It could also decide to restrict special education students in middle and high school from going on field trips in order to save $25,000 in staffing for special needs bussing. Another option is to reduce the amount of assistant staffing and district teacher staffing in special

education, primarily related to workshops in the gifted program for high achieving students. That would save the school district $84,000 and $45,000 respectively. Neale said in previous years, operational cuts were made to areas other than instruction

School District 72 may be forced to make cuts that could reduce the amount of teachers and support staff in schools in order to erase a $1.1 million deficit. Cutting back on elementary school teachers in music and library programs is one option the district is looking at which would save $75,000 for each program, according to a budget report. The district is in the red because of cost pressures which Peter Neale, school district secretary-treasurer, said are out of the school district’s control, such as a $335,000 rise in pension payments and soaring fuel and hydro costs. The district needs to come up with a substantial amount of savings in the special needs program because it is losing $300,000 in special needs funding from the province next year due to a decline in students in the program. To make up for the loss, the district is also looking at making $37,500 in teacher cuts in special education programs at elementary schools.

North Island MLA Claire Trevena will take on a key critic’s role in the NDP’s shadow cabinet. New party leader Adrian Dix appointed Trevena as critic of the Ministry of Children and Family Development on Tuesday. “It’s a real honour to have the appointment but it will be challenging too,” said Trevena. “The ministry has undergone massive changes with the present government and my role will be to make sure people are least impacted by them. “This ministry has seen a lot of failings and I will challenge them on that.” The ministry deals with the most vulnerable British Columbians and provides Continued on Page A3

Man accused in stabbing released on bail

Trevena: Familiar with portfolio

PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Continued from Page A1 programs and services to ensure children are healthy and living in a safe environment. But Trevena said the government has yet to develop a service plan for children in the province, something that is relevant to so many British Columbians. She said as MLA for the North Island, this is the ministry she has received the most calls about from constituents. “It’s one of the ministries I’m constantly getting calls about across the North Island,” said Trevena. “Generally, people struggle when dealing with the ministry.” Trevena is no

stranger to the portfolio. She was critic of child care, early childhood development and women’s issues under for mer NDP leader Carole James. She said she’s already familiar with the issues. Two months ago she called on the Minister of Children and Family Development, Mary McNeil, to take immediate action to address the lengthy wait list for North Island families seeking help for mental health issues. Trevena discovered a list of as many as 50 children waiting for assessment through Child and Youth Mental Health services in Campbell River. “It is disgraceful that

so many children and young people are on the wait list for help. Imagine if there were 50 children with what’s perceived as traditional health needs – if they were not being diagnosed with mumps or meningitis, there would be outrage,” said Trevena, who will be raising the matter during the spring session of the legislature which began Tuesday. Trevena, who held the position of assistant deputy speaker of the house since the 2009 election and previously

acted as opposition critic for Employment and Income Assistance, said although she is pleased with her new role, it came unexpectedly. “I didn’t know it was coming,” said Trevena. “The new leader talked about keeping people in the same positions, so it was a surprise. It’s a huge responsibility and as part of this team, I have to show the government is failing people here.” Trevena has served as MLA for the North Island since 2005.

A 23-year-old accused of stabbing another man a dozen times is out on bail. Bradley James Perkins was freed on $1,000 recognizance without having to post either cash or a surety. He’s charged with aggravated assault in the stabbing of Patrick Kennelly, 19, of Campbell River. Perkins is also facing a charge of improper storage of a firearm. According to RCMP, Kennelly was at a birthday party with friends at a campsite beside Echo Lake when he became involved in a confrontation in the early morning hours last Sunday. He was stabbed 12 times in the torso and was rushed to Campbell

River hospital by friends. Kennelly was later airlifted to Victoria General Hospital where he underwent surgery and is presently recovering. His Facebook site contains dozens of messages from friends wishing him a speedy recovery. During their investigation, Mounties obtained a search warrant for 4700 Argonaut Rd., where officers found a marijuana grow operation with 40 plants. Perkins was later arrested and charged. He’s now out on bail with conditions that he cannot contact Kennelly and several others. He was also ordered to abstain from alcohol and to not carry or possess any weapons. Perkins returns to court on May 16.

Schools: Cost saving measures considered Continued from Page A1 than staffing in the instruction function,” said Neale. “Feedback suggests that internal stakeholders recognize this and would like the board of education to consider strategies that maintain services to students and to make decisions that would have the least impact on students.” Most of the conversations he has had w i t h s t a ke h o l d e r s have focused on coming up with strategies for minor reductions rather than completely eliminating services. Cutting back on

school staff is also being considered by the district, including casual custodian staff – a savings of $78,000 – and operations and maintenance staff, a $70,000 reduction. The district is also floating the possibility of directing all staff to take vacation time in lieu of pay for overtime hours to minimize the payment of accrued time. A board meeting to hear submissions and presentations from the public regarding the budget takes place Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the school board office, 425 Pinecrest Rd.

FRIDAY, APRIL 29, 2011 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR |

Two last questions for candidates It’s down to the nitty gritty as we go into the last weekend of the election campaign. Voting day is Monday, be sure to cast your ballot. Sue Moen – Green Party: 1. What will you and your party do to boost Campbell River’s economic situation. The Green Party’s over-arching principle of creating a Smart Economy will guide my efforts to implement job creation measures through re-localizing econom i e s. Green MPs will work to lower p ay ro l l a n d small business taxes, increase agricultural opportunities, increase value-added processing and manufacturing, and increase investment in energy efficiency, and renewable energy systems and grids. I would push for the creation of Municipal super-funds to provide sustainable, long term funding to repair decades-old crumbling infrastructure and build for the future.

But first of all, consider what a: the candidates say they will do to boost the Campbell River economy and b: why they should get your vote...

Communities would be able to create more of the common amenities we all need for recreation, transportation, water works and arts and culture. One of the super-funds would be tied directly to increasing youth employment and another to creating local green-business incubators to encourage entrepreneurship. Greens will work to eliminate the subsidies and grants to industries such as fossil fuels, agribusiness and nuclear that distort the market and externalize costs. We want to tax those things people don’t want – overconsumption, GHG emissions, pollution – and lower taxes on what we do want – jobs, income and savings. Our plan is for a revenue neutral tax shift to ensure Canadians are not adversely affected by changing tax policies. 2. Why should voters gi v e you their vote on May 2? The Green Party Platform is about finding

common ground. The Green Party is about consensus building and win-win solutions. Electing a Green Party candidate as MP for the riding will mean having a representative who is willing and able to work with the other parties for the common good. Canada needs Green MPs like me, who will work to break down partisanship. We will not only work cooperatively amongst ourselves, we will restore respect and civility to Parliament and get OTHER MPs from other parties (many of whom hate rabid partisanship) to cooperate with us. I have work experience in many areas – corporate, education, as a small business owner, in non-profit and have been an activist for local and global social justice and the environment for more than 40 years. While I don’t agree with all constituents, I believe I can represent the riding to advance the common good and to

Continued from A5 impose the job-killing HST on BC. Now Stephen Harper is threatening to penalize British Columbians to the tune of $1.6 billion if they vote against the HST in June. Jack Layton has pledged that regardless of the outcome of the vote, B.C. will keep that money. With this pledge, small business owners can have confidence that British Columbians will have a free and fair vote on the HST, without threat of punishment. New Democrats will also invest in small businesses, as they are Campbell River’s economic backbone. We will cut small business taxes by two percent to spur job creation, and we will introduce a $4,500 tax credit for businesses that create new jobs. We will restrict raw log exports, invest in

developing alternative energy, and restore the home retrofit program to generate jobs and reduce home heating bills. 2. Why should voters give you their vote on May 2? People across the riding tell me they think that Ottawa is broken and it’s time to fix it. People say they are looking for a party and a leader they can trust to make life more affordable, generate jobs, improve health care, and strengthen pensions. That’s why I’m proud to be part of Jack Layton’s team. We have practical solutions that put you and your family ahead of corporate tax giveaways. On Vancouver Island, voting New Democrat is the best way to defeat the Conservatives and bring in a positive alternative.

Mike Holland – Liberal Party of Canada 1. What will you and your party do to boost Campbell River’s economic situation? Gover nment can’t claim to have the answers but it should be ready to be a partner to the community, because it’s the community that has the ideas and the initiat i v e s that will g r o w the local economy. We can help lay the foundations for economic growth, however, and it starts with education. By helping students pay for college, university or trades training, we’ll ensure businesses have access to skilled labour when they want to expand. By investing in early

learning and childcare, we’ll ensure parents can re-enter the workforce confident they have affordable and safe childcare for their children. And we’ll support research in new industries such as green energy, in which the North Island has the potential to be a world leader. 2. Why should voters give you their vote on May 2? For 37 years on the North Island we’ve elected MPs from the extreme left and the extreme right. Meanwhile, our local economies continue to decline faster than other regions, jobs continue to evaporate and young people are forced to leave in search of opportunity e l s ewh e re. R at h e r than again trying the same failed approach and expecting differ-

ent results, I think it’s time we tried a balanced, Liberal alternative. I have a history of working with people of all political stripes to do what’s right for our community. It’s time our communities had someone to fight with them, and I’m ready to step up and join them. John Duncan – Conservative Party of Canada 1.

After five weeks and ten allcandidate meetings I am confident in saying that none of my competitors comprehend the diversity or understand the economy of our communities. The NDP candidate claims that she will represent this riding, yet she has shown a lack of understanding for the forestry, aquaculture, fishing and mining sectors. For example, she thought Quinsam Coal was a proposed mine and not an operating one. She has also spoken out in favour of the long gun registry, even though people in this riding are largely

Candidates: Six choices for Vancouver Island North Continued from A8

The abysmal economic situation of Campbell River is not something that can be solved in Campbell River alone. Campbell river just happens to be one of the first few cars in the slow motion global economic train wreck we are all witnessing. Smaller communities always seem to take the brunt of the crash when things go bad economically. But the reason that happens is because the fundamental problem

with the economic system has not been addressed. I offer the solution given to the Reagan Administrat i o n in the ‘80’s, as laid out by t h e mathematician M i k e Montagne. Although rejected as a solution by the Republicans years ago, it has stood the test of time and has not been invalidated, and very recently has begun to be recog-

nized by many economists and politicians the world over, most recently in helping restructure Iceland’s economy. This system totally stops the big bankers in their tracks by abolishing usury (compound interest), and scheduling loan payments over the lifetime of the asset to close the door on inflationary and deflationary cycles. Since so much money is involved, you can be sure the big bankers don’t want you to hear about this. But that

alone should be impetus enough for you go to our website (independentpartycanada. ca) and check out what we are offering you. In short, we are offering a permanent solution out of the financial disaster that is looming, and I am the only one in this riding who for two elections now, are willing to discuss this issue. 2.

as myself enjoy the freedom from party politics and the party whip that you need in these unsure economic times. The ridiculous party phrases of “balance the budget”, “reducing the debt”, and “creating jobs” are losing their credibility in the minds of the voters as the truth of the economic hegemony spreads via the web. I offer the only mathematically proven way to discharge the current debt with the stroke of the pen, in the same way it was created, and replace it with the mathematically sustainable alternative. I and others are working toward implementation of MPE (Mathematical Perfected Economy) as soon as possible. Other parties like CAP and other inde pendent candidates are nailing the problem on the head, but only the Independent Party of Canada is offering the mathematical solution. The electorate, educated and awakened, should choose to take the ball and chain off their collective leg and put it on the leg of the bankers. To turn the tables on them and to return our economy, our livelihood, and our way of life back to us is our purpose, and that will not happen until the voters get fed up enough to start voting independent all over the country, starting with Vancouver Island North.

In today’s dental world, complex cases may involve referrals to other specialists in the ﬁeld. The general dentist acts as the restorative specialist and ‘quarterbacks’ the care for patients. General dentists are competent in all dental disciplines but sometimes the advice and treatment from specialists like orthodontists, periodontists, endodontists and oral surgeons will ensure the complete care of patients rather than a compromised outcome. Specialists have an additional two to four years of training in their respective ﬁelds. The accepted term is ‘interdisciplinary care’, and it is the current standard in dentistry. When it comes to our heath and major decisions, there can never be a shortage of input.

teaches painting. After working at the courthouse, Catherine pursued a career as a legal assistant and worked for Gerry Sinnott for 21 years. She moved to Vancouver for a brief period, returning to Campbell River last July. “I missed the wild, quiet beauty of Campbell River,” she said, and is looking forward to working in a service oriented position, and having time to write and paint in a “happy, peaceful atmosphere”. The Haig-Brown House has just that sort of atmosphere. Amid the forested property of almost twenty acres, and surrounded by gardens and lawns maintained in the style of Roderick and Ann HaigBrown, it is a popular venue for wedding ceremonies. The annual Haig-Brown Festival is also held there at the end of September, on World Rivers Day.

MacLeod has an interesting history with Campbell River and a unique connection to the HaigBrown family. In the mid 1970s, she worked at the old courthouse when Roderick HaigBrown was the lay judge. She remembers that “he was always friendly, cheerful – not in the least bit intimidating.” When she revealed to him that she too wished to write someday, he was very encouraging. He told her to just “pick up the pen and let the words flow”, and to write about what she loved. In those years, she was also fortunate enough to know Sybil Andrews, and took a drawing course with her. Now Catherine is a painter in acrylics. She has successfully sold her work and also

Our View

A different way to handle fish issues Let’s take a moment or two to step aside from the federal election to have a look at the fisheries scene here on the West Coast – from a political point of view. We say: Working On Monday, muck-slinging antisalmon farm campaigners took together sure aim at aquaculture companies in beats butting Campbell River. Earlier this year, angry recreheads ational fishermen condemned Fisheries and Oceans Canada for not providing them with their fair share of the halibut fishery. They’re still trying to make halibut allocation an

election issue – a fishy one at that. Some things never seem to change, but occasionally there’s a glimpse of sanity and that good old Canadian spirit of people from different walks of life working together to create change for the better. Last week’s release of 50,000 chinook salmon smolts on the Phillips River system is a perfect example. Wild runs of chinook on the Phillips, and just about every other river system on the coast, are in serious decline. Typically, such declines are met by a lot of fingerpointing, while a small band of volunteer stream-

keepers are left with the enormous task of trying to save what little fish are left. But the project on the Phillips shows how different groups are working together, in spite of their differences, to create a self-sustaining run of wild chinook. Led by the volunteers of the Gillard Pass Fisheries Association, the project is receiving the support of fishing lodges, private companies, fish farming companies, a privately-run hatchery and even Fisheries and Oceans Canada. That’s remarkable and it sets a fine example of how to deal with all fisheries issues.

Good point: Help Justin My name is Michelle Barteaux and I am writing on behalf of my brother, Justin Webb. My brother was like most 19 year olds. He was in his first year of university and loving life. That was until December when life decided to challenge him. As a great football player, Justin is known for his will and determination, but fighting for his life against brain cancer is a challenge that has left him utterly helpless. Justin’s problems began in December. He was having issues with his right foot and started losing the ability to control it while walking. Justin and his young girlfriend Katie went to the hospital in Prince George. After having a CAT scan, the doctor told him to go back home to the Island and that there was a high probability that he had either MS or ALS. When Justin called home with the grave news, upset and scared, we brought him home. He was home only a few days, waiting for his family doctor to get in touch with a neurologist when Justin began to lose the ability to move and control the right side of his body. Justin began rapidly deteriorating and soon needed help walking and dressing himself. We brought him to Victoria General Hospital where he was admitted into Emergency. Justin spent three days in the ER waiting for a bed, waiting for answers. He had numerous tests; an MRI, CAT Scan etc, which Continued on A19

Politics too predictable to be a good spectator sport

Alistair Taylor Out On A Limb

My excitement about elections diminishes as the years go by. Gone are the days in university, while studying communications and political science, when we’d settle in with some refreshments after the polls closed at 8 p.m., and watch the results roll in. It was like watching a hockey game. Not that we’d cheer necessarily but we’d yack about politics both near and far and straighten the world out for everybody, if only there had been somebody there to hear our sage advice. There was never a real surprise ending. Either the Liberals or the Conservatives (“Progressive” Conservatives back then) would form the government. The NDP would come in significantly third and the Green Party barely even existed then. It was

a true three-party state. Nowadays, I have to keep reminding myself there’s an election on. It’s the same old suspects but, at least this time there is a possibility for something different to happen, i.e., the NDP has surged past the Liberals in polls, if they’re anything to go by. An NDP opposition would be something different but I don’t know if it would change anything about the way Canadians are governed, especially if the Conservatives win. The NDP has always had an impact on Canadian politics because the Liberals would scoop up any of their polices they found useful and incorporate them into their platform. I find it interesting that the Liberals are unable to gain any traction with Michael Ignatieff as leader. It

really seems as though he’s a liability. Nobody seems to really believe he’s sincere. The Conservatives, meanwhile, have the control-freak Stephen Harper who has been accused of setting back the democratic traditions in this country. Then there’s the NDP’s Jack Layton who is inhabiting familiar ground in Canadian politics. Back in the 80s the NDP’s Ed Broadbent continually scored highest of all the three party leaders in approval ratings. But the NDP never got past third party status. Now Layton is scoring the higher approval ratings and his party is soaring in popularity polls. That however, doesn’t necessarily translate into seats in the House of Commons as our first-past-the-post

electoral system blocks popular vote from determining electoral seats. But if the NDP were to form the opposition or, less likely, form a minority government with the Liberals (as the junior partner – a switch from the past), that would be different but given our system’s focus on the party with the most seats, you won’t likely see any real change this election. And maybe that’s what Canadians want. Our predictability and stability serve us well economically but it doesn’t make for compelling television. So, on Monday, cast your vote and I will cast mine. I always do. But I won’t be hooked on the T.V. scrutinizing every result as it comes in because it will just be more of the same old, same old.

Morton messes up salmon protest Ten people smearing mud on a window? Is this all the support Alexandra Morton can find now? We think Canadians are smart enough to see through such a silly stunt, and the small number of characters following Ms. Morton

on her mudslinging adventure in Campbell River Teusday proves it. Ms. Morton smeared mud on the window of our offices this morning, and splattered mud on the public sidewalk in an attempt to make some kind of state-

ment against salmon farming. All she did, however, was make a mess. But it wasn’t all bad – we transferred the mud to the nearby flowerbed which will help the flowers grow bright and beautiful in May. She and her entou-

rage pulled the same stunt at the Marine Harvest offices, and moved on to the campaign offices of Vancouver Island North federal candidates.

It’s obvious that Ms. Morton has little or no support for her actions; she was accompanied by only 10 people, including two of her Continued on A20

Continued from A18 all indicated he had an inflammation on the right side of his brain. The diagnosis was that he had MS. He was released to go home, and was given an appointment to meet with someone at the MS clinic. Within a week Justin had lost all movement on his right side and was beginning to lose functionality of his left side as well. We decided to take him over to Vancouver General Hospital. Justin is 6’4”; my father and mother are 65 and 55 years old respectively and have been responsible for all of Justin’s care and needs. At Vancouver Gengeral more CAT scans were administered as well as an additional MRI, again it was determined that there was inflammation but

still no cause could be established. Within days, a brain biopsy was scheduled. They were going to extract fluid from Justin’s brain from a small incision in his scull; he came out of surgery with 10 staples, leaving my parents shocked. The doctors found a massive tumour covering both sides of his brain. The tumour is one that is extremely rare and is found in children, not in adults. Now four months after his symptoms began, Justin is completely unable to move. He cannot speak or eat. He is mentally aware and can smile, laugh, and obviously cry. Justin is an adult and has not paid into pensions. He is unable to get monies other than from welfare. We are all shocked at the

financial toll that caring for an ill family member has taken; it’s devastating and overwhelming at times. My father, Art, has been driving to Campbell River and back daily in an attempt to continue working in hopes of relieving some of the financial strain. Diane has taken a leave of absence from her job to be here with Justin. There is an account set up at the TD Bank of Canada in Justin Webb or Diane Zaschke (Account # 90386356852) name as well as donation boxes around the Island. There’s also a fundraiser for him on Saturday, April 30, 4-7 p.m. at Timberline Secondary School. Our family appreciates your compassion and generosity. God Bless, Michelle Barteaux

Support move to closed containment

Education can lead you anywhereâ&#x20AC;Ś

Instead we must look at the weight of evidence to support one argument versus the other. In the example of air pollution we do not have specific evidence that pollutants released by one individual factory lead to breathing problems. However it has been accepted that the cumulative worsening of air quality is harmful to human health. Therefore we protect ourselves and limit emissions. Sea lice incubated by farms are not the only cause for depletion of wild salmon stocks, but they are a significant factor.

It is likely that wild fish will be long gone before we find undeniable evidence of the link between open-net fish farms and the disappearance of wild salmon. We need to act in good faith with the weight of evidence we have available to us now. We are appealing to the press to bring this serious issue in to the election debate and ask each candidate to support moving fish farms to closed containment, away from our wild salmon.

duce year-round; that locally grown food was important; and that food grown in an environmentally sustainable way was important. Salmon farming meets all of those needs. Perhaps the nonexistent support for Ms. Mortonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest campaign shows that people are inves-

louse. However, what independent scientists do see is that when wild juvenile salmon leave their spawning grounds they have no parasites, and when they approach the farms they are inundated with sea lice. Later many of these fish die. The argument surrounding sea lice is like so many difficult environmental debates we are now facing. Because the ecosystems we live in are so large and so complex, it is often virtually impossible to find direct scientific correlations between cause and effect.

T h e d e b a t e s u rrounding the impact of farmed salmon on wild salmon populations often focuses on the issue of sea lice. Wild salmon supporters correlate the decline of wild fish to the sea lice harboured on fish farms, a theory refuted by the farms due to the lack of directly supporting scientific evidence. It is true that there is no unequivocal evidence to show a salmon farm sea louse leaving a farm, attaching to a wild salmon juvenile and then seeing that fish die as a direct result of weakness and infection caused by the

Turning up the volume at the Tidemark KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Martin Jurek was having a hard time hearing all the actors during a performance of No Sex Please, We’re British at the Tidemark Theatre. He figured if someone with good hearing had difficulty making out some of the words, it must be even harder for those who are hard of

hearing. So Jurek, who co-owns the Campbell River Hearing Clinic with wife Jana, decided to donate a hearing assistance system to the theatre. “I noticed it (was hard to hear) the first time I was here for a play,” said Jurek. “So I figured others, especially those with hearing loss, would have a hard time too.” The system uses a

transmitter which is plugged into the microphones onstage. When the mic picks up the sound, it is transmitted wirelessly to an FM receiver and listened to through a headset. The receivers are tiny boxes which are easy to hold and have volume controls so the users can adjust the sound themselves. The system can also

be used with hearing aids. Hearing aids with t-coils can use a t-coil loop instead of a headset and those with hearing instruments that have wireless options

can connect directly to the FM receivers at the Tidemark. Jurek said he hopes the system will help a number of his clients who stay away from live

shows because of hearing difficulties. To start, there will be eight receivers with headsets available at the box office on a first come, first served basis.

To have hearing aids set up with the Tidemark’s hearing assistance system call the

Hearing Clinic at 250914-3200 or drop by, 780-D 13th Avenue.

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.

Campbell River Living Leading children to a deeper understanding

Electronics wizard Tyler Stewart of Timberline Secondary won a bronze medal for Electronics at the Skills Canada Provincial Competition in Abbotsford on April 20. The competition required Stewart to show his knowledge and skills in electronics through several hands-on tasks and accompanying theory questions. The major categories were bread boarding (prototyping) an electronic circuit, reverse engineering a project layout back to a schematic diagram using correct symbols, and building a complete project from a kit to showcase assembly and soldering skills. Stewart qualified for the provincial level competition at a regional competition held April 1 at the Timberline/NIC campus. This was Stewart’s first time competing and was also Timberline’s first time having a student reach the provincial level in electronics. The picture shows Stewart wearing his medal in his usual work area in the Timberline electronics lab. He is holding the breadboarded project and the soldered project from the competition.

id you know that Campbell River has a Montessori school which offers programs for children beginning at age three? There is. Campbell River Montessori School is located in Room 31 at Discovery Passage Elementary School at 2050 Pengelley Road. The community is invited to drop in and see the school on Saturday, May 7, 2011 from 2-4 p.m. Campbell River Montessori School opened for classes last September.

Campbell River Montessori School is ready to accept registrations for September 2011 of children born in 2008. Spaces are limited, and interested parents are encouraged to observe a class prior to registering. Montessori education is one of the fastest growing education systems in the world. It is based upon the research of Dr. Maria Montessori (18701952), noted educator and humanitarian, who revolutionized our understanding of childhood development over the last 100 years. Her methodology is centered on providing children with skills for critical thinking, independence, and peacefulness. Each Montessori classroom leads children toward a deeper

understanding of the world around them – through language, science, cultural arts, mathematics, sensorial, and practical life skills. “It is never too early to begin thinking about your child’s education. We offer young children the academic and social learning they yearn for, in an environment which is prepared especially for them. Through inspiring their curiosity, we help children develop a love of learning that will last a lifetime,” said Diana Chalmers, the school’s principal.

Thank you … to all our friends and donors!

very year, hundreds of North Island College students come closer to achieving their dreams thanks to

the generosity of our community donors. Your kindness allows students to trust in their dream of a challenging and exciting career; balance their studies with active participation in their children’s lives; and work towards a brighter future for themselves and their families. The North Island College Foundation Board of Directors extends a heartfelt thanks to you – our donors. Your continued support is an investment in hope, in possibility, and in a healthy, vibrant future for our communities. Thanks to you, last year we were able to assist 283 students, awarding in excess of $185,000. We look forward to continuing our relationships and working together to support our students in achieving their goals.

Are Speed Reader Displays Effective? 2X14TYEE CHEV Dynamic speed display signs are popping up beside B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Highways. They display the speed of passing vehicles above a sign showing the posted speed limit. Are these signs useful in persuading drivers to keep to the limit and if so, how effective are they? According to a Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure Highway Safety Engineer â&#x20AC;&#x153;These displays have shown effectiveness at reducing overall vehicle speeds shortly following installation. However, the effectiveness of speed reader boards is limited and decreases shortly after drivers pass the board. Longer term effectiveness has not yet been determined.â&#x20AC;? Some studies have shown continuing effectiveness, while others show that success varies. In any case, combining the signs with law enforcement produce the best result. An example is the sign on the Trans Canada Highway south of Nanaimo that precedes an intersection in an 80 km/h zone with a recurring collision problem. Prior to the installation of a speed reader board the 85th% speed was 96 km/h. Six months after installation, a before/after speed data comparison was carried out and indicated an 85th% speed of 90 km/h. In addition, the data showed that 53% of drivers were travelling less than the posted speed limit. Hopefully these signs will prove to be a worthwhile investment on their own and coupled with regular speed enforcement contribute to a reduction in collisions. 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

City’s chicken about poultry Continued from B6 areas have adopted poultry bylaws and the latest to take the leap is Saanich Municipality. They join Vancouver, Surrey, Victoria and New Westminster, and many smaller towns around B.C. in welcoming hens into residential areas. Generally the bylaws limit the number of cluckers to four and the backyard enclosure must be roofed and cannot exceed eight or nine square meters in area. Other than the production of warm, fresh eggs every morning the other great benefits of chickens are the deposits of manure rich in nutrients and the efficient way those cluckers hoover up all the garden pests without your needing to use pesticides. In terms of a poultry bylaw Campbell River is so far behind the movement in food self sufficiency… l would suggest that our city is a “little chicken” when it comes to change.

FIGHT WOUNDS IN CATS Summer’s coming, and our cats love to be outside just like we do. However, when they meet other cats, the encounters may not be all that friendly. Cats are instinctively very territorial. They fight with other cats to protect their territory or to acquire more territory. As a result, fight wounds are common in cats. In cats, over 90% of infected wounds result from cat bites sustained during a fight with another cat. Dog, rat and other rodent bites can occur but they are much less common. Fight wounds frequently result in infection that can make cats quite ill, especially if left untreated. Fight wounds are more common in male cats than females and are most frequent in intact (un-neutered) males. Un-neutered male cats are very territorial; they will defend an area around their home but continually try to expand the borders of their territory. The desire for more territory and the need to keep intruders out of their existing territory means that they are constantly fighting with other cats. In contrast, neutered male cats defend a smaller area of territory around their home. If another cat invades this territory, he will defend it by fighting. The frequency of fighting will depend on the number of cats in the neighbourhood and particularly the presence of unneutered male cats. Female cats

will also defend their territory by fighting with other cats. Neutering may reduce territorial fighting, but will not completely stop it. Confining the cat to your house, particularly at night when cat fights are most common, will reduce the number of bites your cat sustains. When a cat bites, its sharp canine teeth easily puncture the skin, leaving small, but deep, wounds in the skin. These punctures rapidly seal over, trapping bacteria from the cat's mouth under the skin of the victim, where they can readily multiply. The infection may go unnoticed for several days, until swelling and pain at the puncture site develop. At this point, the cat will often develop a fever. If the skin surrounding the wound is loose, a pocket of pus will develop, forming an abscess. In areas where the skin is not loose such as the lower leg or the tail, the infection spreads through the tissues and causes cellulitis. In rare cases, a cat bite will result in septic arthritis (infection of a joint space), osteomyelitis (infection of bone) or pyothorax (the chest cavity fills with pus). If you know that your cat has been in a fight, notify your veterinarian immediately. Antibiotics given within twentyfour hours will often stop the spread of infection and may prevent the development of an abscess. If

several days have elapsed since the fight, an abscess will usually form, requiring more involved medical treatment. Puncture wounds heal very quickly so there is often nothing to see or feel, especially in the first few days after the bite. It may be possible to feel heat and swelling in the area of the bite. The most common sites of bites are on the head, forelimbs or at the base of the tail. If the leg was bitten, it is usually painful and the cat may limp. Some cats may just be lethargic and have a fever. Many cats will excessively groom the injured area. If an abscess is present, your veterinarian will drain and flush the injured site. This may be done by removing the scabs over the original bite wounds or, more commonly, by lancing the skin over the abscess. It may be necessary to sedate or anesthetize your cat for this. If cellulitis is present, drainage is not possible. Antibiotics will be given to treat the bacterial infection. With large abscesses, your veterinarian may recommend a technique called debridement, or removal of all the affected tissues, including any inflamed tissues that have walled off the abscess from the rest of the body. The resulting "clean" wound will be closed with sutures. In some situations, your veterinarian may also place a surgical drain in the wound, to allow any discharges to escape. With appropriate treatment, most abscesses should heal within five to seven days. The swelling associated with cellulitis may take longer. If you feel the wound is not healing normally you should ask your veterinarian to examine it. If you do not have your cat treated, there is a danger that the abscess will burst and only partially drain before healing begins. This can leave small pockets of pus behind, which will cause recurrence. Similar consequences may follow if courses of antibiotics are not completed or adequate drainage is not maintained. Certain viruses such as feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and feline leukemia virus (FeLV) suppress the immune system and may complicate the cat's recovery from infection. Blood tests can be performed to diagnose these viral infections. A persistent draining wound may indicate that a foreign body such as a broken tooth, a claw or some soil is present in the wound and may require surgical exploration. Alternatively, it may indicate the presence of an unusual infectious agent requiring biopsies for culture and other tests.

Gold in the big city

The WCEHA Storm celebrate victory (back row): Conrad Browne, Greg Fox, and Chris McCartney; (middle row): Micheal Behan, Benton Browne, Davis Frank, Brendan Almer, and Dakota Sinclair; (front row): Caleb Parkhouse, Coulsen McCartney, Cameron Stevenson, River Fahey, Jackson Dyke, Logan Nijhoff, Evan Fox, Noah Fladager, Gabe Schovanek, Logan Chapdelaine, and Justin Sexton.

The Mainland Hockey tournament held in Vancouver, April 15-17, proved to be just what the WCEHA 2001 Storm needed to start their season. The Elite are an Atom spring hockey team based out of the North Island, comprised of boys from Powell River, Port McNeill, Gold River, Courtenay and Campbell River. The team played five games over the weekend and ended the tournament with a 5-0 record. The first game played, was against the PHD Prospects, and ended in a 7-3 win for the Storm. Next up were the South Fraser Elite, and what turned out to be, three periods of nail biting action.

The Storm managed to come out on top again with a 4-3 win. The Storm dominated their next game against the Jr. Flames with a 8-1 victory, and headed into the semi-finals strong and determined. T he BC Kodiaks fought hard to win, but in the end, the Storm proved themselves again, by winning 4-2. The championship game was played on Sunday and the Storm were once again, battling against the South Fraser Elite. The Fraser Elite were up 2-1 with two minutes left in the third period when a beautiful goal by Caleb Parkhouse tied the game at 2-2. River Fahey scored the game winning goal

with 22seconds left on the clock, making the 2001 WCEHA Storm the gold medal champions. Both teams showed tremendous heart and determination, but none more so than Storm goalie Cameron Stevenson who played the entire weekend while sick with the flu. Stevenson was rewarded as the final game MVP. Other game MVP’s awards were given to Noah Fladager, Logan Nijhoff, Jackson Dyke, and River Fahey. The team is now preparing for their next conquest, The Challenge cup, in May. The Team paid tribute to their sponsor Ken Kennedy and K&D Contracting.

Local riders turned in some fine results. It was a great weekend for Campbell River’s Ryder Roth, who rode in the 50 cc 4-6 years class. Roth was up against some really serious riders from the Lower Mainland but Roth had a plan

of his own, to take the victory in his home town. Roth did just that and finished with first place over all on both days of racing. Charles Charlton of the Lower Mainland was second while Cole Wasmuth finished third overall. In the ladies class, some great riding was on display. Camille Baker of Nanaimo was on hand and rode in not only the ladies class but she rode in two mixed classes. Baker rode really well in the ladies class and took home first over all for both days. In the MX2 Intermediate class she finished 14th overall and took the 11th spot in the youth division. Campbell River was well represented in the ladies class, with Lindsey McLean and Chelsea Masters both

We wait until the day we meet again but bask in the knowledge that she is at peace and without pain. Our hearts ache for you, our souls ﬂy with you, but we leave you to rest, knowing a part of you lives on in us. We will always have our memories.
