The eyes have it

Sunny weather prompts warning about the damage the sun can do to the eyes KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A hot, hot Canada Day

But people found ways to cool down – like these youngsters at the Children’s Festival at the Community Centre – during temperatures of 32 C at its peak during a big day of festivities all over Campbell River and Quadra Island. The day culminated in a full moon overlooking the spectacular Quality Foods Festival of Lights staged in front of Robert Ostler Park Wednesday evening. See page 22 for a selection of photos from Canada Day and go online at campbellrivermirror.com for a more expansive slide show and video of the fireworks.

Cam McDonald lives every day with an irritating reminder of his time spent exposed to the sun. As a youth, McDonald spent most of his time outdoors without wearing eye protection. Though he’s now meticulous about wearing his sunglasses, the damage has already been done. “I lived in Whistler after graduation and I spent a lot of time on the slopes,” McDonald says. “I spent summers at Stuart Island in an open boat and I spent my winters on the slope, so a lot of sun exposure.” McDonald, 55, says by his early 20’s he started to notice his right eye was red and scratchy. He says the spot, which was relatively small and on the corner of the white part of the eye, started to act up this year after he contracted a second eye condition. “I had pink eye and it started to give me blurry vision,” McDonald says. Three months ago he was diagnosed with a pterygium, a growth that develops on the mucous membrane. “I’ve probably had this for about 30 years,” McDonald says. “My eyes are always very sore and red and irritated. I couldn’t wear contacts even if I wanted to.” Dr. Elaine Kerr of FYidoctors, formerly Coastal Eyecare Centres, says with summer now upon us, it’s important for people to protect

their eyes – even on a cloudy day – in order to avoid what McDonald is going through. “The biggest thing I find is I ask people if they’re wearing sunglasses and they say ‘yes’, but when I do a little bit more digging I find they’re only wearing them when they’re driving, but the windshield is designed to protect you from the UV rays,” Kerr says. “It’s when you’re outside, gardening or out on the deck, that wearing sunglasses is so important. Even on a cloudy day, people don’t realize, the UV is bouncing off the clouds, or the water.” Kerr recommends people wear UV A and UV B protective sunglasses when outdoors, particularly between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun’s UV rays are the strongest. That’s especially important to remember when it comes to children, Kerr says. “They estimate that 50 per cent of the lifetime exposure to UV happens before the age of 18 and that’s because children’s eyes are so clear and the light gets in,” Kerr says. McDonald can testify to that. He says he believes the damage to his eyes occurred during his youth. And since then, it’s only gotten worse. “It’s a scratchy, irritated feeling like there’s dust in it all the time,” McDonald says. “In the last few years, (the pterygiums) have

Province not sharing eagle tree info Eyes: There is Municipalities advised to file Freedom of Information requests surgical relief available

www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com

KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A letter from the B.C. government revealing that the province may hold back information related to eagle tree permit applications has council concerned. Mike Stalberg, deputy regional manager for the recreational and fisheries and wildlife programs, told council that when it comes to applications to alter or remove eagle nest trees, not all of the information given to the province can be shared with the city. “While there may be limited technical information discussed among the proponent, the city and the province, there is also information that we cannot share without expressed written consent of the proponent,” Stalberg wrote. “For this reason, biologists have been instructed to advise third parties, such as municipalities, to file Freedom of Information requests when they are seeking additional information.” Coun. Charlie Cornfield said at the June 22 council meeting that Stalberg’s revelation was troubling. “That causes me a little concern,” Cornfield said. “I think that’s probably what led to the problem

Wildlife Act.” An assessment had found that one of the trees was rotting and may fall within the next five years. The company claimed there were also no eagles using the nests when either of the two trees were cut down and Stalberg said there was no requirement under the Wildlife Act for the company to provide mitigation. Cornfield said scenarios such as the Middle Point case could be avoided if the province and the city worked more collaboratively on eagle nest permit applications. “I don’t see any information that would be provided to the province that they (proponents)

wouldn’t have to provide to us when they come to us for a permit anyways,” Cornfield said. But Stalberg said there are occasions when privacy-related information cannot be released and in the 2014 case, the province did not have expressed written consent from the proponent to provide information to the city and the city was told to file a Freedom of Information request. Council decided to write a letter back to the province requesting that a reciprocal agreement be formed between the city and the province to notify each other if an application comes forward relating to an eagle tree.

grown, they’re slowly progressively growing.” Fortunately for McDonald there is treatment available. He will soon be undergoing surgery to remove the pterygium from his right eye which has gotten progressively worse than his left eye. “They will make a skin graft of my eye, sedate my eye, and the surgeon will literally cut the pterygium out of my eye,” McDonald says. “Above my retina they will take a piece of skin from there and glue it in. It will be two weeks to two months with very red eyes but my eyes are already very sore and red and irritated. “I think it will work well and I’ll continue to wear sunglasses.” He warns others to do the same. “For other people, just be careful. It’s uncomfortable to have sore, tired eyes,” McDonald says. “I would definitely say, from an early age, wear polarized sunglasses that reflect the rays.”

Our View

Congratulations Campbell River Once again, the dedicated volunteers, organizers, corporate sponsors and enthusiastic citizenry came together for an excellent celebration of our nation’s birthday this week. Despite the sweltering heat, people turned out in droves to be a part of it. Whether it was the massive turnout at the Pancake Breakfast in Willow point put on by Quality Foods and the Campbell River Fire Fighters, the Mike McInnes Memorial Cup skateboard contest at the Sportsplex, or any of the downtown events, people were smiling and enthusiastic, spirits were high, and it was a fitting celebration of what it means to be Canadian. Good work, one and all.

It’s good to be back in River City

As I said in my “goodbye column” when I left six months ago, this is a crazy business. For those who remember me, I was here last year reporting for the Mirror, but I’ve been down in Langford (just this side of Victoria) for the past six months, working for one of the Mirror’s sister papers, the Goldstream News Gazette. And now I’m back, apparently. So…what did I miss? Never mind. I’ll find out shortly, I’m sure, as I dig back in and re-acquaint myself with the community. I must say, I had a pretty great time working at the Gazette. As a journalist charged with telling people what’s happening around them, it was fun – though challenging – to learn about a place from scratch while doing so. All I knew of Langford before I arrived was that it’s just a quick jaunt up the highway from Victoria, but I ended up meeting a ton of interesting people who are doing interest-

“You won’t believe what can be done with a chainsaw!” Those were the words heading up the Campbell River Mirror write up in the June 19 newspaper, advertising the upcoming Transformations on the Shore event from June 24 to 28. Every year my partner and I look forward to heading out to watch the carvers create their magic. We begin every year walking from station to station as the carvers set up their piece, trying to imagine what the outcome will be and shaking our heads in wonder as they do all of this, using a chainsaw. We enjoy the atmosphere that surrounds the activity in Willow Point, providing opportunity to wander the area, have lunch or dinner close by, take walks on the sea walk, or visit Sybil Andrews Cottage after visiting the carvers each day. This year there were 20 carvers competing in the event and there were some amazing creations. Our absolute favorite piece was the Inuit Hunter – Beneath the Ice, created by Joel Palmer from New Brunswick. Joel put a lot of thought into his carving, paying attention to details, such as the Narwhal Spear that the Inuit hunter used in his trade, the mask on his face used to shield his eyes from the blinding sun. The attention to detail in his carving was absolutely inspiring. His carving told a story and it is clearly evident that he is a true artist. We certainly hope that this carving finds a prominent home in our city so that everyone can enjoy its beauty. We are incredibly fortunate in Campbell River to have such an event that over 19 years has become something that attracts people from all across Canada to participate. We sincerely believe that this event puts us on the map as a “must see” tourist destination. And with the announcement that a movie is in the works through Canadian Cinematographer Marek J. Zaleski, Campbell River will benefit from the attention that this event brings to our beautiful Vancouver Island City. Thanks to the Campbell River Shoreline Arts Society. Thanks to Max Chickite for planting the seed to bring Transformations on the Shore to what it is today. Thanks to the Campbell River Mirror for getting the message out so that this event gets the attention that it deserves. Sue & Gord Muhlfield Campbell River

I think I’ll also be relaunching my Mike’s Musings column, where I just kind of ramble about the world and hopefully make some kind of point – or get people thinking, at least. We’ll see.

Council supports banner project to liven up the streets of Campbellton KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Council has agreed in principle to give money to a Campbellton community group to put up banners around the area. At its June 22 meeting, council endorsed giving the Campbellton Neighbourhood Association

$10,000 – through a beautification grant – to help liven up the area. To that end, the association wants to put up 40 colourful fish banners on Ministry of Highways lamp standards along Highway 19A and on Tamarac and Willow streets. The work is expected

to cost $10,000 but the Neighbourhood Association has already secured a $2,000 donation from the Pacific Salmon Foundation and would use $8,000 from the city grant to make up the remaining balance. A letter to city council from the Neighbourhood Association says

the banners will spruce up the northern end of the city. “The art represents the mighty Campbell River, a world class asset to the city and North Island,” the letter reads. “Local artists Larry Stefanyk and Curtis Wilson have created their interpretations of the local sockeye

What is the best health advice for my children this summer?

I have just attended the Canadian Association for Naturopathic Doctors national conference in Calgary and Ingrid Pincott ND one of the topics was: “Is Technology Dr.Naturopathic Physician Taking Over Childhood?” Some interesting statistics were shared: most children have three “tech” devices in their bedrooms; the average “tech” usage per day is 7.5 hours (because of overlapping time with different devices); there is an increase in overall sadness and daytime drowsiness with 20% of teens suffering from insomnia; and over the last forty years the average hours of sleep per night that people get has reduced to 7 hours from 8. With every one hour loss of sleep per night there is an increase incidence of ADHD.

PROCESS

Children learn better from human interaction, not video interaction. A study published by the University of Washington in 2007, found that, for each hour spent watching DVD’s and videos, children ages 8-16 months had a vocabulary of 6 to 8 fewer words. There are more DSM-5 disease codes being developed including “Internet Gaming Disorder” found in 10% of children in Ontario including symptoms of increased adrenal stress, ADHD, Autistic Spectrum Disorders, depression, and learning disabilities. This summer is a great time to break some of these habits. Turn off the TV all summer long, bring back dinner conversation without tech devices, in general two hours allowed per day for children and adults alike, get all devices out of the bedroom including TV and clock radios, and create a contract with your children if you need to.

going to be quite a successful project also,” Kerr said. The association intends to put $2,000 of the city grant towards completion of the 16-bed garden, which has already garnered $2,000 in donations from local businesses. T he C ampb el lton grant is just one of four that city council approved during budget planning in January. Council agreed at that time to provide annual beautification grants of up to $10,000 to not only the Campbellton Neighbourhood Association but also the Downtown Heart of the City Business Improvement Area Association (BIA), the Pier Street Association, and the Willow Point BIA. The Downtown BIA submitted an application for its beautification grant last month.

It is such a shame that teenagers are being sent to expensive healing centres such as Pacific Quest, to help with these disorders where everything centers on connecting with nature, exercise and green learning time.

region.” Mayor Andy Adams said he looks forward to the banners going up. “I think it’s great. The drawings for the banners that Larry Stefanyk has drawn up will be absolutely outstanding,” Adams said. Coun. Ron Kerr, who holds the Campbellton portfolio for council, said the project will be a good investment for the city. “I think it’s an exciting project, well worth the money we’re paying,” Kerr said. “In fact, I think we’re certainly receiving more. It’s a good investment.” Kerr also praised the other piece of the Neighbourhood Association’s plan for beautification – a community garden in Campbellton Park that is nearly complete. “The community garden is moving along quite well and I think it’s

TOM FLETCHER BLACK PRESS

Halfway through a consultation on distracted driving policy, the vast majority of B.C. residents who have responded want fines increased. Just ice Minister Suzanne Anton says thousands of people have participated on the B.C. government’s consultation website, and more than 90 per cent want stronger action to stop people talking or texting on their phones while

they’re behind the wheel. The issue now is how high the fines should go. “British Columbians are also telling us they want to see tougher escalating penalties for repeat offenders, because right now some people see the $167 ticket as the cost of doing business,” Anton said Tuesday. “We need to stop that.” B.C.’s fine is the second lowest in Canada, and a three-point insurance penalty was added last fall. Anton said she doesn’t intend to follow Ontario’s lead and put

the fine up to $1,000 for repeat offenders, but an increase will be coming within a year. Comments on the website www.gov.bc.ca/ distracteddriving continue to debate the merits of seizing cellphones from drivers, but Anton reiterated that option is not being considered. Suspending licences or impounding vehicles of repeat offenders is on the table, however. Saskatchewan impounds the vehicle for a week if the driver gets two distracted driving

tickets less than a year apart. The consultation continues until July 16. Participants are asked to reply to nine questions. The crowd-sourcing exercise has its weaknesses. Only five per cent of respondents have come from the B.C. Interior, and Anton said younger people are also underrepresented. The province attributes 88 deaths to distracted driving last year, second to speeding and ahead of impaired driving.

JOHN HART PROJECT COMMUNITY SITE EVENT

BC Hydro and InPower BC, the project contractor, are pleased to invite you to the John Hart Generating Station Replacement Project community event. This event will provide the community and beyond with a once a year opportunity to see the construction site and watch the project evolve through 2018. Come and see the exciting work on this legacy project for Campbell River and BC Hydro.

How to get there: The only permitted way to get to the site is by bus. There will be seven school buses operating and the pick-up will be on Shoppers Row, directly in front of Spirit Square. The buses will start at 9:30 a.m. and pick-up people about every five to ten minutes until 2:30 p.m. They will run continuously in a loop from Shoppers Row to the construction site, to the interpretive centre area, and then back downtown. People must be seated on the bus at all times. Bus transportation costs are being covered by the project.

Safety around the construction site: Construction activity will be shut down for this event so people can walk around the defined areas, including walking partly down the two underground portal entries (there will be no access into the tunnels), and viewing the unique construction equipment on display. • •

People at all times must stay within designated safe areas and not go beyond fenced off areas. This is for your own safety. Appropriate footwear is strongly recommended given the uneven surface. People with high-heel shoes will be unable to access the site. We also encourage the use of sun-screen.

•

Project staff will be wearing safety vests and will be happy to provide project overviews and answer your questions. We encourage you to take pictures.

Event activities: Displays and activities at the interpretive centre area include the interpretive centre, Museum at Campbell River puppet show and crafts, BBQ, booth displays (BC Parks, City of Campbell River, Rotary Club, BC Hydro Power Pioneers, Chamber of Commerce, and others), and a bucket ride in a BC Hydro line truck. The John Hart Project Interpretive Centre will provide the project overview.

Estimated attendees and a request for your patience: The John Hart Project is a popular project across Vancouver Island. It is very difficult to gauge and prepare for the number of people that may attend. Estimates range from 500 to 2,500 people. The site is not conducive for parking given its narrow orientation and construction areas. Busing people to the site, with a transportation capacity of about 2500 people over the five hours, was determined to be the best and safest way. If it is busy, please be patient and respectful to others. We also encourage you to move along to the next bus stop once you’ve looked around so it doesn’t get too crowded. The John Hart Project team is looking forward to seeing you on July 12! To learn more check out the monthly John Hart Project construction reports at bchydro.com/johnhart. If you have any questions in advance of the event please contact Stephen Watson at steve.watson@bchydro.com.

If t he b ou nd ar y extension is approved by both electors and the province, the property will be taxed at the city’s industrial tax rate and is expected to generate roughly $6,600 per year in property tax revenue for the city.

Bright future for local dancer Emiko Koizumi MIKE DAVIES

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Twelve-year-old Emiko Koizumi has been in dance for half her young life. It’s a 10-18 hour-perweek endeavour for the Campbell River girl. Add that to her schoolwork, chores at home and a bit of time with her friends, and there’s not much time for sleep, let alone for scrolling through Facebook, Snapchat or Instagram – activities many teenagers seem to immerse themselves in these days. And it’s been paying off. She’s already been a member of Team Canada’s Hip Hop Dance Team – taking home fourth place from a competition in Germany last year. Oh, and she recently returned from Powell River as the best under-12 solo stage dancer in B.C. Shawna Sloan, Koizumi’s coach and instructor at CR DanceXtreme, who teaches the competitive teams, says she saw something in Koizumi before she was allowed to recruit her at age eight. “I don’t teach the really young kids, but I drop in to see their yearend shows, and I just saw her dancing and said, ‘I want her.’”

“Emiko has something really, really, special that you just can’t teach. It’s grit. Tenacity. She’s amazing. She’s got the whole package. You have to be able to feel something when you watch a dance, and you definitely feel something when you watch her.” Sloan and the team at CR DanceXtreme are just wrapping up their eighth season, and they’ve been churning out high-level dancers all along. Sloan doesn’t take any credit for that, though. “They work hard,” she says. “They work their butts off. We (as instructors and coaches) can guide and direct their energy, but we can’t do the work.” That’s why they consistently take home awards from prestigious competitions and festivals like next week’s Nationals in Las Vegas, which they are packing for now. You could say they’re confident. They haven’t qualified yet for entry into Nationals – which a team does by qualifying through a regional competition – but they’re planning on doing that while they’re down there. “That’s what we’ve done the last two times we’ve gone down,” Sloan says. “We go every two years, and we’ve made it

both times.” Part of the reason they do it this way is the cost. It makes more sense financially to do both a regional competition and Nationals in one trip rather than make two jaunts south of the border with that many people, after all. It’s all part of the experience for these girls. They take it seriously, they work hard at it, and they reap the rewards of that effort. “We train these kids with the idea of becoming incredible human beings no matter what they decide to do,” Sloan says, “but also, if they want to be in the dance industry – music videos, commercials, world tours with big artists, living in places like L.A. or New York – that they will hold their own. They’ll be prepared for it. They’ll know what to expect and they’ll have the skills they need to succeed.” It’s a little early for Koizumi to be thinking about that, though. Her schooling is important to her, as well – life can’t be all about dance, after all – and she’s keeping her options open for the future. It’s not like she doesn’t have time to think about it. miked@campbellrivermirror.com

Filberg Festival announces featured performers The Filberg Festival of arts, crafts and music has always been known for its great entertainment and this year is sure to exceed expectations July 31-Aug. 3. New this season is a Friday evening performance featuring Canadian alternative country/blues/folk rock band the Cowboy Junkies. Cowboy Junkies were formed in Toronto in 1985 by siblings Michael Timmins, Margo Timmins, Peter Timmins and friend Alan Anton. They are best known for the seminal album, The Trinity Session, which established them at the forefront of the alternative country move-

ment. For more than 20 years, Cowboy Junkies have remained true to their unique artistic vision, creating a critically acclaimed body of original work that has endeared them to an audience unwavering in its loyalty. The Festival will clear the grounds at 6 p.m. July 31 and re-open at 7 p.m. with a performance from 7:30-9:30. A limited number of tickets for this special evening concert went on sale, online only, May 1. Opening for the Cowboy Junkies will be The Lion, The Bear, The Fox. Tickets will be priced at $39.00 for festival seating.

Headliners over the long weekend will include: Matthew Barber and Jill Barber presenting their new project The Family Album; the highly acclaimed tenor Ken Lavigne; and festival favourites rock musician John Mann, best known as the front man of the folk rock band Spirit of the West, and folk and country musician Valdy. Visit www.filbergfestival.com for the full lineup. This year the Festival is thrilled to feature potter Gordon Hutchens as the guest artist. Gordon Hutchens’ studio is nestled in 19 wooded acres in the secluded north end of Denman Island.

For nearly 30 years Gordon has operated his extensive studio here while exhibiting across Canada, from Halifax, Montreal and Toronto to Vancouver & Victoria. He has had more than 25 one-man shows and more than 70 group exhibitions across Canada and the U.S., with three major exhibitions in Japan. Gordon has also taught courses and workshops for many colleges and potter’s guilds. His works and articles have been published in various ceramics magazines and books. www. gordonhutchens.com The 2015 Festival will also showcase more than 130 artisans and makers

of fine art in a variety of media ranging from metalwork, pottery, toys, woodcrafts, jewellery, paintings, glass, textiles and specialty foods. Gate admission is charged at the Filberg Festival, as it is the primary fundraiser for the not-for-profit organization which has the responsibility of repairing and maintaining the Filberg Heritage Lodge and Park’s property and buildings (www.filberg. com). Advance festival tickets are available online at www.filbergfestival.com beginning June 1 and at all Vancouver Island Thrifty Foods locations beginning June 26.

Climate lag means consequences of current climate damage will be our legacy the future climate for our children in 2055 will be based upon the 400 ppm we have today. This 40-year delay, calculated by one of the world’s foremost climate experts, James Hansen, is an approximation based on a transition period extending from 25 to 50 years. Since the median is 37.5, a simplified estimate is 40 years. Climatologists know that the average global temperature has increased 0.8°C from all accumulated carbon dioxide emissions since 1900. Because we have yet to receive most of

the effects of our emissions during the last 40 years, climate lag will eventually add another 0.6°C to this increase. Since global CO2 emissions are still going up rather than down (0.5% in 2014), we will very likely surpass the 2°C maximum temperature increase agreed to by the world community. If the weather extremes we are getting now make us uneasy, the weather eventually generated from our current emissions we be considerably more disquieting. Neither will we like

SHADES there for at least 1,000 OF GREEN Ray Grigg

One of the most worrisome obstacles preventing people and governments from fully appreciating the consequences of their carbon dioxide emissions is a condition that climatologists call “climate lag”, the “thermal inertia” which delays by about 40 years the warming effect of rising levels of atmospheric greenhouse gases. This means that the climate we are getting in 2015 was generated about 1975 when atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations were 334 parts per million, and

the permanence of these new conditions. About one-third of all the carbon dioxide we emit is added to the atmosphere and will stay

years before being safely sequestered by natural processes. From the perspective of our civilization, the climate change we are causing is essentially permanent. “Climate lag” requires an explanation of “thermal inertia”, a subject that seems complicated because we usually think of global warming in terms of atmospheric temperatures. But most of the planet’s accumulating heat actually goes into the oceans. They cover about 70 per cent of Earth and constitute

Because the oceans churn and circulate in ways we do not yet fully understand, the colder and warmer currents reaching the surface absorb atmospheric heat at different rates, causing apparent irregularities in our temperature readings. In reality, however, the heating of the entire planet is occurring in direct relationship to the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

The world’s oceans are a key part of this process, inexorably becoming more thermally active, causing more intense storms, more precipitation extremes and more unusual weather as we keep burning fossil fuels. The good news for many of us alive today is that the full consequences of our present emissions will not be known for another 40 years. The bad news is that it will be our bequest to future generations.

Italian wines to sip in the summer heat… There’s a wealth of styles available to us from this one small boot-shaped country. Fresh from a facelift with a new label for the 2014 vintage Gabbiano Promessa Pinot Grigio delle Venezie IGT (667915) $11.35 should be on the top of everyone’s list for pairing with oysters and whitefleshed seafood. A touch of tree bark lingers beneath first impressions of apple and pear, then this lively white wine slides through lemon and grapefruit into subtle notes of mandarin orange and mango. There is a treasury of traditional Italian wines but Italy is continually and busily redrawing its own wine landscape. Expect more IGT surprises - Indicazione Geografica Tipica - next time you peruse the Italian selections in your

ike Spain and France, Italy offers a full range of wines. Still or sparkling, “dry” or sweet, white or rose or red, food-friendly or fortified – if there’s a style of wine that can be made from grapes, there’s an Italian equivalent. And, invariably, Italian wines are at their best with food! From the southern heel of the boot Mezzomondo Negroamaro Puglia IGT (135178) $10.99 is a surprisingly smooth medium-bodied red that features lush ripe black cherry/ tarry berry flavours over a leathery twist of liquorice. For thousands of years, Italy has been awash in wine. It sometimes seems that every inch of Italian hillside that isn’t planted with olive trees must be planted with grapevines.

favourite wine shop. Nespolino Rosso Rubicone IGT (520833) $13 is a masterful blend of 70 per cent Sangiovese and 30 per cent Merlot. There are no excuses for not having a few bottles of this affordable and easy to like medium-bodied red on hand, while it is still available. Aromas and flavours of cherries and plums predominate, without

overpowering the subtle notes of tree bark and fresh-stropped leather that add interest to the finish. IGT wines are unofficially divided, in reality, into three rough groups: industrial grade, decent country wines, and creative (…and often pretty pricey) non-traditional blends. Unfortunately, there’s no way of knowing much about the eventual quality of the wine in the glass from the label. Only patient sampling can sort them out. Trends in sparkling white wine have settled on Prosecco, the light and softly sizzling white specialty of Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia in the northeast. Emotivo Prosecco DOC Veneto (153981) $16 captures the freshness of just sliced peaches, a squirt of

lemon juice and sweet and sour apple aromas and flavours. Like most Proseccos, this one should be sipped young and well chilled. To be called Bianco di Custoza Superiore, a wine must reach a final alcohol level of 11 per cent alcohol by volume – a full 1.5 per cent higher than the standard version. This is an unusually stringent DOC law; for almost every other superiore wine in Italy the requirement is just 0.5 per cent and occasionally 1 per cent . An amazingly tasty Italian white Monte

del Fra ‘Ca del Magro’ Custoza Superiore DOC (216077) $21 is an incredibly complex blend of mostly indigenous Italian wine grapes that finished up at 13 per cent alc/vol. The result is an astonishingly full-bodied dry white that overflows with ripe peach flavours over honeyed lemon drops with a dusting of chalk underlying the more obvious and tantalizingly tropical fruit. Ripasso is a red wine style from Valpolicella zone north of Verona in the Veneto region of Italy often referred to as a kind of Baby

Amarone. Regularly fermented wine is added to the skins and lees left over from fermented Amarone wines. “The Montresor family has been making wine since the 1600’s and today owns around 375 acres of prime vineyards in the Veneto region” according to Wine Words Wisdom’s Richard Marcis. Montresor Capitel della Crosara Valpolicella Ripasso DOP (327791) $25 is aged in oak for 16 months and has rich and dusky dried black cherry, sweet vanilla and fragrant sun-roasted spice flavors. This is a single vineyard red wine produced from grapes grown on the estate’s “Capitel della Crosara” vineyard.

SCHEDULE

MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A new course set to launch this September at North Island College (NIC) is adding a new dimension to tourism and hospitality studies on the mid-Island. The newly-formed Food Fundamentals and Service course is designed to expose tourism students to the inner workings of a commercial kitchen, by sending them behind the scenes of Third Course Bistro, the student-run restaurant on the Campbell River campus of the college. It allows the students to “walk a mile in someone else’s shoes, making them better managers and team players,” according to Deborah Forsyth, chair of NIC’s tourism department. “They are really pumped about being in the kitchen and learning something new.” In many businesses that have a food service aspect, Forsyth says, “there can be a certain level of tension between the front and back of the house, or between management and kitchen staff.” Courses like this one help those who hope to manage people in the service industry better understand things from the viewpoint of the other party, she says. While the tourism students have been operating the front of house at Third Course for years, this is the first time they will be venturing into the back to actually prepare the food being served. While the culinary students

are still off doing their internships – they will be back operating Third Course in the winter – the tourism students will be in there training and studying the intricacies of commercial kitchen operation. They will also be opening to the public – though the offerings will be a fixed and limited menu so as not to overcomplicate the matter. “It’s really exciting,” Forsyth says. “We’ll be opening up Third Course in November on Friday nights and the tourism students will be running the whole show – under the close watch of the culinary instructors, obviously.” Forsyth says they have been restructuring NIC’s tourism programming to ensure students connect with industry and have as many

applied experiences as possible, from new courses like Food Fundamentals and Service to expanded co-op and internship opportunities, and she’s excited to be rolling out some of the changes that have been made within the department. “We’ve been tinkering the last couple of years to make sure we’re giving our students the best opportunity to succeed.” The tourism program was previously designed around the concept that students would use it as an entry point into a management degree program of some kind, but they have come to realize that’s not really happening in most cases – only about 20 per cent of students take that path provincially, Forsyth says – so it’s been cleaned up and tailored

to better suit the students’ needs. “We’re really trying to make it accessible to as many people who are interested as possible,” she says, and they do that by removing any significant barriers that may be in place. Their admissions requirements were one of those potential barriers, she says. Because the emphasis of the program used to be in the business aspects of the industry and preparing students for entry into a full degree program, Forsyth says, the math prerequisites for admission were “really quite high.” Now that the program has been broken up to allow for students to take more self-directed pathways to graduation, however, those prerequisites have been relaxed

somewhat. So, what’s next in terms of changes to the tourism programming at NIC? Well, Forsyth says she is particularly excited to continue exploring field school opportunities and exchange programs, and hinted about announcements coming soon about agreements that are coming together with institutions in Cuba, Denmark and Scotland. “It’s a really exciting time for us just now,” she says. For more information on the tourism offerings available at NIC, contact Forsyth directly at deborah.forsyth@nic.bc.ca or head over to nic.bc.ca and have a look around the site. miked@campbellrivermirror.com

Residents of our fair city were once again treated to a Canada Day full of festivities and activities for all ages on Wednesday. From top left, counter clockwise: The downtown core was packed for the Quality Foods Festival of Lights, which capped off the day after the Rotary Canada Day Parade saw dozens of floats and participants, like the Ishikari Twinning Society, flow through a downtown route lined by an enthusiastic audience; Music was performed on various stages throughout town throughout the day, featuring local performers like the Impalas and special guests brought into town; the Rink Minx put on a demonstration of their sport on Shopper’s Row in the heat of the afternoon while children’s performers took over the Community Centre; and down in Willow Point, Campbell River Firefighters served pancake breakfast to the community; while the Campbell River Legion Pipe Band was busy in Willow Point and in the downtown parade.

Fishing for springs has been very good to fabulous and the Green Can and the Hump are key areas to fish and good size salmon are being caught

Michael Racette with a 25 lb. Cod caught at Rock Bay show up in local waters and if the bait is around so are the salmon.

from legal size to the mid to high 20s. Anglers are going deep for the big ones and using plugs seem to get the larger salmon. Hoochies that are working are Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson, Jack Smith and Blue Meany. South of Campbell River, Bates Beach is a good fishing area and at times can be hit and miss.

Trout fishing is still good in the local lakes but the bigger lakes are fishing better with the deeper and colder water. The Upper Campbell can be good and some trout close to four pounds have been caught. To the South, Comox, Lorne Wolf and Spider

Coho are starting to

There are 74 ladies entered in the Painters Lodge Ladies Derby June 25-29 and the overall winner was Lisa StrongLee with her catch of 26.8 pounds. In second was Patti Heerhartz with a 24.1 pound spring and third was Donna Stubbings with a 23.1 pound salmon. In general, the water levels in the local rivers such as the Oyster and Quinsam are very low and the lack of snow in the mountains is a concern. The White and Salmon rivers are low and rain is badly needed. Water levels are low on the Elk but on the fly, this river can be a fun catch and release river to fish for small trout.

alkes will be busy on the weekend. The fly patterns to use are Carey Special Muddler Minnow and my fly of choice is the basic black hackle wound over the body in size 6 to 12.

The first small run of pink salmon have arrived in Sayward and few of the locals have caught fish at the Kelsey Bay Wharf. Monica Friesen and Braeden March were the first anglers to bring in a pink and the wharf will see a number of tourists arriving and the pink action will be fast and furious in weeks to come. Those anglers catching lingcod are fishing deep in water 200 feet or more. Roy Beech from Sayward has had good success in the past number of weeks. Those after lingcod are heading north of Campbell River and fishing from the Narrows all the way to Sayward. Rock Bay has seen nice catches of lingcod as 12-year-old Michael Racette landed a 25 pounder.
