idan Anderson and Tyler Kelly got their first inkling that their idyllic trip to the base of Mount Everest had taken a bad turn when the mountain around them began to disintigrate. The lifelong friends, soccer teammates and 2014 Carihi graduates were hiking a trail linking two remote Nepalese villages last Saturday morning when a 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck, wreaking disaster on the small mountain country. “Aidan said they were on the hardest part of the trail that day, near the edge of a cliff,” his mother, Denise Henley, said. “First they felt the ground shaking, and then they heard a loud thunder. Then the cliff edge in front of them, he said, just exploded.” “Tyler said they were about 700 metres up and they had avalanches coming down all around them,” added Shari Jensen, Kelly’s mother. The two women sat together at Henley’s dining room table Wednesday, monitoring a computer and two cell phones for updates on their sons’ status. With occasional nervous laughter and a few tears, they recounted the young men’s tale while often completing each others’ sentences. It was one moment in a nervewracking week for families at opposite points of the earth, with children seeking a way out of a remote, potentially dangerous village and parents desperately working to facilitate that extracContinued on Pg. 3

Nepal: No word from sons for 13 hours after earthquake
Continued from Pg. 1
tion. And that crisis is just a single snapshot in a vast tragedy that has already claimed more than 5,500 lives and has aid workers still crawling through the rubble in cities and villages throughout the country. Still, it is their crisis. And it has been exacerbated this week by failing health, dwindling food supplies and damage to the trail that has turned the teens’ oneday hike from Lukla to Namche Bazarre into a two- or three-day slog to return to the nearest airport. Anderson and Kelly planned to attempt that walk beginning late Thursday, Campbell River time, and the mothers will be anxiously waiting to hear the next contact from their sons, much as NASA’s mission control waited for astronauts to complete an orbit through the “dark side” of the moon. The young mens’ trip began in New Zealand in January, when Anderson joined Kelly following the latter’s stay there for a family reunion marking his grandmother’s 90th birthday. The pair went on to tour Thailand and Malaysia before flying into Kathmandu April 19 to begin a trek to visit the base camp used by climbers ascending Mount Everest, the world’s tallest mountain. Just hours before the huge quake struck at about 11:30 a.m. local time, Anderson and Kelly had taken a flight from Kathmandu, Nepal’s capital, to Lukla’s Tenzing-Hillary airport, named for the first man to climb Everest and his local Sherpa guide. Placed with their own guide in a group with two young Norwegian women, the pair set out on the daylong hike to Namche, the final jumping-off point for Everest climbers before they settled in at base camp. They were still on that trail when the earthquake struck releasing a series of avalanches that, higher up on Everest, took the lives of 27 climbers in the most deadly day in the mountain’s history. The quake occured late Friday night, April 24, Campbell River time. Henley learned the news when she awoke early Saturday morning to get ready for her job

Denise Henley, left, and Shari Jensen monitor social media and seek information on their sons, Carihi grads Aidan Anderson and Tyler Kelly, while sitting in Henley’s dining room Wednesday. The 18-year-old men have been stuck in a remote Nepalese village since being caught in last week’s 7.8-magnitude earthquake in Nepal.
at Yucalta Lodge and promptly called Jensen. The two women wouldn’t learn their sons were safe until 13 hours later. “My stomach’s still in knots,” Jensen said of the wait. “It was awful. I was at work and just compartmentalized,” said Henley. “I told my co-workers, ‘Don’t turn on the TV, not on any channels that have the news.’” At about 8 p.m. local time, Henley checked Facebook to find Anderson had logged in as “safe” on a page set up for the Nepal earthquake. “Facebook apparently set that up, where they can have an area marked as a danger zone,” Henley said. “If you log in from that spot, it shows you’re in a danger zone. At 8:13 p.m., he marked himself as safe. “That’s what Tyler did, too.” Facebook Messenger has become the families’ go-to source of communication, with cell phone coverage lacking in Namche. In the earliest communication, the teens tell their moth-
ers they’re going to go ahead and continue their trek from Namche toward the base camp, since the trail back to Lukla and its airport was closed immediately following the quake. But at this end, the mothers had learned from guiding companies and government aid officials that the area remained unstable and at risk of aftershocks. If the teens were in a safe area, they should hunker down until an evacuation could be scheduled. “So we’re telling them, no, don’t move, because it’s just too crazy in Lukla,” Henley said. Then, on April 29, she received a message from her daughter forwarding information from SOS International that Canadian Forces C-17 transport planes were evacuating Canadian citizens from Kathmandu to New Delhi, India. All citizens in remote areas were advised to make their way to Kathmandu for these flights, as no evacuation missions from the remote areas were planned. “So they’re telling us
that now, when previously they told us to tell them, ‘Stay where you are,’” said Henley. “And now their health has deteriorated to the point they can’t walk out any more.” At roughly the same time the hikers got word they should make their way back to Lukla for a flight to Kathmandu, and that the trail was reopened — albeit in a deteriorated condition — Anderson’s health took a dramatic downturn. “Aidan hasn’t told me, because he knows it will upset me,” Henley said Wednesday. “But he talked to his sister (Tuesday) night and said he has a real bad headache, he feels like crap, can’t get out of bed and he’s nauseous. They can’t walk out.” The women have ruled out altitude sickness — “They’re not up high enough,” said Jensen — and Henley wondered if it was a food or water illness. A potential grueling, multi-day hike was also problematic because there is no food, water or aid along the way.
Namche was initially well-equipped with food, as the Everest climbing season had just begun. But after the quake hundreds of climbers descended from base camp back into the village, straining its resources even as supply lines were cut off. “Aidan said the ATM machines are out of money,” Henley said. “He says, ‘Some hotels will give me cash on the Visa card, but it costs 10 per cent,’” “We told them, just do it,” Jensen said. “Whatever it takes.” Late Wednesday night, the mothers were told Anderson’s health seemed to be improving, and the teens were planning to attempt the hike the following day to Lukla, where people are being flown out on a first-come, firstserved basis. Prior to that, though, they were stymied in their efforts

New watering restrictions now in place On May 1, stage one of the city’s new watering restrictions comes into effect. A new watering bylaw was passed last spring defining Campbell River watering restrictions in three stages. The changes were implemented to enable the City to better manage water demand during peak summer periods. The bylaw defines
three stages in watering restrictions that will be implemented based on the community’s water use, weather and water supply availability. Stage three is the most restrictive and would be used in cases of extreme and sustained drought or inter-urban fire situations. Currently, the community is in stage one watering restrictions,
which allow residents to water lawns during these times: n Odd-numb ered house addresses may water only on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday from 5 to 9 a.m. and from 7 to 10 p.m. n Even-numbered house addresses may water only on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday from 5 to 9 a.m. and from 7 to 10 p.m.
Watering gardens, trees, shrubs, and community gardens by hand or with a spring-loaded type nozzles with automatic shut-off connected to hose is allowed at any time during the day in all stages. Find out more about watering activities, restrictions, schedule and stages, including watering times for nonresidential properties on

promising news, but not to the extent of promising a helicopter airlift. “We’re considering calling the American embassy, to see if they’ll help their neighbours out,” Henley said. “We’re desperate moms; we’ll do anything.” Jensen said she might try the New Zealand consulate, as Kelly is a dual citizen traveling with both Canadian and New Zealand passports. After hearing a story on CBC Almanac about a woman whose husband was flown by helicopter to Kathmandu from Lukla, Jensen actually coaxed the woman’s number from CBC producers and made contact with her. “I think I might email
to find help getting their sons out of the remote village. Every government and aid agency they called told them their information would be forwarded to the Canadian Consulate in Nepal. But Jensen said she learned Canada doesn’t have a “real” consulate in the country. “It’s one guy and he works out of his house,” she said. “All these emails are going to this one guy.” While they shared their story Wednesday, Henley received a call confirming Anderson and Kelly were both on a priority list compiled by the Canadian Red Cross in Nepal. It was
that lady and find out where the helicopter came from,” Jensen said. “I’d be willing to mortgage this house,” Henley added. Some of that worry was alleviated by the latest news of Anderson’s improving health, but the moms will be waiting on pins and needles to hear how their sons’ hike to Lukla turns out in the next day or two. And even then, many questions remain in their minds. “One thing we haven’t found out is, who are the two Norwegian girls?” Henley said. Jensen nodded in comisseration. “They still won’t give us their names, will they?”

Union wants to be part of Myra Falls solution Shutdown: Company suspends operations to focus on addressing deficiencies ALISTAIR TAYLOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The union representing workers at the Nyrstar Myra Falls mine hopes the need for a temporary suspension of operations at the zinc and copper operation has set off alarm bells in the company. “Hopefully, this is a wake up call for everybody,” said Bill Garton, president of Unifor local 3019. Gar ton said they weren’t surprised by the company’s announcement Tuesday that it’s suspending operations. “Basically, it’s not unexpected,” Garton said. “We believe that management has made some critically wrong decisions over the last year.” Nyrstar announced Tuesday that it has decided to temporarily suspend regular mining and milling operations following a comprehensive review of present economics and operations at the Myra Falls mine located west of Campbell River. A press release issued Tuesday said Nyrstar is committed to working in close consultation and within specified agreements with employees, throughout the temporary suspension period. The company will work towards a shared goal
of facilitating a restart of operations, depending on the completion of critical milestones during the suspension period. Garton said he hopes the company is honest about consulting with the workers during the shutdown. “Just how much they’re willing to let us help and be part of this, we’re not sure. We will be finding out shortly,” Garton said. “Past history has been they haven’t liked us putting our input in. We’re hoping that has changed.” The company’s economic and operational review identified a number of shortcomings across the site which has resulted in a significant deterioration in the performance at Nyrstar Myra Falls over the past 12 months. “Deficiencies in site infrastructure, planning, operating, and maintenance practices, and inadequate mine development for future mining areas were all identified as topics that needed to be addressed,” said Glenn Smith, Acting Vice President North America for Mining at Nyrstar. “These factors have forced us into a period during which strategic programs and investments need to be assessed, and then implemented.
“These include such activities as restoration and upgrading of site power infrastructure, and execution of a focussed mine development plan within the mine’s existing footprint. “We also need to ensure resources with appropriate technical expertise are engaged, to help transition our future operations into an efficient and profitable mine site, able to extract maximum value from the ore body at Myra Falls.” A number of alternative operating scenarios to address economic and historic issues were evaluated, taking into account all associated operational and financial risks. The evaluation identified temporary suspension as the most effective and practical scenario that would enable the company to focus resources on improvements at the site, in readiness for a restart. Through a dedicated assessment and implementation period, Nyrstar Myra Falls will engage a core group of employees and focus on site optimization with the goal of implementing changes intended to substantially improve mine and plant operating conditions. A restart of operations will be contingent on the completion of a number of critical milestones during the suspension period outlined above. Consequently, at this
Chamber concerned about impact on the community ALISTAIR TAYLOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The temporary closure of the Myra Falls mine will have economic reverberations throughout the Campbell River area. And the Campbell River Chamber of Commerce is concerned about that. “The chamber is concerned about the immediate affect from the layoff of hundreds of employees, the majority who live within Campbell River and surrounding area and first and foremost what the layoffs will mean as a loss to the workers and their families,” said chamber board chair Corby Lamb.
Those jobs and wages help support local businesses. “This layoff will also affect our local businesses who count on wage earners with disposable income to support their store, products and services,” Chamber CEO Colleen Evans said. “We will be monitoring progress closely to better understand what the longer term viability of Nyrstar’s operation and upgrade timeline is and how that affects good paying local jobs and opportunities..” Lamb said the future of the community is closely tied to the mine’s. “As a business-focused organization, we understand the importance
of ongoing investment in infrastructure and improvements that business needs to remain competitive in the marketplace and it’s our expectation that Nyrstar’s commitment to undertake this effort now is a commitment to Campbell River future’s,” he said.

stage, Nyrstar was unable to provide a definitive restart date for operations. The company says it has begun talking with all stakeholders and will
continue to throughout the suspension period. Garton said full details are yet to be provided but indications are that the company will keep about 75 workers –
union and staff – out of the approximately 270 workers on the job to conduct remedial work. Garton said the mine is viable and if the right decisions are made, the
operation can continue for another 20-30 years. “We believe we have a world class ore body,” he said. The shutdown is expected to begin June 1.

Our View
Less will be the norm It’s time to expect less from our governments. Lists and their parameters vary, but most rankings have Canadians inside the top 10 of the most heavilytaxed residents in the world. Canadians hold health care and education near and dear. We should. Despite wait times and frustrations, we can anecdotally be proud of our universal health care and education systems. Just don’t call it free. Health care and education spending rises every year, regardless of which party is in power in Ottawa or Victoria. Technological advances and the accompanying gadgets/miracle machines are more and more expensive to buy every year. Staff, union or not, generally cost more every year. On average, provinces spend approximately 40 per cent of their total budgets on health care (source: healthcarefunding.ca). Education funding, as a percentage of provincial budgets, is a more difficult number to research, but from what we could find, 15-20 per cent is in the ball park. That means, conservatively, 60 per cent of the provincial government’s budget is spent on health care and education. And that’s not going to decline any year soon as the population continues to age. As those costs rise and eat up more and more of the budget, there will be less money for everything else. All of this means there is less money for anything other than the basics. The condition of provincial and municipal roadways will become increasingly worse. What can be done other than lower our expectations? The easy answer is to raise taxes. We do not favour that route, as we believe more money in the pockets of residents makes for better local economies. Allow for more private healthcare facilities? The theory here is those who can afford it can pay for it, taking themselves out of the public-waiting-list logjam, freeing up time in operating rooms for the rest of us. The concept seems sacrilegious to some, almost anti-Canadian, but it may provide relief we most certainly need. Forgive us, Tommy Douglas, but the way healthcare costs are spiraling, we need to find a way to keep some form of universal healthcare alive for future generations. -Black Press

Coast Guard hysteria sinks lower The Vancouver media’s frantic coverage of the Great Bunker Spill of 2015 has just about run out of fuel. By late last week, the usually serious <I>Globe and Mail</ I> was reduced to quizzing a U.S. expert who had at first told the CBC he thought the spill response was pretty good. But then he heard that it might have taken up to 12 hours until the leaking grain ship was completely under control, which would be not so good. This U.S. expert admitted he has not “followed the Vancouver spill very closely,” and was basically speculating. But that’s OK, because the main purpose of this media frenzy is to feed the established narrative that the Harper government is gutting the Coast Guard while trying to ramp up heavy oil shipments to Asia. Yeah, that makes sense. A University of Toronto philosophy prof recently suggested that Stephen Harper likes war. Maybe he likes oil spills too.

Unifor operatives rushed to the media again last week with dire news of a half-hour outage of this new system, portraying this as evidence of a high-tech disaster waiting to happen. (Ships were told to monitor an old-school emergency radio channel for that uneventful half hour.) What the union is really doing is ramping up its election propaganda, and intensifying efforts to protect redundant positions that are being replaced by new technology. There was a similar media campaign last year targeting the consolidation of Veterans’ Affairs into Service Canada offices. There are serious problems with services to veterans, but union featherbedding would not help them. The B.C. government is also introducing digital technology, eliminating hundreds of paperpushing jobs in the process, with a mostly realistic response from unions. But in this federal election year, realism will be in short supply. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

NIC seeks community input Help improve the lives of post-secondary students on Vancouver Island this May by sharing your input on North Island College’s proposed Strategic Priorities and Goals. We want to know what you think NIC is doing well and what we need to change over the next five years to improve student success. The BC government projects one million job openings across the province between 2012 and 2022 – with 78 per cent of those jobs requiring post-secondary education. We need to prepare the next generation of health care professionals, tradespeople, artists, social workers, business leaders and university graduates to work in our communities. Over the past six months, NIC staff,
administrators and faculty have created nine strategic priorities they’d like to focus on in our college planning. That plan, called NIC Plan 2020, will help shape how we deliver NIC programs and services for the next five years. Throughout our planning process it was clear student success and their experiences are at the centre of all we do at NIC. A few of the priorities include: high-quality, responsive programs and curriculum; access to learning and services across the region; resources, investment and sustainability; as well as more active connections to the community. But I want to hear more. The college needs to hear from as many peo-
ple and organizations as possible so we can carefully consider your ideas before NIC’s Board of Governors approves the College Plan at the end of June. We’ve created a website designed to encourage your feedback online at www.nic.bc.ca/NICPlan2020. This month, I’m also hosting three Community Town Hall meetings to gather your ideas. Please join me. Community Town Hall Meetings: Port Alberni, May 7, Room CEN 205 Comox Valley, May 13, Stan Hagen Theatre Campbell River, May 14, Room C 228 Each meeting will be held from 12 to 1:30 pm.

Public wages barely keeping pace I take issue with parts of your March 25 editorial, in particular the statement, “Wages paid to public sector workers have ballooned.” I work in the public sector, in health care, and can report that wage increases for my colleagues and me in B.C. have barely kept pace with inflation for over a decade. And neither should anyone fear that we will be raiding the public purse any time soon, as our scheduled increases for the next five years will be in the range of 1.0 to 1.5 per cent. It is misleading to refer to public sector workers as a whole.

Health care workers show the smallest differential overall, and in particular in B.C., where virtually no difference is seen between public and private wage rates. You cite a number of reasons that explain why private sector wages are lower, especially since the economic downturn

M
ore than a week until Mother’s Day… Chocolates will be bought and flowers better be acquired. But you should get ahead of the pack and buy that perfect sparkling wine for your sister, spouse, mother or grandma now! Il Vino dei Poeti Rosé (90886) $8 in a tiny, shiny pink 200 ml bottle has arrived just in time to help celebrate the day. An inventive blend of Pinot Noir and Raboso, it sizzles with strawberry nuances and raspberry fruit flavours. If 200 mls just doesn’t make it, this deligfhtful wine also comes as Il Vino dei Poeti Rosé (223669) $24.99 in a standard sized 750 ml size in an even more eye-catching teardropshaped metallic pink bottle. Far from being expensive, Cook’s Brut (216614) $9.99 from California shows lots of classic “malic” tree-fruit apple and pear notes
leading a subtle “toasty” finish. Tough to find a better bubbly than this at a splash into the glass kind of price! Spain has been offering us their sparkling wines – which they call ‘Cava’ – for many years. And their offerings come in a variety of styles and prices. While there are many similar, there isn’t a better quality sparkling wine, for anywhere near the price, on the market than Spain’s Segura Viudas Brut Reserva (158493) $15.99. Rich and “creamy” it has that authentically “champenoise” toast-iness with citrus, pear and vanilla flavours in it. A step up the scale takes you to Freixenet Elyssia Gran Cuvée (169995) $22.99 - a premium Spanish blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with the addition of the traditional Spanish Cava grapes Macabeo and Parellada. Bright lemon, freshly cut pear and honeyed peaches sizzle on first
sip. Over a creamy minerality, subtle tropical fruit flavours fill out the mid-palate. Italy is another reliable source of affordable quality sparkling wines, many of which are Proseccos. Made from the ‘Glera’ grape and packaged in an eye-catching neon-green plastic-clad bottle Anna Spinato Prosecco Organic Brut (374769) $15 stands out from its companions on the shelf. As well as “classic” apple and pear aromatics and flavours, there’s a mouth-filling dose of underlying nutty, toasty sweetness. Very deliberately “Old World” and an exceptional sparkling wine in a traditional style, Valdo Prosecco di Valdobbiadene Spumante D.O.C.G. Marca Oro (550111) at $20.99 shows a chalky streak of minerality that frames tart flavours of Granny Smith apples and softly sweet freshly sliced pears. Slipping onto the tongue as the wine finishes, there is a bright twist of lemon and grapefruit acidity. Outside of the Prosecco zone, but still in

Stephen Cipes is an outspoken advocate for ‘natural’ wine. Summerhill Cipes Brut (314419) $31 is made from Riesling and Chardonnay grapes that are 100 per cent organic and is ‘finished’ by aging in Summerhill’s legendary pyramid where it purportedly benefits from the sacred geometry and the alignment to true north. Chateau Moncontour Vouvray ‘Cuvée Predilection’ (670182) $30 is an interestingly unusual and refreshingly bright and fruit sparkling wine made from 100 per cent Chenin Blanc in France’s Loire Valley. Dry and nicely ‘nutty’ it leads with a sprinkling of hazelnut notes and finishes with a generous mouthful of casaba and honeydew melon flavours. And – while it is a French sparkling wine – it’s half the cost of France’s legendary

Carihi students cut the bloomin’ broom Inspired by the spirit of Earth Day a Carihi teacher quickly organized a broombuster event on Wednesday that included 125 students. “I was looking for a meaningful action that would involve many of our classrooms,” explained Thomas Diesch. “I drive in to school every day on the Inland Island Hwy. and it was obvious the broom infestation is out of control. Involving students in broom removal seemed the ideal project to connect youth directly with the environment.” Diesch, 28, is in his first year at the secondary school. He radiates enthusiasm and he was concerned about the enormous amount of broom choking the southern perimeter of the school grounds. He said it didn’t take long to clear the plan to remove the broom with Administration. He then connected with fellow teachers Alana Jorgensen and Mika Taiji, as well as students from Science, Planning 10 and Social Studies 9. The Forestry class storeroom housed saws, clippers, gloves and lifting tools so the students were well-equipped. “The tactics on clearing broom meant separating the classes into f ive groups staged throughout the day. By the time the bell rang on
Carihi student Avalon Fast joins fellow students and teacher volunteers cutting and stacking Scotch broom in an Earth Day broombash on the school grounds last week.
Wednesday afternoon there was nothing left at the fence line except a pile of dead branches,” explained Diesch. “It was inspiring to witness what our students achieved at the broombust. The experience showed them what a serious ecological issue this noxious plant has become.” Diesch grew up on his family’s 70-acre Denman Island farm. As a kid, one of his tasks meant clearing broom and rocks from the fields. He spent his young life involved in community and environmental pursuits. At 16 years he signed on as a volunteer fire fighter and added to this by taking training as a paramedic.
This eventually led to earning a science degree
from the University of Victoria followed by further study and an education degree from the University of Vancouver Island. His career first led him to a job at the Bamfield Science Centre. From there, it was employment at the Gulf Islands Park Reserve followed by a UVic research project studying raccoons on the southern islands in the Georgia Straits. This is his first year as a full time teacher and he is very pleased to become a member of the teaching team at Carihi.

Living with Alzheimer’s
Like living with a child? THIRD IN A SERIES Long time area resident Jocelyn Reekie and her husband Bill are a family dealing with Alzheimer’s Disease and wanted to bring the struggle out of the shadows and into public consciousness. So they have decided to write about their situation in an effort to inform and support anyone else who may be in similar circumstances. Note:The B.C. Alzheimer Society wants those wishing to attend the caregivers’ support group mentioned in last week’s article to contact Jane Hope at 1-800-4622833 prior to attending the group. JOCELYN REEKIE SPECIAL TO THE MIRROR
“Living with someone with dementia is like living with a child.” It’s a common perception. But is it true? Children are mimics. They follow adults’ examples (especially the ones you’d rather they didn’t see) and challenge parents to find ways to communicate with them that will encourage them to
develop good life skills and protect them from harm. We try to teach them to be aware of their surroundings, to honour the sensibilities of others, to follow the order of law that governs our society, to question and explore. In other words, we strive to raise self-confident, skilled, empathic, honourable, engaged citizens. It’s a tall order. It takes every skill parents possess, plus the skills of the dozens of other ‘teachers’ who influence children along the way. Unless a child is developmentally challenged, they develop on a continuum.
They start out requiring total care and supervision. As they grow, they learn to do things for themselves, to think for themselves, their circle widens, and they may surpass their teachers in skills acquired. Some believe that as Alzheimer’s disease progresses, the patient reverts to a child-like state and then a babylike state. Physically, they do require more and more care. But Alzheimer’s patients are not children or babies. They have spent a lifetime acquiring skills and opinions, and have grown into their own ways of doing things. They have been valued members of society. T h e y c an n ot b e solaced by being picked up and carried, or made to laugh by blowing a raspberry on their bellies. (Okay, that one might be up for discussion). And while children
are busy gaining knowledge, learning how to plan, and to imagine possibilities and work toward a result by taking those possibilities into account, Alzheimer’s patients are losing their vast store of knowledge, and the ability to imagine. Like a fire that starts in one corner of a room and burns through a house wiping out a lifetime’s belongings, the storage rooms in Alzheimer’s patients’ brains are destroyed. Some belongings lost in a fire can be replaced, some things cannot. Alzheimer’s is like the things that can’t. When the parts of the brain that govern various skills and bodily functions are destroyed, in an Alzheimer’s patient, those things are gone forever. What that means in part is that no matter how many times one tries to explain something to an Alzheimer’s patient, the patient will
not be able to recall or relearn how to perform a task they have forgotten how to do, or remember what’s been said to them. Nor will they be able to learn new tasks. However, they will often know there is something they should be able to do, but can’t, which leads to incredible frustration. And they will remember how what’s said to them made them feel, which can lead to sadness on their part and regret on the caregiver’s part. Those things are often hard for a caregiver to understand, and to accept. It’s not stubbornness, a lack of will, or stupidity on the patient’s part that is causing problems. It’s a dying brain. This is a disease in which the goal posts move. Things can change from month to month, or even hour to hour. Frustration is part of
the package. There will be times caregivers as well as patients need to allow ourselves to vent and to cry. But we need to find ways to do this that don’t cause more pain. In the midst of a difficult situation, taking deep breaths when the volume is rising, stepping away to collect one’s thoughts, can help. Later, it’s important to take time to assess how things have changed, and how one can deal with the changes. Keeping a diary can help. Hearing or reading other people’s stories can also provide valuable insights. And remember to laugh. The other night Bill got up to go to the bathroom. For some reason, he put his pillow on the floor. When he returned and got into bed, he looked bewildered.

“Lose something?” I asked. “Yeah. I think so.” He continued to look around. “Lie down,” I said. He did. “What are you missing?” His head swivelled. He spied my pillow. “A pillow.” He sat up and started to hunt in his covers for it. Eventually he spotted it on the floor. “You know you’re fodder for a book someday,” I said, grinning. He laughed. “Yeah.” His laugh is deep and rolls out of him. It’s infectious. “Would you be upset if I did write about us?” I asked. “Nope.” “Good. Because I already have.” We both laughed. “Consider yourself warned…again.” (I clear it with him every time I write something). “And sleep on your side, not your back.”

off from hosting the games is just too good to ignore. “I think this is too good an opportunity to pass up,” Adams said. “And the City of Courtenay is very excited about partnering with us again.” Campbell River last co-hosted the games in 2010, with the help of the Comox Valley. The city was approached by the 55+ BC Games Society a few months ago about the possibility of Campbell

The City of Campbell River and the City of Courtenay are submitting a bid to co-host the 55+ BC Games. At its meeting on April 20, Campbell River council directed city staff to prepare an application to bring what was formerly known as the BC Senior Games, to Campbell River. Mayor Andy Adams said the economic spin-
River submitting a bid to host the games again in either 2017, 2018 or 2019. But the proposal nearly died after the Comox Valley Regional District indicated it wasn’t interested. Comox Valley recreation staff said in light of several events happening in the Valley within the next two years that it may be hard to recruit volunteers. Adams then went directly to Courtenay
Mayor Larry Jangula to get his view on the matter. Adams said within 45 minutes Jangula had his entire council on board with submitting a bid to host the 55+ BC Games. Adams added that Cumberland and Comox may also join in. “I will say, Mayor (Paul) Ives and Mayor (Leslie) Baird of the Town of Comox and the Village of Cumberland are very interested but due to time constraints, if we can just get the appli-

day, and the Campbell River Rotary Club which led the fundraising campaign to build the pier. But there’s nothing about the forestry industry which donated the timber for the pilings and the logs that were converted for the pier deckings and the railings that run the length of the pier. It’s estimated that the forestry industry in total provided roughly $1 million in materials, time and machinery to the construction of the pier. Council, at its April 20 meeting, agreed that the forest companies should be recognized and approved spending up to $2,000 from council’s contigency account to purchase and install such a plaque.
CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
City council is attempting to correct an omission at the pier. Resident Stan Zuke told the city last November that the forestry industry, which played an instrumental role in the construction of Discovery Pier, is left out of all the acknowledgements that adorn the 600-foot long wooden structure. There’s a plaque comme mor at i ng A lw y n Edgar Thurlow Hodgkinson for his role “in designing the first salt water fishing pier in Canada and his dedicated service to the City of Campbell River” and there’s also a plaque recognizing the people of Campbell River, the council of the
Elle Brovold, the city’s property manager, said the plaque costs $1,387 and installation will cost roughly $500. The plaque is a solid bronze cast with a raised border and will recognize all the local businesses that contributed towards the construction of the Discovery Pier with a special acknowledgement of the local forest industry. Brovold said city staff contacted the Museum at Campbell River to confirm the contributions made by the forest industry. “Archive volunteers conducted a fairly extensive search of the newspapers during that time period and confirmed that there were dona-

munities chosen to have the games are provided with $85,000 from the province to help with the cost of hosting the event. The city has until June 26 to submit its bid for the games. The application will be developed by city staff, and then presented to council for review in either late May or early June.

Troupe to debut dramatic comedy festival entry Rivercity Players is currently rehearsing In Praise of Love, a dramatic comedy by the award winning English playwright Sir Terence Rattigan. It will be their entry in Theatre BC’s North Island Zone Drama Festival. “It is a superbly constructed and well written script, with challenging parts for all the actors involved, “ says the director Bill Walton, who came within two points of winning the festival a couple of years ago with another Rattigan play, the Winslow Boy. The story of the play is based on the relationship of Rex Harrison and his wife, Kay Kendall. Kendall died in 1959 of leukemia. She knew her days were numbered but carried on working right to the end and kept her condition a secret from Harrison. However, Harrison found out about it but kept his knowledge from her; a sad but strangely humorous situation considering the personalities involved. Rattigan pulls out all the humour and pathos of the story. He trans-

fers the situation to two imaginary characters, Sebastien, a left leaning theatre critic, and Lydia, his wife, an exresistance fighter from WWII. He adds a politically involved son and a rich American writer friend who is in love with Lydia, and he creates a wonderfully entertaining play. In Praise of Love runs May 6, 7, 9, 13, 14, 15, and 16 with a matinee on May 17 at 2 p.m.
before it transfers to the Capitol Theatre in Port Alberni where it will be performed on May 21. The Stage at 1080 Hemlock Street is a small 90 seat theatre so patrons are advised to get their tickets early for this limited performance show. Tickets can be purchased at Art Impressions Custom Framing, Comfort Zone Foods, and Campbell River Laundromat.

says Susan Barcham, spokesperson for the Lodge. “To have the opportunity to learn from the professionals in a setting immersed in Vancouver Island’s stunning natural beauty is extraordinary.

RECOGNIZING THE IMPORTANCE OF MINING IN OUR COMMUNITIES

PREVIEW History of Mining BCTRCR*
Beginning in the mid-1800s, with the coal mines on Vancouver Island and the placer gold camps of the Cariboo, British Columbia has become one of the world’s major mining regions. The province encompasses the largest part of the Canadian Cordillera, a mountain belt rich in minerals and coal. British Columbia is an important producer and exporter of copper, gold, silver, lead, zinc, molybdenum, coal and industrial minerals.
Modern Mining BCTRCR*
As of late 2010, there are 9 major metal mines and 10 major coal mines operating in BC. There are also 35 major industrial mineral mines, 2 smelters and numerous smaller mining operations throughout the province. In 2010, there were several major operating mine expansions (Quinsam, Endako, MAX Moly and Highland Valley Copper) and four major mines in construction: Copper Mountain, New Afton, Atlin Gold and Mt. Milligan. In addition to operating mines, there are 18 projects in the environmental assessment and/or permitting process. The new Highway 37 power line planned into the northwest part of the province will open up new mining opportunities for the future, ushering in a ‘mining renaissance’ in B.C. The map below and the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Mines 2010 update indicates the location of the operating metal, industrial minerals and coal mines, proposed development projects and major exploration plays. Although operating mines conduct continuous or progressive reclamation, many aspects of reclamation and environmental protection at mine sites continue long after mine closure. Consequently, the majority of mine sites in B.C. that are undergoing reclamation and/or conducting measures to protect the environment are non-producing mines rather than developing and operating mines.

How are mining products of benefit in our day-to-day lives? The products of the mining industry help build the highways,electrical and communications networks,housing, automobiles, consumer electronics and other products and infrastructure essential to modern life. Some samples of consumer application that rely on mining products:
Coal
Carbon [C]
Coal has become, and continues to be, a vital component of Canadian life. Ironically, however, most Canadians will never actually see coal. Coal is second only to oil in meeting the world's energy needs and is a critical input in the manufacture of steel. In Canada, coal meets about one seventh of our primary energy needs, mainly as a fuel for electricity generation. Canadian industry has also benefited from coal. For example, the Canadian steel industry depends on coal in the production of almost every tonne of steel. Coal is also one of Canada's leading mineral export commodities and is Canada's largest export to the important Asian markets of Japan and South Korea. Canada's abundant resources of coal are most extensive in the three western provinces, and northward towards the Arctic Circle. In the west, coal is found in the plains areas, the Rocky Mountain foothills, and in the Rocky Mountain range. In the east, undersea deposits exist off Cape Breton Island.
Approximately half of Canada's coal is transported by rail. Coal from mines in eastern British Columbia and western Alberta travels about 1100 km to west coast ocean ports, or 2300 km to Thunder Bay for shipment by lake to Ontario or the United States. In Canada, we produce more coal than we can use. The result is that about half our production is exported, making Canada one of the the world's leading exporters of coal. More than 20 countries import coal from Canada, our largest markets being Japan and Korea. Although coal use is increasing worldwide, growing attention is being given to the effect of coal mining and its use on the environment. In Canada, we have some of the world's most stringent standards for mine operations, worker safety and environmental protection. These standards ensure that coal mining has minimal effects on air quality and ground or surface water, and that lands are returned to other productive uses within a few years of being mined.
• Batteries—nickel, cadmium, lithium, cobalt • Circuitry—gold, copper, aluminum, steel, lithium, titanium, silver, cobalt, tin, lead, zinc Undersea deposits used to be mined through underground mines from Nova Scotia's Cape Breton • Computer/TV screens—silicon, boron, Coal accounts for 39% of the total volume Island for more than 100 years.

Ravens start off in the fast lane The Campbell River Midget A2 Ravens hosted the Juan de Fuca A1 Whalers (JDF) on Sunday at Rod Brind’Amour Arena. The Whalers are probably the best A1 team on the Island and pretty competitive with the top lacrosse teams in the Lower Mainland so the Ravens knew they had to stay focused. Unfortunately, captain Nolan Fair couldn’t even watch this game after going onto the disabled list the previous day. He broke his ankle on Saturday during Team Island tryouts at Fuller Lake and was in hospital on Sunday for surgery to have a pin inserted to stabilize the fracture. The Ravens knew their collective backs were up against the wall and came out guns a-blazing. JDF started their pick-and-roll motion offence early and never took their foot off of the gas pedal. Ravens goalie Will McLean made a few good saves before JDF snuck one through the five-hole to take the lead. JDF extended their lead with a short-handed effort and followed that with an even-strength goal. Fans were treated to JDF’s high-octane offence as they setup double-screens and ran defenders into them. While short-handed, JDF managed to spring a breakaway which was denied by McLean. After another JDF goal, the first period ended with JDF leading 4-0. Early in the second period, Bryce Turko spotted Mason Osterhout-Code wide-open and zipped the ball to him. Osterhout-Code buried it to break the goose-egg 4-1 for JDF. That seemed to deflate JDF momentarily and the Ravens kept the pressure on with good ball movement. While on offence, the ball came to Cameron Hunter at the top of the house and he fired a howitzer into the back of the onion bag, to make it 4-2. JDF regained their focus and popped a pair of even-strength goals by running their tried-andtrue plays to free shooters at the very edge of the crease. Turko created his own opportunity with a strong forecheck, forcing a loose ball which he scooped up and took in on the JDF goal. He fired the ball into the back of the onion bag to make it 6-3. JDF got a late one to make it 7-3 at the end of the second. JDF kept the pedal-to-the-metal and scored a pair of even-strength and a pair of power-play goals. Hunter fired a pass to Zach Lontayao and he lit the red light to make it 11-4. McLean made a great save on a behind-the-back shot from the edge of the goal crease but JDF followed that with an open man at the side of the net who made the catch-and-shoot play before McLean could move side-to-side. With less than two minutes left in the third, both teams kept working hard. The Ravens moved the ball well with a few crisp passes but the JDF goalie tracked the ball well and made the save; final score was 12-4 for JDF. “Everyone stepped up big time, especially since we were missing Nolan, Luke Lund and Reilly Doney this game for various reasons,” said

head coach Todd Fair. “Reid Matthews came into the lineup today and contributed. Jeremy Gushe worked hard at both ends and seems to be learning some tips-and-tricks from Ross Rickman regarding how to control larger players by angling them to the boards. Matt Leard and Liam Rivett were unlucky not to score today; each went into the danger zones repeatedly and drew defenders every time. Andy Hunt kept his composure and worked hard at both ends of the floor. Travis Star and Jordan Pentney are getting up to speed quickly and making significant progress every game. Will may want a couple of shots back but the guy is facing more than 50 shots per game so far this season. We tied JDF in the second period and demonstrated more discipline
by staying out of the penalty box. Giving teams the power-play at this level often results in a goal against, especially teams that move the ball as well as JDF does.” “While I’m obviously saddened by my son’s injury, I want to congratulate Zach and Will for making Team Island. Many observers came up to me while we were assessing Nolan’s injury and said that he was a shoo-in for Team Island, too. There were fewer players trying out this year but to have three Ravens on the team is a credit to these athletes.” The Ravens host Nanaimo on Saturday, May 2 (2 p.m. at Rod Brind’Amour Arena) then travel over the Malahat on Sun May 3 for a rematch against JDF.

Carhi take Investors Cup Last Thursday and Friday Carihi’s Senior A and B girls soccer teams both participated in the 19th annual Investors Group Cup Tournament, held at both Carihi and Willow Point field. The senior B played an impressive four games against high caliber teams and showed real tenacity throughout the entire tournament. The senior A lost their first game 3-1 on Thursday morning against a skilled Argyle squad, with Macayla Gray scoring the lone goal, but rallied to win their second against St John Brebeuf 4-1. The goal scorers were Morgan McDonald, Emma Skalik, Lisa Lloyd, and Kyla May. This allowed them to go on to play in the semifinal on Friday and then possibly in the finals to win the plate. The first game on Friday consisted of a match against Parkland Panthers, with Alexis Giebelhaus opening the scoring
right off the bat with a touch into the net off of a corner given by Lisa Eberlien to bring Carihi ahead by one. It was 2-1 at the half after Morgan placed a shot in the corner passed the Parkland keeper. The second half was completely dominated by Carihi in white, keeping possession and playing the passing game they always try for. The youngster on the team Charlie Borrie, found openings in the mid field to allow the ball to move quickly from the back line to the forwards with Megan Robertson helping the passing along as well. The third goal came after a corner was bounced between Tyees and Panthers right on the goal line, until Emily Dreger was finally able to knock the ball passed the goalie. The rest of the half was a solid fight between the two teams, with Carihi holding the lead for a 3-2 victory and trip to the finals against
Brentwood. Going into the final game, knowing that Brentwood would definitely be the bigger challenge of the day and that the plate was on the line, assistant coach Greg Borrie decided to change up the defence line and have Madison Ashcroft play the sweeper position with Kamiya Iwamoto and Lidia Sanchez supporting on the wings. The ball was found in the feet of both teams throughout the entire game, with counter attacks after counter attacks, but Carihi held possession 90 per cent of the time, keeping the pressure in the Brentwood end. The first half was a stupendous effort by both teams to keep the score 0-0 going in to half time. T h e s e c on d h a l f though, favoured the Tyees. Skalik was moved higher in the midfield to take advantage of her preferred long shot from outside the 18 yard box,
while Charlie was placed further back to make an outlet pass available. Taking advantage of the new dimensions, the ball was moved quickly up the field to Skalik’s feet where she was able to blast the ball over the keepers head, opening the scoring and giving Carihi a leg up. Hard defence, lead by Alexis from the back, kept the Brentwood attacks at bay and nothing to be concerned about. Lisa Lloyd was able to help spread the lead by scoring a second goal and keeping the Tyee spirit up. The game ended with the girls running off the field with cheers of delight. A second place plaque was presented to Brentwood, and a plaque and the plate were both given to Kristine Osachuk and Morgan McDonald. MVP’s were given to each team in the tournament; Lisa Lloyd was the recipient for the Carihi team.
Storm D-man commits to Ohio University
Campbell River Storm defenseman Trent Johnson has committed to Ohio University for the 2015-16 season. The 5’10”, 154 pound blueliner, who grew up in Rochester, Michigan, joined the Storm last season. He had an outstanding rookie campaign, registering 10 goals and 34 assists in just 38 games. After a short stint with the New
Start your engines! Saratoga Speedway returns to action this weekend to kick off its 47th year of racing. The Hornet cars, Roadrunners, Crash to
Hampshire Monarchs of the EHL, he rejoined the Storm this year, scoring five times and adding 12 assists in 22 regular season games. He was also an integral part of the club’s playoff success, culminating with five points in six games at the Keystone Cup Championship tournament. “I can’t thank the Campbell River Storm
organization enough for what they have done for me in the past two years on and off the ice,” says Johnson, “I am very excited to start a new chapter in my hockey career at Ohio University next season.” The Ohio University Bobcats hockey club was founded in 1958 and compete in the American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA).
Bobcats head coach Sean Hogan is pleased to add a player with Johnson’s speed and skill to his lineup. “We are excited to land a defenseman of Trent’s caliber with such an offensive upside. He comes from a winning program with the Campbell River Storm and he will fit right into our culture here at OHIO Hockey.”
Pass cars, Figure 8’s and the Bomber cars will all make their season debuts this Saturday, all fighting for double points, with the evening capped off by an amazing fireworks show. After a month of
practicing, the evergrowing Hornet car class is ready to take to the track with more than 10 new rookie drivers entering the field this year. With more than 40 cars registered last season,
this year’s Hornet class is looking to continue that trend. The fan-favourite Crash to Pass class will also be the card this weekend, with yet another good field of cars entering the action.

CAMPBELL RIVER
BOOMERS & Beyond Retiree puts his faith in an Elf J.R. Rardon, Campbell River Mirror As he waited with anticipation on Christmas Eve, Pat Cole wasn’t hoping for goodies made in Santa’s workshop by elves. He wanted the actual elves. “I was hoping to have them by Christmas, but there was a delay in the shipment,” said Cole, a Campbell River retiree and former teacher and counselor. “I got them in at the end of January. What Cole “got in” was three distinctive Elf
cycles, a partially enclosed, three-wheeled recumbent cycle with electric motor assist. He has shown off one of the bright green vehicles on periodic jaunts around town, drawing double-takes and questions from passersby. “People will take out their cell phones and take pictures,” he said. “The most common question I get is probably, ‘What is it?’” What the Elf is seems to be is a point of conten-
tion among reviewers. The Wall Street Journal referred to it as an electric pedal car. USA Today called it a bike-car, Treehugger describes it as a solar-powered trike, Grist says it’s a velomobile, and MNN went with “solar powered bike-thing”. They are in almost universal agreement, however, that the Elf is one of the most energy-efficient, low-carbon transportation sources to hit the market outside of
Prescriptions filled.
Peace of mind included.
Campbell River retiree Pat Cole hopes to market the Elf, a three-wheeled, electric-assist cycle, on the North Island.
simple human power. Built by Organic Transit in Durham, North Carolina, the Elf can be run on pedal power alone, or draw upon a 750-watt electric motor that can be charged from a basic home outlet or through the solar panels built into the bike-car’s roof. “I was quite intrigued by the whole concept,” said Cole, who has lived in Campbell River for 10 years. “It’s an environmentally friendly, practical utility vehicle that can be used in lieu of, or in conjunction with, an automobile.”
Cole was so enamoured by the concept that he staked part of his retirement nest egg on a speculative chance that others will share his enthusiasm. With only the slimmest of experience in retail, he is hoping to distribute the Elf on the North Island as a local franchisee. “I’m retired,” said Cole. “And I wish I could fire myself from retirement and take it easy for a change. There’s just so much to do.” The company he formed to import the vehicles is called Atlas and the Elf. It de-
rives from the names of Cole’s black labrador and his new product. “I was hoping I’d have found homes for two of them by now,” he said. “With our climate here on the Island, you can drive them year-round. With some of the models you can put kids or a dog in the back. The storage area in the one-seater can carry 150 pounds.” On a recent sunny afternoon Cole drove his Elf from his home on Stratford Drive to downtown Campbell River. The versatility of the “bike-thing” was on display as he drove it on

BOOMERS & Beyond both the Island Highway and on the seawalk path fronting Robert Ostler Park. When in traffic, he can draw on the electric-motor assist to reach a speed of 20 miles per hour (approximately 32 km). Running on a bike path or downhill on the street, he can stick to straight pedal power. There are definite trade-offs to the Elf. In
terms of energy cost, it achieves the equivalent of 1,800 miles per gallon. And maintenance and repairs come through a bike shop, not an auto garage. On the other hand, the base rate for a single-seater is approximately $4,000 US, which in today’s economic climate gives it a price tag of about $5,000 Canadian. And that’s before you get into add-
ons or upgrade to the two-seater models. “Unfortunatly, 98 per cent of the population is not going to be buying an Elf,” Cole admits. “But I think it has so many areas of possibility.” And, while the electric-assist machine meets all the requirements to be considered a bicycle, its frame and shell give it a four-foot-wide footprint that makes it im-
practical on sidewalks and even many roadside bike lanes. “With the Elf you’re required to be on the street,” said Cole. “But I’m finding the only real interruption your going to get is people pulling up alongside and saying, ‘What is that?’ I’m getting more comfortable every time I go out.” Its heavy frame provides a level of safety,
and visibility to other traffic is no problem, as the Elf’s bulk is only slightly less than that of a Smart Car or Mini-Cooper. Indeed, only the Elf’s handlebar brakes and open floor offers assurance that you’re not looking at a tiny car. “Right now I’m promoting these and I have the option to sell, but I don’t know if it’s a long-
term thing for me,” said Cole, who gives his age as “beyond old; 99 going on 200. If it catches on maybe I can make this work, but my previous sales experience taught me I want to be cautious. “If I had really deep pockets maybe I could gamble a little. Unfortunately, I’m not in that position.”
From left, Pat Cole zips his Elf cycle through a downtown Campbell River intersection, pedals along the seawalk at Rober Ostler Park, and cruises on the Island Highway near the park.
Optimizing Brain Health to Prevent Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease By Dr. Ingrid Pincott
Well you would think that by the time you are a senior it is too late to prevent dementia or Alzheimer’s! Certainly the sooner a person adopts healthier lifestyles the better outcomes there are so, hopefully, this article is read by your children and grandchildren too! 1. If you are in a high risk group: African-
American and Hispanic, women (2/3rds are women) and over 65 then you should consider these steps carefully. 2. Exercise: Most neurologists are recommending exercise as the number one factor for optimizing brain health. Oxygen is important for the brain so walking daily is critical.
3. Environmental factors that may be contributing include: toxic metals load such as lead; artificial light; poor food quality resulting in nutrient deficiencies including copper, folate, vitamin B12 and D; sedentary lifestyles; stress contributing to oxidative stress; sleep deprivation, radiation exposure and prescription medications
such as proton pump inhibitors that deplete B12 and absorption of other nutrients. 4. Is there a test for it? There are some genetic snips that can be tested for. The most readily available is APOE4. However even though you have this snip, the expression of this gene can be inhibited with nutritional therapy.
5. What other possible causes are there? Viruses such as herpes simplex virus (HSV-1), accumulation of iron in the body, declining hormone levels and vascular dysfunction of the brain are also implicated. Alzheimer’s disease appears to be the consequence of several convergent factors
including oxidative stress, inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction and accumulation of toxic protein aggregates in and around neurons. Dr. Pincott N.D. will lecture on this topic at Berwick by the Sea on Tuesday May 5th at 1pm. Please RSVP Wendy at 250- 850-1353 as seating is limited.

Mine Reclamation
PREVIEW
Mine reclamation is a fundamental part of the mining life cycle in British Columbia.
With the varied geology, vast mineral resources and mining history, many exploration programs and/or mines have been opened, operated and closed in this province. Since 1969, mining companies have been required by law to reclaim all lands disturbed by mining. British Columbia was one of the first jurisdictions in Canada to enact mine reclamation legislation, and the first to extend this policy to exploration sites. Since then the Provincial Government has also required that companies post a reclamation security bond with the Ministry of Natural Resource Operations prior to work (exploration and mining) at any site. This security helps ensure that reclamation can occur without taxpayer dollars and is returned to the company only once it has reclaimed the land. Since the late 1960’s, approximately 45,412 hectares, or 0.05% of B.C.’s 95 million hectare land mass has been disturbed by major metal and coal mines. Of this, approximately 19,422 hectares (42%) has been reclaimed. Prior to 1969 legislation, there were historical mine sites that may not have been reclaimed. Public and private reclamation efforts have been occurring on some sites with documented safety or environmental water quality impacts such as the Britannia mine and Mt. Washington. Since 2004, the Ministry of Natural Resource Operations (formerly the Ministry of Agriculture and Lands) has undertaken remediation at 58 historic mines sites across BC and remediation is either underway or completed. Two of these projects received Special Category Reclamation Awards for excellence in reclamation from the TRCR in 2009. Each year the TRCR recognizes excellence in Mine Reclamation with its Jake McDonald Annual Reclamation Award and Category Reclamation Awards of Excellence. These awards are handed out annually to acknowledge outstanding achievement in mine reclamation in British Columbia. Since 1977, the TRCR was been communicating the lessons learned in environmental protection, mine reclamation/closure and sustainability endeavours through this diverse group of industry, consultants, government, academia, environmental groups and First Nations. For more information go to: www.trcr.bc.ca, www.miningfacts.org British Columbia Technical and Research Committee on Reclamation.

PREVIEW
Where there's Gold There's Fever Catherine Gilbert, Museum at Campbell River Not too long after gold fever had sent thousands rushing off to the Klondike, our region experienced its own mini boom. Stakes were claimed in Shoal Bay, on the eastern side of East Thurlow Island as early as 1884, and the island became a destination for prospectors. The settlement grew rapidly and by 1897, Shoal Bay had two stores and two hotels and an estimated population of 1500. In that same year, it was incorporated as a town and plans were drawn up for a townsite. Union Steamships from Vancouver stopped by four times a week, making the town a veritable hub for those who lived in the region. Above: Lucky Jim Mine, 1911 Quadra Island. Below: Western Mines, (Myra Falls) mine entrance 1966 south end of Buttle Lake.
By 1913, a school was opened, the government dock was built and a telephone line was run from Shoal Bay to the forestry station at Thurston Bay on Sonora Island and to Rock Bay on Vancouver Island. It was a promising beginning; however, once mining dwindled Shoal Bay went the way of so many gold rush communities and the townsite was never developed.
Gold was also found on Quadra Island, with the earliest stakes being claimed in 1901, resulting in the development of the Lucky Jim Mine, which was in operation until 1911. Small amounts of gold were also discovered in Bedwell Sound on Vancouver Island around the turn of the last century, but were deemed not worth exploiting. Later in the 1930s, gold was mined in Zeballos on the west coast of Vancouver Island and operations continued up to the commencement of World War II. With miners leaving to fight in the war, the mines closed in 1942. Although there are still a few individual prospectors who sift for gold in the Oyster River, the days of the great rush appear to be over, and have given way to larger mines like the one operated by Nyrstar and situated at Myra Falls in Strathcona Provincial Park; where gold has been mined since 1966 along with other valuable minerals.

Spirit of heritage embodied in whale carving KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
A
n entire school of children watches in fascination as two members of the Campbell River Indian Band circle an old cedar log outside Miracle Beach Elementary. Patrick Hunt is performing a traditional First Nations blessing on the wood to ensure a smooth process for carver Brad Roberts who will be transforming the cedar stump into a pole featuring a grey whale. The carving will mark the 30th anniversary of the school which sits on the traditional lands of the K’ómoks First Nation. Sherry Laffling, principal of Miracle Beach Elementary, said the pole will not only celebrate the milestone but is also a nod to the school’s culture and heritage. “It’s for the 30th
anniversary of Miracle Beach school but also to recognize and celebrate the diversity of the school,” Laffling says. “Approximately 30 students are of aboriginal ancestry and we want to acknowledge that part of our school.” Roberts, who is donating his time to carve the pole, said he chose a grey whale because it fits in with the theme of the school which has a large grey whale skeleton suspended from the roof just beyond the front doors. “This is a grey whale crazy school,” says Roberts, who intends to begin carving in the first week of May. He expects, with the help of some trusty assistants, to finish the carving within a couple of weeks. “There’s things like sanding and painting that I’ll need some assistants for,” Roberts says. “I’ll get the kids to help with anything that I feel
I can hand over. Once you touch it, everybody has a hands-on experience and it gives it a
more unique sense of partnership.” And Roberts knows a thing or two about
collaboration. His first gig was as an assistant on a pole his grandfather William Roberts,
a former chief of the Campbell River Indian Band, carved more than 25 years ago. The pole,
Natasha Pereszlenyi. The pageant is being put together by the Timberline Student Leadership class, a group that meets once a week before school starts. Pereszlenyi, a member of Student Leadership, is heavily involved in putting together the event. “We plan all the events that take place at school, things like pep rallies and spirit days,” she said. “Really anything that betters the commu-
nity and the school.” The first Mr. Timberline pageant was held in 2003, and was based on previous pageants that had been held at Southgate Middle School in the 1990s. But Mr. Timberline is more than a sprit event—it’s primarily a fundraiser, and a different charity to support is chosen every year. Previous pageants have raised funds for ALS, cystic fibrosis, and cancer. One year’s funds
even went towards building an orphanage in Bolivia.This year, the funds are being raised for the Vancouver Island Crisis Society for their work in suicide prevention. “Because it’s something that affects high school students,” said Pereszlenyi. “The whole class came up with the idea together.” “All the fundraisers are inspired by a Timberline family affected in some
way,” said Timberline teacher and Student Leadership mentor Terry Philp. “This one was for students really being (impacted) by suicides over the past few years.” The Vancouver Island Crisis Society will be represented at the school on the night of the pageant, and will accept a cheque at the end of the event. With the show a month away, all the
male contestants and their female managers have been secured. The beauty pageant will involve three segments: a formal wear portion, an active wear portion, and a talent show. Many of the Mr. Timberline contestants have chosen nicknames including “Mr. Overconfident,” “Mr. Satisfaction,” and “Mr. Steal Ya Girl.” Previous pageants are available for viewing on YouTube, but Pereszle-

which features a grey whale and which stands outside the Thunderbird Hall, has since been re-built and nieces and nephews have had a hand in painting and sanding. Like Roberts’ grandfather’s pole, Miracle Beach’s carving is a partnership in its own rite. The eight foot red cedar came from the West Coast of Vancouver Island near Queen’s Cove on Ehattesaht First Nation territory and was donated by Aat’uu Forestry which is owned by the Ehattesaht First Nation. TimberWest facilitated the transport of the log. Roberts said the trip took about four hours before coming to rest just outside the front doors of Miracle Beach Elementary. He said he looks forward to the having the students helping and coming to watch as he transforms the cedar into a legacy for the school.

imberline Secondary School will be putting on a show with the upcoming “Mr. Timberline” Charity Pageant.

The school will hold a few promotional events over the week to raise awareness of the event and to help draw a crowd. “The lineup of guys is very diverse,” said Philp. “There are representatives from pretty

The local auxiliary was cited for its partnership with Campbell River Arts Council on the Art in the Hospital project, for the purchase of a parking shuttle van to serve patients and visitors during construction of the new hospital, and for creating a comfortable study/meeting area for student doctors. “For the auxiliary, patient care and comfort isn’t just about the building or about things, it’s about being engaged in the community,” Campbell River Hospital site director Christina Rozema wrote in a memo to

COOK Janette Mable (Carswell) August 30, 1942 - March 13, 2015 It is with great sorrow we announce the passing of our wife, mother and Nana, Janette Mable Cook. After a lengthy health battle, she passed away peacefully on March 13th. Jan is survived by her husband Chuck, daughter Annalisa and granddaughter Charlie. As a young adult, Jan lived an exciting life hiding cigarettes in her majorette boots while majoretting for the BC Lions and working at Vancouver General Hospital. Then she moved to Vancouver Island where she met Chuck. Together they had almost 50 fantastic years, and many overseas adventures. As a mom, Jan dedicated a million hours to sewing sequins and really early morning commutes to the rinks. She was a large part of both the Campbell River and Courtenay Skating Clubs. Jan put everything she had in to her family and extended her friendship to many over the years. As a Nana her world revolved around spoiling Charlie on day shopping trips and many fun adventures. Charlie misses playing playdough with Nana at the kitchen table as well as her “Nana Cuddles”. To the strongest woman you will ever know. Rest in peace Mom, you may be gone but you will never be forgotten. We love you to the moon and back. The family would like to thank the staff of the Campbell River Hospital for the support and understanding. A celebration of life will be held on Sunday May 17 at 871 Kalmar Road from 1:00pm to 3:00pm.

WITTON, Vimy Jane (neé Murray)
June 21, 1917 - April 4, 2015 Saturday, April 4, Vimy passed away peacefully at the Hamlets in Kamloops, B.C. at the age of 97 years. Predeceased by her husband Robert in 1994 and by her five sisters, Alice, May, Joan, Cora, and Jessie. Vimy is fondly remembered by her daughters, Eleanor (Trevor, deceased), Janet (Chuck) and son Jim and by her three grandchildren, Jennifer (Alex), Michael (Mimi), Natasha (Gerald) and her great-grandsons, Ryder and Wyatt and her many nieces and nephews. Vimy, the third daughter of Frank Murray and Laura Horner Murray, grew up in Kinsella, Alberta. As a young teenager Vimy began working at the Red and White Store, the general store in Kinsella. Vimy had a strong work ethic from an early age. The store was purchased in 1936 by Seth Witton, father of the young man Vimy married in 1938. Robert and his brother Lloyd operated the store together at first. In 1945 Vimy, Robert, and 3-year old Eleanor Ann moved to Zeballos on Vancouver Island. They ran the Zeballos General Store for 31 years and then retired to a much drier climate. While in Zeballos, Vimy became an insurance adjuster and saved all her earnings. Later on, when Robert and Vimy began their world travels she proudly bought the tickets. Vimy and Robert retired to Kelowna in 1977 and began wintering in the southern United States. Generosity to her family and friends was important to Vimy. She highly valued her friendships and made a point of keeping in touch. Vimy was always a well-dressed woman of great class and poise. She was hardworking, strong, and faithful. She was a dedicated bridge player all her life. We extend a special thank-you to the Hamlets in Kamloops and their committed and caring staff. All family and friends are invited to a Celebration of Vimy's Life at 2 pm. Saturday, May 9, at First Memorial Funeral Services at #8-177 Tranquille St., Kamloops, B.C. Cremation has already taken place. Flowers are gratefully declined. If you wish to make a donation in memory of Vimy consider the hospital in your community. Vimy generously supported both the Zeballos Hospital and Kelowna General Hospital. Condolences may be left at www.firstmemorialkamloops.com Arrangements entrusted to First Memorial Funeral Services, Kamloops BC (250) 554 2429.

It takes more than tough talk
T
Tammy Bortoletto knows what it takes to defeat depression and that’s why she likes to share her experiences struggling with the disease. She will also be taking part in the Defeat Depression Walk on May 24 and encourages others to help by walking the walk.
ammy Bortoletto knows a lot about defeating depression. She has lived with it for the past 20 years. And that’s why she will be volunteering at the third Annual Defeat Depression Walk on Sunday, May 24 at Ostler Park. Bortoletto first experienced depression when she was in her 30’s as a result of being in a bad marriage. She has also suffered physical health problems since she was a young child. In more recent years, neurological issues resulted in the loss of use of her right hand, and the loss of work, leading to depression as well. Throughout her life, Bortoletto has been admitted to the psychiatric ward at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Comox several times, and she has also attempted suicide a few times.
It took a long time for Bortoletto to seek out help for her depression because of the stigma surrounding mental illness, past negative experiences with physicians, and her family’s attitude. Friends often dismissed her depression, saying things like ‘let’s go out and get your mind off it.’ “I thought I had to deal with it myself, it was the way I was raised, you deal with things on your own,” she said. “Because of all the sickness I had growing up, Mom would say “You’re tough, you can handle it!’” Now Bortoletto has advice to share with others. “Seek out professional help, don’t take as long as I did,” she said. “There’s such a thing as being too stubborn. “ But she noted doing activities that make you feel good also helps, whether it’s going for
a walk, talking with a friend, swimming or singing karaoke, some of her personal favourites. Bortoletto also enjoys volunteering and helping others. “I like working with people in general, it brings my spirits up,” she said. “Sometimes you have to force yourself to do things to make yourself well. Doctors can only do so much, eventually you have to help yourself.” Bortoletto has a clinician at Campbell River Mental Health and Substance Use, has a doctor she likes and has been a member of the Campbell River Beacon Club for 12 years. “My recovery has a lot to do with the club,” she said. “When I come here, people understand. Talking with staff, telling jokes, interacting with people, helps me get out of my depression. It’s a place to come
to feel safe, no one is judging you.” At the clubhouse you can find her making others laugh, giving hugs and volunteering. And on May 24 you will find her helping with the Defeat Depression Walk. Everyone is welcome to participate, including families and pets. Businesses and organizations wishing to sponsor the event or donate a prize can contact Robyn Ellsworth at 250-2868828 or campbellriver@ defeatdepression.ca Registration is at 9:30 a.m. and the four kilometre walk begins at 11 a.m. Participants can walk/run/cycle four km to Sequoia Park and back to Ostler Park. Refreshments will be served after the event at the longhouse. To register, donate or purchase merchandise go to mdsc.akaraisin.com/ CampbellRiverDD2015
What you need to know about oral cancer and human papilloma virus The Comox Valley Dental Hygiene Society is offering Free Oral Cancer Screenings to the public May 2, 2015 from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. in Courtenay and Campbell River. Dr. Paul Helpard is providing the society with a clinical setting at Shoreline Orthodontics in both communities – in Courtenay at 1520 Cliffe Ave, Suite 100 and in Campbell River at 520 2nd Ave, Suite 200. Funding for this project is provided by the Comox Valley Dental Hygiene Society and a grant from the Brit-
ish Columbia Dental Hygienists’ Association. There are two distinct pathways by which people tend to be diagnosed with oral cancer. One is through the use of tobacco and alcohol, which is the long-term historic problem and cause. The other is through exposure to HPV – Human Papilloma Virus – which is the most commonly transmitted sexual virus in the U.S. and likely the world. HPV oral cancers and tobacco/ alcohol oral cancer produce very different signs and symptoms and the
treatment for each type of cancer is different as well. HPV is the leading cause of oropharyngeal cancers (the area at the back of your mouth/ throat and the base of you tongue). There are nearly 200 strains of HPV. HPV #16 is the version most responsible for oropharyngeal cancers affecting males and females. Incidentally HPV # 16 is also responsible for 95 per cent of cervical cancers in women. Most at risk for oropharyngeal cancers are white, non-

Yoga studio to move into new Healthway building KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Ocean Mountain Yoga is on the move. Owners Dawn Pomponio and Lorna Seldon Burd announced last week that their yogo studio will be re-located to an upstairs studio above the brand-new Healthyway Natural Foods. The yoga studio and health food store are to be part of a health centre being built on the corner of Cedar Street and 11th Avenue, in the
former Uptown Willie’s Cafe. Seldon Burd says Ocean Mountain Yoga signed the lease this month and she and Pomponio are looking forward to moving into their new home over the summer. “The idea of combining yoga and healthy food has long been an ideal of mine for the past couple of years and I have been on the look out for a suitable, affordable location for us to bring both together,” Seldon Burd
says. “This is the perfect match. Healthway Natural Foods has been the pioneers of their area of business in Campbell River and they are committed to supporting local growers and producers. Nutrition is a natural continuation of yoga practice – being aware of how you sustain and nourish your body is equally important as to how you stretch and strengthen it.” The yoga studio will complement the health
store downstairs which is expected to include a small juice bar and cafe with a seating area. There are also plans for outdoor seating which will be contained within a cedar-framed structure adjacent to the sidewalk. Will and Donna Pakosz, owners of Healthway, told city council last October – when they applied for a development permit for the new site – that they’re eager to move their business from their current location

future development on the property we own. We want to get our business moved in and then (we can) look for future possibilities down the road.” As for Seldon Burd, she’s excited to be a part of the revitalization.
“We are looking forward to combing our areas of expertise and coming up with information sessions and fun workshops,” she said. “This will be a wonderful renaissance for the central downtown area of Campbell River.”

Fire fighters open fire hall to the public Interested in learning about fire rescue? On Saturday, May 9, the Campbell River Fire Department will host its annual open house – and everyone’s invited. Join them between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the main fire hall, downtown at 675-13th Ave. “Once again, there will be lots of fun and exciting opportunities for families. Come try the popular 75-foot ladder climb, the hose and target challenge, and get some hands-on time with the hydraulic rescue tool,” says deputy fire chief Thomas Doherty. “And get the kids ready for a photo-op because we’ll have a photo booth where they can dress up in firefighting gear.” In addition to the many interactive events, firefighters will provide a live demonstration with the Jaws of Life at 11 a.m., followed by a high-angle rescue simulation at 1 p.m. “This year’s open house occurs during Emergency Prepared-

Campbell River woman takes up challenge for a good cause KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Laurel Sliskovic insists she’s no runner. But watching her steady gait as she jogs up Hilchey Road you’d never know it. “I just started training on Sunday,” Sliskovic says. “I’m planning to run three to four days a week. I’m just running slow, I’m not racing by any stretch of the imagination.” While getting into shape is an added bonus, there’s a greater motivation for Sliskovic to keep up her new running regimen. She has committed to run the Frogger 15K, a fun run hosted by Greenways Land Trust to raise awareness and funding for the completion of the 25 kilometre Greenways Loop – a pedestrian and cycling route that circles Campbell River and includes the Beaver Lodge Lands, the Sea Walk and the Jubilee Connector. The final stage of the loop is designed but awaiting funding and is intended to stretch from the Campbell River sign at Jubilee Parkway to Maryland Drive, where the Sea Walk ends. This year marks the third annual edition of the Frogger 15 K which takes participants from Spirit Square to the ERT Road, through the Beaver Lodge Lands and back to Spirit Square. This year’s run takes place on Saturday, Sept. 19 and registration for the event has just opened. In years past, Sliskovic has volunteered with day-of set up at the Frogger 15K and helped out at the relay transition area. This year she’s decided to tackle the challenge

head-on and run the entire course. “It’s definitely a challenge but it’s fun and I already feel like I’m part of a new club,” Sliskovic says. “It’s encouraging me to get outside and be active. I ride my bike, I’m a fairly active person but I haven’t ever run. It’s kind of a personal challenge but also to raise the awareness of the race and to let people know that anyone can start running.” Sliskovic has been a supporter of Greenways Land Trust, a charitable organization established in 1996 to help maintain the Beaver Lodge Lands, since she moved to Campbell River two and a half years ago. She began volunteer-
ing with the organization after recognizing the work Greenways does to protect the local streams, nature trails and other natural areas and critical habitats. “Greenways does a
lot of great work for the community and I was looking for volunteer ways that I could give back,” Sliskovic says. “We had talked about them wanting to raise the profile of the Frogger 15K. Last year there were just over 100 participants and they want more people to participate.” As an ambassador for the run, Sliskovic is posting weekly progress updates on her training on the Greenways Land Trust Facebook page. She’s also posting tips for runners, whether it be items she’s researched online or advice she’s gotten from others. “I read online that if you’re trying to get into running it’s a good idea to commit to a race,” Sliskovic says. “It’s just that added level of commitment.” And for those starting out who may find it a bit too daunting to tackle 15 kilometres, there’s a relay option. Instead of running the entire 15 kilometres, a team of three can sign up with each participant running five kilometres of the route. Anyone interested in registering for the event can sign up online through the Greenways

Giving parents a chance CLAIRE BILLINGS CARIHI MIRROR
E
very community has hidden gems, places and people that make the lives of those around them easier. Campbell River is certainly no exception to that. Gwen Bennett and the rest of the staff at Cari’s Infant and Toddler center are a few of those local gems.
Cari’s has been providing daycare for infants and toddlers for 22 years. Located on the property of Carihi Secondary School, the centre is instrumental in allowing young parents to continue their education. Bennett explains that Cari’s offers the childcare component of Campbell River’s Young Parent program. About one-quarter of the spots available at Cari’s are
used for students’ continuing education; the other spots are available for working parents or children with special needs. “Cari’s daycare has given me a better chance with my education by caring for my baby while I focus on my schooling,” says Katie Crombie. “The ladies at Cari’s are always so nice to talk to. They give me tips, listen to how bad of a night I had, and I trust

them fully with my son.” The families at Cari’s have come from a wide spectrum. Bennett explains that they care for children coming from less fortunate families, busy families, working families and your everyday families. Cari’s offers support for all the parents. “Being a teenager is hard in the first place,” says Bennett. “Becoming a parent adds a different dimension of challenges.” The support offered at Cari’s ranges from monthly visits from a public health nurse to having an infant development consultant available for parents. They even go so far as to have a grocery cupboard available for the hungry and perhaps less fortunate parents. Cari’s Infant and Toddler centre has support from various different groups and organizations in Campbell River, however, as a community you can all help support the formation of a daycare system in our province simply by signing the “10 dollar a day plan” online petition. As of right now, daycare is not designated to one ministry. Some believe it is a forgotten service and it’s time to change that so that all kids and parents can have trustworthy daycare options like Cari’s.
Carihi student Katie Crombie relies on Cari’s childcare centre to care for her son Tristan Crombie.

Epidemic of trash dumping on Campbell River’s backroads CHEYLYN LOUGHEED CARIHI MIRROR
The issue of illegal dumping is piling up on Campbell River’s back roads and it’s only getting worse. It’s becoming common along the logging roads surrounding Campbell River to find waste, such as food products, useless appliances, and animal carcasses tossed aside near entrances and forks in the road. Not only is it unpleas-
ant to look at, it’s also an environmental issue, as toxic products can poison local wildlife, rivers and lakes, and discarded game can attract larger animals, such as bears and possibly cougars, to waste sites and other populated areas. Dumping continues despite obvious signs and postings, which warn of Campbell River’s Environmental Bylaw (Bylaw No. 3551) which states a possible fine of $10,000 to those who threaten
People continue to use Campbell River’s backroads as dumping grounds.

clean up the mess, and other locals have helped by tidying up whenever they can. Cam Lougheed, a local who frequents the back roads, describes the dumping as “epidemic.” “It’s not just household garbage, it’s also construction waste,” Lougheed says. “These are possibly people that are making money, and not disposing of the waste properly like they tell their customers.”
Lougheed encourages those who do find personal information within the waste to report it to the proper authorities. “It’s an eyesore. It’s dangerous,” he says. “I just don’t get it.” There are several popular dumping sites within the forests that surround Campbell River, with each site containing an estimated two tons of garbage. These spots include John Hart Lake (one of Campbell River’s water
reservoirs), the roads surrounding Campbell River’s Motocross track, and Duncan Bay Main, which is estimated to have an estimated 10 tons of garbage. Campbell River’s Waste Management Centre can be found on Argonaut Road off the Gold River Highway, and information on how to help reduce the illegal waste on the back roads can be found on the Island Forest Stewards Facebook page.

Carihi students spend 14 days of adventure in Paris GRETA HAMILTON CARIHI MIRROR
Over spring break while some students lay in bed disturbing their sleep cycles and watching reruns of Bobs Burgers, 17 French immersion students traveled to Paris through a school exchange. Students visited sites such as Notre-Dame, the Eiffel Tower, the Paris Opera, the Louvre museum, the Arc de Triomphe, and the Champs Elysees (a very popular shopping strip); they cruised down the Seine River on boat tour, and even visited the Chateau de Versailles. How does such a romantic and memorable trip come about for

exchange is evident because of the contrast between Campbell River and Paris. We’re incomparable,” Vaillancourt says. “The new world and the old world, the forest and whales versus architectural monuments. The exchange is also successful because everything we learn in class is suddenly alive. And there’s the magic of making a new friend. One of the kids in our group was saying goodbye by doing ‘la bise’(the kiss on both cheeks required as a greeting in France). It’s charming. The students come home full of expressions and culture. I think it’s these experiences that really complete a language program.”
exchange. Students travel to Paris to stay with host families for 14 days. During the day the Canadian students attend school with their billets to get a grasp on the French school system. In the evenings the Canadian students visit monuments and museums, then return to their host families for supper and on weekends, which is the heart of the project. This way, students gain perspective on being a student as well as learn the culture through their families. It’s an integration that Vaillancourt says “requires bravery. A lot sometimes.” “I think the success of this
Nothing succeeds like success. In creating new businesses, or growing existing businesses, what best leads to successes is delivering a dynamic training and mentoring program that has been proven to yield measurable results. For entrepreneurs, and would-be entrepreneurs, “Build My Business Together” provides a comprehensive training program steeped in real world business knowhow, delivered by successful businesspeople, and tailored very much to the ideas, dreams and hopes of Aboriginal entrepreneurs. This program (run elsewhere in BC) has
But for students from Paris coming to Campbell River, the experience is entirely different. Students get to enjoy the outdoors, and the majesty of being surrounded by mountains, forest, and endless ocean all at once. “The intention is to create connections that will surpass the educational program,” Vaillancourt says. “It teaches students that a language program isn’t just mastering verb conjugation worksheets.” The students that traveled to Paris over spring break will never forget their experiences, and this program certainly brings added culture and opportunity to students in Campbell River.
already graduated hundreds of participants and created dozens of exciting new businesses. “Build My Business Together” is a three month program. Participants who are accepted into the newly-launched NEDC program attend workshops and receive quality, unlimited oneo n - o n e m e nt o r i n g focused on their business or ideas. Aside from standard business training modules, ranging from business planning and marketing, to budgeting and finance, every real-world aspect of business is thoroughly covered. Topics include rewards and risks, business idea strengths and
weaknesses, Aboriginal cultural issues and opportunities, the business mindset, the pleasures (and pains) of entrepreneurship, and, most importantly, business survival and success skills. Virtual workshops and mentoring (via Skype) will also be delivered to any interested participant who cannot attend in person. The Campbell River Information Workshop will be held May 14 at the Campbell River Community Centre. Two sessions will be held: 11 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. and 6 – 7:30 p.m. Contact Jay at buildmybusinesstogether@gmail.com or 1-250-619-3450.
