Hydro project is more good economic news PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The $940-million project to replace the John Hart Generating Station is another positive economic step for the city, says Mayor Walter Jakeway. “This is wonderful…this is Fort McMurray-sized project,” the mayor said Tuesday, referring to the Alberta oil sands boom town. On Friday, after years of planning by BC Hydro, the B.C. Utilities Commission finally approved the project to replace the generating station on the Campbell River. The Commission green-lighted the $940-million project which will see the replacement of the 66-year-old John Hart Generating Station over the next five years. As well, the three above-ground pipelines, which carry water from John Hart Lake to the electrical generators, will be replaced with a 1.8-kilometre tunnel. “We are pleased the Commission has recognized the importance of upgrading an aging facility that has been operating since 1947,” said Energy Minister Rich Coleman in a news release. “Now we can ensure the facility will continue to deliver clean, reliable power to Vancouver Island.” In addition to the hundreds of jobs created by the project, as well

as the spinoff economic opportunities, the city will benefit by having its main water pipeline replaced. BC Hydro is picking up most of the cost for the replacement while the city is contributing $6 million. “It will be done first before any of the other construction begins,” said Jakeway. In recent years, city council has faced some lean economic times, but the mayor is optimistic things are changing for the better. In addition to the massive hydro project – and over the same fiveyear period – the Campbell River Hospital will be replaced with a new $266-million, 95-bed facility. There’s also the new Berwick seniors’ home to be built downtown as well as the new fivestorey head office for Seymour Pacific Developments and Broadstreet Properties Ltd. Other developments include the new apartment complex under construction on Dogwood Street and Merecroft Road, a shopping centre at Dogwood and Hilchey Road, two new condominiums on Petersen Road, a new Mr. Lube at Mariner Square, the new residential tower for women and children on Dogwood and 11th Avenue, and more. “There are at least 14 projects Continued on A3

tre long tunnel; constructing a replacement generating station beside the existing station and building a new water bypass facility. There are three main reasons for the project: Safety: the generating station and pipelines may not withstand a low to moderate earthquake. Reliability: the six generating units are in poor condition and their capacity is declining. Environment: an unplanned generating station shutdown and river flow reduction would harm fish habitat.

Hydro Project Since most of Vancouver Island’s power supply comes from the Lower Mainland, the John Hart generating facility ensures the province’s second largest load centre has reliable power. The project will foster economic development in the region – creating about 400 jobs and sustaining them over five years of construction. The commission’s approval of the project comes after five years of project planning by BC Hydro, feedback from the Campbell River community, and a regulatory review process that lasted close to one year. “BC Hydro would like to thank the customer and other stakeholder groups who participated in the regulatory process, government agencies, and local community and business organizations who played a key role in shaping this project,” said BC Hydro executive VP Chris O’Riley. “Equally important are the agreements we have with Campbell River area First Nations, which will form the foundation for a longterm relationship based on respect.” Next steps in the project include obtaining legislative approval of a parks boundary adjustment and choosing a preferred proponent to design

Project benefits include: Protecting fish: if the replacement generating station was forced out of service, the new water bypass facility would allow for continued river flow to protect fish and fish habitat. Smaller footprint: reducing BC Hydro’s facility footprint by removing the three pipelines that are 3.66 metres in diameter and1.8-kilometre long. Powering Vancouver Island: ensuring a continuous supply of reliable, clean and costeffective energy to Vancouver Island customers. After the project is completed, the John Hart power supply will increase by more than seven per cent – from 778 gigawatt hours per year to 835 gigawatt hours or enough power to supply about 80,000 homes. Reducing seismic risk: increasing the seismic withstand of the water conveyance and generating station facilities – reducing the potential environmental, financial, social and safety impacts from an earthquake.

Mounties are on the hunt for a thief suspected in a rash of residential break and enters. RCMP have identified a suspect involved in a Feb. 6 break-in at a Willow Creek Road home. The owner returned to find the patio door open, her bedroom ransacked and jewelry missing. The Forensic Identification Section processed the scene and found evidence to suggest this break and enter is linked to other recent residential B&Es. A description of the suspect was not released.

Coal workers nab metal thief Quinsam Coal employees apprehended a woman who tried to steal $15,000 worth of copper wire from the mine last Thursday. It was just around 8:30 a.m. when the workers caught the woman in the act. She was riding an all-terrain vehicle that had been stolen out of Nanaimo and had already bundled up the copper wire when she was nabbed. However, a male accomplice fled on foot and a search by the police dog failed to pick up his track. A 34-year-old Chemainus woman is facing charges of break and enter, and possession of stolen property over $5,000. She is due to appear in Campbell River provincial court on April 22. Mounties are still trying to identify and arrest the male suspect.

POLICE BEAT

Accident, drugs found Drugs are believed to be a factor in an accident that occurred on the afternoon of Feb. 5. According to police, a blue GMC Envoy was heading west on 16th Avenue near Maple Street when the female driver crossed the centre line and side-swiped an oncoming white Chevrolet Astro. Both drivers received minor injuries in the collision. The 23-year-old female driver of the Envoy was believed to under the influence of narcotics and is facing impaired driving charges. The woman and her 17-year-old passenger are also facing drug possession charges.

Mounties are concerned after receiving at least three reports of objects being thrown at moving vehicles. “People in the vehicle, including children, can be injured by the flying objects. This has potential for serious injury and this behaviour has to stop,” said RCMP Cpl. Poppy Hallam. On Feb. 5, at 4:16 p.m., police responded to a complaint at the Island Highway and Perkins Road. The caller said a male, wearing a grey hoodie, threw an item at her car as she drove by which cracked her windshield. She pulled over, but the youth ran and was not located by police. On Sunday, at 7:51 p.m., police attended Dogwood Street, near 9th Avenue, after someone was throwing objects at vehicles from the road side. Officers were unable to find the culprits. Then on Monday, at 1:30 a.m., police were called to Dogwood and 7th Avenue where a male reported that someone threw a rock at his vehicle as he was driving. Three males dressed in black were seen fleeing the area.

On the trail of Jim English Genealogist tracks down legendary hotel owner at request of family LAUREL LAHAY SPECIAL TO THE MIRROR

I read the query by Mari English Rose from the U.K. in the Campbell River Mirror on Feb. 8 regarding her search for the family of James (Jim) Albert English (owner of the Quinsam Hotel) and his wife, Margaret Marshall who used to reside in Campbell River. She also mentioned two children: Robert and E.C. Higgins. I’m a member of the Campbell River Genealogy Society. While I was not able to help her find her living Canadian relatives, I was able to provide her with some useful

information about this family along with the applicable websites. I decided to send my reply to the Mirror in order that this information may assist others with their family history research and to let others know about the resources offered online as well as through the Campbell River Genealogy Society. There are many B.C. online databases that are free to access. Many images of B.C. death registrations are now online for the years 1872 to 1991 at B.C. Archives ( http://search-collections.royalbcmuseum. bc.ca/Genealogy/

BasicSearch). I located the death registration for James Albert English. As Mari stated, he died in 1961 in Campbell River, and when I viewed his death registration, I discovered that he had been divorced. His occupation was given as “hotel operator,” and although he died in Campbell River, he was cremated and then buried in Victoria at the Royal Oak Burial Park. The informant on his death registration was listed as his son, R. English. The B.C. Archives website has many online images of marriage registrations from 1872 to 1936. I found the marriage registration of James Albert English to Margaret Marshall. At the time of their marriage in 1921, the occupation of James was listed

as a pool room operator in Cumberland, B.C. Margaret’s place of birth was given as Scotland. There was also a death registration for Elmer C. Higgins from Campbell River. He died on Jan. 24, 1966 and his wife’s name was given as Margaret English and she was the informant at his death. According to the death registration of James A. English, his birthdate was recorded as Feb. 3, 1884, in Durham, England. On a whim, I checked the Library and Archives Canada – Soldiers of the First World War database but could not find an attestation paper for James Albert English (http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/ databases/cef/001042100.01-e.php).

COMMUNITY UPDATE 6x6.5 6x6.5 FEBRUARY 13, 2013

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE

NOTICE OF PROPOSAL TO RE-ESTABLISH WILLOW POINT BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT AREA The NoĆ&#x;ce is hereby given that the City of Campbell River, in cooperaĆ&#x;on with the Willow Point Business Improvement Area AssociaĆ&#x;on (WPBIA), is proposing to re-establish the Willow Point Business Improvement Area for a 5 year term. Over the past 5 years the owners of Class 6 (Business/Other) property lying within the Willow Point Business Improvement Area (WPBIA) have paid a â€œlocal service taxâ€?. The tax is collected by the City of Campbell River to be used by the WPBIA to operate a â€œbusiness promoĆ&#x;onal schemeâ€?. The funds raised through the local service tax have enabled the WPBIA to promote Willow Point through markeĆ&#x;ng and beauĆ&#x;ÄŽcaĆ&#x;on projects. The boundaries of the WPBIA are deÄŽned on the following map. In order for the WPBIA to conĆ&#x;nue operaĆ&#x;ng, City Council must adopt a new bylaw which would re-establish the WPBIA for 5 years. The AssociaĆ&#x;on has asked that the bylaw be processed as a â€œCouncil iniĆ&#x;aĆ&#x;veâ€? under the authority of the Community Charter â€“ Part 7, Division 5. Under the â€œCouncil iniĆ&#x;aĆ&#x;veâ€? method, Council may, by bylaw, proceed with the renewal of the WPBIA unless at least 50% of the owners of the parcels that would be subject to the local service tax sign a peĆ&#x;Ć&#x;on against, and the persons signing are the owners of parcels that in total represent at least 50% of the assessed value of land and improvements that would be subject to the local service tax. WPBIAâ€™s proposed budget is: $17,840 in 2013, $18,732 in 2014, $19,668 in 2015, $20,651 in 2016 and $21,685 in 2017, with increases of 5% per year over the next 4 years.

Judge reflects on judicial review of horse access permit A struggle between public and private played out in BC Supreme Court this week. The judicial review, initiated by Friends of Strathcona Park, focused on the provincial government’s decision to allow a private resort to have horse access to parkland, counter to the park’s use plan, according to the environmental group. After hearing both sides, Honourable Justice Sigurdson has decided to reserve judgment until a later date. “We hope that this case will help set a precedent ensuring protection of our province’s parks,” says Bridget Horel, a spokesperson for the group in a press release. “The granting of this permit is being challenged on the grounds that the Minister of the Environment never considered whether or not the permit was necessary,” Scott Bernstein, lawyer for Friends of Strathcona Park, says. Bernstein says “while government looked at whether it was financially beneficial to them, they

United Way falls short of goal in Campbell River The United Way Central & Northern Vancouver Island (UWCNVI) fundraising campaign Change Starts Here wrapped up in early January and most of the donations and pledges are in. While just under $1 million was raised throughout the Central Island, Comox Valley and Campbell River area, the Campbell River campaign did not meet its target raising only$ 91,500 of the $125,000 target. “We know campaign is down because of the economy. That, however, is only part of it. We need to recruit a strong campaign cabinet in Campbell River for the 2013 campaign,” said Signy Madden, Executive Director, UWCNVI.

did not address the key question, whether it was necessary to preserve and maintain the existing recreational values of the Park, as is required by the Park Act.” A lawyer for the BC government, Leah Greathead, suggests in her argument that the jurisdiction of ministers and bureaucrats is beyond the reach of the court. She continued that the minister had full authority, under the Park Act, to make the decision that he made. “It seems as though our province is saying that the public and the courts have no place in questioning the decisions they make, Horel says. “We believe that provincial parks are to be kept for the public and that the public does have a right to say whether or not parks can be sold, privatized or commercialized.” The judicial review concluded Friday, Feb. 8 but the public will have to wait to hear the outcome of this court case until a written decision has been provided.

“Local leadership is vital and so we are putting the call out to people to join us. “Campaign experience is valuable to those building their careers and rewarding for those who just want to keep the community strong through locally funded programs. Twenty-six workplaces ran employee campaigns and many local companies made donations. The top employee campaigns included Nrystar Myra Falls, VIHA Campbell River, London Drugs and RBC Campbell River. “Thank you to everyone who worked hard on campaign this year,” said Jim Forsyth, UWCNVI board member and leadership donor. “Our

donors and employee campaign co-ordinators are amazing people who care about helping others through United Way funded programs.” Donations directly help hundreds of people in our community through the amazing work by our 10 community partners who support kids to be all they can be, empower people to move from poverty to possibility and help create healthy, strong communities. The 2012/13 partners are: ■ Campbell River Adult Care ■ Campbell River Family Services Society ■ Campbell River North Island Transition Society ■ Canadian Red Cross – Equipment

Hydro announcement is the jolt we need Although it was expected, the news that the B.C. Utilities Commission has approved the John Hart Dam upgrade is welcome. A year-long regulatory approval process came to a close with the We say: Aging announcement Friday that the massive, $940-million project has facility will been approved. The commission’s generate 400 approval of the project comes after construction jobs five years of project planning by BC Hydro, feedback from the Campbell River community, and a regulatory review process that lasted close to one year. The shot in the arm

this project will provide Campbell River cannot be underestimated, particularly at a time when the local economy is in the doldrums. The project will directly provide 400 jobs over a five-year construction period but the spin-off benefits will boost the economy significantly more than that. But this isn’t a make-work project designed to inject cash and reflect glowingly on politicians. This is a much-needed project that has real merit. The commission determined the project was the most cost-effective option to address the significant reliability, seismic, environmental and fisheries issues associated with the 66-year-old facility.

The project briefly caught the eye of Liberal Energy Minister Rich Coleman who wondered out loud if the publicly-owned utility should be spending this kind of money at this time. It didn’t take long for BC Hydro officials to convince Coleman that the project has merits. He stated Friday, “We are pleased the Commission has recognized the importance of upgrading an aging facility that has been operating since 1947.” Preparation work is well underway and the community has been anticipating this shot in the arm for some time. It is, dare we say, electrifying news.

We still need libraries 8

Re: “Taxed to death in Campbell River,” Mirror, Feb.

Mike Richmond’s analogy comparing libraries to door-to-door salesmen selling encyclopedias is illinformed. He is correct about one thing: everything, or almost, is on the computer – including our library. Libraries are repositories for books, sure, but our library is much more than books. Our library offers free programs for kids and teens, lends eBooks and eReaders, audio books, CDs, DVDs, and digital magazines, and provides computer facilities, Internet access, and information. The library is our community space for the confluence of people and ideas. Why do we need libraries when we have the Internet? Author Neil Gaiman knows: “Google can bring you back 100,000 answers, a librarian can bring you back the right one.” Mike isn’t the first to declare the death of books, and he won’t be the last. The publishing industry is in a transitional phase, but U.S. statistics from the last decade show more titles are being published in print, Continued on A9 We welcome your opinions on stories and issues published in our pages as well as issues of broader concern encountered elsewhere.

Independent MLAs have a dream of their own

Tom Fletcher B.C. Views

Imagine a province where party leaders are chosen in an independently-supervised vote, with 12-yearolds, dead people and pets prevented from voting. Imagine a province where roving gangs of influence-seekers aren’t allowed to join multiple parties, and the rule is actually enforced. One where corporations and unions have to advertise in their own name instead of financing political parties and then disclosing millions in donations months after the election is over. Imagine a province where elections are held based on audited financial statements, not a collection of election promises that will be dismissed as a work of fiction by the new regime

if the incumbent party is defeated. A cat joined the B.C. Liberal Party to support Christy Clark. Adrian Dix won the NDP leadership with the help of bags of $10 bills stapled to new memberships. As parties go to online voting, multiple PIN numbers may be activated from the same phone number or the same address. These and other glaring problems with our party-based political system were highlighted last week in a set of reforms proposed by three independent MLAs. Vicki Huntington broke the party choke-hold on B.C. politics by getting elected as an independent in Delta South in 2009. Bob Simpson was kicked out of the NDP caucus shortly after winning re-election for the party in Cariboo North, because

he dared to criticize then-leader Carole James for a lack of policy specifics. They were belatedly joined by Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen, who quit the B.C. Liberals in an orchestrated move to the B.C. Conservatives, and then quit that party soon after. Van Dongen does not have the credibility of the others to speak on integrity, given his self-serving party antics and his questionable decision to hire his fiancée and pay her one and a half salaries to serve as his constituency assistant. Leaving that aside, there are some good ideas in the independents’ reform package. One is to give backbench MLAs a meaningful role in policy-making.

Simpson gave the example of Prince George MLA Shirley Bond’s term as education minister, where she had to reverse ministry policies that didn’t make sense in rural school districts. The all-party standing committee on education could have prevented this error, he said, but it didn’t because it never meets. The party voting irregularities described above could be addressed by giving Elections BC authority to supervise party leadership votes, the way it does elections and referenda. There are unknown costs for this, and other problems. For instance, should the Marijuana Party be subject to this, or the Work Less Party, should either one muster enough Continued on A9

Library comment irks readers Continued from A8

and more books are being sold than ever before. North American libraries have growing memberships and increasing circulation. Vancouver Island Re g i o n a l L i b r a r y, which operates Campbell River’s library, opened new branches in Bella Coola, Gabriola Island, and Quadra Island in 2012. Construction on new library branches is underway in Cowichan Lake, Cumberland, and Nanaimo. Courtenay and Comox have superb, modern facilities. I am happy there’s talk of a new library – the community of Campbell River

deserves one. Matt Hinch

Libraries are more than just books It may come as a surprise to the writer of the note, “Taxed to death in Campbell River”, but one can find other things in a public library besides encyclopaedias; some of the most important being ideas captured in books, journals, newspapers and magazines. Mr. Richmond seems to share the opinion of the Federal government when it closed the research library at Pacific Forestry Centre in Victoria. Namely,

cost savings make closure necessary and computers are replacing books anyway. Like the Federal government, Mr. Richmond is only looking at part of the total cost equation. Before we burn the books to power the computers and step into the resulting darkness maybe we could integrate some of those bookish ideas with human innovation to create a sustainable regional economy so we need not be “taxed to death”. William L. Wagner

Not dead yet Surely it is a little early to be predicting the demise of libraries

in 2013 because encyclopedias are available online? Online encyclopedias provide such general information that they do not even have to be cited in a Reference List. Chances are that, in the future, print books will co-exist with an e-form of delivery, but even that e-book will likely be rented by the library, lent out to be downloaded onto your (expensive) e-book reader, and will have to be returned in two weeks. So much for computers replacing libraries. A library serves the entire community. A delighted child leaves with a bag of books,

a student comes in to research and study, a senior reads two or three newspapers he doesn’t have to subscribe to and the rest of the community use the library to borrow novels and how-to books, to read history, browse periodicals. They take out music CDs, borrow DVDs, audio-books for the hard of hearing, large-print books for the sight challenged, check their e-mails, consult with the research librarian, listen to story telling. It is a place of intellectual pursuit, available to all. Funding a library is one of the most democratic uses of our tax dollars. Margaret Nyland

Fletcher: Independents’ proposals have some merit Continued from A8 organization to stage a leadership contest? The independents had high hopes for one fundamental reform, moving B.C.’s set election date from the spring to the fall. This

would take a simple amendment. The idea is for the government to table the annual budget, present the audited public accounts for the previous year, then have an election that rests on tested finan-

cial statements and initial results for the current forecast. Both the B.C. Liberal Party and the NDP have expressed support for this idea. The independents suggest that this brief three-week legis-

lative session is a good time to do it, so the next government can implement it. I asked Mike de Jong, the B.C. Liberal finance minister and house leader, if he would consider it. He allowed that it is

interesting, but it’s not contemplated for the pre-election session. That will be dominated by returning the provincial sales tax, and the usual jousting over untested spending and revenue proposals.

Burn awareness can keep kids safe from scalds I t t a ke s o n ly a moment, but the damage from scalding hot liquids can last your child a lifetime. Scald â€“ the most common cause of burns to children â€“ were the focus of the 17th annual Burn Awareness Week. B u r n Aw a re n e s s Week ran from Feb. 3-9, and provided opportunities for parents, caregivers and children to learn how to prevent scalds and other burns. You can take simple steps to reduce hazards at home, where the vast majority of these preventable injuries happen. Research shows the majority of Canadian parents are not aware that the most common cause of burn injuries to children is scalds from hot liquids, such as spilled hot drinks and hot tap water. Here are some valuable tips. In the bathroom: â– Adjust the temperature on your hot water heater to 49 Celsius (120 Fahrenheit). Most

home hot water heaters in Canada are set at 60Â°C (140Â°F). At that temperature, a childâ€™s skin can burn in one second. â– If you are unable to control the temperature that comes out of your hot water heater, install scald-resistant faucets in sinks, showers and bathtubs that children use. These fixtures have built-in thermostats to control the maximum temperature of the water. Set the thermostat so that the water temperature does not exceed 50Â°C (120Â°F). â– When using taps, turn cold water on

first, then add hot water and adjust the temperature. Reverse the order when turning water off: hot water off first, then cold. â– Always test young childrenâ€™s bath and sink water before they use it. Never leave bathing children unattended. They may turn on the hot water or slip in your absence. In the kitchen: â– Keep hot liquids like coffee, soup and tea in a mug with a tight-fitting lid, such as a travel cup. â– When cooking, ensure pot handles are out of childrenâ€™s reach

and tur ned toward the back of the stove. Teach your children never to touch anything on the stovetop or open the oven. In the living room: â– Make sure to place a barrier around your gas fireplace. The glass of a gas fireplace can heat up to 200Â°C (400Â°F) in just six minutes and take 45 minutes to cool down. Other tips: â– Teach children about the dangers of fire and supervise them. â– When outdoors, keep your child away

from barbecue grills and campfires. â– If your child is bur ned, place the burned area in, or flush it with, cool water as quickly as possible. Keep the burned area in the cool water for 10 to 15 minutes. Never use ice, ointments or butter.

Itâ€™s getting to be that time of year again, when the daylight lasts a little longer each day and fresh green shoots start pushing their way out of the soil. As spring approaches many of us get the urge to get our hands dirty and get back to working in the garden. So once again, Campbell River ElderCollege is offering another series of unique talks a i m e d at e n h a n c ing seniorsâ€™ g reen thumbs. The series begins on Friday and runs for six weeks, starting at 10 a.m. Each week features a different gardening topic.

If you donâ€™t know where to start or how to proceed Hans Rhenisch, gardener extraordinaire, will start with the why, how and where to plant, not to mention what. Avoid or relieve those aches and pains often associated with gardening. Re g i s t e re d p hy s iotherapist Bev Oâ€™Sullivan will show participants how to prepare their bodies for gardening. She will also illustrate relaxation techniques and provide an introduction to horticulture therapy. Back by popular demand, Rick Monchak will share his love and expertise in growing dahlias. Bring your garden clippers for a hands-on exercise in cutting dahlia tubers. Dr. Thierry Vrain will talk about the effect of global warming on agriculture. The retired biologist

from the Department of Agriculture, who is also an avid gardener, is expected to provide a thought-provoking discussion. Trains in the garden? What a wonderful and whimsical idea! Chris Cracklow will bring in photos of his and other gardens with trains. He will explain how the buildings are constructed, how to choose plants that are in proportion, as well as grading. An information and plant exchange will be part of the session so that students can brainstorm and learn from each other. Pre-registration is required and the fee for the six-part series is $30 (plus HST). All ElderCollege classes are open to anyone aged 50 plus. You can register in person at North Island College or online at www.nic.bc.ca/eldercollege.

Kids cook up a storm K

ids can learn to prepare awesome meals and snacks… without burning the house down. Are your kids hungry after school? Are they starting to prepare meals and snacks on their own? It’s a scary thought giving your kids full access to the kitchen for the first time. The City of Campbell River Recreation and Culture department can help prepare you and your kids for

this next step in your family’s life. Foodie Kids is a program that runs Mondays at the Community Centre from 3-4:30 p.m. Participants will learn basic kitchen safety, how to prepare simple but scrumptious snacks and compile a cookbook of recipes and cooking tips to take home. Lin Kohlhofer will be teaching this course. Kohlhofe has been teaching cooking to

kids for years with the Recreation Department and is looking forward to the newest batch of chefs joining her in the kitchen. Foodie Kids is held at the Community Centre on Mondays from 3-4:30 p.m. starting Monday, Feb. 18 and ending March 11. Space is limited. Arrange for your child and a friend to sign up today! Have a Facebook account? Find out about upcoming events on the Recre-

ation Departments Facebook Page at www.facebook.com/ Campbellriverrec For more details for this program or any other youth activities please check out the City of Campbell River Recreation & Culture’s Recreation Guide or call the Sportsplex, 923-7911 or Community Centre, 286-1161. You can also see the guide on line at www. campbellriver.ca. Just click on the Recreation Guide Icon.

Managing Your Money The retirement conversion

Does the thought of your kids being set loose in the kitchen terrify you? Send them to the Foodie Kids program at the Community Centre to learn the cooking skills they need to make their way around pots, pans and utensils.

Mulberry, black currants, cedar – and in time, hints of rockrose and spice – frame the aromatic proﬁle of this vibrant Portuguese blend. Raspberry, blackberry and plum play on the tongue while hints of tobacco compete with subtle notes of cedar, vanilla, and toast. This is an excellent stand alone sipper.

My Doctor says I have Plantar Fasciitis…. what is that?

Having been a Registered Nurse for many years, it is obvious to the eye, the elderly need good personal care, but with caregivers that really care enough to be Josie Coak there. Retired Registered Nurse With Charcare, I am going to be there for you asking a simple question; “what would you like included in your activities of daily living”. The services I offer will be ingoing and outgoing care which will allow you to stay in control of your life, and stay in your own home. I want you to feel that this can be accomplished, either the decision made by yourself or a family member.

Plantar fasciitis is inﬂammation of the thick tissue on the bottom of the foot. This tissue is called the plantar fascia. It connects the heel bone Dean Clark, to the toes and creates Physiotherapist the arch of the foot. There are several variables that may increase your likelihood of suffering from plantar Fasciitis such as time spent on feet, walking on concrete, heavy vibration to the feet and foot shape to name a few. Physiotherapy has many techniques to assist in settling plantar fasciitis down and returning you to the regular life you enjoy!!!

What fa factors affect how often I should change my veh vehicles oil? Every vehi vehicle manufacturer has a different rrecommended schedule which can range from every 10,000 km to every 20,000 km. But the fac fact remains that your engines ne needs are determined by your drivin driving style, the weather, Lyle Wolfe and the ar area in which you drive Owner the car. An aggressive driving style will ccause more engine stress and cause the lubricants to be cons consumed at a rapid rate. Cold weather affects the viscosity o of oil and this can inﬂuence the need to have the oil cha changed on a different schedule. Dusty or sandy environme environments will also affect your engine’s performance and the cleanli cleanliness of the oil can be affected as well. All of these factors affe affect the frequency with which your oil will need to be chan changed, so there is no single deﬁnite rule that you can follow. follow The professionals at Great Canadian Oil Change will help yyou determine the right schedule for you.

How often should I clean my ﬁlter cartridge?

Who are we and what do we offer?

Depending upon bather load, it is generally a good practice to rinse your filter cartridge every other week with fresh water from a garden hose to dislodge hair and other foreign matter. Every 3 to 4 months, and with each water change, your filter cartridge should be Terry Collins, Owner soaked in a filter-cleaning compound designed for this purpose.We recommend the rotation method: have two filters on hand, one in the spa and a clean, dry spare. Remove the dirty filter and rinse thoroughly, being careful to spray between the pleats. Soak the filter in a 5-gallon bucket of cleaning solution, overnight or according to the instructions on the package.You can now install your clean spare while the dirty one is soaking. After soaking, rinse again and set aside to dry completely.With this method, your filters will last much longer, and you will never have to wait to use your spa.

Ask Your r e v i R l l e b p m Ca

S T R E P X E Why is ﬂuoride so important?

First of all, make it a rule for everyone in the house to stop leaving any type of food anywhere on the countertops or kitchen table. If your dog continually gets rewarded by stealing something off the counter even if it’s a tiny morsel - his chances of continuing to steal are about 100%!! Dogs keep doing what gets them a reward, and always getting food off the counter makes it a very worthwhile behavior for your dog.

Fluoride has long been a topic of debate and although fluoride use has its critics, the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention consider the introduction of fluoride to improve oral health one of the top 10 great public health Dr. Kevin Lathangue achievements of the 20th century. Fluoride has a very unique property in that it can replace Calcium in our enamel. So when our teeth are exposed to acid (which is how decay starts) the acid leaches (pulls) calcium out of our enamel thereby weakening our teeth. Fluoride, when available, replaces the calcium in our enamel and makes our teeth more resistant to acid. So, in essence, fluoride makes our teeth stronger because acid from bacteria won’t be as effective at decaying our teeth. It’s still very important to brush and floss because, even with fluoride replacing our calcium, our teeth are still susceptible to decay. So 2-3 minutes twice a day for brushing and flossing every day is still the Canadian Dental Association recommendation.

The customer’s ﬁrst thought is to keep it around the house, or garbage it.

How do I stop my dog from stealing food off my kitchen counter?

If you see him starting to sniff along the counter, distract him with a command like “Look!” (which should mean stop what he’s doing and redirect to you), and reward him with a treat or a chance to go play outside in the yard. Sometimes tossing a treat onto the ﬂoor after he’s left the counter area will begin to have him look towards the ﬂoor for his reward instead of the counter. If you can’t be sure he won’t “score” from the counter, strategic placements of baby gates to keep him from getting rewarded will be something that will work for you. Yelling at him won’t stop him, and in some cases he’ll see the yelling as attention and you may make the problem worse. Bottom line is, don’t give him anything he’ll be able to steal.

These are defects that are not discoverable through a reasonable inspection of the property. “Material Latent Defects” are considered to be defects that render the property dangerous or potentially dangerous to the occupants, Jenna Nichol are unﬁt for habitation, are unﬁt REALTOR® for the purpose which the party is known to be acquiring it for, involve great expense to remedy and/or lack the appropriate municipal or other permits associated with the Real Estate. Some examples of these would be the use of the property for the growth or manufacture of illegal substances or a structural change made to a building without the proper permits. Luckily for Buyers, the Real Estate Council requires that a seller and the seller’s agent must disclose any known material latent defects to a Purchaser before a contract is entered into.

What is a Material Latent Defect?

» Real Estate

Dental care for your pet may be more important than you think. The accumulation of bacteria laden plaque above the gumline can lead to long term oral health issues. Recent studies have demonstrated there is an association between oral health and overall general health issues affecting the kidney, Dr. Peter Woodward heart and metabolic systems. The statistics are high and approximately 85% of pets have periodontal disease by age 3 years. It is a good idea to become comfortable opening your pet’s mouth and looking inside, if you notice that the gums surrounding the teeth are red and swollen he or she may have the initial stages of gingivitis. If you notice this or would like a consult on Dental home and professional cleaning please ask your family Veterinarian or come by Campbell River Veterinary Hospital for consult.

If you plan on keeping corals, the testing is more extensive than if you are keeping fish only. For a FOWLR (fish only with live rock) tank you would want to check your Nitrates every 2-4 weeks with an Elos Nitrate Test Kit. Very easy to use and the colors are very easy to distinguish. And, you would also consider checking your pH and specific gravity. pH is another easy to use test kit OR there are digital pH monitors that can be purchased...if you want to get a little more high tech there is a “Pinpoint pH Monitor” that you Sarah Kirk run constantly which gives you a reading on your Owner tank at all times. This does need to be calibrated monthly but are great! They generally cost about $100. SG or specific gravity is something you want to have an idea of “most” of the time. There are 2 devices, one that is more accurate than the other. First the swing arm “hydrometer” which is around $15-$20 and is ok, or you can purchase a “Refractometer” which is 100% accurate as long as you calibrate it regularly. Other than that, your FOWLR testing is complete! For a Reef Tank you test all of the above PLUS you need to test for CA (calcium), ALK (alkalinity) and MG (magnesium). These are all vital parts of building a reef and encouraging coral growth. All are done with Elos test kits which are easy to use and accurate, plus when you purchase them we go over how to use them in detail. Most test kits range in price from $21.99-$35.99 but will test your tank many, many times. We also test water for you free of charge. If any of these elements are not in a “normal” range then you start buffing with different reef products. It’s easy! And we can help!

Experts’ Advice I want to list my children as beneﬁciaries on my insurance policy, but am concerned about them getting a big chunk of money too young.

Growing tomatoes from seed takes time and care, but it is not hard, and the results are well worth it. It’s best to have a warm place, or a heat mat, consistently 70 – 80 degrees F. A South facing exposure in a window, or the help of a daylight spectrum bulb, such as a T5 ﬂuorescent, is ideal. In a tray with inserts, or really any kind of shallow container with a clear lid, place moist starting mix such as Coco Coir, or Pro Mix Christa Fernau BX. Sow the seeds carefully a couple of inches apart and cover them with twice the seeds’ thickness in potting mix. Gently and thoroughly water with chlorine free water (let tap water sit at room temp for 24 hours) You may wish to add B Vitamins, such as B Plus, as a general health tonic, as it is excellent in any propagation practice. Remember not to let the mix dry out, but don’t over water either! Once the seedlings have emerged, do not allow them to overcrowd, as they will compete, and become spindly. If lighting is inadequate once they are sprouted, they will also become spindly, so keep light as close as possible. Harden the seedlings off gradually, starting with venting the domes, and making sure humidity isn’t too high. Once the plants are a 1/2 inch or so high, you may apply a weak solution of plant food, such as Canadian Plant Food Tomato Formula 6-10-8. As the plants grow, so do their feeding requirements, so higher concentrations of good quality nutrients are necessary.

Why should I bother with RRSPs?

Dr. Ingrid Pincott ND

For the last 27 years Naturopathic Physician of my practice I have been using a wonderful natural antibiotic that is dosed aggressively for 10 days. When patients take this along with my Upper Respiratory formula they get well very quickly. Most of my patients don’t get sick when they take their ﬁsh oil by the tablespoon (that also has some vitamin D in it), HMF probiotics and the HTSF SEP 200 homeopathic preventive remedy. This is what I call true “Health Insurance”.

Insurance companies require Darlene Garat you to name a trustee when Financial Advisor you list someone under 18 as a beneficiary on a life insurance contract. Unfortunately, even by age 18 young people don’t always have the best money sense. However, you can stipulate in the policy that the trustee continue to control the money until the beneficiary reaches an older age – up to 25 years old with some companies. This allows the trustee to focus the insurance proceeds on living expenses, higher education, and other matters that you would have helped finance if you were still alive to do so.

When you invest in an RRSP you’ll pay less tax now, plus no tax on the earnings on your investment until you withdraw it. The earlier you start, the longer your RRSP Peter Garat has to compound on this Certiﬁed Financial Planner tax-free basis. If you start in your 20’s you may need as little as 6% of your gross income to save for a comfortable retirement. Wait until you are in your 40’s and you’ll need to put away between 14% and 20%. RRSPs built within a ﬁnancial planning strategy can make the most of your investments, and help you enjoy an active and enjoyable retirement.

Arts & Entertainment Blending theatre and art L

earn more about the fascinating world of wearable art at either a special information evening or an intensive two day workshop at the Campbell River Art Gallery later this month. Kari Glass, a visual artist and designer with studios in Alaska and Alert Bay, is traveling to Campbell River Friday, Feb. 22 to present a free Wearable Art Introduction open house from 5-7 p.m. This will be no ordinary presentation – Glass is inspired by the world’s trash. She invites the public to attend the presentation and invites interested people to bring their friends, their recycled clothes, their found objects, duct tape and whatever else strikes their fancy. Wearable art is a blend of both theatre and art and allows artists to create sculpture for the human form. “I routinely scour and comb the beach, thrift shop, dump and

workshop is set for Saturday, Feb. 23 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday, Feb. 24 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The cost for the workshop is $80 plus HST for CR Art Gallery members and $90 plus HST for non-members. Participants will explore a wide range of conceptual ideas and use of materials. The wearable art medium will appeal to artists who like to work in multiple disciplines, blending recycled materials and textiles to create pieces presented in dramatic performances. Get your ideas together in time to participate in the CR Art Gallery’s Wearable Art Show, set for Aug. 10. For more information on either the free introduction Friday, Feb. 22, or the handson workshop Saturday, Feb. 23 and Sunday, Feb. 24, contact the Campbell River Art Gallery at 250-287-2261 or programs@crartgallery.ca

Bop 'til you drop with The Nylons at the Tidemark

For the past 30 years, The Nylons have been the most beloved Canadian vocal quartet with seven gold and platinum recordings known for their A cappella sound, dazzling and distinct harmonies and smooth arrangements. The Nylons’ immense appeal has taken them across North America, Europe, Australia, China and Japan on sold out tours prompting Billboard Magazine to give praise to the captivating live show. There have been 17 albums so far (including three compilations), and the group’s worldclass producers have included David Foster (Celine Dion and dozens of others), Val Garay (Bette Davis Eyes), Chilliwack frontman Bill Henderson, Andy Goldmark (Michael Bolton’s producer), British producer Ian Prince, who won a Grammy for his work with Quincy Jones’ Back on the Block and Toronto’s Peter Mann. The energy and spark the group had when it started is still present with the present lineup: Claude, Garth Mosbaugh, Gavin Hope and Tyrone Gabriel. It has now been over 27 years. Tours, trials, tantrums, tribulations, and tributes – and a hell of a lot of good music, good times, great singing. The Nylons continue to perform worldwide to passionate audiences and critical acclaim. The Nylons are bringing their world class live show to the Tidemark Theatre Thursday, March 14. It all begins with the voice. And The Nylons have never even needed a band - they just needed their voices, their joy, and their ability to entertain audiences.

HOURS: Monday - Saturday 9:30-5:30, Sun & Holidays 11-5

PROPHECY has captured the attention of North America and the World. The topic has graced the covers of TIME and Newsweek. Many are wondering if the recent worldwide political and economic upheaval are signs of the end and are turning to the Bible for answers.

Over the course of this FREE MEDIA EVENT, the book of Revelation will be explored chapter by chapter by John Bradshaw of It Is Written Television www.itiswritten.com.

“The book of Revelation is possibly the most misunderstood and confusing book in the Bible, when in fact it is the revelation of Jesus Christ.

In a world where many people are terrified of what the future holds, many are surprised to find that while Revelation holds answers to what will happen in the final days of Earth’s history - it also contains a message of peace and hope for the future.

During this series, Bible subjects typically shrouded in confusion will be made clear as we learn how the messages in this book apply to our lives today.”

SEVENTHDAY DAYADVENTS ADVENT SEVENTH

It is for this reason that a special series about the book of Revelation called REVELATION TODAY is being brought to Campbell River.

John Bradshaw.

Beaks and feet will tell the tale T

he expressions “it’s a jungle out there”, “dog eat dog”, and “survival of the fittest” all refer to the hardships wild life face in order to survive. Each year Mountainaire Avian Rescue Society (MARS) receives birds or animals that have been “snatched from the jaws of death.” All living creatures, including humans are part of a very intricate food chain in which each link depends on the others; a collapse at any level can destroy the chain. If we all ate the same food it would not take long before all the available food would be consumed, so species have diversified and become specialists. Species can be categorized according to their food preferences; there are five main food groups, carnivores, herbivores, omnivores, insectivores and frugivores. Species are equipped with specially adapted features such as beaks, feet, mouths, and teeth in order to access and consume the food. Carnivores, including raptors, seals and lions, are flesh eaters which they catch and consume using sharp teeth, beaks or talons. Herbivores eat a variety of plants, flowers nectar or other vegeta-

tion; species include ing habits offend us. cows, deer, and swans. Some birds are very Insectivores consume specific with their a huge number of choice of meat, some insects, their eggs and eagles almost exclularvae which in turn sively dine on fish, keep the bug populaothers have a prefertion under control; ence for deer or seal they also keep trees meat, whilst others and plants healthy by supplement their diet gleaning insects from in harsh winters with leaves, bark and buds. ducks, or other water Many bird species fowl.

We would sometimes their feedask that anyone who

witnesses this normal feeding process to leave the birds to their fate. The predator will act more quickly and the prey will not suffer. It is almost certain a discarded meal will not survive the initial attack. We must also remember that raptors provide a valuable service by culling the sick or weak birds. They take those birds that do not react normally to the presence of the raptor. Many hawks also prey upon pigeons and starling both of these birds are invasive species, which are competing for food with our native species. Our wildlife policies do not allow us to rehabilitate or release these species should they be found injured. Many small birds that gather in large flocks at the backyard feeders are particularly vulnerable to attack but in fact this helps keep their populations healthy. Enjoy your bird watching and if you should witness a raptor feeding look upon this as a positive experience and leave the bird to enjoy its meal, remember wildlife is protected by laws. Please make sure you do not wrongly identify a bird that is catching another bird species. Beaks and feet will tell the tale. Slender short beaks cannot eat flesh they

are insectivores. To report injured wildlife please call our toll free number 1-800-304-9968, for any other information call 250-337-2021, or visit our web site at www.wingtips.org . MARS will be holding their annual Eagle fest on Feb. 23 at the Maritime Heritage Center in Campbell River. There will be guest speakers and live ambassador birds, including a bald eagle; it is always a fun and interesting day.

The U16 North Island Rage, sponsored by Saratoga Ventures, met the Nanaimo Raiders in the Island field lacrosse final on Saturday. The two teams have enjoyed a close rivalry all season and were looking forward to an epic match to determine the Island champions. North Island started out strong, maintaining possession of the ball and took a 1-0 on a Tanner Jones goal, assisted by Brady Garrett. Alec Molander then fought off four defenders to break through and make it 2-0. Molander scored two more and Garrett added one to make the score 5-1 at the end of the first quarter. The Rage knew that Nanaimo could take over the game at any time and continued their dominant play, with big sticks Roy Uzzell, Colton Edwards, Nathan Hoff and Alex Kussauer shutting down Nanaimo’s offense before they could get close to goaltender Sal Burchill. Molander went end-to-end early in the second quarter to score in a jaw-dropping display of athleticism. Speedy Anthony Vigneron added the Rage’s seventh goal and Graham Evans Continued on Page A34

are encouraged to try new activities, be creative and connect with their peers who face similar challenges in their day-to-day lives. Children with disabilities are accepted there for who they are and where anything is possible. Thanks to the support of donors, children who attend Easter Seal Camps do so free of charge.

Question: I’ve recently been diagnosed with uncontrolled diabetes and my doctor suggested I see my dentist. Why?

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.

DR. LATHANGUE

Workshop teaches Pruning for Health: From Tree to Table Do you have an old tree that you want to rejuvenate? Are you planning on planting and want to give your tree or shrub a fruitful start?

Join the latest Lettuce Grow class on Saturday, Feb. 16 for a hands-on and informative workshop with expert horticulturalist and edible landscaper

H e l e n a H a r t wo o d . Learn about reasons for pruning, types of pruning cuts, when to prune and what to use. Find out how pruning can prevent and man-

age pest problems. Instructors and students will be onsite in a beautiful multiaged orchard at Ripple Rock Farm on Quadra Island where partici-

pants can see how to prune, and give it a try themselves. Hartwood is a wealth of knowledge and will answer your pruning questions.

To top it off, participants will head inside later in the day to warm up and enjoy some of the fruits of our labors over a locavore (made with local ing redients) lunch prepared by passionate local chefs Moreka Jolar and Heidi Scheifley (The Cooks Cooperative and co-authors of the Hollyhock Cookbooks).

grow it and what we eat are paramount,” says Jolar. “There’s more to growing food than most people assume, there’s an art to every aspect of it that factors into the quality of nutrition (and quantity!) you gain from the fruit. Because each cut has the potential to change the growth of the tree, no branch should be removed without a reason,” adds Kira DeSorcy, Lettuce Grow Lead Instructor. There is a lot of fruit that could be harvested in Campbell River, and many varieties that could be planted. Did you know, you can even grow peach trees here if pruned correctly? “We have a lot of fruit trees in Campbell River that need some TLC. There’s so much potential here,” says Chelsea Holley, backyard gardener.
