PROUDLY SERVING OUR COMMUNITY FOR 40 YEARS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRRORFIRST ISSUE 1971

PAUL RUDANCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Why should people in Camp-bell River care about a possible oil pipeline and tankers stream-ing into the port of Kitimat?

“The only thing in it for Camp-bell River would be an oil spill,” said Mike Holland, the federal Liberal candidate for North Island.

Holland joined up with Liberal MP Joyce Murray on Wednesday to support her bill to formalize the oil tanker ban on the North Coast.

“Is there or isn’t there a mora-torium? There never has been a law,” said the member for Van-couver Quadra, during a small gathering at Banner’s Restau-rant.

The news rattled Leona Adams of the Campbell River Estuary Protection Group who thought the moratorium on tanker traf-fic – for the North Coast as well as the Inside Passage – had some legal clout.

But, according to Murray, the federal Conservative govern-ment does not recognize an “offi-cial moratorium,” enacted by former Liberal Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau in 1972.

“We need it to be a law,” Adams replied.

But North Island MP John Duncan disagreed.

“I don’t comprehend the prac-ticality of what they’re trying to accomplish,” the Conservative member said Thursday during a phone interview. “We can’t sup-port it. I think it’s quite a back-wards move. It’s not consistent with the Asia-Pacific gateway and it penalizes the B.C. and

Canadian economies.”Duncan noted that tankers

carrying natural gas and liq-uid propane already come and go from ports in Kitimat and Prince Rupert. He said the gov-ernment’s objective is to ensure tanker safety and oil tankers would need be double-hulled to help prevent a breach.

Tankers already carry oil out of Vancouver and Cherry Point in Washington State, and in all the years, there’s never been an incident, Duncan added.

MP Murray spent this week touring Island communities to gather public support for Bill

C-606 which would “ban oil tank-ers on the dangerous waterways of B.C.’s North Coast.”

“I’ll need help with my bill,” she said. “The legislators need to hear from their voters.”

Murray is raising the issue now due to the ongoing con-troversy over the proposal by Enbridge to build a 1,170-kilome-tre pipeline to carry crude from the Alberta oilsands to Kitimat, where it would be transferred to huge tankers.

“Today’s tankers carry eight times more oil than the Exxon Valdez did,” Murray pointed out, referring to the Alaskan oil

tanker which ran aground in 1989 and spilled nearly 40 million litres of crude oil into Prince William Sound.

Last year’s BP oil rig explosion and spill of more than 750 mil-lion litres of crude into the Gulf of Mexico is a more immediate reminder of the environmental and economic damage oil spills cause.

“There’s always the risk of human error and technological error,” said Murray. “A major spill (on the North Coast) at the wrong time of year could foul beaches to the south end of

Liberal MP calls on public to support oil tanker ban

PAUL RUDAN/THE MIRROR

Liberal MP Joyce Murray is asking the public to support her bill to ban oil tankers on B.C’s North Coast. A potential spill, she said, could foul beaches to the south tip of Vancouver Island.

The city needs to “pare down” or run the risk of having to make some “mildly radical” changes, according to a city councillor looking at this year’s pre-budget figures.

“The only other way around this is looking at the level of services we provide this city,” Coun. Roy Grant said. “Citizens are going to be in for a real shock if we don’t reconsider. We’ve either got to pare down considerably or we’re looking at some mildly radical solutions to the problems here.”

Coun. Claire Moglove said reducing services is a balancing

act.“When you talk

about cutting services, you have to be careful you don’t cut out too much and become a city without a soul and that won’t attract new business,” she said. “While I agree to a cer-tain extent that some service reductions have to be done I’m of the view we have to be very careful.”

City staff already cut $1.803 million from the budget by reducing expenditures in five departments.

Additional cuts “will result in reduction or elimination of services which will directly impact personnel and positions,” said Laura Ciarniello, city man-ager of corporate ser-vices.

The city is projected to spend $35.89 million in 2011, a reduction of $1.5 million over last

year. But revenues con-

tinue to fall, leaving the city with a $1.59 deficit largely as a result of the Catalyst mill closure.

“The impact from Catalyst is significant,” said city manager Andy Laidlaw, and it’s worse than expected.

Last month, the city estimated it would lose $1.37 million in tax revenue with the shut-down.

But an additional loss of $350,000 in utility revenue from decreased hydro con-sumption by Catalyst has the city out $1.7 million.

To make matters worse, Catalyst tax rev-enues will be reduced further in 2012 by any-where from $250,000 to $500,000, according to Laidlaw’s budget options report.

At Tuesday’s coun-cil meeting, staff pre-

sented council with options it can take to help balance the bud-get.

Raising taxes by four per cent across all tax classes, with coun-cil reserving another four per cent increase towards the 2012 bud-get, was one method Laidlaw presented.

Coun. Grant would like to see taxation ratios altered slightly, to more evenly distrib-ute the financial bur-den between the tax classes.

Currently, 20 per cent of the city’s tax revenues come from business, or about $4 million, whereas close to $15 million comes from residential.

“My contention is that we share the load somewhat equitably,” said Grant. “Some businesses in our com-munity are suffering from the downward trend in our commu-

nity but a lot of citizen taxpayers are suffering as a result of the down-ward trend as well.”

Grant said he would like to see consider-ation given to increas-ing the business por-tion to anywhere from 20.5 to 21.5 per cent.

Coun. Andy Adams noted many businesses in Campbell River are hurting and doesn’t think it would be fair to raise their taxes.

“I don’t think there’s any room for an increase in the busi-ness tax at this time,” said Adams. “I think it would also make it difficult in attracting industry that may want to invest in Campbell River. That leaves resi-dential taxes or cutting services.”

The impact of a four per cent increase on an average home, assessed at $268,000, would be $39 which would gen-erate $508,000 of new

money for the city. An eight per cent

increase would cost a home owner $85 more and bring in $1.106 mil-lion.

Mayor Charlie Corn-field said he was not pre pared Tuesday night to go ahead with any percentage increases until council knows what they mean in real dollars to home and business owners.

Another option is to use a one-time $277,000 accumulated account surplus and Strath-cona Regional Tax Levy worth $611,000 to reduce the 2011 deficit to $702,000 but coun-cillors Adams and Moglove suggested it would be prudent to save half of those funds and put them towards the 2012 bud-get.

City council will dis-cuss the budget and make its final decisions March 28-April 1.

Vancouver Island.”Murray isn’t against

economic development on the coast, but a new pipeline and a flotilla of tankers wouldn’t be good for existing busi-nesses, she said. The pipeline proposal, if approved, would create

economic uncertainty for fishermen, fish farmers, seafood grow-ers, tourism operations and others who rely on the sea for a living.

Murray also noted that her bill would have no effect on exist-ing operations or on tankers carrying natu-ral gas.

“I consider my bill to be sustainable eco-nomic development,” she said.

Murray acknowl-edged there should be better environmental protection for coastal waters. In 2007, a decrepit barge took on water and dumped logging equipment – loaded with diesel fuel and oil – into the Rob-son Bight Ecological Reserve, located north of Campbell River in Johnstone Strait.

The area is renowned f o r i t s “ r u b b i n g

beaches” used by killerwhales. But is wasCanadian taxpayers,and not the companyat fault, who were sad-dled with the $2 millionclean-up bill.

Murray said her billfocuses on a “largerscale of risk” and isintended to avoid aworse-case scenario.She added that most ofher fellow Liberal MPs,as well as members ofthe Opposition, aresupportive of the bill,but it has only gonethrough first readingin Parliament.

“Bills don’t oftenpass first reading,” shesaid, as she urged thepublic to support hercause. “Our coast is anational jewel.”

Should Government Revise OurNew Impaired Driving Program?

Our new impaired driving penalties

appear to be getting the word out: drinking

and driving is not acceptable here in B.C. If

you do and are caught, it will be a long road

to travel in order to restore your driving

privileges. So be it, you knew that there

could be consequences when you turned the

key.

Yes, this is hurting the alcoholic beverage

industry. Restaurants and pubs are suffering

from a signifi cant loss in business as people

are either staying home to do their drinking

or are choosing to have only one drink with

a meal or even not having an alcoholic drink

at all. I’m sorry that you are hurting, but I

would not for a minute lower the legislated

blood alcohol or penalty levels.

The provincial government, as it should,

looked at how the legislation was working

and decided to review it. If I understand

the news coverage correctly, the Solicitor

General plans to expand the review process

for drivers who made a mistake to insure

that they have been dealt with fairly. Since

the courts do not become involved in the

fi rst instance, this is a reasonable action to

take.

If your life has been touched by the

actions of an impaired driver I don’t have

to tell you to encourage our government to

continue with their strong efforts to deter

drinking and driving. If it hasn’t, you have

been blessed. I hope that the actions of

government continue to insure your safety.

Two Campbell River students staying in Ishikari are fine fol-lowing last week’s massive earthquake and tsunami.

“We’re all abun-dantly aware of the situation in Japan but I can report that the Campbell River Twinning Society has been in touch with the staff in Ishikari and has ensured that both senior students (Jesse and Jessica) are safe and well,” said Coun. Andy Adams, a direc-tor of the Twinning Society, at Tuesday’s council meeting.

The pair of high school students, one from Carihi and one

from Timberline, are studying in Camp-bell River’s sister city, Ishikari, this year as part of an exchange program.

Adams said the local Twinning Society has been in touch with Ishikari’s Twinning Society and discus-sions have been con-tinuing as to whether or not the two students will be sent home.

“It’s really hour by hour,” said Adams. “We’re trying to get the most up-to-date information to make a determination but ulti-mately it’s the parents decision.”

Fo r t u n at e ly, t h e island of Hokkaido, where Ishikari is located, was not largely impacted by the earth-

quake or tsunami.“A six-foot wave and

minor flooding hit the eastern side of Hok-kaido but Ishikari was not affected nor has it been experiencing any rolling blackouts (like the harder hit parts of Japan),” said Adams.

Although Ishikari was spared, the same can’t be said for other communities in the country. Because of the risks, this year’s group of Young Ambassadors (11 students, ages 11-14) has had their trip to Ishikari cancelled indefinitely.

The city is sending $5,000, from the City Ishikari Reserve Fund, to Ishikari to distrib-ute to victims of the disaster as deemed appropriate.

Armitage said the Young Ambassadors will be instrumen-tal in the Twinning Society’s campaign to raise funds to aid those affected in the stricken regions of Japan.

Anyone who would like to make a donation to the relief efforts in Japan through Ishikari can visit society web-site: twinningcr.bc.ca

It was refreshing to see proactive democracy at a recent meeting regarding the future of the region’s landfill sites.

Campbell River’s dump is fast filling up and is due to close next year along with much smaller landfills on the West Coast of the Island.

That leaves Pigeon Lake near Cum-berland as the only viable landfill in the region, and that too will fill up within the next five years.

The problem of where to put garbage is one every municipality faces along with the dilemma: Not in my

backyard! That’s the message from some residents in the north

end of the city who don’t want the closed Elk Falls mill and its nearby ash dump turned into a new waste-to-energy facility and landfill.

There’s no official proposal to do just that, but the residents are understandably concerned after the regional district and our mayor asked for a consul-tant’s report on the feasibility of such a facility. And who can blame the residents?

The mill smoke and odour is finally gone, and now they face the possibility of a regional landfill?

Well, apparently Coun. Ziggy Stewart, who sits on the

waste management committee, doesn’t approve of pro-active democracy. He chided the Elk Falls opponents at the recent regional district meeting for spreading “misinformation” and said he wouldn’t be “pushed around.”

He’s right about the fact the committee should con-sider all its options, but his comments to residents were uncalled for.

Instead of thanking them for taking the time out of their busy days to present their concerns, he insulted them.

It’s that type of juvenile reaction to proactive democ-racy that should go straight into the dump.

Juvenile reaction should be dumpedOur ViewOur View

Not the kind of coincidence you want to see too much

We say: Residents demonstrated proactive democracy

Good point: ForestryIt is well known that the Coast forest industry has

been in serious decline for a long time. What is often forgotten is that the precipitator of

decline was the self-imposed burden of “Super-stump-age” and the prescriptive Forest Practices Code, whichwere brought in by the prior government in 1994 and1995. In fact, the average coast log costs skyrocketedup by around 80 per cent. The net affect was that wepriced ourselves out of the global market (especiallyJapan) and within a few years the disinvestment phe-nomenon began to unravel as mills began to sufferlarge unnecessary unsustainable losses.

Fast forward to the back half of 2008 and the globalfinancial meltdown almost destroyed what little lifewas left in the coastal manufacturing sector mainlybecause of the collapse of the U.S. housing market,which still persists today.

However, things are in fact much brighter today look-ing forward. One of the first most critical fundamentalsteps taken to fix the mess was the implementation ofa Results Based Code in 2004 (FRPA) which strippedout red tape and introduced reliance of forest profes-sionals to get the job done in the woods, not behinddesks. The other critical step was the introduction of afair market based pricing system for stumpage calcula-tions. Since then we have seen countless other positivepolicy changes which collectively have and will benefit

It’s the kind of coincidence you don’t want to hear about but what can you do?

If you’ll recall in my Feb. 25 column, I wrote about my own outdoor hockey playing memory. It was about playing in an outdoor community rink in Ross River, Yukon. I hadn’t thought much about it in the 36 years since it happened but the outdoor Heritage Classic was played in Calgary Feb. 20 and it prompted me to reflect on my own outdoor hockey experience.

Well, I was watching the Canucks-Calgary game on Saturday night and in between periods Ron Maclean of Hockey Night in Canada reported the sad news that the community rink in Ross River had burned down! By this time, of course, the community had an indoor rink and recreation

centre that came about, at least par-tially, through the efforts of locally-stationed Mounties.

The loss to that small First Nations community is tragic, of course. The recreation centre served as a diver-sion from social problems that are sadly too common in remote north-ern communities.

Genesee Keevil of the Yukon News (where I worked for two-and-a-half years in the late eighties), reported: “By 4 a.m., flames were leaping from the building, considered by many to be the heart of the community.

“Standing outside at minus 35, the community gathered to watch the building burn.

“‘Everyone’s in shock,’ said Doreen Etzel, who works at the general store. ‘It’s especially bad for the kids, they

lost all that hockey equipment and now they have nowhere to go at night.’ Above the rink, there was a drop-in centre where Ross River’s youth played pool, video games, watched movies and just hung out.”

Keevil later wrote: “And the arena – which was featured during Hockey Day in Canada – had just been reno-vated.

“Ross River’s RCMP detachment put hours of work into the rink, replac-ing the boards, grading the sand before the ice was laid, and painting the lines on the frozen surface.”

Hopefully, the community can get the facility rebuilt.

❑❑❑❑Meanwhile, speaking of rebuilt

facilities, my daughter and I took advantage of the free swimming on

Saturday at the recently re-openedStrathcona Gardens pool.

It didn’t look much different otherthan the family change room wasn’topen yet and the men’s change roomhad been moved to where the wom-en’s used to be and it’s smaller.

Which was interesting becausethese free days at the pool are hugelypopular and the pool is jam packed.I’ve been to some New Year’s Eveswims where you can barely find apatch of open water.

The pool is definitely the mostpopular recreation facility in town.There was a great deal of peopleupset about the delays with the reno-vation but that’s all behind us now.Makes me think of the old song, youdon’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’sgone.

us over the long term.Fortunately, we have

a Minister (Pat Bell) who has worked tire-lessly and strategically drumming up busi-ness in China for our lumber mills through numerous Trade Mis-sions to help open up an alternative market to the U.S. We have been able to increase our lumber sales to China dramatically province-wide to record levels as we participate in their voracious growing economy and demand for lumber for con-

struction and further manufacturing. This doesn’t result in hugely profitable businesses here, but at least many of our mills have been fired up or are running more shifts. I should mention that other countries are also very important for our wood exports, especially Japan, but they cannot fill the gap we are miss-ing from the important U.S. market.

The coast logging sec-tor has recovered a bit better because there is a very strong log export market to Asia,

China in particular. This has been a bless-ing as it has put thou-sands of people back to work. The spin-off of logging for export is that it also gener-ates logs for domestic mills here that other-wise wouldn’t be avail-able without the export program that can make

blocks of timber eco-nomic to harvest.

The coast forest industry has bounced off the bottom and is now beginning to slowly recover. We need a steady hand in government to let the economic activity continue to grow with-out encumbrances or

unnecessary costs. Our industry will never be what it once was. It will be completely dif-ferent and better. It will be reliant on vigorous second growth forests and will have more efficient harvesting operations and manu-facturing plants. And

soon it will have a new, younger and energetic workforce entering the sector in planning, har-vesting, silviculture, manufacturing, gov-ernment and consult-ing, to name a few.

For young people in Campbell River, I encourage you to look at the forest industry very closely as it holds promise of being a Sunrise Industry. With the wave of baby-boomer retirements sweeping through as we speak, you have endless opportunities to join the greenest and most environmen-tally-friendly major resource industry on the planet, right here on the coast of Brit-ish Columbia. It is the only major industry that can reverse the carbon emission issue because wood products store carbon while the new forests sequester carbon from the atmo-sphere, plus wood con-sumes the least energy of all of the major alternative products such as concrete, steel and oil derivatives – and as well it is a clean, renewable bioenergy source.

As the world’s popu-lation expands further, science and sensible environmentalism will drive us to use more wood. You can be a part of that future.

As the days grow lon-ger and temperatures rise, our thoughts turn towards spring.

And with the coming of spring, many of us yearn to get our hands dirty and start garden-ing.

If you want to learn more about gardening in Campbell River, you can check out a unique series of talks offered by ElderCollege.

The series starts on Thursday, March 24 and runs for six weeks. Each week a different gardening topic will be presented.

“Healthy soil, dig it” will launch the series,

Dr. Thierry Vrain, a retired soil biologist and plant pathologist, will talk about how to keep your garden soil healthy.

Dahlia bulbs are available for purchase at local nurseries and they come in a tempt-ing array of varieties and colours. On March 31 Rick Monchak will teach how to success-fully grow them in our gardens.

On April 7, two local gardeners will be shar-ing their expertise. Valentino Milan will talk about growing and caring for grape vines for wine. Jim

Dubois will be there on the same day to share his knowledge about mason bees.

Growing your own food can be tremen-dously satisfying and is also good for the environment.

On April 14, Lance Klaasen will talk about starting plants and sav-ing heritage seeds.

Do you want to grow fruit trees but your available space is lim-ited?

On April 21, Ed Coo-per will talk about growing dwarf fruit trees using the cordon

method (espalier) to produce high quality fruit.

To wrap up the series on April 28, Bev O’Sullivan will talk about preparing your body and muscles for gardening and how to work in the garden without injuring your-self.

These classes are open to anyone aged 50 plus. The cost is $30 for the series.

You can register in person at North Island College or online at www.nic.bc.ca/elder-college.

Campbell River won the Loonie War.

Powell River is giv-ing up the trophy to Campbell River in the second annual Loonie War to raise commu-nity awareness of trau-matic brain injuries (TBI) as well as support local TBI survivors.

“Thanks to the gener-osity of the businesses and organizations who allowed us to place Loonie Bins, those who allowed us to hold Tag Days and especially the big-hearted people of Campbell River we col-

lected almost $2,400,” said Jean Allen of the Campbell River Head Injury Support Soci-ety. “This money will all stay in Campbell River to support head injury survivors and their families and to continue education programs. We would love to be able to thank each of our amazing helpers and donors individually but that is not possible so we will list all the businesses that helped us on our website, www.crhead.ca.”

Local music lovers are going to get a spe-cial treat Wednesday when Theo and Unsung take the stage at the Paramount Music Hall.

First up is Theo a wonderful blend of beach, rock, reggae, and funk. Their music is masterfully played, and their rhythm sec-tion digs into your soul and will make you

want to dance. The group consists

of Nigel Nikolaisen, Gerrit Dooris, and Jon Carriere. Theo’s music is accessible and fun. They would be welcome on any stage from all ages to large outdoor music festivals. Nikolaisen’s voice is the voice of a classic storyteller, it’s warm, rich, and with a hint of rasp. Their

music is infectious and fun their upcom-ing album will be the perfect soundtrack to your summer 2011 adventures. Theo’s music has been picked up by local station 99.7 The River.

After Theo performs, Unsung will be taking the stage.

The reunion of the Band Unsung brings original members Todd Pimlott, David Tancon, and Chris

Marion back together after a 10-year hiatus. Unsung is proud to bring in new member Kyle Hilliard into the fold as their drummer without whom this reunion could never have been possible.

The band Unsung originally for med in 1998. They began playing at the People Cabaret stage on Mon-day Night Jam nights. The young men would rehearse all week and each week test out new songs, and new arrangements in front of the eager audience.

The soundman Buffy recorded Unsung live straight from the PA one night and the band suddenly had a demo tape in hand. They used the live tape to get gigs up and down the Island.

Unsung had the honor to open for Nickelback at Ani-mal’s nightclub. Chad Kroeger, the vocalist for Nickelback, took Tancon under his wing and the two talked about their dreams, music, the business, and performance. Tan-con knew right away that Chad Kroeger and Nickelback were going to become superstars but Chad had given him the secrets that he could utilize for his own band during the private conversations.

Now its eight years later for Todd and David and 10 for Chris since they’ve been on stage together. Unsung is reuniting and ready to bring back that power and mystery they were once well known for.

Two great bands for the price of $10. Two different types of musical energy Theo is warm, fun, and lov-ing, while Unsung who come on later is heavy, deep, melodic, and dangerous. There will be magic in the Paramount Music hall Wednesday, will you be there to witness it?

CAMPBELL RIVERARTS COUNCIL

Cut loose and join the fun when the Tim-

berline Musical The-atre presents Footloose next month.

Student actors and musicians will perform the musical adaptation on April 7-9 and April 14-16, at the Timberline Secondary School The-atre.

The musical was adapted from the 1984 film of the same name starring Kevin Bacon. Footloose is the story of a young man from the city living in a puritanical small town where dancing and rock ‘n’ roll are forbid-den. The protagonist Ren, played by Tyler Zandvliet, is from Chicago but ends up in a small town where dancing, along with just about anything else that’s any fun, is

illegal. And so he’s got to fight the local min-ister and plead with the town council for the high school kids’

right to throw a school dance and cut loose a little. The problem is the grown-ups.

Tickets, available at

Still Water Books or at Timberline, are $15, $12 for seniors and $7 students on the Thurs-day performances.

This is the time of year when thoughts turn to spring and eyes turn to the garden.

The frogs and sala-manders are on the move and the snow is melting (touch wood). Bulbs are popping up all over and robins will be bobbing along in force any day.

The Campbell River Garden & Art Tour selection committee is eager to build their roster of gardens for the tour which is set for June 25 and 26. Each year the committee looks for new gardens to add to outstanding favourites from past years.

The committee is open to all gardens that are a feast for the eye, from imaginative use of small lots to well-cared for rural acre-ages, and everything in between.

The tour is a great opportunity to share

your passion with both fellow gardeners and wannabes who delight in gardens and admire the devotion one requires. Are you ready to show your own gar-den this year? Do you know of a beautiful

garden others would enjoy? All suggestions are encouraged. The selection committee will tour properties in advance.

Proceeds from this popular fundraising event are used for chil-

dren’s programs at the Art Gallery. For more information call the Gallery at 250-287-2261 or drop by 1235 Shop-pers Row.

Gallery hours are Tuesday through Sat-urday, noon till 5 p.m.

Ocean Grove Elementary is receiving two

special gifts from a local carver.

Ralph Wilson, a local First Nations wood carver, chiseled out a killer whale in front of a group of students which he will give to the school to be used as a plaque.

He is also making the school a 20-foot totem pole which will bear a killer whale and most likely an eagle or thunderbird on top.

Wilson was invited to the school via the social media tool Face-book.

“A bunch of parents asked me if I would like to come,” said Wilson. “They said they’d like to bring more culture into the

school.”Wilson’s uncle, Allen

Chickite, came along to share stories with

the students while Wilson chipped away at his carving.

Wilson began carv-

ing 14 years ago after his cousin, Rupert Scow Jr. from Gilford Island, needed some

help with his own carvings.

He’s stuck with it ever since and has

participated in Camp-bell River Shoreline Arts Society’s annual wood carving com-petition for the past several years, starting out as a novice and working his way up to semi-professional.

“It’s been good,” said Wilson. “It’s relaxing and I got a niche for it; I love the stories that go with it and it brings culture back to

the community.”Wilson, who typi-

cally carves masks, totem poles and plaques, also likes to paint. He’s donated one of his paintings to the Cancer Soci-ety and presented a grouse mask to the Transition Society. One of his totem poles can be found in Quathiaski Cove on Quadra Island.

Bringing culture back to the community

On Friday March 4th, 2011 John passed away peacefully at home with his loving wife Anna & close friends by his side. He started his journey March 5th, 1942 in Owen Sound Ontario, where he grew up and made many friends while playing lacross, Hockey & racing stock cars. He moved to Campbell River in 1979. John was a man of many trades, glazier, fi sherman, pipefi tter/ welder and excelled at them all. He loved living on the west coast and spent many hours fi shing, hiking, riding his Harley or just enjoying all the area had to offer. In recent years he discovered how much he enjoyed going to Mazatlan for the winters.John leaves behind his loving wife Anna, son Steve (Jill), daughters Karen (Ed) & Krista (Brian), stepson Mike (Mai) and 8 grand children. He also leaves behind three brothers Lanny, Bev, Brent (Judy), 2 sisters Brenda (George) & Wendy (Gerry). His passion for riding has Harley and his kind & generous spirit won him many life long friends and he will be missed by all. My heartfelt gratitude & thanks goes out to all his special friends, especially Bo, whom were by his side throughout John’s courageous fi ght with cancer.No service by John’s request. A memorial motorcycle ride and Celebration of John’s life will be held in late spring.

It is with deeply saddened hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Anton Lodal Christiansen.

Anton (Tony) will be greatly missed and always loved by his family and friends; daughter Yolanda (Steve), daughter Carmen (Keith), grandchildren Rachelle, Kayley, Diego, and Jonah. In Denmark, Anton will be dearly missed by his sister Kaja Madsen, and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his sister Sinne Larsen.

Born the 27 of September, 1938 in Faster, Denmark, to Kristian Magnus and Anna Matthea Christiansen, Anton was raised by his father and stepmother, Marie Christiansen on a farm along with his sisters,9Sinne and Kaja. At the age of 18 Anton came to Canada where he started work as a miner. He settled in Uranium City, Saskatchewan where he met Joan Gibson, who he married in 1966. They had two daughters, Yolanda and Carmen. In 1982 he moved his family to Campbell River, and worked at Westmin mine (NVI - Myra Falls) until he retired from mining and started Anton’s Lawn & Garden Service in 1990, which is where he fi nished his working life until 2005.

He was a great, gentle, strong and intelligent man who was an example of integrity, honesty, respect and steadfast values. His work ethic was inspirational. Throughout his life, he was also an athlete, world traveller, teacher and a dedicated grandfather. He loved spending time with his grandchildren. His great passions were gardening and nurturing the land he called his home, and travelling the world. In recent years Anton travelled to Cuba, China, India, Turkey, Italy, and cruised across the Atlantic to Brazil.We will always love and miss our Dad.

Anton Lodal Christiansen was 72 when he passed away on March 12, 2011. A service will be held at Bethany’s Lutheran Church, Friday, March 18, 2011, at 1pm. In lieu of fl owers, donations may be made to World Vision in memory of Anton Christiansen.

Jean Margaret Lytle1921 - 2011

Mum left us on March 12 to rejoin her beloved Harvey. Left to love her and cherish our memories and her stories are her three daughters, Donna Lytle of Vancouver, Gloria (Ross) Barlow of Davidsen Sask., and Carol (Jack) Innes of Campbell River; her grandchildren, Chrystal Guildameister of White Rock, Cary (Valerie) White of White Rock, Erin Innes of Vancouver, Leo (Richelle) Decker of Ladner Ivan and Thomas Decker of Vancouver and great grands Conner and Capri of White Rock; her three sisters Elsie and Ruby of Vernon BC and Sarah of Edmonton Alberta and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins, her dear friend and companion Doris Moren of Campbell River and her special friend Dr. B Carswel.

Mum devoted her energies 100% to her home and family. She was a good cook and gardener and excelled at sewing and needle work. She could cobble together anything out of nothing in "gig time" too. In her later years her sewing machine hummed as she produced her many unique quilts and her wonderful blouses.

Music and travelling were mum's other great loves.

The family wish to thank the staff at the Special Care Unit at New Horizons for their loving and compassionate care of Mum and us in her last days and Dr. Carswel for his care and support.

A memorial for Mum will be held in Campbell River later this spring.

Happy travelling Mum till we meet again.

New counselling groupsThe Upper Island Assess-

ment and Resource Service Society is a not-for-profit employee and family assis-tance program that has been operating in the Campbell River, Comox Valley, and Port McNeill areas for more than 23 years.

The agency provides employees and families of their member organizations with access to counselling services.

They are now announcing two new counselling groups that are available to the pub-lic; Positive Anger Manage-ment for Men, and Couples Clinic.

Positive Anger Management for Men looks at how anger

is a response that activates when we feel a lack of control over ourselves, our environ-ment or other people. When left unchecked, it can be a strong emotion that ruins ties with family, friends, and co-workers, and destroys self-esteem.

This five-week course will help men develop more insight into their emotions and the thinking patterns that are creating inappropriate anger in their lives and offer them tools to deal with strong emotions in a much more healthy way.

Next Campbell River group starts on March 22 at 6:30 -8 p.m. Cost is $85 (plus HST). Call 250-287-2266 for registra-

tion details.The Couples Clinic focuses

on communication, connec-tion, and conflict resolution. Do you and your partner seem to be always arguing about something? Or, perhaps you never argue but feel distant, lonely, more like roommates. Here is an opportunity to change that.

The newly developed six-week Couples Clinic will help you and your partner; understand one another more intimately, meet each other’s needs, learn new skills, and enhance your love, respect, and appreciation for one another. Contact the UIARS for next start date: www.upperislandars.com.

Pe o p l e d o n at i n g funds to the Quadra Feral Cat Group can now get a receipt for income tax purposes.

With kitten season about to start, volun-teers will have their hands full trapping and fixing the parent cats and looking for adoptive homes for the kittens, who will also be spayed or neutered.

The Quadra Feral Cat Group (QFCG) has fixed more than 120 cats since they began their efforts to reduce the number of homeless cats on Quadra in March 2009, and many of these cats and kittens have been placed in homes. QFCG depends on fos-ter homes that social-ize the cats and kit-tens that can be tamed and adopted. QFCG is also putting out a call for more volunteers. Quadra Feral Cat Group can be reached at 250-285-3942 or by e-mail at [email protected]

3X7BC SPORTS HALL OF FAME

Help birds feather their nestsWith each

passing day, the

outdoor airwaves fill with ever-increasing levels of birdsong as our avian friends commence another breeding season.

In early spring, American robins and other backyard birds are far more interested in hauling beaks-full of dried grass than juicy worms.

Most songbirds build a new nest every season, using it solely to lay and incubate eggs, and raise young. Once the last fledgling leaves the nest, it is often abandoned, but birds may re-use bits and pieces for new nests. Eagles, however, refurbish their nests every year, resulting in some heavy, deep twig structures. One such nest, at 36-years old, weighed two tons.

Most songbird nests

resemble rounded cups or bowls, with twigs, grass, leaves or other coarse vegeta-tion chosen for the outer layer (dry grass

is in high demand come springtime, so for the health of the birds, avoid lawn chemi-cals). Softer materials like feathers and moss will line the cav-ity interior

for insulation and cushioning, and silky, sticky, stretchy spider webbing is often the glue holding every-thing together.

Providing an assort-ment of bird-friendly material is a simple way to encourage backyard nest-build-ing and involve the whole family in a fun nature activity.

Once, I watched spellbound as a neigh-bour ran about her yard tossing feathers from an old pillow, and lo and behold, a bumper crop of song-birds chose her trees

and shrubs for nest construction.

Wire suet holders or open-top plastic berry baskets make ideal containers to stuff with soft material like dog fur, horse hair, wood shavings, string, yarn, ribbon, cotton-wood fluff or cattail down.

Birds’ sense of sight is highly acute, and they’re drawn to bright colours. Try cutting bright fabric scraps into one-inch strips. Cut everything into 4-inch lengths to prevent entanglement, and nix dryer-lint, which hardens like

cement. An abundance of

trees and shrubs will provide birds with safe nest sites, hid-den from view. Simple nesting ledges made of scrap wood may attract robins, swal-lows and rock doves. Remember to fill an old garbage pail lid with mud which the birds use like cement.

It’s springtime, so let the little ones run riot and deck the yard with ribbons and yarn. The ultimate reward will be seeing how avian ingenuity includes man-made material when fallen

Chop shotJason Kennelly chops a shot at the Cowichan net during a high scoring affair at Rod Brind’Amour Arena last Saturday. The peewee B Tyees came up just short in the game, going down to an 8-7 defeat.

ALISTAIR TAYLOR/THE MIRROR

A Cinderella season has the Panago Pee-wee ‘A’ Tyees on the brink of winning the ultimate prize.

The Tyees travel to Aldergrove this week-end attempting to cap-ture a second straight provincial champion-ship, a feat that has never been accom-plished by a Campbell River minor hockey team. Head coach Paul Stapley, who guided the locals to the title last year, has a good idea of what’s in store when the four-day tournament begins on

Sunday.“I expect the Lower

Mainland teams that play in the Tier 1 division will be very strong,” he said, refer-ring to Semiahmoo, Burnaby Winter Club, and possibly the host Alderg rove squad. “The other teams from different parts of the province will have some very good play-ers but not the depth of the Lower Mainland teams.”

The Tyees face Semi-ahmoo in their opening game Sunday morn-ing in a rematch of

last year’s semi-final, which Campbell River won 3-2. They continue round-robin action Monday with a game against Williams Lake and then do battle with the Cranbrook Ice on Tuesday, the team they beat 8-3 in the final last season.

“To be successful we have to be playing our very best every game,” said Stapley. “The kids have come a long way this season and I’m confident we’ll have a great tournament.”

The Tyees certainly h av e m o m e n t u m

on their side, going through the Vancouver Island Tier 2 playoffs undefeated.

After beating Ocean-side, Port Alberni and Powell River in pre-liminary round play, the black and orange pounded Saanich in the semi-finals, and swept Juan de Fuca in two straight to capture the Island crown.

Tyees captain Sage Lim, one of two play-ers returning from last year’s squad, is also confident his team has a good chance of repeating as B.C.

champs.“We just need to

keep our energy andwork ethic up and notlose confidence if weget behind,” he said.“The coaches havebeen giving us a littlebag skate at the end ofevery practice to makesure we have the extrastrength to win in thethird period.”

If Lim and his team-mates are successfulthey will once againplay in the champion-ship game which is setfor 8 p.m. Wednesdaynight at the AldergroveCommunity Arena.
