Much of Vancouver Island was on high alert last Friday morn-ing with the potential threat of
a tsunami after the devastating 8.9 earth-quake in northeast Japan.
Although Campbell River was never in any real danger, that may not always be the case.
If an earthquake hit closer to home, a tsunami is something people need to be aware of and they need to know what to do, says Howie Siemens, deputy emergency program co-ordinator for the Strathcona Regional District.
“Campbell River is in a lower risk area when it comes to tsunamis because by the time it would reach us, the power of the waves would have been dispersed by the islands and channels nearby,” Sie-mens says. “I’m not saying we wouldn’t get a tsunami but we wouldn’t be devas-tated by a tsunami.”
Siemens says the number one thing people need to remember is, after an earthquake, head to higher ground because a trembler in local waters will more than likely trigger a tsunami.
“We can’t predict the size of the wave that’s coming, so the higher you can get, the better,” he says. “Of course it’s not only the height of the wave but the force that you have to be aware of. They can travel up to 300 to 400 miles per hour. You
see in Japan that it’s lifting up houses and tractor trailers like they’re nothing – just bathtub toys.”
Siemens says although scientists can’t be certain, it’s estimated that if a tsu-nami was headed for Campbell River, people would have roughly 15 minutes to evacuate any low lying areas and head inland.
Once the Strathcona Regional District, which co-ordinates the city’s emergency program, receives a tsunami warning from the Provincial Emergency Pro-gram, a media release is sent to all local radio stations. The greater the risk, the more information that is shared with the public.
The province identifies four types of tsunami bulletins, with a tsunami warn-ing the most serious.
Friday morning’s bulletin was a tsu-nami advisory, the third highest level of tsunami alert.
Siemens says if Campbell River was issued a tsunami warning, the message to get to higher ground would be broad-cast over the radio almost instantly.
More than 30 feet (about 10 metres) from the ocean is best, up into the Dog-wood area.
A mass e-mail would also be sent out to all first responders, RCMP vehicles and fire trucks would be dispatched to spread the message through their loud speakers to evacuate areas near the water.
People can also sign up to have earth-quake notifications sent to their cell phones by registering online: https://sslearthquake.usgs.gov/ens/

Siemens says the regional district is also looking into put-ting emergency alerts on its website as well as setting up a Face-book page.
After a tsunami, several relief shelters would welcome those affected.
Timberline Second-ary School would be one of multiple emer-gency shelters oper-ated by local Emer-
gency Social Service volunteers to provide food and blankets and other emergency supplies. But in the wake of a disaster, not everyone may be able to get themselves to a shelter which is why it’s important to have a grab-and-go kit in your home that has a blanket, food, water, any prescriptions, a flashlight and scis-sors. For children, pack a book or a stuffed animal, any-
thing to provide them with some comfort.
Siemens says bot-tomline, the most important thing is awareness.
“Japan was a good example of what we can expect with The Big One,” he says. “It dropped off all com-munication signals and their tsunami warning system occurred but there was not a lot of time and people were not too reactive to it.
People were going to watch (the tsunami), not understanding the strength of it. Some-thing we learned from Japan was maybe we should have maps on our website to show people if they are living in an area of risk.”
Siemens says Camp-bellton, low lying areas of Willow Point and downtown areas would be most vulner-able in the event of a tsunami.

A man charged in connection with a rob-bery and thefts will remain behind bars.
David Love, 31, was denied bail by Judge
Thomas Dohm on Monday in provincial court.
Love is charged with robbery, break and enter, escaping from custody, using a forged document, two counts of theft under $5,000
and two counts of pos-session of stolen prop-erty under $5,000.
Love is accused of breaking into a home in late January, steal-ing televisions from London Drugs on Feb. 20, and the robbery
of gold chains from Thong’s Jewelers on Feb. 24.
Details of the alleged offences cannot be reported due to a pub-lication ban.
His next court date is March 28.
Man faces robbery and theft charges
Big money for stolen copper wire
The recent rash of copper wire thefts is a crime which is typically cyclical, said RCMP Sgt. Craig Massey.
“When the price of copper goes up…the financial gain is substantial,” he said Monday.
Overnight on March 6-7, approximately $8,000-$10,000 worth of copper wire was stolen Lee Mac Electric on 17th Avenue. The same morning, A-1 Radiators at 1961 Island Hwy., reported the theft of 200 pounds of copper wire valued at $400. A radiator core, worth $1,500 was also stolen. And, in late February, copper wire valued at $10,000 was stolen from two different Telus sites located in the Campbell River area.
Massey suspects the wire is being bought by unscrupulous scrap metal dealers and it’s difficult for police to make
an arrest. The wire is usually covered in plastic, marked with identification or serial numbers. But Massey said thieves usually burn off the coverings at night, when the black smoke can’t be seen, and then sell the plain copper wire to anyone with cash.
He added that police rely on the “intestinal fortitude” of scrap buyers to report suspicious sellers.
Thief caught, but not charged
Things didn’t go so well for the culprit who was caught breaking into a man’s home on the afternoon of March 7.
His situation appeared to get worse when the man took him to the RCMP detachment. But then, the home owner said he wanted to give the man a break and did not want charges filed.
The suspect was set free. Packed and readyA group of 33 Carihi and Timberline International Co-op students, their teacher and chaperones are travel-ling to Nepal on Saturday to help build an irrigation system for a village outside of Pokhara. The village of Lahachowk and neighbouring village, will have their food production increased by 65 per cent with the irriga-tion system. Students and chaperones will be digging, moving sand and rocks for cement to build the walls of the water trench. While working in the village the group will be in home stays.

Jannie Koomen feels lucky to be walking.
It’s a miracle she can ride a bike all the way to Seattle.
Jannie, along with her husband Jacob, will be riding from Vancouver to Seattle this summer in this year’s Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer.
Just three years ago Jannie was lying in intensive care in Vic-toria, with a marathon bike ride the furthest thing from her mind.
“I’m lucky to be alive,” says Jannie who suffered a major cycling accident while on her way with Jacob to visit friends on Cor-tes Island.
As fate would have it, the couple planned to
take their tandem bike over to the island but the morning of their trip, Jacob went to the garage only to discover it had two broken spokes and they were forced to take separate bikes.
Unfamiliar with the terrain on Cortes, Jan-nie was going way too fast down hill when she failed to navigate a steep corner. Her bike hit a log and came to an abrupt stop but Jan-nie didn’t.
She flew off her bike into the woods where she landed hard on all fours and then rolled, striking her head on a rock. She suffered a
broken spine, two bro-ken arms and a minor brain injury.
“The first thing the doctor said was if I wasn’t wearing a helmet I wouldn’t be alive,” says Jannie.
It took her almost a year to get back on a bike.
Now, aside from the occasional sore back, Jannie is fully recov-ered and ready to tackle the Ride to Conquer Cancer June 18-19, for the second time in as many years.
Jannie will be rid-ing with Jacob on the tandem bike they have dubbed Spirit Rider.
Jannie, who runs
her own porcelain doll making business out of her home studio, saw her brother die from cancer at the age of 59 in 2006.
Jacob, meanwhile, saw two co-workers lose their battles with cancer within months of each other last year.
“We have a pack that sits at the back of our bike and we say all the spirits are in there,” says Jannie. “It’s full of spirits, they ride with us.”
The ride, which is 260 kilometres long, is an initiative of the BC Cancer Agency to sup-port cancer research.

Campbell River may be the proud owner of a new trolley bus.
The city is consider-ing purchasing a bio-diesel trolley bus but what it will be used for is still up in the air.
Ben Chalmers, Riv-ercorp chair, recom-mends the trolley replace the existing city bus on the down-town core/Wil low Point route.
C o u n c i l h a d requested Rivercorp develop a business case for a downtown trolley bus but that proposal would see the city lose thousands of dollars a year.
“We found through the business plan that we don’t believe a downtown trolley bus would generate enough revenue through adver-tising to sustain itself,” said Chalmers.
Operating the bus solely downtown would
result in a deficit of $80,000 to $90,000 per year.
Chalmers said there is a much higher likeli-hood of bringing in the dollars needed to make the trolley bus viable if it were to operate between downtown and Willow Point.
“There’s a number of residents that live along that corridor plus there’s people walking along the Sea Walk that could walk one way and then get a
ride back to their start-ing point,” he said.
According to the busi-ness case, it’s expected the trolley bus would attract 5,000 riders per month and the major-ity of ridership would be low income resi-dents, students and day care providers.
The trolley would be free of charge but an average donation of 25 cents would be expected.
In building a business case, Rivercorp looked
at the communities of Ladysmith and Lang-ford which both run trolly buses. In Lady-smith, ridership is by donation and revenue has been lower than expected.
The business case report says Ladysmith is concerned about to where it will get money for the bus in the future as the trolley puts a lot of mileage on and the wear and tear is increasing.
In Langford, the city
runs two trolleys at a loss but they look at it as community build-ing, according to the report.
The bus uses biodie-sel and advertisements on the bus show that corporate citizens are willing to step up and help.
To purchase a trol-ley for Campbell River could cost anywhere from $40,000 to $90,000, depending on the type of bus.
It would cost roughly
$70 per hour to oper-ate and insurance would be $5,000 annu-ally, according to a report to council by Drew Hadfield, the city’s transportation manager. City council received Rivercorp’s report on the trolley bus last week but took no further action.
Coun. Andy Adams said he would like to know what the full impact to the transit system would be before moving forward.

It raised $6.9 million in its first year and $9.6 million in its sec-ond year. Jacob says the race is growing and they hope to top that total this year. In order to participate, Jacob and Jannie need to raise a minimum of $5,000.
They are holding a dance with musical group Ten Times Big-ger on Saturday, March 26 at the Legion Hall. Doors open at 7 p.m.
and the show begins at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15 at the Music Plant and Balloons N More Party Shop.
For Jacob this will be his third year par-ticipating in the ride. In 2009 he had to ride alone because Jannie, who volunteered to pro-vide medical support, was still recuperating from the accident.
He says the best thing about the ride is get-ting to share his pas-sion for cycling with his wife.
“I love riding my bike. I step on my bike and sometimes ride to Nanaimo,” says Jacob. “The best part is we do it together on the tandem. Ever since the accident I’ve always been worried about Jannie and this way I know where she’s at and I can talk to her.”
Jannie says she enjoys the camarade-rie shared between the cyclists.
“Everybody’s doing the same thing and it’s nice to talk to people and find out their sto-ries,” she says.
At the end of the race, there is a celebra-tion ceremony at the University of Wash-ington.
“It’s like finishing a major cycling event,” says Jacob.
“A loud speaker announces your name and thousands of peo-ple are waiting and cheering you on with signs and Canadian flags.”

The city plans to purchase hybrid vehicles to replace two vehicles that were destroyed in a car accident last month.
The city posted a two-day invite last Thursday for offers of two, five-door hybrid hatchbacks.
It was looking for, among other things, new, unused vehicles with automatic transmission and hands-free cellular telephone capa-bilities to replace a couple
of vehicles that were badly damaged.
“Four city vehicles were affected by a truck that ran out of control and two had to be written off,” David Morris, the city’s supply and facilities manager, told coun-cil at a meeting Feb.22.
The 26-year-old male driver lost control on Alder Street while adjusting his car ste-reo, jumped the curb at City Hall and struck the four vehicles Feb. 13 at 10 p.m., according to RCMP.
The crash caused extensive damage to two Dodge Cali-
bers that Morris said were “purchased not too long ago” and were valued at roughly $10,500 each.
The city has budgeted for replacement vehicles at $40,000 a piece.
By purchasing hybrid vehi-cles, the city can dip into its capital works fund.
The fuel efficient vehicles also tie into the E3 Fleet pro-gram which Campbell River became a participant of in November 2007.
The program promotes reducing greenhouse gas emissions, cutting operating
costs while fuel costs rise and an increase in fuel efficiency. As a member in the E3 Fleet program, the city’s fleet will be reviewed and a set of reports with a snapshot of its emissions and perfor-mance will be provided. The program also provides the city with a comprehensive roadmap to improved fleet efficiency.
The evaluation comple-ments the city’s ongoing green building initiatives and supports the city’s com-mitment to carbon neutral-ity.

Was Marguerite John acting in self defence or did she kill her common-law husband to end an abusive rela-tionship?
That’s a question being contemplated by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Douglas Hal-fyard as John’s trial came to a close on Tuesday in Campbell River.
The 33-year-old Zebal-los resident is charged with manslaughter in the stabbing death of her estranged husband Russell John.
The 42-year-old died from a single stab wound to the heart
on March 7, 2009. Just seconds after he was stabbed in his uncle’s home on the Ehatte-saht Reserve, Margue-rite made a frantic 911 call.
“He’s bleeding to death!” Marguerite told the ambulance operator, in a record-ing heard at trial last week. “I stabbed him in the chest…he’s bleed-ing to death, we need an ambulance fast!…Russell, wake up!”
But the bleeding couldn’t be stopped and Russell died before an air ambulance was able to fly him out of the tiny West Coast village.
In the Crown’s sum-mation, prosecutor
Leslie Fil l ingham said the 911 call is a key piece of evidence in the case. During the call, Marguerite told the operator that she’s still intoxicated and stabbed Russell because he often beats her up.
During the trial, relatives testified they occasionally saw Mar-guerite with black eyes or bruises on her arms. They also indicated that she wanted to get of the abusive, alcohol-fuelled relationship with Russell.
However, Fillingham pointed to inconsisten-cies in Marguerite’s version of events (Mar-guerite did not testify at the trial).
The night before Rus-sell was killed, Mar-guerite had been wait-ing for her mother to return from shopping in Campbell River.
After helping to unpack the groceries, Marguerite indicated she was tired and wanted to go to bed. However, Russell was waiting for her inside the trailer.
She had kicked him out of their home several months ear-lier, in an attempt to stop drinking, but it appeared they were trying to reconcile their relationship.
But on that night, the two began drinking vodka which led to an argument.
At some point, she kicked Russell out of the trailer and he punched out a window with his fist.
The next morning, said Fillingham, Mar-guerite woke up and was angry at Russell because her trailer was a mess and her door key was missing.
She went to where Russell was staying and slapped him on the cheek to wake him from his stupour.
Moments later, she stabbed Russell in the chest with a folding knife. She later told police she stabbed him to avoid being beaten.
Judge to decide on manslaughter
Break-in at apt. fire scene
Three people were arrested inside an apartment building that had been evacuated due to a recent fire.
One adult male, along with two youths, a boy and girl, were arrested Saturday, around 9
a.m., at the Concord apartments on 7th Avenue.
Residents of the complex had been forced out following a blaze inside one of the apartments on the night of March 8.
The man appeared in court on Monday while the youths will appear before
the judge at a later date.
Thieves break in, steal safe
Police say they know who the suspects are who broke into a home and stole a safe on March 7.
A woman was home alone at
her residence on Harrogate Road when two disguised men forced their way inside and stole a safe containing cash.
Fortunately, the female was not harmed and the safe was found, along with its contents, the next day.
The investigation
is continuing.Also on March 7,
three adults were caught stealing $200 in children’s clothing from Zellers located at Discovery Harbour Mall.
And on March 8, a culprit spraypainted the door at Discovery Community Church.

CANPAGESTM PUBLIC ADVISORY
INCORRECT LISTING IN CANPAGES
UPPER VANCOUVER ISLAND DIRECTORY
Canpages wishes to inform residents of a printing error that has been detected in the 2011 Upper Vancouver Island Canpages directory.
On page 261 of the directory’s residential listings section bearing the title “Plouffe – Ponsford,” an entry marked “Police” appears alongside a toll-free number (888-310-1122). This number does not connect with local police or emergency services but is instead the contact for the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Information Services. Due to an error at press time, the “OPP” was dropped and the listing printed with the simple title “Police”. The correct number for non-
emergency Police inquiries for Campbell River is:
250.286.5630.
In order to avoid confusion, Canpages would like to remind residents that emergency calls should be directed to 911, as indicated in the “Emergency Numbers” contact section, located on page 2 of the directory. This page also contains contact information for local police stations in and around the Upper Vancouver Island area.
Please direct any further questions regarding this matter to Canpages Customer Care at 1-800-634-1476.

It takes a village to raise a child and it takes
everyone’s input to build a community.
This is the key mes-sage in a community dialogue to take place on Saturday. The city of Campbell River and surrounding commu-nities are in a time of incredible change.
The provincial gov-ernment has taken various initiatives to bring First Nations into a greater involve-ment in provincial economy while work-ing through a treaty process.
Recent court deci-sions also have recog-nized First Nations and awarded them with a greater level of input and responsibil-ity for management of land and resources.
As we consider the many changing dynamics in our province, there is no better time to come together and explore how to build a strong inclusive and diverse community – one that includes all commu-nity members from immigrants to First Nations, businesses to provincial, regional and local government, education and health care along with other
sectors of our society. Campbell River
Multicultural and Immigrant Services Association is invit-ing participants from every sector of our community, including the general public, to attend the It Takes a Village Community Dialogue on March 19 at the Maritime Heri-tage Centre.
In this dialogue, participants will take part in experiential day, learning about First Nations culture from before contact with early explorers up to present day. Using an interac-tive dialogue process called the “World Café” in conjunction with the “It Takes a Village” First Nations training, participants will break out into small groups to share ideas, and gain a bet-ter understanding of ourselves, our similar-ities and acknowledge our differences with others, in order to cre-ate a more inclusive Campbell River.
Rachel Blaney, Executive Director at MISA is excited by the opportunity to bring local residents, immigrants, busi-nesses, government
leaders, educators and others together with First Nations to build bridges in relation-ships.
“What we hear from everyone is that this dialogue is very timely for them,” she says.
Kathi Camilleri of the Aboriginal Outreach Program and the Ministry of Children and Family Development says, “The elders have taught us that when building a large canoe, often two logs are used. In putting them together, we build a canoe big enough to hold everyone. Dia-logue is about build-ing this canoe and paddling together.”
It Takes a Village First Nations Train-ing and Dialogue is funded by the Cana-dian Government and Embrace BC through the Ministry of Regional and Eco-nomic Skills Develop-ment. Other sponsors include the Simon Fraser University Continuing Studies, Dialogue Programs and the BC Ministry of Children and Fam-ily Development, Aboriginal Outreach Program.

You’ve got to eat; why not support a good cause at the same time?
On Thursday, March 24, restaurants from across Vancouver Island and the Gulf
Islands will join the fight against AIDS by donating 25 per cent of their food revenue from every meal. Enjoy a great restaurant meal, a great night out, and you pay nothing
extra! Donations are of course welcomed and all money raised goes to AIDS Vancou-ver Island (AVI) , Van-couver Island’s largest community-based HIV/AIDS organization.
Diners will also have the chance to win a cruise for two from Expedia Cruise Ship Centres.
AVI supports local people living with HIV/AIDS. Many partici-
pating restaurants are offering breakfast and lunch too, and some even do takeout, all of which will benefit Din-ing Out for Life. And for every Stella Artois sold in participating
restaurants on that day, 1$ will be donated to AVI.
What meetings or gatherings can you bring to a participating restaurant on March 24? If you’re going to
dine out only once in March, make it Thurs-day, March 24. Partici-pating restaurants in the Campbell River area are Fusilli Grill, Royal Coachman and Salmon Point Pub.

EDITOR: Alistair [email protected]
As the scope of the catastrophe in Japan unfolds, here in B.C. we should pause to reflect upon two things – first, the tragic loss of life to the earthquake and tsu-
nami, and secondly, our own level of preparedness for such a natural disas-ter.
Experts have long been warning that the B.C. coast sits on a major fault line. It is a matter of when, not if, a killer quake hits this area.
There are serious lessons to be learned from this most recent crisis. In the days that followed Japan’s quake and tsunami, people were searching for water and food.
Clearly, thousands of households – including those that escaped damage – were simply not prepared to handle such an emergency with the most basic sup-plies and plans. Are we? The answer is, for the major-ity, no.
The ramifications of a major quake will be the same here as they are in Japan. Stores will be damaged, and those that aren’t will be sold out of essential supplies in hours. Transportation will be severely interrupted. Telephone and Internet is likely to be down.
So... do you have a survival kit in your home, with all family members familiar with its contents?
Do you have a complete first aid kit, and sufficient knowledge to deal with basic trauma?
Do you know how to turn off the gas in your home? Do you have alternate shelter in case your home is uninhabitable?
Do you have a family plan as to what to do if a quake hits while you’re separated?
Do you at least have enough water to last three days, for your entire family?
Do you have enough food on hand to last that long, or longer?
If you answered no to any of the above, you have a choice.
You can become prepared now, or ignore this latest warning – at your peril.

Are you prepared for disaster?Our ViewOur View
B.C. government going Gaga over smart meters
Good point:
We say: Do you have a complete emergency kit at home?
Tom FletcherB.C. Views
PUBLISHER: Zena [email protected]
Water
This summer, BC Hydro starts installing 1.8 million smart meters to eventually upgrade every electricity customer in the province.
This is controversial for several reasons. First, they’re doing it now because former premier Gordon Campbell decreed it must be done by the end of 2012. Second, the smart grid is one of several major BC Hydro projects the government exempted from having to undergo a cost-benefit review by the B.C. Utilities Commis-sion.
And, of course, there is the bud-geted cost of $930 million, coming at a time when BC Hydro is projecting rate increases approaching 50 per cent over the next five years.
When I spoke with BC Hydro smart
meter project executive Fiona Tay-lor last week, she naturally had no comment on the politics. Smart meters are inevitable, she said, since mechanical meters are obsolete and eventually won’t be made any more.
Taylor insists the pending rate increases would be even higher without smart meters. BC Hydro estimates the wireless meters will not only pay for themselves, they will produce a net saving of $500 million over the next 20 years.
Even some BC Hydro employees were surprised to hear that, with current technology, the utility has no way of knowing your power is out until you phone them. And when line crews come out to repair a local blackout, how do they determine if
the repair is complete? They drive up and down the road to see if people have lights on. If you use a backup generator, they might miss you.
Smart meters will have “last gasp, first breath” capability, storing enough energy to send a signal that reports the power has gone out, and another signal when it is restored. As it stands, a repair truck can be dis-patched to a reported power failure, only to find that the customer’s main breaker has tripped.
There is another concern, which is that the brief signals emitted every few hours to send readings to a cen-tral hub are somehow a health haz-ard.
BC Hydro has retained former Vancouver medical health officer Dr.
John Blatherwick to respond to this. He notes that smart meter signals are the equivalent of a three-minute cell phone call once per day, at a much greater distance.
These particular radio frequency signals are similar to those used for digital TV. Such signals are also emitted by the spark plugs of a car, by lightning strikes, in fact all visible light and even the infrared generated with your body heat.
But there are people who insist they have a greater sensitivity, and there will probably be some generalized hysteria and system-milking as we saw with the squabble over a power line through Tsawwassen.
The NDP is nurturing this flame of
World Water Day, a United Nations-sponsored event on March 22 is fast approaching.
Nationally, provincially, regionally and here in Camp-bell River, water issues keep bubbling up.
Nationally, the federal Conservative government refused to support the U.N. resolution declaring water as a human right.
Fortunately, the majority of the world’s countries voted to pass this.
For more information on this story, check out the award winning Council of Canadians documentary “Water on the Table” on Shaw T.V’s community chan-nels in Campbell River (Channel 4) on March 22 at 5 p.m., March 26 at 5 p.m. and in Courtenay (date and time to be announced).
Provincially, the Liberal government wants to mod-ernize the B.C. Water Act.
Their proposed new framework introduces ‘water trading rights’ which basically means control of our water will be turned over to the market forces.
This focus moves us in the direction of privatization and water as a commodity – a direction opposite to the U.N. resolution making water accessible to all … not just the highest bidder.
If you want to continue to keep water publically accessible, you are still able to send feedback on the Water Act Modernization: http://blog.gov.bc.ca/liv-ingwatersmart/2011/02/17/conversation-on-the-policy-proposal-extended-to-march-14-2011/#%20comments

discontent as it cam-paigns against smart meters. It’s popular among the young, and no less an authority than Lady Gaga is the poster girl to warn against wireless Inter-
net in schools.NDP leadership can-
didate John Horgan is the party’s rank-ing power expert. He mainly argues that BC Hydro doesn’t need to spend all this money on smart meters right now. But he is care-
ful not to question the tinfoil hat perspective, and risk alienating the ignorant and supersti-tious vote. This is a key constituency in parts of B.C.
Blatherwick notes that “if you truly are harmed by this level
of radiation, you can’t live in a major city.”
I’ll say. The computer producing this column is on wireless, one of at least a dozen signals it can detect in my neigh-bourhood.
Our modern comfort is fragile, as Japan
reminds us. It needs smart equipment, and smart people.
Tom Fletcher is legis-lative reporter and col-umnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com.
The hottest regional water issue right now is the multitude of applications to extract millions of litres of water daily for bottling from our coastal inlet streams.
This huge amount of water removal could result in negative envi-ronmental impacts on the rivers, land and wildlife – especially in our time of reduced stream flow due to rapid climate change.
Our Council of Cana-
dians chapter and many other environ-mental groups and pol-iticians have but one message to give B.C.’s Environment Min-ister, the Strathcona Regional District direc-tors and City council-lors: just say NO to this potentially destructive scheme to privatize our public waters and to build more bottled water plants.
Bottled water rears its ugly head again as another local water issue and here’s the
l owd ow n . B o t t l e d water is environmen-tally destructive and wasteful of the world’s water supplies.
Millions of bottles
continue to be dumped in the world’s oceans polluting them and killing an increasing number of birds and sea life that ingest bro-ken down plastic chips from the discarded bot-tles. Vast quantities of water are used in the bottle manufacturing process.
Bottled water is not cleaner or safer than tap water as it doesn’t undergo the vigor-ous testing that tap water is subject to. Given these facts, the
Campbell River City council could build on their campaign of pro-moting our excellent drinking water by ban-ning bottled water in city facilities.
So how about it coun-cillors, pass a resolu-tion to ban bottled water in community facilities for World Water Day 2011.
No more plastic in the oceans.

ans, Campbell River Chapter

After a long day of pas de basques, highcuts, Johnnies and other traditional Scottish dances, some local dancers came through with outstanding perfor-mances on Saturday at the North Island Highland Dance Asso-ciation’s 33rd Annual Campbell River Com-petition.
Dancers from both Donna MacIver and Gayle Allen’s schools competed against competitors from around the Island and the Lower Mainland. The dancers included a few who have com-peted at the World level and that was nice for the locals to get a
taste of their abilities. Continuing with
her improved steps and getting consistent results is Katelyn Schulz, who had 4th place finishes in both the Pas de Basque and the Swords. Schulz also came in with a 5th in the Pas de Basque and Highcuts in the primary aged group. Competing in their first ever event were the McLean trip-lets Jillian, Heather and Molly. Jillian achieved an incredible 5th place finish for her Fling in the beginner under 8 group. In the same group Kaylee Dewar who was also in her first competi-tion and she achieved
a 4th place in the Swords. These are out-standing results for both considering this was their first time performing before an audience.
Also in this group was Avery Osadczuk who danced her way to a bronze medal in the Lilt and a 6th in the Fling.
Davan McEachren had a strong showing in the beginner under 10 class with a 3rd in the Seann Truibhas and a 5th in the Lilt. Kendra Dewar in only her second competi-tion led all locals with a gold medal performance in the Swords, silver medal in the Seann Truibhas and she rounded out the day by winning a bronze in the Lilt while dancing in the beginner under 11 group.
Competing in the novice under 12 group were Haley Smith who won the Flora and had a 4th place finish in the Swords.
With this result Haley will now be moving up to the highly competitive Intermediate division. In the same group Grace Burgess had a 3rd and Emily Dreger with a 5th place both
coming in the Swords. Dancing in her first Novice 12 and over event was Julia Land-ers who won a bronze medal in the Seann Truibhas and a 6th in the Lilt. Dancing her way to 4th place finish in the Seann Truibhas was Breagh Kobayashi.
Another dancer hav-ing an outstanding day was Avery Foy, who won the Swords and achieved 3rd place finishes in both the Laddie and Johnnie. This coming in the very tough Intermedi-ate under 12 group.
Rounding out the local results was an incredible day had by Jasmine Biegler.
In her last competi-tion in the Intermedi-ate 12 and over group, Jasmine won the both the Johnnie and the Flora, came in 3rd in the Fling and rounded out her day with a 6th place finish in the Swords. Biegler will now be competing in the top Premier divi-sion.
On Sunday the girls travelled down to Courtenay to participate in their 40th annual event. Again turning in an exceptional series of performances was
Katelyn Schulz as she gained a second and two third place fin-ishes in the primary group. In the beginner 7 group, Avery Osadc-zuk enjoyed fantastic results with a 2nd, 3rd and 6th place finishes.
The positive results just keep piling up for Davan McEach-ren as she stepped her way to two 3rd’s and a 4th place in the beginner 8-9 group. Emma Schulz, Breagh Kobayashi and Emily Hill performed well enough to earn 6th pace finishes in their respective groups.
Haley Smith gar-nered a 5th place fin-ish in her first compe-tition while dancing at the Intermediate level.
Avery Foy once again came through with consistent results with a 5th place in the Seann Truibhas and an awesome 2nd place while performing her first ever Hornpipe.
The girls will con-tinue to work hard and look for more positive results when they travel to Port Alberni in early April.
A group of the locals is also starting to fund raise as they have a trip to Scotland planned for the sum-mer of 2012.

Owen HumphreysOwen Phillip “Bud” Humphreys passed away peacefully on March 10, 2011 at the Medicine Hat Regional Hospital after a long and interesting life. He was 84. Blessed with a generous personality and usually robust health, he was recently struck with brain cancer while wintering in Yuma, Arizona. He leaves to mourn him, his fi ve children, Jim (Rose) of Vancouver, John (Judy) of Medicine Hat, Anne of Miramichi, Joseph and Ted (Jessica) of Toronto, as well as sisters, Sally and Elaine of Peterborough; a brother, David, in Toronto; seven grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews and many others that will remember his outgoing personality, pleasant smile and remarkable life. His diverse career began in 1942 when he entered the Army during the Second World War at age 15. After that, he became a policeman, then a detective and later, a successful businessman. Throughout his life, he volunteered to help others. He was a Rotarian, Scout Master, and served on the executive of numerous charitable organizations and boards. He was also a long time member of the Canadian Legion and an Honorary Member of the American Legion. As a 32 Degree Mason, a very dedicated Shriner, and life member of the Royal Order of the Jesters and the Legion of Honour, he was later in life, presented with a medal “Visitante Distinguido” by the Mexican Government for his work with handicapped children. He touched many in his very full life and never lost his sense of curiosity. He travelled to India at age “80” and planned to go to the Philippines later this year. He enjoyed travel, hiking, fi shing, carpentry and also working with stained and slumped glass. A connoisseur of fi ne food, the occasional glass of wine, and always good coffee. His keen mind and warm humour will be missed by many. He led a complete life and he headed out on this, his last earthly journey, knowing this and wishing everyone peace and good cheer. At Owen’s request, there will be no formal service. He will be interred on Vancouver Island at a later date. His family thanks the many kindnesses of the nurses and doctors who supported and tended to his needs and ask that in lieu of fl owers, donations be made to the Hospice Palliative Care Society 640 Professional Building, 640 3rd Street SE, Medicine Hat, AB T1A 0H5, in support of the new Hospice. To e-mail an expression of sympathy, please direct it to: [email protected] subject heading: Owen Humphreys, or you may visit www.gonebutnotforgotten.ca and leave a message of condolence. Arrangements are by the PATTISON FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATORIUM 540 South Railway St. SE, Medicine Hat T1A 2V6. Please call 1-866-526-2214 for further information.

It is with deeply saddened hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Anton Lodal Christiansen.
Anton (Tony) will be greatly missed and always loved by his family and friends; daughter Yolanda (Steve), daughter Carmen (Keith), grandchildren Rachelle, Kayley, Diego, and Jonah. In Denmark, Anton will be dearly missed by his sister Kaja Madsen, and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his sister Sinne Larsen.
Born the 27 of September, 1938 in Faster, Denmark, to Kristian Magnus and Anna Matthea Christiansen, Anton was raised by his father and stepmother, Marie Christiansen on a farm along with his sisters,9Sinne and Kaja. At the age of 18 Anton came to Canada where he started work as a miner. He settled in Uranium City, Saskatchewan where he met Joan Gibson, who he married in 1966. They had two daughters, Yolanda and Carmen. In 1982 he moved his family to Campbell River, and worked at Westmin mine (NVI - Myra Falls) until he retired from mining and started Anton’s Lawn & Garden Service in 1990, which is where he fi nished his working life until 2005.
He was a great, gentle, strong and intelligent man who was an example of integrity, honesty, respect and steadfast values. His work ethic was inspirational. Throughout his life, he was also an athlete, world traveller, teacher and a dedicated grandfather. He loved spending time with his grandchildren. His great passions were gardening and nurturing the land he called his home, and travelling the world. In recent years Anton travelled to Cuba, China, India, Turkey, Italy, and cruised across the Atlantic to Brazil.We will always love and miss our Dad.
Anton Lodal Christiansen was 72 when he passed away on March 12, 2011. A service will be held at Bethany’s Lutheran Church, Friday, March 18, 2011, at 1pm. In lieu of fl owers, donations may be made to World Vision in memory of Anton Christiansen.

The Museum at Campbell River will present another series of Evening Dialogues.
This popular series creates a public forum that encour-ages healthy debate on issues both global in scope and relevant locally. Everyone is encouraged to par-ticipate, share and exchange ideas.
The Series kicks off on Thursday, March 24, from 6:30-8:30 p.m., with the topic What Defines Morality in Canada? Given the
diversity of beliefs and cultural behavior in Canada, is it pos-sible to define a com-mon national moral-ity?
If so, then what is moral behavior in a pluralistic society? Then on Thursday, April 7, from 6:30-8:30 p.m., the series con-tinues with the topic What is Canadian Culture?
The debate on whether there is a distinct Canadian culture and identity has sputtered on since
the 1950’s. But what are aspects of our national identity that we can define now in 2011 that may point us to understanding our-selves as a collective of peoples?
Both of these Dialogues will be hosted by Michael McIvor. McIvor has extensive experience working internation-ally as a journalist and for numerous NGO’s. During his career with the CBC, he was a Washington correspondent, Mos-
cow Bureau Chief and Senior European Cor-respondent.
Finally on April 14, from 6:30-8:30 p.m., the topic of literature will be addressed.
Guest host Patricia Robertson, currently the Haig-Brown Writer in Residence, will guide a discus-sion around the theme of Changing the World by Changing Our Sto-ries.
Can stories play a role in the way we see the world? And if so, what stories are cur-
rently shaping how we perceive society?
Robertson has published two col-lections of short stories, The Goldfish Dancer: Stories and Novellas and City of Orphans, and her stories, poems, essays, and articles have appeared widely in Canadian literary magazines and news-papers.

Fun with Gilbert and Sullivan
Shoreline Musical Theatre is recruiting volunteers to help with their upcoming production, “An Evening of Fun with Gilbert and Sullivan”, which will be performed in the Tidemark on April 9.
Local performers will be featured in a selection of classic Gilbert and Sullivan
musical numbers. The production is a fundraiser to help mount next year’s production – HMS Pinafore is under consideration.
Volunteers are needed in a variety of areas such as hair and makeup, handing out tickets and programs (in costume), selling raffle and 50/50 tickets (also in costume), setting up the program, and setting out food.
If you are able to help or need more information, please contact Jacquie Gordon at 250-287-
7475. Some of pieces
being rehearsed are: ‘As Some Day It May Happen’ from the Mikado, featuring Brian Down; ‘I’m Called Little Buttercup’ from HMS Pinafore, featuring Doris Wagner; and ‘Oh, Is There Not One Maiden Breast?” from the Pirates of Penzance, featuring Victor Jordan.
Appetizers and drinks will be served before the show, and reception and desserts afterwards – all included in the $25
ticket price. Tickets are
available at the Tidemark.

The Campbell River Arts Council is present-ing a series of one-day animation workshops for youth.
If your child is between the ages of 8 and 12 years old and enjoys being creative using a laptop com-puter, this is a work-shop they will enjoy. Two workshops will be held: Level One will take place on Saturday, March 26, from 1-4 p.m.; Level Two will take place on Sunday, March 27, from 1-4 p.m.
Taught by anima-tion instructor, Fred Jiles MSC, this series
of workshops has the endorsement of many staff and administra-tors within Campbell R ive r e l e m e n t a r y schools. Jiles, an edu-cator from Washington State, USA, has been teaching news report-ing and animation pro-duction skills to youth since 1983.
“This is a media project I really enjoy,” says Jiles. “Observing these young people being entertained as they develop critical thinking skills, using today’s technology and a medium they engage with is exciting. I
chuckle to myself as I watch them develop a story concept into a full-fledged finished animation.”
In his Level One Wo rk s h o p, yo u t h start by scripting out a story idea. Next, students create two-dimensional drawings to tell their story, add an audio track, special effects and their first animation is finished. These test animations usually run from 30 seconds to two minutes depending on storyline and plot.
The Level Two Work-shop allows young ani-
mators to advance to a three-dimensional medium.
“Clay seems to be the most popular mate-rial, but Legos work also. I have seen some very creative charac-ters created by some very talented young people,” Jiles says. “I am pleased to be able to provide all of the computers, software, and cameras needed as part of this animation workshop.”
The cost is $40 per student per level. To insure that all partici-pants involved in the program will have a
sufficient opportunity to explore their ani-mation skills, only 12 young people will be allowed to enroll per workshop. Students work in production teams of two youth per laptop computer. Parents are responsi-ble for transportation to and from the Arts Council (currently 2111 South Island Highway in Willow Point) and a signed permission slip. Prompt pick-up at the end of each workshop will be much appreci-ated. To register, call the Arts Council at 923-0213.
Animation workshop an avenue for creativity

Musica Intima, a chamber
music series for clas-sical aficionados in Campbell River, concludes on Sunday, March 20 with cellist Ariel Barnes and pia-nist Sarah Hagen.
Their programme includes sonatas of Rachmaninoff and Beethoven which dis-play the breathtaking fusion of cello and piano. The concert takes place at 2 pm at Trinity Presbyterian Church.
Widely regarded as one of Canada’s finest cellists, Barnes enjoys a diverse career as a soloist, chamber and orchestral musician.
Over the past sev-eral years, he has performed to great acclaim in Canada, the United States, and Mexico, with crit-ics raving about his “luscious tone” (Van-couver Sun) and “daz-zling technique” (The Live Music Report, Toronto).
Along with col-leagues Mary Sokol-Brown and Andrew Brown, Barnes is a member
of Trio Accord, a Vancouver-based string trio which has been praised for its “enchanting,” “exhilarating,” and “extremely moving” performances.
Released in the fall of 2008, Trio Accord’s debut recording on Skylark Records of J.S. Bach’s Goldberg Variations was nomi-nated for Classical Recording of the Year at the Western Cana-dian Music Awards.
Barnes is currently Principal Cello of the Vancouver Opera Orchestra, and a mem-ber of both The Turn-ing Point Ensemble and the National Broadcast Orchestra.
His recordings can be heard on ATMA Classique, Skylark Records, Universal Music, 604 Records, Centrediscs, CBC Radio (including Espace Musique), CBC Television, Integrity Music, Za Discs, Dis-ney Films, and Funk-topus Records.
“A rarity of musical excellence, technical ease and tonal purity,” Hagen is a sought-after soloist and
chamber musician, performing in con-certs across Canada as well as in the United States, France, Italy, Germany and Sweden. Steadily rising on the Canadian classi-cal music scene, her
recent solo appear-ance with the Victoria

Local curler Morgan Beech recently com-peted at the Provinicial Juvenile Curling Play-downs in Lake Cowichan, March 3-6.
This was the fourth time at this level of competition in the past five years. This time around Beech played with the Rice rink based of Nanaimo, which included skip, Shaelyn Rice, third, Marika Van Osch and lead Talya Jesperson. In the previous years, Beech played with teams based out of Victoria, Duncan and Campbell River.
Beech came home with a bronze medal from the 2008 BC Winter games, along with local curler Nicole McCurrie, so the silver medal this year is her top achievement in the sport at this point.
The competition was tough this year, but the games were well played. The Rice rink lost out 4-1 to the Brown rink from Kamloops, who are last years Gold winners and who also curl at the Junior Level.
Beech thanked the Naniamo Curling Club for all their support and the City of Campbell River for donating the pins that were passed out at the event.
Morgan beech competed with the Rice rink based out of Nanaimo and won silver in the Provincial Juvenile Curling Play-downs.

We keep getting mixed messages about what
to do with our milk cartons and jugs.
- What is the best option for recycling them?
AskA WasteReductionEducator
You can rinse out your milk cartons and jugs and recycle them at the Encorp Return-It depot. You won't receive deposit money for them but by doing this you will save an incredible amount of space in your garbage can and help keep these cartons out of the landfill. Plastic milk jugs are also accepted in curbside recycling collection programs.
