School District 72 may be forced to make cuts that could reduce the amount of teachers and sup-port staff in schools in order to erase a $1.1 million deficit.
Cutting back on elementary school teachers in music and library programs is one option the district is looking at which would save $75,000 for each pro-gram, according to a budget report.
The district is in the red because of cost pressures which Peter Neale, school district secre-tary-treasurer, said are out of the school district’s control, such as a $335,000 rise in pension payments and soaring fuel and hydro costs.
The district needs to come up with a substantial amount of sav-ings in the special needs program because it is losing $300,000 in spe-cial needs funding from the prov-ince next year due to a decline in students in the program.
To make up for the loss, the dis-trict is also looking at making $37,500 in teacher cuts in special education programs at elemen-tary schools.
It could also decide to restrict special education students in middle and high school from going on field trips in order to save $25,000 in staffing for special needs bussing.
Another option is to reduce the amount of assistant staffing and district teacher staffing in special
education, primarily related to workshops in the gifted program for high achieving students.
That would save the school dis-trict $84,000 and $45,000 respec-tively.
Neale said in previous years, operational cuts were made to areas other than instruction
but this year the district is hard pressed to continue in that vein.
“As approximately 80 per cent of the budget is instruction, and of this approximately 94 per cent is staffing, it is a challenge to form a strategy that would continue to see reductions in areas other

programs and services to ensure children are healthy and living in a safe environment.
But Trevena said the government has yet to develop a service plan for children in the province, something that is relevant to so many British Colum-bians. She said as MLA for the North Island, this is the ministry she has received the most calls about from constituents.
“It’s one of the minis-tries I’m constantly get-ting calls about across the North Island,” said Trevena. “Generally, people struggle when dealing with the min-istry.”
T r e v e n a i s n o
stranger to the portfo-lio. She was critic of child care, early child-hood development and women’s issues under former NDP leader Carole James. She said she’s already familiar with the issues.
Two months ago she called on the Minister of Children and Fam-ily Development, Mary McNeil, to take imme-diate action to address the lengthy wait list for North Island families seeking help for men-tal health issues.
Trevena discovered a list of as many as 50 children waiting for assessment through Child and Youth Men-tal Health services in Campbell River.
“It is disgraceful that
so many children and young people are on the wait list for help. Imagine if there were 50 children with what’s perceived as tradi-tional health needs – if they were not being diagnosed with mumps or meningitis, there would be outrage,” said Trevena, who will be raising the matter during the spring ses-sion of the legislature which began Tuesday.
Trevena, who held the position of assis-tant deputy speaker of the house since the 2009 election and previously
acted as opposition critic for Employment and Income Assis-tance, said although she is pleased with her new role, it came unex-pectedly.
“I didn’t know it was coming,” said Trevena. “The new leader talked about keeping people in the same positions, so it was a surprise. It’s a huge responsibil-ity and as part of this team, I have to show the government is fail-ing people here.”
Trevena has served as MLA for the North Island since 2005.

than staffing in the instruction function,” said Neale.
“Feedback suggests that internal stake-holders recognize this and would like the board of education to consider strategies that maintain services to students and to make decisions that would have the least impact on students.”
Most of the conver-sations he has had with stakeholders have focused on com-ing up with strategies for minor reductions rather than completely eliminating services.
Cutting back on
school staff is also being considered by the district, including casual custodian staff – a savings of $78,000 – and operations and maintenance staff, a $70,000 reduction.
The district is also floating the possibility of directing all staff to take vacation time in lieu of pay for overtime hours to minimize the payment of accrued time.
A board meeting to hear submissions and presentations from the public regarding the budget takes place Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the school board office, 425 Pinecrest Rd.

A 23-year-old accused of stab-bing another man a dozen times is out on bail.
Bradley James Perkins was freed on $1,000 recognizance with-out having to post either cash or a surety.
He’s charged with aggravated assault in the stabbing of Patrick Kennelly, 19, of Campbell River. Perkins is also facing a charge of improper storage of a firearm.
According to RCMP, Kennelly was at a birthday party with friends at a campsite beside Echo Lake when he became involved in a confrontation in the early morn-ing hours last Sunday.
He was stabbed 12 times in the torso and was rushed to Campbell
River hospital by friends.Kennelly was later airlifted to
Victoria General Hospital where he underwent surgery and is pres-ently recovering. His Facebook site contains dozens of messages from friends wishing him a speedy recovery.
During their investigation, Mounties obtained a search war-rant for 4700 Argonaut Rd., where officers found a marijuana grow operation with 40 plants.
Perkins was later arrested and charged.
He’s now out on bail with condi-tions that he cannot contact Ken-nelly and several others.
He was also ordered to abstain from alcohol and to not carry or possess any weapons.
Perkins returns to court on May 16.

Sue Moen – Green Party:
1. What will you and your party do to boost Campbell River’s eco-nomic situation.
The Green Party’s over-arching principle of creating a Smart Economy will guide my efforts to implement job creation measures through re-localizing e c o n o -m i e s . G r e e n MPs will work to l o w e r p ay r o l l a n d small business taxes, increase agricultural opportunities, increase value-added processing and manufacturing, and increase invest-ment in energy effi-ciency, and renewable energy systems and grids.
I would push for the creation of Municipal super-funds to pro-vide sustainable, long term funding to repair decades-old crumbling infrastructure and build for the future.
Communities would be able to create more of the common amenities we all need for recre-ation, transportation, water works and arts and culture. One of the super-funds would be tied directly to increas-ing youth employment and another to creating local green-business incubators to encour-age entrepreneurship.
Greens will work to eliminate the subsidies and grants to indus-tries such as fossil fuels, agribusiness and nuclear that distort the market and externalize costs. We want to tax those things people don’t want – overcon-sumption, GHG emis-sions, pollution – and lower taxes on what we do want – jobs, income and savings. Our plan is for a revenue neu-tral tax shift to ensure Canadians are not adversely affected by changing tax policies.
2. Why should vot-ers give you their v o t e o n M a y 2 ?The Green Party Plat-form is about finding
common ground. The Green Party is about consensus building and win-win solutions. Electing a Green Party candidate as MP for the riding will mean having a representa-tive who is willing and able to work with the other parties for the common good. Canada needs Green MPs like me, who will work to break down partisan-ship. We will not only work cooperatively amongst ourselves, we will restore respect and civility to Parlia-ment and get OTHER MPs from other parties (many of whom hate rabid partisanship) to cooperate with us.
I have work experi-ence in many areas – corporate, education, as a small business owner, in non-profit and have been an activ-ist for local and global social justice and the environment for more than 40 years. While I don’t agree with all constituents, I believe I can represent the riding to advance the common good and to
achieve true prosperity. I believe we need a Van-couver Island North MP who is unwilling to accept the status quo. Greens want to stop that bus and create systems where healthy people in healthy com-munities on a healthy planet are what inform our policies and pro-grams.

Mike Holland – Lib-eral Party of Can-ada
1. What will you and your party do to boost Campbell River’s eco-nomic situation?
Government can’t claim to have the answers but it should be ready to be a part-ner to the community, because it’s the com-m u n i t y that has the ideas and the i n i t i a -t i v e s that will g r o w the local economy. We can help lay the foun-dations for economic growth, however, and it starts with educa-tion. By helping stu-dents pay for college, university or trades training, we’ll ensure businesses have access to skilled labour when they want to expand.
By investing in early
learning and childcare, we’ll ensure parents can re-enter the work-force confident they have affordable and safe childcare for their children. And we’ll support research in new industries such as green energy, in which the North Island has the potential to be a world leader.
2. Why should voters give you their vote on May 2?
For 37 years on the North Island we’ve elected MPs from the extreme left and the extreme right. Meanwhile, our local economies continue to decline faster than other regions, jobs continue to evapo-rate and young people are forced to leave in search of opportunity elsewhere. Rather than again trying the same failed approach and expecting differ-
ent results, I think it’s time we tried a bal-anced, Liberal alterna-tive. I have a history of working with people of all political stripes to do what’s right for our community. It’s time our communities had someone to fight with them, and I’m ready to step up and join them.
John Duncan – Con-servative Party of Canada
1. What will you and your party do to boost Campbell River’s eco-nomic situation?

impose the job-killing HST on BC. Now Ste-phen Harper is threat-ening to penalize Brit-ish Columbians to the tune of $1.6 billion if they vote against the HST in June.
Jack Layton has pledged that regard-less of the outcome of the vote, B.C. will keep that money. With this pledge, small business owners can have con-fidence that British Columbians will have a free and fair vote on the HST, without threat of punishment.
New Democrats will also invest in small businesses, as they are Campbell River’s eco-nomic backbone. We will cut small business taxes by two percent to spur job creation, and we will introduce a $4,500 tax credit for businesses that create new jobs.
We will restrict raw log exports, invest in
developing alternative energy, and restore the home retrofit program to generate jobs and reduce home heating bills.
2. Why should voters give you their vote on May 2?
People across the rid-ing tell me they think that Ottawa is broken and it’s time to fix it.
People say they are looking for a party and a leader they can trust to make life more affordable, generate jobs, improve health care, and strengthen pensions.
That’s why I’m proud to be part of Jack Lay-ton’s team. We have practical solutions that put you and your fam-ily ahead of corporate tax giveaways.
On Vancouver Island, voting New Democrat is the best way to defeat the Conservatives and bring in a positive alternative.

I understand the local issues and share your values. I will work with a re-elected Conservative Govern-ment to ensure that
our region’s economy remains a priority. I am committed to con-tinuing to represent our region, and I will continue to advocate for infrastructure and
other investments, in collaboration with provincial and local authorities, that will assist economic diver-sification and quality of life. Some recent
and key investments that are designed to achieve this include: extending the Camp-bell River Airport Run-way; upgrading High-way 19A and installing new water and sewer mains from Hilchey Road to Rockland Road; upgrading trails in the Beaver Lodge Lands and Campbell River Forest District; expanding the We Wai Kai Industrial Park at Quinsam Crossing; investing in the Camp-bell River Lacrosse Box; and upgrading the small craft harbours in Campbell River, Heriot Bay and Quathiaski Cove.
2. Why should voters give you their vote on May 2?
Vancouver Island North is a special place and it is an hon-our to represent it. I’ve worked in coastal logging operations up
and down the coast for 20 years and I’ve lived and worked in small communities which has given me a strong understanding of the resource sector and the priorities of our coastal communities. After five weeks and ten all-candidate meetings I am confident in saying that none of my com-petitors comprehend the diversity or under-stand the economy of our communities. The NDP candidate claims that she will represent this riding, yet she has shown a lack of understanding for the forestry, aquaculture, fishing and mining sec-tors. For example, she thought Quinsam Coal was a proposed mine and not an operating one.
She has also spo-ken out in favour of the long gun registry, even though people in this riding are largely
opposed to it. I under-stand the importance of our resource indus-tries and the people they employ and the families they feed. Understanding our communities is essen-tial as an MP, but it is also important to trans-late this understand-ing into real results. My time in opposi-tion, then government and then cabinet has given me experience with how to get things done. Experience has been key in helping me serve and advocate for people, for families and for our communities in Vancouver Island North. The people of our resource-depen-dent communities care very much about the environment. But vibrant communities need people, and peo-ple need jobs. We must find a balance.
Our Conservative Gover nment has a
demonstrated record of balancing the econ-omy alongside the envi-ronment. We also have a low tax plan to help our economy and get people back to work. My team has run a clean and positive cam-paign that has focused on our Conservative Government’s tangible record of achievement. I would be honoured to continue to represent the most live-able and beautiful riding in Canada. On May 2, 2011 there is a clear choice. The choice is to vote for an experienced candi-date who understands all the communities in this riding.

The abysmal eco-nomic situation of Campbell River is not something that can be solved in Campbell River alone. Campbell river just happens to be one of the first few cars in the slow motion global economic train wreck we are all wit-nessing. Smaller com-munities always seem to take the brunt of the crash when things go bad economically. But the reason that hap-pens is because the fundamental problem
with the economic system has not been addressed. I offer the solution given to the Reagan Administra-t i o n i n t h e ‘80’s, as laid out by t h e m a t h e -matician M i k e Montagne. Although rejected as a solution by the Republicans years ago, it has stood the test of time and has not been invalidated, and very recently has begun to be recog-
nized by many econo-mists and politicians the world over, most recently in helping restructure Iceland’s economy. This sys-tem totally stops the big bankers in their tracks by abolish-ing usury (compound interest), and sched-uling loan payments over the lifetime of the asset to close the door on inflationary and deflationary cycles. Since so much money is involved, you can be sure the big bankers don’t want you to hear about this. But that
alone should be impe-tus enough for you go to our website (inde-pendentpartycanada.ca) and check out what we are offering you. In short, we are offering a permanent solution out of the financial disaster that is loom-ing, and I am the only one in this riding who for two elections now, are willing to discuss this issue.
2. Why should voters give you their vote on May 2?
Independents such
as myself enjoy the freedom from party politics and the party whip that you need in these unsure economic times. The ridicu-lous party phrases of “balance the budget”, “reducing the debt”, and “creating jobs” are losing their cred-ibility in the minds of the voters as the truth of the economic hege-mony spreads via the web. I offer the only mathematically proven way to discharge the current debt with the stroke of the pen, in the same way it was created, and replace it with the mathemati-cally sustainable alter-native. I and others are working toward implementation of MPE (Mathematical Perfected Economy) as soon as possible. Other parties like CAP and other independent candidates are nail-ing the problem on the head, but only the Independent Party of Canada is offering the mathematical solu-tion. The electorate, educated and awak-ened, should choose to take the ball and chain off their collective leg and put it on the leg of the bankers. To turn the tables on them and to return our economy, our livelihood, and our way of life back to us is our purpose, and that will not happen until the voters get fed up enough to start voting independent all over the country, starting with Vancouver Island North.

What in the world has happened to Derek Edwards?
Exactly two years ago he said his preferred Winter Olympic sport – that is, of course, if he
was an athlete – would be the luge because he’s a lazy man by nature and would enjoy the lying down aspect of luging.
That’s the Derek Edwards comedy fans know and love. So, who the heck is this up-beat,
go-getter talking on thehorn from Toronto?
“I’m revved up andkeen of spirit!” heannounces.

In today’s dental world, complex cases may involve refer-rals to other specialists in the fi eld. The general dentist acts as the restorative specialist and ‘quarterbacks’ the care for patients. General dentists are competent in all dental disciplines but sometimes the advice and treat-ment from specialists like orthodontists, periodontists, endodontists and oral surgeons will ensure the complete care of patients rather than a compromised outcome. Specialists have an additional two to four years of train-ing in their respective fi elds. The accepted term is ‘inter-disciplinary care’, and it is the current standard in den-tistry. When it comes to our heath and major decisions, there can never be a shortage of input.

“Keen of spirit,” he says more clearly, but with less enthusiasm.
H ’ m m , perhaps he’s add-ing blue-berries to his bran f l a k e s t h e s e days or maybe it’s the lighten-ing that’s energizing him.
“We had this electri-cal storm last night. It was magnificent…and it was interesting to hear something over the traffic,” he quips.
Ta-da-dum! There we go. That’s more like the Edwards everyone knows.
And if you don’t know Edwards, think of him this way: He’s
the guy in the office who no one pays atten-tion to until you’re gathered around the water cooler, chewing the fat about world politics and then this guy in the frumpy suit, with unshined shoes, let’s go a zinger so funny that even the hard-nosed boss cracks up.
For example, here’s his take on Mon-day’s fed-eral elec-tion.
“It’s like t r y i n g to pick w h i c h one of the Golden Girls you want to date,” he quips.
It’s that type of humour which proba-bly earned him months of detention time dur-
ing his school years, but later propelled him to the top flight of Can-ada’s best comics.
Edwards is a 14-year veteran of Montreal’s Just For Laughs Fes-tival and is the only Canadian to win the prestigious Vail, Colo-rado, Invitational Comedy Competition. He’s also a four-time nominee and winner of Best Standup Comic at the Canadian Comedy Awards.
And Edwards is back on the road, kicking off his “Blunderful Life” tour in Campbell River on Wednesday and appearing in Cour-tenay next Saturday.
“The first time I was out there four years ago, I’m driving along, admiring all beauty, and it was hard to stay on the road,” he recalls.
“It’s those little grasps of sanity that make me think I’m just an insect here.”
A n i n s e c t , perhaps, but he’s enjoying the buzz of fame that will also take h i m t o
Ireland, Amsterdam and Australia this year.
He’s also pleased about a part written for him in a new TV pilot, which may or may not fly.
“The character is unmotivated loser-type. Go figure?” he deadpans.■ Comedian Derek

It’s that time of year when the Haig-Brown Heritage House oper-ates as a Bed & Break-fast and the grounds can be rented for special events from May to the end of Sep-tember.
The Museum at Campbell River, which manages the property, is pleased to welcome Catherine MacLeod as the new Site Manager for the 2011 season.
MacLeod has an interesting history with Campbell River and a unique con-nection to the Haig-Brown family. In the mid 1970s, she worked at the old courthouse when Roderick Haig-Brown was the lay judge.
She remembers that “he was always friendly, cheerful – not in the least bit intimi-dating.”
When she revealed to him that she too wished to write someday, he was very encouraging. He told her to just “pick up the pen and let the words flow”, and to write about what she loved.
In those years, she was also fortunate enough to know Sybil Andrews, and took a drawing course with her. Now Catherine is a painter in acrylics. She has successfully sold her work and also
teaches painting. After working at the
courthouse, Catherine pursued a career as a legal assistant and worked for Gerry Sin-nott for 21 years. She moved to Vancouver for a brief period, returning to Campbell River last July. “I missed the wild, quiet beauty of Campbell River,” she said, and is looking forward to working in a service oriented position, and having time to write and paint in a “happy, peaceful atmosphere”.
The Haig-Brown House has just that sort of atmosphere. Amid the forested property of almost twenty acres, and sur-rounded by gardens and lawns maintained in the style of Rod-erick and Ann Haig-Brown, it is a popular venue for wedding cer-emonies. The annual Haig-Brown Festival is also held there at the end of September, on World Rivers Day.

Let’s take a moment or two to step aside from the federal election to have a look at the fisheries scene
here on the West Coast – from a political point of view.
On Monday, muck-slinging anti-salmon farm campaigners took aim at aquaculture companies in Campbell River.
Earlier this year, angry recre-ational fishermen condemned
Fisheries and Oceans Canada for not providing them with their fair share of the halibut fishery.
They’re still trying to make halibut allocation an
election issue – a fishy one at that.Some things never seem to change, but occasion-
ally there’s a glimpse of sanity and that good old Canadian spirit of people from different walks of life working together to create change for the bet-ter.
Last week’s release of 50,000 chinook salmon smolts on the Phillips River system is a perfect example. Wild runs of chinook on the Phillips, and just about every other river system on the coast, are in serious decline.
Typically, such declines are met by a lot of finger-pointing, while a small band of volunteer stream-
keepers are left with the enormous task of trying to save what little fish are left.
But the project on the Phillips shows how differ-ent groups are working together, in spite of their differences, to create a self-sustaining run of wild chinook.
Led by the volunteers of the Gillard Pass Fisher-ies Association, the project is receiving the support of fishing lodges, private companies, fish farming companies, a privately-run hatchery and even Fish-eries and Oceans Canada.
That’s remarkable and it sets a fine example of how to deal with all fisheries issues.

Good point: Help JustinMy name is Michelle Barteaux and I am writing on
behalf of my brother, Justin Webb.My brother was like most 19 year olds. He was in his
first year of university and loving life. That was untilDecember when life decided to challenge him.
As a great football player, Justin is known for hiswill and determination, but fighting for his life againstbrain cancer is a challenge that has left him utterlyhelpless.
Justin’s problems began in December. He was havingissues with his right foot and started losing the abilityto control it while walking. Justin and his young girl-friend Katie went to the hospital in Prince George.
After having a CAT scan, the doctor told him to goback home to the Island and that there was a highprobability that he had either MS or ALS. When Justincalled home with the grave news, upset and scared, webrought him home.
He was home only a few days, waiting for his familydoctor to get in touch with a neurologist when Justinbegan to lose the ability to move and control the rightside of his body. Justin began rapidly deterioratingand soon needed help walking and dressing himself.
We brought him to Victoria General Hospital wherehe was admitted into Emergency. Justin spent threedays in the ER waiting for a bed, waiting for answers.
He had numerous tests; an MRI, CAT Scan etc, which
My excitement about elections diminishes as the years go by.
Gone are the days in university, while studying communications and political science, when we’d settle in with some refreshments after the polls closed at 8 p.m., and watch the results roll in. It was like watching a hockey game. Not that we’d cheer necessarily but we’d yack about poli-tics both near and far and straighten the world out for everybody, if only there had been somebody there to hear our sage advice.
There was never a real surprise ending. Either the Liberals or the Conservatives (“Progressive” Con-servatives back then) would form the government. The NDP would come in significantly third and the Green Party barely even existed then. It was
a true three-party state.Nowadays, I have to keep remind-
ing myself there’s an election on. It’s the same old suspects but, at least this time there is a possibility for something different to happen, i.e., the NDP has surged past the Liberals in polls, if they’re anything to go by. An NDP opposition would be some-thing different but I don’t know if it would change anything about the way Canadians are governed, espe-cially if the Conservatives win.
The NDP has always had an impact on Canadian politics because the Liberals would scoop up any of their polices they found useful and incor-porate them into their platform.
I find it interesting that the Liber-als are unable to gain any traction with Michael Ignatieff as leader. It
really seems as though he’s a liabil-ity. Nobody seems to really believe he’s sincere.
The Conservatives, meanwhile, have the control-freak Stephen Harper who has been accused of set-ting back the democratic traditions in this country.
Then there’s the NDP’s Jack Layton who is inhabiting familiar ground in Canadian politics. Back in the 80s the NDP’s Ed Broadbent continually scored highest of all the three party leaders in approval ratings. But the NDP never got past third party sta-tus. Now Layton is scoring the higher approval ratings and his party is soaring in popularity polls.
That however, doesn’t necessarily translate into seats in the House of Commons as our first-past-the-post
electoral system blocks popular vote from determining electoral seats.
But if the NDP were to form the opposition or, less likely, form a minority government with the Liber-als (as the junior partner – a switch from the past), that would be differ-ent but given our system’s focus on the party with the most seats, you won’t likely see any real change this election. And maybe that’s what Canadians want. Our predictability and stability serve us well economi-cally but it doesn’t make for compel-ling television.
So, on Monday, cast your vote and I will cast mine. I always do. But I won’t be hooked on the T.V. scruti-nizing every result as it comes in because it will just be more of the same old, same old.

Ten people smear-ing mud on a window? Is this all the support Alexandra Morton can find now?
We think Canadians are smart enough to see through such a silly stunt, and the small number of characters following Ms. Morton
on her mudslinging adventure in Campbell River Teusday proves it.
Ms. Morton smeared mud on the window of our offices this morn-ing, and splattered mud on the public sidewalk in an attempt to make some kind of state-
ment against salmon farming. All she did, however, was make a mess. But it wasn’t all bad – we transferred the mud to the nearby flowerbed which will help the flowers grow bright and beautiful in May.
She and her entou-
rage pulled the same stunt at the Marine Harvest offices, and moved on to the cam-paign offices of Van-couver Island North federal candidates.
It’s obvious that Ms. Morton has little or no support for her actions; she was accompanied by only 10 people, including two of her

all indicated he had an inflammation on the right side of his brain. The diagnosis was that he had MS. He was released to go home, and was given an appointment to meet with someone at the MS clinic.
Within a week Justin had lost all movement on his right side and was beginning to lose functionality of his left side as well. We decided to take him over to Vancouver Gen-eral Hospital. Justin is 6’4”; my father and mother are 65 and 55 years old respectively and have been respon-sible for all of Justin’s care and needs.
At Vancouver Gen-eral more CAT scans were administered as well as an additional MRI, again it was determined that there was inflammation but
still no cause could be established.
Within days, a brain biopsy was scheduled. They were going to extract fluid from Jus-tin’s brain from a small incision in his scull; he came out of surgery with 10 staples, leaving my parents shocked.
The doctors found a massive tumour cov-ering both sides of his brain.
The tumour is one that is extremely rare and is found in chil-dren, not in adults.
Now four months after his symptoms began, Justin is com-pletely unable to move. He cannot speak or eat. He is mentally aware and can smile, laugh, and obviously cry.
Justin is an adult and has not paid into pensions. He is unable to get monies other than from welfare. We are all shocked at the
financial toll that car-ing for an ill family member has taken; it’s devastating and over-whelming at times.
My father, Art, has been driving to Camp-bell River and back daily in an attempt to continue working in hopes of relieving some of the financial strain. Diane has taken a leave of absence from her job to be here with Justin.
There is an account set up at the TD Bank of Canada in Justin Webb or Diane Zaschke (Account # 90386356852) name as well as dona-tion boxes around the Island. There’s also a fundraiser for him on Saturday, April 30, 4-7 p.m. at Timberline Sec-ondary School.
Our family appreci-ates your compassion and generosity.
God Bless, Michelle Barteaux

regular photographers and campaigners, and no local people.
M e a n w h i l e , a national survey done in early April by an independent polling firm found that more than 80 per cent of Canadians support the development of a national Aquacul-
ture Act; 69 per cent supported the idea of developing national standards for the aqua-culture industry; and 60 per cent supported the idea of developing a framework to pro-mote industry growth.
Perhaps most tell-ing, 70 per cent of respondents said it was important to find fresh protein and pro-
duce year-round; that locally grown food was important; and that food grown in an envi-ronmentally sustain-able way was impor-tant.
S a l m o n f a r m i n g meets all of those needs. Perhaps the nonexistent support for Ms. Morton’s lat-est campaign shows that people are inves-
tigating the industryfor themselves, and asthe poll results show,believe that it has abright future in Can-ada growing healthyseafood in a way thatis environmentallysustainable.

The debate sur-rounding the impact of farmed salmon on wild salmon popula-tions often focuses on the issue of sea lice.
Wild salmon sup-porters correlate the decline of wild fish to the sea lice har-boured on fish farms, a theory refuted by the farms due to the lack of directly supporting scientific evidence.
It is true that there is no unequivocal evi-dence to show a salmon farm sea louse leaving a farm, attaching to a wild salmon juvenile and then seeing that fish die as a direct result of weakness and infection caused by the
louse. However, what independent scientists do see is that when wild juvenile salmon leave their spawning grounds they have no parasites, and when they approach the farms they are inun-dated with sea lice. Later many of these fish die.
The argument sur-rounding sea lice is like so many difficult environmental debates we are now facing. Because the ecosys-tems we live in are so large and so complex, it is often virtually impossible to find direct scientific corre-lations between cause and effect.
Instead we must look at the weight of evi-dence to support one argument versus the other.
In the example of air pollution we do not have specific evidence that pollutants released by one individual fac-tory lead to breathing problems. However it has been accepted that the cumulative wors-ening of air quality is harmful to human health. Therefore we protect ourselves and limit emissions.
Sea lice incubated by farms are not the only cause for depletion of wild salmon stocks, but they are a signifi-cant factor.
It is likely that wildfish will be long gonebefore we find unde-niable evidence of thelink between open-netfish farms and thedisappearance of wildsalmon. We need to actin good faith with theweight of evidence wehave available to usnow.
We are appealing tothe press to bring thisserious issue in to theelection debate and askeach candidate to sup-port moving fish farmsto closed containment,away from our wildsalmon.

derness Tourism Asso-ciation

Owner of the Campbell River Hearing Clinic Martin Jurek, from left, donated a hearing assistance system to Tidemark Theatre Society members and staff Mary Ann Stenbuck, Bob Tonkin and Kin Fowler.
KRISTEN DOUGLASCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Martin Jurek was hav-ing a hard time hearing all the actors during a performance of No Sex Please, We’re British at the Tidemark Theatre.
He figured if someone with good hearing had difficulty making out some of the words, it must be even harder for those who are hard of
hearing.So Jurek, who co-owns
the Campbell River Hearing Clinic with wife Jana, decided to donate a hearing assistance system to the theatre.
“I noticed it (was hard to hear) the first time I was here for a play,” said Jurek. “So I figured others, especially those with hearing loss, would have a hard time too.”
The system uses a
transmitter which is plugged into the micro-phones onstage. When the mic picks up the sound, it is transmit-ted wirelessly to an FM receiver and listened to through a headset. The receivers are tiny boxes which are easy to hold and have volume con-trols so the users can adjust the sound them-selves.
The system can also
be used with hearing aids. Hearing aids with t-coils can use a t-coil loop instead of a head-set and those with hear-ing instruments that have wireless options
can connect directly to the FM receivers at the Tidemark.
Jurek said he hopes the system will help a number of his clients who stay away from live
shows because of hear-ing difficulties.
To start, there will be eight receivers with headsets available at the box office on a first come, first served basis.
To have hearing aidsset up with the Tide-mark’s hearing assis-tance system call theHearing Clinic at 250-914-3200 or drop by,780-D 13th Avenue.

The Comox Strathcona Waste Management (CSWM) service is excited to announce a limited time offer on the purchase of a Green Cone.
What is a Green Cone? A food waste digester that looks like a home composter but is much more. Takes all types of food waste - meat, dairy, bones, vegetables - basically everything
from the kitchen table. No need to turn it, or empty it more than once every few years. Using solar heat in combination with macro bacterial activity it breaks down waste
aerobically into nutrient rich water that is absorbed into the soil, and a very small amount of residue. An enclosed system means it doesn't attract vermin or any other animals. It's easy to install, the hardest thing is digging a shallow (2') hole. All it needs is decent
drainage and sunlight. Accommodates all of the food waste of an average family of four or five.
The “Green Cones” will go on sale Monday, April 18 for $120.00 including taxes. Residents can call 250-334-6000 or 1-800-331-6007 to place their order by no later than Friday, May 13, 2011. Green Cones MUST be pre-ordered and pre-paid. Call with credit card payment or pay in person with cash or cheque at 600 Comox Road, Courtenay.

Electronics wizardTyler Stewart of Timberline Secondary won a bronze medal for Electronics at the Skills Canada Provin-cial Competition in Abbotsford on April 20. The competition required Stewart to show his knowledge and skills in electronics through several hands-on tasks and accompanying theory questions. The major categories were bread boarding (prototyping) an electronic circuit, reverse engineering a project layout back to a schematic diagram using correct symbols, and building a complete project from a kit to show-case assembly and soldering skills. Stewart qualified for the provincial level competition at a regional competition held April 1 at the Timberline/NIC campus. This was Stewart’s first time competing and was also Timberline’s first time having a student reach the provincial level in electronics. The picture shows Stewart wearing his medal in his usual work area in the Timberline electronics lab. He is holding the breadboarded project and the soldered project from the competition.
Did you know that Campbell River has a
Montessori school which offers programs for children beginning at age three?
There is. Campbell River Montessori School is located in Room 31 at Discovery Passage Elementary School at 2050 Pengel-ley Road. The commu-nity is invited to drop in and see the school on Saturday, May 7, 2011 from 2-4 p.m.
Campbell River Montessori School opened for classes last September. It is operated by Discover Montessori Society, a non-profit group which operates Mon-tessori Schools in Nanaimo and Parks-ville. The classroom is filled with light and has its own garden and outdoor space.
Campbell River Mon-tessori School is ready to accept registrations for September 2011 of children born in 2008. Spaces are limited, and interested parents are encouraged to observe a class prior to registering.
Montessori educa-tion is one of the fast-est growing education systems in the world. It is based upon the research of Dr. Maria Montessori (1870-1952), noted educator and humanitarian, who revolutionized our understanding of childhood develop-ment over the last 100 years. Her methodol-ogy is centered on providing children with skills for critical thinking, indepen-dence, and peaceful-ness. Each Montessori classroom leads chil-dren toward a deeper
understanding of the world around them – through language, science, cultural arts, mathematics, senso-rial, and practical life skills.
“It is never too early to begin thinking about your child’s edu-cation. We offer young children the academic and social learning they yearn for, in an environment which is prepared especially for them. Through inspiring their curios-ity, we help children develop a love of learning that will last a lifetime,” said Diana Chalmers, the school’s principal.
For more informa-tion about the school and Open House, please see their web-site www.crmontes-sorischool.org or e-mail: [email protected].

It might playoff time for Canuck Nation but don’t expect Kelly Mann to raise an eye-brow.
To be fair, no one is more passionate about sports than Mann is. As far as he’s concerned, youth athletics and the community surround-ing it is where it’s at.
The president and CEO of B.C. Games has guided the province’s Summer and Winter Games to great heights through a passion for
Mann was in Vernon last week, to help the
host city launch the official countdown for the 2012 B.C. Winter Games, set for Feb. 23-26.
In tandem with the launch Mann announced a four-year partnership between the Games and Black Press, parent company of the Campbell River Mirror.
“While we sponsor literally thousands of events each year, The Games, both winter and summer are on a scale that is one of the largest opportu-nities to engage our readers across B.C.,” said Candy Hodson,
senior vice president of national sales and marketing for Black Press.
“In covering the BC Games it allows Black Press to also showcase our best - we bring together ‘local’ on a provincial scale,” she said.
Mann agreed the shared focus on ath-letic promotion in the community between the B.C. Games and Black Press is a per-fect fit.
“Black Press papers and the Winter and Summer Games are in virtually every com-munity in B.C. Black
Press will provide extensive coverage and advertising to sup-port the B.C. Games and share the story of how the Games impact athletes, coaches, offi-cials, volunteers and communities.”
The partnership will coincide with four games, the 2012 Sum-mer Games in Surrey and the 2014 Winter and Summer Games in Mission and Nanaimo, respectively.
From his downtown Victoria office, Mann overlooks the antique section of Fort Street. It’s just a few blocks down the road from
Oak Bay High, where he graduated in 1976.
It was there that Mann became deeply rooted with the val-ues of youth sports, playing and managing school teams.
He’s been with B.C. Games since 1992 but also co-founded the Kidsport Greater Victo-ria chapter in 2002, one of the most successful in the country.
W h e n p r e s i d e n t Randy Blair of the Black Press’ Lower Mainland division pro-posed the newspaper chain become one of three corporate spon-sors, Mann knew the
opportunity at hand. “We want people to
understand the com-petitive support sys-tem in athletic devel-opment in B.C.,” Mann said.
“You don’t hear of Ryder Hesjedal as a B.C. Games athlete, you hear of him as a Tour de France competitor. We talk about athletes like they fell out of a tree but really they’ve had a support network since they were eight. This (partnership) will add greater depth to the role of athletes and the support network of the development stage.”

WORK WORLD
The Mystery Of The Farm Property under development at the corner of Peterson and Evergreen Road is solved.
The answer is Camp-bell River’s first organic blueberry farm! For-mer finan-cial advisor, Michelle White, was more at home in a well orga-nized office until inter-mittent visions of a career as a farmer finally took precedent over life at a key-board. She realized she had to respond to the calling of her heart. “ I observed the great shift that is taking place in our society,” explained Michelle. “People are becoming more aware of food produc-tion and its’ quality.
They are awakening to the demand for organic food, raised locally. I saw clearly that being involved in food production was the answer to my
search for a meaningful direction.” Michelle and her husband, Steve Ross, were fortu-nate in that they already owned the acreage on Peterson. A soil analysis
showed quality earth with a high acidic content suitable for crops such as blueber-ries. They checked the property laws with staff at city hall and found that Bylaw 3205 was surprisingly flex-ible and allowed for nursery or large crops in specific residential areas.
The couple could have chosen to develop
multi residential housing or patio homes on the three and a half acres but chose farming instead.The blueberry site takes up an acre and Michelle is mulling over the possibilities for specialty crops on the remaining land. She told me that vast numbers of people have been stopping by when she is work-ing outside and ask what is going on. She knows that in many cases the sight of their small farm activ-ity is inspiring many other passerby’s to reevaluate their own properties and the possibilities of plant-ing small commercial or personal crops in the Quinsam Heights area. Watch that cor-ner for new develop-ments.

Are Speed Reader Displays Effective?
Dynamic speed display signs are popping
up beside B.C.’s Highways. They display
the speed of passing vehicles above a sign
showing the posted speed limit. Are these
signs useful in persuading drivers to keep to
the limit and if so, how effective are they?
According to a Ministry of Transportation
and Infrastructure Highway Safety Engineer
“These displays have shown effectiveness
at reducing overall vehicle speeds shortly
following installation. However, the
effectiveness of speed reader boards is
limited and decreases shortly after drivers
pass the board. Longer term effectiveness
has not yet been determined.” Some studies
have shown continuing effectiveness, while
others show that success varies. In any case,
combining the signs with law enforcement
produce the best result.
An example is the sign on the Trans
Canada Highway south of Nanaimo that
precedes an intersection in an 80 km/h zone
with a recurring collision problem. Prior
to the installation of a speed reader board
the 85th% speed was 96 km/h. Six months
after installation, a before/after speed data
comparison was carried out and indicated
an 85th% speed of 90 km/h. In addition,
the data showed that 53% of drivers were
travelling less than the posted speed limit.
Hopefully these signs will prove to be
a worthwhile investment on their own and
coupled with regular speed enforcement
contribute to a reduction in collisions.
The author is a retired constable
with many years of traffi c enforcement
experience. To comment or learn more,

PROGRAM areas have adopted poultry bylaws and the latest to take the leap is Saanich Munic-ipality. They join Van-couver, Surrey, Victo-ria and New Westmin-ster, and many smallertowns around B.C. in welcoming hens into residential areas. Generally the bylaws limit the number of cluckers to four and the backyard enclo-sure must be roofed and cannot exceed eight or nine square meters in area. Other than the production of warm, fresh eggs every morning the other great benefits of chickens are the deposits of manure rich in nutrients and the efficient way thosecluckers hoover up all the garden pests without your needing to use pesticides. In terms of a poultry bylaw Campbell River is so far behind the movement in food self sufficiency… l would suggest that our city is a “little chicken” when it comes to change.

Summer’s coming, and our cats
love to be outside just like we do.
However, when they meet other
cats, the encounters may not be all
that friendly. Cats are instinctively
very territorial. They fi ght with
other cats to protect their territory
or to acquire more territory. As a
result, fi ght wounds are common
in cats. In cats, over 90% of
infected wounds result from cat
bites sustained during a fi ght with
another cat. Dog, rat and other
rodent bites can occur but they are
much less common.
Fight wounds frequently result in
infection that can make cats quite
ill, especially if left untreated. Fight
wounds are more common in male
cats than females and are most
frequent in intact (un-neutered)
males.
Un-neutered male cats are
very territorial; they will defend
an area around their home but
continually try to expand the
borders of their territory. The
desire for more territory and the
need to keep intruders out of their
existing territory means that they
are constantly fi ghting with other
cats. In contrast, neutered male cats
defend a smaller area of territory
around their home. If another cat
invades this territory, he will defend
it by fi ghting. The frequency of
fi ghting will depend on the number
of cats in the neighbourhood and
particularly the presence of un-
neutered male cats. Female cats
will also defend their territory by
fi ghting with other cats.
Neutering may reduce territorial
fi ghting, but will not completely
stop it. Confi ning the cat to your
house, particularly at night when
cat fi ghts are most common, will
reduce the number of bites your cat
sustains.
When a cat bites, its sharp
canine teeth easily puncture the
skin, leaving small, but deep,
wounds in the skin. These punctures
rapidly seal over, trapping bacteria
from the cat's mouth under the
skin of the victim, where they can
readily multiply. The infection
may go unnoticed for several
days, until swelling and pain at
the puncture site develop. At this
point, the cat will often develop a
fever. If the skin surrounding the
wound is loose, a pocket of pus
will develop, forming an abscess.
In areas where the skin is not loose
such as the lower leg or the tail,
the infection spreads through the
tissues and causes cellulitis. In rare
cases, a cat bite will result in septic
arthritis (infection of a joint
space), osteomyelitis (infection
of bone) or pyothorax (the chest
cavity fi lls with pus).
If you know that your cat
has been in a fi ght, notify your
veterinarian immediately.
Antibiotics given within twenty-
four hours will often stop the
spread of infection and may prevent
the development of an abscess. If
several days have elapsed since the
fi ght, an abscess will usually form,
requiring more involved medical
treatment.
Puncture wounds heal very
quickly so there is often nothing
to see or feel, especially in the fi rst
few days after the bite. It may be
possible to feel heat and swelling
in the area of the bite. The most
common sites of bites are on the
head, forelimbs or at the base of the
tail. If the leg was bitten, it is usually
painful and the cat may limp. Some
cats may just be lethargic and have
a fever. Many cats will excessively
groom the injured area.
If an abscess is present, your
veterinarian will drain and fl ush the
injured site. This may be done by
removing the scabs over the original
bite wounds or, more commonly, by
lancing the skin over the abscess.
It may be necessary to sedate or
anesthetize your cat for this. If
cellulitis is present, drainage is not
possible. Antibiotics will be given
to treat the bacterial infection.
With large abscesses, your
veterinarian may recommend a
technique called debridement, or
removal of all the affected tissues,
including any infl amed tissues that
have walled off the abscess from
the rest of the body. The resulting
"clean" wound will be closed
with sutures. In some situations,
your veterinarian may also place
a surgical drain in the wound, to
allow any discharges to escape.
With appropriate treatment,
most abscesses should heal within
fi ve to seven days. The swelling
associated with cellulitis may take
longer. If you feel the wound is not
healing normally you should ask
your veterinarian to examine it.
If you do not have your cat
treated, there is a danger that the
abscess will burst and only partially
drain before healing begins.
This can leave small pockets of
pus behind, which will cause
recurrence. Similar consequences
may follow if courses of antibiotics
are not completed or adequate
drainage is not maintained.
Certain viruses such as feline
immunodefi ciency virus (FIV)
and feline leukemia virus (FeLV)
suppress the immune system and
may complicate the cat's recovery
from infection. Blood tests can be
performed to diagnose these viral
infections. A persistent draining
wound may indicate that a foreign
body such as a broken tooth, a
claw or some soil is present in the
wound and may require surgical
exploration. Alternatively, it may
indicate the presence of an unusual
infectious agent requiring biopsies
for culture and other tests.

The Mainland Hockey tournament held in Vancouver, April 15-17, proved to be just what the WCEHA 2001 Storm needed to start their season.
The Elite are an Atom spring hockey team based out of the North Island, comprised of boys from Powell River, Port McNeill, Gold River, Courtenay and Campbell River. The team played five games over the weekend and ended the tournament with a 5-0 record. The first game played, was against the PHD Pros-pects, and ended in a 7-3 win for the Storm.
Next up were the South Fraser Elite, and what turned out to be, three periods of nail biting action.
The Storm managed to come out on top again with a 4-3 win. The Storm dominated their next game against the Jr. Flames with a 8-1 victory, and headed into the semi-finals strong and determined.
The BC Kodiaks fought hard to win, but in the end, the Storm proved themselves again, by winning 4-2. The championship game was played on Sunday and the Storm were once again, bat-tling against the South Fraser Elite.
The Fraser Elite were up 2-1 with two min-utes left in the third period when a beauti-ful goal by Caleb Park-house tied the game at 2-2. River Fahey scored the game winning goal
with 22seconds left on the clock, making the 2001 WCEHA Storm the gold medal cham-pions. Both teams showed tremendous heart and determina-tion, but none more so than Storm goalie Cameron Stevenson who played the entire weekend while sick with the flu. Steven-son was rewarded as the final game MVP. Other game MVP’s awards were given to Noah Fladager, Logan Nijhoff, Jackson Dyke, and River Fahey.
The team is now pre-paring for their next conquest, The Chal-lenge cup, in May. The Team paid tribute to their sponsor Ken Ken-nedy and K&D Con-tracting.
Gold in the big city

ED MASTERSSPECIAL TO THE MIRROR
What a way to start off the 2011 motocross season on Vancouver Island.
C a m p b e l l R ive r Motocross Association hosted rounds one and two of the Vancouver Island Spring Series on April 23-24.
There was a good turn out both days of riders and spectators, from across the Island, Lower Mainland and the outlying islands.
Local riders turned in some fine results.
It was a great week-end for Campbell Riv-er’s Ryder Roth, who rode in the 50 cc 4-6 years class. Roth was up against some really serious riders from the Lower Mainland but Roth had a plan
of his own, to take the victory in his home town. Roth did just that and finished with first place over all on both days of racing. Charles Charlton of the Lower Mainland was second while Cole Wasmuth finished third overall.
In the ladies class, some great riding was on display. Camille Baker of Nanaimo was on hand and rode in not only the ladies class but she rode in two mixed classes. Baker rode really well in the ladies class and took home first over all for both days. In the MX2 Intermediate class she finished 14th overall and took the 11th spot in the youth division. Campbell River was well represented in the ladies class, with Lindsey McLean and Chelsea Masters both
twisting the throttle hard. McLean was in the lead over Baker for a short while during the Sunday morning moto but lost the lead during the second lap leaving her to finish the moto in second place. McLean finished the weekend out in sec-ond place overall.
Masters was out there roaring around the track in the new 2011 Scott gear she had recently won in a Can-ada-wide essay contest. Masters roared across the finish line in third place in each of her motos.
Campbell River rider Corby McCar tney made his return to the
motocross felt on Sat-urday after a few years away from it. McCa-rtney raced the MX1 Intermediate class and roared to an early lead and never looked back. He took home first over all for the day while Campbell River rider Brendon Fear took home second place over all for the day.
On Sunday it was Brandon Cyr and Fear battling it out for first overall. When the checker flag came out it was Cyr that was the overall winner for the day while Fear finished second for the day.
McCartney was also roaring around the track in the vet master
class on Saturday. He was up against some highly experienced riders but held his own very well. Not let-ting off the throttle at all while roaring into and out of the corners to ensure he made a podium finish. Camp-bell River rider Darcy McKenna was also rid-ing the class and held off McCartney to take home first over all while McCartney fin-ished the day in second place.
On Sunday McK-enna was once again the rider to chase down. But McKenna took an early lead in both motos and never looked back.

Sanich came back in the last 43 seconds to win the game.
Game two the Ravens came back better defensively. Goaltender Kaleb Vivier held off many shots on net. The team worked hard to defend in their own end only to lose 4 to 2. those goals were scored by Darien Nohr and Captain Aidan Probyn.Showing great moves,on more than one occasion,Probyn defensively held off two of Sannich’s best players and prevented them from taking shots in Raven’s territory.
