KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A large fire broke out at the defunct Elk Falls mill early Wednesday. Campbell River fire crews battled the major structure fire through the early morning hours at the former Catalyst site. Deputy fire chief Thomas Doherty said the fire broke out near the top of what is now the Quicksilver LNG property, near the former sawmill portion of the site. “It was in an old sledge building which was all in for demolition,” Doherty said. “Contractors have been working on site there.” Doherty said it was a security guard who called in the fire. “At (12:46 a.m.) crews were dispatched to a report of a large outdoor fire at the site, and were quickly updated that the fire was actually a large, three-storey structure,” said Doherty. “On arrival, crews confirmed the structure was fully involved with flames reaching 30 feet in the air. This particular building was in the process of demolition, which created some additional risks that the structure could collapse.” A total of 26 firefighters from both the downtown and Willow Point Campbell River fire stations responded to the incident and initiated a defensive attack on the fire to contain it from spreading to other buildings. The f ire was s o involved that it took

SD72 sides with teachers, sets priorities MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

With the uncertainty surrounding the B.C. education system, extra seating was brought in for what was expected to be a “standing room only” situation at the first School District 72 (SD72) board meeting of the year Tuesday. More than 50 concerned teachers, parents and students filled those extra chairs and jockeyed for position around the edges of the room as the board took their seats. There were two main points on the agenda that night: To present the letter from the SD72 Board of Education to the B.C. government and presentation and approval of the Strategic Plan that will guide the board’s decisions and direction through 2018. The Letter The open letter to the community, addressed specifically to Premier Christy Clark, Minister of Education Peter Fassbender, BC Public School Employers’ Association

(BCPSEA) Chief Negotiator Peter Cameron and BC Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) President Jim Iker, addresses the concerns the SD72 board has surrounding the labour dispute keeping schools closed. According to the letter, “this board has been nothing but respectful and patient while watching this issue continually erode…(but) we now feel that we need to send a strong message of dissatisfaction in the ability to find a resolution to this dispute.” The language and tone of the letter is tangibly one of frustration, an issue that was addressed at the meeting. Trustee Ted Foster raised concerns that the letter was aggressively pro-teacher, and that the board should adjust the language to be more balanced if wants to claim impartiality. There was no impartiality to be had, however. “Although we feel that it is inappropriate to comment or interfere with the teachers’ negotiations on wages and benefits,” the letter reads, “we do strongly support their

Mike Davies/The Mirror

One of the many members of the public in attendance takes a look at the 2014-2018 Strategic Plan presented at the Sept. 9 meeting of the SD72 Board of Education.

efforts to advocate for additional resources for the BC Public Education System and for additional services for students in the classroom.” Those in attendance erupted in applause at multiple points in the proceedings, forcing Chair Michele Babchuck to pause in her reading of the draft. Those gathered responded positively to the statements, “we find it reprehensible that this government chooses to forward their own political gain by bribing the parents of B.C. with their own tax dollars,”

referring to the $40/day/ child offer made earlier this summer, as well as, “we can no longer sit on the side lines and watch the merry-go-round of media, mis-information and posturing that seems to be impeding a settlement in this dispute and promoting chaos and confusion around the topic. We have been calling for the Government to fully fund public education and bring public confidence back into our system for a decade.” Babchuck defended the tone and wording after the letter was approved.

“Yes, the wording in the letter is strong,” she said, “but I think the wording is also just.” She said that if the letter sounds like the board is frustrated, it’s successfully reflecting its overarching attitude. “In drafting the letter,” she said, “I was trying to reflect the opinions of everybody (on the board).” She said that throughout the course of job action, the board feels that the role of school district trustees in the bargaining process has been diminished.

“Now that we have had our representatives and our negotiator removed from BCPSEA, we have very much felt like we’ve been sidelined a little bit. It was the thought of the board that they no longer wanted to be pushed to the sidelines,” she said, adding that she believes the response to the letter by those in attendance showed their appreciation for what they’d done, “and I think it reflects their level of frustration around the lack of progress, as well.” The Strategic Plan “One of the roles of the Board of Education is to plot the direction of the district,” according to Babchuck, which is why, every four years, the board proposes and approves a Strategic Plan to set out the framework that will guide future and ongoing decisions regarding education in the region. That proposed plan was passed at the Sept. 9 meeting. According to Babchuck, the Strategic Plan adopted at the meeting,

“is actually a continuation of the previous district Strategic Plan, and what this board has tried to do is to encourage the public to get involved a lot more. “It’s the foundation that will help us in our budget-setting process, which is very collaborative with our various stakeholders, and how we deliver services to our students, staff, and within our community as a whole.” The entire Strategic Plan will be available on the School District’s website at sd72.bc.ca for public perusal. Babchuck said one of the most important things for her is that the board be transparent and accountable for the decisions it makes. “There’s a whole page in the report,” she said, “where I explain the process and how we came to the decisions we made,” adding that when people don’t know the process and reasoning behind decisions, it’s more difficult for them to have any confidence in them. The Board of Education meets again Sept. 30 at 7:30 p.m.

Ferries: all of B.C. affected

Continued from pg. 1

“Washington State ferries recover 66 per cent of their costs through fares, BC Transit 33 per cent, Calgary Transit 50 per cent, and let’s go international - Norway ferry system recovers 67 per cent. Those figures really stand out to me.” Peter Larose of Larose Research and Strategy, who was contracted to do the report, met with more than 400 local governments, chambers of commerce, ferry advisory committees and other stakeholders in coming to his findings. He found that BC Ferries stimulates $1.8 billion in expenditures in B.C. each year which produces $1.5 billion annually in total valueadded (GDP) for the B.C. economy. Of BC Ferries’ estimated $394 million in yearly taxation revenues, the federal government receives $210 million, the provincial government $150 million and local governments $34.2 million. “For every $1 of tax revenues invested in BC Ferries, $8.40 of economic activity was generated – much of which is in communities that are not coastal or ferry dependent,” the report reads. Larose also found that between 2003 and 2013, fare increases and subsequent ridership drops resulted in a cumulative loss of $609 million in tax revenues, including $325 million to the federal government, $231 million to the provincial government and $53 million to local governments. Abram said that’s concerning. “It’s a very serious issue because (local governments) don’t have anyplace else to collect taxes other than property taxes and we can’t keep increasing property taxes,” Abram said. Larose’s report also found that between 2003 and 2013, other forms of transportation are seeing increasing user rates of between five and 68 per cent, while BC Ferries has recorded a decrease of 6.8 per cent. “Fe r r y r i d e r s h i p declines run counter to the trend of transportation volume increases in most other modes of transport in B.C.,” the report reads, “including vehicles and air trans-

port.” Abram said the report sheds some light on “the real impact” BC Ferries is having on all B.C. communities and presents a clear picture of how one change can have a trickle down effect. Abram said UBCM is asking the province to reconsider its decision on raising ferry fares and cutting service. “We’re looking for some fairness, we’re asking for another look, we’re looking for some sane conversation.

We’re willing to collaborate with the province on this,” Abram said. Moglove said her hope is to work with the province to develop a long-term strategy for the coastal ferry system. “To be clear, the report is not meant as an attack on the provincial government, but it’s meant to open a dialogue to start a discussion on where do we go from here,” Moglove said. “The report goes a long way to show how important BC Ferries is to the economy and

we’re losing out.” Moglove said the system is running counterproductive to the province’s goal of a strong economy and sustainable jobs. D elegates at the UBCM, which represents 184 local governments, will vote on the report Sept. 24 when the UBCM meets in Whistler. The recommendations include asking the province to put BC Ferries back under the ministry of transportation and infrastructure.

Blasting underway on John Hart project Above ground blasting has begun on the John Hart generating station replacement project and will continue for the next two months. Rock tunnelling is planned for October in preparation for underground blasting expected to get under way in November. The blasts will make way for the new underground tunnel, which will replace the three existing water-carrying penstocks, as well as a new underground generating station. Ste ph e n Wat s ons , spokesperson for BC Hydro, said the blasts will go largely unnoticed. “Blasts will be small, closely monitored and may occur day and/or night, seven days a week,” Watson wrote in a project update report. “All work will occur in safely fenced-off areas.” It’s estimated that up to 300,000 cubic metres of rock will be removed from the ground over a two-year period and hauled to two different locations – one at Farwell Road and the other

at Middle Point. At its peak, six to eight trucks per hour will be hauling to and from the construction site near the city’s water quality facility off Highway 28. Meanwhile, a time lapse camera has been installed on one of the surge towers to record the project’s progress. Watson said the camera will be used to document the process. “Each year over the next five years a construction video will be produced,” he wrote. “The vantage will look up the penstock route, with clear views of both portals where underground works will be constructed.” The $1 billion project involves a new seismically sound generating station and a single underground tunnel to carry water to the generating station. Two of the three surge towers above the generating station will be removed, with one remaining for navigation and communication equipment. A project legacy, Hydro has already created the Station View Trail, designed to reroute Canyon View trail users up

and around the generating station which will be closed during deconstruction. BC Hydro has also built a new 80-stall parking lot for visitors to Elk Falls as the original parking lot will be inaccessible once construction moves into the area. As part of that phase of the project, the Brewster Lake bridge will be re-built and is expected to be closed to traffic in

January 2015 for up to three years. Interpretive Centre BC Hydro’s project information centre has shifted its hours as of Sept. 2. Through the fall season, the interpretive centre (located in the new Elk Falls parking lot) will be open Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.

The John Hart generating station, pictured above with the surge towers in behind, will be decommissioned and rebuilt underground.

City employees reject contract offer Un i on i z e d c it y of Campbell River employees have rejected the last offer presented to CUPE Local 401. During a vote arranged by the provincial Labour Relations Board, 77 per cent of employees who cast a ballot voted no to an offer that included

wage increases of two per cent in 2014 (retroactive to January 1), 1.5 per cent in 2015, 1.5 per cent in 2016 and two per cent in 2017 (for a total of seven per cent over four years). CUPE workers have already voted 88.3 per cent in favour of strike action, with 137 of the

161 permanent and auxiliary employees casting a vote, owever, the union has yet to implement a full strike. City Manager Andy Laidlaw said the city is on notice. “Wh i l e we have received strike notice and the union has implemented a ban on

overtime work, at this time, we do not have details from the union on whether there will be job action related to this vote,” Laidlaw said. In the event of a strike, the city says it will focus work efforts on providing essential services such as water, sewer, public safety and emergency response. “If a strike occurs, people can expect that facilities would be picketed and some would be closed, with related programs cancelled,” Laidlaw added. The city will continue to provide updates regarding any change in service through news releases and postings on its website.

“We are sorry for any disruption caused by this labour dispute and look forward to resuming full service as soon as possible,” Laidlaw said. CUPE members have been without a contract since Dec. 31 but talks were kept to a minimum until recently while the union gave the city time to deal with the Catalyst Paper situation. “We have now been to the negotiating table 10 times, twice with a mediator, but the city is still insisting on concessions,” Gurrie said in a press release. “While we are disappointed to have to take the strike mandate

route, we see no alternative at this time.” Recent settlements in other communities on Vancouver Island have included wage increases averaging 2.5-3 per cent per year in three-andfour year agreements. Gurrie says the union has set up two more meetings with a mediator for later this month in hopes of restarting meaningful talks with the city. The Campbell River municipal workers provide quality public services as inside and outside workers at city hall, the airport, recreation centres, public works, waterworks and sewage treatment and RCMP.

Indian Band, city partnership brings improvements for pedestrians The city of Campbell River, in partnership with the Campbell River Indian Band, has installed more than one kilometre of new sidewalks on 16th Avenue and Highway 19A this summer. Pedestrians can now travel on new sidewalks along the north side of 16th Avenue from Ironwood Street to Wal-Mart. There’s also a new route along the south side of Highway 19A from Wal-Mart to Dogwood. “This is another great example of the city’s partnership with the Campbell River Indian Band along our shared boundaries. These improvements result in increased safety and security for youth, elders and commuters who use these routes on a daily basis,” said Coun. Ron Kerr, council’s First Nations liaison. “Better access in this area comes at no additional cost to Wei Wai Kum or the city because funds were collected to support this type of infrastructure.” Funding for the sidewalk installation in this area came from fees (Development Cost Charges) collected during the construction of Wal-Mart and Home Depot to support infrastructure improvements for the community. “One of goals of the city’s Master Transportation Plan is to improve access for pedestrians on collector and arterial roadways,” said Drew Hadfield, the city’s transportation manager. “These new sidewalks also help connect the downtown area with Campbellton, a key element supported in a recent walkability assessment of the area.” Each year, the city builds on Campbell River’s sidewalk infill program throughout the community, which is paid for by development cost charges and federal Community Works funding. Additional work completed this year includes sidewalks installed along 15th Avenue from Maple Street to Tamarack and along Spruce from 14th Avenue to Highway 19A.

There’s a new landmark going up in downtown Campbell River that may have thus far gone unnoticed by many. They’re not making a big show about it – as they traditionally celebrate new buildings upon their completion – but the Campbell River Indian Band is hoping their new office building, which will be located behind Whitespot off the south side of 16th Avenue, will be “another anchor building for Campbell River,” according to band manager Ken Cooper. Cooper said that over the past few years it was becoming increasingly obvious that the current office facilities were going to be unable to effectively serve the needs of the community and support the program offerings available and in development. So in the summer of 2013, band council began exploring options for where would be best to situate a new building, and which services it would house. Once possible locations were chosen, a community meeting was held to discuss the options and get input and feedback from the community. At that meeting 75 per

the city have a very positive and collaborative relationship right now, and they are working together effectively to ensure things like aesthetics and infrastructure issues are addressed in a synergistic manner alongside council. “We’re hoping that this facility will be another example of the band’s commitment to the Campbell River community, and the flourishing of that community,” Cooper said, adding that they are very proud of the contributions they have Mike Davies/The Mirror made and continue Work is already well under way on the new Campbell River Indian Band administration building to develop, especially in terms of economic off of 16th Avenue in downtown Campbell River. development, such as bringing Walmart and through the processes to engage in, such as ipal councils, rezoning requiring public funds.

cent of those in attendance agreed the 16th Avenue location was the best option, that the building should have a traditional First Nations feel rather than that of a modern office building, and that it should be for administration as opposed to service offerings. This means that the current facility will be renovated to house and expand the Kwanwatsi pre-school, and the main service hub for the community will still be centred around the Thunderbird Hall area. Band administration, treaty negotiation, land code and economic development issues and offices will be housed in the new facility. Because the band has its own land code, it didn’t need to go

Our goal was for each young woman to have an experience where she would discover what she needed to do to come unto Christ. A highlight for me has been watching the girls journal and see how they are having great experiences and can’t wait to write them down. I’ve also enjoyed watching their new friendships develop and see how they take care of each other and support each other.” This is the first time the Church has held a camp of this size and nature in B.C.

Writing workshop at Sybil Andrews

day afternoons from 1-4 p.m. at the Sybil Andrews Cottage in Willow Point. Yourk and Taylor will serve as alternate facilitators of this program, which is akin to a structured writers group. Each session will include guided discussion and exercises on specific writing craft themes, along with an opportu-

nity to get and give peer feedback. The format for the latter will vary. Some weeks participants will read their work aloud in class in small groups. On other occasions participants will submit writing in advance to get and give a more detailed response. The instructors will guide participants through specific writing

craft themes at each session, with exercises and discussion. Registrants should have specific writing projects as the focus for class exercises, and they should be prepared to undertake some writing between classes. For peer reviews, participants will take time to read and respond both in class and between sessions.

The fee for the Writers’ Workshop is $130, which includes a binder of articles about writing craft. Register at Campbell River Arts Council at 250-923-0213. Check the instructors’ site www. thescribes.ca for more details. (While you’re there have a look at Taylor’s and Yourk’s blog, The Writers’ Study.)

BC Hydro is warning British Columbians about a new telephone scam. Customers are receiving calls where the caller claims to represent BC Hydro and says power will be disconnected if a payment is not received. BC Hydro is reminding customers that the company does not collect credit card or bank account information over the telephone. Customers are also reminded that if they receive a call from someone representing BC Hydro and they doubt the authenticity of the call, they should hang up and call back. If an account is in arrears, BC Hydro will send several notices asking for payment in the mail and also use

an automated dialer to remind customers to make a payment before electricity supply is impacted. B C Hyd ro c ustomers are asked to report these calls by calling BC Hydro at 1-800-BC-HYDRO, their local police department and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-4958501. BC Hydro has been providing power to British Columbians for more than 50 years while maintaining among the lowest rates in North America. BC Hydro is a provincial Crown corporation that serves 1.9 million customers and invests in the electrical system and in energy conservation to deliver electricity.

The B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) voted 99.4 per cent in favour of settling their issues through thirdparty binding arbitration on Tuesday. The BCTF says that as soon as the government agrees to arbitration, classes can resume, but a statement released by Minister of Education Peter Fassbender after the vote result was released said, “As we have consistently made clear, binding arbitration would lead to unacceptable tax increases in this case.” And so, at this point, the two sides are still at a stalemate. Relief is on its way for teachers struggling financially, however. Recent announcements from the B.C. Federation of Labour (BC Fed), the B.C.

Nurses Union (BCNU) and others have been a boost to the coffers of the BCTF hardship fund. The BC Fed announced Tuesday that its affiliates will contribute $8-million in interest-free loans to the BCTF to add to their hardship fund. President of the BC Fed, Jim Sinclair said the loan is an indication of solidarity with the BCTF from its members. The money will be earmarked for teachers who are experiencing financial hardship, not distributed as “strike pay,” but it’s a boost to those struggling most. Sinclair and the BC Fed have also come out in favour of the arbitration proposal, along with 13 other unions representing approximately 350,000 public sector workers.

Strathcona Regional District directors will move forward with purchasing an electric zamboni for Strathcona Gardens despite some skepticism from Mayor Walter Jakeway. The board voted in favour of upping its budget and spending an additional $32,000 on a new, electric-powered ice cleaner despite objections from Jakeway who was filling in for Director Larry Samson at the Aug. 28 board meeting. Jakeway recalled that during the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics, an electric zamboni failed multiple times

causing a 70-minute delay in the middle of the men’s 500-metre speedskating event at the Richmond Olympic Oval. “I just remember that there was a big hurry during the Vancouver Olympics to find a conventional ice machine when the electric one bought for some 2010 Olympic facilities failed,” Jakeway said. “I don’t believe in paying significant extra tax dollars for an electric ice machine when it will never pay out and is not used for long durations. I see it as a gimmick.” Regional district staff, however, see it differently. Lorne Parker, opera-

tions manager at Strathcona Gardens, said an electric zamboni could save $65,000 a year. He figures that, on average, there are 2,000 ice cleans performed each year and the electric model is expected to save $3.25 per clean, which equals $6,500 per year in savings, or $65,000 over its expected 10-year life span. The zamboni’s battery is good for five years and costs $10,000 to replace but Parker said going electric will reduce maintenance costs. “The main consideration with electric models is the reduction in operating expenses,” Parker wrote in a report

to the board. “Repair and maintenance costs for electric machines are significantly less.” It should be noted that the Regional District is looking to purchase a Zamboni 552 whereas the ice cleaner that caused problems at the Olympics was an Olympia machine. But Jakeway isn’t convinced. He also questions the need to replace the current ice cleaner which regional district staff say is nearing the end of its life expectancy. “I am hoping there were solid facts presented justifying that the existing machine is at the end of its life,” Jakeway said. “Ice machines are only used nine to 10 months per year so saying it is 10-years-old is somewhat misleading. It is not operating in a harsh environment. With my industrial background, I am skeptical.” Other directors did take Jakeway’s concerns into consideration last week. Area D Director Brenda Leigh put forward a motion that the matter of the 2010 Olympic electric zamboni failures be referred to the Strathcona Gardens Commission for further investigation. That motion passed, but with directors Andy Adams, Craig Anderson and John MacDonald opposed.

A bird’s eye view of InPower BC’s work on the John Hart Generating Station Replacement Project as of Sept. 4. Work on the south underground portal is progressing and work on the north portal will begin in mid-September with the removal of trees, shown in the area to the right of the picture. Access to the Millennium Trail along this section will be closed on an intermittent basis from September 12 to 22. These temporary closures will vary in duration, and will allow crews to safely fall trees on BC Hydro property. Daily updates about access and possible length of delays will be available either on signage at trailheads or work crews on the trail guiding pedestrian traffic. Trail users may be advised to stick to the Station View Trail and Canyon View Trail during those 11 days. There may be a few minor delays on the Station View Trail at the junction where it meets the Millennium Trail. C O N T I N U I N G E D U C AT I O N

Renowed artist opens up studio for bursaries The first rule of being an art teacher is never divulge to your students how you do your own art. Artist and teacher Brian Scott, however, has agreed to do a demonstration of his painting techniques as a fundraiser for scholarships at North Island College Foundation. The artist paints in the morning so the workshop will take place in his Black Creek studio from 10 a.m. till noon this Saturday – kids and dogs are welcome. Bring a notebook as Scott will outline his design strategies and techniques in both oil painting and acrylics. He will demonstrate under painting, blocking in, colour theory, and basic design theory. Scott will also be displaying his private art collection and touring his studios and galleries. Take the Hamm Road exit off Highway 19A and then take a right turn on to the Old Island Highway – look for the spirit bear and signs. Scott has been painting for 40 years; his first signed piece is 1974. He was commissioned in 1979 to paint for Canada Tungsten Mining Corp in the North West Territories. Hu s k y I n j e c t i o n Moldings purchased his colourful Vancouver Island paintings for its head office in Hong Kong. Scott’s biggest client, however, is North Star

Marine Harvest BBQs helping to fund new burn centre

Campbell River firefighter Stewart Dumont and Marine Harvest’s Ian Roberts have received personal invitations to attend a groundbreaking celebration for the new Burn Fund Centre in Vancouver. For more than ten years, Campbell River Professional Firefight-

ers Local 1668, Marine Harvest Canada, and the community of Campbell River have teamed up to fundraise for the BC Burn Fund. Dumont and Roberts are excited to see years of local effort helping to fund a project that will support burn and trauma patients from across British Columbia.

A portion of the money was raised by selling barbecued salmon every year at Campbell River’s Canada Day festivities at Ostler Park. In the ten years since salmon sales began, Marine Harvest and Local 1668 members have raised more than $20,000 for the BC Burn

Flex crossover dares to be different Flex is a short name for a big Ford utility/wagon type vehicle that can accommodate six or seven people with ease and seat them with an impressive degree of comfort. Made in Canada, Flex is a hard-to-categorize vehicle that was introduced for the 2009 model year. Not a car, a minivan or an SUV, Flex borrows from them all, so the ‘crossover’ tag is also very appropriate. Stylistically the Ford Flex dares to be different. What appears at first glance to be a simple two-box design is actually more complex. It has generally straight styling lines yet there are no sharp corners. Its two-tone paint finish is separated by the dark centre greenhouse section, which gives Flex a distinctive ‘floating roof’ appearance that’s also appealing. On the inside, even with all its seats upright there’s still 566 litres (20 cu ft) of cargo space in the back.

‘‘

Styling lines provide an interesting wrapper for what is actually a very practical family vehicle.

’’

Bob McHugh

That jumps to 1,224 litres (43.2 cu. ft) with the third row down and a whopping 2,355 litres (83.2 cu. ft) with the second row flat. The front passenger seat can also fold forward and allows Flex to swallow 3-metre (10 ft) long object, with its liftgate closed. Flex can also have an impressive max towing capacity of 2,041 kg (4,500 lbs), when properly

equipped. Originally (in 2009) Flex just came in SEL and Limited trim levels and all-wheel drive was a ($2,000) optional offering. The only engine was a 3.5-litre V6 engine that can deliver 262 horsepower at 6,250 rpm and 248 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,500 rpm. It’s mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and drive goes to the front wheels. Highway fuel economy is surprisingly good 8.4 L/100 km, but the city rating is a much thirstier 12.6 L/100km. Two changes came in

A complete mechanical check should always be performed by a reliable auto technician prior to purchase.

2010 in the form of a new (lower-priced) entry level SE trim version of Flex and the other was a new optional 3.5 litre V6 EcoBoost engine (Limited trim only). Turbochargers and direct fuel injection allow this engine to provide V8 like

power, yet still offer it still offer V6 fuel economy. The MyKey security feature and an AutoFold 60/40 bench seat were both added as standard equipment in all Flex trim levels. A new top-line Titanium

edition of Flex was added to the product line in 2011. It comes with the V6 EcoBoost engine and all-wheel-drive. And other than a switch to a centrally mounted rear windshield wiper there were no significant changes in 2012. The 2013 edition of Flex got a mid-life styling refresh that included a slicker new front-end treatment plus minor improvements to both engine offerings. Safety ratings are all topnotch and this, plus high owner reliability ratings, has helped put the Ford Flex on Consumer Reports “Recommended” list of vehicle buys. Although

Bigfoot sparked monster truck madness By Ian Harwood When I first started my career in the off-road and truck accessory business I was a young and impressionable 18 year-old. I was impressed with some of the successful off-road shops in the US but I wondered how they had become so succeeded in business. One that came to mind was Midwest FourWheel-Drive & Performance Centre, owned by Bob Chandler, creator of the legendary Bigfoot monster trucks. Back then large off-road tires for pickups were not available; this forced Bob to think outside the box and looked to the agriculture industry. He bought a set of 48” tall Firestone tires and along with some custom made wheels; he mounted them onto his truck. People from all over the states started talking about his truck. He was invited to

car shows and tractor pulls and that started drawing attention from the four wheel drive magazines. His shop also started to grow rather quickly with all the new interests in 4x4 modifications. A mechanic in his shop gave the truck the nickname Bigfoot because of the way Bob would drive it, heavy foot on the gas pedal. I was looking through one of those magazines and saw a small picture taken from just outside the shop bay door. It was his truck with 66” tall Goodyear tires. I remember thinking he was crazy. After that the monster truck craze began. I was fortunate enough to meet Bob at a trade show in Las Vegas. His truck was there on display and he was outside sitting at a table having lunch. I approached him, not recognizing him in his cowboy hat and asked if the spare seat was taken. Very nice man, he

shared with me some of his frustrations with parts breaking and how he ended up custom building a lot of parts in his own shop. Other people started building their own trucks and soon side-by-side competition began. There were crazy names for these trucks such as; Goliath, Taurus, King-Kong, Grave Digger, and Samson. It was a big thrill for many just to see these trucks drive slowly over some junk cars. They would stop in the middle and get out a wave. Soon fans wanted to see more, so the trucks would pop a wheelie before crushing them. Two cars became eight and then buses. I saw Taurus drive up several cars and onto the roof of two double decker buses. The truck came very close to rolling off, but after a few adjustments to the rear steering he climbed along and then off. The suspension of that time was

more about lift height to accommodate the largest tires rather than full suspension travel which came next. The Baja race trucks could handle large jumps without any trouble, so the monster trucks started the change. Massive coil over shocks and four-point suspension that could handle the weight and abuse these trucks would dish out. Now the monster trucks could hit the cars at tremendous speed and fly through the air impressing all. Bigfoot #18 holds the Guinness World Record for the longest jump by a Monster truck at 214’ 8”. The popularity of these trucks continues to grow to this day and with more advanced technology who knows what the next wave of Monster Trucks will look like? ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

A sleek and peppy roadster for the people Monterrey, CA. – Looking at the specs, it doesn’t seem too impressive. A 1.6-litre engine, 116 horsepower, 100 lb-ft of torque, a 0-100 km/h time of less than nine seconds, 14-inch tires. Heck, my bicycle has bigger rubbers! Okay, maybe not. But 25 years ago, the Mazda Miata was a product of those numbers. It wasn’t necessarily endowed in the engine department. However, the twodoor roadster did have everything else on its side. A sleek design, a peppy personality, a brilliant red coat and something that other cars have strived to achieve in their two-door roadsters over the years but have fallen short – longevity. At a quarter century old, the Miata/MX-5 has achieved incredible success. Close to a million of these drop tops have been sold worldwide. The Miata/MX5 holds a Guinness Book of World Records title of as most successful two-seat convertible roadster in history. Not bad for a car that packs in so many thrills for under $30K. Over the years, the frontengine, rear-wheel drive car continued to encourage the masses to drive topless. Whether through a rag or hardtop, this specimen of automotive manufacturing and design allowed people to feel the proverbial wind in their hair within seconds. I felt it as a kid as my mom was lucky enough to be one of the first Miata owners in BC when they came out in 1989 – a red one, of course – and took me out for rides frequently. Those memories have stayed with me over the decades, though I’ve been able to form my own bond with the car. Not only have we (meaning, the various MX-5s I’ve driven in the last in 11 years) put down thousands of kilometres

together, we’ve also been paired up at the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca for the Skip Barber Racing School experience a couple of times. Nostalgia is one popular element of its appeal, but there’s an undeniable fun factor. Whether racing it on a track or just taking it to the grocery store, the first turn you carve in it will rope you in like an infomercial in the wee hours of the night when you can’t sleep. But in the case of the MX-5, you won’t have any buyer’s remorse. Fast-forward through the years and you’re now viewing the fourth generation MX-5. And what better way to welcome the roadster to the stage here in California than via a little band called Duran Duran. And through a live satellite stream that was broadcast here, and abroad in Spain and Japan. The reasoning? – Both the English music group and the roadster came into popularity in the 80s and continued to succeed and grow in status over the decades. Besides, “Rio” is an incredibly catchy tune to dance to! That said the MX-5 has a new, eye-catching look to it. Not many specs have been released though I can tell you this: it’s lower, wider,

and sheds 100kg in the making. It also embodies the KODO or “Soul of Motion” design language. This two-seater also comes with sexy character lines from its four corners. Furthermore, up front, you’ll notice its headlights that look like they’re eyeing its prey; unlike the first generation’s pop up/down headlights that were more than welcoming. Like with all-new models of anything legendary, there will be a polarizing reception. Some might think it’s too radical. Some

might fall immediately in love with it. And some will wait to drive it to make up their mind. Regardless of the way it looks – which certainly helps its cause – it’s really about how you feel on the road, behind the wheel, and when you tuck it in at night. More details about the MX-5 are scheduled to be released at this year’s Paris Auto Show. Either way, I can’t wait to drive it. www.mazda.ca alexandra.straub@ drivewaybc.ca

The centre infotainment screen is controlled with a rotary dial in-between the front passengers and is very similar to Audi’s MMI system. Drive The V6 model comes with the very competent 3.8L engine that puts out 311hp. having tried this in other Hyundai/Kia products and it is smooth and powerful. The V8 is superb, with 420hp coming from a 5.0L V8, there is no lack of power. The shift in the auto industry is to smaller engines that utilize turbo charging but Kia is sticking with good old engine displacement to get the job done. Covering more than 1,000km, the real world fuel economy was 12L/100km on the highway. To say that the K900 is smooth and quite is an understatement, I would put this car up against the new S-Class from Mercedes and a blindfolded passenger would have a hard time distinguishing the difference. What does become apparent is the K900’s lack of steering feedback to the driver and cornering ability. On Highway 3 from Hope towards Penticton the K900 wallowed in the switchback corners, it really didn’t like it at all. Driving back on the Coquihalla was a different story; the K900 shines in open road cruising, making it a wonderful long road trip companion.

Verdict The K900 is Kia’s very first pure luxury car and they got a lot right. The interior is as good as anyone in the marketplace and Kia does it at a substantial discount to the competition and power isn’t a problem especially with the big V8 available. But there were a few problems. The automatic lock and unlock feature on the outside doors only unlocked. This is probably a quick fix but an issue and the Bluetooth audio didn’t work either. Another stumbling block is the lack of all wheel drive (AWD). In this segment almost all vehicles sold come with AWD, in fact most companies only offer it. The market for this car is a happy existing Kia owner wanting to upgrade to something more and that is where the V6 model comes into play. Kia might not sell many of these cars but they have it for sale to show anyone that is interested that they can make a true luxury car, maybe not in name but in features and refinement. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca The Lowdown Power: 3.8L V6 with 311hp or 5.0L V8 with 420hp Fill-up: 15.7L/10.3L/100km (city/highway V8) Sticker price: $$49,995$69,995

Trucks and cars of all makes and sizes took part in a drag racing competition at Saratoga Speedway on Saturday night.

Saratoga Speedway’s last weekend Race fans were treated to a great showing of drifting and drag racing last Saturday at Saratoga Speedway. Six drifters and 12 drag racers put on a great show under a beautiful clear September night. The final round of drifting saw some new faces. After some early eliminations, Torry Slater and Dustin Taylor found themselves in the finals. Slater and Taylor drifted bumper to bumper in the finals, but Slater in his ’89 Nissan 240sx from Victoria prevailed to take home his first ever drifting event win. Andrew Otteson and Reece Lucas battled it out for third and fourth place, with Otteson managing to beat out Lucas. In the final round of drag racing, cars ranging from small Honda Civics, pro drag bikes and old Chevy trucks entertained. All vehicles went through a heads up

format, eliminating cars early from contention. Gord Fraser in his 1969 Ford pickup and Bruce Moran on his Suzuki bike fought for the win, with the win going to Moran, his first drag event win of the year. Extra laps... Next weekend, champions will be crowned at Saratoga, though two championships are already all wrapped up going into the weekend. Sheldon Hopp holds an commanding 470 point lead over second place Cam Edward, making it mathematically impossible for Edward to catch Hopp in the Crash to Pass. Chris Beaulieu has the I.M.C.A Modified division wrapped up, holding a 351 point lead over second place Travis Stevenson. The Bomber car class is still up for grabs going into next weekend, but Darren Larson holds a

strong 256 point lead over his brother Darrel Larson. The other three championships are still up for the taking going into the weekend. In the roadrunner division, Nick Leavitt is looking to claim his first ever championship at Saratoga, holding a 95 point lead over Ryan Guest. The Hornet A championship will come down to two young talented drivers – Nigel Neufeld and Raymond Fortier who are separated by only 17 points. In the Hornet B’s, four drivers are still in the running for the championship – Boston Larson, Luke Dixon, Rowland Westra and Ashley White – with only 161 points separating all four; Larson holds the lead going into the weekend. With all these championships being so close, next weekend is one not to be missed. Racing action will be capped off by a season-ending firework extravaganza.

The Campbell River E agles youth football teams travelled to Courtenay last Saturday to take on the Comox Valley Raiders to open another season of action football. The Peewee Eagles found themselves in a David vs Goliath battle as they were forced to play with only nine players versus a Courtenay squad fielding 23. It was Ironman football at its best. Unfortunately, the Eagles came up short with a final score of 24-6. “I am very proud of the way the team played,” says head coach Kevin Meier. “We had several players who had never set foot on the football field.” The Eagles had outstanding performances by quarterback Cole Dumont, running back Riley Cook and full back Josh Weld. All three also had stellar performances on d e f e n c e . C o o k was awarded the first coaches’ MVP game ball of the season. The Eagles Junior Bantams were also forced to play some Ironman football, fielding only 12 players for some exciting 11-man football. The Eagles were led

by starting quarterback Casey Klettke who found the end zone three times, en route to a big 26-0 victory. “I am really proud of the way the team played,” says Meier. “They were facing some tough odds against a Raiders team fielding twenty-four players. “They played very solid defence, especially on a goal line stand late in the third quarter that had the Raiders with a first and goal situation from the five yard line. “The offence ran their

plays well and even when the play broke down, Casey (Klettke) was able to keep his composure and pick up positive yards.” Other outstanding performances came from starting running back/ safety Tearlach “T-Man” Thompson, full back/ defensive linemen Tomas “Tank” Foge (with his first two sacks of the season), wide receiver/ corner back Chris Rendall, rookie tight end/corner back Hunter Yon and centre and middle linebacker Ethan Wold (who

had two interceptions on the day). Klettke received the MVP game ball. Both teams are looking for players - peewee players between the ages of 8 and 11 and junior bantam, 12 to 13-year-olds. Interested players can register any practice night Monday, Tuesday or Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m. at the portables beside the field at Timberline Secondary School. The Eagles program is also always looking for experienced coaches.

Registration is now open until Sept. 30 for the 2014/2015 season of Campbell River Co-Ed Volleyball. The league is open to all adults and runs from Oct. 20 to March 31. Games are played Mon-

day evenings between 7:30 and 9:30. A competitive A division and a more recreational B division are run concurrently throughout the season, for those who don’t take themselves and their volleyball quite as seriously.

Individuals or full teams can find out more information or register for the season by visiting www.crvolleyball.ca or e-mailing info@crvolleyball.ca or by calling 250-286-0560. Preference is given to

full teams but individuals will be accommodated where possible and are encouraged to join the league Facebook group CR Volleyball. R e g i s t e r q u i c k l y, though, as they only have room for 12 teams.

Despite only having 12 players to make the trip down to Courtenay, the Eagles Junior Bantams shut out their opposition in their season opener 26-0.

Breathing class to offer huge sigh of relief Thousands of people around the world have received relief from breath-related illnesses using a simple set of breathing techniques anyone can learn in a few hours. Now Campbell River residents are being offered a three-day course in Buteyko Breathing, developed by a medical scientist and used successfully to treat asthma, allergies, insomnia, anxiety, even colds and the flu. The weekend intensive course is offered Friday to Sunday, October 3 to 5, at River City Therapeutic Centre, 1720 14th Avenue. The course is taught by Christine Bauman of Victoria, one of Canada’s leading breathing coaches, president of the international Buteyko Breathing Educators Association, and known on the Island as the Breathing Lady. Breathing seems like the most natural of human activities, but, according to Bauman, in our busy world many people over-breathe or hyperventilate, just like some folks who eat too much or drink too

much alcohol. Prop er bre at hing produces more energy, better sleep, clarity of thought and peace of mind. The Buteyko method is used in 15 countries around the world and has been clinically proven in medical trials at the Foothills Hospital in Calgary. For more information about the Campbell River course and the Buteyko method contact Chris Bauman at 250-858-4211or breathinglady@gmail.com or at www.breathinglady. com
