Mission report reflects favourably on Campbell River’s financial position KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Despite the deterioration of the city’s industrial tax base, Campbell River’s financial picture

looks positive when compared to municipalities of similar size. The city recently participated in a core service review for Mission which involved comparing itself with Campbell River, Ver-

non, Penticton, Langford and North Cowichan. The results of the review, conducted by consulting firm Acton, were surprising. “For this study, you will note

that the financial metrics of Campbell River as a comparable to the other cities is very positive,” said City Manager Andy Laidlaw. “In consideration of See “Report: Debt below...” on A3

There seems to be confusion on council surrounding the city’s plans for capital projects. At a council meeting July 24, Mayor Walter Jakeway was upset council voted to go ahead this year with an application for a federal grant to improve Centennial Park because he said the project did not follow the 2012-2016 capital plan. “So why bother doing a financial plan in the springtime and all of that effort when the Centennial Park playground isn’t shown until 2013,” Jakeway said at the meeting. “Why let a federal grant throw us off ? There’s no point doing a financial or strategic plan if we’re not prepared to follow it.” Jakeway’s comments were published in the Mirror Aug. 8. A few days later, Coun. Larry Samson, liaison to the parks and recreation department, said he didn’t understand why the mayor made those comments. Samson said the Centennial Park improvement project is keeping in-line with the financial plan council approved this spring. “While we’re applying for the grant this year, the project would not be completed until next year which is in-line with the 2013 capital plan,” Samson said. “We apply for the grant this year and by the See “Park: Project has...” on A3

Seafood Cook Off puts the salmon back into Salmon Festival

SCENE & HEARD

While the chainsaws of the Logger Sports competition buzzed away, the cooks were hard at it in the Seafood Cook Off at the Campbell River Salmon Festival. Delicious dishes were presented and the lucky judges decided which were the best of the best. Meanwhile, the music stage provided background music.

Logger Sports PROCESS Amy of Amy’s Asian Foods showed how she’s the master of the kitchen with this spectacular creation.

Ron Wood had the enviable task of deciding which dish was worthy of the blue ribbon.

John Harris (above), representing Popsy’s, presented this delicious feast for the judges with the help of his able assistant Kaydence Harris (below).

Providing background music for the cook off and the festival were many musical acts including Teva, Finna and Doug McGillis.

Report: Debt below average Continued from A1 the significant losses of industrial tax revenue (due to the closure of Catalyst mill) over the last several years, Campbell River finds itself comparatively well-positioned in relation to the other cities.” In arguably the most important statistic, Campbell River’s longterm outstanding debt is well below average. “Not only has Campbell River remained significantly below average in terms of (its) total long-term debt outstanding, but it has also been declining since 2008 while the average has increased,” writes

Laidlaw in his report to council. “Campbell River currently has the lowest total long-term debt outstanding of all the comparators.” In 2008, the city’s debt sat at $15 million but by 2011 the long-term debt was down to about $8 million. In comparison, the average of the other four communities combined was $31 million in 2008 and $34 million by 2011. And in contrast to Mayor Walter Jakeway’s cries during his 2011 election campaign that the city engages in too much wasteful spending, Campbell River’s expenditures per capita are in line

with other similarsized communities. In 2009, the city’s expenditures per capita decreased from $1.8 million to $1.4 million but have increased slightly every year since. However, as Laidlaw points out, rates have remained average each year. In 2010, Campbell River’s expenditures per capita were $1.5 million while in 2011 they were $1.6 million. Jakeway had said during his mayoral bid last fall that the city was spending too much, which was contributing to high taxes. “I think Campbell

River does not have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem,” he said at the time. The Acton study also found Campbell River’s financial assets to liabilities ratio to be higher than average at 1.6 in 2011, compared to the average of 0.8. The city’s tangible capital assets was below average in 2011 at $201 million while the average sat at $351 million and the city’s t o t a l g o ve r n m e n t transfers to revenue ratio is on the rise. In 2011, Campbell River’s gover nment transfers to total revenue was at a rate of 0.2, while the average was just above 0.1.

Park: Project has been budgeted for Continued from A1 time it’s approved and we start construction, it wouldn’t be until 2013.” He said council has budgeted $56,000 in the city’s 2013 capital plan for Centennial Park. The project involves upgrading the practice tennis court and turning it into a multisport court as well as replacing the current playground with a natural playscape, which is aimed at free play, sensory discovery and helping kids form a connection to nature. If the city’s application for a chunk of the

federal government’s Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund is successful, the city would still need to cover 50 per cent of the project cost, which would be equal to roughly $225,000. Coun. Andy Adams was supportive of applying for the grant, as the park serves vulnerable and at-risk children and youth. “This is an area that is a mid-to-low income area (that) provides opportunities and is surrounded by a large residential area in the middle of town,” Adams said. “Centen-

nial Park was in the five-year parks and recreation plan.” But Coun. Ron Kerr sided with Jakeway’s line of thinking. “I don’t believe in just supporting a program because the federal government comes along with a grant,” he said. “I don’t think this was on our list of projects this year.” In the end, council elected to apply for the

grant for Centennial Park as well for the Big Rock Boat Ramp upgrades, should there be a second intake of applications. Samson admitted that project would be fast-tracked if funding is made available: “In fact it’s the Big Rock Boat Ramp we’re moving ahead because it’s not scheduled until 2014 under the approved capital plan.”

Heavy equipment dealership’s move causes rumblings KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A heavy duty truck and equipment dealer is relocating and one resident fears the business will hurt his neighbourhood. Inland Kenworth, which deals in sales, parts and service of commercial trucks, as well as logging and mining equipment, is planning a move to accommodate its growing business. The relocation was pending council approval of the company’s development permit application at Tuesday night’s council meeting after the Mirror went to press. If approved, Inland Kenworth’s new home, the former Bill Howich RV site, will provide for a 24,326 square foot building – more than double the current 10,000 square foot facility Kenworth has occupied for the last 20 years. “ B a s i c a l ly we ’ve

outgrown the building we’re in,” said Bill Morrison, assistant manager of the Campbell River Inland Kenworth branch. “We’ve ran out of room in the parts warehouse.” The company also has to do most of its repairs outside due to limited space in its four service bays. In the new store, all of the work will be done inside, including washing of all the vehicles. The building will also be more environmentally-friendly. “It will be totally self-contained, there’s no environmental hazard,” Morrison said. “So when we bring in a piece of equipment there will be no debris because all of the storage parts will all be kept inside. So we’ll have a nice, clean lot with basically just employee, guest, and sales parking outside. We want to show off our trucks so we’ll put them on our front lot.” But Greg Kirby, who’s

lived on Effie Joy Road, off of Perkins, since 1964, is worried Inland Kenworth’s new home between Coulter and Perkins roads is too close for comfort. “City hall is allowing a noisy industrial business next to a residential area,” Kirby said. “The methods used to work on that machin-

ery are all heavy industrial, you have sledge hammering, grinding, all very annoying. It’s going to be added to the noise we’re already forced to put up with,” said Kirby, who lives near car dealerships, auto repair shops and other light industry. He said he’s also concerned that he will be

downwind from potential diesel fumes. Ross Blackwell, the city’s land use manager, said the city is doing all that it can and Inland Kenworth’s operations conform to the subject property’s Commercial Four and Industrial One zonings. “ We c a n n o t g o

around dictating what’s preferred and not preferred,” Blackwell said. “We would be sued in a second and we would lose. We cannot shut someone out of a zone with a permissible use.” Blackwell also doesn’t perceive there to be any conflicts with Inland Kenworth and residential neighbours. “The site is within a commercial/industrial area and is several lots removed from the nearest residential properties on Perkins Road and Effie Joy Road,” he said. “It is therefore considered that there would be no significant or direct adverse impacts to any residential properties.” Morrison of Inland Kenworth also doesn’t foresee any trouble. “We’ll be starting up the vehicles outside but all of the work will be done inside,” Morrison said. “It’s all being done in the building with full-size bays.”

As for Kirby’s concerns about exposure to poisonous fumes, Morrison said new vehicles sold by Kenworth run on diesel particulate filters and urea. Those two combinations allow for very few diesel emissions. “ I t ’s ve r y, ve r y clean,” he said. “It’s basically steam coming out of the pipes. Environmental studies on these things say you can breathe in the exhaust, it’s that clean. It’s not like the thick, black exhaust you used to see.” Still, Kirby said he’d prefer to see the city develop land for industrial use in areas such as Menzies Bay, Middle Point, the airport, or even along the Inland Island Highway. “There’s a certain morality at stake here,” he said. Inland Kenworth’s major development permit was up for discussion and potential approval by council Tuesday night.

Simms Creek speed bump removal accelerated KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

KRISTEN DOUGLAS/THE MIRROR

A culvert running under Galerno Road is to be upgraded and speed bumps placed on the road above to minimize damage caused by vehicle speed will be removed.

Speed bumps on Galerno Road that surprised area residents are expected to be removed by the end of next month. The city asked council to approve the Galer no/Simms Creek culvert repair work at Tuesday’s council meeting to a local company, which will erase the need for the speed bumps. City staff recommended council hire the lowest bidder for the work, McElhanney Consulting Services Ltd., at a cost of $193,455 to be funded by the Storm Water Parcel Tax Reserve. The culvert was not scheduled for rehabilitation until 2013 but an engineer recently found the culvert, which runs underneath Galerno Road, has deteriorated to the point that it is no longer capable of carrying the required loads.

The culvert bears the weight of the vehicles that pass along Galerno as well as a number of utilities that pass over the culvert within the roadway including a water main, a gravity sanitary sewer, a concrete encased Telus duct bank and a natural gas main. Two months ago, the city was advised the culvert is buckling and the north wall of the culvert has impacted the road. “The city’s consultant has determined that the risk is too high to delay the required remedial works to the Galerno Road Simms Creek culvert until 2013 as was originally planned based on the most recent inspection,” said Drew Hadfield, city transportation manager, in a report to council. “Accordingly, the city has issued a request for proposals for a designbuild solution to be completed prior to the end of September.”

In the meantime, the city has propped up the steel pipe culvert in fish-bearing Simms Creek with screw jacks and timber beams. The speed bumps and a 30 kilometre per hour speed zone have slowed down traffic in an attempt to delay the breakdown of the culvert. But the speed bumps have done more than slow traffic, they also landed a Campbell River teen in hospital with injuries to his ribs, face, legs, wrist, and elbow a few weeks ago. Blair Mark, 16, was riding his skateboard southbound down the Galerno hill at night, and unaware of the small square-top speed bumps at the bottom of hill, he hit the speed bumps at full force, causing his board to stop and Mark to go flying through the air. The city had installed signs on either end of the speed bumps to notify motorists of

the change, but did not send out notification letters to residents in the area. Hadfield said he would like the repairs to be done, and the speed bumps taken out, by September in order to avoid higher flow conditions in Simms Creek during the fall and winter months. “The works to be undertaken in this project are of an urgent nature and are time-sensitive based on in-stream works as well as fall weather conditions that could see further deterioration of the crossing,” Hadfield said. “The work for this project will require either a short closure of Galerno Road during the construction period of traffic control in place. “Staf f will work with the consultant to determine the safest and most effective approach to the work site and will post local signage as required.”

‘High probability’ of disturbing whales in Discovery Passage enough to convict boater A boater charged with harassing a group of orca whales two years ago was found guilty on two charges in Campbell River provincial court Aug. 7. Carl Eric Peterson was found guilty by Judge Brian Saunderson of unlawfully disturbing a marine mammal while not fishing and of unlawfully harassing a threatened wildlife species. The incident occurred on Oct. 3, 2010 in Discovery Passage between Quadra Island and Campbell River. Peterson was operating a power boat in the vicinity of a group of orcas, or killer whales, when eyewitness Fishery Officer Carlos Paramio said two orcas surfaced about 60 metres in front of

Cyclist complaints There have been an increasing number of complaints in regards to cyclists riding on the sidewalks in city limits, according to the RCMP. “This is more noticable in the areas that are in between the sea walk and other dedicated trails,” said Staff Sgt. Troy Beauregard. “Cyclists are reminded that when riding their bikes they are to be on the roads following traffic laws and when on the sidewalks they are to dismount.” Cycling on a sidewalk carries a $109 fine. Members of the Campbell River RCMP will be monitoring for this while conducting bike patrols.

Power boats in prohibited area Police have received a complaint about power driven vessels traveling in the propeller prohibited zone adjacent to Tyee Spit. Propeller driven boats and floatplanes are prohibited from operating between

Peterson’s boat. Paramio told the court during Peterson’s two-day trial Jan. 11-12, 2012, that Peterson accelerated towards the pair of whales. The orcas dove as Peterson’s boat got closer, and then slowed down. Paramio said he saw Peterson approach four or five times, with the boat getting closer each time. He said the last time, the boat was 15-25 metres behind the whales “and at that point the vessel did a quick U-turn and immediately went into planing speed and left the area.” Shortly after, Peterson was stopped by Paramio and accompanying fishery officer Greg Askey. Askey, who was driv-

ing the officers’ patrol boat, cor roborated Paramio’s testimony and said he saw Peterson motor in and out among as many as four whales. “As the whales were moving, the boat would come up...not quite onto the plane, but what I call a ploughing speed...to where the whales surfaced, stop,” Askey told the court. “The whales would go down. (Peterson would) plough forward again as they would come up.” Judge Saunderson wrote in his written decision handed down Aug. 7 that “the testimony of the Crown witnesses was not solely attacked during cross-examination. Furthermore, I accept as substantially accu-

rate the fishery officers’ estimates of distances.” According to Saunderson, there is no law specifying the minimum distances boaters must maintain between their vessels and orcas. All that exists are guidelines laid out in a leaflet called Be Whale Wise. It describes and illustrates a “no-go zone” within 100 metres laterally and 400 metres ahead of and behind a pod of travelling killer whales. Saunderson said these guidelines “do not have the force of law, but were available to boaters.” Dr. John Ford, an expert on whale biology, prepared a report for the court stating those guidelines have

long been in place in both Canada and the United States. Ford could not say with certainty that Peterson’s boat disturbed the whales, but there was the potential to disturb them. Ford wrote in his re p o r t t h at cl o s e approaches to killer whales have the potential to disrupt the normal behaviour pattern of orcas by changing their speed, direction of travel, dive cycles, and frequency of tail slaps. “The noise created by their (nearby) motors... can mask the vocalizations that whales use to communicate and navigate under water,” Ford wrote. “In my opinion, both are factors in disturbance responses.

“Such disturbance can cause short-term disruption of behaviours such as resting, feeding, socializing, and mother/calf interactions such as nursing.” In finding Peterson guilty, Saunderson said Crown counsel showed there was a “very high probability” that the whales were disturbed, which was more than needed.

Proof of an actual disturbance is not required by law. “On the second point, nothing in the evidence suggests that the defendant was fishing for marine mammals – or anything else – at the time, and I find that he was not fishing,” Saunderson wrote. “The charges have been proved and I find the defendant guilty of counts one and two.”

Our View

Proceed with caution on electronic voting The provincial government has asked Elections BC to look more thoroughly into electronic voting. While this makes a great deal of sense, given how much business can be easily transacted on computers, it is important not to jump into the deep end. We say: There This is because voting is a privilege in a democratic society, or at least needs to be to be treated as such. Many safeguards put in needs people in various parts of thje world place do not have the opportunity to vote. In many cases when they do, the system is rigged. It would be foolish to think that our system cannot be rigged. Political parties and their

most avid supporters know no bounds when it comes to trying to work the system to their advantage. When there are opprtuinities to stack a vote, they will do so if there is little fear of consequences. Take a look at recent one-member, one-vote leadership selections by both the NDP and the BC Liberals. In the case of the NDP, eventual winner Adrian Dix’s campaign flooded the office of the provincial party with last-minute member signups, in most cases without attached payment. The payments were then attached to the membership forms at the office, in contravantion of party rules, but there was no enforcement of the rule. In the case of the Liberals, PIN numbers provided

to party members so they could vote online or by telephone did not all arrive on time. There were delays for some members in being able to vote, and undoubtedly some members did not get the chance to cast a ballot because of the mix-up. If there is to be online voting, everyone must have the ability to vote. Security needs to be paramount. One of the great advantages of the current system is that people must show up in person to vote. Thus they need to be able to prove who they are, and it is very difficult to vote more than once. Online voting should be examined as a possible tool, but it should only be put in place if there more safeguards than there are currently. – Black Press

Letters

Hey, Cortez Road pilferer This is an open letter to the person who rummaged through our family car in our driveway on Cortez Road on Saturday night. Dear sir or madam, You obviously spent a lot of time going through every single thing in our car. I hope you liked the kids’ books and toys, and I hope the dog poop bags didn’t get too much in your way. Did you take some extra time to read “Go Dog, Go?” That’s one of my favourites. As you will have no doubt discovered, we are a family with young kids. We don’t have anything valuable. Sorry about that. It’s just what happens when you grow up, get a job, get married and have kids. Take my advice. Do what I did when I was your age. Get a summer job. You’ll never have more disposable income than when you’re young, living at home, have no bills to pay and have a full-time job. Do that and you’ll have lots of money to spend on whatever you want. Also, girls like guys with money. You won’t have to rummage through strangers’ famiContinued on A9

B.C. liquor laws are finally proving effective

Tom Fletcher B.C. Views

Here’s a summer scene being played out all over North America. Family van pulls up to the corner store to stock up on a few camping essentials: pop, chips, hot dogs, a case of beer and a bottle of vodka. Not in B.C. you say? It happens every day at rural agency liquor stores around the province. As with many other issues, there is one reality for urban B.C. and another for the rest of us. Selling booze in grocery stores would presumably create anarchy in B.C cities and towns, but villagers and their visitors somehow manage it, just as everyone does across the line in Washington or Alaska. These rural agency stores are “fly-

speck operators,” sniffs an acquaintance who spent his career as a union activist in government liquor stores. Picture dusty old bottles on a rickety shelf, greedy owners and poorly trained clerks more likely to sell to under-age drinkers. Similar generalizations can be heard about the hundreds of private liquor stores that have popped up around B.C. since they were legalized. And in fact there have been more violations in private stores, revealed in sting operations run by liquor inspectors. In the year ended March 31, 54 private stores were caught selling to a minor, for an 84 per cent compliance rate. Only four government stores were caught, a

pass rate of 96 per cent. Five rural agency stores were tested, and one flunked. But here is the telling statistic. In 2010, the government allowed liquor inspectors to employ actual minors to test stores. Previously, they hired people who looked young but were old enough to buy alcohol. As late as 2009, two out of three stores (government or otherwise) sold to them. Problem is, that’s not an actual offence. Now liquor inspectors send in undercover teens, and relieve them of the evidence when they are allowed to buy booze. The watchdog now has teeth, and compliance has jumped. The government glossed over the poorer performance of private stores.

But in fairness, three times as many private stores as government ones were targeted in the new inspections, and the gap is narrow. Government stores also have a huge built-in financial advantage in their wholesale rate, and are generally overstaffed by private sector standards. The B.C. Liberals also moved this spring to make rural agency stores easier to establish. Regulation changes brought the minimum population served from 300 down to 200, and eliminated a vague requirement for a “bona fide community” to exist around the store. Meanwhile, the big booze story this year is cabinet minister Rich Continued on A9

Proud of yourself? ter, if you see anyone using a Zippo lighter emblazoned with this crest – an armoured fist surrounded by four arrows – the person who has it, got it by furtively rummaging through a bunch of kids toys, garbage and baby wipes in the middle of the night. Nothing to be proud of. And if you see someone using it, ask him if he enjoyed the “Peek-aBoo Kitten” book. Grant Warkentin Campbell River

Effective immediately, BC Hydro has closed public access to the Campbell River beside the John Hart Generating Station due to a dangerous tree hazard within the river. With the high river flows we experienced last week, the tree in the river has moved yet again with the base of the tree swinging out into the river channel. BC Hydro has been monitoring the situation since the tree fell into the river in March from the wind storm. We have been in contact with Destiny River Adventures, BC Parks, and Fisheries and Oceans Canada. BC Hydro asks the public to access the river below the tree hazard. Should the tree be dislodged, public river access from our property will be restored. Signs will be placed in the John Hart parking lot and on the river access gate. The only river access that will be provided from our property is to Destiny River Adventures. Kohle Silverton, BC Hydro

Fletcher: Job is to regulate sales effectively Continued from A1

Coleman’s plan to sell B.C.’s warehouse and distribution monopoly to a private contractor. The B.C. Government E m p l oye e s ’ U n i o n has protested, despite assurances that their jobs will continue. B.C.’s burgeoning

craft beer industry has looked to Alberta’s allprivate model and predicts higher costs. The B.C. Liberal government has been on the defensive from the start, with the NDP pointing to the paper trail of lobbyists with an apparent inside track.

It’s great politics, but it matters little to consumers in an increasingly competitive but heavily taxed business. Another new regulation took effect this summer, creating a $525 fine for adults serving minors, on the job, at home or as a

bootlegger. Parents who provide booze for their own under-age children are exempted. Previously, penalties applied only to licensed establishments. If the issue really is public safety and teen binge drinking, the key job for government is

to regulate sales effectively. Once that is done, no justification remains for government liquor sales.

TAURUS

SCORPIO

You might be tempted to buy yourself a new car. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also spend a lot of time negotiating all sorts of things or listening to endless speeches.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good chance that you could receive some training that will earn you an important promotion at work. Your new position will be more in line with your personal values.

GEMINI Whether the back-toschool season is pertinent to you or not, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll still want to treat yourself and renew your wardrobe. This will give your self-esteem a boost.

CANCER This week you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like listening to the advice of others. Trust that your intuition will guide you in the right direction.

LEO

VIRGO Choosing to stay busy socially this week might cost you more than you were expecting. Crunch some numbers and switch to some less costly activities.

If you werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to beneďŹ t from a relaxing and enriching vacation this summer, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll at least plan on taking a break that will allow you to socialize and recharge your batteries.

CAPRICORN You will tend to want to please everyone, even as you know it is impossible to do so. Try and follow your heart and you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go wrong.

AQUARIUS Be sure to check the â&#x20AC;&#x153;best beforeâ&#x20AC;? dates on food you eat. At work, you will have to reach an agreement with people who are out of the country or who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak English very well.

PISCES Even though youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re normally a fairly reserved person, you will ďŹ nd yourself in the spotlight for one reason or another. This will make you very successful at work.

Dan Clements Campbell River

The following is a letter written to the city, filed for publication in the Mirror.

I a m ve r y c o n cer ned after reading the article in the local newspaper about the city considering taking the memorial benches back from the people who purchased them...for the purpose of leasing them to new people. The bench our family purchased in Jerry Mergaert’s name has very special meaning to us. This is where we go on any given day to feel close to him... whether we are happy or sad or just miss him. M y g r a n d ch i l d re n have played there and my daughter and

son have shared many memories sitting on the bench. We never miss visiting him on the anniversary of his death and such occasions as birthdays, Father’s Day, Christmas, Easter, etc. Everyday that one of us drives by and sees an elderly person resting or a child playing or a parent, runner, etc sitting on the bench, we know that Jerry would be so happy to have them stop and enjoy the beauty and serenity. So now you have run out of room for more benches...I see many places left in Campbell River. Could there be too many benches? If so, move on to new ideas. If the cost has

gone up, lease the new ones or charge more! Taking the benches back could be very devastating to loved ones... and is no different than taking the Tidemark memorial chairs back or removing any memorial for that matter. To us, this is Jerry’s tombstone and at the time we purchased it we were led to believe that it would always be there. Please think long and hard before you make such a insensitive decision.

Your paper’s publishing 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.

The Island’s Favourite Tackle

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 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 lovers of nature and the environment and the impact of our sport

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 p a rk s f o r h i k i n g trails. The trail standards are designed to build sustainable trails that cause minimal impact to environment.

Seventh annual Boat Rodeo takes to the high seas The Maritime Heritage Centre’s seventh annual Discovery Passage Boat Rodeo takes place Sunday, Aug. 26, at Robert Ostler Park. The fun starts at 11 a.m. and runs until 4 p.m., with a wide variety of events and displays that will interest everyone in the family and, as always, it’s totally free to attend. Watch as two-person teams of intrepid boat builders attempt to construct a boat in under four hours from materials costing no more than $90, then paddling it in a race around a set course, changing positions in the boat at the halfway mark, and trying not to sink into the Passage. This year, six or more teams have signed on to test their skills in the Build, Bail and Paddle and this is shaping up to be a great spectator event. Boat construction starts at 10:30 a.m., with the Big Race taking place at 2 p.m. The Blind Rowboat Races are great fun too - two people in the boat, the rower is blindfolded, the other person gives directions to the rower to (hopefully) navigate the course. Sounds easy, but it never seems to work out that way. If you think you’re up to it, you can sign up before the event and give it a try. The action starts at 1:30 p.m. The Loyal Nanaimo Bathtub Society will be there once again, racing in an officially sanctioned World Championship event. This year the course will be set up so the

Heritage Society will be selling soft drinks as well. Dan Teloski, chair of the event, says there may be some other surprises as well. In the past, tug boats, coastal transport craft, fish farming transports, the RCMP boat and others have been on hand for people to tour. As these are all working boats, if there’s work for them to do, they won’t be available - but he’s got his fingers crossed. On air personalities from 99.7 The River will be on hand looking after emcee duties, and promise to keep the enter tainment factor and the energy level high.

Lights, camera, action on Vancouver Island More than 300 million viewers will see the beauty of British Columbia and experience a little ‘Island Time’ as huge Korean and Chinese film projects hit Vancouver Island this summer. Tourism Vancouver Island has been extremely busy working with the Canadian Tourism Commission and Tourism British Columbia on two large film projects. A Korean crew is the first and largest crew to arrive this month. XTM is one of the most popular cable channels in Korea and the launch of their latest project is a new TV reality travel show called ‘Adrenaline’ which will highlight various businesses and locations throughout Vancouver Island. The show focuses on four male celebrities experiencing fun and adventurous travel in Whistler and on Vancouver Island. The Korean cast and crew of 30 will be taking in some great

adventures at Horne Lake Caves by testing their mettle with caving, rappelling, and rock climbing as well as challenging their agility with water sports. This large cast and crew will also be making a stop at the Old Country Market in Coombs with the famous goats on the roof to check out the goats, great food and tourist attractions. The crew then heads south to the Chemainus murals and on to Victoria for more outdoor adventures. The new travel show will air in September and has an estimated advertising/ PR value of over $1.8 million. Vancouver Island also welcomes China’s premier TV Travel Channel and National Geographic Traveler Magazine with ‘Canada, You Can Be A Star’. The promotion is a joint venture with the Canadian Tourism Commission and Tourism British Columbia working in partnership with destination

marketing organizations like Tourism Vancouver Island to showcase ‘Signature Experiences’. Over 5,058 couples uploaded images and videos through the Canadian Tourism Commission’s Keep Exploring website which generated over 200,000 visits. The project involved narrowing the contestants to five Chinese couples who will travel across Canada. T he five couples will experience hands on classic Canadian activities showcasing many businesses and locations. The winning couple to experience Vancouver Island will try their hands at creating a master-piece sand sculpture at Parksville’s Beach Festival, learn how much fun it is to work on a farm at Little Qualicum Cheeseworks, experience the wonders in Tofino with whale watching, paddle a dug out First Nations canoe, test their balance surfing, travel to Victoria for kayaking adventures,

experience the Capital city scene, learn the process behind making apple cider and see how the Seaweed Lady creates amazing organic seaweed spa products that are sold around the world. The Travel Channel in China has a viewing audience of more than 300 million people which will provide extensive exposure for Canada. “This is a g reat example of how Tourism Vancouver Island works with the national and provincial destination marketing organizations and the tourism businesses within the region to grow the economic benefits derived from tourism,” says Dave Petryk, President & CEO of Tourism Vancouver Island. “The impact of unsolicited media attention has a great deal of value in influencing travellers’ decisions to choose our destination.” The two film projects will highlight the pristine coastlines, lush emerald forests, sparkling wave-swept

beaches, stunning properties, delicious culinary fare and friendly people. The advertising/PR value of these projects is in excess of $20 million. Vancouver Island continues to be recognized as a premier vacation destination. In 2012, Travel + Leisure magazine readers voted Vancouver Island as the Number One Island in the Continental US and Canada, and has been among the top three islands since 2001. In 2011 Condé Nast T r ave l e r Re a d e r s ’ Choice awarded Vancouver Island as #1 Island in Canada. From 2000-2008, Vancouver Island was rated as the Best Island in North America by the readers of Condé Nast Traveler and continues to be ranked among the top three.

DEATHS

Elizabeth Susan (Sue) Berger October 12, 1920 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; July 29, 2012

Sue passed away at New Horizons Care Centre in Campbell River after a lengthy illness. She was born in Nanton, Alberta to Anne and W.J. (Billy) Greig. Sue spent most of her childhood on the Greig farm west of Nanton. At age nineteen, Sue married Gordon Cecil Berger of Champion, Alberta on May 19, 1940. Then it was an adventurous life for both of them. While raising their family they moved from Alberta to the Queen Charlotte Islands, to Jericho Beach, Burnaby, Surrey and finally landed in Campbell River in 1962. All along her destinations, Sue left a long list of close friends. Sue never seemed to stop; she had high energy and a delight in positive living. She enjoyed people and was interested in them, and in their welfare, and she helped many in her quiet way. She hosted people from all over the world. She held house parties, card parties, birthday parties, Christmas parties...it was always an enjoyment of life and work. Her door was always open to everyone. She will be sadly missed but has left us all with a legacy of friendship and wonderful memories. Sue was predeceased by her parents, her brothers John and Tom, her husband Gordon and her daughter Sharon. Surviving Sue is Sharon's son, Paul McDonald and his son Xzander; daughter Marlene (Harlen) Pearson; son R.D. (Shara) and their son Nathan (Min Yeong); sister-in-law, Jean; nieces Marianne and Brenda; nephews Van and Jan. There is a memorial service planned for September 15, 2012 at 1:00 pm at Coast Dicovery Inn, Quadra Room.

Ravens don’t have to go to London to win gold AL MCLEAN SPECIAL TO THE MIRROR

The Windsor Plywood Bantam C Ravens travelled to Burnaby for the 2012 BC Provincial Championships July 26 to 29 and brought home the gold medal. It was refreshing to start the provincial round-robin games against a brand-new opponent…Langley. The Ravens began the Friday morning game a bit tentative as this was the first time most players were on a true hardwood floor instead of concrete. Some preferred the better traction/adhesion while others lamented the way the ball changed direction as it hit a seam or edge. Captain Nolan Morrison led the way with a strong effort and was quickly supported by assistant captains Nolan Fair, Zach Lontayao and the entire team. Gavin Hope picked the perfect time to score his first goal of the season with a wicked shot that the goalie had no chance to

save. Strong defensive efforts by Kodie Borton, Andy Hunt, Nick Kool and David Lavigne proved that the Ravens were not to be denied as they opened the round robin games with a 9-2 victory. Game MVP as selected by opposing coaches was Nolan Fair. Game 2 The buzz in the concourse concer ning the Ravens’ afternoon opponent, Bur naby, was that they had only lost a couple of games all season. Head coach Todd Fair, along with assistant coaches Ken Doney and Jeff Lontayao, kept the players’ minds on task using pre-game visualization routines. “Focus on what you want to accomplish in this game. Remember what got you here. See your efforts contributing to the teams’ succes,” the layers were told. Those phrases and several variations were emphasized in a low key but very effective manner. The Ravens put their good inten-

Windsor Plywood Ravens are the provincial Bantam C champions.

tions into actions on the floor; supporting the ball and finding ways to help teammates succeed whether it was by setting a pick at the right time or being first on a loose ball. Reilly Doney, Cole Gent and Max Nelson led the team defence. Burnaby didn’t stand a chance against this team effort. Final score was 9-3 for the Ravens with Ross Rickman earning

Game MVP award for his hard work and two goals in this game. Game 3 Saturday mor ning had the Ravens completing round-robin play against Kelowna. Since the division was broken into two pools of four teams each, winning two of the three round robin games guaranteed the Ravens a berth in the semi-finals. Unlike Olympic

badminton players, the Ravens wanted to win their round robin game to finish first in their pool and play the second place team from the other pool. The local scouts didn’t know much about Kelowna other than they were almost a “throw-together” team that seemed to be on a roll. They had only allowed one goal in their first two games so the Ravens knew

they would be facing a strong goalie and great defensive team. This game was one that exemplified good ol’ fashioned hardwork and commitment to team. Both teams were tenacious in their defending. Kelowna had a couple of larger battleship-size players but the Ravens’ destroyers – Ian Hall, Connor Ludvigson, Jasper Osterhout-Code, Riley Wellman and others – were completely unfazed as they controlled their opponent into the boards and removed the ball from their basket. If the attacker did get his stick free, goalie Wi l l M c L e a n w a s ready to make the first and even second saves. The final score was 7-5 for the Ravens as they went undefeated to earn first place in their pool to set up a semifinal game against Peninsula later Saturday night. McLean received Game MVP honours for his efforts in net. During the tournament player and team

recognition ceremonies at the end of the round robin, Morrison was selected as a division all-star and Wellman received a Fair Play award. Semi-final If the earlier game against Kelowna was a hard-fought game for the purists who love the sport, boxing fans may think of Ali against Foreman, the Saturday night semifinal game was just a battle along the lines of Ali versus Frazier. T h e R ave n s h a d beaten Peninsula two weeks earlier while winning the Vancouver Island regular season banner and it was easy to see that did not sit well with Peninsula. The game started with Peninsula taking an early lead and extending it to 2-0. The Ravens seemed to draw energy from the cheering from their supporters as they came back and took the lead into the third period. At this point, Peninsula seemed to focus more on playing the Continued on A31

Fair earns rare MVP hat-trick Continued from A30

man re gardless of where the ball was or what the rule book said. One potentially late double-team hit near the Ravens bench seemed to be the straw that broke the camel’s back. The best response to something like that is to score goals on the power play but since none were forthcoming, the Ravens settled for running the clock out. Two sets of coincidental penalties provided even more open space on the floor. Emotions were truly running high as the Ravens punched their ticket to the gold medal game, beating Peninsula by a final score of 6-4. \Fair received his second Game MVP award of the tournament. The Final Some may call it the fickle finger of fate

or the good karma of sports but there were mysterious forces guiding events at this tournament as Kelowna beat Cranbrook 11-8 in their semi-final game to setup a rematch against the Ravens for all the marbles. Both teams seemed a little tense for the early Sunday morning game as one may expect. Kelowna tried to use their size to wear down the Ravens but this flock hangs together like no other. They kept running the floor, forcing Kelowna to go back and play defence which took a toll on the Okanagan team. As in the first game, spirited but clean play was the order of the day as each side strove to gain an advantage. The Ravens were trailing 4-5 with about six minutes left in the third period when the complexion of the game

changed. They had worked the ball to the heart of “the house” and Liam Rivett was able to put the biscuit in the basket behind the Kelowna goalie for the tying goal. Unfortunately, the goalie suffered a serious hip injury on the play. After several minutes of assessment from training staff, he required assistance from the floor. It was at this time that the Kelowna coaches and players personified and exemplified the true meaning of team spirit. As they huddled to discuss their options, a young man who had scored three of their five goals in this game and been an offensive threat in both games, offered to take over for the injured player. Following an extended time-out to allow for the equipment swap and a

brief warm-up, play resumed. The Ravens immediately tested the new goalie only to find him as quick as his predecessor and with good ball-handling skills. Kelowna was feeding off of this positive energy and launched several counterattacks. The Ravens withstood these as McLean made a few key saves to keep the score tied. After one flurry in the Raven zone, Lontayao got the ball and spotted Fair breaking down the floor. He lobbed a pass over the Kelowna defenders that Fair ran under and caught in full stride. He went in on goal, seemingly determined to put this one in…and he did. Pandemonium broke out at the Ravens bench but they couldn’t celebrate with a team flyby as Kelowna immediately lined up for a

face-off. Kelowna kept trying to score a gametying goal but they were thwarted by the Ravens team defence. As the buzzer went, the final score was 6-5 for the 2012 Bantam C gold medal winners… the Windsor Plywood Ravens. Prior to the awarding of the trophy and championship banner, Fair was informed that he completed a rare Game MVP hat-trick and earned Tournament Divisional MVP honours as well. Cong ratulations to all of the Raven players including those who were injured or otherwise unable to attend the provincials: Owen Boyd, Dawson Brown, Thomas Dunn, Daniel Gilson, Brad Kennedy and Justin Kennelly. Each of them had many contributions to the team’s successes this season.
