Stairs pose a tough hurdle for senior It’s just five steps. Just a leap and a bound for a teenager. Or just a short climb hardly worth thinking about for an able-bodied adult. But it’s a steep ascent on concrete for 67-year-old Joyce Stewart. With one hand holding her walker and the other gripping the steel railing, Stewart makes a slow, teetering climb up the entrance way to the Cedar Place apartments at 329 Cedar St. “All I want is a ramp…build me a ramp and I’ll be satisfied,” she says, back inside her tidy twobedroom apartment. Stewart is proudly independent and has lived in her apartment since 1999. But she suffers from osteoarthritis and a partial club foot which limits her mobility. She still enjoys walking and exercises with light weights, but

her mobility – especially going up and down stairs – isn’t likely to improve. And that’s why she asked the landlord for the ramp. “He refused – told me it was too expensive,” she says. Phone calls to landlord Alan Oakley were not returned prior to the Mirror’s deadline and he’s under no obligation to build a ramp. There’s no municipal bylaw or provincial requirement for him to do so. The three-storey apartment is an older building, but appears well-maintained and was built to code back in the day; new rental units are required to offer accessibility for people with disabilities. Cedar Place is not unlike many older apartment complexes in the city that have nothing but stairs, and that’s becoming a concern, especially with an aging population. “We can write a letter to the landlord…and we’re considering making a recommendation to the mayor and council,” says Judy Ridgway, a member of the Campbell River Access Awareness Committee. But the committee has no power to enact change. They can only advise and advocate on behalf of people with disabilities. While there is no municipal bylaw to provide accessibility to older rental complexes, Mayor Charlie Cornfield did sign a proclamation last year to promote Access Awareness Day which reads, in part: Continued on Page A3

Climbing five steep steps to her apartment complex is a tough go for Joyce Stewart, 67, who’s been told by the landlord that he won’t be building her a ramp.

BCTF boss: Government grinding down teachers KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

School board trustee Daryl Hagen couldn’t sleep after making several cuts to the school district’s budget, he told Susan Lambert, president of the BC Teachers Federation (BCTF), during her visit to Campbell River Wednesday afternoon. “Here we all are trying to do what’s best for the kids and we had to cut everything,” said Hagen. “From administration, right on down.” School District 72 is facing a $1.1 million deficit, largely due to rising pension costs, increasing fuel and hydro costs and a loss of $300,000 in special needs funding from the provincial government. Lambert, who met with a small group of trustees and teach-

Susan Lambert, president of the BC Teachers Association, met with a group of six school board trustees and teachers on Wednesday afternoon to discuss the school district’s budget challenges and exhausted teachers.

ers at the Campbell River District Teachers Association office, said school districts should not be put in a position of cutting services in

order to balance their budgets, especially when the province is spending money elsewhere. “When you’re cut-

ting $1 million out of your budget, it’s huge. T h e r e ’s r a m i f i c a tions,” said Lambert. “The province found money for the Olympics, it found money for twinning the Port Mann Bridge – I don’t buy there isn’t enough funding. They looked for savings in public education. In my mind, that’s an important service. If you can provide that, you don’t have health burdens, you don’t have criminal justice burdens. It makes sense to invest in public education.” A lack of funding for Campbell River area schools forced the board of education to cut back slightly on teachers at secondary and middle schools, reduce special education staffing, and cut back on library and leadership program supplies and services.

Trustees also chose to use $188,500 from its savings account, which leaves the reserves with $650,000. The budget is expected to be adopted by the board at its May 17 meeting, with $841,000 in cuts. Unfortunately, staff cuts are an all-too common theme around the province and students are suffering because of it, said Lambert. “I go around and see teachers are exhausted by October and they’re not giving kids that energy because they have nothing to give. They’re grinding down the occupation,” she said. “Teachers are stretched so thin and at this point, their workloads are so outrageous that they are reducing the amount of assignments in order to buy prep time. The job is too exhausting.” Maybe most alarm-

“Access is about removing structural barriers to participation both in physical accessibility…and about inclusion…” Advocacy is also one of the roles of the Island Jade Society whose motto is “Helping those in crisis, on North Vancouver Island.” Executive director Sian Thompson says Island Jade can certainly support Stewart’s request for a ramp, but there are other issues to con-

sider. “Joyce’s building is not strata…and the problem becomes one of liability for the landlord in addition to cost,” says Thompson. “By altering a structural feature of the property the landlord would become responsible for maintaining it and if anyone was injured the landlord would be liable.” The obvious remedy is for Stewart to move, but to do so would result in her paying a few hundred dollars more a month for a similar two-bedroom

apartment. She can’t afford to do that on a fixed income and doesn’t want to move from a home she thoroughly enjoys. “I know every nook and cranny in here, and I’m happy,” says Stewart, who points out that a ramp would also assist the young mothers in the 16-unit complex who are pushing baby strollers or other seniors looking for a nice place to rent. “It’s not just for me,” she adds. But her sense of frustration is grow-

She’s also filed a complaint with the B.C. Human Rights Commission, but it’s still undecided if they will even hear her complaint. “ I s t a n d u p fo r myself...and I won’t move.

personality but it’s crunched within two to three years,” he said. “People don’t know it, but teachers are dying.” Lambert said the Liberal government has been taking education, and teachers, for granted and needs to prescribe a funding formula so that every child has access to necessary services, such as school counsellors, librarians, special education workers, and music teachers.

ing as she runs out of options. Stewart has a page-long list of politicians, community service organizations and public agencies she’s contacted, but none have offered any help. She also began filling out an application from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation which offers financial assistance for renovations which improve accessibility. However, she says, the landlord declined to fill out his portion of the application, so it remains in limbo. Stewart finds it dif-

ingly is the amount of people giving up on the profession because they find it too demanding. “There’s an enormous amount of young people going into the profession who are quitting within the first five years,” said Lambert.

The first modular classroom arrived in Campbell River this week, in preparation for all day-kindergarten which begins this fall. École Willow Point E l e m e n t a r y, w i t h nearly two-thirds of its students in kindergarten to Grade 3, is the first Campbell River school to receive one of the 140 modular classrooms the province is building to accommodate the 40,000 stu-

tables, modular classrooms have high windows to allow for lots of natural light and cross-ventilation and have the same lifespan as a standard classroom. They also have their own washrooms. In addition to the modular classrooms, the province has spent more than $980,000 for a two-classroom addition at Ripple Rock Elementary and about $30,000 to convert two elementary classrooms for kindergarten use. The full-day kindergarten program is available for every eligible five-year-old starting school in 2011. It is a play-based learning program aimed to help students build a strong foundation for success in school.

City budget made official, with surplus for 2011 KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Two and half months after hammering out the city’s 2011 budget, city council made it official. Councillors adopted the five-year financial plan at Tuesday night’s council meeting. The budget passed with a $275,615 surplus for this year thanks in part to a tax levy error by the Strathcona Regional District, which injected $305,000 into the budget, new construction revenue of $339,392 and a 2009 budget sur plus of $138,768. Council began the budget development process with a $1.87

million deficit but made $3.6 million in cuts, which included reducing operating expenses, to help balance the books. It also opted for a four per cent increase in residential taxation and a .5 per cent business tax increase. Coun. Mary Storry said she was satisfied the reductions council made were largely centred around the operations at City Hall and will not affect residents’ quality of life. “All of council heard from the public in different ways and the message seemed to be that the public was not prepared to lose any services,” said Storry. “I’m pleased the cuts

haven’t resulted in any lost services. Certainly it would have been easy to say we want a one per cent tax increase this year and leave problems for next year’s council.” Coun. Claire M o g l o ve p o i n t e d out this year’s $200 increase to the Home Owner Grant program for people in northern and rural communities, will mean most residents won’t even see an increase in city property taxes. “It means the four per cent will be completely offset by the increase in the home owner’s grant, which I’m sure will be something residents of

Campbell River will be pleased to hear,” said Moglove. “It should provide considerable ease to Campbell River homeowners.” Council also pulled money from reserve

accounts to cover the costs of a variety of community organizations’ projects and city improvements. Coun. Andy Adams warned that practice may have worked for

the short-term, but council needs to come up with a long-term strategy. “Continual draws on accumulated surplus reserves are not sustainable and will

need to be added to in future years’ budgets,” said Adams. “We want to ensure future council’s are in a much better position than we were in the last few years.”

Election signs like litter KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Just out of the shadow of a federal election, and with a municipal election looming and a fall provincial election likely on the horizon, Coun. Andy Adams is concerned election signs

4x3

KC-1 TRANE P/U AD

will mar the city’s beauty. Adams noted that days after last week’s election came to a close, signs with candidates’ names splashed across them could still be seen scattered across the city. Signs in certain locations, such as among the daffodils surrounding the Welcome to Campbell River sign and strategically placed along the water, are taking away from the city’s natural beauty, said Adams. “When I read in a local paper the column No, Really: Election signs are like flowers, but without the beauty, I couldn’t agree more,”

Adams told council at last week’s Tuesday meeting. “ I’d like to look into some sort of bylaw to protect our waterfront from being littered with signs as it was in the last municipal election, which was an embarrassment to our community.” Adams asked city staff to look into the possibility of restricting election signs in certain areas of public property and report back to council. The Supreme Court of Canada determined in 1993 that a city cannot ban election signs from all public property as it would

infringe on freedom of expression. Adams said he is aware of the legislation but hopes the city can work within the ruling to set some of its own parametres. “I don’t want to take up a lot of staff time with this,” said Adams. “I just want to see if anything of this nature would be possible. It would be nice to have a little bit better environment than what we’ve become accustomed to in past elections.” Election signs put up by property owners on their own lawn, in support of candidates, would not be affected.

Heritage status sought MINING for Willow Point fixture 2X3

MINING WEEK Builds Communities ACKLANDS GRAINGER

KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The Willow Point Lions Club would like to see its home base go down in history, but it needs the community’s help to get there. A group of Lions, headed by Tom McKenzie, want the Willow Point Community Hall put on the City of Campbell River’s Community Heritage Register, which was created in 2008. Currently the Sybil Andrews Cottage in

Willow Point is the only site on the register, but McKenzie is hoping the Willow Point Hall will be the second. “We want to keep it as the Willow Point Hall and protect it for the public,” said McKenzie. “I’ve been contemplating doing this for 10 years now.” In order to get on the city’s heritage register, the Willow Point Hall needs a Statement of Significance, which explains why the property has heritage value or character.

“It’s not the hall itself that is important, it’s the value it has to the community that is considered,” said Michele Sirett, the city’s recreation and culture supervisor. “It’s the tangible pieces that tell that story.” McKenzie is hoping people will come forward with their stories and their memories of the old hall. He knows that since it first opened its doors in 1940, there have been numerous weddings, receptions, banquets,

political rallies and even church services. “I think half the people in this town got married there,” joked Sirett. The hall, which is owned by the Willow Point Lions Club, is routinely used for various community events, Lions Club meetings, dances, weddings and holds the Campbell River Centre for Spiritual Living’s Sunday celebrations. Most recently, the hall made headlines when a truck smashed

through the front of the building last July. The incident forced the closure of the Willow Point Hall for more than three months. McKenzie said the hall is typically rented out seven days a week. He hopes through heritage status, the hall will be protected for years to come. To share your stories about the Willow Point hall call McKenzie, 250-923-6355 or Ivan Charette, 250-923-9444.

Doing the dishes at the Campbell River Senior’s Centre is a lot easier for the volunteers on lunch duty these days. Thanks in part to the Campbell River Rotary Club, which donated $2,500, the Senior’s Centre has a brandnew commercial dishwasher with a rack that can hold roughly 18 dishes. “We’re really happy the Rotary Club committed to help with the dishwasher,” says Andy Adams, member of the noon hour Rotary Club. “It makes it faster to clean the dishes and it cleans them more hygienically and properly.” Each load only takes about one minute and the volunteers say it has made the after lunch cleanup so much easier. They no longer have to worry about bleaching all of the dishes to ensure they have been properly sanitized. The dishwasher is also ergonomically friendly. It

Campbell River will host its fifth annual Walk Away from Homophobia on Tuesday, May 17. The event is endorsed by Mayor Charlie Cornfield, who has signed a proclamation designating May 17 as Walk Away from Homophobia Day in Campbell River, and City Hall will be raising the rainbow flag in support and recognition of lesbian, bisexual, gay, transgender, two-spirit and

queer people in the community. CR Pride and AIDS Vancouver Island are holding this walk to encourage understanding of sexual diversity and end discrimination on sexual orientation. May 17 is the International Day Against Homophobia and this year’s theme is “Same-sex Couple - A Story of Love,” a commentary on how people perceive being gay or lesbian in a narrow way in which

sexual orientation is reduced to its simplest form – sex. “This year’s theme reminds us that just as for opposite-sex couples, same-sex relationships form out of love and romantic feelings,” said Leanne Cunningham, of AIDS Vancouver Island. “Same-sex couples go through the same good and bad times that opposite-sex couples do and these relationships can certainly be strengthened when

they have community support.” The walk will begin at 5 p.m. sharp at Spirit Square and all members of the community are invited to participate. The walk will be followed by speeches and entertainment from CR Pride members as well as Campbell River’s community members. Youth 4 Diversity will also be performing a short skit again this year. The walk was created

by CR Pride, Campbell River’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, two-spirit and queer (LGBTTQ) Social/Support Group. With support from AIDS Vancouver Island, the group meets every 2nd and 4th Tuesday in Campbell River. The support group is hosting the event to reach out to the broader community about the hardships and dangers of homophobia.

PUBLISHER: Zena Williams publisher@campbellrivermirror.com

EDITOR: Alistair Taylor editor@campbellrivermirror.com

Our View

A lesson for the provincial Liberals While Premier Christy Clark will soon be able to take her seat in the B.C. Legislature, the close race she endured in the Vancouver-Point Grey byelection should cause her, and the party, to stop think. We say: Premier and In a short campaign that partially Christy Clark overlapped the federal election, Clark managed to win the seat by less than wins seat in a 600 votes — 7,371 to 6,776 for the NDP’s squeaker David Eby. And she did so without facing a candidate from the resurgent BC Conservatives, who decided to follow tradition and not contest the seat, when it was a byelection involving the

sitting premier. Clark’s honeymoon with the public is definitely over. This is partially due to the type of campaign she ran. She refused to attend any all-candidates debate, or take any hard questions, and isolated herself in a bubble. But it is also due to the continued unpopularity of the BC Liberals, particularly over the HST, but also over numerous other issues such as education funding, health care waiting lists, the BC Rail sale, and the general malaise which seems to have come over the province. The HST is Clark’s most pressing problem. It has dogged the BC Liberals for almost two years, and

caused her predecessor to resign. A recent report by an independent panel shows that the tax is costing ordinary working people a substantial amount of money for no apparent benefit. A referendum on whether to kill the tax will be conducted by mail in June and July, and seems highly unlikely to prove favourable to the tax. Clark is musing about calling an election in the early fall, but if the HST is rejected in the referendum, and the Conservatives surge to any appreciable extent, it seems quite likely that the NDP will return to power after a 10-year absence. – Black Press

Good point: Fishing Re: Paul Rudan’s article about Campbell River making it to the final round of the World Fishing Networks Ultimate fishing town contest. Paul stated that “This so-called race is actually a clever marketing tool created by the World Fishing Network.” Well, duh! of course it is, but who cares? Good for them for thinking up this contest. Why not see this contest for what it really could be for our city: A) We win $25,000 to put towards fishing enhancement, boat ramp upgrades etc. B) We are featured on the WFN network as the winner and receive a years worth of promotion on their network to help promote the fishing and tourism industry in Campbell River. C) Contests like these can really bring a city together and create alot of buzz and community spirit. The space in the paper taken up by this article could have gone to better use. If I worked at the Mirror I would have maybe inserted something like this: yeah Campbell River lets win this! vote here www.wfnfishingtown.ca/town/campbellriver. Deanna Collins Campbell River

First victim of Internet polls is freedom of speech

Alistair Taylor Out On A Limb

It’s always interesting to see how dearly people in a democratic country hold to the principle of free speech. In a heated debate or argument, it’s usually the first casualty. Members of country group The Dixie Chicks were lambasted when singer Natalie Maines criticized then-U.S. president George Bush and his invasion of Iraq. The backlash against the band was vigorous, vociferous and voluminous. So much for freedom of speech in the world’s greatest democracy. And don’t go thinking Canada’s any better. We can fly off the handle with the best of them. We in the newspaper business have a vested interest in freedom of speech. Fellas like me usually have a space like this here one to fill and the

expectation is that we’re going to fill it with something meaningful. As long as it is something you agree with. Right? I exaggerate. Of course, not all readers are intolerant of opposing viewpoints. Most are willing to accept the right of others to hold a contrary point of view. But frankly, too many aren’t. You hear it in public meetings and on radio talk shows. Anybody who has a different point of view is not only misinformed, they’re also stupid. Too many debates involve people shouting down someone with an opposing point of view. The intent is to quash any airing of a viewpoint that is misguided and moronic. At least, that’s the implication in the tone of voice people use. The message is people with the “wrong” point

of view should not even be able to speak. Which brings us to Paul Rudan. On Wednesday he expressed his opinion in this same space. Reaction to what he said has been pretty strong. In the newspaper business, that means his column was pretty successful. In fact, his column is driving readers to our website, ironically. It’s already the fourth most read story on our website. But other people are having a hard time accepting his opinion. Well, you have to, this is a democracy. Just keep in mind that was his opinion. You don’t have to like it but as a resident of a democratic country, you do have to recognize his right to express it. Meanwhile, be aware of the difference between a column and

other pieces of writing in a newspaper. A column has a name (and usually a picture) attached to it and is a personal opinion. An editorial – as seen at the top of this page – is the opinion of the newspaper. Don’t confuse the two. If you want the paper’s opinion on the World Fishing Network’s current competition, see the front page and editorial page of our March 30 edition of the Mirror. In summary, it says get out and vote for Campbell River. And our front page photo kicked off this campaign. Now, in my opinion, freedom of speech does have limits. Those limits lie in the deliberate persecution of ethnic and other minorities and the intentional perpetration of lies. Some people don’t even accept those limits. But I do.

Who are the real swindlers here?

The word â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bilkâ&#x20AC;? means to defraud, cheat, or swindle. It was used last week to describe the actions of a disabled woman on a disability pension who was accused of defrauding the Ministry of Social Development because she had collected her $906 monthly income to live on and at the same time had received other income she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize had to be reported. Then it would be taken off dollar for dollar from her $906. She told the court she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean to do anything wrong and did not understand the rules. She has had no previous run-ins with the law, for â&#x20AC;&#x153;bilkingâ&#x20AC;? or other crimes. She is 61 and diagnosed with a severe mental illness that requires the support or supervision of another person in order to perform her daily living activities.

poor person, you have no access to justice because poverty law services have been taken away. The highest child poverty rate in Canada exists here, where children, their parents, and their grandparents are hungry and sick. This might not be a crime but it is certainly an embarrassment when we take a 61-year-old disabled woman to court and slam her with a criminal record when there was no intent on her part to do anything wrong. Furthermore, she now faces a lifetime ban for welfare income. So, while she has a severe disability, she will not be permitted to ever collect income assistance. It seems to me that the real bilkers sit in power in Victoria.

Woman prepares to help African orphans PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

o walk a mile in “their shoes” would mean going barefoot. That’s one of the reasons Campbell River’s Arelene Luduc is travelling to Africa this month in order to help the 65 children at the Agape Earth Angels Orphanage in Malawi. “Only four children have shoes so the orphans take turns by leaving their shoes by the front door, rotating and sharing their footwear so they can go to school that day,” says Luduc, who adds that children are only able to attend the local school if they have footwear. She already has one pair of sturdy shoes to take in her luggage. They were Morgan Hayward’s best school shoes, but he decided to donate them to the orphans who need them far more than he

does. “Morgan was sad by this particular story and couldn’t believe what he was hearing!” says Luduc. “After studying with his class about Africa he was shocked to learn about the cultural differences. He suddenly realized how lucky he was, and what a privilege it is, to be able to attend school.” Luduc will also be taking clothing, soccer jerseys, toothbrushes, art supplies and muffin pans to make Vita Meal muffins with the children, all possible through the support of our community, she happily notes. Vita Meal is specially formulated with 25 essential vitamins and minerals to nourish children. Luduc used the product to make muffins which she sold at the Pier Street Market and then used the profits to help the orphanage. “It all started, after raising two children

of my own I found myself clearly on a path to share my love for children,” she says. “I decided it was time to give back! This quickly led to forming a volunteer, non-profit team to support this quest.” Luduc is travelling to the Malawi, the poorest country in Africa (located in the southeast portion of the continent), on May 25, and will be staying for more than a month. The orphanage was started in 2002 by another Canadian, Dianne Block of Stony Plain, Alberta. She had travelled extensively and volunteered at other orphanages before opening the Agape Orphanage with just $75. “These children have lost their parents to AIDS and some of them will suffer this same fate. In these cases, we simply want to offer the child a safe and caring environ-

They don’t really know why they ended up here, but they all know it is a better place than where they were before. Most importantly, they all feel loved, and that is why we do this.” Leduc is hoping the people of Campbell River can assist

the orphanage too through financial donations because there’s no way she can take more than 60 pairs of shoes. “There’s only so much room in my bags!” she says with a laugh.

Win dinner with the mayor

Armed and dangerous Three Cubs attending the annual Buttle Lake Cub Camp last weekend get in some slingshot target practice. The popular event for youths in the Cub program, the second-youngest unit in Scouts Canada, brings kids from the mid and North Island to the Buttle Lake campground for activities and challenges.

How much do you know about local government? Test your knowledge and you could win a dinner for two with Mayor Charlie Cornfield. Local Government Awareness Week runs May 15 to 21, and this province-wide initiative aims to generate awareness about the roles and responsibilities of local government.

“Local Government Awareness Week is also about encouraging people to participate in local government processes, including voting in local elections,” says Mayor Charlie Cornfield. “We’re developing activities for this week to get people interested in what local government does, and how they can be a more active part of it.” As part of Local Government Awareness Week, the City of Campbell River will publish a trivia contest on its website (www.campbellriver. ca) under What’s New. Questions will be about city services, city facilities, how local government is funded, historical facts and the upcoming election. The city will also publish a city services brochure and post a presentation on its website highlighting local government services and the municipal election process. Paper copies of all materials (trivia contest, brochure and presentation) are available at City Hall for people who don’t have Internet access. The contest will officially open May 16 and will close at the end of day May 24. People who send in the correct answers to the trivia contest questions will have their name entered in a draw. The prize: dinner for two with the Mayor. The winner will be announced later in May. On the afternoon of Wednesday, May 18, the City of Campbell River will also offer tours of local facilities people don’t usually get to visit: Fire Hall No.1, Dogwood Operations Centre, the Elk Falls Water Quality Centre and the Norm Wood Environmental Centre. Tours of City Hall will also be available. Three 30-minutes tours will be offered at 1, 2 and 3:30 p.m. Tour size will be limited to 12 people, and bookings can be made by telephone. Call City Hall at 250286-5700 to reserve a space.

That’s the final tally of the BC Salmon Farmers Association’s Dress from the Heart clothing challenge fundraiser. “This has been one of those events that has picked up great momentum and support – and has been fun and inspiring at the same time,” said Mary Ellen Walling, Executive Director of the BC Salmon Farmers Association. “We are so proud to be able to support the Heart and Stroke Foundation.” For the month of April, each staffer at the BCSFA office was challenged to wear just six pieces of clothing to work to raise funds for the foundation. The challenge was inspired by the foundations’ Heart Truth fashion show, and a financial-advice column by Smart Cookies’ Angela Self. With the clothing challenge tackled, BCSFA staff went on to host a clothing swap and open house at their offices just a few days ago. Entrance was by donation to the foundation as well : and all the remaining clothes will be donated to Ann Elmore House in Campbell River. “This is a real winwin: we tackled a challenge as a team that enabled us to contribute to two important organizations,” said Walling. “Supporting women in our community and encouraging heart health are two topics near and dear to all of us.” The BCSFA represents salmon farm companies and those who supply services and supplies to the industry. Salmonfarming provides for 6,000 direct and indirect jobs while contributing $800-million to the provincial economy each year.

Crews ready themselves for forest fire season STEVEN HEYWOOD BLACK PRESS

e comfortable, follow the safety instructions and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be complacent. Those are the three main rules to follow when entering and exiting a hovering helicopter, and part of the lessons learned by forest firefighters Tuesday afternoon at the Qualicum Beach airport. Forests ministry fire crews from the Coastal Fire region (Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast) were in Qualicum Beach for their annual hover training exercise. For newcomers to the ranks, some more nervous than others, and for veterans of the forest service, the course is part of their training and qualifies them to engage in similar operations across the country and in the United States. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We start with a power point presentation, which is where we go over, basically, what makes a helicopter fly,â&#x20AC;? said Julian Welp, a crew leader. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And safety, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the top of the list.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

THEY SAID IT: â&#x20AC;&#x153;And

safety, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the top of the list.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Julian Welp, crew leader

Welp has performed a hover exit many times, he said, noting it comes into play when fighting fires in steep, mountainous terrain â&#x20AC;&#x201D; places where a chopper cannot set down. New forest firefighter Marc Albert, who works out of Powell River, said the training is an extension of his boot camp training and was a little nervous. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done it before, but I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be fine,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to follow certain safety precautions.â&#x20AC;? After a safety briefing and mock exits from a helicopter on the ground, the crews moved to a grassy area of the airfield and did it live. As the chopper hovered a few feet off the ground, firefighters exited and re-entered, making sure to stay low and not to get the helicopter off balance. Welp added thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no

way of telling when such skills would be put into use â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but when the occasion does arise, the crews will be ready. Donna MacPherson, fire information officer with the Coastal Fire Centre in Parksville, said training like this takes place throughout the fire season, and among the crews across the Island and mainland coast. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s this work, she said, that gets B.C. crews noticed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re recognized around the world,â&#x20AC;? she said of the firefightersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; prowess. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had international groups come here to train and learn what our teams can do.â&#x20AC;? She said since B.C. has so much public land to take care of, firefighters here get a lot of practice and real action. The fire season, MacPherson continued, has already started, with a small forest fire near Pemberton last weekend. As of Monday at noon, she said, the Coastal Fire centre will implement a ban on all backyard fires. Check with local municipalities, she added, for local burning regulations.

vide the students some much needed shade and help prevent heat exhaustion from the hot sun. “Over the course of the week it was amazing to see the school develop and our efforts pay off,” said Bruce White, Vice President, Marketing, LBM. “These school build projects are a tangible way we can put to use the construction expertise of Home Dealers and vendors to help make a meaningful, concrete impact for these school children. We’re already looking forward to next year’s trip.” Beyond the volunteer time, much of the materials and products used for the project were donated by the vendors.

several not-for-profit groups, giving our time and expertise where we can,” said Jack Turley, referring to he and his wife Stevie’s community service. The owners of two business – gourmet Essentials and La Tee Da Lingerie Boutique – recently celebrated their 20th anniversary. “Owning two stores is not simply twice the time commitment and work load, it is more like four times,” says Stevie. The couple have kids, work together, live together and balance it all with their business commitment. They credit their success to a strong relationship. “Our family is very close and our time spent with our kids has always been an important priority for us,” Stevie says. “We have been very

fortunate that the success of the business has allowed us that time,” Jack adds. Gourmet Essentials began after Jack was transferred to the Campbell River area in 1988. Stevie was unable to find suitable work in town so the couple decided to challenge themselves by going into business. The couple agree that it feels like 20 years zoomed by in the blink of an eye. But so much has changed in their personal lives – e.g., two kids – and the community has evolved in dramatic ways during that time also. The couple still finds the business challenging and fun – it must be, they’re still going strong. Many community groups have benefited from their success. You can bet that won’t ever be “wrapped up.”

Annual Black Creek World Relief Fair does a world of good ERNIE KLASSEN SPECIAL TO THE MIRROR

The Mennonites on Vancouver Island are raising funds for the Malawi Literacy Project on Saturday May 28 at the Black Creek Community Hall. T hat’s when the annual World Relief

Fair runs 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. (breakfast at 8 a.m.) featuring baking, ethnic foods, rummage sale, silent auction and live auction at noon, plants and more. The women in Egypt need our help, read their story. “Now we can read and write, but we want

to do more. We want to open businesses so that we can support our families.” This was the feedback that Mennonite Central Committee workers recently heard from a Global Familysponsored literacy program for women in Egypt. These are

significant words in a country where 47 per cent of rural women can not read or write and where gender inequality still plays a major role in deciding who “deserves” to receive an education. Recent world statistical evidence shows that Egypt ranks at 120

out of 128 countries for women’s access to education. In a country with free public education, how is a gap like this explained? Even with the social changes that are sweeping the globe, traditional perspectives are not easily changed. When surveyed, 60 per cent of Egyptian males felt that it was more important that a son receive a good university education than a daughter. When asked why, the answer seemed obvious. A son needs university education to get a good job for his future, but a daughter’s education is unnecessary since her skills will only be needed at home. Unfortunately, even using this reasoning, an illiterate mother is unable to help her educated son when he brings home his schoolwork. Even if she only stays at

home, a literate mother is a mother who is equipped to help her children break the cycle of poverty in their own lives. That means, all of her children. However, the Mennonite Central Committee believes that there is even more value in educating women. More intrinsically, but equally important, is the message that education sends to these women – that they are important, contributing members of society, capable of participating in local governance and economic development. Women who are confident of their skills are women who are able to contribute to the betterment of their country – where 40 per cent of the population falls under the poverty line. Egypt is a place where recent pay raises for public

employees were rendered useless by significant increases in the price of staples such as bread, sugar and oil. Even its middle class citizens have difficulty affording meat. For the last five years, Global Family has been sponsoring this Literacy Program offered by the Diocese of Malawi. Every year more than 500 women, ranging in age from 11 to mid 60’s, benefit from classes administered by the diocese. The women who voluntarily participate show a high level of determination to learn and to improve their communities. Far from a well equipped learning environment, these women sit on the floors of churches, courtyards, or crowded homes. In their arms they hold babies and distractions abound Continued on A31

Post Crash Lamp Exams 2X14 A tungsten lamp filament can tell a crash investigator a great deal post collision if you look carefully. Was it on or was it tyee off? chev The outcome may mean that the headlights were on or that the signal light was never used. This information may be important to the outcome of the investigation. A lamp that is on has a filament that is very hot and pliable. Subject it to a significant shock, such as the forces of a collision, it will stretch out inside the glass envelope, possibly even breaking. If it breaks, the broken ends will be pulled thin as the hot tungsten stretches. If the glass around it breaks, little bits of glass will be seen melted to the filament if the power is withdrawn before the filament burns in the air. If not, the filament will be black and it’s surroundings coated with the yellowwhite powder of oxidized tungsten. A lamp that is off has a filament that is cold and brittle. Subject it to shock and it will break leaving intact coils inside the glass envelope. The ends of the filament will be sharp and flat. This could also mean that the lamp had cooled below 400 degrees F prior to the shock. The author is a retired constable with many years of traffic enforcement experience.

Campbell River Ravens’ Will McLean drives to the net during Sunday’s peewee lacrosse tilt versus Cowichan Valley Thunder. The Ravens won 7-3.

Defence and goaltending propel peewee Ravens Campbell River Minor Lacrosse Subway Peewee B Ravens played a pair of games on the weekend and were on the right end of the score both times. The Ravens travelled to Nanaimo to play the Timbermen on Saturday. Nanaimo seemed to have a few players that were

more interested in trying to make big hits than running the floor. T h e R ave n s s t aye d focused by working hard at both ends and trying to run their motion offence. Goalie Thomas Dunn was full-value for a rare and well-earned shut-out as the Ravens beat Nanaimo by a

score of 11-0. On Sunday, the Ravens gave their moms a handcrafted gift of teamwork and solid effort as they hosted the Cowichan Valley Thunder at Rod Brind’Amour Arena. Excellent ball support combined with gritty determination kept offensive

threats to a minimum. One Thunder player tried to be a one-man-wrecking crew but the Ravens used the angling/team defence techniques that they’ve been working on in practice to neutralize him and other Thunder players who tried to go coast-to-coast. The final score was 7-3 for

the Ravens. Similar to their defensive effort, scoring on the weekend was spread throughout the roster. Over the weekend, captain Nolan Fair had four goals and one assist, Will McLean had three goals and two assists, assistant captain Zack Lontayao had

three goals and one assist, and Liam Rivett had two goals and two assists. Reilly Doney, Quin Nelson, Bryce Turko, Justin Kennelly, Andy Hunt, Ethan Ouellette and Max Nelson also made significant contributions. The Ravens are in Victoria this weekend.

Trip to remember Sunny holiday

This is a picture of International Co-op students with the Campbell River Mirror, at the end of their Nepal trip on temple steps with most of the group. They were gone for 18 days and worked on the irrigation system, trekked in the Anapurna, rode elephants in the Chitwan National park and supported an orphanage in Pokhara.

Sherri Walker and Ron Douglas took the Mirror with them to Puerto Vallarta.

Mexico, si The Campbell River Mirror travelled with Wendy Simper-Jacques and Don Kolonsky from the wild boat and horse rides in Yelapa to jam sessions in Cruz de Huanacaxtle, Mexico. They explored all points in Banderas Bay; did it all and have the t-shirts and trinkets to prove it.

Wonderful cruise Fran Semkiw, Linda and Tom Burdett, Sue McKenzie, Geraldine and Esther Kluin posed with the Mirror on board the Royal Princess off Easter Island.
