taken to Campbell River Hospital to be further examined.
The city’s bold move to save money has cost the community the SPCA. After nearly three decades of service, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) announced Wednesday it was leaving Campbell River for good. “Council’s decision to award its new pound contract to the lowest bidder raises a number of very serious concerns about the future safety and welfare of animals in Campbell River,” wrote SCPA Chief Executive Officer Craig Daniell in a letter to city council. “Council’s decision will, unfortunately, result in the SPCA having to leave Campbell River.” In January, in a move to lower costs, council bypassed the SPCA and awarded the animal control contract to a private firm, Coastal Animal Control Services, which has similar contracts in several other Vancouver Island municipalities. Council, acting on the recommendation of city clerk Peter Wipper, was hoping the SPCA would accept far less money to continue operating the shelter as well as offering its other pro-

Her face stained with soot and tears, the young woman embraced her cat which she had just rescued from the burning home. Everyone was safe, but the woman could do little as she stood across the street and watched as the two-storey home at 759 Gemsbok Drive filled with smoke. According to Fire Chief Ian Baikie, a burning candle in a downstairs room is believed to be the cause of Wednesday’s blaze that started around 3:45 p.m. and caused more than $30,000 in damage. “Crews extinguished the fire, and managed to confine the fire damage to a single room, but smoke and heat damage was extensive to the entire home,” said Baikie. Deputy Fire Chief Chris Vrabel was first on scene, arriving within minutes of the 911 call, and made sure the woman was okay and no one else was in the home. The pumper truck crew arrived a few minutes later, having just left another call to assist with a fallen worker at a downtown job site. Firefighters used “positive pressure ventilation” to clear the home of the heavy smoke as the first members entered to douse the flames. The fire was quickly brought under control, but due to the damages, the home will be unusable for some time. The woman and the cat, who suffered some smoke inhalation,

grams. When the decision was made to not offer the SPCA the same contract, Mayor Walter Jakeway assured residents the animal care society would remain in Campbell River. “This is not knocking the SPCA out of the picture, it’s just changing the business and what they’re working on. The public doesn’t need to be worried, the SPCA will probably still be there when this is all finished,” he told council in January. But that blew up Wednesday when the SPCA said no thanks to the city’s offer. Continued on A3

ancer survivor Linda Lazare celebrates every day, but even she gets pumped up for a big dance. “I can’t wait. It’s going to be fun,” says the president of the Campbell River chapter of the Canadian Cancer Society. April is Cancer Awareness Month and this year also marks the 75th anniversary of the Canadian Cancer Society. To celebrate the anniversary, the local chapter is holding a dinner and dance on Saturday, April 6, at the Eagles Hall. But if you want to go, you need to get your tickets this weekend at the Eagles. “I’m hoping a lot of volunteers go because it’s volunteers who make this society,” says Lazare. This is her 16th year volunteering with the local society which, last year on Vancouver Island alone, gave more than 26,000 rides to treatment for local cancer patients, provided accommodation for 1,688 clients, and

paid $95,760 in financial support for 155 clients. “We have over 220,000 volunteers across Canada. That’s why were able to offer all the services we do,” she says. Lazare is encouraged by the increasing survival rates for cancer patients and the declining rates for some types of cancer. But this has been a difficult year for her. On Jan. 2, she lost a good friend when Al Hodgkinson of Campbell River died at age 79. He was a key advocate for prostate awareness after having survived prostate
cancer himself. “He was my hero,” she says with a sad smile. Lazare also leads by example. She has survived two rounds of breast cancer and reconstructive surgery. “Both types were completely unrelated. I couldn’t believe it,” she says. “The first time…it was really aggressive. My doctor told me I had less than a 50 per cent chance to live and that I should get my affairs in order.” Lazare pauses as the old and not-very-nice memories are rekindled, “You know, who says that to a person?

Tickets are $30 and $55 per couple. They’re available this weekend only at the Eagles Hall on 14th Avenue.
“The proposal submitted by the BC SPCA for the contract…was the lowest figure we could possibly provide without severely compromising the health and welfare of the animals,” wrote Daniell. “We believe a dramatically lower bid is unrealistic and could only be offered by reducing the standard of care for animals to an unacceptable level. We have seen this happen in other communities, with very serious consequences for animals and residents.” Mayor Jakeway refused to speak with the Mirror and referred all questions to the city clerk who, along with city manager Andy Laidlaw, had earlier sent out a press release defending council’s decision. “We are disappointed the SPCA has made this decision…but we respect their decision and thank them for their many years of dedicated service,” said Laidlaw in the news release. “Council had hoped the combination of continued access to the building and the grant-in-aid offer would have allowed the SPCA to continue to operate in Campbell River, especially because the grant funding appears to be more generous than what is typically offered to local SPCA branches by other communities.” Council awarded the animal control contract to Coastal Animal Patrol for $105,000 per year, which includes evening and weekend patrols and an option to extend the service to First Nations lands, while the SPCA came back with a cost of $218,578 per year. In a phone interview Wipper said the offer to the SPCA was fair based on comparisons with several other B.C. communities. Some provide land, buildings or grants-in-aid to the SPCA, and oth-
ers provide no cash or assistance. In Campbell River, according to Wipper, the SPCA turned down $58,000 to continue pound services in the same building off Merecroft Road and also refused a $34,000 grant-in-aid to assist with animal welfare services. But the SPCA said it wasn’t enough. “(We) already lose $10,000 a year at our Campbell River Branch,” wrote Daniell. “It is very difficult for us to have to leave Campbell River, but as a charity, this is not a loss we can sustain.” Wipper said council was wellaware the city would lose certain animal care services if the SPCA left, but the new contractor is offering similar services at half the cost, guaranteed for five years. He also pointed out that Coastal will not be receiving any money through ticketing for animal control violations. “We would never make up a contract like that,” Wipper said. “Ticketing is the last resort…you want enforcement through education.” He added the next step for council is to look at creating more leash-free zones in city parks. The SPCA will be moving out of its longtime home this weekend. Coastal Animal Control Services takes over on Monday. To report any issues, call them at 1-888-7541397. Animals currently up for adoption at the SPCA will be re-located to other branches this weekend. Impounded animals will be turned over to Coastal Animal Control on Sunday. People looking for animal welfare services are advised to contact the Comox Valley SPCA at 250-339-7722. – with files from Kristen Douglas/ The Mirror

Hydro to foot three-quarters of bill for new water system KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
BC Hydro and the city are close to signing off on a deal that will cost city taxpayers. S t e p h e n Wat s o n , spokesman for BC Hydro, said both parties are “very close to finalizing” a memorandum of understanding that will require Hydro
to pay 75 per cent of the costs to build a new drinking water system while the city must come up with the rest. The city’s existing water connection to BC Hydro’s penstocks will be removed in 2017 as part of the power corporation’s $1.2 billion upgrade to the John Hart Dam Generating Station.
BC Hydro and the city have been working on an alternative so that the city can continue to supply water to the community. “We’ve been working hard with the city on the domestic water supply structure,” Watson said. “It’s several years in the making. Obviously with BC Hydro replacing

Coun. Andy Adams, who has the finance portfolio, said last summer that the city is not in a position to come up with the more than $4 million of its share and will look to grants and other means of financial support. Coun. Ron Kerr was critical of council’s decision to so readily accept BC Hydro’s offer. “I believe they should be paying 100 per cent and that’s how you negotiate,” Kerr said last August shortly after council agreed to Hydro’s offer. “To me it just doesn’t make
Officers and dog track down knife suspect Mounties and the police dog Rex tracked down a knife-wielding suspect Wednesday night near Nunns Creek Park in Campbellton.

sense. There was limited discussion and it was done too fast. Partners don’t cut off your water supply and if we’re partners with BC Hydro you just don’t do that. They should be paying the full cost.” Mayor Walter Jakeway agreed. “It’s not a Campbell River responsibility,” he said. “It’s a (BC Hydro) project cost.” The John Hart project is set to begin later this year. The winning project team is expected to be revealed this summer and a business open house
When police arrived, the suspect had fled and was believed to still be carrying the weapon. All available officers responded to the area and Rex picked up a scent leading along the Island Highway, through bushes and trails, and leading to the Walmart parking lot where officers were stationed at various check points. Apparently the suspect saw police too and tried fleeing down another path, but was quickly apprehended without further incident.
will follow in the fall as an opportunity for local workers to meet the winning team. Construction is expected to last five years and involves not only replacing the wood stave pipes with an underground tunnel but also building a new generating station next to the existing one and constructing a new water bypass facility. The project is expected to improve power reliability and seismic safety of the facility which has been in operation since 1947.
“Police service dogs are another tool for police officers in the execution of their duties,” said Cpl. Poppy Hallam in a news release. “This situation was high-risk, with potential for further violence, but was contained quickly with no injury to police or the public.” A 22-year-old Campbell River man is facing a charge of assault with a weapon and is expected to make his first appearance in Campbell River provincial court on June 10.

Are your dog’s vaccines up to date? Contributed by: Dr. Nast, Campbell River Veterinary Hospital
You may have recalled reading about a virus outbreak on the lower mainland a while ago. The culprit is an often-fatal canine virus called parvovirus (parvo). What are the clinical signs of parvo? The virus does not directly cause death; rather, it causes loss of the lining of the intestinal tract, and destroys some blood cell elements. The intestinal damage results in severe dehydration (water loss), electrolyte (sodium and potassium) imbalances, and infection in the bloodstream (septicemia). In this case, septicemia occurs when the bacteria that normally live in the intestinal tract are able to get into the blood stream; if septicemia develops, the dog is more likely to die. The clinical signs and symptoms of parvo disease can vary, but generally they include severe vomiting and diarrhea. The diarrhea often has a very strong smell, may contain lots of mucus and may or may not contain blood. Additionally, affected dogs often exhibit a lack of appetite, marked listlessness and depression, and fever. It is important to note that many dogs may not show every clinical sign, but vomiting and diarrhea are the most common and consistent signs; vomiting usually begins ďŹ rst. Parvo may affect dogs of all ages, but is most common in unvaccinated dogs less than one year of age. Young puppies less than ďŹ ve months of age are usually the most severely affected, and the most difďŹ cult to treat. Any unvaccinated puppy that shows the symptoms of vomiting or diarrhea should be
tested for parvo. veterinarians may alter this schedule. After the initial series of vaccinations, boosters will be required on a regular basis. How does a dog become infected with parvovirus? Your veterinarian and you should make the ďŹ nal decision The main source of the virus is from the feces of infected dogs. The virus begins to be shed in the feces just before clinical signs about the vaccination schedule that best ďŹ ts your pet's lifestyle. develop and shedding continues for about ten days. Susceptible dogs become infected by ingesting the virus. After ingestion, the virus is carried to the intestine where it invades the intestinal wall and causes inammation. Unlike most other viruses, parvo is very stable in the environment and is resistant to the effects of heat, detergents, alcohol, and many disinfectants. A 1:30 bleach solution will destroy the infective virus. Infective parvo has been recovered from surfaces contaminated with dog feces even after three months at room temperature. Due to its environmental stability, the virus is easily transmitted via the hair or feet of infected dogs, or on shoes, clothes, and other objects contaminated by infected feces. Direct contact between dogs is not required to spread the virus. Dogs that become infected with the virus and show ($10 value or more) clinical signs will usually become ill within six to ten days after exposure. Can parvo be prevented? The best method of protecting your dog against parvo infection is proper vaccination. Puppies receive a parvovirus vaccination as part of their multiple-agent vaccine series. It ($150 value) is recommended to be given at 8, 12, and 16 weeks of age. In some high-risk situations,

Residents tired of Dogwood traffic spillover on Nicholls, said drivers often come down his street instead of having to wait at the traffic light. “Nicholls has become a fairly major thoroughfare with the light changes on Dogwood,” Barber said. “People will skip that light and hit us like an interchange.” The traffic lights on Dogwood Street and intersections between Merecroft Road and 9th Avenue were reconfigured in June of 2009 at
KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Neighbours worried about children’s safety are speaking up about how their once quiet street has changed because of a council decision made four years ago. Residents on Nicholls Road say their residential street has become the short cut of choice for motorists trying to avoid the Dogwood lights. Pat Barber, who lives
a cost of $470,000. The goal was to improve traffic safety by allowing vehicles to turn left off of Dogwood unobstructed. While councillors, such as Claire Moglove, have argued that the lights have served their purpose and cut down on accidents at Dogwood intersections, the lights have also prompted a flood of complaints from drivers. T h e l i g h t s eve n started to irritate city
councillors. “Today going northbound I hit a red light at 4th, I hit a red light at 7th and I hit a red light at 9th at about 4:56 in the afternoon. Is there not anyway we could please better synchronize the lights?” Coun. Andy Adams asked city staff at a council meeting in early October of 2010. Staff did eventually tweak the lights and reported the adjustments did shave Dogwood travel times by
up to four minutes between Merecroft and 9th Avenue. But Nicholls Road residents say those changes haven’t had much of an effect in cutting down traffic along their street. Drivers are still turning onto Nicholls in order to avoid waiting at the light at Evergreen and Dogwood. Kelly McCay, who has young children, worries about safety along her street, especially with the recent Ever-
green Seniors Home’s proposed expansion onto Nicholls. “Since the installation of the light on Evergreen, we have had an increase of traffic travelling down our road, trying to save a few seconds by not waiting at the red light,” McCay said. “We are concerned about how much more traffic this business will bring to our road. We do not have sidewalks and the street can be quite dark at night.”
At a council meeting March 19, Coun. Larry Samson served notice that he will be bringing forward a motion at the next council meeting asking for a traffic assessment on Nicholls Road into potential traffic increases due to the 27-unit addition to the Evergreen Seniors Home and that the assessment investigate the possible increase in traffic using Nicholls Road as a bypass to the Evergreen and Dogwood intersection.

in January, referring to Seymour Pacific’s new project. “If we’re going to change our downtown, if we’re going to revitalize our downtown – and our downtown is the heart of the city – then this project has to go forward and this will change Campbell River for the better.” The downtown core

Our View
SPCA woven into the fabric of this community City council is going to be under the gun again now that the BC SPCA has announced it will close its Campbell River chapter. The SPCA made its announcement Wednesday and the reaction on social media, letters to the editor and the phone lines has We say: Their been strong – most of it condemning departure makes city council for awarding an enforcement contract to the lowest us all look a little bidder in January The loss of that part of their service has made the heartless operation of the animal shelter by the BC SPCA uneconomical. Consequently, the BC SPCA announced it will shut down its Campbell
River operations after nearly 30 years of service. This is an emotionally-charged issue with the SPCA representing a love for animals that has been fostered in this community through volunteerism and charitable works. The first community service many children in Campbell River ever did was to raise funds for the SPCA. Volunteers also walked dogs, socialized cats, fostered puppies and kittens and, of course, adopted unwanted animals. The SPCA has a strong emotional attachment to this community and city councillors are going to hear long and loud criticism over this decision. Did council expect the SPCA to pull out of Campbell River as a result of their choice? Likely
not. Do we elect councillors to make tough decisions like going with the lowest bidder for an animal services contract? Yes. But, as many people are going to tell councillors over the next few days and weeks, sometimes the bottom line doesn’t fulfill the community’s desires. So, it’s goodbye to an organization that has served this community well for 30 years. Thanks for all the good work you, your staff and hundreds of volunteers have done for us. The SPCA’s departure makes us all look just a little bit heartless. It makes us look like we care more about the bottom line than abused and neglected animals. And we know that’s not an accurate portrayal.

Get your facts straight Re: “Plenty of evidence” (Mirror, March 27) I have to say that I am glad that we live in a society that allows us public expression of our opinion without fear of ridicule. However, if you are going to accuse industry operators of issues such as contributing to the extinction of wild salmon then I would please ask you to make sure you have your facts straight. I have been working in the industry for over 25 years (in the field), and have seen first hand that these “diseases” you speak of were endemic to the environment, meaning that they were always there. As far as “muzzling,” any time that we bring forward empirical scientific data to support our position Ms. (Alexandra) Morton refuses to acknowledge it. It makes for a hostile environment when one side of the debate is not even willing to hear scientific evidence brought forward by leading authorities. I personally have no issue with members of the general public voicing concerns over issues of environmental impact. As a matter of fact, I see it as an excellent opportunity to gain a different perspective Continued on A9 We welcome your opinions on stories and issues published in our pages as well as issues of broader concern encountered elsewhere.

We should take a marketing tip from Port Alberni
Paul Rudan No, really
We have two museums in Campbell River that are world class, but I don’t think the world knows that. They’re pretty small compared to the Royal BC Museum in Victoria which – on a world scale – is midsized, but it’s quality not size that matters in museums. The Museum at Campbell River is exceptional and not just because it has the world’s biggest rain gutter. The exhibits are expertly displayed and provide a true sensory experience that brings our region’s history to life. Even my folks – Torontonians, world travellers and avid history buffs – remarked on the beauty of the exhibits and how refreshing and surprising it was to visit an excellent
museum in a small community. I’m sure they will also be impressed by the Maritime Heritage Centre. We tried to visit around the Christmas season, but it was closed. The best we could do was peer through the windows at the immaculately restored fishing vessel, the BCP 45, which forms the centrepiece of the museum. Next time I’ll take them inside for a closer look and to check out all the old naval gear, especially the cutlasses which makes me think of the swashbuckling era on the high seas. I thoroughly enjoy both museums, but I don’t visit often and the same goes for the rest of Campbell River. With the exception of the summer tourism season, the parking lots at
both venues are pretty empty for the rest of the year. They do fill up for social functions, but that’s not the same as someone making a dedicated visit to see the artifacts and to learn more about this region. And that kind of support starts at home. You know, be a tourist in your own community. As well, more students should be visiting both venues. I recently spoke with a representative of the Maritime Heritage Centre who said some classes visit, but it largely depends on the teacher. I wondered aloud that perhaps they should develop specific learning programs and tools, and pitch these directly to the school board. Put it this way, instead of having
Mr. Smith’s Grade 6 class visiting once a year, would it not be better to have every Grade 6 student in the district visit the centre? As well, to attract local people to our local venues, there must be a coordinated approach to marketing. This is not a new idea and was specifically identified in winter 2011 by a number of local organizations in meetings hosted by Rivercorp. I do hope they are moving forward because it’s desperately needed. You only have to look to Port Alberni which has already done so with its heritage attractions. The website alberniheritage.com is devoted to the town’s museum, steam-operated McLean Mill, steam Continued on A9
OPINION
FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 2013 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR |
Really: Museums Continued from A1 train and the maritime centre. In comparison, the Museum at Campbell River and Maritime Heritage Centre both have decent websites, but they barely make mention of each other. The only way I found out about the centre through the museum’s website was by typing in “Maritime Heritage Centre” under the search window. And the same was true about finding out about the museum on the centre’s webpage. The museum does include a masthead link to the Haig-Brown House, mostly because the museum is responsible for the heritage property. Both museums literally need to be on the same page and the same goes for the new waterfront aquarium, whenever that arrives. In the meantime, if you haven’t visited either museum recently, have a look, you won’t be disappointed. And just one last nitpick, the Maritime Heritage Centre needs to open more often than Monday to Friday, noon to 3 p.m. paulr@campbellrivermirror.com
What they’re saying on Kathleen Orland – Wow...So much for being “for the animals.” Aileen Barnes Busanic – I cannot express how dissapointed I am with City Council over this rediculous decision. What were you thinking? You choose mowing park lawns, maintaining an unused cruis ship terminal and flower baskets for the downtown core over the lives of animals? You have lost many votes of confidence with this disastrous move. More-riah Braun – Wow this is disgraceful. Very sad that such a great community can’t even hold on to
facility into a POUND, what type of ‘good’ care does any sane person believe a $25,000 budget is actually going to be??? Keep planting flowers downtown to cover up the nightmare you created behind closed doors for powerless animals. Nicely done CR.

Nancy Tamkin – One good thing is t h e s e p e o p l e t h at made this decision are ELECTED....show your displeasure at the next civic election and boot them out! This is disgraceful...!

Dear supporters, It is with great sadness that I am writing you regarding the closure of our Campbell River Branch. The city’s decision to award their pound service contract to another organization has resulted in the SPCA having to leave the city-owned animal shelter, effective March 31. Without our partnership with the city, it is financially impossible for the BC SPCA to support a branch in Campbell River. As a charitable organization, the SPCA has provided life-saving help for tens of thousands of injured, abused and homeless animals in the Campbell River area and has worked tirelessly to proactively address the root causes of animal suffering in the community. We could not have done this work on behalf of animals without you and we are truly grateful for your compassion and support for animals in need. In addition to our donor-funded services such as cruelty inves-
tigations, humane education for youth, lowcost spay/neuter assistance and advocacy, the SPCA has provided bylaw enforcement and pound services in Campbell River for more than 30 years through our contract with the city. Council’s decision to award its new pound contract to the lowest bidder raises a number of very serious concerns about the future safety and welfare of animals in Campbell River. The proposal submitted by the BC SPCA for the contract, based on 30 years of experience in the community, was the lowest figure we could possibly provide without severely compromising the health and welfare of the animals. We believe a dramatically lower bid is unrealistic and could only be offered by reducing the standard of care for animals to an unacceptable level. We have seen this happen in other communities, with very serious consequences for animals and residents. We hope you will continue to be a
voice for your community’s most vulnerable animals and will hold your mayor and council accountable for decisions regarding animal welfare. It has been our immense privilege to work with you to protect and enrich the lives of animals in your community. There is no doubt that the changes at the Campbell River shelter will result in an influx of local animals arriving at our BC SPCA in Comox Valley. Over the next month we will also be exploring how we can best continue to meet the needs of animals in Campbell River. We sincerely hope that you will continue to work with us to provide urgently needed care for abused, injured, neglected and homeless animals in your region. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at the Provincial Office at 1-800665-1868. Thank you again for your generosity and compassion for animals in need. Craig Daniell Chief Executive Officer, BC SPCA

Spring yard waste collection starts April 1 The City of Campbell River’s popular curbside yard waste collection program starts again April. 1. The spring collection service will run until May 24, 2013. “Spring is one of the peak seasons for yard waste volume generated since many residents are getting their gardens ready, doing pruning and cleaning up from the winter,” says Amber Zirnhelt, the City’s sustainability manager. Yard waste is collected during the spring on a weekly basis on the same day as residential garbage and recycling. Unlimited amounts of yard waste are accepted as long as they are placed in a rigid lidded container no larger than 80L each (maximum 20kg/44lbs), clearly marked Yard Waste, or bags labeled as biodegradable or compostable by the manufacturer. Branches and prunings must be tied in secure bundles measuring maximum 90cm (36”) long and 60cm (24”) wide. Individual branches must not exceed 7.5cm (3”) in diameter. Residents can also

Even though our2X14 winter driving season is almost over, the situation of stopping TYEE CHEV to pull an unfortunate driver out of the ditch came to mind. I think everyone realizes that care has to be exercised in pulling the vehicle out so that another collision doesn’t occur. However, being a good samaritan could make you a party to an offence. Take the instance of an impaired driver who has gone off the road. You feel sorry for them when you stop and find that they are just stuck and not hurt. Sure, they smell of liquor, but they don’t look too bad. A quick pull and everyone is on the way again. You are now a party to the offence of impaired driving because you have assisted the impaired driver to commit the offence. Section 21(1)(b) of the Criminal Code makes you liable to the same penalty as the driver. If a collision were to result after that driver went on their way you could also face civil liability in the matter. These circumstances probably don’t occur too often, but before you pull someone back onto the road take a good look at them and the circumstances before you offer help. If you have any doubts, offer to go for help rather than providing it yourself. A call to the police will provide both assessment and assistance and remove any risk to yourself.

Marlo’s recent focus of work is in the trust, estate, non-resident department although she has also utilized her degree in forestry with that sector of our clients. Both Karen and Marlo completed their articling and rigorous course schedule delivered through the CA School of Business (CASB) leading up to the UFE. Karen qualified as a CA this December and Marlo qualified in February 2013. We are all very proud of both of their accomplishments and look forward to having them continue serving their clients and mentoring our newest CA students.

In addition to proper pasture and manure mana g ement techniques, participants will lear n effective ways to manage composting systems. Did you know, adding organic matter to soil through composting, helps sequester carbon, reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere. In addition to mitigating the greenhouse effect, adding organic matter to soil enhances its fertility and provides more nutrients for crops. It also increases total water retention from 30 per cent to as much as 300 per cent, which means cleaner water and reduced leaching.

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

Jellies, turkeys rule spring J
PHOTO BY BRIAN KYLE
Concentric patterns on spring turkey tails (above) and golden jelly cones (below, right) add some colour to Vanocuver Island’s fascinating spring mushroom season.
iggly little jellies and wavy turkey tails; few would think to find them on springtime nature walks. Yet they are among a handful of fungi at their loveliest in late March, proving that Vancouver Island’s mushroom season is not merely relegated to autumn. The Pacific Northwest has a short but fascinating spring mushroom season, when a handful of fungi ‘spring’ to life
with melting, warming days and cool nights. It helps to remember that the visible part of a mushroom plant is the organism’s ‘fruit’, like an apple on an apple tree, and that the main structure – mycelium – lies beneath the surface. Colourful and filled with moisture, jelly fungi are a fun find on a cool springtime stroll. Golden jelly cone (Guepiniopsis alpines), forms small, conical caps of

vents it has and the retention system improves accordingly. No matter how expensive or cheap the helmet is, if it does not fit properly it’s not the helmet for you. Fitting a helmet is most important; it should fit snugly on top of the head, not too far back or forward and should not wobble on the head. It should fit level and low on your forehead, about two finger widths above your eyebrows. Replace a helmet
after a crash or if it is damaged. Check frequently for damage, small almost invisible hairline cracks can render a helmet useless. Research has shown that UV sunlight and environmental conditions can deteriorate the polystyrene over time and the general recommendation is that helmets should be replaced every three to five years regardless of condition.

ARIES All around you, including at the office, compromise is what it takes for everyone to be in total agreement. Your patience is put to the test. TAURUS Sometimes you can’t help but be a superhero, but there are days when you tend to overdo things. In other words, you need to take care of your own needs before being able to take care of others’.
CANCER It is important to take the time to weigh your words in some situations or even to double check your information before stating your opinion. Don’t judge yourself too harshly for any errors you make. LEO If you have costly purchases to make, you would be wise to take your time before making any financial commitments. Mulling over the transaction for a few days will help you negotiate a much better price. VIRGO You receive numerous propositions to get involved in a wide range of interesting activities. Maybe you should check your budget before you commit to all of them. LIBRA Your health requires you to rest more. This may be just the incentive you need to treat yourself to an amazing vacation, during which you can enjoy the various treatments on offer. SCORPIO Despite being a passionate person you’re very pragmatic and don’t lose your temper over trifling details. You consider undertaking some form of spiritual practice.

He went to school in Burnaby and moved to Quesnel in 1968 where he lived for seventeen years. Richard was employed as a logging truck driver and also in pipe lining and heavy construction. Richard is survived by his wife Stephanie and her children; Crystal, Garrett, Trevor and Skylar, Richard’s daughters; Kara, Kayla and Savannah, parents; Ed and Eleanor Wild, sisters; Cheryl (Les), Brenda (Gerry), grandchildren, aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends all over BC.
He is predeceased by daughter Brook and grandparents. Private internment of Cremains. A Celebration of Life will be held March 31, 2013 at 1 pm in the Quesnel Seniors Center. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to BC Cancer Society.
Passed away in Campbell River, on March 23, 2013. Lorne was predeceased by his mother, Dorothy, father, Solomon, brothers; Eddie, Norman, Henry and Gerald and sisters; June and Doris. Lorne is survived by his sons Matthew (Krista) of Chilliwack, BC and Steven (Cynthia) of Castlegar, BC and grandchildren; Bridger and Jairdan. Lorne was a logger from 1968 to 2002 out of the Kelsey Bay Division. Lorne enjoyed and took pride in his job on the rigging and at the sort. He made many good long term friends among his fellow workers. Lorne was an avid fisherman, enjoying every minute he could on the straits outside of Kelsey Bay. He loved being on the water fishing or just beachcombing the local beaches with his two boys Matt and Steven. Lorne also enjoyed nature and would enjoy just driving the back roads to pass the time. Lorne was a loving father and good provider to his sons. He was someone who was always willing to help a person in need. Lorne had a quirky sense of humour and was always able to put a smile on your face. Lorne was a true story teller and was always willing to tell a story to those who would listen. Lorne was loved, respected and he will be missed. Flowers gratefully declined, for those wishing donations may be made in Lorne’s memory to the Learning Disability Association of BC, (for kids with learning disabilities), Suite 513, 6360 137th Street, Surrey, BC, V3W 1A3, or at www.ldabc.ca or www. canadahelps.org.

INFORMATION If at home you do not find me For I must break the chains that bind me Down by the waters I must go, To watch the tides the ebb and flo. To watch the eagle high above, Or even see a morning dove, A spotted Tow-Hee flaunts his stuff, A flash of brilliance in the rough The joy of nature by the sea, Creations gift to you and me It’s there for every seeking eye, If we would watch as time goes by

Helping the body and mind cope
Strathcona Gardens hosting a spring market
If you are experiencing and illnesses due to cancer or other acute disease? Are you are suffering grief due to the loss of a loved one? Are you the caregiver and assisting a person with a terminal illness? If you have answered yes to any of these questions, then you may benefit from participating in Therapeutic Relaxation Skills offered by the Campbell River Hospice Society. Participants are guided through a 45 minute deep relaxation session. “It is learning by doing” says Diane Davies, Pacific Therapy & Consulting. “Specific, well known relaxation skills are used to help the body and mind cope with physical side effects of medication, as well as moderate the roller coaster and emotional ride of an illness.” Each Wednesday from 3:30-4:30 p.m, the Campbell River Hospice Society will be offering this free program at their office. A program, which assisted cancer clients with the physical and the emotional side effects of treatments, had been offered for years in the Victoria area through the BC Cancer Agency. When therapist Kate Witzel, from the Courtenay area, experienced the program
The Strathcona Regional District will be hosting a Spring Market on Saturday, April 20 from 6:30-9 p.m. at the swimming pool. They will be hosting a number of local businesses who will have their talents on display. This is an opportunity to support some of the talented entrepreneurs in the city. Many of the items available for sale are hand crafted. Your admission fee to the Beach Market Spa will also give you the opportunity to try out some new fitness activities. There will be hula hooping, kayaking and possibly scuba diving. These are just a few of the ways to become active in the community while having fun. All girls and women welcome to this fun filled relaxing evening of shopping and pampering. Tickets are $10 each or $15 for two. Contact Strathcona Gardens at 250-287-9234 for more information.
Participants in the Therapeutic Relaxation Skills program offered by the Campbell River Hospice Society are helped to achieve a sense of relaxation and peace.
for her own treatments, she decided that this service was necessary on the North Island. She, along with Diane Davies, embarked on a quest to accomplish just that. Through funding from the BC Cancer Agency they were successful in initiating the first of these programs outside of the main cancer agencies in Courtenay. Campbell Riverite, Elizabeth Simundson attended
a session in Courtenay and felt that there was enough demand to bring the program to Campbell River as well. And the Therapeutic Relaxation Program in Campbell River was born. As a Hospice Volunteer, Simundson facilitated the program out of the Hospice office until her own death from cancer in 2009. “It’s really meaningful to me that making sure the program continued was something that Eliza-
beth thought about, even as she was very close to the end of her own life,” says Diane Davies. “I have facilitated the program in Courtenay since its beginning, and have filled in for Elizabeth in Campbell River when her own health became compromised. I got a phone call just after Elizabeth died from her sister, saying that Elizabeth had asked that I please continue the programs after her death.
I of course have done just that.” However, since that time, changes to the funding for this program have occurred. The BC Cancer Agency has now decided to only operate these programs within their agencies. Campbell River Hospice Society felt that the program was indeed necessary for the wellbeing of the members of their community and will continue to fund and support Simundson’s legacy by providing the program, facilitated by Davies, Pacific Therapy & Consulting and Coulette Ordano, of Healing Palms “The program really fits with our mandate,” says Iona Wharton, Director of Programs & Services for the Campbell River Hospice Society. “We will continue to offer this program at a new time on Wednesdays for those who are experiencing illnesses due to cancer or other acute disease, as well as for grief clients and caregivers. We really want to recognize the role that the caregivers have during illnesses, and wish to support them.” For more information, visit our website: www. crhospice.org or contact the Campbell River Hospice Society at 250-286-1121 or drop by their office at #104, 301 Dogwood Street.
