Mayor Walter Jakeway says city hall is wasting taxpayers’ money.
Jakeway, the keynote speaker at the noon hour Rotary Club’s weekly luncheon, had some tough words for senior city staff.
“City hall is an example of how they’re doing it in the least effec-tive way,” Jakeway told Rotarians gathered at the Discovery Inn Wednesday afternoon. “City staff say how hard they’re working; do I care how hard they’re working? No, I don’t, if the results aren’t there.
“Wasting hard-earned taxpay-ers’ money is not acceptable to me,” Jakeway continued. “I didn’t run to leave things how they are, I ran to shake it up.”
Jakeway, who was elected mayor last November, ran his election campaign on a zero per cent tax increase platform. After coun-cil chose last month to increase residential property taxes by 13.6 per cent, Jakeway advocated for a public tax revolt.

Standing on the deck of a landing craft in Menzies Bay, during an oil spill clean-up training session, Troy
Donovan glances over at Seymour Narrows.Described by Captain George Vancouver
as “one of the vilest stretches of water in the world,” tides reach up to 15 knots and
funnel through the Narrows creating huge whirlpools and several other hazards.
“You can just imagine how difficult it would be to clean up oil off the beaches in Seymour Narrows,” says Donovan who works for Sea Romer Marine Services.
It’s not hard to imagine the devastation an oil spill could wreak on the whales, seal lions, seals, dolphins, sea birds and other wildlife that feed in the Narrows.
On the night of May 11, a cruise ship heading through Seymour Narrows ran across a long towline of aluminum con-tainers used for fish farms. Several of the containers were damaged, but the accident could have potentially sunk the small tug-boat resulting in leaks of oil, diesel fuel and environmentally-hazardous materials.
Fortunately disaster was averted, but

there’s always the potential for an oil spill and that’s why the marine and log-ging-oriented contrac-tors are here.
They spent Tuesday in the classroom and Wednesday is hands-on day on the water. There are 22 contrac-tors here for training provided by the West-ern Canada Marine Response Corporation.
The corporation’s mandate is to ensure its members are pre-pared for hazardous spills on the water and to mitigate the impacts.
This includes the protection of wildlife, economic and envi-ronmental sensitivi-ties, and the safety of both the responders and the public.
“We have equipment caches up and down the coast, including here in Campbell River,” says Chris O’Malley, the corpo-ration’s operations supervisor for Van-couver Island.
But the specialized equipment is use-less if you don’t have locally-trained people who know how to use the booming gear, sea slugs, skimmers and other gear essential for clean-ups.
Even still, the response time for a clean-up after an emergency in the Campbell River area is approximately 18 hours. In that time, the tides change and will carry oil into sen-sitive bays and onto beaches.
That’s why the train-ing includes placing diversion booms in front of an environ-mentally-sensitive lagoon that borders the Ripple Rock Trail.
A little further south, another crew practices flushing the beach of oil using pressured sea water. It’s easier, explains one trainee, to collect oil off the water than from a rocky or sandy beach.
On board the 120-foot Inlet Explorer landing craft, O’Malley directs the third crew on how to enclose a spill using floating booms and how to use a disc skimmer that collects floating oil in a sea slug bladder.
“If it’s collecting too much water, that’s not good,” he tells the crew. “You have to adjust it so it’s just
skimming oil – all of it needs to be properly treated and if you’re collecting water, well, it gets expensive.”
The Western Canada Marine Response Cor-poration is run by five major shareholders and receives funding through a bulk oil handling fee imposed on companies trans-porting oil through Canadian waters. It also has subscribers and charges fees for spill clean-ups.
The organization was involved in clean-ups following the
sinking of BC Ferries Queen of the North and the overturned barge which dumped logging equipment into the depths sur-rounding the Robson Bight Ecological Reserve.
Training sessions on the Island also take place in Port Hardy, Nanaimo, Victoria and Port Alberni.
“We’re here at Menzies Bay because of the fast-moving waters around here,” says O’Malley. “Train-ing also gives us the opportunity to better
familiarize ourselves with the coast.”
Accidents will occur and being ready is the key to minimiz-ing damage as well as keeping clean-up costs down. It’s a situ-ation Mike Murphy is a well-aware of as he works on the Inlet Transporter which carries fuel to logging camps, resorts and remote homes.
“This is all relevant to us because that’s what we do, carry fuel,” he says.

He maintains the tax increase could have been avoided had council chose to cut city staff.
Jakeway says he spoke to Mayor Dan
Ashton of Penticton, a community similar in size to Campbell River, about staffing levels while at the inaugural B.C. Mayors’ Caucus last week.
“Penticton in the last
two years has shed 31 people,” Jakeway said. “Penticton started at the top and worked their way down.
“Campbell River must do the same. It’s currently bogged down by the same old hab-its.”
Jakeway said things will never change at city hall if the same senior city managers remain at the helm.
“The 2012 Campbell River city budget pro-cess was a manipula-tive game, but that was to be expected,” Jakeway said. “The theme was to preserve the bureaucracy at all costs and to spend, spend, spend.
“Change does not come easy. With my business training I really did not expect a zero per cent tax increase but I know it was achievable.
“We can’t do it with these same people (at city hall).”
During budget delib-erations, some council-lors championed trust-ing city staff to build a budget, but Jakeway questioned that tactic.
He said staff played “a game of divide and conquer and council fell for it”, referring to council’s 4-3 split in a vote which led to adop-tion of the budget.
Jakeway also accused
city staff of biased public relations.
“The senior staff don’t get it, they really don’t,” he said. “They don’t have the skill set, they cling to their pol-icy documents.”
Jakeway acknowl-edged his words might rub some people the wrong way, but he kept going.
“I’m fully aware people on council and senior staff will not be happy with my com-ments,” he said. “But have you ever been to city hall? How did you feel when you visited? The atmosphere is toxic, there has to be a change and it won’t necessarily be pretty. Things have to change
come hell or high water.”
Jakeway then pro-ceeded to list several expensive city projects that have had their share of controversy.
He noted the three-year anniversary of the Dogwood Street lights is quickly approach-ing and motorists still complain about the three-cycle system.
“How about the toi-lets from hell by the Art Gallery ... $90,000 for two toilets, an outdoor lacrosse for (more than $300,000); a $13.5 million Highway 19A upgrade and the lanes are too narrow and Spirit Square at roughly $1.7 million,” Jakeway said. “I deal in facts, not emotions. I’m not unhappy or angry ... I know the system malfunctions.”
Jakeway said his dream would be to have a “nimble” team to lead the city and boldly pro-mote Campbell River to the world.
He would also like to change how taxpay-ers pay their property taxes to allow them to pay in monthly instal-ments.
The mayor also plans to improve the Camp-bellton area and tackle homelessness.
Jakeway said if Campbell Riverites work together the city can improve and the economy will rebound.
“My theme is ‘Camp-bell River – Oceans of Opportunity.’ That’s on my business card.”

How do I donate my body to science?
Donating one’s body for anatomical study and/or research is an incredibly sel ess act. It is also a very important decision that should be carefully thought out, and whenever possible, discussed with your family ahead of time.Unfortunately it isn’t uncommon to have a family come to a funeral home and ask to make donation arrangements after the death has occurred. In almost every case this is no longer a possibility. There are certain criteria that must be met both before, and after death in order for a donor to be accepted.First of all, forget every movie or TV program you have ever watched and harken back to every mundane biology class you ever sat through on a sunny Friday afternoon. Let’s face it; becoming the cell grouping on a slide doesn’t outwardly appear wildly exciting. However, it is a noble gesture and anyone who donates their body to science can expect digni ed treatment of their body by the receiving institution. (In our province that tends to be the Department of Cellular and Physiological Sciences at the University of British Columbia) It is understood that your body will be used as an invaluable research tool until all useful applications have been exhausted. At such time your body will be cremated at the University’s expense and returned to your legally authorized representative. There is no cost for this type of disposition; however, all arrangements for your donation must be made in advance of your death. Those under 30 years of age cannot donate their bodies to science, and even if you are of legal age, there is no guarantee what the location, or physical condition of your body will be after death. Even if you have arrangements in place with the University of British Columbia and have previously been accepted as a potential candidate, certain diseases can develop at a later time that may render your body inadmissible as a donor. Also, if the nature of your death has resulted in a much needed lifesaving organ transplant for a living donor recipient, your body will no longer be a suitable candidate for medical study. (Although saving a life is usually the objective for those who opt for donation of their bodies, so you can consider your ultimate goal was achieved!) It is for this reason, among others, that alternate arrangements to body donation need to always be considered. Like all good stories, the nal chapter of your life can change…for more information, or to carry on the conversation, log on to www.GoCampbellRiver.com and see our blog.

Local governments are treated like “chil-dren” by the province, says Mayor Walter Jakeway.
That sentiment was more or less shared by several B.C. munici-palities at a mayors’ meeting last week.
Mayors from across B.C. met for the first time last week to dis-cuss their communi-ties’ struggles to pro-vide services imposed on them by senior lev-els of government.
A total of 86 may-ors want to meet with Premier Christy Clark and the provincial cab-inet to discuss more efficient use of exist-ing resources to bet-ter address challenges facing residents, such as homelessness and public health.
Mayor Walter Jake-way said the inaugural Mayors’ Caucus, held May 16-18 in Penticton, was an opportunity to get to know his coun-terparts across B.C. and discuss the finan-cial pressures commu-nities are under.
“It was wonderful. I personally gave a busi-ness card to everyone,”
Jakeway said. “The purpose (of the cau-cus) is that mayors play a special role in local government and local government doesn’t get the recognition it deserves from senior governments.”
Jakeway said over the years, the provin-cial and federal govern-ments have downloaded an increasing number of services onto local governments, without supplying the money needed to deliver those services.
“The federal gov-ernment doesn’t even recognize local gov-ernments,” Jakeway said. “They give every-thing to the provinces to hand down to the municipalities.
“Local governments have been saddled with the costs,” Jake-way said. “Certainly the provincial gov-ernment doesn’t treat municipalities fairly. They treat them more as children than as equals. Right now they’re kind of decree-ing from above.”
Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts, who was instru-mental in starting up the caucus, said B.C. communities need a new deal with senior
governments.“The current model
is broken and as may-ors we need to meet to discuss a collaborative approach to revers-ing the unsustainable trend that most munic-ipalities are facing,” Watts said in a news release. “Municipali-ties provide the vast majority of the service in areas such as infra-structure while being given only eight cents out of every tax dollar to do it.”
The timing of the caucus, which includes a steering committee of nine mayors, is sig-nificant.
“With a provincial election coming up (in May 2013), it’s a great time to extract more responsibility from them (provincial gov-ernment),” Jakeway said.
The mayors’ caucus wants to create a round table with the premier to discuss public pol-icy changes that affect municipal budgets and delivery of services as well as a round table to discuss aging infra-structure with partici-pation from all three levels of government.
Mayors are also call-ing for money to fund
the services that are downloaded onto local governments.The may-ors also identified the following as areas that need to be addressed:
■ Changing the fed-eral and provincial grant process to be more sustainable, accountable, quantifi-able and allowing for long-term planning by local governments.
■ Allow the Munici-pal Auditor General to examine the financial
impacts of download-ing on local govern-ments.
■ Affirm the core ser-vice delivery of each order of government.
■ Re-design the cost sharing formula for significant infrastruc-ture projects to reflect the tax revenue distri-bution.
■ Develop a co-ordi-nationed approach to how social services are delivered into a com-munity

The Better ThanAverage Driver
Have you ever met anyone who would
admit to being less than a better than average
driver? The next time you are having a casual
conversation in a group ask this question.
Changes are good that the majority of the
people there will rate themselves as better
than average, something that cannot be as half
of us have to be less than average drivers.
Why does this overconfi dence occur?
It’s something known as the optimism bias
or comparative optimism. Both neuroscience
and social science suggest that we are more
optimistic than realistic. From the point
of view of a driver, this may mean that it is
unlikely that we will cause or be involved in a
collision, that we can drink and drive safely or
that we won’t get caught by police if we fail to
follow the rules.
The optimism bias can be positively
infl uenced by training in situations where the
driver perceives that risks can be controlled
by their driving skills. In contrast, training
has no infl uence over situations where the
driver believes that circumstances are not in
their control such as weather conditions or a
sudden fl at tire. Maybe this explains why I see
four wheel drive vehicles pass by me at speed
when traction is poor!
Where does this all fi t in with Canada’s
Road Safety Week, May 14 to 21, 2012?
It’s the perfect time to pay attention to what
all the advertising is telling you about what
happens when you make mistakes in high
control situations. Maybe it will be a positive
infl uence.

Many cats are fearful
of car rides and veterinary

harder for us to give them
good medical care. It also
makes it difficult for cat
owners to decide to take
their nervous cats to the
veterinarian for routine
care and may delay an
examination for an illness.
Cats can be trained to
be much more comfortable

A new space for the Cortes library could be a long time com-ing after talks between the Vancouver Island Regional Library and a Cortes Island commu-nity group fell through this week.
The regional library has been looking to rent a space for the library and had been in nego-tiations with the South-ern Cortes Community Association since 2010 to find a new temporary
location.However, the asso-
ciation’s most recent proposal falls outside the scope of Vancou-ver Island Regional Library’s (VIRL) calls for a lease opportunity.
“Vancouver Island Regional Library has been unsuccessful over the past eigh-teen months with the Expression of Inter-est process for a new library on Cortes,” said a press release issued by the regional library on Tuesday. “Vancou-ver Island Regional
Library staff has not been authorized by the VIRL Board to negoti-ate outside the scope of the original Expression of Interest. Regretfully, negotiations with the Southern Cortes Com-munity Association have therefore ceased.”
Rosemary Bonanno, executive director of the Vancouver Island Regional Library, said a new request for propos-als process will be rec-ommended to the board at its meeting June 9 in Nanaimo.
The library on Cor-
tes is housed in a mez-zanine, with a daycare below. In 2010, the library board deter-mined the floor does not meet the required load of 150 pounds per square foot. In 2011, the library’s collection of books was reduced to deal with the weight – a short-term fix. Since then, the re gional library has been work-ing with the Southern Cortes Community Association to find a new space. The search became more urgent earlier this month after
the regional library shut down the Cortes branch May 4 due to concerns the mezza-nine floor could col-lapse under the weight of the library books.
Noba Anderson, the Strathcona Regional District director repre-senting Cortes Island, said the Southern Cor-tes Community Asso-ciation has put in hun-dreds of hours of work negotiating with the regional library.
“They’ve looked at building designs and financial options and
were working towards building their own building which they would then own and lease to VIRL,” Ander-son said. “However, the financial requirements are too onerous for the Southern Cortes Com-munity Association to take on.”
Anderson said Van-couver Island Regional Library could at any time give two months notice to opt out of the lease.
“You’ re going to have a hard time get-ting financing if your
tenant can opt out of the agreement at any time with two months notice,” Anderson said. “Ultimately it looks like it’s not going to lead to the community association building a new building but they could lease land to VIRL.”
The hitch is there is no building avail-able on Cortes to per-manently house the library. Either way Van-couver Island Regional Library would need a new building, Ander-son said.

The provincial government has done a good thing in scaling back BC Hydro rate increases. The way it is doing so raises more questions than answers.
On Tuesday, Energy Minister Rich Coleman announced that the government was cancelling a B.C. Utilities Commission hearing into Hydro rate increases, which have already been scaled back from the 50 per cent premium increases which were initially proposed about two
years ago, under former premier Gordon Campbell.At that time, the rate increases were suggested to
allow for introduction of the smart meter program,
purchase of private power under long-term contracts and major capital expenses, including turbine installation at several dams and other upgrades.
When Coleman was named energy minister under new Premier Christy Clark, she asked that he review Hydro’s plans. The review said that the smart meter program should stay, and that other projects should proceed, but also said that rates didn’t need to go up as steeply.
Hydro then asked for an eight per cent increase in 2012, 3.91 per cent in 2013 and 3.91 per cent in 2014. Planned increases had been 9.73 per cent each year.
On Tuesday, Coleman said Hydro received an eight per cent increase in 2011 and a 3.91 per cent increase
in 2012, along with a rate rider of five per cent. The government is now saying it wants a 1.44 per cent increase in 2013, making the rate increase 17 per cent over three years. There was no word of what is planned in 2014 or beyond.
It all raises these questions. Why is there a B.C. Utilities Commission, if the government can simply override its mandate and role?
Perhaps the biggest question is this: Is this all politics, in preparation for the 2013 provincial election? Is the 2013 rate increase being kept artificially low on the expectation that the NDP will win government, as polls suggest?

Logger Mike spices up Sointula’s baseball weekend
We say: Is this all just politics in the name of heading off the NDP?
To BC Salmon Farmers Association:A few weeks ago I saw you respond negatively to a
letter asking for independent testing of your farmedsalmon. Now two of your farms have tested positivefor the highly contagious IHN virus, resulting in theordered killing of your stocks. Without any proof youplace the blame of your outbreaks entirely on wildfish, while deceptively proclaiming IHN won’t harmwild salmon. Those studies you quote were done onadult salmon, yet you don’t mention numerous stud-ies showing IHN to be deadly to juvenile wild salmon,you know, the innocent ones now swimming past yourfilthy infected farms. While worlds leading labs areconfirming a myriad of “European strain” diseasesfrom store bought BC farmed salmon, you not onlydeny those findings as well, but arrogantly still refuseindependent testing. This has many of us questioningyour ethics or lack thereof. Since your main argumentwith independent lab results is about “foul play” or“contamination” why don’t you accompany your fishto the lab, just to make sure there’s no hanky pankygoing on? If your fish are as squeaky clean as youclaim then there should be no problem. The public andwild salmon deserve to know.

“Paul’s Balls! Now what kind of team name is that?”
I was in Sointula for the annual May long weekend baseball tournament and this was a voice I hadn’t expected – or wanted – to hear, especially so far away from Campbell River.
But there he was, Big Logger Mike, striding into our dugout. He was still dressed all in yellow and his cork boots kind of passed for cleats, but instead of his trusty axe, he carried a bat jauntily on his shoulder.
The world’s biggest yellow baseball bat, I should add, but not quite as huge as the hockey stick in Duncan.
His appearance on Malcolm Island caught me by surprise as well as the rest of the team who gawked in won-der until he got rolling again.
“Come on Mr. Manager, speak up,
why the heck would you pick such a stupid name?” he asked, shaking his head in wonder. “You know, there are little kids who are going to hear this name and then ask why...”
I couldn’t stand the ribbing much longer, “I didn’t pick the name! I was saddled with it!” I hollered.
Big Mike laughed at me and the rest of the guys chuckled too. They knew that at least one of the all-pickup squads have funny names chosen by the Finn fishermen who are slightly better pranksters than they are ball players.
I sighed, smiled and then muttered to Ross, the funny guy who named the team, “Next year we’re resurrect-ing the Clam Guns,” a previous team name that resulted in more shellfish jokes than I ever thought possible.
But, whatever, you just go with the flow in Sointula. We’re all here for the fun, the barbecued skewers of shrimp, oysters on the half-shell with hot sauce, and a few icy wobbly pops.
Oh yeah, we’re also here to play ball...real baseball with wood bats, 90-foot-long base paths and overhand chuckers whose command of the strike zone is somewhat spotty.
“Come on coach, where are you put-ting me in the line-up? It better be clean-up,” Big Mike ordered.
How could I say no to an eight-foot man wagging a huge bat under my nose?
So I batted Big Mike fourth and hoped he had at least once in life played ball. The first two batters went out, the third walked and then
Big Mike stepped up to the plate.The anticipation of the crowd was
broken as I called for, “Time!”The ump complied as I walked out
to the opposing pitcher and whis-pered, “Bean him with the first pitch and I’ll buy you a beer afterwards.”
He smiled and plunked Logger Mike right in the backside. The ol’ logger winced just once and then smacked the next pitch clear over the centre field fence. It kept rising over the straight until it hit a black cloud which immediately burst and poured rain on Port McNeill.
On sunny Sointula, Big Mike rounded the base paths, high-fived the rest of the team and ran straight to the beer garden.
“My work is done here,” he pro-nounced. “Now get me a Lucky.”

Poisoning is the 4th leading cause of injury death and permanent total disability for Canadians of all ages. But children are most at risk, with an esti-mated half of all poi-son exposures occur-ring among children younger than five.
That’s why the theme for this year’s Safe Kids Week Canada (May 28 – June 3) is “Out of Sight and Locked up Tight.”
Did you know that medication is the lead-ing cause of poisoning in children? Small amounts of adult med-ication can be fatal to a child. You can dispose
of your medications safely by returning them free-of-charge to any pharmacy.
Other causes of poi-sonings are household cleaners and personal care products that were not safely stored or were taken out of their original contain-ers. Check with your local recycling facility to find out where you
can safely dispose of hazardous household waste.
“ B y r e m ov i n g expired and unneeded medications and haz-ardous product you will be making your home safer for every-one. However, dumping the product into the toi-let or the garbage is not good for the environ-ment we share and the
ensuing contamination may eventually be bad for everyone’s health,” says Dr. Richard Stan-wick, VIHA’s Chief Medical Health Officer “We hope that by high-lighting this issue, the public will become aware of where and how to safely dispose of hazardous waste.”
Safe Kids Canada’s mission is to lead
and inspire a culture of safety across the county in order to reduce unintentional injuries, the leading cause of death among children and youth in Canada. For more information:

They say when one door closes, another
one opens. Such was the case for two gro-cery stores eight years ago.
When IGA shut its doors at Merecroft Village, Quality Foods saw an opportunity.
“I think the com-pany was looking for an opportunity for growth, and an oppor-tunity presented itself with IGA closing,” said Cyriel DeBruyne, who has managed the Campbell River Quality Foods since it opened in October 2004.
That made Campbell River the company’s ninth location. Since then, the store has thrived and played a prominent role in the community.
When the store opened there were around 41 employees – today that number has
reached 55. And all the employees are local.
“The company has a rule that you’re expected to pay taxes in the community you work in,” said DeBruyne, who re-located to Campbell River from Courtenay. “It keeps you involved in the community.”
DeBruyne, whose resume includes assis-
tant store manager in Courtenay and prior to that, 13 years at Overwaitea, is extremely community-minded.
For the last four years he has volun-teered to be locked up in the Crime Stoppers’ Jail and Bail fundraiser. This year, he raised $1,520 through donations
from store employees and friends. In 2008, DeBruyne raised money for the SPCA through weight loss. He collected pledges for each pound he lost and at the end of the day raised $16,000 and lost 54 pounds through his own, exercise pro-gram.
Quality Foods spon-sors the Canada Day
fireworks every year. The first year the
store donated $25,000 for the show.
Since then, Quality Foods has partnered with the city and the Canada Day commit-tee to fund the annual light display.
“Out of all of our Quality Foods’, this is the largest (fireworks shows),” DeBruyne said. “At the time when we came in to town, there was an opportunity for us to keep the show going.”
But the Canada Day support doesn’t end there.
“We play a huge part in Canada Day because I think that’s where the heart and soul of the commu-nity is,” DeBruyne said. “The community investment is huge.”
On July 1 Quality Foods sponsors the firefighters’ pancake breakfast, provides lunch for the carv-ers at the driftwood carving competition
in Wilow Point, and this year will sponsor KidsFest.
The store has also sponsored the Sal-vation Army golf tournament for the past four years; is a sponsor for Cameryn’s Cause, which helps local families with sick children; and also sponsors the Campbell River Hospital Foun-dation.
“We probably get 40 donation requests per month minimum,” DeBruyne said. “We try to say yes to every-body with a decent amount.
“If it’s a local hockey team with a chance to go play in a tournament in Vancouver, we’ll help them out.”
Quality Foods also wants to give back to its customers. Now until Father’s Day (June 17), Qual-ity Foods is hosting What’s in the Fridge?
A computer will randomly select a cus-
tomer as they come through to pay for groceries.
That lucky shopper will receive a Quality Foods gift card for the amount of their gro-ceries.
They also are given an envelope with an unknown prize inside. The shopper can choose to either keep the envelope and what’s inside or risk it for the unknown prize.
On Father’s Day, the $3,000 fridge will be given away.
But perhaps the best thing about Quality Foods is the way the company treats its employees, DeBruyne said.
“The biggest thing we do different is all employees, after 18 months, are eligible for benefits. It doesn’t matter if you’re a 20-hour part-time guy or a 36-hour guy,” he said. “And the fact it’s a young company, there’s lots of oppor-tunity in the store.”
QUALITY FOODS CELEBRATES 30TH ANNIVERSARY
Owners of the Qual-ity Food chain of gro-cery stores — Ken Schley, John Briuolo and Noel Hayward — have come a very long way since 1982.
Thirty years ago, the trio revitalized a fail-ing grocery business in Qualicum Beach and began innovating in ways the industry had not yet imagined. In fact, for these three decades, the trio and their dedicated employ-ees have led the way among grocery stores throughout Canada.
Their willingness to embrace technology when others would not, and their dedica-tion to staff — making Quality Foods a top employer in B.C. — has helped create a chain of Vancouver Island-based grocery stores second to none.
The young trio re-opened a grocery store in Qualicum Beach on May 27, 1982, renaming it Qualicum Foods. The early ‘80s were tough, economically, but they had the support of suppliers, wholesalers
and the community. Customer service was
a major focus for them, as they had to build a
base of support before they could even think of being able to add — or even afford – frills.
By 1986, Qualicum Fo o d s w a s d o i n g well and looking for other opportunities to improve. When Bruce Robertson’s FoodMas-ter store in Parksville became available (they knew each other quite well, as independent stores) for a partner-ship that year, they jumped at it. After merging, they had to come up with a new name. Luckily, the
partners had had the forethought to register the name QF, and from there it was a simple matter of coming up with Quality Foods – the name that has become synonymous with the stores outside of Qualicum Beach.
Into the early and mid-1990s, a vacant Nanaimo IGS grocery store became available to the partners. Adding this new store led rela-tively quickly to the acquiring of two more stores in Nanaimo, along with locations in
Nanoose Bay, Courte-nay, Comox, Campbell River, Port Alberni and Powell River. In all, QF has 11 stores, a headquarters and warehouse operation in Errington, and a company that employs around 800 people.
Throughout their 30-year history, the p a r t n e r s r e m a i ninvolved in the com-munity.
They pump sponsor-ship dollars into local sports teams, com-munity groups and events.
Opportunity knocked in Campbell River eight years ago
Quality Foods celebrates thirty years of excellence
Then and now: Qualify Foods co-owners Noel Hay-ward, John Briuolo and Ken Schley celebrate their 30th anniversary in business this year.
Campbell River Quality Foods manager Cyriel DeBruyne has seen the store take a leadership role in community support and customer service with sponsorships and promotions like the What’s in the Fridge contest currently running.

Fishing gear, boats targetted
In the last week there have been multiple reports of boats being broken into at various locations throughout the area, most notably the Fresh Water Marina and Government Wharf.
Items stolen range from rods and reels, downriggers, to fishing tackle.
Owners are reminded to keep valuable fishing gear out of sight, locked up or removed from the boat once the day of fishing is done.
Drunk driver shears off power pole
A local man is likely facing several charges after being involved in an
accident and then found drunk.
The incident occurred Sunday, around 2 a.m., when RCMP were advised of a “large flash of light” and then a power outage in the Homewood Road area.
When officers arrived they found a power pole had been sheared off by a pickup truck.
That’s when a nearby resident called police to inform them that a man was grossly intoxicated and lying on porch.
The impaired man turned out to be the registered owner of the pickup truck and, when approached by officers, he was unco-operative and became violent.
The man was arrested and also found in possession of a controlled
substance.The man’s name was
not released and charges are pending.
Missing kids report proves false
Police received a report of two girls, ages two and five, who went missing from a local daycare on May 15.
Mounties were told the two children had somehow walked away.
As a result, more than 10 police officers went looking for the girls along with volunteers from Campbell River Search and Rescue.
However, all’s well that ends well. It was soon discovered that that the mother of the two girls had not dropped off the kids at the daycare.
Both children were safe and sound with their mother at Walmart.
Quiet long weekendThe May long weekend
proved to be a relatively uneventful for police.
That may have been due to the rain as many campers cut their weekend short when the weather turned.
Extra officers were on duty throughout the weekend. There were enhanced patrols as well as check-stops. Conservation Officers also made patrols at local lakes and campgrounds.
Over the past week, RCMP responded to 304 calls. On Saturday, police dealt with two impaired drivers and issued a 24-hour prohibition.

PAUL RUDANCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Groveling didn’t help Kinsmen President Al Buxton when he appeared before Judge Gord “Hang ‘em High and Often” Hay.
“Come on, I’ll pay a $250 fine,” Buxton pleaded, while wearing a convict-like striped shirt.
But Judge Hay, who typically serves as an sergeant with Campbell River RCMP, appeared judicially indifferent as he reviewed Buxton’s record in the Crime Stoppers annual Jail and Bail fundraiser.
“H’mm, looks like you paid a $250 fine the last time you were here,” said Hay, as Buxton’s face fell. “It doesn’t look like you learned your lesson.”
Despite a lack of proper legal repre-sentation – although defence lawyer James Hormoth was seated nearby in shorts and a summer shirt – Bux-ton continued to plead his case as he handed over a letter of expla-nation:
The bearer of this let-
ter comes before you in shame as the treasurer of the Campbell River Kinsmen has aban-doned him and refuses to pay the fine.
Being that I have no friends and no means to raise capital for the offence, I throw myself upon the mercy of the court and ask for leni-ency (insert sad kitty or puppy dog eyes here).
“I’m well prepared to plead my case if it
helps and if gets our club treasurer thrown in jail as well...
Yours humbly,Allan Buxton,President, Campbell River Kins-
men.But Hangin’ Judge
Hay wasn’t impressed.“You’re fined $350,”
Hay ruled with a bang of his gavel.
Quietly – which is highly unusual for the Kinsmen prez – Bux-
ton was led away to the makeshift plastic pipe jail cell set up at Spirit Square for the May 17 Jail and Bail.
In the end, he came through with his bail as did many others who helped raise more than $10,000. The money will be used by Crime Stop-pers for its programs and to pay for anony-mous tips that lead to arrests.
“Thanks to all the
‘ d e t a i n e e s, ’ t h e i r donors and the vol-unteers who helped make this event hap-pen,” said director Iain McClymont. “Campbell River Crime Stoppers now has its funding in place for the year and can now concentrate on the job of putting the real criminals behind bars.”
All things consid-ered, Buxton got off easy compared to local Crime Stoppers Presi-
dent Judy Shepley. She too was arrested, but her bail was much, much more.
However, she man-aged to come up with $1,000, thanks to her co-workers and Van-couver Island Insur-ance Centres.
The most lucrative detainee was Cyriel DeBruyne, manager of the local Quality Foods store, who raised more than $1,500.
Coming in at $500
or more were Jason Hartley, the city’s capital works man-ager, Amanda Raleigh from Seymour Pacific Developments Ltd., and Rod MacLean form Tyee Chevrolet, Buick, GMC.
As for Buxton, while he rotted in jail, fellow Kinsmen cooked up burgers and foot-long hot dogs which they sold, raising approxi-mately $800 for Crime Stoppers.
No mercy from the Hangin’ Judge at Jail and Bail

The Friends of Strath-cona Park (FOSP) have filed a petition in the Supreme Court of British Columbia to “challenge the abil-ity and authority of the government of BC to ignore the public’s interest in preserving and protecting natu-ral resources in favour of supporting private
business interests.”While the specific
case revolves around the granting of a park use permit to an exclu-sive private resort, allowing horse tours into a wilderness val-ley within Strathcona Park, it also raises the broader issue of the violation of public trust by government
on a broad range of other issues, a FOSP statement says.
“Whether the local issue is the creeping privatization of B.C.’s parks, the sale of BC Rail, the diminish-ment of health care services, the abdica-tion of environmental assessments, the pres-sure to construct oil
pipelines without con-sultation, or unprece-dented permission for new mining projects, almost every British Columbian can relate directly to a feeling of loss of control over their ‘commons,’” says Kel Kelly, a spokesper-son for FOSP. “We have entered a new era, where the partnership
between governments and private interests is so strong that it is rapidly eroding places, natural wonders and ideas that hold a pow-erful place in the hearts of most British Columbians.”
The FOSP have gar-nered support from the Environmental Dis-pute Resolution Fund,
an initiative of West Coast Environmen-tal Law. FOSP will be arguing that there are limits to ministerial discretion in grant-ing a permit including that the permit cannot violate the public trust and that the minister must consider envi-ronmental impacts in granting a permit.

Principal’s MessageThis month we are focusing our thoughts on the 2011-2012 school year end and Graduation. You can be sure that the remainder of the year will be very busy, with many year-end activities. June exams are just around the corner (June 19 - 26th) and our grade twelve’s are becoming a larger focus as we head towards graduation night on June 27th.I would like to take this opportunity to thank those of you who have helped to make this a great year for our students. Our PAC parents are to be commended for their hard work throughout the year. Our PAC executive members Teresa Foy, Yolanda Addison and Karyn Rasmussen provided great service to Timberline by managing our gaming funds, and by being involved with matters relating to school policy and decision making. All of our PAC parents input has been much appreciated. Grad Parents, you have done an outstanding job of organizing an after grad party for the “Class of 2012”. Students have a magnificent evening of fun and friendship to look forward to, following the Commencement Ceremony. Thank you for the countless hours of planning and fundraising you have done for this special event.To our Timberline staff, as always you make each year a memorable learning experience for all of our students. It is with mixed emotions that we bid farewell to Joan Lihou, Patrick Lihou and Dan Stevenson as they transition into their new role as retirees this July.Finally, I would like to thank the community for supporting Timberline in so many ways; the Service Clubs, our local businesses, community coaches and countless others who are critical to the success of Timberline.Thanks again, we couldn’t do it without all of you and your support.– Kevin Harrison

Aboriginal Cultural Awareness WeekThis year we were able to host an Aboriginal Cultural Awareness week that led into our Stewardship Day. During the week we were fortunate to have many Aboriginal guest presenters share their knowledge with our students.
Stewardship DayTimberline hosted its second annual Stewardship day. The morning was spent with the students engaged in a variety of workshops that were presented by our com-munity partners. In the afternoon all students gave back to the community by doing good works throughout Campbell River. Retirement wishes…
In the coming weeks we will honour three staff members who have decided to retire: Dan Stevenson, Patrick Lihou and Joan Lihou. We celebrate your retirement!

Power of the PACOur educational community would like to acknowledge the tremendous support of the PAC (Parents’ Advisory Council) provides to every aspect of our school.

KRISTEN DOUGLASCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
A Campbell River man who was once homeless, has turned his ‘pay it forward’ deeds into a small busi-ness.
Rory Clark first told his story to the Mirror last year. Last month, the Mirror caught up with Clark to see how he has been coping.
The former logger suffered a back injury while on the job about seven years ago. He wound up addicted to painkillers and found himself homeless and hungry.
The Salvation Army soup kitchen looked after Clark until he was able to get back on his feet.
Last year, Clark decided to plant flow-ers and spruce up the
surrounding Cedar Street area as a way of returning the commu-
nity’s generosity.After the update story
on Clark’s landscaping ran in the Mirror April 27, he has been inun-dated with calls from people who read the story and want to hire him.
“I’ve gotten a lot of feedback, everybody is really impressed,” Clark said. “I’m a celebrity now. I get calls from people I don’t even know.”
The yard work is ther-apeutic for Clark and keeps him off drugs. It also gives him a sense of pride to make people happy.
“Every day I try to do something nice to somebody, as long as I can get a smile on someone’s face,” Clark said.
The work is so plenti-ful that Clark has now started his own busi-ness, Rory’s Uptown Garden Services. Clark will prune shrubs, plant flowers, cut the lawn, weed, make rock gardens, as well as wash cars, houses and motor homes.
He charges $15 per hour for his work.
“T here’s lots of demand,” said Clark, who has not deserted his roots.
Although he’s getting outside work now, Clark still tries to get down to Cedar Street every day, where he’s made a name for himself.
“Everybody walks by and says it looks really good and clean around here now,” Clark said.
“But the work never ends.”
To book an appoint-ment with Clark call (250) 202-7115 or (250) 287-8464.

Smile MonthOFTHE
Dr. Chris H. Dennis, Inc.Dental implants are now the standard of practice to replace missing teeth as we no longer have to reduce the teeth on either side of a missing tooth. It is still required in order to fabricate a bridge. A dental implant permanently and predictably restores esthetics and function without jeopardizing the rest of your dentition. In 2012, Dr. Dennis will be attending Dr. Carl Misch’s International Implant Institute’s Program in Toronto to become a Fellow in the Misch International Implant Institute and a Fellow in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists. Let Dr. Dennis help you with all your dental implant needs.

Artists are opening their workplaces to curious minds next month.
The tenth annual Quadra Island Studio Tour takes place June 2 from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and June 3 from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Artists will open their studios for this p o p u l a r we e ke n d event which features a wide range of artistic styles and mediums that include paint-ing, sculpture, pot-tery, glass, jewelry, printmaking, wood-work, fibre, instru-ment making, bicycle making and even a winery. There are lots of chances to win art prizes too.
This year a record 40
artists will show their work at 26 studios plus the Quadra Commu-nity Centre, where a group “sampler” exhi-bition will provide an overview of the stu-dios on the tour. While at the Community Cen-tre enjoy a quick lunch or snack at the Kosmic Kafeteria, which will be featuring local sea-food and desserts.
Each year the tour takes visitors to out-of-the-way corners of the island and lets them discover the artistic domains of its artists as well as their latest creations. The artists will be on hand to talk about their work and many will be demon-strating their tech-niques.
Some new faces this year are Kath-ryn Manry, who does exquisite renderings of water and birds, Maureen Maryka, whose impressionistic landscapes are full of colour, Tracy Tomlin-son who makes beau-tiful, functional gui-tars from cigar boxes and Marni McMahan who creates gorgeous, richly-coloured quilts.
Island Joy Rides will again be offering The Art of Joy. Tour the
studios by bike with knowledgeable guides and enjoy a great pic-nic lunch along the way. Bikes and hel-mets are available if
required. Tickets for the Studio
Tour are $5 each (kids 12 and under free) and are available at the Campbell River Art
Gallery, Comox Valley Art Gallery, Impres-sions Custom Fram-ing, Hummingbird Office and Art Supply, Quadra Island Tour-
ist Info Centre and atQuadra resorts.

The long weekend games on May 19 provided a good venue for the Ravens to show their abilities in a double header against Victoria Esquimalt Eagles.
The first game of the day was shortly after noon. The Victoria team was quick to open with a goal in the first minute of the game. By the end of the first five minutes the other team was up by two. The Ravens saw their game start to open up shortly after and the team was getting in the grove of pass-ing the ball well and getting back on defence quickly. They started to close the gap with two first period goals by Lucas Marriot Spencer. First period ended 3-2 for the oppos-ing team.
Second period saw the Ravens tie the game with the only goal in that period scored by Colton Edwards who received a great pass from Ste-ven Dykhusen. It would seem that the Ravens were gaining steam as the first goal in the third period put them ahead for the first time in the game. Nathan Hoff ’s first goal of the season was the product of much perseverance as the team started to put more shots on the Vic-Esquimalt Net.
Half was through the third, Vic-toria scored. This left the Ravens looking to position themselves for a go ahead goal. But the Victoria team put one in the net with only 1:33 left in the game.
With such a short amount of time on the clock, the Raven coaches quickly pulled their netminder and try to gain the goal with the extra runner. A bad bounce past the defence and Victoria put their final goal of the game in an empty net.
Although disheartened by the loss, the Ravens were feeling pretty good. The Vic-Esquimalt team had very few losses this season to date.
The afternoon game saw some refreshed and energized Ravens take the floor. First goal of the after-noon game this time went to the Colton Edwards with an assist to Griffin Whyley. Ravens set the pace with that first goal and didn’t look back. The visiting team managed to respond to the first period goal and score was 1-1 by the end of the first period but Ravens were playing with their heads up.
Second period saw the Victoria team make their first attack on the Ravens’ net and moved them up by one twice in the second period. Ravens Griffin Whyley and Ryan Smith responded each time by scoring on the opposing net. Third period was all Ravens.
With the score 3-3 at the end of the second, the Ravens knew they had to pull ahead and after some words of wisdom from coaches Joe Why-ley and Doug Robinson the players went full steam ahead. Tod Wellman steamrolled a couple of visitors on the floor before dropping the go ahead go into the net half way through the last period.
Dayton Tatton added the reassur-ance, followed by Kyle Maximick. While the Ravens were already up by three goals they couldn’t help but cheer when teammate Griffin Whyley scored the seventh goal of the game with 0.9 seconds left on the clock.
Dylan Sparling, Nathan Hoff and Selena Lasota’s aggressive defence during this match helped out the goaltender Bailey Robinson to keep things in the offensive mode.
There was plenty to be glad about as the Ravens had given the Victo-ria Esquimalt Eagles their first loss of the season.

KRISTEN DOUGLAS/THE MIRROR
Kept your distanceA Campbell River Jr. B Ravens forward is driven to the floor but retains possession of the ball during
Sunday’s 13-4 loss to the Saanich Tigers.
The Windsor Plywood Ban-tam Ravens played Juan de Fuca (aka Westshore) 1 on Sunday at Rod Brind’Amour arena.
They enjoyed the benefits of a full bench of 17 runners for the game and kept their com-posure throughout.
The Ravens proved they’ve been listening to the coaches during practice as they engaged the Westshore attack-ers. While on the penalty kill, Nolan Fair was able to run precious seconds off of the clock. And in the spirit of the best defence being a good offence, he then took it up the floor for a shot on goal but the Juan de Fuca (JDF) goalie
made a tremendous save. JDF scored a couple of quick goals just before the end of the first period to take a 2-0 lead into the first intermission.
Many of these Ravens are still getting their bearings as they’re playing box lacrosse for the first time or after a long hiatus. Throughout the game they tried to do the sim-ple things like setting picks to support the ball-carrier and getting the ball up the floor efficiently. They worked on improving their line changes and recognizing when to go/not go for a change.
In the second period, David Lavigne took on four JDF play-ers on a rush but wasn’t quite
able to make the final passto an open Raven in front ofJDF’s net. Gavin Hope engagedhis check while keeping an eyeon the ball to try and pick offa pass. Kodie Borton sufferedan equipment failure and hadto leave the game in the secondperiod. JDF kept the pressureon the Ravens and scored threegoals to lead 5-0 at the end ofthe second.
Rookie goalie Will McLeandid his best to keep the Ravensin the game, making manygood saves. One of the mostspectacular came as JDF hadthree players in a mini-horse-shoe in the Ravens’ crease…allalone. The ball reached them

The CRYSA U-15 Bluebacks played the U-15 Prospect Lake Lakers on Saturday, May 12th for the Island Cup Championship.
It was glorious sunny morning in Nanaimo when the Bluebacks entered the turf to play the game. Coach Sandy White and Assistant coach Jeff Ostler had the boys pumped and ready to go right from the kick-of f. Most of the first half was played in the Bluebacks
offensive area and late in the first half, striker Dylan Sparling scored with a beautiful finish after stealing the soc-cer ball from a Lakers defenceman.
The half finished intensely and with suc-cess for the Bluebacks. The pressure from the Lakers increased dur-ing the second half and the Bluebacks fought hard to keep the win.
After 70 minutes of play a Bluebacks defender received a
penalty resulting in a penalty kick on goal-tender, Jesse Kennedy. It was one of the few shots Jesse had had all game and the shot was low and skimmed by Kennedy to tie the game.
The morale stayed high as the Bluebacks fans cheered and the boys played their best for the final 10 min-utes.
No goals were scored, bringing the team into five rounds of pen-
alty shots. Kennedy would have to show his skills...and he did.
Five attempts on the net for each team and the game was still tied.
Af ter two more rounds of penalty kicks, midfielder Day-ton Tatton smoked the net with a deadly shot that soared past the Lakers’ outstretched hands and into the net and gave the Bluebacks the Island Cup Cham-pionship.
cleanly. The three ami-gos looked at each other to decide who would be the shooter while the Ravens scrambled to get back on defence.
One pass to get McLean to move fol-lowed by another pass then a wicked shot fired on goal, heading into the bottom cor-ner…only to be denied by a huge kick-save.
It wouldn’t be too much of a stretch of the imagination to say that it seemed that JDF had more breakaways
in this game than the Ravens had shots on goal.
Ultimately, McLean saved 52 out of 60 shots as JDF blanked the Ravens 8-0.
Ian Hall, Reilly Doney, Max Nelson, Riley Wellman, Daniel Gil-son, Owen Boyd, Andy Hunt, Dawson Brown, Jasper Osterhout-Code, Cole Gent, Connor Lud-vigson, Nick Kool and Thomas Dunn all gave a tremendous effort but the Ravens just came up short on this day against the team cur-
rently in second place of the twelve-team B division.
Coach Todd Fair is proud of the way the Windsor Plywood Bantam Ravens are competing to the final buzzer.
As he said at the start of the season, this isn’t about W’s and L’s.
The focus this season is on improvement and each player has a dif-ferent area they need to work on.
Ultimately they need to believe in them-selves and each other
while continuing to learn some of the basic and finer points of the game.
Their confidence will develop and strengthen over time.
As long as they work hard, do their best and have fun, it just doesn’t matter what’s on the scoreboard.
Ravens next home game is at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday May 27 at Rod Brind’Amour arena against Oceanside.

Ravens in summer games
The Midget B Ravens have more than just
some local talent on their team.
May 13 five athletes from Campbell River Marine Power Midget B Lacrosse Team attended the BC Summer games try out held at the Island Savings Centre in Duncan.
Netminder Baily Robinson was one of two chosen from a field of five goalies to
represent the team. Robinson will be able to provide support to his local teammates because this is his second time playing in the BC games in box lacrosse. Four runners from the Campbell River lacrosse association will be playing for the first time at this level of competition. This will be their first year playing with
Team Island at the BC Summer Games.
First year midget players Lucas Marriot Spencer and Anthony Vignoron (field lacrosse) were two of the players chosen. The Marine Power midget captain Griffin Whyley and assistant captain Colton Edwards are certain to provide leadership on the bench as second year Midget players.
KRISTEN DOUGLASCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Growing up on a hobby farm, Jenna Falk
saw her share of live births.
But now in her adulthood, it’s not just animals she’s witnessed come into the world; she has also helped women deliver their own newborns.
Soon Falk, 25, will use those skills to help save lives in Africa.
Falk, a certified midwife from Black Creek, will lend her services to pregnant women in Sierra Leone for at least one year.
Falk, who plans to leave Sept. 9, says there is a desperate need for help in the poverty-stricken coun-try.
“According to sta-tistics, one in eight women will die either while pregnant, dur-ing childbirth or after childbirth,” Falk says. “And one in five babies die within the first month. Most of them are prevent-able, especially with the care of a trained provider during preg-nancy.”
That’s where Falk comes in.
Her role is to help women with pre-natal care, such as taking vitamins and eating healthy, as well as to assist in the delivery of the baby.
She will also have the opportunity to teach at a mid-wife training school, as well as work in a hos-pital built by UNICEF in 2011.
“There’s only one
doctor, two mid-wives, and untrained volun-teers working at the hospital,” Falk says. “They have a big need for staff, so we have an invite to work in the hospital.”
Falk will be joined in Sierra Leone by her friend Kayla Hatch from Iowa. Falk met Hatch in the Philip-pines where the two were trained in mid-wifery at the Mercy Maternity Centre from August 2009 to August 2011. The cen-tre is a charity birth-ing clinic and Falk received lots of hands-on training – she “caught” (midwives say the mom does the delivering) 88 babies.
Hatch’s father started an orphanage in Pujehun, Sierra Leone in 2002. Hatch spent time in the country with her father and told Falk about the need in Sierra Leone for mid-wives.
Falk says there are only 71-80 doctors in a country with a popula-tion of 6.5 million and in Sierra Leone, it’s hard to find someone who doesn’t person-ally know someone who has died in child birth. The main causes of death are hemorrhaging, infec-tion, hypertension, the baby getting stuck during child birth, and going into labour with conditions such as chronic malaria, parasites, and anemia.
Falk expects her work in Sierra Leone to be challenging. She’s not sure what medical supplies, if any, the hospital can provide and she’s not
expecting to get paid.In order to survive,
Falk needs about $1,000 a month for food, rent, and the cost of medical supplies.
“We’re not sure what the hospital has, my friend (Hatch) went to the hospital in September last year and saw patients and their families but no nurses, doctors, or any supplies,” Falk says. “They’ve got this building but it’s lack-ing in supplies.”
As for housing, Falk says she and Hatch will live like the locals.
“We want to live like the people there do so we can get to know them,” Falk
says. “Obviously we want to maintain our health so we have the strength and energy to be helpful to them but we don’t want to live in a castle when they’re living in huts.”
As a midwife, Falk is responsible for the care of mom and baby during a normal preg-nancy for nine months before the birth, dur-ing the birth, and then six weeks after birth.

An “early bird” garage sale fund-raiser in Campbell River tomor-row will support Quadra Cat Res-cue’s continued efforts to reduce the number of homeless cats and kittens.
Billed as a giant garage sale, the fundraiser will offer a wide range of goods (including pet supplies and household and recreational items) donated by people from Quadra Island and Campbell River.
The fundraiser garage sale will take place from 8 a.m. until noon at 770 Marina Boulevard (off Robron Road) in Campbell River – one of Quadra Cat Rescue’s foster homes.
People who attend the garage sale will also have an opportunity to meet Shilo, one of last summer’s Quadra kittens that was placed in a foster home when she was weeks old and is now ready for adoption.
Quadra Cat Rescue volunteers will also accept “pennies for paws” during the garage sale.
Quadra Cat Rescue has fixed more than 200 cats and kittens since March 2009 – and found homes for many that turned out to be strays or abandoned.
For more information, or to
volunteer or adopt already fixed felines, contact Quadra Cat Rescue by telephone: 250-285-CATS (2287) or via email [email protected]. Or check out their website: www.quadracats.com.
“It’s a job that brings a lot of joy,” Falk says. “Nursing was an interest also but to be there at the time of birth is such an hon-our, I really wanted to be a part of that.”
Falk will be return-ing to her training clinic in the Philip-pines in June to brush up on her skills.
Just prior to that, she’s hosting a Choco-late Extravaganza on June 1 to raise money for her work in Sierra Leone. The event takes place at River Heights Church (2201 Robert Lang Dr.) in Courtenay at 7 p.m. and includes chocolate fondue and other choc-olate desserts. There will also be a silent auction, live music by a string quartet and and a short presenta-tion from Falk about her upcoming journey. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased from Falk Saturday when she presents a slide-show at the Campbell River Common with Total Change Minis-tries, from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. or by calling Falk at (250) 337-8759.

Springtime’s first wave of wildflowers
will soon wash away alongside nature trails, with blossoms of many native lily species now fading.
In the Pacific Northwest, there’s still time to see the showy western tril-lium, grow-ing alongside its botanical ‘cousins,’ fawn lilies and swamp lanterns.
The trillium name derives from the Latin for three, as the plant
normally bears leaves, petals and sepals in whorls of three.
Occasionally, when a plant grows in excep-tionally rich soil, a specimen may show
two or even three sets of petals.
Initially blooming white as snow, our local wild trillium, once polli-nated, gradu-ally fades to a stunning
deep wine colour, thus proving that some things enhance with age.
Masses of these
fragrant, regal white flowers were first reported in 1806 by the Lewis and Clark expe-dition.
Trilliums prefer semi-shade and tend to have wet feet, so look for these beauties on moist forest floors, or alongside stream-banks and riversides.
All trilliums attract ants, which carry away the seed, and eat the oil organ con-taining unsaturated fatty acids, thus help-ing trilliums spread across the forest floor.
Always leave trilli-ums alone as clipping the leaves and flowers can kill the rhizome and set the plant back.

Perfect hair...always!
Kerry Fraser was always known as one of the best referees in the National Hockey League, but he was better known for his immaculate coiffure. Now
retired from reffing the big boys, Fraser was in Campbell River on Monday night to officiate the charity hockey match between the NHL Oldtimers and the
local Law Enforcement club. The undermanned Law Enforcement team weren’t much of a match for the Oldtimers which included Hall of Famers Bryan Trot-
tier and Glenn Anderson. Even a couple lopsided trades didn’t help the Cops who fell 17-12...or something like that. See more photos on Page A31.

Campbell River Communities in Bloom won’t wilt
Campbell River beautification efforts will continue throughout the community this spring and summer season, thanks to volunteers from the City’s Communities in Bloom committee.
Campbell River residents are reminded to watch for news about the sixth annual garden contest, the continuing adopt-a-highway program, business beautification recognition opportunities, another round of the Great Curb Appeal Campaign and community workshops.
Campbell River will also participate in Communities in Bloom this year, but as a non-
evaluated community.Communities in Bloom
volunteers will be seeking community funding to assist their efforts, and have begun with a $3,000 grant from the Strathcona Regional District that will support the garden contest, which is expanding into Area D this year.
The Communities in Bloom Committee remains committed to enhancing beautification efforts in Campbell River.
Celebrating its 18th year, Communities in Bloom is a Canadian non-profit organization committed to fostering civic pride, environmental responsibility and beautification.
For more information about Communities in Bloom, call the City Parks Department at 250-286-7275
