JOCELYN DOLLCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

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

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

“For a lemonade stand I’m very surprised at how good she did,” said proud mom Sasha with a laugh. “My lemonade stands were never like that.”

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

So far Brooklyn is the young-est fundraiser the Mirror has come across but she is not the only Camp-bell Riverite dedicated to the cause

of helping residents of the northern Alberta city who fled the huge forest fire that burned parts of the city to the ground and displaced more than 80,000 people. Campbell River has a connection with the city either through relatives and former neighbours who left this community to find work after the closure of the Elk Falls pulp mill or who work there but maintain their homes here.

Kyla May, a local hair-stylist, is cutting hair. She

wants to direct all of the proceeds towards the rebuilding of the treat-ment and detox centre in Fort McMurrary that her sister, who is a resi-dent of the now evacu-ated city, said burned to the ground. May said she thinks centres like this will become even more important as peo-ple deal with the stress of rebuilding the city.

For other locals, rais-ing money isn’t enough.

A d a m S o r e n s o n packed up his holiday trailer and left for north-ern Alberta on Tuesday

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

Sorenson’s brother, sister-in-law and neph-ews live in Fort McMur-ray. Since being evacu-ated, they met a family whose house has burned down. The family will be using Sorenson’s holiday trailer for the time being.

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

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

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

He is also taking some of the goods collected by the team at Bill Howich Chrysler. In another week or so the dealer-ship is loading a semi-trailer, donated by Geoff and Shannon from Qual-ity Designs in Campbell River and Gene from Orlicks Inc. in Calgary, and sending the rest of the donations they col-lect to Alberta.

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

The dealership has a truck parked in front of Superstore where shop-pers can donate grocer-ies. As of Monday, Roel-ants said they don’t know exactly where they are going to send the dona-tions, but they are going

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

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

Barb Izard, a teacher at Timberline Second-ary, is getting the whole school district on board. The fundraiser officially started on Monday and she is expecting the classes to get creative.

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

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

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

The Mirror’s own par-ent company, BlackPress has a crowd funding page where readers can donate to the Red Cross. It can be found at https://www.blackpress4good.com/blackpress4fortmac

It’s official.Residential property

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

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

T h e r e s i d e n t i a l increase translates to an extra $37 in property taxes for the average assessed Campbell River home.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Managed Forest class, by 44.1 per cent to align those property classes with with the provincial averages.

Brodie said “tax levies are listed on the annual tax notices which will be sent to each property owner prior to the end of May.”

Campbell River Mirror graphic designer

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

The Silver Quill Award recognizes ser-vice of 25 years or more. The purpose of the hon-our is to pay tribute to those who have served Canada’s newspaper industry regardless of position or title for a minimum 25 years.

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

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

In 1996 Hueller trans-ferred to the Parksville/

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

cept.During 2005, Hueller

transferred to Camp-bell River where she joined the Mirror staff. During her time in Campbell River, she had the opportunity to work within her com-munity. In 2008, she was a finalist in the logo

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

In 2015, she won a CCNA Best Ideas Award for Promotional Cam-paign and recently, she won silver at the 2016 Ma Murray Newspaper Awards for Best Special Section (Remembrance Day). n Meanwhile, at the

Ma Murray Awards, the Campbell River Mirror won two Silver Awards, one for General Excel-lence and one for Spe-cial Section Award (for our Remembrance Day section) and third place in the Classified Award for our classified ad sec-tion.

Thrifty Foods in Campbell River, Courtenay,

Comox and Parksville have teamed up to help raise funds to fight cys-tic fibrosis.

Beginning this week they will be exchanging carnations for a dona-tion to Cystic Fibrosis Canada.

Manager of the Camp-bell River store, Doug Riederer said, “we want to help people with cystic fibrosis – they go through so much on a daily basis just to stay

alive. “This is something

we can do to make their lives a little better. We are proud to support the local chapter of Cystic Fibrosis Canada”.

Four year old Maysa who has cystic fibrosis (CF) spends several hours a day doing phys-iotherapy and using inhaled medications to help clear her lungs.

She is on a special diet and takes a multitude of pills to aid her diges-tions because CF also affects the digestive

system. Her parents are con-

stantly working to keep Maysa as healthy as pos-sible.

Sarah Milligan, May-sa’s Mom said, “we are very grateful to Thrifty Foods for all they are doing to help. We can’t wait for the day when CF will stand for Cure Found.”

You can help by visit-ing Thrifty Foods in the month of May and accepting a carnation for a donation to Cystic Fibrosis Canada.

Making a splashCampbell River Kinsmen are doing their part to helping the commu-nity – particularly kids – be fit and active by donating to the ongoing fundraising effort to install a climb-ing wall at the Strathcona Gardens pool. Susan Bullock, Strathcona Gardens program manager, posed with a ‘cheque’ representing the Kinsmen’s $3,000 donation to the fund with Kinsmen Al Buxton, Robert Nissila, Mark Sullivan, Jim Costain and Rob Bigelow on hand. Watch for the Kinsmen’s Beer Fest planned for Oct. 22 which will con-tribute to the climbing wall.

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

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

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

Following the Kelowna wildfire in 2003 in which 239 homes were lost and 27,000 people evacuated, (compared to 1,600 buildings in Fort McMurray, and 90,000 evacuated) and the report, Firestorm 2003, the B.C. government pushed cities to develop their own

wildfire protection plans, a set of steps and devel-opment guidelines, such as ensuring fire breaks etc., that could slow or even stop a fire from rac-ing unimpeded through

a city.Campbell River does have its own wildfire protec-

tion plan, which identifies the McIvor Lake area as a high risk location for interface fires.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Increase cities’ fire readiness

Our View

We say: Every city needs to review its wildfire protection plans Perception versus the truth

The other day one of my cousins, who I grew up with, opened up about the emotional and verbal abuse she experi-enced throughout her upbring-ing, abuse that came from her father.

Everything I thought I knew about her and her family was flipped on its head. She seemed so happy and carefree. Her father was always a figure in the background, calm and quiet, I had no idea what went on when I, or one of the many other friends who was often over to play, wasn’t there.

I believed that my perception of their family was the truth. And in a way it was, she admits

that there are happy memories and good times, but that wasn’t the whole story.

What I am tr ying to get at, is that there is always more going on behind the scenes than anyone will ever k n o w a b o u t . We can’t possi-bly understand everything that a person has expe-rienced, every-thing that influ-ences how they make decisions because we weren’t there.

Let me apply this to a more newsworthy example. There

have been nega-tive outbursts to the government of Canada’s deci-sion to decline i n t e r n a t i o n a l assistance in put-ting out the Fort McMurray fire.

I don’t really have an opinion either way. Why? Because I don’t know the whole story. I don’t have enough informa-

tion to have an informed opin-ion.

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

But the people who are mak-ing these decisions do.

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

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

Re: Alistair Taylor’s column of April 29, 2016: “Rip Rap is Crap.”

I’m here to give you an example of when Rip Rap is not, as your appar-ent narrow view of it states, “crap.”

I live on the banks of the Campbell River where in 1990 some riverfront properties had large portions of their yards stripped away by a BC Hydro

knee-jerk decision made when a light flashed miles away in Burnaby on a billboard-size display of our province’s electrical grid. History shows that as well as the irreparable damage done to these properties, the spawning channel adjacent to the Gold River highway was flushed out.

The federal government proceeded to repair the riverbanks with – you guessed it – large boulder rip rap to protect the banks from the North end of 20th avenue downstream to the old log dump. The boulders are

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

If this rip-rap wasn’t here we would

have continually eroding yards and the river would, in following it’s natural course, erode through the Myrt Thompson trail . There would be no riparian bench and scant veg-etation. In their infinite wisdom, the engineers that designed the river bank rip-rap repair missed one very key element called geo-textile. Had this been considered here and at the foreshore, the process of infiltration could have been mitigated. Geo-tex-tile allows water to seep through as the tide floods and when it recedes

the fines are trapped behind it thus preventing continual erosion.

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

Members of a West-ern Forest Products advisory group believe their meetings are dys-functional and a waste of time, according to an internal review con-ducted by the forestry company.

Amy Spencer, direc-tor of communications and government rela-tions for Western Forest Products, said a review of the Mid Island For-estr y Lands Advi-sory Group revealed a degree of dissatisfaction with how meetings are conducted.

“We did advise mem-bers of MIFLAG pri-vately and overall they felt there was dysfunc-tion and that meetings were not a good use of their time,” Spencer said.

In response, Spen-cer said Western has revised its terms of ref-erence.

Key to those changes is a new code of con-duct to ensure meetings are productive.

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

be made personal; and members must keep an open mind with posi-tive feedback.

The internal review and resulting changes to the terms of refer-ence stem from an investigation conducted by SAI Global that was triggered by Strath-cona Regional District Director Gerald Whal-ley appealing Western’s clean audit findings.

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

Whal ley said he angered the foresters by appealing the audit after an incident at a previ-ous meeting, on July 28. Whalley said a motion to allow Western to increase its allowable use of herbicides in the Sayward Valley by three times was declared car-ried following a vote of six in favour and four opposed.

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

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

W h a l l e y s a i d MIFLAG fai led to record a sub-commit-tee’s recommendation that went against allow-ing Western to increase herbicide use three times over.

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

T h e s u b s e q u e n t investigation by SAI found that all parties of MIFLAG should have been consulted on Whalley’s removal.

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

But Whalley said the investigation only took into account the existing minutes of the MIFLAG meet-ings and only involved interviews with him-self and two West-

ern Forest Products employees. The report from SAI Global says the investigation con-sisted of a review of MIFLAG’s terms of ref-erence, minutes from MIFLAG meetings in 2014 and 2015, ver-sion four of a strategic management plan, 2013 and 2014 indi-cator (target) reports, and MIFLAG’s 2014 annual report.

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

Whalley has since appealed the investi-gation.

Spencer, meanwhile, said Western found value in SAI’s investi-gation and the com-pany has decided to implement all eight of the recommendations SAI put forward in its report.

Those recommen-dations include com-pleting minutes from the July and Septem-ber 2015 MIFLAG meetings, reviewing the public participa-tion requirements of MIFLAG, a code of ethics for members, and having the her-bicide subcommittee report its recommenda-tions in a timely man-ner.

MIFLAG, which gen-

erally meets every two months, has yet to meet since the Sept. 22 meet-ing when Whalley was asked to leave.

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

the revised terms of ref-erence which were pre-sented to the Strathcona Regional District board during an in-camera meeting April 28.

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

that it will be up to its board of directors to decide who will sit on MIFLAG.

The regional district board voted at its April 28 meeting to defer the matter of future partici-pation in MIFLAG until a future board meeting.

My marriage feels stale and boring. What can I do about it?It’s easy for relationships to slide into the doldrums, especially when we do the same things, the same way, for years. It’s time to shake things up a little. Partners who are able to talk about their relationship can brainstorm possibilities to liven things up, then pick one or two items and make speci� c, concrete plans together. Even if your partner is a bit resistant, chances are they’ll love the change when you do something differently. Bring an attitude of playfulness to it. Revisit things you’ve enjoyed in the past. Dream up some new ideas. Visit a new place together, dance under the stars, have a picnic at the beach…. Whatever your style, there’s always a way tore-energize yourself and your relationship.

Some gold trivia... The oldest gold artifacts were found at a burial site in Varna Necropolis,Bulgaria. The total weight of the jewelry was 1.5 kilograms of pure gold. The items were dated as early as � fth to fourth century B.C., well before the Pharos of Egypt. Our love and appreciation for handcrafted and very personal items is still as strong today. So if you want to create your own piece of gold history, bring some of your old unused gold to August and help him create your own masterpiece.

Darlene GaratFinancial Advisor

My advisor wants to replace my term life insurance policy but it’s only a couple years old. Should I be doing this?

There are very few reasons why term life insurance should be replaced prior to the renewal date, and, unfortunately, some advisors replace contracts frequently just to generate income rather than to satisfy an actual client need. If you have quit smoking, left a high risk job, or your health has improved, your advisor may be able to apply to have these changes made to your existing insurance contract, resulting in a lower premium – thus no need for a new contract. However, if your needs have changed so you require more insurance, or a different type of coverage, a new policy may be needed. Early replacement may also be warranted if you are nearing an age where premiums can jump dramatically, you need longer term coverage and your policy cannot be converted to a longer term (some can be with no medical underwriting), or rates have dropped signi� cantly, making replacement good for your cash � ow. Each situation is different so make sure there is a good reason for replacing the policy you already have.

Care

How does respite carehelp caregivers? Remember the instructions you receive on the airplane? When the oxygen masks drop from the ceiling, PUT YOURS on FIRST! The same advice applies to caregivers. Caring for a loved one can be a responsibility that is added into an already crowded schedule and adding hours to an already demanding day. Stretching your time and your energy too thin can end with you being the one who cannot function properly. Respite care is your oxygen mask. It gives you time to stop, catch a breath, and recharge. The person who is receiving care is comfortable, getting necessary attention, and can rest easy in the knowledge that you are getting a much deserved break in your schedule. Reaching out to a professional respite-careprovider will ensure that both parties are receiving necessary care and support. Knowing that someone who is trained in the health care profession is providing support and encouragement for your relative enables you to maintain a peaceful state of mind and a guilt-free healthy life balance. With respite services, you can ‘recharge’ without fear that the person relying on your care is being abandoned. Whether it is for the time needed with medical assistance while recovering from a hospital stay, or a short stay with respite while the caregiver attends business meetings, respite care is your support during a challenging situation.

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

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

Kevin Brooks, the city’s development services super-

visor, confirmed Monday that the bylaw amendment was recommended to city staff by local RCMP.

Coun. Michele Babchuk asked Brooks whether giving third reading to the amend-ment would close the door completely on medical mari-juana dispensaries or if other options could still be pursued.

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

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

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

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

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

He said that means it allows

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

Coun. Larry Samson asked city staff to look into the pos-sibility of issuing temporary use permits for dispensaries and to report back to council by August.

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

With a temporary use per-mit, an applicant – in this case a dispensary operator – can apply to the city to con-sider a property use that’s not permitted in the city’s zon-ing bylaw. Each application would be evaluated individu-ally by city staff through a legislative process and then

passed on to council for final approval.

Brooks, in a report to coun-cil prior to Monday’s meet-ing, did caution council that the RCMP does not support the city pursuing temporary use permits or zoning bylaw amendments to permit dis-pensaries until federal legis-lation changes.

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

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

Council was prompted by the RCMP to address the issue of medical marijuana dispensaries after two popped up in the city in early April. Operating in the absence of any federal legislation, the dispensaries caught the eye of local RCMP who raided both Trees and WeeMedical dispensaries last month.

Council continues with bylaw amendment banning marijuana dispensaries

How do I move my Tax Free Savings Account elsewhere?Due to the complicated tax regulations governing Tax Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs), you should always have your Financial Advisor transfer the assets behind the scenes. This simply means the paperwork completed allows the money to move institution to institution. Transferring this way avoids risks of over contribution � nes and penalties. If the money is invested in stocks or non-proprietary mutual funds, your Financial Advisor may be able to move the account “in-kind”, avoiding triggering any deferred service fees. Afterwards, the account can be rebalanced as needed without costing you � nes, penalties, or deferred service charges. Contact us today to discover how to maximize the tax ef� ciency of a TFSA account in your overall Financial Plan.

Let’s celebrate May Better Hearing Month!Summer is on its way and we want to ensure that you can hear all of it. Because hearing loss is gradual, it’s natural to almost “forget” the sounds you’re no longer hearing.

You may have hearing loss if:• You don’t hear birdsong or rustling leaves in the trees • It’s dif� cult hearing children’s voices• It’s hard to hear when there are multiple conversations

By speaking with a hearing care professional you can con� rm whether you’re missing sounds because of hearing loss. A quick and easy test is all it takes.

This month let’s celebrate the sense of hearing. Call us today to book a free hearing test so that you can stay connected to the sounds of summer.

What is Cal-Mag’s Key Role in the Garden ?Calcium, an essential part of theplant’s cell wall structure, improves the absorption of other nutrients by the roots and their translocation within the plant, and contributes to improved disease resistance. Calcium De� cienciesCalcium de� ciency symptoms appearinitially as generally stunted plantgrowth . Cupping of mature leaves is a tell tale sign of a calcium de� ciency. Classic symptoms of a calcium de� ciency include blossom-end rot of tomato (death of the end part of the fruits), tip burn of lettuce, blackheart of celery and death of the growing regions in many plants. Magnesium De� cienciesDe� ciencies typically occur with the middle or lower leaves.

Is it better tobuy a big ad ora small ad? In many instances smaller space ads can be just as effective as a full page ad depending on the content and the purpose of the ad. If you’re planning aone-day-only event and hoping to create interest in a short time you’re probably better off with 1 big splashy ad. If your goal is to create an ongoing interest in your business, or services, then smaller ads can work just as well. You can easily stretch your budget effectively providing you keep your message clear and concise! And remember - consistency is key!

What is the best return on your renovation?Of all the renovations that you may consider, some renovations substantially add to the re-sale value of your home.

For instance, upgrading your windows (29%) and roof (38%)are almost always good investments. Improvements to the kitchen (44%), bathroom (56%), or � ooring (22%) are also very good investments. Adding a � replace (11%) or a new deck may contribute differently to the re-sale value of your home at different price ranges.

Your payback from all renovations varies with the price of your home. These are the 6 simplest and smartest renos for the average home in Canada. Contact me for advice on your particular home.

Upcoming workshop to certify more on-set workers to meet demandMIKE DAVIES

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

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

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

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

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

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

safety, code of conduct and behav-iour expectations on set.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

try, preserves B.C.’s reputation as a globally competitive filming loca-tion and ensures government sup-port for the industry is sustainable for taxpayers.”

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

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

Forbidden Jazz headlines the Royal Coach-

man Pub on Sunday afternoon of May 15. Featuring Jake Masri on trumpet, flugelhorn, & vocals, Michael Eddy on keyboard, Rick Hus-band on bass, & Tom Tinsley on vibes/drums, these seasoned musi-cians attract audiences of all ages by showcas-ing a wide variety of timeless jazz standards plus originals. Repre-senting more than four decades of experience, their unique blend of voice, brass, & strings will weave their col-lective magic through three sets of entertain-ing music.

Keyboard master Michael Eddy is one of the hardest working & sought after pianists in the valley. Although rel-atively new to the area, he has been fortunate enough to collaborate with many of the finest local musicians over the past few years, including those in the Lensmen, Jazztet, DMN, & the CR Big Band. His music degree in classical piano performance has greatly enhanced his love for Jazz. During a long & distinguished career, he has performed with a multitude of groups from Dixie to Rock, and was Musical Director for Keyano College The-atre in Fort McMurray for ten years. Mike is also the recipient of the Alberta Band Director of the Year and of the Alberta Excellence in Teaching Award.

Guitarist Rick Hus-band, has performed extensively in big bands,

traditional/mainstream jazz combos, & country rock groups throughout Vancouver Island. Some of Rick’s well-known collaborations include: Indigo Jazz, (featuring vocalist Dale Grahame, & bassist John Hyde), Jenn Forsland Group, Jazztet, 6th Street, Jazz Noir, DMN & FRNZ, Herb Alpert Tribute Band, Georgia Straight Jazz Band, & CR Little Big Band. He is a com-pelling musician, highly responsive to his fellow players. By integrat-ing improvised lines with familiar motifs & genres, Rick is a master at communicating with his audience.

Joining the trio on vibes is special guest Tom Tinsley. Don’t remind him he has played percussion for almost half a century, because deep inside he still feels like a teen-ager. From humble beginnings, beating on pots & pans in his mother’s kitchen, he eventually studied with four of Vancouver’s

most successful drum-mers (including Lew Hilder, Graham Boyle, Jim Valance, & John Rudolph). In addition to teaching drums at various points in his life, Tom has appeared in a variety of groups performing genres of music such as Jazz (with Al Matheson), Rock (with Jerry Doucette), Latin, Pop, Big Band (with CBC), Musical Theater (with Dis-ney), Symphonic (with Vancouver Symphony Orchestra), Choral, and Modern Dance. Aside from drums, his passion remains the vibraphone (played with 4 mallets), both as a solo instru-ment & in small group settings. We are thrilled to share the stage with Tom & look forward to future collaborations.

No stranger to the local music scene, Jake Masri draws his inspi-ration from classical repertoire to musical theater to Afro-Cuban/New Orleans, Latin, and Bebop styles. His pas-sion for jazz is directly

linked to artists such as Herb Alpert, Miles Davis, Chet Baker, & Arturo Sandoval. As a performance major at VCC, UVIC, & UBC, Jake studied trum-pet with Boyd Hood, Gerald Gerbrecht, & trombonist, Dave Robbins. His studies in jazz exposed him to pros such as Mike Herriot, Bill Clarke, & Hugh Fraser during the local CYMC summer program. Among his favorite vocal instruc-tors are Ann Mortifee, Rhiannon, Ysaye Barn-well, & Wendy Nixon Stothert. Since mov-ing to Comox in 2002, Jake has appeared with Quintessence Brass; 6th Street, Jazztown, & Jazz Noir combos; Sounds of 17, Georgia Straight, Arrowsmith, & CR Big Bands; Zandhunga & Luzna Latin Bands, Strathcona Symphony Orchestra, Herb Alpert Tribute Band; Ralph Barrat & the Sharp 7; and Just in Time Jazz Choir.

The Coachman serves up live jazz

Forbidden Jazz will be headlining jazz night at the Coachman on May 15. Jake Masri will be on trumpet, flugelhorn, & vocals, Michael Eddy on keyboard, Rick Husband on bass and Tom Tinsley on vibes/drums.

Carihi & Timberline Student Art Exhibit at the Tidemark

The Carihi and Timberline Student Art Exhibit will be on display in the Tidemark Art Gallery from April 28 - May 24. The gallery is open Tuesdays and Fridays from 12-4.

On April 30 cel-ebrated natural-ist, broadcaster,

educator and writer, Briony Penn, was awarded the Roderick Haig-Brown Regional Prize for her book The Real Thing: The Natural History of Ian McTaggart Cowan at Government House in Victoria.

It’s fitting that one of her first appearances since winning the prize will be in Campbell River, the home of prize’s late namesake.

Local environmental non-profit organiza-tion, Greenways Land Trust, and the Camp-

bell River Library will host Penn as she introduces her award-winning biography of the “father of Canadian ecology” to the North Island.

Authorized by Cow-an’s family and with the research support and participation of the University of Victoria Libraries, Penn pro-vides an unprecedented and accessible window into the story of this remarkable naturalist. From his formative years roaming the mountains around Vancouver looking for venison to his last years finishing the volumi-

nous and authorita-tive Birds of British Columbia, Cowan’s life provides a unique perspective on a cen-tury of environmental change—with a critical message for the future.

The Campbell River launch of “The Real Thing” will be held on Thursday, May 12 at 6:30 p.m. at the Camp-bell River Library. This is a free event and everyone is welcome. Books will be for sale.

For more information contact Greenways on 250-287-3785 or email [email protected].

While the stark images of devastation coming from the Fort McMurray region are coming in full force, the stories of courage, heroism and people helping people are beginning to trickle in.

People can be incredibly kind and generous in such difficult times, and our amazing Quality Foods team and loyal QF customers are no different. They have told us loud and clear that they want to help.

That’s why John, Noel and Ken with the support of our thoughtful Quality Foods people throughout the company are offering to match up to one billion customer Q-Point donations to aid in the relief of those affected by the Fort McMurray wildfire destruction.

The resulting Q-Points donations will be converted to a monetary donation to the Red Cross, earmarked specifically for this purpose.

Our thoughts are with everyone affected directly and indirectly by this unimaginable situation, and we are encouraged by the spirit shown by those in the face of these challenges.

When crisis strikes, people come together.

INFORMATION

In lovingmemory

Greg was predeceased by his parents George S. Blaney and Mary V. Blaney (nee Beckie) of Ottawa, Ontario, and his spouse Michelle Benjamin. Survived by his sister Anne Blaney (David Barnes); and his children Devin, Tesia (Bradley Braine), Leela, and Hallis Blaney (Erica-May Blaney); his grandchildren Owen and Shayla Braine; and his niece Avril Foster (Darcy Foster).

He graduated from the University of Ottawa with a Doctorate of Medicine in 1974, and Osteopathy from the University of Michigan in 1990. He also trained extensively in Acupuncture and Homeopathy. Greg was a medical doctor, the owner and director of the Stillpoint Center for the Healing Arts, specializing in the treatment of pain and chronic infection, with a focus on osteopathy, Lyme disease and alternative healthcare. He was a trailblazer in his field, a champion of the use of the Marshall Protocol, and a doctor of last resort for many.He was dynamic, charming and engaging. You couldn’t help but be pulled in. He was caring and compassionate, dedicating his life to the care of others. He enjoyed biodynamic gardening, golf, cooking, animals and travel. Well respected in his personal and professional life, loved by many. He will be missed dearly.Flowers gratefully declined. Donations can be made in honour of Greg to the Autoimmunity Research Foundation (autoimmunityresearch.org) and International Lyme & Associated Diseases Society (ilads.org).A private family service was held at Elk Falls Chapel May 6th 2016. A Celebration of Life will be announced at a future date.

Forest Stewardship Plan Amendment

TimberWest Forest Corp., North Island Operation, within the Campbell River and North Island Central Coast Forest Districts gives notice and invites written comment on a proposed amendment to the approved Johnstone Straits Forest Stewardship Plan (FSP). The FSP covers the following geographic areas:

East and West Cracroft Island, East and West Thurlow Island, Sonora Island, Egerton, Hardwicke Island, McLeod Bay, Brooks Bay, Knox Bay, Jackson Bay, and Call Inlet.

This amendment is proposed in order to incorporate the Great Bear Rainforest Order (GBRO), dated January 28, 2016, a higher level plan that contains elements of ecosystem based management. The FSP shows the location of Forest Development Units and provides the results and strategies that the FSP holder will follow in relation to the GBRO.

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

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

North Island College (NIC) is thrilled to be getting more funding for seats in three of their trades programs, two of which are taught in Campbell River.

NIC has received 46 of the recently announced 754 additional trades

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

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

Truck and Transport Mechanics program.

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

NIC also received funding for an addi-

tional 16 seats in their plumbing program, offered at the Comox

Valley campus.The NIC funding is

part of a “$1.5-mil-lion investment by the provincial government to increase training capacity and meet the demands of the grow-ing provincial economy in trades that support a range of industries such as construction, lique-fied natural gas and automotive service,” according to the gov-ernment release on the funding announcement.

MIKE DAVIESCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

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

The gift, raised though a corporate golf chal-lenge at Crown Isle Resort & Golf Com-munity in Comox will

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

“Stan was the inspira-tion behind this idea,” says Dallas Smith, presi-dent of the Nanwako-las Council. “TL’axsam, meaning Red Cod, was the honourary name t he K’ómoks F i rs t Nation gave to Stan

because of his rosy cheeks. Mr. Hagen was an advocate for First Nations and education. This bursary will help ensure his legacy lives on.”

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

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

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

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

support an approximate $1,300 bursary for a stu-dent every year, forever.

“The creation of this bursary not only hon-

ours Mr. Hagen’s mem-ory, but it also ensures that financial circum-stance is no longer a bar-rier to post-secondary education and allows students to achieve their educational goals locally, which is a much health-ier option for both fami-lies and communities,” says executive director of the NIC Foundation, Susan Auchterlonie.

The TL’axsam Memo-rial Bursary was awarded for the first time in 2015 to Christina Smith, a Campbell River student currently enrolled in NIC’s Applied Business Technology program.

For more information about the NIC Founda-tion, their bursary and scholarship opportuni-ties or how to create one, head online to nic.bc.ca/foundation

In Support ofCampbell RiverChapter

For 20 years the Campbell River Kinsmen have proudly been supporti ng the Rod Brind’Amour/Nugent-Hopkins Cysti c Fibrosis Golf Classic. From the very beginning they encouraged and partnered with the CF chapter to make the event a success. Cysti c Fibrosis (CF) has been the Nati onal Service Project of Kin Canada since 1964 and it was a natural fi t that the CR Kinsmen lend their ti me and support for the Golf Tournament to raise funds locally to fi ght CF. Kin clubs support CF research, clinical care and fund local projects right across the country. When they fi rst joined in the fi ght against CF, children with the disease were not expected to live past the age of four. So for roughly every year of Kin support, an extra year of life for a child with CF has been gained! The fi ght against cysti c fi brosis will conti nue to have a special place in the hearts of the Campbell River Kinsmen. They are there for the long haul and will be amongst the fi rst to rejoice when CF stands for “cure found”.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

‘Borrow a Bike’ possibly as early as this summerMIKE DAVIES

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

While École Phoenix Grade 8 student Jamil-iya Wellard was visiting Québec City last sum-mer, she stayed on the campus of Laval Univer-sity and toured the his-toric city using borrowed bikes.

So when she returned home, she began imagin-ing what impact a “Bor-row a Bike” program could have on our own town.

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

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

The program would run Saturdays and Sun-days through July and August from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Wellard told coun-cil.

Her proposal was that

they set up a “mobile office” which would have enough room for a vol-unteer to sit in out of the weather and process the bike loans, along with a dozen or so bikes and some bike racks

If it went forward, Wellard told council, she would personally work to set up a donation centre for second-hand bikes, helmets and locks, and ask local bike shops for donations of time to do tune-ups and main-tenance for the program and have them checked over after every weekend of use.

The proposed pro-gram, Wellard wrote, “would work on a loan system where you would

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

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

Mayor Andy Adams said the idea certainly reflects council’s desire for environmental sus-tainability to be con-sidered while deciding on municipal initiatives to be implemented and

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

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

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

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

Region about helping with.

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

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

Local hockey play-ers Jalen Price, Nolan

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

in the big leagues.In last week’s WHL

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

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

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

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

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

That means it’s cer-tainly an exceptional recognition for a player to be added to a team’s

list.Just because a player

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

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

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

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

“After the Draft is completed, all remain-ing Bantam players become eligible to be listed by WHL Clubs, and many will be added as spots become avail-able on a WHL Club PPL, or as player devel-opment improves at a higher level of hockey.

“While the WHL Ban-tam Draft is an exciting

day for young players, it is important to real-ize that many excel-lent players will not be selected on draft day. For those players not selected, they will still have the opportunity to attend a WHL Train-ing Camp and play in the league in the near future,” the league says.

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

exceptional profes-sional hockey careers in the National Hockey League.

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

Both Fahey and Ubri-aco played for the pro-vincial championship bantam Tyees team while Corrado and Price are former Tyees.

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

Future starsCampbell River’s Tyke Ravens, left, battle against Nanaimo Saturday at Rod Brind’Amour Arena. The Ravens won the game 3-1.

While attending Red Deer College on a partial hockey schol-arship this past sea-son, Campbell River talent Julia Wing was lucky enough to win the league title as well as Rookie of the Year honours.

Two other local area girls, Scotia Bellavance (Campbell River) and Sara Kendall (Comox) have accepted offers to play hockey for the Red Deer Queens’ upcom-ing season as well.

All three of the girls have played in the Campbell River Minor Hockey system.

Former Campbell River Minor Hockey player Julia Wing is garnering attention while on a partial hockey scholarship in Red Deer.
