With the city’s dump slated to close within two years, some resi-dents fear a new landfill could be located near the closed Elk Falls mill.

“Everyone in Campbell River needs to know about this,” says Corinne Matheson.

Matheson operates Mystic Woods Landscape Design located at the north end of the city.

She and several other Gordon Road residents are trying to put the kibosh on any proposal to turn the former paper mill, and nearby ash dump, into a new municipal landfill site.

“Who would want to come here with a major dump on the ocean?” she asks. “The big scary picture is barge loads of Vancouver’s gar-bage being brought up here.”

Matheson, along with several other supporters, plan to voice their opposition at Thursday’s meeting of the regional district’s Solid Waste Management Plan Advisory Committee. The meet-ing takes place at the Maritime Heritage Centre at 1 p.m.

closed the Elk Falls mill last July. In April 2010, Campbell River Mayor Charlie Corn-field asked regional district staff to prepare a report on, “the poten-tial of processing solid waste at the Campbell River pulp mill.”

The report for the solid waste commit-tee is being prepared by a consultant and is expected to be done in May.

During a phone inter-view on Monday, Corn-field says the commit-tee has to look at all its

options, because time is running out for the city’s landfill.

“We haven’t made any decisions, but we have a responsibility to check out all the options,” he says. “We don’t know what’s in Catalyst’s landfill, but we have to do our due diligence…Does it have merit? I don’t know.”

The committee is also researching methods of converting garbage into energy. As the mayor puts it, waste needs to be viewed as a resource rather than trash that is simply buried.

“We have to look at it as an opportunity,” he says.

On Monday, Catalyst Paper announced it had received $13.3 mil-lion in federal funding – through the Pulp and Paper Green Transfor-mation Program – to burn wood waste, and convert that energy into electricity, at its mill in Powell River.

“…our Powell River mill becomes one of the most logical and low-impact places in Canada to generate green energy from biomass,” Bob Lind-strom, Catalyst’s vice-

president of energy and information tech-nology, says in a news release.

According to Lyn Brown, Catalyst’s vice-president of corporate relations, there’s no such plan in place for the Elk Falls mill, but the company is open to, “alternate indus-trial applications.”

Youth are important to the promotion of harmony among dif-ferent races, as well as to fight against racism in B.C., says the Camp-bell River Multicul-tural and Immigrant Services Association.

“Last year when I was watching the Olympic Games on TV, I was really impressed by how youth volun-teers from different backgrounds could work together so well, so happily. After a year, the government is going to give more funding to youth to help increase inclusion and decrease racism. This action is really encouraging in 2011,” says Vienna Yeung, the project coordina-

tor of Campbell River Multicultural and Immigrant Services Association.

Executive director Rachel Blaney says, “I always see youth com-ing to our organization to provide help. They are creative; they have dreams; they have a kind heart. But the most important thing is, they express them-selves directly, they tell the truth. Youth really have the courage to say what they think. Sometimes they have very great ideas and definitely need more support from the com-munity to make their ideas work.”

Yeung says, “They are eager to fight against racism and bullying.

One time I saw some of them help the Youth 4 Diversity coordinator, Moss Dance, to pre-pare materials for the Human Rights Day. They were so energetic and excited to help. And from time to time, some ideas popped up in their mind, they would say it loudly. I remembered I had the same energy like them when I was in high school. But I gradually lost this energy when I did not get the recogni-tion from anyone. The youth give me hope again.”

Everyone knows “Youth are our future pil lars,” but how many people can truly understand the deep meaning of this sen-

tence, Blaney asks? If we don’t provide them support; if we don’t help them build

a strong base, how can they become strong and useful pillars in the future? How can

they have the power to fight against racism?

Join Youth 4 Diver-sity at the 15th annual

Walk Away from Rac-ism on Saturday, 10:30 a.m. at the Community Centre.

Youth lead the fight against racism

Campbell River youth will be front and centre at the annual Walk Away from Racism.

In an article titled Proposed hir-ing freeze shot down, published in the Mirror Feb. 25 it was reported that councillors Claire Moglove, Andy Adams and Ryan Mennie

opposed a second amended motion when in fact it was councillors Mennie, Moglove, Roy Grant and Mayor Charlie Cornfield who opposed the motion.

Celebrating the majesty of raptors

The Mountainaire Avian Rescue Society (MARS) held its annual Eaglefest at the Maritime Heritage Centre on Saturday. Displays and demonstrations informed the public about the raptors that populate our skies and raised funds for the widlife rehabilitation work that MARS does. Clockwise from above: Reg West-cott talked to participants about the society and this red-tailed hawk he brought along (also the next pic-ture); Mindy Dick talks about Adonis the peregrine falcon she brought from Pacific Northwest Raptors in Duncan; MARS Moments columnist (published in the Campbell River Mirror) Sandy Fairfield was on hand to talk to people about birds; MARS volunteer Sarah McNulty (left) shows Jennica Sauer the feet of differ-ent raptors; and Tina Hein of Pacific Northwest Rap-tors helps Manwe the eagle settle onto a perch.

The Campbell River Indian Band member-ship held nl election for Chief and Council on Feb. 18.

The election, held at the newly renovated Thunderbird Hall, was the first held under the new Election Code ratified by the Band mem-bership in 2010.

Chief Robert Pollard was re-elected to another term and six Councillors, Curtis Wil-son, Marian Atkinson, Tony Roberts Jr, Jason Price, Dean Drake and Dana Roberts were cho-sen by the membership.

A jewelry store thief who made his getaway in an awaiting taxi cab was arrested hours later by police.

According to RCMP, the suspect entered Thongs Jewelers in the Elm Street Plaza, last Thursday just before 10 a.m.

It is believed he stole several necklaces and then fled the store. An employee tried to tackle him, but he still managed to escape and made off in a cab.

The culprit jumped out of the cab in Camp-bellton and fled again, this time on foot. How-ever, around 8 p.m., officers arrested a 31-year-old suspect who

is known to police.The man remains in

custody, but has not been formally charged. His name was not released.

Meanwhile, on Satur-day, around 1:45 p.m., police were called to the downtown Dairy Queen after a female stole gift cards and change from a dona-tion jar. An employee followed her which helped police make a quick arrest. The donation funds were returned to the restau-rant.

Mounties have also released more infor-mation regarding the thief who robbed the Willows Beer and Wine

store on Rockland Road, on the night of Feb. 22. The culprit is described as a Cauca-sian male in his mid-30s. He’s about 5’10” with short brown hair and bushy eyebrows.

And on Feb. 21, police received a report of a robbery, which had occurred on Feb. 19.

The male victim told police he had left the Riptide Liquor Store and was knocked unconscious by an unknown suspect . He awoke to find his backpack and money missing. This investi-gation is ongoing and anyone with informa-tion is asked to contact RCMP.

More than 70 Wal-Mart employees and shoppers had to be evacuated from the store Sunday after-noon.

After Wal-Mart’s smoke alarms sounded around 3:24 p.m., every-one inside the build-ing was ushered out to the parking lot, with employees on one side and customers on the other.

Some shoppers took shelter from the rain in their vehicles while others waited just out-side the doors.

Dean Spry, fire chief, said sprinklers over the garden centre went off which triggered the smoke alarms.

“Anytime a build-ing’s sprinkler system is tied into the fire alarms and there is a water flow the alarms will go off because the water indicates that something’s wrong,”

said Spry.Spry figures it was

about 20 minutes to half an hour before Wal-Mart staff – and then customers – was allowed back in the building.

“Fire fighters had to get the alarm system working again and they had to drain the sprinkler system,” said Spry.

The sprinkler system was activated when a valve froze and then cracked, said Spry.

Cracked valve sets off sprinklers, fire alarm and forces Wal-Mart evacuation

North Island Col-lege’s Employment Resource Centre is hosting two career fairs to bring together local employers and NIC students seeking employment.

On March 18 in the Comox Valley and March 25 in Campbell River, employers rep-resenting local organi-zations and industries will have the opportu-nity to meet, mingle and even interview NIC students.

T r e e n a N a d o n , North Island College’s Employment Service Advisor, explains this event will afford local employers the opportu-nity to speak with our students first, before they consider other options. “Employers

who attend the Career Fair will have an inside track to our current talent,” states Nadon. “Between the two cam-puses NIC is home to almost 3,000 students enrolled in credit pro-grams, many of whom are about ready to enter the workforce.”

Nadon is anticipat-ing a very good turn-out from students and alumni, as students are now turning their attention to their job search and what career opportunities are available to them. Nadon notes, “Most are looking to remain in the area, which is a win-win-win for local employers, our students and our com-munities in general. Employing these stu-

dents locally builds and strengthens our communities for the future.”

The Campbell River Career Fair will be located in the Campus Cafeteria.

After months of delays, the pool at Strathcona Gardens Recreation Complex opened for business Monday.

Swimming lessons, chronic disease man-agement programs and Killer Whales Swim Club practices were all underway two days ago but drop-in swimming had to be cancelled because only one change room was available.

“We could only fit so many people because we only had one change room complete and we made it a fam-ily change room,” said Susan Bullock, man-ager of programs at

Strathcona Gardens.But yesterday the

pool opened its doors at 6 a.m. and it was business as usual, with a second change room up and running. Bullock said the family change room, which has been enlarged, will be finished in a couple of weeks.

All change rooms now have three private shower stalls and one also houses a toilet to make them more acces-sible to those with physical disabilities.

“Those who are dis-abled don’t have to use the family change room anymore,” said Bullock who added the change rooms also have lifts to help those in wheelchairs go from their chair to the toi-

let or from an aquatic medical bed back to their wheelchair.

There is new tiling on the pool deck and new signage bearing pool rules. The bulk of the work was done under-neath the pool, to fix drainage issues.

Construction began last summer but unex-p e c t e d s t r u c t u r a l issues kept delaying the re-opening of the pool.

Originally the pool was slated to be ready to go by the end of December but that was changed to late Janu-ary and then, finally, late February.

A grand opening is scheduled for March 12 with free swimming and use of the weight room.

Lengths are open from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. that day and there are two different everyone welcome sessions, from 12:30-4 p.m. and then again from 5-9 p.m. The first session will have games, water balloons and the big inflatable snake will be brought out.

Okay! Everybody back into the pool

The Strathcona Gardens Pool was open Monday to its first users in months after long-delayed renovations were completed.

EDITOR: Alistair [email protected]

With the Liberal leadership race decided and Christy Clark set to take over as B.C.’s next premier, the atten-

tion now shifts to the NDP. Or does it?

For the New Democrats, who select their new leader in April, Clark’s win Saturday is likely the worst-case sce-nario. Despite her record during her previous incarnation as a Campbell-era Liberal MLA, much of which she

spent as either a senior cabinet minister or deputy pre-mier for some of the government’s most vicious cuts,

Clark was in fact the candidate furthest removed from the current regime. She’s been out of politics since the 2005 election and earned just one current MLA’s sup-port for her successful leadership bid. Clark’s image has softened considerably in her time on the sidelines, while her emphasis on ‘family first’, job creation and tackling poverty also cut deep into typical NDP terri-tory.

While Clark gets to work assembling her cabinet team and addressing the issues (and possibly even getting elected), the NDP will be effectively stuck in neutral (just as the Liberal government was in recent months)

as the party’s leadership hopefuls hash out their own positions and attempt to garner both in-party and general populace support. While the New Democrats will undoubtedly use Clark’s earlier political record as fodder for attacks on her leadership, the party is at a distinct disadvantage as a ship being guided by a place-holder captain until a new Opposition leader is chosen in two months. While the NDP will attempt to use those weeks to generate new interest through its leadership contest, it’ll be in tough getting public attention away from an already established new premier.

PUBLISHER: Zena [email protected]

Hiring

I was hardly alone in my thoughts when I read about the four American pleasure boaters killed by pirates off the coast of Somalia last week.

“What were they thinking?” I asked myself.

The story read like one of Wilbur Smith’s African adventure novel which always seem to end in death and destruction. Mind you, Smith’s stories are set between the 17th and 19th centuries.

But here were four knowledgeable Americans, all well-adept at sailing oceans, and yet they chose to ignore every warning and cruised through one of the world’s most dangerous areas. And it cost them their lives.

Just days after their demise, seven Danish sailors, including three chil-

dren, were captured by Somali pirates and now we await to hear of their fate. There are apparently as many as 800 people being held hostage by the pirates who demand ransoms rang-ing upwards from $1 million.

Are people that stupid, naive or do they just choose to wear mental blind-ers? I don’t know and don’t intend to find out by cruising the African coast in a tin boat snapping photos and requesting interviews with the pirate overlords.

However, it did get me thinking about our own coast.

I’ve been told by many mariners that the local waters surrounding the Discovery Islands and Desolation Sound are among the most beauti-ful cruising areas anywhere on this

planet. And I would have to agree after going on several boating and kayaking adventures over the years.

But what really got me thinking was our own past. Or, more precisely, the past of the aboriginal people who’ve made this coast their home for thou-sands of years.

I once had the pleasure of visit-ing Village Island, perched at the entrance of Knight Inlet. The First Nations people call it Mamalilaculla. It’s been abandoned for years, but it was once a thriving winter village used by the native people.

As the stories go, they were also quite adept at raiding the northern villages near Bella Bella and Bella Coola. Raiding parties from Mamali-laculla would slaughter the warriors

and then bring home slaves to do the heavy labour. These slaves, I was told, had the soles of their feet slashed to prevent them from running away.

And, just to be sure, once the wounds mostly healed, they were slashed again to further hobble the escape-minded slave.

The Haida warriors were particu-larly feared and routinely raided villages right down to the Strait of Georgia, as it is now known.

As for the people of Mamalilaculla, they too were eventually slaughtered by warriors of the northern villages. The point is, as long as we’ve had boats, we’ve also had pirates or war-ring tribes. And the message to vis-iting sailors should always be: Steer clear of the danger.

The following is in regard to the recent article “Pro-posed hiring freeze shot down” by Kristen Douglas in the Feb. 25 edition of the Campbell River Mirror.

For the record I would like to thank Councillor Ziggy Stewart for bringing forward a motion to implement a hiring freeze at City Hall. He may not have been suc-cessful in gaining support for this motion from his fel-low Councillors; but, he has been successful in increas-ing the awareness that a major revenue problem exists in the City’s budget. Hard decisions are going to have to made by council to compensate for $1.4 million of lost tax revenue from Catalyst along with the continued operating cost increases in replacing infrastructure and maintaining existing services. If the city’s admin-istration is unwilling to present budget cost reduction options to council, then council needs to take the bull by the horns and freeze operating cost increases before we really get in trouble. As council is no doubt aware, the majority of the citizens of Campbell River are not in support of further tax increases, especially under the present fragile economic environment. Council simply needs to focus on maintaining existing ser-vices/infrastructure as best they can. On a very posi-tive side, I do believe that council is actively searching for alternate revenue sources that may help to decrease some of the city’s cost increases; but, please ….. not another Cruise Ship Terminal. One question I do have for council is: are we actually making any additional money from our runway investment at the airport? At least to offset the capital cost?

This letter is in response to the article that appeared in your Feb. 23, edition under the headline, Minis-try Rejects Arsenic Increase Claim, writ-ten by, Kristen Doug-las.

The article describes a recent letter report-edly sent to our city council by newly appointed Provincial Minister of Environ-ment, Murray Coell. The lead sentence for the article states, “Quinsam Coal mine operations have not increased arsenic lev-els in nearby Long Lake says the Ministry of Environment.”

However, in the fourth column of the article Douglas quotes Minister Coell as stat-ing, “The ministry acknowledges that data indicate Long Lake sediment arsenic levels have increased from those that existed prior to the mine.”

This quote seems very inconsistent with both the article’s head-line and the author’s lead sentence.

If it is accurate it may represent a posi-tive shift on the part of the provincial govern-ment.

I have not seen Minis-ter Coell’s letter and so I am somewhat reticent to comment on state-ments attributed to him. If however, Minis-ter Coell has indicated

that arsenic concen-trations in the water of Long Lake comply with B C Guidelines, and there is no obvi-ous problem with fish health, I would say that he is correct on both counts.

However, it would be very inappropri-ate of him to try and reframe the issue as one of present arse-nic concentrations in the water or present fish health within the lake. The problem is with the sediment in the bottom of the lake and what it will mean for our river system in the future.

Re a d e r s s h o u l d be aware that in an attempt to protect our environment, the B C government has set up contamination guide-lines for many specific aspects of it.

We have BC Water Guidelines for Fresh Water Aquatic Life, BC Water Guidelines for Drinking Water, BC Sediment Guide-lines for Fresh Water Aquatic life, etc. These contamination guide-lines have been care-fully worked out using the best available research. They all serve an indispensable purpose.

It is extremely inap-propriate to try and abort these guidelines by playing a game of revolving chairs as some have done in the

past. When there is a

problem with toxic substances in the sedi-ment exceeding the B.C. sediment guide-lines, change the sub-ject to water quality. When there is a prob-lem with sulphate con-centrations exceed-ing the guidelines for fresh water aquatic life, change the subject to drinking water.

The difficulty we are facing is that sedi-ment samples from Long Lake contain arsenic concentra-tions that exceed the British Columbia Sed-iment Guidelines for Fresh Water Aquatic Life by as much as 30 times in places close to the mine. Sediment in water bodies is extremely important as it forms the basis for the food web.

Some problems first demonstrate them-selves in the sediment and then move to the water column.

The Ministry of Environment is aware of these factors. That is why they have estab-lished specific guide-lines for sediment. The arsenic problem that devastated the drinking water in Bangladesh in the 1990s started in the sediment.

That is one of the reasons the three sci-entists from the Cana-dian Water Network are involved. Their

expectation is that the arsenic in the sedi-ment of Long Lake will eventually enter the water column as the lake ages.

When it does, the effects in Long Lake and all areas down-stream will be most unpleasant.

The Canadian Water Network scientists haven’t put a time line on this as their inves-tigative efforts are continuing. They have made it very clear to all parties involved that adding to the arsenic deposit is not prudent. They believe that the proposed mine expan-sion as it stood in April of 2 010, would do exactly that.

I am not surprised that the Canadian Water Network scien-tists are of the opinion that the majority of arsenic in Long Lake sediment is the result of mining operations by Quinsam Coal.

If Environment Min-ister Coell has doubts about this I would refer him to his own minis-try’s 2006 document, “An Evaluation of Sediment Quality and Invertebrate Benthic Communities of Long and Middle Quinsam Lakes With Regard to Local Coal Mining Activity,” authored by Dr. Rick Nordin of the University of Victoria, and a 2008 study by Quinsam Coal’s con-

sulting firm Golder Associates titled, “Pre-liminary Sediment Quality Assessment for Long Lake Quin-sam Mine.”

While these two ear-lier documents are not as definitive as the more recent Canadian Water Network reports they both point toward the mine as the source of the contamination.

If Mr. Coell cannot see how the sulfur con-tent of the coal in the new seam to be mined with Quinsam Coal’s expansion (7 South #4 coal seam) is higher than that presently being mined ( 5 South) others, including the company, can.

I refer him to page one, topic one of the Nov. 4, 2009 Quinsam Coal Environmental Technical Review Com-mittee Public Meeting Minutes where the company described its proposal.

The sulfur content of the coal is of envi-ronmental concer n because sulphates come from the sulfur in the coal.

According to the Canadian Water Net-work the sulphates are leading to the arse-nic concentrations in the sediment of Long Lake.

Courtenay city coun-cillor Ronna-Rae Leon-ard, the newly-nomi-nated NDP candidate for Vancouver Island North, says the HST, pensions for seniors, and protecting the coast from oil spills will be key issues in the next federal elec-tion campaign.

“By working together we will win this rid-ing back for the New Democrats. People know they can count us to stand up for our communities in Par-liament,” Leonard said after winning the NDP nomination on

Sunday. “I will work to make

life more affordable for people, generate jobs, and protect the wild salmon that are so much a part of our culture,” she said. “I will work to strengthen public health care by training and hir-ing more doctors and nurses and investing in home support for our seniors.”

“That’s the kind of leadership I am offering to the people of Vancouver Island North, and that’s the kind of leadership Jack Layton is offering

to Canadians across the country.”

Leonard said people are disappointed with the Harper Conserva-tives and are looking to Jack Layton and the New Democrats as a positive alternative.

“People here were upset when John Dun-can, along with every other Conservative and Liberal MP, voted to impose the HST on British Columbians,” she said. “This is the most blatant example of how the Conserva-tives have turned their backs on the people of B.C.”

“That’s why I am so proud that every single New Democrat MP stood up and voted against the HST.”

Leonard said she is also proud that the New Democrats have lead the way in Par-liament on issues like improving pensions, banning oil tankers on the north coast, and fighting climate change.

T h e n o m i n at i o n results were announced at a Sunday meeting at the Native Sons Hall in Courtenay. Most NDP members voted by mail ballot, but many

others voted in person at the meeting. Leon-ard won on the first ballot, edging out Port McNeill Town Coun-cillor Shirley Ackland and former Courtenay City Councillor Erik Eriksson.

Guest speaker Peter Julian, MP for Burn-aby-New Westminster, said Leonard will join a proud tradition of New Democrat MPs from Vancouver Island North. He paid special tribute to Catherine Bell, who he described as one of the hardest-working MPs in Parlia-ment during her term from 2006 and 2008.

“I am very excited about the nomination of Ronna-Rae Leonard, “said Julian. “She will make a great addition to Jack Layton’s team and I look forward to working with her to make a real difference

for British Columbi-ans.”

Julian said the fed-eral NDP is poised to win more seats in B.C. than ever before. “In BC it is a contest between the Harper Conservatives and the Layton New Demo-crats,” he said. “Peo-ple know that we’re the only alternative to stop a Stephen Harper majority.”

A federal election is widely expected this spring. Vancouver Island North is tradi-tionally a close-fought race between the Con-servatives and New Democrats.

Disappointed by council’s decision to shelve an anti-idling policy for one year, the Environmental Advi-sory Commission is giving it another shot.

After a city staff report, outlining an anti-idling implemen-tation strategy, was deferred for a year by councillors at a Feb. 1 council meeting, the commission went to work re-drafting the policy.

“We were urged to bring forward a report without a bylaw so we’re bringing it for-ward again this time with just an anti-idling campaign which we thought would be more palatable to council at this time,” said Peter Woods, chair of the Environmental Advi-sory Commission.

The original pack-aged created by the c o m m i s s i o n a n d brought to council last November, asked coun-cil to draft an anti-idling bylaw after first running a media cam-paign to raise aware-ness.

Woods said this time the education campaign (which was before council Tuesday night after the Mirror went to press) would last for an undeter-mined amount of time and would not lead up to a bylaw.

It also gives the city the chance to build on School District 72’s anti-idling initiative which is focusing on implementing an idle-

free zone for all schools through the Hub for Action on School Transportation Emis-sions campaign.

As part of the educa-tion campaign, Woods said air quality in rela-tion to idling could be incorporated into the city’s already existing woodstove exchange program, Earth Week celebrations in April and during Bike to Work Week in May and June including shared messaging for Clean Air Day.

Woods said costs associated with an anti-idling education campaign would be minimal. The school district has offered the city a number of free Idle-Free signs for city facility parking lots and limited quantities of Idle-Free decals.

Wo o d s s a i d t h e commission was dis-appointed council deferred the anti-idling policy and decided to try again after Mayor Charlie Cornfield and Councillor Roy Grant suggested Woods sub-mit a new report that did not have a bylaw attached.

He said the commis-sion came to a con-sensus last year that an anti-idling policy would be in the best interest of Campbell River residents.

Woods noted idling contributes to local pollution and the pro-duction of greenhouse gases and research shows localized air pollution negatively impacts the respira-tory systems of chil-dren and seniors.

Anti-idling advocates still all revved up

A project aimed at predicting salmon returns received some financial support from council last week.

The BC Centre for Aquatic Health Sci-ences’ Discovery Pas-sage Plankton project is now in its fifth and final year but as a small, not for profit, the organization relies on funding from exter-nal sources.

T he ci ty, which donated $1,000 to the project last year, agreed to match that again for 2011.

“We really are a won-derful resource to have, our research facility is working on the health of our community,” said Paula Galloway, marketing and com-munication manager of the organization.

Mayor Charlie Corn-field agreed.

“I think the proj-ect you’re working on is very significant for the community of Campbell River. I think it could go a long ways into the future in terms of enhancement of our fishery,” said Cornfield.

The plankton project looks at what food is available to juvenile coho from late Febru-ary to late June and

what changes.“Over time hatcher-

ies along the coast saw a huge decrease in coho returns – less than one per cent returns,” said Galloway. “We felt that changing ocean condi-tions were changing the food available to the fish and so they were not making it once they were out in the open environ-ment.”

This year, return data will be available for the first time in the project.

The data will allow the project’s partners to assess the match-ing food availability to release times for juve-nile coho and whether food availability in the near shore environ-ment can be used as a predictive tool for returns and thereby enhance the ability of government agencies to make decisions that support fish popula-tions.

“While the data col-lected has already been useful to Quinsam Hatchery, trends can-not be fully assessed without the addition of return data in this final study year,” said Elan Downey, research assistant for BC Centre for Aquatic Health Sci-ences.

Galloway adds that the hope is that by fill-

ing in the return data it will allow the organi-zation to use zooplank-ton monitoring as a tool to predict salmon returns.

“The goals for the project are to build open the hypothesis that when more food is available, the fish will eat more and then we will see higher returns,” said Gallo-way.

The 12th Annual BC Aqua-culture Achievement Awards were announced in Campbell River on Saturday.

The annual event is hosted by the Positive Aquaculture Awareness (PAA), a grassroots group of industry suppliers and workers with a simple goal – to promote positive awareness of the aquaculture industry.

“It was wonderful to attend the sold out event. Congratula-tions to all of the nominees and award winners for their com-mitment, efforts and progress in the industry,” said Campbell River Mayor Charlie Cornfield. “It is very refreshing to see the

large number of young people involved in aquaculture cover-ing everything from environ-mental to management and operations.

“We wish all of the busi-nesses involved the best of suc-cess in the coming year.”

Award presentations were made to the following individ-uals and organizations:

■ Business of the Year – Sablefish Canada.

■ Environment – Mia Parker, Grieg Seafoods BC Ltd.

■ Leadership – Barb Cannon, Creative Salmon Company.

■ Long Term Recognition – Susan Ovenden, Mainstream Canada.

■ Outstanding EmployeePerformance – German Cam-pos, Mainstream Canada.

■ Outstanding Managers Performance – Kelly Osborne,Marine Harvest Canada.

■ Rookie of the Year – Col-leen Dane, BC Salmon Farm-ers Association

“The Aquaculture industryis a major employer in Camp-bell River because of the dili-gent people involved,” saysRivercorp’s Interim CEO, Lor-rie David Bewza.

“We are proud of the com-munity’s efforts, enablingour region to be the Centre ofAquaculture on the West Coastof BC.”

Drop yard waste off

A yard waste drop-off centre could open as early as this month.

Ron Neufeld, the city’s manager of operations, said last week that he suspects the new service could be up and running by the end of March. Neufeld said the city is currently finalizing an access agreement with the Wei Wai Kai First Nation because the centre will be located on their lands, about one kilometre from the Shell gas station. The drop-off centre will be manned and likely open Tuesday to Saturday from 9 a.m.-5 p.m., year round and will serve as a transfer station to the Comox processing facility.

T h e Va n c o u v e r Island Real Estate Board (VIREB) held its 60th Anniversay Cel-ebration and Realtor Awards at the Vancou-ver Island Conference Centre in Nanaimo on February 24th with pre-sentation of the Real-tors Care Awards, Real-tor of the Year Award and announcement of a legacy endow-ment fund to Vancou-ver Island University (VIU) and North Island Colledge (NIC).

The event concluded at the AGM on Feb. 25 with the installation of

its 2011 Board of Direc-tors.

Initial communi-cations began with VIU, NIC and the Real Estate Foundation of B.C. (REFBC) each hav-ing the key component of a matching fund program. VIU and NIC serve the entire catch-ment area of VIREB and offer extensive trades training pro-grams, in addition to traditional academic fields of study.

The REFBC is a non-profit organization formed in 1985 and it is dedicated to the

respectful and wise use of land through-out B.C. This organiza-tion is also committed to providing education opportunities in the form of grants to stu-dents throughout B.C.

By providing fund-ing for Island students to study at either VIU or NIC these students could stay connected to their families, friends and communities. The collaboration between VIREB and REFBC established a $60,000 Endowment Fund at both VIU and NIC.

Each zone within VIREB has a commit-

ment to assisting high school students seek-ing post-secondary edu-cation. Now with the support of the REFBC and the Foundations of VIU and NIC, VIREB has created a perma-nent endowment fund that VIREB, members or future alumni may augment and grow.

“When we began planning for the cel-ebration of VIREB’s 60th anniversary a number of alternatives for a legacy project pre-sented themselves. The challenge for our com-mittee and the direc-tors was to find una-

nimity. Not until an education endowment was suggested did our

focus gel.” said Marty Douglas, Chair 60th Anniversary Commit-tee.

The committee then set to work creating a project that would give back to the communi-ties that had served them so well over the years.

Educating young and eager students would provide benefits for entire families and communities.

It was empowering on both an individual level and the collec-tive level. The Direc-tors forged ahead to make the connections needed to create a last-ing legacy.

Other highlights of the two day event include:

■ 2011 VIREB Board of Directors elected:

President – Jim Stewart, Coast Realty G r o u p, N a n a i m o ; President Elect – Guy B e z e a u , R E / M A X Ocean Pointe, Ladys-mith; Past President – Cliff Moberg, Sut-

ton Group West Coast Realty, Duncan

HEROES – The community for their overwhelming support of The Second Chance Recovery House during the 2010 holiday season. The men had a wonderful Christmas thanks to your cash donations, as well as lovingly made handknitted toques, scarves and slippers to keep them warm during the cold winter days. Carefully wrapped presents, chocolates, homebaked goods, turkeys, gift cards and stockings and gift bags filled with treats made the men feel they weren’t alone at the special time of year and people were thinking of them as they are on their journey of recovery. May the new

year bring you all health and happiness. – The Second Chance Recovery House

HEROES – The Campbell River Bottle Depot and Return-It Center as well as Curt’s Tree Chipping for hosting our tree chipping fundraiser on Jan. 8. Also many thanks to those who delivered their trees to us and their donations. Another year has passed and without the generosity of our volunteers as well as the various businesses in the community we would not be able to carry on providing lunch on Saturday. Our numbers have grown considerably over the past six months and our free clothes closet continues to be a huge success. Be assured that any and all donations are well received by our clients. Thank you again. – United Church Outreach Program, the Saturday Soup Kitchen.

HEROES – The month of December brought with it many items donated to the C.R. Seniors’ Centre Society that enhanced the interior of our space.

Also, another hero surfaced in the personage of Ken Hall of Catalyst Mill, for the donation of tables and chairs that allowed the Seniors’ Centre to seat everyone attending our Christmas luncheon – it was wonderful to behold! We sincerely thank these community-minded heroes for their consideration of the C.R. Seniors’ Centre Society.

HEROES – On Sunday Jan. 2, our dog went missing in the woods by Robert’s Lake. We managed to get him back on Sunday January 9th after he spent a cold week in the woods. Words cannot adequately express how grateful we are to all the heroes who helped us successfully get Lyle back. We know of some of the heroes who helped us but there are others we may not know who came to help out of the goodness of

their hearts. Thank you to the entire staff of Storey Creek Trading Ltd. for their time and patience, Lorna and Walter from the Robert’s Lake Store, Steve Harding, Chris Francis, Ryan Stanyer, Leslie Kaardal and others from Search and Rescue, Campbell River SPCA, Coastland Vet Hospital, Janice Leach, Pat Brown Clayton, Al Mose and his crew at Robert’s Lake, Kimberly Dorrington (and Yanick) of Seriously Dogs, Karle Granlund, Susan and Richard Michael, Ken and Ruth Mackenzie, Gord Bennett, and Adam Siu whose keen eyesight spotted Lyle. Without the help of all these people plus others who we might not know or didn’t get their names, the story may not have had such a happy ending. One may say that this was a lot of work and effort spent on a dog, and certainly not a perfect dog, but this dog is a member of our family. Thank you again to all these heroes who helped make our family complete again. – The Higgins Family

ZERO – All the merchants who overprice

their products so unwary consumers will pay an inflated price. Recently, my wife went shopping for a TV, I won’t mention the store or the town because it is not just a Campbell River problem, before she went she checked some prices online at the major dealers on the Island, so she had an idea what the price ranges were. When

she saw one she liked it was priced about $200 more than the listed price the same store was showing online. When a clerk was questioned about the discrepancy in pricing he said, “Oh I guess it must be on sale.” I wonder what he would have done if she had just said “I’ll take it.” Get with it merchants. If you want

to sell your products put a realistic price on the product on the shelf, so the “trusting” consumer can go into your place of business without the fear that he is probably getting ripped off. – Shopper

Jacqueline Elizabeth Chadwick, best

known for her roles in Britain’s leading soap operas: Linda Blad-win in Coronation Street and Tina Dingle in Emmerdale Farm, is making this a year to remember.

“2011 marks the 10-year anniversary of the Jacqueline Chad-wick Academy and we want the children of Campbell River and the UK branches to experience the thrill of stage and screen training,” said Chad-wick.

As a shy child with a lack of confidence Jackie stumbled upon the drama training that would lead to an amazing career as an actress.

At the age of 10, Chadwick was cho-sen to join an elite group made up of a small number of talented youngsters from underprivileged areas of England. Her ensuing eight years of training was intense and opened the doors to fabulous opportu-nities from working directly with the RSC

to a New York student exchange program.

It was that early training that pro-vided the inspiration for the Jacqueline Chadwick Academy of Performing Arts.

By the age of 11, Chadwick was already appearing in a drama series on ITV. Her career then went from

strength to strength with performances in film,stage and the infamous soap operas.

In 2001, follow-ing the birth of her second child, Chad-wick stepped away from her high pro-file acting career in order to focus on her role as a mother and to give back by teach-

ing full time. Within her first year as the Principle of The Jacqueline Chadwick Academy of Perform-ing Arts, 12 branches were established throughout England and Central Scotland and thousands of children were benefit-ting from the unique, expert training on

offer.In 2009, Chadwick

relocated to Canada with her family and launched her first Canadian branches here in Campbell River.

“Over the past two years I have been working with the children of Campbell river and their talent is amazing, we have held two shows at the Tidemark Theatre and are currently working on a television and film production,” she said.

“The shows were full and the feed-back from parents is quite humbling,” said Chadwick, “seeing the kids on stage and liv-ing their dream means the world to me and the comments from parents on how our classes have improved confidence and life skills of hundreds of children makes me so proud.

“We have children staring on stage and screen through our casting agency and one of our teachers recently starred in the final of Britain’s got talent. It’s great to see the results of our hard work and dedication are paying off and people are reaching their goals.”

Chadwick teaches the Campbell River Academy herself and said she would have it no other way: “Teaching is my pas-sion, I really did not like the fame side of acting, I’m to much of a private person. I teach my classes here in Canada. I miss my children from the UK classes but I speak to the teachers each week and the kids e-mail me all the time.”

The academy runs five times a week at several locations in Campbell River, classes run in two age groups – 6-10 and 10-plus. Classes cover everything form confidence building to advanced drama, theatre and television technique.

For more informa-tion call the academy at 250-923-2863 0r visit the website www.chad-wickacademy.com and fill in a ‘call me back request.’

Young rappers have the power and the cash

Two young rappers showed “the power” to win a $2,000 prize from B.C. Hydro.

Former Timberline Secondary Students Andrew Baskin and Tanner Waller teamed up to write, perform and video their song “Energy Rap.”

They entered it in Hydro’s “Invent the Future” contest, which called for songs, videos and essays on energy conservation, and won the $2,000 prize in the 16- to 19-year-old category.

Baskin and Waller submitted the humourous song/video last November.

“I plan to raise awareness about the importance of energy conservation with a video that makes people laugh, while giving them a strong clear message about energy,” Baskin wrote in his submission.

Judges evaluated submissions on originality, innovation, creativity, scope and potential to change behaviour in B.C.

In addition to the prize money, winners get the opportunity to further develop their creative skills by spending a week at the Gulf Islands Film and Television School.

See their video online at www.campbellrivermirror.com and click on “Entertainment.”

Tenth anniversary year for Jacqueline Chadwick Academy

The youth of the Chadwick Academy have put on two performances at the Tide-mark Theatre since the academy began operations in Campbell River in 2009.

Rain and Fire Festival lives up to its name

Arts Council executive director Ken Blackburn (left) gives Spirit Square manager Jim Creighton some encouragement during the lighting of the fire barrel at the Rain & Fire Festival Saturday.


A member of the Nova Fire Spinners (above) warded off the sleet falling Saturday evening with a dramatic fire presentation. Earlier in the day (above, right) poet Kamal Parmar gave a reading during the Writer’s Cafe at the Tidemark theatre.

The members of Inclusion invite Camp-bell Riverites to join the Walk Away from Racism Saturday.

“Inclusion is a perfect fit for this event and we are very pleased to lend our talents to worth-while events in our community,” says John

Hollywood, spokes-person for the band. “We are a group of seven Campbell River, music-lovers spending our time, efforts and talents to raise aware-ness that people are more alike than differ-ent. Our group’s most unique feature is its

diversity. Four of our members have devel-opmental disabilities, but our variety moves beyond this aspect to include age, ethnicity, race.

“We love to create opportunities for com-munity members of all ages to see, first-

hand, the ability lev-els and performance competency that can be achieved by any-one with a desire and a goal. We wish to spread the message that while some people achieve goals more eas-ily than others, most worthwhile goals can

be reached with time, effort and perhaps someone who believes in you. Everyone has gifts to contribute.”

Inclusion and other local performers will appear Saturday at the Walk Away from Rac-ism at the Community Centre at 10:30 a.m

Grieg Seafood Atom A Tyees played a fantasticexhibition game at home against the higher tieredComox Valley Chiefs on Sunday afternoon.

The Tyees came out strong and Sage Cameron,with a nice pass from affiliate player HaydenCross, put the team on the scoreboard within oneminute of play.

The period was played with a lot of fast skat-ing and back-and-forth play between the teams.The Tyees carved out a 3-0 by the end of the first,with affliate player Gordon Ludvigson (Parker),and alternate captain River Fahey (Jacob Hart-ley) putting the puck in the Chiefs net.

Two minutes in to the second period Comox goton the scoreboard. With penalties being servedby each team it was five minutes later beforeCameron (Ludvigson) buried another puck inthe net.

The Chiefs answered with a short handed goalless than two minutes later to make the score4-2.

Former Carihi student Lind-say McLoughlin of the Vancou-ver Island University Women’s volleyball team was named a BCCAA 1st team All-Star this week.

She was a league leader in kills with 151 this season placing her second over-all, in digs she was eleventh and for total offensive stats (blocks, kills, aces) she was fourth. In her fifth and final year with the Mariners, Lind-say adds another award to a long list of accolades. Possibly more to come after the provin-cials and if they qualify …the nationals. This weekend she will be competing in the 2011 BCCAA Provincial Champion-

ships in Kelowna. Her team enters the tournament ranked second (fourth nationally) and will face the winner of Capi-lano University and the Colum-bia Bible College on Friday at 1 p.m.

just had to be more aggressive than them. But it was tight. If we didn’t get good goalten-ding things could have easily gone their way,” said Stapley.

It’s been a tumul-tuous season for the young Tyees, playing in the shadow of last year’s squad that only lost one game all year. They started slowly and were thrashed 8-1 by the Grizzlies in their first meeting back in November.

But according to Sta-pley the players bonded and showed steady improvement as the season went along.

“We really came together as a team,” he said. “When one player fell down, a teammate was there to help him up. We’ve had different players pitching in at different times to make things happen and it really worked out well. (Sunday) for example, Nick Ordano had a great game in net, Tyler Dickson scored a fantastic goal and Mar-cellus Wilson made a key shot block.”

According to team m a n a g e r Vi c t o r Coblenz, the coach-ing staff of Stapley, Vince Devlin, Craig Schelter and Jim Ross also deserves a lot of credit.

“This team includes seven first year play-ers, including both goalies, and a couple of others that have never played ‘A’ rep hockey before,” said Coblenz. “The coaches were able to combine them with the experienced second years and mould them together as a team. You can see many of the new kids are playing with a huge amount of confidence now. For Vince (Devlin) and Paul (Stapley), this is two years in a row they have guided teams to Island Championships. It’s really an extraordi-nary achievement.”

The Tyees will now attempt to repeat as BC Champions. They travel to the Lower Mainland next month to represent Vancou-ver Island at the Tier 2 Provincials, which are set for March 20 to 25 in Aldergrove.
