Higher speed limitsa good thing — Mayor

NEIL CAMERON COURIER-ISLANDER

Campbell River Mayor Walter Jakeway thinks increasing speed limits on local highways will be a good thing.

But he also says now would be a good time for the province to implement mandatory driver training for anyone involved in two or more accidents.

He also says the high-ways are only as safe as the drivers and vehicles using them.

“Another big gap is the lack of mandatory vehicle inspection,” he said. “As speeds increase vehicle condition becomes more critical.”

Jakeway was respond-ing to the announcement Wednesday by Transporta-tion Minister Todd Stone of increased speed limits across the province.

One of the changes will be upping the speed limit between Campbell River and Parksville from 110 to 120 km/h.

Sections of the highway north of Campbell River will also see speed limits upped including:

• A 44-kilometre stretch of Highway 19 from Camp-

bell River to Sayward that will increase to 100 km/h from 90 km/h.

• A 35-kilometre stretch of Highway 19 from Port McNeill to Port Hardy that will jump to 100 km/h from 80 km/h to 90 km/h.

• Highway 19 Duncan Bay Road to Menzies Road, Campbell River (4 km) — current speed limit: 80. New speed limit: 90

Stone said he’s increas-ing speed limits on 1,300 km of rural provincial highway in the Southern Interior, Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland, and raising the maximum speed to 120 km/h on cer-tain sections.

The move comes after public consultation on highway speed limits, as well as engineering reviews of highways con-ducted by the Ministry of Transportation, said Stone.

There was no support from the public to increase speed limits in North-

ern B.C., so nothing was changed in that region, said Stone.

Most of the speed changes will come into effect this summer, though increases to the Coquihalla, as well as highways near Peachland and the Fraser Valley began immediately on Wednesday.

Stone also announced new “variable” speed limits zones on three high-ways – a section of the Trans-Canada Highway, Coquihalla and Sea-to-Sky highway — where govern-ment officials can raise or lower the speed limit on a roadside LED sign depend-ing on weather and road conditions.

He said the province will also change legislation to give better enforcement tools to police so they can ticket slow-moving drivers who refuse to pull into the right lane and clog up traf-fic in the left passing lane.

The government also plans to change rules to allow mud and snow tires to be designated snow tires, as well as tires that have the mountain and snowflake symbol, said Stone.

HEALTH

DREW A. PENNER GLACIER NEWSMEDIA GROUP

Cranes, fences, portables and excavators are about to appear at building sites

in the Comox Valley and Camp-bell River now that the numbers behind the $606.2 million dual hospitals have been hammered out.

With the release of artist renderings, a clearer picture of the future of health care on the North Island has begun to emerge, although in an interview with the Glacier NewsMedia, Finance Minister Mike de Jong said it’s what will go on inside the facilities that really counts.

“We’re a growing population. We need to ensure that those health care facilities are there,” he said, referring to the complex financial arrangement put in place to bring the dreams behind the North Island Hospitals Pro-ject into reality. “As impressive a transaction as this is and as impressive as these buildings are going to be as structures, the real soul of these facilities is going to be the people that work within.”

Already private finance firms Balfour Beatty and Gracorp Cap-ital, under the overall Tandem Health Partners banner, secured $231.5 million by issuing “green” bonds with a 32.3-year maturity date.

The Private Public Partnership (P3) construction of a 153-bed Comox Valley hospital and a 95-bed Campbell River hospital will rely primarily on this debt, brought in through an oversub-scribed sale on the emerging cli-

mate-themed bond market, with the more volatile equity compon-ent representing a smaller yet significant portion — in the $30-40 million range (with Gracorp and Balfour Beatty split-ting the equity responsibility 50/50).

Overall about 60 per cent of the project funds will come from money borrowed by British Columbia.

The province knows it needs to modernize its health care offerings, yet is acutely aware in order to pay for these facilities it will be crucial to make sure the

provincial tax revenues keep roll-ing in.

“It cuts to the heart of why attracting investment and creat-ing job and promoting economic

development is so important,” de Jong said. “The government has no money of its own.”

Since the province has a AAA credit rating, BC P3 projects are quite attractive to investors, although because the green bonds were issued by a private partner and due to the nature of the project, Standards & Poor’s gave the NIHP debt an A- rat-ing. Observers say this is fairly standard for such a health care project.

It was the pledge of reaching a LEED gold certification, energy and greenhouse gas targets, as well as the legislative landscape (with programs like the BC Climate Action Plan already in place) that allowed the Altus Group to produce a third-party report indicating that bonds could be sold under the “green” moniker.

Over the past couple years green bonds have been selling like hot-cakes. More than $11 billion of the debt was issued globally in 2013, a figure which is expected to grow to $40 billion in 2014.

TAXES

SIAN THOMSON COURIER-ISLANDER

Some Canada Day dumpers were shocked when their normal two toonies for an

average load had them scram-bling for a $10 bill.

As of July 1 fees at the Camp-bell River landfill include a site access fee of $4/vehicle. There has also been an increase in the minimum load charge from $4 for loads weighing not more than 60 kilograms to $6 for loads weigh-ing not more than 100 kilograms. As well, the fees for clean fill (soil, turf or clean debris suitable for landfill cover) raised from $5/tonne to $15/tonne.

According to the Comox Strath-cona Waste Management Board, who decided on the increases dur-ing their Feb. 13 board meeting, directors had to make some diffi-cult decisions around increasing tipping fees to address the signifi-cant financial shortfalls in the recommended budget for 2014.

The need for additional revenue is driven mainly by the decreas-ing amount of material being disposed of at the landfill and

the increasing operational and capital costs for the service. Over the next several years, funds are required to construct the new engineered landfill at the region-al waste management centre in the Comox Valley, address land-fill closures within the region and support environmental com-pliance regulations by address-ing leachate and landfill gas management.

It was recognized that increas-ing tipping fees alone would not be sufficient to balance the finan-cial plan for 2014-2018, therefore, it was also recommended to tem-porarily sus-pend the wood waste and drywall diver-sion programs effective immediately and amend the drywall fee from the current rate of $200/tonne to $110/tonne as this material would become

an aggregate of construction and demolition debris.

“For the vast majority of the residents who use the waste man-agement centres, the tipping fees will still remain affordable,” said the CSWM board chair, Edwin Grieve. “The new site access fee would not be applicable to those using the recycling bins or drop-ping off grass and leaves. The implementation of a site access fee is a common approach used by other facilities on Vancou-ver Island and it makes sense because there’s a cost to provid-ing services like the scrap metal

drop-off and permanent house-hold hazardous waste stations.”

Bud Logan of Island Forest Stewards is concerned.

“I was hoping more would come out from the waste management meetings l was involved in last year,” he said. “This increase in dump fees will almost certainly increase the amount of trash dumped in our forest areas.”

The Comox Strathcona Waste Management (CSWM) service is a function of the Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) and is responsible for two regional

waste management centres that serve the Comox Valley and Campbell River.

Associate Pastor Albert Hopp

t is very important to remember that our nation was

founded on the Bible. The constitution has Biblical principles inscribed in it.But it seems as we become more liberal in our outlook that a lot of those principles are being challenged and broken. It seems that we have redefi ned what it means to live honourable lives. We can see the results of moving away from Bible principles with crime and violence on the increase, especially in the younger generation. There was a marked increase soon

after the school system took out Bible reading and the Lord’s Prayer. When we are left to our own regulating of how to live, we tend to gravitate towards evil. The Bible talks about the heart being fi lled with wickedness. Only with God’s help, and the forgiveness that Jesus offers, are we able to make the right choices and changes.

When we violate God’s principles and do wrong, we are causing our nation to crumble. To illustrate, it is like adding dirt to a cement mixture and using

it to pour a foundation for a house. It may not seem to make a difference right away but over time the foundation will crumble and the house is in jeopardy and it will be destroyed. It is our responsibility to uphold what is right, because in the long run, it does matter.

I trust you will take time this summer to thank God for our great country and recommit yourself to living a life that upholds justice and righteousness.

Wishing you God’s Blessings on your summer activities.

Hospital moves to design and constructionContinued from page 3.

With few standards in place to regulate the marketing of these capital-generating products, a big question looms about the extent to which companies are greenwashing for the sake of a deal.

A group of about 50 financial institutions have proposed “Green Bond Principles” draft-ed by Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Citi, Crédit Agricole Corporate, and JP Morgan Chase to help give investors confidence in the financial instruments.

“The test of this working in

the long-run will be, ‘Is it really going to something good?’” said Sean Kidney, CEO of the Climate Bonds Initiative, a UK charity focused on mobilizing debt markets for environmental change.

Much of the recent investment in the equity markets from 2009-2014 was for naught, since a lot of funding over that per-iod went to solar companies in Europe and North America that have struggled or gone bust due to competition from China with cheaper technologies for sale.

“The equity space has been a disaster,” he said, stressing the

bond market is a much safer ballpark. “You’re not going to make a lot of money.”

Kidney says so far the BC government’s approach to build-ing the North Island hospitals seems quite ambitious, ecologic-ally speaking.

Plus, NIHP financing itself represents a milestone in Can-

adian debt markets, as only two other truly “green bond” sales have ever been held in the coun-try before.

“The green component to this is an important dimension,” de Jong said. “It demonstrates you can set criteria like a LEED cer-tification that not only doesn’t hinder the project financially, but actually enhances it.”

Tom Sparrow, the NIHP chief project officer, said the low 4.39 per cent interest rate on the bonds, which will remain fixed for 32+ years, will make it easier for the government to pay down debt in monthly increments.

“A lot of times the financial formula is based on what is happening in the world that day,” he said. “Now we’re mov-ing forward with design and construction.”

Matt Dekkers, VP of Tandem Health Partners, said the com-mitment to a green hospital is sincere.

“We will meet the LEED goal,” he said. “Everything’s been designed to achieve that. It is a work in progress.”

This will likely mean plug-ins for electric cars, a white reflect-ive roof and water storage tanks on site.

“A lot of times the financial formula is based on what is happening in the world that day.” — Sparrow.

June was strongest on record since 2007

The benchmark price for a single-family home in the Campbell River area was

$265,900, up 2.98 per cent over this time last year according to the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board (VIREB).

In the Comox Valley the bench-mark price was $324,600 mark-ing an increase of 1.95 per cent over last year; Duncan reports a benchmark price of $280,800 dip-ping 3.27 per cent from last year; Nanaimo’s benchmark price was $338,300 rising 3.99 per cent from last year; Parksville/Qualicum has a benchmark price of $357,200, growing 3.43 per cent from this time last year; and the price for a benchmark home in Port Alberni is listed at $203,500 escalating 9.88 per cent from last year.

VIREB reported that sales activity is heating up across the Vancouver Island housing

market area, with the Board say-ing it was the strongest June on record since 2007.

According to BCREA chief economist, Cameron Muir, the sales-to-active listing ratio is sit-ting around 14 per cent, which puts the Vancouver Island mar-ket in the upper boundaries of balanced market territory.

He said this is great news for buyers and sellers, and with home sales on the rise, he expects to start to see market conditions “firm up” in the third quarter.

When asked about the slight uptick in prices across the Island, VIREB president, Blair Herbert, said that he was not surprised.

“With increased consumer demand and rising home sales, pricing should start to rise around the rate of inflation,” he said.

PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given to the electors of the proposed Quathiaski Cove Sewer Service Extension Area (No.1) that a vote will be held on Saturday, July 26, 2014 on the following question:

Are you in favour of Bylaw No. 196 and Bylaw No. 197 which propose to establish a service to fi nance the cost of an extension to the Quathiaski Cove community sewer system for the benefi t of that part of Electoral Area C designated in Bylaw No. 196 and, for that purpose, authorize the Regional District to borrow up to $330,000 to be repaid over a period not exceeding 20 years through imposition of parcel taxes on those properties that choose not to commute their share of project costs provided that the annual requisition of funds shall not exceed $28,500?

SEWER SERVICE EXTENSION (NO. 1)Lack of rainsets a record,snowpackshave goneNEIL CAMERON COURIER-ISLANDER

Snow pack? What snow pack?The two main snow pack sites

used by BC Hydro almost set a record for disappearing so fast.

Had the sites at Wolf River and Jump Creek dissipated a week earlier, it would in fact have been a record that was set in mid-June.

So enjoying all this sunny weather is one thing, now you can start hoping for some rain.

While the snow pack didn’t set a record the lack of rain has.

For BC Hydro’s water supply year from October to present, precipitation has only been 58 per cent of normal and that’s by far a new record low for our records, according to Stephen Watson of BC Hydro.

“Seven of the nine months in 2014 have had well below aver-age precipitation levels,” he said. “June was very dry at only 41 per cent per cent of normal and that’s near a record low. Total water inflows into the Campbell River system are currently about 30 to 35 m3/s and dropping. We have been tracking along his-torical record low water inflows into the Campbell River system.”

He said the Campbell River flow below the John Hart gen-erating station is about 50 m3/s and BC Hydro will drop the flow to about 30 m3/s early next week. The Upper Campbell Reservoir/Buttle Lake is currently at 217.6 m, and that’s about 1.6 metres below normal for this time of year.

Watson said BC Hydro will do its best to keep it above the 217 metre level through the summer though it may drop below that level around the end of August. Despite BC Hydro’s water con-servation efforts all year long, Watson said recreation users in the upper reservoirs will notice that levels are not ideal, which would be in the 219 -219.5 metre range.

Although not ideal, things could have gone south pretty fast.

“If BC Hydro had not been so proactive in our conservation efforts the water situation would have been worse,” said Watson.

HEALTH

SIAN THOMSON COURIER-ISLANDER

As construction activity begins for the North Island Hospitals Project, there

may be potential for heavier traffic or changed traffic patterns.

Initial work at the Campbell River site, because it takes place around the existing hospital, is going to be complex. However, measures will be taken to ensure minimal community disruption.

The south parking lot will be closed starting Monday, July 7, and Island Health is opening two new parking lots off 2nd Avenue west of Yucalta Lodge, with a shuttle service between the hospi-tal main entrance and the two new temporary lots running Monday to Friday in the morning.

The helipad will be closed start-ing the morning of Monday, July 7 and Air Ambulance traffic will be re-routed to the Campbell River

Airport as has been done in the past.

From Monday, July 7 to mid-to-late July there may be traffic

disruptions, with traffic control personnel on hand to assist motor-ists and pedestrians.

Island Health say they are aware of the inconvenience this may cause, and appreciate the public’s patience as this measure is tem-porary and necessary.

They say updates will be pro-vided as new stages in the project are reached. Construction of the new hospitals will continue into 2017. You can also visit the North Island Hospitals Project website for updates at: www.nihp.viha.ca.

New speed limits unnecessary and dangerousOn a stretch of road that is

notorious for black ice and hydroplaning, the provin-

cial government wants drivers to hurry up and crash.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone said the stretch of the Inland Island Highway from Parksville to Campbell River will now have a 120 km/h speed limit instead of 110 km/h.

If anything, the speed limit should be reduced to 90 or 100

km/h from November to March.And it’s not that the govern-

ment doesn’t know about those stretches of road that become hazardous with rain and low temperatures. They have erect-ed signs warning drivers of the dangers of hydroplaning in those areas - Black Creek, Dove Creek, McNaughton Creek - if you’re not paying attention and driving at a reasonable speed you are at extreme risk.

As it stands right now, 120 km/h is about the average speed drivers use on the Inland Island Highway. That is directly attrib-uted to the ‘it’s only 10 km/h over the speed limit’ assump-tion for which police will not issue a speeding ticket.

So in reality, the provincial government is increasing the speed limit to 130 km/h or more.

And that is just plain deadly.Whether it’s the design and

workmanship of the highway or because of specific condi-tions in those areas, there are stretches of road on which the speed limit should be 90 km/h.

Even with good tires and a reasonable speed, some of the puddling on the highway caus-es heart stopping hydroplaning.

The only place to which these speed limits will help get driv-ers there faster, is an early grave.

Previous question:

Did you know you can keep wild coho in Campbell River?

New question:Do you agree with raising the speed limit to 120 km/h between Parksville and Campbell River?

Quote of the day::Canada is like an old cow. The West feeds it. Ontario and Quebec milk it. And you can well imagine what it’s doing in the Maritimes.

Tommy Douglas (former Premier of Saskatchewan)

The 84.3% “no” response from my constituents in the proposed boundary

extension area sends a clear mes-sage that “Area D does not aspire to be part of the City of Camp-bell River.”

We love our rural area as it is and the large majority of people who, carefully and thoughtfully, demonstrated their respect for democracy and performed their civic duties by voting in this referendum showed how serious Area D is about our right to choose the kind of community we want to live in.

This decision should put an end to the speculation that any part of Area D is “up for grabs.” This attempt to “divide and conquer” our community by agitation on the north and south boundaries by land speculators and polit-icians from Campbell River has failed.

All of Area D, the rest of the Regional District and Campbell River citizens would have suf-fered financially if this decision had gone the other way. Citizens of Campbell River, whose council conservatively, wasted approxi-mately $200,000 of public funds on this process, asking a ques-tion that didn’t need to be asked, should be held accountable financially and politically.

That being said, our heroes on the “No” campaign who live at the “front line” did an amazing and wonderful job. We are ONE community; we should have been able to vote as ONE community. I can confirm that citizens from one end of Area D to the other are very grateful for the work

that northern Area D people did on this referendum. The dedi-cated volunteers who worked on this campaign were incredibly professional and well-organized. They never stopped, they never faltered, and they never failed. They exemplified the very best of civic involvement. Area D thanks them.

They achieved an 84.3% “no” vote and managed close to a 70% voter turnout. This result sends

a powerful message and one that cannot be ignored: We say “No” to the City by 84.3% with an incredible voter turnout.

I would especially like to thank the voters of the boundary exten-sion area who demonstrated their pride in our Area D com-munity and their respect for the democratic process. Without every one of your votes, this powerful result could not have been achieved. Thank you for

casting your ballots! Thanks also to the Chief Electoral Officer, Lynn Ketch and her professional team who had to work hard to complete this process fairly and efficiently.

Democracy is alive and well in Area D!

Brenda E. Leigh, Area D Director

So, two-time elected Council-lor Ryan Mennie is Camp-bell River’s newest piñata.

He’s the brunt of media ridicule,social media lynching and a peti-tion to oust him from completinghis term.

Fact is I’ve never met the man nor voted in his favour and it’s doubtful he would garner my X had he run in the next election. I do however remember and respect his years of volunteerism and community public service.

His crime? Accepting a job in another community so he can provide more for his family and maintaining his desire to com-plete the remaining months of his elected term. Where’s my stick?

Political hopefuls and the usual posse would have you believe that they are protecting we the taxpayers.

Nonsense. All I see is a few schoolyard bullies picking on someone because it’s become pol-itically-convenient and asking us to join in. I’ll pass.

Disappointed but not surprised.

The Campbell River District Teachers’ Assn. would like to send bouquets of roses

to the many individuals and businesses who have supported our teachers on the picket lines over the last several weeks.

We have had donations and encouragement from CUPE Local 723, Papa Murphy’s, Honda (Jason Deeth and Robin Conrad), the Nurses Union, Gavin Hall Masonry, Curves, Nelson Roof-ing, some retired IWA members, Sundance Java Bar, Jennifer Stevens and Tamara Storbach, many retired teachers, many families and neighbours from all of our schools, and other anonymous donations. We hope we have not missed anyone!!

A doggie litter bag full of thorns to the woman walking her two white

dust mops (Havanese, Shih Tzu??) on Willow Creek Road Friday, June 27 at 10:42 p.m. You watched with bag in hand as one of your dogs defecated on our

front lawn and then just walked away and left it for us to pick up. Unfortunately, we have to pick up all too often after small dogs. You were caught on surveillance cameras! Next time, PICK IT UP! We don’t let our dog use other people’s lawns as a bathroom when we walk her — neither should you!

Fed Up

Classrooms full of roses to the people of Campbell River that have shown

us undying support over the last several weeks. As we stood on the corner of 7th Ave and Dogwood each day, we got to see many people drive by- MANY who were very supportive! We would like to thank the following people for their support in the form of waves, honks, thumbs up, fist pumps, food, drinks and encouraging words:

Beeline Taxi, Purolator, the Fire Department and Ambu-lance crews, Fresh Slice Pizza, the employees of the City of Campbell River, Campbell River Honda, North Island Nissan, the Jolly Giant, BC Transit, BC Hydro, TNS Excavating, the Van-

couver Island Building Trades, West View Ford, Archer Mechan-ical, our Phoenix administrators and CUPE staff, and last, but certainly not least, the grand-parents, parents, students and other citizens of Campbell River that completely supported us. Thank you for understanding the importance of our fight! We hope that it will end soon.

With gratitudeThe teachers at Ecole Phoenix Middle School

ily. Thinking I would drop off my bike and when he returned he could fix it. James knowing I am a fairly avid biker went into his shop extra early the next mor-ning (on his day off) and fixed my bike. I was able to ride all weekend. Talk about awesome service. THANKS JAMES!.........

I was sorry to read the letter from a lady who is new to CR and not happy with the New-

comers Club. At each meeting the question is asked if anyone has new business they would like to discuss, if at that time you had talked to us about your concerns we would have discussed this issue.

We are always open to suggestions.

Roses, please, to the two kind men who separately stopped to offer my hus-

band assistance while he was changing a flat tire in the park-ing lot of our insurance agent.

Thankful

Thorns, to the City of Camp-bell River who are propos-ing a traffic control light or

stop sign at the intersection of Petersen Road and 14th Avenue. If it is such an important inter-section why is busy Petersen Rd. not improved and made safer? I have been nearly sideswiped twice this week by vehicles roar-ing up the hill from 14th Avenue and crossing the centre line. It is a narrow, winding road with lots of traffic and pedestrians and it is dangerous.

Still Alive, Barely

Bouquets of roses to the manager and staff of Tim Hortons and the individ-

uals who helped my mother and I when we fell in the parking lot. Your kindness and patience were greatly appreciated. How fortun-ate we are to be living in a com-munity full of caring people.

I would like to thank the man-ager and staff of the Real Can-adian Super Store in Campbell

River for their prompt and pro-fessional response to a medical event I suffered while shopping on Friday, June 27. They immedi-ately took charge of the situa-tion, summoning an ambulance, supplying oxygen and making me as comfortable as possible. Thankyou all.Continued page 12.

A covered wagon full of roses to the owner of Dairy Queen who handed out ice cream

sandwiches to the participants in the Canada Day parade. As a volunteer at New Horizons Care Facility I was pushing a wheelchair in the parade and know how much these elderly citizens enjoyed their ice cream, especially on such a hot day. What a lovely gesture! Thank you.

Guided Portfolios: Bringing discipline to your equity portfolio.

Even the most experienced investor can occa-sionally fall into the trap of “emotional invest-ing” and make investment decisions based on emotions such as fear and over-confidence.

To help investors overcome these natural, yet counter-productive emotions, we have created the Guided Portfolios. With Guided Portfolios, you can avoid the pitfalls of emotional invest-ing, and make your investment decisions based on clearly defined guidelines instead. By follow-ing these guidelines, your investment portfolio is comprised of quality companies, diversified across industry sectors and rebalanced as needed.

Building your portfolio Working together, we will first develop an

investment plan that takes into consideration both your characteristics as an investor and your investment objectives. Using this plan as a guide, we will then populate your portfolio using the stocks recommended through the Guided Portfolios selection process.

The selection processStocks are selected based on our “top-down”

and “bottom-up” approaches. Top-down analy-sis helps us determine how stocks should be allocated between the various economic sectors. As economic conditions change, the recom-mended allocation is adjusted to reflect our cur-rent outlook for each sector.

Bottom-up analysis considers the advantages – and disadvantages – of each individual stock. Only stocks that score well across all three research disciplines – fundamental, technical and quantitative analysis – are considered for inclusion in the Guided Portfolios short list of 60 stocks. Stocks are removed from the list according to a well-defined sell discipline, or if the balance between sectors needs to be adjusted.

Buy and sell decisionsKnowing what to sell and when to sell it is one

of the many challenges to successfully manag-ing a portfolio, overexposed to any one particu-lar company.

Teachers deserve the public’s supportI am fed up with our provincial govern-

ment’s unreasonable stance with respect to the B.C. teachers’ strike. I wish that the government could step back and see what’s at stake here — our children, our country’s most precious resource.

I attended our grandson’s Grade 12 graduation. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the devotion and care he’s received from teachers at his school, Cari-hi, in Campbell River. His teachers have struggled to give him and every other student they teach the kind of education children deserve. They struggle because they are overworked and underpaid.

Education is in crisis. Teachers are expected to do more every year with less and less resources, and with less and less security.

In this province, every teacher has to deal on a daily basis with children who

come to them from broken homes, with learning disabilities, and a whole range of I.Qs. Throw in some special needs kids into the mix, and you have bedlam.

In a classroom of 25 and more, if even one child is having a bad day, he can disrupt the learning experience of all. And yet, we expect the teacher to man-age without adequate support through teaching assistants and other supportive personnel. At the end of the day, we have a teacher who is stressed to the max and students who don’t get the education they deserve.

Some of the public is swayed by govern-ment arguments that teachers are being greedy in asking for more salary and steady contracts. Teachers earn every penny. Ask any mother of even just two, how she copes for the day. It’s not easy. And yet we ask teachers to handle 25 and

more individuals with unique needs every day and teach them something as well.

And contrary to some popular belief, teachers do not work regular hours and have long vacations. They often put in long hours after the children have gone home marking papers, preparing for class instruction, or providing extracurricular support for their students. When they are off on some well-earned vacation time, they also use this time to take more courses, and plan for the upcoming year.

As far as I’m concerned, teachers are saints. They are dealing with our most precious resource and they deserve to be well-paid, well-supported with teach-ing assistants, and respected for what they do. Without them, we have a sorry tomorrow.

When it comes to a refreshing glass of white wine… Are you fatigued by all that fruit?

Not all white wines are purely about fruity flavours. Some whites - particu-larly European or ‘Old World’ wines - have very subtle fruit characters... but they show a lot of chalk, wet gravel or slate minerality. Serving these wines with food tends to accentuate the subtle fruity flavours of these ‘lean’ whites.

‘New World’ whites – from Australia, South Africa and North or South America - can be just as ‘lean’, though much less frequently. Wine makers all around the globe are currently chas-ing that trending sweet and fruity style popularized in Australia by Yel-low Tail Shiraz and brought across the Pacific Ocean to California in the guise of Apothic Red.

Grüner Veltliner is a classic and relatively obscure Austrian white wine grape known for lemon zest and stone fruit aromas and flavours over distinct and unique sprinklings of white pepper. Coming to us from nearby Hungary Grasshopper Grüner Veltliner (156463) $9.99 has a rich ‘chewy’ vegetal viscosity subtly rem-iniscent of asparagus – and a mere sprinkling of white pepper notes over a citric base.

Casal Garcia Vinho Verde (400531) $11.99 is a Portuguese blend of Tra-jadura, Loureiro, Arinto, Azal and Avesso wine grapes and arguably the

best known ‘green wine’ by virtue of sporting the same extremely trad-itional label for many years. ‘Green wine’ refers to the youthful and refreshing character of these lightly citric and ever so slightly sparkling white wines. But it’s easy to imagine a glint of green in your glass….

The underlying tart apple flavours of The Wild Olive ‘Old Vines’ Chenin Blanc (205922) $12.99 from South Africa’s Swartland region - an hour’s drive north of Cape Town - are dusted with a quietly earthy edge. Surpris-ingly ‘chewy’, there’s a base of tan-talizingly ‘Old World’ vegetal notes in this ‘New World’ white wine adding layers of interest without overwhelm-ing the subtle fruit.

The post-modern, somehow “stripped” but lovingly retro label Michel Chapoutier put on one of his most recent white blends ensures you’ll be able to find it when you go looking the second time. Marius Terret Vermentino (821868) $14.99 leads with a bright lemon rind bite when chilled. This intriguing blend of Terret and Vermentino wine grapes develops white peach aromas and flavours and a subtle and intriguing wisp of dill or anise lurks in the background.

What’s in a name? Not to be con-fused with the Scottish slang for a ‘Chav’ or ‘Non-Educated Delinquent’, ‘The Ned’ is named for a nearby mountaintop in Malborough, New Zealand. Lean and vegetal, The Ned Sauvignon Blanc (16964) $15.99 is a textbook version of Malborough’s winning way with this vibrant white wine. Bright zingy gooseberry fruit aromas and flavours slide into intense green peas and asparagus. This pairs perfectly with almost any version of

our local prawns and halibut!Boutari Moschofilero (177154)

$16.99 is a lovely puzzle of a white wine. Is it related to that “Mother Of All Wine Grapes” – Muscat? Or does this Greek white have more in com-mon with Gewürztraminer? Crisply floral and lightly lemon-lime fruited when chilled, Moschofilero develops some density, a nutty honeyed spice, and a wealth of slate and gravel com-plexities as it warms up in the glass to room temperature.

Apart from its persistently atten-tion-grabbing underlying chalky min-erality Heitlinger Intuition ‘Smooth Leaf’ Pinot Blanc (223487) $17.99 could be mistaken for a ‘New World’ white from British Columbia’s Oka-nagan Valley. Soft and supple, this just barely off-dry German white is all zesty ripe apple aromas and flavours and will please almost every white wine lover.

From Italy, suitably chilled, it is the “chalky” minerality that stands out on first sipping Cantine Argiolas Cos-tamolino Vermentino di Sardegna (457945) $19.99. Subtle aromas of lemon, kiwi and tropical fruits ride on a base of bright acidity. As well as local Sardinian Vermentino wine grapes, this interesting white incor-porates 10 per cent Nuragus, a grape that is indigenous to Sardinia.

These are all wines that strut their best stuff when served with food. Cream sauces on fish and pasta and soft white cheeses tame the natural zesty acidity and allow the underlying fruit characters to come forward to tease and tantalize the taste buds. Enjoy!

As a Doctor of Chiropractic, I aim to assist patients to feel better and

recover from painful spinal problems with natural hands on treatment.

Adjustments of the joints of the body has been used in the healing arts for many centuries and is at the the heart of chiropractic care. Chiropractic adjustments can help to alleviate pain and restore normal function to joints, ligaments and supporting muscles.

Many people ask me, are adjustments safe?Chiropractic is a healing discipline fi rmly grounded in science.Adjustments provided by doctors of chiropractic has been researched extensively both in Canada and internationally. It has been shown to be a safe, non-invasive approach to joint and muscle problems.The information has been made available, in part, by the Canadian Chiropractic Association.

HEARING ADVICEfrom

What can hearing aids do?

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

When a person has hearing loss, soft consonants such as ‘s’, ‘f’, ‘th’ and ‘sh’ can be very difficult to understand. Hearing aids amplify the soft speech sounds which improves our ability to have conversations. With today’s modern technology we can “tell” the hearing aids to amplify certain frequencies more than others to give the most help just where it’s needed. They will also enable you to hear voices more clearly when there is background noise.

Early detection is key to finding the right solution so you can stay connected to the sounds around you. Call Connect Hearing today to book your complimentary hearing test and consultation.


CAMPBELLTON

CAMPBELLTON NEIGHBOURHOOD SOCIETY OFFICE 1661 - 16th Avenue (in Campbell River Bowling Centre)

CAMPBELLTONNEIGHBOURHOOD SOCIETY

Working to Change Space Into PlaceWe are a society of residents and businesses working on

positive change for Campbellton Village in Campbell River. Watch this newspaper the fi rst Friday of each month for a regular

update on activities, plans, events and developments.

They say Rome wasn’t built in a day and the renewal of Campbell River’s Campbellton area will take some time too but progress is being made.

The formation three years ago of the Campbellton Neighbourhood Association has helped achieve several gains for the community, most notably the decision by City Council to install a much-needed traffi c-light system and sidewalks for pedestrians at 14th and Petersen to help calm traffi c in an accident-prone area.

More recently the city began construction of proper sidewalks along many streets in the residential parts of Campbellton and association members are lobbying to

have all of those streets included in that program.

The need for sidewalks for safety reasons was identifi ed in early inventory work done by community volunteers and was reinforced by urban planning students from Vancouver Island University. One of those students is working full-time this summer on Campbellton issues and other students will again be working in Campbellton this fall.

Numerous new projects are in the works, especially initiatives to expand public access to river frontage, improve entrance signage and possibly acquire a property between the bridges for a tourism facility.

Meanwhile the association wishes to thank Ross Blackwell and Morgan Ostler for their many signifi cant contributions to the neighbourhood; though they are taking some time away now we look forward to their return.

The CNA has had to vacate its fi rst offi ce in the bowling-alley building but watch this space for news about its next location.

If you haven’t seen the latest issue of Campbellton NOW magazine, copies are available at Kiki’s Printing, 1631 Island Hwy.

Incorporating greens into your everyday dieta kid. You couldn’t get me to eat anything! It wasn’t until my late teens that I realized the import-ance of getting vegetables in my everyday diet. Vegetables, but more specifically greens, are packed with health enhancing vitamins and minerals. All vege-tables are rich in nutrients, but greens top the charts. Unfortu-nately, it’s greens that seem to be the hardest for most people to eat.

I’m going to help you with that! Here are five easy, deli-cious, and fun ways to incorpor-ate greens into your day that have nothing to do with salad!

1. Green SmoothiesSmoothies are a very efficient

and tasty way to pack some greens into your day. There are

hundreds of recipes on the inter-net these days, so I will simply provide you with my basic tem-plate for a meal replacement:

1 small fruit (banana, berries, orange)

2 handfuls (minimum) of greens (spinach, kale, chard, parsley, cilantro, lettuce)

1-2 tbsp. Healthy fat (hemp-seeds, flaxmeal, coconut, avo-cado, almond butter)

1 scoop of protein (whey, brown rice, hemp, pea, etc) liquid (water, almond milk, rice milk)

Blend and enjoy!2. Kale ChipsI’m sure most of you have

heard of kale chips by now. These are an amazing way to eat one of nature’s most nutri-

tious greens. You can buy them premade, or easily create them on your own. Kale chips are also a fun way to get kids to eat their greens too!

3. Collard WrapsCollards have beautiful, broad

leaves that make them perfect for wraps. Just cut out the thick stem, pack them with your fill-ing of choice, wrap, and enjoy. You can also use kale or chard too. One of my favourite things to wrap are grass fed burgers; skip the bun and use a leaf instead!

4. Fatten It UpAll those vitamins and anti-

oxidants found in greens need fat to be absorbed properly. That’s good news for us, because fat adds a flavourful punch.

Think broccoli and butter, kale sauteed in coconut oil, cabbage and bacon...need I say more. And for those of you cringing at the idea of eating saturated fat, let me just say that you needn’t worry, fat is good for you! But that’s another topic...

5. Hide ItOK, so you’re still not a fan

of ________ (insert green here). If you slice it, dice, it, and food processor the heck out of it, you can hide those greens in every-thing! Sauces, omelets, lasagna, casseroles, quiche, muffins, brownies...yes you read that correctly.

Aim for at least two green-filled meals per day, and don’t forget about the other rainbow assortment of vegetables too!

Make sure to get your tickets for the upcoming Campbell River Garden and Art Tour - July 5 and 6 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The ticket entitles you to visit 14 exquis-ite Campbell River gardens, including six that are new to the event. You will also be able to see artists at work at a variety of gardens on tour days.

There will be an eclectic mix of gardens to see! Enjoy flowering vines and hand-painted birdhouses, then walk on quaint stone steps through towering shrubs. Visit the Campbell River Compost Education Centre to see an amazing recycled art display, and stop by the Sybil Andrews Cottage to see the recently restored his-toric garden. You’ll see small gardens and large gardens, be awed by breathtaking views, and stunned at the ultimate fantasy garden where bedspreads and pillows are made of flowers. There’s a lovely garden based on Feng Shui principles, amazing greenhouses to see, and a fascinating

garden featuring an artist’s raku pottery sculptures. The creativity and beauty will be second to none.

The Campbell River Garden and Art Tour is sponsored by Royal LePage Campbell River and raises funds for children’s art programs. The tour takes place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, July 5 and Sunday, July 6. Tickets are $16 and are available at the Campbell River Art Gallery, the Visitor Information Centre and the Willows Mar-ket.

ALAN MCLEAN SPECIAL TO THE COURIER-ISLANDER

The Campbell River Windsor Plywood Midget B Ravens began their Vancouver Island Midget B Lacrosse League playoff run with a pair of games in Nanaimo Saturday. The joint was jumping as there were three other Ravens teams also engaged in playoff games at the same venue.

The Midget B Ravens were missing a couple of key players as Kari Martynyk is still on the DL (broken collar-bone) and Quinn Pedersen joined her with a pulled muscle. So basically the Ravens went into their best-of-three series against the Oceanside Sharks with one wing tied behind their back. Oceanside had only lost three out of 15 regular season games so the Ravens knew they had to flock together and work hard to make good

things happen.Game one started ominously as Ravens

goalie Will McLean got a piece of a shot but not enough as the ball spun across the goal line to put the Sharks on the score-board first. They extended their lead to 3-1 but the Ravens closed the gap to 3-2 at the end of the first period with some great ball movement and commitment to run-ning their motion offence.

The Ravens proved that “Old Mo” was on their side in the second period, quickly tying the score then taking the lead on consecutive goals to take a 9-5 lead into the third.

During the second intermission, both teams were reminded by their coaches to pay attention defensively. They took that message to heart as neither team scored in the third; final score 9-5 for the Ravens.

After a few hours to rest, hydrate and

take in some nourishment, both teams lined up for game two of the series. This time the Ravens grabbed an early lead and did their best not to relinquish it, tak-ing a 6-5 score into the first intermission.

They kept moving their feet and let the ball do the work while playing tight man-to-man defence. Josh Fladager set picks at both ends, helping the transition up the floor and keeping the motion offence flow-ing. The Sharks were getting a bit desper-ate and took a few chances but the Ravens made them pay dearly for their transgres-sions, extending their lead to 11-5 at the end of the second period.

That type of score at this stage in the series can be the tipping point where teams forget about the scoreboard and focus on getting even on the floor. Unfortunately that seemed to be the Sharks plan. Their parade to the penalty

box continued with tensions mounting before boiling over into a wee bit of a brouhaha. The final score was 14-7 as the Ravens swept the Sharks in two games to advance to the Midget B Island finals against Juan de Fuca.

Ravens scoring this weekend was led by Nolan Morrison (five goals, three assists); Nolan Fair (5G, 2A); Reilly Doney (3G, 3A); Cameron Hunter, Matt Leard, Zach Lontayao and Liam Rivett each had two goals; Ross Rickman (1G 1A); Cole Gent (2A); Lukas Lund (1G) and Kodie Borton (1A).

The Midget B Ravens and Campbell River Minor Lacrosse Association are extremely proud to be represented on Team Island at the BC Summer Games by Reilly Doney (field) and Morrison (box). Fair is an alternate for the field team.

KEN ZAHARIA COURIER-ISLANDER

Campbell River U13 female soccer player Charlie Borrie became the first female player in the North Island to not only successfully be evaluated for the White-cap Prospects but to be invited over to Vancouver for a session. That evaluation camp took place Saturday, June 28, with the Whitecap Elite coach Jesse Symons.

It is one of many steps Borrie has accomplished to get her closer to her ultimate goal of either a scholarship or playing on the Canadian national team.

Her training began with her dad Greg Borrie, then her Aunty Erin in Califor-nia enrolled her in two camps where the coaches wanted her stay and continue

training for their premier divisions. With these successes she was able to qualify for the Fusion Academy in Vancouver and be assessed by coaches who believed she had provincial material.

Closer to home coaches in Comox saw her on the pitch and invited her out to their

U13 select team where she has again excelled and played for them last sea-son. She most recently quali-fied for the Van-couver Island Premier League (VIPL).

Under the current system for youth soc-cer Charlie’s geographical location denies her easy access

to the provincial team which pathway is through the BC Premier League out of Victoria hence the importance of the acceptance into the Whitecap Organiza-tion based in Nanaimo,” said Charlie’s dad Greg Borrie.

At a meeting in Comox this spring a spokesperson on behalf of the VIPL made it even more difficult for Upper Island players to get a chance at provincial teams by advising parents Upper Island players would only be placed in a pool of players and if needed called to play.

“Thankfully the Whitecap organization has the ability to develop and promote players in remote areas to achieve their goal through its Academy System,” added Greg.

TERRY GUEST SPECIAL TO THE COURIER-ISLANDER

Canada Day was celebrated over the weekend at Saratoga Speedway with over 60 cars filling the pits. The Crash to Pass cars, Hornet cars, Roadrunners, I.M.C.A Modifieds and the Bomber cars were all on the racing card on Saturday, which was all capped off by yet another amazing fireworks extravaganza.

A full field of 11 I.M.C.A Modifieds arrived to put on yet another great show of driving skills. Four heats were given to the mods with two of which being reverse heats. #01 Jeff May drove his brand new Modified to the win of the B heat, with the reverse going to #45 Jeff Monks. Points leader #91 Chris Beaulieu would take the A heat, with the reverse going to #46 Ryan Monks, Jeff’s brother.

Thirty laps were awarded for the Modi-fied main event which saw #89 Gregg Sagmoen hold the lead for the first 14 laps, but Beaulieu would find his way into first and he would pull away from there, holding off Sagmoen and the rest of the field to win his third main of the season. The real battle was for second and third between Sagmoen and #72 Travis Stevenson, with Sagmoen barely holding off Stevenson to take home sec-ond, with Stevenson finishing third.

A season high 24 Hornet cars qualified on Saturday with six heats given. #54 Taylor Theaton would take home her first ever win in a borrowed car in the C heat, with the reverse going to #13

Oscar Shelton which was also his first ever win. #10 Blair Mangles would take the B heat, with the reverse going to #16 Ashley White and #12 Raymond Fortier would take both of the A heats.

Thirty-five laps were given to a 23 car field which saw many lead changes, yel-low flags and lots of close racing, and after everything was all sorted out, For-tier would once again find himself in the winner’s circle, winning all three races he entered tonight. #87 Boston Larson would take home the win in the B main, holding off #18 Darren Monk to take

home the win.The Roadrunner division saw five cars

arrive which had #66 Nick Leavitt take the first heat with the reverse going to #77 Trace Stevenson.

A shortened field of Bombers saw #15 Don Hallgarth win the eight lap heat, with the reverse going to #5 Darren “Bam Bam” Larson.

The Roadrunners and the Bomber cars would join into one 20 lap main event; #11 Justin Beaulieu would jump out into first in the Bomber field and he would be able to hold off a hard charging field to take home his first win of the year. #73 MacLaren Inglis would hold the lead in the Roadrunner field for the first 17 laps, but #77 Trace Stevenson would pass Ing-lis late in the race and he wouldn’t look back from there, winning his second straight main event win.

Points leader #01 “The General” Jeff

May saw his transmission blow before the night started, opening the door for the rest of the Crash to Pass field. #73 Sheldon Hopp would take the win in the 10 lap heat, with the 20 lap main going to #2 Glenn Pinto who found himself in the lead after Hopp and others entered the pits, opening the door for Pinto to pick up his first main event win of the year.

Extra laps...Next weekend marks the Sixth Annual Bikini Contest at Saratoga. In previous years this event has drawn ladies from all over the Island to compete for the $1,000 grand prize. Last year’s winner came to us from Qualicum Beach and will be looking to retain her title. First runner up will receive $500 with the second runner up receiving $250. Next weekend also marks the first ever Motor Home stunt jump. Alex Benyuk will be jumping a black F150 into two motor homes.

I have friends that won’t date anyone who does not ride a bike. They want to spend as much of their time riding as possible, and if their girlfriend/boyfriend doesn’t ride bikes, then it’s a failed relationship waiting to happen, so why bother.

I have other friends who won’t date any-one that does ride. Their thinking is that riding is their time. They want some separ-

ation between their passion for cycling and their home life. Its “guy time” or “girl time” when the bikes come out and the last thing they want is their worlds colliding.

For me its more about balancing the two. My spousal equivalent Chenoa, rides quite a bit, but in different ways than I do. We get out for mountain bike and road rides and although it is a different ride than either of us might do on our own, it is a great time. We also have our own riding friends where the home/ride separation is satisfied. I like that we can share our passion for cycling as well as do our own rides regularly.

For most of you this has never entered your mind, it just happened for you natur-ally and that’s the culture of cycling. Of

course you met your spouse riding,where else do you meet people?! Or maybe when you met you were the avid cyclist and he/she never even owned a bike, but passion can be contagious and now you are both pedalling every chance you get.

The key is to have a good balance that allows you to ride enough without cutting into daily life too much. Or...stay single, ride every day and park your bike in your bedroom…who’s going to complain???

City of Campbell River property owners can now make monthly contributions – and earn interest – toward 2015 tax payments.

Apply now for the new pre-authorized payment service that begins in August.

An application form and program details are included in this year’s property tax notice and posted on the City’s website (www.campbellriver.ca under City Services / Property Taxes). Or pick up a paper copy from City Hall, the Community Centre or Sportsplex.
