Shovelwielding taxpayer delivers message to council KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

ALISTAIR TAYLOR/THE MIRROR

Mayor Charlie Cornfield, backed by Kerry Amos of Tyee Marine (left) and Andrea Knowles of Rivercorp and K.C. the dog, uses Tyee Marine’s landmark chinook model to urge Campbell Riverites to vote for their town as the Ultimate Fishing Town in Canada.

Make Campbell River ‘Ultimate Fishing Town, 2011’

t’s official: the City of Campbell River, Tyee Marine and the Campbell River Economic Development Corporation (Rivercorp) have created a partnership to nominate and promote Campbell River for the World Fishing Network’s contest “Ultimate Fish-

ing Town Canada 2011.” “Even if you are busy fishing, take the time to tell everyone why Campbell River is the ‘reel’ Salmon Capital of the World!” says Mayor Charlie Cornfield. “Tell them why we’ve got the best opportunities for saltwater, lake and river fishing. We’re

angling to get the attention we deserve and ultimately, lure more fisher folk to Campbell River.” Campbell River is known for its famous resident Roderick Haig-Brown who was an avid fly-fisher, a pioneering conservationist, an acclaimed author

Doug Robson approached city council Monday morning, lugging a big, bulky bag down to the speaker’s table. No one could have guessed there were props inside Robson’s bright green sack. As Robson told council it needs to find a way to save money, he whipped out a gold-plated shovel. “We don’t want it and we don’t need it,” said Robson. Then, he bent down again and from his bag came up with a plain old, steel shovel. “This is what we need,” said Robson. “No perks, no frills. “If I can find savings, why can’t our city manager? Manage our money, find ways to reduce expenses and be that city manager your resume says you are,” Robson told new city manager Andy Laidlaw. Robson also pleaded with council to not raise residential taxes. Continued on Page A4

Mirror back issues donated to museum It was a good week for the past and the future at the Campbell River Mirror last week. Forty years of Campbell River’s history as chronicled by the Mirror were turned over to the Campbell River Museum and Archives. Limited room in the Mirror’s office had us eyeing up shelf space being taken up by copies of every issue of the paper since 1970. “You can’t just toss 40 years into the recycling bin,” said Mirror editor Alistair Taylor. Fortunately, a home was found for all those stories – the Campbell River Museum. Museum management responded with an enthusiastic yes when asked if there was anything that could be done with all those papers. They have now been accepted into the museum’s archival collection to be retained for posterity. The value of the papers became immediately apparent when local geneologists got word of the donation. They’re eagre to glean all the infor mation they can from birth, death and marriage announcements in the old editions. But just as we have to reconcile with the past, we also must move into the future and the Mirror has a new archival system. Visitors to our website (www.campbellr i v e r m i r r o r. c o m )

Mill closure, RCMP contract biggest budget hits KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Council is wrestling with the decision to raise taxes or eliminate city services in order to erase a $1.59 million deficit. The Catalyst Elk Falls mill closure and a new RCMP contract are the most significant factors in a tough 2011 budget. The city is feeling the impact of a $1.37 million reduction in taxes collected from Catalyst plus a further reduction of $350,000 as a result of decreased hydro consumption by the mill. The RCMP budget,

which is negotiated by the federal government, has increased $335,000 over last year, a big tug on the city’s purse strings. “This is a very difficult year for council,” said city manager Andy Laidlaw, during financial deliberations on Monday. “Money is short at this time. People have asked why taxes would go up and there are essentially two areas why – a demand for new services with increasing costs and declining revenues.” To b a l a n c e t h e city’s $65 million budget council has two options: Cut services

“

THEY SAID IT: “This is a

very difficult year for council.” – Andy Laidlaw, City Manager

or raise taxes. C i t y s t a f f h ave already made several cuts in five different departments, freeing up $1.80 million, and there’s not much more left to cut. “If council chooses to further reduce operational budgets, it is recommended selected services be discontin-

ued,” said Laidlaw. That leaves a tax increase. Laidlaw has created one model with an eight per cent tax increase across all tax classes, or a 13 per cent increase for residential taxpayers. That would result balancing this year’s budget as well as making up for another anticipated budget shortfall in 2012. Another option is a two per cent increase across the board, or a 6.55 per cent increase to the residential taxpayers, but Laidlaw said that would only remedy the 2011 budget deficit.

What that translates to into property taxes would vary because the tax is determined by m u l t i p l y i n g a home’s assessment – as determined by the B.C. Assessment Authority – by the tax rate. The city is not the only body that determines the tax rate; the school district, Strathcona Regional District, Regional District Hospital, Vancouver Island Re g i o n a l L i b r a r y, Municipal Finance Authority and B.C. Assessment Authority all play a part, but city taxes make up 50 per cent of total property taxes. Residential taxpayers

make up 60.3 per cent of the city’s tax base, with the business class contributing about 21 per cent, followed by major industrial at 15 per cent. In a 2010 survey of 16 municipalities across B.C., Campbell River had the 90th highest taxation rate. Per capita, Campbell River taxpayers dole out $786 a year while Mission and Penticton, with similar sized populations, pay $706 and $741 in municipal taxes respectively. Coun. Ziggy Stewart assured those in attendance at day one of financial deliberations that council, “is

putting a lot of work into this (budget).” Mayor Charlie Cornfield said this budget is the most significant he has worked on during his 12 years on council. “Our actions over the next few days will determine how Campbell River goes into the future,” said Cornfield. “We have to decide whether we go forwards, backwards, stay the same or invest in our future.” Financial talks continued Tuesday after the Mirror went to press and resume today and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. daily.

Budget: City council hammered for spending habits Continued from Page 1

He said this year his pension payments have increased by $15.71

spectators. “Ladies and gentlemen, zero increase is all I can afford, thank-you.” Robson was one of seven Campbell Riverites who used the delegation period on day one of council’s financial deliberations to provide input into the 2011 budget. Lorne Harron, who spoke on behalf of the new United Rate Payers group, said members are concer ned about council’s spending habits. “City spending is out of control and has been for years,” said Harron. “You don’t ever concern yourself with what you spend, you just milk the cash cow to death.” Harron noted that even when Elk Falls mill was up and running and the city was booming, his taxes still went up year after

the hole. “Let’s get on with balancing the budget,” said Foort. “If we have to have a little tax increase this year we’ll live with it. “If (a city service) doesn’t put bread on the table or pay the rent, get rid of it.” Cor nfield replied “there’s never been a good time to raise taxes and we’ve all been under pressure to cut services and not raise taxes. “But we’re at the point we can’t cut much further or we may have to eliminate some services.” “Like a family we have to tighten our belts and eliminate nice-to-do’s. We have to learn to just say no,” said Cornfield. “We can’t keep expecting the city to do it all and not see costs increase.”

year. “I don’t understand how you can blame the situation on the mill,” he told council. “Admit it, you’ve never been able to control your spending and you never will. Just stop wasteful spending.” Harron also blamed council for the lack of people who showed up to provide input into the budget during three open houses as well as delegation sessions prior to three council meetings last month. “Please don’t ask for our input because you’re not interested,” said Harron. “And I don’t want you to get the impression that most of these people are here today because you invited them; it’s because I invited them,” said Harron, referring to the full gallery.

Companies urged to bid for jobs on big hydro project KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Local companies need to get going quickly to capitalize on the billion-dollar hydro revitalization project. Steve Watson of BC Hydro recently told city council that hundreds of jobs will be created through the upcoming replacement of the John Hart Generating Station. And the Campbell River Chamber of Commerce is planning to offer assistance in securing some of those job opportunities. The Chamber, along with the Vancouver Island Construction Association and the Vancouver Island Economic Alliance, are forming partnership that will help local businesses compete for jobs. Watson said the project will create about 400 jobs a year. “I would encourage community leaders to meet with the bidders early on,” said Watson. The John Hart Generating Station Replacement Project’s procurement process formally begins mid-2011 with a request for qualifications, followed by a

request for proposal to short-listed proponents in late 2011 with the project awarded by late 2012. Construction could begin at the end of 2012 and last for about five years. “It’s very beneficial that BC Hydro is sharing preliminary information about the replacement project so early in the procurement process,” said Colleen Evans, the Chamber’s executive director. “It gives us the ability to work together as a community to prepare for the project as it nears construction.” The Vancouver Island Construction Association, for its part, will work with BC Hydro to showcase local businesses. “In a procurement process for a large project like John Hart, our membership is not typically contacted by the competing proponents,” said association president Greg Baynton. “If they are contacted, it would not be until the contract has been for mally awarded. “To be engaged by BC Hydro months before the formal initiation of the procurement process, is helpful in

encouraging the proponents to communicate with business leaders after the request for tender is issued and before the award.” The scope of the John Hart Dam replacement project includes replacing the three steel pipelines from the John Hart Reservoir with a two-kilometre tunnel, constructing a new generating station and re-doing the Brewster Lake Road bridge. BC Hydro and community business leaders will begin sharing information about the project with companies and customers in Campbell River, and across Vancouver Island, in April. Through the Vancouver Island Economic Alliance’s “Linking Island Businesses” event on April 13, BC Hydro will present infor mation about the project, including procurement and high level construction information and then again the following day, on April 14, at a BC Hydro-sponsored chamber of commerce luncheon. For more information about the luncheon, call 250-287-4636 or visitwww.campbellriverchamber.ca

OPINION HERO – Klari Varallyai at the Campbell River Physiotherapy Clinic. Klari has been working with me since 2007 and has been very helpful, even coming to my home. After my most recent surgery, with Klari’s help, I’m happy to say I am again able to walk without assistance –- first time in four years. Klari is a pleasure to work with, and I’m also enjoying the camaraderie shared with the other clients at the clinic. – Shirley Falconer HEROES – The Peewee B Tyees would like to acknowledge a few Heroes in our midst… specifically, everyone who supported their gala fundraiser on Fri Feb. 18 at Shelter Point Distillery. Platinum sponsors 99.7 The River and Marine Harvest plus gold sponsor Mainstream Biological Consulting definitely rose to the occasion and helped ensure that the event was a success. The Trevor Linden jersey was sold at the live auction for more than $1,000. Samples from Shelter Point Distillery, Coastal Black Wineries and Surgenor Breweries were greatly appreciated on a cold and frosty night. Wilson’s Transportation provided exceptional limousine-like service using a 51 passenger bus. They even drove everyone home rather than returning them to the original pick-up points at Rod Brind’Amour arena and Sportsplex. Special heroine-of-the-event honours to Kim Doney and all of the volunteers, heroes and heroines, who helped make this event a really wonderful time for all. – Tyee B Parents + Peewee Tier

Heroes & Zeros

3 BC Championship Committee. HEROES – The staff at Barrie Brown Nissan. I have never seen or had such honest work until meeting the staff, especially Bill and Dave in Service Department. Your honesty and integrity is unparalleled. I love my GMC Sierra and I’ll continue to be a customer of Barrie Brown regardless of the changes to the dealership brand. – John M Sexton. HEROES – Marine Harvest Canada for sponsoring our women’s mid-Island soccer team, the Marine Harvest Bandits. Most of the community will be well aware of the sponsorships that Marine Harvest offers to the winning teams in town, as you’ll see the write ups in our local papers and hear of their winnings on the local radio stations. But, many people may not realize that Marine Harvest also sponsors some of the underdog teams in town, such as ours. We’re a bunch of keen, fun, middle-aged women competing in a league full of much younger women.

PLANT AND JUMBLE SALE & AUCTION Saturday, April 9, 2011 9am - 12pm C.R. Community Centre 401-11th Avenue Campbell River Great buys on plants and garden accessories. Huge “jumble” of garage sale treasures. Homemade baking and crafts.

Parks, Recreation and Culture Department C.R. Community Centre 250 286-1161 Sportsplex 250 923-7911

We work our butts off, and try our best, and we can’t thank Marine Harvest enough for their support over the past four years. They sure don’t get a lot of bragging rights with our team, but we want them to know how grateful we are for their encouragement and sponsorship and that we’re very proud to wear their logo on our uniforms. – Sincerely, the Marine Harvest Bandits Women’s Soccer Team.

What a wonderful group of ladies. My heartfelt thanks to all for Tuesday night. A thank you also to my pride and joy Barb and my wonderful friend Caryl. – Young at heart HEROES – KLP Construction Atom Hawk team attended the Gold River Tournament. They played against the local Gold River team, Nanaimo and our local Atom Cougars. Thanks go to KLP Construction for generously supporting our Atom house division. – Michelle Downey.

HEROES – The Newcomers of Campbell River. In 2006 I moved to Campbell River, after five months I decided it was time to go out and meet people. Checking in the paper for a group that did walks I noticed the Newcomers so phoned, it is the best call I have made since living in CR.

HEROES – The staff at the Campbell River Hospice Society would like to send out a great big thank you to the team at Scotiabank because they thought of the Hospice Society when wanting to donate recent

PUBLISHER: Zena Williams publisher@campbellrivermirror.com

EDITOR: Alistair Taylor editor@campbellrivermirror.com

Our View

Important vote coming up Okay, it’s a cheesy promotion designed to drive viewers to a website – goodness knows, we here at the Campbell River Mirror can understand that. We say: Nobody But when people start laying claims to being the ultimate fishing beats us as top town in Canada, we here in the fishing town Salmon Capital of the World get a little up in arms, so to speak. When without a fight the World Fishing Network launched its Ultimate Fishing Town poll last year –promising to give the winning community $25,000 for fishing-

related community work – Campbell Riverites put out the call to arms. They may have started a little too late – how else do you explain Port Alberni, of all places, winning? This year, however, the word is out early and Campbell Riverites are being urged to get on the bandwagon, or, at least, their computers and vote for Campbell River on the specialty television channel’s website (www.wfnfishingtown.ca/home). Voting begins on April 12, so we’ve got time to muster the troops and exercise those button-pushing fingers. Fishing’s something that’s near and dear to our

hearts and we’re not letting some other community stake a claim to being the ultimate fishing town – whether its deserved or not – without a fight. Last year’s vote generated a lot of discussion in town and word was passed around urging anybody and everybody to vote. The interest was high so let’s give this our best shot this year. It’s all ultimately for fun – although the publicity generated for our city and region would not go amiss – and $25,000 could be put to good use so why not get on board? Cast your vote.

Good point: City Hall The headlines in the local newspapers lately are just staggering: 1. 13.1 per cent tax hike discussed 2. Still no word on the “fix” for 19A bottleneck 3. City looks at downtown – Willow Pt. Trolley Is every member of City Hall, (staff and council) not thinking clearly or what? ■ 13.1 per cent tax hike – anything over the inflation rate of 2-3 per cent at the worst is just ludicrous. Start cutting not yesterday but the day before. ■ 19A Bottleneck – Put the bottleneck in, take the bottleneck out, then put it back in hopefully one last time. At a cost of two extra times to many. I would have liked to of seen that money spent on the Northern Entrance, “just once – Campbellton.” Yes Neglected Campbellton. ■ Downtown-Willow Pt. Trolley – If we’re going to squander money again, why is it that Campbellton is not in this loop? It is one straight shot north/south covering the two main entrances with very little extra cost. As mentioned in the Friday March 18 article, maybe “City Council” would tell “The City Manager” to tell “The Director of Operations” to tell “The Transport Manager” to tell “The Traffic Specialist and Staff ” to fix all of the above. Maybe we should cut out some of the staff, cut, cut and cut again. In closing, I would like to say to any person of good sound mind and of course a mind of their own that is seriously running for council this November that I will be around for support. Ted Arbour

Election signs are like flowers, but without the beauty

Paul Rudan No, really

While the media and public were busy speculating on the “possible federal election” last week, the Tories were already busy at the sign printers. I should have realized an election call was imminent when North Island MP John Duncan held two media phone conferences in two consecutive days. Thinking back through the years, I’m hard-pressed to recall the longserving MP offering two media chats within the span of an entire year. H’mm, maybe even a decade. Perhaps I’m wrong, but two media phone conferences within a week for the MP, who’s also Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs, is like a fullfledged speaking tour.

What was interesting were Duncan’s comments that the Conservative party “wasn’t looking forward” to an election, but are always “election ready.” I had my doubts, but the North Island Tory machine proved me wrong. As I was heading into the city on Sunday morning, I saw the party members busily hammering stakes into the ground and posting campaign signs. Very, very new-looking blue campaign signs, I should add. True, they could be holdovers from any one of the last couple of federal votes, but I don’t think so. After three or four rain storms, the Tory blue becomes violet, the true Grit red turns to pink, the NDP orange fades to mellow yellow and the

Green party colour turns to moss. I like to think of the fading colours as an analogy for the parties themselves: What looks shiny and bright at the beginning, can quickly become dull, wrinkled and falling apart. Sometimes the remnants are mournfully collected and put to rest, and sometimes they just degrade into dirt. You know, ashes to ashes and all that stuff. Anyhow, while the busy-bee Tories were out on a lovely Sunday, defacing the natural beauty of the North Island with election propaganda, the other parties were nowhere to be seen. I imagine it takes time to find the right rouge for the Liberal red; the New Democrats are still search-

ing for a union print shop; and the Greens are still working out a deal with Kindergarten students to fingerpaint their signs on biodegradable cardboard. It won’t take them long and soon every busy corner will be filled with election signs which are about as unsightly as gangs of scruffy teenagers hanging out smoking. And speaking of louts or loutish behaviour, this is just the first round of election signs this year. Come November, a whole new crop of municipal election signs will pop up over what’s left of the federal campaign placards. Think of them as tulips following the daffodils, minus the beauty, of course.

Peewee championships were big success Kudos to the hosting committee for the Peewee Tier 3 Provincial Hockey Championship. Your courtesy and professionalism shown to the participating

hockey teams and parents was outstanding. Campbell River Minor Hockey was an excellent ambassador for the city. Josie Rohn and the maintenance staff of

Strathcona Gardens did an excellent job of keeping the arena and dressing areas clean and in good repair. Kudos to all the businesses that supported this event.

It’s that ’70s political show, again As the federal parliament slid once again into partisan mayhem, former finance minister John Manley was on CBC television, making me wish he would bring his voice of reason back to Ottawa. Liberal and NDP supporters had been taking turns with accusations that the Conservatives’ corporate tax cuts only help the rich. “That’s stuff that we used to hear in the ’70s,” Manley said. “I thought that people had grown away from that.” He then patiently explained that the key holdings most in peoples’ retirement plans are bank, petroleum and other blue-chip stocks. His Liberal government’s strategy of competing for business investment in a global economy has wisely been continued under Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Yet much of our political discourse at all lev-

els of government still ing the tax argument imagines class warfare amid all the noise. If the HST vote had between tycoons in silk top hats and a ragged, been left to September, more people might powerless peasantry.

to $20? If you’re stuck in the ’70s and can’t comprehend the downside of state-imposed prosperity, why not just make poverty history? Federal NDP leader Jack Layton informed an anxious nation that he wouldn’t support the Conservative budget because it doesn’t “lift all seniors out of poverty” or “create” enough doctors so everyone can have one. Cuba has “created” plenty of doctors. Mind you, they get paid $25 a month in addition to their food ration cards, so perhaps that socialist Utopia should raise its minimum wage. I watched another ’70s show last week, attending the B.C. Teachers’ Federation convention at the Victoria Conference Centre. Before Education Minister George Abbott arrived, delegates passed a typically self-righteous resolution demanding

all levels of government immediately get rid of poverty. How? Create poverty reduction plans with measurable goals. Right, kind of like those five-year plans for tractor production the Soviet Union had back in the ’70s. Once Abbott arrived to hold out the olive branch, the BCTF’s usual demands resumed. More teachers, more support staff and raises of 10 per cent or more. Does anyone on the BCTF executive know how to synthesize information? Can’t they see a connection between the big raises and staff increases they demand and what’s available for other programs? There’s a clue to our stagnant political debate. It’s largely fo r m e d i n p u bl i c schools. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BC Localnews. com.

Crosby still a smash 10 years of Antics V

ancouver Island Music Fest org anizers have secured the legendary David Crosby as a performer at this year’s festival running July 8-10. Possibly more than anyone on the planet, Crosby has lived a life that is emblematic of his generation’s dizzying journey — an agrarian ride through exhilarating highs and soul crushing lows on the paths of creative expression, political activism, personal growth and spiritual self-discovery. And yet amazingly, Crosby continues in perfect step with our times: healthy, sober and as productive as ever, he heads into the new millennium with a host of fresh creative projects and a successful new band, CPR, an aggregation that in itself is small miracle of creative synchronicity that grew out of the musician’s chance re u n i o n w i t h h i s 30-year-old biological son. A founding member of two seminal rock bands, Crosby is a two-time inductee in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

In addition, a lifetime of blissfully dedicated and committed work for the environment, free speech, human rights and other causes inspired the artist to write a book documenting the activism and social awareness

of contemporary musical artists. Titled Stand and Be Counted, the book was being made into a series of television documentaries, with Crosby selecting the subjects from among his friends and doing many of the interviews. David Crosby will be joining the performer roster July 8-10 at the 17th annual Vancouver Island MusicFest in the Comox Valley. Celebrating their 17th anniversary this year, Va n c o u ve r I s l a n d MusicFest has early bird tickets on sale until Friday at outlets across Vancouver Island for $129 for three days and six stages of music from Randy Newman, Ar rested Development, David Crosby, Albert Lee and John Jorgenson, Rodney Crowell, The Travellin’ McCourys, The Lee Brothers, Eliza Gilkyson, John Gorka, Jon Anderson (the voice of YES) and over 200 other performers. Visit www.islandmusicfest.com for more information.

A great meal, entertainment and good company – does that sound like something you’d enjoy? Well if it is, Antics Dinner Theatre is the Place to be. Dinner theatre in June is particularly special as it marks Antics Theatre’s 10th Anniversary. It will be celebrated with a delicious meal, cake with sparklers and the Fawlty Towers play – Communication Problems. This episode was the first Fawlty Towers performed by Antics Theatre. The evening also has some very entertaining extras. June 1-4 are the dates and the Willow Point Hall the place. Tickets will be on sale at the end of April. For parents looking for activities for their young people Anne Young, Young theatre director

will be having theatre sessions in early September where children ages 8 to 12+ will learn the basics of acting and performing in a play. Young has had her children’s theatre for 19 years and always enjoys meeting new faces. Young is also hoping to continue a tradition with “Dear Santa” a magical Christmas play at the Tidemark in December. So elves and choir members and North Pole residents will be needed and would have to register for this production. So, if any of the things mentioned appeal to you and would like to be informed of these upcoming events please email Anne Young at youngda@shaw.ca and she would be happy to keep you posted.

An evening of poetry readings J

oin Still Water Books and Art on Friday at 7:30 p.m. for an evening of poetry with two visiting poets – Garry Thomas Morse from Vancouver and Erling Friis-Baastad from Whitehorse, Yukon. Morse, a young First Nations writer related to the Assu family, has been described as a writer with “rare imagination and incredible talent”. He will be reading from his fifth and latest book Discovery Passages; a homage to his ancestry that traces Capt. Vancouver’’s sailing route from Alert Bay to Quadra Island to Vancouver, and explores the implications of this early European contact with his people, the Kwakwaka’wakw. Through word imagery and photog-

Erling Friis-Baastad

raphy, Morse takes a journey through the past to discover and recover the traditions of his people – who witnessed family and tribal possessions become museum artifacts, and heard their history recounted through another language. Rita Wong is quoted as saying that “This poetic excavation of the injustice inflicted on the Kwakwaka’wakw people is insightful, tender, and brutal in its scope.”

Two of the photographs appearing in the book were taken by local writer/photographer Catherine Gilbert. Morse and Gilbert began an e-mail correspondence after Morse read her article about local author Frank Assu online last year, and he commissioned Gilbert to take photos of Quadra Island petroglyphs for Discovery Passages. Erling Friis-Baastad is a Norwegian-born writer who emigrated from the States to Canada and the Yukon in 1974. His poems have appeared in many literary journals and anthologies, including The Malahat Review, Grain, Poetry Canada and Canadian Forum. Poetry Canada says that his poems “have a gift of ironic observation and introspection.” Not

3X8about the new Been wondering Bikram Hot Yoga in town? Now is an ideal time to check it out! 3X7 FREE EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS SEMINARS Campbell River, BC - Devastating earthquakes in Japan and New Zealand have Vancouver Island residents thinking about their own personal emergency preparedness.

STRATHCONA REGIONAL

To assist residents in getting key information, the Strathcona Regional District Emergency Program and the Campbell River ESS Disaster Services team of volunteers are holding two free seminars on Thursday, March 31. During an emergency, you and your family could be on your own for an extended period of time. As we have seen in the case of the Japan earthquake, the demand for assistance could overwhelm the ability of emergency responders to attend to everyone immediately. In such a case, being personally prepared for an emergency is vital. The emergency preparedness presentation will discuss what to do before, during and after disasters whether caused by nature or man. Presentations will be held on Thursday, March 31 at the following locations and times: Start time: 12:00 noon End time: 1:30 pm Location: Campbell River Community Center Room 2 401–11th Avenue Start time: 7:00 pm End time: 8:30 pm Location: 264 Larwood (Willow Point) CR Search and Rescue building behind Fire Hall # 2

only is Friis-Baastad a poet, but he has been a book reviewer and journalist, and currently works as an editor with the Yukon News. He has been in Campbell River since December, staying at the Haig-Brown House with partner Patricia Robertson, and this will be the first time he has read to the local audience. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear two outstanding and diverse poets at their only Campbell River appearance. For further information, call Still Water Books at 250-850-3103.

Fiftieth Parallel return to the Zocalo Cafe This Saturday night at The Zocalo Café: acoustic music with a twist returns in the form of Fiftieth Parallel (7:30-9:30 p.m.). Featuring Philip Marchand on guitar and Jonathan Hinds on guitar and African percussion, Fiftieth Parallel brings their own unique sound to the already vibrant Vancouver Island music scene. Formed after the demise of the metal band in which Marchand and Hinds both played, the pair decided that they needed a new musical direction. Inspired by acoustic guitar geniuses such as Michael Hedges and Andy McKee, they picked up their guitars and formed Fiftieth Parallel, named after Campbell River’s location on the 50th parallel. In their music, they have combined the influences of Hedges and McKee, as well as those of stoner rock legends Kyuss, and the distinctive sound of Pink Floyd. Despite playing only a handful of gigs so far, the reaction has been fantastic. They play at The Zocalo Café, Courtenay (208a 5th Street) from 7:309:30 p.m. Visit: www. youtube.com/ fiftiethparallel

Championship game

Cale Hughes of the Elk Valley Wild celebrates with Alex Soukoroff (8) after scoring the game-winning goal.

Elk Valley goes Wild over Victoria Three goals in under a minute propelled the Elk Valley Wild to victory in the championship game. After giving up the first goal of the game, the Wild scored the next five unanswered en route to a 5-1 vic-

tory over the Victoria Ice Hawks on Friday in Campbell River at the Tier 3 peewee hockey championships. After falling behind 1-0, Cale Hughes evened the score for the Wild in the first period, scoring on a wrist shot

PAUL RUDAN/THE MIRROR

Assistant captain Cam Kinsman of the Victoria Ice Hawks is tripped up Ty Abbott of the Elk Valley Wild during Friday’s championship game at the Rod Brind’Amour Arena. Elk Valley captured the title with a 5-1 victory.

from 15 feet out. The Wild got into penalty trouble early in the second frame, but managed to hold off the fast-skating Ice Hawks, thanks to stellar defensive play and goalie Andre Pelletier. The score remained

tied 1-1 and then Hughes broke the game open late in the second period. Skating with the puck just inside the Victoria blue line, Hughes fended off the defender, wheeled and fired another wrist shot into the top cor-

ner of the net, past the screened goalie. It was Hughes’ second of the match and proved to be the gamewinner. Victoria netminder Max McCulloch never had a chance after that as the fired-up Wild

scored two more quick goals to take a commanding 4-1 lead. Elk Valley played a tight defensive game in the final period and scored once more to earn the title. In the bronze medal g ame, Castle g ar

defeated Burnaby Winter Club 7-4. The host team, the Mainstream Biological Consulting peewee B Tyees, went winless in their five games, but won the most sportsmanlike trophy for the tournament.

Peewee A Tyees battle to a bronze medal at B.C.’s The Panago Peewee A Tyees completed an amazing season by battling to a third place finish at the Tier 2 Provincials in Aldergrove last week. It was an incredible accomplishment by a team that played the role of underdog all season, caught fire in the playoffs, and peaked at just the right time. Despite having one of the youngest rosters in the tournament, the Tyees competed with tremendous poise and refused to back down when bigger, stronger opponents attempted to grind them into submission. “It was a total team effort,” said head coach Paul Stapley. “Our players matured a great deal over the year and

I am very proud of their development. We were up against excellent teams with some extremely skilled players. The fact we were able to finish third says a lot.” The round-robin portion of the nine-team event caused more ups and downs than a roller coaster at Disneyland. C a m p b e l l R ive r opened with a convincing 10-2 victory over the highly-touted Semiahmoo Ravens thanks to a hat trick by Maddison Devlin and fivepoint efforts by Josh Coblenz and captain Sage Lim. However, the euphoria didn’t last long as the Tyees gave up five power play goals in their next game and were stunned 8-2 by the Williams Lake Timber-

wolves. As a result, coach Stapley and his crew found themselves in a precarious situation. To advance to the medal round they needed not only a victory over the undefeated Cranbrook Ice but also required winless Semiahmoo to knock off Williams Lake. The chances seemed slim. To make matters worse, in the midst of their hard-fought, see-saw battle against Cranbrook, the Tyees lost high-scoring centre Coblenz to a shoulder injury. Backed by the solid netminding of Nick Ordano and inspired play by veterans Darian Swift and Cory Bukauskas, the Tyees managed to hold

onto 5-5 tie until late in the third period. With just 58 second remaining, Brett Stapley slipped a nifty pass through to a streaking Bukauskas who deftly tipped it high into the net for the winning goal. The Tyee fans in attendance, many of whom had been stomping and cheering the entire contest, erupted in jubilant celebration. With their fate now in Semiahmoo’s hands, all the Tyees could do was sit and watch. In the game that followed, Semiahmoo came through with the upset of the tournament, shutting out Williams Lake 8-0. As unlikely as it seemed 24 hours earlier, the Tyees ended up win-

ning their division. As Campbell River assistant coach Craig Schelter remarked, “anything can happen in peewee hockey.” The Tyees faced a formidable opponent in the semis, the undefeated Fort St. John Flyers. Featuring size, skill and speed, the Flyers jumped out to a 2-0 lead after the first period and appeared to be in complete control. But Tyee first-year winger Tyler Dickson cut the lead in half early in the second, collecting a loose puck in the slot and drilling it into the top corner. However, Fort St John recovered, scoring twice before the end of the period to take a 4-1 advantage and playing a tight defensive game

in the third. The closest the Tyees came was an Olivia Knowles’ wrist shot that rattled off the crossbar in the dying moments. The Flyers went on to win the provincial title, defeating Burnaby Winter Club in the final. In the bronze medal game, Campbell River again faced the rugged Cranbrook Ice. The Tyees wasted no time, building up a 4-0 first period lead on goals by Lim, Andy Stevens, Coblenz, and Stapley. Cranbrook rallied with a pair in the middle frame, but Lim’s second goal of the game, a spectacular short-handed effort midway through the third, killed the comeback and sealed the victory.

“That was one of the roughest games I’ve ever seen in pee wee hockey,” said Stapley. “There were some huge hits on both sides and bodies flying everywhere. We got off to a fast start but it was Sage’s goal that put the icing on the cake.” After winning gold at the provincials last year and bronze this season, the obvious question is can the peewee Tyees finish with a medal a third straight time? Stapley, who has guided the ship the past two years, says the ingredients are there. “There is definitely a good base of players to choose from. The team should be very competitive,” said Stapley, who is stepping down as the peewee coach.
