Students around the Campbell River School District (SD72) are excited about various upcoming field trips, including many which will see them leave the country. But with recent changes in U.S. entrance policies and procedures, there have been questions about whether those particular trips are still on. Many school districts around the province – and the country – have been canceling trips to the U.S., concerned that some of their students will have issues crossing the border. SD72 international students are currently scheduled to travel to Seattle next week and a group of Carihi students are scheduled for an arts trip to New York City from May 17 to 24. District Assistant Superintendent Nevenka Fair told the board at this week’s public meeting that there have been no changes to those plans as of yet, but they are certainly aware of the possible complications, and won’t hesitate to cancel a trip if there’s a possibility any student will have entry issues during any trip. “We wanted to let you know, because there’s lots of stuff in the news right now about trips to the U.S., particularly, that the district is keeping abreast of any new information regarding travel advisories to all countries outside of Canada,” Fair said. “I know the Victoria (school) board has put out a statement that said there are no trips to the U.S. because they’d like to see more clarity and certainty around exactly what those bans look like,” Fair said. SD72 hasn’t gone to that extent, Fair said, “but at this point if there is any indication – any hint – that maybe a student will not be accepted, then there won’t be a trip,” and she urges parents to contact their child’s teachers or the school board if they have any concerns surrounding this issue.

Restoration of destroyed wetlands could get underway this summer KRISTEN DOUGLAS Campbell River Mirror
The city and the property owners – who damaged sensitive wetlands south of Jubilee Parkway – have confirmed a plan to restore the infilled wetland starting as early as this summer. The solution, which involves restoration as well as compensation to the city, meets provincial restoration requirements and has been agreed upon by both the city and owner/developer, Parkway Properties. Terri Martin, the city’s environmental specialist, said the city intends to keep the lines of communication open with both the property owners and the public as the restoration work unfolds. “Staff’s approach is to work with Parkway Properties in a transparent and results oriented fashion to have a complete development permit package in place in time to meet the 2017 summer work window,” Martin said. “Staff had a positive meeting with Parkway Properties to discuss the framework and all are agreed to this direction.” Martin wrote in a report to council that the city met with Daniel Smallacombe, the Campbell River field unit supervisor for the provincial government, on Jan. 13 and “he was supportive of the compensation/restoration solution endorsed by council, noting we’ve come a long way.” In December, council approved a restoration and compensation plan that includes the creation of 1.16 hectares of non-fen wetland in roughly the same location as the original 2.2 ha of wetland that was disturbed by Parkway. The damage occurred between 2006 and 2012 when the wetland – a type of peat land – was infilled with mineral soils as developers worked on a potential extension of Willow Creek
KRISTEN DOUGLAS/CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Parkway Properties is offering this forested land to the west of the damaged Jubilee wetlands as a form of compensation for what the developers believe cannot be remediated. Road across Jubilee Parkway to the site in question in order to facilitate development. Parkway maintains that it believed the fen was simply another pocket of glacial till that wouldn’t drain, similar to what the developers had encountered previously in the same general area. Parkway has since taken full responsibility for the damage and will restore 0.52 ha of the original fen in order to comply with the Provincial Water Act, as well as retain 0.54 ha of two existing endangered trembling aspen forested wetlands on the perimeter of the former fen wetland. To make up for the 1.9 ha that the city accepts cannot be restored to fen land, Parkway is giving the city 2.1 ha of forest land that it owns on the west side of the property and that borders the Woods Creek wetland complex. Parkway told the Mirror in December that it’s pleased with the solution both parties have agreed to. “We are satisfied with the revised Remedial Action Requirement solution that has been recommended to, and accepted by council,” said Dan Samson, president of Parkway Properties, on behalf of the group. “The company has been trying to resolve the issue ever since (the issue first came to light in early 2014 via a citizen’s complaint). “Nearly three years later, and after an in-
vestment of approximately $200,000 in reports and studies, the city and ourselves have agreed to complete a plan which includes Parkway Properties protecting the remaining fen, establishing a replacement wetland in the area that was filled, and providing additional compensation by protecting 20 acres (8.1 ha) of existing forest and adjoining wetlands within the 120 acre (48.6 ha) property that have important environmental and community amenity attributes.” Samson said Parkway hopes to be able to put the issue behind them and look towards the future. “We believe that the proposed plan is consistent with the city policies of protecting community environmental values and with our history of being strong community supporters,” Samson said. “We are now looking forward to continuing with the development of our lands and providing needed residential housing for our community.” Meanwhile, Martin said the city, along with Parkway, is working on a communications strategy in order to keep the community informed as the process unfolds, rather than having to rely on Freedom of Information reports which have been filed on a number of occasions by at least one citizen, a local environmental organization and the Mirror. “This transparency should help to alleviate public frustration
with Parkway Properties will continue
with the Freedom of Information process and keep the community informed on a regular basis,” Martin said. Ron Neufeld, the city’s general manager of operations and deputy city manager, confirmed that the city will be monitoring Parkway’s progress in order to keep the community up-to-date. “The province is relying on the city to manage the restoration process, and staff’s work
to be transparent, results-oriented
and science-based,” Neufeld said.

Community loses ‘great and noble man’ KRISTEN DOUGLAS Campbell River Mirror
The We Wai Kai Nation has lost a kind-hearted, generous and hard-working leader and mentor. Rod Naknakim passed away suddenly on March 9 at the age of 69. A father to three sons and grandfather to three grandchildren, Naknakim is being mourned by his family and all who knew him. Deidre Cullon, who knew Naknakim for nearly 20 years and had been working alongside him on Laich-Kwil-Tach Treaty negotiations, said he will be deeply missed. “He was the most kind and generous person I knew and just really and truly dedicated to his community,” Cullon said. “He worked tirelessly for what he believed in. He was a real advocate for language and culture.” Naknakim was born on Feb. 6, 1948 and grew up in Cape Mudge on
Quadra Island. He attended high school in Campbell River and after graduation, enrolled at the University of Victoria, where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1974. He then went on to the University of B.C., graduating in 1977 with a law degree. Naknakim was called to the Bar, became a lawyer, and put his skills and knowledge to use working for the Laich-Kwil-Tach Nation. Cullon said his dedication to negotiating a place in Canada for Laich-Kwil-Tach rights and title “was endless.” Cullon said in 2008 Naknakim became the chief negotiator for the Laich-Kwil-Tach. “Key for Rod was ensuring that LaichKwil-Tach people received recognition and that Laich-Kwil-Tach rights, culture and the Liq’wala language are protected in ways that will ensure Laich-KwilTach identity for future generations,” Cullon
LAICH-KWIL-TACH TREATY SOCIETY PHOTO
Rod Naknakim, who passed away March 9, is being remembered for his dedication to the We Wai Kai people and the preservation of his ancestors’ language and culture. said. Naknakim worked tirelessly to create opportunities for people to learn Liq’wala, practice their culture, connect to the territory and to understand their history. He was also deeply involved with the Nuyumbalees Cultural Centre on Quadra Island, supporting the centre’s repatriation efforts and language recording since joining the Nuyumba-
lees Society’s board of directors in 1980. Jodi Simkin, executive director of the Nuyumbalees Cultural Centre, said his efforts were to him a sacred responsibility. “He felt not only an obligation to support the efforts of his elders who sought the repatriation of potlatch artifacts, but viewed this work as an honour and inspiration for future generations,”
Simkin said. “Guided by a strong sense of purpose, Rod shared his knowledge freely.” Simkin said he lent his expertise to many organizations, including the BC Museum Association (BCMA) where this past fall he presented his ideas on the four pillars of repatriation. “The ‘Rod Naknakim Declaration’ as it is now called, positions the BCMA as a leader within the cultural sector, providing a tremendous and meaningful step forward in the enhancement and development of Indigenous and museum relationships,” Simkin said. Up until his death, Naknakim had been working with Simkin to organize the Tribal Journeys event coming to Campbell River and Quadra Island in July. The event will see roughly 100 canoes pull into Cape Mudge and Campbell River and it’s expected to attract around 7,000 people to the city.
Naknakim was proud to be hosting First Nation families from around the world. “Tribal Journeys is a revival of the traditional method of transportation and a significant cultural experience for all the participants,” Naknakim told the Strathcona Regional District board of directors during an event presentation in November. “Tribal Journeys has helped promote cross cultural exchange among the thousands of pullers, spectators and dignitaries that have participated.” When the canoes pull in to Cape Mudge this summer, Naknakim may not be there in
physical form but he’s sure to be there in spirit and in the memories of those he left behind. “The lasting legacy of Rod Naknakim can be felt in the tears of the mourners he leaves behind,” Simkin said. “His children should be comforted with the knowledge that he was a great and noble man with a kind heart and unique humility that impressed those who had the privilege to walk beside him and share in the incredible optimism he had for all of us.” A celebration of life will be held in honour of Naknakim on Friday, March 17 at 1 p.m. at the Cape Mudge Community Hall.

‘We’ve finally done it’ – Director applauds sewer extension “Wahoo.” That was the reaction from Area C Director Jim Abram, who could barely contain his excitement as the Strathcona Regional District’s board of directors signed off on the construction of an expansion to Quadra Island’s sewer system. “What can I say but ‘wahoo.’ We’ve finally done it,” Abram said at last week’s Wednesday board meeting. “We’re going to actually extend the sewer service.” The project has been awarded to Campbell River-based Berry & Vale Contracting Ltd. – the lowest of seven tenderers – to the tune of $727,466. Work will include the installation of roughly 1,265 metres of gravity sewer pipe, 638 m of force main, service connection, pavement restorations, a gravel path and fence. The project, which is expected to get underway this spring, will connect 47 new properties in
the Quathiaski Cove area to the island’s existing sewer system. Abram, who has been trying for the past seven years to extend the sewer system, thanked all the regional district staff who helped to finally make it a reality. “Thank you very much to all the staff members who worked on this and everybody who helped make this happen because it’s been a long time coming and there have been a lot of setbacks,” Abram said. The biggest hurdle was construction costs. Bids to undertake the work came in over $900,000 in early 2016, which at the time, exceeded the regional district’s budget. That put the project on hold until last fall when the provincial government announced it would help fund the project through its Clean Water and Wastewater grant. The news got even better when the federal government committed to up its contribution
towards the grant from one-third to one-half. Under that funding formula, the federal government is putting up $684,425 of the project costs while the province is contributing $451,720 and the regional district is making up the remainder, $232,705, through the Area C Community Works Fund. Property owners who are joining on
to the sewer system will also be contributing towards the costs. But Abram said with so many people joining the system, costs will go down, particularly for those on the existing system who have been advocating for reduced sewer fees. “We’re on our way and we’re going to

have 47 new connections to our sewer system which will help with the operating costs,” Abram said. Basic residential sewer rates on Quadra have soared from $250 in 1999 to $510 in 2015. In 2012, rates were as high as $692 which prompted affected property owners to petition

the regional district for some form of relief. Abram said that now with more properties coming on line, costs will be reduced as more people share in the cost of operating and maintaining the system through user fees.
Berry & Vale has put forward a deadline of 120 calendar days to complete construction of the sewer expansion. The work comes nearly three years after the project was approved by affected Quadra Islanders in a July, 2014 referendum.

Premier Christy Clark said she hadn’t seen the web attack ad that was released by the B.C. Federation of Labour. The “Game Over” spot imitates an early “Super Mario” video game, with a pixilated Clark in a pink hard hat hopping from photo op to photo op, collecting points for closing a school and understaffing a seniors’ care home. The school closing is a cheap shot, but the latter scenario hit home. We’ve heard the horror stories for years, with contract operators laying off all their staff to reincorporate or sell, elderly residents limited to one bath per week, drugs over-used to quiet residents, and injuries to caregivers from lifting frail elderly people. With those working conditions, even keeping the staff that are funded has been difficult. An additional $500 million was tucked into the BC Liberals’ election budget
in February, and retiring Health Minister Terry Lake rolled out the results last week. Over the next three years, that money will finance the hiring of 1,500 more staff, add ceiling lifts and wheelchairs, and create a “robust monitoring system” to make sure the money goes to patients, not profits. Seniors’ Advocate Isobel Mackenzie, who has proven to be a tough critic despite being Lake’s appointee, summed up the changes from a resident’s point of view. “It could mean that I can go to the bathroom within 15 minutes of asking, instead of 45.” Mackenzie said. “It might mean I can ask for a bath on Tuesday

and get one, even though I had one on Saturday. It might mean I can get the aide to walk me to the dining room using my walker, rather than put me in a wheelchair, bethat’s the B.C. cause faster way to get me there.” I gave NDP health critic Judy Darcy a hard time last week for putting union spin ahead of the public interest, but this time she’s on the mark. Darcy made short work of Lake’s claim that this extra funding had to wait for a new health transfer deal with Ottawa. Darcy noted that those transfers have increased six per cent each year since Paul Martin was prime minister, while B.C. governments boasted of bending down the “cost curve” of health care.

Getting the word out
Bonus baths for B.C. seniors VIEWS
With a provincial election on the horizon, you will not be surprised that we’ve been seeing a lot of spending announcements from Victoria. The B.C. Liberals are doing what they, and the NDP and Social Credit Party before them, have always done – throw money at the electorate. It’s hard to say no to the money, especially when it’s going to so many good causes. Earlier this year, Premier Christy Clark was in Campbell River to announce that North Island College will be getting funding to revamp its trades building, and, two weeks ago, Minister Steve Thomson announced provincial monies for trades equipment for Campbell River secondary schools. Scissors will be blunted from all the ribbons to be cut in a year’s time, when the money is spent. It is a good time to spend money in British Columbia. The economy is in good shape, unemployment is low, and property transfer taxes have swollen government coffers. But that was true a year ago, and two years ago, too. And while there were plenty of projects announced, we didn’t see this same mad flurry of spending. We’re left with the idea that either the government is spending too much right now – projects that could put the government into deficit spending – or that they could have spread this spending out over the last few years. We’d rather see the government – any government, regardless of party – spend the money that needs to be spent, when it can be of the most use. Having the government turn into a springtime Santa every four years may be good politics, but it’s not good governance for British Columbia. -Black Press
And let the record show that the Justin Trudeau government did something right. It upheld the former Harper government’s decision to reduce that unsustainable six-per-cent figure, while adding new money tied to home care. With seniors living longer and the baby boom starting to retire and head west, home care is the only way B.C. will survive financially. Meanwhile, the “rural paramedicine” program is extending to 70 communities, with part-time paramedics getting stable work doing home “wellness checks” to prevent emergencies. They also lead walking groups for frail seniors who wouldn’t otherwise venture out for risk of injury. Slowly, the post-war model of acute hospital care recedes, and just in time. Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@ blackpress.ca Twitter: @tomfletcherbc

Letters to the Editor
Recognize the rights and power of women by giving them the status they deserve Re: News Article “Political Pink” We are very grateful for the coverage on page 15 of the March 10, 2017 Campbell River Mirror edition and for the excellent video posted online. Unfortunately, your photo choice for the front page feature brings great frustration. The highlight of the International Women’s Day Tea was not that BC NDP Leader John Horgan was in attendance and I’m sure he would be appalled that he landed on the front page and not some of our own strong women who live and work in our community. We appreciate his attendance and sup-
port as an ally, but the role of an ally is not to steal the spotlight away from those who are still fighting for equal rights and visibility in the public sphere. In this case – women. We would like to share with you the importance of International Women’s Day. International Women’s Day is celebrated on the 8th March all over the world. This day is to appreciate and give respect to all the women who are the essence of our lives. This day is a day to honour the life, grit and determination of all women. Charles Malik, former President
of United Nations General Assembly aptly sums up the role of women: “The fastest way to change society is to mobilize women of the world.” Unfortunately, women throughout history were not given their due respects yet they went on without complaints. Over time women organized and supported each other to bring about change. Women fought against all odds to emerge with a newfound power and place in society. History is replete with examples of courageous women like those recognized at the International
Women’s Day Tea. International Women’s Day is intended to honour the women who have paved the path towards our progress and struggled to take ‘womanhood’ to the level of equality that we currently enjoy. But these gains are tenuous and not yet universally achieved. Consequently, this day is also a reminder of the discrimination and inequality that continues to plague our society. This special day, dedicated to women, is a celebration of the great success of women across all spheres of life as well as shaping the future. With that it saddens me greatly that
some of our powerful community members were not featured on your front page. If you wanted to take a political turn on the celebration you could have easily featured Claire Trevena or lona Campagnolo, B.C.’s first female Lt. Governor, who were both also in attendance. On the surface, International Women’s Day can be seen simply as a special day dedicated to women and their role in our lives. The true essence of the day, however, lies in identifying the rights and power of women and giving them the status that they deserve. Not as stated and I quote,
you believe “…that the leader of the opposition warrants front page coverage as does the premier. “But that doesn’t diminish the importance of the IWD events.” Unfortunately, it did diminish the perceived importance of the IWD event and yet again put a male public figure before a woman. It is part of our philosophy and belief at the Women’s Centre that everyone makes mistakes, however, it is expected that we learn from our mistakes and do right by them. This is a perfect example of how the quality of a woman can be understood
“If a woman has to choose between catching a fly ball and saving an infant’s life, she will choose to save the infant’s life without even considering there are men at the base.” Such is the power of a woman. Additionally, we would like to thank you for changing the online link once we voiced concerns, and of course thank your wonderful reporter Jocelyn Doll, for the fantastic story and coverage provided on page 15. Jodi Boyd, Executive Director Campbell River Women’s Resource Centre

Carihi grad finds success in the City of Love JOCELYN DOLL Campbell River Mirror
From the Discovery Inn to Le Bristol Paris, Leah Marshall has lived and worked in the hospitality industry all around the world. “It is a privilege to work for a wonderful company, in the city of my dreams, in an exceptional context, surrounded by young and enthusiastic colleagues,” Marshall said in an email interview. “All with the mutual aim of bringing memorable experiences to our guests.” She began her career in Campbell River at 16, aiding the assistant to the general manager of the Discovery Inn. After graduating from Carihi, she worked full time at the hotel until leaving, at 18, to study at La Sorbonne, a university in Paris. After a year in Paris, she was recruited by the owner of a pension (a small hotel) she was staying at while visiting Florence. At the end of her holiday she returned to Paris, packed up her things and moved to Florence. While working at the pension, she did everything from cleaning the rooms

She worked there for nine years, spent 10 years at Four Seasons George V, Paris and a couple years with the Shangri-La group before starting with Le Bristol, where she has been for six years now. Le Bristol is one of four hotels owned by the Oetker family. It was designated the first “palace” in Paris. The hotel was opened in 1925 by
the Jammet family and was purchased by the Oetkers in 1978. There are 190 suites and rooms and the fine dining room boasts an executive chef who has three Michelin stars, the highest possible Michelin Guide rating awarded to only nine other restaurants in Paris. “We are considered a classic hotel in the elegant French style, but with a huge Parisian following bringing a constant buzz in the hotel,” Marshall said. “The all-day dining café is considered the place to meet, the evening bar with DJ, a hap-
pening fun vibe with more of a contemporary décor with an edge.” Marshall said around 35 per cent of the guests are European and another 35 per cent are North American. They want discretion but also recognition and personal service. “I, you could say, have to set the tone each and every day for all our 550 colleagues,” she said. “I have always believed that we have to be on the floor, visible, to accompany our colleagues in order to give the best of ourselves to our guests. In this niche business of ours, it

is all about the guest experience. We need to be natural, welcoming, sincere while friendly but discreet, and determined to do the maximum to wow each and every guest.” Marshall doesn’t think she will be retiring any time soon, she loves her job too much. This is the third in a series about Campbell Riverites who went on to do great and interesting things.

Six move on from Skills Canada Regionals MIKE DAVIES Campbell River Mirror
Over 120 students took part in the annual Skills Canada regional competition last Friday, with six from Campbell River winning their respective contests and moving on to the provincial competi-
tion April 4 in Abbotsford. The regional event is generally held in Campbell River one year then down in Courtenay the next, and this year was Timberline’s turn to play host. “There’s all sorts of stuff happening,” says Timberline woodshop
teacher and regional Skills Canada organizer Paul Klein taking a moment away from the commotion. “There’s 2D and 3D computer animation, website development and graphic design, there’s TV/video production, there’s welding, there’s digital art and carpentry/cab-

inet making, there’s electronics and some junior skills activities like this gravity track, where the younger kids have made cars out of wood and they’re racing them down the track. It’s just amazing how much there is going on.” In many of the competitions, the students don’t even know what they’re going to be doing before they walk in the door. “They can develop the skills in class, and they can practice as much as they can, but when they show up, they have no idea what the contest it going to be,” Klein says. The “why” of the event, Klein says, is simple. “Well, for fun,” he says with a laugh.

News Berwick Broadcast Q: How do I find the right senior living community? A: Finding the right retirement community for yourself or a loved one can be confusing and appear complicated. It doesn’t have to be. Here are a few things to look for when you visit a retirement community in your neighborhood.
Wendy Mayers
Community Relations Manager
Pay attention to the staff - Watch how the staff interacts with the residents. Observe their friendliness. - Do they make eye contact and really engage with the residents?

11th Annual Dancing & Tapas
Rotary is excited to bring the best culinary and dance experience on the island to Campbell River once again. Get ready for the feast and prepare to dance the night away with Time Well Wasted at Rotary’s 11th annual Dancing and Tapas. For the past ten years Campbell River have sent over 3000 wheelchairs to the impoverished regions of Peru, Venezuela, Argentina, Philippines, Colombia, South Africa, Bolivia, and Vietnam. We currently have a team delivering wheelchairs in Bali and next year we will head to Guatemala. This year our endeavor is to raise enough funds to send a container of wheelchairs to Moldova, Romania and the Ukraine in 2019. The event include an extravagant spread of tapa’s, wine draw, silent and live auction, Ukrainian dancers and more. We are especially pleased to have Time Well Wasted back, a 12 piece Classic Rock/Funk/R&B band with a strong horn section, 3 female lead singers with 3 part harmonies. Join us at Quinsam Hall on Saturday April 29th, 2017. Doors open at 6:00 pm and the event will go until midnight. Tickets are available at Needle & Arts Centre, Amy’s, Metro Liquor Discovery Harbour, and Metro Liquor Timberline Village.
The Centennial Gala
Ask to have a meal – for many reasons - So you can check the ambiance, resident energy and mix, options for seating. - So you can gauge meal selection, presentation, taste, dining options. Do you feel at ease with the people you are interacting with? Can you find sufficient dining choices? Does it feel like a place that would suit you or your loved one? Feeling safe in a warm friendly environment with good meals and wonderful spaces are important to choosing the right retirement community.
The day started with preparations – about 15 to 20 Rotarians (equal numbers from the Noon and Daybreak Clubs) showed up at the Community Centre at 10:00 am and made quick work of getting the room set up and looking beautiful. In the evening, we had about 120 attendees and the atmosphere was one of great fellowship. Rotarians, family and friends attended from Nanaimo, the Comox Valley, Campbell River, Port McNeill and Port Hardy. The room was buzzing with everyone catching up with acquaintances and, of course, enjoying a beverage or two. Dave Zamluk and his musical friends entertained the crowd during the predinner social time and during the meal - those dudes are actually pretty darn good. Our own Todd Peachey started the evening off with a “riveting” explanation of what the evening was about (100th Anniversary of the Rotary Foundation), what to expect (lots of action and entertainment), and a hint of some serious stuff that was coming our way.

Promoting literacy and sharing at Centennial Park KRISTEN DOUGLAS Campbell River Mirror
Dionne Lanqvist has a new vision for Centennial Park. She envisions kids curling up on a picnic bench or a soft patch of grass with a good book, and then sharing that book with others once they’re done. At least that’s what she would like to see once the Little Library is installed at the inner-city park in less than a month. The lending library is a project of the 1st Campbell River Brownies Troop that meets out of Cedar Elementary once a week. Troop leader Lanqvist, and co-leader, Melinda Gaberel,
who is also the principal of Cedar school, came up with the concept as a way to promote literacy. “The focus in January was Family Literacy Week but due to the snow we didn’t get it done in time,” Lanqvist says. The inspiration to put it in Centennial Park came out of a desire to do a community project with the Brownies, a group of 7-to-9-year-olds. “I think there may be one or two lending libraries in the community but they’re more adult-oriented,” Lanqvist says. “We wanted a child-focused one for children’s books. Being at the park, we thought ‘what better place.’” Centennial Park’s proximity to Cedar school also made the
location an obvious fit. “Our goal is to have the Brownies walk down and help maintain it, make sure it’s not vandalized,” Lanqvist says. The Little Library, which was made courtesy of Gaberel Woodworking, is slated to be unveiled on April 8 in Centennial Park just off the gravel pathway near the concession. Lanqvist says the library is meant to be an avenue for sharing with others, a concept that leaders try to instill in the 19-member Brownie group. “The concept is you bring a book that you’re done with and you take a book that’s in there,” Lanqvist says. “Basically it’s a take a book, leave a book idea. It’s also a good way to recycle. Especially for children’s books,

Brownie Leader Dionne Lanqvist shows off the lending library that her Brownie troop will be maintaining and operating out of Centennial Park. because they outgrow them so quickly.” She says that with the library, the kids can read a book in the park, finish it, and put it back. Or, if they’d like to take the book home, they can do that
too. The library will be filled with books by the Brownies on the day of the unveiling, but after that, the hope is that the community will really embrace the Little Library and keep it full with books of their own.

Campbell River art on display at Lt.-Gov.’s house KRISTEN DOUGLAS Campbell River Mirror
Twelve pieces of art from the Campbell River Art Gallery’s permanent collection are being displayed at Government House in Victoria for the next year. Coun. Charlie Cornfield, as acting mayor, recently joined dignitaries and artists at an opening reception in celebration of the exhibition. “It was a good event, and it really helps to showcase Campbell River,” Cornfield said. “Campbell River’s arts community is
being recognized.” The exhibition features artists with ties to the North Island, including Sybil Andrews, Judi Betts, Richard Calver, Liz Carter, Danny Coon, Lyn Farquharson, Suzo Hickey, Gordon James, Randy Laybourne, James Lindsay, George Littlechild and Mary Weiler. Cornfield said the artwork is displayed in Government House’s upper gallery, in the main hall, and circles the entire area. Government House is the official house of B.C. Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon and
From left, North Island MLA Claire Trevena, artists Martha and Gordon James, Lieutenant-Governor Judith Guichon, Campbell River Art Gallery Executive Director Kris Anderson and Coun. Charlie Cornfield celebrate the opening reception of a one-year exhibition featuring art from the Campbell River Art Gallery at Government House. Mayor Andy Adams said he had the opportunity at the BC Mayors’ Caucus in
February to thank Guichon for selecting works from Campbell River.
“I extended our appreciation to the lieutenant governor for recognizing the
talents here and displaying them at Government House,” Adams
said. The artworks included in the exhibition were selected because they capture the specific geography and sense of place on the North Island, while sharing a visual history of the community, according to a release from the Art Gallery. While Government House does not have regular opening hours, the pieces will be on display until March, 2018 and will be viewed during numerous private and public events throughout the year.
$290,000 in NIC scholarships and bursaries now available
Campbell River students can now apply for their share of $290,000 in NIC scholarships and bursaries. The online award application process closes April 30, 2017. With one online application, students could be eligible for awards based on their academic performance, financial need, career interests or community involvement. “When we support the dreams of our students, we give them a chance to build a solid future for themselves and their families,” said Robert Buckley, NIC Foundation Board Chair and
donor. “In turn, they become our nurses, accountants, teachers, electricians, artists, business owners and so on, supporting the strength and growth of our communities.” The money represents a significant investment in North Island students and communities and addresses a tangible need. “NIC students have tremendous talent and potential,” Buckley added. “Helping them achieve their goals is a great honour.” Since 1991, the NIC Foundation has provided $1.95
million to more than 3,750 students throughout the region. For many of the students, attending college would not have been possible were it not for this money. A number of Campbell River contributors have demonstrated tremendous ongoing support over the years. Randall Heidt, NIC’s Vice President of Strategic Initiatives, thanks the growing number of families and organizations for their support. “These awards help many deserving students each year,” he said. “They are
available to students in all programming areas at every NIC campus. Whether you are coming to NIC directly from high school or are retraining for a new career, there’s something for everyone.” The award application deadline is April 30, 2017. Visit foundation. nic.bc.ca/students for an awards list and online application form. To learn how you can assist NIC students or for more information, contact the NIC Foundation at 250-3345074, visit foundation.nic.bc.ca or email foundation@ nic.bc.ca.

Music Showcase celebrates local talent JOCELYN DOLL Campbell River Mirror
Music groups from the elementary schools within School District 72 (SD 72) performed in front of a packed gymnasium Tuesday evening at Carihi. The event was part of the Annual Music showcase which has been a tradition within SD 72 and the Campbell River community for more than 20 years. Audience members were asked to bring a donation for the Campbell River and District Food Bank as an entrance fee for the event. The Ripple Rock
Choir started the evening with the song “Klee Wyck” by Brian Tate. Pinecrest and Cedar elementary schools each performed one song on their own as well as one together, followed by the École Des Deux Mondes Choir singing “Lean On Me.” The audience also heard from the École Phoenix Middle School Band, the Quadra Choir, the Sandowne Fiddlers as well as the Sandowne Choir and the Penfield Choir.

LAST CHANCE FOR BOAT SHOW PRICING! ENDS MARCH 31ST
‘That place is awesome’ Bluesman Jesse Roper excited to be coming back to Campbell River MIKE DAVIES Campbell River Mirror
F
ans of classic rock will surely be excited about long-time Canadian stalwarts, Chilliwack, coming back to Campbell River for their upcoming show at the Tidemark Theatre March 30. Chilliwack has long been the quintessential Canadian road warrior band, touring the country for over 40 years sharing their music with fans at venues as small as the local pub to stadiums and festivals, speedways, fireworks shows and everything in between. This particular tour, however, sees them bring along an increasingly-familiar rocker as their opening act, and one who says Campbell River is slowly becoming one of his favourite places to perform, thanks to the energy of the people here. “The first time I came up there was when I opened for Current Swell,” says Metchosin, B.C.’s
Jesse Roper from his van parked just outside Nanaimo the morning after opening for another Canadian music icon, Colin James, at the Port Theatre. “It was so fun,” he says of his first Tidemark show. “The crowd was so into it right off the hop. I mean, sometimes you get on stage and you’re nervous and people just stare at you and it makes it worse,” he says with a laugh. “But not that night. I got on stage and everyone was like, ‘Woooohooooo’ and I was all, ‘alright, I love this place!’” He came back up a few months later for the Campbell River Mirror Jazz & Blues Fest last summer, “and once again, it was just a fantastic experience. So I called my manager and told him, ‘hey, we gotta get back up there again. That place is awesome.’ “You can expect me to be there more and more often, to be sure.”
This visit is part of a seven-gig tour as Chilliwack’s opener, which is something else he’s excited about. “This is honestly the first time I’ve been picked up for a tour,” he says. “Usually I get, you know, one date with Colin (James) or whatever, which is always really exciting, but this is seven days on the road with Chilliwack,” he continues excitedly. “It’s fantastic. I love so many of their tunes. I’ve been listening to them my entire life.” So what is he hoping to get out of it? “I guess I’d just like to take away some wisdom. I don’t really know what to expect, but if there’s something to take away from this, that’s probably the main thing I’d like. I mean, they obviously still love it if they’re still doing it, and I guess that’s something that I’m hoping I can take away from this experience,” he says. “Just, you know, how to keep loving it and giving it your all when things maybe seem a little bleak or you start getting down. This can’t be about money or anything else. It has to be about loving it.”
MIKE DAVIES/CAMPBELL RIVER FILE PHOTO
Metchosin’s Jesse Roper is looking forward to his upcoming show in Campbell River, opening for Chilliwack March 30, because, as he says, ‘That place is awesome.’ Which is something he’s already got a pretty good handle on. Anyone who has seen Roper on stage knows just how much
he loves being there. “I realized long ago that music is the only drug for me, and it’s the only trip I need to take. So for eight
days in a row, I’m going to be pretty damn happy.” Tickets for Chilliwack – and Roper – are available now
at the Tidemark Box Office from Tuesday to Friday, noon to 4 p.m. or online at tickets.tidemarktheatre. com

Rotary Honours Concert 2017 MIKE DAVIES Campbell River Mirror
T
he annual Rotary Honours Concert brought some of Campbell River’s best dancers and musicians to the stage of the Tidemark Theatre Saturday to the delight of those in attendance. Organizer Suzie Moscovich says the annual event began as simply “as a way to show the community the scope and breadth of what’s offered in our town for our youth,” and has continued to grow over
the years. Moscovich began the concert six years ago after she and her husband had been running annual “black tie optional” galas at their home to raise scholarship money for local youth interested in performing arts, and Rotary wanted to do something similar on a broader scope, so she jumped on board. This year’s event featured dancers from Urban Dance Connection, Solstice Studio and CR DanceXtreme, the Phoenix Middle School
Band, the Campbell River Legion Pipe Band, two young Celtic fiddlers and one young pianist. After audience vote, the winners of the People’s Choice Awards on the night were Maddie Erickson and Max Sander for Small Group and the Solstice Studio Hoop Team for Large Group. All participants in the event receive a $100 award for their participation, with the winners of the People’s Choice Awards receiving $300.

Know your buying power! Getting pre-approved for a mortgage is something every potential home buyer should do before going shopping for a new home. A pre-approval will give you the confidence of knowing that financing is available, and it can put you in a very positive negotiation position against other home buyers who aren’t pre-approved.

Garden WEEKLY
Starting Tuberous Begonias Now is the right time to start Tuberous Begonias! Tuberous Begonias are by far the longest blooming of the summer flowering bulbs. They have gorgeous, large, vibrant blooms on plants that grow about 10-15 inches in height. They bloom from June until frost and are easy to grow. Tuberous begonias like shade; all day shade, morning sun or filtered sun location that is not cold and wet. They can be grown in containers or the garden and are equally beautiful either way. Start Tuberous Begonias indoors in late February and March. Choose from colours such as white, yellow, orange, red and pink; trailing which are fantastic for hanging baskets or upright plants. The tubers are round with a concave side and a rounded side. Using individual four-inch size pots, plant tubers concave side up (dish side) into sterilized potting soil very shallowly with no more than a quarter of an inch of soil on top of the tuber. You may be able to see tiny pink buds where the new growth is starting.
Place in a well-lit location such as a windowsill, or use grow-lights, with minimum temperatures of 65F/18C degrees. Water to keep moist but never wet, always watering into a saucer from the bottom. An all purpose liquid fertilizer can be started after the tubers are well in leaf. After the first week of May, you can begin hardening off your begonias the same way you harden your other bedding plants off. Set them outside in morning sun only and bringing them

Support grows for prospective drag strip at airport
First VIMSA annual general meeting sees over 200 pack gym at Sportsplex MIKE DAVIES Campbell River Mirror
Jim Johnson and the rest of the Vancouver Island Motorsports Association (VIMSA) board seem to be gaining traction off the starting line when it comes to their proposed drag racing facility out by the Campbell River Airport. That’s if the attendance at Sunday’s information session and first annual general meeting is anything to go by. The meeting, held at the Sportsplex Sunday afternoon, saw a gymnasium filled with supporters, people wanting to buy membership in the association and those who had questions about the proposed project. That project would see a $5-million-plus drag racing facility constructed on a
chunk of currently-unused land at the airport. Johnson has been working on this proposal for well over a year, and says that a track will be built somewhere on Vancouver Island in the near future, and he’s hoping it will be here, because it would be a great benefit to the region’s economy. “That’s the only reason we’re ever going to get a drag strip,” Johnson says. “It’s not going to be because you guys want to go racing, it’s going to be because it’s good for the community. The combination of your desire to go racing and the people who want to go watch racing is what’s going to make it happen.” Johnson says the economic benefit felt by drag strips is well documented and studied, and points to many profitable endeavours
MIKE DAVIES/CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
VIMSA president Jim Johnson tells the crowd Sunday afternoon at the Sportsplex that he is very confident the proposed drag racing facility at the Campbell River Airport location will eventually be a reality. around North America, saying the money they bring into their communities would be a huge boon for Campbell River. “We’ve pretty much got a captive market. That whole BC Fer-
ries thing is a bit of an issue and with 750,000 people on this Island, we have an audience and enough participants to do the job,” he says, pointing to Port Alberni’s Thunder in the Valley – an annu-
BC Hydro files application to remove 60-year-old dam on Salmon River BC Hydro filed an application last week to the BC Utilities Commission to remove their 60-year-old dam on the Salmon River. The facility includes an eight-metre high rock-fill timber crib diversion dam, and a three kilometre canal which diverts water from the Salmon River through the canal to Brewster Lake and on to the Campbell River system for power generation. If all goes well the dam will be removed this summer, the company said in press release. The dam and canal are in poor condition, though it’s the benefits to fish that ultimately led to Hydro’s proposed decision to remove the dam. The metal fish screen located within the concrete canal that’s intended to screen fish that enter it back into the Salmon River, does not have a high
efficiency rate. And the fish ladder and the dam facility itself can be a barrier to adult fish passage when higher Salmon River flow rates are in place. Coho and steelhead do migrate past the facility but not at rates that could be provided with unhindered fish passage with the dam gone. The dam is located about 58 km from the ocean, but it’s the 40
or so kilometres of upstream cool water and good habitat that is ideal for fish spawning and rearing. To help in the success of their application, BC Hydro received an impressive 19 community letters of support ranging from First Nations, MLA’s, local governments, government fish agencies, and environmental and sport fishing groups.
“We have strong support within the community to remove the dam and restore unhindered fish passage both upstream and downstream,” says Stephen Watson, BC Hydro Spokesperson. “We’ll keep people apprised on how the BCUC process may proceed.” The regulatory process will also be posted on the BCUC web site.
al event which brings millions of dollars to that community in just one weekend per year – as proof. A few Campbell River city councilors were there to listen to the presentation, as
well, including Mayor Andy Adams, who says the city has been working productively with VIMSA and he looks forward to continuing the process, because they, too, see the possibility of such
a facility being of great benefit to the region. “We really see this as part of the economic diversification of not only Campbell River but the whole North Island,” Adams says. “It’s a big vision, but we thank you for all your hard work and want you to know that you have our support.” The current step in the process is having a sound attenuation study done to establish the possible impact from the additional volume of the cars racing out at the track, but Johnson says he’s confident it will be found to be negligible and they will be able to continue on with the process. “We will succeed,” Johnson says. “There’s no doubt about it. I hope it’s here in Campbell River. We certainly want it to be here in Campbell River.”

that they can interbreed. 10. Noseprints: Cats' and dogs' noses are unique, just like human fingerprints. 11. Fishy growth rings: Fish do not add new scales as they grow. The scales increase in size and form growth rings that can reveal the age of the fish. 12. Not domesticated: Birds are not domesticated. They're still rather wild and must be taught acceptable pet behavior. 13. Barkless: Many dogs do not actively bark. One dog that rarely ever barks is the Basenji, due to a narrow larynx. It can yodel, however!

How to keep animals out of your garden Many gardeners understand the frustration that stems from seeing a garden destroyed by wildlife. While protecting wildlife is a cause that’s near and dear to many gardening enthusiasts, even the most ardent wildlife supporter does not want to see his or her garden trampled, eaten or adversely affected by animals. Safeguarding gardens from local wildlife can require some trial and error. Animals may find ways to circumvent gardeners’ initial efforts to protect their gardens, but the following methods might just do the trick the first time around. • Erect physical barriers around gardens. Barriers may not be gardeners’ first choices, as some people feel barriers such as wire cages or mesh coverings make it more difficult to tend to gardens and rob gardens of some of their aesthetic appeal. But coverings and wire cages can effectively prevent wildlife from trampling or eating plants while still allowing the gardens to get adequate sunlight. Make sure
Container gardens can deter pests from trampling and eating plants.
barriers extend to the ground so animals cannot access gardens by entering beneath the barricades. • Fight intruders with odor. Stray cats may mistake gardens for litter boxes and enter them to relieve themselves. Preventing such intrusions can be as simple as placing items around the garden to reduce the likelihood that
gardens will be mistaken for litter boxes. Peels from oranges and lemons or coffee grounds can be placed in the garden and can emit odors strong enough to deter cats. • Install motion detecting lights around gardens. Motion detection technology might be enough to deter nocturnal wildlife from trampling or eating gardens. Animals might be
spooked and run away when lights suddenly turn on. A similar approach can be taken using noise instead of lights. Gardeners who hope to avoid erecting barriers around their gardens can put up posts instead, attaching aluminum cans or wind chimes to the posts that will make noise when animals come near. Much like light, noise can be enough to deter animals.
Meet My Pet ROXY Roxy is a fun kitty who keeps herself busy by getting up to all sorts of antics. She especially loves stealing papers, hair elastics, food, buttons or just about anything she can fit into her mouth. She also loves Meet to nap, it’s her favourite pastime!
• Erect fencing
around the yard. Though fencing is expensive, fencing in a backyard or side yard where gardens are located can deter wildlife big and small from trampling or eating gardens.
Wildlife is worth protecting, but gardeners must also take steps to protect their gardens from animals looking for something to eat.

• Consider raised garden beds. When small critters, such as moles, are the main problem, then raised garden beds with wood or plastic bottoms and sides can be enough to safeguard gardens. Raised garden beds might not be accessible to small critters, though such beds likely won’t deter larger animals from getting into gardens that are not barricaded.

sedan with impressive design and a practical layout. The Arteon is a mid-to-full-size four-door sedan with a coupe-like roofline and hatchback layout; like Audi’s A7. Built on an elongated platform shared with the Golf and upcoming Atlas SUV, the Arteon is a foray into the premium space. The Arteon will go on sale in Europe later this year with standard AWD and six available engines. For the Canadian market expect to see the Arteon arrive next year. Engines have not been announced for the Canadian market but a good bet would be a turbo 4-cylinder base engine and an optional V6, as has Typically, many been announced in the Atlas SUV.
Subaru Crosstrek The Subaru Crosstrek has been a huge hit for Subaru with the highest satisfaction among Subaru owners ever since the original arrived in 2013.

Question of the week…
Volvo XC60 Volvo has been on a vehicle renaissance lately with the highly successful XC90 crossover winning the North American SUV of the Year award last year. For 2017 Volvo hopes to capture lightning in a bottle twice with the smaller XC60. This new version will be available before the end of the year and should be a hit because it looks and shares many of the same components with the award winning larger sibling. The same turbo and supercharged 4-cylinder engine is standard with an available plug-in hybrid model. The interior features the same layout and the same level of finish is present. With a smaller and more agile footprint, plus Volvo’s reputation for advanced safety features will help accelerate the rented interest in the Volvo brand.
Spring break is here – if you have a novice driver in the family will they be taught by family or a driving school?
Spring break is a popular time of the year for a getaway. If you’re planning a long drive across the province, remember that winter tires could still be needed on certain highways. It’s also an ideal time to get a qualified mechanic to check your vehicle’s suspension and steering.
Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Some might remember the Mitsubishi Eclipse name on a car but the trend these days is to crossovers, so follow us… the name has been resurrected on the latest model called Mitsubishi Cross. This all-new crossover will sit F /Driveway between the RVR and Outlander models in size. With a T @DrivewayCanada turbocharged 1.5L 4-cylinder engine and continuously variable transmission, the target might be the Honda CR-V with similar tech. The design BE TRAVEL PREPARED is sharp and looks like a fastback from some angles. The rear styling is edgy and might be a bit polarizing. The interior is a major step forward with a touch-pad controller for the new centre screen and the materials look fresh and upscale. The Eclipse Cross will arrive towards the end of this year.
Spring Break Straight Ahead!

using liquid prawn oil with prawn and crab bait. The area around Twin Islands has been a popular destination.
The Hump and Shelter Point are areas of note as fishing has been reported fair to okay but salmon in the 14 to 16 pound size range are around. A dandy size winter spring of 20 to 21 pounds is a prime catch and in past years, big fish have been caught in the area. Anglers are finding that Lewis Channel has decent size salmon and the action should start to pick up in a few weeks and look for 28 pounders being caught in early June.
When I first moved to Campbell River I attended a prawning seminar at Tyee Marine and the fishing guide had information that will greatly increase your catch rate when it comes to prawning in the area.
Those using smaller spoons are going to a Coyote or Goldstar Kingfisher spoon; four or five inch.

Local trout lakes have more open water and if we get wind and rain, more lakes can be fishable and more people will be getting out. Echo and Beavertail can be good and Maple Lake in Courtenay will have trout action casting lures or flies from shore. Buttle Lake can be very good at times and a lunker trout 26 inches has been reported fishing in 100 feet of water. The Salmon River is high and fishable for catch and release trout.

Storm finally solve the Bucs It took 20 periods of hockey and 227 shots for the Campbell River Storm to finally breakdown the Nanaimo Buccaneers, win the North Division Finals and advance to the VIJHL Championship series. Don’t let the final score from Tuesday’s North Division final fool you at 11-5, the Buccaneers gave the Storm everything they could handle and it was a seven-goal third period that finally opened the floodgates. Trailing 5-4 heading into the final frame at Rod Brind’Amour Arena on Tuesday, the Storm increased the tempo. Colin Blake, coming out of the penalty box, put a backhand past Cedric LeSieur to tie the game. Then came a strange goal that fired up the home side. At 5:10 of the period, on the power play, Ben Raffler fired a point shot
MIKE DAVIES/CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

For three Buccaneers, Nolan Richardson, Jake Calverley and Chad Bell the loss spelled the end of their Junior hockey careers. “They came in four or five years ago and helped establish the VIJHL into an incredible developmental league feeding Junior A, Major Junior and college. We didn’t enjoy playing them (the 20’s) and there’s a reason for that. It’s been pretty cool to see them have successes and sad to see them go,” said Stone. Buc’s Captain, Chad Bell, from Port McNeill, has committed to Chatham University in Pittsburgh next season, an NCAA Division 3 school. The Storm will face the winner of the Kerry Park/Victoria series next week.

Cody Chamberlin strikes at his opponent during the Karate Nationals in Quebec City.
Riverites grow from Karate nationals experience Two athletes from Campbell River Shito-Ryu attended the Karate Canada Nationals Feb. 24-26 in Quebec City. Past national champion Casey Brake competed in the girls 16-17 plus 59 kg division. Brake had a great tournament and fought well but didn’t repeat her performance from last year winning one fight and losing two. Although disappointed, she is well aware sometimes your best isn’t good enough and must continue to improve. Brake will continue to improve and begin the process all over again to become a member of the B.C. team again for the chance to compete at the 2018 Nationals. “Casey continues to improve and is beginning to understand what is involved in maintaining a high level of training,” club instructor Roy Tippenhauer said. ” I’ve seen Casey blossom into a fine young lady and medals or lack of won’t change that, I continue to help her improve in her competitive journey.” Cody Chamberlin also of Campbell River Shito-Ryu came back with an unexpected third place medal. Chamberlin went to nationals already a success in his mind. “At the beginning of this year, I had a goal of making nationals so when I qualified I had achieved my goal and everything afterwards was gravy,” Chamberlin said. “Cody showed incredible growth this past season and continues to amaze me with his positive attitude and coach-ability,” Tippenhauer said. Chamberlin won three of his four fights in his division of 11 ending up with a bronze. Had he made it to silver or better he would have been able to attend the Canadian team training which readies people for the Pan American Championships. Chamberlin will begin the journey again soon with provincials coming up.

onships and representing B.C. on the national stage. Led by skip Dean Thulin, the team lost early in the provincial championships in Chilliwack last month, but rebounded and went on to win six straight games to take the tournament and earn the right to represent the province in Mississauga at the end of March. “We ended up
having to neat Brad Clark’s team twice in the final,” Thulin says. Clark’s squad, which curls out of Saanich, has traditionally been one of the Campbell River team’s major barriers to claiming the provincial title. But this year, as it has been for the three previous ones, has belonged to Campbell River. “We actually set

kind of a record by winning Provinicals this year,” Thulin says. “There have been a couple of teams that have won it three times in a row before, but we’re the first team to win it four times in a row, which is pretty cool.” That consistency, Thulin says, comes from knowing your teammates. He, Ken Dawson, Mike Caton and Rob Robinson have been curling together for a long time. “You get used to each other,” Thulin says. “You need to know how the other guys throw and what’s going to happen with the rock when it leaves their hand, especially for me when I’m
standing down in the house calling shots – I need to know what to expect from the guys when I’m making decisions.” Thulin is not only returning to the National Championship as a curler for the eighth time this year, he’s going for his first event as the Canadian Firefighters Curling Association Vice President, too, so he’s also busy looking after making sure all the teams have on-ice uniforms and getting together team pictures for the website and brochures, get everyone registered, etc. “It’s mainly a bunch of administrative stuff,” Thulin says, “but I’m honoured to have been
Both goalies were on fire Continued from A51 saw the Hurricanes face Island rivals the Oceanside Icebreakers. The Hurricanes opened the scoring with a goal by Nicole Mortimer three minutes into the game. The Hurricanes would score again in the first with a goal by Shelby Robertson with three minutes remaining on the clock. Going into
the second period, the Hurricanes’ twogoal lead would hold but with less than 30 seconds remaining, Oceanside scored. In the third there was plenty of back and forth, with plenty of scoring chances by both teams. With six minutes remaining in the third, Oceanside scored again to make it a tie game. The
final minutes of the game saw both teams battling hard to get that go ahead goal. Both goalies were on fire, stopping almost every shot, except one. With 1:30 left in regulation play, a well placed shot by Chloe Super gave the Hurricanes the go ahead goal to finish the post season as playoff banner winners.

elected to the role at last year’s tournament.” Last Friday, the team held their “Beer and Burger” fundraiser at the curling rink, which raised $550 to help them on their way, but they also received a special gift from another group of curlers. “I’d really like to give a special thanks to the Campbell River 50+ Curling League, who gave us a $500 donation, as well,” Thulin says. That donation was made all the more special because it was presented by Jude McFarlane, whose husband Rick was a long-time member of the team before he died of leukemia in 2014. McFarlane, Thulin says, is who got him into curling initially, and the team dedicates all of their tournament appearances to him. As far as the team’s chances at the Nationals, Thulin says while it’s always a tight tournament, “if we play like we did at the Provincials, there’s no reason we can’t come home with a gold medal.”

Gymnasts win multiple medals in Surrey
The Campbell River Gymnastics Association sent a group of athletes to the Carol Lenz memorial Classic in Surrey. The athletes had a fantastic competition competing against some of the strongest clubs in the Province. Janika Scriba had a strong competition in the JO Level 9 division, finishing in 2nd place All Around. She also had a solid performance on the beam where she won the Gold medal and captured a Silver medal for her vault performance. Ksenia Stansell also had a great competition with a Bronze medal podium finish in JO Level 8. Ksenia also came home with the Bronze medal for her bars. Nya Chailler, JO level 8, had a monster 9.325 score on the bars to bring back the Gold medal for that performance. Brooklyn Batch had an excellent bar performance to bring home the Silver medal in the JO level 9 division. Chloe Doyon had strong performances on floor and vault to bring back the Bronze medals on both events including winning the choreog-
raphy award for her floor routine as a JO Level 9. The boys did equally as well with Riley Michael coming home with Silver medals for his floor and vault and bringing back the Bronze medal on the pommel horse in the Provincial Level 4 Men’s Division. Carson Ogg came home with the Silver medal for his rings performance in the same level under 13. Jackson Martin had a solid floor routine to bring back the Silver medal for his performance in the Provincial Level 3 Men’s Division. “Our athletes are improving tremendously everyday and it’s fun to watch” head coach Todd Sader said. “The athletes are highly motivated and pushing each other in the right direction!” The following are the complete results. JO Level 9 20002003 Janika Scriba captured the Gold medal on beam, won the Silver medal on vault, finished 4th on bars and 6th on the floor to come home with the Silver medal in the All Around.

My financial future will take care of itself – won’t it? It may not seem like it, but spring is just around the corner – a time of new beginnings and new growth. And a good time for those annual check-ups we should all look to: a check-up on our vehicles – those pesky but necessary preventive maintenance items; a check-up on ourselves – the yearly physical that is a spring calendar item for many of us; a check-up on our heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems – you wouldn’t want that A/C unit to break down on the hottest summer day; a check-up on our gardens – what survived the winter and what didn’t and a list of plantings for the warm months to come. And a very important check-up on the monetary engine that keeps you going every day, that makes it possible for you to achieve your life goals – your finances. If you haven’t done it before, start this spring to take stock of your financial life using this 10-point inspection and personal ratings list. It will definitely pay off in the long run. Where Am I?

Scott Chrisholm Meyer January 15, 1975 – February 7, 2017
Never more than a memory away, quietly remembered every day, in our hearts, forever missed. Scott will be lovingly remembered by by his Mom and Dad, Carol and Len Titus, his brother, Steven (Cori-Lynn), step-brother Nathan Titus (Jenny), as well as nieces, nephews and cousins. He was predeceased by his grandparents, the Kenneth Bayleys of Courtenay, Peter Meyers of Bruno, Sask. Also predeceased by his beloved Uncle Graham Bayley (Catherine and cousin Jessica) of Vancouver. He was born in Kindersley, Sask., but spent his school years mostly in Campbell River, attending Pinecrest and Robron schools. Through the years he worked at his two favourite occupations, construction and driving truck. Until his passing, he was driving semi-super “B’s� for companies in Dawson Creek. Scott loved his music and spent endless hours listening to everything from rock to country. He was passionate about cycling and raced with great enthusiasm in Belgium in the early 90’s. And as a family, we all enjoyed weekends on Mount Washington skiing. He was an aggressive and fearless skier, which was evidenced by at least one broken ski every season. Much to his family’s sadness, Scott’s work on earth now is done and he has been called back early to his heavenly home. Peace and love go with you dear son The Reverend Charles Massey will be officiating at Scott’s Celebration of Life at St. Peter’s Anglican Church, on Saturday, March 25, at 1:30 p.m. Please honour his memory by doing a random act of kindness for someone who is in need.

Tenderly we treasure the past, With memories that will always last.
OLAFUR RAYNARD (RAY) JOHNSON July 1, 1929 – March 8, 2017 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather – Ray Johnson. Ray will be sadly missed by his wife of 61 years, Elaine Johnson, daughter Karen Johnson, and her children Paul and Olivia Carter, daughter Dianne Johnson, and her daughters Alysha Torrence (Ollie) and Brianna Hewlett (Kolt) and their children Isaac Ray and Evelyn. Also left to mourn, brothers Leo Johnson (Beverly), and Baldur Johnson (Maisie) and their families. Ray came to Campbell River from Manitoba in 1953 accompanying his sweetheart Elaine and her family. Ray proposed to Elaine on her prom night, they were married in 1955, built a home and established their family. Ray was a proud professional truck driver who worked many years driving a fuel truck for G.E. Lawrence – his favourite route being the run out to Myra Falls mine. In the early years, Ray enjoyed fishing, he joined the Lions club and was president of the club at the time the Lions Seniors Cottages were constructed. Ray loved to curl and he loved to square dance with Elaine. In their retirement years, Ray and Elaine spent many happy winters in Mesa, Arizona where Ray was active in the woodworking shop and came home each spring with gifts lovingly turned on the lathe. When at home, Ray would walk everyday along the seawalk. Ray was and will always be, a wonderful man to all that were blessed to know him. The family wishes to thank Dr Veerapen for the care he extended to Ray and would also like to thank the staff at Evergreen Seniors Home – Jamie, Sarah, Martha and Norma to name a few. No service per request. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
