First Nation’s chief found in breach of oath J.R. RARDON CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

We Wai Kai (Cape Mudge) First Nation Chief Ralph Dick has been found in breach of his

fiduciary duty after accepting a $12,000 share option from a business venture controlled by the band, an external investigation has found. The investigation, by Ratcliff

& Company LLP of North Vancouver, was requested by We Wai Kai Council after a review of computer files of former band accountant Maurice Magowan. The report was delivered anon-

ymously to the Mirror this week. We Wai Kai Administrator Brian Kelly said council is planning to call a general membership meeting to share the findings of the report, but had not done so

Conservative signs targeted by vandals J.R. RARDON CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

In what Conservative party campaign managers see as a troubling trend, campaign posters for their federal election candidates in mid- and north Island ridings have been defaced, destroyed or taken, while those of their federal election counterparts remain untouched. “I put up one of the signs at my house and they dumped it in Wood Creek,” said Jamie Wood of Campbell River, who organized a sign-placing drive for North IslandPowell River candidate Laura Smith along the Old Island Highway through Area D south of town. “I found out later it was happening in Nanaimo and all the way up the highway to Campbell River. Pretty well consistently the Conservatives’ signs are being slaughtered the whole way.” A volunteer answering the phones at the Nanimo headquarters of Conservative candidate Mark MacDonald confirmed Wood’s claim. “We’ve definitely had a large amount of signs defaced, spray-painted with profanities, broken or taken,” she said. “We’re finding crews are just burning up their time repairing, replacing and picking up signs that have been damaged.” Nob o dy has b een caught in the act, which can carry criminal penalties ranging from vandalism to mischief to theft. And members of the Conservative campaigns have offered varying theories as to who might be behind it. But they are agreed on one point. “The NDP and Green signs right next to ours at the intersections aren’t being touched,” said Glen McPherson, MacDonald’s Nanaimo campaign manager. “It’s hard to believe it’s weather-related. Or that it’s a coincidence.” In Campbell River, Wood allowed that one or two of the smaller

signs might have blown over in last weekend’s storm. But he said the damage began showing up almost immediately after Smith’s signs began going up a week earlier. Particularly targeted are the larger, heavier signs, which have been cut out of their sturdy two-byfour frames. “In some cases they took a knife and slashed them off,” said Wood. “We secure those on there with screws and washers; they’re not blowing away.” At the corner of South Island Highway and Jubilee Parkway, a support stands at the side of the road, with the screws still holding a strip of a Smith sign that was cut away. Just around the corner at the same intersection, a sign touting Liberal candidate Peter Schwarzhoff stands untouched. Wood believes dirt-bikers who commonly ride near the beach may have caused some of the trouble. He

said several of the smaller signs that were flattened at the side of the road bore a single tread mark running over them. “It’s criminal mischief and criminal theft if you take them and knock them down,” he said. “If it’s kids, they don’t want to mess up the rest of their life by getting a record for something like this.” Section 325 of the Canada Elections Act states that, “No person shall prevent or impair the transmission to the public of an election advertising message without

the consent of a person with authority to authorize its transmission.” McPherson promised there would be no retaliation against the other candidates’ signs, at least not from any volunteers

working from MacDonald’s office. “I’ve put out the word to all the volunteers in our campaign, ‘Please don’t touch anyone’s signs,” he said. “And they wouldn’t, because they’re nice people.” Wood said he’s seen this sort of activity in the past, and has noted that it usually flares up early in the campaign before settling down as the election draws closer. The federal election is scheduled for Oct. 19. “Hopefully nobody’s gonna take down the other guys’ signs,” he said. “Or any more of ours.”

with Kelly, who confirmed Magowan had been terminated in the summer of 2014, in part because of “his refusal to desist participating in the affairs of MPHLP.” The report says a We Wai Kai band member initially raised the potential conflict of interest. Following Magowan’s departure, We Wai Kai staff reviewed the hard drive of his computer and found a number of documents they considered questionable. Kelly confirmed neither the option agreement nor the resolution authorizing the $12,000 payment to the numbered company were brought before band council, and that band administration was unaware of either transaction before gaining access to the hard drive. In May, 2015 Rich interviewed Dick, who said he was unaware of the option until April 8, 2015, when he was provided a copy of the agreement by his son. He did acknowledge signing the resolution authorizing the $12,000 payment, and further acknowledged the payment was to come to him, an admission that

Kelly said the $12,000 has “been recovered” from the Chief, and “that’s not an issue.” The Chief could be sanctioned by the band, under its Election Code, through a petition signed by at least 60 members. But it is an unprecedented process for the Nation. “There’s a process in there,” Kelly said. “We’re finding out what that policy is, but it doesn’t say what happens if you make a mistake, what to do about it.” Chief Dick could not be reached for comment at press time. In his written investigation report, John R. Rich wrote that one of the transactions discovered in the computer records involved an option for a numbered company, whose directors were the Chief ’s wife and son, to purchase partnership agreements in the band-controlled Middle Point Harbour Limited Partnership. Another transaction was a payment of $12,000 to the same numbered company. “These transactions appeared inconsistent with the usual business practices of MPHLP, and were not previously known to the We Wai Kai administration or council,” the report stated. The $12,000 payment to the numbered company was then transferred to Chief Dick, who believed he was entitled to the $12,000 for services rendered to MPHLP. The We Wai Kai hold 51 per cent of the partnerships in the Middle Point Harbour Limited Partnership, with Pacific Rim Harbour Developments (Tommy and Derek Pallan)

owning the other 49 per cent. Chief Dick had been the We Wai Kai representative in the management of MPHLP when, in 2013, Magowan proposed there was an opportunity to acquire partnership units in MPHLP from Pacific Rim “that would lead to a profit.” The Chief declined on the grounds it would be a conflict of interest, but suggested to Cowan that his son, Robbie Dick, might be interested in the opportunity. Robbie and Lynne Dick, the Chief ’s wife, then formed a numbered company that entered into an option agreement to acquire partnership units in Pacific Rim. “At this point,” the report states, “the option has not been exercised and the numbered company has made no profits.” But in February 2014, Chief Dick — acting as representative of the We Wai Kai — signed a resolution of partnership to pay $12,000 each to Pacific Rim and to the numbered company of which the directors were his wife and son. Rich’s investigation included an interview

Much needed rain in order

Letters n Re: Mike’s Musings, August 28 Mike Davies hits the mark when he states “We, as a society, don’t put nearly enough effort into funding programs and services – and creating public policy…” His use of the Band-Aid analogy in describing the present approach is exactly right and is exactly the opposite of what is needed to solve the social problems that plague our society. In April, the Campbell River City Council voted to endorse the establishment of a Social Policy Framework for the province. Continued on Pg. 7

Robron field: benefit or blunder? The machines are tearing up the field, the new artificial turf is on order and soon Campbell River will have a centrally-located all-weather field for various organizations to book for use. It seems everyone in town falls into one of two camps on the whole affair. The first is that this endeavour is a waste of taxpayers’ money. The $2.27-million project is seen by many as taking funds away from other, more urgently-needed projects, and that many people will see no benefit from the project. The “Waste of Money” camp also cites the 2008 referendum – which shot down council’s plan to borrow $20 million for a variety of projects, one of which was the Robron field – as proof that the community doesn’t want this expense. The other camp is the “Hooray for infrastructure improvements and investment in our children’s future!” group. This group is the people who

It may appear that the winter rains are upon us. But, it’s not winter although it is almost the end of summer. All summer long we have been basking in the sunshine, heading to the campgrounds and onto the water. Along with this blissfully sunny summer there comes a huge price tag. The province has spent countless millions on fighting fires, many of them humancaused. Not to forget the human cost through the loss of homes and animals. It is heart-breaking to hear the losses suffered by so many because of the actions of a few. No matter how many times you tell people to butt out safely, they don’t. Perhaps now with the rains, the fires will die down and the firefighters will get some respite. The rains are something to be appreciated right now, and the sun will come out again give us a spectacular We say: Thankful and autumn. for the rain in the It is expected to be midst of drought rainy for the next while with some sun predicted. We are thankful for the rain, the trees and plants seem to be drinking in the moisture and the creeks and waterways are seeing some relief from the summer-long drought. And drought it has been. We hope this is not a sign of things to come, but some say it is. The last thing we want is to be in a position like California is now. We need to be mindful of our water usage whether it is raining or not. It seems we cannot count on the snow pack as we have in years past because this dry climate may become the norm rather than the rare. The wet coast isn’t so wet these days. The weekend before school begins is supposed to be sunny with temperatures in the 20s. It is usually a time when families go camping and traveling on the last long weekend of the summer. The campfire bans have been lifted in most areas, but caution is still required. Let’s enjoy these days whether it is raining or not, because both sun and rain are needed. Be careful on the highways and bring everyone back safe. -Black Press

of the main pillars of his platform during the most recent municipal election. Coun. Larry Samson’s reelection platform was almost entirely advocating for more family-friendly activities and facilities, by my recollection. Coun. Michele Babchuk pledged her support for the project if elected and won a seat on council in her first attempt – with the second most votes of any candidate for council. Don’t we want our elected officials to do the things they say there were going to do when they asked us to vote for them? I certainly do. If we don’t like the decisions they make on how to spend our money, we tell them that by voting them out next time we get the chance. For now I’ll wait and see how the new field works out before I rail against its installation, because the people we elected to govern us said it was something they were going to do before we did so.

Canadian values could be distant memory I’ll be 75-years-old this Christmas, and as long as I can remember, Canadians have been respected around the world. I recall an air force friend of mine who was stationed in France some years ago, telling me how the Americans used to put little Canadian flags on their backpacks, because the Europeans held Canadians in such high esteem. We have a history of trustworthiness and fair play, something we’ve been pretty proud of. I have six grandchildren, and as I look forward to what kind of country we may be leaving to them, I’m concerned. We don’t expect to always agree with what our leaders do, but we have always, or perhaps until recently, expected them to be guided by Canadian values, and practice Canadian standards of behaviour.

Homeless: solution must be grass roots Continued from Pg. 6

Briefly, a social policy framework is a tool that can be used to guide decision-making, set future directions, identify important connections and support the alignment of policy and practice. It’s a blue print to be followed to build a sharing community. In the fall, the Union of British Columbia Municipalities convention subsequently endorsed a request for that same Social Policy Framework from the provincial government. To date the government has not acted on the recommendation of the mayors and councils of B.C. It is clear to me, and I assume to Mr. Davies, that pressure to have the provincial government formulate and adopt a social policy framework must come from the grass roots, from us. Campbell River and all communities deserve social policy that benefits all our citizens. -T. L. Moist, Black Creek

Prime Minister Harper and his team, evidently hoping to gain an advantage from all their big money supporters and well stuffed ‘war chest’, pulled a fast one on the other parties, and dropped the writ earlier than usual... so much earlier, that it is predicted to cost us, (the Canadian taxpayers whose interests our government is supposed to protect), about $141 million dollars extra this time around. We will evidently be paying, not just for the increased administration costs of the election, but millions more in election expenditure reimbursements to the parties. Imagine what those millions could have done for needy Canadians. I saw Prime Minister Harper and his team on the news the other night, climbing onto their big airplane, as

one of the other parties was shown leaving in a bus. It saddens me, and I couldn’t help but wonder if it’s possible for a party with such an obvious advantage in funding, to actually buy a federal election. It sure wouldn’t be very ‘Canadian’. I guess in this modern world, some folks will be laughing and congratulating the Conservative planning committee for that ‘early writ drop move’. It just makes me sad, and worried that by the next election or the one after that, Canadian values of honesty and fair play could be a distant memory. As we sit down to our dinner tonight, these politicians, these people that we have trusted to keep our country strong, have already begun to dismantle our public healthcare system, and to use Bill C-51 to legalize unprec-

edented powers of intrusion and confinement, on the pretense of protecting us. We might not notice because we might be busy, listening to the news about how a Conservative Senator (one of our trusted holders of the ‘power of sober second thought’ in our government), is on trial for ‘questionable’ financial activities and breech of trust. It seems there is an issue as well, regarding an apparent attempt at a coverup by the right hand of our prime minister. This is a crucial election for our country. Our government has already begun abandoning its responsibility to adequately fund our public health in favour of a ‘healthcare for profit’ policy. Privatization of our hospitals and seniors’ care facilities is already well underway. The Health Accord that

Adding in other cuts to the CBC, Canada Post,veterans, scientists, coast guard, environmental controls and Destination Canada etc., makes me wonder where all that money is going, and how much impact its loss has had on all of these crucial Canadian services. Let’s go to the polls in greater numbers than ever before, and when we do, let’s remember that no country can stay strong if its government abandons responsibility for the health of its citizens, fails to protect us from theft and dishonesty from within its own ranks, and places our all important trust in our government at risk. - Kathy Tur nbull , senior citizen and hopeful Canadian.

n Lightkeepers prove invaluable Re: Kristen’s Comment (Lightkeepers prove their worth) We were out on the water that day during a sail training course and listened to the distress call and ultimately about the rescue on channel 16. Lightkeepers proved invaluable over time. While from a navigational point of view an argument can be made that lightkeepers are no longer

needed, there is still much value in having lightkeepers on station. There is a reason why light houses are where they are. Often these are challenging waters and pose a risk to mariners. Having search and rescue capacity at a light house station only makes sense. There is a great book about the light houses on our coast called “Keepers of the Light” by Donald Graham. -Christof Marti

n Shame on the Coast Guard The fact that the lightkeeper had to swim in frigid waters ove r 3 0 0 m e t re s because the CCG continually takes away station boats that can be used for just this purpose. What is wrong with our CCG buraucracy that they just cannot see the benefit that the Senate managed to relate so well in their

New footbridge built over Nunn’s Creek MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

While the hot, dry summer this year wasn’t great for many waterways, at least one group of volunteers found a way to make use of the weather to help them. Members of the Nunn’s Creek Stewards, Greenways Land Trust, one retired Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) community advi-

sor, and a few random passersby came together recently to build a bridge over Nunn’s Creek while they could. “We’d built a similar bridge further down the creek four or five years ago, and we’d always wanted to get back and do this one. We actually had planned to do it last year, but we were rained out,” said Barry Peters, the retired DFO member, who helped coordinate

the effort. “Rain wasn’t a problem this year, obviously, until recently,” he laughed, “and we’d already gotten out in front of it.” Over a period of three days, Peters said, the group of volunteers lowered the old bridge on the trail just off of McPhedran near 2nd Avenue, into the creek bed to use as a working platform, built the new span, and then removed the old

structure from below. “It wasn’t in very good shape,” Peters said of the old bridge, “and our worry was that people would either get hurt using it or start to create their own makeshift bridges on their own,” which could cause environmental problems and safety hazards down the line. The bridge, while intended for hikers and students coming and going from school on

foot, was designed to take much more weight than necessary. “We’d like for it to just be a footbridge,” Peters said, “but we have to deal with the reality of people on ATVs and horses wanting to use it, so we made it to be able to support that. Honestly, we’d rather have them using the bridge than crossing through the stream and damaging it.” While the bridge

itself is complete, they now need to repair the approaches to it – with the help of some Carihi forestry students. The eastern approach to the creek, especially, tends to flood and get very messy during periods of high water. “They’ll be building an elevated walkway to the bridge that will allow the floodwaters to run underneath and preserve the surrounding eco-

system from additional damage,” Peters said. “We really need to find some younger people to take up these causes. The people involved have great ideas and expertise, but eventually they just simply won’t be physically able to carry out projects like this.” Anyone interested in helping on future projects can contact Greenways at www.greenwaystrust.ca

Weekend storm causes worst outage in Hydro’s history KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Hydro crews from around the province – including Campbell River – have been helping the Lower Mainland recover from the largest power outage ever recorded in BC Hydro’s history. Ted Olynyk, spokesperson for BC Hydro, said two Hydro workers from Campbell River

assisted with assessing the damage and with some repair work wreaked on the south coast by last Saturday’s rain and wind storm. “Usually they send the cre ws to us,” Olynyk said. “It was nice to help them for a change. It was the least we could do.” BC Hydro estimates that 710,000 or 50 per cent of its 1.4 million

customers on Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland lost power due to Saturday’s windstorm which is believed to be the single largest outage event in BC Hydro’s history. Olynyk said that at the peak of Saturday’s storm, 135 customers in the Campbell River area lost power. “The Campbell River area was basically

spared the wrath of the storm,” Olynyk said. But not everyone was as fortunate. Much of the Lower Mainland and on the Island, the Victoria and Cowichan areas, felt the brunt of the storm which triggered 1,800 trouble calls related to the event. That’s compared to the 2,000 trouble calls BC Hydro crews typically

respond to in the span of a month across the entire province. As of 2 p.m. Tuesday afternoon, 3,500 Hydro customers, primarily in the Surrey and Coquitlam remained without power. In addition to Campbell River, BC Hydro also called in personnel from Kamloops, Vernon, Prince George, Smithers, Terrace, Wil-

crews to bring in heavy equipment for repairs. By the numbers n Peak number of customers without power-400,000 n Number of customers out after 24 hours-227,000 n Number of customers out after 72 hours-4,900 n Number of damaged circuits-25

Restoration efforts, however, were made all the more difficult due to the continuing rain and wind. Hydro said saturated soil in certain areas has made it unsafe for

It may be that ‘child’ of yours is getting married or that you simply want to pass along some of the wealth you have worked so hard to accumulate during your lifetime. Either way, you want to help them buy a home. So, your ﬁrst thought is to give your child money – perhaps tens of thousands of dollars – for the down payment on his or her new home. But there is a downside to giving your child cash for a down payment. When your child marries, the assets brought to the marriage or acquired afterward usually become shareable – so if your son or daughter later separates from their spouse, the cash down payment you provided is included in the total valuation of the house, which becomes a shared asset.

through a promissory note that includes and loan agreement and security, usually in the form of a mortgage on the home.

In many cases, your child will not be expected to make payments against the loan during your lifetime, but the amount of the loan can then be offset against the amount to be inherited by that child. And as long as the loan is in place, you will have a much stronger argument that those funds must be repaid before any remaining equity in the home is divided between spouses (or commonlaw couples, in some jurisdictions). It is vital that this type of arrangement is properly documented and signed by all parties to minimize the possibility of someone denying the existence of the loan at a later date. If your child is not making regular payments of

to ‘refresh’ the loan from time to time to ensure it does not become statutebarred (that is, when a lent sum cannot be recovered by a creditor through legal action because of a time limit imposed by federal or provincial limitations acts). Be sure to speak to a lawyer to be sure the funds will be treated as a loan and everything is documented. And to be sure your ‘gift’ is in line with your ﬁnancial and estate plans, also discuss it with your professional advisor. 1 Information in this article is based on federal rules only.

Silk Pajams are a mustsee. Accomplished vocalist Ann Johnstone is backed up by Danny Bereza on electric guitar and Ian Parsons on valve trombone.Pick your favourite beverage,

sit back and remember where you were and what you were doing when that song was at the top of the charts. Drop in to the Coachman between 1 and 4 p.m. on Sept. 20 to see the Silk Pajamas.

The Philosopher’s Cafe series is back for another season. The series kicks off next Wednesday, Sept. 9 in the community room at Berwick by the Sea from 7 to 8 p.m. The discussion will centre around multiculturalism and whether it has failed our country. In 1971 Pierre Trudeau adopted multiculturalism as official policy. From that point on, Canada would recognize and respect that its society included diversity in languages, customs, religions, and more. In 1982, multiculturalism was recognized in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Immigrants could become Canadians by integrating into our culture without abandoning their own. This stood in contrast to American assimilation (the melting pot). The vision of cultures from around the world living in harmony is a

wonderful vision. But has the policy worked? Is there harmony or is there increased isolation between Canadians? Stewart Goodings’ early work led to the multiculturalism policy, and then as director general for the secretary of state department, he

guided the implementation of the policy. More recently, he spent five years on the Board of MOSAIC, the immigrant settlement organization in Vancouver, so has followed the evolution of multiculturalism over 40 years. Goodings will speak

23, Sept. 30, Oct. 7 and Oct. 21 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Campbell River Art Gallery studio. Deveau says the class is simply about painting, which includes creative mark making, abstracting forms, colour theory and more. A series of exercises will encourage

painting intuitively, letting go of outcome and being open to change and surprise. Participants will be using techniques that will introduce spontaneity – like painting to music, dripping, splattering, flinging and smearing – all to free up the mind to make

at next week’s Philosopher’s Cafe and lead a discussion on the past and future of multiculturalism. Mo d e r a t o r Pe t e r Schwarzhoff will then open the floor for what looks to be a very engaging topic for a lively discussion at Philosophers’ Cafe. Once a month a speaker will introduce a theme to the Café, and then all who attend can join in respectful, nonpartisan conversation, or just sit back and listen. Participants are welcome to propose topics and introduce them at future Cafés. Themes should be of broad interest and national significance, and have an element of controversy to them. As with each Café, Goodings will have just 10 minutes to introduce the topic, and then the floor is open for 50 minutes of moderated discussion.

New resource soon to help non-profits

BC FERRY SCHEDULES

MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Thanks to their recent grant from Campbell River Community Foundations, Volunteer Campbell River is currently putting the finishing touches on a project they’ve been thinking about for a long time. “What we’re doing is creating resource templates and samples,” says Louise Howes, executive director of Volunteer Campbell River. Thanks to the $2,500 grant from Community Foundations, Volunteer Campbell River took their recent website redesign one step further in response to what they had been hearing from their membership. “The survey that we did showed that many organizations think this kind of thing would be helpful,” Howes says, and they want to do whatever they can to make things easier for people, share their expertise in the nonprofit sector and streamline systems that can be complex at times for people without a background in it. “Non-profits have change,” she says. “They have rotating boards, staff that comes and goes, and it seems a lot of the time, when someone new comes in, they have great ideas, but it’s almost like they’re reinventing the wheel over and over again.” The resource library will contain things like job descriptions, codes of ethics, board position responsibilities, and other standard forms and documents that can be customized by individual organizations to fit their purposes, but have a standardized structure. “It should save organizations time, help with board development, board policies, staff policies and hours – there’s so many different things we’re pulling together for them.” One of the struggles with preparing such a database, Howes says, is just the nature of nonprofits themselves. “’Non-profits’ is such a huge compass – it’s so diverse. There are so many types of organizations and varying missions and visions,” she says, so to simplify the template for organizational structure is difficult. “It’s hard to get a ‘best

We need to look at what we’ve done, and what other organizations need, and for some things we need multiple examples of how things work,” she says. “Non-profits go from everything from two volunteers running an organization to someone like the Canadian Cancer Society, who has a multi-million-dollar budget and lots of staff and volunteers.” Howes is hoping

the resource database should be ready around the end of September or early in October, but their attention has been pulled away from the project temporarily as they prepared for their upcoming annual volunteer fair, which happens next weekend (Sept. 12) in Spirit Square. “It’s for our member organizations to come network, build their networking stream, learn about other organizations and what they

It’s our 23rd Annual “Show ‘n’ Shine”. We have a great day planned for the participants and spectators alike. . We expect many new entries… an incredible line up of antiques, hot rods, muscle cars, race cars, sports cars, exotics and motorcycles… definitely something for everyone. Campbell River has an abundance of really cool cars, and often the only time we really get to see them is at this show. Couple this with the participants who travel from far and wide to show there beautiful pieces of rolling art while experiencing our awesome scenery, and you have a weekend to remember. We really want to encourage the younger crowd to participate, so a special “Young Guns” trophy will be awarded to an entry owned by someone under 30 years of age. Our Saturday evening cruise is on again, but starts at 6:30pm this year. See the details in this pullout. Set up your lawn chairs and watch the cars cruise by. Our participants love to cruise and it gives us a chance to show off our great city to our visitors. Once again we had generous support from the local business community. The Downtown BIA has organized a shopping tour for our participants. Campbell River businesses also donate “door prizes” that are given

to participants. Room for parking all these neat machines is courtesy the City of Campbell River, for Shopper’s Row and Spirit Square, and Tyee Plaza for their parking area. Our “Top Pick” trophies are award to the “picks” of the sponsors, our members, and we even have a “RCMP Pick”. We don’t judge… we just pick cars we see as special in one way or another. We appreciate every entrant and “Thank You” for participating.

north island cruisers show 'n' shine A Message from the President of the

campbell river 2015

North Island Cruisers Thank you to all participants, vendors, the visiting public and members of the North Island Cruisers for your support of our Annual Labour Day car show in Campbell River. Our ‘Cruisers’ have organized this show for the last 23 years and the event has become a highlight of our year. The Car Show has grown to one of the largest on the Island and two years ago we added a Saturday night cruise through town. This year we drive back to the Discovery Mall A&W where we follow up with a street dance and live entertainment. In 1992 the original 5 members incorporated a ‘not for profit society’ and these are the purposes of our society as defined in our Constitution: To promote and encourage the restoration, modification and upgrading of motor vehicles with a primary focus on vehicles thirty (30) years old or older, but also including sports cars, muscle cars, race cars, exotics and special interest vehicles. To share knowledge of the members of the Society on the area of restoring, modifying and upgrading of motor vehicles.

To hold meetings and arrange for social events, competitions and rod runs for its members and others sharing the same interests. To arrange for insurance, periodicals and publicity for the benefit of its members and to promote motor vehicle safety and courtesy and foster public understanding of its objectives.

As you can see we appeal to a large section of the public who are interested in many aspects of special interest autos. We meet on the first Tuesday of each month at the Seniors Centre in Campbell River Common mall at 7:00 PM. You might also find us at the A&W at Merecroft Mall most weekday mornings. We also publish a Website (www.nicruisers.ca) where you can contact us and find out more about us. You will not meet a finer group of people who are eager to help fellow members with their projects and their enjoyment of their special interest cars. Enjoy the Show n Shine and our Saturday night cruise and join our North Island Cruisers – you will have fun! Rick Johnson, President North Island Cruisers

NANAIMO BUCCANNERS Campbell River’s Valerie Doyon (front left on the right podium) and her Team Canada teammates took home bronze medals in the 18-21 kumite at the Pan-Am Karate Championships in Bolivia last weekend.

Karate kid bound for worlds Campbell River athlete nets bronze in tuneup for 2015 championships J.R. RARDON CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Campbell River’s Valerie Doyon added to her growing collection of hardware last weekend when she brought back a bronze medal from the Panamerican Karate Federation’s Junior and Cadet championships in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. But she came out of the competition much more excited about qualifying to compete for Team Canada in the World Karate Championships in Jakarta, Indonesia, this November. “I was No. 1 in points in Canada, but was waiting for after the PanAms to see how Hana (Furumoto-Deshaies) would do,” said Doyon,

of Campbell River’s Shito-Ryu Seiko-Kai Karate Club. “I’m still ahead, therefore I was the one selected to go to the world championships, which is very exciting.” The PKF competition was Doyon’s first in the adult division after turning 18 this summer. She already has a silver medal from the Canadian Nationals and a gold from the North America Cup in Las Vegas in the 17-year-old division on her resume this year, and won bronze with Canada’s U21 female kumite team last weekend. She was an alternate on the four-member team with Camelie Boisvenue, Trysten Deveau and Furumoto-Deshaies, and did not actually fight. “I was honoured to be selected, and I still had to be warmed up and ready to go into a fight,” Doyon said. “But I don’t feel like I put in as much effort as the other girls, so it’s kind of bittersweet. “I would have loved to

tion, Doyon got only one fight in the U21 under61 kg class. After scoring the first point against Argentina’s Melina Martinez, a two-time veteran of the Pan American Games, Doyon finished the match in a 1-1 draw. Martinez was then awarded the win by a 3-2 in hantei, a judges’ decision. “It was really unfortu-

nate; I was really mad,” Doyon said of the loss. “I thought I was OK because I had more flags go to me, 6-2. I attacked more.” C omp e t itors m ay return to the bracket after a loss through repêchage if their opponent advances into the medal round. But Martinez lost her next bout, ending Doyon’s chances to rejoin the competition. The weight class drew 15 entrants, with Venezuela’s Oriana Rodriguez claiming the gold medal. “Whenever it goes to a judges’ decision it’s not the best situation,” she said. “But I was just happy to be there. I was probably one of the youngest, if not the youngest, people in the competition.” It was the second consecutive trip for Doyon to the PKF Championships in South America. She departs this week to study at the University of Ottawa and train for the world championships.

Mt. Washington cuts pass prices

Mo u n t Wa s h i n g ton Alpine Resort has announced lowered prices on the Alpine and Gold Season Pass products for the upcoming 2015-16 season. Skiers and riders can see savings as much as $300 over last year. “We did an extensive review of all of our Season Pass products. By simplifying our lineup, we have been able to reduce our rates and increase benefits for our Pass Holders,” said Don Sharpe, Director of Business Operations at Mount Washington Alpine Resort. “With our new rate structure,

more people than ever can enjoy the excitement of the mountain.” Families will also benefit from a new family discount program. “Mount Washington’s foundation is families,” continues Sharpe.” That is why we have simplified the family discounts to offer greater value. On average alpine families will save hundreds over last year’s rates.” In addition to lowered prices, the resort’s annual Early Bird Season Pass Sale is now on. “We’re offering up to 36 per cent off regular season rates when you purchase your pass in

September,“ said Season Pass Coordinator, Maureen Thompson. “Don’t wait, the Early Bird sale ends at midnight, Sept. 30.” Included in the Early Bird Sale is Mount Washington’s flagship product, the Gold Pass. This pass offers unlimited sevenday-a-week skiing/riding, night skiing, Nordic skiing, and snowshoeing. “The Gold Pass is the best value out there; your break-even is less than 10 visits,” Thompson adds. “It provides avid skiers with a sense of freedom, to come and go when they want, versus the sense of urgency

sometimes felt when skiing on a day ticket. New this year, we have entered into a reciprocal partnership with Revelstoke Mountain, Apex, Manning Park, and Mt. Seymour, to provide our Gold Season Pass Holders with two free lift tickets at each resort – it’s huge value.” And the 100-day Winter Guarantee returns for the 2015-16 winter season. This program provides Season Pass Holders at Mount Washington a guaranteed 100-day season. If not, the resort credits Pass Holders towards a pass for the following year. “It

provides our Pass Holders with peace of mind in their purchase,” said Thompson. Season Passes can be purchased during the September Island-wide road shows, on- mountain, or online at www. mountwashington.ca.

Rediscover the joy of mud SPIN MY

RIDE James Durand

After such an amazing Summer I have to admit that a weekend of rain, as much as we needed it, was not welcomed by me. I was on Hornby Island and really looking forward to riding some smooth dry trails. Dry wasn’t an option though, as it rained pretty hard over the weekend. Part of me wanted to hide out in the trailer, eat junk food and avoid the mud, but I don’t get to ride new trails very often so I headed out and made the best of it for two days. I actually ended up having a couple awesome rides. The trails had hardly any water on them and the canopy of trees managed to keep me fairly dry. As the weekend came to a close, there were signs of sunshine to the North and we headed toward home and the Monday night Swicked ride. After dealing with packing up the camp site, managing a fouryear-old who hates the end of holidays and waiting in multiple ferry line ups, I made

it home just in time for the group ride. I quickly got dressed in whatever clean bike clothes I could find and pedalled down my driveway. That’s when the skies opened up and tried to drown me. So much for

sunshine. Sadly, I was not prepared for this weather and short of an old torn rain jacket, all my wet weather gear was in my washing machine. So I squinted into the rain and tried to avoid the biggest puddles on my way to meet the group. I was covered in mud and felt like I was wearing a wet diaper, but surprisingly happy about it all. Its been so long since I rode in the mud I think I forgot how much fun it can be. By the end of the night the 15 riders with me had mud covered faces, dirty bikes and big smiles. It was a tough start to the night, but once we were all a little muddy, it was

Carmageddon back on track

Saratoga Speedway suffered another rainout last Saturday, but the action returns this weekend — rain or shine — with the first-ever school bus races to mark back-to-school weekend. Saturday’s show begins at 7 p.m. and features the second Carmageddon stunt show of the season. Also on the card are the Crash to Pass, Road Runners, Bomber cars, Hornet Cars and Figure 8 racers. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for students with I.D. and $5 for children. More info at www.saratogaracing.ca.

just another great ride. No matter how fun it was in the mud, I am still hoping for another month or two of dry, warm weather. But, it was a nice reminder that winter on the west coast is pretty mild and with the right gear, a tiny bit of prep and a helmet light, when most of the country is snowed in, we get to ride our mountain bikes all winter long. So rather than hanging your bike on the hook in the garage when the rains come, why not join a bunch of other wing nuts and come out for the Monday night group ride, its lots of fun!

From August 21 to the 31 there has been plenty of action in the Campbell River Tyee Pool but the king or queen of the biggest spring in 2015 has yet to be crowned.

With the rain we had at the beginning of the week and when the weather clears, expect the fishing action to heat up.
