With the city’s dump slated to close within two years, some residents fear a new landfill could be located near the closed Elk Falls mill. “Everyone in Campbell River needs to know about this,” says Corinne Matheson. Matheson operates Mystic Woods Landscape Design located at the north end of the city. She and several other Gordon Road residents are trying to put the kibosh on any proposal to turn the former paper mill, and nearby ash dump, into a new municipal landfill site. “Who would want to come here with a major dump on the ocean?” she asks. “The big scary picture is barge loads of Vancouver’s garbage being brought up here.” Matheson, along with several other supporters, plan to voice their opposition at Thursday’s meeting of the regional district’s Solid Waste Management Plan Advisory Committee. The meeting takes place at the Maritime Heritage Centre at 1 p.m. Catalyst Paper permanently

Youth lead the fight against racism Youth are important to the promotion of harmony among different races, as well as to fight against racism in B.C., says the Campbell River Multicultural and Immigrant Services Association. “Last year when I was watching the Olympic Games on TV, I was really impressed by how youth volunteers from different backg rounds could work together so well, so happily. After a year, the government is going to give more funding to youth to help increase inclusion and decrease racism. This action is really encouraging in 2011,” says Vienna Yeung, the project coordina-

tor of Campbell River Multicultural and Immigrant Services Association. Executive director Rachel Blaney says, “I always see youth coming to our organization to provide help. They are creative; they have dreams; they have a kind heart. But the most important thing is, they express themselves directly, they tell the truth. Youth really have the courage to say what they think. Sometimes they have very great ideas and definitely need more support from the community to make their ideas work.” Yeung says, “They are eager to fight against racism and bullying.

One time I saw some of them help the Youth 4 Diversity coordinator, Moss Dance, to prepare materials for the Human Rights Day. They were so energetic and excited to help. And from time to time, some ideas popped up in their mind, they would say it loudly. I remembered I had the same energy like them when I was in high school. But I gradually lost this energy when I did not get the recognition from anyone. The youth give me hope again.” E ve r yo n e k n ow s “Youth are our future p i l l a r s, ” bu t h ow many people can truly understand the deep meaning of this sen-

Landfill: City looks at options Continued from Page 1

closed the Elk Falls mill last July. In April 2010, Campbell River Mayor Charlie Cornfield asked regional district staff to prepare a report on, “the potential of processing solid waste at the Campbell River pulp mill.” The report for the solid waste committee is being prepared by a consultant and is expected to be done in May. During a phone interview on Monday, Cornfield says the committee has to look at all its

options, because time is running out for the city’s landfill. “We haven’t made any decisions, but we have a responsibility to check out all the options,” he says. “We don’t know what’s in Catalyst’s landfill, but we have to do our due diligence…Does it have merit? I don’t know.” The committee is also researching methods of converting garbage into energy. As the mayor puts it, waste needs to be viewed as a resource rather than trash that is simply buried.

“We have to look at it as an opportunity,” he says. On Monday, Catalyst Paper announced it had received $13.3 million in federal funding – through the Pulp and Paper Green Transformation Program – to burn wood waste, and convert that energy into electricity, at its mill in Powell River. “…our Powell River mill becomes one of the most logical and low-impact places in Canada to generate green energy from biomass,” Bob Lindstrom, Catalyst’s vice-

president of energy and information technology, says in a news release. According to Lyn Brown, Catalyst’s vicepresident of corporate relations, there’s no such plan in place for the Elk Falls mill, but the company is open to, “alternate industrial applications.” E-mail paulr@campbellrivermirror.com

Thief escapes in cab A jewelry store thief who made his getaway in an awaiting taxi cab was arrested hours later by police. According to RCMP, the suspect entered Thongs Jewelers in the Elm Street Plaza, last Thursday just before 10 a.m. It is believed he stole several necklaces and then fled the store. An employee tried to tackle him, but he still managed to escape and made off in a cab. The culprit jumped out of the cab in Campbellton and fled again, this time on foot. However, around 8 p.m., officers arrested a 31-year-old suspect who

is known to police. The man remains in custody, but has not been formally charged. His name was not released. Meanwhile, on Saturday, around 1:45 p.m., police were called to the downtown Dairy Queen after a female stole gift cards and change from a donation jar. An employee followed her which helped police make a quick arrest. The donation funds were returned to the restaurant. Mounties have also released more information regarding the thief who robbed the Willows Beer and Wine

store on Rockland Road, on the night of Feb. 22. The culprit is described as a Caucasian male in his mid30s. He’s about 5’10” with short brown hair and bushy eyebrows. And on Feb. 21, police received a report of a robbery, which had occurred on Feb. 19. The male victim told police he had left the Riptide Liquor Store a n d w a s k n o cke d unconscious by an u n k n ow n s u s p e c t . He awoke to find his backpack and money missing. This investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is asked to contact RCMP.

Cracked valve sets off sprinklers, fire alarm and forces Wal-Mart evacuation KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

More than 70 WalMart employees and shoppers had to be evacuated from the store Sunday afternoon. After Wal-Mar t’s smoke alarms sounded around 3:24 p.m., everyone inside the building was ushered out to the parking lot, with employees on one side and customers on the other.

Some shoppers took shelter from the rain in their vehicles while others waited just outside the doors. Dean Spry, fire chief, said sprinklers over the garden centre went off which triggered the smoke alarms. “Anytime a building’s sprinkler system is tied into the fire alarms and there is a water flow the alarms will go off because the water indicates that something’s wrong,”

said Spry. Spry figures it was about 20 minutes to half an hour before Wal-Mart staff – and then customers – was allowed back in the building. “Fire fighters had to get the alarm system working again and they had to drain the sprinkler system,” said Spry. The sprinkler system was activated when a valve froze and then cracked, said Spry.

Chief Robert Pollard (left) was re-elected Campbell River Indian Band chief and Curtis Wilson, Marian Atkinson, Tony Roberts Jr, Jason Price, Dean Drake and Dana Roberts were elected to band council.

Campbell River Indian Band elects chief and council The Campbell River Indian Band membership held nl election for Chief and Council on Feb. 18. The election, held at the newly renovated Thunderbird Hall, was the first held under the new Election Code ratified by the Band membership in 2010. Chief Robert Pollard was re-elected to another term and six Councillors, Curtis Wilson, Marian Atkinson, Tony Roberts Jr, Jason Price, Dean Drake and Dana Roberts were chosen by the membership.

Okay! Everybody back into the pool KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

After months of delays, the pool at Strathcona Gardens Recreation Complex opened for business Monday. Swimming lessons, chronic disease management pro g rams and Killer Whales Swim Club practices were all underway two days ago but drop-in swimming had to be cancelled because only one change room was available. “We could only fit so many people because we o n ly h a d o n e change room complete and we made it a family change room,” said Susan Bullock, manager of programs at

Strathcona Gardens. But yesterday the pool opened its doors at 6 a.m. and it was business as usual, with a second change room up and running. Bullock said the family change room, which has been enlarged, will be finished in a couple of weeks. All change rooms now have three private shower stalls and one also houses a toilet to make them more accessible to those with physical disabilities. “Those who are disabled don’t have to use the family change room anymore,” said Bullock who added the change rooms also have lifts to help those in wheelchairs go from their chair to the toi-

let or from an aquatic medical bed back to their wheelchair. There is new tiling on the pool deck and new signage bearing pool rules. The bulk of the work was done underneath the pool, to fix drainage issues. Construction began last summer but unexpected structural issues kept delaying the re-opening of the pool. Originally the pool was slated to be ready to go by the end of December but that was changed to late January and then, finally, late February. A grand opening is scheduled for March 12 with free swimming and use of the weight room.

The Strathcona Gardens Pool was open Monday to its first users in months after long-delayed renovations were completed.

Lengths are open from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. that day and there are two different everyone welcome sessions, from 12:30-4 p.m. and then again from 5-9 p.m. The first session will have games, water balloons and the big inflatable snake will be brought out.

NIC connects local employers with students eager to work North Island Colle ge’s Employment Resource Centre is hosting two career fairs to bring together local employers and NIC students seeking employment. On March 18 in the Comox Valley and March 25 in Campbell River, employers representing local organizations and industries will have the opportunity to meet, mingle and even interview NIC students. Treena Nadon, North Island College’s Employment Service Advisor, explains this event will afford local employers the opportunity to speak with our students first, before they consider other options. “Employers

who attend the Career Fair will have an inside track to our current talent,” states Nadon. “Between the two campuses NIC is home to almost 3,000 students enrolled in credit programs, many of whom are about ready to enter the workforce.” Nadon is anticipating a very good turnout from students and alumni, as students are now turning their attention to their job search and what career opportunities are available to them. Nadon notes, “Most are looking to remain in the area, which is a win-win-win for local employers, our students and our communities in general. Employing these stu-

Vancouver Island North is traditionally a close-fought race between the Conservatives and New Democrats.

D i s a p p o i n t e d by council’s decision to shelve an anti-idling policy for one year, the Environmental Advisory Commission is giving it another shot. After a city staff report, outlining an anti-idling implementation strategy, was deferred for a year by councillors at a Feb. 1 council meeting, the commission went to work re-drafting the policy. “We were urged to bring forward a report without a bylaw so we’re bringing it forward again this time with just an anti-idling campaign which we thought would be more palatable to council at this time,” said Peter Woods, chair of the Environmental Advisory Commission. The original packaged created by the commission and brought to council last November, asked council to draft an antiidling bylaw after first running a media campaign to raise awareness. Wo o d s s a i d t h i s time the education campaign (which was before council Tuesday night after the Mirror went to press) would last for an undetermined amount of time and would not lead up to a bylaw. It also gives the city the chance to build on School District 72’s anti-idling initiative which is focusing on implementing an idle-

free zone for all schools through the Hub for A c t i o n o n S ch o o l Transportation Emissions campaign. As part of the education campaign, Woods said air quality in relation to idling could be incorporated into the city’s already existing woodstove exchange program, Earth Week celebrations in April and during Bike to Work Week in May and June including shared messaging for Clean Air Day. Woods said costs associated with an anti-idling education campaign would be minimal. The school district has offered the city a number of free Idle-Free signs for city facility parking lots and limited quantities of Idle-Free decals. Wo o d s s a i d t h e commission was disap p o i n t e d c o u n c i l deferred the anti-idling policy and decided to try again after Mayor Charlie Cornfield and Councillor Roy Grant suggested Woods submit a new report that did not have a bylaw attached. He said the commission came to a consensus last year that an anti-idling policy would be in the best interest of Campbell River residents. Woods noted idling contributes to local pollution and the production of greenhouse gases and research shows localized air pollution negatively impacts the respiratory systems of children and seniors.

City gives plankton Aquaculture awards handed out project $1,000 KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A project aimed at predicting salmon returns received some financial support from council last week. The BC Centre for Aquatic Health Sciences’ Discovery Passage Plankton project is now in its fifth and final year but as a small, not for profit, the organization relies on funding from external sources. T h e c i t y, wh i c h donated $1,000 to the project last year, agreed to match that again for 2011. “We really are a wonderful resource to have, our research facility is working on the health of our community,” said Paula Galloway, marketing and communication manager of the organization. Mayor Charlie Cornfield agreed. “I think the project you’re working on is very significant for the community of Campbell River. I think it could go a long ways into the future in terms of enhancement of our fishery,” said Cornfield. The plankton project looks at what food is available to juvenile coho from late February to late June and

what changes. “Over time hatcheries along the coast saw a huge decrease in coho returns – less than one per cent returns,” said Galloway. “We felt that changing ocean conditions were changing the food available to the fish and so they were not making it once they were out in the open environment.” This year, retur n data will be available for the first time in the project. The data will allow the project’s partners to assess the matching food availability to release times for juvenile coho and whether food availability in the near shore environment can be used as a predictive tool for returns and thereby enhance the ability of government agencies to make decisions that support fish populations. “While the data collected has already been useful to Quinsam Hatchery, trends cannot be fully assessed without the addition of return data in this final study year,” said Elan Downey, research assistant for BC Centre for Aquatic Health Sciences. Galloway adds that the hope is that by fill-

ing in the return data it will allow the organization to use zooplankton monitoring as a tool to predict salmon returns. “The goals for the project are to build open the hypothesis that when more food is available, the fish will eat more and then we will see higher returns,” said Galloway.

The 12th Annual BC Aquaculture Achievement Awards were announced in Campbell River on Saturday. The annual event is hosted by the Positive Aquaculture Awareness (PAA), a grassroots group of industry suppliers and workers with a simple goal – to promote positive awareness of the aquaculture industry. “It was wonderful to attend the sold out event. Congratulations to all of the nominees and award winners for their commitment, efforts and progress in the industry,” said Campbell River Mayor Charlie Cornfield. “It is very refreshing to see the

A yard waste drop-off centre could open as early as this month. Ron Neufeld, the city’s manager of operations, said last week that he suspects the new service could be up and running by the end of March. Neufeld said the city is currently finalizing an access agreement with the Wei Wai Kai First Nation because the centre will be located on their lands, about one kilometre from the Shell gas station. The drop-off centre will be manned and likely open Tuesday to Saturday from 9 a.m.-5 p.m., year round and will serve as a transfer station to the Comox processing facility.

Vancouver Island Real Estate Board 60th anniversary leaves a legacy of learning T h e Va n c o u v e r Island Real Estate Board (VIREB) held its 60th Anniversay Celebration and Realtor Awards at the Vancouver Island Conference Centre in Nanaimo on February 24th with presentation of the Realtors Care Awards, Realtor of the Year Award and announcement of a legacy endowment fund to Vancouver Island University (VIU) and North Island Colledge (NIC). The event concluded at the AGM on Feb. 25 with the installation of

its 2011 Board of Directors. Initial communications began with VIU, NIC and the Real Estate Foundation of B.C. (REFBC) each having the key component of a matching fund program. VIU and NIC serve the entire catchment area of VIREB and offer extensive trades training programs, in addition to traditional academic fields of study. The REFBC is a nonprofit organization formed in 1985 and it is dedicated to the

respectful and wise use of land throughout B.C. This organization is also committed to providing education opportunities in the form of grants to students throughout B.C. By providing funding for Island students to study at either VIU or NIC these students could stay connected to their families, friends and communities. The collaboration between VIREB and REFBC established a $60,000 Endowment Fund at both VIU and NIC. Each zone within VIREB has a commit-

ment to assisting high school students seeking post-secondary education. Now with the support of the REFBC and the Foundations of VIU and NIC, VIREB has created a permanent endowment fund that VIREB, members or future alumni may augment and grow. “When we be gan planning for the celebration of VIREB’s 60th anniversary a number of alternatives for a legacy project presented themselves. The challenge for our committee and the directors was to find una-

The committee then set to work creating a project that would give back to the communities that had served them so well over the years. Educating young and eager students would provide benefits for entire families and communities. It was empowering on both an individual level and the collective level.

OPINION HEROES – the Ladies Auxiliary Branch #137 to Royal Canadian Legion Campbell River sends their best wishes for 2011 and gratitude to all bingo patrons and all bingo volunteers who, through their patronage and hard work in 2010 made it possible for us to make sizable contributions to Knights Of Columbus Hamper Fund, Salvation Army, Campbell River Food Bank, Hope Outreach Program, Legion Provincial Athletic Program, United Church Soup Kitchen. We cannot do it without you. – Branch 137 R.C.L. Etc. HEROES – The Campbell River Child Care Society is beginning 2011 celebrating the generosity of friends. Thank you to Jack Turley of Gourmet Essentials for sponsoring “Holly by Donation” again this season. Thank you to Joe Korsa for once again sharing his outstanding holly. And, special thanks to the holly lovers who made Jack and Joe’s efforts so worthwhile for the children and families we serve. – Joyce McMann, Campbell River Child care Society. HEROES – The John Howard Society of North Island sends a heartfelt thank you to the community heroes in Altrusa International of Campbell River for donating $1,000 to the KidStart Mentoring Program. This awardwinning program connects vulnerable children and youth ages 6-18 with positive adult role models. Thank you, Altrusa members, for your generous support of kids in our community. HERO – M. The ride, thankful. The laughter, unforgettable. – S. HEROES – The community for their overwhelming support of The Second Chance Recovery House during the 2010 holiday season. The men had a wonderful Christmas thanks to your cash donations, as well as lovingly made handknitted toques, scarves and slippers to keep them warm during the cold winter days. Carefully wrapped presents, chocolates, homebaked goods, turkeys, gift cards and stockings and gift bags filled with treats made the men feel they weren’t alone at the special time of year and people were thinking of them as they are on their journey of recovery.

year bring you all health and happiness. – The Second Chance Recovery House HEROES – The Campbell River Bottle Depot and ReturnIt Center as well as Curt’s Tree Chipping for hosting our tree chipping fundraiser on Jan. 8. Also many thanks to those who delivered their trees to us and their donations. Another year has passed and without the generosity of our volunteers as well as the various businesses in the community we would not be able to carry on providing lunch on Saturday. Our numbers have grown considerably over the past six months and our free clothes closet continues to be a huge success. Be assured that any and all donations are well received by our clients. Thank you again. – United Church Outreach Program, the Saturday Soup Kitchen. HEROES – The month of December brought with it many items donated to the C.R. Seniors’ Centre Society that enhanced the interior of our space. Members would like to let it be known that Jack Revoy is a hero, for his donation of the giant Christmas tree that lit up our Centre - it was an awesome tree! Also, another hero surfaced in the personage of Ken Hall of Catalyst Mill, for the donation of tables and chairs that allowed the Seniors’ Centre to seat everyone attending our Christmas luncheon – it was wonderful to behold! We sincerely thank these communityminded heroes for their consideration of the C.R. Seniors’ Centre Society. Also, our thanks goes to Mr. and Mrs. Stan Proctor for their donation of a beautiful portrait of our Queen Elizabeth II, and to Jack Carr for his donation of a painting of the “Swiftsure” coming round Cape Mudge. More heroes in our midst thank you!’ – CRSCS

HEROES – Keep Your Shirt On business in Campbellton for their generosity and wonderful support in helping to make the Trinity Presbyterian Church Nov. 6 Silent Auction fundraising efforts a resounding success. This was a fun evening of fellowship and outpouring of generosity and a substantial sum of money was raised. Our church will be breaking ground in the Spring to start construction on a major addition. Again, our heartfelt thanks. – From Trinity Presbyterian Church Fundraising Committee. HEROES – On Sunday Jan. 2, our dog went missing in the woods by Robert’s Lake. We managed to get him back on Sunday January 9th after he spent a cold week in the woods. Words cannot adequately express how grateful we are to all the heroes who helped us successfully get Lyle back. We know of some of the heroes who helped us but there are others we may not know who came to help out of the goodness of

their hearts. Thank you to the entire staff of Storey Creek Trading Ltd. for their time and patience, Lorna and Walter from the Robert’s Lake Store, Steve Harding, Chris Francis, Ryan Stanyer, Leslie Kaardal and others from Search and Rescue, Campbell River SPCA, Coastland Vet Hospital, Janice Leach, Pat Brown Clayton, Al Mose and his crew at Robert’s Lake, Kimberly Dorrington (and Yanick) of Seriously Dogs, Karle Granlund, Susan and Richard Michael, Ken and Ruth Mackenzie, Gord Bennett, and Adam Siu whose keen eyesight spotted Lyle. Without the help of all these people plus others who we might not know or didn’t get their names, the story may not have had such a happy ending. One may say that this was a lot of work and effort spent on a dog, and certainly not a perfect dog, but this dog is a member of our family. Thank you again to all these heroes who helped make our family complete again. – The Higgins Family

their products so unwary consumers will pay an inflated price. Recently, my wife went shopping for a TV, I won’t mention the store or the town because it is not just a Campbell River problem, before she went she checked some prices online at the major dealers on the Island, so she had an idea what the price ranges were. When

she saw one she liked it was priced about $200 more than the listed price the same store was showing online. When a clerk was questioned about the discrepancy in pricing he said, “Oh I guess it must be on sale.” I wonder what he would have done if she had just said “I’ll take it.” Get with it merchants.

Young rappers have the power and the cash Two young rappers showed “the power” to win a $2,000 prize from B.C. Hydro. Former Timberline Secondary Students Andrew Baskin and Tanner Waller teamed up to write, perform and video their song “Energy Rap.” They entered it in Hydro’s “Invent the Future” contest, which called for songs, videos and essays on energy conservation, and won the $2,000 prize in the 16- to 19-year-old category. Baskin and Waller submitted the humourous song/video last November. “I plan to raise awareness about the importance of energy conservation with a video that makes people laugh, while giving them a strong clear message about energy,” Baskin wrote in his submission. Judges evaluated submissions on originality, innovation, creativity, scope and potential to change behaviour in B.C. In addition to the prize money, winners get the opportunity to further develop their creative skills by spending a week at the Gulf Islands Film and Television School.

Tenth anniversary year for Jacqueline Chadwick Academy J

acqueline Elizabeth Chadwick, best known for her roles in Britain’s leading soap operas: Linda Bladwin in Coronation Street and Tina Dingle in Emmerdale Farm, is making this a year to remember. “2011 marks the 10-year anniversary of the Jacqueline Chadwick Academy and we want the children of Campbell River and the UK branches to experience the thrill of stage and screen training,” said Chadwick. As a shy child with a lack of confidence Jackie stumbled upon the drama training that would lead to an amazing career as an actress. At the age of 10, Chadwick was chosen to join an elite group made up of a small number of talented youngsters from underprivileged areas of England. Her ensuing eight years of training was intense and opened the doors to fabulous opportunities from working directly with the RSC

The youth of the Chadwick Academy have put on two performances at the Tidemark Theatre since the academy began operations in Campbell River in 2009.

to a New York student exchange program. It was that early training that provided the inspiration for the Jacqueline Chadwick Academy of Performing Arts. By the age of 11, Chadwick was already appearing in a drama series on ITV. Her career then went from

strength to strength with performances in film,stage and the infamous soap operas. In 2001, following the birth of her second child, Chadwick stepped away from her high profile acting career in order to focus on her role as a mother and to give back by teach-

ing full time. Within her first year as the Principle of The Jacqueline Chadwick Academy of Performing Arts, 12 branches were established throughout England and Central Scotland and thousands of children were benefitting from the unique, expert training on

offer. In 2009, Chadwick relocated to Canada with her family and launched her first Canadian branches here in Campbell River. “Over the past two years I have been working with the children of Campbell river and their talent is amazing, we have held two shows at the Tidemark Theatre and are currently working on a television and film production,” she said. “The shows were full and the feedback from parents is quite humbling,” said Chadwick, “seeing the kids on stage and living their dream means the world to me and the comments from parents on how our classes have improved confidence and life skills of hundreds of children makes me so proud. “We have children staring on stage and screen through our casting agency and one of our teachers recently starred in the final of Britain’s got talent. It’s great to see the results of our hard work and dedication are paying off and people are reaching their goals.” Chadwick teaches the Campbell River Academy herself and said she would have it no other way: “Teaching is my passion, I really did not like the fame side of acting, I’m to much of a private person. I teach my classes here in Canada. I miss my children from the UK classes but I speak to the teachers each week and the kids e-mail me all the time.” The academy runs five times a week at several locations in Campbell River, classes run in two age groups – 6-10 and 10-plus. Classes cover everything form confidence building to advanced drama, theatre and television technique. For more information call the academy at 250-923-2863 0r visit the website www.chadwickacademy.com and fill in a ‘call me back request.’

Inclusion to entertain at Walk Away from Racism The members of Inclusion invite Campbell Riverites to join the Walk Away from Racism Saturday. “Inclusion is a perfect fit for this event and we are very pleased to lend our talents to worthwhile events in our community,” says John

Hollywood, spokesperson for the band. “We are a group of seven Campbell River, music-lovers spending our time, efforts and talents to raise awareness that people are more alike than different. Our group’s most unique feature is its

diversity. Four of our members have developmental disabilities, but our variety moves beyond this aspect to include age, ethnicity, race. “We love to create opportunities for community members of all ages to see, first-

hand, the ability levels and performance competency that can be achieved by anyone with a desire and a goal. We wish to spread the message that while some people achieve goals more easily than others, most worthwhile goals can

be reached with time, effort and perhaps someone who believes in you. Everyone has gifts to contribute.” Inclusion and other local performers will appear Saturday at the Walk Away from Racism at the Community Centre at 10:30 a.m
