Campbell River Mayor Walter Jakeway (second from left) and his wife Eunice hold a copy of the Courier-Islander during a photo shoot for the Campbell River contingent on the recent China trip organized by the Chamber of Commerce. Jakeway said the trip was an eye opener and he’s seriously considering going again in the future.

Teachers’ job action begins todaySIAN THOMSON COURIER-ISLANDER

If the last time local teach-ers went on job action is any indication, there should be no major problems in the early stages.

The first phase of job action by the BC teachers begins today

with only administrative duties being affected.

Campbell River District Teachers’ Association Pres-ident Elaine Thompson said the CRDTA will work with local administration to make sure that the first phase of job action does not affect students.

“The last time we went through this, the union and administration worked togeth-er to ensure student safety and that students’ needs were being met,” said Thompson.

“We did this very successfully in this district.”

Described as “low level stage

one action”, there will be no immediate school closures or disruptions to students.

Teachers will continue to teach, write report cards, com-municate with parents, and participate in their volunteer extracurricular activities.See TEACHERS page 3.

Community forum setfor city alcohol policyCOURIER-ISLANDER

A community forum about municipal alcohol policy development takes place on Wednesday, April 30, 6:30 p.m. at the Campbell River Community Centre.

The City of Campbell Riv-er’s current municipal alco-hol policy will be updated with community input to ensure special occasion licences and procedures for hosting a special occa-sion event on City property maintain municipal stan-dards for health and safety at events where beer, wine or liquor will be served.

The municipal alcohol pol-icy update is separate from the recent provincial review of BC’s Liquor Control and Licensing Act; it applies only to special occasion

licences in the city of Camp-bell River. These policies focus on requirements for obtaining a special occasion licence for events held on municipal government prop-erty, and streamlining the licence application process. Each community proposes terms and conditions rel-evant to their municipality and consistent with provin-cial legislation.

More than 25,000 special occasion licences are issued in BC every year.

Applying for and pur-chasing a special occasion licence is necessary to sell alcohol in beer gardens, at weddings, birthday parties, community celebrations and other events in other-wise unlicensed locations such as parks and commun-ity halls.

The applicant for the licence is responsible for the event and must be either an individual or a desig-nated representative from a sports club, service club or other non-profit group or organization.

A municipal alcohol policy addresses public health and safety concerns while rais-ing awareness of the roles and responsibilities for alco-hol provision and consump-tion. Conditions can include a requirement to have a safe ride home plan for event participants and procedures for the prevention of under-age drinking.

The City of Campbell Riv-er policy outlines guidelines and conditions for events where alcohol is served in city facilities or on city property.

City, CRIB work togetherfor sidewalk infi ll projectNEIL CAMERON COURIER-ISLANDER

The City of Campbell River has added an item to their 2014 capital works plan, taking advantage of an agreement with the Wei Wai Kum (Campbell River Indian Band) First Nations.

ENVIRONMENT

COURIER-ISLANDER

The North Island College (NIC) Board of Governors has approved a balanced budget for the 2014/15 fis-cal year which projects revenues and expenditures totaling $38,196,587.

In recommending approval of the budget at the Board’s meeting held on Thursday, March 27, 2014 at the Comox Valley Campus, NIC President John Bowman noted that the development of the budget was very chal-lenging due to increasing costs and reduced provin-cial government funding. He also noted that other colleges and universities in the province are experi-

encing similar budgetary challenges.

“In order to achieve a balanced budget, a pro-jected shortfall of approxi-mately $900,000 had to be resolved,” he said. “The budget gap was created by a base grant reduc-tion from the Ministry of Advanced Education (-1.08 per cent), combined with unavoidable cost increases associated with negotiated annualized wage increases, salary step progressions for regular employees, pension and benefit cost increases, and other non-salary budget adjustments for capital and ancillary services.”

The budget adjust-ments that have been

approved as a part of the College’s financial plan are as follows: increased domestic student tuition revenues from a two per cent increase to rates as approved by the board of Governors on Jan. 30, 2014; increased investment income; reduction in travel expenditures; elimination of the budget contingency for benefit costs; adminis-tration and support servi-ces reductions; and educa-tion division reductions.

“In making the budget-ary adjustments for the next year, the College has worked hard to minimize the impact to students, employees and the com-munities we serve,” he said.

Two young eagles preying on local cats“Listening to the cats’ meows made me want to cry. Seeing it fl y past the Anchor Inn...”SIAN THOMSON COURIER-ISLANDER

Alice Marie Warner has witnessed what she called the horrifying sights of two eagles attacking cats in her neighbourhood.

“Over the last 10 days, three cats, an orange tabby, a grey and white and a black and white cat, have been carried off by these young eagles,” said Warner, who lives right across from the Anchor Inn on the Island Highway. “Same goes for my dad, he saw it too. The eagles went right over our house and then flew across to the rocks on the beach in front of the Anchor Inn and dropped the cats.”

Residents between 1st and 4th avenues in Campbell River are being warned about two young and brazen eagles in the area.

“They are not afraid at all,”

she said. “We had one land on our deck and they are looking for something to go after.”

Over the last 10 days Warner said that cats in the neighbour-

hood have gone missing. “I have seen them in the claws

of these animals. I was heart-broken to see this.

“Just the thought of one’s

companion being grabbed by huge talons is not a nice thought. Listening to the cats’ meows made me want to cry. Seeing it fly past the Anchor Inn I knew the cat had no chance of living from being dropped onto rocks from 50 to 70 feet in the air.”

Cathy Koropecki Catterall said a friend of hers also wit-nessed the attacks. “A friend of mine was on her way to work in Campbell River the

other morning and she wit-nessed an eagle swoop down in a ditch and grab what she thought was a small cat or a bunny.

“Very disturbing that’s for sure.

“ I am glad we don’t let our little one (cat) outside unless she has a leash on her.”

According to eagle experts, a bald eagle capturing a cat is not impossible, but highly unusual.

Their main diet is fish, but they are opportunistic and will eat squirrels, ducks, seagulls, turtles and Canada geese. They will also feast on carcasses, including [email protected]

One of the cat-killing eagles, a juvenile.

Continued from page 1.“On March 6, after over a year of nego-

tiations, 89 per cent of BC teachers voted in favour of potential job action to help secure a fair and reasonable settlement,” said BC Teachers’ Federation President Jim Iker. “The overwhelming vote was a strong and decisive mandate from teach-ers to put pressure on Christy Clark’s government and the negotiators for the

BC Public School Employers’ Associa-tion. Teachers hoped that the vote would encourage the government and employ-er’s association to back off key demands, strips, and unreasonable positions.

“Unfortunately,” Iker said, “more than six weeks since that vote, the government and employers’ unfair positions have barely moved. The government and BC Public School Employer’s Association con-

tinue to demand concessions while ignoring the BC Supreme Court ruling on class size, com-position, and staffing levels. In addition, the unreasonable 10-year term and salary proposals, which include up to two more years of zeros, are still on the table.”

During stage one job action teachers will not undertake any mandated supervision of

students outside of regularly scheduled classes, except as set out by an essential services order.

They will not attend any meetings with management other than meetings of the worksite Joint Health and Safety Com-mittee, provide principals or administra-tors with any routine printed, written, or electronic communication or receive any printed, written, or electronic com-munication from an administrator. Teachers will be at a worksite prior to one hour before commencement of instruc-tional time and one hour after the end of instructional time, other than for pre-arranged voluntary activities.

“Despite our patience and our measured approach in bargaining, Christy Clark and her government are once again trying to provoke BC teachers and shut down BC schools,” said Iker. “Job action, even low-level action, is always a last resort

because teachers care deeply about our schools and our students. That is why teachers are asking for smaller classes, more one-on-one time for our students, extra help for those who need it, and more specialist teachers to enhance every student’s educational experience.”

Iker also explained that any escalation of Stage 1 to Stage 2, which would mean rotating strikes, will depend entirely on progress at the negotiating table. “Teach-ers expect the government to abandon the ill-conceived 10-year scheme, make improvements to working and learning conditions like class size, class compos-ition, and specialist staffing levels as well as offer a fair and reasonable salary increase.

“Our hope is for a negotiated deal at the bargaining table and not escalating job action,” said Iker.

NATIONAL DAY OF MOURNING April 28, 2014

Every day thousands of workers in BC go to work and return home safety, but last year 11 workers died on the job in the forestry industry. Each one, a valued member of our community.

April 28th is the Na onal Day of Mourning and the BC forest industry, its associa ons, companies and workers — along with thou-sands across BC — will honour all those who have lost their lives.

Work place deaths are preventable. Each of us must con nue to work together to en-sure all workers return home safely every day.

Because unsafe is unacceptable.

Spay and neuter program making inroads to cat woesSIAN THOMSON COURIER-ISLANDER

A two-year spay and neuter pro-gram just might remove the ‘aban-doned cat capital of the world’ title from Campbell River.

That’s according to SPCA Chief Executive Officer Craig Daniell when he introduced the Low Income Spay and Neuter Project, a $158,000 two-year project grant from PetS-mart Charities of Canada. The grant allowed for the sterilization of up to 1,500 cats in the community.

Campbell River SPCA had been taking in 112 cats per 1,000 people, five times more than the runner-up, Penticton.

The Campbell River SPCA is now five months into the cat spay and neuter program after being awarded $158,000 grant from PetSmart Char-ities of Canada back in October 2013, to implement a two year program that would allow the spaying or neutering of 1,500 cats in Campbell

River.As of March 31, local veterinarians

volunteering for this service have fixed 491 owned, feral, or free roam-ing cats in Campbell River.

They have spayed 241 female cats and neutered 250 male cats.

Out of these 491 cats 64 of them were feral cats. Forty three of the feral cats have been trapped neutered and released by a group of BCSPCA volunteers that have targeted a few known cat colonies. The other 21 cats have been trapped by other volunteers from different organizations that are also pas-sionate about controlling the cat overpopulation.

Ten out of the 491 cats have been free roaming — also known as com-munity cats — these are strays that are looked after by members of the community, luckily for these cats these people have gone above and beyond and have taken them in to get spayed or neutered and continue

to look after them.The remaining 417 cats are owned

cats.This project would not be possible

without the participation of two local veterinary clinics, Campbell River Veterinary Hospital and Mere-croft Veterinary Hospital.

A healthy female cat can have upwards of three litters a year, with each litter averaging five kittens, for a total of 15 kittens a year times the 241 females that have been spayed so far; that is an amazing number of unborn kittens that would have con-tributed to the cat overpopulation.

Owners who want their cat to be fixed are asked to donate a one time $30 fee which will be put back into the program to allow for more cats to be spayed. If you do not have these funds you can still get your cat fixed. Call 250-830-4192 or email [email protected] for more information.

European Hornbeans adorn urban roadway“They’ll create shade and a comfortable setting for pedestrians along a busy traffic route.”

COURIER-ISLANDER

New trees and an irrigation system have been installed along South Dogwood Street to enhance a section of path that wraps around Campbell River.

As part of the first phase of landscaping upgrades to the Dogwood Street extension, 80 European Hornbeam trees have

been planted, and an irrigation system has been installed to pro-vide water when weather con-ditions require until the trees become well established.

The trees were purchased with a $9,000 grant from BC Hydro and Tree Canada.

A proven success in other areas of the city, the European Hornbeam tree grows quickly,

provides good site lines and requires less maintenance than other tree species.

This first phase runs from the Holm Road Reservoir entrance into Beaver Lodge Lands to South Alder Street. The sec-ond phase will run from South Alder to Erickson Road, and the final phase will continue from Erickson Road to the Jubilee

Parkway.“The trees line the most urban

section of the 25-km Greenways Loop, and they’ll create shade and a comfortable setting for pedestrians along a busy traffic route,” says Ross Milnthorp, the City’s general manager of parks, recreation and culture. “The path is close to Campbell River’s southern residential areas

and attracts large numbers of people, and the street trees will help make this area even more inviting.”

Street trees in this area will also help keep the air clean, buffer wind, and absorb carbon emissions.

Parks staff will be respon-sible for the ongoing street tree maintenance.

‘Pre-authorized’ plan okayedCOURIER-ISLANDER

City Council ratified the implementation of offering Campbell River property owners the abil-

ity to make monthly con-tributions to tax payments rather than paying in a lump sum.

The decision was made at Tuesday’s council meeting.

The new pre-authorized payment service would begin in August this year, with contributions earning interest toward 2015 tax payments.

Area D residents havespoken loud and clear

Albert Einstein once said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. This is exactly what Campbell River politicians are guilty of. Now they are claiming that they just want to “help” Area D residents who have sep-tic problems. As yet no one has officially reported their problem to the health authorities. Camp-bell River City Council however is still deaf to a number of rejec-tions of all of their proposals to forcibly annex part of Area D.

Is their tactics of harassment and bullying simply to further their own hidden agenda? Why is Campbell River city council continually spending money they are in short supply of, on meetings and open houses in our area without any one of them actually attending?

Good decisions are made based on best available information and there is nothing better than getting that information first hand. Why does Campbell River city council continue to pay consultants, analysts and spin doctors etc. to provide them with information that Area D has loudly been telling the entire province?

WE DO NOT WANT TO BECOME PART OF CAMPBELL RIVER!

How many times do we need to

say NO? We are not the Crimea and you

(city council) are not Russia. Just quit meddling in our affairs. There are people who would like sewers, but the vast majority of residents do not want to be forced to be annexed to Camp-bell River in order to get those sewers. City council knows that

sewers can be provided without the forced amalgamation, so what is the real reason they continue to try to annex us when they already know from past experience that they will not all of a sudden get a different result?

I challenge all Campbell River city council to attend the next

open house that you are again paying for to hear for yourself what Area D residents have repeatedly said. It is at the Oys-ter Bay Resort on April 30 from 5 to 8 p.m.

How many of you will come?

Cecil and Helen Henley, Area D residents

OpinionWe want to hear from you. Send your letters to [email protected] or call 250-287-7464

Council seems resigned on Area D voteThere was a sense of resigna-

tion from city council when Area D residents packed the

chambers at last Tuesday’s meet-ing and voiced their opposition to amalgamation.

Or sewer extension.Or annexation.Whatever anybody wanted to

call it, the crowd in the room didn’t want anything to do with it.

Councillors Andy Adams and Claire Moglove both said they just want to have the Area D voters decide yes or no.

Adams went further, saying there was no hidden agenda behind the city’s plans.

Moglove said it would be unfair to those who might like to have a sewer hook up if they didn’t get a vote. And she said it would be unfair to those opposed to it, like the people crowding council chambers, if they too didn’t get a chance to vote.

Councillor Larry Samson was joined by Mayor Walter Jakeway in voting against proceeding with the referendum. They were outvoted.

This has become a tedious process, one that started about 20 years ago when a referendum then suggested some Area D resi-dents wanted to hook up to the

city’s sewer system.At the time the city and the

Strathcona Regional District could not come up with an agree-ment to extend the sewers, so it fell by the wayside, only now to rear its head once again.

This time the catch is that if Area D residents want the sewer hook up they have to join the city. That’s wasn’t a condition 20 years ago.

Perhaps a sign of council’s resig-nation to the issue is that none of them attended an open house held to lay out the plans to local residents.

Now there are two more sessions

planned, the first one being April 30.

The crowd attending the council meeting aren’t really interested in the meetings, they just want the process to stop. But they did invite council members to come out and meet all the residents who are against joining the city.

There’s not much council can learn about the deal that they don’t already know, and haven’t already approved.

But it will be interesting to see if any of them show up April 30 to get another dose of opposition to a proposal that’s getting very stale as the years go by.

During National Volunteer Week (April 6-12), Canadian Blood Services thanked (http://youtu.be/IA37-9I2Evo) and

celebrated the more than 17,000 volunteers who donated 210,000 hours of their time in the last year to support Canada’s blood system.

Volunteers help make saving lives possible.

We truly appreciate the tal-ent and energy our volunteers contribute — it’s time that made a significant difference in the lives of hundreds of thousands of Canadians who needed blood products this past year.

Volunteers promote important campaigns throughout the year, coordinate and host blood donor

clinics and speak to others about the importance of blood, stem cell, organ and tissue donations.

On behalf of our national team at Canadian Blood Services, I’d like to send a heart-felt thanks to all volunteers in the North Island area who support Canad-ian Blood Services as well as other charitable organizations in Canada.

NEW PRICE

Area D meeting designsmeant to stifl e opposition

Campbell River council has, in its wisdom, decided to push ahead with its attempts to annex the northern portion of Area D in Strathcona Regional District. We have yet to learn the real reason why.

It has scheduled another “open house” meeting for Wednesday, April 30 at the Oyster Bay Resort at 5 p.m. We are concerned that this is yet another tactic by the City to stifle opposition and limit public participation, for the fol-lowing reasons:

1. This location is outside the area concerned and is located approximately 10 km south from the school used for the previous meeting.

2. Wednesday is the only evening during the week when the school is not available.

3. Attendance will be limited to 125 by the resort’s building safety regulation.

About double this number attended the first meeting where we gathered at least 150 of the 673 signatures on our petition opposed to this pro-posed annexation recently sent to you.

Parking is also limited at the resort.

4. Many residents will be working in Campbell River at that time.

5. None of the city council or its staff attended the first meeting.

6. No records were kept of and none of the details requested by attendees were ever forthcoming.

This so-called “public par-ticipation” process is a farce designed to fill a “check box” on your boundary extension process.

The consultant organizing it is in the city’s employ, so we cannot expect a fair hearing in the spirit of your Municipal Boundary Extension Process Guide (2010).

Could the city please assign a senior professional, who is knowledgeable in the process and with a demonstrably neutral position, to supervise these “public participation” meetings?

We could then be satis-fied that the opponents to this annexation have had a fair hearing, whatever the outcome.

Malcolm A. Wilson,Area D

BANKING

A different kind of banking needed(A letter to Coastal Community

Credit Union, published here by request.)

Your, our, decision to close three small branches on three small islands shows a remark-able lack of social conscience. BC Ferries has just dumped on these communities and you, we, choose to dump on them too.

Recently HSBC chose to can-cel many small accounts and likely you, we, received some of those small accounts. They won’t make us much money, but

Credit Unions are not all about making money. I know HSBC received bad publicity for drop-ping those accounts. You, we, will receive a kick in the pants for closing these branches and we will deserve it. Co-Ops and Credit Unions are all about mem-ber services and doing business in a socially responsible way, not necessarily the money making way.

The Sointula, Alert Bay and Cortes Island branches likely will never make much money. In

all likelihood, they will continue to lose money for the foreseeable future.

Until our society, government, grows a conscience, we members of credit unions will have to take up some of the slack that our big city and big business system leaves behind.

Living together cooperatively is not always profitable, but it is the better way.

Falk talk featured at Black CreekCOURIER-ISLANDER

Black Creek Community Centre is once again host-ing Steven Falk, founder of Switchback, for a talk entitled “Setting targets and achieving personal and community goals.”

The talk takes place Sat-urday, May 10, from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. at 2001 Black Creek Road, Black Creek. Admission is $10 per person. For more information call

250-337-5190.Participants should expect

to be “really inspired, chal-lenged and encouraged,” says Falk. Black Creek’s Steven Falk, created Switchback in 2009 to train loggers how to think about safety. It has since expanded to include community development, First Nations communities and personal and professional growth.

This fascinating talk about “thinking about how

you think” is for anyone from athletes who need to squeeze that extra five per cent out of themselves; communities poised for opportunity, but who need to change their paradigm in order to capture that oppor-tunity; anyone wanting to build a team; or anyone wanting to stabilize home and work environment, said Falk.

CULTURE

Campbell River artists Martina Kowalchuk and Cheryl Taylor will be bringing fun, design and colour to the Campbell River Art Gallery for a special class created just for kids ages 7 to 12 years from May 6 to 27.

This one-time only course, called “Fish Frenzy: Paper

Mache Sculpture” will offer local children the chance to get cre-ative with paper mache.

Kowalchuk, a graduate of the Emily Carr College of Art, has designed and created jewelry with world-renowned artist Bill Reid, has been a draughts person with the provincial government

and has studied traditional tap-estry with Lilly Bohlin.

Taylor has studied acrylic painting with Jill Paris Rody and Anita Moody, as well as draw-ing with North Island College’s Tracy Kobus. She and Kowal-chuk work together weekly exploring many artistic med-

iums, including papier mache. Kowalchuk and Taylor will

work with children using found objects, paper, tape, paste and fabric in this messy, creative and fun class creating paper mache fish. For more information 250-287-2261 or email [email protected].

Discover the Power of Your Home, Your Community, and Your Life.

Discovering how to make your home and property work for you is simpler than you might think. Don’t let inertia prevent you from getting out, getting connected and getting dirty. Transforming your home and garden into a functional, diverse, and productive part of your life can be as simple as interacting differently with your world.

Connectivity. Your power to affect change in your immediate surroundings depends on your relationships within it. A common adage found in traditional indigenous cultures is that “We have everything we need, right here, right now.” A simple paradigm shift inspired by this wisdom can help us see the value of what is often right in front of you.

Self-Reliance. Equating self-reliance with self-suffi ciency often leads to hasty and expensive decisions. Self-reliance means knowing when and where to look for input for solutions that are most appropriate for your needs. There are people in your community that can help you gain the information needed for any stage of your home and garden projects.

Resources. The most important aspect of our home and garden systems are resources. In addition to the physical resources such as wood, earth, water, tools, etc., are knowledge, skills, money and many we don’t think of. The wondrous part about resources is that the most important ones are already given and free.

More than 80% of the materials used to create a glass greenhouse on 5th street in Courtenay were recycled. The owner of the small urban lot in the old orchard area just above Puntledge Park had most of the materials laying around the property. The rest came from a local recycler. The company Discovery Greenhouses designed a greenhouse using the available materials and will last many years.

It takes awareness of what is available and a little creative thinking. Good design provides the road-map for creating a rich and dynamic home zone with ever-increasing simplicity and less money dependence. Before you take that next load to the dump, or the next time you’re in conversation with your neighbour, take a moment to consider the resources in your area.

Begin. Taking forward steps is a dynamic, ever-changing process. There are no mistakes because there is always something to be learned. A permaculture educator on Denman Island once said, “It does not matter where you start, what matters is that you do.” Making small incremental changes while interacting with your community to gain knowledge will help ensure you make choices that you won’t regret.

Explore your wild side and your creative side – with nature-based mys-teries this spring.

The City of Campbell River’s Recreation & Cul-ture Department is offering Nature Detectives for kids six to nine years old that will include games, crafts and outdoor activities based on a different mys-tery adventure each week.

“Sign up soon for the outdoor fun of search-ing out nature’s clues to

solve the mysteries about insects, reptiles and their habitats,” says recreation programmer Margaret Lukban. “Our leaders are health and safety conscious, extremely ener-getic, enthusiastic and fun! And all children in Nature Detectives will learn about nature, be physically active and artistically creative.”

This program runs every Friday from April 25 to May 23 from 3 to 4:30 p.m. at the Sportsplex. The registra-tion fee is $20 for a total of five classes.

Parents, sign up your little detectives at the Campbell River Commun-ity Centre or Sportsplex – and please make sure they arrive prepared to have fun, get dirty, learn and play as we explore the outdoors.

For more information about this program, drop in to see us at the Sports-plex or Community Centre, or pick up the Spring/Sum-mer Recreation Guide, available at our recreation facilities and online at www.campbellriver.ca.

Timberline’s Little Women opens ThursdayCOURIER-ISLANDER

Tomorrow night, Timberline Secondary School presents “Little Women” the musical at Timberline Theatre at 7 p.m.

It’s an annual rite of spring in Campbell River to be entertained by the Timberline production.

And this year is no different.Based on Louisa May Alcott’s

enduring classic, Little Women follows the beloved stories of the March sisters as they come of age in Civil War America. This timeless and captivating story is brought to life in this glori-ous musical filled with personal

discovery, heartache, hope, and everlasting love.

Defiant and headstrong Jo, deli-cate Beth, sweet Meg, and petu-lant Amy captivate us as they enchant the men in their lives.

Each young woman with the guidance of their Marmee, seek to find their voice — just as this

powerful score brings us the sounds of a young America find-ing its way in the new world. Through laughter, tears, and a profound uplifting of spirit, the March sisters will wind their way into your heart, gently taking your breath away.

The show opens tomorrow

night, and also runs on Friday and Saturday.

Then it returns for three more performances May 1,2 and 3.

Tickets are $12 for students and seniors, $15 for adults.

Tickets can be purchased at the school’s office or online at www.sd72.bc.ca/school/timberline.

LegaciesThe passing of former Finance Minister Jim Flaher-

ty got me to thinking about the subject of legacies. At the age of 64 his life ended far too soon. He oversaw many new programs including the Tax Free Savings Account and Registered Disability Savings Programs and was one of the steadiest hands on the levers that guided Canada through the global financial crisis.

While he was liked by friends and foes his policies often stirred debate. His flip-flop on income trust tax-ation and his calling out the banks on their lax mort-gage lending practices put more than a few noses out of joint. He chipped away at the sacred cows of retire-ment (CPP and OAS) in an effort to make them more sustainable. Even his boss Prime Minister Harper wasn’t immune to his “tell it like it is” persona as he

recently forewarned that an enhancement of income splitting may not be in the best interests of Canada.

Those in the know would say that he got most things right and caught a few breaks along the way. My impression was he always acted in the spirit of what was best for Canada.

So, what will your legacy be? A century from now will time have noticed we ever existed? Not some-thing that the average 30 year old raising a family

has time to consider but perhaps those with more time to reflect.

Will it be tangible? Writers, artists and actors have the benefit of leaving their crafts for future gen-erations to consider. Builders and architects leave behind bridges and buildings while entrepreneurs leave businesses. Or will it be something intangible? Volunteers and generous donors often leave behind a legacy of caring and support through organizations that give back.

I can’t help but think the Seawalk, Campbell River, Millennium Trail and future suspension bridge will still be there. As will the spirit of the Rotary Clubs, donors, volunteers, BC Hydro employees and polit-icians that allowed these to come to fruition. I walk frequently in the Beaver Lodge Lands and reflect upon Norma Solderholm’s and others efforts to save and those of the Greenways Land Trust to enhance.

One doesn’t need a park named after them or a wing of a hospital dedicated in their honour but maybe the question should be asked. Do you wish to be remem-bered and how?

The March family: Amy (Taija Larmand), Beth (Jessica Shillito), Meg (Kyla Sumner), Marmee (Yolanda Holderness) and Jo (Hayley Boyd). The Timberline students are ready to entertain you starting tomorrow.

Last weekend three pods from the Campbell River Killer Whales were busy swimming at three different meets across the country.

The first pod, of 11-13 year olds, were competing in Lang-ley racing in a heats and finals event off the Island. A second pod of 20 Killer Whales, ranging from veterans of the club to some who were racing in their inaugural long course meet, were in Nanaimo for the first long course meet of the season.

Lastly, Killer Whales Conner Skuse and Mackenzie Pading-ton were attending a National team camp in Saskatoon that had a meet on the Saturday afternoon. Skuse and Pading-ton were among the top swim-mers chosen by Swim BC to go and compete against Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Team BC won the meet in large part to the two wins by Pading-ton and Skuse’s silver in the 800m freestyle.

“There were some stand out results from each group of swimmers and it was a great weekend overall, kicking off the long course swimming sea-son,” said Killer Whales head coach Darryl Rudolf.

Ten of the Killer Whales top 13 and under swimmers travelled with assistant coach Sarah Rudolf over to the LOSC LC Invitational meet in Langley, which was a heats and finals meet attended by clubs from across the Lower Mainland, as well as two Island

teams. The Killer Whales swam

beyond any of the coaches’ expectations lowering their per-sonal bests from last season by huge amounts of time, as well as showing improvement from the first part of the season.

Highlights included Jasmine Skuse achieving her third Age Group National (AGN) qualify-ing time in the 1500m freestyle,

qualifying her for the AGN championships that will be coming up at the end of the sea-son. She also placed top eight in all of her eight races, making finals in the 12 and under cat-egory as an 11 year old.

Jamiliya Wellard also achieved her second AGN quali-fying time in the 50m butterfly, which was the first race of the weekend for all the Killer

Whales.“It was a great race that

motivated the team throughout the rest of the weekend,” said Rudolf.

Wellard also placed top eight in all her races, qualifying her for the finals every time she got in the pool.

Emmy Stapff also had a break-out weekend as the youngest of the Killer Whales at the

competition. She achieved two of her 13 and under AA times qualifying her for the AA Prov-incial championships at the end of the season. Other great races came from Cole Reid in the 100m and 200m backstroke, Maya Ruehlen in the 200m and 400m IM, Kasey Lathangue in the 800m freestyle and Jocelyn Diemer in the 100m freestyle.

The swimmers in Nanaimo had a fantastic weekend of racing highlighted by the swims of some of the youngest swim-mers in CRKW. Maura Dybwad, Regan Moreau, Emilie Diemer and Yana Jacobs all swam their first long course competition ever, rising to the challenge and racing well.

Carson Dunn also had a great day of racing, lowering his times in all of his three races and swimming with a lot of confidence. Kara Beauregard was a shining star in the 100m and 200m backstroke, as well as the 100m freestyle and 200m IM.

From some of the veteran Killer Whales, Sasha Jacobs had one of her best meets of theyear, showing huge improve-ment from short course season to the beginning of the long course season. Amy Johnston also showed huge improve-ments which is very exciting at this point of the season.

Next up for the Killer Whales is the PCS Wavemaker from Friday to Sunday. “This is a highlight meet for the club dur-ing the long course season,” said Rudolf about the event to be held in the Commonwealth Pool in Victoria.

Campbell River Killer Whales swimmers at the Langley meet included, from left, Jasmine Skuse, Jocelyn Diemer, Kailee Fisk, Emmy Stapff, Kasey Lathangue, Cole Reid, Jamiliya Wellard, Aleah Jordan, Maya Ruehlen and Lilan Forsyth.

COURIER-ISLANDER

The Campbell River Windsor Plywood Midget A2 Ravens trav-elled to Fuller Lake on Saturday to start their 2014 Vancouver Island Midget Box Lacrosse League season against Cowichan Valley (CV).

Like many teams in the south-ern Island, CV has been practi-cing since mid-February with an exhibition game or two thrown in for good measure. Those extra repetitions were very beneficial as CV took control of the game early with some stellar passing and teamwork. They kept the Ravens penned in their own end from the opening face-off, forcing Ravens goalie Will McLean to make a couple of tough saves to keep the game scoreless in the early stages.

CV proved that the transition up the floor and hustling hard to the bench on change of position allows a team to launch a formid-able attack as they gained the length of the bench to start odd-man attacks on the Raven defend-ers. The sustained pressure kept the Ravens on their heels a bit as CV jumped out to a 3-0 lead.

Cole Gent was able to thread a beauty pass to Nolan Fair near the top of the crease and he wired it into the top corner where mom keeps the peanut butter to crack the goose-egg. CV led 4-1 at the end of the first period.

CV scored again to make it 5-1 but the Ravens kept coming. Fair took the ball up the left side of the floor on the attack then faked going through the heart of the slot before dishing the ball off to Reilly Doney at the side of the CV net. He caught and shot immediately. The CV goalie got a piece of it but couldn’t control the rebound. The ball came directly back to Fair and he put the bis-cuit in the basket to make it 5-2.

CV scored twice more before Nolan Morrison scored with a wicked shot from the top of the crease courtesy of another assist from Gent.

The third period had a similar feel to it as the earlier two. The Ravens worked hard at both ends of the floor but they struggled a few times to put more than three consecutive passes together. While the Ravens had a few “one-and-done” offensive forays, CV seemed to enjoy a three to one

margin in high quality scoring opportunities. CV scored twice to extend their lead to 9-3 before Quinn Pedersen fired a short pass from the goal line to Liam Rivett as he stood near the top of the crease. Rivett quickly snapped the ball into the open side of the net for a Raven goal. CV scored their final goal on the power-play to record a 10-4 victory.

“I’m very proud of the way our players kept their composure and displayed their work ethic the entire game,” said Ravens head coach Todd Fair. “One of our goals as coaches is to help each player develop their strengths while improving their weak-nesses so everyone contributes to the team’s success. We have three second-year players which means we lack experience compared to most of our competitors. Having said that, no-one can or will say that we lack effort or determina-tion. We want to develop, main-tain consistent effort and peak at the right time.

“Our (Campbell River Lacrosse) Association is very fortunate and honoured to be hosting the 2014 Midget Provincial Championships from July 23 to 27.”

First Storey Creek ladies guestnight hits the tee box Thursday KEN ZAHARIA COURIER-ISLANDER

The Storey Creek Ladies Club is all set to host the first of its popu-lar Ladies Guest Night, Thursday, April 24. Everyone is welcome and are invited to call the Storey Creek Pro Shop at 250-923-3673 to sign up as an individual or a group of up to four. The Esthetics Studio by Elvira is the night’s sponsor.

Kerr and Geri Enquist. Fay Baxter’s 71 was the low net

winner. Barb Hughes and Dorothy Ammerlaan tied for second, while Brenda Kelly and Sheila McCutcheon tied for third.

Tuesday was Nikki Johnston’s lucky day as she made her birdie putt on No. 7 to win the Pot of Gold.

Sunday’s game was Least Putts. Coming in with an 18-hole low round of 30 putts was Trish Piercy. There was a three way logjam at second between Jacquie Tarasoff, Julia Free and Betty Campbell.

It may have been raining all over Campbell River last Wednesday, but at Storey Creek, Men’s Club play once again escaped the wet stuff.

A total of 41 golfers teed it up and it was Joe Knight topping the field with a one over par 37. The high side was won by Sukhy Bains, one stroke back, at 38.

On Bruno Catroppa’s last men’s

club night (heading out of town to work - another familiar story) won low net on the high side while Kevin Mills won it on the low side.

Dr, Richard Cronk won the team game with back supporters Scott Maga, Greg Hartle, Mills and Bains winning with a 58. Graeme McNeill won the Haida Liquor Store KP on No. 7, with Rusty Archibald win-ning the Chinook long drive on No. 6 and Greg Hartle won the Coastal Eyecare long drive on No. 8.

Being a SaintDo you expect to become a Saint? Perhaps you should. Have you ever noticed that just about every person in the Bible who is chosen by God for some important mission balks at the idea? It almost seems as if it is “bad form” to be too ready and willing to be God’s standard-bearer. Moses was full of excuses for why he couldn’t be God’s mouthpiece, chief among them that he didn’t speak well. Young Samuel thought he was hearing his master Eli’s voice when he was really hearing the voice of God. And, even Jesus appeared to have His moment of doubt, asking His heavenly Father to “remove this cup from me” in the garden at Gethsemane (Mark 14: 36). The life of a saintly person is likely to be more fi lled with doubts than that of the ordinary man or woman, not less. Perhaps that is because so much more is asked of the saintly man and woman. How could one fail to be doubtful when facing such fearful circumstances as martyrdom? Ultimately, we are all called to be saints, because God is both our origin and our ultimate goal.

— Christopher Simon

To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 1:7

An eye-catching display by talented fibre artists from near and far will be one of the many draws when Vancouver Island Fibre Fest opens its doors May 2 through 4 at the Campbell River Community Centre.

Fibre artists are invited to submit an application for up to three pieces of Fibre Art in the People’s Choice Gallery at Fibre Fest.

“People’s Choice was very successful last year, and we are looking forward to sharing the hand knit, woven, quilted, sewn and stitched creations that will be showcased this year,” says Jennifer Furst, an auxiliary pro-grammer with the City’s Recrea-tion & Culture Department.

Fibre Art will be showcased at the opening reception on Fri-day, May 2, beginning at 7 p.m. – a good time to meet workshop instructors, enjoy appetizers and take in a presentation by Sally Melville called “Why we do what we do.”

Admission to the opening reception is by donation, with all proceeds going to support the City of Campbell River Recrea-tion & Culture Department’s spe-cialized recreation programs.

Haven’t signed up for a work-shop yet? It’s not too late!

‘Teenflight Campbell River’ is allowing this group of students an opportunity to learn about all aspects of the aviation field.

Enough funds have been raised to order the eppanage (tail section) kit so that the students can begin construction. With the help of Helifor, this section was delivered to the Campbell River Airport.

Bill Alder of Sealand Aviation has been instrumental in helping the students to raise money and expertise through the local avi-ation community.
