Hydro entrance safety work to begin
The road into the hydro generating station will have a new look that is expected to be safer for vehicle traffic while preparing BC Hydro for the upcoming John Hart Generating Station Replacement Project. Work is set begin to shift the road entrance about 50 metres up Highway 28. This will provide for acceleration and deceleration lanes, and turning lanes, within the highway for traffic entering or leaving the John Hart site. It will also allow for better sight-lines. “BC Hydro will start with tree removals the week of August 12 and then shift to the earthworks,” says BC Hydro spokesperson Stephen Watson. Hydro is working with the Ministry of Transportation on the traffic management plan, and speeds along Continued on 4

Fundraising moneys never showed up Kristen Douglas
CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The betrayal and broken friendship stemming from the theft of money fundraised for Discovery Passage school hurts more than the stolen money, say members who sat on the parent council with the accused. “ They were close friends of ours for years,” said one Parent Advisory Council (PAC) member who asked not to be named. “More than the money, it was about the trust and betrayal. It definitely destroyed us as a PAC.” Neil and Jessica Taylor are both charged with one count each of fraud over $5,000 and one count of theft over $5,000. On Wednesday morning in provin-
cial court, Neil Taylor plead guilty to theft over $5,000 while Jessica’s charges were withdrawn by the Crown. The Taylors were charged in May of embezzling money from the PAC between Dec. 1, 2010 and Jan. 31, 2012 while the parent group was mounting an aggressive fundraising campaign for a new playground after the school district took the school’s old playground down due to safety concerns. Jessica served as treasurer of the Parent Advisory Council during winter 2011 and took over the position of chair in the 2011/12 school year, before vacating the position in early 2012. Neil served as treasurer of the council during the 2011/12 school year.
Former PAC member Gene Belanko said the parent group became suspicious something was wrong when the Taylors refused to provide income statements to the council. “ They continually refused for six months to a year and we finally told them we have to legally balance the books, they have to be available,” Belanko said. “When they finally produced the statements, the balance was significantly less than the cash that was brought in. It was less than half of what should have been in there. We did some really significant fundraisers. “We did a beer and burger night which raised over $3,000, and we held a school carnival and did $1,300.”
Belanko said those figures never showed up on the books, neither did the thousands of dollars raised by a Discovery Passage student through the Great Walk from Tahsis to Gold River. Belanko said he estimates more than $10,000 went missing from the PAC. With a big chunk of money missing, it was an uphill battle for the small PAC which was trying to purchase a playground for the school. But good news came shortly after In June, the parent group received a $50,000 grant from the province and the PAC was able to buy a new plyground.. Timeline n February 2011- Discovery Passage’s play-

charged with theft and fraud. Both Jessica and Neil pleaded not guilty to the charges. On Wednesday though, that changed when Neil took the blame by pleading guilty to theft. Neil’s fraud charge is expected to be dropped by Crown prosecutor David Fitzsimmons and both charges against Jessica could be stayed as well. However, it’s not a done
deal and Fitzsimmons requested a pre-sentence report be prepared for the court. The prosecutor indicated he will wait until everything is completed before he considers dropping the other charges.
The Taylors entered the courtroom together, but did not address Judge Roderick Sutton. Jessica is several months pregnant and has maintained her not guilty pleas. The couple is due back in court on Aug. 12.

Water levels steady for fish and anglers 221C Church Street, Comox

An old-growth tree in the Campbell River remains a danger to swimmers, snorkelers and tubers. The tree fell into the river in early 2012 and remains there, just below the John Hart Generating Station, and poses a danger to river users. That’s why river access remains closed from the BC Hydro generating station, but there are still plenty of other, and safer,
areas to access the river for recreation. Speaking of that, water levels on the river and the lakes that feed the Campbell remain in good shape in spite of very dry July. “The river flow below the generating station is around 40 cubic metres per second. This flow is ideal for the pink salmon recreation fishery,” said BC Hydro spokesman Stephen Watson in a
news release. “The reservoirs upstream are also well-positioned for good recreation activities. The system is being managed as well as possible given the amount of water abundance.” The Upper Campbell Reservoir/Buttle Lake is currently at 219 metres and is about half a metre below normal at this time of year. It reached a high of 219.2 metres (220.5 metres is consid-
ered full) on July 14 and has been hovering near that level since then. Water run-off into the reservoir is currently about 30 cubic metres per second. BC Hydro’s water supply forecast is showing water inflows into the Campbell River reservoirs between now and the end of September may only be about 79 per cent of normal. BC Hydro is running
the John Hart Generating Station at about 34 megawatts, or about 30 per cent of capacity, to provide target river flows for this time of year. “This benefits fish and river recreation. It also conserves water for the benefit of upstream reservoir levels.” Watson said. BC Hydro forecasts the reservoir to be around 218 metres by the end of September.

allow for some of the eight parking spots near the John Hart entrance road to be accessible during the approximate eight-week construction period. BC Hydro advises all the parking spots will be re-opened once the modification work is finished. “BC Hydro apologizes for any inconvenience this work may cause for travellers along Highway 28,” says Watson. “When complete by early Octo-
ber, the traffic pattern will be much safer, especially for vehicles coming down General Hill and turning left into the John Hart site.” Hydro work also continues on the new John Hart trail and parking lot re-alignments, with the new Station View Trail expected to be open just before Labour Day.
the billion-dollar John Hart project that remains on budget and on target for the 2018 in-service date. “BC Hydro has a set date of August 30 for the final John Hart project proposals and financial submissions from the competing bidding teams,” says Watson. “There will then be a review period before BC Hydro announces the preferred team, likely about six weeks later.”
Once the preferred team is notified and publicly announced, there will then be a period of final negotiation before the contract is signed. “BC Hydro is just as excited as the community in getting this fascinating major project underway,” Watson said in a news release. “While we need to acknowledge there are some impacts to a project of this size, the overall benefits are significant.”

Couple join the smart meter class-action suit
www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRivermirror.com
Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR
A Campbell River couple has joined a lawsuit against BC Hydro after the utility threatened to cut off their power if they did not consent to having a smart meter installed on their home. Ron and Nan Latchford have joined a class action lawsuit brought forward by Salt Spring Island resident Nomi Davis who said her analog meter was replaced last year by a smart meter in a deceptive fashion. According to a video Davis posted on Youtube, she was promised by a representative from Corix, which has been installing the new meters, that her meter would have the radio switched off. But immediately after the meter was installed, a friend was able to measure electromagnetic frequencies coming from the smart meter every five seconds – some from 40 feet away. The Latchfords signed onto Davis’ lawsuit on April 30, but the papers were just filed to B.C. Supreme Court on July
25. The suit demands that BC Hydro remove unwanted smart meters, that BC Hydro stop installing the devices without the consent of the home owner, that BC Hydro be prohibited from declining to sell power to properties who don’t want the meters, and that the power corporation be restrained from accepting payments in exchange for not having a smart meter. Nan Latchford said the lawsuit is about rights and freedom. “We feel our civil rights are being ignored by not giving us a choice and not giving us the freedom to have our homes free of an intrusion of a radiating device that BC Hydro wants to put on our homes and keep track of every little step we take by recording our power usage in a manner that you can detect whether we’re home, whether we’re not at home, whether we’re on vacation and if we are at home, what we do at home,” Latchford said. Ted Olynyk, spokesperson for BC Hydro, told Strathcona Regional
District directors last year that many of the concerns people have about smart meters are based on false information.
“The Internet is a great place for information, but not all of it is correct information,” he said. “There’s misinformation out there that BC Hydro
excited to be entering this new phase of our life in Campbell River and we hope to be fully operational by the end of August or early September, once the leasing agreement has been finalized and we have completed the necessary leasehold improvements and renovations,” said Bob Busch, general manager of operations for the BC SPCA. “We looked at a number of potential locations and we feel this is the right fit for our new centre.”
However, to move there would require rezoning which the SPCA hoped would be on the Aug. 13 council agenda. On Wednesday though, the city released its own news release stating that it was never informed of the SPCA’s plan and a rezoning application is not currently on the council meeting docket. “While the SPCA’s July 30 news release makes it sound like their intention to move into the Maritime Heritage Centre is a sure thing, we wish to
clarify that we have not been consulted on this proposal,” said Dave Morris, the city’s general manager of facilities and supply, in a news release. “Without formal details from either the Maritime Heritage Society or the SPCA, we are only in a position to confirm that the existing zoning and facility use agreement for this property do not permit the use proposed in the SPCA news release.” That’s because an agreement between the city and the Maritime

will know who you have over for dinner, when you’re eating dinner… because of smart meters.” Olynyk also tried to lay to rest fears over emis-
sions, noting the radiation levels from smart meters are so low that public places with Wi-fi pose potentially greater health risk than having a smart meter. But Latchford, who has a steel cable around her analog meter and a sign asking Corix to please not install a smart meter, doesn’t buy it. Latchford claims she knows someone with a health condition who has been advised by her doctor to stay away from wireless devices such as smart meters because they could prompt a stroke. Latchford said after she and her husband told Hydro last summer that they wanted to opt out of smart meters, the utility wrote her an e-mail, dated September 2012, which warned them that, “any obstruction or interference with the installation of the smart meter…could subject you to penalty and to the disconnection of your electrical service.” The Latchfords then sent a final refusal notice to BC Hydro early this year that they would not accept a smart meter. So
far, they have not heard back. Since then, Energy Minister Bill Bennett has announced an opt-out program which includes having the meter, but with the radio turned off or keeping the analog meter, but with an extra monthly charge for meter readings. Latchford said Bennett’s opt out is “a farce” and there’s no way to know if the radio is actually turned off, as what happened to Davis on Salt Spring Island. BC Hydro reports that 96 per cent of its customers have already switched over to smart meters and 1.8 million are in use across the province. The utility maintains that the smart meters will allow the corporation to get the lights back on faster in the event of a power outage because the meters will alert BC Hydro immediately of an outage. Hydro said the devices will also allow customers to save money on their hydro bills because the meters allow customers to see their daily energy use and make adjustments as necessary.
Heritage Society requires that the city-owned facility may only be used for maritime activities or as a public meeting space. Morris said the city recently received an inquiry from Maritime Heritage Society staff about the feasibility of housing an animal adoption centre in the building and using the park next to the building as a dog exercise area. On July 25, the city told the society that the proposal contravenes the intent of the occupation
agreement and the zoning does not allow for animal-related uses. But the SPCA is trying to move forward by interviewing candidates for branch manager and will hire additional staff once the manager is in place. On the SPCA’s Campbell River branch website, the mast head has already been changed to read Campbell River Education and Adoption Centre, with a message, “we are currently working on plans to open
our new Education and Adoption Centre in the Maritime Heritage Centre building at 621 Island Highway and we hope to be fully operational by early September.” Kathleen Embree, former manager of the local SPCA branch, posted on the Campbell River SPCA’s Facebook page that “renovations will start soon, with hopes of opening towards the end of August. Can’t be fast enough, but this town will be proud of what can and will be done.”

Campfires banned within the Coastal Fire Centre
CAMPBELL RIVER RIVER MIRROR MIRROR || FRIDAY, FRIDAY, AUGUST AUGUST 2, 2, 2013 2013 66 | | CAMPBELL
All open fires, including c ampf ires, are banned in all areas of the Coastal Fire Centre, except for the Fog Zone and Haida Gwaii. This step is being taken to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety, according to a Coastal Fire Centre information bulletin. The fire danger rat-
ing is currently “high” to “extreme” throughout the Coastal Fire Centre, which includes all of Vancouver Island and the adjacent B.C. mainland from as far inland as Chilliwack northwest to Pemberton and Tweedsmuir Provincial Park. With the current trend of warm and dry weather, wildfires in the region have displayed
aggressive behaviour and required additional fire suppression resources. It is also anticipated that the Coastal Fire Centre will experience lightning throughout the next week, which will likely produce more fires. Human-caused wildfires can divert critical resources and crews from responding to naturally occurring wildfires.
www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com
Open burning is prohibited throughout the Coastal Fire Centre. This prohibition applies to open fires of any size, fires with a burn registration number, industrial burning, fireworks, tiki torches, sky lanterns and burning barrels. The prohibition does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes, or to a portable
campfire apparatus with a CSA or ULC rating that uses briquettes, liquid or gaseous fuel, as long as the height of the flame is less than 15 centimetres. The open burning prohibition covers all BC Parks, Crown and private lands, but does not apply within the boundaries of local governments that have forest fire prevention bylaws and are
serviced by a fire department. Please check with local governments for any other restrictions before lighting a fire. Anyone found in violation of an open fire ban, including campfires, may be issued a ticket for up to $345. Anyone who causes a wildfire through arson or recklessness may be fined up to $1 million, spend up
to three years in prison and be held accountable for associated firefighting costs. This prohibition will remain in place until Oct. 15 or until the public is notified that it has been rescinded. For the latest information on wildfire activity, burning restrictions, road closures and air quality advisories, go to: www.bcwildfire.ca
City joins in with open fire ban Following the Coastal Fire Centre open fire ban, the City of Campbell River banned all open fires, except beach fires in specified areas, as of 12 noon on Thursday. “This means no open burning will be permitted in the City of Campbell River, except beach fires below the high tide line, between Maryland Road and 1st Avenue and at Dick Murphy Park until further notice,” says Fire Chief Ian Baikie. “This ban covers all recreational fires, including campfires on private lands.”
The public is reminded that beach fires must be no larger than 60 centimetres (24 inches) in diameter, below the high tide line and away from other driftwood. Fires must be attended by an adult with equipment to extinguish the fire (i.e. bucket). “The Campbell River Fire Department appreciates your assistance to help prevent wildfire in our community,” Chief Baikie adds. Contact the Campbell River Fire Department for inquiries at 250-2866266.

Crashing halt
A 53-year-old Campbell River man is being investigated for dangerous driving after crashing his white BMW into the concrete median on the Inland Island Highway, just north of Hamm Road. The accident occurred around 6 p.m. Tuesday and no one was injured. According to RCMP North Island Traffic Patrol, at least four motorists called police warning them of northbound BMW travelling at a high rate of speed and weaving in and out of traffic.
Centennial Park to get late-summer upgrade Upgrades to Centennial Park scheduled to begin later this summer will provide a revamped multi-use court and a natural playscape in this popular neighbourhood park. “The final design is a blend of elements from each of the conceptual designs and public input,” says Lynn Wark, the City’s parks project
supervisor. “Feedback from public consultation indicated a strong desire to keep the swings, retain all trees and protect the eagle tree, keep the tennis practice wall, develop a multi-sport court in between the two tennis courts and increase accessibility, all of which will be done.” Design details were
determined after extensive public consultation. Online and door-todoor surveys, a public open house and a neighbourhood open house were other methods used to gather public feedback about potential changes. Using natural elements, the park revamp will create a playscape designed to change from day to day and season to season.
The 3x3 Mortgage Centre August booking
The Centennial Park natural playscape will feature a large wooden eagle nest structure, wooden cookie stepping stones, boulders for climbing, a hand water pump and a small cobblestone water channel feature with movable walls for building dams. The central practice court at Centennial Park will be upgraded with a freshly paved and painted surface, new fencing and the addition of basketball hoops. Construction is expected to be completed by the end of November.

Foundation to replace spawning bed gravel www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com

A
project to rehabilitate a spawning bed on the Campbell River won’t have to wait long for positive results. “The fish coming in the fall will use this spawning bed right away,” said Martin Buchanan volunteer chairman of the Campbell River Salmon Foundation which is spearheading the First Island Chinook Spawning Gravel Placement Project. The foundation will lead the placement of spawning gravel on the upper Campbell River near the John Hart Dam Generating Station between Aug. 6-10. A ramp will be built into the river from the helicopter pad on the road into the generating station at the grassy area before the parking lot entrance. Spawning
Raffle assists volunteers The annual Volunteer Campbell River raffle draw is now in full swing, with tickets available at a price of $5 for three chances to win. Three exciting trips will be drawn, during the
gravel will be placed using an excavator in an area of the river near the upper island across from the public parking lot. Gravel trucks will deliver loads to be placed by heavy equipment. Due to safety concerns, access to the river upstream of the project will be restricted to swimming, tubing and kayaking. Traffic signage will be in place to ensure the safe and efficient movement of pedestrians, trucks and local traffic. The Canyon View Trail will remain open, however, users will be re-routed to the John Hart Generating Station road around the worksite. The project will restore areas historically used by Campbell River chinook providing an additional 2,000 square metres of spawning habitat. It is enough habitat to support 150-200 pairs of returning adults.
Much of the lower Campbell River is lacking the gravel qualities and quantities that chinook prefer. Gravel that existed historically has been washed downstream with the flood flows over the past 60 years. With no new gravel able to move from the upper watershed naturally due to the placement of three dams and reservoirs, spawning habitat needs to be replenished through periodic additions. The ultimate goal is to support 4,000 adult chinook, based on historical escapements and habitat capacity of the river and estuary. “The whole idea is to rebuild the chinook back to historic levels,” Buchanan said. Gravel replacement is an ongoing necessity on the Campbell River. Previous projects have been completed on other sites in the river in
previous years, including in the Elk Falls canyon. “It’s an ongoing project,” Buchanan said. The gravel is screened and washed before being loaded at the gravel pit. This reduces the potential for silt downstream during replacement. Environmental monitors are on site to monitor water quality and operations to ensure minimum impacts. All equipment will be clean, with only environmentally-friendly lubricants used. The access site will be deactivated and replanted. The project is being led by the Campbell River Salmon Foundation partnering with the Fish and Wildlife Restoration Program – a BC Hydro initiative to address issues on watersheds with BC Hydro facilities – BC Parks and Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

Our View
Pot referendum not a sure thing B.C. is famed around the world for its marijuana and people here buy, sell, grow and consume it mostly without fear of serious consequences from the law. Elections B.C. has approved Dana Larsen’s drive for a referendum on We say: But it decriminalizing marijuana possession — a reminder that pot remains illegal, could get young and unlike neighbouring Washington voters interested state, our province and country remain far away from laws that take drug in the process profits away from criminals. Any move to shake up drugs laws in this country is seen as a good thing. But pot smokers shouldn’t have a victory toke yet. It’s not clear this referendum will get off
the ground and, if it does, whether the province will give it the time of day. Similar to the ultimately successful drive to oust the HST, Larsen and his supporters need to collect signatures of at least 10% of elected voters in each of the 85 ridings. The gross mishandling of the HST by the BC Liberals made it easy to whip up voter anger — and voter turnout. Many people in B.C. may support laxer laws around possessing marijuana (or buying, selling and growing for that matter) but the issue is unlikely to inflame the same passions as a government perceived as dishonest and shifting tax burdens from business to citizens. The drive to create a marijuana referendum could help
to get voting-adverse young adults more engaged in the political life of B.C. At the risk of glib stereotyping, hopefully the referendum advocates stay focused and organized, and aren’t smoking what they are trying to legalize. If the referendum were to succeed anywhere in Canada, it should be B.C. But even if Larsen and his allies win, the victory will be non-binding and symbolic — the BC Liberals don’t have to support the vote. B.C. may have a permissive pot culture but this isn’t the U.S., where, for better or worse, voter propositions are binding. And unlike Canadian provinces, states like Washington and Colorado will defy their federal government based on the will of the people. – Black Press

City not out any taxes
We welcome your opinions on stories and issues published in our pages as well as issues of broader concern encountered elsewhere. Please keep your letters brief. We reser ve the right to edit for length and liability. E-mail them to editor@ campbellrivermirror.com
It’s probably time to straighten out some possible unknown facts with the general public and authorities, (that possibly don’t know), or are misinformed. Shipping containers purchased on anyone’s properties, (residential, commercial or industrial), are known by the tax assessor. Every two or three years they come by, “cultivating their crops,” so to speak, and take note of any shipping containers that may have appeared on your property. Accordingly they tax assess you on the shipping container along with the rest of the property. In late September every year, Econo Ezy Box Storage reports its stationary inventory of shipping containers on Spruce Street and Petersen Road to the tax assessor. The reason we have been reporting yearly is business has been going down in volume and so has our shipping container inventory. So don’t anyone think for a minute that any one with shipping containers in the community is getting a “free ride” when it comes to property taxes. They’re not. So lets see, is the city out any taxation? No! They are only out some up front fees which is beneficial to commercial property owners for a change. I just felt it was important to put this information on the table. Ted Arbour Campbell River
Hot and weezy Logger Mike has had better days
Conversations with Mike By Paul Rudan
From a distance, it looked our big man on the pole was fidgeting. Getting closer, it was clear he was downright uncomfortable. Hanging onto his climbing rope with one hand, the other furiously scratching about his head and chest, while his right foot scratched the back of his left leg, Big Logger Mike looked like a man tending a noseeum farm. “Got a bit of an itch?” I yelled up to him as I stopped below. “Waz th-hat?” he weezed. Good gravy, The man wasn’t in good shape! The eyes were beet-red, a snot-bubble popped from one nostril and the weezy voice was clear indication ol’ Mikey was suffering from allergies. I just shook my head at the pathetic
sight. “Th-tupid pollen,” he muttered to no one in particular. “Ever hear of antihistamine?” I asked sarcastically. “You know the drug store is right across the parking lot.” “Jus shaddap an gimme a break,” he replied, almost pleadingly. Wow, I’d never seen or heard Big Mike like this before. And that’s surprising since he’s survived all these years through the wind, rain, sleet, snow and hail. Then he started doing the full body scratch dance once again and it looked like he trying to use his tongue to tame the itch at the back of this throat. And that’s when I noticed he wasn’t quite as yellow. In fact he was a very pale yellow as if
someone had taken a bag of flower and dumped it over his head. But that wasn’t all! Feathers too clung from various body parts while others floated to the ground as he endlessly scratched. “What the...” I went to ask when I saw the final insult: The top of his widebrimmed yellow hat was smouldering and his singed hair smelled awful. “Don’t effven ahsk,” he replied between scratches. “Ah, come on Mikey, everyone knows you. They’re going to talk. What the heck happened?” “Well, it s-tharted out when the wind picked up yetherday and blew all the concrete bits from the Thaint Ann’s consthruction all over me – thas why I’m white...”
“What about your ol’ noggin?” I asked. “Lightin’ from da udder night. Got me right on da melon,” he said, as he wet a large yellow digit and gingerly touched his burnt scalp. I winced as I heard the hissing sound. But my curiosity was still not satisfied. “And what’s with the feathers?” “Well, afther the lightin’ came the rain which mithxed with the concrete bits to make a thsticky thsludge...then an eagle desthided to make a meal of a theegull and blew it up righth over my head... where ya goin’ I’m not finithed!” “To the drug store to get you some pills, calamine lotion and a big-ass towel, we can’t have you looking like that for the tourists!” paulr@campbellrivermirror.com

Visionary urban farmers leading a movement “Growing A Food Movement” in Campbell River has begun. The three small commercial farms now growing produce within our municipal boundaries are the forerunners of a local sustainable food movement. They are the first players in a visionary plan laid out by the Agriculture Advisory Steering Committee. The team’s submission was approved by council in 2012 and has since been included in the Sustainable Official Community Plan. As a community we have a long way to go before achieving the
plan’s first level goal. cultural Reserve Land Success would mean ten within city borders. The percent of what we con- land is generally owned sume would by timber be grown companies locally.

Two years ago an The astounding fact is agrologist, who was that we have more than retained by the Agri12,000 acres of Agriculture Advisory
group, examined soils throughout the area and particularly in the south end of the municipality. He stated that the core samples obtained showed very high nutrient levels and were comparable to the mainland’s delta. This was the amazing result of his research. For local potential farmers who wish to look more deeply into farming opportunities I would suggest the website, Linking Land And Farmers, (LLAF). It offers resources to both landowners and land seekers. The organization has
operated on Vancouver Island for15 years. In the past LLAF supported land matches. As more food security groups are working towards this goal LLAF has shifted focus and is now partnered with FarmLink in order to encourage matches through the Match Maker tool. This site brings together new farmers who are looking for land or mentorship with farm owners who have land available or expertise to share. Did You Know… we have a new “young
farmer” on Quadra Island, Etienne Cote. He is typical of the growth of a new generation of farmers whose plan is predicated on the strong market for ethically grown food.

I’ve never had a representative of Brenda Leigh’s quality before loss in any other area of operations. Can anyone in Campbell River make that claim? I think not. Brenda works tirelessly for her constituents - far beyond what should be expected of an area Director. When there was a mess at Hagel Park recently she was there first thing in the morning with garbage bags, broom and cleaning supplies. She didn’t want to call in staff on overtime so she got volunteers to help her clean up. Have any of you in Campbell River had that happen with your elected representatives? Brenda Leigh is by far one of the best representatives of any jurisdic-

I have lived in Thunder Bay, Sudbury, Kapuskasing, Ottawa, Toronto/ North York and Scarborough and have never had an elected representative of the quality of Brenda Leigh.

New horse camps and connecting trail in Sayward Valley a first for Vancouver Island
S
aturday, July 20 was a day to celebrate for members of the Back Country Horsemen Society of British Columbia (BCHBC) and all equine enthusiasts who enjoy trail riding on Vancouver Island. On this day, more than 25 BCHBC members from across Vancouver Island, along with an additional 40-plus dignitaries and guests, gathered to celebrate the official grand opening of the Memekay River site of the Salmon Brewster Equine Campsites and Trail Corridor Project near Sayward. BCHBC worked with Recreation Sites and Trails BC in Campbell River to have the first Vancouver Island Crown Land equine-friendly public recreation campsites and trail designated. “This wonderful facility is an example of what can happen when people have a vision, when they work in a spirit of community collaboration, and they put in hundreds of hours of volunteer effort in order to see that vision become reality,” said Phil Kent, Mayor of Duncan and a representative of the Island Coastal Economic Trust (ICET), which donated $40,000 to the $107,000 project. Other major contributors included the Coast Sustainability Trust ($20,000) and Horse Council BC ($10,000). Significant ‘in kind’ donations were also made by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations ($27,000) and Western Forest Products, as well as

other suppliers and contractors too numerous to list. The approximately five-acre (two-hectare) Memekay Horse Camp features 11 campsites that are about 70 feet in length to accommodate horse trailers and recreational vehicles. Each campsite has two horse corrals, plus there is a group shelter with picnic tables. Other amenities include outhouses, manure containment areas and non-potable water for horses. The 1.5 acre (.5 ha.) Brewster Horse Camp is more open camping and has two larger corrals. The Salmon Brewster Trail Corridor — a 40-kilometre trail through working forest and along historic railroad logging road grades — will connect the two campsites. While the campsites are completed and parts of the trail corridor are open, there is still work to be done to upgrade and clear the overgrown trail corridor. In this region, trail maintenance will be ongoing and managed by BCHBC volunteers. The project was the dream of retired rancher Rick Phye of Black Creek (formerly

The project was three years in development and included extensive biological and archaeological assessments. In addition to securing various grants, community support and fundraising from BCHBC’s North Island Chapter, volunteers dedicated more than 1,100 hours of work, assisting with everything from trail clearing to corral construction, grant applications, and much more. In his congratulatory speech, Duncan MacTavish, district recreation officer, Recreation Sites and Trails BC, Ministry of Forests Land and Natural Resource Operations, recognized the First Nations traditional territory and their support of the project. He also thanked Western Forest Products, BC Timber Sales, BC Forest Services, the Agricultural Land Commission, and the grazing leaseholders, Mark and Dan Johnson for their cooperation and support of the project. “The mandate of Recreation Sites and Trails BC is to protect, manage and develop recreational opportunities on Crown Land, outside of parks and municipalities and these campsites and
trails are in a ‘working’ forest,” explained MacTavish. “As such, the 40-kilometre trail may change over time but because it designated an official recreation trail, it will always be there and users’ ‘right to ride’ will always be respected.” On behalf of the 22,000 members of Horse Council BC, representative Susan Harrison, congratulated the BCHBC and other stakeholders for their collaboration, stewardship and volunteer spirit. She added with a laugh, “I can see an episode of the TV show ‘Mantracker’ being filmed here!” Ybo Plante, president of BCHBC provincial, stressed that this project is proof that Back Country Horsemen of BC is ‘more than a riding club.’ “I am very proud of what has been accomplished here,” explained Plante. “I liken the volunteer and collaborative effort that has gone into this project to what it takes to have a well-trained horse. It is a step-by-step process that comes together only with a great deal of time, patience and perseverance. “That’s what this project represents.” One guest, who described herself as a certified ‘horse-aholic’ summed up the sentiments of all event attendees by saying: “This place is truly a gift. I see it as a symbol of the human spirit working together to create something truly special for fellow ‘horseaholics’ today and for the future.”

of Sayward) and his riding companion, Gerald Whalley, who is also from Sayward and is now the electoral area director of the Strathcona Regional District. Over the last five-years, Phye and Whalley have dedicated countless hours to scouting, riding and walking the Salmon Brewster Trail. They have slashed through brush and painstakingly established GPS coordinates in an effort to produce trail maps and make it accessible to advanced level riders. The next phase will see trail improvements in order for all levels of riders to be able to enjoy the trail. John King, past chair of the North Vancouver Island (NVI) chapter of BCHBC explained that Phye was persistent in his efforts to get Back Country Horsemen on board with the project. “Rick had the vision of turning this area into an equestrian trail and campsite facility to take advantage of the wonderful scenery and opportunities for equestrian use that this area offers. At first, due to the shear magnitude of the project, we declined his offer...but in 2010 we said ‘Let’s do it!’”

A volunteer hacks away at yellow iris during last year’s removal efforts.
Taking aim at invasive iris
www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com
Plans are in place for a second attack on yellow flag-iris at the Baikie Island Nature Reserve in early August. The iris is an invasive plant that is also listed as a noxious weed under the BC Weed Control Act and the city is anxious to address the infestation before it gets any bigger. Yellow flag iris is an aquatic plant that can grow in both saltwater
and freshwater. It spreads by seed and by underground stems. Introduced to North America a century ago as a showy garden ornamental, the plant has spread widely into natural areas. Residents are encouraged to refrain from planting it. “The iris forms very dense clusters and crowds out the natural
variety of estuary plants. Wh e n bi o d i v e r s it y declines, the whole system becomes less productive and the estuary’s ability to support a wide range of wildlife species is negatively affected,” says Ross Milnthorp, the city’s general manager of parks, recreation and culture. “In the Campbell River estuary, plants on B.C.’s endangered list are at

risk from the spreading iris,” adds Terri Martin, the city’s environmental co-ordinator. In this year’s iris removal efforts, invasive plant specialists will use a small excavator to dig up the densest infestation areas. The machine will be walked in on plywood to the far end of the iris patch where the removal will begin. Ground crews have already cut off as many of the iris seed heads as possible to prevent seed dispersal. As the iris patches are dug up, soil attached to the plants will be recovered by crews, who will also work to salvage native plants. The iris will be loaded into a trailer and disposed of at the dump. One month after the iris removal, hand hoeing will remove any new iris sprouts, and the area will be assessed to determine if replanting with native vegetation is required. This July, a small patch of iris near the Myrt Thompson Trail was hand-dug over two days by a six-person crew from Strategic Group working under the direction of Greenways Land Trust. “Strategic have continued to be a great supporter of environmental projects in Campbell River, and we were able to collect 1,080 kilograms of iris by hand,” says Cynthia Bendickson, Greenways’ volunteer co-ordinator. Also in July and for the second year in a row, yellow-flag iris flowers were removed from plants in a portion of the ditch along Petersen Road. “When the ditch is scheduled for maintenance, we’ll dig up the iris and landfill it. Until that time, our plan is to ensure that no seeds are allowed to spread the infestation downstream,” says Drew Hadfield, the city’s transportation manager. “Efforts to control the iris are in line with the city’s recently adopted invasive plant species management policy,” says Coun. Larry Samson, who holds Council’s environment portfolio.

The Campbell River Booster Juice Bantam A2 Ravens may have lost a key battle but they worked hard to ensure they didn’t lose the war. The Ravens lost the Island Banner to Nanaimo on July 13 by a score of 8-6. This setback could have been the start of a significant downward spiral as the team prepared for the Provincial Championships but the Ravens coaches kept the team focused during practices at the outdoor lacrosse box before heading to Delta to take on the best in B.C. July 19-21. The Ravens drew a short-straw, facing Surrey in a game starting at 7:15 a.m. on July 19. The team was joined by Kari Martynyk from the Bantam C Ravens, who were eliminated from the playoffs the prior weekend. Surrey came out running and gunning as they jumped out to a 4-0 lead by the middle of the second period but a remarkable comeback saw the Ravens win 7-5. Goalie Will McLean was the Ravens game MVP. With the first game in the books, the team had a long break before playing its second game Friday evening against Por t Mo o dy. Por t Moody started the scoring but goals by Quin Nelson, Liam Rivett and a Reilly Doney and Mason Osterhout-Code combination carried the Ravens to a 5-3 win. The game MVP was Nolan Fair.

seemed to become very motivated in the dressing room between periods and came out hungry, scoring two quick goals. But the Ravens
pulled ahead with a power play goal by Lontayao. Shortly after this, a Kelowna parent was ejected for having alcohol in the stands. That may have been the same par-
ent who was taunting McLean. Regardless, Kelowna kept coming hard and it was 6-5 Ravens at the end of the second. But Kelowna’s parade to the penalty box con-
tinued and cost them a coach from their bench. Kelowna had a player in the penalty box and got trying to pull its goalie when Nelson rolled the ball across the goal line into the empty
net – 7-5 Ravens win. Game number four MVP was Mason OsterhoutCode. In the final game, the Ravens went head-tohead with Richmond. By the end of the first
period, the score was 5-2 for the Ravens. Richmond crept a little closer as a rebound off the end boards hit McLean’s back and spun across the goal-line. But Lontayao restored TELUS STORE OR AUThORizED DEALER

the three-goal lead making it 6-3 Ravens at the end of the second. Again on the power play, Rivett put the biscuit in the basket to put the Ravens up 7-3. Unfortunately, shortly after that Matt Leard was injured by an undetected high stick. The force of the impact was so great that a nameplate came off of the Richmond player’s stick and was found in Leard’s helmet. Paramedics arrived and took Leard via ambulance to nearby Delta Hospital for assessment. Both teams went to their respective dressing rooms while Leard was attended to by safety personnel and paramedics. Once play resumed Doney scored another power play goal to make it 8-3 but Richmond responded and got within one, to make it 8-6 Ravens. In a move born of desperation and pulling out all stops, Richmond called for a measurement of McLean’s pads. Each team captain, McLean and the referee left the floor and went to the referees’ change room. The leg pads were confirmed to be legal so Richmond was assessed a delay of game penalty. As time wound down, and with the Richmond goalie on the bench for the extra attacker, Nelson fed the ball to Fair. The Ravens captain made no mistake as he scored into the emptynet goal to make the final score 9-6 for the Ravens in this gold medal game. Leard was able to return to the arena and watched the last minute of the game. He was selected Game number five MVP. After Richmond received silver medals, the Booster Juice Bantam A2 Ravens were presented with their gold medals. The warrior tournament divisional MVP was awarded to Ravens goalie McLean. C oach To dd Fair said he was proud of the entire team for its accomplishment and thanked all of its sponsors and supporters throughout the season.

It’s the dog days of summer. The Campbell River Dog Fanciers Society hosts its 29th annual Canadian Kennel Club dog show this weekend at Nunns Creek Park. The public is invited, to come out and cheer on their favourite dogs as they go head-to-head to be named best of their breed and at the same time, earn points toward their championship title. The show is free to the public and features three all-breed championship shows, four rally obedience trials (one each on Saturday and Sunday), and one obedience trial on Monday. Cathy Merrithew, one of the organizers, said 210 dogs are expected to compete. The judges who will be looking at the dogs’ movement, their coat texture, teeth and body structure, overall balance, as well as attitude and behaviour based on their breed. The judges are coming from Oregon, Ontario, Alberta, the B.C. Interior and from as close as Duncan. Participants in the show are coming from as far away as California, Oregon, Washington state, Alberta, and the Lower Mainland. Campbell River’s event kicks off nine straight days of dog shows on the Island (three in Courtenay and three in Victoria), which give serious competitors the chance to finish off their titles within the week. To become a champion, a dog needs 10 points. Merrithew’s 10-yearold whippet Niles is already a champion but has been unable to compete since he was neutered. This year Niles will be able to return to the ring because the Canadian Kennel Club has sanctioned a new category – for spayed and neutered breeds. “We’re pretty excited about that because we have a lot of beautiful dogs that are spayed or neutered,” she said.

New volunteer program launches in the Beaver Lodge Forest Lands
H
ave you ever been walking, running, or riding trails and noticed that the Beaver Lodge needs a bit of “TLC?” Now’s your chance to become more involved. Greenways Land Trust, who just signed a trail maintenance agreement with the Ministry of Forests in April, is launching an Adopta-Trail program in the Beaver Lodge Forest Lands (BLFL). This program encour-
ages trail users to take ownership and promote our local trails. Many people are already unsung heroes of the BLFL. This is an opportunity for these heroes to gain some recognition and encourage more volunteers to join the recreation community and build trail stewardship. You may be wondering what you are required to do if you adopt. The mission of the program is “Inspect, Maintain,
2x2.5 1st Prize $5000!! CR Rotary Ducky Got your duck yet? For information call 250-287-0441
Report.” Inspect if there is anything out of place, vandalised, or structures being built when walking your trail. Maintain the trail by keeping it clear of garbage, debris, vegetation and trail brushing with hand tools. Report your activities and observations to GLT. Your help will ensure that the Beaver Lodge Forest Lands stay healthy, beautiful, and safe! This is a great opportunity for school groups, recreation groups/clubs, youth groups, businesses, families or individuals. It is a one year com-
mitment and they won’t send you out unprepared – before starting you will receive a thorough orientation and the tools that you may need. For more information, contact Greenways Land Trust at 205-287-3785 or e-mail stewardship@ greenwaystrust.ca. You can also find more information online at www.greenwaystrust. ca including a map of adoptable trails and registration form. BC Hydro provided funding for this pilot project through the Community Relations Grant program.
If you love the Beaver Lodge Forest Lands then a new program will allow you take greater care of it.
These ladies have warm hearts A local charity branch is making things just a little bit warmer for cancer patients at Campbell River Hospital. The Campbell River chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star recently made a donation to the hospital library and purchased a blanket warmer for the Cancer Care Department. The library provides resource materials to patients and their families in the treatment and fight against cancer, while a warm blanket helps to provide a sense of comfort and calmness. From left, Faith Brooks (Registered Nurse, cancer care at Campbell River Hospital), Margaret Sylvester, Eveline Newman, and Valeria Cowie all of the Order of the Eastern Star, and Stacey Marsh, executive director of the Campbell River Hospital Foundation, with the new blanket warmer that the Eastern Star purchased for the cancer care department at the hospital.

Drive Smart BC How Heavy is Your Camper?
2x14 Chev drive safe
One of my friends stopped to visit last weekend and showed me his truck and camper. You should write about this because people need to know how to be safe he said. He had switched from a one ton truck with single rear tires to one with dual rear tires. It made a big difference in stability and gave him a larger margin between the actual weight and the maximum weight allowed for the vehicle. He had done his research because he knew that he had to weigh the fully loaded unit and then make sure that the weight on each axle and the total weight could not exceed the amounts shown on the vehicle’s capacity decal. He also knew that there was a maximum weight shown on the sidewalls of his tires and that the axle weights must not exceed the tire capacities. You can have your vehicle weighed free of charge at any government weigh scale, often at any time of the day, whether the scale is open or not. Simply position the front axle on the scale pad, record the weight, repeat for the rear axle and then add the two figures for the total. An RV dealer warned me once that camper manufacturers often under reported the unit’s weight and all of the food, water, camping equipment and other supplies added more weight than people realize. Using a scale is the only way to be sure. Vehicles that fail to obey weight rules will be ordered off of the highway by police or Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement personnel. They must be unloaded sufficiently to comply before they may proceed again. There is also the possibility of fines in addition to the removal order. The author is a retired constable with many years of traffic law enforcement experience. To comment or learn more, please visit www. drivesmartbc.ca.

With the manuscript finally completed, Cortes Island author Ruth Ozeki was in New York City, ready to deliver it to the publisher. Still, after five years of work, something wasn’t right with the book. Ozeki knew it and suspected her editor knew it as well. It was March 2011, just days before a massive earthquake and subsequent tsunami devastated Japan. The disaster shocked the world and shook Ozeki to the core. “I suddenly realized that an event of such magnitude…my book was no longer relevant,” says Ozeki, who immediately scoured the internet to check on her family and friends living there. Fortunately, they were okay, but the disaster also erased any thought of turning in the manuscript. In Ozeki’s mind, there’s Japan before the earthquake and Japan after the earthquake. Her book, revolving around a Japanese girl, was written in the “before” stage so she returned to the “mothership,” the home she shares with husband Oliver Kellhammer on Cortes, to begin the rewrite. The result, released in March, is “A Tale for the Time Being,” a literary achievement now nominated for the international Booker Prize.

Cortes Island author Ruth Ozeki is up for the prestigious Booker Prize.
“Long-form fiction is all about patience – in 2011, I knew it wasn’t right. It wasn’t ready,” she says during a phone interview from her Cortes home. Ozeki was born and raised in New Haven, Connecticut, to an American father and Japanese mother. She has strong ties to Japan, and as a student, Ozeki studied, worked and travelled extensively throughout Asia. In 1985, she returned to New York to begin a career in film and television production. Ten
years later, she produced “Halving the Bones,” an award-winning autobiographical film, that tells the story of Ozeki’s journey to bring her grandmother’s remains home from Japan. Her first book, “My Year of Meats,” published in 1998, also received awards and accolades from critics. Her second book “All Over Creation” did even better, capturing the 2004 American Book Award as well as the Willa Literary Award for Contemporary Fiction. When Ozeki wasn’t
writing, splitting time between homes in New York and Cortes, flying off to speaking engagements, and regularly practicing Zen Buddhism – she was ordained as a Soto Zen priest in 2010 – Ozeki started thinking about her third book. It would focus on the life of a Japanese schoolgirl, but five years later, the manuscript wasn’t nearly what Ozeki had imagined. Perhaps, she thought, her editor could help provide guidance or insight. Instead, the forces of nature took over, causing disaster on one side of the planet and, in a way, creating inspiration for a writer on the other side. Back on Cortes, Ozeki embarked on the re-write and was also inspired by her hubby who suggested the book be semi-autobiographical. “I needed to respond to the events in a more direct way, that was not entirely fictional,” she says. “My husband Oliver suggested I put myself in as a semi-fictional character…it was the way.” A Tale for the Time Being tells the story of a woman living on a small West Coast island who finds a package washed up on the beach. Among the items is a diary written by a Japanese teenager 10 years earlier. The story then weaves back and forth between North America and Japan. A Toronto Star
critic describes the story as one, “that dances in all worlds at once.” And now, it’s one of 13 books vying for the prestigious Booker Prize. Ozeki feels honoured by the recognition, but she’s quick to credit the publishing team at Viking Penguin. “On the publishing side, they work so hard – my editor, the art director, sales – this is an occasion for gratitude,” she says. Quick notes n Ozeki and her husband split their time between New York City and Cortes Island where they bought a home in 1997. “I’m happily ensconced in Whaletown writing. This is as good as it gets,” she says. n The author is a big fan of Words on the Water, the annual writer’s festival in Campbell River. “It’s one of the nicest writers’ festivals. They do a great job,” says Ozeki. n Ozeki’s new book is earning international praise and she’s travelling the globe to promote the book. Earlier this month she was in Scotland, in September she flies to Australia for two writers’ festivals, returns to the U.S. that month for a reading series in New Jersey, then flies to another festival in Indonesia, and comes back to the States in October for another speaking engagement at the University of Wisconsin…phew!

Alice May Forsberg passed away on July 29, 2013 at the Campbell River Hospital at the age of 90 years. Alice is predeceased by her husband Clarence Dennis. She is survived by her two sons Bruce and Russell (Lara) and two grandchildren Mikael and Albin.

You have a wonderful time at home with family members. You’ll need to do a bit of organizing, though. pISCES You aren’t able to stay still for a single moment, and you have lots to say as well. You spend a lot of time talking with people of diverse origins.
Today’s Answers
aRIES It wouldn’t be surprising if you decide to work on some big projects in your yard during your vacation. A lot of your attention will be taken up with a family event. taURUS You feel the need to get out of the house more, to develop your circle of friends, and build more dynamic relationships with those you love. You have lots of projects on the horizon. GEMINI Your health could slow you down a bit or you might need to catch up on a few hours of sleep. You are very busy at work, but you’ll be generously rewarded. CaNCER You need to make a few changes to your social circle so that you can experience more pleasure with your real friends. After that, a nice trip might be organized. lEo You could cultivate some extremely lucrative real estate deals. The value of your home will double with a few renovations, or you experience something that helps you appreciate your love nest a little more. VIRGo The idea of a trip starts to take shape. You may even envisage a form of pilgrimage. You are very openminded, spiritually.

The Pacific Salmon Foundation held its second annual Pink Salmon Festival last Saturday at Robert Ostler Park. Foundation volunteer Larry E. Stefanyk was the driving force behind the festival which celebrates the return of the pink salmon to its spawning grounds and promotes pink salmon as a sustainable seafood choice. Pictured top, Rob Harris (with Robert Nissila and Brenda Harris beside him) serves up some pink salmon to Kristy Ledevehat. Above left, Young Weston Rentz, 14-months-old, was thrilled to find the Campbell River dragon boat team’s drums. Above right, Zazi, Felicia and Christina Tymchyshyn are happy to try out the print making table.
