River’s in the pink, to Hydro’s delight PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Welcome to Pinky River. The famous Campbell River received a makeover – in pink – Tuesday as BC Hydro officials conducted dye testing throughout the day. “See! Look, you can already see where the pink dye is hanging around in the back eddies,” says Stephen Watson, pointing to the swirling pink water just above Elk Falls. At precisely 9:45 a.m., a crew deposited a harmless dye, Rhodamine, in the river, between Moose and Elk Falls. A helicopter, hovering overhead, monitored the dye’s progress over the 25-metre falls and into the canyon below. The river turned bright pink directly below the release point, faded to a salmon-pink as it plunged over the falls, and then dissipated to a greyish colour as it proceeded further down the canyon. The dye testing is part of BC

The Campbell River, just above Elk Falls, flows pink on Tuesday morning during a B.C. Hydro dye test. Pictured at right is the river a moment before the dye went in.
Hydro’s proposed $1 billion project to replace the aging John Hart Generating Station. The seismic upgrade portion of the project would include replacing the three old pipelines, which carry water to the generating station, with tunnels mined through bedrock. The project still requires official approval, but BC Hydro has diligently moved forward on planning and studies.
The dye testing – which may resume Thursday if more testing is required – will allow officials to accumulate data required for future environmental assessments and how to plan for various levels of flow when excess water is spilled into the river system. More importantly, it is expected to provide a better understanding Continued on A2

Fallen tree removed from river, but danger remains PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

noon of June 12. But now they were back, trying to conquer their own fears and doing much more to rid the river of a fallen maple tree. “It’s nerve-racking getting back to this spot. It’s bringing back the memories and it’s got my heart pumping,” admits 16-yearold Blaine Olney. Tyler Scorgie, 16, sums up his gut feeling in two words, “Pretty sketchy.” Nevertheless, they were back on Friday, by the water’s edge, lending their muscle to the day-long task of cutting and hauling the dangerous tree from the north side of the river, a few hundred metres downstream of Continued on A5

A dangerous tree was removed from the Campbell River on Friday by volunteers, including a group of boys who were trapped under the maple during a tubing trip on June 12. Pictured clockwise from the top of the page: Steve Harding de-limbs the tree; Jamie Turko reaches for a rope; Todd French, the hero, takes a break in the sunshine; and six of the boys pull together to remove a large limb from the water.

the John Hart Generating Station. “I think this is a good idea and it’s pretty fun, but it is a little scary next to the water,” says Bailey Boschman. Joining them were buddies Ryan Chickite, Landon Walters and the soft-spoken Todd F re n ch , wh o w a s acknowledged as the hero of the group after his calm instructions helped the boys free themselves during the terrifying ordeal. Tagging along with the group was their friend Hayden Arbour as the seven teens worked alongside volunteers from Camp-
bell River Search and Rescue, Jamie Turko, Keith Grier and George May, along with Steve Harding of Timberwolf Tree Service. “This is worse than climbing trees!” quips Harding, just after climbing out on the fallen tree, over the moving water, and cutting branches with his chainsaw. Harding, a former long-time member of search and rescue, wasn’t paid a dime for his work – “just free pizza” – but knew someone had to volunteer to get rid of the maple which came down during a winter storm mudslide. “It’s pretty crucial

to get this out of here before something tragic happens,” he says. Two weeks earlier, Turko, who also works as a river rafting guide, predicted the fallen tree would pose a risk to tubers and snorkelers. And just two days after his warning story appeared in local newspapers, the six boys went tubing and got caught in the tree. “The lifejackets saved us for sure,” notes Walters. Slowly and methodically, the fallen tree – known as a “strainer” – is de-limbed and cut down into chunks. Turko’s wearing a wet-
suit and climbs into the cold water to tie a line around the pieces and then the seven teens pull together on the rope to haul the limbs and trunk onto the muddy bank. “It’s a relief to see it gone,” says Olney. But danger remains just below the surface. In the middle of the river lies a root wad that is lodged and cannot be freed or hauled out. “There’s still a major hazard here,” warns Turko. “The current is way too fast. Hopefully when the water goes down to summer flows we can get at it, but there’s nothing we can do today.”

Our Water
Leaders: People Like You
There are many water conservation leaders in the City. They are the people who not only follow recommendations for water conservation, but add some creative touches of their own. Many people are proud Luisa Richardson to show off their watersaving ideas in their lawns and gardens or share their ideas at public events. It’s great to see that conserving water doesn’t have to cost a fortune in new appliances. Some of the great ideas include: • Water lawns once a week or less • Collect water from washing vegetables and fruit to water outdoor plants • Collect water when waiting for hot or cold water and use to flush toilet, or water plants • Collect water from household or garden shed roofs in rain barrels or buckets and watering vegetable beds • Mulch • Use micro or drip irrigation systems • Use a broom instead of a hose to clean driveway. Water conservation doesn’t mean doing without: It means becoming efficient with what you have. If you have an idea to share, talk to the Water Cyclers when you see them this summer. Or send your ideas to the water hotline (contact info below). Average water use triples in summer time and most of this increase is due to inefficient lawn watering. Increased use at peak periods compromises City of CR fire-fighting ability and increases operating and capital costs. For information on why water conservation is necessary in the City of Campbell River, and for ways to use water efficiently visit the CCR website, call or e-mail the water hotline: 250-203-2316, water. wise@campbellriver.ca.

Council won’t pursue webcam The city will not install a webcam as council decided the price was too high. The camera, which was intended to stream live video through the city’s website 24/7, would have cost the city a one-time $2,300 purchasing and installation fee and then another $900 annually to cover the cost of the Internet Service Provider. At the May 31 council meeting, Coun. Ryan Mennie said he liked the idea of providing Internet users with community access but felt the city’s partners such as Rivercorp and Campbell River Tourism should help foot the bill.

m e e t i n g , Wa r r e n Kalyn, the city’s manager of information services, told council no one was biting. “There’s been no response to agency request for cost sharing on web camera installation and operational expenses,” said Kalyn. He also looked at two existing webcams already in the city, as a potentially cheaper option, but again with no luck. A camera at Marine Harvest Canada is not operational, with just a single static image displayed and similarly, the webcam mounted at the Maritime Heritage Centre is not being used; Kalyn said he received no response to his queries about why that is the case. Kalyn’s recommen-
dation to council to purchase and install a webcam fell off the table after none of the councillors voted in favour of the proposal. If it had gone ahead, the city webcam likely would have been perched on the roof of City Hall or the Fisherman’s Wharf and would have been used to attract tourists. “Webcams provide a first impression for virtual tourists before they actually visit the municipality and are a very effective tool for tourism an cultural promotion,” said Kalyn. The camera would have provided visitors to the City of Campbell River website with a panoramic view of the waterfront and the downtown core.

Dangerous drugs stolen – may be for sale on the streets PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Police are warning drug users about potentially lethal methadone powder that was stolen from a Campbell River pharmacy early Monday morning. “Police are warning the public that these
Tenants flee apartment fire Everyone escaped safely, but a cooking fire has left apartment block tenants in need of temporary shelter after a fire at a threestorey apartment complex on Sunday afternoon.
Store located, in the Merecroft Village, and used a chain attached to a pickup truck to remove the store’s safe. The safe contained “a number of very potent narcotics which could be fatal if they are ingested by persons not prescribed,” said Massey. It is also
believed the pickup truck used in the heist had been stolen earlier from a local car dealership. “Video from area businesses confirms that members of the public were passing by the area while the offenders were committing this offence,”
said Massey. “Anyone who saw any suspicious activity in the area of Merecroft Village early Monday morning is asked to contact the Campbell River RCMP.” Witnesses can also provide information anonymously through Crime Stoppers.
When the first responding crew of the Campbell River Fire Department arrived at the scene in the 200 block of 1st Ave., at 12:16 p.m., flames were showing from a second-floor unit. “The crew captain immediately initiated an exterior knock down of the
flames while the other crew members made entry into the building to search for tenants and to make an interior attack on the fire,” said Fire Chief Dean Spry. “There were no injuries and all occupants got out safely…and various pets were rescued.” Campbell River
Emergency Social Services attended the scene to help the tenants with accommodations and basic needs. The tenants will not be able to stay in their apartments until repairs are made. Fire stations No. 1 and No. 2 responded with 23 firefighters and four
pieces of apparatus, to perform fire suppression and rescues. The fire department determined that cooking was the cause of the fire. “This incident is a graphic reminder of why we should never leave stoves unattended while cooking,” Spry said.

Our View
Betty Fox: Right mom for a tough job Betty Fox was a tough lady. No, check that. Betty Fox was a mom who had to be tough. Four kids, three boys. Working-class Port Coquitlam. Her second-youngest son is diagnosed with cancer. His leg is We say: Terry amputated. Fox’s mother was That’s enough to deal with. That’s for a lifetime. a hero in her own enough But the boy pushes. He saw things on the cancer ward. Just going on right with his life minus one leg isn’t enough. In the kitchen of their PoCo home a day after he completes a 17-mile run, he tells her his plan
to run across Canada — a marathon a day on one good leg and a prosthesis to raise money for cancer research. Betty reacts like a mom. We don’t know the precise words but they approximate “Are you nuts?” She tells him it’s a stupid idea and he’s smarter than that. She tells him no able-bodied person has ever run from Newfoundland to B.C. She fights, a mom trying to protect her child from himself. To no avail. Tough mom, determined kid. The rest of the story need not be repeated; it has become a hero’s legend in Canada, complete with requisite tragic ending. But that’s just the beginning of Betty Fox’s story, a heroine’s tale in its own right.
Where you or I might have retreated in our grief, Betty and the Fox family stepped forward. Where most would have held close their personal memories and moments, Betty went public. Where many might allow the Marathon of Hope to fade into history as something too painful to think about day after day, Betty embraced it, embraced her son’s cause and made it her own, embraced it and worked in spite of the pain, because of the pain. Terry lit the fire and she tended it for three decades. It was a tough job but somebody had to do it. – Richard Dal Monte, The Tri-City News
Good point: Health Anyone that thinks that the heath care system is not broken should go and try it out. Last month I unfortunately had a heart attack. Arriving at Campbell River Hospital, I was treated in the emergency ward. I was told that they would put me in ICU but that couldn’t happen because there were no beds. I spent the night in Emergency. I was then sent to Victoria – to the Cardiac Short Stay unit. They did their little operation and then I should have gone to the ward in the CVU. Again, there was no room for me so I stayed in the same Day Surgical Unit meant for an eight-hour stay. I spent four days in that temporary unit and had two more heart attacks while I waited. They even tried to send me back to Campbell River but again I was told there was no room at the Inn. While I was in Victoria I met an old fellow that had been flown down from Kelowna and operated on. After it was done he was told that he would have to find his own way home. What kind of system would let old people, with no place to stay, no money, and not able to look after himself have to find their own way home? I was fortunate enough to have family that was able to help me, what about the poor sod that is left stranded? Edward Olive Campbell River
Hard look at your choices in British Columbia today
Tom Fletcher B.C. Views
Let’s assume that when everyone in B.C. gets to be finance minister for a day, a majority choose to throw a $3-billion chair through the office window to show how mad they are about the harmonized sales tax. The cleanup will take two years, but first there will be a provincial election to decide who holds the broom and dustpan. And the choices are becoming clear. You have a new B.C. Liberal leader who has tacked to the centre on the minimum wage and business taxes in an effort to seek forgiveness for the high-handed administration that lost the public’s trust. And you have two opposition parties that are entirely reactionary in their approach to today’s fast-chang-
ing world. There isn’t much to say at this point about the B.C. Conservatives under John Cummins. They are against modern treaty settlements, the carbon tax and (I think) the HST. They stand for lower taxes, but so far that doesn’t include a reduced sales tax rate. The rest of their platform is platitudes, with enough of a whiff of protest to pave a path for an NDP government. And the NDP manages to make the B.C. Conservatives look modern. In January I described how the B.C. NDP constitution still formally endorses the government taking over major industries, and explicitly rejects all for-profit activity. I won’t
re-quote the convoluted Marxist language, which boils down to ‘state good, competition bad.’ A reader provides a real-time example of how this principle would apply to a problem confronting the B.C. government. To prevent another riot in Vancouver, the government should supervise an orderly redistribution of Stanley Cups. This core principle of socialism, an 80-year-old relic, was debated at the national party’s convention in Vancouver on the weekend. Socialist dead-enders rallied to keep it alive, rejecting vague new wording that favours “social democratic principles” to ensure “economic and social equality.” This isn’t just an academic discus-
sion for party conventions. One of the last acts of the NDP opposition in the B.C. legislature this spring was to propose a legislated end to poverty. According to their bill, B.C. should create a Ministry of Poverty Reduction with annual goals for imposing the redistribution of wealth. The “Poverty Reduction Act” contains a weasel-worded definition of poverty: insufficient money to “acquire and maintain economic selfreliance” and “facilitate integration into and participation in society.” Does this mean a guaranteed annual income? Can people achieve “economic self-reliance” by collecting welfare? Does anyone actually Continued on A19

Campbell River teachers conduct strike vote Campbell River teachers will take part in a province-wide strike vote next week. Teachers will be voting on “teach only” job action to begin Sept. 6, at the start of the new school year. Voting will complete by June 28, and results are expected no later than the last day of school, June 30. Negotiations for a new contract began March 1 at both local
and provincial bargaining tables but no progress has been made. The “teach only” action would see teachers in class, teaching students, but not performing other administrative duties such as entering attendance in computer databases (though attendance would still be taken), meeting with administrators, and administering mandated tests. Extracurricular
activities would not be affected. Teachers will continue to teach, assess students, and communicate with parents. Teachers are seeking improvements to class size, class composition, preparation time and various local issues. In addition, teachers are seeking a fair wage increase, to ensure B.C. teacher salaries are in line with Alberta, Ontario and western
Canada. “Quality teaching means ensuring the profession remains an attractive career opportunity,” said Neil Thompson, President of the Campbell River District Teachers’ Association. “Uncompetitive salaries will not attract the best to teaching. Combined with high levels of stress, overwork and large class sizes, B.C. is hardly on a path
to make our good public schools even better for families and students.” In September, British Columbia teachers’ salaries will rank eighth in Canada, with an average B.C. teacher with 10 year’s experience ear ning over $21,000 less than a teacher in Alberta. This fall, B.C. teachers are scheduled to receive a zero per cent wage settlement.

Airport expansion opens doors KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Campbell River is making “major strides in developing local tourism” with the expansion of the airport, said North Island Member of Parliament John Duncan. Duncan, city council and local First Nations were at the Campbell River Airport Friday to celebrate the completion of the upgrade project and to unveil the airport’s first piece of original art. T he $8.3 million project broke ground in July and came in under budget by about $500,00. It created an estimated 45,793 person hours of employment or approximately 22 years of work. The project involved the extension of the runway by 1,500 feet to a total length of 6,500 feet, modernizing the airport terminal building, and upgrading the field electrical centre. “These upgrades will help Campbell River
greatly as one of the fastest growing municipalities on the Island,” said Duncan. “And it provides important transportation options into the city and the whole North Island.” Bill Alder, who’s company, Sealand Aviation, is a fixture on the airport grounds, said with the expansion, the city is headed in the right direction. “It has the potential to attract more business and corporate aircraft because of the extra length. Now they can fuel up here instead of having to stop in a secondary location to re-fuel,” said Alder. “It gives the city the opportunity to have discussions with other airlines. It opens up a lot of doors.” He said the upgrade and expansion provides stability. “In reality, it should have happened a long time ago,” said Alder. “Now that it’s done, the city should start a movement towards really promoting the airport and the

Spend some time in these gardens There’s nothing like a day in the garden on a warm June day. Whether the sun is shining or a summer rain is falling, the fragrance and beauty of gardens of all sizes are a June joy. The public can get an up-close view of some joyous June gardens during the 2011 Campbell River Art Gallery Garden and Art Tour Saturday and Sunday. The fundraising event, sponsored by Royal LePage Campbell River, features 13 gardens this year, including eight properties new to the tour. Few people love the earth more than a gardener, so visitors to this year’s batch of gardens will see a wide variety of conservation techniques and eco-

Campbell River will be a big The General wheel in mountain bike circuit takes the main event Five hundred mountain bike riders from all over the world are about to descend on Campbell River. These riders are competing in a seven-stage mountain bike race, with Campbell River hosting stage two. With a mass start at 9 a.m. Monday, July 4 at Robert Ostler Park, the peloton (group of riders) will travel along the Island Highway toward Highway 28 and into the Snowden Demonstration Forest. The return trip to the finish line in front of the Tidemark Theatre will be along 16th Ave. The first rider is expected to cross the finish line at 11:30 a.m. The last of the 500 riders is expected to arrive at approximately 4:30 p.m. To add to the festive atmosphere at the finish, the City has arranged for face painting, entertainment and food at Spirit Square – something for everyone in the family to enjoy. “The square will be rockin’ and rollin’, so make a day of it,” says Spirit Square manager, Jim Creighton. “Take in the race, have dinner and enjoy a free concert.” Restaurants in the area are offering BC Bike Race specials, and Campbell River’s own Reunion will give a free concert at Spirit Square from 7-º9 p.m. For more information about the full day of BC Bike Race excitement, call 250-286-1161 and check out the Spirit Square website at www.spiritsquare.ca. The BC Bike Race circuit will make a stop in Campbell River on July 4 to take advantage of the area’s mountain biking terrain.
Jeff “The General” May picked up his first main event win in the Crash to Pass division A Saratoga Speedway on Saturday. The Hornet Cars and Roadrunners also raced on the night. May started his night off strong, by setting a fast time in qualifying with a time of 18.898. May competed hard in the dash, but Glenn Pinto managed to hold him off. Pinto took an early lead in the eight-lap heat, but soon Pinto would come face to face with May. May would eventually spin out Pinto and take the lead and the win in the only heat on the night for the Crash to Pass. The 20 lap feature saw May take the lead on the first lap and extend it to five car lengths. A popcorn yellow on lap 9 gave Dan Kemp the lead, putting May to the back. May would battle his way back, re-taking the lead on lap 14 and never looking back from there. Second place went to Pinto, and third to Kemp. Andrew Buchanan once again set a fast time in qualifying in the Roadrunner class, setting a time off 19.414. Buchanan has set fast time in every qualifying session this season. Buchanan’s old streak of winning dashes ended on Saturday; Weston Lane picked up the win in the dash. Andrea Cannon led the eight-lap heat for all but 1 lap; lap 8, giving the win to Buchanan. Cannon once again started a lap ahead of the field, meaning that the rest of the field would have to make up a full lap to catch her. Cannon led eight laps until Buchanan took over the lead and went on to win the main. Second went to Weston Lane and third to Cannon. Hornet cars qualified on Saturday, with the fast time going to Gord Fraser, setting a time of 18.149. The C dash went to Trevor Cannon, which marked his first ever win at Saratoga Speedway. The B dash went to Daryn Cahill and the A to Kevin Lawrenuk. Brad Dimitrov led the C heat for seven laps until Lane Pearson took over the lead and the eventual win. Jake Townsend won his first race of the season on Saturday, taking the win in the B heat. Continued on B3

Down’s heroics not enough to fend off T-men
O
n S a t u r d ay the Jr. Ravens travelled to the Nanaimo Ice Centre to face off against the Timbermen. It was a tough trip for the Ravens, coming away with a 15-6 loss. The Timbermen got
into some early penalty trouble and the Ravens would take advantage with a side by side pass along the crease from Smith to Marlow for the first goal of the game at 17:46. Hayden Smith would then get a goal of his own unas-
sisted five minutes later and with three minutes left in the first, Thomas Marks would take a quick shot after a pass up the floor from Tyson Fair to give the Ravens their third goal. The first period ended 4-3
for Nanaimo. The second period went back and forth with Smith getting a marker off the face off at 17:34 for his second of the game and Chris Vaux scoring unassisted. The T-men continued to shoot on

The pain showed in his face and movements but he didn’t want to give up the pipes and with no back up goalie he continued to play. Nanaimo would get in his face for another marker before Marlow would find the corner of the net on a bounce pass from Brayden Howes to give the Ravens their sixth goal of the game. Down would continue facing the T-men in net but as the crowd watched him try to fend off the opponents they would score another.

Home for Sunday
O
n Sunday, the Ravens looked forward to a home game after two weekends on the road as they would host the Vic-Esquimalt Eagles for their second match of the season and the Campbell River squads second game of the weekend. With Down out on the injury list and midget call up Matt Zeller unavailable, the fans wondered who would play in net. After an early season decision to take the year off, netminder Errol
Adams would recieve a call from the Ravens coaching staff and Adams would agree to the challenge of filling the net for the Jr Ravens. And fill it he did. Hayden Smith would start off the scoring in the game when at 15:52 he received a pass from Brayden Howes for the Ravens first goal. Vi c - E s q u i m a l t came back with their own four minutes later before Ravens captain Chris Vaux gets a rebound from Adams and with a break away would run the floor for an exciting second goal of the game. The first period would end 2-1 for the home side. Three minutes into the second Adams would need a quick break to calm some nerves before heading back on the floor to take control between the pipes. The first goal in the second would come when at 13:17 Brayden Howes would find his way around the Vic Esquimalt goalie to get
a marker on a power play pass from Eddy Lawson via Josh Whyley. Five minutes later Tyson Fair would find himself open in front of the net and would shoot to score the Ravens’ fourth goal. The home boys were on a roll now and as Vaux rolled the faceoff ball to Howes, he would pick it up to run the floor for his second of the g ame only seven seconds later. A few minutes later Eddy Lawson would pass to Smith to Marlow who would find the corner of the net for their sixth. As the Ravens didn’t seem quite ready a quick goal would come from Vic Esquimalt with less than a min. left in play. The second period would end Ravens 6 over the Eagles 2. The third period would find Fair on the scoreboard again after a pass from Howes and Blair Freer at 13:54 to give the home team their seventh goal. With pressure on net and the

look at players to find a back up for the third. Midget call up Cody Bezaire stepped up to the plate and dressed for net. Although Be zaire would make some saves, the defense couldn’t hold the T-men back as they would get 6 unanswered goals in the third but the Ravens showed their grit and that they never give up with heroic efforts by both goalies.

Vic Esquimalt Eagles playing 5 on 3, Adams would take another quick break before the Eagles would score their third of the game at 10:49. As the Ravens came off a penalty, Howes passes to Rempel coming out of the box for a smooth transition and a shot on net giving Rempel his first of the game and the Ravens eighth goal. Then after a missed too many men call for the visitors they would score their 4th goal of the game. The Ravens weren’t ready to give another goal up as the defense checked hard and at 6:35 a pass from David Vigneron to Arran Marlow to Josh Whyley would result in the Ravens’ ninth goal. Three minutes later the Ravens would rally round the net for Marlow to get another for the Ravens on a pass from Blair Freer. At the end of the game the Ravens would gain two points for their impressive 10-4 win over the Vic Esquimalt Eagles. The offense of those with points above as well as Adam Donald and Matt Lund played the ball and worked hard to get scoring chances, the defense lead by veteran Connor McLeod and rookie Chris Lund as well as Mac Maier, Cody Gent and Niklas Premke (and those with points above) talked on the floor to help each other out with positioning while keeping control and pushing the Eagles away from scoring chances. Credit on the win also goes to new goalie Adams for making saves while coming out to play the first Jr B game of his career. The Jr Ravens wish re gular netminder Logan Down a speedy recovery on a shoulder injury while they get ready for the last week of league play. On Saturday, the Ravens will take their last road trip of the regular season to face off against Saanich at Pearkes arena while on Sunday, the Ravens will finish the season in their home barn at the Rod Brind’Amour arena, game time 3:30. Minor Ravens players get in free wearing their jersey, and regular admission is $3.

CR DISTR TEACHERS The action was intense at Saratoga Speedway on Saturday.
First 2011 win for Buchanan Continued from B1
Brandon Philips led all but one lap to take home the win on the A heat, which marked his first A heat win of the year. Pearson battled his way from the very back to take the win in the C invert heat. Bob Fraser led the B invert heat for four laps until James Buchanan took over the lead and never looked back from there. This also marks the first win for James Buchanan this 2011 season. Wi l l i a m B o ye s started on the pole in
the A invert heat and managed to hold off the field from there, taking the win. The 25 lap B feature saw Brad Dimitrov get out to an early lead. Dimitrov held this lead for 21 laps until Townsend took over the lead. An altercation on lap 22 caused Tristin Gait to be black flagged, also taking out Jordan Phillips in the altercation. Townsend would go on to take the lead with second going to Dimitrov and third to Lawrenuk, who was filling
on for his daughter Jennifer on the night. The 30-lap A feature saw Cameron Philips take the lead on lap 1. Phillips held this lead for 17 laps until Daryl Cahill took over the lead. Cahill would stretch out his lead from there and would go on to win the A feature. This is Cahill’s second main event win of the year. Gord Fraser finished second and Daryn Cahill finished third. Extra laps…Next week will mark the first appearance of the
Wilroc Sprint cars and the Wilroc Lite cars. The Old Time Modified stock cars have also been added onto the schedule. The IMCA Modifieds will fill out the racing card on the night. Meanwhile, Saratoga’s 30th anniversary is approaching.

challenging hydroelectric operations year given the near record snow pack. “This is one-stop shopping for the general public to come out and lear n, ask questions, and provide input to BC Hydro’s Campbell River System hydroelectric projects,” says BC Hydro spokesperson, Stephen Watson. “For the John Hart project, we have been collaborating with key stakeholders and agencies for years, and it has been very helpful to understand and consider community perspectives as the project evolves. It is also very important
to talk and listen to the general public every June so that people have the latest information and can provide additional input. Success for this event is getting as many people out to the open house as possible - we would like to hear from you.” The John Hart Generating Station has been in operation for more than 60 years. There are river flow interruption concerns and potential impacts to fish, the need for seismic upgrades, and replacing equipment that has reliability issues. BC Hydro encour-
ages the public to come out to hear about the status of the project, and to also learn about commitments made to the Canyon View Trail, river access, Brewster Lake Road Bridge, to how it is collaborating and working with local and regional business leaders on possible economic benefits during construction. The procurement and regulatory processes are expected to begin later this year. An upgrade project to a section of the John Hart earthfill dam, near the Spillway Dam, will take place around mid-August to end of September. Staff will
go over the project, the closure to the Brewster Lake Road during construction, and the detour route. Staff will also be available to discuss the unique and successful Strathcona Dam Intake Tower Upgrade project completed last fall. BC Hydro’s Campbell River System operations engineer will go over the historical water inflows, inflow forecasts and the operational considerations for various water use interests. This discussion will include possible reservoir levels and river flows through the summer.

MHAS Team expands in Campbell River Adults with mental health and addictions issues in Campbell River will benefit from a further expansion of VIHA’s Mental Health and Addictions team and the creation of a food program. “This expanded program benefits clients and families by focusing on each individual’s needs and goals
and it reflects our commitment to ensuring that a comprehensive system of mental health and addictions services are available right across the province,” said Comox Valley MLA, Don McRae. The after-hours clinician that was introduced to the MHAS team over the last two years will now be avail-

able to clients seven days a week. To build on the success of this program, a rehabilitation worker is being added to the team. The rehabilitation worker will focus on connecting VIHA mental health and addictions clients with services and with maintenance of housing. “Improving access to services for individuals with Mental Health and Addictions issues is a key priority for VIHA,” said Don Hubbard, VIHA Board Chair. “This further expansion to VIHA’s Mental Health and Addictions team in Campbell River will make a real difference in the community and especially for clients as they move forward with their lives.” The rehabilitation
worker is a part of the client’s care team and will assist clients living in supportive and market rent housing will developing skills that will assist clients in maintaining their housing. This will be tailored to the client’s needs and goals. The after-hours clinician focuses on early i n t e r ve n t i o n w i t h individuals wanting to connect to needed mental health and/or addiction services and adds an extra level of support to individuals already connected to Mental Health and Addiction Services. The clinician works with other clinicians and the client towards enhancing coping and interpersonal skills and community connections, including more stable housing.

BPWN set to celebrate 20 years The Campbell River Business & Professional Women’s Network (BPWN) has been providing leadership and growth opportunities to women in the community for 20 years. To mark this auspicious occasion, the 20th Anniversary Gala committee is busy preparing a fabulous night of Entertainment and Celebration to be held at the Maritime Heritage Center on June 28th from 6-9 p.m. This marks 20 years to the day of the first official meeting of the BPWN. A silent Auction to raise money for the two bursaries will be held, and donations are still being taken. Each year bursaries are given to deserving women looking to move into the workforce through educational facilities. Auction items can be dropped off to Kim Jarvis at Shadoe Intimates, 249 10th Street (beside Chan Nowosad and Boates). The mandate of the organization is to help members develop their skills and contacts in a supportive organization. Over the years this has included at meetings: presentations by members, speakers, and networking over a great dinner.
