Homeless camp gets city’s attention Tents pitched on city hall lawn to protest cuts to homeless programs J.R. RARDON CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A group of Campbell River’s homeless took both city officials and homeless advocates by surprise when they erected an impromptu protest camp on the lawn of city hall Thursday evening. “I had no idea. This is an initiative they’ve taken on themselves,” said Paul Mason, program manager at the Campbell River Housing Resource Centre. “But I’m not shocked. There’s nowhere for them to go. Wherever they go, they get moved on.” The camp broke up Sunday, after the homeless delegation secured delegate status at the upcoming June 22 meeting of city council. The protesters are calling for the city to get more involved in solutions to what they see as an escalating crisis for the homeless since the closure of the extreme-weather shelter in March. In addition to the loss of the secure overnight sleeping shelter, provincial funds that provided a free breakfast program were tied to the shelter and are no longer available. “The loss of that funding did provide some financial challenges for a variety of organizations,” Mayor Andy Adams said Friday afternoon. “Today was the first time we knew about that. I’m not sure we’re in a position, financially, to do anything about it, but council does consistently lobby on behalf of support

organizations for federal and provincial funding.” Patricia John, who organized the protest camp, said a year-round, low-barrier shelter is crucial to the safety and well-being of Campbell

River’s street people. Such a shelter was identified as a need by the recently disbanded Homelessness Coalition, which will be replaced by a community based committee funded in part through

Island Health. “A lot of funding and resources have been cut short,” said John. “The main one is the breakfast, but also we need an emergency shelter. Anywhere we sleep we get kicked out or

run off. It’s getting harder for us all the time.” John said the tipping point that led her to take action was the death in late April of Florence Jean Drake.

The Van Isle 360 yacht race pulled into Discovery Passage Monday afternoon as the racers completed the second leg of the 15-day around Vancouver Island classic. The first vessel to arrive in Campbell River was the speedy catamaran Dragonfly. High wind conditions powered the vessels on the 27.6 km leg of the race and the Discovery Pier was the best place to watch them arrive, tacking up the northern end of the Strait of Georgia.

John said she found Drake, a friend and fellow homeless woman, on the ground in an alley behind Chances Casino. “She was still alive,” said John. “But before the emergency workers could help her, she passed.” John rallied a small delegation of homeless to check out tents from the Radiant Life soup kitchen Thursday afternoon. With several supporters, including Radiant Life Church paster Art Van Horst, they pitched four tents on the sloping lawn in front of city hall as staffers departed at the end of the day. “We’re trying to find a positive solution to alleviate the homeless problem,” said Von Horst. “The city needs to be part of that solution.” They campers said they would stay at city hall until the mayor came out to meet with them and address their concerns. But Adams was just returning from a 10-day trip to China and spent much of Friday in previouslyscheduled meetings. Further, half of council was away at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ annual convention in Edmonton, including Ron Kerr and Michele Babchuk, the two councillors who served on the recentlydisbanded homelessness coalition. The camp was allowed to stay for three nights, and a public works employee even came to turn off the sprinklers Thursday night to keep the protesters from getting soaked. Police also arrived Thursday, but kept to the perimeter and did not confront the campers. “They were just monitoring us, making sure we were all right,” said John. A number of supporters arrived, bearing food and playing music. More food was brought for breakfast Friday morning, when John and a small delegation met with city clerk Peter Wipper. In the absence of the mayor and council, Wipper walked the protesters through the steps to appear as a delegation before council June 22. John called the meeting a positive step, but said the camp would remain into the weekend to make a statement. “We would like to see more done,” she said. “We want our voices heard. We have nothing but what we need for survival, and that’s being taken away.”

Unionized workers at New Horizons senior care facility in Campbell River have voted overwhelmingly to authorize a strike, but the employer has forestalled any job action by promptly applying for mediation. Members of the Hospital Employees Union (HEU) voted May 26 to approve the job action against CareCorp, the contractor that manages the complex care home. The employees are seeking higher pay and say they are paid less than workers at comparable care homes in the province. “ T h e n e x t d a y, CareCorp applied for S ection 55 mediation process,” said Neil Monckton, HEU spokesman. The union is unable to take strike action while

under the Section 55 process, which applies to employers and unions establishing a first contract. The employees joined the union in November and have been working without a contract since. The union’s bargaining unit, CareCorp officials and the Labour Relations Board met June 2 with mediator Christina Bains, and additional meetings were scheduled for this week. “I’m not sure if those will go ahead because the two sides were still far apart on June 2,” said Monckton. HEU employees at another CareCorp facility, Sunridge Place in Duncan, are also in strike position after voting 97 per cent in favour of authorizing a job action. The conflict is just the latest in an ongoing struggle between the employees and owners

and contractors at New Horizons and other facilities operated by CareCorp. In December of 2013, New Horizon’s unionized employees were given a 90-day layoff notice and informed by owner Park Place that it was going to contract out operations. After CareCorp took over management in May 2014, it rehired many of the former employees in a non-union capacity — at a substantially reduced rate of compensation in pay and benefits. At the time, HEU spokesman Mike Old said the employees could apply to rejoin the union — they did so in a November vote — but cautioned that companies had a history of “flipping” care providers. That view seemed borne out last month when 230 employees at another CareCorp facility in West Vancou-

ver were issued layoff notices effective May 31. The layoffs followed the announcement that CareCorp was terminating its agreement with the Inglewood Care Centre’s owner, Unicare. The termination came during first contract negotiations between CareCorp and HEU, precisely where the New Horizons employees stand today. “Many of these folks were hired back from the previous crew at lower wages, so compensation is the sticking point right now,” said Monckton. “But another impact of these kinds of contracts in private facilities is creating higher turnover that impacts the quality of care for these residents. “If you’re not churning through employees, you’d get the care quality you’d expect from a longterm care facility.”

Cyclist succumbs to injuries suffered in collision A cyclist involved in a collision June 4 at 12th and Greenwood succumbed to her injuries, Sgt. Terry Deley of the Campbell River RCMP said. The Campbell River RCMP and BC Ambulance responded to a report of a collision

involving a truck and a cyclist at the intersection of 12th Avenue and Greenwood Street last Thursday at 10 a.m. Upon arrival at the scene, a female cyclist was found suffering from very serious injuries as a result of the crash, Staff Sgt. Troy Beauregard

said. The cyclist was treated by BC Ambulance personnel and taken to Campbell River General Hospital. Collision investigators examined the scene to determine exactly what occurred. Preliminary investigation suggests that the

cyclist failed to stop at a stop sign and crossed in front of the path of the truck, Beauregard said. The cyclist was not wearing a helmet. No name has been released pending notification of next of kin. The collision is being investigated by the RCMP.

Police enforce boating regulations on local lakes The Campbell River RCMP along with the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue will once again be conducting summer boating enforcement on area recreational lakes. Campbell River RCMP conducted the first of what will be regular recreational boating patrols and enforcement at McIvor and Lower Campbell Lake on the weekend. Boaters were pleased

to see a police presence on the water, Staff Sgt. Troy Beauregard said. In total, two charges were laid and 14 Notice and Orders (warnings) were written. The fine amount for these offences is the equivalent of $7,000. Police are reminding boaters are reminded to adhere to safe boating practices, have all required safety equipment and to not operate a vessel while impaired. Each year British Colum-

bians are killed or injured on our waterways as a result of negligent boating actions. Police will be taking a zero tolerance stance specifically for safety infractions, unsafe operation of vessels and impaired boating. Common infractions include: n No proof of proficiency on board (PCOC or equivalent) n Safety equipment v i o l at i o n s ( n o / n o t enough life jackets, no

signalling device, no bailer, no heaving line) n No vessel registration n Towing without spotter n Dangerous operation n Impaired Operation Refer to the Safe Boating Guide or visit the Transport Canada website to ensure that you are properly equipped for your type of vessel before you get on the water.

Our View

Mackay’s departure shows sorry state of Canadian politics Last week, federal Justice Minister Peter MacKay announced his intended departure from politics with Prime Minister Stephen Harper at his side. MacKay becomes the latest on a worrying list of Conservative cabinet ministers to head to potentially greener pastures in recent months. Since his retirement in February, John Baird, the former foreign affairs minister, is sitting pretty on Barrick Gold Corp.’s international advisory board, as a director with Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. and as an investment advisor to a Chinese billionaire. MacKay, rather than hint at lucrative opportunities in the private sector, instead focused on his family as the reason for departure. (A cynic might argue that the 49-year-old was partly motivated by about $1.3 million in pension benefits that he otherwise wouldn’t have been able claim under new MP We say: Minister’s to retirement rules passed string of unconin 2013. Those rules stitutional bills a will mean all politicians elected after the next sad legacy election must wait until age 65, up from age 55, before they can draw a pension.) National Post columnist Andrew Coyne delivered a brilliant and succinct piece about MacKay’s time in power on the weekend. Breezing over the minister’s memorable moments – dating the Conservative-toLiberal defector Belinda Stronach, using a military helicoptor for a fishing trip, overseeing the botched F-35 procurement file – Coyne’s most poignant summary went as follows: “... (MacKay) was responsible for shepherding a number of bills through Parliament that seemed almost designed to be found unconstitutional, even as Justice department lawyers were losing case after case at the Supreme Court. Other than that, there isn’t a great deal to say.” But there is so much to say about the broken state of Canadian politics. The outcome of the Alberta election, if it foreshadows anything about the public’s mood towards the relentless Harper-MulcairTrudeau battle, reveals a country that perhaps has finally seen through the Conservative’s false claim that Canada will economically crumble if another party gains power. (As a side note, Harper’s transparent messaging has switched of late from Strong on the Economy to the supposed dangers of the outside world and the imminent threat of terrorism.) As Coyne points out, MacKay was mostly a blip on the political screen, trotting proudly beside a leader who continues to reshape our country into a thing desired mostly by bankers and investors, spooks and multinationals. Perhaps MacKay is disillusioned, as many Canadians are, by Harper’s relentless agenda. Perhaps the minister senses that change is in the wind, a view held by many political strategists who understand that the Canadian public likely can’t stomach the rapid deviations on environmental and social policies whipped through Parliament under the guise of safety and economic viability. The public’s mood will remain cynical until the October election, and Harper cabinet dropouts like MacKay are simply adding fuel to that fire. – Black Press

Mural made of awful stuff At first glance, the Phoenix Middle School table set up for Saturday’s Ocean’s Day celebration seemed to feature a whimsical mural depicting the life forms found along B.C.’s beaches. In reality, the mural was garbage. That’s not to denigrate the artistic skills of the youngsters and their adult helpers, who created a brightly painted, multi-layered and creative portrayal of kelp, crabs, fish, sea stars, waterfowl and more. The creatures cavorted on a colourful backdrop of shoreline, oceanfront and tidal pools. Which is precisely where the students collected all the trash used to make the mural. World Ocean’s Day is recognized in communities in many parts of the world. It has become particularly popular in British Columbia, where organizers throughout coastal com-

and environmental stewards from Greenways Land Trust and the Dogwood Initiative. The message of Ocean’s Day is to keep the oceans free of the tonnes of trash that are dropped or that flow into them each year. The Phoenix students took that message to heart. Their mural was created with garbage collected in a series of beach clean-up events in Campbell River. To drive the point home, a look behind the mural revealed multiple totes of additional trash which did not make the cut for the art project, or simply proved to much to fit into it. Yes, creative minds can turn beach trash into replicas of marine life. But if you want to see a real work of art, it’s hard to beat the view of a trash-free waterfront. jr.rardon@campbellrivermirror.com

Are political parties a threat to Canada’s democratic traditions?

Re: OUR VIEW: Election amendment law not needed An election is in the air and behind the scenes, much activity is afoot. The pundits are turning up their rhetoric and the back groom boys are filling the air with both smoke and mirrors. Yes folks, the band will soon arrived in River City. Meanwhile, the current provincial government is busy passing a law that will allow your voter attendance (or lack thereof) to be recorded and available to the various political parties to store in their electronic memory banks. The secret part of our secret vote is rapidly being chipped away by those who gather much information, all of which is analyzed, sorted, stacked and utilized in times to come to determine where you stand with respect to ideas, opinions and most importantly of all, how you should best be targeted to allow them to get you to vote and to vote for them. Nothing much new here, you say? Well, just maybe there is. If select, specific, information can be directed to you in your snail mail, email and telephone and door-to-door delivery,

will you have a chance to get a balanced view of just what each part truly stands for? Will you be able to really tell whether or not they are just telling you that they have determined you want to hear as opposed to the message they give to your neighbour? The privacy commissioner is concerned and maybe we should be too. Let’s get them to stop harassing us to find out how we are going to vote, as is currently the case and give greater credence to the fact that a citizen who chooses not to vote is also expressing an opinion on the election. An opinion which political parties wish now to turn to their advantage by allowing you to be recorded, targeted, analyzed and prepped for the big sell. A person who chooses not to vote is, in most cases, going a big message, a message that political parties of all stripes choose to ignore. Let them not take this last vestige of political protest away from us. Spoiled ballets have no status and there is no square box on the ballet to record the opinion “none of the above.” Isn’t it time that more heat was put on the political parties to do

good and less heat on the potential voter? I tell you what. Give me a ballot voucher to use once each election and allow me to vote in the riding in which I believe the best candidate or the bet party resides which I believe has the best chance to effectively put forward my opinion and I will turn over heaven and earth to get to the polls and exercise my franchise on election day. It would not hurt either, in this day and age of electronic communication, to use the tools of the modern age to practice this ancient are of democracy. Who knows, you might even get the young ‘uns to press a thumb or two on election day. At least, that is an observation from an experienced voter of many decades. Or is this too big a threat to the current political party control? Note to political telephone pollsters: why is my response “I am going to vote by secret ballot” such a hard concept for you to fathom? If you really want my respect, phone me a mother after the elections over and ask me what I want you to for me and my country. Robert L. Peel

Acquisition endorsed by city staff KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

City staff are recommending council approve a vote from residents on whether or not to move a piece of property from the Strathcona Regional District into the City of Campbell River. The property in question is owned by TimberWest but Quinsam Coal has signed a purchase agreement to buy the property. The 140-hectare site is currently in the regional district’s jurisdiction but the mining company wants to bring it into the city boundary in order to deal with just one local government. The rest of Quinsam Coal’s property lies within the city. Tracy Bate, the city’s deputy city clerk, said before it can proceed with extending the city boundaries to encapture the land, the city

is legislated by the province to get the approval of registered voters. Prior to Tuesday’s council meeting – which took place after the Mirror went to press – Bate was recommending council use the Alternate Approval Process. “The Alternate Approval Process would permit council to proceed with the boundary extension so long as no more than 10 per cent of the city’s electors object by signing an elector response form,” Bate wrote in a report to council. That amounts to 2,417 people who would need to sign an opposition form and return it to City Hall in order for the approval to not go through. If the boundary extension is approved by both voters and the province, the property will be taxed at the city’s industrial tax rate and is expected to generate

roughly $6,600 per year in property tax revenue for the city. The Strathcona Regional District signed off on the boundary extension proposal in late March, but its board of directors was nearly split with six of 13 directors opposed, including Area D Director Brenda Leigh who said she needed more information. Gary Gould, general manager of Quinsam Coal, told the city in a letter that the company intends to expand its operations into the TimberWest property which shares a border with lands previously purchased by Quinsam Coal. If the expansion does go through, however, operations likely won’t begin right away as Quinsam Coal announced last week that it will be suspending all coal mining activity for eight weeks, starting July 1.

Potential Biodiversity, Mining and Tourism Areas, and Proposed Land Use Objectives – Great Bear Rainforest The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations is considering establishing up to eight new Biodiversity, Mining and Tourism Areas (BMTAs) under the Environment and Land Use Act. For King Island, the ministry is looking at the possibility of establishing a conservancy under the Park Act instead of a BMTA. These areas would comprise approximately 295,000 hectares of Crown land. The ministry is also proposing to cancel the 2007 South Central Coast Order and Central and North Coast Order, and all their amendments (2009 and 2013), and replace these with the proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest land use objectives, established by legal order pursuant to Section 93.4 of the Land Act and for the purposes of the Forest and Range Practices Act. The proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest Order sets forest management requirements within the 6.4 million hectares of the Great Bear Rainforest (see schedule A in the proposed Order). The proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest Order addresses First Nations cultural heritage resources, freshwater ecosystems and habitats, landscape and stand level biodiversity, and bear habitat.

Together the proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest Order and potential BMTAs/conservancy will meet the goals of reserving 70% of historic old growth forests, with some minor exceptions, while maintaining a viable forest industry in the Great Bear Rainforest. In areas designated as BMTAs, commercial logging and hydro-electric power generation linked to the power grid would be prohibited; other resource activities and land uses would remain subject to existing legal requirements. The designations would only apply to provincial Crown land. Areas designated as conservancies explicitly recognize the importance of the area to First Nations for social, ceremonial and cultural uses. Conservancies provide for a wider range of low impact, compatible economic opportunities than Class A parks, however, commercial logging, mining and hydroelectric power generation, other than local run-of-the-river projects, are prohibited. The designation would only apply to provincial Crown land. The public is invited to comment on the proposed 2015 Great Bear Rainforest order and potential BMTAs/conservancy June 11, 2015 to August 10, 2015. Copies of the proposed order and associated maps, and maps of the potential BMTAs/conservancy are available online at: https://www.for.gov.bc.ca/TASB/SLRP/GBR_BMTA_LUOR.html Copies of the order can also be acquired from the following ministry offices: • North Island Central Coast Natural Resource District, 2217 Mine Road, Port McNeill, B.C.

Pinecrest students pitch in A fter Don Ottosen, principal of Pinecrest Elementary School made the announcement over the school’s public address system for all students to proceed to the gym for a very special school assembly, the students were greeted by members of the school’s grade five leadership team standing at the front of the gym in their

bright yellow t-shirts. The leadership students were standing beside a large colourful display, which they have completed for this assembly. The display had many pictures of Nepal, bright colourful prayer flags and a large aquarium in the centre. However, the aquarium was not going to be used for fish – it would hold the coins the students would col-

For the next 30 minutes, Jennifer Wade, Kevin Harrison and Brenda Harrison presented a slide show that teaches the students about the geography, people, animals and culture in Nepal. The slide show concluded with the details of the 7.9 magnitude earthquake that leveled many parts of the country, leaving thousands dead, orphaned and homeless. At the conclusion of the slide show, the microphone was passed back to Ottosen, who explained how the coin drive will work. It would involve a ‘girl ver-

Adding to the coins, a girl comes forward and deposits a $10 bill – into the ‘girls’ side of the aquarium, of course! And the drive was on. On May 22, the drive wrapped up and this little school exceeded all expectations by raising $1,400. Their next door neighbour, the Campbell River United Church heard of their drive and over a few Sundays collected $240 to add to the effort. The Fair Trade Global Market also kicked in $200 to support the drive-so that means the students raised $980 from on their own. Two years ago when

It seems intuitive that regular running subjects the knee to so much wear and tear that it should increase your risk for developing osteoarthritis later in life. With each foot strike, a runner’s knee endures forces up to 8 times bodyweight. For a 150lb. person, that’s about 1200 lb. of impact step after step—pounding the pavement indeed! The medical research, however, shows the opposite: not only is there no connection between running and OA, but that running may help protect you from health problems later on. In a Stanford University study, researchers tracked nearly 1000 runners and non-runners David Pechter, MScPT over a period of 21 years. The runners’ knees were no Registered Physiotherapist more or less healthy than the non-runners. Moreover, the runners experienced substantially less physical disability and had a 39% lower mortality rate. A normally functioning knee can not only withstand, but actually flourish under repeated loading. The cartilage that acts as a shock absorber in your knees is mostly avascular, meaning it does not have arteries that deliver it blood. As a result, cartilage relies on the pumping action of movement to deliver oxygen and nutrients. Think of your knee like a sponge, when you bear weight it wrings out the used joint fluid and when you release the pressure it sucks up fresh fluid. That is not to say that there are no risks in running. It can sometimes cause soft tissue injuries and stress fractures. New runners are especially at risk if they try to run too much or too quickly too soon. Even seasoned runners can run into injury problems if they have an alignment problem in their leg or trunk. If you fear you might be developing an injury related to your running, all the Physiotherapists at Rehabilitation in Motion have experience with gait analysis and can help you with your alignment. And in case you’re worried, not all treatment plans call for you to give up your running habit!

Pensions are an often misunderstood investment Darlene & Peter Garat plan. Depending on the structure you may be able to transfer the assets out to a locked-in retirement account with your own advisor. Holding your pension outside of the Pension Manager allows any residual assets to be part of your estate when you die. Left with the Pension Manager you can sometimes opt for a survivor benefit, but this usually means leaving money on the table as less is paid out to you over time, and upon your spouse’s death any leftover assets stay with the Pension Manager. Pensions should be part of the discussion with your Financial Advisor as they form a part of not only your retirement income strategy, but, if structured properly, can benefit other members of your family.

850F 12th Ave., Campbell River 250.287.2310 How are your fundraising priorities determined? We determine which equipment to purchase each year by working closely with our local hospital staff and management; annually each department determines the equipment that they need and its priority within the department. Then each item is prioritized and submitted to VIHA. It is then reviewed with the three other community Stacey Marsh hospitals; Port Alberni, Comox and Executive Director Cowichan Valley. A high priority piece of equipment for the Campbell River Hospital may take years to be purchased or never be purchased at all. This is where you, our donors help the Hospital Foundation make a difference. Foundation funds allow our hospital to purchase vital medical equipment that may have taken years to be purchased or not purchased at all. With your support we are able to help provide our community with better care and attract and maintain top quality health care professionals, doctors and specialists.

Is the disability insurance I bought with my mortgage insurance at the bank the same as what I would buy elsewhere? Most Disability Insurance (DI) sold with mortgage insurance covers your mortgage payments only – and some only cover Darlene Garat the interest with no principal Financial Advisor re-payment. Individual Disability Insurance sold by an insurance broker pays you directly. From that monthly payment you can budget for whatever is needed during your disability, not just your mortgage payment, but other debt payments and living expenses as well. Individual DI coverage is calculated to replace your income, whereas the mortgage product is based on the mortgage balance only because that is all it will cover. Income Replacement is a vital part of thorough financial planning. Make sure you examine all options, and understand exactly what you are paying for, before making a decision.

Tax scam warning issued The Campbell River RCMP have received multiple reports of a so-called “tax scam.” The most common approach has a fraudster impersonating the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) by email or by phone. The scam involves one or two variations. The fraudsters are “phishing” for identification or asking for outstanding taxes be paid by way of a money service or by pre-paid debit or

credit cards. People can protect themselves from scammers by: not taking immediate action. verifying what you are being told is the truth. ask yourself if a legitimate agency would need information from you that they would normally have on file. confirm with the CRA or agency that you in fact owe back taxes, or are entitled to a refund.

Welcome poles greet visitors to the Nuyumblees Cultural Centre at Cape Mudge Village on Quadra Island.

Nuyumbalees unveils new exhibit

uyumbalees Cultural Centre has opened its doors for the 2015 season opening and is featuring a new exhibit The Man behind the Mask – The Life and Legacy of Chief Billy Assu. The centre welcomes back Chief Assu’s iconic Chilkat robe from the Canadian Museum of History. The Centre will also be displaying 13 recently repatriated artifacts from the National

Museum of the American Indian. The Nuyumbalees Native Garden and Interpretation Trail is also now open to the public. Weekly salmon barbecue dinners will be available on Saturday evenings at 5:30 p.m. by reservation only for $25 per person, including admission to the centre. Gallery tours will also be available Wednesdays through Fridays at 10am and 2 p.m. Nuyumbalees Cultural

Centre, which opened in 1979, was the first of its kind in Canada, designed specifically to house the Sacred Potlatch Collection repatriated from the Federal Government. The majority of pieces found in our Collection were confiscated during the anti-potlatch era that was in effect from 1884 through to 1951. Throughout this time, hundreds of our Chiefs and community members were imprisoned for practicing the cul-

tural traditions that have defined our peoples since time immemorial. Today, Nuyumbalees is a Centre of Excellence determined to facilitate the reintroduction of language and cultural traditions suppressed by over sixty years of restrictive legislation in which their practicing of was punishable by law. Nuyumbalees Society is a non-profit organization. All proceeds from admissions support the Nuyumbalees Cultural Centre.

Fun, fish, friendship and community giving in the Salmon Capital of the World

un, fish friendship and community giving marked the first Annual Rotary Fishing Derby bringing together in friendly rivalry the clubs from Campbell River, Comox, Courtenay and Cumberland May 30. A chance meeting between two Rotary Club Presidents, Dave Bazowski, Campbell River Daybreak Rotary and Ron Perrin, Courtenay Rotary and the discovery of a mutual love of fishing developed into a six club derby off the shores of Campbell River. It was followed by a barbecue at the Maritime Heritage Centre, the House that Rotary built! On Saturday morning, 25 boats headed out, some as early as 5 a.m., to determine which club would have bragging rights to bringing in the largest: Salmon, Salmon Youth, Halibut and Ling Cod. Overall bragging rights would belong to the club with the heaviest aggregate weight from their heaviest three

fish. By 6 p.m., fish were weighed and trophies awarded: Campbell River Daybreak aggregated at 47 pounds, winning the overall trophy while individual awards included Salmon

trophy at 17.5 pounds (Leah Tremain), Youth trophy at 17 pounds (Nic Capello – Rotary’s exchange student from Italy), Halibut trophy at 43 pounds (Ben Howden) and largest Ling Cod at 31.5 pounds

(Christina Peterson). “Catching the winning fish was so exciting - the salmon put up a thrilling fight,” Tremain said. “I am originally from Ontario so have not caught many salmon in my life and catching this female spring salmon is definitely the highlight of fishing in Campbell River thus far.” Although primarily meant to be fun, in typical fashion, the Rotary clubs turned it into a community fundraiser as $2,500 from the derby was donated to the Oyster River Salmon Enhancement Society. “The Daybreak Rotary Fishing Derby allowed those of us new to fishing to get out on the water with seasoned Rotary fishermen,” said Capt. Kevin Simonett from Daybreak Rotary. “It was a beautiful day and to have five clubs out on the water was tons of fun. The chatter on the radio was competitive and hilarious. I will be signing up for every year now - I’m hooked!”

It’s the coming of the ‘Apoca-lips’ A

pocalypstick!, the acclaimed East Vancouver drag show, will take to the Tidemark Theatre stage june 27 beginning at 8 p.m. to keep the Pride Festival going as it titillates, shocks and engages the audience. “Apocalypstick is one part Judy Garland, one part Jerry Springer, and a big part of fabulous!” said Isolde N. Barron, the Queen of East Van and the show’s founder. Accompanying the Queen on her Island tour is Baddest Bitch Peach Cobblah and Beardoncé. Barron is a multifaceted theatre artist. Past Entertainer of the Year, her fundraising endeavors at High School Confidential, For the Girls and Queer Bash earned her a “Drag Queen of the Year” nomination for Xtra’s Hero Awards. She has

co-created and performed in Tucked & Plucked: Vancouver’s drag HerStory Live Onstage! and 20 Minute Drag School. She was the Associate Director on the Vancouver Playhouse’s final production of La Cage aux Folles. After hosting Apocalypstick: East Van’s Drag show every Sunday for two years at the Cobalt, she has shifted her focus to the theatre company founded by her alter ego, Cameron Mackenzie: Zee Zee Theatre. The Zee Zee just wrapped up its sixth season with Dave Deveau, aka Peach Cobblah’s newest script, Lowest Common Denominator at the PAL Theatre in Coal Harbour. With her wife Barron, Cobblah has created Twenty Minute Drag School for the Firehall’s BC Buds Fes-

tival as well as Tucked & Plucked: Vancouver’s Drag HerStory Live Onstage! which continues to pop up around town. Peach currently produces and hosts the hottest night in Vancouver: HUSTLA, the city’s only monthly queer hiphop event at The Cobalt, where she also runs The Gay Agenda: Glitter & Skin, a monthly party celebrating all forms of masculinity. She is the host of Shame Spiral, a devilishly regretful drag show Tuesday nights at 1181. You may also recognize Peach from her turn as the dominatrix Hanna in last fall’s La Cage Aux Folles at the Vancouver Playhouse. As a boy Peach is known as award-winning playwright Dave Deveau. Beardoncé was born on The Cobalt stage at The Mr./Miss Cobalt 2014 competition, and

has been keeping herself busy on various stages around Vancouver since then. Sean Parsons is a graduate of the Capilano University Musical Theatre Program, and has had a passion for performing since early childhood. A trained singer, actor and dancer, Sean incorporates his theatrical training into every Beardoncé performance, and loves to take each audience on a journey. APOCALYPSTICK! Pride Party is sponsored by the Campbell River Mirror, Coast Discovery Inn and Shadoe Intimates Inc. Tickets are $22 for members and $27 for non-members (plus applicable taxes and fees) and can be purchased at the Box Office Thursday through Saturday between noon and 4 p.m. Tickets are also available online at tidemarktheatre.com.

Isolde N. Barron brings her East Vancouver drag show to the Campbell River Pride Party on June 27 at the Tidemark Theatre.

Big Yellow Hall welcomes Celtic siblings back Victoria musicians Quinn and Qristina Bachand have acquired a big following internationally, in Canada, and here on the North Island. They will be performing in concert at the Big Yellow Merville Hall on Thursday June 11. Over the last two years Quinn has performed locally at concerts with Ashley McIsaac, Pierre Schryer, and Shane Cook. And Quinn and his sister Qristina have performed at Gardeners’ Green Folk Club house concerts. However, this magical sibling duo’s popularity has outgrown the house concert venue, and many who wanted to see them weren’t able to get in, so this time there will be room for all at the Merville Hall. Qristina and Quinn began their musical lives early, both specializing in classical violin. Quinn soon discovered his affinity for all stringed instruments, quickly mastered both guitar and banjo along with various

Qristina and Quinn Bachand play the Merville Hall tomorrow night.

Dad was a heavy duty mechanic who worked in various iron ore mines in Temagami, Ont. to copper mines in Granisle, B.C. and coal mines in Tumbler Ridge. His greatest joys in life were his grandchildren and great-grandchildren who he loved to spoil with treats and tell hunting and fishing stories to. When ill health forced early retirement upon him in 1994, Mom and Dad moved to Campbell River to be closer to the family and he was able to practice his love of wood working and spoiling the kids. There will be a private family service at a later date.

We miss you dad and revel in many happy memories of love and laughter with you in our lives. It is now with sadness we also say farewell to Gwen Harding who passed away May 15, 2015 at the age of 91. Bill and Gwen spent 18 happy years together from 1998 to June 9, 2005, when Bill Foort passed away at the age of 82. They travelled up and down the coast on various boats and attended square dance parties here and there; Gwen making all their dance costumes, Bill playing the harmonica. They always found festive events to enjoy or made their own. They had their own unique way of seeking adventure and made each day count. Their time together was just plain joyous and fun, enjoying one anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s company, laughing, joking, singing and dancing. Dad has been gone for ten years; however, his time with us and his many stories of the coast and his gentle way are treasured and lives in our memories. Gwen is remembered fondly as a very kind, cheerful person who had many talents, which included being an accomplished seamstress which took her many places throughout her life. Two jovial, fun-loving people; always missed, respected, remembered and loved. We hear you playing your harmonica dad and along with Gwen, we all listen. Your daughter Patricia and son-in-law Ventura.

June Rose Langman June 7, 1919 - May 26, 2015

June passed away peacefully at Evergreen Seniors Home. She was born June Hill in Toronto and married the love of her life, Arthur Kitchener Langman, on January 6, 1943. They raised their two children (Arthur Wayne, b. 1944 and Brian David, b. 1955) in the Toronto region and then retired to Midland, Ontario before being enticed by their children to move farther west. They lived happily in Saint Albert, Alberta until Art died on January 7, 1997. Her younger son, Brian, died on December 28, 2014 in Edmonton. Since their courting years, Art and June enjoyed skating arm in arm to â&#x20AC;&#x153;good skating musicâ&#x20AC;? in various rinks in Ontario and then in Alberta until about 1992 when Artâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s failing health made that impossible. June survived her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death by more than 18 years. She moved into a condo in Campbell River in 2006 to be closer to her son, Wayne, who could help her with aspects of her life that were becoming more difficult. She was a gentle soul who will be remembered by many in all 3 provinces where she lived. Although her Campbell River years were not easy years for her, she touched many lives while here. She made friends at Mountain View Condominiums where she lived for 6 years and at Strathcona Gardens Pool where she participated in fitness classes for many years. She was loved at the CR Baptist Church and at the CR United Church. She was greeted with smiles and hugs at various businesses around town. She was lovingly cared for at Evergreen Seniors Home in her last 18 months. Many wonderful people helped her along the way in her Campbell River years. June will be remembered as part of the Sunday worship service held at the Campbell River United Church, 415 Pinecrest Road on Sunday, June 14, 2015 at 10am. Everyone who was touched by Juneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bright spirit is welcome to attend.

CARSTAR’s Great Strides Walk for Cystic Fibrosis Canada raised $15,300 on May 31. About 100 walkers participated in the worlk striving for a world where cystic fibrosis will no longer be a progressive life shortening disease. Krista Houston, event organizer said, “I’m very happy to announce our walkers raised over $15,300 to help in the fight against cystic fibrosis – every cent will go to support high quality medical care and research into finding a cure for this devastating disease.” Acting Mayor, Coun. Marlene Wright spoke of remarkable progress being made in treatment for people who have cystic fibrosis. Walkers were led in an upbeat warm up by Risa Branchi before heading out on the 3 km walk which started at Penfield School. Face painter Jillian Legendre from Detailed Face Painting made lots of children very happy. More fun for children was had as they explored a firetruck. Brian Shaw, Campbell River’s amazing bagpiper piped the walkers off. M.C. Bill Black thanked all those who came and walked in support of the CF cause. He expressed a big thank you to the new national title sponsor for the walk Carstars who were well represented with teams from Carstars/ TC Valley Collision in Courtenay and Carstars/ Rich’s Autobody in Campbell River. He also thanked local sponsors for the event including; Marine Harvest, Capacity Forest Products; Boston Pizza, Dairy Queen, Thrifty Foods, Walmart, Quality Foods and Shoppers Drug Mart. He thanked Jim Costain and his family from Dairy Queen and the Kinsmen for an excellent barbecue lunch. For 31 years the local Kin Club has also been of tremendous support to the Campbell River Chapter of Cystic Fibrosis Canada. Kim Wood, 33, who has cystic fibrosis managed to complete the walk despite being quite ill recently. She said, “it is so heartwarming to see all these people working to help me and others like me live a longer and better life – it helps me work hard to beat this disease.”

Cosmos, Do it for Dana snare Golden Wings titles J.R. RARDON

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Edson Castro scored one goal and set up a key second score Sunday as Cosmos FC topped the Kingcome Wolves 2-1 to claim the men’s championship in the 43rd annual Golden Wings soccer tournament at the Spit Field. The women’s title went to Do it for Dana, which rolled unbeaten through the tourney and blanked the Alert Bay 96ers 2-0 in Sunday’s final. Castro staked Cosmos FC to the early lead in the men’s final, heading in the ball from seven yards out on a set play off a free kick. In the 65th minute, Castro nearly got a second goal but his 15-yard offering banged off the crossbar and out. However, with just six minutes to go in the 80-minute final, Castro started a bizarre series with another header. His redirect went to a teammate for another header, with the ball slicing across the goal mouth from right to left. As Wolves goalie Wylie Roberts lunged for the save, the ball hit the goalpost and bounced back toward the right side. A Cosmos attacker and a Kingcome defender both missed on kicks as they tried to change direction with the ball. Finally it settled on the foot of Taylor Arbour, who

calmly tapped it into the open side of the net for the 2-0 lead. The Wolves weren’t finished. Pushing hard in the final minute, they earned a penalty kick with a hold inside the 18-yard box, and Mateo Kostering converted to make it 2-1. But the whistle

blew just moments after the following kickoff, allowing Cosmos to claim the champion’s trophy and ball. Quwutzun took third in the 16-team men’s division after falling to Cosmos FC in the first round and running the table in the consolation

bracket. Cosmos FC also cleaned up in the individual awards, with Justin Gusola earning the MVP, Matt Likness getting Most Valuable Goalie and Joel Harry claiming the Bill Dyck Memorial Most Valuable Defender Award.

The Most Inspirational Player was given to Johnny Rice of the Songhees Falcons. Do it for Dana is named for its coach, Dana Henderson, a cancer survivor who has marked five years cancer-free. “I can’t play any more, but I can coach,” an emo-

tional Henderson said as she accepted the women’s trophy surrounded by her players. “I’d just like to thank all these girls for coming out and playing for me.” Do it for Dana opened the tourney Saturday with a win over Alert Bay, and capped it with another after the 96ers rallied their way through the consolation bracket to earn the rematch. Maralyn Lloyd scored the lone first-half goal in the game, and Sarah Bartlett made it 2-0 in the 55th minute when she collected a long through pass just before onrushing Alert Bay goalkeeper Sandra Seaweed arrived. After tapping the ball past Seaweed, Bartlett sent it into the wide-open net from 20 yards for the insurance score. Melinda Martin got the shutout in goal. The Vancouver Island Suns claimed third place in the women’s division. Lisa Lloyd, Maralyn’s daughter, was named MVP and Seaweed earned Most Valuable Goalie honours. Morgan McDonald of Do it for Dana was tabbed Most Valuable Defender. The U-16 title went to the Cowichan Eagles in a finals win over We Wai Kai FC of Campbell River. The Nanaimo Predators placed third.

Crews go to bat for wildlife at John Hart site J.R. RARDON

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

BC Hydro contractors completed perhaps the most unusual structure associated with the John Hart Power Generating Station replacement project in May — a set of bat houses. As part of the project, scheduled for completion in 2018, BC Hydro had to identify and mitigate potential environmental impacts, including those on local wildlife. When biologists identified a small shed slated for demolition was being used as a roost for bats in the spring and summer, crews worked to seal the shed against bat intrusion, using plastic barriers, taping and caulking of gaps. Then, so as not to leave the bats homeless, the project team constructed four bat houses, elevated above 4.5 metres and facing southeast for maximum sun exposure and warmth. Crews have also used exclusion work, including mesh and other barriers, to prevent the nesting in construction areas of barn swallows,

Above, preparations are underway for construction of a cofferdam and intake system for the John Hart Power Generation Station replacement project, in this image taken June 3. At left, Bat houses have been constructed to accommodate animals displaced by the demolition of an old BC Hydro shed in which they had previously nested.

a federally listed species. The swallows have been found to be making nests farther along the dam, allowing construction to proceed. Round the clock Project operations have moved into a 24-hour-aday schedule, with blasting proceeding in the main generating station cavern and in the main access tunnel. The main tunnel now reaches more than 150 metres and the

powerhouse cavern 65 metres in. Meanwhile, above the dam, work has begin on the new intake system with construction of crane pads, silt curtains and piles underway for the cofferdam. Work on the cofferdam and intake access earthworks will continue through December of 2016, with power tunnel excavation beginning this September.

Water seepage For the first time since blasting began on the access tunnels and main generating station cavern, the project has encountered its first water seepage from a seam. Following a blast in the main access tunnel May 14, a “significant” amount of water began entering the tunnel, BC Hydro spokesman Stephen Watson said. Pumps were installed

to pump the flow to the project’s water treatment plant. From there, outflow was sent to a diversion ditch that flows into Campbell River, with the water monitored throughout the diversion period. “All the water was treated and the water that goes into Campbell River has been within compliance,” Watson said. “The project team tests for turbidity, pH, and for some nutrients,

like nitrogen. “The water quality in general has been good.” Watson said water seepage is an anticipated challenge of blasting underground rock, and the incident has not impacted the project schedule or work. “InPower BC is still working on that (seepage), but the water issue was under control within a few days,” Watson said. “It’s resolved itself.”

Bridge to the future The Elk Falls Suspension Bridge, opened May 8, has met expectations as a major draw for visitor to the interpretive centre, Elk Falls Provincial Park and the John Hart dam site. Visitor stats at the info center ballooned in May. After totaling 442 visitors for the entire month of April, the centre drew 384 in a single day in May and finished with 1,572 visitors for the month, an average of 196 per day. Have a look B C Hydro and InPower BC will host a community site visit July 12. Details are still being finalized for the public event, in which people may visit the construction site and view some of the work and equipment. Access to the tunnels will not be available, though visitors may walk partway down the entrance ramps to view the tunnels. Access to the project site will be by bus only. BC Hydro will to provide additional details on the community site event as they become available.

Tri-a-triathlon. A triathlon involves three disciplines: swimming, biking and running. A typical sprint distance triathlon begins with a 500m swim, which could be in a pool or in a lake. After completing the swim, participants grab their bikes and complete a 20km route. The final stage is a 5 km run. You don’t need a lot of special gear for a triathlon; swim goggles, any kind of bike, a helmet and a pair of running shoes. Triathlon is a very
