Tsunami response: head for high ground Warnings to be distributed via radio, street-level loudspeakers KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
M
uch of Vancouver Island was on high alert last Friday morning with the potential threat of a tsunami after the devastating 8.9 earthquake in northeast Japan. Although Campbell River was never in any real danger, that may not always be the case. If an earthquake hit closer to home, a tsunami is something people need to be aware of and they need to know what to do, says Howie Siemens, deputy emergency program co-ordinator for the Strathcona Regional District. “Campbell River is in a lower risk area when it comes to tsunamis because by the time it would reach us, the power of the waves would have been dispersed by the islands and channels nearby,” Siemens says. “I’m not saying we wouldn’t get a tsunami but we wouldn’t be devastated by a tsunami.” Siemens says the number one thing people need to remember is, after an earthquake, head to higher ground because a trembler in local waters will more than likely trigger a tsunami. “We can’t predict the size of the wave that’s coming, so the higher you can get, the better,” he says. “Of course it’s not only the height of the wave but the force that you have to be aware of. They can travel up to 300 to 400 miles per hour. You

see in Japan that it’s lifting up houses and tractor trailers like they’re nothing – just bathtub toys.” Siemens says although scientists can’t be certain, it’s estimated that if a tsunami was headed for Campbell River, people would have roughly 15 minutes to evacuate any low lying areas and head inland. Once the Strathcona Regional District, which co-ordinates the city’s emergency program, receives a tsunami warning from the Provincial Emergency Program, a media release is sent to all local radio stations. The greater the risk, the more information that is shared with the public. The province identifies four types of tsunami bulletins, with a tsunami warning the most serious. Friday morning’s bulletin was a tsunami advisory, the third highest level of tsunami alert. Siemens says if Campbell River was issued a tsunami warning, the message to get to higher ground would be broadcast over the radio almost instantly. More than 30 feet (about 10 metres) from the ocean is best, up into the Dogwood area. A mass e-mail would also be sent out to all first responders, RCMP vehicles and fire trucks would be dispatched to spread the message through their loud speakers to evacuate areas near the water.

Big money for stolen copper wire The recent rash of copper wire thefts is a crime which is typically cyclical, said RCMP Sgt. Craig Massey. “When the price of copper goes up…the financial gain is substantial,” he said Monday. Overnight on March 6-7, approximately $8,000-$10,000 worth of copper wire was stolen Lee Mac Electric on 17th Avenue. The same morning, A-1 Radiators at 1961 Island Hwy., reported the theft of 200 pounds of copper wire valued at $400. A radiator core, worth $1,500 was also stolen. And, in late February, copper wire valued at $10,000 was stolen from two different Telus sites located in the Campbell River area. Massey suspects the wire is being bought by unscrupulous scrap metal dealers and it’s difficult for police to make
an arrest. The wire is usually covered in plastic, marked with identification or serial numbers. But Massey said thieves usually burn off the coverings at night, when the black smoke can’t be seen, and then sell the plain copper wire to anyone with cash. He added that police rely on the “intestinal fortitude” of scrap buyers to report suspicious sellers.
Thief caught, but not charged Things didn’t go so well for the culprit who was caught breaking into a man’s home on the afternoon of March 7. His situation appeared to get worse when the man took him to the RCMP detachment. But then, the home owner said he wanted to give the man a break and did not want charges filed. The suspect was set free.

Man faces robbery and theft charges PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
A man charged in connection with a robbery and thefts will remain behind bars. David Love, 31, was denied bail by Judge
T homas Dohm on Monday in provincial court. Love is charged with robbery, break and enter, escaping from custody, using a forged document, two counts of theft under $5,000
and two counts of possession of stolen property under $5,000. Love is accused of breaking into a home in late January, stealing televisions from London Drugs on Feb. 20, and the robbery
of gold chains from Thong’s Jewelers on Feb. 24. Details of the alleged offences cannot be reported due to a publication ban. His next court date is March 28.

gency Social Service volunteers to provide food and blankets and other emergency supplies. But in the wake of a disaster, not everyone may be able to get themselves to a shelter which is why it’s important to have a grab-and-go kit in your home that has a blanket, food, water, any prescriptions, a flashlight and scissors. For children, pack a book or a stuffed animal, any-
thing to provide them with some comfort. Siemens says bottomline, the most important thing is awareness. “Japan was a good example of what we can expect with The Big One,” he says. “It dropped off all communication signals and their tsunami warning system occurred but there was not a lot of time and people were not too reactive to it.
People were going to watch (the tsunami), not understanding the strength of it. Something we learned from Japan was maybe we should have maps on our website to show people if they are living in an area of risk.” Siemens says Campbellton, low lying areas of Willow Point and downtown areas would be most vulnerable in the event of a tsunami.

City looks at downtown -Willow Pt. trolley KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Campbell River may be the proud owner of a new trolley bus. The city is considering purchasing a biodiesel trolley bus but what it will be used for is still up in the air. Ben Chalmers, Rivercorp chair, recommends the trolley replace the existing city bus on the downt ow n c o r e / Wi l l ow Point route.
Council had requested Rivercorp develop a business case for a downtown trolley bus but that proposal would see the city lose thousands of dollars a year. “We found through the business plan that we don’t believe a downtown trolley bus would generate enough revenue through advertising to sustain itself,” said Chalmers. Operating the bus solely downtown would
result in a deficit of $80,000 to $90,000 per year. Chalmers said there is a much higher likelihood of bringing in the dollars needed to make the trolley bus viable if it were to operate between downtown and Willow Point. “There’s a number of residents that live along that corridor plus there’s people walking along the Sea Walk that could walk one way and then get a
ride back to their starting point,” he said. According to the business case, it’s expected the trolley bus would attract 5,000 riders per month and the majority of ridership would be low income residents, students and day care providers. The trolley would be free of charge but an average donation of 25 cents would be expected. In building a business case, Rivercorp looked
at the communities of Ladysmith and Langford which both run trolly buses. In Ladysmith, ridership is by donation and revenue has been lower than expected. The business case report says Ladysmith is concer ned about to where it will get money for the bus in the future as the trolley puts a lot of mileage on and the wear and tear is increasing. In Langford, the city
runs two trolleys at a loss but they look at it as community building, according to the report. The bus uses biodiesel and advertisements on the bus show that corporate citizens are willing to step up and help. To purchase a trolley for Campbell River could cost anywhere from $40,000 to $90,000, depending on the type of bus. It would cost roughly
$70 per hour to operate and insurance would be $5,000 annually, according to a report to council by Drew Hadfield, the city’s transportation manager. City council received Rivercorp’s report on the trolley bus last week but took no further action. Coun. Andy Adams said he would like to know what the full impact to the transit system would be before moving forward.
From intensive care to bike marathon KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Jannie, left, and Jacob Koomen are cycling in two countries to raise money for cancer this summer.
Jannie Koomen feels lucky to be walking. It’s a miracle she can ride a bike all the way to Seattle. Jannie, along with her husband Jacob, will be riding from Vancouver to Seattle this summer in this year’s Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer. Just three years ago Jannie was lying in intensive care in Victoria, with a marathon bike ride the furthest thing from her mind. “I’m lucky to be alive,” says Jannie who suffered a major cycling accident while on her way with Jacob to visit friends on Cortes Island.

It took her almost a year to get back on a bike. Now, aside from the occasional sore back, Jannie is fully recovered and ready to tackle the Ride to Conquer Cancer June 18-19, for the second time in as many years. Jannie will be riding with Jacob on the tandem bike they have dubbed Spirit Rider. Jannie, who runs
her own porcelain doll making business out of her home studio, saw her brother die from cancer at the age of 59 in 2006. Jacob, meanwhile, saw two co-workers lose their battles with cancer within months of each other last year. “We have a pack that sits at the back of our bike and we say all the spirits are in there,” says Jannie. “It’s full of spirits, they ride with us.” The ride, which is 260 kilometres long, is an initiative of the BC Cancer Agency to support cancer research.

Unfamiliar with the terrain on Cortes, Jannie was going way too fast down hill when she failed to navigate a steep corner. Her bike hit a log and came to an abrupt stop but Jannie didn’t.

City looking for new hybrids KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The city plans to purchase hybrid vehicles to replace two vehicles that were destroyed in a car accident last month. The city posted a twoday invite last Thursday for offers of two, five-door hybrid hatchbacks. It was looking for, among other things, new, unused vehicles with automatic transmission and handsfree cellular telephone capabilities to replace a couple
of vehicles that were badly damaged. “Four city vehicles were affected by a truck that ran out of control and two had to be written off,” David Morris, the city’s supply and facilities manager, told council at a meeting Feb.22. The 26-year-old male driver lost control on Alder Street while adjusting his car stereo, jumped the curb at City Hall and struck the four vehicles Feb. 13 at 10 p.m., according to RCMP. The crash caused extensive damage to two Dodge Cali-
bers that Morris said were “purchased not too long ago” and were valued at roughly $10,500 each. The city has budgeted for replacement vehicles at $40,000 a piece. By purchasing hybrid vehicles, the city can dip into its capital works fund. The fuel efficient vehicles also tie into the E3 Fleet program which Campbell River became a participant of in November 2007. The program promotes reducing greenhouse gas emissions, cutting operating
costs while fuel costs rise and an increase in fuel efficiency. As a member in the E3 Fleet program, the city’s fleet will be reviewed and a set of reports with a snapshot of its emissions and performance will be provided. The program also provides the city with a comprehensive roadmap to improved fleet efficiency. The evaluation complements the city’s ongoing green building initiatives and supports the city’s commitment to carbon neutrality.
Ride: Couple raising funds for cancer research Continued from A3 It raised $6.9 million in its first year and $9.6 million in its second year. Jacob says the race is growing and they hope to top that total this year. In order to participate, Jacob and Jannie need to raise a minimum of $5,000. They are holding a dance with musical group Ten Times Bigger on Saturday, March 26 at the Legion Hall. Doors open at 7 p.m. TELUS AUTHORIZED DEALERS

and the show begins at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15 at the Music Plant and Balloons N More Party Shop. For Jacob this will be his third year participating in the ride. In 2009 he had to ride alone because Jannie, who volunteered to provide medical support, was still recuperating from the accident. He says the best thing about the ride is getting to share his passion for cycling with his wife. “I love riding my bike. I step on my bike and sometimes ride to Nanaimo,” says Jacob. “The best part is we do it together on the tandem. Ever since the accident I’ve always been worried about Jannie and this way I know where she’s at and I can talk to her.” Ja n n i e s ay s s h e enjoys the camaraderie shared between the cyclists. “Everybody’s doing the same thing and it’s nice to talk to people and find out their stories,” she says. At the end of the race, there is a celebration ceremony at the University of Washington. “It’s like finishing a major cycling event,” says Jacob. “A l o u d s p e a ke r announces your name and thousands of people are waiting and cheering you on with signs and Canadian flags.”

Was Marguerite John acting in self defence or did she kill her common-law husband to end an abusive relationship? That’s a question being contemplated by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Douglas Halfyard as John’s trial came to a close on Tuesday in Campbell River. The 33-year-old Zeballos resident is charged with manslaughter in the stabbing death of her estranged husband Russell John. The 42-year-old died from a single stab wound to the heart
Break-in at apt. fire scene Three people were arrested inside an apartment building that had been evacuated due to a recent fire. One adult male, along with two youths, a boy and girl, were arrested Saturday, around 9
on March 7, 2009. Just seconds after he was stabbed in his uncle’s home on the Ehattesaht Reserve, Marguerite made a frantic 911 call. “He’s bleeding to death!” Marguerite told the ambulance operator, in a recording heard at trial last week. “I stabbed him in the chest…he’s bleeding to death, we need an ambulance fast!… Russell, wake up!” But the bleeding couldn’t be stopped and Russell died before an air ambulance was able to fly him out of the tiny West Coast village. In the Crown’s summation, prosecutor
Leslie Fillingham said the 911 call is a key piece of evidence in the case. During the call, Marguerite told the operator that she’s still intoxicated and stabbed Russell because he often beats her up. During the trial, relatives testified they occasionally saw Marguerite with black eyes or bruises on her arms. They also indicated that she wanted to get of the abusive, alcoholfuelled relationship with Russell. However, Fillingham pointed to inconsistencies in Marguerite’s version of events (Marguerite did not testify at the trial).
The night before Russell was killed, Marguerite had been waiting for her mother to return from shopping in Campbell River. After helping to unpack the groceries, Marguerite indicated she was tired and wanted to go to bed. However, Russell was waiting for her inside the trailer. She had kicked him out of their home several months earlier, in an attempt to stop drinking, but it appeared they were trying to reconcile their relationship. But on that night, the two began drinking vodka which led to an argument.
At some point, she kicked Russell out of the trailer and he punched out a window with his fist. The next morning, said Fillingham, Marguerite woke up and was angry at Russell because her trailer was a mess and her door key was missing. She went to where Russell was staying and slapped him on the cheek to wake him from his stupour. Moments later, she stabbed Russell in the chest with a folding knife. She later told police she stabbed him to avoid being beaten.

t takes a village to raise a child and it takes everyone’s input to build a community. This is the key message in a community dialogue to take place on Saturday. The city of Campbell River and surrounding communities are in a time of incredible change. The provincial government has taken various initiatives to bring First Nations into a greater involvement in provincial economy while working through a treaty process. Recent court decisions also have recognized First Nations and awarded them with a greater level of input and responsibility for management of land and resources.
“
THEY SAID IT: “Dialogue
is about building this canoe and paddling together.”
– Kathi Camilleri, Aboriginal Outreach
As we consider the many changing dynamics in our province, there is no better time to come together and explore how to build a strong inclusive and diverse community – one that includes all community members from immigrants to First Nations, businesses to provincial, regional and local government, education and health care along with other
Arts Council 2X3 AGM The Campbell River Arts Council will be holding its Annual General Meeting on March 30, 2011 at 7pm. This year, due to the renovations being done on the Sybil Andrews Cottage, the AGM will be held at our new ‘temporary’ location: 2111 South Island Highway in Willow Point (just one building north of ‘the cottage’).
COUNCIL CR ARTS COUNCIL
Everyone is welcome to attend. We are looking for some new Directors this year, so please consider joining our great team that keeps the arts4 alive in Campbell River! For more information, please contact the Arts Council at (250) 923-0213 or email: admin@crarts.ca
sectors of our society. Campbell River Multicultural and Immigrant Services Association is inviting participants from every sector of our community, including the general public, to attend the It Takes a Village Community Dialogue on March 19 at the Maritime Heritage Centre. In this dialogue, participants will take part in experiential day, learning about First Nations culture from before contact with early explorers up to present day. Using an interactive dialogue process called the “World Café” in conjunction with the “It Takes a Village” First Nations training, participants will break out into small groups to share ideas, and gain a better understanding of ourselves, our similarities and acknowledge our differences with others, in order to create a more inclusive Campbell River. Rachel Blaney, Executive Director at MISA is excited by the opportunity to bring local residents, immigrants, businesses, government
leaders, educators and others together with First Nations to build bridges in relationships. “What we hear from everyone is that this dialogue is very timely for them,” she says. Kathi Camilleri of the Aboriginal Outreach Program and the Ministry of Children and Family Development says, “The elders have taught us that when building a large canoe, often two logs are used. In putting them together, we build a canoe big enough to hold everyone. Dialogue is about building this canoe and paddling together.” It Takes a Village First Nations Training and Dialogue is funded by the Canadian Government and Embrace BC through the Ministry of Regional and Economic Skills Development. Other sponsors include the Simon Fraser University Continuing Studies, Dialogue Programs and the BC Ministry of Children and Family Development, Aboriginal Outreach Program.

Our View
Are you prepared for disaster? As the scope of the catastrophe in Japan unfolds, here in B.C. we should pause to reflect upon two things – first, the tragic loss of life to the earthquake and tsunami, and secondly, our own level of preparedness for such a natural disasWe say: Do you ter. Experts have long been warning have a complete that the B.C. coast sits on a major emergency kit at fault line. It is a matter of when, not if, a killer quake hits this area. home? There are serious lessons to be learned from this most recent crisis. In the days that followed Japan’s quake and tsunami, people were searching for water and food.
Clearly, thousands of households – including those that escaped damage – were simply not prepared to handle such an emergency with the most basic supplies and plans. Are we? The answer is, for the majority, no. The ramifications of a major quake will be the same here as they are in Japan. Stores will be damaged, and those that aren’t will be sold out of essential supplies in hours. Transportation will be severely interrupted. Telephone and Internet is likely to be down. So... do you have a survival kit in your home, with all family members familiar with its contents? Do you have a complete first aid kit, and sufficient knowledge to deal with basic trauma?
Do you know how to turn off the gas in your home? Do you have alternate shelter in case your home is uninhabitable? Do you have a family plan as to what to do if a quake hits while you’re separated? Do you at least have enough water to last three days, for your entire family? Do you have enough food on hand to last that long, or longer? If you answered no to any of the above, you have a choice. You can become prepared now, or ignore this latest warning – at your peril. – Black Press
Good point: Water World Water Day, a United Nations-sponsored event on March 22 is fast approaching. Nationally, provincially, regionally and here in Campbell River, water issues keep bubbling up. Nationally, the federal Conservative government refused to support the U.N. resolution declaring water as a human right. Fortunately, the majority of the world’s countries voted to pass this. For more information on this story, check out the award winning Council of Canadians documentary “Water on the Table” on Shaw T.V’s community channels in Campbell River (Channel 4) on March 22 at 5 p.m., March 26 at 5 p.m. and in Courtenay (date and time to be announced). Provincially, the Liberal government wants to modernize the B.C. Water Act. Their proposed new framework introduces ‘water trading rights’ which basically means control of our water will be turned over to the market forces. This focus moves us in the direction of privatization and water as a commodity – a direction opposite to the U.N. resolution making water accessible to all … not just the highest bidder. If you want to continue to keep water publically accessible, you are still able to send feedback on the Water Act Modernization: http://blog.gov.bc.ca/livingwatersmart/2011/02/17/conversation-on-the-policyproposal-extended-to-march-14-2011/#%20comments Continued on A11
B.C. government going Gaga over smart meters
Tom Fletcher B.C. Views
This summer, BC Hydro starts installing 1.8 million smart meters to eventually upgrade every electricity customer in the province. This is controversial for several reasons. First, they’re doing it now because former premier Gordon Campbell decreed it must be done by the end of 2012. Second, the smart grid is one of several major BC Hydro projects the government exempted from having to undergo a cost-benefit review by the B.C. Utilities Commission. And, of course, there is the budgeted cost of $930 million, coming at a time when BC Hydro is projecting rate increases approaching 50 per cent over the next five years. When I spoke with BC Hydro smart
meter project executive Fiona Taylor last week, she naturally had no comment on the politics. Smart meters are inevitable, she said, since mechanical meters are obsolete and eventually won’t be made any more. Taylor insists the pending rate increases would be even higher without smart meters. BC Hydro estimates the wireless meters will not only pay for themselves, they will produce a net saving of $500 million over the next 20 years. Even some BC Hydro employees were surprised to hear that, with current technology, the utility has no way of knowing your power is out until you phone them. And when line crews come out to repair a local blackout, how do they determine if
the repair is complete? They drive up and down the road to see if people have lights on. If you use a backup generator, they might miss you. Smart meters will have “last gasp, first breath” capability, storing enough energy to send a signal that reports the power has gone out, and another signal when it is restored. As it stands, a repair truck can be dispatched to a reported power failure, only to find that the customer’s main breaker has tripped. There is another concern, which is that the brief signals emitted every few hours to send readings to a central hub are somehow a health hazard. BC Hydro has retained former Vancouver medical health officer Dr.
John Blatherwick to respond to this. He notes that smart meter signals are the equivalent of a three-minute cell phone call once per day, at a much greater distance. These particular radio frequency signals are similar to those used for digital TV. Such signals are also emitted by the spark plugs of a car, by lightning strikes, in fact all visible light and even the infrared generated with your body heat. But there are people who insist they have a greater sensitivity, and there will probably be some generalized hysteria and system-milking as we saw with the squabble over a power line through Tsawwassen. The NDP is nurturing this flame of Continued on A11

continue to be dumped in the world’s oceans polluting them and killing an increasing number of birds and sea life that ingest broken down plastic chips from the discarded bottles. Vast quantities of water are used in the bottle manufacturing process. Bottled water is not cleaner or safer than tap water as it doesn’t undergo the vigorous testing that tap water is subject to.

discontent as it campaigns against smart meters. It’s popular among the young, and no less an authority than Lady Gaga is the poster girl to warn against wireless Inter-
net in schools. NDP leadership candidate John Horgan is the party’s ranking power expert. He mainly argues that BC Hydro doesn’t need to spend all this money on smart meters right now. But he is care-

A day of Highland dancing After a long day of pas de basques, highcuts, Johnnies and other traditional Scottish dances, some local dancers came through with outstanding performances on Saturday at the North Island Highland Dance Association’s 33rd Annual Campbell River Competition. Dancers from both Donna MacIver and Gayle Allen’s schools competed against competitors from around the Island and the Lower Mainland. The dancers included a few who have competed at the World level and that was nice for the locals to get a
taste of their abilities. Continuing with her improved steps and getting consistent results is Katelyn Schulz, who had 4th place finishes in both the Pas de Basque and the Swords. Schulz also came in with a 5th in the Pas de Basque and Highcuts in the primary aged group. Competing in their first ever event were the McLean triplets Jillian, Heather and Molly. Jillian achieved an incredible 5th place finish for her Fling in the beginner under 8 group. In the same group Kaylee Dewar who was also in her first competition and she achieved

Dancing her way to 4th place finish in the Seann Truibhas was Breagh Kobayashi. Another dancer having an outstanding day was Avery Foy, who won the Swords and achieved 3rd place finishes in both the Laddie and Johnnie. This coming in the very tough Intermediate under 12 group.

Biegler will now be competing in the top Premier division. On Sunday the girls travelled down to Courtenay to participate in their 40th annual event. Again turning in an exceptional series of performances was
Katelyn Schulz as she gained a second and two third place finishes in the primary group. In the beginner 7 group, Avery Osadczuk enjoyed fantastic results with a 2nd, 3rd and 6th place finishes. The positive results just keep piling up for Davan McEachren as she stepped her way to two 3rd’s and a 4th place in the beginner 8-9 group. Emma Schulz, Breagh Kobayashi and Emily Hill performed well enough to earn 6th pace finishes in their respective groups. Haley Smith garnered a 5th place finish in her first competition while dancing at the Intermediate level. Avery Foy once again came through with consistent results with a 5th place in the Seann Truibhas and an awesome 2nd place while performing her first ever Hornpipe. The girls will continue to work hard and look for more positive results when they travel to Port Alberni in early April. A group of the locals is also starting to fund raise as they have a trip to Scotland planned for the summer of 2012.

Throughout his life, he volunteered to help others. He was a Rotarian, Scout Master, and served on the executive of numerous charitable organizations and boards. He was also a long time member of the Canadian Legion and an Honorary Member of the American Legion.

He enjoyed travel, hiking, fishing, carpentry and also working with stained and slumped glass. A connoisseur of fine food, the occasional glass of wine, and always good coffee. His keen mind and warm humour will be missed by many. He led a complete life and he headed out on this, his last earthly journey, knowing this and wishing everyone peace and good cheer.

Exchange ideas at Evening Dialogues The Museum at Campbell River will present another series of Evening Dialogues. This popular series creates a public forum that encourages healthy debate on issues both global in scope and relevant locally. Everyone is encouraged to participate, share and exchange ideas.

Then on Thursday, April 7, from 6:30-8:30 p.m., the series continues with the topic What is Canadian Culture? The debate on whether there is a distinct Canadian culture and identity has sputtered on since

Animation workshop an avenue for creativity The Campbell River Arts Council is presenting a series of one-day animation workshops for youth. If your child is between the ages of 8 and 12 years old and enjoys being creative using a laptop computer, this is a workshop they will enjoy. Two workshops will be held: Level One will take place on Saturday, March 26, from 1-4 p.m.; Level Two will take place on Sunday, March 27, from 1-4 p.m. Taught by animation instructor, Fred Jiles MSC, this series
of workshops has the endorsement of many staff and administrators within Campbell R ive r e l e m e n t a r y schools. Jiles, an educator from Washington State, USA, has been teaching news reporting and animation production skills to youth since 1983. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a media project I really enjoy,â&#x20AC;? says Jiles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Observing these young people being entertained as they develop critical thinking skills, using todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s technology and a medium they engage with is exciting. I
chuckle to myself as I watch them develop a story concept into a full-fledged finished animation.â&#x20AC;? In his Level One Wo r k s h o p, y o u t h start by scripting out a story idea. Next, students create twodimensional drawings to tell their story, add an audio track, special effects and their first animation is finished. These test animations usually run from 30 seconds to two minutes depending on storyline and plot. The Level Two Workshop allows young ani-
mators to advance to a three-dimensional medium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clay seems to be the most popular material, but Legos work also. I have seen some very creative characters created by some very talented young people,â&#x20AC;? Jiles says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am pleased to be able to provide all of the computers, software, and cameras needed as part of this animation workshop.â&#x20AC;? The cost is $40 per student per level. To insure that all participants involved in the program will have a
sufficient opportunity to explore their animation skills, only 12 young people will be allowed to enroll per workshop. Students work in production teams of two youth per laptop computer. Parents are responsible for transportation to and from the Arts Council (currently 2111 South Island Highway in Willow Point) and a signed permission slip. Prompt pick-up at the end of each workshop will be much appreciated. To register, call the Arts Council at 923-0213.

usica Intima, a chamber music series for classical aficionados in Campbell River, concludes on Sunday, March 20 with cellist Ariel Barnes and pianist Sarah Hagen. Their programme includes sonatas of Rachmaninoff and Beethoven which display the breathtaking fusion of cello and piano. The concert takes place at 2 pm at Trinity Presbyterian Church. Widely regarded as one of Canada’s finest cellists, Barnes enjoys a diverse career as a soloist, chamber and orchestral musician. Over the past several years, he has performed to great acclaim in Canada, the United States, and Mexico, with critics raving about his “luscious tone” (Vancouver Sun) and “dazzling technique” (The Live Music Report, Toronto). Along with colleagues Mary Sokol-Brown and Andrew Brown, Barnes is a member
of Trio Accord, a Vancouver-based string trio which has been praised for its “enchanting,” “exhilarating,” and “extremely moving” performances. Released in the fall of 2008, Trio Accord’s debut recording on Skylark Records of J.S. Bach’s Goldberg Variations was nominated for Classical Recording of the Year at the Western Canadian Music Awards. Barnes is currently Principal Cello of the Vancouver Opera Orchestra, and a member of both The Turning Point Ensemble and the National Broadcast Orchestra. His recordings can be heard on ATMA Classique, Skylark Records, Universal Music, 604 Records, Centrediscs, CBC Radio (including Espace Musique), CBC Television, Integrity Music, Za Discs, Disney Films, and Funktopus Records. “A rarity of musical excellence, technical ease and tonal purity,” Hagen is a soughtafter soloist and

Morgan brings home Bears champs silver from provincial juvenile playdowns Local curler Morgan Beech recently competed at the Provinicial Juvenile Curling Playdowns in Lake Cowichan, March 3-6. This was the fourth time at this level of competition in the past five years. This time around Beech played with the Rice rink based of Nanaimo, which included skip, Shaelyn Rice, third, Marika Van Osch and lead Talya Jesperson. In the previous years, Beech played with teams based out of Victoria, Duncan and Campbell River. Beech came home with a bronze medal from the 2008 BC Winter games, along with local curler Nicole McCurrie, so the silver medal this year is her top achievement in the sport at this point. The competition was tough this year, but the games were well played. The Rice rink lost out 4-1 to the Brown rink from Kamloops, who are last years Gold winners and who also curl at the Junior Level. Beech thanked the Naniamo Curling Club for all their support and the City of Campbell River for donating the pins that were passed out at the event.
