A grizzly bear sighting reported on Quadra Island over the weekend has been confirmed by local RCMP and the Conservation Officer Service. Quadra Island residents first learned of the bear’s arrival from flyers that were posted around the community on Saturday. “Somebody unknown to us left a flyer with a photo of it at the pub,” said Juanita Maclean of Heriot Bay Inn. “It was kind of a hazy, unclear photo, but it sure does look like a grizzly.” Maclean said a distinct lack of “chatter” in the community led her to believe it might be a prank by somebody trying to keep visitors from Morte Lake, where the bear was allegedly seen on a well-used hiking trail. But the sighting was reported to Quadra Island RCMP. The Conservation Officer Service was notified and has confirmed that it is a grizzly bear, RCMP Cpl. Kevin Christensen announced in a written release. Efforts to contact the Conservation Officer Service Tuesday were unsuccessful. There are no native populations of grizzly bears on Vancouver Island or the Discovery Islands, but the B.C. Ministry of Environment has said the string of smaller islands between the mainland and Vancouver Island

The City of Campbell River paid out $15.87 million to its employees and city council members in 2014. That’s $588,020 more than the city paid out in salaries in 2013. As 2014 was an election year, four members of council made significantly less than their counterparts as they were only on the payroll for roughly one month. Topping the list of salary earners among council is former Mayor Walter Jakeway who made $60,985 while accumulating expenses of $3,757. Current Mayor Andy Adams earned $23,837 which accounts for his pay as a councillor and as mayor. Adams had the highest expenses among
council at $5,091. Councillors Ron Kerr and Larry Samson each earned $22,261 in 2014 and spent $2,697 and $3,361 respectively. Former councillors Claire Moglove and Ryan Mennie each earned $21,457 while former Coun. Mary Storry made $20,774 last year. New councillors Michele Babchuk, Charlie Cornfield, Colleen Evans and Marlene Wright all earned $804 and accumulated $317 in expenses each. Councillors earned slightly more last year than in 2013 when they were paid $22,057 for their service. As for city staff, the city paid out $9.5 million to its employees, with the majority of senior staff earning six-figure wages. The highest paid employee was former
city manager Andy Laidlaw who made $182,455, followed by Deputy City Manager Ron Neufeld who earned $150,987 and David Morris, general manager of facilities and supply management, who earned $140,553. Ross Milnthorp, the city’s general manager of parks, recreation and culture, earned $120,469 while Capital Works Manager Jason Hartley made $119,566. Rounding out the list of the toppaid workers is: Amber Zirnhelt, sustainability manager, at $113,032, City Clerk Peter Wipper at $109,385, Transportation Manager Drew Hadfield at $109,292 and Utilities Manager Jennifer Peters, who earned $109,092. Some the city’s highest earners, however, worked outside of City Hall – the city’s firefight-
ers. The top earner at the fire department in 2014 was Fire Chief Ian Baikie with a salary of $132,261, followed by Deputy Fire Chief Chris Vrable who earned $117,850, fire captain Reid Wharton who made $117,229, fire captain Ken Dawson who earned $116,972, Deputy Fire Chief Thomas Doherty who made $116,496 and captain John Baker who brought in $115,467 in remuneration. Ron Bowles, the city’s general manager of corporate services, said the city is doing well financially. “In 2014, we have an increase of $3.8 million in net financial assets, so our organization is moving forward in a positive light,” Bowles said. “We are in good financial health.”
If we’re going to get grizzlies coming onto Vancouver Island, this is where they’d come through.” That year, one grizzly believed to have hibernated on northwest Vancouver Island was spotted in early spring, another was seen just north of Woss, and one grizzly was shot and killed on East Cracroft Island, north of Sayward. There were also sightings on Malcolm Island and at Cluxewe Resort, north of Port McNeill,
which were believed to be the same grizzly. “There have been incidents of individual bears swimming over in the past,” Dan Dwyer of COS said at the time. “We have a very healthy population of grizzly bears in the adjacent mainland coast area and our environmental stewardship folks say that this is an increasing population. They could conceivably do some island hopping.” In previous incidents, a grizzly was shot and killed in the Sayward Val-
ley in 2006, and another was shot and killed after wandering onto the Fort Rupert Indian Reserve near Port Hardy in 2001. Another grizzly spotted just north of Sayward in 2007 was left alone. The C onser vation Officer Service prefers not to intervene if the animals do not pose a threat to public safety. Quadra Island RCMP urged residents and visitors to exercise caution and awareness of their surroundings when hiking in the back woods.

Roy’s parents are Frederick Fullerton from Londonderry, N. Ireland and Evelyn Lee, from Birr, Ireland. I’ve never been there. Maybe you know them. Verna’s folks are Leo Gudmundson from Rivera, Manitoba, and Helen Cunningham from Granet Township, Minnesota. I’ve seen pictures. Life was different back then. Go figure how folks from all over the place get together. It’s still happening. My dad was always fixing things, making things, moving and building on to what he had, or helping a neighbour or family member fix what they had. Busy all the time. My mom was busy all the time too. She was usually stretching the dollars so we could all eat well, or wear new clothes, or clothes she made. My mom could cook for ten or forty, and have it down

They have a place in Phoenix too with nicer winters, but it’s a long way to walk. Anyway, I’d like to say a few words to get the party started, so here’s to my folks, R and V. I hope you guys have many more years together and enjoy them very much. You’ve managed to raise some crazy kids and enjoy some wonderful grandkids.

Proposed changes would leave Campbell River directors with less power KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The Strathcona Regional District is considering changes that would give Campbell River directors less influence over certain votes, and reduce their numbers on the board of directors. Sayward Mayor and director John MacDonald has served notice that he will put forward a motion at Thursday’s Strathcona Regional District board meeting to change the voting structure. MacDonald wants to increase the voting unit, which determines the number of directors and the voting entitlement for all of the areas in the regional district, to create better proportion on the board. Currently, the regional district operates under a voting unit set at 1,500 which means that each of the regional district’s municipalities and electoral areas gets one vote for every 1,500 people that live within its boundaries. Russ Hotsenpiller, the regional district’s chief administrative officer, said, in addition, it affects the number of
directors that each area is allowed to have on the board. “It also means that each area is entitled to appoint a director for every 7,500 of population, based on the requirement that no director may have more than five votes,” Hotsenpiller said. MacDonald’s motion, which will go before the board tomorrow, is to increase the voting unit to 2,500 which means that the number of Campbell River directors who sit on the board would decrease from five to three and those three directors would have 13 votes. Currently, the five Campbell River directors hold 22 votes. It would also reduce the Area D electoral director’s vote to two points from three. The Area C director would retain two votes while all the other electoral area and municipal directors would continue to hold just one vote. This system of weighted votes – where some votes carry more weight than others – is only used when the board votes on certain matters, typically on motions related to finances. Tom Yates, corporate services manager for the
regional district, said the system recognizes that not all areas subscribe to every service. “A system of voting has been devised whereby those areas that participate in – and contribute financially to – a service have a greater say in the decisions related to that service than do nonparticipants,” Yates said. “This principle acknowledges the fact that an
area’s financial contribution level to the region is an important consideration for establishing equity but not the only consideration.” Campbell River holds approximately 67 per cent of the weighted vote on financial matters, which is a greater percentage than any other municipality on any other regional district board in B.C.

the June 10 board meeting. “They’re the ones that created the problem in the first place, they eliminated directors. They’re the ones who did this to us, they need to come in and clean up their mess. We can’t fix it while we have this imbalance on our board.” Yates said it’s unknown why, when the Comox Strathcona Regional District became two entities,
that the province set the voting unit at 1,500 for both the Comox Valley Regional District and the Strathcona Regional District. Prior to that, the C om ox St r at h c on a Regional District operated under a 2,500 voting unit. The province also eliminated an electoral area at the time of the Strathcona Regional District’s creation.

Brenda Leigh, director for Area D, said things will never change unless the province, which established the 1,500 voting unit when the Strathcona Regional District was formed, takes control. “If we think things are unfair on this board with how things are running, then we need to ask the province to come in and examine it,” Leigh said at

Record low flow forces down dam discharge The Campbell River watershed set a new record this month. But that’s not a good thing. With record-low water amounts flowing into the river system, BC Hydro announced Monday it was beginning a dramatic reduction in discharge from John Hart dam. From Monday, when outflow levels were at 57 cubic metres per second (m3/s), the discharge will be steadily reduced until reaching about 32 m3/s Saturday. That will leave flow levels downstream of the hydroelectric facilities at about a third of their typical level for this time of year. The move is being made to save available water storage as the flow of water coming into the reservoir system slows to a trickle. “The water inflows into the Campbell River system are currently
around 16-18 m3/s, and this shatters the previous record low of 40 m3/s (1981) over about 52 years of record,” BC Hydro spokesperson Stephen Watson said. The previous record low was set in 1981. In recent weeks BC Hydro had been releasing about 3.5 times the amount of water down the Campbell River as had been entering the upper watershed. Even with the steep reduction, flows will still be twice the amount that’s currently entering the system. “Being in June we would normally be in the middle of the freshet but essentially there’s been no snow melt into the system,” Watson said. “BC Hydro has managed, and will continue to manage the system, as best as possible for water use interests like fish habitat and recreation.”
Water levels at Upper Campbell Lake will fall throughout the coming summer.
But, as BC Hydro warned in summer projections announced a month ago, it will not be an ideal situation on either side of the dam. BC Hydro has been able to provide just enough water downstream of John Hart over the spring season for fish rearing and out-migration into the ocean. It has fallen far short of target flows, but the amount has been appropriate given the weather conditions, Watson said. The conditions are
also looking bleak for reservoir recreation this summer with record low reservoir levels for this time of year. The Lower Campbell Reservoir/McIvor Lake is currently at 176.1 metres, a record low for this time of year in 52 years of records. And it will stay at record lows this summer, perhaps lowering to about 175.4 metres by the end of September. BC Hydro’s Water Use Plan targets reser voir elevations between 176.5 metres
and 177.5 metres from now through September 10. The Upper Campbell Reservoir/Buttle Lake is currently 216.6 metres and has just entered a record low level for this time of year. This much larger storage reservoir will also set record lows through the summer period, and may draft below 215 metres by the end of September. Just a month ago, BC Hydro was forecasting levels near 217 metres through September. “The Water Use Plan targets reservoir elevations between 217 metres and 220.5 metres from now through September 10, and prefers that it be between 219-219.5 metres,” said Watson. “That means conditions will be up to four metres lower than preferred.” This all translates to a lot more sand and rock around the shorelines
and more of a walk to get to the water. It will be harder to put watercraft in the reservoir, and for those watercraft, a more exposed reservoir bottom with navigation obstacles will await. In normal seasons, Campbell River benefits from diversion from the Quinsam and/or Salmon River systems. But both are extremely low with flows rates of 1 m3/s or less. No water has been diverted into the Campbell River system from the Quinsam River diversion since March 29, and from the Salmon River diversion since May 3, Watson said. For the Quinsam River and the upper Wokas dam, BC Hydro has received a series of water licence variances from the Comptroller of Water Rights over the past few months to proactively react to these drought conditions. The mini-
mum licence flow for May through October is 1 m3/s but the variance allows flows down to about 0.3 m3/s. Ideally, when the pink salmon arrive to spawn in late August, the flow rate will be increased to 0.7 m3/s. But that is subject to water and weather conditions later this summer and the potential risks of running out of water storage. Besides impacts on fish and recreation, the low water levels are also impacting BC Hydro’s power generation. On the nearby Puntledge River hydroelectric system, on June 16, BC Hydro shut down power generation to conserve water within the Comox Lake reservoir. The John Hart generating station will be running at about 20-25 per cent of capacity — the lowest operating level within BC Hydro’s water licence.

Our View
Grads deserve congratulations How does that old song go? No more pencils, no more books, no more teachers’ dirty looks? At the end of the 2014-15 school year, we’d like to congratulate all of Campbell River’s graduating high school students. It’s worth celebrating that hundreds of educated, intelligent and capable young people from our community are marking a rite of passage into the rest of their lives. A lot of people will tell these grads that their diploma and cap and gown mark a beginning, not an end, and there’s truth to that. But that shouldn’t diminish this achievement. High school graduation is no small victory and it’s important that we recognize and appreciate these kinds of victories, because they don’t happen every day. In many ways, high school is the hardest thing we ever do, and we’re not just talking about scraping through Physics 12. We’re talking about scraping through Physics 12, while at the same time trying to eat lunch with the cool kids, wear the right style of jeans and get a date for prom. It’s a balancing act and it’s tricky, but we think high school is supposed to be hard. Students wonder when they’ll ever need to apply trigonometry lessons to real life. Well, it’s not so much about solving the equations as it is the problems and the challenges. We hope that Campbell River’s grads will go forward actively challenging themselves and their potential. Congratulations, grads, on this achievement. You did it. -Black Press

It appears that the low-water situation on Vancouver Island has left BC Hydro facing a pretty kettle of fish. At least there are still fish in the kettle — for now. Historic low flows coming down from the mountains, resulting from the combination of a virtually snow-free winter and lack of spring rains, has forced Hydro officials into a rather unpleasant juggling act. On one side are the recreational users of the lakes above John Hart dam, who are going to find boat-launch access and navigable waters more difficult to find as the shoreline recedes into the lakes. On the other are the fish that have given Campbell River its unofficial title of Salmon Capital of the World — and a fair chunk of economic boost, as well.

Re: Introduction of B.C.’s climate action leadership team. I drive a 3.0 litre turbo charged diesel engine. Recently the B.C. government out of the blue increased the speed limit on their main highways from 110 km to 120 km per hour, against what I understand is the safety wishes of the police. If I choose to drive at the new speed limit, I will output an additional 81 litres (158.76 gms or .35 lbs) of carbon dioxide per minute to the atmosphere. Along with the B.C. carbon tax worth 6.67 cents per litre, Premier Christy Clark wishes to set up a climate action leadership team to reduce the province’s carbon footprint whilst, at the same time, enact policies that increase it. It seems that any movement on introducing climate change policies of any kind is difficult other than charging the public more taxes on fuel. It will be interesting to see what the new provincial government task force, with all of its experts, will come up with after the recent – what I consider a retrograde – environmental step of increasing the speed limit.

ing fresh produce. But lawns can survive a yellow summer and pop back to life when the rains return. How shiny does your vehicle need to be; can you hold off longer between washes? If we get to Stage 3 restrictions, every turn of the tap will matter. By this weekend, BC Hydro will be operating the John Hart generating station at 25 per cent of capacity, a low mark for this time of year. Another hydroelectric project on the North Island, the Kokish run-of-river facility partly owned by the ‘Namgis First Nation, is also unable to divert water to it turbines when flows fall below those needed to sustain fish populations. The less energy we’re getting from renewable sources, of course, means more we’re drawing from facilities powered by coal and other fossil fuels, which brings us back to the aforementioned greenhouse gas elephant. If this keeps up, though, we can probably be assured of continued power generation from North Vancouver Island’s Cape Scott Wind Farm. Because it certainly seems an ill wind is blowing this summer.

Speaker brings legislative lesson to local schools
www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com
Students at Cedar, Quadra and Sayward elementary schools were among those treated to a lesson in parliamentary democracy when the Honourable Linda Reid, Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of BC, visited their communities this month as part of the “Speaker in the Schools” educational outreach program. Dressed in her robes and as a non-partisan representative of the Legislative Assembly, the Speaker brings a unique credibility and perspective to this program that is geared towards children in grade five and six. Reid engaged the children in a mock parliament, debating ‘bills’ on issues important to them and their communities, such as graduated licens-
ing and bear hunting quotas. Teachers in the participating classrooms were sent a teaching package in advance to prepare the students and help produce a successful visit in which students were challenged, interested and participated in discussion. At each school, students donned the robes and assumed the parts of Speaker of the House, Clerks of the House, Sergeant-at-Arms, and members of the legislative assembly to experience what it is like to consider and debate a bill in the BC Legislature. The debates were lively and inclusive, as children voiced their opinions and voted on motions. “As a former teacher I enjoy visiting classrooms and engaging children

around our democratic system,” said Reid. “I trust some of these children will be inspired to serve in the public
domain.” Students debated a fictional bill on whether or not all school districts should be required
to purchase iPads for every student, teacher and administrator in the province to improve classroom technology
and student learning. Cedar Elementary’s mock legislature had a lively discussion initiated by pretend Minister of Technology Jordan Shaw, overseen by pretend Speaker of the House Chantelle Lebeuf, and ‘recorded’ by clerks Savannah McKinnon and Daniel Knowles. Students weighed the merits of improved technology against a funding implication of no arts, sports, and field trip opportunities for at least five school years with student MLAs taking turns to speak, both for and against. Student Sky John’s speech, in her role as an opposition MLA, even prompted a hug from the real Madame Speaker. The local stops were part of a three-day tour of North Vancouver
Island. It included visits by the Speaker to both Eagle View Elementary and Gwa’sala’Nakwaxda’xw School in Port Hardy. Reid was join at all five schools by North Island MLA Claire Trevena, who added her own perspective as an elected member in the Official Opposition, explaining what’s involved in representing her constituents in Victoria. The intention of the Speaker in the Schools parliamentary education program is to bring lessons on democracy to classrooms that may have more difficulty, because of distance, in making a trip to parliament in Victoria. Previously, Speaker Reid has visited Haida Gwaii, Williams Lake and 150 Mile House.

SD 72 extends deadline to City looking for volunteers register for summer school
The Campbell River School District has extended the registration deadline for Summer School to this Friday, June 26. Parents still interested in enrolling their students may peruse the course offerings listed on the School District 72
website at www.sd72. bc.ca Summer School runs through the month of July. Summer programs offer students the chance to catch up on and solidify their understanding in key content areas. There are courses available at
the elementary, middle and high school levels, as well as online learning opportunities available. Some programs run for the entire month; others for two-week sessions. Space is limited and offered on a firstcome, first-served basis.
The program is directed by principals Rob Hatfield and Christopher Hayduk. Registration forms are available from your child’s school office or can be downloaded from the School District 72 website at www.sd72. bc.ca
The city is establishing a public art subcommittee and invites applications from people interested in helping create a public art program in Campbell River. “The public art program will enrich our community by supporting the arts, cultivating an even stronger sense of culture and heritage and building on beautifica-
tion efforts in Campbell River,” says Coun. Ron Kerr, who holds the culture and heritage portfolio for council. “The subcommittee will have a very important role in determining the direction of the city’s art program, and we encourage people interested in sharing their expertise to apply to work with this group.”

JOHN HART PROJECT COMMUNITY SITE EVENT BC Hydro
BC Hydro and InPower BC, the project contractor, are pleased to invite you to the John Hart Generating Station Replacement Project community event. This event will provide the community and beyond with a once a year opportunity to see the construction site and watch the project evolve through 2018. Come and see the exciting work on this legacy project for Campbell River and BC Hydro.
How to get there: The only permitted way to get to the site is by bus. There will be seven school buses operating and the pick-up will be on Shoppers Row, directly in front of Spirit Square. The buses will start at 9:30 a.m. and pick-up people about every five to ten minutes until 2:30 p.m. They will run continuously in a loop from Shoppers Row to the construction site, to the interpretive centre area, and then back downtown. People must be seated on the bus at all times. Bus transportation costs are being covered by the project.
Safety around the construction site: Construction activity will be shut down for this event so people can walk around the defined areas, including walking partly down the two underground portal entries (there will be no access into the tunnels), and
•
Project staff will be wearing safety vests and will be happy to provide project overviews and answer your questions. We encourage you to take pictures.
Displays and activities at the interpretive centre area include the interpretive centre, Museum at Campbell River puppet show and crafts, BBQ, booth displays (BC Parks, City of Campbell River, Rotary Club, BC Hydro Power Pioneers, Chamber of Commerce, and others), and a bucket ride in a BC Hydro line truck. The John Hart Project Interpretive Centre will provide the project overview.
Estimated attendees and a request for your patience:

The John Hart Project is a popular project across Vancouver Island. It is very difficult to gauge and prepare for the number of people that may attend. Estimates range from 500 to 2,500 people. The site is not conducive for parking given its narrow orientation and construction areas. Busing people to the site, with a transportation capacity of about 2500 people over the five hours, was determined to be the best and safest way.
Nominate deserving businesses, organizations and individuals today! Self-nominations are also accepted.
The John Hart Project team is looking forward to seeing you on July 12!

City’s homeless face city council KRISTEN DOUGLAS
CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
A group of the city’s homeless, who camped out on the front lawn of City Hall earlier this month, got its chance to speak to city council this week. Patricia John, who helped arrange the protest which began on the evening of June 4 and broke up June 7, told council at its Monday meeting that the group wants the city to be more involved in the plight of the city’s homeless. One of their main concerns is the uncertainty surrounding the extreme weather shelter which closed in March. “The emergency homelessness shelter was full to capacity this past winter, yet we have been told that there is no funding to re-establish the shelter this winter,” John told council. “We want to know if there will be an emergency shelter this winter and where it will be located.” For the past two years, the temporary shelter has been set up on the empty lot next to the downtown fire hall. But that’s no longer an option as the city recently swapped that property with Discovery Chiropractic for its land on Fir Street. Mayor Andy Adams said that council was also told last year by the provincial minister responsible for housing, Rich Coleman, that 2014 would be the last year the province would provide
funding for the shelter. Ad a m s , h o w e v e r, assured John that council would find a way to resurrect the shelter. “We will work to find a location to get that shelter up for next winter,” Adams said. “I can tell you this council will continue to work with (local) agencies and continue to lobby the provincial government to ensure we have the funds for an emergency shelter this winter. Where that’s going to be, we have a couple of months to figure that out.” John said the homeless group is also concerned about rumours that plans for a new sobering assessment centre are on hold. “We have been told that the sobering assessment centre is on hold because of concerns raised by businesses in the area,” John said. “We are concerned that the project will not go ahead.” The centre, which would not function as an overnight shelter, would assess clients in the middle of their addiction and put them in an interim bed until they’re fit to go to the Salvation Army’s shelter on Evergreen, where all clients must be sober. Adams told John that while there have been concerns, plans are still going forward. “As far as council’s concerned, there has been no change,” Adams said. “But I can tell you that for this coming winter it wasn’t in the plans for the sobering assessment centre because the land
swap we negotiated won’t be available for well over a year from now.” Coun. Larry Samson, who is the chair of the city’s public safety subcommittee, assured John that the sobering assessment centre is still a priority. “You have no better champions in moving this project forward,” Samson said. “It’s brought to our attention every time by the RCMP inspector and the fire chief that this has to be one of our top priorities. “So I’m not sure where the rumour came from that it was on hold because it’s not on hold for the public safety subcommittee. We are pushing for it, it’s just a matter of how quickly we can get it up and running,” Samson added. In the meantime, John said the homeless group not only continues to struggle with the loss of the extreme weather shelter but also the elimination of the breakfast program run out of Radiant Life Church. “Radiant Life Church’s breakfast club program was recently shut down because of a loss of fund-
ing,” John said. “The homeless no longer have a place to go in the morning.” Radiant Life Pastor Art Van Holst said in the past Campbell River Family Services provided $35,000 via the Island Health homelessness initiative funds, and BC Housing chipped in another $35,000. But Van Holst said because last year saw such a mild winter, not every night met the criteria for funding from BC Housing and as a result, only half of that funding came through. Van Holst said the program costs about $1,500 a month which pays for food, someone to cook the food, and overhead costs such as heating. “We have had someone come forward who has said they would give us $500 for food so if we had another $1,200 that would be enough to continue the program for the year,” Van Holst told council. Adams said council will look into the situation. “It was the one thing that caught us off guard,” Adams said. “Council was not apprised to the breakfast club.”

Go Behind the Gold Veil Meet artist Rande Cook and learn more about his exhibition with University of Victoria professor Dr. Andrea Walsh at the Campbell River Art Gallery tomorrow at 7 p.m. Cook’s exhibition, Behind the Gold Veil, has been thrilling visitors to the gallery since it opened May 15. The exhibition features contemporary art works, entrenched in Northwest Coast First Nations traditions, using wood, glass and metal – particularly gold. The Campbell River Art Gallery is the first gallery to show this collection of new work, created specifically for this exhibition. The exhibition has also resulted in a collaborative critical essay created by Cook and Walsh, a visual and cultural anthropologist at the University of Victoria. Cook (K’alapa) pushes himself in numerous mediums, seeking perfection in each technique. His work is held in galleries and collections around the world. He was born in May, 1977 in Alert Bay and began creating works at an early age. His grandparents Gus and Florence Matilpi instilled in him his strong values of life and culture. In 2008, Cook inherited his grandfather’s chieftainship. As well as his contemporary art practice, Cook is known for his traditional dancing and singing at potlatches. He credits numerous teachers – from First Nations artists John Livingston, Robert Davidson and Calvin Hunt to contemporary master Valentin Hotkov – with mentoring him on his artistic journey. Cook has studied at home, as well as in Italy and New York. He now lives in Victoria. Come and learn more about Behind the Gold Veil at the Campbell River Art Gallery at 7 p.m, Thursday, June 25 – the last day of this important exhibition. Cook and Walsh will discuss the evolution of the exhibition as experienced in Cook’s studio,

Canadian Blood Services provides a safe, secure, cost-effective, affordable and accessible supply of quality blood, blood products and their alternatives. Canada is selfsufficient in blood and we are working to be self-reliant in plasma. Emerging risks and best practices are monitored continuously. Our blood and blood products are safe and of quality. We help hospitals improve blood utilization and surveillance. Donors actively support us and our donor base is strong and our volunteers continue to play a critical and meaningful role. When you give blood, you give life. Life for surgical patients, hemophiliacs, accident victims and cancer patients. It may even mean life for you or a family member someday. It’s so easy to do and takes only a few minutes, yet it means so much. What’s Your Blood Type? Everyone has two genes that determine their blood type, it’s passed on from parents to children, just like eye colour. While each parent has two genes, they contribute only one apiece. This process of combination can sometimes lead to children having different blood types than their parents. This chart shows your possible blood type based on the type of your parents. O negative (O-) is the universal donor type, which means it can be transfused to anyone in need. That’s why it’s always in high demand — it’s used in emergency situations when there is no time to test a patient’s blood type. People with AB+ blood are known as universal recipients, meaning they can receive blood from anyone. To find out more information on Blood, Stem Cells, Core Blood, Organs & Tissues, Financial Donations, Hospitals and Volunteering visit www.blood.ca.

tional Canadian, Irish and Scottish music, along with modern tunes and songs, some by members of the family. Their concerts appeal to all ages and present an inspiring variety of music and instrumentation with skill, joy and good humour. The O’Schraves have also played for regular dances in their home region of Ontario for the last eight years, and in 2014 the group toured the southern U.S. playing for contra dances. Unfortunately,
the only dancing there’ll be room for at Gardeners Green is in your seat. So join them for a toe-tapping great concert on the 15th. Tickets are $20, available by e-transfer or you can pick them up in person. Tickets include hot drinks and a lovely spread of desserts. A perfect and memorable way to spend a midsummer’s evening. As this is a house concert, ticket numbers are limited. For more info and tickets, please give us a ring at 250-337-5337.

Those wild Quadra Islanders who brought you Little Shop of Horrors (above featuring from left: Nancy Belliveau, Kari–Lynn Overtine and Heidi Ridgway) are daring – Daring! – to bring Rocky Horror Picture Show to the area this fall. – Gasp! – Auditions are being held June 28.
Ten-year dream to stage Rocky Horror realized Is the River City ready for Rocky Horror live? Well after 10 years of pitching the play to the local theatre companies Heidi Ridgway is thrilled to announce Rocky Horror Show will be Theatre Quadra’s Fall Production. Auditions and initial production meeting will be this Sunday June 28 at 1 and 2 p.m. at The Quadra Island Legion on West road in Heriot Bay. The production will be performed at the Quadra Community Centre the weekend of Halloween 2015 with rehearsals starting at the end of August. Everyone is welcome and no experience necessary. If you are interested in helping behind the scenes, come at 1 p.m. and if you want to be on stage please come at 2 p.m. There is opportunites for construction, costumes, props and more. The cast includes singers, dancers and actors and hopefully
some true triple threats! For those Campbell Riverites interested in coming out to play, carpools from the ferry can be arranged. The chorus will sing as a group but those auditioning for lead roles should expect to sing solo. Feel free to prepare a piece or just come as you are. Let’s all do the Time Warp Again! It has taken 10 years of trying to convince a Theatre Company that Campbell River and then Quadra Island was ready for Rocky Horror Picture Show which contains strong adult themes. Rocky Horror Picture Show was written and scored by Richard O’Brien. It was first presented on Broadway in March 1975. The movie version staring Susan Sarandon and Tim Currie was released later that year and became a cult classic. Ridgway remembers seeing the film when it originally

aired at the tender age of 11 and has been fascinated ever since! This year will be the show’s 40th anniversary with events planned all year including a Convention in New York. The movie has played to rave crowds at the Tidemark Theatre recently helping to inspire Ridgway to give it one last kick at the can to bring this hilariously entertaining production to the Quadra Island and Campbell River audiences. Although Ridgway has a background in dance, she has been actively involved in Theatre since moving to Quadra Island from Vancouver. She was president of Rivercity Players for three years and was most recently involved with the newlyreimagined Theatre Quadra. Ridgway has produced, acted and choreographed many productions but this will be her directoral debut so she has enlisted the
assistance and expertise of Lori Lewis as her codirector. She is thrilled at a chance to produce, direct and choreograph this super fun play. Together with co-director Lori Lewis they hope to create a feast for the senses. Lewis is Kwaguilth, from the We Wai Kai Nation, Cape Mudge Village. She is an educator and filmmaker with an extensive background in theatrical production and acting that includes a BFA in Acting Specialization from University of Victoria. She is an Award winning director for Niigaanibatowaad: FrontRunners for APTN and the Short Film: My Cousin Lived Next Door., which is where she first met and worked with Ridgway. So you be the judge this Halloween when the Quadra Island and Campbell River audiences are exposed to this warped ride.

Two different concept plans to upgrade the Strathcona Gardens recreational complex were shared with guests at an open house recently.
Strathcona Gardens facelift plan unveiled KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Strathcona Gardens open house attendees got a first look at two different concepts being put forward to improve the recreation complex. The preliminary plans were presented by consultant GDH Solutions at an open house June 11. The first option proposes to build an wellness centre with a therapy pool, fitness and exercise room as well as a welcome centre for reception and information. The plan also includes the addition of multipurpose rooms, improved and expanded pool change rooms,
i nc re a s e d pro g r am options and improved access to both upstairs and downstairs levels at Strathcona Gardens. The second concept involves the revitalization of Rod Brind’Amour Arena, new and improved change rooms, as well as improved and expanded seating at the arena. The open house was the final piece of the facility needs assessment which began earlier this year. The pro cess als o involved a community survey in which Campbell River and Area D residents expressed a desire for better arena change rooms, improved spectator seating at Rod
Brind’Amour Arena, another sheet of ice, and dryland training areas. Survey respondents also identified a need for more lanes and a larger deck at the main pool, a bigger men’s change room, more family change rooms, more amenities at the pool, as well as more pool time. The facility needs assessment was prompted by the Strathcona Gardens Commission’s review last year of a study that was done in the fall of 2004. That study provided the commission with three options for seating at Rod Brind’Amour Arena – two of which involve renovating the existing arena and one
which recommends building a new arena at Strathcona Gardens. The study also provided conceptual drawings for a wellness centre to be built beside the swimming pool. Yves Bienvenu, Strathcona Gardens facility manager, suggested the facility needs assessment be done before the Strathcona Regional District commit to any large renovations. Wit h t he facility needs assessment now wrapped up, GDH Solutions will compile all of the information it has collected and prepare a final report which it is expected to provide to the Strathcona Gardens Commission in July.

CAMPBELLTON
What’s next for Campbellton transit? By John Twigg, Secretary Campbellton Neighbourhood Association Now that the Elk Falls Suspension Bridge has successfully opened as a powerful new tourist attraction, the logical question is “what’s next?” The answer could well become a new shuttle bus service based in Campbellton! The idea of a shuttle bus to and from the suspension bridge was mentioned in a May 8 opening-day statement by Rotary Club president Lorrie Bewza, who was chair of the project committee for the approximately six years it took to conceive, fund and finally build the bridge and related facilities for about $750,000 (a bargain, aided by several key donors). But Bewza also mentioned a Phase 2 project when he appeared on my Talk About show on Shaw

TV and that is to add new hiking trails from the north side of the bridge to connect with the Moose Falls area to the north and south to the trails on the east side of the Campbell. The appeal is that a loop avoids people having to retrace their steps. So the addition of those two new hiking loops will be a further boost to tourism in the region but that looping concept also could be an asset for other aspects, notably transit. A letter published recently in the Mirror advocated the addition of a shuttle bus that would run up to Elk Falls from the Campbell River terminal for the Quadra Island ferry but perhaps that concept could be extended all the way to Willow Point where

activists have been promoting an upgrading of the existing seawalk by adding carvings as permanent displays and an upgraded end point associated with the Willow Point Hall and Anne Elmore Cottage.

Or up the road and between the bridges where there also could be a dandy new visitor information centre? Such questions could be answered by appropriate professional studies but in any case now is the time to start thinking about future transit innovations in, around and through Campbellton.

to jobs or activities or going shopping. Thus there also could be stops at shopping centres, Haig-Brown House, the Quinsam River confluence and other spots, especially convenient transit connections. And of course the best hub for such a shuttle bus would be somewhere in the middle of it all, which happens to be Campbellton, where there also are several suitable sites that are now vacant land crying out for redevelopment, notably a cluster of large government-owned lots between the two bridges, the

be allowed by the landowner, the Campbell River Indian Band. But ideally those extended walking and hiking paths would also be serviced by a new and affordable shuttle bus, perhaps running at first only three or four times a day but then adding runs as demand rises. That’s because a shuttle bus would make it a lot easier for tourists to make oneway walks and not be required to double back. Such a shuttle bus of course could be used by others too, such as local residents commuting

Jemima Hamilton, Nicolas Toupin and Russell Demerse are thrilled to bring you exciting puppet shows this summer at the Museum at Campbell River.
Museum’s cast of characters return
T
he Museum at Campbell River’s famous Puppet Shows are finally back. Starting on June 30, puppets like Skookum Sal, Roderick Haig-
Brown, and other colourful characters from Campbell River’s past will once again share their stories! Performances will be held in the Museum’s theatre every Tuesday
and Thursday at 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. starting June 30 and ending Aug. 20. The cost is $2 per person, and children ages two and younger enter for free.
Call 250-287-3103 for more information or email summer.programs@crmuseum.ca. Shows are 20 minutes long, and are subsequently followed by a craft.
A bit off the top
Simm’s Creek Stewards volunteers participated in the annual fin-clipping at Quinsam Hatchery last week, assisting staff to mark 2,500 Coho salmon smolt, which will be released later this year into Simm’s Creek. The sdipose fin is not critical to locomotion for the fish, and is clipped off once the tiny fish have been anesthetized. When adult salmon return and are caught, the absence of this fin lets fisherman know that they have pulled in a hatchery fish rather than one hatched wild in a stream.

gram in Campbell River which also benefits some of our local residents. Outdoor Addictions, in conjunction with the Salvation Army have initiated a new program to re-use your retired running shoes. Bring your used running shoes with you when you buy a new pair of running shoes at Outdoor Addictions,
and they will give you a $10 discount on the purchase and deposit your old shoes in a recycle bin to be donated to the Salvation Army. “It’s a great way to give back to the community,” say’s Captain Gord Taylor. All they ask is that the runners be in re-usable condition not totally destroyed and if possible washed.

High Profile Speakers at the Business Leader Luncheons
Kris Mailman Sr. shares inspired business story The Chamber’s Business Leader Luncheon with high profile local business and community leader, Kris Mailman Sr., CEO of Seymour Pacific Developments and Broadstreet Properties was a sold out success. The luncheon was hosted in the state of the art Seymour Pacific building. Kris was engaging and inspiring sharing insights and inspiring stories on how his family businesses were founded on hard work, strong family values and a progressive vision. His story traces its roots back to his 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. In 1983 Kris and his wife Cheryl took over Mailman Construction from Kris’ father. Over the next 10 years, Kris and Cheryl grew their business in Campbell River, building an average of more than 20 single-family homes each year. They later diversified into subdivision development, duplexes and, eventually, their first rental apartment complex. Throughout the remainder of the 1990s and early 2000s, Kris and Cheryl expanded into 12 cities across four provinces, accumulating an impres-
sive portfolio of 2,000 units. Seymour Pacific Developments earned a reputation as specialists in four-story, wood construction apartment complexes.

Choose Your Dues Level with Tiered Chamber Membership We have responded to our members by providing a new tiered dues structure with three options. Members are able to ‘choose’ their membership level based on the tier with the services and benefits that best meet their needs. New Model Reflects Member’s Choice • Members want to choose the benefits and services they need and be able to clearly see what those options are • Member needs evolve as they move through their business cycle and they want to renew their membership annually based on what their business needs are at that time • Members want to get benefits without having to show up • Members want bottom-line benefits with a return on investment • Members want to know their contribution and business is appreciated at any level • Members want to show their support for the impact and role of the Campbell River Chamber and reflect that in their choice of tier “The return on my investment by belonging to the Campbell River Chamber has grown year over year. I don’t always have time to attend all events but I want to support the good work that the Chamber is doing to help my business succeed by creating a positive business climate and strengthening the local economy,” sates Gary Thulin of Pioneer Home Hardware, who has chosen to renew at the Growth Tier. We look forward to meeting with our members and businesses in the community to support them in deciding which tier will best suit their needs and will bring them closer to accomplishing their goals for 2015. More information about the tier structure is available on the Chamber website at www.campbellriverchamber.ca.
Business Showcase a Great Success The Chamber’s Annual Business Showcase & After Hours Networking event was held last month with excellent reviews from exhibitors. The event provided the opportunity for over 20 local businesses to showcase their products and services to fellow exhibitors and the community while networking with community leaders, business professionals and potential customers all at once! What some of the 2015 Exhibitors had to say: “We made some great contacts. The speed networking event was highly effective. One solid booking for a tasting party for 14! That alone made the event worthwhile. It was a good way to increase profile, especially for a new business,” Signature Oil & Vinegar.
“We found that the Business Showcase was an excellent way to showcase our paper shredding and scanning business, We will be back next year,” Confidential Paper shredding and Scan Now. “We were able to showcase what we do sell. One of the big things was we sell Life Insurance which not many people new about so that was a real plus,” Vancouver Island Insurance Centres. The 2016 Business Showcase & After Hours Networking event is scheduled for Thursday, May 12. Businesses can begin saving their spot for the 2016 tradeshow event now by contacting the Chamber at 250-287-4636.
Advocating on behalf of your business The Campbell River Chamber of Commerce met with business leaders from across BC in Prince George last month to set a new policy agenda for the BC Chamber of Commerce’s advocacy efforts with the Province. At the session representatives from Chambers of Commerce from across the province called for a more transparent approach to taxation in BC, innovation in regional solid waste management; and community and local government policies on rebalancing municipalities and regional districts and for a provincial role in municipal restructuring, amongst others. A series of policies were passed at the BC Chamber Annual General Meeting (AGM) and Conference. This unique policy-building forum brought together chambers from all corners of the province which engaged in vigorous debate and adopted new policies affecting business operations throughout BC. Policies that are adopted become part of the BC Chamber’s advocacy agenda. This year, delegates voted on nearly 50 proposed policies. 2015 Policies that were adopted by recommendation include: • Promoting Innovation in Regional Solid Waste Management • A More Transparent Approach to Taxation in B.C. • Rebalancing Municipalities and Regional Districts • Provincial Role in Municipal Restructuring. • Making Tourism funding more secure While addressing the issue of developing a more transparent approach to taxation in the province Winter said, “There is an erosion of public trust around taxation decisions, Chambers recommend the provincial government commit to a provincial dialog on tax in BC to determine what is the appropriate mix and type of taxes and levies need to pay for programs and services.” “Developing policy and advocating on behalf of our local businesses is an important role that Campbell River Chamber takes in support of the issues and concerns that are brought forward by our local Chamber members,” stated Corby Lamb, Campbell River Board Chair. Campbell River Chamber Board Chair, Corby Lamb, has been invited to sit on the BC Chamber Board Policy Committee representing Campbell River and Vancouver Island.
