Man succumbs to injuries, brother in custody RENÉE ANDOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
A 33-year-old Campbell River man is dead and his 18-year-old brother is in police custody. Police responded to a report of an assault in the 1800 block of Mo Road at about 2:10 a.m. on Wednesday. “On arrival, officers learned that a 33-year-old male resident of that location had been assaulted by his 18-year-old brother,” said Sgt. Craig Massey of the Campbell River RCMP. The victim was transported to Campbell River hospital where he succumbed to his injuries at 4:45 a.m., according to Massey. Names and details surrounding the incident are not being released yet, but Massey said the incident is “definitely a homicide.” When asked if alcohol was found on the scene Massey replied, “no comment.” Continued on A3

Tour: 37 shave their heads for cancer Continued from A1 each place we roll into, is just incredible what they do, they bend over backwards,” said Hall. The 22 riders spent the afternoon meeting people in the community, including local students, then had a rally at Campbell River Common. After parading into the mall with Campbell River RCMP Const. Darby Klekta and her horse Tosca
leading the way, the head shavings began. In total, 37 people sheared their locks for the cause, including seven-year-old Caydence Harris, five members of Campbell River Storm Junior Hockey Club, and Deputy Fire Chief Ian Baikie. Including the Cops for Cancer Golf tournament in July, Campbell River raised about $68,000 in total

are still rolling in. “Every penny counts and it’s been awesome so far,” said Hall. The riders had burgers and beer with the community at Painter’s Lodge before turning in for the night. Wednesday morning, they donned their helmets once again and cruised out of town under bright sunny skies on their way to the Comox Valley.
Hall, however, said the weather and terrain don’t really matter to them in the bigger scheme of things. “Everybody pulls together as a team,” explained Hall. “You just think about the kids, that’s what it’s all about.

A former Campbell River councillor is running for Mayor in the upcoming municipal election. Michel Rabu, the owner and operator of coffee shop, Gourmet Java, hopes to re-enter the political ring this fall. R a b u p r ev i o u s l y served on city council under Mayor Robert Ostler from 1985-1988. He also ran for a spot on council in 2008, albeit unsuccessfully. This time, he’s vying for the top job. “I believe that leadership, conservative fiscal policies and attracting new economic development in Campbell River are key issues on people’s minds and I believe that I possess the experience, com-
mon sense and dedication that will translate into a better operated, more cost effective and business friendly City Hall,” Rabu says. “I also believe that as a long time resident and successful business owner in Campbell River, I appreciate the qualities that make our city special in so many ways and I recognize our city’s potential as the best place to live, work and retire in British Columbia today.” If elected mayor, Rabu pledges to freeze property taxes in his first year of office and freeze RCMP and fire department hiring. He says he will also re-integrate Rivercorp, the city’s economic development organization, into City Hall. Rivercorp was established in 2001 as an independent body from

Sorry for any inconvenience.
the city but councillors have questioned the effectiveness of Rivercorp which is funded by the city. Rabu also promises to create, implement and encourage Downtown Core and Campbellton revitalization plans and conduct a peer review of all city managers. Rabu says he has the skills to work co-operatively with city staff to ensure there is no wasteful spending of taxpayer money. “I am considered by my peers as a team leader and capacity builder and I promise to direct city managers and staff to work in the most cost and result beneficial manner that will best serve the citizens and taxpayers of our city,” Rabu says. “I am committed to the process and respon-
sibility of the office – it’s time to get back on our proverbial feet.” R a b u ’s p l a t f o r m also includes reviewing and adopting a comprehensive Emergency Preparedness Plan, resolving the city’s interest in the three and a half acre waterfront property and addressing snow removal priorities and reviewing other essential city services. Rabu joins Coun. Roy Grant as the only candidates so far to announce an intention to run for mayor. Mayor Charlie Cornfield’s decision to not seek re-election means that come November, Campbell Riverites will have elected a new mayor in five of the last six elections. Municiple elections will take place on Nov. 19.

Modular classroom at Penfield not being used for kindergarten
CITY CURRENTS COMMUNITY UPDATE SEPTEMBER 30, 2011
WORK WITH US classroom, which is larger than a conventional classroom, energy efficient, brightly coloured and welllit, is one of nine the provincial government assigned to Campbell River schools. The province committed about $1.9 million for two modular classrooms at École Willow Point, two at Ocean Grove, two at Penfield, two at Pinecrest and one at Sandowne school. School districts had to determine last year how many modular classrooms they would need, which could mean School District 72 may end up with more surplus classrooms. “The commitment deadline for the number of modular classrooms school districts anticipated needing was prior to the Board of Education’s
KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
A brand-new modular classroom at Penfield Elementary is not being used to accommodate fullday kindergarten as intended. Instead it’s being leased by an outof-school childcare program which has taken up residence in the classroom since the beginning of September. “Given an enrolment decline at Penfield Elementary, there was unanticipated space within the actual school building,” said Jennifer Patrick, School District 72 spokesperson. “The principal (Steve Koebel) made the decision that it would therefore be beneficial to house the kindergarten students within the building, instead of the modular classroom.” The modular

Drive Smart BC Wet Weather 2X14 Driving Are you prepared to drive on wet roads after our dry summer? It’s time to shift mental gears and be ready for another CHEV season of lessTYEE than ideal driving conditions. Many drivers try to blame their crashes on the weather, but a more truthful answer might be that the reason for the crash is failing to take the weather into account. The crash rate in wet weather is highest immediately after a period of dry highways. Contaminants deposited on the pavement surface during dry times may be spread into a slippery ďŹ lm when the rain starts. Extra care is required until the rain can wash these contaminants off of the pavement completely. Hydroplaning is an ever present danger on wet roads. It is inuenced by four things: tread depth, tire ination pressure, speed and the depth of the water on the road surface. Drivers have complete control over the ďŹ rst three items and some control over the last. Do your tire maintenance checks regularly and replace tires when required. Keep an eye out for water pooling or running across the roadway and slow down accordingly. Wet weather also means poor conditions for driver vision. Replace your windshield wipers at the ďŹ rst sign that they are not doing the job of clearing the glass properly. Also, make sure your washer reservoir is ďŹ lled with the appropriate cleaning uid for the season. The author is a retired constable with many years of trafďŹ c enforcement experience.

“We’re getting ready now to do the framing, so I’m calling on all builders to come down and donate a day to frame it,� Goodwin said. “My son plays for the Bantam A hockey team so we’re going to get the players to come down on the weekend and help out.� Goodwin took it upon himself to fix up the Food Bank after seeing the condition of the building first hand. As a Shaw employee, Goodwin picked up and dropped off curbside Food Bank donations during the company’s Harvest the River campaign last October. “As I dropped off food here, I noticed
this place is a dump inside,� Goodwin said. “I used to build houses on the side so I figured I could pick up a few trades men on the cheap and get this place re-built for hardly anything.� Ann and Georg e Minosky, administrators of the Food Bank, told Goodwin the most pressing need was for a covered holding area for the 200-250 people who line up each day to use the Food Bank. “It’s taken 11 months to get the engineer drawings done, get a per mit application approved by the city and to gather all my trades contacts,� Goodwin said.

The city may be one step closer to having its own community forest. At last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strategic meeting, councillors voted to hire a forestry consultant for no more than $6,000 to determine the viability of a community forest.
Council was presented with a recommendation to apply for a community forest two months ago but was hesitant to get involved. Nigel Ross, chair of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Future Forestry Task Force, warned council that there were a number of considerations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Campbell River is a forest dependent com-

munity and a community forest would fit with the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme,â&#x20AC;? Ross said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Community forests can be a viable business and can make a positive fiscal contribution to the town. But it should be kept in mind that any business does have the risk of losing money, especially if social objectives override fiscal priorities.â&#x20AC;? Community forests are on provincial land and leased by communities for terms of 25 years, with a renewable option every 10 years. Although the lessee decides when, where and what to log and who to sell the logs to, the location of the forest is a joint decision between the community and the

province. The location of the forest, as well as the objectives, are the biggest factors in whether or not the city could turn a profit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it is run like a business it might make money, if it is run for social reasons then it will probably lose money,â&#x20AC;? Ross said. He said if the city is offered a community forest, the land base and the timber resource should be critically evaluated as both have a big impact on profitability. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is some vacant crown land around Campbell River that is presently not contributing to the provincial AAC (Annual Allowable Cut),â&#x20AC;? Ross said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This land should be

incorporated into the Community Forest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It should be noted that much of this land is within the Campbell River Community Watershed and could be very environmentally sensitive.â&#x20AC;? Ross said if the city goes ahead with a community forest it should also consider making the logs available to local businesses at market prices and management of the forest should not be handled by the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All phases of the community forest should be tendered out,â&#x20AC;? Ross said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The manager should be given clear objectives to achieve. If there is a board of directors the manager reports to, then they should be largely volunteer.â&#x20AC;? Ross said he believes a community forest would be a good fit for Campbell River but stresses it can be a risky business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The chances of profitability can be greatly improved if actions are taken to maximize revenue and minimize costs,â&#x20AC;? Ross said.

Paws & Claws
1. Dogs don't need to be housebroken - they naturally know where to go. If they make a mess in the house, they should be punished. You need to train your dog on where to go, using praise and positive encouragement for jobs well done, rather than punishment when you find a mess after the fact. Unless you catch your dog "in the act", punishment does not serve any useful purpose, and will only make your dog nervous. 2. Pet dogs do not need to be obedience trained. This is not true. Every dog should be trained using positive reinforcement rather than punishment. Ideally, you should take your dog to obedience classes so that he or she learns to behave even when there are distractions such as other people or other dogs. 3. Female dogs should have a litter before they are spayed. There are no good reasons to allow your dog to have a litter before spaying her; in fact, dogs that are spayed have a significantly lower risk of developing breast cancer or uterine disease.
7. Dogs eat grass when they are sick. Dogs descended from wild wolves and foxes that ate every part of their "kill", including the stomach contents which included berries, grass, and other vegetation. Many scientists believe grass was once part of dog's normal diet and

eating small amounts of grass is normal. 8. Dogs are sick when their noses are warm. This is an old wives tale. The temperature of a dog's nose does not indicate health or illness. It also does not indicate if they have a fever. The only accurate method to access a dog's temperature is to take it with a thermometer. 9. Dogs lick their wounds to heal them. Their saliva has healing properties. It is natural for a dog to lick its wounds. However, too much licking can actually inhibit healing. Since dogs routinely lick their anus and other objects that are laden with bacteria, licking can also deposit infectious bacteria on and into the wounds, thus potentially causing a serious infection.

5. Happy dogs wag their tails. Dogs do wag their tails when they are happy, but they also wag their tails when they are upset or challenged. There are several physical body motions and cues that help dogs communicate their intent. A wagging tail can mean either agitation or excitement.

6. Dogs like tasty food like table scraps. Dogs have very poor taste buds and eat primarily based on their sense of smell. Table scraps that are fatty can cause digestive problems such as pancreatitis, while chunks of bone can obstruct the intestines. Cooked bones are brittle and when they are chewed they can break up into sharp fragments that can pierce the intestines, which can cause a life-threatening emergency.

Our View
B.C.’s policing plan backfires B.C. might have shot itself in the foot with Ottawa’s gun by threatening that municipalities were prepared to abandon the venerable RCMP and form a provincial force. The remarks, made recently by Langley’s Peter Fassbender, the Union of B.C. Municipalities’ observer in contract negotiations We say: It’s a between the province and Ottawa, very expensive came as a reaction to what many consider an unpalatable policing deal and challenging with the Mounties. prospect While the proposed 20-year contract for policing services throughout much
of the province is indeed expensive and undesirable, the comments that we’ll take our gun and strike out on our own are somewhat premature. For one, we don’t even own the gun. Everything from the guns and handcuffs to the cruisers and computers, ultimately belong to Ottawa. Despite the threat to form our own force, it appears no one has really done the homework on how feasible that really is. No one is presenting any numbers that show what starting a provincial force would cost, nor how it would save us money and hassle in the long-term. Solicitor General Shirley Bond called it a “very
expensive, very challenging” prospect. In other words, we can’t afford it and probably can’t figure out how to do it. It’s no surprise then that Ottawa called B.C.’s bluff this week, issuing an ‘ultimatum’ that we either sign the contract or the Mounties will march into the sunset. Next time, before we go off making threats halfcocked, perhaps we should make sure we’re not taking aim at our own boots and the gun isn’t about to backfire. – Black Press
Good point: Voting I lived in the U.S. For 17 years. I too am very concerned about the Americanization of the parliamentary form of government. Because of fixed elections the Americans spend billions on campaigns, that could be better used elsewhere, and are obligated to those who donate to those campaigns. They are now spending millions for an election that is more than a year away. However, I am equally concerned about choosing party leaders by party hacks, leadership conventions, and $10 membership cards. Party leaders should be chosen by their caucus, the MPs and MLAs the only people we the people get to vote for. Our current premier is a case in point, there was no need for a convention when Campbell resigned, the caucus simply needed to choose a new leader. The last two Liberal leadership conventions also showed us the folly of this system. Two very intelligent men, academics, but not parliamentary leaders, elected by the party and soundly defeated by the electorate. Should not the caucus, the MPs and MLAs whom we the people actually vote for and who should best know who the best leaders are, choose that leader? That is the way the system is supposed to work, not through party conventions and fixed elections. I think if Canadians are watching American politics right now they should think twice about mimicking Continued on A11
What is exactly the definition of a journalist in Canada? I was interviewed on a Victoria radio station earlier this month about an issue now starting to wake up the journalistic community — professionalization. I was wearing one of my other hats, that of chair of the Canadian Association of Journalists (CAJ), an organization now taking a look at the idea. Sparking this debate — and that is truly what it is in the media community — is a plan by the Quebec government to create the title of professional journalist. Under the Quebec plan, this designation would give
those journalists special consideration — information from government, for example. It’s a plan that has caused a massive uproar within the Quebec journalistic community, with various columnists opining this would put reporters under state control and other strange musings. I’ve been in favour of professionalization for a long time, although it was a tough conversion. My husband, who worked in the business for many years and now teaches it at Thompson Rivers University, started researching it and published papers on
the idea. He’s in favour of something else? As journalists, we seem it. I wasn’t but, having seen to have some strange dishow the industry has frac- connect between how we view ourselves tured in recent and how we want years, I eventually Dale Bass to be viewed.

me now working on a computer, posting online and using social media. (Yes, I started even before there were electric typewriters in newsrooms, when there was a handful of women in a predominantly male department of about 160 reporters and editors.) One of the main reasons I’m in favour of it, though, is because I see it as a sure way we can do something we’re really lousy at — explaining to our consumers what we do, how we do it and, most importantly, why we do it. There’s a reason many
people don’t trust my profession — we don’t tell them why they should. We simply call people up, ask them questions and expect them to provide the answers. We pass judgment on people without explaining why we should have that right. We owe it to ourselves, too, so that in this world where anyone who knows how to blog can call themselves a reporter, there are some clear definitions out there to sort out the wheat from the chaff.

CUPE members, city unable to strike a deal KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Talks between the City of Campbell River and CUPE
city workers ended once again yesterday without a contract agreement. CUPE members and city staff met

said the city asked for more time to respond to CUPE’s demands but is hopeful a deal will be reached soon.
“We’re still optimistic we can get a settlement,” Thomson said. “We’re keeping our fingers crossed.”
He said he couldn’t say how close the two sides are to an agreement but acknowledged “we’re still talking – that’s a

good sign.” Thomson said he planned to speak with Cameron Thursday afternoon, after the Mirror went to press, to determine where the two sides go from here and whether it’s worth getting back together. “At this point, there’s no further meetings scheduled but the mediator may require more time,” Thomson said. “We’re always open to discussion and open to a settlement, if it’s worthwhile. We don’t want to talk for the sake of talking, we want a tentative deal.” Blaine Gurrie, president of of the Campbell River CUPE unit, said the union wants changes to working hours and changes to recall language for hiring back employees after being laid off. CUPE workers have been without a contract since Dec.31, 2009. Talks had been kept to a minimum to allow the city time to deal with the Catalyst Paper shutdown. But three weeks ago, 137 of the 161 CUPE municipal employees voted 88.3 per cent in favour of strike action after going to the negotiating table 10 times prior. However, workers have remained on the job while discussions with the city are ongoing. Laura Ciarniello, the city’s general manger of corporate services, has said she doesn’t see job action happening but that a strike vote is part of the process. Both sides are hopeful an agreement can be reached as soon as possible. Campbell River CUPE members provide public services at City Hall, the airport, recreation centres, public works, waterworks and sewage treatment and the RCMP. The workers are part of CUPE local 401, which represents workers in Campbell River, Nanaimo, Parksville, Ladysmith, Qualicum Beach and Lantzville.

Creative Industries putting Campbell River on the map RENÉE ANDOR CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Imagine a trendy, new, and flourishing economy for Campbell River. After the mass resource job losses a few years ago, Campbell River could come out of the ashes to be a hub for creative industry jobs – at least that’s what Campbell River Creative Industries Council (CRCIC) is working towards. Shannon Baike, CRCIC executive secretary, said the initiative is designed to grow economic aspects of the community that are already here. “Rather than developing an organization around reactive needs, it’s really based on some of the assets in our community and how can we help grow those organically,” explained Baike. “How can we diversify? And what’s Campbell River going to look like in five
years, ten years, 15 years out?” The not-for-profit organization focusses on sectors like software, animation, film, art, research and development, design, and publishing, among other things. Made up of representatives from North Island College (NIC), the city, First Nations, and local businesses and organizations, the group is quite diverse, but with a common goal of stimulating the economy in Campbell River with new industries. In the six months it’s been around, CRCIC concentrated on showcasing Campbell River at the Special Interest Group on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques (SIGGRAPH) conference in Vancouver during August. It also ensured some of the installations shown there were then displayed in the Museum at Campbell

The Marc Atkinson Quartet will fire up the 2011-12 season of high-quality musical performances, presented by Quadra Cultural Committee, with sizzling, Django-style, finger picking fun. “He picks in the same kind of league as Chet Atkins,” said Loudon Wainwright, of Maverick Magazine about B.C.’s Marc Atkinson. Atkinson will bring his outstanding technique, his fluent and graceful style and a set of new compositions to the Quadra Community Centre on Saturday, Oct. 15 at 8 p.m. Atkinson is a multiple award-winning, world-touring, West Coast Canadian, whose guitar playing and composing has been described as “jawdropping,” “stunning,” “dazzling” and “flawless.” He has performed at festivals from Celtic Connections in Glasgow, to the Montreal International jazz Festival, to California WorldFest, to Tonder Festival in Denmark and
GET READY FOR FALL
2006 for an Outstanding Album Award at the Western Canadian Music Awards. Multi-instrumentalist, composer, arranger, and producer, Atkinson is one of Canada’s most talented musicians. His catchy compositions take guitar beyond the usual repertoire and sound into a fiery but elegant musical style infused with a blend of influences from classical and jazz to rock, while maintaining the laidback humour and casual ‘good time feel’ of Canada’s West Coast. The new Quartet includes Atkinson on acoustic guitar and mandolin; Adrian Dolan co-founder of
Marc Atkinson
even for the Queen. His self-titled CDs have garnered much critical acclaim: Marc Atkinson Trio II was voted one of the top five albums in North America by Acoustic Guitar Magazine and Marc Atkinson Trio III was nominated in
the Bills and touring artist with such names as Ridley Bent and The Chieftains, on fiddle, accordion, viola, and piano; Joey Smith also in the Marc Atkinson Trio and formerly with the Glen Miller Orchestra on stand up bass; and Kelby MacNayr on percussion. Jurgen Gothe from CBC’s Disc Drive includes Marc Atkinson solidly in a top-10 list with the likes of the Rosenberg Trio and Iceland’s Guitar Islancio. Victoria News describes one of Atkinson performances: “...punching out lively tunes with technical prowess, yet still interspersed with episodes of emotion-
ally charged improv... he darts up and down the length of the fretboard, plucking out a barrage of well-timed notes with amazing dexterity.” Tickets for the Marc Atkinson Quartet are available at the usual outlets: The Music Plant in Campbell River and on Quadra at Hummingbird Office and Art Supply and at Quadra Crafts. Advance tickets are $17. Door: $20. For more information: www.marcatkinson. com or 250-285-2580.

Witnessing the unimaginable Teacher makes use of technology to fulfill kids’ needs KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
S
outhgate teacher Robynne Fraser has witnessed many small miracles in her classroom. She has seen firsthand a student classified as selective mute, speak for the first time, children whose parents were told they would never read, do the unimaginable and autistic children learn to share. Those and other huge feats were made possible because Fraser teaches her students how to use technology. “Although I’m not great with technology I do really see how it benefits the kids and I think more needs to be given to them,” Fraser says. “I think the special education departments in Camp-
bell River are starting to go more towards using technology and people are really buying in because they can see how the kids have grown and developed because of technology.” Fraser, a Skills for Life instructor, works with students from Grades 7-9 who have intellectual disabilities. Her work and the progress she’s made with her students made her the grand prize winner of a Teaching and Technology Story and Sweepstakes contest sponsored by CDW Canada last May. Fraser, who edged out nearly 3,000 entrants from across Canada with her essay The Miracle of Technology, won $5,000 worth of technology including: two laptops, a projector, a keyboard, a web-

Southgate teacher Robynne Fraser has seen students in her Skills for Life class interact with each other for the first time using augmentative communication devices which allow students to press buttons and have the tools speak for them. Fraser’s use of technology in the classroom to help her students was recognized in a national contest.
cam, a printer, digital cameras and a pocket video camera. “I was really excited for the kids, it was sort of like Christmas when everything started arriving,” Fraser says. “It’s an opportunity to use equipment we
wouldn’t otherwise get to.” Fraser and her group of Educational Assistants, whom Fraser describes as “amazing” and credits for buying into her vision, have the kids using Smart Boards which allow the stu-
dents to manipulate objects on the screen and gets the students to engage in lessons. The kids also use a Wii for much-needed sensory body breaks and to work on motor skill development. Fraser recalls one particular joyous moment
when a student with autism realized with delight that they had, for the first time, just finished playing with a peer, instead of atypical solitary play. Cameras have also played a large role in helping many of Fraser’s students who have autism. “A lot of the kids don’t want to look at the face because there’s so much going on and facial expressions are hard for them to understand,” Fraser says. “The cameras help them to understand where the face is and it helps them make eye contact. “It also is a way of getting my kids to interact because they have to ask if they can take a picture plus other kids will come up to them and ask to have their picture taken. It’s a way of socializing.” The cameras are also used in the production of yearbooks which are unique to the Skills for Life class. Each student in the class makes their own individual page using computer
programs like Powerpoint and Microsoft Publisher. The students are also familiar with using walkie-talkies. Fraser says they are the perfect tool to teach the students how to share, because they have to take turns speaking. It also helps the kids with their annunciation because they have to slow down and speak clearly to get their message across. Fraser says seeing her kids thrive and learn to do new things makes her feel like a proud parent. “It’s just huge,” Fraser says. “It’s just so exciting to hear a kid talk for the first time, or interact with another student for the first time. It’s amazing what these kids have achieved, and it’s technology that’s allowed it to occur. “So much of special education can be heartbreaking but when you get a kid to do something for the first time, it’s such an amazing high, you just feel like a proud parent.”

Land-based salmon farming workshop brings farmers together GRANT WARKENTIN SPECIAL TO THE MIRROR
Farming salmon on land is possible, but is currently a risky proposition only suit-
able for niche markets, salmon farmers heard this week. Tides Canada and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation sponsored a two-day
2X3
Aquaculture Innovation Workshop at Painters Lodge Monday and Tuesday. The workshop was attended by about 75 people, many from local salmon farming
and supply businesses. A lot of the discussions were about Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) technology, which Campbell River-based salmon

far ming companies use to grow salmon from egg to smolt size in land-based hatcheries before transferring the fish to the ocean. The workshop featured researchers and experimenters in the aquaculture field and speakers provided insights into several closed-containment aquaculture experiments happening around the world. Thue Holm, the CEO of Atlantic Sapphire AS, is currently working on developing a facility in Denmark capable of far ming 1,000 metric tonnes of salmon on land. However, he offered some words of caution. “It’s a niche product,” he said, pointing
out that a small-scale facility such as his can’t compete directly with the main farmed salmon market. Finding a specialized market for his product, as well as selling it at premium pricing, is important, he said. Location is also crucial, said Steven Summerfelt, director of aquaculture systems research for the Freshwater Institute in West Virginia. Summerfelt spoke at the workshop about several projects he is involved with, including a planned land farm site in Washington State which can buy electricity for only two or three cents per k i l ow at t - h o u r ( B C Hydro’s business rates are closer to 9 cents per
kilowatt-hour). Summerfelt said far ming Atlantic salmon on land has potential “if you can pick sites with cheap power right next to the market.” In order for landbased salmon farms to be profitable, he said, they have to farm fish at much higher densities than ocean net pens. Conventional net pen systems farm fish at a density of about 15 kilograms of fish per cubic metre at their peak size. In order for a land-based farm to be profitable, it would have to farm fish at densities close to 80 kilograms per cubic metre or even higher, he said. Continued on A25

Campbell River man rides race in brother’s memory
JILL COLLINS/SPECIAL TO THE MIRROR
Steven Crerar negotiates the course during Saturday’s MOMAR race in Cumberland. The Campbell River man dedicated his race to his late brother.
The Atmosphere Mind Over Mountain Adventure Race (MOMAR) celebrated the end of their twelfth season this past Saturday in Cumberland. Campbell River’s Steven Crerar participated as a solo racer for the first time this year, with his brother’s memory at his side. The two brothers raced the MOMAR Cumberland together four years in a row. In October of last year, 2 9 - ye a r- o l d B r ya n Crerar was killed by a drunk driver while riding his skateboard. T his year, Steven decided to continue the tradition to honour both his brother and the love of the sport that his brother passed onto him. “He [Bryan] pushed me into it just to get me out,” says Steven. “It was really fun so I kept doing it and getting a little better every year. He was my motivation. He still is but in a different sort of fashion. It meant a lot to me to finish this year.” When asked if he will be back to race again, Steven says, “I’m hooked now. I can’t not do it.”
Steven crossed the finish line at 5:33:46, one of the top times of the day. “Steven had a remarkable race but missed getting one of the checkpoints in the orienteering course,” says MOMAR Race Director, Bryan Tasaka. “I don’t think he realized that he missed it as he could have gone back out and found it with enough time to get back and claim a third place finish in the solo male category. We sure hope he’ll be back next year.” Team Island Chix, Amber Zirnhelt and Wendy Ravai of Campbell River, placed first in the team of two, female category, completing the 50 km Enduro course in 6:58:53. Campbell River’s team, Taking Care of Business, consisting of Jerry Loeb, Jim Proctor, Mattias Morrisson and Jeff Beselt, placed third in the team of four, male category, coming in at 6:58:33. Winning his ninth MOMAR title, Todd Nowack of Brentwood Bay came in first overall for the Enduro Course, crossing the
finish line at 4:52:02. Team Renegades of Gunk, Hayden Earle and Roger Macleod of Victoria, came in second overall and first in the team of two categories, with a time of 4:58:13. Jeremy Grasby of Cumberland was third overall coming in at 5:04:59. Cour tenay’s Genevieve Burdett was the first solo female racer to cross the finish line at 5:29:36, finishing an impressive fourth overall. With both the Enduro and Sport Courses combined, there was a total of 275 racers at the start line. Race stages included kayaking, mountain biking, trekking, bushwhacking and orienteering through 27 checkpoints on Comox Lake and Cumberland trails.

The Campbell River Peewee A minor hockey team got off to a promising start in Tiering Round competition this weekend. In Victoria on Saturday they came away with an 8-5 victory against Racquet Club. Tyler Dickson was impressive with two

led the scoring again with two goals and one assist. Todd Campbell scored two goals and Nolan Fair scored one goal and two assists. Damian Rennie made two assists and Lucas Lund assisted on one. Head coach Marc Ouellette and assistant coach Jim Dixon
Eagles’ valiant effort comes up short
e
t This past Sunday the -Pee Wee Eagles travelled toParksville to ytake on the Oceanside sLions. g The Eagles lost the coin toss giving Parks-ville control of the ball eto start the game. The rLions were driving eand looked like they nwere in good position -to score. However, the Eagles defense came oup big and were able to sstop the drive. It was snow the Eagle’s turn to stake the field. Lead by estarting quarterback -Isaac “Crash” Shillito they moved the ball -downfield with some g
very well executed runs up the middle and sweeps out wide. The first score of the day came on a beautifully run reverse by starting fullback Liam “Lights Out” Matilpi. Starting Running Back Kristian “Dash” Drake ran in the convert to put the score at Eagles 7 -0. However, on the pursuing set of downs, the Lions were able to reach the endzone on a nicely run sweep. A made convert tied the game at 7-7. The Eagles offense once again took the field and looked very
good moving the ball down field. QB Issaac Shillito put the Eagles back in front with a well executed fake reverse. A missed convert put the game at 13 to 7 for the Eagles. The Lions offense took to the field and a few plays (and a few missed tackles) later were able to punch it in for the score. A missed convert once again tied the game at 13-13. The Eagles started the second half with the ball. Unfortunately, their of fense was unable to get things going and gave up the
ball on a fumble. The Lions were able to come out and score putting them up 19-13. The Eagles made a valiant effort to come back but were just unable to get a drive going on offense. The final score ended up 19-13 for the Lions. “I am once again very impressed by the performance of these kids today,” says head coach Kevin Meier. The Pee Wee Eagles travel to Ladysmith this Saturday October 1st to tackle the Ladysmith Steelers. Game time is 11 a.m.
