When four-year-old Brooklyn O’Handley learned that kids in Fort McMurray had lost their toys in the fire, she started crying. Once she had her tears under control, she decided to help.

Last Saturday and Sunday she sat on her driveway selling lemonade and cookies all afternoon.

“For a lemonade stand I’m very surprised at how good she did,” said proud mom Sasha with a laugh.

“My lemonade stands were never like that.”

With a little bit of advertising on social media from mom, and a promise to donate all of the proceeds to the fire victims, Brooklyn sold enough lemonade and cookies to bring in just over $100.

So far Brooklyn is the youngest fundraiser the Mirror has come across but she is not the only Campbell Riverite dedicated to the cause Continued on Pg. 2

of helping residents of the northern Alberta city who fled the huge forest fire that burned parts of the city to the ground and displaced more than 80,000 people.

Campbell River has a connection with the city either through relatives and former neighbours who left this community to find work after the closure of the Elk Falls pulp mill or who work there but maintain their homes here.

Kyla May, a local hairstylist, is cutting hair. She

wants to direct all of the proceeds towards the rebuilding of the treatment and detox centre in Fort McMurrary that her sister, who is a resident of the now evacuated city, said burned to the ground. May said she thinks centres like this will become even more important as people deal with the stress of rebuilding the city.

For other locals, raising money isn’t enough.

Adam Sorenson packed up his holiday trailer and left for northern Alberta on Tuesday

morning. He said he had a garage full of donated items.

Sorenson’s brother, sister-in-law and nephews live in Fort McMurray. Since being evacuated, they met a family whose house has burned down. The family will be using Sorenson’s holiday trailer for the time being.

Sorenson has found support everywhere he turns. Not only is BC Ferries giving him a free pass to the mainland, they have also collected gift cards from their staff that they are sending

along with him. Another person donated a Petro Canada card to help cover gas expenses for the trip.

Sorenson is planning on taking the donations to the towns north of Edmonton where evacuees are waiting to hear when they can return to the city.

He is also taking some of the goods collected by the team at Bill Howich Chrysler. In another week or so the dealership is loading a semitrailer, donated by Geoff and Shannon from Quality Designs in Campbell River and Gene from Orlicks Inc. in Calgary, and sending the rest of the donations they collect to Alberta.

“We just started collecting stuff on Friday and it’s just overwhelming the response we have seen from the community,” said Alex Roelants, the receptionist at Bill Howich Chrysler. “It’s an Alberta thing but it’s also a Campbell River thing because so many people work out there.”

The dealership has a truck parked in front of Superstore where shoppers can donate groceries. As of Monday, Roelants said they don’t know exactly where they are going to send the donations, but they are going

to contact emergency centres and foodbanks to make a plan before they send the driver out.

It’s not just individuals who are spearheading fundraising efforts.

Barb Izard, a teacher at Timberline Secondary, is getting the whole school district on board.

The fundraiser officially started on Monday and she is expecting the classes to get creative.

“One Grade 9 student walked in with $40,” she said. “Every one of these students is affected. They either know someone or they are personally affected.”

Meanwhile, White Spot is donating $2 from every burger platter or combo sale today to the Canadian Red Cross.

Yet other businesses are filling more specific needs. For residents or employees who may have left behind their glasses or contacts in Fort McMurray, FYidoctors is offering a free pair of prescription glasses, a small supply of contacts and a free prescription check if needed.

The Mirror’s own parent company, BlackPress has a crowd funding page where readers can donate to the Red Cross.

Time to start forking out 2.45% more in taxes CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

It’s official.

Residential property taxes will be going up by 2.45 per cent this year after council gave final approval to its tax rate bylaw at Monday’s council meeting.

“These tax rates reflect council’s direction made at the conclusion of the financial plan deliberations, and are in line with council tax policy, included as part of the city’s 10-year Financial Plan,” wrote Dennis Brodie, the city’s finance operations supervisor, in a report to council.

The residential increase translates to an extra $37 in property taxes for the average assessed Campbell River home.

Council arrived at that figure by dipping into the city’s reserve account to reduce what was a 2.95 per cent increase after council had considered its capital plan, service level change requests, reserves, and base budget.

It was a move similar to what transpired during 2015 budget planning when council took $200,000 out of the city’s 2014 general operating surplus to get last year’s tax increase down to 1.69 per cent.

This year’s budget includes $125,000 for downtown revitalization design plans; $7,500 for Campbellton planning projects; an additional $10,000 for the design of the city’s 3.5 acre waterfront property near Discovery Harbour; $10,000 for downtown parking

lot maintenance; $15,000 for increased downtown security; $35,000 for increased video surveillance downtown and $26,303 for major crime and general investigation support.

Mayor Andy Adams said during December’s financial planning that he was pleased with the budget council arrived at and hoped the public would feel the same.

“We hope with all the initiatives, in particular the SLCRs (service level change requests) for public safety and enhancements, that they are appreciated by the community,” Adams said.

“I think we’ve developed a budget that is palatable and provides a tremendous amount of capital projects which the community has expressed a desire that we do.”

In addition to city property taxes, the tax rate bylaw also outlines the amount of taxes to be collected by the city on behalf of other agencies.

The city will be collecting $5.48 million in taxes for the Strathcona Regional District, a 37.56 per cent tax increase over 2015 and $4.25 million on behalf of the Regional Hospital, a 0.40 per cent increase.

The city is also collecting $494,635 in taxes on behalf of the Regional Solid Waste service (a 183.85 per cent increase) and $1.38 million for the Regional Library, which equates to a 4.48 per cent increase.

Taxes are also going up for the Utilities class, by 20 per cent, and for the

Mirror staffer receives industry award

C

ampbell River Mirror graphic designer Michelle Hueller received a Silver Quill Award at the Ma Murray Awards in Richmond, B.C. on Saturday.

The Silver Quill Award recognizes service of 25 years or more.

The purpose of the honour is to pay tribute to those who have served Canada’s newspaper industry regardless of position or title for a minimum 25 years.

Hueller began her career in the newspaper industry in 1990 with the Smithers Interior News. During her tenure with The News, she completed a five year apprenticeship as a compositor. She was involved in all aspects of newspaper production.

During the “cut and paste” days, Hueller was responsible for the design and layout of advertisements, darkroom work (from rolling and developing film to photo mechanical transfers) as well as the physical task of cutting and flowing editorial stories and photos.

In 1996 Hueller transferred to the Parksville/

Qualicum Beach News where she spent nine years. She began with ad design and copy paste up and as technology moved forward, her skills as a graphic designer continued to strengthen. In 2004 she won a Black Press award for Ad Design and Con-

cept.

During 2005, Hueller transferred to Campbell River where she joined the Mirror staff.

During her time in Campbell River, she had the opportunity to work within her community. In 2008, she was a finalist in the logo

design contest for the Strathcona Regional District. In 2010, she worked with the John Howard Society starting their “Imagine Campbell River” project (now called R Life). The program revolved around creating preventative strategies for substance misuse and to promote mental health. She was responsible for all of the initial branding (logo, letterheads, brochures and posters). Also in 2010, she worked with the RCMP D.A.R.E. program to design posters for an anti-drug campaign.

In 2015, she won a CCNA Best Ideas Award for Promotional Campaign and recently, she won silver at the 2016 Ma Murray Newspaper Awards for Best Special Section (Remembrance Day). n Meanwhile, at the Ma Murray Awards, the Campbell River Mirror won two Silver Awards, one for General Excellence and one for Special Section Award (for our Remembrance Day section) and third place in the Classified Award for our classified ad section.

The horrific firestorm tearing through Fort McMurray is another wakeup call and warning to every city and town in Canada.

Fire can strike at any time and ravage lives and property on an incalculable scale.

It’s not the first time it’s happened and it won’t be the last. What matters, is not so much the conditions that bred these raging monsters, as the response to them.

Following the Kelowna wildfire in 2003 in which 239 homes were lost and 27,000 people evacuated, (compared to 1,600 buildings in Fort McMurray, and 90,000 evacuated) and the report, Firestorm 2003, the B.C. government pushed cities to develop their own wildfire protection plans, a set of steps and develWe say: Every opment guidelines, such city needs to as ensuring fire breaks review its wildfire etc., that could slow or even stop a fire from racprotection plans ing unimpeded through a city.

Campbell River does have its own wildfire protection plan, which identifies the McIvor Lake area as a high risk location for interface fires.

Four Campbell River firefighters were also trained a couple of years ago as level 1 Wildland Firefighter instructors.

Training focused on the use of pumps, hoses and powerful sprinklers to protect structures located close to forests, such as near McIvor Lake.

Other cities in B.C., Kelowna notably, have followed suit and adopted wildfire protection plans and if they haven’t, they should do so quickly.

Important to keep in mind, is that a wildfire in the Interior or in the forests of northern Alberta could pale in comparison to a coastal wildfire.

If conditions became dry enough, wildfires on the West Coast, with its huge underbrush fuel load and towering cedars and firs, would be catastrophic.

Every city, Campbell River particularly, now needs to revisit its wildfire protection plans and strengthen and update as required, while the memories of Alberta’s disaster are still vivid.

at street height from 20th Avenue to just downstream from Maple St., then they continue all the way down to the old log dump at a lower height. This section of rip rap is at a lower level for a very practical, beneficial reason; that is, it forms a “riparian bench” that allows nutrients and soil washed down from the Quinsam River to be trapped when the tide recedes thus allowing natural river bank intertidal vegetation to be established.

If this rip-rap wasn’t here we would

In their infinite wisdom, the engineers that designed the river bank rip-rap repair missed one very key element called geo-textile. Had this been considered here and at the foreshore, the process of infiltration could have been mitigated. Geo-textile allows water to seep through as the tide floods and when it recedes

I don’t know anything about the decision making processes of first responders. I don’t know much about international relations.

But the people who are making these decisions do.

As a journalist it is my job to question those decisions, to ask why and share that explanation with you. All I ask is that you, the consumers of content, take the time to think critically about what you read and form an enlightened opinion before you argue passionately for or against a decision.

You just might not have the whole story, and the whole story can change everything.

the fines are trapped behind it thus preventing continual erosion.

At the foreshore another oversight not providing geo-textile in design of the new “natural slope” beach will result in the same process of infiltrating water drawing fine soil back out as the tide recedes. Just to close... the former natural foreshore prior to infilling of that shoreline was not the sandy expanse we usually associate with the word “beach.” It was semi-estuarine habitat .

Western internal review reveals ‘dysfunction’ Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR

Members of a Western Forest Products advisory group believe their meetings are dysfunctional and a waste of time, according to an internal review conducted by the forestry company.

Amy Spencer, director of communications and government relations for Western Forest Products, said a review of the Mid Island Forestr y Lands Advisory Group revealed a degree of dissatisfaction with how meetings are conducted.

“We did advise members of MIFLAG privately and overall they felt there was dysfunction and that meetings were not a good use of their time,” Spencer said.

In response, Spencer said Western has revised its terms of reference.

Key to those changes is a new code of conduct to ensure meetings are productive.

The code dictates that: discussions will focus on the issues and the facts; the diverse perspective of each member will be respected; use of denigrating or derogatory language or behaviour will not be tolerated; discussions are kept brief and to topic with no sidebar discussions; disagreements will not

building techniques where consensus is deemed to be ‘no strong opposition.”

Whalley said MIFLAG failed to record a sub-committee’s recommendation that went against allowing Western to increase herbicide use three times over.

Whalley said the group’s actions led him to question the audit during the Sept. 22 meeting and the foresters grew angry and told him to leave. Following that meeting, Jeff Ternan, operations manager for Western, wrote to the Strathcona Regional District relaying that “in light of recent events, Gerald Whalley is no longer welcome to participate in, or attend any further MIFLAG meetings or functions.”

The subsequent investigation by SAI found that all parties of MIFLAG should have been consulted on Whalley’s removal.

The investigation did not, however, find any evidence to corroborate Whalley’s allegation that Western manipulates the minutes of the MIFLAG meetings to suit its own needs.

But Whalley said the investigation only took into account the existing minutes of the MIFLAG meetings and only involved interviews with himself and two West-

be made personal; and members must keep an open mind with positive feedback.

The internal review and resulting changes to the terms of reference stem from an investigation conducted

by SAI Global that was triggered by Strathcona Regional District Director Gerald Whalley appealing Western’s clean audit findings.

Whalley launched the appeal following his eviction from a Sept. 22 meeting of MIFLAG – a group that, as part of Western’s certification, advises the company on sustainable forest management practises and includes representatives from the regional district, the City of Campbell River, School District 72, Western Forest Products, and other stakeholders.

Whalle y said he angered the foresters by appealing the audit after an incident at a previous meeting, on July 28.

Whalley said a motion to allow Western to increase its allowable use of herbicides in the Sayward Valley by three times was declared carried following a vote of six in favour and four opposed.

Whalley contests that it should have failed according to MIFLAG’s original terms of reference that dictate that, “decisions which must be made by MIFLAG are done by consensus

ern Forest Products employees. The report from SAI Global says the investigation consisted of a review of MIFLAG’s terms of reference, minutes from MIFLAG meetings in 2014 and 2015, version four of a strategic management plan, 2013 and 2014 indicator (target) reports, and MIFLAG’s 2014 annual report.

“The findings are as disappointing as they were predictable,” Whalley said following the release of SAI’s report in March. “The investigator’s position was that if it’s not in the minutes, it didn’t happen.”

Whalley has since appealed the investigation.

Spencer, meanwhile, said Western found value in SAI’s investigation and the company has decided to implement all eight of the recommendations SAI put forward in its report.

Those recommendations include completing minutes from the July and September 2015 MIFLAG meetings, reviewing the public participation requirements of MIFLAG, a code of ethics for members, and having the herbicide subcommittee report its recommendations in a timely manner.

Spencer said MIFLAG intends to resume its meetings as soon as Western gets agreement from all members on

the revised terms of reference which were presented to the Strathcona Regional District board during an in-camera meeting April 28.

Spencer said the regional district will still have a place at the MIFLAG table and

that it will be up to its board of directors to decide who will sit on MIFLAG. The regional district board voted at its April 28 meeting to defer the matter of future participation in MIFLAG until a future board meeting.

Council continues with bylaw amendment banning marijuana dispensaries KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

City council is going ahead with making medical marijuana dispensaries illegal in Campbell River but it may still leave the door open to exceptions.

A bylaw amendment prohibiting all marijuana operations – including dispensaries – unless legally permitted through Health Canada, was given third reading by council at its Monday meeting. That puts the bylaw just one step away from adoption which could happen in as soon as two weeks.

Kevin Brooks, the city’s development services super-

visor, confirmed Monday that the bylaw amendment was recommended to city staff by local RCMP. Coun. Michele Babchuk asked Brooks whether giving third reading to the amendment would close the door completely on medical marijuana dispensaries or if other options could still be pursued.

“Are we losing the opportunity to come up with options to create a Campbell River solution?” Babchuk asked. “I understand the legislation is not there, we’re dealing with the legalities of it.”

Brooks said that council can still re-open discussions around medical marijuana use and that, in fact, those

discussions will come up again as the federal government has announced it will be moving to legalize marijuana use next year.

“The bylaw effectively adds a definition to the bylaw and prohibits that use within our community. It does not preclude use from other considerations in enabling some of this through controls like temporary use permits or something of that nature,” Brooks said.

Coun. Charlie Cornfield pointed out that the bylaw does in fact read, ‘Marijuana operations are prohibited unless expressly permitted by this bylaw.’

He said that means it allows

council, at any time, to take another look at the bylaw.

Coun. Larry Samson asked city staff to look into the possibility of issuing temporary use permits for dispensaries and to report back to council

by August.

“Not saying we’re going to go this way but get a report back from staff and see where it goes,” Samson said.

With a temporary use permit, an applicant – in this case a dispensary operator – can apply to the city to consider a property use that’s not permitted in the city’s zoning bylaw. Each application would be evaluated individually by city staff through a legislative process and then

passed on to council for final approval.

Brooks, in a report to council prior to Monday’s meeting, did caution council that the RCMP does not support the city pursuing temporary use permits or zoning bylaw amendments to permit dispensaries until federal legislation changes.

“In some communities this enforcement has led to injunctive action resulting in increased legal costs, and the city may be placed in a challenging legal situation if it chooses to permit these uses under a TUP (temporary use permit) or zoning bylaw amendment,” Brooks wrote in the report. “It should be

noted that neither of these options would legalize the sale of marijuana, and the RCMP would maintain the jurisdiction and the latitude to follow-up with enforcement to shut down these operations at their discretion until such time the Federal Criminal Law is changed.”

Council was prompted by the RCMP to address the issue of medical marijuana dispensaries after two popped up in the city in early April.

Operating in the absence of any federal legislation, the dispensaries caught the eye of local RCMP who raided both Trees and WeeMedical dispensaries last month.

LOCAL Experts

There are very few reasons why term life insurance should be replaced prior to the renewal date, and, unfortunately, some advisors replace contracts frequently just to generate income rather than to satisfy an actual client need. If you have quit smoking, left Darlene Garat a high risk job, or your health has Financial Advisor improved, your advisor may be able to apply to have these changes made to your existing insurance contract, resulting in a lower premium – thus no need for a new contract.

However, if your needs have changed so you require more insurance, or a different type of coverage, a new policy may be needed. Early replacement may also be warranted if you are nearing an age where premiums can jump dramatically, you need longer term coverage and your policy cannot be converted to a longer term (some can be with no medical underwriting), or rates have dropped significantly, making replacement good for your cash flow. Each situation is different so make sure there is a good reason for replacing the policy you already have.

Upcoming workshop to certify more on-set workers to meet demand MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Landing a series like Alone on History Channel is a great boon for a region like ours in terms of driving more film projects this way, according to Vancouver Island North (INFilm) commissioner Joan Miller, but when those productions come, the region also needs to have people who can work on them.

To that end, INFilm has set up a two-day Motion Picture Orientation Ticket course this coming weekend (May 14 and 15) to give people the skills they need to be on set.

The course costs $175 and is being put on in Parksville, but Miller says for those thinking of trying to get work in the industry,

the hour drive and expense of the course is well worth it, as the certification is a requirement to work on a many production sets, although she’s careful to point out that completion of the course, like any other certification, doesn’t guarantee employment.

It will, however, “offer insight into how the industry works, encourage self-awareness for suitability, outline the screening process for entry level positions and provide the functional skills necessary for finding employment in the film and new media industries,” Miller says. “Participants will receive information on the structure of the industry and the diverse jobs within it, the stages of production, training and union certification, set terminology, along with basic

safety, code of conduct and behaviour expectations on set.”

And while INFilm is doing its part to have people ready to work on set should projects come north, the provincial government has been working with industry to rejig the provincial film tax credit system.

This week it was announced that both the production services tax credit rate and the digital animation or visual effects tax credit rate will be lowered.

The government announced in February that it would be forming an industry-government working group to address the rising cost of the province’s production tax credit, which was forecasted to cost taxpayers nearly $500 million in 2015-16. That working group has

come together and has come up with a system that will, theoretically, work for all sides.

“We are proud of the successes we’ve seen in this industry,” says B.C. Minister of Finance Michael de Jong, “but we also need to safeguard the interests of B.C. taxpayers, who ultimately pay for subsidies, and ensure there is equity with other industries that drive B.C.’s economy.”

Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training Shirley Bond says she’s happy the industry was involved in the discussions, rather than just having changes imposed on them.

“By working together,” Bond says, “we found a solution that protects jobs for the talented and skilled individuals working in this indus-

try, preserves B.C.’s reputation as a globally competitive filming location and ensures government support for the industry is sustainable for taxpayers.”

The basic production services tax credit rate was lowered to 28 per cent from 33 per cent and the digital animation or visual effects tax credit rate was lowered to 16 per cent from 17.5 per cent.

Film investments already planned in B.C. will fall under the old tax credit system if principal photography begins prior to Oct. 1.

What is Cal-Mag’s Key Role in the Garden ?

Osteoporosis is a condition which can lead to increased bone fragility and risk of fracture.

• Get regular exercise, such as walking, to help strengthen your bones. Exercising at least 3 times a week is recommended.

• Limit your alcohol and caffeine Victor Choo intake since they affect the bone Pharmacist/Owner formation.

• Smoking cessation is strongly recommended as well.

• Make sure you get enough calcium and Vitamin D every day since they play an important role in strengthening the bones.

Calcium is readily available in your diet, ask your pharmacist for the kinds of foods that are rich in calcium.

• If you don’t get enough calcium and Vitamin D in your diet, supplements are available, come visit us at Peoples Drug Mart and our pharmacists will be glad to recommend the best supplements for you.

Calcium Deficiencies Calcium deficiency symptoms appear Christa Fernau initially as generally stunted plant growth . Cupping of mature leaves is a tell tale sign of a calcium deficiency. Classic symptoms of a calcium deficiency include blossom-end rot of tomato (death of the end part of the fruits), tip burn of lettuce, blackheart of celery and death of the growing regions in many plants.

Magnesium Deficiencies Deficiencies typically occur with the middle or lower leaves.The most common symptoms are interveinal chlorosis or yellowing between leaf veins, which stay green, giving a marbled appearance.

Due to the complicated tax regulations governing Tax Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs), you should always Darlene & Peter Garat have your Financial Advisor transfer the assets behind the scenes. This simply means the paperwork completed allows the money to move institution to institution. Transferring this way avoids risks of over contribution fines and penalties.

Greg was predeceased by his parents George S. Blaney and Mary V. Blaney (nee Beckie) of Ottawa, Ontario, and his spouse Michelle Benjamin.

He graduated from the University of Ottawa with a Doctorate of Medicine in 1974, and Osteopathy from the University of Michigan in 1990. He also trained extensively in Acupuncture and Homeopathy.

Greg was a medical doctor, the owner and director of the Stillpoint Center for the Healing Arts, specializing in the treatment of pain and chronic infection, with a focus on osteopathy, Lyme disease and alternative healthcare. He was a trailblazer in his field, a champion of the use of the Marshall Protocol, and a doctor of last resort for many.

He was dynamic, charming and engaging. You couldn’t help but be pulled in. He was caring and compassionate, dedicating his life to the care of others. He enjoyed biodynamic gardening, golf, cooking, animals and travel. Well respected in his personal and professional life, loved by many. He will be missed dearly.

Flowers gratefully declined. Donations can be made in honour of Greg to the Autoimmunity Research Foundation (autoimmunityresearch.org) and International Lyme & Associated Diseases Society (ilads.org).

TimberWest Forest Corp., North Island Operation, within the Campbell River and North Island Central Coast Forest Districts gives notice and invites written comment on a proposed amendment to the approved Johnstone Straits Forest Stewardship Plan (FSP). The FSP covers the following geographic areas: East and West Cracroft Island, East and West Thurlow Island, Sonora Island, Egerton, Hardwicke Island, McLeod Bay, Brooks Bay, Knox Bay, Jackson Bay, and Call Inlet.

Forester

This amendment is proposed in order to incorporate the Great Bear Rainforest Order (GBRO), dated January 28, 2016, a higher level plan that contains elements of ecosystem based management.

The FSP shows the location of Forest Development Units and provides the results and strategies that the FSP holder will follow in relation to the GBRO.

TimberWest is Western Canada’s largest private managed forest land owner with 325,400 hectares /804,200 acres on Vancouver Island. The Company also owns renewable Crown harvest rights to 690,000 m3 per year. TimberWest runs fully contracted harvesting operations and leads the coastal industry in the growing and harvesting of second-growth timber. The Company is a leader in sustainable forest management and is committed to Vancouver Island communities.

The amended FSP, when approved, will form the basis for future development of roads and cutblocks, leading to the issuance of cutting permits, which provide authority to harvest. The FSP may be further amended as a result of written comments received during the public review and comment period. The public review and comment period runs May11, 2016 to July 11, 2016.

The FSP will be available for review at the following location, dates and time. To ensure a representative from TimberWest is available to discuss the plan any interested parties should telephone in advance to arrange an appointment.

Nanwakolas gives NIC $11,000 to grow First Nations bursary MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

First Nations students studying at North Island College received another boost this week with the announcement of an $11,000 gift from the Nanwakolas Council to the NIC Foundation.

The gift, raised though a corporate golf challenge at Crown Isle Resort & Golf Community in Comox will

be used to support the Foundation’s TL’axsam Me mor i a l Bu rs ar y, in memory of former Comox Valley MLA Stan Hagen.

“Stan was the inspiration behind this idea,” says Dallas Smith, president of the Nanwakolas Council. “TL’axsam, meaning Red Cod, was the honourary name t he K’ómok s F i rst Nation gave to Stan

because of his rosy cheeks. Mr. Hagen was an advocate for First Nations and education.

This bursary will help ensure his legacy lives on.”

Smith adds their hope is that the bursary fund will continue to grow, “to a point where postsecondary education is a given, as opposed to the exception in First Nations communities.

The golf tournament has raised $23,500 over the last three years, and

The NIC Foundation received an $11,000 grant from the Nanwakolas Council. The money will be used to support the TL’axsam Memorial Bursary in memory of former MLA Stan Hagen.

when combined with the more than $10,500 that the donations have received in matching funds from North Island

College, the endowment’s fund balance currently stands at over $34,000. The income generated annually will

support an approximate $1,300 bursary for a student every year, forever.

“The creation of this bursary not only hon-

education seats throughout the province, and 30 of those 46 will be right here at the Campbell River campus.

The school’s electrical program – which starts this month – is receiving funding for an additional 16 seats in Level 2 of the program and another 14 seats are being opened in Level 4 of the school’s

Truck and Transport Mechanics program.

“Those heavy-duty mechanics seats are an especially big deal for us,” says Christiana Wiens with NIC communications, “because students can do all four levels of that program here, and it’s always full and wait listed, so those extra seats are really great to help meet that demand.”

Kin clubs support CF research, clinical care and fund local projects right across the country. When they first joined in the fight against CF, children with the disease were not expected to live past the age of four. So for roughly every year of Kin support, an extra year of life for a child with CF has been gained!

The fight against cystic fibrosis will continue to have a special place in the hearts of the Campbell River Kinsmen. They are there for the long haul and will be amongst the first to rejoice when CF stands for “cure found”.

‘Borrow a Bike’ possibly as early as this summer MIKE DAVIES

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

While École Phoenix Grade 8 student Jamiliya Wellard was visiting Québec City last summer, she stayed on the campus of Laval University and toured the historic city using borrowed bikes.

So when she returned home, she began imagining what impact a “Borrow a Bike” program could have on our own town.

“I would love it if tourists had that same opportunity here,” she wrote in a letter to Campbell River city council, to whom she presented her idea this week.

She was hoping the city would approve her proposal of installing a kiosk of sorts, along with a series of bike racks, down at the end of the Seawalk in Willow Point, so that she and other volunteers could run the program throughout this coming summer.

The program would run Saturdays and Sundays through July and August from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Wellard told council.

Her proposal was that

Jamiliya Wellard presented her proposal to council this week for the implementation of a Borrow a Bike program similar to the one she used last summer while visiting Quebec City.

they set up a “mobile office” which would have enough room for a volunteer to sit in out of the weather and process the bike loans, along with a dozen or so bikes and some bike racks If it went forward, Wellard told council, she would personally work to set up a donation centre for second-hand bikes, helmets and locks, and ask local bike shops for donations of time to do tune-ups and maintenance for the program and have them checked over after every weekend of use.

The proposed program, Wellard wrote, “would work on a loan system where you would

leave your passport or ID in exchange for a bike,” and borrowers would leave a credit card number to cover potential damage or theft, though the use of the bikes would be free.

“Persons using the Borrow a Bike program would also sign a waiver that it is a ‘use at your own risk’ bike program,” and would need to check in every two hours after borrowing the bike, Wellard wrote.

Mayor Andy Adams said the idea certainly reflects council’s desire for environmental sustainability to be considered while deciding on municipal initiatives to be implemented and

both Coun. Michele Babckuk and Coun.

Colleen Evans suggested various possibilities for acquiring volunteers, such as the city’s Youth Action Committee and the Volunteer Centre.

Coun. Charlie Cornfield mentioned to Wellard that some bike loan or rental programs he’s aware of have various pick-up and drop-off locations so the bikes don’t necessarily need to be returned to where they were signed out and can therefore also be used as one-way transportation, so that’s another idea that might be considered in the future should the program pan out.

Coun. Larry Samson moved that consideration of going forward with the program be referred to the city’s Community Services Recreation and Culture Commission and the Youth Action Committee for their feedback, which was passed unanimously.

Coun. Babchuk said she feels it’s a worthwhile initiative to pursue, and wondered aloud if it isn’t something they should also be talking to Tourism Campbell River &

Region about helping with.

Coun. Samson agreed, and said he’d like to see it before the committees as soon as possible so they can work on possibly having it implemented by this July.

Four Campbell River bantam players taken in WHL draft Mike Davies Campbell RiveR miRRoR

Local hockey players Jalen Price, Nolan

Corrado, River Fahey and Matt Ubriaco are all one step closer to realizing every young athlete’s dream: playing

in the big leagues.

In last week’s WHL bantam draft, held in Calgary, Price was selected 63rd overall by the Medicine Hat Tigers, Corrado was selected 71st by the Swift Current Broncos, Fahey went 74th to the Red Deer Rebels and Ubriaco went 191st to the Kamloops Blazers.

The Bantam Draft is held annually and players selected in the draft are added to a team’s Protected Player List (PPL).

Once a player is selected by a club, that player can only attend the tryout camps and other team activities of that WHL team.

Teams have 50 spots on their Protected Player Lists, which include every player on a club’s current roster.

A roster holds 23 players, meaning teams only have 27 spots left for prospects, so they are extremely careful about who they place on those lists.

That means it’s certainly an exceptional recognition for a player to be added to a team’s

Above, Campbell River’s Matthew Ubriaco (a member of the bantam Tyees) was drafted by the Kamloops Blazers in last year’s WHL draft. Below, bantam Tyee River Fahey was selected by the Red Deer Rebels in the draft.

list.

Just because a player doesn’t get drafted in the annual Bantam Draft, it doesn’t mean they won’t end up in the league or go on to have a career in the sport, however.

There are always needles in the haystacks – or diamonds in the rough – when it comes to finding young talent who will go places in a sport, the league says.

“While the WHL Bantam Draft is the first opportunity for teams to select gradu-

day for young players, it is important to realize that many excellent players will not be selected on draft day.

For those players not selected, they will still have the opportunity to attend a WHL Training Camp and play in the league in the near future,” the league says.

For example, players the likes of Joffrey Lupul, Shea Weber, Jarome Iginla and Shane Doan were all passed over during the Bantam Draft but still went on to have

ating Bantam players, it is not the last chance for a player to be listed or recruited by a WHL Club,” according to whl. com’s page on the Bantam Draft.

“After the Draft is completed, all remaining Bantam players become eligible to be listed by WHL Clubs, and many will be added as spots become available on a WHL Club PPL, or as player development improves at a higher level of hockey.

“While the WHL Bantam Draft is an exciting

exceptional professional hockey careers in the National Hockey League.

Price, Corrado, Fahey and Ubriaco won’t have to wait for open tryouts or future invitations, however, since, as of last week, they have already gotten one foot – or rather four feet – in the door of their prospective hockey futures.

Both Fahey and Ubriaco played for the provincial championship bantam Tyees team while Corrado and Price are former Tyees.
