Parts of the city smelled of smoke Wednesday morning – at one point an ominous black plume could be seen while driving down 2nd Ave. towards Dogwood. The source was a devastating house fire on the corner of Nikola Road and Forest Grove Drive in Quinsam Heights. “On arrival crews found a twostorey home well involved with fire on the rear side of the home on both floors,” said Chris Vrabel, deputy fire chief. “Our approach was defensive due to the amount of fire and the structure was compromised, preventing us from entering the structure.” When the Mirror arrived on the scene the flames had been extinguished but Vrabel said the Camp-

as 25 firefighters on location from the time the call was received, just before 8 a.m., until around 10:30 a.m. There was no one in the house at

the time of the fire and no injuries reported. Vrabel said they do not yet know the cause. “Because of the damage to the structure we need engineers and

everything before we can even get in and have a look, so it’s not going to be anytime soon,” he said. Nobody was hurt in the fire because the owners were away.

RCMP arrest another two males in connection with recent drug seizure JOCELYN DOLL/CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Mounties have put a dent in the encroachment of Lower Mainland drug traffickers on Campbell River with two more arrests last week. “C a m p b e l l R i v e r RCMP is very proud of the continued work done by our members to intercept the strong establishment of a drug trade,” said Const. Sara Clark, media relations officer for Campbell River RCMP. “All of the males arrested are from the Lower Mainland and their presence here was solely for the purposes of drug trafficking. Reducing the impact of drugs on our community is one of our detachment’s priorities. Focusing on trafficking has a trick-

ledown effect on other crimes such as property and violent offences that are commonly a result of addiction.” Campbell River Street Crime unit made the two arrests on Sept. 23 in connection with the arrest Sept. 20 of two males, Jitesh Vagh and Karalo Nadeau, involved in the drug trade. Gary Sandu and Rohit Kumar were arrested Sept. 23 after being found in possession of a large amount of drugs and cash during an interaction with the street crime unit. RCMP attended a local hotel to follow up with a traffic stop which was done by an officer the evening before. Upon attendance at the hotel room, the Street Crime Unit was greeted by

Kumar while a second male, Sandu ran out a rear exit. Sandu was intercepted by police after a brief foot chase. During the foot chase items were tossed aside which the chasing officer stopped to pick up as evidence. After the arrest of Sandu, Kumar was also arrested for possession of drugs for the purposes of trafficking. During a subsequent search of the area, another large amount of cash was located by officers. Search warrants were obtained on the hotel room and a vehicle belonging to the males, resulting in the seizure of more cash and drugs. The seizure of drugs and cash in all arrests, including the seizure of a vehicle, involved:

CHRISTMAS AT THE COAST

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A Conservation Officer is not happy he had to shoot a black bear in Willow Point Tuesday afternoon. “It’s exteremely disheartening,” Conservation Officer (CO) Steve Petrovcic said. “It’s one of those necessary evils that has to be done when the bear exhibits that behaviour.” The bear had been frequenting the Penfield school area the last two weeks. There had been numerous sightings by parents around the school and students had been on “lock down” a few times to avoid an encounter with the bear. Petrovcic said that, unfortunately, not all the residents in the area had been utilizing best “bear aware” practices. On tours around the neighbourhood, he frequently saw garbage cans set out the night before pick up day, garbage on property and fruit hanging from trees or scattered on the ground and not picked up. It’s particularly disappointing to have to destroy a bear, Petrovcic said, when these situations can be avoided. “When we have people in the community working with us and doing their part, the number of incidences like this are significantly reduced,” he said. But all it takes is one person on a street not cleaning up bear attractants to undo all the good work everybody else is doing. Conservation Officers were notified that the bear had been observed in the Penfield School area again on Tuesday afternoon. It disappeared into a nearby greenspace before being spotted

crossing Hilchey heading north, Petrovcic said. It then wandered over to a nearby catchment pond north of Hilchey Road and west of Penfield where it was shot. Residents on social media reported hearing the shots. “At that point, based on the history we’d received on this particular bear, it had been seen hanging out close to the school for almost two weeks,” Petrovcic said. “The school’s had numerous times (where it) more or less had the school almost on lock down, no kids permitted into the playing field. “It was determined that this bear was not a relocation candidate and that this bear would be destroyed.” This isn’t the only bear in town COs are aware of. There is a second bear hanging around the Phoenix school area and a report of another in the vicinity of Ecole des Deux Mondes School at the west end of 7th Avenue. Petrovcic said Conservation Officers are emphasizing an educational approach in trying

to deal with these kinds of situations. The province has had “bear awareness” programs in place for years and earlier this month the Conservation Officer Service issued a plea to homeowners to do what they can to help reduce conflicts. There had been a noticeable increase in human-wildlife conflict reports from all over Vancouver Island, specifically dealing with black bears in high density residential areas accessing an abundance of unpicked fruit in back yards. “Our urban calls for service have definitely gone up in the last 2-3 weeks,” Petrovcic said. Petrovcic said if people are not complying with measures to reduce wildlife conflicts, the COs do have the authority to charge people and issue tickets that can result in fines up to $575. “We really would like the support of the community and have everyone secure their attractants,” Pterovcic said. The CO service requests that people report sightings of bears and wildlife to their 24-hour call centre (1-877-952-7277).

LOOKING FOR GIFT IDEAS?

There’s frequently information circulated on social media – Campbell River has a Facebook page dedicated to cougar and bear sightings – but Petrovcic said COs don’t have time to be on social media all day and so will not become informed through that route. The public needs to call in. Bears are instinctually loading up on calories right now in preparation for hibernation and they’ll target easilyacessible food. There are many factors at play. With the natural berry crops ending, along with a poor return of salmon and lower-than-normal water flows in some Island rivers this year, bears began coming into communities in search of food. They are being rewarded with an abundance of fruit and will not leave town if they continue to have access to such a high calorie food source. “It’s extremely disappointing for a Conservation Officer having to attend and destroy an animal that, essentially the public has influenced its behaviour,” Petrovcic said.

SRD considers selling Cortes parkland to pay off debt

www.CampbellRiverMirror.com

KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The Strathcona Regional District is considering selling parkland on Cortes Island to help pay down a debt. The property in question is Sutil Point Park – 0.22 hectares of undeveloped land outside of Smelt Bay Provincial Park. Karin Albert, planner for the regional district, said the park, which is forested with second growth Douglas fir, could be sold to pay off money the regional district borrowed to purchase Whaletown Commons two years ago. “The regional district is exploring the sale of Sutil Point Park in order to raise funds to replenish the Area B parkland acquisition fund which has been drawn down as a result of acquiring Whaletown Commons as park in October, 2014,” Albert said. If the regional district were to continue on with its current payment plan, Albert said that for the next three years, close to one-third of Cortes Island’s parks budget will go toward paying off the five year loan that the regional district took on to purchase Whaletown Commons.

According to the regional district, the property was appraised at $826,000 ($475,000 for the timber and $351,000 for the land). The Whaletown Commons Society, a non-profit which had been trying to secure the land for more than 20 years, partnered with the regional district and agreed to chip in roughly $73,000 towards the purchase. The s o ciety was formed with the sole purpose of keeping the green space as parkland and is using the property to create a community park in Cortes Island’s Whaletown. Whaletown Commons has high forest and riparian values, a salmon-bearing creek and it provides a natural habitat for wolves and other animals. It also connects three Whaletown sub-neighbourhoods.

Campbell River raises $63,000 for Tour de Rock JOCELYN DOLL

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

C h r ist a C or r i g a l l started the Cops for Cancer cheque presentation ceremony in Spirit Square on Tuesday, with a poem she wrote with her daughter Natalia about Camp Good Times. In the poem she thanked the donors as well as the cyclists for fundraising for cancer research and care programs, like Camp Goodtimes. “To forget cancer for

just a few days…is a gift,” Corrigall said. This year efforts in Campbell River raised $63,000. Annual events such as the golf tournament and the barrel race brought in upwards of $20,000 each and individual fundraising efforts ranged from $200 from a little girl who donated her hair to more than $6,000 from one man who said he pushed hard because he learned what it costs to put a child into Camp Goodtimes. The cyclists, though

sore from the days ride, were enthusiastic and thankful for the donations and support from the community. They presented plaques to the donors on behalf of the Canadian Cancer Society to say thank you. They read, “A person never stands so tall as when they kneel to help a child.” The cyclists were on the road to the Comox Valley the next morning, for day five of their 10 day tour around the Island.

Clockwise from the left: The Cops for Cancer Golf Tournament organizers handed over a cheque for almost $32,000 this year. The Tour de Roc team on the road to Campbell River from on Tuesday morning. The riders embraced their partners when they dismounted at Tammy’s Cafe just north of Campbell River. Teresa Olfert fundraised and donated her hair to Locks for Love.

Three Point Motors

Ladies and gentlemen, The 2016 Vancouver Island Motor Gathering is in the history books and we would like to express our gratitude to our staff and the many generous sponsors for their contributions to one incredible show. A special thank you goes to the attraction of the Motor Gathering, the collectors of some of the most valuable and beautiful vehicles on display and of course, the many, many spectators who spent their Sunday with us at the Vancouver Island Motorsport Circuit. All of them have made this year’s Motor Gathering another big success. This year’s event saw over 550 show vehicles and motorcycles, more than 10,000 spectators and most importantly we are extremely proud to support the David Foster Foundation and the Cowichan District Hospital Foundation with over $153,000 in cash donations. The Vancouver Island Motor Gathering has been part of our group since 2012 and we would like to thank our staff for making the show a success each year. First and foremost, we would like to thank Cindy Mui and the marketing team as they are the driving force behind this event. Especially this year, it was an extraordinary effort as we just opened the Vancouver Island Motorsport Circuit and will soon open the Villa Eyrie Resort. Thank you very much for not giving up and for helping us once again to raise funds for our local charities. Another big thank you

goes to the 150+ employees from our dealerships that came and helped to provide each visitor and exhibitor a feeling of being part of a well-organized event. We would also like to highlight one sponsor in particular who took their sponsorship efforts to new levels. Chris Erb, of SupErb Construction deserves an extra credit as he brought on other sponsors to our event totalling over $100,000!! Thank you Chris for all that you do for us. However, every sponsor is important and vital to the success of this event and we would like to thank each and every one of them for their support. Please see them proudly displayed at the Motor Gathering Website and consider them next time you may be in need of their service, as they are also supporters of the local communities on Vancouver Island and especially the Cowichan Valley. Ladies and gentlemen, we now set our sights on 2017 and we will once again welcome the automotive collector car community at the Vancouver Island Motorsport Circuit. Next years event will change slightly in format and will be held on two days on Saturday, August 26 and Sunday, August 27, 2017. Stay tuned for more details in January. Until then, thank you for being a part of our operations and in supporting our local community. We are proud to be part of yours. Sincerely, Sylvester Chuang & Peter Trzewik

Chair calls for greater transparency KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The chair of the Strathcona Regional District board wants directors to be more transparent when it comes to travel expenses. Board Chair and Sayward Mayor John MacDonald suggested the regional district start posting directors’ travel claims on its website for the public to see. “It’s my opinion it would increase transparency of what we’re doing and it would just be on the website and people would be able to read it,” MacDonald said. “I would like to be transparent and I think everybody on this board would like to be transparent.” MacDonald said that

should also extend to regional district employees. “I wouldn’t only be including the board, I’d be including staff ’s travel claims also,” he said. “I think it’s really something we should be taking a look at.” MacDonald threw it out to the board for consideration at last week’s Wednesday meeting, and suggested it could be further discussed at a board governance workshop that is scheduled for Oct. 6 at Oyster Bay Resorts. MacDonald said he was prompted by an editorial that ran in the Mirror earlier this month titled, ‘Government expenses at whose expense?’ The editorial discussed inappropriate travel claims by elected officials in recent years and

suggested that making expenses public on an ongoing basis may cause politicians to think twice before incurring “an exorbitant expense.” MacDonald said the editorial made a fair point. “I thought it was very interesting and I think it’s the right thing and I think it would be nice if, on this board, we could have all our travel claims put on the website.”

On contagion and knowing your rights It was – in fact you could say it is, since I’m writing this from my bed – a simple viral infection, which apparently is cured by laying here for who knows how long, drinking as many fluids as I can and letting my stupid body take care of it. There’s nothing, according to the doctor I saw, that just makes this thing go away any faster. Guess I’m using up the rest of my sick days for the year. That thought got me to thinking about when I was working as a server in the food and beverage industry, which was my career for about 15 years, not that long ago. Back then, if I came down with something, I would still have to stay home, but I certainly wouldn’t be getting paid if I did. And possibly rightly so. I mean, it’s not like I could have been of any kind of benefit to my company from my bed, right? At least these days I can periodically pull my laptop

Forgive us if it’s a bad analogy, but this reminds us of scenes from the first two Godfather movies. People line up to see the Don on the occasion of his daughter’s birthday or son’s first communion, submitting requests for various acts or funding for various projects. The theory is, traditionally, the Don does not deny requests on these special family days. More than 1,500 municipal politicians are lining up to see the Dons of the provincial government this week at the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) in Victoria. The government ministers, their henchmen, er, assistants at their sides, sit in anti-rooms off the main conference hall, entertaining everyone from Ashcroft to Zeballos. The people kissing the rings of these Dons want funding for roads, sewers, affordable housing — there’s no shortage to the depth of their requests. OK, no one is asking provincial government ministers to make someone sleep with the fishes. We don’t think so, anyway. And, most importantly, this is not a special family occasion where the government ministers feel obliged to say yes to all requests. The similarities end at this — the value, perceived or real, of face time with decision makers. This face time could be invaluable for many municipal politicians on Vancouver Island who are looking to fix a bridge or build a homeless shelter. That’s because there is only a small percentage of Islanders — specifically those in Parksville, Qualicum Beach, Courtenay and Comox — who are represented by someone who sits at the adult table of government and not in opposition. Only two constituencies on Vancouver Island have B.C. Liberal MLAs. Our system, especially in polarized B.C., remains dominated by political parties. A backbench NDP member may not have as much luck getting funds to fix potholes as the small-town mayor from his/her riding would during the UBCM. It’s possible this is the best year to ask — it’s the final UBCM conference before the next provincial election, which is eight months away. For taxpayers, it would be nice to see some results from this junket — thousands are spent to send all these councillors and mayors to the UBCM. -Black Press

food and beverage industry without being told about STIIP, I’ll never know. Maybe they didn’t want people to know they could get paid 75 per cent of their wage if they were sick and stayed home. I hope I’m being pessimistic and it was simply information that employers aren’t aware of or they think their employees already know. In either of those cases, however, I urge both employees and employers to read up on these benefits and share them with others. Because people shouldn’t be going in to work feeling how I feel right now, just because they think they need to do so in order to make rent. And for employers that actually don’t want their employees in their building if they’re sick – like my current one – and don’t punish them financially for falling ill, thank you for giving your people the chance to get well when they need it.

Stewardship Awards celebrate Riverites who care for the natural world MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

or 15 years, the City of Campbell River has been recognizing residents who make caring for the natural environment part of their everyday life with their annual Stewardship Awards, and they handed out another round of them Saturday at the Fall Festival at Haig Brown House. Stacey Larsen, community advisor with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, told those gathered at this year’s event that she’s been honoured to be asked to present the awards for the past few years, as it’s important to recognize the folks who take care of our natural world for the benefit of the entire community. “I really do cherish the opportunity to present these awards and recognize these hard working, unsung volunteers,

groups and businesses,” Larsen said, because it is a chance to reflect on how the nominees for these awards – and those like them – are breathing life into the community through their work within the natural world we cherish as part of our lives here. “We also enjoy how the recipients of these awards are always surprised at being recognized by this program,” Larsen said. “They don’t do this work for the credit, they do it for the health of the environment, and we thank them for stepping forward today to be honoured and to help inspire others.” The 2016 Air Quality and Alternative Transportation Award went to Frank Jones and Marcus Willems. Jones and Willems adopted trails through Greenways Land Trust and, “in one year, with a good dose of muscle

The Pesticide Free and Urban Agriculture Award went to Michelle White of Ross Mountain Farm for her work growing certified organic blueberries and many other initiatives and endeavours, includ-

ing her role on the city’s Agriculture Plan Steering Committee, which helped guide the city’s plan to grow 10 per cent of its own food by 2031. The Water and Energy Conservation Award for 2016 went to Sidney Demuth and Jack Worsley. “It’s always wonderful to see younger faces up here on stage,” Larsen said in presenting their award.

nominated in the Youth Special Recognition category, Larsen said, “but we wanted to specifically highlight their contributions on the steering committee for the city’s Community Energy and Emissions Plan (CEEP) update,” along with their volunteer work helping with the Earth Week Film Festival and the Cycling in Campbell River Project. The 2016 Waste Reduction stewardship award went to Dr. David Barr. Barr was recognized for his involvement in the city’s Repair Cafe initiative,

which began in 2015 and helps people learn to fix – rather than dispose and re-purchase – everything from electronics to clothing. Bill Murray and Dave Cunning took home the 2016 Habitat Protection and Creation Award for their extensive efforts in stream stewardship. The 2016 Youth Special Recognition Award went to Keely Finn, MacKenzie Bryla and Alexandria UzzellPaulos from Dionne Lapointe-Bakoda’s Grade 6/7 class at Southgate Middle School, who took on the marking the storm drains in the Galerno/ Hilchey/Rockland area of Willow Point and passing around leaflets to area residents to warn them of the risks to fish populations from toxins in the storm drains. “This is a very important message to be putting out there,” Larsen said. “The city has an environmental protection bylaw that addresses fouling storm drainage systems and watercourses, but it’s efforts like this that help to prevent the contami-

nation in the first place, so thank you so much.” Mainstream Biological Consulting received the Environmental Excellence Award for 2016. Mainstream has been nominated numerous times in years past, from numerous nominators, Larsen said, “for their dedication and commitment to making the world a better place,” Larsen said. “Regularly, we see Mainstream staff at the table when we need feedback on environmental policy; we see them in attendance at city workshops to learn more and ask questions; we see them at professional development conferences…and we see them applying the rules from all regulators when we know how hard this task can be.” The Tom Easton Remembrance Youth Bursary was handed out to recent graduate Mikaia DeMaiffe-Elliot, who has gone on to attend the University of Victoria to take anthropology and environmental studies and is part of the school’s Sustainability Club.

After racing in three 300m races, River Spirit took first place with a total time of 4:34:76, and the Bravehearts, who teamed up with Port Alberni’s team, Die Hards, came in second place with a total time of 4:45:60 minutes.

Midget A Tyees drop two in a row T he Campbell River Midget A Tyees played a pair of games this past weekend, coming up on the wrong end of 3-1 score in Port Alberni and a 6-1 outcome at home against Saanich. The lone goal in each game was scored by Luke Lund. He was assisted in Port Alberni by Ethan Mainprize and Liam Rivett, while Owen Boyd and Nic Ordano helped out at home. This is the first bit of adversity the team has faced this season but likely won’t be the last. Every player kept working hard; each made brilliant plays whether it was making a great save even if it rang off the mask, battling in the corners to get the puck or making a tapeto-tape pass. Unfortunately, every player also suffered a few temporary brain cramps, and when more than one player

Coach Bill Humphreys, former teacher and hockey coach at Notre Dame in Saskatchewan, had a few words after Sunday’s loss to Saanich. “The team kept working hard,” he said. “We can see progress in some areas, which is encouraging. If everyone continues to stay the course, we will get there in the end.” Humphreys and Coach Jim MacLean are giving back to minor hockey after making significant contributions in other parts of Canada. Humphreys noted that it was truly a pleasure to see Notre Dame alumni at earlier Campbell River Minor Hockey games, especially in the coaching ranks. VIAHA is still working on game schedules at this time but the Midget A Tyees are preparing for a trip to the southern end of the Island, likely to Peninsula, this weekend.

Fishing Corner with

There are a number of anglers that really enjoy fishing the various rivers this time of year because the weather is cooler and travel is less hectic because the bulk of tourists have gone home.

Most anglers will not fish for coho because all wild salmon must be released but once you hook into a coho using spinning gear or on a fly, it’s fast, furious, fun fishing and you may be hooked for life. I had a chance to fish one of the rivers north of Sayward. Using a green or pink – and even red

When using spinning gear in the rivers, many prefer to go simple and tie on a wool yarn combination on a single barbless hook. Since the local rivers are not that big, the key is getting out far enough and getting the lure down to the fish. A Kitimat 80 in fast water is a great lure and a smaller Kitimat 65 is another way to go. Luhr Jensen Krocodile spoons with chrome or chrome with blue or green stripes is another favourite.

Vickie Atherton with a catch and release coho on Cluxewe River.

– lead head jig, the action was steady when the runs of coho were coming in. There are countless fly patterns that have been effective over the years for catching coho but green patterns seem to outfish the blue and getting the fly weighted will make the world of a difference. Hook sizes, in general, are between a 6 and 12 but smaller patterns are effective.

I will be doing a series of basic fly tying for beginners and if you have an interest, contact Tyee Marine in Campbell River or Courtenay or leave your name and phone number at the Campbell River Mirror. We fit anyone in for free lessons. Last year we had a number of sessions at the Campbell River Library and I plan to return. Dates will be released here in the Fishing Corner.
