Regional district plans scuttled as band scoops Q-Cove property Paul Rudan Campbell RiveR miRRoR
The former BC Packer lands skirting Quathiaski Cove on Quadra Island will soon belong to the We Wai Kai Nation. Chief Ralph Dick wouldn’t divulge the selling price, but said the deal with the land owners, Weston Foods, will be complete by the end of May. “This is something we’ve been working on for nearly 15 years,” the chief told the Mirror. “We’ve done a feasibility study and a development plan…it’s not like we just decided to do this.” But ne ws of t he impending sale was a complete surprise to Jim Abram, Quadra’s representative to the Strathcona Regional District. “We’ve spent two-anda-half years on the planning process for these lands,” he said Thursday, as he waited in the Quathiaski Cove ferry line-up. Abram said a Weston representative even sat in on the planning sessions and indicated the company was not going to sell the land to the First Nations band. “Sounds like they’ve changed their mind,” Abram added. According to Chief Dick though, the band has been in ongoing negotiations for the property – a former fish packing site – and turned down a deal many years ago when they could have had the land “for a
song.” “There was site contamination that we weren’t prepared to deal with,” he said. “Since then they spent a lot of money cleaning everything up and they did a good job.” The Strathcona Regional District was planning to put in sewers through Q-Cove and create a mixed commercialresidential development with plenty of public space and tourist-related amenities. Chief Dick indicated the band’s plans aren’t that different from the regional district’s vision, but how the development proceeds will be interesting to follow. There’s still bad blood between the band council and the regional district over the band’s scallop farm, located on the east side of Quadra, just south of Rebecca Spit. The regional district gave the We Wai Kai a two-year lease to put in a submerged farm as a test site. The band was able to produce premier scallops and wanted to remain there, but in 2010, the regional district asked the band to relocate the farm due to complaints from some oceanfront property owners. The band refused to budge, pointing out that test site was excellent and to move would be costly. Today, the scallop farm remains in operation, but is, according to Abram, in contravention of the island’s official commu-
nity plan. And now, with the Q-Cove land purchase, the band has derailed the regional district’s development aspirations. “They gave us so much trouble over the scallop farm that we just have to do our own thing,” Chief Dick said. The band is considering two options for the property: Apply to have it turned into reserve land or develop it fee simple with other investors. If the lands remain private, and are not reserve, then Abram said the band will have to consult with the regional district about its plans and abide by all regulations. In spite of the ongoing feud between elected representatives, Chief Dick assured islanders they have good plans for the waterfront property. “It’s not like we’re going to build another fish plant,” he said with a chuckle. “We’re thinking mostly residential with some commercial and make it touristy.” Fast facts: n The We Wai Kai Nation is also known as the Cape Mudge Indian Band. n The band has two main residential reserve lands, one on Quadra at Cape Mudge and the other in Campbell River at Quinsam Heights. n The band has approximately 500 people living on reserve and about 500 living off

Council raises water, sewer rates Kristen Douglas
Campbell RiveR miRRoR
Council has approved an increase in both water and sewer fees in order to pay for replacements to the city’s aging infrastructure. Water will be going up by 10 per cent, or $22 more per month, in each of the next five years and sewer fees will rise by six per cent ($21 per month) over the same period for flat user fees. Ron Neufeld, the city’s general manager of operations, and City Manager Andy Laidlaw told council Tuesday night that some city pipes are cracking and need to be replaced but the city isn’t moving fast enough to make the costly improvements. “We have an infrastructure renewal program that is too slow to keep up,” Laidlaw said. “We need to plan to accommodate the growth (in population) in respect to infrastructure (and) we need to replace our infrastructure which is aging.” Currently, water and sewer revenues are only covering operational costs and are not enough to make the necessary upgrades.
The city needs $35.7 million for water projects and is looking at a revenue gap of $5.79 million. The city’s 2013-2017 financial plan has the city borrowing $10.2 million, receiving $13 million from BC Hydro for the new water intake related to the John Hart project, an $8.6 million draw on city reserve accounts, the rate increases approved on Tuesday, as well as $3.9 million in federal and provincial government grants but those are not yet secured. For sewer, the city is looking at $25.8 million in projects but will be $3.63 million short. The projects are expected to be funded through $4.8 million of borrowing, $1 million in federal and provincial government grants (also unsecured), a $20 million draw on reserves, and the sewer rate increases. As it stands right now,
the current financial plan provides for $1 million in both water and sewer replacement each year. Ron Neufeld, the city’s general manager of operations, said based on current market conditions, $1 million only funds about one kilometre of pipe renewal. The problem is, 50 kilometres of the city’s existing water and sewer mains are already past their serviceable life, which represents a $50 million infrastructure deficit. Neufeld reiterated what Laidlaw said that the current renewal rate does not keep pace with the city’s aging infrastructure. As of today, 24 kilometres of water pipeline need to be replaced, increasing to 102 kilometres by 2033 at the current renewal pace while 26 kilometres of sewer line need to be replaced, which will increase to 67 kilometres by 2028 at the current speed – a pace
that Neufeld said needs to be increased for both water and sewer. Neufeld pres ented council with a Powerpoint presentation which s h owe d c on c e r n i ng slides. He noted that by 2018, 31 kilometres of sewer pipeline will need to be replaced and with just 5.2 kilometres being scheduled for replacement from 2013-2018, there will be a 25.8 kilometre deficit. That trend continues up until 2033 when 86 kilometres of pipe will need to be replaced and with just 20.2 kilometres projected for replacement from 2013-2033, there would be a 65.8 kilometre deficit. The conditions are similar for water pipes. Ne u fe l d s ai d t h e approved water and sewer rate increases will begin to provide some ability for emergency repairs, borrowing money, an

increased pace of infrastructure renewal, and contributions to reserves. Coun. Andy Adams noted Campbell River is not alone and that aging infrastructure is a problem nation-wide. He said it’s possible the federal government will make funding available to local governments this year for infrastructure projects. “This isn’t a Campbell River problem, it’s a national problem that really needs to be addressed,” Adams said. “All the municipalities have been lobbying the federal government to expand infrastructure funding and (Finance Minister) Mr. (Jim) Flaherty has indicated that may be happening.” On that basis, council approved the water and sewer rate increases, subject to review or adjustment if the city is successful in obtaining government grants.

Council wants to avoid Robron Park borrowing referendum Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR
Council is moving forward with the Robron Park improvement project and has directed city staff to look into borrowing money in a manner that would avoid a referendum. While the strategy would not provide a chance for taxpayers to give their approval or not, it would ensure taxpayers would not have to pay back the money through a tax increase. That’s because the borrowing would be over a shorter period of time, five years (which does not require a referendum) and the amount could be paid back through an increase to the Parks Parcel Tax, rather than general taxation. If the city borrowed the money to complete Robron Park over a 10-year period, a $50,000 referendum would be required and would be paid back likely through a tax increase.

Coun. Andy Adams, who has championed the Robron Park project for several years, said the community ranked Robron as the number one parks priority in the city’s recent Strategic Parks Plan survey and he’s confident it’s a project the public wants. He also acknowledged that the city has already spent $250,000 on design plans and $700,000 from the Parks Parcel Tax to finish the project. “I want to remind council that this was part of the parks survey that was done and the Robron Park complex that the city has already invested hundreds of thousands of dollars into,” Adams said. “If there is one question – it needs to be addressed sooner rather than later – and that is, do we want to do it or not, or do we want to just sort of drag it on. This is an opportunity to do what the community survey told us the community would like.” But Coun. Ron Kerr 4for3 Fall 2011 September 12 to October 15, 2011

wasn’t buying it. “Number one, I don’t believe that it’s a number one priority for parks in the city and number two I don’t agree with the five-year borrowing option which avoids a referendum,” Kerr said. “And the third point is because it was turned down in a previous referendum (in 2008), and I believe it still needs the taxpayers’ approval in a referendum before I’ll support it.” Coun. Claire Moglove, however, reiterated that Robron was identified by the public as the park the community would most like to see upgraded and said it was council’s responsibility to at least look into the possibilities. “This report would provide council with an option for financing,” she said. “It doesn’t mean we are going ahead with it; it provides an option for funding and it will come back to council.” With Kerr and Mayor
Walter Jakeway opposed, council elected to direct city staff to report back with more information on how to finance the final two phases of Robron Park, which is expected to cost $4.9 million. The city would be short $3.3 million so council has instructed staff to look into borrowing money over five years and paying it back through an annual $200,000 Parks Parcel Tax contribution between 2014 and 2018. Council also wants staff to look into whether or not it would be possible to increase a $300,000 contribution from the Community Works Fund for the project. Phases two and three of the project include: an artificial turf field, Merecroft and South Birch parking lot upgrades, utilities and drainage, upper walkway and lookouts, paths and trails, spectator spine/bleachers and all hard and soft landscaping.

Seniors society looking under every rock for a place to set up a new Campbell River Seniors’ Centre Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR
Campbell River seniors say they have “left no stone unturned” in their search for their own seniors centre after they learned they will have to move to a smaller space in the mall. The Seniors’ Centre, which occupies a space in the mall across from Bootlegger, is being relocated to the old Iron Kettle restaurant space. Bruno Fornika, chair of the seniors society building committee, said while the seniors are grateful to Campbell River Common mall owner Alan Edie, the move means the seniors will be losing space. “We (will) be required
to move to the old Iron Kettle site on June,” Fornika told city council at its meeting Tuesday night. “We feel nothing but gratitude toward our landlord. Without his generosity, there would not have been a seniors’ centre in Campbell River. And I repeat again, there would not have been a seniors’ centre. We never received help from anybody else. “We have 6,000 square feet in our current location, when we move we will lose perhaps 500 of those square feet,” Fornika said. The seniors are looking for a space with at least 8,000 square feet which it can call its own in order to accommodate a growing mem-
bership and programming for members. He l e n Wh it a k e r, recorder for the building committee, said the seniors are desperately searching for a facility. “We have left no stone unturned. We welcome every single suggestion,” Whitaker said. “We have no naysayers and we have pursued every lead. We know we need 8,000 square feet. We are out of space ladies and gentlemen, we are out of space. We are running programs and we have membership interest in them and we have the volunteer instructors with no space to run those programs.” Whitaker said according to the 2000-2006 census, there’s been a
31 per cent increase in citizens over the age of 65 in Campbell River and one-half of the city’s population is over the age of 48. “Ready or not, we are becoming a community of seniors and I prefer ready,” Whitaker said, in urging council for support. Fornika and Whitaker, on behalf of the seniors society, asked council Tuesday night for $250,000 to help renovate or remodel any building it is able to purchase, lease or have donated. Fornika noted that few seniors centres in B.C. get along without any help from the city and seniors in Campbell River are “over due for some help.”

Before then, a seniors’ centre did not exist in Campbell River. Once the seniors outgrew that space they approached Edie at the Campbell River Common who has leased out a space in the mall to the seniors at no cost since July 1, 2010. The Seniors’ Centre provides a reasonably priced lunch and a variety of free activities to its 531 members and 136 volunteers.

ROADSIDE WEED CONTROL IN LATE APRIL A roadside weed control program that involves applying commercially available weed killer to curbs and sidewalks along high-traffic local roads will begin April 25. Priority routes including: Dogwood, Alder, Rockland, Hwy 19A, Hilchey, Petersen and the corridor along 9th Ave., Homewood and 14th Ave. Herbicide will be applied to seams in sidewalks, concrete curb and gutter and centre meridians. The City will schedule herbicide application for early morning hours (starting at 5 a.m.) to minimize traffic disruption, and to ensure the product is dry and
considered safe before most people are out walking. The City expects to apply herbicide twice this year in problem areas, and aims to reduce frequency of the herbicide application in future years. The City will also set up signs in during the work where herbicide application is occurring. Herbicide will not be applied during rainy or windy conditions, so the schedule could change depending on the weather. For more information: check out a Frequently Asked Questions document under What’s New on the City’s website.

This party system not much fun
Elections always turn into popularity contests between the “good guys” and the “bad guys” when there really are no good guys and bad guys. Such a situation is inevitable when the point is to convince the voter that you are We say: We need better than the other guy. And it must be hard to avoid an adverpoliticians to sarial mindset when the runner-up is work on behalf of going to be labelled “The Official Opposition” and asked to spend the next four the province years going on about what a terrible job the winner is doing. We can’t be alone in thinking what a horrible waste it all is.
And we blame the party system. We want a government that sets balanced policy in response to the needs and desires of British Columbians as a whole. The party system encourages a government that is either a slave to the desires of big business, or pawn in advancing the agenda of the unions. We want MLAs who are fair-minded, broad thinkers, able to see the big picture. The party system gives us choices selected by small groups of dedicated idealogues and backed by coalitions of special interests. We want a legislature full of respectful people dedicated to working together for betterment of the province. The
party system gives us a room full of mocking voices built for sabotage and ready to pounce and devour at the slightest misstep. Political scientists could quickly supply a tonne of reasons why any attempt to ban political parties won’t work. We say it’s already not working. The rising amount of disaffected voters is all the proof we need. We need to elect independent people to work on behalf of their province and community, not special interests and ideologies. Ban political parties and let the co-operation begin. — Black Press

Clark follows Campbell’s lead
Did I hear it correctly? A few days ago, Christy Clark looked into the CBC news camera and told us that Moodys, a debt-rating agency which she claims is one of the best in the world, had told her that the Liberal Budget is balanced. When CBC’s Reality Check investigated, they found that such agencies do not verify balanced budgets. In fact, they discovered that Moodys gives BC a negative credit outlook and blames the province’s recent accumulation of debt under the BC Liberals. So why would Christy tell us different? Perhaps she is merely following the example of Gordon Campbell who said, during his election platform, that if elected he would not move BC to the HST. A few weeks later, we discovered he had already set the process in place some time before he made that promise.

Derelict canoe floats me back to my happy youth
Alistair Taylor
Out On A Limb @AlstrT
editor@campbellrivermirror.com
Like a flag, the orange tarp tugs at my conscience, reminding me constantly of an unfinished project. Unfinished is an understatement. Get started is the right phrase. I first saw it overturned on a rack attached to a dock in Haida Gwaii. Fire engine red. White lettering: Sugarfoot II. I’ve always wondered whatever happened to the first Sugarfoot but that will remain a mystery to me. The owner of Sugarfoot II, at the time I first set eyes on it, was a mystery to me then and, of course now. But the 14-foot cedar and canvas canoe was soon to come into the sphere of my family when my oldest brother bought it. Like all cedar and canvas canoes, it’s aged cedar ribs were stained to a dark
patina. Like the taste of a fine wine maturing, it’s wood grain darkened as it absorbed hours of exploration. I taught myself how to roll it over, empty it out and get back in. I taught myself bad paddling habits but my technique was good enough to propel me around the saltchuck near my home. The red canvas was still in good shape then but eventually it would get used and abused, particularly after my brother gave to his younger siblings when he upgraded to a 16-foot Peterboroughstyle cedar and canvas canoe. As a teenager living on the shores of Tasu Sound, I paddled Sugarfoot II throughout the saltwater inlets of my remote mining town home. Hours and hours of exploration embedded a natu-
ralist ethic in me that persists to this day. The single most reason I love canoes is probably due to the pleasure I got as a youngster from Sugarfoot II. Responsive to the paddle, she could dance on the water. As a small boat, she wasn’t meant for big water but in sheltered bays and inlets I’d investigate the interface between tidal shallows and graveled delts, between dark waters and rocky shores. Sugarfoot II and I parted company years ago when it remained behind in Tasu and I moved north, then eventually south. Then I moved north again as a young man starting a career, a career that eventually brought me to Campbell River. Circumstances conspired to have Sugar-
foot II join me here. She is in woeful shape now: Canvas is peeling off,planks are cracked, ribs are broken, and gunwales and inwales are worn and sprung loose. But there’s no rot. And she gives me hope. Hope that some day I’ll dance with her on the water once again. For now she sits, wrapped in bright orange plastic...waiting. Waiting for me to restore her to former glory. I’ve read about all there is to read about restoring canoes. I’m reasonably adept with tools. I have enough of them to do the job. What I don’t know, I can teach myself. So, she sits under the orange tarp, patiently waiting. The time has come to get started. I’m tired of listening to the tarp flap in the wind. Like a flag.

City gives pound contract to private company instead of SPCA Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR
City council has awarded its animal pound contract to Coastal Animal Control instead of the BC SPCA, although the city is still negotiating with the society to provide animal welfare services. At its Tuesday meeting, council voted to give the city’s pound services contract to Coastal for a five-year term – $25,000 in each of the first three years, with a two per cent increase in year four and in year five. Coun. Larry Samson was opposed. But while the city has taken the animal pound contract away from the SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), council does not want to take the SPCA out of the picture. Coun. Andy Adams put forward a motion, which was approved by council, to direct city
staff to continue to work with the BC SPCA to reach a deal that could bring the society back to Campbell River. “It’s interesting to note, in the April 17th edition of the newspaper, there’s an ad from the BC SPCA saluting all of its volunteers for National Volunteer Week,” Adams said, acknowledging the ad he ripped out of the paper. “It says – and I read from the ad – ‘The BC SPCA is a non-profit organization funded by public donations. Our mission is to prevent cruelty and to promote the welfare of animals through a wide range of services including cruelty investigations, emergency rescue and treatment, sheltering and adoption of homeless and abused animals, humane education, advocacy, farm animal welfare, spay/neuter programs, and wildlife rescue and rehabilita-
tion.’ And I think that’s exactly what we’d like to see the SPCA do in this region. I think staff have worked hard with the BC SPCA and representatives of the community (Cyriel DeBruyne and veterinarian Helen Kwong) to make that happen.” The BC SPCA, in a message posted on its website, said its meeting with city council last week was constructive and “all parties were in agreement that every effort should be made to ensure the SPCA is able to stay in Campbell River. We are working on proposals now.” According to Kwong, the SPCA sent a revised offer to the city last Friday, which was less than the original $95,000 it was asking the city for to provide shelter and animal welfare services. The SPCA said it costs $400,000 to operate the shelter and has been subsidizing its Campbell
River branch as it loses $10,000 in operations in each year. Kwong is urging the community to take action and will be launching a fundraiser May 1, Go Loonie for the SPCA, to raise funds to help the SPCA return to Campbell River. Council, in a decision made in-camera (closed to the media and the public), has agreed to match funds raised in the community up to $10,000. The contest involves fundraising challenges among teams, businesses, and individuals to see who can raise the most money for the SPCA. Kwong said the community needs to raise as much as it can because “there will likely be a shortfall in funds between what is offered (from the city) and proposed. It is up to our community to make the dif-
7x7 7x7
ference, and hopefully the SPCA will not be in this position next year,” Kwong added. She stressed that if the SPCA is not able to restart its operations in the community, the city is headed for an explosion of feral cats. “Our SPCA housed approximately 1,100 pets each year, of which 800 of those pets were cats,” Kwong said. “As well, any animal welfare issues cannot be addressed efficiently in our community.” The contest is expected to kick-off on the steps of city hall May 1 at noon, with Acting Mayor Samson proclaiming May SPCA month. The contest ends May 31 and all donations must be dropped off at Scotia Bank. All participants in the contest must register by calling the Merecroft Veterinary Clinic at 250-2872007.

Victim counselling services available in Campbell River
The public is generally aware of how women can be victims of powerbased crimes. During National Victims of Crime Awareness Week (April 21-27), people are now being made aware that males can be victims of bullying, sexual abuse, and physical abuse as well. Recently, more and more men have stepped forward to do what they can to right the wrongs of the power-based crimes they have suffered on team sports, in youth organizations, in residential schools, in church affiliated facilities, and in families, said Celia Laval, a counsellor with the North Island Survivors’ Healing Society (NISHS). Children impacted by these crimes can have some hard things to overcome in adult years. The impact of abuse on male victims can affect them years later in their roles as fathers, as intimate partners, and as role models. For example, sometimes well-meaning fathers can find themselves being over protective of their own children. Some people don’t feel that they are worthy, so they do not expect much of themselves in relationship to others. Other survivors have their nervous systems so affected by trauma that they have a hard time focusing on anything or connecting with others at all. The effects of being a victim of a crime can be far-reaching. We all want to move on from difficult experiences. But in some cases, a difficult experience can exceed our capacity to process and move on, no matter how much we want to. Campbell River has one of only a few nonprofit agencies in B.C. that offers subsidized professional counselling for men and women that have been affected by traumatic experiences, including crimes. For more information or to make an appointment for individual counselling, men or women can contact the North Island Survivors’ Healing Society at 250287-3325.

Neighbours oppose liquor store plans Kristen Douglas
Campbell RiveR miRRoR
Nearby residents are speaking out against developer Derik Pallan’s proposal to build an apartment building along the South Island Highway with a liquor store on the bottom floor. Campbell River lawyer Grant Currie, who lives across the street from the proposed development, is against the project for a number of reasons. “I am strongly opposed to the proposed amendment,” Currie told council at a public hearing Tuesday. “The amendment is simply a poor idea. The lot is far too small for the proposed development. The concept does nothing to enhance the
development, services or appeal of the gateway to Campbell River.” The lot in question is beside the Big Rock Motel, also owned by Pallan. Pallan is proposing to build a five-storey, eight unit apartment complex with a 278 metre-squared liquor store below. City staff are in favour of the application. “With specific relevance to the proposal for a liquor store at ground level with residential apartments above, the OCP (Official Community Plan) supports residential classification and also seeks to provide for new commercial developments; particularly those designed to serve residents and tourists,” said Chris Osbourne, city
planner, in a report to council. But Currie disagrees that the proposal supports the Official Community Plan. “The building of a liquor store with an apartment building above it does nothing to foster the four principle objectives of the OCP,” Currie said. “Building on that particular lot would un-green the waterfront and instead it will homogenize and commercialize it.” Currie said the proposal will also increase the amount of traffic turning left and right on the highway. Osbourne disputes that. “The site, accessed directly from the Island Highway, is adjacent to the Big Rock Motel and close to the Husky gas

station and boat launch,” Osbourne said in his report. “The number of vehicle trips projected to be generated by the proposed use would not have any significant impact above the existing baseline of traffic volume along the Island Highway.” Neighbour Don Young, who also lives across the street from the proposed development, disagrees. “This is a heavily congested area for traffic using the boat ramp and the service station,” Young said. “We’re concerned with having a liquor store in our area.” Young said he doesn’t think it’s necessary to have another liquor establishment in the area. “We’re 15 minutes walk-

We do not want the moniker, ‘Campbell River – Liquor Store Capital of Vancouver Island.’” The proposal will be up for discussion by council at its next meeting, May 7.

his week, we’re going to look at one of the most common accidents between cars and cyclists: The right turn. This is a tricky one and one of the most dangerous moves a cyclist can make. Remember, as a cyclist, you will always come off worst! There have been many cyclists killed or seriously injured by this move. So here it is: Driver: “When approaching an intersection to turn right, I slow down and signal, but

vehicles to pass. The pass must only be made when safe to do so. Therefore, a cyclist passing a vehicle ahead that is clearly signaling a right turn – which might block their path at any time – would not be making a “pass in safety.” Most municipalities follow the Transportation Association of Canada’s guidelines for bicycle lane design. At an intersection, the solid line of the bicycle lane becomes a dashed
line to warn motorists they are crossing into the bicycle lane. The dashed line also serves to alert cyclists that there may be turning vehicles crossing their path. Defensive driving demands that you always assume the “other guy” may not follow the rules, and act accordingly to protect yourself. For drivers, this means pausing to check for cyclists passing or approaching from the
rear before completing a right turn and for cyclists, this means being prepared to stop if the turning car should move while you’re passing. But the best option is not to pass on the right at all, but rather stop behind the vehicle, and move forward when the car has completed their right turn, or if safe, swing out and pass on the left.

Motorcycles are for women Women who are interested in riding motorcycles either on the front seat or on the back are invited to attend “A Woman’s Experience” of Riding. There will be four different workshops inside the hall at 10:30 a.m. The Co-Rider with retired RCMP motorcycle instructor Dave Hay, who has taught both police and civilian beginner and advanced riders. This workshop is intended to provide information that will result in increased awareness and greater team interaction between the rider and the co-rider. Hay will also do a workshop on How to Pack Your Bike for the Trip at noon inside the hall which will provide information on how to safely pack your motorcycle for a trip. At 11 and 12:30 a.m., outside, Andrew Ringdahl, Sales Manager at B o at land/Suzu ki Motorcycles in Campbell River, will be doing Basic Motorcycle Maintenance. Also, outside at 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m., Brian
Hicks, long time motorcycle rider, will do a workshop to show you How To Pick up Your Motorcycle should you drop it. Hicks says, “If you’re going to ride a bike you’re going to drop it sooner or later so come to the workshop and I’ll show you how to pick it up.” The first 20 women through the door will receive a goodie bag. There will be door prizes from Milwaukee Twin, Merle Norman, Bikesmith, V.I. Fitness, Bijoux Homemade Jewellery by Laura Barley, Britches & Hose Vintage Clothing, and Best Western Austrian Chalet all from Campbell River plus Ride Free Motogear from Coquitlam, V. I. Honda in Nanaimo, and Steve Drane Harley-Davidson from Victoria, and more. There is still time to book a table if you have swap meet stuff geared toward the woman rider (clothing, bike parts, accessories, jewellery. etc…) or if you have a business and want to display and sell product to and for the woman rider (bandanas, jewellery, hel-
mets, riding gear, leathers, etc), contact Marne Svennes as soon as possible to reserve your table as tables are limited. It’s never been easier for women to get on a motorcycle and find freedom and adventure on two wheels. Motorcycling for women is not only a hobby but something women incorporate into their everyday lives. Women ride to work, to school, to run errands. “ The incre as e in women riders is one of the most exciting developments in the motorcycling community over the past decade. But the growth of the number of women motorcycling underscores the need for addressing the specific needs of women riders as well as build on their experiences to enrich the riding experience for all,” says Mary Johnson, cochair of the conference designed for women riders. It’s a great time to be a woman who rides a motorcycle – in fact, there has never been this many woman-oriented motorcycle events tak-
ing place in a single year. Wherever you’re located, 2013 offers dozens of opportunities to experience the camaraderie of riding with other women who share the same passion As more women pick up the sport, manufacturers are producing a wide variety of motorcycles that are suitable for the female frame and dealers are hosting events and seminars that only cater to women. HarleyDavidson, for example, organizes “Garage Parties” to familiarize women with the great sport of motorcycle riding and has declared May as Women Riders Month. May 3 is Female Ride Day so get out and join other women and the rest of the world in honouring women who have taken life by the handlebars. International Female Ride Day is a day to celebrate and highlight the countless current and growing numbers of women riders while underlining the fun and fervour women share in the activity. In Calgary on August 15-18, is the Women Riding into the

Drive Smart BC The Government Didn’t Tell Me
2X14 2X14
I’ve been watching a number of conversations in the newspaper and social media lately, mostly with regard to B.C.’s slow down, move over law, but including changes to other traffic laws as well. The general theme has been that the government has been doing a poor job of telling the public what the new laws are and how we are supposed to follow them. Perhaps I am sensitive to road safety topics and pay more than the average attention to them but I must disagree with this. There was significant publicity of the slow down, move over law both prior to and when it was enacted. I saw it on TV, in the newspaper and heard about it on the radio. I continue to pass large signs beside the highway that tell me what to do. I’ve seen articles on television and in print publications recently. What may be closer to the truth is that we are bombarded by too much information every day. To cope with it, we ignore or do not apply full focus to all of the messages that are being given to us. As long as no damage is done to us or by us because of this, it isn’t a significant problem. However, if common sense doesn’t kick in soon enough and we receive a ticket or hurt someone it’s probably not the government’s fault here. We may wish to be careful how we complain on this subject. Possible alternatives could include mandatory testing before licence renewal with shorter licence renewal periods to make sure that we are up to date. As with any other important skill, we have a stake in keeping ourselves up to date in order to remain proficient. It’s not just a job for our government.

Candidates speak out on: Rural health care
The provincial election is on May 14. This week the Mirror asked the North Island’s three candidates: A state-of-the-art hospital is about to be built in Campbell River, but how would your party improve health care in the small, rural communities of the North Island, and is there more we can do to attract health professionals to these areas? Nick Facey Liberal The declining numbers and churn of doctors is a constant conversation on the North Island. With reduced rural jobs and working family population, doctors aren’t staying. Some are leaving for quality of family life while others for greater income. Retaining doctors in rural communities is a challenge in normal times, and only gets harder during recessions. There are rural retention programs in place, providing alternate fee arrangements to offset higher costs and lower
revenues; these were just recently revised to include an incentive for Port Hardy to provide two general practitioner doctors with a one-time payment when they commit to a three-year return of service. This special program was made available in 17 rural communities designated as being under served. Also, late last year, nurse practitioners were given expanded roles to off-load doctors, creating an opportunity to make the health care system more efficient, especially

the geographic centre of Vancouver Island, so the mobile MRI clinic is not yet serving the northern half of Vancouver Island. The need for health professions is acute right now in Port Hardy where the family practice case load and the emergency ward rotations require six general practitioners (GPs), but there are only two in town. Neighbouring Port McNeill has six GPs for a smaller population. So the need is greatest in Port Hardy. VIHA has put extra resources into a solution by retaining a professional recruiter to canvas northern rural communities in other provinces to find likely candidates. The search, unfortunately, has come up empty. A number of other things have been tried, including f inancia l incentives and recruiting foreign-trained doctors. These are all useful, but more thinking is needed. If elected I would explore further solutions. I want to know if the regional Health Network, as good as it is, provides Port Hardy with influence comparable to that provided by its preVIHA hospital board of directors. I also want to know if effective strategies are in place to train native health practitioners to the level of GPs, nurse practitioners, sole-charge physiotherapists, occupational therapists and mental health counsellors who would work on a long term basis in their small, rural communities. Claire Trevena NDP Since f irst b eing elected, I’ve been committed to getting quality health care throughout the North Island. Six years ago I started the hospital stakeholders group – of citizens, local politicians, doctors and other health care workers. We won the battle for a new Campbell River hospital, but we continue to lobby to ensure we have the services and the beds to meet our needs. The approach to the North Island’s health care needs over the last 12 years, has been one of crisis intervention rather than sensible planning. For instance, the Port Hardy emergency room has seen rotating closures because of doctor shortages; each time I raised the issue it was

Health report shows a big difference in longevity Paul Rudan Campbell RiveR miRRoR
What’s the difference between living in the Comox Valley and the Mt. Waddington Regional District. Try about six more years of life. “For two communities about three hours apart…that’s not okay,” said Dr. Charmaine Enns, medical officer of health for the North Island. What’s worse, she adds, is the average life expectancy has
decreased in Mt. Waddington by about three months. “This is unprecedented in Canada for life expectancy to decline,” she stated. Dr. Enns was speaking on new report released by the provincial health officers. The report, Health Inequities in BC, clearly shows that socioeconomic factors play a key role in longevity. The map of Vancouver Island looks like a patch-work quilt as various colours illustrate the so-called
“have and have-not” communities. Taking into account a variety of factors – such as overall health and preventable disease, education, economics, crime, and children and youth at risk – the report shows the Comox Valley generally rated in the “second best” group throughout B.C., Campbell River falls in the middle of the pack, with the rest of the North Island rated at second worst or worst. More clearly, here are the average life expec-
tancy for all three: n Comox Valley, 81.581.9 years. n Campbell River, 79.5-80.2 years. n North Island, 73.877.3 years. And it will take more than two new hospitals and other quick fixes to balance the inequities, noted Enns. “Pouring $600 million into new hospitals won’t solve the problems,” she said. The best solution, she said, is to implement a province-wide poverty reduction plan, such as
Newfoundland did. This would include developing affordable housing and universal child care. And the focus for these, she added, wouldn’t be the poorest poor, who have access to many programs, but the working poor who “fall between the cracks.” “It’s about social programs and policy,” said Dr. Enns. “This takes time, but pays off in long-term gains. When you reduce poverty, the whole population benefits.”

Question: What can be done for
Johnson and Liana Kelly. Scott was a muchloved piano teacher and founding member of the Friends of Music. After her death, her friends and family chose to honour her through a competition featuring the music of Chopin, her favourite composer. Music Week is a noncompetitive music festival featuring students of all ages playing the piano (Fiesta and Carnival), the violin and cello (Pizzicato) and singing (Cantabile). Pizzicato started on Wednesday with students in Royal Conservatory, Suzuki, and Fiddle classes. Master teacher Trish Clair Peck will work with students in a master class setting. Under the guidance of Cantabile Master Teacher, Laura Anne Bateman, voice students of all ages, including a number of adults, will perform, with their
accompanists, folk songs, classical solos, sacred music, jazz and musical theatre. Cantabile begins on today at 1:30 p.m., April 26. The evening session, which begins tonight at 6 p.m. is a highlight, with intermediate and senior students singing and acting musical theatre numbers. Fiesta participants are piano students in Royal Conser vator y Grade Three and above. They are grouped according to the type of music they play – Romantic, Baroque, Popular music etc., and their grade level. Hagen who grew up in the Comox Valley is a widely travelled and acclaimed performer known for her collaboarative performances.

crooked front teeth?
Answer: There are several ways to address
crooked front teeth, but it depends on the degree of crowding. Severe crowding is often best treated with orthodontics (braces) to straighten the teeth. Moderate to mild crowding can also be treated with Invisalign, which utilizes clear trays that are custom made and move teeth gradually and gently. This can Dr. Joseph Schafermeyer be done at your family dental office. Another way to change the appearance of teeth is with composites. These are tooth-coloured resin fillings that are bonded to repair decayed, chipped, fractured, or discoloured teeth. They can also be used to close spaces between teeth, make teeth look longer, or change the shape or colour of teeth. They usually last several years, depend on how much bonding was done and oral/biting habits. Other options include porcelain veneers and crowns. These are thin layers of porcelain that are placed and bonded to prepared teeth. They can be used in situations where one wishes to change the shape, colour, or overall appearance of his or her teeth. They are very lifelike and can last for many years with proper care. In order to find out which treatment would work best for you, please speak to your dentist, or call us for an exam or free Invisilign consultation.

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR | FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 2013 || CAMPBELL
INTO
B
efore the John Hart Dam was built, areas beside the raging Campbell River could be particularly hard hit by high tides and the rising waters of the river. In 1935 and 1939, significant flooding occurred in the Campbellton Flats after snow from a heavy snowfall melted. During the 1939 flood, waters reached the second step of the Quinsam Hotel, and an 80 foot cedar tree rushing down the river almost destroyed the Quinsam Bridge. That same year, there was a washout at the Oyster River and a barn had floated across the road, effectively blocking traffic. Even after the dam was built, Campbell River experienced torrential rains in 1968 that took out two main water lines and this time, the bridge was entirely wiped out. In recent years, Oyster Bay has experienced flooding and road closures, and the Seawalk is often covered with debris after high tides and storms. Today, to prevent flooding in Campbellton, BC Hydro diverts water from the Upper Campbell into Elk Falls so that the Campbell River does not overflow its banks. When the rainy days of winter hit us, and the anticipation of high winds and tides, flooding will always be a concern in the Campbell River area, but let’s hope we never see Campbellton under water again.
A Look Back
THE HISTORY OF THE CAMPBELL RIVER AREA
Campbellton was subject to extensive flooding as the Campbell River was victim to weather conditions whether it be a big dump of snow or high tides and torrential rains. Even after the construction of the John Hart Dam, the lowlying areas of Campbellton couldn’t escape flooding. PHOTOS COURTESY THE MUSEUM AT CAMPBELL RIVER

50,000 People left B.C. Ralph Klein giving free bus tickets to BC because anyone could get easy Welfare. A lot of MPs were investigated by the RCMP some charged ex. Bingo Scandal. Premier Glen Clark investigated as well Mel Sihota and many others in the NDP Government. Adrian Dix I can’t believe he has no shame he was fired for fraud from the NDP and now leads the party. To say he will hire 1000 more teachers to get their vote, unbelievable. The teachers are out of control as big unions are and some schools are closing due to lack of enrollment. They say we are doing this for the kids B.S. It’s to line their own pockets and pensions using the kids as ransom before exams. Claire Trevena went to S. Africa with her husband at our expense, how did this benefit Campbell River. What has she done for the North Island... NOTHING. A lot of talk no substance. Now I understand they want to stop the hospital plans because of some private funding involved as well as slow down the Hydro Project for another environmental review. I realize that the liberals aren’t much better but I will vote for them because they are the lesser of two evils. If the NDP are voted in we will become another have not Province. I belong to no political party but I am terrified that the NDP will be our next Government. Look what the NDP did to Ontario with Bob Rae at the helm then joined the liberal Party. Anytime politicians screw up they quit with no consequences. Bob Rae, Dalton MGuinty, Gordon Campbell, John Duncan, too many to list.

Behavior Changes in Senior Pets As with people, it’s not unusual for older pets to develop behavioural problems. While it’s easy to blame these behaviour changes on age alone, they can also indicate underlying medical problems. Make sure your elder pet visits their veterinarian as recommended, and that you call the veterinarian to discuss any noticeable changes in their behaviour. These can be key indicators of underlying medical issues that should be addressed.
change in your pet, since changes within the major organ systems can influence behavior in many ways. Diabetes, liver disease, kidney disease, and endocrine disorders all influence your pet’s behaviour and personality. As your pet ages, their hearing and sight are affected. Often, this influences their ability to react, sometimes causing him to become fearful. Additionally, pets, like people, can become arthritic, which causes discomfort and can lead to irritability and a change in attitude.

George Boulanger Choquette December 24, 1917- April 13, 2013 Sadly, George passed away after a short illness at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Comox. He was predeceased by his first wife, Joan and his eldest son, Rick. He is survived by his loving wife, Evelyn and his children, Wayne (Susan), Chris (Marta) and Susanne (John), also his two grandsons, Baird and Travis, his step-children and families in New Zealand and Australia. George was born in Calgary, Alberta and later moved on to the Kootenay’s in B.C. He was a geologist on numerous oil wells all through the prairies. He loved anything to do with rocks and fossils. During World War II, he served in the army in Italy and other places overseas. One of his passions was sailing: which he did both on Kootenay Lake and in the coastal waters off Vancouver Island, while sailing in New Zealand, he met his current wife, Evelyn. George also travelled extensively through Europe, the Pacific and across Canada. In later life, he moved to Point Roberts, Washington and then to Comox to be closer to family. A Celebration of George’s Life will be held at 473 Holly Place, Comox on Saturday, April 27, 2013. Friends are welcome to drop by between 2:00pm and 5:00pm. Donations can be made in memory of George to St. Joseph’s Hospital, Comox. The family would like to express their sincere appreciation to the doctors and nursing staff at St. Joseph’s Hospital.

Thomas Douglas Jamieson April 17, 2013
On Wednesday, April 17, 2013, Thomas Douglas Jamieson passed away peacefully with his daughter, Penny, holding his hand. He was 94 years of age. Tom is lovingly remembered by his daughter Penny (Roger) and grandsons, Craig and Ryan Gosselin; and his relatives and friends near and far. Tom had an incredible life. He was blessed to have his wife, Fay, bound around the world with him in his younger Air Force days. In retirement they settled in their favourite city, Vancouver. As soulmates they always believed they had the best life could offer with each other. When Fay passed away 9 years ago, Tom moved to The Berwick in Comox to be close to Penny and Roger, who loved him dearly. At The Berwick Tom met Joan Duncan who became his charming companion adding joy to his life. When you think of Tom hold dear, “the most beautiful times of our lives can never be lost, for they live in our hearts and are relived in our memories.� Please take a moment to share good memories and give a toast to a true gentleman. In accordance with Tom’s wishes there will not be a formal service. The family will have a private gathering to place Tom’s ashes with his beloved Fay. Tom’s family would like to extend appreciation and heartfelt thanks for compassionate care to Dr. Howard and the third floor nursing staff at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Comox. Tom believed that Dr. Howard was the best doctor ever. His family also wishes to thank Beth Haynes who walked beside them the final few days. In lieu of flowers a donation in Tom’s memory can be made to Alzheimer Society British Columbia, Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB), or a charity of your choice.

level with another fine goal. Lambrick Park regained the lead with approximately 15 minutes remaining but again the Lasote-Razza partnership paid off as Lasote scored her second goal of the match. The excitement was not over and Lasote completed her hat trick with a remarkable goal as she dribbled and steam-rolled through four defenders before smashing the ball into the roof of the net for a 3-2 lead with three minutes remaining. The joy was short-lived though as Lambrick Park came straight back up the field and tied the game with a welltaken drive into the corner of the net. Again, the Tyees went to a shoot out, but this time victory was to allude them. Their next game saw the Tyees face up to Fleetwood Park. This also proved to be a very close game. Fleetwood almost took the lead in the opening minute and it took a tremendous save from Craddock to keep the game scoreless with a fine save to her right. Fleetwood enjoyed most of the pressure in the first half and were a little unfortunate not to have the lead going in at the half. The Tyees got a “second wind” and the second half saw them create some superb opportunities. For the third successive game they went to shoot out. Once again Craddock came to the rescue and after the first four shooters for both teams scored, she saved the last shot to earn the Tyees their victory. Saturday morning saw the Carihi girls play Burnsview. The last time these teams met was in the AA Provincial Championship Final in 2010. It was goalless at the half but Lasote scored the game opener midway through the second. It looked like a Carihi victory was on the cards but two quick goals in the closing five minutes saw Burnsview take the win. Overall an excellent tournament for Carihi. Craddock, the Tyee keeper, took the MVP honours. The Carihi A squad currently leads the seven-team upper Island division with a perfect 5-0 record. The Tyees next game is against Brooks.

Carihi girls fare well at tough tournament The Carihi Tyees senior girls team headed to the Nike Classic at the University of Victoria this past week in great spirits after securing their fourht league win of the season against Mark Isfeld. The Tyees’ opening game saw them play the Belmont Bulldogs, one of the top AAA schools in Victoria. It proved to be an excellent game which was closely fought. Both defences played well and made it difficult for the forwards. Carihi’s back line of Jocelyn Cormier, Alana Smith, Carrie Gage and Marisa Boyle were outstanding. A breakthrough finally came late in the first half when Selena Lasote scored after a fine solo run. Belmont tied it up before the half. The Tyees’ midfield of Olivia Currie, Eilidh “Razza” Rasmussen and Anika Shelrud were working very hard and effectively to both pass the ball and create space for their team mates. This tireless work rate ensured the Tyees kept possession for much of the game. Carihi received a severe blow when Karlyn Healy went down after a poor challenge and was unable to play any further part in the tournament. Carihi took a 2-1 lead when Lasote scored again after a fine pass by Razza. Belmont refused to lay down and again equalised after a smartly taken free kick hit the post and was pounced upon by a Bulldogs striker. With no more goals the game went to a shootout which the Tyees won. Keeper Haley Craddock made some critical saves throughout the game and she made the all important save to secure the shootout win. The next day saw the Tyees take on top-ranked AA Lambrick Park of Victoria. Both teams played a high-tempo passing game and opportunities were a plenty and often met with some excellent goal keeping. Jamie Senay, Richelle Stewart and Kristine Osachuk made an invaluable contribution as they stepped off the bench to earn some valuable playing time. However, Lambrick opened the scoring, somewhat against the run of play, but once again Lasote brought Carihi

Elk Falls Crematorium and Reception Centre - Island Funeral Services
Kent and Rosemarie Roduck, Elk Falls Crematorium and Reception Centre, Island Funeral Services Kent and Rosemarie Roduck, Licensed Funeral Directors and owners of Elk Falls Crematorium and Island Funeral Services, Campbell River as well as Comox Valley Funeral Home, Cremation and Reception Centre, Courtenay, asked the question: “What if a state of the art, all-inclusive facility was created at Elk Falls Cemetery to provide Campbell River and area families with their own crematorium, that could also provide a warm, home-like environment for services, celebrations of life and family gatherings? as well, what if the beautifully landscaped exterior featured, “THE GaRDEn oF REMEMbRanCE nICHE WaLL” for urns to be placed above ground in a secure niche or for cremated remains to be placed in the “SEREnITy WaLKWay SCaTTERInG GaRDEn”? Perhaps the most outstanding feature of Elk Falls Crematorium would be that the building could also accommodate funeral services with casket burial, right on the cemetery property, with an on-site reception to follow. Since everything would be done at the cemetery, it eliminates the necessity to travel to the funeral home, then to the cemetery, then to the reception. “The concept of providing every possible combination of cremation or funeral service and any combination of final disposition of cremated remains with full service reception facilities was completed in october 2003 and response from the community has been exceptional,” Kent states. “not only is Elk Falls Campbell River’s only crematorium, but the total flexibility of this type of location on a municipal cemetery is totally unique. Campbell River
has an advantage that no other community has, north of Victoria.” “Since cremation is chosen by approximately 90% of Campbell River and area families, we pride ourselves in being cremation specialists who can provide every possible option,” comments Rosemarie. The Roducks feel that making prearrangements is something all families should consider. “Making these decisions is something we’ll all have to do at some point,” says Kent. “Doing it at a time when your thinking is clear and you can ask the questions you need to and get the straight answers you require, is a great benefit for both you and your family.” He stresses as well, all prearrangement funds are placed with Foresters Life of Canada, totally protected, transferable if necessary, but most important, it locks in the cost of your arrangements at today’s prices, regardless of when they’ll be needed. “We call it the “InFLaTIon PRooF PLan”, says Rosemarie. Unlike many funeral and crematorium providers on Vancouver Island, Elk Falls Crematorium and Island Funeral Services are locally owned and operated by Kent and Rosemarie Roduck and are Canadian owned and totally independent, free of any corporate or U.S. ownership. Kent stresses that he, Rosemarie, their licensed and experienced staff are available at any time to answer your questions or provide any information your require, always at no obligation.

Trevor and Debra have earned a valued place in the business community through their generous financial contributions to local charities. Trevor says: “We do as many things as we can for the community.

Vancouver Island InsuranceCentres Campbell River
Kathy Ferreira and team at VIIC Dogwood branch
Community Roots Few businesses in the Campbell River region have roots as deep and enduring as Vancouver Island InsuranceCentres (VIIC) – a fascinating true story that spans 140 years! VIIC’s story begins with the BC Land & Insurance Group, the longest continuously running company in provincial history. The year was 1863 and our most famous artist, Emily Carr, was not even born. In truth, BC Land was active years before Canada officially became a country in 1867. One of three area locations, VIIC Dogwood branch was originally the BC Land office. In 2003, the past merged with the present to create a bright, promising future known as Vancouver Island InsuranceCentres Inc. Kathy Ferreira, branch Manager for the Dogwood and Quadra Island branches says: “Today, we are the largest insurance brokerage on Vancouver Island with 13 offices between Victoria and Port Hardy. Through our collective experience, entrepreneurial spirit and hard work, for more than 140 years, VIIC has provided security and protection for our clients.” Insurance Specialists Vancouver Island InsuranceCentres is a company comprised of experienced specialists in the insurance industry – a community minded company offering local experience and expertise in residential and commercial insurance programs. As a company, VIIC has arranged more than 100,000 automobile, home and commercial insurance policies annually for clients on Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands. As approved ICBC Autoplan broker, each VIIC branch offers a wide array of personal and commercial insurance products – ranging from home and condo insurance to course of construction, commercial marine and farm coverage. From the new VIIC mobile website, clients have 24/7 access
to product information, online quotes and claim information – at home and away. Invested in our Future Sometimes it’s hard to put your finger on what makes a company special; not in the case of VIIC. In the past year, Vancouver Island InsuranceCentres (Dogwood and Willow Point branches) received the Campbell River Chamber of Commerce award for “excellence in workforce development.” Staff training and improvement is a constant process and all staff members are required to have a specific number of hours of education annually in order to renew their insurance licence. Management provides many options of education for staff to accomplish the hours needed to satisfy the requirement. “Education is power,” Kim Macdonald, Willow Point branch manager says. “The confidence that we see instilled in our staff after a training session is worth every effort our company has to make. Customer service improves when you have confidence in the product you’re selling and your selling technique and productivity improves. Our managers find that when staff is informed and trained on products, company strategies and future endeavors they feel that they are more of a part of the organization and that their input matters.” Invested in the Community VIIC is committed to the community and supports many worthy causes including the Campbell River Community Foundation, Cops for Cancer, Shoreline Arts Society, Rod Brind’Amour Golf Classic in support of Cystic Fibrosis and Crime Stoppers. Each year, VIIC also spearheads two corporate island wide initiatives – VIIC Anti-Bullying Pink Campaign, and Team VIIxens who Run for the Cure. Recently the Willow Point branch of the Vancouver Island InsuranceCentres (VIIC) was given a plaque celebrating 30 years of sponsorship for the local
Kim Macdonald and team at VIIC Willow Point branch
Welcome Wagon. In the grand scheme of things that may seem insignificant, but it speaks volumes about the friendliness of VIIC and its roots in the local community. We’ll Take Care of It The motto at VIIC is simple: “We’ll take care of you.” The word ‘care’ stands for commitment, accountability, respect and excellence; which represents all aspects of the company, how it does business and its commitment to its clients. VIIC has three locations in the Campbell River area to serve clients.

Our area's history is alive and well at the Museum at Campbell River The Museum at Campbell River, on the old Island Highway, is a living, breathing, hands-on journey back into the rich history of this region, a celebration of First Nations heritage and pioneer ingenuity. The museum collection comprises ethnographic, historic, archaeological and archival material of the northern Vancouver Island from Oyster River east to Desolation Sound and north to Rivers Inlet, including offshore islands; west to Gold River and north to Port Hardy. Visitors and locals alike are very impressed by the Museum.
Heritage Planner Donald Luxton says that "the Campbell River Museum is one of the most impressive museums in the province - a moving and evocative exploration of local history and heritage; a credit to the community and a must-see attraction." Local author Jocelyn Reekie commented: "I'm always being surprised by the range of information I can get here, and by the staff's knowledge and ability to put their hands on particular material. It's inspiring to know we have such great resources right here." The Museum currently has a
unique temporary exhibit on display that examines the history and culture of tree planting in British Columbia. It will be up until July 1st. In July, August and September, the Museum will be offering guided boat tours each Sunday in partnership with Discovery Marine Safaris. On these trips, passengers travel through the enchanting Discovery Islands and learn about the region’s early history. During the summer months, the Museum’s summer staff delight visitors young and old with Heritage Puppet Theatre bringing stories from the region’s past to life with colourful puppet characters. The Museum also oversees summer programming for the Haig-Brown Heritage House at 2250 Campbell River road and offers charming afternoons of Croquet and Tea. For more information go to: www. crmuseum.ca. Boat tour schedules are now available. Summer event schedules will be posted in June. Call 250-2873103 for information.

Your first visit to Associated Tire and Auto in Campbellton may be as simple as replacing that worn set of tires. Your next visit may be as simple as a coffee break and a friendly chat with owner Kermit Dahl and the family. Kermit is proud that Associated Tire and Auto has “a small town feel.” At this familyowned business customers become friends and friends become part of the extended family. Kermit and Betty, high school sweethearts in Red Deer, moved here in the mid-1980s. Kermit, a licensed mechanic, worked at the old Esso station in Campbellton and then at one of the “big box” tire stores before establishing his own tire and auto service enterprise two years ago. Son David, who has been repairing tires since he was 12, works at Kermit’s side and specializes in servicing the big commercial and fleet clients. Betty, who has a full time job at the hospital, is a multi-tasker out in the shop packing tires or sweeping floors, driving customers or picking up parts, at home cooking supper or out getting Big Macs for the boys at the shop. Her help allows Kermit and David to focus on their customers. The support includes making sure customers have a ride home when their vehicles are having a
sleep over. Betty also works up front helping administrative assistant Chris Kephart make sure things tick along smoothly. Kermit says he runs his full service business the old fashioned way. “Ninety per cent of our customers are repeat clients. We know them by name. We take the time to know what their needs are. That’s the way it used to be in town and that’s the way it will always be here.” When customers stop by tire pressure adjustments are free, tire inspections are free, brake inspections are free. And, of course, the coffee is free. While Associated Tire and Auto is 100 per cent owned by the Dahls it is also affiliated with OK Tire which supplies Kermit with quality product. He says the advantages of his independence and his affiliation with OK Tire are two-fold. “We have 100 per cent say over what we do here, how we treat our customers. I’m a hands on owner. I work on and under peoples’ vehicles. I’m not sitting in an office filling out forms for head office in another province.” As well, Kermit says: “We are proud of the quality of the products we offer such as Toyo Tires. Our relationship with OK Tire gives our knowledgeable staff – veterans like Jordan Hirschfield and Barry Dunsmore –

Dr. Janis Guthy Wavestrength Vibration Fitness, which Dr. Guthy introduced to BC in 2008, is a vibration platform that helps increase core strength, balance and flexibility while also building bone density and suppressing chronic pain. The results, she says, can be amazing. The exercise platform generates a vibration frequency while the patient stands or sits holding certain positions. This simulates the body’s natural stretch reflexes and causes muscles to involuntarily fire at approximately 2,400 to 3,000 contractions per minute. Fifteen minutes on the vibration plate allows similar strength gains to conventional physical training of one hour. Gentle, rapid contractions allow muscles to work as a pump, resulting in increased blood flow, enhanced metabolic rate, increased strength, balance and flexibility, positive effect on bone density, and suppression of chronic pain. The therapy is equivalent to jogging without the stress to the heart and joints. Vibration exercise is based on 40 years of research. The technology was originally designed to treat bone and lean muscle mass loss in cosmonauts in addition to enhancing power and strength in Russian Olympic Athletes. Just about anyone can benefit from vibration exercise. The platform has been clinically trialed in the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromuscular disorders such as Parkinson’s. “Two years ago, one patient of mine with MS was in a power chair,” she says. “She couldn’t walk and her head was hanging down. Today she drives a car and is completely independent.” In addition to holding a PhD and a Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. Guthy is a “Certified Functional Work Capacity Evaluator Advanced” with a Residency in Industrial Rehabilitation. She is also an American Board-certified Senior Disability Analyst and Diplomate. She is a Homeopathic Practitioner and a Distinguished fellow of the British Institute of Homeopathy. Recently, Dr. Guthy added the services of a Registered Massage Therapist to her practice. On your initial visit with Dr. Guthy she will collect information for a thorough case history, conduct a comprehensive Chiropractic, Orthopedic and Neurological examination and compile a complete report on her findings. Dr. Guthy and her patient will collaborate on a treatment program suitable for the patient’s optimal care. If a referral is necessary, Dr. Guthy will also provide this. Dr. Janis Guthy Do you suffer from a herniated disc, chronic or acute back pain, headaches, whiplash, knee pain, carpel tunnel syndrome? Maybe you need help changing your lifestyle through exercise and dieting. Perhaps you need an ergonomic assessment to help function better at your workplace. Dr. Janis Guthy, a Doctor of Chiropractic with more than 30 years experience, can help. And, in the process she wants to change the way you think about chiropractors. “Chiropractors treat more than just back strain,” she says. “The conditions we see range from sciatica to headaches and sprained ankles to carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, arthritis and more. We also see a wide range of patients from children to the elderly. “You don’t need a medical referral to see Dr. Guthy, nor do you necessarily need to have pain symptoms,” she adds. “My clinic has always been proactive. People come in for a spinal check-up and preventative spinal care just to make sure they’re healthy.” Identifying and correcting minor imbalances early on, she says, can often prevent serious long-term conditions, including chronic pain. “Take your feet … they’re the foundation of your body. If you’re walking improperly, it’s eventually going to affect your ankles, knees, hips, back and neck.” Custom-molded foot orthotics, which Dr. Guthy can prescribe and make for you, can help to correct
most gait problems contributing to other musculoskeletal pain. If you have an ICBC claim, you can visit Dr. Guthy without a referral to receive treatment without any out-ofpocket cost. The same applies to people with WorkSafe BC claims and RCMP or Veteran’s Affairs coverage (Blue Cross). In addition to her chiropractic work, Dr. Guthy offers two state of the art therapies not found anywhere else in Campbell River – the Exer-Rest Whole Body Acceleration Platform and Wavestrength Vibration Fitness. The Exer-Rest is a bed on which the patient reclines while it moves back and forth at a rate of 140 slides per minute. The Exer-Rest is a patented, clinically trialed non-invasive device that works to improve circulation, improve joint mobility and reduce musculoskeletal pain and support overall health. The bed stimulates the natural release of nitric oxide into the blood and helps patients feel more vibrant during the day and sleep better at night. Nitric oxide has potent anti-inflammatory properties; improves transmission of neural impulses; improves cognition, balance and learning, particularly in prior brain damage; is anti-arteriosclerosis (helping prevent hardening of the arteries); and, can limit the extent of heart and stroke damage.
Dr. Guthy uses a “hands on” approach to chiropractic care. She may use adjunctive therapy such as ultrasound, manual and non-manual adjusting techniques and exercise therapy. She always accepts new patients and often extends her office hours to accommodate patients who are from out of town and who have scheduling issues. “I never turn away a patient,” she says. “It’s both my responsibility and my privilege to provide a natural, drug-free way to better health.”

Time to wake up your composter CAMPBELL RIVER RIVER MIRROR MIRROR || FRIDAY, FRIDAY, APRIL APRIL 26, 26, 2013 2013 || CAMPBELL
Spring is here and it means more than just planting time. The Comox Strathcona waste management service (CSWM) invites residents to the Campbell River compost education centre (228 South Dogwood Street) on Saturday, April 27 from 10 -11 a.m. for a workshop that strategizes ways to activate your backyard composter after the cooler winter season. Spring represents the start of the gardening season and for many residents this means starting to prepare by selecting their plants, flowers, fruits and vegetable seeds. What is equally important to
this process is what they will grow in. Fresh compost is a nutrient-rich food for your garden and will help improve the soil structure and maintain moisture levels. Compost can be used in more applications than just your average garden; it can be applied on flowerbeds, around trees, to replenish potted plants and containers, and it can be used to feed your lawn. “As a compost educator, we get an increased volume of calls or visits by people who have questions about the condition of their compost in the spring,” said Elaine Jansen,
CSWM compost educator. “This workshop will provide an opportunity for residents to get a hands-on demonstration on preparing their compost and get tips they can follow to ensure the successful application in their garden.” The workshop will be held outdoors – rain or shine. Jansen is ready to answer all your questions and get you energized and enthused about creating a beautiful outdoor oasis with the help of compost. For more information on programs and events at the compost education centres, visit www.cswm.ca/composting.

n Use fat handled tools to avoid gripping injuries as gardening involves a lot of gripping, pulling and twisting. n Look for tools that allow you to use the big muscles of your thighs, gluts and shoulders as opposed to the small muscles of your forearm and fingers. These small muscles are quickly prone to repetitive strain injuries like tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome and more. Work as close as you can to your task, the golden rule is to be able to work with your spine neutral (ears in line with shoulders and hips), and elbows at your sides avoiding any reach. n Take breaks every 20 minutes to gently stretch, and recruit some family members to help. “If you have pain that lasts longer than 1-2 days after gardening please seek medical assessment as soon as possible,” Kessling said. “Generally, acute injuries are easier to treat than chronic injuries that have spiralled into many compensatory movements and body changes.”
