Jamie Turko is warning rec-reational river users about a log hazard that virtually spans the width of the Campbell River.
“We have an old growth hem-lock that’s been here for a cou-ple of hundred years that fell
into the Campbell River March 12 during the giant windstorm that we had,” said Turko, owner of Destiny River Adventures, a long time river guide and search and rescue volunteer. “Now it’s creating a river-wide hazard to rec-
reational users.“My main concern is anyone
that’s out on the river for them to be aware and to make sure that they’re safe and can get around this.”
The log is hard to avoid because it reaches almost from
bank to bank. It was one of thelargest hemlock trees on thebanks of the Campbell River andnow there’s only about 20 feetbetween either bank and the treeitself. And that presents a hazardto inner tubers and people wholike to float down the river onsunny days.
Fallen tree creates hazard on river

Twenty-six people voiced their opinions on the tax increase in front of city council Tuesday night.
All but one woman condemned council for supporting a 13.6 per cent residential tax hike and urged councillors and city staff to go back and take another look at the budget.

It’s going to be a while before anyone can move the log, if it, in fact, can be moved, Turko said.
The tree is anchored to shallow water on the north side of the river and in the middle and south side. There are branches that point downstream that have wedged into the river bottom and are holding the tree fast. Removing the tree will take a tre-mendous effort that is not without some dan-ger.
The best plan would be to swing the front of the tree back towards the north shore to align it with the bank and thus create some
fish habitat. But to swing it would require somebody on the trunk cutting the branches away.
Once the branches are almost cleared, the tree would likely start to move with the force of the river current putting anybody on it in danger. Plus, the tree needs to be anchored to a large enough tree on the shore in order to stop it from shifting during a removal oper-ation but there are few trees larger than the one in the river.
A helicopter could be brought in to do that but that is an expensive proposition and some-thing that some official agency would have to take on. Turko has con-
tacted BC Hydro and BC Parks but has not had a response as to whose responsibility it would be to remove it, if anyone’s. The fact is that trees falling into the river is a natural process. It happens all the time. This one happens to be particu-larly large and incon-veniently located on a popular recreational body of water.
A similar situation on a side channel of the Campbell River just missed being a tragedy last summer when some youths rid-ing inner tubes were swept into a fallen tree just days after Turko
had issued a similar warning. Once word of the near miss got out, swift action was taken by the community and the youths to move it.
The tree on the main channel of the Camp-bell now, however, is a different proposition. It is significantly big-ger.
Turko said as a river guide, he will be able to avoid the tree as will accomplished kayakers but he’s con-cerned about kids and the public going for a float down the river unaware of the poten-tial hazard and the skill needed to negoti-ate the obstacle.

Three men are facing trafficking charges after Mounties seized five kilograms of cocaine and approxi-mately $85,000 in cash on April 9.
The busts were made by Camp-bell River RCMP with assistance from Comox Valley officers. Police did not say where the drug busts
took place other than officers exe-cuted search warrants at several residences in the Campbell River area. As of Wednesday, charges have not been laid and no names have been released. In addition to the drugs and the money, three vehicles were also seized.

you’re putting forth your best efforts but please have another look on our behalf,” said Mark Sullivan,who ran for city council-lor in last November’s election.
About 90 people filled the council chambers; spilling out onto chairs in the foyer attended the meeting.
A march from Robert Ostler Park to city hall, similar to the April 3 protest, was planned on Facebook but never materialized. Only six people showed up at the longhouse in the park.
“Last (Tuesday) night it just didn’t happen,” said Philip Hicks, who organized the demon-stration. “It was my feeling that having 100-150 people at the last one that we would have to have 3-to-400 people this time to be a success.
“So from the point of view of gathering momentum, it failed.”
Hicks would like to see people come out for next week’s meeting.
“If you don’t finish the game, there’s no point in even starting,” he said.
Instead of an orga-nized march in the rain, people signed up before and during the meeting to say their piece.
Kevin Raftery, the first to speak, said the city could learn a les-son from its citizens. He explained how after retiring in 2004, his family’s income was
split in half. The solution was to
change his lifestyle“The sooner we adapt
to living within our means, the better,” Raf-tery said. “We have the potential to become a great retirement com-munity but we won’t attract residents if our taxes are too high for pensioners.”
M a r y R a f t e r y explained how a tax increase impacts her.
“To cover a tax increase in my house-hold means a lot,” she said. “It’s a prescrip-tion not being filled, a tank of gas, or a pair of runners for my daugh-ter at school.”
D o n M c D e r m i d began his presentation to council with a bang.
“I’m going to pull a Judge Judy. Have you got your listening ears on?” he asked council. “I see a bunch of fol-lowers here on council and one or two lead-ers.”
McDermid claims he pays 30 per cent more in property taxes than when he lived in North Vancouver, where ser-vices such as garbage and recycling pick-up were more frequent.
He also questioned city spending.
“On Highway 19A we’ve had two crews replacing gravel. It might be a project worth doing if we were flush with money, but we’re not,” McDermid said.
Michele Murphy, a business owner, urged council to go back to the “drawing board” and re-consider the
budget.“I’m worried about
all of you, what you’re getting in to,” Murphy said. “Mayor Jakeway, I voted for you because of your tax platform (zero increase). If you have to do a tax increase, don’t make it 13.6, that’s ridiculous. Just work with us.”
Norm Nalleweg said council should honour the mayor’s mandate.
“I strongly believe in a municipal election we vote for the may-or’s platform and his platform was to keep the taxes in line,” said Nalleweg, who moved to Campbell River just four months ago. “Had I known (about the tax increase) I might not have moved into the city limits.”
But not everyone was on the same page.
Carol Dwyer was the lone Campbell Riverite to speak in favour of the tax increase.
“I’m a pensioner on a fixed income, I cannot see Campbell River not having snow plows,” she said. “I think we need to keep the ser-vices we have and I applaud those who sup-port the tax increase.”
Dwyer returned to her seat to a round of boos, which prompted Coun. Claire Moglove to ask the mayor to remind people to be respectful.
Jakeway also asked the gallery to refrain from applause, which seemed to fall on deaf ears as every other speaker was treated to cheering and clapping from the spectators.
Some who spoke a g a i n s t t h e t a x
increase, also called for council to work together.
Councillors are split on the tax increase, which passed by a 4-3 vote at a finance com-mittee meeting March 27. The increase still has to go through a council meeting.
“Please no more four-on-three’s,” Sullivan said. “Get together, work together.”
Perhaps the most impassioned plea came from Manfred Kling.
“To best serve our city at this point in time, you must unite. You must let go of your individual positions no matter how much you believe you are right,” Kling said. “Neither
the group of four or the group of three can afford to win this debate by a one vote margin.
“Such a win will not address the fiscal real-ity but will sow the seed of discontent. I therefore ask you to put your differences aside, rise above the melee and provide the leadership that only a unified council can provide.”
Kling acknowledged council is at a critical juncture that will set the tone for the city.
“I think it is with this issue, at this point in time, that this council will either rise to the challenge – and maybe even become a great
council – or when you will collectively fail us,” Kling said. “It’s been my experience when people work with each other, their best is much, much better than when they work against each other.”
Jakeway, who put out the call three weeks ago for taxpayers to rise up and revolt against the tax increase, said he was pleased to see so many Campbell Riv-erites in attendance and welcomed all the input.
The budget will be up for discussion and first three readings by coun-cil next Tuesday and if all three readings pass, it could be adopted as soon as May 1.

Mom, kids escape dad
A mother and her children were lucky to escape uninjured
following a violent encounter with her estranged husband.
According to RCMP, the incident occurred on Aug.
9, when police responded to an urgent call for help.
The man, who is well-known to police, had assaulted his wife who then fled to her vehicle with the kids. The man then grabbed a sledgehammer and smashed one of the vehicle windows.
By the time officers arrived, the man was being restrained by others. He was arrested and is facing a number of charges including assault with a weapon and mischief.
Rash of vehicle B&Es
Beware of thief stealing from vehicles in the vicinity of South Alder Street and Cormorant Road.
Between April
11-15, police received 20 reports of thefts from vehicles, but they believe there could be far more which have not been reported.
Thirteen of the thefts occurred in the area named above. Police believe the culprit is targeting vehicles with valuable items and returning at night to steal the goods, whether the vehicle is locked or not. Some of the stolen items include loose change, clothing, a laptop computer, projector, stereo equipment, radar detector, GPS unit, digital cameras and other personal electronic items.
Police are reminding the public to properly secure their vehicles, remove any valuables
and to report any thefts or suspicious occurrences.
Drunken
learning curve
On April 12, at 2:30 a.m., police stopped a vehicle on Quinsam Crescent.
The male driver who had just turned 18 only had a learner’s licence and displayed symptoms of impairment.
After failing a roadside test, the driver was brought back to the detachment where he provided breath samples more than twice the legal limit.
The teen is facing charges of impaired driving and under the Motor Vehicle Act. This was one of three impaired driving charges handed out over the past week.

Beware the Flower Clown and Other Roadside Characters
I would imagine that your opinion of
police traffi c surveillance tactics probably
depends a lot on whether you are the
recipient of a ticket or not because of them.
You may have actually seen Corporal Smith
in Nanaimo dressed up as the Easter Bunny
or Constable Martell of Kelowna wearing
a hoodie and holding up a sign made of
cardboard. They certainly got to see a lot of
traffi c violators and provided information to
pick up teams a bit further down the road.
They should not be doing enforcement
unless they are in uniform! Undignifi ed...
civil societies depend on fairness and good
examples. This sounds a bit like sour grapes
to me; the police should stand out so I have
a chance to avoid being caught is what I
might be hearing in these comments.
In a playful mood one day I stopped my
fully marked police car on the side of the
highway, turned on all the emergency lights
and “hid” behind it to work laser speed
enforcement. The traffi c fl ow was moderate
and I seldom waited long for the next
violator to come along. Perhaps I needed a
sign announcing speed enforcement ahead
as an additional warning?
Laugh or cry over it, disguise is a valid
form of law enforcement investigation
and I see no reason that police should
feel embarrassed to use it or that the
public should require them to stop. It is
not unfair or uncivilized, but it could be a
little undignifi ed. To those offi cers who are
willing to be laughed at for the cause, my
hat is off to you!
The author is a retired constable
with many years of traffi c enforcement
experience. To comment or learn more,

TELUS will invest $5.5 million in Camp-bell River in 2012 to expand its 4G wireless network and introduce Optik TV to even more homes.
“TELUS’ $5.5 mil-lion will enhance our world-class wireless network and improve Internet speeds for businesses and house-holds right here in Campbell River,” said Ray Lawson, general manager of Customer Solutions Delivery for the community. “TELUS is committed to making investments in infrastructure and technology to better serve our customers and communities.
“We are deeply grate-ful for the hard work and outstanding com-mitment of our 490 local team members and retirees and for the support of our custom-ers.”
T his s igni f icant
investment is part of $3 billion in infrastruc-ture upgrades being made across British Columbia through 2014 and builds upon the $26 billion TELUS has already invested in operations and tech-nology throughout the province over the last 10 years.
TELUS’ commitment also extends to sup-porting local charities and community organ-isations.
“As important as our infrastructure invest-ments are to our suc-cess, our commitment to local community organisations is near and dear to our hearts. TELUS believes deeply in the symbiotic rela-tionship between the success of business and the welfare of our communities,” said Lawson. “We embrace a simple philosophy – we give where we live – and we take great
pride in the social out-comes we are helping to realize. Since 2000, our TELUS family of 25,000 employees and retirees in B.C. has donated over $100 million dollars and, more importantly, vol-unteered 2.4 million hours, with our hearts and our hands, to com-munity and charitable organisations. Addi-tionally, the TELUS team will contribute a further $10 million dol-lars to local, grassroots community projects in 2012.”
TELUS’ $5.5 million
investment over the next three years will:
■ Enhance its 4G wireless network in Campbell River.
■ Extend Optik TV to more Campbell River homes this year. By the end of 2012 TELUS will expand the reach of its Optik TV service to reach 1.3 million B.C. households. At the end of 2011 TELUS had 509,000 TV customers, adding 56,000 in the final three months of the year. Optik TV pro-
vides never before seen functionality and fea-tures as well as more than 500 channels, including more than 100 in High Definition (HD).

EDITOR: Alistair [email protected]
The world’s thirst for oil is poised to turn the current trickle of crude through Vancouver’s harbour into a gusher.
Kinder Morgan Canada announced this month it will seek to twin its Trans Mountain Pipeline between northern Alberta and Burnaby, increasing its current 300,000-barrel-per-day capacity to as much as 850,000. That means the number of tankers filling up in Burnaby could
hit 360 in 2016 – five times more than the record 69 crude tankers in 2010. Good for the economy, yes. But the question on many people’s lips involves a
frightening scenario: What if there is a spill?Certainly, many safeguards are already in place.
But there’s a hole in the prevention and remedy protocols big enough to sail a sizable ship through. What about wildlife? According to Coleen Doucette, vice-president of the Oiled Wildlife Society of B.C., there are no laws compelling companies to clean up birds and animals impacted by a spill.
Oil spill response usually involves containing spills with booms and collecting the oil using skimmers. If the responsible party requests a wildlife rescue response, Western Canada Marine Response Corporation may manage it or hire a professional organization to perform it. The problem is, not
all responsible parties choose to respond to oiled wildlife. This loophole is particularly troubling in light of recent news that marine mammals are making a comeback in the Salish Sea after decades of decline. Thanks to conservation efforts, sea lions, seals, orcas, humpback and fin whales, dolphins and elephant seals are dramatically increasing in numbers. Our pristine coastlines and their animal inhabitants are among B.C.’s most precious resources. If the province does agree to open its shores to more tanker traffic, protection for our marine animals and waterfowl must be part of the equation.
– Black Press
What about the wildlife?Our ViewOur View
Don’t pooh-pooh this idea before you give it a chance
We say: Public has a big appetite for ensuring protection
It won’t be long before the heavy machinery moves in along with the demo crew.
What took half a century to build will be dismantled in months.
What was once a beehive of activity, providing well-paying jobs for more than 1,000 people in this community, will be gone forever.
Gone, just like the big sawmill that once sat beside the Elk Falls pulp and paper mill. The other big sawmill just down the highway is also long-gone too.
It’s the humbling reality of today’s global era that Campbell River’s for-mer industrial economy is obliterated with cranes, backhoes, jackhammers and sledgehammers.
The demolition crews make their
money and then move on to the next town to get rid of another “dino-saur.”
I never thought this would happen, though, to the mill at Elk Falls. In the mid-1990s I toured the operation and its newly-installed infrastructure: An effluent treatment plant.
That, I wrongly believed, would give this mill a leg up on other aging mills along our coast. Better still, the owners of the day built the facility large enough to accommodate all of the city’s sewage too.
But then the plan hit a snag, namely the provincial environment ministry. In a nutshell, the ministry needed to know exactly who was pumping chlo-rine into Discovery Passage, and how much.
I’m no scientist, but it seemed to me that if the city’s outfall was mea-sured for a year, along with the mill’s, you would have a pretty good idea of who’s contributing what to the efflu-ent. And, if there happened to be a significant spike in chlorine output, the obvious culprit would be the mill, not some home-keeper dumping too much bleach into the wash.
But what do I know?In the end, the mill built its treat-
ment plant because it had to and Campbell River spent tens of mil-lions building its own treatment plant right across the street.
I figure with the two plants operat-ing, we could treat sewage for a com-munity of more than 100,000 people.
So that got me thinking, why
couldn’t sewage from other commu-nities be shipped to Campbell River in a tanker, docked at Elk Falls, and then pumped through the treatment facility?
You think Victoria might consider such an option rather spending more more than a billion dollars for its own treatment plant?
I’m sure the regular group of nay-sayers would, pardon the pun, pooh-pooh such an idea, but there are far worse things shipped through Dis-covery Passage every day.
Treating sewage properly is cer-tainly less irksome than a pole-peel-ing plant and, most importantly, it’s guaranteed income...forever.
Logging and fishing were the primary means of mak-ing a living in this neck of the woods, back in the good old days.
The fishing vessel, BCP 45 is housed in our Maritime Heritage Centre and was given national prominence when the Bank of Canada used its image on the back of the $5 bill between 1973 to 1986. This vessel was a typical seiner for the decades from 1930 to 1970. Most of the work was done by hand, setting the net, brailing the fish into the hold and tackling all the other tasks involved in operating the boat. It was efficiently & suc-cessfully operated by 5 crew members.
During the days of big timber, two fallers worked together to take down big trees, 6-10 feet in diameter, by chopping out the undercut with axes, establish-ing the back cut with a long crosscut saw and then driving steel wedges with sledge hammers to tip the tree over. Two men, with some hand tools, falling large trees, by the sweat of their brows.
The workers made their wages and the employers reaped their handsome financial rewards.

It is with some “tax-payer” dismay that I drive by 7+ yellow clad city employees, work-ing on our main drag repaving small dia-mond shaped patches around each manhole cover. I am not saying the job doesn’t need to be done but making the observation that it seems like “one heck of a lot of workers” for that particular job. I’d be interested in know-ing the hourly rate this maintenance work is costing.
Is it considered an efficient use of tax dol-lars?
This is not a criti-cism of the folks doing the task but a question for the managers and financial planners of the operation.
D. McGillisCampbell River
Continued from A1
It’s a question of tax dollars efficiency
As far as anyone who is not involved in the actual process can determine, the city council and staff appear to have done a good job of getting us through the impact of the mill closure.
And, I am very proud of the city which, with the help of the newspapers, has been willing to listen, engage and encour-age debate on the issue of tax increases. I can only think that this is healthy and can cause a greater sense of involvement for the general public.
The best result would be that it will also encourage a moder-ated way of understanding pri-
orities and making decisions for elected council members and city staff. Can we not establish a better way to deal with city costs than resorting to annual tax increases?
A great deal of effort has gone in to advertising Campbell River as a good place to retire. People facing retirement or retired are exposed cost increases every-where.
While some have indexed pensions, many are stretched to meet demands. A city tax increase which may look to be ‘only a few hundred dollars’ is joined by increases from many
other sources. It is discouraging to think
that our way of life will be diminished and restricted by continual cost increases. It may be that council members and/or city staff have assets and incomes beyond the population mean, and may need to have a different perspective on people’s needs, and ultimately, what is good for our community.
However this year’s budget battle is resolved, I remain appreciative of council’s work on our behalf.
Ruth McMonagleCampbell River
Can we not find a better way?
I am a small business owner in Campbell River. On a daily basis I see 2-3 hopeful faces coming in with resumes. These people vary from young people right out of high school, to middle aged people forced to change careers. These people have heard there is a shortage of trades people, and have paid their hard earned money to educate themselves. The fact is that in BC we do not have jobs for these people. Unlike Alberta, we have seen a steady
decline in industry and good paying jobs. We can all list sev-eral businesses that have closed down in the last 5-10 years just in our local area, Timberwest Sawmill, Catalyst Paper – Elk Falls, and Field Sawmill, just to name a few.
The one light of hope we have in our area is the Raven Under-ground Coal Project. This proj-ect is committed to providing approximately 300 well paying jobs to local people, and approx-imately 450 indirect jobs. Yes,
that is correct the opportunity for 750 well paying jobs on cen-tral Vancouver Island. Imagine the possibility of not having to leave your family to go work in Alberta. That could once again be a reality for hundreds of people. I am proud to say that my family is supported by environmentally responsible resource based companies such as Quinsam Coal, NVI Mining, Grieg Seafood and Western For-est Products.

Council gave the green light to a neigh-bourhood strategy to improve Campbellton despite not having the staff the city manager says is necessary for the project.
Coun. Ron Kerr, liai-son to lobby group Campbellton First, asked city staff two weeks ago to look into an in-house strategy where city staff would work with Campbell-ton residents and busi-nesses to beautify and improve the neigh-bourhood.
City manager Andy Laidlaw reported back there is not enough staff available to do the work.
“What I want to cau-tion council about is, to undertake a neigh-bourhood plan would be relatively onerous,” Laidlaw said at Tues-day’s council meeting. “Staff do not have the resources to do that at this time, given our priorities.”
Campbellton First met with senior man-agement at city hall last fall and agreed on a three-day charrette – an intensive plan-ning session hosted in Campbellton for citizens, designers and city staff to collabo-rate on developing an improvement strategy.
At the time, Laidlaw said the city had a land planner, who has now left the position. A sec-ond staffer in the land department is also no longer with the city. And a third planner is just filling a temporary position and will not be returning.
Campbellton busi-ness owners Jim DeHart and Brian Shaw appeared before council on Tuesday and voiced their dis-appointment with the turn of events.
“We’re very disap-pointed in the report to council,” DeHart said. “We think it’s time to step up and prove to us the commitment you made to Campbellton last year was more
than just (to win the election).”
DeHart proposed a working group that would include a com-bination of commu-nity volunteers and city assistance. He said Campbellton First would like to host six formal meetings but would need city staff to provide advice.
“We’re asking for $400 per meeting to pay for six formal meet-ings we need to hold in our neighbourhood,” DeHart said. “In total, $2,400 plus staff time plus mapping and materials needed for the planning process.”
Shaw is frustrated the city won’t make a commitment.
“We said we can do this as volunteers and we’ve been shut down, completely,” he said. “We’ve put together a good project here, we’re doing the work, we’ve got the volunteers to do this, so come on guys. Let’s get on board to make Campbellton a little bit better than it is. No more pussy foot-
ing around, please.”Laidlaw said the
city could help with a charrette hosted by Campbellton First and could help advance the project if and when the city has the staff.
That prompted Kerr to put forward the motion to have staff prepare the Neigh-bourhood Action Strat-egy, which was passed unanimously by coun-cil.
The strategy will have a budget of $3,000, taken from the council contingency fund, and is to be implemented no later than Dec. 31 of this year.
“There are a lot of projects happening in Campbell River right now, but I don’t think Campbellton should be shoved to the bot-tom of the list again,” Kerr said. “I think there’s an opportunity in Campbellton and I think an opportunity to do more with less. Campbell Riverites are doing that right now and I think city hall can too.”
In spite of reluctance from city staff, Campbellton planning to go ahead

KRISTEN DOUGLASCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
One in four Camp-bell River children live in families struggling to stay above the pov-erty line, according to the latest statistics compiled by an Early Childhood Education initiative.
Dr. Tanya Flood, who spoke to council Tues-day night on behalf of Success by 6, laid out some illustrative num-bers.
“Twenty-five per cent of children live in income-assisted fami-lies and twenty-five per cent of School Dis-trict 72 families make a combined income of less than $30,000 each year,” Flood said.
On top of that, last year one in four chil-dren in Campbell River were not developmen-tally ready to learn when they started kin-
dergarten, according to Flood.
“This is disturb-ing that children are not developmentally ready,” Flood said.
Vulnerability rates in city neighbourhoods are also above the pro-vincial average.
Campbell River chil-dren face vulnerability rates between 22 and 39 per cent, which is above provincial tar-gets.
“Overall the province sets goals to not have more than 15 per cent vulnerability,” Flood said.
The most vulner-able neighbourhood in town?
The Rockland area.Early Years Devel-
o p m e n t I n d i c at o r results show that’s because high hous-ing costs pushed low income families into one neighbourhood, which separated them
from the services and resources designed to support them.
Flood said one expla-nation for increasing low-income rates is the high cost of living.
“Over the last 30 years, the Canadian economy has improved and it has expanded but at the same time we found the standard of living is decreasing for the generation raising young children,” said Flood. “If you adjust for inflation, incomes per household were raised by less than five per cent while housing costs have increased by 70 per cent. Our young families in Camp-bell River are being squeezed because now two people have to earn salaries to have what one salary could provide years ago.”
Success by 6’s pre-sentation was picked up on by people attend-
ing Tuesday’s meeting to protest city coun-cil’s proposed budget. Norm Nalleweg, one of 26 people who spoke as delegation separate from Success by 6’s, said council’s proposed 13.6 per cent residen-tial tax increase will only increase the bur-den on young families.
“The doctor earlier this evening said 25 per cent of children live in poverty,” Nalleweg said. “This is only going to make our situ-ation worse.
“She provided the statistics. You have it right there, so just think about what you’re doing.”
Ray Green, who also spoke to council, said he sees first-hand the struggles Flood alluded to.
“She talked about the poverty of young families,” Green said. “There’s two young families that live next door to me and they’re having a tough go of it. This (tax increase) is only going to make it
worse.”Flood said families
are in need of low-bud-get programs to help alleviate the financial burden.
She said the Camp-bell River Family Net-work is working on solutions and Success by 6 has a partnership with the Gathering Place to provide pro-grams in the Rockland area – the most vulner-able neighbourhood.
Flood said other ini-tiatives include Books for Babies, the chil-
dren’s health fair, com-munity events, educa-tional programs and continued support of the family gym.
Flood thanked coun-cil for implementing Success by 6’s request two years ago to pro-vide free transit for families to commu-nity events such as the health fair and for increasing the age of free ridership from four years to six.
“When we make child poverty an issue, our city wins,” Flood said.

Jen Dowler was not an experienced rider.
She was a fair-weather cyclist, riding the sea walk on sunny days. She had never considered riding her bike to work.
When a co-worker signed Dowler up for their Bike to Work Week team, Jen had only had her bike for a year, and she’d never
ridden more than five kilometres.
How would she man-age the 20km return trip? How long would it take?
Could she cycle up the Dogwood hill to Merecroft?
What about sweaty clothes? What about getting the kids to school?
T he whole task
seemed a little daunt-ing. So Dowler did a test run, and it wasn’t that hard.
When Bike to Work week arrived on a Mon-day morning, there was no snooze button. Since Dowler was rid-ing to work, her kids were riding to school. They rode three out of the five days that week, and one of her
daughters enjoyed the ride to school so much she convinced some friends to join her.
Dowler’s husband was inspired by the family’s efforts, and he too started riding
to work. When Dowler gets home, her exercise is done for the day, she hasn’t used her car and she has a real sense of accomplishment.
“I was not an expe-rienced cyclist before, but now I set more goals for myself when biking,” she says.
Dowler and her fam-ily kept commuting by bicycle once Bike to Work Week was over
because they realized that biking to work and school is possible, and very enjoyable.
Through Bike to Work Week in Camp-bell River, people have found a new activity and mode of transpor-tation that is a great form of exercise and saves money on fuel. Bike to Work Week is May 28-June 3. Sign up at www.biketowork.ca.

When Samson came in to the shelter we noticed that he had a strange little lump on one of his hind legs. Believe it or not it ended up being a pellet lodged under his skin.

C a m p b e l l R ive r Rotary Clubs are join-ing in the fight to elim-inate polio for the sec-ond time in as many years.
Both the daybreak
and noon hour clubs are hosting a run, walk and stroll Sat., May 5 to raise money for the Global Polio Eradica-tion Initiative.
This year, Rotary Clubs reached out to local schools to make the event an even big-
ger success.Tony Fantillo of
the Daybreak Club said Rotarians have made presentations to schools to encourage students to sign up and collect pledges in exchange for their par-ticipation in the walk.
The six kilometre walk runs from Spirit Square to Rotary Beach, before winding up at Spirit Square.
Fantillo said pro-ceeds from the event go towards polio vaccina-tions, which are avail-able in nearly every
country to prevent the crippling disease.
“There are four coun-tries left in the world which don’t have the polio vaccine,” Fan-tillo said. “They say one per cent of the world is left, so if we eliminate the one per cent, it’s gone.”
Nigeria, Pakistan,
Afghanistan and India all still have cases of polio.
“We have to continue (fundraising) until there are no cases reported,” Fantillo said.
Polio is a highly infectious disease caused by a virus. It invades the nervous
system and can cause irreversible paralysis in a matter of hours. There is no cure once the virus is contracted, which makes early pre-vention vital.
Registration for the walk begins at 9 a.m. in Spirit Square and the event kicks off at 10 a.m.

It is no secret that the Cold War was synony-mous with covert mili-tary operations.
Few people know, for example, that massive US Air Force B-36 inter-continental bombers
– referred to as “Peace-makers” – regularly flew mock bombing exercises over major US cities, including San Francisco. It was on one of these train-ing runs that tragedy
struck B-36 Bomber 075.
Just before midnight on Feb. 13, 1950, three engines on Bomber 075 caught fire over Vancouver Island. The crew was ordered to
jump, and the plane ditched somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. Nearly four years later, the wreck of the bomber was found by accident in a remote location in the coastal
mountains of British Columbia, three hours’ flying time in the oppo-site direction of where it was supposed to have crashed. How did it get there?
A f t e r ye a r s o f
silence, the United States finally admitted that Bomber 075 had been carrying a Mark IV nuclear bomb. But was the bomb dropped and exploded over the Inside Passage or was
it blown up at the air-craft’s resting place in the mountains? In his new book, Lost Nuke: The Last Flight of Bomber 075, Dirk Septer investigates the final hours of Bomber 075 and attempts to unravel the real story behind more than 60 years of secrecy, mis-direction and misin-formation.
Dirk Septer is an aviation historian and photographer. He was the lead investigator in the television docu-mentary Lost Nuke and has published over 100 articles in aviation magazines in Canada and the UK and for years wrote a regular column called “North of Sixty” in Canadian Aviator. Dirk lives on Cortes Island.

The prodigal son returns – filmmaker Ian
Kerr will return to his hometown Sun-day for a show-ing of his film Facing Ali at the Tidemark Theatre at 7 p.m.
Kerr will be attending the film showing as part of the Campbell River Festival of Film (CRFF) series and it represents the culmi-nation of a dream of sorts for festival co-founder Kevin Harri-son, Timberline high school principal.
“This has been a dream of mine since we started the CRFF 14 years ago,” Har-rison said. “I am so excited to have Ian an ex-student come back home to showcase his work. In this case an Academy Award nominee.
The Campbell River-raised and now Vancouver-based Kerr began working in tele-vision at age 16 at the former community access cable channel CRTV. He was a media
stu-dent of Har-rison’s at Tim-berline and then he gradu-ated from BCIT in 1993. He began work-ing as a news camera-man at a Vancouver news station before making the transition to documentary and commercial projects.
Kerr was nominated for
Outstanding Cinema-tography- News Cover-age/ Documentaries at the 32nd annual Emmy Awards for News and Documenta-ries in 2011.
Kerr’s work was recognized for the film
Lost Mummies of New Guinea a National Geographic Explorer documentary shot in March 2010.
The film follows an expedition of three Westerners into the land of the Anga people – possibly the last culture with liv-ing memory of human mummification and where some plan to revive the tradition.
Facing Ali is not just a movie about one of the great-est boxers of all time but a look at the culture that went with it. Ten of Muham-mad Ali’s former rivals pay tribute to the three-time world
heavyweight cham-pion. Shortlisted for an Academy Award for Best Documen-tary, it includes lots of stock footage and interviews. Kerr will introduce the film and then do a Q&A after-wards. Tickets can be purchased through the Tidemark Theatre for $10.

Putting is the finicky part of golf.
Which way does the green break? Is it faster in the after-noon? Which way does the grass lie? Are there specks of dirt or leaves than can impede the ball’s progress to the hole?
Like any dedicated golfer, those are just a few of the things Fraser Steenson takes into account when he’s putting.
But Fraser, 65, has to wonder about one more intangible most golfers never have to worry about: Will his hands start to shake due to the tremors caused by Parkinson’s disease, just as he’s taking his backswing?
“Sometimes they’re steady and sometimes not,” Fraser explains, as he holds up both hands to demonstrate.
The tremor in both hands is obvious, but
Fraser isn’t embar-rassed, and he’s never hidden the fact that he has Parkinson’s.
“I’m so proud of him. He told everyone right up front – he never stuck his hands in his pockets when they started to shake,” says Beverly, 65, his wife of 40 years.
April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month, but the Steensons are best known in Campbell River for the 11 years they ran the Camp-bell River Food Bank. They had arrived in the coastal community
in 1995 after Fraser retired from the Cana-dian Armed Forces.
He grew up in Van-couver and then joined the air force. He spent his career flying Sea King helicopters off the back of destroyers, as well as training new pilots.
It was during an East Coast assignment when one of Fraser’s flying buddies intro-duced him to his sister, Beverly, a Halifax girl. From then on, the two of them just “took off ” together.
Fraser and Bev-erly raised two sons – and now have three grandchildren – and life was grand as they approached retire-ment. During his stint in the air force, Fraser
was also commanding officer of all air cadet squadrons in B.C.
It was during a visit to Campbell River when he and his wife fell in love with the coastal community and decided this is where they would retire.
But it was also dur-ing one of his cadet i n s p e c t i o n s wh e n Fraser noticed the first sign of Parkinson’s.
“It was a general salute and I noticed my hand shaking…then I was having problems writing,” he says.
Fraser was diagnosed with Parkinson’s 12 years ago, but it didn’t stop him from perform-ing his many duties at the Food Bank – in 2003 he was named Camp-bell River’s Citizen of the Year.
Since then, the symp-toms have slowly pro-gressed, as Beverly observes the subtle changes.
“I’ve noticed some changes, mostly the tremor,” she says. “He doesn’t do as much writing and he gets more anxious.”
Fraser says he tends to be quieter than he
Fraser Steenson lines up his putt on the eighth green at Sequoia Springs Golf Course as his wife Beverly marks the flag. Fraser enjoys the exercise of walking and golfing to combat his Parkinson’s symptoms.

was before and he doesn’t smile as often, but the symptoms of Parkinson’s differ from person to person.
“In our suppor t group, there are no two people with the same symptoms,” Beverly points out.
There is no cure for Parkinson’s, but there
is a treatment known as deep brain stimula-tion. It involves a sur-gical procedure where a neurostimulator – similar to a heart pace-maker – is implanted
and delivers electri-cal stimulation to the brain.
The goal of the stim-ulation is to alleviate the debilitating symp-toms of Parkinson’s such as tremor, rigid-ity, stiffness, slowed movement and walk-ing problems.
But the problem for Fraser is that just one
doctor in all of B.C. performs the operation and the waiting list to see the surgeon is two years long.
Fraser is waiting for his opportunity for the procedure, so he con-tinues his regime of exercise which is also beneficial for people with Parkinson’s.
His favourite past-
time, for Beverly too, is golf. Their patio home backs onto the eighth fairway at Sequoia Springs Golf Course and the couple love to walk the “garden course” together.
“With golf I find I get more exercise than most folks because I take more strokes,” Fraser says with a
smile and a twinkle in his eye.
Yes, the sense of humour remains intact and so is his positive outlook on life which is also so beneficial to his well-being.
“You have to take control of your life, you can’t let Parkin-son’s run it for you,” he says.

It’s an open house for an open boat.
On Saturday, May 5, all cancer survivors and their supporters are invited to join the Bravehearts Dragon Boat team for an infor-mational open house at Dick Murphy Park on the Tyee Spit.
It will be easy to spot the open house – there will be the team tent set up with the Bravehearts members sporting their signa-
ture green jackets and shirts.
Come out to enjoy the refreshments and try your hand at paddling.
No experience is necessary as the team members will be happy to train you.
After a short lessons, join up with the experi-enced paddlers to take a tour of the Campbell River estuary in the team’s big dragonboat.
Lifejackets and pad-dles will be provided,
but make sure to wear rubber-soled footwear and comfortable, fast-drying clothing.
The Bravehearts are always looking for new members and they’re hoping the open house experience will hook up more paddlers for the cause.
The open house runs from 12-3 p.m.
For more informa-tion, call Suzanne at 250-286-0199 or at 250-202-6918.

ARIESYou could be feeling an accumulation of fatigue at the moment. Be very careful about not overworking yourself and falling ill as a result.
TAURUSYou will receive some interesting invitations to go out, even in the middle of the week. There are plenty of people you would love to see again, and this might be the opportunity to do so.
GEMINIProfessional and family responsibilities seem to take up most of your time this week. Fortunately, good friends are always available to help you out.
CANCERLady Luck will manifest herself in a spectacular way. In fact, you will fi nd yourself miraculously in the lead, perhaps professionally or athletically.
LEOSeveral changes will occur in a spontaneous sort of way, some of them leaving you feeling as though you lack control over your life. Staying good-natured will help you deal with the changes.
VIRGOYou will be confronted with a decision for which you sense you don’t have all the necessary information. Don’t worry, though. Your intuition will help to guide you judiciously in the right direction.
LIBRAMany small but urgent tasks will present themselves and will require a special attention to detail on your part. Try to get plenty of sleep and rest, because you are very sensitive to germs this week.
SCORPIOThis is a good week to work on self-esteem, which you need in order to achieve great things in your life. Don’t hesitate to take on a big challenge that will allow you to feel proud of yourself.
SAGITTARIUSYou might be asked to do some overtime at work, or you will be held up by family obligations. Find some healthy ways to relieve stress and all will work out just fi ne.
CAPRICORNA bit of confusion could arise during some sort of negotiation. If you express your opinions respectfully, your standing in the negotiations will be bolstered.
AQUARIUSThis is a good time to take steps toward buying a property or fi nding yourself a new apartment more in line with your expectations.
PISCESYou have so much momentum that you rush head fi rst into everything you undertake, even if some people try to restrain you. You are so enthusiastic and determined that nothing in the world can slow you down.

Mount Washington Alpine Resort will wrap up a snowy 2011-12 winter season this Sunday, April 22 after hosting the annual Crush Slush Cup.
“Its been another amazing year for snow-fall,” explains moun-
tain spokesperson Brent Curtain. “We’ve received over 14 metres of total snowfall since November which gives us our fourth snowiest season on record.”
In similar fashion to recent deep snow years, Mount Washing-
ton welcomed an ear-lier than expected start to the season in the first week of Decem-ber. After receiving exceptional amounts of snow in late Janu-ary and March, a week-long extension was added to the month of
April.“It’s hard to believe
that three of our four deepest snow years have occurred in the last three years,” Cur-tain adds. “Mother Nature has definitely delivered the goods to skiers and boarders on
Vancouver Island.”Late season snow
seekers will be treated to an entire mountain to ride over the last week of operation. Cross-country skiers will also have full use of the Raven Lodge and Nordic Centre right up
to April 22. The fun-filled Ozone Snowtub-ing Park will also be open daily until clos-ing day this Sunday.
And with a season-ending base of over five metres, the moun-tain has more than enough snow to build
an awe-inspiring venue for this year’s Crush Slush Cup.
The Slush Cup fea-tures costumed partic-ipants who must ski, board, or occasionally slide down a slope and into a frozen pit of snow-filled water.

Members of the Mount Washington E2, K1, K2 and J1 Alpine Ski Team hosted and competed in the TECK Coast Zone Finals Race at Mount Washington last weekend.
Under blazing spring skies on day one of the Giant Slalom Event E2, Sylvi Nymann took third place on the podium with K2 Logan Frame placing fifth.
But it was day two and in the Slalom event that these athletes earned their hardware.
With an unheard of clean sweep of the podium from Mt. Washington athletes were Liam Gilchrist (of Nanaimo) who took gold, Cole Anderson of
Campbell River took silver and Frame of Campbell River took away a bronze for the K2 category. Clinton
Wood of Campbell River also took a gold medal in the J1 age group.
For top Slalom ath-
letes overall, again it was a clean sweep for Mount Washing-ton with Wood taking gold, Anderson taking
bronze and Gilchrist earning the silver.
For the women, Courtney Quin of Campbell River placed ninth overall in the J1 age category for Sla-lom. In the younger age group (E2) – Nymann once again owned the podium with a gold medal in the Slalom.
The Mt. Washing-ton Ski Club focuses on building youth one turn at a time.
The club provides a family-oriented envi-ronment in which m e m b e r s m a k e friends, develop a pas-sion for Alpine Skiing and Alpine Ski Racing, and achieve excellence in a sportsmanlike cul-ture.
Riverites sweep the podium
(From left) Logan Frame won the bronze while Liam Gilchrist took the gold
and Cole Anderson nabbed the silver in a one, two, three sweep of the slalom
event.

CRIMESTOPPERS: 1-800-222-TIPSThink you won’t get caught? Think again!
Go to: www.campbellriverrecycles.ca for locations that will take this kind of garbage!
Seems like a new dumping spot (or an old favourite) is active on an old logging road leading away from McIvor lake. The site is only 5 minutes away from the Lion's Beach parking lot (the big sandy one at the end of the lake - the big public beach). Interestingly, Styrofoam is not recyclable in Campbell River, because it is "so light and bulky" and so not cost effective to transport to a processing centre. By the same token, taking it to the landfi ll instead of the forest near McIvor Lake would cost $4.00. So clearly in this instance, is the landfi ll fee really a factor?
So you’re thinking about downsizing and moving
Are you getting tired of cutting the grass and shoveling snow? Are you uncomfortable lugging laundry baskets and groceries up and down stairs? Perhaps the thought of moving sounds good, but the thought of selling your home and moving to a smaller place overwhelms you. If so, you are not alone!
Making the decision to move to a smaller place is extremely diffi cult for many older adults. If you’ve lived in your home for several decades, then leaving it may feel like an enormous loss. If your children have moved on, it may feel like your house is all you have left. You may think that your house keeps you connected to those happy memories of years past.
But none of that matters if your house is no longer safe for you.
It is estimated that it takes a minimum of 80 hours to completely sort and pack an average home. This is an enormous task.
It will be easier if you break the tasks of downsizing into small segments, which may begin with 15 minute sessions a couple of times throughout the day. The key is to take small steps, one drawer at a time, one box at a time. Share with your family and friends cherished items and heirlooms and take comfort in knowing that these possessions will be appreciated.
If the prospect of tackling this on your own is just too much, you can hire a relocation company.
When it comes to hiring a relocation specialist or moving yourself, deciding which is better is different for everyone. Usually the fi rst factor is cost. But you must also factor in your time, the diffi culty or complexity of the move, your ability, the distance, and who you have in your life to help you.
Is time an issue? Do you have people in your life to help you? Can you organize all the packing materials, utility transfer, moving truck? The headaches of packing and moving everything yourself can be hugely reduced by hiring a relocation service.
A relocation company can also work with your fl oor plans, to help you decide what will fi t. They will help with downsizing and disposing of unwanted items, and create a plan of action and co-ordinate the whole move from start to fi nish. Have you all unpacked and moved in by suppertime.
Making later life moves are never easy, but if you downsize to a smaller home before you need to make a move to a retirement community or care home, that move will be easier. The hardest move for most people is the break from the long-time family home, because of all the memories.
Moving is a great time for personal growth and healing: when a person settles into their new home, they can have sense of satisfaction about the past and hope for the future.
Reminiscing is a combination of a little grief and a lot of celebration.

Swinging start to
2012 baseball season
Campbell River Minor Baseball kicked off its 2012 season Saturday at Nunns Creek Park. All teams at the ball field paused their games Saturday morning to stand along the side of the road to cheer on Terry Kratzman who passed by while on his run from Port Hardy to Victoria to raise money for KidStart. Peewee divi-sion manager Dave Roemer said the moment added to a great season opener, under sunny skies. Pictured above, Jayce Hudak of the mosquito Blue Jays tries valiantly to take a crack at a pitch. Right, Kristian Drake of the peewee Mariners throws out a pitch against the Yankees.

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?
Takes all types of food waste - meat, dairy, bones, vegetables - basically everything from the kitchen table.
It's easy to install, the hardest thing is digging a shallow (2') hole. All it needs is decent drainage and sunlight.
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 emit odors.
Accommodates all of the food waste of an average family of four or five.
The “Green Cones” will go on sale for a limited time only - Monday, April 16 until Friday, May 11. Cost is $130.00 including taxes.
For more information on the “Green Cones” call Elaine Jansen, CSWM compost educator in your area: 250-287-1625 To pre-order or pre-purchase please call or pay in person at:Strathcona Gardens recreation complex in Campbell RiverTel: 250-287-9234 www.cswm.ca/greencones
