Harper calls an early election

Love is in the air – way up in the air

The first-ever marriage proposal on Elk Falls Suspension Bridge occurred on Sunday. Cam Frenette (front left) enlisted some friends and family to help him pop the question to Brooke Gobillot on the bridge. Frenette and Gobillot have been dating for almost eight years and are high school sweethearts, both having graduated from Timberline. NadiNe Hoyt/Special to tHe Mirror

Forest board critical of Sonora Island logging

By Tom FleTcher Black Press

Conservative leader Stephen Harper promised an expanded tax break for hiring apprentices Monday, as parties started an extended summer election campaign. Campaigning in Laval, Quebec, Harper announced that if his government is reelected Oct. 19, employers will receive a credit up to $2,500 a year for wages paid to qualifying apprentices for all four years of their training. Harper’s Conservatives established the program in 2006, with a credit of up to $2,000 per year for the first two years, to encourage hiring and training. NDP leader Thomas Mulcair began his campaign emphasizing signs of weakness in the Canadian economy, with the latest statistics showing the economy contracting in the first five months of the year.

A complaint by residents on Sonora Island has led to the Forest Practice Board recommending both TimberWest Forest Corp. and the provincial government review logging practices under an ecosystem-based management (EBM) plan for old-growth forests along the B.C. coast. In a report issued in July, the board said TimberWest violated the spirit of the EMB Continued on Pg. 8

North Island - Powell River candidates ready to go

Rachel Blaney – NDP

Election: Leaders stake their positions From Pg. 1

“Wages are falling, incomes are stagnant, and household debt is skyrocketing,” Mulcair said at his campaign kickoff in Hull, Quebec. “Middle-class families are working harder than ever, and can’t get ahead.” Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has also focused his campaign on middle-class voters, with a central policy of

reducing tax on middle income and increasing it for the top one per cent of income earners. Green Party leader Elizabeth May began the campaign in her home riding of Saanich-Gulf Islands. Her economic platform also calls for tax increases for the highest income earners, as well as increasing corporate income tax rates to 2008 levels.

The early election call increases spending limits for parties and caps it for third-party advertisers such as labour unions that have been targeting Harper. It also leaves some ridings without nominated candidates. Another change is in debate formats, as first Harper and then Mulcair declined the traditional debate organized by

THE 2016 ELANTRA SE

When Prime Minister Stephen Harper dropped the federal election writ Sunday, chapters of the Council of Canadians – including Campbell River’s – had already begun a nation-wide effort to encourage as many voters as possible to get out there to vote this time. In Campbell River, the local chapter had already begun a drive to promote a public all-candidates meeting, now slated for 6:30 p.m., Sept. 30 at the Baptist Church hall on 260 S. Dogwood Street to which all declared North Island candidates are invited. “This election is far too important to Canada and the democratic process for any voters not to take part and cast their ballot for whichever party they wish,” said Rich Hagensen, chairperson for the Campbell River CoC chapter this week. Hagensen emphasized that, especially in this instance, the Canadian West, and particularly British Columbians, could play a vital role in the outcome of the election.

An insolvency receiver acting for the former owners of the barge even attempted to sell the vessel to the Ehattesaht for $10. The current ownership of the barge remains something of a mystery. The Ministry of Forests claimed in a March memo to Ehattesaht Chief Rose-ann Michael that the barge is registered to a Vancouver Island doctor. The ministry’s District Resources Manager Romona Blackwell also stated: “Until the issue of the abandoned vessel is resolved under federal legislation the province has no jurisdiction or authority in the matter.” Chief Michael said: “It’s very frustrating for the (Zeballos) communities that no individual or government agency has taken action on this matter.” Glover says: “If there is a threat of pollution from the vessel, the Canadian Coast Guard

Once the pollution aspect is dealt with, Transport Canada would investigate whether or not the vessel is an obstruction to navigation. “Transport Canada’s position is that the vessel owner remains solely responsible for the disposal and storage of his or her vessel,” the Transport Canada spokesperson added.

Our View

Early election call raises questions While you are reading the newspaper this morning, it’s likely that federal politicians have already hit the hustings. Prime Minister Stephen Harper dissolved Parliament on Sunday, triggering an election although Canadians won’t head to the polls until the fixed date of Oct. 19. Now this is somewhat surprising given that the mandatory minimum length for a campaign is 37 days, and most elections in recent history have been fairly close to that target. In fact, you have to go all the way back to 1926 for a 74-day election campaign. The question then is why is Harper pulling the plug now, particularly when Canadians are enjoying their summer holidays and We say: Like why backyard barbecues and interested in what is Harper pulling aren’t happens in Ottawa? The answer isn’t particthe plug on ularly clear but obviously parliament now? Harper and his strategists believe that calling the writ now gives the governing party a solid advantage over the opposition parties, and that could certainly be the case after MPs handed out millions of dollars in grants to various community groups in the past few weeks. But there is also a danger in launching the campaign early, and that is escalating voter fatigue. Increasingly, Canadians are tired of what appears to be the new normal in politics — attack, attack, attack, with very few concrete solutions to major issues coming to the table. After 78 days of negative ads from all parties and photo-ops, the public may be completely worn out from the exercise. What will that do to voter turnout? – Black Press

The expression “my heart skipped a beat” used to seem like a meaningless cliche. That was before I was tossed from an airplane at 10,500 feet. This is an occupational hazard of getting within arm’s reach of Roy Wharton, coowner of Pacific Airsports Skydiving. When asked for an interview as part of a story on skydiving, Wharton — whose stated goal is to get everyone to jump out of an airplane at least once — opined that the story would be more authentic if its author actually made the leap. Uh, OK. It’s never been my thing, but the field of participatory journalism has a rich tradition. My closest brush with the genre came when I was sports editor of a university newspaper in Portland, Ore. A young guy writing in the arts and entertainment pages wanted to pen a series of columns based on his participation in intramural sports clubs. He had no background — or interest — in competing in any kind of sport, and in fact quickly sought out some of the most “fringe” clubs, like table tennis and water polo, to try his hand at.

Re: Tom Fletcher’s (BC Views, Nestlé protest doesn’t hold water). Mr. Fletcher pulls no punches, calling the SumOfUs/WaterWealth petition nonsense in the opening paragraph of his piece. Fortunately none of Fletcher’s punches land, being aimed at places the petition never stood. As a representative of WaterWealth, I sincerely apologize to Mr. Fletcher if he took the words “suck B.C. dry” literally and mistook the opening comment for the whole conversation. We had not anticipated that, and feedback we have received indicates that the public went well beyond that opening comment to understand the broader issues that the petition was about — primary among them being to ensure that the Water Sustainability Act is sufficiently funded to be fully implemented. The review of rental rates under the Act, that the petition sought and that the province promised even before the petition was delivered, is but one more step in the ongoing work to ensure that the public’s voice is heard in development of strong regulations for the Water Sustainability Act, the first major update of BC water law in over a century.

I took in the panoramic view or watched for that Band-aid to grow bigger. Instead, I was presented with a rolling tumult of blue sky, green island and blue water, not necessarily in that order. This was explained only later, when Gurney’s video playback showed Warden had treated me to a full forward somersault, followed by a backflip. Thanks, Jeff! After that, hurtling toward the earth at 175 feet a second while holding a plain, horizontal orientation was surprisingly reassuring. I believe that was when my heart resumed its cadence. The roar of the wind immediately went silent, and I had two or three minutes to enjoy the surroundings — and a couple of hard spins, courtesy of Warden, before we slid to earth in the field adjacent to the Pacific Airsports hangar. Between the backslapping, thumbs-up and genuine concern for my thoughts and feelings on the experience, I got the distinct impression that Warden, Gurney and even Wharton had as much fun as I did. And would I do it again? In a heartbeat.

Logging: Sonora residents lodge complaint with board

From Pg. 1

by removing old trees from an area of mixed old-growth forest and at-risk plant species. While noting TimberWest did follow legal requirements of land use orders, the Forest Practice Board report recommended the company provide information on its future EBM management approach. The board also recommended the provincial government clarify its definitions for old forest and for red- and bluelisted plant communities. TimberWest has postponed harvesting in the Sonora cutblocks since early 2013 and has taken steps to develop

an approach more consistent with the spirit and intent of EBM. But, the board noted, “All the details of this new approach are not clear.” EBM is a forest mana g e m e nt ap p r o a c h intended to maintain ecosystem integrity while providing for societal needs in the area known as the Great Bear Rainforest, which includes Sonora Island at its southern tip. The legal basis for EBM is codified in the South Central Coast Order (SCCO), enacted by the government in 2007. It s ets minimum guidelines for preserving or establishing old forest (trees at least 250 years

old) and at-risk plants, including an old-forest target of between 24 and 30 per cent of forests for the landscape encompassing Sonora Island. Where forests are already below that threshold of old trees, licensees operating within the ecosystem must meet the target within 250 years. However, the board believes the SCCO’s background and intent do cument provides little guidance on how to achieve those targets, other than stating, “recruitment of oldest possible age classes first will allow for old forest representation targets to be achieved in the shortest time possible.”

In early 2013, residents of Sonora Island contacted the Forest Practices Board, concerned that TimberWest might be violating the SCCO in its operations in several cutblocks on the island. Staff from the board attended a field inspection along with island residents, TimberWest representatives, staff from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations and others. “When the islanders first brought their complaint forward, all the parties met,” said Tim Ryan, chair of the Forest Practices Board. “We determined a good dialogue between the residents and TimberWest had been established, and they agreed to solve their issues on their own.” But after making additional site visits in 2013 and 2014 and determining old trees were continuing to be cut, the residents, who are not named in the report,

made a formal complaint to the board in March, 2014. In researching for their submission, the residents counted and painted the stumps they determined to be 250 years of age or older in seven small areas within six harvested cutblocks. They summarized their data and included photos in reports for each of the seven areas, and even hired a professional forester and a professional biologist to assess the cutblocks. “The Sonora Islanders did spend some of their own funds to hire experts to give them an evaluation,” said Ryan. “They were diligent. They went about gathering facts that were representative of the situation and gave them to all parties in hope of getting a response and a change in prescription.” In follow-up field visits, the board determined many of the ecological units in the area have less old forest than the

board was unable to determine if the cutblock hosted a red-listed (at risk) or blue-listed (of concern) plant community prior to harvest. “ The board was unable to conclude if TimberWest’s activities were inconsistent with requirements in the SCCO for at-risk plant communities due to ambiguities in government’s definition of atrisk plant communities; the lack of further interpretive guidance; and the general challenges with identifying plant communities after they have been disturbed,” the report concluded.

targets set in the SCCO. Three of the cutblocks were not subject to the SCCO, while three others were found to be in compliance. But in one cutblock, where 53 old trees were determined to have been removed, the two consulting professionals found a 5.6-hectare area “consists of old forest as defined in the South Central Coast Order.” In its report, the Forest Practices Board noted “TimberWest told the board that it did not dispute this professional opinion nor does it agree or disagree with it.” The report stated the

Criminal record check fees may be on the rise

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 5, 5, 2015 2015 || CAMPBELL CAMPBELL RIVER RIVER MIRROR MIRROR || 9 9

www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com

KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

City council is considering changes that would increase the cost of criminal record checks and eliminate free checks for volunteers. City staff are recommending council up the fee for criminal record checks from the current $40 to $50 and charge a $25 fee for those who require criminal record checks for volunteer work. For people who live in Campbell River but

need a criminal record check for volunteer work outside of the city, the fee would go up to $50. Carrie Jacobs, the RCMP municipal manager, and Fern Peterson, police services clerk technician, wrote in a co-authored report to city council that the changes will help the service better pay for itself. “The recommended changes to fees and charges are required to establish an equitable approach to funding the staff resources required

to provide these services. Individuals or organizations who are requesting these services would be charged a fair rate rather than requiring the general public to bear the cost through taxation,” wrote Jacobs and Peterson. “The recommended rate adjustments for police support service fees and charges will generate sufficient revenue to self-fund the resources required to meet the demand of these services.” The introduction of a

fee for volunteer criminal record checks will speed up the process, according to Jacobs and Peterson. “It will resolve the backlog of processing, provide an expedited service to volunteers at a subsidized fee, and assist in funding additional staff time which is imperative to ensure processing time remains reasonable, in order to provide the best service possible.” The police department receives on average 12 paid and 22 volunteer criminal record

check applications each week and current staff resources allow for approximately two applications per day (10 per week) to be processed. “There are currently approximately 70 paid applications and 139 volunteer applications in various stages of processing for completion,” wrote Jacobs and Peterson. “There are approximately 115 applications currently waiting to be picked up by volunteer applicants of which 30 have had multiple calls

for pick up, which is a cost to the city.” In addition to criminal record checks, city staff are also recommending a $25 fee for fingerprinting as well as an increase from the current $50 fee to $75 (for the first hour) for information requiring research. Other increases being proposed are fees related to motor vehicle incidents and crime scenes which include: $35 for an accident scene report, $50 for a synopsis to ICBC, and $30 for a field diagram sketch.

City council, at its last committee of the whole meeting, couldn’t come to an agreement on whether or not to approve the recommended changes. A motion by Coun. Larry Samson to approve the changes but eliminate the $25 criminal record check fee for volunteers was defeated as was a motion by Mayor Andy Adams to charge a $10 fee. In the end, council agreed to take another look at the issue at its next committee of the whole meeting in late August.

and damaged the Oyster River Dike. The estimated cost to repair the dike was $45,500 but because the regional district has no service, or fund, set up to specifically address that type of emergency repair, the money was to instead come out of the regional district’s general administration fund. Dawn Christenson,

the regional district’s financial services manager, said in a report to the board that it has the option of establishing a reserve responsible for bearing the cost of restoring, removing or replacing any regional district assets damaged in a disaster or severe weather event. “If a damaged asset is not associated with a

specific regional district service, then by default the costs to reinstate it would fall to the regional district as a whole and be borne by the general administration service through such funds as they may be available,” Christenson said. “The board may establish reserves by bylaw and specify purpose, source of funding, or

other details regarding the reserve. Through its financial planning process, the board may choose to raise taxes to fund contributions to reserves, or to designate other sources of revenue as contributions to reserves.” A re a D D i re c t or Brenda Leigh said she was in full support of setting aside emergency

repair funding to ensure the regional district can take advantage of the province’s Disaster Financial Assistance program which provides 80 per cent of the repair costs if the regional district can put up 20 per cent. “This is a no-brainer to vote yes for – $15,000 attracts almost $56,000 in emergency funding

and this relates back mostly to the flooding in December when a lot of properties were damaged,” Leigh said. Area C Director and board chair Jim Abram took a different approach. “Whether this is a nobrainer or not, what we have before us is a report with some options; we’re not making a decision to do anything right now.”

Owner turns donates lot with salmon-bearing stream Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR

The Strathcona Regional District stands to add another park to its inventory after accepting a piece of land from a property owner on Mitlenatch Drive. The regional district board agreed at its July 23 meeting to accept the land gift once the owner has provided paperwork that the site is not contaminated and that costs to appraise the property and transfer it to the regional district will be borne by the land owner. The property is 0.5 acres in size and is sur-

rounded by residential homes. It’s located at the south end of Mitlenatch Drive just past Redonda Way in Area D, which is south of the city limits. The owner, who has a Calgary mailing address, wants to give the lot away as a gift to the regional district because a coho salmon-bearing stream, Midge Creek, running through the property makes it undevelopable. Ralda Hansen, the regional district’s community services manager, said the stream has been abused because the lot has sat empty for so long.

“The primary impacts on this fish habitat are yard waste and garbage dumping by local residents and coverage of the creek by six different alien invasive plant species,” Hansen said. “Removal of these plants, maintaining the removal, and prevention of further dumping will allow native vegetation to reestablish. These issues can be managed by the regional district through signage and inspections.” Cortes Director Noba Anderson was concerned that the regional district may be taking on more than the property is worth. “It seems we’re taking on a major undertaking in clean up and restoration from invasive species,” Anderson said. “It seems we’re taking on quite a hassle.” Are a D D i re c tor

Brenda Leigh said it’s a matter of environmental protection. “I had the same misgivings until I went out to see the site,” Leigh said. “From a stream enhancement perspective, it’s a valuable asset for us. There is a salmonbearing stream running through the centre of the property that makes it non-developable for the people giving it to us and it does have a lot of value if the regional district had control of that half-acre of land, to save and protect that stream there.” Pending official transfer of ownership, Hansen said the regional district intends to keep the property as green space and provide a habitat for birds, fish, animals and insects, as well as a meeting place for the neighbourhood.

the economy in its operating region, the Island Coastal Economic Trust (ICET) also believes it is important to invest in people. The organization is again providing registration bursaries for 20 people to attend the Vancouver Island Economic Summit this fall. ICET is also offering five bursaries of $1,000 each to support attendance at targeted economic development training courses, helping to defray costs of tuition, travel, and accommodation. “We’re committed to community participation in their own economic development, and that means providing the opportunity to learn from others and share best practices,” said ICET Chair Phil Kent. New this year, the Trust is looking to engage the younger movers and shakers in our region by earmarking 10 of those Vancouver Island Economic Summit bursaries for eligible applicants under age 40. Application deadline for the Vancouver Island Economic Summit bursary is Sept. 25. You can read more details about both bursary programs here: http://www.islandcoastaltrust.ca/bursaries. ICET is also offering a paid internship opportunity for a recent graduate.

Cadet masters mountain bike

Cadet Alexis Simpson of Campbell River eases into a curve while mountain biking in Kalamalka Lake Park near Ve r n o n C a d e t Training Centre as part of her six-week Expedition Instructor Course.

Cadet Alexis Sampson, 15, from Campbell River is having the summer of her life in Vernon on the Expedition Instructor Course. She is over half way through the six-week course and has been busy mountain biking, hiking, canoeing and enjoying the beauty of the Okanagan. She is also learning skills like leadership and planning, as well as how to teach younger cadets to use camp stoves and other expedition equipment. Sampson is a cadet

with 1726 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps in Comox, where she has the rank of Master Corporal. She makes the drive to Comox several times per week for training because she gets so much out of the Cadet Program. Some of her favourite experiences include shooting a .22 rifle during a familiarization visit with the Canadian Army. In the future, she hopes to attend summer training at Rocky Mountain in Banff, AB and next summer she is planning an exchange to Paris.

Sampson will start Grade 10 at Timberline Secondary this fall. When she finishes training this summer she will be eligible to attend national or international expeditions and to work as a staff cadet at the training centre. During the summer, more than 1,500 army, navy and air cadets from western Canada will have spent up to six weeks in the Okanagan Valley training centre, expanding the training they receive at their home corps, developing new skills and forming friendships.

The Cadet Program is a national program for young Canadians aged 12 to 18 who are interested in participating in a variety of fun, challenging and rewarding activities while learning about the sea, army and air activities of the Canadian Armed Forces. Cadets make valuable contributions to Canadian society on a daily basis in terms of environmental, citizenship and community activities. Cadets also learn valuable life and work skills such as teamwork, leadership and citizenship.

Lasota, Team Canada claim world title C a mp b e l l R i v e r ’s Selena Lasota scored a hat trick and was named player of the match as Team Canada stunned top-seeded USA 9-8 to win its first world title in the U19 Women’s World Lacrosse Championships last weekend in Edinburgh, Scotland. The U.S. had won the last four world championships, while Canada was playing in the goldmedal final for the first time. Following the tournament, Lasota was also named to the World U19 team, joining teammates Erica Evans and Lydia Sutton on the 12-member squad. L asota and Team Canada both saved their best for last in the final,

played early Saturday morning, PDT. The 2014 Carihi grad, who recently completed her first season of NCAA Division I play for the Northwestern Wildcats, scored the go-ahead goal with 19 seconds left in the first half as Team Canada rallied from a 3-1 deficit to take a 5-4 lead into the break. She closed out Canada’s scoring with her third goal, a key insurance score at 10:39 of the second half that gave the team a 9-7 lead. She also finished with two assists as the Canadians held off a late U.S. rally. Team Canada may have sent a message in the teams’ opening game of pool play nine days earlier, when it played

the U.S. to a 7-7 draw through one half. But the U.S. pulled away for a 15-9 win and rolled into the final with an unbeaten record. Meanwhile, Team Canada needed two overtimes to slip past Australia and three overtimes edge England on its way to a second-place finish in the pool. Beginning Tuesday, however, the Canadians morphed into a juggernaut. Back-to-back shutouts of Korea (20-0) and Scotland (18-0) earned Canada a semifinal rematch against Australia. There would be no repeat of the teams’ overtime nailbiter, though, as Canada dismantled the Aussies 17-4, knocking them from the gold-medal

final for the first time since Australia won the inaugural U19 women’s championship in 1995. To that point, Lasota had four goals and eight assists for the tournament. Her five-point showing in the goldmedal game was her best of the tourney. B oth Canada and Team USA finished with 7-1 records. Canada won seven straight after its opening loss to the U.S. The changing of the guard began in the bronze final, where England upset Australia 10-9. It was the first championships without a medal for the Aussies, who claimed four straight silvers after winning gold in the 1995 debut tournament.

win, solidifying his lead to over 550 points in the Hornet B division. Raymond Fortier found the winner’s square in the Hornet A main event, his second straight main event win. Sunday’s night action saw an even bigger field of Hornets, going from 31 Saturday to a season high 37. The track’s first two rollovers of the season took place Sunday; first Trevor Cannon in an action-packed Crash to Pass heat race, and then Kelvin Ramer in the Time Flys monster truck, putting it on its roof in front of a very enthusiastic crowd. After the dust settled, heat race wins Sunday went to Cam Edward, Hopp, Serina Hintz, Woolcock, Liam Inglis, Blair Mangles, and Guest. Once again in the Crash to Pass main,

Hopp would completely dominate the field, making his way to the lead on lap 3 and pulling away from there for his second main event win in as many nights. Guest also continue his winning ways in the 15 lap feature in the Roadrunner division, completing a clean sweep by winning all four weekend races. In the Hornet B class, Westra held on to take his second straight main event win. Another tight battle emerged in the Hornet A main, with Fortier again getting the upper hand and capping a weekend in which the same car won both main events in each class. Extra laps… This weekend brings back the Wilroc Lite Sprints cars for the third time this season. So far the track has drawn fields of 16 and 17 cars, with this weekend looking to be no different.

with wins going to Sheldon Hopp, GarrettAnn Rosner, Chris Hleck, Trey Woolcock, Nate Bonn, and Ryan Guest. In the Crash to Pass main event, Hopp continued to dominate the field, taking home his fourth main event win of the year. The Roadrunner main saw Guest return to the winner’s circle. Guest, who had won six straight main events to start the year, had his streak snapped on July 18 but would not be stopped en route to starting a new main winning streak. In the 25-lap Hornet B main event, a battle ensued between Rowland Westra and Trey Woolcock. The pair fought bumper-to-bumper through lap traffic, but Westra managed to hold off a hard-charging Woolcock to take home yet another main event
