Get ready for one more closure along the Old Island Highway. The city announced Wednesday that final paving on the upgraded portion of the highway between Hilchey and Rockland roads will begin in May. It’s estimated that the closure will go into effect for five days in mid to late May, from 7 a.m. - 5 p.m. daily. Exact dates and times will be confirmed by the end of April. During the closure, southbound traffic will be re-routed to Rockland, Galerno and Hilchey and northbound traffic can get around the construction site by taking Hilchey, Galerno and Rockland. Crossing guards will be on hand to assist pedestrians crossing at the Hilchey and Galerno intersection during heavy detour traffic periods. The paving marks the final phase of the $13.1 million upgrade project which began more than a year ago. Since then, new water and sanitary mains have been installed underneath the highway, and new street lights and sidewalks have been put in. The Seawalk between Hilchey and Rockland has been re-paved and a brand-new sewage lift station was built. The Simms Creek Pump Station features wireless communication, emergency back-up and sewage lift pumps with the capacity to handle all present and future
sewage flow. The final paving was originally targeted to be done by March 31 but a funding deadline extension from the federal government allowed that date to be pushed back. Although construction did run on schedule throughout, waiting until May to do the final paving ensured a better quality product. “Our consultants have told us that if we can, it’s in our best interest to delay the paving of the last lift of asphalt,” Jason Hartley, city capital works manager, said when the funding extension was announced. “If we want it to be the best it can be, last the longest it can and minimize the burden of maintaining it, we’re being told we should wait for favourable weather.” For more information on the Highway 19A project visit campbellriver.ca

Economic positions are all over the map of the world is increasing, Holland asked. Meanwhile, Canada needs to invest in green jobs like the United States is doing, he said. Even established industries, like coal production and fish farming can be expanded, as long as they are done with the appropriate environmental protection i n cl u d e d , H o l l a n d said. “But it has to be based on science,” he said.
ALISTAIR TAYLOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The candidates agree that the economic situation is one of the biggest issues facing Vancouver Island North but, of course, they don’t agree on the solutions. Or even how to describe the problem. GREENS Sue Moen of the Green Party believes the solution lies in taking the economy out of the hands of large corporations and encouraging small-scale entrepreneurship. “I believe in re-localizing the economy to keep sustainable green jobs and keep the money home,” Moen said. “We don’t need a lot of huge industry. “Bring the economy back to the smaller scale so that there are more people employed.” The Green Party is focusing on small-scale economic enterprises that are more sustainable and efficient in the long run. Moen said there are jobs to be created in energy conservation. “In energy efficiency there are jobs to create those efficiencies and in conserving that energy,” she said. “Once we’re there, we switch over (to alternative technologies) to replace the old fuels.” Examples of alternative energy production include the tidal energy that the City of Campbell River is studying. “I am very curious and I am watching
what they are doing with the tidal energy up there in Campbell River,” Moen said. There are also opportunities in geothermal energy and solar and wind power generation. Moen agreed that it might surprise people that the Green Party has an economic policy focused on job creation. “They may find it unusual but we’ve always thought that way,” she said. “(It’s) focused within the limits of our environment. That’s where we differ (from the other parties) significantly.” LIBERALS Liberal candidate Mike Holland said economic recovery begins with a balanced federal budget. The Conservatives have not been good fiscal managers despite their reputation as such. He said the federal Conservatives have been cutting taxes for corporations and increasing spending.
There’s also 30,000 more people working for the federal government now than when Prime Minister Stephen Harper came to power. “Canadians have watched the Conservatives run the economy into the ground,” Holland said. They turned a decade of surpluses into deficits. “People forget what a great (economic) inheritance that Stephen Harper got,” Holland said. “The debt was paid down...the economy was thriving.” The economy overlaps with a lot of things, Holland said, but jobs are the focus and in the North Island, jobs are hard to find. “It’s kind of tough right up to Port Hardy and Campbell River,” he said. “You can walk downtown in Campbell River and (see) all the boarded up (businesses).” But despite that, he said Campbell River is “doing great, considering that the pulp mill closed.” The Conservatives
did nothing to help Campbell River’s situation, Holland said. “When the mill in Campbell River went down, Stephen Harper said it was a great buying opportunity,” he said. But most workers at the mill “just wanted to pay their mortgages,” not invest in a pulp mill. Even with the resource industries rebounding, he said, you’re still not going to see the amount of jobs that there used to be in the past. “With the change in technology in the forests and in mining, it’s not realistic to expect them to employ more people than when they did in the past,” Holland said. Job creation opportunities lie in food production and in improving the energy grid with solar and wind power. Increase food production and increase revenues for farmers, Holland said. “Why haven’t ranchers’ and f ar mers’ incomes shot up” even though the population

NEW DEMOCRATS NDP candidate Ronna-Rae Leonard said Vancouver Island North’s biggest economic issue is the same one facing all Canadians – affordability. “There’s a lot of
communities that are struggling and a lot of people who are struggling,” she said. North Island communities have seen mill closures and jobs disappear and many have had to leave the region to find employment. That compounds the problem of the high cost of health care, the lack of seniors care beds, expensive drug costs, high cost of home heating fuel and, on top of that, the HST. The defeated Conservative budget did nothing to alleviate any of those costs. “That’s exactly what people are looking for – affordability,” Leonard said. Seniors, in particular, are finding the cost of living difficult, she Continued on A5

Election: Candidates muse on the economy Continued from A10 said. “The government’s budget was going to be providing more for seniors but it was really a slap in the face of the people who built this country,” Leonard said. The NDP will introduce measures like a pharmacare program and raise the Canada Pension Plan “so that people can afford to be retired,” she said.
CONSERVATIVES For incumbent Conservative MP John Duncan, the economy is always the biggest issue. “It’s always the economy,” he said. “People are looking around the globe and looking in their own backyard and everybody’s concerned about the fragility of the economy.” Canada is doing
“extremely well,” he said but our neighbour to the south is experiencing much grief so our good results can’t be taken for granted. Duncan is anticipating a rebound in the forestry sector but in the North Island in particular, there’s been a lot of restructuring over the last couple of years, having a huge impact on the riding. “The Catalyst Mill and the Elk Falls sawmill were huge losses,” he said. “Many of these people are working but many of those people aren’t working in the riding. We have to recognize that and we have to have more investment in Vancouver Island North.” The best route to acquiring that investment, Duncan said, is to having a majority Conservative federal government and free enter prise-oriented
bell River, the federal Conservatives have support intiatives to develop infrastructure in Campbell River like the highway and the airport as well as the cruise ship terminal. “We put a lot of money into the quality of life in the Campbell River area,” Duncan said. That has spin offs into a growing trend towards people working from their Campbell River homes for companies headquartered elsewhere. “They have chosen to live in Campbell River because it’s a good place,” he said.
provincial gover nment. Give the Conservatives the majority they seek and efforts to support Canadian forestry producers will continue. Joint federal/ provincial efforts that secured increasing access to China for forest products will grow. That has kept 10 mills in B.C. going, Duncan said. In the riding, the federal government put money into the Neucel mill in Port Alice to match the black liquor subsidy the AMerican government is giving their forest products. Meanwhile, in Camp-

Band moves to new tax model to support PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The Campbell River Indian Band is streamlining its taxation rules to help spur more development and home building. “There’s no new taxes,” promised Band councillor Jason Price. “The changes will make it more appealing for development. That’s the main goal.” Currently, band members who own homes on reserve lands, as well as businesses which lease property, pay property taxes under an Indian Act bylaw. But the bylaw doesn’t provide enough accountability, said Price, and that’s why the band is moving towards the First Nations Fiscal and Statistical Management Act. “ B y l aw s c a n b e changed by different councils, but under the new model, everything
is accountable,” said Price. It will also give the band better leverage to obtain financing for large-scale infrastructure, such as business development and residential subdivisions. And band members want to build new homes on the reserve land. There are about 100 members on waiting list to build, but there are just four residential lots left. “A lot more want to come back (to the reserve) but there’s no where to come back to,” said Price. The band planned to build homes on the 35 acres it owns by the river, behind Home Depot. However, the land is unsuitable for residential development, said Price, due to high levels of naturally-occurring copper in the soil. Last month, the band bought 200 acres near
Quinsam Crossing, beside the Cape Mudge Indian Band reserve. The Campbell River Band is now in the process of trying to get that property out of the Agricultural Land Reserve and reclassified as First Nations reserve land. Also, on June 3-4, members of the Campbell River Band will vote on a new land management act giving council more more power to enact and enforce bylaws.

Campbell River was recently named one of the top 10 worst places to live in Canada by MoneySense magazine – but Mayor Charlie Cornfield isn’t buying it. “Tell people when they’re sitting in Tyee boats down at the spit (Dick Murphy Park) and the people that go down there to watch them, that this is a crappy place,” said Cornfield. “People choose to live in places that suit them for a variety of reasons. “We who choose to live here – there’s a reason.” But our spectacular ocean views and long lists of recreational opportunities obviously did not impress the writers at MoneySense financial magazine, who studied 180 communities across the country with populations of over 10,000.

Drive Smart BC Eco Driving Can Aso 2X14 Be Safe Driving I almost always check the price of gasoline when I pull onto the highway headed for work each day. An increase in the numbersTYEE usuallyCHEV brings a groan and starts me thinking about how to use less. The way I drive my little truck can have a significant influence on how much fuel it uses. Everyone knows that the faster you go, the more fuel your vehicle uses. In general, the sweet spot seems to end at 90 km/h and climbs rapidly from there. So, cruising at 90 if the limit allows will make more efficient use of that fuel if you keep your speed steady at that rate. To further increase efficiency, accelerate and decelerate smoothly and conservatively. To do this, you will have to watch the traffic around you and anticipate the traffic lights if there are any. Maintaining an adequate following distance will allow you to adjust as necessary without heavy braking. Finally, keep your tires properly inflated and in good condition. Low inflation pressure by only 5 to 7 psi can cost you 10% in fuel consumption. Hmm, doesn’t this sound like a defensive driving lesson if you leave out the bit about fuel? Imagine, saving money and driving more safely. Sounds good to me! The author is a retired constable with many years of traffic enforcement experience.

Ranking: We’re not going to dry up – mayor
Continued from A7 Campbell River was ranked 175 out of 180 cities, with affordable housing singled out as the city’s biggest challenge. MoneySense said the community is trying to rebuild itself as a home for retirees “but high unemployment and low average
household income are stubborn obstacles to prosperity.” According to the mag azine, average real estate prices are higher than average at $336,000. Cornfield said if you’re looking to buy a home, it’s still cheaper to buy in Campbell River than in cities like Vancouver,
industries the community may have not otherwise looked at. “The community isn’t going to dry up and go away,” said Cornfield, who noted all of the city’s recent accomplishments including winning a national award for the green roof on City Hall; being named Solar Commu-
Toronto and Ottawa. He also noted the number of real estate sales in Campbell River did not drop as much as in neighbouring communities last year. As for having an economy in transition due to the loss of Catalyst mill, Cornfield said it makes you realize the potential for other
nity of the Year; and being awarded the first tidal energy project in the province. “I’ve lived and worked over a lot of places in the province and I’ll match Campbell River with anyone,” said Cornfield. “But I guess I can breathe a sigh of relief that not everyone
wants to live here or we wouldn’t have the room.” MoneySense ranked the city’s weather as 128th; crime as 148th; and access to health care as 113th. Population growth was the area where Campbell River had the highest ranking at 69th.

City tops list of solar power users in the T’sou-ke First Nation community in Sooke. “Being named a solar community of the year is a great honour for Campbell River,� said Mayor Charlie Cor nfield. “Our goal is to be an inspiration for other B.C. communities and to demonstrate that solar power is a viable renewable energy source – even in our coastal, often rainy, climate.� Because the energy comes from the sun’s light, not its heat, it’s possible to use the solar panels even on a cloudy day. Amber Zirnheldt, the city’s sustainability manager, said to promote solar power generation to homeowners, displays will be put up at the city facilities already using solar panels to illustrate how the system works. During Solar Days (likely
to be held in May) people can tour one of the city facilities to check out the solar panel. Zirnheldt said the city’s aim in becoming a solar community is to reduce greenhouse emissions for its part in the Climate Action Charter, a provincial initiative by which nearly 200 municipal gover nments, including Campbell River, are committed to becoming carbon neutral by 2012. It also falls in line with the city’s green strategy to reduce greenhouse emissions. “We want to look at green power options in order to reduce our carbon footprint,� said Zirnheldt. “Solar power is an alternative to using gas for heating and is a great way to reduce emissions.� The city also uses solar-powered crosswalks at 12 different
locations across the city, including on Dogwood and Alder streets as well as on Highway 19A. Two radar recorders, used to track traffic volume on Dogwood, are also solar-powered. Zirnheldt said solar panels are also being considered for the Community Centre, Centennial Pool and possibly City Hall.

In just its first year as a solar community, Campbell River has been recognized as one of the province’s greatest users of solar power. The city was named the 2010 Solar Power Community of the Ye a r, a n h o n o u r Campbell River will share with Fort Saint John and North Vancouver. “It was a really good piece of recognition for the city and it says a lot about what we’re doing to reduce our carbon footprint,� said Peter Woods, chair of the Environmental Advisory Committee, which made the recommendation to council to become a solar community last year. In March 2010, Campbell River became one of 32 solar communities across B.C. and
was awarded $50,000 in grants from both the provincial and federal governments to assist with solar panel installations. Since then, solar panels have gone up on the Fire Hall downtown, RCMP station, the Sportsplex and the new lift station on Highway 19A. All those buildings are using solar energy to heat their water supplies. The city also partnered with school district 72 to help fundraise for the installation of a solar hot water system at Timberline Secondary School. The city was named Solar Power Community of the Year in recognition of its leadership in using solar technology in those five municipal buildings. The award was presented to the city last Wednesday at a ceremony held

Our View
Grumble about elections – then vote As the acrimonious machinations of federal Parliament spun inevitably into Canada’s third national election campaign in five years, most voters just shrugged their shoulders. Wearied by years of recession and We say: It’s easy recovery, higher fuel prices, a yo-yoing dollar, escalating international conto get cynical flicts and maybe even Charlie Sheen’s about our ranting, they just want the politicians to do their jobs. democracy The politicians are quick to blame each other for the $300 million expense of another election that is as likely as not to end up with the very same or similar result as the previous two minority
Conservative governments. In British Columbia, voters face the daunting prospect of as many as three trips to the polls this year— the federal election, municipal elections in November and a possible provincial election if new premier Christy Clark makes good on her pledge to seek an early mandate. We’ll even have a mail-in referendum on the HST in June. The people of Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Tunisia, Bahrain and any number of dictatorial states feeling the stirrings of democracy should have such problems. As we whine about campaign signs being erected on public boulevards, or vitriolic attack ads cluttering our TV viewing, Egyptians are still trying to figure out
what their successful ouster of their president means to their country and Libyans trying to free themselves from the murderous 42-year reign of Muammar Gaddafi are dodging bullets. For most voters election campaigns are a series of contrived photo opportunities and divisive rhetoric, a test of endurance rather than a celebration of democracy. It’s easy to get cynical about our parliamentary system when it’s all we know. Every time we get the chance to vote, we are given the opportunity to enact change. No international sanctions or no-fly zones required. It’s worth thinking about that when we ponder whether to tune out this federal election. — Black Press
Good point: Tourism This is in reply to our Mayor Charlie Cornfield on the front page of the March 30 edition of the Campbell River Mirror. Once again we see him beating that dead horse in regards to Campbell River being the Salmon Capital of the World. I know many of us have experienced the great fishing of Port Alberni, Port Hardy, Haida Gwaii, Prince Rupert and locations of Alaska where they deserve that title of being the Salmon Capital of the World. I know he is trying to increase visitation to our city, and I commend him for his efforts, but he must do as many Campbell River businesses have done and diversify. Case in point being the tour boat industry of our city. Many boats conduct water taxi service, grizzly bear tours, whale watching excursions, fish farm tours and some also conduct sport fishing charters. This type of diversity generates business from a broad range of clients, thus increasing your business. If a 12-passenger boat solely relied on one product, such as whale watching and tried to sustain their operations in this competitive field, they would more than likely fail. Campbell River tends to be a washroom stop on two Island highways between destination centers such as Telegraph Cove, Port Hardy, Tofino, Nanaimo, and Victoria. Many of the businesses in our city rely upon people coming to spend some time utilizing the Continued on A11
MP embarks on campaign number...can you guess?
Alistair Taylor Out On A Limb
Political double speak, eh? You ask a politician for a straightforward answer and they’ll try desperately to weave their party platform into their response. Weave? Some aren’t even that subtle. They veer off into a nebulous debate about an entirely different topic. All I wanted to know was what was the biggest issue facing Vancouver Island North? Sometimes I got a direct answer but in all cases it was considered an invitation to talk about what they wanted to talk about. Sure it was about the economy but somehow the economy was connected to...you name it: tidal power, pharmacare, ranching. Meanwhile, John Duncan hit me with a skill-testing question: how many election campaigns was this
for him? These days I’m in a “just last week...or was it two years ago” frame of mind when it comes to remembering things. I said four. It’s been seven election campaigns for the long-serving MP: '93, '97, '01, '04, '6, '08 and now 2011. It began with the Reform Party’s explosion onto the scene and then morphed in the Reform-Progressive Conservative merger. Editor’s note: the inclusion of this walk down memory lane can in no way be construed as an endorsement or a lack of endorsement of the aforementioned politician. Or politicians in general. Or specifically. Nor should this editor’s note be seen as a condemnation or support for editor’s notes as a concept or journalistic practice. Practising journalism is an inher-
ently dangerous sport and this paper in no way encourages or discourages any young person from indulging in journalistic tendencies. Seek proper professional help. If you plan to practice journalism, you need proper professional help. And now for something completely different... How about them Whitecaps, eh? Been keen to see the re-emergence of “top-flight” soccer in Vancouver. I was a big fan of the NASL Whitecaps and have kept an eye on the team as it went through various lower level leagues to emerge into Major League Soccer. I attended the Soccer Bowl when Vancouver hosted in 1983 (the last one). The Whitecaps had been eliminated and weren’t in the game between the Toronto Blizzard and
Tulsa Roughnecks. My favourite moment was when the bored B.C. Place fans began the “White! Caps!” chant that alternated from either side of the stadium, which I see the current crop of Whitecaps fans have revived in the temporary Empire Field. The ‘Caps have put on a good show so far, although Wednesday’s game against New England was an embarrassing display of incompetent refereeing. But other than that, the fans have created great atmosphere and the team has played well. I particularly like how the soccer minds in Whitecaps management have proven they know more about the game than all the North American writers who predicted the Caps would struggle to score in the MLS. Imagine.

Tourism: Goal is to become a destination I see scooters driving Continued from A10 products and services available during their vacations that we have to offer. Our ultimate goal is to become a destination sought by many throughout the world, as is the case with Tofino. Flogging that dead horse by trying to make us the Salmon Capital of the World is not going to achieve this on its own in this day and age. We need to emphasize that Campbell River is the Southern Gateway to the Orca Realm of Johnston Strait. We need to let the world know that we are the doorway to the southern reaches of The Great Bear Rain Forest. I believe if we have a Salmon Festival that puts emphasis on the grizzly bears and orcas, coupled with the rich aboriginal cultural component, we will attract more people to come here. As far as I am concerned,
marketing our city as being the Salmon Capital of the World is false advertising, and if you do this in the tourism industry it will haunt you with dissatisfied c u s t o m e r s, wh e r e word of mouth shall decrease one’s bookings in the future. One must also keep in mind that times have changed where Bubba and the boys going fishing have changed to where the females of the household are now deciding how the vacation dollars are going to be spent – and they want unique experiences over fish. I know one thing for sure, if I want exceptional salmon fishing for Tyees, I am off the Moutcha Bay at the end of August. So if Charlie and others want to see our city become the Salmon Capital of the World, well maybe you should be speaking to the First Nations about getting Ocean Ranch-

When the waters surrounding our city and at the mouth of the Campbell River are teaming with thousands of Tyees, as was the case long ago, then we will be in the running for being The Salmon Capital Of the World. Until then, let us educate the world on just how unique Campbell River is with the other regional draws that we are the gateway to. Tom Sewid Aboriginal Adventures Canada
aimlessly down the sidewalks Here is the situation: as I drive through Campbell River, I notice there are a lot more electric scooters on the road. It seems that a majority of them are not aware of their surroundings therefore making it more dangerous for us automobile drivers. My question is: 1) are there currently laws in place for the scooter drivers. I see a lot of scooters driving aimlessly down the road and even on sidewalks waiting for an accident to happen. 2) are the scooters to used on the road or on the sidewalk 3) they should be made more visible to automobile drivers Just a thought.

ICBC drives Volunteer Week I
CBC recognizes Campbell River and area volunteers for helping make B.C. roads safer as part of National Volunteer Week, April 10-16. In recognition of National Volunteer Week, ICBC is thanking Campbell River, Sayward, Quadra Island and Gold River volunteers for their continued support in making our communities safer through road safety programs including Speed Watch, Lock Out Auto Crime and the Stolen Auto Recovery program. “Volunteers make a difference in communities right across the province,” said Shirley Bond, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General. “National
Volunteer Week gives us the opportunity to express our appreciation for all the great work that takes place because volunteers care passionately about their communities. Nearly 50 road safety volunteers and eight community policing offices and police detachments in Campbell River and the surrounding area are focused on ensuring our communities are safer. Thank you to each volunteer who makes these important initiatives possible. You are making a difference.” “The extraordinary dedication to road safety shown by these volunteers and community policing offices is remarkable and truly appreciated,” said Jon Schubert, ICBC’s president

and CEO. “On behalf of all our customers and ICBC employees, thank you!” In 2010, Speed Watch volunteers in Campbell River and the surrounding area contributed over 340 hours to help reduce speed-related crashes in their communities. With the support of volunteers, speedrelated crashes have steadily decreased in B.C. over the last five years. Volunteers use radar and speed-reader boards supplied by ICBC to show drivers how fast they’re actually traveling. Research shows that it works – over 70 per cent of drivers traveling 10km/h over the speed limit slow down when they see a speed-reader board. In 2010, Lock Out Auto Crime volunteers in Campbell River and the surrounding area handed out over 400 notices to drivers to draw attention to the risk of auto theft. Volunteers place notices resembling parking tickets on the windshields of vehicles, many with garage door openers or valuables in sight, offering the owners common sense tips for
preventing auto theft. These volunteers also operate the Stolen Auto Recovery program in Campbell River and the surrounding area, and in 2010, they scanned over 9,000 licence plates to help identify stolen vehicles. Each year, volunteers help to recover hundreds of stolen vehicles in B.C. “These volunteers work tirelessly,” said Caroline Robinson, local ICBC road safety coordinator. “Many give up their Friday evenings to go out on a cold, rainy night to try to locate stolen vehicles or spend their afternoon scanning busy parking lots for unsecured vehicles to help protect owners from becoming a victim of auto crime. With their support, we’ve seen an astounding 65 per cent decrease in auto crime in B.C. since 2003.” Drop by your neighbourhood community policing office to see how you can get involved and help keep your community safe.

Rotary Clubs have committed to a bursary towards the Culinary

here’s no time like the present to bring h lthe topsy-turvy world of Gilbert and Sullivan back to the stage in Campbell River. “I really think that musical theatre has had a renaissance dand that’s because of shows like Glee and High School Musical,” says Heather Gordon, the director of An rEvening of Fun with Gilbert and Sullivan rwhich plays at the nTidemark Theatre on Saturday. While musical thedatre is being brought to new audiences, dCampbell River’s longstanding company Shoreline Musical gTheatre Society hopes to introduce them to the genre’s long and storied past. And what better material to entertain both new audiences and old than that of legendary English songsters Gilbert and Sullivan. “Musical theatre is very cool right now all across the board,” says Gordon. “I think Gilbert and Sullivan is the epitome of musical theatre.” Gilbert and Sullivan

After a short hiatus,

6th ANNUAL CHARITY
GOLF
One Million Milestone within Reach With the Campbell River Community Foundation’s annual golf tournament fast approaching excitement is building that this will be the event that marks a major milestone. For the last five years the generosity of the golfers and sponsors has made the event the largest fundraiser for the Foundation. This year the tournament is anticipated to tip the Foundation over a huge milestone, its first million dollars in endowed funds.
The Foundation’s History Getting to a million however started much further back then the tournament. The Foundation’s history is a story of dedication and vision starting over 20 years ago by a few very committed citizens. In 1990, Mayor Robert Ostler and Council were notified of a meeting that was to take place in Ottawa. It hosted by the Ottawa Community Foundation with funding coming from three other existing foundations in Canada, Vancouver, Winnipeg and Toronto. Then Councillor Mary Ashley attended that meeting as a guest of the Vancouver Foundation to learn more. Upon her return she expressed her legendary enthusiasm for this concept in our community. With unprecedented support coming from existing foundations and seed money from Council the new Campbell River Community Foundation was emerging. It would be another seven years before our community foundation would receive status as a registered charity. During those early years, Mary did double duty, as a Board member for the newly formed Community Foundations of Canada and volunteer working towards our foundation. Joining Mary in the early development of the foundation were Mayor Ostler, Irene Ross, Judge Tony Sarich, Dr. Bob Gordon and Bill Halstead. They oversaw the creation of a non-profit society that eventually received charitable status. One of the first major donations was a legacy from the Western Premiers’ Conference held in Campbell River in 1994. That legacy provides annual funding to children in our community still to this day.

The Campbell River Community Foundation is like a permanent ‘treasure chest’ for charitable needs in our area. Money donated to the Foundation is held in trust permanently. It is the income from those donations that is given out each year to registered non-profits. The distributed income called grants goes to projects that have the wide and important impact on the citizens and community. The Foundation’s vision is to improve the quality of life for the citizens of Campbell River. It does that by staying aware of the changing community needs then offering grants to meet the wide variety of projects and programs. Who gives to the Foundation? Money donated is often given by families or organizations with strong ties to Campbell River who have a desire to build a more sustainable community. The Foundation is thought of as a responsible choice by donors. Those that give get peace of mind knowing that their donation will never be spent yet their generosity lives on. The Foundation receives one time donations as well as regular contributions. Some donations are made to established funds named for the individual, families or organizations that started them. Those funds can choose to direct their income to specific causes such as the environment or children’s needs if desired.
Who has Benefited? Forty different non-profits have benefitted from the Foundation grants over the years. In 2010, six charities received funding totalling $19,000. They are as follows: • Campbell River Volunteer Society received funds to hold a workshop on grant writing and volunteer recruitment • Greenways Land Trust received $12,000 to complete a bridge over Willow Creek on the Jubilee trail • North Island Dragon Boat Society was granted funds for hold a membership drive and to purchase new equipment • Campbell River Search and Rescue Society received money to train members in swift water rescue • Quadra Salmon Enhancement Eco-centre Education Outreach was funded for a school program and summer interpreter • Campbell River Environmental Committee funded the annual Oceans Day with almost $2000 grant This year, the Foundation is eagerly anticipating the next round of applications for their grants so they can once again distribute income to local non-profits.

This is the year the Campbell River Community Foundation reaches six figures, too. It is the year they pass another milestone, granting more than $100,000 to the community non-profits. Over the years the funds have grown which means each year even more income is earned thus more funds are distributed. With a dedicated working Board and Executive Director, the Foundation is developing a two year strategic plan. Their new website launches soon with new features such as a photo gallery and news updates. In the future, it will offer the option of online donations. And yes, Mary Ashley a founding member is still with the Foundation. With great enthusiasm the current Board welcomed her back. She continues to provide valuable insight to guide the Foundation towards its first and subsequent millions.

Campbell River Living Red Hatters take over the Anchor PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
PAUL RUDAN/THE MIRROR
Melani Lambert, originally from the Philippines, serves up rice with chicken as Rose Lorenz (right) looks on during Tuesday’s multicultural potluck at the Community Centre to support disaster relief efforts in Japan. The luncheon raised $7,934.
Tasty fundraiser served up for Japanese relief effort The sushi went real fast. That’s not surprising. Campbell River loves its sushi and the community also showed its love for Japan as more than 325 people came out to support Tuesday’s fundraiser for earthquake and tsunami relief efforts. “Get in there quick, there’s
a lot of great food!” hollered City Coun. Andy Adams after tucking into his share of the feast at the Community Centre. Organized by the Campbell River Multicultural and Immigration Services Society (MISA), the smorgasbord featured fresh and delicious
ethnic dishes from India, Laos, Thai, China, Italy, Philippines, Canada and, of course, Japan. And after everyone left stuffed and satisfied, they had raised $7,934 for disaster relief efforts. “It is wonderful how many community members and
businesses came forward wanting to help, both financially and by volunteering,” said Jorge Little of MISA. “Everyone just seemed very happy to contribute and share lunch. There were overwhelming amount of requests to do it again in the future.”
No, there’s not a sale on red hats today. Those ladies you see sporting the fancy chapeaus are members of the Red Hat Society and 160 of them are taking over the Anchor Inn for a weekend “funvention.” “Women are coming from Vancouver, the Lower Mainland and all over Vancouver Island,” says Red Hatter Marja Roxborough. Roxborough and Tina Vienneau belong to the Scarlet Divas, one of five Red Hat chapters right here in Campbell River. According to the happy Hatters, four of the chapter were instrumental in organizing this weekend’s event. The Hatters are dubbing this the “Fantasy Cruise” and are holding a Hawaiian night and Mardi Gras. “It’s going to be fun and we’re sold out,” says Vinneau. The Red Hat Society is open to women age 50 and over, and the real goal, is fun says the group’s “Queen Mother” Sue Ellen Cooper. “The Red Hat Society began as a result of a few women deciding to greet middle age with verve, humour and elan. We believe silliness is the comedy relief of life, and since we are all in it together, we might as well join red-gloved hands and go for the gusto together,” Cooper writes on www.redhatsociety.com. “Underneath the frivolity, we share a bond of affection, forged by common life experiences and a genuine enthusiasm for wherever life takes us next.”
Campbell River’s senior peer counselling program needs volunteers The Campbell River Senior Peer Counselling program has been running for more than four years, supporting seniors in our community.
They are in need of volunteers, seniors aged 55 and older, who are willing to take a four-day training course and then devote approximately
one hour a week visiting a senior who needs emotional support, and attend two monthly meetings on a variety of interesting educational topics. Volun-
teers find the work meaningful and educational. Training will be happening in May. Men and women who are interested in volunteering are invited
to call Carol at 250-2873044 for an interview or e-mail womenscentre@ shawcable.com Do you know anyone who is over 55 and who may be having
trouble dealing with challenges, such as loneliness, depression, or bereavement? A Senior Peer Counsellor is a senior who is trained as a volunteer
to provide support and guidance. This service is free and all information is kept confidential. This program is for men and women. Call 250-287-3044.

Spirit Square took a decidely plaid look at noon on Wednesday as the first even Tartan Day celebrations were held. After a proclamation read by Mayor Charlie Cornfield commemorating Campbell River’s Scottish heritage, various forms of Scottish entertainment were put on including Highland Dance (left), the Legion Pipe Band and Celtic-themed music from local folksinger Doug Folkins. Of course, many spectators got into the swing of things and wore their best tartans like Ellaner Easton and her dog Jock.

They say memories are golden, well maybe that is true, We never wanted memories, we only wanted you, a million times we cried. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still, In our hearts you hold a place that no one could ever ďŹ ll. If tears could build a stairway and heartache make a lane, We’d walk to the ends of the earth to bring you back again. Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, But as time calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

He is survived by his wife June, sons Mark (Tracy), Wayne (Elvira), Dale (Ann), and daughter Gail (Dennis), 14 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren.

Gas line break disrupts classes
Work on New Simms Creek Pump Station completed ahead of schedule, under budget
Students at Ocean Grove Elementary got out of class early on Wednesday afternoon following a gas line break. Everyone was safely evacuated and students were back in school on Thursday. According to information posted on the school district’s website, a work crew was preparing the ground for a new portable classroom when the natural gas line was hit. They had apparently forgotten the cardinal rule of excavation: Call before you dig.
The City of Campbell River achieved another significant milestone on the Old Island HIghway (Highway 19A) upgrade project last week with the completion of the new lift station, named the Simms Creek Pump Station. The city issued a

It is with heavy hearts and sadness we, the family, announce the sudden passing of our beloved Richard. He was predeceased by his father Raymond Barriault. He is survived by his mother Marie, sister Joeanne (Ken) Delcasino, brothers Roger (Lisa) Barriault, Raymond (Sheila) Barriault, nephew Tejay Delcasino, nieces Ashly Delcasino, Kayla Barriault and a close friend and companion who was special to Richard, Dona Shannon. Richard was born in Campbell River, graduated from Carihi where he had many friends. Richard followed his father’s foot steps and worked out in the woods until he was unable to work due to an injury. He then obtained his Class 1 driver’s licence and started to drive truck for Dave Rennie until his death. Richard was an avid outdoorsman who loved to hunt and fish. His favourite time fishing was for trout with his partner Skylar Gordon who Richard loved deeply. Richard was very good at pulling wrenches on his old beat up trucks for he had to be if he wanted them to run. He was adored and loved by many life long friends. Richard will be sorrily missed by all, for he touched so many hearts with his kindness. If you so desire, donations to a charity of your choice.

A Crush Chaos player sets up for the spike at last weekend’s 34-team tournament in Burnaby. Surrey (25-20, 25-20). Crush then faced a tough cross-over playoff game against sixth-ranked North Vancouver. The girls caught North Van by surprise as they came out fighting with some hard serving and excellent passing. “The girls passed everything without a single error against a
strong serving team,” said coach Jacquie Chase. Kaitlyn Falk and Kaitlyn Herbert led the way with almost perfect passing. North Van took the first set 25-23, but Campbell River came back to take the second 25-18 and the deciding set 15-8 to advance to the quarter-finals against Sunshine Coast. But Chaos had a shaking start and were down 17-2 and went on to lose the first set 25-14. The second set was back and forth with the teams tied 22-22. That’s when Sunshine Coast took control and won 25-22, and then went on to win the gold medal match. In the game for fifth place, Campbell River knocked off Vernon in straight sets.
