PAUL RUDAN/THE MIRRORChinook salmon smolts spill out of a hose and into a seapen at the head of Phillips Arm. Approximately 48,000 salmon were released Monday in an effort to create a self-sustaining run of chinook in the Phillips River and lake, located on the mainland coast.

Journey begins for Phillips chinookPAUL RUDAN

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

In the shadows of snow-capped peaks, Gord Madill navigates a winding dirt

road through thick forest in a flatbed semi loaded with tanks carrying 48,000 chinook salmon

smolts.“This is not for the feint of

heart,” announces the driver after finally reaching the lakeside at the head of Phillips Arm.

The final road to their home waters is the most precarious in the long journey for these year-old salmon. They represent the

future of Phillips Lake chinook runs and no one rests easy until they are safely back in the water.

“Come back big!” says Rupert Gale, president of the Gillard Pass Fisheries Association, rais-ing a toast with a cup of sparkling apple juice.

It’s late Monday afternoon and

Gale is breathing easier as the salmon swim and jump in their temporary netpens, and so is Carol Schmitt.

She’s been up since 2:30 a.m. when Madill pulled his rig into the Omega Pacific Hatchery, just west of Port Alberni.

The Campbell River Hospice Society is going whole hog by holding a raffle for a brand new motorcycle, besides other prizes.

This summer the society is holding a major raffle for three top prizes of:

1st prize - 2011 Suzuki Boulevard C50T (VL800) Motorcycle (sponsored by Boat-land);. 2nd prize - 58” Samsung TV and BlueRay DVD Player (sponsored by Madman McKay); 3rd prize - 10” Single Beveled Miter Saw (sponsored by Quality Foods).

Starting Friday, April 15 until August 6, you will have an opportu-nity to purchase your raffle tickets, one for $10 or five for $20, through the Hospice Society’s office (301 Dogwood Street), at

Boatland, or at Mad-man McKay’s.

The motorcycle is currently on display at Boatland (3125 North Island Highway) and it will also be on dis-play at the Hospice Society’s 10th Annual Angel Rock Benefit and Dance on Saturday, May 7. If you would like to purchase tickets for the raffle or attend Angel Rock, contact the Hospice Office.

More information on the Raffle and about Hospice can be found on their website: www.crhospice.org

All proceeds from the raffle and Angel Rock go back to the Society, assisting them to con-tinue providing impor-tant services including their dream of making a Hospice House in Campbell River a real-ity.

Final figures

Nearly one month after budget discussions began at City Hall, the city has its final 2011 budget figures calculated.

Council entered into the budget process with a $1.87 million deficit but after millions of dollars in cuts were made over the past month,

council created a $275,615 surplus for this year. Dollars returned to the city by the Strathcona Regional District for a tax levy error helped, injecting $305,500 into the budget as did new construction ($339,392), and a 2009 budget surplus ($138,768).

The biggest impact to the budget though was the $3.6

million cuts which included cancelled projects and reduced operating expenses.

The city’s operating department and the parks and recreation department had more than $260,000 taken out of the two budgets combined.

The city manager’s travel budget was reduced and the

summer student positions chopped down from six to four. Council also cut out expensive studies and strategies such as a $22,000 communications survey.

Laura Ciarniello, the city’s interim corporate services manager, says the reductions will not have a big impact on the community.

Vancouver Island Nor th voters can choose from six candi-dates to represent them and the rest of Vancou-ver Island North dur-ing the May 2 election.

Conservative can-didate John Duncan, Green Party candidate Sue Moen, Indepen-dent candidate Jason

Draper, Liberal can-didate Mike Holland, Marxist-Leninist can-didate Frank Martin and New Democratic Party candidate Ronna-Rae Leonard have all confirmed with Elec-tions Canada their intention to run in the riding.

The amount of can-didates competing for votes in the riding has increased by one from

the 2008 election, when Duncan, NDP incum-bent Catherine Bell, Green Party candidate Philip Stone, Liberal candidate Geoff Fleis-cher and Draper com-peted for the position.

Conservative Party of Canada — John Duncan Incumbent Duncan, was first e l e c t e d to Par-liament in 1993, and re-e l e c t e d in 1997, 2000 and 2004. Prior to 2006, Duncan served as oppo-sition MP and held sev-eral critic portfolios, including Inter na-tional Trade, Natural Resources and Indian Affairs and Northern Development.

In 2010, the Camp-bell River resident was named Minister of Indian Affairs and Norther n Develop-ment, Federal Inter-locutor for Métis and Non-Status Indians, and Minister of the Canadian Northern

Economic Develop-ment Agency. Dun-can supports Stephen Harper’s five-point Conservative platform which focuses on cre-ating jobs, supporting families, eliminating the deficit by 2014-2015, making streets safe and standing on guard for Canada. Recently, Dun-can noted he fully sup-ports the forest indus-try and promised to reintroduce measures to invest in the Trans-formative Technology Program, the Value Wood Program, the Canada Wood Export pro g ram and the North American Wood First Initiative. He also recently announced an

increase to the Fitness Tax Credit once the budget is balanced.

DR SOWERBY

Comox Valley and con-sulting administrator for the Comox Val-ley Community Arts Council. From her home in Black Creek, Moen says she strives to reduce her house-hold carbon footprint and to maintain a life-style consistent with sustainability. Her plat-form is based around a smart economy, strong communities and true democracy, believing that environmental accountability starts with individuals. She calls for a new Cana-dian agriculture policy emphasizing organic, local food production and will work to end poverty through a vari-ety of measures includ-ing those to ensure a guaranteed living income for all citizens, tax reform, investment in a national housing program and working with the provinces and

territories to comple-ment their anti-poverty initiatives.

Independent Party of Canada — Jason Draper

The Comox Valley resident is also the leader of the party, and notes his primary rea-son for running for Par-liament is for the future of his chil-dren and t h o s e o f h i s constitu-ents. Draper is a propo-nent of life, liberty and property. He believes Parliament requires independents because they are not bound by party policies, and that every local vote of every citizen in Canada who votes for a party candidate other

than independent is lost to the whim of the leader of the party in power. Draper says the Independent Party does not have a platform, only policies based on principals. “In gen-eral, as independents, we retain the right to lean whichever way we need to come up with the right decision, the right belief, the right answer at the right time without being encumbered by a lami-nated instruction sheet from party headquar-ters,” Draper says.

His platfor m identifies five key points: the economy, families, f inances and the future, clean resources, healthy environment and the economy of tomorrow, bringing Canadians together and Canada into the world.

The party believes in work-ing for the formation of a free and equal union between the nation of Quebec, the nations of the aboriginal peoples and the rest of Canada, and building a truly multicultural society in which the languages and cultures of all Canadians are given official recognition and are encouraged to flourish.

The long-term aim of the party is to create a socialist society with the transition to Com-munism, which will usher in a classless society.

Lacrosse Box Grand Opening

Dreams have

come true for the Campbell River Minor Lacrosse Association.

On Friday, April 29 at 5 p.m. they will be celebrating the grand opening of the newly-constructed outdoor lacrosse box at Robron

Park. Everyone is welcome to attend. There will be a free barbeque hosted by Save-On-Foods and some short opening speeches with a pick up lacrosse game to follow. The Campbell River Minor Lacrosse Association was determined to build an outdoor lacrosse box for them and for general community

use. It all came to pass in 2010 thanks to a great deal of volunteer and financial support.

“This really is a celebration of how our local businesses and governments can come together and support the development of our youth,” says Kevin Mills of the Lacrosse Association.

Heather Miller has spent her lunch hour, for the last two months, doing taxes for those who can’t afford to file their income tax returns.

Miller, a senior in her 60’s, voluntarily does tax returns for low-income people as part of the federal gov-ernment’s Community Volunteer Income Tax program.

“I love doing taxes, I got involved doing taxes on a volunteer basis in 1979 and just kept it up,” said Miller who started doing taxes when she worked for a large mental health organization in the south Okanagan.

This year, she has set up shop at the Sal-vation Army’s Light-house Centre, for two hours, five days a week, while lunch is served. So far, she has done 230 paper returns.

“The people that come to me cannot pay to get their taxes done and if they don’t do it they won’t get their GST rebates this year that they are entitled to,” says Miller.

Under the program, Miller can do taxes free of cost for any individual with an income of less than $25,000 or a fam-ily with a combined income under $32,000.

“A s i g n i f i c a n t amount of people on welfare or are home-less can’t survive on

their welfare cheques, let alone pay to get their taxes back,” says Miller. “It’s a really neat group of people who come here and you get to know them

over the years. They’re grateful because they know they’re going to get their GST rebate and when you’ve got three kids to feed, they know they’re going to

need it.”She will also direct

clients to other gov-ernment services they could benefit from and helps them with the paperwork.

Those who are eli-gible and would like to take advantage of the Community Volunteer Income Tax program, can visit Miller at the Lighthouse Centre (1381 Cedar St.) next week, Monday to Fri-day from 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. until April 30. To get help filing your taxes after the dead-line, you can reach Miller by contacting the Salvation Army church, 250-287-3720.

So, are we any further ahead?City Manager Andy Laidlaw told council that

after discussions with the RCMP, the BC Ambulance service and the fire department, the Island Highway upgrade poses no threat to the passage of emergency vehicles. Any statement to the contrary is full of misinformation and rumours, Laidlaw told council.

There’s enough space for emergency vehicles to get around

cars pulled over to the side of the road in the newly-upgraded section of the old Island Highway, Laidlaw said. Furthermore, if a fire truck or ambulance

needs to, it can mount the curb to navigate around other vehicles.

Yet, firefighters union president Reid Wharton insists that the width of the road does pose a problem. He also questions the wisdom of driving $600,000 fire trucks up on the curb – although, if these vehicles can’t handle riding up onto the curb, you have to wonder about how sturdy they are.

As big an issue this will be to the unlucky homeowner who has to watch a fire truck crawl towards his house as the flames eat away at the walls, there is another issue here and that is the one of communication between City Hall and the fire department, particularly its individual firefighters.

Wharton implies there was no consultation with the firefighters who ride the trucks which would seem to be a reasonable inquiry to make, especially since Wharton has been outspoken on this issue.

Wharton is obviously at odds with, presumably, his department who reassured the city manager the roadway is no problem. So, we’re left with who to believe. You could be like letter writer Walter Hall (see below) and get out and measure the road but presumably city staff have done that.

The proof will be in the first emergency perfect storm of a fire, heavy traffic and a location in the middle of the upgraded stretch of road. Hopefully, that will be as rare as everyone hopes it will be.

width , etc. and found that, at the present time, thisstretch of road does not comply with federal or provin-cial dimension guidelines for maximum width vehicu-lar traffic.

Maximum width vehicles of eight feet, six inches areallowed on all roads in North America except innerNew York and New Jersey where eight feet is maxi-mum allowable. Municipalities are allowed to use theirown roadway and street widths guidelines within theboundaries but must use posted signage indicating therestrictions of over width vehicles from reduced widthof road allowance provided. In all cases, the two-footrule should be applied.

In the case of this new stretch of road , the maxi-mum width of indicated vehicular traffic boundariesis 11 feet and is 10 feet, seven inches at the pump housegoing north. A bicycle path adjacent to the right curbmeasures 68 inches and is fairly constant on both sidesfor north and south bound traffic. Provincial guide-lines for maximum width vehicular traffic is: and Iquote: “One lane must have a width of 12 feet to accom-modate maximum width traffic in each direction. Onmain high volume highways and secondary roads, etc.,bicycle lanes are allowed where traffic is 60 kilometres

Decommissioning dams is not such an odd proposal.

In fact, it’s an action being taken in many jurisdictions, particularly in the States where old, obsolete dams have even spawned organizations pursuing they’re removal.

The idea is to restore natural runs of river in areas where the dams no longer serve any purpose.

They’re usually on smaller rivers that have a large recreational poten-tial.

The John Hart Dam decommis-sioning that provincial energy min-ister Rich Coleman momentarily contemplated is a different kettle of fish. the dam would have to lower a whole whack of water in the val-ley stretching all the way back up to Myra Falls.

Regardless of the hydroelectric implications and the safety of the dam structure, hundreds of thou-sands of dollars would have to be spent on reforestation in the previ-ous water levels. What a project that would have been. Lately, we’ve been getting a taste of what it would be like if water levels on the Buttle-Campbell lake and river system would look like and it ain’t pretty.

Buttle and Upper Campbell lakes currently link but historically they had stretches of the Campbell River between them. When the Ellis Expe-dition ventured into the region 101 years ago to investigate the creation of a provincial park, they spent a lot of time poling upstream. The Strath-cona recreation expedition last year paddled most of the way up into But-

tle Lake because of the huge reser-voir created by the dams.

In recent years, drought conditions have required the lake level to be lowered significantly. The bare, glar-ing-yellow rock shoreline has stood out in stark contrast to the forested slopes and dark rocks of the moun-tains that make up the Buttle Lake valley. Wharves at Strathcona Park Lodge get stranded and the shoreline gleams so brightly, you almost have to squint your eyes to reduce the glare of sunny days. If the John Hart Dam and presumably the Strathcona Dam were to be removed, an extensive replanting program would be needed and that shore would take decades to look natural.

That’s if you were to take the dams out. If you didn’t, there would

still be a cost to maintain the dams both structurally and functionally as you’d have to open the floodgates at low water times to ensure there’s enough water in the Campbell River for salmon runs.

It’s always nice to return an area to its natural state – lots of work has been done in that regard in the Campbell River estuary – but it would be hugely problematic to do it in the Buttle-Campbell system. Plus the results probably wouldn’t be seen in my lifetime.

Coleman obviously didn’t have all the information he should have when he made that pronouncement but he was soon put straight on the issue. He just say a saving of $1.35 billion and said there’s some good political optics.

or lower and they must have a minimum width of 1.2 meters with traf-fic lanes being 12 feet or more for all traffic (not just maximum width vehicles.) Any reduction in traffic lane widths from the 12 foot width within municipalities must have a no post guard-rail separating bike path and vehicular traffic.”

The “boulder piles” in the centre bordered by a cement curb, mea-sure 13 feet in width, more than adequate for parking or turning. The indicated roadway for vehicular traffic north of this new stretch of road complies in every way to provincial stan-dards for maximum width traffic – 12-foot indicated allowance for vehicular traffic with a minimum of three feet shoulder .

With the present indi-cated vehicular traffic boundaries, all buses, both transit and school, t r a n s p o r t t r u ck s, motor homes, deliv-ery cube vans, dump trucks, fire trucks, a m bu l a n c e s, d u a l wheel pickups, and others of maximum width are in theory in violation of traveling a roadway that should be posted to restrict these vehicles from this stretch of road, except

in an emergency. How-ever the city is remiss in that they have not posted this restric-tion or they have not modified boundaries to accept maximum width vehicles .

In the case of mak-ing this stretch of road comply , a reduction of one foot, two inches in bike lane path will give a vehicular road width of 12 feet except for the section adjacent and 140 feet south of pump house where a reduction of the width of the “boulder pile in the middle of the road on, two 2 inches would be necessary to bring this into compliance. In order to retain the present width of bike path (recommended) the island widths would have to be reduced.

Now we come to the “whys.” All coastal cit-ies, towns and villages in British Columbia and across the line are folding into their road and street planning, ways of meeting emer-gency evacuation and egress from danger areas in case of coastal emergencies such as tsunamis, earthquakes, etc. The criteria being of establishing evac-uation routes and minimizing or remov-ing obstructions and widening roadways to accommodate overload of vehicles and pro-

vide access for emer-gency vehicles . So why did our engineering department not take this into consideration when building this sec-tion of road?

At present, the large island of boulders serve no purpose and restrict the flow of traffic and prevent emergency vehicles from making a timely response in an emergency situ-ation, especially the continuous stretch of boulders from south of the pump house and up to the pump house. Eliminating this “pile of boulders” would alleviate any dimen-sional shortcomings and bring this section into compliance with minimum provincial guidelines.

Another area of “surprise” was the widening of the area some time ago in front of RONA’S. Everybody that I talked to at the time this was done believed we were going to see a turning lane in front of RONA’S.

But true to the state of planning in our engineering depart-ment, citizen shock treatment was in store for us. An additional area of parking was marked out on sunny morning and this adja-cent to the large park-ing area at Ken Forde boat ramp and the lift

station. This area is a very dangerous situa-tion for entering and exiting this business, especially on Satur-days. This should have been addressed. A sim-ple cure for this could be very easily taken care of with about eight hours of road marking.

I have written this letter to provide a few options for our City Hall to ponder so they can make this proj-ect right and not have to revisit it at a later date. Better to make it right now, make every-

body happy and show that public safety is forefront in their plan-ning , implementation and completion of city projects.

And last but not least , listen to the citi-zens and our first line responders.

As this letter will become public knowl-edge for all public officials in our com-munity, it is not nec-essary for me to send registered letters to all council members or the mayor.

I debated whether I was going to waste my time responding to the headlines of Wednesday’s paper, then I decided it had to be done.

Unbeknownst to the general public, code three responses have many restrictions that come into play every-day, everywhere.

For instance, if you come across a school bus unloading chil-

dren, you MUST shut down the siren and lights and wait like everyone else for the kids to clear the road.

You MUST come to a complete stop at all stop signs including fourway stops. You are NOT allowed to travel more than 10 km/h over the posted limit, so if the fire truck is making it to Maryland Road from town in 10 minutes or better, then

they are breaking the law.

T hese examples, along with the fact that not everyone heeds the way for emergency responders properly, only illustrates that there are many reasons a code three response can be delayed.

Good judgement, on the part of the respond-ers and the public, will ensure a response that is as speedy as is

practical and safe. If, for some reason, you happen to be in that 200-metre stretch of Highway 19A, and you see a firetruck com-ing with lights and siren, then don’t stop until you can SAFELY get out of their way, otherwise you may be mounted from behind by a union member of the fire department that thinks they should be consulted on how to

build roads. We could probably cut down on the number of times that a fire truck needs to travel this portion of road if they would stop responding to ambulance calls for no apparent reason.

Another thing, if they are using Alder as their southerly route, unless they go down Rockland hill to 19A, they won’t be in this situation.

Increasing Speed While Being Passed

Passing zones always presented interesting

situations for traffi c enforcement. There were

many times when I would fi nd one driver in

the right lane traveling at or near the speed

limit and another passing by in the left at a

speed signifi cantly in excess of the speed

limit. On stopping the speeder I would often

hear about how they had been forced to travel

behind the slower vehicle, which had been

going well under the limit, for great distances

and how that slow driver sped up on reaching

the passing lane.

My diffi culty was that the passing lanes

were good opportunities to travel at the speed

limit compared to the highway leading up

to them. Experience had taught me that if

I applied my speed “allowance” for drivers

over the limit to those under the limit and

watched the advisory speed signs, speeders

were a dime a dozen and truly slow drivers

were like hen’s teeth.

“Isn’t there a law about increasing your

speed while being passed?” I was often

asked. Yes there is. Except where passing

on the right is allowed, a driver being passed

must not increase their speed until they

are completely passed by the overtaking

vehicle.

Passing zones permit passing on the

right because there are at least two adjacent

lanes for the same direction of travel. So, the

previously slow driver is allowed to speed up

to the limit in the passing zone. If you have

to exceed the limit in order to pass them, you

take your chances with law enforcement.

The author is a retired constable with

many years of traffi c enforcement experience.

The Campbell River Recreation and Culture Department is offer-ing activities for youth during BC Youth Week, May 1-7, when all youth drop-in programs are free.

Watch for youth rec-reation leaders visiting schools with informa-tion about the week’s exciting activities.

Youth Week is also an opportunity to publicly recognize the benefits of youth efforts to local business and commu-nity organizations.

“This week is an opportunity for people around the world to learn from, and about, the youth of our com-munity,” says Mayor Charlie Cor nfield. “Many young people have overcome obsta-cles and barriers, and given up hours and hours of their time to worthwhile causes that help to make their communities a better place to live. It’s time to celebrate and recog-nize all their efforts!”

If you’ve got a terrific employee or volunteer and would like infor-mation on how you can celebrate the positive youth in your life con-tact Karen Chappell, Programmer, City of Campbell River Parks, Recreation & Culture, 250-923-7911 or e-mail karen.chappell@camp-

bellriver.caBC Youth Week has

been in existence for more than 15 years and grew out of a 1995 initiative to organize a Youth Day. The week has grown to include more than 30 munici-palities in BC, and is active in several countries around the world.

Yo u t h We e k i s intended to build a strong connection between young people and their communities and to profile youth issues, accomplish-ments and diversity across the province.

Campbell River’s young people plan Youth Week events, which encourages youth to take an active role in their education, recreation, and per-sonal development.

A number of activi-ties on May 6 will cele-brate Youth Week from 7-9:30 p.m.

Have a Facebook account? Find out about upcoming events on the Recreation Department’s youth page. Search for Cindy Youthrecleader and add her as a friend to get event notifications.

For more details for this program or any other youth activities call 250-923-7911 or 250-286-1161 or visit www.campbellriver.ca.

If youth must have its day, why not give them a week?

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.

Justin Webb never gave up on the football field.

And now the 20-year-old is battling a brain tumour.

Webb graduated in 2009 from Timberline Secondary, where he played football for the Wolves, and this past year he’s been attend-ing the University of Northern B.C.

However, after being diagnosed in the new year with a primi-tive neuroectodermal tumour – a spiderweb-like tumour – he is presently at Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria where he’s undergoing intensive radiation treatments to be followed by che-motherapy.

“He’s doing okay. It’s really wonderful to know how many peo-ple are showing their love for him,” says his mom Diane. “I just want people to pray for him and for him to get strong again.”

She is staying in Victoria while his dad Art is commuting several times a week from Campbell River. On Saturday, April 30, there will be a musical

fundraiser to support Justin at Timberline Secondary School.

“We want everyone to come out, show their support for the family and to help

them,” says Steve Ring of the band Ten Times Bigger.

Ten Times Bigger is headlining the fund-raiser with two open-ing acts, both from

Timberline. Fiftieth Parallel is the duo of Philip Marchand and Jonathan Hinds who describe themselves as a “percussive finger-style acoustic group.”

And the third act is a new band, Rise With The Falling.

There will also be 50/50 draws, the final of the Timberline stu-dents’ “Minute To Win It” event, and a silent auction.

The silent auction has some great sports memorabilia includ-ing signed rookie cards and bobbleheads from local NHL hero Rod Brind’Amour, some classic Bobby Orr photos and books, and a mint copy of the 1956 Sports Illustrated magazine featuring the late Van Egan on the cover.

Egan lived in Camp-bell River and the photo of him angling was the first-ever cover photo for SI depicting sports fish-ing. Ironically, the magazine was pub-lished on April 30, the same day as Justin’s fundraiser.

The fundraiser takes

place in the Timber-line cafeteria (park in the lower parking lot) from 4-7 p.m. There will be food and drinks for sale, and admission is by dona-tion.

Due to Justin’s con-dition, his mobility is extremely limited because the tumour is centered around his motor functions. This makes it diffi-cult, if not impossible, for him to authorize cheques.

He does share a joint bank account with his mother and cheques can be made out in the name of Diane Zaschke.

For more informa-tion on the fundraiser, call Paul Rudan at 250-923-2608.

Carrying the ball for Justin Webb

Justin Webb is pictured here with his girlfriend Katie Cornish. Webb is undergoing treatment for a brain tumour and a benefit concert for him takes place on Saturday, April 30, 4-7 p.m., in the Timberline School cafeteria. Everyone is invited.

KRISTEN DOUGLASCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A pair of teens feel like the luckiest girls in the world

because they spent their spring break in a develop-ing country.

Brianna Savery, a Grade 11 student from Timber-line and Josie Simpson, who is in Grade 10 at Car-ihi, are just two of a group of 33 International Co-op high school students, chap-erones and local volun-teers who spent nearly two and a half weeks in Nepal.

The group provided valu-able labour to the Nepalese who, along with humani-tarian groups, are building an irrigation system for the small, poor community of Lahachowk.

The students were tasked with carrying rocks,

sand and cement uphill, conveyor-belt style, to help build the canal, which will benefit two commu-nities and increase food production for local farm-ers by 100 per cent. While in Nepal, the students finished 65 metres of the canal, which is contained by high rock and cement walls. The irrigation system, which will help contain water during Nepal’s monsoon season and direct it towards the farmers’ fields, is expected to take four years to com-plete.

“The work was not as bad as I thought it would be, you got a good upper arm workout from it, though,” says Simpson, who was amazed by the Nepalese’s work ethic.

“Some of the ladies car-ried flat rocks in their bas-

kets which were strapped to their forehead. They’re very community-minded and everyone works together.”

While in Lahachowk, the students all stayed in the villager’s homes. Both girls say they were treated with so much hospitality. The only hard part was when it was time to take a shower. There are no bathrooms and no run-ning water in Lahachowk homes. Shower’s are taken

off the side of the road and shared by the entire village.

“They have taps off the road, where everyone bathes,” says Simpson. “We showered with our clothes on because you’re right out in the open.”

Each home has an out-house with a toilet that does not flush and no sink to wash your hands.

Electricity was also no guarantee as certain regions of Nepal have

power at different times.“It wasn’t a big deal,”

says Simpson. “We had headlamps and flashlights when we were outside and when we were inside, the families had candles.”

The highlight of the trip for both girls was interact-ing with and living among the villagers.

A trip to the orphanage in nearby Pokhara was one experience no one will forget.

“All the kids were so nice and they danced for us,” says Savery. “One little boy took me into his school room and read me his sci-ence text book and I read him Sesame Street and the Jungle Book. The kids also taught us their hand clap-ping games.”

The group also paid a visit to the school in Lahachowk. Simpson says the classrooms were bare aside from a chalkboard and long wooden tables lined up beside each other.

The teens brought along a map of Canada and took turns teaching the Nepal-ese children about differ-ent regions of the country. They also played word games with their young

students and spent time playing volleyball and soccer, two very popular sports with the locals.

During the students’ time off work, they also did a three-day trek through the Annapurna mountains, where little villages are scattered throughout. Though it was a very steep climb, Simpson says the views were beautiful. Along the way, the students spent the night in tea houses, simi-lar to little motels.

Both Simpson and Sav-ery say they will never forget the people they met in Nepal and are still in contact with some of the friends they made there.

“I definitely noticed that if you’re someone’s guest there, they want to treat you like it’s the best place on earth,” says Simpson. “I just feel really lucky, it was amazing, and I really want to go back.”

Savery enjoyed experi-encing another culture.

“I’m really glad I got the opportunity to go. Once I was there, I loved it and I didn’t want to go home,” she says. “I think I’m going to go back.”

Experiencing hard work and a sense of community

Barb Izard, Co-op International teacher who took her class to Nepal to help build an irrigation system, takes a stone from her group’s interpreter, Hari, 22, and prepares to pass it on to Timberline Grade 10 student Abhilasha Gnowli while working on the canal.

FRIDAY, APRIL 22, 2011 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR | A15

Located on Great Central Lake, in the mountainous heart of Vancouver Island, Omega Pacific is a pri-vately-run hatchery operated by Schmitt and Bruce Kenny.

Chinook trialThey’ re passion-

ate advocates for wild salmon and they’re working in co-opera-tion with other orga-nizations to save three chinook runs: Two on the West Coast on the Nahmint and Sarita rivers; and the Phillips River, on the the main-land coast, about 50 kilometres northwest of Campbell River.

“We’ve lost huge numbers of our wild salmon,” she says, during a break from checking the oxygen levels in the tanks car-rying the smolts. “I know the solutions are out there…and this project will basically prove it.”

For the past few years Omega has been trying to overcome one of the biggest problems fac-ing hatchery-reared chinook salmon: Sur-vival.

While millions of these young chinook are released annually into the sea along B.C.’s South Coast, less than one per cent return to their home rivers as mature adults. Preda-tion, disease, ocean conditions, over-fish-ing and loss of habitat are among the many reasons they don’t sur-vive.

But Schmitt and Kenny believe they’ve identified the main rea-son for their demise: Most hatchery chinook are released too early. When this happens, explains Schmitt, their immune system is not fully developed and they are more suscep-

tible to disease.At the Omega hatch-

ery, chinook are raised in very cold water and fed slowly to promote slower growth. This method attempts to mimic their natural growth cycle which provides the f ish with a fully-devel-oped immune system and enables them to enter the ocean better equipped to fight off disease, feed and avoid being eaten.

It’s also a method employed at chinook hatcheries in Wash-ington State, notes Schmitt.

She says it’s also important to raise chi-nooks from eggs and sperm gathered from brood stock on the home rivers. Each is genetically different and she laughs while retelling how her Omega cohorts refer to the Hollywood-like appearances of the chi-nook smolts from the three river systems.

The salmon from the Nahmint are like Queen Latifah, bigger and more robust: the Sarita’s are like Drew

Barrymore, smaller but still curvaceous; and the Phillip’s are like Paris Hilton, pretty and petite.

“All are beautiful, but they have their differ-ences,” says Schmitt.

The road homeApproximately 12,000

chinook smolts are transferred to each of the four tanks on Madill’s flatbed. Fully loaded, he heads east on Highway 4, crosses “The Hump” to the Inland Island Highway and proceeds north on the Inland Highway past Campbell River to Menzies Bay, a trip roughly 190 kilometres long.

Awaiting Madill and the entourage from

Omega is the MV Aurora Explorer and her crew from Marine Link Tours.

The flatbed is backed onto the 135-foot land-ing craft and then Cap-tain Phillipe Menetrier pulls away from the dock to begin a 29-nau-tical-mile trip north through Seymour Nar-rows, to Nodales Chan-nel and then up to the head of Phillips Arm.

Also on board is Marine Link owner Guy Adams who has established a nice niche market of mov-ing cargo to remote places along the coast and hosting paying guests in the vessel’s state cabins.

Adams is also an avid fisherman who fully supports the work of

the Gillard Pass Fish-eries Association, and he’s donated the use of the vessel for this spe-cial voyage.

“You know, our fam-ily’s pretty good at kill-ing fish, so I figure this is a way to give back,” he laughs.

But his support is no joke and Gale is grate-ful for the ride. Gale also points out the chi-nook trial would have never happened with-out the support of the association’s members, Omega and field staff from Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO).

“This is a challenge…and they’re willing to let us try this,” he says of DFO’s support. The federal ministry also paid researchers to check over the salmon to ensure they’re free of pathogens.

The Aurora Explorer motors through calm waters on a gorgeous day as the sunshine illuminates the snowy peaks of the Coastal Mountains. Reaching the head of Phillips Arm, the vessel swings into Fanny Bay where two empty seapens await.

Half the fish will be deposited here where they will remain for a week in order to imprint themselves. This ensures the sur-vivors return to their home river to spawn.

The fish are being split up, explains Gale, as part of the strategy to see which salmon best survive.

The other 24,000 fish

are taken to the nearby site of an old logging camp. Madill drives off the landing ramp onto the beach and proceeds five kilometres up the logging road to Phil-lips Lake.

And now it gets tricky. The road into the lake is more suited to a passenger-sized 4x4, not an 18-wheeler. This is where experi-ence counts as Madill expertly manoeuvres the flatbed over the twisting and narrow dirt road to the magnif-icent, mountain-ringed lakeside.

Gale and Schmitt are clearly relieved their valuable cargo has safely arrived. A large flexible hose is attached to the tank and the other end is deposited into the lake netpens where thou-sands and thousands of small, dark-coloured chinook smolts come spilling out into the fresh, cold water.

“They’re beautiful fish!” says DFO officer Barry Peters of Camp-bell River, who’s been supporting the proj-ect.

Better still, there are very few floaters – dead fish – and the salmon seem to be enjoying their new home. After a few minutes, they begin jumping and snapping up the huge mosquitoes.

“That’s a very good s ign,” says Todd Scharff, a volunteer with the Gillard Pass association, who’s stay-ing in the nearby cabin

for a week to monitor and feed the smolts, as well as to keep them protected from a marauding river otter.

And now the waiting game begins. It will be five years before these chinook return to the Phillips River, one of a handful of coastal rivers that support all five species of Pacific salmon.

For the next four years, more salmon smolts will be released the same way. The goal of the trial is to create a self-sustaining run of Phillips chinook which will benefit the entire ecosystem as well as the guests who visit the nearby sports fishing lodges.

These lodges have also provided financial support to the project and fish farming com-panies – Mainstream Canada, Marine Har-vest Canada, Creative Salmon and Grieg Sea-food – have also sup-ported the salmon rear-ing efforts at Omega.

With the smolts swim-ming and jumping in the water, Schmitt breaks out the spar-kling apple juice and pours cups for all who raise a toast to this monumental effort.

The day is a success, but true success will only be known five years from now. That makes Schmitt ner-vous and she wonders if she’s done enough.

“Are we releasing enough fish? That makes my worry – is it enough?” she asks as the sun begins to dip below the mountain peak.

Join the third Annual A Wom-an’s Experience

of Riding and the ninth annual Camp-bell River Motorcycle Swap Meet being held Sunday May 1 at the Eagles Hall from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.

The swap meet will be in the large hall.

Workshops and ven-dor booths aimed at the woman rider will be in the smaller hall.

Female owner-ship of motorcycles crossed the 10-per cent mark, increasing from 9.6 per cent in 2003 up to 12.3 percent in 2008.

And the latest gov-ernment statistics show 14 per cent of people taking their test are women, say the Motorcycle Indus-try Association.

As more women pick up the sport, manu-facturers are produc-ing a wide variety of motorcycles that are suitable for the female frame and dealers are hosting events and seminars that only cater to women.

Harley-Davidson, for example, organizes “Garage Parties” to familiarize women with the great sport of motorcycle rid-ing and has declared

May as Women Rid-ers Month. May 14 is Women’s Ride Day so get out and join other women and the rest of the world in honour-ing women who have taken life by the han-dlebars. Women who are interested in rid-ing motorcycles either on the front seat or on the back are invited to attend A Woman’s Experience of Riding.

There will be three workshops:

■ 10:30-11:30 a.m. Group Riding with retired RCMP senior police motorcycle Instructor and now teaching beginner & advanced motorcycle courses on Vancouver Island, Dave Hay;

■ 11:45-12:15 p.m. — Basic Motorcycle Maintenance with Andy Ringdahl, Sales Manager at Boatland / Suzuki Motorcycles in Campbell River, and;

■ 12:30–1 p.m. — How to Pick up a Motorcycle with long time rider Brian Hicks. Hicks says “If you’re going to ride a bike you’re going to drop it sooner or later so come to the work-shop and I’ll show you how to pick it up.”

The first 25 women through the door will

receive a goodie bag and there will even be door prizes from Lemon Creek Lodge in the Slocan Valley, The South Thompson Inn in Kamloops, Spunky’s Motorcycle Shop in Parksville, Ink Nation in Cour-tenay, V. I. Honda in Nanaimo, Milwaukee Twin, Shadoe Inti-mates, Isagenix, Ster-ling Silver Jewellery & Britches & Hose Vintage Clothing in Campbell River and Silver Leaf Thread from Sayward to name a few.

Some of the vendors you can expect are Ink

Nation, Steve Drane Harley-Davidson, Silver Leaf Threads , CR Boatland / Suzuki Motorcycles, Isagenix, Britches & Hose Vin-tage Clothing, Ster-ling Silver Jewellery and more.

There is still time to book a table if you have swap meet stuff geared toward the woman rider (cloth-ing, bike parts/acces-sories, jewellery. etc…) or if you have a busi-ness and want to dis-play and sell product to and for the woman rider (bandanas, jewellery, helmets, riding gear, leathers,

etc). Contact Svennes as soon as possible to reserve your table as tables are limited.

Hermit Rock Motorcycle Repair in Coombs has contrib-uted a pink and white leather jacket for a raffle prize.

Marne Svennes, event organizer says, “The past two years the event has had a hall full of activity with workshops, ven-dors, food, fun and people just visiting and catching up with each other.”

This year a portion of the proceeds from A Woman’s Experi-

ence of Riding will be donated to Cruising for a Cause the Van-couver Island Ride for Breast Cancer Research.

This year Cruising for a Cause will be held on Sunday, June 5 starting at 1809 Bowen Road in Nanaimo at 11:30 a.m. For more information go to www.cruising-for-a-cause.ca

For more informa-tion and to book your table please contact Marne Svennes @ 250-902-2228 or by cell @ 250-203-7911 or by email at marnes@ketacable.net.

“THE GAS EXPERTS”151 Dogwood, Campbell River

The Sybil Andrews Heritage Society has presented a $5,000 cheque to the City of Campbell River in support of the work underway to restore the artist’s cottage.

“This is a commu-nity donation to the Sybil Andrews cottage restoration,” says a thrilled Fern Seaboyer, President of the Sybil Andrews Heritage Society. “We’ve been

fundraising for five years, and we’ve sold 600 calendars featur-ing the work of local artists and almost 300 flour sacking towels similar to the ones Sybil Andrews used. Through these fund-raising sales and per-sonal cash donations, we’re able to contribute this $5,000 on behalf of numerous community supporters.”

Cottage restora -

tion work is currently underway. The build-ing is already settled onto a new foundation, with perimeter drain-age improvements installed, and it sports a new roof. A wheel-chair ramp and access door are in the works as well as some other minor repairs. Resto-ration work is sched-uled to be completed by the end of April. Sybil Andrews Day

will be celebrated this year from 2 to 5 p.m. next door to the cot-tage at the temporary Arts Council offices (2111 Island Highway South).

As well as the dona-tion from the Sybil Andrews Heritage Society, the project hasreceived financial sup-port from the Coast Sustainability Land Trust, Heritage BC, the Heritage Legacy Fund and the City of Camp-bell River through the Strategic Parks Plan and the Parks Parcel Tax.

“The Sybil Andrews Heritage Society would like to thank everyone who has contributed in any way to our fundraising efforts,” Seaboyer sums up.

“The restored cot-tage will create a heritage focal point in south Campbell River that acknowledges the important role Sybil Andrews played in art history and in the development of Camp-bell River,” says Ross Milnthorp, the City’s general manager of parks, recreation and culture. “The heritage site will offer a range of possibilities for the entire community and is expected to be a tre-mendous resource for cultural tourism and the creative economy in Campbell River.”

AttentionTeachers:AttentionTeachers:

April 25th is Parental Alienation Awareness Day

The BC Ministry of Attorney General is currently revising the Family Relations Act (FRA) and is passing new legislation very soon. We are concerned that this Ministry is

under estimating the importance of specifically addressing Parental Alienation

in the new FRA.

Parental Alienation must be identified as a specific factor in divorce, along with specific remedies, in the new FRA. It also needs to be defined as a form of domestic violence and child abuse, which experts say it is.Parental Alienation frequently happens during a divorce or separation. It occurs when one parent actively works to align a child by unjustified or exaggerated denigration of the other parent, also making it difficult for those grandparents to stay connected to their grandchildren.For information on Parental Alienation visit www.nanaimomen.com or www.marsbc.com or http://www.paawareness.org

We are asking concerned parents, family members, judges, lawyers, counsellors, psychologists, and other professionals to contact the Attorney General of BC and your local MLA immediately. Let them know you want Parental Alienation recognized with specific remedies in the new FRA legislation.

This ad is co-sponsored by the Nanaimo Men’s Resource Centre and the Men’s Affordable

Resources Society of BC (MARS BC)

Are you a parent who is being made the enemy of

your children? This is PARENTAL ALIENATION!

No flowers for Easter

Lilies are viewed by many people as the traditional flower for Easter but for others, the presence of these attractive but strongly scented and high pollen-bearing flowers can trigger headaches, nausea

and even respiratory issues.

The Vancouver Island Health Authority asks family members and friends of loved ones in hospitals and residential care facilities to be scent considerate to those with health problems associated

with lilies and other strongly scented and pollen-bearing flowers when bringing bouquets to loved ones to celebrate the Easter holiday. Pollen-bearing flowers can cause reactions severe enough to require medical intervention.

In Loving Memory of My BrotherDuane Gerald Doherty

May 18, 1974-April 24, 2010My Brother..... My Friend.....I can’t believe that I have found the strength to carry on without you in my life for a whole year! It has not been easy, and I don’t believe it will get any easier, I will always miss you. If only you had known how very important you were to me, and my family. You were always there for me... as my big brother and my best friend, to assure me I was doing the right thing.... or to tell me not to be stupid.... give me advice.....and always, no matter what, wherever you were, you were there to listen. Every year I looked forward to you coming home, sitting down with you and having a drink and laughing with you. No other road trips came anywhere close to the ones I had... with you...my big brother. No one can replace the connection we had, I don’t think there will ever be a day that I don’t think of you, you are always in my thoughts, and dreams. I miss you every single day. Love you Bro.

Duane DohertyMay 18, 1974 -April 24, 2010

Gone from us too soon.

Missing your sweet smile, your

wonderful laughter, your big warm hugs. Loving you is so easy.

We hold cherished memories forever in our hearts.

We will miss you, always, We will love you, forever.

Until we meet again Sonshine! Forever Loved, Mom & Dad

In Loving Memory of Duane DohertyApril 24, 2010

It’s the little things that remind me you’re not here: old comments on my facebook page; those stupid chain-joke emails; fi ling taxes; the beach after a good storm; rainbows. Silly moments, forever etched in my memory: a road-hockey stick and cardboard with yards of duct tape; summertime BBQ’s and blender drinks (how many blenders did we fry?); bets on the Christmas tree decorating; a chipped cup (I still have it - I think I’ll keep it forever); laughing over everything and nothing at all. Memories of things relived year after year: Christmas coffees and Nanaimo trips; time at the lake; seafood nights; last-minute phone calls for a birthday gift; countdowns until your next visit home; long talks into the wee hours about anything and everything. The things you did for me without my having to ask: dinners made ‘just because’; stalking airline websites for a last-minute ticket and the treacherous drive you made so I didn’t have to; advice I didn’t want to hear but listened to anyway; the love and support you always gave and never asked for in return. I wish I’d returned the favour, one last time. I miss you so much it hurts. Love you always. xo

Did you witness... A hit and run Monday, April 18, 2011 at

approximately 12:40pm. The incident happened

on Dogwood Street traveling south bound across from

Phoenix middle school.

The two vehicles involved were a white Toyota Matrix

and a dark blue 4 door sporty sedan (possible a Sunfi re

or Cavalier) with a white Canucks windsock hooked

onto the rear left window. After hitting the Toyota the

dark blue vehicle drove off down 8th Avenue.

Incoming!Austen Hack (12) of the Mariners slides safely into home plate as the White Sox catcher and pitcher attempt to haul in the high throwfrom the outfield. However, the White Sox outscored the Mariners 12-10 last Saturday at Nunns Creek Park in peewee baseball.

Four members of the Campbell River Judo Club fought in the Evergreen Sate Open in Washington State last month.

This was a large tour nament with judo fighters coming from all over Western Canada and the west-ern United States to participate. All mem-bers represented the club well and fought hard in very com-parative divisions. Owen Wellard, age seven, the youngest member won a silver medal in the boys 31 kg division. In his final match to decide gold and silver, Owen lost a back-and-forth battle in which both fighters had the upper hand at differ-ent times.

Jamiliya Wellard ended up medaling in two divisions; sil-ver in the under 38 kg girls ages 9/10 and a bronze in the girls ages 11/12. This is very impressive

because Jamilya had just turned nine years old a few weeks prior to the tournament.

In the adult divi-sions, Glen Morris and Jason Wellard both medaled. Glen fought in the senior men’s under 73 kg and ended up with winning the bronze.

Jason won gold in the men’s under 81kg division and had to have a rematch with an opponent he had already between ear-lier that day to settle the division.

Judo medals

The medalists pose for a photo at the club.

The U14 Crush show off the hardware they picked up by winning the Island title last weekend.

Crush dominate

The Crush under 14 team followed in the footsteps of the U18 girls.

The U18 Crush won the Island title last weekend in Victoria while the U14 girls were doing the same in Nanaimo.

The Crush went undefeated through the tournament and didn’t drop a single set. They knocked off Victoria in the semi-final and met a strong Nanaimo Express club in the finals, winning again in straight sets.

The girls are now preparing for the pro-vincial championships in Kelowna on April 29 to May 1.
