Stranded swimmer hoisted off log A child trapped on a log in the Quinsam River Thursday afternoon was rescued by 442 Search and Rescue Squadron. “The river current was very strong preventing anyone from reaching the girl,” said Const. Peter Wise of the Campbell River RCMP. RCMP called in 442 Search and Rescue Squadron who were on scene within minutes, plucking the girl from a log in the middle of the river channel. The girl is a tourist from Germany and was tubing with her family. Witnesses reported the group struck the tree and were dumped into the water. The other children reached shore while the child remained trapped on the log. Luckily, the 442 Squadron Cormorant crew at CFB Comox was nearby doing readiness training. “We were on scene in 20 minutes,” said Capt. Luc Coates, aircraft commander. “We flew up the river and spotted her very easily. She was wearing a red life-jacket and there were many anglers in the area alerting us.” Once overhead, Search and Rescue Technician (SAR Tech) MCpl. Alexandre Demers was hoisted down from a height of 200 feet. “She was very calm, despite speaking only German,” said MCpl. Demers. “The Flight Engineer [Warrant Officer Phillipe Robin] did a great job of hoisting me down right next to the log. I did my best to explain what was going to happen, put the rescue collar on her and we were hoisted up quickly.” Once on board, the helicopter flew to the Campbell River Air-

During the summer months most pets would prefer to stay home in a cool place rather than walk on hot city ROYAL LEPAGE pavement or sit in PROCESS a parked car.

The temperature in a parked car, even in the shade with the windows partly open, can rapidly reach a level that will seriously harm or even kill your pet. Dogs cool themselves by panting and by releasing heat through their paws. On summer days the air and upholstery in your vehicle can heat up to high temperatures that make it impossible for pets to cool themselves. Your dog will be more comfortable if left at home. If you see a dog languishing in a hot car, call the BC SPCA in your area or local police.

Valley RCMP track down and arrest River resident The Comox Valley RCMP took a 36-year old Campbell River man into custody using a true team approach, they said. Just before 10 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 2, the Comox Valley’s RCMP traffic section was working in the Black Creek area when they attempted to pull over a green Ford Explorer. The driver of the

vehicle refused to pull over and continued traveling northbound on the Island Highway before turning down Lalum Road. The driver fled the vehicle on foot when he reached a gate partway down this gravel road. The RCMP had now confir med that the vehicle had been stolen out of Courtenay a couple of days prior.

With the assistance of the RCMP helicopter, the police dog section, general duty members, plain clothed members, and the forensic section, the RCMP successfully took the man into custody. The man remains in custody at this time and is facing numerous charges of possession of stolen property, flight from police and

drive while disqualified. “The RCMP would like to thank the public for their patience and understanding as we worked to capture the suspect while ensuring the safety of local residents and families camping in a nearby campground,” said Const. Nicole Hall of the Comox Valley RCMP.

442 Squadron kept busy Continued from A1

eling in Campbell River, JRCC Victoria received a distress call from a group of hikers on Golden Hinde, in Strathcona Provincial Park. The hikers had activated their emergency beacon on Vancouver Island’s highest mountain, indicating that one of them had fallen

and required evacuation from a cliff face at an altitude of 5,000 feet. The helicopter arrived in the area at approximately 4:30 p.m. “An RCMP helicopter was already in the area and they were able to tell us where the hikers were,” said Capt. Coates. “It saved us a lot of time and

made things really efficient.” Despite the spray from a nearby waterfall obscuring the crew’s view, the two SAR Techs and a rescue litter were hoisted onto the mountainside. “The hiker had fallen about 45 feet down a steep snow slope. The hiker’s friends had done a good job of treating the injuries

and it really helped us out,” said Sgt. Robin Richardson, SAR Tech. “We put the patient in the litter and hoisted him out.” The two other hikers were also hoisted off the mountain. The injured hiker was brought to 19 Wing, CFB Comox and transferred into the care of BC Ambulance in stable condition.

Gutting habitat protection may cost Campbell River KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Campbell River’s habitat protection office may be on the chopping block as the federal gover nment redesigns the program protecting Canada’s fisheries. The warning comes after Stephen Harper’s Conservative government announced in April it was making changes to the Fisheries Act and altering its approach to fishery laws, giving priority to vital waterways that are home to important species. Otto Langer, a retired senior Fisheries and Oceans Canada scientist and manager who blew the whistle on changes to the act, said he has learned

several habitat protection offices across the country will be shut down to accommodate what he said is the gutting of the Fisheries Act. “All habitat office locations in the Pacific region are to be closed down with the exception of Whitehorse, Prince Rupert, Kamloops, Vancouver and Nanaimo,� Lang er wrote in a news release. “That means offices such as those in Mission, Campbell River, Prince George, Nelson, Williams Lake, Smithers, Port Hardy, etc. are to be shut down.� Peter Woods, a director with local conservation organization Greenways Land Trust, said Campbell River’s only Fisheries and Oceans habitat

biologist had his last day last week. “The public has lost l o c a l p ro f e s s i o n a l knowledg e of our rivers and streams,� Woods said. “Invaluable knowledge that takes years to acquire. The closure of habitat offices and the loss of habitat biologists throughout the province...will occur all at once. It’s a concern to all of us who care about our aquatic ecosystems.� But the federal government said it hasn’t yet confirmed which habitat protection offices will be shut down. “As departmental planning to redesign the habitat program is ongoing, no final decisions about office closures have been made

at this time,� said Tom Robbins, senior communications officer for Fisheries and Oceans. “We will ensure that we have the resources and capacity needed under the new, re-designed program.� Robbins confirmed the government will reduce its offices from 63 nation-wide to just 15 and will cut 130 positions across the country, maintaining 75 per cent of the current habitat management staff across Canada. However, Robbins said he could not provide a regional breakdown as the program is still being developed. Langer said that is a major step backwards for Canada. “This puts DFO (Department of Fisheries and Oceans)

4x8.64

back where it was in the early 1980s – five offices in B.C. and the same number of staff they had in about 1978,� he said. “They now have the staff they had in 1978 to deal with many giant projects such as Enbridge, gas lines, gas liquification plants, New Prosperity Gold Mine, Site C Dam on the Peace River...all projects that will now be quickly reviewed and approved by the feds.� Jim Van Tine, chair of the Haig Brown Institute in Campbell River, said the local habitat protection officer left on his own free will, and took another job with the province. Still, he said habitat staffing cuts are a concern. “I don’t see how you can download the whole habitat protection portfolio onto others in the fisheries department who already have their

own workload,� Van Tine said. “The alarming thing is about 10-15 years ago there were about 30 people on Vancouver Island looking at habitat issues. I don’t know what exactly the number is now, but it’s way down.� Van Tine also said government’s changes to the Fisheries Act are confusing. “It’s very messy, very complicated,� he said. “It’s hard to understand where they (government) want to go. It leaves you kind of baffled or bewildered.� Fisheries and Oceans Minister Keith Ashfield said in April the changes are meant to manage real threats to fisheries and minimize the restrictions on routine, everyday activities that have little to no impact on Canada’s fisheries. Ashfield pointed to cases where the rules prohibited far mers

from cleaning out their irrigation channels, municipalities from repairing bridge supports, businesses from clearing flooded fields and campsites, and cottage owners from keeping their properties. “Under the new system, we will have the tools to identify ecologically sensitive areas that require enhanced protection,� Ashfield said after changes to the Fisheries Act were announced. But Langer doesn’t buy it. “They will protect less habitat despite the incredulous claims of DFO Minister Ashfield and many Conservative MPs that DFO will provide the fishery with better-focused protection,� he said while noting the future looks bleak for the fisheries department. “More staff (and) budget cuts have been outlined for 2013 and 2014.�

Mayor wants to reopen official community plan KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The mayor wants to take another look at the city’s community plan despite the fact it was approved by city council nearly six months ago. The Sustainable Official Community Plan was passed and adopted by council in February in spite of several objections from outside organizations and the community. Now Mayor Walter Jakeway said he wants to review the document, which is supposed to set the community vision for the next 50 years and guide decisions surround-

ing new buildings and projects. “I want to re-open the SOCP (Sustainable Official Community Plan) up this fall,” Jakeway said after council approved a development permit two weeks ago for Seymour Pacific that contained a clause that could be traced back to the plan. Jakeway was unimpressed with a paragraph that gave the city’s general manger of operations the authority to approve the use of certain colours and materials. Under the city’s development permit guidelines in the community plan, it states

THEY SAID IT: “I have 19 things written down that are wrong with the SOCP.”

– Mayor Walter Jakeway

that because of the city’s dark and cloudy West Coast climate, a warm colour palette is encouraged over the use of cool colours. Jakeway said that’s dictating too much and there’s several things in the community plan he disagrees with. “I have 19 things written down that are wrong with the SOCP

but I approved it to get our money back, on the condition we re-look at it at a later date,” Jakeway said. “We need to go through it with a fine-toothed comb and throw some things out.” Council approved the plan at a council meeting Feb. 21. The plan had to be adopted by Feb. 28 if the city

wanted to recover $160,000 the city spent on the document, as part of a rebate program. Jakeway said at the time he had heard from people concerned about the plan but held back because of the time crunch. Council first received a draft of the 384-page plan on Jan. 10, then had to push the plan through first and second reading and then a public hearing on Feb. 8. “I’ve had complaints but I’ve held back because of time constraints and I know it’s a living document so we can always go back and change it,” Jakeway said Feb. 21. The mayor wasn’t the

only one to have reservations about the plan. The provincial Agricultural Land Commission was concerned the plan was inconsistent with the Agricultural Land Commission Act and residents, particularly in the Quinsam Heights area, were displeased with property use and land zonings in the plan. The We Wai Kai/Cape Mudge Band also took exception to the city’s SOCP. “The document seems to provide a great deal of protectionism for the downtown core of the city to the detriment of other areas, including First Nations lands,” said Brian Kelly, administrator of

the Cape Mudge Band council, before council approved the plan. Jim Abram, director for the Strathcona Re g i o n a l D i s t r i c t representing Area C (Quadra Island), said calling the city’s plan ‘sustainable’ is deceiving. “In its current form the plan is unacceptable,” he said. “The plan proposes to locate high-density sub divisions in Menzies Bay and in Jubilee Heights. These are unsustainable because of the extensive distances from Campbell River’s centre...this plan would actually increase greenhouse gas emissions.”

BCGEU picket line set for Campbell River office Provincial government employees staged a one-day strike at ministry offices in Surrey, Kelowna, Campbell River and 100 Mile House on Tuesday, the second such action since rejecting the government’s wage offer. The B.C. Government and Service Employees Union served strike

notice with the Labour Relations Board Thursday. Three forests ministry offices are targeted, with 40 staff in Surrey, 50 in Campbell River and 60 combined at transportation and forest ministry offices in 100 Mile House. Another 30 union members in agriculture, health, environ-

ment and labour ministry jobs in Kelowna are to refuse a day’s work. The BCGEU repeated its promise that forest firefighting, courts, corrections and other essential services won’t be affected by rotating strike action. The first strike was at liquor distribution warehouses on July 3,

after the union rejected an offer of a two per cent wage increase this year and another 1.5 per cent next year. The BCGEU is seeking about six per cent over two years after three years without a raise. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon has warned that with the province in deficit, the

City wants to improve well-used park KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Council will prepare an application for grant funding to improve Centennial Park, much to the mayor’s dismay. City staff recommended council take advantage of the federal government’s recent Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund aimed at improving existing community i n f r a s t r u c t u re. I f successful, the grant would cover 50 per cent of the project’s costs, with the city matching the funding. At the Jan. 24 council meeting, Lynn Wark, the city’s parks proj-

ect supervisor, recommended council apply for grant funding to enhance Centennial Park and Frank James Park, which hosts the annual carving competition. But Mayor Walter Jakeway did not want the city to undertake two projects now that are not scheduled until years down the road. “I wonder why we do a financial plan in the springtime when we don’t follow it,” Jakeway said. “Why bother doing a financial plan and putting in all of that effort? Why let the federal government grant throw us off our plan. What’s the point in doing a financial plan if we’re not going

to follow it.” C o u n . Ro n Ke r r agreed with Jakeway. “I don’t believe in just supporting a project because the federal gover nment comes along with a grant,” Kerr said. “I don’t think these were on our list of projects for the year. I think there are projects with way higher priority in our city, particularly in the northern end.” However, the majority of council chose to proceed with the grant application, but switched out Frank James Park with the Big Rock Boat Ramp. Coun. Larry Samson said he felt Centennial Park was a priority over Frank James,

which would be a more costly project for the city if it were to be approved. The Frank James p r o j e c t i nvo l ve s expanding parking, extension of the seawalk, an event staging area, and landscaping improvements and would cost the city $325,0000 for its share. Centennial Park, on the other hand involves upgrading the practice tennis court into a multi-sport court and replacing the playground with a natural playscape with encourages free play, sensory discovery and a connection to nature. It comes with a $225,000 price tag to cover the city’s 50 per

cent share. Coun. Andy Adams said Centennial Park is important to the community and it doesn’t take the city off track. “The park is in a low income area and is well-used by youth,” he said. “With this one, Centennial Park was in the five-year plan.” Adams also made a motion to apply for grant funding for the Big Rock Boat Ramp upgrades, for a second intake of grant applications. The city is currently in the process of revising the scope of work for the Big Rock project and putting a Request for Proposals back out.

Community spending $100 million on heat KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The city is encouraging Campbell Riverites to invest in energy efficiency upgrades for their homes so the city can reach its energy and emission targets. Using 2007 as the base year, the city is targeting a 25 per cent reduction of total community greenhouse gas emissions by 2020, a 35 per cent decrease by 2040 and by 40 per cent in 2060. The city targets a 20 per cent reduction in total community

energy use by the year 2020, a further 25 per cent by 2040 and by 30 per cent in 2060. Amber Zirnhelt, the city’s sustainability manager, said the key to reaching those targets is in promoting “energy retrofits for existing homes and buildings and encouraging the development of new energy efficient buildings.” Just 3.4 per cent of local homes had undergone energy efficiency retrofits between April 2008 and June 2011. Residents and businesses (excluding large

industry), currently spend more than $100 million on heating and powering homes, offices, and schools and on fuel for transportation, according to Zirnhelt. Buildings are responsible for 24 per cent of the city’s greenhouse gas emissions and 51 per cent of the community’s energy use. “With energy costs increasing, promoting energy efficiency upgrades in homes and businesses will help the community to reduce energy related spending and GHG (green-

house gas) emissions,” Zirnhelt said. The city encourages homeowners to take advantage of the province’s LiveSmart BC program, which offers incentives on a range of efficiency upgrades such as insulation, windows, hot water tanks, solar hot water, air source and ground source heat pumps and other measures. The program, which r u n s u n t i l M a rch 31, 2013, includes an energy audit by a Certified Energy Advisor before and after the energy retrofit, to

show homeowners the change in energy consumption. LiveSmart BC is also available for businesses and offers companies free energy audits, with recommended steps to decrease energy consumption. Zir nhelt said city staff will continue to work with BC Hydro and Fortis BC to promote energy efficiency incentive programs. “Encouraging these energ y ef ficiency upgrades will help keep money otherwise spent on energy in the community,” she said.

Our View

Licence probe a positive step Automatic licence plate readers are either another step closer to a Big Brother surveillance society or a needed piece of technology police can use to nab car thieves and bad drivers. Either way, it is a good decision by We say: Fair to B.C. Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham to try to shed light on how ask how much licence plate readers work, what data surveillance we is collected and how it is used. endure Police use a high-tech, high-speed camera which can read thousands of plates per hour and match them against those from stolen and uninsured vehicles, and help identify people without valid licences or those who are prohibited

from driving – collectively known as “hits.” Municipal police insist they don’t amass and store gigabytes of licence plate image data. That much is true – it’s all passed on to the RCMP, which administers and oversees the program. All the data is stored on RCMP servers, hits and non-hits alike. RCMP bosses indicate the program could be expanded to help police conducting serious crimes investigations. Critics say the program has veered far outside its original mandate to efficiently find bad drivers, and is headed into mass population surveillance, or surveilling known activists. This suggestion seems like conspiracy theory, but it is a fair question to ask how much surveillance people

should be subjected to, what data is being collected and kept and how it’s being stored. Hopefully the B.C. privacy commissioner can offer suggestions to balance the tension between privacy rights and law enforcement. But that investigation likely won’t probe the most troubling aspect – the collection and storage by the RCMP of the locations and movements of innocent people going about their daily lives. The federal privacy watchdog needs to investigate what is done with this data. Police should have their tools, but civil rights shouldn’t be thrown under the bus. – Black Press

Letters

Awesome generosity Awestruck. I finally settled on on awestruck as the closest word to describe my feelings surrounding Saturday’s fundraiser for Eli Perry. I have lived in and loved this town for over 13 years, but to be at the centre of such an outpouring of love and kindness as this was truly beyond words. Hundreds and hundreds of people came out to express their love and show their support to our family. Many came in to town on that hot day just to offer a donation. People came from Victoria, Nanaimo, Comox and Courtenay. They shared their triumphs and their tragedies as well. I want to thank every single individual who either spread the word, hit share on Facebook, came out for lunch, took a friend out to lunch, took their entire family out for lunch, or even just if you couldn’t resist the smell of the onions wafting in the breeze, thank-you for coming. So many children came to offer a gift. And we are not unmindful that in these times, many of you face great difficulties of your own. All we can say, is thank-you. The list of those who made this possible is very long, but worthy, I believe, of the space. First to Garry Ogrodnick and Superstore Continued on A9 We welcome your opinions on stories and issues published in our pages as well as issues of broader concern encountered elsewhere.

Community plan not worth paper it’s written on

Alistair Taylor Out On A Limb

So, the mayor wants to re-open the Sustainable Official Community Plan (OCP). This would make this official community plan anything but sustainable. Oh, all you members of the public who made the effort to develop, comment on and contribute to the official community plan, thanks for wasting your time. It would be appropriate at this juncture to point out that we’re not surprised by this because the mayor has shown he’s not shy about challenging anything about the status quo. But the scenario here is that the official community plan has rarely been worth the paper it’s written on. It seemed like past practice has been that in order to get a variance to the

OCP, all you had to do was apply to council for it and you got it. Which contradicts what an OCP is about. It’s supposed to be a document by which development of the city can be conducted according to rules that we could see and follow. But I couldn’t count the number of times it seemed that variances were approved by appealing to council. What’s the point of having it then? I guess it means that it forces every proposal to be evaluated on on its own merits. But the OCP is supposed to dictate where and how things are supposed to be placed within the city. Which is what the mayor has a problem with. He has demonstrated in the past that he thinks developers should be able to put anything they want, any-

where they want and the city should be doing everything it can to allow it. So I’m in a bit of a dilemma here, I have to defend a document that has about as much sustainability as a city councillor’s hand in the air. Because at least we can stand on the moral ground that it’s supposed to dictate orderly development of the community. But this OCP was rushed through to meet a deadline so the city could get a rebate on money put into it. At the time nobody seemed to like it anyway. It’s looking like it’s been kind of a big, fat waste of time. Again. Meanwhile...I’m a huge fan of the Olympics as you may or may not know and I’m sure proud of our

athletes. I watched Black Creek’s Cam Levins matching the world’s best 10,000 metre runners stride for stride and finishing 11th. That’s a great result. There he was staying with the frontrunners who only managed to stretch their lead in the last few hundred metres. All Olympians are from some little town, village or neighbourhood somewhere but it was sure cool to see a fella from little old Black Creek running around Olympic stadium and looking like he belonged there. I also loved the Canadian women’s football team (yes, football) striking fear into the hearts of the muchvaunted U.S. team. What a great game on Monday and what a gutsy effort. Did us proud.

There are negative effects to the forest from mountain biking Please investigate how mountain biking does damage habitat. Illegal and legal trails are created by digging up what they call gold dirt around tree routes, which eventually kills the tree. Important and valuable wetlands are built over, damaging habitat for amphibians.

T he org anic top duff layer of soil is an essential component to a healthy forest. It contains everything from the rooting network of surrounding trees to important fungal networks and hundreds of invertebrates, so important to the food chain of birds and other wildlife.

Once removed, it can be detrimental to the health of the forest. It is being removed in cubic meters. This is where salamanders and reptiles live and lay their eggs. Also, rotting nurse logs contain thousands of micro-organisms that we don;t see that are essential to a

You obviously want a fan that is quiet and doesn’t wobble. Most fans don’t wobble anymore but quality fans, aside from using a superior motor, are silenced by putting insulators between every metal-to-metal joint. Most companies don’t do this. Randy Beaulieu, But the main reason for a fan is Owner to move air. Many manufacturers will use a small motor to cut costs. Then they have to use flatter blades which won’t move much air. You want a steep blade pitch. Size matters. You usually want a 52” fan. Smaller fans don’t move as much air, so you have to use a high speed. That’s fine when it’s hot and you want to feel a breeze. But people tend to forget the other function of fans is to circulate air in the winter, mixing the warm air on the ceiling into the room. A larger fan will do this at low speed, actually saving you more money on heat than it costs to run the fan. Fans are for comfort in summer and to save money in the winter. Quality fans are sold at lighting stores.

I have a medical condition. Can I still get insurance when medical testing is required?

How do you know if someone has an insect bite or sting?

Most medical conditions, even those controlled by medication, are not going to get you declined for insurance. If you have recently had a stroke or cancer, for Darlene Garat example, you will be declined – Financial Advisor but even conditions such as these will often be insurable after 5 years with no recurrence. If you have a condition that has been well under control, it is better to get a fully underwritten insurance policy (fully disclosed and medicals required). It is generally less expensive, and if a reputable company is used, you don’t have to worry about it not paying out. TV insurance may guarantee to never go up in price, but it does not say it won’t underwrite at time of claim – which means it does not guarantee it will payout should you die.

In most individuals, an insect bite or sting causes only painful swelling with redness and itching at the site of the sting. The signs and symptoms at the site of a bite or sting include: • Sudden pain • Swelling • Heat • Redness • Itching Jennifer Comeau However, some people are severely allergic Branch Manager to these bites and stings and may develop a life-threatening allergic reaction. The signs and symptoms of an allergic reaction to a bite or sting include, nut are not limited to: • General itching, rash • A bump on the skin that may be white, pink, reddish or blotchy • Generalized swelling, especially of the airway • Weakness, headache • Fever • Breathing difficulties that may be severe • Anxiety, abdominal cramps, vomiting If someone is experiencing a severe allergic reaction, you can assist the person with taking their own medication and call for medical help immediately as the effects of the reaction outlast the effects of the medication.

Why do you recommend taking cod liver oil by the tablespoon and not the capsules? The dosage of EPA and DHA is best at 3000mg per day. These are the best dosages to prevent heart disease, help with eye and brain health and treat inflammation. Dr. Ingrid Pincott ND What is confusing is that a Naturopathic Physician 1000mg capsule of fish oil does NOT yield this dosage. It usually yields about 500mg or less per capsule and often contains “other oils” which can contribute to health problems.

You are welcome to come by the office any time for a FREE taste of the lemon flavored Carlson’s cod liver oil or our new fish oil Cytomatrix Fish Oil. This fish oil is made of anchovies and sardines for those who don’t like the cod liver oil. This oil is less oily and requires only 1 teaspoon daily dosing.

My dog won’t come when I call her….help!! It’s baffling how many people assume their dog should voluntarily run to them when they’re called – even though they’ve spent zero time actually “teaching” the dog what the command means…..dogs certainly don’t arrive in our lives pre-programmed with various behaviors we want them to do. Start in the house (where your dog is safe and there are fewer distractions), call to her in an upbeat tone, using her name only……most dogs will want to come and see why you’re so happy and calling their name…..reward her with Cathy Merrithew a tasty treat. At the same time, give verbal praise, telling her how wonderful she is. Let her wander away again, then repeat and don’t forget the reward. Keep doing this randomly throughout the day, and when you’re sure your dog will respond, add the command “Here!”, and reward. It’s a good idea to change your command to a different word if you’ve already conditioned your dog that “Come” means nothing. Next move to your backyard, and do the same thing calling her and rewarding upon her arrival. Gradually keep practicing this in different locations, before you actually have to depend on it if your dog is off leash. By practicing this in situations where your dog can’t help but respond, you’re conditioning her that coming to you is the best thing in the world! Always reward with a treat, this way she will never have to think about whether or not it will pay off for her to come running in. Never call her to you and then do something she dislikes – like trimming her nails. Go to her instead and lead her to where you need to do that.

A stock is a singular fund – with a specific company etc. Mutual Funds are a pool of stocks giving you greater diversification in a certain sector, such as Financials, or Resources Peter Garat by investing in multiple Certified Financial Planner companies. A portfolio fund – a version of a mutual fund – is even further diversified. Diversification can lower risk over the long term, plus portfolio funds are often re-balanced internally more often and have wider mandates. This further improves the funds overall performance. Regardless of which you invest in, risk should be based on your own personal comfort. Your Financial Planner should be able to help you determine which type of investment is best suited to your needs and risk level.

Preventing a pond from getting green should always be the first step.... but even with the best prevention plan we can still end up with green ponds. There are products available that will get rid of your “green water” temporarily. Laguna Clear Fast is an excellent liquid product that you Sarah Kirk treat the pond with, it causes the Owner green single cell algae that is causing the problem to “clump” and therefore allow your filter to remove it. You can use this product fairly often as need necessitates. Add a Laguna UV sterilizer....it’s simple and your pond will be crystal clear! Installation is easy...you “interupt” the pond tubing that you already have, and put in a sterilizer...it’s really that simple. A couple things to consider when adding a UV sterilizer is the flow of water you have going through your tubing now. If your flow is too high, it will not work properly nor if it is too low..... there are a few guidelines to flow regarding UV sterilizers.... follow them and enjoy a beautiful crystal clear pond ALWAYS! There are sizes for every pond!

Treating a Green Pond

Yes you can! There are several species of roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms that can transmit from dogs and cats to people. Most of these worms cause very minor or no signs of illness at all in dogs and cats. Sometimes when these worms get into humans they can get confused and migrate into various organs including the eyes and liver, causing serious illness. The worms Dr. Peter Woodward all tend to pass from the pet’s fasces to people. The worm eggs in the faeces are usually very small and can’t be seen without a microscope. There are several things you can do to minimize your risk of getting worms from pets. Always make sure to wash your hands with soap and water after working outdoors, handling your pet or their faeces, and before meals. Try to train your pet to defecate in only one area and promptly remove the faeces. Cover sand-boxes when not in use, and wear gloves while gardening. In addition to these simple precautions you should perform regular fecal tests and deworming on your dogs and cats. Talk to your vet about a parasite control plan for your pet based on their risk.

Getting the most out of your Laptop Battery

What are some of the top reasons to own a Beachcomber Hot Tub?

We often get asked about the care of Laptop batteries. Here are a few hints to maximize your battery life... 1. Let your battery charge up completely when you first install it. 2. Charge your battery often, but Don Andrews & Dave Shook now and then draw it down 90% and then charge it fully. Older Ni-cad batteries should be fully discharged and charged every two weeks. 3. Your battery has a finite number of charge cycles (anywhere from 500 - 1000 for most batteries or 1.5 to 3 years) so do not expose it to high temperatures (i.e. hot car) or freezing temperatures for extended periods. Even a few hours at high temperatures can cause it to loose several charge/discharge cycles and shorten it’s life. 4. Remove the battery from your laptop if storing unused for more than two weeks. Store the battery at about 40% charge in a cool, clean, dry location. 5. Consider removing the battery when running on fixed power. However, remember that when you have removed the battery, the automatic battery charger no longer keeps the battery charged.

5. Review The Day. In this hubbub world, it often becomes hard to find time to share highlights of the day with your partner. A hot tub creates the perfect opportunity to talk. 6. Overall Pleasure. Hot tubs offer an array of benefits: improved health, ample social opportunities and the chance for Terry Collins relationship building. Owner 7. Open Up the Sinuses. When feeling a little congested, the steam rising off the hot water can help to open up nasal passages. Inhaling warm, moist air has long been a home remedy for upper respiratory problems. 8. Acquaint Kids with the Water. Many hot tub owners find it an ideal place to let youngsters become accustomed to the water and to gain an appreciation and respect for it, as long as an adult remains within an arm’s reach. Stay tuned for more reasons in the next Mirror Experts feature on September 12th, 2012.

Who are we and what do we offer?

How do you prevent your car from overheating?

Spinal manipulation has been used throughout history, including the father of modern medicine, Hippocrates (460 BC – 370 BC). A Manipulative Physiotherapist is a highly Jason Kowalchuk, trained professional that uses Physiotherapist his hands to assess, diagnose, and treat restrictions in the spine. These hands on techniques help to restore normal motion, reduce pain and muscle tension, and improve function. Not all spine problems require manipulation, but may respond better to a combination of other physiotherapy techniques such as: joint mobilization, exercise, postural correction, electrical modalities, or acupuncture. If you have neck or back pain, ask a Physiotherapist if manipulation is right for you.

If I have gifted a specific property/specific item in my Will and I become mentally incapable, can my attorney sell it? If you have gifted a specific property in your Will your attorney is required to save that Gurdeep Sidhu, CGA property so that it is given Notary Public to the intended beneficiary. However, if your assets are not sufficient to cover your personal and medical needs, then your attorney can sell that specific asset. The attorney’s actions must be made prudently and in good faith. In other words, your attorney can sell the specifically ‘Willed asset’ if it’s needed but cannot sell it with the intention to deprive a beneficially from the gift.

The costs depend whether you are the Buyer or the Seller and vary from one circumstance to the next. There is however some general costs that you should be prepared for. If you are the buyer you can expect to pay Lawyer or Notary fees and expenses such as searching Jenna Nichol and investigating title and drafting REALTOR® documents. You can also expect Land Title registration fees, Property Transfer Tax, fire insurance premiums and mortgage costs. If a site survey or appraisal is required you could incur those expenses as well and if you buy a new home there is the HST. As the seller you are responsible for the Real Estate Commission + HST. You will also pay Lawyer or Notary fees and expenses and you may incur costs associated with clearing title such as discharge fees and prepayment penalties of financial encumbrances.

RCMP looking for donors for drug abuse resistance program aimed at school kids T h re e C a m p b e l l River service clubs donated a total of $1,000 to help Campbell River RCMP teach the internationally recognized Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) program to 200 local Grade 5 children. The Royal Canadian Legion #137 donated $500; the Fraternal Order of Eagles Aerie

#307, $250 and the Ladies Auxiliary to the Fraternal Order of Eagles #3097 also pitched in $250. Staff Sgt. Anthony Choy, officer in charge of the RCMP Drug and Organized Crime Awareness Service overseeing the Campbell River D.A.R.E. program, said that over 250 police officers teach D.A.R.E. to

thousands of school children in more than 90 communities throughout B.C. “The D.A.R.E. program equips our children with the critical thinking and life skills necessary to choose a drug-free life,” Choy said. “While police officers teach the program, the cost of the student learning

materials is covered by community donations so the program can be offered free to all students. The lear ning materials cost approximately $10 per student.” Choy said D.A.R.E. BC is its main partner in the D.A.R.E. program. D.A.R.E. BC is a registered charitable organization respon-

sible for raising funds from within each community to cover the cost of the student learning materials. “We are very grateful to these local service clubs for their generous donations which covered the cost of learning materials for 100 students who took the program during the 2011-2012 school year,” he said.

T he founder of D.A.R.E. BC, retired RC M P S t a f f S g t . Chuck Doucette said next year’s DARE program starts this September and $2,000 still needs to be raised in Campbell River to cover the cost of learning materials for the 200 students who are expected to take the DARE program in the upcoming school

year. RCMP are appealing to the citizens of Campbell River to help provide the financial support needed to empower Campbell River’s school children in choosing a drug-free healthy lifestyle. Donations can be made on line by visiting the D.A.R.E. BC website, www. darebc.com

Wanted: tough volunteers for tough invasive plant removal G r e e n w ay s L a n d Trust is continuing efforts to rehabilitate the Campbell River Estuary, with two events in August focused on removal of two of the toughest invasive plants: Yellow Flag Iris and Blackberry. Hardy volunteers are welcome for all or part of either evening: Thurs., Aug. 16 and Tues., Aug. 28 from 5-8 p.m. “ We r e c o m m e n d long sleeved shirts and pants to protect from thor ns and residue from the Iris. Shorter, cooler, evening sessions were chosen for this tough work,” says Erin Nowak, Greenways Operation Manager. “$5,000 has been awarded to Greenways from the National Everg reen-Canon

Cheryl Mailman tallies up a list of fundraisers.

Building a bridge all the way to Africa Join Cheryl Mailman at the Gourmet Burger and Beer BBQ in support of Shannon Brown’s Africa projects on Sat., Aug. 25, from 4-9 p.m. Tickets are $20.

There’s a silent auction, door prizes and more. For tickets, call (250) 202-2022, e-mail sb@ coachshannan.com or visit www.coachshannan.com

“Take Root” Program to remove these tough invasives and plant 300 trees to ensure they can’t come back.” Yellow Flag Iris needs some strong digging ar ms notes Greenways Summer Student Megan Vlooswyk who had her first encounter with invasive plants while clearing iris from Baikie Island in June. “It’s hard work, but I met some new people and felt so proud to

see how great the area looked afterwards!” she said. Sandra Milligan, Greenways director says that “nothing matches the satisfaction of clearing blackberries. Currently they grab at people as they walk down the end of Myrt Thompson Trail; it’s rewarding to have the tools to fight back. Estuaries are one of the world’s most productive ecosystems,”

says Milligan, a NIC Biolog y instructor. “The Canon Grant will allow us to replace large areas of monoculture with a much more diverse population of native plants that better supports the birds, the fish and all estuary organisms.” Nowak is “thankful” for the work of volunteers at past Greenways Broom Bashes and for the partnership and support of the City

Parks Department and Campbell River Indian Band. “These were essential components to this successful grant application,” Nowak said. Information will be coming soon on the Myrt Thompson Trail Tree Planting Event Sept. 22. For more information contact Greenways Land Trust (250) 287-3785, or Sandra Milligan (250) 2042040.

It is with heavy hearts that we share this news. His strength, courage and love for his family and friends will forever be remembered. We acknowledge that every person he met was touched and changed in some way for having known him, and therefore a public celebration is to be held at the Campbell River Sportsplex on Wednesday August 8th at 1pm. In lieu of owers, please make donations to the BC Professional Fire Fighters Association Burn Fund (via www.burnfund.org) and/or to the Day Break Rotary Club.

RBC bank gets to the heart of the matter The First Open Heart Society of British Columbia and the RBC Foundation have partnered to purchase an electrocardiography machine (ECG) for the Campbell River Hospital Intensive Care Unit. “Electrocardiography (ECG) is used to measure the rate and regularity of heartbeats, as well as the size and position of the chambers, the presence of any damage to the heart, and the effects of drugs or devices used to regulate the heart,” said Dr. Jennifer Grace. “In the ICU setting, h av i n g i m m e d i at e

Managing Your Money When your future collides with their future – 4x10 the college years retirement years meet There was a time when marrying young and having children right away was the norm. But as North American life became increasingly frantic and expensive, more and more couples chose to delay marriage and children. If you’re among these ‘mature’ parents you could be opening the door to your retirement years while your offspring are still in the nest and aiming at a university or college education. Chances are you’ve already made progress accumulating savings and setting some aside for retirement. But you still need a plan to pay for that increasingly costly postsecondary education – and you should begin right away. Here a few tips to get you started.

Arts & Entertainment Take the Build, Bail and Paddle challenge Send your arts and entertainment submissions to editor@campbellrivermirror.com

T

hink you and a friend can build a boat/ canoe/raft in under four hours from $90 in materials (supplied at no cost)? Then paddle it around a special course, changing positions in the boat with your friend at the half way mark, without sinking into Discovery Passage? Last year, eight teams took up the challenge, and seven of them even made it to the finish line. There was a father and son team, an all female team, a male and female team and several all male teams – with various skills and design abilities. All reported that they had a great time doing it, and the large crowd of spectators certainly had fun too. If you think you are up to the challenge, the folks organizing the 6th Annual Discovery Passage Boat Rodeo want to hear from you. Brenna Platt, this year’s Build, Bail & Paddle chairperson, is hoping for 10-12 teams this year The Build, Bail and Paddle event will take place on Sunday, Aug. 26 as part of the Boat Rodeo. There’s no cost to enter (you’ll have to put up $50 per person as a deposit that you get back when you complete the event). Event sponsor Seymour Pacific Developments Ltd. will cover the cost of the materials at a local building store (your choice of anything they have except for styrofoam or sheet metal), you supply the tools (hand tools only), design and building skills, and the paddling or rowing prowess to win the race. There aren’t many rules, but here are a few of the more pertinent ones: ■Teams will consist of two people; ■Boats must carry both people at the same time; ■Halfway through the race, Team Members must switch positions; ■Both Team Members must supply their own CCG Approved Life Jackets. Entry in the event is on a first come basis - so register soon. Information and Registration Forms can be had by calling Brenna Platt at 250-923-7469, Trish Whiteside at the Maritime Heritage Centre - 250-286-3161, or by visiting the MHC website: www.MaritimeHeritageCentre.ca - then click on “Events�, then on “August�.

Campbell River bucks price dip trend

Heading to Royal Winnipeg Ballet Two local dancers are going to be spending two weeks at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet Summer Intensive this month. Melinda Coetzee and Bea Bellosillo dance on the Performance Team at Urban Dance Connection. They have both been dreaming of dancing in the studios of the Royal Winnipeg for the past few years. This summer their wishes are coming true. The parent committee, directors, dancers and parents put a huge effort into fundraising this season, and their hard work has helped to send these two beautiful dancers on this amazing adventure. The dancers will do an intensive two-week training in many different dance styles and will also have an opportunity to see the sights of Winnipeg.

Multiple Listing Servic (MLS) sales summary data released by the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board (VIREB) shows housing sales activity across Vancouver Island increased a full 14 per cent last month as compared to a year ago, while average sale prices edged downward three per cent. Across VIREB’s coverage area in July average sales prices dipped slightly when compared to July 2011, but the dollar value of home sales rose 11 per cent compared to a year earlier. The average sales price of a single family home sold within the VIREB region in July was $334,530 down minimally from the July 2011 average price of $344,655. The number of unit sales (on a year to year basis) increased 14 per cent. In July 2011 338 single family homes were sold, in comparison 385 unit sales were recorded in July 2012. The number of homes listed last month dipped incrementally by one per cent as compared to June 2011. “This is a much more positive sign, and a strong indicator of increased consumer

confidence,” explained VIREB President Guy Bezeau. “These numbers are part of an overall collaborative effect – terrific interest rates, a phenomenal and varied inventory of homes to choose from and finally good weather last month that encouraged people to get out and see what’s available. I think people had been sitting on the fence for a long time and last month they realized that the time is now.” As of the end of July 2012 there were 3,317 single family homes available on the MLS within VIREB’s coverage area, up approximately three per cent from the 3,236 homes in the system at the end of July 2011. In July there were 777 homes listed on the MLS system, down one per cent from the 781 homes listed during July 2011 “The market has definitely been doing very well,” said VIREB Past President Jim Stewart. “There has been a lot of activity in the marketplace right across the Island. With all of the positive factors that have come into play this is clearly the right time to get

into real estate. The projections from BCREA indicate that mortgage rates will continue at these historically low levels for some time to come. So with the choices out there buyers and sellers are both going to be winners.” Comparing July 2012 to July 2011, the average sale prices across VIREB’s six zones saw: Campbell River edge upward two per cent to $296,231, the Comox Valley dipped two per cent to $345,369, Nanaimo’s average sales price climbed two per cent to $360,007 from the July 2011 price of $354,077, Parksville/Qualicum prices were down four per cent to $375,563, Port Alberni/West Coast increased five per cent to $230,958 and the Cowichan Valley declined five per cent to $334,557. In terms of unit sales year to year there was a wide disparity among the different zones last month. Campbell River unit sales for example were down 18 per cent compared to July 2011, while Port Alberni/West Coast unit sales were up a full 53 per cent compared to a year ago. Nanaimo unit sales increased 36 per

Levins runs with the pack in 10,000 metre final in London Black Creek’s Cam Levins runs with the in-crowd. The in-crowd in this case, of course, is the world’s best 10,000 metre runners who hang out at the Olympics in London. Levins ran a 27:40.68 in the 10,000 metre final on Saturday to finish 11th. Levins stayed with the lead pack throughout the whole race which was won by Great Britain’s Mo Farah in a time of 27:30.42. Silver went to the United States’ Galen Rupp and bronze went to Tariku Bekele of Ethiopia. It was only in the last lap that the eventual winners stretched out the field at all but Levins was in the top group in this large field of racers. Levins said he didn’t have the final kick to take himself up to the front of the pack – this time. Levins is the NCAA champion in the 10,000 metre and runs for Southern Utah University. He received great support from his hometown Black Creek and from his university town, Cedar City. “I want to say thanks for all the support,” Levins told the Salt Lake City Deseret News of his fans in Black Creek and Cedar City. “Thanks for watching back home, and hopefully I can do better for you guys next time.” The next time for Levins will be the 5,000 metre race which will be held Saturday at approximately 11:30 a.m. PST.

Black Creek’s Cam Levins competes in the 10,000 metre race in the London Olympics Saturday.

Hornets, roadrunners and dwarves on the race card The Crash to Pass, Hornets, Roadrunners, Dwarf cars and the Figure 8 cars were all on the racing card for Saturday and Sunday. Saturday night saw season high car counts in the Hornets, Dwarfs and Roadrunner divisions. Twenty-seven Hornet cars took to the track on Saturday. Jeremy Stormo had a great race in the 20-lap B main event, leading all but six6 laps to take his fifth main event win of the year. Daryn Cahill started third in the A main event, giving him an advantage over the field, taking the lead on lap 1 and never looking back from there. Kyle Fallowfield had his best finish of the year, finishing second with third going to Daryl Cahill. A season high 13 Dwarf cars qualified on Saturday. #11 Mike Meeres had his car hooked up on Saturday, setting fast time in qualifying and dominating the 30-lap main event, taking the lead on lap 4 and never looking back from there, extending his points lead over Ike Armitage, who was not racing this weekend. Brian Lee finished second, with third going to Mike Schott.

The Figure 8’s were up to eight cars on Saturday. Andrew Buchanan won both races in the Figure 8 class, dominating the field. Jeff May led every lap on the 20-lap Crash to Pass main event, taking over the points lead. Ted Dimitrov dominated the Roadrunner class, winning the heat and the main event, inching himself closer to the points lead. Sunday night featured one of the best monster truck shows at Saratoga Speedway, and our second roll over of the year. The Hornet cars had an amazing 40 lap feature main event. Daryn Cahill and Daryn Cahill duelled it out for first and second place in the A main. Daryn finished the race in first but was disqualified after the race, due to over aggressive driving, giving the win to Daryl. Skyler Carlson who was racing in only his second race at Saratoga Speedway got into an altercation with Daryn Cahill on the last lap, causing him to hit the Monster truck jump on an awkward angle, rolling himself over. Justin Beaulieu, who was filling in for Nick Leavitt in the Roadrun-

ner division, fought off Ted Dimitrov to win their feature 10 lap main event. Andrew Buchanan won his second Figure 8 main event in as many nights; Buchanan also won the 10 lap heat race. Mike Meeres and Dave Emmerson were battling bumper to bumper in the 30 lap feature race, but Meeres would run into mechanical problems on lap 17, giving the lead and eventual win to Emmerson. Dan Kemp started eight in the 20 lap Crash to Pass main event, but he fought his way to the front on lap 15, taking home his first main event win of the season. Extra laps...Next weekend marks the first appearence of the Old Time Modified Stock cars. The Old Timers were rained out on their first scheduled appearence. There will also be a Bomber car Island Invitational next weekend, inviting cars from all across the island, which should make for the best car count of the year. The I.M.C.A Modifieds and the Motorcycles will also be joining the Old Timers and Bomber cars next weekend.

Welcome to the

45th Annual Salmon Festival and 38 years of presenting

Logging Sports Jim Lilburn Salmon Festival Treasurer

As logging is Campbell River’s heritage and prime industry, in 1975 the Salmon Festival introduced a Loggers Sports demonstration as part of the celebration and in 1984 it became a sanctioned competition of the Canadian Logger Sports Association (CANLOG)! This first formal competition consisted of 1 Canadian Championship, 15

events and $5,000 in prizes. Popularity and support for the event began to grow each year and in 2004, with a prize package of $25,000, the Salmon Festival’s Logging Sports event hosted it’s first World Championship. In 2005, it hosted 2 World and 7 Canadian Championships, 31 other events and over $30,000 in prizes ranking it No. 1 in Canada. Today this competition is still

ranked No. 1 in Canada and is ranked No. 4 in North America and for the 5th time it is being filmed for TSN. Although an impressive record, the World Class Competition would not exist without the support of the city, sponsors and spectators. Thank you for making it possible.

Campbell River Salmon Festival’s

Logging Sports Historically logging has been the prime resource based industry for the coastal areas of British Columbia. From the days of hand logging, bulls, horses and steam machinery to today’s use of grapple yarders, self-loaders, and helicopters the industry has seen many changes. Throughout these changes the one thing that has remained constant has been the loggers getting together to show off their skills in friendly competitions. Today, nearly every major logging community has a form of these competitions, which have become to be known as “Loggers Sports“ and Campbell River is no exception. Since Campbell River is the major center for the logging industry on Northern hern Vancouver Island as well as the many coastal al islands and inlets, it is only natural that Logging ing Sport Competitions became a major event in n the community. Logging Sports are not just competitions amongst ongst the loggers but they also depict the heritage of the North Island by incorporating entertaining events vents that show both past and present logging practices. ctices. Events such as axe throwing, tree climbing, spring board chops, log rolling, hand bucking and high igh speed power saw cutting never cease to amaze aze the crowds at these competitions. Logging Sports has become so popular in Campbell ampbell River that TSN Television network aired our 2000, 2006, 2007 & 2011 Logger Sports as well as s A- Channel, CHCT TV, and Shaw TV routinely ly cover our Logger Sports on their news and sports ports broadcasts.

Proud to support the largest Logging Sports Competition in Canada! 3x3.5 Come on down and see some displays of past CRES and present logging practices.

In 2006 and 2008 we were able to host the most prestigious Logging Sports event in Canada, “the Canadian East-West Logging Sports Challenge”. This competition hosted Ontario, Quebec and Maritime Loggers as they competed against Alberta and British Columbia loggers to determine who are the best, East or West. The West won both events. In 2010 two competitors Mitch Hewitt & Dave MacLeod were chosen at our show to represent Canada at the World Timbersports in Austria. Canada came in 4th out of 17 countries. The 2012 competition will host 2 World

Balsamic Maple Glaze Salmon

From wild Sockeye to farmed Atlantic Salmon, there is no shortage of salmon choices on the west coast. However at this time of the year, I am anxiously awaiting to hear the news about the Sockeye returns. I grew up on the outskirts of Tokyo by the Tama River and although originally it was a salmon habitat it has long since gone and most of the salmon used was salted chum from the north. When I came to Canada, I was introduced to the concept of using salmon as Sashimi (fresh raw meat, most commonly fish) and Sushi (any dish made with vinegared rice where raw fish is a traditional ingredient). This was a new concept to me as the Japanese people do not eat raw Salmon traditionally with the exception of people in the northern parts of Japan who eat a frozen salmon dish called Rui-be. At Wasabiya, we only use Sockeye for all the

Savour the Flavours salmon dishes that we serve. As you may know presentation is a very important part of Japanese Cuisine and given both the appearance and flavor of Sockeye Salmon it makes it Wasabiya’s ultimate choice. When you prepare Sashimi at home, I strongly recommend buying frozen salmon from a reliable store. If you would like to use the salmon you just caught or purchase fresh salmon, be aware that it must be placed in a deep frozen state for a minimum of 5 days in order to destroy any parasites. Further, I recommend using the sharpest knife you have and use it as your ‘extended finger’. As a guideline, slice the salmon fillets on the diagonal into strips about 1/2 inch (1 cm) wide and 1 1/2 inches (3cm) long. Garnish with the daikon , shiso leaves and wasabi paste. However you can slice the pieces into any size you want and use any garnish after all, there are no rules when you are at home! Remember the presentation of Japanese food is an art that encourages the cook’s imagination and creativity.

CAMPBELL RIVER SALMON FESTIVAL 44 YEARS to receive ccertification by CANLOG CANLO (Canadian Logging Sp Sports Association) Associatio and the 1st Annual sanctioned Logging Sp Sports was held at Nu Nunns Creek park. The L Lunch Bunch Boogie Do Down the Campbell R River (the Raft Race) was also moved to this weekend. t Mascot Co Coho the bear was introduced. introd

Somewhere around the late fifties and early sixties, for one reason or another, Campbell River’s major celebrations, May Day, Canada Day and Labour Day, disappeared. Gone were the parades, fireworks, logging sports, ball games, kids sports and a multitude of other events. Over the next few years some smaller events, organized by individual groups, occurred during the spring and summer, but there was still no major celebration. In 1967 the Campbell River Canoe Club, reminiscing about the good old days, decided that Campbell River needed eeded a festival. Being the Canoe Club and that canoeing events would be a major part of the activities, the name Waterr Festival was appropriate. The July 1st date was selected since it was traditionally sunny. 1968 First annual Water Festival held at McIvor lake. 1970 Festival moves to downtown Campbell River and the name Campbell River Salmon Festival was adopted. 1972 The Festival obtained a L.I.P. grant and with community donations and volunteers constructed the Totem Pavilion on the Foreshore Park. 1973 Festival obtains a 2nd L.I.P. grant and commissions local native groups to produce authentic native artifacts which were given to the local museum. The Cod Jiggers Stomp was the first cabaret held in the new Arena and the tickets were $3.00 each. Festival budget topped $22,000.00 Chamber of Commerce introduced the World Champion Oyster Eating Contest. 1974 A major sanctioned bicycle race through downtown was added to the program, but after six years it was discontinued as the smaller communities could not attract professional riders 1975 The Festival considered moving to Nunns Creek Park because of the larger grounds, but strong objections by the Downtown Merchants and public convinced the Festival to remain on the Foreshore Park. Campbell River is the Logging Centre for Northern Vancouver Island and Coastal Inlets and until the late 50’s had an annual Logging Sports event on Labour Day. As logging is the community’s heritage, Salmon Festival introduced a Loggers Sports demonstration as part of the celebration. 1976 Festival constructs 20 foot spring salmon parade float and tours B.C. and Washington State. 1978 Oyster Eating Contest contestants vied for a place in the Guinness Book of Records. 74 year old 115 lb. Hilda Dennis consumed 1724 grams of raw oysters in one hour to win the contest and a place in the Guinness Book of Records. 1979 Hilda Dennis retains her world champion oyster eating title by downing 1798 grams of the slippery morsels. Cod Jiggers Stomp is so popular that tickets are limited to 6 per person to try and stop the severe scalping. Mining Sports demonstration added to Festival’s events. Rainy days start to plague the July 1st weekend, maybe the Water Festival was a more appropriate name. Festival donates to C.R. Figure Skating for sound equipment at Strathcona Gardens Arena. Festival donates to Lions Club to furnish a room at Yucalta Lodge Seniors Complex. Salmon Festival introduces the Miss Salmon Festival Pageant which is won by Yvonne Pellitier. Rotary exchange student off to New Zealand for a year and festival donates several dozen T-Shirts to give to her new friends down under. 1980 Although popular, the Oyster Eating Contest is dropped due to bad press. Rule was, if you upchucked, you were eliminated and that was the fate of many contestants. This was felt to be disgusting to some and the bad publicity prompted the sponsor to drop the event. Vancouver Police Motorcycle Drill Team show their stuff for festival crowd. Festival budget tops $100,000.00 1982 Festival receives sanction by the Miss Canada Pageant for its Miss Campbell River Pageant. Winner Holly Patten goes to Toronto to compete for the 1993 Miss Canada title. Rain continues to plague Festival. 1984 Loggers Sports moves to second weekend in August

1986 The F Festival and Chamber o of Commerce host a Sho Shop to Shore Sailabration Sailabratio as part of “Island Ody Odyssey” (a 52 vessel circumnavigation of Vancouver Island). T The Mining Sports was expanded from 2 to 9 events and be became a competition rather than a demonstration. 1987 Rainy days now outnumber the sunny days day on July 1st and the cost of running the Festival exceeds $300,000.00 Canadian singer K.D. Lang performs at June 12th cabaret at Strathcona Gardens Arena. Festival works with city to provide celebrations for the opening of the new fishing pier on July 4th. 1988 Royal Lipizzan Stallions dazzles the sell out crowd at Strathcona Gardens. Foreshore Park and downtown Campbell River are jammed with people watching the Canadian Snowbirds Air Show. 1989 Another wet July 1st weekend. 66 mm. of rain (15 mm. more than the combined average for June and July) fell during the 4 day celebration. Municipality notifies the Festival that they would not be allowed on the Foreshore Park next year as the rainy weather and large crowds were causing sever damage to the grounds. 1990 Festival begins 3 year plan to revamp celebrations and the July celebration is moved to Elm Park, the Raft Race is moved to late July and the Loggers Sports in August is expanded to 2 days. Festival receives Charity status from the Federal Tax Department allowing tax receipts to be given for donations. Canadian Snowbirds return for second air show marking their 20th anniversary. 1991 Oakridge Boys play for concert in Nunns Creek Park during the Logers Sports event in August. As part of the economic savings for the Municipality in tough financial times, Festival presents a 5 year budget plan to Council, outlining a $15,000 Grant-In-Aid reduction over a three year period. 1992 - 25th ANNIVERSARY Restructuring program is now complete. July 1st is a 1 day celebration. The Raft Race is expanded to accommodate more events and the major jor Celebration “Salmonfest” is the second weekend in August gust at Nunns Creek park. Waylon Jennings headlines the h concertt att Salmonfest. 1993 Festival signs a License of Occupation with the Municipality for Nunns Creek Park and enters into a partnership with C.R. Minor Baseball, C.R. Men’s Baseball, C.R. Dog Fanciers & C.R. Skateboard Society to improve the Park. R.C.M.P., C.R. Trail Riders and Salmon Festival combine efforts to present the R.C.M.P. Musical Rides at the Trail Riders grounds. Event is taped and televised by Much Music. With the reduction of our Grant-In-Aid, Grant-In-Ai Festival introduces a $2.00 adult entry fee for fo the Salmonfest to cover Ch Children’s Events. With the he help of Ironwood Mall, Socia Social Services program wo workers and Festival vo volunteers, a trail, complete w with bridge is opened fro from Ironwood Mall to Nunns Creek Park. C 1994 A Festival office Fes is establish established at Nunns Creek Park to allow onsite administration of festivities administrat and the Pa Park development

Final year for Raft Race as insurance cost for the event were becoming prohibitive.

The winner, Oregon, went on to the Senior Babe Ruth World Series. Parade is held for the first time on a Saturday and was a joint project between the Shrine Club, Rotary Club and Festival. Salmon Festival joins other community groups to put on the 3rd annual Family New Years Eve Celebrations at Strathcona Gardens, TideMark Theater and Community Hall. The Festivals’ portion of the celebration was held in the newly expanded Strathcona Gardens Arena/Pool complex and over 300 people braved the inclement weather conditions to make it a resounding success. Laurie Thaine Headlines the concert at SalmonFest. 1997 - 30th ANNIVERSARY City of Campbell River celebrates 50th Anniversary. The Municipality and many community groups, including Salmon Festival worked together to put on “Jubilee Celebrations” throughout the year. Campbell River Children’s Festival, Municipality and Salmon Festival worked together to provide an exciting July 1st Canada Day which wound up with a spectacular fireworks display. Festival assists the Willow Point Foursquare Church with their first annual Christian Youth Conference in Nunns Creek Park.

Paul Brandt, Canadian Country Artist, headlines the “Stage Of Stars” at Salmonfest in August. Loggers Sports underwent a major expansion by offering 3 Canadian Championship events and $15,000.00 in prize money. Despite the poor economic conditions in Campbell River, the logging community supported the expansion and provided 100% sponsorship of the events prize money. The Logging Sports was also filmed and shown on Outdoor Life Network (OLN), a national cable television network, and was viewed throughout Canada and United States. The Municipality, Wonders Of The Wild and Salmon Festival present a Millennium Event at Salmonfest called “Homecoming 2000 – Return of the Salmon”. In 1896 Sir Richard S. Musgrave, on a vacation from England, embarked on a fishing excursion with a First Nations guide and caught a seventy-pound salmon. His prize salmon, along with many a great tales, was preserved and taken back to his home in England. Although the fish was destroyed in a fire several years later, it’s legacy lives on as the Campbell River Tyee Club was founded as a result of that catch.
