Second death after a violent conflict in a year 17-year-old tracked down by service dog after police called to Hilchey Road location
A violent altercation has left an 18-year-old man dead, the second such incident in Campbell River in less than a year. Police have a 17-year-old in custody after an altercation in Campbell River Saturday night left one man dead. Police attended a home in the 500 block of Hilchey Road just before midnight last night. They found an injured 18-year-old man and provided first aid until an ambulance arrived. The injured man was taken to Campbell River hospital but could not be revived. A police service dog was called and the 17-year-old suspect was located. “This was not a random act of violence,” Staff Sgt. Troy Beauregard of the Campbell River RCMP said in a press release. “The suspect and the victim were known to each other.” No further information was available. Last Oct. 18, Campbell River RCMP responded to a 911 call to assist an ambulance with an unresponsive male outside a residence on Alpine Road at Dogwood Street. Campbell River RCMP and BC Ambulance Service attended and found the male was deceased. Campbell River RCMP Major Crime Unit and Forensic Identification Unit attended and treated his death as suspicious, Campbell River RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Poppy Hallam said. No arrest has been made in the case.

Community garden creates raised bed to accommodate wheelchair gardeners KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
It’s a beautiful day in the garden as Sherrill Stone McKay and Lorraine Hart tend to their vegetables. The two are working side by side in Campbell River’s Laughing Willow Community Garden which
boasts 20 individual garden beds full of food and flowers. But there’s one garden bed that’s still ripe for the taking. It’s a raised bed specially designed for someone with chronic health or mobility issues that make it difficult for someone to work in a typical garden.
Stone McKay says a crew of volunteers spent many weeks researching, designing and building the garden bed which allows for ample room for a wheelchair or walker to enter the garden and work around the bed. “There’s blue chip gravel that

packs around the garden bed so wheelchairs can be supported,” Stone McKay says. “It’s wheelchair and walker accessible. Now we just need a gardener to come and use it.” The plot is 10 feet long by three feet wide and is 30 inches high. Because of its large size, Stone McKay says the plot could be split between two gardeners. The accessible garden plot is the last structure incorporated in the blueprints of the community garden to be built. “We’re under the umbrella of Greenways
Land Trust and right from the start, this was in the plan,” Stone McKay says. “This was the final piece.” The Laughing Willow is more than just a garden; to the members, it’s a community. “It’s a happy place to socialize and share information and bring in new gardeners and share ideas,” Hart says. “We help each other out. If someone goes away, we’ll help them with their watering.” Stone McKay says even though the garden is in Willow Point, the gardeners that belong to the Laughing Willow come from all corners of
the city. “They come from all over town,” she said. “Some people have homes and a yard of their own but they don’t have the open, sunny space and some live in condos.” Having a community garden gives them a space to come and do their own gardening and there’s a shed, which was built by the Rotary Club, full of tools that have been donated by the community. “Everything in the shed can be used by everybody so you don’t have to go out and buy your own equipment,” Stone McKay says.
The gardeners also share a herb garden, two apple trees and a set of composters. At the back of the garden, everyone pitches in to tend to a large garden bed that is full of food such as beans, blueberries, potatoes, kale, tomatoes, onions, strawberries and rhubarb which is grown specially for the food bank and the Salvation Army’s soup kitchen. The Laughing Willow Community Garden is now in its fifth year of operation. The garden is located on the corner of Simms Road and Lawson Grove in what used to be Simms Park.

The city donated nearly $10,000 towards the construction of the garden and a number of local businesses donated
funds, as well as individuals, to get the garden started. For more information about the Laughing Wil-

J.R. RARDON CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
A woman was taken to hospital Friday afternoon after her vehicle left the South Island Highway and flipped before coming to rest in the corner of a residential yard. No other vehicles were involved in the accident, and no passengers were in the car. The woman was conscious and alert when fire department and ambulance personnel extracted her, but no other details about her condition wereº available.
The car, a silver Mercedes hatchback, was traveling southbound in the Stories Beach area at around 12:30 p.m. when it rolled into the ditch on the right-hand side of the road while going around a corner. “The driver who was following her said she came around the corner and just kept turning,” said Erling Jorgensen, who lives in the area and came to the scene after he and other residents heard “a loud bang.” After the car entered the ditch, it continued to travel forward until hitting the edge of the driveway at 3906 S.

Neighbours from the surrounding area also appeared, and one of them produced a pair of lopping shears to help clear the bushes around the car where
wasn’t any follow-up on that,” secretary-treasurer Kevin Patrick told trustees. “So tonight we have that budget ready for approval through a bylaw.” The 2015-16 budget includes a draw of $843,928 from the district’s unrestricted reserve, to help offset an overall deficit of roughly $1.2 million. Another $395,000 of that deficit resulted from a cut in funding from the Ministry of Education, which mandated the savings come from the adminis-
trative budget. That led to the approval of a separate bylaw by trustees to establish a communication strategy to keep the public informed of the impacts of the provincial funding cuts, which will continue for at least the next two years. Tuesday’s vote included three readings of the budget bill. It was made without discussion, though trustees engaged in a lively conversation about the budget when it was first unveiled by Patrick on May 5. “At the last board meet-

City to establish new board with tourism focus
Having already chosen to amalgamate the economic development function of Rivercorp into City Hall, the city is moving on to the next phase of re-tooling delivery of Rivercorp services. A new, independent tourism board will be established by the end of the year as part of a restructured Tourism and Campbell River and Region corporation. “With council confirming (in April) that the economic development function will move into city operations, it is now time to establish a new board with a sole focus on tourism,” Mayor Andy Adams said. “We hope to have a new board with a new tourism focus established before the end of the year that
will build on past efforts and set the direction for effective tourism marketing and promotion.” The planning for the new delivery model began following the election of the current council last year, with a review and consultation with the current Rivercorp board. “The Campbell River Economic Development Corporation fully supports the restructure of local economic development and tourism promotion and the establishment of a new tourism board,” says current board chair Donna Hains. “The existing economic development board had a wideranging mandate with a number of responsibilities, and I am pleased that council is providing the opportunity to continue to support tourism promotion in a more focused way.”
Tourism projects currently underway will continue through 2015 through the existing tourism leadership committee, which includes members with expertise in large and small accomodations, adventure and recreation, food and beverage, attractions and events, retail and transportation. “Right now we’re in a bit of a transition status,” said Ron Neufeld, acting city manager. “We’re not anticipating any changes until the new board is populated. Campbell River Economic Development Corporation has staff that provide the tourism function now, and they will continue to work on the projects they have under way.” The city expects to begin advertising for new board members early in the fall. Once it is formed, its mandate

will be to create and implement a renewed tourism strategy. The new tourism board will include a cross section of industry members representing the accommodation industry, tourism operators, the Tourism Leadership Committee, and potentially other board members who have indicated a desire to contribute to the new tourism model. “We have already begun talking about how to enhance and support Campbell River’s 2016 tourism strat-
egy to meet the needs of tourism operators and attract visitors to the region,” said Hains. “A key aspect of the tourism board’s success will be to seek new sources of funding to further enhance promotion and marketing initiatives.” Adams acknowledged the review, assessment and ultimate reconfiguration of Rivercorp have created uncertainty and stress for current economic development and tourism staff and board members. “Council is very grateful for their continued

patience and professionalism throughout the past few months,” he said. “We would like to thank the Campbell River Economic Development Board for their continued dedication and cooperation while we transition to the new structure over the next few months and look forward to continued close cooperation with the many other organizations that work to promote the region, including local First Nations, Tourism Association of Vancouver Island and Island North,

Derelict boat bill sinks in House of Commons J.R. RARDON CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Barring a change in heart by the House of Commons, responsibility for the next abandoned boat in Campbell River-area waters may fall right back on local volunteers — and taxpayers. A private member’s bill on derelict vessels, brought by NDP MP Jean Crowder of Nanaimo-Cowichan, was shot down in a 145113 vote in the house last month. The bill would have designated the Canadian Coast Guard the “receiver of wrecks” and would have obligated the federal government to establish regulations for removal and disposition of abandoned vessels. A derelict vessel left stranded on a gravel bar in the mouth of Campbell River earlier this year was removed in part by a group of volunteers, with a $3,500 contribution from the City. Opponents of Bill C-638 objected that it would force the Coast Guard to handle the removal of all derelict vessels, with a corresponding cost to Canadian taxpayers. Crowder said that was a mis-characterization of the bill,
which would still have allowed the Coast Guard to track down the original owner of an abandoned vessel to remove it or pay for its removal. “It is still incumbent upon the owners to be responsible,” she said during the floor debate. “If we wait for all derelict vessels to become navigational or environmental hazards, the cost of dealing with them goes up.” Rather, the bill was meant to eliminate “a real jurisdictional nightmare” by designating a single government agency to oversee the problem, Crowder told the North Shore News following the failed vote. The Coast Guard, Transport Canada, Fisheries and Oceans, and Environment Canada may each have jurisdiction over wrecks, depending on the circumstances. At other times, abandoned vessels slip past all of them and are left to local communities to address. The MV Pursepa, a 50-foot, converted live-aboard boat, ran aground while traveling downstream in Campbell River in early March. When the captain was unable to float it on the tide, it was left in the river as it listed to star-

board. The Coast Guard, which has environmental response jurisdiction, did eventually contract removal of the fuel tank and engines, but left the remaining hulk on the bar. As residents along the bank began to notice parts of the boat begin to wash up onto the shore, a group of volunteers took on the task of removing the boat. In one trip out to the bar, the volunteers removed the wheelhouse, upper deck and batteries and carted the debris to the land-
fill. The tipping fee was waived for that trip, but the group did incur an expense when it hired an industrial helicopter to remove the heavier ballast and keel in an effort that finally cleaned the gravel bar nearly seven weeks after the ship first ran aground. “I’m a retired logger,” said Mike Gage, is heavily involved in salmon enhancement and restoration efforts in the region. “That’s the way we get things done. The Coast Guard and DFO have been so stripped of their funds they can’t

Coast Guard the regulatory power it needs to take action before derelict vessels become a problem.” Only one member of the Conservative majority broke ranks to vote for the bill. John Weston (West Vancouver) said the bill was flawed but he voted with the opposition because of the importance of the issue to the people in his riding. He said he planned to introduce his own private member’s bill, with an emphasis on criminal and financial penalties for owners of abandoned vessels. “Some of these owners are destitute anyway, so you’re going to put them in jail or give them a heavy fine, but it doesn’t solve the problem,” Crowder said. “The vessels are still there.” With files from John Gleeson, Black Press.

Larry Sampson said. “When you have citizens stepping up like this so quickly, all you can say is, ‘Thank you,’ and support them as much as we can.” It was the second time Gage was involved in a volunteer boat cleanup effort, following the removal of a small craft near the mouth of Willow Creek four years ago. Crowder’s bill was intended to lift that onus from volunteers, cities and other government agencies at various levels. “While they may start out as something that people see simply as an eyesore, many go on to become hazards to safety or to the environment,” NDP MP Randall Garrison (Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca) said in support of the bill. “The intention of Bill C-638 is to give the

Our View
Election amendment law not needed The BC Liberal government is in the process of adopting the Election Amendment Act, which will give candidates and political parties the ability to access private data about voters from past provincial elections. The NDP, unfortunately, has gone along with the basic thrust of this law. The most principled opposition has come from Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver, and independent Vicki Huntington has also been challenging the law. The main purpose behind the law is to allow wellfunded political parties, notably the BC Liberals and NDP, to “mine” voter data and craft campaigns to encourage their own supporters to come to the polls, while at the same time (and likely quite secretly) coming up with ways of targeting specific supporters of the other parties from casting votes. Along the way, they will be digging into voters’ privacy in a way that has caused the Information and Privacy Commissioner great concerns. It is unfortunate that there has been so little attention paid to this. The amendment, introduced by Weaver, called for a delay in implementing the law until there was more public consultation. While the NDP supported the amendment, the BC Liberal majority voted against it. B.C. is, in some ways, the wild west of politics. There are no restrictions on donations from businesses, associations, wealthy individuals or unions to political campaigns. While there are limits on spending during campaigns, the most crucial and strategic spending is often done before the campaign is underway. Now the political parties are being handed another tool that, in a day and age when it is easier than ever to collect a raft of data about individuals, will allow them to hone their message and specifically target individuals. Citizens should always be suspicious when governments bring in new laws that are not even on the radar screen for ordinary people. This law is an invasion of privacy and will only lead to political manipulation, all in the name of winning an election. -Black Press

Elk Falls offers no second chance
Despite the warning signs, it seems people just can’t resist getting too close to the edge to get a good look at Elk Falls. Last week Campbell River Search and Rescue issued a warning to the community after photos and a YouTube video surfaced of young people sitting precariously close to the edge of the 25 metre cliff above the falls. As Grant Cromer with Search and Rescue put it, there is no chance of surviving a ride over the falls and there are no second chances if you get too close to the edge and fall in to the fast moving currents. With summer approaching and increasing amounts of visitors being drawn to the park by the new suspension bridge, it’s important that people are made aware of the dangers surrounding the falls. That’s not to say that people shouldn’t enjoy the falls, but enjoy them from the safety of the suspension bridge or one of the three view points that all

After the last incident, BC Parks put up signs near the rocks warning people about the hazards of getting too close to the edge and it would benefit us all if people would heed those warnings. It ruins it for people who want to go and enjoy Elk Falls when they see people putting their lives at risk and it sends the wrong message to others who may think, ‘if they’re walking out that far, I can too.’ And not only that, when someone does go over the falls, Search and Rescue crews are put in a perilous situation. They have to rappel down the rock face and swim in turbulent water while navigating sharp rocks. It makes for a difficult and traumatic situation for both rescuers and the families of the victim. But this can easily all be avoided if people take care to be cautious and not test the limits. Stay safe this summer and don’t become another statistic.

City defers decision on pride-painted crosswalk KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Organizers of the first ever Pride Festival in Campbell River want to paint one of the downtown crosswalks in the rainbow colours of the pride flag. Kelly Whiteside, organizer of the event, asked council last week for permission to spice up the sidewalk between Spirit Square – where the event is being held – and the Tidemark Theatre which is partnering with the Pride Festival. The Tidemark is presenting Apocalypstick Pride Party, an East Vancouver drag show, on the same day and will be the featured evening event of the festival.
“In light of the fact that both events will be held directly across the street from each other, we would like to request permission to temporarily paint the crosswalks on either side of the Theatre with the rainbow colours of the pride flag,” Whiteside wrote in a letter to city council. Whiteside noted that the City of Vancouver approved the permanent rainbow painting of the sidewalks and crosswalks on Davie Street where annual pride events are held and the City of Toronto approved similar permanent rainbow crosswalks in its Church Street neighbourhood. Whiteside, however, was asking for the Campbell River crosswalks to
be painted temporarily, between June 13 and 27, and suggested it could help liven up downtown. “With the current city focus on revitalization of the downtown core, we feel that these rainbow crosswalks would fall within and complement this current mandate and continue to support a vibrant downtown cultural precinct,” Whiteside wrote. Council, however, was hesitant to support the painting of city crosswalks without some sort of policy. Coun. Charlie Cornfield put forward a motion to approve the temporary painting of the crosswalks, subject to the use of materials as approved by city staff. But Coun. Ron Kerr
put forward a subsequent motion – which was passed – to instead refer the issue to the city’s Advisory Planning and Environment Commission. “If the Canada Day committee comes here next week and wants to paint (the crosswalks) red for Canada Day or the Netherlands Liberation Committee wants to paint them orange or the Irish dancers want to paint them green, each of those would have to come back to council,” Kerr said. “The point I’m trying to make is I think we need policy on this so I’m proposing we refer this request to the Advisory Planning Commission and staff to develop
a policy on this matter.” But Cornfield noted that the commission does not meet before June 13 when Whiteside is asking for the rainbowcoloured crossswalk. “I think it’s inappropriate to refer the motion to a date beyond what’s requested,” Cornfield said. While Coun. Larry Samson agreed with Cornfield, Mayor Andy Adams said he too would like to see a policy developed. “Just because we have a request I don’t think we need to knee-jerk on it, I think we need to do it right,” Adams said. “I think we need to be consistent and our way of being consistent is to have policy.”
Opportunity to teach children about democracy In response to “Our View: Rowdy gallery gets its way.” In My View: As the person who presented the request to city council to endorse the $10/ Day Plan for Early Care and Learning I believe we were always just asking for the council’s support in principle. We were not ‘dumping’ anything on city council’s lap. By endorsing the $10/ Day Plan, city council would be sending a message to the provincial government that early care and learning is a critical component to a healthy B.C. society. That’s all! Child care is in crisis – fees are too high, there is not enough regulated spaces and wages are too low. We need public commitment, political will, an ‘A plan’ to address the crisis. Rowdy gallery? What? I could understand this description if the $10/Day Plan supporters had ‘booed’ Mayor Andy Adams when he attempted several times to amend the motion that was before council when finally a city clerk stepped in and told the mayor that he could not

make an amendment that would change the intent of the motion. But we didn’t. Yes, the gallery did show enthusiasm by clapping when some councilors voiced their support for the $10/Day Plan but we had clapped throughout the evening for other items on the meeting’s agenda and the mayor did not hush us. Childish behaviour from parents bringing children to a city council meeting past their bedtime? Really? I don’t know of many children who go to bed at 6:30 p.m. I believe parents who brought their chil-
dren saw it as an opportunity to teach their children about what it means to live in a democratic society and role-model how to be a contributing and active citizen. Reallife experiences are the most powerful way children learn. The $10/Day Plan will take 10 years to implement. Yes, there will be costs up front. One way we could pay for these costs is to use the 2014/15 budget surplus B.C. Finance Minister Mike De Jong announced in February of this year. As we invest in creating an early care and learn-
ing system the government will get immediate returns from increased income tax and sales tax. Parents will have more money in their pockets to spend locally. Quebec’s child care system has demonstrated that for every dollar they have invested in their system they recover $1.05, which more than pays for its 1.6 billion annual investment. In addition, Ottawa recovers 44 cents – for an additional $700 million in revenue – without having made any investment. The savings of implementing the $10/ Day Plan that cares for
our children and families has been calculated at up to $17 for every $1 spent. These savings represent tax dollars NOT spent over a lifetime of increased health, legal and social costs. These savings do not include the avoiding costs in lost human potential that are hard to calculate. Can we afford not to implement the $10/Day Plan?

Mayor Andy Adams wants to bring a giant waterslide to Campbell River. This summer, Utahbased Slide the City is bringing its 300-metre (1,000 foot) long vinyl slide to Nanaimo and Adams wants what Nanaimo is soon to have. “It looks like way too much fun,” said Adams at last week’s Monday night council meeting. Dubbed by the company as the ‘slide of your life,’ Slide the City is a family-friendly slip and slide water party that travels across the United States. The company is coming to Canada for the first time this year and chose Nanaimo for its Vancouver Island stop. Adams said he learned in February that three Island communities – the Comox Valley, Nanaimo and Victoria – were in the running. “I immediately contacted Slide the City and said that Campbell River is the third largest city on Vancouver Island and we wanted to be in the game,” Adams said. “I received a reply from them on Sunday that Nanaimo has been selected as the city for Vancouver Island this year. We did say if they have any logistical issues

or challenges that we are ready, able and willing to host.” Adams said in all seriousness that Slide the City thanked the city for its interest and said it looks forward to Campbell River being in the running for 2016. The slide, which is longer than three football fields, will be set up in Nanaimo in either July or August on Victoria Road, starting at Finlayson Street at the top of a steep slope. Guests are encouraged to bring water buckets,
water guns and inflatables to ride down the slide. The cost to use the slide ranges from $28 to $45 and the event is expected to attract between 3,000 and 4,000 people. According to the City of Nanaimo, roughly 80,000 gallons of water will be needed to operate the slide which is about equal to the same amount of water needed to operate one of Nanaimo’s city parks for four
days. Slide the City will also be coming to Kamloops on July 18 and North Vancouver on August 22. Slide the City organizers had approached the City of Vancouver but its proposal was rejected there due to safety issues. Other Canadian Slide the City stops this summer include Edmonton, Calgary, Fort McMurray, Halifax, Toronto, Hamilton, Saskatoon, and Regina.

City council is considering making changes to how it deals with presentations from the public in order to free up more time for priority items. At the start of nearly every council meeting, there is typically at least one delegation, be it an organization, a developer, or an individual, presenting to council. Often there are several delegations or presenters on the same night, despite attempts from staff to try and limit the amount of presentations per meeting, said City Clerk Peter Wipper. “On evenings when several delegations are presenting, it can sometimes take more than an hour for them to be heard which reduces the amount of time that council has to address its own business,” Wipper said in a report to council. “Many councils across the province place restrictions on presentations so that they are left with sufficient time to address their priority issues.” Wipper said city staff
reviewed delegation procedures in Kelowna, Nanaimo, Prince George, Vernon, Victoria and Hilo, Hawaii to determine whether Campbell River could better streamline how it deals with its delegations. From that process, city staff have come up with four recommendations which city council have asked staff to bring forward to a future council meeting for consideration. In order to give council more time to spend on its strategic priorities, Wipper recommends council reduce the amount of time given to each presenter, from 10 minutes to five minutes. “It is estimated that the majority of presentations could occur within five minutes,” Wipper said. “Council always has the option of extending the time limit by majority vote.” Wipper noted that in Victoria delegations are given five minutes while in Hilo, Hawaii presenters are only given three minutes. Wipper also suggests that council consider
moving delegations to the end of the meeting, with exceptions granted to developers or other delegates who are presenting information that council is scheduled to debate later on in the agenda. “A fundamental tenet of any meeting agenda should be to debate priority issues first,” Wipper said. “This way council has sufficient time to devote to its important issues. Council should not be required to rush important decisions towards the end of a meeting because of the time taken by delegations.” In that same vein, Wipper also recommends that in order to save time, that development applicants only be permitted to speak to council if city staff are recommending council deny a development application. “The City of Kelowna does not permit developers to present to council if staff have recommended approval of their application,” Wipper said. “This makes sense and would eliminate many delegations
which do not provide any new information. In the case of rezoning applications, all applicants are afforded the opportunity to present at the public hearing.” And finally, Wipper suggests that because it is often unclear what a presenter is requesting, that delegates use a standard form to make their intentions clear in writing. “When members of council are approached by a member of the public requesting to present, it is preferable that they be asked to contact either the city clerk or deputy city clerk so that the appropriate information can be obtained using a standard form,” Wipper said. “Of the municipalities surveyed, all require requests to be made in writing using an application form that provides background information and specifies what action is requested of council.” The recommended changes to how council deals with its delegations will be brought back to council within the next few weeks for consideration.

Fest features reds, whites and blues E
Award-winning bluesman Tim Williams will headline the annual Wine and Blues Fest by the Sea June 13 at the Maritime Heritage Centre.
xpect an evening of reds, whites and blues as Day Break Rotary presents the fifth annual Wine and Blues Fest by the Sea at 7 p.m. Saturday, June 13, at the Maritime Heritage Centre. Begun in 2011, the Wine and Blues Fest by the Sea has continued to get bigger and better each year,” event co-coordinator Theresa Marson said. “We have over 11 winery representatives with wine from regions all over the world,” said Marson. “The wine tasting is complemented by a special selection of cheeses, cold cuts, breads, fruit dishes, spreads etc. all generously provided by Thrifty’s Food and a variety of tasty treats provided by Super Mario’s Bar & Lounge, Rocky Mountain Chocolates, Natural
Pastures Cheese, Outlandish Shellfish, and Grieg Seafood.” The ticket price also includes attendance at wine pairing seminars, samplings of specialty wines, door prizes and a silent auction and, continuing an annual tradition, free taxi service home within the Campbell River area after the event. Throughout the evening, live entertainment will be provided by blues guitarist/singer Tim Williams, the 2014 International Blues Challenge Award Winner as best Solo Artist. The U.S.-born, Calgary-based Williams also boasts a string of Maple Blues Award nominations, three JUNO award nominations, and roughly a dozen awards from Real Blues magazine. Williams was also honoured
as Guitarist Of The Year for 2012 by the Calgary Blues Music Association. His blend of passionate, soulful vocals and awe-inspiring chops on a number of instruments, including finger-style and slide guitar, mandolin and Hawaiian guitar (among others), along with his wry sense of humor and deep knowledge of blues and roots music, continue to win fans everywhere he plays. This year’s wine representatives include: Mark Anthony Brands, Martin & Peacock, Storied Wines & Spirits, Vibrant Wines, Lone Tree Cellars, 40 Knots Winery, Constellation Brands, Peter Mielzynski Agencies Ltd. (PMA Canada), Southend Farm & Vineyards, Sonoran Estate Winery,
Quench! Wines, Authentic Wine & Spirits Merchants, Blue Moon Winery, and Phillipe Dandurand Wines. Each representative selects a cross section of wines for tasting, often featuring a new or unique selection to be sampled. This is a non-profit fundraiser event that will allow the Rotary to continue with its many charitable causes in the community. All proceeds will stay in the community. The Day Break Rotary Wine and Blues Fest by the Sea takes place from 7-9:30 p.m. Tickets are $55 and may be purchased at The Tidemark Theatre or on-line at Tidemarktheatre. com. For more information on The Rotary Wine and Blues Fest call 250-287-7465.
Classical music — with a smile Local pianists Carter Johnson and Matthew Krell appear for two nights of music and amusement this Friday and Saturday at Trinity Presbyterian Church. Duet and solo works will be featured, showcasing favourites and premiering new classics spanning the Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern styles. The two performers were raised in Campbell River and studied with Shelley Roberts throughout high school. Both are associates of the Royal Conservatory of Toronto with diplomas in Piano Performance. They have won numerous awards, com-
petitions, and have been honoured at festivals throughout Canada. Matthew Krell has had a love of performing since a young age. In addition to piano, Krell also presents this passion through speech arts and drama, and starred in Rivercity Players’ North Island Zone Drama Festival entry In Praise of Love. Krell is currently developing skills in electronic music production and composition, and preparing for post-secondary education this fall in California. He is an active accompanist and soloist with great audience appeal, noted for his virtuosic repertoire and bold, often
comical stage presence. Carter Johnson, currently studying piano performance at UBC, has been praised for his sensitive, artistic playing and has both competed and performed with orchestras internationally, ranging from Victoria to New York. He also is studying harpsichord and classical voice at UBC and holds an associate’s degree in speech and drama. Come and support these talented youths
through a night of entertainment that is expected to include audience participation. Trinity Presbyterian Church is located at 145 Simms Road. Doors open at 6:40 p.m., with shows beginning at 7 each night. Tickets are $15 for all ages; available at the door. To reserve tickets in advance, email ClassicallyEntertained@yahoo. com with your name and number of desired tickets.

Salsa heats up North Island
www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com
Coastal Black Winery and Gladstone Brewing Company are teaming up to provide spirits for an event Saturday at Coastal Black Winery to build homes for struggling and hard-working local families. This is the first year, but certainly not the last, that Habitat for Humanity-Vancouver Island North will organize Dancing Under the Stars, set for June 6 beginning at 7 p.m. Up to 280 guests will be seated in the Coastal Black Winer y barn surrounded by Latin
American themed décor, dine on Latin American tapas from Beez Kneez Catering, and enjoy the dynamic sounds of Locarno, the LatinAmerican pop infusion band from Vancouver. Karen Bezaire, Communications and Marketing Consultant HFHVIN, wanted to develop a signature yearly event that both communities, Campbell River and Comox Valley, could look forward to; an exciting fundraiser but also an opportunity to give back to Habitat’s supporters, donors and
volunteers. “Once we got started with the planning we were pleasantly surprised to find large dancing communities here in the Valley,” says Bezaire. The event is more of a production with a headliner band coming from Vancouver. Professional dancers from Victoria’s Val Dance Company will be performing along with some dance instruction for those that would like to learn a few Salsa moves. “We have tried to focus on the arts; dance, music, and food with a theme
centered on Latin America. Building homes is something we are passionate about, but so is building community. This event is not only a fundraiser but a chance to bring two communities together,” said Bezaire. The inaugural Dancing Under the Starts event runs until midnight. For more information, visit www.habitatnorthisland.com, or pick up tickets at the ReStore in Campbell River or Courtenay, Gladstone Brewing Company or Coastal Black Winery.
Duet to serve up helping of jazz The Royal Coachman Pub resumes its Sunday Jazz series this weekend with an appearance by pianist Ralph Barrat and guitarist Grant McLellan. For the past several years Barrat has been making a name for himself singing jazz up and down the Island, Vancouver and abroad, crooning with many jazz bands small to big, often seen performing and singing behind a piano. Barrat loves to play and sing fol-
lowing the styling’s of great piano vocalists Nat King Cole, Diana Krall, Harry Connick Jr., Mose Allison and others. As always, you’ll hear classic Sinatra favourites, lots of Duke, accompanied by Barrat’s own sensitive, rhythmic keyboard (piano, organ, vibes). McLellan, on guitar, studied music at Grant McEwan University. After moving to Campbell River in 1990, he developed a private music teaching business with
his own unique approach. He has helped develop many world-class young musicians over the years. Grant has performed many styles of music with countless local groups as a guitar sideman. He now tries to focus mainly on the jazz realm with its endless challenges and surprises. Enjoy a drink or a bite with Barrat and McLellan at the Royal Coachman Pub on Sunday from 1-4 p.m.

John Leonard Pohto
“Lennie” October 26, 1937 – May 23, 2015 It is with great sadness to announce the sudden passing of Len Pohto. He was a devoted and loving husband, dad, pappa, uncle, cousin, friend and a legend in the community of Sointula, as well as the fishing industry. He is predeceased by his mother Hilja Tynjala (nee Huomonen), father Arvi Pohto, brother Wilfed Pohto, and daughter Teija. He is survived by wife Tuula, children Pamela (Glenn), Susan (Mike), Brian (Janet) and Michael (Lisa Marie); grandchildren Ashlynne, Sarrah, Tyler, Melissa, Chelsea, Jonathan and Kaleigh, Len was born in Alert Bay, BC in 1937 and has lived in Sointula all of his life. He spent his early days logging in the winter and fishing in the summer. He started fishing at the age of 16 and bought his first gillnetter at the age of 21. His collection of boats include Taisto, Hazel R No 1, and his current vessel, Sharon Marie No. 1 Lennie enjoyed hockey, often cheering any team that was playing against the Canucks, but more realistically, he silently cheered the team whose roster held Teemu Selanne. He was a member of many local associations and clubs, Fire Department chief, Lions club, Seniors and was a prominent member of the UFAWU. As well, he spearheaded the development of the seniors complex, The Harmony Glenn in Sointula. He was always an active member in the community and always willing to lend a hand when needed. If anyone asked Lennie “Have you lived in Sointula your whole life?” his response was always “No, I’m not dead yet”. He was known to be of quick wit and ready with a joke, making those around him laugh. He had a way of making everyone he met feel welcome. We would like to extend our appreciation and gratitude to the paramedic teams involved, as well as the Critical Care Flight Team, Dr. Armogam and the nursing team at the Port McNeill Hospital. A Celebration of Life will be held in Sointula on June 7, 2015 at 2pm at the F.O Hall. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Malcolm Island Lions Club.

John C. McDougall January 23, 1921 – May 28, 2015 John C. McDougall (Mac, Johnny, Jack, Bus, Bucko) passed away at Evergreen Seniors Home May 28, 2015 at 94 years in Campbell River, BC. Mac was cared for at home by his family until 3 days before his passing. He was born January 23, 1921 in Beamsville, ON. (He called himself an "oatmeal savage" in reference to his Scottish heritage). Predeceased by his parents John and Violet McDougall, infant brother Roy Laverne, brother in law Harold (Shorty) Stirling, sister in law Jo McIntyre and her husband Stuart McIntyre. Family left to celebrate and honour his life – wife of 68 years Phyllis, children Nancy Tsangaris, Laurie (Sue – and grand doggy Jenny) McDougall and Jeanette McDougall; grandchildren Stathi, John (Valetta), Shannon and Patrick; Norma Stirling, sister (95) and numerous great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, nephews and their families. Also many cousins in Canada and United States. Mac trained in Hamilton as a tool and die maker and in 1943 he traveled west for a visit and stayed. Several years were spent at Boeing Aircraft on Sea Island (South Vancouver) followed by 13 months in the Canadian Army with RCEME (Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers). He moved to Sayward where he built and operated a sawmill and later became a logger to supply that sawmill with a reliable source of wood. He and wife Phyl welcomed their three children during their 10 years in Sayward. He operated the Sayward Lumber Co. until 1956 when he moved his family to Campbell River. With his partner Paul Youngston Sr. (deceased), he purchased a building supply and woodworking shop then known as Campbell River Woodworkers. By November 2, 1965, they had built a new building and later changed the name to Campbell River Woodworkers & Builders’ Supplies (1966) Ltd. He retired January 1, 1981. Mac and Phyl enjoyed trips to various overseas countries, and he and Phyl enjoyed many hours boating from British Columbia to Alaska in the Offbeat and Damifino. He was a member of the Sayward School Board and the Campbell River School Board (was instrumental in getting a double sized gym at Phoenix). Mac was also a member of the C.R. Kinsmen, C.R. Gun Club and the Royal Canadian Legion (60 years). He was honoured to be named District Governor for Rotary International local area 502 (now 5020) during 1988-1989, and was recently named a City of Campbell River Community Builder. He was locally well known for his garden which he shared with family, friends and the community. The last planting yielded 1600 ears of corn and he was famous for his Kelsae Sweet 5lb 6” Onions! Thank you to his special coffee buddy Ken Antonelli – he treasured your friendship. Thanks also to nephew Kevin Stirling and family for numerous visits while Mac was in the hospital. Special thanks to close dear friends Al and Marlene Wright. He has gone to that great garden in the sky...to be with special pets Dick, Chaucer, Spanner and Fingal. He will be missed by his buddies at the Liars’ Bench. And will be missed by the close to 150 ducks he fed every year from September to April. In lieu of flowers, if you wish, donations may be made to the Campbell River Hospital Foundation Cardiac Care Endowment, 375 2nd Avenue, Campbell River BC V9W 3V1 or the Campbell River Rotary Club Foundation, PO Box 25072, Campbell River BC V9N 0B7. Respecting Mac’s wishes there will only be a private family Celebration of his Life. However, if you would like, raise a glass of Glenlivet or Chivas Regal and say a toast. And when you hear John McDermott’s version of Danny Boy....remember your old friend. Cremation arrangements supplied by Sutton’s Campbell River Funeral Home.

Kilted Comeau captures Highland novice silver
L
ocal athlete Marc Comeau participated in the 152nd Victoria Highland Games May 18. In his first heavy events competition he narrowly missed first place in the Novice category settling for a hard earned second place finish. The Heavy Events have been contested at Highland Games for centuries, starting with games set up by King Malcolm III of Scotland to select the strongest men in Scotland to serve as his personal bodyguards. Implements used are those that were in use at that period of history, blacksmith’s weight’s, hammers used for driving fence posts, stones from the local rivers and trees cut down by woodsmen. The Heavy events are a true test of not only strength but also skill and athleti-
cism. Putting the Stone Comeau threw 25 ft with the Braemar stone and 28 ft with the Open stone in an event similar to the modern Olympic event of shot putting. In Heavy Events there are two styles, first being the Braemar style – a stone weighing 28 lbs thrown with no approach for distance – and the Open Style – a stone weighing 20 lbs thrown with the option of an approach to gain momentum to further the throw. Weight for Distance Comeau threw the 28lb light weight a distance of 43ft and the 42lb heavyweight 28ft. The athlete uses a spinning technique to throw a steel ball

Gold for Painter at nationals J.R. RARDON
CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Campbell River teen Kelsey Painter is no stranger to the medal podium in high-level judo competition. But the Carihi Grade 9 student made her first ascent to the top step when she claimed gold in the Canadian National Judo Championships in St. Jean-surRichelieu, QC. May 14-17. “This is it,” Painter said, texting a photo of the medal to her parents, Edward and Anita Painter. “I can’t believe I won a gold. I might actually cry.” “She’s not a cryer,” her mom added. Painter, 15, was a bronze medal-winner in last year’s nationals and the winner of silver at both the 2014 U.S. Nationals in Hawaii and the Canada Winter Games held in Prince George earlier this year. “This is by far the biggest one she’s gotten,” Anita Painter said. Kelsey secured her first national championship with a 10-0 win over Quebec’s Léa Lou Giguere-Létourneau to highlight the opening day of competition for Team BC. “JudoBC’s Golden Girl,” Judo BC tweeted, sharing a photo of a smiling Painter holding up her gold medal. Painter blazed through the over-70kg bracket without allowing a point scored against her. She topped Maram Wahba of Quebec 10-0 in the opening round and followed with a 10-0 win over Talani Iwaasa of Team Alberta in the semifinals. “My main goal was to do better than the year before,” Painter said of her nationals debut in 2014. “It was kind of nerve-wracking at first, because more people knew me now. I try not to put too much pres-

and chain with one hand aiming for greatest distance. Throwing the Hammer Comeau was able to throw personal bests of 70 ft 6 inches with the 16lb light hammer and 48ft with the 22lb heavy hammer. The Hammer (a weighted head attached to a 4 ft handle) is spun overhead multiple times and released so that it flies behind the athlete. The Hammers are the furthest thrown of all the events. Weight for Height
Comeau threw a personal best height of 13ft in the weight for height where a 42 lb weight is thrown with one hand overhead for maximum height. This is one of the greatest tests of explosive power in all of the Heavy Events. Sheaf toss In a back and forth battle with the eventual first place finisher Comeau was able to successfully toss up to 21 ft before missing at 22 ft. The sheaf is a 20 pound bundle of straw wrapped in a burlap bag that is tossed vertically with a pitchfork over
a raised bar much like that used in pole vaulting. Tossing the caber This event was the highlight of the day for Comeau. Having never before attempted the caber he was the only athlete in his division to successfully throw in all three attempts; achieving perfect scores in two of them. A caber which is often mistaken for a telephone pole is a section of a tree that tapers from one end to the other. The athlete attempts to pick up the caber and balance it straight up and down.
BC FAMILY FISHING
Once under balance they will start to run and when sufficient momentum is gained attempt to flip it end over end. The caber is not thrown for distance but rather accuracy using the hands of a clock with the goal of the caber flipping and landing straight in line with the direction that was ran, a perfect score being a 12 o’clock. Hot on the heels of his first competition Comeau’s next will be the 2015 BC Highland Games & Scottish Festival, June 20 at in Coquitlam.

sure on myself, but I always do.” The gold-medal bout presented exactly the matchup Painter had hoped and trained for over the past year. In 2014, she met GiguereLétourneau in the match to determine the final berth in the gold-medal match, but lost and was left with the bronze. “The whole time, my goal was to fight her,” said Painter. “When I saw the draw, it was perfect for me, because if I won I’d fight her for the gold medal.” One feature of the event, in addition to its live stream of bouts
online, was the huge video screen in the arena, where athletes’ entrances were shown during their introduction and replays of matches shown. “They had this whole MMA-entry thing; it was really fun,” said Painter. Painter was one of three Campbell River Judo Club teammates competing for Team BC. Haley Henry won her opening bout, employing an arm bar down Alexandra Gagnon of Alberta 10-0 and move into the quarterfinals of the U18-under 57kg women’s division. A loss to Quebec’s Manon Réglat-Arzate dropped Henry to the consola-
tion bracket, where she bowed out with a loss to eventual bronze-medal winner Audrey Caron of New Brunswick. RéglatArzate went on to take the silver. Her younger brother, Anthony Henry, opened Day 2 with Team BC’s first bout, winning by Ippon over Kyle McKay of Saskatchewan in the U16 men’s under-50k class. He dropped a 7-0 decision to Quebec’s Bogdan Jora in the second round, falling to the consolation bracket in a division that drew 17 competitors. Henry bounced back with a 10-0 win over Dan Klausner of Ontario

In 1995, Scott Cessford saw a poster advertising the first Rod Brind’Amour Cystic Fibrosis Golf Classic. He felt that RBC would be able to help and with his business associate Scott Auramenko decided to do as much as they could. So began a very strong connection between RBC, the Golf Classic and the local CF cause. Scott enjoys being part of our community and helping people. He says “RBC has tremendous L to R: Host Rod Brind’Amour, Scott Cessford and guest NHLer products and resources, and along with demanding Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. training and education, I am proud to be able to provide our knowledge and expertise to clients and friends.” He has been with RBC in Campbell River for the past 21 years, was appointed Vice President in 2011, and remains highly motivated in assisting people realize their financial goals and dreams. Wife Tracey and son Ryan share Scott ’s love of Campbell River and his desire to see a cure for CF. You might have noticed the 3 ft high Rod Brind’Amour bobble head at Strathcona Gardens – contributed by Scott. He cites hearing Kim Wood (Black) speak from her CF experience, hearing Rod speak from his heart and being among friends for a great cause as annual event highlights.
