Mayor: no reserve fund Council Meeting Port McNeill wanted no part of it. “This is not a Cadillac community,” Furney said. “This is a basic logging camp with some frills around it, with some tourism and other assets. I can’t see the sense in charging the taxpayer money, putting it aside and sitting there with it. “You’re probably aware I’m not running in the next election, so I feel very good about being able to leave my stamp on the community where we haven’t frittered away money unnecessarily planning on things that never happened.”

J.R. Rardon Gazette editor PORT McNEILL— Gerry Furney confirmed Monday evening that he will not stand to extend his run as B.C.’s longest-serving mayor. On the other hand, he’s hardly going quietly into that good night. In response to a summary by treasurer Dan Rodin to council that it could choose to establish reserve accounts to set aside funds for infrastructure and equipment needed at a later date, Furney did not mince words. “I’m not in favour of it,” the mayor said. “I think back over the last 40 years, we never, ever did anything like that. We never went broke, and we never charged the taxpayer for stuff that they really didn’t need.” The discussion of reserve accounts actually followed some good news from Rodin’s financial report, which indicated the Town would end the year debt-free. “That presents an opportunity,” he said. Rodin did explain to council there were two ways to handle the needed replacement of equipment — such as the Town’s aging fleet of work vehicles. One was the formation of bylaw reserve accounts, in which today’s taxpayer fronts money to be used as needed for scheduled asset replacement and repair. The other waits for the need, at which point the taxpayer who benefits is the one who pays. “You do it the year you absolutely need it,” Rodin said in answer to the Mayor. “When the issue arises and you need to deal with it, that’s the year you deal with it. And that works perfectly well, too. It’s more of a philosophical thing than anything else. It works fine either way.” Furney said Rodin was welcome to draft a reserve fund proposal and discuss it with council, but wanted to go on record that he

After the ceremony, audience members helped themselves to lunch and were able to speak with key members of the partnership about the future of the project and renewable energy. The hydroelectric facility features four generating units with an installed capacity of 45 megawatts. It can generate enough energy to power more than 10,000 homes annually. Both sides of the partnership expressed their hope that the facility will be here for generations to come.

Councillors vie for open mayoral chairs

from page 1 his prospective replacement — current councillors Shirley Ackland and Gaby Wickstrom — sprouting alongside Port McNeill streets overnight Sunday. Nominations for mayors and councillors in North Island communities, as well as School District 85 Board trustees and Regional District of Mount Waddington area directors, are under way until tomorrow’s 4 p.m. deadline. Then the campaign begins in earnest, with

the election set for Nov. 15. Furney has been out of office for only two years since being elected as a member of Port McNeill’s first council, in 1966. After serving one term as mayor in the early 1970s, he was defeated by one vote in his bid for re-election. He returned two years later, and has been in the office ever since — a total of 39 years as mayor and 46 in office. “I was the first one sworn in,” Furney said of that inaugural council in 1966.

Municipal election season kicked off with the placement of the J.R. Rardon first campaign signs in Port McNeill this week.

“They swore us in one by one, in what is now the kitchen of the Dalewood Inn.” He can still rattle off the names of his fel-

low councillors from that day, who were sworn in by the deputy minister of North Vancouver Island MLA Dan Campbell.

Emil Pazarena, Bob Huddleston Ian Patterson and Furney were joined by Stu Robinson, a logging company roads fore-

man who became Port McNeill’s first mayor. “The reason we made him mayor was that he had a bulldozer and a backhoe. He graded the roads before we got any blacktop.” Furney immigrated from Ireland in 1956 with good friend Tom Murphy, and the two answered an ad looking for loggers. His civic involvement in Port McNeill began while he was rooming in a logging bunkhouse and attempted to visit the nearby community hall.

“I was told, ‘This isn’t for bunkhouse guys,’” he recalls. “But since we were getting a $1 deduction from our payroll each month for the community hall, this struck me as a very unfair situation.” So Furney attended the next Community Hall meeting and got himself elected to the committee. “One of the worst phrases is, ‘They should do this’ or ‘They should do that,’” he said. “‘They’ is you. You need to step up and get involved.”

McNeill economic plan gets final review J.R. Rardon Gazette editor PORT McNEILL— Jobs, infrastructure and amenities are among the priorities highlighted by local residents in a recent economic development survey, consultant Bert Zethof noted in two workshop sessions held last week. Nearly 50 residents turned out Sept. 29 and 30 for the Port McNeill 2020 workshops, the final public presentation before Zethof and local liaison Annemarie Koch produce a draft Community Economic Plan to present council. “I’m seeing a big wish list,” local B&B owner Karen Stewart said after Zethof shared the results of the survey. “Of course, we’re

not going to get everything on the list.” Through a PowerPoint presentation, Zethof graphed the priorities of more than 300 residents and 30 business who responded to the online survey. Topics covered ranged well beyond direct economic impact, and included industry and business, promotion, community infrastructure, tourism, resident support services, public and private spaces and sense of community to goals and priorities. “You might not see an economic benefit in this category,” Zethof said while displaying a graph on Sense of Community during the

Sept. 29 workshop. “But it addresses quality of life, which brings more people who want to come and raise families in the community.” The Zethof Consulting Group was contracted, with the help of a grant from Island Coastal Economic Trust (ICET), to develop the Community Economic Plan. Zethof and Koch began the process with individual interviews late last winter, then

moved to public meetings to gather additional input. The community survey, and last week’s workshops, were the final opportunity for residents to offer their input. The survey results shared in the workshops were shown as rankings within each category, with further breakdowns of percentages among age groups and a separate percentage for business

respondents. “None of these are bad ideas,” Zethof said. “Some are just ranked higher than others. If you have the resources and energy, you should do them all.” Response was lively, with participants seeking a way to balance the need for more economic opportunity, training and education with public infrastructure, amenities and recreation. “It’s a bit of chicken

Winter tires required on highway VICTORIA— With winter quickly approaching, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure would like to remind motorists that as of Oct. 1 winter tires are now required on many highways throughout the province. Highway 19 between Port Hardy and Campbell River is among the roads on which the seasonal tires are required. Signs are posted on each of the designated highways to advise motorists where winter tires are required. These are generally located approaching high mountain passes and interior highways where conditions can change from rain to snow very quickly. Maps showing which roads require winter tires can be found on the ministry’s web page at: www.th.gov.bc.ca/ SeasonalDriving/winter-tires-chains/index. html. As a result of the technical analysis completed during the Rural Highway Safety and Speed Review, winter tires have been defined as those labelled with either the winter mountain/

snowflake symbol or the mud and snow (M+S) designation. Winter tires must also

LETTERS

End of an era For the first few years after they left Ireland together, Gerry Furney and Tom Murphy were rarely separated. They came to Port McNeill together to hire on as loggers. When work shut down for the season, they swam against the tide of loggers catching the bus to Vancouver and instead remained behind and hired on with a mining company. Even when Murphy finally departed, to work as a golf pro, Furney took up a little golf of his own. As part of a campaign to lobby for the first paved roads in town, Furney and his fellow (then unelected) civic leaders created pothole golf. "The first round went from the Dalewood (Inn) down to the Western Forest Products office," Furney said. "Guys had so much fun they played it back again. But I don't want to be remembered as the founder of pothole golf." As legacies go, the Pothole Open is likely destined to be a footnote in a multi-volume tome of accomplishment during Furney's 46 years in elected office. The 81-year-old has announced he will not seek reelection this year after serving seven years on council and another 39 as mayor. Since becoming the first elected official in the town's history in 1966, he has spent only two years out of office — after losing an election by a single vote. From the time he and Murphy arrived in the mid1950s, Furney cast his lot with the glorified logging camp that was Port McNeill. He saw in its central location a potential hub for North Vancouver Island commerce and recreation. All that was needed was ferry service and a highway to link the town to its neighbours, and he set his efforts toward those and other goals. He co-founded Port McNeill's Chamber of Commerce, seven years before the town's incorporation, convinced this was a place to invest in. Consider a few of the additions to the town during his tenure: harbour, hospital, high school, airport, arena and swimming pool to name a few, along with the businesses that have moved in or started up. Of course, he didn't do this alone. If you have a chance to sit down with him for some reminiscing, you'll hear a lot more "we" than "I". But whoever succeeds Furney has a large pair of brogues to fill. He'll be the first to say it can be done, and his method has been to simply roll up his sleeves and do what he believed was best for the community. Now, as he prepares to hand over the reins — and his reign — following next month's election, he asks only that his successor do the same. The rest of us can ask nothing less.

CIBC's annual Run for the Cure drew a dedicated group of runners and walkers who combined to raise more than $3,500.

It was a longer and warmer than usual summer, but the winter tire requirement tells us what is what is headed our way very soon.

Thank you North Islanders Dear editor, Thank you for this opportunity to share my recent experience of the overwhelming and generous spirit of the people of the North Island. On Friday, Sept. 19, I was involved in a serious car accident just south of Telegraph Cove while going to visit family in Port Hardy for the weekend. I am still in awe of the quick response and compassion shown to me by complete strangers. From the doctor who was one of the first on scene, to Jen, the chaplain from California, who just happened to be there at the right time and freely

I am still in awe of the quick response and compassion shown to me by complete strangers. offered to pray with me, to loggers and first aid attendants who stopped to lend a hand, to the firefighters, police, paramedics, nurses, doctors and hospital staff in Port McNeill who provided their excellent, professional care — I will be forever grateful. For every voice and name I remember or have been told about, I am sure there are two more who I will never know. But you

know who you are and my heart is filled with gratitude. Thank you to firefighter Dacen, paramedics Rob and Jamie, to Dr. Armogan, Melanie, Pam, Gail, Krista and Joanne at the hospital, and of course to my North Island family who were the angels constantly by my side and in my heart before being transferred to Campbell River. Daily I am reminded of

how God was watching over me, and of how he was present in the many ordinary people who gave extraordinarily and generously of their time. I know that it must have been a very difficult and arduous task attending to me. The things that went right for me, though, are just too numerous to list. I have a bit of recovery ahead of me, but I am continually heartened by and reminded of the kindness of people I will likely never meet again. Know that I am eternally grateful. Warmly, Sharon Anderson Port Alberni

Oil a slippery slope for cities VICTORIA – Every year when B.C.’s municipal politicians get together to preach to the provincial cabinet, there comes a point in the maze of resolutions where things go sideways. This year it was a charge led by Burnaby to denounce the proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion. And this time it was defeated. Credit for this sudden attack of common sense goes largely to North Cowichan Coun. Al Siebring. Here’s part of his address to the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Whistler: “Ladies and gentlemen, we are elected to handle things like roads and water and sewer and land use, police, fire, garbage. We’re not here to talk about social policy, child poverty or heaven forbid, pipelines. “Those kinds of things

Nick Volkow rattled off a jumbled history of refineries in his region, noting that the sole surviving Chevron plant is bringing in crude by trucks and trains because the 60-year-old pipeline is over-subscribed. He didn’t explain how stopping a pipeline upgrade would keep it open, or improve oil safety. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan boasted that after his first court challenge to the National Energy Board was tossed out, his highpriced eco-lawyer found a constitutional angle. Chaching!

This is why election-time posturing by local politicians is a slippery slope. Not only do they lack authority, they and their staff lack the required expertise and information.

Run for the Cure raises $3,500 in Port McNeill

Gazette staff PORT McNEILL— North Islanders strapped on their running shoes Sunday morning as part of an annual fundraiser for breast cancer research. The CIBC Run for the Cure, which benefits the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation,

took place in Port McNeill last weekend, drawing more than 40 participants to complete their choice of a 5k or 2k loop around the town. Kendra ParnhamHall led participants in a morning warmup outside the Ministry of Forest office, and the

run commenced at 9 a.m. At the finish line, participants received free water bottles and orange slices as they marked their names down on the Wall of Hope. Joey Grant completed the run first with a time of 22:05.

His brother, William, crossed the finish line just five seconds after. This year, Port McNeill was the only run site north of Nanaimo. The branch raised more than $3,500 for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, and donations are still being accepted.

Masala makes waves in Sointula Youth drama, Elena Rardon Gazette staff SOINTULA—Just a year ago, the Masala Youth Theatre group from Masala, Finland performed its play “Sointula!” during the village’s Culture Shock conference. This weekend, members of the Finnish group returned to Malcolm Island for a day-long workshop for kids, emphasizing leadership and cross-cultural teachings. “We fell in love with the place,” group member Iika Hartikainen said Saturday. “We wanted to continue and make a cultural exchange.” Driven by their desire to return to the village they loved so much, a few members of the Masala Youth Theatre formed the Friends of Sointula Association and raised funds for another trip by performing as a band. They teamed up with the Sointula Leadership Institute Society, a society formed last December with the intention of building on natural leadership skills inherent on the North Island. The Friends of Sointula wanted to provide exercises to hone these skills The group ran into a number of obstacles, including the teacher’s strike and ferry

dock construction, but the workshop was still able to go on as planned. “Everything worked out,” Hartikainen laughed. “It’s like a miracle.” On Saturday, they gathered at the Sointula Finnish Organizational Hall to direct the free workshop, called “Taking the Lead.” It brought together youth participants aged 12-16 from Sointula and Port McNeill. Saturday’s workshop began with an introduction and warmups, including a musical warmup that focused on building rhythm and finding a voice. The students

then worked on making short drama scenes, including a few improvisation exercises. “There’s a lot of stuff in theatre that can be applied in everyday life,” said Hartikainen. “Like how to work in a group, how to accept different ideas, finding one’s voice. “I’m amazed by the kids,” she went on. “They are so super-talented. They show really great character, and it’s easy and fun to work with them.” During a short lunch break, members of the group discussed their love of the village and the connection they

felt. One member, Elina Vehkaoja, even has relatives in Sointula. “It feels like home,” Vehkaoja said. “It’s a cozy place.” “There’s great diversity on this island, and people find unity in that,” said Hartikainen. “We found soul mates here.” The group had plenty of support from locals, including the Lions Club and Rotary. Even the workshop itself was arranged in collaboration with the Sointula Leadership Institute Society. “Youth here have to make their own entertainment,” said Annemarie Koch. “So they have natural leadership tendencies.” Some of these skills, she added, include innovation and the ability to adapt to change. The Friends of Sointula held a smaller workshop Friday at A.J. Elliot Elementary School. Saturday night, they performed at the Whale’s Rub Pub. “We’re hopeful that they will come back,” said Koch. “We would love to have them back.” “For us, it’s a celebration,” said Hartikainen. “We want to make this an annual thing.”

band return

Gazette staff PORT McNEILL—The Gate House Community Society has renewed its after-school youth drama group and plans a pair of performances for later this fall for students in Grade 4 and older. There is no cost to students to attend. After-school sessions are hosted at Gate House Community Theatre each Thursday from 3:30-5 p.m., featuring theatre games with dialogue, characterization and entrances.

The performance will take place during a

Community Christmas Concert Nov. 29. Toot your horn Beginner and intermediate band instruction is also returning, with sessions each Wednesday and Thursday evening at Port Hardy Secondary School. Pacific Winds, under the instruction of Shawn Gough, invites musical newcomers to beginner band lessons Thursdays from 6-7 p.m. in the PHSS band room (alongside the school’s theatre).

Health network to host local forum

The Mount Waddington Health Network Forum at the Port Hardy Civic Centre, Nov. 5, will be an opportunity to gather information and discuss access to health services on the North Island. The provincial Seniors Advocate, Isobel Mackenzie, will be the keynote speaker. Discussion of the One Contact system, Telehealth, the Division of Family Practice, and Mount Waddington Transit are also on the agenda. To register for the forum, which runs from 10 a.m.-3 p.m., please contact Bettina at 250-902-6071 or Bettina.knopp@viha. ca. Lunch will be provided. There is no charge for the forum. Information tables will be available to place brochures. Hope to see you there! *** The need for costeffective delivery of

increasingly complex treatment options to a fast-growing population of seniors is the focus of a wide range of elected representatives, policy makers and health administrators. As baby boomers age, creating a seniors bulge in the population, many minds are turning toward addressing the issue. “In 2014, over six million Canadians were aged 65 or older, representing 15.6 per cent of Canada’s population. By 2030 — in less than two decades — seniors will number over 9.5 million and make up 23 per cent of Canadians. Additionally, by 2036 the average life expectancy at birth for women will rise to 86.2 years from the current 84.2 and to 82.9 years from the current 80 for men,” according to the Action Report for Seniors, www.seniors. gc.ca/build/theme-sc-

To your health with

Barb Park ac/pdf/action_report_ for_seniors.pdf. Delivering health services in rural and remote areas is an additional systemic challenge, since for seniors outside urban areas the lack of transportation, lack of awareness of programs and services, relatively little access to information technology and health challenges that make accessing services difficult, are the norm. Health service delivery is challenging not just in the Mount Waddington Region, but around the prov-

ince, and even around the country. At all levels, discussions and service delivery innovations are underway. For example, to address the chronic shortage of health professionals, a key aspect of health service delivery outside urban areas: • The idea of salaries and pension plans for doctors working in rural and remote areas was discussed by some attending the recent UBCM conference; • The provincial Health Minister Terry Lake has announced a plan to train 84 paramedics who will work in rural and remote areas of B.C.; and • Divisions of Family Practice, communitybased groups of family physicians, are now working together to achieve common health care goals (www.divisionsbc.ca/ rural-remote). The Rural and Remote

Division North Vancouver Island Chapter includes the communities of Alert Bay, Port Alice, Port Hardy and Port McNeill. At a more macro level: • B.C.’s Seniors Advocate has been appointed to investigate and recommend solutions to systemic challenges faced by seniors; and • Minister of State for Seniors, Alice Wong, is mandated to work with Minister of Health to promote the importance of healthy lifestyles for seniors and support communities in creating the conditions to encourage healthy aging through collaboration, outreach and strategic engagement. We look forward to your involvement in discussions of access to health services Nov. 5. Barb Park is coor-

dinator of the Mount Waddington Health Network, which advocates for North Islanders across a

spectrum of health and social services issues. info@mountwaddingtonhealthnetwork.com or 250-230-1238.

Bantams fall to last-minute strike J.R. Rardon Gazette editor PORT McNEILL—A late power-play goal by Cowichan Valley with 48 seconds remaining in Saturday’s Vancouver Island Hockey team was the only thing that prevented the North Island Eagles bantams from an unbeaten placementround schedule. OK, maybe not the only thing. “If we’d have played the whole game like we’d played the second half, we’d have been fine,” bantam coach Mike Bell said after his team dug a 3-1 hole against the Capitals before battling back to tie the game at Chilton Regional Arena. “We were coming off three strong road games, but that first half was the worst they’ve played this season. It was Heckle and Jeckle.” The Eagles bounced back Sunday with a 5-3 win over

But Strang was whistled for a roughing penalty with 2:16 to play, and the Capitals’ Rhys Mazurinko converted the game-winner with the man advantage when he lifted a rebound into the open corner of the net off a shot from the opposite side by teammate Owen Easton. “There’s going to be a learning curve for everybody,” said Bell, who coached his son’s teams through four levels and who has returned to coach the bantams after a year away from the ice. “I don’t know this group. There’s no power play or penalty kill; everyone plays while I get a feel for who can do what.” Michael Perez had actually staked the Eagles to an early 1-0 lead on his strike in the opening five minutes. But Cowichan tied it in the first eight seconds of the second on an opportunis-

tic rebound goal by Kayden Campbell and got consecutive goals from Matt Baird midway through the second and early in the third period to make it 3-1. “We told the kids, ‘It’s your game; everyone else is here to watch you,’” said Bell. “‘So don’t watch — get out there and play.’” The club responded to the challenge. Tanner Roberts converted a rebound from the low slot off a shot by Clayton Bono to make it 3-2 at 7:00 of the third, and goalie Nigel Walkus turned aside all challenges from Cowichan Valley in the brisk, up-and-down game. “In the room at halftime, we told them to quit looking at everyone else, and to ask themselves what they could do to change the game,” said Bell. “I said, ‘Who wants to change the game?’ And they all put their hands up.”

Peewees close out with convincing win J.R. Rardon Gazette editor PORT McNEILL— The North Island Eagles peewees may have had a few misfires on the opening week of the season. But they were running smoothly on all cylinders Saturday in an 8-2 romp over Nanaimo B to wrap up the fivegame placement-round schedule. Mathew Saunders snapped a 1-1 tie late in the first period and Payton Laming notched a hat trick as the Eagles picked up momentum the rest of the way. “The first half of the game was pretty good,” head coach Marty Gage said. “After the break, the team persevered.

Laming had a heck of a game. Every puck off his stick seemed to find the back of the net.” Brayden Walkus,

Avory Collins, Ryan Patterson and Rhys Dutcyvich also scored for the Eagles, while Kayden Jones grabbed

the win in net. The victory, the Peewees’ third straight, left the team with a 3-2 tiering record after

starting with a pair of road losses. Gage hopes the team will be placed in Division 3 to play the regular season with most of its Tier 3 rivals in preparation for the playoffs next February and March. In the meantime, though, the peewees will face a stern challenge this week in a Thanksgiving tournament in Powell River, where they’re scheduled to play the host club, the Oceanside team that handed the peewees an 11-5 loss earlier in placement play, and Sooke. “It will be important for us to challenge ourselves against Tier 2 teams in exhibition

games and tournaments,” Gage said. “This weekend will be a good test for us. We’ve been handed a tough card.” Walkus, Dutcyvich, Saunders, Patterson, Chelsea Noel, Luke Gage and Joey Grant each had assists Saturday as the Eagles used four straight goals in the first and second periods to push in front 5-1. After Nanaimo got a second goal on a point-blank one-timer the dribbled over the line after Jones made the initial stop, the peewees closed out the game with three more scores over the final 11 minutes to win going away.

The midgets face Nanaimo Saturday at 4:15 p.m. and Sunday at 11 a.m. Both games will be at Don Cruickshank Memorial Arena in Port Hardy.

High school sides all square in Hardy

Gazette staff PORT HARDY— There was nothing to choose between the two sides as the Port Hardy Secondary and North Island Secondary Schools’ senior boys soccer teams played out a 1-1 draw in the first friendly of the season last week. Visitors NISS took the lead in the first half courtesy of a Clifford

Glendale strike after he dribbled in to convert from a cross. Thomas Coon evened it up minutes before halftime with a penalty after the referee judged that NISS goalie Brodie Wilson unfairly brought down the striker in the box. Wilson guessed right off the spot kick but the well-placed strike found the corner

of the net to put the sides on even footing. Both sides enjoyed plenty of chances in a lively second half but neither could find the target. PHSS coach Mike Cleary thought his side was unlucky to come away with a draw. “I thought we battled hard and deserved a win,” he said. “We dominated the second half in possession but

we struggled to find the back of the net.” NISS coach Casey Mork was unhappy with the penalty decision but felt that the scoreline reflected the game. “It was a good game,” he said, “(1-1) was the right score — there was about 50/50 possession throughout the game. “I didn’t really like the penalty,” said Mork, “I thought it

was a 50/50 between our goalie and their striker.” The sides will have plenty of chances to settle the score in the coming weeks with a pair of games planned for next week. NISS hosted the rematch yesterday, Wednesday, Oct. 8, after the Gazette went to press — see more next week. The flurry of friend-

lies should set the two local sides up for a run at the Island A tournament Oct. 22 in Duncan. To secure

a provincials berth, the local sides would have to upset powerhouses St. Andrews or Glenlyon Norfolk.

North Island motor sports action Gazette staff SEVEN MILE—Vancouver Island’s motocross racers return to the North Island for two days of high-flying action this weekend — and locals can check it out for free. Vancouver Island Motocross Association season points races 5 and 6 are slated for Saturday and Sunday, beginning at 10 a.m. each day at Seven Mile Motocross Track. A free admission promotion for the spring series races worked out so well for the club that it’s inviting the public back again at no charge for the Thanksgiving weekend races. A concession will be open

throughout the weekend, which features two sets of motorS per class each day. Stocks wrap season Tri-Port Speedway wrapped up stock car racing season last week with a play day after drivers elected not to race on the final meeting. Sunday’s periodic drizzle made for a slick and uneven track in places, and a series of near misses during warmups helped the drivers make the decision to forego points races in favour of a series of fun matchups. The decision means that Glen Day retained the track champion title, his 672 points

for the season topping the table. Jim Swift’s impressive return to the track this year earned him second place, while second-season driver Jared Breitkreitz claimed third, just 6 points ahead of Daniel Hovey. O’Connor sets record Modified racer Lawrie O’Connor set the standard high at Washington’s Gray’s Harbor Raceway last week, dialling in a track-record time during hot laps. The Port Hardy driver knocked a full two-tenths off the previous record, which had stood since 2008.

O'Connor explained that a week of rain had helped speed up the track, with several drivers clocking in higher than usual. Unfortunately though, he didn’t get the chance to follow his record-breaking time up in racing. “We lap in the mid- to high-16s usually, “ he explained. “I came in at 15.561 (seconds). Then I blew the motor the following lap, so that ended the season.” O'Connor said he had already secured a replacement car and was looking forward to getting back on the track at November’s Duel in the Desert at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Black top ten in B.C. PGA

Gazette staff Kevin Black, manager and club pro for Seven Hills Golf and Country Club, finished in a 10th-place tie last week in the PGA of BC Club Professional Championship. Black earned a $353 share of the prize money in the two-day, 36-hole tournament at North Vancouver’s Seymour Golf & Country Club.

He opened with a one-over-par 73 Sept. 30 to sit in fourth position, but slid to a 78 on Oct. 1 to finish with a 7-over 151. The tourney was won by Doug Morgan of The Redwoods Golf Course, who was the only finisher under par at 3-under 141. He finished three strokes ahead of Bill Kelly of Glacier Greens and Kevin Maxwell of

Olympic View, who tied for second. Brian McDonald of Fairview Mountain Golf Club had the unusual distinction of posting the best and worst rounds of the tournament. After carding an 83 to bring up the rear of the 22-golfer field on opening day, McDonald followed with a 68 to join Black and four others at 151 for the championship.

Heeding the siren’s call

Gazette staff PORT HARDY—Sparky dropped in for a visit last weekend as the Port Hardy Volunteer Fire Department hosted its annual open house to kick off Fire Prevention Week. Kids and parents got the chance to check out the fire hall, try on breathing apparatus and examine the trucks before the firefighters held a live demonstration. This year the department performed a fiveman evolution response to

a structure fire, rolling up and tackling the simulated blaze in front of a rapt crowd. The department is always seeking new members to add to its roster. Practice nights are every Thursday at 7 p.m. at either Fire Hall #1 (8890 Central Street) or Fire Hall #2 (4985 Beaver Harbour Road). Anyone 19 and older who would like to join can come out for a practice or call Fire Chief Schell Nickerson for more information at 250230-0705.
