Pole plant noise to be reduced, not elminated KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Sound modifications on the noisy Duncan Bay Road pole peeler are nearing completion but neighbours should still expect to hear some noise once they’re done. Ross Blackwell, the city’s land use manager, said the city directed the owner, Northern Pressure Treated Wood, to install sound abatement measures including tunnels and vinyl curtains, because the peeler was in violation of the city’s nuisance bylaw. The goal is to bring the noise down, not eliminate the sound all together. “It doesn’t mean the sound will go away, it will still be there but Continued on A3 ALISTAIR TAYLOR/THE MIRROR

Pole plant: City says the development permit was issued correctly Continued from A1 it has to be reduced to acceptable industry standards,” Blackwell said. “People will still hear the industrial operation but it will be quieter and meet the standard that exists in other communities.” Critics of the pole peeler, most notably Tracey Deller who co-owns Blue Spruce Home Park next door to the plant, say the pole peeler should never

have been approved in the first place. Deller maintains the city incorrectly issued a development permit to the owner and the plant is operating illegally. At a council meeting June 12, Deller noted the Local Government Act requires development permit applications to include “information of the anticipated impact of the proposed activity or development on

the community” and all submissions must include a completed application and a written statement of intent, including how it will benefit the surrounding neighbourhood. Deller said she was told by the city’s land use department that not all of the required application information is always collected, and sometimes a permit is issued with only the application

form filled out. But Blackwell said the city has done everything right and followed what’s laid out in the Local Government Act. The pole peeler plant falls under the Form, Character and Performance Development Permit Area – one of nine city permit areas a development can trigger – because it’s an industrial operation. That type of permit requires the

city to look at how the operation will impact or benefit the existing neighbourhood based solely on aesthetics. “In the case of the pole peeler plant, form and character does not extend to the degree and nature of sound generated by the property,” Blackwell said.

The old location on the river at the Campbell River Lodge. “We’re excited about it because we felt that it was time to really look at our duck dip and really focus it as a family event,” Gillis said. The newly-coined Duck Dip will raise funds for the new water park as well as make a connection between the Centennial Pool and the community. Centennial Park is

family fun day,” Gillis said. Locating it at the outdoor pool and adjacent Centennial Park, allows for the Rotarians to plan numerous fun activities at the event site. There will be face painting, bouncea-ramas, fish pond, petting zoo, hockey shoot as well as a barbecue and much more. The Rotarians decided it was time for a change for the race.

more central for all Campbell Riverites to access. It is expected the new water park will be operating by the time the Duck Dip is held. The public can still buy a duck but this time they will be dumped into the pool by a crane and celebrity dippers will use specially-designed dip nets and pull out the winning ducks. The prizes include a $5,000 in cash first

Drive Smart BC Four Seconds for Safety There were many “ifs” in the 1.5 second standard perception/reaction time that I used when conducting the analysis of a highway collision. If the driver was paying attention, if the driver realized what he was seeing, if the driver reacted appropriately, if the driver...that’s a lot of ifs. For many driving situations it is likely far more appropriate to consider 3 or 4 seconds, not 1.5. Perhaps the most recognized time dependent perception/reaction consideration when driving is following distance. Everyone should be familiar with the Two Second Rule and the encouragement to extend it to 3 or 4 seconds for anything but ideal driving conditions. It’s not that difficult to do and one day you might be glad that you made a habit of it. Where else could this apply in your daily drive? Let’s consider signaling a lane change. If signals are used at all, it is often one blink after the vehicle starts to move toward the adjacent lane, one blink as it crosses over the white line and one blink as it takes up residence in the chosen lane. All that really tells surrounding traffic is what you did, not what you are going to do. Three to four seconds of signal before your vehicle starts to move laterally will insure drivers around you perceive that something is going to happen, decide how it is going to affect them and if necessary give them time to react and avoid a collision if you are making a mistake.

Replacement site for hazardous Cortes Island Library sought KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Vancouver Island Regional Library is looking for space for a new library on Cortes after its Manson’s Hall building was deemed a safety hazard and closed to the public. On May 4 the Cortes library was shut down without notice pending a safety report on the mezzanine housing the library. The structural e n g i n e e r ’s r e p o r t came back to Vancouver Island Regional Library, which operates the Cortes branch, weeks later with bad news. “The opinion of the author of the report...

is that the second floor area of the Manson’s Community Centre is not suitable for occupancy as a library area,” said Rosemary Bonanno, executive director of Vancouver Island Regional Library. Ronna-Rae Leonard, chair of the regional library board, said the problem is the weight of the books the floor was supporting. “People don’t realize the weight of books and we have a duty to protect the public,” said Leonard in May after a decision was made to close the library doors. “If we’re told there’s a risk, we have to do something about it.”

Books were removed from the library and have been kept in a truck on site ever since. But Cortes Islanders can only check out books by requesting them through Vancouver Island Regional Library’s online system via computer or mobile device using VIRLMobile. To make things a bit easier, Vancouver Island Regional Library announced Tuesday it has found a temporary holds pickup location on Cortes where customers are able to pick up materials they have put on hold as well as return materials. The temporary holds

pickup will be located in the Cortes Island School (950 Beasley Road) in Manson’s Landing thanks to a lease ag reement between the regional library and School District 72. The service will be open for business starting Mon., July 16. Hours of operation will be Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 1-5 p.m. The location is expected to remain in operation until there is a new library on Cortes. Vancouver Island Re g i o n a l L i b r a r y re c e n t ly i s s u e d a Request for Proposals for a space of 660 to 2,750 square feet for a

new library. The deadline for proposals is July 31 and request for proposal evaluations and site visits will take place Aug. 2-15. The Vancouver Island Regional Library board will review the recommendations made by staff, vote on the successful respondent, and notify him or her by Sept. 28. Vancouver Island Regional Library had been in negotiations with the Souther n Cortes Community Association since 2010 to find a new temporary location but the association’s proposal two months ago fell through and talks ceased.

City running out of room for memorial landmarks KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The city is recommending changes to its Legacy Landmarks program that could mean memorials are

taken down after a certain amount of years. The program offers individuals and organizations the chance to make a donation to purchase benches or picnic tables in memory of a loved one.

The memorials are installed in parks and along trails but space is running out. “At this point, the program has reached its capacity with a wait list of 59 people for memorial items,”

said Ross Milnthorp, the city’s general manager of parks, recreation and culture. “To date, 136 benches and 52 picnic tables have been installed and the provision of this parks furniture has greatly

enhanced the community, providing places to sit and relax.” Several of the benches and picnic tables can be found along the Sea Walk and in Dick Murphy Park. Continued on A5

Council hesitant to enact pesticide ban KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

City council is not ready to commit to a five-year-old initiative to restrict the use of pesticides. Council was asked by city staff at last week’s council meeting to reaffirm an old resolution to develop a bylaw that would control the cosmetic use of pesticides on both public and private lands within the city. The new law would have regulated the use of pesticides on outdoor trees, shrubs, flowers, ornamental plants and turf. The city’s Environmental Advisory Commission first recommended the bylaw in the fall of 2007 based

on strong public and community organization support for pesticide control. Following the recommendation, the city purchased a pesticide awareness service, Nature Works, which helped people choose alter natives to pesticides. That service ran from 2008-2009 but was no longer available in 2010. At that time, staff prepared a draft pesticide bylaw and provided pesticide awareness information on the city website. But since then, there has been no official direction from council. A staff report to council last week recommended council move forward with the pesticide bylaw despite findings from a pro-

vincial gover nment special committee on pesticides. “The majority of the committee concluded that currently there is insufficient environmental or healthrealted evidence to warrant a province-wide ban on the cosmetic use of pesticides,” said Terri Martin, the city’s environmental co-ordinator, and Amber Zirnhelt, city sustainability manager, in their report to council. “The minority concluded that there is sufficient scientific evidence available for a province-wide ban.” Although the province-wide ban was not recommended, 40 communities including the Comox Valley, Nanaimo, Qualicum

Beach, Tofino, Saanich and Victoria have their own pesticide bylaws. City staff said a pesticide bylaw makes sense for Campbell River too as it “supports current city policies and aligns with the recent recommendations to reduce unnecessary pesticide use.” Ron Neufeld, the city’s manager of general operations, recommended creating a working group to develop the bylaw and help raise awareness. “It’s intended to minimize the impacts of the internal organizations and external businesses that rely on the application of pesticides,” Neufeld said. “So when the bylaw is in place, the business community

is prepared and able to adjust seamlessly.” Coun. Andy Adams thought the committee would be a waste of time. “I look at the report and it talks about setting up a stakeholders group,” Adams said. “That takes staff time.

was hesitant to discuss such a policy at last week’s council meeting and elected to move the discussion to the next Committee of the Whole meeting. “This particular issue is very sensitive to citizens who have lost a loved one and I’d like council to have the chance to talk about it

at the Committee of the Whole and with citizens who purchased these benches,” said Coun. Larry Samson. The program, which began in 2001, is also becoming costly for the city. “Due to rising costs the city has had to subsidize the program to a greater degree than it

has in the past,” said Milnthorp, who noted the purchase, delivery and installation of park benches and picnic tables has increased since 2001. “Staff is recommending that rates are increased to better reflect current costs and reduce taxpayer investment in the program.”

Mazda gets bigger and better KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Coastline Mazda has grown up and moved out. T h e d e a l e r s h i p, owned by Steve Marshall Motors, left its Willow Point home last month for greener pastures. Mazda re-located to a bigger and better lot in the north end of town after it outgrew its facility across from Frank James Park. “It’s an old, tired and very crowded facility,” Tom Dishlevoy, architect of the new Mazda building, told city council at a meeting last October.

months and Mazda is thriving at its new Island Highway location between Park and Woodburn roads. “We’re seeing a lot more customers coming in. It’s a lot busier,” said Karl Ebdrup, manager of Coastline

Mazda. “I think we’re in a better location now and having a shiny, new building helps.” The facility boasts a beach theme in a nod to its Coastline name. Landscaping includes dune grass, driftwood, silver burweed and

The building is designed with aluminum paneling and grass to provide a varied facade. “It’s set on a slope slightly raised from the highway and we thought ‘why not create a replica beach, so when drivers are going down the highway they can look up and see the noses of all the cars peeking through beach grasses,’” Dishlevoy said. The new building is also much larger, with most of the space designated to vehicle parking. The property is 2.2 acres, while the Willow Point lot – which

was leased to Mazda – was just under one acre. The building is 512.9 metres squared in total floor area and 4.5 metres high. “We’ve been able to quadruple our inventory because we have a lot more space,” Ebdrup said. “Things are going very well.” The dealership opened its new store about two weeks ago and a grand opening is set for July 21. Mazda secured a building permit for its new facility in mid-October of last year. City staff felt the new building would enhance the northern end of the city.

Vancouver Island housing sales activity dips in June Multiple Listing Service (MLS) sales summary data released by the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board (VIREB) shows housing sales activity across Vancouver Island recorded a drop in unit sales last month as compared to a year ago while average prices remain virtually unchanged. Across VIREB’s coverage area in June average sales prices dipped incrementally over what was recorded in June 2011. The average sales price of a single family home sold within the VIREB region in June was $341,864 down slightly from the June 2011 average price of $343,456. The number of unit sales (on a year to year basis) dropped 11 per cent. In June 2011 409 single family homes were sold, in comparison 364 unit sales were recorded in June 2012. There was also a modest decrease (8 per cent) in the number of homes listed last month as compared to June 2011. “Prices remain relatively flat and the overall economic activity has become a little slower,” explained Cameron Muir, Chief Economist with the British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA). “But if you look at the numbers based on sales transactions recorded during the first six months of the year you can see that we’re looking at activity and prices that have been pretty stable throughout 2012. Stability and consistency have to be the only way to accurately describe the real estate marketplace on Vancouver Island.” As of the end of June 2012 there were 3,353 single family homes available on the MLS within VIREB’s coverage area, up approximately five per cent from the 3,183 homes in the system at the end of June 2011. In June there were 818 homes listed on the MLS system, down eight per cent from the 887 homes listed during June 2011 “When you look at the statistics on a month Continued on A7

Nissan dealers see plenty of potential PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Campbell River is going through some tough economic times, but the new owners of the Nissan dealership see plenty of opportunity right now as well as the potential for future growth in the city. “I think Campbell River is getting ready to rock,” says Jens Nielsen, one of the co-owners of Harris Nissan North Island. “There’s the big BC Hydro project coming, the new hospital and we have big box stores – there’s a lot of opportunity.” Nielsen and Jim Graham are the two local co-owners of the dealership who have partnered with Nanaimo-based Tom Harris Group. The other co-owners are Tom Harris and Mike Harris, who bought the dealership from well-known Campbell River businessman Barrie Brown. “I’ve known Tom

Jim Graham (left) and Jens Nielsen are the two new local owners of Harris Nissan North Island.

Harris for 25 years… their Group is growing rapidly,” says Nielsen. “They bring a lot of business experience and support for this new endeavour.” As well, Graham points out, they can assist customers looking for brands other than Nissan, as the Harris Group also sells Mazda, KIA and Mitsubishi vehicles.

But their “bread and butter,” notes Nielsen, is Nissan. “Nissan has some great products, especially their trucks and SUVs which are perfectly suited for this market,” he says. Nielsen was raised in the Yukon where his father ran a Chrysler dealership. In Campbell River, he was the sales manager at Steve

Campbell River. “Jim and I have complimentary skills,” says Nielsen. “We both have a lot of experience.” The two dealers are excited about their opportunity and the chance to be part of a vibrant community. “I can’t think of a better place to be in than Campbell River…I’m all in!” says Nielsen.

Real estate: Alberni drops 27 per cent Continued from A6 to month basis you can see it continues to remain very stable and predictable,” said VIREB President Guy Bezeau. “With a good housing inventory in all ranges and continuing historically low interest rates there is still ample opportunity for both buyers and sellers on Vancouver Island. Looking at it from the mid-point of 2012 you can see that activity across the Board area has remained level and consistent one month to the next throughout the year, which is expected to be the case throughout the rest of the year.” Comparing June 2012 to June 2011, the average sale prices across VIREB’s six zones saw: Campbell River increase seven per cent to $307,386, the Comox Valley rose four per cent to $361,537, Nanaimo’s average sales price was down three per cent to $358,290 from the June 2011 price of $370,322, Parksville/Qualicum prices rose five per cent to $405,635, Port Alberni/West Coast dropped a full 27 per cent to $197,950 and the Cowichan Valley declined five per cent to $336,238.

Our View

Little peace in public schools Bill 22 was a hammer where a feather was needed, but, thanks to some fancy footwork by mediator Charles Jago, the worst elements of the law were rendered moot, an agreement was reached and B.C.’s public school We say: We teachers and their employers will live to fight another day. While B.C. need a new way Teachers’ Federation president of negotiating Susan Lambert characterized teacher contracts the mediation process as a sham, labelled the pressure teachers were under as bullying and the agreement the best that could be achieved under duress, some modest improvements were gained, albeit not in wages.

More importantly, the two-year contract ending in 2013 contains few if any of the concessions demanded by the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association. True, there are no improvements in class size and composition language, and the government chose to tighten the screws on teachers by eliminating limits without giving teachers any of the control they sought in classroom organization. The government claims its $165-million Learning Improvement Fund will allay some of the concerns by putting more teachers and special education assistants in the classroom. It’s unlikely teachers will be satisfied, given their ongoing concerns about what they view as government attacks on their

professionalism, autonomy, control over classroom organization and wages. For parents, the teachers’ agreement is a relief after months of uncertainty. But the relief will be short-lived unless the economy turns around, the government changes or it turns out that more money does make a difference to in the classroom – although there will never be enough cash to solve every issue. What’s really needed is a completely new way for teachers and the province to come to terms on a contract. The latest fiasco is yet another example of how the existing paradigm of labour negotiations simply doesn’t work for public education. – Black Press

Where do they get this? I have been reading Hydro’s and Ted Olynyk’s defense of this horrid, dangerous smart meter program for more than 18 months now, and I am still surprised by the bizarre statistics they come up with. The most recent one is “A one way ferry trip from Departure Bay to Horseshoe Bay” exposes a person to more radiation than being around a smart meter for 35 years!! Where do they get this stuff ? Another one is that the meters send out signals “only” one minute a day. Never is there any substantiation of these misleading statements. The fact is that these meters emit very high levels of microwave radiation every 2-6 seconds all day every day and night. We have court-ordered documentation that PG&E was forced to provide about their ITRON meters, the same model and brand that Hydro is installing. What does Hydro have to argue this – nothing. People are having appliances damaged by surges and poor installation by unqualified installers that Hydro will not pay to fix; they are receiving bills that are 2 and 3 times higher than last year’s before they got a smart Continued on A9

Big Mike’s unimpressed with the latest scientific find

Conversations with Mike By Paul Rudan

Strolling downtown and thoroughly – and finally – enjoying the sunshine, I noticed Big Mike reading our daily newspaper. Hmm, I thought, that’s a good way to promote the paper...and then Big Logger Mike opened his yap after spying me trying sneak by his spar pole. “Hey What’s-Yer-Name, what’s all the hoopla over finding this stupid Dog Particle? I find them all the time on my little patch of lawn ‘thanks’ to them dog walkers!” he bellowed. Oh my, our yellow stalwart who sees and hears all is getting old and now he’s suffering from dyslexia. I tried straightening him out. “It’s not a Dog Particle...” I explained before he abruptly cut me off. “Geez, those scientists sure can

spend our money fast,” he lectured. “Billions of dollars to build some dang tunnel in Switzerland so they can crash fleas into each other at a zillion miles an hour...and what do they find: Dog particles, which I thin is just a fancy way of saying ‘poop’!” I quietly groaned and then looked around to make sure no one else was there to hear me yell, “It’s the GOD PARTICLE for crying out loud!” Big Mike gave me a funny look. “Which part?” he asked with a raised eyebrow. “I think if I was God, I’d be pretty ticked off if a bunch of pocket-protecting wearing geeks were trying to pull particles out of me.” This wasn’t going to be easy. “Let me try to explain. They think they’ve found the finite remnants of a particle which provides the key link

between energy and the creation of mass. It’s the link to the beginnings of our entire universe,” I said, trying to make quantum physics sound simple in under 50 words. It didn’t help. In fact, he appeared more dubious than ever. “What do you mean exactly when you say, ‘think they’ve found’?” he asked, again with the raised eyebrow. “Well,” I began, knowing full well that he wasn’t going be impressed, “they haven’t really found the God Particle – no one can even see it with the most powerful microscope – but they believe they’ve proved the theory.” Big Logger Mike just shook his head, sadly, as I expected. “Nice words: think, believe, the-

ory,” he said with an air of authority. “What you’re really saying is they don’t know for sure, but they think they think they know, right?” Now he had me confused. “I guess so,” I meekly replied. “Okay, I’ll take your word just this once,” he said. “Just tell me one thing, how’s this God Particle going to help the planet?” And now he had me stumped. “Umm, they don’t know or at least no one’s said what it can do,” I said with a shrug. “Just what I suspected,” said Big Logger Mike, “another so-called discovery so they can ask for billions and billions more, so that more scientists can have jobs. I think we need a Dog Particle collider right here in Campbell River!”

Bail cancelled for man accused of killing brother A young man charged with second-degree murder in the death of his half-brother was arrested again for allegedly fighting with another brother. Tony Williams, 18, wasn’t charged mischief or assault in connection with the alle g ed fight, but his bail was revoked due to five counts of breaching his bail conditions. “The allegations of breach or piling up,” said Judge John Joe on Wednesday in Campbell River provincial court. The judge added he had “grave concern” Williams will con-

tinue consuming alcohol and committing breaches, “In these circumstances, I’m going cancel bail and detain you.” Williams is accused of killing his half brother Edison Thomas, 33, on Sept. 28, 2011. Williams was released on strict bail conditions last December and ordered to reside with his parents, who were in the courtroom for Wednesday’s hearing. However, on April 4, at 1:26 a.m., a pedestrian found Williams passed out in the downtown area. Police arrived and could find no identification on the man who was breathing, but was largely unresponsive. He was taken to hos-

pital were high bloodalcohol levels were noted by medical staff. Police were later able to identify that it was Williams who was under conditions to abide by a curfew and to not consume alcohol. However, he was released from custody and later charged with breach. Then, on the afternoon of June 29, just four days after Williams had appeared in court to set a date for the murder trial, police received a report of two men fighting downtown. It was Williams and his brother who were allegedly yelling and punching each other. Williams later told an

officer they were, “only fighting about brother business.” Officers detected a slight odour of alcohol on Williams’ breath and the smell of marijuana. A small amount of pot was allegedly found in a backpack Williams was carrying, but he wasn’t charged with possession of a controlled substance. This time though, Williams was detained. Defence lawyer Doug Marion told the court that Williams denied drinking during the second incident. He also said that it was Wi l l i a m s ’ b ro t h e r who was throwing the punches. “This is a situation where the brother was

angry,” said Marion. However, Crown prosecutor Bruce Goddard noted there appears to be a pattern of Williams breaching his bail conditions. “He’s been released on a very serious charge…he should be detained in custody,” said Goddard. Judge Joe agreed and cancelled Williams’ bail. Williams was back in court on Thursday and was expected to enter into a plea agreement on some of the breach allegations. The outcome was not available at press time. A pre-trial conference for the murder trial is scheduled for July 18, in B.C. Supreme Court in Campbell River.

Smart meters: time the premier realized that thousands have refused them Continued from A8 meter and Hydro says the meters are correct. When time of use billing is introduced bills will increase even more, especially for those who need to heat or cook during the day. Experts warn that

our private data cannot be secure – hackers can tell when we’re not home or asleep,can turn off our home’s power, or bring down the entire system. Worst of all, we are being forced to have these dangerous inva-

sive transmitters on our homes and we have no choice. Just shut up and pay the bills. Minister Coleman and Hydro are saying they will work with us – by giving us three choices: pay $3,000-10,000 to

have the meter moved away from the home; get off the grid; leave the province. It’s time that Coleman and Christy Clark realize that many tens of thousands of British Columbians have refused these meters. 53

municipalities and the Union of BC Municipalities have asked for a moratorium and/or an opt out option. But Christy Clark says she doesn’t care. Sharon Noble Director, Coalition to Stop Smart Meters

Fawns keeping the recoverand other baby wilding deer away from life need their parents any outside stresses.

An eaglet was pushed out of its nest by an older, larger sibling.

A prehistoric-looking great blue heron chick came into Mountainaire Avian Rescue Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s care recently.

We would really appreciate any donations towards the fawnsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; milk fund.They are fed with specially formulated powdered milk that is costly to buy. These fawns will be fitted with ear tags so that they can be tracked and identified to trace their territory. My next encounter was with a prehistoric creature that was sitting on a salmonberry leaf held in the palm of a hand. A large beak flanked by two alert beady eyes appeared to be nestled in a powder puff. Hidden underneath were two gangly legs

and big feet. On close inspection there was no mistaking the teeniest great blue heron chick I have ever seen. This was a very fortunate little bird. It was observed as it was plucked from the nest in a heronry by a bald eagle. It must have been the heronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lucky day as the chick was dropped from the bald eagles talons landing in a bush close to its rescuers. The chick was still wet and it was brought to the center where it was put into an incubator. The challenge with a bird this small was how and what to feed it. We were able

to get advice from another rehab center that had dealt with this situation and was able to offer help. Bald eagles are one of the main threats to great blue herons and in Comox for most of the year they co-habit in the same area. However during the breeding season, the herons are not as successful as the eagles at defending their nests and young. It always amazes me that these longlegged, ungainly birds perch and nest in the treetops and fashion a very loosely woven nest of sticks which is open to predation and

the elements. Nests are often in areas of thick under growth and even if the herons survive falling out of the nest or being plucked from it, the parents cannot reach them on the ground and they starve to death. Finally, the last interesting case was a bald eaglet, which was also an unfortunate victim, this time of its own sibling. Bald eagles usually have two chicks and they hatch several days apart. Survival of the fittest holds true for these babies as the eldest is stronger and will bully the younger

sibling. This is natural behavior and if the younger chick cannot fend for itself and be aggressive in return it will often starve or in the case of this eaglet it was pushed out of the nest after being pecked repeatedly by its sibling. This is another happy ending as the event was witnessed and the eaglet rescued. This week the eaglet was transferred to O.W.L. (another rehab center in Ladner) where it will be raised by a non-releasable foster bald eagle. Please watch and wait before intervening with wildlife. Call our emergency line for advice 1-800-3049968. All of the cases featured above did require speedy intervention and rescuing, but so often most do not. Please check our web site for information on how you can help us secure funding from Shell Canada. Shell Fueling Change is an environmental initiative and your vote can earn us funding for Into the Blue, a great blue heron study of roosting maps and feeding habitats in the Baynes Sound/Comox Valley area which has never been recorded.

Invasive yellow flag iris sent packing

Ernie Sellentin, project coordinator for the Coastal Invasive Plant Committee, shows thick yellow flag iris rhizomes that make the plant difficult to remove once established.

4x7

After two days of hard physical labour, patches of invasive yellow flag iris have been removed from Baikie Island Nature Reserve – but there’s more to do to remove this pushy plant taking root in the Campbell River estuary. A joint effort between City of Campbell River, Greenways Land Trust, Nature Conservancy of Canada and , Coastal Invasive Plant Council staff was a first step to curb the spread of the plant, which had taken root on the west side of Baikie Island and was spreading rapidly. Yellow flag iris is

an aquatic plant that can grow in both saltwater and freshwater, spreading by seed and by underground rhizomes.

Maintenance efforts at Baikie Island are ongoing to ensure new plantings are thriving and to remove invasive species threatening to overtake native vegetation. Yellow flag iris was introduced to North America a century ago as an ornamental plant for its showy yellow blooms. It has spread into natural waterways across the continent. Residents are encouraged to refrain from planting yellow flag iris in yards and gardens to prevent the plant from spreading City staff will continue to work with Greenways Land Trust, the Coastal Invasive Plant Council and the Nature Conservancy of Canada to address concerns around invasive species throughout the community.

Snowden bike trails need time to recover The BC Bike Race’s Campbell River leg had 500 riders from all over the world participating.

However, the numbers of riders and the weather have caused considerable damage to the trails in the

Snowden Forest. The River City Cycle Club, who are the stewards for the Snowden trails have requested that

the mountain biking public do not use the Snowden Forest trails for several days until they have had a chance

When Jack Oja moved into his Willow Point oceanfront home eight years ago, he had a gorgeous sea view, but a garden full of gravel and weeds. Oja’s garden is among the 10 local properties featured on the Campbell River Art Gallery’s Garden and Art Tour Saturday, July 7 and Sunday, July 8. The self-guided tour runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days. Oja had always liked house plants, particularly cactus, but he had never had a big garden before. He started studying gardening books, met with a designer, hired a local nursery to oversee installation, and within a remarkably short time, created a truly magnificent garden overlooking the beach. “Eight years ago, it was barren, you wouldn’t recognize it at all compared to what it is today,” Oja said. Oja’s garden, which he describes as “a terrace with sides,” is a riot of colour, with campanulas, thyme, California poppies, foxgloves and much more. “It’s quite a palette,” he said, looking around his property. The garden is completely accessible and features gorgeous winding concrete paths in and amongst the flower beds. This is the second time Oja’s garden has been featured on the Campbell River Art Gallery’s Garden and Art Tour, and he recommends the experience to other gardeners. “I loved talking about gardening with likeminded people,” he said. “Everyone had a good time.” Tickets for the Garden and Art Tour, which is sponsored by Royal LePage Campbell River, are available at the Campbell River Art Gallery, the Willows Market, the Visitor Information Centre and the Comox Valley Art Gallery. Tickets are $15 and proceeds support children’s programs at the Campbell River Art Gallery. Call 250-287-2261 for more information. The Campbell River Community Centre is offering a bus tour, for $20 including your ticket, on Saturday, July 7 only. Call 250-286-1161 for details.

Many people with investments outside their RRSP have experienced plummeting values in their stock portfolios. If you have had capital gains in the last 3 years this creates an opportunity for you to realize some of your current losses and have those losses carried back up to 3 years for a refund of Faye Reynan taxes paid in those years. You can also use this to offset Capital Gains in the current year. Although you will not recapture taxes paid in a prior year, you will put off taxes on this year’s Capital Gain until such time as the shares in your portfolio show gains. This is assuming that after selling the losing stocks you leave the money from the share sales in your portfolio and purchase other shares. If these are stocks you have confidence in you can reacquire similar stocks (or the same stock if you wait the mandatory 30 days) and wait for them to rise again. You should contact both your financial advisor and your accountant before embarking on this suggestion. You or your authorized representative can find out whether you have had capital gains in the last three years by going to your My Account at http:// www.cra-arc.gc.ca/menu-eng.html. If you have not already done so you will need to sign up to My Account by following the links. Most Tax Preparers will have had you sign a T1013 Authorization to Represent a Client. This allows them to check on your My Account for you. This article is supplied by Faye Reynen, public accountant, Certified Professional Bookkeeper and owner of Reynen Business Services Ltd.

Hornby Island sculptor captures portraits of the ocean A

new exhibition opening at the Campbell River Art Gallery today features gorgeous ceramic sculptural vessels inspired by Hornby Island’s sea life. Artist Rachelle Chinnery’s pieces in the exhibition Portrait of an Ocean, sponsored by Sure Copy Print Copy and Business Centre, spring from her two passions: ceramics and kayaking. Chinnery moved to Hornby Island in 2007 to explore these two loves, and the resultant

creative process has resulted in exciting ceramic pieces featuring smooth glazes and wave-like forms. In Chinnery’s work, clay reflects the physical characteristics of bone, sand and teeth, while silken glaze reflects the smooth skins of mammals and the reflective quality of water. Her exhibition also includes accompanying poetry and a beachinspired installation piece. Chinnery has studied Japanese ceramics for nearly four years and

Creative guide Continued from A1 just love us and leave us. She had such a good time and met so many terrific people, she decided to leave a little something behind for all those visitors yet to come so they, too, can have a fun and vibrant holiday experience. Lavinia’s Creative Guide to the Campbell River area will be available at the Visitors Information Centre, and many other locations in Campbell River. Lavinia has put her personal stamp on the guide. Following her map of cultural activities and destinations will be like meeting Lavinia in person. Peter Davies (illustrator) and Annette Yourk (writer) wrestled Lavinia’s journals and photos into shape.

Art camp puts fun on the canvas T

his summer, register your child for “Acrylic Adventures,” a week-long art camp for children ages 7-12 from July 23-27 (five sessions). The camp runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day, perfect for parents with a busy schedule. Instructor and summer student Jessica Blue has a wealth of activities and projects in store, including outdoor sketching, painting on a variety of surfaces, as well as lessons on colour theory and various artists’ techniques. Students will work mainly with acrylic paint and look at a variety of artists and art movements each day. They will then use this inspiration to create their own beautiful works of art. Blue is currently a University of Victoria student, working towards a degree in Visual Arts. As painting is her main focus at university, she has a lot of new ideas and energy to bring to the table for this class. “It is going to be a jam packed and exciting week,” says Blue.

“I’m really looking forward to working with the kids. This camp is a great opportunity for them to try new styles of painting in a fun, group setting. The outdoor component will also give participants a chance to be inspired by the beauty of Campbell River.” The cost for the week of art is $165 for members of the Art Gallery and $175 for non-members. This includes all materials and supplies, provided by the Gallery. There is a bursary program available, sponsored by the Friends Group of the Campbell River Art Gallery, for low-income families. For more information on bursaries or to register, call 250287-2261 or email contact@crartgallery.ca. You can also register in person at the Gallery in Tyee Plaza, across from the Tidemark Theatre. Check out the Art Gallery’s website at www.crartgallery.ca which includes information on classes, exhibitions and events. All Children’s art programs are sponsored by Grieg Seafood.

Mitchell, Clarence 1923 – 2012 Clarence Mitchell, longtime Campbell River resident, passed peacefully from this life on July 3 in Campbell River and District General Hospital after a lengthy illness. He is survived by his loving wife of 64 years, Betty (the former Betty Harpur), daughter Marion Gonsky (JR Kuster) of Campbell River, sons Dale (Joanne) of Vernon, Jerry (Doreen) of Port McNeill and Bob (Lil) of Nanaimo, eight grandchildren and fourteen great-grandchildren with another one on the way, and his brother Allen Mitchell of Chase. Growing up during the Depression years without a mother, Mitch had a difficult early life but formed a deep relationship with his only sibling (at the time), Murray, who predeceased him several years ago. After a stint in the Merchant Marine service during WW II, Mitch met Betty and married her in 1947. The love and inspiration provided by Betty and her family (especially Betty's mother Mary) changed his life and helped him to become the great dad that he was. Mitch and Betty moved to the coast in 1949 and raised their family in several locations on Vancouver Island, moving to Campbell River in 1959 and with the exception of one year, have lived there ever since. Mitch was an excellent provider and spent most of his working life close to the forest industry as a machine operator, trucker and mechanic. He could tackle any repair job and find a way to fix any machine. He never lacked confidence when faced with a new challenge. His retirement years were truly golden. Their home was a crossroads for family and friends of all ages. Visitors were many and often, especially at happy hour on Fridays. Mitch was well attended in his final hours by family and friends, a sign of a life well lived. In lieu of a service, there will be an informal tea at the Elks Hall, 516 South Dogwood Street, from 2 to 4 pm on Saturday July 14. Friends are invited to drop by, share a story about Mitch and wish him well on his new journey. No flowers, by request of the family. In appreciation of the excellent and caring treatment he received from hospital staff, donations may be made in his name to the CR Hospital Foundation.

Our hearts are full of memories With pride we speak your name. Though life goes on without you, It will never be the same. All our love, Mom, Dad, Leon, Racheal, Mellissa, Brodie, Jessica and Josh

In Loving Memory of Allan Mainprize July 7, 1954 – July 8, 1997 Fond are the ties that are broken, Dear is the one that is gone, In memory we shall keep him As long as the years roll on. As we loved him, so we miss him, In our memory he is dear Loved, remembered, longed for always, Bringing many a silent tear. "In silence we remember."

Eve of Destruction at Saratoga Speedway

Saratoga Speedway’s first boat race and an amazing firework show highlighted the “Eve of Destruction” night on Saturday. Billy Brimacombe Jr., (#66) outlasted his competitors to win his first ever crash to pass boat race, with second place in the boat race going to Sheldon Hopp (73), in a close race. The Hornet cars had a great 35 lap main event. Cameron Phillips (09) led the main event for the first 12 last, holding off Daryl Cahill (02), but Cahill would find his way around on lap 13. Lap 15 drew the first caution of the race, bunching the field up. On the restart, Kevin Lawrenuk (01) briefly took the lead, but Cahill retook his lead one lap later and never looked back from there, winning his third main event of the year. In the Crash to Pass class, Troy Tarbuck (88) who was making his return to Sara-

toga after a few weeks off, dominated the 20 lap feature main event, leading all but four laps to take his third main event win of the year. I n t h e f i g u re 8 class, Cindy Kennedy (15) dominated the field, winning all of the Figure 8 races on the night. Finally, Duane Zeinstra (17) also had a great night in the Roadrunner class, winning the heat and leading every lap of the eight lap main event to win his first race of the year. Extra laps...Next weekend marks the return of the fastest cars on the Island – the Wingless Sprint cars which were last seen at Saratoga two years ago. These cars average a lap time of 13-14 seconds, which is by far the fasted class in British Columbia. The I.M.C.A Modifieds, Bomber cars and the Motorcycles will also be racing next weekend.

Ravens wrap up season Come cheer on the Junior Ravens as they play their last two home games of the season at Rod Brind’Amour Arena this weekend, followed by a final game in Nanaimo on Wednesday. On Saturday the Ravens will host the Penninsula Warriors while on Sunday the Ravens go head-tohead with the Saanich Tigers. The last time the Ravens met the Saanich Tigers (then in first place) the Ravens took a sweep over the Tigers with a 10-9 win as the squad looks forward to a rematch in their home barn. As the Ravens close the season, this will be the final games for Kris Hebert, Brayden Howes, Troy Marks (injury list)

and goaltender Logan Down. These boys leave the Ravens bench after many years of minor and junior lacrosse in Campbell River which includes a Midget Provincial Championship. The Ravens will also be holding their final fundraiser of the year with a summer raffle. Win a barbeque, golf for two at Storey Creek Golf Course or a Food Sealer. Tickets are available at the door, 3 for $5 both game days, and the draw will take place during the third period of Sunday’s game. Doors open for Saturday’s game at 5 p.m., game time at 5:30 p.m. Sunday’s game starts at 4 p.m., doors open at 3:30 p.m. Regular admission is $4.

Olivia Carter, Nadia Gilson and Megan Wilson also had great weekends working hard for some top finishes.

Rugby trio off to provincials Three local youth rugby athletes have been chosen to play for the Tsunami Rugby Academy and represent North Vancouver Island in the Provincial Regional Championships at the University of British Columbia, today through Sunday. The championships are the first step for elite youth rugby players who wish to play for Team BC and Canada’s National Team. Georgia Bellamy, 15, will play a key role at prop in the U18 Girls division. Bellamy has played the last two school sea-

sons with G.P. Vanier in Cour tenay, and helped that team to a silver medal at the recent AAA BC Girls High School Provincials. Cracking Tsunami’s U16 Boys lineup is 8-man Jackson Locker, 15. Locker also played that position for the Carihi Boys team this past season. He too has picked up the game in a relatively short time, first playing rugby as a 13-year old at Phoenix Middle School. Rounding out the trio is Anthony Hol-

linger, 17, who will play flanker for Tsunami’s U18 Boys team. A natural leader, he was the elected captain of this season’s Carihi Boys team. “He is your typical ideal flanker - always first to the breakdown,” says Carihi head coach Darren Munro. “His dedication to the team and sport through extra fitness and ballhandling sessions on his own time also sets him apart.” For info on Intro to Rugby sessions, contact Young at (250) 202-7642 or e-mail, eay oung@ me.com
