Seniors living in a home park beside the noisy Duncan Bay Road pole peeler plant are taking aim at the provincial government after, they say, they received no help from the city or the regional district. Nora Henry, a resident of Blue Spruce Home Park, wrote a letter to Ida Chong, the minister of community, sport, and cultural development, blasting her for not getting more involved. “I just needed to air my displeasure with you not stepping up to help us deal with the atrocity that set up operations next door to our mobile home park this January,” wrote Henry. “We have all sent you messages, pleading for your help and you have done nothing. (North Island MLA) Claire Trevena has been the only public figure to try to help us. She has written you and requested you intervene with a mediator. Are you going to help?” Chong, who spoke with the Mirror Tuesday morning, said the province is looking into residents’ concerns regarding air pollution and followed up with the city to ensure noise abatement modifications are being implemented to Continued on A2
During the summer months most pets would prefer to stay home in a cool place rather than walk on hot city pavement or sit in a parked car.
The temperature in a parked car, even in the shade with the windows partly open, can rapidly reach a level that will seriously harm or even kill your pet. Dogs cool themselves by panting and by releasing heat through their paws. On summer days the air and upholstery in your vehicle can heat up to high temperatures that make it impossible for pets to cool themselves. Your dog will be more comfortable if left at home. If you see a dog languishing in a hot car, call the BC SPCA in your area or local police.

Plant: Residents won’t play dead Continued from A1 comply with the city’s nuisance bylaw. “I find it unreasonable for anyone to say our ministry is sitting back and that we’re not doing anything,� Chong said. “We have looked at this very thoroughly. I’ve gone through everything, I’ve been trying to be very mindful and respectful of everyone here. “The residents are not happy but...if you look at everything being done by the City of Campbell River everything has been followed through.� Chong said it’s not the ministry’s place to do anything further as local government has the autonomy to make its own decisions with respect to land use and development permits. “We would be overstepping the authority that municipal governments have,� Chong said. “At the end of the
day, Campbell River has the authority to approve a business and where they’re located. The City of Campbell River has followed due process and followed the OCP (Official Community Plan) – it’s pretty hard for the ministry to step in.� As for calling in a mediator, Chong said she would have no grounds to do such a thing when only one party – the residents – is willing. Chong said the city has not indicated it wants a mediator. But Henry wants Chong to do more. “We lived in this serene setting until this invaded our green space,� Henry said. “I don’t want to spend the rest of my retirement years having to fight for our right to live the life we chose, to live here in the park. “We have turned our lives upside down trying to make it clear to
everyone, we will not be submissive and roll over and play dead for you or anyone else. It’s sad that people like you that have been given the power, by us I might add, to totally ignore a very serious blunder by our local city government.� The city, for its part, maintains there was no mistake and the pole peeler is operating with a legitimate permit in place. In an attempt to reach out to the community, the city put a pole peeler frequently asked questions document on its website last week. The document describes how the pole peeler was required to apply for a Form and Character Development Permit, meaning the operation only had to fit into the neighbourhood in terms of landscaping, colour, and other aesthetics. The permit did not require information
regarding sound, traffic, or air pollution, according to city land use manager Ross Blackwell. Tracey Deller, who coowns the Blue Spruce Homepark, said the FAQs look like a “cover up� and that the Local Government Act does not say anything about Form and Character, other than “form and character is the reason the land was designated a development permit area.� Deller said the city should still have had to collect information on the total anticipated impact on the community. “I think this is the city’s attempt to try and shut us up or discredit us,� Deller said in an e-mail. “The provincial gover nment lays down legal framework for local governments to follow, the City of Campbell River did not follow that framework.� Meanwhile, construction on pole peeler noise abatement measures continues and is expected to be complete within the next couple of weeks.

Contest to get you thinking about trees
not about (unique) trees that the urban management plan should know about,” Hamilton says. “The contest is to get people to become aware of trees in the community and nominate trees in town they think are important, from the big Douglas firs in Elk Falls park to the great Sitka spruce along the Quinsam Trail.”
Hamilton also wants to get people thinking about the important role trees play in providing shade to cool down in the summer and shelter for warmth in the winter. Hamilton says one tree in particular, the cottonwood, has unfairly been given a bad name. “A lot of people think it’s a nuisance but
they’re an important tree,” he says. “They retain a lot of carbon because they grow so big and they’re important stream-side because they provide so much shade and they eventually fall into the stream and create woody debris.” That wood then creates shelter for young fish which need cool water and sheltered
areas to survive. Other eye-catching trees found in the city include the arbutus tree, known for its slim, light-coloured, crooked trunk that divides into several twisting branches, and the Monkey Puzzle tree native to New Zealand. The Monkey Puzzle tree’s thick evergreen branches that spread out in different shapes
like puzzle pieces make it unique and popular among Campbell Riverites. “It’s an unusual tree because it’s such an old genus of trees,” says Hamilton who recalls hearing from several upset local residents when the Monkey Puzzle tree along Highway 19A, just north of Hilchey Road, blew down in the March wind storm. “Many people said to me that that was their favourite tree,” Hamilton says. “It’s been a landmark for a very long time.” The good news, says Hamilton, is there’s lots of other Monkey Puzzle trees around. He said the exotic tree can be found on Greenwood Street, in Coronation Park along Alder Street, and on Colwyn Street, between 6th and 7th Avenue. Hamilton figures the Monkey Puzzle tree will likely be a popular choice among contest participants, as will the big-leaf maple trees (one can be found at Haig-Brown House). The contest runs now until August 31 when a panel of expert judges will consider

The city and Greenways Land Trust need help creating an inventory of Campbell River’s many trees. To engage the public, the local environmental organization is running a Character Tree contest inviting the community to nominate its favourite trees. The trees, which must be within the city limits (including Elk Falls), will go head-tohead in a contest that will showcase some of the the city’s most beautiful assets. Richard Hamilton, past president and secretary-treasurer of Greenways Land Trust, says taking an inventory of the trees is a vital part of the city’s Urban Forestry Management Plan which Greenways has partnered with the city to help create over the last year. The contest will help fill in the blanks. “The tree inventory is based on sample plots and statistical analysis which will tell us about the tree cover in the community but

Each entry should have two photos of the nominated tree – one close enough to fill the frame and a second from a distance to show the tree’s setting.

Three in the running for hydro project BC Hydro has shortlisted three companies to design and construct a replacement for the 65-year-old John Hart generating station on the Campbell River. T he re placement facility will improve power reliability and seismic safety, and make it easier for BC Hydro to protect fish habitat in an area of the world renowned for its salmon. Eight companies responded to an open request for qualifications posted on BC Bid in March. Following a comprehensive evaluation BC Hydro shortlisted Elk Falls Energy Partners, Salmon River Hydro Partners and SNCLavalin Inc. A request for proposals has been issued to the three companies and BC Hydro expects to award the contract in summer 2013 and construction will begin soon after. The project, which is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2018, will create about 400 jobs a year over the five years of construction. The John Hart Project is currently undergoing a review by the British Columbia Utilities Commission. BC Hydro anticipates a decision from the Commission by spring 2013. The John Hart facil-
ity has been operating since 1947. It’s one of the oldest generating facilities in BC Hydro’s hydro-electric system and one of the most important assets on Vancouver Island. The John Har t Generating Station Replacement Project will improve: ■ Safety – The existing generating station and pipelines may not withstand a low to moderate earthquake. The new facilities will be able to withstand a significant earthquake. ■ Reliability – The six generating units are in poor condition and their capacity is declining. The new generating units will ensure 835 gigawatt hours of reliable power are generated annually. ■ Environment – The environmental risk of a generating station shutdown and river flow reduction, with subsequent harm to fish habitat. The new water bypass facility will allow for continued river flow for fish and fish habitat. The cost of the project is currently estimated at $1-$1.2 billion, and the cost estimate will be refined as the project is further defined during the competitive proposal process. The proposed project
involves: ■ Constructing a re placement water intake at the John Hart Spillway Dam. ■ Reducing the facility’s footprint by replacing the three 1.8-kilometre pipelines with a 2.1-kilometre tunnel. ■ Constructing a replacement generating station beside the existing station. ■ Building a new water bypass facility. The existing station may continue to operate during the construction phase. BC Hydro will transfer operations during the commissioning period to the new facility. Here’s a background on the shortlisted proponents and their part-
ners: ■ Elk Falls: Ontario Pension Board/ Brookfield Financial, Bouygues Travaux Publics, Fiera Axium Infrastructure, Connor Clark & Lunn GVest Traditional Infrastructure LP/Gracorp Capital Advisors Ltd., B o u yg u e s - G r a h a m , Knight Piesold Consulting and ALSTOM Power & Transport Canada Inc. ■ SNC-Lavalin Inc.: SNC-Lavalin Inc and IMPSA. ■ S a l m o n R ive r Hydro Partners: Bilfinger Berger, Acciona, Barnard Construction, Klohn Crippen Berger, Voith Hydro, F&M Installations, HMI Construction and Siemens.

Construction is about to begin on Campbell River’s Rotary Splashpark. A groundbreaking ceremony was held yesterday in Willow Point Park. Based on timelines for other splashpark projects, construction is expected to take up to 12 weeks. The splashpark will include a fire hydrant and hose element and will feature Campbell River’s marine heritage. “Campbell River’s Rotary Splashpark will include a fishing pole with salmon attached, a whale body and tail, and the mega soaker – a bowl full of water that fills and spills – will be a killer whale, and the first in B.C.,” said Ross Milnthorp, the City’s general manager of parks, recreation and culture. “We anticipate the Splash Park will be great fun for local families and for Campbell River visitors,” said Patricia
Gagnon, past president of the Rotary Club of Campbell River. “The Campbell River Rotary Splashpark is another great example of community partners working together to provide a welcome addition to our city that people of all ages can enjoy.” Access to the park will be free, and the fun will be divided into three sections: one for families, one for teens and one for toddlers. The project was led by the Rotary Club of Campbell River, and funding is provided by Telus ($123,200), the Rotary Club of Campbell River ($120,000), Daybreak Rotary ($40,000) the Campbell River Firefighters Association ($20,000) and the City’s Parks Parcel Tax ($75,000). The City will also fund annual operating costs ($30,000). The contractor (Rec Tec) was selected by Rotary and is working in cooperation with the City of Campbell River to construct the splashpark.

Thief who received a break back behind bars PAUL RUDAN
CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
A convicted thief, given special consideration for a serious medical condition, is back in jail after breaching a conditional sentence. Lorne Guy Seitz, 46, received a conditional sentence of two years less a day on June 11, after pleading guilty to theft over $5,000 and two counts of break and enter. Typically, as the sentencing judge noted in B.C. Supreme Court, Seitz would have been jailed for his crimes. However, due a potentially-fatal liver condition, hepatitis C, he was basically sen-
tenced to house arrest. However, on June 20 at 6:40 p.m., two Mounties conducted a check of Seitz’ motel residence and he wasn’t there. “I could see the entire unit and no one was inside,” wrote the RCMP officer in his report. As a result, an arrest warrant was issued for Seitz who did turn himself in at the RCMP detachment. He was detained on June 27 and has been in custody since then. L a s t We d n e s d ay, Seitz appeared in B.C. Supreme Court in Campbell River and pleaded guilty to breaching his condi-
tional sentence. He had no explanation as to why he wasn’t in his motel room or even where he was on the date in question. D e f e n c e l aw ye r James Hormoth suggested this was due to the combination of medications and painkillers Seitz is taking. Seitz has advanced hepatitis C and he told the court he has a 50-50 chance of surviving the disease. However, he is on a drug trial which, if successful, will give him a far better chance of survival. Seitz said he goes to the Campbell River hospital every Thursday for the drug injec-
tion which causes painful side effects. But in order for the drug to be successful, Seitz must maintain the weekly regiment for several months. The problem now is he’s already missed two appointments and will miss more after Judge J. Harvey suspended his conditional sentence and ordered Seitz to spend 30 days in jail. Judge Harvey characterized Seitz’ conditional sentence as “extraordinary” given the crimes he committed as well as his past criminal record. However, he noted that Seitz was “cut some slack” by the sentence
and then breached the home arrest condition within 10 days of being sentenced. The judge expressed his regret that Seitz may not be able to continue his drug treatments while in jail, but, “There are no free bites in matters such as this.” Seitz received the conditional sentence for crimes he committed last year and in 2010. On the morning of April 30, 2011, Seitz used a pickup truck to try and break into General Paints at Discovery Harbour Plaza. When that attempt failed, Seitz and Roderick Jurriet drove to

appearance Monday afternoon in Campbell River provincial court. He consented to remain in custody for a week and is expected to have a bail hearing on July 16.
England-Seaton is charged with two counts of breaking into local businesses, one residential breakin, three counts of possession of stolen property, and one count of fraud.
According to Campb e l l R ive r RC M P, police were called to a break-in in progress last Thursday. While responding, officers stopped a man running from the crime scene. “The male had no
shirt and was carrying two pillowcases filled with loot,” said RCMP in a news release. “His bloody shirt was wrapped around his bleeding elbow that was cut during the break in.”
the Willows Pub on Rockland Road where Seitz used the truck to smash out the entrance in order to steal booze. Shortly later, the vehicle was stopped by RCMP and the two men were arrested. Seitz was the lone man charged in the incident after Jurriet testified against him at a preliminary inquiry. Seitz’ other conviction for theft over $5,000 stems from a July 21, 2010, incident in Port Hardy when he stole a trailered boat from Pacificus Biological Services. The boat and trailer were later found by police, attached to a red Jeep on Grey Street,
parked outside Seitz’ residence. Seitz will resume his conditional sentence following his release from jail. During the first year he is under house arrest, although he is allowed to go out for medical treatments, to buy food and to exercise. During the second year of the sentence, Seitz is bound by a 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew. A new condition was also added to his sentence on Thursday whereby police will be allowed to get his landlord to open his residence if Seitz does not answer. This is due to the sleeping pills he takes.
Weekly stats Police responded to 300 calls for service last week. There were 12 reported persons offences and 45 property related offences. Both figures are above the yearly average. Over the last two weeks, police arrested nine impaired drivers, issued seven immediate roadside prohibitions – three were issued on Satuday night – as well as seven roadside suspensions. As well, thefts from attached garages and sheds continue to be reported.

Our View
Sunny weather brings fire risk It’s getting hot out there. Finally, summer seems to have arrived. We wet coasters whine perennially about our typically dreary weather in June – now commonly, perhaps We say: Change affectionately, known as ‘Jun-uary’ – but this year it turns out the to hot, dry complaining wasn’t without good weather brings reason. new challenges We were a full degree below average this year, which is significant, even if it doesn’t seem like much of a difference. We Islanders avoided the flood scares that put
much of the province on alert last month. But now that the wet weather is apparently behind us, the sudden turnaround to a hot, dry summer brings a new set of challenges – more important than listening to moaning about the heat, instead of the cold and damp. In the forests and interface zones (where forest meets urban), the lengthened growing season has translated to plenty of undergrowth, which will become potential fire fuel as it dries out. More so than ever, fire officials are urging people to be wary of the risks for brush fires and wildfires. The risks could be compounded, fire prevention officials and firefighters worry, by a sense of
complacency that might have grown out of the recent lengthy spate of grey. That’s concerning because it only takes a few hot days strung together to eliminate any residual moisture left in wooded areas from an extended damp stretch. So as we move from damp to dry, please remember to minimize fire risks.

Letters
A hearty thank-you A very loud and hearty thank you to all those Campbell River drivers who I would class as heroes for being both very cooperative and understanding when they had to be re-routed due to 16th Ave being closed off at Cedar Street near the finish line of the BC Bike Race on Monday, July 2. I fully realize that some motorists were getting frustrated and ended up literally going in circles trying to get to restaurants and businesses in the vicinity of the finish line. Many of you took this inconvenience in stride and often with humour. Please accept the fact that our first responsibility in directing traffic was the safety of not only the bike racers but also the rest of the citizens of Campbell River near the Race course. To my knowledge, there were no injuries to either bikers or pedestrians or damage to any vehicles in the vicinity of our roadblocks. I would also like to give out a special thank you to the owner of McDonalds who personally came out in the rain to give my partner and I a cup of hot chocolate. Your timing and your kindness in doing so was very much appreciated. To those very few individuals, (including a local taxi driver), who chose rather to resort to very nasty expletives of a sexual nature and also those who succumbed to road rage and peeled away whilst loudly cursing at us, all I can say is, that we in Campbell River are fortunate that there are so few of you.

The man that was all-too-soon to be is on his way
Alistair Taylor Out On A Limb
My son left home just the other day. The inevitable result of 20 years of preparing him for a life of his own. There was no preparation, however, for the empty feeling left in the house, even though we knew it was going to come. A baby arrived – in the usual way, to quote Harry Chapin – nearly 20 years ago. Two first-time parents nervously set him on the couch, wondering if we couldn’t possibly take him back to the hospital where he was sure to be safer. But we got used to him and he us and for years it was a love affair undiminished by messy diapers, cluttered bedrooms and broken toys. Held hands, snuggles in bed and
quiet times spent reading stories and playing games cemented the bond between parents and child. As he grew he tested boundaries, learned respect and learned to return love unequivocally. A personality developed and a soul evolved. The man that was alltoo-soon to be was already securely entrenched in the body of a boy getting his hands muddy, his feet wet and his skin nicked and marked by a world that was his playground. My son benefited from knowing only one home in his life. Unlike my wife and I who moved frequently as children, our child never moved from a little rancher in Willow Point. He was joined in love by a sister
and our little quartet discovered the joy that is a family who have had the blessing of stability and security. Health challenges came to his sister but the little man was always there for her, proving his lessons of compassion and love were securely entrenched. Early signs pointing to a caring spirit were to be proven and re-proven. A cheerful attitude that never dwelled too long on the bad stuff also became a hallmark. He never held a grudge for very long and disagreements were forgotten in minutes. An imagination that could create a whole new world was given full rein in an intelligent and creative mind. At times it was hard to follow where
his creative impulses had flown. When he was in the natural world, his wonder and appreciation for life and living things poured out. He learned responsibility, spirituality and the importance of community. He took an interest in the world and valued everybody. He was also offended by injustice and shows signs that his mild manner could be fired up by the need to set things right. So, with those skills and traits as his suit of armor, we set him on a plane the other day; his parents, once again, nervous about this new phase. He had committed himself to a twoyear mission with his church and left knowing his biggest shield is the knowledge his family loves him.

New trial ordered for man accused of drunk driving and killing dog Original case tossed out due to delays PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The B.C. Supreme Court has ordered a new trial for a man accused of impaired d r iv i n g , n a r row ly missing a child on a bicycle and then running over, and killing, a family dog. The case against Jeffrey Lepage had been tossed out of Campbell River provincial court due to “unreasonable” delays, but last Thursday, Justice Jennifer Power overturned the ruling and ordered a new trial. It was the second case in a month where a North Island motorist,
accused of impaired driving, has been ordered back to trial following successful “delay applications” under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. In June, the BC Supreme Court ordered a new trial for Albert Turner who is accused of driving while impaired in Port Hardy in April 2010. In both cases, lawyers for the two accused men had successfully argued for stays of proceedings against their clients due to ongoing delays which violated their rights or caused prejudice against them. As well, in both cases, the judge blamed institutional delays and a lack of human resources among his reasons for staying the charges. “…the government
has made a decision… it has simply decided not to provide adequate funding,” said Judge Brian Saunderson in his decision in the Turner case. As for Lepage, he’s accused of impaired driving in Campbell River on July 19, 2009. “The facts of the allegations include narrowly missing a child on a bike and running over the family dog as it was being walked on the side of the road by the owner. The dog died as a result of the incident,” wrote Justice Power in her decision to order a new trial. Lepage was formally charged on Sept. 30, 2009, with the trial starting on June 8, 2011. In between that time, there were several delays due to a lack of court time as well as Crown and defence
adjournments. As well, the case was originally slated for trial on July 2, 2010, but Lepage failed to show up after he marked down the wrong court date on his calendar. When the trial finally began in June 2011, it was supposed to take just one day, but due to other court matters, the trial never finished. It was supposed to continue on Aug. 4, 2011, but again, the court day came to an end before the trial concluded. That led to the successful delay application in which the judge noted, “Rare is the day when all cases set for a particular date are completed. (Campbell River) court is over-booked. We cannot handle trials in a timely manner.” In overruling the
decision, Justice Power said the judge failed to take into account all the factors resulting in the ongoing delays. She also found that Lepage did not face prejudice due to lost income for court appearances as well as legal expenses. However, as in the T u r n e r c a s e, t h e supreme court judge did back-up the provincial court judge’s comments in regard to a lack of human resources in the court system. “It is clear from his reasons that the trial judge is very concerned about the limits on the institutional resources in Campbell River. Those concerns are very well founded as outlined in his reasons,” wrote Justice Power. There’s no word yet on a new trial date.

VIREB releases annual buyer profile A three bedroom, two bathroom single family home selling in the $350,000 range was the top selling property on Vancouver Island last year – according to information contained in the 2011 Buyer Profile recently released by the Vancouver Island
Real Estate Board (VIREB). The 2011 Buyer Profile provides a statistical snapshot of real estate sales activity and market trends recorded throughout the VIREB coverage area – which extends from the Malahat in the south to the northern tip of Vancouver Island. The yearly statistical breakdown was compiled following
the development, release and return of a questionnaire sent to residential buyers obtained through the MLS® database for 2011. The survey was mailed to 6,034 potential respondents with a total of 1,587 (26.3 per cent) completed and returned. The data provided was used to create a general statistical picture for the Board area as a whole and
for each of VIREB’s individual market areas: Duncan/Cowichan Valley, Nanaimo, Port Alberni/West Coast, Parksville/Qualicum, Comox Valley, Campbell River, North Island and Islands areas. “It’s an important and extremely useful document, for our member Realtors certainly, but for developers, Economic Development Officers
and others,” explained VIREB President Guy Bezeau. “To have a snapshot of who the home buyers are and where they come is a very valuable tool. Having a better understanding of the marketplace is always a genuine benefit.” A few highlights of the survey include (on a Board wide basis) that 40 per cent of home buyers come from
within the same area as the home purchased, with 16 per cent coming from elsewhere on Vancouver Island. In addition 96 per cent of all homes purchased last year were as a principle residence, with only 17 per cent of those purchasers being first time buyers. A total of 42 per cent of homes purchased last year were as retirement properties.

Smart meter notices delivered as petition circulates C a m p b e l l R ive r homes are starting to receive notification letters that BC Hydro will be installing a smart meter despite a provincial petition circulating around town asking for a temporary ban on the controversial devices. The petition, which 133 Campbell Riverites have signed so far, requests that a moratorium be placed on the wireless smart meters until “the major issues and problems identified...are independently assessed and until acceptable alternatives can be made available to the consumer at no additional cost.” The petition acknowledges there is ongoing research into potential health and environmental effects related to radio frequency signals emitted from the smart meters. The document also alleges that BC Hydro is aware that the World Health Organization classified those radio frequency electromagnetic fields as a Class 2B – a pos-
sible human carcinogen. Several B.C. communities have taken the petition, which has spread throughout the province, to heart. Currently 51 municipalities and counting have called for a moratorium on smart meters due to health, privacy and security concerns associated with the wireless devices. Those cities include Gold River, Nanaimo, Parksville, Qualicum Beach, Burnaby, Vancouver, and Victoria. Karle and Laurie Granlund, who own Granlund Firearms, want Campbell River to follow their lead. “Given that BC Hydro will allow your information to be accessed online, the meters pose a significant security risk as hackers could easily get access to this information and determine when a house was vacant, thus when it would be easy to break in and steal,” write the Granlunds in a letter to city council. “(This is) a request for the city of Campbell River to join the growing movement to ask for a moratorium on the “One call, and we’ll do it all”

BC Hydro says personal information is collected such as a person’s name, address and identity validation but that information is only used for billing purposes and is never given out to third parties. Further, the organization says the smart meters do report back to BC Hydro a home’s energy consumption but Hydro cannot detect how that power is being used. “The Internet is a great place for information but not all of it is correct information,” says Ted Olynyk, spokesperson for BC Hydro. “There’s misinformation out there that BC Hydro will know who you have over for dinner, when you’ re eating dinner...because of smart meters.” As for health hazards, BC Hydro says the smart meters use a wireless signal to

Letters from BC Hydro have already been sent to several Campbell River homes to notify residents that their smart meter will be installed roughly three weeks from when they received their letter. BC Hydro says meter installation can take place anytime Monday to Friday between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. The exchange is expected to take less than 10 minutes and customers will experience a 60-second power inter ruption while Hydro removes the old meter and puts the smart meter in. John War n, head of the local coalition to stop smart meters, says he isn’t happy BC Hydro isn’t giving him any options when it comes to smart meters. “We’re being forced to accept something in our homes that’s been classified as a Class 2B carcinogen – that scares me,” Warn says. “There is (also) a high risk of fires being started by smart

Artists to paint in the great outdoors in plein air workshop Artists can learn just how enjoyable it can be to paint in the open air in a beautiful
setting by taking part in a Plein Air Painting Workshop presented by the Campbell River Art Gallery Saturday, July 21. Instructional team Jill Paris Rody and Perrin Sparks, both renowned local artists, will share their
How Can We Help You? 2X5
wealth of knowledge and experience with participants in the workshop, which takes place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in a stunning Black Creek garden. Artists can paint one or more pieces in their choice of medium. Painting
outside, or in ‘plein air’ can make some artists nervous, but Rody and Sparks want to coach artists over the rough patches, so they can learn to paint outdoors with ease. The cost for is $48 plus gallery members and $58 for non-members.

Mount Washington kicks off its summer festival season with an annual favourite. Suds and Scotch, the finest beer and scotch sampling event of the summer, takes place this Friday, July 13th. Suds and Scotch returns to the scenic Raven Lodge and the doors open at 6 p.m. with sampling continuing to 9 p.m. “This festival has it all,” explains Mount Washington Event Coordinator Marina Stevenson. “We have a great variety of beer and scotch along with an amazing view and the unique and upbeat sounds of Kytami.” The Suds and Scotch event at Mount Washington has always been recognized for the quality of live music and this year is no different. Former Delhi to Dublin violinist Kytami promises to bring high energy and infectious beats to the evening. Known as a “violinist extremist,” Kytami will be throwing down some furious violin over beats by Vancouver DJ, ThePhonograff. In addition to the sizzling live music, the following breweries will be in attendance: Labatt’s, Vancouver Island Brewery, Islander Lager, Driftwood Brewery, Tofino Brewing Company, Lighthouse Brewing Company, Granville Island Brewing, Phillips Brewing Company, Stanley Park Brewery, Grolsch Brewery, Innis & Gunn, Asahi, Whistler Brewing Co, Peroni and Hells Gate Brewing. Whiskey distilleries include Whyte & McKay Scotch, The Johnnie Walker Scotch Collection and Bulleit Bourbon. Entry to Suds and Scotch is $25 and includes five tasting tickets, a souvenir glass, and the chance to win prizes. Mount Washington is offering free shuttle buses to and from the event departing at 5:15 p.m. from the Zellers side of the Driftwood Mall in Courtenay. To book your Suds and Scotch tickets, go to the online store at mountwashington.ca or call the reservations line at 1-888-231-1499.

Betta fish
ABOUT HEATHER:
Betta, pronounced bettah not baydah (Siamese Fighting Fish) make a fantastic fish for the office, kitchen, kids room & more! They TOLERATE fish tanks or bowls without filtration which makes them ideal for any place....however that does not mean they thrive in cold, dirty tanks. A betta should be kept in a shallow tank preferably no smaller than 5 gallons with a filter and a heater in it. However, over Sarah Kirk the years Betta’s have been put in small Owner fish tanks, vases etc. Betta’s like clean slow moving water AND 76-80 degrees!!! Marina has a heater that is specifically for Betta tanks and a very small filter that will help keep water moving and pick up poop better. Still need to change the water up to 75% per week. Using Nutrafin Betta water conditioner is very important, to remove chlorine and provide almond leaf extract to the fish water to simulate the natural environment. An overfed Betta is an unhealthy Betta. Varying the food he gets will keep him interested in eating. Yes he can have fish friends....depending on the size of the aquarium and whether it is heated and filtered. Typically it will live 2+ years...so treat him well and he will provide you with a few years of enjoyment.

The easy answer is to replace lost income for your spouse. However, many people feel they have adequate resources even if one of them passed away. What isn’t always considered is what your family must deal with when you are both gone, and the Darlene Garat cash has disappeared with living Financial Advisor expenses, and second death burial costs. If you are “land rich but cash poor” at the end of days, someone is going to be wishing they hadn’t signed on as your executor. Unless you have last-to-die life insurance in place! Less expensive than other permanent policies, you can purchase enough coverage to minimize the tax consequences of leaving an illiquid estate, leaving your assets to be dispensed of in an orderly and more efficient manner. Some policies even offer options that will allow your coverage to grow as your hard assets appreciate over time.

Now that the weather is becoming nicer and people are spending more time outdoors, sunburns are a common problem for many people. Sunburns can range in severity from those that are mildly uncomfortable to those that are serious and cover a large portion of the body. For minor sunburns, give first aid as follows: Jennifer Comeau • Get the person out of the sun and gently Branch Manager sponge the area with cool water or cover with a wet towel to relieve the pain. Repeat these steps as needed to relieve the pain. • Pat the skin dry and put on a medicated sunburn ointment or lotion. Apply the lotion according to the directions on the package and be aware that these lotions can cause an allergic reaction in some people. • Protect burned areas from further exposure to the sun. • If blisters are preset, do not break them as doing so may promote infection. • If large areas of the skin begin to blister, seek medical help. • Infants and the elderly should seek medical attention even for minor burns as there may be complications.

Semi-monthly deposits of $250 can add up to $6000 after 12 months, if you are successful at not using the money for another purpose all year.

During my prenatal consultation I suggest that pregnant women visit me again one month before they deliver. At that time I give them an herbal tonic Dr. Ingrid Pincott ND that will prepare the uterus Naturopathic Physician for delivery helping with the dilation of the cervix. This same tonic is also useful during the first month after delivery restoring the uterus back to its non pregnant size. We also review a few homeopathic remedies that are used during the process of labour and delivery. Whenever I get a chance to review nutrition for mom and babe I take it so I review the vitamin D status of the pregnant mom and the importance of probiotics to prep the vaginal canal. Both are important for the optimal immune function of the new born.

I am pregnant and wanting some help with preparing for delivery. How can you help me?
My dog won’t come when I call her….help!! It’s baffling how many people assume their dog should voluntarily run to them when they’re called – even though they’ve spent zero time actually “teaching” the dog what the command means…..dogs certainly don’t arrive in our lives pre-programmed with various behaviors we want them to do. Start in the house (where your dog is safe and there are fewer distractions), call to her in an upbeat tone, using her name only……most dogs will want to come and see why you’re so happy and calling their name…..reward her with Cathy Merrithew a tasty treat. At the same time, give verbal praise, telling her how wonderful she is. Let her wander away again, then repeat and don’t forget the reward. Keep doing this randomly throughout the day, and when you’re sure your dog will respond, add the command “Here!”, and reward. It’s a good idea to change your command to a different word if you’ve already conditioned your dog that “Come” means nothing. Next move to your backyard, and do the same thing calling her and rewarding upon her arrival. Gradually keep practicing this in different locations, before you actually have to depend on it if your dog is off leash. By practicing this in situations where your dog can’t help but respond, you’re conditioning her that coming to you is the best thing in the world! Always reward with a treat, this way she will never have to think about whether or not it will pay off for her to come running in. Never call her to you and then do something she dislikes – like trimming her nails. Go to her instead and lead her to where you need to do that.
Some of the worst summer tragedies involve pets that are left in vehicles in the sun with the windows partially or completely rolled up. Temperatures inside a car rapidly climb to more than 50’C and can cause death sometimes in as little as 10 minutes! Many people think that leaving a window open Dr. Peter Woodward will keep their dog safe and cool, but studies show that an open window makes no difference. The signs of heat stroke include: heavy panting, profuse salivation, lack of coordination, red gums, vomiting & diarrhea. What to do if you see a dog in a hot car- record information about the vehicle, alert the management of the business, call the police and stay with the dog until help arrives. If you need to leave your pet in a car for any period of time, please do the pet and yourself a favor and leave the pet at home. Cheers Campbell River!

Why should I get a transmission, coolant & power steering flush?
What are the benefits from use of seaweed in the garden?
Preventative Maintenance. Performing preventative maintenance is like flossing your car’s teeth. Spending a little time and money today will save you the larger expenses Lyle Wolfe and downtime of major repairs Owner in the future. While changing your oil is like brushing your teeth, transmission flushes, coolant flushes, brake fluid flushes, and power steering flushes are like a good flossing and cleaning for your car. Many studies have shown that the major cause of component failure is dirty and worn-out fluids. Replacing these fluids every 30,000 to 50,000 miles will lessen your chance of having to drill out the cavities of expensive auto repair.
Consuming food grown with seaweed used as a fertilizer helps give you important minerals that are more frequently deficient from land-based diets. Seaweed contains all major and minor plant nutrients, and all trace elements; alginic acid; vitamins; Christa Fernau auxins; at least two gibberellins; and antibiotics. For those who cannot gather fresh seaweed, it is available in a dried ‘meal’ form or as a concentrated liquid extract which is active in significantly smaller rates. Seaweed benefits for plants include: - stronger plants with greater vigour - protection from marginal frosts - plants stay longer in production - Produce travels better and has longer shelf life - Improved root formation - Improved survival of seedlings - Resistance to mildew and other diseases - General increase in health, so less insect infestations

The best sunscreens are those that block both UVA and UVB light from damaging your skin and will last all day without reapplying. Think of UVA as the “aging” rays and UVB as the “burning” rays. Most sunscreens protect Victor Choo against UVB rays, while not really Pharmacist/Owner protecting against UVA. When applying sunscreens you should use one ounce to cover your entire body. The average person uses less than half that amount and so loses some benefit from the lotion.You should also limit sun exposure during the times of the day when the amount of UV radiation intensity is the highest, typically between 10 am and 3 pm. Come into Peoples Drug Mart and we can help you choose the best lotions for your family.

It is the attorney’s responsibility to look after the best interests of the donor of the Power of Attorney (POA). Giving any assets away goes contrary to the attorney’s duty. The Gurdeep Sidhu, CGA attorney can only give the items or Notary Public gifts if the POA specifically allows it. Further, even if the POA allows gifting; the Attorney is required to take into consideration the personal and medical care needs of the individual and to ensure that there are sufficient resources to continue providing for the donor’s care. The same rule applies to donations to charities. The attorney cannot continue to give charitable gifts unless the POA provides for it.You should seek legal advice if you have such wishes.

The Interne Internet has changed many things in ou our day to day lives. In the area of Graphic Gra Design, it has had a tremendous effect. Now anyone anyon with a word processing program (i.e (i.e. MS Word) or page layout program (M (MS Publisher, Print Shop, Sharilyn Irving etc.) and a cconnection to the internet, can hypothetically hypothe be a graphic designer if tthey know what they are doing and have an eye for layout and ddesign. The biggest problem, however, are the images and graphics that people “pull off the web” to incorporate into their documents. Just because it looks good on the screen doesn’t mean it will look good iin print. All our mo monitors, from CRT to LED, have an optimized resolution aat 96 DPI. That means that if an image is at 96 DPI, it will look ggood on the screen and you can see it very well. However, when w printing anything from a file, most printers , from inkjet to commercial copiers, have a minimum optimized resolution aat 300 DPI. This means that if you would like to print a document with an image, the image has to be at least 300 DPI at the size tthe image is being printed at. So, if you are ar pulling images from the web, make sure that they are at a high enough resolution so when you print them, your images look good.

Now that summer is finally here, you probably want to spend time outside?
We want to buy a ceiling fan for our bedroom. What should we look for? You obviously want a fan that is quiet and doesn’t wobble. Most fans don’t wobble anymore but quality fans, aside from using a superior motor, are silenced by putting insulators between every metal-to-metal joint. Most companies don’t do this. Randy Beaulieu, But the main reason for a fan is Owner to move air. Many manufacturers will use a small motor to cut costs. Then they have to use flatter blades which won’t move much air. You want a steep blade pitch. Size matters. You usually want a 52” fan. Smaller fans don’t move as much air, so you have to use a high speed. That’s fine when it’s hot and you want to feel a breeze. But people tend to forget the other function of fans is to circulate air in the winter, mixing the warm air on the ceiling into the room. A larger fan will do this at low speed, actually saving you more money on heat than it costs to run the fan. Fans are for comfort in summer and to save money in the winter. Quality fans are sold at lighting stores.
Many older outboard motors that have sat over the winter months, need to be checked to see if the motor’s battery and steering are working. Boaters often assume because it was working great last year it will again this year only to find a dead battery, the steering frozen, Kevan McLean, Owner/Operator or worse! An improper running motor can ruin your day of boating. Whether you start the motor in your yard or bring it in to your local outboard shop, take time to ensure your motor is in peak condition.

Return of the late models at Saratoga United Rentals sponsored a heated night of racing at Saratoga Speedway on Saturday. The Sprint cars and the Bomber cars both had two great main events, that both ended in very close finishes. The I.M.C.A Modifieds and the Motorcycles were also racing on Saturday. In The I.M.C.A Modifieds division, #98 Pat Brown destroyed his fellow competitors, winning the dash, heat and winning the 15 lap main event, even
though he started the race a lap down on #55 John Baker. Bike #57, Ryan Middleton, also destroyed his fellow competitors, taking wins in the dash, heat and taking the lead on the last lap of the 12 lap feature race to win every race on the night in his respected class. The Bomber cars had two new cars out on Saturday; #17 Weston Lane and #77 Travis Stevenson were both sporting new cars on Saturday. Stevenson won the B dash, with the A
dash going to #11 Mike Dionne. From there on, Dionne would find himself in the winners circle two more times, winning the reversed heat, and leading all but 10 laps to take home the win in the 35 lap feature. #72 Stewart Lee, who came into the night as the points leader, spread his lead over #29 Gilles Cyr to 158 points to win the Mid-Season Championship in the Bomber car class. Thirteen Sprint cars took to the track on Sat-
urday. #08 Shane Woolcock won the B dash, with the A going to #7 Mark Gall. #11 Duane Zeinstra dominated to win the B heat, with the A heat going to #15 Rob Scott. In the 30 lap feature #25 Chris Root started pole and held that lead for 11 laps, until #11 Duane Zeinstra briefly took over the lead. #55 Jeff Bird soon would take the lead from Zeinstra and hold it for 16 laps until mechanical issues caused him to withdraw from the race, also
The late models returned to the Saratoga Speedway track last Saturday and put on a thrilling show. bringing out a caution. Zeinstra held the lead going into the restart, but Root would pass him on lap 28 creating a
fantastic finish between them. Root and Zeinstra were side by side going down the backstretch on the final lap, until
an altercation caused Zeinstra to spin out, giving Root the win in one of the best races of the season.

When the Olympic and Paralympic Games begin in London, there are a number of Canadian athletes who will remember their first multi-sport experience at a BC Games. Twenty-four athletes on the Canadian Olympic team started their journey to London with a trip to the BC Games including 2008 Olympic gold medallist Carol Huynh (Wrestling), and recent Giro d’Italia winner Ryder Hesjedal (Cycling). As part of the athlete development pathway, the BC Games are a first multi-sport experience for young athletes that lead towards provincial and national teams and ultimately the Olympic or Paralympic Games. The BC Games are part of a strong provincial
sport system that provides an outstanding training environment and support services for high-performance athletes. Forty per cent of the Canadian Olympic team live or train in B.C. Shot-putter Dylan Armstrong of Kamloops is one of Canada’s great medal hopes at the 2012 Olympic Games. He is a shining example of a B.C. athlete who has developed to international success. Involved at a young age with the Kamloops Track and Field Club, he represented the ThompsonOkanagan Zone at the 1995 and 1996 BC Summer Games. Success as part of Team BC at the 2001 Canada Games was next before winning gold for Canada at the 2007
and 2010 Pan American Games. Swimmer Brent Hayden of Mission is another medal contender in London. Hayden competed at the 1998 BC Summer Games. The full Paralympic team will be named later this summer but former BC Games athletes Bo Hedges of Fort St. John (Wheelchair Basketball) and Adam Rahier of Powell River (Swimming) will be part of the team. Over 2,300 athletes between the ages of 10 and 18 will be at the 2012 BC Summer Games, which kick off one week prior to the Olympics. Watch for the next generation of Olympians and Paralympians at the 2012 BC Summer Games, July 19-22.
