The ghosts of the past are being stirred up at the Berwick by the Sea retire-

ment community. So who better to

capture them than ghostwriters?Students from Timberline Sec-

ondary School’s English 12 have been gathering stories from resi-dents in a series of visits to Ber-wick in a project dubbed Writes of Passage. The students, working

in teams of writers, artists, edi-tors and book designers, will turn the recollections of the resident seniors into first-person “mem-oirs” to be published in a book that will be donated to the Berwick by the Sea library next month.

“We’ve been talking with them and taking notes, of any story they want to be told,” Timberline stu-dent Halle Weyler said. “We’re tak-ing these stories and making them our own.”

They came with signs, children and their voices and they filled the public gallery to overflowing at Monday night’s council meeting.

More than 70 early childhood edu-cators, advocates, parents and their children descended on city hall to encourage city council to endorse a plan for $10 a day child care.

While council didn’t go so far as to endorse the plan in its entirety, councillors did support the concept in principle and that seemed to sat-isfy the crowd which let out a cheer following the vote.

After a couple of attempts by coun-cil to nail down what it was trying to say, councillors in the end voted to endorse in principle $10 a day child care by sending an endorsement in principle letter from mayor and council expressing how it will ben-

efit the community.Councillors Michele Babchuk, Charlie Cornfield,

Colleen Evans and Larry Samson were in favour while councillors Ron Kerr, Marlene Wright and Mayor Andy Adams were opposed.

Coun. Kerr said he felt there were other alternatives to dealing with child poverty while Coun. Wright was concerned there were too many holes in the proposal.

Adams he supported the concept of affordable day-care but was worried about how the province would pay for the plan which is estimated to cost roughly $1.5 billion a year to implement if it were to include all children under the age of six.

But Coun. Cornfield said that’s something that the province can work out down the road. He said by sup-porting the plan in principle, council was simply say-ing it supports helping those who are most in need.

“It’s saying we definitely support the concept of helping the most vulnerable in our community and Campbell River has always been known for that,” Cornfield said. “It’s saying it supports the $10 a day in principle. How it gets paid for will be worked out.”

Coun. Babchuk agreed and said it was about local government having the opportunity to bring the issue of child poverty to a higher government body.

“This is an exercise in communication here, it’s an opportunity to bring issues in our community to the province,” Babchuk said. “All we’re doing is exercising our right to communicate that this has the ability to help people in our area.”

Coun. Samson, who has been vocal in his support for organizations like Success by 6 and encouraged council at its last meeting May 11 to support the plan, reiterated that Campbell River’s child poverty rate is higher than the provincial average at 22.8 per cent and that Campbell River children rate lower for stan-dards of reading and writing compared to their pro-vincial counterparts. Samson also reminded council that Dr. Charmaine Enns, Island Health’s chief medi-cal officer, has said in the past that initiatives such as the $10 a day plan help reduce child poverty because it puts more money in the pockets of parents. It also allows more parents to enter the workforce.

“This is the time to make the change, to break the trend,” Samson said. “Daycare should be available to all families, not just the ones that can afford it.”

Samson added that one of council’s strategic goals states that a community’s strength is defined by how it treats its most vulnerable.

“And that’s what we’re talking about here tonight.”While council backed off on fully endorsing the

plan, which 40 other regional district and local gov-ernments have done – including Campbell River’s School District 72 – council will still send a letter of endorsement in principle.

Under the plan, funding for daycare would fall under the mandate of the provincial Ministry of Education and would be subsidized by the province, allowing for affordable daycare – $10 a day for full-time care, $7 a day for children attending daycare part-time and free for families with annual incomes below $40,000.

Currently daycare on average in Campbell River costs $987 per month for toddlers and $735 each month for 3-to-5-year-olds.

The plan would also raise the wages of early child-hood educators to $25 an hour and would put an early childhood educator in each kindergarten and Grade 1 classroom.


A small pleasure craft caught fire Friday morning shortly after setting out from the dock.

Fire Chief Ian Baikie said the 34-foot long boat was out at sea when the fire broke out just before 10:30 a.m.

“The boat had left the dock in Campbell River and it wasn’t long out when the engine caught fire,” Baikie said. “He called the Coast Guard which

put hoses on it but they couldn’t get it out.”

Baikie said the Coast Guard cutter, the Cape Palmerston, removed the occupants from the boat and then towed the craft to the cruise ship terminal where fire crews were waiting.

Two fire trucks and 10 fire fighters were on scene and used hose lines to extinguish the fire. Baikie said the cause of the fire, which broke out just minutes after the boat left the harbour, is unknown.

The local Riding Association and Elizabeth May, Leader of The Green Party of Canada recently introduced their candidate for North Island Pow-ell River.

“We need to see a real change in Ottawa; a change that is people-driven,” said the newly-named candi-date, Brenda Sayers.

The announcement on Sunday was made at the joint Federal/Provincial Green Party rally in Nanaimo and live-streamed across Canada. The Party has now finalized the line-up of All Star candidates for the seven Van-couver Island ridings.

As a member of the Hupacasath First Nation, Brenda Sayers fought the ratification of the Canada-China Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (FIPA) for the

past two-and-a-half years on behalf of her community and of all people of Canada.

This experience has given Sayers the determination and drive to continue working for Canadians’ rights and liberty.

Joining other outstanding Green Party candidates on Vancouver Island, such as Jo-Ann Roberts (Vic-toria) and Paul Manly (Nanaimo Ladysmith) Sayers said, “I am excited and honoured to be the Green Party candidate for the North Island Pow-ell River riding and I look forward to being part of a large Green Party cau-cus in Parliament.”

Sayers will be joined by Elizabeth May for her Campaign Launch at the K’omoks Big Hall (3330 Comox Road) on Friday, June 5 at 6 p.m.

Federal political scene greening up

Brenda Sayers was named Green Party can-didate for North Island Powell River Sunday.

Each year, the Community Foundation of Campbell River offers grants to many worthwhile local agencies.

PROCESS

Timberline students, Berwick seniors have the write stuffThe experience has

been an eye-opener for the youths. They’ve heard tales from those who fought in long-ago wars — or lived under nightly blackout condi-tions on the home front — immigrants home-steading an untamed wilderness without run-ning water, electricity or any of the conveniences they’ve grown up taking for granted; and times of stark deprivation recounted with a smile and a “that’s just the way it was” shrug.

The students have read about these events in history books but seemed shocked to find people who lived that history living in their community.

“One story I thought was cool was a girl who lived through the Great Depression,” said Wey-ler. “I didn’t expect it would be that far back.”

The project was the brainchild of teacher Rachel Nelson and was sparked by the death of her own grandmother.

“It caused me to remember stories she had told me,” said Nel-

son. “When I realized my children weren’t going to hear those sto-ries I thought I better write them down in a hurry.”

The project also falls within School District 72’s strategic plan of integrating students into their community while learning through self-directed and collabora-tive projects.

For the Grade 12 stu-dents who will enter the adult world in earnest in a couple of months, Nel-son felt it was important

to deliver a rite of pas-sage experience that lent the project its name.

“There is no set out-come; it’s really just about having really rich conversations with peo-ple outside their normal circle,” said Nelson. “To pull them out of their structured classes and do something organic in their community.”

The published book is simply a “thank you” payback to Berwick by the Sea, she said. Each resident’s tale will be accompanied by an

art element and cover a two-page spread in the book. Each spread will be identified with a theme, depending on the nature of the story. A small biography of each resident will also be included.

The residents volun-teered for the program through a sign-up sheet, and those taking part seem to genuinely enjoy the interaction.

“They have some dumb questions and some very smart ques-tions,” John Rozema said with a laugh. “They haven’t really experienced life yet, but they’re good kids. It’s a nice experience.”

During a visit by students last Thursday, residents paired off with student interviewers while Weyler and fellow Grade 12 Ben Camp-bell took turns shoot-ing photos and video. After completing her interview, student Beth Marcaccini plopped in a comfortable chair and began a pencil sketch of the scene that may eventually turn into one of the art works in the book. Some of the inter-

views involved a fairly balanced question-and-answer dynamic. In some cases, though, the resident simply launched into the story and the student was left to try to keep up with pencil and notepad. Some residents brought yellowed photographs to show, and Nelson

scanned several for pos-sible use in the book.

In at least one case, the tables were turned. After sharing her story, inquisitive resident Colleen Godard began grilling Grade 12 stu-dent Fraser Stewart on his own family’s back-ground and his plans. She then hustled back

to her apartment for a tablet so she could take her own photos with Stewart.

“I think it’s a wonder-ful idea,” Godard said of the Writes of Passage project. “It makes the younger generation see that being old isn’t the worst thing in the world.”

The city’s Homeless-ness Coalition, in its present form, will fold, following a decision by its members to disband the group.

Six members signed a letter, dated April 16 and served to council on its May 11 meeting agenda, offering their resignation.

Coalition members said they chose to resign from the group in order to join a new commu-nity-based organization being formed to address i s sues sur rounding homelessness and com-munity health.

“Through a strength-ened commitment in our efforts to eradicate homelessness and pov-erty in Campbell River, members have chosen to move forward by creat-ing a community com-

mittee to address issues of homelessness, housing and poverty in Camp-bell River,” the members wrote in their joint letter to council.

Mayor Andy Adams said the new committee will have council’s full support.

“We’re all looking for-ward to continuing to work together collabora-tively to help the commu-nity committee accom-plish their goals,” Adams said in a release.

He said among other things, the community committee will work toward the establishment of a Community Health Network that includes several community stake-holders.

T h e S t r a t h c o n a Regional District, in partnership with Island Health, is currently in the preliminary stages of determining the feasibil-

ity of such a program. Community Health Net-works work to help health care providers pin point what specific regional issues are contributing to poor health for its citi-zens. The Network aims to improve health and well-being by focusing on circumstances that affect a person’s health such as where they were born, where they grew up, where they live, work and age.

Issues identified in this region include homeless-ness, affordable hous-ing and transportation, social support networks, employment opportuni-ties, access to services, and education.

Island Health has initi-ated a reference group as part of the Community Health Network forma-tion phase consisting of Island Health’s Dr. Jeff Beselt, executive medical

director, Dr. Charmaine Enns, North Island med-ical health officer, Tony O’Keefe, vice-president and chief of communi-cations and public rela-tions, representatives from the division of family practice, as well as Strathcona Regional District directors Noba Anderson, Jude Schoo-ner and Ron Kerr. The Health Network is just one component of the new community home-lessness committee which will continue on with the work that the Homeless-ness Coalition volunteers have put in over the years.

The Coalition was formed in 2010 under past mayor and cur-rent councillor Charlie Cornfield, on a recom-mendation from the Homelessness Task Force which was created in the spring of 2009. The task force was set up to exam-

ine homelessness in the community and provide city council with recom-mendations on how to alleviate the problem.

The Homelessness C o a l i t i on op e r ate d under the ‘Housing First’ approach, which sup-ports permanent low-barrier, supportive hous-ing with a focus on harm reduction. The goal of the

‘Housing First’ approach is to immediately house people who are without a home no matter what their condition or situa-tion. Between 2012 and 2014, the coalition pro-vided funding support for a temporary worker at Palmer Place; funded a study to explore part-nership opportunities for the development of a

30-plus unit supportive housing complex for the homeless; volunteered more than 900 hours; and developed the Camp-bell River Community Homelessness Strategy, which identified the need for a low-barrier shel-ter, additional extreme weather shelter and a homeless hub for ser-vices.

In the end, city council decided to endorse a $10 a day daycare in principle without fully endorsing the plan proposed by the Community Plan for a Public System of Integrated Early Care and Learning.

Some councillors were rightly asking how the prov-ince would pay for such a system but others decided that could be worked out later and that it wasn’t council’s responsibility to figure it out. The question arises as to whether this was council’s issue at all. Do our municipal governments not have enough issues dumped on their laps by senior levels of government without councillors taking on provincial responsibili-ties voluntarily?

Anyway, speaking of childish behaviour, why do people involved in issues about the care of children insist on bringing their kids out to protest for them? You see it in teacher disputes and daycare supporters felt the need to trot out their kids past their bedtimes to a boring city council meeting. At least the kids were quiet it was the adults who were rowdy. Mayor Andy Adams quipped, when asking the gallery to be quiet, that this was not a gymnasium.

The gallery got its support from council so was all the unruly behaviour really necessary? Not intend-ing to sound like an old curmudgeon here, but what did they think they were teaching their kids with that behaviour?

Rowdy gallery gets its way

Our View

Battling Queen Anne’s lace on steroidsA substantial swath of the

community, from conservancy groups to social organiza-tions to individual volunteers, has taken it upon themselves to sweep away the pervasive Scotch broom that is taking over large tracts of land in and around Campbell River.

Meanwhile, though, a real nasty customer appears to be gaining a foothold not far off the beaten path.

Giant hogweed, originally an ornamental from Asia, has been creeping its way into the B.C. landscape for nearly a decade. And this is one plant you don’t want getting under your skin.

Not merely invasive and a threat to crowd out native plant species, giant hogweed is actually a risk to public health. The sap of the plant, expressed through hairs in the stem and leaves, can cause burns, blis-tering, discolouration and scarring when it contacts skin. Rubbed in the eye, it can cause temporary or permanent blind-ness.

It’s also a plant that keeps on

giving. The caustic sap sensi-tizes the skin to UV radiation, so that it can continue to burn for years after initial contact if exposed to sunlight.

Described as “Queen’s Anne Lace on steroids”, giant hog-weed also closely resembles native cow parsnip, though it can grow much larger.

B.C. authorities are well aware of the plant’s spread and its danger, and are taking steps to both control it and alert the public to its dan-gers and safe meth-ods of removal.

Worksafe BC has issued a toxic plant warning and pro-duced a video on identifica-tion, precautions and removal guidelines.

The Invasive Species Council also has a substantial databank of information. The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natu-ral Resource Operations pro-vided $1.7 million last month to combat hogweed and other

invasives.Much of this largesse will be

shared through local invasive species organizations.

To the south, the Friends of French Creek Conservation Society and Qualicum Beach

Streamkeepers play active roles in con-trolling infestations, which occur par-ticularly along water courses.

Campbell River does not have such an organizat ion, though Greenways Land Trust has taken a leading role in removing broom in

the area.And while both the province

and Strathcona Regional Dis-trict have plans and budgets in place to deal with hogweed and other invasives on their own lands, that does not apply to infestations on private prop-erty.

One of those infestations appears to be under way in a forested area along the Oys-ter River. The property is held

by a private owner, but is shot through with trails accessed by residents and visitors in the area. The cool, shaded paths and river access that draw hik-ers are also the perfect breeding spot for giant hogweed, which appears to be starting to crowd and even overhang parts of the trail.

One might be prompted to claim the owner is responsible for removing these toxic plants. On the other hand, the owner might simply exercise the right to fence off the property and deny all public access.

In a case like this, the respon-sibility for our safety must fall, in large part, right back on us. No different than being aware of our surroundings and taking safety precautions on the water, in avalanche zones or hiking in remote areas, caution must be taken even on a simple stream-side walk.

A basic internet search will show you how to identify giant hogweed. Arm yourself and your children with knowl-edge. Otherwise, you might get burned.

“Geographers advocate big changes for Camp-bellton”

Ian McDougall – To make tourism start to click like Victoria, there has to be a tourist transportation ser-vice from the Quadra Ferry to Campbellton (lower river access), then all the way up to the new Elk Falls suspension bridge.

That transportation system should actually start at Willow Point (Frank James Park Carving site, Sybil Andrews, Lion’s Hall, Willow Creek Estuary/Ken Forde boat launch and beach). A few older style log-ging trucks converted for open air seating – mind you, with overhead protection from the elements!

Children are an investment in our future – Campbell River Mirror, May

Sharon Elizabeth Gregson – Well said Kristen. Thanks for speaking up for investment into quality affordable child care for Campbell River’s children. If our province can afford to invest in LNG then we can certainly afford to invest in the $10aDay Plan - great returns for children’s development, women’s equality family well-being, and our economy.

It’s that time of year again.

Home owners can expect to get their prop-erty tax bill in the mail sometime this week.

Taxes will be due no later than July 2.

In February, council approved a 1.69 per cent residential tax increase for 2015, which equates to $24.02 more for the average assessed home.

To arrive at that figure, council took $200,000 out of the city’s general operating surplus in order to pare down what would have otherwise been a 2.64 per cent tax increase.

Property tax bills will not only include the city tax but also the taxes the city collects on behalf of the school district, Strathcona Regional District, the hospital,

BC Assessment Author-ity and the Municipal Finance Authority.

“Charges on the top half of the city’s tax notice such as Net School Taxes and Net Other Government Taxes are collected by the city and passed directly on to those other agencies,” said Dennis Brodie, the city’s finance operations supervisor, in a release. “They are separate from city property taxes, even though they show up on our notice.”

Property taxes can be mailed to the city or paid in person at city hall. The city will accept post-dated cheques as well as payment by debit card.

The city cannot accept payment by credit card.

If taxes are not paid by July 2, residents will be hit with a 10 per cent penalty.

The city asks that any-one who does not receive

a tax notice by June 6, that they contact the city’s finance department at 250-286-5715.

Along with the prop-erty tax bill, residents will also receive a fre-quently asked questions letter and an applica-tion form to be pre-authorized for the city’s withdrawal system for the pre-payment of 2016 property taxes.

Quick facts

n Every $100 the aver-age household pays in taxes is divided between the federal ($50), provin-cial ($42), and municipal ($8) governments.

n The average Camp-bell River household, assessed at $264,000 will pay $195 per month in taxes.

Potential hogweed infestation worries residentsJ.R. RARDON

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A resident of a rural Oyster River neighbour-hood is concerned about an apparent influx of toxic Giant hogweed along popular area trails, but local and provincial government agencies may have no recourse in removing the poten-tially dangerous invasive plants.

“It’s off and running here,” said Bruce Giles, who lives just off Glen-more Road. “It’s not a good scene.”

G i a n t h o g w e e d , sometimes mistakenly referred to as giant cow parsnip, is a noxious, invasive plant in B.C. It resembles native cow parsnip but can grow much larger, up to 5-6 metres in height. Small hairs on the stems and leaves of the plant con-tain a poisonous sap that can cause severe irrita-tion, burns and blistering when it contacts exposed skin.

Perhaps most insidi-ous, the sap sensitizes skin to ultraviolet radia-tion, meaning the site of

the contact can continue to burn for several years afterward, each time it is exposed to sunlight.

In severe cases, perma-nent scars can result, and if the sap comes in con-tact with the eyes it can cause temporary or even permanent blindness.

Because of the plant’s risk to public health, both the province and Strathcona Regional District have manage-ment plans in place to remove the plants from parks and lands under their control.

“It’s been a known

problem in Southwest B.C. for, I would say, the last 10 years, at least,” said Becky Brown of the Ministry of For-ests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. “That’s when it really came on our radar. Due to the potential health impacts, it tends to be dealt with quite aggres-sively.”

Strathcona Regional District’s Community Services Division con-firmed it has a work plan and budget for the man-agement of hogweed and other invasive species for 2015 within its parks.

However, the com-mon-use trails along which the plants have sprung up off the end of Glenmore Road are actu-ally located on a private forestry property.

“Unfortunately, our regional district does not have a tool or mech-anism, or management enforcement proce-dure, in place to request private landowners to remove invasive species that appear on the land,” said Ralda Hansen, com-munity services manager for SRD.

The regional district has identified areas for invasive species con-trol including the Oys-ter River Nature Park, located just across High-way 19 from the area of concern to Giles. Simi-larly, the province, which maintains a database of verified noxious weed locations, has an infested site mapped on provin-cial land just across the river from the Glenmore trails.

Brown said the prov-ince does not have a veri-fied report of giant hog-weed in the Glenmore area specifically, and

was unable to determine from photos whether the plants growing there now are actually hog-weed or not. If they are, however, their manage-ment will probably fall to the owner.

“General ly speak-ing, private landown-ers are responsible (for noxious plant control),” said Brown. “Our goal is to manage the plant in high-risk areas, where public contact is likely. With other land owners, we strongly encourage them to manage control.”

Left to its own devices, each plant produces about 50,000 seeds, which have wings that allow them to f loat through the air for days. Once they do come to earth, they can remain viable for up to 15 years.

Provincial invasive species control is man-aged through the Inva-sive Species Council of BC, which in April was awarded a $1.7 million grant to help control their spread in the prov-ince. The province also provides management information for private owners who wish to con-trol giant hogweed and other invasive plants on their own land.

A video is available from Worksafe BC, and information is available online from the Invasive Species Council and the BC Ministry of Agricul-ture.

“My kid knows about it, and he tells all his friends,” said Giles, who has an 11-year-old son. “There are families here with two- and four-year-olds. I don’t want to see anybody getting into that.

“If that hits your skin, Lord help you.”

BC Hydro to re-route trailThe John Hart project

continues to change the face of the landscape around the power gen-erating station, and the public has only a few days remaining to walk across the front of the generation station

The next phase of the project includes the clos-ing off and re-direction of a section of the Can-yon View Trail. The final day the trail will be avail-able to the public is May 31, and it will be closed beginning June 1.

“There were many complicated and impor-tant issues surrounding the John Hart Generat-ing Station Replacement Project when we engaged the Campbell River com-munity, and one of the top points of interests was ‘what are you going to do to our trail?’” says BC Hydro spokesperson, Stephen Watson. “The approximate one-hour Canyon View Trail loop along either side of the Campbell River is a real gem to the community and BC Hydro heard that very clearly. And the good news is the broader trail loop through BC Hydro property will be maintained throughout the project construction period.”

Through project miti-gation and compensa-tion, in 2013, BC Hydro constructed the Station

View Trail that branches off the Canyon View Trail near the bottom of First Island, and off the Millennium Trail up above. Directional sig-nage will be posted on June 1 so people know where to go and the distances involved. The detoured trail will add about 400 metres to the broader trail loop.

The Station View Trail includes a wooden bridge that crosses the three penstocks. From the bridge, views include overlooking the generat-ing station and Campbell River downstream, and on the other side, the construction site beside

the underground por-tals. The trail also passes through a forested area.

And the good news is the existing parking lot by the trail system and the river will remain open. BC Hydro says people will be able to walk from the parking lot along a short section of trail to view, from a safe distance, the water coming out of the sta-tion. The trail will be closed off just where the steps go down to the front of the station. The area where the commer-cial operator Destiny River Adventures enters the river will be unaf-fected by these changes.

Up above, the Canyon View Trail will be closed off at the Millennium Trail intersection, to then connect to the Sta-tion View Trail.

“Once the new hydro-electric facilities are commissioned in fall 2018, there will be a period of decommis-sioning the old hydro-electric facilities in early 2019,” says Watson. “Once that’s done, the section of the Canyon View Trail that we are closing off now will be put back, somewhere near the river. Those details are a ways off yet and have not been designed.”

The Canyon View trail, a portion of which appears at the bottom of this image of the John Hart Power Generating Station, will be re-routed beginning June 1.

Grandmothers plant seed of careKRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

As the morning sun shines down on those gathered in the backyard of the Sybil Andrews Cottage, the Grand-mothers to Grandmoth-ers group couldn’t have asked for better condi-tions for its first plant sale.

But it’s not your typical garden sale.

The plants are already nestled into beautiful baskets and containers and there’s more than just the greenery.

There are also garden-themed crafts, hand-

made by the women in the Campbell River chapter of the Grand-mothers to Grandmoth-ers group, and tea – com-plete with home-made baking – served on silver trays.

In the background comes the sounds of the cello played by Marcia Haley.

The event, which took place Saturday, was held to raise money for the Stephen Lewis Foun-dation which supports social programs and health services in Africa.

T h e G r a n d m ot h -ers to Grandmothers group provides funding

through the foundation for African grandpar-ents raising their grand-children who have been orphaned due to AIDS.

Grandmothers groups on Vancouver Island have raised $2.2 million towards the cause, with $66,000 of that com-ing from the Campbell River Grandmothers to Grandmothers group, which was established in October, 2008.

The Stephen Lewis Foundat ion , w hich started in 2003, launched the Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign in March of 2006 to raise awareness, build solidar-

ity and mobilize funds for Africa.

It has since grown to more than 200 grand-mother groups across the country, involving 5,000 women, who sup-port African grandmoth-ers through the Stephen Lewis Foundation.

Since its establishment, the foundation has sup-ported more than 250 projects in 15 African nations that provide care to women who are ill and struggling to survive, assist orphans and other AIDS-affected children, and sustain networks of people living with HIV and AIDS.

With special thanks to ourPLATINUM SPONSOR

Scott Auramenko, Financial Advisor made sure RBC Dominion Securiti es became a strong supporter of the Rod Brind’Amour Cysti c Fibrosis Golf Classic the very fi rst year of the event. He began by canvassing their fund companies for prizes and aucti on items and quickly became a Plati num sponsor. In 1999, the two Scott s were recognized for their “signifi cant contributi on to the fi ght against CF, through their excepti onal work and extraordinary support of the Golf Classic” as the Tournament’s inaugural ‘Eagle 97.3 FM Trophy’ co-winners. Originally from Saskatchewan, Scott gravitated to the west coast 20 years ago and lives in Campbell River with his wife Treena and their sons, Zach and Hunter. Scott is happy that every day at RBC he is able to assist clients in building and securing their fi nancial future. Scott is pleased that their support means so much to the tournament and to people who fi ght cysti c fi brosis every day of their lives.

7 DAYS OF SAVINGS - May 25 - 31

25 26 27 28 29 30 31


Hard work, dedica-tion, and teamwork has paid dividends for the talented dancers of CR DanceXtreme Inc.

This season alone, they have won numer-ous awards for group and solo routines in various styles of dance.

At Tremaine Dance Competition in Vancou-ver, WA, their youngest dancers competed and-won “Top Overall” score in their age division.

In Maple Ridge, B.C., their dancers stole the show at the Synergy Dance Competit ion with three “TopOverall” awards in three styles of dance.

Each of the three adju-dicators chose one of their dances for the “Best Overall” in the entire competition.

Recently, in Nanaimo at the Core Dance Com-petition, their soloists and groups placed first in several categories.

They had two groups and one soloist, Emiko Koizumi, place in the “Top Ten” overall.

Artistic Directors, Shawna Sloan and Buddy Mynatt, are now prepar-ing the dancers for their final dance competition of the season which will

be held in Las Vegas at the “West Coast Dance Explosion Competition” in July.

Currently, the danc-ers of CR DanceXtreme Inc. are preparing for the upcoming recital shows, “Postcards from Afar” (Thursday evening, Sat-

During the month of March I had the good fortune of visiting one of my favourite medi-cal labs in Birmingham, Alabama. Atherotech is the industry leader for early identification and successful manage-ment of cardiometabolic disease. They run stan-dard blood tests as well as their signature lipid analysis called the VAP. VAP stands for Vertical Auto Profile technology.

I was met with all the hospitality of the deep south, by my favou-rite educator Kenneth French. For three hours he gave me a guided tour of the lab and then reviewed the science

behind the VAP test. We only were able to tour half the lab in that time!

Atherotech is one of its kind, measuring the actual levels of the lip-ids in the blood. They have a large footprint in their lab dedicated to doing this one test at an investment of hun-dreds of thousands of dollars. They receive blood samples from around the world as no other heart lab offers the accuracy of this test. I saw blood samples just like mine, arrive by FedEX first thing in the morning. The samples are recorded and then centrifuged vertically at 60,000 rpm for 45 min-

utes. The specialized plastic tube they use for this has to withstand this force. This separates all the lipid layers by weight and then they are measured using a light tech-nology. Lipids measured by standard blood tests are a cal-culation and not actual measure-ments.

There are sev-eral important differ-ences in measuring lip-ids this way. According to Dr. Davis, who wrote the book “The Wheat Belly”, measuring the size of the LDL and HDL

cholesterols is important to see how predictive they are of a cardiovas-cular event. Half of the

p e opl e w ho have a cardio-vascular event have so called normal cho-lesterol read-ings. What all of these Heart Labs around the U.S. are try-ing to discover is what other risk factors do

these folks have that are not currently main-stream?

The fact that choles-terol itself causes cardio-vascular events is highly controversial and what

we see on the VAP test-ing is that the high lev-els of LDL cholesterol oxidize the arterial walls and raise an inflamma-tory marker called Lipo-protein Pla2, implicated in the formation of rup-ture prone plaque. This inflammatory marker definitely is reduced with the use of statin drugs.

Dr. Davis also finds that when people avoid wheat and gluten, their LDL particle size gets larger, and this is ideal for transporting lipids in the blood, preventing them from inflaming arterial walls. I use this test to confirm that statins are effective for the patient

and I also confirm dos-ages. Some can lower their dosages and still get the desired effects; often I can use natural remedies to get the same effect. There are very few Canadians offering this test to their patients. I am so very happy that I have this tool to help people make decisions about their care plans. It is also one of the best tests to determine insu-lin resistance, which is the body’s inability to metabolize sugars in the blood efficiently. Insulin resistance is a risk factor for all kinds of inflam-matory diseases includ-ing diabetes, cancer and Alzheimer’s Disease.

Using my treatment plans I am able to show patients their improve-ment over time.

May is Stroke Aware-ness Month. By using the VAP testing with Atherotech and other cardiovascular r isk parameters such as CRP, homocysteine, vitamin D, GGT and uric acid, I am able to educate patients on how they can help prevent stroke and other cardiovascu-lar events.

Young athlete to travel to Uganda

KRISTEN DOUGLAS/CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

High steppingCampbell River’s Taylor Arbeau, right, is in hot pursuit of the ball during a U13/14 match versus the Comox Valley last Saturday after-noon at Pinecrest school field. Campbell River Youth Soccer action resumes next weekend.

In just a few short weeks a young coach with the Campbell River Athletic Association will travel half the world away to share her love of rugby and bring the joy of play to high school youth in northern Uganda.

Georgia Bellamy, a Gr. 12 student at GP Vanier in Courtenay, will be joining this year’s Gain-line Africa tour as a coach. She will take her experiences from the past five years with her on this journey including playing in the front row, coaching with the Camp-bell River youth rugby program and winning provincial and national gold medals with her high school, regional and provincial teams.

Gainline Africa is a unique international development organiza-tion that uses rugby as a tool for re-building in post-conflict Northern Uganda. Bellamy, along-side the other selected Canadians and their Ugandan partners, will provide hands-on sup-

port acting as mentors, coaches, and friends to the secondary students by offering value-based rugby programs that support a healthy life-style. At the same time, the Gainline participants will learn about develop-ment issues and have the opportunity to experi-ence a culture and com-munity far from home.

For Bellamy, she is fol-lowing in the footsteps of her inspirational grand-mother. Hilda Shilliday, 85, has just returned from her seventh trip to Uganda where she volunteers in an HIV/AIDS clinic and supports development through sponsoring education and health initiatives.

B e l l amy ’s mot he r joined Shilliday in 2010 and now, according to the young athlete, “Uganda has become much more than a country where my grandmother volunteers. It is a place where our family has built many lasting relationships and friendships. Now, fol-lowing my grandmother

and mother’s footsteps, it is my turn to do what I can to support Uganda in continuing to be an amazing country.”

Bellamy’s trip begins in early June and she is making the final prepa-rations. Bellamy will be taking rugby items such as shoes, balls, and cloth-ing, which will be distrib-uted by Gainline Africa to players and teams in

need. To support Bel-lamy in her journey and the work of Gainline Africa you can visit her Canada Helps fundrais-ing page at www.cana-dahelps.org/en/pages/georgias-coaching-tour/ or contact her at [email protected]. Any-one with rugby items to send along can contact Bellamy before June 5 to arrange pick-up.

Georgia Bellamy, left, will be travelling to Uganda to share her love of rugby. It’s a coun-try where her grandmother, Hilda Shilliday, right, has provided humanitarian care.

High Profile Speakers at theBusiness Leader Luncheons The Chamber’s first Business Leader Luncheon with high profile guest speak-er, Jessica McDonald, President & CEO of BC Hydro proved to be a great success. With over 70 guests, the luncheon was both engaging and informative. The Chamber is excited to announce the next Business Leader Luncheon with Kris Mailman Sr, CEO of Seymour Pacific Developments and Broadstreet Proper-ties. June 11th will be the opportunity to hear from Kris Mailman Sr. and tour the new downtown Seymour Pacific building as part of the Business Leaders Luncheon series being presented by the Campbell River Chamber. Tickets are now on sale at www.campbellriverchamber.ca. Both Broadstreet Properties and Seymour Pacific Developments were founded on hard work, strong family val-ues and a progressive vision. The story traces its roots to owner Kris Mailman’s childhood, during which he spent long hours on construction sites managed by his father’s business, Mailman Construction. Those job sites are where Kris learned firsthand what

it takes to succeed in the construction industry, and where he developed the strong work ethic that would become the fabric of the organization represent-ed today as Broadstreet Properties and Seymour Pacific Developments. Having recognized that Campbell River is truly a great place to raise your children and your grandchildren there was no contest when it came to relocat-ing his head offices here. “I started the company here and even though we’ve grown nationally, I wanted to maintain the head office in Campbell River.” he says. The buildings that Seymour Pacific purchased had been derelict for quite some time and had been long in need of replacement. Now, the vacant lot has been replaced with a five story state of the art constructed building, complete with Energy efficient LEED standards, an engineered office building that houses the growing team required to manage the thousands of rental units of Seymour Pacific’s affiliate Broadstreet Develop-ments, and the expanding staff contin-gent for Seymour Pacific itself.

”Our Chamber believes that education is one of the most important invest-ments in the future eco-nomic prosperity of our region and province, and that the business com-munity, who are the pro-viders of economic pros-perity, should have the opportunity to help shape direction, stated Chamber President Colleen Evans. At a recent Chamber Lun-cheon on Thursday, May 21, at Sequoia Springs golf course, the Chamber took action to advocate on be-half of members for the opportunity to hear more about what is happening in our education system and how that impacts

business, employers and our community overall. Local businesses came out to the recent Cham-ber luncheon held at Se-quoia Springs golf course, to hear what the state of education is in our com-munity from kindergarten through to post-second-ary. Guests learned how North Island College and SD72 are collaborating to ensure opportunities are available through ed-ucation, to support our community and what role municipal government is taking to facilitate this. Panelists included May-or Andy Adams who spoke to the new four-year municipal plan; Randall

Heidt, VP Strategic Initia-tives North Island College (NIC) identified innovation and new opportunities at NIC; and Tom Longridge, CEO of SD72, shared infor-mation on the significant changes in our education system. Panelist highlights in-cluded:• Recent updates on in-ternational students, ex-change students and our relationships with China and Japan;• What’s happening in Campbell River to meet the needs of the tech sec-tor, technology and the creative industries;• Funding decisions that will impact kindergarten

through to post secondary• How Campbell Riv-er will have access to a skilled workforce to meet employer needs• New opportunities in

Campbell River for collab-oration around education “What these engaging panelists had to say has importance for not only the business communi-

ty and employers but for our future and community well-being”, said Chamber Board Chair, Corby Lamb.

UPCOMING EVENTS:

Chamber members sampled fabulous food, made great connec-tions and found new clients at the Chamber Business After Hours event held onsite at Signature Oil and Vin-egar. The store was packed and many were new clients who experi-enced for the first time the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar tasting bar. “Campbell River is recognized as an agriculture and local food hub, commented Chamber President Col-leen Evans, and both amateur and profes-sional cooks alike ap-preciate easy access to locally grown products

and now we’ve add-ed a large selection of speciality seasonal oils and quality vinegars to inspire them.” The Business After Hours events are one of the many benefits and added value that being a Chamber mem-ber provides and only a Chamber member can host an After Hours event. “Joining the Camp-bell River Chamber of Commerce is the best business decision we have made since open-ing our Tyee Plaza store. Almost immediately, we were more plugged into the community and have had the op-

portunity to make im-portant connections and expand our cus-tomer base. Our recent Business Mix and Min-

gle event was an out-standing success due in large part to the sup-port and expertise of Chamber staff. Anyone

looking to succeed in this marketplace would be well served to join the Chamber of Com-merce. It is the starting

point for smart busi-ness,” Lisa Whitmore, Partner at Signature Oil & Vinegar.

Business After Hours Event a Foodie Favorite

Social Enterprise Event Builds Momentum“It was my honor to co-emcee the seCat-alyst gala event this month, to showcase and inspire the social enterprise and impact business sector on Van-couver Island”, stated Chamber President Colleen Evans.

The event included a social enterprise pitch completion, a drag-ons den style format for social enterprises. Three enterprises were chosen as finalists: Ns3 an enterprise that is inspiring children and developing their inter-est in science and sus-tainability; Skookum Food and Coffee offers

high quality, locally fo-cused food and bever-ages to provide youth the opportunity to gain employment and life skills in a safe and sup-portive environment and Tofino Ucluelet Cu-linary Guild, assisting restaurants, residents and grocery stores of the west coast access to healthy and afford-able food for the re-gion’s independent producers.

The finalists shared their story and pitch to receive valuable tech-nical support and finan-cial investment, that will help them further their social enterprises.

A panel of judges of-fered each of the three finalists, feedback and encouragement and included the Honour-able Michelle Stillwell, Minister Social Devel-opment and Innova-tion, Adrian Legin, CEO of Community Coastal credit Union and Derek Gent, Executive Direc-tor, Vancity Community Foundation.

A social enterprise is an organization that uses business strategies to maximize its social im-pact and in Campbell River and across Van-couver Island, social enterprises are becom-ing a thriving part of

the new economy and local economies. The Campbell River Cham-ber is working closely with the sector and re-gional social enterpris-es to bridge the con-versation and support between for profit and not for profits.

Social Enterprise Cata-lyst exists to build mo-mentum of the sector, provide resources di-rectly to social enter-prises and highlight the ‘eco-system’ of sup-ports that are available for the sector. To learn more about social en-terprises and the sector visit www.secatalyst.ca
