Fifty government employees walked off the job at Campbell River’s forest ministry office Tuesday as the battle between the BC Government and Service Employees Union (BCGEU) and the province heats up. Workers marched along Dogwood Street near Merecroft Road, waving their bright yellow and blue union signs and carrying placards that read ‘On Strike.’ Doug Kinna, union spokesperson, was in Campbell River for the one-day strike to focus the public’s attention on the union’s issues. “We want a fair and reasonable agreement,” Kinna said. “This is our first strike since 1988 – we’re not strike happy. We’ve been able to negotiate fair agreements in the past. “Maybe we should bring (former premier Gordon) Campbell back. At least he knew what he was doing when it came to collective bargaining.” The BCGEU has followed the province’s wage freeze mandate, not having a pay increase since 2009. The union’s contract expired on April 1, 2012 but the union and the province first sat down at the bargaining table in January. The BCGEU is asking for a 3.5 per cent wage increase this year and a raise equivalent to the cost of living increase for 2013. The union has already rejected the province’s offer of a two per cent pay increase for 2012 and another 1.5 per cent next yet. On Wednesday it was announced

that the province had withdrawn that offer, which the BCGEU turned down just prior to its first strike at liquor distribution warehouses in Kamloops, Vancouver and Victoria on July 3. Kinna did not indicate when and if there will be future strikes, but the union did announce weeks ago it intended to stage a series of rotating strikes without hurting the public. “We’re trying to get our government’s attention without negatively affecting British Columbians,” Kinna said. The BCGEU has issued two proposals to the province that Kinna said have the potential to generate close to $300 million per year for the government. “We’ve proposed opening liquor stores on Sundays and putting deputy sheriffs on road patrol,” Kinna said. “That would be a $280 to $300 million increase in revenue without raising taxes.

Hospice raffle could get you to ‘zoom-zoom’ KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The Campbell River Hospice Society helped more than one thousand people cope with death last year and this year the non-profit is appealing to the community for some assistance. In order to continue the many services the society offers, the hospice leans heavily on its three annual fundraisers – Angel Rock, Celebrate A Life, and its annual summer time raffle. This year the hospice is giving away a 2012 Mazda 2, along with free gas for one year, but ticket sales so far have been slow. Iona Wharton, hospice community coordinator, said fundraising is the society’s lifeline. “We get very minimal funding,” she said. “We probably fund about half of our operating budget at our events.” T h e Va n c o u v e r Island Health Authority funds three per cent of the hospice’s annual operating budget. Julie Collins, hospice office administrator, said the society receives $5,700 a year from the health authority which
equates to just $0.12 per person, per capita. “T hat’s why it’s important that people support us and buy a ticket on the car,” she said. The rest of the operating money comes from grants from groups such as the United Way, Direct Access, and the provincial g aming grants. Wharton said the society, which has three paid staff and 65 volunteers, benefits from community support. “Our annual raffle is part of the fundraising we have to do every year to keep our doors open because we don’t charge for our services,” she said. “We do a lot of counselling here, which normally runs from $100-$120 an hour. We do that for free and our clients appreciate it. This is not a wealthy town.” The hospice and its trained volunteers provide several programs and services aimed at helping those facing death and their families and friends by offering them spiritual and emotional support. And the work does not end after a loved one passes away. “We continue with

the family,” Wharton said. “We have two counsellors trained in psychology and social work and they can see those counsellors once a week for as long as they need to work through their grief.” The hospice also helps provides direction to grief-stricken families when they need it most. “Dying can be a very private thing but it’s
also very scary and it puts a lot of stress not only on the person who’s ill but the family,” Wharton said. “Everyone’s life is going to change and (we can help) with getting affairs in order, mending fences and tying up loose ends. It’s also about making sure they (the family) have a connection to all the resources. You know a lot of people don’t
know what the next step is when someone dies.” Volunteers also try to help ease the pain of losing a loved one whether it be by stopping by for tea or a round of bridge. They also provide respite
care to allow care givers time to get out of the house. “Volunteers do so much for people,” Wharton said. “People will pick up groceries for those who can’t get out, as well as provide that emotional sup-
port.” The hospice society also provides a widow and widowers support group; grief loss and counselling; a bereavement program; a lending library full of books, government for ms, estate and funeral home information; as well as the Sally Wellman Memorial Garden, where plaques in memory of loved ones grow. The hospice also runs a weekly walking support group on Mondays at Frank James Park at 10 a.m. where people can connect with others experiencing grief. To help support the hospice society, purchase raffle tickets (three for $20) at the hospice office (301 Dogwood Street); at the Sunday Far mers Market; or at this weekend’s Salmon Festival at Nunns Creek Park. For more ticket information call (250) 286-1121. The winning ticket will be drawn Sept. 2 at the North Island Cruisers Show ‘n’ Shine on Shoppers Row at 2 p.m.

BCGEU: Contract expired in April Continued from A1 and they’ve rejected them.” Finance Minister Kevin Falcon disagrees with the BCGEU’s numbers and said having liquor stores open
on Sundays would maybe save $11 million – not enough to fund the increase the union wants – because employees would have to be paid overtime. Falcon also said it
would take away sales from private liquor
stores that operate on Sundays.

Police investigating multiple vehicle collision with injuries
Councillor: BC Hydro deal will cost us KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Campbell Riverites can likely expect another tax increase because of an agreement the city made with BC Hydro, says one city councillor. Coun. Ron Kerr is disappointed his fellow councillors so readily accepted a deal that will see BC Hydro pay 75 per cent, up to $12.5 million, of the costs to build a new drinking water supply system necessary to accommodate upgrades to the John Hart Dam Generating Station. Hydro plans to replace the three large pipes that transport water from the John Hart Dam to the generating station, and from where the city’s drinking water has been drawn for 65 years. A 2.1 kilometre tunnel will be built in place of the pipes. Kerr said BC Hydro should take responsibility for funding the new water source because it is Hydro’s project. “I believe they should be paying 100 per cent and that’s how you negotiate,” Kerr said. “You stick to it and you don’t say ‘oh that’s your best offer, let’s roll over and accept it.’
There was no reason to accept it yet. It’s too early, it was on their timetable. I think the concern that we’re going to jeopardize our relationship with Hydro is ill-conceived and I don’t think disagreeing with Ron Kerr them is going to affect that relationship.” Council made the decision behind closed doors at an in-camera meeting, closed to the public and the media. What was discussed during the meeting could not be brought into the public domain, so Kerr made a motion at the July 24 council meeting to have the incamera meeting minutes made public. That motion passed with councillors Adams, Moglove and Storry opposed. According to the minutes, Hydro spokesperson Stephen Watson attended the in-camera session, distributed a five-page handout and explained to council that the power company’s offer still needs to be approved by the BC Utilities Commission in early 2013. Still, council passed a motion to accept Hydro’s contribution of

BDAY
%%%Ylk @Ëd ADjk`cc X ;<M@C
75 per cent of the project costs with Mayor Walter Jakeway and Kerr the only two opposed. As part of the motion, council will also continue to work with BC Hydro to reduce project costs and seek assistance to secure additional sources of funding. The city expects the project to cost between $15 and $20 million but a definite figure is still up in the air. “To the Campbell River taxpayers it’s a huge amount and it’s going to increase taxes,” Ker r said. “We’re talking a significant amount of money here to the Campbell River taxpayer, plus we don’t even know yet what the exact number is.” M ayo r Ja kew ay agrees with Kerr that Hydro should be footing the bill, not the community. “It’s not a Campbell River responsibility,” he said. “It’s a (BC Hydro) project cost. They can spin doctor the situation all they want, but nothing has changed.” Watson thought otherwise. “The city has been
very supportive of the John Hart project, and our ongoing positive relationship has culminated in an agreement on BC Hydro’s funding contribution,” he said in a joint press release issued by BC Hydro and the city following the in-camera meeting. Kerr said he’s still trying to understand why council jumped to accept Hydro’s offer so quickly, when the project is still at least one or two years down the road. “To me it just doesn’t make sense,” Ker r said. “There was limited discussion and it was done too fast. “Partners don’t cut off your water supply and if we’re partners with BC Hydro you just don’t do that. They should be paying for the full cost and it’s a good position to stick with.” The city could apply for federal and provincial grants to cover the remainder of the costs, but Kerr said that’s taking away funding for other city projects. Coun. Andy Adams, liaison to BC Hydro, confir med the city will look elsewhere for financial support. “The city is not in a position to pay for the water intake construction,” he said. “City
council supports this agreement for funding support and appreciates BC Hydro’s contribution and continued assistance. The city has always been a strong supporter of the John Hart project and the significant economic opportunities, investment and job creation this will bring.” The city plans to finalize costs, timelines, and plans for the new water intake from the John Hart Lake this fall. The John Hart Dam Generating Station upg rade project is expected to be complete by the end of 2018. The project will replace an aging facility, operating since 1947 and is expected to improve power reliability and seismic safety. The project involves replacement of the water intake, replacing the pipes with a tunnel, constructing a replacement generating station, and building a new water bypass facility. The John Hart project is undergoing a review by the BC Utilities Commission.
One person is in hospital with serious injuries after a multiple-vehicle collision on the Island Highway just north of Campbell River. At 9:56 a.m. Tuesday morning, Campbell River RCMP say a vehicle travelling north bound collided with the last vehicle in a line up of motorists stopped due to construction on the highway near McDonald Road. “One person from the stopped traffic was seriously injured,” says Staff Sgt. Troy Beauregard. “The driver of the north bound vehicle was also injured. Both have been transported to Campbell River Hospital for treatment.” The Campbell River RCMP, assisted by a Collision Reconstructionist from the North Island Traffic Services, remain at the scene conducting a detailed investigation. Police are investigating potential causes of the collision. Tuesday afternoon, the highway was open to just single lane traffic. No names or further information will be released at this time as the investigation is still underway, say police. 487 HARROGATE MLS 337188 NEW PRICE!!! $267,000

The total budget is estimated at $1.1 million with $111,000 to be spent in 2012 for detailed design and tendering and in 2013, $64,000 is budgeted for project management with $904,200 is set aside for the arena floor and dasher board system. Brian Reardon, the re gional district’s chief administrative officer, recommended the Strathcona Gardens Commission get moving on the project. “By issuing the RFP (Request for Proposals) this month, we would be able to confir m timelines and project costs prior to next year’s budget planning process,” he said in a
letter to the commission. “In addition, it would be important to confirm the estimated timelines to complete the project, so that preparations could be identified and communicated to the user groups.” Reardon said after talking with other municipalities that have done similar arena upgrades, the regional district would like to have the same company both design and build the improvements. The upgrades, which include replacing the slab floor, boards and brine lines, are necessary to prevent further deterioration of the 40-year-old rink. Making things difficult is the lack of funding at the regional district’s disposal. “Potential funding sources for projects of this magnitude are limited and the timing for starting the upgrade project becomes critical to the operation of the facility,” said Josie Rohne, Strathcona Gardens facility manager. “Although we have searched out sponsorship it is more likely that funding sources will have to include government grants in

order to secure funding elsewhere.” The regional district, with the backing of the city, did apply in February for a $400,000 grant from the $30 million B.C. Community Recreation Fund, aimed at supporting community recreation projects. But the application was denied much to both parties’ disappointment. “When we review the list of projects that were approved around the province, the number of regions that had multiple projects approved, and the fact that nearby regions received over $1 million in grant approvals, it leaves us wondering why our application wasn’t given favourable consideration,” Coun. Andy Adams and chair of the Strathcona Gardens Commission wrote in a letter to the ministry in May. “The one project that the regional district
applied for is a vitally important project to the community as the arena floor and brine lines are on the brink of failure.” If the repairs are not done soon, the concrete slab under the ice will fail, making it impossible to make proper ice. There is already a large crack running across the floor that has been filled with deteriorated material. Rohne said putting off the improvements is not an option. “Not proceeding with this project has the potential of loss of revenues and employment for many of our staff,” Rohne said. “Not to say the implications of the ice cancellations to both minor hockey groups and adult hockey. Our Jr. B hockey club (Campbell River Storm) would be affected and that would also have an effect on the Island Jr. (VIJHL) as a whole.”

Valley ‘butt of a bad federal joke’ with redistribution Comox Valley residents are sounding the alarm about a federal riding redistribution proposal that apparently would hive off much of the Comox Valley from Vancouver Island North, transferring it to Nanaimo-Alberni. “We in the Comox Valley have somehow become the butt of an incredible bad federal joke,” wrote Dorothy Drubek in a letter to the editor of the Comox Valley Record. “I have just received a copy of the proposed electoral map of B.C. for the distribution of federal districts and I
am horrified. “The plan for our area is to basically divide Courtenay in half, with all of us north of the river to remain in the North Island district — and those of us south of the river to join the Nanaimo-Alberni riding,” she adds. In another letter to the editor, Tom Finkelstein contributed his thoughts. “It appears that the appointees to the commission, assisted by federal bureaucrats who have likely never seen the Valley, wish to tear its heart out,” Finkelstein writes.
“
THEY SAID IT: “The plan for our are is to basically divide Courtenay in half.” – Dorothy Drubek
“To divide this community along the Courtenay part of Comox Road and the old highway (Highway 19A) makes no sense.” The federal government is proposing to change the boundary in the riding of Vancouver Island North, in keeping with a
5x9.64
10-year practice following the census where electoral districts and boundaries are revised to reflect population shifts and growth. There will be a public hearing in October about the proposed change. The province is gaining six electoral districts due to population increases. In 2001 there were about 3.9 million people in B.C. The 2011 census pegged it at 4.4 million. “High population growth was noted between the North Shore and Chilliwack, on Vancouver Island,
in the Okanagan as well as in the Kamloops area,” John Hall, chair of the Electoral Boundaries Commission for B.C., said in a news release. “These changes have prompted us to make substantial adjustments to the boundary lines in these regions.” The commission also focused on historical patterns and community of interest or identity to achieve the goal of effective representation in Parliament. “We also bore in mind the proper representation of First
Nations communities and residents of the northern electoral districts,” Hall said. Under the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act, the commission’s main aim in redrawing boundaries is to divide the province into electoral districts as close to the average population as reasonably possible. Residents can share their views about the proposed federal electoral map at a public hearing Oct. 15 at 7 p.m. at Crown Isle in Courtenay. Those wishing to make a presentation need to notify the commission no later than Aug. 30. Notices of presentation should include:
■ Name, address and contact information; ■ Organization represented (if any); ■ Date of the public hearing; ■ A short overview of issue(s); ■ Official language of preference; ■ Any accommodation needs. Written notice can be e-mailed to bc-cb@ rfed-rcf.ca or mailed to Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for British Columbia, 1095 West Pender St., Suite 301, Vancouver, B.C. V6E 2M6. Alternatively, forms can be filled out at www.federal-redistribution.ca under British Columbia > Public Hearings.

Turkey vultures undeservedly get a bad rap There are many reasons why wildlife is admitted to M.A.R.S. – this year many of our patients have been admitted due to impacts with a variety of vehicles. We have seen many fawns, eagles, and songbirds to name a few that have perished or been badly injured as they attempted to cross a road. The latest victim is not a common visitor to M.A.R.S. but a very interesting bird. Long perceived as disgusting, ugly birds, turkey vultures are actually incredibly fascinating creatures with some unusual features and habits. Their Latin name “ C a t h a r t e s Au r a ” means “purifier” and the Cherokee Indian tribe called them the “peace eagle” due to their non-aggressive behaviour. For years these birds
were classified as rap- birds that are often tors, but extensive mistaken for bald studies of their hab- eagles, turkey vultures its, anatomy and DNA have a wing span of proved them 170-183 centito be related metres and can to the stork weigh between f a m i l y. 850 grams T hey certo 2.2 kilos. tainly lack Often seen in many rapgroups, turkey tor features, vultures use they do have the ther mal talons but c u r re n t s t o Sandy Fairfield soar together, they have MARS Moment weak, flat they carry feet which their wings are not designed for in a distinct V-shape grasping; beaks are but seldom flap their short and not powerful or sharp enough to kill prey. Unlike eagles they do not rely on their eyesight to locate prey, rather they detect prey by smell. The part of the brain that processes smell is larger than any other avian or mammal species and they can detect the gasses produced by rotting carrion. Large dark brown
wings, they just turn to gain altitude. Up close there is little doubt which is the vulture as these birds
have featherless, red wrinkled heads (juvenile heads are dark grey or black). Instead of a curved yellow

Turkey vultures have a very smart but repulsive way of protecting themselves and their food from predators, if cornered they will regurgitate or projectile vomit over their food or intruder, very few predators will be tempted to stick around to eat! Probably they have to resort to these habits as a means of defence as unlike other birds Continued on A10

they lack vocal organs and are only able to groan and hiss. Often accused of spreading disease, these vultures are an important part of cleansing our ecosystems, especially in arid areas. Their digestive systems are extremely ef ficient and their immune systems very sophisticated, which prevents them from contracting diseases or from passing on any disease through their
feces. These birds can often be seen standing with their wings open which is a method of cooling down or drying off their feathers, it also bakes off any bacteria or parasites they may have. Turkey vultures also have very efficient kidneys allowing them to store water; in very hot conditions they will actually defecate on their own legs. Adult vultures have few predators, often these birds are hit by
cars as they dine on road kill, but the young fledgling birds are prone to attacks from eagles, owls, crows and ravens. The unfortunate turkey vulture that came to M.A.R.S. was hit by a garbage truck and somehow managed to flip up over the truck and land inside. Fortunately for the vulture the truck had just been emptied, but not so great for Reg who had to climb in to retrieve
An adult turkey vulture is being rehabilitated by M.A.R.S. the hissing vulture. After an examination
at Van Isle Vet Clinic it was confirmed that the vulture had a severely broken wing which required lengthy surgery to insert pins into the wing bones. To prevent the vulture from picking at the wound it was fitted with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;worry pegâ&#x20AC;? to pick at instead of the dressings. The vulture continues to have daily dressing changes in order to prevent infection and it still faces several more
weeks of rehab. Our thanks to Van Isle and the other veterinarians who donate hours of their time to help injured wildlife. Be sure to watch out for these birds later this month as they are gathering in flocks ready to make the fall migration back to southern California and beyond.

Collapse of sewer deal frustrates resident KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The city’s recent announcement that it won’t provide sewer service to neighbourhoods south of the city limits is frustrating one resident who is fed up with his local government’s failure to secure the project. “This project was not complicated,” said Mark Treacy, a resident of Area D (Crawford Road/Oyster Bay) who stood to benefit from a new sewer system. “Municipalities implement these projects and complete them all the time. How a small group in the regional district can live with themselves by purposely choosing to poison the environment... is the lowest form of human development possible.” The Strathcona Re g i o n a l D i s t r i c t , which governs Area D, has been negotiating with the city since 2006
to connect 172 homes in the Ocean Grove and Crawford Loop neighbourhoods to the city’s sewer system but has been unable to come to an agreement. The city said it was forced to pull out because the two parties could not reach a deal that would recover all city costs. Brenda Leigh, regional director representing Area D, said last week the city’s Oct. 11, 2011 offer of $22,000 was too high – more than double the $9,350 that Area D residents approved at a referendum in 2006. Since then, the regional district has secured $5.1 million in federal and provincial grant funding and is expected to spend $8,000 of its own money in 2012. The regional district approved $6,500 in its financial plan for inhouse staff engineering, as well as another $1,500 for a study conducted by an outside

engineer. Leigh said the regional district has those up-to-date plans now in its possession and plans to present them to Northern Area D residents sometime in the fall. But Treacy is skeptical. “For as long as the director of Area D has maintained her seat, there has been the proverbial carrot dangled in front of her constituents,” he said. “Six years ago a referendum was held and the residents voted with majority vote to resolve the sewer issue knowing this was in the best interest of Beautiful British Columbia. After six years there have been proposed studies, none of which have surfaced in respect to moving forward with the sewer project.” Treacy said he’s desperate to get off his
septic system and is disappointed with the lack of progress. “The need for a sewer system is a real fact,” he said. “There is a study showing numerous septic failures allowing for human fecal matter to flow freely into roadside ditches, creeks and streams. The lawn surface on the residence adjacent to mine during summer months flows of this same waste. “Now we stand at a crossroads where the sewer project and its provincial and federal directives have been thwarted. The will of the people has been met with slight regard and ignorance.” Leigh, however, said she did consult with her constituents after the city’s $22,000 offer last fall. “I took their proposal door-to-door and found that there was no sub-
stantial public support in Northern Area D,” Leigh said. “Campbell River’s for mer proposal would put the cost of connection to the city system out of reach for the average Northern Area D resident.” She said the city was not willing to budge on its offer and accommodate Area D. “Campbell River has not demonstrated any willingness to negotiate since sending out a proposed draft agreement which would have charged each household in Area D more than $22,000. Staff tried to re-negotiate after the (November municipal) election, but it would appear that no acceptable agreement could be reached.” Leigh said the regional district still plans to keep moving forward with the project.

Planning for Life Changes Universally Designed, Universally Appealing
2X14
Taken from an article by Elyse Umlauf-Garneau
Sleek, chic and stylish.Those are rarely adjectives applied to properties that cater to an aging population. But a universal design is possible and appealing. Diane Rogers So whether you’re renovating a parent’s home, building a new one, or making modifications to accommodate multigenerational living, consider incorporating universal design principles. “A lot is just common sense,” as pointed out by Shankman-Cohn. • One no-step, accessible entrance: Barrier-free access point allows seniors trying to get into a house with and boomers pulling luggage after a vacation. • First-floor bedroom and bathroom: A room on the first floor can serve as a study/den until need arises for main floor bedroom. • Wide doors and hallways: Aim for doors and hallways that are 48 inches wide. Wider doors and halls benefit those in wheelchairs or needing assistance. • Curbless showers: A no-step shower delivers an appealing contemporary look, and it’s practical for older residents, for a person in a wheelchair. Also incorporate a seat, grab bars etc. • Kitchens: Installing multiple levels of counters can make kitchen space universally accessible. Opt for counters at heights ranging from 28 inches to 48 inches, or install adjustable ones. Dangers that lurk!: • Clutter: Newspapers, bags, etc. piled up in corners and elsewhere can be hazardous for an elderly person with physical limitations or for a baby boomer rushing to leave for work. • Flooring: Cushy carpeting may feel great, but it’s a huge impediment for someone trying to maneuver a walker or wheelchair. An elderly person gets around better on bare floors, points out Shankman- Cohn. And a gleaming marble floor in a bathroom makes that slick surface into a potentially dangerous skating rink, observes Shankman-Cohn. • Kitchen hazards: Placing a microwave above a range seems like a terrific way to use empty space.

Our View
Olympics show a better world In a world where there is often precious little to celebrate, where citizens must die for democracy, people are gunned down in a movie theatre and countless other acts leave us saddened, disheartened or just plain cynical, every two years a We say: Two-week spectacle takes place that breathes life back into the human spirit. celebration of The Olympic Games are a two-week youth, goodwill celebration of youth, goodwill and ultimate effort. A glimpse, perhaps, and effort into the lighter side, the better side, of the human condition. The Olympics are a spectacle where failure doesn’t result in civil war or poverty, but only an acknowledge-
ment that more work is required. To lose leaves little consequence; we simply move on to the next event and hope. Simon Whitfield’s crash in triathlon and the women’s loss in soccer to the U.S. left us disappointed, although the bronze medal win over France left us elated. To win leaves us punching the air in celebration, with lumps in our throat as our national anthem plays. We see the joy and understanding in the athlete at the top of the podium, having carried an entire nation’s hopes on their shoulders and succeeded. To have so much sacrifice pay off. That is what we celebrate. And while every Olympics has its shortfalls, corpo-
rate sponsorships and huge investment in venues, the price is worth it. For two weeks, the world converges in one place without politics, religion or greed. For two weeks, we get a glimpse of a world without borders. As the 2012 London Olympics draw to a close, and as the Olympic Flame is once again set to be extinguished, we can look back and pocket the moments of inspiration, learn from the failures and embrace the human race. The Olympics is not only a spectacle, but a necessity. – Black Press
Letters
Trails meet high standards I am shocked that you published this letter from someone outside our community. How can they have any knowledge of how our trails are built or maintained? And why single out mountain bike trails, many hiking trails are far worse in both construction and maintenance than trails used for cycling. The River City Cycle Club are in a partnership with BC Parks and MOF to be the Stewards of the local trail system used primarily for mountain biking, known a The Snowden Demonstration Forest. These trails are built and maintained to the highest internationally recognised standards as set out by IMBA, the International Mountain Bike Association. The standards as set out have been adopted by many areas, and are now used in many parks for hiking trails. The trail standards are designed to build sustainable trails that cause minimal impact to environment. Is there an impact to environment? Yes, but there is an impact to the environment from all human activities. Do you drive a car? Ride a bus? Travel in a plane or boat? Do you live in a house? Use electricity? Eat food Continued on A12

Northern Gateway pipeline posturing doesn’t help
Tom Fletcher B.C. Views
The B.C. Liberal government is taking its new hard-line approach to federal environmental hearings on the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline proposal in September. Environment Minister Terry Lake has filed the B.C. government’s notice to cross-examine Enbridge, one of the world’s biggest pipeline operators. Lake outlined the “tough questions” B.C. representatives will ask about spill response capacity on land and sea, tanker escort tugboats, pipe wall thickness, and Enbridge’s sluggish response to a pipeline rupture in Michigan. That’s all fine, and to be expected after Premier Christy Clark’s highprofile confrontation with Alberta
Premier Alison Redford going into the recent premiers’ meeting in Halifax. Clark’s demands for “world-leading” safety and spill response, as well as meeting the constitutional obligation to consult and accommodate aboriginal groups along the route, are mostly a statement of the obvious. Her call for a “fair share” of proceeds from exported oil to reflect B.C.’s risk has been assaulted from all sides. Pipeline opponents seized on Clark’s suggestion that a major oil spill might be tolerable if there was enough money in it for B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix picked up the theme as he conducted his own
belated tour of the proposed route to reiterate his opposition. There had been earlier hints from Alberta that B.C. might need further rewards for the risk. But when Clark made the “fair share” demand public, Redford was moved to channel Margaret Thatcher, declaring: “The Premier of Alberta is not going to blink on royalties.” The lady’s not for blinking, but neither is B.C.’s Iron Snowbird, as Preston Manning dubbed Clark this spring. All this political theatre doesn’t amount to much. I’ll stand by my January prediction that the Enbridge proposal is unlikely to proceed, mainly due to the tangled state of aboriginal claims. Wealthy U.S. foundations
that view the B.C. North Coast as their 500-year eco-experiment will be happy to help fund a decade of legal challenges, while continuing the media-spinning and protest support they are doing now. Even if some way can be found to levy a B.C. tax on revenues from the Northern Gateway pipeline, it’s no solution. For one thing, it would confer an advantage to the Trans-Mountain pipeline that has been shipping Alberta oil to Burnaby and the U.S. for more than 60 years. The competing expansion proposal by Trans-Mountain’s current owner, Kinder Morgan, shows the inconsistency of opposition to pipelines. Does Continued on A12

We need to bring more people in What a pity Jos Krynen met with a negative response from city council (with the exception of Ron Kerr and Walter Jakeway) regarding promoting tourism to Campbell River, but no surprise really. Unless we remove the “old” guard at the next
local election nothing new will happen. As for Rivercorp promoting the city abroad best not to hold your breath on that. I would like throw an idea into the ring.... what about Campbell River having a market along the lines of The Old Country Market at
Coombs,( but without the goats on the roof !)? I am sure hundreds if not thousands of residents of this city visit this market on a regular basis taking their cash and spending it there. Also this market is so popular with tourists they arrive by the
busload. We have plenty of vacant buildings in the downtown core surely someone with vision could convert some to accommodate a covered market, it could become an attraction for locals and tourists and the influx of visitors would have a posi-
tive knock on effect for existing businesses. We need to bring more people into Campbell River and we need to have more on offer for them to return on a regular basis. Any entrepreneurs interested? Jane Davies Campbell River

Fletcher:Voters remain open-minded from outside your local area? Is your home made of wood or concrete? Live in a city? All these activities have far greater impact than trails. I could continue, however the point is mountain bikers for the most part are lov-
ers of nature and the environment and the impact of our sport is minimal when trail are built responsibly. We have strong partnerships with BC Park and MOF due to the fact we build responsibly and have a strong reliable volunteer work force that gets the job done. Your papers publish-
ing of this letter shows a lack of community awareness, a failure to understand the economic impact responsible sports have on a community as well as the positive social impact of recreation. Please be more responsible in what you print. Dan Clements Campbell River

anybody at the paper believes, it’s about the paper’s obligation to allow all viewpoints access to the space in our paper. By all means, dispute the letter writer’s claims but never dispute our responsibility to present all sides of the issue. Even if it’s from somebody outside of our community.
Fletcher:Voters remain open-minded Continued from A12
anyone really believe that a new pipeline built to the highest standards ever would be too dangerous, while a 60-year-old pipeline is acceptable? Protesters have an easy target in Kinder Morgan. With a tenfold increase to 25 tankers a
month proposed to sail under the Lions Gate bridge, a heavy oil spill from Second Narrows to Stanley Park would be catastrophic to Vancouver’s environment and economy. Tankers have made that trip safely nearly 100 years, but the congested modern shipping lane offers more
threat of collision, and clearing Burrard Inlet for near-daily tanker transits would disrupt the rest of B.C.’s shipping trade. An Angus Reid poll last week showed as many as half of respondents remain open-minded about the costs and benefits of new oil pipelines
across B.C. Unlike B.C. politicians, they seem interested in learning more before making up their minds. Dix and the NDP ran to the front of the antipipeline parade early, as they did with the carbon tax and other issues. Clark began the Norther n Gateway discussion with a
principled position to wait for the result of the federal review, but that’s apparently out the window with an election looming. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress. ca

More music announced for the Big Time Out There is something awesome brewing again up in the hills above the Comox Valley and it’s all about m a s s iv e s o u n d s , wicked visuals, huge dancing and big time fun! It’s The Big Time Out and it comes to life in the Village of Cumberland this August 18 and 19. The 2012 performer roster is chocked full with fresh talent from near and far and a final few artists have been added to the roster over the past two weeks including a huge talent who is coming home to the Island after a phenomenal touring year in some of Canada’s top venues. His travels this summer have included the Calgary Stampede and perfor mances of the song ‘Ride’, which he composed as the theme song for the Stampede’s 100th Anniversary. Wil has a gift and he loves to share it. In his musicianship, lyrics and live performance, he exudes an equal measure of ferocious intent and heart wrenching beauty: as one fan eloquently stated “he’s a saw blade cutting though
fine silk”. Whether performing live, recording an album or writing for film, Wil is a dedicated and consummate professional. Wil uses his legendary live show performances to develop his expansive roots-rock sound to create a style that is honest, edgy, raw and delicate yet achingly beautiful all at once. One such performance was written as “as having so much power and soul it could stop your heart.” Another recent addition to the 2012 program is Rocky M o u n t a i n Re b e l Music (RMRM). RMRM combine forces to create broadly influenced and super high energy music that drives the crowds into a dancing frenzy. Recently voted Victoria’s Favorite Band by Monday Magazine, RMRM is charged by Reggae, Rock, Funk, Dub, Dancehall, Punk, and World Rhythms, delivering an original sound that defies comparison. Shredding guitars, bubblin’ keys, smooth horns, hand
Luciterra, Humans, Longwalkshortdock, Mind of a Snail, Morlove, Flying Fox and the Hunter Gatherers, Kermal Evans and many more including an awesome roster of local talent. In addition to Village Park, Big Time Out 2012 is offering seven other amazing venues throughout the Village including an all ages Pyramid Lounge at the Cumberland Recreation Institute featuring Funk Hunters, Longwalkshortdock and a wicked roster of Island Dj’s, art shows and installation art projects, dance workshops, shadow puppet theatre and live local bands at three downtown pubs – your wristband gets you access to all of this. Wi t h t h e m a i n stage line up now announced tickets are flying.

ampbell Riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Discovery Fishing Pier is celebrating its 25th anniversary! For 25 years the Pier has been used as a recreation facility, a meeting place and a destination for tourists. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Pier is a source of pride for this community,â&#x20AC;? Says Ben Luck, concession operator for the Pier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many locals bring their visitors down to the Pier to show it off and to have ice cream. I often hear people saying, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you wish you had a place like this in your com-
munity?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Sustainability is a word we hear often in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s society. The Discovery Fishing Pier and the more recent Pier Street Farmers Market are major contributors to Campbell Riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s social sustainability. The Pier and market provide a destination for many folks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a place where people can plan to meet or simply bump into old friends. Luck says he sees three groups of people down at the Pier; tourists, locals and â&#x20AC;&#x153;local locals.â&#x20AC;? The local

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t long before the ice cream became as big an attraction at the pier as the fishing and the view.
locals are the folks who gather at the pier almost every day. The Pier is their social anchor. They provide Luck with a mug for their coffee and Luck keeps the mugs clean and safe. Regular locals visit the pier to enjoy the ice cream and a pleasant walk. Tourists are directed or taken to the pier by proud locals who want to show off this gem â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially on a Sunday when the Pier Street Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market is running. Enjoying the views, the good salt air, the great coffee and the best ice cream in town brings people back time and time again. The Discovery Pier
was built to provide fishing opportunities
for people and it has evolved into a hub of
social activity, representing much more
than fishing to Campbell River. People agree it is marvelous that 25 years ago, the City of Campbell River had the foresight to build a truly accessible facility which has become a center of activity for tourists, locals, and local locals. The city is celebrating 25 years of the Discovery Fishing Pier and 10 years of the Pier Street Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Discovery Pier entrance. Some of the highlights will be a kids fishing derby from 9 a.m. until noon, cake cutting at noon, free prizes drawn at 2 p.m. and free commemorative shopping bags for the first 100 people to enter the draw.

School supply drive in danger of running out of gas Effort outfits low income families for September
Cheque this out With the help of Cyriel DeBruyne, manager of Quality Foods, and the residents of Campbell River, Campbell River’s Fire and Rescue firefighters raised $3,226 at the pancake breakfast on July 1 – a new record for this event. Quality Foods provided all the supplies for the pancake breakfast and the money will go towards Muscular Dystrophy Canada, providing research funds, equipment and support for those who suffer from this debilitating neuro muscular disease.

The Campbell River Women’s Centre is launching its annual School Supply Drive. This project has been organized by staff at the Centre for the last eleven years and involves the distribution of basic school supplies to the children of low income families. Last year’s drive saw the distribution of close to 400 bags of supplies for children from Kindergarten to Grade 12. The Drive’s success is due to outstanding support from local businesses, indi-
viduals, community organizations such as the Altrusa Club, and corporate sponsors such as Walmart and the Coastal Community Credit Union. However, this year the School Supply Drive is off to a slow start and Women’s Centre Staff are expressing some concern over a slower than usual rate of donations. “We are a little worried,” said Event Coordinator, Marnie McLachlan, “unless donations pick up we’re going to be in a position of scaling back either the amount of supplies we provide or the number of children we serve. “The drive is being held a little earlier than usual this year, and people may not
be aware that the distribution dates are racing up on us. We are hoping that the community will continue to embrace this event and respond to the needs of our low income kids.” “People can help us by donating new school supplies. Cash donations are always welcome and people making cash donations are eligible for a charitable tax receipt. Donations may be dropped off at the Women’s Centre between 10 a.m. – 3 p.m., Monday to Thursday, or at the Coastal Community Credit Union during business hours. People wanting more information about the project should call the Centre at 250-2873044.”

implement effective strategies for attracting, integrating and retaining immigrants into the Canadian workforce. There is also a research component that allows the roundtable to provide direction on relevant and timely immigration research. The Immigrant Welcome Centre of North Vancouver Island was invited to join the roundtable after Diana Mackay, Director of Education, Health and Immigration Programs, of the Conference Board of Canada presented at the “Diversity Lives Here” Conference held
in Campbell River in May 2012. Diana was impressed by the coordinated approach that the Immigrant Welcome Centre provides in the smaller communities it serves, leading to the invitation. “This experience will lead to more opportunities for the region we serve.” Blaney states. “The roundtable has representatives from leadership in big business, small business, government, universities and foundations. Because immigration is an important factor in Canada’s future, it is my goal to make sure smaller commu-

nities are remembered in the planning process.” The Immigrant Welcome Centre serves the Comox Valley, Campbell River and the North Island.
The centre provides services to immigrants to help them integrate and settle into Canada. Over 350 clients have been served in the past six months, as immigra-
tion continues to bring innovative and skilled newcomers to the community. For more information contact the Campbell River office at 250 8300171.

Workshop can open a whole new can o’ worms This year, over 60,000 tonnes of garbage will be hauled to landfills operated by the Comox Strathcona waste management (CSWM) service, filling up space equivalent to approximately 35 Olympicsized swimming pools. So the CSWM service is encouraging people to reduce the amount of garbage generated in the first place by trying worm composting. Workshops at the CSWM compost education centres in the Comox Valley and Campbell River will show participants how to make a worm bin just for kitchen scraps. The workshops will be at the CSWM’s compost education centre in Campbell River on Saturday, August 11 at 10 a.m. and the CSWM’s Comox Valley compost education centre on Saturday, Aug. 18 at 10 a.m. “Discarded food scraps make up about 34 per cent of the weight of an average residential garbage can,” said Koreen Gurak, CVRD’s manager of communications. “Composting those scraps reduces the amount of garbage we send to the landfill, and it produces healthy soil that nurtures healthy plants.” Vermicomposting is a simple process used to convert organic waste into a usable product and can be achieved by setting up a worm bin inside one’s home. The worms don’t eat the leftover kitchen scraps; rather, they eat the bacteria and fungi that are actually eating the food scraps. The intestinal mucus of a worm is an excellent food source for some bacteria. They can thrive and repro-
duce inside the worm’s body, resulting in far more bacteria emerging from the digestive tract of the worm then were ingested in the first place. As a result, worm castings provide beneficial microorganisms as well as plant growth hormones and nutrients to the soil.
They have been shown to increase seedling germination, enhance growth and in some cases, impart disease resistance to plants. “I love talking to people about their worm bins and helping them solve any problems,” said Elaine Jansen, compost education educator. “One of my
greatest joys is talking to someone who learned how to make a worm bin from one of my workshops and moved on to start up worm bins for relatives and friends.” Come for the free workshop and begin composting with worms and improve the condition of your
soil -- watch your gardens come to life. For more infor mation on lawn and garden events, visit our website at www.cswm.ca/ composting.The Campbell River compost education centre is at 228 South Dogwood Street, and the Comox Valley location is at 4795 Headquarters Road in
Courtenay. The Comox Strathcona Waste Management service is a function of the Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) and is responsible for two regional waste management centres that serve the Comox Valley and Campbell River, as well as a range of transfer
stations and smaller waste-handling and recycling facilities for the electoral areas of the CVRD and the Strathcona Regional District. The CSWM service manages over 100,000 tonnes of waste and recycled material and oversees a number of diversion and education programs.

better as the year progressed. “I know the girls who were red shirts or didn’t play a lot last year: Kristy Seaby, Layne Kraushe, Courtney Dennill and Emily Bailey helped themselves a great deal with all the extra work they did.”

Drive Smart BC Out of Position? Beware the Airbag! Out of sight, out of mind. This is a phrase that we often use to describe something that is easily dismissed or not important unless it is not in our direct view. The airbags in our vehicles definitely fall into this category, but this should not be the case. If they are ignored, they can hurt as much as they help during a collision. If I were to place a bet on whether you had read the entire section in your vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manual about airbags I would bet that you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. I make this guess based on what I see happening around me in traffic when I travel. You would not be a front seat passenger with your feet up on the dash if you truly understood what would happen to you if that airbag deployed. Ditto with a pillow against the B pillar sleeping if your vehicle has side curtain airbags. An airbag deployment is really a controlled explosion. It has to be ready in the blink of an eye in order to get between you and your vehicle in time to protect you. Remember, the trigger occurs after the start of the collision with whatever you are colliding with and the force of deployment is significant. You may consider it too boring to bother with but it may fall into the category of â&#x20AC;&#x153;youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be glad that you did.â&#x20AC;? If you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t read your vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manual about seatbelts and airbags, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to dig it out now. The education is worth your time and could save you from serious injury. The author is a retired constable with many years of traffic enforcement experience.
