City lifts watering restrictions

MASSIVE $2.1 MILLION WALL UNDER CONSTRUCTION AT CAMPBELL RIVER DUMP

Water restrictions put into place earlier this week have been lifted. “The restrictions were put in place because extremely high peak water demand was occurring twice a day during this week’s hot weather. The amount of water being drawn from the community system reached a high of 940 litres per second. The safe limit for community use is 700 litres per second, to still leave enough water supply for fire protection,” Fire Chief Ian Baikie said in a press release. “We extend a huge thank-you to everyone in the community for their efforts to reduce demand during peaks times, especially evenings,” says Jennifer Peters, the city’s utilities manager. “We appreciate that it’s inconvenient to cut back on water use, especially when it’s so Continued on Pg. 3

hot and dry. It’s a relief to everyone to announce that, as long as we can keep our use within the threshold that allows for enough water for fire fighting, people served by the Campbell River water system can now go back to normal watering times.” The sprinkling restrictions allow residents to water lawns during these times: n Odd-numbered house addresses may water only on odd-numbered days from before 7 a.m. and after 7 p.m. (midnight to 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. to midnight). n Even-numbered house addresses may water only on even-numbered days from before 7 a.m. and after 7 p.m. (midnight to 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. to midnight). “Although the restrictions are now lifted, we ask that people continue to be vigilant about water use so we can continue to enjoy more convenient watering times and still maintain enough water supply for fire fighting,” Peters adds. “With cooler temperatures forecast, we’re hoping the change in weather will help reduce the demand for water too.” The city suggests following these guidelines for water conservation and lawn care: n Mow lawns to a length of three inches or more, reducing moisture loss and sunburn. n Set sprinklers to water for 20 minutes or less per lawn watering session. n Water for a maximum of two sessions per week, encouraging deep root systems. n Recognize shade provides the best solution for sunburned lawn with trees/shrubs. n Provide good aeration and drainage to create a healthy lawn. The city will continue to monitor community water use throughout the summer.

Area D water system problems next on the agenda Even a warm summer evening in the dog days of summer couldn’t keep people away from last week’s ADRRA (Area D Residents and Ratepayers Association) meeting. About 50 ADRRA members filled the Oyster Bay Resort meeting hall to discuss a number of local issues including the state of the Area D water system which, according to a consultant’s report, suffers from a number of deficiencies. Association President, Rod Nugent, presented the research he had undertaken on the water system which services 1,200 homes in northern Area D and is purchased from the city of Campbell River. Nugent’s presentation was drawn from

information contained in a 2012 engineering study of the system by Koers and Associates Consulting Engineers that was prepared for the Strathcona Regional District. Contained in the study were examples of numerous deficiencies related to both water pressure for routine domestic usage and significant water volume shortfalls which could severely impact fire fighting. While York and Finch Roads are most negatively affected by low water pressure, the water flow deficiency, measured in litres per second, at the Ocean Grove School was reported to be slightly over half of the water flow that was recommended for a school

location. The study also revealed that over 70 per cent of the water pipes were made of asbestos concrete, a commonly used material 25 years ago but no longer recommended due to its brittle nature and susceptibility to corrosion. The study recommended a phased replacement of the pipe with a more durable material. All told, the necessary water system repairs were estimated to cost about $3 million. “The demand for water always peaks in the summer. Let’s hope that our fire department isn’t left high and dry, literally,”

their water,” Nugent said. “It’s like paying your hydro or cell phone bill based on the assessed value of your house rather than how much electricity you use or how many phone calls you make.” Several people in attendance at the rater payers’ meeting suggested that water meters be installed so that everyone could pay their fair share based on how much water they actually use.

Nugent said. Nugent said he also found that since 2010 the Area D Water System has been following an unusual water billing practice of charging customers for their water not based on how much water they use but partly on the value of their property. “This practice seems both fundamentally unfair and wasteful since the majority of homeowners have no financial incentive to conserve water and people with higher land values who pay the most have no control over the cost of

Residents voice opposition to development of city’s downtown waterfront property KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Campbell River residents are speaking out against designs aimed at guiding development on the city’s valuable waterfront property. Most are opposed because they want the city’s 3.5 acres between Discover y Harbour Shopping Centre and the ferry terminal to be converted into public space and not developed for urban use. Leona Adams pointed out that at public workshops on Nov. 12 and 14 of last year, the majority of people agreed they want the site to be converted for public use. “Public opinion is for the 3.5 acres to not be urban or developed,” Adams wrote in a letter to city council. “Public opinion is for public land with a public facility such as an aquarium and teaching centre. A change for the 3.5 acres to include urban development in the OCP (official community plan) paves the way for a change in zoning, given the zoning bylaw must match the OCP.” At council’s July 8 meeting, city staff put forward a list of changes to the city’s official community plan to act as guiding principles for waterfront development. “ These guidelines can be used to guide development activity, and assess development proposals when they come before council for consideration as development permit applications,” said Ross Blackwell, the city’s land use

manager. The guiding principles, which were recommended by consulting firm Coriolis Consulting are: connecting the property to the rest of the downtown core; emphasizing pedestrian priority over vehicles; consideration of public amenity space; consideration of residential and mixed use development with significant public park space; ensuring a First Nations identity; and having public views to the water. City staff ’s draft changes to the official community plan include designing waterfront development to fit in with the existing form and character and ensuring it is pedestrian-oriented. With respect to views, the changes dictate that new development should enhance street end views towards Discovery Passage, enhance

views of the urban waterfront from Discovery Passage, and contribute to the attractiveness for public streets and open spaces. But resident Darlyne Shane reiterated Adams’ point of view that council should not even be considering development on the waterfront parcel. “As council is well aware, the feedback from the open houses and the charrette have shown overwhelmingly that the public desires to maintain the 3.5 acre site zoned (as) public assembly or equivalent and that there be absolutely no development other than a public facility,” Shane wrote to council. “Please keep this in mind during your OCP amendment deliberations.” Resident Lynda Belter agreed. “The citizens of Camp-

bell River have argued and fought to keep this valuable waterfront property in the public domain for all of us to enjoy,” Belter wrote. “Those views have not changed. I would suggest that it is time to take the bull by the horns and use some of these tax revenues to create the green space that would be enjoyed in particular by the permanent occupants of Berwick (the new seniors complex across the street), the temporary guests of the Comfort Inn (being built beside Berwick) and the citizens of Campbell River.” Council, taking into account residents’ correspondence, has deferred city staff ’s waterfront development guidelines to the city’s Advisory Planning and Environment Commission for consideration and advice before making any further decisions.

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

TURN YOUR LOVE OF COOKING INTO A NEW CAREER Professional Cook 1 & 2 start this September

Tina Tang inspires chefs of all ages. The young chef got her start in North Island College’s kitchens while she was still in high school starting her professional cook training through NIC’s dual credit program. The program allows high school students to get a head start on trades, career, or university studies courses before graduating high school. For Tina, it meant being able to develop her passion and a substantial chef’s resume before her 18th birthday.

PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT She completed the first two levels of her professional cook training at NIC, before moving to the Okanagan for an opportunity to train in BC’s wine capital under Chef Willi Franz. This year, she completed her Professional Cook 3 training and will become certified a Red Seal chef while working as a Chef de Partie at the Gray Monk Estate Winery in Kelowna. Tina also placed third in the Canadian Chefs Federation Junior Chef Culinary competition this spring, and intends to compete for gold next year. “I could have not done this without the support of my instructors Chef Lilyholm and Chef Hansen and, of course, all the financial support from the NIC Foundation,” she says. North Island College offers Professional Cook 1, 2, and 3 training in Campbell River, with Cook 1 training offered in Port Alberni. In Cook 1 students learn the essentials of professional cooking in 28 weeks, preparing and cooking stocks, soups, sauces, vegetables, meat, fish, poultry, and desserts. Cook 2 offers more advanced 14-week training with menu creation, à la carte production and presentation, as well as dining room service at the Third Course bistro.

Quality-trained cooks with a good attitude are always needed, but they are in particularly high demand right now,” David Lang, Professional Cook Instructor

Our View

Resolution elusive for a hot issue For starters, kudos to the BC SPCA and the dedicated people who work for it. Like emergency responders, police and any number of other public servants, they get We say: It’s important work done in the most trying circumstances imaginable. shocking such Speaking of trying circumstances animal cruelty for an average dog, how about a mid-afternoon, mid-July sidewalk continues in Castlegar? We’ve been sweltering through a record setting heatwave in Southern B.C. for a couple of weeks and still, people are walking their dogs like they

always do. Here’s a sincere request, one the SPCA would most likely support: please stop it. Leave your dog at home where they know how to stay cool. Even if it’s an expensive, rare breed that you love to show off‚ why not leave home without him or her if you’re headed into the heat? Going somewhere in the car or truck? These kind of warnings go double. It’s shocking that such extreme animal cruelty can arise out of ignorance. Of course (most) people don’t intend to torture their pets, but that’s exactly what all-too-often

happens to a dog or cat in a parked vehicle in the sunlight. Even in the wake of the highly publicized deaths of six dogs in a lower mainland truck some weeks back, SPCA’s are responding to high number of animal rescues from parked vehicles. Is this a message you’re tired of hearing, because you hear it every summer? Of course it is! But as long these public acts of neglect and, yes, cruelty continue, so will the pleading that they stop. – Black Press

Letters

Tackling social issues Social issues are perhaps the most difficult for a city council to deal with but arguably also amongst the most important for the long-term health of a community. In the absence of forward thinking and strong leadership, these issues often become the subject of discussion, but not much action. Several months ago, some in our community took umbrage with a “rag mag” taking cheeky pokes at our beautiful little corner of retirement heaven. We felt uncomfortable with an outsider’s notions that “Campbell River has a strange mix of high unemployment and low household income, mixed with high average real estate prices.” But did our discomfort make it any less true, and was the situation in any way mitigated by the marvels of soaring eagles and frolicking orcas as our Mayor’s flippant response at the time seemed to suggest? Shortly thereafter, we were treated to a report about BC schools in which some of ours, while not at the absolute bottom of the heap, were identified as being embarrassingly deficient. Clearly this is not something that a Council can influence directly, but it is part of a larger disturbing picture; recall only the handwringing when the city could not Continued on Pg. 9

The biz has changed so much and now it’s my turn

Paul Rudan No, really

A metal pica pole and an old paper column header sit in the top drawer of my desk. I don’t use either any more although the pica pole – a thin ruler – makes for a fine Slim Jim if I was a car thief. I’m not, but I have used it over the years to bail out more than a few drivers who have locked their keys in the vehicles outside the Mirror office. “Misspent youth,” I joke to the drivers after popping open the door with the help of the trusty pica pole. The drivers always looked at me with skepticism, but they were always glad to have their keys back without paying a tow truck driver 50 bucks. The pica pole – picas are a unit of measurement, one-sixth of an inch – and

the column header were used way back when we still “pasted up” the newspaper. This was in the days when there was no such thing as paginating a newspaper on a personal computer. Heck, we barely had computers when I started in this industry in 1987. At my first job at the Clinton (Ontario) News-Record we had Compugraphic typesetters that cost five grand a piece and had a screen far smaller than an iPad. All it did was typeset and even then our floppy discs had to be sent to another typesetter for processing. After that, copy would come out of a huge machine, which would then be waxed, folded, cut and pasted onto the “page dummies.” The dummies were then photographed

and made into plates that would then go on the press to produce the next edition. Today, everything is done digitally. Pica poles, paper standing heads, waxers, Compugraphics and much more is long gone from journalism. When I first started, each day began with opening a stack of mail. It wasn’t long before the mail was replaced by a pile of rolled-up fax messages. We still have a fax machine in the office, but it’s seldom used. The faxes also stopped coming en masse around 2000. They gave way to e-mails and now Facebook and Twitter messages. Cell phones were also in their infancy back in the “dark ages.” They looked more like oversized walkie-talkies and they were only useable if you happened

to live in a big city. Today, everyone has a cell phone which is basically their home computer too. So many changes and more change will come. Change is coming for me as well. Next Friday will be last day at the Mirror. I never intended to remain at this job for nearly 25 years, but it’s really tough to leave the most beautiful place in Canada, made even better by the fantastic people who make this place home. Campbell River will remain home, but it’s time to seek new opportunities. In my final column, next week, I will provide a snapshot of the many great memories of my years at the Mirror. paulr@campbellrivermirror.com

find a niggardly $10,000 to continue the successful portable homeless shelter program while at the same time “wasting” many tens of thousands on much less socially valuable expenditures. More recently, in the context of seemingly interminable inaction about a new seniors center, our council discussed the information from a course that one of our councilors had attended, that co-locating seniors with the younger members of our society, was not only of social benefit, but also of considerable psychological and physiological benefit to both our youth and our seniors. Hallelujah that these concepts, which for many years have been widely published and globally accepted, finally trickled through to the people charged with charting the long-term future of our community. Fast forward to 10 July when our council showed great concern with a report highlighting a lengthy list of the things of which we, as a supposedly caring com-

munity, have little to be proud. Social problems such as those identified by the North Island Health Officer do not develop over night; they are the result of longterm inaction and lack of forward thinking about, and attention to, the entire community, not just the vocal minority. In the same week, with the culmination of the Area-D gong show, we were also treated to a replay of the kindergarten behavior of a mayor leading from behind by disagreeing with council decisions that he should have been able to influence at the table – but couldn’t – and a council thumbing their nose at him through an open letter of rebuttal. Didn’t we spend tens of thousands of dollars in consultant fees at the beginning of their term to tell them that they had to play nice in the sandbox? The picture that has been clear for a long time, and which is now being refocused in the run-up to municipal elections, is that of a failure of strategic direction and leadership. Petty squabbling and one-upmanship has

no place in a council that needs to function as a high performance team. And while some in the community point to individual councilors by name and blame them for the mayor’s inability to get his good ideas implemented, this strikes me as the height of naïve coffee-shop rhetoric. Leaders are required to lead, and good leaders do not blame their team-members when that leadership fails. We need a council, and a new leadership, that has the skills, competencies, and abilities to think and act strategically in the best interests of the community. Although in November we will cast a vote and call it an election, the people of this city will in fact be “hiring” a CEO and a Board of Directors. As part of the job interview, let’s ask the prospective candidates why they are qualified for the position; then let’s hire the people with the most skills, and not just those with the loudest voices or the biggest cheering sections.

Effective yesterday, all open burning (including campfires, Category 2 open fires and Category 3 open fires) will be prohibited in all areas of the Coastal Fire Centre except the “fog zone” and Haida Gwaii. This step is being taken to help prevent humancaused wildfires and protect public safety. The fire danger rating is currently “high” throughout most of the Coastal Fire Centre, with scattered pockets of “extreme”. This prohibition will remain in place until October 15, 2014, or until the public is notified that it has been rescinded. A map of the areas affected by the prohibition is available online at: http://bit.ly/1yov78I This prohibition applies to campfires and open burning of any size or description, including fires with a burn registration number and industrial burning. The use of fireworks, burning barrels, tiki torches and sky lanterns is also not permitted. The prohibition does not apply to CSA-rated or ULC-rated cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes, or to a portable campfire apparatus that uses briquettes, liquid or gaseous fuel, as long as the height of the flame is less than 15 centimetres. This prohibition covers all BC Parks, Crown lands and private lands, but does not apply within the boundaries of local governments that have forest fire prevention bylaws and are serviced by fire departments. Please check with local governments for any other restrictions before lighting a fire.

Campbell River thinks pink July 26 Pink salmon: Barbecue to promote one of B.C.’s most sustainable seafoods In anticipation of an abundant return of pink salmon to Campbell River, Pacific Salmon Foundation will be serving up barbecued salmon samplings at their annual Campbell River Pink Salmon Festival. The object of the festival is to promote pink salmon as a sustainable and delicious seafood choice. This is the third year for the event, which will be held at Robert Ostler Park on Saturday, July 26 from noon until 4 p.m. Attendees will be treated to barbecued pink salmon sliders prepared by the Kinsmen Club of Campbell River with sides and salads donated by major spon-

sor, Save-On-Foods. There is no admission charge for the festival, which will also feature entertainment, family activities and educational exhibits. Pink salmon are a nutritious food source that has been traditionally overlooked by the public. In the Pacific Ocean, pinks are the most abundant and sustainable salmon species – returning in very large numbers so they can be sustainably harvested without damage to the overall resilience of the population. Also, purchasing pink salmon can help support B.C. fishers who have struggled over the last decade with low salmon

where she would represent Canada. “The larger goal I hold for myself is to one day step on stage at Olympia,” Janveaux said. “I am dedicated and driven to obtaining my goal, and always strive to be the best that I can.” As she gets closer to stepping on stage and representing B.C., Janveaux is looking for a few local sponsors to help with some of the associated costs of com-

peting at an event like this. Some of the costs are travel (flight), hotel, prep, as well as meals. The goal is to raise $3,500. “Any donation monetary or otherwise would be greatly appreciated. We will be holding a number of various fundraisers in the next few weeks,” Janveaux said. One of the events is a Garage Sale and Silent Auction on 8 a.m. - 2 p.m. on Saturday, July

26-27 and 8 a.m. - 12 p.m. on Sunday, July 27. They are accepting donations for the Garage Sale as well as the Auction. Donations can be dropped off at the CR Storm Gym, 740 Robron between the hours of 4:30-8:30 p.m. during weekdays or Saturday from 8-12 or Janveaux can be contacted to arrange pickup/drop outside of those times. “We will also be doing a Wall of Wine at this

event – if you may be interested in participating pls contact me, or you can check it out on Facebook,” Janveaux said. “I currently train six days a week. Fitness and bodybuilding in particular is a huge part of my life, it encompasses who I am. I have committed everything to this journey. I hope to empower others, to show them it’s not what you have been through, but the path you choose

in life. I am determined, strong, passionate, and hardworking. Anything I do, I do 100 per cent.” Janveaux was recently in the Cardillo Fab 4 contest to become their next spokesmodel. Out of 54 women from all over North America (and the only Canadian) - she came in third place. Reach her at nicole.janveaux@gmail. com or by phone 250204-0985 if you have any questions.

Riptide B.C. champs An 11-month soccer odyssey culminated in aprovince title for the Riptide U14 boys. “To win gold is an accomplishment our boys should be proud of...and to win in such a dominating way is an incredible feat!” said coach Bruce Mitchell. Comprised of rep players from Campbell River and the Comox Valley, the team began training last August and finished second in league play to the Saanich Fusion. The top two Island clubs squared off in playoffs last March with the Riptide beating the Fusion on penalty kicks to win the Island berth to the provincials. And in preparation for the B.C.’s, the team finished second at the Surrey Mayor’s Cup tournament. Then, in the Coastal Cup final, the club lost a close decision to the Delta Coastal Selects. Those second-place finishes motivated the Riptide as the squad put on a dominating performance at the Provincial A Cup Championship in Burnaby July 3-7. However, things didn’t start out so well. The Riptide struggled to find their rhythm after a long days of travel, working hard to hold off a strong Kamloops Blaze team, with both teams settling for a 0-0 draw. Day two was a rematch of the Coastal Cup final. This time the Island squadwas determined to reverse the outcome.

The teams lined up for the opening whistle at 9 a.m. and all it took was seven seconds for the Riptide offence to get going. From the kickoff, Eugene Park took the ball deep into the right corner of the Delta Selects’ zone, beat the defender and crossed the ball to John Samuels who one-touched it past the startled DCS keeper. Delta gradually regrouped and scored an equalizer, but had no answer when Charlie Purcell knocked in a second Riptide goal, ending the game 2-1 for Riptide. The final round-robin game was against Richmond United, a team Riptide beat in Coastal Cup play. This time it was Tanner Kempe scoring for Riptide early in the first half, and the entire team holding a low-pressure game strategy very well to keep Richmond U off the scoreboard in a 1-0 victory The win put Riptide through to the gold medal game. onn a warm and muggy Sunday afternoon, the local boys faced the Kamloops Blaze one more time. Once again, right winger Park got the Riptide off to a fast start on a fine solo effort to give his team a 1-0 lead after just a minute of play. The Blaze turned up the heat as the half wore on, but the Riptide players stayed true to the game plan of highintensity marking and defence-first. The Riptide led 1-0 at

the half and in the second, the offence padded the lead. Again, Park blazed the Blazers with his second goal of the game, just 45 seconds into the half. From there on, the Riptide’s fitness and strategy paid off, while Kamloops scrambled to pull close. It never happened and then Nicholas Mitchell’s goal iced the game for a 3-0 victory. Coach Mitchell said his team controlled the midfield and were indomitable on defence, anchored by Zeb Savioe-Velos and Shohei Iwamoto who provided a solid wall for goalkeepers Gary Thiara and Jared Perras, who shared three clean sheets between them. In addition, the the gold medals, the coach was particularly pleased with his club receiving the B.C. Soccer Fair Play Award, “It speaks to the character of the team and the program we are trying to build which, in the long-run, is more important than anything else.” Members of the Riptide include: Dylan Robertson, Zeb Savoie-Velos, Liam Walsh, Nicholas Mitchell, Charlie Purcell, Ethan Wong, Dawson Kipp, Jack Crosby, Jared Perras, Brook Gronemeyer, John Samuels, Navarre White, Riley Fussell, Ben Katerberg, Eugene Park, Shohei Iwamoto, Tanner Kempe, Gary Thiara, and coaches Gerald Fussell, Tony Walsh, Alex Jones, Pam Silver and head coach Bruce Mitchell.

Comets heat up in Kamloops

Hard-working Ravens coming home for finals The Midget B Ravens are coming home for the provincial lacrosse finals. After losing the opening match of the best-ofthree semi-finals against Juan De Fuca (JDF), the Ravens went on the road last Sunday and played a must-win game. The Ravens opened the scoring on Nolan Fair’s blast and then Nolan Morrison gave the squad a 2-0 lead. But JDF responded in the opening period and both teams traded goals with the Ravens leading 4-3 at intermission. JDF started the second period vigour and tied it up. The teams went to 6-6 before Campbell River cranked up the offence and ran away with a 12-7 victory. With the series tied, the two sides played the deciding game just two hours later, but it wasn’t close as the

Ravens’ offence heated up. Zach Lontayao paced the Ravens with a natural hat-trick as the team went on to a 9-4 victory and a berth in the provincial finals taking place next weekend in Campbell River and Courtenay. “They qualified for the midget provincial championships the old-fashioned way…they earned it,” said coach Todd Fair. “This really was a tremendous team effort and a credit to every player. We’re excited about our association hosting provincials and look forward to getting some of our players back from the disabled list.”

Provincials Campbell River Minor lacrosse is hosting the 2014 provincial midget championships at Strathcona Gardens July 23-27. Some games will also be

Under the heat of 40-degree temperatures, five Campbell River Comets competed in the BC Championship Jamboree in Kamloops, July 11-13. Heat was definitely and issue as some longer distance track events were postponed until the evenings when things cooled off. Seever Rondquist (16-17 boys) pulled off an impressive perfor-

mance in javelin by winning the bronze medal and was fourth in shot put. Marcus Savery (16-17 boys) placed sixth in 110m hurdles, ninth in 300m hurdles and 18th in 100m dash. Tekarra Reierson (14-15 girls) won the bronze medal in the 300m run, placed fifth in the 200m hurdles and was 10th in the 80m hurdles. Alice Rondquist (14-15 girls) placed eighth in both shot put and hammer throw, where she exceeded her distance with each throw to a new personal best. Madison Ashcroft (16-17 girls)

was fourth in javelin and set a new personal best. On the back of these impressive performances, three midget-aged (14-15 year olds) Comets qualified for this weekend’s B.C. Summer Games in Nanaimo. Tekarra Reierson, a fourth-year Comet, will run the 300m. She converted from long-distance runner and pulled off a third place finish at the provincials in the 300. Mairin Sheilds-Brown really took off this season and will compete in long jump while firstyear Comet Alice Rondquist will throw the shot and hammer.

Four local rugby players at B.C. Games Campbell River Athletic Association rugby players Kristine Osachuk, Georgia Bellamy and Nolan Young earned spots on the Zone 6 rugby 7s teams at this week’s BC Summer Games. Bellamy will play prop and Osachuk will take a place on the wing for the U17 girls team which is coming off of a first place finish at the Victoria Youth 7s tournament

held recently at the University of Victoria. Both players are talented kickers and will be sharing those duties with Bellamy kicking restarts and Osachuk kicking conversions. Young will be playing prop for the U14 boys team. The B.C. Summer Games are taking place in Nanaimo and run

until Sunday. The Campbell River Athletic Association’s youth fall season will start in late August with opportunities for boys and girls ages 6-17 to learn and play rugby, compete on the Island, learn from local and National Team coaches through trainings and clinics.

Ford parties i on Ford parties on with fun new Fiesta QQuestion of the Week with fun new BETTER RETAINED VALUE Fiesta By Alexandra Straub TORONTO: It’s a lovely day on the backcountry roads of suburban Ontario, just west of Toronto, I’ve chosen to show off this ‘special’ version of the popular Ford Fiesta. It’s an enjoyable drive through a pretty landscape, dotted with quaint farms, moving along at a decent speed. Easy to forget the Fiesta is powered by Ford’s smallest engine, the 1.0L EcoBoost. With three-cylinders, an output of 123 horses and peak torque of 125 lb-ft., it’s not something to scoff at. Furthermore, there’s an overboost feature that will give you access to 148 lb-ft of torque for up to 15 seconds. Furthermore, Ford touts it as having the best highway fuel economy in its class. It uses an estimated 4.3L/100km on the highway and 6.2L/100km in the city. Along with this new engine, there are also a few tweaks for the 2014 model year. You’ll find new headlamps with chrome accents, a new decklid and tail lamps. Inside, there are new steering wheel controls, a new door design, a new cluster design and additional chrome accents on the door handles and throughout. Not to mention the additional cupholder in the rear! Complete with a new interior and exterior look, the Fiesta certainly adds life to the party. It exudes pep and still has a lively personality. That can be attributed to a 5-speed manual transmission. With the 5-speed manual, the gear throws felt a little long, but then again, we’re not talking about the ST, its the Fiesta’s performance-oriented sibling. Noteworthy: the cabin stays serene even at highway speeds; when you’re cruising in fifth. Keeping unwanted noise out of the car’s interior is always high on the priority list for subcompacts. It has a roomy trunk,

Tread carefully when visiting Mitlenatch AlistAir tAylor

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

itting in the middle of the northern Strait of Georgia lies B.C.’s own “desert island” – Mitlenatch. It’s not actually a desert but it does have a climate that supports cactus. Because it lies in the rain shadow of Vancouver Island’s mountainous spine, Mitlenatch receives less than half the rainfall that Campbell River does. Consequently, it’s a dry oasis more like the Interior of British Columbia than the sur-

rounding rain-forested shores, mountains and islands. Despite the unique climate, what sets Mitlenatch apart even more is the birds. Thousands of them congregate on the island to nest and lay their eggs. It’s for that reason the island has been set apart as a provincial park nature preserve. And if you plan to visit the island, you need to be aware that there are rules and guidelines to be followed that protect the delicate island habitat. “What we want the public to know about Mitlenatch Island is that,

first of all, they’re very welcome and they’re encouraged to come over here, it’s a beautiful place to spend the afternoon,” says Don Griffiths, a volunteer with Mitlenatch Island Stewardship Team (MIST), a group of volunteers who each spend a week living on the island from April to September acting as interpreters, park wardens and field researchers. “Because it’s a bird colony, there are a couple of rules and one is there are no pets (allowed) on the island.” People often have a dog with them in their

boats and the animal needs to relieve itself, so the owners will take them ashore on Mitlenatch and let them run around. And dogs and birds don’t mix, Griffiths says. Another rule about visiting the island is that it is a very fragile ecosystem. The dryness means that the vegetation is delicate and struggling to survive. In the low-lying centre of the island where people usually land, there is a fragile area called the meadows that’s accessible from the beach. “The meadow is very fragile…so we ask peo-

ple to stay on the trails,” Griffiths says. From the meadows, you can access a bird blind that allows visitors to observe the nesting birds. “They’re encouraged to go up there and spend time with the birds, it’s very nice. You can sit there with the birds right at your feet,” Griffiths says. “It’s a wonderful place to be without disturbing the birds.” The birds know you are in the blind and so you are asked to be quiet “You do need to be quiet and not wave

I had a bullhorn and I said ‘hello sir!’” Griffiths says. “I said Mitlenatch Island is a a no-fishing zone. We’re a rockfish conservation area.” The boaters reeled in their lines and left. “I think most people want to follow the rules,” Griffiths said. “We just tell them what the rules are.” There are many delightful things to see on and around Mitlenatch Island, you’re just asked to treat it with respect and in a way that doesn’t disturb the flora and fauna.

Alpine to ocean adventure The Friends of Strathcona Park will be hosting a hike for the public through the beautiful Bedwell Valley this summer. The hike, which will take five days and four nights, will follow a wild route through the valley which was discovered by the Friends a few years ago. The dates for the hike are August 5-9, inclusive. “This is one of only three valleys within the park that go from the alpine all the way out to the ocean,” says Kel Kelly, a director with the organization. The other two valleys, the Megin and the Moyeha, are much more difficult to access than the Bedwell. The hike will require two groups, one coming down the valley from Bedwell Lake and another coming up from the Pacific, launching at Tofino. The groups will meet halfway, exchanging car keys to allow everyone to get back home. “We’ve done this trip several times of times already”, says Kelly, “and it’s always fun when the two groups meet and share stories of their adventures to date.” The Bedwell route goes through a variety of fascinating ecosystems, including alpine meadows, a rare high elevation maple forest, old growth cedar and fir groves and past several magnificent waterfalls. For more information, call 250-337-8348 or at kelkelly55@yahoo.ca.

Local dancers heading to Europe to represent Canada This coming September, Germany will host one of the largest World Hip Hop Championships ever held. Over 115 dancers auditioned and only 42 were chosen – five of them from Campbell River. Five talented dancers from Campbell River have qualified to represent Canada at the International Dance Organization World Hip Hop Championships. Harlee Benoche, Malia Grief, Emiko Koizumi, Kiara Ostrosser, and Jesse Devlin are all dancers at CR DanceXtreme Inc. Artistic directors

and dance teachers, Shawna Sloan and Buddy Mynatt, are extremely proud to have these amazing dancers representing their studio and community. The Inter national Dance Organization (IDO) is a World Dance and Dancesport Federation with a membership of over 90 nations, representing more than 250,000 dancers, from six continents. Team Canada’s brilliant choreographer is Paul Otterbein. The dancers wi l l rehearse for hours to learn choreography

and clean their routines before departing for Bochum, Germany the end of September. Unlike many of the European countries, dance competition in Canada is not supported by local government programs, therefore the dancers must raise all the funds to attend and represent Canada on the world stage. Tomorrow, the dancers will be having a bottle drive to fundraise for their trip. You can assist these dancers by going to Island Return It Bottle Depot in Campbellton and giving your bottle

THANK YOU! 3x6 Kusam Klimb thanks

The Kusam Klimb committee, would like to say a big heart felt, THANK YOU!, to all the dedicated volunteers who gave their time on Saturday June 21st to help out with the 10th Anniversary Kusam Klimb. It was a very successful event enjoyed by over 450 people either Klimbing or supporting. The weather was good and the snow was low!

This year the Klimb had a record 548 people registered. They came from far and wide including: Germany, UK, Alberta, USA, Smithers, Gabriola Island, Saltspring Island, and our regulars from Victoria, Nanaimo, Hardwicke Island, Woss, Port Hardy, Port McNeil, Campbell River and of course our own home town of Sayward. There were new records set by both men and women. Nick Elson our fastest man last year beat his own time by 5 minutes setting a new record of 2 hours 9 mins & 25 seconds - an awesome acheivement! Claire Thompson - Morgan was our ladies winner at the first Klimb in 2004. This year she won again AND set a new ladies record finishing in 2 hours 49 mins 12 seconds. Incredable acheivement! The youngest Sayward person to Klimb was Avalon Fast who Klimbed with her Mom, they both finished in 6 hours 42 mins and 5 seconds. The oldest Sayward person to Klimb was Art Bowbrick, he finished in 8 hours 41 mins 39 seconds. The oldest female was Barb Gilroy from Hardwicke Island, she has Klimbed with us every year there has been a klimb (the only other person to boast this at the banquest was Cameron Cairncross) she completd the Klimb in 10 hours 19 mins 33 seconds. The oldest male to Klimb this year was Del Flesh, 72 years young and finished in a time of 9 hours 30 mins 19 seconds. All very impressive results. The last people over the line were Mr & Mrs Friesen from Victoria (11 hours 57 mins 2 seconds). Well done everyone! You are tough enough! A major part of making this event happen each year is the support we receive from our sponsors who provide support by donating door prizes, money to support age class prize sponsorship or ‘T’ shirt sponsorship. This year these were: Adventures by Camera, Cablehouse Cafe, Campbell River British Shop, Climbing Wall Campbell River, Dairyland, Greig Seafood, Hardwicke Transportation, Healthyway Natural Foods Market, Kelsey Bay RV & Camp ground, Marine Harvest, Mt.

fish can be anywhere from 4-7 pounds. A key to finding big fish is finding the drop-off and getting down deep. The Oyster, Quinsam and Salmon rivers all have low water levels and not much rain is expected for the week. On the Quinsam I fished a popular pool that was teeming with rising trout. On the fly, a Montana Nymph seemed to attract the smaller fish, but getting the big one will be left for another day.
