Extrication exercise

A student is assisted out of a bus by emergency personnel in Saturday’s mock disaster exercise involving a school bus at Oyster River Fire Hall. Seven fire departments from the Comox Valley participated in a scenario where a school bus collided with a vehicle trying to avoid a cyclist, rolled onto its side and then in turn was run into by two vehicles from behind. The hour-long exercise put emergency personnel through the event under the watchful eyes of trainers. The school bus was provided by the Campbell River Christian School and the students acted as victims.

tional symbols to indicate hazards for falling, for swift water currents and for a waterfall, so they can be easily understood by international tourists and visitors who are unfamiliar with written English. The Coroners Service started an investigation and BC Parks began a formal assessment process for the park immediately after the death of Cornelius Bot on July 18, 2011. Bot, 42, a tourist from the Netherlands, was taking photos when he slipped, fell into the river and was swept over the falls. It was the second similar fatality at the park in five years. On June 25, 2006, Tim Arthur, 35, of Nanaimo was getting a glass of water from the river when he too fell in and went over the falls. Emergency Service Providers and BC Hydro were also consulted during the planning process, and water flow levels were monitored to determine the best location and design for the new viewing structure.

supply would have to be built, the funding issue had yet to be resolved until Tuesday’s announcement. “T his a g reement between the city and BC Hydro is very important to the citizens of Campbell River and our neighbouring community partners,” said councillor Andy Adams, liaison to BC Hydro, in a news release. “The funding provides a solid foundation for us to build on as we work toward the best long-ter m solution for our water supply.” BC Hydro has committed to fund 75 per cent of the estimated costs (up to $12.5 million) of the new drinking water supply system.

But Mayor Walter Jakeway doesn’t want the city to make up the rest of the cost. “It’s not a Campbell River city responsibility,” Jakeway said in an e-mail. “It’s a (BC Hydro) project cost.” As part of the project, BC Hydro plans to replace the three large pipes that transport water from the John Hart Dam to the John Hart Generating Station, with a 2.1-kilometre tunnel. The problem is the city’s drinking water has come from the water flowing through the pipes for 65 years. S t e p h e n Wa t s o n , spokesperson for BC Hydro, said once the tunnel is built, it will be de-watered for scheduled maintenance and inspections, and will be unable to

be the primary water source for the city. That leaves the city with no water supply unless a new system is built. Jakeway said it’s Hydro’s responsibility to provide an alternate system as it’s Hydro’s upgrade project. T h e m ayo r s a i d Hydro’s funding announcement looks,good at first glance, but the city is still left paying a bill. “They can spin doctor the situation all they want, but nothing has changed,” Jakeway said. Watson thinks otherwise. “BC Hydro’s funding contribution will help the city to finalize its water infrastructure decision,” he said. “The city has been very supportive of the John Hart project, and

our ongoing positive relationship has culminated in an agreement on BC Hydro’s funding contribution.” Adams welcomed H yd r o ’s c o n t r i b u tion and said council plans to pursue other sources, such as provincial or federal, funding to make up the balance of the costs. “The city is not in a position to pay for the water intake construction, whether it be from savings or future debt,” he said. “City council supports this agreement for funding support and appreciates BC Hydro’s contribution and continued assistance.” The city hopes to finalize plans, costs and timelines for a new water intake from John Hart Lake in the fall. The John Hart Dam

Generating Station project is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2018 and is expected to create around 400 jobs a year over the five years of construction, according to BC Hydro. The project is set to replace a facility that’s been operating since 1947 to improve power reliability and seismic safety. The project involves replacement of the water intake at the John Hart Spillway Dam, replacing the pipes with a tunnel, constructing a replacement generating station beside the existing station, and building a new water bypass facility. The John Hart project is still undergoing a review by the BC Utilities Commission; a decision is expected by spring 2013.

meeting June 26. Keats received a letter from the city a few days later saying council had adopted her idea. SPCA manager Kathleen Embree, says getting the information on the bylaw signs is a good step. “Having the numbers on the those signs is going to help because people don’t know who to call,” she says. “It won’t increase our response time but it will be easier for the public.” Embree says people do call to report offenders, with Dick Murphy Park (Tyee spit) followed by Robron Park having the most incidents. The SPCA will give out $100 fines to repeat offenders.

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Sheila Keats can’t count the number of times she’s been approached by people frustrated with trying to report incidents to the SPCA. Keats, a volunteer dog walker for the SPCA for at least seven years, says she’s often mistaken as a shelter staffer while out walking the dogs through city parks and recreational areas. On several occasions, she’s been approached by people complaining that they’ve witnessed a dog bylaw infraction, but don’t know how to report it. “A lady approached me saying there was an off-leash incident the other day and she didn’t know the number to call,” Keats says. “I looked at the sign and realized ‘yeah, you’re kinda right.’ Another lady tracked down city hall’s number but was then directed to the SPCA’s number.” Keats says the problem is there is no phone number posted in city parks, where letting dogs off their leash is prohibited under a city bylaw. “The same sense of frustration is felt when they see owners failing to clean up after their pets,” she says. “Many people carry cell phones, but first they have to find the right

Rash of stolen pickups and a jump in property crime

Campbell River RCMP responded to 296 calls for service last week. With the more seasonal warm weather, it appears that property crime has seen a jump in levels. In addition to the usual thefts from boats and motor vehicles, there has been a jump in the thefts of vehicles; namely pickup trucks. Since June 27, there have been five such thefts with all since being recovered.

Smart meter critics energized KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The local chapter of a movement to stop smart meters says the city has a responsibility to protect citizens from the controversial devices. John Warn, the head of the Campbell River chapter of the Coalition to Stop Smart Meters, made a presentation to council last month encouraging councillors to ask for a moratorium on smart meters. Tim Benoit, spokesperson for the local branch, says since the coalition’s delegation June 26, council has “done nothing” and in the process reneged on its responsibilities. “Local government has the responsibility to protect its residents’ health and security,” Benoit said in a news release. “A municipality must take action when it lear ns of something that could be harmful to its residents. It must notify the Minister of Health or take immediate action.”

The coalition claims smart meters pose a health threat because they run on Wi-fi and emit radiofrequency electromagnetic fields, which have been classified by the World Health Organization as a carcinogen. BC Hydro points out that smart meters use the wireless signal to transmit power consumption to BC Hydro three times a day and that the meters are active for an average of less than one minute per day. Hydro also says the signal is similar to a radio or television signal and that the radio frequency from a smart meter over 20 years is equivalent to a single, 30-minute phone call. Still, critics of the smart meter warn of other problems. Warn says there have been unverified reports of fridges, ovens and other appliances being destroyed from power surges after and during smart meter installation. The devices also pose a potential fire hazard, he claims. Benoit says the bot-

tom line is BC Hydro did not do proper research before it began putting in the devices, which are scheduled to be installed in Campbell River over the next couple weeks. “The B.C. government legislated this change-over and bypassed the BC Utilities Commission, allowing BC Hydro to ignore the public’s comments and concerns,” Benoit says. Ted Olynyk, spokesperson for BC Hydro, says there’s a great deal of misinformation spreading over the Internet about smart meters. “The Internet is a great place for information, but not all of it is correct information,” he says. Olynyk notes the radiation levels from smart meters are so low that public places with Wi-fi pose a greater health risk than having a smart meter outside your home. He says a one-way trip from Departure Bay to Horseshoe Bay on the ferry is the equivalent of the amount of radia-

tion someone would be exposed to in 35 years of having a smart meter. Hydro says the smart meters will allow the corporation to get the lights back on faster in the event of a power outage because the meters will alert BC Hydro immediately of an outage. Hydro says the devices will also allow customers to save money on their hydro bills because the meters allow customers to see their daily energy use. “The rates will go up, but because of a handheld device people can choose to have... you can see what your consumption is so you could make adjustments,” Olynyk said. “Consumers can save five to 15 per cent by making small adjustments.” Still, anyone who wants to delay installation can put a signed note on their old meter. BC Hydro says it will follow up with the customer to discuss any concer ns, but what happens long-term is still undecided.

Our View

Has our ‘green thumb’ turned brown? In the interest of diversifying the economy, perhaps another line could be added to the welcoming sign at the south end of the city. It could read: Drop off your scrap metal We say: The city’s here! We’re kidding, of course, but the south entrance busiest entryway to our beautiful has become an city is an eyesore. The large industrial-style greyeyesore metal sign was never an eye-pleaser and provides a vivid contrast to Nanaimo’s well-done entrance signs; which is ironic given that the City of

Nanaimo generally resembles one long strip mall. But we digress. Our ugly sign was helped out by the beautiful garden of annuals planted in foreground plot. One year a diligent and esthetically-minded city gardener even managed to arrange the flowers in the colours and style of the city’s logo. Nice. But with this year’s tax hikes and spending cutbacks, the nice little garden plot has gone to grass and weeds. It’s also overgrown and gives visitors the distinct impression that either no one is home or nobody cares.

That’s disheartening especially after the last few years of entering, and receiving accolades, for the national Communities in Bloom contest. It’s as if the city’s collective “green thumb” suddenly turned brown. The city obviously cannot afford these little “frills” so why can’t the job of gardening our entrances be turned over to the Campbell River Garden Club or other volunteers? They would do a great job and would take pride in their work. And perhaps they could even run a few flowering vines over that hideous sign.

Letters

Join pick-a-weed-a-day As we all know, Campbell River is going through an awkward year due to financial difficulties. However, that doesn’t mean that we as citizens have to be surrounded by a sea of weeds when we go for a walk or drive through the city. The city staff are doing what they can. As private citizens we can do our part to get us through to better times. If every person, whiling for a walk in our fair city, just pulled one weed a day, it would make a great difference in the appearance of our city. Although weeds are a natural occurrence, in general, their appearance reflects a feeling of not caring and giving up. That could not be further from the truth in Campbell River. Visitors, tourists and citizens need to absorb the atmosphere of “this is a great place to live.” We do have it all. Please join the pick-a-weed-a-day movement to get the “Five bloom” distinction of Communities in Bloom back again this summer.

B.C.’s focus on liquefied natural gas makes no sense BY BEN PARFITT In 2009, British Gas, a leader in the global liquefied natural gas (LNG) trade, submitted a voluminous environmental assessment report for a massive new gas processing plant and export terminal in Australia’s Queensland state. The plant, now under construction and scheduled to open in 2014, will produce just slightly more gas than two proposed LNG projects that have passed environmental reviews and been granted approvals to export processed gas from the Kitimat area on British Columbia’s central north coast. Since we are now, according to BC’s Minister of Energy and Mines Rich Coleman, in a “foot race” with Australia to ship our natural gas to Asian markets, we might

want to reconsider the wisdom of doing so in light of two disturbing facts in that report from Down Under. When British Gas released details on its Queensland plant three years ago, there were no fewer than 17 LNG plant proposals under consideration in Australia. In B.C. there are currently about half a dozen. To grease the wheels of LNG developments here in B.C., Premier Christy Clark recently announced that her government would amend its Clean Energy Act so that natural gas qualifies as a “clean” fuel when it is used to power up LNG plants. She was notably silent on what this means for the government’s legislated greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets. It’s no surprise why. When the Queensland LNG plant is in

full production, the combustion of natural gas in its state-of-the-art combined cycle turbines, the venting of CO2 from the feed gas entering the facility, and the flaring of gas at the facility will result in 2.8 million tonnes of additional greenhouse gas emissions per year. Such emissions should give British Columbians pause. The National Energy Board has granted two LNG projects proposed for the Kitimat area — BC LNG Export Cooperative and Kitimat LNG — the rights to export virtually the same volume of gas as the plant in Queensland. In addition, Shell has recently announced that it is considering constructing what could be a third LNG plant in Kitimat that would produce another 12 million tonnes of LNG. Were all three BC plants to materialize

and be powered by natural gas turbines as Premier Clark has given them the green light to do, the increase in B.C.’s greenhouse gas emissions would be enormous – potentially another 5.7 million tonnes, based on the projected performance in Queensland. Such an increase would push B.C.’s overall emissions as of 2010 up another 9.1 per cent. That’s precisely the opposite of what we need to do. By 2020, B.C. is by law supposed to have reduced its overall emissions to 33 per cent below 2007 levels. Worse, the emissions associated with getting all of the natural gas out of the ground to run through those LNG plants will be even higher. Clark and Coleman ignore such Continued on Page 9

OPINION

MP turns his back on science This month scientists from all across Canada held a funeral march on Parliament Hill for the “death of evidence.” They were protesting how North Island MP John Duncan and his Conservative government are ignoring evidence in policy-mak-

ing, cutting off funding to vital research and preventing government scientists from presenting evidence to the public. This nor mally reserved group was moved to noisy protest by a set of decisions of the Conservative government that shows

disregard for the hard work that our scientists do to generate knowledge for the benefit of Canadians. The Conservatives are eliminating the Experimental Lakes Area, which we have used for 40 years to protect us from poisons in our water.

They killed the mandatory long form census, depriving us of a clear picture and understanding of the circumstances that Canadians face in their daily lives. Scores of federal scientists will no longer be monitoring and reporting to us about

the environment that o u r ch i l d re n a n d g randchildren will have to live in. I believe that to make good decisions you need good data. Yet Mr. Duncan and the Conservatives are eroding that data, bit by bit. MP Ted Hsu, Science and Technology Critic

troubling details, arguing that natural gas is “clean” when burned to liquefy gas that is then sold to China, Korea and Japan, and allegedly displaces the burning of coal. In this, they may have company. NDP energy critic John Horgan has mused that he’s untroubled by “burning a little gas” here if it displaces the burning of allegedly dirtier fuels somewhere else.

Submissions to the Mirror

FRIDAY, JULY 20, 2012 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR |

B.C. politicians may wish this “displacement” to happen, but in truth there is little evidence to suggest that it will. A more plausible outcome, based on the fact that greenhouse gas emissions in China, Japan and Korea continue to rise and that there is no global commitment to cap such emissions, is that those countries and others will end up burning more gas and more coal.

As disquieting as it is to see our government apparently abandoning B.C.’s climate change commitments, equally alarming is that their boosterish stance on LNG exports also ignores some troubling economic realities. In its Queensland LNG report, British Gas noted that there was only a narrow window of opportunity to get its new plant into o p e r a t i o n . T h a t ’s because the supply of natural gas from Aus-

tralia alone could flood export markets and send prices spiraling down. “It is unlikely that all but a few projects will proceed,” the company reported, adding that it was critical to the company’s financial bottom line to win the so-called foot race and have its Queensland operation in operation by no later than 20142015. In the global race to supply Asia with LNG, it looks like Queen-

sland is well ahead. Which begs the question: Why do B.C.’s elected leaders persist in entering a race that looks more and more like a climatic and economic race to the bottom?

| CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR | FRIDAY, JULY 20, 2012

Mine should do something about the beer cans by the roadside In June, my wife and I camped at Ralph River and hiked the beautiful trails in Strathcona Park. Unfortunately, a sight we were disappointed and frustrated to see was the countless empty beer cans strewn along the side of Westmin Road, most concentrated at the

entrance to the Myra Falls mine site but continuing consistently to as far as 15 kilometres away from the site. O bv i o u s ly, t h e s e beer cans could be left by people other than mine employees, but I think it would be delusional to attribute the vast majority of them

to any other group of people. Mine employees and outdoor enthusiasts are the two largest groups of people using that highway, and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine many outdoor enthusiasts dumping trash in the very wilderness they have traveled so far to

see. Tossing away cans is unacceptable from both public safety and environmental perspectives. My wife and I biked between Ralph River and the Myra Falls mine site several times and picked up as many cans as we could fit in our back packs,

but we hardly made a dent in the debris. I do not think for a second that all mine employees are to blame for this mess. Actually, I imagine it is caused by a very small group. Re g ardless, such behaviour is thoughtless and dangerous, and I believe that

Nyrstar should make an effort to address the problem. I w ro t e N y r s t a r about this very topic two weeks ago, but have not received a response, which is why I have decided to take my complaint public. As both a paramedic, who sees the fallout of

Photo op aside, it’s good to see some co-operation Summer is here at last and hopefully that’s good news for our busy tourism sector on the North Island. I know that the ridiculously high ferry fares have had an impact on some businesses. The season is short and there is a great deal of economic and emotional investment on both the business and consumer end. I have been working with some tourism operators in facilitating meetings with the Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation to explore ways of integrating their needs with those of the natural resource sectors. Our communities survive because we can

find balances between differing needs and demands. Minister Pat Bell returned to Campbell River last week, for the second round of meetings on the pilot jobs plan. There is no question that the tight time frame for the pilot is linked to the election timetable and a quickly org anized meeting could be an excuse for a government photoop, but that doesn’t lessen the importance of working together on economic regeneration. Rivercorp, the economic development agency in the city, has been bringing projects together and the community is dedicated in

It is also troubling that there is still not clarity on whether a P3 will also mean the privatization of cleaning and other jobs presently done by unionized health authority employees. As critic for the Minister of Children and Family Development I continue to have meetings with various individuals and organizations about the ministry’s operation. In particular I am hearing a great deal of concern about the new multi-million dollar computer system (ICM) which has

been introduced but which does not meet the needs of front line social workers. This is an issue I have already raised with the minister in the Legislature and will continue to pursue. I have been asked what is happening with the Opposition’s four-person forestry committee, of which I am a member. It is in abeyance for the time being while our two forestry critics are working on a legislative committee looking at timber supply and the impact of the mountain pine beetle. July is a good time

Learn more about fish farms and sightsee too Local salmon farms are once again opening their doors to the public for the BC Salmon Farmers Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summer tour program out of Campbell River. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These tours are a great opportunity for people to come and see for themselves the diligence and hard work each farmer puts towards carrying for their fish, and to ask any questions they have about how farms operate each day,â&#x20AC;? said David Minato, community relations co-ordinator. The tours run each Thursday until Sept. 13, each week bringing up to 11 people to a Campbell River-area farm to learn more about finfish aquaculture: an important local business which is sometimes misunderstood. This public program is starting a few weeks later than usual this year as a result of heightened biosecurity measures temporarily in place by local companies. Tours resume on Thursday, July 26. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re glad to have this program back for the sixth year running: it really is the best way for people to learn, first hand, about salmon farming. Our farmers are happy to have visitors so they can share more about the work theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so proud to do,â&#x20AC;? said Mary Ellen Walling, the associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive director. Tours depart from Discovery Launch Water Taxis in Campbell River at 9 a.m. and last about four hours. The boat ride takes visitors through the Seymour Narrows â&#x20AC;&#x201C; offering beautiful scenery and the chance to see marine wildlife such as seals, otters and whales. Tours include lunch and cost $50 per person. Reservations are required and are being taken now â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to book your spot, phone Minato at (250) 286-1636 ext. 224.

Visitors check out the netpen at a salmon farm off Quadra Island.

You can see the colour drain from people’s faces.” Some of Taberner’s best memories also include spending summers sailing out at Desolation Sound and watching the bears and the eagles flying overhead. “It’s a beautiful area here,” Taberner said. “Everyone rips on Campbell River, but it’s so beautiful here, there’s so much to see.”

Keegan Taberner recalled one of his most memorable sailing excursions when he took out his friends – who had no sailing experience – for a ride and they ran into stormy weather. “They got a little nervous and it’s funny watching them because they’re going ‘It’s all over!’ and I know it’s fine,” he said. “On a little, 24-foot boat we went out once and it got quite rough. It was fine, but just watching their faces, it was funny for me,

short legs. The trip is broken down into 35 legs, with stops in 28 communities on the Island and in Washington. At each stop, Taberner has already contacted local media and hopes people will come down to the dock and meet him. “I’m encouraging people to come down so I can raise awareness of juvenile diabetes and hopefully, if they’re feeling generous, raise some funds,” he said. “It’s going to be great to meet everybody and it’s going to be a neat cultural experience. I’ve never been to Kyuquot, so I’m excited for that.” As his departure date nears, Taberner said he’s not feeling any nerves, he’s just anxious to get out on the water. “I’m actually really excited,” he said. “This trip is a bit shorter but it’s still long.” Taber ner departs Campbell River this Monday from Discovery Harbour Marina between 1-1:30 p.m. and the public is invited to see him off. Taberner, who has so far raised $15,000, is also still taking donations for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund through his website, www.keegantaberner.com

Nahwitti Bar, just north of Port Hardy, there can be some crazy winds in there. Brooks Peninsula on the west coast, there’s essentially nothing, just this big jutting out rock and you have to sail around it.” Although as the skipper Taberner will be responsible for navigating the challenging waters and tides, he won’t be alone. Friend Carsen Black, 18, who Taberner graduated with, has sailing experience and will do the entire journey with Taberner.

Eighteen-year-old Ke e g a n Ta b e r n e r dreamed of sailing to Hawaii and back. He was set to live his dream earlier this month before things changed. Taberner, who had tentatively planned to embark on his journey July 1, to raise money for juvenile diabetes, has altered his schedule and his map. Taberner, who graduated from Timberline Secondary School in June, was to sail 16,000 kilometres in six months. His plan, dubbed “Keegan Taberner’s Sail for Juvenile Diabetes,” was to travel for six months south to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico before heading over to Hawaii and then back up the Strait of Juan de Fuca towards home. But because of costly boat insurance required to enter U.S. waters, Taberner had to tweak his route at the last minute. He also realized his mission might be more effective by keeping it local. Taberner’s goal is to raise money and awareness of juvenile (type 1) diabetes, a disease he’s lived with since he was two-years-old. Since then Taberner

has had to take insulin injections four times every day. “After sitting down and thinking about it, I thought it would be better to focus on raising awareness in one area rather than spreading ourselves too thin,” Taberner said. Taberner’s new route will take him 1,700 kilometres around Vancouver Island. Starting in Campbell River and heading north towards Port Hardy, Taberner will make his way around the west side of the Island until he hits Port Renfrew. From there, he plans to sail along the Washington State coast, dipping down into Seattle and then cruising back up along the coast of the Mainland up to Powell River before making his way north and back across to Campbell River. He leaves Monday and plans to return to Campbell River Sept. 17. His trip was delayed a few weeks because preparations weren’t complete on his boat in time for a July 1 departure. Taber ner’s Aloha 34-foot sailboat, named Themistocles in honour of the Athenian general credited with persuading Greece to build a navy, came from Oak Bay. Bring-

Christine williams and her husband were paddling the Campbell River estuar y near Baikie Island when they spotted this: A grey whale! The couple was totally awed.

Wild salmon tested for disease The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has begun collecting and testing wild salmon off the coast of British Columbia to determine the status of three salmon diseases: infectious haematopoietic necrosis, infectious pancreatic necrosis and infectious salmon anaemia. While all three diseases are no risk to human health, they are highly contagious and can cause mortality in wild and aquaculture salmon.

Infectious haematopoietic necrosis is known to exist in certain species and populations of wild finfish in British Columbia. The surveillance initiative will determine its presence in certain species and populations of wild finfish in British Columbia. Infectious pancreatic necrosis and infectious salmon anaemia have not been confirmed in British Columbia. Through this initiative, approximately 5,000 wild salmon will

be collected annually, for a minimum of two years. The Agency will also evaluate the ongoing testing of farmed salmon. All disease testing, as well as any activities undertaken to respond to confirmed cases, will follow international guidelines and national aquatic animal health requirements. Any confirmed disease cases will be reported on a monthly basis through the agency’s website.

Province helps with school supplies The province has fast-tracked increases to the school startup supplement so income and disability assistance clients – and now hardship assistance clients – with children in school can receive the extra money in time for the start of the school year.

Families on assistance will now receive $100 for every child aged 5-11 (up from $84) and $175 for every child 12 and over (up from $116). As well, the school startup supplement is being extended to children on hardship assistance.

Payment will be on the August assistance cheque issued at the end of July and is expected to benefit approximately 23,000 children this school year. For more information visit www.eia.gov. bc.ca/clientinfo/index

We often take the modern world and its many conveniences for granted. Yet one hundred years ago, the early North Island settlers overcame formidable obstacles every day to survive, and still found time and energy for fun. The Museum at Campbell River invites you to come explore these two dimensions of pioneer life at the drop-in Pioneer Day, on July 25 from 1-4 p.m. Costumed guides will tell you all about daily pioneer life, then let you try it out. You can wash clothes the hard way, receive an oldfashioned school lesson, and experience the simple joys of pioneer games and toys.

Park addition needs $$ support Area residents have formed a group called Save the Heart of Quadra Parks, to raise funds toward the purchase of a 395-hectare property on north Quadra Island. The land forms a key link between existing parks at Octopus Islands and Small Inlet. “These parks are treasured by boaters and area residents,” says committee member Jeanette Taylor, “but few realize the jigsaw-shaped property at their core is privatelyowned timberland.” The land includes a portage trail that runs between Waiatt Bay and the head of Small Inlet. A trail continues past a waterfall and on to the turquoise blue Newton Lake. “The real challenge here,” says Taylor, “is that we have to raise $200,000 before the end of September.” The BC Parks Branch has had the property on their top-10 acquisitions list for over a decade. They signed of f on a purchase agreement this spring

Kayakers pull up to one of the Octopus Islands on North Quadra Island.

and a campaign kicked into gear to meet the $6.15 million purchase price. The province hopes to achieve this through a combination of carbon tax credits, land swaps and grants. They have asked area residents to join them, to raise part of the funds and provide a demonstration of community support that acts as leverage. Judy Leicester, who co-ordinates much of the volunteer work on

Quadra Island’s vast network of trails, is proud of the fact that a the local committee has already amassed $45,000. About a third of those funds have come through contributions to a “$1,000 Club,” and more has been pledged. The first 22 people to sign up for the club will enjoy a daytrip to the parks aboard Mothership Adventure’s historic boat the Columbia III this fall.

The committee is also looking for donations of $10,000 and up, which will be permanently recognized on a stone cairn. The marker will be placed on the portage route in the proposed addition to the parks. “Contributors to this purchase are showing vision,” says Leicester.

“This wilderness area will take on increasing importance in the future, as the population rises. Residents now, and in a century from now, will thank us for this.” The parks on north Quadra Island link to a coast-wide chain of protected areas that are prized by boaters. “So who cares about a place that’s off the beaten track?” asks Taylor. “Boaters of every size and stripe, for sure. Anyone who has ever paddled their kayak into Waiatt Bay or gone ashore in their dingy to hike the trail to Newton Lake for a swim, will want this place preserved as is.” For more information, visit www.quadr ap a rk s. c a , wh e re you’ll find a donor form, or call Leicester at 250-285-2663. All donations are welcome. Those at $25 and up are eligible for a tax receipt from Quadra Island Conservancy.

Planning for Life Changes I want to make a Living Will outlining that I2X14 should not be kept alive on arti¿cial life support. What are my options? Gurdeep Sidhu Life supportPLANNING includes treatments such as CPR, arti¿cial breathing FOR LIFE machine, tube feeding, dialysis, etc. It is critical that you clarify whether you want to receive life support under all circumstances or for a trial period and if your medical situation has no improvement then life support should be discontinued or you do not wish to receive life support under any circumstances. If you don’t have a Living Will the health care providers and your family tends to keep you alive longer then you might have wished. If your decision is to have all means used to keep you alive and then all available arti¿cial means will be used. Under those circumstances, discontinuance of life support becomes dif¿cult decision for the health care providers. If you absolutely refuse the life support then you run the risk of health care providers taking it lightly and chances are that they may not provide the life support when it could extend your life. I tend to recommend the trial period approach. Doctor in consultation with your family will be able to decide what is best for you in the given circumstances. Existence of the Living Will shows that how seriously you were thinking about these dif¿cult matters. Even if the decision is made by the doctor and family members; your Living Will makes it easier for them to make the decision of discontinuation of the life support. You should review and approve your Living Will to show that your wishes are still the same. “Planning for life changes” is a not-for-proﬁt group made of local professionals who will be providing free seminars that will cover various aspects of life including retirement planning, income taxes, Wills and Power of Attorney, real estate matters, and funeral planning.

The week of July 15–21, 2012

LIBRA

TAURUS

Some emergencies will weigh you down, but you will be able to return to your active social life with a feeling of having done your duty.

If you’re going on vacation this week, you might ﬁnd the roads are very busy. It will require you to have a lot of patience, but it will mean you spend some unexpected quality time with your family.

SCORPIO

GEMINI

If you’re leaving on vacation, be sure not to forget your passport and other necessary documents. Only by being well-organized and structured will you be able to enjoy this year’s holiday.

SAGITTARIUS

You are skilful in the art of communication and you are sure to be at the heart of a really interesting discussion. There seem to be some great parties on the horizon!

CANCER If you have recently moved, it’s clear that your decorating eﬀorts are not yet over. Don’t skimp on ways to make your nest cozy and welcoming.

LEO At the beginning of the week you will be confronted with a few contradictory situations, but be patient and clariﬁcation will come. After that, you will be ready to participate in all the activities people suggest to you.

VIRGO You might see the need to make some adjustments in your circle of friends. You will need to spend some time ANSWER TO CROSSWORD

Your plans could change at the last minute, perhaps because of a family event that has to be postponed. You will still be able to have some fun in a group.

CAPRICORN It’s not always easy to get along with family members, as there are a lot of emotions involved. Some eﬀort will be necessary to keep the peace.

AQUARIUS Even if you’re on vacation, don’t be surprised if your boss asks you to put in a few hours. You will be generously rewarded, and perhaps a promotion is on the horizon.

Drive Smart BC Stopped by the Police - What do I do Now?

2X14

We live in a wonderful country where violence is still something relatively rare. If we are stopped by the police we tend not to worry and dig out our driver’s license and vehicle registration wherever it might be in the vehicle. Some people even get out and walk back to the police car to see what is going on. These actions are meant to be polite and save time but today are not the right thing to do. The police perspective is a difficult one. Officers realize that people mean well, and that almost always these actions are not threatening. On the other hand, police stop people every day in British Columbia that have significant criminal records and may present a very real threat. These circumstances are not known in advance and each vehicle stop must be approached with care to avoid violence, but not upset those who are honest, well meaning people. You can play a big part in making every vehicle stop a safe experience. Stop promptly and instruct everyone in your vehicle to sit still and be quiet. Keep your hands in clear view. If it is dark, turn on your interior light. Wait for the officer to approach and explain why you have been stopped, then follow his requests. Stay in your vehicle and continue to be still and quiet until the stop is concluded. In short, don’t do anything that might be mistaken as a possible threat. If your first reaction is that this column sounds ridiculous, I would like to agree with you, but times are changing. The problem today is that officers cannot immediately determine who is and isn’t a threat, and for their own safety must consider all the potentials and be prepared to deal with them.

Tyees head into final home games Heated battle in 150-lapper Fresh off a four win weekend the Marine Harvest Mosquito AAA Tyees entered game action Sunday hoping to continue the streak in Comox vs the Comox AAA Tier II Cardinals and the Duncan AAA Tier I Redsox. In Game one against Comox perhaps the Tyees were looking past the lower tiered Comox team to the second match vs rivals Duncan as they started slow and could not produce any offence against a younger, less experienced team. On the flip side, Comox arrived ready and motivated to beat a Tyee team that had taken two earlier matches. Over six solid innings the Cardinals continued to add a few runs and played exceptional defence whenever the Tyee bats seemed ready to breakthrough. With their last at bat in the sixth inning, the Tyees seemed to be getting some momentum, but once again Comox was near flawless in the field, ending the Tyee hopes and beating them 6-3. Despite a first inning error, Comox was flawless in the field over six well played innings and charged off the field after the final out to a very well deserved win. As game two got under way it seemed the Tyee’s struggles at the plate would

continue as Duncan slowly built up a 3-0 lead over the first three innings. Cole Devlin led off the fourth inning with a ground ball that skipped past the

shortstop, followed by a hard groundball by Nathan Lagos that took a Tyee bounce by the Duncan second baseman. Brayden McClary followed with a line-drive

d o u bl e d ow n t h e right field line and the Tyees were on the board with Devlin scoring from second. After a Brodie Commerford walk, Connor Hall cleared the

bases as the Tyees reached their four run limit for the inning. In the top of the fifth, with Hall on the hill, despite issuing a few walks, he was able to hold the Duncan team to one run aided by the Tyee defence. In the bottom of the fifth, the Tyees struck again as the Duncan pitching struggled, issuing walks to Derek McPhee, Jamie Ingersoll, Bryn Girvin and Dayton Ring. A pair of doubles by Nico Matheson and Tyler Downey put the Tyees at four runs again, giving them an 8-4 lead. After a pair of opening walks to start the sixth, the Tyees surrendered one run before pitcher Commerford settled in and retired the next three batters on two infield groundouts and capped by a game ending strikeout leading to an 8-5 final. The win was positive after a disappointing start to the day. This weekend the Tyees host Victoria AAA Tier 1 for two games on Saturday beginning at 11:45 a.m. followed by another d o u bl e - h e a d e r v s Duncan on Sunday beginning at 11:45 a.m. All games will be at the Nunns Creek Mosquito field. Come cheer on the Tyees as next week they move onto the Island Zones in Victoria. These will be the last home games of the year.

After 150 laps, eight cautions, and some of the best racing ever displayed at Saratoga Speedway, #07 Wade Bland who was racing at Saratoga Speedway for the first time came out victorious in the Thrifty Foods 150 lap race. The Bomber cars, Dwarf cars and the I.M.C.A Modifieds also put on some good racing on Saturday. In the Modified division, #00 Bart Smith who was also racing in the Late Model division, dominated five other Modifieds in the 20 lap feature, leading every lap to win his fourth main event of the year. Twelve Dwarf cars took to the track for the 20 lap feature main event. #44 Bob Greenaway led for the first four laps until #34 Ike Armitage passed him in turn four to take the lead and he would never look back from there winning his second main event of the year. #33 Brian Baltis had his best night of the year in the Bomber car division. Baltis won the only heat, and led all 20 laps to win his first main event of the season. In the Late Model division, #16 Rory Smith won the B heat, with the A heat going

to #45 Aaron Wilkie. Smith started pole for the 150 lap main event. Smith held the lead for the first five laps, until #88 Tyler Clough over took the lead on the front stretch. Clough led for 25 laps, but Smith would briefly re-take his lead for six laps. On lap 39, #86 Tom Berrow found his way around Smith to take the lead. Seven cautions would take place over the next 50 laps, causing the field to shrink to 11 cars. Berrow was dominating the field, leading for 105 laps and it looked like no one could catch him; but on lap 144, Bland found himself on Berrow’s bumper. Lap cars would play a huge factor on lap 145; Berrow risked it and went high around the lap cars and got boxed in, giving Bland the lead and he would never look back from there, winning the Thrifty Foods 150. Berrow would finish in second. Berrow won the first place money prize though, finishing the night with the most overall points. Extra laps...Next weekend marks the return of the Crash to Pass cars, Roadrunners and the Hornet cars after two weeks off.

Merlins spend little time perching as they capture their prey mid-air coming to perch to devour their food. Once prey is spotted, the merlin will relentlessly chase the prey literally knocking it out of the sky with formidable talons; due to their power and speed they are able to attack a bird the same size as themselves. Although birds are their main food source they will also dine on large dragonflies, insects and moths and the occasional rodent. Unlike most raptors merlins do not mate for

eagles as they often choose nests that are in close proximity to eagles’ nests. The choice of nest for one merlin family in Campbell River proved to be dangerous for the chicks as the eagles did attempt to snatch an easy meal and the chicks were found under the tree. A simi-

lar situation also happened in Courtenay ending up with three chicks coming to the Mountainaire Avian Rescue Society (MARS) in Merville. It has been several years since MARS rescued multiple merlins and it seems that the increase of urban expansion is pushing them into more precarious nesting areas along with many other wildlife species. Small falcons and hawks are difficult patients to rehab in captivity, especially the young as they need live prey to chase and capture, a skill that needs to be passed on from the parents. The merlins, together with the osprey that was attacked in April, have been transferred to OWL in Ladner where they have foster parents and large flight pens to condition the birds ready for their hopeful retur n and release in the Comox Valley. A sad update to report: The tiny great blue heron lost its

struggle for survival. It really was an uphill battle for such a small specimen, but hopefully we gained valuable experience in the rehabilitation of any future cases. On a final note, MARS is sending out a seal pup alert. These marine mammals are now giving birth to their pups and already we have admitted “kidnapped” babies. Please remember that mother seals will beach their pups to go off hunting returning on the high tide so DO NOT PICK UP PUPS. If in any doubt please call MARS emergency line at 1-800-304-9968 for advice before intervening, keep dogs and people away from the pups. A huge thank you to all the teachers and students who supported MARS educational programs over the last school year, I look forward to seeing you all again in the coming year.
