School board defies minister’s edict KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

School District 72 will not come up with savings to fund wage increases for staff and teachers in schools, as was requested by the Education Minister. Michele Babchuk, chair of the Board of Education, said School District 72 will not be submit-

ting a savings plan to help pay salaries. “This letter will act as official notice that after careful examination of our finances and given the constraints inherent in the principles of the Cooperative Gains Mandate, we are submitting a zero savings plan,” Babchuk wrote in a letter to Education Minister Don McRae on

Jan. 15. McRae had asked all school districts across the province to come up with a 1.5 per cent savings in district operations and to submit the savings plan by January 15. He also requested that the savings not have an impact on educational programs. Babchuk said that would be

impossible. “We will find it very difficult and unreasonable to provide a savings plan that will not impact students today or in the future,” Babchuk said in December following McRae’s request. She added the board had “grave concerns in the expectation that Boards of Education and school Continued on A2

The Klahoose First Nation held an Idle No More protest at the ferry dock on Cortes Island yesterday. The rally was to take place in Whaletown from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. “The ferry, and cars entering and leaving the ferry, will not be impeded and the event will be peaceful and respectful,” Norman Harry Sr. said in an article he wrote for cortesisland.com Tideline. “The Klahoose people would like to make it clear that everyone is welcome to be involved as we feel that the matters concerned really affect everyone living here. “We would like to apologize in advance to anyone on Cortes who is inconvenienced tomorrow, still we feel it is important for us to engage in this action. Allow me to express as an individual what I believe is the focus of our people here.” Norman said the Klahoose First Nation is in solidarity with the vision of Idle No More which revolves around indigenous ways of knowing rooted in indigenous sovereignty over water, air and land protection for future generations. “Specifically here on Cortes, we are concerned with maintainContinued on A2

tive bargaining with support staff in schools through kindergarten to Grade 12. Babchuk said while School District 72’s Board of Education is in favour of fair pay, it’s difficult to come up with the money locally to fund those wages. “Undoubtedly, as a Board of Education, we support a fair wage settlement for all of our employee groups,” Babchuk said. “As we consider a Cooperative Gains savings plan for support staff, we need to identify if we will be required to find additional savings plans to support increases for teachers and excluded staff. “We find it increasingly frustrating that we are being asked to bargain provincially, and yet locally fund any settlements.”

Firefighters used water in both units to extinguish the fire burning inside the walls and floors. Water was also applied outside on the back of the complex to contain the blaze. “Both units were damaged by smoke, and the walls and floor of the vacant unit will require extensive repair,” Baikie said.

City faces $3.6 million deficit KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The city is forecasting a $3.6 million budget shortfall for 2012, according to preliminary fig-

ures. That’s up substantially from the last estimated budget deficit of $550,000 back in December. The picture looks bleaker now because of a change in the prop-

erty assessment value of the defunct Catalyst mill site. The BC Assessment Authority announced early last month that Catalyst no longer meets the requirements of a major industrial property, and

has been reclassified as business/ other, which means a significant reduction in Catalyst’s property taxes. That decision results in a loss of $1.8 million in tax revenue for

2012. Included in the deficit is a $1.1 million tax shortfall carried over from 2011, plus a $1.3 million increase in costs related to contract commitments and inflationary increases, said Laura Ciarniello, the city’s general manager of corporate services. If the city were to maintain the current level of services it provides to citizens, the tax rate would have to increase by 24 per cent in order to make up the $3.6 million. The loss of $1.8 million from Catalyst alone, equates to a 12 per cent residential tax increase. To put that into perspective, Ciarniello said a one per cent residential tax increase would bring in $150,000 in revenue for the city. That one per cent increase would mean roughly $12 more per year in property taxes for the average homeowner. The city’s operating budget is approximately $37 million which Continued on A3

Health fair cancelled after province pulls funding KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The Immigrant Welcome Centre has been forced to cancel one of its most popular events due to funding cuts. What was supposed to be the third annual Diversity Health Fair has been cancelled because of a lack of funding. The province had supplied the Immigrant Welcome Centre with $15,000 in each of the last two years to cover staff and other costs, but this year pulled its funding. “Unfortunately funding cuts across the province have affected several communities and there are uncertainties as to whether this particular funding will be restored for a 2014 fair,” said Rachel Blaney, executive director of the

Immigrant Welcome Centre, which provides services to immigrants to help them settle into Canada.

The provincial funding was money earmarked for diversity health fairs which are aimed at educating immigrants and

diverse populations about local health care services. Blaney said similar health fairs are held across the province

but Campbell River’s was one of the newer ones, and likely at the bottom of the list for funding. She said last year

the community played a huge role in the success of the health fair, contributing $10,000 through booth rentals and sponsorships.

“The engagement of the community is very high and this health fair is a huge pull,” Blaney said. “Our goal is to get back to it in 2014 but we will have to find more sponsorship.” At this point, funding is speculative and the Immigrant Welcome Centre is looking for sponsors and partners to lend financial support so it can offer the fair in 2014. “We believe that the spirit of Campbell River will make this event happen,” said Jorgina Little, event manager at the Immigrant Welcome Centre, in a news release. For more information, or to provide support for the Diversity Health Fair, contact Shannon Briggs or Little at DiversityHealthFair@gmail. com or call 250-8300171.

No motivation for city to improve road if residents leave: Neufeld mechanism to upgrade the road from its current gravel status, and would in fact decrease the likelihood, the ability and any motivation for the city to undertake any upgrades to the gravelled portion,” Neufeld said in a report to council. The three-kilometre long road that circles McIvor Lake is paved for the first 500 metres off Highway 28, and gravel the rest of the way. It’s that unpaved portion that has eight residents up in arms. Aref Tabarsi, who has acted as a spokesperson for the McIvor Lake residents, said it’s appalling that he’s paying hefty taxes to the city and not receiv-

Removing McIvor Lake Road properties from the city would not offer the benefits that the residents – who want out of the city – are looking for, according to city staff. Ron Neufeld, the city’s general manager of operations, said if the eight residential properties were not a part of the municipality the city would not be enticed to fix the road as street improvements are for the benefit of city residents. “Removal of the McIvor Lake Road residents from the city boundaries would not introduce any new

ing a proper roadway in return. “For the entire six months of a year I’m driving on a public road that’s only been graded once,” Tabarsi said. “It’s unbearable. Collecting our taxes and giving us minimal to no services, including a basic drivable road, is illegal, unethical, and immoral.” Last summer, Tabarsi and his neighbours presented the city with a petition asking that council approve the removal of their properties from the city. If approved, based on 2012 taxation levels, the city would lose $33,000 in taxation revenues. City staff, however, were recommend-

Neufeld noted that the McIvor Lake properties’ tax bills do not include charges for water, sewer, garbage collection, recycling or yard waste pick up as those services are not provided in the area. Neufeld said the property owners do p ay p ro p e r t y a n d parcel tax to the city, which includes taxes collected on behalf of the province, School District 72, the Strathcona Regional District, the Hospital Board and the Vancouver Island Regional Library. “The concern about

property tax levels is a common criticism of the property taxation model available for use by municipalities and regional districts,” Neufeld said. “The challenge is that property taxes levied are based solely on the value of the property with no correlation to the level of service provided or to the property owner’s ability to pay.” McIvor Lake residents, through their property taxes, also pay for the city’s road network, public transit,

the airport, city parks, and city recreational facilities – all things available to McIvor Lake residents. “All of these services remain equally accessible to these property owners regardless of whether their properties are in or out of city limits, however, if their properties are removed from the city they would no longer be contributing towards their costs,” Neufeld said. “This situation that can occur as a result... is commonly referred

to as ‘free ridership’ – a situation where property owners have access to municipal services without contributing financially towards them. This situation is not desirable as it places an unfair financial burden on city residents.” Additionally, if the properties are removed from the city, fire protection will no longer be provided through the city, which will likely increase insurance premiums for McIvor Lake reidents.

Aquarium pier site selected KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A local group trying to open a public aquarium downtown has selected a location for the facility. Discovery Passage SeaLife Society has been meeting with city staff since November to work out the details of two potential sites at the Discovery Pier. The options were to put the 16 x 48 foot facility either on top of the cement ramp to the left of the pier staircase (leaving just the right-side ramp), or in the grassy patch to the left of the ramp, which would leave it intact. City staff said Friday that both parties have come to a decision as to where they would like to see the aquarium. “The society’s and staff ’s preferred location is immediately adjacent to the north-

ern ramp, which is Crown land leased to the Campbell River Harbour Authority,” said David Morris, the city’s general manager of facilities and supply management, in a report to council. “The footprint of the pier entrance, including the ramps and shelter, is on land licensed to the City of Campbell River from the Campbell River Harbour Authority.” Morris added the location can easily be serviced with power, water, sewer and sea water. The site for the aquarium was up for approval at last night’s city council meeting after the Mirror went to press. The small building, which resembles a shed, was purchased by Discovery Passage SeaLife Society with a donation from the Noon Hour Rotary

Timberline grad one of Harvard’s most impressive students KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

For most people, getting into Harvard would be a big accomplishment. To go on to be one of the university’s top students would be an even bigger feat – especially when you’re from a little-known city off the coast of Canada. But that’s what Campbell River’s Meghan Smith, 21, has done. After a gruelling four years at Harvard University, she’s just four months away from graduation and she’s thriving in the Ivy Leagues. Smith was recently named one of the 22 Most Impressive Students at Harvard by Business Insider for her work in tearing down the stigma surrounding mental illness. Smith said it’s humbling to be recognized from among the 20,000 plus students who attend the school. “There are so many incredible students at Harvard, so to be named as one of the most impressive is a great honour,” she said while at home in Campbell River on a break before classes resume Jan. 28.

“I was surprised.” Smith was selected by Business Insider for her work with the Student Mental Health liaisons (SMHL), in which she’s striving to let students know it’s okay to ask for help with stress or mental illness. Smith joined the group of peer educators during her first semester at Harvard – in the fall of 2009 – became the recruitment and marketing chair in 2011 and co-president in 2012. As a peer educator, she has helped organized and implement mental health events, panels and campaigns, speaker eve n t s, d e p re s s i o n screenings and freshmen workshops. Her work with Student Mental Health also earned her the prestigious David and Mimi Aloian Memorial Scholarship last year. As one of four recipients, Smith was recognized for embodying the leadership traits of the late David and Mimi Aloian and for improving the quality of life in her dorm – Leverett House. Smith said upon arriving at Harvard it was an easy decision to get involved with

Meghan Smith, 21, of Campbell River sits by the Charles River, which borders Harvard University on two sides. Smith has just received the honour of being named as one of Harvard’s most impressive students. Student Mental Health because “a lot of people I truly care about have been affected by mental health disorders and the stigma surrounding mental health.” In the same fashion, during her second year at Harvard, she also became a Drug and Alcohol Peer Advisor, trained to educate on alcohol and other drugs and to raise awareness of responsible drinking practices and bystander intervention. “Similar to my reason for joining SMHL,

icy, and German, wants to be a doctor. It comes natural to Smith, who has always been helping others. Before going off to Boston for university, Smith was involved in various activities here in Campbell River, ranging from Timberline’s Interact and Global Issues clubs to the city’s Youth Advisory Committee to volunteering at Yucalta Lodge. In her spare time, she took dance classes at CR DanceXtreme. Smith applied to Har-

I have multiple people who are very close to me, who have suffered from addiction problems,” Smith said. “My interests in neuroscience, combined with my personal experiences, drew me towards this group.” Her interests in science and human health have also led her to pursue medical school, the next step for Smith after her graduation from Harvard this May. Smith, who studies neurobiology, global health and health pol-

vard after some ribbing from a high school friend while at Timberline. “I had a friend in high school who would joke with me about getting good grades,” Smith said. “He’d nudge me and say ‘Harvard, Megs, Harvard?’ when I’d get exams back in class,” Smith said. “One day I went home from school and started looking into Harvard, and thought, ‘why not apply? You never know...’” She was accepted and she’s enjoyed every minute of her experience. “I could talk for days about (Harvard),” Smith said. “I am constantly learning and meeting new people from all around the world. My experiences at Harvard have been incredible. The diversity of the Harvard community allows me to constantly learn both in and out of the classroom. There is a lot of support in the colle ge community. There is a sense of feeling that you will be supported in whatever you pursue.” Still, she said it’s nice to run into a fellow Canuck. “Some of my most

exciting times are when I meet other Canadians, particularly from Western Canada since there aren’t too many of us,” Smith said. “I can tell them I’m from Campbell River, rather than just Canada or Vancouver Island, and they know exactly where it is.” Despite the size of the school, Smith said she’s also been able to get to know her professors. “They’re available and willing to meet with students, giving us the opportunity to get to know them outside of the classroom,” she said. “They’re such interesting and accomplished individuals who seem to be genuinely interested in and passionate for the subjects they teach.” So is Smith, as is evident by the recognition she’s receiving. But it doesn’t come easy. On top of Smith’s obligations as a Student Mental Health liaison and Drug and Alcohol Peer Advisory, she is also on her dorm’s intramural crew women’s boat, part of Women in Science at Harvard-Radcliffe, and a member of the Harvard Canadian Club.

City faces $3.6 million deficit KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The city is forecasting a $3.6 million budget shortfall for 2012, according to preliminary fig-

ures. That’s up substantially from the last estimated budget deficit of $550,000 back in December. The picture looks bleaker now because of a change in the prop-

erty assessment value of the defunct Catalyst mill site. The BC Assessment Authority announced early last month that Catalyst no longer meets the requirements of a major industrial property, and

has been reclassified as business/ other, which means a significant reduction in Catalyst’s property taxes. That decision results in a loss of $1.8 million in tax revenue for

Royal Bank contributes to local kids mentoring program R B C Fo u n d a t i o n recently announced a generous donation of $10,000 to KidStart, as part of its commitment to investing in kids and youth to generate benefits for families and communities. KidStart is a volunteer-based mentoring program offered by The John Howard Society of North Island (JHSNI). This award-winning program connects vulnerable children and youth ages 6-18 with positive adult role models in Campbell River and the Comox Valley.

my life so I wanted to do the same for someone else.” KidStart depends on donations, grants, and fundraising. In addition to the $10,000 donation, RBC

also gave $500 to KidStart this year to recognize Phillips’ volunteer contribution. “If an employee volunteers for a community cause 40 or more hours per year, the bank will donate up to $500 to that charity,” Phillips explained. “It is fantastic to be volunteering for an organization that my employer supports to this level.” We n d y R i c h a r d son, JHSNI’s Executive Director, said the agency is delighted with RBC’s donations. “RBC’s generosity will make a real difference in the lives of children in Campbell River and the Comox Valley,” she said. “This funding will support mentors and mentees to have weekly visits, with a

Decades ago, journalism We say: Effective professors and instructors advised us to write to a Grade 5 level. communication Thankfully, for all involved, that is not a high has changed, although you could priority argue it hasn’t in some publications (not the one you are holding, of course). There are people, mainly in government-funded

jobs it seems, who feel the need to speak in a language that annoys more than communicates, talks down to people. Perhaps they are trying to justify the money they spent on their education, or perhaps they just don’t get it. Our office is full of degrees and diplomas. But it’s our job to communicate. It’s too bad some in positions of real influence don’t put effective communication high on their list of priorities. It’s not quite this mantra we are espousing, but it’s close: don’t use a $10 word when a $1 word will do. Call it double-speak, or bureaucrat-eze, or whatever

you like. It’s rampant in society and it hinders the effective communication of important messages. While we are admittedly having some fun with this today, there may be a serious side to this discussion. If important messages are not getting to the people for which they are intended, then the people whose salaries are paid by the taxpayer are not performing their jobs effectively. We sure hope we have mobilized this information today in a manner that creates the appropriate synergies in the communities we are nested. – Black Press

Great way to run a business On Dec. 27, 2012 our government extended the deadline for installations of smart meters. Not a week or a month but a year, to ensure BC Hydro has installed all the new meters. Looks like a great way to run a business. Who needs estimates or a business plan if our government will bail us out. Try doing that in private business. And as Hydro spokespersons tell us about how shortages in qualified labour, equipment and specialized meters, plus customer concerns, prevented BC Hydro from fully installing all smart meters in 2012, we’re told there’s a lot of misinformation out there. Sounds like they did their homework. Were Corix installers qualified and if they didn’t do their job, were they financially penalized? And didn’t they have all their equipment suppliers giving timelines for delivery? What does Gary Murphy get paid for? And I speak for my wife and I and, I’m sure, the majority of the customers who haven’t had installations that, yes, we have concerns and we refused , not delayed ,the installations.

Smart meter deniers make their last stand

Tom Fletcher B.C. Views

The news was trumpeted with alarm here on Vancouver Island, which along with the Gulf Islands is the heartland of tinfoil-hat opposition to smart meters. Of the 140,000 power customers who didn’t have a wireless meter by the end of the year, many have simply refused. Now BC Hydro has sent letters informing them “we can no longer delay the installation of a new meter at your home.” “StopSmartMetersBC” sent out a panicky e-mail advising its resistance movement to brace against “storm trooper tactics” from BC Hydro staff, and urging phone and fax attacks on their local MLA office. “Anger and outrage should be

expressed, in a quiet way, so that we don’t sound hysterical, but people are being threatened, police called, etc.,” the anonymous e-mail helpfully suggests. BC Hydro has also confirmed what I told you a few months ago. Those bogus locks, chicken wire cages and important-looking signs, which were sold like modern-day snake oil, have no legal effect to prevent the utility from working on its own equipment. These obstacles to inspection have been and continue to be removed, along with dangerous grow-op bypasses and fiddled mechanical meters. The technical arguments against wireless meters have been demol-

ished. False news reports and website claims still circulate, but no fires have been attributed to the installation of 1.7 million wireless meters in B.C. About 1,200 faulty meter bases have also been replaced at BC Hydro’s expense, and as crude power-theft bypasses have been removed, the incidence of electrical fires, already rare, has dropped substantially. Another popular myth is increased electricity bills. Yes, if your bypass is removed, your bill will go up. Like gas pumps, power meters are required by federal law to be accurate. Which brings us back to Team Tinfoil, which has been sold a cascading series of fantastic tales about the effect of wireless signals that are

already ever-present in all modern communities. A Toronto-based expert group called Bad Science Watch has tackled claims of “electromagnetic hypersensitivity” head-on. I highly recommend their 10-page report and qualifications at www.badsciencewatch.ca. In plain language, with references to the best available scientific studies, it describes the double-blind tests that prove people who claim this sensitivity are not actually able to detect when they are or are not being exposed to wireless signals. No X-Men candidates have come forward. It also exposes key “activists” in Continued on A9

BC Hydro and the Liberal government are being bullies about smart meters Filed for publication with the Mirror. Dear editor, Prime Minister Stephen H a r p e r, P r e m i e r Christy Clark and BC Hydro, When did I lose my freedom of choice to make healthy decisions about myself, family and land? Today, Jan. 17, I phoned BC Hydro and said I would not

be accepting a smart meter. I was threatened that if I did not comply, they would send the authorities. I phoned the RCMP and discovered they were not the authorit i e s. S o m e C o r i x employee would be the authorities. Freedom is the choice to believe what you want to believe. Love who you want to

love and live where you want to live. In Canada, all these things are true until now. Until the Liberal government signed a deal with Corix. Freedom means everything to me. This is why I cherish Canada. I will not have a smart meter even if it means living without power. Forcing something

unwanted on someone is abuse. BC Hydro and the Liberal government are being bullies. Smart meters are a form of control. If a gover nment does not value freedom of safety for its people, it should not be in power in Canada. My community and I did no ask for this. This is not progress. It is the opposite. It is

control and abuse. A single mom on disability has just been threatened to comply completely by a powerful, billion-dollar company that we citizens created. I’m sad for Canada’s peoples. Elections may be useful to a powerful billion dollar company. Evangeline Tate Quadra Island

Fletcher: Appeals to be made to the ignorant and superstitious Continued from A1 Canada. The most p r o m i n e n t i s D r. Magda Havas, an associate professor at Trent University who has “developed a career denouncing the safety of low-frequency electromagnetic radiation.” She gives speeches, promotes her book and has worked with one

David Stetzer to promote an “EMF filter” to sell to those who insist they feel what science shows they don’t. Havas has appeared on TV “news” shows with “activist-entrepreneur” Kevin Byrne. His website appears to be a hub of cell tower and smart meter scare reports, but it’s interspersed with prod-

uct pitches for EMF Solutions Canada, of which Byrne is coincidentally president. Then there’s “entrepreneur-activist” Rob Metzinger, president of something called Safe Living Technologies Inc. He doesn’t run a lurid scare website, but he’s appeared on CBC and CTV as some sort of author-

ity. (The main hazard emanating from TVs these days is bad information.) As the election approaches, a fight is gearing up between the NDP and the B.C. Green Party for the ignorant, superstitious and angry vote. The Greens in particular have damaged their credibility in a desper-

ate bid to quiet their own tinfoil-chapeau wing. There are bozo eruptions ahead. I’ll have more on that in a future column. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Managing Your Money Pre-authorized RRSP contributions 4x10 pay off large in the long run Ken Garraway CPP

Senior Financial Consultant

The RRSP contributions deadline is coming up fast. And while you may have every good intention of matching or increasing your contribution from last year – it can be dif¿cult and stressful to come up with a signi¿cant amount of cash in short order. Here’s a better plan for next year: a Pre-Authorized Contribution (PAC) program is a great strategy for getting the maximum amount of money into your RRSP eligible investments. When you PAC, you are simply setting up a regular payment plan – usually an automatic withdrawal from your bank account -- in an amount you can afford. Your investment starts growing right away, meaning it will likely enjoy more growth than if you wait until the end of the year. Plus, you may bene¿t from the magic of compounding returns which can produce a larger nest egg than contributing a lump-sum at the RRSP deadline.

A regular PAC becomes part of your budget as a monthly cash outÀow that you probably won’t miss and removes the temptation to spend those available dollars for personal consumption. When markets decline, automatic contributions allow you to purchase more mutual fundGROUP shares INVESTORS or units, resulting in a lower average cost over the long term. Here’s an example of the power of PAC-ing: You set up a regular investment plan to invest an amount you can afford – say, $250 into your RRSP eligible investments on the ¿rst of every month. At a compound annual return of 6.5%, you’ll have $278,000 of pre-tax assets after 30 years.* If you wait until the end of each year and invest a lump sum of $3,000 into your RRSP eligible investments (presuming you can up with that large chunk of cash on short notice) you’ll have only $259,100 of pre-tax assets after 30 years. By PAC-ing each month, you could potentially add

$18,900 to your retirement fund – and it doesn’t cost you an extra penny! In addition to the extra long-term tax-deferred appreciation, your contributions also deliver a nice tax bene¿t for the current tax year. PAC-ing removes the stress of ¿nding scarce dollars as the RRSP deadline looms and enhances your retirement income opportunities. It’s a good investment strategy and there are many others. Your professional advisor can help you PAC up all your life goals in one sound ¿nancial plan. *The rate of return is used only to illustrate the effects of the compound growth rate and is not intended to reflect future values or returns on investment.

Pest-ered by pests? U n i nv i t e d g u e s t s worm-ing their way into your garden? Feeling ear-itated by earwigs? Sign up for the Organic Pest Management workshop that runs Jan. 29 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. “Organic pest control and management involves sleuthing, studying, sometimes select spraying, and often the charming job of squishing and trapping,” says Marla Limousin, owner and farmer at Nature’s Way Farm in the Comox Valley. “Organic farming methods are based on naturally occurring biological processes. With a bit of understanding, you can use the natural environment to enhance plant productivity and pest resistance.” Observing and understanding your environment and the organisms you are dealing with – know-

ing your enemy! – is key. For example, a ladybug is a beneficial predator that will help keep down infestations of aphids, and the ladybug is most beneficial for pest control during the larval stages of its life cycle, when it resembles a 12 millimetre alligator. Many people would squish this bug, not knowing the benefits it brings to the garden. Limousin will facilitate the upcoming workshop, part of the Lettuce Grow series at North Island College. “We’ll talk about natural predators, planting schedules and plant health, creating spaces for natural insect predators, rotating crops to confuse pests and what controls are on the Organic Materials Review Institute certified list,” she explains. Workshop participants will learn how to control common garden pests without the

use of harmful chemical pesticides. Topics will also include the importance of healthy soil, creating habitat to attract beneficial insects and trap crops. Participants are encouraged to bring along samples or photos of pests and diseases from their fields or backyards. Speaking of beneficial organisms, slugs are a favourite snack for chickens and ducks, currently permitted in Campbell River in zones RU-1, RU-2 and RU-3. If you have any questions or comments on growing local food, send them to growlocal@campbellriver.ca. Your questions will be addressed in a future Q&A article.

Any questions, call Alistair Taylor, editor, at 250-287-9227. HEROES – Our heartfelt thanks to Josh and his friend who took time from a fun day on their ATV, to rescue our old dog, Jesse. She had allowed her nose to get her in trouble, crossed the Oyster river, got lost, and spent a very wet and cold night in the forest. Josh came across her, noted our phone number on her dog tag, and contacted us. In the meantime, we had been walking the bush calling and had become convinced we wouldn’t see our old gal again. She was all in, so they put her on the ATV and brought her out to a point where we could meet them. Jesse has recovered and we will be forever grateful to them for their compassion. Good people live in Campbell River. – Dick and Kathy Meston HEROES – My fabulous neighbours who stepped into action when one of my Saint Bernards bolted through my fence (literally) Halloween Night. They were inside with us until I let them out to go to the bathroom (in my securely fenced backyard) and she got spooked by a fire cracker and took off. I had taken a few minutes to settle my children into bed before I was going back to let them in. I truly appreciate the effort by everyone to find me (through facebook, family and neighbours) and to keep my Phoenix safe until my husband got there. I really, really appreciate it. This is why

I love my neighbourhood and thank each and every one of you who helped keep her safe. – Eliza Hay, Phoenix and her sister Melody (who slept thru the whole thing because she’s old and deaf). HERO – Ray of Island Overhead Doors who travelled out to our house in Black Creek on his day off to rescue us from a garage door that was stuck open. When Ray left, we had a “better than new” door, an understanding of what to do to keep it in good condition and a fine appreciation for the Christmas spirit of this Campbell River Company. – Pearl McKenzie, Black Creek HEROES – On Christmas Day our family lost a treasured link. A little farm house in Northern Alberta. My sister was one of the 10 that escaped the chimney fire. I would like to thank all the friends and family that helped me raise over $1,000 through a donations and a bottle drive which was held on Jan. 2. I would like to especially like to thank the staff at The Return It Center, numerous school district staff, the loving members at the Bethany Lutheran Church and the supportive Girl Guides of Canada. I am also grateful to the families in the Sandowne School area, The Scrap Chicks and Christian Life Daycare. Many thanks

to Mary K, Mary W, Judi, Rhonda and Lorna for countless hours they helped sort returnables, and for their love and support. Found were many cherished items such as books, a clarinet and an equestrian riding helmet. For these I tearfully thank Leslie, Audrey, Dan and Cindy. Your generosity will touch the heart of these children. Thank you to everyone. – Nicole Walker and the Walker Family HEROES – All who have supported us after the recent passing of my parents Forbes and Terry Brown (House of Forbes Jewellers). It has meant so much to know that others care. – Heather Dirks HEROES – All who where a part of the Serious Coffee’s “Holiday Concert of Hope” on Dec. 21. The event was very well attended and organized and all the proceeds were promptly donated to our Society – a very nice Christmas gift indeed! A huge thanks goes to Laura Mudge for being the main organizer of this event, your desire to support our cause is a beautiful thing! Thank you to Laura Riddell for holding the concert at Serious Coffee and supporting Laura! Thank you to the musical talent of Sean Hogan, Chandra Booth & Kyell Erickson, Cat & the B-sides, and PeterOut – all of whom donated their time & talent. Thanks to Calvin

Kalyniuk for the donation of his sound equipment and expertise. Thanks to Keith Spinks for helping with the tickets and at the show. And finally thanks to all of the theatre talent and also to every person that came out to enjoy the concert! Your support helps our Society continue the much-need End-of-Life & Bereavement support within our community. – Iona Wharton on behalf of the CR Hospice Society HEROES – Heroes are one way to describe the wonderful people who have so selflessly contributed to very important fund raising projects in support of the fight against cystic fibrosis in the last few months. First, stunning holiday cards with photographs by Erin Wallis and designed by Shannon Andrews, two creative and enthusiastic volunteers have been a

big hit with people from all parts of Vancouver Island. Printing was provided by Sure Copy (Ayaz – you’re incredible) and envelops donated by Monks Office Supply. Thank you to Balloons “N” More Party Shop, Appleseed Cottage, Stonehouse Teas, River Sportsman and Gourmet Essentials for displaying and selling these cards at such a busy time of year. And an extra special thank you to Curtis Smith, Pacific Coastal Wilderness and Craig Houston, Grizzly Helicopters for their large orders. Second, our Xmas raffle was made possible thanks to the generosity of prize donators including Bill Black, Bonni Roset and Beulah Carwithen, River Sportsman, Gail Reid, Marg Branchi, Don Kretlow, Frankie Hester, Ken Clark, Jeanne Stoppard and Krista Houston. Thanks also to Walmart, the Sportsplex, and Ironwood Commons for providing opportunities to sell tickets. The third project was a Cranberry Cookbook compiled by Barb Shook with great recipes and photos also by Barb Shook. The book was made possible with help from Lorie Leitz, CF volunteers and published by Kask Graphics. The funds raised from these

and other initiatives are making an incredible difference to the lives of people living with cystic fibrosis and their families. – Chris Black, Cystic Fibrosis Canada, Campbell River Chapter HEROES – Our appreciation and gratitude is sent from the organizing committee of The Seventh Annual Kids Only Christmas Shopping Day to our huge team of enthusiastic volunteers. You are our heroes; we couldn’t do it without you! This year, 68 local foster children and youth attended, made a contribution to the CR Food Bank and “shopped” for the perfect holiday gifts for their families. We thank our venue host Audrey Wilson and the staff of Laichwiltach Family Life Society. We also thank the Pioneer Home Hardware folks who provided the fresh popcorn. Our gratitude to our many generous sponsors for their donations of gifts items, door prizes, wrapping supplies and refreshments including Coho Books, Cornerstone Gift Books and Music, London Drugs, Home Depot, McDonald’s Restaurant, Payless Shoesource, Save-On-Foods, Shoe Warehouse, Spinners

Sports, Splashes Body Care, Staples Business Depot, Real Canadian Superstore, River City Medical staff, Walmart, Warehouse One and the kind donation from the Brown family. Special mention to the caring folks at Quinsam Coal Union and Quinsam Coal Corporation and to Linda Snagg and the Royal LePage Reality family for their continued big-hearted sponsorship of this event year after year! Of course a huge thank you to Santa who took time from his busy schedule to drop by. The organizers wish to especially note the commitment of the Parnell family who went above and beyond in their support of this event by donating gifts, delivering the door prizes to the draw winners, delivering the food donation to the food bank and the remaining new toys to the Knights of Columbus Hamper fund. – Judy Hollywood Bonnett, Foster Parent Support Service Society HEROES – On Saturday, Nov. 17, the Altrusa Club of Campbell River sponsored the Sing Along Mamma Mia at the Tidemark Theater. It was a great success and so much fun. We would like to send a boatload Continued on A12

Answer: Diabetes affects many Canadians each

year ~ it can lower your resistance to infection & can slow the healing process. The most common oral health problems associated Dr. Kevin Lathangue with diabetes are tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease which leads to tooth loss. When diabetes is not controlled properly, high sugar levels in saliva may help bacteria thrive. Plaque that is not removed can eventually harden (calcify) into calculus. When calculus collects above the gumline, it cannot be removed by brushing. This can create conditions that lead to chronic inflammation and infection in the mouth. Periodontal disease often is linked to the control of diabetes. For example, patients with inadequate blood sugar control appear to develop periodontal disease more often and more severely, and they lose more teeth than do people who have good control of their diabetes. Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning once a day between your teeth with floss and seeing your dentist regularly for an exam will help you to maintain your overall health.

It’s a first Carihi’s Senior Improv team made history at the Canadian Improv Games North Island Cup, by being the first Campbell River team to win the competition. The North Island Zone, which includes Carihi and teams from Vanier, Isfeld, Highland and Captain Meares, has a strong group of competitors from all schools, but the team from Carihi came out on top with strong performances from everyone. “It feels amazing to see our team grow over the past three years, and to be able to accomplish such a feat,” says Shane Murphy, a grade 12 student. The team is made up of mostly grade 12 students, so they have had several years to hone their skills, and they proved that hard work pays off with amazing characters and stories. “It’s great to take home the cup because it was our last shot at the North Island championship as most of the team is graduating!” says team member Abby Neufeld. The team performs Feb. 1-3 in Victoria, where they will try for the Vancouver Island Cup.

Gateway 3X4

CR FOURSQUARE Gateway Foursquare has a free clothing store to serve the community of Campbell River. We have clothes for all ages and invite you to come and see how we might assist you. Northgate Foursquare has been renamed to Gateway Foursquare

Quadra Island filmmaker Cory Doherty recently created the short film FAWN. The film has been a long time dream of Dohertyâ€™s. â€œMy mother bought me an 8 mm handheld video camera for my 15th birthday, and everything changed. After a year of having the camera pretty much taped to my hand, I ended up at Carihi where they had a media class, and the public education system all of a sudden had meaning!â€?

Fast forward 15 years to 2012, Doherty has worked his passion into reality. â€œIâ€™ve finally found my way back into the art form where I feel completely natural.â€? FAWN is a cautionary tale of retaliation and consequence in a world where nature, as life, is forced to live within the boundaries of men. The film stars Sonya Bingham and Jamin Shepit, was directed by local filmmaker Cory Doherty, and produced

by Demia Pictures. On Friday, the Heriot Bay Inn on Quadra Island is hosting a dinner in Herons, including a screening of FAWN and DJ dance to follow. This evening is to raise production funds for Dohertyâ€™s next movie, The Astronomer. Doherty, Bingham and Shepit will be present for Q&A period after the film. Seats are $39.95. Support this local filmmaker by reserving your seats: call 250-285-3322.

This adult black tailed deer enjoys a jaunt through the tall grass. Black tailed deer are the only type of deer found on Vancouver Island.

All of these problems can be exacerbated by over populations at feeding stations, this provides the perfect environment for parasites and potentially the diseases they carry to infect the weakened deer. It is very difficult not to want to help by feeding the deer that come to your property but by doing this you may push them over the edge causing their death. Many people try to help by providing high energy carbohydrates, like grain, alfalfa, apples and hay, which normally would be acceptable but when a deer is in a weakened state this food is too rich and results in

diarrhea, which leads to dehydration that eventually causes the deer to die. The fawns that are born in the early fall are especially vulnerable to digestive disorders as they are still trying to regulate their body temperatures and at the same time their muscles and bodies are still growing adding more stress to an already weakened immune system. M.A.R.S. now has a special fawn enclosure where we can care for orphaned fawns; once they are weaned they are transferred to another temporary home until they are released back into the local herd.

It takes 31 muscles to fold up this newspaper

To better understand the stresses of fawns raised in a captive situation, last year we tagged the 2012 fawn’s e a r s w i t h ye l l ow identifying numbers A1-A12; 2013 will be a series of B numbers. This infor mation will be passed along to the Ministry which is tracking the health of local wildlife species; if you see one please call us with the number and location. Please remember that adult deer can become aggressive if cornered by humans or if a dog or human comes between the doe and her fawn. If you hit or see a deer hit on the road where possible try to move it to the side and

report it to the RAPP line 1-877-952-7277 or Emcon 250-336-8897. “Expect deer on our roads slow down” If the deer dies on your proper ty you are responsible for its disposition. Deer are truly beautiful animals and with more understanding we can live in harmony with each other keeping them wild and healthy.

Most dental problems can be managed conservatively and inexpensively if caught early. As well, high magniﬁcation and other aids can detect small cavities that can often be restored without anaesthetic. Besides checking for cavities, a thorough dental exam includes periodontal health assessment and screening for oral cancer and other abnormalities. Certainly knowing one’s oral health status provides peace of mind.

Blazin’ Hazen heading for Special Olympics World Winter Games ALISTAIR TAYLOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

azen Meade may be peaking at the right time as he sets off for Seoul, South Korea tomorrow. Meade will be competing in the Special Olympics World Winter Games in three snowshoeing events. “I am hoping all these months of training has paid off,” Mead said. “I have started improving my times a little bit, so I am hoping.” Meade qualified for the world games being held in Seoul Jan. 29 Feb. 5 by finishing in the gold medal spot in the 1,600 metre race in the 2012 Special Olympics Winter Games in St. Albert, Alberta. Mead will compete for Team Canada in

the 1,600 metres, 800 metres and the 4 x 400 relay in Seoul. Meade is proud to represent his country and a little bit nervous about travelling to Asia. “I have never been outside North America,” Meade said. He will be accompanied to Seoul by Campbell River Special Olympics coach Maureen Brinson and, of course, the rest of Team Canada who will link up with them in Vancouver tomorrow at a send-off dinner. Attending the world games is a landmark for the 36-year-old Meade who has been competing in Special Olympics for 13 years. Besides snowshoeing, he competes in swimming, athletics, bowling and floor hockey. But competing in

the Special Olympics World Winter Games has been a longstanding goal of his

ever since friend and fellow Campbell River Special Olympian Paul Aubuchon com-

peted in the 2003 world games in Dublin, Ireland. “This was one of my

dreams,” he said. Meade’s goals are always straightforward.

He says he’s competitive but his competitiveness is focused on achieving his personal best every time. That’s how he measures success, not whether he wins or loses but by the personal standard he reaches. On Saturday night, Campbell River Special Olympics held a send off party for Meade attended by athletes, coaches and families. It was a night that also saw the man responsible for getting snowshoeing into Special Olympics, Harvey Hunter, receive a Queen’s Jubilee medal for his contributions to Special Olympics (see below).

He used to run up and down a hill on their street. “Then one day, he showed up at the Association (for Community Living),” Brinson said. Eventually, Brinson and Meade attended their first snowshoe competition.

His berth on Team Canada has been earned through his dedication, positive and persistent attitude and his commitment to his training and development. Meade has been described has caring, polite, enthusiastic, dedicated, responsible, upbeat, positive and persistent. As an athlete with autism, Meade has overcome challenges in staying focused but he has built up his

ability to stay focused for lengthy periods. He has also learned to channel his energy into his athletic abilities. He has been a representative for Special Olympics in Campbell River who is a willing to share his Special Olympics stories in everything from speeches at events and meetings to media interviews. He works four days a week as a prep cook for a local business, a

job he has held for 13 years. He also delivers the Campbell River Mirror to keep himself in shape and earn travel money.

Teal Harle, a 16 year old boy who lives on Mount Washington where he attends the Podium of Life Snow Sports Academy, won two golds and a silver at a BC Series freestyle skiing event, called the Timber Tours, in Apex over the weekend. The first gold came in the slopestyle event where he slid a rail sideway, then slid a long, flat down-rail, then hit the first jump and did a Cork 9 Mute (two and a half rotations in the air at an angle while grabbing your ski) and landed

backwards. Then while skiing backwards toward the last jump, he took huge air and did a Switch Bio 9 Grab (two-and-a-half rotations off kilter while grabbing your ski). The second gold came in the Big Air competition where he again performed a Switch Bio 9 Grab. The degree of difficulty for this off-axis maneuver was the highest performed in the competition. Harle struck again with a silver medal in moguls, which is skiing huge bumps, then hitting a jump, then

He was the fastest down the course and performed the most dif ficult tricks, but was outclassed by a Japanese skier in the turns. “I was very happy with the whole event, and lucky enough to come out on top,” commented Teal. “I am fortunate to be able to train every day as part of my school curriculum.”
