It’s a three-way race to win a building contract worth $600-mil-lion.

A trio of consortiums are in the running to build two new hospi-tals in Courtenay and Campbell River as the request for propos-als was officially announced

Monday.“The quality of the three short-

listed firms is very strong,” said Claire Moglove, chair of the Comox Strathcona Regional Hospital District. “Moving to (this) stage is a significant step in the development of the North

Island Hospitals Project, which will have such a positive impact on healthcare delivery in our region.”

The list of consortiums vying for the two-hospital project was whittled down from eight to three last October. The three selected

to bid are Arbutus Healthcare Partners, Plenary Health and Tandem Health Partners.

All three involve major build-ing, engineering and design firms with an extensive history of health care construction in

A pair of community-mindedvolunteers are planning to opena community-owned, and com-munity-operated animal shelterbut some residents have theirdoubts and would prefer to havethe SPCA back.

Campbell River’s Carol Chap-man, an SPCA volunteer formore than 10 years, and CyrielDeBruyne, manager of QualityFoods and who is deeply involvedin the community, have met withthe city and say they’ve beengiven the go ahead to resurrectthe shelter.

“We asked if we could have theold shelter, so we’re going to re-open the shelter,” Chapman said.“It’s officially called CampbellRiver Paws. We’re so excited. Atthe end of the day, for me, it’s allabout the animals.”

Chapman will be activelyrecruiting volunteers to fill thevoid left when the SPCA decidedto pull the plug on its CampbellRiver operations at the end ofMarch.

“I think it’s really positive forthe community to operate its ownshelter,” Chapman said.

The plan is to run the shelterwith all volunteers, with theexception of one paid staff, pos-sibly a former SPCA worker.The group, which will be dubbedCampbell River Paws, plans toshare the existing shelter withCoastal Animal Control, whichwill be in charge of animalenforcement. Campbell River

Eating a diet of nutrient-rich foods is very important. But if our bodies cannot break down food and absorb it, all that good food is literally going to waste. Enzymes in our digestive tract help process and extract nutrients from the foods we eat. The body’s inability to absorb nutrients, often due to a lack of enzymes, is the root of many diseases as well as premature aging.

Paws would be tasked with animal welfare.

Chapman said the city has offered two parcels of land – one on Homewood and one at the bottom of Merecroft Road – for the group to build its own shelter once it can raise the money.

The plan is to operate the shelter on dona-tions, including pet food, and fundraisers.

“The community always raised so much for the SPCA and I can’t see that falling off,” Chapman said. “We want anybody who wants to help. The com-munity is going to take ownership – it’s the only option we have. We have to be able to accept orphaned ani-mals.”

But veterinarian Helen Kwong is skepti-cal that a community-run shelter can work. First the local group would have to apply for non-profit status which could take up to 40 days.

Incorporation of the society would take another 40 days, and

receiving charitable status for the society would take another six to 18 months, accord-ing to Kwong. Then there’s the issue of insurance.

“Shelter insurance is very expensive because of the very real poten-tial of serious injury,” Kwong said. “If they want to run it properly with stainless steel cages, for cleanliness and sterility, budget another $4,000. Also, add staf fing costs because as lovely as volunteers are, they must be supervised by trained staff. If this is a no kill shelter, as lovely as it sounds, who will

make the decisions? If you have $1,000 in your budget for a month to spend on veterinary bills, who do you decide to treat?”

Campbell River resi-dent and SPCA sup-porter Karen Holden said she believes the community would best be served by the SPCA.

“ I b e l i eve t h a t Ms.Chapman is trying her best to avoid ani-mals being abandoned but this proposed shel-ter is only a quick fix and a temporary solu-tion,” Holden said. “The fact of the matter is we need to have the SPCA back.

“The population of Campbell River and the surrounding area is increasing and it is imperative that we have an organization that is qualified to take care of the animals.”

Holden is also con-cerned a community-run shelter will take much more time and money than antici-pated and questions how the group will be able to find enough qualified volunteers to operate such a facility.

The Comox Valley SPCA does not have the capacity to handle an influx of animals expected to come its way now that another agency is handling pound services at the Campbell River SPCA.

Campbell River coun-cil has awarded the pound services con-tract to Coastal Animal Services, which means the SPCA had to vacate the city-owned shelter.

“There’s going to be a glut of homeless animals in Campbell River,” SPCA spokes-person Lorie Chortyk

said. “It’s very likely a lot of those animals will need to be shel-tered at the Comox SPCA.”

The SPCA’s Drive for Lives program trans-fers about 5,000 ani-mals each year from overcrowded shelters to those with space.

Chortyk said home-

less animals in Camp-bell River will prob-ably be transferred to Nanaimo or Victoria.

In most communities, the SPCA owns the property. But in Camp-

bell River, the asso-ciation relied on the city’s contract, which allowed it to operate out of the shelter.

“When we have town contracts, it’s money

in, money out, so you’re not making money on the contract,” Chortyk said.

The contract enabled the SPCA to handle impounded dogs, stray

cats and other sur-rendered animals in Campbell River.

The new provider deals only with stray dogs and is open just an hour a day.

SPCA wants city to think twiceKRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The BC SPCA is formally requesting that city council reconsider its decision to award the animal impound contract to Coastal Animal Control Ser-vices.

Craig Daniell, BC SPCA chief executive officer, wrote a let-ter to the mayor and council on Thursday urging the city to change its mind.

“The BC SPCA is of the opin-ion that it is not too late for council to re-examine its origi-nal decision,” Daniell said. “It is apparent that our position is shared by an overwhelming majority of residents of the City of Campbell River.”

Upset the SPCA closed its local branch after the city awarded its animal control contract to Coastal Animal Control hun-dreds of residents rallied out-side of city hall last Wednesday to voice their displeasure.

The fallout from council’s decision is also spreading beyond Campbell River. Last Friday the chair of the Half-moon Bay Childcare Centre Society on the Sunshine Coast also wrote a letter to council

urging the mayor and council-lors to reconsider their decision to give Coastal Animal Control the animal shelter contract.

“Your decision to replace the BC SPCA with Coastal Animal Services suggests a knowledge gap that can be quickly and eas-ily remedied, but places your community at risk in the mean-time,” Anna MacNeil-Allcock, B.Sc, wrote. “The scientist in me sees this as a unique oppor-tunity to measure the positive impact of the BC SPCA, by tracking the problems that arise in their absence.

“However, I am sad to pre-dict that, based on scientific evidence, incidents of dog bite injuries will rise in Campbell River if the BC SPCA leaves. In one years’ time, hundreds of unaltered animals will become thousands. A growing animal population means greater risk of dangerous interactions between children and animals. What is the cost of one, two or three children bitten?”

Council elected awarded the city’s animal enforcement con-tract to Coastal Animal Control after it scored higher than the SPCA in the city’s bidding pro-cess.

Its score was based on experi-ence, references, and cost.

But Daniell is disputing thatCoastal Animal Control is thecheaper option.

“It would be our position thatCoastal’s offer on a per hourbasis is significantly higherthan that of the BC SPCA,” Dan-iell said. “It is our belief thatthe terms and conditions thatappear to have been given toCoastal Animal Services differsmarkedly from those offered tothe BC SPCA, to the point wherethe two offers cannot even beobjectively compared.”

A city report does reveal theSPCA was asked to give a quotefor just animal shelter servicesbut the city did not request aquote from Coastal for shelterservices alone.

Both were, however, askedto give a quote for combinedshelter and animal control ser-vices.

Coastal is expected to be paid$25,000 per year for city poundservices with a two per centincrease in year four and yearfive.

That contract was expected tobe officially awarded at Tuesdaynight’s council meeting afterthe Mirror went to press.

Catch yourself some amazing auction items in support of the Campbell River Hospital Foundation this Saturday dur-ing the live auction at the Ocean Pacific Marine and Boat Show.

The auction will take place between 1 and 2 p.m. with the boat show set to go from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m.

There will be more than 30 reps in attendance, so come and get the experts to answer your questions and get intro-duced to some new products.

Ocean Pacific Marine has generously donated a Travelift valued at $1,500 as well as an Airis Sport Kayak valued at $999.

Other donations for the auction have come from Storey Creek Golf Club, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Advanced Marine Power, Mussels & More, BC Ferries, CR Netloft, BC Salmon Farmers, Steve Marshall Ford, Stereo Fitness, Mainstream Biological Consulting and much more, includ-ing one year boat storage up to 35’ at Indoor Storage Solutions valued at over $2,800.

Funds from this year’s auction will go towards the purchase of an Argon Laser for Ophthalmology at the Camp-bell River Hospital.

North America.“We look forward to

seeing how the pro-ponents develop their visions for these two state-of-the-art facili-ties,” said Don Hub-bard, chair of the health authority.

T he contract is expected to be awarded in early 2014. Construc-tion will begin soon after, and the hospitals are expected to be com-pleted in 2017.

The North Island H o s p i t a l s P r o j e c t includes a 95-bed hos-pital in Campbell River and a 153-bed hospital in the Comox Valley.

The estimated capi-tal cost of $600 million ($266 million for the Campbell River Hospi-tal) will be a 60-40 split shared respectively by the province and the Comox Strathcona Regional Hospital Dis-trict. The hospitals will be built through a

private-public partner-ship with the winning bidder taking respon-sibility for the hospi-tals’ maintenance and upkeep for the next 30 years.

This week, site prep-aration work began in Campbell River as an excavator began clear-ing temporary parking spaces beside Yucalta Lodge on 2nd Avenue.

Quick facts■ The project will

create approximately 1,900 direct jobs and more than 1,400 indi-rect jobs.

■ All health-care ser-vices will continue to be funded by the B.C. government and deliv-ered by VIHA.

Campbell River’s Jacob Koomen knows he’s crazy.

But he’s also dedi-cated, passionate, committed and about to realize a life-long dream. The avid sports-man will ride with his sister in a cycling tour through his home country of the Nether-lands this summer.

At 65, Koomen rides his bike every work day from his home in Willow Point to the Marine Harvest office at Discovery Harbour and puts in 100 kilome-tres of cycling every weekend – on a whim he’ ll ride down to Parksville or Nanaimo for the day.

And he show no signs of slowing down.

In the next few months he’ll tackle the 360-kilometre IJs-selmeerronde tour through Holland and the Ride2Survive cycle tour in support of the Canadian Cancer Soci-ety – a one-day 400-kilo-metre trek from Kel-owna to Delta.

He’s also been talked into a shorter ride while he’s out of the

country.“When my brother

found out, he said that now that I was riding with my sister, ‘you have to do a ride with me’. So he signed me up for a 100-kilometre ride in Amsterdam, three days later,” Koomen says with a laugh. “Yeah, I know I’m crazy.”

Koomen’s Holand tour takes place May 9 – the national holiday to mark Jesus’ ascen-sion into heaven.

It took some deliber-ating, but Koomen will be the first resident outside of the Nether-lands allowed entry in the 69-rider tour.

“For me to do it is fairly unique,” Koomen said. “Even my 93-year-old dad can’t wait to see us.”

Koomen’s younger sister, Mieke Kroon, took part two years ago. Koomen was able to follow online through a Dutch radio station which provides live updates from the

tour. Koomen called in to request a song for his sister – Queen’s “Bicycle Race” – and the radio DJ was so impressed to get a call from Canada that he put Koomen through to his sister while the riders were taking a break at a rest stop.

“He asked me ‘do you ride yourself ’ and I said ‘I do and my dream is to ride with my sister,’ ” Koomen said.

The rest, as they say, was history, and Koomen applied and was accepted.

To prepare, Koomen will ride in the the gruelling Ride2Sur-vive on June 22 which takes riders through the scenic but hilly Coquihalla Highway on their journey from Kelowna to Delta in one day.

This will be Koomen’s second time in as many years riding in the tour, in which all donations raised by the riders goes to the Canadian Cancer Society for can-

cer research.Koomen recalls last

year’s challenges.“Just before Mis-

sion we hit a thun-derstorm,” Koomen said. “Branches were breaking off trees and the cops were clearing the street for us. It was windy and rainy and all you could do was think about who you were riding for.”

Koomen, who lost two co-workers to cancer within months of each other three years ago, as well as his wife Jan-nie’s brother in 2006, said it’s the people he’s lost which give him motivation.

Koomen needs to raise $2,500 to partici-pate in the tour. He’s already on his way, with $1,500 already raised.

Anyone who would like to support Koomen and help him reach his fundraising goal can make a donation in his name through the event’s website, www.ride2survive.ca

PAUL RUDANCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A man with a history of alcohol-related vio-lent offences can still drink, but not outside his residence.

Cameron Harry, 24, was given another chance to “clean up” when he received a four-month condi-tional sentence on Monday in Camp-bell River provincial court.

“ T h e joint sub-m i s s i o n ( by t h e C r o w n and the defence) m a k e s s e n s e i n t h e c i r c u m -stances,” said Judge Brian Saunderson.

Harry was arrested on the night of March 23, after RCMP were called to investigate an assault.

A bloodied and unco-operative victim was located by RCMP offi-cers who then found Harry nearby, walk-ing across the Cedar School playground.

The officer, who knew Harry from past incidents, noted a strong odour of liquor coming from Harry who was also carry-ing two unopened bot-tles of booze. Harry also had blood on his hands.

At a bail hearing on March 25, Harry attempted to explain that he was a friend of the victim and was attempting to get help at the nearby Campbell River Hospital, when he was arrested.

Harry was taken

into custody because he was on probation condition to not con-sume, or be impaired, by alcohol outside his residence.

Most of his run-ins with the law happen when he’s drunk. In the last six years, Harry has racked up six assault convictions, two for assault causing bodily harm, resist-ing arrest, pointing a firearm and 12 counts of breaching court

orders.At the

M a r c h 25 hear-ing, after learning that he would not b e g e t -ting bail, H a r r y suddenly changed

his plea to guilty on the breach of proba-tion charge.

But the judge held off sentencing until Harry came back to court with a plan on how he was going to deal with his alcohol-ism. The court heard that Harry was raised by alcoholic parents and began drinking at age 12.

During his recent time in custody, Harry has met with an addic-tions counsellor and wants to enter the Second Chance recov-ery house in Campbell River.

He was given a four-month conditional sentence to be served at home. During the first two months, he is bound by an 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew and is still allowed to drink inside his home, but not outside or any-where in public.

Judge tells problem alcoholic to drink at home

THEY SAID

IT: “The joint submission makes sense in the circum-stances.”

– Judge Brian Saunderson

BC Hydro crews were going flat out much of Monday to repair wind damage that caused power outages from south of Willow Point to north and west of Campbell-ton.

Wind gusting above 100 kilometres Sunday sent a tree crashing onto power lines downtown.

Campbell River Community Centre employees came to work Monday morning to find a cold and dark building.

The centre’s computer system was still idle Monday afternoon. The nearby Scotia-bank was in the dark much of the day.

In all there were more than 25 outages across the city affecting more than 700 cus-tomers.

Residents of the Quinsam Indian Reserve were also in the dark.Outages on Quadra and

Cortes islands affected more than 2,000 customers on Mon-day. More than 500 customers were still without power on the islands on Tuesday.

The Sunday storm also forced cancellation of Camp-bell River to Quadra and Quadra to Cortes ferry sail-ings. Cancellations on the two routes continued into Tuesday.

Elected officials want the Strath-cona Regional District to pay for some of their health benefits.

Jude Schooner, director repre-senting Tahsis, said she does not have Medical Services Plan (MSP) coverage and questioned why the regional district does not offer it as part of its group benefits pack-age.

“I’ve asked before and the answer I got was that most direc-tors already are covered by other organizations but others, such as myself, are not,” Schooner said at a board meeting March 28.

Tom Yates, acting chief adminis-trative officer of the regional dis-trict, said that while the director’s salary and financial policy men-tions MSP payments, nothing was ever set in stone.

“Although the wording of the cur-rent director remuneration bylaw suggests that it may have been intended in the past, the coverage of MSP premiums for directors does not appear to have ever been implemented for the Strathcona Regional District or its predeces-sor, Comox-Strathcona Regional

District.”Regional district staff, on the

other hand, do have MSP premiums paid for them by their employer.

Brenda Leigh, director for Area D (Oyster Bay-Buttle Lake), said staff and directors should reap much of the same benefits.

“Some of us are not covered at all by MSP,” Leigh said. “If our regional district staff are covered 100 per cent, then our directors should be covered.”

In B.C., MSP premiums must legally be paid by, or on behalf of, every resident.

Those who make $22,000 or less annually are not billed. For those with an annual income of $30,000 or more, monthly rates are $66.50 for one person, $120.50 for a fam-ily of two and $133 for a family of three or more, effective January 1, 2013.

Schooner wants regional district staff to look into the implications of having MSP premiums paid 50 per cent by the regional district and 50 per cent by each director.

The board is expected at Wednes-day’s meeting to make a decision on whether or not to include MSP premiums as part of the directors’ group benefits package.

News flash: Lower Mainland hospice soci-eties receive millions in funding from the Ministry of Health.

M e a n w h i l e , i n Campbell River, the city’s small hospice gets stiffed $5,000 by the Vancouver Island Health Authority.

“It’s very, very frus-trating,” says Valery

Puetz, board chair for the Campbell River Hospice Society.

On March 25, the Ministry of Health handed over $8 million for four hospice societ-ies in the Greater Van-couver area: Marion Hospice $2 million, Peace Arch Hospice $3 million, Canuck Place Children’s Hospice $2 million and Vancouver Hospice $950,000.

In contrast, the Camp-

bell River hospice, and two other Island societ-ies, each receive $5,700 in annual funding from the health authority.

As well, according to Puetz, they also receive an additional $5,000 which typically goes to programming. Last year, the health author-ity wanted hospice to promote its advanced care directive.

Simply put, the direc-tive is about people

m a k i n g i n fo r m e d decisions about their health while they’re still healthy and not sick or dying.

“That’s fine and we’re happy to do that, but the money’s been used and now there’s an expectation for us to do more with no money,” says Puetz.

She adds its diffi-cult to run a society on $5,700 and then be expected to do more.

One hurt in two accidents

Campbell River RCMP responded to a two-vehicle collision on the South Island Highway near Heard Road on Friday at 1:50 p.m.

A 25-year-old Courtenay woman, driving a blue 2006 Subaru, was stopped for a left-turning vehicle when a 2011 grey GMC pickup rear-ended her car.

She was taken by ambulance to Campbell River

Hospital with minor injuries. Her 32-year-old male passenger, also from Courtenay, was unhurt.

The 64-year-old Campbell River man driving the GMC pickup was issued a violation ticket for follow too closely.

Last Thursday, at 11 p.m., police responded to a two-vehicle collision on Rockland Road. A 1997 black Dodge pickup slid around a corner and struck a 2011 black Toyota van.

Heavy rain and wet roads contributed to the collision. No one was hurt and alcohol was not a factor.

Driver soughtMounties are

seeking the public’s assistance in locating the female driver of a copper-coloured or orange Ford SUV.

On Thursday, March 21, at 2:30 p.m., a male was pushing his bicycle across the marked crosswalk on 16th

Avenue by the Save On Foods parking lot at Mariner Square when a female was making a right turn out of the parking lot onto 16th Avenue.

The male said she looked left, but not right, turned and struck him.

The driver did stop and checked to see if he was okay, and then left. However, he didn’t realize he had injuries until he got home.

Police would like to speak with the female driver.

EDITOR: Alistair [email protected]

There are certain realities that come with the decision to live on an island, even so large an island as ours.

The impact of those realities — isolation, expensive, time-consuming travel, reduced access to goods and services — is felt many times more the smaller or more remote the island is.

The people of British Columbia should be in the business of

smoothing those issues, not dismissing them as solely being the problem of island-dwellers.

Traffic congestion is an issue solely for urban

dwellers, yet the province spends billions on Greater Vancouver’s bridges and rapid transit systems.

The folks in Kamloops, Prince George and parts farther north aren’t spending much time on the Coquihalla, yet that didn’t prevent the government of B.C. from investing transport trucks full of cash to give the people of the Okanagan a more direct link to the Fraser Valley.

As far as we are concerned the same spirit of courtesy and cooperation should be extended to the residents of the B.C. coast.

It has been said so often it has become a cliche, but it still bears repeating: the ferry system is part of B.C.’s highway system and it needs to be treated as

such.Eighty-five per cent of the cost of constant

upgrading of the Malahat is not being carried by the citizens of Nanaimo, Comox and Cowichan. Eighty-five per cent of the cost of building and maintaing Glenora Road is not on the shoulders of the residents of Glenora. Why should the residents of Penelakut and Thetis Island be paying such a high share of their only public transportation link?

By all means find ways to make the service more efficient. But transportation links are a provincial responsibility.

Stop unfairly targeting those who live on an island.– Black Press

Ferry fares need to be kept affordableOur ViewOur View

We say: Island transportation links province’s responsibility

I’m not a dog owner, I am a grandparent. Over the Easter weekend my grandchildren, ages 5 and 10, were visiting from Edmonton. Taking advantage of the gorgeous weather, we went for a walk on Satur-day morning. On the way home, we planned to stop at the little park on the Old Island Highway at Larwood Road to watch the ocean and talk about the tides. As we approached, I saw a large dog roaming the area – and no owner in sight. Perhaps the owner was down on the beach, however, the dog was definitely not “under con-trol” and had free access to the park, the sidewalk and the road. I was not about to approach the dog with young children in tow so, after waiting on the sidewalk for a few moments to see if the owner would appear, we continued home.

If such irresponsible dog owners are inconvenienced by having their pets impounded and their wallets light-ened, I’m all for it. Perhaps that will finally drive home the message that the rest of us also have the right to enjoy these public spaces which represent the fruits of our (tax-dollar) labor.

It’s still easy being Green in British ColumbiaThis is the first of a series of pol-

icy commentaries on the four main parties contesting the 2013 B.C. elec-tion.

I’m starting with the B.C. Green Party, which has higher than usual hopes for the 2013 election. It was also the first to put out a substantial policy document, albeit one that is still being debated and altered.

Green Book 2013 continues the Uto-pian positions that only a party with no chance of forming a government has the luxury to put forward. For example, they would double the area of parks in B.C., but take 100 years to do it.

Immediately, they would almost double the carbon tax, taking it from

seven to 12 cents on a litre of gaso-line.

Greens would extend this steeply increased carbon tax to industries such as natural gas and cement pro-duction. Leader Jane Sterk told me she expects cement producers and the like to adapt, rather than shut down as their competitive position erodes.

And what about the extra bil-lions in carbon tax revenues? Sterk says most should continue to go to income tax reductions, as is now the case, because the purpose is to change consumption patterns, not to increase overall tax revenue. Most, but not all.

“We think there is an argument to

be made for putting, for a period of time, the increased revenue from the carbon tax into creating the infra-structure that allows people to ben-efit from a carbon tax,” Sterk said.

That means transit, and potentially retrofits of homes and other build-ings as well. Tax increase aside, this is essentially the NDP position too.

The Greens emphasize wind and geothermal power. Sterk faces the awkward task of arguing against hydroelectric expansion.

A Green government would cancel the Site C dam project on the Peace River.

Sterk says it would only serve as a subsidy to liquefied natural gas exports, which she doesn’t believe

materialize as international competi-tors develop.

The Greens’ star candidate, Uni-versity of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver, agrees. Both point to vast reserves of Russian gas that may well get to Asia more quickly and cheaply.

Sterk said the 35,000 existing gas wells in northern B.C. “are not going to be shut down.” Actually, in the absence of LNG exports, that is exactly what would happen to many of them. The U.S. has its own shale gas supplies, and is B.C.’s only cur-rent export customer.

Converting transport trucks and BC Ferries to LNG fuel isn’t going

to maintain the vast industry blooming in northern B.C.

The official Green Party position is to place a moratorium on B.C. gas drilling while a comprehensive water use policy is devel-oped.

Cur rent innova-

tions such as reusing municipal wastewater are ignored.

The Green platform also demands disclo-sure of chemicals used in hydraulic fractur-ing, which the B.C. Oil and Gas Commission has already done.

If one were to design a self-fulfilling proph-

ecy that B.C.’s LNG project is doomed to fail, the Green Party platform would be a good place to start.

Reading through Green Book 2013, I’m left with the impres-sion that much of it remains calculated as a soothing message for urban voters who have

been convinced it’s courageous to drive their cars down to an anti-tanker protest.

If Weaver, Sterk or any other Greens get elected, it will be surf-ing a wave of protest votes from people weary of the B.C. Lib-erals and the NDP.

It will not be due to

the practicality or even internal consistency of their polices.

It’s still pretty easy being Green.

Fletcher: Greens lack practicality and consistency

The recent release of a report by the BC Auditor General has led to a vigorous debate on the future of carbon neutral government.

As a seller of carbon credits to the Pacific Carbon Trust, the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) looks forward to any clarity that may result in the B.C. carbon market. However, a recent edi-torial in this newspa-per (“Carbon Trust orchestrates campaign to discredit report” by Tom Fletcher, April 3 Mirror), perpetuates

factual errors that fail to inform any debate.

Acquisition of a con-servation project is the beginning of our work, not the end. When NCC purchased Darkwoods in 2008, our expensive, long-term commitment to the conservation lands began. From the outset, revenue from carbon sales was seen as critical to support-ing this stewardship effort. Without the pos-sibility of carbon sales NCC could not have undertaken a project of the size and scope of Darkwoods. Yet,

those facts are conve-niently overlooked by Mr. Fletcher.

Further he fails to understand the base-line used to calculate stored carbon at Dark-woods. Independent evaluations were not based on the possibility of NCC clear-cutting the property, but rather on what would have happened had NCC not acquired Darkwoods. The alternative to NCC ownership was acquisi-tion by a market-based buyer. The land would have been intensively logged and subdi-

vided. The difference between that scenario and the current con-served property forms the basis for carbon valuation.

Mr. Fletcher asks, rhetorically if NCC would have logged Darkwoods. “Legally, it could not,” he writes. On the contrary, NCC does log the Dark-woods site. We operate a small, sustainable harvest based on con-servation values that supports the property and the community. In fact, overall our owner-ship of Darkwoods has

resulted in a $13 mil-lion economic benefit to the community, to date.

The Darkwoods For-est Carbon project was the first of its kind undertaken in Canada. The project is certified under the Verified Car-bon Standard; a stan-dard that ensures a carbon project follows internationally-rec-ognized protocols and has tangible environ-mental benefits. The Nature Conservancy of Canada spent three years developing the

More importantly, Darkwoods is a world-class conservation project. Without revenuefrom forest carbon, the long-term protectionof this vital 55,000 hectare property and thefate of animals and plants that find a haventhere would be in jeopardy.

A Campbell River-based conservation officer has been rec-ognized for 20 years of service.

James Hilgemann was one of 10 B.C. con-servation officers who

recently received the Peace Officer Exem-plary Service Medal. The medals were pre-sented in Vancouver by Lt. Governor Judith Guichon and Environ-ment Minister Terry

Lake.“Each officer works

hard to protect our e nv i r o n m e n t a n d reduce human-wildlife conflicts,” said Lake. “Congratulations to those members of the

Conservation Officer Service awarded with this great honour. These officers have demonstrated excel-lence, courage and exceptional dedication to the service.”

The medal recog-nizes peace officers who have completed 20 years of exemplary service. Hilgemann has worked in several diverse environments.

He has spent 16 years

as a conservation offi-cer in Haida Gwaii and currently serves in Campbell River, where he lives with his family. The Ministry of Envi-ronment’s Conserva-tion Officer Service is

the primary responder to human-wildlife con-flicts where there is a risk to public safety, conservation concerns or where significant property damage has occurred.

The Campbell River Arts Council invites the community to cel-ebrate Sybil Andrews Day on Friday, April 19 from 1:30-4:30 p.m., at the Willow Point Cottage, 2131 South Island Highway.

Declared by the City in 2007, April 19 is offi-cially Sybil Andrews Day.

Born in Bury St. Edmunds, Eng-land, April 19, 1898, Andrews was a gradu-ate of the Grosvenor School of Art, an institution world famous for its promo-tion of Futurism.

Andrews was an early practitioner of linocut print-ing, a controversial

medium championed by the Grosvenor School. She moved with her husband Walter Morgan to Campbell River in 1947, where she lived up until her death in 1992.

She taught art and music in her home for over 40 years.

Today her linocut prints are sought after internationally and have reached record prices.

The Sybil Andrews Cottage was the first property on Camp-bell River’s Heritage Registry. On April 19, beginning at 1:30 p.m., the Sybil Andrews Heritage Society will host the community at

the Cottage. The Ripple Rock

Children’s Choir will perform from 1:30-1:50 p.m.

At 2 p.m., Michele Sirett will give a pre-sentation on behalf of the City. At 2:30, the Arts Council’s Executive Director Ken Blackburn will unveil the new Inter-pretive Panel of Sybil Andrews and Walter Morgan, followed by a short talk on Sybil’s legacy. And at 3 p.m. the Mayor will offi-cially cut the cake in honour of Sybil’s birthday. Coffee and tea will be served.

Call the Arts Coun-cil at 923-0213 for more information.

Reservations at some of Vancouver Island’s top restaurants are fill-ing up fast, in anticipa-tion of “Dining Out For Life” – a fundraising event supporting AIDS Vancouver Island on April 25.

More than 80 restau-rants, up and down Vancouver Island, have signed up to donate 25 per cent of their food sales which, along with donations, are expected to raise more than $40,000 in support of people living with and at-risk for HIV/AIDS on Vancouver Island.

“Many restaurants have told us reserva-tions for April 25 are already coming in, so we are encouraging diners who are hungry for a new restaurant experience, or who want to support their favourite restaurant, to be sure to make res-

ervations” says James Boxshall of AIDS Van-couver Island.

In Campbell River, Fusilli Grill, Royal Coachman Inn and the Salmon Point Restau-rant & Pub will donate a quarter of their sales on April 25 .

The full list of par-ticipating restaurants is posted at www.din-ingoutforlife.com/van-couverisland , with many establishments of fering breakfast, lunch and dinner in support of the event.

Diners who par-ticipate on April 25th will also have an opportunity to win a prize package includ-ing a night for two at the Chateau Victoria and a $750 voucher at Expedia Cruiseship centres.

Other prizes will be given away on the event’s Facebook page , for diners who post

memorable photos of the event online. Orga-nizers are also using Twitter to promote the event, with the hashtag #DOFLVI.

Donations to AIDS Vancouver Island will also be encouraged, to support the organiza-tion’s food and educa-tion programs across the Island.

“The support we receive from Dining Out For Life means the world to us and helps us to sustain the work we do, feeding people and educating them to stay HIV free. Every donation counts,” says Katrina Jensen, execu-tive director.

AIDS Vancouver Island provides sup-port and prevention programs across Van-couver Island, with offices in Victoria, Nanaimo, Courtenay, Campbell River and Port Hardy.

Waterfowl and fish have more in common than you might think, and that’s why Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) and Marine Harvest Canada (MHC) have signed a memorandum of understand-ing to work together to pro-tect important habitat.

The partnership allows for information, education and equipment sharing, coopera-tive investigation and consul-tation, and technical assis-tance to increase the capacity for restoration of wetlands in and around the Georgia Basin.

“This partnership takes full advantage of our shared expertise and concern for wetland habitat”, says Les Bogdan, director of regional operations for DUC BC and boreal. “It’s a great opportu-nity to have fish and wildlife

work together. Areas that are important to waterfowl are important to fish too, so these joint projects will be able to have an even greater benefit to the environment.”

The MOU spans five years and will include partnerships on things like choosing con-servation projects that are beneficial to the goals of both organizations, sharing staff resources for tasks like bird counting and identification, and also MHC’s involvement in some of DUC’s fundraising dinners in the area.

“We are very pleased to partner with DUC and looked forward to many years of important collaboration,” says Vincent Erenst, Manag-ing Director at MHC. “Our business of growing salmon relies on maintaining a healthy coastal environment,

and that objective aligns well with the values at DUC.”

Marine Harvest Canada (MHC) is BC’s leading salmon aquaculture company with 500 staff raising and process-ing sustainable salmon certi-fied to the Global Aquaculture Alliance Best Aquaculture Practices. MHC Canada pro-duces one-half of British Columbia’s largest agricul-tural export - farm-raised salmon. marineharvestcan-ada.com

Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) is the leader in wetland conservation. A registered charity, DUC partners with government, industry, non-profit organizations and land-owners to conserve wetlands that are critical to waterfowl, wildlife and the environment. Learn more at ducks.ca.

Ask the Dentist

Answer: There are several ways to address crooked front teeth, but it depends on the degree of crowding. Severe crowding is often best treated with orthodontics (braces) to straighten the teeth. Moderate to mild crowding can also be treated with Invisalign, which utilizes clear trays that are custom made and move teeth gradually and gently. This canbe done at your family dental offi ce.

Another way to change the appearance of teeth is with composites. These are tooth-coloured resin fi llings that are bonded to repair decayed, chipped, fractured, or discoloured teeth. They can also be used to close spaces between teeth, make teeth look longer, or change the shape or colour of teeth. They usually last several years, depend on how much bonding was done and oral/biting habits.Other options include porcelain veneers and crowns. These are thin layers of porcelain that are placed and bonded to prepared teeth. They can be used in situations where one wishes to change the shape, colour, or overall appearance of his or her teeth. They are very lifelike and can last for many years with proper care.In order to fi nd out which treatment would work best for you, please speak to your dentist, or call us for an exam or free Invisilign consultation.If you have a question you would like answered please email [email protected]

TAURUSThis is the time of year when it’s easy to catch a cold or fl u when you’re tired. After all your herculean efforts this week, it will be important to take time to recuperate.

GEMINIEven though you are a very sociable sort of person, you need to get away on your own sometimes. This is especially true when you’re surrounded by people who are stressed out.

CANCERTime is a precious commodity for many people and you’re no exception to the rule. You have to work twice as hard this week to fi nish everything you’ve started.

LEOYou could very well start to organize a trip, either as a couple or with friends. You also make some changes at home, even if it’s only to move the furniture around.

VIRGOYou’ll have to use a bit of push and shove to succeed professionally this week. Affl uence is in the stars for you, but so is a bit of stress!

LIBRAYou have to make a few compromises before coming to an understanding that suits you. Justice is on your side in the settling of an ongoing question.

SCORPIOThere is lots of work coming up for you. You might be offered a job with the competition. You’ll feel a bit torn and will have to refl ect on your personal and professional integrity.

SAGITTARIUSYour zodiac sign is one of joyful living and optimism. You show this side of yourself to advantage as you diffuse tensions and make people laugh with a few well-timed jokes.

CAPRICORNThere’s sure to be lots to do at home or with the family. You are a naturally responsible person and you give priority to your loved ones.

AQUARIUSYou say just the right things to distinguish yourself and assert your point of view. Some travelling is to be expected, especially if you have a new car.

What is the First Time Donor’s Super Credit?In the 2013 Federal Budget there was a small tax incentive for fi rst time charitable donors called the “First-Time Donor’s Super Credit” or FDSC. Starting in the 2013 taxation year, the budget proposes to introduce a temporary non-refundable FDSC that will supplement the Charitable Donations Tax Credit for individuals. This new credit effectively adds 25% to the rates used in the calculation of the original tax credit for up to $1,000 of monetary donations. As a result, a fi rst-time donor will be allowed a 40% federal credit for donations of $200 or less, and a 54% federal credit for the portion of donations over $200 but not exceeding $1,000.

For more information speak to your fi nancial advisor or contact the Canada Revenue Agency.

PARTS & FULL SERVICE

I’m afraid I’ll buy a hot tub and never use it. How often do people use them?

Once you buy a hot tub or spa, it may well become an integral part of your lifestyle. Many people use their spas in the evening, before bed. Because spas relax you, relieve tired muscles and aching joints, and ready your body for sleep, they are excellent sleep aids. Hot tubs are also wonderful family entertainment. Consumer research indicates that parents spend real quality time with their kids in their hot tubs. It’s a chance to relax together, talk, and do something besides sit on the couch and watch television. Spas are also great in social settings and it’s great for personal one-on-one time with your spouse or signifi cant other. Once your spa or hot tub is installed and set-up, it’s simple to use. You just pull back the cover, turn on the jets, sink in, and relax. We believe that one massage session will be enough to convince you to use it regularly.

What are the risks involved with being an Executor?

As an Executor, you are responsible for ensuring that all estate matters are handled correctly. Among other things you are required to ensure that all creditors, including government taxes are paid. If you distribute the assets and subsequently any creditors come up, you will be personally liable to pay for them. Further, you are required to make sure that you follow the instructions in the Will. If a benefi ciary loses his/her entitlement because of the Executor’s actions; that benefi ciary can claim the loss from the Executor. Personal claims against the Executor are not uncommon. Information provided in this article is general in nature and not comprehensive. Please consult a legal professional about your specifi c circumstance.

To avoid extensive costs and legal complications, be sure to have your affairs in order. Preparing Wills, Powers of Attorney, and estate planning are some of the services we provide.

Is now a good time to apply Nematodes for Rhodos?

One of the most persistent outdoor garden pests is the Rhodo Weevil, which is part of the root weevil family. Larvas are whitish grubs with black heads. In the larval stage, the weevil grubs chew on roots and soft tissue of plants along soil surface. As adults, weevils chew on leaves and new growth. Leaves attacked by weevils have jagged edges. Growth can be prohibited, as year after year new growth is damaged. Weevils overwinter in the larval stage, yet turn to pupae as soon as the soil warms up in mid April-early May. By end May-early June, weevils turn to adults where they do the most damage. By then, it is too late to kill them with nematodes.

The ideal time to treat for weevils is during the larval (grub) stage so apply Outdoor Nematodes (Lawn + Garden Combo) in late March-early April. As soon as the soil temperature reaches 10 degrees or above, nematodes will be active in the soil. To apply nematodes, soil must be moist before and after application. Nematodes are light sensitive (UV exposure kills them) so early in the morning or after sunset is when nematodes are best applied. In areas where there is a heavy weevil infestation, it is benefi cial to do two applications of nematodes, two weeks apart.

Call to place your order, and allow one business day for delivery.

Can laughter heal? Everyone has heard the old adage that “laughter is the best medicine.” In fact, studies have shown that laughing can boost the immune system, reduce food cravings and increase one’s threshold for pain. It’s even known in a therapeutic setting to assist in the healing process of people with chronic conditions. If you can’t remember, then maybe it’s time to bring more laughter into your life! Here are some tips that might just get you feeling young at heart.• Laugh With Friends: Going to a movie or comedy club with friends is a great way to get more laughter in your life. • Find Humor In Your Life: Instead of complaining about life’s frustrations, try to laugh about them. If something is so frustrating or depressing it’s ridiculous, realize that you could ‘look back on it and laugh’• Fake It Until You Make It: Just as studies show the positive effects of smiling occur whether the smile is fake or real, faked laughter also provides the benefi ts mentioned above.

Tips

THREE TRUTHS ABOUT DOGS

“A TIRED DOG IS A GOOD DOG”

Give your dog the exercise he needs, and he will spend much of his day resting – not chewing, barking, digging, escaping or destroying things.

“YOUR REACTIONS AFFECT YOUR DOG’S

ACTIONS”If you allow your dog to be rewarded for some action, he’s likely to repeat it. Consciously allow rewards to happen for actions you like, and prevent your dog from getting rewarded by you or the environment for actions you don’t want to encourage.

“DOGS DO WHAT WORKS”Dogs will act in ways that they’ve learned are successful, ways that gain them good things and help them avoid bad things. Behavior that is rewarded is going to be repeated.

Dr. Kevin Lathangue

250.287.7343150 Dogwood St.,


I’ve recently been diagnosed with uncontrolled diabetes and my doctor suggested I see my dentist. Why?

Diabetes affects many Canadians each year ~ it can lower your resistance to infection & can slow the healing process.

The most common oral health problems associated with diabetes are tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease which leads to tooth loss.

When diabetes is not controlled properly, high sugar levels in saliva may help bacteria thrive. Plaque that is not removed can eventually harden (calcify) into calculus. When calculus collects above the gumline, it cannot be removed by brushing. This can create conditions that lead to chronic infl ammation and infection in the mouth.

Periodontal disease often is linked to the control of diabetes. For example, patients with inadequate blood sugar control appear to develop periodontal disease more often and more severely, and they lose more teeth than do people who have good control of their diabetes.

Brushing twice a day with fl uoride toothpaste, cleaning once a day between your teeth with fl oss and seeing your dentist regularly for an exam will help you to maintain your overall health.

Thinking of Getting aNew Piercing?

Did you know that getting a piercing with a stud gun causes unnecessary damage and pain to your new piercing? The spring loaded gun is forcing an earring through your body. This will cause much more trauma, swelling and pro-long the healing. The earring is also one size fi ts all, we are not all size fi ts all. Also the gun can not be sterilized, it only can be sprayed down with antiseptic cleaners. These cleaners will not stop the spread of all blood borne pathogens. A piercing needle is sharp and quick causing much less trauma. The piercing needles are one use. The tools to do the piercing are autoclaved like surgical instruments. This stops all risk of passing diseases. Also the jewelry that is used is made of the same metal used for surgical implants and is picked to fi t and accommodated for swelling and body size. With jewelry matched to the size of the needle you have ideal healing conditions to minimize healing time.

Easter Lilies & Our Feline Friends The garden shops and grocery stores are full of gorgeous lilies we love for adding color and decor to our homes, but they may also attract our curious four legged friends, and encourage them to take a closer look. Is this beautiful fl ower “safe” for our family cat to accidentally demolish? The answer is no. The Easter lily, tiger lily, stargazer lily, Japanese show lily, Asian lily, some species of day lily, and certain other members of the Liliaceae family can be fatal if ingested by a cat. All parts of these plants are considered toxic to cats and ingestion of even a tiny amount can cause severe poisoning. Within only a few hours of ingestion, the cat may vomit, become lethargic, or develop a lack of appetite. These signs continue and worsen as kidney damage progresses. Without prompt and proper treatment, the cat will develop kidney failure in approximately 36 to 72 hours. If you suspect your cat has potentially eaten any part of your lilies, please seek your Family Veterinarian immediately. Don’t hesitate to call even if symptoms have not developed. If you are unsure about your household plants, curious which plants you can keep and which are toxic, please call your Veterinarian; don’t trust Dr. Google.

Do I have to pay GST? With regards to real estate transactions, prior to April 1, 2013 12% HST was payable on new construction, new land, homes that had been substantially renovated and services related to the purchase and sale of Real Estate. As of April 1st BC made the change back to the GST/PST system. With this change you will now only pay 5% GST instead of 12% HST. However there will be a 2 year transition period where an additional 2% transition tax will apply to homes that were 10% or more completed by April 1st, 2013 and where ownership or possession of these homes takes place before April 1st 2015. If you have any questions about this or would like to know about any GST rebates that you may qualify for call Jenna 250.204.6822.

Your pond gets “green” for many reasons; nitrates, pollen, and heat to name a few. There are several ways to prevent algae and to treat it.

Preventing algae growth is simple; 10% water changes weekly with Laguna Water Prep to remove chlorine and neutralize heavy metals, using barley straw pellets every 3 months, Laguna Biobooster to increase your good bacteria along with Laguna Biosludge to break down sludge at the bottom of the pond and fi nally Laguna UV sterilizers which kill single celled algae (causes the green pea soup look) All simple ways to prevent algae overgrowth and give you a beautiful serene pond.

Algae...a topic that never gets old

ReachOut Psychosis will be touring high schools and middle schools on Vancou-ver Island April 15-18, including Southgate Middle School in Campbell River, 8:10 a.m. on Wednesday, April 17.

T he tour raises awareness about psy-chosis and mental ill-ness. ReachOut Psycho-sis makes this message meaningful to B.C.’s youth with free school presentations.

By identifying psy-chosis as a serious, but treatable medical condition of the brain, this program works to help youth and their friends and teachers recognize it early and get effective help. If properly diagnosed at early stages, medi-cal treatment has the ability to not just turn

young lives around, but to save lives. Teen sui-cide statistics related to youth mental illness are staggering.

Perfor mances by the popular Vancouver band Proud Animal and comedy by Barbara Adler are interspersed with playful interac-tive psychosis infor-mation and tons of prizes from our spon-sors to help educate young people about psychosis. Mike Young from the band speaks personally about how psychosis affected his life.

Re a c h O u t i s a dynamic and highly effective performance touring the province since 2005, perform-ing in gyms and audi-

toriums to more than 22,000 students annu-ally. It was performed to to its 100,000th youth audience member last year. ReachOut is a program of the BC Schizophrenia Society and HereToHelp. The presentation provides resources and infor-mation for friends, siblings, teachers and parents.

“It exposed them to a lot of information which the students wouldn’t nor mally talk about in a manner which was just acces-sible and appropriate to their kind of think-ing and their way of seeing the world,” said Andrew Scholfield, Vice Principal, Kwant-lan Park Secondary.

Darlene GaratFinancial Advisor

I have no spouse or children to protect so why do I need life insurance?

For the same reason you should have a will. Final expenses such as taxes and funerals still happen even if there is no immediate family. Should something happen to you, a parent or close friend will likely have to deal with the arrangements and the expenses. You may have property to sell that will eventually cover costs but that takes time and the CRA isn’t always patient. Having no spouse to roll property to (for tax effi ciency) means the CRA can take a bigger bite, and without life insurance, those closest to you may end up cleaning up a big fi nancial mess, and possibly paying out of their own pocket for associated costs.

What isan RDSP?

An RDSP is a Registered Disability Savings Plan. If you fulfi ll the criteria, an RDSP is an excellent way to save for the future. Depending on income the government may deposit a Disability Savings Bonds and/or Disability Savings Grants to help the plan grow. The investment income earned in the plan accumulates tax-free. Plus, in BC, when the benefi ciary of an RDSP starts taking income from it, there are no clawbacks to disability or government assistance payments. These can be complicated to set up, but well worth the effort. Contact our offi ce for more information and to see if you qualify.

A Story of WonderlandUrban Dance Connection’s Performance Team presents, “Our Alice - A Story of Wonderland” at the Tide-

mark Theatre on Sunday, April 21 at 4 p.m. Our Alice will be performed by the award winning UDC Perfor-

mance Team ranging in age from 5-18 years old. The dancers will tell Alice’s story as their own and will

entertain with fun twists and surprises. This is a fun family show with a story line that even the youngest

audience members will follow. Tickets are available at the Tidemark Theatre Box Office.

Celebrate the writ-ten word, music and good food this Friday as Still Water Books and Art invites you to hear Lily Hoy Price read from her book, I am Full Moon - Stories of a Ninth Daughter starting at 7 p.m., at Uptown Willie’s.

She will delight you with her stories of growing up in a thriv-ing immigrant family of 12 in Quesnel, Brit-ish Columbia in the early 1900’s.

Described as a mem-oir like no other, it naturally illumines Chinese culture, the immigrant experi-ence, and her own thoughts and feelings.

As well, Corey

Spetafore, a provincial award-winning musi-cian, will be play-

ing classical guitar.You are invited to

hear up-and-coming authors from Camp-bell River read from their new works, and you are invited to bring your own writ-ing and read a short selection.

There will be books on sale from 4 p.m. and throughout the evening, a supper spe-cial of Fish and Chips at $9.88 between 6 and 7, with the evening program starting a 7 p.m.

Cost for the evening is $5 at the door. Con-tact Trevor or Ruth McMonagle at 923-1374 or [email protected] for further information.

Two musical works will be performed

in Campbell River to highlight important social issues.

Hands Across the Divide will tackle themes of racism and cultural conflict on Sunday, April 21 at the Campbell River United Church and later in Courtenay.

What happens when a renowned Canadian poet is drawn to con-front the Canadian tragedy of first con-tact between Euro-pean and Aboriginal cultures?

He writes a radio play in the 1950’s

which is unfor-tunately not well received and it fades into history.

And when, 30 years later, the Vancouver Centennial Commit-tee commissioned a rising young modern composer to write a piece to celebrate the city – he took that radio play as the basis for the lyrics to draw attention to the still unresolved impacts of that contact.

Song of the Salish Chief by Vancouver composer Peter Bjer-ring, with lyrics by Earle Birney, is the cantata that arose from this unique col-

laboration. It conveys the stories of a Salish chief, told to his son, about the time before first contact. It tells of what has been lost through that experi-ence.

The story is seen through the eyes of a young man, from the time his father was chief, until the time the young man becomes chief. The text will be narrated by Andrew Callicum, a member of the Mowachaht Mucha-laht First Nation, cur-rently working in Port Alberni for the Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council.

The music and text depict the early journeys of the Sal-ish people, the weav-ing of baskets by the women, the joys and excitement of a successful hunt, the chief ’s first potlatch (a ceremonial feast among first nations of the northwest Pacific coast) and, finally, the sadness of watching his longhouses burn and the tragic demise of his nation.

Bjerring’s music takes the cadences from the rhythms and textures of the old man’s life. As a youth, the chief watches with awe as the new-

comers makes “slaves of waterfall, and magic from the souls of rocks,” but he also lives to witness the white man enslaved, in turn, by his own technologies. The chief ’s reverie turns to the serenity of his childhood and his people’s traditions.

The text and the music combine to tell a difficult story that that is sometimes hard for the dominant culture to hear.

And yet it is the same story that has been told many times in BC’s his-tory. Beginning with

Two strong choral works address issues of racism and hate speech

Andrew Callicum will narrate Song of the Salish

Chief that will involve local choirs in performances

in Campbell River and the Comox Valley.

PICK UP YOURS TODAY!Available at over 300 locations in Campbell River Courtenay & the Comox Valley! Including...

the Chilcotin War in the Stein Valley in 1864 and including the defence of Athlii Gwaii (mapped as Lyell Island) in the southern Haida Ter-ritory in 1985. Guu-jaaw, President of the Haida National Council explained the underlying reasons for the occupation and logging blockade of Athlii Gawaii in a 1992 CBC Ideas episode,

“We wanted to make it real clear that our culture is our relationship to the land. That’s where

our songs come from, that’s where our lan-guage comes from, and the dances are all about the creatures that we share this land with. And so we brought our songs back to the land to express exactly who we are in relation to the land.”

The spiritual and cultural identity of First Nations are rooted in this relation-ship to the land in ways that are some-times hard for west-ern European cultures to understand and comprehend. This

has often resulted in conflict between First Nations and settler culture in BC.

The results of these conflicts often feed and nurture attitudes of racism. This con-

cert is part of the ongoing process of trying to build bridges across that divide in our understanding.

The work will be presented by the com-bined voices of Island Voices Chamber Choir and Cantiamo Cham-

ber Ensemble, con-ducted by Dr. Graeme Langager, professor of conducting and direc-tor of choral activities at the UBC Faculty of Music.

The Hands Across the Divide concert will be performed twice. Opening night is Sun-day, April 21 at 7 p.m. in Campbell River United Church.

The second perfor-mance is at the Sid Williams Theatre on Monday, April 22 at 7 p.m.

The second work in this concert is a dramatic contrast – it is a classically-based choral work following the traditional catho-lic mass text. Missa Pax was composed by another Vancouver

composer, Timothy Corlis.

While the text is traditional, the score conveys the strong message that peace between diverse cul-tures and peoples requires understand-ing and acceptance of differences… dif-ferences that convey the beauty within that diversity.

Composed in 2009, the Missa Pax has already established a strong track record with mid-concert ovations both at the Elora Festival and at the prestigious Fes-tival of the Sound. Reviewer Steven Preece described the piece after its pre-mier as “conjuring of heavenly radiance”, “fantastically cathar-tic”, and possessing an “emotional authen-ticity irresistible to the listener.”

Tickets for the con-cert in Campbell River are available for $15 from Coho Books, the Immigrant Wel-come Centre/MISA at 740 Robron, or from the Campbell River United Church office.

The good news for seniors -- you receive a variety of tax assisted bene ts and tax credits from the federal government that are not available to others. The not-so-good-news is that these bene ts are income-tested and that can result in clawbacks from Old Age Security (OAS) payments and the Age Credit.

OAS is a monthly bene t available to most Canadians age 65 or older. You will be required to repay 15% of the amount by which your net income for 2012 – which includes your OAS bene t – exceeds $69,562. When your net income exceeds $112,966, your entire OAS bene t is clawed back.

Age Credit is a non-refundable tax credit available to Canadians age 65 or older. For 2012, the maximum amount you can claim as an Age Credit is $6,720. This amount is reduced by 15% of your net taxable income in excess of $33,884 is totally gone when your taxable income reaches $78,684.

You can avoid OAS and Age Credit clawbacks by keeping your taxable income to the absolute minimum required to meet your needs. Here

are some strategies for doing just that.

• Pension income splitting You can allocate up to 50% of ‘eligible pension income’ – including payments from your investments held within a Registered Pension Plan (RPP) (at any age) and Registered Retirement Income (RRIF) (at/after age 65) to your lower earning spouse, which usually reduces your family’s overall tax bill and clawbacks.

• Other income-splitting strategies You can gift or loan assets to your spouse for investment purposes, contribute to investments held within a spousal RRSP (if your spouse is under age 71), and/or change who pays for daily living expenses and who invests.

• Withdraw the minimum for your RRIF Withdrawals from investments held within a RRIF are fully taxable, so consider withdrawing only the minimum each year. If you have a younger spouse, base your withdrawals on their age – this will produce a smaller minimum withdrawal.

Invest in TFSAs Contributions to Tax-Free Savings Accounts (“TFSA”) generate tax-free investment income. TFSA withdrawals

are not taxable, so do not result in clawbacks.

• Seek non-registered investments that offer preferential tax treatment Only 50% of the capital gains generated by equity investments are taxable income, which may result in less of your income being subject to clawbacks. Another strategy to consider is tax-advantaged or switch funds that allow you to buy and sell investments without paying capital gains taxes until you leave the fund structure – so you can choose to defer tax payments to a year when your income is lower.

The right strategies can de nitely help you avoid clawbacks, reduce your tax burden and preserve your wealth. But to avoid falling afoul of complex tax rules, talk to your professional advisor rst.

PAUL RUDAN/THE MIRRORPerfect hair...always!Kerry Fraser was always known as one of the best referees in the National Hockey League, but he was better known for his immaculate coiffure. Now

retired from reffing the big boys, Fraser was in Campbell River on Monday night to officiate the charity hockey match between the NHL Oldtimers and the

local Law Enforcement club. The undermanned Law Enforcement team weren’t much of a match for the Oldtimers which included Hall of Famers Bryan Trot-

tier and Glenn Anderson. Even a couple lopsided trades didn’t help the Cops who fell 17-12...or something like that. See more photos on Page A31.

The city is forecasting a $3.6 million budget shortfall for 2012, according to preliminary fig-

ures.That’s up substantially from the last estimated budget deficit of $550,000 back in December.The picture looks bleaker now because of a change in the prop-

erty assessment value of the defunct Catalyst mill site. The BC Assessment Authority announced early last month that Catalyst no longer meets the requirements of a major industrial property, and

has been reclassified as business/other, which means a significant reduction in Catalyst’s property taxes.That decision results in a loss of $1.8 million in tax revenue for

2012. Included in the deficit is a $1.1 million tax shortfall carried over from 2011, plus a $1.3 million increase in costs related to con-tract commitments and inflation-ary increases, said Laura Ciarn-iello, the city’s general manager of corporate services.If the city were to maintainthe current level of services it provides to citizens, the tax rate would have to increase by 24 per cent in order to make up the $3.6 million.

The loss of $1.8 million fromCatalyst alone, equates to a 12 per cent residential tax increase.To put that into perspective, Ciarniello said a one per cent res-idential tax increase would bring in $150,000 in revenue for the city. That one per cent increase would mean roughly $12 more per year in property taxes for the average homeowner.

The city’s operating budget isapproximately $37 million which

The seventh race in the Frontrunners Island Race Series, the Merville 15K, took place last Sunday. Hosted by the River Runners of Campbell River, the race was won by Nick Walker. There were 345 finish-ers.

Walker (Frontrun-ners) of Victoria put in an impressive per-formance to win in 50:12.

Second was Derek Vinge (PT Perfor-mance Training) in 51:19 and third was Campbel l River ’s

Mark Cryder man (River Runners) in 51:29. Cryderman was also the top male Mas-ter.

“The race went very well for me,” Walker said. “I wanted to hold a steady pace that I could keep my turn-over quick and not stress the body too much. I am training for my first marathon coming up on May 5 in Vancouver and wanted to get another strong effort in my last couple weeks of train-ing. I was really happy with my time and how

I felt, and am looking forward to Sooke 10K in two weeks.”

The women’s race was won by Cheryl Davies of Nanaimo (Bastion Running Club) in 1:02:43, second was Jayne Struch in 1:03:29, and third was Lindsey Chamberlain in 1:03:33. Top female Master was Yanna Debelic in 1:04:48. The men’s sprint race was won by Jerry Loeb in 11:46 with Allison Roberts winning the female sprint in 14:87.

“We were favoured by the weather and

good race conditions,” said Linda Nagle, race director. “There were some great perfor-mances today includ-ing an age group record set by Diane Palmason in the F75-79 category. She broke a 10 year record and was faster by nine minutes, finishing in 1:42:19.”

After seven races Prairie Inn Harriers lead the Island Series club standings, with Bastion Running Club second and Comox Valley Road Runners third. With one race

to go Geoff Martinson and Jen Millar lead the individual stand-ings.

Eight races make up the Frontrunners Island Race Series. Merville 15K will be followed by the final race - Sooke River 10K on April 21. All races are sanctioned by BC Athletics. Registra-tion is now online at www.vira.bc.ca.

Historical results from races dating back to 1980 from pre-vious race series can be seen on www.pih.bc.ca

Dillan Glennie, Podium of Life student, takes aim on the biathlon range.

Podium of Life Snowsports Academy students learned to shoot guns as part of biathlon training.

Vancouver Island Biathlon club offered a day of training for the students.

In partnership with

the Vancouver Island Mountain Centre, students were shown what a biathlon race was all about. Stu-dents were given all the instructions on how to shoot, then they raced each other.

“They loved this experience,” says their teacher, Shane Harle. “It is such a great feeling being able to offer these unique opportunities to students. Next week we are taking the kids geocaching in the

snow.”Vancouver Island

Mountain Centre offers a variety of activities for school groups, including overnight accommo-dations. Visit www.vimountaincentre.com for information.

The Mount Wash-ington Ski Club will host the TECK Coast Zone Finals Ski Race for U12, U14, U16 and U18 on Whiskey Jack, just above the main lodge at Mount Washington, this weekend.

It will be the last racing event of the 2012/2013 winter season up at Mount Washington.

More than 100 com-petitors will travel from all Coastal Ski Clubs includ-ing Whistler/Black-c o m b , C y p r e s s , Grouse, Seymour, Hemlock and others to take part.

Double slalomOn Saturday Mount

Washington holds a Dual Panel Slalom

and all racers are guaranteed two runs (weather per mit-ting).

This new event proves to be an excit-ing one and a new for-mat for BC Alpine.

Two racers go head-to-head on separate, side-by-side courses that are set next to each other.

In this type of race, the course is often modified so there are jumps in the course, like in freestyle ski events.

The dual slalom is exciting as there is a winner after each run with two racers while in a traditional slalom race you have to wait until every racer has had their run to determine the winner.

The dual event is

typically set up as an elimination event, where racers are paired up and the winner advances to the next round.

There are several rounds, depending upon the number of racers in the field, and the racer who advances to and wins the final round is the overall winner.

In this type of race the tension builds as the field narrows towards the final round.

On Sunday, there will be a two-run sla-lom race for U14 & above as well as two races for U12.

Come out, enjoy the sunshine, the last race of the sea-son and watch some incredible youth sport in action.

Far, far awayJudy and Sterling Campbell took the Mirror with them to a centuries-old Berber village in the Atlas Moun-tains in Morocco. Most people living here have not gone anywhere outside of the 20 km. village.

During National Vol-unteer Week, Volun-teer Campbell River will be celebrating and recognizing the incred-ible efforts of local vol-unteers.

To give you an exam-ple of just how impor-tant the contributions of volunteers are to our member agencies, look at the Campbell River Girl Guides of Canada (GGC), an organization built on the dedication and skills of volun-teers.

GGC participated in a survey designed by Volunteer Campbell River. GGC volunteers

empower girls and themselves with the skills and abilities to face challenges with confidence.

Their goal is to increase girls’ aware-ness about the wider world, promote cross-cultural understand-ing and educate girls on global issues that will inspire them to take action.

In Campbell River, the absence of vol-unteers would affect over 200 girls, who, as a result, would not be as well prepared as they could be to face the challenges in their

lives. Volunteers, come

and join the volunteer appreciation celebra-tion on Saturday, April 27 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Campbell River Common Shopping Centre.

Volunteer Campbell River is hosting the event. Meet your fel-low volunteers and learn about some of the local member agencies and what they have to offer.

There will be free snacks and drinks, vol-unteer appreciation gifts and a volunteer raffle.

Celebrate the importance of Campbell River’s volunteers

The Comox Strath-cona waste manage-ment (CSWM) service will open the compost education centre in Campbell River (228 South Dogwood Street) today at 10 a.m.

The compost educa-tion centre offers a variety of free work-

shops on composting, organic gardening, conservation and lawn care. The on-site edu-cators are there to pro-vide facility tours, to showcase the benefits of diverting organics through composting, to answer questions and to give helpful

tips on maintaining a backyard composting program.

The centre is begin-ning the season with a variety of programs targeting different age groups and areas of interest.

In Campbell River, the event season will start

this Saturday with the compost education cen-tre centre jointly host-ing a mason bee work-shop with the City of Campbell River at the community centre, 401-11th Ave., begin-ning at 10 a.m. Guest speaker, Al Morton, will cover such topics

as the lifestyle of our native mason bee and the importance of pol-lination, how, when and where to start to start your bee colony, and the building of bee houses, nesting boxes and nesting tubes. CSWM educator Elaine Jansen will welcome

guests to the compost education centre and give an overview of the programs that are being offered through-out the season.

For more informa-tion on all the work-shops and presenta-tions visit www.cswm.ca/composting.
