Students may get suspensionsafter taking part in strike protestsSIAN THOMSON COURIER-ISLANDER
Some of the 60 middle school students who protested the teachers’ labour dispute Wed-nesday told the Courier-Islanderthey were threatened with suspension.
And things got worse when the RCMP were called.
They were participating in the ‘B.C. Student Walkout for Students’ which was organized by two high school students in Victoria, to protest the long-run-ning dispute between teachers and the provincial govern-ment. The two sides are div-ided over wages, class size and composition.
The group was joined by more students at recess and lunch, waived placards saying “We are not pawns, we are people” and they shouted “We want educa-tion” when honked at by passing motorists. They say they are angry at being ‘in the middle of things’ and having their educa-tion ‘ruined’.
Among the lost opportunities they are most upset about is the end of year dance, field trips to Vancouver and Victoria, and the
fact that they worked towards fundraising for these activities and have been told they are can-celled and any money in the cof-fers will be carried over to next year’s classes.
“We are the future of B.C., and I think we deserve the chance to
have the best future possible,” said 13-year-old Desiree Karton.
“They are ruining our educa-tion, no trips, no money, exams are ruined, and the high school kids will have to write their exams in the summer or they won’t get into university,” added
Cassandra Sloan, also 13. “We did the work and we get nothing for it,”
Student Shyanne Palmer said students are not getting the full experience of school.

How would you like to pay your taxes and make money doing
it? The city of Campbell
River is offering property owners the chance to make monthly contribu-tions — and earn inter-est — toward 2015 tax payments.
People can apply now for the new pre-author-ized payment service that begins in August. The authorization form is available at City Hall, the Community Centre, the Sportsplex and on the city’s website. An application form for the program, along with a Frequently Asked Ques-tions document is also included in this year’s property tax notice.
How does it work? Prop-erty owners submit an application for monthly payments to be auto-matically withdrawn from their bank account starting in August and ending in May. An annual tax notice is mailed at the end of May each year showing taxes due, less total prepayments and interest earned on
the 10 pre-authorized installments. The balance owing will be withdrawn from the bank account on the tax due date in July.
“By combining this pro-gram with the ability to claim the annual Home Owner Grant online, property owners no long-er need to visit City Hall to pay property taxes,” says Dennis Brodie, the city’s finance operations supervisor. “And being able to spread out pay-ments — and earn inter-est on them — is a con-venient way to budget for property tax payments.”
People opting to pay their property taxes through pre-authorized installments still have to claim their Home Owner Grant each year. Because the final payment with-drawn in July will be based on the taxes still owing on the due date, pre-payment customers are requested to claim their Home Owner Grant no later than June 15.
“After the first year, the program refreshes, and monthly payments are based on the previ-ous year’s net tax pay-able (after Home Owner Grant, if applicable),”
Brodie adds. “People will see the amount of the regular monthly payment for the next year on the annual tax notice, and prepayments start again each August.”
Pre-authorized property tax payments basics:
• Property owners may apply for the program at any time as long as their property tax account is current. All outstanding property taxes must be paid in full prior to join-ing the program.
• A taxpayer participat-ing in the program may withdraw from the pro-gram at any time.
• The amount paid will remain in the tax account.
• There are no refunds of tax prepayments under the plan.
• Interest rates would vary from year to year based on prevailing mar-ket rates.
The current rate the City would offer on this program is estimated at one per cent.
More details on the pro-gram are available on the City’s website at www.campbellriver.ca (under City Services / Property Taxes).

June 16 set for Area D open house,June 18 and 24 are advance pollsCOURIER-ISLANDER
The city of Campbell River will hold a pre-referendum open house on the proposed boundary
extension June 16. People are encouraged to drop
in any time between 5 and 8 p.m. at Ocean Grove Elementary (3773 McLelan Road) to learn more about the final proposal and referendum for a boundary extension and sewer service in the northernmost portion of Area D.
The Minister of Community Ser-vices, Sport and Cultural Develop-ment has ordered the referendum to be held on Saturday, June 28, with an advance poll June 18 and June 24.
The referendum question (with option for yes or no answer) will read: “Are you in favour of a bound-
ary extension to include a portion of Electoral Area D within the boundaries of the City of Campbell River for the purpose of connecting to the city of Campbell River sani-tary sewer service?”
Chief Elections Officer will be Lynn Ketch, who has been appoint-
ed by the province to conduct the referendum and advance voting.
Ketch will be in attendance at the open house to answer any questions regarding the voting process.
City staff are working to initiate the Alternate Approval Process for city residents to coincide as closely as possible with the referendum.
Another newsletter will be dis-tributed in the proposed boundary extension area to answer frequently asked questions and to provide information about the open house, referendum question, chief elec-tions officer and voting details, and the alternate approval process for City of Campbell River residents.
Details will also continue to be posted on the city’s website (www.campbellriver.ca under Planning, Building & Development).
“Are you in favour of a boundary extension to include a portion of Electoral Area D within the boundaries of the City of Campbell River for the purpose of connecting to the city of Campbell River sanitary sewer service?”
Boater, fi ve drivers caughtin impaired driving purgeCOURIER-ISLANDER
While responding to the vessel fire at Discovery Harbour Marina Friday night a police officer observed another vessel coming in to dock that had beer cans lit-tering the deck.
The operator of the vessel displayed symptoms of impairment and the beer cans were determined not to be impromp-tu flotation devices.
The 64-year-old Campbell River man refused to provide breath samples and is
facing charges of impaired operation of a vessel and refusal to provide a breath sample.
RCMP then took their search for drunk drivers to the street and on Friday and Saturday night five other impaired drivers were charged. RCMP say they will be con-tinuing to be on the lookout for drinking drivers and remind you if you are plan to drink or do consume liquor, call a taxi or arrange for a ride. They also said drinking and driving check stops will increase with the seasonal weather.

Students protestabout labour disputeContinued from page 1.
“We get no help at lunch, we have to go outside to eat, we can-not stay inside,” she said. “We agree that the teachers should get more money, they do a lot of extra stuff on their own time and even use their own money sometimes too. But we are mad at both sides because they cannot agree and we are paying for it. Get a fair agreement and don’t involve us.”
Jennifer Patrick, Public Relations for School Dis-trict 72, said police were called in one incident.
“RCMP were called by staff at Ecole Phoenix Middle School to respond to an unknown adult who was belligerent with school staff and acting inappropriately in front of students,” she said. “There was no violence within the group of stu-dents at Ecole Phoenix or any of our other schools. No students have been suspended on Thursday, or told that they will be suspended.
Hannah Matinelli and
Sarah John, both 13, said they were not allowed back in the school for the afternoon.
“The only way we are allowed on school prop-erty is when we catch the bus,” said Matinelli.
Carihi student Taylor Haight, 14, came down to join the protest.
“Our principal said we could walk out but would be asked to return to the class and if we didn’t we would be suspended. So there are not very many kids who stayed out,” he said.
The Phoenix students also reported that they had been told they would be suspended.
“It’s completely unfair,” said 11-year-old Mac Law-son. “We are punished for speaking up about the teachers and the government putting us in the middle so that we lose educational oppor-tunities and now they take another day away from us for complaining about that, for having our voices heard.”
Parent Diane Palmer said that she and other
parents ensured there was adult supervision for the entire day the stu-dents were picketing.
“The principal came out and told a small group of the kids to get back to class,” she said. “When they refused, and said they were not trying to be disrespectful but felt it was their right to stand up for what they believe in, she told them they had no rights.”
Palmer said parents were called and told to come down either to pick the children up or send them back to class.
“Most parents either gave verbal consent or came down to see that there was adult super-vision and the kids were fine,” she said.
“School District 72 understands the frustra-tion of students, parents and staff during this situation,” said Pat-rick. “The district, like students and parents, hope for a quick, negoti-ated settlement and the return of normal school operations.”
The RCMP and the city of Campbell River have formally announced the selection of a new Detachment Commander for Campbell River.
This comes after the promotion and departure of Inspector Lyle Gelinas.
Sgt. Jeff Preston is the new Detachment Commander.
Preston was chosen by a selec-tion committee consisting of representatives from the RCMP, the city of Campbell River, the Strathcona Regional District, and First Nations.

EDUCATION
SIAN THOMSON COURIER-ISLANDER
B.C. teachers are considering a full-scale strike, putting final exams and gradua-
tions in jeopardy.Their union, the B.C. Teach-
ers’ Federation, will hold a vote Monday and Tuesday, with the ballot asking whether members “approve of escalation up to and including a full withdrawal of services.”
A full strike could begin as early as June 16. There is a legal obligation to provide three days of notice before a full walkout.
“We need to put pressure on the table,” said Elaine Thompson, President of the Campbell River and District Teachers’ Asso-ciation. “Despite months at the table and compromises on our part, government has remained firmly entrenched — there has been no offer on class size/com-position limits, no offer on ratios for specialist teachers, no offer on preparation time, no offer on professional development fund-ing, and no offer on a reason-able salary increase that would even keep up with inflation. We need to demonstrate to govern-ment that we are determined to achieve improvements in these important areas of teaching and learning conditions.”
Thompson said the government is adamant that class limits or staffing ratios will not be part of the collective agreement.
“Teachers gave up two years of salary increases to get lan-guage on class size and compos-ition which was then illegally removed in 2002. This has been determined by two Supreme court rulings.”
“The proposal from the BC Public School Employers’ Asso-ciation, is, on evaluation, for a quick procedure with no due pro-
cess. And there are several other concessions on the table includ-ing one on the accumulation of sick days. People need to remem-ber that any provision negotiated in a Collective Agreement is the result of compromise — in other words something is given up to get something else. So when a concession is put in place, i.e. a provision is removed from a Col-lective Agreement, it means the members of the union are doub-ling their loss.”
BCTF President Jim Iker said full-scale strike action is not what they want.
“Taking job action is never easy and these decisions are not made lightly,” he said. “The vote itself [for a full strike] will apply pressure on both sides and hope-fully spur the movement needed from the employer to help us reach that deal.”
The union has dropped its wage demand by one percentage point, bringing the request into the range of 12 per cent over four years. The employers’ asso-ciation has been offering 7.3 per cent over six years.
Thompson explained that after another two years of zero percent, teachers would get five per cent over the following four years.
“So in eight years we would have received five per cent in increases,” she said. “With the
cost of living increasing at one to two per cent per year, you would be agreeing to a wage cut of eight to 10 per cent. The employer also wants to
institute a two-tier salary grid, with a lower wage grid for new teachers, which is completely unacceptable.”
The union said it is also pre-
pared to yield on seven other issues, including preparation time, benefits and teaching-on-call compensation.

Sherry Ferguson (Peterson), 49, has one of those familiar
faces. The 22-year Campbell
River resident and mother of four has worked in the service industry for many years and has been behind many store counters helping people with their purchases — at Pumper-nickels, Incognito, North-ern Reflections, and most recently the post office at Shoppers Drug Mart in Willow Point.
Her recent work was cut short two months after Shoppers opened when, after not feeling well leading up to Christmas, Ferguson was diagnosed
with Stage Two cervical cancer. By the time it was discovered, the tumor was five inches in size.
Friends Chelsea Pender-gast and Kathy Rae are asking the community to come together and help Sherry out.
“She had eight weeks of chemotherapy, radiation and therapy simultan-eously, and just finished a week ago,” said Rae. “She is very sick right now. It will be six weeks until she knows whether the treat-ment worked and put the cancer at bay.”
Pendergast said that because she was only at her job for two months before cancer, Ferguson does not have enough hours for employment sick
leave. “She has no
income. Her husband ‘Ferg’ is struggling because his mother died from cervical cancer so he is not well,” he loves her so much, they married five years ago and he adores her. It is scary for him and he wants to fix it but he can’t. They are struggling with managing the
finances. They are fight-ing for more than Sherry’s health, to maintain their household. She had to be away in Victoria for treatment for eight weeks. There are costs associated to that minus her income they relied on. They need our help.”
“This is a lovely, kind, sharing family,” said Rae. “We are open to any per-son or business who would like to do a fundraiser, or individual donations. Shoppers has been so great. Sherry and ‘Ferg’ are overwhelmed by the generosity of people so grateful.
“Our goal is a modest $5,000. We are optimistic that this small amount will make a huge dif-ference in relieving the worry that has been compounded on top of Sherry’s cancer.”
An account has been set up at the TD Bank, account # 90380 6432745 or you can contact Rae or Pendergast for other options and to receive updates on Sherry’s cancer battle at [email protected] or [email protected].

Micro irrigation for plants,and hanging containersSHAUNA LAMBETH
CAMPBELL RIVER GARDEN CENTRE
Even the most beauti-ful of hanging bas-kets only stay that
way with regular water-ing and one of the easiest ways to provide this is with a micro irrigation system such as a Raindrip Con-tainer Kit.
Most of our customers are a bit nervous about doing it themselves but soon find that it is such an easy system to install they wonder why they didn’t do it summers ago. I understand their feelings completely as I am fully aware that this kind of installation felt outside of my skill set but I too was impressed with just how simple it was.
The kit can be installed with or without a timer but if you like to be away
in the summer a timer is much more reliable than the kid next door. Let’s face it, the kid doesn’t garden and doesn’t real-ly know a flower from a weed (and don’t worry is also not reading garden-ing columns so will not have hurt feelings).
One of the best things about the Container Kit is that it gives you everything you need to get started but you can also add to it later. This means you don’t need to get overwhelmed in the details. When I first got started with my system,
I began with a very sim-ple drip system for a few hanging baskets.
I gathered the tools required, the Drip Kit ($40), a small hammer, a pair of scissors, a cup of hot water (to soften the tubing) and began the job. Fifteen minutes later I was done and I could not believe I had waited that long to do it. The Raindrip system is really slick. I’ve since added my deck planters to the system and a rose that grows nearby under the eaves of the house.
I could hook a timer to it if I wanted, it is just a matter of screwing it in between the tap and the beginning of the system but I don’t mind turn-ing it on and off. While it is running, I wander around enjoying my morning coffee, admir-ing the blooms on my baskets.

really need and on the other hand just taxing us to death, pardon the expression.
I am seriously making plans to move out of this beautiful city because of some of the moronic decisions I have witnessed in the last several years. That being said I totally feel for Mayor Jakeway who I believe has the right ideal but constantly has to butt heads with his seriously out of touch council members.
I just feel compelled to get a couple things off my chest in which I feel the city is charging me more and giving me less.
The yard waste totally ticks me off and everyone I talk to as well. Not having any yard waste pickup from May 23 to September is totally absurd and as a taxpayer this is one service that I feel should be pro-vided during that period even if it means a little extra taxes to provide the service. I personally strive to keep my yard and its surroundings neat and tidy and I end up with four garbage cans of grass and weeds weekly whether I like it or not. Most people would have something simi-lar and most people have no truck or no trailer to haul this to the yard waste site. This lack of service is a huge takeaway and nothing the city does makes me more upset losing this service.
What will it take to provide this service during the summer? Do we need a petition or a tax increase? Take a walk down many of the trails bordered by residential hous-ing and there is yard waste scat-tered everywhere once the service is
discontinued as witnessed last year. Seriously how many households actually have a truck or trailer to haul their waste away? I would say maybe 25 per cent and that means 75 per cent of your taxpayers have no place to take this stuff and there-fore no incentive to even cut their grass or pull their weeds. Can you advise what can be done about this issue?
The other thing is the monthly tax payments for the following year paying in advance. It should be the other way around if you really want to help people out. Do it like ICBC
insurance where you pay them monthly plus interest over the year. Basically paying in advance as cur-rently offered is useless.
Also I was out at the yard waste site this morning and there was a 10-minute wait to get in and it was a gong show. Little old ladies packing yard waste in the trunks of their cars. If it was raining it would be a complete mud hole in there as well. I am extremely disappointed in this city to cause this much hardship to all homeowners who pay ridiculous taxes for so little service. This city is all about taking away what we

NDP’s time for some serious soul searchingWe should be careful when
we point the finger, as the saying goes, because
there might be three pointing back at us.
Tuesday, the House of Com-mons Board of Internal Economy announced their findings that the federal NDP is facing the possibility of having to repay perhaps millions of dollars for sending out 1.8 million partisan flyers by 23 New Democrat MPs — including NDP leader Thomas Mulcair — into 26 ridings last fall, all paid for by the taxpayer.
The committee ruled that those political mailers needed to be paid for by NDP party funds, not by the taxpaying public.
The NDP came out swinging, hard. They referred to the com-mittee as a “kangaroo court,” suggesting this was somehow the work of a bipartisan Conserva-tive-Liberal plot.
However, the Conservatives and Liberals acted on the advice of
neutral officials, according to an “information note” put together by House of Commons adminis-tration, which was obtained by the Canadian Press.
“The board has determined that certain mailings sent by NDP members were prepared by and for the benefit of the NDP as a political party and to advance electoral purposes,” reported House Speaker Andrew Scheer.
Conservative whip John Dun-can, the sitting MP for Vancouver Island North who has announced his intention to seek the party’s nomination in the newly created Courtenay-Alberni riding in the next federal election, said: “We’ve been very fair. They should be accepting responsibility instead of impugning everybody else, including the Speaker.
“I do believe at this point that they should be apologizing to the Speaker, who they know darn well is in no position to defend himself. That would demean his
office.”It’s another black eye for the
federal NDP. The party is also currently in the spotlight for opening satellite offices outside of Ottawa and billing them to the House of Commons, which were supposed to help MPs with “constituent outreach” — even though the NDP has no sitting MPs in Saskatchewan, where the offices were opened.
The NDP fancies itself as the party of “the little guy,” vowing to look after the needs and wants of those who cannot look after themselves.
It’s valuable political turf, and an admirable position — if the party doing so can live up to its self-proclaimed billing. But how does the NDP look now, angrily pointing the finger toward a com-mittee acknowledged as neutral, while it refuses to bone up to what could be viewed as scandal-ous behaviour of its own?
If you want to stake your claim
to the high moral ground, you’d best be prepared for your day in the spotlight if you fail to live up to the expectations you’ve set for yourself. That extends to all lev-els of the political spectrum.
Whether it be provincial MLA Jenny Kwan, outed in March for receiving $34,922.57 in expenses from the Portland Hotel Society for trips for her and her family to Disneyland and Europe.
Kwan, who lives in a $1.9-mil-lion home while representing one of the province’s poorest con-stituencies, Vancouver-Mt. Pleas-ant, did repay the expenses.
This is not the time for the NDP, or Mulcair, to point the finger at a committee and respected pos-ition, which are the proverbial canaries in the coal mine, pro-claiming problems it finds.
It is time for the NDP to look in the mirror, or at the three fingers pointing back at them, and do some serious soul-searching.- Vancouver Island NewsMedia Group

My thorn is to the recent parking dilemma down-town. The biggest issue
is that the city is enforcing the employees to park in long-term parking. While I agree with that, has any one ever noticed that gov-ernment employees all have park-ing right in front of their building? Example, you cannot park any where for the day for the Quadra ferry but lo and behold they all have marked employee angle park-ing right in front, five steps from the ferry on both sides, and the government buildings downtown all have employee parking, so of course they would be the first to say no parking cause they all have their own! The next issue; where is long term parking?

A pond full of sweet roses to all the wonderful people who helped rescue 11,
two-day-old orphaned mallards at Strathcona Sportsplex. To the lady who tried contacting Moun-tainaire Avian Rescue, to the security guard who gathered the ducks and transported them to Coastal Animal Service. Then, in the care of manager, Ted Bye-lezen, he on his own time after work bought baby duck food and drove to Sayward putting them in the care of Michael Schmidt who rehabilitates orphaned wildlife. It feels good to know there are more people who help than harm.

A nasty load of thorns to our city council for their inability to take advice
from outside their conclave. Why, when there is opportunity to save money do they refuse to do so? $250,000 for unnecessary lights at Peterson and 14th Ave. is a big hit. Take a look at the corner of Alder and 2nd Ave, the four way stop has worked well here for a number of years. Just because you passed a motion to rectify a traffic problem doesn’t mean you can’t reconsider. Please quit throwing away my money.
Fed Up
A rose bush of thorns to people who use forestry sites as if they were their
own campground. There were two trailers and one fifth wheel set up at Dogwood Bay on Lower Campbell Lake with not a soul in sight for the entire weekend. The weather was beautiful and there were a lot of people driving around looking for a spot to park their units. You only need to look around town at all of the trailers, campers and fifth wheels to real-ize there are a lot of people who enjoy camping. I would think it is common courtesy to set up camp only if you are expecting to come out and use the spot and when you are done move on and free it up for someone else.
Unhappy Camper
Thorns is not the right wish for the disgraceful con-duct of the Clark govern-
ment and Island Health for the responsibility they are ignoring in regards to the community of Campbell River and New Hor-
izons. What have the laid- off staff, the residents, and the families done to deserve such a disruption of care for our elderly? Seems gov-ernment and our health system is content to let labour bleed out in negotiations. That money could and should be utilized in main-taining care and paying the staff who have families to feed and who, if paid a fraction of what managers make, would also be helping prosperity in BC.

It’s been a decade since the class of 2004 graduated from Timber-line and Carihi. The celebra-

Melanie Stapley (Chickite) put countless hours into some of the most tedi-ous work and if it weren’t for her I wouldn’t have even thought to organize the reunion. Thanks Mel for all your work and the odd kick in the butt to keep me going. Roses to Ernie Puglas for contrib-uting to the rental of the Thunder-bird Hall and helping set up — the venue was awesome! Thanks to Steele Stapley and Elliot Lang-ton for selflessly helping to set up the day of the event. Sara Shaw
and Djuna Field made monetary donations, which helped secure the future of the event in the early days when the tickets weren’t selling. Thrifty Foods graciously donated half of the food served so thank you Doug Riederer. Thank you to the Campbell River Masons for taking care of the liquor sales — the staff was friendly, helpful, and organized and thanks to Dave Storrie who was my main point of contact. The Masons had a tip jar out and all donations went to the Masonic Cancer Car — a free transportation service for people with cancer who need to get to the treatment centre in Victoria http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/text-files/cancer.html. The security by Footprints was professional and friendly. The shuttle service by 287-TAXI was on time and rea-sonably priced. And finally the grads of 2004 — thank you for proving that a lot can happen in 10 years so there’s no need to hold on to old grudges or dogmas and we can all just have fun together and see who we’ve become today. Because you all pulled through we met our budget and were able to give away over $1,300 in cash prizes. From the sounds of it we don’t want to wait 10 years for the next epic reunion.

The children, families and staff at Hemlock Family Place.
I would like to send a thank you to Campbell River resident and businessman, Allan Edie.
Allan has taken the initiative to cut several Scotch-Broom-laden areas (including some large areas owned by the city).
Scotch Broom is an invasive plant and noxious weed, and it is not indigenous to Vancouver
Island. The weed proliferatesareas and “chokes” out indigen-ous plants (the weed acidifies the soil so many plants can no longer survive in the vicinity of ScotchBroom).
There is only a small window of opportunity to clip the Scotch Broom while it is flowering (“cut broom when in bloom”). I inviteconcerned citizens to refer to the Broom Busters website at : www.broombusters.org for additional information regarding this weed.
One man alone cannot rid our city of this troublesome weed.With a community effort, together we could make a huge impact in keeping our city Scotch Broom free.

Lorna Hallstrom’s great ideain Wednesday’s paper is one of those ideas that make me
think “I wish I’d thought of that!”Of course the senior’s centre should be located in the old SuperValu building. It’s got everything(location, location, location) plusit’s already there! Hope council doesn’t drop the ball on this one!
Kevin Raftery
I want to congratulate Lorna Hallson for her brilliant idea.Yes, we should have the senior
centre in the renovated Super Valustore! It will obviously be muchcheaper than building a new one and the size should be just right.
A perfect way to save money and yet, provide the much needed senior centre. City Hall should be thrilled with this opportunity.

Once upon a time, the only actual and verifiable difference between ‘Old World’ and ‘New World’ wines was geographic. ‘Old World’ wines come from Europe, while ‘New World’ wines come from what were once ‘The
Colonies’ – Australia and New Zealand, North and South Amer-ica, South Africa as well as China and India.

When a m e d -i c a l
service is only available 40 km or more away (one way), you may be able to deduct the travel expenses on your personal income taxes as a med-ical deduction. For those of you who are Campbell River residents, Courtenay and Comox, which are over 40 km away would qualify.
Here are some tips to making it easier to claim this deduction:
Keep track of - Your appointment information, including dates,
times, name of doctor and what their specialty is. Many doctor offices will give you a statement of appointments
- If a driver was required- Keep hotel and parking receipts- Ferry fee receipts if not already paid using the
Travel Assistance Program (TAP) - If you use the Detailed Method, you will need to
keep meal receipts (if 80 kms or more away), fuel receipts and kilometres travelled. There is no need to provide these if you use the Simplified Method.
Your tax preparer can help you decide which visits qualify as a deduction. Remember that only medically necessary services that are unavailable in your area are allowed to be claimed.
As always, remember to keep the required receipts, and only claim portions that you have not been reimbursed for.

Old World versus New World whites…Karolyi Private Cellars is a family winery founded in 1990 in Hun-gary, affiliated with Munich-based Binderer St. Ursula Weinkellerei. They “…combine modern wine-making-techniques with centur-ies-old experience to achieve terroir-typical wines of world class”. Karolyi’s Dunavar Muscat Ottonel (651422) $10.99 features ‘dry’ candied lemon and pineapple aromas and flavours over grassy, herbal and lavender undertones.
Whether red or white, ‘Old World’ wines are generally made from traditional wine grape var-ieties that have evolved over years of cultivation to been grown in time honoured vineyard locations for centuries. Most often, they are named for the town, valley or region where they are grown. From the vineyard to the bottling line, these wines have come to be highly regulated.
From the French side of the Spanish border Domaine du Tari-quet Classic Cotes de Gascone (211029) $12.99 is a blend of Ugni Blanc (… called ‘Trebbiano’ in Italy), Colombard, Sauvignon Blanc and Gros Manseng. Clearly meant to pair with food, this white starts out very briskly, tart and lemony, fattens up on the tongue and develops some ripe green asparagus over a chalky minerality that softens into ‘dry’ candied melon as the wine opens up.
Usually planted in warmer loca-tions chosen for their ability to produce ripe grapes every year, ‘New World’ wines can be extrava-gantly and consistently luscious. Although they often pay homage to their ‘Old World’ predecessors in the deliberately chosen grape varieties that are cultivated and blended, ‘New World’ wines can be more experimental.
From the north east of Spain Campo de Borja D.O. Borsao Macabeo (594226) $14.99 has arrived. Seldom seen as a still dry varietal wine here in North America, Macabeo is the primary ingredient in most Spanish spark-ling Cavas. Leading with lemon and grapefruit aromas and fla-vours over dried apricot, the wine slides into a flat, ‘chewy’ vaguely vegetal mid-palate.
It would be oversimplification to say that ‘Old World’ wines are ‘dry’ - lighter-bodied, more
herbal, distinctly earthy, with mineral and floral subtleties. On the other hand ‘New World’ wines are expected to be riper, higher in alcohol, more full-bodied - ‘fruity’ and sweeter. Sometimes….
Spread around the twin seaside jewels of Naples and Salerno, the Italian region of Campania encompasses the beautiful Amalfi Coast and Mount Vesuvius as well as the island of Capri. Terredora Falanghina Campania (144790) $21.99 is a local specialty white wine made 100 per cent from Fal-langhina wine grapes. At first quite vegetal, the wine opens up into apricot, peach, lychee and almond flavours and develops distinctly fascinating notes of artichoke and asparagus.
Today the ‘traditional’ distinc-tions are much less clear. Eighth generation winemakers in France, Italy, Spain and Portugal are mov-ing into pivotal positions in their centuries-old family wineries after being trained in Australia or California. Young winemakers who grew up into the business in the Napa or Barossa Valleys take learning sabbaticals in France’s Burgundy or Spain’s Rioja.
Italy gives us Monte del Fra Custoza ‘Ca del Magro’ (216077) $19.99, a complex blend of a dozen wine grapes. The delightful result is a full-bodied dry white that overflows with ripe peach flavours over honeyed lemon drops with a dusting of chalk underlying the more obvious fruit.
A simply stunning white from Spain Jorge Ordonez Sierras de Malaga Botani Moscatel (839589) $24.95 is a magnificent and nos-tril-quivering white wine made from Muscat. Far from delicate, the fabulously fragrant rose-petal and mandarin orange blossom aromas and the tropical fruit salad-bowl of flavours, cut cleanly through luscious, briny oysters.
From Anjou, the heart of the Loire Valley in northern France Château de Fesles Chenin Sec ‘La Chapelle’ Vielles Vignes (736306) $25.99 is an unusually deep golden colour. Crisp, bright apple flavours slide into lime and pink grapefruit as the wine warms up in the glass.

CAMPBELL RIVER FESTIVAL
COURIER-ISLANDER
Make sure you’ve got your tickets for Aug. 16!”says “Rockin’
The Island” organizer Kealy Donaldson.
She says the show is quite affordable and the music is going to blow you away. Ten bands are on tap.
Previously known as ‘Rockin’ The River’, organiz-ers quickly realized that the event was bigger than just the River and did a minor name change to grab the attention from all corners of Vancouver Island. Tickets are on sale at www.tide-marktheatre.com. Adults are $70, students $50, chil-dren $40, three and under are free. The music line up is all-Canadian talent featuring headliner These Kids Wear Crowns with a high energy sound! Rockin’ The Island is featuring 10 awesome artists including Kuba Oms, who is second on the bill and is a do-not-miss performer. Well known for his hit ‘Electrolove’, he’ll be dropping a new album this summer and perform-ing new songs as well as favourites! Quoia has just been added to the lineup, joining the festival from down Island and Georgia Murray is going to rock you with her cool beats. Georgia is originally from the North Island and recently formed LIINKS who is charting 15th in Victoria right now! Don Amero is from Winnipeg with his soulful roots sound. Other performers include Brice Tabish, Campbell River Guitar Wizard, with new band Flight Behaviour who are rocking the Van-couver scene. Time Well Wasted from the Comox Valley is an outstanding 12 piece dance band playing the hits of your well-wasted youth. Then get down with the Bentwood Boyz, Who Is Barbosa? and Diane Pancel, who will be the M.C. for the 2014 Festival. Ten acts, 12 hours of entertainment, 11 till 11, from an All-Canadian line up.
The Festival site which is located at the CRIB Soccer
Fields, 1490 Island Highway, will be converted into a fully secured area with on-site parking for up to 900 vehicles. Parking on-site is $10, with security and fol-lowing day pick up. Camp at Thunderbird RV on Tyee Spit or along the Quinsam River at Elk Falls Camp-ground, a festival shuttle is running from both camp-grounds via Island Highway to the festival — FREE with your ticket and return after the festival. There are no in-out privileges once you’ve entered the festival grounds, but not to worry, everything you need will be right there.
Included is a Fun Zone with all day entertain-ment for kids of all ages – from Bounce-A-Ramas, sprinklers, face painting, games, rides and more, there will be lots of fun between sets too. Great food vendors from Mexican to Syrian to Asian, the Food Fair is going to keep you going all day and night.

10 bands featured in Rockin’ The Islandfestival set for Campbell River Aug. 16
Sue Medley and The Back Road Band to starin Comox by the Sea shellfi sh celebrations
COURIER-ISLANDER
Sue Medley and The Back Road Band are confirmed as the musical entertainment
for Comox by the Sea Shellfish and Seafood Celebration on June 21, as part of this year’s BC Shellfish and Seafood Festival in the Comox Valley.
Medley, an award-winning singer, songwriter and performer, has trav-elled around North America per-forming her Southern-style rock/roots music, known for being equal parts ‘tough and tender’, ‘sweet and seasoned’. Having been likened to such greats as Bonnie Raitt and Melissa Etheridge, Sue’s string of celebrity endorsements is impres-sive, as is the list of artists with whom she has shared a stage.
“I think one of my most memor-able moments was playing at New York’s sold out Madison Square Garden during the Tribute to Bob Dylan,” says Sue Medley. “Eric Clapton, George Harrison and Bob Dylan were just a few of the world-renowned and incredibly skilled artists and visionaries performing on the same stage that day — it was pretty adrenaline filled, to say the least.”
Despite winning two Juno Awards, five West Coast Music Awards and Two Socan Awards, Sue is a firmly grounded, down-to-earth, skilled and a creative musi-cian who plays music because she loves it, and always has. The rest of us are all just fortunate that we get to listen.
Having recently returned to her roots in the Comox Valley after living in the US for many years, Sue has been injected with a fresh shot of inspiration for her music, and re-energized by the supportive community, as well as her family and friends.
“Comox Valley has contributed immensely to the woman and musician I am today,” says Medley. The song “My Town” is her way of paying homage to the valley. “The Valley somehow still has that small town feel while offering events and activities on the scale and caliber one would find in a larger metropol-itan city. And there are not many places you can be at the shore of the ocean, the foot of the moun-tains with the glacier not far away, while listening to local and incred-ible music and eating fresh seafood and shellfish of all sorts.”
Attributing the majority of her musical content to her life experien-ces and lessons, Vancouver Island, the West Coast and Canada stands strong in many of her songs.
“It’s so clear to me now howstrong the ties to home can be,”Medley reflects, having happily returned to the same small town where she started.
Comox by the Sea Shellfish and Seafood Celebration with Sue Med-ley & The Back Road Band will takeplace from noon to 5 p.m, SaturdayJune 21 at the Filberg Heritage Lodge and Park.
Event tickets are $15 and are on sale now. Visit www.dis-covercomoxvalley.com or call 1-855-400-2882.

HEARING ADVICEfrom
Connect Hearing
Olga StolbovaRegistered Hearing
Instrument Practitioner
Why would I need a hearing test if I don’t notice a hearing loss?
Campbell River • 202-909 Island Hwy. • 250-286-1146www.connecthearing.ca
As with other health issues, it is important to identify hearing loss early. Hearing loss tends to occur gradually and many people don’t realize a problem is developing. It is often apparent to others before obvious to the individual. Early diagnosis of hearing loss means more effective treatment, reduced risk of auditory deprivation and better communication ability. A hearing test is painless and quick. It should be an annual part of ongoing health care such as dental check-ups and other routine evaluations. Make a complimentary appointment today at Connect Hearing with a qualifi ed Hearing Care Professional for a hearing test.

Campbell River is still home to the company’s Western Canada head office, while Thunder Bay, Ontario houses the Eastern Canada head office. Safety Net Security also has branch offices throughout Canada - from coast to coast. The company is still 100 per cent owned by its founder, President & CEO Peter Corrado, whose vision has turned a one-person business into a company with global reach closing in on over 1,000 employees.
Although now a Canada-wide, diversified security services provider, they haven’t forgotten how important it is to be part of the communities where they work. Their sense of fairness, integrity, trustworthiness and teamwork was honed in a small town and they bring these values and ethics to every job and to every customer they work with. Safety Net Security works in every industry, including education facilities, woodlands forestry, pulp and paper, sawmills, construction sites, mining, smelter facilities, fisheries, aquaculture, and provincial government agencies. They are extremely adaptable and all personnel are well trained. With a global vision, their highly mobile workforce can work with customers anywhere, under any conditions. Their customers continually remark on their ability to be proactive, visionary and nimble. Their motto is “You can rest... because we never do”.
Patrick Corrado, COO at Safety Net Security, stresses that the company has a sincere desire to give back to the community. They have been supporting the Rod Brind’Amour Cystic Fibrosis Golf Classic for the past 13 years, and wanting to help even more, they became a Platinum Sponsor last year. They respect and admire the efforts of Rod Brind’Amour and the CF volunteers who work so hard to help fight this terrible disease. Peter and Patrick are proud to be part of the Campbell River community and of their roots on north Vancouver Island.

here is an awesome responsibility attached to that
designation of being called “Dad”. And at the same time, it is also a great privilege. When we answer to the call of, “Hey, Dad”, there is a child who looks to us for protection, love, guidance, friendship, training, discipline, and so much more.
In Psalm 127:3 it says, “Children are a heritage (gift) from the Lord”. What a rewarding job. Being a Dad means that God has entrusted us with the
wonderful task of training children in the way they should go (Proverbs22:6). And when we have done our job well, we are rewarded with joy and satisfaction.
To be a responsible Dad, we have to rely on our heavenly Father to give us his help and guidance.We need the wisdom that comes from reading the Bible and taking time to pray and taking our children to Church and Sunday School…not just sending them.
It so sad to see so many single Moms who are left with the job of raising their children without a Dad, or with an absent Dad. God intended for parents to take duel responsibility for the nurturing of their children. Come on Dads - step up to the plate and be the man God meant you to be and take responsibility for your life and family. God is there to help us do the job honourably and right. God Bless you!

Samson wantswater back up
NEIL CAMERON COURIER-ISLANDER
Campbell River city council-lor Larry Samson wants city staff to check into back
ups for the city’s water supply.The current water providing
system will be replaced as the John Hart Generating Station replacement project continues. And Samson, councillor Ron Kerr and Mayor Walter Jakeway have gone on record as saying they want a back up to the new system if something goes wrong.
Samson said he wasn’t talking about having a back up system that could handle what the new system will, instead he was look-ing at a collection of possibilities.
“My intent is not to replace the existing water supply on a nor-mal delivery, day-to-day supply, in the event that there are inter-ruptions,” he said.
“Interruptions can be nature, it can be man made, it can be mechanical it can be for a num-ber of reasons. The options can be anywhere from collaboration with Quicksilver and their pump house on the river, it could be the old Willow Point water works, it could be a combination of wells and cisterns that fed our airport and could work in conjunction with our Homewood reservoir.
“I think it is important we iden-tify what is our minimum water
flows to maintain our critical infrastructure, our hospital, our firefighting capabilities, our resi-dential care facilities.”

The winds of change are blowing in Campbellton now and conceivably Campbell River’s original townsite could soon be looking like it did a
century ago.
Well of course not literally or exactly but yes the Campbellton neighbourhood IS going through a long-overdue renewal process now.
An early sign of that is council’s recent decision to proceed with improving the intersection at 14th and Petersen by installing traffi c lights and turn lanes and other associated improvements intended to reduce accidents and improve traffi c fl ows for the long term.
It is expected to be an increasingly busy spot in years ahead as increased industrial and commercial traffi c along 14th encounters increased passenger traffi c from residential developments along Petersen.
Other priorities include better crosswalks and lighting, putting unsightly power lines underground along the Old Island Highway and adding viewing platforms and possibly a boardwalk along part of the Campbell River.
In fact there are many exciting possibilities in the works, including installing a tourist information centre on provincially-owned land between the two bridges on the north side of Campbellton, and adding a focal-point
tourist-attraction like a model fl oat plane near the 14th Avenue intersection with the Inland Island Highway, which is increasingly becoming the main tourist and commercial access into downtown Campbell River.
Association president Brian Shaw received an enthusiastic endorsement from City Council after his appearance there on May 13 and was told by Councillor Ron Kerr that the CNA have been doing “a great job” and to keep it up. The presentation appears early in the video of the May 13 council meeting posted on the city’s website.

KEN ZAHARIA COURIER-ISLANDER
To say Brendan Hoff is in a class all to himself would be an understatement. Nobody in the province, and even across Canada, has dominated their sport in the past two years like Hoff. He’s ruled the 1,500m and 3,000m ever since he started to take his sport seriously ‘way back’ in Grade 8.
Now in Grade 10, running for the Carihi Tyees, Hoff added to his young already storied career with two more dominant gold medal performances in his two specialties at the 2014 BC Provincial High School Track and Field Championships held in Langley, Thursday to Saturday.
In his first event, the junior boy’s 1,500m, Hoff finished a full seven seconds in front of runner-up Island rival Joshua Bailey from Nanaimo’s Dover Bay Dolphins. Hoff ran a personal best in a blistering 4:01.38 that was almost five seconds better that his Island record setting clock-ing of 4:06.04 he ran two weeks previous in Victoria. Bailey finished in 4:08.67.
The next day, Hoff put in yet another personal best performance absolutely destroying the field of 29 run-ners in running to the gold in the junior boy’s 3,000m in a red hot 8:54.89, two seconds better that his record setting Island clocking, and an amazing 15 seconds in front of Bailey who once again finished second.
Two events, two gold medals and two PBs, no doubt Hoff was happy with his performance at Provincials.
“I was confident going into Provincials and was happy to win both races putting in personal best times,” said Hoff. “It feels great winning Provincial championships.
“In the 1,500m I was going to go to the front, but Josh (Bailey) sprinted out to the lead and I decided to draft
behind him. I stayed that way for 800m and decided the pace was too slow and then broke away from the pack. It was great winning that first race, it took the pressure off of running the 3,000m the next day.”
Hoff didn’t hold back in the 3,000m jumping out quickly to the front of the huge pack and building a 10 metre lead by the end of the first lap en route to the 15 second victory over Bailey and the rest of the field.
“I’m a lot more confident running the 3,000m, I was really happy with my time,” said Hoff.
Just how dominating has Hoff been in junior boy’s longdistance running the past two years? The numbers speakfor themselves.
With his two Provincial high school gold medals won on the weekend, that brings his number to four. He won the same two events last year as a Grade 9. He has also won two Provincial club championships, the Provin-cial high school cross country title and then to top the resume, Hoff has won two Canadian championships, one indoor and one outdoor, plus he has won three silver medals on the National stage. That’s 12 medals, nine gold and three silver, all won against high calibre ath-letes.
Over the next couple of weeks Hoff is going to chal-lenge himself even more at meets in Coquitlam and Langley.
“I’m going to be running against guys all a year older than me, it will be fun to see what I can do,” said Hoff with a confident smile. “I want to concentrate on the 1,500m to try and make Team Canada for the 2015 World Youth Games in Columbia. The qualifying time is 4:01 and I’m about that right now (4:01.38). I know I can get below that in the future.”
Hoff runs to two more Provincial titles
Another BC Provincial High School Track and Field Championship and another double golden medal performance for Carihi’s Brendan Hoff.

Yep, the weather has been great, the trail and road conditions are about as good as they get and there are more and more cyclists out every day.
It’s awesome to see so many people out enjoy-
ing a good pedal.Many of the cyclists I see are new riders or riders who have just
pulled their bikes off the hook after the off season, so I thought I would touch on a few things to help keep your ride fun and safe.
• If you’re just getting the bike rolling for the season, drop it off at your local shop for a quick once over or a basic tune up. A few little tweaks and adjustments can save you lots of grief throughout the summer.
• Get some advice on bike fit. Being in the wrong position while rid-ing can cause discomfort or even injury. A quick 15 minute consult at your bike shop can make a world of difference.
• Prepare yourself for a flat tire...It can happen anywhere, so having a spare tube, tire irons and a pump can prevent a long walk home, or that shameful call to your spouse.
• Carry a map. If you’re not familiar with the trail network it’s easy to get turned around in the woods, but a map will keep you on track.
• Look into proper cycling gear. Cycling gloves, riding jersey, or stiffer shoes can prevent all sorts of discomfort...And padded cycling shorts will be the difference between riding every day, or wincing every time you sit down at work.
• Check your air pressure. It should be 25 to 30 psi for trail riding and 80-120 psi for road bikes are good rules of thumb. There will be markings on the sidewall indicating the minimum and maximum pressures for your tires.
• And wear a helmet, they save lives!!!This Week’s Swicked Tip: Helmets..15 years ago they were too hot,
too heavy and cumbersome. These days they are light weight, loaded with air vents and the fit systems offer so much comfort that most riders forget they have a helmet on.
Seems like a no brainer, but in the last few days I have seen some interesting scenarios. A couple families with kids all decked out in helmets, but parents without...one rider I see several times a week who went to the trouble and expense of buying a high end helmet, but doesn’t do up the strap, and this one is my favourite, one fellow who is obviously concerned with safety since he wears a full, highly visible safety vest, but doesn’t bother with a helmet. I guess if he does crack his head at least the ambulance attendant will be able to find him.
I am not trying to lecture, but just inform everyone that hel-mets have come a long way and they are comfortable, sleek and inexpensive.
I’m James Durand and I’m Goin’ Ridin’.

Move over Storey Creek Men’s Club veterans here come the kids!
Sporting close to 200 members, the Storey Creek junior program is arguably the biggest and best in the province.
Some of those juniors showed the veterans just how good they have become because of the top notched junior program, with 12-year-old Chris Johnson carding low net in men’s club play last Wednesday with an even par 36. Two shots back in second place, at 38, was another junior mem-ber Derek Murray. Murray, 18, also qualified for the BC Junior Amateur championship this past weekend by shooting a 75 and 76 at Pheasant Glen to place fifth.
Wily veteran Al McDougall placed first on the high side Wed-
nesday with a 39. Dr. Richard Cronk placed first low net on the high side with ‘Captain Spread-sheet’, John McCormac, finish-ing first low net on the low side.
The Coast Discovery Inn won the team game thanks to Kris Bauchman, Cronk, Dale McLoughlin and Jon Walker. Shoppers Drug Mart came in sec-ond and Chan Nowosad Boates placed third.
Chris Roper won the Haida Liquor Store KP on No. 7 and Murray won the KP on No. 5.
Ray Dagenais crossed off Geoff Hancock’s name on the long drive sheet to take the Chinook long drive and Lawrence Renaud won the Coastal Eyecare long drive. Dan Bettenson won the Property Guy’s long drive on No. 9 and Karl Edrup famously won the Coastal Mountain Fuels Explosion Award.

For 19 years Rod Brind’Amour, former captain and current assistant coach of the NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes, has been returning to his hometown of Campbell River to support a cause near and dear to his heart helping raise money to find a cure for cystic fibrosis by hosting the Rod Brind’Amour Cystic Fibrosis Golf Classic, Dinner and Auc-tion. The 19th annual runs Sat-urday, June 14 at Storey Creek Golf Club and the Sportsplex.
During those 19 years the median age of survival for someone with cystic fibrosis in Canada has risen by 24 years – to 48 years of age.
“This dramatic improvement has been made possible by the incredible support of people like Rod and the sponsors and indi-viduals who have been supporting this event for many years,” said Todd Peachey, chair of the CF golf committee.
For the third year in a row Rod will be joined by a very caring
and benevolent NHL star, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins who plays for the Edmonton Oil-ers. Ryan has brought new interest and excitement to the event. While Rod and Ryan may play and work for differ-ent teams, when it comes to cystic fibrosis their goal is the same – to find a cure.
“The golf portion of the event is sold out, however there are a few dinner tickets left - it is always an entertain-ing evening and a great oppor-tunity to join Rod and Ryan in supporting the CF cause,” said Grant Stewart, co-chair of the event. Dinner tickets are avail-able at $45 each by calling Bev at 250-287-8600.
The entire CF chapter is very grateful for the support of platinum sponsors including RBC Dominion Securities, Campbell River Kinsmen, Steve Marshall Ford, Thrifty Foods, Seymour Pacific Development, Thrifty Foods, Ed Rosse Plumbing & Heating, Safety Net Security, and media sponsor the Courier-Islander Newspaper.

Applications are being accepted now!
Please note that the intake deadline is July 18, 2014.

No more waiting in line or paying property taxes in one lump sum each July.
City of Campbell River property owners can now make monthly contributions – and earn interest – toward 2015 tax payments.
Apply now for the new pre-authorized payment service that begins in August.
An application form and program details are included in this year’s property tax notice and posted on the City’s website (www.campbellriver.ca under City Services / Property Taxes). Or pick up a paper copy from City Hall, the Community Centre or Sportsplex.
How does it work? Property owners have monthly payments automatically withdrawn from their bank account starting in August and ending in May. The annual tax notice mailed at the end of May shows taxes due, less total pre-payments and interest earned on the 10 installments. The balance owing is withdrawn from the bank account on the tax due date in July.
Arrange for pre-authorized payments and claim your Home Owner Grant online at the City’s website (www.campbellriver.ca) and there’s no need to visit City Hall at tax time.
Property tax payments just got easier: sign up for
pre-authorized payments in 2015
No matter how you pay your property taxes, remember to claim your
Home Owner Grant each year.
