Blinds rattled, chandeliers swayed, chairs shook but no damage was reported after a magnitude 6.7 earthquake hit off the northern coast of Vancouver Island on Wednesday night. “We can confirm at this time that there is no reporting of any injuries or any significant damage, so all folks are safe,” said Pat Quealey, assistant deputy minister for Emergency Management BC. He said emergency-preparedness officials were contacted in communities on the Island’s north end. He said those communities included Port Hardy, Port Alice, Zeballos, Gold River, Campbell River, Port McNeill, as well as the Strathcona Regional District and the Mount Waddington Regional District. The BC Hydro system, including distribution, transmission and generation, had no reports of damage as a result of the earthquake. The Campbell River hydroelectric facilities are BC Hydro’s closest generation system to the earthquake. The seismic movement instrumentation located at the three Campbell River dams (Strathcona, Ladore and John Hart) did not trigger any alarms, said BC Hydro’s Stephen Watson. “Essentially, ground movements were not large enough to trigger strong motion seismic instrumentation at our dams,” he said. As part of BC Hydro’s response protocol, two teams were immediately

It will be very similar to what happened in Japan and what happened before in Indonesia. It will trigger a tsunami and we’ll have very intense ground shaking over a very large area over the Pacific Northwest and it will probably be an

Volunteers are key to many city services NEIL CAMERON COURIER-ISLANDER
One of the inquiries from the Canadian Federation of Taxpayers for its Beggar’s Check list is how a municipality could use volunteers to do some duties of paid staff, hence saving money. In Campbell River, volunteers and paid staff work side by side at a seemingly endless array of services that touch almost every aspect of a resident’s life. From recreation to seniors to culture to the environment, Campbell River steps up to the plate. And while that is a good thing, there is always a fine balance of ‘hows’ and ‘whats’ of volunteer participation. “There are certain factors and some limitations that the city must take into account when it comes to enlisting volunteers,” said City Manager Andy Laidlaw. “Safety, including WorkSafeBC regulations, is a critical consideration, when we determine whether volunteers can play a role in service delivery — because when volunteers perform work on municipally-owned property, the city is responsible for the safety of the volunteers and must ensure adherence to Work SafeBC regulations.” There are still a lot of activities
✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔
The Canadian Taxpayer’s Federation gauge on public spending. that can and do involve volunteers. But there are also services where safety or requirements for specific knowledge dictate that the services must be delivered by trained staff, said Laidlaw. “Take the city’s large investment in park and facility infrastructure, for example,” he said. “It’s important that the com-
munity’s investment is protected and maintained to acceptable standards — and to standards that will ensure the long-term sustainability of the investment. Maintaining the community’s investment in flower beds, sports field turf and street trees requires people trained with specific skills and certifications.”
In many cases, the work of community clean-up groups complements the work of city staff. A good example of that are efforts to manage and remove invasive species (like Scotch broom and Himalayan blackberry), which is primarily done by volunteer groups, with city staff transporting the removed vegetation to
the landfill for disposal. There is no doubt volunteers make Campbell River a better place in which to live and Laidlaw even went so far as to call them a core component of city services. “Volunteers are at the core of many municipal services in Campbell River,” he said. “There are numerous examples of municipal services provided by a combination of volunteers and paid staff. Several key municipally-funded institutions such as the Tidemark Theatre, Museum at Campbell River, Haig-Brown House and Sybil Andrews Cottage are provided through a combination of paid staff and volunteers working side by side.” It does not come without some costs, however, and perhaps rightly so. The city has a long list of volunteer organizations in Campbell River who receive grants-in-aid from the city to support the important community work they do. For example, during the April 15 council meeting a presentation was given on behalf of the Greenways Land Trust, under which several volunteer environmental stewardship groups work.

Walk With Your Doc events from May 3-11 From May 3 to 11 the doctors of the Campbell River and District Division of Family Practice will be holding their annual Walk With Your Doc. This event brings walkers and doctors together on a short walk in their community. Developed by Doctors of BC, the Fifth Annual Walk With Your Doc Week provides a great opportunity for doctors to connect with a group of patients, to walk side by side, discuss the health benefits that walking provides, and demonstrate their commitment of supporting patients to lead a healthy lifestyle. The walks will take place at various clinics throughout Campbell River and Oyster River. There will be various starting points and short routes. Contact the office of your family physician for specific information and details. There are three walks scheduled in Campbell River for May 7. Alder Medical will start from the clinic at noon, another walk will start from Yuculta Lodge at noon, and a third walk will start from Willow Point Medical, also at noon.

Continued from page 4. For one thing, these volunteers help tremendously with about 32 kilometres of urban streams and pollution sinks in the city. They help maintain stream corridors, the foreshore, the Campbell River estuary, Beaver Lodge Lands and other environmentallysensitive areas within the community. In 2013 over 1,000 hours of volunteer time went into the stream work alone. And the provision of arts and culture is also delivered primarily through the work of volunteers in partnership with the Arts Council and other arts/ culture organizations. The city provides staffed venues such as the Spirit Square where volunteer organizations provide arts and culture entertainment and educational services. Services for seniors are also significantly enhanced by volunteers. “The delivery of municipal services to seniors in 2013 involved more than 10,000 hours of volunteer time working side by side with paid staff,” said Laidlaw. “We appreciate that the partnership between the city and local volunteers is mutually beneficial. Taxpayers benefit financially by paying less for service, and, more importantly, community development is facilitated and sustained by engaging citizens who help offer diverse events and activities in Campbell River.” The city also relies on several council-appointed commissions made up of dedicated volunteers. These commissions provide council with a direct link to diverse community viewpoints. This valuable information and advice helps to inform council’s decisions that shape the community’s future, said Laidlaw. And in recognition of the significant contribution that volunteers make in the community, the city gives free office and meeting space for Volunteer Campbell River to help manage many of the volunteer activities in Campbell River, some of which help provide city services.

The Fair Elections Act. Is it fair, or unfair? Bill C-23’s certainly been a hot topic of debate since being introduced in February by Democratic Reform Minister Pierre Poilievre. Its stated target is election fraud. “The Fair Elections Act will ensure everyday citizens are in charge of democracy, by putting special interests on the sidelines and rule-breakers out of business,” Poilievre says on the Act’s website. “The bill also makes it harder to break elections law. It closes loopholes to big money, imposes new penalties on political imposters who make rogue calls, and empowers law enforcement with sharper teeth, a longer reach and a freer hand.” Critics are claiming it is a partisan document, and the ramping up of rhetoric leaves us clamoring for the facts. The Senate has made nine recommendations that Poilievre has indicated will be seriously considered prior to its presentation
to parliament for ratification. One of the points the Senate isn’t disagreeing with is what is termed “vouching.” According to the Globe and Mail, in the last federal election, there were 120,171 cases of vouching, which is, in other words: “I know that person,” and someone “vouches” for them. It’s an invitation for fraud. Considering some ridings throughout the country are decided by literally a handful of votes, that is not an insignificant number. A few dozen “vouched” votes could make the difference in who goes to Ottawa or not. The Fair Elections Act eliminates that. Is that draconian? Another major tenet the Fair Elections Act demands is that people who turn out to vote must bring with them one of 39 different pieces of possible identification. It doesn’t have to be photo ID. It can be something as simple
as a hydro or cell bill with your name on it, proving you live at the address that matches the one on the official voters list. Why is that wrong? We can’t cash a cheque or drive a car without proper identification. Why shouldn’t we have to provide legitimate ID at the polls to prove we are who we say we are? For third party advertising, the $200,100 that is currently allowed for ad spending during an election campaign period is now extended to include anything in relation to an election, including activity outside the election period. This will effectively reduce the amount of money third party groups can spend, as previously, that number could, technically, be unlimited. Donation limits are going up, from $1,200 to $1,500, and each year after that, by $25 per annum, and there is a ban on union and corporate money, which will
remain in place should Bill C-23 pass into law. That means it is keeping big money out of elections. Our voting should be free from big business, or big union, spending, should it not? Especially since United States companies are bankrolling special interest groups that are increasingly vocal about issues within our borders. As Canadians, can we not make up our own minds? Do we have to access funding from the south to tell us what we should or shouldn’t do in our country? The Fair Elections Act eliminates unpaid loans. For example, a company or union could “loan” a candidate or party money to fight an election, then after the election, forgive the loan. That loophole will be closed. There are many more aspects of Bill C-23, but do these points really sound unfair?

Roses&Thorns Email your submissions to editor@courierislander.com A garden of roses to the citizens of Campbell River. My husband and I moved to the Island several years ago — originally from the prairies. And, although I deeply appreciated the awesome natural beauty of the prairies, I never, ever, felt the extent of genuine warmth of friendly human contact that I have felt here, in Campbell River. Where to start? A smiling young teenager holds open a door — yes, this really happened. Any and everyplace we have dined or shopped in Campbell River — sales people, clerks, servers, even managers, graciously go that extra mile and often more. Here I would like to describe the most recent incident of this phenomenon, for it prompted this letter. Mid afternoon, Easter Sunday, I went into Thriftys to find a dessert for our Easter dinner. I found the meagre remains of a holiday pie counter. While checking it out, a young bakery attendant asked if she could help. I asked for apple. She herself checked the counter and with no apple pie in sight, she went to check in the back. She returned, “Sorry, all we have is pumpkin.” I hung around the delightful dessert area trying to decide on an alternative when the young lady, a huge smile on her face, said, “I found one” and held it up, “but it’s frozen.” “That’s fine” I told her, “uh, I only want a half.” She looked at me for a second and then again a huge, lovely smile. “Oh, I can do that.” The apple pie was good, the enthusiasm of the young worker exemplary. Humour and smiles infect check-out lines; patience and peace prevail in small parking lots; and, when we walk on the lovely trails of Elk Falls and the Beaver Lodge Lands we are met with greetings by every walker, jogger, runner, cyclist, skateboarder, and horseback
rider we pass; if nothing else, a nod of acknowledgement that another human being is out enjoying the pleasures of being on this planet. The humanity of these gestures is heart warming. So too was reading of a confused beaver actually stopping rush hour traffic while concerned citizens tried and eventually helped the hapless animal. And last June I was witness to a rescue by passing motorists of a fragile soul, a fawn, unwittingly experiencing the traffic on Dogwood between the Simms Creek bridges. And there are countless other instances I could mention, unfortunately, this medium is not endless. Every day the people of Campbell River prove that courtesy, kindness, friendliness, compassion and generosity are alive and well in this beautiful city and have made us, as newcomers, feel welcome and very happy to call Campbell River home. It is special. Thank you. Sharon Herbut A waiting room full of big prickly thorns to the very loud, obnoxious woman who was yelling at who I assume was a fellow employee on Friday April 11 in the hallway outside the operating room of Campbell River Hospital. There was no respect shown to those of us who were waiting for friends or family in the OR and it made a stressful wait even more stressful. I have seen signs at various locations in the hospital warning against foul language and abusive behaviour. Does this sign only refer to the general public or does it include hospital employees as well? This woman seemed to be something of a bully and from what I understand VIHA has a strict policy against bullying. Also, from the way she was dressed I might have assumed she was a lead hand or super-

visor which was confirmed by an acquaintance. This was not the first time I witnessed such an uncomfortable situation between this woman and a coworker. The last one was near the lab waiting area on a Monday morning must have been a great start for the week for the housekeeper she was yelling at, as well as demeaning. No co-worker should be put in that situation at work for all to see and hear. If your employer does nothing to eliminate these outbursts then shame on them. In my opinion you should be handed your walking papers and shown the exit and VIHA should be enforcing their policies. Unimpressed All too frequently, and with a very heavy heart, I read yet another horrendous account of humans inflicting abuse on animals through neglect, violence and/or ignorance. These people need to be sequestered with a dedicated group of their peers and counselled until they reach a greater understanding and awareness of what they are doing. We need to recognize the consequence and impact of our actions in our communities. Well adjusted happy humans do not abuse other humans and animals. Our society is as strong as its weakest link. We are all responsible for making this planet a peaceful and productive place to live. Concerned Continued on page 8.

Roses&Thorns Email your submissions to editor@courierislander.com A city full of roses for all of you who took part in the ‘40 Days for Life’ campaign Outside the CR Hospital, you walked, carried signs, prayed and talked with people, hoping to save the lives of unborn babies. Apparently you did. I heard that three people decided not to abort their unborn child. Praise the Lord! I can understand how this campaign might upset a person who has had an abortion. You may have been in a circumstance where you had to make a difficult decision and you went through the horror of having an abortion. I can’t imagine the hurt you must feel inside. As one lady said, ‘guilt and depression can follow.’ But there is help. The Lord can heal the hurt and forgive you. He really can. He loves you. I believe that your baby is with God in heaven. There is a movie
at the theatre the next few weeks called, ‘Heaven is for Real’. I urge you to go and see it. You will be encouraged and realize that there is a God who loves us and forgives. We have all sinned. Again, thank you, thank you, to all who took part in the ‘40 Days for Life’ campaign. You made a difference! God bless you! Joy Holbrook Director C.R. Christian Healing Rooms A huge bouquet of roses to the lovely ladies at CURVES gym on Ironwood Road. On four different occasions Grades 9 and 10 girls from Timberline P.E. classes were given the opportunity to try out the awesome cardio and strength training workout for FREE. Our students had a great experience in their beautiful facility and enjoyed the personalized instruction. It was a great work out and we can’t wait to
bring future groups. Thanks again! Suzanne Berg & Terry Philp A wallet full of roses to Chuck of Chuck’s Small Boat and RV Hauling. He saw my wallet fly off my truck on 19A and my cards scatter all over the highway. He took the time to stop and gather everything up. Thanks for the phone call Chuck, you saved me from a very large headache!! Patrick A large bunch of roses to Jim and Dean from Servicepro who did not laugh when my husband said he hated plumbing and they found he was correct. Thank you for such a quick and efficient service, all with a great smile. Rhona Jones, Frazzled Wife of An Amateur Plumber No. 1 Autobody are our heroes. Our car has been hit twice in the

Henry, Terry and Jeff are craftsmen of the highest order. The lovely ladies in the office handled the paper work efficiently and had a great ‘loaner’ car ready for us. To all of you, our sincere thanks and appreciation. Peter and Doreen Kitchen Little arms loads of roses to Broadstreet Properties for the new-to-us computers, printers and toner that have allowed Leishman and Hemlock Early Learning and Care Centres to enter this millennium.

3pm to 3:45pm
Topic: Handle Stress by Eating Healthy
Doug Sloan Wine Wise Portugal is a rugged slip of a country on the Atlantic edge of the Iberian Peninsula. From Minho in the north-east all the way south to the Algarve there are grape vines and wines we seldom hear of in North America. They have been known to take the decidedly red Baga, Rufete, Tinta Barroca and Touriga Franca wine grapes and treat as if they were white wine grapes being made into a white wine. That is the basic recipe for the classic Mateus Rosé (166) $9.49. Slightly fizzy with dusty and delicate cherry and dry raspberry flavours, it finishes with an intriguing hint of spicy white pepper. In Portugal’s hot summers it is often difficult to keep grapes from ripening early and low in acidity. One response is to grow white grapes on vines trained up trees or up and over elaborate arbours. The object of the exercise is to grow the clusters of fruit under their own shady canopy and keep them ‘green’. Vinho Verde is the ‘green’ wine growing “Denominação Origem Controlada” region in the province of Minho on the north-east coast south of Spain’s Galicia. Despite being known for fresh and sassy, ‘spritzy’ white wines, ever so gently effervescent, this region is capable of producing substantial and lusciously unique wines of much more serious character. Popular affordable whites like Sogrape’s Gazela Vinho Verde (141432) $10.99 are not actually ‘green wines’, although bottling them in green or very pale blue-green glass can confuse the issue. Studied closely over a white surface, there are glints of bright lemon/green colour. Blended from local Loureiro, Trajadura, Azal and Pedernã winegrapes, this “typical” Vinho Verde deserves to be served chilled on the deck in the summer sunshine. Much less ‘typical’ from a small designated sub-region of Monção on the Spanish border Toucas Alvarinho (765974) $19.99 is also a
Vinho Verde by regional origin but a seriously full-throttle white made 100 per cent from the native Alvarinho wine grape. It is ‘dry’ and quite simply and surprisingly the most remarkable mouthful of honeyed golden pineapple and creamy lemon meringue pie flavours imaginable. Ripe blue-black damson plum and prunes flavours mingle with dark, spicy cherries in Ramos Pinto ‘Duas Quintas’ (428649) – marked down $2 to $15.99 until May 4. It is a blend of Tinta Roriz, Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional with a splash of Tinta Cão from two vineyard sites in Portugal’s Douro Valley - Quinta de Ervamoira and Quinta dos Bons Ares. An amazing value Crasto Douro Tinto (499674) $19.98 is twice the quality of any red you might get from another European wine-producing country in this price range. A blend of Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, Touriga Francesa and Touriga Nacional brimming with deep ripe cherry flavours slide into black raspberry. Spicy truffles and liquorice linger into leather and cedar wood. As in nearby Spain, there are still some traditionally made Portuguese wines that are intended to be kept for 10 years or more. Often the wineries themselves cellar the wines and release them years later, when they judge them to be near their peak. Caves São João Beiras Reserva (606459) $24.99 is a late release from the 2000 vintage. Densely coloured and deeply flavoured, this 14 year-old red needs a couple of years more in the cellar or an hour or two in a decanter to really come alive. A blend of Touriga Nacional and Baga, it exudes blue and black berry fruit flavours, underpinned by earthy minerality and peppery leather. Baga is a native wine grape, known for its high acidity and biting tannins. Uniquely Portuguese Campolargo Bairrada Baga (400093) $29.99 is an elegant and exceptionally smooth example of 100 per cent Baga, showing black cherry fruit, mushroom and truffle flavours in a framework that is more medium-bodied that full-bodied.

Quadra Island building among architecture award winners GLACIER NEWS SERVICE
Three B.C. projects have won recognition in a national competition that honours the best in Canadian architecture. The buildings — the Tula House on Quadra Island designed by Patkau Architects; North Vancouver’s City Hall by Micheal Green, now of Michael Green Architecture; and the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Centre for Drug Research and Development at the University of B.C. by Saucier + Perrotte Architectes and Hughes Condon Marler Architects — are being recognized with Governor General’s Medals in Architecture. The projects and nine others across the country were named winners of the award by the Canada Council for the Arts on Wednesday. Awards will be presented at a ceremony at Rideau Hall on May 13. The oceanside Tula House was described by the awards jury as “a spectacular house for a spectacular site” that is “in dynamic harmony with nature.” The North Vancouver City Hall project revitalized the existing municipal hall and added a tubelike structure between the hall and the adjacent library to connect them. The jury wrote that the project was “an elegant, restrained and sophisticated expansion to a small district municipal hall. ... The vocabulary is warm and refined, befitting a city hall’s place in the community.” The design was based on the concept of two trees whose foliage becomes fused

into an extensive network of branches. T he UBC building was described by the jury as being a “strong building with a strong concept, beautifully executed.” Other winners include: • 60 Richmond East Housing Co-Operative in Toronto by Teeple Architects; • Centennial College Athletic and Wellness Centre i n To r o n t o b y Ko n g a t s Architects; • Centre for International Governance Innovation Campus in Waterloo by KPMB Architects; • Joseph L. Rotman School of Management Expansion at the University of Toronto by KPMB Architects; • Mies van der Rohe gas station in Verdun, Quebec by Les Architects FABG; • OMS Stage in Winnipeg by 5468796 Architecture; • Raymond-Levesque Public Library in Saint-Hubert, Quebec by Atelier TAG and Jodoin Lamarre Pratte Architectes en consortium; • Residence for the Sisters of St. Joseph of Toronto by Shim-Sutcliffe Architects; • The Bloor Gladstone Library in Toronto by RDH Architects Inc. in association with Shoalts and Zabalt Architects. “Our built environments have a profound impact on our lives and communities,” Governor General David Johnston said in a news release announcing the winners. “That is why I am so pleased to honour the many talented Canadian architects at work today, including the recipients of this year’s Governor General’s Medals in Architecture.” The awards were created by RAIC/Architecture Canada and are administered jointly with the Canada Council for the Arts. The Royal Architectural Institute of Canada is a voluntary association established in 1907 to act as the voice of architects in Canada and represents about 4,800 members.

Another cat falls victim to hungry eagles “About 8 p.m. I witnessed an eagle swoop down to the ground and fly back up with a cat in its talons.” SIAN THOMSON COURIER-ISLANDER
Cat-nappings by resident eagles have spread south to the Ocean Grove area. Earlier this week young eagles were witnessed carrying away cats in their talons and dropping them on the beach area bordering the Anchor Inn. Witnesses believed cats wandering between 4th and 10th Avenues were at risk. On Wednesday night
Karen Smedegaard Holden reported that she had witnessed a similar ghastly site in the Ocean Grove area, leaving her ‘horrified’ and ‘stunned.’ “About 8 p.m. I witnessed an eagle swoop down to the ground and fly back up with a cat in its talons,” she said. “It all happened very quickly. Quite horrifying to see. This was in Ocean Grove and it was a cream

coloured cat. In case someone’s cream coloured/ very light ginger cat has disappeared, I want to let people be aware that they need to keep an eye on their cats and small dogs while they are outside.” The National Audubon Society reports that the pets most at risk from hunting birds of prey are small animals that spend time outdoors unsupervised. While bird attacks on pets are not common, birds have been recorded as attacking small dogs and puppies, especially toy
breeds, small cats and kittens, rabbits, guinea pigs, pet ducks or chickens. Any small pet, however, can be at risk from a bird attack. Large raptors will routinely attack animals that weigh up to 20 pounds as part of a hunt, and many birds of prey will attack even larger animals if the bird feels its nest or young is threatened. These events are being reported on the facebook page “Lost and Found animals of Campbell River.” If your cat or other small pet is missing, post it there. sthomson@courierislander.com
CLARIFICATION In the April 23 edition of the Courier-Islander the article about local eagles preying on cats featured a photo of a young eagle that resembles the two eagles observed taking cats. The photo, at left, did not credit the photographer, Linda Smith Anderson and it is not a photograph of the actual culprit, just a photo depicting a good likeness of the young eagles.
SPCA launches emergency medical site Have you ever felt helpless after seeing a story of animal cruelty in the news? Now you can take action to save the life of an injured or abused animal through a new emergency medical website launched by the BC SPCA this week. The new site (spca.bc.ca/medicalemergency) profiles injured animals current-
ly in the SPCA’s care and encourages donors to be part of their treatment and rehabilitation. “The BC SPCA cares for more than 25,000 injured, abused and abandoned animals every year across the province,” says Shoni Field, director of fundraising operations and innovation for the BC
SPCA. “Many of the animals require extensive — and expensive — emergency medical care and treatment, often exceeding the funds available in a shelter’s regular medical budget. Our online site is a way for us to connect injured animals with compassionate individuals .”

AMAZING! THANK YOU! For making our 8th annual
Dancing and Tapas
Rotary Wheelchair Fundraiser another Huge Success!
What began as a dream has now become a reality --- transforming the lives of children and adults throughout the world and in our local community through the gift of mobility. For eight years now the local Rotary clubs have hosted this annual event, Dances and Tapas, in order to raise funds for wheelchairs that can be delivered to those whose lives have been seriously handicapped by accidents or unfortunate birth circumstances. Rotarians and Friends recently returned from a delivery to South Africa and are in the midst of preparations for the delivery to Bolivia next January. Tonight’s event will benefit those in Viet Nam. Each year we are proud to distribute a container of 280 wheelchairs and experience the tears and the smiles that welcome a change in lifestyle. This eighth Wheelchair Foundation fundraiser would not be possible without countless volunteer hours and the generosity of so many that make this event a significant part of their lives. To date our collective efforts have raised money for wheelchair recipients in Peru, Venezuela, Argentina, the Philippines, Colombia and South Africa. The evening couldn’t be the success it is without the generosity of a community --- whether planning and preparing a unique ethnic meal, donating popular auction items, attending the Dances and Tapas evening or buying a wheelchair …. lives are transformed. Food, fellowship, and dance! We want you to know how much it means to us as an organization that believes in community and international service to know that you have taken time, energy, and a spirit of giving to be a vital part of such a memorable and fun filled evening. Please know that you have helped to make a tremendous difference to adults and children in Viet Nam whose lives will be forever changed when the wheelchairs are eventually delivered. Thank you for supporting “Service Above Self” within our local community and the larger global community. Thank you for giving with your heart and your contributions! Sincerely, Hansi Zihlmann Wheelchair Committee
Special thanks go to Marine Harvest for their donation of fresh salmon, and to Grieg Seafood for their donation of smoked Salmon, which everyone enjoyed, wonderfully prepared by our team of chefs. This event would not be possible without the support and co-operation of the North Island College by donating the facility and for helping set up the event, as well as chefs and students of the Culinary Arts Program who make our Dancing and Tapas events a truly unique and top gourmet experience on Vancouver Island!

PLANNING FOR LIFE Is it better to appoint one Executor or two? Both options have advantages and disadvantages. If you appoint Co-Executors it may work well if both Executors cooperate with each other, contribute their knowledge and support the difficult decision making. Many of my clients have commented that this option worked well for them. However, if the Co-Executors don’t like each other, don’t communiGurdeep Sidhu cate well, or Planning For Life have personality issues, then it could cause delays and be costly for the estate. Appointing one suitable Executor is the most commonly used option. Under this option, your sole Executor will be responsible for making all decisions on behalf of your estate. The decisions can be made quickly without the necessity of having other people agree to them. The disadvantage of appointing only one Executor may be if you do want to appoint your children as your Executors, but none of them are fully suitable. Further, he/she may not communicate with the beneficiaries, causing disputes in the family. The decision to appoint a sole Executor or Co-Executors depends on the capabilities of the individuals you are considering as Executor.

Andretti guilty of murdering wife, gets sentenced to 25 years in prison SIAN THOMSON COURIER-ISLANDER
After almost a year before the courts, Traigo Ehkid Andretti finally had his guilty plea accepted and will be spending the next 25 years in prison. On Wednesday in Campbell River Supreme Court, Andretti, 38, was convicted of first degree murder in the death of his wife, Jennifer McPherson, 41 and ‘improperly or indecently interfering with or offering an indignity to a dead human body”. After being reported missing on April 30, 2013, Crown Council told the Andretti and his wife Jennifer McPherson judge that McPherson had Roxanne Helme of Green since his May 2013 arrest. been strangled, burned, and and Helme.

represent himself. Andretti then told the judge he was going to plead not guilty and would have a lawyer for the next hearing. He never did. Andretti’s brother Jef Grubb was in the courtroom Wednesday to hear Andretti’s plea be accepted and his sentence. Andretti, bound with handcuffs and leg chains and sporting a newly grown beard, did not acknowledge his brother as he has done in previous appearances. He kept his head down when Crown Council David Fitzsimmons read the details of the crime, responded to the judge’s questions in a hushed tone that at times was barely audible, and was unemotional during the proceedings. He declined the opportunity to speak prior to sentencing. Justice Terrence Schultes said that it was to Andretti’s credit that he accepted responsibility for the crimes. “This was cruel and inhumane behavior and the planning and deliberation signals a coldness and profound disturbance at work in your life,” he told Andretti. “On Count Two (improperly or indecently interfering with or offering an indignity to a dead human body) I sentence you to two years, and on Count One (First Degree murder) I sentence you to life, 25 years without possibility of parole.” Both Andretti’s brother Jef and mother Jude, who was too emotional to attend today’s sentencing, were too upset to comment.

St. Peter’s Plant Sale May 3 COURIER-ISLANDER
The 53rd Annual Plant Sale is taking place at St. Peter’s Anglican Church parking lot on the corner of Dogwood and Pinecrest on Saturday, May 3. For 53 years this sale has contributed to the start and continuity of some great gardens in our community. Flowering perennials including shrubs, ground covers, rockery plants, hostas, iris, raspberry canes, rhubarb and strawberry plants, dahliah tubers and house plants make up some of the products available. “All plants and clippings are donated and we really never know what we are going to
get,” said Janna Bowers, one of the volunteers. “Sometimes the donations come in the day before so we really don’t know what is coming in until the last moment.” Bowers said there are always crowds outside the doors well before 9 a.m. and the lines are often stretching down the block. They have opened up overflow parking this year outside the Sikh Temple. “It is very important to bring something to carry your plants away with,” said Bowers. “Bring your little red wagon, something to take them away, not many people leave with just one or two things.” Proceeds from this event go to the Anglican Church.

Food Map release timed with Earth Day COURIER-ISLANDER
The highly anticipated Food Map was released on Wednesday, April 16 to coincide with the annual Earth Week Film Festival. It is available online at www. foodmap.campbellriver.ca. The Food Map was developed by the city in partnership with the Campbell River Chamber of Commerce and with funding from the Real Estate Foundation of BC to encourage the growing, sale, production, and consumption of local food products. “The map will help strengthen the local economy and support a positive business climate by promoting local businesses that offer unique agriculture and food products that are grown and produced in the community,” says Colleen Evans, President of the Campbell River Chamber of Commerce. “During the development of our Sustainable Official Community Plan, we heard from the community that access to locally grown food is important — as a healthy lifestyle choice,
and as a way to reduce environmental impacts associated with transportation of food,” said Councillor Larry Samson, who holds the council portfolio for the environment and community planning. “People are interested in community gardening, urban agriculture, and buying local food, and the Food Map will help support more opportunities for growing food in Campbell River. This project can also contribute to a local food culture in Campbell River and will help profile businesses that carry local products.” Primary goals of the City’s Agriculture Now Plan and the Sustainable Official Community Plan are the development of local food systems and access to local food markets. The plans also set food security and selfsufficiency targets for Campbell River, aiming for the capacity to grow the equivalent of 10 per cent of local food supply by 2031 and 50 per cent by 2060. To ensure that the Food Map meets the needs of the community, focus groups and interviews will take place in the coming months.

An example of volunteering for the ‘Relay’ COURIER-ISLANDER
You don’t have to have a personal experience with cancer to relay for life. Just ask Tawni Wilkins, an eight-year Campbell River Cancer Society volunteer who believes that volunteering is a way to lead by example for her son. Wilkins decided to become a Relay For Life volunteer because she felt that it was an emotional and meaningful event and she wanted to connect herself with it. Her inspiration for volunteering is her son. She was raised in an old-fashioned way to have good manners and contribute to the community. She wants to pass that along to the next generation.
While Wilkins does not have personal experience with cancer she has watched it affect many of her friends and family and witnessed second and third hand how it affects families and devastates lives. “Now that I am a mom I want my son to be a leader in the community,” she said. “I could tell him what I want, but I feel I need to lead by example.” This month, the Canadian Cancer Society is looking for volunteers to join the Relay For Life Committee in Campbell River. Wilkins said she wants to encourage others to get involved with Relay For Life. “What I have gotten out of it is a tremendous sense of community and the sense of community is amazing and it feels

come together, and how emotional it is, especially during the survivor’s walk and dinner. Volunteering isn’t something Wilkins feels like she needs praise for, she believes that the pay-off is seeing the event come together, and how emotional it is, especially during the survivor’s walk and dinner.

any routine printed, written, or electronic communication, receive any printed, written, or electronic communication from an administrator or be at a worksite prior to one hour before commencement of instructional time and one hour after the end of instructional time, other than for pre-arranged voluntary activities.

SAFETY
Preparedness courses COURIER-ISLANDER
Eighty five per cent of Canadians agree that having an emergency kit is important to ensure both their personal and family’s safety, yet only 40 per cent have actually prepared or purchased an emergency kit. In BC there are over 54 types of hazard risks with earthquakes/tsunami, climate change, wildfires, landslides, floods and house/apartment fires being a few of the top ones. Something to think about:
- On Vancouver Island we all face the risk of an earthquake. - Back in November 2012 and on September 2011 there were two over 6.0 on the Richter Scale and the latter was felt in Campbell River and Quadra Island. Remember what happened during the severe wind storm of March 2012 in Campbell River?

On board for this five night cruise is a museum curator who will share a wealth of stories about the people and places on this tour. “This is an active trip,” says Campbell, “we take people out two and three times a day to see untouched watersheds or to explore old homesteads.” Participants will meet some contemporary residents as well. Billy Proctor of Echo Bay, a legendary resident of the Broughton Archipelago, will show his private museum. “Billy’s lifestyle and knowledge of the coast is impressive,” says Campbell. The group may also visit a reoccupied
to Kingcome Inlet. As the boat moves north the scenery becomes increasingly majestic and remote. “Some highlights,” says skipper Ross Campbell, “aside, from the amazing scenery, are the old First Nations village sites in the Broughtons.” Most of these, says Campbell, have been abandoned for several generations, though the white clam shell beaches attest to thousands of years of occupation. Rock art throughout the region is another special feature, as are the vestiges of old homesteads from the 1890s. The impeccably maintained Hansen store and farm at Port Neville is in stark contrast to the crumbling remains of the Halliday’s cattle

NIC offering jewellery and metal art workshops COURIER-ISLANDER
L
ooking for ways to be creative this summer? Join accomplished Canadian jewellery designers at North Island College this July. The Jewellery and Metal Art Workshops offer a unique opportunity to develop your metal jewellery skills on Vancouver Island. In just two concentrated weeks, you can take one or more multi-day courses from expert instructors. “We had a wide variety of people and levels last year and it was a lot of fun,” said Wayne MacKenzie, a designer and goldsmith. “Participants really enjoyed being creative and getting ideas from each other and instructors. I was impressed at the level of the student work.” MacKenzie teaches the first series workshop, Creating Jewellery and Small Sculpture with Low-Tech Casting. “Low-tech casting allows students to create beautiful and creative pieces without
the high cost of most modern casting equipment,” he said. Joan Irvin from the Alberta College of Art and Design returns to NIC for a second season to teach Introduction to the Art of Enamelling. “Enamelling provides such a wonderful opportunity to enrich metal surfaces with colour, decoration, and imagery — there are so many techniques to explore,” Irvin said. “People tend to think of Faberge’s cloisonné, but there are numerous other techniques, both traditional and modern. Students will be encouraged to find the one that’s right for them, versus simply learning to reproduce grandma’s jewellery.” Irvin also teaches Jewellery Making with Found Objects & Recycled Materials. Participants design and create wearable pieces of personal significance, incorporating their own tiny treasures or recycled jewellery. Cheryl Jacobs, a Denman Island jewellery designer,
returns this year with a workshop on Hollowform Rings. Students will design and create two rings incorporating set stones and bezel settings. Students will practice their shaping, piercing, texturing, soldering skills as well as using the rolling mill. Canadian artist Bev de Jong teaches Torch-Created Surfaces for Jewellery Making. de Jong will demonstrate two different torch methods, opening up unlimited design possibilities. de Jong creates metal sculpture, art jewellery and mixed media wall reliefs. She exhibits her pieces across Canada and around the globe and has won numerous awards for her work. For more information, you can attend a free information session in NIC’s metal jewellery design studio Saturday, May 24 or Thursday, June 5 in Campbell River. Register online using the course code GENI-1212. Alternatively, call Julia Peters 250-923-9724 or email julia.peters@nic.bc.ca.
This is an example of what you can create with the NIC’s jewellery and metal workshops.

Local students learn CPR, AED COURIER-ISLANDER
Each year, more than 400 Campbell River students will learn to save lives through a new program. On Tuesday teachers from Carihi and Timberline secondary schools attended a workshop where they were trained to empower their students with CPR and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) skills through the award-winning ACT High School CPR and AED Program. The program is built on a strong community-based model of partnerships and support, whereby the ACT Foundation helps communities find local partners who donate CPR and AED training mannequins, AED training units, teacher training and curriculum materials that schools need to set up the program. Teachers then teach CPR and AED skills to their students as a regular part of the curriculum, reaching all youth prior to graduation. Thanks to a donation from RBC, the two secondary schools will each receive AED training mannequins, AED training units, curriculum materials as well as an AED for in-school cardiac arrest emergencies in case a student, staff or visiting community
member suffers a sudden cardiac arrest at the school. “At RBC we believe the health and wellness of local communities is of vital importance,” says Matthijs Bruining, RBC Branch Manager, Campbell River. “We are proud to be long-time supporters of the ACT Foundation and are thrilled to be the community partners bringing CPR and AED training to School District 72 Campbell River secondary schools.” The Advanced Coronary Treatment (ACT) Foundation is working in partnership with British Columbia Emergency Health Services (BCEHS), British Columbia Ambulance Service (BCAS) and RBC to bring this program to Campbell River. ACT’s health partners, who are committed to bringing the AED program to these schools and to secondary schools across Canada, are AstraZeneca Canada, Pfizer Canada and Sanofi Canada. “We are thrilled with the support of ACT’s partners, who have made this lifesaving program possible,” said ACT Foundation Executive Director Sandra Clarke. To date, the ACT Foundation has set up the ACT High School CPR Program in more than 1,600 high schools nation-wide.
At the presentation were Natalie Ward, Suzanne Berg, Jeremy Morrow, Ferris Stirling, Suzanna Blakemore, Joedy Williams, Debbie Seymour, Kim Suurhoff, Manager Client Care, RBC Campbell River; Shannon Hagen, Diana Lontayo, Meghan MacDougall, Angel Murphy

Storm make a pair of moves
Former Riverites making their mark on the cycling world
COURIER-ISLANDER
Campbell River Storm head coach and director of hockey operations Lee Stone continues to have a busy off-season, making a pair of moves Wednesday. The first was the re-acquisition of forward Colin Blake (1996), who spent a season and a half with the Storm before joining the Sicamous Eagles. The second move was the commitment of forward Christian Brandt (1996) from the Okanagan Hockey Academy prep team. Blake, from Maple Ridge, was acquired in a trade with the Sicamous Eagles of the KIJHL. He first played for the Storm in his 16-year-old season and parts of the next year before joining the Eagles. While with the Storm, Blake tallied 16 goals, 19 assists for 35 points in 65 games as well as adding 34 penalty minutes. In 25 games with the Eagles this past season Blake contributed very well offensively scoring eight goals, and adding 11 assists for 19 points. Blake is expected to bring a nose for the net and a high end offensive skill set back into the Storm lineup. “I am very excited to be back in front of an amazing fan base and such an incredibly supportive city,” said Blake. “I am looking to be a key guy this upcoming year and I expect myself to be a leader on and off the ice and be a mentor for some of the younger players coming up.” Brandt, from Duncan, has spent the last two seasons with the Okanagan Hockey Academy prep team playing in one of the best Midget programs in all of British Columbia. Two seasons ago, Brandt also spent time with the now moved Penticton Lakers of the KIJHL. This past season he tallied 11 goals, and 16 points in 42 games while adding 12 penalty minutes.

The Campbell River Windsor Plywood Midget A Ravens played a couple of Vancouver Island Midget Lacrosse League games last weekend. The first one was at the friendly confines of Rod Brind’Amour Arena as they hosted the Peninsula Warriors Saturday. Despite missing a few key players, the Ravens played as a team which helped to limit the Warriors’ chances in the early going although Peninsula did get on the scoreboard first. The Ravens Nolan Fair was able to make a sick deke then tucked the ball into the top corner over the goalie’s shoulder to tie the score at 1-1. Peninsula then added a couple of goals to lead 3-1 at the end of the first period. Early in the second, and with time running down on the shot-clock, Nolan Morrison wired a wicked shot on goal that found the back of the onion bag. Later in the period, he followed that with another long distance shot that was just inside the post to tie the score at 3-3. The Ravens earned their first lead of the season as Morrison spotted Ross Rickman breaking hard towards the Warrior goal on a transition. He fired a long-bomb pass that just eluded Rickman’s basket. The loose ball caromed off the boards and was scooped up by Fair who then buried it See Ravens on page 37.

Comets Track Club off to a ‘sweet’ start COURIER-ISLANDER
The Campbell River Comets Track Club, along with the Campbell River Christian School (CRCS) track team, began the 2014 track season with the inaugural Candy Apple Cross-Country Relay Race. Held Thursday, April 10, at the Sportsplex, each member of a four-person team ran a 1,200m loop. The teams were randomly drawn and consisted of Storm from page 35. Junior hockey experience with the Lakers, Brandt added two goals in three games, a sign of good things to come. “I am most excited about the great fans and community that support us in town, my goal for the season is to help the team wherever possible to get two points every night we step on the ice,” said Brandt. “I hope to help bring back a championship to Campbell River and take my game to the next level (Junior A) and beyond.” Blake and Brandt are both expected to be in Campbell River for camp Aug. 1, when the season begins for the Storm. “Bringing Colin back into the Storm organization was a no brainer,” said Stone. “We were happy to be able to give him the opportunity to get more ice time and develop in Sicamous. The entire organization feels strongly about the skill level and production he will bring to our lineup.” Stone was equally excited about Brandt donning a Storm jersey. “Hard work and character are two things we emphasize

They didn’t and as a result they weren’t able to move the ball into the attacking zone. The Warriors made them pay for that transgression as they worked an odd-man attack to find the open side of the net and score to tie it at 4-4. The Warriors took advantage of a small lapse in defensive zone coverage as a shooter got his own rebound and buried it to retake the lead. At the ensuing faceoff, Morrison got the ball and took it in on a partial breakaway, rippling the twine to tie the score at 55 at the end of the second period. The Ravens kept working hard but weren’t able to put another one past the Warrior goalie. Cameron Hunter, Josh Fladager, Kodie Borton, Matt Leard, Quinn Pedersen, Lukas Lund and Liam Rivett were all working to deny the Warriors an easy path to the net. Kari Martynyk wasn’t shy about matching up against any offensive player and created a few turnovers. Unfortunately, trips to the sin bin allowed the Warriors to take advantage of power plays and put a couple of goals on the board to win the game by a score of 7-5. Easter Sunday had the

Ravens travel to Panorama Arena in Sidney to play Saanich Tigers A1. This game was also a lesson in how to play Canada’s national summer sport. The Tigers had 18 runners and every player ran their heart out whenever they stepped on the floor. The under-manned Ravens were caught flatfooted at times by the higher tempo the Tigers established. Saanich’s offence employed the pick-and-roll techniques as well as double-screens to free the shooter from prime spots. Cole Gent had the check of the game as he bagged a Tiger, putting the shooter on his backside and the ball on the floor. The loose ball was scooped up by Fair who took it coast-to-coast and buried it behind the Tiger goalie to ruin his shutout bid. The Tigers won by a final score of 11-1. The Windsor Plywood Midget A Ravens next game is at home Saturday, April 26, at 3:30 p.m. against Juan de Fuca A1. The team would like to give a shout-out to the Intermediate B Ravens who are starting their season on Sunday, April 27, beginning at 3:15 p.m. at Rod Brind’Amour Arena against Juan de Fuca. This team has some familiar faces on the roster including a few players from the Comox Valley.

We recently sold a bike to a distinJames Durand guished gentleman who had My Spin On ventured off road just a bit with his Your Ride hybrid bike; He loved it and wanted to try a bit more mountain biking. Obviously the hybrid was not the right bike, so he got himself set up with a mountain bike and appropriate gear, and off he went to experience the Beaver Lodge lands. He is clearly an adventurer since within just a couple rides, he wanted to explore the Snowden Forest, but thought it might be too technical. Well this got me thinking again about all the intermediate riding in the Snowden Forest. You don’t need to be a pro rider or adrenalin junkie to ride many of the trails in Snowden. There are loops that will have you riding anywhere from one to three hours that will appeal to beginner or intermediate mountain bikers. You can find smoother terrain or something that will challenge you just enough to make it fun, but not frustrating. And depending on your fitness, you can find some good climbing and descending, or some flatter trails that will have you enjoying the amazing scenery. So if you’ve been wondering about exploring more trails, but not sure about Snowden, try the Lost Frog Loop or the Lost Lake Loop, or just drop in and see us at Swicked for some great suggestions. There is something out there for almost everyone, so don’t be shy. This week’s Swicked Tip: So you’re venturing off to some new riding areas and trying something new. Here are a couple tips to keep you safe. • Try to never ride alone. Safety in numbers is a great rule of thumb. If something does go wrong its good to have a riding buddy to help you out. • If you are alone, tell someone where you’re going and when you plan to return. If you get stuck at least you can be tracked down. • Take a map. It’s easy to get turned around in the forest and a map can keep you on track. • Be prepared. Carry a spare tube, some basic tools and a jacket. This can save you a long walk home and keep you warm and dry. I’m James Durand and I’m Goin’ Ridin’.

Woodburn Storm Drain project out to tender NEIL CAMERON COURIER-ISLANDER
The Woodburn Storm Drain project is one step closer to reality. The city of Campbell River opened up official tenders for the work that will residents are hoping will solve flooding problems. This contract includes the following generalized scope of work: The contract on the city site
says the work includes, but is not limited to, “all supervision, construction, equipment, labour, material, permits and related items required for the supply and installation of culverts including both HDPE and concrete complete with headwalls, storm sewer, new ditch construction, ditch clean-out, farm fencing and other minor improvements.” The are affected by the project are from approximately 2188 Park Road easterly to Ida Road
then northerly to the end then across the Holly Hills Farm to Woodburn Road, then from approximately 2200 Woodburn Road easterly to 2020 Woodburn Road, then northerly and downstream to Highway 19A at 2480 Island Highway. The Holly Hills Farm has been a consistent item on council agendas over the years. The farm has suffered from flooding caused by some problems, including improper ditch-
ing and improper drainage from nearby residential development. “We understand that there is a window of opportunity in the spring when the ditch can be cleaned out, addressed, and maintained without harming any potential fish habitat, but this has not occurred in over 15 years,” said Holly Hills owner Katie Denne. “The city knows there is a substantial problem, as they paid for a 72 page ‘Storm Water Management Plan’ assess-
ment addressing the issues. This was published back in March of 2004, and even the minimum ‘action options’ to control and/or maintain water control has not been completed. There is also some pertaining points in the ‘Campbell River Agricultural Plan’ addressing the city’s desire to support up and coming farms with drainage engineering and so forth; however, our farm still lays underwater.”

Behind every work zone cone is a worker in a vulnerable position. Each cone stands for someone’s father, mother, son, or daughter. That’s why it’s important to know that thousands of people working by the roadside in B.C. are counting on you to slow down and drive with care when approaching a “Cone Zone.“
