NEIL CAMERON COURIER-ISLANDER

Management, staff and city coun-cil were on hand for a happy re-open-ing of the Coast Discovery Inn in downtown Campbell River Monday.

The 80-plus room hotel had closed March 7 after a labour dispute. On Monday there were smiles, jokes and laughter all around as the boards on the front of the building were taken down.

And on Friday, from 1-4 p.m., the hotel will hold a job fair for new hires to join existing staff.

“I’m so glad this is happening,” said Mayor Walter Jakeway as he helped General Manager/Owner Sukhy Bains take down the last sheet of plywood. “Being closed, it was like a black hole in our downtown.

“And it was sort of sending a mixed message. Here we’re building a new hotel and not very far away another one had closed.”

Bains said he is glad the ordeal is over and that he and his staff can get back to business as the tourism season heats up.

Husband of New Horizons’ patientsays facility being run in ‘chaos’SIAN THOMSON COURIER-ISLANDER

The husband of a patient at New Horizons Seniors Care Home says that due to a

lack of integrity and corporate greed, his wife and other resi-dents are paying the price.

Ralph Terreberry’s wife has been living on the second floor of New Horizons for the past five years.

“She and all of the 34 residents on the second floor have been subject to a serious loss of care,” said Terreberry in a letter to the Çourier-Islander. “Some of them having no breakfast and all of them losing care for rising, toileting, cleaning, dressing, and getting them to the dining room for breakfast and potential ser-ious results if there had been an emergency.”

Terreberry knows that five care aides are required for the safety and comfort of the residents on the second floor.

“There were only two care aids at work to provide care for 34 resi-dents living on the 2nd floor,” he said. “I heard that the same short-age of care aides existed on the third floor also.”

Terreberry arrived at 9 a.m. on

Sunday to visit his wife who nor-mally would be seated in the din-ing room by that time.

“My wife was still in bed,” said Terreberry. “Normally she is at the dining room table and I feed her breakfast. Because I was

there, the care aids attended her first. It takes two aides for each resident to safely handle the lift sling to get them onto the toilet and into their wheelchair, dressed.

Over 600 respondto recreation survey

COURIER-ISLANDER

The City of Campbell River wanted to lend an ear to city resi-

dents about recreation and culture and they got that ear full.

More than 600 people participated in their April recreation and culture survey and more than 60 people participated in focus groups.

“The number of survey responses well-exceeded our expectations, and we heard very valuable com-ments, suggestions and kudos about what matters most to people when it comes to recreation and culture in our community,” said City of Campbell Riv-er recreation and culture manager Lynn Wark.

“The rich information obtained from the focus

groups helps to supple-ment the data obtained through the surveys – and we extend huge, heartfelt thanks to the hundreds of people who took the time to provide the terrific response dur-ing last month’s public consultation.”

Community member, Don McIver, even took the time to attach a letter pro-moting an active lifestyle.

“Thanks to the City of Campbell River and the many clubs and businesses that promote exercising,” McIver wrote. “The payoff is a healthier, longer and a happier life. Give it a try,”

Joanna Broadbent, vice principal at Ecole Phoenix, added that “the students really enjoyed participat-ing in the youth focus group and liked having the opportunity to share their

thoughts on recreation.”The names of all survey

and focus group partici-pants will be entered into a prize draw. Winners will be notified over the next week.

“Another huge thanks goes out to the 15 local businesses that supported the consultation process by assisting with incentive prizes,” Wark says. “We are certain their generosity helped encourage the com-munity to participate.”

The information gath-ered during the public con-sultation will be reviewed during the month of May, and results will be shared with the community in June.

If you have any questions or comments you can call the Recreation and Culture Department at 250-286-1161 or 250-923-7911.

Results will be reviewed in May, made public in June

Student-led initiative urges ban on the tan“The goal was to get 100 pledges. On the first day, we had 222,” Elena Sirois

COURIER-ISLANDER

A four-day pledge week campaign at Carihi Secondary last week,

aimed at raising awareness about skin cancer and sun protection, resulted in more than 250 students promising not to deliberately tan this summer.

Organizer Elena Sirois, 17, was diagnosed with malignant melanoma, a serious form of skin can-cer, in January. The news came as a huge shock, particularly because she had not spent much time tanning.

Sirois had surgery to remove the skin cancer and is now cancer-free, but the experience has motiv-ated her to educate others, particularly young people, about how vital it is to pro-tect your skin.

With support from Carihi staff, particularly counsel-lor Jane Kolmatycki, and 12 fellow Carihi graduating students who joined with her to form a Tan-Free Grad Committee, Sirois has devoted recent months to raising awareness about the potentially deadly effects of not protecting your skin.

Last week, the Tan-Free Grad Committee blitzed the school with informa-tion about skin cancer.

They visited classrooms, Sirois shared her story, and they showed a moving video called ‘Dear 16-Year-Old Me’ which features real people who battled skin cancer. The students

set up an information table and asked all students, not just graduates, to pledge not to deliberately tan indoors or outdoors and to get to know their skin and watch it for changes.

“The goal was to get 100 pledges,” Sirois said. “On the first day, we had 222.”

At the end of the week, the students had collected 253 pledges and handed out hundreds of tat-toos, bracelets, infor-mation packages and more. Students added paper hands to a banner saying ‘Tanning is Out.”

Sirois said she

is hoping that by telling others about her experi-ence, her peers will choose to protect themselves this summer, and throughout

their lives.According to the Canad-

ian Cancer Society:1. There’s no safe way to

get a tan. Tanning beds

cause skin cancer.2. Melanoma skin

cancer is one of the most common and deadliest forms of

cancer in young people between the ages of 15 and 29.

3. Tanning bed use before the age of 35 significantly increases your risk of developing melanoma skin cancer.

4. UV rays from tanning beds can be five times stronger than the mid-day summer sun.

5. Tanned skin is damaged skin. Even when the tan fades, the damage is still there.

For more information, go to www.cancer. ca and click on ‘Sun and UV.’

For more information contact Elena Sirois - 250-923-696 or Jane Kolmatycki at 250-286-6282.

Eleven mallard ducklings are in the care of Mountain-aire Avian Rescue Society

(MARS) after their mother and two siblings were killed intention-ally, run over twice by a motorist.

On Friday, witnesses said that the mother duck and 13 ducklings were crossing the Inland Island Highway just south of Campbell River when a motorist crossed lanes, aimed for the mother duck, and hit her and one duckling. The driver then reversed and ran over the mother again and killed a sec-ond duckling.

When other motorists jumped out of their cars to corral the surviving nine ducklings, the car sped off.

A second witness who called in to see how the babies were doing confirmed that the incident was intentional.

“Everyone was too concerned with saving the remaining babies and did not manage to get a licence number or identify the person,” said Reg Westcott,

spokesperson for MARS. “These ducklings are no more than three-inches tall, they very likely hatched that morning or the day before. The babies are understand-ably traumatized and upset.”

MARS now has 16 ducklings in care, and are expecting more.

“We just grouped the ducklings into one super family,” said West-cott. “Ducklings do not do well alone and we actually brought two mallard ducks to act as siblings to a lone duckling we had. They do very well in groups although the feeding is a complicated nutri-tional regime that we change as they grow.”

MARS hopes to release the duck-lings when they are feathered and ready for flight, into a marshland

area where there are many wild mallards to help protect them from predators.

“Hopefully they will copy the mannerisms of the other ducks when they get out there,” said Westcott.

MARS holds permits from fed-

eral and provincial governments that allow them to rescue, keep in captivity and care for wildlife.

Their Annual General Meeting will be held on Sunday, May 25, from 1 to 4 p.m., at Merville Big Yellow Community Hall just off Hwy. 19A, 1245 Fenwick Road.

In addition to guest speakers Wendy Kotilla and David Stapely, guests will learn about MARS activities this past year, view the Strategic Plan , and learn about volunteer opportunities. Every-one is welcome.

HEALTH

Continued from page 1.It took nearly 25 minutes to

get her to the dining room. Just multiply this to 34 residents and the situation is obvious. The two care aids who were working did well, but were only in their sec-ond week of employment.”

Describing the situation as “chaos,” several long-term employees who were hired back told the Courier-Islander that after laying off all 120 employ-ees, and hiring some of them back, the care home is always short staffed, people are walk-ing off the job after working a few hours or a few days, there is no orientation and training for new employees, meals are late, bathing is being missed for up to three days, and employees are being asked to work double shifts.

“I do not know if Care Corp.intentionally short staffed the residence for possible financial gain or if they simply took over running New Horizons without being able to hire enough new employees to safely provide the legally required care,” said Terreberry. “Ever since they began operating New Horizons on May 1 there have been many difficulties including staff short-ages. Additionally there are daily a shortage of washcloths and towels. I do not understand this because it was not a prob-lem until they took over in May. There are some people not get-ting regular baths and body odour is experienced now which had never been the case before May 1. I have to use paper towel-ling to wash my wife’s face after meals. This is unacceptable.”

Ian West, Senior Vice President of Operations, said that when people come to visit the residents they want them to leave with the confidence and peace of mind that their loved ones are happy and cared for.

“I recognize this has been a difficult transition for some and any letters of concern will go through the normal investiga-tive channels,” he said. “The author of the letter will be contacted. We will determine how much of his perception is true and make sure that if there is anything that needs to be addressed it will be addressed.”

West said their focus is on the residents and there have been family meetings about the progress that has been made.

As for short-staffing concerns, West said, “A good number of staff have remained at New Hor-izons, fortunately, and that has helped in keeping the connec-tion between staff and residents. There have been some vacancies created and it is important work. Staff are all qualified and the majority of replacements have experience elsewhere.

“Orientations are necessary for the building and for the residents they will be caring for. That takes place initially and over a period of time. It is in place and continues to be in place.”

West also confirmed that employees are being asked to work overtime, and are compen-sated with overtime pay.

“The first week or so will be daunting for residents, family and staff but I am confident that the residents are receiving ser-vices and my focus is on making sure residents are the priority,” he said.

As for Terreberry’s complaint, West said, “There are a higher number of call-in sick days on Mother’s Day, particularly when it is a sunny day, and it is pos-sible this is why (Mr. Terreberry) experienced difficulties on Sun-day. I am confident once the dust has settled and people get used

to the change they will be happy with things at New Horizons.”

Terreberry has serious con-cerns about the past and the future.

“They did not even have the integrity to provide any training or orientation to the new employ-ees who are mostly recent gradu-ates from the colleges in the region,” said Terreberry. “These students have had little, if any on-the-job training which is very necessary for this work with the lives of mostly very delicate, aged residents. Approximately half of the care aides and nurses are new starting May 1.”

On the New Horizons web page they are currently advertising for positions in maintenance, laun-dry, housekeeping, reception, dietary, cook-ing, Regis-tered Nurses, Licensed Prac-

tical Nurses, Physiotherapy, and Occupational Therapy.

“When Park Place purchased New Horizons in 2013, they would have known the financial situation but due to a degree of corporate greed, they proceeded to create the unsatisfactory situa-tion that exists,” said Terreberry.

In his letter which also went to the facility owners, Terreberry said, “All of the families of the residents of New Horizons request and direct the owners, Park Place to return New Hor-izons to the safe and comfortable residence that we moved our very loved ones, wives, broth-ers, sisters, children and parents into to live the rest of their lives securely and comfortably.”

Re-hired staff said they are very worried that a resident or staff member are going to get hurt.

One staff member said it is an unsafe workplace.

“They are asking staff to stay from eight to 12 hours to even 16 hour shifts, with no overtime paid, because they don’t have enough nurses or care staff,” said one worker.

“One Registered Nurse had to work a 24-hour shift because there was not another RN to replace her.”

Trevenasteps up for HospiceSIAN THOMSON COURIER-ISLANDER

North Island MLA Claire Trevena advocated for the Campbell River Hospice Society in the legislature.

The non-profit agency has been looking for a proper home-setting with a designated hospice bed for the past year.

“The sad truth is we know about death,” said Trevena. “We know about terminal illness. We do not translate that knowledge into financial, legislative or mandated support of hospice houses.”

Last fall the Courier-Islander reported that there was a signifi-cant difference in the way hospices receive funding from Island Health, with much greater funding concen-trated in Nanaimo and Victoria. And in 2012 Port Alberni served 317 and has five beds funded but Camp-bell River, which received 22 cents per person, served 1,516 and has no beds funded. Victoria gets $10.40 per person and 17 hospice beds. As well, the new Campbell River Hospital, planned to open in 2017, does not have a designated hospice bed despite the issue being raised by Trevena.

Trevena told the Legislature that Hospice is a wonderful concept, helping people with terminal ill-ness as they progress towards death.

“Hospice is fundamentally differ-ent from hospitals,” said Trevena. “In hospital you’re seeking a cure, in hospice you’re not. You’re seek-ing peace, comfort, support and dignity as you approach death. It’s those diametrically opposed approaches — finding a cure or accepting death — which really underline why hospice needs its own place.”

‘Condomize’ fi sh farms to protect wild salmon

Re: TV program 60 Minutes. Per-haps we need to get some dialog started on a simple solution to taking the controversy out of salmon farming. I sent this to the producers of the show and to you.

I watched with great interest your excellent article on salmon farming in British Columbia. I live in Campbell River, which is at the heart of B.C. salmon farming. Of course people here are quite polarized on the subject because a lot of people make a good living from salmon farming and others are concerned about its possible long term impact on the wild fishery and attendant impacts on the ecosystem and birds and mammals on the food chain that depend on wild salmon for at least part of their existence.

Although there were arguments pro and con from all sides, every-one in your report agreed on one thing — there is a certain level of uncertainty about what impact long term salmon farming will have on wild stocks due to possible transfer of diseases.

We are taught in school and by our parents to practice safe sex. If we are not certain about our sexual partner, “wear a condom” we are told. Shouldn’t the same advice be practiced by fish farm-ers? Put a membrane instead of a net between the farm salmon and the wild salmon and the possibility for spreading disease goes away. Duh!! We have the technology.

So why don’t they do it? Because it costs more and therefore impacts on the bottom line.

Conclusion, there is a solution but we allow our ecosystem to be put at risk for private profit. That is obscene!

Marv Everett, RetiredCampbell River

Don’t ask ‘middle class’ to pay for your desires

K. Collins letter to this paper Friday, May 9 prompted me to express my own views on the seniors centre and on the “we are owed” mentality of some (not all) seniors. I am a senior myself, well past 70. I do not feel seniors are owed anything special. What did the “deserving” seniors do to “earn” this besides grow old?

We had our whole lives to pre-pare for becoming a senior. Maybe some were grasshoppers and did

a poor job of it. Some have plenty of income, some sold out property in high priced areas and moved here to a lower priced area. Should these seniors now expect the cur-rent taxpayers (who may be rais-ing their own family) of Campbell River to fund their leisure activ-ities? Should city council devote scarce funds or raise taxes to pay for a Senior Leisure Centre, when there are perhaps more urgent uses for funds such as shelter for the homeless, many of whom are themselves seniors?

To seniors who feel they deserve “respect” — are you giving respect to the council and the taxpayer? Is the best helping hand at the end of your arm? How many fundraisers have you held? How much do you charge for membership in your organization? Do you have month-ly dues that could go toward rent-

ing or purchase of space? How many said “thank you” for the free space you had for several years at the Campbell River Common?

How about the, “We built this country, we are the pioneers, you owe us,” attitude? Hogwash, our grandparents were the pioneers! For those who feel the city owes them this — how many retirees paid taxes here for most of their working years? How many moved here as seniors and now expect this small city to fund them in later years? Many did not even pay taxes in this province let alone this city. Yes, Campbell River is a great place to retire, but please do not expect the struggling middle class taxpayer to fund all your desires.

The good, the bad, the ugly and the goodThe 60 Minutes segment on fish

farming Sunday evening was like a heavyweight fight, with Ian Roberts of Marine Harvest pitted against anti open net pen activist Alexandra Morton.

And like a title fight, viewers — at least from British Columbia — were expecting a winner.

In the battle between the two main components, the match would be best described a draw.

But when Dr. Sanjay Gupta inter-viewed Cohen Commission senior

counsel Brian Wallace near the end of the program, the pendulum swung.

Wallace appeared uncomfortable with Gupta’s questioning and when Gupta asked, “So we don’t know that the (ISA) virus is not here, and we don’t know if it is here?” Wallace replied: “I think that’s correct.”

More disturbing still was Gupta’s last question and Wallace’s answer.

Gupta: “It sounds like until the virus actually gets out of these

farms and into the wild population that’s gonna establish the risk.”

Wallace: “That’s one way to estab-lish it.”

Gupta: “That sounds like it’d be too late.”

Wallace: “I hope not.”For the industry, one of the

strongest messages from the pro-gram it wanted to get out didn’t make the cut for the television broadcast. But it did make a video segment on the CBS website. In it Gupta dismissed suggestions

farmed salmon was dangerous to eat and that he could not tell the difference between the two when he did so.

He spoke of the health benefits of eating salmon and that while some studies say farmed salmon has higher levels of PCBs than wild, the levels are not anywhere near a concern for government food agencies.

In the end, it was a split deci-sion and both sides will claim the victory.

Previous question:

Do you agree with TimberWest not allowing the public to use their lands?

New question:

Was there a winner in the 60 Minutes seg-ment on fish farming?

COURIER ISLANDER

A large-scale effort to restore coho and chinook salmon in the Strait of Georgia got a big help thanks to a donation from

Vancouver philanthropist Rudy North, president and CEO of North Growth Management.

North pledged $250,000 to the Pacific Salmon Foundation’s Sal-ish Sea Marine Survival Project,

a research project to determine the causes of major declines in chinook and coho salmon in the Strait of Georgia during the last 20 years. The five-year project will cost $10 million and North’s dona-tion brings the total raised to $7.25 million.

North’s donation was announced at the Pacific Salmon Foundation’s Vancouver fund-raising gala at the Vancouver Convention Centre in front of an audience of 700 people. North made the donation to challenge others who care about salmon and the environment to make a similar level of financial com-mitment. North will also help the Foundation spearhead a fundraising campaign to raise the remaining funds needed to launch full-scale research in 2015.

“There are thousands of marine life species right outside our back door in the Strait of Georgia, and Pacific salmon are among the most important because entire ecosystems depend on salmon for sustenance,” said North. “Those of us who live on the Strait of Georgia have seen dramatic chan-ges during the last two decades, including loss of forage fish and marine plants like kelp and eel grass, and yet we still know too little about what’s causing these changes in the marine world. We need a comprehensive assess-ment that leverages all of our research capabilities to figure out what’s happening and to develop the strategies to ensure that we sustain the Strait of Georgia for future generations.”

Scientists believe changes in the Salish Sea, which includes

the Strait of Georgia, Strait of Juan de Fuca and Puget Sound, have significantly affected the abundance of Pacific salmon. Recent catches of coho, Chinook and steelhead in the Salish Sea have been at historic lows of less than one-tenth of past peak lev-els. These losses have been well acknowledged in communities surrounding the Salish Sea, yet understanding the causes of the declines have remained a mys-tery. Paradoxically, other Pacific salmon species like sockeye have had huge variability in returns. During the past five years, Fraser River sockeye have returned at the lowest (2009) and highest (2010) levels in a century. Pink sal-mon, on the other hand, have con-sistently returned at historically high levels in the North Pacific in recent years.

Starting May 19 Campbell River residents can recycle a broader range of materials in curbside Blue Boxes or Bins.

New items such as milk car-tons, aerosol cans, spiral wound containers for frozen juice, cook-ies and other items, hot and cold drink cups and plastic plant pots will all be able to be recycled.

The existing blue box recycling program will continue with weekly curbside collection by current contractor Emterra Environmental and collection schedules will not change.

The Campbell River Waste Management Centre will accept

more materials, including glass, styrofoam and plastic bags/film wrap.

The depots at Strathcona Gar-dens and Willow Point Park will not take any new items, but will continue to be drop-off locations for cardboard, hard plastics, and metals.

The privately run depot at 1580 Willow Street (Island Return-It Centre) will accept all glass prod-ucts, soft plastics such as bags and plastic wraps, styrofoam, cardboard and paper.

Glass (deposit) containers should be delivered to depots for deposit refund. Non-deposit containers will be accepted for recycling by MMBC at participat-

ing depots, including the Island Return-It Centre at 1580 Willow Street and the Campbell River Waste Management Centre on Argonaut Road.

Glass will not be collected at the curbside as it can easily break during collection, which contaminates other recyclables and is a safety hazard.

A full list of acceptable items is listed on the City website. Visit http://www.campbellriver.ca/city-services/garbage-recycling-yard-waste

COURIER-ISLANDER

Campbell River Fire Rescue crews are enhancing their skills thanks to a partnership with ABC Recycling.

ABC Recycling uses heavy equipment to set up vehicles on their property in simulated crash scenarios for emergency responder training. The vehicle arrangements can involve mul-tiple vehicles, including small cars and pick-up trucks as well as commercial vehicles.

“Members of Campbell River Fire Rescue regularly arrive at crash scenes where they face the challenge of freeing people from vehicles, and the opportunity to train at the ABC recycling yard

is an effective way to enhance those skills,” says Deputy Fire Chief Thomas Doherty. “These types of training resources are difficult to come by, and we appreciate the opportunity to train our members in what we refer to as ‘auto extrication’ before the vehicles are taken apart or demolished.”

Some of the tools crews use during training exercises include heavy hydraulics (known as the Jaws of Life), portable hand tools, vehicle stabilization equip-ment, air bags and pneumatic tools.

“Maintaining proficient know-ledge and skill level is critical in the fire service, especially with vehicle construction and tech-

nology changing every year,” Doherty says. “The enhanced safety features in passenger compartments of today’s vehicles — including multiple airbags and seatbelt pre-ten-sioners — as well as hybrid and electrical technology creates an elevated risk to emergency responders trying to rescue people trapped in vehicles.”

The new arrangement is also an improvement on past prac-

tice of towing available vehicles to the fire hall for training and then transporting them back to recycle yards.

“This partnership reduces the logistical and financial challen-ges for all parties involved, not to mention we’re short on space for

this type of training at the No. 1 Fire Hall downtown, and the sight of wrecked vehicles down-town was less than appealing,” Doherty said.

Campbell River Fire Rescue responds to calls for road res-cue on more than 450 square

kilometres ranging from south of Sailor Road on the oceanside route, to Cranberry Avenue on the Inland Highway, west along Highway 28 to Buttle Lake, down Westmin Rd to Nystar Mine and north on Highway 19 to Amor de Cosmos towards Sayward.

People waiting for the digging and blastingUpdate on the $1.2 billion John Hart Generating Station Relocation ProjectNEIL CAMERON COURIER-ISLANDER

It sometimes seems like it’s the project that doesn’t happen. But that is the farthest thing from the truth.

After seven years of BC Hydro planning and preparation, and with contractor SNC-Lavalin and their team now mobilizing to begin the construction work, there is a clearer perspective of the project impacts and relation-ship to the community.

People ask ‘what’s going on?’, ‘when are they going to start?’ but the start was years ago and it seems that without a shovel really in the ground, some are unaware of how quickly things will be happening.

The project construction is planned to start in late June and really begin around October with the tunnelling work. And the first 18 months or so will look like a mining operation and before the work will shift underground to the facility building stage.

“There are the project jobs that peak at around 360 in 2016 and all the local economic benefits that go with that, and the excellent facility design with everything

going underground, yet there are so many other community points of interest on this project,” says BC Hydro’s John Hart Project Communications Lead, Stephen Watson. “There is the collab-oration with the Campbell River Rotary Club and their Elk Falls Suspension Bridge project this summer, the partnership with SD72 to see the John Hart site, to the partnership with the museum on the interpretive centre. That’s been out there, but ultimately, what will people be seeing and hearing at the John Hart site?”

The roads and trails that are around the John Hart site, and even river access from BC Hydro property, are of public interest and BC Hydro has prepared the area by re-routing the trails and road access to prepare for the project and make them safe.

“There’s a lot of interest in what will be taking place, the where and how if you will, so it’s important that we share how we see it unfolding before it actually happens,” says Watson. “SNC-Lavalin, AECON and Frontier-Kemper are forming a plan that looks to have two work shifts to start, or working 20 hours a day,

five days a week.”And of course, there’s the fun

stuff — blowing things up.There looks to be about one or

two blasts per day, said Watson, and they will be pulling about 300 to 500 cubic metres of rock per shift, or about three to four metres of linear tunnel length per shift. And there’s no place to ‘store’ it.

That’s going to produce a lot of rock and plans are in the works to work with local First Nations to put that to use.

When the rock comes out of the ground it will be taken off-site by about six to eight tandem dump trucks that will be constantly moving back and forth.

Watson says BC Hydro worked out an agreement with the We Wai Kai First Nation and Camp-bell River Indian Band on the excess rock not needed for the project, and SNC-Lavalin is work-ing with First Nations on the details of where the rock will be sent.

The main haul route will come out at General Hill on Highway 28, and then go from there. SNC-Lavalin is developing a traffic management plan.

And what about that blasting? Being so close to the existing hydro-electric facility, that has to cause some concern.

“The blasting of the under-ground works will be highly con-trolled,” says Watson. “BC Hydro has stringent ground movement or vibration guidelines in place in order to protect the existing and sensitive John Hart penstocks and generating facilities, so by default, the broader issues will be looked after.”

In fact the control of the blast-ing will mean that even the people walking along the trails may not see or hear too much.

There will be construction vehicles making that beeping sound when backing up, or a clanging sound when being load-ed with rock, said Watson.

However, he added that the pri-mary work area is upstream of the surge towers.

Watson says BC Hydro and SNC-Lavalin will be making a presentation to city council on the project and the blasting and trucking logistics likely next month.

The Station View Trail will be re-routed slightly given the trail

currently goes right through the planned construction area. The trail work will start later this month.

“The trail will be shifted slight-ly and skirt all along the plateau edge and pass immediately down-stream of the 90-metre tall surge towers and connect into the Can-yon View Trail and Millennium Trail,” says Watson. “This new trail section will offer wonderful views of the site.”

The Canyon View Trail across the existing John Hart gener-ating station will be in place until the tunnel outlet work is undertaken.

The main public access into the John Hart site, and the public parking lot, looks to be open for most of the project duration. BC Hydro had planned for it to be closed off completely, but given the facility design and work loca-tions, this is much better and benefits the community.

Watson says the Brewster Lake Road closure may begin in Janu-ary 2015 and it may be in place for about two years,

White - The Snow-White KittyWhite the snow-white kitty is hard of hearing. She was born with blue and hazel eyes. Though

not all odd-eyed white cats are deaf, White is one of them.

White was adopted by Lu who uses her hands as the prime means of communication. By using body language, White knows right away if Lu calls her to come over.

White has much sharper vision than hearing cats. Because of her deafness, she has adjusted herself to the environment. She is very sensitive to vibrations. When Lu enters the room where White is asleep, she often taps the fl oor to let her know that she is coming in, so that she will not startle her baby girl.

White loves to be petted. She often walks up to Lu for love and attention. A sense of touch provides comfort to many deaf cats.

Even though White cannot hear, she knows when you are talking through vibration. To her, talking is like purring rather than a noise. She enjoys anything that creates similar vibration such as a vacuum cleaner and she’d sit on it when it’s on while many other cats would run away from it.

White is strictly an indoor cat but she does not miss the great outdoors by sitting by the window, watching her daily bird TV.

The little snow white is just like any other cats when it comes to play. She loves her toys, cardboard boxes, and bottle caps. Even though she cannot hear, she never feels any different and is perhaps more affectionate because of her love of being petted.

White’s world may be quiet, but it is full of colours, vibrance, touch and smell. To Lu, there is nothing cuter than seeing White lazing on her bed, snoozing away.

How to edge a lawnEdging a lawn is a springtime rite of passage for many homeowners.

When winter has come and gone, many lawns are left in need of some serious maintenance, including edging. Well-defi ned edges around the yard make the yard look more organized and better maintained. And edging is relatively easy, especially for those homeowners with a smaller yard. Edging can be time-consuming for those with more property, but when done properly, edging is defi nitely worth the effort.

• Remove debris from the areas you plan to edge. Before you even begin to edge, be sure to remove any debris from those areas that need edging. Debris, including rocks, twigs or the kids’ toys, left lying around can be kicked up when you’re edging, potentially causing injury to you or someone standing nearby.

• Purchase safety goggles. Even if you have removed all visible debris, there still may be some items hidden in the grass. These items can be kicked up and hit you in the eye, so purchase some safety goggles and be sure to wear them whenever you’re edging. As an added precaution, keep kids and others away from any areas you’re edging so they aren’t injured by any unseen debris that gets kicked up while you’re working.

• Check your tools. Edging can be done by using a gas-powered edger or a string trimmer. Before you begin to edge, inspect these tools to ensure they’re capable of handling the task at hand. Inspect the blades on a gas-powered edger to make sure they haven’t dulled since their most recent use. If they are dull, sharpen them before you start to edge. When using a string trimmer, make sure you have enough string on hand to complete the project. String trimmers use a particular kind of string, so visit your local lawn care or hardware store if you don’t feel like you have enough.

• Position your edger properly. Once you have given your tools the green light, it’s time to start edging. When you begin, make sure the edger is between the sidewalk or driveway and the edge of the lawn, placing the wheel of the edger on the sidewalk or driveway and then pushing and pulling the edger until you have created a clear edge. If you have never edged before, you may want to practice on smaller, more isolated areas until you become comfortable operating the edger.

Barb Shook was a good friend to Beth Hamilton and supported Beth in her efforts to raise funds to help find a cure for cystic fibrosis, the devastating disease her son Michael was diagnosed with at the age of 12 years. Sadly Beth had multiple myeloma and passed away three years ago leaving a legacy of the annual diamond raffle as her way of sup-porting the cystic fibrosis cause.

Beth’s husband, Neal, and Pres-ton Jewellers have joined forces to make sure the raffle happens every year. Beth started the raf-fle in 2002. “Beth was committed to finding a cure for cystic fibro-sis – she had so much hope for her son Michael and was grateful to the community of Campbell River for supporting the CF

cause,” said Shook. “I would like nothing more than to see Beth’s hope for a cure for CF become a reality.”

Tickets are available at Preston Jewellers for $10 each. They will also be sold at Quality Foods on May 23, 24 and 25.

The raffle is in conjunction with the Rod Brind’Amour Cystic Fibrosis Golf Classic and the draw will take place at the dinner and auction on Saturday, June 14.

All funds raised go to Cystic Fibrosis Canada, Campbell River Chapter to support high quality clinical care for people with cyst-ic fibrosis and medical scientific research to find a cure or control for this life threatening disease.

For more information contact Chris Black 250 923 4992 or Email [email protected].

Carihi’s musical this year is edgier and darker than previous shows, but may very well be one of the best shows the school has ever done.

That is according to Christine Knight, one of the show’s directors of

the secondary school’s performance.

“I am so lucky to be able to draw from a vast pool of talent at Carihi. We have so many strong vocalists and actors, and the musicians are excellent,” said Knight. “I think this show may be one of the best I have

ever worked on.”Bonnie and Clyde tells

the story of the famous outlaws, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, from their childhood, until their sad end at the hands of the law.

This version is fairly accurate, historic-ally, says Knight, and

focuses on the love affair between Parker and Barrow, but also includes bank robberies, shootouts, jail time, and the occasional gun shot wound.

The music, a mixture of blues, gospel and rockabilly is so catchy and memorable it will leave you humming all the way home, said Knight.

The show opens Thurs-day, May 22, and runs until Sunday May 25. Shows are at 7 p.m., and there is also a matinee on May 24 at 2 p.m.

Tickets are $12, but stu-dents can get in for $10 on opening night.

Tickets are available at Carihi office, or by call-ing 250-286-6282.

There is some mature content, language and violence, so the show may not be appropriate for small children.

The performances will be held at Carihi.

It’s the largest sporting, and cul-tural, event in North America and Campbell River’s Oshan Lazuk can hardly wait to be a part of it.

Lazuk, 15, has been selected to play for Team BC’s female U16 volleyball squad for the massive 2014 North American Indigenous Games (NAIG) to take place in Regina, Saskatchwan, July 20-27. Lazuk will be a part of over 4,500 athletes, coaches, managers and chaperones that will be at the Games that showcase unity, sport, culture, youth, volunteerism and team work between First Nations, Metis and Non-Indigenous com-munities. The Games are exclu-sively for youth athletes aged 13 to 19 years.

It comes as quite an honour and feat for Lazuk to be selected as one of the 12 players on Team BC. Provincial Aboriginal Volleyball Camps were held in November and December with one being held in Campbell River in Novem-ber. A total of 70 female athletes participated in the hopes of earn-ing a spot on Team BC for the 2014 NAIG.

Lazuk had to wait on pins and needles for three long months before she found out she made the team and she vividly remembers the day the letter of confirmation came.

“February 16th,” said Lazuk with no hesitation when asked the day she found out. “They (Team BC) sent a letter and my

mom and step-dad came to the school (Timberline) to give it to me. When I opened it and read it I started crying (with joy) as did my mom.”

The Grade 10 student at Timber-line plays on the Wolves junior team, beach volleyball and has been a member of the Crush Vol-leyball Club since Grade 8. Team BC coaches have the versatile Lazuk practicing in three pos-itions, libero, right side and power.

“I’m a good passer and can generate a lot of power, they (BC coaches) want me to be on the floor, so they want me to try dif-ferent positions,” said Lazuk.

The U16 team just recently had a training session in Prince George, along with the female U19 squad. They’ll have one more practice weekend next month in Kamloops before the Regina Games.

“We have a great team, there’s a lot of talent on it,” said Lazuk.

The North American Indigenous Games is an international multi-sport event, involving North American Indigenous athletes from Canada and the USA, staged intermittently since 1990. The Games are governed by the North American Indigenous Games Council, a council of representa-tives from 13 provinces and terri-tories in Canada and 13 regions in the United States.

Lazuk is looking forward to experiencing Regina and the Games.

“It going to be pretty amazing,” added Lazuk.


The Campbell River Gymnastics Associa-tion (CRGA) made club history sending four athletes to the Western Canadian Championships held in Saskatoon, April 24-26.

The talented Fab Four included Melissa MacAdam, Janika Scriba, Quinn Kuschel-Ross and Ashlyn Ouellette, who sadly could not compete due to an injury.

“History was made with the most (CRGA) athletes at one time qualifying for the com-petition, also having Quinn, the first male gymnast from CRGA qualify on the provin-cial team, and seeing Melissa (MacAdam) coming home as the Western Canadian Level 4 all around champion,” said CRGA head coach Todd Sader. “Janika Scriba was the only athlete that added a new skill for this competition performing a stalder on the uneven bars for the first time.”

The four gymnasts represented their Province well and did Campbell River proud finishing with some great results in Saskatoon.

MacAdam competed in the Open Level 4 division. She won the gold medal on floor, took the bronze medal on beam with a solid routine, placed seventh on bars and 10th on vault to come home as the Western Canadian all around champion.

Scriba competed in the Tyro Level 4 division and came home with a fifth place ribbon on floor, took ninth on vault and fin-ished 11th on both bars and beam to come home in 10th place in the all around.

Kuschel-Ross competed in the boys Level 4 division. He had all around potential, however, for Team BC he was picked to compete on three out of six events and he did well on those events qualifying in third place on high bar, fourth on floor for event finals, and a seventh place on parallel bars - one spot out of finals. In the event finals, Kuschel-Ross came home with a fourth place finish on both floor and high bar only .05 of a point away from a medal on both events.

“A great showing for our athletes,” said a proud Sader. “Our gymnasts continue to make their mark in the gymnastics world.”

GOLF CLASSICDINNER & AUCTION

The Campbell River Kinsmen have been proudly involved with the Golf Tournament from its beginning. The club president at the time, Ron Wood, was a member of the planning group for that inaugural tournament and they've been a Platinum Sponsor ever since. Cystic Fibrosis (CF) has been the National Service Project of Kin Canada since 1964 and it was a natural fit that the CR Kinsmen lend their time and support for the Golf Tournament to raise funds locally to fight CF.

Founded in 1920, Kin Canada is Canada's largest all-Canadian service organization made up of active community volunteers. Working together, Kinsmen and Kinettes members are enhancing the quality of life in their communities by promoting service, fellowship, positive values and national pride. Kin clubs support CF research, clinical care and fund local projects right across the country. When they first joined in the fight against CF, children with the disease were not expected to live past the age of four. So for roughly every year of Kin support, an extra year of life for a CF child has been gained!

The CR Kinsmen club has always strived to find ways to raise funds for the fight against CF through their dedicated local Cystic Fibrosis Canada (CFC) Chapter. They tend the bar at the Tournament Dinner and Auction and provide the ‘Kinsmen Drive Home’ service afterwards to event participants.

CF will continue to have a special place in the hearts of the Campbell River Kinsmen, through their involvement with the local CFC Chapter, the annual Golf Event and through the friends they have made in supporting the tournament for all of its 19 years.

When was the last time you spent the entire day having fun with your family? We bet it wasn’t on the golf course. All the “hush hush” and etiquette is being put aside for one day so the kids can play.

The first Campbell River Fam-ily Golf Classic takes place Saturday, July 19, at Story Creek Golf Club. The nine hole fun tourney has a 9 a.m. shotgun start followed by a picnic style lunch. Register your family to play golf for $150 for a team of four players (ideally two adults and two children).

In creating this golf clas-sic, organizers wanted to do something different. Most fundraisers, and especially golf tournaments, don’t necessarily bring families together. This one will be unique in that kids are encouraged to get out with adults regardless of their skill level. What if you don’t have kids? Make up a team, just find

two minors who want to join in – maybe grandkids or neighbours and friends.

This year’s theme is fun, family and feeding the less fortunate. The funds are being raised for the Salvation Army’s Light-house lunch program. Special thanks already go out to major sponsors Discovery Passage Den-tal & Implant Centre, Sure Copy Centre, Quality Foods, Alitis Investment Counsel, 99.7 The River, Boston Pizza, the Courier-Islander and Quality deSigns.

There will be prizes and a silent auction. It promises to be a great time for all ages. Don’t want to golf? Extra picnic lunch tickets can be purchased to join in after the tournament at $15 per person.

For registration forms, spon-sorship forms and information please contact Donna at Alitis Investment at the Georgia Quay, Matie at Columbia Ice on 13th Ave, David at Dave’s Tax Service on Dogwood – or email [email protected].

TERRY GUEST SPECIAL TO THE COURIER-ISLANDER

Round one of the Drifting Competi-tion took place at Saratoga Speedway Saturday.

Five cars from all across the North Island put on an amazing display of Drift-ing, with reigning champion #26 Alex Davidson eventually driving his 440 horse powered Nissan 240 SX to the winner’s circle, taking home the first round of Drifting at Saratoga.

The Drifting format works as followed; All cars qualify through a points system based on their control, technique, risk of the run and speed. From that point two cars are matched together to do side by side drifting with one slightly trailing the other, trying to “mock” his or her run. The cars then switch, with the one who was trailing now leading trying to outdo the other’s run. The judges from there will decide based on the pointing system who has out drifted the other and the winner then moves on to the semis and the loser to the losers’ bracket.

After a few runs and a bunch of elim-inations, Davidson would find himself in the finals with #4 Andrew Ottosen. After some back and forth drifting, the judges decided that Davidson would be the win-ner of the first round of drifting at Sara-toga. #14 Kyle Fallowfield would take on #15 Tom Flagel for third with Fallowfield just barely narrowing out Flagel.

Extra laps...The first appearance of the Monster Trucks will take place this upcoming long weekend. Rockstar and

California Kid will be here once again to put on yet another amazing Monster Truck performance. In previous years we have seen these trucks hit incredible air and both trucks have even rolled over! Accompanying the Monster Trucks on Saturday will be the Crash to Pass, Hor-nets, Roadrunners and the Figure 8’s, with the I.M.C.A Modifieds and the Bomber cars joining the action on Sunday with both nights running rain or shine.

On Saturday, May 3, the Windsor Plywood Midget A Ravens travelled to Victoria to play Juan de Fuca 2 (JDF2) in a Vancouver Island Midget A2 Lacrosse League game.

The Ravens set the tone of the game early with excellent team defence that generated a few qual-ity scoring opportunities on counter-attacks. The game was scoreless as both goalies made great saves. Nolan Morrison took the ball quickly into the JDF2 zone on transition and instead of turn-ing his partial breakaway into a low quality shot on net, he pulled the ball away and went into the corner. He spotted Nolan Fair coming down the opposite side with speed, held the ball then wired a pass to Fair at the open side of the net. Fair caught and shot in one smooth motion to put the Ravens

ahead 1-0. Later in the period, the Ravens went on a five-on-

three power play and made JDF2 pay for their sins. After JDF2 lobbed the ball down the floor to relive pressure, Ravens goalie Will McLean passed it up to Fair at mid-floor. Fair fed the ball to Morrison and he wired it short side to make it 2-0 for the Ravens at the end of the first period.

In the second period the JDF2 goalie earned an unsportsmanlike penalty. As time was running out in the power play, Cole Gent put a howitzer on net from the top of the crease that the JDF2 goalie never saw making the score 3-0 at the end of two periods.

In the third period, JDF2 made the most of a two-on-one. The shot on goal was partially stopped by McLean but the ball spun across the goal-line; 3-1.

Later, the Ravens went back on the power play. Ross Rickman made a crisp pass to Morrison as he cut through the house and he made no mistake put-ting another biscuit in the basket to make it 4-1.

JDF2 came back with an even-strength and power play goal to narrow the gap to 4-3.

Liam Rivett was able to break through three checks before finally getting free for a scoring chance. He put the ball up where mom keeps the peanut butter; 5-3.

JDF2 got one more before the final buzzer as the Ravens earned their first regular season win by a score of 5-4.

The next day had the Ravens back home to play Nanaimo. This was not to be a typical Ravens game as the scoreboard was 6-0 for Nanaimo at the end of the first period and each team had lost two players due to game misconducts as a result of separate incidents.

After Nanaimo scored early in the second, Zach Lontayao was awarded a penalty shot as he was hauled down while on a breakaway. He made no mistake on it as he buried the ball five-hole to make the score 7-1 at the end of the second period.

Both teams would score twice more in the third period. Lukas Lund assisted on a goal by Rivett and Gent assisted on Lontayao’s second of the game to make the final score 9-3 for Nanaimo.

The Vancouver Island Minor Lacrosse Commis-sion has reviewed the results of the first six games of the season. With records of 1-5-0, they’ve moved the Ravens and JDF2 from A2 to the B division effective immediately.

“This difficult decision is in the best interests of our team,” said Ravens head coach Todd Fair. “While we have many of the same players on this team that won gold in Bantam A2 last year, this is a different group with their own collective strengths and weaknesses. Our goal as coaches is to focus on improving weaknesses while maintaining and enhancing strengths. We believe that this group can succeed. We have to provide them with the right tools to do so and help them to recognize that like many things in life, this season isn’t a sprint, it is a marathon.”

For the third time this golfing season Joe Knight topped the leaderboard in Storey Creek Men’s Club play Wednesday.

Knight posted an impressive two under par 34 to score his hat trick of Storey wins. Andy Konopacki won low gross on the high side with a 39.

Pete McLoughlin won low net on the high side with Gord Grubisich won low net on the

low side.You could say Grubisich was

the real winner on the night. Not only did he win low net, he hit the jackpot on the par three No. 7 hole. Grubisich ended up with a hole-in-one on No. 7, which netted him the pot of gold, the snip and the skin, plus the The Coast Discovery Inn KP award. Quite the haul for one shot!

The team game was won by 97.3 FM The Eagle. The four-

some included Don Sinoski, Konopacki, Lawrence Renaud and Hogie McCrae. A&W came in second and The Property Guy placed third.

Kevin Mills won the Chinook long drive and Tim Baird won the Coastal Eyecare long drive. Geoff Hancock won the inaug-ural Property Guy long drive on No. 9.

Dusan Munjin won the infam-ous Coastal Mountain Fuels Explosion Award.

Gratitude, Contentment and Anxiety

A simple prayer of thanks is a great way to start and end every day. We have so much to be thankful for, and reminding ourselves of that fact will improve the quality of our lives. But, how do we know if we are truly and genuinely showing gratitude to God? With our family and friends it is easy enough to know if we are genuinely grateful. In that case, we will feel and express appreciation and be happy with our gift. We might extend this same analysis to God: are we genuinely appreciative of God’s gifts to us (our lives, our talents, our work, and our family and friends) and are we genuinely content with how things are working out in our lives? A true sense of gratitude to God should lead to a profound sense of contentment with our lives. This doesn’t mean that we won’t strive to make things better; there are many things that could stand to be improved. But, it does mean that as we go about our lives we manifest a satisfaction and contentment with things, and especially the little things we cannot change. Gratitude naturally brings with it a deep contentment which will banish fear and anxiety from our lives. So, we should keep in mind all that we have to be thankful for.

— Christopher Simon

This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24

COURIER-ISLANDER

The prawn traps are set, the clam buck-ets ready, the oysters and mussels at their best. The popular Cortes Seafood Festival will be held at the Gorge Harbour Marina on Saturday, May 17, overlooking the gor-geous Gorge Harbour. This festival is to celebrate local shellfish growers and fish-ers: all the shellfish at Seafest is from our local waters. Come early and stay late. Be entertained by live music while you enjoy your seafood lunch, browse the gazebo for local arts and crafts, visit with friends and neighbours, stroll the dock and enjoy the beautiful Gorge Harbour Marina grounds.

There will be seafood favourites, new oyster dishes, delicious salad and artisan bread. Tickets ($20) include a raw oyster shooter or a soft drink. Kids menu avail-able. The serving starts at 11:30 a.m. With the help of some 45 volunteers drawn from the shellfish growers, a yearly chan-ging charitable organization, and the community at large—approximately 450 gourmet lunches are served to islanders and guests on Saturday of the Victoria

Day weekend.Bike or sail to the festival, or come the

day before. Accommodation available right at the Gorge Harbour Marina from tent sites to lodge rooms or cabins and dock space for your boat. Bring your fam-ily and friends. Stay for the AfterParty and dance at the Gorge Hall.

Wake up to explore Cortes Island or participate in the Casual Cup at the Cor-tes School Filed, where laid back island hospitality mixes with competitive All Ages Ultimate. Walk Smelt Bay Beach, go for a swim in Hague Lake and visit the Museum and the Craftstore.

Can’t come for the weekend? Hop on your bike (15 minute ride from ferry to fes-tival), in your boat for a great boating day out, or call for the free shuttle from the Cortes Ferry and leave your car at Heriot Bay. Call 250-935-6911 or email [email protected] to reserve a spot. If you bring your car, please park at the Gorge Hall where there is lots of parking available.
