Heritage protection urged for lighthouses KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

hree area lighthouses could be protected from potential demolition or sale if they are nominated for heritage designation. Active lighthouses at Cape Mudge, Chatham Point and Nootka are eligible for protection through the Heritage Lighthouse Protection Act, federal legislation that keeps lighthouses safe from any possible changes or destruction. The B.C. Heritage Branch recently informed the Strathcona Regional District it has until May 2012 to petition for lighthouses in its jurisdiction. The general public can also nominate a lighthouse by sending a petition, which must be signed by 25 residents of Canada 18 years of age or older, to Parks Canada. “Time is of the essence,” said Pam Copley, community heritage planner with the Ministry of Forests (which holds responsibility for the Heritage Branch), in a letter to the Regional District July 12. “Landmark lighthouses may be threatened if new sponsors are not found to nominate them for federal heritage designation and/or take responsibility for their long-term upkeep.” At the Regional District’s Committee of the Whole meeting Wednesday, directors asked staff to prepare a report describing the best way for the regional district to support the petition process

for the lighthouses to be declared heritage buildings. So far only three of 30 historic lighthouses in B.C. have been nominated for designation under the heritage protection act and the government is encouraging more nominations. Across Canada, 56 lighthouses have been nominated. “The number of petitions received illustrates the depth of attachment and appreciation Canadians feel for these iconic buildings,” said Norman Shields, manager of the Heritage Lighthouse Program. The Heritage Lighthouse Protection Act came into effect May 2010 when the federal government declared a number of light stations surplus to operational need. The act allows the surplus federally-owned lighthouses to be transferred to new owners as Continued on A5

Chlorine tank leaks The Campbell River Fire Department was called out to the John Hart Water Quality Centre on the afternoon of Tues. Aug. 9, after a leak was found in a tank of chlorine gas. City of Campbell River water supervisor Jenny Brunn said the

p.m. the Campbell River Fire Department was called out. Two firemen entered the facility in Level A Hazmat suits to repair the leak, while two more in the suits waited outside. Another seven of the crew were on site for back-up, according to deputy fire chief Ian Baikie. By 5:30 p.m. the leak was stopped

public was not at risk during the incident. “Yesterday there was absolutely no concern for the public,” said Brunn. When the tanks were being changed that day – as happens twice a month – technicians noticed a small leak from one of them, according to Brunn. Brunn said the leak was “very small” but it persisted, so at 3

and the Fire Department had cleared out. According to Brunn, testing was done outside of the facility during the leak and no measurable amount of the gas was detected, meaning no harm was done to humans, animals, or plants during the leak. “We’re just very safety oriented when it comes to chlorine gas,” said

Grand Opening set for Jubilee Connector Trail Attention all recreation enthusiasts! Bring the family for the grand opening of the Greenways Loop Jubilee Connector trail today from 1-2 p.m. G re e n w ay s L a n d Trust invites everyone in Campbell River to meet at 1 p.m. where Dogwood and Jubilee Parkway connect. From there we will stroll down the trail to the newly constructed bridge over Willows Creek for the official ribbon cutting. The Jubilee Connector is a 2.5 km greenway trail that links pedestrians to a recreational loop around Campbell River. The Greenways Loop will be a vegetated corridor reserved for pedestrian and wildlife mobility. “The Jubilee Connector provides a safe recreation resource to our community and offers many benefits for the community,” says Stacey Larsen, Operations Manager of Greenways “The Greenways Loop trail provides an alternative and accessible transportation route around the perimeter of Camp-

bell River that will promote active lifestyles and will improve the overall social health of the community.” Planning began in 1997, with the adoption of the City of Campbell River Of ficial Community. In 2009, Greenways Land Trust was appointed project manager for the southern portion of the Greenways Loop. The Jubilee Connector and construction on the Jubilee Trail then began in 2010. “Many local jobs were created building this trail, including displaced forestry workers,” adds Erin Nowak, on-leave Operations Manager “The work crew completed many tasks such as site prep, invasive species removal, trail and bridge building, tree planting, erosion and sediment control.” The project had a $500,000 budget which was all fund raised and managed by Greenways Land Trust. This project wouldn’t have been a success without the support of partners and in-kind volunteer donations.

The new WIllow Creek bridge is one of the features of the Jubilee Connector Trail.

The Discovery Coast G re e n w ay s L a n d Trust (GLT) is a nonprofit charity that was formed in 1996 to enhance and maintain the greenways networks of Campbell River. The completion of the Greenways Loop was a priority project for the GLT because the project will enhance the Greenways network within our community. The Greenways Land Trust has worked in partnership with the Community Development Trust, Island Coast Economics Trust, Job Opportunities Program, Mallinson Scaling and Consulting Ltd (doing business as Oceanside Scaling), Maritime Pacific Engineering

Ltd., Campbell River Community Foundation, Pacific Salmon Foundation, Willow Creek Watershed Society, TD Friend of the Environment, Coastal Community Credit Union, City of Campbell River, Strathcona Re g i o n a l D i s t r i c t , and many others who helped this project along the way. Watch for signs and planting of native shrubs that will enhance the Jubilee Connector trail in the fall of 2011. Volunteers will be needed, so, keep an eye out for event postings and information in the near future. The next stage for completion of the Greenways Loop includes beginning construction on another portion of the trail that will join the eastern side of the Jubilee connector trail to the Rotary Sea Walk along the oceanfront at Maryland Road. For more information please contact G re e n w ay s L a n d Trust by phone at (250) 287-3785 or by e-mail at greenways@greenwaystrust.ca.

Road closure for dam work BC Hydro is preparing to upgrade a small section of the John Hart Dam near the spillway gates that pass water down the Elk Falls Canyon. The resulting work will require a full road closure for Brewster Lake

Road during the approximate six week construction period from Aug. 24 – Oct. 11. The nearby detour route around the dam will be Iron River Road. BC Hydro will be drilling a number of holes into the dam to provide for a jet grouting process to bind an area of earthfill material

together. BC Hydro continually evaluates its dams against national and international best practice, and performs investigations whenever any potential concerns are raised. This work is a result of such an investigation that identified a small

area within the dam that required earthquake strengthening. Signage will be placed along the geographic area to redirect traffic, particularly tourists looking to access campground and other recreation sites within the watershed, to Iron River Road.

Lighthouse: Public can nominate for heritage protection Continued from A1 long as the lighthouses, which can be used for other purposes, are properly maintained. The act also protects lighthouses that are staffed and operational, not deemed surplus, such as the three in the Strathcona Regional District’s jurisdiction:

Cape Mudge Located on the souther n tip of Quadra Island, the Cape Mudge Lighthouse marks the southern entrance to Discovery Passage. It was built in 1898 to accommodate increased marine traffic as a result of the

Klondike gold rush. Plans to de-staff the lightstation which has an automated weatherobserving system and solar-powered light, horn and videograph fog sensor were put off pending further review after public protest in 2009.

Chatham Point Marks the point where the Discovery Passage makes a sharp turn to meet the Johnstone Strait, about 25 kilometres north of Campbell River. The light was built offshore on a rock about five feet above water. A fog horn, two one-storey

lightkeeper dwellings and a boathouse were constructed in 1957. The station remains staffed today and the lightkeeper’s duties i n cl u d e c o l l e c t i n g marine and weather data as well as maintaining the lighthouse.

Nootka Located on the west coast of Vancouver Island at the entrance to Nootka Sound, the history of the lighthouse dates back to 1906, when the storekeeper at Friendly Cove established a light to assist mariners in the area. Three years later a petition

was sent to the federal government asking for a permanent light to mark Nootka Sound. Ottawa obliged and in 1910 a lighthouse was built atop San Rafael Island, lying off Friendly Cove. In 1952 new 32-foot, steel skeletal towers, were erected at Nootka and Cape Beale. The lighthouse remains active and nestled in an isolated spot. Anyone interested in nominating a lighthouse for heritage protection can visit the Parks Canada website, w w w. p a rk s c a n a d a . gc.ca or call the Heritage Lighthouse Program, 819-934-9096.

Island. The accident happened just before 10 a.m. on Heriot Bay Rd., just south of Animal Farm Rd., according to Cst. Martin Neveu. A dump truck was driving along the road with the dumper up. The dumper then caught on overhead utility wires, which caused the truck to overturn, said Neveu. He said alcohol was

not a factor in the accident. While Quadra Island RCMP got the accident site cleared by 2 p.m. that afternoon, they are still investigating whether it was a mechanical or human error, according to Neveu. “We’re still investigating, and we’re still following up and trying to figure out what happened,” said Neveu.

Coastal leaders push for changes to B.C. ferry system RENÉE ANDOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

For breaking news, visit: www.CampbellRiverMirror.com

After joining forces on the issue of coastal ferry service, Coastal Re g i o n a l D i s t r i c t chairs and vice-chairs continue to push their recommendations forward to address concerns over the service.

After a meeting with Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Blair Lekstrom on July 19, eight Coastal Re g i o n a l D i s t r i c t chairs and vice-chairs met again – this time to discuss options for improvements with BC Ferry Commissioner Gordon Macatee on

Aug. 8 in Victoria. “I felt very positive about his listening skills,” said Strathcona Regional District vice-chair Jim Abram. “The entire g roup made it clear that we don’t want to see the (Coastal Ferry) Act just tinkered with.” Abram said most of

the chairs and vicechairs have a “little bit different twist” on what improvements to make to the ferry system, but he wants the Commissioner to look at whether the Coastal Ferry Act should exist anymore; he wants ferry service to go back under the wing of the

Ministry of Transportation and Highways. Macatee will be visiting coastal communities to hear residents’ opinions, including how fare increases have been affecting them. The Quadra Island meeting will be at 7 p.m. on Sept. 26.

Student garden goes international KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Timberline school’s edible courtyard has the attention of a popular American television series. A researcher from Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution, a program that follows English chef Jamie Oliver as he tries to reform school lunch programs in the United States, was impressed by the local high school’s story. The edible courtyard is now gaining international exposure as a featured news story on the Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution website. “Whether it is that you can set up a garden and educate students on nutrition from the ground up, or that you can start a nutrition committee at your school, we can start our own local revolutions and create change,” says Joanna Creed, research and social media analyst for Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution. “This is why I decided to feature the edible courtyard; it’s a great story and especially nice to see an ex-student working on this project.” Kira DeSorcy, a Timberline graduate, is the driving force behind the project and pitched the concept to Timberline principal Kevin Harrison. She envisions the garden, which is not yet complete, as a place to grow food, promote horticultural therapy and teach students the value of nutrition and locally grown foods. What comes out of the garden will go towards Timberline’s Skills for Life’s weekly lunch program and North Island College’s culinary ar ts program. The garden grows in the quad between the two schools and in the future, may have picnic tables and a space that will double as a garden shed and an outdoor classroom. The edible courtyard is now being used as an example of the right kind of approach to have to towards food, unlike the attitudes of the American cities Oliver features on his show. “We like to showcase great stories such as this to highlight the fantastic things people

from all ages and background are doing in their own Food Revolution and to inspire others by showing them that change can be made,” Creed says. DeSorcy is thrilled with the publicity the courtyard is getting through the story and photos she submitted for the website.

“This kind of exposure is great,” DeSorcy says. “I think that school gardens play a huge role in inspiring environmental stewardship and healthy life skills for today’s youth, and by being acknowledged by someone like Jamie Oliver it can help forward the movement here.”

Oliver’s TV prog ram is aimed at curbing obesity in the unhealthiest American cities through a grassroots health campaign. The show has ran for two seasons but was dropped due to lower second season ratings and will not return for a third season. The show’s website

features stories from communities that have programs or initiatives that teach healthy eating habits. To view Timberline’s edible courtyard story visit www.jamieoliver. com/us/foundation/ jamies-food-revolution/index and click News, then Latest News.

PUBLISHER: Zena Williams publisher@campbellrivermirror.com EDITOR: Alistair Taylor editor@campbellrivermirror.com

Our View

We can only fiddle as the world burns There’s so much anger. We see it on the streets, in our media and at the polls. Cities across England are aflame this week after a police-shooting death in north LonWe say: We need don Saturday. Regardless of whether those who have taken part riot over civil discourse a sense of injustice, the economy or rather than civil opportunism, certainly others – as we in the Lower Mainland know too well disobedience – have rioted for far, far less. The riot reports have replaced on the world stage the recent terrorist attacks in Norway two weeks earlier that killed 77 and injured dozens more (which had, in turn, replaced outrage over the the international

media scandal in which privacy has been invaded and laws broken). What next? In the United States, polarization of politics has resulted in a steady flow of vitriol spewing from all sides and a local economy that threatens the rest of us beyond their borders. Closer to home, voters seethe as we threaten repercussions over high taxes, lost rights and fickle representation, yet we never seem to gather the strength to organize a meaningful, peaceful revolt. Instead, we seethe. The problem is, too many of us are seething and, as is happening around the world, mass seething can lead to pockets of violence. It’s as if the world is suffering from road-rage, and we don’t know who’s going around the bend next.

Time to say enough. What the world needs now is leadership – calm, authoritative leadership. We need a call for peace – accompanied by a call for justice that isn’t entrenched with a call to arms. We need civil discourse rather than civil disobedience. And we need it fast. Until then, it’s important that we, as individuals, take matters in our own hands to ensure we never reach that boiling point. Perhaps it’s just a matter of finding your solace, whether walking on the beach, enjoying a good book or practising a musical instrument in the quiet of your own home – at peace, while the world around you burns. – Black Press

Good point: Grow closer to home I applaud Morgan Ostler’s efforts to renew and redefine an agricultural base especially in this age of a failing global economy. The truth is that fruits and vegetables, all foods we consume for that matter, are fresher and therefore contain more nutrients the closer they are produced to home. The truth is we import freight cars of fruits and vegetables from Washington, California, Mexico and South America along with foreign pesticides, herbicides and ripening agents. The truth is gas prices are soaring and ferry costs are criminally unreasonable. Food produced closer to home is not only more nutritious, it will ultimately be more affordable and readily available in our future. The truth is forestry, aquaculture and construction industries feed families. Agriculture will feed the community and potentially many Island communities. Going organic is great, but it can be expensive. Growing and consuming closer to home is good for our community, our economy, our health and just makes good sense. Lorna Hallson

Sea, sun, sand and our wonderful provincial parks

Alistair Taylor Out On A Limb

Okay, lots of places have sandy beaches. And lots of places have flat-calm, blue water but how many places have a ring of white-capped mountains around them covered over by a dome of azure sky? Not many. That was the scene Sunday evening at Saratoga Beach as we set up lawn chairs and gathered what little bits of firewood there was for a hot dog roast. The kids meanwhile, bolted down to the sand bar to wade, snorkel, swim and build a sandcastle. It’s really one of the most spectacular places around this area and with not a cloud in the sky, the many shades of blue in the sea, sky and mountains were too beautiful for words. Saratoga Beach has a wonderful informality to it. It has minimal ser-

vices, being a regional district park, but it works. It’s very popular but everyone gets along. There’s all manner of floating devices, dogs, kids in lifejackets bobbing along in the water, young men shooting across the water/beach margin on skimboards, kayakers and just about any other method of having fun on a beach that you could think of. I wondered if nearby Miracle Beach Provincial Park would recoup any of the day-use visitors it lost when the province instituted a day-use fee a few years ago? That fee was rescinded this spring by new Premier Christy Clark and her family-friendly focus and maybe the people who were offended about having to pay twice for a public facility (our tax dollars built and maintain it; then we pay a

day-use fee as well?) might go back to using it? Miracle Beach became the exclusive use of the campers in the adjacent campground while the parking lot was left virtually empty as people refused to pay the day-use fee. Throughout that period Saratoga kept humming along with hundreds of beach blankets, sunshades and sandcastles setting up each day. And speaking of parks, Strathcona Provincial Park has a number of events coming up during this its 100th anniversary. Many of those events are being put on by non-governmental organizations because the province has been cheaping out on our provincial park system for far too long now. I don’t remember being given a choice between having my tax

dollars spent on our wonderful provincial parks or on a million dollar salary for the BC Ferry service boss (the same position that in Washington State gets compensated around $140,000). I missed that referendum. But don’t let the government’s neglect keep you away from Strathcona Park. It’s an amazing wilderness that’s still accessible right on our back door. Environmental group the Friends of Strathcona Park have some events for Aug. 20 to celebrate our park and I hope you all saw the article we had on Wednesday promoting a day to celebrate the park’s accessible trails in Paradise Meadows on Aug. 21. Strathcona’s less accessible places are receiving attention from FOSP as Continued on A11

Lake before reuniting with our canoes to paddle and portage our way to the mouth of the Campbell River. It was a great trip but we had a devil of a time trying to find the trail after we passed the point where it had been washed out by the river. It really would be a fantastic asset to the park to have a good trail from Bedwell Inlet to Buttle Lake. The issue for FOSP,

of course, is the licence given to a commercial resort at the head of Bedwell Inlet to run horses up and down the Bedwell River Valley on the route that the old hiking trail used to go (and still does in some places). This is contrary to the park’s master plan which was developed with public input. If you’re interested in helping out, the FOSP are taking reasonably fit volunteers

to give about six days of their time to work party (endorsed by BC Parks) that would clear brush on a section of the trail. Call Kel Kelly at 250-337-8348 or e-mail kelkelly55@yahoo.ca if you want to help. You have to be able to camp out for the duration of the project. Sounds like it would be fun though.

-well as they continue -to upgrade the Bedwell River Trail. This year, ethey’re having a work eparty to clear part of dthe trail from Bedwell Lake to the Ashwood dRiver, a total of about dsix kilometres. - The trail was originally cleared by the sFOSP in 1994 but cololapsing bridges, road ewashouts and a lack of maintenance have nseen the trail deterio-

rate to the point that it has been closed by BC Parks for the past three years. I can attest to the poor trail. Three years ago, I hiked the trail as part of a cross-Vancouver Island trip I did with 1st Campbell River Venturers. We paddled from Tofino to the mouth of the Bedwell River and then hiked from there up the river valley and over the central Vancouver Island mountains to Buttle

Cyclist hits the road to end MS

Passing and Turning for Bike Lanes Please explain whether a bike in a bike lane can pass on the right of a car and the proper way for cars to turn right through a bike lane. A bike lane is a special use lane marked on the highway like any other lane, the difference being that motor vehicles must generally stay out of it. The exception occurs at intersections where it is necessary to turn right and the line between the lanes has changed from solid to broken. In this case, the driver must do a proper lane change over the segment with the broken line prior to turning and must not affect the travel of cyclists using the bike lane. Otherwise, if there is no broken line, the driver must remain in the right most vehicle lane prior to turning and yield to any bike traffic before turning right and crossing over the bike lane. Bicycles using the bike lane may pass with caution on the right of traffic in the lane to their left. This is because they are in a multiple lane situation where there is an unobstructed lane on the right of overtaken traffic that the cyclist is permitted to use. The requirement to pass with caution does place an onus on the cyclist to expect something other than unconditional right of way when passing. The author is a retired constable with many years of traffic enforcement experience. To comment or learn more please visit www.drivesmartbc.ca.

David Cox is on a mission to end multiple sclerosis (MS) by riding his bike the length of Vancouver Island, twice. Cox set out from Victoria a week ago in an effort to raise funds for the MS Society of Canada. He stopped into the Campbell River Mirror’s office on his way back from Port Hardy on Wed. Aug. 10 as he was going from the Sayward Junction to Courtenay during this day. “I’ve been doing more than 100 kilometres every day since I left,” said Cox. When he gets to Mill Bay today, he will stick around to take part in the Cowichan Valley Grape Escape tour this weekend. This bike tour is a twoday 150 km ride which also raises funds for the MS Society of Canada. Cox will then ride the last 33 km of his journey home over the Malahat on Monday. So far, Cox said he’s raised $4400, but he has until Aug. 28 to get that number higher. Pledges can be made by going to www.mssociety.ca, clicking on donate, and then pledging him as a cyclist.

Doing things differently at Hudson’s Farm RENÉE ANDOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

hree young people are trying out a different style of food production at Hudson’s Farm in Campbell River. Kira DeSorcy, 21, Emily Morin, 19, and Mark Mitchell, 25, started their producegrowing business, Vibrant Organics, this past spring. It’s a CSA (community supported agriculture), which means it sells directly to consumers instead of through mainstream avenues.

Vibrant Organics is also set apart from other produce companies with its focus on small-scale farming and an emphasis on connecting consumers to the food they eat. “It’s really great to get people to connect with their food better,” said DeSorcy. “Just to see what grows in your climate at that time, and just to be more connected to your climate.” Focusing on seasonal growing, Vibrant Organics only has produce available in season, meaning customers won’t be

Although the boxes can be shipped out for a fee, Vibrant Organics encourages people to come out to the farm to see how the food is grown. “We have a really open door policy; people can come and check out the farm and see what we’re doing,” said DeSorcy. Vibrant Organics has seven people signed up to the box program to date, but has a maximum number of 15 spaces available for this year. For details on the box program call 250-286-4800 or email vibrantogan-

able to get tomatoes in June because they aren’t ripe in June. While it isn’t certified organic, DeSorcy said organic methods of growing are used. It runs a box program where people who sign up receive a box of fresh produce each week for $30. The boxes are jam packed with things like potatoes, zucchini, lettuce, beets, peas, beans, herbs, and many other items. The box program also gives out interesting seasonal food recipes and a newsletter with updates on Hudson’s

Timberline Secondary School (see page A9).. Morin said this year has been a huge learning experience. “It’s a more amazing learning opportunity than wwoofing, or going to horticulture school, or than having your own garden,” said Morin. “We’ve learned more than all of those experiences combined probably.” DeSorcy said the business has potential because it isn’t selling to grocery chains so receives more return on investment. She urges people to get into farming, pointing out that the average age of food producers is over 60 right now. “We need more local food, we need more organic food production,” said DeSorcy.

in April, the three are using the first year as a trial year to work out the kinks, and they will try to expand Vibrant Organics next year. The trio met while they were in the horticulture technician program at Camosun College in Victoria, and graduated together in April 2010. Morin and Mitchell spent the past year working on a farm for room and board (known as WWOOF – World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms) to gain some hands-on experience with farming, while DeSorcy came back to her hometown of Campbell River and started some local gardening initiatives, like the Edible Courtyard at

Campbell River Living Celebrating people’s lives through their stories RENÉE ANDOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Bill Black has embarked on a second career as a funeral celebrant.

ill Black is full of stories – other people’s stories that is. After retiring as an elementary school principal in Campbell River six years ago, Black missed working with people – so he decided to become a funeral celebrant. A funeral celebrant works with families and the funeral home to plan a unique celebration of life for the deceased. Black’s business, called Coastal Celebrant, offers services which are nondenominational and very personalized. “They’re never the same because these people are not the same,” explained Black. “They’re all individual with very unique stories.” “I love people’s stories,” he added with a smile. First, Black meets with the family for a few hours

“

THEY SAID IT: “It’s finding respect and happiness and sadness.”

– Bill Black, funeral celebrant

to learn about the person who passed away. “My job is to direct the conversation and listen,” explained Black. “I really get to know who the deceased was.” He then works with the family and the funeral home to create a personaliz ed service, which can include things like a grandchild walking up to the front of the room to light a candle, or a memory table to remind family and friends of the deceased’s hobbies and interests. Black said services offer closure for family and friends of the person who passed away, and considers

this vital to the grieving process. “Services, call it whatever you like, a celebration of life, is really important,” said Black. “The family needs something to say goodbye, to acknowledge, to respect.” Black and his f amily didn’t do any kind of service for his father or mother, and he said “there’s still this gap,” because they didn’t get the closure they needed. Getting the family and friends together to swap stories about the deceased is something Black also says is very important. “If we don’t ask about the stories, about the history, sometimes it’s gone,” he explained. While Black thoroughly enjoys his current profession, some may wonder how exactly he came up with the idea to become a funeral celebrant in the first place. When his mother-in-law

passed away Black’s family asked him to do the speaking at the service because of his public speaking experience as a principal. Then a close friend of his requested he do her service before she passed away. After the two services went smoothly, his wife suggested he keep doing it. After training, Black was certified by Doug Manning of the In-Sight Institution in Oklahoma, U.S. Although he is based in Campbell River, Black offers his services throughout central and northern Vancouver Island. And even though he already retired once, he doesn’t see himself retiring from his new profession in the near future. “It’s very rewarding,” said Black. “It’s finding respect, and happiness, and sadness… it’s hard to explain.” For more information visit www.coastalcelebrant. com.

Ravens goalie is B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Player of the Year KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Campbell Riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Matt Zeller had the surprise of his life during his midget lacrosse teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s run at provincials last month. Standing next to eight other lacrosse players from across the province, Zeller,16, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expecting to hear his name as this seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Player of the Year was announced. The young goalie had already been named Player of the Year in the Island zone but had no idea he would be the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall winner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was surprised,â&#x20AC;? s ay s Z e l l e r, wh o played for the midget B Ravens this past season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All I knew was that I had got the Zone 6 but I had no clue at all that I was getting the BCLA (British Columbia Lacrosse Association) one.â&#x20AC;? Zellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, Jim Zeller, was in attendance to see the moment unfold. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was pretty proud and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty wellknown with the Victoria teams and the Lower Mainland teams so he got quite the reception when it was announced,â&#x20AC;? Jim said. Along with being a c k n ow l e d g e d a s

the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best lacrosse player this year, the two Player of the Year titles combined earned Zeller a $1,000 scholarship to put towards his education at any postsecondary institution he chooses. Zeller, who is starting Gr.11 at Carihi this September, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure just yet where he wants to go to school. Still, his mom Tanya Zeller, says the money will be a huge help to her son. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The scholarships will be held in trust until he graduates and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good for anything he wants to do, unlike a lot of them that hold you to having to play for the school youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re attending,â&#x20AC;? Tanya says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a great award, it goes a long way.â&#x20AC;? Zeller, who has played lacrosse since he was six-years-old and was influenced by a former Storm billet to play, took on a lot this year. Not only did he play on the midget team, but he also played on Team Island, which features the top lacrosse players from the region and he was called by the Jr. B Ravens, a step up from minor lacrosse, to backup goalie Logan Down. Zeller also volunteered as an assistant

coach for the peewee C Ravens and helped out with the Learn to Play mentoring program which gives kids who have never played lacrosse before a chance to try the sport. While lacrosse took up to five to six days of his week the entire season (April to July), Zeller still managed to make the honour roll at school, part of the criteria for winning his two awards. â&#x20AC;&#x153; We are all extremely proud of him,â&#x20AC;? says Christine Mitchell, president of Campbell River Minor Lacrosse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Matt has been my daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coach this year in lacrosse and he has dedicated a huge amount of time to instructing the younger generation in the sport of lacrosse. He is a talented young man with a very bright future.â&#x20AC;? Zellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accomplishments couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have come at a better time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in his last year of minor lacrosse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had a huge, huge year,â&#x20AC;? mom Tanya says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a really fitting way to end his minor lacrosse career but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not done. He has high hopes.â&#x20AC;? Zeller plans on trying out for the intermediate A team in either Nanaimo or Victoria, while still

Teresa Lynn Hass December 13, 1948 to July 29, 2011

Our dear Teresa has passed away with family and friends at her side on July 29, 2011. Teresa was born in Comox in 1948. She spent most of her school years in the lower mainland and, in 1968, moved to Campbell River where she had her two children, Stacy and Steven. She then set off on many adventures in BC and around the world before returning to Campbell River in 1987 to share her life with her husband, Wilf. Over the past 24 years, Campbell River has become Teresa’s home. She has shared her life and her love with her family and many friends from the Dinner Club, the Happy Hour, the school board and many more. Teresa always approached life with a spirit of giving and gratitude. She was thankful for every experience: the sight of a new bloom in her beautiful garden, finding just the right ingredient for a gourmet meal, connecting with one of her grandchildren, or sharing the gift of time with a friend. She was even thankful for times that many would have found difficult. She was able to find the positive in everything and was truly someone for whom the glass was half full. Throughout her journey with Cancer, Teresa has been so well cared for by many health professionals who have provided compassion, wisdom, and guidance. Her family would like to express appreciation to all who have contributed to her care. To express her appreciation and to make her own contribution, Teresa implemented the Gratitude project this spring. Her goal was to raise money for educational opportunities and funding to support the Oncology Clinic at the Campbell River Hospital. We would love to continue to work on this project in her honour. In lieu of flowers, please feel free to send a donation to the Gratitude Project through the Campbell River Hospital Foundation or http://www.gratitudeproject.ca. A memorial service to celebrate Teresa’s life, will be held at 1:00 pm on August 26, 2011 at St. Peter’s Anglican Church, 228 South Dogwood Street, Campbell River. We welcome you to join us.

Ten years ago ﬁve men were tragically taken from their loved ones, and though time may have eased the grief, the hole in our hearts and lives endures. Their loss will forever affect their family, friends, and colleagues; for a time, a community mourned their passing. Some memories may gently fade but we never forget those we have loved and carry them close in our hearts today and forever. Our thoughts are with the families and friends of the men lost that day - Lee, Randy, Brenden, John and our Troy.

The magic of Chicken Dung Tea

ILLEGALLY DUMPED THE DARK SIDE OF NEW STUFF

Moving up in the world means buying new stuff and getting rid of old. But would your social status really rise if the whole picture were clear to your family and friends?That as you beautify your home, you pollute our woods? Become transparent and do the right thing. Much of your household garbage can be recycled and as a last resort, taken to the dump. See Campbellriverrecycles.ca for ideas. Anyone with information on the person(s) who illegally dump items please call 250-203-2316.

The ultimate gift for a food gardener… a gunny-sack of chicken manure. No one but a couple of elderly farm kids could understand the thrill. My friend Walter and I were thinking back on childhoods in the 1930s raised by families that maintained large food gardens.

Since then we have made and used two more barrels. Now I want to tell you without exaggeration my 10 tomato plants literally shot out of the ground. They are now averaging between four and five feet high in fact getting so rangy that I clipped most of the tops off as the fruits are beginning to shape up and too much foliage will weaken the plants ability to grow tomatoes to full size.

spotted a 60 gal. blue drum at the local auction and was the successful bidder for a modest $10 bill. He dragged the drum home, drilled a hole near the bottom for a spigot and filled it to the top with water. Next he found a metal bar that fitted nicely across the top of the barrel and from that he hung a gunny sack filled with about 10 pounds of chicken manure. I viewed the operation with childlike enthusiasm and every morning I pulled aside the lid to peer into the depths and check if the manure was gradually dissolving into the water. Walter said “wait at least two weeks” but that didn’t suit my impatient nature so on the seventh day I twisted open the spigot and filled my watering can with this
