Band wants regional district to butt out KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The chief of the We Wai Kai First Nation is not pleased the Strathcona Regional District may seek heritage protection for the Cape Mudge Lighthouse. Chief Ralph Dick says the land surrounding the Quadra Island lightstation belongs to the We Wai Kai/Cape Mudge Band and he doesn’t understand why the Regional District is trying to protect a lighthouse it does not have direct access to. “We want them to just butt out, we don’t want them involved at all,” Dick says. “They can’t get at it by road or water, it’s our land all around it, so we’re quite upset they’re trying to muscle in there. “We’re planning to keep it the Continued on A3 RON NICOLAYE/SPECIAL TO THE MIRROR
A Toyota FJ Cruiser ended up on its roof Tuesday evening after the driver lost control of the vehicle and it veered off the road near the Hilchey and S. Island Highway intersection.
Vehicle rolls over onto beach logs A single vehicle ended up on its roof after leaving the roadway and landing on the beach Tuesday evening. The incident occurred around 6:43 p.m. near the intersection of
Hilchey Rd. and S. Island Highway. RCMP officers determined that the vehicle, a Toyota FJ Cruiser, was traveling south on the highway when the driver lost con-
trol and veered left. The vehicle went over the curb and crashed through bushes before reaching the beach. It then landed on several logs which caused it to overturn. The 53-year-old male
Campbell River driver was transported to hospital via ambulance with unconfirmed injuries. No names have been released and the incident is under investigation.

A Campbell River RCMP officer in the Community Response Unit received a phone call from a man trying to purchase $100 worth of drugson Aug. 6. The officer quickly realized that the man had dialed the wrong number, and arranged a meeting. A short time later, the man called the officer again to confirm the meeting and asked if the officer would trade some oxycodone for the $100 worth of drugs. The officer then met with the suspect a short time later and effected an arrest. While searching the suspect the officer seized a concealed weapon. Police are currently seeking charge approval for weapons charges against a 37-year-old Campbell River man.
Lighthouse: Building is owned by the Coast Guard Continued from A1
way it is, we’re not planning to rip it down or anything because it’s of value to us.” The staffed, fullyfunctioning Cape Mudge Lighthouse is one of four stations in the Strathcona Regional District and could be nominated for protection from demolition or sale by the Canadian Coast Guard through the Heritage Lighthouse Protection Act. In order to be nominated, a petition with 25 signatures must be submitted to Parks Canada. The Regional District considered a report last week to nominate the Cape Mudge, Chatham Point, and Lookout Island lighthouses for heritage designation but directors asked for more information and will re-consider any action next month.
Dick wants to see the Cape Mudge Lighthouse protected but doesn’t want the Re gional District’s help. “We’ve been at this a long time and now one of these Johnny-comelatelys come in and try to take over,” Dick says. “They didn’t even consult with us and (instead) they go in and do whatever they please.” Jim Abram, vicechair of the Strathcona Regional District Board and an advocate for lighthouses and their keepers for 25 years, says he only has the best interests of the lighthouse in mind and although the surrounding lands are owned by the First Nations, the lighthouse itself is not. “The building is owned by the Coast Guard and will continue to be owned by
the Federal Government no matter what,” Abram says. “Even if the (We Wai Kai) First Nations claimed the land as theirs, it would still be owned and operated by the Coast Guard, it’s part of their mandate.” Abram says he figured Dick would be happy to see the lighthouse acquire heritage status. “It’s got nothing to do with the land or title or Aboriginal rights, it just has to do with the building itself,” Abram says. “He knows as well as I do that the Coast Guard is our worst enemy as far as lightstations are concerned. “They’ve never done anything that could quantify as favourable towards lightstations.” Dick says the bottom line is “we just don’t like things being rammed down our
throat” and the We Wai Kai feel the Regional District has taken them for granted.
Battle for land
However, the government this year completed a clean-up of the land and again offered it back. “They gave it back to
The two acres of land the Cape Mudge Lighthouse sits on was expropriated from the We Wai Kai First Nation by the Government of Canada in 1898 “in a private transaction behind closed doors and without the knowledge or permission from our ancestors,” Dick says. The First Nation has been in dispute with the federal gover nment for more than 50 years over the land and improvements but recently the government offered the land back. Dick says the We Wai Kai were unable to accept the land back because it had suffered from contamination.

City to ban ‘sign pollution’ during elections KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Political campaign signs will be absent from the city’s waterfront this November when the municipal election campaign gets underway. An amendment to the city’s sign bylaw to ban election candidate signs along the water was given first, second and third reading at Tuesday’s city council meeting. “I’m one of the culprits who wanted this because of what I call ‘sign pollution’ during elections,” said Coun.

Roy Grant. “I think the whole idea here, in my opinion, is that all election signs should be on private property. That’s what I’ve done in the past.” Provincial, federal, municipal election, as well as any referendum signs are banned from public property along the ocean side of the Island Highway between 1st Avenue a n d O c e a n G rove Road under the bylaw change. Coun. Andy Adams, who was not in attendance at Tuesday’s meeting, brought forward his concerns over
election signs in May. He said at the time, election signs were taking away from the city’s natural beauty. “I’d like to look into some sort of bylaw to protect our waterfront from being littered with signs as it was in the last municipal election, which was an embarrassment to our community,” Adams had said. The Supreme Court of Canada ruled in 1993 that a municipality cannot ban election signs from all public property but the City of Campbell River already has a bylaw
that prohibits election signs from public parks. Peter Wipper, city clerk, said taking that into account, it seems reasonable that the city “should continue to ban election signage on park property and this could easily include the city’s waterfront walkway.” Mayor Charlie Cornfield didn’t see the need for the new rules. “It’s personally never bothered me. It’s in such a short period of time, as long as they’re cleaned up afterwards,” Cornfield said. “I think signage is a necessary
operations. “Parts of it are in excess of 60 years old. “Staff have responded to water main breaks but also water service

An outpouring of opposition to a neighbourhood re-zoning prompted city council to drop the homeowner’s project. Bar ry Forberg wanted to re-zone his property at 367 S McLean Street to allow a secondary suite in his single-family home but council refused to give him the okay. “There’s so many not in favour of this re-zone that I will not support it,” said Coun.

all within 100 metres of Forberg’s home were sent to City Hall, strongly against the rezoning. After attending a neighbourhood meeting in Forberg’s garage in June, most came away with the impression that the secondary suite would turn the home into a duplex. “The suite is not an ‘in-law suite’ as I initially thought, but a complete re-make of the lower level of the house, complete with private parking, private entrance and completely independent laundry and household services,” said one neighbour

Neighbourhood objects to re-zoning Ron Dworski in a letter to the city. “In my opinion, it was more akin to a duplex rather than a suite.” Coun. Roy Grant questioned whether there was some miscommunication between the city and the neighbours. “This is simply a secondary suite,” Grant said. “I’m wondering if possibly staff might have given the wrong information or impression to the neighbours because of the number of letters that mentioned a duplex.” He also acknowledged that this is not the first time people have fought change in their neighbourhood. “Often times when there’s a re-zoning such as this there are sensitivities, especially in neighbourhoods such as this where the character has already been

established,” Grant said. Just last month, a proposal for a subdivision on Jacqueline Road was similarly defeated because neighbours put up such strong opposition, believing it would alter the atmosphere of the area. Neighbours of the most recent re-zoning proposal also worried about Forberg’s intentions to re-locate to Alberta and the problems that could arise with having what they called an ‘absentee landlord.’ After reading all the letters from neighbours, council refused to make any motion, including to send the proposal to a public hearing, effectively defeating the re-zoning application. Forberg can re-apply for a re-zone in six months.

Rivercorp is on the job Seeking tenant for millsite KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Rivercorp is working with Catalyst Paper to bring work back to the shuttered pulp and paper mill site. Since the company announced the permanent closure of the paper mill last July, there has been much discussion over what to do with the Catalyst property. Most recently Rivercorp has taken up the crusade to help Catalyst find a new tenant. “Some things are inherently confidential, but I can openly say we’re working with Catalyst to help them in whatever way possible to bring back business to that site,”
said Vic Goodman, Chief Operating Officer of Rivercorp, the city’s economic development body. Rivercorp’s second quarter operations report acknowledges the organization is working with Catalyst to identify and attract possible light and heavy industrial firms to bring their business to the old mill site. Rivercorp has also been helping Catalyst with research and facilitating meetings between the two parties. This is the second time in just a few months that the issue of how best to utilize the land has come up. In March the city floated the idea of u s i n g t h e fo r m e r mill site, and nearby ash dump, as a new municipal landfill site
to accommodate the near-capacity Argonaut Road dump. A group of nearby residents strongly objected to that proposal and the idea of having a garbage dump on the ocean. The site will likely n o t b e c o nve r t e d into a landfill after a report from consultants, prepared for the Regional District’s solid waste committee, recommended the district look at different options for waste man-
agement. Catalyst has not made any move to dismantle the former mill site or clear out the area, leaving it available and ready for another industrial operation. Catalyst said last year it chose to close the Elks Falls site, just north of the city, because of a decline in commodity paper markets and uncompetitive labour and tax costs. In its heyday, the mill employed more than 1,000 workers.

Our View
Canadians not insulated from fragile economy August is sometimes seen as a “summer doldrums” period, but such has not been the case on world economic markets, with stock markets in free fall, commodity prices falling and the U.S. credit rating being downgraded for We say: At the the first time in history. same time there While Canada does have many advantages, it is far from insulated. is room for As Finance Minister Jim Flaherty optimism said on Friday, before Monday’s major selloffs, “Canada is not an island. We are a trading nation, with about a third of output generated by exports and deep linkages with the U.S. economy. The global economic recovery remains fragile and
this uncertainty may eventually impact Canada.” The softness of the economy can be seen in many areas. High gas prices all this year have affected consumer spending. Governments at all levels continue to want more tax dollars (including more gas tax) from taxpayers, most of whom are making no more than they were three years ago. These and other factors have kept people from spending money the way they did in the mid-2000s. Money isn’t as easy to come by, and there is no sign that good times are coming anytime soon. There is no doubt that the economy is changing, and where it is going is pretty hard for anyone to predict. However, all of us are part of a global economy which
has been hit by many challenges in recent years, from the U.S. subprime mortgage mess to European governments being unable to pay their debts. More of these types of unexpected occurrences will come along, and Canada will have to deal with the fallout as it affects businesses and individuals, and ultimately governments, in this country. All of it can be overwhelming, yet at the same time there is room for optimism. Canadians have weathered difficult times in the past, and Canadian attributes of hard work, caution and innovation can come to the forefront again. But that is no reason for Canadians not to proceed with a great deal of caution. – Black Press
Good point: Can limit The semi-recent limit to our garbage pickup has left me in a conundrum. I exceed the one-can limit every week, or should I call it the 3/4 can limit? We are a family of four with two being teenagers as well as weekend visits from my daughter and son-in-law. It is not unusual for me to walk into my house to find my kids and their friends crowded around the living room drinking slurpees while they hang out socializing. I am quite often left with 4 or 5 large slurpee cups sitting on my coffee table or if I am lucky on my kitchen counter. My point is, it is tough to meet the weekly limit in our household. I understand the city is trying to force us to amend our ways, and we had, long before the limit was enforced. We always recycled anything that is recyclable. My husband faithfully packed it all up and sorted it, then delivered it weekly to the Strathcona recycling bins. We bring back all our bottles to the bottle depot and we even used our composter out back so in a nut shell we had made every effort to help keep our garbage waste down to a minimum. Now times have changed with the one-can limit. I won’t say we don’t recycle anymore because we do. However, now our routine includes trips to the landfill to dispose of the excess garbage. What are we supposed to do with it? We do all the right things and still exceed our limit every week. The conundrum? Are you wondering what it is now? Continued on A11
A task force should study the hypocrisy of it all
Sian Thomson Just Cause
So here we have it, reported in both papers recently. There was a great deal of donations to support a dog show, tireless radio coverage of amateur sports, support for blood donor clinics, special Olympics, cops for cancer, money for an environmental project, art appreciation day, heritage day, family fun day, all overshadowed by the total obliteration of hope for the homeless and working poor of Campbell River and a big slap in the face to the founders of Hope Outreach Society. This is all thanks to the not-in-my backyard attitudes and the lets-haveanother-coalition driven city hall. There is just cause to suggest that the City of Campbell River and many of the citizens here don’t turn their backs on show dogs, sports, mental
handicaps, cancer, the environment or families. But they certainly have no time for, say, the dogs of homeless people, the environment where people live in tents and under tarps, the poor kid who cannot eat three meals a day so certainly cannot afford sports equipment, the malnourished anemic minimum wage worker who has to miss work and therefore misses earning his rent money, the high percentage of marginalized people with mental conditions who did not have supportive families or coaches, or the people on welfare or disability pensions who are fighting cancer. Hope Outreach offered just that; hope beyond conventional limits due to years of failed policies and whacky priorities by “leaders” who
make decisions about these issues by chronically appointing task forces that take agency workers out of their offices to attend expensive and endless workshops. Those workers then come up with strategies for problems in this area but don’t want to see it out their windows or near their businesses. Who are these people? How did they end up homeless? Why aren’t they staying in a shelter? How can they be employed and hungry and homeless? What obstacles are preventing them from getting off the streets and into housing? These are the questions we really need to learn the answers to and you do that by hanging out with the Hope
Outreach Society on site, not sitting in a conference room jacking up an expense account. Why is the City of Campbell River spending money – a significant amount of money – task forcing and work-shopping the issue to death? Shame on us for politicizing homelessness, shame on us for not facilitating hope that food, clothing and emotional support can and will be provided out of a van run by two older Christian women from a consistent location while you are all in your workshops talking about it. The little green van with the yellow cross and the big word “Hope” has been run out of your neighborhood. Maybe the next workshop for our “Homeless Task Force” should be about the hypocrisy of it all.

Stock the Lockers
Determining Vehicle Speed from Yaw Marks When a vehicle is in yaw it is rotating around a vertical axis through it’s center of mass. The long, curved Y shaped marks left by the tires on the pavement were characteristic of this motion. If they were striated and of constantly diminishing radius they were of great interest for collision reconstruction because the vehicle’s speed could be determined from them. A series of chord and middle ordinate measurements were made of the outside front tire mark at regular intervals starting where the outside rear tire started to track outside of the path of the front tire. These measurements were used to calculated the radius of the curved tire mark and the series was compared to insure that the radius was continually getting smaller. If so, this was a true yaw and combined with the co-efficient of friction for the road surface, the vehicle speed could be calculated. For the simplest case, a flat road, the equation speed equals 11.27 times the square root of the front tire mark radius multiplied by the co-efficient of friction of the road surface would yield the speed of the vehicle at that point of the yaw in km/h. This equation and the method of measuring the yaw was exhaustively tested when I was a collision analyst. We would gather for training sessions, usually on an airstrip somewhere, and one of the senior reconstructionists would induce a yaw in our test vehicle while we measured speed with radar. The outcome of our calculations agreed closely with the measured speed. The author is a retired constable with many years of traffic enforcement experience.

Snow pack is melting With water inflows dropping off, BC Hydro will reduce the Campbell River flow from 85 cubic metres per second to about 60 cubic metres per second by Monday. Power generation will be reduced by about seven m3/s per day. “The drop of about 25 m3/s from the current Campbell River flow will provide recreation users with better river accessibility for nearly one month,” Watson says. Beginning in midSeptember, BC Hydro will slowly increase river flows to lower the reservoirs in anticipation of the fall rains and for flood risk management.
The snow pack is now almost gone and water inflows into the Campbell River system have dropped off over the past week, says BC Hydro. “The Upper Campbell Reservoir/Buttle Lake water level is slowly declining from its peak and BC Hydro can now reduce the Campbell River flow below the John Hart Generating Station for better recreation fishing access,” Stephen Watson, spokesperson for Hydro, announced Wednesday. The Upper Campbell Reservoir hit a high of 220.1 metres and now sits at 219.85 m.

Celebrate centennial at Strathcona Park As summer peaks in Paradise Meadows, programs at the Strathcona Park Wilderness Centre are in full swing, with continuing special events for Strathcona Park’s Centennial year. The centre is located at the Paradise Meadows trailhead to Strathcona Park, and is operated by the Strathcona Wilderness Institute (SWI), a non-profit Society. The Centre, adjacent to Mt Washington Resort’s Raven Lodge, is staffed for visitor information on Saturdays, Sundays and holiday Mondays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.; as well as on most weekdays, thanks to volunteers. SWI programs include Nature Walks & Talks of about 2 hours. Level 1 Hikes are 3-4 hours with a guide, for all ages. Level 2 Hikes are 5-7 hours with a guide, for intermediate hikers. Level 3 Hikes are 8-10 hours, for fit hikers only. Centennial Events are special programs for Strathcona Park’’s 100th year. On Saturday, the Centennial focus will be at the Buttle Lake area of Strathcona Park, as SWI joins the “Strathcona Wilderness Festival” at the Price Creek trailhead. Everyone is welcome from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m to celebrate the Park with all-ages activities from hiking to story-telling. For more information, and for transportation options to Buttle Lake

Wellbehaved dogs on leash are welcome.” Pre-register at coordinator@ strathconapark.org as the group size is limited to 15 people. For those who want a more leisurely appreciation of Strathcona Park, on Sun. Aug 28 there are two programs: at 10 a.m., join well-known nature photographer Chris Carter for Great PhotoOps in Paradise Meadows – an excursion into
the meadows looking for interesting subjects and compositions - no camera needed. This Art & Nature Talk & Walk will go rain or shine – in fact damp weather can be optimum for flower photography. In the afternoon at 1 p.m. join SWI director Lindsay Elms for a Strathcona Park Centennial presentation: History of Strathcona: Stories of the Park. Elms is an experienced mountaineer & author of Beyond Nootka: a Historical Perspective of Vancouver Island Mountains.

Keegan to set sail for juvenile diabetes RENÉE ANDOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
K
eegan Taberner is not your average high school student. The 17-year-old Campbell Riverite is planning a sailing adventure to Hawaii and back after he graduates from Timberline Secondary next June. But this is not just a big trip; it’s a big trip with a big cause. Taberner has had juvenile (type 1) diabetes since he was two years old, and his mission is to raise as much money as he can for diabetes research through the trip dubbed Keegan Taberner’s Sail for Juvenile Diabetes. He is already planning the trip and looking for companies to sponsor him, as well as donations from anyone and everyone who would like to support his mission. “It is a little ways away, but I want to start getting the word out there, getting it in everybody’s head to help spread the word,” said Taberner. “I do need to get some fundraising done between here and then because I want to raise quite a
RENÉE ANDOR/THE MIRROR
Seventeen-year-old Keegan Taberner plans to sail 16,000 kilometres in the Pacific Ocean when he graduates Timberline Secondary School next June. He is doing the trip to raise funds and awareness for juvenile (type 1) diabetes, which he has had since he was two years old.
bit of money.” He will leave from Campbell River and travel down as far as Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, before heading over to Hawaii, U.S.A., then back to the Strait of Juan de Fuca and
up to Campbell River, travelling about 16,000 kilometres in total. He plans to leave on June 26 and return on Dec. 30 – about six months in total – which he admits is quite fast for the distance he will
travel. “It’s definitely not a cruising trip; it is a trip to get the word out there and spread the message,” said Taberner. Taberner will have help in his quest to
spread the message; he plans to find two shipmates to come along with him on the trip. He has talked to a couple of classmates about it, but hasn’t settled on who it will be quite yet.
Taberner has been around boats since he was a kid, going “cruising” with family and friends. He was recently certified by the International Sail and Power Association, and plans to take
more sailing courses during the school year. He also plans to buy a small training sail boat to take for overnight trips in the Discovery Islands. “I am going to spend the next year getting more experience because you can never have enough,” said Taberner. “I want to spend some time in heavier winds – stuff that might be a little bit unexpected, but you might find out there.” Taberner will then upsize to something “blue water ready,” meaning a 36-40 foot sail boat equipped for the open ocean. Along the way Taberner will be stopping in communities to spread the word and fundraise for the disease. He said this cause is very important to him because of his first hand experience with juvenile diabetes. “I’ve lived with it for 15 years basically,” said Taberner. “I know what it’s like and I just want to help all the kids out there and try to make a difference.” For more information, or to make a donation, go to www. keegantaberner.com.

Chelsea Holley holding her five-month-old son Jared (left), while her other son, one-year-old Nolan (right), waters the food bank garden bed at Laughing Willow Community Garden in Willow Point.
helsea Holley’s dream is coming to fruition – to fill Campbell River with community gardens. She just started Laughing Willow Community Garden this past spring but all 19 plots were spoken for within a few months, and there’s already a waiting list. “It’s been a success for sure,” said
Holley. “I don’t think we know quite how this is going to affect the community yet, but I think it’s going to have an effect on everybody in a positive way.” Holley moved to Campbell River with her family about three years ago and noticed a lack of community gardens in town. In the spring of 2010 she started talking to the community about it to see if the idea was something locals were
interested in. She found out that many Campbell Riverites were very interested. “A lot of people thought this was a good idea; it just took somebody to say ‘I can guide it somewhere if other people get involved,’” explained Holley. So after getting a number of volunteers on board, she got approval from the City of Campbell River to build the garden in what used to be

Simms Park, on the corner of Simms Rd. and Lawson Grove in Willow Point. Holley said the hardest part of getting the garden into gear was fundraising, but she was impressed with Campbell River’s generosity. “In the end this community was unbelievable. We had huge donations by all kinds of people,” said Holley. “We had so much help from the community.” The City donated almost $10,000 towards the construction of the garden, and a number of local businesses donated funds, as well as individuals in the community. While growers are only charged $35 per year to use a plot, (which includes soil), Holley estimates each plot cost about $150 to build, plus the construction of a surrounding fence, a shed, and a layer of bark mulch covering the ground, among other things like hoses and compost containers. The garden also has a large bed in the back to grow food for the local food bank. With the late start of the growing season, Holly said the food bank garden doesn’t have as much food growing in it as she would like, but said it will be more productive in the future. “We’re going to organize a team, and get somebody to come in and help us plan it out so we are turning out as much food as we can to the food bank,” explained Holley. And Laughing Willow Community Garden is not the end of Holley’s mission to grow food in Campbell River. She is working with Greenways Land Trust – which oversees Laughing Willow Community Garden – and the City to create more community gardens all over Campbell River. “That’s been part of the vision right from the beginning; sustainable, organic, family friendly gardening all over the city,” said Holley. “We want to work with the City, with the community, and take old lots that aren’t being used anymore and turn them into gardens.”

Three historic military designations restored to honour Vancouver Island North MP John Duncan likes the new “old” names for the Canadian armed forces. Duncan, Member of Parliament for Vancouver Island North and Minister of Aboriginal Affairs, welcomed the announcement made by the Honourable Peter MacKay, Minister of National Defence, that the Government of Canada has restored the use of the historic designations of the three former military services: the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN), the Canadian Army (CA), and the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). “I am very proud that our government has restored this important link between our serving military members and the veterans who served in defence of Canada so courageously in the past,” said MP Duncan. “Restoring these historic identities is an important way of reconnecting today’s men and women in uniform with the proud history and traditions they carry with them as members of the Canadian Forces.” said Minister Mackay. On February 1, 1968, the gover nment of the day amended the National Defence Act
to unify the Canadian Forces. In that process, the identities of the Royal Canadian Navy, the Canadian Army, and the Royal Canadian Air Force ceased to be used and were replaced by Maritime Command, Land Force Command, and Air Command. This decision restores the original historic identities while retaining the organizational benefits of unification. By reinstating the Royal Canadian Navy, the Canadian Army, and the Royal Canadian Air Force, the Government is restoring a central component of Canada’s military heritage. Dating back to the first half of the 20th century, these were the names of the services that fought and emerged victorious from the First World War, the Second World War, and from Korea, and also contributed to deter rence and defence in Europe and North America from the early days of the Cold War. With this decision, these historic identities will return to official use, reminding us of the Canadian tradition of service and sacrifice that today’s men and women in uniform proudly continue.

paint, car batteries, household electronics like computers and televisions, flammable liquids, and pesticides, among other things. Davidson moved to Campbell River 15 years ago to run the depot when it first opened here. Since then, he said it has grown dramatically – his guess is by about 75 per cent – and he said the streets of the community seem cleaner. “They’re just not dumping the stuff the way they used to,” said Davidson. “It just helps the community; it keeps it cleaner.” The Campbell River Bottle Depot also has a bag in the front of the depot where people can drop off their refundable beverage containers to donate money to the local food bank. The depot also accepts refundable beverage containers on behalf of 60-65 local charities. People can drop off their items and the funds then go into the charity account of their choice. “It’s a good way to fundraise,” said Davidson. “There’s sporting clubs, there’s school programs – they come in and they set up an account with us, and anybody who wants to donate to that specific group can bring it in and donate it.” The Campbell River Bottle Depot is open seven days a week, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Mon.-Sat. and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday. Davidson himself is there seven days a week making sure things go smoothly. “No rest for this boy,” said Davidson with a chuckle.

Campbell River goalie camp founders have come full circle
ALISTAIR TAYLOR/THE MIRROR
Horse play The Campbell River Trail Riders held its English Hunter-Jumper Show last weekend. The event attracted horses and their trainers from across Vancouver Island. The group hosts its Western Games this Sunday and the Western Bronze Dressage show on Aug. 27.
A grassroots goalie program returns to where it all began. Campbell Riverites Richard Kirk and Andy Seppanen, two young entrepreneurs who founded Progressive Goaltending will be in Campbell River with the program this Saturday and Sunday. Both men are products of the Campbell River Minor Hockey Association. Both went on to play junior hockey, and then pursued their passion for goaltending in another form – coaching. Last summer the tandem reunited to establish Progressive Goaltending. After only one year in business they are providing goalie development programs for almost half the minor hockey associations on Vancouver Island. What separates Progressive Goaltending from other goaltending camps is its film
analysis teaching method. Goaltenders are filmed during the on-ice portion of the camp, and then receive a classroom setting lecture, and film review of the technical side of the position. “It has proven to be a great teaching method, especially for the younger ages who are fascinated in watching themselves on TV for the first time,� Seppanen says. “It goes a long way in understanding their personal body mechanics in relation to the position.� Campbell River has the opportunity to become the next goaltender hot bed with Progressive Goaltending’s working relationship with Campbell River Minor Hockey. “ We a r e b o t h extremely excited to return home to Campbell River and share this opportunity with aspiring young goaltenders,� says Kirk. “It
gives us the chance to give back to the community in which we grew up in.� The Campbell River content does not end there, as instructors for the camp include former Storm goalie Cory Mullin and current Storm netminder and fan favourite Kieran Anderson. Both also received goaltender coaching from Seppanen and Kirk during their development as a Tyee. Darryl ‘Gump’ Humphrey will once again share his wealth of knowledge during the camp, as ‘Gump’ has been a staple in goaltender development for Campbell River over the past 15 years from the grass roots level up to serving as goalie coach for the Campbell River Storm.

The plight of the plovers “Kill-dee! Kill-dee!” The killdeer’’s call (ergo the name) is easy-to-recognize, and it should be equally easy to identify this common summer resident of Vancouver Island shores. But toss a killdeer in
amongst the other plovers and identification becomes a challenge. The plovers are compact shorebirds with hyperactive beach behaviour. They dash across the sand, stop, and then dash off again, always
in search of worms and crustaceans. Consider the thick black ‘necklace’ or breast band – a wonderfully simple identification tool, or at least it should be. Some plovers boast distinctive
