the occupants from the boat and then towed the craft to the cruise ship terminal where fire crews were waiting. Two fire trucks and 10 fire fighters were on scene and used hose lines to extinguish the fire. Baikie said the cause of the fire, which broke out just minutes after the boat left the harbour, is unknown.

Federal political scene greening up
Brenda Sayers was named Green Party candidate for North Island Powell River Sunday.
The local Riding Association and Elizabeth May, Leader of The Green Party of Canada recently introduced their candidate for North Island Powell River. “We need to see a real change in Ottawa; a change that is peopledriven,” said the newly-named candidate, Brenda Sayers. The announcement on Sunday was made at the joint Federal/Provincial Green Party rally in Nanaimo and live-streamed across Canada. The Party has now finalized the line-up of All Star candidates for the seven Vancouver Island ridings. As a member of the Hupacasath First Nation, Brenda Sayers fought the ratification of the Canada-China Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (FIPA) for the
past two-and-a-half years on behalf of her community and of all people of Canada. This experience has given Sayers the determination and drive to continue working for Canadians’ rights and liberty. Joining other outstanding Green Party candidates on Vancouver Island, such as Jo-Ann Roberts (Victoria) and Paul Manly (Nanaimo Ladysmith) Sayers said, “I am excited and honoured to be the Green Party candidate for the North Island Powell River riding and I look forward to being part of a large Green Party caucus in Parliament.” Sayers will be joined by Elizabeth May for her Campaign Launch at the K’omoks Big Hall (3330 Comox Road) on Friday, June 5 at 6 p.m.

Timberline students, Berwick seniors have the write stuff Continued from Pg. 1
The experience has been an eye-opener for the youths. They’ve heard tales from those who fought in long-ago wars — or lived under nightly blackout conditions on the home front — immigrants homesteading an untamed wilderness without running water, electricity or any of the conveniences they’ve grown up taking for granted; and times of stark deprivation recounted with a smile and a “that’s just the way it was” shrug. The students have read about these events in history books but seemed shocked to find people who lived that history living in their community. “One story I thought was cool was a girl who lived through the Great Depression,” said Weyler. “I didn’t expect it would be that far back.” The project was the brainchild of teacher Rachel Nelson and was sparked by the death of her own grandmother. “It caused me to remember stories she had told me,” said Nel-

son. “When I realized my children weren’t going to hear those stories I thought I better write them down in a hurry.” The project also falls within School District 72’s strategic plan of integrating students into their community while learning through selfdirected and collaborative projects. For the Grade 12 students who will enter the adult world in earnest in a couple of months, Nelson felt it was important
to deliver a rite of passage experience that lent the project its name. “There is no set outcome; it’s really just about having really rich conversations with people outside their normal circle,” said Nelson. “To pull them out of their structured classes and do something organic in their community.” The published book is simply a “thank you” payback to Berwick by the Sea, she said. Each resident’s tale will be accompanied by an
art element and cover a two-page spread in the book. Each spread will be identified with a theme, depending on the nature of the story. A small biography of each resident will also be included. The residents volunteered for the program through a sign-up sheet, and those taking part seem to genuinely enjoy the interaction. “They have some dumb questions and some very smart questions,” John Rozema said with a laugh. “They haven’t really experienced life yet, but they’re good kids. It’s a nice experience.” During a visit by students last Thursday, residents paired off with student interviewers while Weyler and fellow Grade 12 Ben Campbell took turns shooting photos and video. After completing her interview, student Beth Marcaccini plopped in a comfortable chair and began a pencil sketch of the scene that may eventually turn into one of the art works in the book. Some of the inter-

views involved a fairly balanced questionand-answer dynamic. In some cases, though, the resident simply launched into the story and the student was left to try to keep up with pencil and notepad. Some residents brought yellowed photographs to show, and Nelson
scanned several for possible use in the book. In at least one case, the tables were turned. After sharing her story, inquisitive resident Colleen Godard began grilling Grade 12 student Fraser Stewart on his own family’s background and his plans. She then hustled back
to her apartment for a tablet so she could take her own photos with Stewart. “I think it’s a wonderful idea,” Godard said of the Writes of Passage project. “It makes the younger generation see that being old isn’t the worst thing in the world.”

City’s Homelessness Coalition dissolved KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The city’s Homelessness Coalition, in its present form, will fold, following a decision by its members to disband the group. Six members signed a letter, dated April 16 and served to council on its May 11 meeting agenda, offering their resignation. Coalition members said they chose to resign from the group in order to join a new community-based organization being formed to address i s s u e s s u r rou n d i ng homelessness and community health. “Through a strengthened commitment in our efforts to eradicate homelessness and poverty in Campbell River, members have chosen to move forward by creating a community com-
mittee to address issues of homelessness, housing and poverty in Campbell River,” the members wrote in their joint letter to council. Mayor Andy Adams said the new committee will have council’s full support. “We’re all looking forward to continuing to work together collaboratively to help the community committee accomplish their goals,” Adams said in a release. He said among other things, the community committee will work toward the establishment of a Community Health Network that includes several community stakeholders. The Strathcona Regional District, in partnership with Island Health, is currently in the preliminary stages of determining the feasibil-
director, Dr. Charmaine Enns, North Island medical health officer, Tony O’Keefe, vice-president and chief of communications and public relations, representatives from the division of family practice, as well as Strathcona Regional District directors Noba Anderson, Jude Schooner and Ron Kerr. The Health Network is just one component of the new community homelessness committee which will continue on with the work that the Homelessness Coalition volunteers have put in over the years. The Coalition was formed in 2010 under past mayor and current councillor Charlie Cornfield, on a recommendation from the Homelessness Task Force which was created in the spring of 2009. The task force was set up to exam-
ity of such a program. Community Health Networks work to help health care providers pin point what specific regional issues are contributing to poor health for its citizens. The Network aims to improve health and well-being by focusing on circumstances that affect a person’s health such as where they were born, where they grew up, where they live, work and age.

ine homelessness in the community and provide city council with recommendations on how to alleviate the problem. The Homelessness C o a l it i on op e r at e d under the ‘Housing First’ approach, which supports permanent lowbarrier, supportive housing with a focus on harm reduction. The goal of the
‘Housing First’ approach is to immediately house people who are without a home no matter what their condition or situation. Between 2012 and 2014, the coalition provided funding support for a temporary worker at Palmer Place; funded a study to explore partnership opportunities for the development of a
30-plus unit supportive housing complex for the homeless; volunteered more than 900 hours; and developed the Campbell River Community Homelessness Strategy, which identified the need for a low-barrier shelter, additional extreme weather shelter and a homeless hub for services.

Rowdy gallery gets its way
In the end, city council decided to endorse a $10 a day daycare in principle without fully endorsing the plan proposed by the Community Plan for a Public System of Integrated Early Care and Learning. Some councillors were rightly asking how the province would pay for such a system but others decided that could be worked out later and that it wasn’t council’s responsibility to figure it out. The question arises as to whether this was council’s issue at all. Do our municipal governments not have enough issues dumped on their laps by senior levels of government without councillors taking on provincial responsibilities voluntarily? Anyway, speaking of childish behaviour, why do people involved in issues about the care of children insist on bringing their kids out to protest for them? You see it in teacher disputes and daycare supporters felt the need to trot out their kids past their bedtimes to a boring city council meeting. At least the kids were quiet it was the adults who were rowdy. Mayor Andy Adams quipped, when asking the gallery to be quiet, that this was not a gymnasium. The gallery got its support from council so was all the unruly behaviour really necessary? Not intending to sound like an old curmudgeon here, but what did they think they were teaching their kids with that behaviour?
Online Voices ● “Geographers advocate big changes for Campbellton” Ian McDougall – To make tourism start to click like Victoria, there has to be a tourist transportation service from the Quadra Ferry to Campbellton (lower river access), then all the way up to the new Elk Falls suspension bridge. That transportation system should actually start at Willow Point (Frank James Park Carving site, Sybil Andrews, Lion’s Hall, Willow Creek Estuary/Ken Forde boat launch and beach). A few older style logging trucks converted for open air seating – mind you, with overhead protection from the elements! ● Children are an investment in our future – Campbell River Mirror, May Sharon Elizabeth Gregson – Well said Kristen. Thanks for speaking up for investment into quality affordable child care for Campbell River’s children. If our province can afford to invest in LNG then we can certainly afford to invest in the $10aDay Plan - great returns for children’s development, women’s equality family well-being, and our economy. ● Back in the fast lane – Campbell River Mirror, May 22 Dave Auger – Saw your victory run Saturday and could not help but be moved by the moment, and inspired by the truly driven spirit ,and genuine support from family and friends.

Battling Queen Anne’s lace on steroids A substantial swath of the community, from conservancy groups to social organizations to individual volunteers, has taken it upon themselves to sweep away the pervasive Scotch broom that is taking over large tracts of land in and around Campbell River. Meanwhile, though, a real nasty customer appears to be gaining a foothold not far off the beaten path. Giant hogweed, originally an ornamental from Asia, has been creeping its way into the B.C. landscape for nearly a decade. And this is one plant you don’t want getting under your skin. Not merely invasive and a threat to crowd out native plant species, giant hogweed is actually a risk to public health. The sap of the plant, expressed through hairs in the stem and leaves, can cause burns, blistering, discolouration and scarring when it contacts skin. Rubbed in the eye, it can cause temporary or permanent blindness. It’s also a plant that keeps on

by a private owner, but is shot through with trails accessed by residents and visitors in the area. The cool, shaded paths and river access that draw hikers are also the perfect breeding spot for giant hogweed, which appears to be starting to crowd and even overhang parts of the trail. One might be prompted to claim the owner is responsible for removing these toxic plants. On the other hand, the owner might simply exercise the right to fence off the property and deny all public access. In a case like this, the responsibility for our safety must fall, in large part, right back on us. No different than being aware of our surroundings and taking safety precautions on the water, in avalanche zones or hiking in remote areas, caution must be taken even on a simple streamside walk. A basic internet search will show you how to identify giant hogweed. Arm yourself and your children with knowledge. Otherwise, you might get burned.

Tax notices coming in the mail KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
It’s that time of year again. Home owners can expect to get their property tax bill in the mail sometime this week. Taxes will be due no later than July 2. In February, council approved a 1.69 per cent residential tax increase for 2015, which equates to $24.02 more for the average assessed home. To arrive at that figure, council took $200,000 out of the city’s general operating surplus in order to pare down what would have otherwise been a 2.64 per cent tax increase. Property tax bills will not only include the city tax but also the taxes the city collects on behalf of the school district, Strathcona Regional District, the hospital,
BC Assessment Authority and the Municipal Finance Authority. “Charges on the top half of the city’s tax notice such as Net School Taxes and Net Other Government Taxes are collected by the city and passed directly on to those other agencies,” said Dennis Brodie, the city’s finance operations supervisor, in a release. “They are separate from city property taxes, even though they show up on our notice.” Property taxes can be mailed to the city or paid in person at city hall. The city will accept postdated cheques as well as payment by debit card. The city cannot accept payment by credit card. If taxes are not paid by July 2, residents will be hit with a 10 per cent penalty. The city asks that anyone who does not receive

Potential hogweed infestation worries residents J.R. RARDON CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
J.R. RaRdon/Campbell RiveR miRRoR
A possible hogweed plant, at right, grows alongside a trail near Oyster River.
A resident of a rural Oyster River neighbourhood is concerned about an apparent influx of toxic Giant hogweed along popular area trails, but local and provincial government agencies may have no recourse in removing the potentially dangerous invasive plants. “It’s off and running here,” said Bruce Giles, who lives just off Glenmore Road. “It’s not a good scene.”
Lazyboy 5x10
RED TAG
Giant hog weed, sometimes mistakenly referred to as giant cow parsnip, is a noxious, invasive plant in B.C. It resembles native cow parsnip but can grow much larger, up to 5-6 metres in height. Small hairs on the stems and leaves of the plant contain a poisonous sap that can cause severe irritation, burns and blistering when it contacts exposed skin. Perhaps most insidious, the sap sensitizes skin to ultraviolet radiation, meaning the site of

the contact can continue to burn for several years afterward, each time it is exposed to sunlight. In severe cases, permanent scars can result, and if the sap comes in contact with the eyes it can cause temporary or even permanent blindness. Because of the plant’s risk to public health, both the province and Strathcona Regional District have management plans in place to remove the plants from parks and lands under their control. “It’s been a known

problem in Southwest B.C. for, I would say, the last 10 years, at least,” said Becky Brown of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. “That’s when it really came on our radar. Due to the potential health impacts, it tends to be dealt with quite aggressively.” Strathcona Regional District’s Community Services Division confirmed it has a work plan and budget for the management of hogweed and other invasive species for 2015 within its parks. However, the common-use trails along which the plants have sprung up off the end of Glenmore Road are actually located on a private forestry property. “Unfortunately, our regional district does not have a tool or mechanism, or management enforcement procedure, in place to request private landowners to remove invasive species that appear on the land,” said Ralda Hansen, community services manager for SRD. The regional district has identified areas for invasive species control including the Oyster River Nature Park, located just across Highway 19 from the area of concern to Giles. Similarly, the province, which maintains a database of verified noxious weed locations, has an infested site mapped on provincial land just across the river from the Glenmore trails. Brown said the province does not have a verified report of giant hogweed in the Glenmore area specifically, and
was unable to determine from photos whether the plants growing there now are actually hogweed or not. If they are, however, their management will probably fall to the owner. “Generally speaking, private landowners are responsible (for noxious plant control),” said Brown. “Our goal is to manage the plant in high-risk areas, where public contact is likely. With other land owners, we strongly encourage them to manage control.” Left to its own devices, each plant produces about 50,000 seeds, which have wings that allow them to float through the air for days. Once they do come to earth, they can remain viable for up to 15 years. Provincial invasive species control is managed through the Invasive Species Council of BC, which in April was awarded a $1.7 million grant to help control their spread in the province. The province also provides management information for private owners who wish to control giant hogweed and other invasive plants on their own land. A video is available from Worksafe BC, and information is available online from the Invasive Species Council and the BC Ministry of Agriculture. “My kid knows about it, and he tells all his friends,” said Giles, who has an 11-year-old son. “There are families here with two- and four-yearolds. I don’t want to see anybody getting into that. “If that hits your skin, Lord help you.”

BC Hydro says people will be able to walk from the parking lot along a short section of trail to view, from a safe distance, the water coming out of the station. The trail will be closed off just where the steps go down to the front of the station. The area where the commercial operator Destiny River Adventures enters the river will be unaffected by these changes.

The John Hart project continues to change the face of the landscape around the power generating station, and the public has only a few days remaining to walk across the front of the generation station The next phase of the project includes the closing off and re-direction of a section of the Canyon View Trail. The final day the trail will be available to the public is May 31, and it will be closed beginning June 1. “There were many complicated and important issues surrounding the John Hart Generating Station Replacement Project when we engaged the Campbell River community, and one of the top points of interests was ‘what are you going to do to our trail?’” says BC Hydro spokesperson, Stephen Watson. “The approximate one-hour Canyon View Trail loop along either side of the Campbell River is a real gem to the community and BC Hydro heard that very clearly. And the good news is the broader trail loop through BC Hydro property will be maintained throughout the project construction period.” Through project mitigation and compensation, in 2013, BC Hydro constructed the Station

As the morning sun shines down on those gathered in the backyard of the Sybil Andrews Cottage, the Grandmothers to Grandmothers group couldn’t have asked for better conditions for its first plant sale. But it’s not your typical garden sale. The plants are already nestled into beautiful baskets and containers and there’s more than just the greenery. There are also gardenthemed crafts, hand-
made by the women in the Campbell River chapter of the Grandmothers to Grandmothers group, and tea – complete with home-made baking – served on silver trays. In the background comes the sounds of the cello played by Marcia Haley. The event, which took place Saturday, was held to raise money for the Stephen Lewis Foundation which supports social programs and health services in Africa. The Grandmothers to Grandmothers group provides funding
through the foundation for African grandparents raising their grandchildren who have been orphaned due to AIDS. Grandmothers groups on Vancouver Island have raised $2.2 million towards the cause, with $66,000 of that coming from the Campbell River Grandmothers to Grandmothers group, which was established in October, 2008. The Stephen Lewis Fou nd at i on , w h i ch started in 2003, launched the Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign in March of 2006 to raise awareness, build solidar-

It has since grown to more than 200 grandmother groups across the country, involving 5,000 women, who support African grandmothers through the Stephen Lewis Foundation. Since its establishment, the foundation has supported more than 250 projects in 15 African nations that provide care to women who are ill and struggling to survive, assist orphans and other AIDS-affected children, and sustain networks of people living with HIV and AIDS.

Scott Auramenko, Financial Advisor made sure RBC Dominion Securities became a strong supporter of the Rod Brind’Amour Cystic Fibrosis Golf Classic the very first year of the event. He began by canvassing their fund companies for prizes and auction items and quickly became a Platinum sponsor. In 1999, the two Scotts were recognized for L to R: Host Rod Brind’Amour, Scott Auramenko with sons their “significant contribution to the fight Zach and Hunter, guest NHLer Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. against CF, through their exceptional work and extraordinary support of the Golf Classic” as the Tournament’s inaugural ‘Eagle 97.3 FM Trophy’ cowinners. Originally from Saskatchewan, Scott gravitated to the west coast 20 years ago and lives in Campbell River with his wife Treena and their sons, Zach and Hunter. Scott is happy that every day at RBC he is able to assist clients in building and securing their financial future. Scott is pleased that their support means so much to the tournament and to people who fight cystic fibrosis every day of their lives.

This season alone, they have won numerous awards for group and solo routines in various styles of dance. At Tremaine Dance Competition in Vancouver, WA, their youngest dancers competed andwon “Top Overall” score in their age division.

Each of the three adjudicators chose one of their dances for the “Best Overall” in the entire competition. Recently, in Nanaimo at the Core Dance Competition, their soloists and groups placed first in several categories.
The dancers of CR DanceXtreme will perform their year-end shows June 11, 12 and 13.
They had two groups and one soloist, Emiko Koizumi, place in the “Top Ten” overall. Artistic Directors, Shawna Sloan and Buddy Mynatt, are now preparing the dancers for their final dance competition of the season which will
be held in Las Vegas at the “West Coast Dance Explosion Competition” in July. Currently, the dancers of CR DanceXtreme Inc. are preparing for the upcoming recital shows, “Postcards from Afar” (Thursday evening, Sat-

Advances in assessing cardiometabolic disease During the month of March I had the good fortune of visiting one of my favourite medical labs in Birmingham, Alabama. Atherotech is the industry leader for early identification and successful management of cardiometabolic disease. They run standard blood tests as well as their signature lipid analysis called the VAP. VAP stands for Vertical Auto Profile technology. I was met with all the hospitality of the deep south, by my favourite educator Kenneth French. For three hours he gave me a guided tour of the lab and then reviewed the science
behind the VAP test. We only were able to tour half the lab in that time! Atherotech is one of its kind, measuring the actual levels of the lipids in the blood. They have a large footprint in their lab dedicated to doing this one test at an investment of hundreds of thousands of dollars. They receive blood samples from around the world as no other heart lab offers the accuracy of this test. I saw blood samples just like mine, arrive by FedEX first thing in the morning. The samples are recorded and then centrifuged vertically at 60,000 rpm for 45 min-
utes. The specialized cholesterols is important plastic tube they use for to see how predictive this has to withstand this they are of a cardiovasforce. This separates all cular event. Half of the the lipid layers p e op l e w h o by weight and have a cardiothen they are vascular event measured using have so called a light technormal chonology. Lipids lesterol readmeasured by ings. What all standard blood of these Heart tests are a calLabs around Dr. Ingrid culation and not the U.S. are tryPincott actual measureing to discover Naturally ments. is what other There are sevrisk factors do eral important differ- these folks have that ences in measuring lip- are not currently mainids this way. According stream? to Dr. Davis, who wrote The fact that cholesthe book “The Wheat terol itself causes cardioBelly”, measuring the vascular events is highly size of the LDL and HDL controversial and what
we see on the VAP testing is that the high levels of LDL cholesterol oxidize the arterial walls and raise an inflammatory marker called Lipoprotein Pla2, implicated in the formation of rupture prone plaque. This inflammatory marker definitely is reduced with the use of statin drugs. Dr. Davis also finds that when people avoid wheat and gluten, their LDL particle size gets larger, and this is ideal for transporting lipids in the blood, preventing them from inflaming arterial walls. I use this test to confirm that statins are effective for the patient
and I also confirm dosages. Some can lower their dosages and still get the desired effects; often I can use natural remedies to get the same effect. There are very few Canadians offering this test to their patients. I am so very happy that I have this tool to help people make decisions about their care plans. It is also one of the best tests to determine insulin resistance, which is the body’s inability to metabolize sugars in the blood efficiently. Insulin resistance is a risk factor for all kinds of inflammatory diseases including diabetes, cancer and Alzheimer’s Disease.
Using my treatment plans I am able to show patients their improvement over time. May is Stroke Awareness Month. By using the VAP testing with Atherotech and other cardiovascular risk parameters such as CRP, homocysteine, vitamin D, GGT and uric acid, I am able to educate patients on how they can help prevent stroke and other cardiovascular events.

High Profile Speakers at the Business Leader Luncheons The Chamber’s first Business Leader Luncheon with high profile guest speaker, Jessica McDonald, President & CEO of BC Hydro proved to be a great success. With over 70 guests, the luncheon was both engaging and informative. The Chamber is excited to announce the next Business Leader Luncheon with Kris Mailman Sr, CEO of Seymour Pacific Developments and Broadstreet Properties. June 11th will be the opportunity to hear from Kris Mailman Sr. and tour the new downtown Seymour Pacific building as part of the Business Leaders Luncheon series being presented by the Campbell River Chamber. Tickets are now on sale at www.campbellriverchamber.ca. Both Broadstreet Properties and Seymour Pacific Developments were founded on hard work, strong family values and a progressive vision. The story traces its roots to owner Kris Mailman’s childhood, during which he spent long hours on construction sites managed by his father’s business, Mailman Construction. Those job sites are where Kris learned firsthand what

it takes to succeed in the construction industry, and where he developed the strong work ethic that would become the fabric of the organization represented today as Broadstreet Properties and Seymour Pacific Developments. Having recognized that Campbell River is truly a great place to raise your children and your grandchildren there was no contest when it came to relocating his head offices here. “I started the company here and even though we’ve grown nationally, I wanted to maintain the head office in Campbell River.” he says. The buildings that Seymour Pacific purchased had been derelict for quite some time and had been long in need of replacement. Now, the vacant lot has been replaced with a five story state of the art constructed building, complete with Energy efficient LEED standards, an engineered office building that houses the growing team required to manage the thousands of rental units of Seymour Pacific’s affiliate Broadstreet Developments, and the expanding staff contingent for Seymour Pacific itself.

Panelists Shared New Insights on the State of Education in Campbell River ”Our Chamber believes that education is one of the most important investments in the future economic prosperity of our region and province, and that the business community, who are the providers of economic prosperity, should have the opportunity to help shape direction, stated Chamber President Colleen Evans. At a recent Chamber Luncheon on Thursday, May 21, at Sequoia Springs golf course, the Chamber took action to advocate on behalf of members for the opportunity to hear more about what is happening in our education system and how that impacts
business, employers and our community overall. Local businesses came out to the recent Chamber luncheon held at Sequoia Springs golf course, to hear what the state of education is in our community from kindergarten through to post-secondary. Guests learned how North Island College and SD72 are collaborating to ensure opportunities are available through education, to support our community and what role municipal government is taking to facilitate this. Panelists included Mayor Andy Adams who spoke to the new four-year municipal plan; Randall
Heidt, VP Strategic Initiatives North Island College (NIC) identified innovation and new opportunities at NIC; and Tom Longridge, CEO of SD72, shared information on the significant changes in our education system. Panelist highlights included: • Recent updates on international students, exchange students and our relationships with China and Japan; • What’s happening in Campbell River to meet the needs of the tech sector, technology and the creative industries; • Funding decisions that will impact kindergarten
