From Prague, Czech Republic, by way of B.C.’s Cariboo region, then to North Vancouver, and finally landing at 262 Island Highway in Campbell River about three years ago, Pavel Barta is hoping he’s found his permanent home and is showing he very much wants to be an artistic part of the community. After leaving his life as a graphic designer with a publishing company, Barta fell in love with creating sculpture. Beginning with small, handcrafted clay figures, he quickly scaled up, and now produces large bronze and fibreglass outdoor sculptures, as well. Most recently, however, he was given the honour of creating the award statue for the Campbell River Mirror’s Local Hero Awards, so he had to dial back on the scale of what he normally does. “They said somewhere around 10 inches or so,” Barta says, “but I still wanted it to have a lot of movement, Continued on A3

because that’s what I like to do: give everything – even things that don’t move at all – as much visual movement as I can.” So he settled on the breaching humpback whale as the imagery for the piece, because, to him, it perfectly represents and captures what he loves about his new community. “We are in paradise,” he says. “And when you see these whales out there on the water, it truly reminds you of that.” Not only that, the whales represent what he sees in the award nominees. “We are all on a journey,” he says. “These people aren’t going to just take this statue and sit back and be done. They will continue along their journey, just like these whales we
see going by. They don’t stop. They keep going along their way, being who they are and doing their thing. Being beautiful.” The Local Hero Awards, presented by the Campbell River Mirror and Marine Harvest, will take place next Thursday evening, May 31 in a reception at the No. 1 Fire Hall downtown. The awards
recognize some of the many people in our community who have a positive impact on those around them. Nominations were collected from the community in various categories earlier this year in categories ranging from “Community Builder” to “Courage and Bravery” to “Environmental Leadership” to “Emergency Ser-
vices” and more. Finalists for each award were selected by a panel of community members from various sectors, and the 12 winners will be announced at Thursday’s ceremony. There they will each be presented with one of Barta’s bronze whales in recognition of their excellent work in making Campbell River the place we all love.

The wildfire that broke out Wednesday night southwest of Campbell River had grown to 12 hectares in size (as of Mirror press time), according to the Coastal Fire Centre. It was initially reported to be about four hectares, though officials are not worried about the blaze spreading. The fire is reported to be near Argonaut Mainline and the Quinsam Coal mine. A gate on the road to the mine site was open Thursday morning, with vehicles getting in and out, but the site was being guarded to control access. Light

Wetland restoration just waiting on the frogs and salamanders to hatch
Parkway Properties is set to resume the Jubilee wetland restoration as soon as the sensitive amphibian hatching period is over and water levels can be safely dropped, the City of Campbell River announced Wednesday. The restoration design includes a range of water depths and a mix of wetland forest, shrub and aquatic vegetation habitat to help bring back biodiversity to the damaged wetland south of Jubilee Parkway. The city issued the development permit last year for the restoration and a water control/ diversion structure was installed under a provincial Water Sustainability Act notification and a Highways permit. Last year, Parkway Properties also removed an extensive amount of invasive Scotch broom and blackberry, and coarse woody debris has been stockpiled on site for use in this year’s restoration. The work had to be suspended however, as stakeholder consultation required for final approval from the province didn’t allow enough time for construction prior to the rainy season. “Parkway Properties had to reapply
planning. “A conservation covenant will also be placed on the wetland once the construction is complete and the wetland can be surveyed.” The work to restore the wetland follows City Council’s December 2016 requirement for a combination of wetland restoration and compensation land at a two-to-one replacement ratio for the northern portion of the infilled fen wetland south of Jubilee Parkway. The solution includes retaining two existing provincially red-listed (endangered) trembling aspen forested wetlands and existing forest land on the west side of the property bordering the Woods Creek wetland. Conservation targets (including strategies to reduce threats to targets) as well as ongoing monitoring and measurement of key ecological attributes will use accepted scientific methods and best practices.
This marsh area bordered the property owned by Parkway Properties which disturbed sensitive wetlands south of Jubilee Parkway. Restoration of the wetlands by Parkway is to be completed this summer. File photo by Kristen Douglas/Campbell River Mirror for their provincial Water Sustainability Act Approval to create the wetland and that permit is now in place,” says Terri Martin, the city’s environmental specialist. “While the project biologists wait for the amphibians to hatch, the provincial amphibian salvage permit is being processed and soon they will be ready to go.” Previous amphibian survey work documented northwestern salamanders, longtoed salamanders, and Pacific chorus frog egg masses very near the water surface (People living near a wetland often hear chorus frogs calling in spring). Once these eggs have hatched, the water control structure will allow the wetland to be temporarily drained. During this process, which will
take more than three weeks, biologists will salvage and re-locate amphibians to a few deep pools that will remain during the wetland re-construction. Machines will excavate and rebuild the wetland, replacing stockpiled peat, removing infill and creating a replacement wetland. After the restoration is complete, the control structure will help maintain water levels in the wetland. “We are pleased to report that Parkway Properties will start work this summer to register the conservation covenant on the 2.1 hectares of forest land near the west property boundary that is part of the conservation solution as set out in the development permit,” says Peter Wipper, the city’s director of
Parkway Properties has submitted this restoration plan to the City of Campbell River.

Jim Abram is once again hoping to be the Strathcona Regional District’s representative for Electoral Area C (Discovery Islands-Mainland Inlets). He announced on a Facebook post over the May long weekend that he was putting his name forward again. “I have never considered that I would not,” he later told the Mirror. Four years ago, Abram retained the seat through acclamation. This week, he tried to deliver the news he is running in this fall’s election in an understated fashion. “I hate to use the word ‘running.’ I’m not looking for a campaign,” he said. On the Facebook post, Abram cited numerous projects
as some of his continuing priorities. “I have so many projects on the go at this time that are all proceeding positively and I would love to see them through to completion,” he wrote. These include bringing fibre optic connectivity to all communities; housing issues; procuring old school district properties on Stuart Island; adding a sewer connection for Cape Mudge Village; undertaking a seismic upgrade at the community centre/emergency reception centre; and finding a solution for north island fire service needs. “That’s just the tip of the iceberg,” he told the Mirror. Abram also confirmed that Dan Mackenzie wishes to stay on as his alternate at the board. “He has done a great job in my oc-

Local therapist earns UBC fellowship By Klari Varallyai Each profession has its own unique set of feats and recently Edwin Betinol, a local physiotherapist, has become the first physical therapist to be awarded a clinical educator fellowship at the UBC Centre of Health Education Scholarship (CHES).
Betinol is the owner of The Joint Physiotherapy + Pain Treatment Centre in Campbell River, and The Joint Physiotherapy + Sport Injury Centre in Courtenay. Aside from his entrepreneurial paths, Betinol is passionate about learning. After completing his physical therapy degree
at the University of Alberta, he went on to become a certified hand specialist, obtained manual therapy credentials as a fellow of Canadian Academy of Manual Physical Therapy (FCAMPT) and obtained a certificate in Pain Management and certificate in Sexual Health.
Along with this long list of accomplishments, Betinol is highly involved with clinical education regularly supervising and teaching physical therapy students. As a clinical assistant professor at the UBC Department of Physical Therapy, he strives to create a learning environment
based on a family-style approach where multiple clinicians supervise students with a focus on shared knowledge. The two-year CHES fellowship will provide Betinol with an opportunity to gain skills and experience in curriculum development, learner assessment and
other educational activities. In a recent interview with UBC’s Insight: A Newsletter for Physical Therapy Clinical Educators, Betinol describes his objectives for the duration of his fellowship, which includes working towards his master’s in health professionals education as well as assist-
ing the Department of Physical Therapy in creating programs that are directly related to improving the clinical education experience. The Joint Physiotherapy Pain Management Treatment Clinic is located at 107-250 Dogwood St., phone: 250-2873530.
TIPS FROM TAP Managing a business can be stressful. One stressor is the assumption that you need to be constantly connected. However, studies show that one of the best ways to feel more relaxed is to become less beholden to one's phone. Even if you're running a business, there are practical ways to cut your volume of phone checks down. Firstly, get a real alarm clock. Resist using your phone as an alarm clock. Secondly, purchase a watch. Many people use their phone to check the time and end up checking everything else. Next, set times to deal with e-mail. E-mail will expand to fill all available space. The only way to spend less time on e-mail is to choose to spend less time on e-mail. Finally, try taking yourself less seriously. If there is an emergency, and you are unreachable, the smart people you deal with will figure it out. Less connected, less stress. 1281 Cedar Street, Campbell River | Phone: 250-914-5828 Email: info@tapbookkeeping.ca | WWW.tapbookkeeping.ca C O N T I N U I N G E D U C AT I O N C A M P B E L L R I V E R

2000). He has written and edited several other books, and is the editor of The Ormsby Review, an online journal about B.C. books and authors. In 2014 Richard Mackie gave the Haig-Brown Memorial Lecture, and ever since he has continued to have an interest in the life of Roderick Haig-Brown. In his research, he has found that Haig-Brown seems to have been influenced profoundly by the riverkeeper on the Frome River at his grandfather’s estate in England. Some of the propriety and aesthetic sense he developed on the Frome he then transferred to the Nimpkish and Campbell Rivers. Mackie’s talk is entitled “Roderick Haig-Brown: Western Riverkeeper,” and will take place on Saturday May 26 from 1-2:30 p.m. The cost of the lecture is $7 per person. For more information call the Museum at 250-2873103 or go to crmuseum.ca

To use their GradPASS, graduates only need to scratch off their two chosen travel days – which don’t need to be consecutive – and show the card to their bus driver at the time of boarding. GradPASS cards will be distributed to local schools in late May.

Walking away the stigma of mental illness MIKE DAVIES Campbell River Mirror
E
very day, people all around you are suffering. Much of the time you can’t tell who they are, how they feel or what they need in order to heal. Mental illness is an often invisible affliction that has wide-ranging effects and impacts. Anne Simonsen knows the struggle well. “I was really isolated,” she remembers. “I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety and really I needed a push to get out and meet people, to socialize and to form a safety network.” But then when Simonsen was getting help from her clinician and psychiatrist at Campbell River Mental Health and Substance Use about three years ago, they told her about the Beacon Club. “I had a lot of fear and anxiety about coming here for the first time,” she says, “but everyone was really friendly. I’ve made friends. I like the camaraderie, getting to know people and having some laughs.” Located on Pier Street in the heart of Campbell River, the Beacon Club has been helping adults aged 19 and over with mental illnesses since 1993. It provides a safe, welcoming space for its members to socialize
with their peers, learn new skills, and enjoy meals and activities together. Simonsen found she liked the club so much, she started working there. She’s been helping keep the place clean and tidy for the past two years. But besides her work keeping the place clean, Simonsen also comes to the club for three weekly meals, participates in the weekly Effective Communication group and special club events like Spa Day, the beach party and karaoke. She also attends movies and concerts, goes bowling and is one of the first members to sign up for trips to other island communities. Simonsen, along with many others who suffer from mental illness – and those who support them – will be participating in the 6th Annual Defeat Depression Walk June 10 because as someone who has the mental illness, she wants to let others know there’s hope and help. Beacon Club administrator, Robyn Ellsworth, says the event is not only important for raising funds to support the club’s programming, but it also raises awareness of an under-appreciated affliction. “Mental health is important for everybody,” Ellsworth says. “Whether it’s stress at work or just having a million things
North Island – Powell River MP Rachel Blaney speaks with Beacon Club Administrator Robyn Ellsworth before last year’s Defeat Depression Walk, which raises funds for the club’s programming and helps break the stigma surrounding mental illness. Mike Davies/ Mirror File Photo on the go in life. But then there are the more severe issues like schizophrenia or bipolar or PTSD – which I think is becoming much more well-known with what’s been coming out about military personnel and first responders and people in those kinds of professions – there still needs to be a lot more done in terms of getting rid of that stigma.” But for Simonsen, the event is about doing what she can to help the club
that has helped her so much. “You get a sense of being a part of the community by being a part of the club and participating in the activities,” Simonsen says. “And being at the club has helped me get over my own sense of stigma about my depression. “If I hadn’t come here, I would be in bed, never leaving my place. The depression would have sunk so low, I would have considered suicide.”
She still continues to work with her mental health support team, as well, and she notes finding the right medication and dosage has also helped. “It takes time, but when you find it, it’s great,” she says. Join Simonsen, Ellsworth and everyone else supporting mental health at the Defeat Depression Walk, Sunday, June 10 at Robert Ostler Park. Registration is 10 a.m. and the 4 km walk be-
gins at 11 a.m. The route will be from the park, up to the museum, across the road to Sequoia Park and back down to Robert Ostler Park for a post-walk barbecue at the longhouse. For more information, contact Beacon Club administrator Robyn Ellsworth at 250-286-8828 or by email at robyn.ellsworth@ shaw.ca Or you can go to CampbellRiver.DefeatDepression.ca to register or make a pledge.

Malbec has come to be recognized as Argentina’s signature red wine. Slowly but surely Torrontés is being recognized world-wide as Argentina’s signature white wine.

Jidvei is the most famous Romanian producer of premium dry and medium dry white wines. Native to Romania, Feteasca Alba is a white clone of the indigenous variety Feteasca neagra originating in Moldova. Feteasca Alba Jidvei Sec (410845) $12.49 might be mistaken for dry Riesling crossed with an unoaked Chardonnay. Lemon, lime, peach and apricot flavours sizzle in every sip of this unusual dry white.

ate of Oman in the south-east corner of the Arabian Peninsula. Whistle clean and rapier sharp, Joie Farm ‘The Pure Grape’ Muscat (167239) $24.35 comes from 2 acres of estate grown Moscato Giallo – the Italian version of this chameleon of a grape - aka Yellow Muscat. High-toned apple blossom and peach aromatics make this white smell much sweeter than it tastes. Thrillingly juicy citric acidity gets the mouth watering wildly on every sip – lemon, lime and grapefruit notes just keep on coming. Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier are the primary white wine grapes of the northern Rhône valley. Any combination of these with Grenache Blanc, Clairette Blanc and Bourbolenc, in any proportions, would qualify a white wine for inclusion in Saint-Joseph AOP – aka: AOC - Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée. Ferraton Pere & Fils ‘La Source’ Saint-Joseph AOC (870030) $38.99 is a gorgeously ripe and perfectly balanced white wine made from 100 per cent Marsanne. From vines grown in granite soil, the grapes for this white are fermented by their own indigenous, natural yeasts. Luscious citric flavours dominate – lemon curd, candied tangerine rind - and swirl into a mouthful of sunbaked rocky honeysuckle. Local wine lovers may find some of these wines being poured at the Campbell River Daybreak Rotary Wine & Blues Fest on June 9 at the Maritime Heritage Centre.

A Look Back
THE HISTORY OF THE CAMPBELL RIVER AREA
Cortes Island: A small island rich with stories By Erika Anderson Cortes Island. Among those that have been there the name evokes a sense of serenity and beauty, an island oasis where the pace of life slows to a soothing rate. At about 25km long, there is ample space for the approximately 1000 yearround residents. In the summer the population booms, attracting visitors from near and far hoping for a relaxing escape. Located at the entrance to Desolation Sound, there is evidence of human use of the island that goes back at least 8,000 years. There is an ancient petroglyph, whose age is unknown, of a nine foot long whale, or a possibly fish. The island was been used by Coast Salish peoples, however the populations suffered devastating losses during the smallpox epidemic in 1782, ten years before Spanish and British Explorers arrived to the area. Smallpox swept through the area again in 1862-1864, killing many of the remaining people. Today, the Klahoose First Nation live at Squirrel Cove. While in the area in 1792, the Spanish named the island Cortes, and surrounding islands Hernando and Marina, after the Spanish Conqueror of Mexico, Hernando Cortes, and his
David and Alice Robertson, circa 1890s, courtesy Museum at Campbell River mistress Marina. The Spanish and the English spent time together in Desolation Sound, comparing charts and mapping. Some places were renamed with British names, however Cortes Island retained its Spanish moniker. A few years later, the Dawson Whaling Company arrived on Cortes, where they set up a whaling station and try-works, or rendering facility. Whale oil was lucrative business, so they pursed the beautiful creatures relentlessly, virtually decimating the populations in a few short years. It was a short-lived industry, resulting in longterm consequences to local cetaceans.
www.crmuseum.ca
The first permanent European settler to the Island was Micheal Manson, after whom Manson’s Landing is named. He pre-empted land in 1886, and opened a trading post. Other settlers arrived soon after, with the 1890s being a period of rapid growth and many land pre-emptions being issued. By 1891 the Union Steamship was making weekly stops on the island delivering mail and goods, and giving passengers a way to get to and from the island. Settlements were established at Manson’s Landing, Cortes Bay, Whaletown, Seaford and Squirrel Cove, although no roads connected the settlements in the early years. These early
settlers were mainly farmers and loggers. The 1898 directory listed Cortes Island as a logging camp due to the numerous logging companies and hand-loggers working there. In 1905 Alice and David Robertson moved to Whaletown. Alice kept a diary from 1905 to 1927, which captured the pioneer experience and the details of her day to day life. Frequently women’s stories are underrepresented in history. We know little of their thoughts and struggles, or the details of the overwhelming workload expected of women in working class families. In Alice’s case we know that, with her husband working away for long stretches of

time, she was responsible for everything from tending to their large flock of chickens, keeping predators at bay, hunting, baking bread, churning butter, maintaining the substantial garden that fed her family, and raising four children. She even references falling some alder trees. Alice’s father had been a Baptist medical missionary, and as a result of this family background in medicine Alice was often called upon to tend to the injured or assist with the delivery of babies. This journal is a fascinating read and provides an invaluable narrative of early settlement on Cortes Island. This summer you can circumnavigate Cortes Island as part of the Museum at Campbell River’s historic boat tours. On these trips a Museum guide is on board to share the history of the region while you take in the breathtaking scenery. For more information about Alice Robertson, a copy of her diaries are in the Archives at the Museum at Campbell River. The Archives Research Centre is open Tuesday to Friday from 1-4pm. For more information about the historic boat tours, the Archives, or other happenings at the Museum, go to www.crmuseum.ca.

The Campbell River Ravens managed to keep it close for about half a
game during Sunday’s match against the Saanich Express at Rod Brind’Amour
Arena. But Saanich slowly started to pull away and outscored the
Ravens 12-6 by the time of the final buzzer. Next up for the Ravens are the
Westshore Bears at Rod Brind’Amour Arena on Sunday at 3 p.m.
Local gymnasts Brooklyn Batch, Janika Scriba and Chloe Doyon delivered strong performances inside the top 10 at the Cash and Carry invitational in Delta held on the May 12 weekend. They were in a division where they combine the JO level 9, 10 and high performance in a fun
finale to the season. This competition was made up of four teams. The Campbell River athletes were on the “Jade” team that ended up winning the entire competition. Brooklyn Batch had a strong competition with an eighth place all-around finish, winning $75 in the process. She
placed seventh on the floor, 10th on both vault and floor and finished 19th on bars. Janika Scriba also had a good day, finishing just outside the money in eighth place in the all-around. She was sixth on vault, placed 12th on the beam, finished 14th and 20th on the bars. Chloe Doyon
rounded out the girls’ solid day, ending up in 13th in the allaround. She placed
14th on the beam, 16th on both vault and bars and finished 19th on the floor.

other 30 or 40 laps. I took a break, had a beer (some habits die hard), and then ripped off another pile of laps … I lost count, but an hour went by pretty quickly. Every night since, I have spent my spare time blasting around the little track in my back yard. I’m starting to wonder how something so simple can relax me so much. Maybe the repetitive task of pumping lap after lap on a tiny dirt oval, without even one pedal stroke, is what I need to numb my brain and sweat out a bit of stress, or maybe I’m just a simpleton. Who’s to say, but I’m having a ton of fun, and sleeping better. I definitely do not have a simple life, but if I can find a moment here and there to balance it out, it’s keeps me sane … ish.

t’s been a crazy spring so far and apparently I have taken on far more than I should have this year. Which I do most years. With little or no spare time and more stress than I can really handle, I find once my kids are in bed each night and I have finished work for the day, rather than do something productive, I have been having a beer or two and going to bed. It sounds like a nice way to relax, but in reality it is not doing me much good at all. The earlier nights don’t seem to improve my sleep, the beer is not helping my fitness, or my figure, and I am not riding as much as normal for this time of year. So one night last week, rather than the regular routine, I pulled my bike out and decided to do 10 laps on the pump track in my back yard. After 30 or 40 laps I stopped, switched directions, and rode an-

Local salmon derby expanding boundaries
R
ecreational sport fishing for salmon is alive and well in Campbell River and you will notice some key changes when the season launches in June. The locals who own boats can fish every month of the year and the fishing season starts off slowly in May but June is the month the serious anglers get out and go after salmon. Fishing lodges and charter companies have spent the winter months marketing their product and many repeat customers FISHING will return and experience salmon fishing in Area 13. The most targeted salmon is the Chinook and maybe it’s not what it used to be but the fishing is still good in this area. On any given day you will see fishing boats being trailered on the highway and the traffic is heavy on the weekends. Pacific Playground Resort has made dock improvements over the past two years and this year the Big Rock boat launch will be closed June through October for upgrades and im-
American dollar, the tourists are still coming from America to fish in Campbell River. This will be the third year that the Royal LePage Advance Realty Salmon Fishing Derby will be held and the money raised stays in the community. This one-day derby will be held Saturday, June 9 and a full day of free family fun can be had at the staging area at Ostler Park. You can win a pair of tickets to fish the derby by sending your name and telephone number to dddon27@yahoo.com. The winner will be notified and announced next Friday in the Fishing Corner. The next derby will be held at Painters Lodge a few weeks following as the ladies take to the boats for salmon fishing and bragging rights if they catch the big one. Discovery Pier is a great spot to catch a salmon and the fishing experience has a relaxed atmosphere. The salmon fishing has been good for those spending the time and effort and some big springs have been caught on a regular basis. You must have a fishing license and know the regulations and always read the fishing etiquette posted. The hard core spin anglers will fish the early morning tide as the tour-
proved parking facilities. A few of the old guide shacks are still around but they are slowly going away as new projects are getting started. Driving north into Campbell River there is a rest area at Oyster Bay Park and picnic tables are there along with washrooms. This is a good viewing area to stop and see the fishing activity around Shelter Bay and off to the distance is the Red and Green Can C R m markers and the Hump where fishing activity can be observed on a clear day. CORNER Back in the day, the big salmon fishing players were Painters Lodge and Dolphins Resort and today fishing is a big part of their operation but other activities like bear and whale watching are added to the list of things to do in Campbell River. Over the past number of years, wedding packages are offered with the chance to go fishing. The tourist season is well underway and people are arriving in Campbell River from Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom. Because of the strong First issue 1971

ists often will be walking around the pier in the afternoon. At times it can be a busy place to enjoy the view and have ice cream or coffee. The fishing scoreboard will be posted on the concession wall as fish are caught and reported. Trout anglers were very pleased as the ant hatch was in full gear on Sunday, May 13 as the water in various areas of Lower Campbell Lake were bubbling with trout who were going after ants falling in the water and as I rowed around the back islands, the bite was on for a few days but the following week died right off and those fishing with worms were doing very well fishing from shore. To my dismay, one of the local campground day use areas was gated off during the long weekend. I am thinking there are some people who abuse day use areas and often will camp for a number of days without paying a fee. Many of the good lakes can be reached by driving on active logging roads and knowing where to go can be an advantage as logging truck traffic can be heavy and dusty. A rule of thumb is to check area maps or inquire at the local tackle shops to see what is accessible.

Give Bike to Work Week a chance It’s Bike to Work Week next week, but I won’t be taking part. I’d like to, but my commute, 30-plus minutes by car, is a little long. The fact that I’m between bikes is also a consideration. I’ve done Bike to Work Week before, though this was when I lived in Saskatoon and already rode my bike to work, at least during the above-zero months. Commuting by bike saved on my fuel bill and guaranteed me a little exercise five times a week. As long as no major hills are involved, there are few physical activities I enjoy more. Maybe it’s because I couldn’t ride a bike for a long time. My dad made an ill-fated attempt to teach me at my Grade 1 birthday party, but the last thing I needed was an au-
dience to see me go splat. I finally taught myself a couple of years later. I’d somehow talked my folks into getting me one of those early BMX bikes that looked like a replica dirt bike, complete with fake fuel tank. The guilt got to me, so I figured I should learn to ride. I got on the seat and pushed it around the driveway, with my feet splayed, not worrying how to use the pedals. After each lap, I gained my sense of balance and more confidence until I could pedal my way anywhere. If only life were always so easy….
I don’t think of myself as a cyclist, or pedestrian, or driver. I do all of these activities but don’t consider them part of WISE my identity. It’s mostly because there are few discussions as tedious as people’s arguments about bikes, or worse, bike lanes. This should join religion and politics as a dinner topic best avoided. I understand the anger over obnoxious, aggressive bike riders, but if you’re constantly singling out cyclists for all of society’s evils, I guarantee you’re starting to sound boring. Maybe no one will tell you, but chances are
CRACKS Mike Chouinard
Have you thought about summer water conservation yet? We should conserve water all year as we can, of course, but it becomes all the more critical over the summer months as things dry out and rain can be hard to come by. May has so far been exceptionally dry, and folks with gardens have likely already started doing some watering, if they have new plants to baby into adulthood. Stage 1 water restrictions have come into effect, as they do automatically every year, but much is still permissible under this lowest of the restriction levels, including car washing and pool filling. But it’s time to start dialing back anyway. The longer it takes for them to send us to Stage 2, We say: Water the better. Not only conservation and that, but it’s what’s best for the environment, fire safety both the environment need to be top of and is what we love about mind living here, right? On the other end of the spectrum, fire was also in the news this week. Burning bans came into effect for the Coastal Fire Centre area and a wildfire started up near Quinsam Coal – the first of what could be considered a major fire of the season on Vancouver Island. The ban doesn’t yet include campfires, but we imagine that’s coming soon if the weather continues to be mostly rainless. One doesn’t usually think about the threat of forest fires in May – not here, anyway – but it seems this year we have to. It’s a good reminder, after a winter of wet weather, that we need to be careful when we get out into nature. Part of the reason for some of the devastating flooding happening further inland in B.C. right now is the fires they went through last summer and the changes in the landscape. It only takes on small spark to create a big problem that can have far-reaching consequences.
Opinion
they’re tuning you out while they wait for dessert at the family dinner table. North America’s approach to bike lanes, I admit, is traditionally flawed. It’s more of a slapdash fix for decades of bad urban planning. Some cities like Copenhagen have figured out better ways to integrate bikes with pedestrians and both moving and parked vehicles. Actually, “separate” would be a more accurate term. We’re nowhere close to that yet, but perhaps someday. In the meantime, if you have a bike and it’s feasible to cycle to work next week, maybe give it a go. Or don’t. Whatever your choice, please stop kvetching about bikes. One of the greatest joys of riding is having only the sound of the wind in your ears.

The pipeline project: How we got here By Rod Link
This is the first story in a five-part series on the issues surrounding Kinder Morgan’s proposed expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline, investigating the history, science, Indigenous reaction, politics and economics of the controversial project. The full series is currently available on our website (www. campbellrivermirror. com). This is Part II of the introductory story. Oilsands development drives pipeline need As the Trans Mountain pipeline evolved, so did the nature of oil exploration in Alberta, with growing interest in the Athabasca oilsands. That accelerated in the mid-1980s and into the 1990s, spurred on by the growing demand for oil and encouraged by government assistance and subsidies. With the volume of heavy crude from the Athabasca region increasing and the resulting need to get
the product to refineries, the first sign of things to come took place in 2004 when Trans Mountain began promoting its Anchor Loop project. This was to be a 160-km line running adjacent to the main line between Hinton, Alberta and a location in B.C. called Rearguard, near Tete Jaune Cache. This section ran through Jasper National Park and Mount Robson Provincial Park, but appeared to draw little of the fierce attention now being focused on the expansion project. Kinder Morgan Canada’s press release of Oct. 31, 2006 announcing National Energy Board approval left little doubt about the company’s long-term intentions, saying the project “will increase the ability of Canadian producers and marketers to access growing markets on the West Coast as well as Asian markets.” Company president Ian Anderson added this in the same release: “Approval for the Trans Mountain
Loop really sets up the next phases of expansion, which will enable us to expand the pipeline system both south (serving markets in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia and Washington State) and north (to a deepwater port facility in the Kitimat region that would primarily serve markets in Asia).” Finished in 2008, the Anchor Loop project boosted capacity to 300,000 barrels a day, concentrating on moving heavy crude and, crucially, engineered so that it could be integrated into any further mainline expansion project southward. Expansion plan unveiled in 2012 Kinder Morgan’s 2006 references to expansion fully sur-

faced in 2012 when it announced firm commitments from 13 companies – sufficient to justify a second pipeline carrying diluted heavy crude running mostly adjacent to the existing pipeline, nearly tripling its southward capacity to 890,000 barrels a day. (Kinder Morgan’s pipeline plans for Kitimat never did progress, and neither did rival pipeline operator Enbridge’s own concept for a pipeline to Kitimat. While approved by Stephen Harper’s Conservative government, the Northern Gateway project was
to be an increasing number of motivated environmental groups focused on the continuing development of the Alberta oilsands as a multi-pronged polluter, particularly with emissions from extraction of heavy crude and everyday use of refined petroleum products. Since diluted crude from the oilsands would be pumped through the twinned pipeline, the two became inseparable in the eyes of environmental groups and others. On B.C’s coast there was an additional cause for opposition. There were worries that the increase in tanker traffic – from approximately four a month at present, to a projected 34 – would inevitably increase the chances of an oil spill.

GO GOLFING! Quadra makes some off-season changes MIKE DAVIES Campbell River Mirror
T
hose who have been fortunate enough to make the short boat trip over to Quadra Island for a round know what kind of little gem they’ve got over there. And this year it’s somehow gotten even better, according to Jason Tchir, head pro and general manager. “We’ve had some exceptional volunteer help over the winter – like, even more than we normally do, and that’s saying something,” Tchir says. “This year it’s included excavating, clearing out a lot of the brush that’s been an underlying issue for some golfers who tend to miss the fairway a little more often than others.” But that’s not to say the course is a cakewalk now. They didn’t widen everything everywhere and make it so you can spray your tee shot wherever it happens to go without repercussion. The main area they worked on was between the second green and the third
tee, where there used to be a large patch of thick brush. They’ve removed most of that brush and are in the process of seeding it to make it playable for those who miss short and left on their approach shot on the par-4 second. “Based on the number of golf balls we found when we were doing that work, a lot of people miss there,” Tchir says with a chuckle. “It was also opened up a bit to allow a bit more of the morning sunshine to shine down on that green, as well as improve the air flow through that area, which helps both our cultural practices and the aesthetics of the course.” Then when you make that turn and come back up the par-5 third – which can be a beast of a hole – you’ll see a significant change, as well. While they were dealing with a drainage issue to the right of the cart path on the inside corner of the second dogleg, Tchir says, they decided to open up some more room there, too.
“There used to be an overgrown dry creek bed to the right of the cart path there, but we’ve filled that in and now there’s going to be five or six yards extra there. It was a notorious spot for people to miss – it’s in line with the green and a lot of balls would just find there way in there. So we’ve killed two birds with one stone by improving the drainage but also made it more fair.” They did a similar thing when you get around to the par-4 eighth, where a missed fairway to the left on the tee shot used to see you going back to your bag for another ball. “It’s selective clearing,” Tchir says. “We’ve left all sorts of natural vegetation there, but we’ve given the golfer another seven or eight yards to the left and I think it’s become a bit more fair to the golfers, who can now have an approach shot from over there a little more often.” “If we chip away on a few holes every year like this, because we don’t really have the resources to do more than
Quadra Golf’s Jason Tchir says there have been some significant changes to the course over there this offseason, and they’ll keep chipping away at it. that, it’s really going to make the overall experience better for everyone.” Contrary to popular belief, these types of course improvements aren’t made based on complaints from frustrated golfers. “If we had to do that, we wouldn’t have any vegetation out there at all,” Tchir says with a
laugh. “I used to think that was a bigger part of the decision making process, but as I get longer and longer in the golf industry, I realize that it’s more about safety more than anything else.” The first consideration in course maintenance, Tchir says, is trees that may come down on their own if they aren’t dealt
with. “You have to put golfer safety as your top priority,” Tchir says. “If there’s a tree that may become a hazard because it’s dead or dying, or overhanging limbs that could break, you have to take care of it. Then while you’re in there doing that work, sometimes you look around and think, ‘Hmm…

maybe if we cleared this out a little more, it’ll create a better vista here,’ or that it would improve air circulation, like we wanted to do at the second green, for example.” As if that wasn’t enough work for their volunteers to take on, they have also added new forward tees on both par-5s, “about 30 yards up from where they were,” Tchir says. “Those are long holes – especially No. 5, that’s a monster – so we decided to put in a little help.” If you’d like to get over there and try it out for yourself, whether for the first time or just to see what changes have taken place since you were last over, email me at miked@ campbellrivermirror. com and I’ll put you in a draw for a pair of passes.

Walking for a cure for arthritis MIKE DAVIES Campbell River Mirror
A
rthritis isn’t a disease. It’s a term used to describe a group of over 100 diseases and conditions characterized by inflammation in the joints or other areas of the body. It can affect any part of the body and it affects people of all ages and from all over the socio-economic spectrum. It’s Canada’s largest chronic health condition, affecting one in five of us, according to the Canadian Arthritis Society (CAS). And there’s no cure. But the CAS has been working for the last 70 years to change that, raising awareness and funds to research whatever science they can to help in the battle. And two local women have stepped up – literally and figuratively – to help them in that mission. Bev Schulte and Allison Enns both have first-hand experience with arthritis. Schulte has suffered with it herself, while Enns has watched its effects on her daughter, who was diagnosed at the age of eight. They have come together as co-organizers of the first ever Campbell River Arthritis Walk, scheduled for next Saturday, June 2, at Rotary Beach Park. “They’ve had one in Victoria every year that has served the whole Island,” Enns says, “but last year they did their first
one in Parksville, which was a success, so this year we’re doing one in Campbell River, too.” They’re not necessarily branching out in order to gather more funds, Schulte says. After all, many who would have donated in the past would have gone to events in major centres or just donated online. “I think it’s more about visibility and raising awareness,” Schulte says. “The more people we can get the word out to by doing these, the faster we’ll be able to get to the cure.” It’s also about changing the perception of who is affected by the condition, because it’s not necessarily just the elderly. Enns’ daughter, now 15, had early complications from arthritis which included cataracts, which needed to be surgically repaired. “One of the things that’s unique about juvenile arthritis is that it attacks the organs,” she says. “And without the extensive research that has already been done, we wouldn’t have found it in her eye exam. And that’s the kind of research we’re trying to support.” That’s a pretty different picture than the one most people have in their head of someone suffering from arthritis, which the pair thinks is an important part of the arthritis story to get out there. “It’s not necessarily a frail elderly person with gnarled
Bev Schulte and Allison Enns, co-organizers of the first ever Campbell River Arthritis Walk have their blue and white shirts and posters all printed up and are ready for next weekend’s event at Rotary Beach Park. Photo by Mike Davies/Campbell River Mirror hands,” Schulte says. “That’s the classic stereotype that everyone thinks about, so part of this is getting it out there that it affects highly-producing individuals of all ages.” Yes, you could say Courtenay’s Spencer O’Brien is a highly-producing individual. She was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at the age of 25, but with medication and physical training keeping their hold on her condition, she went on to win a gold medal at the 2016 X Games in Aspen
and competed for Canada in both the slopestyle competition and the first ever big air competition held at the Olympics just this year in PyeongChang. The first Campbell River Arthritis Walk begins with registration at 8:30 a.m. on June 2 at Rotary Beach Park, with either a one or five km walk to follow, depending on what each participant wants to do, returning to the park for snacks, pizza and music after.
Registration is $25, or free with $100 in donations raised by the participant. Because the walkers will be in various physical states, a representative from the BC Chiropractic Society will be on hand running the warmup and keeping close tabs on participants. To register or pledge a donation, head online to arthritis. ca. For more information on the Campbell River Walk next weekend, contact Enns at alleyis@icloud.com

Garden WEEKLY
WOOD DECKS: durable and affordable
Grasses and climbing plants are precious allies when it comes to shielding your patio from prying eyes.
Among all of the flooring options available on the market for decks, terraces and patios, treated lumber is unde-
niably one of the more popular choices, mainly for its reasonable cost and long lifespan. Often made from pine
CREATING PRIVACY
IN THE GARDEN AND ON THE PATIO Are you tired of letting your neighbours spy on your yard to their heart’s content? Beyond fences and hedges — which are practical for backyards, but not so much for urban patios — there are countless ways to shield your outdoor space from prying eyes. Here are a few to get you inspired. Natural screens Take advantage of the natural properties of plants such as sedges and climbers — the latter of which grow incredibly quickly and require little maintenance — to create a vertical garden. Clematis, honeysuckle and climbing roses, for example, will embellish
Friday, May 25, 2018 A31
your patio with their colourful flowers, while the dense foliage of vines, lichens and hops will create a magnificent screen of greenery. Walls, fences, lattices, arbours — there are tons of different structures your plants can climb on. F u r t h e r m o r e , sometimes it only takes one strategically positioned large plant (palm tree, hibiscus, etc.) to create a privacy screen. Something to consider! Smart arrangements Various arrangements can allow you to enjoy your backyard in perfect privacy. Consider awnings: a simple sheet
of fabric over your meal area or outdoor living space is enough to block the view of neighbours whose windows have a bird’s eye view onto your yard. Similarly, you could frame your outdoor seating with a wooden structure to create a sort of outdoor alcove. A nice folding screen, some decorative curtains suited for outdoor use or a booth with a very high backrest are all great ways to block outside views. With a little imagination, you can easily create private, secluded areas on your property.
or spruce, these pressure-treated wooden planks are equally suitable for ground-level patios and elevated balconies. Are you looking to complement your yard with a beautiful terrace? Treated wood might be exactly the building material you’re looking for.
Treated lumber is the perfect choice of material for a beautiful and durable deck your family can enjoy for years to come.
Easy to cut, carve and paint, treated lumber is the perfect choice of material for a terrace that is unique in design and resistant to insects and rot. In addition to its superior resistance, it’s also very easy to work with. For example, to preserve the natural beauty of the surface, you can stain or paint the wood in a colour of your
choosing. Furthermore, to ensure your deck remains in prime condition for years to come, you can apply a transparent, waterproof sealant available at any hardware store. Contrary to popular belief, wood is actually one of the more eco-friendly options available for deck flooring. Given their exceptional durability, wooden planks limit the number of trees chopped down each year. Additionally, wood is a reusable and biodegradable material that is highly regulated by environmental agencies worldwide. To build a timeless wooden deck of the highest quality, entrust your project to a professional carpenter!

David Gunner Scholtens July 30th, 1964-May 13th 2018 Dave was born to parents Hank Scholtens and Sophia Neass on July 30th, 1964 along side his twin brother Donald. Dave came into this world already stubborn and fighting something we all knew him for very well. Growing up our dad held many jobs and was a man of many trades and talents. Many of you know Dave for his beautiful cabinetry, and ability to take apart and rebuild anything put in front of him. Those who were fortunate enough to get to know Dave more personally, know he was much more than a jack of all trades. David had the courage and heart of a lion and was the most compassionate and loving man you could ever meet. Dave was a selfless and dignified man even to the end. Putting his girls and family first, he relocated to hospice when his health began to fail, but entering Yucalta did not slow down nor stop Dave from doing the things he loved. We will always remember our Dad’s workshop “hum” and ability to move anyone to stitches of laughter, even at the most unsuitable times. Dave is survived by his daughters Taylor and Alaysha, as well as his brothers Donald and Kevin, sister Monica and niece Amanda. We love you Dad, and will miss you more than words.

Michael J. Kelly
May 29, 1951 – May 13,2018 The family of Michael J. Kelly are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our beloved son, husband, father, brother and uncle on May 13th, 2018. Michael leaves behind his wife Laverne Kelly, mother Merle M. Kelly, sister Patricia McIntyre, sister Dianne Rueck and brother-in-law Carl Rueck, children Ava, Benjamin and Karl, and numerous nieces and nephews. He will also be missed by special friends Daryl Carson and Barbara McCowan Jackson. Michael was born in Benito, Manitoba to Merle M. Kelly and Thomas W. Kelly. During his high school years, he was a member of the Reach for The Top T.V. quiz team. He lived in Manitoba until 1968 before the family moved to B.C. Michael completed his secondary education at North Delta High and went on to UBC to become a Chemical Engineer. He worked in the pulp and paper industry in supervisory positions in Manitoba, New Brunswick and B.C. He later became superintendent of the CTMP Department at the new paper mill in Gold River, B.C. Michael was a member of the Lions Club in Gold River. He enjoyed playing Chess and had a special interest in gardening. He was an avid reader and had a personal library of over 5,000 books on numerous topics. He served as an officer in the Royal Westminster Militia for several years. Michael participated in caving and cave rescue seminars with his caving partner Paul Griffiths. In later years he enjoyed attending the opera in Victoria. The family would like to thank the doctors and nurses of Comox Valley Hospital for their care of and attention to Michael during this difficult time. Special thanks to doctors Schovanek, Silcox, Froese and Neufeld. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to scientific research on neurological diseases. A celebration of Michael’s life will be held at a later date.

Bash broom with us! Upcoming volunteer opportunity Following two May 12 broom bashing events, volunteers are invited to help BroomBusters, the Rotary Club and Wei Wai Kum First Nation on May 27 from 9 a.m. until noon. A communal lunch will follow cutting Scotch broom along the south side of Highway 19A between Dogwood Street and the entrance to Walmart. “We’re pleased to be part of this collective effort to protect the environment that we all treasure,” said Chris Roberts, Chief of the Wei Wai Kum First Nation. “I’d particularly like to thank the volunteers who work so hard to organize these activities and to promote awareness of this important work.” What’s the problem? Broom might be pretty, but… Well known in Scotland, evidence suggests broom was intentionally introduced on Vancouver Island

May is Invasive Species Action Month, and a good time to tackle some of Campbell River’s most unwanted, especially Scotch broom, which is currently in bloom. Photo by J. Leekie, Invasive Species Council of B.C. because of its cultural significance and perceived beauty. It quickly grew into thick infestations that smother conifer seedlings and pose a high wildfire risk. When its yellow flowers bloom in spring, Scotch broom also triggers allergies. What’s been done so far? Greenways Land Trust has a long history of recruiting volunteers and school groups to remove broom in environmentally-sensitive areas and parks such as along Myrt Thompson Trail beside the Campbell River estuary and at HaigBrown Kingfisher Creek.
