Mayor takes a philosophical approach to change ALISTAIR TAYLOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Mayor Walter Jakeway took a different approach to initiating change in the City of Campbell River last Thursday. “Today is about the future,” Jakeway told a Chamber of Commerce luncheon. “It’s about our future here in Campbell River. It’s about our bright future.”
The mayor was in a philosophical mood, expressing a theme of his mayoralty through a quote by Rahm Emanuel, Mayor of Chicago and former White House chief of staff, who said, “No city today can function as in the past and as if the past responsibilities are going to hold true today.” There was none of the city bureaucrat bashing the mayor employed at a Rotary Club speech
on May 23 for which he was either roasted or applauded by the public and which led to city counillor Mary Storry calling for a confidential review of the mayor’s role as spokesperson for the city. The review was held but no report or statement about what went on came out of it. At the May 23 Rotary meeting, Jakeway said, “City hall is an example of how they’re doing
it in the least effective way. City staff say how hard they’re working; do I care how hard they’re working? No, I don’t, if the results aren’t there. “Wasting hard-earned taxpayers’ money is not acceptable to me,” Jakeway continued. “I didn’t run to leave things how they are, I ran to shake it up.” The mayor approached last Thursday’s Chamber of Com-
merce meeting as an exchange of ideas. He delivered a speech in which city staff were not mentioned, although he did say he thought there would have been more people at this meeting after the speech he delivered to the Rotary Club. Continuing his penchant for quotes, he told the chamber meeting that the former marketing Continued on A3

Best Little Dance Hall in Deadwood It was a night of murder and mayhem in the Wild West Coast at the Maritime Heritage Centre Friday. The annual River Spirit Dragon Boat Society fundraising murder mystery. A special guest appearance was made by Sweet Tease Burlesque and there was a live auction for six great prizes. Written by Susan Haley of Haley productions, the murder mystery tells the tale of a downtrodden, almost forgotten town that once thrived and prospered. Now the town has lost not only its fortune but its fame and its population. It was just another night in Deadwood, only this time it was more deadly than usual...

Laura Ritchie was behind the bar at the Deadwood Saloon.

Mayor: Jakeway tries a positive approach in speech Continued from A1 chief at Telus wrote a book entitled Be Different or Be Dead. “Is Campbell River different – really different?” he asked. “Yes. We know it is different, that is why we live here. Are we willing to tell the world? Turn it around – why would we not?” Jakeway put to the chamber members in attendance the question: if you had $1 million of “mad money” to spend right now on the future of Campbell River, what would you do? “To me, politicians are always talking but are seldom listening,” Jakeway said. “Active communication is a
two-way street. Sharing of ideas is absolutely vital. Today is your chance to share and think and be creative. Campbell River is a vibrant and diverse population and although we each have different needs, we all have the same basic desire – to be heard and respected. “Today can be a positive turning point for Campbell River if we as a city and community have a financially responsible, benevolent, yet common sense approach. “Our city and area have huge potential and the outcomes are only limited by our lack of creativity and
shortage of imagination. Are we collectively willing to take the risk? To be bold? Take the challenge? To unashamedly promote Campbell River and region in non-traditional, radical ways?” Jakeway said if even just two potentially good ideas come from last Thursday’s meeting, or the fuse has been lit for some basic follow-up ideas, then the session will have been successful. For Campbell River to survive, it is up to us, Jakeway said. The big economic players have left and the magical recovery has not materialized. Big government has promised some help but it is still
a year or two away. We need a mix of short term and long term views and actions, he said. “As taxpayers and l o c a l g ove r n m e n t , we need to challenge everything,” Jakeway said. “Past assumptions may not still hold true.” Jakeway’s ideas for change involve focusing on developing skills either through education – and becoming an educational hub – or through new arrivals, bringing in immigrants with skills. “Manufacturing requires technological skills. It’s great to be creative but it takes technical skill to convert creativity into
reality. If the current resident Canadians can’t or won’t supply it, the foreign workers will.” Campbell River needs to attract manufacturing business, some creative industries ventures and some high tech opportunities, he said. There are some big projects
coming online that will provide Campbell River some “breathing room” – the John Hart Dam upgrade and the new hospital – but they won’t fix the problem, Jakeway said. The focus must be on fresh energetic ideas, a future with a clear, positive direction while working
within balanced, rational financial goals. Jakeway said that during the summer he will be hosting two-three sessions at the Enterprise Centre to invite people with ideas burning in their skulls to come and discuss them with people from the community or the chamber.

Councillors, staff cost more in 2011 KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Council wages went up last year, according to the city’s statement of financial information released last Friday. Annual earnings for councillors varied as 2011 was an election year and not all councillors – or the mayor – finished the year in office. Re-elected councillors Andy Adams, Ryan Mennie, Claire Moglove and Mary Storry made $21,117 last year while incom-
ing councillors Ron Kerr and Larry Samson each made $687 after taking office at the end of November. Councillors Roy Grant and Ziggy Stewart, who were not re-elected, each took home $20,430 in 2011. Both men unsuccessfully ran for mayor and gave up their spot on council in the process. Mayor Walter Jakeway made $2,033 last year after winning November’s municipal election while former Mayor Charlie Cornfield earned $57,955. Last year’s earn-

ings for the mayor and councillors represent a 1.02 per cent increase over 2010 wages. Two years ago, all councillors received an annual pay of $20,764 while the mayor received $58,854. Had Cornfield remained in office until the end of 2011 he would have increased his salary to $59,988 last year. Council racked up $43,847 in expenses for attending out of town meetings. The city also paid out a further $14.9 mil-
lion to its staff. The highest earner at city hall was City Manager Andy Laidlaw who made $146,346 in 2011. Ron Neufeld, general manager of city operations, took home $121,527 while Dave Morris, general manager of facilities and supply, made $116,414 last year and Laura Ciarniello, the city’s corporate services manager, earned $115,426. Deputy fire chiefs Tim Paul and Ian Baikie were the highest paid city staff outside of city hall, making
$157,368 and $111,208 last year respectively. Council’s pay cheques are bolstered by the Strathcona Regional District, which has yet to release its financial statements. Directors are paid for each board, committee or commission they are appointed to. In 2010 Adams did not receive any pay from the regional district while Moglove made $13,200; Storry made $13,075 and Mennie earned $1,000 as an alternate director to the regional district board.

Expect higher water levels on the Campbell River Flooding is not a concern in Campbell River like it currently is in the Fraser Valley, however, river levels will be going up as BC Hydro manages higher volumes of water and a melting snow pack. Starting last night, BC Hydro opened up the John Hart Dam floodgates to increase the Elk Falls Canyon flow by about 10 times. and the downstream Campbell River flow by about 30 per cent This is being done to control the upper watershed reservoir levels. Fortunately, there isn’t believed to be any risk of downstream flooding. “BC Hydro advises the public to be cautious around the Campbell River,” said spokesman Stephen Watson in a news release. “BC Hydro continues to prohibit public access from our property into the Campbell River out of concern for the large spruce tree that is positioned across the river downstream.” The water “dumping” will continue through July 3, and perhaps
longer. Total Campbell River flow during this time will be around 160 cubic metres per second. BC Hydro will review operations and the water supply forecast in early July to make further adjustments as needed. The Upper Campbell Reservoir/Buttle Lake is currently at 219.9 metres. BC Hydro would prefer not to operate it above 220.5 metres out of concern for shoreline erosion. The reservoir rose
about one metre the week of June 11, and from Friday to Monday, the level increased by 40 centimetres. The primary reason for both events was heavy rain and snow melt. Water inflows on Saturday hit 270 cubic metres per second. The snow pack is still high and BC Hydro is releasing the water to continue to absorb the snow melt that will likely continue into early August. BC Hydro’s updated
water supply outlook for the June to September period shows water flows into the Campbell River system to be about 133 per cent above normal, with a standard error of about 10 per cent should it be dry or wet. There is a lot of water
this year, similar to last year. In looking ahead to August, BC Hydro’s goal is to control the Upper Campbell Reservoir in the 220 metre range through the rest of the summer and have the downstream Campbell River flow at

Our View
Ruling raises difficult issue Expect an appeal of a decision against the law forbidding physician-assisted suicide in Canada. The momentous ruling June 15 by B.C. Supreme Court Judge Lynn Smith would likely be appealed whichever way it We say: But went. As it is, she upheld a challenge by there are valid three plaintiffs because the law’s concerns about provisions “unjustifiably infringe assisted suicide the equality rights” of one of the trio as well as “the rights to life, liberty and security” of the other two. If law is expected to mirror the values of the people to whom it applies, it’s hard to accept a
continuation of the status quo. For example, 21 per cent of respondents in a Forum Research survey of Canadians in December opposed physician-assisted suicide and 12 per cent said they had no opinion. Sixty-seven per cent said they support physicianassisted suicide. Tell that to the B.C. and Canadian governments, whose lawyers vigourously argued for assisted suicide to remain punishable by as much as 14 years in prison. Would legalizing or decriminalizing doctor-assisted suicide result in abuse of the aged and vulnerable? Would the decision cause a “slippery slope” that would lead to other rulings that could undermine the sanctity of life? Those are only two valid concerns.
In spite of astounding medical advances, people still die agonizing deaths from afflictions such as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, with no hope of cure or much relief. Should society legally or morally have the right to tell you or a loved one in this frightful predicament that – in spite of being informed, mentally competent and not coerced – that you must continue to suffer against your wishes? Governments have a year before the ruling takes effect. May they use the time to wrestle honestly and fairly with this weighty matter that no doubt gave Smith some sleepless nights. - Black Press
Letters
Valuable message sent Thank you for writing and publishing the recent story re: teen crime ring faces restorative justice, it was a valuable public service message. It could have impact all the way around, many messages can be learned from the story. Starting with simply locking your vehicles, to keeping a closer eye on your teenagers, even the peer pressure many teens face. But the message that restorative justice practitioners would like heard, is when a crime occurs, many are harmed by the event – the victim, the community, and the offender. To bring all the parties together, find an agreeable resolution to repair the harm, not only gives a voice to the victims, but gives the offender an opportunity to understand the impact of their crime. Most offenders do not carry on to cause harm against the community they feel supported by. The community of Campbell River has been very supportive of this program. I appreciate your willingness to give the pubic a small glance into a innovative approach to reducing crime, that is gaining ground all around the world. Kristine Atkinson We welcome your opinions on stories and issues published in our pages as well as issues of broader concern encountered elsewhere. Please keep your letters brief.

B.C.’s ‘poverty’ line declines, nobody notices
Tom Fletcher B.C. Views
You probably didn’t hear this on TV, the percentage of Canadians deemed “low income” went down slightly in 2010, according to the latest Statistics Canada analysis. This news was delivered in the annual “Income of Canadians” report last week. The share of people who fall below the federal LowIncome Cut-Off (LICO) went from 9.5 per cent to 9.0. The CBC couldn’t bring itself to admit any actual improvement, reporting on its website that the number of people with “low income” was about three million, “virtually unchanged from 2009.” Other media outlets followed the unwritten rule that nothing remotely positive must be presented as news, particularly if
it reflects positively on a right-wing government. (Plus they had the Montreal body-parts case to update each day.) This information likely won’t have any effect on the political discussion about “poverty” in B.C. The LICO survey will continue to be used as a measure of absolute poverty, despite the fact that it isn’t. It’s a relative measure that will always designate the same share of people at the low end of the scale. BC Stats, the provincial equivalent of the federal agency, explained this problem in a special report last year. “To illustrate,” the report said, “take a hypothetical future Canada where every citizen earns no less than $100,000 (and assume there has
not been rampant inflation in the meantime, such that buying power is not dissimilar to what exists today) and millionaires are common. “In that kind of Canada, those at the low end of the income scale (that is, those earning ‘merely’ $100,000) would be considered poor if LICOs were used as a measure of poverty.” Math aside, that’s the alleged “poverty line” routinely cited by the usual media authorities, like B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair. Sinclair campaigned for years to get the B.C. government to raise the minimum wage from $8 to $10 an hour. They did, in three increments, and on May 1 it increased to $10.25 an hour.
As soon as the series of three increases was announced last November, Sinclair called a news conference to announce it’s not enough. To get to the LICO level, the minimum wage should be $11.50 an hour, Sinclair said. Of course, if B.C. businesses ponied up for that, the goalposts would shift again and the same proportion of “poverty” would magically still exist. The B.C. NDP government-in-waiting continues to demand an “action plan” on poverty, with annual goals. All the progressive provinces have one, which I guess is why poverty is all but eradicated in enlightened places like Manitoba. There are signs of the reality behind this political smokescreen.

Over the past 9 months, the Altrusa Club has been phenomenally supportive of the Tidemark Theatre. Darlene, Edie, Charlotte – your energy is contagious. We look forward to continuing to work with you as we move into next fall.” – Kim Emsley-Leik, Managing Director HEROES – The staff at Lubex including Owner Shawn, Dan the Mechanic, Kyle a Tech and Vicki Tech who smiles all the time. We took our car there for some fluids to be checked and the moment we drove in to their shop, we were treated like royalty. Not only did they do the work we needed but they didn’t try to suggest we needed things that we didn’t need. The service was
awesome from beginning to end and it made our day. Unfortunately there are too many places that are not honest or friendly but the staff at Lubex totally rock in our opinion. – Andy and Paula Young HEROES – So many heroes to thank for making our Fun Fair at Ecole Mer et Montagne such a huge success: Parents, students, volunteers... who spent hundreds of hours preparing for it. So many sponsors/heroes who donated so generously to support our silent auction, we had so many amazing prizes this year, thank you to all of you! It was also wonderful to see so many people showing up this year for some great family fun, we’ll be back in 2013 with even more games. – Xavier Barbot, on behalf of Ecole Mer et Montagne Fun Fair Committee HEROES – The Accessible Wilderness Society would like to give a big “thank you” to Campbell River Whale

Many thanks to Jack Springer, Jennifer Furst, Aaron Webber and the “crew” for generously offering on donation basis, zodiac rides and smokies on behalf of the Accessible Wilderness Society’s goal of building Canada’s first universally designed Lodge and Campground on Roberts Lake. “ARR” hats off to you! – Dan and Judy Bauer HEROES – We would like to express gratitude to all the folks who helped make the BC Historical Federation Conference, which we recently hosted here at the Museum such a success. Conference delegates, who came from all over B.C. were extremely pleased with their visit to Campbell River. We appreciate how willing everyone was to help us make this event a success. Community pride was definitely front and foremost. A special thanks to the members of the C.R. Genealogy

form “The ladies were great!”. A special treat for delegates was the opportunity to go onboard the historic vessel Columbia III – thanks to Ross and Fern of Mothership Adventures. Lastly, a heartfelt thanks to the dedicated group of volunteers at the Museum.

Thief should know, there’s no place like home PAUL RUDAN
CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Judge Roderick Sutton wanted to send a message to Aaron D’Allesandro for breaching his conditional sentence order. It should have been the classic line from
the Wizard of Oz, “There’s no place like home.” But, after getting his chance to serve his sentence at home, and failing to abide by the rules, D’Allesandro will be serving the remaining 29 days behind bars, along with
seven additional days due to his breaches. “A message needs to be delivered,” said Judge Sutton on Monday in Campbell River provincial court. D’Allesandro appeared by video from jail cells in Victoria after being arrested on
a warrant June 13. The 22-year-old, who has a previous conviction for assault causing bodily harm, had been given a 45-day conditional sentence on May 14, by Judge Peter Doherty, for two counts of theft under $5,000.
The convictions stem from April 26-27, when D’Allesandro stole $100 worth of lottery tickets from one business and followed up the next day by stealing $40 in shaving supplies from London Drugs. However, after being handed the conditional
sentence – meaning he could serve his time at home on strict conditions – D’Allesandro was no where to be found when police checked on him May 18, at 2:47 a.m., just four days after he was sentenced. C a m p b e l l R ive r
RCMP make it a habit of checking up on people who are on probation or who are serving conditional sentences – particularly in the middle of the night. On May 22, D’Allesandro failed to report to his conContinued on A11

Salvation Army food pantry running out of supplies With donations down, The Campbell River Salvation Army is asking the community for help re-stocking their food pantry as supplies run out. “We have been seeing a change in demographics recently with an increase in lower income families with children accessing our
services,” said family services in-take worker Betty Tiede. “It’s becoming more of a challenge to pack nutritionally balanced hampers.” The Salvation Army in Campbell River operates the back-up emergency food bank and provides food hampers four times a year
to households which meet the criteria for assistance. “I don’t really think the community in general is even aware that we offer this type of assistance,” said The Salvation Army’s Community Ministries Director Kevin Mack. “On average we assist approximately 400 local
households per year with food hampers.” While The Salvation Army’s Christmas kettle fundraiser was successful this past year, food donations in particular have decreased significantly over previous years.
“We are concerned we won’t be able to keep up with demand,” said Mack. There are many families in our community struggling to keep afloat.” Non-perishable food donations can be dropped off at The Sal-
vation Army’s Ocean Crest Community Church at 291 McLean Street Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. “Items such as small peanut butter, pasta sauce, spaghetti, noodles, jam, crackers, canned veggies, canned
fruit and canned meat, especially tuna are in high demand,” said Tiede Cash donations toward the purchase of food are also greatly appreciated. Call 250287-3720 for more information.
Court: Man ordered to serve time in jail Continued from A10 ditional sentence supervisor. Then, on May 23, at 11:30 p.m., police again knocked on his apartment door – this time for 12 minutes – but he never answered. As a result, a warrant for D’Allesandro’s arrest was issued. When he appeared in court Monday, Crown prosecutor John Boccabella asked
the judge terminate the conditional sentence and to replace that with jail. Defence lawyer James Hormoth said D’Allesandro had to move out of the apartment due to the frequent checks by police which was upsetting the other tenants. He also said D’Allesandro plans to enter the Second Chance Recovery House after
his sentence is over and to follow up with further residential treatment for an undisclosed substance abuse problem. H o w e v e r, B o c c a b e l l a expressed skepticism over D’Allesandro’s excuse for being out of his residence. So did the judge as he ordered D’Allesandro to serve out the 29 days, and seven new days, behind bars.

Elk Falls suspension bridge could open next summer T he Rotary Club would also like to complete the Upper Canyon View Trail loop by constructing a trail from the north end of the suspension bridge to the existing Dean Martin mountain bike trail. Bewza said the suspension bridge and view points will increase tourism to Campbell River as the Englishman River suspension bridge has done for the NanaimoParksville area. “The view of Elk Falls
KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
A 90-metre long suspension bridge over Elk Falls could be open to the public as soon as next June. The Campbell River Rotary Club project has been in the works for some time, but now the proposal has been officially released to the public, complete with a timeline and budget. The suspension bridge is expected to hang 60 metres above the canyon floor to provide breathtaking views of one of the area’s most well-known natural wonders. The first 40 metres of the south side of the bridge would be in the trees and could be accessed from the existing trail along the falls. “This project will showcase one of Campbell River’s most spectacular natural wonders by providing a clear, unobstructed view of the falls and canyon,� said Lorrie Bewza, chair of the Elk Falls Suspension Bridge Project. The goal is to model the bridge after existing suspension bridges over Englishman River, Capilano River and Lynn Valley Canyon in the Lower Mainland. Those bridges are constructed with steel cables strung between two anchor points, but final design and detail for the Elk Falls bridge Shops
won’t be complete until a geotechnical study is conducted and a request for proposals issued, Bewza said. The Elk Falls project also includes two new viewing platforms and trail expansion. “ T h e f i r s t v i ew ing platform will be accessed from the lower parking lot, which now provides access to the existing viewing platform,� Bewza said. “This portion of the trail is very flat and will allow seniors as well as children and those with mobility challenges to view the spillway and
provide a partial view of Elk Falls.� A further 60 metres down the existing user trail would be an access point to the suspension bridge and the start of a new trail which would descend 10-12 metres down to a second proposed new viewing platform with a direct view of the falls. “The viewing platform is envisioned as a cantilevered platform,� Bewza said. “It is possible to see the entire falls from the top of the falls to the bottom of the canyon floor.�

by the Campbell River Visitor Centre. The entire project is estimated to cost $550,000 with the bridge coming in at $300,000. The Rotary Club has confirmed it will spend $75,000 and a corporate sponsor has committed to making up $150,000 of the project costs. Rotary is also hoping for funding from the Island Coastal Economic Trust; $25,000 in in-kind contributions as well as $75,000 from other various contributors.
Rotary submitted its project proposal to BC Parks this month. The club hopes to obtain grant approval by September; issue request for proposals to the project finalist in October and submit complete plans to BC Parks for final approval this winter. If all goes according to plan, Rotary expects the project to be completed sometime between May and June of next year, with opening day in either June or July of 2013.

and the canyon itself is so fantastic that we can expect a large increase in traffic,� Bewza said. “According to BC Parks there are approximately 70,000 day use visitors per year at Elk Falls Park. It is reasonable to expect the number of tourist visits to increase by 50-100 per cent.� She said an increase of 35,000-70,000 visitors could mean an extra $2.5-$5 million a year injected into the local economy, according to statistics recorded

The prenup dollars 4x10 and sense talk Your wedding day is right around the corner. You’re practicing your reception speech. You love each other and you’re making a lifetime commitment. You’ve no doubt talked frequently about your future together but did your talks include dollar signs? Money is always one of the most challenging aspects of a relationship, especially if you’re about to become part of a blended family. Here are some prenup Âżnancial basics to smooth your transition to married life: Consider a prenup A written prenuptial agreement can protect certain assets accumulated before your marriage or for children from a previous relationship. Each party should receive independent legal advice and speak to an experienced family lawyer about what should and shouldn’t be in the agreement and make sure the agreement is signed well in advance of the wedding day. Tell all, know all Each of you should disclose assets, loans and other Âżnancial commitments and credit history. A partner’s undisclosed poor credit history could cause unpleasant surprises when you’re applying for a joint credit card or a loan. Pick an asset If one or both of you brought assets, like a house or car, into the union, decide if you should keep or sell them. Alternatively, one person may “buyâ€? their share of a larger asset (such as a home), by giving the other

Merge or purge Decide if it’s best to maintain separate bank accounts, credit cards and investments or to merge them to eliminate duplication and enhance ¿nancial bene¿ts. Also consider this, while it may be ¿nancially advantageous to pool your investments for a more robust portfolio, keeping assets separate can avoid legal implications in the event of a separation or divorce. You may also want to keep assets separate in the event you want to leave them to children from a previous relationship. Share your goals Agree on shared ¿nancial goals, like buying a home or starting a family. If you have children, invest in an RESP to help save for their education.

Gordon (Gord) is survived by 2 sons: Gary Carr (Patsy), William Carr (Donna) and 1 daughter: Patricia Carr. He is also survived by 7 grandchildren, 2 great grandchildren and brother: Jack Carr and sister: Dorothy Lepp. Born in Regina, Sask., Gord joined HMCS Canadian Navy at 19 years old. During WWII, Gord’s duties included sailing the Atlantic Ocean, protecting merchant ships. He was in telecommunication, as a radio operator. Gord remained in the military for 25 years, ending his career as an instructor in Cornwallis, N.S. Gord met his lovely future wife, Valeda, in 1945. His sister, Dorothy Lepp, introduced them. He remained a true companion until cancer claimed Valeda in 2001. Gord and Val transferred to several Canadian military bases throughout his vocation. Once military life ended, they came to visit a friend on Cortes Island and they never left. Gord worked with BC Ferries, ending his working years as a deckhand on the vessel, Cortes Queen. Gord built a warm, inviting home which created many enduring friendships with people on and off the island. Gord was widely known as a piano player. With his tenor voice and knowledge of music, he played with other members of the “Old Timers’ band on Cortes. He was truly a crowd pleaser, making many people happy. He would sometimes come to the Yuculta Lodge, in Campbell River, to play for the residents. The keyboard is silent now. Gord lost his battle with multiple myeloma on June 13th. His earthly vision of ‘the pearly gates’ was a white baby grand piano waiting for him. I can hear him, can’t you? Play on, maestro, play on. A memorial will be held in late summer. ˜Shades ˜Custom Blinds 2X1.5 ˜Drapery 2X1.5 ˜Shutters Film ˜Window earlug COLOR

KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The city, School District 72 and the RCMP are the first to sign on to the city’s first-ever Youth Charter. Re presentatives from the three organizations took part in the ceremonial signing during the June 12 council meeting. The Charter was developed by the city’s Youth Action Committee which is made up of 13 teens in Grades 9 through 12 who meet three times per month. The Charter is a set of vision statements that outline youth values, priorities and vision for Campbell River. The Youth Action Committee will meet with the Charter signatories once a year to ensure the organizations are working towards meeting the goals of the Youth Charter. “The Youth Action Committee will work with the city and partner organizations to move toward implementing the youth vision over time,” said Mariah Carpenter, chair of the Youth
Action Committee, in a report to council. “YAC may also invite additional organizations to sign on to the Charter on an annual basis.” The committee has worked on several projects throughout the school year. One of those is working to find youth entertainment at venues such as Spirit Square and the Tidemark Theatre. Carpenter told council she attended the Shania Twin (impersonator) concert with her mother in April and the audience was mostly older adults. Carpenter said she’d like to see acts geared towards teenagers and suggested bringing in one of the bands from Carihi. “We’ve been brainstor ming what we want to see,” Carpenter said. The Youth Committee has also been looking into the concept of a youth centre – a safe place for youth to go that’s all their own. Timberline student Paige Derouin said the committee conducted a survey of 357 students in Grades 7-12, and 250

said they would go to a youth centre while just more than 100 said they had no interest in such a place. The Youth Committee has also been busy fundraising. The students sold visual representations of what the committee does during the Earth Week Film Festival and raised $950. Of that amount, $400 was given to the Mountainaire Avian Rescue Society; $400 was put towards a bursary in 2013 for a student planning to study in the environmental field; and $150 was donated to the Robron Centre Community Garden. Coun. Claire Moglove was impressed with the students’ efforts. “ We ve r y m u c h appreciate your enthusiasm, you’ re the future of Campbell River so your voices are very important,” she said. The committee will be actively recruiting two new members in the fall, as two students will be graduating from Grade 12 this month. The other members all plan to return.

the Levins’ kick dominated again as he captured the 5,000-metre event. As the fans at Vanier celebrated, someone pointed out a misprint on Levins’ plaque; the years he had attended were incorrect. But the mistake was serendipitous. “It worked out great. Now I get to give it to him personally,â€? says Street, clutching the revised plaque. He later tells the audience, “I coached Cam in Grade 9 basketball‌ Cam made a great decision!â€? Basketball would never be the sport for Levins who now stands 5’10â€? and weighs about 140. Street remembers the day Levins, then in Grade 10, came to him and asked about the Vanier record for the 12-minute mile.
“I told him it was around eight laps,� says Street. “Cam went out and did nine-and-ahalf.�
N
o one knew Levins would turn out to be such a gifted runner. He certainly didn’t
look like a future star, May recalls, when he showed up for the Comets practice at age 12. But the one thing May did notice was how hard Levins practised. It’s a trait that has carried Levins to a university scholarship (he’s earned a Bachelor of Science in Exercise), the first sub-four-minute mile at Southern Utah, two NCAA titles and, soon, the Summer Olympic Games in London, England. “With Cam it’s hard work and it’s always been about personal best (times),â€? says May. “From the time he was little until this‌and he’s a great kid too.â€? It’s not just his old coaches that noticed Levins’ work ethic, every person in the Saratoga Beach area of Black Creek knows Levins. W h e n h e ’s b a ck home for the summer, he runs, runs and then runs some more – tallying 240 kilometres a week.
“Always running,� says neighbour Louise Howes. Dean Wyatt, the head football coach at Vanier who also lives at Saratoga Beach, says the neighbours feel a sense of “ownership� as they’ve watched Levins practice and win races over the years. o help the family celebrate, Wyatt took up a neighbourhood collection and bought Canada-red jackets for the Levins’ family. White lettering on the back of the jackets spells out “Team Levins� which will stand out quite nicely when the parents, along their eldest boy Jordan and his girlfriend, travel to England to watch Levins race at the Olympics. “Sorry,� says Wyatt with a laugh as he presents the jackets, “but we got these made before we knew that Cam had signed with Nike.�

Levins: Nike deal Continued from Page 29
The professional deal is just the latest bonus for Levins who will use the cash and copious Nike gear to continue training. If he’s overwhelmed by the success and the attention, it doesn’t show as Levins seems to glide through the crowd at the Black Creek Hall. He smiles easily, looks every-
one in the eye when he speaks with them, and makes sure that no one leaves with an unsigned photo. “This is unbelievably nice,” says his dad Gus, clearly far more overwhelmed than his son. “The thing I see is the ownership people have taken in Cam. It’s neat to see people support him. This is his home, this is his community, and everyone knows

him.” When Levins entered the hall, he was greeted by the crowd singing O Canada as Canadian flags were hung everyone, including a sign that read “Cam-ada.” By the time he reaches the front of the room to finally address his fans, they’re standing, applauding and chanting, “Cam, Cam, Cam!” You can almost see a tear welling, but Levins maintains his composure as he gives thanks to the people who always have, and always will, support him. “When people ask me where I’m from, I always say Black Creek,” says Levin, as he receives a roar of approval. “It’s the best support I could have. I can’t thank you guys enough. Thank-you – I use that word a lot.” ■ Levins competes in Calgary this weekend in the 5,000-metre event at the Canadian Olympic qualifier. He’s expected to win easily. Levins has already qualified for the 10,000-metre race at the Olympics. The Olympic 10,000 final is scheduled for Aug. 4, with the 5,000-metre heats set for Aug. 8.
