More than 200 people marched through snow and slush Sunday to protest the impending lay-
offs at the New Horizons care home.“There’s no respect…there needs to be a
change,” said Campbell River city councillor Larry Samson. “If we don’t stand up it’s only going to get worse. We need to stand up as a
community and a province.”On Dec. 30, the 120 employees at New Hori-
zons – all members of the Health Employees’ Union (HEU) – were handed surprise layoff

In his first court appearance – a video link from jail in Victoria – an 84-year-old man charged with mur-der had trouble hearing the judge.
“Are you able to hear me?” asked Judge Roderick Sutton who was in Campbell River provincial court.
“What was that?” replied Kon-stanty (Karol) Bukiewicz, “not too well.”
So the volume was set at maxi-mum and the judge spoke louder so Bukiewicz could follow what was going on, which wasn’t much.
He’s charged with second degree murder in the death of Caroline Doreen Surrett, 72. The court charge indicates it’s a domestic incident.
Surrett was found deceased in a two-storey home located at 874 S. Alder St. She was found by Camp-bell River RCMP who received a 911 call from the home on the morning of Feb. 25.
Bukiewicz, described by a neigh-bour as a “super-nice guy,” was arrested at the scene without inci-dent and charged with second degree murder.

About 200 people head out from Spirit Square on snowy Sunday afternoon as they march to New Horizons care home on 14th Avenue to protest the impending layoff of 120 staff.
notices by the ownership group, Park Place Seniors Living of Vancouver.
Their last day on the job at the 94-bed facility is April 30. The employ-ees have been told they can reapply for their old jobs, and have the first
right of refusal, but it’s expected those who do return will receive lower wages, fewer benefits and will lose seniority.
“Your actions and treatment of employees is something that happens in third world countries, not Canada,” said Lois Jarvis of Campbell Riv-er’s Citizens For Quality Health Care.
The protest rally started at a packed Spirit Square with speeches from Sam-son, Jarvis, North Island MLA Claire Trevena, BC Federation of Labour President Jim Sinclair and HEU secretary Bon-nie Pearson who said the provincial government is “commodifying human services.”
“This is not the first mass layoff in seniors care,” said Pearson, who noted that Park Place is doing the same thing at a 160-bed home in Dun-can which it recently bought. “Contract flip-ping is rampant in this province. It’s not about providing care and it’s obviously not about improving care. Rather, it’s about private owners ducking their responsi-bilities to the seniors who need the care and the
workers who provide it.“This is not about
workers making too much money. It’s about Park Place and oth-ers not making enough money!”
F o l l o w i n g t h e speeches, the growing group marched through the snowy streets to New Horizons on 14th Avenue. They stood on the south side of the building, chanted slo-gans against the owners, heard more speeches, and waved to staff and residents who watched from the windows above.
“This (Liberal) gov-ernment puts profits ahead of people and that is so wrong,” said Trev-ena during her speech at Spirit Square. “They have no respect for the rule of law. They have no respect for workers’ rights. They have no respect for trade unions and that is wrong.”
The HEU is hoping to start a province-wide movement to protest more re-contracting and Samson said municipal governments should lobby the Health Minis-ter or, he suggested, the
Union of BC Municipal-ities should protest the government’s policy.
But this protest isn’t just about jobs, said Jar-vis, who said residents will also be negatively affected by the workforce turnover.
“Quality of life for sick or elderly people demands the best-quali-fied, most-dedicated staff available. That’s what they have currently at New Horizons and that’s the way it should stay.”

DID YOU KNOW? YOUR NEIGHBOURS NEED YOUR HELP!During the last snow storm, the City received numerous comments and calls for help about clearing sidewalks.
The City of Campbell River’s Traffic and Highways Regulation bylaw does not require owners or tenants of single and duplex residents to clear snow and ice from sidewalks, but it is a courtesy to neighbours in residential areas when you do - and it’s especially helpful for people with mobility challenges. For that reason, the City’s bylaw requests these private property owners to clear snow and ice from sidewalks near their property.
According to City bylaw: • Owners or tenants of commercial, industrial and institutional premises must clear
snow and ice from sidewalks abutting their premises by 10 a.m. on any day the premises are open to the public.
• Owners or managers of multi-unit residential premises must clear snow and ice from sidewalks abutting their premises by 10 a.m. on any day
the premises are occupied.
When winter weather comes to Campbell River, City crews work to keep emergency routes and main roads (like Dogwood, Alder and Hwy. 19A) passable for traffic. Depending on the amount of snow falling, the second priority is to clear collector roads, transit routes, and most commercial areas, including select public parking and facilities.
For several days last week, we deployed our limited resources around the clock to keep major routes and collector roads and transit routes open.
It takes us longer to get to local roads, but all were clear by day three of last week’s storm.
How you can help: • To enable pedestrians and people using mobility assistance, please clear snow and ice from the sidewalk in front of your home.
• To keep roadways clear for vehicles, shovel snow from sidewalks away from the road. • To help snowplows clear streets, park cars off the road during or after a snowstorm.• Help melting snow drain away - and prevent puddles and flooding - by cleaning storm drain grates.• Use transit whenever possible. Drive only if you have good snow tires and a cold weather
emergency kit.• Drivers should slow down and move to the right when approaching a plow or sand/salt truck. Also,
keep well back from plows and sanders, to ensure everyone’s safely when they reverse.
SHARE YOUR OPINION ON THE FUTURE OF THEALDER STREET CORRIDOR!
We’re reviewing opportunities to improve Alder Street - and want public feedback on how best to balance Alder Street’s role as one of the primary north-south routes with safe access to and from the many single-family homes along this 7.5 kilometre street. We also want your opinion on sidewalk improvements, how to better accommodate bicycles and bus stop upgrades.
Join us at a public open house onWednesday, March 12 between5:30 and 7:30 p.m. at the Sportsplex.
See examples of options that could be considered for this route, and learn more about the City’s 2012 Master Transportation Plan – a vision for the community’s multi-modal transportation system for the next 25 years.
Boulevard Traffic Group and City staff will be on hand to discuss optionsand gather public feedback as we work towards the next steps for thisimportant transportation corridor.
Updates on the corridor review will be posted on the City’s website andFacebook Page.

The contract to build the new John Hart G enerat ing Stat ion was signed on Friday between BC Hydro and InPower BC, a project company set up by SNC-Lavalin Group Inc. The estimated cost of the Campbell River project is $1.093 billion dollars.
“John Hart is an impor-tant facility for us on Vancouver Island,” said Chris O’Riley, Hydro’s VP of Generation, in a news release. “BC Hydro has worked hard since 2007 to advance this major project by devel-oping the best plan and the best design to deal with a 67-year-old gen-erating station that has
seismic, reliability and fish habitat risks.”
Work is expected to begin by late April to replace the three 1.8-kilometre wooden penstocks – that run from John Hart Lake, down General Hill to the generating station – with a 2.1-kilometre tunnel.
The 8.1-metre diameter tunnel will be blasted and
most of the rock will be hauled away and divided between the Campbell River and Cape Mudge First Nations. The latter intends to build a com-mercial port at Middle Point, located just north of the city. The new gen-erating station will also be built underground, allowing for the removal of the old station when
work is completed by 2017. The number of people working at the site will grow to 200 by the end of this year and peak at 340 in 2016.
SNC-Lavalin will run the project out of its Vancouver office, includ-ing working and co-ordi-nating with international team members on the specialized design and
fabrication of compo-nents such as generators and turbines.
“This is a major project for BC Hydro and Van-couver Island, and we look forward to build-ing on the community support that’s already in place for the project,” said Robert Card, presi-dent and CEO of SNC-Lavalin.
BC Hydro and SNC-Lavalin will host busi-ness opportunity events on March 31 and April 1 in Campbell River for the upcoming subcontractor and jobs opportunities.
More details on the event can be found at cr.majorprojects.ca. For more information on the project, visit bchydro.com/johnhart.
True blue Canucks
The Block family had a great time at the Vancouver Canucks game last Wednesday thanks to Save-On Foods. Ten-year-old Matthew (third from left) was the lucky winner of the store’s Every Kids Dream contest. He skated with the Canucks and stood on the blue line for the pre-game ceremony to honour Olympic medalists, and the singing of the national anthems. Save-On also made sure Matthew and his older brother Kyle received new Canuck jerseys. On Tues-day, Matthew spent two hours undergoing an MRI to deter-mine if he requires open heart surgery.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Area D director Brenda Leigh tried to delay the Strathcona Regional District’s role in the city’s boundary extension pro-cess Thursday, hinting that her constituents will reject joining the city of Campbell River.
The regional district,
as governor of Area D, is mandated by the prov-ince to identify any and all service impacts that could arise from the city’s proposal to annex 208 northern Area D prop-erties in order to hook them up to city sewer service.
But at Thursday’s board meeting, Leigh wanted the regional district to
hold off on reviewing a consultant’s report on the city’s boundary extension proposal.
“I want to defer until the public consultation in Area D is complete,” Leigh said. “The pub-lic consultation has just begun. I expect input from my constituents.”
Director and Coun. Claire Moglove asked the board to not defer, not-ing the regional district is legislated to respond to the consultant’s report and identify any impacts to affected services.
Moglove said the regional district’s input is also vital to the public engagement sessions, so
it does not make sense to wait until the public con-sultation period is over.
“The city wants to have accurate information to take to the citizens and that’s a very important process to go through,” Moglove said. “I think it’s really important that the information from the response of the SRD (Strathcona Regional District) be available to be presented to the con-stituents.”
But Leigh implied the city is wasting its time and may want to hold off after engaging with Area D residents.
“Campbell River has the option, when they
hear from Area D resi-dents, to stop the pro-cess in its tracks and stop wasting our time and money and our (regional district) staff ’s time and money,” Leigh said.
That prompted Russ Hotsenpiller, the regional district’s chief admin-istrative officer, to note that the regional district, with the city’s support, has applied to the prov-ince for financial sup-port to hire the expertise needed to complete the report and keep the item cost neutral. But Leigh was doubtful.
“I’ve never seen pro-vincial funding come through in 30 days,”
Leigh said. “I feel once the public consultation takes place it’ll be clear whether this moves for-ward or not. It’s prudent to have the public come out for the public consul-tation and then if it looks like it was going to move ahead at all – which it probably won’t – then have our staff take on all this time and work.”
Which was when Director Jim Abram (Quadra Island) stepped in.
“As your chair, I’d like to say for clarity’s sake, this is a real chicken and egg situation here,” Abram said. “So I am having a really hard time
with this Brenda, sorry. You can still have public hearings, all we’re doing at this point is giving staff the go-ahead to start the process. So (staff ) can start looking at what are the ramifications of this proposal.”
In the end, the board voted in favour of hav-ing staff move forward with studying the city’s boundary extension pro-posal so that the regional district can respond. That response will come back to the regional dis-trict board at a later date. The regional district is expected to complete its review of the report and its response by March 28.

Area D extension planning likely all for naught, director implies
Committee formed to fight ferry cuts
Government officials representing several different B.C. communities have formed a special committee to fight back against
impending BC Ferries service cuts.
The area in and around Campbell River is represented by Jim Abram, Area C director and chair of the Strathcona Regional District. Abram is one of 10 elected officials
that make up the Special Committee on BC Ferries.
The purpose of the committee is to oversee the work of a consultant, commissioned by the Union of BC Municipalities and Association of Vancouver Island and Coastal
Communities to conduct a report on the economic impact that service reductions will have on ferry-dependent communities.
“B.C. local governments are saying it is time to take a look at how reductions in service and
fare increases will impact B.C. communities,” said Rhona Martin, president of the Union of BC Municipalities. “Ferries play a vital role in the province-wide transportation system that is a key support for the B.C. economy.”

Remaining Area D residents could be on the hook for lost tax dollars if some Area D residents join the city of Campbell River.
Dan Wong, a consul-tant with Urban Sys-tems which has studied the impacts of the city extending its southern boundary, told roughly 200 res idents who attended a public infor-mation session Feb. 27 that taxpayers could potentially pick up the slack.
Wong said the loss of Area D properties that the city is considering annexing would cost the remaining Area D resi-dents $122,000 per year in lost revenue. Wong also said, however, that there are precedents set that could see the prov-ince step up to compen-sate affected taxpayers.
Rod Nugent, chair of
the Area D Ratepayers Association and who attended the open house at Ocean Grove Elemen-tary, said Wong spoke to the group assembled for several hours to review projected costs and financing details of the project.
“Most attendees were there to get more infor-mation on the city’s proposal,” Nugent said. “However, there were
several people who expressed their hostility to the whole concept of annexation by the city and suggested the city of Campbell River was sim-ply engineering a land and tax grab.”
One concerned resi-dent said many living in Area D want sewers but do not want to join the city.
He thought the best solution was the one
proposed a year and a half ago.
In 2011, the city and the Strathcona Regional District were negotiat-ing a deal that would see the city contract out its sewer service to Area D residents.
However, the city pulled out of those talks in the summer of 2012.
The city had sent the regional district a pro-posal to provide sewer
service as part of a mas-ter service agreement that would also cover transit and water supply, with comparable costs for city and Area D resi-dents. But the regional district wanted a sepa-rate agreement for each service, according to a city news release.
In the end, council believed it was unfair for the city to pay for the costs to extend its sewer service and not re-coup those costs, as Area D residents do not pay development cost charges.
“For the city to pro-vide sewer service to Area D, upgrades to the city’s existing sewer sys-tem would be required, and it is the city’s view that these costs should be recovered,” said Coun. Mary Storry in a July 2012 news release. “Council also agreed it would be inappropriate to subsidize develop-ment outside the city.”
So the city pulled its offer and months later proposed expanding the city boundary into Area D to provide those prop-erties with city sewer service.
But Area D Director Brenda Leigh has said that her constituents don’t want to join the city as they don’t want to give up their rural life-style and pay taxes at the higher city rate.
The city maintains it is sticking with its annexa-tion proposal because of health issues.
According to the city’s website, the city is exploring a bound-ary extension to address “known environmen-tal and public health concerns related to failing and potentially failing septic systems, and ensure a more co-ordinated approach to growth and develop-ment.”
But Nancy Clements from Vancouver Island
Health and who attended Thursday’s public meet-ing said that there are no current studies of the health-related issues connected to Area D septic systems – the most recent date back at least five years.
Residents at the public meeting also heard that affected Area D resi-dents, and only those liv-ing on properties tagged for annexation, will be allowed to vote in a ref-erendum that is likely to happen this fall.
Leigh said at Thurs-days regional district board meeting that her constituents all want to have a say.
“I’ve been told they want a referendum for all of Area D because it affects all of Area D,” Leigh said.
But Russ Hotsenpiller, CAO of the regional district, said only those potentially going in would be allowed to vote.
Residents voice concerns with city annexation proposal

Families now have access to an impor-tant information and resources guide for child and youth mental health and substance use services in the Campbell River and Comox Valley areas.
Island Health has partnered with the FORCE Society for Kids’ Mental Health to publish the “Ori-entation to Child, Youth & Family Mental Health and Substance Use Ser-vices.”
With significant support and input from families, key members of the Aboriginal com-munity and service providers, the orien-tation guide will help families find sup-port, resources and connections to help guide them when children or youth are experiencing mental health and substance use challenges.
The guide is dedi-cated in memory of Hayden Blair Koze-letski and is illus-trated with Koze-letski’s art.
Kozeletski was a 16-year old client at an Island Health youth psychiatric faci lity (Ledger), where she died in December 2010.
The guide was devel-oped through a part-nership between Island Health and the FORCE after a jury recommen-dation to the coroners’ inquest into Kozelets-
ki’s death.Copies of the Ori-
entation Guide will be made available at hospital emergency departments, physician offices and at Mental Health offices on the North Island.
Copies are a lso available on the Island Health and FORCE websites:

KRISTEN DOUGLASCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
T h e S t r a t h c o n a Regional District has approved in principle a slight tax increase for Campbell River tax pay-ers.
The regional district’s board of directors last Thursday supported a 2014 budget that includes an $11 increase for the average assessed Camp-bell River home over last year’s residential tax rate.
Dawn Christenson, the regional district’s finan-cial services manager, said the increase can be attributed to property assessments done by the BC Assessment Author-ity.
“What’s happening with the assessments is that two jurisdictions were given assessment increases,” Christenson told the board during a budget slideshow presen-tation.
Those two communi-ties are Campbell River and Cortes Island. Cortes will see taxes increase by $26 based on the aver-age assessed home of $345,000.
The only other area within the regional dis-trict to see a tax hike in 2014 is Area C (Quadra Island), with a slight $1 tax increase for the aver-age assessed home.
Sayward will see its taxes go down by $8 while Tahsis and the Kyuquot/Nootka portion of Area A will see $1 reductions.
Area D will receive
an approximate $98 tax break in 2014 while the Sayward portion of Area A will see a whopping $118 decrease in taxes in 2014.
Christenson said the significant reduction is due in part to changes in the fire protection services and solid waste contracts.
Zeballos and Gold River will see no change in the tax rate for 2014.
Solid waste user fees for Sayward and Cortes Island will remain the same in 2014 at $160 and $92 respectively while Quathiaski Cover sewer fees will go down to $497 in 2014, from $562 in 2013, thanks to a grant from the province.
Area D water rates for the Craig Road area are budgeted at $353 in 2014, up from the 2013 rate of $260. However, the 2014 rate is pending the outcome of ongoing negotiations with the city of Campbell River which supplies the water.
Brenda Leigh, director for Area D, also slightly tweaked the tax rate for Area D by reducing Area D’s grant-in-aid budget to the 2013 level.
Leigh said she has been receiving grant-in-aid requests from commu-nity groups that are less than last year’s amount.
The regional district board is expected to give first, second and third readings to the budget at its March 12 board meet-ing, with final adoption expected March 27.

The figures compiled by B.C.’s school districts about the cost of implementing a court ruling by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Susan Griffin are staggering.
Campbell River School District figures it would cost an additional $3.1 million in the first year alone to restore class size and composition to the 2002 level, as per a contract between the provincial government and B.C. Teachers Federation which was arbitrarily suspended by the province at that time. The contract had been imposed,
against their will, on school districts in 1999 by the NDP government headed by Premier Glen Clark.
Since the 2002 decision to take the class size and composition limits out of the contract, the BCTF has fought vigorously to get them back. The union launched lawsuits, went on an illegal strike (and gained significant public support) and, thus far, has won two lawsuits in Justice Griffin’s courtroom.
In the first case, she ordered the BCTF and government to bargain and address the class size and composition issues. She gave the government a year to implement her ruling. Bargaining did take place, albeit at a glacial pace, and there was no resolution within the year. The union went back to the judge, and she ordered the former contract reinstated. The government says that would cost at least $500 million annually.
The province has now appealed that ruling to the B.C. Court of Appeal, which said last week that there is no immediate need to go back to the 2002 conditions, until the appeal is heard. While that gives school districts some breathing room, it is obvious this issue needs to be resolved once and for all.
Parents and students deserve some certainty. The BCTF is flexing its muscles, and is taking a strike vote this week — and it will be very surprising if there is not some job action, either at the end of this school year or at the beginning of the next one.
While the government has certainly provoked the union on a number of occasions, the union’s blithe

Further to your article in Wednesday’s paper (Feb.19), I would like to congratulate the teachers of Ecole des Deux Monde for their wonderful article on Feb. 12, telling us about their outdoor forest project to prevent a nature deficit disorder in their K-1 children.
Not only did the article give us insight into the need for outdoor forest play.
Back to the nature-deficit idea. How well I remember as a child wondering how my in-town friends filled their lives with excitement when there were no cows for them to milk and herd, no pigs to feed, no eggs to collect, or hay to sleep on in the hayloft. My city cousins came to visit and the first thing they did was trip off to the pigsty to see if there were any young piglets to pick up and cuddle, not something we ever did. They were starved for closeness to nature while we would get excited about a trip into town or to the big city once or twice a year.
Growing up within nature’s full spectrum can only be a good thing. As Noam Chomsky so ably says, “Ordinary people who do creative things can help change the world”, I say thank you to the teachers, especially Vachon and Dal-laire, at EDM for putting their creative idea into practice.

Letters
Congratulations EDM
We welcome your opinions on stories and issues published in our pages as well as issues of broader concern encountered elsewhere. Please keep your letters brief. We reserve the right to edit for length and liability. E-mail them to [email protected]
Dear editor: you’re a doofus and a bad dresser – AnonymousI often get letters to the editor without
a name attached to them. Sometimes it’s signed “Name Withheld” or first name, last initial. Then there’s the “Disgrun-tled Taxpayer” or “Anonymous” and the ubiquitous “Resident of Campbell River” – frequently, a “Long Time Resi-dent.”
You don’t see these in our paper, of course, because we don’t run letters that don’t have a name signed to them. It’s our policy.
If you dropped off a letter to the editor without your name and a contact phone number on it somewhere, you’re prob-ably wondering where that letter is right now. Well, it’s either in my recycling box or it’s already been re-pulped soon to become another paper product.
We don’t run unsigned letters to
the editor. But it’s amazing how many people don’t notice this, judging by the continuing submission of letters to the editor with no name on them.
It amazes me how many people think they can drop off a blank envelope con-taining a multi-page submission with no name attached to it whatsoever. What do you think this is? The internet?
Sorry, but you do not get to blast your mouth off without people knowing who you are. I joked about the internet but we don’t even allow unsigned submis-sions on our web page. You can submit a comment on an story anonymously or with a fake name, but it will be removed from our website as soon as I notice it.
I once heard it said that, if it’s worth saying, it’s worth signing your name to it. And I live by that. Just as you see my
name attached to my opinions on the left of this missive, you, too, will be required to put your name to your submission.
And, in case, you’re wondering about the editorial at the top of the page, it doesn’t have a name but it’s a comment that the editor of this paper stands behind. That’s why it’s called an editorial. It’s a statement from this paper – ulti-mately, its owner and staff. You know who’s standing behind it.
There’s a number of reasons why we don’t publish unsigned submissions. By signing your name to it, you take responsibility for the accuracy – to the best of your knowledge – of what you’ve written.
You’re also more likely to be sensitive about what you say. Although, as the editor, I won’t let racist or libelous state-
ments go through. Now, you may ques-tion my judgement on that and that’s your prerogative. But there are legal limitations on slander and libel and I’ve got a pretty good handle on them. If I have any doubt, I do have access to a legal opinion on it. There are also laws regarding “hate mail” that’s racially-oriented.
With the rise of e-mail, social media and web forums, people have become used to the idea of firing off their opin-ion of something – or someone – with-out any worry about repercussions. It’s one development in our digital age that’s not such a good thing.
Sometimes it seems there’s a compel-ling reason to allow anonymity. Some-one may be concerned about her job or

a friend or family mem-bers’. Or it may identify a person dealing with a condition that has a social stigma attached to it. And those are always legitimate.
But it raises the pos-sibility that they could be fake or not true. The reader doesn’t know. At the very least, you hope the editor knows who this person is and has all the contact information filed away.
But if you’ve got all that
information, consider how much more power-ful it becomes when you see that person’s name attached.
First of all, consider how brave that person is to speak out about the issue or situation. Con-sider how authoritative that statement becomes when you know who said it – you can’t ques-tion the legitimacy of that experience, because they’ve lived it.
On those kinds of issues though, I’m more
sympathetic – but I’ve still not found reason enough to withhold a name. What I won’t tol-erate are people who won’t sign their name to a letter criticizing the city or the RCMP or some authority like that. The implication is that a city employee is going to hunt you down and slap you with a large tax bill because you dared to speak out against your local government! You see how ridiculous that sounds?
Or if you say some-thing against the RCMP, they’re going to lay in wait on Dogwood Street and when they pull you over to check your licence, they’ll hear a “ping!” as a warning pops up on their com-puter identifying you as a person who felt RCMP officers are paid too
much! Oh man, you’re getting a ticket for sure!
Believe me, if that kind of thing were to happen, you can bet we’d do a story on it. But it doesn’t happen. You have legal rights and the Mount-ies are not laying in wait for the opportunity to deprive you of them. That’s ludicrous
But you do have a right...no, you have an obligation to speak out and the letter to the edi-tor section is a place
where you can do it. But you’ve got to sign your name to it.
And don’t make it too long either.

ignorance of the province’s fiscal state is also grating. An additional $500 million per year comes from just one source — taxpayers. Teachers are already well-paid, and while their jobs certainly come with a great number of challenges, they aren’t the only ones.
The B.C. economy is far from robust, and many people are struggling to get by. High housing prices, rising user fees paid
to agencies like the Medical Services Plan, TransLink, ICBC, TrEO and BC Hydro and the challenges of finding good-paying jobs all combine to make it tough for many.
Teachers deserve to be treated fairly and in a responsible way, and breaking contracts is no way to sort out disagreements. However, they also need to engage in meaningful bargaining with the provincial government, and not create even more uncertainty within
the education system.If B.C.’s economy is
to return to its robust state, it requires a well-educated population. Teachers are a critical and essential part of that solution. They deserve a fair contract, and they also need to remember who is paying their wages and benefits — taxpayers.
More focus on students, by both the BCTF and the province, and less political rhetoric, is badly needed.

Retirement can be viewed as a series of stops-and-starts. For example, stop scheduling your life around work hours and start going with your personal lifestyle fl ow. Stop stressing about your morning and evening commutes and start driving when you want. Stop worrying about project deadlines and start engaging in personal interest projects and pastimes on your own timelines.
Tax planning is one thing that defi nitely should not stop when your employment stops. Post-retirement tax strategies are vital to maintaining the retirement lifestyle you want for all the years of your retirement. Start with these three income-protecting objectives:
1. Always take full advantage of all the direct tax deductions available to you.2. Keep your net income and taxable income low enough to avoid such potential pitfalls as the Old Age Security (OAS) clawback or losing out on the age credit and possibly the GST/HST credit.3. Ensure that your monthly cash fl ow is not eroded by increases in the cost of living
and that all your investments will last a lifetime.
In keeping with these three objectives, here are some other important post-retirement tax-reduction and income-protection strategies:
• Plan Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF) withdrawals Withdrawals from investments held in your RRIF are fully taxable – so manage your taxable income by withdrawing only amounts that are required. • Reduce taxes through tax effi cient asset allocation Keep fully-taxable, interest-generating investments inside a tax-deferred Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) or RRIF as long as possible while keeping assets that are more tax-effi cient those that generate capital gains or Canadian dividends – outside your registered plans. • Take full advantage of all available tax credits and deductions Don’t forget the age credit for those aged 65 and older, the pension income credit and medical expense credit.• Reduce your taxes by splitting Canada or Québec
Pension Plan (CPP/QPP) income with your spouse When your spouse has a lower CPP/QPP entitlement and is in a lower tax bracket.• Contribute to a spousal RRSP You must convert your RRSP to a RRIF no later than December 31 of the year in which the owner attains age 71.
Talk to your professional advisor about smart tax-planning an investment strategies that make sense for your retirement – like investing in a Monthly Income Portfolio (MIP) that can protect your income against infl ation and generate stable and reliable income distribution (outside your RRIF or RRSP) and potentially higher long-term growth – so you’ll continue to have the income you need for all your retirement years.

The Op-Ed of Feb. 18 by Morgan Ostler is full of misleading informa-tion, the hallmark of the anti-GMO (or geneti-cally engineered, GE) movement.
The ban on GE crops in Europe was struck down by their highest court for “lack of evidence of harm to humans or the environment.”
France recently tried to reinstate it but their sen-ate rejected the new law for the same reasons.
Critics of GE crops and derived food claim food
safety concerns but have not been able to find a single documented case of harm after almost 20 years of commercial GE crops and over three tril-lion meals containing ingredients from these crops.
The World Health Organization 2013 docu-ment-Twenty Questions on GMO’s is clear when they say:
“GM foods currently available on the inter-national market have passed risk assessments and are not likely to
present risks for human health. In addition, no effects on human health have been shown as a result of the consump-tion of such foods by the general population in the countries where they have been approved.” – WHO 2013
In 2012, Richmond City Council decided they wanted to ban GE crops from their munici-pality. They asked the Vanc ouve r C o as t a l Health Authority for an opinion of GE crops and derived food. This was
the response: “There is no evidence
that Health Canada approved GE foods and food crops are any less safe for human health than non-GE varieties.
“There is no public health reason for a ban on genetically engi-neered trees, plants and crops as proposed by the resolution to Council.” – VCHA 2012
The American Asso-ciation for the Advance-ment of Science said it well:
“Moreover, the AAAS
Board said, the World Health Organization, the American Medical Asso-ciation, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, the British Royal Soci-ety, and ‘every other respected organization that has examined the evidence has come to the same conclusion: con-suming foods containing ingredients derived from GM crops is no riskier than consuming the same foods containing ingredients from crop plants modified by con-ventional plant improve-
m e nt t e ch n i qu e s .’” – (AAAS 2012)
The average person is not trained in the sci-ences involved with GE crops and is unable to differentiate between the real science and the pro-lific pseudo-science that is designed to scare not educate.
Critics of GE crops reject global science and continually bring for-ward activist literature as evidence of harm from GE crops and derived food.
GMO Myths and
Truths is an excellent example of the pseudo-science.
World experts are not fooled.
Campbell River Coun-cil should pay attention to the overwhelming scientific opinion on the safety of GE crops and food as public policy based on pseudo-science and resulting fear is bad public policy.

Gets some fibre
Back by popular demand, the second annual Fibre Fest will take place May 2, 3 and 4 at the Campbell River Community Centre.
And this year, the event has expanded, thanks to an exhibit, guided tour and talk about the history of coastal textiles at the Museum at Campbell River.
Register soon for three fabulous days of spinning, weaving, knitting, crocheting, quilting, appliqué, embroidery, tatting and felting. This year’s feature artist will be Sally Melville, from Ottawa.
“Fibre Fest 2014 will feature basically anything people do using fibre!” says Jennifer Furst, auxiliary programmer with the City of Campbell River Recreation and Culture Department. “Last year was a huge success and we anticipate
a very large turnout once again thanks to lots of free demonstrations, a variety of workshops and much, much more.”
Along with hands-on learning opportunities, Fibre Fest 2014 will feature a fibre market showcasing vendors from
all over Vancouver Island, a People’s Choice Gallery (showcasing local fibre artisans), the Fibre Café and lots of networking opportunities.
Workshop registration starts March 7. Information is available at 250-286-1161.
Paul RudanCampbell RiveR miRRoR
This Friday, the talented Cana-dian guitarist
Jesse Cook and his back-ing players return to Campbell River’s Tide-mark Theatre.
They’ll be featuring music from “The Blue Guitar,” Cook’s eighth studio album.
The album is a depar-ture from anything resembling flamenco.
Instead, Cook has produced a captivating album with a sound that allows listeners to appre-ciate each musician’s contribution.
The live show will also include songs from his more familiar work: fla-menco rumba, jazz, and many forms of world music.
Joining Cook on stage will be Chris Church,
Rosendo “Chendy” Leon, Nicholas Her-nandez and Dennis Mohammed.
Last Friday, during a tour stop in Red Deer, Alberta, Cook spoke with the Mirror about
his music:Q. CR Mirror: When
did you first learn to play guitar?
A. Jesse Cook: I started when I was six…I think I’ve done 19 years of music study, but
it’s a lifetime pursuit.Q. CRM: Who influ-
enced you?A. Cook: Paco de
Lucia was a huge influ-ence. He passed away while we were on tour – a very sad day. We dedi-
cated a concert to him and we’ve been sitting in the bus playing Paco music…he changed the landscape of flamenco.
Q. CRM: If you were not a musician, what would you be doing?
A. Cook: I would be a pool hustler! I have a table. I also might work at Starbucks; I make a mean expresso.”
Q. CRM:Who would you like to perform with?
A. Cook: There’s a world of musicians I’d like to play with…I’m a huge Peter Gabriel fan, but I never got Genesis.”
Q. CRM: Favourite guitar?
A. Cook: Such a tough question! I have a lot of beautiful instruments. But the Conde Herma-nos is considered the Stradivarius of flamenco guitars. It’s the one you
hear on all my records, but I don’t consider what I do as flamenco, it’s a hybrid.
Q. CRM:Do you write when you’re touring?
A. Cook: Oddly enough, never. If I write anything on tour I’d be amazed. Touring is like training for a marathon and it takes all your focus. It’s all about protecting your health and the health of your fingers.
Q. CRM: So what do you do for health and nutrition while you’re touring?
A. Cook: It all starts with a big cappuc-cino – we have our own expresso machine on the bus. I try to eat healthy for the first two meals of the day because with number three, who knows? I practise yoga and go for long
walks, take pictures of the places we visit, but I haven’t got out of the bus today which is kind of sad. It’s freezing out there.”
Q. CRM: What the-atre would you like to perform in? Somewhere you haven’t been?
A. Cook: I’d love to play the Royal Albert Hall (in London, Eng-land), but our goal, as a band, is to play Carnegie Hall in 2015. This year we’re playing at the Town Hall in New York City, it’s just one stop away!”
n There’s still a few seats available for Fri-day’s concert at the Tidemark. Tickets are $47.50 plus taxes at the box office or call 250-287-7465. This is a licensed event so you need to be 19 or older.

Ready to rollWith names like Foxie McMuff, Ballsy Benoit and Lumber Smack, Campbell River’s roller girls will � oor you with the rock ‘em sock ‘em style of Roller Derby
When Kim Emsley-Leik rollerskates around a rink, it’s no leisurely roll.
She takes numbers and clears bodies.
Emsley-Leik is one of a growing number of local women who have taken up the thrilling sport of roller derby.
But it’s more than a sport. It has a culture all its own. It even comes with its own rough and cheeky nicknames.
At the rink, Emsley-Leik becomes Foxie McMuff and her job as a blocker is to block the opposing team’s jammer from passing Emsley-Leik’s fellow blockers and scoring points. If the jammer gets around twice, she racks up one point for each skater she passes on the second lap.
Emsley-Leik is one of seven from Campbell River who skate for the Rink Minx, a team based out of the Comox Valley. The other members are: Lind-sey Ryzak, who’s known around the rink as Lita Riot, Peggy Benoit (Ballsy Benoit), Lisa Jackson (Whiskey Jack), Chantelle McPherson (Chantos San-chez), Kari Barker (Swifty), and Taisa Brown (Lumber Smack).
Though so many members of Rink Minx call Campbell River home, the team has had a dif� cult time bringing the sport to the River City.
“What’s challenging is � nding the space,” Emsley-Leik says. “A lot of facil-ity staff assume our roller skates will ruin the � oor, which is not the case. So we practice in Courtenay, which is unfortunate because half the team is from Campbell River.”
But having said that, Rink Minx will be hosting its � rst ever Campbell Riv-er bout at Strathcona Gardens on Saturday, July 5.
Emsley-Leik said she hopes the bout, which will attract teams from all over Vancou-ver Island, will show the viability of having the sport in Campbell River.
“Every time we host a bout there’s an in� ux of skaters,” Emsley-Leik says. “They spend money on hotels, on restaurants, they go shopping, they go to bars. The more events we have, it only bene� ts the community in the long run. People want events to go to, they want to be entertained.”
And roller derby is no doubt entertaining. It’s a full contact sport full of positional, or booty blocking, ride outs, and hip whips. For that reason, each skater must wear full
gear which includes a helmet, mouth and wrist guards, knee pads, elbow pads, and roller skates.
While serious injuries are rare, Emsley-Leik says she does come home with some “wicked” bruises. “We call them trophy bruises,” she says smiling. “They’re these huge things sometimes. We’re actually kind of proud of them.”
But she enjoys it all the same. “I just love to skate,” says Emsley-Leik, a former � g-ure skater, who � rst got into the sport while living in her hometown of Williams Lake. “I’ve always loved to skate. I like being a part of a team atmosphere. It also promotes � tness. We’re always trying to � nd a way to up the bar just one more notch.”
Emsley-Leik and teammate Melicious Mooose (Melissa Curtis) have even started roll-
er skating from Courtenay to Campbell River on Sunday mornings after bouts, leaving Courtenay at 4 a.m. and winding up with breakfast at the Dolphins Resort.
Bouts are typically held Saturday nights at the Comox Valley Sports Centre be-tween May and July. But Emsley-Leik says the team is trying hard to bring some of the games to Campbell River. “I think the Campbell River girls de� nitely
have a certain amount of pride in trying to bring the sport to Campbell River be-cause we live here, it’s our hometown,” Emsley-Leik says.
For more information on Rink Minx or to sign up for the team look for Rink Minx Roller Girls on Facebook.
“We’re always accepting fresh meat!” Emsley-Leik says.

Campbell River had an outstanding perfor-mance at the 2014 BC High School Wrestling Championships which wrapped up Saturday in Prince George.
Brett Nelson of Tim-berline Secondary won the first Male Provincial Title from Campbell River in 12 years.
Nelson dominated his way to the 60 kg finals where he faced Safi Sharrar, a Burnaby wres-tler to whom he had lost earlier this year.
Rather than avoiding the rematch, Nelson spe-cifically chose to wrestle this weight in order to even the score with Sharrar.
In the finals, with his parents in attendance, Nels on conf ident ly avenged the loss, defeat-ing Sharrar 12-2.
For Nelson, who has been wrestling since Grade 5 and has placed
3rd, 3rd, 2nd, at previous championships, it was a dream come true.
“I have gone to bed every night picturing myself winning that championship,” he said afterwards. “Sometimes when you wait a long time for something it isn’t as fulfilling as you expected…this is not one of those times.”
Nelson is currently exploring his options to pursue wrestling at the post-secondary level.
Carihi had the break-out star of the tourna-ment in Grade 10 wres-tler Ali McPhee.
Coming into the tour-nament McPhee had been undefeated all year long in B.C. She kept her streak alive bye winning four straight matches at 64kg and claiming her first provincial title.
In the finals she won a close match 6-4.
“I just wanted to
improve on my placing from last year,” she said, “I’m so happy, I can’t stop smiling.”
Timberline wrestler Conlan Foy overcame a serious injury in the 51kg
semi-final, wrestling his way to a bronze medal finish on a severely sprained ankle.
“The doctor’s said he was good to go and that was all he needed,” said his coach, Paul Murphy. “It is one of the gutsiest performances I have seen at this tournament,” he added.
Rounding out the results with 5th place finishes were Timber-line’s Dawson Mckay, and Carihi’s Hailey Dean.
“They have worked so hard. Not just this year, but in the years leading up to this,” said Jason Kerluck, a Carihi coach who’s also president of the Campbell River Wrestling Association. “It is very satisfying to see all that effort pay off.”
Next up for the wres-tlers are the National Championships, tak-ing place April 4-6 in Guelph, Ontario.
Jordan Rauser’s power play goal was all the Storm needed to advance to the semi-final in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League.
Campbell River skated to a 3-0 victory over the Nanaimo Buccaneers Friday night at the Rod Brind’Amour Arena to clinch the seven-game series 4-2.
Backup goalie Russell Sanderson got the call and turned away 40 shots for the shutout.
Rauser brought the fans to their feet at 10:19 of the first period. With the man advantage, the Storm had the Bucs’ penalty kill running around in their own end until Rauser finally found the back of the net with assists to Brendan deVries and Trent John-son.
In the second, the Storm PK was at its finest, fending off five Nanaimo power plays, including an extended 5-on-3 opportunity.
The Bucs’ didn’t fare
so well down a man. At 12:35, deVries scored on the power play from Johnson and captain Brayden Taekema to go up 2-0. The Storm went on the attack after that and just 1:29 later, Rauser netted his second of the night from Curtis Toneff and Josiah Friesen.
After Nanaimo failed to score with the two-man advantage, their for-wards ran out of steam.
The Storm will have its hands full in the semis against the Victoria Cougars, who finished first overall in the South Division.
Game one is Thursday night in Victoria and game two is Friday night, in Campbell River, at the Brindy, and Storm owner Kevin Spooner is hoping to seek a packed crowd.
“We need to fill this place up like we used to!” he said, pumped up fol-lowing the series victory. “These kids are playing really good hockey right now, let’s fill this place up!”
Storm advance, Victoria awaits
Teammates mob Jordan Rauser (27) after his first period power play goal. That was all the Storm needed in skating to a 3-0 home victory over Nanaimo to clinch the first-round playoff series.

“It’s an opportunity to get together with hun-dreds of people who all love the same thing! We
get to be in a bubble of creativity and share each others work,” Christine Knight, Carihi’s senior drama teacher, says about the North Island Regional Drama Fes-
tival. Around 200 students
from 13 schools, from Ladysmith to Port Hardy, came to Camp-bell River Feb. 22-23 to participate in the festival as a part of the Associa-tion of BC Drama Edu-cators.
Students participate in workshops throughout the day to expand their knowledge in perform-ing arts as well as the technology aspects. Ultimately, they pick up useful tips from regional professionals excited about passing on their experience. This year highlight workshops included mask work with Tina Biello, Intro to Clown Play with Pris-cilla Costa, improvisa-tion with Graham Myers and Stage Combat

At Carihi, there are many pro-grams linked
to the events and over-all functioning of the school.
Most of these activi-ties can be taken as courses and one of those is called Food Service Studies where any student can learn how to cook food and serve the public during lunch hours. The work
is hands on, great for beginners, and is a fan-tastic way to make new friends.
One student at Carihi, Emily Bertrand, took the baking course, which is a branch of food services, dur-ing her first semester because she loved work-ing with food and espe-cially loved the baking aspect of it.
“You’d think it’s super busy with all of the peo-ple, but it’s actually a lot of fun getting to know
everyone so well,” says Bertrand.
The work the class did daily was a bit inconsis-tent, but for Bertrand, she liked being ready for anything, even if that included just doing the dishes.
“We were productive every day,” says Ber-trand. “We wanted to be on top of everything.”
The first week of classes is just training, then the real fun begins. The students continue to help cooking and serving through lunch hour. In total, there are around 22 students who work in the cafete-ria, who then split up into groups for serving throughout the week, not including Friday.
Chef Jessica Mann is the teacher of all these courses. Because she loves kids and cooking, she is the right person for the job. She gives a lot of her personal time for the success of the cafeteria.
Both Mann and Ber-trand agree that cooking is an essential part of living, and that working in the cafeteria is one of the best places to start.

The North Island Festival for Performing Arts (NIFPA) is an excellent
venue for improvement and competition.
Dance, music and speech arts students from Port Hardy to Courtney participate in the annual festival which continues until March 8. Each discipline has an adjudicator – a profes-sional who gives feedback on the students’ performance.
The festival takes place in Courtney at the Sid Williams
and the Little Red Church The-atre. Getting to play in a large venue is a great experience for young performers, even if the audience is comprised of par-ents.
The most promising young artists in each section: strings, fiddle, classical guitar, and dance – ballet, modern, stage and street – are chosen to go to provincials, a five-day event including work-shops and adjudications.
Preparing for the festival can “get a bit heavy in addition to homework,” according to Natalia Matheson, a Carihi student and pianist.
Showcasing your best work is stressful, whether you are going into it with a competitive mind-set or not.
“You try to think of it as not competitive so you can just do your best and learn for future performances,” Matheson says.
NIFPA is also a great way for artists to connect with people who are doing the same thing as them and see their peers improvements year after year.
A selection of performers will participate in showcases open to the public. Check the website, www.nifpa.org for more infor-mation.

Be part of the process, get involved and provide input into the future of the Alder Street corridor.
The City of Campbell River is reviewing oppor-tunities to improve Alder Street – and public input is sought on how best to balance Alder Street’s role as one of the pri-mary north-south routes with safe access to and from the many single-family homes along this 7.5 kilometre street.
The city also wants residents’ opinions on sidewalk improvements, how to better accom-modate bicycles and bus stop upgrades.
The first opportunity for people to get involved will be at a public open house on Wednesday, March 12 between 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. at the Sportsplex.
At the open house session, people will see examples of options that could be considered for this route, based on a consultant’s initial review of the project.
B oulevard Traf f ic Group and City staff will be on hand to discuss options and gather pub-lic feedback as we work towards the next steps for this important transpor-tation corridor.
The open house mate-rial will also reference the City’s 2012 Master Transportation Plan – a vision for the commu-nity’s multi-modal trans-portation system for the next 25 years.
People can also moni-tor the corridor review by visiting the City’s website for updates and additional opportunities to provide input – or by following the City’s Face-book Page. View the City
of Campbell River’s Mas-ter Transportation Plan online at www.campbell-river.ca under Roads and Transportation / Studies.
The Alder Street cor-ridor review is being completed by Boulevard
Transportation Group, an Island-based trans-portation consulting firm with experience undertaking similar cor-ridor planning studies.

with Robinson Wilson. Other workshops avail-able included lighting, stage-managing, voice, character developing, and the wildly popular Broadway dancing with Carihi’s own Lisa Marie Thompson.
In the evening, the students gathered at the Timberline Theatre to watch plays competing to show at provincials. This year, 13 plays were showcased over the course of three nights, ranging between student written, zombie themed, to classic theatrical portrayals, all varied in theatre styles.
“It’s special to drama kids, because for three days they get to be with other people who understand their world and support them in the theatrical work they do,” Knight says. “In some schools ‘drama kids’ are marginalized, so Drama Fest is great for making everyone feel welcome, included and appreci-ated. “The magic and intensity of the North Island Regional Drama Fest is something dif-ficult to describe with-out using the words “immense support, appreciation, and love.”
