Lightkeepers to remain at the switch PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The Canadian Coast Guard’s latest attempt to eliminate lighthouse keepers was quashed Wednesday by the federal government. “As long as I’m around, I will always advocate for the retention of lightkeepers,” said North Island MP John Duncan, who also serves as Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs. Duncan specifically asked Fisheries and Oceans Minister Gail Shea – the minister responsible for Coast Guard – to make the announcement in B.C. Lightkeepers in Newfoundland and Labrador will also retain their jobs. “We went through this in 1995… my aspiration is we shouldn’t have to go through this again… (but) one never knows what a new government might do,” said Duncan during a conference call from Ottawa. While Duncan’s comment hinted of a spring election, he placed the blame for the lightkeepers’ destaffing review squarely on Coast Guard brass. Coast Guard executives have tried to get rid of lightkeepers since the early 1970s, and Duncan said they seem to try again and again with every new government and every new Fisheries minister. “Maybe they would learn it’s not on,” he said. That assessment was echoed by Jim Abram, a retired lightkeeper Continued on Page A3

Riverites switching off for Earth Hour

City manager Andy Laidlaw might have to find an alternative way to take in the hockey game Saturday night as the community tries to score big in the annual Earth Hour challenge amongst B.C. municipalities.

Lightkeepers: Important for safety, sovereignty and science Continued from Page 1 and longtime advocate of maintaining manned lightstations. “I think John Duncan’s comments are 100 per cent accurate that this is coming from the Coast Guard brass,” said the former Cape Mudge lightkeeper and longtime area director on the Strathcona Regional District. “That’s where it’s always come from and always will come from in the future.” The decision of the Conservative government to keep lightkeepers follows a report and recommendation from a Senate Standing Committee. The committee visited B.C. coastal lightstations last fall, including the Cape

COURTESY B.C. LIGHTKEEPERS

Mudge Lighthouse on Quadra Island. During their tour, the Senators repeatedly heard that lightkeepers are the “eyes and ears” of the coast, especially in remote areas. “It’s people seeing people,” said committee chair Senator Bill

Rompkey during the November tour. “We’ve fallen in love with technology and we think it’s the answer to everything. “It isn’t. You need people to operate technology.” Duncan said manned lightstations are

important for several reasons. “Lightstations and lightkeepers are an icon,” he said. “They’re important for safety, sovereignty and science. They’re a community liaison and a liaison with government agencies.” There are 27 manned lightstations on the B.C. coast. Coast Guard wants to eliminate the lightkeepers in order to save money, but Duncan didn’t know what the cost is for the keepers at B.C.’s 27 manned lighthouses. The minister also skirted the issue of scoring political points when an election call seems inevitable. “I don’t care what what the timing is, I’m delighted,” he said.

Budget: Same rules in place for budget deliberations Continued from Page 1 Grant before the decision was made to only allow presentations the first two days. “We held open houses for this very such thing. There should at least be a time limit.”

Peter Wipper, legislative services manager, said the financial deliberation meetings which take place March 28-31 follow the same bylaws that are set out for regular council meetings and therefore delega-

tions can be no longer than five minutes. Meanwhile, Andy Laidlaw, city manager, told council staff is currently working on different taxation models for council to consider next week.

Mayor and councillors will also look into making further service cuts at City Hall, increasing utility rates and debate whether or not to accept recent funding requests from community agencies.

Three community leaders in Campbell River will switch off their lights and take extra steps to save electricity for Earth Hour on Saturday between 8:30 and 9:30 pm. The City of Campbell River in conjunction with the Arts Council and Chamber of Commerce are encouraging residents to participate in support of climate change action. Here’s what these community leaders will be doing to celebrate Earth Hour: Campbell River’s City Manager Andy Laidlaw pledges to turn off his lights and reduce heat consumption for Earth Hour, and emphasizes that this annual event will also serve as a time of reflection on how he can reduce his energy consumption year-round. Fewer vehicle trips are also an important goal for the city manager. “Another offshoot of Earth Hour is recognizing the impact

“

a neighbourhood walk that will take us to a couple of our favourite spots for great conversation, shared appetizers and our beeswax candles in tow, to light the way.” In 2009, Campbell River electricity consumption rose by 1.7 per cent during Earth Hour. Last year, residents responded to the cause and conserved two per cent of the electricity load. “We hope the community rises to the challenge again and tops last year’s Vancouver Island top-rated conserver Lantzville, where they reduced electricity use by three per cent,” says Mayor Charlie Cornfield. “If Campbell River aims for a 10 per cent reduction, we will have a chance of being the best energy conservers in the province.” Burns Lake topped the provincial record in 2010 with a seven per cent energy reduction.

MP won’t support Pt. Race Coast Guard cutter to be replaced this spring

Lightkeepers will remain, but the Pt. Race is still out. That’s the message from Vancouver Island North MP John Duncan who announced Wednesday that British Columbia’s 27 manned lightstations will not be destaffed. The MP also spoke Tuesday about the Pt. Race, the 70-foot Coast Guard cutter which serves the area surrounding Campbell

River. Duncan maintained the Pt. Race is old and is part of Coast Guard’s fleet that is “rusting out.” The cutter, along with its sister ship the Pt. Henry (based in Prince Rupert) will be replaced this spring by faster, 47-foot vessels. “The (Pt. Race) is scheduled for replacement (and) we have added more capacity on the B.C. coast,” he stated. “When boats go in for a refit, guess what? They have to be replaced.” But that’s not the opinion of the former captain of the Pt. Race, the local boat builder

who’s worked on the cutter and many others with connections to Coast Guard. “I have been involved in modification and repairs to both the Point Henry and Point Race over their 30 years of service,” wrote Steve Daigle of Daigle Marine and Welding, in a letter. “I believe that neither of these vessels have reached their service lifespan and both are in good condition, mechanically and structurally. “I would be interested to know if the Canadian Coast Guard has any reports by qualified marine personnel stating that these vessels are, in fact, structurally or mechanically unfit for continued service?” Coast Guard did receive a report from

Geoff Sanders, the retired captain of the Point Race. The comprehensive 33-page report compares the 1982-built cutter with the new vessel. “The single operational advantage of the 300B over the (Point Race) is the heavy surf survival/self-righting ability which is a top priority in areas of significant breakers, generated in open, shallow waters, such as the West Coast and NE Queen Charlottes, but is not a factor in other areas,” Sanders wrote in the report’s summary. The Point Race, he noted, is better suited for towing, carries more equipment, has more room for emergency personnel, has a longer range, and

has better stability in rough weather. He also pointed out that replacing the cutter with the new boats would result in a reduction of service. But the decision to replace the two cutters was made in 2009, when the federal Conservative government provided $19.6-million to the Victoria Shipyard to build five new Coast Guard lifeboats. The Point Race is still operating out of the Discovery Marina and Jim Abram suggested supporters do everything they can to keep the cutter in Campbell River. “We need to be fighting for it,” said the retired Quadra Island lightkeeper. “I would blockade that harbour and that new boat shouldn’t come in!”

Baby bottle decay is a major issue in Campbell River and surrounding areas due to a lack of education for expectant families and the lack of fluoride supplementation in our water supply. New parents have to be diligent and avoid giving newborn children bottles with formula, milk or juice to fall asleep with. The sugars in these liquids sit on a baby’s teeth all night feeding the bacteria that create acids leading to tooth decay. Children are at a disadvantage in most of BC as research proves teeth are softer in non-fluoridated communities allowing decay to progress at an alarming rate! Children should see a dentist before their first birthday to assess the erupting baby teeth and ensure baby bottle decay is not an issue.

Litter doesn’t impress newcomer KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Campbell River has fallen into an “unfortunate state of neglect” because of all the “hooligans” who leave their trash along the side of the road, says one fed up resident. Susan Black is sick and tired of having to navigate around all the garbage she sees on a daily basis, comparing Campbell River to India. “When I leave my property I’m always stepping over chip bags, working my way around cigarette butts and banana peels,” says Black. “What comes to mind is my trip to India which is one of the dirtiest con-

Free emergency preparedness seminars Devastating earthquakes in Japan and New Zealand have Vancouver Island residents thinking about their own personal emergency preparedness. To assist residents in getting key information, the Strathcona Regional District Emergency Program and the Campbell River ESS Disaster Services team of volunteers are holding two free seminars on Thursday, March 31. During an emergency, you and your family could be on your own for an extended period of

tinents in the world. But when I saw the condition of the streets here I thought ‘oh I’m back in Delhi.’” Black, who is a resident manager at The Madison apartment complex on Dogwood Street moved to Campbell River about seven months ago and told city council Tuesday night so far she is not impressed. “It (the littering) gives you a sense that you don’t belong, that the city belongs to those who want to ruin it,” says Black. “I want to be proud of this city but when I walk outside I’m not proud anymore.” Black presented council with a slideshow of the garbage she sees

time. As we have seen in the case of the Japan earthquake, the demand for assistance could overwhelm the ability of emergency responders to attend to everyone immediately. In such a case, being personally prepared for an emergency is vital. The emergency preparedness presentation will discuss what to do before, during and after disasters whether caused by nature or man. Presentations will be held on Thursday, March 31 at the following locations and times: ■ Location:

on her one-kilometre trek each day from her home to Strathcona Gardens Recreation Complex. “I’d like you to consider where this might be,” she told council as she flipped through slides depicting pop cans, water bottles, rotten food and even graffiti. “These hooligans who litter should have to clean it up – it builds a sense of community,” says Black. She also suggested the city adopt a program similar to one she saw work successfully in China while teaching English. “If you give yourselves the chance to brainstorm on a solution, you may find you

Black, who lives directly across the street from Carihi, says she approached the school in an attempt to engage its students in a similar program but there was no interest.

Black also suggested block by block competitions to encourage residents to pick up litter on and around their own properties. Coun. Roy Grant suggested Black join the city’s Community Advisory Commission which makes recommendations to council on community beautification. “While I don’t agree we’re in a dilapidated state, there are parts of town that need sprucing up,” he said. “I think the committee needs someone as enthusiastic as yourself.”

Judge denounces ‘the acts of a savage’

PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

MORRISON WEDDING

A man accused of raping and repeated beatings of his common-law wife was denied bail on Monday in provincial court. After hearing details from several police reports, Judge Brian Saunderson called the alleged attacks, “the acts of a savage.” “A n y r e a s o n a b l e member of the public would be appalled if he was released,” the judge stated in deny-

ing bail. Daryl Murray, 40, is charged with sexual assault, four counts of assault, unlawful confinement, uttering threats and mischief. T he charg es stem from incidents alleged to have occurred in Campbell River and the Victoria region. Murray also has previous convictions for assaulting the same woman. According to Crown prosecutor John Boccabella, the woman told police the incidents usually occur follow-

ing drunken- and drugfuelled episodes. When they were living together in Campbell River, police were called to their residence numerous times due to violence. She eventually moved to the Victoria area following an incident on Nov. 13, 2010, when Murray allegedly choked and slapped her, and threatened to kill her if she called police. Murray is accused of committing further violent acts in Victoria, including an alleged rape on Jan. 11.

Authorities had a warrant for Murray’s arrest, but had difficulty tracking him down. At one point, Murray spoke to a police officer by phone and indicated he would turn himself in once he had received a government cheque, but that never happened. He was arrested on Jan. 25, after police spotted him exiting a cold beer and wine store in Victoria. Murray is currently being held at the Vancouver Island Regional Correctional Facil-

ity in Victoria. He appeared by video at Monday’s bail hearing and indicated, through his lawyer, that he was willing to put up a $3,000 cash surety and would reside with his grandmother in Victoria. Defence lawyer Jordan Watt also told the court that the credibility of Murray’s common-law wife would be an issue at trial. But Judge Saunderson refused to grant M u r r ay b a i l a n d ordered him to have no contact with his wife.

arrested again for trafficking. According to federal Crown prosecutor Paul Corbett, police were on patrol when they spotted a suspicious vehicle which was known to them. Chester was a passenger in the vehicle and officers watched as the driver stopped to pick up a pedestrian and then began driving again. About 150 metres down the road, the driver stopped and the pedestrian got out. The man was stopped and found with cocaine. That led officers to pursue and stop the suspect vehicle. “This is a fairly common event in diala-dope operations,” noted Judge Thomas Dohm, at the March 14 sentencing hearing in Campbell River provincial court.

Chester was taken into custody and police began a “bedpan vigil.” Several hours later, Chester passed nine “spitballs” of cocaine which totaled 1.85 grams. His ar rest came shortly after his release from jail on another drug trafficking charge stemming from December 2009. As well, Chester was convicted of drug trafficking earlier in 2009. Chester had originally pleaded not guilty to the latest trafficking charge, but on Monday, changed his plea to guilty. He was sentenced to 12 months jail, but was given credit for the eight months already served. That leaves four months on his sentence. However, Chester has already served two-thirds of the provincial sentence and criminals are typically released after serving two-thirds. His release will be followed by 18-months probation. During probation, Chester cannot possess any electronic communication devices or cell phones. The cell phones and cash seized in the July bust were forfeited to the Crown.

Financial Planning Matters

The beneﬁts of reorganizing your corporation

f you are in business and have your own corporation, you probably know about corporate structures. After all, you chose a corporate structure when you set up your corporation. So once you have your business in a corporation, why would you need to undertake a reorganization? There are some very good reasons.

Income splitting When a corporation is initially set up, it will often have only one shareholder, usually the primary operator of the business. If the operator’s spouse is included as a shareholder for income splitting purposes, the share ownership may not have been set up on a 50/50 basis. As the business becomes successful, the advantage of splitting income with a spouse becomes more attractive. Income splitting can be done by paying a salary, but there are restrictions. For example, a salary has to be for services rendered, and has to be reasonable under the circumstances. Simply issuing new or additional shares to a spouse is also a problem. A successful business will have grown in value, and issuing shares for nominal consideration should not be done without a corporate reorganization that meets certain tax rules. Income splitting can also be done with children. A corporate reorganization can be undertaken, often involving the use of a discretionary family trust that allows dividends to be paid to children

via the family trust, for a more tax-effective method of splitting income.

Capital gains Another reason for a corporate reorganization is to allow the corporation to qualify for the capital gains exemption, particularly if a future sale is being considered. Current tax rules provide for a capital gains exemption to an individual, of up to $750,000 on the sale of certain quali¿ed assets, including the sale of shares of a quali¿ed small business corporation. However, a corporation may have built up passive assets, such as investments, that would cause the shares to not qualify for the exemption. Sometimes the corporation will own its business premises, which may not necessarily be part of an eventual sale. Those are assets that need to be removed without incurring tax. That is not as simple as it sounds. The rules for what quali¿es for a tax-free reorganization are complex, and it can take years to ensure that the particular assets are removed without tax, and to arrange the ownership within the family to allow for other family members, such as a spouse and children, to be able to use the exemption on an eventual sale.

Succession planning When the principals are ready to retire and want to pass on the business, who will step in and take over? Will the business be retained in the

family and passed on to the next generation? Will it be sold to employees or to an outside party? Or will it simply be closed down? These factors have to be considered and, depending on what is going to happen to the business, a corporate reorganization may often be necessary. For example, if the business is to stay in the family, the appropriate transition of ownership is one key consideration. If the business is to be sold, keeping taxes to a minimum will often require tax planning and reorganization.

Final thoughts Corporate tax reorganizations are not something to be done on the back of a paper napkin. Proper planning is essential and should not be left to the last minute. There are ways to undertake a reorganization, but there are also traps in taxation that need to be carefully navigated. That can be done, but often has to be done well in advance. As each business and family is different, seeking the advice of a tax specialist will ensure your planning is tailored to your unique needs.

Drive Smart BC Corrective 2X714Lenses When I worked in traffic law enforcement it was standard procedure for me to scan the rear of every driver’s license that I examined. Often I would find theTYEE restriction 21, corrective lenses CHEV required printed there. If the person was not wearing glasses I would look carefully at their eyes to see if I could see contact lenses. If they were there, I could see them most of the time. When I could not see either glasses or contact lenses it was time to ask and there were usually one of two responses. The first was that they had undergone laser eye surgery and didn’t need them anymore or something along the lines of “I’ve forgotten them.” The onus was now on me, what to do? Is this driver able to see well enough to continue or did I need to intervene. The restriction would not have been placed on the license if there wasn’t a good reason for it. If you have had corrective eye surgery, it is up to you to go to a driver service center and take the necessary steps to have the restriction removed from your license. Failing to do that means that you are leaving your fate at the roadside in the hands of the enforcement officer. You do the same thing having decided to leave your driveway without taking needed glasses or contact lenses with you. The protests were generally quite strong when I ordered the driver off the road until a qualified driver or the necessary lenses arrived. My duty was to protect you from yourself and other drivers from you. Failing to do so would put me in a position of both failure in my duty and of legal liability. The police are not qualified to verify your eyesight at roadside, so please take the corrective lenses restriction seriously.

City wants to study drag strip proposal KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Two Campbell River men who want to build a community multisport park may have to wait up to two months for council to give them the green light. Eric Harper, owner of Harpers Performance Tuning, and his business partner Andy DeRoover want to build a quarter-mile race track to host National Hot Road Association (NHRA) sanctioned events and possibly even NASCAR. “We’re asking the big boys to come in – like NASCAR and Spring racing,” said Harper. The two men presented the concept to

city council Tuesday night, looking for a letter of support from the city in order to secure an option on the property they intend to purchase. Harper and DeRoover say they are already in talks with TimberWest to purchase 1,000 acres of land west of the airport. Andy Laidlaw, city manager, said he had questions about potential land, servicing and traffic issues and would like to meet separately with the two men to get more information. Council agreed there were more questions that needed to be answered before it could lend its support. “I’d like to get confir-

Laidlaw said he could get a report back to council but it likely would not be until early May because of upcoming financial deliberations and the Easter holiday. Laidlaw noted it could be earlier if the the men are able to provide him with the information needed. Harper and DeRoover seem to have done at least a large chunk of their homework, studying the economic benefits the annual Thunder in the Alberni Valley drag race event has on Port Alberni.

brings in on average $9 million the week before and after the event. In Mission, a community similar in size to Campbell River, the raceway generates $4 million for the community each year. Harper believes just one NHRA event could bring 20,000-35,000 into the community and generate between $731,000 and $1.25 million. Harper and DeRoover’s vision is to build a $200 million facility that would include three to four drag race events a year to get drag racers off the street. It would also include a dirt track for BMX/motocross events and a quad track. But that’s not all. In order to be successful Harper believes it would have to encompass the “multi-sport” concept. “We are proposing to build a multi-sport park for the purpose of having multiple revenue streams from several businesses within

the park that will all contribute to maintain a quarter-mile track as it is too costly to sustain just a quarter-mile race track on its own revenue,” said Harper. The men hope to attract families to Campbell River and would like to add an amphitheatre to host concerts and other entertainment, a gocart track and possibly an amusement park. “It is a multi-business venture and our developer is determining what we could put in to the track,” said Harper. “None of this is set in cement, we’d do a study on it and see which would be best for our park.” Harper said the consultant he and DeRoover have hired has designed the Las Vegas and Kentucky Speedway and several amusement parks in the United States.

INTERNAL PARASITES IN DOGS AND CATS

Contributed by: Dr. Nast Campbell River Veterinary Hospital

There are several types of internal parasites that cause problems in dogs and cats. These include roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and tapeworms. Through testing, we’ve found roundworms and tapeworms to be the most common internal parasites in our area. If your pet travels, other parasites, such as heartworm, can also be a problem. Internal parasites can be a minor irritation, an unsightly mess, or a serious problem for both your pet and your family. I’ll give a few details in a minute, but let’s debunk a few myths ﬁrst. Pets don’t pick up intestinal worms, like roundworms, hookworms, or tapeworms from eating horse poop, or cow poop, or deer poop. Dogs don’t pick up intestinal worms from eating cat poop. Roundworms Roundworms are usually transmitted from dog to dog

or cat to cat via infective eggs shed in the feces. Say Fluffy comes across an area of the playground where other dogs have contaminated the ground with fecal material. If Fluffy licks or eats another dog’s feces, or walks through the area, goes home and licks her feet, she has a good chance of ingesting the worm eggs left by other dogs. Once that happens, the eggs grow into adult worms, and then they shed eggs. Where are the eggs? That’s right; now they’re in Fluffy’s own poop. When she poops outside, she’ll leave millions of worm eggs in the back yard to be picked up again (by her or a playmate that comes over to visit), making the infection worse over time and increasing the level of backyard contamination. Guess what? If Fluffy is up on the couch or sleeps on your bed, or licks your face after licking her you-know-what, you can inadvertently ingest some worm eggs. Should this

happen, your health may be at risk. If a growing puppy is infected with a large number of roundworms, the worms can stunt the puppy’s growth, cause serious digestive upsets and result in excessive gas formation. These puppies have a characteristic ‘pot bellied’ appearance. Tapeworms In order to get tapeworms, an intermediate host such as a flea or certain species of rodent, is required. The dog or cat must ingest an infective flea or rodent (or other mammal, depending on the tapeworm species) to get infected. In other words, your dog or cat cannot get tapeworms directly from another dog or a cat. Depending on the tapeworm species, they can have virtually no clinical significance to the health of your pet or they can be a serious danger to you personally. Year round flea control is recommended. In March of 2009, a Canadian panel of parasitology experts got together. They analyzed data specific to Canada and made the following recommendations: Pets need to be dewormed and have a stool sample analyzed at least every 3 months if any of the following apply: the pet is a hunter, or comes from a household with young children, or if the household has someone with a compromised immune system, or if there are multiple pets in the house. Pets that don’t meet these criteria still need to be dewormed and have a stool sample analyzed every 6 months (yes, even if they are strictly indoors, as you can bring worm eggs into the house on your shoes).

Our View

Your budget input is needed Don’t complain if you don’t vote. That’s how the old saying goes. But it can be adapted somewhat to the the city’s budget process. If you don’t try to provide some input, then you might We say: At least be circumventing your right to if you participate complain too. City council is currently in the then you can throes of hashing out a budget complain later for 2011. It’s not an easy process when you have not only a cranky electorate but also a declining revenue stream. Sacrifices will be made and you have a right to

provide input on the choices. You can be cynical and say that city councillors are just going to do what they want anyway but that would be selling short a group of people who have dedicated a good part of their life for the betterment of their community. So trust they’ll do the right thing and at least listen to reasonable proposals put forward reasonably. And that last part is important. So often what passes for debate these days is aggressive spite and not wellreasoned passion. Your contributions will go farther if they’re wellthought-out and delivered civilly. This applies in

public hearings and other public debates as well. So, on Monday and Tuesday you have an opportunity to speak to council about budget priorities. Take that opportunity and then feel good about contributing to your community. These are difficult days for Campbell River and good ideas are needed. Councillors aren’t they only ones with useful contributions to make – you can as well. The thing about ideas is that the more that are put out the better the final decision will be. You know you have a good idea, don’t keep it to yourself. And, if you don’t provide input, don’t complain about the choices that were made without you.

Good point: Waste With threats from City Hall bouncing all over the community regarding a tax shortfall, let’s put a few things into perspective. City Hall chose to proceed with the airport extension and terminal upgrade at a cost of $8.3 million. It chose to proceed with the Highway 19A upgrade – a $13.5 million dollar upgrade – and stepped up to bail a sports club out of debt to the tune of $100,000. The hard questions are, is Westjet landing at the Campbell River Airport? The simple answer is, no. Will the beautification of Highway 19A do anything to reduce taxes or bring new income generating enterprises to Campbell River? The simple answer is no. The $100,000 bailout would have reduced the taxes on 1,000 residential properties by $100 each rather than the $200 increase they are potentially facing. City Hall has to get a grip and must start managing our money within the revenue stream. The wishful pretence that things will get better is not in the cards. Our most ungracious corporate citizen, Catalyst, must be held accountable for the economic blackmail they have held this community to. The city must be prepared to have Catalyst post monies in trust until such time as their operations site has been proven environmentally sound. This could cost millions and the spectre of the city being left holding the bag is a definite possibility. Ray Fortier Campbell River

Contemplating the important issues of our day

Alistair Taylor Out On A Limb

Who says things don’t change? Our fair province now has a young woman with a sparkling-personality in its highest elected office – except she wasn’t elected to the office, at least not by you and me. Only BC Liberal Party members were allowed to elect her. But that’s okay, its how the system works. It’s only temporary as our governing party transitions from one leader to the next. Christy Clark will run for a seat in a byelection...soon. There, you see, no need to worry about democracy in our province. Besides a bubbly personality, our new leader also advocates a cheerful, family-first philosophy which, coming from a right-wing party, you know is just window-dressing. Families of corporate executives perhaps.

Although Clark, a working mother (not single, but working, like many of you) doesn’t come from that class in our society. So she’ll be there ensuring legislation that benefits families rules the day. Bet on it. How long do you think it will be before that priority is abandoned in favour of the Liberal Party’s usual financial backers. And when – when? – is the BC Liberal Party going to change their name to reflect their true political stripes? Probably never, right? It’s one of my biggest gripes about B.C. politics – the Liberal Party that is anything but liberal. But they’ve got a woman at their helm for the second time. Christie Clark is no Rita Johnson, though; presiding over a party in shambles,

discredited and unpopular. Well, okay Clark is in charge of a party in shambles, discredited and unpopular but, luckily, she’s facing an opposition in shambles, discredited and unpopular. Oh, what a province we live in. Why can’t we be in Alberta where we have a choice between the Conservatives and, well, nothing else. Who needs a choice? It just complicates things. Here we can choose between Mrs. Christy’s family-baked policy cookies and the Backstabbers. Yes, the Et Tu Brute? Party has transitioned nice and orderly from its previous leader, a nice woman who seemed to me to have all the electable attributes you’d want: an admirable personal journey, wellspoken and professional. But no

that’s not good enough for a pack of dissidents. What do they want? The bald eagle Mike Farnworth? That’s what they’re going to get if polls are anything to go by. He’s apparently the front runner in the NDP leadership race, ahead of Adrian Dix who gives copy editors the cold sweats and inflames the right. If the NDP dissidents – which included our very own MLA Clare Trevena – wanted somebody more dynamic than Carole James, it doesn’t look like they’re going to get it. Although Mike wants B.C. to get tough with Ottawa. No perennial West Coast doormat, he promises. Fightin’ Farnworth. How can you refuse that? Alistair Taylor is editor of the Campbell River Mirror.

Don’t play politics with BC Hydro R

ich Coleman is B.C.’s fourth energy minister in the past year, which is as good a measure as any of the political storm that has rocked the government. On only his second day on the job, Coleman was already showing why Premier Christy Clark calls him a “tough guy” who can stare down the big-spending BC Hydro. Clark is, of course, concerned that it may not be “good for families” if Hydro rates go up 50 per cent in the next five years. The city media made a big story out of how Coleman is considering pulling the plug on the smart meter program or some other expensive project like the Ruskin dam overhaul. Interim NDP leader Dawn Black is demanding that the new premier “tackle skyrocketing Hydro rates” now that she’s eliminated poverty by

It could be delayed to give Coleman and Clark a short-term political boost, if they want to gamble on a deadly dam failure. The resulting inland tsunami would have B.C. featured on CNN for a couple of weeks. Delaying this longoverdue work further will also certainly push the cost over $1 billion. Coleman could rein in BC Hydro without directly risking lives by delaying smart meter installation. But as described last week, this project is also unavoidable, and delay can only lead to bigger costs and rate hikes. Coleman could possibly reduce the rate impact via privatization. According to BC Hydro’s most radical union, COPE local 378, this is imminent, as the utility’s contract with Accenture expires in 2013. COPE produced the infamous “Gordon Campbell wants to kill

your grandma!” ad campaign for the 2009 election, and its penchant for overstatement continues. It issued a news release last week warning of the “possible breakup” of BC Hydro in outsourcing agreements as much as three times the size of the Accenture deal. (In 2003 BC Hydro contracted with Accenture to provide customer service, finance, information technology and other back-office functions.) A BC Hydro spokesman advises me that no, the utility is not considering breaking itself up into three entities, or greatly expanding its outsourcing. The next time you hear about a quick solution for rising electricity rates, take it with a grain of salt. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com.

They come into the shallow water when daylight breaks and they spend the day close to the shore, as soon as dusk approaches they head out to the safety of the open water for the night. Arriving in early March in large numbers brant geese can be seen along the east coast of Vancouver Island, their arrival coincides with the herring spawn. This high protein rich food supplements their diet providing them with extra fat reserves. For the past 18 years a festival has been held in the ParksvilleQualicum area to celebrate the brants’ return; at the peak of the stop over there can be as many as 20,000 geese. This year’s festival runs from March 5 – April 19.

Ladies and gents...the Rolling Stones experience T

he Rolling Stones are often referred to as the world’s #1 Rock’n’Roll band maintaining their position as one of the top drawing concert attractions for over 40

years. Front man Mick Jagger is the third most recognizable single entertainer on the planet next to Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson. Together with

songwriting partner Keith Richards, Jagger forged a career in the mid-sixties as the Rolling Stones - the two “bad Boys” of rock’n’roll had an image as “troublemakers” in contrast to the

Beatles loveable “Moptop” image. Jagger’s frequent conflicts with authorities and high-profile marriages continually kept the band in the headlines. Throughout it all,

the Stones remained just outside the realm of reality and understanding. Mick’s biographer, Christopher Andersen, once stated, this guy is what the Italians call a menefreghista... “One who simply doesn’t give a ----.” Satisfaction - The Rolling Stones Experience, now in its seventh year of production with over 1,200 performances under their belt, is an unbelievably authentic recreation of the look

and sound of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and the world’s most popular touring band presenting convincing renditions of all the Rolling Stones’ classic hits. They will be playing the Paramount Music Hall in Campbell River at 8 p.m. on April 14. Tickets are $20. In 2005, Satisfaction joined the cast of Legends in Concert as the first Rolling Stones act ever on the Las Vegas strip and in 2007 CBS Sunday Morning

News produced a segment proclaiming the group as the “next best thing to The Rolling Stones.” The current cast members include Chris LeGrand as Mick Jagger (Lead vocalist)… Jim Riddick as Keith Richards (Guitar & vocals)… James Hubay as Ron Wood (Guitar)… Jon Cody Pappas as Bill Wyman (Bass & vocals) and Wade Fowler as Charlie Watts (Drums & Percussion).

Campbell River Living Land that summer job with Foodsafe training for teens

Support for kids marches forward “ C KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

ampbell River Rotary Club is doing something a little different this year with funds raised at the March for Children. Typically, money collected at the annual fundraiser went to the maternity department at Campbell River Hospital but this year funds are going towards new equipment for the operating room and day surgery department. “An average of three to five children go through surgery in the Campbell River Hospital Operating Room each week,” said Stacey Marsh, executive director of

THEY SAID IT: “An aver-

age of 3-5 children go through surgery...each week.”

the Campbell River Hospital Foundation. “So it’s still going to help children but in a different sense this year.” The Rotary Club’s donation of $12,000 will help provide the hospital with $135,000 worth of new equipment including an operating bed, warming cabinets to heat IV solutions and blankets – for comfort after surgery – and a washer

sterilizer. Both the daybreak and noon hour Rotary clubs collected donations from the public at various shopping mall parking lots the weekend before Christmas. “We stood out there with our buckets and if people wanted to, they could throw their change in.” said Sterling Campbell, president of the Rotary Club. When the March began in Campbell River in 1954, all funds went to the B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver until 1994 when Rotarians decided the money should stay in the community. Since then, it has provided the hospital with more than $250,000.

From left, Rotarians Dave Proctor, Patricia Gagnon, Stacey Marsh, Sterling Campbell and Myra Egan, operating room clinical co-ordinator at the hospital, are thrilled with the new operating bed that will be coming to Campbell River Hospital thanks to funds raised by the two local Rotary clubs.

Teens, want money? It’s time to get serious about landing your summer job and the Foodsafe Level 1 course could be just the fix you need to round out your skills. Foodsafe Level I on your resume will impress an employer wishing to hire a bus person, server, dishwasher or cook. Even recreation leaders preparing food for programs need this course. Foodsafe Level I will be held on Saturday, April 2, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Community Centre. Registration is $55. For more details about these programs or

James Arthur Burnard James Arthur Burnard was born Dec. 11, 1928 to Constance and Percy Burnard of Edmonton, Alberta. In 1932 the family moved to Vancouver/Burnaby where Jim participated in boxing, rugby and distance running, coming 2nd in the Seattle marathon (an accomplishment he neglected to mention to his family until 2010). Jim discovered his love of the outdoors early on - an enjoyment that continued throughout his life. While picking fruit in the Okanagan Jim met his wife and lifelong partner, Winnifred Joan Marshall. He attended UBC before accepting a job with Crown Zellerbach Ltd. in Ocean Falls. Never one to let a little rain dampen his spirits, Jim spent many happy years in Ocean Falls. In addition to making paper for CZ, Jim (assisted by Joan) produced 3 daughters. The young family spent blissful summers exploring the central coast aboard the BonnyAnn. In 1966 Jim transferred to Campbell River and worked as a foreman on the Elk Falls paper machines until he retired in 1986. Retirement brought much travel. Introduced to the ďŹ ner points of Tyee ďŹ shing by his good friend Norm Lee, Jim became a regular on the Tyee Pool, his wife Joan his most faithful rod partner. Jim was an avid reader, a lover of jazz, and a staunch environmentalist. Jim passed away March 17, 2011. He is survived by his wife Joan, 3 daughters: Linda Hogarth (Chris), Jennifer Houg (Gary) and Patricia Langdon (Tom), 2 sisters: Joan Hodgkinson and Gwen Duffy, and 6 grandchildren: Ryan, David, Derek, Carly, Keith, and Robert. A open-house gathering will be held at Passages Resort on Saratoga Beach (8914 Clarkson Drive) Sunday, March 27 from 1 to 3. Please join family and friends to share stories and memories of Jim.

Meredith GarĂ&#x201E;eld (Jim) Haigh August 22, 1910 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; March 17, 2011

Opal Russell December 29, 1920 - March 21, 2011 Opal Mary Ann Russell (Underhill) passed away peacefully at the Campbell River Hospital, Campbell River, BC on Monday, March 21, 2011, the ďŹ rst day of Spring at the age of 90. Born on December 29, 1920 in Campbellton, NB, she was the daughter of the late Hilda and John (Jack) Underhill. She will be dearly missed by her daughter, Cheryl Fletcher of Victoria, BC, her son, Robert Russell (Nancy) of Moncton, NB, and grandchildren Matthew and Nicholas Fletcher of Victoria and Steven Russell of La Baie, PQ. She is also survived by her brother, Glenn Garrish (Betty) of Miramichi and sister-in-law Mildred Underhill of Moncton, NB. She was predeceased by her loving husband, Ernest (Scotty) Russell, with whom she shared her life for 61 years. She is also predeceased by her brothers, Hubert (Hub) of Campbellton, NB, Grant Underhill of Campbellton, NB and Karl Underhill of Moncton, NB, as well as grandsons Justin Scott Russell and Devon James Russell of Campbell River, BC. She was recently predeceased by her close friend and neighbour, Simeon Driscoll. Thank you to Brandi DeBelserLittle, Darlene Boise, and Dr. Kerry Baerg for your loving care. Opal's life took her from Campbellton, NB to Campbell River, BC in 1966, when she and Scotty ventured to the West Coast to raise their family. Most of her working career was in the Reforestation - Gordon Road Facility mentoring students and planting seedlings for reforestation in BC. She continued her friendship with long-time co-worker and friend, Carol Stevens, into her retirement. Opal loved camping, (but not boating) and spent many weekends travelling with her family around Vancouver Island. Her favorite campsite was Ralph River. In their retirement, she and Scotty enjoyed many trips to Mexico in their motor home, meeting up with friends and spending winters on the beach. Opal had a love of crafting, decorating, knitting for her family and others, and was an avid gardener. She enjoyed the sport of curling and had a great love of books, reading into her ďŹ nal years with the joy and clarity of a much younger person. At Opal's request, there will be no service; however, to honour Opal's memory the family would ask that you perform an act of kindness or make a donation to a worthy cause in her memory. Remember her by taking a walk along the beautiful ocean, because that is how she started each morning, with a view of the ocean and her cup of coffee. When walking along the Seawalk, stop and rest on "Scotty's Bench" near the owl at Rotary Beach and think of her. When purchasing groceries at Thifty Foods, buy one of the pre-bagged "gifts" for the foodbank, as she so often did. Plant a tree, nurture a garden or show kindness to a child, because these are the things that will remind you of her. Opal always had a cheerful, upbeat and positive outlook, and always saw the humour in everything. For that she will be truly missed Donations may also be made to the Alzheimer's Society, Heart and Stroke Foundation, Children's Hospital of Vancouver, the local food bank, or the Diabetes Society, as these were all organizations that were close to her heart

GERALDINE LOUISE GRABER, PhD, passed away peacefully on March 22, 2011 at age 73 in Campbell River, BC. She is survived by her sisters Regina Devlin and Patricia (John) Harding, brothers Al (Helen) Graber and Jack (Colleen) Graber. She is also mourned by the son of her heart Batholomew Mokuh and his son, born early, on March 4th Gerry Graber Che, her extended family and friends. Since she was a little girl Geraldineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Gerri) life was deďŹ ned by an abiding love of God, a devotion that eventually found its home and active expression in the BahĂĄâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ă Faith. Gerri will be remembered for her vast knowledge of theology, her charity work in Africa and her passionate love for teaching. The girl who attended St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Elementary and High School in Vancouver became a member of the Order of St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Convent at age 16 and taught in Ontario, Alberta and BC schools. Upon leaving the Convent, Gerri obtained an Undergraduate degree at UBC and a Doctorate at Oregon State University. She later taught at Oregon State and Eastern Washington Universities. She joined the BahĂĄâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ă community in 1974. Amongst her many achievements one that stands out happened after her retirement. In Powell River, BC, Gerri founded the Willing Hearts International Society, Canada. That work and her love of teaching lead to several years of volunteering at schools in Chad and Cameroon, Africa. Her most recent work included volunteering at the Community Justice Centre, Courtenay, BC and acting as educational advisor to schools in India. Gerri lived her life with gusto, with joy and love, with great certitude in her faith, showing to us all that devotion and service to God and a vivacious love of life are not mutually exclusive. Gerri has gone home. She is where she has her whole life prepared herself to be, with God. The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude for the wonderfully kind and caring professional services provided to Geraldine, the Doctors Veerapen, Kask, and Jordan, the Home Care Nurses, Home Support Nurses and Attendants, the Hospice Society, Pharmacists and Staff at the Campbell River Hospital, and the Paramedics. A Funeral Service to celebrate Gerriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held on Saturday, March 26th, 2011 at 2:30 p.m. at Suttonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Campbell River Funeral Home, 502 South Dogwood Street, Campbell River, BC. A Reception will follow the Service. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers donations may be made to the Campbell River Hospital, the Campbell River Hospice Society, or the charity of your choice.

Multicultural lunch for Japan: 11:45 a.m. to 2 p.m. (times to be confirmed) at the Campbell River Community Centre Gym 1. Local residents wish to raise money for Japan and the Campbell River Multicultural Association is pleased to assist. Members, friends, volunteers and businesses are coming together to make it happen. The idea is that, with some donations, volunteers will provide Campbell River with the opportunity to purchase a multicultural lunch (eat in or takeout) and all proceeds will be donated to the efforts to help Japan. At this time, we have booked the date and the place, and will confirm the other details. If you wish to be involved – volunteer, donate, or book a large group to come –- we are open to ideas as well.

Looking good takes a lot of sacrifice KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Standing before judges and an audience, while wearing next to nothing, is something Candice Martel thought she could never do. But now she has the confidence to see how she measures up against women from around the province. Martel and Amanda Chapdelaine are competitors in bodybuilding championships, but it’s not what you might expect. The Campbell River pair slip into tiny bikinis and high heels, and are judged on their muscle tone, conditioning and the symmetry of their body. “I basically stand there like a robot,” said Martel. Chapdelaine also takes part in a fitness portion where she must choreograph a one-anda-half-minute routine that includes flips, the splits and incorporates flexibility, strength and endurance. “I’ve always worked out and I wanted to challenge myself,” said Chapdelaine. “The challenge was what got me into it. I didn’t want

to do bodybuilding and I liked the fitness better than the bikini round.” Martel has also been involved in fitness for a long time. She’s worked as a personal trainer and taught aerobics. “I’ve always wanted to do a figure show, as a goal to work towards,” said Martel. “And I wanted to overcome my fear of standing naked on stage.” Both women are now training for the bodybuilding provincials on July 16 in the Lower Mainland. They qualified at the Sandra Wickham Fall Classic last November. Chapdelaine placed first for fitness in her height class but also took the top spot over all, earning herself a permanent spot in all future provincials. Martel was third in figure in her height group. Neither of the two had ever competed at the provincial level before and both are overjoyed to have made the cut. “I was happy with the win and happy to be going to provincials but I’ve got a lot of work to do to get there,” said Chapdelaine. “The

work never ends.” The road to provincials will not be easy. They have to follow a strict training and nutrition regimen. Sixteen weeks before the show, both eat six small meals a day that combine protein and carbs. They can only eat such things as chicken, egg whites, turkey, nuts and vegetables. Martel make sacrifices, such as giving up foods she enjoys and alcohol. “It’s tough when you go out with your friends and everyone’s sharing a plate of nachos or having a glass of wine,” she said. “It’s really a lifestyle change.” But she does enjoy the self-discipline. Martel goes to the gym five days a week for cardio, weight lifting and pilates. Chapdelaine also works out at the gym five to six days a week and does gymnastics two to three days a week to practice her tumbling. Both women want to end up with a pro card, which would allow them to compete anywhere in the world and win cash prizes.

This past weekend Mt. Washington was host to the provincial championships for K1 ski racing. And the local team came out as the strongest team in the province. T his hug e event hosted more than 160 ski racers. Three days of racing with 10 different courses demanded the work of hundreds of volunteers. “We could not have put on such a huge event without the time put in by volunteers. A big thanks goes out to the Marmots,” says Steve Frame, president of the race club. The paramount effort was worth it as the Mt. Washington racers reaped the benefits of all their hours of training.
