Point Race to be gone by July The Point Race will be replaced by the end of June. That’s the word from Coast Guard spokesman Dan Bate, regarding the controversial decision to replace the 70-foot cutter stationed in Campbell River. The Point Race will be replaced by a new 47-foot lifeboat, nearing completion at dockyards in Victoria. Coast Guard brass, along with MP John Duncan, the Conservative member for North Island, said the 30-year-old Point Race had to be replaced due to age. However, critics of the replacement say the new vessels are not equipped to provide the same level of service as the Point Race. As well, the larger cutter has undergone several refits and is still in tiptop shape. – Paul Rudan/The Mirror

Morton: Candidates attended rally Continued from Page 1 Now, with a federal election on May 2, Morton is calling out candidates to see where they stand on the issue. North Island NDP candidate Ronna-Rae Leonard called wild salmon a keystone species and said she supports closed containment land-based raising of farmed salmon. Sue Moen of the G re e n p a r t y a l s o attended the rally and said people need to work together to find solutions which will result in long-ter m employment while protecting other species and the environment. However, neither candidate specified exactly what their parties would do. No one attended from Liberal candidate Mike Holland’s camp and Conservative incumbent John Duncan was also a no-show, although he was reportedly spotted in a nearby restaurant sipping hot coffee. “There’s supposed to be a representative here from John Duncan’s of fice…John D u n c a n’s o f f i c e ? ” asked Darren Blaney, as his request seemed to blow away in the stiff wind.

Plenty of room for emergency vehicles, council told KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
T he notion that emergency vehicles are unable to navigate around traffic on the upgraded section of
the Old Island Highway is nothing more than misinformation and rumours, says the city manager. Andy Laidlaw told council Tuesday night that after consulta-
tions with two engineers involved in the $13.5 million highway project and with local emergency responders, he believes there is sufficient space for emergency vehicles to
Suspected bank robber apprehended A man suspected of robbing a Parksville bank was arrested Tuesday afternoon in Campbell River. Douglas Darcy Evenson, 34, was taken into custody, without incident, on a Canada-wide warrant for an alleged breach of parole. Evenson was paroled in in 2008, following his release from jail on a robbery conviction. According to Parksville RCMP, a man entered the TD Bank on Saturday, April 9, around 2:50 p.m., told employees he had a weapon and

Coun. Roy Grant was pleased to hear Laidlaw’s recommendation was to not take any action and leave the highway as is. “Of course everybody in the community has something to say about this and there’s been a lot of heat tossed back and forth,” said Grant. “But I believe the new section of highway has really cleaned up that part of the entrance into Campbell River. It’s unfortunate there was so much speculation and rumours around this project. If the first responders are saying ‘hold it, it’s built to specifications’ then I guess that fits in with what the recommendation is.” Attempts to reach firefighters’ union local president Reid Wharton, who had raised concerns about this issue were unsuccessful prior to the Mirror’s deadlline.
the side of the road on Highway 19A and stops, a fire truck would be able to pass with approximately 0.5 metres of clearance.” But staff at City Hall has been fielding complaints for the past few months from motorists concerned that the rock centre median and high sidewalk curbs do not allow ample space for fire trucks to get through during an emergency. Laidlaw said he has met with the fire department, RCMP and ambulance service and all three parties agree the road standard is not an impediment. If need be, emergency vehicles are able to mount the curb to navigate around other vehicles. Laidlaw noted the road was not designed for emergency vehicles to pass at a high speed with lights flashing and sirens blaring (Code three).
pass a vehicle pulled over on the side of the road. “After reviewing elements of the design and after discussions with the first responders, it’s clear the objectives have been achieved,” said Laidlaw, who admitted he should have looked into the accusations earlier to “prevent misinformation and rumour.” A consultant on the project said the 5.1 metre width along that stretch of highway is more than enough space for emergency vehicles to get by. “Although the size of fire trucks and other emergency vehicles vary, almost all are 2.6 metres wide or less,” said Richard Drdul, community transportation planner. “A typical automobile is 1.8 metres wide and a large pickup truck is two metres wide.

It is estimated that there are 1000 new chemicals introduced into the environment each year. Many of these enter into your body through body care products, cleaning products and even in the food that you eat. The sources are many. Chemicals are usually tested for human safety individually without concern as to how they will react once inside the human body with toxins already present. The good news is that many of these chemicals can be eliminated from our homes and you can help your body to detoxify from the ones that are already inside you. There are many options available. One of the best websites devoted to less toxic products in your home is www.lesstoxicguide.ca. It will give you suggestions for less toxic products you can use in your home as well as easy home made options.

Rivercorp still relevant, mayor says KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Mayor Charlie Cornfield supports Rivercorp despite admissions by some city councillors they have lost faith in the organization. Cornfield, in a statement read at Tuesday’s council meeting, reminded city council that last year it debated the merits of Rivercorp, which exists to encourage economic d eve l o p m e n t , a n d “after months of discussion and debate decided to stay with the Rivercorp model.” At the time, council agreed it valued the jobs Rivercorp creates and the families it supports and confirmed kee ping Rivercor p independent from – although funded by – the city. “The public has been telling us loud and clear that we needed to attract new business to the city,” said Cornfield. “In Campbell River, the model in place for delivery of service is Rivercorp. It has an independent board of directors and their own staff to manage economic development, tourism and visitor services.” But a couple of councillors feel Rivercorp has not delivered. “I’ve been involved with Rivercorp for the last five budgets now, and just strictly from a business decision, the return on investment hasn’t been there,” said Coun. Ziggy Stewart. “It hasn’t fulfilled my vision of what Rivercorp is supposed to be.
Coming May 7th
“I just can’t support them anymore.” Coun. Mary Storry believes the public has also lost faith in Rivercorp. “The public has said we want these things to happen and we don’t think Rivercorp is the vehicle to do it,” she said. “At this point we’re looking for performance and we haven’t seen the performance.” Last month, council forced Rivercorp to give back $41,000 for a downtown marketing plan that failed to make any major changes downtown. Ben Chalmers, chair of Rivercorp, said the strategy was presented to city council by the for mer CEO of the organization without prior approval from the board of directors.
However, that CEO has left Rivercor p and the organization now has a brand-new board. “ We k n e w t h a t changes were required and appointed a new rejuvenated board of nine volunteer members based on their expertise in economic sectors and experience on boards,” said Cornfield. “The board has been developing and implementing a rigorous search process to identify and recruit a new CEO. “They are in the final stages of hiring the new CEO and we expect an announcement soon.” Cor nfield added the Rivercorp board is working with city council to develop a strategic direction for economic development

and believes “council wisely chose to leave the budget the same as last year’s with minor increases for new computers, cash registers and offset the deficit.” Cornfield acknowledged Rivercorp has come through on a number of initiatives including: securing a commitment from Fisheries and Oceans Canada to locate new Aquaculture Fisheries Officers in the city which added 15 new jobs; secured a BC Bike Race that will bring hundreds of racers to the city; worked with the Forestry Task Force to attract new forestry investment into Campbell River; and hosted the Ride Guide mountain biking television show in the Snowden Demonstration Forest.

Council also chose to fund two new freestanding outdoor washrooms at the Spirit Square through the gaming reserve, freeing up $90,000 in the general revenue budget. Council debated reducing the skateboard park host program by $10,000 but that idea, which was proposed by Coun. Andy Adams, was shot down.
Adams suggested the program be cut down to three-days a week during the summer months and instead increase the presence of security cameras. Coun. Claire Moglove argued that the skate park hosts are an integral part of the park. “They mentor the younger kids, many of which would not use the park if there were no hosts because they are intimidated by the older kids,” she said. “I think they are worth retaining,” Moglove also made an unsuccessful attempt to eliminate a second

City council made further cuts to city departments at its meeting Tuesday night and increased this year’s budget surplus. Council began the night with a $238,315 surplus after receiving slightly higher than expected new construction funds and deciding to re-instate $36,519 it cut from the RCMP budget two weeks ago. In a decision made in-camera, which is closed to the public, council will put the money back into the RCMP budget after it discovered the funds are necessary for a crime analyst position which will be filled in May. Council then spent roughly one hour making a two per cent, or $260,000, cut to the city’s operating budget and the parks and recreation budget, two departments which saw an increase in spending this year over 2010.

in jail and is facing four counts of assault with a weapon and one count of mischief under $5,000. On those matters, Spence has pleaded not guilty and the case is slated for trial in September. However, while on bail for the alleged offences, Spence committed other crimes and accumulated convictions for assault, fraudulently obtaining food and transporta-
tion, and breach of court orders. Spence was recently arrested on a warrant and appeared in court on Monday, via video from jail cells in Victoria. Crown prosecutor David Fitzsimmons asked for his continued detention to ensure Spence’s appearance at the September trial and to prevent him from committing further offences.
Spence does have legal representation, but was on his own during the bail hearing. “Basically I’ve been under a lot of stress,� said Spence, who asked to be released from custody. “Maybe I can get things under control and get things sorted out.� But Judge Brian Saunderson disagreed and revoked the original bail order.
37 per cent increase over February. The average price of a single family home sold in March 2011 through the VIREB MLS system was $347, 522, up one per cent from the $345,500 posted in March 2010, and also up 2.5 per cent over February’’s $338,911. There were 943 single family homes

Sea lice project proclaimed to be a success Sea lice and fish health management programs at Grieg Seafood have limited the amount of lice on wild salmon at one of its farms to nearly zero. As young wild salmon begin their annual outmigration, Grieg Seafood said the success of the programs means they pose no threat to smolts travelling through Okisollo and Hoskyn channels. The area has been the focus of antisalmon farming activists concerned about the out migration season for wild salmon. Grieg Seafood BC Ltd. is operating one
farm – Conville Bay – in the area and recent counts show that sea lice numbers are well controlled. “We do lice counts every couple of weeks and the April 7 results showed that there were only 0.1 lice per fish and there were no lice that had egg stages present,” said Stewart Hawthorn, Managing Director of Grieg. “It is important that we share this information with the public so they can feel confident about this positive situation.” There have been concerns in the past from anti-fish farm activists regarding the possible risks posed by

salmon farms to the out migrating juvenile wild salmon that swim from the rivers between March and June every year. Research-based management programs, required by farming companies through regulations, ensure this is not the case. Farmers are also working to better explain how they mitigate potential impacts on the natural environment. “To respond to the concerns raised about this area we have
been co-operating with our farming colleagues through the BC Salmon Farmers Association,” said Hawthorn. “Every month we update what is happening with sea lice numbers at all of the farms operating in this area. This is then posted onto the BCSFA website so that everyone can check it out. This is just another example of how salmon farmers are in fact very open and transparent with respect to our operations.”
Grieg Seafood BC Ltd. sustainably farms salmon on the Sunshine Coast, on the east side of upper Vancouver Island and in the Nootka and Esperanza Inlets. All of Grieg’s farmed salmon are processed in the locally owned and operated Walcan plant on Quadra Island and in the company’s own facility on the Sunshine Coast. Grieg directly employs over 140 people and proudly markets its salmon in Canada and the United States.

School board appeals to minister “Because we consider the funding protection and enrolment decline monies to be risk funding, we are taking a cautious approach to our longer term fiscal planning,” Moates writes in her letter. “Between the current structural deficit and the unpredictability of future funding, we are still facing an uphill battle to maintain the delivery of quality public education which school district 72 is so well known for.” Despite a projected decline in student enrolment next year of 180 kids, the school

Concern over maintaining quality education while facing a $1.1 million deficit has prompted school district 72 to write a letter to the Minister of Education. Helen Moates, school board chair, notes in her letter to Minister George Abbott that despite both enrolment decline ($492,00) and funding protection dollars ($508,000) from the provincial government for the 2011/12 budget, the district is still in the red.
district will not see a drop in provincial funding from this year because the province has upped per student funding by $44 which means each student in the Campbell River area is worth $6,784 to the school district. The one-time funding protection also ensures the school district maintains the same funding levels as last year despite less students attending Campbell River area schools. However, cost pressures “over which we have no control” have contributed to a tough
financial situation. An increase in pension costs ($335,000) and rising fuel costs are both significant factors as is a depleted savings account. Typically, a school district can dip into its reserves to offset a deficit but school district 72’s contingency fund has been used so frequently in the past couple of years that it is too low to be an option. Moates’ letter, which is dated March 31,2011, is the second letter the school district has sent to the province this year.

A large and majestic plant, which can rise to 20-45 cm (8-20”) in height, the trillium boasts one solitary three-petalled white flower that ages to a regal magenta. Trillium derives from the Latin for three; the plant bears leaves, petals and sepals in whorls of three, reason enough for its nickname Trinity flower. Likewise, the Latin TM species name ovatum refers to the trio of egg-shaped leaves.

The Gardeners Green Folk Club is having another house concert in Merville on Saturday, April 23 at 7 p.m. This time they’re featuring the four piece band, Quartete a Tete, from Vancouver. Lynn McGown and Michael Pratt have an infectious love of singing that has delighted audiences in the city and beyond for 30 years. They have played at the Vancouver Folk Music Festival four times, and various concerts and folk clubs throughout Canada and the British Isles. Calling themselves Tete a Tete, they sing with a wonderful sense of fun, passion and harmonies both beautiful and unique. They created the Jericho Folk Club in 1995, and also their own concert series at Celtic Traditions, their Vancouver shop which is also a music school, where McGown teaches singing.

Besides singing, Pratt plays concertina and fiddle and draws from his Irish roots and his involvement in the British Folk Revival in the 70s before immigrating to Canada. They have recently formed an extended musical experience with two other fine m u s i c i a n s, wh i c h they call Quartete a Tete. The g roup includes master guitarist Craig McGregor and fiddler Vanessa Kayt. These fabulous entertainers will perform a mix of traditional and contemporary music.

Arts & Entertainment Concerts and Auditions for the Children’s Choir The young singers of the Campbell River Children’s Choir are busy preparing for their wrap up concert, which will be held at the Campbell River United Church on Saturday May 7 at 7:30 p.m. The choir has had a number of guests working with them this year and they are eager to share their new skills and songs with the public. The choir is committed to providing “big city” opportunities to local youth and they have sponsored a number of events this year designed to enhance the skills and expand the
musical horizons of the singers. Su Hart from the United Kingdom, Moira Smiley and VOCO from Los Angeles, Les Voix Boreales from Quebec, and Campbell River’s own Marcello Sequeira have all shared their skills, songs, and talent with the group. “Musical culture is incredibly vibrant and varied, it draws together people from around the globe and inspires youth to set their goals high and to look beyond their community to the greater world,” says music director Barbara Prowse. The choir would like to encourage young people aged 7 and up who enjoy music and singing to audition for a place in one of the organization’s

The buzzing is music to his ears PAUL RUDAN
CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
J
im Dubois intends on leaving this world a more colourful place. Greener, redder, pinker, all the colours within the rainbow, and all in his little garden. “I practice squareinch gardening,” he says with a nod towards the green zone between his trailer and the neighbour’s, “if there’s a hole, you put something in it.” He and his partner Linda are still munching on last year’s produce, neatly frozen after harvest, while any extras were given away to the neighbours. Carrots, peppers, tomatoes, Swiss chard, peas, beans, strawberries, garlic – lots of garlic – and a variety of other vegetables thrive in the raised beds of the green zone. The veggies and flowers thrive because they’re full of homechurned compost and nitrogen-rich kelp. “I like it best when it starts to turn a little black,” he says of the kelp he collects after it washes up and starts to rot on the beach in Oyster Bay. But there’s something more to the intricate garden ecosystem which keeps it buzzing: Mason bees. They’re Dubois’ little helpers. “Perfect pollinators” he calls them and Dubois does his best to make them feel comfortable. “I build homes for them. Usually two in the winter and I give one away,” he says with a smile. Mason bees are different than hive bees. They’re known as “solitary but gregarious nesters” which means they nest close to each other, but each female provisions her own nest. Dubois builds their nests out of small blocks of wood, drilled with holes which creates narrow, little homes for the bees. He is also experimenting by placing pieces of plastic straws in each hole, which should allow for easier cleaning once the eggs
hatch and the bees leave home. And once they leave, they become, well, as busy as bees. The only goal of the males is – don’t snicker – to reproduce with as many females as possible and then die. It’s the females who are the true workers as they gather extraordinary amounts of
pollen which they return to the nest to create balls of feed for their unhatched eggs (they don’t make honey). It is estimated, that Masons out-pollinate honey bees from rates of 20:1 to as high as 100:1. They also stick close to home which makes them ideal for polContinued on A17

Bees: Masons have no venom gland

death from chemical poisoning, usually pesticides. That’s why he builds homes for the bees and keeps his garden naturally organic. Keeping the bees healthy is important to Dubois, 65, who has also battled for survival. In 2008, he received a new lease on life when he

Pollinators are so important and it’s easy to help them… (Mason bees) are real gentle little things and they’re great for helping anyone to break out of their beephobia.” ■ Dubois will display his Mason bee nests and some of his photographs on Wednesday, April 20, 5-7:30 p.m., in the Tidemark Theatre lobby during the Earth Week celebration.

As well, Mason bees emerge from their nests earlier in the springtime than most other bees, sometimes too early. “I found one out the other day, but it was lousy weather,” says Dubois, who gently picked it up and placed it near one of the many homes in his yard, under the shelter of a plastic planter. Mason bees are also less prickly than other bees. In the 12 years he’s been keeping them, Dubois has been stung just once. He figures he was tossing some old blooms into the compost and accidentally squeezed a small bee between his

Our View
Ad campaigns a poor choice Stephen Harper is one scary, scary dude. His continued presence in the prime minister’s chair threatens our very Canuck-ness. We know this, because we’ve seen it several times in advertisements We say: Federal that have filled our flatscreens parties rely every evening since the election was triggered. too much on And don’t get us started on that fearmongering Michael Ignatieff guy. Plenty of commercials have let us know the man is barely even Canadian. He’s going to sell us down the river for sure. Frightening. (For those not feeling the tone of
the above, insert sarcasm emoticon here). In reality, our prospective leaders are not quite as chilling as the lengths their parties will go to in their predictable bids to gain power by throwing heaping handfuls of mud at the other guy. As usual, the federal election campaign is taking the low road, launching an offensive blitz aimed at exploiting the Canadian public’s emotional hot buttons and pandering to our lowest common denominators. And that is why it was a pleasant change of pace to watch the five men chasing the provincial NDP leadership in action in Ladysmith Wednesday. Their lack of rancour was stunning.
This should not be construed as any indication the NDP hopefuls are different. We’ve seen Horgan and Dix carve up the Campbell Liberals before. What it does indicate is civility and co-operation is possibile among even the most ambitious souls when those souls have similar goals. We’d like to believe even Ignatieff and Harper (and Layton and Duceppe and May) share a goal of a strong and healthy Canada. Next month, we could have yet another minority government. Wouldn’t our country be better served by individuals who have shown the ability, or at least the desire, to get along? – Black Press
Good point: Fish While I completely support the title of Mike Moore’s recent letter (Wild fish important to the health of B.C. coast, April 13) the actual content was nothing more than a typical attack full of half-truths and flat out lies about salmon farming in B.C. Regrettably, after 19 years of being a salmon farmer, I find this to be quite typical prior to elections. Mr. Moore is concerned that a salmon farm located in Hoskyn Channel (east side of Quadra Island) may threaten the survival of out-migrating Fraser River sockeye, and asks that it be removed. He suggests that the number of active farms in the area is “six farms along this waterway alone.” That is wrong – there is one – and this information has been posted publicly since February at SalmonFarmers.org. For some important context – when last year’s record run of Fraser River sockeye went to sea in 2008, there were five sites in operation in Hoskyn and Okisollo Channel. Today there is one. But regardless of the number of sites operating, what’s important to understand is that all farms operate under strict regulations that ensure our fish are very healthy and that sea lice levels are very low to ensure no risk to out-migration fish – and all despite zero evidence that juvenile sockeye are actually harmed by sea lice (which they do host naturally even at a small size).

Questionable rankings are starting to smell
Alistair Taylor Out On A Limb
Rankings are all the rage these days: world’s most liveable cities; B.C.’s best elementary schools; Canada’s best places to live; the nation’s worst ranking surveys. Okay, the last one I made up. But it seems you can’t escape these rankings. They make good copy, as they say. I just read an article about the top 20 hardest working nations in the Organization for Economic Development (OECD). Canada placed fourth. That surprises me. But, like all these rankings, they’re highly interpretive not only by the people compiling the rankings but also by the media presenting them (and they’re not necessarily one and the same). The “hardest working” nations are actually the ones with
the most amount of average time workers spend on the job in a day. So, you may not be necessarily the most productive, you just may be in the office longer than the average in other countries. And that opens up a whole can of interpretations. I once had a reporter here who spent long hours at the office. Because he worked hard? Yes, he worked hard but, as he readily admits, he was slow. A great guy, he was perfectly happy to come back after supper to get his work done. He got it all done and on time. He just took a long time to do it. He probably pushed Canada’s ranking in the OECD study to fourth place by himself. So, what is this OECD ranking telling us? Whatever you want it to. And
that’s my point. Is Campbell River the fifth worst city in Canada? No, it placed fifth worst in a ranking of 180 municipalities, according to a limited set of criteria skewed towards economic indicators. We have a high unemployment rate (11 per cent). That was weighted heavily in MoneySense’s rankings. Is 11 per cent so bad? We lost two major industrial employers – of course we’re going to deal with a number of people out of work. But as many have pointed out, there’s a lot of of criteria that make up a good place to live. Many of those weren’t even considered by MoneySense. The criteria were selective and the interpretations are subjective. But you can’t beat a headline saying “Canada’s 10 worst municipalities.”
So, that’s why we’re going to do a ranking. H’mm, what will it be? How about: the 10 biggest lies about fish farming (could be pro or con)? The 10 most wasteful city projects. The top five most studied issues by council. What about Campbell River’s five most sacred cows? Unimpeded oceanfront view? The right to speed down Dogwood? A parking spot right in front of the store you want to go into at that moment? The right to pile as much garbage as you want on the curb and have it carted off to the dump at no extra cost? And, of course, the inalienable right to not have anything about your life changed in a way that inconveniences you in any way whatsoever – which is to say, never.

April is Parkinson’s awareness month April is awareness month for Parkinson's Disease and it is recognized internationally to coincide with the birth month of Dr. James Parkinson, for whom the disease was named. If you have Parkinson’s or know someone who does, you are not alone. This is the message that Parkinson Society British Columbia (PSBC) wants to convey to the 11,000 individuals living with Parkinson’s in the province. "The Society’s services include information, resources, and education for people living with Parkinson’s," said CEO Diane
Robinson. "We are reaching out so that we can help as many people as possible in BC and let them know that they are not alone in dealing with Parkinson’s." A member of the local self help support group comments on some of life’s challenges living with Parkinson’s disease. “I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1996, at the age of 46. Never - had I even considered that Parkinson's was the cause of the symptom's I was experiencing. I knew that old people could get this terrible disease but I was young, active, working, and living life
with passion. My husband and I had plans.” “Over the years, as the disease has progressed, I feel like I have become trapped in a body that rules my life. I feel tied to a medication alarm clock that dictates when and if I can do certain tasks or even function in a social setting. “My husband and I have the encouragement and support of family and friends, but it wasn't until we started to attend the local Parkinson's Self Help Support Group, that we experienced the support that can only come from those who are walking step by step down the same
Fish: Misinformation
Continued from A18 Fish health and sea lice information is also publicly posted. Mr. Moore then states that “every single channel and passage to the north of the Straight of Georgia has salmon farms situated in them.”
This is not quite true as Johnstone Strait, the largest channel of water that runs up the East side of Vancouver Island, has no salmon farms. I would kindly ask that before Mr. Moore jump on a political campaign, that he learn about the
subject he writes about and that the thousands of salmon far mers working in B.C. are awarded the common decency of fact checking before misinformation is printed in our local papers. Ian Roberts Campbell River
path. These wonderful people have helped my husband and I to feel that we are not alone in coping with the challenges we face every day. In 2010, PSBC contributed $320,000 to researchers in BC Dr. Martin McKeown, Pacific Parkinson’s Research Centre at U B C , D r. G o r d o n Rintoul and Dr. Frank Lee, Simon Fraser University, Catherine Winstanley and Kaitlyn Roland, both from UBC-Okanagan. Parkinson’s is the

second most common degenerative neurological disorder after AIzheimer’s. Parkinson’s is a cruel disease that affects not only the person with Parkinson’s but also their family. The symptoms are many and include tremor, rigidity, postural instability, difficulty talking, walking and swallowing, reduced facial expression, depression and dementia. It can strike anyone. There is currently no known cure.

Junior Ravens get set The Campbell River Ravens Jr B Lacrosse Club is preparing for its season and home opener
on May 1 at 3:30 p.m. at Strathcona Gardens. The team will be starting the season by facing off against last year’s Island champs, the Westshore Bears, and it is sure to be an action
packed game. The Ravens are part of the PNWJLL (Pacific Northwest Junior Lacrosse League). The 2011 Island league will consist of the Nanaimo Timbermen,
Cowichan Valley Thunder, Westshore Bears (Juan de Fuca), Vic Esquimalt Eagles, Saanich Braves and Penninsula Pathers. Admission: $3, child and family rates also.
The Campbell River Gymnastics Association (CRGA) sent 10 girls last weekend to the provincial championships held in Langely. All the best gymnasts in the province attend this competition and the CRGA girls could measure up against the best of them. C a m p b e l l R ive r started out the competition with their Level 2 Argo athletes. Rebecca Tazumi and Mackenzie Henderson performed well in a field of close to 50 athletes. Henderson was able to land her back walkover on
beam for the first time in competition and showed much improvement in her all around score to finish 25th in the all around. Tazumi had a big vault talking a few extra steps on the landing to finish fourth. Henderson also finished ninth on the bars and 18th in the all around. The next competition featured Campbell River’s Level 2 Novice athletes. Katie Lund lead the way with consistent and strong performances on all her apparatus. Lund Continued on A22

All three girls had great performances. Melissa MacAdam had a strong floor and vault to finish fourth on both of those events. MacAdam finished seventh in the all around.

Kyra finished fifth in a tight division where only less then 0.4 of a point was the difference between fifth and second all around. Tiffany Sharkie had a great competition becoming provincial champion both on the vault and the beam. Even with having two falls in the competition, Sharkie was able to come home with the silver medal all around only .3 away from coming home with the title. Aimee Clark was Campbell River’s last competitor and she did not disappoint. Although she did not have her best per-
formance on one of her strongest events (two falls on the beam) Clark was still able to capture the silver medal in the all around and take home another silver medal for her bar routine. This was a good competition to prepare for the Westerns, Clark had a much improved vault finishing fourth and added a twist to her flyaway dismount off the bars The athletes at CRGA have shown g reat improvements over the last year and have caught the eyes of not only other athletes, but the coaches and judges as well.
Campbell River boys show strong at provincials Campbell River’s male gymnasts put up strong results as well. Nathan Chow, Quinn Kuschel-Ross and Hugo Lalumiere all went to Langley for the Provincial Championships representing Campbell River Gymnastics Association (CRGA) . Lalumiere competed in the level one catergory coming home with scores that earned him a silver all around. Scoring over a 13 on an apparatus qualifies athletes in the level one division for a gold status on that apparatus. Lalumiere was able to attain that gold standard on three of his apparatus, floor, vault and parallel bars while receiving a silver on the rings and high bar and one bronze status on the pommel horse. In the level 2 division, Campbell River had one athlete in the
11 and older division and one athlete in the under-11 division. Kuschel-Ross had a strong competition, coming home the provincial champion on the rings. He also came home with medals on three other event medals as well as a bronze medal in the all around competition. Chow also had a great meet including becoming the provincial champion on the parallel bars, a silver medal on the rings and the bronze on the vault. Chow finished fourth just outside the medals. With this just the second year of boys competing out of CRGA, the boys have excelled in their divisions and have shown a lot of potential to really show a higher level of gymnastics in the years to come.

Campbell River Living Dragon boat team recruiting brave hearts W
hen you live in a city like Campbell River, it just seems natural to find something to do in or on the water. There are boats of every kind out there and, now that spring has arrived, you may have seen some long slim dragon boats in the estuary by the Tyee Spit. If you’ve wondered what dragon boating is all about, you will soon have an opportunity to find out. On Saturday, April 23 the BraveHearts Dragon Boat Team will be having an Open Boat and membership drive at Dick Murphy Park. The club is accepting new members, male or female, 19 years of age or older. Both cancer survivors and supporter members are welcome to join. Rain or shine, the boat will be leaving the dock between 1-1:30 p.m. after a mini-ceremony to “awaken the dragon”
so get there early to be part of the fun. Dragon boating originated in China over 2,000 years ago but was first introduced in Canada at Expo 86 in Vancouver. In 1996, Dr. Don McKenzie, a sports medicine physician at the University of British Columbia, launched Abreast In A Boat, the first Canadian Breast Cancer Dragon Boat team. He wanted to test the myth that repetitive upper-body exercise in women treated for breast cancer encourages lymphedema, a condition common to many Breast Cancer survivors. Dr. McKenzie believed that by following a special exercise and training program, women could avoid lymphedema and enjoy active, full lives. His theory was proven correct as no new cases of lymphedema occurred and none of the existing cases became worse.
The BraveHearts Dragon Boat Team participated in last year’s Discovery Passage Passage but they’re frequently seen paddling the Campbell River estuary. An Open Boat is being held April 23 to recruit new paddlers for this activity that provides exercise and camaraderie for cancer survivors.
that dragon boating can be beneficial for survivors of many types of cancer and can be enjoyed by people of any age. The BraveHearts Dragon Boat Team is operated under the non-profit group, The North Island Dragon Boat Society, and is Canada’s first co-ed
What started as one team of Breast Cancer survivors has now become a world wide phenomenon with there being over 200 similar teams. Since then, Dr. McKenzie has conducted similar tests on survivors of other types of cancer and has concluded
dragon boat team whose membership is open to survivors of all types of cancer. They are also accepting “supporter” members to join their boat crew. So, if you are a man or woman of adult age, are a cancer survivor, or would like to help offer your support by paddling as
an associate member, the team would like to meet you. If you are interested in joining this fun team, come to the Tyee Spit at noon on April 23 to find out more and be outfitted to board the dragon boat at 1 p.m. It is suggested that you wear rubber-soled
shoes, dress for the weather, and wear comfortable quick-dry clothing (no jeans). If you need more information contact the BraveHearts Dragon Boat team at: dragonriverracer@ msn.com or visit their website at: www. dragonboatnet.com/ Bravehearts

Drive Smart BC Your Drivers License Isn’t Yours Regardless of the fact that I paid $75 to renew my driver’s license, it isn’t mine. In fact, it states on the back of the license that “This card remains the property of the issuing agency and must be surrendered upon request.” If that request is made or the law requires its return there is no refund of fees and you must give it back. There are three circumstances where ICBC may request that the license be returned to them. The first is where a person owes a motor vehicle related debt to ICBC, was dishonest in supplying information to obtain the license or owes certain fines or monetary penalties to the Government of B.C. This situation will result in the cancellation of the license and a demand for its return. The second is where a person cannot find their driver’s license and has obtained a duplicate copy of the original license. If the original is subsequently found, the original must be returned to ICBC immediately. Once found, it is also an offence to use the original license in place of the duplicate. Finally, when a driver is prohibited or suspended from driving, they must immediately surrender the license when notified of the prohibition or suspension. In all cases, failing to surrender the license is an offence. A person found in possession of a license that was not surrendered as required faces a traffic ticket with a ticketed amount of $109. The author is a retired constable with many years of traffic enforcement experience. To comment or learn more, please visit www.drivesmartbc.ca. Cst. Tim Schewe (Rtd.), DriveSmartBC

When parenting roles reverse from being a child to caring for an aging parent many strong emotions and stresses come to the surface. Your involvement may be gradual or come suddenly but eventually there are many tough decisions that need to be made as parents enter their final years. The upcoming workshop, Care for Aging Parents, on Saturday may help you answer some of your questions about the best way to help meet your aging parents’ needs.
Mary Cook, a registered nurse case manager for Home and Community Care, will answer some of your questions such as: How can I make if safe for my parents to stay in their home? What equipment is available to make life easier for my parents? Is it time for my parent to move to a senior housing facility? This ElderCollege workshop is available to anyone aged 50 plus at a cost of $10. You can register in person at North Island College or online at www.nic. bc.ca/eldercollege.
Cookies: Helping raise funds for schoolmate Continued from A10 only that, Audet will be on several different medications once she has been released from hospital and will have to make follow-up trips to Vancouver for years to ensure she remains healthy. In the school’s most recent fundraiser, Audet’s teacher Kristiane Sormany Albert promises to cut her hair for the first time in 29 years. Albert will cut about eight to nine inches of her long, curly locks off
once the school manages to raise $2,000. So far, the school sits at $1,750. Haugen has raised $85 of that total through the sale of eight dozen cookies. Albert says she hopes to have raised enough money to have her hair cut by the end of April but if not, she will shed her locks at the end of the school year (June) and donate the hair to an organization that makes wigs for cancer patients.

FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 2011 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR |
Serious Coffee second place fundraiser Vancouver Island’s Serious Coffee raised $4500 for the Queen Alexandra Foundation for Children to help build Jeneece Place. The total was raised from a combination of donations collected at each cafe and two dollars from each sale of Jeneece’s Dream Roast, an organic coffee, custom roasted for this important cause. Each one of the 26 locally-owned and operated Serious Coffee locations that are only to be found
p
on Vancouver Island competed against one another to raise the most funds. The top fundraiser, Serious Coffee at the North Nanaimo Co-op near Pipers Lagoon, presented the cheque to charity on March 31, 2011. Chris Sihota, Manager of the winning Serious Coffee location, states, “We sincerely thank our staff for their hard work and our customers for their support in our effort to help make Jeneece’s dream
a reality.” Honorable competition mentions include the Campbell River Serious Coffee, who took a close second place and Port Alberni, who not far behind, captured third place. Clay Edghill, Owner and Manager of the Port Alberni location, deserves an honourable mention. He shaved off his mustache in an effort to raise more money for this cause. At the time of this release, the Jeneece
Place construction site excavation is in progress, and a ground-breaking ceremony is expected to take place in the near future. About Serious Coffee Locally owned and operated, Serious Coffee provides the freshest, just-in-time, air-roasted coffee on Vancouver Island. Brewed from the highest-quality Arabica beans available, this amazingly smooth cup of coffee does not have
the bitter aftertaste found in many other coffees. Selection of coffees includes organic, fairly-traded and chemical-free Swiss Water Process® decaffeinated. Serious Coffee owners are actively involved in their communities and have contributed to numerous fund-raising efforts over the past sixteen years.

Black Creek winery brings home gold from international competitions
C
oastal Black Estate Winery is a family owned and operated winery on Vancouver Island. It opened its doors late last summer and has seen tremendous success with their fruit wines. With over 800 acres at the base of Mt. Washington, and 80 acres of blackberries they are the largest cultivated blackberry farm in Canada. Coastal Black Estate Winery is also the home to nine different wines. Recently, the success of this local winery has gone International by winning a gold medal for their Blackberry Dessert Wine, two silver awards for the Blackberry Table Wine and Spiced Mead and rounding off the awards with a bronze for their Raspberry Dessert in the well known Finger Lakes
International Wine Competition. This prestigious competition had over 3,300 entries from 18 different countries and was a testament to all the hard work that goes into cultivating these award-winning wines. “Coastal Black Estate Winery is proud of these awards, not only because they were up against some hard competition but because they have a true love for great fruit wines and these awards are a symbol of the hard work and passion we put into making them,” said partner and wine maker, Abel O’Brennan. Coastal Black wines are currently being sold in more than 30 private liquor stores on Vancouver Island. “Locals love to support and purchase from local companies and we are having a

Today’s
About Coast Black Estate Winery Previously a family dairy farm in 2010 the family decided it was time for a change, and when it came right down to it they simply prefer wine over milk. They are now a budding fruit winery, situated on just over 800
acres, nestled at the base of Mount Washington, on the outskirts of the Comox Valley. The family farm is made up of four generations living and working together, to produce a product of the highest standard. Because of their large family, and insistence on good quality, they do all possible work themselves. Their blackberries are grown on site and spread over 80 acres, thus making them the largest cultivated blackberry farm in all of Canada. They handle all pollinating in the vineyard with their own bees, which also provides a unique signature blackberry honey, as well as a fine selection of Meads. They also have 20 acres of both blueberries and raspberries which adds to their fruit wine selection.
