Mayor says sleep apnea no joke,tells of harrowing experiencesSIAN THOMSON COURIER-ISLANDER

There is a very common medical condition that sufferers do not want to talk about. But Campbell River Mayor Walter Jakeway says he would be ashamed if he did not talk about it, and in doing so, maybe save a life.

Walter Jakeway has obstructive sleep apnea.

When you have the disorder, your breathing actually stops or gets very shallow as you sleep. Hundreds of times every night, your breathing may pause for 10 or more seconds, depriving your body of oxygen and increasing your heart rate. Your brain responds by briefly disturbing your sleep enough to kick start breathing—which often resumes with a gasp or a choking sound.

“I was given an overnight oxy-metry test,” said Jakeway. “The test involves applying a plastic clip over the end of your finger. It showed that I stopped breath-ing over 27 times an hour. I would wake up probably every 45 minutes throughout the night and wake in the morning feeling sleepy, irrit-able, sad, forgetful, and headachy.”

Jakeway said only two per cent of the population knows they have

this condition, mainly because they need a bed partner to tell them they are snoring or not breathing for frequent intervals throughout the night.

“This is not just about a sleep disturbance, this is a big killer and

so simple to fix,” said Jakeway. “ It is not just chubby people who have it, or just men who have it, it affects everyone of all body types, even children.

A 74-year-old male cyclist is dead following a collision with a vehicle on Jubilee Parkway on Wednesday afternoon.

The incident occurred at 4 p.m. just west of Dogwood Street. The male cyclist succumbed to his injuries at the scene.

Campbell River RCMP spoke with witnesses and the 24-year-old male driver from Nanaimo who had remained at the collision site. Jubilee was closed for several hours.

Police do not suspect speed or alcohol as factors in the acci-dent, said RCMP Staff Sgt. Troy Beauregard.

The investigation will continue and focus on possible causes, he said. In the meantime the name of the cyclist is not being released.

Sgt. Beauregard said support for the family of the deceased was provided by the Campbell River RCMP Victims [email protected]

Is there a municipal election in November?

Mayor Walter Jakeway has already announced that he will be running for re-election and

Councillor Larry Samson has also declared.

But it was Jakeway who made it perfectly clear what the biggest part of his platform would be at Tuesday night’s meeting.

“By simple calculations our

taxes have gone up in the last three years 21.4 per cent and that’s outrageous and there’s no way I’ll be supporting that,” he said voting on Campbell River’s tax rate bylaw. “Minus five, minus five, minus five

would have been much more appropriate.”

On John Twigg’s Talk About show on Shaw, Jakeway said he would form a group to look at cuts to city staff if he’s re-elected.

CITY

City looking at seniors centre in downtownNEIL CAMERON COURIER-ISLANDER

Campbell River city council has instructed staff to look into build-ing a seniors centre as part of or beside the Community Centre.

Councillor Larry Samson made the motion, saying the current treatment of the Campbell River seniors group was unsustainable. The group, formed six years ago, has been bounced around from venue to venue and currently share time at the Community Centre.

“While we’ve worked hard over the past couple of years, what we have now is not sustainable for our seniors and the community centre is something we would have to closely look at,” said Samson. “I think it’s a natural fit,

it’s where we have over 50 senior programs currently being active, it’s the centre of our transfer sta-tion, parking can be addressed by city owned property across Cedar Street, so I think it’s something very crucial and something we should definitely look at.”

There were objections from Councillors Andy Adams and Ron Kerr, not about providing a seniors centre, but about narrowing the scope of the search.

“I think we’re all on the same page in wanting to have a stand alone seniors centre in the downtown core,” said Adams. “I wouldn’t want to restrict this to what that may look like or how we get there. I appreciate what Councillor Samson is thinking, taking a long-range plan and mak-

ing it a mid- range plan or as I know some individuals would like it, an immediate short term plan. I would like staff to have more flexibility to look at all options that may be available. We’ve talked about integration with a potential new library, that there may be some P3 or — some people don’t like P3 — partnerships with a developer in building amenity provisions to provide room for a seniors centre.”

Samson showed signs of impa-tience in his reply.

“That’s what we’ve been doing for the last two years and we’ve gone nowhere,” he said. “So now I’m saying it’s time that we look at something that is concrete, we own the property, it fits with our Community Centre. Let’s get on

with it. Let’s not keep on looking for something down the road.”

Kerr wanted the motion amend-ed to include the possibility of a seniors centre on city property across Cedar Street from the Com-munity Centre but that motion was turned down.

Councillor Claire Moglove weighed in, saying a seniors centre was much more than just a seniors centre.

“I think that having a seniors centre or expanded space in the Community Centre for seniors is the absolute number one concept,” she said. “And I say that because one of the things they talked about in a workshop I attended on healthy communities, What Makes A Healthy Community, is not just hospitals, not just doctors,

not just clinics.“What makes a healthy commun-

ity is where everyone has a way to become healthy and the inter-generational connection between seniors and young people is part of what makes a healthy community. So having the seniors at the Com-munity Centre is hugely important and much preferable in my opinion than having a stand alone build-ing. Now this report that Council-lor Samson has requested would not take a long time to put togeth-er. All we need to know is whether it’s feasible to add to the Commun-ity Centre, if so how much will it cost and if that is feasible and if it turns out that it’s not feasible for whatever reason we can look at other options.”

Medical pot plant could reduce taxesCOURIER-ISLANDER

One of the biggest risks a medical mari-juana operation would pose to Campbell River is reduced taxes.

In a report to council Tuesday Ross Black-well, Manager of Land Use Services, said a medical marijuana operation could locate on land that had a higher tax value if it was used for other business or industrial uses.

His report said the medical marijuana operation might have to be taxed as a ‘farm’

operation and thus bring in less money for taxation.

Blackwell said the city has received no inquiries about such an operation and that since so few licences would be granted by the federal government there was no immediate concern. Blackwell’s report made no mention of a possible pipeline being constructed from Quadra and Cortes islands to Campbell River to help move product from those locations.

Continued from page 1.“Those who have heart

attacks and strokes in bed at night and die probably have sleep apnea. Car acci-

dents are often caused by the driver falling asleep because they have sleep apnea.”

The condition causes

memory loss, diabetes, depression, migraines, stroke and heart attacks. Jakeway was prescribed a CPAP machine and it changed his life.

“I noticed the difference right away,” he said. “All of a sudden I could sleep. I put on what I like to call my “fighter jet gear” and the machine records my pulse, my respirations and I can monitor that and adjust air flow accord-ingly. You wake up in the morning rested and full of oxygen, ready to go.”

Jakeway’s fighter jet gear comes from his CPAP machine, (pronounced “SEE-pap”). It’s an acro-nym for “Continuous Posi-tive Airway Pressure.”

It provides pressurized air to the nose, which inflates the airway, keep-ing it continuously open. The end result is unob-structed breathing, which in turn eliminates sleep apnea and as an added bonus eliminates snoring. You can also spend the night looking like Tom Cruise from Top Gun.

Although not a snorer (some sleep apnea patients both snore and stop breathing) Jakeway said he would not have known about his condition if his wife had not noticed he

wasn’t breathing. “I was in pretty bad

shape at that time,” said Jakeway. “I went from asking how come I can’t do anything to feeling amazing, active, happy and refreshed. There is a better life. It’s called breathing.”

Business man Mark Sullivan’s sleep apnea includes snoring and he stops breathing more than 30 times an hour.

“My wife used to nudge me to get me to breath again,” said Sullivan. “The strain on my heart may have been fatal over time but the ribs survived the elbowing. Sounds serious, is serious.

“How often in the med-ical world are you offered such a benign, simple, and easy to use solution to a serious condition that remove all of the threats associated with sleep

apnea. The machine is small, quiet, completely portable and easy to use. I have no symptoms of sleep apnea and no longer snore. I am happy, my wife is happy, I suspect the cat is somewhat pleased.”

He said there are some minor drawbacks.

“Talking to my wife while connected to the air hose is not recommended, it becomes Cousteau doing a takeoff on Donald Duck. I have been using the machine for more than four years, I sleep well and require no additional treatments, medications, potions or rib pokings. If you snore, get your doctor to investigate. If it turns out to be severe sleep apnea you my friend are about to benefit from one of medical sciences little miracles.”

Abrams looks at legal fi ghtSIAN THOMSON COURIER-ISLANDER

Jim Abram of Quadra Island is taking the fight for the ferries to a lawyer.

“I began looking into legal rem-edies for the ferry situation,” said Abram, a Director on the Strath-cona Regional District. “I contact-ed top lawyers across the country to see if they are interested. In the mean time, it would be really nice to speak with some local lawyers about development of our case. It is time.”

Abrams has been compiling, over the last month, all the issues that people have brought to him from all over the province.

“Not just here but everywhere,” he said. “It occurred to me that there may be something action-able here so I started beating the bushes for lawyers who might take this on and give me an opinion.

“Many said no because, of course, they didn’t want to touch it, they knew there was no money in it, but I convinced about a dozen lawyers I know to sit down together as a group, go over the issues and see if they are actionable.”

“Working people should not be losing their jobs over this.”

Walk with your Docschedule for C.R.COURIER-ISLANDER

“Walk With Your Doc” is coming to Campbell River May 7 at 11 a.m.

Physicians, staff, residents, family and friends will be walking with Yucalta Lodge Medical Director, Dr. Kathleen McFadden. Joanne Amberson, Activities Manager from the Yucalta Recreation Depart-ment, has a sign-up sheet in place at the front door.

Many residents will need to be accompanied by family or volunteer and 22 students from Campbell River Chris-tian School volunteered to support residents for this event.

“Walk with your Doc” is an initiative by the Doctors of B.C. celebrating the World Health Organization’s Move

for Health Day. Doctors across the province are hosting free walking events for their patients and the public from May 3 to 11.

Walking can help with weight loss, increases energy, quality of sleep, and lowers stress.

All of the residents of Yuca-lta have significant health challenges and this walk will also be a show of support for them as they courageously battle a variety of diseases, sometimes including loneli-ness, say the organizers.

Here are dates for similar walks in Campbell River.

• Alder Medical — May 7 at 12:30 p.m.

• Willow Point Medical — May 8 at 12:20 p.m.

• The Bridge Medical — May 8 at 1 p.m.

Walk With Your Doc organizers and participants are from left, Georgia Munroe, Volunteer and President of Yucalta Auxiliary, Al Thew, resident, Tania Macdonald, Activities Assistant, Dr. Jennifer Kask, Family Practitioner, and Carmen Christiansen, Manager, Volunteer Resources.

Don’t blameB.C. aquaculture

Ray Grigg’s article of April 22 appears to be an attempt to blame salmon farming in B.C. for the collapse of fisheries in Sen-egal. In 2008, we were contracted by the World Bank to conduct an investigation into the collapse of the artisan fisheries in Senegal. We plied the waters of Dakar and conducted many environmental assessment dives to try to answer why the fisheries have been on a downward trend. Grigg is par-tially correct in that, yes, foreign fishing fleets and rogue pirate fleets are raping the formerly rich fishing grounds off Senegal. What these fleets are doing is criminal but the Senegalese gov-ernment doesn’t have the power to stop them.

We observed these vessels tak-ing all their nets could handle, sorting out the prized species and shoveling all the (now dead) by-catch back into the ocean. That was back in 2008. If they are now keeping that by-catch to turn into fish meal for salmon farms, it is a far better practice than the dumping of the by-catch they were doing.

However, there are a number of other reasons for the decline in fish stock in Senegal includ-ing oil refinery pollution and a mis-guided attempt to create arti-ficial reefs for the local fisheries by sinking hundreds of aban-doned ships in the local waters. Unfortunately, these artificial

reefs worked too well attracting fish and artisan fishers. The local fishers have snagged their nets on these sunken ships, then aban-don them to the bottom where they continue fishing as ghost nets, attracting in and then suf-focating any fish stock. In addi-tion, the Senegalese government is weak kneed on enforcement of marine protected areas (MPAs), allowing the artisan fishers to clean out the oceans nursery.

While I agree with Grigg that the human species is making an absolute mess of ocean fisheries, his point that B.C. aquaculture is to blame is simply wrong. BC has a sustainable salmon farm-ing industry that satisfies the market for fish and takes pres-sure off of the wild stock. I dived around and under B.C. salmon farms and have witnessed the excellent health and well being of the local environment and the

marked improvement from the bad ol’ days of salmon farming in the 80s.

We should be focusing our environmental efforts towards the obscene practices of drag-ging, shark finning and over-fish-ing. B.C. aquaculture is a cure, not a problem.

The social gesture that would be big business Perhaps the somewhat drawn

out approach to a seniors facility needs a re-focusing. And perhaps some city councillors came close to doing just that at Tuesday’s council meeting.

Councillor Larry Samson made the motion that staff look into creating a seniors centre addi-tion to the Community Centre or as a separate building beside the Community Centre.

Council eventually agreed, although some wanted the scope of the search to include other areas of the downtown.

If the city were to think of the seniors centre as a business opportunity instead of a simple social commitment, they might be building on to or near the

Community Centre by now.The local seniors group has

been bouncing back and forth from various locations for two years. The 500-plus strong group is one big pile of grey money. With a new centre, those num-bers would grow.

By locating them right in the downtown core several things will happen, not the least of which will be local businesses will no doubt get some of that grey matter passed around.

The focal transfer station for our transit also happens to be at the Community Centre so usage would probably go up.

And, while the city has tried to accommodate the group as best they can in temporary digs in the

community centre, the parks and recreation department had to increase their budget for 2014 by $60,000 to help cover the needed services associated with the plan.

And even now over 50 seniors- related programs are run out of the Community Centre as it is.

This group needs a home. This business needs developing.

And then there is another benefit that Councillor Claire Moglove pointed out. During a recent conference she said she attended a seminar on healthy communities. She said the health of a community isn’t just about doctors and hospitals. She said she learned the more intergener-ational contact there is between seniors and young people, the

healthier the community is and the less burden there is to the health system.

If a seniors centre was indeed located elsewhere, out of the mainstream of our downtown, that aspect, and certainly the financial benefits, would be lost for the most part. The city is also playing with a good hand. Because if they do build on or near the Community Centre, they have land across the street they can utilize for the parking that may be lost.

Councillor Samson was right when he said the city has gone nowhere on the issue in two years and now “it is time for something concrete.” Or made thereof.

Roses&ThornsEmail your submissions to [email protected]

A city full of roses to the Parent Advisory Counsel of Southgate Middle School. We are so grateful for your donation to Mrs. Sawyer and Mrs. Stewart’s year-end class field trip. Your donation made the cost per student more effi-cient and affordable. The P.A.C. has always been very generous to the school such as planning big events and contributing when the school needs help.

Many thanks from Mrs. Saw-yer’s and Mrs. Stewart’s classes. You Rock!!!

A school gym full of roses to all of the individuals and local businesses that helped to make Discovery Passage Elementary School’s Annual Easter Lunch-eon for students and special guests a huge success this year.

Thank you to the staff and stu-dents for preparing the delicious food and making our gym look festive for the occasion.

Many thanks to Claire Met-calfe, Ashley Belanko, Kristiana McQuarrie, Clint Perry, Ryan Aho, Melissa Plamondon and Kelly McCay for your help with preparations and serving, and for cooking the turkeys; to Kristiana McQuarrie for her invaluable help in organizing and picking up donations; and to Kelly Gage for washing the tablecloths after it was all over.

Thanks also to the Store Man-agers of Quality Foods and Save On Foods for their gener-ous donations of turkeys and potatoes. And a special thank you to Fusilli Grill, for loaning us chafing dishes, and making delicious mashed potatoes for the luncheon. Over 90 students, staff and invited guests from our school district shared an incred-ible meal together in the spirit of community and thankfulness.

A ball bag of thorns to the person who stole my phone (LG Android with Black otter case) from my ball bag, when we were playing ball at Georgia Park Ele-mentary Friday night. Hoping you read this and do the right thing and return it to Rogers no questions asked, so that I can get it back with all my photos, videos, etc. of my two boys. But I am assuming, by the fact that you went into my bag and took it and have been using it to surf the web, that you are probably not the type of person to do the right thing. Your parent’s must be very proud of you is all I can say. If you do happen to read this, I have left a reward at Rogers for the return of the phone and am hoping that because it is of no use to you, because it has been shut down, you will please do the right thing.

It seems to me that one of the easiest solutions to the problem of cats versus birds would be to “put a bell on it.” We have owned a lot of cats through the years and they were always outside cats. Yes, they did try to get a bird, but without suc-cess, as soon as the bird heard the bell, they were gone. Just a suggestion.

A big bunch of red, fragrant roses to “Unimpressed” who wrote to “roses and thorns” last Friday and a bag full of thorns to the housekeeper who was yelling at her fellow employee. I should have written this letter months ago but better late than never. A huge thank you to the person who wrote that letter about bully-ing, especially in the workplace where signs are posted in several places regarding such. It was very

motivating and I have personally witnessed two such incidents of verbal bullying involving the same person. There are several professional staff members try-ing to provide a happy, friendly and safe environment and I agree with “Unimpressed”. You should be shown the door, pink slip in hand, for your disrespects and disregard for the patients and staff members.

Disgusted

Here’s a big bunch of roses for the staff and management of the Quinsam Hatchery in Campbell River. The recent story of the pink record numbers and the work they do with other salmon and trout should be commended. I remember reading somewhere that if it wasn’t for the hatchery, our original stock of chinook salmon would have perished. Well for the past couple of decades they have helped sustain both the Campbell and Quinsam River systems. It’s not good news when you need a hatchery, but it’s cer-tainly good news when you have a bunch of dedicated, caring people like we have in Campbell River.

For eight years Abby Johnson worked for Pro-Choice organization,and fought for ‘women’s rights’ re-garding abortion. She had worked her way up the professional ladder and eventually held a top ranking position, as the clinic director of the

organization. “I was willing to die for abortion rights when I was pro-choice,” Abby said. As the years went on, Abby became in-creasingly disturbed as she became familiar with the politics around the industry, and realized abortion was a ‘product’ of Pro-Choice,not an “unfortunate necessity that they were fighting to decrease.”

The Truth Shall Set Us Free…....From the Deception of Abortion

Abby Johnson Speaks OutOn Sept 26th 2009, Abby’s world came to a ‘crash’ so to speak, after she was asked to assist an ultra-sound guided abortion. “She watched in horror as a 13 week baby fought, and ultimately lost, its life at the hand of the abortionist. At that moment, the full realization of what abortion was and what she had dedicated her life to washed over Abby and a dramatic transfor-mation took place. Desperate and confused, Abby sought help from a local pro-life group. She swore that she would begin to advocate for life in the womb and expose abortion for what it truly is.”

Former Abortion Practitioners Speak“Lured by the substantial income and driven by the subcon-scious desire to justify my own abortion decision, I spent 6 years selling abortions... After 35,000 abortions, the death of one woman and surgery on 19 other patients, God brought me to a crossroads. My life changed when I came to know the love and saving grace of Jesus Christ. I realized that my work was hurt-ing women, not helping them.”

“There is no difference between a first trimester abortion, a second trimester abortion, a third trimes-ter abortion, or infanticide. It’s all the same human being at different stages of development….I finally got to the point where I couldn’t look at those little bodies anymore.”

The 17th Annual National March for Life will be held in Ottawa, Victoria AND CAMPBELL RIVER on Thursday, May 8th at 1pm

This year’s theme is RU-4LIFE? in response to an application currently under review by Health Canada to bring the abortion drug RU-486 into Canada. For info on the Victoria March, visit http://www.m4lvictoria.ca/. Many of us who believe in life from conception to death are unable to attend a March in Ottawa or Victoria…

so in Campbell River, we will also gather at 1pm on the steps of St. Patrick’s Church at 34 S Alder St. Please join us. The walk will take place rain or shine, so please come prepared for the weather.

6th woman’s riding experience on SundayCOURIER-ISLANDER

The Sixth Annual “A Woman’s Experience” of Riding and the 12th Annual Campbell River Motorcycle Swap Meet is being held Sun-day, May 4, at the Eagles Hall from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Women who are interested in riding motorcycles either on the front seat or on the back are invited to attend.

There will be four work-shops: inside the hall at 10:30 a.m. – Beginner Riding & Safe-ty with retired RCMP Senior Police Motorcycle Instructor Dave Hay, who teaches begin-ner and advanced motorcycle

courses on Vancouver Island. This workshop will give you safe riding tips for the new rider to help you be as safe as possible as you learn to ride “beyond the parking lot.”

Hay will also do a Biker Boot Camp workshop at noon inside the hall which will pro-vide information on the basics before you get too much time in the saddle this season.

At 11 a.m. and 12:30 p.m., outside, Andrew Ringdahl, Sales Manager at Boatland/Suzuki Motorcycles in Camp-bell River, will be doing Basic Motorcycle Maintenance. Also, outside at 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. Brian Hicks, long

time motorcycle rider, will do a workshop to show you How To Pick up Your Motorcycle should you drop it.

The first 20 women through the door will receive a goodie bag. There will be door prizes from Milwaukee Twin, Merle Norman, V.I. Fitness, Charmed: Scarves & Accessor-ies, Fuel Custom Cycles, Top Drawer Romance Boutique, Amy Louise Henna Designs, Britches & Hose Vintage Clothing & Shadoe Intimates all from Campbell River, plus Ride Free Motogear from Coquitlam, V. I. Honda in Nanaimo & Steve Drane Har-ley-Davidson from Victoria,

and more.There is still time to book

a table if you have swap meet stuff geared toward the woman rider (clothing, bike parts/accessories, jewellery. etc) or if you have a business and want to display and sell product to and for the woman rider (bandanas, jewellery, helmets, riding gear, leathers, etc). Please contact Marne Svennes at 250-902-2228 or 250-902-7911 or by email at [email protected]. .

This year a portion of the proceeds from “A Woman’s Experience” of Riding will be donated to The Campbell River Women’s Centre.

Are you getting tired of cutting the grass and shoveling snow? Are you uncomfortable lugging laundry baskets and groceries up and down stairs? Perhaps the thought of moving sounds good, but the thought of selling your home and moving to a smaller place overwhelms you. If so, you are not alone!

Making the decision to move to a smaller place is extremely difficult for many older adults. If you’ve lived in your home for several decades, then leav-ing it may feel like an enormous loss. If your chil-dren have moved on, it may feel like your house is

all you have left. You may think that your house keeps you con-nected to those happy mem-ories of years past. But none of that matters

if your house is no longer safe for you. It is estimated that it takes a minimum of 80

hours to completely sort and pack an average home. This is an enormous task.

It will be easier if you break the tasks of down-sizing into small segments, which may begin with 15 minute sessions a couple of times throughout the day. The key is to take small steps, one drawer at a time, one box at a time. Share with your fam-ily and friends cherished items and heirlooms and take comfort in knowing that these possessions will be appreciated.

If the prospect of tackling this on your own is just too much, you can hire a relocation company.

When it comes to hiring a relocation specialist or moving yourself, deciding which is better is different for everyone. Usually the first factor is cost. But you must also factor in your time, the difficulty or complexity of the move, your ability, the distance, and who you have in your life to help you.

Is time an issue? Do you have people in your life to help you? Can you organize all the pack-ing materials, utility transfer, moving truck? The headaches of packing and moving everything yourself can be hugely reduced by hiring a reloca-tion service.

Anne Delaney is a Certified Relocation and Transition Specialist and a Certified Professional Consultant on Aging and has the training and knowledge to help you through every step of your move.

Another sell out means Shellfi sh Festivalwill move to Filberg Heritage LodgeCOURIER-ISLANDER

On the heels of another sell out of the B.C. Chefs Gala Dinner, the Marina Park Shellfish Festival event is on the move after seven years in the park.

The B.C. Shellfish Growers Association, Comox Business in Action (BIA) and Comox Valley Economic Develop-ment and Tourism are pleased to announce the launch of the Comox by the Sea Shellfish and Seafood Celebration, to be held June 21, at the stun-ning Filberg Heritage Lodge and Park oceanside grounds.

“The core crowd-pleasing features found annually in Marina Park, including the shellfish producer tasting booths, chef-led cooking demonstrations, and com-petitions including the Best Chowder Contest and the Oyster Shucking Champion-ship will still be included as fan favorites at this event,” said Roberta Stevenson, BC Shellfish Growers Association Executive Director. “For 2014 the expanded event will also

include seafood producers, demonstrating the depth of the aquaculture industry in BC.”

Salish Seafoods, Macs Oysters, Fanny Bay Oysters, Island Scallops and Greigs Seafood, are just some of the award winning producers who will be on hand presenting their products for attendees to taste. Add to this, unique interactive and informa-tive displays including the opportunity to climb aboard a Department of Fisheries and Oceans boat, and other aqua-culture educational displays, the event will provide insights into the science and import-ance of the aquaculture industry from a wide range of

businesses, educational insti-tutions and suppliers.

“The Comox BIA saw this event as a key one to partner in,” said Edd Moyes, Chair of the Comox BIA Marketing Committee, one of the major sponsors, “The aquaculture industry is critical to the Comox Valley, and downtown Comox and the harbour is the industry, visitors and residents gateway to the sea. It was logical that we get involved to expand this event.”

Nathan Fong, currently celebrating his 24th year on Global BCTV News with his “Saturday Chefs”, is an award-winning food stylist, an accomplished food and

travel journalist, and founder of Fong on Food; Fong is con-firmed to head-up the chef line-up this year, and will be on hand with other renowned chefs including Quang Dang, West Restaurant and Aaron Rail, Executive Chef in the Comox Valley.

The event will raise funds for the exciting, new training initiative called the Aquacul-ture Technician Program, at North Island College, which supports a holistic approach to aquaculture training; from species to systems.

With shellfish and seafood tastings presented by top-notch producers, renowned chef cooking demos, inter-active displays, plus a beer garden, live music and ocean themed kids activities, the event promises to celebrate the touch, tastes, and sounds of BC’s best shellfish and sea-food products. Entry tickets are $15, with tasting booth ticket available online and at the event.

Kids 10 and under are free! Go to bcshellfishfestival.com for more details.

Campbellton community members came out recently in large numbers to attend the area’s fi rst dinner carbaret event.

The evening was a great opportunity for local business people and residents to celebrate the work of the Campbellton Neighbourhood Association (CNA). A superb buff et dinner was prepared by the Eagles Women’s Auxiliary and entertainment was presented by Lisa’s Lounge Lizards. Due to the generosity of donors the silent and live auctions added to the fund raising eff orts which netted over $5,000. These funds will be vital to the CNA’s

plan to seek matching dollars from local and provincial foundations as well as government sources. Financial success will result in development opportunities for beautifi cation of Campbellton roadways, trails, gardens, banners, river accesses, artistic displays and mapping.

The Campbellton Action Plan has just been submitted to the CNA by the Vancouver Island University (VIU) geography students. The CNA has been actively working for the past three years to create positive change in the

neighbourhood. The members have compiled an impressive amount of background and inventory information on both the physical aspects of the area and on the community desire for change. The CNA, through city services, enlisted the assistance of two classes of urban planners/geography students to turn this information into an Action Plan. To view the 70 page document please contact CNA chair, Brian Shaw at 287-8807.

Deciding what are and are not core services is not an easy guess for any municipality, and Campbell River’s diversity

makes it even harder.For example, in a marine com-

munity like Campbell River, pro-viding recreational and tourist amenities like boat ramps and access to the ocean are seen by

most as “core,” but in an interior agricultural and rural commun-ity, functions like noxious weed control and mosquito control may be considered essential.

One of the suggestions of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business in its Beggar’s Check List is that local governments re-focus on activ-ities that relate to ‘core’ services and, in theory, restraining the number of services provided would help keep costs as low as possible for taxpayers.

“As a City Manager, one of my primary duties is to work with council to determine key prior-ities, and keep services focused to best match community expectations,” says Andy Laid-law. “The big challenge for any community is deciding which functions are core, and which functions are expendable. There is no magic formula for this as all communities are different.”

And while the communities themselves are different in many ways, priorities and values within a community can also vary among residents.

“While one person may con-sider sports facilities as a ‘core’ service another may think cultural facilities are far more important,” said Laidlaw. “Other people may think both sports and cultural facilities are prior-ities. And others may think nei-ther warrant public funding.”

In a municipality it is the local-ly elected officials who decide what services are considered to be core and therefore, which services local taxpayers should pay for.

In Campbell River, council has considered “what’s core?” as part of a review and affirmation of core budgets for the last two years, said Laidlaw.

“For council’s decisions to be sustainable over the long-term, those decisions must be sup-ported generally by the com-munity as a whole and reflect the views of the majority,” Laid-law explains. “I believe we have seen a shift over time in terms

of which services are considered by citizens to be ‘core’ municipal functions.”

Service like police and fire protection, roads, sewer, water, garbage and parks have long been considered “core” local government functions. But times progress and things some-times change.

“More recently, many munici-palities provide other services such as economic development, recreation, tourism, commun-ity planning and support for the hungry and homeless,” said Laidlaw. “These functions have evolved out of a general need expressed by the citizens and interpreted by council. Some-times, like in the case of support for the homeless and hungry, these services have evolved because of the belief that other levels of government are not doing enough.”

Once a community has decid-ed which local government func-tions are essential, then come decisions about level of service, and corresponding funding. These can be very tough choices for a council.

For example, fire and rescue services can be provided rela-tively inexpensively through on-call staff or at higher cost through full-time profession-als. A different level of service is provided depending on the option selected. This will reflect the needs of the community and its financial capacity.

“In Campbell River, fire and rescue services are provided by a mix of paid on-call and full-time professionals, reflecting Camp-bell River’s needs and resources. Similar difficult choices exist for virtually every service under-taken by a community,” Laidlaw says.

“In the end it is up to the cit-izens to decide which services they consider ‘core’ and the level of these services that should be provided — because it is the cit-izens who elect the council that makes these choices,” he said.

other’s Day is a time to celebrate the goodness of

motherhood. It is our opportunity to say “thank you” to the one who nursed our pains and cheered our gains. It should be a time to honour them, not just on one special day, but every day - with more than words, by also showing them respect, thoughtfulness, care and loving deeds.

God has conferred on motherhood true nobility. Abraham Lincoln said, “God Bless my mother; . . . all I am I owe to her.” In the Bible, in the book of Proverbs 31, a high

value is placed on a woman with wisdom, kindness, and respect for the Lord. For a mother to have those qualities is important, as illustrated in the story of Mary and Martha, where Mary sat “at Jesus’ feet” - choosing to stop and spend time with God. In this way mothers can not only care for their children physically, but also nurture them spiritually.

My encouragement and challenge is that you take time to honour your mother and remember her in some special way. If you are living at home, make a habit of giving daily praise. If your mother is further away, make frequent

phone calls and visits. If she has passed away, remember to speak well of her. Express your love and appreciation often. After all, she has done so much for you in the past; it is now time to meet Mother’s needs.

“This is a time to honour Mother for being a guiding light, a calming sight, and a warrior for right” (Our Daily Bread, May 1998).

God Bless and give special favour to all Moms this Mother’s Day!

When former Timberline grad Allie Guenther focuses in on a sport you know it’s going to get 100 per cent of her time, con-siderable energy and love.

Her first love was gymnastics which she started at the tender age of five and by the time she was a ‘veteran’ at the age of nine she was training 20 hours a week. Looking for a new chal-lenge Allie then went from the gymnastics floor to the ice tak-ing up figure skating which she quickly fell in love with.

Once again the talented Guen-ther showed her natural athletic ability, skating at the provincial level as a member of the BC/Yukon Provincial Development Team for a couple years. But her skating enthusiasm waned after suffering a minor concussion when she was 15.

Fast forward to her days at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon where she played intramural sports and in what, as it turned out to be a fortuitous event in her life, her dad, local school teacher Ralph Guenther, bought his daughter a road bike.

“I just darn loved riding my bike,” said Allie, 25. “While living in Saskatoon I cruised through swarms of grasshoppers, long open roads, huge skies, and loaded up my bike with frozen fingers in -40 C weather to drive to workouts as a wanna-be with a local cycling club.”

Allie graduated from university and then moved to Victoria, with her bike in tow, to take up a job as a Public Health Nurse.

“I discovered rowing a year after finishing school,” said Allie. “Again, I fell head over heels for the sport, from zero to 100 faster than anyone in my fam-ily could figure out what I was doing. I focused my time and energy on developing myself as a lightweight rower and thought that I may have found the sport where I would realize my child-

hood dream to compete in the Olympics.

“In the first six months I started rowing I went from cas-ual gym-goer and recreational runner (and still wanna-be road biker), to a hard-core rower, waking up at 4:45 a.m. to row in the dark in the middle of winter in order to try and keep up to the rowers who actually knew what they were doing. But boy did I love that challenge.”

Allie once again showed her commitment and focus hitting the water training for rowing six days a week. But in the back of her mind there remained that love of cycling.

“I picked up rowing rather ser-iously but decided to take some time off the water and just keep fit on the spin bike when rowing

wasn’t agreeing with my body,” said Allie. “After two months of long hours spent on the spin bike, I decided to take a Learn to Race clinic and immediately knew I had found my sport.”

In cycling, this time, Allie found ‘true love’.

In just two short years her rise provincially in road and track cycling has been phenomenal. Last August Allie claimed three Provincial championship jerseys on the track.

While Allie enjoys road cycling, her focus has been on track (on the velodrome). She has got-ten so good with her sprinting talents, Allie caught the eye of Cycling Canada so much so that she has been invited to their National Team Assessment Camp in Los Angeles, from May

4-12.“I am very excited to have

received an invite from Cycling Canada’s national team sprint coach to attend the camp,” said Allie. “Based on some testing and assessments I did in March, I have been identified as hav-ing potential as a track sprinter and the camp will be focused on sprinting.”

Since last October Allie began training with her current coach through the Canadian Sport Institute’s Cycling Talent Development Program in Vic-toria.

“Shortly after, I was selected as a member of the Accent Inns Russ Hay’s Cycling Team for the 2014 race season which is the team I race with on the road and track,” said Allie. “I did my

first race of 2014 a few weeks ago in Pitt Meadows and placed second.”

Allie said a typical training week for her includes one day of rest or active recovery, two ses-sions in the gym lifting weights, one to two hard interval sessions on the bike, and two to three endurance rides.

“Now that the velodrome has opened up for the season, I will be spending four training ses-sions a week on the track. A good week of training is 15-20 hours a week,” said Allie. “On top of this I am working about 20 hours a week to try and keep up with the expenses of this sport!

“This year I will be focusing on a good result at the Canadian National Track Championships in Milton, Ontario in October. My goals are to represent Canada on the track at World Cups, the World Championships and ultim-ately, at the Olympics in Rio in 2016.”

Peonies are probably the most sentimental of all plants. So frequently we hear wonderful stor-ies of relatives or friends that are brought to mind simply with the thought of peonies. Perhaps that is one of the reasons they are often chosen for bridal bouquets. When I was a child, I mistook my mother’s peonies for roses. I remember so clearly those perfectly round pink buds that I now know so well as peonies.

Peonies bloom from late spring to early summer. They come in a large range of colours including many pink shades as well as red, fuchsia, yellow and white. They also range in form; from fully double bomb types to the delicately sim-ple singles and many interesting forms in between. There are Garden Peonies, Tree peonies and the cross between the previ-ous two types called Itoh Peonies. The lacy foliage of peonies is also quite pretty, enhancing the garden throughout the summer, and finally turning shimmery plums shades in the fall. Peonies are very deer resistant which brings a smile to many a gardener’s face.

Peonies should be planted shallowly with the tuber slightly showing. If you bury them to deep they won’t bloom as

well. Choose a full sun location with deep rich well drained soil. Always plant with bone-meal or rock phosphate as the phosphorus builds the tuber below the soil level as well as encouraging many more blossoms for your plant. An annual spring fertilizing of 4-20-20, or rock phosphate and organic mix, is an excel-lent way to promote vigor and blooms from year to year. Spacing is also important as Peon-

ies don’t like competition for moisture or nutrients. Give each plant an area of at least two feet in diameter.

My sisters and I all love peonies and I always think of at least one of them when I plant or cut the flowers to enjoy indoors. I can’t help it. It is not something that I set out to do, it is simply that at some point during the choosing, planting or cutting our love of peonies comes to mind and they become a part my time in my garden.

I think it is wonderful, a bit of whimsy, to wander though a garden that brings those that are special to you close to heart. A little romantic, maybe, but I strongly recommend it.

Currently in the world of mountain biking, there are three different wheel sizes - 26”, 27.5” and 29”. Each

wheel size has its merits and each individual rider will see more bene-fit from one wheel size than another. Trying to sort which wheel size suits you can be confusing, so here are my two bits on the subject.

First off, it’s not hype and the marketing depart-ments in the bike industry did not come up with these wheel sizes. The benefits of the correct wheel size for your riding style or local terrain can be great. The wrong choice of wheel size can limit your ability or frustrate you, so it is important to get informed and get yourself on the correct bike for your needs.

One bike company out there, one of the biggest in the world in fact, is saying that the 27.5” wheel size is best for every rider and every trail, but consider-ing how many riders and how many different types of terrain there are around the globe, this statement just can’t be true.

So keep an open mind when you’re purchasing a bike and don’t be pushed into any one wheel size, ask lots of questions and make sure you end up on a bike that suits you, your riding style and the terrain in your local area. If your bike shop doesn’t have answers for you, then go somewhere that does.

This week’s Swicked Tip: So what wheel size suits you?

Here’s a very general guide:• 26” wheels - Smaller wheels are more nimble. They

are easier to throw around in tight technical terrain, or get airborne. Downhill bikes and dirt jump bikes, or an all mountain bike under a rider who likes the knarliest bits of trail, will generally have 26” wheels.

• 29” wheels- Bigger wheels will roll faster and smoother and will help the rider maintain momen-tum in rough terrain. Big wheels also suit bikes that will cross over from easy terrain to hard core moun-tain biking. Although 29’ers are great in technical terrain, they do require more rider input and are less nimble in the air. On fast flowy rides the 29’er is at its best.

• 27.5” wheels- This measurement is not perfectly accurate and this wheel size is closer to 26” that 29”. This gives you a bike that will roll slightly faster than a 26” wheel, but gives up very little of the handling characteristics of the smallest wheel. So if you have a lust for aggressive riding, but are looking for just a bit of rolling advantage, then the 27.5” wheels should be considered.

Upon hearing about the Powell River First Annual ‘Play Like a Girl’ Female Classic, the Camp-bell River Atom Hurricanes jumped at the opportunity to lace them up one more time to finish the season.

After a season lacking in opportunities to face other female teams due to the absence of an Atom division in the Van-couver Island Female Recrea-tional League, it was a timely and welcome way to cap off the year.

An cap it off they did with the Hurricanes players carrying collective championship smiles through the off-season after claiming the tourney title with a 5-1 victory over the Powell River Pitbulls White in the final.

“The Atom Hurricanes would like to thank all of their sup-porters throughout the com-munity, host teams in other communities, coaches, organiz-ers and parents for another fan-tastic season,” said Hurricanes manager Leanne Foster.

The Hurricanes opened the tournament on fire against the same Powell River Pitbulls white team they would eventu-ally meet in the final.

A great display of teamwork resulted in a final score of 12-1, with Kiera Arsenault scoring four times, Chloe Super added a pair, single tallies went to Aus-tin Cameron, Kessler Frazee, Cassidy Enns, Sasha Holbrook, Delaney Ewing and Morgan

Taylor. Hurricanes MVP of the game was awarded to Super and the Digger award to Taylor.

In their second game the Hurricanes faced their Island arch nemesis - the Oceanside Icebreakers. Once again the Hurricanes put a dozen in their opposition’s net in a 12-2 win. Enns and Arsenault had four goals each, rounding out the Campbell River scoring were Frazee, Taylor, Super and Cam-eron. MVP went to Enns, with the A/P player from the Novice Hurricanes, Kiana Danielson winning the Digger award.

In their final round robin game, the Hurricanes, backed by the shutout goaltending from Kambyl Frazee, skated to a 9-0 triumph over the Powell River Pitbulls Red team. Once again the Hurricanes used a balanced offensive attack with Arsenault notching a hat trick, Frazee netted a pair, Cameron, Super, Taylor and Kaelin Fos-ter each scored once. MVP of the game was awarded to Arsenault and the Digger to Holbrook.

The championship game the Hurricanes facing a very hungry Powell River Pitbulls white team, who came out blaz-ing. With the heat turned up, the Hurricanes followed their captain Arsenault’s lead who scored four of the five Campbell River goals. Assistant captain Super had the fifth Hurricanes marker. Hurricanes MVP of the final game went to Ewing and the Digger to Cameron.

Campbell River Atom Hurricanes captured the recent Powell River Play Like A Girl Tournament championship. Team members include, back left, coaches, Kristi Super, Tim Foster and Bruce Holbrook. Middle left, Sasha Holbrook, Morgan Taylor, Kaelin Foster, Cassidy Enns, Chloe Super, Delaney Ewing and Shea Watson.

Any attempt to do so could result in the leather being irreparably damaged. If you have leather that is soiled and maybe showing some cracks...clean with the above method and then come see us for a bit of LEXOL product. Your leather thanks you!

Getting Back into The Swing?As a chiropractor, I see many strains due to playing golf. Below are some tips that may

help you prevent some common golf injuries.

1. Stretch before and after you do any strengthening exercises. Here are some recommended stretches:Side bending works the muscles on the sides of your back and hips. Hip rotation stretches several muscles in your hip, pelvis and thigh region. The hamstring stretch works the large muscles at the back of your thighs. Back extension helps the muscles that bend your spine backward, while back rotation stretches the muscles that rotate your spine and shoulder muscles. The shoulder stretch works shoulders and upper arms.

2. Muscle-strengthening exercises can make your body stronger and more fl exible.Wrist strength is very important during the impact phase of a golf game. Strength in rotating the upper arms in either direction is important throughout the golf swing. To improve form and strength in your golf swing, practice good posture by concentrating on using your abdominal and back muscles. Rowing strengthens the muscles of your upper back and shoulders. Pull-downs also work the shoulder and upper-back muscles.

3. When taking clubs out of your vehicle, bend your knees, slightly curve your spine, and gently lift the golf bag out of the vehicle.

4. ‘The clubs before the cart’ – Research shows that after one season of weekly golf games that involved walking the golf course, males over fi fty signifi cantly decreased their cholesterol count. [Source: October 1990 issue of The Physician and Sportsmedicine]

5. Warm up for your fi rst swing. Make sure you stretch.6. Bend your knees and use a golf club for support before stooping for the ball, or when

preparing to tee off.7. Ensure that you use correct posture and spinal angles when driving and putting.8. Stretch to cool down after your game.

I NEED HEARING AIDS. WHAT SHOULD I KNOW ABOUT THEM?

Campbell River • 202-909 Island Hwy. • 250-286-1146www.connecthearing.ca

You should know that hearing aids each contain a computer chip which does complex sound processing at extremely fast rates and with great precision. All hearing aids are designed to amplify using a microphone to gather sound, an amplifi er to increase the sound and a receiver to deliver the sound to the ear. Each hearing aid can be programmed to the specifi c needs of the hearing impaired person and can be adjusted by the wearer if desired. Hearing aids come in different styles and price ranges with repair warranties and loss and damage insurance. When I have defi ned your hearing loss, I will help you choose an appropriate hearing aid style and technology level in a price range you can afford. It does take time for the brain to adjust to hearing aids and you must expect several weeks of acclimatization. I will coach you and answer questionswhich will result from you experiencing a new world of sound. I recommend that all adults fi fty years and older should have a baseline hearing test performed. Call us at Connect Hearing for a complimentary hearing test.

Behind every work zone cone is a worker in a vulnerable position. Each cone stands for someone’s father, mother, son, or daughter. That’s why it’s important to know that thousands of people working by the roadside in B.C. are counting on you to slow down and drive with care when approaching a “Cone Zone.“

RECREATION

COURIER-ISLANDER

The buzz has already started, and it’s time to sign up for the start of the third season of the adult kickball league.

Last year, six teams participat-ed for the coveted championship, with the ‘Where’s my Pitches At’ winning in an epic final game. The City of Campbell River Rec-reation Department anticipates the popularity of last season will help the league grow to eight or more teams this year.

The season begins on Thurs-day, May 8, with games running until the end of June. Games are held in the evenings between 7

and 9 p.m. at Ecole des Deux Mondes (EDM) school.

“A combination of baseball, soccer and dodge ball, this fun kickball league is for adults looking to get some exercise, increase their reac-tion time and meet other people who enjoy having a ball thrown at them,” says recreation programmer Karen Chappell. “The sport is growing in popularity across North America as it provides an alternative to conventional

sports and brings out the child in everyone.”

Also known as California kickball, the game is played on a baseball diamond, with the same field setup. Players kick a rub-ber ball that

is pitched, instead of hitting a baseball with a bat. Once the ball is kicked, players run the bases while the other team throws the ball to get the runner out. Just

like baseball, the bases are safe, and if the ball is caught before it touches the ground that player is out.

Register as a single player or as a teams of eight (or more) by calling or stopping into the Sportsplex.

Teams that need more players are encouraged to contact the league coordinator Karen Chap-pell at the Sportsplex to possibly arrange having some single play-ers join your team.

For more information and rules of play for this rec league, please call the Sportsplex at 250-923-7911 or the Community Centre at 250-286-1161.
