A Port Hardy man died Saturday night in Campbell River after being struck by a vehicle. According to RCMP, the 64-year-old man was walking west on St. Ann’s Road when he was struck by a vehicle turning from the alleyway behind Chances Casino. The accident occurred around 6:45 p.m. The 70-year-old woman, who was driving, immediately stopped as did passing motorists who offered assistance to the victim and called 911. Paramedics from the fire department and BC Ambulance Service were quickly on the scene and rushed the man to Campbell River Hospital were he succumbed to his injuries shortly later. The man’s name was not released. St. Ann’s Road was closed for several hours as officers interviewed witnesses and a collision analyst processed the scene. Police say alcohol does not appear to be a factor in the incident and the driver is cooperating with the ongoing investigation. No charges have been laid.

Duncan resigns cabinet post over tax letter ALISTAIR TAYLOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
PAUL RUDAN/THE MIRROR
Early break Contract workers wait and watch with emergency crews as firefighters on the ladder truck work to douse a fire in the new Target store. The fire started Tuesday around 9:30 a.m. No one appeared to be hurt in the blaze.
Federal Indian Affairs Minister and Va n c o u ve r I s l a n d North MP John Duncan has resigned his cabinet post over a 2011 letter he sent to the Tax Court of Canada Duncan admitted to writing a character reference letter in June of 2011 to the Tax Court of Canada on behalf of an individual who was being assisted by the minister’s staff on a Canada Revenue Agency matter. “While the letter was written with honourable intentions, I realize that it was not appropriate for me, as a Minister of the Crown, to write to the Tax Court,” Duncan said in a statement released this afternoon. “I have therefore offered my resignation as Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development to the Prime Minister, which he has accepted.

John Duncan
“I take full responsibility for my actions and the consequences they have brought.” Prime Minister Stephen Harper released a statement saying, “Today, I have accepted the resignation of John Duncan as Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Nor ther n Development. “I would like to thank Mr. Duncan for his many contributions as Minister and for his service to the people of Canada. “Mr. Duncan
will continue to serve as the Member of Parliament for Vancouver Island North in the House of Commons.” James Moore, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages, will serve as the acting Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development until a new Minister is named, Harper said. Duncan will continue his MP duties. “I pledge that I will continue to work hard on behalf of the constituents of Vancouver Island North as their elected representative in Ottawa,” Duncan said. It was inappropriate of Duncan to send the letter because it violated federal conflict of interest rules plus it contravenes the principle of keeping cabinet separate from the judiciary. Ministers should not be seen as interfering in the proceedings of a judicial or quasi-judicial body.

Cougar kills llama in York Road area PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The “Llama Lady” is mourning the loss one of her beloved animals and is also warning the public about a cougar in the York Road area. Rosemary Ladouceur awoke Saturday morning and went looking for “Raven” who had gone missing the previous night. It didn’t take long. The black nine-yearold female llama was found dead in a puddle of water, the victim of a cougar attack. “Very nasty,” said Ladouceur, who calls herself the Llama Lady and keeps a dozen llamas at Spring Valley Far m on Deerfield Road. She also leases another field on Baxandall Road, closer to York Road and the Island Highway. After finishing her chores on Friday night, Ladouceur went to gather the llamas.
She noticed most of them were staying close to the barn when she also noticed that Raven was missing. With flashlight in hand, Ladouceur checked the pasture and fence line, but couldn’t find her. The next morning, she did find Raven and suspected the llama had been killed by a cougar. So Ladouceur called conservation officers who arrived and confirmed a cougar was responsible. “There were serious head injuries – the skull plate was broken,” said conservation officer James Hilgemann. “It’s unfortunate – it was probably a large two- to three-year-old male cat.” Hilgemann confirmed that at least two residents in the York Road area had reported seeing a cougar in the previous week. T he coug ar that killed the llama had begun feeding on the
Re-store ripped off The Re-store sells used household items and building supplies for great prices, and even builds homes for deserving families too, but that’s not enough to stop thieves. On Valentine’s Day, staff arrived at the Campbellton store to find that someone had scaled the fence and ripped off roofing metal valued at $240. Police are seeking the public’s assistance in finding the culprit.

POLICE BEAT loaded. That’s the moral following last week’s apartment fire. According to Campbell River RCMP, the cause of a Feb. 11 blaze in the thirdstory apartment at 377 Dogwood St., was a loaded flare gun going off in a pile of laundry. Police say the fire was accidental, and the lone female occupant was safely able to make it out of the apartment.

More rock throwing Police are looking into another incident of people throwing rocks at passing vehicles on Dogwood Street. At least three incidents were reported to RCMP between Feb. 5-11, including two on Dogwood. The latest incident was reported on Friday at 8:51 p.m. A motorist was driving by Carihi Secondary when five youths, all wearing darkcoloured hoodies, threw rocks at the vehicle. The driver stopped at the nearby RCMP detachment to report the incident, but the youths were gone by the time officers arrived.

light at that time in the mor ning,” she said. “I think it would be a good idea to give people in the area a warning.”
Crime Stoppers seeking man Jeremy Clif ford Anderson is wanted by Campbell River RCMP in relation to a 2012 assault. Anderson, 39, is 5’9”, 172 pounds, has black hair and brown eyes. He is believed to be living in the Campbell River-Courtenay area. Anderson is known to be violent. Call RCMP or Crime Stoppers if you see him or know where he is.

After the fatal attack, Ladouceur moved all the llamas to her own barn. She’s never had a problem with cougars before and this incident leaves her feeling uneasy. “I’m a little nervous about going back (to the field),” she said. “I would like to compliment the Conservation Officers and thank them for all they have done in an attempt to capture this big cat before it does any more damage. “The officers were very professional, yet sensitive to the fact that I had just lost a very precious animal – not to mention my monetary loss. While I realize there are always cougars out there, it is rare to have one attack livestock.” To report a conflict with wildlife that threatens public safety, call 1-877-952-7277 paulr@campbellrivermirror.com
For the record In Friday’s front page story about the proposed rate hike for regional district directors, it incorrectly stated that seven area directors are in line for the raise.

Pollard Group plays ‘chicken’ with council re-elected as CR Indian Band Chief KRISTEN DOUGLAS
CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Bob Pollard has been re-elected Chief of the Campbell River Indian Band. Pollard retained his position in Monday’s band election, receiving 164 votes. Josh Duncan was the only other candidate for chief and he received 124 votes. A total of 288 ballots were cast for chief with three ballots rejected. As for the six band councillors, the top three vote-getters will be on council for the next four years, while the bottom three have two-year terms. According to electoral officer Robert McKerracher, the staggered terms were for this election only. Receiving four-year terms are Curtis Wilson (186 votes), Jason Price (175 votes) and Tony Roberts Sr. (170 votes). Receiving two-year terms are Marian Atkinson-Ferry (164 votes), Dean Drake (158 votes) and Dana Roberts (142 votes). Those who didn’t make the cut included: John Henderson, 125 votes; Rock Quocksister, 119 votes; Shelly Haunch, 112 votes; Sonia Roberts, 90 votes; and Jimmy Quatell, 61 votes. A total of 291 ballots were cast for council with just one rejected.
A local agriculture group has put a proposal in front of council to allow hens in backyards across the the city. The group, spearheaded by former city councillor Morg an Ostler and food sovereignty activist Kira DeSorcey, also expected to present council with a petition bearing more than 720 signatures in support of keeping female chickens on residential properties. Ostler says the practice ties into the city’s agriculture goals. “The Sustainable Official Community Plan includes the keeping of poultry (and bees) in residential backyards,” Ostler says. She also noted Campbell River relies heavily on imports to stock its food supply, but the city does have the ability to reverse that trend. “Food grown close to home reduces our dependency on the

permitting backyard poultry. In January 2010, the Environmental Advisory Committee brought a proposal to city hall but the council of the day refused the committee’s suggestion of an open house to gauge support for backyard chickens before the city’s Agriculture Plan was complete. That plan was completed more than a year ago now and supports raising backyard poultry. Ostler says because of that she doesn’t expect much opposition from council. “We don’t expect there will be resistance, it’s all part of our Sustainable Official Community Plan. Why would we not be supported?” Ostler says. “We’re confident council will support it. It reflects what the community wants.” The group’s presentation was slated for Tuesday evening’s council meeting, after the Mirror went to press.

Excavation work at Saratoga has resident’s alarm bells ringing RENÉE ANDOR BLACK PRESS
Intertidal excavation work in the Saratoga Beach area has some beach users concerned about potential impacts on wildlife. “It’s just despoiled this whole area,” area resident Alf Butterfield said of the excavation work. “It’s pretty unbelievable.” A large sandbar runs parallel with the shore out in the intertidal zone at the north end of Saratoga Beach. This sandbar held water in a depressed area closer to the shore, creating a lagoon-like area or a large sand-based tidal pool. But, Pacific Play-
grounds — which owns a marina just north of the tidal pool area and just south of the Oyster River Estuary — excavated a section of the sandbar about a week ago. “Now the lagoon is draining,” Butterfield said Wednesday. “Right now, it’s just unbelievable how empty it is compared to the way it always was, because that rock bar held the water to a great extent.” Butterfield, who has waterfront property looking out onto the area, said he’s concerned wildlife may be impacted from the change. “There’s tremendous amount of animal life

A number of area residents have been talking about the change and their concer ns around it, including Alan Nield, who popped down to the beach for a look Wednesday, noting there’s a “vast differ-
ence.” Butterfield said he tried to talk to Pacific Playgrounds about the matter, and he tried to get some information from Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) and the Ministry of Environment. As of Wednesday he said he hasn’t had much luck, but noted Pacific Playgrounds told him the necessary authorizations have been taken care of.

Question: Why is fluoride so important?
Answer: 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 achievements of the 20th century. Dr. Kevin Lathangue 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. If you have a question you would like answered please email Carmen@dogwooddental.com

Pacific Playgrounds declined comment on the matter. H o w e v e r, DFO spokesperson Carrie Mishima said Pacific Playgrounds’ project was reviewed by the DFO and the work is not expected to damage fish or fish habitat. “Pacific Playgrounds has retained the services of a professional biologist to oversee the works to ensure fish and fish habitat are
protected,” she added in an e-mail. She noted the excavation work is related to dredging maintenance of a small channel running through the intertidal area into Pacific Playgrounds’ marina; the marina entrance borders the north end of the tidal pool area. “The dredging work may temporarily lower the water level in the salt marsh (tidal pool) but is not expected to be a per manent alteration,” continued Mishima. “Works to be completed include replanting the area with native intertidal and marsh vegetation, as well as restoration of the original water depth in the marsh/ tide pool area. There will not be a loss of tidal pool/marsh habitat.” After hearing DFO’s statement on habitat safety and the restoration of original water levels in the tidal pool area, Butterfield said he is cautiously relieved, but he will keep an eye on the situation.

The war is on again. The Campbell River Head Injury Support Society (CRHISS) is declaring the fourth annual “Loonie Wars” to raise community awareness about traumatic brain injuries (TBI) as well as provide funds to support our local TBI survivors. Starting Wednesday, Feb. 20 we are asking every resident of Campbell River to donate a loonie. The donations will be collected for a week until Feb 28. The War is against the brain injury association in Powell River. The community that collects the most funds per capita will be declared the winner and their local Brain Injury Organization will be awarded the prestigious “Loonie War Trophy”. Last year Campbell River’s branch had great support from the community and beat Powell River. The society is determined to keep this beautiful tro-
phy in Campbell River this year and that’s why it’s asking for the community’s help and support. The society is again encouraging groups such as city council, schools, service clubs, businesses, and neighbourhoods to get involved in the fun by challenging your members to “fight the War” by contributing their loonie(s). This event is aimed at increasing the public’s knowledge of their community’s brain injury organization and the services that are provided. The
money donated in each municipality goes to that community’s TBI non-profit organization to provide funding for continuation of their vital services. A donation (which can include paper money as well as loonies) can be made through containers that will be placed in businesses throughout Campbell River during that week; delivering it directly to the Head Injury Society’s office at 591-9th Ave. (under the big orange roof); or phoning the office at 250-287-4323.

Duncan ducks out of the unblinking media glare John Duncan’s surprise resignation as minister of aboriginal affairs and northern development brings some answers — and questions. The prime minister issued a terse press release Friday, saying Duncan had quit his cabinet post, would remain as Vancouver Island North MP and would be replaced We say: MP is as minister on an interim basis by only one of seven James Moore. Duncan admitted quit because he wrote an Harper ministers he inappropriate letter to the Tax to resign Court on behalf of a constituent. He violated the principle that separates elected officials from the judiciary. Duncan wrote the letter two years ago, but the federal cabinet
apparently discovered it was improper only recently during an internal review that arose from rulings last month by Ethics Commissioner Mary Dawson. At least that’s the Conservatives’ story, and they’re sticking to it. Intriguingly, Duncan is only the seventh federal cabinet minister to resign in the seven years Stephen Harper – notoriously reluctant to admit a mistake – has been PM. Duncan holds one of only two Tory seats on Vancouver Island, another reason why his resignation came as a surprise. He has had heart trouble in recent years, and underwent surgery two years ago, although it’s believed his health has improved lately. That would be a good thing because the aboriginal
affairs file has been stressful. As minister, Duncan has had to promote a Harper government agenda guaranteed to rile Canada’s native people. No matter what you think of Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence or how native bands spend government funding, Duncan’s confrontation with her was a public relations black eye for him. She became a focal point for the Idle No More movement that just won’t go away. Duncan did the honourable thing, but his poor communication skills counted against him under the unblinking glare of national media attention. An honourable, proud man, he can refocus on constituent work in one of the largest, farthest-flung ridings in Canada. – Black Press

Hospital another ferry fiasco I have had to go to our local hospital a few times, both as an out-patient and an in-patient. I have also been to Nanaimo and Victoria for medical treatment. I can honestly say, without a doubt, that our own Campbell River doctors and nurses are superior to all. I would gladly put my life in their hands anytime. The value of these hardworking people to the people of Campbell River is priceless. Their working conditions are inadequate. They deserve better, much better. My biggest fear is that we will lose some of these wonderful dedicated professional people because of VIHA. I was surprised to read that there were offers of donations of properties for the new hospital. VIHA turned them down. Their reason for this was...it would cost too much to service these properties. I can’t help wondering how much it will cost to tear down our existing hospital and build a multi-tier parkade instead. Why can’t we keep our existing hospital and use it for a longterm care facility? Can anyone imagine what it is going to be like when construction begins? The doctors say that a good part of the hospital will have to be closed Continued on A9 We welcome your opinions on stories and issues published in our pages as well as issues of broader concern encountered elsewhere.

Alistair Taylor Out On A Limb @AlstrT editor@campbellrivermirror.com
I have to throw my voice out in support of our little library. And libraries in general A letter to the editor by Mike Richmond last week wasn’t so much focused on libraries. It was more about municpal spending habits and propensity for raising taxes. But he wrote one little line that raised my eyebrows when I saw it. I knew that it would prompt a reaction and it did. Richmond complained about the idea of building a new library, contending it would be wasted money. “Books will be a thing of the past in a few years – everything is on the computer,” he said. Well that generated a few letters in reply.
Keep in mind that everybody has been predicting the death of newspapers ever since television news was invented. And, in the words of Steve McQueen in Papillon, “We’re still here!” Books might take on a new format going forward (e-books, etc.) but the vast storehouse of knowledge, art and entertainment in existing books is not going to be converted to an eletronic form any time soon. Whose tax dollars are going to be used to conduct that massive conversion? Plus there’s no sign of books not being printed in the near future. Just look at the massive sales of the Harry Potter series. Libraries are like theatres and recreation centres; Those who don’t use
them resent funding them. And it’s usually people who no longer have children at home. Libraries might change and become multi-media centres but they’re still going to be necessary because they store information that’s accessible to all. There’s no good controversy that isn’t worth revisiting...So, I’m a little surprised that there has been a resurgence of opposition to building two new hospitals in Campbell River and Comox. I thought this issue was dealt with. While I agree that polticial and financial crises could scuttle the projects, it would seem unlikely that the recent complaints about it are going to have
any effect. In Campbell River, we’re hearing complaints about using the existing VIHA-owned property as the site for the new hospital. After all the years of wrangling over one facility or two facilities and where they’re going to be located, it seems unlikely that the province is going to suddenly slap itself on the forehead and say, “You’re right! This is a stupid plan, let’s drop everything and go back to the drawing board!” Yeah, like that’s going to happen. We can only hope and pray for a complete provincial financial meltdown in order to terminate this mad plan. That of, course, is ironic sarcasm. Or sarcastic irony, depending on your point of view.

off. There will be very little parking available, if any at all. The noise, the dust and dirt, not to even mention the ambulances trying to get into the emergency area. It is ludicrous to think this is all going to work out fine and we will still have all the same medical professionals working on our behalf. Our new hospital is to have 95 beds according to VIHA. There are 98 beds being used right now, in rooms, hallways or whatever space they can find. There is no room on this site for expansion in the coming years. It sounds like we have lost the autopsy theatre because of lack of space. This will mean that we will have to pay to have our deceased loved ones sent to Comox for this service. P3 sounds to me like the way the BC ferries are run. The taxpayer foots the bill for any repairs and upgrades etc., while the private company scrimps any way they can in order to make a profit for themselves instead of putting it back into the operation of the ferries. Is there anyone out there that can come up with an idea on how we can stop VIHA from going ahead with their dictated plans? Plans that we will be unable to change once constuction starts. Could we take up donations to have the services put in on one of the properties offered? We do not have much time left before it is too late. Like the Specialists say “Speak up now.” Joy Shuster Campbell River Editor’s Note: In an advertisement in the Feb. 15 Mirror, VIHA disputes a number of the points in this letter. For their point of view, visit viha.ca and search North Island Hospitals Project.
Filed for publication with The Mirror Mr. Prime Minister, Madam Premiers of B.C. and Alberta, From an article in this week’s local paper: “For decades climatologists have been documenting a warming planet, the tremors that are dismissed as nothing unusual. As greenhouse gas emissions ominously rise, so do temperatures. Meanwhile, governments ineptly fiddle with ineffective regulations, earnest promises are regularly broken, reduction targets are routinely lowered, and corrective legal agreements are abandoned as being too onerous to implement. Rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide are creating a plethora of problems, from extreme weather and ocean acidification to species loss, political instability, food insecurity, property damage and human suffering. All these problems are slated to get worse on a warmer
planet.” The climate science was certain enough by 1992 that the U.N. members created an international agreement to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions. That was over 20 years ago! How can you, in good conscience, still sell and promote fossil fuel resources - oil, coal or gas? Why are you acting so ignorant of the new state of the World? It is perplexing! How can you do this to your own citizens? How can you do this to the citizens of the world? No economic development is worth the sacrifice of the very basis of human happiness and well-being, a healthy planet with a safe, stable climate. I am begging you to come to your senses! Promote Alternative Energies for sustainable 21st century economic development and ecological sanity! Catherine Slater Quadra Island

7x14 Principal’s Message
Student Advocacy Group
Welcome to semester two! By now you should have had a chance to go over reports cards with your son or daughter. These were issued Friday, February 8th . Our end of semester one report went out electronically to all parents where you can access report cards and other important information at a click of a mouse through Parent and Student Connect. In order to enhance reporting information even further we have decided to issue a hard copy of report cards to students on February 14th as well as the online component. I suspect many students will have cause to celebrate personal bests. Others will be celebrating because they were able to complete their grad requirements by the end of semester one. For those who were not as successful as they had hoped, it is a time to refocus and look for resources that can help them reach their goals. One way for students to get that support is to make arrangements with their subject teachers to come in before or after school for extra tutorial help. They can also sign up to be part of the next study-a-thon that will take place the week before exams. Provincial examinations results will be available on the Ministry of Education Website as of the first week of March. Students will need their personal education number (PEN) to access their grades. The URL for the site is: http://www.bced. gov.bc.ca/exams/ The nine digit PEN number appears on the student’s report card.
Our student advocacy group has been busy planning events for February. Students will be involved in a variety of activities this month including: reading books to elementary schools that promote safe and caring schools, making anti-bullying buttons, participating in PINK shirt day on February 27 and creating radio ads for The River radio station that promote anti-bullying. Student advocates are, Sabrina Gagnon-Josh Kwaksistala-Brooklyn Beitel display some projects.
Sports Wrestling: So far this year the wrestling team has had a very successful season. We have had multiple tournament champions at every tournament we have attended. The team looks to continue to improve as the Island and BC Championships approach. Ashley Osachuk, Brett Nelson, C.J. Foy and Dawson McKay have all qualified for the nationals which will be held in Saskatoon. Ashley has remained undefeated all season and has been named “outstanding wrestler” several times.
TIMBERLINE
Timberline Basketball: The North Island Basketball League began in the first week of December for both the junior girls and senior boys teams. The junior girls have a very spirited team that continues to do well in the league. During tournament play they have placed 5th and 7th. They are ranked third in the North zone and have been within 2 points of the top two teams. The senior boys team is also doing very well competing for the top position in the North Island. Both the junior and senior seasons wrap up in the last week of February.
Best of luck to everyone in semester two. Please feel free to call or email your son or daughter’s teacher if you have any questions about report cards or other educational issues. Kevin Harrison
Going to Nepal The Timberline and Carihi International Co-op class had a wonderful year so far and are preparing for their work placement project to provide humanitarian aid in a developing country. This year, the class has been busy researching and fundraising to prepare for a two week long, work placement in the village of Lahachowk, Nepal. Working in conjunction with the Innovative Communities Organization, the class will be spending their spring break working to improve the small village’s irrigation system. Bettering the system of irrigation the Nepalese farmers use regularly, will do wonders for the self-sufficiency of the village. Since 80% of Nepalese are subsistence farmers, improving the irrigation system will better the income of villagers, cast off restrictions and provide endless opportunities. The class will be aiding in the construction of a water canal that will provide the necessary irrigation to land surrounding several hundred households and increase crop yields by 65%. This project is a major undertaking and cannot be completed without the valued help and support of local organizations and people. The International Co-op class would like to extend thanks to the Real Canadian Superstore, Boston Pizza, The Return-It-Bottle Depot, the organizers and attendees of the Fair Trade Global Craft Fair and those who have given private donations. Without the support of the generous citizens of the community, aiding this Nepalese irrigation project would not be possible for this group of dedicated students.

OPINION/NEWS
Liberals not dealing with the here and now The Legislature is back in session after nine months and if the government’s Throne Speech is anything to go by, it is clear why the BC Liberals did not want to reconvene. In the Legislature they can be held accountable for their actions. The Throne Speech traditionally sets out a government’s agenda for the upcoming session. The one which was delivered this week in Victoria didn’t look to the coming five weeks of our truncated session, but forecast an alleged rosy future 30 years from now. Instead of dealing with real concerns facing people in BC, which I hear daily in the constituency - jobs, ferries, education, healthcare the government talked about establishing a Prosperity Fund. This s u p p o s e d ly wo u l d be set up in order to invest the money the province could receive from liquefied natural gas (LNG). I am sure most people agree that establishing a savings fund is not a bad idea - but this one will be created when

In my response to the Being back in the speech I talked about Legislature allows us what I had been hear- to bring a spotlight on
the government and demand some accountability. The waste of public money on partisan ads was our first target: the government is spending almost $17m tax payer money – money which could be invested in children’s cl a s s ro o m s o r o n seniors’ care – on the series of ads, which according to government documents are supposed to “close the credibility gap�. I don’t think the BC Liberals realise how great that gap really is. We also raised questions about the use of temporary foreign workers when there are trained BC residents available for the work; the minister responsible simply avoided the question time after time. A number of pieces of legislation are being brought in during this short session. We have started to discuss the bill which will allow the reintroduction of the PST – almost two years after the referendum which demanded the HST be removed. A bill that will estab-

lish Destinations BC, a tourism marketing body, has also been tabled. The BC Liberals closed the Crown Corporation for BC’s tourism industry and brought management directly under government control . That proved to be disastrous and now the government is shifting back to a Crown Corporation. And the Minister of Environment has introduced a bill which will allow for the changes in boundaries of Elk Falls Provincial Park needed for the John Hart Generating Station replacement project to go ahead. As critic for MCFD, I spoke in the Legislature about the 20th anniversary of the advocacy group, First Call, and the important work it does for children and youth across the province. I
also spoke about the report on the work of the Standing Committee on Children and Youth, of which I am the deputy chair, when it was tabled. And I presented two petitions - one on behalf of constituents who are concer ned about threats to the sale of natural health products, and one from people in the across the province who are angry about the continuing high child poverty level in BC. I won’t be getting back to the constituency this weekend as I have meetings in the Lower Mainland, however you can always reach me at claire. trevena.mla@leg.bc.ca, by phone at 250 287 5100 in Campbell River or 250 949 9473 in Port Hardy, or friend me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter @clairetrevena.

CF Bowl for Breath brings scores $8,000 The 25th annual Cystic Fibrosis Bowl for Breath Feb. 9-1 at the Campbell River Bowling Centre involved 125 people and helped raise close to $8,000 to help find a cure for cystic fibrosis once all their funds are turned in. T h e s ch o o l t h at raised the most funds is Sandowne, bringing in $1,200. Forty-five bowlers have qualified to get their names in the draw for the West Coast Helicopter trip for raising $50 or more. Cindy Stewart, event organizer for all 25 years, said “the only way we can truly help all children and young adults who have CF is to raise funds to help the researchers find a cure for this devastating disease.” Stewart who has no family member with CF, believes strongly in the CF cause and just wants to help. She has spent countless hours organizing the event every year as well as helping with all the other CF events
throughout the year. Stewart said, “what makes it worthwhile is to see the smiles on children’s faces as they have fun bowling and to know they have learned a little about cystic fibrosis and how to help. Some children have been participating in this event for several years which makes their contribution even more significant.” She went on to say how happy she was when a total stranger who just happened to be bowling that day made a generous donation when he saw what the children were doing to help fight cystic fibrosis. J o - A n n Wa l l i s , president of the Cystic Fibrosis Canada’s Campbell River Chapter, said, “I am amazed by Cindy’s energ y and organizational skills – she has made this event enjoyable for everyone who participates. I credit her with the success of the event and with raising over $200,000 for Cys-
tic Fibrosis Canada over the years. We are incredibly fortunate to have volunteers like Cindy.” The success of the event is also due to incredible suppor t from the community including the Kinsmen Club, D.A. Roset Accounting, West Coast Helicopters, McDonalds Restaurant, Shoppers Drug Mart, Superstore, SaveOn Foods, Canadian Tire, Intersport, London Drugs, Strathcona Gardens, Little Caesars, Costco, Walmart, Landmark Theatres, and Campbell River Bowling Centre. The teachers who volunteer to coordinate for their schools and the volunteers who help at the event are an invaluable resource and made the event possible. Par ticipants who return their pledge money to their schools or to Cindy Stewart by Feb. 28 will be eligible to win more prizes. If you would like to contribute visit www.crcf. ca.

‘Cash back’ mortgages can mean ‘Cash back’ to the lender These mortgages offer a cash rebate (usually 3% to 5% of the principal amount) but if you don’t stay with the lender for the full amortization term, the ‘cash back’ amount may need to be paid back to the lender either in part or in full.

HOROSCOPES Febraury 17 – 23
ARIES You have lots of stories to tell, especially if you just got back from vacation. People at work may have the impression that you talk too much, but that is how you network. TAURUS This week you spend a lot of time working on your budget. You’re sure to find a way to generate a bit more affluence. GEMINI You really need to get away from it all by being spontaneous and experiencing some interesting activities. Organize a vacation, an escapade, or just get involved in a sport.
VIRGO A promotion at work seems to be imminent. You have to shoulder more responsibilities, and you might have to organize an event that will bring lots of people together. LIBRA Signing up for some classes or a training session will lead to more interesting work. You will have to learn to manage a much tighter schedule, though.
SAGITTARIUS The law is on your side. Even when contesting a bill you unravel the situation in your favour. You’ll receive a nice compensation if it was a mistake. CAPRICORN If you’re looking for work you’ll find a job that suits you perfectly. You’ll also be surprised that it was so easy to find such a great opportunity, ensuring a prosperous future for you. AQUARIUS You tend to spend compulsively. It’s good to spoil yourself sometimes, but you should also respect your budget in order to avoid undue stress. PISCES You spend part of the week at home. If your children have grown up and flown the coop, you may also decide to sell your home. ANSWER TO CROSSWORD

The Campbell River Art Gallery is hosting an exhibition of ceramic pieces by second and third year students taking courses in the Fine Arts Department at North Island College’s Comox Campus. Fifteen students, along with instructor Alan Burgess, have created unique ceramic works that are on display in the gallery’s satellite display cases until March 6. Local ceramicist and NIC student, Sylvia McGourlick, coordinated this body of work. The exhibition reflects the wide range of work produced in the ceramic studio, from small to larger scale pieces, as well as functional and more artistic sculptural ceramics. North Island College’s ceramic studio is well equipped to allow each student’s imagination and talent to flourish. There is a large gas car kiln as well as several sizes of electric kilns, a number of wheels, slab rollers, extruders and a variety of glaze materials. Ceramic courses are offered at introductory and intermediate levels. There is also an opportunity for more advanced explorations through the independent studies option and the new Professional Potter Advanced Diploma program which includes business, marketing, and residency components. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to view a sampling of this talented group of emerging artisans and artists. The Gallery, located at 1235 Shoppers Row, is open Tuesday through Saturday from 12-5pm. For more information about exhibitions and programs at the Campbell River Art Gallery, phone 250-287-2261 or visit our website (www.crartgallery.ca). For more information about the North Island College program visit www.nic.bc.ca/finearts.

Maria Amedia Roberts (Decicco) March 4, 1926 – February 14, 2013
Planned as only she could orchestrate, Mary became ill on Monday evening and passed away peacefully in her sleep three days later. As she would often joke, she was the family matriarch and was deeply respected and very much loved. She leaves behind her husband of 53 years, Frank, her children Lynn (Bob) and John (Maria) and her grandchildren Sam, Luke and Arun. Mom was born in the heart of the Canadian Rockies; Field, BC and worked as a telegraph clerk for the Canadian PaciďŹ c Railway. She transferred to Vancouver in the 1940’s and arrived in Campbell River in 1962 where she has resided since. Mary had a wonderful sense of humour, a great sense of adventure and was a woman of strong faith. She loved to read, was a great writer, and almost impossible to beat in a game of Scrabble. Mom had a wonderful way with people and she impacted everyone she met. Not only will Mary be missed by her family, she will be missed by her many friends, spanning all generations from around the world. Thank you to her wonderful friends at St. Patrick’s Parish. A special thank you to Alder Alder Medical Medical Clinic, Clinic, Dr. Mahony and Dr. Baerg. Mom loved the following words: “Faith is to believe what you cannot see, and the reward of that faith, is to ďŹ nally see what you have believed.â€? In lieu of owers, Mary would appreciate random acts of kindness to anyone in need.

David Alexander John Stewart November 20, 1954- February 14, 2013 It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of David Stewart. David will be forever missed by his loving wife Diana, who was blessed to have been part of his life for over forty years. He leaves behind his daughter Amy (Ken), son Jeff (Erika), son Jordan, and his grandchildren Sydney, Duncan, Stewart and Ashley. He will be missed by his brother Craig (Beverly), sister Heather (David), and their families. David was a kind and gentle man who was well liked by everyone that knew him. He loved getting together with his mill buddies to talk about making paper, something he was proud of doing for over thirty-two years. Since retiring three years ago, he spent time with Diana doing what he loved best: camping, prawning and ďŹ shing at Rock Bay and travelling down south to Yuma to enjoy the sun in the winter. A celebration of his life will be announced and held at a later date.

Bantams off to finals The Campbell River No. 1 Autobody Bantam A Tyees came out flying from the opening face-off when they hosted the Saanich Braves on Saturday in a Tier 2 cross-over semi-final game. Sage Lim and Josh Coblenz worked a bit of magic to break in on goal within the first 30 seconds. Lim put a shot on net and Coblenz was there for the rebound but couldn’t get a lot on it which allowed the Braves goalie to make a huge save. Some observers felt that this initial save helped the Braves self-confidence increase ten-fold. They shook off whatever lethargy may have remained from their trip north and began to keep things simple but effective as they sprang their forwards on odd-man rushes. At times the Tyees played with the intensity that was critical to their success in prior round-robin playoff victories but they were running up against a goalie who believed he could stop anything. A sense of frustration seemed to manifest itself in the worst possible way as many players were making high risk plays and relying upon Tyee goalie Kyle Franceschini to bail them out, which he did several times. A f t e r t h e T ye e s killed off a two man disadvantage, Dawson Frank and Will McLean forechecked the Braves
in the neutral zone and McLean was able to take the puck in for a shot on goal. Both tried to bang the rebound as it was just outside the goal line but the Braves goalie smothered it before they could reach it. Tyees opened the scoring with a classic shot-and-rebound combo with Lim scoring from an assist by Coblenz. The Braves replied with their first goal which drew g reat cheers from their many fans in attendance. The Tyees simply tightened their chinstraps and started to forecheck the Braves relentlessly. Darian Swift grabbed the puck in the offensive zone and fed a sharp pass back to the point. Liam Rivett drew back and fired a howitzer into the top corner; 2-1 for the Tyees. The Braves kept coming. One shot almost trickled through Franceschini and across the goal line but Matt Barker got his stick on it just in time, sending it the length of the ice to keep the Tyee lead. Unfortunately the Braves went back on the power play and made some crisp passes to break down the box. A hard shot leaked through Franceschini and slowly found its way into the corner of the net to tie the game at 2. Cory Bukauskas was in the right spot at the

Tyees take on Braves
Continued from A29 Braves went on the power-play and wasted no time as they wired a shot over the blocker to bring the score to 4-3. Later in the period, the Braves managed to put sustained pressure on the Tyees. Too many Braves were left standing in the low slot area as players hacked and whacked at the puck. The inevitable lucky bounce went in the Braves favour as they put the fifth, or maybe it was the sixth, shot into the back of the net and tied the game at 4. Cumulative shots on goal at the end of the period reflected the play; 21-22 in favour of the Braves. The third period started with the Tyees on the power-play as the Braves took a minor penalty with seven seconds left in the second period. The Braves took advantage of the clean ice to spring a breakaway on net but Franceschini held his ground and made a huge save to keep it tied at 4. The Tyees couldn’t convert on this power play but kept their skates moving which is always a positive sign. Once again, Swift found a loose puck in the offensive zone and got it to Coblenz who slid it five-hole for a 5-4 Tyee lead. Still at even strength, Coblenz worked the forecheck perfectly to get the puck and fed it to Lim. Lim made no mistake and put it five-hole to extend the lead, 6-4. The Braves knew they had a tall mountain to climb but they kept trying and forced Franceschini to make a great glove save with about three minutes left in the third period. The Braves pulled their goalie for an extra attacker with a minute and a half left on the clock but were unable to get any closer. The final shots on goal were 31-30 in favour of the Tyees in their 6-4 victory. The No. 1 Autobody Bantam A Tyees now face Juan de Fuca Grizzlies in a best-of-three final series. This promises to be a fast-paced series. The Tyees are definitely capable of beating the Grizzlies but the key is for the players to believe they can do it. Unfortunately the game dates and times were not available prior to publication.

Eagles win third straight
ALISTAIR TAYLOR/THE MIRROR
Drive for the net Campbell River U14/15 girls tied 1-1 with the Comox Valley in Upper Island Soccer Association action at Cedar Elementary School on Sunday.
The Peninsula Eagles had taken over top spot in the female Island league and were going for the league banner. The Hurricanes were fighting for their playoff lives with this the final game of the league schedule. The Hurricanes and the Eagles came out fast in the first period but it was the goaltenders that stole the show. The Hurricanes were trying to defend a one goal lead but with just under three minutes to go the Eagles scored on a goal mouth scramble to tie it at 2-2. With just over a minute to go, the Hurricanes took back the lead. With our win the Victoria Ice Hawks took first place and the Banner, the Hurricanes were then tied with Juan De Fuca for fourth place. Unfortunately the tie break goes to JDF and leaves them out of the playoffs.
