Downtown in need of new lights ALISTAIR TAYLOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Campbell River needs to find at least $1.45 million to upgrade lighting in the downtown. Over the past 25 years lights installed in the 1980s have weathered badly, city transportation manager Drew Hadfield says in a report to city council’s Tuesday meeting. “The marine environment has caused extensive corrosion to many of the street lights resulting in lighting failures and structural failures of the light standards,” Hadfield says. The city has acquired new street lights and has replaced some of the old and failing lights, using the existing bases and electrical services. The uncertainty of the existing capacity and the condition of the electrical services and connections prompted a review and redesign of the system. A review was undertaken last year by Applied Engineering Solutions (AES) that determined that the complete system requires replacing. AES then evaluated what work needed to done, if any of the existing light standards could be reused and determine what a new system would look like. This redesign noted that the existing system did not meet current design standards and lighting levels. In order to meet current electrical Continued on A3

Judges blooming busy during tour of city RENÉE ANDOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Campbell River entered the national Communities in Bloom competition for the third year in a row, and the judges were taken

on a whirlwind tour of the city Thursday and Friday to see how the city stacks up against the rest of the country. The city first entered the national competition in 2009, and has received five blooms out of

five for 2009 and 2010. It will find out where it stands in comparison to the rest of the country in late October, but for now, Lynn Wark, Parks Project Supervisor for the City of Campbell River, said the tour went “great.”

Black Press photographer Chris Bush wants to drop-kick cancer into history books Toby Gorman Black Press

hris Bush has a bone to pick with cancer. In the last few years, cancer has taken his mother, aunt and three friends, the latter of whom were all close to Bush’s age of 53. His aunt, who died in June, is described by Bush, a Black Press photographer based in Nanaimo, as a “vibrant woman with no reason to shut down at all.” Not one to normally Special participate in the feature seemingly weekly five-kilometre Black Press local runs for newspapers on cancer, Bush Vancouver Island decided over will publish this many months special feature to participate in page spotlighting something a little police officers bigger – the 2011 taking part Canadian Cancer in this year’s Society Cops for Canadian Cancer Cancer Tour de Society Rock. Cops for Cancer The bicycle Tour de Rock. journey will take Bush and 21 Island teammates from Port Hardy to Victoria from Sept. 24 to Oct. 7 to raise money for Camp Goodtimes, a retreat for children with cancer, and pediatric cancer research. Some of Bush’s reasons for participating are selfish, some are to help others, while others still are to do his part to dropkick cancer into the history books. He wants to do it while he still can. “I’m grateful at my age to be able to do this. A lot of people can’t,” said Bush, the oldest member of the team. “I’ve always wanted to cycle the Island and this is a great opportunity. At the same time,

TOUR DE ROCK FULL PROCESS Black Press photo

Chris Bush, with teammate Sandra Holman, hopes to raise $25,000 in this year’s Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock. I’m helping kids and getting a better understanding of what it’s all about. It’s hard to overstate how neat this experience has been so far.” The training rides are gruelling – one in mid-July included a ride up the 18-kilometre Strathcona Parkway to Mt. Washington – but necessary to prepare the riders for the 1,000-kilometre tour that visits nearly every village, town and city along the way. Hard work, long drives to get to training sites and late dinners aside, Bush said the experience is worth it. To balance home, work and Tour de Rock responsibilities, he’s had to lean on his network

of supporters, mostly his wife Laurie. He has also forged many friendships on the team, a group of people he describes as committed and interesting. “You really get to like your teammates a lot,” he said. Team members are made up of police, auxiliary police and media, all of whom need to raise a minimum of $5,000. Along with training rides, team members are asked to participate in community events leading up to the tour, the most notable for Bush being a visit with children at Camp Goodtimes last week. “It’s going to be interesting,” he said, before leaving for the

camp. “I know it’s going to be emotional. Any time you’re confronted with kids in a difficult situation it’s tough. I won’t know how I’ll react until I get there.” Until the tour officially begins, Bush said he’s going to continue to keep pace with the increasing demands that come with being a tour rider. He’ll continue to put the kilometres in, do his best to fundraise to meet his goal of $25,000 and continue to have fun. “You only get one shot at this and that’s it,” he said. “But I’m feeling healthy – healthy as I’ve ever been. My clothes are loose, my lungs are healthy, I’m tired but it’s a good tired.”

ON TOUR: This year’s Tour de Rock begins in Port Alice on Saturday, Sept. 24 and ends Friday, Oct. 7 in Victoria. Tour de Rock raises funds and awareness for pediatric cancer research and programs.

Woman assaulted in park A 43-year-old woman was assaulted by a male of similar age in Foreshore Park, at approximately 8:30 p.m. on Saturday. The woman was watching the evening entertainment at Spirit Square with a group of friends. When her friends left briefly to go to the washroom, a man made unwanted sexual advances on the woman. When she declined his advances the man assaulted her. The victim, who was using crutches at the time, began chasing the suspect, attempting to strike him with one of her crutches. Several people at the park witnessed this incident. RCMP are seeking any information related to this assault or the foot pursuit that followed it.

Lights: $1.45 million price tag Continued from A1 code and ground lighting requirements, a survey was done and a redesign of the layout was done. The consultant also compared lighting requirements using new lighting technologies that would extend the life of the light fixture and reduce the cost to power the light. The consultant has provided the city with a preliminary design and cost estimates. The project at the preliminary design stage to redo the lighting system in the downtown areas is $1.45 plus contingency and other costs. These costs will be further redefined once the detailed design is completed and a tender ready package is produced. The consultant will also be looking at additional funding grants through BC Hydro and other agencies. The preliminary redesign of the downtown street lighting has been completed. The remainder of the work has not progressed to date. A revised schedule to complete the works could be done over the next 3-4 months and would result in a tender-ready design for when a funding resource becomes available to undertake the upgrade.

Judges: Foreshore protection explained Continued from A10 landscape, turf, and groundcovers; and floral displays, with an emphasis on community involvement in each of these areas. So, although called Communities in Bloom, the competition encompasses much more than flowers. “It’s really about a healthy community, instead of just growing flowers,” said Wark. “Developing that sense of community development, that pride, and that community spirit.” Rosa and Lamont were taken all over the city on Friday to see everything from Highway 19A upgrades, to the Laughing Willow Community Garden, Discovery Pier, the Compost Education Centre, and the Baikie Island Restoration project. Foreshore improvements at Dick Murphy Park was another piece of Campbell River that was shown off to the judges. Terri Martin, Environmental Coordinator for the City of Camp-

bell River, explained the city’s soft-shore technique used to strengthen the foreshore against erosion in this area, while the judges had a look for themselves. According to Martin, much of the city’s foreshore currently has riprap, or large rocks, in place to prevent waves from coming into land. However, when the waves crash directly into the riprap the power is intense and foreshore areas are eroding at an alarming rate. “Every time there’s a winter storm, a huge chunk of shoreline can be washed away; you can literally lose feet in a significant event, and you can’t reclaim that land, so it’s a concern,” said Martin. Instead of using riprap to create a barrier protecting the land from winter storms, the city used materials like logs and cobble stones at Dick Murphy Park three years ago. These materials regularly wash up in boat launches, and were

relocated to the park foreshore to re-create a natural beach profile. The waves then break farther out, and come into land gradually, rather than crashing directly into the riprap. The foreshore has held up since then, according to Martin. She is working on a plan to have this tech-

nique implemented on all city owned beaches, as well as having it incorporated into the OCP (Official Community Plan) so private property owners must implement it when developing in the future. As for the judges of Communities in Bloom, Martin said they were keen to learn

about the project. “They seemed quite interested in the whole coastal process because you don’t really think of how all these different things are linked,” said Mar tin, “and when I described how much land could be lost in one storm — it’s surprising, it’s surprising even to people who live here.”

Coroner commends safety moves following fatal plunge at Elk Falls The BC Coroners Service is commending the Ministry of Environment for quickly upgrading signage at the site of a park visitor’s fatal fall. On Monday, Dutch tourist, Cornelis Bot, 42, slipped and fell into the Campbell River at Elk Falls. BC Parks staff met with the local coroner at the accident site on

Wednesday for a preliminary review of the incident, and committed to: ■ Add 12 signs bearing international symbols for fall and water hazards to the complement of BC Parks and BC Hydro war ning signs already in place. ■ Discuss with BC Hydro the feasibility of replacing a sign that was posted on the

rocks, but washed away by high water. ■ Meet with the local coroner and other agencies, such as the RCMP, to discuss further public safety strategies. By the end of the month, BC Parks staff will also conduct a full risk assessment of potential dangers for visitors to Elk Falls Provincial Park, as

well as possible mitigation options like fencing. As well, BC Parks has updated its Elk Falls website with the following caution to visitors: “BC Parks war ns all park visitors to stay back at least three metres from the water’s edge in highrisk areas, wear appropriate footwear, keep

children and pets close to parents at all times and pets on a leash at all times around rushing water.” The BC Coroners Service continues its investigation of the circumstances surrounding the death. No decision about whether or not to conduct an inquest into the death has been made.

Campbell River eyed for bike race return KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Mayor Charlie Cornfield expects the BC Bike Race will return to Campbell River next year. T he race, which brought roughly 450 cyclists from around the world to Campbell River July 4, rode through the city for the first time in its his-

tory. Organizers were so impressed by Campbell River and its trails that they are “considering making it an annual stop” Cornfield told city council July 12. BC Bike Race officials said “it’s likely” the race will return but it has not been officially confirmed. Tom Skinner, BC Bike Race General Manager,

who blogged daily during the race, had high praise for the city. “Thanks to an array of amazing trails, and a warm and welcoming community, Campbell River Stage Two made its mark on the BC Bike Race with style,” he wrote. Cyclists were challenged along this year’s 33-kilometre singletrack route that took

competitors through the Snowden Demonstration Forest trails. Riders spent three days in the city and camped overnight at Robert Ostler Park. It featured international stars as well as Canadian Olympic team member, Victoria’s Andreas Hestler. Martin Ready, a manager with BC Bike Race, was born and

raised in Campbell River and suggested the area to the race organizers. “The amount of trails here is just incredible,” Ready said in October when the BC Bike crew approached city council about hosting the race. “You don’t spend a lot of time on logging roads, it’s a fantastic experience.”

Our 2X14 Water The Addiction of Lawn Watering: Did your lawn OD in June? June was a cooler than normal month in Campbell River. The average high temperature reached a measly 18.7°C, according to Environment Canada, with approximately 40mm Tyler Hamilton of rain. Do you know if you are over watering your lawn? First, take into account how much your lawn is capable of absorbing and using (transpiration) and the amount lost by evaporation (both processes vary by weather conditions). This term is referred to as evapotranspiration (ET), and although it might seem a little extra-terrestrial at first, it’s a straightforward concept, and an excellent tool to measure irrigation needs (see farmwest.com for ET information). For eastern Vancouver Island, the ET is slightly less than one inch per week. The first three weeks of July followed a similar trend. As of July 24, the average high temperature was barely 20°C (normal is 24°C). Nearly two inches (45.8mm) of rain fell with the total ET for the month at 73 mm. Rainfall approached two inches for the second and third week of July, meaning lawns required no additional irrigation. For the ET-based lawn watering method to be effective, water deeply once a week after taking into account evapotranspiration, remembering to subtract rainfall for the previous six days. If your lawn did overdose on water, several treatments and preventive measures are available. Use a rain gauge to measure precipitation and irrigation accurately, and pay attention to how much rainfall occurs during the week. To ensure a healthy lawn, it is also best to raise your lawn mower blade to three inches in height, and ensure soil depth is at least six inches.

CITY OF CR

Weather Fact of the Week After 333 consecutive days without Campbell River reaching 25°C, the streak was broken on July 24. To date, the temperature has been above 25°C for approximately 300 minutes in 2011.

Our View

Good people wanted Halfway through summer, most of us aren’t thinking too much about the fall and this November’s municipal election. But if you’re thinking about We say: Make a running as a candidate, the weeks running out for you to begin difference in your are planning your campaign. community: run Judging by recent elections, most municipalities are in dire need of for office more names on the ballot to spark interest among voters. If you care about where you live and want to make a difference in even one aspect of your community, consider putting your name

forward as a candidate for council, school board or mayor. Qualifications are far from onerous. If you’re 18 or older, a Canadian citizen and have lived in B.C. you’re pretty much OK to run. You’ll need to keep track of election-related expenses and contributions and have at least two people willing to nominate you. There are a few other rules to know if you do get serious about running. It’s also a good idea to understand that life can seem crazy once everyone’s on the campaign trail. Traditionally, municipal election season kicks into full gear after Labour Day. The thinking is that most of us can’t be bothered to ponder the issues

affecting our communities when the weather’s warm and we’re busy planning upcoming holidays or invites to backyard barbecues. We’re a little more willing to do our civic duty and tune into local issues once the kids are back in school and summer vacation is behind us. Make no mistake though, savvy politicians know they’ll have to hit the ground running once we return to the routines that signal September’s arrival. If you’ve ever thought about participating in politics, now is the time to make sure you’re ready when the silly season arrives. —Black Press

Good point: Free means ‘liberated’ not ‘no charge to us’ I, like many others, am someone who is grateful to live in B.C. and to be a citizen of Canada. It is also, a joy, to live in a community that is home to very many generous folks who feel the needs of their less fortunate “neighbors” and freely pour out support in many gracious ways. I have taken pleasure, as I ride about town, from the paucity of little blue signs urging us citizens to vote “Yes” to extinguish the HST. We, all, have access to many privileges, benefits and services provided by our Governments. Someone has to pay for them and that someone is us, the taxpayer. The HST seems, to me, like a fair way to tax the citizens. The ones with the most purchasing power pay the most taxes, it would appear. Many of us citizens also seek ways to avoid paying taxes...and, at the same time, complain about things that cause inconvenience. I am one who will vote “No” to abolishing the HST. I vote to keep it. God keep our land “glorious and free.” Free as in “governed by consent and possessing civil liberties” not that the benefits we receive “have no cost to us.” D. McGillis

HST horror stories fade away as campaign continues

Tom Fletcher B.C. Views

The B.C. government has released its audited public accounts for what Bill Vander Zalm enthusiasts strain to depict as Year One of the Harmonized Sales Tax Apocalypse. So let’s survey this allegedly bleak landscape of shuttered hair salons and seniors hoarding pet food, waiting for Belgian bureaucrats to come calling for more. Retail sales increased 5.3 per cent in 2010. Growth has softened so far this year, but there’s no evidence it’s due to the HST. (Retail sales are mostly goods, which are mostly unaffected.) B.C.’s economy grew by four per cent, third in Canada behind those new northern tigers Saskatchewan and Newfoundland. We beat Alberta as well as have-not Ontario.

The provincial deficit dropped by nearly a billion dollars, even though spending on government services continued its relentless rise with another billion-dollar increase. That’s four per cent spending growth, the same as the growth rate of the economy. But as usual, two thirds of it is health-care spending, growing closer to twice that fast. Hair salons? My barber voted No to Vander Zalm. His accounting is simpler, his price is still reasonable and customers aren’t generally prepared to start cutting their own hair. Restaurant association head Ian Tostenson predicted thousands of restaurants would close because of HST, and then mused about running for premier. Fortunately, we were

spared from both of these scenarios. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon put out some spin about how tight-fisted spending control brought the deficit down from the 10-figure range. Prudence, he called it. Prune juice is more like it. It was economic growth that paid the bills, with mills and mines opening and consumers spending. Former premier Bill Bennett’s observation still applies: B.C. is a small, open resource economy in a volatile world market. Commodity markets have strengthened to the point where even the rising Canadian dollar is being overcome. Expansion to Asia is proceeding, assisted by a long-term federalprovincial strategy that the NDP

opposed. A skilled labour shortage already exists in the B.C. northeast and is forecast to spread across the province. The government’s latest labour market survey estimates that B.C. will be in a labour shortage by 2016, and there will be one million job openings by 2020. One third of these will come from economic growth, two thirds from retiring baby boomers. Unlike next year’s HST revenues, this prediction is relatively easy to make with precision. Job growth does depend, however, on a competitive tax environment, with competition from Ontario and elsewhere. The public accounts also confirm Continued on A9

Campbell river-born woman takes over St. Joe’s LINDSAY CHUNG BLACK PRESS

A woman with Campbell River roots will take over as St. Joseph’s General Hospital’s new president and CEO in September. The Bishop of Victoria and the board of St Joseph’s General Hospital announced Monday that Jane Murphy has been appointed to the position of president and CEO, effective Sept. 1. Murphy is replacing Michael Pontus, who will retire this Friday

after 21 years of service at the hospital. Murphy started her career as a nurse, and she holds a masters degree in Health Services Planning and Administration from UBC. “She brings a wealth of experience,” said Ron Philip, chair of the St. Joseph’s board of directors. Philip says the process for finding a new CEO was an extensive one. It started with a selection committee comprised of the St. Joseph’s Hospital

board of directors, a representative from the Diocese of Victoria and the Vancouver Island Health Authority board chair. A consulting firm helped identify possible candidates, and the candidates who were short-listed were interviewed by the hospital’s medical advisory committee and by senior staff, he explained. “It takes a little longer sometimes, but I think it’s really helped pick the right candidate,” he said. “I think it was pretty well unanimous.

I think the process was very sound, and we’re happy with that. Everyone got a chance to meet the candidate face-to-face.” Murphy has worked extensively in the B.C. health system in senior leadership positions, including chief operating officer/vicepresident of clinical services at Langley Memorial Hospital and vice-president of Strategic Initiatives with the South Fraser Health Region. More recently, Murphy has spent some years in Texas and

has held senior leadership roles at both the Driscoll Children’s Hospital and the CHRISTUS Spohn Hospital in Corpus Christi, Tex. “Murphy was raised in Campbell River and has a long-term commitment and connection to Vancouver Island,” stated a news release from St. Joseph’s. “She is delighted to be returning to the Island and is excited to be able to return to B.C. health care in this challenging leadership opportunity.”

Fletcher: Old sales tax has outlived its usefulness Continued from A8 what we found out last fall, that HST revenues have run ahead of expectations. HST haters like to claim the tax was promised to be revenue neutral. That finance ministry estimate was only for the first year,

Drop us o a line

and it proved pessimistic. As with gasoline prices, external forces drown out B.C. tax adjustments in the short term. Currently it looks as if going back to the old provincial sales tax will cost the treasury about $600 million in

revenue in each of the next few years. HST rate cuts are made up by economic growth. Or we can return to a 60-year-old retail sales tax developed for a post-war, pre-service economy, and continue a B.C. political debate that revolves around

30-year-old socialist ideology. The deficit will immediately jump back up to the 10-digit range. So if your HST referendum envelope is still in the bottom of your recycling bin, you might consider fishing it out and casting a No

last night designed to encourage agricultural production within the city. “Campbell River is well-positioned to dramatically increase the amount and variety of what is currently being grown in the area, representing great potential in an emerging industry sector,” says a report prepared for council by Morgan Ostler, chair of the Agriculture Plan Steer-

ing Committee. “Approximately 5,000 hectares of land have been designated with the city as Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR),” Ostler’s report says. “These lands have favourable climates, soils (overall) and competitive land prices.” Ostler was to present a draft agriculture plan to council last night. The plan represents the culmination of approximately one

year of “visioning and assessment of opportunities, constraints and necessary actions to facilitate significant agricultural production in the community.” The draft preceded by a b a c k g r o u n d report and opportunities report that contains technical and trend analysis and opportunity assessment. Campbell River’s draft sustainable offi-

cial community plan includes a section on the food and agriculture system that supports the agriculture plan in strategic areas such as infrastructure and maintaining and enhancing ag riculture. The draft SOCP also includes land-use policies that support the objectives and directions defined in the agriculture plan, Ostler says.

Stewardship awards overhauled The city’s environmental awards are up for a makeover. T h e t e n - ye a r- o l d awards reco gniz es volunteers for their efforts to improve the health and beauty of Campbell River’s environment. A proposal before council last night would chang e the nomination categories to promote “timeless environmental and conservation initiatives and increase

awareness around current city priority projects,” says a report to council by Amber Zirnhelt, city sustainability manager, Ross Blackwell, land use services manager, and Terri Martin, environmental coordinator. In addition, the proposed theme-based nomination categories may encourage the recognition of many individuals contributing in ways outside of the traditional environmental stewardship arena.

A call for nominations is advertised icy year in August and the awards are printed at the annual Haig-Brown Festival on River’s Day. This year’s celebration takes place on Sunday, Sept. 25 at Haig-Brown House from noon – 4 p.m. the current Stewardship Award categories are: ■ Individual ■ Development, Business and Industry ■ Group ■ Youth Individual

■ Youth Group ■ Special Recognition ■ Water conservation (included in some years only) The proposed new theme-based categories are: ■ Air quality ■ Pesticide free ■ Water/Energy conservation ■ Habitat protection and creation ■ Waste reduction ■ Youth, special recognition ■ Other areas

Another swimmer at risk on the river RENÉE ANDOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A woman is not thankful for the help she received from a Destiny River Adventures rafting tour on the Campbell River on Sunday afternoon. Jamie Turko, trip leader for the rafting tour, and swiftwater specialist with Campbell River Search and Rescue (CRSAR), helped a woman who was separated from her dinghy. But she was unhappy with the way she was helped and complained to the CRSAR. “I actually went out of my way and helped somebody and now she turned around and basically attacked me,” said Turko. Turko was preparing his group for the trip at John Hart generating station, when two women walked by with a small two person rubber dinghy, one PFD, a pump, and no paddles. When they finished pumping the dinghy, one woman walked back to their vehicle with the pump.

Turko finished the safety talk for the tour and the group started down the river. About 15-20 minutes later, and about 600 meters down from the John Hart generating station, the tour group came upon the dinghy upside down and stuck on a small tree. Turko imagined the worst. “I thought this was going to be a body recovery,” said Turko. They then spotted the woman about 100 meters downstream, standing about 20 feet out from the river bank on a fallen tree. Turko had a passenger grab hold of the dinghy and they went downstream to the woman. She was wearing a PFD, but according to Turko, it was ill fitting. Turko asked if she was injured, to which he said she replied “no, I am okay.” She wanted the tour to let her in their raft and take her down to Maple Street. Turko said no and told her to walk downriver via the Canyon View Trail, which they were adja-

cent to. He cited insurance liabilities, having clients on the raft, and that he had made sure she was safe as his reasons for not letting her on board. Supporting herself between her dinghy and the tour raft, the woman safely got to land, but was upset, stating “you’re not just going to leave me,” according to Turko. Turko admits to lecturing her on river safety and giving her “a piece of [his] mind.” He waited until she was up onto the trail before resuming the rafting tour. During June Turko contacted the Mirror to warn the public about safety on the river. Just two days later six youths had a close call with death when their inner tubes got caught in a fallen tree about 300 meters up river from where the woman got separated from her dinghy. “This is not the first [incident] and it won’t be the last,” said Turko. He warns river goers,

For a 90-day period, from today to Oct. 24, 2011, BC Ferries will provide a one-time cash refund to any customer who has an expired assured loading ticket. BC Ferries phased out printed passes for assured loading last year and enforced a two-year expiry that canceled about 15,000 trips that had been paid for.

Managing 4x10 Your Money The ages of insurance – what it means for you. Change can be tough but we live with it every day. We age, our working, personal and family life changes. Our ¿nancial goals and expectations change. And as these things change so does our need for insurance. Here are the types of insurance that make the most sense for each of life’s three main stages. Under 40 As you begin to build your family, insurance should be a simple and economical solution to your emerging needs. You’ll want to protect your family by establishing a source of cash that will pay off your mortgage and other debts should you become unable to do so. You’ll likely want to provide funds for the education of your children. Life insurance pays a lump sum to your bene¿ciaries. Term insurance is often the most affordable kind of life insurance for young families. It pays a speci¿ed amount should you die, but premiums increase with each policy renewal and get very expensive over time. Disability insurance is a must. It provides a regular income stream should you become disabled and unable to work. You may already have some disability insurance as part of your employment bene¿ts package but backing it up with your own personal plan is a good idea. 40 – 60 Your personal and ¿nancial life are maturing and becoming more complex. To keep

Look at changing to a type of permanent insurance coverage that can ful¿ll your estate plan. Whole Life insurance offers a guaranteed amount of coverage for life and, unlike term insurance, the premium never goes up. Disability insurance assumes even more importance and now is the time to also check out Critical Illness insurance. It provides a lump sum payment that you can usually use any way you wish when you are diagnosed with a medical condition covered by the policy, such as heart attack, stroke or cancer. Over 60 You now have different reasons for revising your insurance protection – like using life insurance to pay estate liabilities (the taxes on your registered savings plans, capital gains on real estate and other investments) so your bene¿ciaries can inherit the entire value of your estate free of tax consequences. Universal life and whole life

insurance work well for estate creation and preservation and the investment component can be a source of nonregistered retirement savings. Term insurance isn’t a good option. Most term policies don’t allow renewal after age 75 or 80 and the premiums are prohibitively expensive. The chances of disability rise with age, so check your coverage and consider adding Long-Term Care insurance to protect your loved ones from the ¿nancial burden of a lengthy illness requiring nursing home or home care. Yes, change can be tough. Make it easier with the help of your professional advisor who can tailor your insurance program to every stage of your changing life.

Legacy fund established in memory of Doris Ritchie The Campbell River Art Gallery lost a pillar of the arts community with the passing of Doris Ritchie June 10 — a woman who initiated and built many of the arts

road, and although very beautiful, I thought it focused more on hunting and fishing, and could do with some theatre — opportunities to study art, act and sing and dance.” As a woman of quiet determination, she set out to make those things happen in the fledgling mill town. In her first years here, Ritchie worked part-time as a court recorder, under Roderick Haig-Brown, and later also worked as the Director of School District 72’s night school. This role led her to form the Campbell River Concert Association, to host classical performances in the junior high school gym. Her connection with Laszlo Gati of the Victoria Symphony allowed Ritchie to bring in international musicians to Campbell River. Their visits here, as Ritchie recalled, were “black concerts,” because they circumvented the usual circuit of New York agents. A colleague who served with Ritchie in the Concert Association remarked on her

quiet grace, charm and know-how, which she often preferred to exercise in supporting roles. “Because of Ritchie we brought many big name entertainers to Campbell River,” her friend wrote in an unsigned note in her retirement guestbook. “The Bolshoi Ballet, the Vancouver Symphony and many outstanding soloists. Ritchie seemed to be on a first name basis with every impresario in Canada. Consequently she had great bargaining power.” Ritchie also founded the Campbell River Arts Council during these busy years, and helped start a summer school of art, with workshops instructed by internationally known artists. During her tenure the Council started an annual exhibition for regional artists that will celebrate its 30th anniversary as the Members’ Exhibition at Campbell River Art Gallery in 2012. About six years after her move to Campbell River, Ritchie was widowed. She was 43 and had three children Continued on A29

Wisdom of the drum Back by popular demand (and the preparation of new elk hides) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a Drum Making Workshop at the Museum at Campbell River. Yes, Master Drum Maker Jorge Lewis is offering another opportunity to learn about the spiritual qualities of drums by making one. On Saturday, Aug. 13, from 1-4 p.m., Lewis will guide participants through the creative process of constructing a drum.

to discuss drumming and learn about the construction of drums. Lewis is from the Snuneymuxw nation, a descendent of powerful shamans, mask dancers and chiefs. He has resided in Campbell River for most of his life. T h e f e e fo r t h e workshop is $200 and includes all of the needed hide and materials. Space is limited so call the Museum at 250-287-3103 to reserve your spot.

To drum is to become part of the greater wisdom of the world. Along the way, Lewis will offer teachings about drums, including the respect paid to the animal who has sacrificed itsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hide, stories of how the drum came to the people, usage of the drum and the spiritual connection of drums that continues from ancient times to today. Each participant will create a 14â&#x20AC;? drum for keeping and will have ample oppor tunity

Ritchie: Turned her efforts towards a gallery Continued from A29 to raise. She remarried two years later, to Lorne Ritchie, who shared her passion for painting, music and outdoor pursuits like hiking, skiing and kayaking. Ritchieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to community service never faltered, even in her senior years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to contribute to where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re living,â&#x20AC;? said Doris in an interview with Campbell River Art Gallery staff. In 1976, Ritchie ran for election to the School Board and topped the polls for many years thereafter. That didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop her from continuing to build the arts organizations that make Campbell River a leader in its cultural facilities. The impressive response to locally organized classical performances and an eclectic mix of jazz, dance and other forms of music, led to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s purchase of the aging Van Isle Theatre. Ritchie was invited to serve on a committee to plan for its conversion to a performing arts theatre that was later renamed the Tidemark. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once the theatre was established,â&#x20AC;? wrote Ritchie in biographical notes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the next project in my mind was to have a public art gallery.â&#x20AC;? With the local museum set to move into a new facility in

1994, the Arts Council raised funds to refurbish the museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former quarters in the Centennial Building into a public art gallery. Regional artists like Jeanne Ralston and Gordon James shared Ritchieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision and determination to create a space where local and touring artists could display their work. The Gallery proved an immediate success, growing from 6,000 visitors in its first year to over 20,000 annually today. Ritchie was proud to serve on the Galleryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board during its first years. When she retired from the gallery board in 2001, 40 friends gathered at the gallery to celebrate her many years of community service in the arts. Though sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d retired from administration, Ritchie continued to teach watercolour classes at the gallery until she was well into her 80s. Ritchie was an inspiration to all who knew her and Campbell Riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cultural scene is far the richer for her grace, vision, energy and passion. This fact was recognized by the City of Campbell River in June 2007, when she was honoured with a Community Builder Award. A special fund has been established in Ritchieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory, to create a 30th anniversary publication for the annual Membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Exhibition in April,

2012. The Campbell River Art Gallery and Arts Council, who cohost this exhibition, will pay tribute to Doris in their retrospective book about the local visual arts scene. Donations can

be sent to Campbell River Art Gallery, 1235 Shoppers Row, V9W 2C7 or dropped off at the Gallery, Monday to Saturday, 10-5 p.m. Tax receipts will be issued. Call 250-287-2261 for more details.

Corey takes the pitcher’s mound for Canada C

ampbell River baseball product Corey Wood pitched for Canada in the World Baseball Challenge in Prince George July 8-17. “Definitely for Corey, being on the Canadian Men’s National Baseball Team was a huge honor,” his father, Norm Wood said. Corey relieved in three games at the World Baseball Challenge. The highlight for him was pitching one inning against Cuba. He walked the first batter and then got the next three out. Canada placed fourth in the tournament

with Cuba winning, China Taipei placing

second and Japan third. “It was a great experience to watch the Prince George fans being so proud of the Canadian National Team,” Norm said. “There were many requests for Corey and his teammates to sign baseballs and shirts.” Corey is a graduate of Carihi and played Campbell River Minor Baseball all the way to the age of 17. He played for two years with the Malispina/ VIU Mariners and then moved to Okanagan College Coyotes in 2009. He also has had the privilege of pitching

Since then Corey has turned into a focused pitcher, pitching the last two years to Okanagan College as their #1 starter. In 2011 he was named to the Canadian Collegiate Baseball League

Pee Wee Ravens earn silver at provincials The Subway Pee Wee B Ravens went to Vernon to compete in the BC Provincial Championships July 7-10 and came back with more than just Okanagan cherries and sunburn for souvenirs…they struck silver in them thar hills. The Ravens opened the round-robin segment of the tournament with a nail-biting 7-6 win over Semiahmoo. The game as close as the score suggests, with both teams working the ball around for high quality shots on goal. Semiahmoo was also effective at the late change, floating players behind the Ravens defence. The Ravens team defence was up to the task and they prevailed in the end. Each game included most valuable player awards selected by the opposition coaches, with captain Nolan Fair winning the award for the first game.

Their second game was played at the old Civic Centre against Shuswap. Both teams were scrambling to adjust to the slippery floor conditions. It really was as if they were playing on ice, not concrete. The Ravens took an early lead that they never relinquished while keeping a shutout until the last two minutes of the game. Shuswap was frustrated and kept targeting key Ravens with extra-curricular activities that weren’t noticed by the officials. This was surprising given the pregame discussions with their coaches about how some teams teach their players what others consider to be mean bordering on dirty tactics. Ravens won 5-2; game MVP was awarded to Liam Rivett. The third game was in Armstrong against North Delta. The

Ravens were starting to get acclimatized to the higher altitude, feeling their rhythm and getting their timing down. The ball was moving crisply and the late changes by the opposition were being picked up by players on the floor. The final score reflected the territorial play and ball control, with the Ravens winning by a score of 11-2 and game MVP going to Justin Kennelly. After the game, they made a quick trip to the Westbild arena in Vernon for the opening ceremonies. This was a large event since Vernon was hosting the PeeWee C, B, A-2 and A-1 provincials. Ravens figured prominently during the ceremonies, winning several divisional awards. Liam Rivett won the Fair Play player award, captain Nolan Fair was selected to the all-star team and head coach Todd Fair won the Fair

Play Coaching award. The last item was a significant surprize to some, including Todd. At the conclusion of the opening ceremonies, the Ravens went back to Ar mstrong for a semi-final game against North Shore. Scouts had mentioned that the North Shore goalie was very acrobatic; he made more than 50 saves in a game. He had a decent game but the ball movement and shot selection by the Ravens exposed a few holes in his armour. The Ravens also did a great job of limiting the North Shore snipers to a couple of goals en route to a 7-4 win thereby punching their ticket to the gold medal game. Assistant captain Zachary Lontayao earned game MVP for his work at both ends of the floor. In the finals, the Subway PeeWee B Ravens faced the Coquitlam Adanacs. This match

was predicted as the probable final game at the coaches meeting prior to the start of the tournament. Both teams started cautiously as may be expected. Coquitlam scored the first goal, then the second and third before the Ravens answered with their first. At the first intermission, coach Fair and assistant coach Lontayao focused on a couple of key adjustments and emphasized that this game was far from over. This motivated the Ravens to renew their commitment to defence and rely on their counterattack to get back into the game. U n f o r t u n a t e l y, Coquitlam was successful on a greater percentage of their chances and ultimately won the gold medal with an 8-2 victory. Lukas Lund was selected game MVP in the finals.

“I am extremely proud of each of these players,” head coach Todd Fair said. “They have all sacrificed and contributed to the team’s success. Each of them has grown significantly as a player. The new outdoor lacrosse box allowed us to begin our practices earlier this year than ever before which was reflected in the huge strides the players made in their individual skills, especially first year play-

tightened up on defense and each team traded a few runs over the next four innings. Going into the top of the sixth inning, the Tyees led 7-5 with

Nanaimo’s last attempt stopped by the glove of second baseman Coulsen McCartney who tracked down what appeared to be an uncatchable ball behind second base for the third out.

The team raced onto the field and mobbed the second baseman. Every Tyee player came through with a key hit or play in the win though Jalen Price led the way at the plate with two deep hits
