Bear sniffs man playing dead on Alder Street KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Riley Teufel’s early morning walk turned into a nightmare after a terrifying encounter with a bear forced him to play dead on the side of the road. Teufel, 19, was walking towards the Sportsplex on South Alder Street about 9 a.m. last Saturday morning when he heard a rustling in the bushes. Assuming it was a deer, Teufel was surprised to see a bear emerge from the trail between Candy Lane and the Sportsplex bike bath. “It was fairly big, bigger than me,” Teufel said. “I thought ‘what am I going to do’ and then as I thought that, it started to come towards me so I threw the apple that I had with me and I thought it would go after the apple.” But the bear, which Teufel said had brown fur, wasn’t interested in the apple and instead kept coming closer and closer. In a moment of panic, Teufel couldn’t remember whether to run or lie down when encountering a bear. “Initially my first response was ‘I can sprint fairly well’ but then looking at the size of the bear, I knew it would outrun me so I lay down on the sidewalk and just played dead,” Teufel said. “I thought ‘is this the end?’ and all of a sudden I could feel the bear’s Continued on A3

Rick reports on salmon swimming RENÉE ANDOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
“They were afraid of my dog paddle; I wasn’t very elegant,” said Canadian funny man Rick Mercer of the salmon he swam with in the Campbell River earlier this week. The Rick Mercer Report crew filmed Mercer as he did the Destiny River Adventures’ raft and snorkel with the salmon tour
on the Campbell River this past Tuesday. The show, which airs on CBC, features political comedy as well as zany adventures all over the country. Mercer said he plans to come back to Campbell River as he thoroughly enjoyed the trip. “It was a great day at the office,” said Mercer. “Myself, and my camera man, and the director, we were just pinching
ourselves we were so lucky to be there.” All along the river people were waiting to catch a glimpse of the Canadian icon, and had posted signs reading things like “Welcome Rick,” and “We love you Rick.” And although the famous Newfie said Campbell River and Newfoundland compare like “chalk and cheese” because they are Continued on A3

Bear: Terrible smell
Continued from A1 breath on my face and a terrible smell – it smelled awful.” For about one agonizing minute, the bear sniffed Teufel from his head all the way down to his feet before he heard the bear walk away towards the apple he had thrown. “I heard the crunching but I then I opened my eyes and I could see he still wasn’t leaving. The entire time I just kept thinking, ‘go away, go away’ and then finally I heard a car revving its engine and a horn honking,” Teufel said. Two men driving down the street saw Teufel lying on the ground and the bear nearby and thought he had been mauled. Teufel said one of the men jumped out of the car and ran over to check that he was okay. “I told him I was fine but I was in such shock that I didn’t even thank the guy and I feel awful about that,” Teufel said. “I want to say thank you to both of them for scaring off the bear because I didn’t get a chance to.” Teufel said he’s not sure what type of bear it was that gave him such a scare but said it didn’t look like the black bears he’s seen in the past. He was also surprised at how brazen the bear was considering he didn’t see any cubs nearby. “They’re not usually very aggressive,” Teufel said. “Most bears don’t do much when you see them in the wild but this one came right out to me and was definitely curious because it sniffed me quite a lot – they don’t do that too often.” This is the second time in recent months that a bear has been spotted in the area. A bear sighting was posted at the Sportsplex disc golf course at the end of July. According to Parks Canada, if you see a bear you should never run away but stop and remain calm – screams or sudden movements may trigger an attack. Speak calmly and firmly to the bear, make yourself look big and back away slowly. If a bear makes contact, fall to the ground and play dead. If the bear is unaware of your presence, quietly move away without getting its attention.

Whales in the evening A small pod of orca attracted attention off Francisco Point at the south end of Quadra Island last Saturday. About six whales were spotted off the point as a group of boats returned from an opening of a new Orientation Centre at the Homalco Wlidlife Tours facility at Orford Bay.

so different, the small town vibes and friendliness were similar, and welcome. “Everyone was sitting out on the dock as we floated down inviting me over for a beer – like if I’d stopped for a beer at every dock where they’d invited me over to have a beer, I wouldn’t be standing,” said Mercer.

“They were certainly as friendly as Newfoundlanders and so that was tremendous.” Destiny River Adventures owner Jim DeHart got to spend the six hours it took for filming in the company of the famous comedian, and said Mercer is even better in person than on the show. “Funnier. Oh yeah, there
was a lot of stuff going on that you can’t put on T.V.,” said DeHart with a smile. BIA secretary/event coordinator Jan Tees, who had come up with the idea to invite Mercer to Campbell River, said she hopes Mercer will come back to try out some other activities, including taking a chain saw carving lesson. Mercer’s visit has
inspired Tees to invite other celebrities to town. “My daughter asked me, ‘now who are you going to invite to Campbell River next?’” said Tees. The Rick Mercer Report returns on Tues. Sept. 13 at 8 p.m. on CBC. Visit www.rickmercer.com for updates on when the snorkeling adventure segment will air.

Victim named in Monday’s fatal highway crash near Parksville NEIL HORNER BLACK PRESS
One of two victims in Monday’s three-car motor vehicle crash on Highway 4 has been identified. The victim, 34-year
old Rikki Anne Easton of Campbell River, was named as the driver of a Chevrolet Cavalier involved in the collision. She succumbed to her injuries Monday evening. Sergeant Joe Scho-
field of the RCMP’s Central Vancouver Island Traffic Services confir med Tuesday that a 37-year-old man who had been driving a GMC pickup truck also died from his injuries Monday evening. His
identity is not being released at the request of his family. Meanwhile, an eightyear-old girl who was a passenger in the pickup truck remains in stable condition in a Victoria area hospital
and the passenger of the Cavalier was transported to Nanaimo Regional General Hospital, along with the passenger of a third vehicle, a Toyota Rav 4. Both sustained non-life threatening injuries.
“The seriousness of this crash has been fully realized by the deaths of two individuals,” Schofield said. “We have a team of collision experts working to reconstruct this collision and deterTELUS AUTHORIZED DEALERS

mine what caused it, in hopes we can bring some answers to the grieving families.” Erik Duivenvoorde was driving from Port Alberni to Parksville at the time of the crash. He said he was two vehicles back. Me and the car before me were able to stop in time,” he said. “I saw the bus slamming on the brakes and steering in the opposite lane to avoid the other cars. I saw a black SUV, the third one that hit. When I got out of the car and was dialling 9-1-1 there was a beige pickup truck in the opposite lane and it looked like they had spun around a couple of times.” About 30 feet in front of the truck, the witness said, was a man lying on the ground with a severe head injury. He said, ‘My baby. Is my baby OK?,” Duivenvoorde said. “Two guys jumped into the pickup and pulled a little girl out and put her on the bus.” Duivenvoorde then went to a car, where he said a woman appeared badly pinned. I saw her move her head and I asked, ‘can you hear us,’” he said. “There was smoke coming from the red car, so I went to the bus to see if they had a fire extinguisher. Pretty soon after that a response came and we were told to go back up with the cars.”

Candle light vigil set for youngster RENÉE ANDOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
A candle light vigil to honour the memory of seven-year-old Jonathan Warren will happen this weekend, and a trust fund has been set up to help his mother, Linda Warren. The candle light vigil will be held at 7 p.m.
this Sat. at the Sportsplex Skate Park. The family of Jonathan will be present, and while Warren family neighbour, Barb Ostler, said Linda is still struggling with grief, she appreciates all the emotional support she has received from the community already. “She really appreci-
ates all the teddy bears and flowers,” said Ostler. “Emotional support, just anything that’s going to help her.” Ostler set up a trust fund through Coastal Community Credit Union. Anyone wishing to donate funds to help Linda can drop by one of these credit
unions and mention her name. Ostler fought back tears as she explained how hard this tragedy has been on Linda, not only emotionally, but financially as well. “I know she’s had a lot of financial costs associated with this tragedy,” said Ostler. “It’s going to be a real
struggle for her.” Jonathan’s father Brent Allan Warren was charged with first degree murder as a result of the death of his son, and has been in custody since the end of July. His case was adjourned until Sept. 12 for an arraignment by video.

Drive Smart BC Dealing With the Boom Boxes A very annoying problem we hear on the local roads are the numerous Boom Boxes playing at all hours of day or night. I think our noise by-law should be enforced, as we have enough noise pollution as it is without these ridiculous noise boxes waking us from our sleep. Can you enlighten me on the subject please? I’m not sure that you will be surprised to find that the Motor Vehicle Act and Regulations don’t deal with noise of this type from vehicles. It only prohibits noise from the engine, exhaust system or the braking system, or from the contact of the tires with the roadway. Police have to fall back on either a municipal bylaw or the Criminal Code when the issue gets out of hand. No person shall make or cause any noise or sound on a highway or elsewhere within the corporate limits of the City which disturbs or tends to disturb the quiet, peace, rest, enjoyment, comfort or convenience of the neighbourhood or of persons in the vicinity. This bylaw section from the Penticton allows police to issue a Municipal Ticket Information to violators in that city. When there is no other legislation to utilize, the mischief section of the Criminal Code prohibits actions which obstruct, interrupt or interfere with the lawful use, enjoyment or operation of property. I suspect that the disturbance would have to be significant to convince the Crown to proceed with a charge and the court to convict. A single boom box drive by would likely not qualify. The author is a retired constable with many years of traffic enforcement experience. To comment or learn more, please visit www. drivesmartbc.ca.

Young businessman will run for city council seat KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
A Campbell River businessman hopes his youth and enthusiasm will win him a seat on city council. Darryn Striga, 28, is the lastest to announce his bid for city councillor. “I always had the intention of entering municipal politics, though the climate of Campbell River has forced my hand early,” Striga said. “I thought it was time to throw my hat in the ring and see what I can do.” With a Nov. 26 municipal election looming, Striga becomes the third person, behind
Sean Smith and Larry Samson, to announce his candidacy for councillor. Striga believes his age will give him an edge. “I think a younger person, with less prec o n c e ive d n o t i o n s going in, would benefit Campbell River right now,” Striga said. Striga, a director with Daybreak Rotary, and a resident of Campbell River since the age of three said he sees the upcoming election as an opportunity to fix things. “People complain to me that city wages are too high but also, I think the lack of open government and trans-
Darryn Striga is the latest to announce his bid for city councillor. parency with citizens is another big issue for me,” Striga said. “Government works for its citizens and I would keep that in mind and listen to and talk to people so everyone has a say.”

Striga, who works as a business co-ordinator for Mount Washington, said he would like to do an audit of City Hall. “It would be interesting to see what a municipal audit would yield,” Striga said. “I would like to see where the money is going, and I think the citizens of Campbell River would like to see as well.” Striga also sees the importance in strengthening the business sector. Although this is his first time wading into municipal politics, it is in his blood. His grandfather was once the mayor of Port Hardy. Still, despite little experience himself, Striga is willing to learn and eager to take a seat at the table. “I don’t think going in with less experience will be a detriment,” Striga said. “I’m willing to question things and look at taking things in a different direction. “If city council were to stay the same, but with Darryn Striga on council, it would automatically change the dynamic. I think inserting myself into the mix will really mix things up and get things going in a different direction.”

City still has concerns with coal mine’s plans KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The city is taking its concerns surrounding the proposed expansion of Quinsam Coal Mine to the B.C. government. C o u n c i l d i re c t e d city staff to prepare a letter to the Ministry of Energy and Mines which will focus on water quality impacts from the mine, as well as the mine’s social and economic benefits to the community. “I think it’s a really important issue for the City of Campbell River,” said Claire Moglove at last week’s council meeting. “I know Quinsam Coal has made some technical changes so it’s incumbent upon us to send this letter.” Those changes revolve around the mine’s storage plans for coarse coal rejects, or waste materials. In the mine’s original
expansion application it proposed storing the potentially acid generating rejects in two open, flooded pits. Quinsam Coal has since said it will instead develop underground storage sites to reduce some of the technical challenges. Moglove said she feels the company has put a lot of work into trying to minimize the impacts of an expansion that would have miners going into an area called 7-South, which would yield coal with a higher sulfur content. “It appears to me that Quinsam Coal has done everything in its power to address concerns from the public,” Moglove said. Amber Zirnhelt, the city’s environmental manager, agreed that the mine has put in a lot of effort, and said any technical questions that still remain “will be reviewed by
the Ministry of Energy and Mines staff.” Water quality in Long Lake has been one of the biggest environmental concer ns since Hillsborough Resources, the parent company of Quinsam Coal, applied for expansion nearly two years ago. Dr. William Cullen and the Canadian Water Network’s 2008/2009 study found arsenic levels in Long Lake sediment samples to be 30 times higher than provincial guidelines. “The research identifies a link between sulfur and arsenic, and the proposed 7-South mine amendment involves major construction in an area that is probably one of the sources of the high concentrations of arsenic and sulfate found in Long Lake,” said Terri Martin, biologist and the city’s environmental co-ordinator. Coun. Ryan Mennie,

who opposed sending a letter to the province, questioned the need for the city to wade into an area it has no expertise in. Mennie said the open house the company held in Campbell River as well as previous presentations to council from Hillsborough, the Ministry of Energy and Mines and Dr. Cullen, is enough. “There’s technical issues we don’t understand so stepping into a process and addressing issues that are already being looked at by a technical committee...how far is too far? When do we get to the point of affecting jobs?” Mennie said. If the expansion is not approved, Hillsborough has said it likely has about 28 months of mining left but an expansion could increase its life span by another four or five years. The mine currently employs 140 workers.

D is a special boy who has had quite a life and needs a home that has experience with Doug d and people who will work with him. Doug never got much socializing which resulted dogs i some fearful behaviours. Doug is always happy and has become very social and loving in w all the staff and volunteers. He is a nice dog, but lacks the confidence a dog his age with s should have. With a bit of patience and consistency Doug will have no problem coming a around nicely. Doug walks well on a leash, loves hands on and knows basic commands. H needs to go to a home with no other dogs, as he does get defensive when other dogs He e engage him. He should not go to a home with cats and cannot go to a home with young c children. Older children or teenagers would be better suited to him. The ideal home for D would be a single person or a couple who have owned dogs before and have a lot Doug o time to dedicate to him.

New bridge will protect Nunns Creek KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
A neighbourhood bridge over Nunns Creek is slated to be replaced with a brand-new, properly engineered structure

next month. The Nunns Creek Stewards plan to take down the existing old, rickety, wooden plank bridge that crosses the tributary at the bottom of Croatian Road likely within the first
two weeks of September when there are no fish in the creek. “It was put up by neighbours and a local bike club,� said Barbara Phipps of the Nunns Creek Stewards. “It’s fine for walking across but a few ATV’s have gone across it and smashed the planks.� The new bridge, which is being designed by a Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) engineer, will look similar to the new Willow Creek bridge along the Jubilee Connector portion of the Greenways Loop but without a bend in the middle. “The new bridge is mainly to stop erosion in that area,� Phipps
said. “The erosion is caused by people walking, motorcycles, ATVS. When they go through, they make a muddy depression.� The creek over time then becomes wider and wider and poses challenges for the fish habitat. “It’s not good for the fish because the creek silts up and covers their eggs,� Phipps said. Cutthroat trout, small wild coho and chum all swim in Nunns Creek. The bridge is estimated to cost around $10,000 and when complete, will be longer than the existing footbridge and set higher up the bank. “The bridge has to be quite high because

in the winter there is quite a flow of water in there,� Phipps said. “The water comes up so high that the approach on either side of the bridge gets flooded out.� Still that doesn’t deter school kids walking to and from Carihi and Phoenix from using the bridge and the trail that runs from Croatian, crosses the ERT Road and comes out onto 2nd Avenue. Phipps said the new bridge will ensure students using the trail won’t unknowingly inflict any riparian damage. She also plans to work with Carihi and Timberline’s environmental teams to plant native species in the
area later in the fall. Phipps said she would like to plant g rand firs, sitka spruce, salmon berry, sword fern, deer fern, Nootka rose, bargain grape and hemlock. Suppor t for the bridge has come from the Nunns Creek Stewards, DFO and other local environmental groups. The Croatian Road bridge is just the first of three new bridges the Nunns Creek Stewards plan to erect. Other bridges are planned for the main stream at the bottom of 2nd Avenue which already has a temporary structure, and one off the ERT Road that connects to the 5th Avenue trails.

HEAT STROKE IN DOGS Contributed by: Dr. Nast, Campbell River Veterinary Hospital
Heat stroke is a term commonly used for hyperthermia or elevated body temperature. Generally speaking, if a pet's body temperature exceeds 103°F (39.4°C), it is considered abnormal or hyperthermic. Body temperatures above 106°F (41°F) without previous signs of illness are most commonly associated with exposure to excessive external or environmental heat and are often referred to as heat stroke. The critical temperature where multiple organ failure and impending death occurs is around 107°F to 109°F (41.2°C to 42.7°C). The most common cause of heat stroke or hyperthermia is leaving a dog in a car with inadequate ventilation. The dog's body temperature in this situation can elevate very rapidly, often within minutes. It is important to remember that dogs cannot control their body temperature by sweating as humans do, since they only have a relatively small number of sweat glands located in their footpads. Their primary way of regulating body temperature is by panting.
Other common causes of heat stroke include being left in a yard without access to shade or water on a hot day, being exposed to a hair dryer for an extended period of time, and excessive or vigorous exercise during hot temperatures. Excited or excessively exercised dogs are sometimes at risk even if the environmental temperature and humidity does not appear hot. This is particularly true if they are kept in a poorly ventilated environment or
dog house. Dogs with a restricted airway such as the brachycephalic breeds (flat faced dogs such as pugs, boxers and bulldogs) are at greater risk. In these breeds, clinical signs of heat stroke can occur when the outside temperature and humidity are only moderately elevated. Dogs that are muzzled for any reason can be at greater risk since their ability to pant is restricted by the muzzle. Hyperthermia is an
Non-Anesthetic
immediate medical emergency. Safe, controlled reduction of body temperature is a priority. On the way to the veterinary hospital, use wet towels over the dog and turn on the vehicle’s air conditioning. The prognosis depends on how high the body temperature elevated, how long the hyperthermia persisted and what the physical condition of the pet was prior to the heat stroke. If the body temperature did not
become extremely high, most healthy pets will recover quickly if they are treated immediately. Some pets may experience permanent organ damage or may die at a later date from complications that developed secondarily to the hyperthermia. Pets that experience hyperthermia are at greater risk for subsequent heat stroke due to damage to the thermoregulatory center.

Our View
Get down to bargaining Teachers are threatening job action when classes resume on Tuesday, Sept. 6. Members of the B.C. Teachers Federation want a new contract with We say: Start public school employers to include a number of changes in working dealing with the and a substantial wage nitty gritty issues conditions, increase. They have an added weapon in their bargaining arsenal — a in education recent ruling from the B.C. Supreme Court stated that the provincial government legislation which took away the right of teachers to bargain on class size and composition is unconstitutional, and that teachers do have the rights to do such bargain-
ing. Unfortunately, the real bargaining is starting far too late in the summer to have any meaningful chance of being wrapped up by Sept. 6. That means that students will be affected by the teachers’ job action, which thus far does not include a strike, but does involve a refusal to perform non-essential services. The way the union is fighting over every single detail on what constitutes “non-essential services” demonstrates that the two sides are miles apart. The union agreed that taking attendance was essential, but sending the results of the attendance-taking to the school office was “non-essential.” That went back to the B.C. Labour Relations Board for a ruling.
The LRB ruled that teachers should pass on the result of that attendance-taking to the school office. Such jousting over trivialities demonstrates just how far apart the two sides are, and how unwilling they are to engage in discussion of the real issues. The employer says that the BCTF should not bring up the issue of class size and composition, despite the B.C. Supreme Court ruling. Teachers, school employers and the provincial government need to start dealing with the nitty gritty issues, which all revolve around the right of students to get a good education. Meaningful dialogue needs to begin immediately. – BlackPress
Good point: Green city Green, renewable, sustainable, eco-friendly – all new buzz words with lots of available federal and provincial funding attached to them so why not make Campbell River the example in showing the rest of province what can be done? Let’s start by giving tax breaks and incentives to builders that produce homes with the following green amenities: ■ All steel roof ( 50-year lifespan, low maintenance, no petroleum product.) ■ All gutters go to a concrete cistern in the ground (water used to water lawn and garden, no need for water restrictions or meters) ■ One guarburator sink in kitchen (all organic waste go directly to compost tank, this would save tons and tons of waste being taken to the landfill this compost would be used in the garden, less need for garbage pick-up). These measures would put Campbell River as the first city to show that we are serious about making a change and whatever tax breaks are given to the builders for this would be recovered by avaliable grants – so no cost to the city or taxpayer (that’s a new concept?). Let’s bring back the vitality that this city has enjoyed in the past. We have so much to offer, and now cleaner air. Let’s tell the world about us, and invite them to come and live here. I don’t know of a better place to live than Campbell River. Michel Rabu
Jack Layton left us with words to live by
Alistair Taylor Out On A Limb
You don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone...The passing of NDP leader Jack Layton this week is one of those events that leaves us wondering what could have been. And by all accounts, Layton could have been a very interesting opposition leader. His passing, however, as sad as it was, may have left Canadian politics with one of its most endearing speeches, if not a manifesto. In a final letter to Canadians, Layton reminded us that “love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.” If those aren’t words to live by, I don’t know what are. Layton managed to restore a sense of civility and grace to Canadian politics, some-
thing it was sorely lacking. Hopefully, Layton’s death can inspire us all to be more loving, hopeful and optimistic. Bears of Bute...Despite having lived here for 22 years, I had never been past the Breton Islands, east of Quadra Island. I’m not a boater (hey, I work in the newspaper industry, I’m lucky I can afford a canoe) but I love getting out on the water any chance I can and last Saturday I got to travel to Orford Bay in Bute Inlet courtesy of the Homalco Wildlife Tours. It was a great day. The weather was perfect and the scenery was spectacular. The Homalco Band has a fantastic opportunity at Orford Bay courtesy of the salmon that return to the Orford River. Those salmon, of course, attract the big brown behe-
moths of the animal world, grizzly bears. Denizens of the so-called Great Bear Rainforest, the Orford grizzlies congregate at the mouth of the river and along the gravel bars of its lower reaches. The Homalco have a perfect opportunity to control human access to this grizzly bear picnic. Control the people, of course, not the bears. The Orford River valley can only be accessed through the Homalco Band’s tribal lands. There are no roads and boats have to dock at their dock. Exploiting this opportunity is as simple as bringing people to the river and letting them look around. Of course, through the Bears of Bute program (www.bearsofbute.com), the band is marketing this spectacular wildlife experience and they are continually developing their facili-
ties. Saturday’s event was to open up their new orientation centre which allows visitors to learn the Homalco First Nation’s story, understand what they’ve gone through and see where they want to go. It’s a simple but well done presentation. The mainstay of the facility, of course, is the bear viewing sites. Elevated and covered platforms are stationed at strategic viewing points and on Saturday, even though there were no bears (it’s still too early in the season) it was nice to get out there and look at the sites. It’s a beautiful place. One of the sites is at a long gravel spit at the confluence of a large creek and the Orford River. It was easy to envision bears meandering around the gravel bar swatting salmon up onto the beach.

Virus may be ‘smoking gun’ in sockeye collapse BLACK PRESS
Salmon far mers have agreed to provide fish samples to federal biologists who are investigating a newly detected virus they suspect is linked to the steep decline of wild sockeye. The industry had previously refused to cooperate but four tmajor aquaculture companies have now wrelented, the Cohen yInquiry heard Wedneseday. Dr. Kristi Miller, ea genetics researcher with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans -(DFO) in Nanaimo, ysaid she wants to comspare virus levels in owild sockeye with samples of farmed Atlanstic salmon at various life stages – including juveniles before being placed in ocean net pens as well as later, when wild sockeye are passing the farms off northern Vancouver
Island. Miller testified she found wild sockeye salmon with a particular genetic signature are 13.5 times less likely to return to reach their spawning grounds than ones without the signature. She said a parvovirus recently identified appears to be the likely culprit, but agreed with another DFO biologist that more research is needed to prove if it is actually infectious and causing lethal disease. Miller said the virus “could be the smoking gun” that explains the deaths of millions of sockeye in recent years although another DFO researcher, Dr. Kyle Garver, said it is “pure speculation” to read too much into the findings so far. Miller maintained she believes some pathogen, likely a virus, is har ming salmon before they enter the Fraser River
and contributing to an extremely high prespawn death rate. “Fish were already compromised before they entered the river,” she said, adding that proves river conditions alone cannot explain the sockeye decline. Tests of f ar med salmon may not bring back conclusive results on their potential role in time for the inquiry to factor them into its findings. But under crossexamination by a lawyer for the salmon f a r m i n g i n d u s t r y, Miller confirmed her data showed the highest level of the mortality marker was in young smolts that had not left the river and had not yet gone anywhere near fish farms. “The main time period of transmission appears to be in fresh water,” she said, adding it’s been detected in young fry in their birth lakes.
Miller said that doesn’t mean the virus didn’t first originate with the fish farms nor does it exclude the potential for farmed fish – or perhaps other species in fresh water – to pass the virus back and forth with wild salmon. She also confirmed the lethal signature has also been found in sockeye from Haida Gwaii, far from the fish farms, as well as sockeye from rivers on the west side of Vancouver Island, which don’t migrate through Johnstone Strait. Her group has done little research so far on northern stocks that return to the Skeena or Nass rivers. Miller did stress the lethal markers were not found in Harrison Lake sockeye – which spend less time in fresh water and migrate around the west coast of Vancouver Island, not past the Johnstone
Strait fish farms. “The fish that spend less time in fresh water tend to be doing better than the fish that spend more,” she said. The possible spread of disease and the potential role of the aquaculture industry has been the focus of the commission this week. Miller’s appearance was widely anticipated because of reports she’d been muzzled by federal officials after the publication of her latest paper in the journal Science. She told the commission she had been told not to publicly discuss her findings ahead of her testimony – out of respect for the inquiry – but said the same instructions applied to other DFO staff. Miller said she has always had complete freedom to publish her findings. “I’ve never been told not to share research.”

New homes must be solar ready soon
3X4
KRISTEN DOUGLAS
CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
All future residential homes must be able to accommodate a solar heating system after city council voted last week to change its building bylaw. Campbell River is one of 36 B.C. communities governed by the provincial Solar Hot Water Ready Regulation which applies to new single-family dwellings and those with secondary suites. “This is a major step forward for the City of Campbell River,” said Peter Woods, chair of the city’s Environmental Advisory Committee. “Every new home in Campbell River will now be solar ready. This saves the hom-
bear mtn

eowner thousands of dollars in retrofit fees and energy costs, minimizes the carbon footprint by using alternatives to conventional energy and helps to stimulate local economy for qualified solar technicians.” Construction of new residential homes must include a roof area designated for future installation of solar collectors, or panels, as well as a space directly adjacent to the building’s hot water tank and the installation of two conduits between the areas. T he new re gulations will be applied to homes built on or after Oct. 3. “This grace period would allow for builders to accommodate
changes in upcoming projects while not impacting projects that are midstream in design,” said Sara Brodie, the city’s land use services supervisor, in a report to council. The cost of adding the new building requirements during construction is between $250-$500, said Brodie. The cost of retrofitting an existing home with solar hot water is about $6,900, according to Brodie. Existing homes are exempt from the new bylaw but Woods said some homeowners may opt to go with solar power because of the huge cost savings for the average home. “As BC Hydro rates continue to rise, retrofitting to solar becomes
more financially viable,” Woods said. The city was recently named B.C. Solar Community of the Year for 2010 in recognition of its effort to use solar panels as well as for using solar-powered crosswalks in 12 different locations. Adopting the Solar Ready Regulations falls in line with the city’s goal of demonstrating that solar power is a viable renewable energy source, even in colder, rainy climates because the energy is generated from the sun’s light, not its heat, when it hits the solar panel. “I think it’s time to show we’re leaders, not followers, and we’re leading the way,” Coun. Roy Grant said.

Donated garden producing vegetables for needy KRISTEN DOUGLAS
CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
K a t hy R a d o m s k i smiles as she unearths a healthy-sized zucchini from a garden that benefits the needy. “I’m making a stew for Saturday,” says a pleased Radomski. “Everything I’m picking today will go in the stew, nothing’s going to waste.” After a slow start to the season due to cooler than normal temperatures, Radomski is thrilled to see the crop, although behind schedule, that is growing in Coast Realty’s backyard. The realty g roup generously donated the land, some labour, and most of the seeds for the 14-bed garden that benefits lunch programs for two groups – Radiant Life Church and the Campbell River Outreach Program.
KRISTEN DOUGLAS/THE MIRROR
Kathy Radomski is pleased with the crop a garden donated by Coast Realty is providing for the Outreach Program’s lunch program.
Radiant Life’s Sunday lunch program feeds around 90 people while the Outreach Program provides around 70-80 meals on Saturdays to the homeless and those at risk. Radomski says the garden has been wonderful. “It’s nice because I can make a salad,

and they love salads,” Radomski says. “Plus, it keeps costs down.” Both g roups are thrilled with the garden which has produced lettuce, peas, potatoes, tomatoes, beans, cabbage, herbs, rhubarb and strawberries. Next year there will be raspberries and in the fall, pumpkins. Although the garden is doing well now, it took longer than expected for the first crop to appear. “In July we started collecting,” Radomski says. “It’s gotten too cold at night, it’s just
not a good gardening season. Everything is about four weeks behind by my estimation, but I’m not an expert.” Still, vegetables have been pulled up nearly every day for the past month by either Radomski, Radiant Life Pastor Art Van Holst or church goer and volunteer Gary Holt, who are out tending to the garden several times a week. Holt travels all the way from Comox to help in the garden three to four times a week.

“I’ll pluck weeds and do some watering, just to make sure,” Holt says. “Today, I brought my rake up here and I’m also pulling some spuds out.” Coast Realty’s Roy Grant, and city councillor, says come winter the garden beds will all have to be dug up and replaced with top soil from the garden’s composter. He also hopes to add some nutrients, such as sea salt, to the dirt that can sit throughout the winter in preparation for next year.

The colourfully painted downtown piano has turned out to be a hot ticket item. BIA chair Erika Anderson said the downtown piano is even more popular than she would have predicted. The piano has been moved around to sit in front of different businesses each fairweather day since it was painted during Art Appreciation Day on Aug. 6. And Anderson said it was booked up for the month of August within a few days of its debut. Besides businesses booking it, Anderson said it has been getting lots of play from musicians. “People have been playing it a lot,” said Anderson. “People have been making special trips downtown for the purpose of playing the piano.”
RENÉE ANDOR/THE MIRROR
John Parker plays some tunes on the downtown piano during his visit from Black Diamond, Alberta.
The main point of the downtown piano was to liven up the downtown area and attract people to the businesses there, and Anderson said it’s working. “It’s been great publicity for downtown, and people wanting to come see it, people looking for it, so it’s been good to bring people downtown,” she explained. John Parker, a piano player from Black Diamond, A.B., was surprised when he noticed the piano during his

visit to Campbell River, as he has never seen one anywhere else. “It’s totally cool,” said Parker. “It was shocking, and then it said ‘play me’ so I didn’t have to go and ask.” Parker played some boogie-woogie this past Wed. when the piano was located outside Quench Bistro & Juice Bar. He says he will be letting his fellow musicians know there is a downtown piano in Campbell River via Facebook.
“I’m going to tell all my friends that it’s there in Campbell River,” said Parker. “You’re going to inspire other communities.” The piano will still be in use throughout Sept. before being stored away for the wet months, and Anderson said there is still some opportunities for businesses to book it. And the piano will be back next summer, with the possibility of a second one because of the popularity of the first. “There’s so much appetite for this,” said Anderson. “This is interactive as well so that adds another element, but I think part of it is people are just so excited about some different piece of public art.”

Campbell River Art Gallery’s most recently featured artist, Megan Dulcie Dill, in her studio.
New exhibit features Salmon Cycles Salmon Cycles – a new exhibit which opened at the Campbell River Art Gallery this week – features the works of Powell River artist Megan Dulcie Dill and is inspired by the extraordinary life cycle of the Pacific Salmon. The public is invited to meet Dulcie Dill this Saturday at the Gallery’s ‘Super Saturday’ event from 1-3 p.m. where the exhibiting artist will provide a natureinspired art activity for people of all ages. The drop-in program is free (although donations are accepted) but children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. The Campbell River Art Gallery g ratefully acknowledges Marna Disbrow’s sponsorship of the Super Saturday program. Dulcie Dill’s mixed media paintings feature salmon moving through their watery
world, navigating paths between water, stones and beams of light. She uses a unique painting technique that involves liquid grounds, canvas rotation and transparent colour washes, which create a luminous quality in her
work. For Dulcie Dill, the salmon is a symbol of rejuvenation and strength. She is also inspired by the Coast Salish First Nation tradition and spirituality and her most recent paintings are titled in translations
of Sliammon words. Dulcie Dill has studied at the University of Toronto’s Fine Art Department, the Victoria College of Art, the Nova Scotia College of Art & Design and the University of Victoria. She has had solo exhi-

We’re eating our neighbours’ dirt when it comes to food gardening We’re being left in the dust, when it comes to good dirt, by our progressive coastal neighbours. A mid-August day trip to Powell River to attend the third annual Edible Garden Contest really opened our eyes to the possibilities of food gardening. Whether one’s property is at 750 feet or down at sea level, whether the land is carved out of
a clearing in the deep forest or a perfectly groomed display in a posh residential area, it is possible to produce remarkable amounts of nourishing foodfor the family table. I have been following Powell River’s progress online since 2006 when this gutsy little community of 18,000 announced it’s intention to begin a 50-Mile Eat-Local chal-
lenge. My daughter, Kathie Klassen, and I were eager to see what they had achieved since that radical idea of eating local was first launched. Checking the map, the only other shopping area inside the boundaries of that circle is the Comox Valley. But at almost $30 roundtrip for a foot passenger on the ferry, shopping for food outside of Powell

ir Cadet Nick Bowman stands on parade with his flight during a Commanding Officer’s Parade at the Albert Head Air Cadet Summer Training Centre, near Victoria. Bowman, 17, spent his summer as an Advanced Training Staff Cadet for the General Training Course, leading junior cadets while they learned about good
citizenship, sports, field survival, drill, range, and familiarization flying. Bowman has been a cadet for five years at 363 “Brian Barker” Squadron in Campbell River, and currently attends Timberline High School. He has self-taught how to play eleven different instruments and wants to be a communications and information systems tech.
The cadet program is designed to contribute to the development and preparation of youth for the transition to adulthood, enabling them to meet the challenges of modern society through a dynamic, communitybased program. Canadian Forces Reserve Cadet Instructors Cadre (CIC) Officers are responsible for cadet training, supervision and admin-
istration. The vast majority serve the CF on a part-time basis while continuing fulltime studies or pursuing a civilian career. The CIC celebrated 100 years of service to Canada in 2009. To find out more about the Royal Canadian Air Cadets, the Cadet Instructors Cadre and Albert Head Air Cadet Summer Training Centre, visit www.cadets.ca.
Commander enhances experience for cadets Major Judy Peter of Campbell River, B.C. was presented with a Commanding Officer’s Commendation at Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre (VACSTC). It reads: “Maj J. Peter, CD, Is commended for her role in arranging to have the Portraits of Honour make an unofficial stop at VACSTC. This allowed the cadets and members of the public to experience the tribute to the fallen Cana-
dian Forces Men and Women that they otherwise might not have seen. Her contributions continue to add to the overall experience for cadets at the Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre. Major Peter, the Commanding Officer of 2943 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps in Campbell River was employed during the summer as the Deputy Commanding Officer at VACSTC. During the summer, more than
1100 army cadets from western Canada have spent to six weeks in the Okanagan Valley centre, expanding the training they receive at their home corps, developing new skills and forming friendships. After the final parade and sunset ceremony, the cadets and officers made their way to their homes in western Canada, fully prepared for another season of training in citizenship, physical fitness and leadership.”

bane to the environment because of its invasive nature. Introduced from Asia as a garden ornamental, this huge plant often exceeds three metres in height. The botanical name, polygonum, translates as “many joints or knees,” as the plant’s hollow stems feature distinct raised bamboo-like nodes (joints) at re gular intervals. There’s no mistaking the giant, heart-shaped leaves, ranging in size from 15-30 cm, and at least 2/3 as wide. Heartshaped leaves, however, aren’t enough to make us love this import. Dense thickets
exclude other vegetation, while deep, creeping rhizomes make eradication difficult; new shoots can even grow through asphalt. It can resprout from fragments and create new infestations along s t re a m s wh e n ever plant parts fall into the water. This difficult freshwater weed degrades native plant and animal habitat by choking it out. Campbell River’s Greenways Land Trust continues to battle this escaped ornamental, and Nunns Creek Park knotweed plots are studied to determine best practices for eradication. Giant knotweed infests wetlands and waterfronts (Campbell River estuary, Willow Point waterfront), the Cumberland Wetlands, and waterways in the Comox Valley. Despite its remarkable size, bamboo-like poles and plate-sized leaves, it is ‘knot’ bamboo, and we don’t want it in our wild lands. Contact Christine by e-mail: wildernesswest@shaw.ca.

- Residents living eon Westgate Road between Highway n19A and Galerno Road are reminded mthat watermain eupgrades will begin gsoon in this area. r The City of oCampbell River -has distributed dinformation to thouseholds along ythis route outlining details of the sproject that will tbegin the first week sof September. The Westgate kwatermain e
Westgate watermain upgrade
upgrade will renew approximately 675 metres of watermain, with the installation of new pipes, valves, fittings and service connections to all properties on Westgate Road from Highway 19A to Galerno Road. “This watermain was originally installed in 1950s and the number of main breaks and service connection breaks in recent years indicate it is past its serviceable life expectancy,” says Ron Neufeld, the City’s general manager of operations. “While the work is limited to the road right of way, local residents should expect single lane road closure on Westgate Road near the active work area, with alternating traffic in the work zone,” Neufeld adds. “The construction contractor, Wacor Holdings, is required to maintain appropriate traffic control throughout the course of construction, and signs will be posted at all intersections to provide vehicle and pedestrian traffic with clear direction on avoiding the active work zone.” This project is part of the City’s infrastructure renewal strategy and will cost $806,525. The project is paid for by the City of Campbell River’s water operating accumulated surplus fund. Work is expected to be completed by early November. People can keep up to date on the project by visiting at www.campbellriver. ca.

Campbell River Grandmothers to Grandmothers invites community to cheer cycling grannies
C a m p b e l l R ive r Grandmothers to Grandmothers will be on hand on Sept. 9, at 9 a.m. at Rotary Park to welcome and cheer on close to 25 grandmothers as they bicycle through our community en route from Campbell River to Victoria, and they invite the entire community to join them. The four previous C ycl e To u r s h ave
raised a combined total of close to $150,000. All money raised is donated to the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign, which funds grassroots initiatives and community-level programs that support African grandmothers. This year’s Cycle Tour, starting on Sept. 9, will cover approximately 280 kilometres and
pass through Campbell River, Courtenay, Qualicum Bay, Parksville, Nanaimo, Ladysmith, Cowichan Bay, and Brentwood Bay. It will end in Victoria on National Grandparent’s Day, Sunday September 11. A welcoming party is scheduled to take place at St. John the Divine Church, 1611 Quadra St. Victoria, at 3:00 p.m. “This will be the
third year that the C.R. Grandmothers to Grandmothers have provided the cyclists with a delicious potluck the evening before they begin their ride. Our group donates all the money riders pay for their dinner to the Stephen Lewis foundation,” Said Brenda Harrison. “Because Campbell River is the starting point of the ride there is a certain
level of excitement and anticipation. This year, the potluck will be particularly special because two of our members are joining the cyclists on this challenging adventure,” While several of the cyclists participating in this event live in Victoria, others come from communities up and down the island, including Campbell
River’s Katherine Jorgenson and Linda Carlson. While some riders have completed the tour a number of times, each year they are joined by new and enthusiastic participants. “I am excited to be joining the Victoria Grandmothers on the cycle from Campbell River to Victoria,” said Carlson.

Pauline, Marc & Mimi wish to thank their family and friends for their kind thoughts and support as we remember Ray. We particularly wish to thank the nurses and staff at New Horizons Nursing Home & Campbell River General Hospital for your efforts and assistance. Also, a heartfelt thanks to close family who’ve helped a great deal and continue to do so. Ray appreciated you all. All that is good lives on.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our brother, uncle, and a great friend to many. Born in New Westminster, BC and passed away peacefully at Campbell River & District General Hospital at the age of 54. Predeceased by his father Bill 1998, mother Ann 2006, and brother Jim 1996. Jack leaves behind his brother Gary (Joanne & family), sister Wendy (Peter Savin), sister Tracy Mullen (Tj Dafoe), and will be lovingly missed by his pride and joy nephews Austyn & Braedon Mullen. Jack touched the lives of many people with his smile and generosity, he maintained his trademark sense of humour all the way and will be missed by countless friends and family whom were blessed to have known him. In 1976 Jack was severely electrocuted at the Ocean Fall’s Mill and suffered for many years with muscle and nerve damage. He maintained his Small Engines Certificate in 1980 and his Motorcycle Mechanics Certificate in 1981 but because of chronic pain he was unable to make a working career and had permanent disability. The early years he loved riding motorcycles and was a caregiver to his grandfather and mother for many years. He would always lend a helping hand to anyone in need and will be deeply missed by his friends. New found hobbies of sketching native art, enjoyed friends visiting and always looked forward to Friday afternoons with his nephews which consisted of a buffet of candies and chocolate, sketching groovy art, and shooting targets with their homemade slingshots. By family request there will be no service. “Love is a smile, a tear and a touch, love says little, but means so much, love is forever, and we give it to you, from the family who thought the world of you.�
GRAHAM Sylvia Muriel (nee Casey) July 1917 - August 2011 Sylvia was the last surviving child of Anthony and Julia Casey of Powell River. She was the middle child and was predeceased by her older brothers Ranie, Albert (Bud) and sister Bernice, her younger sisters Shirley, Lorraine (Tiny) and brother Wilfred (Skip). The Casey’s were part of the original company town where her father was employed at the pulp and paper mill. Sylvia was a self confessed tomboy and loved being outdoors whenever possible. She was very athletic and took great pride in her physical abilities especially her love of running. She was well known in Powell River for her long runs from the town site up through Cranberry and along the connecting roads back to her home. She had great hopes of running competitively one day but had to forgo this dream. She adored her father and spoke highly of him, reminiscing about times spent digging clams on the beach, boat trips up Powell Lake and his abilities to fix anything mechanical. At the age of 15 Sylvia moved to Vancouver with her mother and other siblings. She left school and went to work to help support the family as her father has remained in Powell River. In 1936 Sylvia married Richard (Dick) Fielding and together they had a son, Howard, They separated and Sylvia became a single mother. With incredible determination, a good work ethic and the support of a large extended family, Sylvia was able to support herself and Howard during very difficult social and financial times through the depressions. Around 1950 Sylvia accepted an invitation to accompany the friend of a friend to a curling banquet. Her date was Joseph Graham. She fell in love with curling and Joe. They became a couple in 1953 and were avid curlers for many years. Joe worked for Taylor paving in Vancouver and in the late 1960’s they moved to Courtenay when the company amalgamated with Cochrane paving to become TayCo Paving. They became active participants in the Comox Valley Curling Club. Sylvia loved a good party and loved to dance. She taught this love of dance to Howard. Sylvia was very creative, having won artistic competitions in school. She continued her creativity with needlework, rug hooking, sewing, gardening and gourmet cooking. She loved dogs from the depth of her heart and supported the SPCA. In 1973 Sylvia and Joe purchased property, built a home and their focus turned to gardening and landscaping and their last dog Kelly. In their later years they did some cruising to the Panama Canal, and Alaska. Besides her parents and siblings, Sylvia was predeceased by Joe in 2006, She leaves behind Howard and his wife Diane, nieces and nephews and long time friends in Powell River, Vancouver, Victoria, Montreal, and California. We want to extend a huge thank you to all Sylvia’s informal community supporters; the staff at Mane Lines hair salon, BMO bank, Thrifty Foods, Shoppers Drug Mart, Comox Valley Taxi and her long time neighbours. We are grateful for the support of Dr. Edward Howard, Lifeline, Handidart, and VIHA Community Support Services. With all of these people cheering her on Sylvia was able to live in her home until two weeks before her death. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Comox Valley SPCA.

VALDINA ELLEN PERKINS (nee Rafnkelsson), 77, of Mara, passed away quietly at home on Monday July 18th after a short battle with liver cancer. Val was born on the family farm just west of Gimli Manitoba on September 12, 1933. She moved to Winnipeg after Grade 2 with her mother when a late frost decimated the crops. While in Winnipeg Val’s mother was an active member of the Suffrage movement. The belief that women, in fact all people, deserve to be treated equally and with respect profoundly affected Val and became a guiding principle for her life. Several moves later, she found herself grown and living in Campbell River working at the Royal Bank where she met her future husband, the late John Arnold Perkins (The one man who could always make her laugh). After several years and many more moves, they ďŹ nally settled in Salmon Arm to raise a family before ďŹ nally retiring to Mara. Her belief that all people are worthy led her to always be the one helping those in need, be they family, friends or acquaintances. To the point where up until 12 days before her death she was still helping others, putting an average of 53,000 km a year on her vehicles, as well as looking for the next thing to make her and others smile and laugh. Val is survived by her children Tom (Tara), Bob, Sharel (David Siarkiewicz), grandchildren Alysha, Kaitlyn, Chelsea, Justin, Samuel, Alexander, her brother Eric and numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents Jon and Jonna, siblings Oscar, Ola, Margaret, Thelma, Frances, Florence and her husband of 48 years John. At Val’s insistence there will be no service. The family suggests memorial contributions be sent to the Canadian Cancer Society at www.bc.cancer.ca where an online memorial in her name has been set-up.

Less than three months to go: the Great ShakeOutBC countdown is on The Great ShakeOutBC Earthquake is coming to Campbell River and the Strathcona Regional District on Thursday, Oct. 20. At 10 a.m. thousands of British Columbians will do the “drop, cover, and hold on” drill in The Great British Columbia ShakeOut, the largest earthquake drill in BC history. The first drill had more than 470,000 participants and raised earthquake and emergency preparedness awareness throughout British Columbia. Oct. 20 will mark British Columbia’s second drill and will
align with California, Idaho, Nevada, Guam and the Yukon for a mass earthquake drill on the same day. Washington, Oregon and New Zealand have also expressed an interest in participating on this same date. “The ShakeOut drill is our chance to practice how to protect ourselves, and for everyone to learn how to become better prepared,” says Howie Siemens, emergency program coordinator for the Strathcona Regional District and the City of Campbell River. Emergency organizations throughout

ILLEGAL DUMPING CHERI P/UP
How much more effort does it take to turn right into the land¿ll rather than left into the John Hart Lake watershed? So you think you are saving money by using nature instead of the land¿ll? If the illegal roads and dumping continues, the quality of drinking water will be compromised and we will all need to pay for a better treatment system. It is a natural tendency to conserve energy, effort and money - but it is short-sighted to think that dumping in nature does not have a long-term cost.

Barry, Sherri and Quentin Leech went to Loon Lake, B.C. in July for a family reunion. They took the Mirror with them and had their picture taken outside the cabin they were staying in by the lake. They were opening up a time capsule that they buried there 10 years ago and then they were going to bury another one for another 10 years. After this picture was taken, they put the Campbell River Mirror in the new time capsule. It will be buried there for 10 years.
