Jennifer Baker has enjoyed abeautiful ocean view from herhome for 30 years, but a neigh-bour’s construction project isblocking that vista.
Baker is preparing to sell herhouse on South Murphy Streetand she worries that the newshed behind her will spoil thepretty ocean view and substan-tially lower the asking price.
“I’m fixing it up and I’mgoing to lose,” said Baker.“The view is going to be gone.I would just have a corner andI’m not paying taxes to have acorner view.”
Baker’s neighbour is build-ing a shed for his boat, a 648square foot building that’sroughly 15 feet high. There’sno roof on the structure yet,but once it goes up, Baker saidher view of the ocean willbe completely blocked andreplaced by a big, wooden boxwhenever she looks out herbig living room windows orpatio doors.
“Once he puts the roof up,the view is gone,” said Baker.“It just makes me sick to lookat it – it shouldn’t be there.”

2011 Home show was a huge success! Our National Garage sale was a huge success!Thank you
to everyone who stopped by
our booth!
Thank you to everyone
who donated and shopped!
We raisedover $2,100
for the Ann Elmore
Transition House!
S h e ’s f r u s t r at e d b e c a u s e s h e h a s already spent $15,000 renovating her house to prepare it for the open market and now could potentially lose the money she’s put-ting into the home to completely re-do it.
She also recently cut down some trees on her property to enhance the view, but now she figures it was all a waste.
But Baker isn’t the only one who stands to have their view spoiled. Her next door neighbour, Jim John-son, said the building affects the view of sev-eral homes.
“It’s not fair,” said Johnson. “In this case, if impairing the hom-eowners’ views is not legally wrong, it sure is morally wrong. I’m sure a similar situa-tion would not take place in front of the home of a city official or planning depart-ment employee.”
He said he doesn’t understand why a vari-ance process where
affected neighbours were notified of the project, didn’t happen.
Like Johnson, Baker said she’s upset she had no warning the boat shed would be going up and figured there would be a let-ter from the city or the property owner.
“I don’t know why the hell the city ever approved it,” said a frustrated Baker.
Ross Blackwell, the
city’s land use man-ager, said the hom-eowner was awarded the building permit because the project meets the property’s zoning bylaw.
A l t h o u g h o l d e r developments with ocean views often have restrictive covenants placed on them to ensure the view, and value of the property, is maintained, Black-well said to his knowl-
edge, the property in question did not have one.
“I don’ t believe there’s a restrictive covenant but there may be a development scheme by the devel-oper of the day but the city would not be party to it,” he said. “Mean-ing, a private agree-ment, if there is such a thing.”
Blackwell said the city’s zoning bylaw for
the area does restrict additional, or ancil-lary structures, of a certain height but the boat shed falls within the city’s allowable limit of 16 feet, or five metres, high.
“I feel for her, but if he’s doing everything in accordance, it’s just one of those unfortu-nate realities,” said Blackwell. “Changes in the neighbourhood happen.”

Injured and bleeding, she wants out of the car wreck.
“Get me out of here!” she pleads.
Standing by are fire-fighters, paramedics and police. But there’s little they can do until a hydro crew arrives. Instead, they offer calm and authoritative reassurances.
“Stay there!”“Help is coming!” “Don’t move!”T h e 3 6 - ye a r - o l d
injured driver listens and stays put. For now.
Approximately 15 minutes earlier, she was driving south on Alder, between 6th and 7th Avenues, when she lost control of the red two-door Oldsmobile and slammed straight into a utility pole on the right side of street.
The impact splits the wood pole, crushes the front end of the car and sends the front left hubcap spinning 40 metres up the road.
Emergency crews arrive within minutes of the 911 call, which comes at 4:47 p.m., and quickly close off the street to traffic. But there’s not much else they can do.
The pole supports live wires, a 1,000-pound transformer and a street light. The fear is the pole will collapse and could electrocute the victim as well as emergency workers.
“My family expects
me home tonight,” says a firefighter.
So he stands and waits for BC Hydro to arrive in order to secure the pole and cut the power. However, he walks partway across the street and uses a pole to slip an insu-lating pad under the woman’s feet – she’s sitting halfway out from the driver’s seat – just in case.
And then he retreats back to where the other emergency workers are standing and waiting. They keep looking up the road for hydro to arrive and their frus-tration mounts.
“Come on, come,” he mutters.
The female victim is also becoming impa-tient as she cries out in pain, “I can’t make it, you don’t under-stand!”
But they do under-stand and implore her to stay inside the car.
“Deep breaths, nice and slow. The hospi-tal’s waiting for you,” says a paramedic.
At 5:15 p.m., a BC Hydro boom truck and a lineman arrives. He assesses the situation, but does nothing. A sec-ond truck is required to properly secure the heavy transformer.
Ten minutes later, the second truck and lineman shows up. They manoeuvre their trucks beside the pole as one worker goes up in the bucket and secures the trans-former to the boom.
Finally, at 5:39 p.m., e m e r g e n cy c r e w s safely cross the street and attend to the vic-tim. She’s loaded onto a stretcher and taken to Campbell River hos-pital with undisclosed injuries.
It’s been almost an hour since she hit the pole.

A multi-sport park that proponents claim could host NASCAR
and drag race events, has the city’s support, but it might not be enough.
Eric Harper and Andy DeRoover, both
from Campbell River, want to build a venue that would not only facilitate racing, but also include an amuse-ment park, bumper
boats, hover crafts and a daycare.
“We are proposing to build a multi-sport park for the purpose of having multiple rev-
enue streams from sev-eral businesses within the park that will all contribute to maintain a quarter-mile track,” Harper told council in March when he and DeRoover made a presentation to city council, looking for its support.
Last week, council gave support in prin-ciple to the concept of an extreme multi-sport park development, but there are still signifi-cant hurdles facing the proposal.
The men are looking at a site, in excess of 400 acres, on the west side of the airport. The land is designated as Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), a pro-vincial zone in which agriculture is recog-nized as the priority use.
Although the agri-cultural value of the land is uncertain, in order for the park to be built on the site, the province would need to give approval for either the land to be excluded from the Agricultural Land Reserve or for the park to exist within the protected lands.
“The ALR seems to be the biggest prob-lem,” said DeRoover. “So now we are look-ing for other property as well as the property by the airport because the ALC (Agricultural Land Commission) may turn us down, and we hear that’s most likely what will hap-pen.”
Although the city supports the location in general terms, there are still technical details and issues that need to be worked out.
“Lands on the west side of the airport are not serviced nor have public road access. Accordingly, appropri-ate site servicing would be required as a condi-tion of approval,” said Ross Blackwell, the city’s land use services manager, in a report to council.
“This includes the provision of potable water and sewage dis-posal. Road access will need to be resolved either through dedica-tion and construction of a public road or pos-sibly an access ease-ment over intervening lands.”
DeRoover and Harper are now looking at other communities in the event the land, which is owned by TimberWest, will not be available.
“Until we find the right place to build, which may not be in Campbell River now, we keep on looking,” said DeRoover. “Wher-ever this park is built, will get the huge bene-fits that come with it.”
Harper and DeRoover estimate the venue would host three to four major events per year, such as National Hot Road Association sanctioned events, that could draw 20,000 to 30,000 people to the city. They figure if NASCAR can be brought in, 50,000 peo-ple may attend.
The park would oper-ate 12 months of the year. Centred around a dirt, quarter-mile race track the facility would be aimed at families and may host a junior drag school for up and coming racers, rock/hill climbing, a drive-in theatre and access to R.V. camping and track camping.

It’s not every day a cheque this size comes across Jim Dores’s desk.
“I haven’t been with Thrifty Foods long but I sense that they are very reactive to situ-ations like that, and when this came across my desk, I thought, holy mackerel, this is
tremendous,” Dores said.
Since a massive earth-quake and tsunami ravaged parts of Japan on March 11, Thrifty shoppers have donated more than $54,000 at grocery tills in support of relief efforts. Dores presented the funds last Wednesday to Paul Jenkins, regional council president of the B.C. chapter of the
Canadian Red Cross.“I’m surprised every
day,” said Dores, who has been in the gro-cery retail business for more than 40 years, including 12 with Sobeys and five months with Thrifty’s.
“I’ve never met an organization or a culture like this,” he said. “It doesn’t mat-ter if it’s local or it’s international, it just
seems that the culture of Thrifty Foods is to jump in and be there.”
Funds donated by customers on Van-couver Island and the Lower Mainland will be distributed by the Canadian Red Cross to the Japanese Red Cross, to provide people with the basic necessities of life.
More than 100,000 remain in emergency
shelters in Japan, and Jenkins said it could take at least 10 years for them to rebuild their lives. Interna-tional assistance is helping.
“We seem to go from one (disaster) to another,” said Jenkins. “It amazes me people continue to support one (crisis) after the other, which is heart-ening.”

The money was collected at the tills of all the Thrify Foods for the Japan Relief Drive and was initiated after the devastating earthquake and tsunami on March 11. To date the Red Cross has collected $26 million Canada-wide.

Two new city staff positions
had to be justified in front of
council Wednesday, the third day
of budget deliberations.
Council got hung up debating
the addition of a second custo-
dian for the Community Centre to
address safety concerns related to
working alone.The $77,000 per year position
was added to help support the
custodian working alone after
office hours who’s had to deal
with fighting and public drunke-
ness (see story on page A5).
“We had some very, very close
calls,” Ross Milnthorp, city parks,
recreation and culture manager,
told council. “We believe this
position is integral to the safety
of workers and customers.”
He said a joint health and safety
committee originally took a num-
ber of steps to fix the problem
including setting up cameras
and setting alarms on the doors
of the Community Centre. In the
end, the committee felt the best
solution would be to add a second
custodian.Coun. Claire Moglove acknowl-
edged that having the transit
exchange at the Community Cen-
tre has potentially contributed
to the amount of mischief that
occurs in and around that area.
But Coun. Andy Adams said
moving the transit system
exchange to the Community Cen-
tre was the right thing to do.
“I believe most parents would
say they feel more safe putting
their child on a bus that ends
up where it does now instead of
at the former bus shelter (Tyee
Plaza) which was not a very nice
place,” he said.The second additional city staff
position is a $84,000 per year dep-
uty clerk, a position mandated by
the city.City Manager Andy Laidlaw
said the position needs to be in
place in order to maintain opera-
tions. Peter Wipper, who took over the
position of city clerk after Bill
Halstead retired last year, said
a few months ago while on holi-
days, he was called in to work to
sign papers that were time sensi-
tive. If the city had had a deputy
clerk at the time, they could have
signed the papers in Wipper’s
place.

Right tools required to achieve success
The Comox Strath-cona Waste Manage-ment service is offer-ing residents one more opportunity before summer to purchase a “Green Cone” as the first round of sales
proved so popular with residents keen to recycle their leftover kitchen scraps.
The Green Cone takes all types of food waste, including fruit and vegetable scraps,
cooked and uncooked meats, fish, bones, and dairy products, along with other food waste such as bread and pasta.
The digester turns these scraps into water
and carbon dioxide and then the nutrients are absorbed back into the soil. Garden waste can-not be put in the Green Cone.
The Green Cones are on sale until June
10 for $120, including tax. Residents can call 250-334-6000 or 1-800-331-6007 to place their orders. For more infor-mation on the waste digesters visit www.cswm.ca/greencones

BY JEFF NAGELBLACK PRESS
ICBC has withdrawn its plan to make driv-ers with speeding tick-ets or other recent traf-fic violations pay more in order to give those with a clean record deeper discounts.
Public Safety Min-ister Shirley Bond ordered the public auto insurer to “go back to the drawing board and rethink the options” for major reforms to the rate structure.
Bond said any hike in premiums from a single speeding ticket – which ICBC origi-nally intended – is “not reasonable” but left the door open for changes based on driving records, rather than just at-fault claims.
ICBC president and CEO Jon Schubert said the corporation didn’t adequately com-municate the planned changes.
“We apologize for the concern this caused,” Schubert said. “We’re
going to take a step back and rethink the options for a reason-able way to share risk, and we’ll do a much better job of gathering public input.”
Province-wide con-sultations are prom-ised on a range of options.
ICBC had said it intended to make driv-ers pay more for insur-ance if they have any traffic tickets within the previous three years.
That was expected
to raise the costs for 30 per cent of drivers, while about two-thirds would pay less.
Bond said she agrees with the goal of giv-ing safer drivers lower rates, but defining a high-risk driver as hav-ing one speeding ticket was not acceptable to her or the public.
“In the course of their work, ICBC made a determination that they had had some minimal consultation, talked about the use of a single speeding
ticket, none of which had been discussed with gover nment,” Bond said. “And obvi-ously, the general pub-lic didn’t think that was such a good idea either.”
She said the B.C. Util-ities Commission will have the final say on rate changes. One of the cost pressures ICBC has is that while the number of accidents in B.C. is declining, the cost of personal injury settlements continues to rise.

Money and marriage – nancialto-do’s before saying “I do”
One of the wonderful mysteries of marriage is how two, often very different people, can learn to live as one – and stay that way through thick and thin, the inevitable ups and downs, for many, many years. It all comes from having a strong foundation of love, mutual respect, understanding – and of your new nancial life together. So for couples just starting out, here are some essential nancial tips to consider. Build a nancial foundation that matches the life you want to build together Be clear on the ground rules right from the start. Decide how you’ll handle shared expenses – especially if one spouse has a greater income than the other. Will you split expenses evenly or pay a portion according to each partner’s income? Consider whether to use a joint bank account or keep individual accounts. Check your nancial baggage at the door When it comes to your credit history, full disclosure is a must. A partner’s bad – and unshared – credit history could cause some unpleasant surprises if you decide on a joint credit card or jointly apply for a loan. Build from shared nancial goals Agree on
how you’ll approach major goals like buying a home or starting a family. If you have children, get started on an RESP to help save for their education.
Get it in writing It’s not at all romantic but a marriage contract or prenuptial agreement can be important if you want to protect certain assets accumulated prior to your marriage – like a business or family cottage – or to protect assets for children from a previous relationship. Expect the best – plan for the worst If something were to happen to either of you, how will you take care of each other? Not a happy thought – but it could happen. Disability insurance can provide a steady income stream for your family if you become disabled and unable to work. In the event of your death, life insurance can provide a lump sum to your bene ciaries. Mortgage insurance can help pay off some or all of that large debt. Make your life less taxing Reduce your tax bill by taking advantage of all available deductions and income-splitting opportunities like spousal RRSPs and pension income splitting. Use other tax-planning and
investment strategies that will deliver immediate and long-term retirement bene ts. Where there’s a will, there’s a way Except in Québec, marriage usually voids all earlier wills – so update yours. Make sure it spells out exactly how you want your assets distributed. Don’t forget to also update your Power of Attorney, in which you indicate who can make decisions on your behalf if you are still alive but unable to make nancial decisions. Be sure your nancial foundation is as strong and enduring as your love for each other – talk to your professional advisor about the plans and strategies that make the most sense for your unique union.
This column, written and published by Investors Group Financial Services Inc. (in Québec – a Financial Services Firm), presents general information only and is not a solicitation to buy or sell any investments. Contact a nancial advisor for speci c advice

Michael Bortolotto defied the odds when he graduated from high school and went on to become a public speaker.
Bortolotto 48, was born and raised in Campbell River and has cerebral palsy, a condi-tion that effects his large and small muscle co-ordination and, for many years, the clarity of his speech.
“ T h e r e i s s o m e impairment, but in no way has it ever stopped me from doing what I want to do,” says Bor-tolotto, who shares that message with audiences around the world.
Bortolotto, who is known as the “Positive Rebel,” has spoken to everyone from hockey players to firefight-ers, but his message is always the same.
“There are no limita-tions to the mind except for those we accept,” he says. “The main mes-sage I want to deliver is to realize that regard-less of the problems or challenges someone may be facing, whether it be societal, economic, financial, etcetera, etcetera, I want them to realize within them-selves that they can overcome these chal-lenges.”
Bortolotto says it’s all in how a challenge is perceived. He believes
the key is to rebel against any negative thoughts that may try to creep into someone’s head and turn them into positives.
It’s something Borto-lotto has done his entire life.
Growing up, he was the first student in the Campbell River school system with a dis-ability to be entirely mainstreamed into an all-inclusive academic pro g ram. T hrough his first five years of school, Bortolotto relied on his memory and his mother’s help to write all of his assignments
out on paper. From Grade 6 onward, he had an assigned scribe.
Bortolotto graduated from Southgate Second-ary School in 1980 and credits a great group of friends for his success.
“There was an element of bullying and teasing and I was labelled as dif-ferent,” says Bortolotto. “But one of the things that really helped was going to school with a group of boys who really embraced who I was. A lot of people in high school made my life really enjoyable.”
After leaving Camp-bell River for Nanaimo,
where Bortolotto still resides, he attended Malaspina University College (now Vancou-ver Island University) and used an electric typewriter to complete a diploma in Applied Arts and Sciences in Recreation Admin-istration. He started speaking publicly in 1992, when he made his first speech in Campbell River.
Since then he has competed in numer-ous speech contests and has either won or placed second in all of them.
He has been a mem-ber of the Canadian Association of Pro-fessional Speakers and has delivered two keynote speeches at two different chapters of the Canadian Asso-ciation of Professional Speakers in Canada.
He has spoken at several schools across North America on the subjects of preventing bullying and negative peer pressure. He also teaches students how to succeed in conquer-ing and going beyond adverse challenges and impossible obstacles to turn their dreams into reality.
Bortolotto will return to Campbell River this Friday at 7 p.m. at the Willow Point Hall to share his story.
Tickets are avail-able at the door or in advance by contacting
the Centre for Spiri-tual Living, 250-850-3064 or e-mail [email protected]
Adults, $20 and stu-dents, $5. Bortolotto will also be the guest speaker at the Centre’s May 21 Sunday Cele-bration at 10:30 a.m. at the Willow Point Hall.

It looks as if B.C. will soon get a ban on cosmetic pesticides.
NDP leader Adrian Dix recently proposed legislation to ban the use of cosmetic pesticides across the province, then challenged Premier Christy Clark to take action.
Clark, the new B.C. Liberal leader, says she has supported a ban for years and wants to work with the opposition and the public to find the best way to further restrict the use of lawn and garden weed killers.
If the two leaders can work together to pass a bill, it would be a promising sign bi-partisan co-operation is possible in a forum more noted for rancorous debate.
The dumping of toxic chemicals on such “weeds” as dandelions and chickweed (which are both edible) is totally unnecessary. Why should those who can’t be bothered to weed by hand endanger others by building up a toxic environment?
The province can look to such cities as White Rock, which has had a pesticide ban in place since July 2008, Surrey and more recently Nanaimo for examples.
The Surrey school district banned cosmetic herbicides three years ago, and last month vowed to “curtail and diminish” the use of pesticides and insecticides in and around its schools.
The bylaws came about in part from pressure from the
people in various communities.Thanks to such lobbying, the message is getting heard
at the provincial level.More than 20 cities throughout B.C. have already
banned cosmetic pesticide use.But for such a ban to be effective, it needs to be
province-wide, so we don’t have examples of people being able to buy their dandelion death juice from a neighbouring municipality.
So here’s to a less toxic environment, both in the legislature and on our lawns.

I have just one question: Does your dog bite?
Good point:
PUBLISHER: Zena [email protected]
RCMP
I spotted my buddy Rick during the opening ceremonies of the Mini-World Cup at the Pinecrest field on Saturday afternoon.
He was standing there cuddling his cute little dog which prompted me to sneak up, tap him on the shoulder and ask in my best (worst?) Inspector Clouseau French accent, “Does your dog bite?”
He laughed and replied, in an equally bad accent, “Why, no!”
For those who never saw the Peter Sellers film from the 1970s, the gag ends with Clouseau getting chomped on the finger. Clutching his injured hand, he angrily asks, “I thought you said your dog doesn’t bite?”
To which, the hotel clerk replies,
“That is not my dog.”Fortunately, for my finger, the dog
does belong to Rick and is quite friendly.
After a sniff and a lick – hey, I’m talking about the dog! – I headed over to my next photo assignment, the annual SPCA open house.
There I met Judy Hagen with her poodle/pomeranian Maggi. Like Rick’s dog, Maggi is a cute little slip-per (a term my wife affectionately uses for all small dogs) who performs tricks on command and appears hap-piest all curled up in Hagen’s arms.
But Maggi seems an unlikely can-didate for the course Hagen teaches to school children on behalf of the SPCA, “Bite Free: Dog Bite Preven-
tion Program.”Maggi doesn’t look like the biting
type, but you never know.Back in my newspaper delivery
days, my best friend, who also deliv-ered papers on another route, showed me the bite implanted on his calf by a small dog. It was perfect ‘V’ shape and for years we joked how it stood for “Victory!”
But he got the last laugh. The neigh-bour’s mutt Putz – who dearly loved the taste of paper boys – nipped me once and then a huge German shep-herd almost ran me down at the end of his 100-foot-long driveway.
“You shouldn’t have ran,” Hagen told me as I related the story. “It becomes a game for them and then
they chase!”No, kidding. But this was a really,
really big dog and, at the time, I was almost half its size.
“But...” I tried to say.“Never run,” instructed Hagen.I don’t run from dogs now, but I
never had a Bite Free program to learn from when I was a kid. Back then, your job was to deliver the paper no matter what, even if a hound was hanging onto your rear end.
I’m glad things have changed. The Mirror’s paper carriers are instructed to not deliver if there’s a menacing dog lurking in the yard. And, usually, a solution is worked out with the owner, which sure beats get-ting chomped!
I was extremely disappointed to read an article in the May 6 edition of the Campbell River Mirror regarding Wade Cahill pleading guilty to break and enter on a boat, and theft at Superstore.
Last year my boat was broken into the same day as this individual was arrested outside Superstore. In fact, the constable who came to my boat told me they had him in custody.
At the time, I lost more than $2,000 of items including a brand new Mac laptop, two passports and other pieces of identification. I am still in the process of replacing some of the pieces of ID and none of the other items have been recovered.
The constable on scene seized a cigarette lighter that obviously had fingerprints on it (I didn’t touch it) and there were many other items on my boat that the culprit had touched, as my boat had been thoroughly ransacked. So, I believe it would have been easy to find fingerprints.
I see this as a failure of the RCMP to understand that break and enters are just as important as other crimes and maybe they should spend more time investigating them. This is especially the case where an individual who had been breaking into boats and was caught within 500 metres of my boat in the Discovery Harbour Marina.
I feel I have been victimized by the criminal and by the RCMP on their failure to conduct a thorough inves-tigation.

I wo u l d l i ke a response as to why fingerprints were not taken and also if this individual was ever investigated for my
break and enter?I was, at one time, a
supporter of the RCMP and police in general, but I am starting to believe many of the items we read about in the media and some of
the antics members of the force have been up to. The constable who investigated my break and enter did not seem to care and, generally, was not interested.
Also, when I came to
the RCMP station to drop off a list of the sto-len items, the civilian member at the counter was rude and abrasive to me. This seems to be the typical response to policing in this town
as I have never lived in a town where I see so many drunken adults or stoned drug addicts every day.
Jim Spowart,Campbell River
Continued from Page 10
RCMP: Unhappy with the response
Like many others I wonder what is wrong with the name of our Island Highway? We are in tough economic times and to waste thousands of dollars to rename a stretch of highway is ridiculous.
Not only is it a waste of taxpayers’ money, but also there are other hidden economic impacts that will occur that haven’t been considered. Every business located along this stretch of highway will have to change their address on every piece of stationary, advertising material, business cards, postal meters, office stamps, websites, etc. Every resident will have to send out or contact everyone that they get mail or a bill from.
Why not put that money into something positive impact such as sports revenues for kids, improv-ing more of the Sea Walk, or, do I dare say, save the money to defer future tax increases!
I apologize if I have offended anyone, but this is a lot larger than changing the name on a little green sign.
Dr. Chris Roper,Campbell River
I was born and raised in Camp-bell River and lived in the Willow Point area.
I fished all of the streams of the area, mostly Simms Creek and Ken Forde Creek (most people now refer to it as Willow Creek) and their
contributaries. Around 2005, I was working for a
local contractor, running an exca-vator near Stories Beach, when we discovered hundreds of crayfish. We were told to capture and relo-cate the down stream from where we were working.
Well, when I was a kid fishing in these streams there were never any crayfish.
Now, from what I can determine, they seem to be in every stream
and lake in the area.Well, I am not a biologist, but
come on, if these critters are in every stream and lake, would it not seem apparent that these crayfish would possibly be feed-ing on the soft, palatable, unmov-ing salmon eggs?
I have spoken to a number of individuals within the fisheries department, both in Ottawa, Van-couver, Nanaimo and Campbell River and no one had ever heard anything dealing with the pos-sibility of crayfish being a detri-ment to the salmon stocks.
It just appears no one is looking at this situation as being problem. Please look into this.

Cycle tour will honour soldiersRiders in this year’s
Boomer’s Ride have been training hard for the 240-kilometre tour from Courtenay to Vic-toria.
The 2011 ride is just one month away and more than 60 riders have signed up for the June 17-18 race, includ-ing a few from Camp-bell River.
Past riders have called the experience an emotional, life-changing honour to ride in the memory of Andrew “Boomer” Eykelenboom and sup-port the humanitar-ian projects funded by Boomer’s Legacy.
Men, women and especially children in war-torn countries are
aided, through Cana-dian soldiers, by the fundraising and gen-erosity of Boomer’s Legacy.
The 2011 ride begins at the gravesite of Eykelenboom in Cour-tenay, then takes par-ticipants through some of Vancouver Island’s most beautiful scenery, ending the first night
in Nanaimo, then arriv-ing on the grounds of the BC Legislature on June 18.
Riders are encour-aged to sign up for this incredible opportunity that also serves to hon-our all of our fallen sol-diers who have given their lives for freedom in Afghanistan. Riders are committed to rais-
ing a minimum of $300. Cyclist registration fee is $150. Fees include jersey, meals, accommo-dation, snacks, support vehicles, and transpor-tation.
Register Online at www.boomerslegacy.ca. For more informa-tion, contact Deb Koster at 250-923-9639 or e-mail [email protected]

Today’s Answers
Our WaterThatch: A question
of balanceContrary to popular belief,
leaving grass clippings
behind after mowing does
not create thatch. Grass
clippings actually provide
the following benefi ts:
• Contribute up to 25 per
cent of the lawn’s
fertilizer needs,
• Shade soil and roots and
help retain soil moisture,
• Encourage benefi cial soil microorganisms and
earthworms,
• Decrease need to haul away grass clippings
Thatch is created by the build-up of less easily digested
parts of the grass: roots, crowns and lateral stems. A half
inch layer of thatch is benefi cial because it:
• Acts as mulch to retain soil moisture,
• Cushions soil, making it spongy to walk on, which
reduces compaction,
• Protects crown and roots from winter cold.
Under ideal conditions, thatch production by the plant
and break down by soil microorganisms will be in
balance. Thatch becomes a problem when improper
lawn maintenance creates an imbalance.
Too much nitrogen fertilizer causes the plant to
grow excessively fast, beyond the capacity of the
microorganisms to digest thatch and lawn clippings.
Over-watering keeps the thatch wet, encouraging roots
to grow within the thatch. Thatch doesn’t retain water
well and will eventually dry out. When that happens,
the plant material growing in the thatch will die and
contribute to more thatch.
Once dry, thatch will not re-wet and repels water, no
matter how much you add.
Dethatch in spring. Leave thatch behind over winter
to protect the roots and crown of the grass from cold
weather.
Average water use triples in summer time due to
ineffi cient lawn and garden watering. Increased use
at peak periods compromises City of Campbell River
fi refi ghting ability and increases operating and capital
costs. For more information on water-wise lawn and
garden care, visit the City of Campbell River website
(www.campbellriver.ca) or call or e-mail the water
hotline: 250-203-2316, [email protected].

The Rivercity Play-ers’ production of Veronica’s Room is thrilling audiences at the Tidemark The-atre.
Several accolades were sent to the cast and crew through the Rivercity Players web-site after last Thurs-day’s opening night.
Some of the com-m e n t s i n c l u d e d : “Thoroughly enjoyed the perfor mance, t h o u g h t s e t / c o s -tumes/lighting/etc. were great and the four actors so suitable for their roles.” and “An exceptional per-formance. Please tell ALL your members how good they and the production is/are.”
Other comments included “Good story. Good acting. Good set.” and “You acted
with such depth! Your creepy/moody/e u p h o r i c p e r fo r-mance was wonder-ful! Well done,” and yet another impressed patron even called for the Rivercity Players to receive an award for its spectacular performance.
In Veronica’s Room, a thriller written by Ira Levin in 1973, per-formers Tim Myer-scough and Heidi Ridgway are trans-formed by the talented makeup stylings of
Michele Nylander and her assistant Narinder Sandhu into the seemingly lovable couple of John and Maureen Mackey.
The older couple convince the young couple, played by actors David Tayler and Jana MacFar-lane, to come back to see a photo of a dead girl,Veronica, who they knew and think the young girl (Mac-Farlane) looks like.
After the young cou-ple accepts the invi-
tation, they become trapped in an unex-pected situation that leads to a dramatic ending.
If you missed out on opening night, you can still catch the Rivercity Players this weekend at the Tide-mark Theatre.
Veronica’s Room runs for three more nights on Thurs., May 19, Fri., May 20 and Sat., May 21 before the Rivercity Players travel to Port Alberni on May 27 for the The-
atre BC North Island Festival.
A win of Best Play would then send the Rivercity Players to Kamloops for a chance at the Provin-cial Top Honours at Mainstage.

The Campbell River Arts Council is offering a unique opportunity for writers to attend a series of workshops with one of Canada’s finest young poets, Matt Rader.
Rader is offering the Arts Council a series based on the overall theme of “Writing Life.”
The second workshop in the series will take place on May 29 from 1-4 p.m. Entitled “Taking Shape: An Exploration of Literary Form,” this workshop asks, how do writers discover and uti-lize the shapes of their writings? How does a poet know how her lines should be arranged or a fiction writer decide to tell his story as series of flashbacks? What are the advantages and dis-advantages of planning the shape of your writ-ing before you write? Investigate the function of literary form and strategies for turning it into an advantage in your writing.
Rader grew up in the Comox Valley and is the author of three books of poetry, most recently, A Doctor Ped-alled Her Bicycle Over the River Arno (Anansi 2011). His poems, stories
and criticism have been published across North America, Australia and Ireland, and been nominated for the Jour-ney Prize, the National Magazine Award, and the Pushcart Prize.
Rader has taught writ-ing and literature at The University of Oregon, Kwantlen Polytechnic University, and North Island College. He lives in Cumberland. Visit www.mattrader.com
The cost for the work-shop is $40 and will be held at the Sybil Andrews Cottage, 2131 South Island Hwy., in Willow Point. Please call the Arts Council at 923-0213 to register.

After placing sec-ond at the Vancouver Island Regional Syn-chronized Swim meet in Victoria, on April 9, the Campbell River Competitive Synchro-nized Swim Team brought home the gold medal for their divi-sion at the Jean Peter’s provincial Synchro-nized Swim Champi-onships held last Fri-day in Nanaimo.
Team members Bre-anna Massey, Raya Jor-dan, Rachel Enns and Devon Rogers com-
peted in the Figures competition, as well as the team routine.
Their head coach, Leona Hamm, is the daughter of Jean Peters, who founded the Burnaby Caprice Synchronized swim club, from which the provincial champion-ship gets it’s name. Congratulations to the girls and coach on a season well done!
The club’s recre-actional team and developmental Aqua Giggles also demon-strated their skills, along with the com-petitve team and guest
swimmers from Comox Valley Orcas, on Moth-ers Day, completing the season.
The club members will be looking forward to getting back into the water this September, for a full season now that the Strathcona Gardens is renovated.
Many thanks to our sponsors, and coaches for a great season.

Gymnast wins all-around title at Delta meet
The Campbell River Gymnastics Association sent five athletes to the Delta Invitational for their annual competition on May 7-8.
Melissa Morton was solid on her events sticking a nice back layout and back tuck on the floor to earn her a fifth place finish on the floor. She followed up with another stick on the vault for a ninth place finish.
Her sister, Kayla Morton, competes in the Level 4 Open division, and had a strong pow-erful front handspring full twist on vault to earn a silver medal.
Kayla was consistent on her other appara-tus as well finishing fifth on bars, sixth on the beam and seventh on the floor to give her a fifth place all-around finish.
Tiffany Sharkie was on a roll to start off the competition in the Level 3 Open category. She won vault with a big front handspring full twist and went over to the bars where she earned another gold medal.
After a slip on the beam in warm-up, she hit her ribs on the beam and was unable to con-tinue with the competition.
Melissa MacAdam also competed in the Level 3 Open category and was able to come home with the all-around title. She finished second on vault, third on bars, third on beam – adding a new handstand back handspring to the routine – and finishing fifth on the floor.
Aimee Clark was competiting in the cash and carry event. This event groups together all the level 5 and up athletes to compete for money. Because of the National Level athletes she was competing against, we knew this would be a hard task to try and finish in the top so it was a good time to try some new skills.
Clark hit a 13 score for the first time with her bar routine adding a back layout one-and-a -alf twist dismount taking a slight step.
She also upgraded her beam routine, adding a standing back flip with a pike in the middle. Both new skills were performed quite well and adding more skills is the plan to get her to National Open for next season.
