Walter wants back in
City vote: Mayor outlines his re-election priorities
Fir Street, the city will enter into an agreement with the Campbell River Family Services Society to establish a sobering assessment centre at this location in the downtown area to provide enhanced treatment services for addictions and homelessness.
Mayor Walter Jakeway wants to keep his job. Though it’s been no secret over the past year that Jakeway would be running for mayor again, he officially announced his intentions to the Mirror this week. He’s up against Coun. Andy Adams and his predecessor and former mayor Charlie Cornfield. Jakeway, with a background in engineering and business administration, said his experience makes him an ideal candidate. “Working with a leadership team like council and overseeing a physical plant like the city is a natural role for me, similar to the duties that I handled successfully for most of the last few decades in the private sector,” Jakeway, 62, said. “A functioning infrastructure is more than concrete, garbage, and water – it is people; taxpayers and customers, managers and workers. It is decision making, serious money management, awareness, and grasping the future.” Jakeway, who has been a Campbell River taxpayer since June 1976 and maintains he’s not a politician, said

Land swap opens door for downtown homeless facility AlistAir tAylor Campbell RiveR miRRoR
A property exchange that provides a site for a downtown sobering assessment centre puts Campbell River in the forefront of service to the homeless. “This community is way ahead of
so many other communities,” said Camille Lagueux, executive director of the Campbell River Family Services Society. A downtown land exchange will help fill a vacant site near the fire hall and provide a home for the sobering assessment centre. The City of Campbell River will
exchange its property at 1241 Dogwood Street for property at 1180 Fir Street, currently owned by Discovery Chiropractic. Discovery Chiropractic will also pay the city the difference in the value of the lots (estimated at $86,000) as part of the land swap. Upon taking possession of 1180

Legion: Donald McDonald receives yet another military commendation for his service Mike Davies Campbell RiveR miRRoR
Donald Richard McDonald, 84, of Quadra Island, has received pretty much every military commendation available to a Veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces. Well, as of Friday, Sept. 12, 2014, he’s got yet another. “When I found out, I told them if it was another medal, I was going to pin it to my shirt tales,” he joked, “because I don’t have any more room on my jacket.” McDonald was the one of the 2014 recipients of the Minister of Veterans Affairs Commendation for continuing to provide outstanding service to their country, their communities and their fellow veterans. Although McDonald retired from the Armed

Forces in 1978 after serving in the Korean War, he has continued to serve his country and community, first by saving his branch of the Royal Canadian Legion (237, Marmora, Ont.) from closing, and then going on to serve four terms as president of the branch. While president, he realized the branch building was on Crown land, and set out to purchase it by “Walking his age” every year for seven years along with Branch members and his local community, raising the $30,000 needed to purchase the land from the government. He has also served as North Vancouver Island Zone commander (where he oversaw the operation of nine branches), sat on the BC/Yukon Command Provincial Council and as a BC/Yukon Command Executive officer and the Campbell River Common. At its Sept. 16 in-camera meeting, city council decided to enter into a four-year agreement to lease space at the Campbell River Common, then sublet that space to the society for a seniors centre, according to a city press release. The two agreements will take effect Nov. 1, 2014.

The leased area at the Campbell River Common totals approximately 7,200 square feet and will incorporate a restaurant space with additional activity areas for the seniors to use for the society’s daily activities and various events. The city’s annual cost for this lease space will be $60,000, a reallocation of the amount the
city currently spends to host this seniors group in various city facilities. There will be no additional cost to taxpayers with these agreements. The Campbell River Seniors’ Centre Society is an organization that has been providing services to seniors living in the Campbell River area since 2009.

oe Rozich was getting older, there was no arguing that. And sure, there were the increasingly frequent trips to the bathroom in the middle of the night, and some occasional tingling in his feet and legs, but he still golfed four times a week, was active with his grandchildren, he played in a weekly pool league, and he was enjoying his early retirement. His annual checkups with the doctor had always come back clean. In November, 2006, however, Rozich and his wife Ann were getting ready to head south for a winter vacation when their doctor called. They told him they were leaving for their vacation the next day, and he told them, if that was the case, they’d better come see him first thing in the morning. Two days later they were certainly headed south, but instead of a vacation, they were on their way to Victoria to see a kidney specialist. Joe had been diag-

nosed with Hypertension and Chronic Kidney Failure. There is no cure for this condition. The specialist they saw in Victoria discussed options with them, including the change that would be required in Joe’s diet, and the two types of dialysis that would be needed to keep Joe’s kidney’s filtering
out the waste from his system, keeping him alive. While Joe began to lose weight, Ann started putting it on. “All the processed white-bread foods that were good for him, were bad for me,” Ann says. “We were a couple, so when he had toast, I did too.” They did their research, and thought
they knew everything there was to know about kidney failure. They were wrong. Fortunately, they had a lifeline in the Kidney Clinic at Royal Jubilee Hospital. “The dieticians, the social workers, the nurses, everyone there helped us,” Ann says. “They returned our calls

when we had questions and offered advice and answers to questions others had asked before us. A terrific group of people.” Without a kidney transplant, Joe would have been on dialysis to clean his blood every day for the rest of his life, as is the case with kidney failure. That life would have also been much, much shorter, and the quality of it would have been severely diminished. The wait list for a kidney, however, is long, and once you’re at the top of it, you still need a matching one to show up. While you wait, you hope things go well and you can keep yourself in a physical condition that will facilitate a transplant once it’s available. Ann, meanwhile, “came face to face with a roller coaster of emotions, tears of anger as well as joy,” as well as “a feeling of self worth that almost took my breath away,” when she realized she could save Joe, her children’s father, her husband. She’d decided he could have one of her kidneys. “I’m not special, or young, but I am healthy,” she thought. “I’m an everyday ordinary female, wife, mother and grandmother who could live well with only one
kidney, as many people do.” So she asked the specialist to test her to see if she was a match. “Joe has a rare blood type and we were told that the odds could be thousands to one that we would match. But I listened to my heart and knew we would be.” Sure enough…. On Monday, March 31, 2008, a year and a half after the diagnosis, Ann and Joe walked arm in arm into the surgical department of St. Paul’s Hospital. Ann went into surgery at 7:50, and Joe followed at 12:30. “I heard afterward from Dr. (William) Gourlay (who performed the transplant) that almost as soon as he put my kidney into Joe it started working.” Their next days were filled, according to Ann, with “self-administered pain control, walking the halls and regaining strength.” They were released late Friday afternoon that week. Joe and Ann look at life a bit differently these days. Six years ago their viewpoint shifted, and they have a newfound appreciation for everything and everyone around them. “(Our daughters) Jenni and Stasia have continued to ‘monitor’ their Dad’s eating habits and exercising and are always quiz-
zing their Dad about his medications. I look at (or daughters) a little differently now,” Ann says, “with a new admiration for the nurturing women they are. For a brief moment in our time, our roles were reversed. They became the parents and we the children.” Joe is back to golf, they are back to gallivanting all over the world, and are physically active with no health issues to speak of. Ann says that she needs to tell people about the “Live Donor” experience. “A
few days of discomfort and several weeks of recovery is the price I paid to extend the years and quality of life of another,” she says. “It was a privilege to be able to do this. A very small price to pay for a huge reward, I think.” If you or someone you know want more information about kidney disease, failure, dialysis, or how you can help, go online to kidney.ca, or stop by the Campbell River Kidney Walk Sunday, Sept. 28, beginning at Frank James Park at 10 a.m.

Back to school arrives at last Hopefully parents hung on to those handy back-to-school flyers that were stuffed inside issues of the Mirror last month. The teachers’ strike appears headed for a settlement, awaiting a vote from the B.C. Teachers’ Federation Thursday as the Mirror went to press. Parents and other taxpayers should be disappointed that it took three weeks into September before the two sides learned to use their words, stop hitting, share and

play nice. If they could come to an agreement on Tuesday, they should have been able to come to an agreement three weeks earlier. But better now than never. We know that some educators experienced financial hardship, and that some parents faced day-care challenges. This fight was about the kids, though, we were told, and we think the kids will be all right. Students have enough weeks left in the fall semester to get caught up on the curriculum, and they have more than enough time for proper exam preparation. They’ve missed out on some extra-curricular
participation, but they’re still going to get that football season, band trip and Halloween dance. They still have almost a whole school year ahead to make friends, build character, have fun and be kids. We hope and we think that some good has come out of the strike. Sometimes it’s okay to agree to disagree, but not when it causes collateral damage. Maybe three weeks is minimal damage. Maybe this school year can still be one of the best ever. -Black Press
Parks and recreation helps build community Stronger families, better health and improved quality of life are among the key ways that parks, recreation and culture services build a better Campbell River. Did you know? The Leisure Information Network based out of Toronto confirms: Recreation promotes balanced human development. As children and youth play and participate in sports, they learn to build social, motor and creativity skills while developing intellectual concepts and capacities. Recreation enhances life satisfaction. Recreational pursuits help build self-esteem and positive self-image, which improve our sense of satisfaction with life, as well as our family and community experience. Recreation reduces self-destructive and anti-social behaviour. Both youth and adults who are involved mentally and physically in the outside world are more likely to participate in community-building activity. Recreation builds connections among people. Through safe developmental opportunities, recreation supports future engaged citizens and community leaders. Arts and cultural activities also help build a better appreciation and understanding of diverse interests and perspectives. Recreation can improve work performance, increase productivity and promote a connection with the natural world. More information about the Leisure Information Network can be found online at www.lin.ca For information on Campbell River recreation programs, drop by the Sportsplex or Community Centre, or visit www. campbellriver.ca
Thanks for the warm welcome, Campbell River This is the eighth edition of the Campbell River Mirror that I’ve been a part of, so I thought it was maybe time to address the warm embrace that you’ve all given me since my arrival. I was going to do one of those, “This is me and what I’m about, and I’m happy to be joining the team, bla bla bla,” columns when I was first given this spot for my musings, but I thought I’d wait a bit and see how it went. After all, maybe a couple of weeks would go by, everyone would hate me and my generally positive but always community-centric idealism, and I’d be on my way to the next place, right? I’m happy to report (see what I did there?), however, that I’ve seemingly been accepted and welcomed, not only by the fine people who work here at the
Mirror, but also by you folks in the community to whom we’re responsible. I suppose it’s possible that everyone hates everything I’m doing, and they’re just not the ones I’m hearing from, but I’ve found in the past that those who like what you’re doing are generally the less vocal of those two groups. So the fact that I’m only hearing positives is good, right? In any case, I would just like to take a moment to say thank you, Campbell River. I feel like I’m home already, and that’s really saying something, since I really loved the last place I was. I’ve been settling in and catching up with some old friends I had during my brief stint here back in what seems like a previous life, getting caught up on what’s
happened since I left, and re-engaging with the community in general, and you’ve all been so great at helping me do these things. I’m slowly starting to put everything together in terms of who is involved with what, which organizations do what for whom, and where you should go to acquire that thing you need, and I appreciate your help in that. I look forward to continuing to find out more about you, and helping you find out more about each other. If you feel like there’s an underserved or under appreciated aspect of the community, let me know, and I’ll see what I can do. I can’t be at everything, but I’ll be at what I can if I know about it. I want to know about this place as much as you want me to tell you about it,
so just keep in touch and keep me in the loop with what’s going on, would you? Other than that, I’ll bid you a temporary adieu, and see you here again next week, where hopefully I’ll have something else to talk about. Maybe I’ll chime in on the teacher’s dispute, because it’ll be all ironed out by then, and everything will be smooth sailing, no? And what I say about it wouldn’t possibly be divisive, right? Until then, I await your input on what I can do for you, how I’ve been doing thus far, what your golf handicap is…really, whatever you want to talk about.

Why we wish our clinic was more like a bakery. By Martin Jurek, Campbell River Hearing Clinic
“Dobry den!” The familiar Czech greeting came at us from behind the counter of Dave’s Bakery, where Jana and I were chatting idly in our native language during our first visit to the Willow Point establishment. The greeting – which made us immediately thankful we hadn’t been discussing something embarrassing like how hot I look in my new spandex bib biking shorts – came from David himself, a fellow countryman who’d opened the bakery after a long career as a pharmacist. David’s passion for baking and Walter White-esque ability to spin his knowledge of chemistry into irresistibly delectable baked creations are a potent combination. His scones are divine, his soups are to die for and his light, cream-filled venecky instantly transport me to my Czech childhood begging my maminka for just one more. And don’t even get me started on the freshly baked breads and treats concocted by David’s partner, who, just to keep things as confusing as possible, is also named Dave. Confession time: My name is Martin and I’m a treat-o-holic. I’ve battled a weakness for baked goods for years, and I was just starting to feel like I was overcoming my illness. But put David and Dave together in their bakery and the aromas alone are far too irresistible for a mere mortal such as myself. Not surprisingly, Jana and I were instantly hooked. We’ve actually had to set a “Dave’s Bakery” budget and restrict our visits to predetermined time slots. I even had to add another weekly bike ride to ensure that I would indeed continue to look hot in those bib shorts (if only in my own mind). All of which got Jana and me thinking (over
a bowl of soup and a white chocolate raspberry danish) . . . Why can’t hearing aids be as irresistible as David’s baked goods? Why aren’t people gossiping discretely in a foreign language while patiently lined up through our front door? After all, I can think of at least . . . Seven ways hearing aids are better than baked goods 1. The pleasure of a baked good lasts only a few moments. Hearing aids work all the time. 2. When you put baked goods in your ears, it's hard to hear anything. But put hearing aids in your ears, and suddenly you can hear virtually everything. 3. If you’re anything like me, baked goods attack your budget every single day. Purchase hearing aids once, though, and all of your follow-up services are free for the lifetime of the devices. 4. Baked goods contain the evil gluten. Hearing aids are 100% gluten-free. 5. In 1838, France and Mexico battled for more than three months over a dispute with a pastry chef during the aptly named “Pastry War.” Hearing aids, so far as I know, have never caused an international conflict. 6. Eating too many baked goods can lead to nagging from your spouse. Hearing aids can actually improve strained relationships. (In fact, your spouse will encourage you to use them!) 7. Baked goods go great with strawberry jam. Hearing aids . . . well OK, not so much. Score one for the baked goods. The passion we share Despite what we believe are seven (OK, six) compelling reasons to choose hearing aids over baked goods, Jana and I realize we may be on the losing end of this argument. As we sip our coffee and nibble our koblihy, we watch David and Dave making people happy, day in and day out. Regulars and newbies alike dig into their favourite treats while the two hearing professionals in the corner dream of a day when people are just as excited to improve their hearing as they are to feel the satisfying tear of a flaky croissant between their teeth.
www.CampbellRiverMirror.com
Like David and Dave, we’re passionate about making people’s lives better. No matter how passionate we are, though, or how great our recipes for better hearing, we’ll never get the line-ups of excited patrons that Dave’s Bakery sees every day. In fact, people tend to avoid seeing us for as long as possible. When they do finally decide to do something about their decreased hearing sensitivity, they’re rarely as excited about being fitted for hearing aids as they are about sinking their teeth into a jelly doughnut. But here’s the thing: So many people we fit for hearing aids say to us, “I should have done this a long time ago – thank you for making my life better!” Just as David and Dave get a kick out of each new rave review on Trip Advisor, Jana and I get our reward from moments like these. Making lives better is exactly what we strive to do – we improve strained relationships, put the fun back into social gatherings and significantly improve quality of life for so many people. Hey, wait a minute . . . Maybe our hearing clinic isn’t so different from Dave’s Bakery after all. As soon as you finish one of their goodies, you want more. Once you get a “taste” for your new life with improved hearing, you also want more – you want to keep coming back to fine-tune your devices to their maximum potential and to fix any of the little problems that develop through normal use. When you rediscover all the sounds you’d forgotten were even there, it’s a sensation you never want to be without. Ready for the best part? Your spouse won’t even try to stop you from coming back for more –when you do, though, leave the bib shorts at home. If you’re interested to find out what you might be missing, call us at 250.914.3200 to book a free hearing assessment. After you visit us at 780-D 13th Avenue, reward yourself with a treat from Dave’s Bakery! To read some of our past articles, or for more information, visit www.tohear.ca PAID ADVERTISEMENT

Discovery Chiropractic intends to re-locate its business to 1241 Dogwood once a new building has been constructed. “We are excited to move our clinic to the new Dogwood Street location, as this allows us to expand our facilities and services, while also assisting with downtown revitalization by building a new and aestheticallypleasing building in the downtown core,” said Dr. Richard Cronk. “We are so grateful to the city for their overwhelming support for this project; once this sobering assessment centre is in place, it will function as a point of contact to individuals in need and function as a resource centre for the downtown core,” said Lagueux. Paul Mason, program manager for the Campbell River Housing Resource Services (a program of Campbell River Family Services Society), also said that “the sobering/assessment centre will be unique to the North Island and will provide a service that has been identified by the partners who work with the homeless as something much needed in our community.” City Council approved the land exchange at its

THEY SAID IT: ““We’re not ignoring that segment of our population.”
– Camille Lagueux, Campbell River Family Services Society
Aug. 12, 2014 in-camera meeting. Campbell River Family Services Society is a non-profit, charitable organization that has been providing services since 1977 to individuals, children and families living in the Campbell River area. The society offers a wide range of programs and services including support, counselling, education, prevention and crisis intervention. The sobering assessment centre will allow police called to attend an incident involving an intoxicated person to take them to the centre where the individual will be assessed. If he or she is determined to need emergency care, they will be taken to the hospital. If not, they can be kept at the centre where they can “sleep it off.” The service takes the pressure off the hospital emergency room while providing care for home-

less people. While it has the benefit of reducing costs to taxpayers, the centre also provides a humane approach to dealing with homelessness. “It means we’re doing the right thing,” Lagueux said. “We’re not ignoring that segment of our population.” The only other sobering assessment centre on the Island is in Victoria. This service was identified in a needs assessment survey conducted in February in anticipation of the conclusion of the successful trial
of a downtown homeless shelter involving a converted metal storage shed. Lagueux pointed out that the sobering assessment centre is not a shelter but it fills the gap between having no service and the high barrier shelter on Evergreen Road which does not accept intoxicated individuals. The centre will be used mostly in the evenings as a sobering assessment facility. During the day it will serve as a drop-in centre for the homeless community.

A fall class at the Campbell River Art Gallery with renowned artist John Schevers will reinvent the collage-making process for those in attendance. In the class, “Manipulating Collage,” taking place Saturday, Sept. 27 and Sunday, Sept. 28, participants will create works of art, adding effects and textures using Schevers’s unique techniques. As a multi-media artist, Schevers is constantly pushing the boundaries of his materials and experimenting to add greater texture and depth to his
Quartet for Quadra of the leading stringed instrument collectors in the world: the CHIMEI Culture Foundation. The Rogeri violin dated 1698 and the Storioni violin dated 1780, as well as the Storioni cello dated 1778, were originally crafted in Cremona, Italy. The Mantegazza viola is from Milano, dated 1791. In its short career, the Borealis String Quartet has toured internationally and performed to sold-out audiences in major cities of the world from New York to Rome to Beijing. Borealis was invited to play at the Aboriginal Pavilion during the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, and more recently, has established ties with Asia, touring and teaching in Taiwan. Quartet-in-Residence
at UBC for more than ten years, its most recent residency has been at the Casalmaggiore International Music Festival in Italy. Beginning this fall, Borealis will be Quartet in Residence at Kwantlen University in Langley. Performing for such dignitaries as the Dali Lama and the Prime Minister of Canada, Borealis was the only classical group to be selected for the Great Canadian Dream competition televised across the nation. Among other awards, Borealis’ most recent album was nominated for the prestigious Golden Melody Award in Asia Following a performance in Calgary, the Calgary Herald wrote: “With its intense, focused

both the good and the bad times. She also had high praise for city staff. “I would like to recognize our city staff, our dedicated professional public servants, who have all been patient and helpful and go that extra mile to answer council’s questions and provide the information we need to do our job,” Storry said. “It has been an honour to work with them, and good to know our community is in good hands as I step back from this role.” Storry, who was first elected to council in 2005 and served for three terms, said she is excited

Storry said she looks forward to spending more time with her grandkids. “I’m really fortunate that I have grandchildren just down the street and I can be actively involved in their daily activities,” Storry said. But while she intends to retire from local government, Storry has no plans of leaving her day job or of disappearing from the public eye. “I’m going to continue to work in the travel industry and I’m probably going to join the

shelter on the vacant City-owned property at 1241 Dogwood Street last winter, the City and RCMP are in full support of it operating from this location again during the coldest months of the year.

Campbell River city councillor Larry Samson wants to stay on at city hall. “I believe that Campbell River is going though some exiting times right now,” he said, “and we’re seeing the positive development that’s taking place in our city. We’ve turned the corner since the Catalyst mill site shut down, and I think it’s exciting to be a part of this community right now. We’re continuing to see positive growth, and I want to be part of it as we move forward.” Samson is completing his first term as councillor, but is proud of what he’s been a part of thus far, and is looking forward to continuing to build on that work. He’s particularly proud of his role in developing the last Strategic Community Plan, which is the document that each council sets forth when they first take office and determines the priorities of the community and
how it will move forward. Previous councils have had to make multiple changes to their strategic plan, Samson said, and the fact that the current council has only needed one alteration (changing the Willow’s Pub into office space), demonstrates how well researched it was, and how well the needs of the community were addressed, due in large part to the consultation process within the community that happened when building that document. He’s also looking forward to building on the work the Public Safety Subcommittee, which he chairs, has been doing. “We’ve taken a really proactive approach to things like homelessness, medical marijuana grow ops, vandalism, and we’re addressing some of the issues that come along with the increased number of contractors in town (for the John Hart Dam project).” His main focus if reelected, he said, will be

the creation of a Community Health Network, which will be an organization within the community that brings all the different players together to create a healthier community. “This could be anything from walking trails to organizations that provide services to different segments of the population,” he said. “The hospital provides, they say, about 15 per cent of the health needs of a community,” Samson said. “So that means 85 per cent of your health needs are other things that affect your wellbeing. It could be your exercise, your eating habits, support services in the community or different

agencies like family services, Success by Six, different agencies like that. All this comes together to make a healthy community. That’s one of the things I’m excited about, bringing all these things together in a Health Network.” He also wants to continue to develop services and programs for all the segments of the population, rather than focusing on certain groups. “I want to see a city that’s there for the families, that’s there for the youth, and that’s there for the seniors. I think we’ve set the framework to accomplish that,” he said. The challenge, as he sees it, is to take into consideration what everyone wants, and make as much of it a reality as possible. “We’re seeing demand for an all-weather sports field; we’re seeing boaters wanting a new or expanded boat ramp facility; we’re facing aging infrastructure like the fire hall that needs to be looked at. We’re also seeing different departments wanting and looking at increasing staff, like the RCMP, Bylaw Enforcement, Fire Department. Citizens have approached me saying that they want year-round yardwaste pickup, as another example. It will be a challenge to balance between what’s reasonable and doable, while taking into account the problem of taxation and funding levels.” Born and raised in Campbell River, Samson said his long career with the fire service exposed him to a lot of different types of situations that left him better able to adapt to situations that change unexpectedly, at times. His extensive volunteer work within the community also allows him to see things from multiple perspectives, and in drawing on those
perspectives, he is to better able to represent a larger percentage of the population. “I have an 87 year-old mother who lives here,” he said, “and I have an 18 month-old granddaughter here, so I see both ends of the spectrum and see where we need to be as a community and how we need to support the different needs of our citizens. “I go to the family gyms, and you can’t tell me there’s not a baby boom going on here. There are families and kids everywhere, and I think that’s fantastic. That tells me we’re doing something right.” He used examples like being at the pool with his grandson and seeing, “a class of moms with their babies,” and thinking, “This is cool,” and recently seeing a dozen or so youth playing pickup basketball on a recently renovated court, “and I thought, ‘if we hadn’t redone that court, where would those kids be?’” Samson mainly just wants people to know, as he kicks off his reelection campaign, that he’s all about Campbell River, is proud of what his role has been and enthusiastic about what it could continue to be. “I’m excited about what the future holds for the city, because I think, and it sounds corny, but I think this is the greatest place in the world.” First chance to meet candidates The first all candidates meetings for municipal candidates will be put on by the Campbell River Senior’s Centre Society in mid-October. The candidates for councillor debate issues Oct. 17 from 7 to 9 p.m. and the mayoral candidates do the same on Oct. 19 at the same time. Both debates will take place at the Sportsplex.

Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive underway
Contractors D
irectory
The BC Thanksgiving Food Drive (BCTFD) is happening in Campbell River this week, and your help is important! During the week, local volunteers have delivered donation bags to residential addresses. Those who want to participate will place non-perishable items in the bag, and leave it out on their doorstep by 10 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 20. Volunteers will return to pick up the bags and deliver them to The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. BC Food Banks help almost 100,000 people each month. The BC Thanksgiving Food Drive, coordinated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, helps to provide donations to local food banks to meet these needs. You can help by donating non-perishable food. If your area is not canvassed (at present there are not enough volunteers to cover all of Campbell River), you are welcome to drop your donation off at The Church (460 Goodwin) on the morning of September 20th between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Last year in Campbell River, 5,000 homes were visited, and 7,000 pounds of food were collected. The food drive has been in operation since 2009, and continues to grow each year. Established in 2009 as a local effort to serve those in need of food bank services in Burnaby, B.C., the BCTFD has now expanded to include dozens of partner organizations and food banks serving some 50 communities throughout the province. Its fundamental purpose is to raise material and financial support for local food banks. For more information, visit bctfooddrive.org
Volunteers will be packing donated groceries and delivering them to the Campbell River Food Bank on Saturday.

C.R. Literacy Association announces 2014-2015 programs
It is said that the Campbell River Community Literacy Association (CRCLA) has been quietly changing the face of literacy in our community for well over a decade. The 2013-2014 school year saw the CRCLA service 192 learners ages 19–83. These learners had the opportunity to realize their own literacy goals by accessing one of the six programs offered. Continuing into the 2014-2015 academic year the Association is pleased to announce the following programs; Adult Literacy, Aboriginal Family Literacy, How Do I?, Computer Literacy, Family Literacy, Literacy Outreach and Youth English as a Second Language. Unfortunately, funding for the successful English as a Second Language program has changed
and the CRCLA is unable to offer this program moving forward and into the 2014-2015 year. The association encourages individuals, requiring ESL supports, to contact the CRCLA office and efforts to help learners find other avenues for their ESL needs will be made. At their 2013 Annual General Meeting and in their 2012 annual report, the CRCLA acknowledged their success is due to the hard work of their staff, community partners, funders and especially their volunteers. This organization functions with a volunteer Board of Directors, a staff of four, and approximately 60 volunteers. T he i r c om mu n it y partners include; Campbell River Literacy Now, North Island College, School District 72, Vancouver Island Regional Library, John Howard
Society of North Island, Laichwiltach Family Life Society and MISA. The commitment of their volunteers and their community partners are the driving force behind the CRCLA’s continued success. The CRCLA Board and their staff look forward to the 2014-2015 year with excitement and enthusiasm. They have great expectations that the CRCLA will continue to grow and touch the lives of even more Campbell River citizens. Truly providing literacy for all. Their Annual General Meeting will be held on Oct. 23. If you would like more information on the CRCLA programs offered, or, if you are interested in volunteering as a tutor or as a board member, please call their office at 250923-1275.

Area D candidate focuses on infrastructure, water rates In a Press Release issued Wednesday, long time Area D resident and businesswoman Terry Honig announced her intention to run for Area D Regional Director in the Nov. 15 general election. A Vancouver Islander by birth, and owner of North Island Insultech Ltd., Honig’s roots in Area D are deep. “I moved here in 1989 and later started a business that has enjoyed steady growth and today provides employment for a number of local families,” she said. “Throughout those 25 years I have gained an appreciation of the diversity of our many different neighbourhoods. Preserving Area D’s unique country lifestyle for the enjoyment of my children and grandchildren, this is what is most important to me. As the area director, I can play an important role in protecting our rural lifestyle.” Honig expressed con-
Terry Honig
cern over the current economic sagnation that is eroding Area D’s tax base. “We need controlled growth and well planned upgrading, but it is not happening. I welcome the challenge of ensuring that Area D keeps pace with the current positive economic climate of the region. I fully understand the demographics of our senior population and the need to increase our tax base by attracting more residents, especially young families with children.” Guided by her many
years in business, Honig conveyed her concern about the dramatically rising water rates and aging infrastructure that she is observing in Area D. “We cannot simply ignore these issues since that will have a huge effect on our tax rates down the road. With my business background I understand how to apply s ound management practices and careful planning to ensure that our taxes remain low.” Honig then turned her attention to the longstanding and unsuccessful northern Area D community sewer saga. “Although the much promised sewer service died a dramatic death recently, I share with all the affected residents the profound disappointment in its collapse and the sad realization that we have all been led down the garden path on this file. It’s back to square one for all these folks. I certainly do not
support joining the City of Campbell River but obviously we need new people with new ideas to pick up the pieces.” Honig concluded her statement with the commitment to focus her efforts exclusively on Area D. “I intend to concentrate my time and energy on the issues in my constituency and to listen carefully to the voices in my community. As a team player I intend to work respectfully with our neighbours to resolve outstanding issues. I strongly feel that Area D is now at an important crossroad. We, as a rural community, can no longer afford to drop the ball of progress. Instead, we must move it down the field to achieve the goals and opportunities offered to us. With my proven skills in planning, problem solving and financial management, I am confident that I am the right choice to be the leader of Area D.”

Former principal seeks school board seat Richard Franklin has announced his candidacy for the office of School Trustee in the forthcoming election. Franklin worked in School District #72 for 31 years. He retired in 2009 from the principalship of Pinecrest Elementary School. During his long career in education, Franklin worked in many capacities. He served as both president of the CRDTA and president of the Campbell River Principals and Vice Principals Association. In 2007, he was recognized with the Distinguished Principal of the Year Award by the Canadian Association of
Principals. After retirement, Franklin became involved with the Campbell River and District Association for Community Living where he now serves as the Director of Child and Youth Services. He is a passionate advocate for children with special needs. Franklin believes that students need a wellrounded, high quality education in order to succeed in the 21st Century. “It is my goal to serve as trustee, and to help carry on a tradition of providing a great education in safe schools,” he said. But Franklin doesn’t believe the district can
Richard Franklin
rest on its laurels. “We must strive for excellence, improve achievement, and increase graduation rates, in particular for Aboriginal students,” he said. “As a board, we must advocate for adequate funding to meet these needs. Education must be a priority. “British Columbia is experiencing challenging
times. We have the highest rates of children in Canada living in poverty and high unemployment. The fact that the courts have determined that there has been bad faith bargaining on the part of the province is particularly troubling. All these factors have an impact on school climate, and ultimately, the quality of education being offered in our schools. “Locally elected trustees give the electorate a local voice on the provincial scene. Trustees need to be strong advocates for their schools, their employees, parents, and most importantly the students.”

Choose the right people to care for your furry family members Choosing a pet daycare or boarding facility or dog walker may seem like an easy task in today’s online, Googleis-just-a-click-away world. But leaving your pet at a business or with a pet walker is also scary for many pet guardians, especially if the pet caretakers are complete unknowns.
would when they’re looking for a babysitter for their child,” says Marcie Moriarty, the BC SPCA’s chief prevention and enforcement officer. “Do your due diligence – check out their qualifications or what courses they’ve taken, what certification they have, and if they have had pet first aid training.”
“If someone is going to be looking after your pet, I suggest people treat it the same as they
It’s also a good idea to search the business name online at the Better Business Bureau
or similar sites, to see if there have been complaints and if so, how many there are and the nature of the complaints, Moriarty notes. Asking questions about how the facility or person deals with behaviour management with the animals in their care is key, as well as how they introduce animals to each other, the number of animals in their care at any given time, and the animals’ sleeping arrangements,

Pet guardians should also be able to visit any pet-care related facility at any time, and know the routes taken by potential pet walkers. “While there is no national college for pet care facilities, there are recognizable qualifications you can look into,” Moriarty says. “You can also ask for references from past clients.”

Questions to ask a potential pet caretaker
include: • Can you visit all areas of the pet daycare or boarding facility? • What are the facility’s methods of training/ behaviour management (i.e. rewarding good behaviour with praise or treats)? • What is the maximum number of animals the daycare or walker or boarding facility will take? What is the ratio of pets to caretakers? • Is there any certification? What kind of training does staff have? • What happens if my pet gets injured? Or if my pet injures another pet

their pets.
Has your pet vanished? Don’t panic! You just got home from work and your pet is nowhere to be found! Your stress level climbs as it becomes increasingly obvious that your best friend has vanished into thin air. But there’s no need to panic. Start by looking in all the nooks and crannies of your home and yard. Maybe your furry little friend is fast asleep underneath your bed or in the shade of your rose bushes. If that isn’t the case, widen the search zone and start
to comb the neighbourhood with the help of family or friends.
and hope that your pet will soon find its way home.
If your search is fruitless, you might decide it’s time to call the local animal shelter or dog pound. Give a precise description of your animal. The colour of its coat, its race, and any distinctive marks are all good details. Leave your contact information so that the employees can get in touch with you quickly if they find your pet.
Don’t forget that identifying your animal with a microchip implant, a tattoo, or a tag is the best way to avoid this situation. Getting an identification microchip implanted by a veterinarian costs around $75 and is definitely the most efficient way to locate an animal that has strayed.
If you still haven’t found your pet, plaster the neighbourhood with notices featuring a recent photo of your animal. Offer a cash reward if you have the means. There are also local lost pet websites like the one on facebook called, Lost and Found Animals of Campbell River. You can post a description and photo of your lost pet for your friends and acquaintances to share. Once all this has been done, the only thing left to do is keep your eyes open, cross your fingers,
Pet I.D. microchips allow the authorities to find a lost animal more easily.

Jakeway: Election about the taxpayers the upcoming civic election is about the taxpayers. “Election day, November 15, is not about me. It is about you, the citizens, selecting a new council that respects and meets your expectations,” Jakeway said. “This election can be a positive turning point for Campbell River if the city voters choose a majority of new energetic smart council members who have a financially responsible, benevolent, yet common sense approach. Don’t let the opportunity slip away. Please vote for change and a brighter future.” Jakeway, a husband, father and a grandfather, said if he is re-elected he will work to lower taxes. “If the new council agrees, it will be operating within strict financial constraints, with minimal new revenue (lower tax rate) and reduced costs,” Jakeway said. “This is not a new concept to the private sector. Adapting these behaviours into the civic organization requires extra effort initially. There is no ‘quick fix’. Hype, fashion, and fancy words won’t make the required

changes happen. It takes real work, clarity, and patience. After changing, Campbell River will stand out both provincially and nationally.” Jakeway said if reelected he will aim to secure investment in Campbell River. “Campbell River citizens know the issues, decisions, and confusion of the last many years. In 2015 and beyond, our civic focus will be on a fresh, energetic future, a clear and positive direction, modest benevolence, and genuine respect for the taxpayers who are paying the bills,” Jakeway said. “Eliminating uncertainty and confusion is a significant magnet for new investor dollars. Believe it – they are watching. Investors are very aware of every
local government vote and outcome.” Jakeway, a semi-retired small business owner and president of CR Storage Warehouses, also plans to continue his open door policy. “Although people each have different needs they all have the same basic desire, to be heard and respected,” he said. “When a taxpayer, business owner, developer, not for profit organization, potential investor, or visitor interacts with the city of Campbell River they must all receive timely and quality customer service and they must come away feeling satisfied about the experience.” Jakeway said with him at the helm, Campbell River will be a place everyone wants to be.

What is National Forest Week? National Forest Week is sponsored across Canada by many individuals and diverse governmental and non-governmental organizations across Canada. During National Forest Week, Canadians are invited to learn more about Canada’s forest heritage and to raise awareness about this valuable and renewable resource. Forests are fundamental to our economy, culture, traditions and history – and to our future. Communities, families and individuals depend on forests for their livelihood and way of life. As Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, I’m looking forward to celebrating National Forest Week, Sept. 21 – 27. This year’s theme, Sunrise in the Forest, not only speaks to the natural beauty of B.C.’s forests, but the resiliency of the forest sector. Since the downturn of 2009, B.C.’s forest economy has been steadily recovering. From 2009 to 2013, timber harvesting has increased 47%, the value of B.C.’s forest product exports increased by 53% to a total of $11.6 billion and employment increased by 13% providing 58,000 direct jobs throughout the province. In 2009, government introduced the Wood First Act to require that wood be considered as a primary building material in public sector construction, and 53 local governments, including Campbell River, have followed suit by adopting Wood First bylaws, policies or resolutions of their own. The Campbell River airport expansion completed in 2011 showcases the beauty of wood.
To ensure we have forests for future generations to enjoy, companies are legally required to reforest the areas they harvest. While an average of 200 million seedlings are planted each year, in 2014, we managed to plant over 240 million. We manage our forests for 11 different values, including provisions for wildlife habitat, cultural heritage, biodiversity and recreation. The provincial National Forest Week coalition has also produced a Tree Identification App. It will be available for download fromhttp://www.abcfp.ca/about_us/events/ national_forest_week.asp The app provides photos and information on every native tree found in B.C., and also allows you to take photos and record notes and GPS the location of your favourite trees! I encourage you to take the time to enjoy and learn more about B.C.’s forests this National Forest Week.

Growing a Career in Forestry Why did you choose a career in Forestry? As a girl growing up in North Vancouver, a career in forestry was not exactly on my radar. I honestly didn't even know it was an option! But when I found out about UBC’s Forest Resources Management bachelor program, something clicked – maybe I could earn a living doing something that kept me outside and healthy, while managing a resource I cared deeply about. So I did a bit of research on the job prospects and then decided to go for it! Tell us about your typical day or week? At the beginning of my career, I was spending the majority of my time outdoors, far from civilization, experiencing the wild areas of BC first-hand. These days, I spend the majority of my time in the office writing reports, preparing professional rationales, coordinating resources and supervising other professionals. But I still get out to the field a few times a month, since most of my work is still based on what’s happening in the forest! What makes you proud of the work you do? I am proud of the work I do, because I know that I am making a difference in forest management that aligns with the values British Columbians hold for their natural resources. By making sure that all resource values are considered and managed sustainably prior to development, I can assure the people of BC that their best interests are being upheld. What are some of the great job perks you get to experience as a Forest Professional? I find both the field and office portions of my job very cool for many reasons. In the field, I get to take helicopters, float planes, boats, 4x4 pickups, ATVs and UTVs to my work sites. At our company, most of us use iPad tablets to record information, take pictures, navigate and write on digital maps.

Kim Lefebvre, RPF Forestry Team Lead Strategic Natural Resource Consultants
The field work is strenuous in Coastal BC, but I'm proud to be one of those who are tough enough to thrive in it. Our team uses hand-held radios, satellite phones and GPS messengers to stay in contact with civilization and each other. One of my most memorable moments was seeing a pack of wolves running along a river from my bird's-eye view in a helicopter, before setting down and going to work. Back at the office, I utilize our innovative and resourceful GIS team, who operate state-of-the-art technology, to generate maps and supporting information for my reports. Our company is a provincial leader in seeking out and applying technologies such as LiDAR and 3D imagery in the natural resource sector. This makes for an exciting dynamic at work, especially when we discover new ways to use technology to our advantage. Another job perk that I enjoy is the variety. Being a diversified consultant offers an array of projects to work on, not only in traditional forestry, but in the energy sector (windfarms, hydroelectricity),community forests, recreation management, wildfire protection, First Nations relationshipbuilding and so on. Our team is as diverse as our projects, with professional biologists, timber cruisers, engineers, forest professionals and many others on staff to provide support to each other and offer their unique expertise on various projects.

Best in Bush X5! Western Forest Products’ Ray Robazza, Cindy Fife, Tony Clark, and Sue McDonald won the “Best in the Bush” Cup in 2014. This makes five consecutive wins for this team. Congratulations on this impressive feat! Tony Clark led off the relay with the stock saw cut. Sue McDonald ran the choker across the pond and hooked the log. Ray Robazza and Cindy Fife bucked a cookie off the log with the two-man crosscut saw. And Tony Clark rounded out the relay with his unerring axe-throwing. Eleven teams competed in the Campbell River Salmon Festival’s Best in the Bush challenge on Friday, August 8. This competition is open to teams from the local communities from the Comox Valley to Northern Vancouver Island, and the adjacent islands. Competition was fierce. Teams came from Interfor, Strategic Natural Resource Consultants, Crowhurst Forest Management Group, the “Young Bucks”, additional WFP teams, and others.
The Salmon Festival also provided youth with an opportunity to compete in logger sports events. Events for youth included choker race, block quarter split, and nail driving. Novice, intermediate, and professional c o m p e t i t o r s contended for cash prizes. Events included springboard chop and birling. Canadian and World Championships were awarded at the 2014 Salmon Festival. If you missed the live competitions, plan to watch the events on TSN this fall. Many local businesses sponsored the Campbell River Salmon Festival. As a registered charity, the Salmon Festival Society has supported community celebrations for more than 40 years. They deliver world-class logger sports competitions, outdoor entertainment, an annual parade and more.

WORKING TOGETHER FOR LOCAL PROSPERITY Three things to remember about BC’s coastal forest industry: 1. BC’s forests are a renewable resource and our trees are harvested sustainably. 2. Harvesting trees within BC’s working forest creates local, reliable, high-paying jobs. 3. Local companies pay taxes in your community and support local groups and teams. The Truck Loggers Association has 434 member companies, 78 are based in Campbell River. We’re working to keep you working.
Carihi Secondary School is offering a Forestry Education Program for grade 10, 11 and 12 students using 21st Century learning strategies (project/student inquiry based), that will see students learning outside of the traditional classroom. This is only one of two forestry programs on Vancouver Island, and only three others in the province. This course builds employable skills by using a hand’s on approach that will educate students on BC’s largest natural resource—forestry. This course offers students a curriculum with a variety of experiences, including numerous field trips around our community and into numerous forestry settings right in their own back yard.

Lets’ Talk Trees: Public opinion sought through community survey, open house events. Help sow the seeds of Campbell River’s future urban forest this fall by participating in an online survey and attending open house events. The first of two open house events will be held from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, September 25 at the Campbell River Museum (470 Island Highway).The survey link is posted on the City’s website (www.campbellriver.ca) under What’s New. “The City and Greenways Land Trust are working together to develop an urban forest management plan, and we’re now looking for public feedback,” explains Ross Milnthorp, the City’s general manager of parks, recreation and culture. The first phase of Campbell River’s Urban Forest Management Plan was completed in 2013, and included an inventory of tree canopy. The second phase will establish guidelines and actions to preserve and enhance Campbell River’s urban forest, including plans for canopy cover growth, new tree planting, tree health and maintenance, tree protection and budgeting. “A key part of this second phase is to hear from community members about the key issues that affect Campbell River’s urban forest today and how best to develop community-supported targets for future canopy cover and any proposed tree management bylaw,” says Erin Nowak, operations manager with Greenways Land Trust.
valued appropriately relative to other forms of civic infrastructure and to keep these natural assets thriving in an urban setting through ongoing planning, maintenance and monitoring.” Findings from Campbell River’s urban forest inventory include: • • • • • •
•
Campbell River is home to 3.4 million trees. Canopy cover across the entire city boundary is 58%; within the developed Urban Containment Area (UCA), it is 33%. Relative to the North American average of 27% canopy cover, Campbell River is performing well. With 2,800 street trees in the city, the most common species are flowering cherry, red maple, Norway maple and katsura. Campbell River’s street trees have a replacement value of $2.2 million. Each tree provides, on average, $67 worth of ecosystem services annually in the form of carbon sequestration and storage, greenhouse gas emission reduction, stormwater interception, air pollution removal, energy savings, increased commercial activity in business areas and increased real estate value. For every $1 Campbell River invests in street trees the community receives a return of $4 in ecosystem services.
Additional information about the Urban Forest Management Plan is posted on the City’s website under Parks, Recreation and Culture /Urban Forest. The direct link to the survey is: https://www. surveymonkey.com/s/CampbellRiverUFMPsurvey For more information, please call the Campbell River Parks Department at 250-286-7275.
“All of the community’s trees, vegetation and soil contribute to the urban forest, and this provides a wealth of social, economic and environmental benefits to people who live in urban communities,” Milnthorp adds. “We want to make sure these important assets are

Logging and Tourism Create a Win-Win on Maurelle Island Although not the usual headline, the successful cohabitation between logging and tourism on Maurelle Island (near Quadra Island) this summer is worth celebrating. Both industries are important to BC’s economic and social well-being and balancing the industries’ combined interests results in far more benefits than choosing one over the other. And, like many forestry/tourism news stories, it didn’t start out that way. It was this time last year that news coverage spoke of disappointment among local tourism operators who feared that logging in Okisollo Channel would dissuade kayakers and tourists, threatening their livelihood. The channel is well protected and close to
www.CampbellRiverMirror.com
marine parks for whale watching. Local logging contractors were likewise concerned that calls for yet-another logging moratorium would shrink the working forest again, currently only 16% of the coastal land base, and threaten their livelihood. The channel has a history of logging dating back to the late 1800s. Given that this was a BC Timber Sale, finding a win-win solution was the responsibility of BCTS manager Norm Kempe, RPF. Being a scenic corridor, Maurelle Island was already subject to visual constraints, which limit visible harvesting to a maximum of seven per cent. Efforts were undertaken by Mr. Kempe to determine the key viewpoints along the channel, where the kayakers travel and stop for picnics and camping. Then computer modelling was undertaken to minimize the visual impact harvesting would have in these areas. Substantial visual buffers were also incorporated along the foreshore and standing trees were retained in the planned cut blocks so as to better blend into the natural terrain. One of the more significant (and costly) changes to the planned harvesting was the decision to barge harvested logs off the Island instead of using a traditional log dump, eliminating booming ground construction and signs of logging activity near the water. Further, no barging took place in July and August, the peak tourism months. According to Mr. Kempe, “the post-harvest viewscape closely matched what was modeled. Both the licensee and the contactor did an excellent job of road building, harvesting and tidying up the barge loading area and log storage site.”
contributed to the local and provincial economies. Combined, however, the jobs sustained and revenues generated are greater than either industry could have generated individually, revenues which support and sustain our communities, our 6 schools and our hospitals.

Not every tourism/logging issue can MONTHLY be reconciled+ in this TAX manner. But recognition that the sum of both industries is greater than either individually is a good place to start. Respectful communication and understanding of each others concerns are essential, followed by careful planning and mutual accommodation. In the Maurelle Island example, this led to both harvesting and kayaking in the waterways surrounding the island—a clear win-win for the communities and industries involved.

Western Forest Products Logging Fundamentals Training Program Western Forest Products (WFP) has just graduated its 6th class of trainees from its seven week Logging Fundamentals Training Program at Englewood Forest Operation in Woss. Graduates are destined for entry-level logging jobs in the BC coastal forest industry. The program is managed under the leadership of Operations Manager, Randy Boas and two experienced loggers, Lawrence Hiebert and Dave Weymer. Randy Boas explains, “The intention is to ensure the trainees have a good foundation of coastal logging practices so they can safely enter the forest industry. Rather than relying on peer training, we want to do this in a controlled setting with instructors adhering to a curriculum.” WFP developed the comprehensive training program focused on worker safety, environmental awareness and the core skills necessary for entry into this demanding occupation. Training modules based on WorkSafeBC handbooks form the foundation for theory and practical learning. The students learn to identify hazards and assess risk, communicate and move safely as they set chokers on logs, rig stumps, buck logs and work around equipment. Candidates were interviewed and tested to ensure that the best possible trainees are invited into the program. Since its inception in 2012, the Logger Fundamentals Training Program has graduated 34 students, many of whom have found longterm work placement with WFP, its contractors or other forest companies. United Steel Workers Local 1-1937 supports the training initiative and recognizes the need to train the next generation of loggers. The future of the industry relies on young people making the forest industry their career of choice. WFP’s next training program will take place this month. For more information on the program and how to apply visit www.westernforest.com

Discovery Passage Aquarium volunteers and sponsors spent last Saturday releasing its creatures back into their natural habitats. Volunteers took the sea life out of their tanks inside the aquarium and passed them one by one to special guests who got the opportunity to transport them in buckets back into the ocean. One group spent the morning lowering buckets of sea stars and crabs off the pier and into the water while another went down to the beach beside the Maritime Heritage Centre to release the sea life. Pictured, aquarium volunteers Steve Auffray and Maura Dybwad prepare to release a Dungeness crab off the pier. The aquarium is now closed for the season and is expected to re-open in May.

How do you get around?
Campbell River Citizens on Patrol reminding drivers to be extra attentive
Provincial government begins planning for next 10-year transportation plan MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The provincial government wants to know how you get from point A to point B (and maybe to point C, too). On Monday, Sept. 15, Jordan Sturdy, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Transportation Todd Stone, was in Campbell River to meet with various community officials and discuss transportation within and between communities on Vancouver Island. The series of stakeholder meetings, hosted by Sturdy on behalf of the Transportation Minister, will be attended by elected local government officials, First Nations and other community leaders, including local Chambers of Commerce and port and airport authorities, and will take place in seven Vancouver Island centres (Victoria, Duncan, Nanaimo, Port Alberni, CourtenayComox and Port Hardy are the others). According to Sturdy, the ministry and Premier have determined that Vancouver island is in dire need of a reexamination of its transportation infrastructure, an has made the region a priority for improvements. This series of meetings is the first step in determining those priorities and addressing those service and infrastructure gaps.
“Every community is different, and therefore has different needs, some of which aren’t being fulfilled,” said Sturdy. “This consultation is to determine where each community feels it fits within the big picture (of transportation) on the Island, as well as getting right down to the details of improvements they feel need to be made within those communities.” Campbell River mayor Walter Jakeway was in attendance at Monday’s meeting, and said he felt most of the ideas he brought to the table were well received. Jakeway raised the possibility of a BC Ferry from the lower mainland (Tsawwassen or Horseshoe Bay) to the terminal at Port Hardy, which he said would encourage more tourism to the North Island region, but also said he had little confidence that particular idea would go anywhere. He was, however, encouraged by the response to his proposals for a connection to be made between Evergreen Road and the Inland Highway and a transit system of some kind between the two new hospitals. “They say that these new hospitals are actually one hospital on two sites,” Jakeway said, “so it would be good if transportation between them could be easier for the
public. In terms of the interchange, I was told they’d head out there (to the end of Evergreen) and look around and see what it would take to do it, so that’s a step in the right direction, anyway.” Jakeway said he’s been talking for a while about a “Metro-Mid-Island” theory for integrating the various communities behind one plan, and transportation would be a big part of that. “We should be thinking about our area in broader terms,” he said. “One of the keys to that is to make moving between areas easier.” Jakeway said he also raised the issue of there being no public floatplane dock or helicopter pad anywhere near downtown, as well as the need for more RVfriendly campsites, and thought those suggestions were taken under advisement, as well. After all the community consultation meetings have taken place, the information garnered will be taken back to Minister Stone to begin the planning on the ministry’s 10-year plan. The development of that plan will involve another round of community and public consultation before the final strategy is implemented and the priorities of the government, in terms of transportation, are set through the end of this decade and into the next.
With children likely to return to school next week, Campbell River Citizens on Patrol is reminding drivers to refocus, particularly as it relates to driving with care in school zones. “We all want our children to be safe from harm,” said RCMP Inspector Jeff Preston. He added that drivers sometimes become complacent during the summer months and develop bad driving habits. “With children returning to school it becomes extremely important to adhere to posted speed limits, coming to full stops at intersections, remembering that pedestrians have priority at crosswalks, remaining alert and watchful,” Preston said. Campbell River Citizens on Patrol assist the RCMP in Speed Watch and Cell Watch activities. Their involvement enhances public safety awareness and raises drivers’ awareness by presenting a visual display of their respective speeds.
Ever ything from marine infrastructure and airport facilities to highway maintenance, cycling routes and traffic lights are being examined. “One of the things that we were reminded of, that we sometimes forget,” said Sturdy of the Campbell River meeting, “was that Campbell River is ‘mid-Island,’ not ‘north-Island,’ as we sometimes consider it, so there’s a great potential for it to be a great transportation hub. It’s almost smack in the middle between Victoria and Port Hardy, and sometimes people forget that.”

According to the group, reading the display board acts as reinforcement for drivers who adhere to posted speed limits and can also act as a wake-up call for drivers who exceed the speed limit. Motorists talking on their cell phones while driving are also reminded that doing so is not only unlawful but contributes significantly to pedestrian and motor vehicle accidents. Campbell River Citizens on Patrol Speed Watch members will be focusing their efforts on school zones over the next few weeks. When you see them set up, and are passing by, why not give them a wave or a thumbs up for their dedication and commitment to public safety?

Many golfers came from the mainland and the rest from all over the Island for the Storey Creek Labour Day Men’s Amateur Golf Tournament. Other than a 25 minute weather delay the first day, the rain held off and the course was in great condition thanks to superintendent Rob Watson. Head Chef Paul Heywood produced 4 amazing meals and the Pro Shop staff ran a professional, organized tournament. Joe Knight from Storey Creek (who was 10 back through day 1, Saturday and entered the final round 4 back) shot 66, 68 (Sunday/Monday) to tie Greg Koster through 54 holes at 4-under par. A sudden-death playoff started on the par 3 7th hole. Joe teed off first and hit it to 8 feet. Koster also hit his on the green but was about 30 feet away. After a good twoputt by Koster, Joe knight had a putt for the win but just missed it to the right. On the par 5 #8 hole (second playoff hole) Knight hit his second shot to 120 yards and left Koster with a decision to

Joe Knight hit a wedge to about 20 feet all but forcing Koster to get up and down for par from behind the hazard. Koster hit his shot to about 15 feet and after Joe Knight 2-putted for par, was left with a must-make putt to keep the playoff going, which he missed.

Goodenough has had enough of old garage sale signs KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Have you ever wondered where your old garage sale signs have ended up? They just may have been picked up by a Good Samaritan who’s been taking down signs around the community for 15 years. Donna Goodenough said on a good day she picks up more than 20 signs. At Tuesday’s council meeting, Goodenough arrived with a pile of paper, plastic and cardboard garage sale signs that she took down over the course of one week. Goodenough said two signs in particular made her cringe. “These two lovely signs were in our lovely town this weekend,” Goodenough said, holding up two large homemade cardboard signs. “This address is in Courtenay. Why should we have Courtenay’s garbage in Campbell River. “This pile, 23 signs, is just one week’s worth,” Goodenough continued.
“During the busy garage sale season I take down in excess of 55 every week.” Goodenough said after routinely overflowing her recycling bin and garbage cans with other people’s signs, she finally had enough. “If there’s a sign in my car from an area near where I’m going I’ll take the signs and flip it out the window onto their driveway,” Goodenough said. “Lately I’ve been getting a little bit heavyhanded with it and not only do I give them their sign but I give them a couple more too.” Goodenough said on one occasion, someone reported her to the RCMP who threatened to fine her $200 for littering. “I of course denied it,” Goodenough said, to which Mayor Walter Jakeway replied that two RCMP members – Sgt. Troy Beauregard and Insp. Jeff Preston – were in attendance at the meeting which elicited a roar of laughter from the gallery.

G o o d e nou g h s ai d instead of fessing up, she approached the city’s bylaw officer, Karl Read, but he didn’t tell her what she wanted to hear. “Karl did tell me he’s the only one who has the authority to take these down and I said ‘well, sorry Karl,’” Goodenough said. “I know he’s busy and this is a real low priority for him but it’s important to me and my community. So I took matters into my own hands and I’m here now.” Jakeway said Goodenough is likely not alone and that the owners of the poles people nail their signs to would probably like to see the signs taken down in a timely fashion. “There’s another party that’s involved in signs and that’s the people who own the poles - Telus and BC Hydro,” Jakeway said. “Those are actually property of those two parties and they may be interested.” Goodenough said if council does not have the time to crack down
on removal of old garage sale signs, she’s more than willing to share her ideas. “Even though I’m antisign, I could stand one more city-made sign that says ‘delinquent signs are subject to a fine’ or something like that,” Goodenough said. “Or you could do a reward system for kids that bring in signs.” Coun. Andy Adams thanked Goodenough for her years of community service and suggested she get in touch with Clean Living, the community clean-up group led by Susan Black. Adams also suggested the city add a friendly reminder to take down garage sale signs in its City Currents ad which runs in both community newspapers. Coun. Larry Samson asked city clerk Peter Wipper whether council could insert a restriction on garage sale signs into the city’s nuisance bylaw, which city staff are in the process of updating and finalizing. “We joke about it
and we had some fun,” Samson said of Goodenough’s presentation, “but it is a serious issue. We see it at our transit stops, the litter, we see it at our convenience stores and this is just one more thing.” Wipper said city staff could look at adding a section on garage sale
signs to the nuisance bylaw if it’s council’s wish. “You can look forward to having something before you at the next council meeting specifically addressing the concerns of the delegation,” Wipper said. Council meets again on Oct. 7.

Distracted drivers get an earful On Sept. 16, at 11 a.m., Campbell River RCMP partnered with North Island Traffic Services and conducted a road check at Petersen Road and 16th Avenue. Seventeen seatbelt violation tickets were issued at $167 each, two drive while distracted using an electronic device while driving – at $167 each – and three notice and orders to repair defective vehicles were issued, RCMP Cpl. Poppy Hallam reported. This road check was conducted over a one and a half hour period so the numbers of drivers and occupants without seatbelts was quite high. As for distracted drivers, the two violation tickets were issued to people who obviously were distracted enough to still be using their device while approaching the road check. “One driver thought that since they had their cell phone on blue tooth, they were exempt, yet they were holding onto the cell phone and speaking into it,” Hallam said. “If your cell phone is on hands free, then it should be just that, hands free. If you are holding onto your cell phone, then you are considered using an electronic device and there really is no difference between having that cell phone up to your ear or holding it in front of you utilizing the speaker phone.

Brief case chained to a tree? On Sept. 16, between 1:30 p.m. and 9 p.m., someone pushed down a tree on the walking trail of Pine Road by North Island College and stole a grey pelican brief case that was chained up to the tree. Inside that case was a Larson Expert LXT sound monitoring system, used to record noise levels. This is a specific piece of equipment that is valuable to the user and cost over $10,000. If you have any information on the whereabouts of this system, call the RCMP or Crime Stoppers.

What the heck is a BPWN? WBPN? BPNW? Or BPWN? The four letters have a lot of people confused about the group, its purpose or even just who can be part of it. Not to worry, many members still get the acronym mixed up! BPWN stands for Campbell River’s Business and Professional Women’s Network, a group founded over twenty three years ago. Now that the grammatical lesson is over, lets demystify some myths about them. Most believe BPWN to be an exclusive group. In reality, everyone can attend a monthly meeting, as a guest or become a member if they choose to do so. Running dinner meetings at the Royal Coachman for the most part, BPWN welcomes business owners, professionals and self-employed individuals to come expose their business and skills to Campbell River’s business community. If I am not a lady, I cannot attend. Absolutely not! Many male guests have joined the meetings over the years. The group recognizes that many businesses in Campbell River are run by mixed gendered partners and welcomes everyone to their networking nights. The group is quite close and I don’t know any members. While recognizing that networking can be intimidating, especially if it is your first time attending an event where you don’t know anyone, BPWN has taken many steps over the years to welcome newcomers and put them at ease. Many guests were anxious about their first visit, but left the meeting with new friends, contacts and the feeling that BPWN is a group they could belong to. The best time to get to know the group and its mechanics, or elect and join the Board of directors is at the Annual General Meeting held in September.

FAIRCLOUGH, Carle Stanley
Dec. 22, 1945 – Sept. 12, 2014 Carle passed away suddenly on Friday, September 12, 2014, surrounded by his family at the Campbell River & District Hospital. He is survived by his loving wife Kathy; his dear children Farah, Chelsea (Jeff Keenan), David Lafleur (Becky), Glenda Cook (Ryan Cranford), Kyle Blundell (Jennifer); and grandchildren Kobie, Teslan, McKeon and Maddison. He will also be sadly missed by his special friends Starr and Frank McLeod, and Dennis Tuttle. Carle was predeceased by his previous wife Rene; his children Shandis and Shad, as well as his parents Marion and Stanley Fairclough. The family wishes to extend a special thank you to the staff at Campbell River & District Hospital, especially Jo-Ann in Emergency, the Ambulance Attendants, and Sutton’s Campbell River Funeral Home for their care. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to the BC Children’s Hospital, 4480 Oak Street, Vancouver, BC V6H 3V4 would be appreciated by the family.

Leaving the loving arms of her family for the welcoming arms of her Saviour, our sweet mother left us in the early morning of September 16. Mom was born in Switzerland and came to Canada in 1951 upon a proposal of marriage from Paul, who had immigrated three years earlier. Their married life thrived for the next 20 years in Ocean Falls where eight children were born. The family flourished in this small town setting, participating in community activities and the fishing and camping opportunities afforded by the lovely Link Lake. Many life-long friendships were created during this time. The family moved to Campbell River in 1971 and Elisabeth took up gardening with an enthusiasm not rewarded in Ocean Falls’ liquid sunshine climate. She provided flowers to St Patrick’s Church and produce for the family for many years. Her selflessness and consideration for others was well known and strangers were immediately drawn in by her generosity of spirit. Her special joy was in her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Survived by Eric (Teresa), Greg (Edna), Monica, Lucy (Bruce Malone), Liz (Scott Creyke), Gilbert (Ann), Rita (Tony Vanbergen), and Barb (Mike Hanna) and their families as well as her sister Heinrika Wick and many nieces and nephews in Switzerland. A Prayer Vigil will be held at Saint Patrick’s Church on Monday, September 22 at 7 pm. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Tuesday, September 23 at 11:00 am at St Patrick’s Church. The family would like to thank all those who offered prayers, comfort and medical care during Mom’s last days.

terms of drivability is a better jump off the line and improved highway cruising. Because the new transmission reduces weight and friction, the fuel economy has improved by 16 per cent, which is an amazing accomplishment in such a small car. Rated at 7.0L/100km in the city and 5.7L on the highway, using the much tougher 2015 fuel standards, this represents fuel number buyers will actually be able to achieve. In addition, the suspension has been improved for more responsiveness but I found the ride a bit choppy over bumpy roads.

There is also the $19,195 EX trim with alloy wheels, paddle shifter and moon roof, but the big news is the inclusion of the $21,295 EX-L Navi trim. This is the EX trim with leather and navigation, making the fit downright opulent. This isn’t the least expensive car in this class but on the whole it offers so much more than just a price point.

Top Secret: Inside the Infiniti-Red Bull Racing factory
‘‘
The team holds the world record for a pit stop in 1.923 seconds!

By Keith Morgan
no rival. “Adrian draws up to 100 designs (car parts and components) a week and I mean draws, literally,” informs Silvia. His work is scanned and 3D printers generate models for testing. It’s not a one-man show: more than 600 people design, test, build and assemble the hundreds
Race route not for the fast and furious By Keith Morgan Milton Keynes, England: As we climbed into a gleaming Infiniti Q50 sports sedan, one killjoy warned the road to the Belgian Grand Prix would be like a dance – quick, quick, slow. The tour of the Infiniti-Red Bull Racing factory had us pumped and ready to roar Sebastian Vettellike, along the UK’s motorway network to Folkestone, Kent. There we would take Le Shuttle train beneath the waves of the English Channel to France and on to Spa, Belgium. It would be a 600-kilometre drive (374 miles) and take less than six hours. The doomsayer was right, try ten hours! The aforementioned four-time F1 champ influenced the production of this car so it was a neat idea to take the sharp-looking Q50 on an extended spin to a race weekend. However, plain sailing it was not as we encountered motorway chaos to the EuroTunnel. It was equal parts low-gear slow crawl, near-posted speed limit bursts – enabling a few paddleflipping-gear changes – and parking pauses long enough to test the eight-position power seat adjustments and play with the large dual touch screen infotainment displays. The navigation system ‘lady’ suggested we take the M25 the opposite way around London. Whoops. Should have ignored her. Nevertheless, this was all a blessing because the car was forced to perform in adverse conditions and its mettle/metal was truly tested. Extended time at the wheel of a 328-horsepower 3.7-litre V6 version (starts at $37,500) and a Hybrid ($10,000 more) with a 3.5-litre engine left me scratching my head about which would be my choice. Both provide a quiet, comfortable drive, not averse to a sprint when necessary, all aided by a seven-speed auto transmission that is as a smooth as a baby’s you-know-what. All-wheel-drive would be an option I would choose
on either model. Interestingly, the constantly changing speed limits flashing above helped show off the predictive forward collision technology. If you trust the car ahead, the radar-controlled gizmo will govern your speed and braking automatically. In addition, lane control keeps you on the straight and narrow should you drift into that passing car you were alerted to by another warning system. Thanks to the $320 flexi pass, we rolled with ease onto the train and smirked at the lineup with the $120 tickets. About 40 minutes later, we were enjoying the French countryside, travelling for extended periods at the construction zone speed of 30 klicks. Darkness enveloped the road ahead but our way through Belgium was lit by the most spectacular electric storm. Ah yes, the windshield wipers performed efficiently in a downpour of Biblical proportions. We finally reached Spa, birthplace of Agatha Christie’s fictional detective Hercule Poirot, and famous for its therapeutic cold springs. By the time we arrived, we’d had enough of the cold springs from above. The inclement weather didn’t dampen our spirits as we rubbed shoulders for the next two days with the fast and the fashionable in the Formula One Paddock Club at the Circuit de SpaFrancorchamps. Champers was the breakfast of champions at the 2014 Belgian Grand Prix, if you had the admission price of $3,500 burning a hole in your jeans. The food was not too shabby either: veal shank and rack of spring lamb, served with sweet corn terrine, sautéed summer vegetables, oven roasted pumpkin and port wine jus hooked me. Icy treats, desserts, anyone? – 1,000 calories a look. It was nice to end the weekend toasting the victory of the team’s own Daniel Ricciardo. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Milton Keynes, England – The security here seemingly rivals that of the most top-secret government institutions. “Without the proper finger you can’t get in,” says Silvia Halfar, grinning while prodding the fingerprint scanner. The door clicks open to the Infiniti-Red Bull Racing factory, where we would observe the hi-tech production techniques behind the success of fourtime world F1 champion driver Sebastian Vettel and the four Constructors’ Championship titles earned by the team. The design genius is indisputably Adrian Newey. With ten Constructors’ Championships under his belt, won with three different teams – Williams F1, McLaren and now Infiniti-Red Bull – he has

BOOMERS & Beyond The Mood Benefits of Yoga by Mimosa Palmberg, Bikram Yoga
Our modern day-to-day lives are busy, even when they’re not (think of how often the smart phone is open and we’re doing “important” stuff, or when we can’t slow down even when there’s nothing pressing to do). We often live with sustained stress for long periods of time, and our ability to relax and to connect with the world around us is compromised. With that stress comes a myriad of possible health problems as well as interpersonal problems. But the news is not all bad. There are many opportunities to learn to connect with yourself, with others, and with the world around you.
even first-time yoga practitioners showed a marked improvement). Interestingly, in one study, a control group of walkers was found to have some increase in GABA, but much less than the yoga practitioners. So, practice yoga today. Find a class that works for you and get there on a regular basis. Increase the GABA levels in your brain and improve your mood.
With mentoring, everyone’s a winner Seasoned workers and professionals have a lifetime of experience and knowledge that has great value, and they know the time has come to transfer it to another generation. Young adults, newly arrived on the job market, have up-todate education and job skills, but they might lack long-term strategies to attain their goals. For both groups, there is a beneficial scenario that can bring them both just what they need: mentoring. For mentors, this kind of intergenerational exchange is an opportunity to transfer their professional legacy, accumulated over many years, to the next generation. It can be a source of fulfillment and stimulation during their last few years in the job market, all while allowing them to see things from a more youthful point of view.
Yoga is one of the most powerful tools available to lift the veils of low mood and low health. It has been scientifically proven that yoga can increase the chemical neurotransmitter called GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) in the brain. Low levels of GABA have been linked to depression. Studies have shown that yoga increases GABA levels, particularly in students who practice regularly, and over prolonged periods of time (though
Prescriptions filled.

For mentorees, there is the advantage of a privileged relationship with someone who has already gone down that road. Their mentors are advisors who possess valuable networks of contacts and who can help them set professional priorities. Mentors can also help younger professionals avoid the traps and pitfalls that could hinder their rise to success or harm their work/ family balance. Some say the perfect balance of experience, wisdom, and dynamism is acquired after the age of 50, although proven success in one’s field could make a good mentor of an adult of any age. Mentoring can take diverse forms; it could involve exchanging e-mails with a student who would like to join the same profession, giving specific help to a person during a period of transition,
Mentors transfer a lifetime of professional knowledge and experience to the next generation.

BOOMERS & Beyond Stay in great shape long after 65! Do you dream of slowing down the effects of ageing? If so, you’d better get moving. No matter how old you are it is always possible to maintain or improve your health by adding some sort of physical activity to your routine. Better balance and a higher degree of independence are among the many benefits that seniors gain from exercise. Physical activity also tends to reduce the risk of falls and injury and helps prevent heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis, type-two diabetes, and some forms of cancer. Best of all, it just makes people feel better! Start gradually but aim to do at least two and a half hours of moderate or intense physical activity every week. Any exercise that lasts longer than ten minutes counts. Biking and brisk walking are considered to be moderate activities if your heart rate increases and you are capable of talking but not singing while you are moving. Intense physical exercise includes jogging and cross country skiing. During this kind of activity, you need to catch your breath after a few words because of an increased heart rate. Don’t forget to strengthen your muscles and your bones with twice weekly sessions of an activity such as stretching, yoga, walking, weights, climbing stairs, and sit-ups or push-ups. These will invigorate your heart and mind.
Dedicated grandparents There was a time when most grandparents would welcome their children and grandchildren for a family supper once in a while, but that was just about the only link they had with the people they loved most in the world. Times have certainly changed. Today, many grandparents see family members regularly and even stay in touch on a daily basis by telephone, e-mail, Skype, or Facebook. By doing this they are able to convey a real sense of family to their offspring.
generosity. They also show us that a little bit of good can be done with something as small as a helping hand, a hug, or a steaming hot apple pie! We say “thank you” to all you grandparents out there, for sharing your knowledge and your loving care.
It is in fact very reassuring for children, and very useful to parents, to know that they can always count on Gran or Grandpa if a problem arises. The lucky ones among us have grandparents who overflow with love and with the wisdom not to judge. They are trusted confidantes for broken hearts or when life delivers any other kind of blow. Grandparents can be good advisors when the time comes to discuss important decisions such as career choices or moving away from home. By telling anecdotes about their own lives, grandparents help us to understand that they aren’t perfect either, and that they were able to succeed in life by putting their mistakes behind them and looking to the future. Without us even realizing it, they illustrate the benefits of values such as respect, honesty, and
Get in the habit of looking for opportunities to do some exercise, whether it means going to the park with your grandchildren, walking up the stairs instead of taking an escalator, walking to and from the grocery store instead of going by car, or getting off the bus a few stops from home. Even if you’re not used to it now, you’ll soon see that exercise can be a real source of enjoyment.
Grandparents make great confidantes and excellent advisors.

River racers ready for record setting MOMAR Over 500 racers will be participating in the Cumberland Atmosphere Mind O ver Mountain Adventure Race (MOMAR) tomorrow, making it the largest adventure race in North America. About 20 per cent of the racers reside in the Comox Valley, with 80 per cent coming from all over BC, and as far away as Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Nova Scotia, Idaho, California and Costa Rica. “Every year we see increasing numbers of racers from outside the valley,” says Race Director Bryan Tasaka. “It has become a destination race and we’re super excited about that.” Campbell River will be well represented on Saturday, with over 20 racers at the starting line. Brittany Mckenna and Ian Graham are two of those racers, both racing in the competitive solo racer categories. Mckenna is a MOMAR veteran, having already raced in three MOMARs. Participating in the first race was a friend’s idea and, not knowing what to expect, training was sporadic.
solution. If you see something suspicious, whether it’s in a restaurant, mall parking lot, or in an isolated place, please phone 9-1-1 immediately so the police can investigate. Only with a community that cares and stands up to gangs and gang violence will we make a difference so our communities are safer.
Ian Graham hopes his Snow To Surf and other race experiences will help him in the Mind Over Mountain Adventure Race tomorrow.
“My partner and I went out in a kayak once together to make sure we didn’t sink, and did some run/ride combinations to practice transitions but, as per my usual self, we left it to the last minute to start training,” says Mckenna. The teammates were more prepared for the orienteering, one of the typically more challenging disciplines. “We did the MOMAR 101 course in our first year which really helped, and we went out in the
Cumberland forest once and navigated our way around,” recounts Mckenna. When asked to describe her favourite MOMAR memory Mckenna says, “[it was] our second year when we battled first place the whole way with our friends but lost by just a couple of minutes in the end. It was super fun though because we were stoked we still came in second.” Although Graham has participated in numerous races including half
marathons, marathons, biathlons, Snow to Surf events and a Tough Mudder, this will be his first MOMAR. He’s had to be more careful with his training compared to the past. “Being 55, a ‘bit’ older now and living an active lifestyle has, sadly, taken a bit of toll on the body,” says Graham. “The challenge for me on race day is to not to push too hard too early. In my head, I’m still 24 and as soon as the gun goes off, I know I’ll be giving my all.” In addition to racing for fitness and pleasure, Graham plans to fundraise through racing for a cause dear to him. “I am an ex-Royal Marine Commando and I’m hoping to raise funds for Wounded Warriors Canada, a non- profit organisation that supports troops suffering from PTSD.” The MOMAR is an off road multisport sprint adventure race that requires teams to mountain bike, kayak, trail run, trek, and orienteer through a series of checkpoints over scenic and rugged west coast terrain.

Newly-minted team kicks off on the right foot
Upper Island Riptide rebound with a vengeance The Under-15 Upper Island Riptide Boy’s Soccer Team played their second game of season Sunday, against Juan De Fuca-Sooke. Playing at the Sportsplex in Campbell River, the 2013-2014 Provincial A Cup Champions from Upper Island definitely had something to prove this match, having lost their season-opener to Gorge-Lakehill last weekend. The Riptide stepped up the intensity for this game and played solidly on offense and defence, leading to plenty of scoring chances throughout the match. Charlie Purcell, Eugene Park, and Jaylon Grenier scored goals in the first half while Navarre White and Purcell each netted a goal in the second. The goalies, Jared Perras and Gary Thiara, held their own between the posts stopping all shots from the opposing team, resulting in a final score of 5-0 for Upper Island. After the game Riptide’s head coach, Bruce Mitchell, commented, “I was really impressed with how the boys reacted to last weeks loss. This week we saw more intensity and a greater commitment from each and every boy. Their passing and movement was much sharper and they worked harder as a unit. That is what I am most proud of. The boys are always thrilled when they score lots of goals, but for the coaching staff it is more about how they played and not what the final score is.” The Riptide’s next game is Sunday. The team plays Upper Island Storm in Nanaimo. Game time and location to be announced later this week. Check www.leaguelineup.com/VIPL/ for details.

Cermaq City FC – a team under the umbrella of the Campbell River Masters Football Club – enjoyed a successful start to the new soccer season in the Vancouver Island Soccer League Division Three. The newly formed team, which is a combination of the two Campbell River Mens teams from last season, secured an entertaining 4-2 victory over Bays United of Victoria. Saturday was once again another glorious sunny day which added to the pleasure for the local supporters. Cemaq City had a dream start when after only four minutes, Markel Henderson scored a beautiful goal with a deft touch over the oncoming Bays goalkeeper after Eddie Lawson has knocked an excellent ball to him. The midfield of Rob Shaw, Mark Ross and Eric Roberts were beginning to take full control but somewhat against the run of play, Bays tied the game with an opportunistic strike after some confusion in the Cermaq defence. Not to be outdone, Cermaq again took the lead after 19 minutes. This time it was Henderson who was to be the provider as he nodded the ball down for the oncoming Paddy Cullen to finish in a composed fashion. Once again, however, the game was to be tied as Bays countered and punished Ceemaq after a rather fortuitous tackle ricocheted to the feet of a Bays forward who broke away and scored. The excitement of the first half was not yet over and Lawson was to Cont. page 54

Goals galore in Atom A Tyees’ opening exhibition matches As some begin to mourn the end of summer, others look forward to the beginning of another exciting hockey season. The team members of the REHN Enterprises Atom A Tyees can be included in the latter group and the season has indeed gotten off to an exciting start. The Tyees played three exhibition games at home this past weekend, taking on Comox Valley, Juan de Fuca and Powell River. On Friday night, the Tyees came out strong against the Comox Valley Chiefs in the first half of the game. Centerman Ethan Vaton opened up the scoring half way through the first period, after defenseman Ryan Deagle sent him a pass and he skated in and deked out the Chiefs defense before firing the puck in the net. Defenseman Gareth MacDonald demonstrated great hustle in his
back-check and worked with the other defensemen and the incredibly focused goalie, Emile Abele to prevent the Chiefs from scoring in the first. Despite impressive passing by the Tyees, the score would remain 1-0 at the end of the first period. The next goal came from winger Breydan Riecker who skated the puck up the ice and tucked it in the net with a beauty wrap-around goal. Unfortunately, the Chiefs managed to answer back a few minutes later, making the score 2-1 Tyees. That is when centerman Brady Estabrook went for a skate and took a shot. Winger Owen Lagos took advantage of the rebound, making the score 3-1. However, the Chiefs would put in two more before the period was through, and the score was at a 3-3 draw after the second period.
The Tyees were in tough in the third period with three goals being scored by the Chiefs in a matter of a minute and a half near the half-period mark. Deagle would respond with a shot that went post and in near the end of the frame, but it wouldn’t be enough. The final score was 6-4 Comox. Defenseman Dayton Arneson would earn the hard hat award for his gritty play. On Saturday morning, the Tyees were freshfaced and raring to go against the Juan de Fuca Grizzlies. Goalie Abele was on his game early and so was the Tyees’ offence. Estabrook opened the scoring early on in the first frame. The Grizzlies answered only moments afterwards, but Lagos put the Tyees ahead with a nice top shelf goal near the end of the first period. Riecker quickly followed Lagos with a goal

mounted an attempted comeback, scoring two quick ones minutes before the second period came to an end, making the score 5-4 Tyees after two periods. Abele continued to make amazing saves, holding off the Grizzlies in the third. Estabrook took a feed from Harris and scored his hat trick goal in the empty net, putting the nail in the coffin for the Grizzlies. The final score was 6-4 Tyees. Estabrook would earn the hardhat for his fantastic offensive and defensive efforts. The Tyees were equally full of energy on Sunday morning when they faced the Powell River Kings.
The Tyees again were first to score with Vaton going for a skate and making a beautiful pass to Riecker for the goal. The score would remain 1-0 after the first. Riecker would score the second goal, again assisted by Vaton in the middle of the second frame. Mills showed some great hustle, holding off the Kings offense. The score was 4-0 after two periods. The Tyees offense opened the third period with a pass from Riecker to winger Koehn Obuck, who shot and Vaton capitalized on the rebound. The Tyees would skate to a 7-3 victory. The hard hat would be awarded to Riecker for his offense.

supply another assist after his fine cross was knocked in at close range by Ray Wilson to enable Cermaq City to take the third lead of the game. The second half saw the local team get a comfortable grip on the game when Randy Walkus scored the fourth goal after a flick on at the near post by Cullen created a goal mouth scramble. Walkus was quick to react and secure the goal. The rotating Cermaq defence of John Jepson, Antho Seville, C olan Grobant aler, Jason Fawkes, Wilson and Walkus performed admirably in the second half and were well marshalled by keeper Preston Johnny. Cermaq could have scored a couple more as they gained in confidence. Quinton played in a spirited and tenacious
manner which resulted in a number of chances. All in all it was a very promising performance from a side just getting to know each other. Next week, Saturday, Sept. 20, Cermaq City FC travel to Salt Spring for a very difficult game. The team play at home every other week at Willow Point Sportplex with games played on a Saturday at 2:15 p.m. The next home game is Saturday, Sept. 27 against Hellas FC. n Meanwhile, two other teams associated with the CR Masters Football Club enjoyed winning starts this past Sunday.
