The upgraded section of theIsland Highway does pose a prob-lem to emergency respondersand the city is making excuses toavoid taking responsibility, saysone firefighter.
“I drive the route each day andmy position from day one is thatit’s a problem,” said Reid Whar-ton, president of the local fire-fighters union. “They’re tellingus to take a $600,000 fire truckand hop a curb – wow. I’m prettydisappointed the city would tellus to do that.”
City Manager Andy Laidlawtold city council last week there-designed section of Highway19A is not designed for a code 3response (lights and sirens) butdoes leave enough space for largefire trucks to go around pulledover traffic during an emergency.He added if need be, emergencyresponders could mount the highsidewalk curbs to get aroundother vehicles.
Laidlaw said he spoke with localemergency responders, includingfire, ambulance and police, andall parties agreed the road stan-dard, particularly the rock medi-ans near Simms Creek, is not animpediment.
Wharton said he was never con-sulted by the city and feels unionmembers, who drive the road ona regular basis, could have pro-vided the best input.
“Certainly, no one ever talkedto myself about it and as far as Iknow, the fire chief has never rid-den in a fire truck, so how wouldhe know?” said Wharton. “We’rethe people who do it every day. I

A Zeballos woman who stabbed her common-law husband in the
heart has been found not guilty of manslaughter.
Family and friends of Mar-guerite John gasped as B.C. Supreme Court Justice Douglas
Halfyard found her not guilty on Friday morning.
“…the Crown has failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused did not act in
self-defence…It follows that, when the accused stabbed Rus-sell John, she was not commit-ting an unlawful act,” said the
Zeballos woman not guilty of manslaughter

judge.There was no argu-
ment that the 33-year-old stabbed Russell John, 41, in the heart on the morning of March 7, 2009.
They had spent the previous night drink-ing, arguing and fight-ing in a trailer on the Ehattesaht First Nation Reserve.
At some point she kicked Russell out of the trailer and he went to sleep at his uncle’s home nearby.
In the morning, Mar-guerite awoke and was angry to find her trailer in disarray as well as her front door key missing.
Still drunk, she went to the house where Rus-sell was to “straighten him out.” Russell was sleeping, and was still impaired himself , when she slapped him to awaken him from his stupour. But he didn’t have her key and they began arguing again.
And then she stabbed him once in the chest. The knife missed his ribs and punctured his heart.
A pathologist tes-tified at trial that it wouldn’t have taken much force to inflict the fatal wound.
The defence offered no evidence at trial. But during the sum-mation, Marguerite’s
lawyer, Chris Massey, said that Russell had charged Marguerite and that’s when she defended herself.
Russell collapsed on the couch, bleed-ing profusely from the wound while Mar-guerite attempted to stop the blood loss and called 911.
“I stabbed him in the chest…he’s bleeding to death, we need an ambulance fast!…Rus-sell, wake up!” Mar-guerite said through her sobs, in an audio recording of the 911 call heard during the trial.But less than an hour later, Russell was dead.
Soon after, Margue-
rite was charged with murder, but that was later reduced to man-slaughter. She’s been on bail since then.
The night before the stabbing, she had inflicted a minor cut to his chest with a knife, and in June 2007, she had stabbed him in the chest with a large piece of glass.
For his part, Russell had four criminal con-victions for assault. Two were for assault-ing his former com-mon-law wife and one for assaulting Margue-rite in 2001.
The court also heard that he had choked Marguerite on three previous occasions.
The two had livedtogether, off and on,for 12 years and hadtwo children together.
In his decision, Jus-tice Halfyard saidthe Crown did notprove that Margueritewasn’t acting in self-defence and found hernot guilty on the singlecount of manslaugh-ter.
Marguerite criedafter hearing the deci-sion and embracedfamily and friends out-side the courtroom
“Now you can gohome and see yourbabies,” said onewoman as she huggedMarguerite.
think he’s just towing the line.”
Fire Chief Dean Spry was at last week’s council meeting and sat with Laidlaw at the speaker’s table in sup-port of the highway, but was not asked for his input from coun-cil.
Wharton also takes exception with Laid-l aw ’s c l a i m t h a t the highway is not
designed for emer-gency vehicles to pass at high speeds, with lights flashing and sirens blaring (code 3).
“It’s pretty ironic for the city manager to say that, when the Island Highway is a major thoroughfare to Willow Point and the south end of the city,” said Whar-ton. “I don’t mean to knock our volunteers but we’re making more and more trips down to Willow Point because the fact is, at the Willow Point vol-unteer fire hall, they’re having problems man-ning the truck. So our response time to the
Maryland Road area is 10 to 12 minutes and that’s unacceptable.”
Wharton said leav-i n g t h e h i g h w ay unchanged will mean a delay in response times. Council, based on Laidlaw’s recom-mendation, took no further action on the highway.
Further problemsWharton said as bad
as Highway 19A is, Dog-wood Street is worse. He said the problem is the pre-emption lights; a controller which sits above the traffic lights and is activated by an emergency vehicle’s
siren. When the vehicle approaches with lights and sirens, it triggers a green light.
“They don’t work properly,” said Whar-ton. “Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t and with the new one-way traffic system, all the traffic bottles up at the intersection.
“It’s so bad we try to avoid Dogwood and instead go down to Alder.”
Drew Hadfield, the city’s transportation manger, said the sys-tem is working as designed and there are “no issues as far as that goes.”
He added he has beendealing with the firechief and deputy firechief, not the firefight-ers union.
“The goal (of the pre-emption lights) is tomake the intersectionclear so it’s safe foremergency vehiclesto pass through andsometimes that takes abit of time,” said Had-field.
If an emergencyvehicle has triggeredthe green light, pedes-trians are given the ‘Donot walk’ sign but areallowed 10 seconds tocross, which is one ofthe delays emergencyresponders encounter.

Homeowner gives chase
Know anyone with an older model, dark brown car…with the rear window missing?
The vehicle was used by a pair of thieves who tried to steal downriggers from a boat on Sunday night.
According to RCMP, it was about 9:30 p.m., when a home owner in the 800 block of Alder St., noticed two males taking the downriggers from his boat. The owner gave chase as the thieves fled with one of the downriggers and tossed it into the back seat of the car. The owner then reached through the window, grabbed his downrigger and then used it to smash the rear
window of the car as the culprits fled.
Break-ins and thefts
A number of electronics items were stolen from a home in the 300 block of Westgate Road on April 13.
Police are still looking for the culprits who entered the residence through a patio door. The same day, police were notified that a black 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 had been stolen from Browns Bay Marina.
And on Saturday, around 5:15 p.m., Mounties were notified of a vehicle theft from the parking lot of London Drugs.
The thief gained access to the locked dark blue 1999 Lexus RX300 with
B.C. plate 679 JAM.
Vandalism and taggers
RCMP responded to complaints of vandalism in the area of 8th Avenue on April 12.
It was shortly before 9 a.m. when a resident in the 800 block of 8th Ave. discovered that a window in his motorhome had been broken by a small projectile – likely a pellet.
Officers later received a report of graffiti tagging at the rear of the Purolator building on 13th Avenue.
Later, officers responded to a report of youths in an abandoned house in the 500 block of 8th Avenue that had been repeatedly vandalized.
ALISTAIR TAYLOR/THE MIRROR
Bomb scareA Willow Point resident discovered a suspicious object lying on the street at the corner of Eardley and James roads at approximately 10 a.m. Saturday. RCMP offi-cers responded and secured the area, the item was photographed and the images were sent electronically to the Explosives Disposal Unit. Based on their findings, members of the Explosives Unit responded and seized the flare-like item (inset photo left, above police cruiser’s bumper). The explosive, which is frequently used in industrial applications, was taken to a remote site and detonated. The origin of the item is unknown, however, Campbell River RCMP suspect that it likely fell from a vehicle passing through the area.

The Comox Strathcona Waste Management (CSWM) service is excited to announce a limited time offer on the purchase of a Green Cone.
What is a Green Cone? A food waste digester that looks like a home composter but is much more. Takes all types of food waste - meat, dairy, bones, vegetables - basically everything
from the kitchen table. No need to turn it, or empty it more than once every few years. Using solar heat in combination with macro bacterial activity it breaks down waste
aerobically into nutrient rich water that is absorbed into the soil, and a very small amount of residue. An enclosed system means it doesn't attract vermin or any other animals. It's easy to install, the hardest thing is digging a shallow (2') hole. All it needs is decent
drainage and sunlight. Accommodates all of the food waste of an average family of four or five.
The “Green Cones” will go on sale Monday, April 18 for $120.00 including taxes. Residents can call 250-334-6000 or 1-800-331-6007 to place their order by no later than Friday, May 13, 2011. Green Cones MUST be pre-ordered and pre-paid. Call with credit card payment or pay in person with cash or cheque at 600 Comox Road, Courtenay.

The city is going back to its roots in looking at new options for invest-
ment in Campbell River.The city’s economy has been
founded on forestry, fishing and mining, three sectors that were at one time so lucrative there was no need for Campbell River to diversify economically.
But times have changed.“Now we are facing, because
of world economies, a different economic paradigm so we’re looking at options to re-identify ourselves so we’re much more resilient,” said Ross Blackwell, city land use manager. “One of the areas yet to be realized of its full potential is the agricul-ture industry.”
Blackwell said Campbell River was in part founded on agricul-ture, with a number of founders working in the industry.
The city wants to take a page out of history and is under-taking an agriculture plan to expose what Campbell River
has to offer in terms of land base.
Consultants working on the plan discovered Campbell River has many thousands of acres of land in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), which includes private and public lands that may be farmed, forested or kept vacant.
“We have a substantial amount of land classified as prime agri-culture land and it’s as good as land in the lower Fraser Val-ley,” said Blackwell. “We have this fabulous land base, it’s just not being used for agriculture. We have what we need to have a viable, flourishing industry that can create jobs.”
Not only is the value in jobs, but in better eating habits.
Locally grown food is more nutritious and flavourful than when imported, as food loses its nutrients each mile it travels.
Blackwell said more and more people are becoming aware of the value of buying food pro-duced closer to home.
“There’s a remarkable shift in the thinking of this. Before,
as a society, we went with mass produced food that was based on volume, not quality,” said Blackwell. “The flavours weren’t really there. But the flavour’s going to be far better, stronger and richer when you bring in fresh, local produce. It may look the same, but it will taste totally better.”
The agriculture plan should be complete by early summer and is designed for use by city staff, Rivercorp and possibly the Chamber of Commerce to help attract investment.
It will also lay the roadmap in terms of constraints, opportu-nities and next steps.
“It’s something that you cer-tainly will not see flourish overnight but instead grow over time,” said Blackwell. “Camp-bell River is at a crossroads and it’s a good time to embrace this industry.”
The public is invited to attend an open house to review and discuss the building blocks of the agriculture plan April 27 at the Sportsplex in Willow Point at 6 p.m.
City sowing seeds of economic diversity
KRISTEN DOUGLASCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Ro n E v e r e t t has centred his business
around the ‘100-mile diet’ concept.
Everett understands the value in locally-grown food and at his store, Local Market and Cafe, you will not find anything not pro-duced on Vancouver Island.
“I’m dealing with really, really local peo-ple,” says Everett. “And that means you’re eat-ing way healthier. I’ve learned that it’s not only healthy to support your neighbour but it’s healthy for your body.”
Everett, who is a log-ger by trade, opened his shop with the idea of selling fine crafted wood furniture and any other local prod-ucts people were will-ing to sell whether it be soaps, birdhouses or hats. Everett soon found his furniture was not a big seller but the food was.
“My whole focus was never to be a restau-ranteur, the idea was to support the commu-nity and give back,” he says.
He does that by giv-ing his business to local farmers. And in return, the customer is ensured a better prod-uct, without antibiotics or hormones injected into their meat.
Everett buys his bison from a farm off Hamm Road and beef, lamb, chicken, turkey and pork comes from the Comox Valley area. He also purchases beef off a farmer from Say-ward.
The eggs come from a family in Merville and the honey comes from a beehive on Mount Washington.
All the seafood found in the market comes from local fishers and the free-trade, certified organic coffee comes from Quadra Island.

Our Water Did you know that
water use in averageCampbell River triples
in summer time and that this compromises the City of Campbell River’s fi refi ghting
ability as well as increases operatingand capital costs?
What is the number one cause for increased
water use in summer?
A. Filling pools and hot tubs
B. Tourism
C. Leaks in the water distribution system
D. Ineffi cient lawn and garden watering
by residential customers
Surprise - 50 per cent of Campbell River
residents are not aware that lawn and garden
irrigation causes average residential water use to
increase threefold over winter use. Plus, 40 per
cent of residents are not aware that the summer
increase occurs at peak periods during the hottest
weather (The correct answer was D). At this rate of
use, demand exceeds water system capacity.
Recent surveys show that not everyone
understands the local reality of water supply and
over-use. Over the next weeks, the Campbell River
Mirror will showcase a series of articles to provide
surprising information on water effi cient lawns and
gardens.
Become well-informed about water issues in
the Campbell River area and help lead the move
toward effi cient water use. Coming topics include:
Brown, green or in between? A Matter of Inches,
Getting to the Root, Don’t Set and Forget and Are

local water conservation leaders (People Like You)
and protecting the high quality of Campbell River

Spring is in the air!How do I clean my pond and get my water garden up to snuff? Your fi rst step is a LARGE water change. Removing leaves, and pond muck that has accumulated over the fall and winter is very important to the health and beauty of the pond. Next, replace the foam in your fi lter, lubricate your pond fi lter gaskets, and possibly replacing the UV light is in order. UV bulbs must be replaced after 12 months of use. Even if the light is still on, the UV bulb is no longer effective. Replace the water you have removed from your pond using “Water Prep” for removing Chlorine and helping reduce the stress to the fi sh. Check all water return lines for any leaks that may have developed over winter, and plug it all in. Check your plants for growth and plan which you will need to re-pot this year. Give your pond a boost of good bacteria using “Bio-Booster” which will not only help your fi sh growth and intensify colors but it also makes your fi lter more effi cient, and use an appropriate amount of “Bio-Sludge” to help break down remaining leaves and muck. Now is the time to add “Barley Straw Pellets”. These will slowly break down over the next 3 months which will help control some algaes. Remembering to change 10% of your pond water on a weekly basis will also help reduce the amount of algae in the pond and remove harmful nitrates. Weekly dosing of “Bio-Booster” and “Bio-Sludge” along with your water changes will make your pond healthier and a pleasure to look at! Next step...FISH!

Does your jaw click when you open your mouth or chew? If so, this can be an early symptom of TMJ problems. The Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) is the joint that allows the jaw to move. It is located directly in front of the ear, and can be felt with your fi nger tips when opening and closing the mouth. Signs and symptoms of TMJ dysfunction can include pain, clicking when opening the jaw, inability to open the mouth fully, and headaches. Treatment can include manual therapy techniques to restore normal movement, education, modalities to reduce pain and infl ammation, exercises to improve muscular control, and acupuncture. Physiotherapists at Rehabilitation In Motion have advanced training TMJ treatment and other joint disorders.

Should I take my CPP at 60? It all depends on your personal fi nancial situation. With the new CPP rules, you must continue to contribute to CPP from age 60 to 65 if you are still working, regardless of whether you start taking your CPP payments. If you don’t need the money, but want to start the benefi t at 60, you can direct this amount to a monthly purchase of RRSPs to offset the taxes that will be owing at the end of the year. Taxes are not withheld from CPP so the amount is added to your gross income and could bump you up a tax bracket. Another option is to use the new cash fl ow from the CPP payment to build your Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA). This is a great way to build tax free savings for retirement income, for emergencies, or even for topping up your RRSPs should your income be higher than anticipated. As a rule, you should consult your fi nancial advisor for all options before deciding whether or not to take CPP payments at age 60.

Why should I bother with fl ea prevention? Campbell River has a temperate, humid climate which is very appealing to fl eas year-round. Many pet owners prefer to wait until their pets get infested with fl eas and then treat with a product to kill the fl eas. In the past when toxic dips, powders and collars were the only products available to kill fl eas, this was the best practice. Most modern fl ea products used properly have a very high safety margin and so monthly prevention is generally recommended over a more reactionary approach. Fleas have 3 life stages, the adult which lives on animals, as well as egg and larvae which live in the environment. The environment includes carpets, couches, beds and basically everywhere a fl ea infested pet might go. In 60 days a single adult fl ea can responsible for an infestation of 20 000 adult fl eas along with 160 000 eggs and larvae. By the time you notice fl eas on your pet, you could already have a big problem in your house. Flea allergy is the single most common allergy in dogs and cats. The more times they are bit by fl eas the more likely they are to develop an allergy problem. This is another reason to prevent rather than treat. Talk to your vet about the right fl ea prevention plan for your pet.

The eat-in cafe’s menu mirrors what’s available in the mar-ket.
“What you see in the market is what will be on your plate,” says Everett. “I was never a foodie, and I’m still not a foodie. My motiva-tion was to support my neighbours and show-case what we build and grow here.”

I get headaches while working for long periods at the computer. Is there a way to prevent eye strain while working on the computer?Assuming you do not have any known and untreated problems with your eyes, there are a number of things you can try:· Try closing your eyes and relaxing for one minute; or changing
focus by glancing across the room or out the window every fi fteen or thirty minutes to look at an object at least twenty feet away.
· Make sure any close-up work or computer screen is at least eighteen to twenty-eight inches away from your eyes.
· Position the top of your computer or television screen at or slightly below eye level.
· Arrange lighting in the area to minimize glare and refl ections.· Try changing to a lower screen resolution to allow for larger
text & icons.

If a herbal or nutritional supplement is natural does that mean it is safe?
It is a common misconception that herbal supplements are “safe” because they come from natural sources. But think about this - cyanide is natural and it’s not safe! Herbal supplements all have potential side effects and drug interactions too. Pharmacists have the training and the references to determine if these supplements are appropriate for you. We can let you know the proper dosage and let you know what potential side effects you may encounter, as well as make sure they don’t interfere with your regular medications. We can also look up clinical trial data to let you know if a product is truly effective or not.

When it comes to your RV water isthe enemy! And where we live there is a lot of it. When maintaining your RV the most important service to perform is the maintenance of your RV’s sealants. Water can and will get into most RV’s at one point or another, and when it does it may not be detected until it’s too late. The resulting damage can cost thousands to repair and can be a health hazard to those inside the RV. Most manufacturers recommend that you inspect your RV’s sealants monthly, but a good rule of thumb is to perform a thorough inspection of your RV’s sealants from top to bottom at least twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring. You want to look for cracks and missing sealant along all seams. At Bill Howich RV we offer a no charge sealant inspection year round, just give us a call and let us know when you would like to bring it by.

What kind of exercise do women need to build bone mass? I walk almost every day. To keep bone density at a healthy level you require strength training. This can only be accomplished by weight bearing exercise. Walking is a good aerobic workout but does not build bone mass. Many women do not feel comfortable in gyms where they feel they are being “judged”. Curves is designed just for women, of all ages. There are no weights to change, and the hydraulic cylinders provide excellent resistance to build bone mass, while getting an aerobic workout at the same time. A full body workout including warm-up, cool-down and stretch is accomplished in just 30 minutes. Many women who have never exercised are amazed at the results after just one month of working out just 3 times per week. Our “biggest loser” member has lost over 115 lbs, and all members are seeing great results combining their regular workout with Zumba class, as well as our lunch-hour boot camp. If you wish to have a Free Week no-obligation trial to see if Curves is right for you, phone us or visit our website.

I don’t want to take a statin or blood pressure drug. Can you help me get off these?
There are effective naturopathic remedies to lower cholesterol and optimize blood pressure. While changing medications you are monitored regularly and usually within 3-6 months the transition is complete. The absolute benefi t for men or women (who have never had a heart attack) of taking a statin drug over 5 years is preventing 1-2 heart attacks in 100 people. It is our job as physicians to give the patient the information and then support them in their choices.

I don’t own much, do I still need a will? Yes, if you have a small estate or very little money then it is even more important that you have a will. If you have a lot of money you can hire lawyers, afford to pay the additional court cost and other extra expenses. By having a will in place you can avoid unnecessary legal fees and more importantly delays. You can be sure that your estate goes to the benefi ciary than legal fees.

How do I know how much life insurance I need? Typically you need enough coverage to ensure your family can continue to live their current lifestyle and is not left buried in debt if the main breadwinner passes away. Paying off your mortgage, equity lines of credit and having at least $10,000 for fi nal expenses is essential. To this add balances owing on any additional lines of credit, credit cards, vehicle loans, student loans, and personal loans. Owning a personal life insurance policy designed to cover these debts, preferably for the remaining term of your mortgage, will eliminate most debt, and keep your family in their home. If children are still young and very dependent, it is recommended that you add to the insurance contract a multiple of earnings to provide replacement income to allow the surviving spouse to be able to focus on your family, and possibly their education to increase earning potential for future fi nancial security.

Now is a great time to look at investing in a vacation property in the United States. There are two ways to go about it. First you could fi nd a property and go through a US bank. The down payment is a minimum of 30%. The approval process is diffi cult, it can take up to one month, and I have seen clients become very confused with the terms and conditions of American mortgages. The paperwork required is very extensive. The other choice that most of our clients prefer is to refi nance their home in Canada if they don’t have the resources to pay cash. We have a wonderful homeline product that will allow you to access 80% of the value of your home, and you could choose to pay interest only payments or you could ‘lock in’ some or all of the balance at today’s low rates. You are essentially paying cash for the house by using your Canadian assets, therefore you have a smoother process. Many clients have their homelines set up in advance so that when they go on their house hunting trip, they are ready and able to make an offer. I am an owner of a property in the United States, I can offer you professional advice based on my personal experience.
How can I purchase a home in the United States when I live in Canada?

Vehicle accidents
A 20-year-old man was taken to hospital with unknown injuries after crashing his quad in a remote area near York Road on April 15.
And on April 16, around 10:30 p.m., police responded to a report of a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of the Island Highway and Hilchey Road.
A 32-year-old man attempted a left turn onto Hilchey, crossing the path of the oncoming vehicle. No one was injured and both vehicles had to be towed from the scene. Investigation revealed the 32-year-old driver was currently prohibited from driving and was charged.
Courses on kayaking skills will be offered by the city this spring.

EDITOR: Alistair [email protected]
Health care. Education. The Harmonized Sales Tax.There’s no shortage of hot-button issues clamouring
for government attention as a possible provincial elec-tion looms.
But there’s an even bigger elephant in the room, one that has been ail-ing for nearly a decade and by many accounts, is now in danger of col-lapsing. B.C.’s legal system is in big trouble.
Justice Denied, the five-week Black Press online investigation into the various components of the sys-tem, has revealed a precarious house of cards.
Provincial funding cuts dating back to 2003 have
reduced the number of sitting judges, fuelling a trial backlog that increasingly lets criminals go free because of unconstitutional delays. The result? More than 2,100 cases are now at risk of being tossed out of court due to waits that threaten to violate the accused’s right to be tried within a reasonable time.
Savvy defence lawyers are exploiting the dysfunction in the system to their advantage. Accused criminals – some charged with serious crimes such as impaired driving causing bodily harm – are getting away scot-free without having to face their victims or be account-able for their actions. The considerable efforts of police officers are being wasted, not to mention the taxpayer money used to pay them for investigations,
forensic work and testimony that are all for naught once the suspect walks.
But perhaps the hardest hit are the victims – regular people impacted by crime who have no choice but to rely on a deteriorating legal system for relief.
The verdict on the possibility of a quick fix is grim. B.C. Attorney General Barry Penner told Black Press he would like to provide additional dollars, but there’s only one pot of money to support myriad public ser-vices and indeed, only one taxpayer.
If Premier Christy Clark is serious about her “Put-ting Families First” platform, fixing B.C.’s debilitated justice system must be among her top priorities.

Fall election likely
Big city drivers complain when they’re stuck in the morning and evening traffic.
Here, in the relative remoteness of upper Vancouver Island, you can also get stuck in the Inside Passage waters a couple of times daily. But few people ever complain.
There are no honking cars and barking drivers beside the log boom sticks north of Seymour Narrows.
You might hear a barking sea lion or the put-put from a vessel’s diesel engine, but all else is quiet other than the rhythmic lapping of water against the hull.
It’s Monday night and we’re “stuck” at Elk Bay waiting for the tide to slacken through the treach-
erous Narrows. It’s no use trying to buck the tide either in the MV Aurora Explorer, a 135-foot landing craft operated by Marine Link Tours.
It’s better and safer to wait. Cheaper on gas too.
So we gather in the cosy lounge/dining area after a heroic feast of homemade lasanga and Caesar salad. Oh my gosh, there’s cake and cookies too.
“We’ll kill you with kindness!” says company owner Guy Adams, a moun-tain of a man with a sense of humour to match.
With no radio to fiddle with to pass the time – heck, we can barely get cell phone reception – the dozen-or-so passengers on board spend the hours
getting to know each other, mainly by telling stories and tall tales of the coast.
In was here, just above on the bluffs overlooking Elk Bay, that one of the biggest bombs in Hollywood history was made.
In the late ’90s, The 13th Warrior was primarily filmed in a pseudo Viking village, specially built for the occasion. I kind of liked the film, but it still lost $100 million.
Perhaps the producers should have stuck with the original title, Eaters of the Dead.
But the village exists now only in memory, like so many others along this working coast.
Other passengers recall the count-
less other village sites, built around commercial fishing, canneries, log-ging and mining. Most are long-gone too, visible only by the rusting rem-nants of civilization being overtaken and consumed by the bush.
We trade stories of heroic pioneers, legendary native leaders, flimflam men, and a host of other coastal char-acters whose histories appear in the many books crammed into the ship’s shelves.
And before you know it, four hours have slipped by with the tide. The deckhand, engineer and captain work together to get us going and we head south into the moon-lit night.
The B.C. legislature is getting set for a spring session from the last week of April through May.
Premier Christy Clark has kept her options open and held her cards close since winning the B.C. Liberal leadership in February. She announced Monday that she is seeking the nomination to fill the seat vacated by Gordon Camp-bell, with a byelection expected in May.
But a byelection would have had to be called by now to put Clark back on the front bench in time for the start of the spring session. And there are two legislative tasks that won’t wait: passing a $40-bil-lion budget for the fiscal year that has already started, and changing the format and date of the harmo-nized sales tax referendum that has been announced for June.
A spring session must begin with the new premier coaching from the sidelines, but assuming Clark wins in Vancouver-Point Grey, it sets up her triumphant return to square off with the new NDP leader in ques-tion period before the session ends in early June.
A mail-in ballot for the HST referendum will allow several weeks for responses to be sent in. The govern-ment now says it will be August before the result is known.

Clark has indicated she wants the HST question decided before a general election is called. Thus a Septem-ber vote becomes the most likely scenario.
The launch of TV ads by both B.C. par-ties is another sign of election preparations. Any new leader wants to take advantage of a honeymoon period that might be brief, and Clark’s upbeat ads with the tagline “this is just the start” set the tone.
NDP leadership can-didate John Horgan talks about looking forward to a campaign
where he hands out brochures with his picture, not Camp-bell’s. But the policy-challenged opposition has offered up another attack ad featuring, you guessed it, a pic-ture of Campbell on a cereal box.
For the B.C. Liber-als, the policy hits keep coming. First it was increasing the mini-mum wage, and now Clark’s “families first” machine is moving on BC Hydro.
Rich Coleman has a well-earned reputa-tion for getting things done and he has wasted no time since Clark assigned him
to the energy file. BC Hydro will continue with its application to raise rates nearly 10 per cent this year, but Coleman has begun a review aimed at paring back that and future increases expected to total 50 per cent by 2016. Coleman quickly deter-mined that delaying the imminent launch of BC Hydro’s smart grid project would be a false economy. Instead, he focused on an expen-sive seismic upgrade, to the Ruskin Dam in the Fraser Valley. A major upgrade to the John Hart Dam on the Campbell River will likely go ahead, since
the reservoir is also the city of Campbell River’s water supply, but Coleman wants BC Hydro to “restate its business case” for that and other big construc-tion projects.
The Ruskin project is budgeted at about $800 million and is the type of project that can encounter costly sur-prises when digging into the dirt. Coleman has directed BC Hydro to look at decommis-sioning the old dam instead.
Did he really “direct” BC Hydro? Here’s what Coleman told me.
“It’s still Hydro’s decision at the end of
the day I suppose, but certainly they’re going to have to report in to me on it, because I told them they have to.”
Coleman has also appointed three senior bureaucrats to find options for savings in BC Hydro’s plan, and to report back to him by the end of June.
That will give the gov-ernment enough time to craft a rate relief program for BC Hydro customers, just in time for September.

Fletcher: TV ads signal election preparations
In an effort to rejuve-nate Rivercorp, a new Chief Executive Officer has been announced for the organization.
Vic Goodman, who brings almost two decades of leadership experience, joins Riv-ercorp Monday, July 4.
Goodman wants to bolster Rivercor p, which has recently been criticized by city councillors for failing to do the job it was intended to do.
“I plan to build on economic and commu-nity efforts that have been made to date in Campbell River and continue its growth as a premier place to live, work and play,” says Goodman. “I will collaborate with local leaders, businesses and community organiza-tions to outline clear competitive advantages that will help area businesses and attract
visitors and investors to the region. I want Rivercorp to nurture regional pride, focus community economic development on sus-tainable principles, and create a culture of entrepreneurship in the community.”
Goodman brings a long list of experience to the job.
He has been a mem-ber of the Saskatch-ewan Food Processors Association Board of Directors, Director of Strategic Business Development at Sask-Tel, a venture capital broker, a strategic man-agement consultant and contract executive, and a consultant with the Business Develop-ment Bank.
Goodman holds Bach-elor degrees in politi-cal science and law from the University of Saskatchewan and a Masters degree in busi-
ness administration from the University of Victoria.
“I am very happy that Rivercorp has made another major step forward in revitalizing our economic devel-opment initiatives,” says Mayor Charlie Cornfield. “To have attracted someone with Mr. Goodman’s experi-ence and skills speaks well of our community and of the Rivercorp team, both staff and Board members.”
Goodman has worked extensively with small and medium-sized enterprises across western Canada.
He has led a large regional economic development organi-zation, the marketing makeover of a tourism- oriented multipurpose event complex and economic development projects with several First Nations clients
in Saskatchewan. Ben Chalmers, River-
corp Board chair, says the organization is glad to have Goodman on board.
“We are very pleased to welcome Vic Good-man to the Rivercorp team,” he says. “With the help of the River-corp Board, city and community stakehold-ers, Victor will set out an ambitious and com-prehensive three-year plan for Rivercorp with objectives and goals that will position Campbell River as an economic development leader on Vancouver Island.”
Goodman’s initial priorities include reaching out to Camp-bell River businesses and the community to familiarize himself with economic develop-ment needs, as well as gathering information to establish Rivercorp’s
goals for attracting and retaining business.
Working with the Rivercorp Board to develop a strategic plan for the orga-nization, Goodman expects to implement mechanisms to help Rivercorp act on good ideas from Campbell River’s business lead-ers and entrepreneurs. Goodman will con-tinue efforts already underway to improve how Rivercorp com-municates with the public, which include a newly-established quarterly newsletter and social media out-reach through Face-book and Twitter.
The Campbell River Economic Develop-ment Corporation, Riv-ercorp, is responsible for Economic Develop-ment, Tourism Camp-bell River & Region and the Campbell River Visitor Centre.

This year, reac-quaint yourself with the Easter story.
The congregation of Campbell River United Church invites you to join them in their worship services commemorating Jesus Christ’s final days, his crucifixion, and resurrection on Eas-ter morning. All are welcome.
The Maundy Thurs-day service on April 21 remembers the Last Supper with quiet, reflective prayers and songs in the Taize tradition. It will be held at 7:30 pm at the United Church.
A joint Good Friday service on April 22 at 10 am will also be held at the United Church where we will be joined by the con-
gregations of the St. Peter’s Anglican and Trinity Presbyterian churches.
Worship leadership will be shared by Rev. John Green from Trin-ity Presbyterian, Rev. Dr. Blair Haggart from St. Peter’s Anglican and Wayne Hughes from the United Church. A massed choir under the lead-ership of Cindy Tay-lor and accompanied by Nicole Taylor will present three musical offerings: “Jesus is the Living Stone”; “The Power of the Cross”; and “Deep, Deep, Love”. The combined voices of these three choirs are powerful and it will be excit-ing to share in this experience. Come and experience the “Power
of the Cross” on Good Friday.
The Easter service will be on Sunday, April 24 at 10 a.m. The United Church Choir has been working very hard to learn the Easter cantata “Come Walk with Me”, music by Pepper Choplin and words by Stan Pethel. The music is “richly beautiful” and “intensely intimate” and walks us through Holy Week to the resurrection of our Christ.
Composer Pepper Choplin explains, “I was striving to com-pose sacred music- music that conveys these profoundly sacred moments in Jesus’ life. I tried to carefully craft the music to convey the
hushed voices and soft light of his last Pass-over meal, the ten-sion and anguish of Gethsemane, and the paradox and power of the cross.” Come and walk this journey together with the con-gregation and choir of the Campbell River United Church.
The choir is led by Cindy Taylor and accompanied by Nicole Taylor.
Campbell River United Church is on the corner of Pine-crest and South Birch, just down the hill from Strathcona Gar-dens. Regular Sunday worship and Sun-day School are held weekly at 10 am.
For more informa-tion, phone the church office at 286-0431.

The Campbell River Singers are gearing up for their spring concert which covers genres from classical to musical theatre to jazz to spiritual.
The Campbell River Singers’ spring con-cert will appeal to a broad range of musi-cal tastes.
Selections for Look To The Rainbow, the choir’s spring concert, were chosen by con-ductor John Montgom-ery and span a range of musical genres.
There are light clas-sical pieces such as Alleluia and Cantate Brasilia! which gives a
contemporary Samba rhythm to traditional Latin text.
The Spinning Song will bring back mem-ories for those who took piano lessons as a youngster.
Traditional spiritu-als are given a new twist with Swing Low performed with a Doo Wop backdrop, while the well-known Battle of Jericho is a show-stopper with a stirring
arrangement by Mark Hayes.
Broadway is also rep-resented in Look to the Rainbow with a selec-tion from the musi-cal Finian’s Rainbow. Rounding out the pre-sentation is the Celtic inspired Dover Cliffs, a Swing/Jazz medley, and other jazz stan-dards.
Special guest for this concert is Fiddlejam, a diverse group of fiddle
players and accompa-nists, based in Comox ranging in age from six to ninety-six.
Mark May 1 on the calendar, call up a friend and come enjoy a fun afternoon of music and song. Tick-ets are available at the door, from choir mem-bers, or at Odyssey Computers downtown. The concert takes place at St. Peter’s Anglican church at 2 p.m.

Two new exhibits are at the Campbell River Art Gallery .
Artist Linda Findlay, who spoke at the gal-lery last week,takes the minutiae of life seri-ously. She goes all the way to the microscopic for her subject matter.
“When I was first introduced to images from the electron microscope I was cap-tivated by the delicate and complex beauty of single cell life,” she says. When news stories and images of virulent bacteria and viruses went public during the SARS outbreak, Find-lay was captivated by the dichotomy between
image and reality. T h e s e m a g n i f i e d
images of tiny, deli-cately beautiful life
forms revealed organ-isms that were tena-cious and deadly. She has embraced this
dichotomy in Passive Aggressive a collection of work that provides a visual metaphor for the unseen in our lives (April 15 - May 20).
Infor mation Sys-tem reveals Ontario artist Marijo Swick’s explorations of the rela-tionships between sci-ence, faith, destiny and choice.
H e r m u l t i - m e d i a paintings will be on exhibit in the Discov-ery Gallery (April 15 to July 1).
Swick experiments
with combinations of digital painting, con-ventional drawing and painting, graphic design, mixed media, found objects and printed text. The iden-tities of science and faith, are often seen in opposition, but Swick unites them in her paintings.
In all her work, Swick’s use of multiple media represents how the complex coding of DNA and the unique variety human experi-ence creates identity. Artist Linda Findlay brings her dissection of viruses
to the Art Gallery.

And the pitchPitcher Kelsey Cosgrove delivers a strike for the Seymour Services team as the bantam-midget girls fastball season got underway at Willow Point Park on Saturday morning. Catch the games at the “Homer Dome.”
The Campbell River Crush U18 girls volley-ball team captured the Island Club Champi-onship last weekend in Victoria.
Crush was unstop-pable in the first match against the Powell River Aces. Campbell River attacked and served with authority in winning easily, 25-4, 25-2.
Everyone played well, said coach Terry Philp. Megan Oakley, playing libero for an injured
Janine Branchi, did a great job on defense while Brechan Camp-b e l l we n t o n a n extremely long serv-ing run to take charge of the first set.
In the semi-final, featured the Crush knocked off Victoria 25-15, 25-12.

to the plan of being aggressive.”
Setter Rhaya Howich had an awesome day as she really hustled, ran a great offense and served very well.
The final featured Nanaimo and Crush. The two teams have battled in previous t o u r n a m e n t s a n d Nanaimo had really improved, so the local
girls knew it would be the toughest match of the tournament.
The match went three sets. In all three games, Crush was in a deficit and had to claw out wins.
The scores were 25-19, 19-25 and 15-11. In the third set, Camp-bell River was down 10-4 when Philp called a timeout because the girls were playing
really tight and mak-ing too many mental errors.
And then Crucsh got the side out as Keltie Pike went back to serving bullets against Nanaimo. This made it so difficult for Nanaimo to launch an attack. Kelsey Bergey and Brechan Campbell got a few key blocks that really frustrated Nanaimo. The last
few points included two unbelievably hard kills from power hitter Sophie Cameron who was determined to put that set away. Ashley Simpkins, the other power hitter, played amazing defense and was so steady all day.
The team will spend the next few weeks preparing for the pro-vincial and national championships.
“We have lots to work on, but the girls are really excited to be Island champs,” said Philp.
You can see the girls in action tonight (Wednesday), when they take on the Tim-berline alumni squad which captured the provincial high school title in 2007. Game time is 6 p.m. in the Timber-line gym.

The Campbell River Judo Club (CRJC), which has been a cor-nerstone of the Camp-bell River sports scene since 1966, has a new best friend in Grieg Seafoods.
Grieg’s has contrib-uted $10,000 to the Campbell River Judo Club’s building expan-sion project.
It became apparent several years ago, that the CRJC was out of space to accommodate all of the students and classes that were need-ing more mat space to workout properly. So an initiative was launched to increase the size of their build-ing and double the mat/workout area.
Through a grass-roots fundraising effort from instruc-tors, students and committed parents, a total of $28,000 was raised. Under a pro-vincial government grant program, this amount was prom-ised to be matched by government gaming funds.
However, when gov-ernment funding com-mitments were left unfulfilled, CRJC was left on the hook with a half-built, unfinished and unusable expan-sion that had depleted all of their funds raised by volunteers simply to get it to the unfinished stage.
A couple of parents of kids involved at the CRJC presented the cause to Grieg Seafoods as a possible candidate for some sort of corporate sponsorship.
Grieg Seafoods stepped up to the plate, deciding that the Campbell River Judo Club was a worthwhile invest-ment into the com-munity’s youth and sports programming and committed the $10,000 towards the completion of the club’s unfinished
building.The executive of
CRJC are ecstatic over the magnitude of this unexpected and most appreciated gift, which seemed to appear out of the blue.
The CRJC’s mis-sion has always been to provide whole-some instruction in the discipline of the martial fighting art of judo but it goes far beyond that, says club president Paul Judson Stobbe.
“I grew up here in
(Campbell River as a typical teenager, doing typical teenage things. Looking at life from the adult side of things, I can hon-estly say that being involved in the judo club at that age kept me from a whole life of trouble. The life lessons gained from judo go far beyond simply how to fight. The discipline and structure provide a building block for how to and how to not confront life as well
as being an outlet of physical exertion that is unequaled in any other sport.”
Judo parent Monica Stewardson says of her son Quin’s involvement in the club, “Quin’s enjoy-ment of judo has been due in large part to his instructors, who are able to motivate the beginners by push-ing them to work hard and learn the skills of the sport while at the same time maintain-ing a level of fun in the classes. There is a genuine family atmo-sphere at the club and we look forward to getting to know more of the members. It has been great to see Quin’s confidence grow over the season, and the pride he feels when he achieves each milestone in his train-ing.”
Another parent, Lorna Hallson says, “I am inspired by the judo club and this donation.
“In this challenging, changing global econ-omy it is good to know that an international corporation such as Greig has this level of dedication to this com-munity.
“Now, in times when deep financial cuts greatly impact the education, health and future of our kids, Grieg has stepped in. Grieg’s contribution
means more space, and it means the talented volunteer instructors can focus more on the kids.”
Judo is a natural sport for kids – both boys and girls. Kids love to roll, tumble, play and wrestle.
Judo is all this and more. Judo adds struc-ture and intelligence to play. CRJC is an inclusive club with good instruction in a safe and respectful environment.

Every woman living in Campbell River has the right to live without violence. Our provinces’ 17th annual Prevention of Violence Against Women Week, April 17th-23rd, is a time for the women and men of Campbell River to step forward to change the social attitudes, beliefs and behaviors that allow violence to continue. Ann Elmore Transition House, Community Based Victim Services, Stopping the Violence Outreach Program along with CR Women’s Centre will be hosting the “clothesline project” at the SPIRIT SQUARE on Shopper’s Row Thursday April 21st from 10am to 4:00pm. We invite everyone to come down to view this powerful display, or bring your own T-shirt down to be included on the “clothesline”.
With thanks to our sponsor SERENDIPITY IN THE GARDEN, we are able to provide people with free hotdogs, chilli, coffee and goodies during this event. The clothesline project is a powerful and moving display of T-shirts hanging on a clothesline for public display. Survivors of violence and/or families and friends of victims put their messages on colored t-shirts that depict various forms of violence.. The message may be a statement against any kind of violence or a statement of hope for the future. Again this year we have the white sheet with “These Hands Don’t Hurt”. This is an opportunity for non-abusive males to trace their hands in support of
living violence free. Every day, women in our community are assaulted, abused, intimidated, harassed and stalked – often by someone they know. Living violence free is not a privilege, it is every women’s right Prevention of Violence Against Women Week presents us all the opportunity to do our part to help build a violence-free future for all people of Campbell River affected by violence It is critical that women who
are experiencing violence in Campbell River know they can get personal, confi dential help at the services listed here

Bursaries offered by Noon Rotary Club
The Campbell
River Rotary Club Foundation (noon club) has announced that it will have $8,000 in bursary funds this year to aid Campbell River
students to continue their education.
These funds are budgeted from the clubs income from bingo games and will be limited to $1,000 per student.
It is possible that additional funds may be granted to students from the regular investment income from the
foundation’s capital fund.
Eight bursaries of $1,000 each will be awarded. Bursary recipients are selected on the basis of scholarship combined with need. A good quality student who has been unable to qualify for scholarships from
other sources may be eligible. Funds may be granted to aid in attending college or university for first, second, third or fourth year studies.
Applicants who wish to attend trade or vocational schools, as well as adults who wish to continue their
education, will be considered.
Eligibility for bursaries from the foundation requires that the applicant be a resident of Campbell River and a graduate of a District 72 high school.
The Campbell River Rotary Club Foundation was set
up to administer the permanent fund that has been established for the funding of bursaries.

applications. Print the application and fill it out completely and mail to Chairman, Bursary Committee, Box 72, Campbell River, BC. V9W 5Z9. Applications may also be picked up at Above Shore Dental Clinic, 97 South Island Highway, phone 250-286-0088.

This Thursday, Timberline will host its
first Environmental Stewardship Day.
According to Kevin Harrison, principal of Timberline, the purpose of the day is to raise awareness around environmental issues and connect student and staff to the school’s steward-ship initiative to “build a healthier environment, a stron-ger community and a
better world.”The day starts with
hot chocolate, coffee and goodies donated by Tim Horton’s in the cafeteria foyer. At 9 a.m. everyone will gather in the gym. This will be followed by keynote speaker Zach Whyte. At 9:30 a.m. there will be sev-eral draws for prizes and then everyone will be off to their first presentation of the day.
Clay Carlson, one of the chief organizers of the event says, “I have been amazed at the generosity of the community in step-ping forward to bring their environmental expertise into our school. Many of these people have taken time off work and have travelled from afar just so they can present their message to our students, staff and community.”
Carlson says that about 25 guests will be doing presenta-tions at the school on Thursday. A highlight
on Thursday morning will be a presenta-tion in the theatre by Campbell River’s own Damien Gillis. Gillis is a B.C. documentary film maker with a focus on environmen-tal and social justice issues related to water, energy and saving Canada’s wild salmon stocks.
At 11:30 a.m., stu-dents, staff and com-munity members will be treated to a barbeque in the court-yard and cafeteria sponsored by Save-On Foods. There will entertainment and more draws during this time.
Starting at 12:30 p.m., students and staff can choose from several outdoor activi-
ties that include beach study and clean up, estuary canoeing, for-est clean up, building an edible schoolyard and more. There will also be an environ-mental film festival that will include David Suzuki’s new film Force of Nature.
The day will end with everyone meet-ing in the gym at 2:15 to tour the Eco Fair (open all day to the public) and take part in the major draws that include a com-muter bike from Pedal Your World.
So drop by Timber-line’s Environmental Stewardship Day to find out more about environmentally friendly products at the Eco Fair that runs all day in the gym. The public can also view Force Of Nature at 7 p.m. in the Timberline Theatre. Tickets are $5 at the door with all proceeds going to eco-friendly projects.
Call 250-923-9500 for information.

Managing Your Money
Debt danger! – know the warning signs and solutions
If your debt load is heavier than you want it to be, you are not alone. According to Statistics Canada, Canadian household debt-to-income ratios have reached record highs – ranging above 148 per cent1, which means that Canadians owe $1.48 for every dollar of disposable income they have. Here are a few strategies for lightening your load. Take charge of your cards A high credit card limit can be a bene t or a trap – if it in uences you to buy more than you can afford. Spend more than you can pay off each month and the interest – often at rates more than 20 per cent – really builds up on the balance. The key: pay off your credit card balance each month. You’ll avoid debt and take full advantage of any reward points offered by your card(s). Check your impulses That giant TV certainly looks great – but do you really need it? The key: Think before you buy, weigh your options and make prudent purchase decisions. You’ll avoid escalating debt and lingering buyer’s remorse. Take command of your life Establish a realistic strategy for saving toward your most important life goals. The keys: First, reduce ‘bad’ debt (credit cards). Explore debt consolidation and a monthly debt reduction plan. Second, start an emergency reserve fund, perhaps in a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA).
Third, protect your income and family with life, critical illness, and disability insurance. Fourth, fund your children’s education with Registered Education Savings Plans (RESPs). And a very important fth, fund your retirement by contributing to a Registered Retirement Savings Plan. You can even pay off some of your debt or add to your savings with the tax refunds you’ll get. Protect your credit rating Be sure the information in your credit report is accurate by checking it at least once a year and reporting any inaccuracies. (The two major Canadian credit rating/reporting agencies are Equifax Canada, Inc., www.equifax.com. and TransUnion Canada, www.transunion.ca.) The keys to maintain a good credit score: • Establish a credit history by, for example, applying for a credit card that you use for monthly expenses and paying off the balance each month. Married couples should have credit arrangements for each spouse so they have their own credit history.
• Be careful about co-signing another person’s loan. By doing so, you accept responsibility for the debt and the information is included on your credit report. • Pay bills on time. Pay just one day late and it appears on your credit report as a late payment. It’s better to pay the minimum than miss a payment. • Limit your credit. Every time you apply for credit it is noted on your credit history, even if you never use it. Lightening your debt load, saving more, planning for a nancially secure future – whatever your goals, your professional advisor can help you get there.

There’s fun and unique attractions for an entire 22 weeks, each Sunday from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m.
Each market day is different, depending on what’s in season for the many farmers, and what’s new with the many artists and vendors who bring you their very best.
There’ll be lots of dif-ferent vendors all sum-mer, everything from hand-painted furniture to glass works, from metal art to smoked fish, from stone work to garden decorations, it’s all here.
That’s without men-tioning the bakers and their fresh bread and pastries, the seafood, the certified organic beef, lamb and poul-try and that wonderful line-up of free musical entertainment, some-one dif ferent each week.
This market was once described as “Campbell River’s own social network” and how true that is. It’s a wonderful opportu-nity to come down and meet your friends over fresh coffee or a cup of tea, down at a fabulous ocean front location.
Feel like a Sunday walk?
Don’t stay home and be left out. Join the rest of the town down at
the Pier Street Farm-ers Market. Look them
up online at pierstreet.com.
They’re coming back on Sunday, May 1.

PROMO CHERI P/UP
Canada celebrated National Wildlife Week last week.
Each year a new theme is chosen to honour the work of Jack Miner who was one of the founders of Canada’s wildlife conservation move-ment. Starting in 1947, a week was set aside to draw public aware-ness to the need to con-serve our wil-derness and the wildlife that inhabit it.
Although we have made progress from the conception of this initia-tive we still have a very long way to go. Many of our ecosystems are in jeopardy and we have seen climate changes as a result of the way we have run our lives and econo-mies.
This year’s theme spotlights our forests and encourages us all to go exploring in one of these amaz-ing places. We are so fortunate to live on Vancouver Island in a very unique geo-graphical and ecologi-cal area known as the Pacific maritime eco-zone which stretches from the tip of Wash-ington State north to Alaska.
The Pacific coastal mountains rise steeply from fjords and chan-nels that were created by retreating glaciers leaving many areas isolated. This area in geological terms is still young and part of the “Pacific ring of fire” making it prone to earthquakes and hot springs as the magma is still close to
the earth’s surface. Because of the inac-
cessibility of much of the rugged terrain, the west side of Van-couver Island is home to some of the tallest and oldest trees and also to the deepest fiords.
In addition, due to the unique climate, it is also one of the wet-
test areas in the world. Due to the proximity of the vast expanse of ocean the climate is much cooler in the summer and milder in the win-
ter than the rest of Canada.
The other factor that influences the climate are the coastal moun-tains which block most of the precipi-tation from moving inland which results in some areas receiv-ing up to 4,000 millil-itres’ or 160 inches of rain in one year. It is a wonder that anything can thrive in this wet, damp climate and on first impression often the forest seems to be devoid of life but in reality it is home to a diverse and interde-pendent ecosystem.
The coastal rain-forests are just one type of forest found in Canada; by far the largest type of forest is the boreal which starts in B.C. and expands across most of the central part of the country. Having visited Tofino many times it is probably one of the best areas to appreciate just how intricate a forest is.
Be sure to make
a stop in Cathedral Grove on the way to see some gigantic trees, or visit the old trail in the Pacific Rim National Park. The most dominant trees found in the old growth rain forests are the Douglas fir, cedars, Sitka spruce, hemlock and yews; some of these trees can grow to be up to 70 meters tall and as old as 750 years. The old growth for-est is always grow-ing producing more wood, needles, roots and more plant life, this is due to the cli-mate which rarely freezes and allows growth during other forests’ dormant winter months. This continuous growth allows them to store vast amounts of water in their sapwood to be used in times of drought.
These vast trees are home to many wildlife species and some that are endangered like
the marbled murrelet, a sea auklet that nests up on a tree branch in a moss nest hidden from view.
On the east side of the Island, there are other unique forests especially in the gulf Islands and the Saan-ich Peninsula which are both part of the Maritime eco-system supporting unique forests of both Gary Oaks and Arbutus trees.
However, only half-a-per cent of the original forests still remain. Our forests not only provide a per-fect habitat for a vari-ety of birds, animals, amphibians, reptiles and insects, they also support the shrubs and other plant life that sustains them.
We all need to respect the forests that have taken thousands of years to evolve, some forest types risk disappearing forever due to past careless-ness on our part.

Conservative sign scam
The John Duncan campaign office was notified that there is an individual calling the public seeking donations for the John Duncan campaign and soliciting money for campaign signage.
This individual is saying that they can only accept cash or credit card, no personal cheques.
“This individual is not associated with, or a member of the John Duncan Campaign team,” Michelle
Yao, director of communications for the John Duncan campaign. “We find this completely unacceptable. As soon as we heard about this we notified the RCMP. The authorities are looking into this matter.
“We want to ensure that the public is aware of this fraudulent activity and that no one is taken advantage of.”
If you have any information regarding this issue contact the local RCMP 250-286-6221.
Liberal sign woes
A Mike Holland Liberal campaign sign found burnt to embers April 7
isn’t an attack on one campaign or candidate, but on all candidates and the democratic system itself, says Holland, the Liberal
candidate for Vancouver Island North.
A Liberal campaign volunteer was repairing and installing campaign signs when he found the charred remains of what had been a Holland campaign sign near the corner of Hamm Road and the Old Island Highway, between Courtenay and Black Creek.
“These kinds of attacks have no place in a country such as Canada, where we welcome and encourage free, open and
civil debate on the important issues facing the nation,” says Holland. “I’m confident that my fellow candidates in Vancouver Island North will join me in condemning this this kind of behaviour.”
Family farms vital for a smart economy
A healthy
agricultural sector is a key element of a smarter economy, according to the Green Party of
Canada’s platform. Local Green
Party candidate Sue Moen called for a new Canadian agriculture policy emphasizing organic, local food production.
Greens are also advocating a move away from subsidizing costly agro-chemicals, industrial food production and genetically modified (GMO) crops. The Green Party would cut all federal biotech funding to Agriculture and

Creative Alternatives to Easter Egg Hunts Coloring Easter eggs, hiding them and hunting for them has been a holiday staple for generations. Every now and then, Easter celebrants desire something different to make this year’s fun unique. There are several different ways to celebrate Easter that don’t have to involve hidden eggs. Try out these ideas for some enjoyment. • Pin the tail on the Easter bunny: Make a variation on the donkey game by drawing (or buying) a picture of a bunny. Glue some cotton balls to a piece of cardboard to make tails, using double-sided tape on the back. Spin kids around and have them try to attach the tail • Treasure hunt: Instead of children racing around to fi nd hidden eggs, parents can draw up a treasure map that takes the children, via different clues, to a special treasure hidden. It could be
a chocolate bunny or a basket of treats. • Who Am I? Print Easter-related phrases onto cards that then attach to a headband or hat with a small piece of tape or Velcro-type material. The person has to guess the word (without seeing what it is) by the clues others provide. • Easter crafts: Scour the craft store for wooden eggs, crosses, baskets, and similar items. Purchase colored pencils or water colors and encourage children to decorate their items. This can keep children busy after the meal when adults want to socialize. • Relay races: Enjoy any number of outside games (weather permitting), including relay races with the family. • Fashion show: Little girls can model their Easter bonnets and frilly dresses for a family audience.
• Lucky duck: Parents can create the carnival game at home by marking a painted dot under a few of several rubber ducks that are afl oat in a bucket, bathtub or kiddie pool. The children who pick a duck with a mark on the bottom win a prize.

Natalia HutchinsNatalia HutchinsAugust 31, 1968 - August 31, 1968 -
April 21, 2007April 21, 2007One day I looked in the mirror, but did not see myself, though I saw a familiar face I had not seen in years, that was the day of realization. I realized that though I had very few years with you, you still had the biggest impact on my life, you made me who I am, the only person I could ever dream to be like. I'm told almost everyday, "You are you're mother", and to me, that means the world. I still think about you everyday and miss you more than ever, but no matter what happens, you'll always be my mom, and I'll always cherish that. I love you, forever and always, Angels on your pillow, sleep tight, don't let the bed bug's bite. XOXO, Love Karis

“Here in Vancouver Island North, agriculture and agri-business play a key role in our local economy
and community. If we are to preserve that, we need a government with a fresh, sustainable vision for our agriculture sector. A Green vision,” said Moen. “We must change our farm support payments to reward smaller and family farmers for staying on the land and allow new farmers access to land.
“Value-added processing including local abattoirs, canning and freezing facilities,
greenhouses using renewable energy, among other initiatives, responsible waste management, and support for worker and producer cooperatives are essential to increase local food self-sufficiency.”
Leonard: Be clear on the oil tanker ban
On the one-year anniversary of the oil spill
disaster in the Gulf Coast, Vancouver Island North NDP candidate Ronna-Rae Leonard is calling on Conservative John Duncan to be clear about his position on a ban on oil tankers along B.C.’s north coast.
“At an all candidates’ meeting last week in Port McNeill, Duncan indicated that he agreed with all the other candidates that we should ban oil tankers along our north coast,”
said Leonard. “But in a column printed in one of our northern papers on the same day, he said something very different.”
In the April 14, 2011 edition of the North Island Gazette, Duncan rebuffed calls for a tanker ban, writing “Our Conservative party
has no plans to re-open the 1988 Exclusion Zone on tankers travelling between Alaska and Washington State.”
Duncan Conservatives also voted en masse against a New Democrat motion to support a tanker ban, Leonard said.
And on Sunday in
Vancouver, Stephen Harper said that the Conservatives would refuse to legislate a tanker ban on BC’s north coast.
“Either Duncan disagrees with his leader or he misled the people of Port McNeill,” said Leonard. “Once again we see him waffling on issues.”

Two new city staff positions
had to be justified in front of
council Wednesday, the third day
of budget deliberations.
Council got hung up debating
the addition of a second custo-
dian for the Community Centre to
address safety concerns related to
working alone.The $77,000 per year position
was added to help support the
custodian working alone after
office hours who’s had to deal
with fighting and public drunke-
ness (see story on page A5).
“We had some very, very close
calls,” Ross Milnthorp, city parks,
recreation and culture manager,
told council. “We believe this
position is integral to the safety
of workers and customers.”
He said a joint health and safety
committee originally took a num-
ber of steps to fix the problem
including setting up cameras
and setting alarms on the doors
of the Community Centre. In the
end, the committee felt the best
solution would be to add a second
custodian.Coun. Claire Moglove acknowl-
d d that having the transit
their child on a bus that ends
up where it does now instead of
at the former bus shelter (Tyee
Plaza) which was not a very nice
place,” he said.The second additional city staff
position is a $84,000 per year dep-
uty clerk, a position mandated by
the city.City Manager Andy Laidlaw
said the position needs to be in
place in order to maintain opera-
tions. Peter Wipper, who took over the
position of city clerk after Bill
Halstead retired last year, said
a few months ago while on holi-
days, he was called in to work to
sign papers that were time sensi-
tive. If the city had had a deputy
clerk at the time, they could have
signed the papers in Wipper’s
place.

EARTH DAY
Helping the road to recoveryRecently Coastal Community Credit Union staff and management – (from left) Di Kennedy, Heather Laidlaw, Stacey Marsh (Campbell River Hospital Foundation), Francois Egan, and Shauna Helson – paid a visit to speech pathologist Cathy Silversides and her innovative piece of equipment – the pentax flexible endoscopy unit with digital recording capabilities. Silversides has been with Campbell River Hospital since 2009 and is thrilled to have this new equipment to help her patients begin the road to recovery and to manage chronic conditions such as Parkinson’s, MS, stroke and anyone who suffers from throat and swallowing ailments. Before this equipment purchase, Silversides had to accompany patients to the imaging department to swal-low barium to diagnose larynx and swallowing function. That was good, but this is better for patients who are too medically fragile to be transported and for those who cannot tolerate swallowing barium by providing a real time, quality view, of the inner working of the throat and how it is working, or not working. CCCU staff and management raised $600 over one month of Casual Fridays and came down to the rehabilitation unit to get a firsthand look at where their dollars went, how important the equipment is, and how it is appreciated by the staff and patients alike.

A winter landslide on the Canyon View Trail has prompted the prov-ince to look at improv-ing the popular hiking trail.
The section of trail washed out by heavy rain on Christmas Eve has been repaired and has BC Parks consider-ing further upgrades.
“Given the popular-ity of the trail we are hopeful of completing other trail improve-ments on this west
quarter of the Canyon View Trail in the next few years to address older boardwalks, stair structures and improve drainage,” said Brent Blackmun, Nootka area supervi-sor for BC Parks.
Many of the old wooden structures are beginning to rot and with such a wet climate, portions of the trail are subject to flooding and land-slides.
Visitors to the Can-yon View had to navi-gate around a three-foot wide washout for nearly three months after a chunk of trail on the north side of the Campbell River, halfway between the John Hart Generating Station and the logging bridge, came down.
In March, BC Parks unveiled a new 100-metre section of trail, above where the land-slide occurred, with improved trail surface and two sets of stairs on either side of a small boardwalk.
The work came at a cost of $15,000.
“There is a slight grade increase in order to skirt above the area affected by the land-slide,” said Blackmun.
Elsie Johnsen, who has walked the trail nearly every day for years, said she appre-ciates BC Parks’ quick work in fixing the trail.
“They did a wonder-ful job,” said Johnsen. “It’s great, now you can go all the way around again.”
