FRiDaY,APRIL apRil11, 11,2014 2014 | | CAMPBELL CampbellRIVER RiveRMIRROR miRRoR | | 33 FRIDAY,

First Nations education takes a step forward Paul Rudan Campbell RiveR miRRoR

On paper, the highly educated administrators and teachers of aboriginal students have written key words like: rationale, evidence, identity and achievement.

Important words, but they say far less in contrast to what the kids have put down on paper and created: Drawings of aboriginal spirits, memories from first grade, positive thoughts about school, along with handmade drums, paddles, masks and button blankets.

These things speak of pride in self, culture and community, and that makes the educators’ words entirely meaningful. “Children are at the centre of all we do,� says Greg Johnson, principal of aboriginal education for the Campbell River school district.

It’s Wednesday and Rotary Hall at the Maritime Heritage Centre is decorated with the children’s art and their writings. It’s on display so the educators can see the “fruits� of their efforts to continually improve opportunities for aboriginal students to succeed in the classroom and in life. “This community, though, is on the right path I believe,� says keynote speaker Ray Wilson.

Representatives from the school district and the local Aboriginal Education Advisory Council – including

Paul Rudan/The MiRRoR

Little Teddy bears proudly wear their button blankets, handmade by First Nations elementary students.

representatives from local bands – are meeting to work out details of the Fourth Aboriginal Education Enhancement Agreement. It’s significant because no other school district in the province is on its fourth agreement. “We’re very proud of that. This group works very well together,� says Michele Babchuk, chair of the board for School District 72.

Several others echoed her comments and are also proud of the fact this school district is taking a leading role in advancing education for First Nations students.

It also couldn’t be more timely.

On Thursday, the Assembly of First Nations released the document “A framework to achieve success in First Nations education� which reads in

part: “Canada and First Nations have expressed and advanced the priority of nurturing, enabling and supporting the success of all First Nation children through quality, culturally relevant education. Canada must agree that this can only be achieved through fundamental change starting with the recognition and implementation of First Nations control of First Nations education.�

That’s a national agenda, but here in B.C., the Ministry of Education is advocating a co-operative effort. The Campbell River council is leading the way, but the members aren’t content to rest on their laurels. “We have great teachers, councillors, education assistants, administrators, support workers and even

tutors that are available for First Nations students,� says Wilson. “All of these resources aren’t even being used to their full potential.

We need to start raising our expectations for our children!�

Wilson should know.

He’s a member of the Lekwiltok Nation, grew up on the Cape Mudge reserve on Quadra Island, went to school in

Campbell River, starred on the B.C. champion Carihi basketball team, and then returned to Carihi as a teacher.

He acknowledges the success of the aboriginal enhancement agreements, but says more needs to be done. “Far too many times I still see our kids lost and wandering the halls, with no connection to school or culture. I want our kids to not only come to school, but to be excited to be in school,� he says.

Since the enhancement agreements began, there have been significant improvements in literacy and numeracy skills for aboriginal students in Kindergarten to Grade 12. Just as important, says Wilson, First Nations students and their parents are embracing their heritage and traditions. “We need to get away from the notion that aboriginal students must leave their culture at the door and adopt Western approaches to education and curriculum to succeed,� he says.

Ferries: Residents outline impact of route cuts

www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com

Continued from Pg. 1

April 28.

Ryan said the decision wasn’t an easy one but his hand was forced during a meeting March 21 between the Ferry Advisory Committee, BC Ferries, and a handful of Quadra community members. He said originally it was a choice between cutting the late sailing or a BC Ferries alternative of cutting a mid-day sailing.

“What we came up with I think is probably as good as we can expect given the set of circumstances that we had to work under and I know it’s not going to please everyone and I know it’s going to be a real pain for a lot of people,” Ryan said. “We will be watching very closely.

If it’s going to be a serious issue we can change some sailings around but we can’t add a run.”

Ryan said during the March 21 meeting, BC Ferries admitted runs would be cut – even if the mandated $185,000 in annual savings on the Campbell River/Quadra route could be found by other means.

“They told us that the province is mandated that they will cut nine runs a week, no matter how much money is involved,” Ryan said.

At that point, Abram stepped in.

“The way they actually put it is, ‘this is not about saving money this is about cutting runs,’ that was their exact comment,” said Abram, which prompted shocked

2x6 VIU

gasps from the crowd gathered at the Quadra community centre.

Forced with making a decision on an altered ferry schedule, what Ryan and his group came up with is a schedule that sees sailings during the first half of the day run five minutes earlier.

Sailings in the afternoon leave 10-15 minutes later, depending on the time.

The last run of the day will leave Campbell River at 9:55 p.m. on weekdays, instead of 10:30 p.m., and the last boat to leave Quadra will run at 9:25 p.m. The last sailing leaving Campbell River on Saturdays and Sundays will be at 10:55 p.m. and 10:25 p.m. leaving Quadra Island.

Amber Kinsey, president of Quadra Island

Elementary’s PAC, said the new schedule will have a serious impact on the livelihood of islanders, particularly children.

“Our island is dying a slow death by ferry,” Kinsey said. “So many people here leave because they can’t do it anymore.

I can see the trickledown effect.”

Kinsey said the most glaring problem with the new schedule is changing the 3:30 p.m. run leaving Campbell River to 3:40 p.m., which is the sailing that brings the high school kids back to Quadra.

“It’s only a 10 minute difference but because we’re dealing with money, the school board will not pay for the 10 minute gap that that creates for our bus drivers.

What that means now, is that the elementary school can’t let out at 2:30 because the buses can’t be there at 2:30 to meet them because normally the bus meets them at 2:30, they get dropped off everywhere and (the bus goes) straight to the ferry and picks up all the kids off the 3:30 ferry,” Kinsey said. “So now our administration has been told by the school board we can’t send the buses at 2:30, we’ll send them at 2:40.”

Which means the day will be expanded by 10 minutes for the elementary school students, Kinsey added. She also shared a friend’s experience with taking her son to Campbell River for karate. Normally she would catch the 5:50 p.m.

ferry to Campbell River for a 6:15 p.m. karate class and take the 7:35 p.m. ferry home. With the schedule changes, she’ll be forced to catch the 5:15 p.m. ferry, leaving little time for dinner, and take the 7:55 p.m. ferry home – all for a one hour karate lesson.

“It’s little things like that, that in the grand scheme of things, in a parent’s world it makes something that was tough not sustainable,” Kinsey said. “So, ripple effects.”

Ryan said he would look at possibly adjusting the schedule to avoid the 10-minute gap for the schools but would first have to consult the Cortes Island ferry schedule to avoid conflicts.

“Let me work on that,”

Ryan told Kinsey. “That’s ridiculous if the school board won’t cover 10 minutes.”

Before the meeting wrapped up, Abram encouraged as many islanders as possible to make the trip to Qualicum for a ferry demonstration Saturday afternoon outside of the Association of Vancouver Island Coastal Communities convention being held there this weekend.

Abram said the goal of the rally is to garner support from all local governments to convince the province that BC Ferries should be brought back under the transportation ministry.

Llama euthanized, dogs put down too Paul Rudan Campbell RiveR miRRoR

The lone llama of Tahsis is dead.

The male llama, affectionately known as Gerome, was euthanized after being attacked by a neighbour’s dogs which are also expected to be put down.

“We have received confirmation from the RCMP that the injured llama was euthanized in a humane manner,” said Lorie Chortyk, speaking on behalf of the B.C. SPCA. “It is our understanding that the two dogs responsible for the injuries are being surrendered by their owners for humane euthanasia as well.”

The eight-year-old llama was attacked by two pit bulls Sunday night and suffered a lacerated lower lip and damage to its left eye.

Owner Corrine Dahling, a former village mayor, said there was little they could do and is disappointed it took so long for her pet to be euthanized.

“It took more than 24 hours to get assistance,”

she said Wednesday during a phone interview.

“This is not the first time dogs have done something like this here.”

According Dahling, local hunters weren’t going to euthanize the animal for fear of losing their hunting licences and guns, or being ticketed for discharging a firearm within village limits.

The RCMP wasn’t a b out t o d i s p at c h Gerome either, said Dahling, until she contacted the B.C. SPCA and they officially requested assistance from Mounties.

Dahling’s glad the dogs are gone, but she said the larger issue is people who let their dogs run unleashed in the remote

West Coast community.

“I don’t want to make this a pit bull issue,” she said. “It’s not just pit bulls…it’s any dog. They get together and they’re a pack!”

Resident Jo-Anne Rottacker echoed the same view: “There are far too many dogs that just run loose in this town,” she wrote, commenting on Wednesday’s story about the attack. “There is not one day of the week that I do not see at least five dogs just wandering around without their masters. If the dogs start packing, which is very possible, it will also put small children at risk.

Pet owners really need to step it up a notch.”

The loss of Gerome has been difficult, said Dahling, who watched its birth. She used to have three llamas, but the other two died over the past few years and Gerome was the last.

“Llamas have a different type of disposition – they’re like little people,” she said. “Gerome was definitely part of this community. All the kids from the daycare came to learn about llamas… and the community gardeners wanted his dung.

They made sure he was well-fed and well-cared for because he produced daily…and during the summers, tourists stopped by to see him… this is a loss to the community.”

The community of Tahsis lost a friend when Gerome the llama had to be euthanized due to injuries it received after being attacked by dogs.

Our View

Marois went off message like Dix Normally, elections in other provinces are of little interest to B.C. residents. But the Parti Quebecois mused about separatism and campaigned openly on a Charter of Quebec Values that was one of the most discriminatory documents in recent We say: The PQ Canadian history.

Pauline Marois borrowed a page from had its “Kinder Adrian Dix’s unsuccessful campaign Morgan” moment in B.C. a year ago. She went off script part way through the campaign, too bringing up separatism after her star candidate Pierre-Karl Peladeau proclaimed the need for independence.

It was her “Kinder Morgan” moment, damage she could not repair. Even though some of those who voted against her support separatism, very few want a referendum any time soon.

Her lack of focus on jobs and the economy was also a crucial error. Quebec has one of the weakest economies in the country and a poor job creation record. Any talk of separatism causes investors to give it the cold shoulder.

Marois seemed unperturbed by all this.

The charter would not pass muster when challenged in court, so in the last week of the campaign, Marois stated she would use the notwithstanding clause to ensure it took effect. While some undoubtedly cheered, that was

another reminder to many voters just how off course the PQ was.

New premier Philippe Couillard has stated Canada is a great country to be part of. At the same time, he plans to vigorously defend the French language. However, he extended an olive branch to other Quebecers in his victory speech, which is a good omen.

Couillard has promised to tackle some of the province’s economic issues Meanwhile, the PQ is now leaderless, with Marois having resigned on Monday night. Perhaps its days are numbered.

Online Voices l “Shocking case of abandonment” – April 8 Joy Lovelace · University of British Columbia Laws have to change so people of this nature know there will be consequences. If the law changed to a jail sentence for intentional animal cruelty, maybe this would have not taken place. So many people have so many problems that they feel they are justified in making ONE problem go away..it is often the pets that they once wanted or the children they once wanted that suffer. Until we as a united group stand up and speak loudly that this is no longer tolerated, it will continue!! We all want to make a difference in preventing these sickening acts, unfortunately our lives are consumed with so much...people just need to know how to make justice happen to help save the lives of our pets and for that matter our future...the children!! l “Tahsis to lose lone police officer” – April 8 Jo-Anne Rottacker I am very disappointed in the decision to do this, although I have not had to call RCMP for the pub I run I have had to for other reasons. It horrifies me as the operator of a local business to know if an emergency were to arise here that the RCMP are an hour away. ANYTHING could happen in that time and then some. If a life threatening occurrence were to happen it would end most likely in fatality. The other things that worry me are the crime rate going through the roof here and or people taking the law into their own hands as a result.. I can not count the times already that I have heard reference to people saying, Oh don’t worry about it the RCMP isn’t in town today... I really urge and hope they will reconsider this decision.

British Columbia’s digital wave is just beginning

Tom Fletcher B.C. Views

Have you got one of the new B.C. driver’s licences yet?

By now most drivers have the one with the unsmiling black and white mug shot, to conform to passport standards so it could be used for border identification with the magnetic swipe strip on the back.

About one million of us now have the newest version, with a credit-card style digital chip that proves your residence and eligibility for our famously “free” medical care.

The motor vehicle office started issuing them about a year ago, as five-year licences expire. They replace the old “CareCard” that has no expiry date. Over the years there were more than nine million CareCards issued, twice the population of B.C., as people held onto their

access to our defenseless, overworked medical system from wherever they moved to.

Positive identification is only the start for this card. Each will be assigned a password that gives access to online medical records, so when patients show up at an ER, their eligibility is confirmed and any previous conditions or medications are accurately matched. (Note that medical information is not stored on the card, just an access code that goes with the password.)

Patients will be able to call up their own files at home, book medical appointments and even renew prescriptions, which is where the efficiency comes in.

In-person visits for routine prescription renewals are a cash cow for today’s doctors, generating guaranteed billings but

often little or no health benefit.

Most people will still think of it as a driver’s licence, but it’s intended as an all-purpose government ID. If you don’t drive, you are spared the $75 licence renewal fee, and within a couple of years the cards will start providing online access to a wide range of government services.

Andrew Wilkinson, minister of technology, innovation and citizens’ services, says a public consultation has shown most people are comfortable using a system they already trust for their banking.

By the end of 2015, Wilkinson says about two million people will have the new cards, roughly half of B.C.’s population. Application forms converted to online access will include student loans, birth, death and marriage certificates,

voter registration and even criminal record checks.

All this will be costly to set up, but the savings from having customers do their own data entry are well known, as any banker or supermarket owner can tell you.

“You can understand that if you’re in the vital statistics office and this can all be done from places like Telegraph Creek and Horsefly remotely, that actually saves them a lot of money,” Wilkinson said. “There will be conversion of existing services where you have to go into an office and wait around and fill out forms. Those will be converted to online services.”

It also means a decline in the number of government office jobs, and the

y five month “sabbatical” is over and it’s a great feeling to be back scratching out the garden column.

It’s five years since I submitted my first column for approval to the editor, Alistair Taylor.

The interest in small space gardening was to be the focus, whether it was bowl on the window sill or a pot on the deck.

There was a host of readers out there spanning several generations who had no experience

Fortunately, my editor was adept at reading the interesting shifts in community development and he supported the idea of a column based on small space veggie production for emerging gardeners.

This column was only a small cog in the simultaneous changing attitude and interest in the process of growing one’s own food. What a revelation! North Island College was on a parallel track and has since produced a constant stream

of classes, film nights, and hands-on experience with raising food for its students and the public. Two community gardens are thriving and there are more under consideration. Residents flock to the classes held at the Community Garden Centre beside St. Peter’s Church. Watch the Mirror this month for the unveiling of Campbell River’s Online Food Map!

Some older readers won’t be thrilled to hear about this. They don’t want a “smart phone,” just a phone.

But they will also see their great-grandchildren becoming adept with tablet computers before they can even speak. Seniors will get the hang of it pretty quickly, and their lives will become easier.

Cortes Islanders ‘disgusted’ by credit union closure KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

People are “disgusted”

by Coastal Community Credit Union’s decision to close the only bank on Cortes Island, according to Cortes director Noba Anderson.

Anderson herself is not happy with the credit union and wrote a joint letter with the mayor of Alert Bay and the regional director for Sointula to protest the closure of all three of the communities’ branches.

Anderson particularly took exception to the fact the community was never approached or notified of the impending decision.

“This was done with absolutely no consultation with the communities,” Anderson told the Strathcona Regional District board April 9.

“There’s substantial concern from the business community as well

as individuals.”

C o ast a l C ommunity Credit Union announced it will be closing its branches and ATMs in Alert Bay, Sointula and Cortes Island on July 5.

The hours of operation at its Quadra Island branch will also be reduced.

In their letter to the credit union, Anderson, Alert Bay Mayor Michael Berry, and Sointula regional director Heidi Soltau, said the credit union’s actions go against its vision statement and values.

“Your decision to withdraw all services does not build healthier communities, and shows a stunning lack of co-operation, innovation and responsiveness to the community and your members,” wrote the trio.

“It reeks of poor practice that this decision was made and announced immediately

after the close of your annual board election, leaving the new board to deal with the aftermath of this decision.”

Anderson said the worst part is the missed opportunities.

“The real kicker, in my personal opinion, is if Coastal Community Credit Union knew this was coming and was at liberty to share this, it would have been a phenomenal library,” said Anderson, referring to Vancouver Island Reg iona l L ibrar y’s search for a new venue to re-locate its Cortes Island library branch.

“It’s right next to the community centre. People are just disgusted.”

Anderson, Berry and Soltau are now left picking up the pieces in their communities and are trying to work out some viable alternatives.

But they want financial information from the credit union to help them understand the

4x8

situation.

“If we are going to be left without any of your services, we will need to find other options,” reads the letter.

“At the very least, the numbers you provide could help with our future financial searches” The communities are also want copies of the minutes of the board meeting at which the decision to close the branches was made – or at the very least a detailed summary of the decision – as well as financial statements from the past three years for each branch; the operating costs for the three branches; the shortfalls; the factors that contributed to the shortfalls; and the alternatives that were examined.

Anderson, Berry and Soltau also want a commitment from Coastal Community Credit Union to engage their

communities with any decisions related to future use, lease or sale of the buildings and land which the credit union owns.

“These spaces have served our communities longer than you have and it is in our interest that they continue to do so,” reads their letter. “Each of our communities had local built credit unions that you took over. You inherited land, buildings, customers, and assets. You also inherited communities – communities that you

have now dropped.”

Adrian Legin, president and CEO of Coastal Community Credit Union, said while the decision to close the branches was a difficult one, it was also necessary.

“I’m confident the actions we’re taking are the right ones and in the best long-term interest of our 110,000 members and clients, and our organization as a whole,” Legin said.

“Despite considerable efforts in the last several years, these specific

branches have not been financially viable. We determined that the level of subsidization being provided is not justifiable over the long term.”

Anderson said the communities understand these are difficult financial times but that some degree of continued service is expected.

Anderson said she, B err y, and S oltau expect to speak with the Coastal Community Credit Union board chair and senior staff in Parksville this Saturday.

Water deal appears close Area D Director Brenda Leigh said the huge jump in rates was not acceptable and the regional district hired a mediator to try and come up with a reasonable rate.

City Manager Andy Laidlaw said the regional district’s latest offer is an attempt at a compromise.

“The regional board indicated they are prepared to go part way here,” Laidlaw said. “These rates were passed and now they need to go back to council and council needs to decide whether to accept it or not.”

Laidlaw said that discussion will take place in-camera, following Tuesday’s council meeting.

He added that mediator George Abbott, the former education minister for the BC Liberals, has met with the city once during the water rate dispute and Laidlaw has been in discussions with regional district CAO Russ Hotsenpiller.

“We’ve come a long way in this, whether we’ve reached a decision now is up to council to decide whether to accept the offer from the Strathcona Regional District,” Laidlaw said.

A good deal

Campbell River Hyundai dealer principal Scott Kilby (centre) presented a $1,300 donation to the Campbell River Hospital Foundation executive director Stacey Marsh (left) and chairperson Kent Moeller.

The dispute between the Strathcona Regional District and the City of Campbell River over water rates may be nearing a resolution.

The regional district has provided the city with an offer and now it’s up to city council to accept it or not.

The regional district voted in-camera – a meeting closed to the public and media – to pay the city $.63 per cubic metre for bulk water to Area A retroactive to 2013 and $.72 per cubic metre for 2014, which is the rate city residents pay plus another 50 per cent.

That offer, however, is less than what the city informed the regional district that its rate would be once its water supply agreement with Area D expired in May 2012.

Area D was paying $.40 per cubic metre but the city increased its rate to $.80 per cubic metre as of Jan. 1, 2013 – which translates to two times the rate water users living within the city boundary pay.

Pinning cancer support on fellow Campbell Riverites

M

Volunteer Pat Corville was out in the rain on Saturday selling pins and daffodils to raise money for cancer research.

any volunteers braved the weather and were out and about in Campbell River on Saturday with their trays of daffodils and pins.

Joining them on that windy wet day was acting mayor Larry Samson who gave a short talk and proclaimed April as Cancer Awareness Month in Campbell River. Also joining in and helping the Canadian Cancer Society were chemo nurses from the hospital, Faith Brooks and Tammy Pentney. They walked around Tyee Plaza in that horrible rain storm helping us get donations to help the society.

Ladies from the Eagles were also out helping.

Over 78 per cent of donor dollars go towards research and support programs.

Pentney spoke on how helpful the support can be, such as the financial aid and the rides that can make the difference of whether or not the treatments such as chemotherapy are do-able for the patient.

She also spoke on how she loves going to work and finds her job so rewarding as the patients tend to support each other. The chemo room is a happy place and they all work through it together.

This past year on the Island more than 1,200 clients stayed at the lodge in Victoria. Volunteer drivers gave more than 946 rides to and from cancer treatments, 1,049 clients accessed or toll free information service at 1-888-939-3333

There are size restrictions for a secondary suite.

• Secondary suites can be no larger than 90 square meters (approximately 970 square feet) • Secondary suites can be no larger than 40% of the main house • Secondary suites can have a maximum of two bedrooms Do you have enough room for required parking spaces?

In addition to the two spaces required for the main house, one more parking space must be provided for a secondary suite.

Are you in the correct zone for a secondary suite?

Only certain zones in the City permit secondary suites. If your property is not located in a zone that permits secondary suites, you will need approval from the City to change it.

Do you have a building permit?

Apply at the City for a building permit to ensure that a secondary suite is constructed to meet health and safety requirements of the BC Building Code.

Does your site require a development permit due to steep slopes, streams or eagle trees?

Check the City’s Official Community Plan on the website, or visit us at City Hall to find out.

If a secondary suite was constructed without a permit, now what?

To make an existing secondary suite legal, the property must be zoned appropriately and a building permit issued. The zone makes the secondary suite a permitted use, and the building permit ensures the suite meets the minimum safety standards for secondary suites as required by the 2012 BC Building Code.

Protect your interests: Not having a building permit, or correct zoning for a secondary suite may have unexpected implications for home insurance.

Hang violence against women out to dry

E

very woman living in Campbell River has the right to live without violence.

British Columbia’s annual Prevention of Violence against Women Week is a time for the women and men of Campbell River to step forward to change the social attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors that allow violence to continue.

On Tuesday April 15 from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.,everyone is invited to come down to the Spirit Square, downtown Campbell River, to view, The Clothesline Project.

The clothesline project is a powerful display of T-shirts that have been personally done by people affected by abuse. The message may be a statement against any kind of violence or a statement of hope for the future. Again this year the white sheet with “These Hands Don’t Hurt” on it for non-abusive males to trace their hands on in support of this cause will be there.

Every day, women in this community are assaulted, abused, intimidated, harassed and stalked – often by someone they know.

The message of Violence Against Women Week is that living violence free is not a privilege, it is every women’s right.

Prevention of Violence Against Women Week presents us all the opportunity to do our part to help build a violence-free future for all people of Campbell River affected by violence. It is critical that women who are experiencing violence in Campbell River know they can get personal, confidential help at the services listed here: n Anne Elmore Transition House – 2863666. n Community Based Victim Services –2872421. n Campbell River Women’s Centre – 2873044. n Stopping The Violence Outreach Program –286-3430.

Get your hands on traditional cedar bark weaving

C

edar bark harvesting is an a n c i e nt a n d resp ec ted tradition amongst the first peoples of this area.

Archaeologists working on the coast have recovered artifacts made from cedar bark that are more than 3,000 years old. Clothing, mats, sails, canoe bailers, baskets, and rope were all made from cedar bark.

The Museum at Campbell River is offering a rare opportunity to experience a cedar pull and to learn basic cedar weaving with renowned artist and Hereditary Chief Wayne Bell.

On Saturday, April 26, participants will meet at the museum at 9 a.m. to travel to a forest site and participate in a two-hour traditional cedar pull.

Following the pull, participants will return to the museum to learn the basics of cedar weaving using the inner bark from the pull. Bell will demonstrate basic approaches to cedar weaving, using as examples roses, rings, bracelets, rope, coasters and simple baskets. This hands-on workshop will be held at the Museum from 2-4 p.m.

Bell’s Eagle Cedar Bark Mask resides in the Senate in Ottawa, Ontario.

He is from the Mamilikwilla Nation and is grandson to the late Outzistallis, Henry Jumbo

Bell, great nephew to Mungo Martin, grandson to Kimkimkwadee, grandson to Abumpa Catherine Ferry (nee Glendale), and Mrs. Henry Jumbo Bell Adakwanees. Wayne is also nephew to the late Sam Henderson and May Henderson (nee Quocksister).

Permission to teach and harvest the cedar bark is given by Captain George Quocksister (Kwinkwolith) who was married to the Late Elizabeth Quocksister (nee Glendale).

Bell began weaving at the age of five with Henry Jumbo Bell. He then moved to Vancouver and began weaving again with his grandmother Katy Ferry and her brother the late Sam Henderson.

Bell has been teaching cedar bark weaving for 30 years in Vancouver School District and Campbell River School District. Bell has been a single parent for 11 years and his daughter Norine is following her father’s footsteps.

The cost for the day is $80 per person. Participants must come prepared with a lunch and wear clothing and footwear suitable for wet forest conditions. A hatchet is also recommended.

Space is limited. Call the Museum at 287-3103 to register.

Kolbie leads charge for Great Strides

From left, Sheila Gerymn, community relations, Kolbie Rosse, Kim (Black) Wood holding Blake Rosse, Boston Pizza owner - Chris Seeley, Jordyn Rosse and Mom Lindsay Rosse are all smiles about Boston Pizza’s donation of gift cards as team prizes for the Great Strides Walk.

Cystic Fibrosis Canada is making strides, because others take strides.

This year across Canada friends, family and the public will lace up their sneakers to participate in Great Strides Walk, and strive to reach the $3.3 million goal.

Since 2005, more than $18.5 million, raised through Great Strides has been invested in life-saving cystic fibrosis research , clinical care and advocacy. It helps Canadians with cystic fibrosis live longer, healthier lives.

Here in Campbell

River, five-year-old Kolbie Rosse is already telling her mom, Lindsay that she wants to start collecting pledges for Great Strides. Kolbie, along with her younger sisters Jordan and Blake, is forming her own team this year, “Kolbie’s Klan.”

Last year Kolbie raised over $500 for Great Strides. Kolbie is hoping lots of other people will register as a team or as individuals for the walk. She wants to help her family’s friend Kim Wood(Black) who has cystic fibrosis.

Jo-Ann Wallis, president of the Cystic Fibro-

sis Canada, Campbell River Chapter said, “I’m thrilled that Boston Pizza has jumped on board with a ‘team prize.’ Chris Seeley, manager has offered up 10 - $25 Boston Pizza gift cards for the winning team. What a great gift and awesome incentive for teams to get registered.”

Register for the Great Strides Walk as an individual or as a member of a team at www.cysticfibrosis.ca/greatstrides.

The event will begin at 10:30 a.m. at Penfield School, Sunday, May 25. The 3 km walk will begin at 11 a.m. and is

followed by a barbecue thanks to Dairy Queen and the Campbell River Kin Club.

Cystic Fibrosis Canada is one of the world’s top three charitable organizations committed to finding a cure for cystic fibrosis. Since 1960, donors have enabled Cystic Fibrosis Canada to invest more than $150 million in innovative cystic fibrosis research and care.

Help Kolbie help Kim by registering your team in the GreatStrides walk.

To be eligible for the team prize, register by the end of April

INTERNATIONAL GLOBAL YOUTH SERVICE DAY

Youth Action Committee

by Greta Hamilton “Until the Youth Action Committee (YAC) was established a few years back, the youth voice of our town was nearly nonexistent. Now, t h r o u g h YAC, youth are heard. It gives kids a chance to become a part of change.” says Claire billings, chair of YAC this year.

The youth action committee is run through the city of Campbell River by Amber Zirnhelt, sustainability manager, and Kevin Elmore, recreation programmer.

The committee offers youth participation in city plans, development of youth-based projects, and environmental cause – all local. There are currently around 15 members, which means fifteen voices directly heard by city council and the mayor.

On the impact it has on its participants Amber, says,

“it’s a great opportunity to learn about how municipal government works and get involved in the community and to have a positive impact in the community.”

The comm i t t e e right now has a number of projects it’s working on, including a youth centre, a youth charter, youth engagement strategies, the Campbelton Neighbourhood Association, and a transit promotional video.

INTERNATIONAL GLOBAL YOUTH SERVICE DAY

Girl Guides Girl Guides of Canada-Guides du Canada is an organization built on the dedication and skills of volunteers.

The mandate is to make a positive difference in the life of every girl and woman who experiences Guiding so she can contribute responsibly to her community. Our organization enables girls to be confident, resourceful and courageous, and to make a difference in the world. In Campbell River, the women involved in this organization develop leadership skills as they work with the girls to provide dynamic programs to empower both the girls and themselves with the skills and abilities to face chal-

lenges with confidence. For girls (ages 5 to 18), Guiding is an accepting environment with diverse and exciting programs and activities that offer the chance to discover new interests, learn valuable leadership skills and make lasting friendships. Guiding gives girls the tools and resources they need to achieve greatness.

All levels of Guiding in Campbell River and Gold River are actively involved in doing service projects for the community. Obviously as the girls get older they become more involved but even our Sparks (ages 5 and 6) participate in service activities from preparing crafts for Meals on

Hannah Taylor and Alex Mason Wheels, donating to the Food Bank and Transition House, and participating in beach cleanups.

The 1st Campbell River Brownies (ages 7 and 8) are actively involved in providing service in the communi-

St. John Ambulance Cadets The Campbell River St. John Ambulance Cadet Brigade is a group of male and female youths who are learning to become the lifesavers of tomorrow.

These Cadets are learning the latest and most up-to-date techniques in life saving and applying those techniques in the community. Alongside the Adult Division, the Campbell River Cadets attend local public events and provide first aid coverage.

They have been present at many local events, such as the Elementary Schools Track Meet, Canada Day celebrations, SalmonFest and Loggers Sports. The Cadets of St. John also train to compete in multiple first aid competitions every year, including the upcoming 25th Annual Campbell River St. John

ty. They have been involved in local projects such as donating to the Campbell River Food Bank; participating in the Shoebox Project (putting together shoeboxes for women in shelters); helping sponsor a family at Christmas; making Valentines for the Valentines for Vets project; donating to Transition House and participating in projects to help Habitat for Humanity.

Hannah Taylor is a member of the 1st Campbell River Rangers (ages 15 to 18), and she is also actively involved in providing service to our community. Hannah is also involved in Campbell River Special Olympics and the Young Women’s program at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Hannah has provided service by helping at the Campbell River Food Bank; collecting books for the SPCA sale; raising funds for the Canadian World Friend-

ship Fund (CWFF); raising funds for World Vision; tree planting at Baikie Island; helping with Sparks and Brownies; making cookies for the Soup Kitchen; visiting Evergreen Seniors Centre; assisting with the beach cleanup, and raising awareness for epilepsy by promoting Purple Day. The service Hannah has provided has

helped her achieve her Canada Cord, Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award and Bronze Chief Commissioner’s Award.

Scouts is Canada’s leading youth organization for more than 100 years, Scouts have brought a world of adventure, outdoor experience and friendship to 17 million Canadian youth.

Scouts have a lot of fun discovering new things and experiences they wouldn’t have elsewhere. Along the way they develop into capable, confident and well-rounded individuals, better prepared for success in the world.

Scouting offers a world where youths can discover the best in themselves and the best in others. Scout programs run all year round and offer adventures that youth will remember for a lifetime!

Local Campbell River area Scouts have been involved in various community projects in the past 12 months. 1st Willow Point Beavers, Cubs and Venture

bridge the gap between Scout adult leaders and youth participants. They assist in running games, organizing crafts, helping youth feel comfortable, planning meetings and assisting with running sleepovers and camps. These youth leaders give feedback on how the program is being received by younger children. These teens each devote a number of hours each week to the weekly program plus the sleepovers and camps that are held each month.

Our youth volunteers are an integral part of our programs, and we would like to thank them for their time and dedication – without our youth volunteers, we would not be able to participate in many of the projects in the community!

Thank you to all of the Campbell River area Scouts for their time, effort and dedication to helping their community.

Staying close to their mother, the ducklings will often “hitch” a ride on the mothers back when they tire or feel threatened.

Young ducklings fall prey to eagles, ravens, crows and small mammals, but their biggest threat is loss of habitat which in their case is very specific.

Ruggers showcase their skills Campbell River Athletic Association’s Mini Rugby Players (U8U12) had an excellent all-island Jamboree at Shawnigan Lake School on Sunday.

“This is the biggest mini rugby event of the year and to have Campbell River well represented in all age divisions makes our club very proud,” says club president Erin Young.

“We have so many talented players and it is a great venue to showcase our skills.”

The club will host the Cowichan Piggies and the Comox Kickers in the final mini Jamboree of the season this Sunday at Willow Point Park starting at 10:30 a.m. Interested families are encouraged to check out the action and ask questions about the sport. This particular age group wraps up the 2013/14 season after but the club may run dropin touch rugby over the late spring to early summer to keep skills and fitness sharp and to introduce the sport to new players as the fall season kicks off in late August.

“Rugby is excellent for promoting all-around fitness, gender equality,

meeting new friends, and displaying respect in sport. It is one of the most affordable local sports and the opportunities to develop local

talent can potentially lead a Campbell River athlete all the way to the Olympics, as Rugby 7s will be introduced in 2016 in Rio,” says

Young.

Born in rural Eastern Ontario, Rick “Caindawg” Adams heard his first country blues circa 1969 via the powerful FM station CHOM, Montreal.

The classic Blue Thumb label album Memphis Swamp Jam and especially the haunting sound of then 100-yearold Nathan Beauregard doing Nathan’s Bumblebee Blues was a favourite with late night DJ’s. The soul-etching had begun.

You can hear that soulful sound at the Royal Coachman’s Sunday Jazz this Sunday.

In the early 1970’s, Adams moved to Ottawa and now revelled in constant jam sessions and his growing record collection.

Influences from Johnny Winter, classic blues artists Furry Lewis, Bukka White and Fred McDowell, bluegrass wizards Tony Rice and Doc Watson and especially his adopted mentor John Paul Hammond, Jr. were added to the stew.

He bought his first good guitar, a Gibson Southern Jumbo.

Lorna Mary Gibson March 22, 2014 Lorna passed away peacefully on March 22, 2014, in Yucalta Lodge. She was predeceased by her husband, John. She will be sadly missed by her daughter, Julia Van der Zee (Kelly); sons, Simon Gibson (Joy) and Victor (Nati); grandchildren, Matthew, Andrew, Shari-Anne (Jeremy) and Alisa, and two greatgrandchildren, Samuel and Lars.

Lorna was born in Malaysia in 1923 and moved with her family to England when she was a young girl. Following high school, she attended the Slade Art School in London. In 1942, when Lorna was just 19, she was selected as one of the first eight WRENS (Women's Royal Navy Services) to be chosen to work at Bletchley Park on the early computer "Colossos," the headquarters for decryption of the German code in World War 2. This high level intelligence produced at Bletchley provided crucial assistance to the Allied war effort. Lorna was recently recognized for this demanding work with a presentation of a medal by the British government.

Lorna was a talented artist. She sketched, painted and carved in England and Canada. She taught Life Drawing at North Island College and also gave art classes at her studio in her Campbell River residence. Lorna was a passionate gardener and Rhododendron grower.

The family wishes to thank Dr. Sutherland, the staff at Campbell River Hospital and Yucalta Lodge and all the home care staff, for their understanding and care. A Celebration of Life Open House will be held on May 10, 2014 from 1:00 - 4:00pm at Lorna's residence, 687 Erickson Road, Campbell River, BC. For more information, please call Julia at 250-830-4817.

No words could ever say, How much we miss you Everyday.

Love you forever, Sandra, Glenda, Jody and families.

MORGOTCH, Stan

August 25, 1922 – March 31, 2014 Stan Morgotch passed away peacefully on March 31, 2014 at the age of 91. He is survived by his daughter Deborah (Michael), grandchildren Tessa and Stefan, and many devoted nieces and nephews. Stanley was predeceased by his brothers William and Peter, and his wife Violet in 2011.

Stan was born in Hyas, Saskatchewan on August 25, 1922. He grew up on a farm the youngest of three brothers, and married Violet Holm on October 27, 1945. They moved to Campbell River in 1955 where Stan first worked on the construction of Ladore Dam, and the blasting of Ripple Rock. He then worked at the Crown Zellerbach Mill from 1956 to 1987. Stanley and Violet were happily married for 67 years.

Many thanks to the staff and volunteers at New Horizons, (notable mention to York the Dog) who all made Stan’s last years a period of growth rather than decline. Special thanks to Dr. Jon Walker who gave him exceptional care for many years.

Stan will be dearly missed by all, but we know that he is happy to be with Violet once again.

At the family’s request, there will be no public service and flowers are gratefully declined.

For those who love, time is not.

Missing you today and always.

Nissan substantially revamped the Altima, its popular family sedan, for the 2010 model year.

In addition to external front and rear styling changes, its roomy interior got a once-over in a refurbish that also included two important new standard active safety features, electronic stability and traction control systems.

The base engine in a 2010 Altima sedan or coupe is a robust 2.5-litre four cylinder and a 3.5-litre V6 was an option. A six-speed manual transmission was available with the four-cylinder and the continuously variable

‘‘

’’

transmission option was standard with the V6 engine.

The fuel-frugal 2.5 litre four-cylinder (175

horsepower) can get 8.9 L/100km in the city and 6.1 L/100km on the highway and runs on regular gasoline. The 3.5 litre V6 can produce a whopping 270 horsepower, yet it still provides decent city/ highway fuel consumption (rated at 10.6/7.7 L/100km).

It does, however, have a craving for premium quality fuel.

A continuously variable transmission (CVT) is more efficient than a conventional automatic and is designed to always provide best fuel economy, however, some drivers dislike the way it holds engine speed at an optimal level. On the plus, it has

a solid reputation for reliability and a nice feature of this CVT is a sequential manual mode that provides six speed settings.

There’s also a less popular hybrid version of Altima, which claims an outstanding city fuel consumption rating of 5.8 L/100km. This full-hybrid powertrain was jointly developed with Toyota and can run for short distances completely on battery

power. Like most hybrid sedans the battery pack is stored in the trunk. As a result, the rear seats do not fold-down to expand the cargo area and there’s a reduced amount of cargo space in the trunk.

A push-button intelligent key system is standard on this generation Altima. It’s a convenient feature that allows you to start the engine without actually inserting a key in the switch

Altima got the coveted “recommend buy” rating from Consumer Reports.

Although higher than usual incidence of brake and electrical repair did show up on owner surveys, the overall rating for reliability was still better than average, with major mechanical issues showing up.

A rear-view camera was added to select packages on the sedan and coupe models in 2011 and three new exterior colours are available. Except for Bluetooth connectivity with the optional Luxury Package on the sedan, Altima was unchanged for 2012. The Altima Hybrid, however, was discontinued.

In crash tests performed by the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) this generation Altima performed well and got good ratings. However, it only got an “acceptable” rating in a roof crushability test, which simulates a roll-over. Another test of the front seats and head restraints, which simulates a rear-end impact, also resulted in an “acceptable” rating. The next generation 2013 Altima, performed

better in both of these tests and earned an overall “Top Safety Pick” rating.

Good to look at, technically sophisticated and economical to drive, the Nissan Altima can be a reliable, hard to beat used car purchase in the family sedan class.

Prices vary depending on a used vehicle’s condition, mileage, usage and history.

A complete mechanical check should always be performed by a reliable auto technician prior to purchase.

Safety Recalls: 2010 to 2012 Nissan Altima: 2009/10: The metal upper strut insulators may fail and allow the strut rod to come out of its mounting position, which will adversely affect vehicle handling. Dealers will replace the front strut insulators.

2012: The side curtain airbag inflators may have been incorrectly manufactured and, as a result, one or both airbags may not deploy as intended.

Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace one or both side curtain airbag assemblies. bob.mchugh@ drivewaybc.ca

By Alexandra Straub Ojai, CA. - Four-time World Rally Champion (WRC), Tommi Mäkinen, is behind the wheel of the 2015 Subaru WRX STI at Buttonwillow Raceway Park in the middle of nowhere, California.

I’m riding shotgun along with two others in the back.

The ease and effortlessness in which he wrangles the 305 turbocharged horses of the Subaru via the 6-speed manual gearbox is really no surprise. After all, he’s not a champion because he looks good doing it.

So, if the pro can make it look and feel as perfect as a summer’s day, I should be able to as well, right?

I slip into the captain’s chair of the STI – without Tommi in the car, thank goodness – and take to the 3.1-mile track.

Prior to the hot laps, I had driven the outgoing 2014 Subaru STI on the same course. I’d be backto-back testing these all-wheel drive machines to see how the engineering prowess has, yet again, continued to make a vehicle with a cult-like following even better.

Rewind a few hours to the startof-the-day’s press conference.

Masuo Takatsu, WRX STI Project General Manager, mentioned the modus operandi of the fourth generation STI was to create a vehicle that behaves as the drivers expects it to.

Mission accomplished.

Though I didn’t even come close to Tommi’s performance, that wasn’t my goal.

The goal was to experience first-hand how docile yet potent Subaru’s famed sedan took to the high speeds and corners of the club track.

I had no desire to hand the keys over to my colleagues as they eagerly anticipated their time in the Rally Blue beauty.

It would be sacrilege if I didn’t insert some technical jargon into the reasoning why the STI scored big points on the road test.

Hot laps with a world champ at the wheel the engineering, here are the top three take-home points of this incredible vehicle.

One: the increased use of high-strength steel makes for a stiffer and stronger body, and decreases its tendency to twist and bend in corners. The result? A more predictable handling sedan that isn’t easily irked and stays firmly planted to the ground.

Furthermore, the 2015 STI achieves 16 percent less body roll than before.

Two: You have the practicality of added dimensions. There is 25mm added to wheelbase, there is 900mm more legroom in back and you get 20L more cargo space (from 320L to 340L.)

Three: The Base WRX and STI don’t have a rear spoiler. The Sport and Sport-tech WRX has a trunk lip spoiler and the corresponding STI trims have the “table for six” or very large spoiler!

Perhaps it’s also sacrilege to not put the emphasis of this review on the design and engineering of this new generation of STI. After all, it has been reimagined on both the inside and out.

But anyone who knows the vehicle is aware that it is in a class of its own, with few competitors that can come close to the emotional appeal that this sedan brings to the market.
