Officials took appropriate action after pilot crashed Transport Canada concludes proper procedures were followed after Dr. Bill Phipps plane crash. RENÉE ANDOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Transport Canada says the organizers of the Nanaimo air show, where a Campbell River man crashed, followed proper procedure. Dr. Bill Phipps crashed his selfbuilt stunt biplane while performing acrobatic manoeuvres during the Wings and Wheels air show put on by the Nanaimo Flying Club on June 4. He suffered serious facial and internal injuries in the incident, as well as broken bones after his plane crashed during the first eight minutes of the air show. The rest of the air show was cancelled and the airport was closed to all incoming and outgoing air traffic immediately after Phipps’ accident. Some spectators questioned the emergency crew’s response time in getting to the wreckage to pull Phipps to safety. Transport Canada conducted a review after the crash to ensure all rules were adhered to. “All the information available to date indicates that the air show was in compliance with the Canadian Aviation Regulations,” said Transport Canada com-

munications officer Sara Hof in an e-mail. “There is no further action required at this time.” An inspector from Transport Canada was on site at the time of the crash to monitor the air show and ensure rules were being followed, as mandated by the Aeronautics Act. Spectator safety distances, pilot eligibility requirements, and emergency response being met safely by the air show organizers, were some of the many things the inspector was monitoring that day. Transport Canada conducted its review on July 20, after meeting with air show planners and discussing the safety plans for the air show. Nanaimo Flying Club president Barbara Riddy said she is pleased with Transport Canada’s decision, but cares more about Phipps’ well-being. “We’re happy with Transport’s report, but we find greater comfort in the pilot’s survival,” said Riddy. Phipps was up to date on his health examination at the time of the crash, according to Transport Canada. Phipps is still recovering in Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria, but is said to be improving.

During the summer months most pets would prefer to stay home in a cool place rather than walk on hot city pavement or sit in a parked car.

The temperature in a parked car, even in the shade with the windows partly open, can rapidly reach a level that will seriously harm or even kill your pet. Dogs cool themselves by panting and by releasing heat through their paws. On summer days the air and upholstery in your vehicle can heat up to high temperatures that make it impossible for pets to cool themselves. Your dog will be more comfortable if left at home. If you see a dog languishing in a hot car, call the BC SPCA in your area or local police.

Father charged in son’s death to be in court next month A date was set for the arraignment of Brent Allan Warren, the man charged with murder after the death of his seven-year-old son July 27. Warren, 43, of Campbell River appeared in provincial court on July 28 on a single count of first degree murder as a result of the death of his son, Jonathan War ren. He was remanded in custody and on Monday, the case was adjourned until Sept. 12 for an arraignment by video.

RCMP were called to the Warren residence at 2:30 a.m. Wednesday, July 28 and found the young boy suffering from serious injuries which he later succumbed to while in hospital, said Sgt. Craig Massey of the Campbell River RCMP. But the early morning visit was not the first time police had dropped by the S Alder Street residence, just south of Southgate school on the 2600 block. RCMP visited the

home two times three days prior to the boy’’s death and Warren’’s subsequent arrest. “Officers attended the Warren residence after receiving a couple of driving complaints (over that weekend), which were deemed to be unfounded at this point,” Massey said. A memorial for Jonathan has been growing outside the home since then. Police still have not released how he was injured or where his mother was at the time.

Campbell River hospital may still receive a mobile MRI machine despite the Vancouver Island Health Authority’s (VIHA) decision two weeks ago to abandon the service. The health authority announced it would not invest in a mobile MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) unit that would rotate between the Campbell River, Comox Valley and Cowichan Valley hospitals, citing cost concerns. But just days after the announcement, Catherine Mackay, VIHA’s chief operating official, asked VIHA staff to review its decision. “Following the decision, a number of very good points were raised and suggestions put forward,” said Jocelyn Stanton, spokesperson for the health authority. “VIHA really sees

THEY SAID IT: “Another

review of costing and the process will occur”

– Jocelyn Stanton, VIHA spokesperson

ity announced it had called off those plans saying the cost would be over $600 per MRI scan, too expensive compared to VIHA’s existing cost of $250 for scans done at Nanaimo or Victoria hospitals. VIHA had been looking for a five-year contract for 2,500 scans per year with a mobile service that would move one or two times each

Trevena and Routley wrote in their letters dated July 27. “It has been described by some in the medical community as ‘devastating’ and ‘as if the rug were pulled from under us.’” Stanton said VIHA recognizes the value and importance of MRI scanning equipment to a community and it will do its best to accommodate everyone. “I think another review of costing and the process will occur,” Stanton said. “And I believe that’s underway right now.” She said right now there is no timeline as to when the review will be complete. The only MRI m a ch i n e s o n t h e Island are in Nanaimo and Victoria. MRI is a specialized technology that uses magnetic and radio waves to allow radiologists to see inside the body.

That decision raised the ire of both North Island MLA Claire Trevena and Cowichan Valley MLA Doug Routley who c o - w ro t e l e t t e r s to the president of VIHA, Howard Waldner, and Health Minister Mike de Jong, urging VIHA to reverse its decision, which they said would negatively impact thousands of people. “The sudden announcement that you do not plan to proceed with the establishment of this new service will inevitably impact recruitment and retention of radiologists in Campbell River and the Comox Valley, at a time when the two communities are awaiting their two new hospitals,”

NBC checks out Campbell River Campbell River will be seen on television sets across Nor th America next month. A film crew from World of Adventure Sports shot footage in the Campbell River area last week for its next episode, slated to air Sept. 10 from 11 a.m.-12 p.m. on NBC. Campbell River was selected to host the show which will feature Mount Washing-

ton’s Bearclaw Invitational mountain bike challenge along with four or five vignettes – short pieces of footage – showcasing the city. “We tried to feature things that you can only do in Campbell River,” said Teresa Davis, tourism mana g e r fo r To u r i s m Campbell River and Region. The crew was treated to a tidal rapid tour by zodiac, snorkelling with the salmon along the Campbell River

and fishing in the Tyee Pool. Todd Harris from NBC Sports, the host of the Emmy-winning show, and the rest of the film crew also spent last Friday morning at the Discovery Fishing Pier to catch Campbell Riverites in action, enjoying the war m summer day. The show typically follows extreme sporting events and other adventure excursions. The Bear Claw Invitational, which features

world-class mountain bikers, and the Campbell River footage will make up one of four segments on the September episode. The remainder of the show follows a motocross tour in California and Oregon and a Red Bull surfing challenge in the Mentawai Islands, off Sumatra in Indonesia. World of Adventure Sports is not the first production to be shot in the Campbell River area this summer.

Last week Robson Green, a well-known actor in Britain, brought his Extreme Fishing show to Campbell River. His crew also filmed in the Tyee Pool and was rowed out by Coun. Roy Grant. Prior to that, a series of stunts were filmed for G.I. Joe 2 a couple of weeks ago at Bute Inlet, and an Australian film crew is expected to shoot a salmon documentary in Campbell River sometime this month.

Campbell River RCMP responded to a complaint of mischief to vehicles parked on Colwyn Street at around 2 a.m. on Aug. 1 after a neighbour heard the disturbance and called the RCMP. Two males were reported to be yelling and causing willful damage to vehicles parked along the street. General Duty members on patrol in the area took two suspects into custody. Investigators are asking any residents in the area who have not already reported

damage from this incident to contact the Campbell River RCMP at 250-2866221. “Police would like to thank those witnesses that came forward to the investigating officers on scene, and those witnesses who made the initial complaint,” said Cst. Peter Wise in an email. Their information and description of the suspicious activity led to the quick arrest of the suspects attempting to flee the area, according to Wise. “While this incident

The story of Campbell River’s drinking water is a story of a watershed and its people.

CITY OF CR

Today, we see a fivelake chain managed by BC Hydro to ensure adequate water flows throughout the year for fish habitat, drinking water, hydro generation Luisa Richardson and recreation. A century ago, the watershed held a spectacular river system plunging 625 feet from Buttle Lake to the sea with lakes, sloughs, rapids and waterfalls. Twelve frothing rapids seethed between Upper and Lower Campbell Lake alone. So much water roared over Elk Falls that the spray hid the falls and mist rose as high as the tallest trees. This abundance of rapids and falls promised hydroelectric power for the Island and the John Hart Dam harnessed the river in 1945. In 1949, the Village of Campbell River voted unanimously to improve the water supply, building a transmission line to draw drinking water from John Hart Lake through the penstocks that lead to the generating station. The high quality water needed little additional treatment. The Ladore and Strathcona Dams built in 1949 and 1958 contributed more power and created the continuous lake system we see today. While the population of Campbell River grew from 1,978 people in 1947 to 32,000 people in 2006, the lakes have also become home to other commercial enterprises, and popular recreation sites for camping, swimming, boating and ﬁshing. If not managed properly, these activities in the lake system will degrade the quality of the water impacting ﬁsh habitat and the community’s drinking water source. To celebrate and protect our clean drinking water join us at Waterfest 2011 at McIvor Lake on July 20, and for our annual Watershed Clean-up Day, August 27.

The Friends of Strathcona Park (FOSP) are hosting the Strathcona Wilderness Festival on Sat. Aug. 20 to commemorate the park’s 100th anniversary, and organizing a work crew to repair part of Bedwell Trail from Aug. 20-25. The festival will be held from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. at Buttle Lake, and will feature a host of free activities. Attendees can take part in a water colour painting class, rock climbing, kayak tours, kid’s activities, informational talks from experts, and even free yoga classes and massages, among other things. FOSP director Kel Kelly, said he is looking forward to the festival. “We’re very excited to be doing this to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the park,” he said. Dubbed a “self-survival festival” by Kelly, the event requires attendees to be self sufficient. They must bring their own lunch and any gear they may need for the activities, and take their garbage back with them, as the only amenities available will be water and toilets.

MANAGE YOUR MONEY Life insurance for your home Home is not only where the heart is, it’s also the largest single debt for most Canadians. But that’s okay, because your home is the centre of your family’s life. That’s why you should look long and hard at mortgage insurance. Traditional mortgage insurance can be conveniently obtained from your lender as part of your overall mortgage ‘package’. The premium is added to your monthly mortgage payment. • The policy has no cash value and the bene¿ts are paid directly to the lender. • Your lender owns the policy. If you decide to change your lending institution to get a better mortgage rate or move to a new home, you have to re-qualify medically for new protection, potentially at higher premiums. • Your coverage ends when the mortgage is paid off. • Although it is unlikely, the fact remains that the insurance company that underwrites the policy could change the rate structure or cancel coverage as a whole. Personal life insurance is all yours. You own the policy and it insures you not the

mortgage. You decide on the type of policy that’s best for you – either term or permanent insurance – and you choose the bene¿ciaries who can use the funds any way they wish – to pay off the mortgage, provide an income, or cover immediate expenses. • Your coverage isn’t reduced by a declining mortgage balance – so your bene¿ciaries stay protected. Any bene¿t payout in excess of the amount owing on the mortgage is available for use by your bene¿ciary. • If you choose term insurance, you can convert it to permanent insurance at a time suitable to you. • Your coverage goes everywhere with you – from home to home, mortgage to mortgage – and you can reduce the amount of coverage any time you want.

• It’s your plan -- with the options, features and premiums that ¿t your needs and budget. And you can add disability and critical illness insurance that can include the bene¿t of waiving your premiums should you become disabled, providing the money to continue making mortgage payments, or paying your medical expenses. Your home is your family’s protective nest – it makes sense to protect it (and your family) with mortgage insurance.

Our View

HST decision a waiting game With the deadline Friday for HST referendum ballots, anticipation is building for the result. It’s almost like betting on a horse race then waiting for the race to be We say: Despite run. Except there will be no big winwhich way voters ners and few big losers after the votes are tallied. go, the sun will Much time and resources have been rise again spent promoting the benefits (vote ‘no’) and downfalls (vote ‘yes’) of the harmonized sales tax. To the government’s credit, it did a good job spelling out the scenarios for taxpayers, both of keeping

the HST and alternatively, going back to the PST-GST combination. The Fight HST camp, on the other hand, has done virtually nothing to acknowledge any positive aspects of the now year-old sales tax system. That one-sided vision was a disservice and only contributed to the confusion over the real differences between the two taxing strategies. Where the Liberals have been attempting to simplify the debate, Bill Vander Zalm and company have been doing their best to muddy the facts and appeal more to people’s hearts than their heads. Where that left voters who didn’t mail or drop off their HST referendum ballot was, largely, in the dark

and, in many cases, likely led to avoiding a vote altogether. And that is unfortunate given that this vote will directly impact every resident in the province daily. Which way will the referendum go? It seems those convinced the HST is a bad idea are sure it’ll be defeated. HST supporters tend to be a lot more uncertain of the result, yet hopeful. Regardless, no one need fear backing the wrong horse. The sun will still come up, government will continue to operate and those prone to doing so will eventually find something else to complain about. – Black Press

Good point: Market There are a few things that work very well in Campbell River and are great sources of pride for our city. The Visitor Info Centre and the Pier Street Farmers Market are two that help make Campbell River a great place to visit and live. Why on earth would the Maritime Heritage Society want to try to “fix” either of these two, they just aren’t broke? The Visitor Info Centre is exactly where it should be, the heart of Campbell River in the downtown core. It’s easily accessible, lots of space for RV’s and other large vehicles and draws locals and visitors to our city centre. Moving it would just bleed the heart of our town of just one more thing and strike another blow to the the business community that has worked hard at making the downtown a great place to work, shop, eat and play. We have continued to watch the town grow out and away from its core and we have done our best to survive as the large shopping centres and big box stores continue to draw business to the outside edges. If we take this important service out of our core it might as well be in a kiosk on the highway heading north for all the good it’ll do downtown. As for the Pier Street Farmers Market it couldn’t be in a more idyllic spot. Suggesting it be moved to a mall parking lot is ludicrous. Part of the charm and appeal is the location. For 22 days a year the parking lot at the Maritime Heritage Centre is filled to capacity and beyond due to the popularity of our market. One day a week for about five hours people come in droves to Continued on A9

Time for British Columbians to get smart or go broke

Tom Fletcher B.C. Views

B.C.’s job market held steady in July, with unemployment at 7.3 per cent. The latest Statistics Canada job data were released as global financial markets teetered on the edge of another recession. B.C. was last reminded of its vulnerability to world events in late 2008 and early 2009, when financial markets froze up and governments around the world started frantically borrowing to bail out major industries. There are still idle construction cranes around B.C., although the vital commodity markets have recovered. It was the sickening skid in provincial revenues, which began to reveal itself during the 2009 election campaign, that triggered the B.C. gov-

ernment’s panicked grab for the harmonized sales tax and its transition fund. If blame is important to you, blame Stephen Harper for the HST, but please don’t believe Bill Vander Zalm and the NDP when they claim it was merely a political plot covered up with lies. The truth is much scarier than the scare tactics of these political opportunists. Globalization isn’t optional, and there are lots of countries out there ready to beat us up and take our lunch money if we give them half a chance. The Canadian and U.S. central banks have held interest rates near zero since the crisis. If something more goes wrong, they are “out of bullets,” as economists say.

Here’s another economic fact about the year 2011. For the first time in Canadian history, the majority of people with employer-supported pensions now work for government or its agencies, rather than the private sector. Despite all the political blather about left and right, more spending versus less, government keeps growing. That’s true for Canada and for B.C., where government grew every year of the allegedly tight-fisted reign of Gordon Campbell. There has been lots of bleating about HST on adult-sized clothing for children. Claiming your hubby’s clothes are actually for a bulky child may be the oldest scam in sales tax evasion.

This is an example of what economists call the paradox of public finance. Economists like consumption taxes because they’re difficult to avoid. Many taxpayers dislike them for the same reason. This is the road that leads to Greece, where tax evasion is considered a civil right along with fat pay and pensions. The same population expects to go to university at little or no cost until they’re 30, and then retire at 55, with the whole apparatus somehow held up by the dwindling band of workers in between. The latest contract demands of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation give a sense of their Greece-like isolation Continued on A9

Regional district responsibilities work adds to councillors’ salaries KRISTEN DOUGLAS

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Some city councillors made more than others last year, despite all receiving the same yearly salary from the city. All councillors received $20,764 in 2010, according to the city’s recently released Statement of Financial Information but those appointed to Strathcona Regional District boards made additional dollars. Coun. Andy Adams was the only council-

lor to not receive any pay from the Regional District. Coun. Ziggy Stewart, who sits on the Strathcona Regional District board, the Committee of the Whole board and the Strathcona Gardens Commission board, received the most remuneration from the regional district at $14,100 to up his pay to $34,864. Coun. Roy Grant made $13,450 from the Regional District for a total yearly salary of $34,214 and Coun. Claire Moglove

received $33,964 from the Regional District for a total of $33,964 last year. Councillors Mary Stor ry, who made $13,075 from the Regional District for a yearly total of $33,839, and Ryan Mennie, who received $1,000 as an alternate director to the Regional District board, round out the list. Mayor Charlie Cornfield received $58,854 from the city last year and $12,325 from the Regional District. While appointments

to the Regional District are compensated, councillors appointed to city committees or groups are not paid any additional remuneration. Moglove sits on six different city committees, Stewart sits on seven, Storry sits on six, Adams sits on ten different commissions and committees while Grant’s portfolio includes five committees and Mennie sits in on six groups. Mayor Cornfield sits on a total of five committees.

What do you think of the Island and

6th Annual 3X8

Well I love going to the Island – I’m from Vancouver originally but there’s something different about the Island, it’s more peaceful. Actually almost all of the records that I’ve written, a lot of the writing has been done on Vancouver Island in Nanoose. And the cover of this last record Light the Horizon is actually an arbutus tree on this hike we go on that overlooks the Strait so we actually owe a lot to the Island. What do you think about doing a smaller venue show like this? We don’t mind at all actually. We just played at a festival that was really small called Little Fest outside of Nelson, B.C. and it was really local; it was all just locally funded and organic and I thought it was a really nice feeling because it has a real family aspect to it. So sometimes for us playing the smaller ones is sort of like – it has

a real home grown feel to it, which I like ‘cause I think that’s what festivals are kind of about, is people coming together and the bands are there, but it’s about the experience of the people going as much as the show itself. How does feel for you guys when you’re up on stage; the difference between tons of people at a big venue and something that’s really small like that? It doesn’t make

much difference. (Laughs) My band jokes with me because I really don’t notice much when show’s happening. I actually have my eyes closed for most of it. They’ll mention stuff that happened and I’ll be like really that happened during the show? You know it doesn’t make a difference to me at all really. The only times for me was when I was doing my solo tour, and you go from playing with Bedouin and it’s a bit bigger, to playing for like 100 to 200 people,

ILLEGALLY DUMPED CHRISTMAS

2X3.5

ILLEGAL DUMPING Christmas in the ‘shed (Watershed). What looks great under your Christmas tree doesn’t go well in this natural seƫng. Couldn’t you re-giŌ this instead of calling it “garbage” and dumping it in nature. Imagine how much manufacturing, ingenuity and fossil fuels it took to get to this point. Use your own ingenuity to recycle this. To return to owner please call 250-203-2316.

I have my eyes closed the whole time, but I don’t see much that happens. I don’t know why… I think that I was never a person who loved to be on stage. It was never something that I dreamed of doing. I love writing music and playing music, but I think there’s a point where – maybe early on in our career – where I realized that you kind of have to turn that part off, like the audience for me, because I think it was intimidating for me when I was younger. You know especially when you’re starting and playing pubs and stuff, and it was a rowdy crowd and you kind of had to turn it off. So maybe that’s why. I don’t feel that way anymore but maybe it’s just out of habit. The song Mountain Top or some song that you’ve played a million times because it’s a really popular song; how do you keep it fresh for yourself when you’re up there? Is it just like you’re doing your job, or do you do something to keep yourself inspired?

Our apologies to anyone who we may have missed.

You know, it’s funny, I was having this conversation with another musician in another band and he was talking about When the Night Feels my Song and asking the same thing. I guess the thing is I would never play the song on my own, ever. I would never sit there and be like ‘oh I’ll play one of my own songs.’ That personal enjoyment for just yourself is gone. But I think that in a live setting it’s nice for it to become public property, for it to become someone else’s, and so their enjoyment becomes just as important as you playing it, and it kind of overrides any feeling of boredom. So going back a bit, when the band had a little hiatus, why was that? I think that the catalyst for what happened to us as people within the band definitely was affected by our success. It happened really quickly. It happened with one song. And I think that when that happened, the band, like I said before, it becomes public property as much as it is yours now. When you’re just playing and you have

Family getting bigger? •••••• OPEN HOUSES

listed on page A31

your own fan base where you’re not on the radio or anything like that, you still have a lot of ownership for it, and I think that loss of autonomy that you feel as you become more public can be really destructive too. And I think that’s why you see so many artists, or so many musicians, or actors, or whatever do ridiculous things, because I think maybe it’s a sense of trying to get autonomy back when they feel a little bit powerless over their situation. So for us it was just important that we felt that autonomy again; until you know this isn’t something that’s just on the rails. This isn’t a job. It’s not something that we have to do, and it started to feel that way; that we had to do it. That killed the spirit of why we were doing it in the first place. Everything became more important than being healthy as human beings and being inspired to play, so that was why we took the – and it’s funny that we say hiatus now because really I did a solo record, and then did another project, and then we did Bedouin, so it wasn’t like there was really

any time off, but I think it was not just doing one thing. Would you say that you liked being solo or with the band better? They’re really different. I think sometimes you need the solo stuff and sometimes you need the band. After doing the solo tour I was pretty ready to go back with Bedouin because when you finish a song, when you stop playing, everything goes silent, and it’s nice to have guys backing you up on stage, and also I really love playing with Bedouin. I think everything’s just in balance. What’s your all time favourite song that you have written or sung? Hmm… I think Remembrance Day from my solo record was one of the better songs I’ve ever written, and I think Brutal Hearts is one of the better songs I’ve ever written for Bedouin. Why are these your favourite songs? You can write a song and it’s calculated

Dr. Kevin Lathangue & Dr. Rod Nugent welcome Dr. Jana Lamb

and mechanical, and you know where it’s going and you know what it’s doing, but I think when you can write something that just happens where you don’t really understand it as much – you know it’s just a general shape of a song. I mean I feel that way about When the Night Feels my Song too. I remember writing it, but I don’t remember how I wrote it. (Laughs) You could be technically really good at writing something and you could write songs everyday, but only every so often does something happen where it has nothing to do with you, or it just came together. I don’t really feel responsible for them. What’s next for Bedouin? Well we’re going to Leeds and Reading after the Cumberland thing – we’re playing the U.K. for a bit. We’re doing some shows with K’naan, and then we’re kind of just wrapping it up for this record and working on a couple other projects. We’re in a good place right now. We’re inspired and we’re just going to take our time with the next record.

Green Water...UGH. This year has been especially ugly for “green water” in your ponds. We all want a crystal clear beautiful pond .... Green water is a green algae bloom caused by MANY factors; HEAT, POLLEN, NITRATES and PHOSPHATES. Hot days create a better environment for algae to bloom, couple that with the incredible amounts of pollen which help feed algae=GREEN WATER. Weekly water changes and plants help with nitrates, and phosphates need to be Sarah Kirk removed by product. Thankfully Laguna has a full line of Owner products to prevent and treat the problem. PREVENTION; water changes weekly, adding “Barley Straw Pellets” in March and June, good filtration, plants, PhosX in your filter, Laguna Bio Booster/Bio Sludge weekly...this will help dramatically, however in the end you may still have to use Laguna Clearfast or a UV sterilizer. GREEN WATER BLOOM; water change weekly, add Laguna CLEARFAST which clumps algae allowing your filter to remove it. Laguna PhosX to remove PHOSPHATES, and Laguna Bio Booster/Bio Sludge weekly help to add good bacteria that will consume nitrates. UV Sterilizer available in a filter unit; Laguna Pressure Flo, or as an inline unit. UV sterilization kills algae resulting in clear ponds always. We run our UV from April to October, then turn it off. Every 12 months of USE the bulb will need to be replaced, but your pond will be crystal clear ALWAYS, when using a UV sterilizer. Pond season is wrapping up for us now. We will not be ordering any more fish or plants until next year, so come get what you need before it’s gone!

Just as all insurance products are different, so are all insurance companies. Shopping for the right coverage for you encompasses more than just looking for the lowest price. Factors such as: ﬁnancial stability–will the company still be around when the claim is Darlene Garat made, and does the company have a Financial Advisor long standing reputation for paying out claims quickly and without dispute (not all do). Low cost also often means the coverage decreases with the debt balance it is assigned to so they are both gone at the same time – common with most mortgage insurance policies. Insurance brokers, because they are contracted with many insurance companies – not just one – can help you make an informed decision on which company to invest your trust, and your premium dollars, in for the best coverage for your needs and budget.

Yes. Stress is the root of most disease in the Western world, so relieving stress should certainly be a priority. In a Bikram Yoga class you will leave all your stressors at the door and spend ninety uninterrupted minutes on your own health and well-being. There is no room for outside thoughts during Mimosa Palmberg, your Bikram Yoga class, as your 100% Yoga Instructor attention is required for your practice.The room is hot, the practice is challenging, and the teacher is continuously giving instructions so that there is no time for thoughts about your job, family, house, or whatever else the source of your stress is. Based on this practice, you will also cultivate your own stress-relieving strategies and patience with yourself and others to carry through to your day-today life. Don’t be scared to leave your daily life behind for 90 minutes.The chores will still be there, the work will still be there, and your family will still be there needing you when you come out of the room. The difference is that you will have more to give to them in return.

Why do you recommend Verry Berry over all of the other high anti-oxidant juice concentrates on the market? Verry Berry is the only juice concentrate on the market that is 100% organic. It is made from six different fruits including blackberry, raspberry, cranberry, pomegranate, concord grapes and blueberry. Dr. Ingrid Pincott ND When you concentrate berries and Naturopathic Physician fruits you also concentrate pesticides and herbicides so it is very important that the fruit is organic. Verry berry is also very high in anthocyanidin content. These are the pigments in the berries that may prevent chronic degenerative disease and are often removed in standard food processing. Verry Berry has a very high anti-oxidant ORAC score and ½ teaspoon is equivalent to one pint of berries. These antioxidants are critical for healthy aging of the brain, heart, eyes, lungs, digestive tract and skin. Come in for a free taste test! You will love it especially with cod liver oil!

Interstitial cystitis is a condition where the urinary bladder is inflamed and painful for an unknown reason. The pain makes cats feel like they need to urinate. It has a complicated sounding name largely because it is very poorly understood. When medical professionals don’t understand something, they tend to use big words to make themselves sound smart. Women can suffer from a nearly identical condition and we don’t understand it any Dr. Kevin Penner better in human medicine either. Veterinarian Cats with interstitial cystitis tend to urinate in all sorts of places other than the litter box. They don’t do it out of spite or because they’re bad cats. When they get the urge to urinate, they often just can’t make it to the litter box. In male cats the inflammation can even lead to a life-threatening urinary blockage. Sadly, many cats end up being put down because of this frustrating condition. We don’t yet know what causes interstitial cystitis but there seem to be two important factors: stress and dehydration. Cats evolved as desert creatures that got almost all of their water from their food. Many cats eating only dry food just don’t drink enough water and live in a state of borderline dehydration. This results in very strongly concentrated urine that irritates the bladder wall. Many cats also have a stressful bathroom experience. Noisy appliances or high-traffic near the litter box as well as filthy or scented litter boxes all lead to stress and potentially interstitial cystitis.

YES! Especially for children who absorb everything more efﬁciently. The Electro-Magnetic Frequency is the measure of radiation that comes from wireless technology. It is similar to radiation from microwave ovens and will create a “heating” effect on Maria S. Lee, B.Sc. Hons. the point of contact, especially with cell phones. In time this may result in tumors or impaired hearing. This thermal effect may cause headaches, fatigue, learning difﬁculties, insomnia, etc. People working with computers may also experience skin and immune problems.

Cabin air filters clean the incoming air and remove allergens.

One of the main reasons to buy anything starts with “trust”. Beachcomber is the only manufacturer in the world that does not have a Terry Collins limited warranty versus our Owner Beachcomber Guarantee, our guarantee protects the retail customer not like all the other manufactures with a limited warranty that has exclusions, disclaimers etc. I think every manufacturer would have the “trust” in their hot tubs to give retail customer a guarantee as strong as Beachcomber.

Looking for a mortgage when you have no credit, can sometimes feel as difﬁcult as if you have bad credit.When it comes to credit, lenders will want to see a history (through the credit bureau) of your habits of repayment. If Susanne Grundison, you have not had a chance to establish Mortgage Specialist credit with credit cards or loans or prefer to pay cash, there are some things you can do to prove your credit worthiness. Firstly, look at the monthly bills you do pay. Cell phones, utilities and rent are all things that you can get a letter proving you make your payments on time. A letter from your landlord, BC Hydro, Telus, Rogers and Shaw will help me establish your ability to handle monthly obligations. Secondly, if we still need it, you may need a cosigner. This must be a family member who is willing to sign as a guarantor on the mortgage. Most times, if you continue in your job, and we can get you established with some credit history, we can have them removed off the mortgage in a year or two. It can seem embarrassing to ask, but if able, most families are willing to help you in your quest get ahead. Never hesitate to consider getting preapproved before you start looking for a home. This enables you to get rate protection and will give you the tools to succeed. Call me anytime.

We often get asked about the care of Laptop batteries. Here are a few hints to maximize your battery life... 1. Let your battery charge up completely when you first install it. 2. Charge your battery often, but Don Andrews & Dave Shook now and then draw it down 90% and then charge it fully. Older Ni-cad batteries should be fully discharged and charged every two weeks. 3. Your battery has a finite number of charge cycles (anywhere from 500 - 1000 for most batteries or 1.5 to 3 years) so do not expose it to high temperatures (i.e. hot car) or freezing temperatures for extended periods. Even a few hours at high temperatures can cause it to loose several charge/discharge cycles and shorten it’s life. 4. Remove the battery from your laptop if storing unused for more than two weeks. Store the battery at about 40% charge in a cool, clean, dry location. 5. Consider removing the battery when running on fixed power. However, remember that when you have removed the battery, the automatic battery charger no longer keeps the battery charged.

I keep hearing the term high-def when I’m looking for glasses?

Good idea. They’re a clean look and can be effective lighting. But before you plan your lighting, you should know this about pot lights: 1) they throw light down, but not to the sides, so it requires quite a few of them Randy Beaulieu, Owner to light an area. 2) because many are needed, they are expensive, $65 to $95 installed. A kitchen, for example, will require 5 to 10 pot lights to do what one or two ﬁxtures will do. 3) Most importantly, pot lights are only effective if they are positioned properly. Do yourself a favour, don’t trust your lighting layout to anyone except a lighting professional. It’s a lot cheaper and easier to get it right the ﬁrst time.

Electric motor powered scooters do not require a license or insurance provided they meet the following criteria: • Not exceed 32km per hour • Pedals must be attached Stan Elliott • Conform to trafﬁc laws for Owner bicycles • Minimum age 16 years Electric scooters that exceed 32 km per hour must be licensed, drivers license required but no motorcycle endorsement needed. It is recommended that persons operating an unlicensed electric vehicle, purchase liability insurance to protect against actions that may be taken against them in the event of damage to persons or property.

In addition to deciding what type, make and model of vacuum cleaner will do the best job for you, consumers now have a choice between vacuums that require a collection bag and those that don’t. Which style is better? A bagged vacuum offers numerous advantages over bagless, the two most important being dust containment and primary filtration. While all vacuums have some sort of filter protecting the motor and many have exhaust air Steve Halliday, filters, it is the bag that provides the Owner primary filtration by trapping the vast majority of the dust entering the vacuum. When the bag needs changing (generally half-full is the best time to change them), it offers a much tidier method of disposal. In a bagless vacuum, the filters are exposed to the air-flow to trap particles while heavier debris is collected in the dust cup. Therefore the filters are prone to clogging unless cleaned out regularly – failure to do so will result in poor vacuum performance and more frequent filter replacements. Both systems work well, but going bagless means keeping your filters clean or replacing them regularly - which will largely eliminate any savings from not buying bags.

A29

Strathcona Provincial Park celebrates its accessibility Family Fun Day set for Aug. 21 In June 1910, Sir Richard McBride, Premier of B.C., reserved an area in the centre of Vancouver Island for a park. The park was named Strathcona after Donald Alexander Smith – Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal, Alberta. Lord Strathcona was also well known for having driven the last

spike on the trans-continental railway. To for malize the extent of the park, Price Ellison, Minister of Lands, set off to explore the area and reached the top of Crown Mountain on July 29, 1910. Crown Mountain’s location afforded an incredible view of some of the most impressive sum-

mits on Vancouver Island, undoubtedly confirming this area as the new park. After completing his trip, Ellison submitted his report of the expedition to the BC Cabinet and on March 11, 1911, Strathcona Park was officially designated and became BC’s first Provincial Park. One hundred years have now past and BC Parks is celebrating its’ Centennial with events around the province. Sponsored by Mountain Equipment Co-op and the provincial

gover nment’’s Park Enhancement Fund, the Accessible Wilderness Society together with BC Parks, the Campbell River and Comox Valley Access Committees, Strathcona Wilderness Institute, and Mount Washington Alpine Resort, are inviting everyone to visit Paradise Meadows in Strathcona Park on Aug. 21 for a Family Fun Day for EveryBody. Unlike the time of Ellison’s expedition, Strathcona Park is now Continued on A30

Family Fund Day for Every-Body will be held on Aug. 21 at Strathcona Park and marks the opening of the barrier-free, 2 km. Centennial Loop which encourages wheelchair accessibility and will have the trail Rider, a one-wheeled chair that makes rougher trails more accessible.

Strathcona: Everyone can experience the park with wheelchairs or scooters. T h e re a re m a ny people who believe that Strathcona Park is only accessible by the physically strong and able, and while the park does offer challenging destinations, there are trails suited to every ability level. The intent of Family Fun Day for EveryBody, is to raise everyone’s awareness about the parks’ accessibility and get people to come out and experience it,

Continued from A29 more accessible than ever and this Centennial Event is designed to encourage everyone to come up and enjoy this magnificent subalpine area. With the completion of the barrier-free, 2 km Centennial Loop and the Strathcona Park Wilderness Centre in 2010, Paradise Meadows can now be explored by young and old, families with strollers, seniors with walkers and visitors

perhaps for the first time. The event will run from 12:30-3:30 p.m., with a Naturalist lead tour around the Centennial Loop starting at 1 p.m. While there will be some refreshments available including complimentary Centennial Cake, donated by Thrifty Foods, a picnic lunch is suggested for those who may build up a strong appetite. The Honourable Steven Fletcher, Gov-

ernment of Canada’s Minister of State (Transport) will also be attending the day’s event on the mountain. At the trailhead, located beside Mount Washington’s Nordic Raven Lodge (not the upper main alpine lodge), visitors will find the wheelchair accessible, Strathcona Park Wilderness Centre, which is operated by the non-profit Strathcona Wilderness Institute.

Inside the building, they hope to have free, ongoing viewings of the “Strathcona Centennial Expedition” movie. Also on site will be a free to use, spare wheelchair fitted with the incredible “Free-Wheel” attachment (allows ordinary wheelchairs to smoothly glide over uneven terrain) with a spare for those wishing to try the attachment on their own chair.

Health Fair is a must-go destination this year This is the first year that the Immigrant Welcome Centre of Campbell River is hosting a large-scale health fair on North Vancouver Island on Saturday. Welcoming everyone – this free event has something fun for everyone! The Executive Director of the Immigrant Welcome Centre Rachel Blaney said; “There are many ways to live healthier. We understand this and that’s why we organize the Diversity Health fair to alert people at the importance of improving their health and interacting with the great variety of health services in

our community.” There is the physical aspect of health, but there is more to it than just eating right and not smoking. The fact is that health also includes taking care of oneself on an emotional level, daily diet and exercise. This event is a fun way to broaden people’s horizons on how different ways can work together to promote both physical and emotional well-being of individuals. “We all have only one life and it is our responsibility to take care of ourselves,” Blaney said. Open from 10 to 12, no admission fee and a lot of amazing prizes there is no reason to miss this great event on Aug. 13.

Hospital auxiliary commits to another big project and needs volunteers Au x i l i a r i e s h ave made great contributions to the well being of clients and staff ever since hospitals were first established on Vancouver Island in the mid 1800s. Now the Campbell River Hospital Thrift and Gift Shops are getting ready to raise $40,000 for renovations in the Sunshine Wellness Outpatient Centre and they’re calling on the community to find volunteers to help with is project. This important renovation includes the construction of two medical specialists’ of fices, fur nishing them with stretchers and other necessary equipment. Other renovations include the addition of two washrooms and a free standing office in the foyer area.

The $40,000 commitment was agreed to at the June meeting of the Campbell River Hospital Auxiliary. The money will be raised through sales at the Hospital Gift Shop and Thrift Shop, both of which are in significant need of volunteers. If you would be interested in volunteering one three-hour shift per week, contact the Hospital Volunteer Department at 250850-2420 or Volunteer Campbell River at 250287-8111. Volunteers are an important part of the VIHA family and are valued members of the health care team; providing selfless service and dedication and helping to make our hospitals and residential care facilities better places.

Riding for a cause

Kristen Douglas Black Press

fter losing his mom to cancer at the age of 16, Campbell River’s Shawn Hall knew he wanted to do something to help others fight the disease. When the opportunity to ride in the Canadian Cancer Society’s Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock came along, he jumped at the chance. “I’ve always wanted to do something for a worthy cause, especially Special cancer,” said feature Hall, a firefighter and an auxiliary Black Press police officer newspapers on with the Vancouver Island Campbell River will publish this RCMP. “It’s special feature something I don’t page spotlighting wish on any kid. police officers I saw the tour as taking part an opportunity in this year’s to help.” Canadian Cancer Although Society his cycling Cops for Cancer experience was Tour de Rock. limited, Hall said other police officers recognized the tour as something he would enjoy and be successful at. “Working up at the detachment, a couple of officers said, ‘Hey Shawn, you’d be good at that,’” Hall said. “It was definitely something I wanted to do, but I didn’t know if I was in good enough shape. I wasn’t too sure.” Before signing up for the tour, Hall occasionally would take his road bike for a spin, but nothing too serious. He has, however, cycled competitively on two different occasions. Twice he took part in the Comox Valley’s Royal LePage Snow to Surf Adventure Relay which combines skiing, running,

Campbell River firefighter and auxiliary RCMP officer Shawn Hall will ride the length of Vancouver Island in the Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock to raise money for pediatric cancer research. mountain biking, kayaking, road cycling and canoeing. To gear up for the much longer, 1,000-kilometre Tour de Rock, which takes cyclists from one end of the Island to the other, Hall has been cycling three days a week. He and a team of police

officers and media personalities who represent the north half of the Island, ride together to build up their strength and endurance. On Tuesdays the group focuses on hill riding, typically 30 to 40 kilometres at a time, while Thursday night is reserved

for practising speed, again usually a 30- to 40-kilometre ride. Sundays are when the group does a more relaxing, but longer ride. Those trips tend to be around 100 kilometres. As the northern most member of the team, Hall typically has to drive down to either the Comox Valley, Parksville or Nanaimo for each ride. “It’s a lot of travel, definitely the whole summer it’s been a big commitment between training and fundraising, but it’s a good cause,” Hall said. So far, fundraisers have included a golf tournament at Storey’s Creek, bagging groceries at Thrifty Foods and cycling for about an hour on a stationary bicycle during Canada Day festivities. Hall plans to hold a few car washes and barbecues later this summer, as well as a possible wine tasting in the fall. The highlight of the journey so far for Hall was a recent trip to Camp Goodtimes on the Lower Mainland, a week-long summer camp for kids and teens battling cancer and their families. “We hung out with the kids and did a casino night with them,” Hall said. “We each took a game station and the kids went through and used fake money and they had a great time. We even had a pay-itforward booth where the kids could donate the money they had won to a charity.” Hall said thinking of those kids, and others who are battling cancer, will be what helps him push through the gruelling 14-day ride this fall. “It’s a long time to be on a bike, but then it’s not so bad when you think of why you’re riding and you just push through the pain because you know there’s kids going through worse than you.”
