Highway is an obstacle, firefighters union insists KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Zeballos woman not guilty of manslaughter PAUL RUDAN BLACK PRESS

A Zeballos woman who stabbed her common-law husband in the

heart has been found not guilty of manslaughter. Family and friends of Marguerite John gasped as B.C. Supreme Court Justice Douglas

Halfyard found her not guilty on Friday morning. “…the Crown has failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused did not act in

self-defence…It follows that, when the accused stabbed Russell John, she was not committing an unlawful act,” said the Continued on Page A2

The upgraded section of the Island Highway does pose a problem to emergency responders and the city is making excuses to avoid taking responsibility, says one firefighter. “I drive the route each day and my position from day one is that it’s a problem,” said Reid Wharton, president of the local firefighters union. “They’re telling us to take a $600,000 fire truck and hop a curb – wow. I’m pretty disappointed the city would tell us to do that.” City Manager Andy Laidlaw told city council last week the re-designed section of Highway 19A is not designed for a code 3 response (lights and sirens) but does leave enough space for large fire trucks to go around pulled over traffic during an emergency. He added if need be, emergency responders could mount the high sidewalk curbs to get around other vehicles. Laidlaw said he spoke with local emergency responders, including fire, ambulance and police, and all parties agreed the road standard, particularly the rock medians near Simms Creek, is not an impediment. Wharton said he was never consulted by the city and feels union members, who drive the road on a regular basis, could have provided the best input. “Certainly, no one ever talked to myself about it and as far as I know, the fire chief has never ridden in a fire truck, so how would he know?” said Wharton. “We’re the people who do it every day.

Continued from Page 1 judge. There was no argument that the 33-yearold stabbed Russell John, 41, in the heart on the mor ning of March 7, 2009. They had spent the previous night drinking, arguing and fighting in a trailer on the Ehattesaht First Nation Reserve. At some point she kicked Russell out of the trailer and he went to sleep at his uncle’s home nearby. In the morning, Marguerite awoke and was angry to find her trailer in disarray as well as her front door key missing.

Still drunk, she went to the house where Russell was to “straighten him out.” Russell was sleeping, and was still i m p a i re d h i m s e l f, when she slapped him to awaken him from his stupour. But he didn’t have her key and they began arguing again. And then she stabbed him once in the chest. The knife missed his ribs and punctured his heart. A pathologist testified at trial that it wouldn’t have taken much force to inflict the fatal wound. The defence offered no evidence at trial. But during the summation, Marguerite’s

lawyer, Chris Massey, said that Russell had charged Marguerite and that’s when she defended herself. Russell collapsed on the couch, bleeding profusely from the wound while Marguerite attempted to stop the blood loss and called 911. “I stabbed him in the chest…he’s bleeding to death, we need an ambulance fast!…Russell, wake up!” Marguerite said through her sobs, in an audio recording of the 911 call heard during the trial.But less than an hour later, Russell was dead. Soon after, Margue-

rite was charged with murder, but that was later reduced to manslaughter. She’s been on bail since then. The night before the stabbing, she had inflicted a minor cut to his chest with a knife, and in June 2007, she had stabbed him in the chest with a large piece of glass. For his part, Russell had four criminal convictions for assault. Two were for assaulting his former common-law wife and one for assaulting Marguerite in 2001. The court also heard that he had choked Marguerite on three previous occasions.

The two had lived together, off and on, for 12 years and had two children together. In his decision, Justice Halfyard said the Crown did not prove that Marguerite wasn’t acting in selfdefence and found her not guilty on the single count of manslaughter. Marguerite cried after hearing the decision and embraced family and friends outside the courtroom “Now you can go home and see your b ab i e s, ” s a i d o n e woman as she hugged Marguerite. paulr@campbellrivermirror.com

Firefighters: Dogwood Street even worse Continued from Page 1 think he’s just towing the line.” Fire Chief Dean Spry was at last week’s council meeting and sat with Laidlaw at the speaker’s table in support of the highway, but was not asked for his input from council. Wharton also takes exception with Laidl aw ’s c l a i m t h a t the highway is not

3X6

designed for emergency vehicles to pass at high speeds, with lights flashing and sirens blaring (code 3). “It’s pretty ironic for the city manager to say that, when the Island Highway is a major thoroughfare to Willow Point and the south end of the city,” said Wharton. “I don’t mean to knock our volunteers but we’ re making more and more trips down to Willow Point because the fact is, at the Willow Point volunteer fire hall, they’re having problems manning the truck. So our response time to the

Maryland Road area is 10 to 12 minutes and that’s unacceptable.” Wharton said leavi n g t h e h i g h w ay unchanged will mean a delay in response times. Council, based on Laidlaw’s recommendation, took no further action on the highway. Further problems Wharton said as bad as Highway 19A is, Dogwood Street is worse. He said the problem is the pre-emption lights; a controller which sits above the traffic lights and is activated by an emergency vehicle’s

siren. When the vehicle approaches with lights and sirens, it triggers a green light. “They don’t work properly,” said Wharton. “Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t and with the new one-way traffic system, all the traffic bottles up at the intersection. “It’s so bad we try to avoid Dogwood and instead go down to Alder.” Drew Hadfield, the city’s transportation manger, said the system is working as designed and there are “no issues as far as that goes.”

He added he has been dealing with the fire chief and deputy fire chief, not the firefighters union. “The goal (of the preemption lights) is to make the intersection clear so it’s safe for emergency vehicles to pass through and sometimes that takes a bit of time,” said Hadfield. If an emergency vehicle has triggered the green light, pedestrians are given the ‘Do not walk’ sign but are allowed 10 seconds to cross, which is one of the delays emergency responders encounter.

Bomb scare A Willow Point resident discovered a suspicious object lying on the street at the corner of Eardley and James roads at approximately 10 a.m. Saturday. RCMP officers responded and secured the area, the item was photographed and the images were sent electronically to the Explosives Disposal Unit. Based on their findings, members of the Explosives Unit responded and seized the flare-like item (inset photo left, above police cruiser’s bumper). The explosive, which is frequently used in industrial applications, was taken to a remote site and detonated. The origin of the item is unknown, however, Campbell River RCMP suspect that it likely fell from a vehicle passing through the area.

Homeowner gives chase

window of the car as the culprits fled.

Know anyone with an older model, dark brown car…with the rear window missing? The vehicle was used by a pair of thieves who tried to steal downriggers from a boat on Sunday night. According to RCMP, it was about 9:30 p.m., when a home owner in the 800 block of Alder St., noticed two males taking the downriggers from his boat. The owner gave chase as the thieves fled with one of the downriggers and tossed it into the back seat of the car. The owner then reached through the window, grabbed his downrigger and then used it to smash the rear

Break-ins and thefts A number of electronics items were stolen from a home in the 300 block of Westgate Road on April 13. Police are still looking for the culprits who entered the residence through a patio door. The same day, police were notified that a black 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 had been stolen from Browns Bay Marina. And on Saturday, around 5:15 p.m., Mounties were notified of a vehicle theft from the parking lot of London Drugs. The thief gained access to the locked dark blue 1999 Lexus RX300 with

B.C. plate 679 JAM.

Vandalism and taggers RCMP responded to complaints of vandalism in the area of 8th Avenue on April 12. It was shortly before 9 a.m. when a resident in the 800 block of 8th Ave. discovered that a window in his motorhome had been broken by a small projectile – likely a pellet. Officers later received a report of graffiti tagging at the rear of the Purolator building on 13th Avenue. Later, officers responded to a report of youths in an abandoned house in the 500 block of 8th Avenue that had been repeatedly vandalized.

WE’RE COMING BACK! Sunday, May 1st • 9am – 2pm What is a Green Cone? t A food waste digester that looks like a home composter but is much more. t Takes all types of food waste - meat, dairy, bones, vegetables - basically everything from the kitchen table. t No need to turn it, or empty it more than once every few years. t Using solar heat in combination with macro bacterial activity it breaks down waste aerobically into nutrient rich water that is absorbed into the soil, and a very small amount of residue. t An enclosed system means it doesn't attract vermin or any other animals. t It's easy to install, the hardest thing is digging a shallow (2') hole. All it needs is decent drainage and sunlight. t Accommodates all of the food waste of an average family of four or ﬁve. The “Green Cones” will go on sale Monday, April 18 for $120.00 including taxes. Residents can call 250-334-6000 or 1-800-331-6007 to place their order by no later than Friday, May 13, 2011. Green Cones MUST be pre-ordered and pre-paid.

RE-ESTABLISHING THE AGRICULTURAL ECONOMY

Local City sowing seeds of economic diversity business focuses T on local products KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

on Everett h a s c e n t re d his business around the ‘100-mile diet’ concept. Everett understands the value in locallygrown food and at his store, Local Market and Cafe, you will not find anything not produced on Vancouver Island. “I’m dealing with really, really local people,” says Everett. “And that means you’re eating way healthier. I’ve learned that it’s not only healthy to support your neighbour but it’s healthy for your body.” Everett, who is a logger by trade, opened his shop with the idea of selling fine crafted wood furniture and any other local products people were willing to sell whether it be soaps, birdhouses or hats. Everett soon found his furniture was not a big seller but the food was. “My whole focus was never to be a restauranteur, the idea was to support the community and give back,” he says. He does that by giving his business to local farmers. And in return, the customer is ensured a better product, without antibiotics or hormones injected into their meat. Everett buys his bison from a farm off Hamm Road and beef, lamb, chicken, turkey and pork comes from the Comox Valley area. He also purchases beef off a farmer from Sayward. The eggs come from a family in Merville and the honey comes from a beehive on Mount Washington. All the seafood found in the market comes from local fishers and the free-trade, certified organic coffee comes from Quadra Island. Vegetables are all grown locally, so if it’s Continued on A6

he city is going back to its roots in looking at new options for investment in Campbell River. The city’s economy has been founded on forestry, fishing and mining, three sectors that were at one time so lucrative there was no need for Campbell River to diversify economically. But times have changed. “Now we are facing, because of world economies, a different economic paradigm so we’re looking at options to re-identify ourselves so we’re much more resilient,” said Ross Blackwell, city land use manager. “One of the areas yet to be realized of its full potential is the agriculture industry.” Blackwell said Campbell River was in part founded on agriculture, with a number of founders working in the industry. The city wants to take a page out of history and is undertaking an agriculture plan to expose what Campbell River

has to offer in terms of land base. Consultants working on the plan discovered Campbell River has many thousands of acres of land in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), which includes private and public lands that may be farmed, forested or kept vacant. “We have a substantial amount of land classified as prime agriculture land and it’s as good as land in the lower Fraser Valley,” said Blackwell. “We have this fabulous land base, it’s just not being used for agriculture. We have what we need to have a viable, flourishing industry that can create jobs.” Not only is the value in jobs, but in better eating habits. Locally grown food is more nutritious and flavourful than when imported, as food loses its nutrients each mile it travels. Blackwell said more and more people are becoming aware of the value of buying food produced closer to home. “There’s a remarkable shift in the thinking of this. Before,

OLD OR NEW, 2X2CLASSIC OR CLUNKER WE FIX THEM ALL!

as a society, we went with mass produced food that was based on volume, not quality,” said Blackwell. “The flavours weren’t really there. But the flavour’s going to be far better, stronger and richer when you bring in fresh, local produce. It may look the same, but it will taste totally better.” The agriculture plan should be complete by early summer and is designed for use by city staff, Rivercorp and possibly the Chamber of Commerce to help attract investment. It will also lay the roadmap in terms of constraints, opportunities and next steps. “It’s something that you certainly will not see flourish overnight but instead grow over time,” said Blackwell. “Campbell River is at a crossroads and it’s a good time to embrace this industry.” The public is invited to attend an open house to review and discuss the building blocks of the agriculture plan April 27 at the Sportsplex in Willow Point at 6 p.m.

Luisa Richardson What is the number one cause for increased water use in summer? A. Filling pools and hot tubs B. Tourism C. Leaks in the water distribution system D. Inefficient lawn and garden watering by residential customers Surprise - 50 per cent of Campbell River residents are not aware that lawn and garden irrigation causes average residential water use to increase threefold over winter use. Plus, 40 per cent of residents are not aware that the summer increase occurs at peak periods during the hottest weather (The correct answer was D). At this rate of use, demand exceeds water system capacity. Recent surveys show that not everyone understands the local reality of water supply and over-use. Over the next weeks, the Campbell River Mirror will showcase a series of articles to provide surprising information on water efficient lawns and gardens. Become well-informed about water issues in the Campbell River area and help lead the move toward efficient water use. Coming topics include: Brown, green or in between?

TMJ Pain: What To Do When It Hurts To Chew

Should I take my CPP at 60? It all depends on your personal financial situation. With the new CPP rules, you must continue to contribute to CPP from age 60 to 65 if you are still working, regardless of whether you start taking your CPP payments. If you don’t need the Peter Garat money, but want to start the benefit at 60, you can direct this amount to a Certified Financial Planner monthly purchase of RRSPs to offset the taxes that will be owing at the end of the year. Taxes are not withheld from CPP so the amount is added to your gross income and could bump you up a tax bracket. Another option is to use the new cash flow from the CPP payment to build your Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA). This is a great way to build tax free savings for retirement income, for emergencies, or even for topping up your RRSPs should your income be higher than anticipated. As a rule, you should consult your financial advisor for all options before deciding whether or not to take CPP payments at age 60.

Does your jaw click when you open your mouth or chew? If so, this can be an early symptom of TMJ problems. The Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) is the joint that allows the jaw Kowalchuk, to move. It is located directly Jason Physiotherapist in front of the ear, and can be felt with your ﬁnger tips when opening and closing the mouth. Signs and symptoms of TMJ dysfunction can include pain, clicking when opening the jaw, inability to open the mouth fully, and headaches. Treatment can include manual therapy techniques to restore normal movement, education, modalities to reduce pain and inﬂammation, exercises to improve muscular control, and acupuncture.

Campbell River has a temperate, humid climate which is very appealing to fleas yearround. Many pet owners prefer to wait until their pets get infested with fleas and then treat with a product to kill the fleas. In the past when toxic dips, powders and collars were the only products available to kill fleas, this was the best practice. Most modern flea products used properly have a very high safety margin and so monthly Dr. Kevin Penner prevention is generally recommended over a Veterinarian more reactionary approach. Fleas have 3 life stages, the adult which lives on animals, as well as egg and larvae which live in the environment. The environment includes carpets, couches, beds and basically everywhere a flea infested pet might go. In 60 days a single adult flea can responsible for an infestation of 20 000 adult fleas along with 160 000 eggs and larvae. By the time you notice fleas on your pet, you could already have a big problem in your house. Flea allergy is the single most common allergy in dogs and cats.

What does anti-aging strategies and treatments mean?

Your first step is a LARGE water change. Removing leaves, and pond muck that has accumulated over the fall and winter is very important to the health and beauty of the pond. Next, replace the foam in your filter, lubricate your pond filter gaskets, and possibly replacing the UV light is in order. UV bulbs must be replaced after Sarah Kirk 12 months of use. Even if the light is still on, the Owner UV bulb is no longer effective. Replace the water you have removed from your pond using “Water Prep” for removing Chlorine and helping reduce the stress to the fish. Check all water return lines for any leaks that may have developed over winter, and plug it all in. Check your plants for growth and plan which you will need to re-pot this year. Give your pond a boost of good bacteria using “Bio-Booster” which will not only help your fish growth and intensify colors but it also makes your filter more efficient, and use an appropriate amount of “Bio-Sludge” to help break down remaining leaves and muck. Now is the time to add “Barley Straw Pellets”. These will slowly break down over the next 3 months which will help control some algaes. Remembering to change 10% of your pond water on a weekly basis will also help reduce the amount of algae in the pond and remove harmful nitrates. Weekly dosing of “Bio-Booster” and “Bio-Sludge” along with your water changes will make your pond healthier and a pleasure to look at! Next step...FISH!

I don’t own much, do I still need a will?

How do I know how much life insurance I need?

Yes, if you have a small estate or very little money then it is even more important that Gurdeep Sidhu, CGA you have a will. Notary Public If you have a lot of money you can hire lawyers, afford to pay the additional court cost and other extra expenses. By having a will in place you can avoid unnecessary legal fees and more importantly delays.You can be sure that your estate goes to the beneﬁciary than legal fees.

Typically you need enough coverage to ensure your family can continue to live their current lifestyle and is not left buried in debt if the main breadwinner passes away. Paying off your mortgage, equity lines of Darlene Garat credit and having at least $10,000 for Financial Advisor ﬁnal expenses is essential. To this add balances owing on any additional lines of credit, credit cards, vehicle loans, student loans, and personal loans. Owning a personal life insurance policy designed to cover these debts, preferably for the remaining term of your mortgage, will eliminate most debt, and keep your family in their home. If children are still young and very dependent, it is recommended that you add to the insurance contract a multiple of earnings to provide replacement income to allow the surviving spouse to be able to focus on your family, and possibly their education to increase earning potential for future ﬁnancial security.

Now is a great time to look at investing in a vacation property in the United States. There are two ways to go about Susan Grundison, Mortgage Specialist it. First you could find a property and go through a US bank. The down payment is a minimum of 30%. The approval process is difficult, it can take up to one month, and I have seen clients become very confused with the terms and conditions of American mortgages. The paperwork required is very extensive. The other choice that most of our clients prefer is to refinance their home in Canada if they don’t have the resources to pay cash. We have a wonderful homeline product that will allow you to access 80% of the value of your home, and you could choose to pay interest only payments or you could ‘lock in’ some or all of the balance at today’s low rates.You are essentially paying cash for the house by using your Canadian assets, therefore you have a smoother process. Many clients have their homelines set up in advance so that when they go on their house hunting trip, they are ready and able to make an offer. I am an owner of a property in the United States, I can offer you professional advice based on my personal experience. 1290 Shoppers Row 250.204.2818 susanne.grundison@rbc.com

Most manufacturers recommend that you inspect your RV’s sealants monthly, but a good rule of thumb is to perform a thorough inspection of your RV’s sealants from top to bottom at least twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring.You want to look for cracks and missing sealant along all seams.

Our View

Justice denied – this is an election issue Health care. Education. The Harmonized Sales Tax. There’s no shortage of hot-button issues clamouring for government attention as a possible provincial election looms. But there’s an even bigger elephant We say: B.C.’s in the room, one that has been aillegal system is in ing for nearly a decade and by many accounts, is now in danger of colbig trouble lapsing. B.C.’s legal system is in big trouble. Justice Denied, the five-week Black Press online investigation into the various components of the system, has revealed a precarious house of cards. Provincial funding cuts dating back to 2003 have

reduced the number of sitting judges, fuelling a trial backlog that increasingly lets criminals go free because of unconstitutional delays. The result? More than 2,100 cases are now at risk of being tossed out of court due to waits that threaten to violate the accused’s right to be tried within a reasonable time. Savvy defence lawyers are exploiting the dysfunction in the system to their advantage. Accused criminals – some charged with serious crimes such as impaired driving causing bodily harm – are getting away scotfree without having to face their victims or be accountable for their actions. The considerable efforts of police officers are being wasted, not to mention the taxpayer money used to pay them for investigations,

forensic work and testimony that are all for naught once the suspect walks. But perhaps the hardest hit are the victims – regular people impacted by crime who have no choice but to rely on a deteriorating legal system for relief. The verdict on the possibility of a quick fix is grim. B.C. Attorney General Barry Penner told Black Press he would like to provide additional dollars, but there’s only one pot of money to support myriad public services and indeed, only one taxpayer. If Premier Christy Clark is serious about her “Putting Families First” platform, fixing B.C.’s debilitated justice system must be among her top priorities. – Black Press

Fall election likely The B.C. legislature is getting set for a spring session from the last week of April through May. Premier Christy Clark has kept her options open and held her cards close since winning the B.C. Liberal leadership in February. She announced Monday that she is seeking the nomination to fill the seat vacated by Gordon Campbell, with a byelection expected in May. But a byelection would have had to be called by now to put Clark back on the front bench in time for the start of the spring session. And there are two legislative tasks that won’t wait: passing a $40-bilTom Fletcher lion budget for the fiscal year that B.C. Views has already started, and changing the format and date of the harmonized sales tax referendum that has been announced for June. A spring session must begin with the new premier coaching from the sidelines, but assuming Clark wins in Vancouver-Point Grey, it sets up her triumphant return to square off with the new NDP leader in question period before the session ends in early June. A mail-in ballot for the HST referendum will allow several weeks for responses to be sent in. The government now says it will be August before the result is known. Continued on A19

It’s certainly not like sitting in Vancouver’s traffic

Paul Rudan No, really

Big city drivers complain when they’re stuck in the morning and evening traffic. Here, in the relative remoteness of upper Vancouver Island, you can also get stuck in the Inside Passage waters a couple of times daily. But few people ever complain. There are no honking cars and barking drivers beside the log boom sticks north of Seymour Narrows. You might hear a barking sea lion or the put-put from a vessel’s diesel engine, but all else is quiet other than the rhythmic lapping of water against the hull. It’s Monday night and we’re “stuck” at Elk Bay waiting for the tide to slacken through the treach-

erous Narrows. It’s no use trying to buck the tide either in the MV Aurora Explorer, a 135-foot landing craft operated by Marine Link Tours. It’s better and safer to wait. Cheaper on gas too. So we gather in the cosy lounge/ dining area after a heroic feast of homemade lasanga and Caesar salad. Oh my gosh, there’s cake and cookies too. “We’ll kill you with kindness!” says company owner Guy Adams, a mountain of a man with a sense of humour to match. With no radio to fiddle with to pass the time – heck, we can barely get cell phone reception – the dozen-or-so passengers on board spend the hours

getting to know each other, mainly by telling stories and tall tales of the coast. In was here, just above on the bluffs overlooking Elk Bay, that one of the biggest bombs in Hollywood history was made. In the late ’90s, The 13th Warrior was primarily filmed in a pseudo Viking village, specially built for the occasion. I kind of liked the film, but it still lost $100 million. Perhaps the producers should have stuck with the original title, Eaters of the Dead. But the village exists now only in memory, like so many others along this working coast. Other passengers recall the count-

less other village sites, built around commercial fishing, canneries, logging and mining. Most are long-gone too, visible only by the rusting remnants of civilization being overtaken and consumed by the bush. We trade stories of heroic pioneers, legendary native leaders, flimflam men, and a host of other coastal characters whose histories appear in the many books crammed into the ship’s shelves. And before you know it, four hours have slipped by with the tide. The deckhand, engineer and captain work together to get us going and we head south into the moon-lit night. paulr@campbellrivermirror.com

New CEO to take the reins at Rivercorp In an effort to rejuvenate Rivercorp, a new Chief Executive Officer has been announced for the organization. Vic Goodman, who brings almost two decades of leadership experience, joins Rivercorp Monday, July 4. Goodman wants to bolster Rivercor p, which has recently been criticized by city councillors for failing to do the job it was intended to do. “I plan to build on economic and community efforts that have been made to date in Campbell River and continue its growth as a premier place to live, work and play,” says Goodman. “I will collaborate with local leaders, businesses and community organizations to outline clear competitive advantages that will help area businesses and attract

visitors and investors to the region. I want Rivercorp to nurture regional pride, focus community economic development on sustainable principles, and create a culture of entrepreneurship in the community.” Goodman brings a long list of experience to the job. He has been a member of the Saskatchewan Food Processors Association Board of Directors, Director of Strategic Business Development at SaskTel, a venture capital broker, a strategic management consultant and contract executive, and a consultant with the Business Development Bank. Goodman holds Bachelor degrees in political science and law from the University of Saskatchewan and a Masters degree in busi-

ness administration from the University of Victoria. “I am very happy that Rivercorp has made another major step forward in revitalizing our economic development initiatives,” says Mayor Charlie Cornfield. “To have attracted someone with Mr. Goodman’s experience and skills speaks well of our community and of the Rivercorp team, both staff and Board members.” Goodman has worked extensively with small and medium-sized enter prises across western Canada. He has led a large re gional economic development organization, the marketing makeover of a tourismoriented multipurpose event complex and economic development projects with several First Nations clients

in Saskatchewan. Ben Chalmers, Rivercorp Board chair, says the organization is glad to have Goodman on board. “We are very pleased to welcome Vic Goodman to the Rivercorp team,” he says. “With the help of the Rivercorp Board, city and community stakeholders, Victor will set out an ambitious and comprehensive three-year plan for Rivercorp with objectives and goals that will position Campbell River as an economic development leader on Vancouver Island.” Goodman’s initial p r i o r i t i e s i n cl u d e reaching out to Campbell River businesses and the community to familiarize himself with economic development needs, as well as gathering information to establish Rivercorp’s

where he hands out brochures with his picture, not Campbell’s. But the policychallenged opposition has offered up another attack ad featuring, you guessed it, a picture of Campbell on a cereal box. For the B.C. Liberals, the policy hits keep coming. First it was increasing the minimum wage, and now Clark’s “families first” machine is moving on BC Hydro. Rich Coleman has a well-earned reputation for getting things done and he has wasted no time since Clark assigned him

to the energy file. BC Hydro will continue with its application to raise rates nearly 10 per cent this year, but Coleman has begun a review aimed at paring back that and future increases expected to total 50 per cent by 2016. Coleman quickly determined that delaying the imminent launch of BC Hydro’s smart grid project would be a false economy. Instead, he focused on an expensive seismic upgrade, to the Ruskin Dam in the Fraser Valley. A major upgrade to the John Hart Dam on the Campbell River will likely go ahead, since

the reservoir is also the city of Campbell River’s water supply, but Coleman wants BC Hydro to “restate its business case” for that and other big construction projects. The Ruskin project is budgeted at about $800 million and is the type of project that can encounter costly surprises when digging into the dirt. Coleman has directed BC Hydro to look at decommissioning the old dam instead. Did he really “direct” BC Hydro? Here’s what Coleman told me. “It’s still Hydro’s decision at the end of

goals for attracting and retaining business. Working with the Rivercorp Board to develop a strategic plan for the organization, Goodman expects to implement mechanisms to help Rivercorp act on good ideas from Campbell River’s business leaders and entrepreneurs. Goodman will continue efforts already underway to improve how Rivercorp communicates with the public, which include a newly-established quarterly newsletter and social media outreach through Facebook and Twitter. The Campbell River Economic Development Corporation, Rivercorp, is responsible for Economic Development, Tourism Campbell River & Region and the Campbell River Visitor Centre.

Fletcher: TV ads signal election preparations Continued from A10 Clark has indicated she wants the HST question decided before a general election is called. Thus a September vote becomes the most likely scenario. The launch of TV ads by both B.C. parties is another sign of election preparations. Any new leader wants to take advantage of a honeymoon period that might be brief, and Clark’s upbeat ads with the tagline “this is just the start” set the tone. NDP leadership candidate John Horgan talks about looking forward to a campaign

the day I suppose, but certainly they’re going to have to report in to me on it, because I told them they have to.” Coleman has also appointed three senior bureaucrats to find options for savings in BC Hydro’s plan, and to report back to him by the end of June. That will give the government enough time to craft a rate relief program for BC Hydro customers, just in time for September.

This year, reacquaint yourself with the Easter story. The congregation of Campbell River United Church invites you to join them in their worship services commemorating Jesus Christ’s final days, his crucifixion, and resurrection on Easter morning. All are welcome. The Maundy Thursday service on April 21 remembers the Last Supper with quiet, reflective prayers and songs in the Taize tradition. It will be held at 7:30 pm at the United Church. A joint Good Friday service on April 22 at 10 am will also be held at the United Church where we will be joined by the con-

of the Cross” on Good Friday. The Easter service will be on Sunday, April 24 at 10 a.m. The United Church Choir has been working very hard to learn the Easter cantata “Come Walk with Me”, music by Pepper Choplin and words by Stan Pethel. The music is “richly beautiful” and “intensely intimate” and walks us through Holy Week to the resurrection of our Christ. Composer Pepper Choplin explains, “I was striving to compose sacred musicmusic that conveys these profoundly sacred moments in Jesus’ life. I tried to carefully craft the music to convey the

gregations of the St. Peter’s Anglican and Trinity Presbyterian churches. Worship leadership will be shared by Rev. John Green from Trinity Presbyterian, Rev. Dr. Blair Haggart from St. Peter’s Anglican and Wayne Hughes from the United Church. A massed choir under the leadership of Cindy Taylor and accompanied by Nicole Taylor will present three musical offerings: “Jesus is the Living Stone”; “The Power of the Cross”; and “Deep, Deep, Love”. The combined voices of these three choirs are powerful and it will be exciting to share in this experience. Come and experience the “Power

Look to the Rainbow showcases Singers’ range The Campbell River Singers’ spring concert will appeal to a broad range of musical tastes. Selections for Look To The Rainbow, the choir’s spring concert, were chosen by conductor John Montgomery and span a range of musical genres. There are light classical pieces such as Alleluia and Cantate Brasilia! which gives a

contemporary Samba rhythm to traditional Latin text. The Spinning Song will bring back memories for those who took piano lessons as a youngster. Traditional spirituals are given a new twist with Swing Low performed with a Doo Wop backdrop, while the well-known Battle of Jericho is a showstopper with a stirring

arrangement by Mark Hayes. Broadway is also represented in Look to the Rainbow with a selection from the musical Finian’s Rainbow. Rounding out the presentation is the Celtic inspired Dover Cliffs, a Swing/Jazz medley, and other jazz standards. Special guest for this concert is Fiddlejam, a diverse group of fiddle

players and accompanists, based in Comox ranging in age from six to ninety-six. Mark May 1 on the calendar, call up a friend and come enjoy a fun after noon of music and song. Tickets are available at the door, from choir members, or at Odyssey Computers downtown. The concert takes place at St. Peter’s Anglican church at 2 p.m.

Passive Agressive work on display Two new exhibits are at the Campbell River Art Gallery . Artist Linda Findlay, who spoke at the gallery last week,takes the minutiae of life seriously. She goes all the way to the microscopic for her subject matter. “When I was first introduced to images f ro m t h e e l e c t ro n microscope I was captivated by the delicate and complex beauty of single cell life,” she says. When news stories and images of virulent bacteria and viruses went public during the SARS outbreak, Findlay was captivated by the dichotomy between

dichotomy in Passive Aggressive a collection of work that provides a visual metaphor for the unseen in our lives (April 15 - May 20). Infor mation System reveals Ontario artist Marijo Swick’s explorations of the relationships between science, faith, destiny and choice. Her multi-media paintings will be on exhibit in the Discovery Gallery (April 15 to July 1). Swick experiments

with combinations of digital painting, conve n t i o n a l d r aw i n g and painting, graphic design, mixed media, fo u n d o b j e c t s a n d printed text. The identities of science and faith, are often seen in opposition, but Swick unites them in her paintings. In all her work, Swick’s use of multiple media represents how the complex coding of DNA and the unique variety human experience creates identity.

The final featured Nanaimo and Crush. The two teams have battled in previous tour naments and Nanaimo had really improved, so the local

girls knew it would be the toughest match of the tournament. T he match went three sets. In all three games, Crush was in a deficit and had to claw out wins. T he scores were 25-19, 19-25 and 15-11.

really tight and making too many mental errors. And then Crucsh got the side out as Keltie Pike went back to serving bullets against Nanaimo. This made it so difficult for Nanaimo to launch an attack. Kelsey Bergey and Brechan Campbell got a few key blocks that really frustrated Nanaimo. The last

few points included two unbelievably hard kills from power hitter Sophie Cameron who was determined to put that set away. Ashley Simpkins, the other power hitter, played amazing defense and was so steady all day. The team will spend the next few weeks preparing for the provincial and national championships.

“We have lots to work on, but the girls are really excited to be Island champs,” said Philp. You can see the girls in action tonight (Wednesday), when they take on the Timberline alumni squad which captured the provincial high school title in 2007. Game time is 6 p.m. in the Timberline gym.

as being an outlet of physical exertion that is unequaled in any other sport.” Judo parent Monica Stewardson says of her son Quin’s involvement in the club, “Quin’s enjoyment of judo has been due in large part to his instructors, who are able to motivate the beginners by pushing them to work hard and learn the skills of the sport while at the same time maintaining a level of fun in the classes. There is a genuine family atmosphere at the club and we look forward to getting to know more of the members. It has been great to see Quin’s confidence grow over the season, and the pride he feels when he achieves each milestone in his training.” Another parent, Lorna Hallson says, “I am inspired by the judo club and this donation. “In this challenging, changing global economy it is good to know that an international corporation such as Greig has this level of dedication to this community. “Now, in times when deep financial cuts greatly impact the education, health and future of our kids, Grieg has stepped in.

Campbell River

The Campbell River Judo Club (CRJC), which has been a cornerstone of the Campbell River sports scene since 1966, has a new best friend in Grieg Seafoods. Grieg’s has contributed $10,000 to the Campbell River Judo Club’s building expansion project. It became apparent several years ago, that the CRJC was out of space to accommodate all of the students and classes that were needing more mat space to workout properly. So an initiative was launched to increase the size of their building and double the mat/workout area. Through a grassroots fundraising effort from instructors, students and committed parents, a total of $28,000 was raised. Under a provincial government grant program, this amount was promised to be matched by government gaming funds. However, when government funding commitments were left unfulfilled, CRJC was left on the hook with a half-built, unfinished and unusable expansion that had depleted all of their funds raised by volunteers simply to get it to the unfinished stage. A couple of parents of kids involved at the CRJC presented the cause to Grieg Seafoods as a possible candidate for some sort of corporate sponsorship. Grieg Seafoods stepped up to the plate, deciding that the Campbell River Judo Club was a worthwhile investment into the community’s youth and sports programming and committed the $10,000 towards the completion of the club’s unfinished

According to Kevin Harrison, principal of Timberline, the purpose of the day is to raise awareness around environmental issues and connect student and staff to the school’s stewardship initiative to “build a healthier environment, a stronger community and a

Managing 4x10 Your Money MANAGE YOUR–MONEY Debt danger! know the warning signs and solutions If your debt load is heavier than you want it to be, you are not alone. According to Statistics Canada, Canadian household debt-to-income ratios have reached record highs – ranging above 148 per cent1, which means that Canadians owe $1.48 for every dollar of disposable income they have. Here are a few strategies for lightening your load. Take charge of your cards A high credit card limit can be a bene¿t or a trap – if it inÀuences you to buy more than you can afford. Spend more than you can pay off each month and the interest – often at rates more than 20 per cent – really builds up on the balance. The key: pay off your credit card balance each month. You’ll avoid debt and take full advantage of any reward points offered by your card(s). Check your impulses That giant TV certainly looks great – but do you really need it? The key: Think before you buy, weigh your options and make prudent purchase decisions. You’ll avoid escalating debt and lingering buyer’s remorse. Take command of your life Establish a realistic strategy for saving toward your most important life goals. The keys: First, reduce ‘bad’ debt (credit cards). Explore debt consolidation and a monthly debt reduction plan. Second, start an emergency reserve fund, perhaps in a TaxFree Savings Account (TFSA).

better world.” The day starts with hot chocolate, coffee and goodies donated by Tim Horton’s in the cafeteria foyer. At 9 a.m. everyone will gather in the gym. This will be followed by keynote speaker Zach Whyte. At 9:30 a.m. there will be several draws for prizes and then everyone will be off to their first presentation of the day. Clay Carlson, one of the chief organizers of the event says, “I have been amazed at the generosity of the community in stepping forward to bring their environmental expertise into our school. Many of these people have taken time off work and have travelled from afar just so they can present their message to our students, staff and community.” Carlson says that about 25 guests will be doing presentations at the school on Thursday. A highlight

on Thursday morning will be a presentation in the theatre by Campbell River’s own Damien Gillis. Gillis is a B.C. documentary film maker with a focus on environmental and social justice issues related to water, energy and saving Canada’s wild salmon stocks. At 11:30 a.m., students, staff and community members will be treated to a barbeque in the courtyard and cafeteria sponsored by Save-On Foods. There will entertainment and more draws during this time. Starting at 12:30 p.m., students and staff can choose from several outdoor activi-

ties that include beach study and clean up, estuary canoeing, forest clean up, building an edible schoolyard and more. There will also be an environmental film festival that will include David Suzuki’s new film Force of Nature. The day will end with everyone meeting in the gym at 2:15 to tour the Eco Fair (open all day to the public) and take part in the major draws that include a commuter bike from Pedal Your World. So drop by Timberline’s Environmental Stewardship Day to find out more about environmentally friendly products at the Eco Fair that runs all day in the gym. The public can also view Force Of Nature at 7 p.m. in the Timberline Theatre. Tickets are $5 at the door with all proceeds going to eco-friendly projects. Call 250-923-9500 for information.

Fourth, fund your children’s education with Registered Education Savings Plans (RESPs). And a very important ¿fth, fund your retirement by contributing to a Registered Retirement Savings Plan. You can even pay off some of your debt or add to your savings with the tax refunds you’ll get. Protect your credit rating Be sure the information in your credit report is accurate by checking it at least once a year and reporting any inaccuracies. (The two major Canadian credit rating/reporting agencies are Equifax Canada, Inc., www. equifax.com. and TransUnion Canada, www.transunion.ca.) The keys to maintain a good credit score: • Establish a credit history by, for example, applying for a credit card that you use for monthly expenses and paying off the balance each month. Married couples should have credit arrangements for each spouse so they have their own credit history.

• Be careful about cosigning another person’s loan. By doing so, you accept responsibility for the debt and the information is included on your credit report. • Pay bills on time. Pay just one day late and it appears on your credit report as a late payment. It’s better to pay the minimum than miss a payment. • Limit your credit. Every time you apply for credit it is noted on your credit history, even if you never use it. Lightening your debt load, saving more, planning for a ¿nancially secure future – whatever your goals, your professional advisor can help you get there. 1The Daily, Monday, December 13, 2010 This column, written and published by Investors Group Financial Services Inc.

a stop in Cathedral Grove on the way to see some gigantic trees, or visit the old trail in the Pacific Rim National Park. The most dominant trees found in the old growth rain forests are the Douglas fir, cedars, Sitka spruce, hemlock and yews; some of these trees can grow to be up to 70 meters tall and as old as 750 years. The old growth forest is always growing producing more wood, needles, roots and more plant life, this is due to the climate which rarely freezes and allows growth during other forests’ dormant winter months. This continuous growth allows them to store vast amounts of water in their sapwood to be used in times of drought. These vast trees are home to many wildlife species and some that are endangered like

the marbled murrelet, a sea auklet that nests up on a tree branch in a moss nest hidden from view. On the east side of the Island, there are other unique forests especially in the gulf Islands and the Saanich Peninsula which are both part of the Maritime eco-system supporting unique forests of both Gary Oaks and Arbutus trees. However, only halfa-per cent of the original forests still remain. Our forests not only provide a perfect habitat for a variety of birds, animals, amphibians, reptiles and insects, they also support the shrubs and other plant life that sustains them. We all need to respect the forests that have taken thousands of years to evolve, some forest types risk disappearing forever due to past carelessness on our part.

Creative Alternatives to Easter Egg Hunts Coloring Easter eggs, hiding them and hunting for them has been a holiday staple for generations. Every now and then, Easter celebrants desire something different to make this year’s fun unique. There are several different ways to celebrate Easter that don’t have to involve hidden eggs. Try out these ideas for some enjoyment. • Pin the tail on the Easter bunny: Make a variation on the donkey game by drawing (or buying) a picture of a bunny. Glue some cotton balls to a piece of cardboard to make tails, using double-sided tape on the back. Spin kids around and have them try to attach the tail • Treasure hunt: Instead of children racing around to ﬁnd hidden eggs, parents can draw up a treasure map that takes the children, via different clues, to a special treasure hidden. It could be

a chocolate bunny or a basket of treats. • Who Am I? Print Easterrelated phrases onto cards that then attach to a headband or hat with a small piece of tape or Velcro-type material. The person has to guess the word (without seeing what it is) by the clues others provide. • Easter crafts: Scour the craft store for wooden eggs, crosses, baskets, and similar items. Purchase colored pencils or water colors and encourage children to decorate their items. This can keep children busy after the meal when adults want to socialize. • Relay races: Enjoy any number of outside games (weather permitting), including relay races with the family. • Fashion show: Little girls can model their Easter bonnets and frilly dresses for a family audience.

• Lucky duck: Parents can create the carnival game at home by marking a painted dot under a few of several rubber ducks that are aﬂoat in a bucket, bathtub or kiddie pool. The children who pick a duck with a mark on the bottom win a prize. Paid Advertisement

IN MEMORIAM

One day I looked in the mirror, but did not see myself, though I saw a familiar face I had not seen in years, that was the day of realization. I realized that though I had very few years with you, you still had the biggest impact on my life, you made me who I am, the only person I could ever dream to be like. I'm told almost everyday, "You are you're mother", and to me, that means the world. I still think about you everyday and miss you more than ever, but no matter what happens, you'll always be my mom, and I'll always cherish that. I love you, forever and always, Angels on your pillow, sleep tight, don't let the bed bug's bite.

XOXO, Love Karis

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 2011 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR |

Continued from B10 Agri-Food Canada, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Natural Resources Canada, and 10 per cent of funding (the amount going to GMO biotech) from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and the National Research Council (NRC). “Here in Vancouver Island North, agriculture and agri-business play a key role in our local economy

and community. If we are to preserve that, we need a government with a fresh, sustainable vision for our agriculture sector. A Green vision,” said Moen. “We must change our farm support payments to reward smaller and family farmers for staying on the land and allow new farmers access to land. “Value-added processing including local abattoirs, canning and freezing facilities,

greenhouses using renewable energy, among other initiatives, responsible waste management, and support for worker and producer cooperatives are essential to increase local food selfsufficiency.”

Leonard: Be clear on the oil tanker ban On the oneyear anniversary of the oil spill

disaster in the Gulf Coast, Vancouver Island North NDP candidate RonnaRae Leonard is calling on Conservative John Duncan to be clear about his position on a ban on oil tankers along B.C.’s north coast. “At an all candidates’ meeting last week in Port McNeill, Duncan indicated that he agreed with all the other candidates that we should ban oil tankers along our north coast,”

said Leonard. “But in a column printed in one of our northern papers on the same day, he said something very different.” In the April 14, 2011 edition of the North Island Gazette, Duncan rebuffed calls for a tanker ban, writing “Our Conservative party

has no plans to re-open the 1988 Exclusion Zone on tankers travelling between Alaska and Washington State.” Duncan Conservatives also voted en masse against a New Democrat motion to support a tanker ban, Leonard said. And on Sunday in

B19

Vancouver, Stephen Harper said that the Conservatives would refuse to legislate a tanker ban on BC’s north coast. “Either Duncan disagrees with his leader or he misled the people of Port McNeill,” said Leonard. “Once again we see him waffling on issues.”

Recently Coastal Community Credit Union staff and management – (from left) Di Kennedy, Heather Laidlaw, Stacey Marsh (Campbell River Hospital Foundation), Francois Egan, and Shauna Helson – paid a visit to speech pathologist Cathy Silversides and her innovative piece of equipment – the pentax flexible endoscopy unit with digital recording capabilities. Silversides has been with Campbell River Hospital since 2009 and is thrilled to have this new equipment to help her patients begin the road to recovery and to manage chronic conditions such as Parkinson’s, MS, stroke and anyone who suffers from throat and swallowing ailments. Before this equipment purchase, Silversides had to accompany patients to the imaging department to swallow barium to diagnose larynx and swallowing function. That was good, but this is better for patients who are too medically fragile to be transported and for those who cannot tolerate swallowing barium by providing a real time, quality view, of the inner working of the throat and how it is working, or not working. CCCU staff and management raised $600 over one month of Casual Fridays and came down to the rehabilitation unit to get a firsthand look at where their dollars went, how important the equipment is, and how it is appreciated by the staff and patients alike.

quarter of the Canyon View Trail in the next few years to address o l d e r b o a rdw a l k s, stair structures and improve drainage,” said Brent Blackmun, Nootka area supervisor for BC Parks. Many of the old wooden structures are beginning to rot and with such a wet climate, portions of the trail are subject to flooding and landslides. Visitors to the Canyon View had to navigate around a threefoot wide washout for nearly three months after a chunk of trail on the north side of the Campbell River, halfway between the John Hart Generating Station and the logging bridge, came down. In March, BC Parks unveiled a new 100metre section of trail, above where the landslide occurred, with improved trail surface and two sets of stairs on either side of a small boardwalk. The work came at a cost of $15,000. “There is a slight grade increase in order to skirt above the area affected by the landslide,” said Blackmun. Elsie Johnsen, who has walked the trail nearly every day for years, said she appreciates BC Parks’ quick work in fixing the trail. “They did a wonderful job,” said Johnsen. “It’s great, now you can go all the way around again.”
