One of six men involved in a heli-copter crash on the Homathco River died during the mishap Saturday.
He was identified as Michael Kent Monson, aged 51, from Selah, Washington, the president of the Monson Fruit company.
The six were on a heli-fishing expedition at the head of Bute Inlet about 100 kilometres northeast of Campbell River.
Long time Campbell River fishing guide Randy Killoran, 44, was one of the survivors.

Campbell River’s airport will be getting a $1.3 million infusion of light.
Airfield lighting and electrical systems at the Campbell River Airport will be improved thanks to a grant worth more than $1.3 mil-lion from Transport Canada, it was announced Monday.
The total estimated cost of the project is
$1,401.044, and Transport Canada will fund $1,331,002 (95 per cent of the cost), with the City funding the remaining upgrade from its Airport Improvement Fee.
The improvement work will ensure the air-field lighting system meets current regulatory requirements. Upgrades will focus on: apron and taxiway lighting as well as runway edge
lighting circuits and re-spacing these lights. Aging airfield lighting components will also be replaced and new airfield electrical regula-tors and lighting control system as well as new runway guard lights will be installed – all to Canadian Aviation Regulations standards.
“Replacing aging electrical infrastructure will help more planes safely take off from the Campbell River Airport in reduced visi-bility conditions and ensure seamless com-mercial and general aviation operations in all weather conditions,” says Susan Sinnott of the Campbell River Airport Authority.
“These improvements are another step in making the Campbell River Airport attractive
to new customers and business investors.” “All regularly scheduled commercial air
operations are expected to continue, and any notifications required for all airport customers will be issued through the local Nav Canada flight service station,” says airport manager Tyler Massee.
Companies interested in bidding on this project should stay tuned for a request for proposals tentatively scheduled for late spring/early summer. Project completion is antici-pated in spring 2014.
Updates are regularly posted on the Campbell River Airport’s Facebook page. Click on the link from www.crairport.ca.
The City of Campbell River will be con-ducting a planned repair of a water line in the 700 block of Alder Street on Thursday, April
18, weather permitting. The work will occur between 8:30 a.m. and
4:30 p.m. and will cause some delays for driv-ers who use Alder Street between 7th and 9th avenues.
Traffic may be reduced to one lane during this time.
Drivers are asked to watch for changes in traffic flow and use other routes if possible to avoid delays. Pedestrians will be able to continue to walk along this part of Alder Street.
And the city will also be working on the final repairs to the road surface above the culvert crossing at Simms Creek on Galerno Road starting Wednesday, April 17.
The city says the work will require closing of the northbound lane cross-ing the bridge for three to five days.
Traffic control will be in place, with alternating one lane traffic, and the sidewalk on the east side of the road will be closed during this period.

The “Call” to Discipleship. “part 3”What are the Lord’s Word’s to us?
1. Our desires Must take a backseat to His desiresfor our life.
2. We Must lose ourselves to save ourselves.
This may sound like a contradiction but it is not.
Paul wrote, “It is no longer I who live, but Christ livingin me”(Galations 2:20).
The surrendered life to the leadership of Christ holdsthe key to a victorious Christian life.
23-27 Then he told them what they could expect for themselves: “Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You’re not in the driver’s seat—I am. Don’t run from suffering; embrace
it. Follow me and I’ll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifi ce is the way, my way, to fi nding yourself, your true
self. What good would it do to get everything you want and lose you, the real you? If any of you is embarrassed with me and the way I’m leading you, know that the Son of Man will be far more
embarrassed with you when he arrives in all his splendor in company with the Father and the holy angels. This isn’t, you
realize, pie in the sky by and by. Some who have taken their stand right here are going to see it happen, see with their own eyes the
kingdom of God.” Luke 9:23-25

BC Hydro and their staff and two local companies sort of enlightened the Tyee Club of British Columbia last week.
They volunteered their time and expertise and used BC Hydro equip-ment to make a hard task simple and benefit the Tyee Club with the instal-lation of a pole and light to vastly improve the parking lot lighting and make it safer.
“The Tyee Club is part of Campbell River’s culture so when we received their request for possible assistance, I can’t say enough about how our staff responded in volun-teering to help out,” says BC Hydro spokesperson, Stephen Watson. “We are unable to help most requests due to our Electrical Tariff and service connection requirements, or avail-able volunteer time, but in this case it came together with a simple pole and lighting installation.”
What may have been a simple pole and lighting installation’ for BC Hydro was a load off the shoulders of the Tyee Club.
Key fishing times in the historic and almost 100 year-old Tyee Club of British Columbia tournament, which runs from July 15 to Sept. 15, is ‘first light’ and ‘last light’. That means guides and guests arrive at and depart from the parking lot next to the Tyee Club wharves in the dark. A lot of the guests are from different parts of the world, and not as familiar with the area as some locals are.
“This is going to help us immensely,” said Floyd Ross, Tyee Club vice president. “It’s very dif-ficult to come up with the money and or expertise to do this kind of pro-ject. We’ve been wanting to do it for years and so when these great hydro guys and local businesses donate their time and BC Hydro donates the equipment it really is a big deal for our club and we are very grateful for
the help.“And those guys sure know their
job, very efficient, very profes-sional.”
Also playing a big part in the project was Andy Lawson from Dig Right Enterprises who donated his time to dig the hole and Roy Carter and his son Mike Carter of Vicker Electric worked side by side with Hydro to help complete the connection. The pole was donated by Catalyst Paper.
“The first
step was for us to meet with the Tyee Club at the site to go over their request,” says Power Line Technician Sub-Foreman, Stephen Hoekstra, one of the volunteers. “With the scope defined we then had the game plan and managed to get the guys together
on Thursday after work to complete the job.
“I know the Tyee Club was really appreciative of our assistance, and we enjoyed helping. It’s a great location with a lot of history.”

Continued from page A1.Monson, 48, was the only
casualty among five others in the helicopter that went down near Bute Inlet, roughly 62 miles northeast of Campbell River, according to a news release Monday from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
The helicopter crashed to the ground before overturning into the Homathko River, police said. Local news outlets report-ed that the crash occurred about 4:30 p.m.
Monson oversaw his family’s Selah-based fruit company that grows and processes more than 3,000 acres of cherries and
pears and 500 acres of apples each year. His family started the business in 1987, according to a statement issued by the family.
According to the BC Coroners Service an RCMP underwater recovery team recovered Monson’s body on April 15.
The other survivors included the pilot, a 37-year-old man and a 44 year-old man and his 71-year-old father who is still in hospital with internal injuries.
It is believed the helicopter clipped a tree after taking off from the shoreline and ended up in the river.
The BC Coroners Service
and RCMP continue to investi-gate Monson’s death.
Killoran is probably best known for his guiding in the Tyee Club of British Columbia, something he has done since he was a boy.
Phone lines and social media in Campbell River were abuzz
with the news of the crash on the weekend, most all with con-cern for Killoran and wanting to find out his condition.
The crash was reported to Campbell River police at about 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, and the Comox-based Rescue Coordination Centre dispatched
a team to the site.
Search-and-rescue found that five of the helicopter’s occupants,including the pilot, had escaped without life-threatening
injuries. They were all taken to Campbell River hospital.
The helicopter belonged to E&B Helicopters of Campbell River, a company with a stel-lar reputation for safety and for giving back to the community in various fund-raising events.
Such heli-fishing trips are a normal part of the Campbell River fishing scene, with clients from all over the world booking their flights out of area lodges.
Killoran has guided such trips for many years and his experience in the area and with the elements undoubtedly helped during the survival pro-cess after the crash.

Are you interested in learning about herbal rem-edies you can create with locally-abundant wild and cultivated herbs?
Local herbal medicine expert Janette Cormier is offering a workshop as part of the Lettuce Grow program at North Island College on Tuesday, April 23, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
“The workshop will offer participants the opportunity to get your hands on some local herbal knowledge,” says Kira DeSorcy, lead instructor for
the Lettuce Grow series. “Janette will teach about herbs that can be used to make infused oils, and par-ticipants will get the chance to practice as well.”
Using herbal oils, participants will learn to prepare salves. Each par-ticipant will take home a finished salve and an oil in process (great for those gardener’s hands!). All materials are included.
According to Cormier, using local plants for herbal remedies is a natural fit with food security and sus-
tainability, one that encour-ages people to explore their connection to healing and the planet.
“Herbal medicine is a much deeper, more mean-ingful sense of place and connection with our natural world.” Cormier says. “And, of course, herbal medicine is sustainable when we maintain healthy plants and ecosystems, which gives gardeners another reason to be careful stewards of the land.”
For more information or to register for this or
another Lettuce Grow work-shop visit http://www.nic.bc.ca/continuingeducation/or call Julia Peters at 250-923-9724.
Is there a workshop you would like us to organize? Write us your questions and requests to [email protected].
The Lettuce Grow courses and article series support the implementation of the City’s Agriculture Plan and the community sustainability goal of local food self-sufficiency and resiliency.
The secret of herbal remediesLocal herbal medicine expert Janette Cornier, pictured at right, will be offer-ing a course on the topic next Tuesday. There will even be a ‘take out’ service.
Island Voices Chamber Choir will host a concert fea-turing The Vancouver Welsh Men’s Choir, Sunday, May 12, at 2 p.m. This concert will take place at Campbell River United Church.
This May the Vancouver Welsh Men’s Choir is tour-ing and Island Voices is fortunate to have them as guests for this concert.
The Vancouver Welsh Men’s Choir is Vancouver’s lar-gest amateur male choir.

The only refuge is in humility, an utterly convinced, completely self-effacing humility before the complexity of truth and the even greater complexity of human nature, in the solemn certainty that complete impartiality and complete honesty are beyond the power of man, no matter how he may strain for them. In this there is a measure of help towards the proper balance of head and heart and law that yields a fair decision. - Roderick Haig-Brown

Our View
Re: Annual Walk for Hearts — Sunday May 5th, 2013
The Campbell River Branch of the First Open Heart Society would cordially like to invite you to attend our annual Walk for Hearts on May 5. (It is always held the first Sunday in May). Registration is at 1:30 p.m., the walk begins at 2 p.m. from the Willow Point Hall and goes along the Sea Walk, then returns to the Hall. It is a fun family affair with refreshments provided and prizes which are won by a draw following the Walk.
All children go home with a prize. The participants either provide a
donation or gather pledges from others to raise funds for this event which benefits our Campbell River Hospital and cardiac patients from the whole North Island. Tax receipts are pro-vided.
A small group of people initiated the Campbell River Branch of the First Open Heart Society 27 years ago. We meet every fourth Wednesday of the month at the Community Centre. If you would like to make a difference in something worthwhile and participate in an organization which benefits heart families and our community, please feel welcome to join us. For questions
and times of the next meeting phone Ken at 923- 3466 or Ed at 287-3096.
I will explain what our Society is and what we do, not the least of which is contributing to purchases of cardiac equipment for our Campbell River Hospital and our contributions to cardiac courses for Campbell River nurses and lab technologists.
Our Campbell River Branch of the First Open Heart Society is a Vancouver Island cardiac support group with branches in Victoria, Cowichan Valley, Nanaimo, Port Alberni, Courtenay and Campbell River. Victoria (the head office) owns and operates Heart House which is a Bed & Breakfast within walking distance of the Royal Jubilee Hospital for the use and comfort of patients and their families of the North Island. Our branch has furnished the “Campbell River Room”.
Since 1990 the Campbell River Branch of the First Open Heart Soc. has donated $273,040.23 for cardiac equipment for our Campbell River Hospital which includes funds for nurses’ and technicians’ education in cardiac courses.
Our primary function is not to raise money for hospital equipment but to
provide support for local heart patients (anyone with a cardiovascular prob-lem) and their families, who are facing or recovering from heart surgery or experiencing any other heart or cardio-vascular related problem or procedure. This may be moral support and/or financial support for people in need to obtain medical treatment in Vancouver or Victoria.
Special emphasis is given to fam-ilies with children facing surgery for heart related problems at Children’s Hospital in Vancouver.
We are not affiliated in any way with the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Our group is a local support group. We have one fund raiser per year.
The funds stay local and are used for North Island “heart patients”, car-diac equipment for the Campbell River Hospital, cardiac education for nurses and technicians and occasionally for Heart House which is used by North Island patients and their families.
Our group does not receive any government funding or grants and is completely run by volunteers.

And they’re off...The provincial election has begun, officially.
Unofficially, as it always is in BC, the election has been ongoing from the day Christy Clark became the new Premier.
She begins this campaign well behind in most every poll. One of the things she and the Liberal party will need is for the voters in BC to have got-ten over the hangover given them by former Premier Gordon Campbell.
Like as not, deny it as much as she wants, Campbell’s legacy will affect the outcome of this election. It’s just a matter of how much.
As for NDP leader Adrian Ducks, er, we mean Dix, he has probably had one of the easiest cam-paigns until now. All he basically had to do was keep quiet. But that time is over and was over recently and now his strategies are becoming clearer.
He will fight a ‘clean’ campaign he says, even in the face of some pretty nasty attack ads from the Liberals. And his recent decision on a head-to-head debate against Christy Clark was brilliant.
The Liberals tried to shame him into getting into that kind of debate, one which only Christy Clark could benefit from. But he said no, that if the other parties weren’t involved, then it would be unfair.
It’s a democracy, after all, he said.That’s one world Gordon Campbell left out of his
vocabulary for way too long.
One word,lots of history

If you want to see wild salmon, if you own a boat and plan on going fishing, do see the documentary Salmon Confidential.
Our federal and provincial govern-ments have all the resources and data to fully inform the public and make the protection of our ocean and wild fish a priority, but restrict the voice of science
unless it fits an agenda of pipelines and aquaculture.
And check out the rules for catching a halibut...ridiculous!
Now is the time to speak up...after that, go fishing.

Measure of the YearRoderick Haig-Brown

The decision by Canada’s federal govern-ment to close the Experimental Lakes Area (ELA), a unique and world-class research region in Northern Ontario, fits a sobering pattern. Canadian scientists, employed with public funds, have been muzzled and are unable to speak openly to the media without prior approval of the government’s Privy Council. Then their messages are often controlled, some-times even interpreted so the findings are not politically awkward. Federal environmental regu-lations have been relaxed en masse.
The ELA is the only known place in the world where special ecological experiments can be conducted. The lakes, isolated from the con-taminating effects of civilization and from each other, offer the rare conditions where single vari-ables can be introduced under controlled condi-tions to examine specifically what happens when one environmental factor is changed. Critically important data that has been accumulating over 45 years of experimentation could be rendered useless for further scientific knowledge if the ELA is closed.
The comment of Dr. Carol Kelly, a Canadian scientist who has been doing research at the ELA since 1978, is typical of those made by her colleagues from around the world who are stunned and incredulous at the shortsightedness of closing such a remarkable site. “With the closing of the Experimental Lakes Area, there is about to be the loss not only of the specific and unique experiments going on right now, but also the ability of Canadian science to provide the kind of clear, unambiguous results that only a whole lake experiment can give. When you work in uncontrolled lakes, near towns, there are so many things happening at once that it’s hard to say which factor is responsible for what you see, and uncertainty doesn’t lead to sound policy. At the ELA, we change one thing at a time, such as phosphorus input, or mercury input, and we see how the whole ecosystem responds. This brings
certainty to environmental policy formulation that no other approach can provide” (Globe and Mail, March 20/13).
The possibility of losing this critically import-ant certainty perplexes scientists, who believe — like most people — that environmental poli-cies should be founded on evidence rather than ideology. Profoundly expensive mistakes can be avoided or made depending on the availability of the solid scientific evidence. Phosphates provides a classical example. Corporations manufacturing detergents argued that the unusual algae blooms occurring in lakes and other fresh water bodies were the result of carbon rather than the phosphorus they were using in their products. A simple experiment at the ELA resolved the dispute. Carbon was added to one isolated lake; phos-phorus was added to the second adjoining one. The effects of carbon were negligible; the phosphorus was discovered to be a fertilizer that promoted algae growth, generated toxicity and created anoxic conditions that killed fish. This experiment reformed the detergent industry, revolutionized the manner in which waste water is treated, changed how fertil-izers are used in farming, and saved the world at least a trillion dollars in remedial costs according to one scientist’s estimate. After 45 years, the experiment continues to refine the ecological effects of phosphates in freshwater systems.
Many other experiments at the ELA are in progress. One is examining the effects of iron in fresh water — iron-rich lakes are inexplicably more vital than iron-poor lakes. A study of nitro-gen is critical to understanding the consequences
of disrupting the global nitrogen cycle, one of the biosphere’s most important. Vital studies of mercury contamination are measuring the impact of burning coal — mercury is a major neurological toxin released in emissions. Another study is assessing the impact on fish as global climate change reduces the inflow of water to lakes and raises water temperature. A new study
is trying to determine the effects on ecosystems of silver nanoparticles that are increasingly being used as a bactericide in hundreds of con-sumer products. Because such tightly controlled experiments cannot be conducted elsewhere, the information gathered by all this crucially import-ant research comes to an end if the ELA is closed.
The Canadian government is arguing that the $2 million in sav-ings per year is necessary economy — scientists contend that the actual savings are about $600,000, a mere
pittance considering the value of the informa-tion in shaping wise environmental policies. Continued research at the ELA could save bil-lions of dollars — and perhaps trillions — by avoiding ecological and health catastrophes in Canada and around the world.
The international scientific community is dumbfounded by the Canadian government’s current treatment of science. The muzzling of colleagues, the withdrawal of crucial research funding, the relaxation of carefully constructed environmental regulations, and now the closing of the ELA can only lead to the conclusion that the official position of the government of Canada is anti-science, supposedly because experimental evidence may be in conflict with an ideological
agenda. This country’s scientists once held a prestigious position as respected and valu-able contributors to world science. They are now objects of sympathy as they try to maintain their dignity and freedom in an
atmosphere of abandonment and repression.The cumulative effect is serious. The closing
of the Experimental Lakes Area has become a symbol of Canada’s collapsing scientific cred-ibility and respectability. Scientists from other countries are showing a reluctance to work here for fear that constraints may limit their ability to conduct open and free research.
A prestigious German research organization, the Helmholtz Centre, has ended its collabora-tion with the University of Alberta on tar sands environmental research because of fears that its reputation could be jeopardized by operating in such circumstances (Ibid.). American scientists are expressing the same concern.
German politicians and the German press have noted Canada’s collapse from scientific credibility, not to mention its withdrawal from the legally binding Kyoto Protocol and, most recently, from a 192-nation organization that is trying to mitigate the humanitarian effects of desertification.
German anger and frustration is palpable. Its press has published in headlines, “The Stench of Money: Canada’s Environment Succumbs to Oil Sands” (Ibid.). And its leaders from all par-ties have undiplomatically condemned Canada’s actions as “dishonest and cowardly”, and “a fatal flight from responsibility” (Ibid.).
Other countries clearly take science and the environment far more seriously than Canada does. Indeed, without the intelligent guidance of unfettered science, Canada is set to make some extremely expensive mistakes.

More and more we are coming to see the chemicals around us as a threat to our health.
“Chemicals have replaced bacteria and viruses as the main threat to health. The dis-eases we are beginning to see as the major causes of death in the latter part of (the 1900s) and into the 21st century are diseases of chemical origin.” — Dr. Dick Irwin, Toxicologist, Texas A&M University
Our love affair with the miracle of chemistry propelled us to bring many chemicals into our lives for cleaning, for freshening the air, and for so much more. But cancer rates keep rising. Asthma is at an all-time high in children. The chemicals in our lives are contributing to our health problems.
We can do something to help ourselves, without giving up all of modern life to move into a log cabin in the bush.
Not so many years ago, people got on very well without the products that fill store shelves today. Houses were clean. Air was fresh. We can go back to those old cleaners that relied on water, baking soda, vinegar, soap and borax. (See recipes below.)
Or we can look for the new ‘green’ prod-ucts. Companies like Seventh Generation and Ecover provide alternative products to do the job. They used to be only available in health food stores, but now show up in the organic or ‘green’ section in grocery stores. Sometimes they even make it onto the shelves beside competing products.
Health food stores are still a good place to look for a wide variety of alternative products available, but other stores are joining in. This is, perhaps, one of the clearest indicators that more and more of us are looking for alterna-
tives.We change the world by the way
we shop! As a rule of thumb, simpler is better. Look for products with the fewest ingredients, and no fragrances.
Avoid the unnecessary. Some experts warn that the antiseptic or germicidal soaps we use at home may be wiping out the competition and allowing the resistant germs to multi-ply and become stronger.
For the do-it-yourselfer, lots of alternatives can be simply made at home. For a wide selection of options,
check out the Guide to Less Toxic Products at www.lesstoxicguide.ca, brought to us by the Environmental Health Association of Nova Scotia.
A good information source that rates commercial products is the Environmental Working Group site and their Guide to healthy Cleaning at www.ewg.org/guides/cleaners. Interestingly, some of the products that give themselves green names are not found to be all that ‘green’ in real life. Some simple, home-made alternatives include:
• Scouring powder: Use baking soda. (A word to the wise: If you use baking soda as a cleaner, be aware that the powder does indeed scour a surface. Do not use it on your acrylic tub, for instance. It will scratch.)
• Toilet-bowl cleaner: Mix baking soda and castile soap.
• Oven cleaner: Mix two teaspoons borax, two tablespoons liquid soap, and warm water. Use steel wool for tough spots and rub gently.
• Drain cleaner: Pour 1/2 cup baking soda into drain, followed by 1/2 cup vinegar and add a handful of salt to cut through grease. Wait a half-hour and pour two quarts boiling water down the drain. Repeat if necessary, and use a drain snake if needed.
• Tub and tile cleaner: Mix 1/4 cup baking soda and 1/2 cup white vinegar with warm water.
• Disinfectant cleaner: Mix one teaspoon borax, two tablespoons white vinegar, one cup liquid soap, and two cups hot water. A few drops of tea-tree oil can be added.
• Vinyl floor cleaner: Mix one cup white vinegar with two gallons water.
• Window cleaner: Mix two tablespoons white vinegar with one quart warm water.
• Bleach: Use the natural bleaching power of the sun and hang your whites outside to dry. You also can add 1/2 cup borax to your wash.
• Mildew remover: Mix equal parts vinegar and salt, and scrub affected area hard. (May remove dye – test first.)
• Clothes stain remover: For spots, clean immediately with club soda; for perspiration stains, use white vinegar and water.
• Ink-spot remover: Use cold water, one tablespoon cream of tartar and one tablespoon lemon juice.
• Dusting: a slightly damp cloth holds onto dust better than a dry one. Microfibre cloths work well to wipe down surfaces.

Tips on reducing some toxics in your homeA boy who is really interested can turn to
hundreds of books that unfold the techniques and traditions and values of angling with enormous competence and thoroughness, sometimes with deep insight. It is well that he should be shown this and taught the great names and great develop-ments of the sport in proper proportion. He can then find his own place and part in the tradition of his sport, and he will have at hand a hundred teachers instead of one or two.
There is no substitute for going fishing, for the trial and error of learning that becomes experience. And the error of learning that becomes experience. And experience, reflect-ed and renewed, tested and proved and made a part of action, becomes one of the keenest joys of fishing. When a man can recognize the place
and proportion of his own experience against the rich background of the sport, it has increased and intensified meaning. It is this quality of enjoy-ment and satisfaction, not mere proficiency, that a wise father wishes for his child. Good minds have always found it, because fishing is the richest and the most complex of all sports, but it is not found in full measure without preparation. A man can learn for himself, even late in life, how to find it; but a boy, shown the right things early, will make them a part of himself and build on them through a lifetime of experience.(From A Fisherman’s Spring, published in 1951)

Campbell River’s Sandra Milligan is safe and sound after running in the terrorist-marred Boston Marathon Monday.
The Strathcona Triathon member and instruct-or at North Island College, reported on her Facebook page shortly after the two explosions at the Marathon’s finish line, which killed three people and left over 170 injured, that she and her family were okay.
“My family (her parents and daughter) and I
are all okay and back at our apartment about one kilometre from the finish line,” said Milligan. “The bombs went off about 30 minutes after I crossed the finish line so none of us saw the actual event but heard the bombs and all the sub-sequent chaos.
“I am very saddened by this terrible event, par-ticularly after enjoying the amazing hospitality of the people of Boston over the last few days. The spectators embrace and encourage the runners along the entire race course;
“I feel so sad that this enjoyment may be forever tainted. This event, and large marathons and sporting events in general, will never be the
same.”The twin blast happened more than four hours
after the start of the race, when most of the top runners had already left, but slower runners were still on the course.
Milligan was already off the course at the time of the explosions, thankful for her and her fam-ily’s safety after her ‘marathon’ Monday.
“To bed now after a totally exhausting emo-tional day,” she wrote on Facebook.
“Thanks for all of your thoughts; I’m glad I have family here so I’m not alone and appreciate knowing you are all there too.”

Eight of Campbell Rivers top wrestlers travelled to the 2013 Canadian National High School Wrestling Tournament in Saskatoon, this past weekend, to compete against the best wrestlers Canada has to offer.
The Campbell River Wrestling Club athletes competed in the free-style category during the first two days of competition. Leading the way was two time BC Provincial champion Ashley Osachuk, who had an outstanding performance earning herself a silver medal in the 52 kg juvenile girls division (Grade 11-12). Closely behind was the performance of Conlan Foy in the cadet boys 46 kg division (Grade 9-10), earning himself a bronze medal in his first year competing at the national level.
Hailey Dean earned a respectable fifth place in the cadet girls 46 kg division, while Ali McPhee rounded out the top six finishers with a sixth place in the 60 kg cadet girls. Other strong performances that fell short of the podium came from Brett Nelson (juvenile boys 58 kg), Dawson McKay (cadet boys 85 kg), Mike Herman (juvenile boys 50 kg) and Alex Jinda (cadet boys 76 kg).
The surprise and highlight of the tournament came on the third day of competition during the Greco Roman category, when Herman wrestled to a gold medal earning the title of greco national champion. Conlan Foy also competed on the third day trying to earn a spot on the Canadian team
who will compete at the world cham-pionships this summer. Foy wrestled tough wrestling to a 2-2 record and finishing in fourth place.
“This was a very impressive fin-ish considering the amount of wrest-ling he did in three days, and con-sidering that this age group included
athletes two years older than him,“ said Campbell River coach Jason Kerluck.
As a part of Team BC’s 132 par-ticipating wrestlers, the CR group helped contribute to an impressive overall standing for BC. This includ-ed a first place finish in the juvenile,
cadet, and greco men’s divisions, second place for juvenile women, and third place for cadet women.
Local wrestlers look to the com-munity for support to help subsid-ize costs associated with travelling and competing at the national level. They will be holding a hot dog sale
at Discovery Foods on Sunday, April 28, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
They will also be bagging grocer-ies at Superstore on Saturday, May 25.
At each event they will be hand-ing out a wrestling magazine that profiles their success this season.

The Carihi Tyees girl’s soccer team enjoyed a superb Investors Group Challenge Cup this past weekend. Having travelled to and winning the Chilliwack Cup last week, the Tyees were brimming with confidence going into the 17th Annual Investors Group Challenge, The opposition was going to be a lot tougher however with powerhouse Argyle Pipers and Panarama Ridge, AAA Provincial Champion, as the top two seeded teams in the 24 team tournament.
The Tyees continues their strong play, coming away with an impressive second place finish.
The Tyees opened up with a com-fortable 6-0 victory over Parkland from Victoria Friday. Carihi goalscor-ers were Selena Lasote with a hat trick, Claire Pomeroy, Jenna Manners and Talise Lindenbach.
The second game brought a far sterner challenge with Clayton Heights of Surrey. The Surrey team started well and out battled the host team and went into a deserved 1-0 lead.
This shook up the Tyees and they responded well. After a good spell of pressure Eilidh “Razza” Rasmussen finished well to level the score. Six minutes later an excellent run down the left hand side of the pitch saw a cross from Manners, which we met by the onrushing Lasote who showed “Sergio Aquero” like pace to reach the ball ahead of the Clayton Heights defender before slotting the goal past the keeper.
The second half saw an excellent performance from the Carihi team. The central defensive partnership of Alana Smith and Jocelyn Cormier
were outstanding and were ably sup-ported by full backs Carrie Gage, Marisa Boyle and Taylor Marsh. The score remained the same and the Tyees advanced to the semifinals, Saturday against Ballenas.
On the other side of the draw Stelly’s of Victoria had defeated both Dover Bay and Argyle to advance to their semifinal against Panarama Ridge.
The Tyees semi saw a comfortable 6-0 victory over an injury-plagued and much weakened Ballenas side. Ballenas had won two excellent games the previous day but had to leave four players behind on the Friday due to Community Soccer “A” cup play on the Saturday. Tyees goalscorers in this game were Karlyn Healy with a brace, Lasote, Razza, Gage and Haley Craddock. The pick
of the goals was a superb header from Craddock from 10 yards out after an excellent cross by Healy.
The game was won in the first 20 minutes and it provided the oppor-tunity for the Tyees to build upon the style of play they want to use in the more challenging games. In the middle of the park Olivia Curry, Lindenbach and Manners showed excellent composure and Bethan Curnow made a very encouraging school debut. On the other pitch Stelly’s defeated Panarama Ridge in a thrilling 2-1 game.
The Cup final was an outstanding game of soccer. The chances to score were few and far between as the two teams played solid defence with great shape and discipline.
Stelly’s had a long speculative shot well saved by Tyee keeper Craddock
in the early stages of the game and in return the Stelly’s keeper came out quickly to close down a couple of halfchances by Lasote and Razza.
There was a playoff style atmos-phere and despite being a very physical game it was played in an outstanding spirit. It was no surprise that the game ended in a 0-0 tie and it went straight to a shootout. Stelly’s put every shot into the corner leav-ing back up keeper Anika Shelrud with no chance of making a save. In doing so it was Stelly’s who stole the fairy tale ending the heavily Grade 12 Tyees team were seeking. Lasote was awarded the Carihi MVP for the tournament.
Carihi also had their Senior B and Junior Girls playing in the Plate side of the tournament. Both enjoyed a

The buzz has already started over the start of the second season of the Adult Kickball League.
Remember when Seymour Pacific’s Psychedelic Warriors won last year’s epic final game? Those six teams vying for the coveted championship demonstrated the popularity of the game, and the Campbell River recreation department hopes last season’s success will help the league grow to eight or more teams this year.
“A combination of baseball, soccer and dodge ball, this fun kickball league is for adults looking to get some exercise, increase their reaction time and meet other people who enjoy having a ball thrown at them,” explains recrea-tion programmer Kevin Elmore. “The sport is growing in popularity across North America and provides an alternative to conventional sports – bringing out the fun-loving kid in everyone.”
Also known as California kickball, the game is played on a baseball diamond, with the same field setup. Players kick a rubber ball that is
pitched, instead of hitting a baseball with a bat. Once the ball is kicked, players run the bases while the other team throws the ball to get them out. Just like baseball, the bases are safe, and if the ball is caught before it touches the ground that player is out.
This year’s kickball season begins Thursday, May 2, with games running until the end of June. Games are played evenings between 7 and 9 p.m. at Ecole des Deux Mondes (EDM) school.
Register as a single player and/or as a teams of eight (or more) before 3 p.m. April 24, by calling or stopping into the Sportsplex. Having trouble finding enough players for a team? Contact league coordinator Kevin Elmore at the Community Centre, who might be able to arrange players to join your team.
For more information and rules of play for this new rec league, please call the Sportsplex at 250-923-7911 or the Community Centre at 250-286-1161.

The Comox Valley is gearing up to host the first provin-cial road cycling championship for youth in June.
City councillors approved the necessary road closures for the criterium leg of the event in downtown Courtenay on the morning of Sunday, June 9.
The day before, June 8, there will be road racing on the 15 km Dove Creek circuit in the morning and a hill climb on a stretch of Strathcona Parkway towards Mount Washington in the late afternoon and early evening.
The three races will all be part of the 2013 BC Provincial Youth Road Cycling Championship.
The prestigious event is being organized by the Vancouver Island Performance Youth Racing Squad (VIPYRS) and is expected to attract between 75 and 100 riders from Western Canada and the US Northwest.
All the competitors will be aged between 10 and 18, and each of the three events over the two days will be divided between four age groups as well as between boys and girls. Some of the races may be run with both sexes competing together, but points will be awarded separately.
Race coordinator and VIPYRS president Steve Grant said it was the first provincial youth road cycling championship ever to be held in BC “and we are proud, on behalf of our community, to have been awarded this event,”
He added: “This is a tremendous opportunity to showcase our Valley as athletes and their families from all over British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest will be in attendance.”
Grant, who lives in Merville, said he had been advised there had been other races on the same course between 1996 and 2002 that had been tremendous successes in attracting significant crowds of spectators to downtown. He said he was very excited at the prospects for the weekend and the opportunities it would bring to the Valley.
More details will be posted as they become available at www.vipyrsracing.com.

Last weekend the final event of the year was held at Mount Washington, the Coast Zone Finals. Five Podium of Life Snow Sports Academy stu-dents competed and did quite well.
The event spanned ages of 11 to 18 and involved both boys and girls, with competitors from various moun-tains on the coast. The first day, dual slalom, was very exciting as skiers raced down a slalom course against another racer.
This elimination event was full of drama. And in the end, three Podium students stood on the podium. Maja Nymann won a gold, while Kole Harle and Sylvi Nymann won a bronze. Mel Pemble and Kieran
Harley did not progress to the final four.
The next day was a timed slalom race where the Podium kids showed their grit. This race combined two runs to see who was the fastest over the two races. Harle won a gold, Maja Nymann won a silver, Sylvi Nymann was fourth, Pemble earned a top 10 placing, and Harley was sick.
“That was a pretty good way to end the year at Podium,” commented Kole Harle. “Now we are off to Whistler for some spring training.”
Podium of Life Snow Sports Academy is going to bring its school-ing model to Whistler for some spring training this May.

Go to the Campbell River Art Gallery Thursday, April 25 at 5:30 p.m. to see a per-formance piece and hear an illustrated artist’s talk at the opening of two new exhib-itions.
The exhibition, Sara Robichaud: Double Life, is in the Main Gallery and features the work of Nanaimo artist Sara Robichaud. Robichaud’s large scale abstract paintings are full of lush color and a careful manipulation of the acrylic medium.
Hard edged, raised lines of paint sweep across the can-vases and intersect with more organic shapes to create vis-ually interesting compositions. The repetitive shapes found throughout the exhibition symbolize objects of import-ance in Robichaud’s life as a mother and wife in a home environment.
These shapes, in conjunc-tion with the bold colors and technical excellence in the painterly process, highlight
the dual roles the artist plays as family member and profes-sional artist. The opening of this exhibition will include a performance piece and an illustrated artist’s talk about Robichaud’s progression as an artist and the pieces in the show.
Also opening on Thursday April 25 in the Discovery Gallery is Albertan artist Audra Schoblocher’s exhib-ition Etiquette Depiction.Schoblocher’s small metal sculptures bring to mind uten-sils or tools.
They spark questions of purpose, physical move-ment and historical age.
With the physical marks of the artist pres-ent on each piece, the metal is transformed from mere medium to a functional tool. Presented in boxes suggesting an archaeo-logical context, or in photographs document-ing usage, the sculptures
have a narrative quality that invites the viewer to use their imagination.
Staff and volunteers at the Campbell River Art Gallery look forward to welcom-ing the public to view both exhibitions and meet Sara Robichaud at the opening reception Thursday, April 25 at 5:30 p.m.
The Campbell River Art Gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. Starting Monday, May 20, the Gallery will revert to summer hours, Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

RECENT ACTIVITY
Opening reception setfor 2 new exhibitions at the CR Art GalleryThursday, April 25
Photo by ‘Cakes’Artist Sara Robichaud with her work. Her exhibit opens in Campbell River April 25.
The Campbell River Singers are now pre-paring for their annual Spring Concert which is being dedicated to the memory of Tass Schmidt, a member of their singing commun-ity.
The CR Singers were honored recently to open for the renowned Canadian acappella group, The Nylons, when they performed at the Tidemark Theatre in Campbell River. The Nylons put on a great show, and it was a fun experience for the choir.
This spring season, conductor John Montgomery has again put together an eclec-tic list of pieces that takes us from a Hawaiian chant set to music, to a fun and fast Czech folk song. Between those two extremes, the choir will perform some smooth jazz tunes, ‘You Make Me Feel So Young’ and ‘You’d Be So Nice To Come Home To’, along with some rousing gospel numbers, a throwback to 1958with ‘Lollipop’, and the haunting ‘A Song of Night’.
This season, the Singers are very happy to welcome two special guest performers.
La Isla (The Island) are classical guitar
students of Helga Hagen, and range in age from 11 to 16 years. La Isla has recently been accepted to attend the prestigious Aberdeen International Youth Festival in July.
Island Phoenix Acappella, affiliated with Sweet Adelines International, is a popular group singing four part harmony without musical accompaniment.
They will be performing selections from their repertoire and will add a fun barbershop sound to the afternoon’s program.
The Singers are pleased to have the fol-lowing talented trio accompany them on the songs they will be performing: Helen Moats on piano, Dan Montgomery on bass, and Jack Clark on drums.
Location: St. Peter’s Anglican ChurchDate & Time: Sunday, April 28 2 p.m.Tickets: Adults — $14 Students and
Seniors — $12Tickets are available from choir members
and at the doorSo mark your calendar, call a friend, and
please join them for a great afternoon of music and song.

The Earth Week Film Festival on Friday, April 19 will help support local students tak-ing environmental action in our community.
The action-packed event is hosted by the City of Campbell River and School District 72 and will include community booths, stu-dent films and the highly-entertaining 2012 Compost Video Challenge, which follows six Campbell River families as they compete to reduce their waste and capture video footage that will inspire other people to start com-posting.
The evening’s award-winning feature film Bag it delves into the effects of plastic on human health and the environment – and ways to address the issue.
The annual festival brings people together to celebrate Earth Week, creates awareness about environmental issues that are affecting our planet and encourages people to think about how they can make a difference.
“I think it’s important for us to become aware of how everyday decisions, like throw-ing plastic into the garbage, can affect the environment,” says Nya Harley, Chair of the Youth Action Committee, and a Grade 11 student from Carihi.
“Once we are aware, we can become inspired to make change.”
“It’s the small actions that add up to make a big difference,” says Manesha Bains, Youth Action Committee member and a Grade 10 student from Carihi, who also competed in the 2012 Compost Video Challenge with her family. “Some things that I do are recycle, compost and use reusable bags instead of plastic ones.”
Bains and Harley are both members of the City’s Youth Action Committee (YAC), which provides a youth perspective for staff and city council on many community issues, including the environment. Every year, the
committee helps organize the annual Earth Week Film Festival, and at this year’s festi-val, they will also be selling reusable bags to help raise funds for student environmental projects.
The film festival is a great event for community members of all ages. Go early
to visit community booths and learn about composting, recycling and green initiatives in Campbell River.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and the film begins at 7 p.m. on Friday, April 19 at the Tidemark Theatre. Admission is by donation.
Each year, the Youth Action Committee
determines which projects are supported by the monies raised at the festival. Last year, the donations went to Mountainaire Avian Rescue Society, a student environmental bur-sary for a graduating SD 72 student’s post-secondary education, and the community garden at Robron School.
Students talk environmental action for Earth Week

Various materials can be usedto pave a driveway
When renovating a home, many homeowners look to increase the home’s curb appeal. “Curb appeal” is a term used to describe how the home’s exterior appears to buyers the moment they pull up to the curb. A home that impresses prospective buyers before they even go inside is said to have a strong curb appeal, and that curb appeal can add signifi cant value to a home.
Homeowners looking to improve the curb appeal of their home can do so in a variety of ways. One often overlooked yet effective way to make a home’s exterior more appealing is to revamp the driveway. Driveways may not be high on a homeowner’s renovation totem pole, but a cracked or unsightly driveway can give prospective buyers the impression that a home has not been properly taken care of. When addressing a driveway, homeowners have a host of paving materials at their disposal.
Asphalt — Asphalt is an affordable paving material, which likely plays a role in its popularity among homeowners. Asphalt is also easy to install and requires little maintenance, two additional benefi ts to homeowners who don’t have much time to install or look after their driveway. Asphalt is made from a combination of concrete, gravel and tar, and though it’s easy and affordable to install, asphalt, as any kid can tell you, can get awfully hot under the summer sun. Asphalt can also crack rather easily, so homeowners must weigh its immediate affordability against the likelihood that perhaps it will need to be replaced sooner than other materials.
Brick — Brick is among the more expensive paving materials, as brick is a labor-intensive material to install. But brick allows homeowners to create distinctive patterns that can add quite a bit to a home’s curb appeal. Once installed, brick driveways don’t require much maintenance, though cracked bricks will need to be replaced.
Cobblestone — Cobblestone can be very pleasing to the eye, but that aesthetic appeal won’t come cheap. Among the more expensive paving materials, cobblestone can also be a handful to maintain, as weeds can penetrate the cobblestones rather easily. Loose or missing stones can be unsightly and will need to be replaced.
Many homeowners who love the look of cobblestone choose to use it along walkways or on their patios, as these areas won’t require as much materials, saving both money and the time it takes to maintain the cobblestones.
Concrete — Concrete is perhaps the ideal paving material for the homeowner who wants to express his or her individuality. That’s because concrete driveways can be laid in a variety of colors and designs, adding a touch of personality in a place many homeowners likely thought such expression was impossible.
Though affordable, concrete can fall victim to the elements, as extremely cold temperatures can cause the concrete to shift and ultimately crack. Concrete pavers can remedy this problem, though that will add to the overall cost of the project.
Gravel — A gravel driveway can give a home a historical look that few of today’s homes can boast. Gravel is an affordable material that requires little maintenance, though weeds can grow through gravel and must be removed to maintain the driveway’s appeal. Washout is a concern for some who want a gravel driveway, but edging the driveway with a material like timber or bluestone can prevent the gravel from washing away should heavy rains fall.
A well-maintained driveway can add to a home’s curb appeal.

Time Isa SpringEvery day is a new day! Each day is literally a new creation, the unfolding of something divine. The sun rises and sets with only slight variations every day, just as the seasons return at their appointed time each year. Time literally pulses or oscillates, like a perpetual spring. Even the longer periods of time appear to have this characteristic oscillation. The universe is expanding, and will eventually reach the point of maximum expansion and start contracting, only to contract back to the point of a giant cosmic implosion, which will set the universe expanding again. But, time is also like a spring from which life-giving water fl ows. That is, time is a never-ending source of being. It continually fl ows and all beings arise within the fabric of time. Only the ultimate Being, God, is outside of time. As fi nite, temporal beings we cannot wrap our minds around the nature of time, and we might feel a bit like Einstein when he remarked that “the only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once.” Presumably for God all things are experienced simultaneously, but we can only imagine what that might be like. Time is truly a spring, a never-ending source of wonder.

The Campbell River Business and Professional Women’s Network presents…The 3 Simple Secrets of Smart Professionals Who LOVE Their Work.
The BPWN’s April 23 meeting will feature “The 3 Simple Secrets of Smart Professionals who LOVE Their Work”, a presentation by Beth Campbell Duke.
Learn the ‘what’, ‘why’ and ‘how’ of each of the main components of the personal branding process, and walk away with a short-list of powerful, immediately action-able S.M.A.R.T. goals that will improve your personal and professional success.
This fun and interactive program will allow partici-pants to pinpoint their strengths and build success from a positive and solid foundation.
A veteran of TedX, Beth Campbell Duke is both com-
pelling and humorous. She instills a sense of empower-ment, and a desire to take charge of your day. Find out how you can identify your strengths and, with just a few key ‘course corrections’, make significant changes to your work and life success.
Join the Campbell River Business and Professional Women’s Network on April 23, at the Royal Coachman, when Beth Campbell Duke shares these three simple secrets to help you stand out from the crowd and feel great doing it.
To reserve your place contact Corinne at [email protected] by Sunday April 21. You can now pay in advance at www.bpwn.org by clicking on the “Book On Line Button”. Tickets are $30 for members and $39 for guests. As always, men are welcome. Please let them know of any dietary concerns or allergies.
At heart, I’m a do-it-yourself type. I’ve attempted to fix, repair, patch, mend, install or replace just about everything I’ve owned with varying degrees of success. However, over the last number of years it’s gotten a lot easier picking up the phone and hiring a professional.Especially, if you don’t have the time, tools or training to complete on your own.
This includes our family’s tax returns. Sure, my accounting acumen is higher than the average person and I suppose I could manage if I really wanted to. I don’t. I’d rather be fishing, hiking, biking, weeding, painting or having a siesta on the couch. I suppose if I just had a single T-4 rolling through the door it would be easy enough to man-age. Perfect for my 17 year old who really only has to sign, date, enclose and post to CRA by the 30th.
With numerous T-4’s, T-4A’s, business income and expenses, charitable donations, student deductions etc. it’s never been more difficult to understand how or what is required to complete your own tax return. I’m sure some would say that the software packages make it pretty easy. I tried one once and seemed to hit a snag after about an hour’s worth of inputting. I retreated to a paper copy. I seem to recall that the program was recycled shortly thereafter.
Our local Member of Parliament, John Duncan sent out a Tax Guide awhile back on behalf of the Conservative Government highlighting some of the updates his government has made. The table of contents lists lower taxes for; All Canadians, Families, Seniors, Working Canadians and Job Creators and Home Buyers. I count 29 separate references to programs that either weren’t in existence a few years back or have changed. More fair and equitable? Absolutely. More confusing and difficult to complete your own tax return? Ditto.
My accounting firm recently asked for some feedback on their firms “value-proposition.” Among other things, they guarantee their work, will pay any penalties and interest from any mistakes they make, file my return elec-tronically, arrange for direct deposit of any refunds, field reasonable requests throughout the year and will speak with CRA on my behalf as necessary. While I haven’t checked, I’m sure most other accounting firms do similar.
Now, excuse me. I hear the great outdoors calling.

Inspire creative recycling ideas and get all the raw material you need by browsing the Plant and Jumble Sale on Saturday, April 20. It all takes place in the Community Centre gym from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Up-cycling is recycling with a twist – where a little imagination turns rummage and garage sale finds into even better treasures.
But wait, there’s more! The annual Plant & Jumble Sale attracts many garden-
ers seeking plants, seeds, herbs, bulbs and even gardening magazines. The gym is jammed with everything garden and garage, books and puzzles, quilting and knitting, plus a silent auction of new and nearly-new items.
Upstairs in the Community Centre, a Pottery Show & Sale in the lounge and pottery demonstrations across the hall in the Craft Room will round out the fun.
Add the smell of homemade baking, fresh soup and popcorn, and you have a Saturday event with something for the whole family.
City of Campbell River Recreation and Culture 50+ Active Living members host this popular fundraiser and use the funds for their healthy, active program activities.

Imagine if the entire length of highway between Vancouver and Thunder Bay was littered with debris – such as cigarette butts, plastic bags, and food containers.
That stretch of highway is the approximate length of shoreline (a little over 3,000 km) that was cleaned during the 2012 Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup, a joint collaboration between the Vancouver Aquarium and WWF, and the largest direct-action public conservation effort in the country.
It’s a lot of litter (over 136,000 kg worth!), but it doesn’t even come close to encompassing the total amount of litter that still plagues Canada’s shorelines (any-where where land meets water), and negatively impacts surround-ing communities, and wildlife. That’s why this year, even more volunteers and site coordinators are needed to battle shoreline lit-ter, a major environmental issue.
“No matter what form it comes in, shoreline litter and pollution puts ecosystems, wildlife and people at risk,” says Jill Dwyer, program manager for the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup. “This litter can negatively impact water quality through contam-ination, as well as the health of plants and animals that live in that ecosystem.”
The results of shoreline litter are far-reaching:
• Shoreline litter poses danger for people, and cause economic damage to areas that rely on tour-ism or water-based industries, like fishing.
• Local wildlife run the risk of getting tangled in or ingesting lit-ter or other pollutants.
• Organisms often attach to litter as it flows through water systems, causing invasive species to infiltrate foreign habitats and damage the sensitive balance of the ecosystem.
• Wildlife entangled in litter such as plastic bags, six-pack rings, ribbon, fishing line or food wrappers can have their move-ments restricted, be injured or even eventually drown, suffocate
or starve. • Animals like sea turtles often
mistake plastic bags for jellyfish and swallow them. This clogs their digestive tracts, leading to starvation and death.
• Water quality is affected by the toxins emitted from litter.
The good news is that you can be part of the solution to keep our shorelines healthy for your com-munity and wildlife. During last year’s cleanup effort in British
Columbia, over 136,036 kg of shoreline litter was collected from the province’s shorelines – the approximate weight of 27 Steller sea lions – but there’s more where that came from.
This fall, our national clean-up effort – part of the Ocean Conservancy’s International Coastal Cleanup –will take place from Sept. 21-29.
Adopt a local shoreline as a site coordinator, or volunteer with
an existing cleanup – right in your own community.
Online registration opens in May at ShorelineCleanup.ca, or sign up today by emailing [email protected].

Spring is here — and that means the selection com-mittee for the Campbell River Art Gallery’s Annual Garden and Art Tour is looking for new gardens to share with the community.
The committee is looking for interesting gardens to add to a selection of longtime favourites for the annual tour, which raises funds for children’s programming at the Campbell River Art Gallery.
Any and all sizes and types of gardens are considered, from beach-front acreages to small city lots. Gardeners who would like to share their love of the soil — and help raise funds for the Campbell River Art Gallery at the same time — are needed.
Feel free to forward suggestions of beautiful gardens in your neighbourhood to the selection committee. They’ll tour all suggested properties in advance.
The self-guided Garden and Art Tour, sponsored by Royal LePage Campbell River, is scheduled for June 22 and 23 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and tickets are $16 per per-son, which includes a catalogue and map. A tour by bus will be available through the Campbell River Community Centre.
For more information about the Garden and Art Tour, call the Gallery at 250-287-2261, email [email protected] or drop by the Gallery at 1235 Shoppers Row. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, noon until 5 p.m.

The Comox Strathcona waste management (CSWM) service have opened the compost education centre in Campbell River (228 South Dogwood Street) on Wednesday, and in the Comox Valley (4795 Headquarters Road, Courtenay)..
The compost education centres offer a variety of free workshops on composting, organic gardening, conservation and lawn care. Their on-site educators are there to provide facility tours, to showcase the bene-fits of diverting organics through composting, to answer questions and to give helpful tips on maintaining a backyard composting program.
The centres are beginning the season with a variety of programs targeting different age groups and areas of interest. The Comox Valley compost education centre will be featuring a youth master composter training program for those between the ages of 13-17. Youth that have a love for the outdoors and the environment will be trained to be ambassadors, to encourage people in their community to start compost-
ing, or to offer support to residents that are already composting and may be having difficulties or need just a little encouragement.
This program runs once a week on Thursdays for four weeks begin-ning Thursday, April 18 from 4:30 – 5:30 p.m. and does require some additional volunteers hours to gain a certificate.
In Campbell River, the event season will start this Saturday with the compost education centre jointly hosting a mason bee workshop with the City of Campbell River at the Community Centre, beginning at 10 a.m. Guest speaker, Al Morton, will cover such topics as the lifestyle of our native mason bee and the importance of pollination, how, when and where to start to start your bee colony, and the building of bee hous-es, nesting boxes and nesting tubes. CSWM educator Elaine Jansen will welcome guests to the compost education centre and give an over-view of the programs that are being offered throughout the season.
The CSWM service also encour-
ages elementary, middle and high schools, and community groups, to make arrangements with our educa-tors to bring students or members to the centre for an environment-ally-focused and interactive learning session.
For more information on all the workshops and presentations deliv-ered through the CSWM’s compost education centres including this month’s features visit www.cswm.ca/composting.
The Comox Strathcona waste management service is a function of the Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) and is responsible for two regional waste management centres that serve the Comox Valley and Campbell River, as well as a range of transfer stations and smaller waste-handling and recycling facili-ties for the electoral areas of the CVRD and the Strathcona Regional District. The CSWM service man-ages over 100,000 tonnes of waste and recycled material and oversees a number of diversion and education programs.
Are you overwhelmed by the amount of plastic in your life? This year’s feature film at the Earth Week Film Festival might just inspire you to make change.
The City of Campbell River and School District 72 are gear-ing up for the annual Earth Week Film Festival on April 19 at the Tidemark Theatre.
The event’s feature film Bag it, is an award winning documentary that delves into the impacts of plastic on human health and the environment.
Plastic is everywhere and infil-trates our lives in unimaginable ways. In this touching and often flat-out-funny film, we follow “everyman” Jeb Berrier, who is admittedly not a tree hugger, as he embarks on a global tour to unravel the complexities of our plastic world. This single-use mentality has led to the formation of a floating island of plastic deb-ris that continues to grow in the Pacific Ocean.
The film also explores how plastic threatens not only water-ways and marine life, but human health, too. Film producer Jeb Berrier highlights his concerns about two of the most common plastic additives are endocrine disruptors, which have been shown to link to cancer, diabetes, autism, attention deficit disorder, obesity and infertility.
“Bag it is funny, inspiring, and educational,” says Amy van den Hooven, the Earth Week film festival coordinator. “I think that this film helps us recognize the importance of reducing the amountof plastic that we use and creative alternatives.”
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the film begins at 7 on Friday, April 19 at the Tidemark Theatre. Admission is by donation, with proceeds going to support student environmental projects.
Tickets are available on a first come first serve basis at the Tidemark Theatre.

Meet the Loeb, Bellwood-Behan, Klein, Millward and Seldon families of Campbell River. Five average families who have a com-mon goal and challenge – reducing energy, and keeping you entertained with their tips and tricks.
These families have been chosen to com-pete for 30 days in the City of Campbell River and BC Hydro’s home energy video challenge. While some families have tried to save energy before, for others, learning to turn off lights and turn down the thermostat is a whole new way of life!
At the end of the challenge on May 4, one family will win $1,500 toward a home energy retrofit, and a professionally-produced film will capture each family’s experiences learning to conserve energy.
To watch the five families tell Campbell River their energy conservation stories and learn how you can reduce your monthly energy, visit the Sustainable Campbell River Facebook page or monitor the 30-day journey on the City’s website (www.campbellriver.ca).

Power Down Campbell River – Meet the Families
Tips to help you power downWash Your Clothes in Cold WaterSavings: $27/YRWater heating accounts for 90 per cent of the
energy consumption of washing machines and washing machines are capable of cleaning with great results in cooler water temperature.
Also, when it’s time to buy a new clothes wash-er, choose an ENERGY STAR labelled model.
Turn off Video Game Consoles When Not Playing
Savings: $21/YRThis is an easy one: if no one is using the video
game console, turn it off.Turn off Your Computer When Not In UseSavings: $12/YROne of the most important actions that you can
do to conserve energy is turn off your computer, monitor, printer, and any other peripherals off when you aren’t using them. The idea that comput-
ers use more energy when turning them on and off is a myth.
Switch Halogen Torchieres to compact fluor-escents
Savings: $37/YRCompact florescent torchieres (CFTs) use 75
per cent less electricity and last about five times longer than halogen torchieres. A torchiere is a portable lamp that directs light upwards. Most of the light then reflects off of the ceiling and back into the room.
Turn Your Thermostat Down at Night When You’re Not Home
Savings: $46/YRSetting the thermostat back from 21˚C to 16˚C
at night can result in savings up to ten per cent. Also, you could consider installing a program-mable thermostat, which remembers to adjust the temperature for you.
The Campbell River Bottle Depot (CRBD) on Willow St., at the end of 16 Avenue in Campbellton, is happy to announce its new name, Island Return It Recycling Centre.
The Campbell River Bottle Depot is chan-ging its name to Island Return It. “We decided to change our name, because we are much more than a Bottle Depot,” explains Sophy Roberge, marketing manager of Island Return It. “We are a recycling centre where you can recycle your Electronics, Small Appliances, Paint Cans, Light Bulbs, Power Tools and other products at no charge.” They have four other locations on Vancouver Island in Esquimalt, Sidney and Duncan and another on Salt Spring Island.
They are the only approved Return-it Centre in Campbell River. This means they have to follow tight guidelines, requirements and have proper insurances according to the recycling programs. For example, computers, televisions and other electronics cannot be stored outside. “If you see TVs piled outside, you are at the wrong location. People can steal your informa-tion in your computer,” says Roberge. At Island Return It Recycling Centre and Approved Return-it Centre, all Electronics that customers bring are secured inside. “It is important to us to offer the best service.”
As of July 1st, 2012, the Small Appliances Recycling Program extended its list. Now you can bring your sewing machines, small exercise machines with electronic devices and power tools at no charge. “With having Bottle Depot as a business name, some customers did not know that we recycle much more than bottles and cans,” stated Roberge.
Also adding to their existing recycling pro-grams like beverage and milk containers, elec-tronics, small appliances, paint can and aerosol containers, Island Return It Recycling Centre is now accepting light bulbs, light fixtures, lamps and fluorescent tubes and there are no maximums. Furthermore, you can bring your kids’ old electronic kid toys. Any electronic or electrical toys including trains, car racing sets, cars and trucks with remote controls or ride on toys, video gaming equipment and consoles can be dropped off at your Recycling Centre on Willow St during business hours.
Campbell River Bottle Depot is proud and excited for the future as Island Return It. “We will still be your brightest, cleanest recycling centre in town!” For more information, please visit: www.islandreturnit.com or call them at 250-287-4224 during business hours, Monday- Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Pesticide Alternatives Pesticide AlternativesDo you have those dreaded dandelions growing out of your driveway cracks? For an alternative to pesticides try mixing 1 quart of vinegar to 2 tbsp dish detergent, and spraying on unwanted leaves just to cover. This will cause the leaves to burn. Monitor. It may take two applications before the plants die.
Make a natural fungicide:
· 1 tbsp baking soda· 1 tbsp horticultural oil· 4 L of water
Spray this on leaves to eliminate fungal diseases such as black spot on rose bushes, blight on tomato plants, mildew and rust.
Pesticide Disposal Options:Old or unwanted pesticides can be safely disposed of at Island Return-it located at 1580 F Willow Street.

B16B16 SPECIAL TO THESPECIAL TO THE CCAMPBELL RIVER COURIER-ISLANDERAMPBELL RIVER COURIER-ISLANDER Wednesday, April 17, 2013
Comox Valley resident Miles Olson is truly a unique individual. For the past decade he has been deeply immersed in learning and practicing earth skills: living intimately with the land on the forested edge of an urban environment.
While foraging, hunting, gardening and gathering for his livelihood, his life has been shaped profoundly by a desire to nurture healthy
relationships with humans and the non-human world.
Although living “off the grid”, he does not believe in isolating himself from regular society, feeling that change can only happen when others are able to see the benefits of living more self-sufficiently, having greater contact with one’s immediate surroundings and the natural world.
Miles will share stories and reflections from his unique experiences at the Campbell River Library on Thursday, April 18 at 6:30 p.m. His book will also be available for purchase, at $15.
This is a free program, and everyone is wel-come. The library is located at 1240 Shoppers Row; phone 250-287-3655 for more informa-tion.
