Charity salmon derby gains momentum JOCELYN DOLL CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

or the past couple of years, Royal LePage Advance Realty has been considering putting on a salmon derby, this year they decided to do it. Though there are small derbies

run by local companies or resorts, the team at Royal LePage wanted to do something that is for all of Campbell River. “A lot of people are saying ‘holy smokes how have we not had this in Campbell River yet?’” said realtor Deanna Collins with a laugh. The derby is happening on June

these can bring new hazards. A vehicle pulling a trailer cannot react as quickly to avoid collisions so drivers must keep that in mind when entering the road way or driving near these vehicles. Motorcyclists are more susceptible to major injury and death in collisions. Vancouver Island and Campbell River are a motorcyclist hot spot so there’s usually an increase in motorcyclists in the area not familiar with local roads.

May 17-23 is National Road Safety Week and Campbell River RCMP are using it to remind the public that with warmer weather comes a change in the kind of vehicles on the roads and that requires a different awareness from drivers. More trailers, boats and motorcycles are on the roadway these days and

renda Aucoin has been working at McDonald’s since 1989. One of the first people hired when the Campbell River location opened, the number on her timecard is three. The day she applied for the job she was mad at the friend she was working for at a restaurant across the street. “I told her, ‘I’m going to go across the road and get a job at McDonald’s’,” she remembered with a smile. “She said ‘sure thing,’ so I came storming across the road and asked for an application.” At the time, Aucoin had a young son, so she wasn’t really thinking full time and she wasn’t thinking long term. “Twenty-seven years later and I am still here,” she said. She was supposed to retire at the same time as her husband, but he has been retired for around 20 years already. “I’m still quite young, I still can’t do nothing yet,” she said. In 2014 Aucoin battled cancer. She was away from work for 13 months recovering. “I really missed work when I was off all that time,” she said. Mary Roliniski, coowner, said that Aucoin was desperate to come back to work and miffed when Roliniski wouldn’t let her. “We couldn’t let her come back until she had clearance from her doctor,” she said. Aucoin came back to

work in November and has been flipping burgers full time ever since. “I don’t believe in just a little bit of hours,” she said. Though she is in the kitchen now, Aucoin can do it all. She worked the front counter for 20-some years, and this year she sold socks on McHappy Day in the restaurant. She has also worked in all three of the McDonalds locations in town. “You’ve got to be a certain type of person [to work here],” she said. “It’s not meant for everybody. “I am a people person…I don’t care what walk of life you come from, you are treated with respect.” Aucoin loves her job. “If I didn’t enjoy it I wouldn’t be here for that length of time,” she said. “As soon as I walk in the door, I can be tired in the morning and walk

in here and it’s different.” She is high energy and a non-stop talker and the people love her. She has regulars that come to see her sometimes twice a day. “When I was off for that year on medical leave and they didn’t see me they were all quite concerned,” she

said. “Some of them just thought I retired. “Not yet. I’m too young.” Aucoin works the morning shift Monday to Friday. When she isn’t working she is doing yardwork or square dancing. “I don’t just go home and rest, I come to work to rest,” she joked.

Learning through summer play MIKE DAVIES

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The Campbell River Literacy Association, along with School District 72 (SD72) and other community partners, are reminding parents and guardians of students that it’s important to keep your kids engaged in learning throughout the summer months when they’re not in school. Kat Eddy, outreach coordinator for the Literacy Association, says there’s a phenomenon called the “summer slide,” where kids who don’t remain engaged in learning when they’re out of school for two months actually re-enter school further behind than when they went on break. “They’ll lose learning that they gained the previous year if they’re not continuing to engage with it through the summer,” Eddy says. To that end, she says, Literacy has helped organize an information session and community workshop for parents called “Reading Matters” on June 2 at the library downtown, “to give them some tricks and tips to keep their kids engaged in education and learning through the summer.” It’s not just about enrolling kids in formal programming – although there are plenty of those options to choose from – “but about continuing to practice those skills, just at home as a family, to keep those parts of the

Housing market ‘the hottest we’ve seen in years’

FRIDAY, MAY FRIDAY, MAY 20, 20, 2016 2016 || CAMPBELL CAMPBELL RIVER RIVER MIRROR MIRROR || 9 9

www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com

MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

When an area experiences changes like significant major industry closures or struggles – as it the case with some of Campbell River’s heavy industries these days – people don’t usually think about it being a great time to buy a home there. “I think sometimes we all fall into that myopic view of what the economy in your own little town is doing. When the mill went down it was the same thing,” says local realtor Mark Ranniger. “But as bad as that was – and it was bad. It put a lot of people out of work and it was terrible – it’s a bigger world now, and areas like ours are better able to weather those types of storms these days,” Ranniger says, adding the housing market in Campbell River and area right now is, for many reasons, “the hottest we’ve seen in years.” According to President of the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board (VIREB) Margo Hoffman, the statistics back up Ranniger’s claims. Hoffman echoes Ranniger’s sentiments when she says it has been “several years” since realtors across Vancouver Island have been as busy as they are right now. “Our market is in

definitely seller’s market territory,” Hoffman says, “and we just don’t have enough inventory.” According to the data gathered by VIREB, March 2016 saw an increase in housing sales of 24 per cent over the same month last year Island-wide, and Brendon Ogmundson, economist with the BC Real Estate Association (BCREA), says that’s reflective of the province’s vibrant economy. “Although we’ve been saying that the housing market can’t continue at this pace indefinitely,” Ogmundson says in a recent VIREB report, “there are no signs [yet] that point to a slowdown.” One factor contribut-

ing to people coming to town is the cost of housing elsewhere, Ranniger says. Real estate prices in Campbell River, Ranniger says, “are incredibly attractive right now compared to other communities.” He says his kids – now grown – are looking at purchasing property in the Okanagan right now, “and what they’re looking for is $250,000 cheaper here in Campbell River. That’s a lot of money. “Some people, if they’re retiring from one of those more expensive places, they can retire two, or three, or four or more years earlier (by moving to Campbell River) than they could if

they stayed where they are,” which is another factor in the housing market being so strong. This factor is backed up by VIREB numbers, as well. In March of this year, according to the real estate board, the benchmark price – which tracks the price of a “typical” home in an area – of a single-family home in the Campbell River area was $281,400, which is a 2.61 percent increase over March 2015 numbers. Compare that to the Comox Valley, where the benchmark price in March was over $350,000 – an increase of almost 10 per cent over the past year, or

the Parksville/Qualicum area, which saw its benchmark price rise by 8.66 per cent to $391,400. And VIREB says that April continued the trend of increases, seeing 662 single-family homes sold through the

MLS system in their service area – all of Vancouver Island north of the Malahat – which is a 47 per cent increase over April of last year. That sounds to be a recipe for pricing increases here, doesn’t it? Doesn’t it bode well

that things don’t seem to have topped-out in the housing market just yet? “Well, reading a crystal ball is a hard thing to do,” Ranniger admits, “but in supply-anddemand rules, you’d expect somewhat of an increase, for sure.”

What’s this Victoria Day thing? I have a six-year-old son named Sven, and he’s usually my favourite person to talk to. We have excellent conversations, and he often, during the course of those discussions, makes me realize that, through the eyes of a child, some of what we do as a society is actually pretty messed up. Like when he asks why we haven’t figured out how to keep people from getting sick, when we’ve figured out how to literally fly around in outer space. Recently, he was asking why school doesn’t happen on weekends. I couldn’t actually justify that, when he asked. There are many ways that public education could be delivered, and I think it’s pretty much the scientific consensus that Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. isn’t the best way to do it. But if I was to say, “Because that’s how it’s been done since they decided to do it that way, even though it’s probably not the best way to do it,” his follow-up would be,

The provincial Freedom of Information and Privacy Act (FIPPA) is a vital piece of legislation that can be used to hold the government accountable and transparent – a crucial component in a contemporary democracy. The media, and individual members of the public, have for years used FOI requests to access information from government and other public bodies that would otherwise be protected or deliberately withheld. However, the effectiveness of aspect of the act is on the verge of being seriously degraded. The provincial government is changing the legislation, and making all active FOI requests public, before they are completed. While that may sound reasonable, it will gravely damage the media’s ability to conduct investigations into government decisions and actions disWe say: Allow creetly, releasing stories FIPPA to be the only when all information and sources have effective tool it been pursued. Alerting was intended other media, government officials and the public of an ongoing investigation is a deep disincentive to journalists, and may well compromise confidential sources. Finance Minister (and Abbotsford MLA) Mike de Jong has indicated the impetus behind the change is to assist applicants in tracking their FOI requests. We challenge this reasoning. FOIs can be followed by calling the FOI analyst of the agency to which the request has been directed. Other options for that process also exist, such as a password protected database. The perception can be formed that the underlying reason for making FOI requests public before they are complete is to discourage the public and the media from using the legislation. Other changes to FIPPA are laudable, such the proactive disclosure of a range of government information, without the necessity of an FOI request, and an improved government response to applications. However, we urge Minister de Jong to abandon the automatic public release change, and allow FIPPA to continue to be the effective tool it was intended to be. That’s the mark of an accountable government, willing to bear the scrutiny of its constituents and media watchdogs. – Black Press

of Britain, and they have a Queen,” I paused, “and we kind of still do, too. It’s complicated.” I could have told him that Monday is the closest Monday to the birthday of the lady who was Queen of Britain when we became an independentlygoverned country. She got to be Queen because she didn’t have a brother and was the daughter of the eldest son of the eldest son (and so on) of a guy named William – who got to be King when his army killed a guy named Harold almost a thousand years ago.” But I thought that would be too confusing for him. It’s confusing for me, and I’m in my mid-30s. In any case, no, we don’t do presents on Victoria Day, Sven. Sorry. And yes, I agree with you that people are kind of weird. I mean, you don’t get presents on Victoria Day but you got to look for chocolate and jelly beans in a friend’s yard because of some fictional rabbit? In any case, enjoy your long weekend, Campbell River.

PBR Grand Prix opens this weekend in Gold River

WeWaiKai win three of four ages in Cowichan

Pack your bags and bring the dog. The Vancouver Island PBR Grand Prix is set to kick off this weekend in Gold River. Paddle, Bike and Run your way around Antler Lake solo or as a co-ed team. This 15km Adventure Race

The WeWaiKai youth soccer teams from Campbell River won three of the four competitive groups during the Cowichan Eagles’ 14th annual tournament, held Saturday at the Alexander and Quamichan school fields. The host Eagles finished second in the U7 and U16 age groups, placing behind WeWaiKai in both. WeWaiKai placed first and third in the U7 division, with the Eagles sandwiched in between. In U10, the San’alt Fury took first, followed by the Guilford Island Breakers and Shellbeach Raiders. WeWaiKai also won the U13 age class, ahead of the T-Birds from Victoria and Turner Island Braves. In the U16 bracket, WeWaiKai and the Eagles were followed by the T-Birds in third place. The U5 division was played jamboree-style, with all players receiving goodie bags for their participation. Tournament organizers thanked all the parents who volunteered to make the day a success, all the teas who supported the tournament, and all the businesses and individuals who donated to the event, including Alec Johnny and Cowichan Tribes Operations and Maintenance, Columbia Ice, LMG Insurance Brokers, Duncan Paving, and Mike & Mike Comfort Systems Ltd.

includes a 2.5km paddleboard or kayak, 7.5km mountain bike ride and 5km run. Gold River is the ultimate destination to start the Island Series and set the pace for this brand new, multi-sport race series says Comox Valley resident and race

director Marc St.Jules. “I’ve lived in all the recreation hot spots in BC and from a logistics standpoint, you can’t compete with Gold River,” he says. There’s a reason Explore magazine named it a top 10 town in Canada for recreation

Fishing Corner with

small black fly in hook sizes 10 to 14 or artificial bait.

For those of us who fish on a regular basis the weather plays an important factor and sometimes you cant get out on the water because of high winds and big tides. Already this month for the people camping at Sayward they have had days in May where they could not get out and fish. Even on the lakes the wind can come up and blow you right off the lake.

It is still early for the bulk of tourists arriving in Campbell River to enjoy fishing, kayaking and sightseeing in the area. I checked in with the Visitor Information Centre and many already are coming from Germany and the Netherlands along with many coming from Alberta.

A small fishing boat had overturned on Roberts Lake on the first Saturday in May and search and rescue were called out and no one was injured. A good rule of thumb to follow is if you are on the lake and see whitecaps, it is time to get to a sheltered bay to cast a lure or fly or even wait it out. The strong winds often occur between 1:30 and 3 p.m.

In Campbell River there are a couple places to rent a fishing rod and reel and try fishing to see if you like it. Rentals are available at Discovery Fishing Pier and at the Campbell River Visitor Centre. The local tackle shops have all the gear for saltwater and freshwater fishing and the staff knows the products and can offer suggestions for any budget.

The Vancouver Island Trout Hatchery released another 1,250 catchable size trout on Wednesday May 11 and the next trout release will be in late fall. Trout have been caught on a regular basis using the standard hook and worm or even use artificial eggs that can be fished

on a single hook and trolled. May is a very good month to get out and fish the local lakes as the water has warmed and getting out to Maple Lake at Cumberland can be a great way to spend an afternoon. To the south of Courtenay, the fishing is very good on Spider Lake using a
