City puts ‘rubber on the road,’ tests highway KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
There’s room. After months of squabbling, city staff proved there’s space for an emergency vehicle to pass on the upgraded Island Highway. Council was supposed to conduct a test on Saturday at a highway open house to put an end to the controversy surrounding the highway. However, it seems city staff couldn’t wait until Saturday to find out as a picture was sent to the media Thursday demonstrating the very deed. On Saturday, the city will celebrate the completion of Highway 19A with an event that includes We Wai Kum First Nation dancers, refreshments and speeches. Coun. Andy Adams wants the event to highlight, what he says is a positive for the community. “It’s a significant project (with) economic infrastructure we’ll benefit from for years to come,” said Adams at Tuesday’s council

meeting. “It’s a beautiful road and the sewer infrastructure underneath is first class. “But there’s one thing that’s been nagging all along – that’s the issue of emergency vehicles and whether they can or can’t pass.” After the road re-opened to traffic in November, the local firefighters union claimed the narrow highway makes it difficult or nearly impossible, to pass other vehicles when responding to an emergency. “My position from day one is that it’s a problem,” Reid Whar-

ton, president of the firefighters union, said last month. He said there is not enough space for large fire trucks to navigate around idle traffic, particularly the section near Simms Road, with the rock boulevards and high curbs. City Manager Andy Laidlaw told council in April the road is fine after consulting with emergency responders, including Fire Chief Dean Spry. Laidlaw said the highway is not designed for a code 3 response (lights and sirens), but does leave
enough space and, if need be, emergency responders can mount the curbs to get around other traffic. That did not impress Wharton. “They’re telling us to take a $600,000 fire truck and hop a curb – wow,” said Wharton. “I’m pretty disappointed the city would tell us to do that.” This week Adams said the city can conduct a test in front of the public to resolve the argument. “I think we have an opportunity on Saturday to put an end to this once and for all,” said Adams. “I
propose we put a city truck on the highway and have a fire truck pass. This is a good news story, staff have provided us with all the information, council endorsed it. I believe this is a good thing. Let’s put the rubber to the road.” Acting Mayor Mary Storry was surprised by Adams’ proposal but did not oppose it. “Wow, I didn’t see that one coming.” The highway celebration takes place in and around the Simms Creek Pump Station Park from 11 a.m. - noon.

Drive Smart BC Wear Your Seat Belt Properly
2Xfull We all know that the law requires that we wear our seat belts when driving. The tyee chev Motor Vehicle Act says in part “..wear the complete seat belt assembly in a properly adjusted and securely fastened manner.” Why should we worry, and how do we know what is proper? During a collision where the occupant is wearing the seat belt properly the hips may move ahead as much as six inches, the chest eight to nine inches and the head twenty inches. You will strike anything within those distances. Wearing a seat belt improperly can actually contribute to injury especially in the case where the shoulder belt is worn under the arm. The proper use of seat belts can double the effectiveness of airbags in minimizing injury. Your vehicles owners manual is the best place to learn about how to wear your seat belt properly. It will explain how to fasten and adjust the belt to maximize both comfort and protection. It will also contain information on the correct use of child restraints. Some examples of what NOT to do with a seat belt: wear the shoulder belt under your arm, continue to use a frayed or broken belt, put more than one child in a single seat belt, using a seat belt if it is twisted and any “do it yourself” webbing repair. The author is a retired constable with many years of traffic enforcement experience. To comment or learn more, please visit www.drivesmartbc.ca.
Councillors hold off on hall’s heritage designation KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Paperwork is holding up the placement of the Willow Point Community Hall on the city’s Heritage Register. T he Lions Club, which owns and operates the hall, has been working with city staff since May to get the hall on the register in order to protect it and secure funding to fix it up. Tom McKenzie, who spearheads the campaign, says the hall has a rich history and he wants to see the building stay as the Willow Point Hall.
“There were dances, weddings, roller skating, all organized at the hall,” said McKenzie. “It was a busy, busy hall with dances every weekend.” The Lions would like to improve the hall and having it on the Heritage Register would not only recognize the building’s historical importance but also help secure future funding for restoration. “The Lions are considering raising and levelling the hall, replacing the kitchen, adding a deck and relocating the hall on the property to allow
parking in front of the building,” said Morgan Ostler, chair of the Community Advisory Committee, in a report to council. T he committee, which has been working with the Lions, hoped council would vote to put the hall on the register at Tuesday night’s council meeting but councillors felt something was missing. Coun. Claire Moglove noted that in order for a building or property to be put on the Heritage Register, a statement of significance – explaining why the property has heritage

order to be included a statement of significance is required so I would want to see that statement of what holds value before putting it on the Community Heritage Register.” Coun. Roy Grant agreed that he too would like to see a statement of significance. The hall was built in 1939 by mostly volunteers, and by 1940 it housed concerts, funerals and socials. It was originally owned by the Willow Point Community Club, which held weekly bingo and shared its profits with other non-profit and youth groups. In 1984, as Willow Point Community Club members got older, they asked the Willow Point Lions Club for help with bingo and eventually, in 1986, the Lions Club officially took ownership of the hall.

McKenzie said the statement of significance for the hall is about three-quarters of the way complete. “We’ve done a ton of research on it,” said McKenzie. “I have papers that go back to 1939 such as minutes and financial records from the Willow Point Community Club’s regular meetings.” He also has a binder full of old photos and newspaper clippings. Coun. Andy Adams said he would like to see that research before making any decisions. “It’s an interesting proposal but I’m not prepared to support it at this time,” said Adams. “It says in

Resident is fed up with potholes KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Dr. Aref Tabarsi is sick and tired of trying to avoid potholes on his way to and from work. Tabarsi lives along McIvor Lake Road and for four years has put up with the gravel road’s poor condition. Now he’s at the end of his rope and on Tuesday he plead his case in front of city council. “For 500 metres the road is so full of potholes,” said Tabarsi. “They’re big enough that you could swim in them in the wintertime.” Tabarsi wants the
city to put up funding to pave the length of the road, which is asphalt for about 2.5 kilometres, up to the entrance to the upper beach parking lot, and serves seven residences and BC Hydro The issue of pavi n g M c I vo r L a ke Road also came up at council last October. At that time, property owners said they would be pursuing a contribution from BC Hydro to help pay for paving costs, which the city expects would be $65,000. Former city staffer Bill Halstead had recommended in a report to council that area residents could

also pay for a portion of the cost to upgrade from gravel to pavement through a Local Area Service Tax, meaning the project costs would be recovered by a parcel tax against the benefiting properties. The city could then pitch in 25 per cent of the capital costs. But council never agreed to that option, instead voting to receive Halstead’s report. And Tabarsi said on Tuesday night that BC Hydro has no interest in chipping in for paving either.
He said he’s upset the city isn’t following through on its responsibility of maintaining roads. “If you don’t choose to asphalt it, then you have to regularly grade it,” said Tabarsi.

All about the Canyon View year.” Users are concerned that construction would cut off the loop trail at the generating station. But after rounds of consultation with local government, BC Parks and user groups, BC Hydro will re-route the trail around the construction site and up and over the pipelines that deliver water to the generating station. “The trail will be built to high standards,” says Kozak, who provided information at Wednesday’s BC Hydro open house at the Coast Discovery Inn. “There will be some steep sections, but we’re trying to avoid building stairs. And it will be beset amongst the trees; we won’t be taking out trees.” The goal is to have lit-

It’s a project that could cost more than $1.3 billion. It would include building a two-kilometre tunnel through bedrock and replacing the old John Hart Generating Station with a new building and three new hydro-electric generators. But those big-ticket items are incidental to what really concerns Campbell River citizens about the proposed BC Hydro project. “Everyone asks about the (Canyon View) trail,” says Jim Kozak, a public use safety and recreation consultant for BC Hydro. “The trail is the number-one community issue. Over 60,000 people [75,000 in 2009] walk it every

As well, the bypass trail would include a nice lookout spot where users can monitor the construction progress. When the construction project is finally completed – thought to be 2016 or 2017 – the plan is to re-open the closed portion of the trail in order to keep it as close to the river as possible. The proposed project still needs to go through an environmental assessment and will require final approval. Here are some of the other project details: ■ BC Hydro committed to replace the

The greatest show on Earth. Well...maybe not Ladieeees and Gentlemen! Witness the death-defying, daring display of municipal daring-do as a city fire truck attempts this Saturday to We say: Why circumnavigate a parked vehicle on Old Island Highway. has it taken until theCome one, come all. now to test the Sorry, we couldn’t resist because highway’s width? the issue of whether the city made a mistake in the design of the Old Island Highway upgrade has always had a bit of a circus air around it. Particularly the presence of clowns – but who
the clowns are depends on your point of view and we’ll leave it up to you to designate the clowns and the ringmasters. However you see it, the kerfuffle this issue has created has bordered on ringlike as melodrama and hyperbole has flown from both sides. Not unlike many other local issues, to be fair. City council decided Tuesday to conduct the test at Coun. Andy Adams’ suggestion. After the motion was passed, city communications manager Julie Douglas sent a picture Thursday morning showing the very test being done – stealing a bit of the thunder from Saturday’s demonstration. Perhaps city staff were a little nervous and wanted to be sure
the truck would pass the test? Chickens! Houdini is rolling over in his grave. The thing that puzzles us is why hasn’t the city done this test long before now? Some might say, why didn’t the city test the width of the roadway before the first pavement was laid but maybe nobody had considered this problem until the public raised it? Be that as it may, this furore could have been stifled months ago. The real issue here is one of reassuring homeowners along the stretch of highway in question that fire trucks will be able to reach them. Now, we just have to remind some drivers to pull over for emergency vehicles.
Good point: The HST It’s no secret that the tourism industry in B.C. has struggled with how to respond to the harmonized sales tax. However, in light of the proposed two-per-cent reduction, it is clear to the Tourism Industry Association of B.C. that the HST will be good for B.C.’s tourism economy in the long run. This was not black or white for us. As soon as the new HST was announced our association, which represents all of the major tourism industries in B.C., immediately began work, not to oppose the new tax, but to identify and implement ways to mitigate the effects of the tax on our sector. Part of our challenge was that the impacts of the new harmonized tax were different for different parts of tourism both by business type and by location: hotel prices went down, the cost of restaurant meals went up, and businesses closer to Alberta which does not have a provincial sales tax were particularly sensitive to HST. Like other concerned sectors of the B.C. economy, we noted decreased consumer confidence around the time HST was implemented in B.C. and Ontario in July 2010. This occurred in the early recovery period after a recession. We have been relieved to see that domestic consumer confidence has begun to trend in a positive direction. We are very pleased that the provincial government has promised to reduce the HST by two per cent and is actively championing improveme. Stephen Regan, President Tourism Industry Association of BC
Auditor-General wants BC Rail trial costs
Tom Fletcher B.C. Views
B.C. Auditor-General John Doyle has applied to B.C. Supreme Court for details of the legal defence costs for Dave Basi and Bob Virk, convicted of breach of trust last fall for their role in the sale of BC Rail operations. In a petition filed Tuesday, a lawyer for the auditor-general’s office said the information is needed so Doyle can sign off on the province’s accounts for the fiscal year. The province’s lawyer offered to comply, but lawyers for Basi and Virk cited lawyer-client privilege and refused. Attorney General Barry Penner said the government agreed to waive its confidentiality for the
audit, and won’t oppose Doyle’s court application for the information. In May, Penner appointed University of B.C. president Stephen Toope to review the province’s policy of covering legal fees for public servants who are sued or charged in connection with their duties. The B.C. government’s decision to pay an estimated $6 million in defence costs has been a lightning rod for critics. The policy was for the government to pay for legal defence of employees, and recover those costs if the employee is found guilty. Ministerial assistants in the B.C. Liberal government while BC Rail
operations were up for sale in 200203, Basi and Virk pleaded guilty in October 2010 to disclosing confidential bidding information and accepting benefits from a competing bidder. Their guilty pleas put an abrupt end to an eight-year investigation and court case that began with a police raid on the B.C. legislature. Cabinet members have insisted there was no political interference in the decision to pay Basi and Virk’s legal bills, made by the deputy finance minister and deputy attorney general. They determined that the majority of costs from years of pre-trial arguments would never be recovered from Basi and Virk, and costs
to taxpayers would continue to mount without the guilty pleas. In legislature debate in February, interim NDP leader Dawn Black noted that the $6 million legal payment was the same amount cut from the Crown prosecutor budget this year. “The government only covers defence costs in the event of an acquittal, but two Liberal insiders were given a last-minute sweetheart deal that cut short the BC Rail corruption trial,” Black said. B.C. Liberal house leader Rich Coleman replied that the accused filed a statement of fact with their guilty pleas, stating that they acted alone.

Fish buyer denies quota offer PAUL RUDAN CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
A fish buyer says he never offered quota to a halibut fisherman who was recently fined $120,000 in Campbell River provincial court. “He never asked me to cover his overage. That was incorrect,” said Blake Tipton of SM Products. Tipton was responding to last week’s story in the Mirror regarding Gerald Dalum’s conviction and fines for possession of more than 31,000 pounds of halibut and rockfish that he fished in 2007. The trouble was, Dalum didn’t have enough quota to cover the overage which he had brought to the dock in Port Hardy. According to court documents, Dalum thought he could buy extra quota from two other fishermen, but when those deals fell through, he wound up selling the fish to SM Products whom he had dealt with for years.
Dalum also claimed he believed Tipton could provide him with quota and the fee would be deducted from his cheque from SM Products. But that never occurred and Dalum wound up with an extra $90,000. As a result, Dalum was charged with nine fisheries-related offences. He was found guilty on four counts after the Crown dropped five charges. But Tipton took exception to
Dalum’s statement that SM Products offered to cover the overage. “He never asked me to cover it,” Tipton said during a phone interview from Vancouver. “Gerry and I were good friends prior to this happening.” Tipton also speculated that the reason Dalum never asked for extra quota was because his mission, “was to take down the Integrated (Fisheries) Management Plan.”
2X3
Dalum has stated he’s against the quota system instituted by Fisheries and Oceans Canada. He’s also supported a lawsuit against the federal ministry, in regard to halibut quota, which was launched in 2008 and is still ongoing.
“I don’t like fishing politics and I don’t like the quota system,” Dalum told the Mirror. As a result of the conviction and fines, Dalum, 67, said his days as a commercial fishermen are over. He is appealing the court decision.

Native to the Americas, Blackberries are bursting with intense fruit flavours. Often used to describe Cabernet Sauvignon, blackberry aromas are deep and richly fruity. This, along with lingering tannins and a gorgeous deep purple hue make it an excellent foil for the broad richness of Port. Bright berry notes lift up this wine, making it a superb foil for intense cheeses, roasted nuts and especially chocolate desserts. Oak: Toasted Sweetness: 7 Body: Full Alcohol by volume: 15% - 16.5%

More North Island students will have an opportunity to gain valuable work experience and earn money for the upcoming school year thanks to a Government of Canada initiative. John Duncan, Member of Parliament for Vancouver Island North and Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development, made the announcement today on behalf of the Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development. “Our Government has received a strong mandate from Canadians to continue creating jobs and economic growth,” said MP Duncan. “That’s why, starting in 2011, we have permanently increased the budget for the Canada Summer Jobs initiative by $10 million.” This year on the North Island, approximately 75 agreements will be signed with employers and about 150 student summer jobs will be created through nearly $400,000 in Canada Summer Jobs funding.

*Gold medal winner at the 2010 WineMaker Amateur Wine Competition.* Hugely popular last year, this wine is bursting with rich, intense flavours and aromas, has traditional Port character of warm, rounded cherry and plum, supported by a racy zing of bright raspberry. Perfumed and gently tart with luscious liquid chocolate, beguiling with dark, bittersweet aromas of coffee and vanilla. Toasty hints of oak guide the way to a long, rich finish.

HIDE THE CHEWING GUM! XYLITOL TOXICITY IN DOGS Contributed by: Dr. Nast, Campbell River Veterinary Hospital Xylitol is a naturally occurring substance that is widely used as a sugar substitute. Chemically, it is a sugar alcohol, and in nature it is found in berries, plums, corn, oats, mushrooms, lettuce, trees, and some other hardwood trees and fruits. Commercially, most xylitol is extracted from corn fiber, birch trees, hardwood trees and other vegetable material. Although it has been used as a sugar substitute for decades, its popularity has increased dramatically in the last few years. Xylitol is manufactured into a white powder that looks and tastes similar to sugar. In many countries it has been approved for use in oral care products, pharmaceuticals and as a food additive. Products that may contain xylitol include sugarfree gum, candies, breath mints, baked goods, cough syrup, children’s chewable vitamins, mouthwash, and toothpaste, to list a few. Xylitol is about as sweet as sucrose, but contains only about two-thirds of the calories. As a sugar substitute, it is lower on the glycemic index, a scale that ranks carbohydrate-rich foods by how much they raise blood sugar levels compared to glucose. Being lower on the glycemic index makes xylitol useful for diabetics or people on low carbohydrate diets. With respect to oral health, research has shown that xylitol helps reduce the formation of plaque, inhibits dental cavities, and stimulates the production of saliva.
Flea Control?
Xylitol is safe for use in humans. Xylitol, like most sugar alcohols, may have a mild laxative effect when eaten in large amounts, when first introduced to a diet. This occurs because, until the digestive system adapts, xylitol may not be completely digested in the intestines. This causes mild diarrhea and/or mild intestinal discomfort. However, XYLITOL IS EXTREMELY TOXIC TO DOGS. Even small amounts of xylitol can cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), seizures, liver failure or even death in dogs.
“Xylitol is estimated to be 100 times as toxic as chocolate to dogs.” In the past 5 years, Pet Poison Helpline, an animal poison control based out of Minneapolis, MN, has had over 1500 calls for xylitol poisoning, due to the growing awareness of this common kitchen toxin. In both humans and dogs, the level of blood sugar is controlled by the release of insulin from the pancreas. Xylitol does not stimulate the release of insulin from the pancreas in humans. However, when non-primate species (e.g., a dog) eat something containing xylitol, the xylitol is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, resulting in a potent release of insulin from the pancreas. This rapid release of insulin results in a rapid and profound decrease in the level of blood sugar (hypoglycemia), an effect that occurs

within 10-60 minutes of eating the xylitol. Untreated, this hypoglycemia can be life-threatening. The most common source of xylitol poisoning that Pet Poison Helpline gets called about comes from sugar-free gum. With certain brands of gum, only 9 pieces of gum can result in severe hypoglycemia in a 45 pound dog, while 45 pieces would need to be ingested to result in liver failure. With other common brands of gum (which contain 1 g/ piece of gum), only 2 pieces would result in severe hypoglycemia, while 10 pieces can result in liver failure. As there is a large range of xylitol in each different brand and flavor of gum, it is important to identify whether a toxic amount has been ingested. If you suspect that your pet has eaten a xylitol-containing product, please contact your veterinarian or Pet Poison Helpline (800-2136680) immediately. Do not induce vomiting or give anything orally to your dog unless specifically directed to do so by your veterinarian. It is important to get treatment for your dog as quickly as possible. As some dogs may already be hypoglycemic, inducing vomiting can make them worse! Symptoms of xylitol toxicity develop rapidly, usually within 1530 minutes of consumption. Signs of hypoglycemia may include any or all of the following: • Vomiting • Weakness • Incordination or difficulty walking or standing (walking like drunk) • Depression or lethargy • Tremors • Seizures • Coma. In severe cases, the dog may develop seizures or liver failure. Dogs that develop liver failure from xylitol poisoning often show signs of hypoglycemia. In all cases, your dog will require hospitalization for blood sugar monitoring, dextrose administration, intravenous fluids, liver protectants, and any other supportive care that may be needed. Blood work should be monitored frequently to make sure that blood sugar and liver function remain normal. If you personally use products containing xylitol, make sure they are stored safely, out of reach of your pets. Do not share any food that may contain xylitol with your pets. Only use pet toothpaste for pets, never human toothpaste. The toxicity of xylitol for cats and other species is not documented at this time, although there has been some concern that other non-primate species (e.g., cats, ferrets, etc.) may react to xylitol in a similar manner as dogs.

Arts & Entertainment Logging history comes alive on stage Send your arts and entertainment submissions to editor@ campbellrivermirror.com
Perhaps you grew up in a logging camp, or perhaps your father did, or maybe he lived in town and worked as a logger. Any way you look at it the people of B.C. have been g reatly influenced by the logging industry. If you or your family has been impacted by logging, the Tidemark Theatre has just the show for you running from July 5-9, when it presents “Good Timber” by The Other Guys Theatre Company and the Royal BC Museum. “Good Timber: Songs and Stories of the Western Logger” celebrates the golden age of logging in the Pacific Northwest - and the legendary bulls of the woods, hookers, hiriggers, fallers, whistle punks, and locie engineers from a time when loggers climbed trees. An original rollicking musical theatre revue, Good Timber is based on the logger poetry of Robert E. Swanson, aka the Bard of the Woods. Swanson’s poems document
a way that there’s a good flow and pace to the evening. Having multiple folks writing the music - credits to go ensemble members John Gogo, Colleen and Kelt Eccleston, Ross Desprez and Mark Hellman, as well as a few others - and the talented Tobin Stokes handling musical director duties means there’s a healthy dose
of musical variation, from sombre ballads to upbeat tunes. Good Timber originally opened at the Royal BC Museum in Victoria last summer where it ran for two months with such great success that it is returning there at the end of this year’s tour. Performances at the Tidemark are Tuesday, July 5 to Saturday, July

You will hear tales of chokermen, punks, apes and cat skinners (don’t worry, there’s a logging-term glossary in the program) as well as hard-working locomotives, chewing tobacco, card-hustling women and frozen loggers.

Washout prompts Oyster River trail improvements KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
An Oyster River Nature Park trail, washed out when the river overflowed its banks last year, is now re-built and open to the public. It has taken more than a year to repair t h e F i s h e r m a n’s Trail which had to be re-routed in parts that were too close to the Oyster River’s edge. Heavy rain caused river levels to rise and wash over the trail, taking out a
400-metre long chunk of terrain in January of last year. “The side of the trail on the riverside was completely flooded out and there was excessive damage as a result,” said Peter Woods, parks co-ordinator for the Strathcona Regional District. “The line between the river and the trail was blurred.” Woods also found dead salmon along the trail, which had been washed up out of the river. “I observed about

water subsided, certain areas were still inaccessible. Woods said that in realizing the importance of the trail to the public, the Strathcona Regional District, which maintains the 12-acre Oyster River Nature Park, applied for and received $7,000 in Provincial Emergency Program Funding. Last week, construction crews finished up smoothing over the new trail surface and filling in areas that were gouged out by the river. Areas of the trail that suffered excessive amounts of erosion have been re-built higher up from the river. “Our hope is the elevation will work as a barrier against future floods as well,” said Woods, who noted how much the trail means to people. “It’s one of our most popular area trails in the Strathcona Regional District. It’s popular because people of all ages can use it.” The Oyster River Nature Park is located halfway between Campbell River and Court e n ay a n d l i e s between the Oyster River, Strait of Georgia and the former UBC farmlands. It is comprised of a number of trails, the most popular the Pub to Pub trail which connects the Fisherman’s Pub and Salmon Point pub.

Before, during and after the war Ursula worked hard for her family, helping to support the family financially. Ursula met Helmut her future husband at HombergHof, which at the time was her place of work Helmut was smitten and was always struggling to get her attention.

Ursula’s many interests included bowling, joining leagues in Victoria, Courtenay and the senior’s league in Campbell River. Among her other hobbies and interests was a great talent for cross stitch, sewing and crochet. In the afternoons Mom loved to watch her soaps. The Young and the Restless was her favorite.

A volunteer group in Campbell River has received $7,500 to support the conservation and recovery of Pacific salmon populations and habitat in British Columbia. The grant was provided through the 2011 spring funding round of the Pacific Salmon Foundation’s Community Salmon Program to the Simms Creek Stewardship Society. The Simms Creek Stewardship Society used the funds to hold the biennial “Wetlands to Waves” workshop in Campbell River. The workshop, which was attended by 200 to 300 people, teaches volunteer streamkeepers about new issues affecting Pacific salmon and gives them strategies and tools to use when working in their own watersheds. This year’s Wetlands to Waves workshop was held over the May long weekend, and was attended by Mayor Charlie Cornfield, who recognized the hundreds of volunteers for their efforts. Projects funded through the Community Salmon Program focus on monitoring and rehabilitation of salmon habitat, monitoring and rehabilitation of salmon stocks, education and community stewardship. “Volunteers are the unsung heroes of Pacific salmon sustainability,” said Pacific Salmon Foundation president and CEO Dr. Brian Riddell. “Their impact on the environment can be seen throughout the province, from salmon hatcheries and stewardship centers to strategically placed rocks, trees and vegetation that protect salmonbearing streams. These are all the result of dedicated volunteers working thousands of hours to ensure a strong future for Pacific salmon.” Money for the grant was raised with the help of local residents who attended the Pacific Salmon Foundation’s annual Campbell River Dinner and Auction. The next dinner is Feb. 4, 2012 at the Campbell River Maritime Heritage Centre. Since the Foundation’s inception in 1989, the Community Salmon Program has awarded $9 million to 1,229 projects. In the last five years alone, grants made by the Foundation have helped the volunteer community throughout B.C. to create positive results. The Foundation works as a catalyst to partner with communities, organizations and businesses to provide grants and resources to more than 30,000 volunteers through grants from its Community Salmon Program.

Cortes Islanders invited into the province’s Community Forest Program
Quick Facts:
■ Cortes Island is at the north end of the Strait of Georgia, between Campbell River and Powell River. 40 per cent of the island (5,000 hectares) is Crown forest land. ■ Community forest agreements are a form
of legal tenure that enable communities to more fully participate in the stewardship of local Crown forest resources. ■ Community forests are area-based and give communities exclusive rights to harvest
timber, as well as the opportunity to manage and profit from other forest resources such as botanical products, recreation, wildlife, water and scenic viewscapes. ■ More than 50 community forests are
operating or are in the planning stages in British Columbia. Learn More: http://www.for.gov. bc.ca/hth/timbertenures/community/ index.htm http://www.bccfa. ca/

The Cortes Island gCommunity Forest Advisory Group has been invited to apply for a community forest, announced Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson, while at the BC Community Forests rAssociation annual general meeting in 100 Mile House. “Community forests rput economic opportunities in the hands of local communities so that they can do what is best for families. This is just one of the ways we’re working to help diversify the forestry sector in B.C.,” Thomson said. The invitation to apply is for an allowable annual cut of up to 13,600 cubic metres with an initial term of 25 years. The invitation is subject to First Nations consultation. The exact location on the Island will need to be determined. After the location has been determined, the Cortes Island Community Forest Advisory Group will prepare their application and submit a management plan to the ministry for approval before the community forest agreement can be issued. Bruce Ellingsen, on behalf of the Cortes Island Community Forest Advisory Group, said “On behalf of the Cortes Island community we are pleased to accept this invitation to apply for a community forest agreement. “It’s been a long road so we need to acknowledge those folks in our community who were previously involved trying to make this happen and also to thank the Klahoose First Nation for their support.” Kathy Francis, of the Cortes Island Community Forest Advisory Group, added “The province’s objectives for the community forest program seem like a natural fit for our community’s plans for managing the Crown forest lands on the island. “We want to specifically thank Minister Thomson for moving this opportunity forward for us.”

For the first time in resort history, Mount Washington will open for skiing and boarding in July. “It’s going to be a great winter this summer!” quipped Don Sharpe, Director of Business Operations at the resort. “If we can’t open the Bike Park due to the snow depths, then we’ll open up the mountain for skiing.” And in similar fashion to last weekend’s skiing event, the mountain will operate the Eagle Express chairlift from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., July 1-3, for snow sliding. Tickets are $25 per person. On top of the sum-
Daffodils bloom on the mountain and there’s still plenty of snow left for skiing on Mt. Washington.

“Last winter was the deepest snow season in resort history and we realized early on that our summer operations will have to work off different parameters,” said spokesperson Brent Curtain. Continued on Page A31
