This past weekend has been the hottest on record in the last 10 years. According to Environment Canada’s statistics, last Thursday’s high of 33.5 degrees is the hottest in Campbell River in the last 10 years, beating even Aug. 18 of 2014 and that month has the highest average temperature on record in the last 10 years. The forecast for the upcoming week is rivalling those numbers. In 2014, the average high was 26.2 and the average low was 12.2. So far this month, the average high has been 25.3 and the average low has been 12.5. This comes following the second coldest July, on average, since 2011. The average high for the month was 22.5. The average high in 2011 was 19.9. With this heat came an Islandwide fire ban that included the City of Campbell River imposing an internal ban. As of Tuesday, six days after the city’s fire ban was put in place, the Campbell River Fire Department had responded to 19 incidences of fires, beach fires or smoke.

Chief welcomes opportunity to clear the air ALISTAIR TAYLOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Wei Wai Kum Chief Bob Pollard is confident a review of band expenditures will satisfy all parties that the band is opearting in a fair and democratic manner. “We welcome the arbitration review, the INAC review and any process that will satisfy all parties that the band is operating in a fair and democratic manner and that councillors are fulfilling their role to represent the best interests of the membership as a whole,” Pollard said in an Aug. 24 letter to Wei Wai Kum First Nation members, a copy of which was sent to the Mirror. Pollard was responding to a petition that has

gathered enough signatures to prompt a review of the actions of Councillor Jason Price under the band’s election code. Chris Drake launched the petition to force an investigation into the actions of Jason Price, accusing him of “taking payments for his own benefit.” The petition states, “Whereas, the Petitioner, Christopher Drake, asserts that elected Councillor Jason Price has acted in a manner contrary to Sections 54(a), (c), (d), (f), and (g) of the Wei Wai Kum Election Code and contrary to his ethical and fiduciary obligations to the Nation and the Band Council, the Petitioner requests that the process pursuant to Section

55 of the Election Code be commenced for the removal of Councillor Price.” It continues: “This Petition asserts that Councillor Price breached his oath of office, the Election Code, and his ethical obligations, and otherwise abused his office by taking payments for his own benefit.” The allegations stated in the petition have not been proven or substantiated by an arbitrator or other adjudication process. Pollard said he has received notice that there are the necessary number of signatures on a petition to trigger a review of Price’s role as a councillor. As of the writing of the letter, Pollard hadn’t received the

actual petition. “I welcome this opportunity to bring this matter to a conclusion just as I welcome a review of our band’s expenditures of federal funds that will be conducted next week by a representative of INAC (Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada),” he says in the letter. “Our own thorough investigation of this matter included in-depth interviews with all the involved parties (contrary to a statement in today’s paper), a review of our internal records, and legal opinions provided by two lawyers who worked independently of each other. This investigation found no evidence whatsoever of wrongdoing by Jason – or anyone else. We

welcome the arbitration review, the INAC review and any process that will satisfy all parties that the band is operating in a fair and democratic manner and that councilors are fulfilling their role to represent the best interests of the membership as a whole.”

The Aug. 24 story about the Price petition had a picture of the Wei Wai Kum First Nation offices accompanying it. The office building was built by Ketza Pacific Construction and the Mirror would like to clarify that the use of the office building was not meant to imply that Ketza Pacific or the band office project was connected to the controversy in any way. It was used as a landmark symbol of the First Nation.

“One could have been a significant event off of Jubilee and Dogwood about 300 metres into the brush there that we were fortunate to locate and get to before anything got too serious,” said Thomas Doherty, deputy fire chief. “People are getting the message. People see smoke they call right away which is a good thing.” Despite the fire ban, there are still fun options in the area to get out and enjoy the weather. An informal survey of suggestions to keep cool conducted by this writer – a recently transplanted Albertan – found the majority of people recommending McIvor Lake. The opportunity to snag your own section of sandy beach is enticing. Even if you can’t, there is lots of beach, and even more water, to go around. Other highly recommended options, if you have a little more time

to travel, are Buttle Lake, Morton Lake and Brewster Lake. There is also a good place to swim at the Quinsam day use area. If you’re in for more of an adventure, try to find the Quinsam potholes. As the water goes over the rocks it gets nice and warm, and the little waterfalls and mild current mean there is something for everyone to explore and swim. I’ve heard there are also pot-

holes on the Oyster River that come highly recommended. If waterfalls are your thing, I’ve been told to take a dip at Nymph Falls on the Puntledge River just off of Forbidden Plateau Road. For those attached to the beach, Saratoga is my personal favourite, though Miracle Beach is a good option. And if swimming isn’t your thing, keep cool just

floating along the river in either Campbell River or Courtenay if you want to get out of town for the day. There are of course other options to beat the heat. Exploring the Upana Caves near Gold River will keep you out of the sun for awhile. But at the end of the day ice cream will make or break any great adventure and Discovery Pier is always a good bet for scenery and ice cream.

Proposed crackdown on nuisance odour could hurt city’s image, staff warn

City staff is recommending council approve a bylaw that would outlaw nuisance odours. The regulations, if approved by city council, would ban every owner or operator of a commercial or industrial business from discharging or emitting a nuisance odour at a level two or greater, as determined by the city bylaw officer. Under the bylaw, nuisance odour would include any odour in the air that is “harmful, poisonous, disgusting, repulsive, very unpleasant, offensive or interferes with the use or enjoyment of property, endangers personal health or safety, or is offensive to the senses and causes inconve-

per said. “In addition to installation costs, there would be annual operating costs to clean/replace filters in the amount of $10,000.” Wipper said those kind of costs could make it challenging for a place like Dick’s to comply with the bylaw. “It is not known if Dick’s (or any small restaurant) could afford those costs and still remain profitable,” Wipper said. “The proposed odour regulations have the potential to financially impact a wide range of commercial and industrial operations and have the potential to scare off potential business investment.” Wipper said the bylaw, if approved, could also open a Pandora’s box. “If council were to adopt new odour regulations, then the city could expect to receive other similar complaints,” Wipper said. “ The smell from medicinal grow-ops, brew pubs and coffee roasting companies are well documented in other cities.” The bylaw is expected to go back before council at its next meeting, which is Sept. 6, when it will once again be up for first and second reading.

Changes coming to policy at City Hall NDP slams ferry affordability during Ferries AGM KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

City council is moving forward with a list of changes to its public meetings, including cutting the amount of time given to presentations from the community in half. At its Monday meeting, council gave third reading – one step away from adoption – to amendments that will limit how long and when public delegations will appear. Once approved, the bylaw changes will reduce the current 10-minute time frame given to public presentations to five minutes. Council would set aside 30 minutes at the beginning of the meeting to listen to as many delegations as possible and if at the end of that half hour there are delegations still left to present, they will be moved to the end of the meeting. City Clerk Peter Wipper said by moving to that system, it gives council more time to focus on its own business. “A fundamental tenet of any meeting agenda should be to debate priority issues first,” Wipper said. “This way

council has sufficient time to devote to its strategic priorities. Council should not be placed in a position of having to rush important decisions at the end of a meeting because of the time taken by delegations at the beginning of a meeting.” Wipper added that city staff has reviewed past presentations to council and has come to the conclusion that almost all could easily present and make their requests in less than five minutes. In an effort to make presentations more efficient, anyone wanting to appear before council will have to complete an application form with their name, the name of the organization their representing and their position in the organization (if applicable), as well as their topic and discussion points, and the action requested of council. In addition to those time saving measures, council is also attempting to reduce the number of people who absolutely have to address council by not requiring every person who applies for a development permit to present. Instead, development

applicants and/or their representative will only be allowed to address council if city staff is recommending that council deny their land use development application, or it has received some other negative recommendation. At Monday’s council meeting, council was prepared to sign off on the changes but not before first checking on some of the finer details. Mayor Andy Adams noted that a section in the bylaw states that, “the city clerk shall set and prepare an agenda of all business to be brought before council at the meeting.” Adams questioned whether that should instead include the mayor. “I know this is near and dear to Councillor (Charlie) Cornfield’s supportive comments but it is saying that the agenda, that it is the clerk that provides approval of the agenda and I’m wondering whether that should be the CAO and the mayor?” Adams asked. Coun. Cornfield agreed. “Yes, near and dear to my heart is correct,” Cornfield said. “I think yes the clerk should put the

Gardens manager retires Strathcona Gardens is getting a new facility manager. Yves Bienvenu, the current manager, is retiring from the position. The Strathcona Gardens Commission, at its meeting last week, thanked Bievenu for his years of service and wished him well with his future endeavours. Bienvenu has been the facility man-

ager since 2014, when he took over the role from Josie Rohne who also retired. The Strathcona Regional District has hired Koreen Gurak to take over the reins from Bienvenu. Gurak previously worked for the Comox Valley Regional District and most recently served as manager of community engagement and education for that regional district.

agenda together and collate it, I think it should be up to yourself (the mayor), working with the CAO, to approve it. It’s a good system that works. If there’s an urgent matter, I think the mayor should be apprised of it. You are our CEO.” City Manager Deborah Sargent confirmed for council that what Cornfield said was correct – while it is in the clerk’s job description to prepare the agenda, the mayor still gets to sign off on it. “That’s a typical duty of the city clerk to actually prepare the agenda, they’re essentially the business agent of the city,” Sargent said. “I think the question you’re asking though, does the CAO and mayor have insight and input into the agenda? “Absolutely, but it is the city clerk’s function to actually prepare the agenda and all the business to be brought forward to council for the meeting.” Adams thanked Sargent for the clarification and council subsequently went ahead with approving third reading of the procedural changes.

Christy Clark’s B.C. Liberal government has made ferries unaffordable for coastal British Columbians, says New Democrat spokesperson on ferries Claire Trevena. “British Columbians are being squeezed by the Christy Clark government every which way they turn. The B.C. Ferries annual report shows that a decade of fare hikes and mismanagement has left coastal residents footing the bill to keep our province’s ferry system afloat,” Trevena says. Trevena made the statements while attending the B.C. Ferries Annual General Meeting in Vancouver where the company’s annual report was formally tabled. “It was quite incredible to listen to the head of B.C. Ferries stand up and say in his speech that fare affordability is important, considering the devastating fare hikes British Columbians have faced in the last decade under this government,” Trevena says. “The B.C. Liberals are sending British Columbians a big-

ger bill for the vital services they rely on. It’s not just ferries: people are facing huge hikes to hydro rates, hikes to ICBC rates, hikes to medical services premiums, and rising tuition fees and childcare costs under Premier Christy Clark. At the same time, rents and home prices are spiraling out of control.” Trevena says that over the last decade, the B.C. Liberals drove up fares repeatedly, making ferries less accessible to the people who need them. The B.C. Ferries annual report shows that ferry users are footing the entire bill for the operations and maintenance of our ferries through their fares, which shows the government is not treating our ferries as the marine highways that they are. “Ferries are an essential transportation corridor for people who live on the coast. Christy Clark doesn’t get it. “She’s more concerned about her friends and fundraisers than she is about affordability for the people of B.C.”

All Kindergarten students will come to school with their parents for at least one hour on September 6. After the first day of school, Kindergarten students will then come to school in small groups, based on a schedule developed by the teacher. Students will have the opportunity to get to know their teacher, as well as some of their classmates, classroom routines and some key school staff. Schools will advise the parents/guardians of registered students of their dates and times for their gradual entry days. All Kindergarten students will be in regular daily attendance no later than Friday, September 16. Some schools may be able to start sooner than this, depending on the numbers of Kindergarten students and school contexts. Should a family wish a longer gradual entry for their child, parents are encouraged to meet with the child’s teacher and the school principal to discuss required adaptations. Please call your child’s school starting August 29 for further information.

Fully, Completely in our hearts forever I was rushing to get us on the 2:30 ferry from Horseshoe Bay so that we could be back on the Island and hopefully most of the way home before the concert started. We didn’t make it, but thankfully there was a 3:10 departure, which meant, at least in theory, that we would be at least most of the way home before it started and could catch the start of it on the radio in the car, and watch the rest of it on TV once we pulled in. Then we had to take a detour – yes, the ferry took a detour – to investigate a report of a boat on fire. But I was back in the car with the radio on, tuned into the CBC, before 5:30 p.m. when Gordie and the boys took the stage – if only barely. In the weeks leading up to the show, I thought about skipping it altogether. I really did. Some part of me thought that somehow, by not watching or listening to the final Tragically Hip concert, it

MUSINGS Mike Davies

The Olympic Games don’t end with a gold-medal victory or even closing ceremonies. At their best, the Olympics don’t ever end – they pass the torch. We marvelled at what our Canadian athletes were able to do, but the very best outcome of the Olympics is what they could inspire any of us to do. Canadian sports heroines and heroes were created this month in Rio de Janeiro. True, they were already heroes, in a way, but the Olympic competitions created a connection with Canadians; we were able to share in the triumphs of our athletes. That connection will fade now that the closing ceremonies have happened, but it will endure in some significant ways. We know there are children here who were engrossed watching the gymnastics or track and field, for example, and ran out into their backyard afterward to imitate the competitions, and are now needling their parents to sign them up with their local clubs. We know there are kids who wouldn’t normally sit down and watch an NHL game, but cheered themselves hoarse over a swim race. By providing exposure to a host of different games and competitions, the Olympics can offer alternative perspectives about sport and what it means to play. It’s meaningful, too, that our country’s female Olympians were so successful, winning the first 12 medals for Canada. With girls and women still accounting for just 42 per cent of sports participation in B.C., it’s important to find ways to get them in the game and maybe wrapping up sports in a package of high stakes, high emotion and national pride can be a motivator. Canada’s Olympians had us on the edge of our seats and maybe they can get us right up out of those seats, active, fit and healthy. We may not be able to emulate their exploits, but we can be inspired by them. As long as there are Olympics, we will need representatives to carry the torch, pass the baton, bear the flag. Who will they be? We look forward to finding out. -Black Press

pondering the endlessness of the stars. But thanks to you, we’ve all squeezed the stick and we’ve all pulled the trigger, collectively, as a nation – even those of us who weren’t around for the goal you were singing about. We’ve dreamed of impossible vacations and gotten all teary from the wind. We’ve been a polar bear at the Central Park Zoo. And now, here we all are, still having no simple explanation for anything important, following the unknown. But thanks to you and this 15-show, cross-Canada farewell tour – and the concert we watched last Saturday where a 52-year-old man with terminal brain cancer fought for 30 songs with a teleprompter so he could read his own words to celebrate Canada one more time instead of being surrounded by nurses and doctors in a bed somewhere – we’ve truly seen Courage. And Grace, Too.

available for their child, which can be frustrating. In an attempt to alleviate some of that frustration, the Government of B.C. is reminding parents and caregivers that there is an online interactive map available through the Ministry of Children and Family Development website that can, as the ministry says, “take the guesswork out of searching.” The map has tags for more than 4,500 licensed child-care facilities across the province, including more than 30 in the Campbell River area, where those looking for care can see, at a glance, whether a facility has spaces available – and for which ages of children – what programs and services they offer, and even get access to past health inspection reports for those facilities to ensure they are somewhere they will be comfortable leaving their child. Spaces are filling quickly, however, especially in the elementary-school age categories. As of Aug. 24, the Mirror only found three

childcare facilities on the Campbell River map with the word “yes” in the “Availability” section beside the age category “Grade 1 to Age 12.” Other child care tools are also available through various ministry websites, including a guide for selecting and monitoring child care to help parents and caregivers decide what kind of child-care arrangements best suit their needs, put out by the Ministry of Health. This guide outlines the differences between licensed and unlicensed daycares, the factors to consider when choosing a facility or provider, tips on making your child’s transition to child care successful and how best to monitor a provider’s performance. There is also a section in the guide about different forms of financial support available for those who need it. A link to this guide, along with a link to the interactive child care availability map is available within this story at campbellrivermirror. com

A unique summer job for some Island youth

Throughout the summer, young people have put their education to work while being a part of the Vancouver Island Conser vation Youth Crew, thanks to The Nature Trust of BC and program supporter HSBC Bank Canada. “I first became interested in the crew position when I saw a presentation at Vancouver Island University last September from a former participant,” said Jaylene Harper, Vancouver Island HSBC Conservation Youth Crew member. “It sounded like a lot of fun and I was immediately interested in being on the crew this summer in order to gain experience in the conservation world.” The Nature Trust of British Columbia hires young people each summer to tackle a wide variety of conservation activities on properties across the province and learn valuable skills for future employment. Training includes First Aid and Bear Aware as well as the safe handling of power tools.

“My favourite activity was a helicopter trip up Green Mountain, which is an important area for Vancouver Island Marmots. It was my first time in a helicopter which was very exciting, and we got to help restore marmot habitat in hopes of increasing their population,” said Harper. “Learning to identify certain plants, especially differentiating grasses, was one of the most difficult things we had to do.” The crews perform on-the-ground work as well as attending workshops from specialists in the field on topics such as bird counts, and forest and wetland ecology. They also contribute to the local community in a variety of ways. “We worked on restoring turtle habitat and nesting areas at Buttertubs Marsh in Nanaimo,” said Harper. “The turtles are important there, especially the native Western Painted Turtles, and people love seeing them. “I have learned a lot about the large number

of conservation areas The Nature Trust is responsible for, and how much work needs to go into preserving these lands and keeping them as natural as possible. I think it

is really important that these areas always exist, and The Nature Trust of BC does a good job at that,” added Harper. In 2016, HSBC Conservation Youth Crews are

operating on Vancouver Island, Lower Mainland, South Okanagan, and East Kootenay. This year The Nature Trust of British Columbia is celebrating 45 years

of land conservation. The organization is dedicated to protecting B.C.’s natural diversity of plants and animals through the acquisition and management of critical habitats.

Since 1971 The Nature Trust, along with its partners, has invested more than $80 million to secure over 71,000 hectares (175,000 acres) across British Columbia.

Big Rigs and Crash to Pass at Saratoga TERRY GUEST SPECIAL TO THE MIRROR

Future stars and the Olympian

The 2016 Future Stars Girls Ice Hockey Camp provided local athletes with a unique opportunity to learn from and interact with Olympic gold medalist Marie-Philip Poulin (centre, back row) at Strathcona Gardens recently. Poulin was a member of Canada’s gold medal winning women’s team at the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver and in 2014 in Sochi, Russia.

Bringing their A game

During the July “A” Cup Provincials held in Burnaby, the Upper Island U14 Boys Riptide soccer team brought home the gold medal and the Fair Play Award. Marine Harvest Riptide made it to the final with a 2-1 win versus Vancouver United, a 2-0 loss versus Delta Coastal Selects, and a 3-2 win against Surrey. In the final game, they were up against Delta who defeated them in game 2. It was time for retribution and the Riptide boys dug deep and came up with a great performance to defeat Delta 2-0.

Our Way is Your Way

The fan favorite Crash to Pass Boat race was on display for the sellout crowd on Saturday at Saratoga Speedway. Craig Gagne in his Mad Max car would be declared the winner after the almost 10-minute race, as he barely edged out Billy Brimacombe Jr. to take home his first ever Boat Race win. The Hornet cars and the Galaxy Motors Mad Max cars were also on the card, with Bailey Western Sponsoring the night. To start the night, beautiful Big Rigs from across the Island made their way to the track to put on a truck parade and meet and greet for the fans. After the trucks finished their show, we would move right into heat race action which would see wins go to Danika Seggie, Kiana Westra, Michael White, Nigel Neufeld, Shawn Allen, Danielle Antonik, and Cory Sandirson. The first main event of the night would see Joshua McLellan dominate the Crash to Pass field. Mclellan, who was racing his first night in the Crash to Pass class, led all 10 laps to take home his first ever main event win. Next up, 22 Hornet B cars entered into a 25 lap main event. Brandon Carter would work his way to the front within

the first few laps and ended up pulling away from the pack from there, but Carter was penalized for jumping the start, making him a lap down and out of contention. That opened the door for Michael White who was patiently waiting back in second, not realizing his was actually in the lead. He would end up taking home the win. The 25 lap A main would see a very rough battle through out the race. Lots of cars jockeyed for positions early, but it would be Shawn Allen who made his way into the lead on lap 7 and he would not look back from there, holding on to take home his second main event win of the year. Finally in the Galaxy Motors Mad max main event, Danielle Antonik would once again find her way into the lead, making her move on lap 14 and not looking back from there, holding on to take home her second main event win of the year. E xtr a l aps...Ne x t weekend Saratoga presents the biggest open

wheel night of racing of the 2016 season sponsored by Thrifty Foods. The Wilroc Lite cars, Old Timers, Dwarf cars, I.M.C.A Modifieds and the Bomber cars will all be on the card Saturday. The Old Timers are the nicest looking cars you will see come to the Speedway, will body types ranging in years from the early 1930’s to 1940’s. So far them and the Dwarf cars have been rained out twice this year, so they will be itching to finally hit the Black Creek Oval. The Wilroc Lites are back for the last time this year. Their last race saw 16 cars make it on the track, with points leader Jeff Montgomery taking home the main event win. Our two local classes see tight points races going into the weekend. Travis Stevenson jumped into the points lead in the Modified division after last race, now leading Dano Bryant by 29 points. Darrel Larson holds the points lead over his nephew Boston in the Bomber class by 160 points.

GOLF Weekly Need a quick nine? 7x14 by Mike Davies, Campbell River Mirror

ENTER TO WIN

Campbell River sawyer Mike Bennett tees off on #3 at Saratoga Beach Golf Club on Wednesday evening.

The STOREY CREEK PRO SHOP has all the latest and greatest in golf equipment and will match any competitors price.

Special: ALL GOLF SHOES & BAGS

Why not throw your clubs in the trunk before you head to work one day next week, and after work, instead of heading straight home, head south on the old Island Highway for about 10 minutes, take a left after the Oyster River bridge and have a quick nine at Saratoga Beach Golf Club? The friendly staff at the clubhouse welcome you warmly before you head across the street and meander your way around the 2316 yards of parkland, hitting a ball once in a while, and sluffing off the stress of the day in an environment that truly knocks down the stereotype about golf being an elitist game for snobs. The course opens with a pair of short par-4s followed by a 140-ish-yard par-3, easing you into what is actually a more challenging (in a fun way) track than you might think, and which only takes about an hour to walk, so it’s great for those having a tough time finding five hours or more in their busy schedules to get out for a round. My personal favourite holes are #3 and #7, which are both short par-3s off elevated tee boxes that require careful consideration during club selection. Because the teebox (they’re actually on the same mound in the middle of the course) is somewhat sheltered from the wind by the surrounding trees, it’s important to have been paying attention to what your ball has been doing in the air so you know which way the wind is going over that treeline. A bad club selection on #3, particularly, can put you in a world of trouble, as anything long will likely find the bushes out of bounds, and anything short will leave you a tricky chip to get up and down for par. A reachable par-5 (for longer hitters), is a perfect ending to this course – especially if you popped down for a quick nine after work – as it allows you to take out any residual frustrations that haven’t been taken care of at that point by pulling out your driver and really letting loose. Be careful, though. There are houses backing on the right side of this hole, and any damages caused by errant shots – as with all courses – are the responsibility of the player. Oh, and if you don’t feel like playing an actual round – golf can be as stressful as work itself sometimes, after all – but just want to pound some golf balls, they have buckets of them at the range for as little as three bucks. I ripped down for nine holes on Wednesday after work, and the course is in better shape right now than I’ve ever seen it, so I will definitely be heading back a few more times over the next month or two when they close up for the winter.

This year when the Tour de Rock riders stop in Campbell River Teresa Olfert will be shaving her head. As a Boston Pizza employee she is already selling raffle tickets and collecting donations for the Cops for Cancer fundraiser, but this year she wanted to do

more. “I’m born and raised in Campbell River so I am planning on hitting up every person I’ve ever known.” she said. Olfert’s goal is to raise $3,000. Boston Pizza is raffling off a mountain bike, the tickets are $2 each and are available at the restaurant. When the riders come through town they will be feeding them as well as presenting

the cheque for the total amount of money they have raised. “It’ll be good I think once I get myself psyched up for it, it’s just hair,” Olfert said. The Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock team begins Sept. 24 and finishes Oct. 7. The strenuous cycling event sees over a hundred law enforcement and emergency services personnel from all over B.C. cycle Van-

ing back to see where the rest of the group went, only to find six riders almost running me over as they tried to half wheel the leaders. So we went faster. As we approached the most technical section of single track, we took a breather, but before I knew it someone in the back of the group was pushing us to go, so we went…as fast as we could (The fact that we saw a couple of buddies up ahead probably had nothing to do with it). It was not the ride I had planned for that night, but it was an awesome ride. We squeezed in more mileage than normal, lots of the group had their fastest trail times, and I’m sure everyone had a great sleep that night. I’m not sure why other riders do it, but for me I enjoy getting pushed to my limits, my ego likes to know that at 48 I can still keep up some of the time, and if you challenge me I have a lot of trouble not trying my hardest. As for why I initiate the half wheel once in a while, even as an old slow guy I still like to race a little…or maybe I’m just a $#i+ disturber. I’m James Durand and I’m Goin’ Ridin…

Run to support women set for Sept. 10 JOCELYN DOLL CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Shelagh Germyn started the Women for Women run/walk 13 years ago. Since she was raised by a single mom she understands the struggles women can face and wants to help. The course she mapped out was the route that she herself ran at the time, so she gathered a group of volunteers and started the event. “Because I run and that I wanted to contribute to the community,” she said. In the beginning all proceeds went to the NIC Foundation to be used as scholarship money for single moms so that they could go back to school. Now, since the event has grown, proceeds are divided between the foundation as well as the Campbell River Women’s Resource Centre, the Sexual Wellness and Education Society of Campbell River youth clinic, Palmer Place and Discovery Community College for continuing education. For the past couple years the event has drawn around 100 participants. It is family friendly and there are options for all levels of runners and walkers. The walk start is 9:30 a.m. and the runners go at 10 a.m. There is also a kids race starting around noon. Germyn hopes to see even more people out this year. “It’s about the cause and not the race,” she said.

MARS is building a hospital, recovery and rehabilitation centre for wildlife at a new site on the Old Island Highway at Williams Beach Road between Courtenay and Campbell River and they are asking for your support. Here are some of the ways you can help build the new MARS Wildlife Rescue Centre: ■ Bring your group together for a team building event and build a cage or recovery building for us. MARS will name the building for your organization. Their website describes the outbuildings needed and approximate costs; ■ Sponsor a wildlife recovery building that will adjoin the hospital and care facility; ■ Help to build a new home for one of our educational birds. An estimated 10,000 people will visit these “Ambassador” birds every year once they open the Education Centre at their new site; ■ Donate $5,000 and MARS will feature your organization on their sponsor sign at their new property, on our Facebook page and website, and in our newsletters and annual report; ■ Provide professional services, equipment, or building materials and they’ll recognize your generous gift valued at $5,000 or more across our various media platforms and on our highway sign; ■ Donate $1,000 and they’ll bring one of their ‘ambassador’ birds to your employee or customer events; ■ Join their 1250 Club. The core hospital building will cost $125,000 – and they are offering a square foot for $100. Consider ‘buying’ a square foot (or more) for your members or employees and receive a certificate that you can display as a proud supporter of the wildlife rescue centre. MARS is licensed and regulated to provide rescue, rehabilitation, recovery and release for injured and orphaned wildlife in central and northern Vancouver Island. At its current location since 1995, MARS must move. Due to generous benefactors and their own fundraising efforts, MARS is close to having enough money to build the wildlife hospital but they need your help. Join them in building this much needed new care facility for injured and orphaned wildlife here on Vancouver Island. If you have any questions, or to make your donation, contact Robert McLennan, MARS manager at 250-650-5724. And, to learn more about MARS, visit their website at www.wingtips.org.

Don Daniels As of Tuesday, August 23, two fish have been caught. The last fish was caught by rower and angler Norm Lee who landed a 34 pound Tyee on a plug. You can catch the rowers and anglers working the pool until Sept. 15.

The salmon fishing season in Campbell River continues to be spotty but some nice catches are being reported. The big fish can be hunted down especially by those trolling plugs and hoochies. There has been some local chatter of a 50 pound Tyee being caught but guides fishing out of Painters Lodge have confirmed reports of a 31.5 and 26 pound salmon caught in local waters and many salmon coming in the upper teens and mid 20s.

Two tailed salmon captures social media attention.

A fishing party just returned from Quatsino Sound where a 22 pound spring was caught. Since early June, fishing reports from guides said fishing was okay but they had to fish longer and get out farther to get the bite while fighting the waves and wind. For those that think casting lures off Discovery Pier for salmon is a joke tell that to Dave Wryghte who landed a 33 and 35 pound Tyee on Monday August 22 while Carey T. landed a 28.5 pound salmon the same day. In

the month of August seven Tyee have been weighed in and recorded. The best fishing seems to be in the early morning and if you are new to the area, rod rentals are available and you can get in on the action.

On the Campbell River, there are a number of pinks in and the fish count was 41 caught as reported by the creel survey officer who was talking with fly fishing anglers on the upper island pools last Sunday. Pinks are catch and release and fly fishing only.

At times the pier can be full of tourists visiting Campbell River and the local residents fish many hours each summer. It’s more than passing time, it’s a social gathering with bragging rights if they catch a salmon or a bottom fish. Late evening hours may be a good time to drive down to the Spit and watch the Tyee boats rowing back and forth in the pool in hopes of getting a fish exceeding 30 pounds.

I am seeing fewer anglers on the Campbell River this time of year probably because of the low numbers of pinks in the river.

Gear Up for SUMMER FUN!

The Eve River has a number of anglers fishing at the junction pool and last week a few were camped at the campsite. Pinks were coming in at 4.3 pounds and still had good colour. I was amazed of the clarity of the water and didn’t see much fishing pressure but it was in the middle of the week.
