Blair Mark, 16, was surprised last Saturday to discover the city has installed speed bumps over a culvert at the bottom of a hill on Galerno Road. The speed bumps were installed without any notice to protect the culvert from damage caused by vehicles travelling at higher speeds.

Ear Infections in Dogs Paws & Claws Contributed by: Dr. Nast Campbell River Veterinary Hospital
Enjoy the summer with your bestfriend!
Infection of the external ear canal (outer ear infection) is 7x14 called otitis externa and is one of the most common types of infections seen in dogs. Some breeds, particularly those with large, oppy or hairy ears like Cocker Spaniels, Miniature Poodles or Old English Sheepdogs, appear to be more prone to ear infections, but ear infections may occur in any breed. Also, If your dog is a swimmer and gets water in the
PAWS & CLAWS Bert & Ernie

ears, there’s a greater chance of getting ear infections. Ear infections are painful. Many dogs will shake their head and scratch their ears trying to relieve the discomfort. The ears often become red and inamed and develop an offensive odor. A black or yellowish discharge commonly occurs. In chronic cases the ears may appear crusty or thickened and the ear canals often become narrowed due to the chronic inammation. There are several kinds of bacteria and at least one type of fungus that commonly 1250B Ironwood St., cause ear Campbell River 250-286-0077 infections.
Without knowing the speciďŹ c kind of infection present, we do not know which medication to use. In some cases, the problem is a foreign body (hair, grass awns, insects), a polyp or a tumour. Treatment with medication alone will not resolve these problems. It is important that your dog be examined so that things can be sorted out and speciďŹ c treatment started for the patient. Nearly all ear infections that are properly diagnosed and treated can be successfully managed. However, if an underlying cause remains unidentiďŹ ed and untreated, the outcome will be less favourable. Several recheck examinations may be needed before the outcome is successful.

Skateboarder: Speed bumps put in to protect 1st Prize $5000!! Got culvert on Simms Creek under the road
at night when there’s less traffic and tend to stay away from the Willow Point skate park to avoid some “unsavoury people.” Pollock said it was just after midnight when she received a call from Mark asking her to take him to the hospital because he had just had an accident. “I asked ‘what happened?’ and he said he couldn’t see out of (his right) eye and was spitting up blood,” Pollock said. Mark was headed south down the Galerno hill and in the dark couldn’t see the speed bumps. His board hit the small, square speed bumps recently installed at the base of the hill. “He hit it head on – the board stopped and he didn’t,” Pollock said. “His brother said (Mark) flew 10 feet into the air and he landed on his face.” Mark’s brother and friend were at the bottom of the hill spotting and saw the whole thing unfold. “They were both

His brother thought Blair had broken his neck,” Pollock said. “He had his helmet on, thank goodness, or he probably would have broken his neck.” Her son suffered possible fractured ribs, injuries to his left wrist, his right knee, and his right elbow. His right eye was badly bruised and swollen shut. Mark was X-rayed for about 40 minutes, over his entire body to check for damage, and was hospitalized for nearly eight hours. Pollock said he also damaged his Blackberry phone, his Beats headphones and a hoodie he had saved up to buy. Pollock said although the family lives on

Galer no, they were unaware the speed bumps had been put in because they had been away in Victoria. Pollock said she spoke to some of her neighbours and no one knows why the speed bumps are there and why there was no advance warning they were going to be installed. Jennifer Peters, the city’s utilities manager, said the speed bumps were put in late last week to protect the culvert on Simms Creek, that runs under the road. In 2010, an inspector found the culvert was deteriorating and advised the city it needed to be replaced. Peters said the replacement was scheduled for next year but the culvert was inspected again last month and found to be breaking down faster than anticipated. “Our consultant said if we can slow down the traffic there it will help the culvert to not
become further compromised,” Peters said. “A median was put in (about two weeks ago) but it was not very effective so we put the speed bumps in which are very effective.” The area around the speed bumps is also now a 30-kilometre per hour zone. Peters said the speed bumps are temporary and will be removed once construction on the culvert starts in September. Construction is expected to last a couple of weeks. The city has installed signs on either end of the speed bumps warning drivers of the traffic pattern change but
Peters said notification letters were not sent out to nearby residents. “We put the signs up war ning people that the speed bumps are new,” Peters said. “That is standard practice.” Still, Pollock said she wants to raise awareness that the speed bumps are there and can be dangerous because of the way they stick up from the ground. “I don’t want someone else getting hurt,” Pollock. “People ride their bikes down there. We have lots of boarders and kids in the area.”

Development: Motion revised Seymour Pacific’s proposed development for Alder and St. Ann’s.
this is regulatory or even allowed under a development permit process so I have huge reservations. We’re talking about a development permit that has subjects in it, that’s subject to colour, materials, and illumination schemes which I’ve never seen in development permit guidelines. I sit here kind of baffled.� Jakeway said Wednesday that it’s not the city’s place to decide the colour or style of someone else’s building, and that it’s the right of the architect. “Who are we to tell them what their building looks like, they’re the ones paying the millions of dollars,� he said. “I think our employees need to get out of their box. That’s the role of the architect and the owner to determine what the building looks like – that’s their right. “In a free country you should be able to do what you want, within reason and as long as it’s not hurting anybody, without city hall dictating every little detail.�

let you know that.� That prompted City Manager Andy Laidlaw to suggest council strike the third clause – regarding colour, materials, and lighting – from the motion, taking into account Roy had presented design plans to council during a delegation earlier in the meeting. “Maybe just try a compromise on that then,� Laidlaw said. “The developer provided infor mation tonight on the building and some details we didn’t have previously so I’m wondering if it may be an option to strike the third one in this particular case... and leave the second one so that those flexibilities can be moved forward.� Moglove asked if eliminating the third paragraph would help. “Yes, that would be fantastic,� Roy replied. Council then unanimously approved the development permit application. But Jakeway said he’s concerned the city is being too controlling. “I hope to not see those two paragraphs

But Ross Blackwell, city land use manager, said the clauses are aimed at helping the developer and that the paragraph regarding colour is a guideline set out in the city’s new Sustainable Official Community Plan, that is designed to ensure a project fits in with the existing neighbourhood. He said the second paragraph eliminates the need for the developer to come back to council every time a minor change is proposed in the project. “This was primarily designed to benefit the developer by providing sufficient latitude,� Blackwell told council. But that’s not how Seymour Pacific saw it. “This in no way helps us,� Roy responded. “In fact, it does the complete opposite. When I have to build a building such as this that can cost upwards of $15 million, I have to obtain financing of course and when I have a development permit that still has an outstanding approval process, I’m in a really bad situation – just to

again,� he said. “The more it shows up, the harder I’ll fight it. The reason I ran for office is I think the city is not always moving ahead as it should. They (city staff) caused me nothing but grief when I tried to build my building. “Nobody is going to want to come here and build when we’re restricting everything. We’ve got too many rules.�

eymour Pacific Developments and Broadstreet Properties Ltd. employs 250 people and is growing by the day. The Campbell River development company, which stretches across Western Canada, is planning on expanding into Ontario and needs a new, larger home base. “We’re pretty excited to make downtown Campbell River the site of this new building,� said Sean Roy, CEO of Seymour Pacific. “It will have a pretty significant entrance just off of St.Ann’s.... It will be something pretty special, it will redefine downtown, from the way we look at it. “It will really be state-of-the-art engineering.� The five-storey glass building will also have an underground parkade, glass detail and a deck at the top of the building, off the executive suites. “We’re talking about a glass building with an aluminum channel,� Roy said of the building. “As far as colour, we’re dealing with the tint of that window.� The building will also be unique in that it will include a small sliver of parkland running along Alder Street for about 12 feet. The public space is part of a deal with the city. “A land exchange between the city and the company, related to a lane closure in the development area, will result in an extension of the public green space from city hall along Alder Street,� said Ross Blackwell, city manager of land use. Seymour Pacific Developments and Broadstreet Properties Ltd., are locally-owned companies with more than 25 years of experience in land development and construction.

Mayor Walter Jakeway said he was supportive of Seymour Pacificâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development permit application but had trouble with two paragraphs city staff inserted into the recommended motion. The second paragraph of the motion allowed Ron Neufeld, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general manager of operations, to approve minor revisions to the development without having to go through council and the third clause gave Neufeld the authority to determine whether the colour scheme, the materials used, and the exterior illuminations are appropriate. Those paragraphs also didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sit well with Roy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This approval would basically not give us outright approval for a development permit,â&#x20AC;?

Our View
Sorry, but you can’t just do whatever you want While an air of cooperation is obviously a more positive environment in which to run a city, we do have to be careful we don’t bend over too far backwards in our efforts to be helpful. Undoubtedly, the last minute kerfuffle over the approval of Semour Pacific We say: There is Developments downtown complex a valid principal could have been handled better by the city (how often have we heard at play in the that?), there is something to be said approval process for reminding developers that the people of Campbell River have the final say. And, of course, the people are represented by our elected city councillors as advised by municipal employees. For Mayor Walter Jakeway to
say that it’s not the city’s place to decide the colour or style of someone else’s building – that it’s the right of the architect – is wrong. It is very much the city’s responsibility to approve or disapprove of design elements. Now, the mayor is right when he said later that “in a free country you should be able to do what you want, within reason and as long as it’s not hurting anybody.” That was, perhaps, a more positive way to make his point. This issue could have perhaps been dealt with before it came to the council table before people had to choose sides and make a statement on principals. Despite this being a free country, you can’t just do what you want. Council and our civic authorities have a responsibility to ensure
that business is conducted in a way that protects the interests of all of Campbell River’s citizens. If the Official Community Plan requires us to approve design and other elements so that they conform with zoning or fit in an existing neighbourhood, then that’s what we have to do. Seymour Pacific Developments’ building is a landmark project but we can’t be falling all over ourselves to allow it to the detriment of good governance (not that this is, we’re making a point here). The mayor is saying that because this is a big project, it gets to do whatever it wants. I doubt that was Seymour Pacific’s intention. They just wanted to point out a stumbling block that could have been avoided. And that’s fair enough.

Strictest mining laws The Coal Watch group’s argument against the mine is full of misconceptions about the project and is also outdated. We live in B.C. in the 21st century. The mining laws in B.C. are strictest in Canada which is on par with the most stringent laws in the world. The mining process they use is a closed water system. Therefore, the run off will be minimal to non-existent. The mine will be underground in an area that has been extensively logged. No new roads will be built, no trees or animal habitat will be destroyed. In fact, the sad thing is, if there hadn’t been so much publicity about the mine, it could have been in operation without the general public even knowing about it. Unlike Coal Watch, I have met and worked with Compliance Coal on separate projects. They are all locals who live on the west coast with their families and are well respected in their fields. Of course there is the argument that coal is bad. One year ago, after the tsunami in Japan, Germany decided to become non-nuclear. The engineering company charged with the colossal task of making Germany no longer nuclear dependant was Siemens International, Continued on A9

Waving the flag for the ‘lazy runner’ from Black Creek
Paul Rudan No, really
The list of accomplishments appears impressive for Black Creek runner Cam Levins. Yeah, okay, he’s run one of the fastest times in the world this year in the men’s 10,000 metre race, posting a time of 27 minutes, 27.96 seconds; just four seconds off the Canadian record. He won the “easy-smeasey” NCAA 5,000 and 10,000 metre championships in June, running for Southern Utah University. And next week the 23-year-old will somehow drag himself to the starting lines at his first Summer Olympic Games, running for Canadian in both specialities. However, I think he’s lazy. Like, come on Cam, get off your butt and get busy! I know, that sounds pretty harsh
when you consider Cam only runs a paltry 240 kilometres a week. And, yes, I admit he does appear fairly fit, standing 5’10” and weighing in at a svelte 143 pounds. But his laziness will be his undoing. I know this as “fact” because Cam last posted on his blog July 18 – it’s six days later and there’s no update! Geez Louise Cameron, what are you doing? Eating poutine in some greasy dive? Chugging beers in Hooters? Come on now, get busy and get those fingers tapping on the keyboard – what else could be more important? Oh, oh, I see here you are presently “training in Germany” in preparation for the Games. Sounds like an excuse. But don’t believe me, just read this portion of the blog and
decide for yourself. “I’m officially an Olympian!!!!!! I was very lucky that Olympic Trials went well despite the injury problems I was struggling with, but I am completely healthy now. I have gotten back into the swing of things in training and I’m confident I will be ready in August. “Sorry I am not racing in Europe beforehand anymore; I was really looking forward to that London Diamond League meet. However, things rarely go exactly the way you want them to, and you just need to adjust accordingly.” See, just plain lazy. Nevertheless, this reporter will somehow find the energy, motivation and plain ol’ sheer will to click on
the TV, plunk my butt into the plush leather couch and strain as I reach for the potato chips while Cam runs in London. It will require great skill, energy and focus to keep mustard from dripping onto my clean white T-shirt as I scarf down that hero sandwich while Cam runs in the 10,000 metre final on Aug. 4, at approximately 1:15 p.m. Pacific Standard Time. Then I’ll have a few more days sunning myself on Saratoga Beach – right near Cam’s family home – as I psych-up to watch him compete in the 5,000-metre heat. And let me tell ya, it’s going to take all my energy to watch Cam slouch through the heat race which begins Aug. 8, at 2:45 Continued on A9

FOLLOW US ON...
Make use of the city’s 3.5 acres Filed for publication with the Mirror Dear Mayor and Council, At the May 15, 2012 City Council Meeting Adrian Mass, director of finance for the Vancouver Island Regional L i b r a r y, i n fo r m e d mayor and council that the building of a new library for Camp-
bell River could be fast tracked if the City could provide land for the facility. At the June 26, 2012 City Council Meeting the Discovery Passage SeaLife Society requested public land for their new Aquarium. We have publicly owned land in the 3.5
acres, just north of the ferry terminal, that would accommodate both buildings with green space left over. The 3.5 acre site is located in the heart of downtown, making it accessible to the community and tourists alike. This land is zoned Public Assembly 1 for
public use which is in keeping with the City’s Waterfront Acquisition Bylaw and our City Vision of keeping public waterfront access. We request mayor and council take this opportunity to have these public facilities built on the 3.5 acre site with funding provided by the Vancou-
ver Island Regional Library and the Discovery Passage SeaLife Society. We r e q u e s t a response. Thank you. Leona Adams, Diana Kretz, Marianne B. Hall, Morgan Ostler, Lynda Belter, Pat Sewid, Campbell River

Raven coal: Project will provide 300 jobs Continued from A7 commonly known as the Green Giant. Four months ago, they published their answer. The only way for Germany to replace its demand for power is to move to clean coal power plants. Ger many has not
been entirely successful of picking an alternative energy source as a result. The coal deposit in the proposed Raven mine is classified as high grade coal. Most high g rade coal that is shipped to China is used for steel
production instead of burning in a power plant. The provincial gover nment has completed the environmental review of the Raven Project. They will be required to post a bond with the provincial government
for tens of millions of dollars. This bond will be held until the closing and reclamation of the mine is complete and inde pendently assessed. The Raven Coal Project will provide 300 direct jobs for the next 50 years. That’s two
generations of well paying jobs. Please do not let Vancouver Island get left behind because of the uneducated bias opinions of people who fail to see work as an important part of our future. Sean Smyth, Campbell River

Cam will tap into some unknown reservoir to muster the energy to update his blog (camlevins.blogspot.

New library could come by 2015 Transit ridership KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
C a m p b e l l R ive r s hould have a new library in four or five years, according to Vancouver Island Regional Library. That timeline is based on a priority list of communities that need a new facility. Campbell River is fourth on the list but that could change. The city could get itself bumped up, and speed up the process, if the city is prepared to contribute property or participate in capital cost financing, said Ross Blackwell, city land use manager. “Currently the preferred method is the library to pay all capital costs for the facility, pay their operating cost, which of course would be distributed collectively in the annual requisitions to VIRL members,” Blackwell said in a report requested by council May 29 with options for a new or expanded library. “This method of finance would have no impact on the city’s borrowing limits.” Council asked city
staff to look into the feasibility of a new library following a presentation to council May 15 from Vancouver Island Regional Library’s director of finance Adrian Maas and Rosemary Bonanno, the executive director. Maas told council the city’s library is 9.683 square feet, which is undersized for the area it serves. “Based on the population in 2009...the library should be 21,000 square feet,” he said. “If you take a look into the next few years, we should really be looking at 31,000 square feet.” Maas said a study conducted by Vancouver Island Regional Library as part of its new Facility Master Plan revealed that libraries across the Island are too old, overcrowded, and in some cases inaccessible. It also found that some branches suffer from deferred maintenance because of inadequate budgets. In Campbell River, the city pays the annual $25,000 oper-
ating costs while the regional library pays for utilities, electrical and janitorial. It also paid the city $133,141 in lease payments this year. City staff said the library, built in 1970 with renovations in 1987 and 2003, is in good condition and has received new air conditioning and lighting upgrades. Still, Blackwell said the library is a key project for the downtown core, as it reinforces identity and is the cultural cornerstone. He recommended council work with Vancouver Island Re gional Library to discuss building design and land opportunities for a new facility. City staf f have a l re a dy h a d d i s -
cussions with the re gional library regarding possible locations. “There are currently a number of significant pending land development and capital improvement projects scheduled for downtown and this may present an opportunity to coordinate activities,” Blackwell said. Discussions on land assembly are held in-camera, closed to media and the public, and land options weren’t specified. But upcoming downtown developments include the new Seymour Pacific head office on St.Ann’s, a Berwick retirement facility along Robert’s Reach across from McDonald’s, and Rose Harbour – a women’s transition house at
Dogwood and 11th Avenue. Council was expected to consider the possibility of building a new library at its Committee of the Whole meeting this week. City staff were recommending council hold off on any decisions until its next Strategic Planning session. “Council has a number of infrastructure priorities over the next several years including water source upgrades and distribution, liquid waste management and transportation planning,” Blackwell said. “It would be appropriate for council to review the financial implication of a library against other capital priorities.”

ACTIVITY ASSISTANTS IN DEMAND Study part time and learn to improve seniors’ quality of life in just four months
To Deb Provencher, the need to stay active and engaged doesn’t end at 75. It just gets more important to a growing number of seniors every year. The instructor of NIC’s Activity Assistant program brings her passion for senior care to the Comox Valley this fall.
PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT they’re going to demand something more than sitting around watching TV,” Provencher said. “We need to find ways to provide meaning in the lives of individuals in care. It’s such important work; it can’t be minimized.” In 2011, VIHA predicted the number of seniors 75 plus in the Courtenay and Campbell River Local Health Areas would rise 99 to 135 per cent in the next 18 years. By 2030, an estimated 17,100 people may need some help maintaining current levels of physical and intellectual activity. That’s not news to Liz Friis, who oversees activities for 101 residents and 50 adult day clients per week at Glacier View Lodge in Courtenay. Activity assistant training allows her staff to enhance their skills and focus on creativity when working with seniors with complex health issues or memory challenges.

City launches free public Wi-Fi service at the Campbell River Community Free wireless Internet service is now available in the Campbell River Community Centre. This service makes it possible for people at the community centre to access the Internet free-of-charge on their laptops, smartphones, or personal digital assistants (PDAs) while in the building. This service, also known as a “hotspot,” involves offering free Internet access over a wireless local area network. “We’re offering this free service to enhance the customer experience at the Community Centre,” says Michele Sirett, the City’s recreation supervisor. “Free Wi-Fi service is common in municipal buildings in other communities and offers people another reason to drop in at the Community Centre, and we think it will be especially useful for parents who are waiting for children participating in programs,” Sirett adds. “Free Wi-Fi will also
be useful for instructors and people renting spaces, who’ve told us they need Internet access for presentations.” “All content will be filtered, and there will be no access to inappropriate sites,” says Warren Kalyn, the City’s infor mation services manager. “Users should also be aware that the City is not in a position to troubleshoot connectivity issues, and that with public access, data being sent is not encrypted.” To log in to the service, users simply search for “Available Wireless Networks” on their laptop, PDA or smartphone. Select “CRCC hotspot” from the list of available wireless networks. Users must accept the disclaimer page and enter a password provided by the front counter staff. North Island Communications will provide the equipment, installation and ongoing support for this service.

According to North Island Survivors’ Healing Society, both involve adults in positions of power not taking steps to stop the sexual abuse of boys. Most recently, a review released July 11 of the handling of reports of sexual abuse at Penn State University revealed a “callous and shocking disregard for child victims” in favour of protecting the university football program’s reputation. Another report released June 25 revealed that Boy Scouts of Canada also failed to report allegations of sexual abuse by its group leaders to police in 65 instances. Most people are not aware that an estimated one in five boys has experienced sexual abuse by the age of 18. While the details of both stories can be disturbing to the average person, they can be particularly triggering and overwhelming to survivors of sexual abuse. Survivors of abuse may notice strong emotions or impulses to avoid emotions in some way, for example keeping highly busy,
overeating, over-exercising or using substances. It is important for survivors of abuse to understand that being triggered by such a painful topic is a very normal response and there are things that can be done to help; ■ pausing throughout the day to ask oneself “What do I need right now?” and listening for the answer. ■ reducing intrusive images or emotions by using the senses of sight, hearing, and touch to mindfully study what is happening in the here and now ■ reaching out to a supportive person whether that is a trusted friend, an understanding doctor, the Vancouver Island Crisis Line (1-888-494-3888), or a professional trauma counsellor. It takes a courageous man to reach out and ask for help. Campbell River has one of the only non-profit agencies in B.C that offers subsidized professional counselling for men affected by abuse. North Island Survivors’ Healing Society currently has immediate openings in their men’s program. To book an appointment or for more information, call 250-287-3325.

Tired of tasks such as cutting the grass, and shoveling snow? Are you getting uncomfortable lugging laundry baskets, and groceries up and down stairs? Is your family concerned about your well-being? Now is the time to start thinking about downsizing and moving. Anne Delaney Perhaps the thought of moving sounds good, but the thought of selling your home and moving to a smaller place overwhelms you. You are not alone! Making the decision to move is extremely difficult. It is estimated that it takes a minimum of 80 hours to completely sort and pack an average home. This is an enormous task. It is easier if you break the tasks of downsizing into small segments, one drawer, closet, or box at a time. Share with your family and friends cherished items and heirlooms, taking comfort in knowing that these possessions will be appreciated. As with any major life change, there are many factors to consider; finances, the difficulty or complexity of the move, your ability, distance, as well as your support system to name just a few. If the prospect of tackling this on your own is just too much, you can hire a relocation company. Moving is a great time for personal growth. If done with the right mindset a person can have sense of satisfaction about the past, and look forward to the future. Reminiscing is a combination of a little grief and a lot of celebration. The following is a list of what Delaney Relocation and Home Support Services INC can do for you: • Assess your current home and your needs • Assess your new location & how best to accommodate you & your possessions in it • Provide advice to assist your decision-making • Help co-ordinate realtors, appraisers, cleaners, movers etc. • Help downsize and organize your belongings • Help dispose of unwanted items • Handle all your utility and address changeovers • Take care of all the packing • Arrange for cleanup, household repairs and garbage disposal • Keep you and family members updated on progress every step of the way • Have you unpacked and set up by suppertime on moving day

Thanks to a grant from the Queen Alexandra Foundation for Children (QAF), the Delaware Youth Internet Café will remain open for several months to come. QAF gave $31,800 to support this valuable program for youth in Campbell River until the end of March 2013. ‘Delaware-We are Always There’ is the name and slogan chosen by the youth for this youth-led project. Delaware is a drop-in program that offers youth a healthy start to the morning, a nutritious breakfast, literacy and pre-employment skill building, and connections to health programs and other services. The program is available for youth ages 13 - 24 five mornings a week and is located in The John Howard Society of North Island’s Activity Centre in the Campbell River Community Centre. “This place is a place of positivity,” said a young man who regularly attends the drop in. “It gives focus no matter what happens outside. It’s great to have a place that’s outside of addiction and fun and nutritious.” A young woman who also comes to Delaware on a regular basis said the service has helped her out with clothing and work. “And the fact that I can have breakfast every day is great,” she said. The John Howard Society of North Island (JHSNI) operates Delaware in collaboration with Campbell River Literacy Now, Campbell River Family Services, Kwakiutl District Council, Aids Vancouver Island, School District #72, Child and Youth Mental Health – Aboriginal Outreach, Vancouver Island Regional Library, and the Ministry of Children and Family Development.

Campbell River Living Hand-to-Paw helps ease fears and build bonds KRISTEN DOUGLAS
CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Laura Haight is in a wheelchair, but that doesn’t stop her or her new friend Buster from getting to know each another – they even manage to get out in the rain for a short walk. As Haight bends over to pet her canine pal’s shiny tan coat, Buster patiently sits, lapping up the attention. “Good boy,” Haight murmurs as she lovingly strokes the pit bull terrier who’s an SPCA shelter dog. “You’re such a handsome boy.” Haight, 36, is a special needs client at the Campbell River and District Association for Community Living. She has been coming to the SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) every Friday for the past three weeks to see Buster, the star of the two organizations’ joint Hand-to-Paw Buddy Program. H a n d - t o - P aw i s an educational and enrichment program which begins with a meet-and-greet for client and Buster. This leads to other sessions which include petting and brushing the dog, teaching basic commands, and dog walking. Some of the association’s clients have even drawn portraits of Buster. “Each client has about four sessions with the dog, so it is also relationshipbuilding, and we have seen much evidence of positive interaction and bonding between the client and the shelter dog,” says Sheila Keats, an SPCAs vol-

unteer dog walker who is also the Hand-to-Paw program facilitator. For Haight, the sessions have been about easing her fears and for ming a relationship. “I really love Buster,” Haight says during her last session with Buster. “I was a little bit scared and apprehensive about him, but from the first day he calmed me down. I just love him. I would love to take him home.” Buster, the mildmannered eight-yearold pit bull, is lovingly referred to by Keats, Haight and her support worker Alexandra Bentley as “the myth buster” of his breed which carries a fighting reputation. Bentley says Buster has been so calm with all four women who have attended sessions. “They become so emotionally attached,” she says. “Each one of the ladies that’s come, all have different personalities, and everyone has responded well to Buster. The women get together and they all talk about Buster. “One individual is quite apprehensive about dogs and now they want to come and give this a try because of all the Buster talk.” And Buster has taken to his visitors. He matches the strides of Haight and her wheelchair, as she holds his leash during a morning walk. When Haight stops suddenly, Buster puts his front paws on Haight’s lap and stands on his hind legs, checking to make sure everything is okay. Haight joyfully gives Buster a pat on

Haight has come a long way since the beginning, when she was afraid and not too sure of Buster. “I was very uptight the first time but Buster was very submissive,” she says. “He was so sweet and he’s just adorable. I’ve learned a lot.” Keats says the program, since it began in April, has been a positive experience for everyone involved. “It’s been a growing experience for the SPCA, for the dog, for Laura,” she says. “It’s emotionally really touched these ladies that have been coming.” The program, which runs for 45 minutes every Friday, continues until mid-October. The program will be evaluated over the winter to see if changes can be made in preparation for the 2013 season. Bentley says she would love to see the popular program return, “Everybody’s asking ‘can we do this again next year?’ ”

Drive Smart BC “One Eyed” Vehicles 2X14
If you have normal vision, would you consider driving with one eye closed at night? To most people that would seem to be a very foolish question. Why would anyone want to diminish their capability to see while driving! Take a look at other vehicles on TYEE the highway right now. How CHEV many of them have only one headlight working? Isn’t that the same as driving with one eye closed? True, headlights are on a lot more at this time of year and are more apt to burn out. There is also gravel on the road from winter maintenance that contributes to broken headlights. On the other hand, it is a simple matter to purchase and replace these yourself at minimum expense. Consider what good head lighting can mean to you. Night driving is essentially moving down a tunnel of light created by your headlights. That tunnel has to be wide enough and long enough to allow you to detect and react to any driving situation. Your lights also give other drivers information about where you are on the highway. The loss of one headlight is the loss of at least half that information and could be the major contribution in an accident. If one headlight is out and you lose the other, what then? Do you drive with no headlights? Oh, you say, the police will only give me a warning. You may be ticketed for driving with only one headlight and you can expect to be ticketed and parked on the spot for driving with none! The author is a retired constable with many years of traffic enforcement experience. To comment or learn more, please visit www. drivesmartbc.ca.
Collaboration paying off for pinks I
t’s common this time of year to see anglers lined along the banks of the Campbell River fishing for pink salmon. And with the Pinks for the Pier partnership between the City of Campbell River, First Nations, and Quinsam River Hatchery, there is also abundant pink salmon fishing right off the Discovery Pier. But it wasn’t long ago that pink salmon were seriously depleted. “By the 1970s, a combination of habitat changes and commercial fishing had significantly reduced the abundance of pink salmon throughout the Strait of Georgia,” said Dr. Brian Riddell, president and CEO of the Pacific Salmon

Foundation. “The federal government’s major investment in hatcheries starting in the 1970s and Quinsam River Hatchery’s local work over the years made it possible to regenerate this important local run of pink salmon.” Riddell’s Vancouver-
based foundation has been spearheading an effort to raise the public’s appreciation of pink salmon since he joined the non-profit in 2009. Riddell said the often overlooked pink salmon is the most abundant of the seven species of Pacific salmon, and
is second only to coho salmon in geographic distribution throughout British Columbia. He added that pink salmon is also considered the healthiest type of salmon to eat because its short twoyear lifespan gives it less time to collect potentially harmful chemicals. This Saturday, Riddell and the Pacific Salmon Foundation team will be on-hand for the inaugural Campbell River Pink Salmon Festival, which will run from Noon to 4 p.m. at Robert Ostler Park. Organized by Campbell River resident Larry E. Stefanyk. But getting to a moment of celebration has taken more than 30 years of concerted effort by

the Quinsam River Hatchery staff working hand in glove with “streamkeeping” volunteers, businesses, First Nations, and the local and provincial governments to bring the pinks back. The success has had far-reaching positive ramifications beyond Campbell River. Anglers fishing for pink salmon all along the east coast of Vancouver Island are likely reeling in fish from the Quinsam River Hatchery. That’s because the natural pink run has improved so dramatically here that the Quinsam River Hatchery can now distribute extra pink salmon eggs to other watersheds. The local effort to restore pinks took a major step forward in 2005 with excavation work that created fish passage channels in the upper reaches of the Quinsam River, a tributary of the Campbell River. Creating the channels was particularly important because pink salmon are the first salmon to return to their native rivers to spawn, typically in August and early September. Water flows are often lower at that time of year due to limited summer rainfall, resulting in more barriers that keep salmon from returning to upper-river spawning grounds. Now, pink salmon can migrate an additional 14 kilometres up the Quinsam River where they spawn and die. Their carcasses then become an allyou-can-eat buffet for more than 130 other species of animals and plants, as well as nutrients for next year’s growth. The effort, which has worked exactly as planners hoped, involved the Quinsam River Hatchery, Pacific Salmon Foundation, Haig-Brown Kingfisher Creek Society, BC Hydro and the provincial government. Following the creation of the fish passage channels, upwards of 12 million non-hatchery pink salmon fry migrate out of the Quinsam River compared to one million prior to the work.

and other indications that show us where and how they live their lives. Identifying animals by their markers begins

Musician, adventurer, and playwright Two more Ian Tamblyn will be playing on Fri., Aug. 3 and Sat., Aug. 4 at the 30th annual Filberg Festival. Often described as a folk music icon and a national treasure, Juno Award winner Tamblyn began writing songs, short stories and plays at the age of 17. A composer, songwriter, singer, instrumentalist, playwright, environmentalist, explorer and producer, Tamblyn has captured the spirit of many remote and beautiful parts of the world, from the Arctic to the Antarctic. He has recorded over thirty independent releases, written almost 2,000 songs and over a dozen plays. Tamblyn has also conducted numerous songwriting work-
shops and he appeared frequently as a topical songwriter on the CBC radio program Sunday Morning. Other artists such as Colleen Peterson, Brent Titcomb, Sylvia Tyson, Sneezy Waters, James Keelaghan, Tamarack and Georgette Fry have recorded many of Tamblyn’s songs. As a folk singer he has toured Canada with Joan Armatrading, as well as appearing frequently on the Canadian festival circuit. He is also a composer of instrumental and incidental music for film, television and theatre. Quiet, with a purity of voice and purpose that challenges even as it enchants, Tamblyn has become the wit-

ness for a disappearing landscape, its myths and its people. Much of his music speaks of life away, of distant places in remote corners of the world. Through his many albums of original music, Tamblyn’s work has become known and respected around the world, and he has played a significant role in the folk music scene. Tamblyn is the founder of the Acoustic Waves concert series, co-founder of the Writer’s Bloc, and co-founder of North Track Records, a label that supports recordings by independent artists. Through his musical excellence, his constant willingness to expand his artistic horizons, his strong work
ethic and his sense of humour, Tamblyn has inspired musicians and audiences across Canada and around the world. Re c e n t p ro j e c t s include an installation for the Tom Thomson Exhibit at the National Gallery in Ottawa, sound design for the award-winning play, Shape of a Girl, the release of three CDs in Japan as well as Like the Way You’re Tinkin, a CD of instrumental work featuring the hammered dulcimer. Tamblyn has been recognized with the Jackie Washington Award, an Honorary Doctorate from Lakehead University, the Helen Verger Award, and the Estelle Klein Award for life-

Jean was a veteran of the Canadian Air Force. She cherished time with family, especially her granddaughters. Her quick wit and gentle nature will remain forever in our hearts.

We would also like to thank Dr. Nelson and the nurses on the 3rd Floor North; Shauna, Evangeline, Joemelin, Richanne, Katy, Gill and Deb. Your care, compassion and professionalism were evident.

Rave reviews for museum’s Sonora boat tour CATHERINE GILBERT SPECIAL TO THE MIRROR
There is so much to see and do in our wonderful area, but there is one thing you don’t want to miss out on – an opportunity to get out and explore the magical Discovery Islands this summer. Two weeks ago, I took a boat cruise to the Sonora Island area, put on by the Museum at Campbell River and Discovery Marine Safaris. I went along as an historic interpreter on behalf of the Museum at Campbell River, and Joel from Discovery Marine was our skipper. We had lovely warm weather, and although it was a little windy as we started up Johnstone Strait, we felt secure in Discovery Marine Safaris’ heavy aluminum boat, that handled the waves extremely well. We
Forestry Station at Thurston Bay is just one of the sites to take on the museum’s boat tour up to Sonora Island with a stop at Dent Island for lunch or appies.
discussed some of the history of Campbell River and Vancouver Island’s east coast as we headed north, and I pointed out some spots of interest on the Quadra Island side as well.
We we n t u p t o Chatham Point, well indicated by its lightstation, and turned east into Nodales Channel. Joel took us into Thurston Bay on Sonora Island, that once had a significant
settlement and operated as a BC Forestry Service station. Today it is a protected marine park. Further into the bay is Cameleon Harbour, where evidence has been found of the First Nations groups

we reached Cordero Channel, Joel headed south and east, and we went over to the mainland side where ancient red petroglyphs are painted into the rock, still visible after all these years.

City asks regional district for joint review of rec services The City of Campbell River has sent a letter to the Strathcona Regional District board requesting the district to participate in a joint review of community recreation services.
The letter will be discussed by the board in August at the earliest and outlines city council’s interest in identifying potential oppor tunities for efficiencies and cost savings related
to community recreation facilities and programs. “Campbell River tax dollars are at a premium, and with the city providing 85 per cent of the funding for the Strathcona
Gardens budget, council has determined it is in the best interest of taxpayers to review the operation of recreation facilities and services provided to the community to look for improvements,”
7x11.78
BC FORD
says Coun. Andy Adams, liaison to the Strathcona Gardens Commission. “There is excellent cooperation between the two recreation functions, and council believes we should look at
every possibility to streamline service delivery to reduce costs.” Council adopted a motion that the regional district and the city issue a joint proposal to review
options for governance and operation of recreational services. “We hope the board and particularly our partner in Area D will support this review,” Adams says.

Bike Park set to open The final remnants of the winter white stuff were shovelled out of the way last week by Mount Washington’s trail crew and the snow is now gone. Dirt has reclaimed the mountain and, as a result, the Bike Park opens up this Saturday. “Due to the deep snow last winter we waited a bit longer to open our Park and we’re proud to be opening it in amazing shape,” says Bike Park Manager Mike Manara. “It was well worth the wait.” Mount Washington’s Bike Park is open seven days a week. The Hawk Chair operates daily from 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. and offers access to nine trails and over 14 kilometres of mountain biking bliss! “Our park offers a little bit of everything. We have steep and technical single track for old schoolers, freeride trails with wooden
stunts, jumps for the rippers, and wide and easy trails for beginners,” says Manara. The park will have the following trails ready to ride on opening day: Green Line, Magical Mystery Tour, Hustler, Big Brother, Wizard, 4 Cross and Quickn’Dirty. Mount Washington is cranking out Bike Park events right out of the start gate with Rocky Learn to Ride Week from July 30 to August 3. During Lear n to Ride Week, riders get a two hour lesson, Bike Park ticket and Rocky Mountain bike rental for $49. After determining comfort-level, guides take riders up to Green Line, the perfect learning trail, to perfect the art of rolling two wheels downhill. “In addition to our Learn to Ride Week, we will be offering daily deals on programs

No coffee, thanks, as Tyees order up double-double Entering the final weekend of the exhibition season, the Marine Harvest Mosquito AAA Tyees gave the hometown baseball fans a lot to cheer about. Highlighted by two come-from-behind wins in the final innings of two games, the Tyees won four games on the weekend and ended up 6-0 at home this year. With two wins over Victoria on Saturday and another pair over Duncan on Sunday, the Tyees recorded an 11-1 record against their AAA Tier 1 rivals: Victoria, Duncan and Nanaimo. In game one Saturday versus the Victoria Eagles, the Tyeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; scored four runs in the opening inning, taking advantage of several Victoria errors and walks. Cole Devlin, Connor Hall, Derek McPhee and Nathan Lagos all came in to score for Campbell River. In the second inning, the Tyees picked up one more run and then added three more in the four, and four in the fifth. The offensive was led by Hall and Jamie Ingersoll who both hit doubles to the centre field fence. Brayden McClary also knocked in several runs and his bat was hot all weekend. Pitchers McPhee, Nico Matheson, Dayton Ring, Ingersoll and McClary, combined the with stingy defense h e l d t h e Vi c t o r i a offence in check, with

Brodie Commerford coming into to close out the 12-2 win. In game two it was the Eagles getting off to a fast start. After the Tyees grabbed two in the second, keyed by a Nathan Lagos single, Victoria went ahead 4-2. As the next innings rolled by it was the Tyee defense holding the line waiting for the offense to catch up. A McPhee RBI scored Hall in the fourth as the Tyeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; inched closer. In the top of the sixth and final inning, the Tyees took advantage of Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; struggles
in the field and on the mound. Ring led off the inning with a walk followed by a perfect bunt by Bryn Girvin With two on, Tyler Downey made it to first on an error and the bases were loaded. Hall then drove in a run, tying the game. McClary added an RBI on a sacrifice to right and with the Tyeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aggressive on the bases paths stealing and advancing on passed balls they were able to keep moving runners into scoring position and to the plate. McPhee singled adding another run. When
the 3rd out was finally made the Tyees had put six runs on the board to take a 9-5 lead. Once again Commerford came in to close out the game getting the first two outs as Nick MacGregor made some outstanding defensive plays at first. Having reached his pitch limit he was removed for Downey who finished the game striking out the final batter. The Tyees started quickly again on Sunday against Duncan. D o w n e y, M c P h e e , Lagos and McClary scored in the first for a
4-0 lead. The team went up 8-0 in the second with Commerford, Ingersoll, Girvin and Devlin scoring, but Duncan ralled in the bottom half of the inning to half the lead 8-4. Despite this, Duncan only managed to score two more through the next four innings as the Tyeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; continued to add runs taking game one 14-6. Three Tyee pitchers combined for this win; Hall, McPhee and Lagos, each pitching two solid innings. McClary was 2-3 at the plate with Downey and Devlin also provided
timely hits. With the sun shining for game two both teams came out hitting aggressively and each collected four runs in the opening frame. The Tyees added four more in the second inning taking an 8-4 lead, once again walks, a nice hit by Ring and aggressive base running kept the Tyee offense going. However, Duncan found their swing over the next three innings and the Tyees once again found themselves down as the Red Sox bats exploded in the third and fourth
innings for seven unanswered runs, to take a 13-8 lead. The Tyees responded with three in the fifth on a two-out rally led by a Devlin single followed by a Hall drive off the fence. Lagos followed with a walk, stole second and scored on a McClary single to right. Duncan came back to score one and led 14-11 after five innings. With the last at-bats, MacGregor bunted to get aboard, Commerford singled and then Ring singled to score McGregor. Downey and Devlin added key hits, and the Tyees put four on the board to take a one-run lead. In the bottom half Duncan came to the plate and it would have to be the defense again to hold the lead. Once again it was Commerford on the hill. After issuing a leadoff walk, he fanned the next batter. Facing the top of the order, Commerford made an out to second on a broken play on a deflected ground ball. With the tying run on third, two out and the number three hitter at the plate, a hard grounder to shortstop McPhee was scooped and tossed to Ingersoll at second for the final out and another exciting Tyee comeback was in the books. This weekend the Tyees travel to Victoria to determine seeding for the B.C. finals in Cloverdale, Aug 2-5.
