Dry cleaners back at it after fire
More books needed for Rotary sale after donations burn up Paul Rudan Campbell RiveR
“We can use the business and we can sure use some hugs,” says Brenda Harris. Harris and her husband Rob are the owners of White Hat Drycleaners and Commercial Laundry located at 601-11th Avenue. Shortly after midnight on June 22, fire broke out in their dry cleaning shop. Campbell River firefighters were quickly on scene, but flames spread fast, devastating the only dry cleaning business located on upper Vancouver Island. However, within days of the fire, White Hat was back in business with a temporary storefront located in the next door plaza on 11th Avenue between Sure Copy Centre and Merle Norman. Harris says they are receiving the help and support of other dry cleaning businesses located on southern Vancouver Island and work is underway to rebuild the burned-out shop which is expected to re-open in September. “Dry cleaning is going up and down the Island every day,” says Harris, who urges any customer who lost an item in the fire to come by the new store to file a claim. The Harrises not only lost their business in the fire, it also consumed many personal family items, including all the donated books they had collected for the first annual Rotary Club Book Sale. Rob Harris had collected three pallets of used books for the sale to take place on Sept. 7, at the downtown Community Hall. But they all burned in the fire and now he’s hoping the public can come through with more. The Campbell River Mirror is sponsoring the Rotary Book Sale. Used books can be dropped off at the paper’s office at 104-250 Dogwood St., or these other supporting businesses: McDonald’s, Work World, Outdoor Addictions, Thrifty Foods, Discovery Foods, Save on Foods and Quality Foods. The second round of collections got off to a great start thanks to Holly Gordon, owner of Willow Point Used Books. She generously donated several thousand books to kick-start the collection process.

Fast facts: n The Musical Ride was developed from a desire by early members of the North-West Mounted Police to display their riding ability and entertain both themselves and the local community. Many had a British military background, so it was inevitable that the series of figures they performed were traditional cavalry drill movements. n Legend has it that the first Musical Ride was performed as early as 1876, the first officially recorded Musical Ride was performed in Regina under Inspector William George Matthews in 1887. n Today’s members of the Musical Ride are, first and foremost, police officers who, after at least two years of active police work, volunteer for duty with the Musical Ride. They are able to stay with the team for up to three years.

If the city were to maintain the current level of services it provides to citizens, the tax rate would have to increase by 24 per cent in order to make up the $3.6 million. The loss of $1.8 million from Catalyst alone, equates to a 12 per cent residential tax increase. To put that into perspective, Ciarniello said a one per cent residential tax increase would bring in $150,000 in revenue for the city. That one per cent increase would mean roughly $12 more per year in property taxes for the average homeowner. The city’s operating budget is approximately $37 million which Continued on A3

Grant means suspension bridge a go Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR

onstruction on a muchanticipated suspension bridge overlooking Elk Falls should begin this summer, according to the project chair. Lorrie Bewza, the Elk Falls suspension bridge project chair, said $325,000 worth of funding recently received from Island Coastal Economic Trust (ICET) was the key piece Rotary needed to get its project off the paper and into the ground. “The members of the Rotary Club of Campbell River are very excited to have the grant from Island Coastal Economic Trust approved,” Bewza said Monday. “In approving this grant, ICET ensures the Elk Falls Suspension Bridge project will be completed and have a long-term economic impact on tourism to Campbell River and region. We now have all the funds committed to start working on the Elk Falls suspension bridge.” Bewza said Rotary hopes to begin some of the work on the bridge and new viewing platforms within the next couple of months. Bewza figures that once it’s designed, it should take about six to eight weeks to build. The design process is the last major piece of the puzzle holding up construction, but that should fall into place soon. “We need to complete an agreement with BC Parks as to how we are going to construct the bridge, viewing platforms and connecting trails within Elk Falls provincial park,” Bewza said. “Once that agreement is signed, we can start the
archaeological, environmental and geo-technical studies which will allow us to prepare a request for proposals to send to prospective builders. We have had excellent support from BC Parks and BC Hydro working toward the completion of the Elk Falls suspension bridge project and hope to begin some of the work this summer.” The suspension bridge is expected to be 90 metres long and 72 metres above the bottom of Elk Falls canyon (just below the waterfall), making it the highest pedestrian only suspension bridge in Canada. Access to the bridge would be from the Millennium Trail which runs from the existing Elk Falls parking lot to the John Hart Generating Station. The project not only involves a suspension bridge, but two new viewing platforms – one which would be accessed from the lower parking lot and a second off the Millennium Trail. A brand-new trail would branch off the Millennium Trail and descend 10-12 metres down to the second new viewing platform, providing a direct, full-on view of the falls. According to ICET, the overall project will also include an improved access road, expanded parking designed to accommodate tour buses and public washroom facilities, which will be constructed by BC Hydro in co-operation with BC Parks. The entire project is estimated to cost $550,000 with the bridge making up $300,000 of the budget. The project is expected to be funded as follows: Rotary ($75,000), BC Hydro ($150,000), and ICET ($325,000).

Phone scams on upswing
TELUS is warning Canadians about a surge in a common phone scam. TELUS is working to protect its customers from the fraudulent phone calls, which are affecting wireless and landline customers including businesses, primarily in B.C. and Alberta. The latest scam involves ‘spoofing’, where a fraudster re-programs the caller ID signal to make it appear they are calling from a legitimate business, claiming to represent that organization. When someone picks up the scam call, the imposter on the other end of the line claims to be TELUS or another organization, saying the person they called has won a prize. Other variants of the scam ask you to press 1 to receive a prize. The imposter will then try to convince the person they’ve called to hand over personal information and credit card numbers in order to collect the alleged prize. This can result in unauthorized charges to a credit card or identity theft. The calls are fraudulent. Consumers should never enter their credit card information when prompted to by an unknown caller or automated call. TELUS recommends customers simply hang up if they receive a call.

The city is considering sweetening the pot even further for developers who choose to build in the downtown core. Currently, developments within what’s identified as a special commercial area are eligible for a commercial tax exemption of 50 per cent on building improvements for three years. City staff are recommending council increase that to 100 per cent for five years to encourage downtown revitalization. “It is believed that incre asing t he t ax exemption incentive will further promote additional development in the city core,” said Kevin Brooks, the city’s senior planner, in a report to council. Brooks also noted that the city’s current exemption process has been confusing and needs some clarity. “Two downtown tax exemptions have been granted,” Brooks said. “Through the administration of these applications, staff has learned that the process can be confusing and may deter prospective developers from utilizing this incentive program.” To clear things up, text has been added to clearly outline the submission requirements and processes for the tax exemption which was adopted by council in October,

Seymour Pacific’s new headquarters is one project that has come online since the city offered a 50 per cent tax-exempt zone.
2009. In January, 2012 council made a change to the bylaw to create a special commercial area which runs from St. Ann’s to the south, Highway 19A to the east, 11th Avenue to the north and Cedar Street connecting to Alder to the west. One significant project – Seymour Pacific’s new headquarters building – has been proposed in the area since it was created. City staff are recommending council adopt the new incentives to encourage more downtown growth. Under the proposed bylaw amendments, Brooks said “any new multi-family or commercial development within the special improvement area will increase the tax incentive from 50 per cent exemption for a threeyear period to a 100 per
cent exemption for a five year period.” A LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum or Gold-rated building in the special commercial area would be eligible for a seven year exemption. Developments eligible for the new incentives would be: new and redeveloped multi-family (apartments) complexes, and new or re-developed commercial (office, retail).
To give an example of how the tax incentive works, imagine a building worth $200,000 is renovated which increases the value of the building to $3 million. Under the current incentive program, the building would receive a tax exemption worth $17.4 million over three years. With the new, proposed incentive, that break would jump to $34.8 million for five years. Brooks recommended
council move forward with changes to the incentive program. “Adoption of this revision will further assist staff in focusing strategic capital improvements in the near term, with the greatest chance of stimulating downtown revitalization,” Brooks said. Council was expected to consider the new incentive program at Tuesday’s council meeting after the Mirror went to press.
It’s rare, but sometimes the public can profit from a drug dealer. That was the case last Friday in Campbell River provincial court when convicted dealer Cuong Luong forfeited $15,000 in bail money to the Crown. “Mr. Luong simply chose to breach the conditions of his bail,” said Judge Ted Gouge. Luong, 51, is presently serving an 18-month jail sentence for two drug trafficking convictions. He was first arrested in May 2012, but was released on bail conditions. While on bail, Campbell River RCMP began investigating Luong again for trafficking. During raids in the city on March 13, Luong was arrested after police seized heroin, cocaine, crack cocaine and more than $42,000 in cash. Nhi Ngo, 41, was also arrested in the same raids and she is presently awaiting trial on a single count of trafficking. Following his second arrest, Luong was detained in custody and wound up pleading guilty to two counts of trafficking. He was given six months jail for the first offence and a year for the second. However, federal Crown prosecutor Paul Corbett didn’t stop there. On Friday he asked the judge to forfeit the entirety of Luong’s $15,000 in bail from the first offence. Defence lawyer Doug Marion suggested $8,000 was enough, but Judge Gouge said Luong’s decision to continue dealing was a betrayal of trust. He added that trafficking narcotics is a danger to the public not only because of the drugs, but because of the high potential for violence.

Teachers: 10-year deal unfair Government would have all the cards, CRDTF says Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR
Following on the heels of School District 72’s opposition to 10-year contracts for teachers, the local teachers’ association says a decade long deal between B.C. educators and their employer will never work. Elaine Thompson, president of the Campbell River District Teachers’ Association, said there is not a lot of support for the B.C. government’s push for a 10-year deal which Premier Christy Clark pledged to implement during her most recent election campaign. “All teachers that I have spoken to, as well as others in the education system, are opposed to a 10-year contract,” Thompson said. The board of education sent a letter to Education Minister Peter Fassbender opposing the changes. “A very strong turnout of teachers of Campbell River voted 99 per cent in favour of supporting our provincial bargaining team and opposing any government interference in the collective bargaining process,” Thompson said.
BECOME A CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR 1X5 CARRIER
The B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) had been quietly negotiating with its employer, the BC Public School Employers’ Association on a two-tothree year deal up until the May provincial election. But in the lead up to the election, Clark promised labour peace in classrooms for 10 years and previous negotiations were halted. Thompson said Clark’s proposal won’t work for teachers. “It proposes teachers give up our hard-won rights to bargain class size and composition,” Thompson said. “The framework would take away our newly regained right and silence teachers’ demands for smaller class sizes, support for special needs students, and resources for classrooms. “The premier’s plan would put these important issues over to a policy table, which is no way to guarantee quality learning conditions.” The policy council that would be tasked with handling those issues would consist of representatives from the union, schools boards and government. C l a r k s’ p r o p o s a l includes having salary increases for teachers linked to agreements in other major public sector unions. Clark noted that if teachers had agreed to that deal 10 years ago, they would be making more money today because teachers earn less than the average
settlement for the public sector. Thompson disagreed teachers would benefit. “This is fundamentally unfair because under such a scheme government has all the cards,” she said. “The average of net zero is zero. The economic welfare of our members would be in the hands of other unions and government, and there would never be any opportunity to improve our salaries. B.C. teachers’ salaries are lagging far behind those of other teachers in Canada, and the gap will only widen under this proposal.” Thompson said the proposal would also lock teachers into contracts that couldn’t be updated for 10 years. “The proposal would essentially freeze our collective agreements for a decade,” Thompson sad. “There would be no improvements in benefits, preparation time or any other terms or conditions of work, nor would there be any opportunity to address emergent issues in technology, the economy, or labour markets during the 10-year term.” Thompson would like to see a deal in which conditions for teachers are improved. She noted that B.C. has the worst student to educator ratio in the country, according to the latest data from Statistics Canada. “In order to bring B.C.’s teacher staffing levels just up to the national aver-

age, the province would have to hire an astounding 6,600 more teachers,” Thompson said. “Over the past 12 years, severe underfunding has taken a toll on our schools and our student’s learning conditions. At present, per-student funding in B.C. is $1,000 below the national average. We need to see a plan to begin to reinvest in B.C. kids, for their future opportunities and for the social and economic well-being of our province. T h e m o st re c e nt teacher contract expired on June 30. Minister Fassbender appointed mediator Peter Cameron to contract negotiations last month. Fassbender said that w h i l e n e g ot i at i on s between the BCTF and the BC Public School Employers’ Association were suspended by government, the progress made will not be lost. “I want to assure all partners that while we have asked for a pause in bargaining, it is not the end of bargaining. We are not walking away from the table, we are walking toward it,” Fassbender said in a media release. “The work that has been done to date will not be lost. In fact, we want to build on it. These are necessary steps given we have accepted the BCTF’s long-held desire to bargain directly with government on provincial matters. “We want to keep moving forward.”

It’s a bad idea to be holding stolen goods – even worse when you attempt to fence them on Facebook. That’s what Richard Landry learned Monday when he received a 16-month jail sentence for a variety of offences. “You’ve been a busy boy, so to speak,” said Judge Roderick Sutton. Landry, 29, was facing more than a dozen charges, mostly stemming from a drug-fuelled crime spree that began on Dec. 14, 2012, and concluded with his arrest on Feb. 7. He’s been in custody since his arrest. On Monday, following extensive talks between Crown and defence lawyers, Landry entered into a plea agreement that was accepted by the judge. Landry pleaded guilty to four counts of possession of stolen property under $5,000, resisting arrest, and break and enter. The residential B&E occurred in May 2011. In that case, Landry made off with a laptop computer, video games, tools and two iPods. The items were never recovered, but RCMP investigators did find a fingerprint on a high-up window that was matched to Landry’s prints. He wasn’t caught then, but his name resurfaced shortly before Christmas as police investigated a number of residential break-ins and thefts. Some of the stolen property, particularly jewellry, was showing up at a local pawn shop. On Jan. 25, police were conduct-

ing surveillance when they spotted Landry on 13th Avenue. Landry was ordered to stop, but ran into the nearby bush. A police dog failed to follow his track. However, about two weeks later, Mounties discovered that Landry was trying to sell a relatively new snowboard on his personal Facebook page. It turned out the snowboard had been a Christmas present for a 16-year-old boy, but was stolen from the family’s residence. On Feb. 7, a plainclothes officer called Landry and arranged to see the snowboard and that’s what led to his arrest. Landry initially pleaded not guilty to some of the offences, but changed his pleas on Monday. More charges of break and enter, assaulting a police officer, obstruction and possession of stolen property were dropped by Crown prosecutor Adrienne Venturini in exchange for the guilty pleas. The court heard that Landry was born and raised in Campbell River, but then spent some time in Calgary before returning to Vancouver Island. That’s when he became addicted to crack cocaine. Landry did admit to taking part in one residential break and enter, but denied taking part in the others. According to his legal counsel, Landry was a middle man who fenced stolen goods. In addition to the 16 months new jail time, Landry will also be on probation for 16 months following his release.

Laws reduce road deaths Often we hear people complaining about the justice system, how our laws are ineffective, lax or cumbersome. Often they are right. But sometimes a law comes along We say: B.C.’s that really creates substantial change drinking driving in society, and rightfully deserves recognition for helping to protect legislation is citizens of all stripes. having an effect Such is the case with B.C.’s drinking and driving legislation, which is among the toughest in the country. Statistics on the first 30 months of the province’s
immediate roadside prohibition program indicate the drinking and driving death toll has been cut in half. That equates to 143 lives saved. Think of the ripple effects —that’s 143 families that have not been ripped apart by tragedy. That’s 286 parents who have not lost their son or daughter. That’s countless family and friends who are not in mourning. That’s 143 fewer impaired drivers that must wind their way, at taxpayers’ expense, through the justice system. Not only has the B.C. program proven successful in
their province, results like these are making it harder for other jurisdictions to ignore. It’s pretty hard to reject a policy that has kept 143 additional people alive. Other Canadian provinces are now looking at similar laws, and would, hopefully, also see their impaired driving fatality rates cut in half. This confirms that more British Columbians are taking the law seriously and ensuring they are sober when behind the wheel. That’s real justice. – Black Press

Glass recycling update
Following up on the glass recycling program, or lack there of, I received an answer from Mayor Jakeway. He also expressed his frustration with the Comox Strathcona Waste Management [CSWVM], as far as the direction they are taking. I also received an e-mail from the Sustainability Manager at City Hall. Apparently there is not currently a viable option for non-beverage container glass recycling on Vancouver Island. Municipalities in the lower mainland are currently shipping their glass to the U.S. There is no longer a processing plant in B.C. It was also suggested that I should watch a video:www. csvm.ca/glass. I did watch the video. The police constable in the video says the enforcement problems at the recycle centers are minor. The fact that there seems to be people fighting over our glass products brings up all kinds of other discussions for the future. I reminded the sender of the e-mail of a time I remember and countries I have visited with no recycle programs at all. The mess is deplorable. Maybe as consumers we need to be more wary of our purchases, especially if they are contained by glass. On a positive note, according to City Hall, in the spring of 2014, Multi-material BC and Encorp are looking to start collection of household glass. I suggested then “ why not keep the existing facilities open until then?” Who knew this would be so complicated, when all we recyclers are trying to do is the right thing? Dale Bradley Campbell River
Get ready for BC Hydro rate hikes
Tom Fletcher B.C. Views
There’s a new sheriff in town for BC Hydro, and it didn’t take long for the political range war to resume. The new sheriff, Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett, found himself on the barricades as soon as he got the hugely complex responsibility for energy and mines. His saddlebags bulge with reports on BC Hydro’s seemingly runaway costs, along with Premier Christy Clark’s “core review” to cut $50 million a year from government operations. NDP energy critic John Horgan highlighted the latest BC Hydro troubles in his assault on the B.C. Liberal budget. First there was a $140 million cost overrun on the Northwest Transmission Line, under construction north from Terrace to the tiny Tahltan village of
Iskut and adjacent mine properties. Then BC Hydro revealed results of an audit of its earthquake preparedness. “Condition red” was the key message. Basically, the sprawling utility has disaster plans for each of its dams or other power facilities, but no overall way to get the provincial power grid back up after a major earthquake. Horgan recited his list of BC Hydro sins after a decade of meddling by the BC Liberals: huge deferred debt revealed by the Auditor General, enormous liabilities for private power contracts, and more rate increases that Bennett has already admitted are on the way. And now they can’t even keep us safe from the big one. Bennett fired back. About $2 billion
of that debt is for seismic upgrades for the 80-year-old Ruskin Dam in Maple Ridge, and the equally frail John Hart Dam on the Campbell River, built with wooden water pipes. Major BC Hydro works slowed down after completion of Revelstoke and Mica dams in the 1980s, and now the work is more expensive. The Northwest Transmission Line is a partnership with Imperial Metals, which wants to power its Red Chris copper-gold-silver mine. Bennett said the company is not only paying for the last section to Iskut and the mine site, but pitching in for the main line as well. Ottawa paid $130 million to get remote communities off decades of dependence on diesel generators. AltaGas, owner of one of those pri-
vate power projects in the region, puts in $180 million to get connected to the grid. The line will open up more mining and hydro possibilities. The cost overrun traces back mainly to the shortage of high-skill labour such as geotechnical engineering that the remote region already faces. And this is before natural gas pipelines and LNG plants gear up. Bennett takes over from the last sheriff, Rich Coleman, who put BC Hydro through the wringer in 2011. Coleman soon abandoned his idea of putting off the Ruskin and John Hart upgrades (again) to keep rates low through the election, and saw the B.C. Utilities Commission jack up the rate increase

Infrastructure can’t wait; Robron can
My husband and I do not remember ever voting on a referendum on the Robron project. When was this supposed referendum? We understand that 125 people signed a petition opposing the Telus tower in Willow Point and council wouldn’t give the go ahead to Telus. How can 125 people influence the Telus tower when the Robron project is given the green light, apparently after taxpayers turned down a referndum? We agree with Marina Mactavish’s letter on this subject. Infrastructure CAN’T wait but Robron CAN. If you don’t have the money, don’t borrow for yet another playing field. We can’t properly look after the venues
Slow and steady market growth continues through second quarter Multiple Listing Service (MLS) sales summary data for June released by the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board (VIREB) shows housing sales activity across Vancouver Island was up six per cent compared to last year, while average sale prices remain relatively unchanged. The average price of a single family home sold within the VIREB region in June 2013 was $341,643. Comparing June 2013 to June 2012, the average sale prices across VIREB’s six geographic areas saw: Campbell River remain virtually unchanged with average sales price listed at $308,850; Comox Valley down eight per cent to $333,297; Nanaimo’s average sales price went up five per cent to $375,080; Parksville/ Qualicum prices dropped nine per cent to $369,804; Port Alberni/West Coast increased by five per cent to $207,444, while the Cowichan Valley was up four per cent to $348,924. In terms of unit sales year-to-year,: Campbell River recorded a 12% increase, Comox Valley unit sales decreased by 17%, Nanaimo recorded a 24% increase, Parksville/Qualicum sales rose 18%, Port Alberni/West Coast dipped 35% and Cowichan Valley reported an increase of 23%.
we presently have, why borrow over $4 million for yet another one? Not to mention the artifical turf. There are now only 2 major league baseball fields left with artifical turf because of injuries to players. Why do these four regularly vote against what the Mayor and other two councillors want? This should be a cohesive group with the taxpayers’ best interests being one of the most important. I hope the newly appointed municipal auditor takes note. Judy A.

lawyer David Austin. He calculates that only 2.5 per cent is attributable to increased private power costs. Among other things, BC Hydro needs regional emergency centres capa-
ble of functioning after a Japan-sized quake, plus expansion. Bennett came clean on another reason for rate increases – the government’s increasing dependence on taking a “divi-
dend” as BC Hydro’s lone “shareholder.” The newly updated budget tells us this annual “dividend” is past $500 million and rising fast: $545 million this year, $611 million next

City launches all-out attack on invasive species CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR | WEDNESDAY, JULY 10, 2013
Kristen Douglas
Campbell RiveR miRRoR
The city is adopting an aggressive invasive species policy in a bid to control the spread of Scotch broom and noxious weeds. The city will work with volunteer community groups and non-profit organizations such as Greenways Land Trust to remove and dispose of invasive species, with the highest priority given to environmentally sensitive public areas as well as high traffic and high value areas.
The policy will cover Scotch broom, knotweed, blackberry, holly, ivy, yellow flag-iris, lamium and ox-eye daisy. The policy was prompted by Coun. Ron Kerr who requested staff report back to council on the feasibility of a broom eradication program. What Kerr got back was even more than what he asked for. “I think in this case I asked for an apple and I got a fruit salad,” Kerr said. “But I do think this policy has got teeth and it’s got a good educa-
tional component and I think it looks at the big picture.” The policy drafted by city staff includes identification and inventory of weeds as well as education and awareness in the community by groups such as BroomBusters, Greenways, and the Coastal Invasive Species Committee. The policy also includes a $7,400 quote from Coastal Invasive to complete an inventory of plant species within parks and environmentally sensitive areas. Terri Martin, the
city’s environmental coordinator, said city staff went with an all-encompassing invasive plant policy as opposed to one that’s specific to Scotch broom because it’s not just broom that poses a threat. “Of particular concern are those invasive species that are also classed as noxious weeds under the provincial Weed Control Act, which imposes a duty for every owner/ occupier of land in B.C. to control noxious weeds found on their property,” Martin said in a report to council. “Knotweed,

yellow flag-iris and giant hogweed are noxious weeds that are currently in early stages of control in Campbell River but require further attention under the act. Given that there is a duty to control noxious weeds and significant costs could be incurred if they are allowed to spread, the city needs an invasive plant policy that includes these species in addition to other troublesome invasive plants such as broom.” The two species of most concern in Campbell River are knotweed
and yellow flag-iris, according to Martin. Knotweed can grow through small cracks in pavement or concrete reducing the structural integrity of roads, building foundations, drainage systems, and retaining walls. It’s also a threat to ecosystems. Yellow flag-iris is very dominant once established and can be costly to remove. Broom, which was brought to the Island 1850 when travellers from Europe took it to Sooke, kills native spe-
cies, is highly flammable, is a tripping hazard for hikers, bikers and livestock, and is toxic to grazing animals. City staff will be providing council with a detailed implementation plan for the invasive plants policy which will include a proposed budget with options to work towards the targets outlined in the policy. In addition, several non-profit, community, school, and environmental groups have participated in invasive species plant removal events around the city this year.
3 Options for your glass containers
The glass collection bins will be removed from the recycling depots July 15, 2013.
CVRD
The depots are for the collection of products that can be recycled. For glass to be recycled, it must be sorted and shipped to out-of-province factories to be made into new glass, as there is no longer a glass recycling facility in BC. The glass collected at the recycling depots is of a poor quality in that it is often contaminated with other material, meaning that, in many instances, the product cannot be recycled anywhere.
3 Dispose
1
Residents are encouraged to reuse their non-refundable glass containers as many times as possible. Many glass containers (such as pop, juice, wine, beer and liquor bottles) require a deposit to be paid when the product is purchased, so residents should take those containers back to the point of purchase or to the Return-It bottle depots.
2
Residents can drop off their non-refundable glass containers in the bins that have been moved to secured and safe locations at the Campbell River and Comox Valley waste management centres. The glass accepted at these locations will be repurposed as aggregate for roads or ground cover in the landfill. Unlike food waste, glass is an inert material that does not decompose in the landfill to produce leachate or emit harmful greenhouse gases.
3
Residents can choose to place their non-refundable glass containers in their household garbage for pick up.
*NOTE: It is important to remember that glass containers are not accepted in the blue box municipal curbside recycling programs. For more information visit

Campbell RiveR miRRoR
The city is requesting the Strathcona Regional District hand over information relative to the city’s proposal to extend its southern boundary but the regional district is considering its options. Regional district staff are looking for direction from the board of directors as to the degree of its involvement. Tom Yates, acting chief administrative officer for the Strathcona Regional District, said the board should be careful not to get too involved. “The boundary extension proposal is an initiative of the City of Campbell River and it would be inappropriate for the regional district to allow its involvement to be construed as an endorsement of the rationale for the study,” Yates said. “However, it is important that the regional district do its utmost to ensure that information supplied to electors within the proposed extension area is complete and accurate before they are asked to vote on the pro-

posal.” Yates is recommending the board, which meets today, adopt a limited participation policy; meaning, regional district staff would supply geospatial data, property assessment value, service budgets and other related information to the consulting firm undertaking a feasibility study for the city. Regional district staff would also review the conclusions reached and proactively engage with provincial officials to ensure the process held true to its objectives. “In support of a compete and informed process the regional district has a responsibility to provide full and accurate information to the city

including, for example, mapping data, applicable bylaws, service details, and operational information,” Yates said. “However, the regional district needs to be cautious that it does not assume too large a role in the process since this is first and foremost a city initiative.” Yates warned that full participation could potentially jeopardize the relationship between the regional district and its residents which may incorrectly perceive the regional district as being the driver of the boundary extension. The other option, no participation, would force the city and its consultants to look elsewhere for information the regional district would likely have and could impact the accuracy of the information being collected. The boundary extension study, which is being conducted by Urban Systems, will look at an array of issues, including the feasibility of the city extending its southern boundary from Jubilee Parkway south to Henry Road.

Question: I’ve recently been diagnosed with uncontrolled diabetes and my doctor suggested I see my dentist. Why?
Answer: Diabetes affects many Canadians each year ~ it can lower your resistance to infection & can slow the healing process. The most common oral health problems associated Dr. Kevin Lathangue with diabetes are tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease which leads to tooth loss. When diabetes is not controlled properly, high sugar levels in saliva may help bacteria thrive. Plaque that is not removed can eventually harden (calcify) into calculus. When calculus collects above the gumline, it cannot be removed by brushing. This can create conditions that lead to chronic inflammation and infection in the mouth. Periodontal disease often is linked to the control of diabetes. For example, patients with inadequate blood sugar control appear to develop periodontal disease more often and more severely, and they lose more teeth than do people who have good control of their diabetes. Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning once a day between your teeth with floss and seeing your dentist regularly for an exam will help you to maintain your overall health.

at governance and the cost to taxpayers both in the city and in Area D, among other things. After the study is complete, a public consultation period would be held in the fall. Following that, affected Area D residents would vote in a referendum whether they want to join the city and city residents would likely participate in an Alternate Approval Process, where only those opposed write in to the city. The boundary extension proposal is being
floated by the city in response to some failing sewage systems in Area D. Residents had voted in favour of a referendum in 2006 of borrowing $9,350 for the collection and disposal of sewage. But the regional district turned down the city’s offer of hooking Area D homes up to the city’s sewer service because the regional district said the city’s asking price was more than what was approved in the referendum. The city then pulled out of negotiations with
the regional district and proposed extending its boundary so Area D properties could join the city and receive city services, such as sewer. The proposal would incorporate about 1,000 properties from the city boundary at Jubilee Parkway south to Henry Road. It would allow 2,400 of the total 4,300 Area D population to hook up to the city’s sewer service and get off septic tanks, according to the city. Whether or not the proposal goes through
would likely be decided by late 2013. Area D Director Brenda Leigh, has suggested her constituents would not choose to join the city. “I do not believe that the people of Area D are interested in being annexed into Campbell River or being governed by them in order to get those services,” Leigh said. “That’s something that the people of Area D should decide after a full and independent presentation of all the factors, and through a referendum.”

Avoid contact with bats to safeguard against the risk of rabies
S
ummer time brings sunny weather, longer days and more time spent outside. It also brings with it an increased risk of contact between people and wild animals, particularly bats, and consequently an increased risk of exposure to rabies – a disease which, if not prevented quickly after exposure to the virus, is fatal over 99 per cent of the time. Bats are the primary carriers of rabies in the province. The Vancouver Island Health Authority warns people to avoid physical contact with bats, and to seek immediate medical attention if they have been bitten by, or have had any physical contact with a bat. While rabies can be prevented with a vaccine after exposure to the virus, immunization is ineffective once symptoms develop. Rabies disease is very rare among humans. There have been only two human cases of rabies in BC residents since 1985– both linked to a bat strain of the virus – and both of them were fatal. Even if the disease is rare, exposures to bats are frequent. Each situation must be evaluated to determine the need for vaccine. Dr. Dee Hoyano, Medical Health Officer for the Vancouver Island Health Authority, urges people – especially those with children – to be
careful and vigilant. “The best way to avoid rabies exposure is to avoid direct contact with bats. Bats are not pets; they are wild animals that can be dangerous at times. Children and adults need to know that bats should never be directly touched or picked up, whatever the condition of the bat dead or alive.” In special circumstances, trained personnel can assist with handling or moving bats. Sometimes contact with a bat is unavoidable or accidental. In that case, “If you are bitten, scratched or have handled a bat, assume you’ve been exposed to the rabies virus,” Dr. Hoyano says. “In those circumstances, you must seek medical attention to have your exposure risk evaluated.” “Although there is virtually no risk of rabies from being bitten by other types of animals – such as otters, raccoons and squirrels – on Vancouver Island, people should seek medical advice right away, especially if the animal acted strangely. Also, a tetanus shot may be needed.” warns Dr. Hoyano. The best approach is prevention: n Do not touch live or dead bats n Make your home or cabin ‘bat-proof ’. Keep your doors and windows closed or screened (make sure the screens don’t have any holes), and keep your attic area

free of bats by ensuring all vents are properly screened n Seek professional bat control advice if you observe bats in your work area or home environment n Avoid locations or activities where bats are likely to be encountered (e.g. caves) n If you have a pet dog, cat or ferret, make sure it is vaccinated regularly against rabies n Warn children about the risks of exposure to rabies (e.g. not approaching wildlife or handling bats) People who have been bitten or scratched by a bat, or who have handled a bat should immediately do the following: n Thoroughly wash the bite or scratch with soap and water, using lots of water to flush the wound n In the case of handling a bat, wash hands thoroughly n Seek medical attention right away For more information on rabies: n Visit the Rabies information page on www.bccdc.ca. n Call HealthLink BC by dialing 811 n View the BC HealthFiles on Rabies at www.healthlinkbc.ca
Summer’s here! Tips for sun and heat safety WEDNESDAY, JULY 10, 2013
Summer is finally here for Vancouver Island, and with this weekend’s temperatures predicted to rise, the Vancouver Island Health Authority would like to remind you about some important sun and heat safety tips. Excessive exposure to the sun can cause serious illness such as sun stroke and heat exhaustion. The sun’s rays can also damage skin, particularly over years of exposure. Here are some tips so everyone can enjoy the sun safely: n Seek shade and keep skin covered as much as possible when spending time in the sun. The sun can burn and damage skin even on a cloudy day. n Wear a hat with a wide brim. n Children are more vulnerable
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability in Canada. The Vancouver Island Health Authority urges residents to know the signs of stroke and get help as quickly as possible. Quick diagnosis and treatment of a stroke changes the outcome for a patient; and knowing the warning signs of stroke can ensure that every second counts. Remember, think FAST: n Facial droop: one side of face does not move as well as the other n Arm drift: one arm does not move or drifts downward when held extended n Speech: patient slurs words, uses the wrong word, or cannot

activities during peak hours of sun (10am – 4pm). n Drink plenty of fluids, but avoid alcohol and caffeine as they can be dehydrating. n Keep your body cool – dress in light weight and loose fitting clothing that covers most of your body. n Never leave children in a car unattended - vehicles sitting in the heat can reach temperatures that can be fatal within just a few minutes. For more information on Sun Safety and Heat Stroke: n View the BC HealthFiles at http://www.healthlinkbc.ca/ healthfiles/hfile35.stm n Call HealthLink BC by dialing 811
speak at all n Time: to call 9-1-1 The bottom line is, if you notice sudden loss of strength or numbness in the face, arm or leg; sudden difficulty speaking or confusion; or a sudden severe and unusual headache, call 9-1-1. “If you treat stroke patients quickly, before there is irreversible damage to the brain, they can recover completely,” said stroke researcher and neurologist Dr. Andrew Penn. The miracle treatment is a clot-buster called tPA, which is a naturally occurring protein that breaks up blood clots. “If you remove the blockage, blood can flow freely again,” Penn adds.
The Vancouver Island Health Authority continues to build on its success. The Stroke Rapid Assessment Unit, which intervenes after people develop warning signs of impending stroke, has treated over 12,000 patients from the breadth of the island since 2005, sharply reducing hospitalization for stroke. Toronto and Calgary are among Canadian centres now replicating our model of care. The health authority is also leading a $10 million research project, SpecTRA, to develop a quick and easy blood test that could revolutionize the management of this disease.

to sun damage and heatstroke, so ensure their skin is protected or in the shade. Infants under 6 months should wear a UVA/UVB protective suit if spending time outdoors. n Apply sunscreen early and often with a minimum Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 30 to exposed skin at least 15-30 minutes prior to going out. Use it liberally and make sure to reapply often throughout the day, especially following swimming or heavy perspiration. n Wear sunglasses, especially when driving or cycling. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation (rays) can cause cataracts and other eye diseases. n Avoid strenuous outdoor

Experts’ Advice
Do you know someone elderly that needs home care?
Golf tips… Be “FORE” you can’t perform!
Having been a Registered Nurse for many years, it is obvious to the eye, the elderly need good personal care, but with caregivers that really care enough to be there. Josie Coak With Charcare, I am going Retired Registered Nurse to be there for you asking a simple question; “what would you like included in your activities of daily living”. The services I offer will be ingoing and outgoing care which will allow you to stay in control of your life, and stay in your own home. I want you to feel that this can be accomplished, either the decision made by yourself or a family member.
It’s summer and golfing fever has set in. Our staff at RIM have been keen to get out on the course so we came up with a few tips to make sure everyone stays safe and injury free all season! The number one injury associated with golf is low back pain with 50% of golfers Sarah Hrabi complain of back pain at some Physiotherapist point in their career. This could be due to a number of factors including poor movement biomechanics, overuse and a non-specific exercise program. Strengthening your “golf muscles” including your hips, trunk, shoulders, elbows and wrist, a good warm up and core engagement pre-swing can create a world of difference in decreasing your back pain. A physiotherapist can provide a comprehensive biomechanical assessment to make sure you stay at your best and avoid nasty back pain… or worse - mulligan’s!

How are your fundraising priorities determined?
We determine which equipment to purchase each year by working closely with our local hospital staff and management; annually each department determines the equipment that they need and its priority within the department. Then each item is prioritized and submitted to VIHA. It is then reviewed with the three other community hospitals; Port Alberni, Comox and Cowichan Valley.
Under the new Power of Attorney Act, an appointed attorney has a positive obligation to act. This means that the attorney must start to act on your behalf when the circumstances Gurdeep Sidhu, CGA require. The attorney cannot just Notary Public sit back and do nothing. If the attorney does not want to act as attorney then he/she is required to officially resign by following the requirements specified by law. These requirements include giving notice to the donor of the Power of Attorney, and to the individuals who would be in the position to look after the donor’s affairs. Under some circumstances notice should be sent to the Public Guardian and Trustee’s office as well. The individuals who are required to be notified depend on the individual’s relationship to you and the closeness of the relationship.

No, an ozonator does not disinfect, treat or clean hot tub water at all. Terry Collins, Owner I would not personally recommend ozone. It is an oxidizer and generates a strong gas that is released directly into your hot tub water for an oxidization process. This gas will damage the hot tub cover. We recommend an easy, clean, simple and as natural a process as possible. Ask us about Spa Marvel.

A 3 part nutrient is an all purpose plant food formula that will grow everything! Combine Grow, Bloom and Micro nutrients into your water at different ratios depending on the stage your plant is in, to have utmost control of the food your plant requires. For instance, if you are in Christa Fernau the vegetative stage, you are using more “Grow”, the same amount of “Micro” and a less amount of “Bloom”. If you are in the flowering stage, it is simply the other way around, using more “Bloom” than “Grow”. This is an affordable, high quality way to feed your plants. We are getting great feedback on our new 3 Part by Cascadian Plant Food, proudly made right here in Campbell River. We still have plenty of free samples for you to try. Come on in and get some, and get more information on how to grow beautiful and nutritious veggies and flowers.

• Applying insect repellents is the most recommended protection against insect bites • Health Canada recommends the use of DEET containing Victor Choo repellents but make sure not to use formulations containing Pharmacist/Owner more than 50% of DEET. Apply to exposed skin, including face, wrists, ankle and neck. Wash hands after application. • In children, use DEET 10% or less and should be applied sparingly and avoid applying to hands or face. If you do get bitten, don’t scratch. Calamine lotion or Hydrocortisone often helps reduce the itching. Talk to your Peoples Drug Mart pharmacist for products that should help you get through this season!

One of the best things you can do pro-actively for your new puppy is to take the time to introduce her to being groomed.
Why is fluoride so important?
Choose a professional groomer you are comfortable with, and chat with them about setting up an appointment for a new baby puppy. This may involve just leaving the puppy for a very short time with the groomer at a pre-arranged time where the pup can hang out and watch/listen to the atmosphere. This is typically towards the end of the day when it is hopefully not as hectic or noisy. The next visit may include a bath only, maybe a nail trim and face tidy, focusing on the puppy having a nice Cathy Merrithew pleasant experience without too much fussing about a fancy trim. The puppy will find out about being handled by someone other than the owner, she’ll learn it’s OK to be away from the owner for a short time, her feet will be handled, and the coat brushed and combed. If you’ve chosen the right groomer, they should take their time, and reward the puppy with tiny treats for good behavior. You can also easily condition your pup to having their face and feet handled by you and even your friends when they visit, by touching then rewarding with a tasty treat. This type of “bomb-proofing” your pup can be started as soon as you welcome her into your family. Please don’t wait until your puppy turns into a matted mess before you hand them over to the professionals... a kind groomer would insist on the puppy being clipped right down, avoiding potential pain from pulling on the hair and trying to make her first grooming appointment a pleasant time.
Fluoride has long been a topic of debate and although fluoride use has its critics, the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention consider the introduction of fluoride to improve oral health one of the top 10 great public health Dr. Kevin Lathangue achievements of the 20th century. Fluoride has a very unique property in that it can replace Calcium in our enamel. So when our teeth are exposed to acid (which is how decay starts) the acid leaches (pulls) calcium out of our enamel thereby weakening our teeth. Fluoride, when available, replaces the calcium in our enamel and makes our teeth more resistant to acid. So, in essence, fluoride makes our teeth stronger because acid from bacteria won’t be as effective at decaying our teeth. It’s still very important to brush and floss because, even with fluoride replacing our calcium, our teeth are still susceptible to decay. So 2-3 minutes twice a day for brushing and flossing every day is still the Canadian Dental Association recommendation.

It is salmon mania in Campbell River! This glorious fish is beneficial not just to us but also to our four legged companions. Salmon oil contains high amounts of omega-III fatty acids which is an essential fatty acid for building and developing skin and coat health. Salmon oil can be helpful as an Dr. Peter anti-inflammatory supplement Woodward for arthritic dogs and cats. It can also help keep the brain functioning sharper in aging dogs. It is recommended for dogs with skin allergies and to help various skin conditions heal faster. There has also been a recent study that salmon oil is a cancer fighting supplement that most veterinary oncologists recommend. A typical dose of salmon oil is 1000mg per 25lbs of the dog’s weight or a 500mg capsule per cat. If using it to help treat a specific condition, work with your veterinarian or contact us at Campbell River Veterinary Hospital for further information.

250-898-3173 Why should I trim my birds wings?
» Pet Store
This time of year we have our windows and doors open all the time. With our pet birds, we like to leave them out to socialize and play on cage top playpens. However, in the warm months we continue to do so and forget that those birds can fly. Our Sarah Kirk, Owner bird has no “home” instinct or ability to realize where home is.. so when that door or window is open out he goes and doesn’t return. Trimming a birds wings is like getting a hair cut... it does not hurt, nor does it impair their thinking process of flying... they still think they can fly. When done by a professional such as Campbell River Pet Centre Staff we only trim their “flight” feathers, so they can’t “fly”. Trimming too much off the wing can result in an inability to glide to the ground and birds will “plop” to the ground. This is not desirable nor a good idea as the bird can injure it’s tail by dropping quickly. Every summer we get birds in that have flown out of windows and been turned in to us, or previously to the SPCA. Most of the birds that fly away NEVER return home and get killed by cats, or other birds. Please be safe with your bird, and have his or her flight feathers trimmed.

18-month mission takes Quadra woman into the heart of her church’s history
E
Emily Turner, centre, invites visitors to have a tour of temple square and learn about the Church of Jesus Christ and its history, in the language of their choice.
the Tabernacle, home to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Turner served as a missionary and had many duties, including conducting guided tours and talking to people over the phone and online. There are approximately 180 young women serving on Temple Square, representing 40 languages. They are divided into pairs, called companions. During her time away, Turner worked with 10 different companions, from South Korea, the United States, Switzerland and Somoa.
A typical day started with exercise, followed by two hours of study – one personal, and one hour with her companion. Turner and her companion would then go to Temple Square for three hours and be available for anyone who had questions or wanted a tour. After lunch, they would work in the teaching centre for two hours (calling people, teaching over the phone, receiving calls, or chats from mormon.org) This was followed by another session on Temple Square, dinner, and then a second session in the
teaching centre. She also was able to have an outbound experience, where she served in the California Arcadia mission for three months. This time was spent in the more usual way of teaching lessons face to face as well as participating in service projects. Turner said that her favourite part about doing missionary work was seeing how happy people were when they were being taught, whether that was in a 40-minute tour, or in an ongoing teaching relationship. While away, Turner
felt that she learned “the importance of living the commandments and the gospel – all the little things like praying and going to church – doing it and meaning it.” She said she gained an understanding that God is a loving Heavenly Father, and that we are all brothers and sisters. She felt it would affect how she reacts to people. Turner is presently taking some distance education courses, and hopes to go to school full time in January. She plans to study psychology.
Pampering poultry
Now that City Council has given its support for a chicken bylaw to be prepared, can economic development and employment opportunities be far behind? Just think what four laying hens can produce. My calculation is 128 eggs every seven days which translates into gross sales of $10 weekly. It is most likely excess eggs will be gifted or bartered in exchange for fresh veggies but other possibilities for this flow of new wealth is endless. Another idea regarding economic activity has come forward from Los Angeles, a city known for laying a lot of eggs. They already have dog walkers, doggie daycare and doggie sleepovers. Now the City of Angels is supporting chicken sitting. “Well why not?” I ask. What happens when our urban farmers travel out of town? Here’s when a bono fide chicken sitter flutters into action. The job description includes skills in feeding, watering, coop cleaning and egg collection. If the chickens are “free” range, a sitter will let them out in the morning and hopefully they will return unscathed at sunset. As an extra service the chicken sitter could arrange play-dates for pampered poultry. For readers who are contemplating a future position in the Morgan Ostler backyard hen business you Urban Gardener could hone your skills while awaiting the bylaw coming into effect.There must be some excellent opportunities to practice on the neighbourhood flocks. Keep a sharp eye out while cruising the back lanes and you’ll find those concerned cluckers huddled under decks, in basement nooks and crouching under dense foliage. They have been trained to dodge the beady gaze of the beleaguered bylaw officer. A reader asked me if the proposed new bylaw would open the door to a flood of urban chickens. As most residents who want to raise poultry are already doing so undercover there seems no reason to fear an urban chicken craze. Did You Know That….there’s a new addition to Campbell River’s modest inventory of commercial farm holdings. Ron and Leslie Shann have turned their dream of developing their acreage into a producing berry farm. U-Pick raspberries and blackberries will be ready for harvesting towards the end of July. Ocean Grove Berry Farm is located at 3782 Island Hwy.
Experts’ Advice
What changes can I expect in my cash flow when I retire?
My bank wants to sell me Critical Illness insurance (CI). Isn’t all CI coverage the same?
My Holidays are always during peak travel times, how do I avoid paying a high premium?
There is a rule of thumb for income planning that people can follow if they retire debt free: allow for 70% of your preretirement income for expenses. However, we have found this to Peter Garat be one of those “one-size-fitsCertified Financial Planner no-one” rules. For example, if you are a golfer, car enthusiast, boater, or have your heart set on world travel…retirement could cost well over 100% of what you spent before you stopped working - draining savings quicker than anticipated. On the other hand, if your hobbies include hiking, walks on the beach, and volunteer work…then the 70% rule could fit just fine. Since everyone’s retirement plans are different, you should sit down with your financial advisor and create an income plan that makes your money last, and pay as little tax as possible in the process.
There are a multitude of Critical Illness products out there, and the differences are vast. A policy can cover anywhere from 2 to 27 conditions, but not all include Darlene Garat “Loss of Independent Existence” Financial Advisor which can stretch the product to cover serious injury as well. Many bank offered products only pay out the mortgage not the individual, and most have a maximum (usually $300,000 or the mortgage amount – whichever is lowest) and decrease with the mortgage, just like most mortgage insurance. A standalone critical illness policy or good quality rider on a life insurance policy (that doesn’t decrease over its term) pays the insured party so they chose how to use the money – on treatment, on bills, or on a bucket list of memories.
If you must travel on certain dates and times, particularly during holiday weekends, summer or Christmas break, buy tickets as soon as Christina Peterson, Flight Centre Associate your dates are confirmed. Airlines don’t put these high congestion periods on sale because passenger demand is always so high, so tickets for these dates never get lower. They just get bought up by other passengers. The longer you wait to purchase holiday tickets the more likely you are to have to fly at an inconvenient or off peak hours while still paying a premium holiday price.

mily Turner has returned to Quadra Island after serving an 18 month mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Turner, who was born and raised on Quadra, spent most of her time away at the Salt Lake City Temple Square mission. Turner was raised in the church, and decided to go on a mission because her family was brought into the church through the work of missionaries. “Once I fully understood the teachings of the Church in regards to how to gain happiness in this life,” she said “and that what really made me happy was the Church, then I felt I had to go share with others as that is how my family was brought in.” She explained that her experience was different from the usual mission in several ways. Salt Lake City is the headquarters for the Church, and in the heart of the city is Temple Square. The main attraction in the Square is the Salt Lake Temple, a granite structure constructed between 1853 and 1893, and sacred to Church members. Nearby are other historical buildings and sites, as well as

Ocean Pacific Marine boatyard commemorates 3,000th boat lift On July 2, Ocean Pacific Marine Store & Boatyard commemorated their 3000th boat lift with local fisherman Dan Smith of the Reid Pass. Ocean Pacific Marine has operated since 1985, is the largest commercial boat repair yard on the North Island and is a fixture of marine life in the Campbell River region. The 3,000th lift
was performed by the 110 ton Travelift, which began operating in October 2010. It is capable of lifting boats up to 90 feet long, 110 tons and with beams of up to 24 feet across. From their origins as a marine store operating on Pier Street, Ocean Pacific has expanded immensely in their 27 years, most significantly when they opened a
branch store in the Discovery Harbour Shopping Centre in 1997, and when they moved the boatyard operations and the store to this location in 2007. Ocean Pacific also offers space for vessel owners to work independently. The many boats that have passed through the Ocean Pacific yards represent a living history of marine life on the West Coast.

Marine Harvest receives three-star certification
Marine Harvest Canada is the first farm-raised salmon producer in British Columbia to achieve three-star Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) certification. The premier status was attained on July 3rd, 2013, when the company’s Port Hardy Processing facility was certified to the BAP Seafood Processing standard. The new certification complements the Salmon Farm and Feed Mill certification that Marine Harvest Canada (MHC) and its fish feed manufacturer, Skretting Canada, received in 2012 which “guarantees our customers a continuous supply of BAP three-star certified product” states MHC Sustainability Programs Director, Clare Backman. “Since the third-party audited BAP Seafood Processing standard meets Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) requirements, MHC customers are assured that product meets high food safety and quality standards,” Backman says, “and because all BAP standards encompass social and environmental aspects, customers know that the salmon they receive is produced in a responsible and sustainable manner.” MHC’s Port Hardy Processing Plant is located on the northern tip of Vancouver Island. This state-ofthe-art facility processes more than 35,000 tonnes of high quality Atlantic farm-raised salmon products annually. Built in 2003, the plant is the newest fish processing facility in British Columbia.

am always amazed by hummingbirds, one of nature’s most spectacular birds. Many hummingbirds are named after vibrant colors – amethyst, emerald, ruby and sapphire. There are over 300 species of hummingbirds in the world and they are only found in the Western hemisphere. Hummingbirds are the tiniest birds in the world. The bee hummingbird is the smallest. Found in Cuba, it is only five centimeters in length. Vancouver Island is visited by the rufous and Ana’s species. Both cover a territory from Mexico to Alaska – a distance of approximately 3,000 miles in one year. These remarkable little birds are unique but many facts and fictions that surround them. Iridescence on hummingbird feathers makes them sparkle in the sunlight. Sunlight is reflected, changing the colour when viewed from a different angle, and if there is no sun, they appear to be black. Hummingbirds are often referred to as living helicopters. They have the ability to fly up, down, sideways and even upside down. Flexible shoulders allow the wings to rotate so they can hover in a stationary position. Hummingbirds are also one of the world’s fastest fliers, reaching speeds of up to 60 miles per hour. As well
as their speedy flying, Another fascinating they are able to cover adaptation for these vast distances by storbirds is their ability to ing extra fat to sustain go into a state of torpor. them during the flight.

at the top and bottom of the maneuver. Hummingbirds’ nests are also a feat of engineering. They build a diminutive nest out of lichens and moss which is held together by wrapping the outside with spiders webs. The webs provide elasticity for the nest and allows it to expand to accommodate the babies as they grow. Mountainaire Avian Rescue Society (MARS) rescued an Ana’s hummingbird last week that appeared to have hit a window. It is very difficult to care for these birds in captivity as their feeding habits are hard to replicate. It is safer for the birds to hang a feeder in the trees or next to bushes that provide protection from predators. This also prevents the bird hitting the window, mistaking the reflection of trees as being the escape route. Feeders need to be cleaned regularly and please do not use nectar with red food dye, feeders need to be changed more often in hot weather as fungus, mould and bacteria can build up in a hurry which are harmful to the birds.

Robron grad jazzes up Montreal stage A Robron grad who learned his musical chops in Campbell River has won a prestigious award from the Festival International de Jazz de Montreal. Chris Andrew is the piano player for the Edmonton-based Hutchinson Andrew Trio which was deemed the best of nine jazz ensembles competing for the TD Grand Jazz Award at the Montreal Jazz Festival. The Hutchinson Andrew Trio was presented the 2013 TD Grand Jazz Award by Laurent Saulnier, VicePresident Programming & Production, at a press conference on Friday in the Salle Stevie Wonder
of Maison du Festival Rio Tinto Alcan. The group performed that night on the TD stage with André Leroux as a special guest. A festival press release says, “Very popular out west, this Alberta combo consisting of Kodi Hutchinson (double bass), Chris Andrew (piano) and Karl Schwonik (drums), specializes in contemporary acoustic jazz — their influences include such notables as Brad Mehldau and Aaron Park. In their second Festival appearance, the boys of HAT introduced us to their solid third album, Prairie Modern, with their special guest André Leroux.” Andrew still consid-

McLauchlan, one of Canada’s most influential songwriters, began writing songs and performing them in his late teens. After playing at major music festivals, such as The Philadelphia Folk Festival, where he appeared alongside Jim Croce and John Prine,
and Mariposa where he gave up half of his concert time so Joni Mitchell could play, McLauchlan began to attract wider attention on the club circuit, playing such well known rooms as The Riverboat in Toronto, The Bitter End in New York, The Main Point in Philadelphia, and the famous Earl of Old Town in Chicago.

Tyees golden in Surrey Following up an earlier win in Mission, the Marine Harvest peewee A Tyees kicked off the Mainland Summer All Star Season with a gold medal at the Surrey All Star Kick Off Tournament on the Canada Day weekend. This tournament is the opening of Summer League play in the Lower Mainland and featured eight teams: Surrey, Cloverdale, Abbotsford, Tsawwassen, North Delta, Vernon, Richmond and Campbell River. Starting with play on Saturday the Tyees

defeated Vernon 18-8, behind an impressive offensive outing led by a River Fahey homerun off the right field foul pole. Strong pitching from Lynden Shuk and Jamie Ingersoll held the Vernon team in check. Sunday saw the Tyees playing two games in soaring temperatures that reached 38 degrees. In a back and forth affair the Tyees prevailed 15-11 over the host Surrey team. Sage Cameron and Dayton Ring combined with Brodie Comerford, who closed out the win to give the Tyees
while the Tyees bats led the way to a 10-5 victory. Nick Macgregor won game MVP with several outstanding plays at first and by leading the Tyee offence. The f ina l was a rematch with the home town Surrey Cardinals, who reached the finals by beating Abbotsford 12-2. The Tyees went to work immediately and scored four runs in the top of the first and never looked back. Despite the best efforts of the Cardinals, the Tyees defence ended each rally with solid plays at shortstop
from Nathan Chow and a strong catching performance from Nathan Lagos, who made it tough on Cardinal baserunners. Nico Matheson pitched four strong innings, giving up one run and going 2-3 from the plate and winning game MVP honours as the Tyees won with a convincing 13-1 over the host team. These wins were an impressive achievement as the Tyees played two games in five hours in temperatures nearing 40 degrees.

EightWHAT in 10 WHEN WHO
Newspapers are alive and well in Canada. Eight in 10 Canadians have read a newspaper in the last week in print or online. And each day, more than half of Canadians read. If we just consider print newspapers for a moment, there are 21 per cent more print newspapers than there were in 1970. Furthermore, there were 10 new print newspapers launched in last year. Canadians love print newspapers.

Many newspapers offer �lyers in print and electronic form. Eighty-�ive per cent of Canadians use �lyers – and by far (90 per cent) they tell us they use the print �lyer. Canadians are embracing newspapers across all devices. Research shows the average Canadian touches newspaper media six times in a day: twice each in print and online, once via tablet and once on a phone. Canadians want newspapers. They also want newspaper ads. They expect newspapers to have ads. And they trust ads in newspapers, both in print and online, more than ads in other media. Why the misperception about newspapers? The data for Canadian newspapers is not the case in the United States. And their bad news spills over the border.

In the U.S., a city might have one local paper. In Canada, many of our cities have lots of options in terms of newspapers. More papers equals more competition, which keeps the industry on its toes. As such, Canadian papers provide lots of interesting options such as more colour, unique ad shapes and placement, QR codes, multimedia opportunities and more. In the U.S., papers had the opportunity to get sleepy (and they did). Newspapers in Canada are vibrant. About one quarter of all ad dollars spend in media in Canada is spent in newspapers. This roughly matches the amount spent on TV. This is also more than the amount spent on internet advertising. Advertisers clearly agree on the power of newspapers.
We lead the way in print and online. Ian Robertson (Marine Harvest), Jennifer Parker (CR Head Injury Society), Sue McDonald (CR Bike to Work Week committee) were pleased with the $1,500 raised for the Head Injury Society during a Bike to Work Week barbecue put on by Marine Harvest.

Bike to Work Week supports Head Injury Society
While the number of teams and participants in Bike to Work Week 2013 was lower than in 2012, the enthusiasm and support from Campbell River cyclists was great. At the midweek barbecue in Spirit Square, sponsored by Marine Harvest, more than 200 salmon burgers were sold, raising $1,500 for
the Campbell River Head Injury Society. Although the numbers were down and the weather not very cooperative, Campbell River’s participation in Bike to Work Week 2013 still trumped communities like Nanaimo, Squamish and Whistler. For Bike to Work Week 2013, Campbell River had 84 teams
and 314 cyclists participating. They cycled a total of 11,965 kilometres, preventing 2,776 kilograms of greenhouse gases from entering the atmosphere. That is the equivalent of driving a mid-sized car for six months. To see the full results for 2013 Bike to Work Week check out www.biketowork.ca
