Police continue to investigate the death of a seven-year-old boy in Campbell River Wednesday. A man is in police custody after his seven-year-old son died. Campbell River RCMP were called out to assist ambulance attendants at a residence on Alder Street at 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday. On arrival, officers determined that the boy was suffering from serious injuries. He was then transported to hospital via ambulance where he succumbed to his injuries. Sgt Craig Massey of the Campbell River RCMP cannot provide details on what the boy’s injuries were at this time.

Fog forces hiker to spend an unplanned night in the woods RENÉE ANDOR

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Armed with his dog and years of experience, Campbell Riverite Dave Ratson’s recent unplanned overnight stay on Mount Washington wasn’t a huge deal. Ratson went up for a day hike around the Lake Helen Mackenzie area, and over towards Mount Becher around 10 a.m. last Friday morning. A little fog was coming in and out of the area throughout the day, but started to roll in heavily around 4 p.m., and caused Ratson to lose sight of landmarks he needed to get back out. “I was frustrated at not being able to get a good bearing on which direction to head out,” said Ratson. Because so much snow is left in the area this summer, trail markers are still hidden and hikers must

use landmarks like hills and valleys. However, the fog prevented Ratson from seeing these in the distance. Although Ratson had good boots and warm clothes, he didn’t have a cell phone, compass, map, or GPS. He walked around in circles for a while to no avail. “At about nine o’clock at night, I started to realize, ‘I’m going to be here for the night,’” he said. He managed to find a dry tree to shelter him – which was a struggle with snow – put on all his clothes, and prepared to spend the night with his dog, Willow, who is a “very good mountain companion.” Although Ratson was exhausted, he said he was not anxious, as he’s had unplanned overnight stays about six times in his mountaineering experience. Meanwhile, his son Alex, who knew the

ing the early hours of the morning, Ratson walked out all by himself the next morning. “He was prepared and he was familiar with the area,” Koch told /A\ Channel News. “He had the right equipment and he knew what to do.” Ratson was rushing to get out before the search got fully under way, and met up with crews at about 10:30 a.m. on the board walk near Battleship Lake. He laughed as he said the biggest struggle of the night was trying to keep his dog next to him to keep warm. His night spent under a tree won’t stop Ratson from heading out for a another trip soon. “I love going out in the mountains, and this certainly doesn’t detract from my enthusiasm,” he said, adding he plans to go out again before the snow is gone this summer.

About 30 search and rescue members from Campbell River, the Comox Valley, Mount Ar rowsmith, and the Cowichan Valley joined forces to look for Ratson, according to the president of the B.C. Tracking Association, Win Koch. Although the team looked for him dur-

DISTEMPER IN DOGS Contributed by: Dr. Nast, Campbell River Veterinary Hospital

If your veterinarian sends you a vaccine reminder, don’t ignore 7x14 it! Vaccination can help prevent some very devastating diseases such as distemper. Distemper is a highly contagious viral disease of domestic dogs and other animals such as ferrets, skunks and raccoons. It is an incurable, often fatal, multisystemic disease that affects theCLAWS respiratory, PAWS & gastrointestinal, and central nervous systems. Distemper is caused by the canine distemper virus. The disease is spread mainly by direct contact between a susceptible dog and a dog showing symptoms. Coughing and sneezing can spread the virus over short

distances. As with all infectious diseases, clinical signs can vary. The main clinical signs are diarrhea, vomiting, a thick yellowgreen discharge from the eyes and nose, cough and, in severe cases, seizures and neurological signs. Death often is the end result. Dogs that recover from the disease are often left with persistent nervous muscular twitches and recurrent seizures. As with most viral infections, there is no speciﬁc treatment. Antibiotics are not effective against viruses, but do help in controlling the secondary bacterial infections that often occur with distemper. The treatment for distemper is aimed at helping reduce

the intensity of signs and symptoms. This is accomplished with hospitalization to provide the patient with intensive nursing care, intravenous ﬂuid therapy and symptomatic treatment for the vomiting, diarrhea, cough, etc. Anti-seizure and anti-inﬂammatory medications may be required in some cases. How can I prevent my dog from becoming infected? Fortunately there are highly effective vaccines to prevent this deadly disease. These vaccines are given to puppies along with other routine vaccines. After the initial puppy vaccine boosters, additional distemper vaccine boosters should be given to adult dogs. Your veterinarian will help you determine how often your dog should receive booster vaccine. Canine distemper is seen worldwide but because of the widespread use of successful vaccines, it is much less common than it was in the 1970’s. It is still seen in populations where vaccination rates are low and in stray dogs. The virus may persist in recovered carrier dogs and in wildlife such as skunks and raccoons. It is essential to keep vaccinating our dog population to prevent canine distemper from returning as a major killer of dogs.

Farm plan: Vancouver Island has only three-day supply of food Continued from A1 farming as a sustainable industry and, consequently, the waste of money any taxpayer support of it would be. “It is a challenge – a challenge – to have a sustainable lifestyle working from farming,” Stewart said. Committee chair Morgan Ostler appeared before council Tuesday to outline the plan and answer questions from councillors. “In the mid-Island, we historically have thought of ourselves as a resource-based community focused on logging, fishing and mining,” Ostler told council. “We have not seen ourselves as having a future in agricultural enterprise. However, the times are changing. Vancouver Island is changing. With the downturn in resourcebased economy, many communities on the Island are successfully diversifying by developing their agriculture sector.” Vancouver Island once produced more than half of the region’s food requirements. In the past 60 years, this number has dropped to 10 per cent, Ostler said. In Campbell River, food production is less than one

per cent. “That’s a shocking figure,” Ostler said. “If huge semi-trailers didn’t arrive here on a daily basis loaded with food supplies, we would not be able to sustain ourselves.” Ostler said that if Vancouver Island were cut off from the mainland for some reason, there is only enough food supply to last three days. When Ostler talks about ag ricultural opportunities to Campbell River residents, the most consistent response is “but we have no arable land.” The draft plan Ostler and her committee presented to council was written up by consultants and shows that there are hundreds of acres of high quality soil, some of it owned by timber companies, some by the city and other lands privately held. “The soil specialist who surveyed the land tells us that Campbell River has large areas equivalent in soil value to Abbotsford and Langley,” Ostler said. One-third of the city is zoned as Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) that equates to approximately 12,000 acres (5,000 hectares)

of potential farmland. “‘But these lands are mostly covered in trees,’ could be the rebuttal,” Ostler said. “Well, back in 1920 when Tom Hudson arrived here by boat, the 120 acres of land he chose had already been lightly logged. He cleared the rest by hand and with horse. Today, Hudson’s Farm is an outstanding example of the agricultural potential of our district’s farmland.” Ostler said it has been clearly established that

Campbell River has significant agricultural land within its borders. But Coun. Stewart took issue with the idea of taxpayers’ money being put into this agricultural plan. Particularly because he believes it would be throwing good money after bad. Farming is a difficult industry in which to make money. Stewart disagreed with a lot of the conclusions in the draft plan. “There are inconsis-

tencies and assumptions” in the report that are “made without what appears to be any farming knowledge,” Stewart said. “What is being sold in this report sometimes is not very factual.” Stewart referred to his own family history of farming in Black Creek and Duncan as well as his own education in horticulture and a career in landscaping. Stewart said the expense of buying land and converting it to farming plus the

But Ostler said nowhere in the report does it talk about giving free land or money to anybody to get into farming. The intent of the plan is to encourage the community to pursue agricultural opportunities in the broadest sense – from hobby farms to commercial greenhouses. “I don’t want to leave the impression with the public that we want to provide free land and free labour,” Ostler said to Stewart. “That’s never the intention.”

cost of labour and the lack of good workers is a major obstacle. Farming doesn’t pay very well – neither in return on investment to the farmer nor in the level of wages paid to workers.

Regional directors protest ferry fare hike “ Want ferry service treated as an extension of highway system too RENÉE ANDOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Nine Coastal Regional District chairs and vice chairs, from Metro Vancouver to Victo-

ria, and north to Bella Coola, have united in voicing their concerns over coastal communities impacted from BC Ferry Corporation fare increases.

3X8 3X8

On July 19 they met with Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, Blair Lekstrom, to discuss the issue. They presented evidence that the fare increases are damaging island and coastal communities, and advised the Minister that the origi-

nal objectives of the Coastal Ferry Act have not been met. Members of the group also presented the concept that ferry service could be considered an extension of highway service, which could require that it be treated and funded in the same manner as non-marine infrastructure. “The point was that [ferries] should be treated exactly as the highways are,” said Strathcona Regional District chair, Jim Abram. He wants the service put back under the

right as far as I’m concerned.” According to Abram, Gulf Island communities have seen population and business declines. He cited Quadra Island Elementary School’s enrollment decline; from 325 children in the late 1990’s to just 89 children now. “The public just can’t take it anymore,” said Abram. “We have all of these communities that contribute greatly to the wealth of the province, and why is it that the ferries are not being treated as high-

ways connecting those communities? Give me a break.” Together this group of regional districts represents 2.9 million British Columbians, or 63 percent of the provincial population. According to Abram, this diverse group of regional districts coming together is not the norm. “It’s a very unusual situation for a group of chairs and vice chairs from all the coastal regional districts to get together with a common purpose,” he explained. The entire group will be meeting with the Ferry Commissioner on Aug. 8, and plans to meet with Premier Christy Clark as well as Lekstrom, at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) convention during September, according to Abram. The group intends to put an Emergency Resolution forward during the convention, asking for the ferry system to be part of the highways system. Abram is confident it will pass. “I don’t believe there will be any opposition to that resolution,” said Abram.

Our View

Layton leads by example It was difficult to watch NDP leader Jack Layton address the media Monday in announcing his temporary departure from his duties as leader of the official Opposition. He looked gaunt and frail and We say: He lead sounded weak as he delivered the his party to new shocking news that he was battling a new cancer and would need to take heights, now it time off to once again ward off the must carry on disease. This news, coming just weeks after Layton wowed a nation on the campaign trail with his charm and energy in leading his party to a

remarkable 103 seats, is both ironic and sad. The man most view as the single reason why the NDP is in uncharted territory in both popularity and power, is leaving his fellow MPs, many of them rookies in Ottawa, just when they need him most. However, in typical bulldog fashion, Layton vows to be back for the September session of Parliament to hold the Conservative government accountable, and it’s safe to say that Canadians share his optimism and wish him well. Many who saw him Monday may think he is being too optimistic but many of those same people likely thought Layton had little chance of success in

the last election campaign, fresh off a battle with prostate cancer and hip surgery. Cane in hand, he promptly kicked political butt. That bodes well for the personal campaign against cancer he now must wage and if a positive attitude and strong will count for anything, then it would be foolish to bet against him. His party must find a way to get by without the man who led them to new heights for at least the short term. And attempting to bring his passion and commitment to this country and its citizens would be a great start. – Black Press

I know we are just a small percentage of the whole of British Columbia but we were a huge part of the numbers that voted to not except the HST. I remember the line ups in malls and other places to sign the petitions. I felt extremely proud being involved. B.C. took a stand and something happened the Government had to stop the process - we did it. Now I’m asking if you were one of these people please send in your NO to HST ballot so we can follow through on what we demanded. Thanks for reading. Lets stand proud. Vote Yes to say NO to the HST.

Technology train is leaving me behind again

Alistair Taylor Out On A Limb

So, I’m behind in technology again. The realization of this usually comes when one of my electronic devices breakdown due to age. My “stereo” is starting to act wonky. So, I better start pricing out a replacement, I figure. Well, the last time I had to replace my “stereo” was in the mid 1990s when my component stereo went on the fritz and I discovered that records no longer existed and CDs were now the preferred medium of music delivery. So, I had to buy a stereo (the one currently giving me grief) but couldn’t find one with a turntable to spin 300400 vinyl records I had. Nowhere. So, I buy one with CD capacity and the soon to be dead cassette player –

double cassette player, woo! The cassettes disappeared within a handful of years too and I had to buy a whole new collection of CDs, replacing some of the 300-400 records I had. Some of them. Over the last 10-15 years I’ve been building up my CD collection. In the interim I got rid of my records in garage sales only to discover a year or two ago that someone has decided it’s worthwhile producing a turntable that can convert vinyl recordings into mp3 files. Thanks for waiting until I virtually gave away my 300-400 records. Do you know how hard it is to find a Gang of Four CD these days? Well, the trusty Sony (unmitigated plug – quality stereo, lasted 10-15 years now) is acting up. It hasn’t

given up the ghost yet, I’m employing the male repair method (wait to see if it gets better) but given the age of the unit, the outlook is bleak. So, I go looking for a replacement. Think I can find a CD player anywhere? No! Oh sure, if I want to buy a home entertainment centre for my HDTV, I can get a multi-CD player but a shelf unit? Nope. Do people not buy CDs any more? I know what you’re thinking, “Where the hell have you been?” I’m not a total Luddite. I do have an iPod. I’ve actually bought mp3s from a legal music download service but I didn’t realize the CD market had collapsed so much that CD players are now obsolete. Anyone want to buy a hundred or

so CDs? Just wait, I’ll be giving them away soon. So now I have to find a shelf stereo system that I can plug my iPod into or which I can load mp3s into. My usual method of listening to recorded music these days is to buy or borrow a CD and import the tracks into my MacBook’s iTunes player. At least this time I have the ability to convert my music before the player becomes obsolete. It’s this kind of situation that makes you want to pirate music. I’ve already discovered that people have uploaded all the music I used to listen to on my vinyl albums onto YouTube. And it’s free. For now. Give it time, that will change and they’ll find a way for me to pay for it.

The non-profit regional organization moved into the Robron Centre in early July. Before the move, the Campbell River child care consultant for

PacificCARE, Rhonda Teramura, serviced the North Island from her home office. “This will provide parents and child care providers much easier access to child care referral services, subsidy information, and the support of their local consultant in Campbell River,” explained Pacific-

CARE executive director Dianne Magor in a news release. Besides assisting parents and caregivers with child care subsidy information, and giving referrals and support to parents, PacificCARE provides resources to licensed child care providers, and provides training and

workshops to all child care providers. “ Wi t h ove r t wo decades assisting parents and child care providers, we feel very excited and fortunate for this opportunity to move forward and share our services and experience with the Campbell River and North Island communities,” added Magor.

Travel historic island Cortes Island Museum is offering a unique opportunity to travel through rip tides and narrow passages in Desolation Sound. The museum is sponsoring a trip aboard MISTY ISLES to circumnavigate historic Maurelle Island on

Wed., Aug. 17. Only certain tides during the summer permit the one-of-akind trip. Surge Narrows in Beazley Passage and the Hole In The Wall are famous for their tidal rapids but on this day we will be able to work our way

through at near slack water. Later in the afternoon the incoming tide will thunder through at almost 11 knots. Eagles, seals and sealions are often seen fishing in these fast waters. Along the way the boat will pass the Octopus Islands with

The trip will also take you through some fascinating historic places, from pictographs and old village sites to a 1920s store that is still standing. Skipper Mike Moore will be your guide to the rich marine and bird life of the area while also telling tales of the area’s history. MISTY ISLES will depart from the Whaletown public dock at 10 a.m. and returns at about 5:30 p.m. in conjunction with the ferry schedule. The cost for the trip is $115 (HST included). Participants from off island should catch the 8:30 a.m. ferry from Campbell River to Quadra Island which connects to the 9:05 a.m. ferry from Heriot Bay to Cortes Island where you can walk on. When you arrive in Whaletown a shuttle service is provided to the public dock. The shuttle will return participants to catch the 5:50 p.m. ferry off Cortes Island that evening. Make sure to dress for the weather, bring a lunch and don’t forget your binoculars and camera.For more information or to register please call the Cortes Museum (250-935-6340), email cimas@twincomm. ca or drop by the Museum.

Right or wrong, the pedestrian is always the loser in a collision with a motor vehicle. NowhereTYEE in British Columbia is that more apparent than in Vancouver. So far this year, the CHEV pedestrian death count has already exceeded that of the entire year of 2010. How can this be? One would think that crossing the street canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be that difďŹ cult, can it? Take out your earbuds, put down that texting device and hang up your cell phone, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to need to pay attention to this, just like you need to pay attention when you cross. Use a crosswalk, take advantage of trafďŹ c signals, walk donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run, look everywhere, make eye contact, wait until everyone stops, watch the turning lanes, point your way to safety, look in all directions, especially when you are crossing multiple lanes, keep looking, look again, hold childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t walk if it looks like they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop! Whew, that is a lot to remember after all! But, worthwhile to practice each and every time you cross. The alternative is not making it to the other side or making it anywhere ever again. Your life is worth the effort. The author is a retired constable with many years of trafďŹ c enforcement experience. To comment or learn more, please visit www.drivesmartbc.ca.

and invited the choir to be part of the Carnegie Hall event. We were honoured to receive this invitation”, said director Barbara Prowse. The choir has previously performed at Carnegie Hall in 2000. “Just to stand on the stage where so many musical stars have performed and to sing in such a spectacular hall is a profound experience. It teaches the students what can be achieved with hard work and commitment” Parents and singers have already begun the task of raising money for the trip and are planning many events to generate funds. “The kids are extremely excited about the trip and enthusiastic about fund raising,” says parent organizer Kim Stevens. Over the next months the public is sure to see singers out in the community collecting bottles, washing cars and doing whatever it takes to get to the festival. They are also are planning a Zumba Party for September, and perhaps a spaghetti dinner in the fall. In addition, choristers will be selling the CD that earned them the honour to attend the festival at these events. The choir will be ambassadors for Campbell River in the Big Apple and they hope the community will support them in this enterprise.

Shoal Bay Music Fest helps Rotary The fourth annual Music Fest on Shoal Bay, East Thurlow Island takes place on Saturday August 6th from noon to dusk. Musicians and bands (mostly folk and blues) come from B.C. and Washington to this free event on the lawns of Shoal Bay, which has a government wharf, small lodge and pub. A line-up of bands such as Morning Star Trio from Victoria, Brownville Blues Band from Bremerton, WA and many individual musicians from Alert Bay, Quadra and Seattle guarantees a busy stage and fun afternoon and evening. Members of the Daybreak Rotary Club are cooking an authentic giant seafood paella, as it was last enjoyed as Save-On Foods Paella at the Dancing and Tapas wheelchair fundraiser. This paella on Shoal Bay will be sponsored by The Framing Post and the proceeds out of this musical and culinary feast are again going to the Wheelchair efforts of both Campbell River Rotary clubs. Shoal Bay Lodge offers not only this free event for all ages, but also free camping for those who want to stay over night. There is limited moorage available at their government wharf, but a water taxi service will also be available at special rates. For more information contact The Framing Post at 250-286-9717.

Brooks, Elaine January 21, 1957 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; July 24, 2011

Elaine Brooks was born on January 21, 1957 in Nanaimo, British Columbia. Her parents are Lawrence and Marlene Plensky of Nanaimo. Her sisters are Lavonne Patterson (Martin Patterson) and Dell Plensky. Her brother is Skip Plensky (Susan Dunnigan Plensky). Elaine has two sons Richard and Bill Brooks. Elaine was a wonderful, much loved Auntie to Scott and Jeff Patterson; Ty, David, and Rose Plensky; and Dakota Plensky. Family was very important to Elaine. She remained close to her Aunt Jean and John Paolone, Uncles Jack and Bill Marsh and her many cousins. Elaine was also close to all her Plensky relatives on Vancouver Island. Her special friend was Bud Martin. Elaine was a collector of friends. Her laugh was infectious. She was the friend who remembered every birthday, holiday and anniversary. She was Mrs. Christmas. She made every Christmas festive. Elaine was very talented. She was the Queen of Quilts. She made beautiful hand-made quilts. She sewed, designed crafts, and shared her creations with friends and family. Elaine had a beautiful singing voice. She sang with the New Generation Choir as a young woman. Her mother always enjoyed hearing Elaine sing. Elaine was a wonderful cook and baker. She was known for her desserts, sweets and cookies. She was a well-loved daughter because she kept her father supplied with his favorite cookies! Elaine was a natural caregiver. Being a stay-at-home mother with her two boys when they were young was her career. Motherhood was the most important part of her life. Her sons have grown into strong, handsome, hard-working young men. Elaine was very proud of her sons. For many years Elaine operated a day care from her home. Elaine was Auntie to many, many children in Campbell River. Many families will miss Elaine. She was a happy person. Elaine always saw the good in every situation, every person, and believed in fun. She loved to travel. She was very athletic. She played softball all her life. She also enjoyed hiking, badminton, biking, and skiing. Elaine passed away very suddenly on Sunday July 24, 2011 from an unexpected heart attack. We would like to thank all the paramedics, ER staff, ICU staff, and Palliative Care staff who helped take care of Elaine. The NRGH staff did everything possible to save Elaine, and then helped both Elaine and the family through this tragic event. A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday July 31st at 1pm at Oliver Woods Recreation Centre, Nanaimo. Donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada and Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Society of BC appreciated.

and some hardware, which is what sport is,” Trenholm said. “As a track and field athlete we have to fight through the heart ache, work on the personal best, and if you are close, go for a medal.” Hoff and Rondquist stole the hardware with three gold and silver, with gold for Hunter and Nast. Hoff won gold in the 2,000-metre race with a smoking time of 6:35.19; 3:40.05 in the 1,200, gold in the medley relay and silver in the 800. Rondquist took gold in the Javelin, Shotput, Medley Relay, and silver in the Disc. His throw of 41.09 is now the top four alltime throw in B.C. Hunter won gold in the javelin with a throw of 33.47, which earned her a first in the all-time top ten throws in B.C. Nast received gold in the Medley Relay with a strong 200metre run. “All in all, I was very pleased with everyone’s effort, result and attitude,” Trenholm said. “We will be starting our cross country program in September, which I am looking forward to.”
