Beach fire spreads to bushes A Campbell River beach fire that wasn’t properly extinguished spread into the brush at the base of a steep slope Tuesday – presenting a difficult challenge for fire fighters. No one was injured, and no property was damaged, but fire fighters were on the scene for an hour and 30 minutes, working to extinguish the fire and prevent it
from spreading. At 8:10 a.m. on Tuesday, June 16, Campbell River fire crews responded to multiple reports of smoke coming from the brush below Sequoia Park. When crews arrived, they reported a brush fire at the base of the steep slope, burning in an area covering approximately 40 by 30 feet. Accessing the loca-
tion was difficult, and fire crews had to extend more than 700 feet of fire hose to contain the fire and prevent it from spreading up the steep slope. “This is a result of an unattended beach fire that was not completely extinguished from the previous evening,” says Deputy Fire Chief Thomas Doherty. “With the prolonged hot

the dog to the Campbell River SPCA and felt the dog needed mercy and should be put down,” Christensen wrote. “She took the dog to a second person in the community, who felt the same, and this person euthanized the dog.” Christensen said the family who owned the dog knew the dog was unhealthy and had planned to put the dog down when they felt it was time. “They knew there was no dog bylaw on Quadra. If there was a dog bylaw that required dogs wear a collar and tag, this incident would not have happened,” Christensen wrote. He said that because there is no legislation to deal with incidents outside of those involving dangerous dogs, the police have no laws which they can rely on to deal with loose dogs, nuisance dogs or irresponsible dog owners. Christensen said that in the past, Quadra police officers have used the Community Charter to seize several dogs that have attacked people and livestock but with little success. “The dogs were transported to Coastal Animal Services where they were held until a court hearing could take place before a provincial court judge,” Christensen said. “This process has not worked. In each case the
judge ordered the dogs returned to the owner. The Quadra RCMP had to pay the bill for the animal’s weeks and months of care and housing while at Coastal Animal Services. The RCMP does not have a budget to pay for these things so money came from our operations budget.” Christensen said a solution to the problem is to create a dog bylaw and an agreement with Coastal Animal Services. A bylaw would fall under the responsibility of the Strathcona Regional District which has jurisdiction over Quadra Island. Jim Abram, the area director, said he would like to see some sort of dog control tool be implemented as it’s a concern for not just the RCMP but the residents of Quadra Island. “This is something I’ve

said for years ‘no way, it’ll never happen’ – there’s more dogs on Quadra Island than people – but this bylaw has come forward because of the people of Quadra Island pushing it,” Abram said. “This just totally blows me away as the electoral director for the area that mostly the people pushing for this bylaw are dog owners, because they’re tired of the bad dog owners. And the RCMP are fed up with not having a tool to control it.” Tom Yates, the regional district’s corporate services manager, wrote in a report to the regional district board that staff will have to investigate whether the regional district is authorized to implement a dog control bylaw. “The regional district does not currently have authority to provide a dog licensing
program or enact other regulations for the control of domestic dogs on Quadra Island but has included provision within the 2015 work plan to investigate the matter,” Yates wrote. “As a first step in that investigation it is suggested that a report be prepared by staff which would allow the board to consider the costs associated with a dog control service.” The board, after receiving Yates’ report, did vote to have staff come back with such a report. Cpl. Shane Worth of the Quadra Island RCMP said it will be worth looking into. “A dog bylaw would greatly assist this office in addressing dog complaints and would provide a valuable enforcement option that does not currently exist,” Worth wrote to the board.
campfires and ensure fires are fully extinguished prior to leaving the location. This was a challenging example of carelessness that could have turned into a very serious situation very quickly.”

Ferries playing ‘moneymaking’ game: Jim Abram
FRIDAY,JUNE JUNE19, 19,2015 2015 | | CAMPBELL CAMPBELLRIVER RIVERMIRROR MIRROR | | 55 FRIDAY,

KRISTEN DOUGLAS
CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Quadra Island Director Jim Abram is unhappy with a new polic y between BC Ferries and BC Ambulance Service which he says puts patient health at risk. L ast October, B C Ambulance changed its protocol that allowed paramedics treating a patient en route to Campbell River Hospital to call the crew on board the Quadra Island ferry and ask that the vessel be held up for the ambulance. Now, under the new policy, paramedics must call into the BC Ambulance dispatch centre in Victoria, and the dispatcher then calls the BC Ferries Operations Centre which in turn contacts the ferry crew. Abram said that protocol has some pitfalls. “They aren’t there, they’re in a different town and they don’t know the situation,” Abram said. “If the dispatcher says ‘no’ that person doesn’t need to be on the ferry, the ferry won’t wait and the patient has to wait another hour to get to Campbell River. It puts the decision in the hands of people in Victoria ver-
sus the person who is providing the care and they should be the one making the decision. “And keep in mind, all of this is taking time.” Lance Stephenson, BC Ambulance’s area director for coastal districts, said while he agrees there is more of a time lag under the new system, it’s more organized and the process has so far run smoothly. “Definitely there’s a longer delay with that process but it’s getting better as we use it more and more and it keeps things consistent,” Stephenson said. “It was harder to keep track before as it was all on an ad-hoc basis. We needed to make the system more effective and we haven’t had any issues in the last few months.” Stephenson said it also allows the paramedic to better focus on providing treatment. “By having the dispatcher co-ordinate the logistics, the paramedic can focus on good patient care,” Stephenson said. “Before, they were busy dialing their phones, while trying to get to
the ferry and treat the patient. It became quite a challenge.” He said in situations where BC Ambulance has had to ask BC Ferries to wait because an ambulance is about to miss a sailing, the ferry corporation has been good with delaying the ship’s departure. “We have a great working relationship with BC Ferries,” Stephenson said. “We’ve asked for the courtesy to save us a spot and hold the ferry for five or so minutes and 99 per cent of the time, the ferry is good at holding.” He said that in his experience, BC Ferries has not charged BC Ambulance for delaying a sailing for up to five minutes but “if the hold up is too long, BC Ferries will start to charge.” Deborah Marshall, spokesperson for BC Ferries, confirmed that the corporation will charge if the delay becomes too lengthy. “When a ferry is used for an emergency call out, either during regular operations and delaying
the schedule by 10 minutes or greater, or during silent hours, BC Ferries charges BC Ambulance Service on a pure costrecovery basis,” Marshall said. Abram said he believes that the charge, which he said used to be $1,400 for an emergency call-out, dissuades BC Ambulance from asking for the ferry to wait for patients. “This is not supposed to be a money-making game, to get people to medical care, so this has to change,” Abram said. But Stephenson said BC Ambulance does all it can to put patient care first and the service has access to modes of transportation other than the ferry to accomplish that. “We will pull out all the stops to get these patients transported from the islands to where they need to be,” Stephensen said. “In conversation with our dispatch centre, we may say rather than hold the ferry we have a helicopter in the area that can be there in five minutes. Our system is really fluid.”

Humble Rod shares the glory Rod Brind’Amour gets a lot of credit for the annual Cystic Fibrosis Golf Classic. Deservedly so. After all, the former NHL star literally helicoptered in for Saturday’s tournament at Storey Creek Golf Course while the numerous volunteers and organizers already on the ground continued with their labours. But Brind’Amour is the first to deflect the praise back to those local organizers, sponsors, donors and even the golfers who have raised roughly $1.5 million in the 20 years the classic has taken place in his hometown. In a speech during Saturday night’s dinner and auction at the Willow Point We say: Retired Sportsplex, Brind’Amour was alternately somber, NHL star keeps humorous and humbled the focus on by the generosity the community has shown finding CF cure in helping seek a cure for cystic fibrosis. In one anecdote, he noted that as a sports “celebrity,” he often gets asked to participate in similar fundraising tournaments, where he greets corporatesponsored teams for handshakes and photos before jetting out of town. “A lot of times, I’m in the plane leaving and going, ‘What was that for? I have no idea.’” The Rod Brind’Amour Cystic Fibrosis Classic, though, has never lost sight of its mission. As nice as it is to see the money roll in for research into treatments and an eventual cure, Brind’Amour said the real benefit to the classic is the awareness it promotes about a pulmonary disease that strikes children and alters their lives irrevocably. “You all know why you’re here,” he told the audience. Brind’Amour was playing in the NHL when he answered a letter from 12-year-old CF patient Kim Black in 1994 and agreed to lend his name to a fundraiser. Now retired, he recognizes that to keep up that awareness and keep the classic fresh, it needed new blood. So he approached the classic committee to bring aboard Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, a fresh-faced, B.C.raised superstar now playing for the Edmonton Oilers, as co-host after four years of appearing as a “special guest”. So the 21st annual event will be known as the Rod Brind’Amour/Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Cystic Fibrosis Golf Classic. As a fellow newcomer to the classic’s field of sponsors, the Mirror is proud to be a part of the cause and heartily welcomes Ryan’s addition. Brind’Amour is a big man, and offering to share headliner status was a big step for the classic. But he’ll be the first to admit the cause is even bigger.

The perilous path of public perception
Close a major downtown bridge for a yoga-fest? After nearly 40 years in the journalism business, one would think I’ve “seen ‘em all,” at least when it comes to political public relations disasters. Apparently not. That aborted stunt by Premier Christy Clark was definitely a new one in my books – deeply infused with the “Um” factor, rather than “Om.” You could also imagine that, given decades of media attention to this kind of gaffe, politicians would be developing a more finely tuned sense of public optics. Clearly, however, that evolutionary cycle does not generally apply in elected public service – federal, provincial or municipal. So, the next thought that might occur, is that astute politicians would hire optic-savvy communications advisors who don’t do well at keister-kissing. And the really smart politicians then actually listen to them. I’m not sure what it was

From Page 1
sors, its 155 golfers, auction donors and volunteers, more than $93,000 was raised Saturday. That brings the 20-year total to approximately $1.5 million raised to combat the devastating respiratory disease. “That’s pretty generous for a small community like Campbell River,” said Grant Stewart, a longtime member
of the Campbell River Cystic Fibrosis chapter who has also served on the golf classic organizing committee for each of its 20 years. “That’s quite a feat. It really shows the generosity of the golfers and sponsors and donors in the community.” Kim Wood, whose letter to Brind’Amour as 12-year-old Kim Black in 1994 started both the
golf classic and a lifelong relationship, spoke of the advances made in cystic fibrosis (CF) treatment in the last 20 years. Once known as a childhood illness because sufferers rarely lived into adulthood, CF now has more adult patients in Canada than children. “I didn’t think we’d still be here doing this
20 years later,” said Wood. “I thought we’d have a cure.” She then showed an emotional slideshow, featuring fellow CF patients Michael Hamilton and Mackenzie Norris, contrasting the reality of their day-today lives against images of what they could be in a world free of CF. Nugent-Hopkins, a 22-year-old NHL All-
star who hails from Burnaby, has been involved in the last four classics at the invitation of Brind’Amour, who coaches for the Carolina Hurricanes. The two joined each group at the tee box of Storey Creek’s signature 17th hole, posing for team photos and lending their tee shots to the best-ball play. Brind’Amour
approached the classic committee about adding the young star as a full co-host as a way to keep the event fresh and perhaps even increase awareness in the fight against CF. “I’m not playing anymore, and I think it’s time for some new blood,” Brind’Amour told the crowd. “I thought that was a class move by Rod to

do that,” said Stewart. “I think it helps, too, that they’re both down-toearth guys.” This year’s golf tournament came down to a five-team tie for low score at 12-under par. After the tiebreaking count-back of scorecards, the title was awarded to Victor Choo, Ken Bell, Art Swanson, Len Anglin and Hal Fraser.

If you thought last year’s carvings were spectacular, wait until you see what will be created this year! Twenty carvers will be firing up their chainsaws at 7 a.m. on Wednesday, June 24. This is the Campbell River Shoreline Arts Society’s 19th year holding the Transformations On the Shore competition. As in past years, the competition is at Frank James Park on the Island Highway in Willow Point, Campbell River. The carvers start on Wednesday morning and finish at 7 p.m. They continue to carve on Thursday and Friday while a small army of volunteers take away all the bits of wood and sawdust that don’t belong. By Saturday, most of the carvers take a break and compete in the Quick Carve competition with the carvings being offered for sale by live auction, Sunday at 2:00 p.m. On Sunday, the carvers finish up their work and it is scrutinized by our expert judges. Awards will be made on the Sunday afternoon starting at 2 p.m. The weather in past years has been on our side so take the opportunity to bring friends and family to see the carvers in action. Over the past few months, I noticed a few new eating places have opened in Willow Point and the Willow Point Hall will be open on the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday so plan on having lunch! Parking is limited, so think about parking a little further away and walk to the park to see the carvers. There are some great local businesses that will be open for your shopping pleasure. It has been a long year of planning this event and the Board of Directors spends countless hours lining things up for the community to enjoy this event, and to keep it free of charge. The wood suppliers contribute carving-quality logs at no charge, and any leftover logs are donated to schools and carvers to help them get better at their craft. John Ellis delivers the wood to the park and this community spirit keeps the event happening year after year. Along with provincial and

Local hotels and motels supply free accommodation for any carvers who come in from out of town, and various restaurants supply them with lunches and snacks for free. A number of equipment rental companies not only provide equipment for free, but their employees often help set up the park and take it down at the end of the competition.
Congratulations Shoreline Arts Society for another amazing year!

The Campbell River Shoreline Arts Society is non-profit and we appreciate all of the organizations who help put on the event. The City of Campbell River was especially helpful last year when it helped deliver the carvings, and the Campbell River Mirror always comes through with media releases, advertising, and our big Thank You after the event. We are very aware of just how many organizations are fundraising and leaning on local businesses for support, so we particularly want to thank all of our sponsors and everyone who helps put on this event every year. This year, not only are many of our favourite carvers coming back, but we have one of the stars of the television show “Carver Kings” and a carver from the Netherlands. Did you know that some of our local carvers have attended international chainsaw carving competitions in places like Japan? Be sure to stop by the raffle tent, buy a ticket, and sign our guest book. If you have any questions, there will always be at least one board member on site. See you on Wednesday morning!

The carving that started it all... On July 1 (Canada Day), 1996, well-known local artist Max Chickite stood working on an old stump that had been on the beach for many years. After 10 hours, a remarkable octopus appeared from the wood and "Octy" was born. Octy was a gift to the city from Max. A few days later, vandals cut off the Octopus' head and stole it, but it was found 11 days later on a logging road. Max repaired the charred, damaged head and returned it to Octy's body. The vandalism caused furor and is the reason the Driftwood-Carving Competition was started. We felt that since a city could be so upset about the damage to one carving, it would surely appreciate a city filled with carvings. "Transformations on the Shore" began in 1997 and has been seen by thousands and thousands. Visitors and local residents love to watch the carvers at work and enjoy the carvings that are left along the Sea Walk and throughout the City of Campbell River. The Octopus has had other adventures as well, but he is still standing proudly (although much smaller) in his spot looking across Discovery Passage (on the 50th Parallel).

Adam Youngblut – Ladysmith, BC
Originally from Ontario, Adam has always had a love for art and working with his hands. Trained as a horticulturist and also a certified arborist, he first took an interest in carving while working for a conservation authority back east. In the fall of 2013, he and his family moved to Vancouver Island. This provided the chance to pursue his new interest. He has been carving ever since, inspired by the wonderful surroundings of the Islands.

Junior Henderson is the hereditary chief of the Wei Wai Kum Band of the Kwakwaka’wakw Nation from Campbell River. Born in 1976, Junior inherited the Henderson family’s artistic talent from his grandfather Chief Sam Henderson, a distinguished Kwakwaka’wakw Master carver; his uncle, Bill Henderson, renowned carver; his uncle Mark Henderson, eminent traditional painter and his father Dan Henderson, artist, storyteller and cultural historian. Junior has been competing in the Transformations on the Shore competition for the past 15 years.
Joel Palmer – Browns Flat, New Brunswick
I have been full time carving since the summer of 2012 at which time I also entered into the first ever Atlantic Canada Chainsaw Sculpting Championships and won first place over my peers. The contest was a week long competition over which each day a carver is given five hours to complete to his or her best a 6 - 8 foot log, over the period of a week, five carvings are completed by every carver and on the sixth day one is chosen for completion - an additional five hours. This was the competition that really set me off and challenged me in the art form. Since then I have excelled in what I do and currently in 2014 won the championship again. I love to compete and I know that if given the time alotted in the competition you are hosting, I will be able to produce a work like nothing I have ever done. I come into competitions like this to win but most of all have a good time with fellow carvers.
Roderick Brown – Terrace, BC
Born and raised in Ontario, Roderick spent much of his time growing up in the forests and lakes surrounding his family's house and grandparents' cottage. Now living next to the mighty Skeena River, he draws inspiration from forest, rivers and culture so deeply rooted in this awesome place. Roderick is a self-taught wood sculptor who combines both realistic form and elaborate surface designs to his work.

RYAN COOK If you watched “90210” or “The Hills” you may have noticed him. And if you watched “Saw Dogs”, he’s the rookie who accidentally decapitated an eagle carving with his forklift. And if you watch “Carver Kings” you’ll know him as Ryan Cook, the carver with the mop of blonde curls who always wears a Saw Valley t-shirt. Ryan started out in acting, but got into chainsaw carving while playing a rookie carver on “Saw Dogs”. He began carving in earnest, and became a professional carver while here in Campbell River just a few years ago. Now he appears regularly on HGTV, and he recently made a statement on the reality show that he is tired of carving eagles and bears, so we are really looking forward to seeing what he comes up with this year!

Rink Minx get fresh meat J.R. RARDON CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
First, Campbell River embraced roller derby as a spectator sport. It only makes sense that, after it arrived in the community, the players would follow. “I think I was looking for a challenge and looking for some sort of team sport that was different,” said Stacey Larson. “I had known some people who were doing it and had been to some bouts, but it had always been in Courtenay-Comox. “So when it came to Campbell River, it was a game-changer for me.” Larsen was among the newcomers to roller derby who completed the Campbell River Rink Minx first “Fresh Meat” program last Tuesday at Rod Brind’Amour Arena. The eight-week, introductory course wrapped up with a presentation of team uniforms and hugs as Rink Minx veterans welcomed the newcomers to the family. “Roller derby is like a way of life for us,” said Jen Calla, aka Sweet Suf-
ferin. “We eat, sleep and breathe roller derby. It’s a great community.” And it has found a home in Campbell River after the team lost its facility in the Comox Valley last year. An exhibition show at the Brindy last summer drew a raucous, all-ages crowd of 700 spectators, giving the women hope that they could find a home in the city. A deal with the Campbell River Community Centre to host Sunday evening practices followed, and Strathcona Gardens added the Fresh Meat course as part of its recreational activity schedule earlier this year. Campbell River’s newest team will reward that partnership on July 4 when it hosts Scar Wars, the Rink Minx’s second local bout and first as a true hometown team. The event begins at 5 p.m. at Rod Brind’Amour Arena and will feature bouts against the Pow Town Roller Girls of Powell River and against the Harbour City Rollers of Nanaimo. A sneak peak at the
team and the sport will be offered on Canada Day, when the Rink Minx take part in the parade, a derby demo, and a pub crawl. The team will also begin its second Fresh Meat series June 30 at the Brindy, open to both newcomers and the intermediate skaters who completed the debut course last week. “The session we just did is more basic — learning how to skate and how to be comfortable on your skates,” said Calla. “The next session, we’re hoping to introduce a higher level of skating; backward skating, more hitting, more contact.” Roller derby is a highenergy, contact sport blending elements of sexy and macho, with players boasting provocative or mock-violent derby names and sometimes costumes, or “boutfits”. It had its initial heyday in the mid20th century in the U.S., but declined after the competitive aspect gave way to showmanship and scripted bouts.
A grassroots resurrection of the sport began in the early 2000s, and now there are more than 1,200 amateur leagues worldwide. “I used to skate when I was a kid and I loved it,” said Catherina “Celtic Crush” Schofield. “I stopped after I had my children, but seeing it signed up here I wanted to do it because I’m very competitive.” Lauren “Titty Kitty” Thuja said she was drawn by the desire to play an all-girl, contact sport. Aolani “Mean Machine” Delorme has essentially discovered an alter-ego when she straps on the helmet and pads and laces on her skates. “It’s something to expand my horizons and step out of my box, which is normally quite small,” said Delorme. “I wanted to do something that’s just totally opposite to me. I just love it.” To learn more or to sign up for the next Fresh Meat introductory session, visit Rink Minx Roller Girls on Facebook or email rinkminxrollergirls@gmail.com.

Tax break tool seldom used KRISTEN DOUGLAS
CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The Strathcona Regional District will update a tax break policy to raise awareness that such a tool exists. The regional district board of directors, at last week’s Wednesday meeting, voted to have staff prepare an administrative policy designed to inform the public about permissive tax exemptions. Directors Brenda Leigh and Andy Adams were opposed. The bylaw allows the regional district to exempt certain types of property located within the regional district’s electoral areas from property taxation. However, the tool is seldom used and Area D Director Leigh said she didn’t think it was necessary that staff write a new policy. “This is a rarely used application that we get. We get one from the Quadra Legion branch and the Quadra Conservancy and those are the only two we ever get,” Leigh said. “It’s so rarely used it’s hardly necessary
A re a D D i re c t o r Brenda Leigh felt policy updated is unnecessary.
to put a policy statement on it. I don’t see the need to waste staff time on it.” But Cortes Island Director Noba Anderson said the board shouldn’t be so quick to dismiss it. “It seems like a good tool, perhaps we should be promoting this in our communities more,” Anderson said. “I’d be interested to hear a little bit more rather than just ditch it.” Leigh, though, was concerned that the policy would dictate who the board could and couldn’t approve for tax
exemptions and said she couldn’t support a blanket policy. “Each case comes to us and they have individual circumstances, so writing a one-size-fits-all policy for that doesn’t make sense,” Leigh said. “You need to consider them one at a time, consider their needs, consider their merit in getting an exemption.” But Tom Yates, the regional district’s corporate services manager, said the policy would not determine which applications should and shouldn’t be approved by the board. “The intent is to get rid of the current policy and work on this issue from an administrative perspective,” Yates said. “In other words, by clear direction to the public as to where, when and how they can make these applications without getting into the criteria of what to support and what not.” Julie Colborne, director for Zeballos, wanted confirmation from staff that the policy would be for the benefit of the public.
“So this policy would be more like a tool for the public, it would be an information package so if someone comes in to claim a tax exemption, this is what they’d see?” Colborne asked. Staff confirmed that was the intent and the board went ahead with directing staff to come back with a new policy. Currently, the regional district deals with permissive tax exemptions for the following: n Properties used for athletic, recreation, public worship, education, agricultural, horticultural or public use. n Heritage properties. n Riparian properties on which a covenant with the regional district to protect the property has been entered into. n Properties owned or held by a party to a partnering agreement with the regional district.

Strathcona wants a piece of federal pie KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The Strathcona Regional District is putting two projects forward as local governments across the country vie for a piece of the $150 million pie the federal government has up for grabs. The regional district’s board of directors agreed last week to submit two applications – one for seismic upgrades to the Quadra Island Community Centre and one for the replacement of playground equipment in Area D’s Hagel Park. Ralda Hansen, the regional district’s community service manager, said both projects fit the criteria of the Canada 150 program. “There are currently two projects that meet the purpose and intent of the grant program and that will provide a public benefit,” Hansen said. “In Western Canada, strong preference will be given to projects that are undertaking meaningful upgrades to existing cultural and community facilities including community centres and recreational facilities.” The Canada 150 fund was announced by the federal government on May 15 and is a tribute to Canada’s 150th birthday which will be

Wings and Wheels 3x7
celebrated on July 1, 2017. The program will provide up to $500,000 for each of 1,800 community infrastructure projects across the nation. Of the $150 million available, $46.2 million is allocated to B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. If the Strathcona Regional District is successful in securing money from the Canada 150 fund, it will be responsible for putting up 50 per cent of the cost for each project. Upgrades to the Quadra Community Centre are estimated at $300,000. The community centre, which was built in 1985, is the designated community emergency shelter on Quadra Island but a 2013 evaluation of the centre found the building is at risk of unrepairable damage in the event of a significant earthquake. The regional district has been eyeing seismic upgrades for the community centre since 2013 but the funding hasn’t been available. Meanwhile, the replacement of playground equipment at Hagel park would cost the regional district less money but staff have it ranked behind the community centre in priority. That didn’t sit well with Area D Director Brenda Leigh at last week’s Wednesday board meeting. Cont. page 22

No jobs sacrificed to achieve $1.4 million in savings
Campbell River school board spreads administrative cuts over three years to achieve goal J.R. RARDON CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The Campbell River School District board of directors approved an administrative savings plan that will slash nearly $1.4 million from its budget over the next three years. And it managed the savings without cutting a single job.
“Year one has been incorporated into the budget that was presented to the board and passed at its last meeting,” secretary-treasurer Kevin Patrick told the board during its final 2014-15 meeting Tuesday at the school board office. “This is a separate plan that has to be submitted to the Ministry of Educa-
tion and approved by the ministry, as well.” The budget requires $295,000 in admin cuts next year, with additional cuts of $549,000 in both the 2016-17 and 2017-18 school years. The biggest share of the first-year savings comes from $200,000 in attendance support savings, which Patrick explained is a budgeted item to provide for sick coverage that the district has not typically used in the past. “In most years, that was $200,000 less than would have gone over to
the unrestricted surplus,” he said. Another $68,000 will come from budgeted long-term sick pay that was spent last year but is not expected to be needed in the coming years. “We had a long-term illness last year with an excluded position and that will not continue int the new (school) year,” he said. “It’s not a reduction in a position; rather, it’s that a person who was ill is now able to return to that position.” A further $27,000 for 2015-16 will come

You’re newly graduated, with a great job and a solid future in sight – and you’re making your own money for the first time. You could spend some of it on a great vacation, a new car … or you could start investing in your retirement portfolio. When you’re a young Canadian strapped for cash, with student loans to pay off and lots of new lifestyle expenses, it’s difficult to save for the future. But the experts, and the life experiences of many investors, tell us that without a doubt, starting young is the key to investing successfully for retirement. Even if you start small, start now – because the longer you are in the markets, the more your savings will grow over
example: • Mary invests $2,000 at the beginning of each year between ages 21 and 29, for a total of $18,000 over nine years. Assuming a pretax return of 7 per cent, by age 65, she will have $292,828 in pre-tax savings. • Lynn also invests $2,000 at the beginning of each year with the same pre-tax returns but starts at age 30. To get near Mary’s savings total of $292,828, Lynn will need to invest nearly four times as much -$70,000 over 35 years. And here are some investing tips to get you going: • Are you investing to buy a house or for retirement? Knowing where your money is going will help you define how to invest. • Do your research. You

Regional district board helps applicant by keeping out KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
In an attempt to help the applicant, the Strathcona Regional District board will not endorse an application for a change to the Heriot Bay Inn’s liquor licence. The board was presented with the application at last week’s Wednesday meeting for review. In the application, Quadra Island’s Heriot Bay Inn is asking the BC Liquor Control and Licensing Branch for permission to add a stage and to increase its total occupant load from 100 to 112. Russ Hotsenpiller, the regional district’s chief administrative officer, recommended the organization not make any comment on the application. “If the board takes the position of approval, we would have to move to a public process of some sort to ascertain any implications,” Hotsenpiller said. “It (the regional district) may presume that the current proposal would have little impact on the community or neigh-
bourhood; however, the process for confirming such a position could require additional time as well as the expenditure of funds, and, even though the Liquor Control and Licensing Act provides the ability to mitigate against such requirements, it may be preferable to leave the matter of determining community sentiment in the hands of the LCLB (Liquor Control and Licensing Branch) and the applicant.” But Quadra Island Director Jim Abram was concerned about the regional district staying silent. “This is one of our largest employers on the island, I really don’t want to hold them up in any way,” Abram said. “I’m just thinking it would
be quicker and easier for them if we were to approve it rather than say we don’t have any interest.” Campbell River Director Andy Adams said he was under the impression that by the regional district not providing input, it would show support for the applicant. “My understanding is, by putting ‘no intent’ is basically giving it a pass,” he said. But Area D Director Brenda Leigh said she didn’t see why the regional district would need to go through so many hoops just to give its support. “The application is only proposing to increase the load from 100 patrons to 112,” Leigh said. “It isn’t that significant. I don’t see why we can’t say

vices manager, said the regional district would have to address those points either through a request for written comments via public notice, by holding a referendum, or by holding a public hearing. The board in the end agreed to not provide input on the liquor licence application but Abram asked if the board could explain to the Heriot Bay Inn why it made that decision. “Can we also include something in there that we notify the applicant as to why we’re doing this?” Abram said. “So they know it’s for their benefit.

Cosmetology course gives education a makeover J.R. RARDON CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Campbell River students looking to enter a career in cosmetology will be able to do so from the comfort of home — and at a substantially reduced cost — thanks to the approval of a new course to be offered by School District 72 beginning in September. BAA Cosmetology 11 and 12 will offer select applicants spots in a course that will teach them the theory and practice of hairdressing and provide an overview of operation and management of a hair salon. “When they’re finished, they’ll be completely qualified hairdressers and nail technicians who will be able to work in a cottage industry or in theatre,” said Diana Camerin, career facilitator at Timberline Secondary School. Camerin developed the program with Carihi career facilitator Jeff Lontayao and the assistance of SD72 assistant superintendent Nevenka Fair and secretary-treasurer Kevin Patrick. The course was approved in a unanimous vote by the board of trustees Tuesday night, during its final meeting of the 2014-15 school year. Camerin said she has
been trying to push the program in the school system for years. “I had a vision for this years and years ago. These proposals have probably worn down my last four principals. It’s been a trial by fire; every time I walked in with hairdressing, they quit,” she said to laughter from the board. The program, which Fair said meets all the Ministr y of Education requirements for a self-developed, Board/ Authority Approval course, will be run through a partnership with Industry Hair and Body Care, which will provide a certified instructor. Units will include Cosmetology 11A-D, and 12A-D for a total of 32 credit hours. Students will have to have completed English 10 and Math 10 with passing grades to apply, and enrolment will be limited to 12 students in the first year. To access the program previously, local students would have needed to travel to Courtenay, where the course costs $13,000, or Vancouver, where the cost is $21,000. Through Campbell River School District, the course will cost approximately $1,100 for the student’s kit and textbooks.

“I think it’s remarkable the school district is reaching out and providing opportunities that are not traditional sitting-down-in-rows classrooms,” trustee Ron Kerr said, citing the Teen Flight program run through SeaLand Aviation at Campbell River Airport. “This is another option for people who might decide they want to take that path and now they can be here and do it. They don’t have to leave like everybody else does.” C osmetolog y students can begin recouping their costs as soon as they begin cutting hair, by keeping any tips
they’re offered. After three months of instruction, they can be apprenticed and be paid for their work. “They can come out at the end of June with some money in their pocket and their kits paid for,” said Camerin. “And they will have provided a community service because they’ll be opened at reduced cost to seniors or whoever Industry decides to invite.” To get that money, the students will have to put in time. The program will include hours after final bell and weekends, to accommodate the schedules of their clients.
The program also runs through the summer as a year-round course. Camerin said Industry is looking at the idea of eventually installing cameras and offering the theory portion of the course as an online streaming option throughout the province. Trustee Joyce McMann credited Camerin for her perserverance in continuing to develop and push the program, which the board approved unanimously. “ There was some incentive to moving it along,” Camerin said. “I said I wouldn’t retire until it was actually up and running.”

n June 21, you and all your friends are invited to a very special celebration!
That date, the first day of summer, has been chosen as National Aboriginal Day. It’s an opportunity for everyone to celebrate the cultural richness and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis people. Why June 21? Well, on that day, for centuries, many of the first inhabitants would celebrate the arrival of the warm weather and the pleasures of the summer solstice. The summer solstice is the day of the year with the longest light. It is a day with spiritual significance for many people and is a good time to celebrate Aboriginal people and cultures. The growing recognition of Aboriginal rights in Canadian law led to calls for greater recognition of the contributions of Aboriginal peoples to Canadian society. Shortly after the adoption of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982, the National Indian Brotherhood, the leading body representing First Nations in Canada, called for the creation of a yearly “National Aboriginal Solidarity Day” on June 21. Pressure for a national day of recognition continued to grow during the following decade as new ways were sought to bridge the divide between Aboriginal peoples and Canadians,
especially in the wake of the 1990 Oka Crisis. In 1995, the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples recommended the designation of a “National First Peoples Day” as a way to focus attention on the history, achievements and contributions of Aboriginal peoples in Canada. This message was repeated later that year during the Sacred Assembly, a national conference chaired by Elijah Harper, which called for a national holiday to celebrate the contributions of Aboriginal peoples. On June 13, 1996, after considerable consultation with Aboriginal organizations, June 21 was officially declared National Aboriginal Day. Since its inauguration, National Aboriginal Day has become part of the annual nationwide Celebrate Canada! festivities held from June 21 to July 1. June 21 was chosen because of the cultural significance of the summer solstice and because many Aboriginal groups mark this day as a time to celebrate their heritage. Setting aside a day for Aboriginal peoples is part of the wider recognition of their important place within the fabric of Canada and the ongoing contributions to Canadian society made by First Nations, Métis and Inuit. National Aboriginal Day is for all Canadians, so share in the celebration!

National Aboriginal day Unique Training Program Inspires Career Success The unemployment rate for the working-age Aboriginal population is more than twice the rate for other Canadians of the same age, and it’s even higher for those living on reserves – especially remote First Nations communities such as Ahousaht in the Clayoquot Sound. The Ahousaht Nation has 25 reserve sites within the nation’s territories, the largest being on Flores Island, all accessible only by floatplane or boat. With over 2,000 members, Ahousaht Nation is the largest of the Nuu-chahnulth nations, and the largest single nation on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Approximately one third of Ahousaht live within Ahousaht traditional territories. Cermaq Canada, B.C.’s second largest salmon farming company with 27 sea sites around Vancouver Island, has had a protocol agreement with Ahousaht for more than a decade. The agreement was renewed, and broadened, in 2010 with a goal of working together to develop a sustainable salmon aquaculture business, incorporating Ahousaht’s respect for and balance among all living things. One of the cornerstones of the partnership is to collectively develop aquaculture training programs for Ahousaht people that lead to long-term, well paying, year-round employment.
Cermaq and Ahousaht have partnered with Excel Career College to deliver a unique Aquaculture Technician Diploma Program. One of the most important keys to the success of the program is that it does not require students to travel to larger centres like Nanaimo and Campbell River, but rather takes place in the remote communities with customized curriculum for each community to effectively train students, preparing them for the realities of the job. In order to give the students the best possible education in their remote communities, the Excel team tries to hire a liaison and some instructors from within each First Nations band. As part of the curriculum, they have elders and cultural leaders speak specifically to the students about bringing their culture to the workplace, and the adaptations they might experience – encouraging them to move forward. The entire program (six months of training plus a practicum) is geared towards the job – what happens on the job, what it feels like on the job, and how to respond to situations on the job. It’s very specific to what the students will encounter working in the aquaculture industry in British Columbia.

National Aboriginal day “We have worked with some amazing students delivering this program, and are proud to say we have a hiring success rate of over 95% for students upon graduation,” said Pauline Stevenson, founding President of Excel Career College. “By delivering the program in their community, working with local people, and tailoring it directly to the job we’ve managed to put great people to work in rewarding careers.” One of the recent graduates, Beau Campbell, in his early 20s from Ahousaht is a perfect example. He was struggling to find full-time, long-term employment, having worked at a fish plant in Ucluelet and as a water taxi driver in the summer. He didn’t want to worry any more about where he would be next week, or next month – he wanted a stable job – so he decided to take the program because he has friends in the industry. It wasn’t until Beau was on his practicum at a Cermaq farm near Tofino that he realized the importance of the classes he was taking and how prepared he was to be on the job. “It’s something that I could see myself doing and maybe keep climbing the ladder to better my position with the company,” said Campbell. His advice to anyone entering the program is to “show up and have a mind ready to learn. If you put your mind to it then there’s nothing holding you back from finishing the program and getting a good job.” Since its inception, the program has changed slightly, adapting to different recommendations based on changes in the industry. The fundamentals, however, have stayed the same from day one – training for the job to ease the transition into employment with some of the industry’s most recognized companies, such as Cermaq Canada, Grieg Seafood, Marine Harvest Canada, Creative Salmon, Robertson Creek Hatchery, AKVA Group North America and Seed Science. “Cermaq Canada’s commitment is to provide opportunities for employment in the remote communities, while supporting training and education for First Nation and community partners,” said Laurie Jensen, Communications & Corporate Sustainability Manager. “Programs such as
these are extremely valuable as they provide the necessary skills to succeed on the job.” So far the program has been offered by Grieg Seafood and Muchalaht First Nation in Tsaxana, Cermaq Canada and the Ahousaht First Nation, and Marine Harvest and the Gwa’sala-’Nakwaxda’xw First Nation in Port Hardy but, as the aquaculture industry continues to expand, Excel is looking to forge more partnerships with other First Nation bands. “It seems that between growth, attrition, and upward mobility we haven’t even come close to filling the need in the industry for trained, certified employees,” said Stevenson. “We expect to take the program on the road so we’re ready to go almost at the drop of a hat.” What it comes down to is that the program acts as a conduit for the students to see what they’re capable of, which then fuels a drive to succeed and pursue their aspirations.

or more than 4,000 years, First Nations people have cultivated many different kinds of corn. For example, by the 1500s, the Iroquois were already growing 150 varieties of corn, which were used for food and trade. This grain that we find so frequently on our plates was the very basis of the First Nations diet for a very long time. Pumpkins, squash and beans have also been

Gigo-kiniginige (Salmon chowder) A Sechelt recipe. 6-8 servings
Ingredients:
4 big cattail roots diced, and cooked in butter (The cattail roots may be replaced by 2 cups [500 ml] of chopped leeks sautéed in a bit of butter and vegetable oil and then simmered for 15 minutes.) 5 cups (1.25 L) of water 1 1/4 lb (675 g) of fresh salmon cut into large pieces 1/4 tsp (1.25 ml) pepper 2 tsp (9 ml) sea salt
Method:
Simmer the cattail roots in water for 40 minutes. Add the other ingredients and let simmer for another 10 minutes.
Fried Bannock
A Métis recipe. 6 servings
Ingredients: 3 cups (750 ml) sifted flour 1 tsp (5 ml) salt 1–2 tbsp (15–30 ml) baking powder
Water Vegetable oil or lard
Method:
Mix half of the flour with the remaining dry ingredients. Add water until the mixture becomes thick, like paper maché paste. Add more flour until the dough feels like a soft earlobe. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until very hot but not smoking. Break off small pieces of the dough, and flatten each to the size of your palm. Place the pieces in the hot oil. Turn over after 3–4 minutes, or when golden brown. Place the bannock on a paper towel to soak up the excess grease. Serve plain or with maple syrup or blueberry jam.

Mayor interested in locating Maritime Museum of B.C. in Campbell River KENDRA WONG BLACK PRESS
Several coastal communities on Vancouver Island have expressed interest in having the Maritime Museum of B.C. relocate to their municipality, if they can’t find a home in Victoria. Early this month, the province announced negotiations between the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority and the Maritime Museum of B.C. were at an impasse and have asked the museum to vacate their facility in Bastion Square by Sept. 30. The decision has sent board members scrambling to come up with a solution to house the more than 35,000-artifact collection. But there may be other options if they can’t find a permanent facility in Victoria. Campbell River Mayor Andy Adams said they’re “very interested” in the idea of moving the maritime museum up island. “Of course Campbell River would be interested,” said Adams, who grew up in Victoria and has been to the museum several times.
MaritiMe Heritage Centre pHoto
Mayor Andy Adams believes the Maritime Museum of B.C. could come to Campbell River where it would complement our Maritime Heritage Centre shown here with volunteer tour guide Brian Kyle.
“It would be a natural fit with our existing Maritime Heritage Centre where we have a significant number of maritime artifacts and most notably, the BPC 45, which is the same boat that is on the Canadian $5 bill. We certainly see a natural fit.” Ad ams adde d he hopes to bring the idea to council, but was quick to point out there are a lot of missing pieces of the puzzle that still need to be addressed. “We would need to know

what all is involved, what the square footage is that is required, what’s the plan for operational management and budgets,” he said, noting that their current maritime museum has nearly max out its current space. “Why would we not be interested?” Port Alberni Mayor M i k e Ru t t a n a l s o expressed interest in the museum that he said would compliment its local maritime museum. “It’s about what kind of facility they need
and trying to make it fit between us and them and I’m sure somehow we can make it happen if they are seriously interested in moving,” said Ruttan. He said a number of facilitates come to mind, including the Glenwood Centre, a building roughly the size of a two gymnasiums and a few schools that are being closed down that will be vacant at the end of the summer, that could potentially house the museum on a temporary basis. “It’s really a matter of making the museum come here and see what’s available, but we’d certainly be delighted to have them.” Nanaimo Mayor Bill McKay said they would be open to having a conversation with the maritime museum about the possibility of making the short move from Victoria to Nanaimo. “Any attractions that people want to visit while they’re here in our community, as well as our own citizens that are property established and presented, they create interest in the community,” said McKay.
A variety of classes are also available for grade 9-12 students online through our distributed learning program, 72 Ways 2 Learn.

was uncomfortable but not something our 36’ sailboat couldn’t handle. The problem came when the tossing and turning broke up a lot of sediment from the bottom of the fuel tank which quickly clogged the fuel filters and the fuel intake line. We were forced to turn back and with limited engine power we had to put up a sail in heavy winds and sail into Browns Bay. We called Browns Bay Marina and they contacted a local water taxi to meet us at the entrance to the
marina and guide us in with a tow in case we lost all power. We made it to the fuel dock and that’s when we experienced the full generosity of the Browns Bay staff. Sarah took our initial distress call and organized the water taxi escort. Ester came to our aid by picking up new filters from Campbell River. Neil brought us a fuel pump to try and pump out the bad fuel and stayed on hand to bring us more fuel and even cut us a piece of wood to remount the fuel tank. Brent was on hand to offer advice and make sure we got the things we needed to get back on the water. The Browns Bay staff went far beyond the call of duty and that made all the difference for us and the remainder of our trip!

Juno-winner Shari Ulrich will play the Big Yellow Hall in Merville June 26.
The Big Yellow Merville Hall is up and running again with its concert series to help raise awareness of the Stolen Church project. On Friday, June 26, join Canadian folk music icon, songstress Shari Ulrich, as she delights fans, old and new. Ulrich is many things: a multi-Juno Award winning artist, teacher, actor, composer, multi-instrumentalist and a prolific songwriter with a wealth of experiences to draw on. Her first band, Pied Pumpkin (with Rick Scott and Joe Mock), helped to launch the enduring Squash Records label. She has played her fiddle and sung alongside Barney
Bentall and Tom Taylor in BTU; played with a cast of characters, including Valdy, in The Hometown Band; with Bill Henderson and Roy Forbes in UHF; and currently hits the international stage as a solo artist as well as with the bluegrass project, The High Bar Gang. At the 2014 Canadian Folk Music Awards, The High Bar Gang won Vocal Group of the Year while Ulrich, herself, won the English Songwriter of the Year award for her most recent CD, Everywhere I Go. The CD was produced by her daughter, Julia Graff, a McGill University graduate, as a project for her Masters in Music in Sound
Recording in 2013. Ulrich was challenged to write the album in a month before recording began in Montreal. Fortunately, accepting her daughter’s challenge totally overrode the reality that Ulrich didn’t have any new songs written which triggered a one-month songwriting frenzy. The CD is a wild success and Ulrich has been touring it to rave reviews ever since. Her show at the Big Yellow Hall will bring Ulrich together with two other amazing musicians, Trent Freeman (fiddle) and Eric Wright (cello), both of the bands The Fretless and Speaker Face. Freeman and Wright will open the show and then
Chilkat robe completes new exhibit Chief Billy Assu’s Chilkat Robe has arrived back in Cape Mudge after a long journey across the country. This remarkable piece, weaved by Mary Hunt, will be on display as part of a new exhibit, The Man Behind the Masks: The Life & Legacy of Chief Billy Assu. On loan from the Canadian Museum of History, this magnificent robe will spend the next eleven months at Nuyumbalees Cultural Centre before heading north to Alert Bay. The Centre is open daily from 10 a.m.-4 p.m., includ-
ing holidays. For more information email tours@nuyumbalees.com or call 250-2853733. Open since 1979, Nuyumbalees Cultural Centre was the first facility of its kind in Canada designed specifically to house a repatriated collection. Through the dramatic artwork and masks, the potlatch story is shared with visitors. Most recently, seven pieces removed from the community in 1908 have returned home after a long journey which has seen them travel throughout the world.
back up Ulrich on some of her beautiful compositions. Get ready to hear some smooth, frenetic and innovative string music from these two stellar musicians. To avoid disappointment, be sure to get your tickets early. The recent Big Yellow Merville Hall bluegrass hootenanny with The Foggy Hogtown Boys was a total sellout. Tickets for the Friday, June 26 show at the Big Yellow Merville Hall are available at Long & McQuade, Courtenay; The Music Plant, Campbell River; and Blue Heron Books, Comox. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the concert starts at 7:30. Cost is $18 advance – $20 at the door and $15 youth.

Cellobration of classical music is no VICE Vancouver Island cellist Helena Jung heads ensemble
The Friends of Music and the Vancouver Island cellist Helena Jung, will present a stunning cello concert June 28 that will feature four more remarkable cellists from Vancouver. Cellobration Series VII brings together a singularly unique ensemble, the Vancouver Island Cello Ensemble (VICE), at Trinity Presbyterian
Church. The group will perform a number of well-known classical pieces such as Rossini’s William Tell Overture, Bizet’s Carmen, Bach`s Brandenburg Concerto No.6 and Albinoni’s Adagio. These days, the cello ensemble is among the most popular of chamber ensembles in the world. VICE, composed of energetic and keen B.C. cellists, will present an innovative and fresh sound at the Campbell River performances. Lead cellist, Helena Jung, is excited to have the ensemble’s debut
concert in three cities in North Vancouver Island this year. They have already booked several more concerts in Vancouver and across the island. Jung has had a diverse career as a soloist, chamber and orchestral musician and teacher. Helena received her BMus and MMus from Ewha University in Seoul, Korea, and has performed with the Jeunesses Musical World Orchestra, the Seoul Youth Philharmonic Orchestra and the Gyeonggi Provincial Philharmonic Orchestra as principal cellist. She

Last Saturday I was invited to take part in the Paul Davis Systems first annual fishing derby and I was delighted to see that the people assigned to the boats had fun and many were fishing for the first time in Campbell River. The boat teams were announced at 8 a.m. and then we headed out to the marina to get out on the water. We were instructed to be finished fishing by 2 p.m. then head over to the shop for the prize presentation, refreshments and barbecue. Taunya Holland came away with the big fish of the day prize her catch came in at 17 pounds. The weather was windy but by noon the weather settled down and fun was had by all. The people who fish Bamfield on a regular basis found it tough going in the waters near Camp-
bell River. Those fishing plugs in the deeper water had good success and were getting bigger fish. At times on the sounder, the screen showed a huge amount of bait on the bottom and needlefish Hoochies such as a Lady Gaga and Michael Jackson were getting hits on a regular basis. At Discovery Pier, six fish have been registered and on June 14 Doug Turko brought in a 27 pound spring and is tied with Jack Heemskerk who caught his 27 pounder on May 16. Ben Luck had mentioned it’s quite common for the big fish to be in the area this time of year. Last week there were a number of windy days that kept many boats off the water on lakes like Roberts and the Upper Campbell. There was another planting of trout in Echo as 500 were re-

Just in time for Family Fishing Weekend, volunteers installed a new fishing dock at Echo Lake one of the sites where you can fish for free this weekend.
Fishing is free this Fathers’ Day weekend
F
ather’s Day weekend is about spending time with Dad. And what better way to have fun in the outdoors than freshwater fishing as a family? During the 16th Annual Family Fishing Weekend, held over Father’s Day weekend June 19-21, Canadian families throughout the province may borrow equipment, learn more about freshwater fishing, partake in a variety of activities or simply enjoy spending time together fishing B.C.’s lakes, rivers, streams, and tidal waters. And for the duration of the weekend families may fish without needing to purchase a licence. “Whether you are learning together or spending a day enjoying a sport that you have enjoyed together for a long time, Family Fishing Weekend is a great way for the whole family to spend time together with Dad,” said Michele Dusterhoft, President, Family Fishing Society of BC. “It brings novices and experts together to enjoy what the sport has to offer in a fun environment.” Hosted by The Family Fishing Society of BC and volunteer-led community groups, over 50 Family Fishing Weekend events
across the province will feature hands-on help for beginners and celebrate the tradition of recreational fishing in B.C. Loaner rods, reels and tackle are provided for those who do not have their own gear. The Family Fishing Society estimates that 25,000 British Columbians participate in Family Fishing Weekend each year. Events will be held across Vancouver Island here are some local ones: n Campbell River: Discovery Pier, June 20 - 21. Echo Lake, June 20. n Courtenay: Fish & Game Pond, June 20 – 21. n Gold River: Star Lake, June 21. n Quadra Island: Village Bay Lake, June 20 – 21 Family Fishing Weekend is supported by the Province of B.C., Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC, Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation, and federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans. “Family Fishing Weekend is designed to be as accessible as possible not only so people are able to enjoy the sport with friends and family but also to provide opportunities
to learn about the fish, their environment and the importance of conservation,” says Brian Springinotic, CEO, Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation. “It reminds people that with enjoyment of the activity comes the need for responsible use, sustainable use, and stewardship of the resource to ensure many future generations will be enjoying fishing in our province.” In addition to supporting the Family fishing Weekend, Habitat Conservation Trust has been a key partner in expanding dock infrastructure to improve access to fishing in both urban and rural regions of BC. A complete list of participating communi-
ties, locations and event descriptions, along with step-by-step fishing instructions and regulations can be found at www.bcfamilyfishing. com. Freshwater and tidal fishing regulations, including daily catch quotas, still apply during Family Fishing Weekend. Details are posted at www.pac.dfompo.gc.ca or www.fishing.gov.bc.ca. The Family Fishing Society of BC was established in 2001 to encourage new anglers as well as promote and coordinate Family Fishing Weekend and other angling initiatives targeted toward families and young people. 2015 marks the 16th year of this licence-free fishing weekend.

GOLF Weekly Uneven Lies If you have ever played here at the Storey Creek Golf Course you might find yourself faced with some difficult lies. It is not often that you will be hitting your golf ball from a level or flat lie, so here are some key pointers to put in to your shot arsenal when you have to play the ball in these scenarios. The key to playing from uneven lies is posture. We need to establish a position from where we can get the golf club to bottom out slightly in front of the golf ball more consistently. To do so, you cannot address the golf ball the same way you would on a level lie.
Side hill lie with the ball above your feet

The idea is to stand a little taller and swing a little flatter. Bend less from the hips, and swing the club more around than up. Allow for the ball to curve left from this lie due to the flatter plane and more upright lie angle at impact. Stand slightly farther from the ball with a neutral ball position, regular grip and aim slightly right of the target. I do not recommend choking up on the club, as this might require standing a little closer and it could force the club on a more upright plane.
Side hill lie with the ball below your feet
The exact opposite of above. Stand a little closer, bend more from the hips and swing more up and down. The key here is a steeper attack angle, so the posture and distance from the ball need to facilitate that. Allow for the ball to curve slightly right due to the more vertical swing plane and flatter lie angle at impact. Grip and ball position are neutral.
Uphill lie
This shot requires a level attack angle, with your shoulders parallel and spine perpendicular to the slope — think of more rear side bend, or tilt to the spine. Imagine swinging down the slope and up the slope, and allow for the ball to fly considerably higher, which in most cases will require you to use less loft to hit the shot the correct distance. For example, a 7 iron may come off like a 9 iron. It’s easy to come up short.

This is the toughest lie in golf. To play from this unwanted situation, change your posture exactly the opposite of the uphill lie. Your shoulders should be parallel and spine perpendicular to slope with help you swing more “down the hill.” The spine will be tilted forward and the weight will be on your lead foot. Swing “up the hill and down the hill” at the ball and allow for the flight to be much lower than normal trajectory. If you are faced with this shot to an unprotected green, it is not a problem. If the green is uphill or protected, it might be best to simply lay up in front. The biggest problem I see here is when players try to help this shot in the air and hit it fat.

Balance
The most difficult part of playing from hills is balance. It’s essential to keep what’s called your “swing center” over the ball. You cannot let the body sway too far off the ball, as the hill will not allow you to get back to impact in balance. I recommend using one more club in most instances, as the shot becomes more of an “armsy” one. You can learn to play from slopes if you change your posture and DO NOT try to fight the hill or the flight that ensues. Sometimes the golf course has us beat, and it’s usually best to take our medicine and go on from there.

reputation for consistently subverting climate talks and diminishing mitigation targets. This has been the case internationally and nationally. After nine years of promises he has yet to address the huge carbon emissions from Canada’s oil and gas industry. This country still has no climate mitigation strategy, and habitually falls far short of reaching its United Nations’ carbon emission obligations. At the G7 summit, according to a CBC report, Canada’s Prime Minister described “Russian President Vladimir Putin as a disruptive force whose former role in the [G8] organization inhibited co-operation.” Mr. Harper is quoted as saying, “Mr. Putin makes it his business to be deliberately troublesome.” But this is precisely the reputation Mr. Harper has developed in all climate negotiations involving him — green-

house gas (GHG) reductions would invariably be higher and emissions lower without the Prime Minister’s involvement. If Mr. Putin is politically “troublesome”, Mr. Harper is his environmental equivalent. Nonetheless, the G7’s Declaration is significant, stressing that its members be “mindful” of the “latest IPCC results” while emphasizing “that deep cuts in global greenhouse gas emissions are required
with a decarbonization of the global economy over the course of this century.” As a member of the G7, Canada has been forced to recognize the principle and the target of a decarbonized economy. Mr. Harper may be correct in assuring existing businesses that, “Nobody is going to start to shut down their industries or turn off the lights. We have to find a way to lower carbon emitting energy.” His
obvious hedging leave him pushing the proverbial river. The trend to green “industries” and zero carbon energies is unstoppable. The G7 has identified its North Star and can now navigate to its destination. Any detours and deviations will be more obvious. The tar sands, LNG projects, coal exports and any development involving fossil fuels will henceforth be subject to new levels of scrutiny and
censure. Yes, 2100 is 85 years away. But a United Nations’ Climate Change Conference (COP21) to establish new binding GHG reductions will be held in Paris this December. More G7s will follow. And, as global climate change becomes increasingly disruptive and costly, Mr. Harper’s contribution will be judged as stubborn, anachronistic and irresponsible.

PUTTING SCIENCE INTO ACTION

xtracting fish DNA is not what Daniela Rodrigues expected to be doing when she came to Canada as part of Science without Borders. But trying something new was, and the international exchange program between Canada and Brazil certainly delivered that. “They came up with this opportunity and I decided, ‘Okay, I am going to try,’” the Brazilian chemistry student said. “‘It will be good for me …a new experience in another area.” That new experience included not only studying English and biology at North Island College (NIC) but also working with the B.C.

The centre provides diagnostic and research services for wild and farmed fish health assessments, pathogen monitoring, prevention

Tabata, manager of the college’s Centre for Applied Research, Technology and Innovation said that paved the way for BC CAHS to get involved with the college and Science without Borders. “It seemed like a great fit,” Tabata said. But before Rodrigues could begin the work experience at BCCAHS, she needed to brush up on her English. Her lack of English actually influenced her first choice in applying to the program. Naturally, she wanted to go on an exchange to Portugal. Portuguese is the dominant language in Brazil, reflecting its origin as a colony of that European country. “But there were so many Brazilian students applying for Portugal,” Rodrigues said. Consequently, applications to that country were capped, Rodrigues said. So, an Englishspeaking country was her second choice.
“
BC Centre for Aquatic Health Sciences research assistant Heather Brown, researcher/diagnostician Dr. Ahmed Siah, and NIC’s Science without Borders student Daniela Rodrigues go over data on a computer screen at the centre’s lab in Campbell River.
“I chose English because I thought, ‘Oh, it’s a good opportunity,’” Rodrigues said. “Because to learn English in Brazil, you can do that but it is not as good as going to another country.” From there it was choosing which English-speaking country: Canada, Australia, the United States? She studied the options, looking at quality of life and education.
“I thought, ‘Oh, Canada seems nice and it’s different,” she said. The city and educational institution was selected for her and that brought her to the Comox Valley and North Island College. She has been pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry at the Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso in her hometown of Cuiaba, a city of over 500,000 people in east-
ern Brazil. When she first came to North Island College, she had planned to do something in chemistry but focused on biology, where there were greater learning opportunities. But first, there was that small matter of improving her English. She chose to live with a Canadian family to develop her language skills. “It was really hard at Cont. page 65

first for me because I was shy, afraid of talking to people because of my English,” she said. “But, after three months it was getting better for me. “I improved so much my English in this short time that I have been here.” Her homestay family also introduced her to Vancouver Island and British Columbia, touring her around to many places. “It’s amazing living here. Everywhere you look it is so beautiful; not only the place but the people here,” she said. Coming from tropical Brazil, she realizes how lucky she is to live in one of the warmer parts of Canada. She has grown to appreciate this country. “I love Canada,” she said. “Canadians I like very much because they are so polite, you know. I really like that.” She left a positive impression on her coworkers at BC CAHS as well. Dr. Ahmed Siah was one of her supervi-
sors there and he was impressed with Rodrigues, NIC’s second Science without Borders student to work with BC CAHS. Flavia Adais, from Maceio, Brazil, also worked with the organization. “She was great and Flavia as well,” he said. “They achieved their objective which is to learn about microbiology,” Siah said. “They were integrated into the team.” “I hope we have helped them for their future work at least to bring back to Brazil, how we work here in a professional lab.” After her placement ended, Rodrigues went back to Cuiaba to finish her degree. Her plans are to pursue a master’s degree and she may apply to do it in another country. She credits her SwB experience with giving her the confidence to do that. She is enthusiastic about the program saying it is beneficial to both Canada and Brazil. She believes Brazilians bring a new perspective and new ideas to Canada. The exchange

has given her the opportunity to learn new techniques, which she will bring back to her native country. It also gave her the opportunity to grow as a person. “I can bring the experience with me,” she said. “Not only my experience with working but what I’ve become since I came here. “Because, I’ve changed a lot; my objectives and the way I am now is also changed.” In addition to working with the BC CAHS, Science without Borders students from Brazil have also been studying industrial automation, mobile application development, and aircraft structures at NIC.
The Campbell River Volunteer Society will hold their AGM and 25th Anniversary celebration at the Campbell River Museum on Monday, June 22. In 1988, an initiative by the Committee for the Promotion of Healthy Aging identified a need for a Volunteer Centre in Campbell River. The first Board of Directors was formed in 1989 and the Centre became a society on July 10, 1990. They are now a vibrant community agency supporting nonprofit organizations and volunteer programs in Campbell River and surrounding areas. The AGM and 25th Anniver-
Military alert Texada Island Range The warm weather is drawing people out onto the water and beaches early this season and 19 Wing Comox would like to remind
residents, particularly those near the waters surrounding Texada Island, that the area is an active pyrotechnics range. The range is used primarily by search and rescue crews training in the safe and effective use of both high
intensity parachute flares and marine smoke markers. Flares are used in military search and rescue operations and training in order to illuminate the night sky, while smoke canisters are used to aid in the rescue of people at sea.

Paws & Claws For people who
A
Facebook group in Campbell River is utilizing the speed of the internet, the connectivity of social media and the power of word of mouth to make the community safe for lost dogs and other animals. "It took a little while to catch on but once it did…" said Nikki Watts, one of the administrators of Lost And Found Animals of Campbell River. It started back in 2012 when Megan Bereskin saw a "quite thin and straggly" dog wandering around the airport for quite a few weeks.
Facebook group finds, posts and searches for lost animals Story/photos by Alistair Taylor
"I love animals and would do anything for them, they are my passion," Bereskin says on the Facebook site. She decided she needed a little bit of help to find this dog's owners or at least get it some help. So she started the Facebook page and the word got out. Her idea was to begin a page that could share the dog's picture and hopefully get the dog some help. "She posted it and everybody was just 'Oh, let's find the dog,'" Watts said. Many people hopped right on board and the dog was eventually caught by two women from the SPCA. It testified to the usefulness of social media in helping these animals out. "That is how it all began," Watts said. "From April until the following January of 2013, approximately 40 animals were returned to owners via being posted to the page as either lost or found." Bereskin ran the group for a while but it "got kinda big," Watts said, and so she asked Watts to come on board and help. The membership of the group has grown to 2,375 members. It is a closed group that requires the administrator to

their pets.
approve each person, which protects the integrity of the group and keeps out the spam as much as possible, Watts said. The group serves as eyes and ears on the streets of the community. If an animal is spotted wandering around the street, people will alert the group and the posting will be reposted until an owner is found. If no owner is found, members of the group will go out looking for the animal. "The members are a variety of wonderful people, many who do not even own pets but volunteer their time by driving to look for animals," Watts said. "Some help coordinate posts between those that are out looking and the online sightings and always cheer when an animal is found." It is not a standalone entity but a culmination of other pages in the community which includes Lost Pets CR and others including Comox Valley lost and found and Vancouver Island Pet Database. Many of the participants don't even live in Campbell River but assist by crossposting and checking other Facebook pages or online venues like Craigslist and CR Buy, Sell and Trade. When the whisperings of a new animal control contract in Campbell River began in January 2013 and the resulting announcement followed in March by the SPCA that they were leaving, the group's purpose was truly realized, Watts said. To date, there are more than 513 animals that have found their way home. "Megan and I both believe that the LFACR is not a means to keep animals away from the proper authorities but rather a way to keep wandering and stray animals safe and also for owners to get their animals home safe and, in most situations, faster,"
Watts said. People are always urged to check with the proper authorities, whether it is Coast Animal Care (which got the animal control contract from the city) or the SPCA (which found a way to stay in the community as an educational and animal advocate group). They are often called for advice. The SPCA even posts their strays and founds to their webpage which can be shared with the community on the other pages in case someone does not see the SPCA post. The group is more of a cooperative than anything. "Nobody's really in charge. Everybody just works together," said Bonnie Fulton, a volunteer with the group. "Everything comes down to what's good for the animals." As an example, consider a lost dog. On many occasions, the lost or found animal is posted to the page, details are given, one or more people will search and, in most cases, the animal is found. "Sometimes it can be six or eight people (involved in the search)," Fulton said. The group has evolved to include cats, small animals, dogs and even farm animals. The success stories include kittens found in the engine of a car from Merritt. There was SPCA manager Stephanie Arkwright getting her cat Thomas back after it had been missing for two years. Another woman's dog had been lost in the woods for a week before it was found by campers. "The whole idea stemmed from one person and has become a community project," Watts said. Watts gets involved in the searches because her work schedule involves one week

There are ideas and plans in mind to improve the process. Walkie talkies would be useful during a search when not everyone has internet access. The Facebook page has a lot of information available to help with searches or what to do when you have found an animal. Fulton and Watts have a lot of experience themselves with finding animals. They say they always carry treats and one of their top tips when you try to recover a dog is to not chase it. Instead, walk or run away from it. The animal's curiosity will compel it to follow you but if you chase after it to try and grab its collar, it will run away. An example of a successful search is this story posted on the Facebook page: "Mimi is back and is resting! She has been bathed, dewormed, vaccinated, fed and cuddled and is now resting! Stressful day for her. A huge thanks again to the people that found her and the ones that spend their time searching and rescuing cats. Thanks to everyone that kept an eye out for Mimi for the last five months. Mimi and her sister will be kept indoors for their safety." The "found our way home" folder on the Facebook page boasts 490 photos (with 10 still waiting to move) and more than 23 in the new folder. The group has proven to be a runaway success but they can always use more eyes and people willing to make sure Campbell River's animals are safe.

Yes, even with the continuing warm weather and lack of rain, the city reports that the living roof at City Hall is alive and well. “Some people have been asking whether the plants on the roof are okay because they are red and yellow. The answer is yes, and they’re supposed to be that colour. The sedum plants were selected for this location because they’re drought tolerant, require very little watering and maintenance. The red and yellow appearance was chosen to mimic the look of the plants on the dry, rocky bluffs visible across the water on Quadra Island,” says Jason Decksheimer, the city’s asset management supervisor. “The 15,000 sedums on top of the city hall roof are quite small, and might be difficult to see from a distance, but we’re happy to report that they’re doing the job they were designed to do.” The living roof (also called a green roof for the environmental benefits it provides) is projected to double the life of the underlying conventional roof from 25 to 50 years by protecting the roof from ultra violet radiation, temperature variations and physical damage. The vegetation layer also provides an insulating layer which reduces the need for heating and cooling in the building and absorbs storm water, and fine particulate matter. The city hall roof also has an inner courtyard (not visible from the street) with a Japanese style garden designed to mirror gardens in Campbell River’s sister city Ishikari, Japan. This inner courtyard contains more than 1,100 shrubs, succulents, ferns, and wildflowers including Oregon grape, stonecrop, tiger lily, coastal strawberry, deer fern, salal, licorice fern, sword fern, clematis and honeysuckle. The city hall roof received a national award from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities for Green Building and a provincial Climate and Energy award as it was the first extensive green roof retrofit to an existing civic facility in British Columbia. The green roof cost $489,000 and was funded 100 per cent through Federal Gas Tax Dollars (Community Works Fund). This Community Works Funding was available for environmentally friendly municipal infrastructure projects that contribute to reduced greenhouse gas emissions, cleaner water or cleaner air. Using this funding meant that there was no draw on local taxation and the city was able to save money that would have paid for a conventional roof replacement. Want to learn more? The City of Campbell River offers tours to community groups and individuals interested in viewing the green roof. For more information or to book a tour contact City Hall at 250286-5700.

Pursuing Pinot Noir – the lightest red wine!
FRIDAY, JUNE JUNE 19, 19, 2015 2015 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR | 71 FRIDAY,
www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com
WINE
WISE Doug Sloan
Most red wines are judged by their sheer power and intensity. Often as light as a rosé, Pinot Noir’s spiritual home is in France’s Burgundy. Sadly, good Burgundy doesn’t come cheap. But that doesn’t mean that exploring the many alternative subtleties of Pinot Noir has to be overlooked, under appreciated or just plain misunderstood. As is often the case, some of our most affordable wines come to us from California. An entry-level example of this teasingly tasty light red wine Barefoot Pinot Noir $8.70 offers up subtle, smooth cherry and wild raspberry flavours with a sprinkling of spice. This is a summer style of Pinot Noir for everyday enjoyment. Give it an hour in the ‘fridge then splash it in a glass! With its potentially and comparatively delicate layers of aroma and flavour from violets through berries and green vegetables and herbs into spices, leather, roasted meats and a mushroom and
truffle kind of medley often described as “forest floor” – Pinot Noir is much more about subtlety than sheer power. Australia has its own varied ways with this minx of a wine grape. Barely floral, more jammy baked strawberries, there is still a light leathery chocolate hint of fresh tobacco leaf mingling with the fruit in Lindemans Bin 99 Pinot Noir $12.99. On the lighter side – and a great starting point for white wine lovers getting curious about reds this is a terribly easy red wine to like. Exposed as “The Heartbreak Grape” in Marq de Villiers’ 1994
study, Pinot Noir has long been considered difficult to grow successfully and just as challenging to turn into fine wine. Recent developments in “New World” vineyards seem to be upsetting that notion with tasty wines from Chile, California, Australia, South Africa, Oregon and British Columbia. Cono Sur Organic Pinot Noir $13.65 from Chile is very much a “textbook” New World Pinot Noir – with that elusive scent of fresh cut beets over dark cherry and jammy strawberry flavours and that “tree bark” liquorice twist of fresh leathery tobacco leaf. Great sipped solo, this is also marvellous with barbequed salmon, chicken and pork. Our own B.C. winemakers are working with ripe fruit in a variety of different microclimates. The slight differences in ‘terroir’ are amplified by decisions winemakers make both in the vineyard – which strains or clones they choose to plant – and in the winery - with

choices about natural ‘hot’ or controlled ‘cool’ fermentation and a wide selection of techniques and choices in oak aging. From British Columbia’s up and coming Similkameen Valley, Eau Vivre Pinot Noir 2013 $21 has recently won inclusion in the Lieutenant Governor’s Awards for a second year in a row. It dazzles with its concentrated aromas and flavours. Light in colour - as “The Heartbreak Grape” can be - it is ‘silky’ on the tongue and surprisingly richly flavoured with elegantly soft strawberry and black cherry flavours and a kiss of vanilla in the finish. Arguably the most intriguing example from British Columbia that this WineWise guy has come across in the last year, Synchromesh Pinot Noir $27 is grown in the northern
Synchromesh Pinot Noir is the most intriguing offering from B.C. last year.
Okanagan Valley in East Kelowna’s Palo Solera Vineyards. There’s a natural simplicity to this luscious and seriously supple red – ripe berry fruit, fresh sliced beet aromas and flavours and subtle sage and earthy thyme complexities in the long aftertaste. Heemskerk is Treasury Wines’ Tasmanian brand producing seri-
ously smart, seriously Tasmanian wines. From Australia’s dependably coolest growing region. Heemskerk’s Abel’s Tempest Pinot Noir $34.50 has a medley of bright, sassy cherry berry fruit, a sprinkling of plums and prunes, and spicy hazelnut aromas that follow though onto the tongue. Lush ‘fat’ and distractingly
rich fruit overlays the earthy mushroom and truffle elegance of French oak barrel aging. Magnificently mirroring much more exclusive and expensive French wines from Burgundy, Marimar Estate ‘La Masia’ Don Miguel Vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir $45.99 takes California’s efforts with this teasingly difficult wine grape to new heights. Concentrated layers of cherries, berries, raisins and dried prunes hover over an earthy undercurrent of mushrooms and truffles before sliding into subtle echoes of molasses, dark chocolate and coffee. Simply stunning! With salmon showing up in groceries everywhere, there’s no better time to find your own favourite Pinot Noir. Reach WineWise by email to douglas_sloan@ yahoo.com

Our competitors range from novice to professional. We also have three professional carvers who don’t compete, but who act as consultants to the other carvers. They may actually help carve pieces being created by novices, but usually they are restricted to providing advice. They are also responsible for helping ensure that the carvers are proceeding in a safe manner and taking care with their equipment. Max Chickite is the founder of Transformations On The Shore, and he is the carver of the octopus that is now our logo. Normally working on the mainland, we are thrilled with however many days Max can spend at our event.

Glenn Greensides is a professional carver based in Sayward who is known world-wide for his chainsaw creations. Our third consultant is Jerry Strelioff, a master carver who is based here in Campbell River and whose works appear all over the province. The Shoreline Arts board realized last year that rather than have prominent local people act as our judges, we should take advantage of our expert consultants and get them to judge the carvings. Who better to decide on difficulty, design, flow, and creativity? Come to the park on June 28 and see if you agree with their decisions!

Willow Point Hall – The Pause that Refreshes Come down on the Wednesday morning and watch the carvers get started. Some take forever to make that first cut. And some just jump right in. Make a guess as to what each log is going to turn into! By Friday, the carvings are pretty much taking shape, so take a walk through the park and see if you guessed right. There’s raffle tickets for sale, souvenirs, and the popcorn lady will be there. On Saturday afternoon there is the Quick Carve event at 1 p.m. and the Live Auction of all the carvings. Sunday at 2 p.m., don't miss out on owning your own chainsaw artwork! If you are getting thirsty, visit the Willow Point Hall, just on the other side of the cottage. The Hall will be open from noon on Friday until about 6 p.m. and again on Saturday. On Sunday we’ll be open at 10 and close around 4. We will have a lemonade stand outside, offering iced tea, water, and pop. And inside, we will be selling hotdogs and burgers, and maybe a few surprise menu items. The strawberry shortcake was a hit last year, so plan on having a cuppa and something sweet. We have tables and chairs available for you to
take a break inside, and the shade is free! There will be craftspeople inside and outside the Hall so you can do a little shopping. The face painter will be there for the kids on Saturday and Sunday! Don’t like lining up for the porta-potties or for the washrooms at Tim Horton’s? C’mon down to the Hall and use our facilities. We even have a wheelchair friendly washroom! This is the 76th year that the Hall has been around and we are busy raising money for a new foundation and a new roof. Come and say goodbye to the old kitchen – demolition starts on July 6.

The Black Bear That Barely Survived Strathcona Park Lodge and Outdoor Education Centre, situated on the Gold River Highway west of Campbell River, has a unique wooden artifact that survived a horrific fire in 1973, when the entire original lodge building burned down. The artifact is a lifesized carving of a black bear, that was created more than 40 years ago by one of the first chainsaw carvers in British Columbia, Henry Stadlbauer. Stadlbauer was staying at Strathcona Lodge in the early 1970s and Myrna Boulding, who founded the Lodge with her late husband Jim, recalls watching the artist working on his creation out in front of one of their workshops. According to an article written about the carver in The Chilliwack Progress in 1972, his preference was to work with red cedar, which
he said "has a very nice colour to it and stands up to bad weather". It is astonishing that the carving of the black bear he made for the Bouldings, that stood at the entrance of the Lodge, also withstood the blazing fire. Although partially blackened, the bear is complete and today, the fine workmanship is
still apparent. Stadlbauer was born in Austria and came to Canada in 1953, first living in Quebec. He moved to Vancouver Island, then eventually set-
tled outside Chilliwack. Already a wood worker who had used hand tools for many years, it seems that once he took up the chainsaw as a carving tool, he had found his mĂŠtier. He first tried it out in 1968, and liked the rough finish it gave to his pieces. He said
that he didn’t like to sand or polish his work, but would simply coat them in linseed oil and commented that "I like the feeling it has with every mark of the chainsaw left on". Entirely self-taught, he became very well known for his works and received orders for his carvings from all over the world. Stadlbauer passed away in 1991.
Welcome Carvers! Wishing everyone involved in this years Transformation on the Shore a fun and successful weekend!

DECOMPRESSION & LASER CENTER
www.CampbellRiverMirror.com
Dr. Janis Guthy With spinal decompression’s precise, computer-controlled tension, the appropriate disc levels are gently and painlessly stretched to achieve a negative pressure within the disc. The negative pressure created in the nucleus pulposus allows compressed discs to be re-oxygenated, rehydrated and re-nutrified as they draw in moisture and nutrients from surrounding body tissues as well as promote retraction of bulging or herniated discs. While results may vary, Dr. Guthy notes that many Spinal Decompression patients including post-surgical patients and those with long-term chronic pain, are soon able to resume normal activities. For patients with sports or repetitive strain injuries, tendonitis, bursitis, arthritis and similar conditions, Dr. Guthy often employs the latest, noninvasive treatment of low-intensity laser therapy.
D
o you suffer from a herniated disc, chronic or acute back pain, headaches, whiplash, knee pain, carpel tunnel syndrome? Maybe you need help changing your lifestyle through exercise and dieting. Perhaps you need an ergonomic assessment to help function better at your workplace.
Dr. Janis Guthy, a Doctor of Chiropractic with more than 34+ years experience, can help. And, in the process she wants to change the way you think about chiropractors. “Chiropractors treat more than just back strain,” she says. “The conditions we see range from sciatica to headaches and sprained ankles to carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, arthritis and more. We also see a wide range of patients from children to the elderly. “You don’t need a medical referral to see Dr. Guthy, nor do you necessarily need to have pain symptoms,” she adds. “My clinic has always been proactive. People come in for a spinal check-up and preventative spinal care just to make sure they’re healthy.” Identifying and correcting minor imbalances early on, she says, can often prevent serious longterm conditions, including chronic pain. “Take your feet… they’re the foundation of your body. If you’re walking improperly, it’s eventually going to affect your ankles, knees, hips, back and neck.” Custom-molded
foot orthotics, which Dr. Guthy can prescribe and make for you, can help to correct most gait problems contributing to other musculoskeletal pain. If you have an ICBC claim, you can visit Dr. Guthy without a referral to receive treatment without any outof pocket cost. The same applies to people with WorkSafe BC claims and RCMP or Veteran’s Affairs coverage (BlueCross).
“Essentially, the laser initiates a cascade of physiological reactions within the affected area,” she explains. “The result is restoration of cell structure and function and it is highly effective and has no known side effects.” If you are suffering from low back or neck pain, such as sciatica, herniated, protruded, or degenerative disc, associated with neurological symptoms, you may benefit from DTS and Laser therapy.
Dr. Guthy also has two other state of the art therapies. The Exer-Rest is a bed on which the patient Strength Based Coaching/Development reclines while it • Relationship Coaching moves back and forth at a rate of 140 slides • Workshops - Anxiety, Depression, Anger per minute.
The Exer-Rest is a patented, clinically trialed non-invasive device that works to Jonathan improve circulation, Buchanan improve joint MA Counselling Psychology mobility and reduce musculoskeletal jonathan.buchanan@mail.com pain and support 250-465-8028 overall health. The bed stimulates the natural release of nitric oxide into In addition, Dr. Guthy offers Nonthe blood and helps patients feel Surgical Spinal Decompression more vibrant during the day and (DTS). “DTS relieves pressure on the sleep better at night. Nitric oxide has spinal nerves through the use of a potent anti-inflammatory properties; mechanical traction device applied improves transmission of neural through a highly sensitive computer,” impulses; improves cognition, balance explains Dr. Guthy. “It is completely and learning, particularly in prior painless and, as the name suggests, brain damage; is anti arteriosclerosis non-invasive.”
(helping prevent hardening of the arteries); and, can limit the extent of heart and stroke damage. The therapy is equivalent to jogging without the stress to the heart and joints. The Thermal Shiatsu Massage Bed helps increase circulation and reduce chronic pain. Far Infrared rays penetrate the surface of the body, allowing for the expansion of collagen tissues which then allow the mechanical jade heads to effectively push out all of the impurities that are stored in those tissues. The FDA approved Massage Bed also acts as a mechanical traction device stretching and straightening the spine, allowing your nerves and in turn your entire body to function more efficiently. In addition to holding a Ph.D and a Doctor of Chiropractic, Dr. Guthy is a Certified Functional Work Capacity Evaluator Advanced with a Residency in Industrial Rehabilitation. She is an American Board Certified Senior Disability Analyst and Diplomate, as well as a Homeopath, and a Distinguished Fellow of the British Institute of Homeopathy. She is also an American Board Certified Alternative Medical Practitioner and has been in private practice for 34+ years. Recently Dr. Guthy has added the counselling services of Jonathan Buchanan to her clinic. On your initial visit, Dr. Guthy will collect information for a thorough case history, conduct a comprehensive Chiropractic, Orthopedic and Neurological examination and compile a complete report on her findings. Dr. Guthy and her patient will collaborate on a treatment program suitable for the patient’s optimal care. If a referral is necessary, Dr. Guthy will also provide this. Dr. Guthy uses a “hands on” approach to chiropractic care. She may use various adjunctive therapies including ultrasound, laser, manual and nonmanual adjusting techniques and exercise therapy. She always accepts new patients and often extends her office hours to accommodate patients who are from out of town and who have scheduling issues. “I never turn away a patient,” she says. “It’s both my responsibility and my privilege to provide a natural, drug-free way to better health.” *Results may vary

If the cremation has already taken place, very often families choose to have the urn present at the ceremony, feeling that it acts as a “focal point” and provides comfort and closure. To have the deceased present at his or her own ceremony to many seems logical and natural. Today, urns come in many styles and reflect varied artistic forms, so families can easily find something reflective of their lifestyle, faith or beliefs. Increasing in popularity are “biodegradable” urns for placement on water or for earth burial. Also, small “keepsake” urns are frequently chosen so individuals can keep their own portion for memorialization in whichever way they choose. Should you have at home, cremated remains that you have “not dealt with”, let us know. We’d be please to show you the many options available so you can have final closure.

Daniel Alexander Hiltz October 19, 1960-June 9, 2015
It is with heavy hearts and great sadness, that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved father and husband, Danny Hiltz. He was born October 19, 1960 in Halifax, Nova Scotia and passed away on June 9, 2015 in Victoria, BC. He was a strong man who loved working as a miner, almost as much as he loved his family. Known mostly for his sense of humour and impressive work ethic. He loved everyone and was always so kind and compassionate. When it came to work, he was so proud of being able to surpass people’s expectations and spoke fondly of all the guys he worked with. He is survived by his mother Diane, father Dave, wife Vickie, sisters Tracey and Florence; children Jessica, Kristina, James, Brandie and Keaton; grandchildren Lily, Holly Joseph and nieces and nephews. He will be missed profoundly by many. His funeral was held on Tuesday, June 16, 2015 We would like to thank the staff at the Campbell River Hospital, especially the ICU, the paramedics who escorted him by helicopter and the staff at the Victoria General Hospital who, although only saw him for a short time, did their very best.

With only a few short weeks before children are out of school for the summer it is time to update your First Aid kit for the car, the plane, home and for the camper. Traumas: 1. Arnica is a homeopathic remedy for any kind of physical trauma. It heals bruises and swellings very quickly. If an ankle is sprained or a bone is fractured this remedy will help with the pain and swelling. Great for those who have overdone it with sports activities and have muscle aches and pains. 2. Calc phosh and calc fluor are two cell salts that are great at speeding up the healing of a bone fractures. 3. Cryoderm: heat or cold applications that contain arnica and other natural anti-inflammatories that are applied topically. Some injuries are better with heat, some are better with cold. Cryoderm offers both. These are free of chemicals such as parabens. I suggest both types for your kit. Cryoderm can be great for bug bites too! 4. Natural anti-inflammatories containing curcumin, boswellia and bromelain are much better for your joint health than NSAIDS (non ste-

ages and these provide very quick results. 2. Calcium and magnesium is my number one remedy for insomnia in all ages and great for muscle cramps so if you are exercising and get “Charlie horses” then think calcium and magnesium deficiency. Liquid forms are enjoyed by all ages too! 3. “No Jet Lag” is a great homeopathic combination made in New Zealand that works great. Take it going and coming on your flights for several days on each end of your trip. 4. Hot Epsom baths not only help you with insomnia, but electrosmog of flying and muscle aches and pains after being a weekend warrior. Sore throats, colds and flus: 1. Chewable zinc tablets can be just the thing for a sore throat if you catch it early enough. These are easy for kids to take. 2. Oregano oil is a great antibiotic and can ward off bacterial infections very quickly. Use it diluted. 3. Effervescent vitamin C is pleasant to take and may help stop a cold or cough in its tracks. Don’t forget that you can take 500mg per year of age, so take lots or until your

of Collagen?

Clinical Trial Results
• Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles • Increases Skin Elasticity • Thickens and Strengthens Hair • Strengthens Nails By now you know. Adding body collagen directly reduces wrinkles, increases skin elasticity, and adds vital moisture to your skin. Indirectly, collagen thickens and strengthens your hair. You may also know that collagen production slows by 1% per year after the age of 21. Can you gain it back? Yes. But not by eating collagen. You see, collagen is a protein. When you ingest it, your body breaks it down, like any other protein, and uses it as food. When you want the real beauty benefits of collagen, you have to generate it.
BioSil™ generates collagen by activating the collagen producing cells in your body known as fibroblasts. It is clinically proven to increase collagen formation. In fact, in the clinical trial the women taking BioSil™ reduced wrinkles by 30%, increased skin elasticity by 89% and thickened and strengthened their hair by 13% compared to women not taking BioSil™. So when you want genuine visible results from collagen, generate it, don’t eat it. Experience the beautiful difference for yourself!

Seawatch 3x7 Medical Clinic Seawatch Dr. Patrick Rowe Retirement PROCESS
Serving our community since 1990, Dr. Patrick Rowe will be retiring from his practice as of September 2015. Having moved his practice to Seawatch Medical Clinic last summer, Dr. Rowe has provided primary care to his own patients as well as many others who have been without a family physician this past year. We would like to thank Dr. Rowe for his support and wish him all the best in his retirement. After 33 years of practicing medicine, he feels that it is time to move on to another chapter in his life. Dr. Rowe wishes to let his patients know that is has been a privilege to be involved in their care and wishes to thank them for choosing him as their Doctor.
•
Welcome Dr. Samra Nasir
We are happy to announce that Dr. Samra Nasir will be joining Seawatch Medical Clinic and setting up her practice starting February 2016. Currently living in New Brunswick, Dr. Nasir originally comes to us from Pakistan where she has practiced as a family physician since 2000. She writes, "Being a family physician is the life I have known and loved for a long time now. Growing up in a developing country like Pakistan gave me a real life perspective of a community with limited access to health services, but significant health care needs. As I studied medicine I was determined to make a difference. I chose family medicine as it enabled me to not only connect with my patients but also provide continuous care and promote a healthy lifestyles. I am delighted to live and practice in beautiful British Columbia. My love of nature and a simple life makes it an ideal choice for me.” Dr. Nasir will be accepting patients from within and outside the clinic, with special consideration to those Seawatch patients who have been without a designated family physician this past year. The clinic is committed to the best possible care during this time of transition and you will be able to make appoints with the clinic’s physicians on an interim basis until a permanent provider is confirmed.
Please join us in extending a warm welcome to Dr. Nasir - and congratulations to Dr. Rowe in his retirement.

TrailRider hikes park access
Strathcona, the first and oldest provincial park in British Columbia, has now become even more accessible with the introduction of the “TrailRider” Program. The TrailRider is a unique, single-tire wheelchair designed to allow individuals with mobility constraints to explore and enjoy the outdoors. Assisted by two to four porters, or “Sherpas”, this unit expands the opportunities for participants to access and explore terrain and trails that might otherwise be beyond their limits. The TrailRider has been tested on various terrains from Mount Everest base camp to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, as well as city parks, provincial wilderness areas and everything in between. BC Parks and Strathcona Wilderness Insti-
tute (SWI), a long-term, non-profit volunteer partnership group, has developed the TrailRider program in the park to complement their longterm strategy of making Strathcona Park more accessible to all visitors. Expanding off the successful development of the barrier-free Centennial Trail, started in 2005 and completed as a loop in 2009, and completion of the Strathcona Wilderness Centre at Paradise Meadows trailhead in 2010, BC Parks is committed to providing equal opportunities to all visitors wishing to experience one of the more popular areas of Strathcona Park. The success to date is due directly to community support, blending funds from BC Parks, Provincial and Federal Grants, all local Rotary groups, Mount Washington Alpine Resort and donations from busi-
nesses and individual supporters. Interested visitors can either take advantage of one of the few prescheduled trips around Paradise Meadows (two hours), Battleship Lake (four hours) or Helen Mackenzie Lake loop (six hours), or, reserve the TrailRider for their own group experience at their convenience. The pre-scheduled trips try to match riders with volunteer porters/ Sherpas, so all you need to bring is your enthusiasm, food/snacks, appropriate clothing and any personal care items. Friends and family are welcome and encouraged to come along as well. SWI is always looking for energetic volunteers to help push/pull the TrailRider, those who enjoy hiking and are eager to share that experience with those who may have never had that
opportunity in the past. While the TrailRider is well-balanced and easy to guide, porters usually trade off to conserve energy and keep it fun for all. When accompanied by adults, porters have been as young as 15, and the upper age limit is only restricted by ability and desire. Groups and businesses should also consider volunteering as a team-building experience, or just a fun social outing. To book a pre-scheduled trip, or reserve the TrailRider for you own personal group use, contact SWI Volunteer TrailRider Coordinator Kyle Smith at 250-8987919 or KSmith-Trailrider@outlook.com For more information about the Strathcona Park TrailRider program, visit Strathcona Wilderness Institute at strathconapark.org/mobilitydevices/trailrider-program.

Students get into Discovery Passage Aquarium for free
C
ampbell River’s Discovery Passage Aquarium has partnered with School District 72 to provide all students with free passes to experience and learn about the region’s sea creatures. “We are excited for all students to get some hands-on experience and knowledge at the Aquarium, it is such a great asset for Campbell River”, says SecretaryTreasurer Kevin Patrick. The more than 4,000 passes allow a free visit
to the aquarium and were handed out by the teachers. The aquarium got a good start into the season mid May, and hundreds of people came out to see it on Oceans Day. “Our staff and volunteers are happy to share our knowledge about our magnificent marine life with students and their families,” says Mark Wunsch, president of the Discovery Passage SeaLife Society the charity runs the Aquarium.
Animals on display reach from colourful anemones and magic sea pens to the charismatic Red Irish Lord (a big sculpin), chinook smolts and a cute young Pacific giant octopus. The aquarium is located right at the Fishing Pier and open every day from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. until the end of September. Follow them on their website discoverypassageaquarium.ca, on facebook or twitter to find out more.
Kevin Patrick, school district secretary-treasurer, takes possession of the free passes from Mark Wunsch, president of the Discovery Passage SeaLife Society.
