The $940-million project to replace the John Hart Generat-ing Station is another positive economic step for the city, says Mayor Walter Jakeway.

“This is wonderful…this is Fort McMurray-sized project,” the mayor said Tuesday, referring to the Alberta oil sands boom town.

On Friday, after years of plan-ning by BC Hydro, the B.C. Utili-ties Commission finally approved the project to replace the gener-ating station on the Campbell River.

The Commission green-lighted the $940-million project which will see the replacement of the 66-year-old John Hart Generating Station over the next five years. As well, the three above-ground pipelines, which carry water from John Hart Lake to the elec-trical generators, will be replaced with a 1.8-kilometre tunnel.

“We are pleased the Commis-sion has recognized the impor-tance of upgrading an aging facil-ity that has been operating since 1947,” said Energy Minister Rich Coleman in a news release. “Now we can ensure the facility will continue to deliver clean, reliable power to Vancouver Island.”

In addition to the hundreds of jobs created by the project, as well

as the spinoff economic oppor-tunities, the city will benefit by having its main water pipeline replaced.

BC Hydro is picking up mostof the cost for the replacement while the city is contributing $6 million.

“It will be done first before any of the other construction begins,” said Jakeway.

In recent years, city council has faced some lean economic times, but the mayor is optimistic things are changing for the better. In addition to the massive hydro project – and over the same five-year period – the Campbell River Hospital will be replaced with a new $266-million, 95-bed facility.

There’s also the new Berwick seniors’ home to be built down-town as well as the new five-storey head office for Seymour Pacific Developments and Broad-street Properties Ltd.

Other developments include the new apartment complex under construction on Dogwood Street and Merecroft Road, a shopping centre at Dogwood and Hilchey Road, two new condominiums on Petersen Road, a new Mr. Lube at Mariner Square, the new residen-tial tower for women and children on Dogwood and 11th Avenue, and more.

“There are at least 14 projects

going on. There’s another building in the planning stages for downtown…and we will have to address sec-ondary suites in the city for the hundreds of workers who will be coming here,” Jake-way said.

Hydro Project

Since most of Vancouver Island’s power supply comes from the Lower Mainland, the John Hart generating facility ensures the province’s second largest load centre has reli-able power.

The project will foster eco-nomic development in the region – creating about 400 jobs and sustaining them over five years of construction.

The commission’s approval of the project comes after five years of project planning by BC Hydro, feedback from the Campbell River community, and a regulatory review pro-cess that lasted close to one year.

“BC Hydro would like to thank the customer and other stakeholder groups who par-ticipated in the regulatory process, government agen-cies, and local community and business organizations who played a key role in shaping this project,” said BC Hydro executive VP Chris O’Riley.

“Equally important are the agreements we have with Campbell River area First Nations, which will form the foundation for a long-term relationship based on respect.”

Next steps in the project include obtaining legislative approval of a parks boundary adjustment and choosing a preferred proponent to design

and build the project.

Facts:The John Hart Generating

Station Replacement project

involves constructing a new water intake at the John Hart Spillway Dam by replacing the three 1.8-kilometre long pipelines with a 2.1-kilome-

tre long tunnel; constructing a replacement generating station beside the existing station and building a new water bypass facility.

There are three main rea-sons for the project:

Safety: the generating sta-tion and pipelines may not withstand a low to moderate earthquake.

Reliability: the six gener-ating units are in poor con-dition and their capacity is declining.

Environment: an unplanned generating station shutdown and river flow reduction would harm fish habitat.

Project benefits include:Protecting fish: if the

replacement generating sta-tion was forced out of service, the new water bypass facility would allow for continued river flow to protect fish and fish habitat.

Smaller footprint: reducing BC Hydro’s facility footprint by removing the three pipe-lines that are 3.66 metres in diameter and1.8-kilometre long.

Powering Vancouver Island: ensuring a continuous supply of reliable, clean and cost-effective energy to Vancou-ver Island customers. After the project is completed, the John Hart power supply will increase by more than seven per cent – from 778 gigawatt hours per year to 835 gigawatt hours or enough power to supply about 80,000 homes.

Reducing seismic risk: increasing the seismic with-stand of the water convey-ance and generating station facilities – reducing the potential environmental, financial, social and safety impacts from an earthquake.

Search on for break-in suspectMounties are on the hunt for a thief

suspected in a rash of residential break and enters.

RCMP have identified a suspect involved in a Feb. 6 break-in at a Willow Creek Road home. The owner returned to find the patio door open, her bedroom ransacked and jewelry missing. The Forensic Identification Section processed the scene and found evidence to suggest this break and enter is linked to other recent residential B&Es. A description of the suspect was not released.

Coal workers nab metal thiefQuinsam Coal employees apprehended

a woman who tried to steal $15,000 worth of copper wire from the mine last Thursday.

It was just around 8:30 a.m. when the workers caught the woman in the act. She was riding an all-terrain vehicle that had been stolen out of Nanaimo and had already bundled up the copper wire when she was nabbed. However, a male accomplice fled on foot and a search by the police dog failed to pick up his track.

A 34-year-old Chemainus woman is facing charges of break and enter, and possession of stolen property over $5,000.She is due to appear in Campbell River provincial court on April 22. Mounties are still trying to identify and arrest the male suspect.

Accident, drugs foundDrugs are believed to be a factor in an

accident that occurred on the afternoon of Feb. 5.

According to police, a blue GMC Envoy was heading west on 16th Avenue near Maple Street when the female driver crossed the centre line and side-swiped an oncoming white Chevrolet Astro.

Both drivers received minor injuries in the collision. The 23-year-old female driver of the Envoy was believed to under the influence of narcotics and is facing impaired driving charges. The woman and her 17-year-old passenger are also facing drug possession charges.

The John Hart Dam generating station will be upgrade to the tune

Who’s throwing rocks at cars?

Mounties are concerned after receiving at least three reports of objects being thrown at moving vehicles.

“People in the vehicle, including children, can be injured by the flying objects. This has potential for serious injury and this behaviour has to stop,” said RCMP Cpl. Poppy Hallam.

On Feb. 5, at 4:16 p.m., police responded to a complaint at the Island Highway and Perkins Road. The caller said a male, wearing a grey hoodie, threw an item at her car as she drove by which cracked her windshield. She pulled over, but the youth ran and was not located by police.

On Sunday, at 7:51 p.m., police attended Dogwood Street, near 9th Avenue, after someone was throwing objects at vehicles from the road side. Officers were unable to find the culprits.

Then on Monday, at 1:30 a.m., police were called to Dogwood and 7th Avenue where a male reported that someone threw a rock at his vehicle as he was driving.

Three males dressed in black were seen fleeing the area.

LAUREL LAHAYSPECIAL TO THE MIRROR

I read the query by Mari English Rose from the U.K. in the Campbell River Mir-ror on Feb. 8 regard-ing her search for the family of James (Jim) Albert English (owner of the Quinsam Hotel) and his wife, Margaret Marshall who used to reside in Campbell River. She also men-tioned two children: Robert and E.C. Hig-gins.

I’m a member of the Campbell River Gene-alogy Society. While I was not able to help her find her living Canadian relatives, I was able to provide her with some useful

information about this family along with the applicable web-sites.

I decided to send my reply to the Mirror in order that this infor-mation may assist others with their fam-ily history research and to let others know about the resources offered online as well as through the Camp-bell River Genealogy Society. There are many B.C. online data-bases that are free to access.

Many images of B.C. death registra-tions are now online for the years 1872 to 1991 at B.C. Archives ( http://search-collec-tions.royalbcmuseum.bc.ca/Genealogy/

BasicSearch).I located the death

registration for James Albert English. As Mari stated, he died in 1961 in Campbell River, and when I viewed his death registration, I dis-covered that he had been divorced. His occupation was given as “hotel operator,” and although he died in Campbell River, he was cremated and then buried in Victoria at the Royal Oak Burial Park. The informant on his death registration was listed as his son, R. English.

The B.C. Archives website has many online images of mar-riage registrations from 1872 to 1936. I found the marriage registration of James Albert English to Mar-garet Marshall. At the time of their marriage in 1921, the occupation of James was listed

as a pool room opera-tor in Cumberland, B.C. Margaret’s place of birth was given as Scotland.

There was also a death registration for Elmer C. Higgins from Campbell River. He died on Jan. 24, 1966 and his wife’s name was given as Margaret English and she was the informant at his death.

According to the death registration of James A. English, his birthdate was recorded as Feb. 3, 1884, in Durham, England. On a whim, I checked the Library and Archives Canada – Soldiers of the First World War database but could not find an attestation paper for James Albert English (http://www.collec-tionscanada.gc.ca/databases/cef/001042-100.01-e.php).

Museum website has a photo of Jim English working behind the bar at the Quinsam Hotel and a few other related photos.

The date of the Quinsam Hotel photo was given as circa 1963. Since Jim Eng-lish died in 1961, the photo would have actually been taken in 1961 or earlier.

When searching for people currently liv-ing in Canada, Google: Canada411 – Advanced Search (http://www.canada411.ca/search/advanced.html).

B.C. directories are available online through the Vancou-ver Public Library from 1860 to 1952 (http://www.vpl.ca/bccd/index.php).

Listed in the 1952 directory for Camp-bell River, James A. English appears at the Quinsam Hotel as well as his son, Robert English as a lodger. Elmer C. Higgins, truck driver is listed in Campbell River in 1952.

B.C. Voter’s lists are available at www.Ancestry.com which is a pay-to-view website. I checked the 1935 B.C.

Voter’s list for James Albert English and he appears as ‘hotel keeper’ in Campbell River. In 1949, Robert English, is listed on the B.C. Voter’s list in Campbell River with his wife Gabrielle. His occupation is given as: logger. J.A. English is listed as ‘hotel owner.’ Elmer C. Higgins and his wife both appear on the Campbell River voter’s list in 1962.

To locate a family on the 1911 Canadian cen-sus, search the follow-

ing website: http://automatedgenealogy.com/census11/.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints’ website (https://familysearch.org/search) has been revamped with thou-sands of new records. It’s a great resource.

Jim English is mentioned on pages 115-117 of the book, River City - A History of Campbell River and Discovery Islands by Jeanette Taylor. There is a good photo of him

on page 117. He appears to have

been a very colourful character and before buying the Quinsam Hotel, he had previ-ously been the owner of the store and Fish-erman’s Lodge at Oys-ter River.

Taylor includes this caption under the photo of Jim in her book: “He was a charming and forceful community leader who is said to have made a stake by bootlegging from his

tavern on the Oyster River during the pro-hibition era.”

For local residents and visitors interested in family history, the Campbell River Gene-alogy Society library is situated at the Mari-time Heritage Centre and is available for public use at no cost, however, only society members can take out books.

Ancestry.com is available free of charge on the society library computers and volunteer librar-ians are ready and willing to assist the public with how to go about their research. The library is open on Monday evenings from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., Tuesdays and Thurs-days from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Wednesdays from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. Enter through the lighthouse door or phone the library at 250-286-8042 for more information. Check out the society’s web-site which has been created by Christol James: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~bccrgc/ and discover the obit data-base and many other interesting projects.

Added note: After sending a reply to Mari English Rose in the UK, she responded saying that she received an over-whelming response from local residents to her query in the Mir-ror newspaper. Local resident and gene-alogist, Pat Masters, knew the English and Higgins families per-sonally and was also able to send her vivid recollections to Mari.

Over the past 5 years the owners of Class 6 (Business/Other) property lying within the Willow Point Business Improvement Area (WPBIA) have paid a “local service tax”. The tax is collected by the City of Campbell River to be used by the WPBIA to operate a “business promo onal scheme”. The funds raised through the local service tax have enabled the WPBIA to promote Willow Point through marke ng and beau ca on projects. The boundaries of the WPBIA are de ned on the following map. In order for the WPBIA to con nue opera ng, City Council must adopt a new bylaw which would re-establish the WPBIA for 5 years. The Associa on has asked that the bylaw be processed as a “Council ini a ve” under the authority of the Community Charter – Part 7, Division 5. Under the “Council ini a ve” method, Council may, by bylaw, proceed with the renewal of the WPBIA unless at least 50% of the owners of the parcels that would be subject to the local service tax sign a pe on against, and the persons signing are the owners of parcels that in total represent at least 50% of the assessed value of land and improvements that would be subject to the local service tax. WPBIA’s proposed budget is: $17,840 in 2013, $18,732 in 2014, $19,668 in 2015, $20,651 in 2016 and $21,685 in 2017, with increases of 5% per year over the next 4 years. In order to raise the funds requested by the WPBIA for 2013, owners of Class 6 property lying within the WPBIA would be required to pay a local service tax at a rate of approximately $1.76 per $1,000 of assessed value of the improvements (buildings) on their property. Owners of Class 6 property located within the WPBIA boundary, that are opposed to the renewal of the WPBIA, must no fy the City in wri ng no later than March 6, 2013. Informa on rela ng to the renewal of the Willow Point Business Improvement Area, including copies of the relevant legisla on, is available for inspec on during business hours (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.), Monday through Friday at Campbell River City Hall, 301 St. Ann’s Road. Informa on can also be obtained by e-mailing tracy.bate@campbellriver.ca, or by calling 250-286-5705. For more informa on on the WPBIA’s business promo onal scheme please contact WPBIA President, Sandra Allen at (250) 923-3121.

A struggle between public and private played out in BC Supreme Court this week.

The judicial review, initiated by Friends of Strathcona Park, focused on the provincial govern-ment’s decision to allow a private resort to have horse access to parkland, counter to the park’s use plan, according to the environ-mental group.

After hearing both sides, Hon-ourable Justice Sigurdson has decided to reserve judgment until a later date.

“We hope that this case will help set a precedent ensuring protec-tion of our province’s parks,” says Bridget Horel, a spokesperson for the group in a press release.

“The granting of this permit is being challenged on the grounds that the Minister of the Environ-ment never considered whether or not the permit was necessary,” Scott Bernstein, lawyer for Friends of Strathcona Park, says.

Bernstein says “while govern-ment looked at whether it was financially beneficial to them, they

did not address the key question, whether it was necessary to pre-serve and maintain the existing recreational values of the Park, as is required by the Park Act.”

A lawyer for the BC govern-ment, Leah Greathead, suggests in her argument that the jurisdic-tion of ministers and bureaucrats is beyond the reach of the court. She continued that the minister had full authority, under the Park Act, to make the decision that he made.

“It seems as though our province is saying that the public and the courts have no place in question-ing the decisions they make, Horel says.

“We believe that provincial parks are to be kept for the public and that the public does have a right to say whether or not parks can be sold, privatized or commercial-ized.”

The judicial review concluded Friday, Feb. 8 but the public will have to wait to hear the outcome of this court case until a written decision has been provided.

Judge reflects on judicial review of horse access permit

The United Way Central & Northern Vancouver Island (UWCNVI) fundrais-ing campaign Change Starts Here wrapped up in early January and most of the dona-tions and pledges are in.

While just under $1 million was raised throughout the Cen-tral Island, Comox Valley and Campbell River area, the Camp-bell River campaign did not meet its target raising only$ 91,500 of the $125,000 target.

“We know campaign is down because of the economy. That, how-ever, is only part of it. We need to recruit a strong campaign cabinet in Campbell River for the 2013 campaign,” said Signy Madden, Executive Director, UWCNVI.

“Local leadership is vital and so we are putting the call out to people to join us.

“Campaign experi-ence is valuable to those building their careers and reward-ing for those who just want to keep the community strong through locally funded programs.

Twenty-six work-places ran employee campaigns and many local companies made donations.

The top employee campaigns included Nrystar Myra Falls, VIHA Campbell River, London Drugs and RBC Campbell River.

“Thank you to every-one who worked hard on campaign this year,” said Jim For-syth, UWCNVI board member and leader-ship donor. “Our

donors and employee campaign co-ordi-nators are amazing people who care about helping others through United Way funded programs.”

Donations directly help hundreds of peo-ple in our community through the amazing work by our 10 com-munity partners who support kids to be all they can be, empower people to move from poverty to possibil-ity and help create healthy, strong com-munities. The 2012/13 partners are:

EDITOR: Alistair Tayloreditor@campbellrivermirror.com

Although it was expected, the news that the B.C. Utilities Commission has approved the John Hart Dam upgrade is welcome.

A year-long regulatory approval process came to a close with the announcement Friday that the massive, $940-million project has been approved. The commission’s approval of the project comes after five years of project planning by BC Hydro, feedback from the Campbell

River community, and a regulatory review process that lasted close to one year. The shot in the arm

this project will provide Campbell River cannot be underestimated, particularly at a time when the local economy is in the doldrums. The project will directly provide 400 jobs over a five-year construction period but the spin-off benefits will boost the economy significantly more than that.

But this isn’t a make-work project designed to inject cash and reflect glowingly on politicians. This is a much-needed project that has real merit.

The commission determined the project was the most cost-effective option to address the significant reliability, seismic, environmental and fisheries issues associated with the 66-year-old facility.

The project briefly caught the eye of Liberal Energy Minister Rich Coleman who wondered out loud if the publicly-owned utility should be spending this kind of money at this time. It didn’t take long for BC Hydro officials to convince Coleman that the project has merits. He stated Friday, “We are pleased the Commission has recognized the importance of upgrading an aging facility that has been operating since 1947.”

Preparation work is well underway and the community has been anticipating this shot in the arm for some time. It is, dare we say, electrifying news.

Re: “Taxed to death in Campbell River,” Mirror, Feb. 8

Mike Richmond’s analogy comparing libraries to door-to-door salesmen selling encyclopedias is ill-informed.

He is correct about one thing: everything, or almost, is on the computer – including our library. Libraries are repositories for books, sure, but our library is much more than books. Our library offers free programs for kids and teens, lends eBooks and eReaders, audio books, CDs, DVDs, and digital magazines, and provides computer facilities, Internet access, and information. The library is our community space for the confluence of people and ideas.

Why do we need libraries when we have the Internet? Author Neil Gaiman knows: “Google can bring you back 100,000 answers, a librarian can bring you back the right one.”

Mike isn’t the first to declare the death of books, and he won’t be the last. The publishing industry is in a transitional phase, but U.S. statistics from the last decade show more titles are being published in print,

Independent MLAs have a dream of their ownImagine a province where party

leaders are chosen in an indepen-dently-supervised vote, with 12-year-olds, dead people and pets prevented from voting.

Imagine a province where roving gangs of influence-seekers aren’t allowed to join multiple parties, and the rule is actually enforced. One where corporations and unions have to advertise in their own name instead of financing political par-ties and then disclosing millions in donations months after the election is over.

Imagine a province where elections are held based on audited financial statements, not a collection of elec-tion promises that will be dismissed as a work of fiction by the new regime

if the incumbent party is defeated.A cat joined the B.C. Liberal Party

to support Christy Clark. Adrian Dix won the NDP leadership with the help of bags of $10 bills stapled to new memberships. As parties go to online voting, multiple PIN num-bers may be activated from the same phone number or the same address.

These and other glaring problems with our party-based political system were highlighted last week in a set of reforms proposed by three indepen-dent MLAs. Vicki Huntington broke the party choke-hold on B.C. politics by getting elected as an independent in Delta South in 2009. Bob Simpson was kicked out of the NDP caucus shortly after winning re-election for the party in Cariboo North, because

he dared to criticize then-leader Car-ole James for a lack of policy specif-ics.

They were belatedly joined by Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen, who quit the B.C. Liberals in an orchestrated move to the B.C. Con-servatives, and then quit that party soon after. Van Dongen does not have the credibility of the others to speak on integrity, given his self-serving party antics and his questionable decision to hire his fiancée and pay her one and a half salaries to serve as his constituency assistant.

Leaving that aside, there are some good ideas in the independents’ reform package. One is to give back-bench MLAs a meaningful role in policy-making.

Simpson gave the example of Prince George MLA Shirley Bond’s term as education minister, where she had to reverse ministry policies that didn’t make sense in rural school districts. The all-party standing committee on education could have prevented this error, he said, but it didn’t because it never meets.

The party voting irregularities described above could be addressed by giving Elections BC authority to supervise party leadership votes, the way it does elections and referenda. There are unknown costs for this, and other problems. For instance, should the Marijuana Party be sub-ject to this, or the Work Less Party, should either one muster enough

and more books are being sold than ever before. North Ameri-can libraries have growing memberships and increasing circula-tion.

Vancouver Island Re gional Library, which operates Camp-bell River’s library, opened new branches in Bella Coola, Gab-riola Is land, and Quadra Island in 2012. Construction on new library branches is underway in Cow-ichan Lake, Cumber-land, and Nanaimo. Courtenay and Comox have superb, modern facilities. I am happy there’s talk of a new library – the commu-nity of Campbell River

deserves one.Matt Hinch

Libraries are more than just books

It may come as a surprise to the writer of the note, “Taxed to death in Campbell River”, but one can find other things in a public library besides encyclopaedias; some of the most important being ideas captured in books, journals, news-papers and magazines. Mr. Richmond seems to share the opinion of the Federal govern-ment when it closed the research library at Pacific Forestry Centre in Victoria. Namely,

cost savings make clo-sure necessary and computers are replac-ing books anyway.

Like the Federal government, Mr. Rich-mond is only looking at part of the total cost equation. Before we burn the books to power the computers and step into the result-ing darkness maybe we could integrate some of those bookish ideas with human innovation to create a sustainable regional economy so we need not be “taxed to death”.

William L. Wagner

Not dead yetSurely it is a little

early to be predicting the demise of libraries

in 2013 because ency-clopedias are available online?

Online encyclopedias provide such general information that they do not even have to be cited in a Reference List.

Chances are that, in the future, print books will co-exist with an e-form of delivery, but even that e-book will likely be rented by the library, lent out to be downloaded onto your (expensive) e-book reader, and will have to be returned in two weeks. So much for computers replacing libraries.

A library serves the entire community. A delighted child leaves with a bag of books,

a student comes in to research and study, a senior reads two or three newspapers he doesn’t have to sub-scribe to and the rest of the community use the library to borrow nov-els and how-to books, to read history, browse periodicals. They take out music CDs, borrow DVDs, audio-books for the hard of hearing, large-print books for the sight challenged, check their e-mails, c o n s u l t w i t h t h e research librarian, lis-ten to story telling. It is a place of intellectual pursuit, available to all. Funding a library is one of the most dem-ocratic uses of our tax dollars.

organization to stage a leadership contest?

The independents had high hopes for one fundamental reform, moving B.C.’s set elec-tion date from the spring to the fall. This

would take a simple amendment. The idea is for the government to table the annual bud-get, present the audited public accounts for the previous year, then have an election that rests on tested finan-

cial statements and initial results for the current forecast. Both the B.C. Liberal Party and the NDP have expressed support for this idea. The indepen-dents suggest that this brief three-week legis-

lative session is a good time to do it, so the next government can implement it. I asked Mike de Jong, the B.C. Liberal finance minis-ter and house leader, if he would consider it.

He allowed that it is

interesting, but it’s not contemplated for the pre-election session. That will be dominated by returning the pro-vincial sales tax, and the usual jousting over untested spending and revenue proposals.

Bald Eagles are part of the fab-ric of the natu-

ral landscape on Van-couver Island. Moun-tainaire Avian Rescue Society (MARS) has, therefore, put together a public celebration of these amazing creatures at the Camp-bell River Bald Eagle Festival (EagleFest) on Saturday, Feb. 23 at the Maritime Heritage Centre.

Each year hundreds of bald eagles come to our shores to feast on the spawning her-ring that arrive in our coastal waters by the millions in late Febru-ary and early March.

Many of these birds have spent time here waiting since the late fall salmon spawn, and now is your opportunity to learn more about them.

Desperate times sometimes call for desperate measures, which is where this year’s theme of “Unsung Heroes” comes into play. MARS will be present-ing some “Unsung Heroes” with certifi-cates of appreciation to honour their role in making a difference by helping individual wildlife or preserving their habitat.

“Whether it’s hero-ically diving into the water to untangle a pair of feuding eagles or bravely scaling tall trees to save eagles in trouble, MARS couldn’t successfully rescue and rehabili-tate as many birds as we do without these folks stepping in to help,” says Maj Birch,

Founder and Manager of MARS. “It is a real honour to be able to recognize them at EagleFest.”

EagleFest highlights include:

■ Photo contest with great prizes, spon-sored by Photo Tech Foto Source

■ Bird Photography workshop with Mike Yip

■ Sophie Hindmarch speaking about owl

studies she has con-ducted

■ See live eagles, hawks, and owls up close with educators from The Raptors and MARS

■ Photo ops with one of MARS’ ambassador birds of prey

■ Children’s activi-ties, including face painting, crafts and hands-on exhibits

■ Displays by sev-eral local partners

dedicated to wildlife and ecological conser-vation

■ Refreshments and MARS merchandise for sale

■ Harrison the Fraser Valley Bald Eagle Festival mascot will be on hand to wel-come visitors

■ Incredible taxi-dermy displays by Steve Howard and Gerry Powers

This is a great way to spend the day, learn-ing about wildlife in our area, supporting MARS’ fundraising efforts, and enjoying the amazing natural world around us.

EagleFest is open to the public from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sat-urday, Feb. 23 at the Campbell River Mari-time Heritage Centre. Admission is $5 per person or $10 for a family. MARS mem-bers get in free.

Unfortunately, one in four British Columbians cannot read this sentence. More than half of working age people in BC have diffi culty reading or writing, which makes it diffi cult for them to be a part of our changing economy.

Be a part of the solution! The CR Literacy Association has students who need volunteer tutors.

Volunteer tutors work one-on-one with adults and youth wanting to improve their English skills. Everyone is welcome!

More tutors are needed for these programs: Adult Literacy tutors work with learners whose skills in reading, writing, and math are at a low level.

ESL tutors work with youth and adults who are learning English as their second language, (reading, writing, and pronunciation).

The above programs are free of charge, thanks to funding from the Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia.

Training for volunteer tutors will be held in late February 2013. If you are interested in becoming a tutor for either program phone 250 923 1275 or email Julina Spetch at info@literacyforall.ca for more information.

I t takes only a moment, but the dam-age from scalding hot liquids can last your child a lifetime. Scald – the most common cause of burns to chil-dren – were the focus of the 17th annual Burn Awareness Week.

Bur n Awareness Week ran from Feb. 3 -9 , and provided opportunities for par-ents, caregivers and children to learn how to prevent scalds and other burns.

You can take simple steps to reduce hazards at home, where the vast majority of these preventable injuries happen.

Research shows the majority of Canadian parents are not aware that the most common cause of burn injuries to children is scalds from hot liquids, such as spilled hot drinks and hot tap water.

Here are some valu-able tips.

In the bathroom: ■ Adjust the tempera-

ture on your hot water heater to 49 Celsius (120 Fahrenheit). Most

home hot water heat-ers in Canada are set at 60°C (140°F). At that temperature, a child’s skin can burn in one second. ■ If you are unable

to control the tempera-ture that comes out of your hot water heater, install scald-resistant faucets in sinks, show-ers and bathtubs that children use. These fixtures have built-in thermostats to control the maximum temper-ature of the water. Set the thermostat so that the water temperature does not exceed 50°C (120°F). ■ When using taps,

turn cold water on

first, then add hot water and adjust the temperature. Reverse the order when turn-ing water off: hot water off first, then cold. ■ Always test young

children’s bath and sink water before they use it. Never leave bathing children unat-tended. They may turn on the hot water or slip in your absence.

In the kitchen: ■ Keep hot liquids

like coffee, soup and tea in a mug with a tight-fitting lid, such as a travel cup. ■ When cooking,

ensure pot handles are out of children’s reach

and turned toward the back of the stove. Teach your children never to touch any-thing on the stovetop or open the oven.

In the living room: ■ Make sure to place

a barrier around your gas fireplace. The glass of a gas fireplace can heat up to 200°C (400°F) in just six minutes and take 45 minutes to cool down.

Other tips: ■ Teach children

about the dangers of fire and supervise them. ■ When outdoors,

keep your child away

from barbecue grills and campfires. ■ If your child is

bur ned, place the burned area in, or flush it with, cool water as quickly as possible. Keep the burned area in the cool water for 10 to 15 minutes. Never use ice, ointments or butter.

Quick facts:

■ Burn Awareness Week is an annual event led by the British Columbia Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund. ■ Firefighters in

more than 53 com-munities in British

Columbia and the Yukon work to support the efforts of the Burn Fund to increase the public’s knowledge of burn awareness. ■ The province pro-

vides safety tips in sup-port of Burn Aware-ness Week activities and, on a year-round basis, through the Get-ting to Know Fire pub-lic fire and life safety education program. This program covers everything from fire safety when cooking to fire extinguisher use, with modules specifi-cally developed to meet the needs of everyone from young children to teens to adults. Fire

service personnel deliver this program in schools and communi-ties throughout British Columbia.

■ Everyone is encour-aged to access more information on fire and burn safety, as well as a Burn Awareness Week education kit, at: www.burnfund.org■ In 2012, the BC Pro-

fessional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund, in part-nership with the BC Children’s Hospital, launched a new pro-gram for early child-hood educators called Too Hot for Tots.

It’s getting to be that time of year again, when the daylight lasts a little longer each day and fresh green shoots start pushing their way out of the soil.

As spring approaches many of us get the urge to get our hands dirty and get back to work-ing in the garden.

So once again, Camp-bell River ElderCollege is offering another series of unique talks aimed at enhanc-ing seniors’ green thumbs.

The series begins on Friday and runs for six weeks, starting at 10 a.m. Each week fea-tures a different gar-dening topic.

If you don’t know where to start or how to proceed Hans Rhen-isch, gardener extraor-dinaire, will start with the why, how and where to plant, not to mention what.

Avoid or relieve those aches and pains often associated with gar-dening.

Re gistered phys-i o t h e r a p i s t B e v O’Sullivan will show participants how to prepare their bodies for gardening. She will also illustrate relax-ation techniques and provide an introduc-tion to horticulture therapy.

Back by popular demand, Rick Mon-chak will share his love and expertise in grow-ing dahlias. Bring your garden clippers for a hands-on exercise in cutting dahlia tubers.

Dr. Thierry Vrain will talk about the effect of global warm-ing on agriculture. The retired biologist

from the Department of Agriculture, who is also an avid gardener, is expected to provide a thought-provoking discussion.

Trains in the garden? What a wonderful and whimsical idea! Chris Cracklow will bring in photos of his and other gardens with trains. He will explain how the buildings are constructed, how to choose plants that are in proportion, as well as grading.

An information and plant exchange will be part of the session so that students can brainstorm and learn from each other.

Pre-registration is required and the fee for the six-part series is $30 (plus HST). All ElderCollege classes are open to anyone aged 50 plus.

You can register in person at North Island College or online at www.nic.bc.ca/elder-college.

To supplement your other sources of income, you will probably need to draw additional retirement income from your registered and non-registered investments. How you choose to do that may have a big impact on the stability of that income and on the size of your tax bill.

As you move closer to retirement age, you’ll be drawing on your accumulated wealth to meet retirement expenses – and with average life expectancy rising, that could be for many years.

That’s why it’s a good strategy to balance between capital preservation with less volatile investments that produce a regular and stable income, such as xed income and dividend-

producing investments and growth investments that can add to your retirement income and protect against in ation.

The impact of taxes on your retirement income depends on the sources of that income. For example, if you generate your retirement

income from a non-registered investment source that produces interest, the resulting income will be fully taxable. However, if your income is derived from selling non-registered equities the pro t is a capital gain and the tax rate is reduced to 50%. Be aware that reporting large amounts of taxable income from all sources can result in the reduction of income-tested government bene ts such as Old Age Security (OAS).

There is also the taxing question about when and how to dispose of assets. Through years of investing, you may have accumulated sizeable unrealized capital gains. If you choose to realize them in a single year through a one-time disposition – for example to fund an annuity, – the result could be a signi cant tax hit. Instead, develop a tax-reduction strategy now that will minimize taxes before retirement and through all your retirement years.

One strategy is to hold relatively more equity investments in the non-registered part of your portfolio and relatively more xed-income securities

in registered investments. This strategy preserves the tax advantages of equity investments over xed income investments.

When you know the right tax-reducing conversion strategies and remain vigilant about paying less tax you’ll preserve your wealth and make your retirement as ful lling and worry-free as possible. Your professional advisor can help you seize all of the tax strategies available to you and develop an investment approach that works best for you.

My Doctor says I have Plantar Fasciitis….what is that?

Plantar fasciitis is infl ammation of the thick tissue on the bottom of the foot. This tissue is called the plantar fascia. It connects the heel bone to the toes and creates the arch of the foot. There are several variables that may increase your likelihood of suffering from plantar Fasciitis such as time spent on feet, walking on concrete, heavy vibration to the feet and foot shape to name a few. Physiotherapy has many techniques to assist in settling plantar fasciitis down and returning you to the regular life you enjoy!!!

If someone does not have the mental capacity to make a Power of Attorney, is there an alternative? A legal Power of Attorney can only be made if an individual has the capacity to understand the Power of Attorney, its effects, what assets one has, and various other matters.

In situations where there is a diminished mental capacity, then an individual can prepare a basic Representation Agreement to cover their fi nancial matters such as payment of regular bills, purchase of groceries, dealing with pension matters, and tax returns. However, major decisions such as the sale of a property, transfer of or cashing out investments, etc., can not be done through a basic Representation Agreement. In situations where an individual lacks the capacity to make a Power of Attorney, he/she may be able to make a Representation Agreement because the test of capacity for a Representation Agreement is not as comprehensive as when someone prepares a Power of Attorney.

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.

What factors affect how often I should change my vehicles oil?

Every vehicle manufacturer has a different recommended schedule which can range from every 10,000 km to every 20,000 km. But the fact remains that your engines needs are determined by your driving style, the weather, and the area in which you drive the car. An aggressive driving style will cause more engine stress and cause the lubricants to be consumed at a rapid rate. Cold weather affects the viscosity of oil and this can infl uence the need to have the oil changed on a different schedule. Dusty or sandy environments will also affect your engine’s performance and the cleanliness of the oil can be affected as well. All of these factors affect the frequency with which your oil will need to be changed, so there is no single defi nite rule that you can follow. The professionals at Great Canadian Oil Change will help you determine the right schedule for you.

How often should I clean my fi lter cartridge?Depending upon bather load, it is generally a good practice to rinse your fi lter cartridge every other week with fresh water from a garden hose to dislodge hair and other foreign matter. Every 3 to 4 months, and with each water change, your fi lter cartridge should be soaked in a fi lter-cleaning compound designed for this purpose. We recommend the rotation method: have two fi lters on hand, one in the spa and a clean, dry spare. Remove the dirty fi lter and rinse thoroughly, being careful to spray between the pleats. Soak the fi lter in a 5-gallon bucket of cleaning solution, overnight or according to the instructions on the package. You can now install your clean spare while the dirty one is soaking. After soaking, rinse again and set aside to dry completely. With this method, your fi lters will last much longer, and you will never have to wait to use your spa.

February Is Dental Awareness MonthDental care for your pet may be more important than you think. The accumulation of bacteria laden plaque above the gumline can lead to long term oral health issues. Recent studies have demonstrated there is an association between oral health and overall general health issues affecting the kidney, heart and metabolic systems. The statistics are high and approximately 85% of pets have periodontal disease by age 3 years.It is a good idea to become comfortable opening your pet’s mouth and looking inside, if you notice that the gums surrounding the teeth are red and swollen he or she may have the initial stages of gingivitis. If you notice this or would like a consult on Dental home and professional cleaning please ask your family Veterinarian or come by Campbell River Veterinary Hospital for consult.

What is a Material Latent Defect?These are defects that are not discoverable through a reasonable inspection of the property. “Material Latent Defects” are considered to be defects that render the property dangerous or potentially dangerous to the occupants, are unfi t for habitation, are unfi t for the purpose which the party is known to be acquiring it for, involve great expense to remedy and/or lack the appropriate municipal or other permits associated with the Real Estate. Some examples of these would be the use of the property for the growth or manufacture of illegal substances or a structural change made to a building without the proper permits. Luckily for Buyers, the Real Estate Council requires that a seller and the seller’s agent must disclose any known material latent defects to a Purchaser before a contract is entered into.

Are you someone who likes summer time activities?

Thinking of a new tattoo or piercing? Well the time is now! The best time to get tattooed or pierced is during the months of the year that you are not enjoying camping, swimming, and other summer time activities. Healing out a new tattoo may take few weeks but a new piercing can take months! When out on hikes or at your favorite swimming hole not having access to running water to wash hands or clean up can cause problems and prolong healing of new piercing. So, if this summer you want to be showing off your cute piercing or new tattoo at the beach then come on down and check out what we can do for you.

Why is fl uoride so important?

Fluoride has long been a topic of debate and although fl uoride use has its critics, the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention consider the introduction of fl uoride to improve oral health one of the top 10 great public health achievements of the 20th century.

Fluoride has a very unique property in that it can replace Calcium in our enamel. So when our teeth are exposed to acid (which is how decay starts) the acid leaches (pulls) calcium out of our enamel thereby weakening our teeth. Fluoride, when available, replaces the calcium in our enamel and makes our teeth more resistant to acid. So, in essence, fl uoride makes our teeth stronger because acid from bacteria won’t be as effective at decaying our teeth.

It’s still very important to brush and fl oss because, even with fl uoride replacing our calcium, our teeth are still susceptible to decay. So 2-3 minutes twice a day for brushing and fl ossing every day is still the Canadian Dental Association recommendation.

There are a few things to be checking on your saltwater tank. If you plan on keeping corals, the testing is more extensive than if you are keeping fi sh only. For a FOWLR (fi sh only with live rock) tank you would want to check your Nitrates every 2-4 weeks with an Elos Nitrate Test Kit. Very easy to use and the colors are very easy to distinguish. And, you would also consider checking your pH and specifi c gravity. pH is another easy to use test kit OR there are digital pH monitors that can be purchased...if you want to get a little more high tech there is a “Pinpoint pH Monitor” that you run constantly which gives you a reading on your tank at all times. This does need to be calibrated monthly but are great! They generally cost about $100. SG or specifi c gravity is something you want to have an idea of “most” of the time. There are 2 devices, one that is more accurate than the other. First the swing arm “hydrometer” which is around $15-$20 and is ok, or you can purchase a “Refractometer” which is 100% accurate as long as you calibrate it regularly. Other than that, your FOWLR testing is complete!For a Reef Tank you test all of the above PLUS you need to test for CA (calcium), ALK (alkalinity) and MG (magnesium). These are all vital parts of building a reef and encouraging coral growth. All are done with Elos test kits which are easy to use and accurate, plus when you purchase them we go over how to use them in detail. Most test kits range in price from $21.99-$35.99 but will test your tank many, many times. We also test water for you free of charge. If any of these elements are not in a “normal” range then you start buffi ng with different reef products. It’s easy! And we can help!

Tips

How do I stop my dog from stealing food off my kitchen counter?

First of all, make it a rule for everyone in the house to stop leaving any type of food anywhere on the countertops or kitchen table. If your dog continually gets rewarded by stealing something off the counter - even if it’s a tiny morsel - his chances of continuing to steal are about 100%!! Dogs keep doing what gets them a reward, and always getting food off the counter makes it a very worthwhile behavior for your dog.

If you see him starting to sniff along the counter, distract him with a command like “Look!” (which should mean stop what he’s doing and redirect to you), and reward him with a treat or a chance to go play outside in the yard. Sometimes tossing a treat onto the fl oor after he’s left the counter area will begin to have him look towards the fl oor for his reward instead of the counter. If you can’t be sure he won’t “score” from the counter, strategic placements of baby gates to keep him from getting rewarded will be something that will work for you. Yelling at him won’t stop him, and in some cases he’ll see the yelling as attention and you may make the problem worse. Bottom line is, don’t give him anything he’ll be able to steal.

EXPERTSEXPERTSThinking about cancelling an old life insurance policy?If you do cancel it, the life insurance company wins. All those premiums you’ve paid toward the policy belong to the in-surance company.Many people purchase policies when they’re younger to help cover the risks of expenses like mortgages and child care should an accident occur. Then, once the mortgage is paid and the kids are independent, they think about cancelling their policy.Why not donate the policy to the Campbell River Hospital Foundation and support quality health care for our community. If you are still pay-ing premiums on the policy when you donate it, you will receive a tax receipt each year equal to the value of your premium payments. If you have fi nished paying premiums, you may receive a receipt right away or your estate may receive the tax receipt to offset taxes owed on your fi nal tax return. To learn more about building a legacy through life insurance gifts, call our offi ce at 250-850-2418 or talk to your fi nancial advisor.

I want to list my children as benefi ciaries on my insurance policy, but am concerned about them getting a big chunk of money too young.

Insurance companies require you to name a trustee when you list someone under 18 as a benefi ciary on a life insurance contract. Unfortunately, even by age 18 young people don’t always have the best money sense. However, you can stipulate in the policy that the trustee continue to control the money until the benefi ciary reaches an older age – up to 25 years old with some companies. This allows the trustee to focus the insurance proceeds on living expenses, higher education, and other matters that you would have helped fi nance if you were still alive to do so.

I have a horrible cough since getting the fl u recently. How can I avoid antibiotics yet again? I even had the fl u shot and don’t want to go through this again next year! For the last 27 years of my practice I have been using a wonderful natural antibiotic that is dosed aggressively for 10 days. When patients take this along with my Upper Respiratory formula they get well very quickly. Most of my patients don’t get sick when they take their fi sh oil by the tablespoon (that also has some vitamin D in it), HMF probiotics and the HTSF SEP 200 homeopathic preventive remedy. This is what I call true “Health Insurance”.

Why should I bother with RRSPs?

When you invest in an RRSP you’ll pay less tax now, plus no tax on the earnings on your investment until you withdraw it. The earlier you start, the longer your RRSP has to compound on this tax-free basis. If you start in your 20’s you may need as little as 6% of your gross income to save for a comfortable retirement. Wait until you are in your 40’s and you’ll need to put away between 14% and 20%. RRSPs built within a fi nancial planning strategy can make the most of your investments, and help you enjoy an active and enjoyable retirement.

How do I start tomatoes from seed?Growing tomatoes from seed takes time and care, but it is not hard, and the results are well worth it.It’s best to have a warm place, or a heat mat, consistently 70 – 80 degrees F. A South facing exposure in a window, or the help of a daylight spectrum bulb, such as a T5 fl uorescent, is ideal.In a tray with inserts, or really any kind of shallow container with a clear lid, place moist starting mix such as Coco Coir, or Pro Mix BX. Sow the seeds carefully a couple of inches apart and cover them with twice the seeds’ thickness in potting mix. Gently and thoroughly water with chlorine free water (let tap water sit at room temp for 24 hours) You may wish to add B Vitamins, such as B Plus, as a general health tonic, as it is excellent in any propagation practice. Remember not to let the mix dry out, but don’t over water either!Once the seedlings have emerged, do not allow them to overcrowd, as they will compete, and become spindly. If lighting is inadequate once they are sprouted, they will also become spindly, so keep light as close as possible. Harden the seedlings off gradually, starting with venting the domes, and making sure humidity isn’t too high.Once the plants are a 1/2 inch or so high, you may apply a weak solution of plant food, such as Canadian Plant Food Tomato Formula 6-10-8. As the plants grow, so do their feeding requirements, so higher concentrations of good quality nutrients are necessary.

Learn more about the fasci-nating world of

wearable art at either a special information evening or an inten-sive two day workshop at the Campbell River Art Gallery later this month.

Kari Glass, a visual artist and designer with studios in Alaska and Alert Bay, is traveling to Campbell River Friday, Feb. 22 to present a free Wear-able Art Introduction open house from 5-7 p.m.

This will be no ordi-nary presentation – Glass is inspired by the world’s trash. She invites the public to attend the presenta-tion and invites inter-ested people to bring their friends, their recycled clothes, their found objects, duct tape and whatever else strikes their fancy.

Wearable art is a blend of both theatre and art and allows art-ists to create sculpture for the human form.

“I routinely scour and comb the beach, thrift shop, dump and

my home for the junk that is the raw mate-

rial for both concept and construction,”

Glass said. Glass’s

workshop is set for Saturday, Feb. 23 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday, Feb. 24 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The cost for the workshop is $80 plus HST for CR Art Gallery members and $90 plus HST for non-members.

Participants will explore a wide range of conceptual ideas and use of materials.

The wearable art medium will appeal to artists who like to work in multiple disci-plines, blending recy-cled materials and tex-tiles to create pieces presented in dramatic performances.

Get your ideas together in time to participate in the CR Art Gallery’s Wear-able Art Show, set for Aug. 10.

For more informa-tion on either the free introduction Friday, Feb. 22, or the hands-on workshop Saturday, Feb. 23 and Sunday, Feb. 24, contact the Campbell River Art Gallery at 250-287-2261 or programs@crart-gallery.ca

Hecate-Moon Shadow was designed and built with silk neckties by Kari Glass.

Blending theatre and artFor the past 30 years, The Nylons have been

the most beloved Canadian vocal quartet with seven gold and platinum recordings known for their A cappella sound, dazzling and distinct harmonies and smooth arrangements.

The Nylons’ immense appeal has taken them across North America, Europe, Australia, China and Japan on sold out tours prompting Billboard Magazine to give praise to the capti-vating live show.

There have been 17 albums so far (including three compilations), and the group’s world-class producers have included David Foster (Celine Dion and dozens of others), Val Garay (Bette Davis Eyes), Chilliwack frontman Bill Henderson, Andy Goldmark (Michael Bol-ton’s producer), British producer Ian Prince, who won a Grammy for his work with Quincy Jones’ Back on the Block and Toronto’s PeterMann.

The energy and spark the group had when it started is still present with the present lineup: Claude, Garth Mosbaugh, Gavin Hope and Tyrone Gabriel.

It has now been over 27 years. Tours, trials, tantrums, tribulations, and tributes – and a hell of a lot of good music, good times, great singing. The Nylons continue to perform worldwide to passionate audiences and criti-cal acclaim.

The Nylons are bringing their world class live show to the Tidemark Theatre Thursday, March 14.

It all begins with the voice. And The Nylons have never even needed a band - they just needed their voices, their joy, and their abil-ity to entertain audiences.

Over the course of thisFREE MEDIA EVENT, the book of Revelation will be explored chapter by chapter by John Bradshaw ofIt Is Written Televisionwww.itiswritten.com.

In a world where many people are terrifi ed of what the future holds, many are surprised to fi nd that while Revelation holds answers to what will happen in the fi nal days of Earth’s history - it also contains a message of peace and hope for the future.

“The book of Revelation is possibly the most misunderstood and confusing book in the Bible, when in fact it is the revelation of Jesus Christ.

During this series, Bible subjects typically shrouded in confusion will be made clear as we learn how the messages in this book apply to our lives today.”

John Bradshaw.

PROPHECY has captured the attention of North America and the World. The topic has graced the covers of TIME and Newsweek. Many are wondering if the recent worldwide political and economic upheaval are signs of the end and are turning to the Bible for answers.

It is for this reason that a special series about the book of Revelation called REVELATION TODAY is being brought to Campbell River.

The expressions “it’s a jungle out there”,

“dog eat dog”, and “survival of the fit-test” all refer to the hardships wild life face in order to sur-vive.

Each year Moun-tainaire Avian Res-cue Society (MARS)receives birds or ani-mals that have been “snatched from the jaws of death.” All liv-ing creatures, includ-ing humans are part of a very intricate food chain in which each link depends on the others; a col-lapse at any level can destroy the chain.

If we all ate the same food it would not take long before all the available food would be consumed, so spe-cies have diversified and become special-ists. Species can be categorized according to their food prefer-ences; there are five main food groups, carnivores, herbi-vores, omnivores, insectivores and frugivores. Species are equipped with spe-cially adapted features such as beaks, feet, mouths, and teeth in order to access and consume the food. Carnivores, includ-ing raptors, seals and lions, are flesh eaters which they catch and consume using sharp teeth, beaks or talons. Herbivores eat a vari-ety of plants, flowers nectar or other vegeta-

tion; species include cows, deer, and swans. Insectivores consume a huge number of insects, their eggs and larvae which in turn keep the bug popula-tion under control; they also keep trees and plants healthy by gleaning insects from leaves, bark and buds.

Many bird species are invalu-able in this department including bats, swal-lows, nut-hatches and chickadees. Frugivores are often overlooked but are essen-tial seed dispersers ensuring that plants and trees continue to thrive. Orang-utans, fruit bats and monkey owls are examples of spe-cies that eat the fruit and then travel many miles before ridding themselves of the seeds.

Finally, the Omni-vores, also known as the “clean up crew.” These are often opportunistic feed-ers, (humans are in this group) eating a huge variety of foods. Omnivore bird species include crows, ravens and vultures.

By understanding this complex chain of specialized spe-cies and their food preferences, we can better understand why sometimes their feed-

ing habits offend us. Some birds are very specific with their choice of meat, some eagles almost exclu-sively dine on fish, others have a prefer-ence for deer or seal meat, whilst others supplement their diet in harsh winters with ducks, or other water fowl. It is not unusual

if food is in short supply for a hawk to prey upon an errant chicken that strays from the coop, it naturally preys on other birds. Owls are another spe-

cies that prefer a diet of rodents but it is normal for larger owls such as great horned, snowy, and barred owls to prey upon the smaller saw whet and pygmy owls. Many species protect them-selves from becoming prey by their choice of food and the time when they hunt, this way they eat different things and avoid their predators.

Although it is often difficult for us to wit-ness a raptor catch and devour its prey, we have to remember this is natural behav-iour. I think we would be less then elegant if we attempted to hold our food in our feet and eat with just our mouths. We would ask that anyone who

witnesses this normal feeding process to leave the birds to their fate. The predator will act more quickly and the prey will not suf-fer. It is almost certain a discarded meal will not survive the initial attack. We must also remember that rap-tors provide a valu-able service by culling the sick or weak birds. They take those birds that do not react nor-mally to the presence of the raptor. Many hawks also prey upon pigeons and starling both of these birds are invasive species, which are compet-ing for food with our native species.

Our wildlife poli-cies do not allow us to rehabilitate or release these species should they be found injured. Many small birds that gather in large flocks at the backyard feed-ers are particularly vulnerable to attack but in fact this helps keep their populations healthy.

Enjoy your bird watching and if you should witness a rap-tor feeding look upon this as a positive expe-rience and leave the bird to enjoy its meal, remember wildlife is protected by laws.

Please make sure you do not wrongly identify a bird that is catching another bird species. Beaks and feet will tell the tale. Slender short beaks cannot eat flesh they

are insectivores. To report injured wildlife please call our toll free number 1-800-304-9968, for any other informa-tion call 250-337-2021, or visit our web site at www.wingtips.org .

The U16 North Island Rage, sponsored bySaratoga Ventures, met the Nanaimo Raidersin the Island field lacrosse final on Saturday.

The two teams have enjoyed a close rivalryall season and were looking forward to an epicmatch to determine the Island champions.

North Island started out strong, maintainingpossession of the ball and took a 1-0 on a Tan-ner Jones goal, assisted by Brady Garrett.

Alec Molander then fought off four defend-ers to break through and make it 2-0. Molan-der scored two more and Garrett added oneto make the score 5-1 at the end of the firstquarter.

The Rage knew that Nanaimo could takeover the game at any time and continued theirdominant play, with big sticks Roy Uzzell, Col-ton Edwards, Nathan Hoff and Alex Kussauershutting down Nanaimo’s offense before theycould get close to goaltender Sal Burchill.

Molander went end-to-end early in the secondquarter to score in a jaw-dropping display ofathleticism. Speedy Anthony Vigneron addedthe Rage’s seventh goal and Graham Evans

It was becoming apparent that Nanaimo was no match for the focused, driven group they were facing. Jory

Clermont, Lucas Mar-riot Spencer and Grif-fin Whyley each added goals for the Rage to make it 12-1.

Midfielders Sam Kus-sauer and Bailey Rob-inson moved the ball quickly up the field and shut down Nanaimo’s midfield to nullify their ball possession. Jones and Whyley each added one more goal and Evans completed his hat trick for a 15-2 victory.

Coaches Doug Rob-inson and Joe Why-ley were extremely impressed with the discipline and team effort displayed in the resounding vic-tory. The team will be participating in the provincial champion-ships in Burnaby the Feb. 23-24.

The North Island Snowmobile Asso-ciation (NISA) will be hosting Snowarama at Mount Adrian on Sun-day (Feb. 17).

As usual, they will be collecting dona-tions on behalf of the BC Lions Society for Children with Dis-abilities as part of this annual event..

You can support the NISA when they

knock on your door seeking donations. Over $4 million has been raised for Eas-ter Seal houses in Vancouver, Victoria and Prince George since Snowarama began in 1978. Easter Seal houses provided over 39,000 room nights each year, at a minimal charge for the families to stay while their children

receive medical treat-ment. Some families stay for just a few nights while children attend appointments with specialists or for minor surgeries. Other families stay for weeks or months at a time as their child goes through major surgery or outpatient treatments like radia-tion, chemotherapy or rehabilitation pro-

grams.The BC Lions

Society for Children with Disabilities also operates Easter Seal Camps where every summer, over 850 children with cogni-tive and physical disabilities attend a week-long session at one of three camps located in Squamish, Winfield and Shawni-gan Lake. Campers

are encouraged to try new activities, be cre-ative and connect with their peers who face similar challenges in their day-to-day lives. Children with dis-abilities are accepted there for who they are and where anything is possible. Thanks to the support of donors, children who attend Easter Seal Camps do so free of charge.

Time to hit the powder at SnowaramaThe North Island Snowmobile Association will be hosting Snowarama at Mt. Adrian on Sunday. This annual event is fun for members and

their families and raises money for the BC Lions Society for Children with Disabilities.

Ask the Dentist

Answer: 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 periodon-tal 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.If you have a question you would like answered please email Carmen@dogwooddental.com

Do you have an old tree that you want to rejuvenate?

Are you planning on planting and want to give your tree or shrub a fruitful start?

Join the latest Let-tuce Grow class on Saturday, Feb. 16 for a hands-on and infor-mative workshop with expert horticulturalist and edible landscaper

Helena Har twood. Learn about reasons for pruning, types of pruning cuts, when to prune and what to use.

Find out how pruning can prevent and man-

age pest problems. Instructors and stu-

dents will be onsite in a beautiful multi-aged orchard at Ripple Rock Farm on Quadra Island where partici-

pants can see how to prune, and give it a try themselves.

Hartwood is a wealth of knowledge and will answer your pruning questions.

To top it off, par-ticipants will head inside later in the day to warm up and enjoy some of the fruits of our labors over a loca-vore (made with local ingredients) lunch prepared by passion-ate local chefs Moreka Jolar and Heidi Schei-fley (The Cooks Coop-erative and co-authors of the Hollyhock Cook-books).

Participants will meet at Ripple Rock Farm (you will receive a map). A carpool will leave from the North Island Campbell River campus if there is inter-est. For more informa-tion or to register visit http://www.nic.bc.ca/continuingeducation/ or call Julia Peters at 250-923-9724.

“There is nothing more consequential today than our rela-tionship with food: decisions made about how and where we

grow it and what we eat are paramount,” says Jolar.

“There’s more to growing food than most people assume, there’s an art to every aspect of it that factors into the quality of nutri-tion (and quantity!) you gain from the fruit. Because each cut has the potential to change the growth of the tree, no branch should be removed without a reason,” adds Kira DeSorcy, Lettuce Grow Lead Instructor.

There is a lot of fruit that could be harvested in Campbell River, and many varieties that could be planted. Did you know, you can even grow peach trees here if pruned correctly?

“We have a lot of fruit trees in Campbell River that need some TLC. There’s so much potential here,” says Chelsea Holley, back-yard gardener.
