Two school district fountains removed after failing water testing MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

PHOTO BY KELLY DOMBROWSKY

Boaters had difficulty launching their boats at Big Rock Boat Launch during last Friday’s low tide. Here a boat is marooned inside the breakwater because the outlet channel is too shallow. Meanwhile, boats can be seen in Discovery Passage waiting for the rising tide.

Boat launch improvements can’t come soon enough for some MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The low tides last weekend made getting boats in and out of Discovery Passage even more difficult than usual for boaters trying to enjoy one of the first nice weekends of spring.

This prompted yet another call from boaters for the state of the boat launches – specifically Big

Rock Boat Launch – to be addressed sooner rather than later.

Allison Galloway and her husband David say they launched from the Big Rock ramp about 9:30 a.m. last Friday morning (April 8) to go prawning, and were coming back a few hours later in an attempt to beat low tide – which was expected about 12:30 p.m. Unfortunately for the Galloways, the tide was already

too low to risk bringing the trailer down the ramp.

“The gravel on the ramp was like a foot or two deep,” Galloway says.

“We might have been able to get the trailer down into there, but even if we did, once the extra weight from the boat was on it, we’d have been stuck and would’ve needed a tow truck to come get us out.”

Their boat ended up bottoming

out while the tide went out underneath them. Once it had come back in and they were afloat again, they headed for the ramp at Discovery Harbour Marina, where they paid their $10 to get out of the water.

“We like to tout that we’re this amazing fishing destination,” Galloway says, “and the fact of the matter is that we just don’t have the ameContinued on Pg. 6

After high levels of lead were found in the drinking water of 48 per cent of locations in the Prince Rupert School District this past February, school districts around the province have been testing their own drinking water for contaminants to find out if they, too, needed to take steps to mitigate this possible health issue.

Deputy Minister of Education Dave Byng sent a letter to all school districts in the province after the Prince Rupert situation came to light in the media, saying, “At the request of the Provincial Health Officer, I am writing to remind all school districts of the importance of ensuring water quality within all schools complies with Water Management Best Practices and the Drinking Water Protection Act.” Secretary-Treasurer of the Campbell River School District (SD72) Kevin Patrick revealed to the board of education at this week’s public meeting that testing has been completed across our district and all but two locations came back, “well within compliance and safety levels.”

City seeking more information on proposed landfill KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The city has a lengthy list of questions and concerns it wants answered

by Upland Excavating about a proposed soil remediation facility that some residents are concerned will threaten the city’s drinking water.

City staff have outlined 26 different areas of concern in a letter to Upland Excavating that question Upland’s plans for snow management, control of invasive plants and noxious weeds, fire protection, wildlife management when it comes to birds using leachate ponds, and other concerns.

The letter was drafted

by Terri Martin, the city’s environmental coordinator, and Nathalie Viau, the city’s water supervisor.

The pair state that they recognize the value in Upland’s proposal to expand its operations and accept non-hazardous contaminated soil at its existing landfill but at the same time are doing their due diligence to ensure citizens are not being put at risk.

“The City of Campbell River recognizes that there is a need for a local solution for the disposal of contaminated soil and asbestos, as opposed to having the materials hauled to other communities and water-

sheds,” Martin and Viau write. “At the same time, any proposed facility has the potential to have environmental impacts of concern and the city must feel confident that every precaution has been considered to avoid impacts to the community’s drinking watershed as well as the Quinsam River, Cold Creek and the environment.”

Upland has submitted a waste discharge application to the Ministry of Environment for an Operational Certificate to accommodate a landfill on Upland-owned lands at 7295 Gold River Highway that would treat and deposit up to 500,000 cubic metres of non-hazardous solid waste, such as construction, demolition and land-clearing materials, including asbestos.

Members of the Campbell River Environmental Committee (CREC) are concerned about the proposed landfill’s proximity to Rico Lake and McIvor Lake, which is connected

to the city’s drinking water system.

Leona Adams, a member of the Environmental Committee, has said the proposed waste landfill site straddles a large aquifer, which is hydraulically connected with Rico and McIvor lakes.

The city is seeking clarification from Upland on conflicting reports on whether or not Rico Lake drains to McIvor Lake – part of the city’s drinking watershed – as a hydrology report prepared for Upland sates that “the eastern extent of Rico Lake encroaches onto the site.”

Coun. Charlie Cornfield said at Monday night’s council meeting that he’s observed that Rico Lake is “much higher” than McIvor and that “water is flowing from Rico to McIvor which is our watershed.”

Cornfield said he’s concerned that if Rico Lake is lower than the Upland property, there may be the “potential for the water to move the leach-

Still, Martin and Viau are asking Upland to submit annual operations and monitoring reports to the city. They also are urging Upland to conduct periodic surface water sampling at Rico and McIvor lakes.

T h e y a d d e d t h at Upland will likely need to acquire a rezoning from the city in order to permit such a use on its property.

The rezoning would trigger a permit process that requires an Environmental Impact Assessment which assesses the risks and evaluates the effects of the project.

Regional district denounces ‘inexcusable’ behaviour KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Strathcona Regional District directors say n e g at i v e m e s s a g e s directed at the Tlowitsis Nation are “totally unacceptable” and “inexcusable.”

Dave Leitch, chief administrative officer of the regional district, said he has reached out to the Nation to apologize.

“I personally spoke to Mr. (Thomas) Smith and expressed regret about how this rolled out,” Leitch said.

He added that himself and board chair John MacDonald are planning to meet with Smith, a Tlowitsis councillor, next week to further discuss the Tlowitsis’ proposal to establish a reserve on property on the north side of York Road, west of Henry Road.

It’s a proposal that has been met with concern

and in some cases, resistance, by York Road residents who only became aware of the plan three weeks ago.

A t We d n e s d a y ’s regional district board meeting, directors said they were upset by ‘No Rez’ messages spray painted on signs marking the proposed development site as well as on the road nearby.

Director Charlie Cornfield said it makes the entire regional district look bad.

“I was very, very disappointed with the reaction,” Cornfield said.

“That type of behaviour is unacceptable. I was embarrassed by it. It does terrible things for us and we’re all tarred with that brush.”

Are a D D i re c tor Brenda Leigh told the board she also was “dismayed” by the actions of a few.

Director Andy Adams

took it a step further and directed regional district staff to send a letter to the Tlowitsis on behalf of the board expressing its “sincere regret about the negative comments received.”

Adams said it was an “inexcusable response” and that he had already reached out to the Tlowitsis as mayor of Campbell River.

Tahsis Director Jude Schooner agreed the response was unacceptable.

“I think everyone at this table has been disturbed,” she said.

The push back was in response to the Tlowitsis’ proposal to establish a home community for 100 of its roughly 425 members on TimberWest property it has agreed to purchase.

Area D residents who packed a meeting between the electoral area directors last week

voiced concerns that they had not been consulted on the proposal which only came to light because the Tlowitsis asked the regional district for a letter of support to go with its application to the federal government for an Additions to Reserves.

In a letter written by Smith to the regional district last week, he explained that the regional district, and Leigh, who had met with the Tlowitsis in December to receive preliminary plans, were not legally able to say anything.

“It was not our intention to put Director Leigh in a difficult spot,” Smith wrote.

“The Tlowitsis were under a legal obligation to the vendor not to disclose information regarding this transaction until we met certain milestones within the

sale agreement.”

Thomas, in his letter, also tried to put residents’ minds at ease with regards to the schematic land use plan.

“The Nation has not completed a formal plan for commercial development at this time,” he wrote. “There is no planned industrial park for the property in the foreseeable future. The schematic only illustrates what may be possible in any future economic developments. Any land development once these lands become reserve will require pre-approval

by Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada as these lands will be under the jurisdiction of the federal crown.”

Smith said the Nation is nearing completion of its application to the federal government for Additions to Reserves which he said is not a simple process and

requires many studies and assessments to meet the Additions to Reserves requirements.

Leigh told the board on Wednesday that the process also requires consultation with the community and local government. Leigh has given regional district staff a list of nearly 30 items of concern that staff are expected to report back on and bring back to the earliest possible electoral area directors’ meeting.

Smith, meanwhile, said he hopes that the regional district, residents and the Tlowitsis can all move forward amicably.

“We are truly hopeful that we can live together in a civil and respectful manner,” Smith said.

“We want to be as open and clear as we can within the limits of the law and our responsibilities to our Tlowitsis members.”

Ross Milnthorp, the city’s general manager of Parks, Recreation and Culture, says the ramp regularly gets filled up with gravel and sediment, and they clear it out following a plan that was developed with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and put in place in 2011 to redistribute this material to other areas of the waterfront.

This work is being

done now, Milnthorp says.

“This year there was an unusual volume of material – sediment and gravel – and it was deposited much earlier than usual,” Milnthorp says, adding that much of the material was removed from the ramp section itself on Tuesday of this week, “but we need an especially low tide to get the rest of it and do it thoroughly,” so they will be getting back out to finish the job at their first opportunity.

The other public, free boat launch – Ken Forde Park in Willow Point – should also be cleaned up and ready for boats on or around May 1,

Milnthorp says, depending on the weather and tides.

The material removed during this process is used to naturally replenish the shore in the areas it would naturally wash up were the boat launches not in the way.

The public boat launch situation – specifically, the upgrading of the Big Rock Boat Launch – has been a source of contention for years.

Council has been searching for funding to help with the cost of fixing the situation there, to no avail.

The city received nine bids in 2012 from companies who wanted to work on the project, but

none came in under the budget that had been set at the time.

Additional funding has been sought as recently as last summer, when the city applied for funding through the Canada 150 fund to try and get a piece of the $150-million available for community infrastructure projects, but that funding wasn’t approved, either.

So where are we now on that upgrade?

“The design for the upgrade (at Big Rock Boat Launch) is what’s called shovel-ready,” Milnthorp says, “and we are constantly scanning for grants – both federally and provincially – which might be appli-

cable for its construction, but it’s going to cost about $1 million, so we really need some form of federal or provincial funding to make it happen.”

Milnthorp says the city has put aside $500,000 for its portion of the expected cost of the project, “and as soon as the other half of the necessary funding is available, it’s a go.”

That upgrade, Milnthorp says, will consist of a widening of the ramp so more than one boat can be loaded at once, a fish cleaning station, as well as parking lot paving and other landscaping needs around the launch.

“Basically, once either of these places were run for even a couple of seconds, it reduced the contaminants,” to below acceptable levels, but it was decided the best mitigation tactic was to simply remove the sources.

B.C.’s fifth modern treaty took effect April 5, formalizing self-government for the Tla’amin Nation on B.C.’s Sunshine Coast.

The settlement includes Crown and reserve land in the Powell River area, in a traditional territory that includes Lasqueti, Texada and Cortes Islands as well as Comox on Vancouver Island.

It transfers 6,405 hectares of former provincial Crown land, including forest and mineral rights, plus a $33.9 million capital transfer and a $7.9 million economic development fund. Since the agreement was signed two years ago, the Tla’amin have endorsed a constitution that Chief Clint Williams said ensures transparent and accountable government.

“I think it gives us a little more leverage in speaking with B.C. and Canada, as we will own the land that we’re trying to conduct business on,” Williams said.

Tla’amin elder Elsie Paul had a more personal take on the long-awaited treaty.

“We can’t be stuck where we’ve been stuck forever, where we’re on reserve land, just for

us,” she said. “It feels like you’re trapped there. And hopefully, those gates have opened, to also welcome people to come to our community.

“Because in the past, in my growing up years, we never had friends, people from Powell River or anywhere else. We were not allowed to have visitors, and we were not allowed to mingle in town with white people.”

C ommunities can also look to the example of the Tsawwassen First Nation, which has attracted $1 billion in new investment since its treaty was implemented in 2009. Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad said the Tla’amin treaty shows the B.C. Treaty Commission is still working, despite having gone without a chief commissioner since the province refused to appoint one a year ago.

Rustad said that was a signal from the B.C. government that it can’t carry on at the current

pace, which has seen one treaty on average every three years.

“And so if you do the extrapolation, we have 203 bands, that’s over 600 years of negotiations,” Rustad told me. “And even if we could find a way to accelerate that to the point we’re celB.C. where ebrating a new treaty every year, that is still 200 years of negotiations.

“And that is why we didn’t go forward with a chief commissioner. We have to find a way to be able to do something more effectively.”

It gets worse. The Lheidli T’enneh First Nation near Prince George completed a treaty after years of work, only to see it rejected by a community vote in 2007. Efforts to hold a second vote have gone nowhere.

And the Yale First Nation was to implement its treaty this month, but the new council for the 160-member village in the Fraser Canyon confirmed

Making treaties in under 600 years

VIEWS

There’s a strong movement afoot, led by the B.C. Federation of Labour, to raise this province’s minimum wage to $15 an hour.

On the surface, having the lowest minimum wage in Canada, when our provincial government boasts that our economy is one of the best performing in the country, makes no sense and is the height of unfairness. It says that the rich are getting richer, on the backs of working-class citizens.

While it would be great if everyone could make more money, it’s not as simple as arguing that people making $10.45 an hour need more money to pull them out of apparent poverty.

Pushing the minimum wage up to $15 in one fell swoop, as the B.C. Fed is asking for, could have unintended consequences. Would it force small businesses to lay employees off, or worse, shut down due to the higher cost of labour? Or would they simply raise prices significantly to cover the additional cost?

Either move could potentially have a net We say: No one negative effect on the wants to see economy, with either less poverty continue people working or goods become less affordable to grow for those at the bottom end of the wage scale.

According to the B.C. Fed, about 6.4 per cent of workers in our province make minimum wage, with more than half of those women (63 per cent) and 10,000 of them seniors. We’d all like to see income equality for women and we’d certainly like to see seniors be able to retire on their pensions.

That 6.4 per cent equates to about 120,000 people.

But many of those are young people in their first job, for example, or bar and restaurant servers for whom tips can raise their income substantially – although bar servers’ lower minimum of $9.20 per hour cuts into that. The question is, does it make sense to increase the minimum wage more than 40 per cent at one time for a relatively small number of workers, when the consequences could force all of us to pay more for goods and services? It’s anybody’s guess how such a move might play out here in B.C., and how long it would take to have an effect.

Certainly no one wants to see poverty continue to be a growth industry.

The need for the government to move more quickly on raising minimum wage is less about the optics of the national rankings and more about allowing more workers to gain more buying power. The province should set the goal of getting to $15 an hour, but do it in a way that allows business to adjust on a more gradual basis.

to Rustad last week that they want out.

The Yale agreement has been controversial from the start, with the larger Sto:lo Nation viewing the community as a splinter group controlling fishing sites contested for thousands of years. But the new Yale council is more sympathetic to the Sto:lo, so the latest setback could turn into a positive.

There have been previous efforts to deal with aboriginal rights and title on a broader scale. The latest one foundered after aboriginal leaders rejected a province-wide proposal offered by former premier Gordon Campbell. Similar to the Sto:lo, the Tla’amin have a history of territorial overlap with the Klahoose, Sechelt and others. Paul said there is a tradition of working together in her home region.

We’re building relationships with our neighbours, as well as building relationships with our neighbouring First Nations communities,” she said.

City council re-commits to backing homelessness advocacy groups

12 || CAMPBELL CAMPBELL RIVER RIVER MIRROR MIRROR || FRIDAY, FRIDAY, APRIL APRIL 15, 15, 2016 2016 12

MIKE DAVIES

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Advocates for the city’s homeless community — many of which have been camped out on the lawns of City hall for the past two weeks — got their chance to present to council this week and brought with them a petition signed by over 850 members of the community requesting the city do more to help.

Organizers with the Grassroots Kind Hearts Society (GKH) Krissandra Rufus and Dianne Palmer told council Monday night that they are happy the city has committed to making changes to the downtown core — such as the beautification and revitalization projects being undertaken — and they feel their goals align with that plan, as well.

“Our society helps those vulnerable members within the community that are visible in the downtown core that you hope to beautify,” Palmer said in her address to council.

Palmer then cited a 2013 report entitled

“The State of Homelessness in Canada,” which assessed the cost of homelessness in Canada at $7 billion annually and called for the city to be proactive instead of reactive in its approach to the problem.

“This estimate is based on the cost of reacting to homelessness instead of addressing the root causes of it and taking a proactive approach,” Palmer said. “Reactionary solutions are expensive and typically involve a greater use of emergency services such as law enforcement, courts and prisons, emergency healthcare, longer hospital stays, etc.”

Palmer said a proactive approach — which she says would be a far less expensive proposition than the reactive ones taken by most governments — would be the creation of a permanent facility within downtown Campbell River “that would allow for a place for us to serve hot meals, where the coffee is always on, and there is always a warm and dry place to sleep — one that in the future

may involve sobering beds and other, likeminded organizations working together in an effort to provide what is needed to assist our friends and family living on the streets.”

The group had three specific requests for council: that council continue to pressure BC Housing into making temporary shelter beds available until such time as a permanent facility can be built, that a place be granted to the group near that temporary shelter location for them to continue to serve meals, and that council commit to working with the group to find a location for this proposed permanent facility.

Mayor Andy Adams responded by saying, on behalf of council, “I don’t think there is any question council will endeavour to comply with all of the requests you have just presented.”

BC Housing, Adams said, has committed to providing the community with six sobering assessment beds — a commitment for which he said he is very pleased

PROCESS

— “but what we haven’t got confirmation on and are continuing to try to get the details of is when the request for proposals will be issued, when the call for that will close, what is the likelihood of who the successful proponent fort that call for proposals is and when that can actually happen.”

“I can assure you that council supports all the initiatives you’re talking about and much more,” Adams continued. “But I also want to confirm, as I have said previously, that council is limited to the models that we have been successful using in the past,” which is the city offering land, waiving development permit and licensing fees, hooking up services such as water, sewer and power. “However it is the provincial government who must come to the table with the funding to either purchase or construct a facility and provide the operating funds. That’s what we are going to continue to work for so that there is a long-term, permanent solution.”

50 cents from every “12” sold at Campbell River McDonald’s Restaurants during the month of April will be donated to the Campbell River Hospital Foundation and the Ronald McDonald House BC.

Thomas G.S. Longridge

Superintendent & CEO, School District 72

It is with great pride that School District 72 honours Carihi Secondary’s 50th anniversary. From the school’s official opening in January 1966, Carihi Secondary has been known for being an innovative, inspiring, and encouraging learning environment.

Carihi’s first principal, John Young also inspired an atmosphere of acceptance and creativity which, to this day, remain hallmarks of the Carihi school culture.

Having been fortunate enough to have served as a vice-principal at the school myself, as well as having had one of my daughters attend Carihi Secondary, I can attest to how these attributes make Carihi such a special place.

Beyond the school’s diversity and acceptance however, Carihi Secondary is also known for its high academic standing and outstanding athletics, theatre and band programs.

Today the school also houses many other exciting, unique programs; testaments to both the creativity and innovation of the educators and students who have graced its classrooms. Programs such as Forestry, Nautical Sciences, and the Hockey Academy are only recent examples of how Carihi Secondary has been ahead of the curve when it comes to providing students with the type of engaging, personalized learning that the province’s redesigned curriculum aspires towards.

Carihi Secondary students and teachers have an embedded culture of service and giving back. Over the years, many Carihi graduates have been extremely successful in their pursuits and have returned, like Tyees returning to the stream, to build successful careers and families in the community.

As a school district, we are extremely proud of all that Carihi has and continues to contribute to Campbell River.

Congratulations to all current and past Carihi Secondary staff and students on this milestone.

Sean Toal Principal of Carihi Secondary School Carihi Secondary School has seen a lot in its 50 years since students travelled from the current Phoenix site over to the Dogwood location in January of 1966. The school has rich traditions of acceptance, individuality, and innovation which has been the reason for much to celebrate as we look back on the impact Carihi has had on the community of Campbell River since it came into being. While there can be some confusion as to when Carihi became Carihi (we believe it was around 1984 with an official name change from Campbell River Senior Secondary School, which was in existence before the move to Dogwood), the one thing we are sure of is that we are extremely proud of our school and the accomplishments of our students over this past 50 years.

As someone who has been at Carihi for the past 5 years, I have been amazed with the culture of tolerance and the display of amazing talent that our students bring, and I am proud to be the principal of this school. It is a school that understands the importance of strong, respectful relationships and as I have said many times, it is a school that would measure up against any school in the province because we pay attention to the important things such as care and understanding that nurture a strong learning environment. It seems that this attitude has been prevalent in our building since the beginning. In reading some reflections by May Tuningley, she recalls an incident where a student in the fall of 1967 tells another student that dropped some litter on the floor, that “we don’t do that here,” and interestingly enough on my first day of classes, some 45 years later, I experienced the same thing when a senior student intervened between 2 new students who were having a bit of a heated discussion in the hallway…she looked at the 2 students and said “we don’t do that here.” A great example of how our students then and now have taken ownership of the school they want Carihi to be – that is what makes our school a thing to celebrate.

I hope that you can make some time on the evening of April 21, to join us in celebrating 50 great years of Carihi accomplishments. We will celebrate in the Carihi way with great examples of student talent (current and former) on display, great food, and many examples of our school’s successes.

Reflections on the Early Years at Carihi

W

hen Carihi opened, I transferred from what is now Phoenix. I retired in 1974. So my remarks will deal with the John Young era.

That snow-covered January day in 1966, all the students and teachers together walked from Phoenix – where we had been on shift – to the Dogwood entrance of our new school.

We were imitating the great UBC Trek. When we arrived, John Young instructed everyone to take off their snow boots and overshoes.

We were proud of our new school. For years there was no graffiti on the walls of our washrooms, and the following September when a new student threw a candy wrapper on the floor, a last year’s old timer said, “We don’t do that here.”

When I left Carihi eight years later there had been no vandalism.

Carihi respected its school.

This was the first school built in Campbell River where the teachers had influenced the design. I wanted bulletin boards that I could cover with attractive learning displays and also use to block out the light for film projection.

Someone must have been impressed with the concept and that is why all classrooms are equipped with bulletin board blackouts.

Paul Wilson and Van Egan

spent a great deal of time getting labs built to their specifications.

When the last bell of the day rang, John Young always made a point of walking through the halls and talking to the students. When teachers performed in some way which John Young considered outstanding, they found a letter in their boxes telling them so. I expect he did the same for students.

At first, John Young’s philosophy of education seemed traditional, emphasing hard work that got results. He was very upset with what we called “seat warmers,” students who couldn’t be inspired to work in spite of everyone’s best efforts.

He decided to “kick them out.”

I’m sure that teachers even today would enjoy an urban myth which floated around at the time; it was reported that a teacher had written on a report card: “This student is wasting your time, his time, my time, and the taxpayers’ money.”

However, some parents were not so delighted with the “work or split” method, especially those whose children were not performing. Today it

1967

would be interesting to get the opinion of those students, who are now adults.

It must have been about 1967 that John Young decided to post honour rolls in the hall, but he added a new twist. Any student who made the honour roll was allowed to attend classes or not as he/ she decided in his/her best interest. I believe this had a positive effect on learning. Anyway, John Young thought so and some months later he decided that all students would be allowed to attend classes at will and “freedom with responsibility” was born.

John Young would have known better than I what triggered his imagination to produce this program. However, I will digress with a little social history which may have been an influence on the belief that, if we let them be so, Grade 11 and 12 students would behave as adults. When he was a youngster himself – and my youth approximates his – the majority of children, especially in rural Canada – and Canada was then

mostly rural – quit school at about age 15. Boys did a man’s work and they were treated as men. Most girls were married women with children before they left their teen years behind.

Unfortunately, a change in economic and social conditions had spawned a new generation, and given freedom. Some fell through the cracks of responsibility.

John Young was not one to hide his light under a bushel. His speeches hit the headlines across the country. “High Schools are Jails” and “High School Students are Young Men and Women.” He was on TV, in MacLeans and other papers across Canada.

He was in demand as a public speaker inside and outside the province.

Canada took a new and different view of its schools, with a focus on the students. That is the reason I believed that John Young had done more for public education than any previously nationallyknown educator. After 22 years of retirement, my judgement has tempered somewhat, mainly

because I can recall only two other nationallyknown educators. The more John Young said that schools were jails, the more the teachers across the country knew that their schools could be better and they looked at the students with new eyes.

In the meantime, Carihi was “on the map.” Many prominent people from across Canada visited our school: David Suzuki; Tony Parsons with his TV crews; Clare Culhane, the prisoners’ advocate; Chief Dan George, the actor; a group of principals from some eastern province; the youngest ever MP from Manitoba (I forget his name); and Tommy Douglas.

People from the community could and often did find their way to the staff room: Rod Haig-Brown, Tom Hudson, Ed Robinson, a photographer from the Courier, and many others. Students were welcome in the staff room at will and some did come there.

Students from other communities and provinces came to

register at Carihi.

Academically speaking, I’m not sure how successful these students became, but I know that the adult students from Campbell River, returning to get their Grade 12 certificates, benefitted all concerned. They had a salutary effect on the younger students and those older students who were also parents reported that mixing with teenagers helped them to broaden their minds to understand their own children. At least a couple of mothers graduated with their son or daughter.

These returning adults

exhibited a lot of courage by enrolling in a high school. I do not think as many would have done so under the former regimented system. One year, I think we had just under 20 such adults enrolled.

I think Carihi had the climate which made the grand experiment work.

It was a small school, only 230 students the first year. All students were in the three upper grades, 11, 12, and 13. The school was new. John Young had chosen all the teachers who worked there.

Throughout his tenure, Reflections cont. next pg

reflections continued... the staff concerned met future applicants to the staff and had some influence on the hiring.

By 1970 that staff had grown from 13 in 1966 to 38. At Carihi we were a team and our self-esteem and enthusiasm was enormous.

I don’t want our audience to think that working with John Young was without the occasional stress. His personality saw to that. For example, he let it be known that if he could, he would only hire male teachers. Now I wonder why the female teachers who treated the remark merely with contempt did not challenge him more vigorously.

John Young proclaimed that history was a useless subject. You can imagine how this went down with Miss Bunting. However, he always highly respected her as a teacher – he just didn’t like her subject, or understand it.

www.CampbellRiverMirror.com

Although few students, May still supporting students on her www.CampbellRiverMirror.com as I recall, skipped my www.CampbellRiverMirror.com 100th birthday classes, I did at times find the system somewhat stressful, for I wanted the students to know as much as I did and, if possible, perform the skill subjects better. Some of you might agree that this is a laudable credo. Now, I think a better one would be to inspire the student to do his/her personal best.

The next one-day strike for School District 72 is Friday, June 6.

How does it work? Property owners have monthly payments automatically withdrawn from their bank account starting in August and ending in May. The annual tax notice mailed at the end of May shows taxes due, less total pre-payments and interest earned on the 10 installments.

Carihi prevails in longest running high school tournament The Carihi Senior Girls S o ccer te am enjoyed a superb Plate win in the 20th Annual Investors Group Invitational hosted at Carihi and the Sportsplex last week.

The tournament is the longest standing High School Invitational in B.C. The number of teams traveling from the Mainland showed how highly it is regarded. The opening round of games between 16 teams determines whether they move to the top side of the tournament and the Cup or the lower side, the Plate.

Carihi was matched up against Stelly’s ranked #3 in Victoria AAA world.

It proved to be an excellent game of soccer which saw two evenly matched teams battle hard. Stelly’s managed to get the winner in the last minute of regulation time.The result saw Carihi head into the Plate and their next game was against St. Partick’s. The Vancouver team put up a spirited fight but the Tyees prevailed to secure a 1-0 win with the lone goal coming from Emma Skalik. The next morning the Tyees faced St.

FRIDAY, APRIL APRIL 15, 15, 2016 2016 || CAMPBELL CAMPBELL RIVER RIVER MIRROR MIRROR || 21 FRIDAY,

‘The voice of the Storm’ reflects on the season www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com

the regular season with a 38-6-2 record and 80 points, good for first in the North Division and second in the VIJHL behind the Victoria Cougars, who had 84 points and a 41-5-1 record.

After finishing second to to the Cougars in the VIJHL Final, the Storm won a bronze medal at the Cyclone Taylor Cup last weekend.

Although it might not be the result they had hoped for, Berry still considers this a good season.

“Coming off a season where they were West-

LINDSAY CHUNG

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

As the voice of the Campbell River Storm, Mark Berry has a pretty unique perspective on this year’s team.

He has watched and analyzed each game closely and interviewed Storm players and coaches countless times.

And from his point of view, even though the Storm didn’t repeat as Cyclone Taylor Cup champions this year, there was lots to cheer about.

The Storm finished

ern Canadian champions and won it all, with the caliber of the teams, particularly in B.C., it’s really difficult to repeat,” he said. “For me, it’s ups and downs but overall, it’s been a positive year.”

When Berry thinks back at this past season, there are a few distinct moments that stick in his mind.

One moment he’ll remember was a “horrendous” 13-0 loss to the Victoria Cougars back in October.

“That was a turnaround for the team,” he said. “They were medio-

cre at that point, but they turned the table after that.”

An on-ice highlight for Berry came Feb. 6 when the Storm played the Comox Valley Glacier Kings down at the Comox Valley Sports Centre. When starting goaltenders Jake Mullen and Riley Welyk were injured, the Storm put 16-year-old Jaydlin Spooner in goal in her first Junior B game.

The team won the game and Spooner was named the game’s first star.

“For me, what was so

Nobody likes the walk of shame We have all been there, ripping along on a great ride only to realize you have no traction, the ride just got a little sketchy and the air leaking out of your tire sounds like an air compressor at full pressure This completely ruins the flow of your ride, but if you’re lucky, you have the skill and equipment to make the repair and continue on.

Many times though, the ride is over and you are now forced to do the walk of shame while pushing your bike all the way home on a flat tire.

You can also cause damage to your tire or

your rim during a flat.

Sometimes its hard to get stopped quickly enough and before you know it, you’re cracking open the wallet for a new tire, or worse, a

major wheel repair.

No mater how you look at it, flats suck!

So what can we do to eliminate them?

Go tubeless…

Removing your tube and converting your wheels to tubeless is a great way to eliminate almost all flats and it’s easy and inexpensive.

It’s as simple as removing the tube, sealing up the rim and reinstalling the tire with some “slime” and a special valve. Not only have you avoided the possibility of tube punctures (no tube to puncture), but the slime also fills small leaks that

may occur in the tire during your rides. You now have a bike that is almost puncture proof, a tire that is more supple and you have the option to ride with lower pressures to enhance your traction and ability on the trails.

So if you hate flats as much as I do, check out the tubeless options.

Most bikes are ready to convert to tubeless and for only about 45 bucks per wheel.

A small price to pay for such a huge improvement.

incredible was how hard that team fought in what was a nothing game in the standings,” he said.

“I talked to the players and they’ll remember it forever.”

Another memorable moment for Berry came last weekend during the Cyclone Taylor Cup, as the teams sang the national anthem at the start of the game.

“I’ve never seen a group of young men sing so loud,” he said. “It speaks to their character.

It caught me off-guard; I could hear them in the stands.”

One of the things that Berry will remember the most from this season doesn’t have anything to do with scoring goals, blocking shots or winning faceoffs. It’s the support the players provided each other. He remembers one particular moment back in January when Keenan Scardina, who had been out since November, came back from an injury.

His first shift back was “horrible,” and Berry remembers that as he was coming back to the bench, he had his head

down and you could tell he was feeling down. His teammates and coaches didn’t let him stay down on himself.

“It wasn’t one guy or two — everyone was patting him on the back and saying ‘it will be OK,’ said Berry. “You could see it right through to the end; they didn’t turn on each other when things went bad. They always supported each other.”

Berry considers January, when the team had so many injuries, to be a turning point for the team. Injuries continued to plague the team throughout the season and Berry found out this week just how many team members were dealing with injuries or illness during the playoffs.

“You don’t just measure a season by wins and losses; you often measure it by the adversity a team faces, and this is a team that faced a lot of adversity,” he said.

While Berry has been volunteering for the Storm for five or six years, this was his first year doing the volunteer play by play commentary

“I don’t regret a minute of it,” he said.

“For me, it’s not the play by play. We had a nephew play junior hockey and I know how important it is to families — that’s who the broadcasts go to, the families to catch a glimpse or make sure they’re OK.” Berry can’t say enough about the community and fan support.

“It’s one of the bestattended Junior B franchises in B.C.,” he said, noting the team averaged 925 fans in an arena that seats 1,000 during the regular season.

“When you talk to the players, that’s one of the reasons they are here.”

With such fan support and incredible coaching, Berry feels the team will continue to attract firstrate players.

“It’s a testament to the organization, from top to bottom, that they get it — this is about the fans and the young men following their dream, on the ice and behind the bench,” he said.

“It’s a great organization. I’m so excited to be part of it.”

Campbell River

We are fortunate to live and fish in this beautiful part of the world we know as Campbell River.

When it comes to tourists visiting the area each year many come from countries where fishing licences are not required. On Discovery Pier I had met a couple with children who wanted to go fishing. When I explained what was needed they decided to put the fishing on hold.

I get many inquiries each week about fishing and the many questions people ask are varied and very interesting.

The most common question is: do I need a fishing guide to go fishing? The answer is no, there are many residents of Campbell River and area that own boats and go fishing. When it comes to purchasing fishing tackle you can spend as much as you can afford and go from there.

Darren Sampson caught a 14-pound spring off Discovery Pier at 11 a.m. last Friday using a Gibbs Minnow lure.

Last year, bigger fish were caught at the end of April and it goes to show if you spend time fishing off the pier and many anglers spend countless hours and they are rewarded with a salmon.

Meanwhile, last week in Sayward a 33-pound halibut was caught off the Kelsey Bay Wharf and a bigger one in the 70 plus range were hooked.

Darren Sampson with a 14 lb. Spring caught at Discovery Pier.

Lingcod and rockfish in Areas 12, 13 to 19, 20 and 29 will open May 1 until Sept. 30. Daily limit is is one and possession limit is two and size limit is 65 cms. For rockfish there is no size limit. There is an extended opening for Chinooks in areas 13-22and the waters of Bute Inlet will remain open to the retention of Chinooks for the month of May, 2016.

Upper elevation lakes are starting to see some warmer weather, which will mean better fishing in weeks to come.

Some roads can be very muddy and some tucked-away lakes will be hard to get to. Last Sunday on Echo Lake there were a number anglers fishing from the dock, canoes and small boats and the fish were hitting hard on small fly patterns and those trolling worms were getting their trout.

Last year while gearing up behind Echo, I heard a strange sound and as I turned around there was a charm of hummingbirds all in a group making their way to the next tree. Also while fishing on the highway side of Echo, I heard another strange sound and it was a drone operated by Colin Filliter and he was photographing Echo Lake from above.

The resident eagles keep a close eye on the anglers who fish the lake and often while playing a trout the eagle will come down and take away your catch. Last year I lost two trout and for a few seconds my fish and fly was airborne and gone.

My next fly tying session for beginners will be at the Campbell River Library from 1-3 p.m. this Sunday.

New comers are welcome to attend and register for future sessions.

McHappy Day will sock it to the hospital foundation

28 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR | FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 2016

T

his year’s McHappy Day is getting a boost thanks to some creative ideas from the local McDonald’s.

Local owners Jens and Mary Rolinksi, along with their staff, have been working to raise awareness and funds leading up to McHappy Day through the sale of the now sold out McHappy Mugs, McHappy Socks and a Garage Sale in the parking lot of McDonald’s (1361 16th Avenue) that takes place on Saturday, April 30.

All proceeds from the mugs, socks and garage sale will go towards the 2016 McHappy Day total. Socks can be purchased at any Campbell

River McDonald’s location for $5 a pair.

McHappy Day is Wednesday, May 4, 2016 and it helps raise money for Ronald McDonald Charities across the country and the Campbell River Hospital Foundation. For eight years, McHappy Day in Campbell River has helped to support both Ronald McDonald House Charities and quality health care for Campbell River and North Vancouver Island.

Proceeds from McHappy Day will help to purchase Bili Lights for the Campbell River Hospital’s maternity department.

Bili lights are a type of light therapy (phototherapy) that is used to

treat newborn jaundice.

Jaundice is a yellow colouring of the skin and eyes.

It is caused by too much of a yellow substance called bilirubin and is seen in 30 to 60 per cent of full-term newborns and in nearly all premature infants.

It occurs when a baby develops high levels of bilirubin, a by-product of the normal breakdown of red blood cells.

Ronald McDonald House Charities across the country help provide a home for families of sick or injured children while their child is being treated at a nearby hospital.

Research shows that sick children heal faster when their families

Tea, coffee and cake will be served. Welcoming remarks and a short talk on Sybil will take place at 3 p.m.

Sybil Andrews was born in 1898 in Bury St. Edmunds in England. A renowned artist

from the English Futurist Period of the 1920’s and 1930’s, she and her husband Walter Morgan arrived in Campbell River in 1947. Sybil taught art and music in her seaside Cottage in Willow Point for over 40 years. This years featured linocut image is ‘Fleece.’ Hana Leaper notes in her book Sybil Andrews Linocuts: A Complete Catalogue that, “Fleece was

Racing to Zero

This film documents a surprising, engaging and inspiring race to zero.

Hosted by the Youth Action Committee, this event will also feature a short film that shares the story of The Campbellton Neighborhood Association’s new community garden.

The Youth Action Committee chose these films to bring light to the importance of reducing our consumption and the amount of material

What does it take for a city to achieve zero waste?

This year’s feature film at the Earth Week Film Festival will share the story of a city trying to do just that.

Three years ago, the mayor of San Francisco pledged to achieve zero waste by 2020. Racing to Zero tracks San Francisco’s waste stream diversion tactics and presents innovative new solutions to waste.

inspired by observing Tom Hudson shearing at Hudson’s farm.

Andrews and her class had been invited to sketch at the farm by Hudson’s wife, Maris, a long-time pupil of hers and indeed several photographs exist of them together.” She also noted, “Eight [trial proofs] were printed but no edition was created. The print was discarded during proofing

in 1985 and the blocks destroyed.” Also, a reproduction of ‘Fleece’ will featured on the cake that the Mayor will cut at 3 p.m. The cake has been kindly provided by Thrifty’s Foods.

The Museum at Campbell River has one of the rare existing prints of ‘Fleece’ (shown right) The original print will be at the Cottage for viewing between 2-4 p.m.

The average household in Campbell River discards 340 kg of garbage each year, but only 10 per cent of this garbage belongs in the landfill. Remaining items can be recycled or composted. The City of Campbell River is striving to reduce the amount of material going into the landfill through public education and recycling programs.

ODYSSEY’S SERVICE TEAM

ARTS ENTERTAINMENT E

very year in late April hundreds of music students, teachers, relatives and friends gather for an eleven day celebration of music in our community.

The 29th annual Music Week, sponsored by the Campbell River Friends of Music, begins next Tuesday (April 19).

One of only a few non-competitive music festivals in B.C., Music Week offers pianists, singers and string players the chance to work with an experienced master teacher in a non-threatening and collaborative setting.

In a departure from traditional music festivals, Music Week offers even very early beginners the chance to perform.

The Carnival portion of the festival – April 29 and 30 – will feature Carter Johnson as its master teacher, working with students from the earliest stages of piano study to RCM Grade Two. Johnson is well known in his home town of Campbell River and is finishing his second year in the School of Music at UBC. He has won many awards for performance and pedagogy and will be a real asset at this year’s Carnival.

Since 1987

Annual celebration of music gets underway next week Singers, performing many styles of vocal music, from classics and folk songs to musical theatre and jazz, alone and in ensembles, are one of the highlights of Music Week, drawing big audiences. Cantabile, the vocal portion of the festival, is on April 22 and 23, with master teacher Sara Partridge, from Victoria.

String players, including individuals, groups and fiddle, make up Pizzicato. They will work with Kathryn Wiebe on April 19 and 20, while pianists occupy the bulk of the festival schedule from April 25 to 29. The Fiesta master teacher will be Bernard Duerksen from the lower mainland.

One of the high points of Music Week every year is the Ruth Scott Chopin Competition, now in its eighth year.

On Sunday evening, April 24 at 7:30 p.m., twelve students will perform piano music by Chopin, with the winner – as chosen by Bernard Duerksen – taking home a prize of $500.

This is always an exciting event for both the audience and the participants. Admission is by donation.

Her friends, colleagues and family instituted this Chopin competition in her name.

The festival always concludes with a Finale Concert of some of the best music making from Fiesta, Pizzicato and Cantabile. This con-

All Music Week classes take place at Trinity Presbyterian Church on Simms Road.

They are open to the public for a modest fee, or with an 11-day family pass costing $5.

Island Voices spring concerts showcase some new voices

S

ince 1997, Island Voices Choir has been on a quest – a quest for excellence. Founded by the late Frances Keen, the choir’s mission statement has been “to sing excellent music excellently.”

This year’s spring concerts – happening tonight and tomorrow (April 15 and 16), will definitely demonstrate the choir’s progress – with new singers, new and challenging music, and a renewed and more polished choral sound. Conductor Jenn Forsland describes the choir as “an evolving ensemble still rooted in its fundamental pursuits of excellence in choral art.”

This year the choir added five new members to its family, adding youth, energy and a breadth of experience.

Added to the women’s sections are two well-known vocal teachers and conductors. Many locals will recognize soprano Carol Anne Parkinson from solo work with CYMC and the North Island Choral Society, as director of the Nova Voce Choral Society, and through Kindermusik, which provides a strong musical start for children newborn to age seven.

Alto Rosemary Lindsay, who drives up from Qualicum each week, was fortunate enough to cut her choral teeth in Vancouver’s highly celebrated Phoenix Chamber Choir. She also sang with the Vancouver Cantata Singers, the Vancouver Chamber Choir, and the premier women’s choir, Elektra. Since moving to Vancouver Island, her perspective has been from the podium, directing small and large choirs, but she is thrilled to be once again singing.

And the men’s section has added three talented new members.

Jason Lee, an avid musician, joins the choir after recently moving from Calgary to Campbell River.

Adding some youthful exuberance to the tenor section, Vanier grad Josh Tucker started singing halfway

through Grade 11 and found himself loving it. A student at North Island College, Josh also sings with Celebration Singers and Vocal Minority.

But it is always the bass section which is the foundation of a choir’s sound. Singing those pure low notes is new bass Kurt Reimer. Although he started with piano and trumpet, “singing is what I loved more than instrumental music,” he says. He sang with a men’s barbershop chorus in Kentville, NS and a maritime champion quartet called Seventh Wave.

Kurt brought his family to Comox in 2010, but it wasn’t until five years later, after watching his son perform with Cantiamo, that he was moved to find a choir for himself.

But though there have been quite a few new members in recent years, Island Voices is still sticking to the roots created by Frances Keen. After nineteen years, there are still eight founding members in the choir. The cohesive nature of the group, the commitment to hard work, to learning, and to supporting each other has kept these experienced musicians returning year after year.

After a very moving and successful Remembrance Day program, Island Voices began working on their current repertoire in November.

“Our Flight Begins as Song” features songs about music and songs linked to flight – birds, angels, wind and clouds, and includes the Canadian premier of John Conohan’s “Of Men and Angels.”

Performances are on Friday, April 15 at Comox United Church (with the Village Voices from Qualicum), and on Saturday, April 16 at Campbell River’s Maritime Heritage Centre.

Both concerts begin at 7:30 and tickets cost $20 (students accompanied by an adult free). For further info contact jo-anne.preston@shaw. ca.

For more information about the documentary film series, phone 250-287-3655 or email psiebold@virl.bc.ca.

You can view trailers for each documentary on the library’s website at http://virl.bc.ca/ branches/campbell-river.

The upcoming films in the series are:

n April 25: The World According to Monsanto (2008, 109 minutes) With operations in 46 countries, Monsanto has become the world leader in genetically modified organisms (GMOs), as well as one of the most controversial corporations in industrial history.

Since its founding in 1901, the U.S. multinational has faced trial after trial due to the toxicity of its products.

Today, it has reinvented itself as a “life sciences” company converted to the virtues of sustainable development. n May 9: Waterlife (2009, 109 minutes) Waterlife is a documentary film about the Great Lakes that follows the flow of the lakes’ water from the Nipigon River to the Atlantic Ocean.

The film’s goal is to take viewers on a tour of an incredibly beautiful ecosystem that is facing complex challenges. n May 30: Up the Yangtze (2007, 93 minutes) This award-winning documentary follows the Shiu family as their home is destroyed by the rising waters of China’s Yangtze River, a consequence of the

In this film, we follow him to China as he travels the country capturing the evidence and effects of the country’s massive industrial revolution. n June 27: Okanagan Dreams (2001, 46 minutes) This documentary follows the migration of thousands of young Quebecers as they travel to British Columbia to harvest fruit in the lush Okanagan Valley. The camera follows several spirited youth into the orchards for seven weeks.

Although their work is integral to the local economy, the youth find that the experience is not just about making money.

It’s about awareness, self-discovery and exploring the world.

T h e C ampb e l l River Library is also hosting a special Earth Day NFB documentary screening Friday, April 22.

At 2 p.m., the library will screen Hadwin’s Judgment.

Written and directed

by Sasha Snow, the 91-minute 2015 film is inspired by John Vaillant’s awardwinning book The Golden Spruce.

Described as “a compelling hybrid of drama and documentary,” the film covers the events that led up to the infamous destruction of a 300-yearold tree held sacred by the indigenous Haida nation of Haida Gwaii.

“Hadwin’s Judgement is a spellbinding and visually stunning account of environmentalism, obsession, and myth set in the Pacific Northwest,” according to the NFB. “It chronicles one man’s resolute struggle to reconcile what he regarded as an intolerable and conspiratorial affront — not just to the land, but to humanity as well.”

Being lost is a very stressful event for both the animal and his guardians.

to find the animal's home before you call or take him into the BC SPCA or local Animal Control.

bourhoods where they are stray and the guardians may be frantically looking for their pet.

Bringing the animal to your local animal shelter is an option but moving the animal from the neighbourhood reduces the chances that the pet will be reunited with his guardian. A trip to the local shelter is also a very traumatic experience for an animal. So if you are able, take some time to find the guardian on your own. Here are some tips to help you find a lost animal's way home.

Look for identification (ID) We encourage all animal guardians to ensure their pets have at least one of the following forms of identification.

Collar and/or ID tag Does the animal have a collar with an ID tag? The tag may have the animal's home number or home address that

will help you track down his family. For dogs, some tags are strictly municipal dog license tags and most likely will not have the animal's information, but call your local BC SPCA or Animal Control and they should be able to help you track where the dog lives.

Ear tattoo If the animal that you have found has a legible tattoo number in the ear, you can check the list of all BC veterinarian tattoo codes then contact the corresponding vet to report the found animal. If you cannot find a corresponding code, it may be that the animal was tattooed in another province or state.

form of electronic identification that are inserted under the animal's skin.

Note that all BC SPCA adopted cats and dogs are microchipped and registered with BC Pet Registry – it is likely that the animal may have a microchip!

Unfortunately, you will have no way of knowing if an animal has a microchip. You must take the animal to a veterinary clinic, Animal Control services centre, or a BC SPCA shelter to have the animal scanned for a microchip.

The benefits of professional dog groomers

Some dogs are more cooperative than others during grooming sessions. Likewise, some dog owners are apprehensive about grooming their dogs, knowing that dogs can easily be hurt during the grooming process. Professional dog groomers can make grooming that much more comfortable for uneasy dogs and owners while providing a host of additional benefits.

Garden WEEKLY

Breathtaking Peonies Peonies are probably the most sentimental of all plants. So frequently we hear wonderful stories of relatives or friends brought to mind simply with the thought of peonies. Perhaps that is one of the reasons they are often chosen for bridal bouquets. Or maybe it is simply because peony blooms are so beautiful that they can take your breath away.

Peonies bloom from late Spring to early Summer. They come in an extensive range of colours including many pink shades as well as red, fuchsia, peachy-pink, yellow and white. They also differ in form; from fully double bomb types to the delicately simple singles and many unusual forms in between. The lacy foliage of peonies is also quite lovely, enhancing the garden throughout the summer, and finally turning shimmery plum shades in the fall. Peonies are very deer resistant which brings a smile to many a gardener's faces.

There are three main groups of peonies.

Garden Peonies (Paeonia lactiflora) these are your granny's mind-blowing, beautiful peonies that grow between two and three feet tall and die back to the ground each fall. Granny would be

have the large loose flowers of the Tree Peonies usually semi-double but like Garden Peonies grow two to three feet tall. One of the best things about Itoh Peonies is that they bloom profusely and for a much longer period.

Choose a full sun location with well-drained soil and amend your soil with bonemeal and manure.

An annual spring fertilising of equal parts rock phosphate and organic mix is an excellent way to promote vigour and flowers. Spacing is also important as Peonies don't like competition for moisture or nutrients. Give each plant an area of at least 2 feet in diameter and once established try not to move your peonies.

My sisters and I all love peonies and I always think of them when I plant or cut the flowers to enjoy indoors. I can't help it. It is not something that I set out to do; it is simply that at some point during the choosing, planting or cutting our love of peonies comes to mind and they become a part my time in my garden.

I think it is wonderful, a bit of whimsy, to wander through a garden that brings those that are precious to mind and I strongly recommend it!

impressed to see the range of colours and forms available. All gorgeous!

Tree Peonies (Paeonia suffruticosa) grow between five and six feet tall and form a permanent trunk that remains through the winter only dropping the leaves in fall. The flowers on tree peonies are often huge and usually single or semi-double. Tree Peonies are notoriously mislabeled worldwide for colour so whenever possible choose these in bloom.

Itoh Peonies are the third type and are a cross between Garden Peonies and Tree Peonies. Itoh Peonies

Shedding a little light on shade gardens Many amateur gardeners have difficulty choosing plants for a shady area.

Although the options were extremely limited up until not so long ago, it’s a very different story these days. Now, garden centres offer a wide variety of suitable plants that add beauty and interest to any type of flowerbed.

The first step in creating a shade garden is to realize that “shade” is not always easy to define. Very few bud-

plant varieties with care, taking into consideration leaf texture and plant shapes, which are important factors in any shade garden.

A last piece of advice: most shade plants require rich, cool soil. To create the right conditions for them, spread a thick layer of shredded leaves around their bases in the fall. As they slowly decompose and become humus, the leaves fertilize the soil.

Sea cadets put Navy frigate through its paces T

wenty-three cadets from 54 Admiral DeWolf Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps (RCSCC) in Campbell River had a once in a lifetime opportunity to sail in a Royal Canadian Navy frigate on Saturday, April 9, during a training weekend in Victoria.

The Campbell River cadets joined more than 200 other sea cadets

from around Vancouver Island and the 225 crew members of HMCS Ottawa for a day at sea.

“This has been the best experience ever!

I’ve learned so much about the Navy today and I’m so proud to be a sea cadet,” said Cadet Ordinary Seaman Ethan Jewell, 54 RCSCC. The crew and cadets put the ship through its paces at full speed, up to 30 knots, and heeling

over 25-30 degrees during manoeuvers.

During the day, cadets spent time with sailors at 13 different activity stations learning the various functions of daily life and the rhythm of a Canadian warship including weapons, firefighting, navigation and command, operations, boarding and rescue.

On Sunday, all cadets were inspected by Rear-Admiral Gilles

Couturier, Commander Maritime Forces Pacific during an Admiral’s Ceremonial Divisions parade.

The parade included a massed band as well as several promotions and

3x1.5

recognitions.

“The Cadet Program helps thousands of young people grow into well-rounded, community-minded and experienced young adults. Spending time with these great young Canadians and future leaders of this country has truly been inspiring and I want to personally thank everyone involved in supporting our cadets and making this program a success in every way possible,” said RearAdmiral Couturier, Commander Maritime Forces Pacific.

HMCS Ottawa recently completed its Halifax-class Modernization / Frigate Life Extension upgrade last year and is continuing with sea trials to prepare for future operations and exercises.

The programs are delivered by the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces in partnership with the civilian Navy League, and Army and

Air Cadet Leagues of Canada.

There are 1,200 sea cadets in BC and 8,000 across Canada.

Sea cadets have the opportunity to earn Canadian Sailing Association qualifications and have unique opportunities to sail on RCN ships, tall ships, attend summer camps and participate in international exchanges.

Picking the perfect Pinot Noir O

affordable California Pinot Noir are grown in Monterey County and Sonoma County and harvested in the cool of the evening and early morning.

Straightforward WINE and simply fruit forward and approachable in style, Mirassou Pinot Noir (366880) $12.00 has sweet and juicy fresh fruit flavors of pomegranates, cherries and currants with aromas of strawberries, pomegranates and cherries and light vanilla, caramel oak notes.

ften 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, underappreciated or just plain misunderstood.

There doesn’t seem to be a wine grape that does not flourish somewhere in California. Preferring cooler growing conditions, Pinot Noir is arguably at its best in the Carneros and Rissian River Valley regions. More

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 – like so many Pinot Noirs with barbequed salmon, chicken and pork.

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.

Grown in Languedoc, in the French southwest, Domaine Laroche Vin de Pays d’Oc Pinot Noir de la Chevalière

(205534) $16.65 has the elegance we expect in French red wines.

Although it does not have the pedigree of more expensive Burgundy, this light dry red opens up with sweet notes of strawberry, dried cherries and dusty cranberry.

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.

Our own B.C. winemakers are working with ripe fruit in a variety of different microclimates. The slight dif-

ferences 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 (774455) $20.45 won inclusion in the 2015 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.

Perfect cool climate environments for Pinot exist in Australia in just a few regions, notably in Victoria’s Yarra Valley with its cool, crisp slopes and aver-

age humidity, and the Mornington Peninsula with its maritime cooling nights. But perhaps the region that is continues to cause the most excitement is Australia’s far southern island of Tasmania.

Heemskerk is Treasury Wines’ Tasmanian brand producing seriously smart Tasmanian wines. From Australia’s dependably coolest growing region. Heemskerk’s Abel’s Tempest Pinot Noir (65540 $29.80 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 over earthy mushroom and truffles.

With 100 different appellations, myriad individual vineyards and more than 3,000 individual producers. Burgundy has five sub-regions: Chablis in the Yonne department; the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune in the Côte d’Or; and the Chalonnais and Mâconnais in the Saone-etLoire. Pommard is a renowned source of red wines from the Côted’Or. Crafted from selected

grapes from 35 year-old vines, Seguin Manuel Pommard Vieilles Vignes (514414) $77.90 needs an hour in a decanter to open up.

Spicy aromas of strawberry fruit tease the nose and a woodsy dark dried black cherry and strawberry set of flavours finish with a soft and lingering prickle of peppery tannins.

Creative use of vacant space proposed

54 || CAMPBELL CAMPBELL RIVER RIVER MIRROR MIRROR || FRIDAY, FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 2016 54

MIKE DAVIES

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

W

ith the City of Campbell River launching a survey asking for public feedback into what they’d like a redesigned downtown to look like, one local business owner, cochair of the Downtown Business Improvement Association and fixture in the Campbell River arts community has another idea that might add some vitality to the core of our city, as well.

Heather Gordon Murphy, owner/operator of RainCoast Creative Performing Arts Studio, says the upstairs of the building at 938 Island Highway, which used to house Pier Street Billiards, has been sitting vacant too long, and

she has an idea to get some use out of it that she thinks would bring huge benefit to the community – especially downtown.

“How great would it be to get a bunch of artists in here?” she asks as we walk around the echoey space. “This is such a waste, having this amazing space sitting here, overlooking the water, just empty – when it could be full of life.”

The idea isn’t a complicated one, nor is it the first time it’s been suggested that surplus, empty space in the downtown core be utilized by artists to inject some life into otherwise dead spaces or areas.

“The Cube,” an empty storefront on Alder Street between Beech Street and 10th Avenue

is currently being used as a community arts space operated by the Campbell River Arts Council, for example.

But having artists cohabit one larger space could bring even more benefit than having them spread their art over the area in small pockets, according to Ken Blackburn, executive director of the Arts Council.

“Anybody in the arts knows the value of the other arts,” Blackburn says. “If you’re a musician, it’s important to see visual art; it’s important to see film.

If you’re a dancer, it’s important to see theatre.

All of the arts, at some point, pollinate ideas that are adopted to your medium, even though they’ve come from seeing them in another

one.”

The idea would see artists of all mediums – painters, musicians, dancers, jewelry makers – move into the large vacant space, creatively feed off each other, collaborate, and inject some much-needed life into an area that needs it, Murphy says.

They could form a cooperative or society, or just be independent.

There are lots of ways it could work, she says.

And she also says there’s really no downside to trying it, because artists, by their nature, are a fluid and adaptable folk.

“If the building sells or something, it’s no problem, because the artists just pack up and go somewhere else,” she says with a laugh.

“They’re kind of used to it.”

Sometimes, however, when this has been tried in other places, things work out even better than “no downside.” It turns out there’s also a huge possible upside.

“This is happening all over the world,” Murphy says. “It’s happening in big cities and small towns – they have an empty building downtown and nobody knows what to do with it, so they put some retail on the bottom and they create an arts space upstairs. Sometimes the building itself actually ends up being bought by the art collective that has formed around it, because they end up doing so well.”

Murphy openly acknowledges her conflict of interest in this, as well. Her business is downstairs from the potential site, so the additional through-traffic could be of benefit for her, but she says it’s almost irrelevant where it happens. It doesn’t need to be there – what’s important is that the

conversation happens about the concept, because it’s something we need as a community.

“I just think there’s an opportunity here that’s worth looking at,” Murphy says.

Blackburn does, too.

“It’s all the things the city says it wants,” he says. “Whether it happens there or somewhere else, we should be paying attention to that kind of thought, because that’s the kind of thing that would be really, really good in terms of furthering this idea of cultural place-building and community identity.”

It would also be good for other downtown business, he says.

“What would revitalize downtown more than a positive change in the energy down there?” Blackburn wonders aloud. “You can plant all the trees you want, and pretty up the storefronts, and make it more ‘walking friendly,’ or whatever it is the

city is going to look at doing,” Blackburn says, “but those things, by themselves, aren’t going to be enough to really make a difference – to give the area enough energy to really improve things at a core level.

People want to go where there’s vitality – and that vitality, that energy, is going to come from your arts sector.”

And it’s that vitality that people remember when they visit a place, as well, Blackburn says.

“If you come to a place like Campbell River, sure, there are a few things you can go do, but if that’s one of them – that mosaic or kaleidoscope of artistic things going on in one place – it’s extremely impactful and memorable because that’s the kind of experience you would’t expect to be seeing here.”

He also says it’s one of the most glaring gaps in arts offerings and services in town.

“If we’re talking about increasing cultural tour-

ism and build places where visitors can come to get a sense of the art scene here, where would they go?” Blackburn asks rhetorically.

After all, the Campbell River Art Gallery’s mandate is to show exhibiting artists from outside the community – the more renowned the better.

They carry out that mandate very well, Blackburn says, but it’s not a place where people would go to see local work by local artists.

The prospect of having a shared arts space would fill that service gap – for both local artists and those visiting our great community – perfectly, Blackburn says, wherever it ends up being.

Anyone interested in how they could be a part of this idea can contact Murphy at heather@ coremoves.ca or Blackburn at arts.council@ crarts.ca to get in on the conversation in the early stages and see what it turns into.

Fiat 500 style back in ‘57… driving is no challenge as long as you are not looking to drag race.

Once you get past the name and the style interpretation, this commemorative edition is a very different car from the real 1957 edition. It’s got all the extras today’s drivers demand, such as a comprehensive air bag system, hill start assist, electronic stability control, touchscreen navigation and comfy leather seats.

The tester also had a power sunroof, which adds a $750 to the base price of $22,995. Don’t think you would want to do without that goody. The full leather package, with classy accent stitching, adds another $2,000. With the inclusion of the $1,755 destination charge, the final sticker price for this version hit $28,755.

Not a cheap little car at all but it’s more than merely cute and it’s a lot of fun to drive.

Safety Tip: With the weather getting warmer, give your vehicle a seasonal tune-up. If you have winter tires, swap them for all-seasons in good condition and properly inflated. Change your wiper fluid if you were using an anti-freeze solution and replace your wiper blades if they’re cracked or rigid.

Gleaming raffle prize is legacy of Beth’s fight against cystic fibrosis

Walk for Hearts is good for your heart (and everybody’s else’s)

W

alking is good for your heart and the annual Walk for Hearts on May 1 is good for everybody’s heart.

The Campbell River Branch of the First Open Heart Society is holding its annual walk at 2 p.m., Sunday, May 1, starting from the Willow Point Hall and making its way along the Sea Walk, returning to the hall by 3 p.m. Registration opens at 1 p.m.

The Walk For Hearts is a fun family affair with refreshments provided and prizes for adults and children can be won by draws after the walk. All children receive a prize.

Participants in the walk either provide a donation or gather pledges from others to raise funds for the event which benefits cardiac patients throughout the North Island and in the Campbell River Hospital. Tax receipts are provided. Some of the proceeds from this year’s walk will be utilized to purchase cardiac equipment for the Campbell River Hospital.

This year the Campbell River branch of the First Open Heart Society is partnering with Strathcona Gardens to present the walk. Musial entertainment will be provided Rich Hagensen and Joanne Banks.

This year’s walk is dedicated to the memory of Cliff Riddoch, a longtime member and devoted member of the society.

A small group of people founded the Campbell River Branch of the First Open Heart Society over 30 years ago. They meet every fourth Wednesday of the month at the Community Centre from September through May. If you would like to make a difference in something worthwhile and participate in an

T

hanks to Preston Jewellers, Neal Hamilton and Corona Jewellery Company, a beautiful diamond earring and pendant set will help raise funds to fight cystic fibrosis.

The raffle is in memory of Beth Hamilton who was a tireless volunteer for Cystic Fibrosis Canada’s Campbell River Chapter. She initiated a diamond raffle in 2002 as part of her effort to raise funds to find a cure for cystic fibrosis – the disease her son Michael fights everyday of his life.

To honour Beth’s commitment, her husband Neal insures the raffle continues – as Beth’s legacy. The prize this year is a gorgeous set of Canadian diamond earrings and pendant with a total weight of half carat.

Kim Stevens, manager of Prestons Jewellers said “it is our pleasure to support this important cause – I was impressed by Beth’s efforts and want to be part of finding a solution for people with cystic fibrosis.”

Tickets are available at Preston Jewellers for $10 each. They will also be sold at Quality Foods April 29 and 30, May

The First Open Heart Society is a Vancouver Island cardiac support group with branches in Victoria, Nanaimo, Courtenay as well as Campbell River. Head office in Victoria owns and operates Heart House which is a Bed & Breakfast within walking distance of the Royal Jubilee Hospital for the use and comfort of North Island patients and their families. The Campbell River branch has furnished the “Campbell River Room.”

Since 1990, the Campbell River Branch has donated almost $300,000 for cardiac equipment for the Campbell River Hospital which includes funds for nurses’ and technicians’ education in cardiac courses.

But the branch’s primary function is not to raise money for hospital equipment but to provide support for local heart patients (anyone with a cardiovascular problem) and their families, who are facing or recovering from heart surgery or experiencing any other heart or cardiovascular related problem or procedure. This may come in the form of moral support and/or financial support for people in need of medical treatment in Vancouver or Victoria. Special emphasis is given to families with children facing surgery for heart-related problems at B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver.

The group has one fundraiser per year and does not receive any government funding or grants. Plus they are run completely by volunteers.

GOLF Weekly Fats, Thins and Pures!

By: Steven MacPherson, CPGA Professional, Storey Creek Golf Club Email: golfinstruction@me.com Cell: 1.250.504.1050

As a Golf Instructor with 20+ years of experience, there are a number of detrimental moves that I see happen too often. One of these moves is determined initially, by how students visualize striking a golf ball.

In other sports, like tennis or baseball for example, to get the ball airborne, the racquet/bat needs to be swung from under the ball in an upward motion. The angle of the tennis racquet would also be adjusted to gain further height. On a bat, the centredness of hit would determine further the trajectory of the strike.

The class started a bursary fund and have been awarding a bursary each year to a graduating Carihi student.

“It makes us really proud,” Young said about being able to give back to their school.

When asked about funny Carihi memories, Anne shared that John Young used to stand on a box when speaking to the students in the halls.

“He was quite short, so he did this so the rest of us could see him – that is the truth.”

Like Young, graduates of the class of ’66 are still very fond of Carihi.

“We felt that we were a pretty tight-knit class. It speaks volumes being the first class because we’ve had all these reunions and now it’s our 50th and we’ve still got 80 people attending. Everyone still wants to get together and remember Carihi.”

History of Carihi

By Anthony Akelaitis,

Carihi teacher from 1967-1989

C

arihi Secondary School is located in Campbell River, B.C., and is a fully accredited educational institution offering grades 10, 11 and 12. Carihi has an outstanding academic history and the school has a diverse student population along with a rich cultural tradition of tolerance, individuality, creativity and understanding of ethnic and racial differences Carihi offers a variety of educational programs to meet the needs of the students in attendance.

In September 1992, Carihi became a dual track English and French Immersion school.

Before 1965, Carihi was a grade 8 through grade 12, school located on Seventh Avenue. In 1965, Carihi was divided into two educational institutions consisting of a junior high school offering grades 8, 9 and 10 located at the original Carihi site on Seventh Avenue and a new senior secondary school offering grades 11, 12, and 12 at a new school site on Dogwood Street.

The first principal of the new Campbell River Senior Secondary School was John Young. Mr. Young became provincially, nationally and internationally known for

Kerry Lutrell was the first recipient. This award is given to the best student in the graduating class exhibiting excellent academic achievement, along with outstanding leadership and athletic ability. The first female recipient of the Glyn Fitzgerald Award was Barbara Ross who graduated from Carihi in 1971. To this day, the Glyn Fitzgerald Award remains the most prestigious honour that a graduating Carihi student can receive.

When the Campbell River his progressive educational Junior Secondary School philosophy. As principal of was destroyed by fire in the new senior secondary late August of 1976, the school, Mr. Young believed Campbell River Senior that students should learn Secondary School housed to be responsible for their both senior and junior educational decisions.

name of the school annual as far back as 1950 and was not the official name of any school in Campbell River until 1984.

In September 1988, Carihi ceases to be a junior-senior school and became a senior secondary school once again offering grades 10, 11 and 12, with the grade 8 and 9 students attending Phoenix Junior High School on Seventh Avenue. The main reason for this change in the grade composition of Carihi was due to a belief by a number of parents and educators that a senior secondary school would have greater resources and student numbers to offer a wide variety of courses and programs to broaden the opportunities and experiences of senior students. When this structural change occurred, the school retained the name “Carihi”.

Carihi is a dynamic school culturally and academically.

The school’s cultural and academic orientation dates back to the school’s founding in 1965.

Educational success along with tolerance and the acceptance of diversity have always been the main traits of Carihi’s school culture.

From the school’s beginning to the present, the academic traditions and school culture have continued to evolve and be refined with each generation of Carihi students.

Throughout the school’s history, Carihi teachers and administrators have been creative in devising programs to furnish the students with a broad spectrum of educational opportunities. The “Senior Scholar – Subject Scholar

Program” along with the “Work Experience Program” were two such strategies employed in the late 1960’s. The “Humanities, Environmental Studies and Office Simulation Programs” were devised in the 1970’s to present students with the opportunity to concentrate on a special area of knowledge.

Other programs implemented at Carihi in the 1970’s, included music, art and drama. Mr. Tom Austin was instrumental in establishing the music program which has continued to evolve at Carihi. The Art Program has added a cultural dimension to Carihi and Campbell River with the exhibition of student art at both the school and the Tidemark Theatre. A high point of the Art Program was the close working relationship between the Grad Committee and the art department that developed in the 1980’s resulting in each graduate creating a silk banner that became part of Carihi’s grad decorations in the 1980’s and early 1990’s.

The drama department produced outstanding productions of “Peter Pan” and “Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamboat” in the 1970’s with Carihi now having its own theatre, “The Miracle Theatre”.

The 1980’s witnessed the birth of the Carihi Scholarship Club. In 1982, a number of Carihi teachers established the Scholarship Club to provide students with extra instruction to prepare for provincial scholarship examinations and commencing in 1984 government final examinations in grade 12

Wanda LeNaour Johnson 1969 Grad A very memorable year!!!

courses. The success of this program is exhibited by the large number of Carihi students qualifying for provincial scholarships annually and the above average marks achieved by Carihi students on provincial examinations.

In the 1990’s, Carihi was one of the first three schools in British Columbia to establish a First Nations Studies Program. The Native Studies Program incorporated First Nations history, culture and traditions into the Social Studies 10 and 11 courses in addition to the introduction of the Native Studies 12 course. In recognition of the close connection between Carihi and the First Nation’s communities in Campbell River and on Quadra Island, Bill, Junior and Greg Henderson carved the totem pole in front of the Carihi Library for the school.

Currently, Ray Wilson is the Native Studies teacher at Carihi. Ray was a 1993 Carihi graduate and he is the first First Nations graduate of the school to teach at Carihi.

Two other significant programs that emerged at Carihi in the 1990’s were the Flex and Media Programs. The Flex Program satisfied the learning needs of students who want an alternative approach to education. The Flex Program motivates students to stay in school to complete grade 12 while at the same time allowing students to express and develop their creativity through film production, the Media Program has increased communication within the school and between Carihi and the Campbell River community as many of its productions can be viewed on C.R.T.V.

The Carihi Media Program has won recognition locally, provincially and nationally for the quality of its productions.

Since its inception, Carihi has offered its students a large and varied athletic program. In 1965, boys and girls basketball, curling and girls grass hockey were the most popular student sports. Today, the Carihi athletic program offers wrestling, soccer, rugby, volleyball, basketball, track and field, golf, swimming and tennis. The 1983 Carihi boys basketball team was the first Carihi basketball team in the history of the school to qualify to attend the B.C. Provincials where the team placed fifth.

Since 1983, six Carihi boys basketball teams have qualified to attend the “Provincials” placing first, third, fourth, sixth and ninth.

Carihi is a vibrant and cosmopolitan educational institution. Nay of the philosophical aspects of the school culture and academic programs serve as a model for what other B.C. secondary schools want to achieve. Also, many of the ideas and programs that evolved at Carihi have been adopted provincially which was brought about fundamental change in the nature of B.C. secondary education since 1965.

Each Carihi graduate, teacher, administrator, and parent can be proud of the contribution that she/he made to the development of the Carihi culture and the academic reputation of the school.

Congratulations Carihi on your 50th!!

Ray Wilson and the legacy of Carihi Secondary School

By Greta Hamilton

I

n its last 50 years, Carihi has watched generations of students leave Campbell River to expand their education academically and professionally.

And while the future is nothing but unknown variables for the graduate, there is one thing students in Campbell River often hear: “Everyone always comes back.”

Alumni teacher Ray Wilson is no exception to the returning grads.

Wilson attended Carihi from 1990-1993, and began teaching in 2005.

He was a star basketball player and soccer player.

He later did his practicum at Carihi and now both teaches class and coaches basketball at the high school.

“Carihi was like what it is now. You can do what you want as long as you are respectful to other people…People accept you for who you are and what you do. I was a gym rat. We used to have a late slip. I was late for class every single day after lunch because I was out playing basketball, and I don’t remember getting

in trouble for that. The teachers knew what I was doing, so there was an understanding.”

Wilson reflects on his time at Carihi – as both a teacher and a student – as a learning experience.

There’s a culture of acceptance, respect and diversity that has perpetuated through the turnover of staff and students. Carihi’s students are fed in from Quadra, Cortes, Sayward, multiple first nations bands – Laich-kwil-tach, Coast Salish, Metis, Lachanal – and Carihi also offers the French Immersion program. This diversity, Wilson believes, “is what makes Carihi Carihi.”

It’s also the connection with the community.

Wilson taught the Tyee Program – a full day, single semester program that offered four required Grade 10 courses with a focus on experiential environmental studies.

The program partnered with Greenways Land

Trust to maintain and build trails in the Beaver Lodge Lands and around the Haig Brown property, and clean up Baikie Island. Excursions varied year to year, but the trips included hiking Mt. Albert Edward, Cape Scott, skiing up Mt Washington, and team building on Hornby Island. Though it is currently not offered, Wilson says of the program, “as soon as you got outdoors, the kids that struggled in the classroom were stars.”

The classes and programs available at Carihi, such as the Tyee program, parallel its student diversity and are tailored for all kinds of learning styles. But the school is changing, and is facing further reconfiguration in the future. A new curriculum is being implemented, and rumours are circling that Carihi could be torn down.

“As far as tearing it down, it would be sad. But I mean, I understand. A school built in the 60s is deteriorating. Its hard to say if the culture of Carihi would move on. It depends on the principal and staff, and starts there.

I think it could,” says Wilson.

Regarding his experience as an Aboriginal teacher, Wilson says he has

always felt a sort of pressure. The process of changing from student to teacher while also dismantling stereotypes and misconception has meant “adapting to how I should be as a teacher at Carihi, and ultimately learning to embrace those expectations.”

Along with Carihi’s configuration changes, Wilson also hopes to see the system change in the direction of education of aboriginal culture.

“I think we have a ways to go…When I was at school, First Nations studies wasn’t a class – I couldn’t take Kwakwala.

So there has been progress. But there is still a misconception of who Aboriginal people are and what they’re about. Until there’s total action, words are just words.”

Specific changes include making First Nations studies a mandatory course, which Wilson has brought to the school board, and heard much agreement.

“If you don’t take [First Nations studies], you don’t have an idea of what actually happened.

Anyone can say ‘that happened a long time ago’ but it wasn’t a long time ago. That’s the cause of a big misunderstanding. But it’s

easy to fix.”

Both Carihi and the public education system are evolving for the future.

This change puts into question Carihi’s role in the community as it passes its milestone 50th anniversary. Although its fate is currently unsettled, Wilson simply states it can involve by “increasing community connections… When you have that connection,

students understand and respect the community.

There’s far more learning in that than you can get inside.” Wilson suggests continuing classes working with younger students at elementary schools, volunteering at an old folks homes, or serving at a soup kitchen, as well as developing the work experience program.

“The great thing about

Carihi is that you always think the school will change, but [the staff and students] adapt to the culture and keep it going.

Its still as good of a place as it was when I was a student.”

And though he’s not sure if its economically viable, Wilson says of Carihi “I hope it stays forever.”

Destination Imagination team wins regionals, finishes fourth in B.C. JASMINE MACGREGOR CARIHI MIRROR

Victory was achieved

by Carihi’s Destination Imagination team on March 5 at their regional competition in Comox at Highland Secondary.

The team of six students placed first among other competitors at the competition and competed at provincials in Surrey on April 9, where they placed fourth at the high school level.

Destination Imagination pushes the limits of student imagination by creating challenges for them to solve creatively and co-operatively with their teammates. Teams had to choose one challenge to be their main focus for the year. They could choose between challenges that fell under categories such as technical, structural, scientific and fine arts.

Carihi’s team selected the fine arts challenge, which required them to work as a team to create a very unique type of play.

“They had to base it around a specific time period before the 1990s,” said Destination Imagination teacher sponsor Thomas Diesch. “They had to come up with a mystery with a possibility of three different suspects. Their story really had to portray the time period they were in and provide evidence toward each suspect.”

But the performance wasn’t so simple.

Youth Action Committee members Sidney Demuth, Nigel Neufeld, Brendan Mainprize and Kianna Shwaluk show off a poster for the upcoming Earth Week Film Fest. The festival will showcase a short film about the Campbellton Community Garden and the film Racing to Zero April 21 at the Tidemark Theatre.

“There’s a whole other level to the play called the ‘TechniClue,’” said Diesch. “They have to have some kind of technical innovation related to the time period included in their performance. It needs to helps them reveal who the suspect is. They also had to do some research so they could demonstrate how it works during their performance.”

In addition to the “TechniClue,” the team had to present two “Team Choice Elements” that wove the team’s interests, skills areas of strength and talents into the story.

Like any good performance, there is usually a twist; however, this one wasn’t directed at the

audience, but to the cast.

The team had to put the names of their suspects into envelopes prior to beginning their performance. The suspect was then randomly selected by the adjudicator.

“They [didn’t] know which of the three suspects [committed the crime] until they opened an envelope live on stage that had the name of the suspect,” said Diesch. “They then had to continue their performance based on who it was.”

The team performed in front of several adjudicators and was judged on elements such as: the creativity of the team’s story, the theatrical presentation and how well the students represented

their time period, which in Carihi’s case was PreFrench Revolution.

Twenty-five per cent of Carihi’s score came from participating in an “instant challenge,” where teams were given a task and a limited time to complete it.

“The challenge really made the team focus on problem solving, working as a team and being able to manage a project together,” said Diesch.

“They all took on different roles. Different students were in charge of props, costumes and script writing.”

Diesch said his role as teacher sponsor in the actual creation of the play was minimal.

“They were really able to delegate themselves.”

Racing to Zero to be showcased at Earth Week Film Fest NIGEL NEUFELD CARIHI MIRROR

As populations grow, it seems inevitable for the amount of waste produced to do anything but get larger as well.

However, San Fransisco is attempting to make its waste do the opposite.

On April 21, the Campbell River Youth Action Committee will be hosting this year’s annual Earth Week Film Festival.

Taking the spotlight will be the film Racing to Zero.

In 2013, the city of San Fransisco took a pledge to achieve zero

waste by 2020. Racing to Zero gives us a look at what it takes to attempt to reach for a goal that almost seems unattainable in today’s society.

The Campbellton Neighbourhood Association’s short film documenting the new Campbellton Community Garden will also be playing.

This will give a snapshot of efforts taking place in our own city and bring the importance of protecting the environment back home.

The Earth Week Film Fest is on April 21 and is taking place at the Tidemark Theatre.

The doors open at

6:30 p.m. and the event begins at 7 p.m.

Admission is by donation and the funds received will go towards an Environmental Bursary presented to graduating students looking to get into an environmentally conscious area of study.

The Youth Action Committee is excited about the possibilities for this year’s Earth Week Film Fest.

If you’re at all interested, consider dropping in as it’s an inexpensive night out which will present important issues and create interesting conversations both at the event and afterwards.

Go green for 2016 — use reusable shopping bags SANDRINE DANIELS SPECIAL TO THE MIRROR

Are you up for a challenge?

In this article, let me tell you about the effect one small decision can make when shopping, by taking reusable bags instead of plastic and paper.

I will also explain the action project I have been doing in Campbell River during the last month and its success.

Last, but certainly not least, I would like to thank some people who made it happen.

Enjoy!

To start off, why should you switch to using reusable bags when shopping?

Plastic bags take a toll on our environm e nt . E n ormous amounts of plastic bags are used and produced each day.

The carbon emissions coming from the factories create pollution, thus causing the earth to heat up; global warming.

When plastic bags are put in the landfill or are littered, they break down very slowly or maybe not at all.

As the plastic bags break down, animals mistake them for food.

Once they are in tiny pl a st i c f r a g m e nt s , smaller creatures eat the pieces as food as well.

“

This results in animals suffering and dying young, all because of what human beings do for convenience.

Use reusable bags!!!!

Be environmentally friendly. Make good choices when it comes to keeping a healthy, happy and safe environment.

When shopping, you can make an astonishing, amazing and unbelievable difference by simply using and reusing reusable bags!!!

Paper bags are biode-

for one month. I also explained the negative effects of plastic and paper bags. I then delivered these to the stores.

In the meantime, I created large posters to hang up in the stores that signed on. The posters read: “Go Green for 2016. Bring your re-usable bags and take paper over plastic.”

I went back to the stores a week later to see if they were interested and three stores were on board.

I also got a stamp ma d e t hat said GO G R E E N THEY SAID IT: “A huge 2016 and I thanks to Quality Foods, stamped for Save-On-Foods and one month, e ach store Thrifty Foods for their roughly 500 generosity, willingness paper bags and kindness.

FUNERAL HOMES

Harry Curtis Harry was born December 17th, 1944 in Truro, Nova Scotia and passed away March 30th, 2016 in Campbell River, BC following a courageous battle with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis. Predeceased by his parents Harvey & Margaret Curtis (nee Sweet), sister Joan Jowsey (Art), and brother George.

Harry is survived by his loving wife and partner Laurie, his three daughters Loretta Lynn Curtis, Theresa Brydon, and Shelly Curtis-Wake (Jason); his grandchildren Ron, Greg, Andrew & Jessie; and his little furry friend Abby.

When Harry moved to Campbell River in 1965 he worked in the forest industry. In 1977 he moved to Gold River to work at the Pulp mill “for a couple of years”. He fell in love with the little town and worked in the Mill until it closed in 1998. When the Mill shut Harry went back to school, at age 55, to become a Barber and in 2000 opened Harry’s Barber shop. In 2005 he moved back to Campbell River, where he retired.

Harry loved the communities that he lived in, and was always ready to lend a hand. Belonging to service groups, he was a member of the 50th Parallel Radio Club, Gold River Lions Club and in his later years he was a Mason and a Shriner.

We’re grateful for the care Harry received from Doctor’s Meckin, Baerg, and Blair, the Home and Community Care Nurses and the Community Health Workers. Special thanks to Shelly Curtis-Wake and Kerry Hammell for their unconditional love and support, especially in the difficult days.

A celebration of Harry’s life will be held on Saturday, April 23rd at 2 pm in the Masonic Lodge, 2905 Island Hwy. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to “Gizeh Shrine Children’s Charities” c/o Gizeh Shrine Centre, 3550 Wayburne Drive Burnaby, BC, V5K 3K9 or other charity of your choice would be appreciated by the family.

TOM CRAIG It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Tom Craig of Campbell River on April 5, 2016. He is predeceased by his mother and father, his son Colin and his life partner Sandra Barker.

Tom is survived by his daughter Cindy (Joe), sister Barbara (Gordon), nephews Gordon, Rory, Gary and niece Debbie.

Tom was an “old school” kind of guy; hardworking, fun-loving and had a great sense of humour. He was very talented at whatever he put his mind to. He leaves behind numerous family and friends who loved him very much.

There will be a small gathering of family and friends at a later date. The family would like to extend a special thank-you to daughter-in-law Sandy and her family for their compassion and care over the past several months.

For those who love, time is not. Missing you today and always.

Balance: the environmental malaise of our time I

FRIDAY, APRIL 15, 15, 2016 2016 || CAMPBELL CAMPBELL RIVER RIVER MIRROR MIRROR || 81 81

www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com

f we learned from experience, we would soon understand that simple prevention is preferable to a complexity of cures, and that a strategy of ordinary care and maintenance is always easier than repairing what is broken by neglect or abuse. Watchful caution and measured avoidance are better strategies than trying to fix situations that have degraded beyond control.

Attend to the little things and the big things will attend to themselves. The time to repair things is at

the very beginning of trouble, even before a problem is evident.

These insights espouse balance above imbalance and the ordinary above the extraordinary.

Order is preferable to disorder and harmony is better than discord.

Efficiency is valued over waste. As a way of thinking, sensing and being in the world and society, the unfolding of circumstances invites us to accept that the ground and reference of our human condition is the ordinary — astutely noting that when we comply with the natural

course of things, our lives are contented and fulfilling; when we disturb the natural course of things, we invite imbalance and trouble.

Fundamental to this understanding is the notion that we and nature are expressions of each other, different facets of the same process. It follows, therefore, that our destiny is closely linked to nature’s. When we perceive nature in distress, we can expect

to find the same in ourselves. As mirror images of each other, we can be assured that when something is amiss in ourselves, it will manifest as a disturbance in nature. To fix nature, we simply stop disturbing it and let it return to its own rich and dynamic balance; to fix ourselves, we do the same. Then we both benefit. Which brings us to the environmental malaise of our time.

Nature is out of bal-

ance with itself because we are out of balance with ourselves. As instruments of craving and consumption, we have become more like cogs in the machinery of economics and finance than social and community beings living and celebrating our humanness and togetherness. We have been induced to want more than we need and to have more than we can use — “stuffed to death and starved to death,” as essayist Randal Jarrell put it in his essay, Sad Heart at the Supermarket. Or, as the old Tao-

ist sages wisely noted, “Those who know when enough is enough will always have enough.”

Our precious humanity, the special ingredient that identifies us, has become an exploitable commodity in a milieu of materialism.

Because we have lost the sense of ourselves, so too have we lost our harmonious relationship with nature. We can’t avoid environmental trouble if we don’t come to peace with ourselves.

And we can’t take the necessary environmental precautions to avoid sinking into even more

trouble if our perception and judgment are overruled by superfluous needs.

We prevent environmental damage by avoiding unnecessary risks. If we are not centred and balanced as individuals and a society, then we can’t gauge those risks. The unavoidable logic here is that we create our own well-being by avoiding trouble. The natural world that contains us is generous and bountiful if we respect its inherent order; it is rich and abundant if we move in compliance with it.

With the district deciding to close Discovery Passage and Oyster River Elementary schools at the end of this school year, work needs to begin on transitioning the students from those facilities to their new ones at Ripple Rock and Ocean Grove, Assistant Superintendent Nevenka Fair told the Board of Education Tuesday night.

To that end, each s cho ol communit y slated for closure has had a Transition Comm itt e e for m e d t o address student and family transition issues to make their arrival and integration at their new facilities as seamless as possible.

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR FIRST ISSUE 1971

PROUDLY SERVING OUR COMMUNITY FOR OVER 40 YEARS

Tom Longridge will be chairing the committee for the Oyster River/ Ocean Grove committee and Fair herself will chair the Discovery Passage/Ripple Rock committee.

The first priority for each committee, Fair said, “is about listening to parents’ concerns and students’ concerns around the academic, social and emotional pieces and cultural components,” of making the transition to the new schools.

Fair says the transition is framed much like a reconfiguration of grades, which they have gone through in the past, so they are using a similar approach.

There are some things they have already started examining in terms of the transition, Fair says, because some aspects will take longer to iron out than others — such as transportation issues, support services, library resources and staffing implications — but most of the work and the order in which it will happen, “will be directed by what happens out of the transition committees,” once they start to meet, Fair said.

The Board of Education has asked Fair to continue to update them on the progress of these committees throughout the process.

Furnishing Island homes for nearly 30 years ALISTAIR TAYLOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

S

ukhi Manhas has been selling furniture in Campbell River since 1987 when he moved here to start his own business.

Along the way, the owner of Island Home Furniture has seen the city grow and the economy fluctuate up and down and customers’ needs change accordingly.

But despite that, there is still one thing that doesn’t change: people still have to have couches, chairs, mattresses and appliances for their homes.

“But people still buy furniture,” Sukhi Manhas says. “That’s the one thing, 35 years, (When) people want furniture, they buy.”

In many ways the furniture business is always changing, with new technology being incorporated, new materials being used and new customer preferences driving sales.

People even shop differently now. With the advent of the Internet, people come into the store better prepared and are more knowledgeable about the business and its products.

“More people shop online now,” Manhas says. “They know you before they come to the stores, now. They check you out and then they come to the store and they know what kind of store you are.”

But, despite that, when they come into Island Home Furniture’s location on the Island Highway at Maple Street at the entrance to Campbellton, they’re still looking for essentially the same thing.

“People still like to deal with good service and good sales people and the right information, not wrong information,” Manhas says.

“Those things never change.”

Manhas finds that people still appreciate a business that treats them right, whether it’s 1987 or 2016. And that’s what his business has tried to deliver since he first started.

Manhas was working in a furniture store in Nanaimo when he decided he wanted to be an independent entrepreneur and moved to Campbell River to open his own furniture store.

The reason for choosing Campbell River was straightforward enough.

“We were told that they needed a furniture store,” Manhas says.

It was the right move for Manhas and his wife Sarb who love the community they have lived in for 29 years.

“It is a beautiful community,” Manhas says.

“Campbell River is the best place to raise kids.”

The Manhases have raised four kids here.

“They are all grown up and they are successful,” Manhas says.

In fact, Manhas’ daughter Mindy has come back to the town to take over the furniture business from her parents.

“I am trying to slow down and pass on the torch,” Manhas says.

One thing that Manhas will be passing on will be the same lessons he has learned over the years that have led him to being successful. Those lessons apply today as much as they did when he started.

“Same thing that we did 30 years ago, same

Island Home Furniture’s Sukhi Manhas (centre), flanked by his wife Sarb (right) and daughter Mindy, has seen many changes in Campbell River and the furniture business since opening in 1987.

thing we do today,” Manhas says.

Manhas believes strongly in giving back to the community. He has been involved in Rotary for years and Island Home Furniture has sponsored sports teams, a race car, has been involved in supporting cancer fundraising, raising money for the SPCA, the Hospice Society and many other community charities.

“We like to give back to the community and the community is really, really good to us over the years,” Manhas says.

“To stay that long in business, we give proper, fair prices and very, very good service after the sales.”

He pays tribute to his staff in helping support that kind of business philosophy. They have eight employees who have been with them

more than 10 years.

“I believe in: if you don’t give back to the community, you are not going to be successful, as a human being.”

Manhas says they have made a good living, thanks to the community, so it’s important to give back and provide good service.

And it seems to be a successful philosophy because even with all the competition, including the Internet, Island Home Furniture is still growing. Besides the Campbell River location, they’ve operated a Courtenay outlet for 25 years. Prior to their current location, Manhas was located on Homewood in a building he owned in which longtime residents will know as “the old Canadian Tire store.”

Manhas has seen the community grow from

the time when it essentially ended at Robron Road. It has expanded greatly since then. And with that growth has come the demand for more furniture.

Things have changed economically but the demand for furniture is always there, good times or bad.

Manhas notes that the motivation for buying furniture changes with a recession.

In good times, people buy new furniture but in times of recession, people buy to replace what is broken. But either way, people still need furniture.

One thing that is true of today’s tougher times, Manhas points out, is that people want to put their money into quality products.

“People don’t want to buy cheap furniture.

They want good furni-

ture.”

And people have more choices these days and technology is always changing in the furniture market. Appliances are not the same as what they used to be. Fridges are almost like computers these days.

Styles change too.

People used to like more colours in their appliances – you used to be able to find goldcoloured fridges – but now it seems to be just black and white and metal. Technology even affects mattresses with the availability of modern foams and other advanced materials.

And with couches and chairs, leather is very popular.

Staying on top of all the trends is not as easy as you might think. Manhas goes to furniture shows in the U.S. two or three times

a year to acquire stock and see what’s available.

But going to furniture shows is not a vacation.

“When you go to a show you really have to work really hard,” he says.

You have thousands of square feet of exhibition space to explore.

“It’s not a holiday,” he says. “It’s more work than at home. We get up at seven o’clock in the morning and get back at six o’clock in the evening.”

But all the hard work is driven by a straightforward philosophy that Manhas keeps in mind all the time.

“We believe in community. Get involved in the community, help as much as you can and you will do good in business.”

niques, they can see how their body achieves a more relaxed state.

Counsellors can help individuals find the specific techniques that work best for them.

Positive thinking, relaxation exercises, visualization, breathing techniques, and specialized computer games are some ways that individuals reduce stress and bring the body back to a relaxed state.

Janet Carmichael, Executive Director, explained that there are a wide variety of people that access trauma and abuse counselling services who could benefit from biofeedback technology.

“Trauma is experienced by different people in different ways,” Carmichael said. “We see people who have experienced situations that are overwhelming or life altering such as a medical diagnosis or a car, work place or

recreational accident.

We also see people who have been assaulted, have experienced war or natural disasters, and people who were neglected or abused as children or witnessed violence. These individuals can have nervous systems that can become stuck in a state of fight, flight or freeze.”

Research has found that living in a high stress state can create a variety of problems including emotional reactivity, problems sleeping, hyper-vigilance, anxiety attacks, or difficulties with relationships.

“A high stress state helps to ensure our safety when there is a serious threat,” explains Registered Clinical Counsellor, Kate Pinsonneault. “It changes our body chemistry and shuts down certain biological and cognitive functions to maximize our chances of survival.

But when the threat has passed, we need to come back to a relaxed state in order for our body, brain, hormones and emotions to function optimally.”

Learning to regulate the body’s response to stressful situations and then being able to relax afterwards is key for people who have experienced trauma.

Celia Laval, a registered clinical counsellor, researched several biofeedback options before choosing the EmWave2.

HeartMath, the company that developed the EmWave2, found that using this heart-centred biofeedback technology not only helps people experiencing trauma improve sleep, digestive function and strengthen the cardiovascular system, but also brings positive feelings and emotional stability that helps improve relationships, self-esteem and social confidence.
