Jamie Turko, owner of Destiny River Adventures Rafting Centre, helps Jo-Ann Dumont, a person with quadriplegia, to snorkle with the salmon.

Woman doesn’t let quadriplegia prevent her from swimming with the salmon JOCELYN DOLL CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

ast week Jo-Ann Dumont was carried from her wheelchair onto a bus and then onto a raft to snorkel with the

salmon. Jamie Turko, owner of Destiny River Adventures Rafting Centre, has taken hundreds of people down the Campbell River to snorkel with the salmon, including a few amputees and a paraplegic, but

Dumont was his first person with quadriplegia. “We usually try to push our limits a little bit, but snorkelling in the river I hadn’t done yet,” Dumont said. “It was an incredible experience and it was only because

of [Turko’s] passion for disabled people and that everybody should have a great experience that I got to go.” Dumont was bundled into a wet suit. Because of her poor circula-

Haircuts for the homeless MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Samantha Hubbard, owner of and hairdresser at Industry Hair and Body Care, recently saw a Facebook meme go by in her news feed of a New York hairdresser who was doing free haircuts for the homeless. “The first time I saw it, I was like, ‘oh, that’s really cool,’ and I let it go by,” Hubbard says as she works away under a tent behind the No. 1 firehall Sunday night. She’s cutting the hair of a a man who simply goes by Alfie. “But then for two days at work, I was like, ‘wow, Sam, why didn’t you act on that?’” She didn’t have to stew about it for long, because it showed up in her feed again a few days later. “When it went by again, it was like God saying, ‘you know what, Sam? I’ve given you a talent, and you need to go share it.’” So she made a Facebook post of her own, asking for donations of toiletries and personal care products she could bring along with her

when she hauled her chairs and scissors over to the firehall – where the Grassroots Kind Hearts Society serves dinner – and the response was amazing. “That whole table over there is courtesy of one post on Facebook saying ‘this is what I want to do, can anybody help?’ and look what happened,” she says. “We’ve got men’s kits and ladies kits and face creams and jewelry and soaps and you name it,” says Anne Hartwell, who immediately volunteered to help after the idea came up in conversation while she was sitting in Hubbard’s chair at Industry. “The community has been fabulous. You just put the word out and people rise to the occasion.” That’s what Grassroots Kind Hearts is hoping, as well. They have been feeding the homeless for over a year now – recently going to seven nights per week – and are struggling to keep momentum going. “What we really need is volunteers who can

cook something, bring it down and serve it, but we’ll take any help we can get,” says Linda Dwyer, a volunteer with the society, “whether that’s just something someone makes that we can pick up and bring down here and we’ll bring their pans and serving dishes back to them or someone who has some fruit we can come pick.” With no government funding to speak of, the group has been mainly paying out of the pockets of their volunteers, with the occasional public or business donation. “What Industr y is doing here today is so great,” Dwyer says, “and is another example of a few businesses that have really stepped up to help. Kermit and Betty from Associated Tire came down and did a salmon barbecue for us one night, and Pathfinder Travel actually did a dinner for us instead of having a Christmas party, which was just fantastic,” she says, “but we could also really use some corporate sponsors who might fund things like paper plates or other sup-

To All My3x3.5 Magnificent Girlfr iends.. . Bday Thank you

plies we need that really add up after a while.” Members of the public and local businesses interested in helping Grassroots Kind Hearts are encouraged to contact them through their Facebook page or website (grassrootskindhearts. org) to get involved. As for Hubbard, she says she’ll be back, too. “Is there anything better than getting a fresh haircut to make you feel a bit better about yourself, even if it’s just for a couple of hours?”

tion she wore extra wool and fleece layers as well as a toque to ensure she stayed warm. Once they were in the water, Turko held Dumont the whole time, ensuring that if she got into trouble he would be there to help. “Once she did get a chance to really relax and to trust me, she saw an amazing amount of salmon,” Turko said. Dumont and her husband were in Campbell

River on holidays from Airdrie, Alta., which is just north of Calgary. “I just think that Campbell River has got so much to offer,” she said. “This truly was a lifetime experience for us.” Turko doesn’t have a wheelchair accessible bus, hence why he carried Dumont onto the bus for her trip. He said this experience has inspired him to look into a more wheelchair accessible vehicle.

The number of files where police are called to help individuals for mental health reasons has more than doubled in the first six months of this year compared to the first six months of 2010, Campbell River RCMP spokesperson Const. Sara Clark said. “Being a police officer isn’t always about fighting crime, police officers regularly deal with people who have come to a place where they feel no one is there to help, but a police officer always is,” Clark said. “Police in Campbell River have been dealing with more of these files lately, than in recent years. “In Campbell River, the number has steadily increased, over the last six years. These situations are very high risk, and highly charged for officers. They require a lot of patience and diligence in extremely tense situations. “Officers in Campbell River have proven time and time again they are the right people to

help, by apprehending them under the Mental Health Act and bringing them to a medical professional.” Recently, Campbell River RCMP have dealt with two individuals in such situations. In the first incident, an individual called police to report consuming a toxic amount of drugs and was threatening to harm themself. A lone police officer located the individual and provided assistance. As the officer approached, the individual had a weapon in hand and was begging the police officer to shoot them. The police officer made the critical decision to switch from his pistol to the Conducted Energy Weapon (“CEW” more commonly known

The individual asked their friends to say goodbye to their family. The friend called the Campbell River RCMP, who were able to identify the neighbourhood the individual lived in. Every RCMP officer working came out to assist in the search and began urgently knocking on doors, until the individual was located. Despite efforts to de-escalate the situation, the individual would not co-operate and began to take a large amount of pills. Clark said officers had no choice but to react, using the CEW once again to allow the individual to be apprehended and to be taken to a doctor for assessment. “During our initial training (at Depot, the RCMP Training Academy), RCMP Officers are required to take part in a scenario where they are required to respond

to an incident in progress concerning a mental health call,” Clark said. “We must use knowledge taught earlier about negotiation and mediation skills, as well as legislation, risk assessment, etc. Signs, symptoms and behaviours associated to a mental health condition are also part of this training. This initial training is supported by ongoing training, and real life experiences, throughout our policing careers. Police officers are an important resource in the world of mental health. “When people are at their worst and in their darkest hour, it’s often police officers that find a way to pull them out and put them in the hands of medical professionals. These are life or death situations for both police and the public, when someone is in that place they don’t care if they live or die, that’s not only difficult for them, but also for us.” Anyone who feels they need assistance or someone to talk to can call the Crisis Line at 1(888)4943888.

Area D Director ‘100 per cent’ against ‘unconscionable’ water rate hikes KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The Strathcona Regional District has approved a significant increase to water rates in Area D, a move that the area director called “unconscionable.” At Wednesday’s board meeting, Area D Director Brenda Leigh was incensed by the board’s approval of a more than 50 per cent increase to her area’s water rates. The board, with the exception of directors Leigh, Jim Abram and Gerald Whalley, voted to raise rates in order to avoid running a deficit. Regional district staff wrote in a report to the board that residential rates need to increase from $260 to $402 per year and non-residential user rates need to increase from $286 to $442 minimum per year in order to meet revenue

targets in the regional district’s 2016 financial plan. But Leigh said she failed to see any justification for the increase and refused to accept it. “I will be appealing to the community services minister and to others that may be able to look into the legality of this bylaw,” Leigh said. “There’s no rationale behind this bylaw and I will not be explaining to my constituents why this bylaw is in place because there is no reasonable explanation being offered. An increase to our utility bills by 54 per cent by the City of Campbell River is absolutely unconscionable.” Area D’s water rates are in part based off the rate that the City of Campbell River – which supplies the water – charges. The city charges Area D

residents 1.6 times the annual rate that city residents are charged and because the city’s water rates have increased this year, Area D’s rates go up as a consequence. A 9.4 per cent increase this year in the bulk water rate now has rates sitting at $0.93 per cubic metre. Regional district staff D aw n C hr istens on and Patti Wells said that increase is “compounded by the four per cent increase in predicted water consumption, leading to a total bulk water cost increase of nearly $75,000. Additionally, in 2015, accumulated surplus was depleted by $190,000, a gap that must be recovered from other sources.” Leigh, who was clearly unhappy with the move,

said she did not want to be held responsible. “I will refer any questions regarding this bylaw to (regional district) staff and they will need to answer those questions because I am fully, 100 per cent against this bylaw,” Leigh said. This is not the first time that Leigh has been upset over water rates. More than three years ago the City of Campbell River attempted to raise water rates for Area D from $0.40 per cubic metre to $0.80. After more than two years of negotiations, in April of 2014, the city accepted an offer from the regional district and settled on a $0.63 per cubic metre increase, retroactive to 2013, and a $0.72 increase for 2014.

10 ways post-secondary students can save money 3x8

You’re ready to head off for college or university and you know your money will be tight. Relieve some of that financial pressure now, enjoy a healthier bank account through your post secondary years, and perhaps graduate with less student debt by following these ten savings tips.

you’ll actually need.

1. Consider the cost of where you lay your head at night Living in a residence or apartment can be a great experience but it is also very expensive. In 2009, the average cost of a four year degree for someone living away from home was $77,132, compared to $51,763 for those living at home. So, by living at home, you could potentially save $25,000 or more*.

5. Don’t pay needless fees Universities often charge for a student medical plan but you can opt out of the school’s coverage when you’re covered by a parent’s plan.

Investors Group

Credit cards are typically readily available to college and university students but they can drown you in debt. They can also be helpful in an emergency or for establishing a credit history. Make the responsible choice.

6. Buy used textbooks A lot of learning is now done on e-devices but when you need traditional textbooks, buy used – and sell them at the end of the semester.

Area D residents pay more for water than Campbell River residents as per a city policy to charge higher rates to water users outside of the city limits in order to cover water delivery costs. The higher cost also compensates for water charges that customers within the city pay but that the city is unable to collect from customers outside the city limits. The city’s water rates are based on the funding required to cover the annual operating and maintenance costs for the water system, as well as upgrading and replacing the various components of the water system (pipes, pumps, treatment facilities, and reservoirs) as the water system ages and as the community grows.

The federal government’s National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls is preparing to get underway in September. With five commissioners led by B.C. judge Marion Buller and a budget that has swelled by a third to $54 million before it even starts, this inquiry has one big advantage over all the previous studies of Canada’s intractable problems of poverty and violence in aboriginal communities. In this case, the politicians all agree what the outcome is going to be. They’ve been saying so for months, since the Justin Trudeau government got elected on this and other passionate, if questionable, promises. Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould, a member of the We Wai Kai Nation on Quadra Island, a former Crown prosecutor and chair of the B.C. Treaty Commission, announced the terms of reference last week. She stressed that the inquiry will not attempt to retry cold cases, but to examine the “root causes” of the high numbers of missing and mur-

dered women. Next up was Indigenous Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett, who has no doubt at all what those “root causes” are: racism, sexism and the lingering effects of colonialism. Bennett has been meeting steadily with grieving families since being appointed, and now accepts that racist, indifferent cops are the main “root cause.” B e n n e t t explained this conclusion from New York in April, while attending a “Women of the World” summit. It’s an “uneven application of justice,” she told The Globe and Mail, a phrase we’ll hear again and again. “You end up with people who have been told it’s an overdose, or a suicide or an accident,” Bennett said. RCMP have reported close to 1,200 unsolved cases of mur-

dered or missing indigenous women since 1980, a figure that Bennett scoffs at. What’s her evidence? She’s talked to f am i l i e s , an d B.C. knows it’s “way more” than that. One of the previous inquiries was by a United Nations official, James Anaya, in 2014. He noted the alarming statistics of education outcome and violent offences against women, and referred to 660 cases documented by the Native Women’s Association of Canada. He also described being besieged by demands for a national inquiry, as he went through the stacks of studies that have already been done. “Since 1996,” Anaya wrote in his UN report, “there have been at least 29 official inquiries and reports dealing with aspects of this issue, which have resulted in over 500 recommendations for action.”

Getting the word out

Investigate other victims of violence too VIEWS

Sometime in the next year or two, marijuana will be legal for personal consumption in Canada. The federal government is currently working on the exact laws around this, but all indications so far point to it being produced, sold, and taxed much like alcohol, i.e. not sold to kids, sold through special outlets, taxed heavily. But the federal Liberals have, as yet, not touched the drug laws already on the books. Which is wasting the time and money of police forces and courts across the country. Men and woman are still charged with simple possession, or for running small grow operations in sheds and garages. This is surreal for the low-level drug offendWe say: Police ers. The law of the land and court time is about to change, but still dealing with they’re stuck on the wrong side of a legislative criminal charges process. The same behaviour that is criminal now will be a mere personal choice, or even considered entrepreneurial by 2018! It also wastes the money and time of the police and courts. The police have enough to do without worrying about processing pot as evidence or filling out the paperwork for simple possession charges. Yet they’re sworn to uphold the law. Although there is some looking the other way – our courts might collapse if police launched a blitz on casual pot users – they can’t look away from a dozen plants. So, while the Liberals slowly work their way through the ramifications of the new law, we send people to court to pick up criminal records and police spend time investigating and testifying. What we’re likely to see now is a year or so of foot dragging. Anyone charged in the next 18 months has no incentive to go before a judge – after all, they won’t be lawbreakers, soon enough. -Black Press

As the latest inquiry was being launched, Perry Bellegarde, the current Assembly of First Nations national chief, recited Bennett’s speaking points about the conclusions it will reach. Bellegarde told CTV the problem is vastly underreported because “…oh, it’s an accidental death. Oh, it’s a suicide.” Then he called for more money for housing and other programs from the failed Indian Act system. There are several glaring factors that apparently will not be discussed, because they fall outside the politically correct boundaries of this pre-determined narrative. One is the even more alarming number of aboriginal men and boys who are victims of violent crime. Another is the rate of domestic abuse reported by indigenous women, which Statistics Canada estimated this year at about 10 per cent of their population. That’s three times the national average, but it was not mentioned amid the demands for justice at the inquiry. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Owner defends hedge deemed a hazard by the city KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The city is ordering a Thulin Street homeowner to cut down a “beautiful” hedge that city staff say is a safety hazard. Staff sent a letter to the homeowner on Jan. 13 ordering the hedge be cut down to a height of no more than one metre. The homeowner did not comply with the 30 day timeline, however, and at Monday’s council meeting, council approved a remedial action notice against the property which allows the city to go onto the property and complete the work at the homeowner’s expense. The owner of the property, Steve Mitchell, was at Monday’s council meeting and told council the hedge was approved by the city several years ago. “In 2004 we were granted a permit to fill in the 3rd Avenue ditch line, which we did, at which time we talked with city staff and got a permit to plant the hedge where we indeed planted it,” said Mitchell, adding that the city imposed conditions that the hedge not be more than five metres tall and remain in the area where

it was originally planted – all conditions Mitchell said he has abided by. He asked council Monday if there was a grandfather clause, a variance or some other “fair and equitable solution” that could be worked out. Mitchell said a sprinkler system is already in place and cutting the hedge so drastically would affect the entire hedge which runs along the corner of Thulin and 3rd Avenue. “It’s a major inconvenience,” he said. C ou n c i l t h a n k e d Mitchell for his input and questioned whether staff had met with Mitchell to try and reach a compromise. City Clerk Peter Wipper said there is no compromise when it comes to safety. “A s a v e h i c l e approaches an intersection, it needs sufficient sight distance in order to see oncoming traffic,” Wipper said. “In this particular case, because the hedge is situated outside the property line, it doesn’t meet those requirements and that corner would have to be taken off. “I can tell you that both engineering and bylaw staff have looked at this property very carefully.

keeps his property up exceptionally well, it’s a beautiful hedge,” Wipper added. “The last thing we want to do is see it cut back but at the same time we’re also concerned about the safety of the intersection, ensuring we don’t have any possible accidents there.” C oun. R on Ker r agreed that while the hedge is in good condition, at the same time it’s compromising traffic safety. “I’m just looking at it on Google street view right now,” Kerr said at Monday’s council meeting. “It is a beautiful hedge but it is a significant infringement on the view lines and I know personally if you cut it back, there’s seri-

ous work that’s going to need to be done on it (but) it’s definitely a safety issue at this point.” Despite that, Wipper said staff have made an effort to keep the cut required down to the very minimum. “Our engineering staff…did everything they could to possibly reduce that cut,” said Wipper, adding that the city’s transportation specialist determined that pruning to the extent required by the city’s

THANK YOU! July 22nd - 24th saw the staging of Campbell River’s fifth annual arts festival. This year the event was expanded to include a three day Festival Gallery hosted at the Community Centre, as well as the customary Saturday Street Market.

Thank You! 3X6

The Campbell River Midget Tyees want to send a huge thank you to the businesses and people of Campbell River for their generous support of our trip to Prince George for baseball Provincials last weekend. We had a great time and played well, winning 3/5 games! Thanks to the 22 family (parents, grandparents and cousin) members who travelled to Prince George to cheer us on. Special thanks go out to:

bylaw wasn’t necessary to sufficiently mitigate the hazard. Wipper said while there is no compromise on the safety of the intersection, staff is open to speaking with Mitchell about what he was told in 2004 concerning the planting of the hedge. In the meantime, according to the remedial action approved by council, Mitchell has 30 days to prune the hedge unless a solution can be reached.

PROCESS

The event relies heavily on the volunteers and sponsors for its success, without them the festival couldn’t take place. Our biggest thanks go to the countless volunteers who gave their time, energy and commitment to making sure that the festival was built, ran smoothly and was dismantled over the three days. It is impossible to name each individual but you know who you are and please know that your efforts were greatly appreciated. To our sponsors we say thank you for the financial support that enabled us to provide the structure, the performing artists and so much more. Of course we mustn’t forget the contributing artists and artisans who provided all the visual delights through a wide range of artistic endeavours that confirms the terrific talent there is in the area. Finally our thanks to the youngsters who took on the challenge to name and to colour thefestival fairy (although some commented it was more like a troll than a fairy!). The winners of the competition were Kristin Campbell (age 10) for colouring the fairy and Stella Nadler (age 6) who gave the name “Fairy Rainbow”. We hope that everyone who came enjoyed the event and we hope to see you again next year when we will be doing it all again.

Thank You

Pros and cons to detox cleanse diets Detox diet adherents tout the benefits of cleansing their bodies. The detox craze can be confusing, and misinformation regarding the best way to proceed with a cleanse only illustrates the emphasis men and women considering detox diets must place on learning as much about them as possible. Detoxing involves changing one's diet for a predetermined period of time for the purpose of ridding the body of unhealthy, potentially toxic substances. While there may be some immediate weight loss associated with detoxing, losing weight is not the main purpose of detoxing. Men and women have various detox options to choose from, including some that target specific areas of the body or others that aim to improve overall health. Detox diets tend to be restrictive diets, which may not make them practical for everyone -

particularly those who may have health ailments or specific dietary needs. Consult with a physician prior to beginning a detox diet to ensure it will not interfere with any treatments. In addition, it can help to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of detox diets to determine if doing a cleanse is the right choice for you. Pros · Eliminate poor eating habits: Cleanses may help you to take better inventory of your eating habits and encourage you to make healthy choices in the process. Detox diets require that their adherents eliminate particular foods for a period of time, and in many instances, these off-limits foods are overly processed items that may not be the best food choices in the first place. · Increase vitality and energy levels: Detox diets can sometimes increase one's energy and stamina. This can translate into Suffering from: Back Pain, Sciatica and Muscle Pain, Shoulder and Neck Pain; Gastrointestinal Complaints, Asthma, Allergies?

Eating cleanly is about selecting the healthiest options in each of the food groups. You may be exposed to new ingredients and discover healthy options you love. · Benefit the immune system: You may find that healthy eating has positive effects on your immune system. This may make it easier to fend off illnesses or improve recovery time on those occasions when you get sick.

Cons · Potential for nutrient deficiency: Restrictive eating may deprive the body of certain nutrients it needs to remain in optimal shape. Nutrient deficiency can be dangerous, so it's important to proceed with caution. · Weight loss concerns: If your goal is to lose weight, do not expect

detox diets alone to produce permanent weight loss. Many people experience weight gain after they stop a detox, says the health resource Everyday Home Remedy. Weight loss is better achieved gradually and through consistent healthy eating and exercise than through a cleanse. · Potential to overextend detox diets: Some people extend a detox for longer than is recommended in an effort to experience greater gains. They may feel that two or three weeks of a cleanse may be doing more good than simply one week. This is not a good idea because you can deprive your body of the balance of foods it needs to thrive. Detox diets can be short-term dietary options that bring about renewed vigor and health. Speak with a doctor and nutritionist to determine if a cleanse is best for you.

Functional Laboratory Testing Submitted by Dr. Nathan Jeffery, ND Perceptive Health Naturopathic Medicine

Laboratory testing is a very important tool for the screening of major illnesses and disease. Most health care providers use these tests as part of their general health assessments. Naturopathic doctors also use them to provide other useful information on how well the body is functioning. This is called functional lab testing. Functional lab testing allows one to evaluate for underlying imbalances interfering with optimal functioning. When viewed from this perspective even results that would be otherwise considered normal may provide useful information. Iron deficiencies, B vitamin and folic acid deficiencies, inflammation and much more can be uncovered by connecting symptoms with functional patterns on standard blood reports. This can also help focus treatment and assist in narrowing down the many factors involved in chronic health problems. Functional laboratory analysis provides clues into nutritional deficiencies, metabolic function and to monitor inflammation. This makes it a valuable tool for wellness care and can be used to optimize health. Common lab tests that can be assessed from a functional perspective include the complete blood count (CBC), comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP), thyroid and cholesterol blood tests. Since these tests are commonly ordered by all health care providers, chances are you have a recent one available.

We ask ourselves what is life about? We retire or lose a loved one, life can feel empty. Submitted by Josie Coak, Charcare Working in the community with the elderly/retired people, I often meet lonely, isolated people who need a link to the outside, a way beyond their front doors. They want to stay connected to others, but have a limited circle of contacts. Feeling alone can make everything appear more difficult. Social interaction helps reduce this feeling of isolation and, it helps you maintain a healthy, happier outlook on life. Something as simple as meeting over a cup of tea, or ARE YOU NOT FEELING WELL AND DON’T KNOW WHERE TO START? Give yourself a new lease on life. Identify and eliminate foods to which you are sensitive. Feel renewed!

We offer a non-invasive way to identify foods that may be producing a variety of health problems such as fatigue, headaches, low mood, irritable bowel syndrome, memory problems, behavioral problems and weight management. Appointments for testing can be booked directly with our technician. Give us a call to learn more about your natural healthcare options.

a friendly phone chat to see how the week is going can help you feel less alone. Would you like a short shopping excursion, or a visit to the library? I can help with that, and I'm working to create more group social options as well. Are there activities you'd like to see in place? Call me at 778-346-4446 and together we can create opportunities to get past the isolation barrier.

stops on their tour. They were in town this week and invited the community to paint tiles for our community’s contribution to the project, which was unveiled Wednesday. “Our goal with this project is to go from coast to coast, from Vancouver Island to Prince Edward Island, stopping in communities along the way, making a mural within each of those communities that represents each of those communities,” Alain says. Like Campbell River’s mural, each mosaic represents the community in which it is created and depicts a train car. When they are all put together, they will make up a train representing the nation – which is fitting, as the murals themselves are made up of individual works of art put together to make one larger piece. Each mosaic takes about 500 tiles to create, so they invited the community itself to paint them, after which the artists organized and placed them in the eight foot by eight foot mural. Riverites who painted tiles for the mural join the likes of Canadian celebrities like Jann Arden, Rick Mercer and

ON THE BOARD OF VARIANCE

Members of the public are invited to apply to serve on the Board of Variance, an independent panel of five members appointed by Council to consider minor variances from the City’s Zoning Bylaw. Appeals to the Board are generally made by homeowners or developers when compliance with a minor aspect of Zoning Bylaw (such as a side yard setback) would cause “hardship” to the applicant. Why join the Board? This is an opportunity to play a role in land use decision making in Campbell River. No specific knowledge or qualifications are required, but an interest in civic governance and land use regulations is important. The Board meets when applications are received, typically 4 to 10 times a year. Criteria for membership on the Board includes being available to meetings during working hours, with at least 10 days’ notice. Meetings generally last no longer than an hour. During a meeting, the Board will consider whether the application is “minor” and whether “hardship” is evident, and will either deny or approve an application. The Board hears representations from an applicant and/or their neighbours before making a decision. City staff provide administrative and technical support. The term for this position will commence October 1, 2016 through to March 31, 2019. Questions? Please contact Tracy Bate, Deputy City Clerk at 250-286-5705 or email tracy.bate@campbellriver.ca Information and applications are at City Hall or at www.campbellriver.ca Apply today! Deadline is 4:30 PM Monday, August 22, 2016

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Brendan Hoff won the Junior Men’s 1,500m in Edmonton early in July at the National Championships.

or Brendan Hoff, running is life, and it is paying off. In 2015 he represented Team Canada in the World Youth Championship, placing 14th. Later that year he won the 3,000m national championship. This year Hoff was the B.C. high school champion in the 1500 m and the 3,000 m and just last month he won the Junior National 1,500 m race in Edmonton. Hoff has been running since he was nine. “It’s hard to pinpoint what got me hooked but for sure one of the things is the challenge of pushing myself to my limits,” he said. He started in Campbell River at Carihi before moving to Victoria for his final two years oh high school to run with the Reynolds Secondary Roadrunners and train with Team Canada Coach Heather Hennigar. This fall he will be running with the UVic Vikes men’s Track and Field Team. Throughout his years on the track, Hoff has always had older athletes to look up too as well as role models like Nick Symmonds, a decorated American middle-

distance runner, and Cam Levins, a Canadian distance runner from Campbell River who competed in the 2012 Olympics and holds the Canadian indoor 5,000 m record as well as the outdoor 10,000 m record. “My parents have been supporting me every step of the way and guided on my path through the early stages of my career,” he said. “My coach Heather Hennigar has also been a huge part of my life, without her guidance and coaching I wouldn’t be were I am today.” Hoff said he thinks his success comes from his work ethic and dedication. “At this level a second can make the biggest difference,” he said. “So staying focus, on task and selfdisciplined has kept me on task and given me an advantage over my competitors.” He trains at least twice a day and lifts weights every second day. Depending on where he is in his season, he will run between 10 and 20 km a day. For aspiring runners, Hoff recommends having fun and not rushing into long distances right away. “Ease your way into running more and longer, make it enjoyable,” he said.

Mosquito AA Tyees end the season with a berth in provincials The Campbell River Mosquito AA Tyees recently came in second place in the Island Regionals in Chemainus, BC to qualify for the Provincial Championship in Surrey, B.C., held July 29 – 31. The Mosquito AA Tyees lost a few close games, one to Port Coquitlam by a score of 7-6 and one to Newton by a score of 18-16, keeping them from qualifying for the finals. They truly showcased their baseball skills in the skills

competition, however, which was held after the opening ceremonies. During the skills competition Hunter Auramenko, Zach Auramenko, Beau Murray and Eric Schulz won gold in the Around the Horn competition, Zach Auramenko, Ahron Calalay, Kanoah Sequeira, Spencer Uzzell-Paulos and Adin Vipond won the silver in the base running competition and Aiden Carter, Wyatt Irvine, Marcus Petersen and Haydn West grabbed the bronze in the rocket relay.

How do you avoid letting a course you’ve never played before get the better of you? “I’m a planner, so I take at the very least five or 10 minutes to look it up on the Internet and figure out what I’m getting myself into,” says Jason Tchir, head pro and general manager of Quadra Golf, who is intimately familiar with people playing a course for the first time, since his track has only been open for five years. “Then once I roll up to the golf course, what’s big for me is to get onto the practice green and hit some putts.” The speed and undulation of greens vary so much from one course to the next, he says, and so many strokes can be gained or lost on the greens, that it’s a relatively quick way to get lose some of the disadvantage of being a newbie somewhere. “Having that upper hand, knowing how quick the greens are going to roll, how much break there is relative to how much break there looks like there is, that’s key to me,” he says. He also recommends chatting to the staff, because they will obviously know the course and may be able to give you a few tips for how to get around it efficiently. “Here at Quadra, for example, people will go around nine holes and then go to do their back nine knowing there were so many holes they didn’t need to hit driver on,” he says. “It looks like you do, but the trees and doglegs seem to get a little closer to you once your ball is in mid-air. So a little bit of insight from some of the staff or members that can say, you know, you don’t have to pull driver on number one, number two and number six, despite what it looks like.” But other than showing up early to get a feel for the greens and talking to those in the know, the one thing you can do to set yourself up for a decent round on a course you’ve never played before is dial back and play smart. “You don’t want to necessarily attack a course you’ve never played,” Tchir says. “Even with all the knowledge you can gain from the staff and regulars, and being told what to do – and what not to do – on certain holes, you never know how a course is going to react to your particular game, so to speak, until you get out and play it.” So the key to not letting a new course demolish your scorecard is to go easy on it. “Focus on hitting fairways and greens,” Tchir says. “I mean, whether you’re new to a course or not, that’s a pretty good piece of advice for making your way around a course in the fewest possible number of strokes, but it’s especially true if you don’t know where the misses are.” Most importantly, Tchir says, don’t let a bad round at a new course get you down. “I let a bad round motivate me to get back out there and get back at the course for doing that to me,” he says with a laugh, “and I think that’s a good attitude to have when you’re not happy with your score at the end of a round, no matter where you are playing.”

CAMPBELL RIVER SPECIAL OLYMPICS

Howie Meeker Golf Classic Annual fundraiser being held Aug. 20 at Storey Creek Golf Course benefits Campbell River’s Special Olympics program. As part of an ongoing series, the Mirror introduces another one of our wonderful Special Olympians.

JOCELYN DOLL CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

atrick Jules is a Special Olympian who’s smile is known for melting icebergs. Maureen Hunter, Campbell River Special Olympics coordinator, said he is one of the most enthusiastic athletes on the team. Not only is he always willing and interested in playing, he is also very helpful to the coaches, she said. Jules swims as well as plays baseball and floor hockey, but Hunter said he shines the most in basketball. “I try the best I can,” Jules said. Through Special Olympics, Jules has had the chance to travel to places he may not have been able to otherwise. Hunter figures that a highlight for him was seeing a Canucks game. Jules’ enthusiasm is contagious, and Hunter said he often helps out the younger athletes with drills. Jules will be caddying at the upcoming Howie Meeker Golf Classic, and he is looking forward to it.

Opinion

another seven day race. I am not as fit as i was ten years ago, but I’m feeling pretty good. Now that it’s completed and a year of training is behind me, my brain says ease off the cycling and rest for a few months, maybe the whole winter, but my heart says step on the gas, now is the time to push even harder. I swore to myself that this was my last big race and I was adamant about the decision up to about the half way point, then I started thinking about how training just a bit more would give me a shot at a podium finish, maybe even the top step. Last night I was telling a bunch of buddies that if they do the BC Bike Race I will travel with them for mechanical support, but even as I was saying it I was thinking I’d rather race with them than watch them. I truly do have good intentions of slowing down and smelling the roses, but like any addict, rational thoughts don’t often prevail. So today lets just say I am retired as a racer, but I think I’ll keep training...you know, just to be safe.

“It’s going to be fun,” he said.

On any given day, those fishing for pink salmon are out in full force lining the banks of the Campbell River throwing out lures and flies in hopes of catching a fish. And the fun will continue as more pinks are anticipated to enter the river. The numbers are down from last year but those who have been angling in the upper pools have caught and released as many as 25 fish per day. Most of the fly action is located between the bridges in Campbell River and as you drive across the bridge going to Sayward, the fly fishers are lined up and casting their flies in the waist deep flowing water. Heading west to Gold River the Sandy pool is active and the action can be amusing as anglers can be shoulder to shoulder. When a salmon is hooked, the rest of the crowd will make room for the fish to be banked and bonked. Those fishing will cast out pink lures or jigs and a few will cast out a pink fly. A fly that has worked for me is tied on a number 12 extra long hook. I tie mylar pearl tubing

– available at most tackle shops – on the body, leave a quarter inch up front, then tie in deer hair and trim the hair and go fishing. In general, if the fish are in, almost any fly will work if passed in front of their nose but this year you might have to work at it and try to cover as much water as possible. The pinks are reported to be smaller this year but anglers have written in to the Fishing Corner with catch reports at five pounds and a few

close to seven pounds. I had a chance to get to Browns Bay and the report was that the big fish are in and in the areas north of Browns Bay, the fish have been caught in good size. The Green Can has been active with Tyees coming in close to 35 pounds and lots in the mid 20s. Bruce Aikman rowed Racho Jordanov in the Tyee Pool and Aug. 2 and got a 34.5 pound Tyee. Bruce spends countless hours on the water and has many years of experience guiding in Campbell River. Last year in the Tyee Pool, 15 Tyee were brought in and in 2014, a total of nine Tyee were caught. If anyone thinks you can’t catch salmon off the Discovery Pier, then go tell that to Todd Bergen who got a 19, 37 and 10 pound salmon last week. Trout fishing has been good at Echo Lake but better fishing will be better with the cooler weather ahead. Courtenay has Maple Lake and Port Alberni has Loon Lake, which are stocked annually.
