Councillors accused of collusion on regional board Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR
The Strathcona Regional District board spent nearly an hour Wednesday discussing whether to make changes that would reduce the number of Campbell River directors on its board. In the end, the only decision made was to get more information from staff. The discussion was prompted by Sayward Mayor and Director John MacDonald, who wanted the board to consider increasing the voting unit, the system which determines the number of directors and the voting entitlement for all the communities within the regional district. As Campbell River holds the greatest population of all the regions, it has the most directors sitting on the board – five – and, in a weighted vote situation, Campbell River holds 67 per cent of the weighted vote which is used typically on motions related to finances. The system recognizes that areas that pay more into a service have a greater say. Because of that system, last month a motion was defeated after four Campbell River directors voted opposed even though nine directors were in favour.

The mystery of the shaven cats MiKe Davies Campbell RiveR miRRoR
Jo Jo Yarjau is, in many ways, just your typical teenaged girl. She has lived on a comfortable, centrally-located crescent in a homey residential neighbourhood in Campbell River for all of her 18
years, and works at a small restaurant nearby. She recently graduated from Timberline Secondary, just around the corner and up the street from that home, and is considering what her future holds – just as any recent graduate would be doing. She loves cats. She and her family own two themselves, and their
house on Kit Crescent is a haven for others in the neighbourhood, she says. She often calls her own cats in from outside and finds others coming through their patio door before it closes. A couple of months ago, however, Yarjau noticed that her family’s 12-year-old cat, Tabby, was acting a bit odd.

Cats: Felines being shaved in Campbell River neighbourhood Continued from Pg. 1
found a bare patch on her belly in almost a perfect square,” she says, lovingly looking down at Tabby, curled up in the corner under the kitchen table. When Tabby came back a third time with what looked to be another shaven area on her belly – the second time her upper legs and base of her tail were shorn bare – an event which also saw her nipples cut, Yarjau put a call out on social media about the situation, and found others in her area had similar experiences. Vance Assu, who lives around the corner on Beaver Lodge Road, says his four-year-old cat Twilight has also been through this. Like the first time Yarjau noticed Tabby acting strange, Assu says it started earlier this year, “in February or March.” Twilight suddenly came home one evening with “a strange mark on his abdomen on his right side,” Assu says. “It looked like a perfectly shaved box shape.” The very next night, Twilight returned home with another shaved spot closer to his tail at the bottom of his back. A third time, Assu says, “it looked as if someone grabbed his tail and tried to cut it clean off, and there were clear shaven marks at the base of his tail.” Assu and his family have been trying to break Twilight of being “an outside cat” since the incidents started, but it’s just not working. “He doesn’t want anything to do with being in here, other than to eat and have a nap,” he says, “but even that is very rare. We’ve tried keeping the litter box inside, but he simply won’t use it.” Some of the responses Yarjau received to her concerned posts on social media suggested she attempt that for Tabby, as well. “People have been saying to just keep her inside. Well, you can’t do that with an outside cat.
and she thinks, “whoever it is must be luring her with food so they can do this to her.” Whatever the reason for this disturbing trend, Yarjau says, she just wants the community to
be aware that this is happening. The Yarjau’s have changed their habits with Tabby, and she thinks other people might want to consider doing the same.
“We only let her out at night now,” she says, “because it’s never happened at night. She’s not allowed to wander during the day anymore, because one day she just might not come back.”

Jo Jo Yarjau displays Tabby’s shaven belly. Residents of the Kit Crescent neighbourhood are upset at what appears to be someone shaving their cats.
She’ll go crazy. She’s 12. You can’t just do that all of a sudden.” People have also suggested that it may be that Tabby is ripping her own hair out, or perhaps it’s pesticides being used on neighbouring lawns that cause her hair to shed, but Yarjau thinks those theories aren’t sound, based on the precision

and meticulousness of the hair loss. “It’s a pretty clean shave,” she said. “They did a pretty good job holding my cat down. It must’ve been, like, a two man job.” Pesticide or selfgrooming also wouldn’t
explain the cut nipples discovered after this most recent experience. Yarjau also feels whoever is doing it must get some kind of sick pleasure out of it. “She won’t come up to people. She’s not one of those cats,” Yarjau says,

Regional district: Belief is Campbell River’s weighted voting is unfair
Continued from Pg. 1
MacDonald said that’s not fair. “I believe it is an unfair advantage to the directors sitting around the table when nine can vote for something and with a weighted vote, four can outvote the nine,” MacDonald said. His suggestion to make things more equitable was to change the voting unit from the current 1,500 to 2,500. That would mean that each of the regional district’s communities would get one vote on the board of directors for every 2,500 people that live within that region. While Campbell River would still have the majority, it would mean the number of Campbell River directors would be reduced to three and directors would hold 56 per cent of the vote, or 13 votes. Campbell River currently has 22 votes out of 33 on the board under the existing points system. MacDonald said while he doesn’t wish to see anyone leave the board, he does want to see a more equitable weighted vote structure. “ This low voting unit gives the City of Campbell River directors unfair influence on weighted votes, this being influenced by Campbell River holding
caucus on occasion prior to the SRD (Strathcona Regional District) board meeting, and coming in without an open mind in regards to the item, and have already made a decision on the item, without listening to debate, and staff comments,” MacDonald said. Director Ron Kerr, also a Campbell River city councillor, disagreed with that comment. “We don’t hold caucus, rarely have I sat down and talked with Campbell River directors on regional district issues, because I come in with an open mind and if you look at my voting record, I’ve voted on both sides,” Kerr said. “I can understand where this may be coming from but I take issue with that. That does not happen.” Campbell River Mayor and Director Andy Adams also took exception. “The Campbell River directors that are councillors do have discussions about some of the items that are on the agenda of the Strathcona Regional District but at no time is there direction, at no time is there collusion,” Adams said. “Each director is coming to this meeting as a director of the SRD but there are times when there are items of interest

in today’s Mirror, see page 15.
DON’T MISS IT!!!
and there is discussion.” Adams also said that if the voting unit were increased, it would mean inequities would still remain. “It’s representation by population. With the proposed change, the City of Campbell River has 60 plus per cent of the population but then is only getting 53 or 56 per cent of the vote,” Adams said. “The amount we’re putting in (in property taxes) versus how much we’re able to participate is inequitable.” Are a D D i re c tor Brenda Leigh noted that it also goes the other way, that some of the communities in the regional district have less than 1,500 people (Sayward, Tahsis and Zeballos) but still get one vote – the same amount of votes as a region with more than
1,333 people, such as Electoral Area A. Leigh said changing the voting unit wouldn’t make it any more fair. “I don’t really think it’s going to change anything,” Leigh said. “I think we need to work with what we’ve got and we need to work better with what we’ve got. If Campbell River lost a member I might lose one of my favourites and then I’d have an even rougher time.” Campbell River Director Charlie Cornfield agreed that looking around the table, the system is “far from being equitable or equal, but we do it anyway” and said the bigger issue is how changing the voting unit would affect numbers at the Comox Strathcona Solid Waste board and the regional Hospital Board.

tors from both the Strathcona Regional District and the Comox Valley sit on both of those boards, and currently the Strathcona directors outnumber the Comox
Valley directors by two, however, a weighted voting system is also in play. MacDonald, after listening to the discussion, changed his motion – which was approved by

Our View
Board faces a conundrum
The Strathcona Regional District board faces a dilemma: should it change its voting structure to downplay the influence City of Campbell River-based directors have on some issues and if so, change it to what? On the surface it seems unfair. Votes by city directors on the regional board – which serves as a forum to manage mutual issues on a regional basis – carry more weight than rural directors’ votes. Our democratic system is based on one person, one vote. We say: Should But the board gives more city directors hold weight to the local govmore weight than ernment that pays the most into the operation rural directors? of the regional district. Campbell River has the greatest population in the region, thus it has the most directors on the board (five) and holds 67 per cent of the weighted vote used mostly in finance-related issues. It leads to things like River directors winning votes on the basis of a 4-9, city/rural vote. Sayward Mayor John MacDonald suggested the board accept a reduction in the weight Campbell River directors enjoy. There’s some merit to the idea but the practicality of doing that proved too much for the board to accomplish. Thank goodness our elected representatives have that ever-present fallback: send it to staff to come back with a report on the implications. We await their discoveries.

ister Stephen Harper’s officials indicated would be needed, after Canada announced a pledge with other G7 leaders to make their economies carbon-free by 2100. That’s right, some time within the next 85 years. Clark visited General Fusion in May to announce her new climate action advisory panel, which has to give her a plan to take to Paris next December. That’s the next big United Nations climate summit, where Trudeau hopes to lead a delegation of premiers to stop the flow of “fossil awards” given to Canada by people in polar bear suits. Asked about the fusion reactor she had just toured, Clark laughed off the question, comparing it to the “flux capacitor” used for time travel in the Michael J. Fox movie Back to the Future. Trudeau recently told university students that we need to change our concepts of time

and space, and he didn’t seem to be kidding. The point here for voters is that all these leaders, Harper, Trudeau, Clark and many others, are talking down to you. You B.C. aren’t sophisticated enough to understand this climate business. The Pope has weighed in, assuring us that carbon trading systems are not going to cut it. This is a rebuke to California, Quebec and the European Union, where effective carbon trading is, like controlled fusion, just around the corner. Pope Francis warned that our “throwaway culture” views nature “solely as a source of profit and gain” and so people won’t voluntarily do the right thing. (The results of the Metro Vancouver transit plebiscite could be interpreted this way, if you ignore the bumbling, waste and political posturing that really did it in.)

Your community news team:
Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau came to Vancouver last week to unveil his environmental platform for the Oct. 19 federal election. Trudeau promised an overhaul of the National Energy Board and a vaguely defined intention to work with provinces to impose a “price” on carbon dioxide emissions across the country. Trudeau’s media tour took him to the Burnaby facilities of General Fusion, where, like Premier Christy Clark a few weeks before, he stood at his podium before a prototype fusion reactor. This massive octopus of pistons and wires is an attempt to capture the nuclear reaction that powers the sun and other stars, containing its fury within steel walls and magnetic fields. The old joke about controlled fusion is that every 20 years, scientists tell us it’s just 20 years away. If it ever is developed, such a process could quickly put an end to our hand-wringing about fossil fuels, largely replacing them with endless, emission-free energy. This is the type of technological revolution that Prime Min-

As this is now a public matter and thousands of people Canada wide are signing a petition to reinstate Officer Casavant it would be a prudent move to do so. I’d suggest that Mr. Gordon Hitchcock should reinstate him NOW. Maybe a petition to boycott BC would be in order. After all, coming to see the wildlife in BC is just one reason people travel to BC.

The Pope concludes that there is “an urgent need” for a “true world political authority” to impose order on the greedy capitalist humans that infest our beautiful planet. Presumably this would be the run by the UN, so my advice is to start hoarding candles and cat food now. B.C.’s frozen carbon tax has ceased to have much effect, with gasoline consumption back up over 2008 levels amid the usual volatility of prices. Gasoline is going for around $1.30 a litre, despite the prolonged slump in crude oil prices, and people have basically forgotten about this tax on top of all the other gas taxes. Perhaps B.C. can brag in Paris about the Pacific Carbon Trust, which limps along after its near-death experience in 2013. The trust continues to divert tax dollars from B.C. government operations to purported carbon-saving activities, including paying coastal First Nations not to log the portions of forests that they demanded be preserved. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Let’s hope ‘first-past-the-post’ soon becomes history Another federal election is fast approaching. As you decide who to vote for, you may well consider voting strategically; ie. if the candidate and/or party you support doesn’t have a chance of winning, you would choose another candidate and/or party that has a better chance of winning. You would vote strategically because our current electoral system encourages it. The present system is called “first-past-the-post” and it’s designed to allow a party with a minority of voter support across the
country to form a majority government. That’s what happened in the 2011 election. The Harper Conservatives formed a majority government by winning 53 per cent of the seats in parliament (166 seats). They got to exercise 100 per cent of the power with only 39.6 per cent of the popular vote. As a result, 61 per cent of Canadian voters effectively had no representation in government. “First-past-the-post” not only leads to strategic voting; it also causes low voter turnout. Many, especially young people,
feel “What’s the point of voting?” So they don’t show up at the polls. I lived for over 20 years in Alberta, and that’s how I felt every election. The current system also gives a government – even though it garnered a minority of the popular vote – the power to push through controversial legislation like Bill C-51 and Harper’s omnibus bills that a majority of Canadians would not likely support. It’s time for a change. An organization called Fair Vote Canada (www. fairvote.ca) is actively encouraging Canadians
to do what many democracies, such as New Zealand and a number of European countries have done: adopt an electoral system based on Proportional Representation (PR). PR systems (and there are a few of them to choose from) operate on the principle that the number of seats a party gains in the legislature should closely match the percentage of voters who voted for it. For example, under a PR system, the results of the 2011 election would have had the Conservatives with 124 seats (rather than 166); the NDP with 94, the
Liberals with 59, the Bloc with 19, and the Greens with 12 seats. Thus, PR tends to produce legislatures which better reflect the diversity of views in the Canadian population, including regional, ethnic and gender diversity. PR would also necessitate parties to work together for common goals rather than operate in a totally adversarial way in the House of Commons, as they do at present. Those wretched “hate” ads might disappear as well. Yes, under PR there will be minority govern-
ments, necessitating the forming of coalitions, but history has shown that great things have been achieved in minority situations, such as Universal Health Care, the Canada Pension Plan, the Family Allowance and the Charter Of Rights And Freedoms. Fair Vote Canada’s goal is to get a majority of elected MPs to support a PR electoral system. To that end, myself, Connie Burns and Corrine Corry, all residents in this North Island/ Powell River Riding, set out to interview all four candidates in this riding
and ask them to sign on in support of PR. The Conservative candidate refused to meet with us, simply directing us to their website. We met with the Liberal, NDP and Green candidates and each made a signed commitment in support of PR. It is our hope, and Fair Vote Canada’s intention, that the 2015 election will be the last one to operate under a “firstpast-the-post” system. If you share that hope, then let your vote count in October. Murray Etty Campbell River

She said if the city required cats to be licensed, cats who destroy private property and who go missing could be identified, along with their owners. Council, at its Monday meeting, was in receipt of Panchyshyn’s letter but Coun. Charlie Cornfield wasn’t sure if the city was in a position to implement cat control. “I remember a number of years ago that the cat issue was a problem and we had talked about licensing or even requiring them to be belled and at the time the (former) city clerk had indicated that cats had freedom of the realm, it goes back to the plague days and the fact you can’t license or restrict cats,” Cornfield said. “I wanted to know if that still stood because… I think it’s Kelowna and
Calgary that have cat bylaws.” City Clerk Peter Wipper said he had heard the same, but said he would report back to council. The City of Calgary, according to its website, does have a bylaw that requires cat owners to license their cats and ensure their cats do not disturb the peace by howling or crying, do not damage others’ property, do not scatter garbage, do not chase, threaten or attack a person or an animal, and remain on the owner’s property. The Town of Port McNeill requires all cats to be licensed and the owners of a cat who defecates on another person’s property to remove the defecated matter. Panchyshyn says she would like to see cats restricted
to their owner’s property, similar to the bylaw adopted in Calgary. She says leashes, tethers and full enclosures work as well for cats as they do dogs. “Cats should not be allowed to run free any more than a dog should be. Some cats have bacteria that can cause cat scratch fever, which is a bacterial infection that can cause serious health issues,” she says. In the meantime, Cornfield said he looks forward to the report from staff clarifying whether cats can be added to the city’s animal control bylaw. “I know it’s been an issue for a number of people and I want to make sure the answer I’m giving them is correct,” he said.
Campbell River will play host to representatives
from local governments across Vancouver Island
and along coastal B.C. The city was named the host city of the 2017 Association of Vancouver Island and Coastal Communities’ (AVICC) annual general meeting (AGM) and convention, which will bring as many as 400 people to Campbell River. The convention is scheduled for April 7 to 9, 2017 at the Community Centre and the Sportsplex. Mayor Andy Adams says the event will be a big benefit for the community. “Hosting the delegates and their guests at this conference will boost business for local hotels and restaurants and support our plans to enhance and expand local economic development and tourism promotion,” Adams says. “It will also provide
an opportunity for people from other areas to enjoy Campbell River’s many attractions and amenities and to showcase our spectacular setting and exceptional lifestyle in Campbell River.” Barbara Price, a Comox town councillor and president of AVICC, said she looks forward to what Campbell River has to offer. “We are very pleased to award the 2017 AGM and convention to the City of Campbell River and look forward to working together to offer delegates, sponsors and their guests another great Island experience.” Courtenay hosted this year’s AVICC convention and the City of Nanaimo will play host in 2016.

“unregulated menace to neighbourhoods.” Samantha Panchyshyn is talking about cats, which she would like to see regulated under the city’s animal control bylaw. Panchyshyn, in a letter to council, says that a case can be made to restrict the movement of cats as they ruin gardens and make sandboxes health hazards with the excrement they leave behind. “They also harass and kill local song birds, including climbing trees to go after young birds in nests,” Panchyshyn wrote. “They also go after outdoor aviaries and small pets such as rabbits and hens that are often kept outside. They are an unregulated menace to neighbourhoods.”

Hank Cramer joins Gardener’s Greenhouse series in Merville
A
s the summer doldrums set in (aren’t we hot enough already?), The Otter’s Holt Concert Series is pleased to welcome a performer from Washington state to our liven things up in Merville, July 22at 7 p.m. Hank Cramer is one of the best-known folksingers on the West Coast. Boisterous songs of the sea are his forte, though he is equally versed in Celtic ballads, railroad tunes, and cowboy songs.
He is no stranger to Vancouver Island audiences. He and his band Constellation’s Crew gave welcoming concerts for Tall Ships Victoria in both 2005 and 2008. Hank has performed for both the Saltwater and Island Folk Festivals, and has sung for folk clubs at Sooke, Victoria, Deep Cove, Nanaimo, Lantzville, Qualicum Beach,Highlands, Mill Bay, and Brentwood Bay for over twenty years. Hi s t r ave l s h ave
brought many Canadian songs into his repertoire – fans of Gordon Lightfoot, Ian Tyson, Stan Rogers, and James Keelaghan will find favorites to sing along with. Cramer is also wellknown in maritime circles as both a musician and historian. He has served for years as the “shantyman” (work-song leader) aboard the historic brig Lady Washington, and has given educational presentations at
the Maritime Museum of British Columbia, Columbia River Maritime Museum, USS Constitution Museum, and Lunenburg Folk Festival. Sing Out! magazine described Hank’s Songs of USS Constellation album as “the most beautiful and accomplished album of sea music we’ve ever heard.” So far, Hank has recorded twenty albums, three music videos, and three movie soundtracks. The concert takes
the format of Merville’s Gardener’s Green house concert series – two 45-minute sets with an intermission between, and all proceeds go to the performers. For complete information on the Merville show or concert series (ticket availability, location, and directions) contact Barbara or David Denz at 250 923-6361. For more on Hank Cramer’s musical stylings, find him on YouTube or call 509-996-3528.
Ten Times Bigger hopes to revive live music in CR
W
Local musicians Steve “Ringer” Ring, Larry Anderson and Ray Sharp, collectively known as Ten Times Bigger, play the Legion this Saturday, and are hoping to make it a recurring event.
ith the closing of the Quinsam Hotel, Campbell River’s options for live entertainment have dried up a bit. In an effort to do something about this, local musicians Steve “Ringer” Ring, Larry Anderson and Ray Sharp, collectively known as Ten Times Bigger, have joined forces with the Campbell River Legion to host a series of dances at the Legion Hall beginning Saturday. “We really want to give people a safe, fun option for going out for a night of dancing and partying,” says Ringer. “We’re hoping that there is enough of an appetite to do something like this on a regular basis.” The band decided that the Legion was the perfect place to try this idea out. Like many of the province’s Legions, they feel Campbell River’s Branch #137 is far past its heyday and could use all the support it can get. “We all feel strongly about
helping the Legion,” Ringer says. “It’s an important link to a very critical part of our history and it’s getting more and more important to preserve the memory of the men and women that all Legions represent.” It also puts a lot of money into the community by supporting the likes of the Food Bank, the Knights of Columbus, and a host of other local causes, he says. For those not familiar with Ten Times Bigger, they are a local cover band that have been entertaining Vancouver Island with a variety of music from the last six decades for over 10 years. Tickets for the dance are only $10 and are available at the Legion and at the Music Plant. Doors open at 8 p.m. and the show starts at 9 p.m. You must be 19 years of age to attend. For more information, call Ringer at 250-286-3434 of check out Ten Times Bigger on Facebook.

Campbell River lifters power way to gold J.R. RARDON CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
In his years of competing for Campbell River Special Olympics, Tye Cranton has tried curling, 5- and 10-pin bowling and bocce. But the 21-year-old found his true calling when he discovered powerlifting two and a half years ago. At the recent Summer Open, part of the BC Provincial Powerlifting Championships in Vancouver, Cranton won a gold medal in the men’s junior 120-kg Special Olympics division. The medal was added to a collection that now includes five golds, two silvers and a bronze in his brief career. “I was thinking I would be doing pretty good, because we train whenever we can,” said Cranton. “I like powerlifting because of how my team is very nice and supportive of me and how I get
to meet interesting and new people along the way.” Cranton was joined at the competition by teammate Callum Maclagan, who also won gold while competing in the 120+ men’s junior division. “They put a lot of work in; these guys have been training for this since November,” said George Maclagan, Callum’s father and powerlifting coach for Campbell River Special Olympics. G e orge Ma cl ag an noted that Special Olympics competition is about not only winning, but about advancing and improving skill levels. “These guys are both good enough lifters that if they just show up, they win,” the elder Maclagan said. “But it’s always about competing against themselves, and they both achieved personal bests and attempted beyond their personal bests.” Maclagan also said
TERRI CRANTON
From left, Ken Cranton, Tye Cranton, Callum Maclagan and George Maclagan celebrate gold-medal wins by Tye and Callum in the Special Olympics powerlifting competition in Vancouver.
powerlifting competition is 90 per cent mental once the athlete has trained and arrived for competition. The Granville Island theatre used for the Summer Open featured lights, music and a stage setting that ■ ■ ■ ■
normally would set off athletes with autism or emotional challenges. Both lifters missed an attempt, only to recover and nail their next attempt. “They’re able to focus into what they need
to do; it’s absolutely a strength for these two,” George Maclagan said. “They can miss a lift and still refocus, repurpose on the task at hand.” To that end, the coach said, yoga has been incorporated into the
team’s training regimen, which includes up to four sessions a week at West Coast Muscle and Fitness. In the provincial competition, Cranton completed a bench press of 72.5 kilograms and dead lift of 135 kilograms, on his final attempt. Callum Maclagan, 22, has been training and competing for more than five years. He bench pressed 130 kg and notched a dead lift of 205 kg to post the overall top weight of the competition at 335 kg. George Maclagan said the success of the Special Olympics powerlifting program has led organizers to look to expand it into Port Hardy and Port McNeill to the north and Courtenay and Victoria to the south. “As much as we serve 120 Special Olympics athletes here in Campbell River, there are another 120 that could be participating,” he said.
“People who participate in Special Olympics are more likely to live on their own, in some fashion. They’re more likely to have jobs.” Cranton provides a likely example. This March, he began working part-time at Shoppers Drug Mart at Hilchey and Dogwood, and also earns money mowing lawns and working for a paper shredding company. “He is an awesome young man, and we love having him around,” said Shaun Dietrich, his supervisor at Shoppers. “He is so joyful — and funny.” Cranton is not sure how long he will continue to compete in power lifting, but did make note of the fact the Special Olympics world championships are scheduled for 2018 in Halifax. “Right now I’m aiming for another couple and a half years,” he said.

SALE
TERRY GUEST
SPECIAL TO THE MIRROR
Saratoga Speedway presented Eve of Destruction for the first time on Saturday. Carmageddon Stunt team driver Alex Benyuk, the Ukrainian Sensation, plowed his blacked-out F150 through a stack of three mini vans. Benyuk also took part in the fan favourite Crash to Pass boat race, which saw him jump his little Dodge Neon over the ramp as well after the race was over. Eight cars entered into one of the most entertaining boat races at the track in years, and after the fibreglass had settled, Sheldon Hopp sailed away with his first ever Crash to Pass boat victory. The Hornet cars and the Roadrunners joined into the fun as well Saturday, with Courtenay KIA and Saratoga’s new KIA Optima Pace car sponsoring the night of carnage. Hornet and Roadrunner dash wins went to Garrett Ann-Rosner, Darren Monk and Austen Hack, who claimed his first ever win at the

track. Hopp set the tone for the boat race to follow by winning the heat race in the Crash to Pass division. The Roadrunner heat win went to Nick Leavitt, and Hornets heats saw wins by Jacob Ferrier, Wesley Pheaton — another first-timer winner — Rowland Westra, Taylor Pheaton, and Kevin Lawrenuk, who was racing for his last time before heading to the Air Force. Hopp again dominated the field in the 20-lap Crash to Pass main, holding on to take home
an action-packed event that saw only three cars finish. In the Hornet B main, Dana Vogel led the first six laps until points leader Westra made his move and took over for his fourth main event win of the year. Shawn Allen followed in second and Carter Hintz finished third. The Roadrunner class was again dominated by Ryan Guest, who got his car back to form after early mechanical issues and raced to his sixth straight main event win. Devon Degraag placed

second and Tristen Zeinstra third. The Hornet A main turned into a sibling rivalry as Jennifer Lawrenuk held the lead for 15 laps before brother Kevin capitalized on lap traffic and moved around his sister to take the lead for good. Jennifer held on to finish second, and Glenn White placed third. Extra laps ... This weekend marks Round 3 of Drag Racing, Drifting, and Time Attack at Saratoga. The Dwarf cars have also been added on to the card for a play date.

Ravens race into provincials Doctor prescribes
FRIDAY, JULY 10, 2015 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR | 19
www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com
The Ravens will open Bantam B provincial play Friday, July 17, with pool games against Abbotsford and Port Coquitlam. Pool play wraps up the following day with a game against Prince George. The top two finishers in each pool will square off in the evening semifinal session July 18. The Ravens won last year’s Bantam B provincial title with a 9-5 win over their Vancouver Island Lacrosse League rivals, the Juan de Fuca
Whalers. Meanwhile, the Ravens A2 midget team bowed out in its Island finals series with a pair of losses Saturday to Nanaimo, also played in Duncan. Nanaimo posted wins of 9-3 and 10-3 over the Ravens. The midget C finals, scheduled for Sunday between Campbell River and Juan de Fuca, were cancelled. Peewee provincials Campbell River’s Pee-
wee C Ravens open play in the 2015 provincial championships today at Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows arenas. The peewees will open with a 10:15 a.m. game against Delta in Pitt Meadows, then square off with Mission at 6 p.m. in the same rink. The Ravens will wrap up pool play against West Kootenay Saturday at 11 a.m. The top two teams in each pool advance to the provincial semifinals, to be played in Saturday’s evening session.
Peewees power to tourney title The Campbell River Tyees 13U Peewee summer baseball team swept to perfect 5-0 record and the championship of the Diane Cook Memorial Tournament in Surrey/ Newton June 27-29. The Tyees clinched the title with a 9-8, extrainning win over Rutland in what was arguably the most exciting game of the weekend. Two runs by Rutland in the top of the seventh left the Tyees down 8-7. In the bottom of the seventh, Branden Lambert reached with a walk, stole second and advanced to third on a sacrifice by Laine Rogers. On the next pitch, Tyee batter Gage Windle squared to bunt, but the Rutland pitcher threw one in the dirt, allowing Lambert to race home with the tying score. The Tyees shut down the Rockies with three quick outs in the top of the eighth. In the bottom half, Isaac McKenzie drew a leadoff walk and stole second on the next pitch. The next Tyees batter, Greyer McLain,

worked himself to a 1-1 count before lacing a line drive up the middle that chased McKenzie home as the Campbell River dugout emptied and mobbed him at the plate. Rogers, McLain and Riley Sutherland all took care of the pitching, while McKenzie picked up the game MVP honours. Campbell River advanced by overcoming a 3-0, first-inning

deficit to roll past the Port Coquitlam A’s 10-3 in the semifinals. Sutherland led the offence with a heavy bat, hitting his second ground-rule double in as many days with a one-hopper over the right field fence. The Tyees opened tourney play with an 11-9 thriller over Kamloops, outdueled Tsawas-
sen in a 20-16 slugfest, and clinched the top spot in their pool with a 13-5 romp over the Newton Dodgers. The Tyees resume tournament play in Ridge Meadows beginning today, then move on to the Island Zone Provincial qualifying tourney July 17-19 in Duncan.

The Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC stocks Kokanee into 35 lakes on the mainland. Kokanee are landlocked sockeye salmon and are an excellent sport fish and good eating. They school and the action is fast and furious. Kokanee can get to 1.35 kg and the average is .75 to 1.5 lbs. Anglers troll with downriggers and they love pink. You can cover a lot of water by trolling and you can try still fishing with bait.
There is an abundance of salmon coming in 15 to 20 pounds and some bigger fish are being caught in the mid20s. Anne Martin had a Tyee that came in at 31 pounds.
Brandon Nielsen was halibut fishing 18 miles offshore when a humpback whale got entangled in his anchor line. It towed his 25 foot boat fast enough to create a wake (about 10 knots which is nearly 12 mph). The whale panicked and turned semi circle and did nearly a full body breach within 30 feet of
Kokanee are not stocked on Vancouver Island but there are reports Cameron, Home and Comox Lakes have kokanee. At Roberts Lake a few years ago, small kokanee were caught in the south end of the lake. Roberts Lake was last stocked with cutthroat trout in the fall of 2007. It had received rainbow trout in the spring of 2005. The free family fun fishing derby at Roberts Lake is set for Sept. 19.
Kevin Gillanders with a 28 pounder from Campbell River Brandon had the 300 HP outboard in full reverse trying to avoid the bow getting towed underwater and the possible loss of the boat. As the whale crossed the stern the anchor rope was hit by the propeller and cut the line.
his bow. He handed out the life jackets for fear the boat would be pulled under and tried to cut the anchor line with a knife tied to a brush handle but couldn’t reach the line. The whale stayed near the surface rather than dive and did another circle back towards the boat but went behind the boat. By this time

The really good salmon fishing has started early and the catch reports from Painters Lodge guides continue to get better as we hit the hot days of summer.
Lingcod fishing has been good and size range is close to 15 pounds and some bigger fish are being caught north of Browns Bay. In the Sayward area, some good lingcod are being caught in the deep holes. At the Kelsey Bay wharf the pinks should be coming in very soon.

This spring has been a busy one for the BC Salmon Farmers Association. There have b e en numerous tours running throughout May and June, including many public tours offered during the BC Shellfish & Seafood Festival (June 12-21). Due to the popularity of these tours, the BCSFA will be running public tours on Thursday, July 16 and Thursday, August 20. With June designated as B.C. Seafood Month, the BCSFA has been running its popular tours throughout the spring, and will be offering only two tours this summer. Space is limited to 11 people for each tour and
they are filling up fast. The cost is $50, which includes lunch, and spots can be reserved through the Vancouver Island Visitor Centre at 1-855400-2882 or via email info@vivccomoxvalley. com. “This year our focus has been on getting more involved in the BC Shellfish & Seafood Festival, offering most of our public tours to festival participants,” said David Minato, Regulator y Affairs and Community Manager. “We recognize that these tours are valuable in giving the public an inside look at the industry – through the sights they see, as well as the knowledge they gain by speaking with the farmers – so we’re host-
ing two tours for this summer for those who weren’t able to join us in June.” Tours depart from Discovery Launch Water Taxis in Campbell River at 9 a.m. and last about four hours. Participants will enjoy a boat ride through the Seymour Narrows – taking in the beautiful scenery and possibly seeing marine wildlife such as seals, otters and whales. About the BC Salmon Farmers Association:
B.C salmon farmers grow 58 per cent of all salmon raised in Canada and account for 60 per cent of the total landed value of seafood in British Columbia, generating more than $1.14-billion towards the provincial economy. The BCSFA represents the province’s vibrant and diversified salmon aquaculture sector inclusive of companies raising salmon as well as the businesses that proudly provide services and supplies. For more information visit BCSalmonFarmers.ca
If you’re interested in finding out how a salmon farm works, the BC Salmon Farmers Association is conducting tours of aquaculture operations in July and August.

Every day Golf Pro’s are asked to create consistency in their students games. Golfers of all abilities enjoy fantastic shots from time to time. Golfers that shoot higher scores just hit some very poor ones too. If you watch a good golfer play, you’ll see that they also hit poor shots, it’s just that their poor shots don’t get them in as much trouble. Usually this is down to a more refined, repeatable swing. As a newcomer, or someone that doesn’t have a lot of spare time to really work on your game, you’ll likely be unable to feel the technique differences between your good shots and poor ones. If this is the case it becomes very difficult to stop hitting the poor ones or continue hitting the good ones. As a CPGA Professional Instructor I would (of course) recommend taking golf lessons. A critical part of a golf lesson isn’t only about changing poor technique, but leaving a golf lesson with a sound understanding as to why it happens. If you hit a poor shot several weeks later on a golf course, you’ll understand why it happened, and better yet, know what caused it and how not to repeat it. Possibly no frustration felt at all on the golf course that day! Is that even possible?! Without seeing each reader’s individual golf swings, those that suffer the most inconsistency are likely those with the most moving parts in their golf swings. To rectify this, keep your head absolutely still throughout the swing. Limiting the moving parts will create a more repeatable swing. One of my favourite swings on tour is Louis Oosthuizen. See the swing sequence below. From a small frame, he creates a tremendously efficient, repeatable move while hardly moving his head.

This drill also teaches you how to maintain your posture throughout your swing. Feel your weight move in to your trail heel in the back swing and lead heel in your through swing.

Responding to dry conditions, the Government of B.C. announced a Level 4 drought rating for Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, last week. The government also took the additional action of suspending angling in streams and rivers throughout southern Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands due to ongoing low stream flows and warming water temperatures. But the local sportsfishing service industry
is concerned that anglers will be confused about where the fishing ban begins. They note the ban applies to the Oyster River and river courses south from there. The Campbell and the Quinsam rivers are still open. “The Quinsam currently has sufficient water refuges to adequately protect fish, even with normal angling pressure,” said Greig Bethel, spokersperson for the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural
IT’S BACK!
Resource Operations. “The Campbell River is also not currently closed, nor are other rivers in management unit 1-10. As with the Quinsam, the Campbell River is not at the same level of risk (as rivers further south).” At Level 4, conditions are extremely dry. Further declines in stream, lake and aquifer levels could lead to water shortages and affect people, industry such as agriculture, wildlife, and fish stocks.

All water users are urged to maximize their water cons er vation efforts. Steve Thomson, Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations said, “As we experience warmer and drier weather, it is important that we are able to react quickly to protect vulnerable fish stocks. “That is what we’ve done today, and what we will continue to do in future, as conditions warrant.” Effective July 4, vir-
tually all angling in streams and rivers in Wildlife Management Units 1-1 through 1-6 is suspended. The closure has been put in place to protect fish stocks at a time when they are vulnerable due to low flows and high water temperatures. The geographic area covers Bamfield south to Victoria on the west coast, and south of the Campbell River to Victoria on the east coast. Key rivers affected by the order include the
Caycuse, Chemainus, Cowichan, Englishman, Gordon, Little Qualicum, Nanaimo, Nitinat, Oyster, Puntledge, San Juan, Sooke, Trent and Tsable. The Qualicum (known as “Big Qualicum”) is also exempt from the closure. On this stream fishing can continue as normal. Like the Quinsam and the Campbell, the Qualicum has sufficient water refuges to adequately protect fish, even with normal angling pressure.
The angling closure order is for southern Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands only, but B.C. government fisheries biologists are monitoring approximately 75 other key angling streams across the province, and if conditions warrant, additional closures are possible. Lake fishing is not affected by the order. Angling closures are enabled through the British Columbia Sport Fishing Regulations of the federal Fisheries Act.

All manner of human-powered craft gather at Georgia Quay for the annual Discovery Passage Passage in August. Plans for this year’s event are underway and people are invited to register for the annual crossing between Cape Mudge and Campbell River.
PASSAGE ON THE PASSAGE CELEBRATE PADDLE POWER P
addlers of all stripes are invited to join the Discovery Passage Passage when it returns for the ninth year Aug. 22. Conceived as a “hands across the water” event to link Campbell River with the historic village on Cape Mudge, the passage is open to all human-powered craft including kayaks, canoes, rowboats, paddle boards and even dragon boats. “Pretty much no
motors, is basically the only criteria,” said Ian Goodship, son of event founder Jeff Goodship. “We like to think of it as a fun, non-competitive family event, but anybody can come and join in.” The 6.5-kilometre, round-trip passage has drawn between 100 and 150 paddlers across a wide range of ages and styles. Last year’s entries include 88-year-old Don McIvor in a clinker built rowboat and a handful of paddle boarders.
Ian Goodship noted the event’s first paddle board was entered one year earlier, by a woman seven months pregnant at the time. There is no entry fee and no prizes. Participants paddle across to the Cape Mudge beach, where community members host a welcoming ceremony centred around the village’s cedar great canoe. Afterward, paddlers make the return journey to Campbell River on the tide.
All participants must wear an approved personal floatation device and follow Coast Guard safety regulations. The Coast Guard and several boats from the Campbell River Yacht Club will travel along for safety and support. There have been no deaths or injuries in the passage. “Last year was the first time people went into the water,” said Goodship. “They were in for a few minutes before they were helped out. Then
everybody went back to Campbell River and laughed about it.” This year’s Passage Passage will start at approximately 11 a.m., depending on the tide. Boats gather and depart from the boatways next to the old Government Dock downtown. Though there is no entry cost, paddlers are asked register in advance for security reasons. To sign up, visit www.incampbellriver. net or call 250-8304056.

More Italian wines to sip in the summer heat…
I
t’s difficult to decide where to start exploring Italian wines. There are so many varieties and styles to choose from – dry and sweet, white and red, still or sparkling. Fortunately, it’s almost impossible, today to choose wines that just don’t make the grade. The Greeks brought the art of grape growing, to southern Italy. In central Italy, the Etruscans produced wine. As civilization evolved, the Romans improved upon Etruscan techniques. Today’s Italian winemakers are refining their equipment and techniques and producing marvellously modern wines. Traditional Italian winemaking involved old-fashioned open vats of crushed grapes and uncontrolled natural fermentations that could run very hot.
Open vats encourage wine grape meld with oxidation; hot natural classic blackcurrant fermentations can burn notes with subtle layoff the natural fruity ers of sandy sun-baked characters thyme and of the WINE anise. wines.

A bounty of aromas and flavours - fresh sliced peaches and just squeezed lemons; it is very sassy on first sip, with an intriguing nutty sprinkling of crushed almonds and anise in the finish. From an equally obscure white wine grape, Miopasso Fiano IGP (207357) $16.90 is grown in Sicily. At first glance, the rich gold colour of this Fiano promises a weightier kind of white wine and that’s exactly what it is! Vaguely woodsy – more gnarly grape vine than toasted vanilla oak – it shows off some lime and green apple aromas and flavours before opening up to subtle notes of honey and hazelnut. Some of Italy’s red wine varieties are more or less completely unknown to most wine lovers in North America. Beyond Sangiovese,

Nebbiolo and Barbera there are so many others – Negroamaro is on the rise, often blended with Nero d’Avola. Appolonio Squinzano Rosso DOP (482463) $20.45 is a wonderful puzzle of a red from Puglia on the heel of the Italian boot. Starting with 70 per cent Negroamaro and 15 per cent Sangiovese Marcello and Massimiliano Apollonio add 10 per cent Malvasia Nera di Lecce and five per cent Malvasia Nera di Brindisi. Deep, dusky, earthy berry fruit aromas are supported by an undercurrent of dark, dried plum and woody prune and molasses. Unfiltered, unchilled and unpasteurized. Stand the bottle overnight, before serving, and decant slowly to avoid the fine deposit of natural grape sediments. Aglianico is one of the oldest grapes known to humanity and is rumoured to be the variety responsible for Rome’s ancient firstgrowth renowned red Falernian. Rivera Cappellaccio Aglianico Castel del Monte Riserva DOC (118687) $27.05 is made from 100 per cent Aglianico and offers up dusky dried cherries, sweet sage, mint, fresh cut tobacco leafiness and smoked meat. Still an outrageously popular phenomenon, Prosecco shouldn’t be overlooked entirely. But outside of the Prosecco zone, there isn’t any Italian sparkling wine with the ‘bling’ of Bottega Diamond Spumante Brut (829804) $39.99 made from 100 per cent Pinot Noir. The glossy black bottle even sparkles and is encrusted with a series of small gem-like brilliants representing the name Bottega and the brand Cantina dei Poeti. Crisp citric flavours scintillate in the fine mousse of bubbles with subtle red berry notes lingering in the finish. So pour yourself a sip of something sinfully delicious from Italy! Salute! Cin cin! Sponsored by MetroLiquor your WineWise guy will be guiding a Sauvignon Blanc and Seafood tapas event on July 11 at 6:30 p.m. at The Riptide Pub & Grill. Tickets are $40.

CAMPBELL RIVER
BOOMERS & Beyond Abuse and Neglect of Older Adults: Information for Family Caregivers Eighty per cent of caregiving for older adults is provided by families, usually by a spouse, partner or adult children. Families may help an aging parent or spouse with daily activities, finances such as banking or paying bills, or personal care such as bathing and dressing. They may take on these responsibilities out of love or a sense of personal or family duty. Every family is different. Some family relationships are very positive and mutually supportive. Others experience mixed feelings, conflict and tension. What types of abuse or neglect can happen to older adults? Abuse and neglect in later life can affect a person’s health, happiness and safety. Older adults can experience different kinds of harm from people they rely on or trust. It can take many forms including physical, emotional, financial, sexual, spiritual, or social, or withholding medication or the necessities of life. Why does abuse or neglect happen?
Most people do not intend to become abusive or neglectful. They may not feel comfortable with the changing roles in their family, especially if the older adult now needs to rely on them. Some family members may not know how to provide the care or assistance needed. They may not understand the nature of the health concern and how it affects the older adult's abilities or behaviour. In some situations of abuse, people may use physical force or emotional control over the other person throughout the relationship. For some spouses in later life, both the person providing care and the person receiving care may have some difficulties with their health, memory, or ability to make decisions. This can affect how people relate and react to each other. Family caregivers often have other responsibilities at work or at home, such as their own families. Trying to handle these can lead to tensions and conflicts within the family. Sometimes family
caregivers may have personal problems including financial, mental health, or substance misuse. It may be difficult for them to safely offer caregiving. What is financial abuse of older adults? A family member may not realize their legal responsibilities when assisting an older adult with finances, particularly as a power of attorney. They may take over the finances because this seems easier. Some may feel entitled to the money or property, or they may assume they will get it anyway and believe they have the right to use it now. This may lead to financial abuse. For more information, see HealthLinkBC File #93d Financial Abuse of Older Adults. How to identify stress that may lead to abuse? Most people giving care to someone may feel very stressed at times. Fortunately, people can learn to recognize the signs of stress. To help alleviate a stressful situation and reduce the possibility of abuse or neglect, pay attention to your own emotional
and physical health. Here are some signs of stress: • changes in your feelings, such as becoming anxious or depressed; • always feeling exhausted; • needing medication to help you sleep or cope; • making changes in your lifestyle, including the amount you eat, or the amount of tea, coffee or alcohol you drink; and • visiting your health care provider more often or developing health concerns. Everyone has a limit and each person's limit is different. A person’s needs and abilities can change over time. Be willing to ask for and accept help. How can abuse and neglect be prevented? There are many ways that families can prevent abuse or neglect happening to others or themselves in later life. Good communication Good
communication
and
support within families, as well as between couples, are very important. Talk about the current situation and plan for future needs. What can a parent or family member do on their own? What can they do with some support? This can help set realistic expectations for families. Regular contact among family members can be very helpful and supportive. This can help everyone be aware of changes in a parent, spouse or partner's health. Some health concerns can be prevented or slowed down. Couples can often make small changes in their home and support services as they grow older. Work together Good caregiving means having the time, right personality, and resources to take on this responsibility. Try to share the caregiving responsibilities if possible. Family members often have different skills and can be supportive in various ways. Take time to learn about what community resources are available.
Strengthen relationships Even if an older person's health or abilities change, many aspects of the relationship remain very rewarding. Some families strengthen relationships by keeping in touch, sharing old traditions and creating new ones. Take care of yourself Taking care of yourself, and making sure you have regular time for yourself are important for providing care to family members or others. Even little breaks from caregiving, including short walks or a favourite hobby can help refresh you mentally and physically. Set aside part of the day to do these things. Give up some of the responsibilities you usually take on. Make use of local caregiver support groups, which can help you find resources or learn useful tips. What should I do if I see a crime or harmful situation? If you see a crime or harmful situation occurring to an older adult, call the police or 9-1-1 right away. Source: http://www.healthlinkbc

Redhead, Verna Ilene August 17, 1925 June 29, 2015
With heavy hearts, the family of Verna Ilene Redhead (Adams) announces her passing on June 29, 2015 in Campbell River, B.C. at the age of 89 years. She leaves her brother, Ernest Adams; her children, Pat Redhead, Karen Redhead, Barbara Krack (Calvin), Bob Redhead (Sandy), Gordon Redhead (Laura); as well as ten grandchildren and thirteen greatgrandchildren. She was predeceased by her parents, Chestley Charles Adams and Cora Viola Adams (Lorensen); her husband, Robert Fredrick (Fred) Redhead; and her son, Ronald Ray Redhead. Even as a little girl growing up in Prince Albert, SK, Verna Ilene wanted a large family. She married Fred Redhead in September 1945 when he returned from fighting in WWII and they had six children. Fred worked for the Beaver Lumber Company, Co-op Lumber, and the Veterans’ Land Act and as a result the family lived in several places in Saskatchewan including Nipawin, Eston, White Bear, Hodgeville, St. Walburg, Melville, Wakaw and Prince Albert. They also lived in Sydney, Nova Scotia for a few years. Fred died in 1996 and, in 2007, Verna moved to B.C. with her daughters, Pat and Barbara. After the children had grown, Verna was the manager of the Prince Albert Historical Museum from 1980 – 1987. She was a lifetime member of the Rupert’s Land Society and served on museum boards at the city, provincial and national levels. In 1988, she received an Honorary Life Membership from the Saskatchewan Museum Association. She was also a board member for the Victoria Union Hospital, the Prince Albert Co-op, the P.A. Embroiders Guild, the P.A. Genealogy Society, and the Salvation Army. In 1995, Verna and two cousins, June Kelly and Jackie Hobbs, collaborated to produce a genealogy of “The Descendants of George Adams and Ann Heywood�. Verna worked as a volunteer in the Archives of the Synod Office of The Anglican Diocese of Saskatchewan for about ten years. In 2002, they honoured her with the Order of Saskatchewan and in 2007, they named the archives, “The Verna Redhead Room�. Thanks to the staff at Ironwood Place, New Horizons and the Campbell River Hospital who cared for Verna with respect and affection. The family will take her cremated remains to Saskatchewan in the near future and bury her in St. Paul’s Lindsay Cemetery south of Prince Albert, where many of her ancestors are also buried.

Eleanor Quinton June 23, 2015
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, grandmother, sister, and most dedicated wife Eleanor Quinton. Eleanor went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on June 23, 2015. As a family we are sorrowful yet rejoicing in her life of 75 years where she was a very dedicated servant of God. She never missed a minute or ceased in her desire to reach others for Christ. Eleanor worked in her early years as a teacher and librarian, in the later years served along side her husband Ron as he entered into Pastoral ministry in Campbell River. Their whole lives they have laboured hard together to love people and to share the good news of Jesus Christ. Eleanor was predeceased by her parents Carl and Pat Rodman, her first son Phillip Quinton, and her brother Jim Rodman. She is survived by her husband Ron Quinton, her sisters Lois Venn, Janet Rodman and sister-in-law Shirl Rodman. Eleanor will be deeply missed by her children Shawn (and Kerry) Quinton and Heather (and Will) Chambers. Her four grandchildren were dearest to her heart, Phillip and Sierra Quinton (Axel/ Brielle), and Samara and Rachel Chambers (Yoda/ Cola) will be missing their grandma for years to come; like her own children she never missed an opportunity to attend a school event or exciting time for her grandchildren to share with her their skills and hobbies. There will be a memorial service to celebrate the life of Eleanor Quinton, July 11, 2015 at 2pm at Discovery Community Church, Campbell River; Pastor Larry Martin officiating. A light meal and fellowship will follow the service. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to “ Campfire Ministries- Camp Bob. 7898 N Island Highway, Black Creek, BC. V9J 1G8.� Camp Bob is a ministry based camp that reaches kids for Christ and in which Eleanor was very fond of (especially when her son Shawn was assisting in directing the program there for many years). Pray for our family as we continue to heal from this sudden and great loss to our family, our strength will come from the Lord and is well documented in Psalm 46!!! “God is our refuge and our strength.�
“How Fortunate we are that in our hearts we keep forever the memories of those we love...and the time we shared together.� We gratefully acknowledge gifts in loving memory of

Bob passed quickly and peacefully surrounded by the family he loved so dearly. He is survived by his wife Jackie, five children, six grandchildren, sister Val in the UK, many nieces and nephews and several lifelong friends; both here and abroad. Dad spent his 85 years creating; both with his hands and with his mind. He had a great love of woodworking; beginning with model boats and furniture, rocking chairs, carvings, inlays and culminating with a rowboat, a canoe and several cedar strip kayaks Along the way he built three houses, became a master at stained glass, dabbled in petit-point, made some fishing lures, built many tiffany lamps with brass torch bases and later in life self published a book of poetry and one of short stories telling tales of a life lived And then there was gardening. Dad had a beauty on Quadra Island, in part helped (actually, more aided and abetted) by his sister Val who would 'mule' seeds of various and sundry plants from home. Dad emigrated from the UK in 1956 with our mum Aileen and right from the beginning was mesmerized by the possibilities and opportunities of Canada's west coast. He lived his life all over the BC coast, from Victoria to Kyuquot to Port Simpson, Quadra Island and most recently Campbell River. His legacy is one of creativity and friendship. He was a good man with a big heart that touched many, many people. A celebration of Dad's life will be held at Jackie's home at 507 Grayson Rd, Campbell River on Saturday August 8th from 11- 2pm The whole family will be there and would enjoy hearing your best Bob memories over a cup of tea and a biscuit (or gummy bears, werthers, scotch mints etc etc etc..........) Rest in peace Dad (ps. a very special thanks to the compassionate women and men at both the Aberdeen and Broadmead Lodges; there will always be a special place in our hearts for you folks)

Canada Post to begin installing hundreds of community mailboxes KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Community mailboxes, which will replace door-to-door delivery in Campbell River, will be going up within the next couple of months. Canada Post told city council in an email July 6 that residents will soon receive a letter notifying them about their new boxes. “Customers should very soon start seeing the installation of their community mailbox that will serve their household,” wrote Gilles Chagnon, manager of municipal engagement for Canada Post, in the email. He said that mail keys will also soon be on the way. “In addition, clients

the corporation’s plan to completely phase out door-to-door delivery across the entire country. Chagnon told city council in March that home delivery is no longer financially sustainable. He said Canadians mailed 1.2 billion fewer pieces of mail in 2013 than they did in 2006 and Canada Post delivered 214 million fewer pieces of regular mail last year than in 2013. The corporation lost $125 million in 2013 but made a profit of $194 million in 2014. The corporation credits last year’s financial success to an increase in parcels shipped, higher stamp prices and reduced employee benefit costs.

Vancouver Island Regional Library cuts back hours at its Campbell River branch Increases operating hours at rural branches
KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Vancouver Island Regional Library is scaling back operating hours at its Campbell River branch. Effective July 1, hours of operation at the library are reduced to 54 hours a week from 57. The change only
affects Fridays when the library will close at 5 p.m. instead of 8 p.m. The 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. schedule will remain in tact Monday to Thursday and hours of operation on Saturdays will stay at 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. On Fridays, the library will open at 10 a.m. Rosemary Bonanno, exe c ut ive dire c tor of Vancouver Island
Regional Librar y (VIRL), said the cut backs will help the organization meet its budget commitments and remain cost neutral. While the Campbell River library is seeing a slight cut back in hours, rural area libraries – including the Cortes Island, Sayward and Tahsis branches – will be open longer and

A lot of people have trouble catching Does Everybody what people say, especially in group This improvementconnect in hearing can chchan venture/ hearing situations, despite having good be achieved for some clients through hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out.
A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis. Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then quiet sounds are no longer naturally

The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background.
Hair cells in the ear move very rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises.

Connect Hearing is currently looking to improve hearing for people who experience these challenges and want to try this new technology. We are particularly interested in candidates who have trouble hearing speech in the situations discussed above and can benefit from a demonstration to see whether they notice an improvement.

Habitat head embraces new role

MIKE DAVIES
CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
It was a long road to our region for the newest member of the Habitat for Humanity Vancouver Island North team, but he’s settling in nicely. Hailing from Antigonish, N.S., by way of Edmonton, Ottawa, Halifax, Vancouver, and everywhere in between, Pat McKenna is two months in with Habitat, “and it’s been fun so far. I’m really enjoying myself,” he says. After spending most of his working life in retail, managing both Home Depot and Target stores all across Canada, McKenna has moved on to a more community-building, socioeconomicimprovement position, and he couldn’t be happier about it. “I think when I got to (the area) I realized that giving back to the community was really important to me,” he says. “When I lived in some of the bigger cities I’ve been to, I didn’t really feel as much a part of the community I was in. When I got here I realized it was more like the community I grew up in.” He quickly became a Rotarian, got involved with the local theatre community – he’s currently the president of Rainbow Youth Theatre in the Comox Valley – and joined numerous boards and volunteer organizations, trying to do his part to make the community as good as it could be using the skills he has. One of those skills, practiced for years in retail megastores, is managing groups of peo-
ple all needing to perform different tasks for a larger collective purpose, which will come in handy in his new role. One of the challenges for McKenna, however, is moving from managing paid employees to managing volunteers. “It’s a whole different animal. You can’t exactly give a volunteer a raise,” he says with a smile, “but in some ways, that’s better, because they are motivated by something else. Everyone who volunteers for anything, not just with us, is obviously passionate about whatever it is they’re doing.” In Campbell River, Habitat North Island just completed its build on Hilchey Road and immediately began planning the next one – on land donated by the City at the corner of Westgate and Dalton Roads in Willow Point. Habitat will begin looking for applicants for the new build — a triplex — once the selection committee has been

formed this fall. So what’s the end game for McKenna? What is it that he thinks he can accomplish with Habitat for Humanity Vancouver Island North? “I have a personal mission (for my role with Habitat), but it’s not clearly defined,” He laughs. “The first thing we need to do is ramp up capacity. We have a glo-
rious opportunity here, with the Campbell River ReStore being very well attended and very well supported by the community. That gives us the equity to build the houses. Now we need the actual ability to build those houses.” Traditionally, he says, they build almost exclusively using volunteers. He envisions a model where the same number

of volunteer hours will be used, but with the addition of some trained tradespeople. The other main hurdle to clear is land acquisition, because the biggest barrier to being able to build isn’t the “how,” but the “where.” “The City of Campbell River has been great,” he said. “There’s land available here, and the City recognizes the tremendous benefit Habitat brings to the community and they want to support us however they can,” he said. Overall, though, McKenna says that rather than having end goals, it’s better to look to constantly improve at what you’re doing. Because that’s all anyone should ask of themselves, and that’s when you’ll see results.

Laudato Si: Pope Francis’s Encyclical Letter

one of the many dignitaries invited to the press conference following the release was Naomi Klein, author of This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. Climate. Klein was struck by the symbolism of her invitation. The encyclical, she said, is part of “a huge shift in the level of engagement in the [climate change] issue. Indeed, the encyclical is subtitled, On Care For Our Common Home. Remove the encyclical from the context of the Catholic Church, delete some of the Christian terminology, and it

In an assessment burdened and laid of humanity’s current waste, is among the conduct, Francis writes, most abandoned and “We have come to see maltreated of our poor;
she ‘groans in travail.’” The encyclical refers to these “wicked problems” as “a tragic consequence” of unchecked human activity. “Due to an ill-considered exploitation of nature, humanity runs the risk of destroying it and becoming in turn a victim of this degradation.” It proposes “eliminating the structural causes of the dysfunctions of the world economy and correcting models of growth which have proved incapable of ensuring respect for the environment.” It then observes, with the holistic vision of a poet, “that the world
OF GREEN Ray Grigg
he Encyclical Letter from Pope Francis, entitled Laudato Si, was released at noon on June 18, 2015, to Catholics around the world and “to every person who inhabits this planet.” Translated as “Praised Be,” it is a clear reference to a canticle written in honour of “Mother Earth” by the Pope’s 13th century namesake, Saint Francis of Assisi. The state of the planet’s environmental health is a prime concern of the encyclical, in which socio-economic justice is linked directly to ecological abuse. To emphasize the point,

cannot be analyzed by isolating only one of its aspects, since the book of nature is one and indivisible.” Much of the encyclical’s inspiration, conviction, imagery and power draws from Saint Francis, whose “response to the world around him was so much more than intellectual appreciation or economic calculus, for to him each and every creature was a sister united to him by bonds of affection.” We desperately need to cultivate these “bonds of affection” if we are to survive within the miracle of this remarkably living, beautiful
and sacred planet. Pope Francis’s encyclical is a plea for this affection, for a caring and loving relationship with each other, and with our only “home” in “creation,” As a document, the encyclical is comprehensive, commanding, credible, insightful, honest, frank, compassionate and eloquent, but also moral, ethical, poetic and spiritual — a masterpiece arriving as it is sorely needed. It is the church at its best, revealing that its deepest aspirations for a just, safe and healthy world are those of all humanity.

The public gets its first look at the John Hart Generating Station project construction site with a community event this Sunday, and major progress has also been made out of sight. B C Hydro has announced details of the first public tour of the worksite, which will be accessible only via a bus shuttle running from Shopper’s Row, with pickup and drop-off directly in front of Spirit
Square. The site event is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., with buses running every 10 minutes or so beginning at 9:30 a.m. Appropriate attire, especially footwear, is strongly recommended due to the uneven surface at the worksite. Displays and activities at the interpretive centre will include bucket rides in a BC Hydro line truck, a Museum at Campbell River puppet show and crafts, booths for BC Parks, City of Campbell River, Rotary Club, BC

MANAGING YOUR MONEY Pay tax installments 4x10or bear the cost Treena Parker
For the 2015 taxation year, the CRA will base your first two installments on your 2013 tax liability with the final two being adjusted so the total of the four installments equals your 2014 tax liability. This calculation method can result in an overpayment of tax if, for example, your income has decreased over the past two taxation years. If you overpay, you will earn installment credit interest that is not refundable and can be used only against interest payment charges on late payments for the same tax year. (Check with your advisor or accountant before making a payment to see if your installments should be reduced.)

Investors Group•
B.Ed.
Consultant
You may have received a reminder notice from the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) indicating that you should make a quarterly tax installment. It is important to make these payments on time because ignoring the notice may be costly. You may have to make tax installments if you received or earned any income that is not subject to withholding at source, such as business or investment income and/ or if you received or earned income with a low rate of withholding at source, such as pension income and your net tax owing is greater than $3,000 in 2015 and either 2014 or 2013 The CRA determines if you must pay installments based on your tax returns from prior years and will send you a reminder notice to make these payments – in February for the March and June payments and in August for the September and December payments. If you receive a reminder notice but you do not comply you may be subject to interest and penalty charges.
If you do not make your payments on time or paid less than you had to pay, you will be charged instalment interest at the prescribed interest rate compounded daily (currently at 5% which is subject to quarterly adjustments) with the interest calculated on each installment payment beginning from the day it was due. You may also have to pay a penalty (if your installment interest charges for 2015 are more than $1,000). The amount of the penalty is determined by which of the
$1,000 or 25% of the instalment interest you would have to pay if you had not made installment payments.
To calculate the penalty, the CRA subtracts the higher amount from your actual installment interest charges for 2015 and divides the difference by two. The cost of not making your installment payments can be substantial – it may even make sense to borrow to pay the installments. But don’t rush into another unnecessary expense especially if you know your income is decreasing. Talk to your professional advisor about the best tax planning and investment decisions for you.

loose rock and material we’ve been dealing with,” said Stephen Watson, BC Hydro spokesman. “We’ve had really good, Class 1 rock we’ve been dealing with all along. So this is a bit of a challenge.” Limited blasting has resumed while engineers perform investigative drilling to determine the extent of the vein of
loose material and plot a course to shore up the tunnel in that area. “We’ll be dealing with some techniques in addressing that area in next weeks and month or so,” Watson said. “The good part, if anything, is this has to do with main access tunnel, not the powerhouse.

Birds of a feather herded together in tagging program J.R. RaRdon
CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
A
rare roundup was held last weekend in Campbell River, without a single cowboy — or even a cow — anywhere in sight. Instead, volunteers in kayaks and on shore herded several hundred Canada geese into a pen to be fitted with identifying neck bands, part of a larger effort to protect critical habitat in the Campbell River estuary. “A concern arose a couple of years ago among people from the city and from Environment Canada that the geese were causing a habitat issue in the estuary,” said Cynthia Bendickson of Greenways Land Trust, which coordinated the waterfowl rodeo. “A preliminary count showed about 1,300 geese there in 2012. That’s a small estuary and a large number of birds.” Those fears were confirmed this year when environmentalists checked exclosure pens placed in the estuary a year ago, and saw
substantial degradation among plants like sedge grass and eelgrass, favourites in the birds’ diet. “You look in the exclosure and the sedges are more than a metre tall,” said Bendickson. “Just outside, it’s like 10 centimetres.” The ultimate goal is to reduce the numbers of geese in the estuary, which have exploded since they were introduced to create hunting opportunities in the 1970’s and ‘80s. During that period there was even a breeding program for the birds on Vancouver Island. “There are people who say, ‘They’re part of the natural environment; leave them alone,’” Bendickson said. “But this is not natural. “We have survey data from an 18-month period in the mid-1980s that counted 31 geese in the estuary.” The options for thinning the flock include egg addling — shaking eggs in the nest to kill them and leaving them in place so the parents do not resume breeding — increasing the

hunting bag limit in the region; or a cull, which Bendickson said is the least likely solution. All of those solutions involve receiving approval from regulatory agencies, so last weekend’s banding, the first of its kind in the estuary, was taken as a step to provide data on the birds’ movement within the region. Greenways Land Trust wants to hear from anybody who spots one of the banded birds, whether it’s found in a
York Road farm field, a back yard off Oyster River or in local lakes. The bands are white and boast large, dark numbers that should be easy to read with the aid of binoculars. “If people could provide GPS coordinates, that would be awesome,” said Bendickson. “Or at least a general map location.” The timing of last weekend’s banding was not coincidental. The geese arrived at the estuary in a “molt”
migration, after which they temporarily lose their flight feathers. Volunteers with plastic fencing on shore teamed up with herders from Campbell River Kayak Club to swim and march the geese to a waiting pen. There, they were secured, given a metal leg tag and the larger, plastic neck band by qualified bird banders from the Guardians of Mid-Island Estuaries Society in Parksville. “Of course, the band-
ers have done lots of banding, including
big birds like Canada goose,” said Tim Innes, BC Regional Director for the Nature Conservancy of Canada. “But rounding them up into a pen by kayak was a novelty, for sure. No one could quite believe how flawlessly the plan was executed.” The project also involved Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the Campbell River Fish and Wildlife Club, the Pacific Salmon Foundation, the Campbell River Environmental Committee and Environment Canada. To report a sighting of a banded goose, contact Greenways Land Trust at 250-287-3785 or greenways@greenway-

Tsunami debris tracking mystery solved

A “citizen scientist” and one intrepid television newsman are sharing much of the credit this week after a tsunami debris tracking transponder was recovered in Campbell River following a three-and-ahalf-year odyssey across the Pacific Ocean. A Campbell River man, who wishes to remain anonymous, located the transponder high on a beach while hiking the northwest coast of Vancouver Island on June 22. He tossed it into his truck with other items he collects while beachcombing and returned it to his home, where the

device continued to send signals every 90 seconds to researchers tracking the unit. “It baffled everybody,” said Dr. Samuel Chan of

helicopter or airplane, but it was a man on foot with a truck.” The transponder was one of 12 placed into the Pacific in January 2012 by researchers at Japan’s Tottori University for Environmental Studies. The transponders, resembling two-litre drink bottles, are meant to track the path of debris from the 2011 tsunami in Japan, as well as to measure ocean temperature and provide researchers information on invasive marine species attaching to debris.
PROCESS
After being contacted by Chan, Ministry of Environment officials issued a press release about the transponder’s mysterious and sudden trip from the west coast to a location in Campbell River. The unit’s signal pinpointed the device within a 500-metre radius of the intersection of Park and Ebert roads. Gord Kurbis, a CTV news reporter based in Courtenay, actually went door-to-door in the neighbourhood June 25 in an effort to speak with residents and, hopefully, locate the transponder. He spoke to a woman in one side of a duplex. The resident of the other unit was not at home, but Kurbis thought the property looked promising. “He seemed to have a collection of nautical stuff,” Kurbis said. “I thought, this looks like a bit of a beachcomer; this is a pretty good bet.” Over the next several days, the scavenger hunt drew in both government and agency officials and the general public as area media

continued to share the case. Helicopter and airline companies were contacted to determine if any of them had flown into or out of the region where the transponder was collected. Kurbis returned to the neighbourhood on July 1 for a follow-up story, and again found nobody home at the duplex unit. But the next door neighbour emerged to ask if he was still looking for the missing object, and told Kurbis she thought her neighbour had it. Kurbis finally contacted the man, who was unwilling to appear on camera but who shared his story and turned the transponder over to the reporter. “The individual who found it is remarkable; we call him a citizen scientist,” Chan told Kurbis. “He’s always been curious about marine debris and what’s in the ocean.” The man, who has something of a hobby of collecting beach debris, found the transponder while hiking north of Port Alice. “If I didn’t see the antenna, I would have thought it was a discarded pop bottle,” the man told Kurbis in an audio interview. The device remained in his truck for a couple of days and on his porch for a couple more before he became curious about the antenna and about a note inside the bottle, which he couldn’t read because of scuffing on the outer casing. Taking the transponder to his basement, the man opened the bottle to get at the note, which listed a phone number in Japan.

His calls to the number went unanswered, possibly because the time difference meant he was calling in the middle of the night in Japan. Meanwhile, Chan and his colleagues at Tottori University had been left in the dark as the signal from the device abruptly went silent. “When he opened it up he unplugged the battery, so it stopped broadcasting to us after June 26,” said Chan, who said researchers continued to focus on the last known location of the signal — even though that was no assurance of T-8’s actual position. “A unit can be signalling us, but we don’t know if there’s an error in the signal,” said Chan. “Knowing now the signal was coming from very close to his house, we can trust it accurately tells us the whole 10,000-kilometre journey.” That journey includes a lengthy stay around the islands of Japan, a pass near Midway Island, and a trip down the Washington coast before drifting north to Vancouver Island. “Believe it or not, this hasn’t been done before,” Chan said. “Well, I’m sure the military has done it, but not with our budget. To continue sending a signal every 90 seconds for three and a half years, over 10,000 kilometres, is remarkable.” In a phone interview with T-8’s discoverer, Chan determined the unit had collected mineral deposits and a number of gooseneck barnacles. “That’s not an invasive

concern for us, because that’s a species found on both sides of the ocean,” he said. Despite the activity in his neighbourhood and the news reports, the man did not realize he possessed the object of the search because he had left town for several days to work. “It seems like there’s a big mystery, but I didn’t
even know,” he said. “My neighbour did come to me and said there were newspeople that came around looking for some tsunami thing, and I clued in that was probably it. “When I got back to town and saw the article in the paper I realized it had expanded to something more than debris on the beach.” Now Kurbis, who initially started out trying
to get a story, continues his role as participant by working with Chan to try to ship the transponder internationally. “What’s heartening is the fact that so many residents and agency officials came together to help us,” said Chan. “When the press release came out, the media really became scientists with us. Gord Kurbis was remarkable; he was so determined.
“I never would have expected the media to help us find and recover this.” Asked if he and other researchers were planning a more proactive approach to recovering the other transponders still signalling, Chan gave a qualified response. “As soon as they get closer to shore, we will,” he said. “Finding a bottle in the ocean is hard, even if it is giving a signal.”

Funeral industry adapts to increasing demand for cremation able again – their first wall on the side of the building has been full for a while now – Campbell River has the most services available on site at its cemetery of any facility on Vancouver Island. Whether someone is interested in burial of a body or an urn, scattering or having an aboveground resting place for a loved one’s ashes, there is a place for that at Elk Falls Memorial Cemetery. Those options are available on the same site as a 2,500 square-foot building containing both a crematorium and gathering place for memorial services, celebrations of life or receptions, which is a unique situation on the Island. “Between what the city offers and what we offer, there isn’t any other cemetery on Vancouver Island that offers all those things in one place,” he said.
Mike Davies CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Campbell River’s cemetery services are about to be officially expanded. Island Funeral Services, who leases a section of the Elk Falls Memorial Cemeter y from the City of Campbell River, invites the public to join them at the unveiling of the new niche wall, water feature and reflection area at the facility tomorrow from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. “We’ve tried to make it as consistent with the natural surroundings as we could,” says Kent Roduck, owner/operator of IFS. “We left some of the trees in to try and make it a little more natural,” he said, and added a water feature that’s less of a fountain and more of a bubbling dream through rocks. Roduck says now that they have niches avail-
During the latest addition, Roduck says, they were also being proactive in giving themselves room to continue that expansion. There are currently three benches surrounding the first niche wall – which holds 100 urns – but they are set on the future locations of three more niche walls. That way, the anchoring infrastructure is already in place when the first wall fills and they can easily add more niches without having to disturb the site with excavation and concrete pouring, etc. Roduck says the additional niche walls are a sign that cemeteries are changing with the times. “I think it’s kind of a comment that cemeteries are realizing that, first of all, the cremation rate is so high in British Columbia, and extremely high on Vancouver Island. There are

months that the cremation rate in Campbell River is 100 per cent. It averages out at about 90 per cent,” he said, so only 10 per cent of those looking for services are looking for a burial. Though the niches in the new wall have been for sale for a while – the
first urn was placed in the wall this past spring – Roduck and the City wanted to wait a while before unveiling the new features at a celebration. Like any “Grand Opening,” they wanted to be sure conditions were as ideal as they could be before inviting the public

Popular trail getting long overdue bridge replacement Mike Davies CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Mike Davies/CaMpbell RiveR MiRRoR
A helicopter removes a piece of the longdefunct steel bridge removed from the Quinsam River last week.
This past January, Chris Barner and a friend of his were hiking the Quinsam Trail and came across, not for the first time, the collapsed metal bridge that used to cross the river, but had long ago been washed out by the very water it was meant to span. “It’s been like that somewhere between five and 10 years, and getting worse all the time,” Barner said, as he watched the helicopter fly another chunk of the bridge into the drop zone at the Quinsam River Hatchery last week. So they decided it was
about time for something to be done about it. Phase one, they decided, was getting that old steel bridge out of the river. “You can learn a ton about the salmon cycle here, it’s a sensitive ecosystem, and it’s a really popular trail, so we just felt it was an important project to get under way. Most of us (who are involved in the project) have been here a long time and watched the thing deteriorate, so we thought it would be a good idea to get in there and do something about it.” The first thing to do was to get the old bridge out of the river and start the habitat mitigation
work, Barner said, before they can start too think about installing a new bridge – which will be part of phase two. “ T h e c o m mu n i t y has really been coming together and donating time and expertise,” Barner said. Just the removal of the old bridge involved both bringing in a metal recycler to come chop the bridge into pieces and then the helicopter to haul it out of the habitat. Without community involvement and volunteers recognizing the project’s value, Barner said, it likely wouldn’t be a financially feasible undertaking. “The value of this proj-
ect is really high,” he said. “Just hiring a chopper is going to cost you $1,500 an hour plus fuel,” so the job would cost “several thousands of dollars,” if not for the community support. “I think we’ve spent about $50 so far, which is just amazing.” One of the most difficult and time-consuming aspects of projects like this can be the permits required to do this type of work, which is another area the community involvement has been of help. “Permitting is often the biggest challenge,” Barner said. “I mean, building a bridge is no problem for a carpenter,
and flying a helicopter is no problem for a helicopter pilot, but getting these permits is difficult for everybody.” Thankfully, Barner said, they’ve had a lot of support from the forestry service, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, from the Quinsam River Hatcher y, and have received timely permissions for the project so it could move forward. “The ‘all of us is smarter than any of us’ approach has really served us well on this job,” Barner said. “One thing I’ve noticed about Campbell River is that when people need to come together to get something done, there’s always support from the
community. People are always stepping up to the plate.” Anyone who would like to get involved in phase two of the project – repairing the trails and getting the new river crossing built and installed – is welcome to contact the Haig Brown Institute by emailing info@haigbrowninstitute.org or Dave Brown at dogfishbay@gmail. com. They are particularly interested in hearing from people who have experience trail building and carpenters interested in donating time to to building the new bridge, but anyone who thinks they be of service is welcome.
