Duncan does it again Conservative incumbent returns to Ottawa after tight election-night race KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Conservative MP John Duncan will return to Ottawa after winning what he calls his “most memorable election.” Duncan, who was in a tight battle with NDP candidate RonnaRae Leonard on election night Monday, said his most recent campaign was one of his hardestfought political battles. “This will be my most memorable election,” said Duncan. “My first was obviously very large and I worked very hard for it but this election is just as memorable and I worked just as hard.” Duncan was elected MP for the sixth time in the past seven elections for Vancouver Island North, a riding that historically has been a tight contest between the Conservatives and the NDP. “This riding is always close,” said Leonard, who was running for the first time in a federal election. “The see-saw battle is almost

a tradition here. I knew it would be a tight race.” Duncan prevailed with 27,184 votes compared to 25,385 votes for Leonard. “I felt good going in,” said Duncan. “I thought we were going to win, but I was hoping the ballots would be counted a lot more quickly. It seems they’re always counted so slowly in this riding and I’m not sure why. It’s a geographically diverse region and I guess things like that can interfere.” Duncan believes he was reelected because of his familiarity with the riding. “I think I knew the riding very well and I think I understood the issues and I have a track record of delivering results,” he said. “I was a known quantity and I think the NDP candidate, certainly outside the Comox Valley, was an unknown quantity.” Leonard, a Courtenay city councillor, only became a candidate in Continued on A3

Duncan staves off NDP challenger MARK ALLAN BLACK PRESS

Although veteran Campbell River politician John Duncan has learned that an election race is “not over until it’s over,” he finally prevailed Monday over NDP challenger RonnaRae Leonard. With only a handful of polls left to report, the City of Courtenay councillor and firsttime federal candidate phoned late Monday night to congratulate her Tory counterpart. In yet another nailb i t i n g Va n c o u ve r Island North tussle between the Conservatives and NDP, Duncan finished with 27,184 votes in unofficial results. Pulling away as the

Duncan: Dedicated to halibut issue Continued from A1 February, after former NDP candidate Catherine Bell announced she would not run in the next election to, instead, focus on her business in Courtenay. Leonard said she was honoured to have the opportunity to represent the people of Vancouver Island North. “It was so wonderful to meet so many people from so many communities and I think working with all the people here has made me grow. I look forward to the next election,” said Leonard, who plans to stay on as the NDP candidate. Duncan, meanwhile, expects to return to the House of Commons “very soon” and

is ready to get back to work. “I don’t know what my role will be,” said Duncan, who was Minister of Indian Affairs in the previous government. “But there are some obvious issues I want to deal with. Because we have half of the B.C. coastline in this riding, there’s always marine issues and fisheries issues and we have an environmental review process going on at Raven Coal Mine (near Fanny Bay).” Duncan said he wants to work with the forest sector, which he says is on the rebound, and make some investments in the riding. He also said he has been mandated by

Prime Minister Stephen Harper to work on a B.C. solution to the halibut allocation issue. “It’s something I said I would do and I will be dedicating significant time and priority to that issue,” said Duncan. He added that finally securing a majority government, after two previous terms, shows that Canadians have confidence in Harper’s leadership. “I believe history will look at Prime Minister Stephen Harper with a kind eye,” said Duncan. “I believe the next four years will be a prosperous time for Canadians once we have a full recovery from the recession.”

victory at his Comox Valley election night headquarters at the Bamboo Gardens in Courtenay. He likely learned that lesson in winning two of three close battles with former Vancouver Island North NDP candidate Catherine Bell. With his victory, Duncan has won the seat in the sprawling, sparsely populated riding in six of the past seven federal elections. He recaptured the right to be an MP in 2008,

defeating Bell 26,166 to 23,681 votes and taking the final installment in their electoral rubber match. I n wh at q u i ck ly became a two-person race Monday, Duncan ended with 46.1 per cent of the riding’s popular vote, with Leonard at 43.1. Although it’s cold comfort, Comox lawyer Mike Holland eventually wrested third place from Sue Moen of the Green Party. Reflecting the Liber-

Independent Jason Draper and Frank Martin of the MarxistLeninist Party trailed distantly with 290 and 56 votes respectively. Even without Vancouver Island North, the Conservatives won the majority government leader Stephen Harper asked for with 167 seats out of 308 ridings with 39.62 per cent of the popular vote.

The NDP held onto the momentum they gained in the final two weeks of the campaign, finishing with 102 seats and 30.62 per cent of the popular vote. The Liberals and Bloc Quebecois suffered embarrassing setbacks, with the oncemighty Liberals taking just 34 seats and the BQ a mere four seats.

Water main and service breaks were three and a half times greater than the city bargained for last year and wasted precious drinking water. The city has 290 kilometres of water main and sets a target of no more than 28 main or service breaks per year. Last year, the city went largely over that goal, experiencing 15 main breaks and 81 service breaks, according to the 2010 annual water report that evaluates the city’s progress. The city cannot accurately measure the amount of leakage in the distribution

system but considering the age and materials used, and based on national research, it’s estimated 10-15 per cent of total water consumption was lost. A premature failure in the city’s infrastructure is the culprit. “Ongoing increases in the number of service and main breaks indicated that aging infrastructure requires replacement,” said Jenny Brun, city water supervisor, in a report to council. The water report states that the number of service breaks has been increasing for the past five years due to corrosion on aging copper service lines. The cost of replacing the aging water

infrastructure was not being recovered under last year’s rate/ user fee which was only sufficient to fund o p e r a t i o n s, m a i n tenance and treatment expenditures. Last month, council voted to increase its water rates. This year metered water customers will be charged $.40 per cubic metre, a difference of $.4 from 2010 and unmetered customers will play an annual flat fee of $156, a $12 increase over last year. “Although 2010 revenues were below required amounts, the actual operating costs came in under budget and were significantly lower than other similar sized communi-

ties,” said Brunn. Maintenance costs were under budget by $44,353 and in comparison to other similar sized communities, was 30 per cent lower than the average operation costs. In 2010, it cost the city an average of 59 cents to treat and deliver each cubic metre of water, which is above the current billed rate of 36 cents per cubic metre. Residential water consumption per capita was up last year, at 496 litres per person per day from 2009’s figure of 444 litres per person per day, although the water report notes 2009’s water ban is likely to have made last year’s figures artificially low.

but with darkness setting in, the searchers from Campbell River, Comox Valley, Arrowsmith and Port Alberni decided to wait until first light to resume the rescue. The next day, three searchers from Arrowsmith

rappelled to the cliff where the hiker was stranded. He was safely evacuated and taken for medical treatment, and later released. But the weather had turned cold and wet, and the three searchers required assistance in getting safely off the cliff.

Managing Your Money Get equities in your equation – putting diversi¿ cation to work 4x10 Stock markets around the world have been very volatile in the last few years. If your portfolio has lost some of its lustre because of this, you may be seeking ways of protecting yourself from investment losses by moving more of your money into ‘safer’ investments. It can be appealing to look for the stability of ¿xed-income investments like bonds, mortgages, T-bills, Guaranteed Income Certi¿cates (GICs), or mutual funds investing in those types of securities. But seeking less volatility by loading up on ¿xed-income investments could cause damage to your ¿nancial future. This type of conservative investment usually offers a low rate of return, and potential for a drop in value when rates go up. Combining this with the eroding effects of inÀation can virtually eliminate any longer-term bene¿ts. Market experts agree, and decades of investment experience has proven, that a diversi¿ed investment portfolio through effective asset allocation is the best way for investors to achieve the long term goals of their overall ¿nancial plan – and equities (including equity mutual funds) play a key role in achieving the highest returns for a given level of risk. Here’s how (and why) an appropriately diversi¿ed investment portfolio can help buffer market turbulence: • Asset classes tend to move in different directions. By loading your portfolio with a single asset class, you concentrate your risk and limit your sources of returns. A welldesigned, adequately diversi¿ed portfolio encompasses all

Because asset performance is constantly changing and the asset allocation process is dynamic and Àuid, investors are best served by covering all the bases at any given time. • Studies have shown that the correct asset mix offsets selection risk – making asset allocation, not individual investment selection, the major driver in investment returns. In fact, as much as 90 per cent of portfolio variability can be attributed to the choice of asset types, with only 10 per cent coming from the choice of individual investments. • Since 1950, ¿xed income investments have generally reduced investment risk but have also lowered long-term growth. Over the same period, Canadian equities have produced the necessary asset growth to achieve long-term investment objectives1. The takeaway: Even conservative

investors should allocate at least 25 per cent of their long-term investment portfolio to equities (including higher yielding equity mutual funds). The amount of risk in your portfolio depends on your personal tolerance for risk and your time horizon. For example, if you’re close to retirement, you might want to reduce risk to protect a portion of your investments from inevitable periods of market volatility. Diversi¿cation works. And knowing the basics can help you understand and take advantage of the risk that may be in your portfolio. The best way to play it safe?

Microbiology decision due Monday Feasibility of centralization of lab testing subject of three-monthold review KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The fate of lab services at Campbell River Hospital will likely be decided next Monday, nearly three months after a review into the feasibility of centralizing lab testing for bacterial infections was conducted. Vancouver Island H e a l t h Au t h o r i t y (VIHA) requested three microbiologists look into the consequences and advantages of removing microbiol-

ogy lab services, which help diagnose infections such as meningitis, out of both the Campbell River and Nanaimo hospitals. The review was conducted the second week of February, with doctors visiting medical staff at Campbell River hospital Feb. 11. At the time, VIHA said it expected the results of that review to come back within a few weeks but the timeline quickly changed to a couple of months. Val Wilson, spokesp e r s o n fo r V I H A , stressed the process was not delayed. “We anticipate receiving a written report from the reviewers soon,” said Wilson. But Dr. Aref Tabarsi, director of lab services at Campbell River hospital, said on May 9 the reviewers, VIHA executives and senior

Tabarsi said he is concerned it has taken so long to hear back but realizes it is out of VIHA’s hands as to when the reviewers will come back with their report. “I personally don’t want to be too optimistic but I would be very, very surprised if the reviewers recommend centralization to Victoria, based

on the conversations our medical staff had with the reviewers when they were here,” said Tabarsi. “Going by what they shared with us, I think it (centralization) would be unlikely but I can’t be sure.” Tabarsi said there is a good possibility not all three reviewers will be of the same opinion, making VIHA’s decision even harder. “The reviewers will set the tone and what they say will carry quite a bit of weight but it doesn’t mean that it will be final,” said Tabarsi. “The worst case scenario is all three reviewers will say centralization is not harmful to the patient and we in Campbell River would have a hard time fighting that, especially since we picked one of them. It would put us

in an awkward position.” Tabarsi and other medical staff have fought to keep microbiology lab services in Campbell River hospital since last spring when VIHA announced it planned to shut down those services in Campbell River and Nanaimo to save costs. After medical staff in Campbell River and Nanaimo argued that removing local lab services would impact patients, VIHA ordered a review. Tabarsi maintains the integrity of a sample could be compromised during transport to Victoria, causing it to produce inaccurate results. He said it’s unlikely VIHA will move towards centralization but if it does happen, VIHA can expect strong opposition from medical staff here.

Our2X14 Water

Record snow pack to inundate reservoir Near record snow pack conditions have forced BC Hydro to obtain per mission to operate John Hart Generating Station at full capacity all summer long. Hydro had received a variance from the Comptroller of Water Rights in February to exceed its licence until April but that date was recently extended to try and prevent reservoir impacts and discharging high levels of water down the Campbell River during the peak summer recreation fishery. “Little has changed since February and in fact the forecast has increased slightly with the near-record snow pack conditions,” said Stephen Watson, BC Hydro spokesperson. “The Upper Wolf River weather station is showing a snow melt to water equivalent of about 2,270 millime-

tres. “This is about 165 per cent above normal and the second largest on record. An average snow pack year is about 1,350 mm water equivalent.” BC Hydro considers the annual snow pack, along with about 50 years of inflow data, to forecast potential inflows into the Campbell River watershed. The Water Supply Forecast indicates the April to September runoff volume to be about 125 per cent of normal with a variance of about 15 per cent should it turn dry or wet. That forecast will be updated by BC Hydro around May 9 to reflect the latest basin snow conditions but it is expected to stay well above normal. The snow pack historically peaks at this time of year, and then begins to slowly melt

Coun. Claire Moglove was among the municipal representatives elected to the executive of the Association of Vancouver Island

until depleted around the end of July. BC Hydro has been generating power at John Hart at full capacity since February to create extra room in the reservoir. The Upper Campbell Reservoir/Buttle Lake is currently at 214.15 metres and drafting. It has been steadily declining since February when it was near full at 219.5 m. With the high water abundance forecast, Upper Campbell Reservoir/Buttle Lake and Lower Campbell Reservoir should hit reservoir recreation target levels for July and August, said Watson. “The challenge for BC Hydro is under some water inflow modelling scenarios,” he said. “The Upper Campbell Reservoir could exceed 220 m by several metres and inundate recreation sites and

incur shoreline erosion. River recreation, and particularly fishing, peaks in August to September with the pink salmon run. BC Hydro plans to operate John Hart at full capacity – at 118 Mega Watts given its age and operating thresholds from its original 126 MW capacity – or about 120 cubic metres per second (m3/s).” That operating level may take place up to July 4 when BC Hydro’s planned annual maintenance of the generating units will begin. With one of the three pipelines from the John Hart Reservoir always off-line, discharge levels will be reduced to about 80 m3/s, which is the level where the river is fully covered with water and fishing access is still challenging. River flows will slowly decline at the end of July but poten-

tially stay at around 50 m3/s through midSeptember. The water licence river flow targets in August are around 30-40m3/s. Given the water supply forecast, BC Hydro has not operated the Salmon and Quinsam Diversions that can divert water into the Lower Campbell Reservoir, said Watson. “The spring and summer temperatures, rate of the snow melt, and rainfall amounts are large unknowns,” said Watson. “For the fifth consecutive year this a far from average water supply year and BC Hydro will modify its operations as these challenging conditions develop over the next few months. “BC Hydro will continue to inform the community of any significant operational changes as it balances all water use interests.”

Campbellton welcomes DISCVERY SPECIALITY

Vancouver Island Health Authority Request for Proposals (RFP) for Community Supports Partnership with the Integrated Health Network

2X6.25

VIHA The objective of this RFP is to allocate and distribute community funding for services relating to the Integrated Health Network (IHN). In 2007, VIHA, in a funding partnership with the Ministry of Health Services, established community-based IHNs. An IHN is formed through partnerships with primary care physicians, allied health professionals and community-based organizations. The goal of the Campbell River IHN is to support and improve the health & quality of life of adults 19+ years with two or more speciﬁc chronic illnesses (depression, hepatitis, HIV/AIDS, cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, diabetes, chronic heart, lung or kidney disease). The community funding is intended for agencies to provide community-based supports that improve the health outcomes of clients of the IHN. Examples of services include group education for chronic condition management, ﬁtness, exercise and recreational programs, healthy cooking programs. To obtain a copy of the RFP please download it from the internet at www.bcbid.ca To obtain more details on the funding and on partnership priorities please attend an information session to be held on May 13, 2011, from 1:00 to 3:00 pm in the Quadra Room, in the Sunshine Wellness Centre, 375 2nd Ave, Campbell River, BC. An RSVP is appreciated. Should you require further information, please contact: Karen Berezon, Developer, Primary Health Care at karen.berezon@viha.ca • 250-218-5887

Brown, Green or In Between? Designers tell you that colour can make a statement. In the case of green and brown lawns, the statement depends on the values of the beholder. As with every discussion that has two sides, it is Luisa Richardson the middle ground that allows for the most creativity. There’s much you can do between over-watering a lawn to keep it green and letting it go brown. When was the last time you limed your lawn, or aerated, or dethatched? How much partial shade does your lawn get? Do you know how much water your lawn really needs, or how to measure that amount? Answering each of these questions will get you a bit closer to having a healthy garden that thrives during hot summers and provides habitat for local creatures as well as beauty for the eye of all beholders. How short are you cutting your lawn? Raising your lawn mower blade is the easiest way to cut back on water use. Longer grass: • shades the soil, so there is less evaporation • keeps feeding roots, even after cutting, so the plant doesn’t have to race to make more green to feed the roots • holds more moisture • shades weeds, which slows their growth Did you know that average water use triples in summer time and that most of this increase is due to inefficient lawn and garden watering? Increased use at peak periods compromises City of Campbell River firefighting ability and increases operating and capital costs. For more information on water-wise lawn and garden care, visit the City of Campbell River website (www.campbellriver.ca) or call or e-mail the water hotline: 250-203-2316, water. wise@campbellriver.ca.

Our View

History-making election Now that the federal Conservatives have regained a majority government, it seems inconceivable that they had but two seats not quite one generation ago. Give the Tories credit for climbing back to majority status after being We say: John reduced to a party of two in the 1993 Duncan rides the post-Mulroney collapse. It’s personal vindication for Stephen Tory majority Harper, who might have been replaced as party leader if he had delivered a wave third minority government. Since the “one-man government,” as the micro-managing Harper has been called, governed like he already had a majority, what will he do now? The majority

came with barely 40 per cent of the popular vote, so it’s not like Canadians have overnight become a nation with traditional conservative values. We can expect Harper to govern us like we have, so let’s see how we feel about Tory majority rule in four years. Or for that matter, whether we still appreciate surprising new official Opposition leader Jack Layton. How will the NDP handle their new role as Opposition leaders? Now that Michael Ignatieff is gone as Liberal leader, who would want the job? The once-mighty Liberals, who governed Canada for practically the entire 20th century, have hit such a low they will surely get any remaining humility necessary to correct an arrogance bred by too much success.

As surely as our political system needed a rightof-centre national party, which turned out to be the Harperized Tories, we need a centrist party to reflect moderate Canadian values. The Liberals will have to reinvent themselves without the aid of an ally like the Tories found in Reform. One positive development is the downfall of the Bloc Quebecois. The election of the first Green candidate in North America was the topping in a history-making event. Finally, congratulations to veteran political warrior John Duncan, who overcame heart surgery and the latest determined NDP challenger to repeat in our riding. – Black Press

Good point: Sea lice Re: “Support move to closed containment,” Brian Gunn, April 29, 2011 When Brian Gunn talks about the weight of evidence in the sea lice and salmon farming debate, he quite noticeably has to ignore quite a bit of key research that doesn’’t support his hypothesis. While he is correct that there is proof of interaction between sea lice, wild salmon and farmed salmon, the conclusion that well-managed farms do not kill wild fish is also a result of extensive research. Those papers include studies where, for example, lice were directly introduced to fish to see what level of harm they caused. From that we learned that only very small Pink salmon may be at risk from sea lice – and our farm management practices have been developed to address this specific concern. Mr. Gunn also doesn’’t mention two published studies that show that sea lice numbers have no correlation to wild salmon returns. One of those was a highly publicized piece released by the University of California Davis in December last year authored by Gary Marty, Sonja Saksida and Terrence Quinn. The other though, received much less attention despite its author: In October of 2010, Alexandra Morton, Rick Routledge, Amy McConnell and Martin Krokosek published a revised study addressing errors found in their original calculation which said sea lice would decimate pink salmon in the Broughton. With the recalibrated model, even their study shows no difference in returns relating to sea lice levels. In their Continued on A11

Show of support for Justin was just amazing

Paul Rudan No, really

Justin Webb communicates in tears. That’s because he can’t talk, walk or even move. A spider web-like tumour has spread across his brain and has virtually cut off his motor functions. He can’t even swallow because the radiation treatments have a created a sunburn-like effect through his throat. He’s just 20 years old. He should have just completed his first year of school at the University of Northern B.C. He should be looking for a summer job, enjoying BBQs with friends, and hugging his girlfriend. Instead, Justin Webb is confined to a bed at Royal Jubilee Hospital in

Victoria where he undergoes daily radiation treatments to be followed by chemotherapy. A bag filled with a thick white liquid provides his daily nutrition. Several other bags of fluids and medication also hang by his bedside and are pumped into him through tubes. The room is filled with cards and well wishes from his family and many friends. His mom and dad, Diane and Art, are there too. “The tears are a good sign. That’s his way of talking right now,” says Art. Another good sign was last week’s MRI which shows the radiation has halted the tumour’s progress. Also encouraging for this young

man was the huge show of support for him on Saturday afternoon at Timberline Secondary School. For three hours, a few hundred people came through the cafeteria to support a benefit for Justin. They listened to live music, entered bids on the silent auction, had their photos taken and participated in a Minute to Win It contest. And, in the end, they had raised more than $12,000 to support Justin. But more important than the money was the outpouring of emotional support for Justin. He was hooked up to Skype and was able to spend a few hours watching the live bands and the many friends who took the time to express words

of encouragement. “He’s watching wide-eyed. He hasn’t even slept today,” says Art, who stayed in Victoria while Diane and daughter Michelle, along with her children, travelled back to Campbell River to be a part of the fundraiser. The entire family sends their thanks and appreciation for the outpouring of support for Justin. A more complete thank-you will appear in a future Heros and Zeros column. As well, there are few auction items left over, including a Bobby Orr photo and book, and two Rod Brind’Amour bobbleheads with signed rookie cards.

Another ister Blair Lekstrom, s a i d c r o s s - b o r d e r where 5,900 residents shopping to Alberta of the Peace River has become even more

popular. It was refreshing to hear real people describe their situations and concerns. Most had apparently spent little time poring over media accounts of the HST, but unlike the stale and spin-heavy debate that resumed in the B.C. legislature last week, they were direct, polite and willing to listen. Falcon reported a similar experience after 90 minutes of questions in Surrey. Suggestions included dropping the HST by a point (estimated cost $850 million) and offering more exemptions, on things like gym memberships or bike helmets. I liveblogged the event on Twitter, including a brief debate with former NDP MLA David Schreck about the fairness of these town halls. Schreck said there should be equal

time for a critic of the HST, otherwise it’s just government propaganda. Judging by the NDP’s latest line of questioning, town hall participants aren’t missing much. Their big point in the legislature was that if the HST is rejected, lowincome people would still get the GST credit. Yes, and the sun will continue to rise, but poor people will still lose a significant redistribution of income. You’ ll hear a lot about the HST in the next few weeks, with government and business advertising the merits of keeping it, and Bill Vander Zalm’s FightHST organization spending $250,000 of public money to continue its campaign of fear and ignorance. You could do worse than participating in one of these telephone town halls.

Fish farms: burden of proof is on the industry Continued from A10 words: “The survival of the pink salmon cohort was not statistically different from a reference re gion without salmon farms (http://icesjms.oxfordjournals.org/content/ e a rly / 2 0 1 0 / 1 0 / 0 9 /

icesjms.fsq146. abstrac).” Our companies have a high level of accountability which they feel acute responsibility for. When we make statements about mitigation of impact, operational standards and

monitoring results, we have to be able to prove what we say. Sea lice is an example of where a concern has been raised and millions of dollars and years of time have been spent to better understand and address any potential

issues. There is much to learn about our natural environment and our companies are committed to enabling that research, getting results and putting into practice standards that will ensure the protec-

tion of our wild ocean. We’ve already shown in many ways our commitment to that and that work will always continue. Mary Ellen Walling Executive Director, BCSFA Campbell River

Town halls: Twitter for normal people These days the media never shut up about Facebook and Twitter and “viral videos.” In this year’s political madhouse, no candidate can be caught without a social media presence. So it surprises me that the breakout technology for public engagement turns out to be huge conference calls on the old landline telephone. “Tele-town halls” were first deployed here by B.C. Liberal leadership candidate George Abbott. He got such big participation that Kevin Falcon’s deep-pocketed campaign quickly followed suit. Premier Christy Clark is doing one Wednesday evening for her Vancouver byelection run. Falcon, the reluctant finance minister, is using the same method to ask for options on the harmonized sales tax.

Thanks for being such great neighbours. – Rachael and Tyson HEROES – Are you one of the 99 who attended the Campbell River Wado Karate Club‘s fundraising dinner March 15 in Campbellton?

HEROES – A home run celebration to all the local heroes who came out one Sunday to prepare the baseball fields for the upcoming season. Your help and hard work is appreciated by all who stop by to watch the kids play as well as all the parents, volunteers and players – thanks. – With appreciation, CRMBA HEROES – The Museum at Campbell River’s 6th Annual Book Sale broke our past records this year, thanks to over 6,000 books donated by the community, over 24 volunteers, coordinated by the superb skills of volunteer coordinator Deb Willis and then the community who came out and supported our fundraiser by buying books, often topping up their purchases with donations. In times of uncertainty with Gaming funds and Provincial grants, the Museum needs to raise the majority of its operating costs. This fundraiser enables us to continue providing quality school and public programming, while keeping the costs low. A huge thank you to all who were a part of our Book Sale. – Lesia Davis,

Museum at Campbell River, “preserving our past to inform the future.” HEROES – We like to send many heroes to all the people who came to our fundraiser dance for the Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer and to the Riptide Pub, Royal Coachman Pub, Willows Neighbourhood Pub for their donations The Legion staff for their hospitality and 97 The River and the Campbell River Mirror for bringing it to the people of our area and last but not least to Ten Times Bigger who provided great music. We raised $ 800, - for a great cause to conquer cancer. – Thanks a million, Jannie and Jacob Koomen. HERO – My purse was stolen from my car, while parked in front of my daughter’s house in Willow Point. My daughter and granddaughter searched a very large area around their home the next day and found no trace of any of my missing belongings. I contacted Willow Point Children’s Centre (formerly WP Out of School Program) to let them know that my purse had been stolen thinking that one of the children from the neighbourhood might spot it. I’m very pleased to say that they went on a search for my purse and THEY FOUND IT! The children were so excited to have found it. The contents were scattered all over the place but most things were recovered. I would Continued on A14

OPINION Continued from A13 like to send a huge thank you to the children and staff of WPCC, you are my heros! I think it was awesome that you took the time to look for my missing purse and I don’t think it would have been found without your efforts. Zeros to whoever stole my purse. Parents if your children seemed to have more money than they should have the week of Sunday, April 17, it might be because they stole my purse. – A Very Grateful Granny!

HERO – Pamela Ryczko for introducing the world of Zumba to so many of us here in Campbell River. Who knew how much fun it could be? Pam, you’ve brought a whole new life to exercising. You are a great inspiration. An hour class of great music, moves and laughter flies by way too quickly. We look forward to joining you in your new venture at Stereo Fitness.

I am grateful that you not only left the money I had hidden but left me a note saying that I had left them unknowingly in a geocache site.

Pay a little, eat a lot, to raise money for research on Charity BBQ Day Saturday Join Campbell River’s M&M Meat Shop on Saturday to support the 23rd Annual M&M Meat Shops Charity BBQ Day benefiting the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada (CCFC). On May 7, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., M&M Meat Shops’ franchisees, staff and thousands of volunteers from coast-to-coast will grill hamburgers and hot dogs to meet the 23rd Anniversary Charity BBQ Day fundraising goal of $1.6 million. Supporters will receive a hamburger or hot dog, a drink and a bag of chips for a minimum donation of $2.50. All food and time is donated, so every penny raised goes directly to the CCFC for its research programs. For an additional $2, supporters can cool down by purchasing a delicious M&M Meat S h o p s S t r aw b e r r y Shortcake Bar and proceeds will be donated to CCFC. Canada has among

the highest incidence of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis in the world, two similar yet distinct conditions also known as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The public profile of these “taboo” diseases, however, continues to be low. There are more than 200,000 Canadians suffering from IBD. It is a painful and unpredictable disorder. There is no known cause or cure and the number of cases continues to grow. This year, M&M Meat Shops Charity BBQ Day is being supported by Amanda Holmes, daughter of Canada’s Most Trusted Contractor Mike Holmes. Amanda was diagnosed with Crohn’s as a teenager. “My dad is an expert at home renovation and construction.” says Amanda. “But when I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease even he didn’t have the tools to fix me. At this point, nobody does and that’s why both of

us are proud to support the CCFC. M&M Meat Shops Charity BBQ is an important way to raise funds and awareness for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.” “There are few things harder than seeing your child in pain,” says Mike Holmes. “I appreciate every dollar donated to the CCFC.” Breaking Records for a Cure From humble beginnings, M&M Meat Shops Charity BBQ Day has grown into CCFC’s largest annual fundraising activity by any single supporter. Over the past 22 years, M&M Meat Shops has raised more than $20 million for medical research dedicated to finding a cure for IBD. The money raised through events such as Charity BBQ Day has allowed CCFC to fund more than $65 million in medical research projects. Charity BBQ Day began in 1989, when Mac Voisin, Founder

of M&M Meat Shops learned that Canadians suffer from IBD at an unusually high rate. He quickly realized that he had the unique opportunity to help raise awareness and funds for a little known, and even less spoken-about condition and Canadian charity. Charity BBQ Day was born and the CCFC gained both a corporate sponsor and a public voice. Over the past 22 years, Charity BBQ Day has grown rapidly. Last year, $1.6 million was raised and this year the goal is also set at $1.6 million. “What began in 1989 with just a handful of stores has evolved into a national event at more than 465 M&M Meat Shops locations across Canada,” says Mac Voisin. “Our goal is to help find a cure so that our event can become an annual celebration of the cure for IBD. The money raised through Charity BBQ Day is invested into IBD research.

One man remains in custody after a truck was used during two business break-ins Sunday morning. According to RCMP, officers responded at 5:50 a.m. to an attempted break-in at General Paint located at Discovery Harbour Mall. The culprits had tied a rope to the front doors and then attempted to pull them off using the truck. However, the attempt failed and they fled the scene before officers arrived. However, the vehicle had struck a concrete pillar in front of the entrance and physical evidence was left at the scene, according to Sgt. Craig Massey. Then, at 6:20 a.m., the same truck

was allegedly used to break into the Willows Beer and Wine Store on Rockland Road. This time the truck was able to back through the front entry and a quantity of liquor was stolen. Shortly later, a truck was stopped by police and two suspects arrested. Lorne Seitz, 46, of Campbell River is charged with two counts of break and enter, taking a vehicle without consent, and failing to comply with a court order. Roderick Jurriet is charged with two counts of breach of probation. He was released from custody and is due back in court on May 9. Seitz remains in custody after he was denied bail on Monday by Judge Brian Saunderson. His next court appearance, by video, is also on

Man pees on pump Police are looking for a man who urinated on a gas pump. The incident occurred shortly after 2 a.m., on April 26, at an unidentified gas station in the city. The suspect and another male then fled in a white Toyota SUV. However, one of the suspects dropped his pay cheque on the ground near the pumps. Police continue to look for the culprit.

Stolen truck found A stolen truck may have been used to commit other property crime, police say. The red 1996

Dodge pickup was stolen from the parking lot beside Discovery Pier on April 26. Later that day, the truck was found in the parking lot besides JJ’s Pub. “It is believed that this vehicle was stolen to commit other property crimes,” said RCMP Sgt. Craig Massey. On April 24, police responded to two thefts in the 100 block of McPhedran Rd. The initial report pertained to the theft of a 9.9 hp Honda outboard motor. The motor was found the following day and was returned to the owner. The second matter involved the theft of a Yamaha Kodiak quad. The quad had been rolled away from the residence, but was found a short distance away in a wooded area. Both incidents are under investigation.

SLOW DOWN! SLOW DOWN! SLOW DOWN!

dmit it, you’ve always wanted to have your boss locked up for a day... for taking the last cup of coffee from the communal kitchen and not making more, or maybe his or her golf game gets in the way of working. Your chance for revenge is coming up on Thursday, May 12, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. as Campbell River Crime Stoppers puts on its Third Annual Jail and Bail. This year, the event will be held on the Spirit Square front and centre for all to see. “Detainees” will be picked up, frisked and handcuffed by real RCMP officers, in real police cars and taken before our not-so-real judge, who will set their bail amount. We’ll keep them in our “cells” until they have enough money pledged from phoning friends, family members and colleagues. Once the required bail has been collected, a member of the Vintage Car Club of Canada will give them a ride back to work in a Model T, or a Model A, Packard, Lafayette or other classic car from the 1920’s through the 1950’s. Detainees will be on a strict diet of “bread and water” (coffee

SUTTONS It’s all in good fun as Mayor Charlie Cornfield is “arrested” to help out Campbell River Crime Stoppers with their third Annual Jail and Bail.

This year’s event will take place on the Spirit Square on Thursday May 12, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Various local business people and dignitaries will spend some time in ‘cells’ to raise money for this very effective crime-fighting organization.

Locks of Love Sara Misko-Stephens, 8, gave 12 inches of her hair to donate to people – especially other children – with diseases which causes hair loss, like cancercancer. They use the hair to make wigs for these children. Their website is locksoflove.com. The bug cut happened on April 23 at First Choice hair cutters in the Discovery Mall. Stylist Heather Hachey donated her time. Misko-Stephens hopes other children will donate money or hair to her cause as well.

Serenity for mom

Tuning up for a benefit concert on Saturday are (back row from left): Maddy Erikson, Heather Spetifore, Nathan Krell, Matthew Krell, and Corey Spetifore; (front row from left): Gio Bellosillo, Sarah Hocking, Julie Matsuzawa, and Jia jia Forsyth.

Fine arts concert to benefit Japan There’s more to providing relief than just fulfilling physical needs by raising money for emergency supplies. Members of the local Japanese community are raising funds for tsunami victim relief but they also want to do something extra. “We want to cheer them up,” said Miyuki Matsuzawa, one of the organizers of “A Fine Arts Benefit Concert

for Japan” which will be held at the Campbell River Baptist Church at 2 p.m. on Saturday. In addition to the money raised, concert organizers hope to create a DVD of the concert to send to friends and relatives in the region of Japan stricken by the tsunami in March. Through the DVD, they hope to lift people’s spirits in the devastated region of the country. The effort

to recover from the devastation continues and the Japanese community of Campbell River and the Comox Valley has organized four fundraising events over the last few weeks to help alleviate the situation. “They are suffering over there,” Matsuzawa said. For Saturday, an afternoon of music has been organized involving talented young

Campbell River musicians and dancers. The region’s Japanese community still has strong ties to their homeland and felt they needed to do something to help not just physically but on an emotional level as well. “We still have a connection,” Matsuzawa said. All donations raised at the event on Saturday will go directly to the Canadian Red Cross.

The Tidemark Board and staff thank Guy for his positive contributions to the Tidemark Theatre and our community as we wish him and his family all the best in their new endeavours. The Board of Directors is conﬁdent that continuing this positive leadership and direction will enable a continued and heightened role for the Tidemark within Campbell River. Through innovative and creative programming, renewed community relationship building and leadership, the Tidemark is now well positioned and looks forward to this next phase of our development.

Intrigue and plot twists inhabit Veronica’s Room Ve r o n i c a ’ s Ro o m begins in 1973, with an elderly couple who are so amazed that Susan looks exactly like long dead Veronica. When they ask her to come home and pretend to be Veronica to make a dying old woman happy, it seems like such a small thing to ask. But suddenly, things aren’t going the way Susan expected. As a child, Susan was told by her mother, not to talk to strangers. Susan should have listened. Veronica’s Room is a totally absorbing spider’s web entwining fantasy and reality. It’s like being trapped in someone else’s night-

mare . . . with a jarring and surprising climax. Ira Levin, author of Veronica’s Room was the Stephen King of the 60’s and 70’s. Most of his major works have been made into movies including The Boy’s From Brazil, Deathtrap, and The Stepford Wives. Perhaps his most memorable was Rosemary’s Bab y, directed by Roman Polanski, starring Mia Farrow, John Cassavettes, and Ruth Gordon, who won Best Supporting Actress the year it was released. Veronica’s Room is no exception when it comes to intrigue and plot twists.

The Campbell River Arts Council is offering a unique opportunity for writers to attend a series of workshops with one of Canada’s finest young poets Matt Rader. Rader is offering the Arts Council a series based on the overall theme of Writing Life. He says: “How do we write about our lives and how are our lives different when we write? How do we encounter other lives in our writing and introduce our lives to others? How do we make our lives as writers and make writing part of our lives?” The first workshop will be held on May 15 from 1-4pm and is entitled ‘Get Your Work Seen and Heard: Building Literary Imagery’. This workshop will explore how language

makes appeals to our bodies, how writers build strength, definition, and expression through our bodies, and how bodies give meaning to writing. The second workshop in the series will take place on May 29 from 1-4 p.m. Entitled Taking Shape: An Exploration of Literary Form this workshops asks, according to Rader, “How do writers discover and utilize the shapes of their writings? How does a poet know how her lines should be arranged or a fiction writer decide to tell his story as series of flashbacks? What are the advantages and disadvantages of planning the shape of your writing before you write? Investigate the function of literary form and strategies for turning it into and advantage in your writing.” The cost of each workshop is $40 and will be held at the Sybil Andrews Cottage. Call

Bears bite Jr. Ravens in opener After falling behind 3-0 in the first period, the Junior Ravens lacrosse team battled back in club’s home opener of the season. But it wasn’t quite enough as the Ravens fell 7-5 to the Westshore Bears on Sunday afternoon at the Rod Brind’Amour Arena. The Bears dominated the opening 20 minutes as the young Ravens – the team has 10 rookies – seemed a bit apprehensive. The score could have been worse, but Ravens’ goalie Logan Down made a number of quality saves. However, with the opening period jitters out of the way, the Ravens’ offence got in gear. Hayden Smith scored at 1:11 into the second period while Eddy Lawson tallied the second at the 2:50 mark. Five minutes later, Tyson Fair tied the score. But then Westshore answered with two more markers to take a 5-3 lead heading into the final frame. The third period started with a goal from the Bears, but the Ravens quickly came back with Continued on Page 35

Carihi edges top seed Carihi Senior Girls won their second tournament of the season with a well-earned 2-0 victory over North Island Senior Secondary School this past weekend. The greatest success story of the Sixth Annual Interspor t Tournament this year was perhaps not the actual win but the number of Carihi teams involved. The school was able to put in three teams, their Senior team, Junior team and Recreation team. In all, more than 50 girls were involved in the tournament. The Senior Tyees met their strongest competition in the opening game. They enjoyed an excellent encounter with Brooks of Powell River. The game provided a taste of their re-match in the league on Tuesday. Currently, Brooks stand atop of the local school league and remain undefeated in league play. The Tyees went on to win this Cup game 1-0 in the dying minutes after Ayla Akehurst pounced upon a loose ball from the Brooks keeper after a strong cross from Claire Pomeroy. The win was just about deserved as the Tyees had dominated possession in the second half and had missed numerous chances in the first 35 minutes. The first half saw some of the best passing this season from Carihi thanks to the unselfish work of Jamie Tillapaugh, Haley Craddock and Akehurst in midfield supplying opportunities for forwards Pomeroy, Razza and Morgan Breeze. The second game of the day saw the Tyees defeat Highland of Comox 6-0. It seemed the victory over Brooks had provided a welcome confidence boost and the Tyees passed the ball with purpose and intent throughout the game. Defenders Taylor Marsh, Jocelyn Cormier, Kelly Wunderlich and Talise Lindenbach had strong games. Day two saw the Senior girls defeat Shawnigan Lake 2-0 in the morning. This victory put the girls into the final against North Island Senior Secondary. NISS also went into

the final on the back of three straight victories, defeating Carihi Recreation team 6-0, Carihi Juniors 2-0 and Mark Isfeld 4-2. The championship game saw the Tyees retain the Intersport trophy thanks to a 2-1 win on goals from Wunderlich and Pomeroy. The Carihi Senior MVP went to Wunderlich, The Carihi Junior award went to Jenna Manners and the Carihi Recreation team MVP went to Jamie

Less than two minutes later, as the large crowd watched with anticipation, Brad Remple took a breakaway up the floor to find his way around the goalie, scoring the Raven’s fifth marker of the game.
