Claire Trevena’s successful bid to retain her seat as North Island MLA cost her $70,087, according to Elections BC. But Trevena’s victory cost her $9,477.65 less than her closest opponent, Nick Facey of the BC Liberals,

whose total election expenditures were $79,564.65. Trevena also had more money to play with. Her total election income was $97,333. Facey’s was $62,211.48, leaving his war chest with a deficit of $17,353.17, according to Elections BC’s 2013 General Election Financing Report which is available online at http://contri-

Campbell River seniors may have finally found the perfect home – at least for now. The Seniors Society is proposing to set up a seniors’ centre split between two locations – the Sportsplex and the Community Centre. Both are city-owned buildings and representatives from the society were at the Aug. 13 council meeting to ask permission to use the facilities. “The Campbell River Seniors’ Centre Society would like to request that the council allow the society to use space in city-owned buildings rent free to facilitate the establishment of a seniors’ centre in Campbell River with the partnership of the city,” said Bruno Fornika, chair of the building committee which has spent several months trying to find a place for the seniors’ centre.

High-liner Benny Lagos, 99, had a sixth sense for the tide Paul Rudan Campbell RiveR miRRoR

he legend of skipper Benny Lagos runs in the tide now. For more than seven decades Lagos was one of the top performing skippers for the Canadian Fishing Company in a career that began in a rowboat and ended on a fully-powered seiner. On Monday, following a brief illness, Lagos died in Campbell River. He was 99. “He knew the tide and the water better than anyone I’ve ever seen. He had a sixth sense,” says Jim Lagos, a nephew who often worked for his great uncle aboard the 70-foot seiner Cape Knox. Born Jan. 11, 1914, in Vancouver, Lagos was the second of four children to Hjinio Lagos and Anita Johnston – and he was destined to become a great commercial fisherman. His father was a fisherman and so was his grandfather Rosalio who took the boy gillnetting up to Johnstone Strait when he was just eight or nine years old. The impression was everlasting on Lagos who would spend much of his life in the “straits” (Johnstone) fishing sockeye and “dog” (chum) salmon as well as fishing coast-wide for herring. He was among the top “high-liner” skippers year in and year out for the company and so many old photographs show his boats laden with prized sockeye and herring. On the 71st anniversary of his career with Canadian – he finally retired after 73 – the legendary Lagos was honoured by another highly-respected skipper, Ollie Chickite, the last owner of the historic BCP 45 fishing vessel. “As a salmon seiner and herring seiner he (Lagos) was one of the finest,” Chickite wrote on an engraving that

rotting catch. Lagos never starved, but there were some lean years. He would settle on Quadra Island where home was a cannery workers’ cabin during the off-season months and then a boat cabin during fishing season. Lagos often rowed to catch his dinner and regularly rowed across Discovery Passage to Campbell River to collect his pay cheques.

appears on the replica model of the Cape Knox, that is housed in the Maritime Heritage Centre alongside the BCP 45. Early Fishing Years Lagos moved around the Pacific Northwest as a youth and didn’t attend much school. He did learn fishing and went on his first seine trip with George Glendale, aboard the Glendale III, when he was 14 years old. It was 1928. Five years later, his first with Canadian Fishing Co., Lagos was in Rivers Inlet where he learned the nuances of tides, changing wind patterns and, most importantly, delivering your catch on time. Lagos was among several young-buck fishermen in wooden rowboats who were towed out in line to deeper waters by one of the bigger company power vessels. From there Lagos would peel off and then row, or put up sail, and head to his favoured fishing grounds. The company supplied nets that were set by hand and then it was up to Lagos to make sure he caught the tides, currents and winds to return to the

New Faces In 1932 he married the Scottish lass Jessie and together they raised two children, Ben Jr. and Ina. Jessie passed away in 1992 and Ben Jr. died in 2010. He was also a commercial fisherman. The couple enjoyed coming to Campbell River to bowl. On the fireplace mantle of Lagos’ home sits two trophies: one from 1951 for the Men’s High Single and the second from ‘52-’53 for the Campbell River Mixed 5 Pin Champs. Family was as important to Lagos as fishing, but duty to provide always came first. It pained him to be away from his wife during their anniversary – dog

salmon season – and when Jessie “had the nerve” to expect their second child during sockeye season, there was only one thing to do. He sent for Jessie, a few belongings and they came to Rivers Inlet. Ina was born in a Rivers Inlet cannery and laughs with gusto as she tells the story. In 1943, Lagos met a fellow skipper, Lloyd Vaughn. The two would become fast friends and lifetime workmates, as Vaughn served aboard Lagos’ vessels as a deckhand on sockeye and herring fisheries. One time, during the Second World War, Vaughn urged Lagos to sneak his vessel in the dark by the gunnery check point at Yorke Island in Johnstone Strait. But the ever-cauContinued on A4

tious skipper thought otherwise. But, after a bit of arm twisting, Lagos relented and they did make it by the regularly bored and often zelous military. However, on the way back – as the story goes – the gunners put a shot “across their bow” and that’s when Lagos immediateley turned around and signed in. The End of Fishing Vaughn died a few years ago, and by that time the true commercial fishing industry had

also passed in Lagos’ opinion. He was born and raised to be a high-liner who understood the intricacies of strong tides in specific locations, how to maneuver in these precarious spots and how to catch the prized sockeye runs that danced in those tides. Benny Lagos understood this and he also understood the best fishermen were rewarded. “There were times we would have half a boat load before anyone else started,” recalls Jim

Lagos. “Benny had such finesse.” He also had a cool and calm nature that served him well particularly in crises situations. “He was the first to come help and the last to leave,” says his grandson Wally Barber. “He was a true gentleman fishermen.” But he was also competitive and that ended for him with the wrapup of “derby” fishing, replaced by collective catches. The end was in sight by 2005, but Lagos decided to go with a crew of old hands for

one last run. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the best of seasons and the crew decided that was no way to send out an old sockeye fisherman. So, at that year’s skipper’s wrap-up dinner, the patriarch of skippers asked the owners of the Canadian Fishing Company for one last sockeye season aboard the Cape Knox, a boat he had run – and it was well-run by now – since the 1970s. Of course the owners had no choice but to say yes to 92-year-old

Benny Lagos, much to chagrin of fellow veteran skipper, and much younger, Gerry Roberts who reportedly groaned, “Now I’ve got even longer to wait to retire!” That year, 2006, was a fine sockeye season. Lagos and crew delivered their catch to Vancouver and then celebrated the night in style on the town. “He’s not a humpy (pink) fisherman – and that’s no slight to the guys who are – Benny Lagos was a sockeye fisherman,” says Jim Lagos who was aboard

North Island financing report contains some interesting details. For example, Facey’s financial sources were more varied than Trevena’s. Facey received $17,300 in campaign contributions from individuals and corporations while the BC Conservative Party pumped $44,661.48 into the North Island constituency association’s war chest. Trevena received a total of $18,487 in political contributions. As you would expect, zero of it was from corporations and only $1,097 of it was from individuals. Treve-

na’s biggest contributors were trade unions, which contributed $3,401, and “other identifiable contributions” (the N.I. NDP constituency association and others) which pumped $13,889 into the campaign coffers. Trevena was supported by her party to a more significant degree than Facey. The BC NDP gave Trevena $78,596. As for significant expenses, Trevena spent the biggest chunk of money on “promotional material” (signs, brochures, etc.) – $29,526. Facey spent $11,115.34. On media advertising, Trevena spent

Leigh wants the pressure to get to Area D residents

www.CampbellRiverMirror.com www.CampbellRiverMirror.com

Kristen Douglas CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

York Road area residents having problems with their water pressure can expect some improvements after Area D director Brenda Leigh resurrected the issue which had been put on the back burner. Strathcona Regional District staff had delayed moving forward with a booster pump station despite the board of directors approving the money for the project in this year’s budget. Russ Hotsenpiller, chief administrative officer of the regional district, said the project “was on hold” because the regional district was “looking at the implications of the proposed boundary exten-

Four-way O.K.

sion and what that would mean.” Hotsenpiller was referring to the City of Campbell River’s proposal to extend its southern boundary to annex 1,000 Area D residents from Jubilee Parkway south to Henry Road to provide their households with city sewer service. But Leigh said the households affected by the low water pressure are not a part of the area the city is considering. “This area that has been experiencing low water pressure for years is outside of the boundary extension implications,” Leigh said. “It’s south of that, so it has nothing to do with that.” L eig h note d t hat $335,000 had already been authorized by the

board earlier this year to be taken from Area D’s Gas Tax Funds to go towards the project. Leigh became aware of the hold up during staff ’s second quarter work plan presentation to the board July 25. “I don’t know why we’re not going ahead with it,” Leigh said at the July 25 meeting. “If we need a pump station and it’s in the budget, then I would like that acted upon. I want it to be spent on Area D constituents to get the pressures we need. We need that pump station. I don’t think staff has any reason not to implement what the board has already acted upon, and soon.” Two weeks later, at a board meeting Aug. 7, Leigh put forward a

motion to issue a Request for Proposals to find a contractor to build the booster pump station and use the $335,000 for the project. That motion was approved by the board. Leigh explained that the southern end of Area D, particularly York Road, is receiving well-under the required pressure. “We’re supposed to be delivering 80 pounds of pressure per square inch and I’ve talked this over with our CAO who said we’re down to 40 pounds and that’s not acceptable,” Leigh said. “The water has to go up the hill to up to 135 homes in the York Road subdivision, plus York Road. When you get to the end of the line, some people get nothing.”

Mayor Walter Jakeway said he’s received numerous compliments about the city’s new traffic pattern. The four-way stop controls an increase in

traffic on 10th Avenue created by the detour to accommodate the St. Ann’s road closure. “I’ve had lots of e-mails asking if we could make the four-way

stop on Shoppers Row a permanent fixture,” Jakeway said. “People trying to get in and out of Tyee Plaza and across the street from the other side find it really helpful.”

Our View

DFO response to illegal harvesting not good enough There have been stories written this summer about shellfish harvesting on the beaches of Vancouver Island. Some residents believe — and there’s no reason to doubt them — people are illegally harvesting shellfish, especially the huge and elusive geoduck. The federal Department of Fisheries We say: There’s and Oceans (DFO) suggests people call not even any help their toll-free line when they suspect illegal activity (1-800-465-4336). on DFO’s web We understand there are cutbacks and finding a conservation officer — either site provincial or federal — is no easy task. These few officers now have large regions to patrol and many duties.

Often, when a business or government agency can’t afford real people any longer, they ramp up their websites in an effort to partially fill the gap. The DFO website has a lot of information but it’s very difficult to navigate. We’re talking maps and layers and tables and overlays and, well, just finding where you can or cannot harvest shellfish is a half-day chore. And that’s if you’re web savvy. Unfortunately, the people who take what they want, in the amounts they want, with no regard for the species or sanitary closures or red tide warnings, don’t likely read rants like this or pay attention to websites or warnings. We hope their stories don’t end with sick or dead family members or friends, but that’s not out of the question.

Nor is the endangerment of certain shellfish species out of the question if this illegal harvesting continues. Relying on residents to tattle is no way to handle conservation. The DFO needs to do a much better job, for the sake of residents (aka the taxpayers who fund the department) and the species it is charged to protect. That means up-to-date signage at every beach access, an easier-to-navigate website and more on-the-ground staff (summer students from marine biology courses?) during the busy summer months. If federal officials bury their heads in the sand beside the geoducks on this issue, it may spell the end of a fun, educational and tasty part of life. – Black Press

A great citizen helps out

It was my birthday last week and I was given a great gift. My new girlfriend, Karen, arranged a stay at the Homfray Lodge, a new retreat with cabins a great dock and outstanding hosts. The weather in the gulf was a bit too windy for me to take my boat back to Pacific Playground. Arrangements were made to get us to the Powell River Ferry. I was dropped off with our gear and went to get tickets. I had plenty of money in the bank but nothing left on my cards and no cash. It was 10 minutes to sailing and I found out you cannot use debit, my cards didn’t work and with no cash, no hope to catch the Ferry. I was a little despondent. I knew we could not get to a cash machine and back before it sailed. This is where a great citizen of your town stepped in. She was travelling alone and without a thought she bought three tickets! She said “just pay it forward.” Really? I was too emotional to speak but said “thank you so much” and went back to get Karen, explain what happened and get down to the ferry. By then I had gathered my emotions and felt so blessed. Then here she was, our little angel,, we talked more and I realized I had about half of a Continued on 9

Pressure on the government for skills training

Tom Fletcher B.C. Views

Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk has offered some advice for students heading for post-secondary education this fall. In a commentary sent to B.C. newspapers, Virk reminded students that his task “is to ensure post-secondary students obtain the experience and qualifications needed to put a paycheque in their back pocket.” B.C. is forecast to have one million jobs to fill by 2020, through a combination of retirements and economic growth. More than 40 per cent of them will require trades and technical training, and for students, likely a move north. “My advice to students is to look at where the jobs are based and tailor their education and training to match,” Virk

wrote. “Our population is concentrated in the Lower Mainland and southern Vancouver Island, but as a resourcebased economy, many directly and indirectly related jobs are located elsewhere.” That’s not the only blunt message for students deciding on a career. While defending his ministry’s spending plans in the recent legislature session, Virk described some of the problems that are entrenched. Parents, particularly in immigrant communities, push their children towards medicine, law, dentistry or engineering, he noted. Students themselves gravitate toward areas that are familiar to them, such as teaching. B.C. universities graduated 2,000 new teachers last year. Another 850 arrived

from out of province and were licensed to teach in B.C. During the same year, the B.C. school system hired 800 teachers. And many of those jobs were outside metropolitan areas. It’s been hammered into us by the B.C. government’s endless “jobs plan” advertising, and a similar campaign by Ottawa, that more students need to focus on trades and resource industries. Virk acknowledges that his budget contains another $1 million for advertising, the same as last year, much of it to reinforce the need to fill skilled jobs. But he danced around the question of whether there will be spaces in technical programs. NDP critics say the waiting list for these kinds of programs at Kwantlen

University and B.C. Institute of Technology are running between a year and three years. And they have frequently noted that advanced education spending is budgeted to decline by $42 million over the next three years. Virk said post-secondary institutions working with industry have produced 456 additional seats in high-demand programs for this year. It’s a start. In July, Premier Christy Clark joined the chorus of premiers protesting Ottawa’s plan to claw back $300 million in federal training money to provinces, for its new employer-driven Canada Jobs Grant. Clark and New Brunswick Premier David Alward were assigned to find an alternative to this drastic shift

but it’s one room and a smaller space with no access to a kitchen. The Sportsplex on the other hand has two rooms available and a kitchen with a community dishwasher. Coun. Andy Adams said he was pleased to see city staff work with the seniors society, which has searched high and low for a suitable building, to try and find a solution. “I want to applaud your society in its collaboration with city staff in finding an interim solution until you’re able to obtain the desired longterm goal,” Adams said. Adams made a motion, which was approved by council, to have staff report back on the rami-

Campbell River Common Mall rent-free but the seniors were forced to move when the landlord needed the space. Since June, the seniors have been located at Radiant Life church, behind the downtown fire hall and next to Coast Realty, but hours are limited and it’s only a temporary shelter. Fornika said the seniors have been assured by city staff that the Sportsplex is available Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m., Thursdays and Fridays from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. and Mondays from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. The Community Centre is available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.

fications of allowing the seniors rent-free use of the two city facilities. Coun. Claire Moglove, before voting in favour of the motion, wanted to ensure the report could come back to council within two weeks so it would not hold up the seniors. “I absolutely applaud the concept, I just need to know, as a councillor, what the ramifications are,” Moglove said. “Whether there’s revenue lost, or what that means. I wouldn’t want to postpone it. The sooner we can get this done, the better.” City staff said they would be able to have the report back to council by its next meeting which is this Tuesday, Aug. 27.

Fletcher: Student loans under review Continued from 8

and report back in the fall. As usual, the NDP spent lots of time grilling Virk about student debt and the alleged need to reduce it. Ministry statistics show that about 30 per cent of students take out loans from the federal-provincial program, and the average is $20,000. One of the latest changes is a program of grants that go toward student debt as a reward for those who complete their chosen program. With 23,000 students collecting $41 million in grants, it might be working. For all the fuss about student debt, students pay only about a third of costs. The rest is on taxpayers, whether it produces any useful education or not. Virk is under instructions to review the student loan program “to find further improvements to meet students’ needs.” Given the magnitude of the gap between what skills our education system produces and what the economy needs, a larger shift in priorities is needed.

BBQ at Linda’s thanks to Coke and Save-On Kristen Douglas

Campbell RiveR miRRoR

ampbell River resident Linda Young has all

the luck. Young was selected as the lucky winner of a barbecue for up to 40 of her close friends and family in Coca-Cola’s Summer BBQ Bash. Young entered the Coke-sponsored contest while at Campbell River’s Save-On-Foods on a whim. “There was a ballot box in the store and I entered,” Young said.

Her prize is a barbecue with $20,000 worth of food and beverages from Overwaitea Food Group. She plans to hold her barbecue in September at Miracle Beach. Young was chosen from among participants from all over B.C. and Alberta. But that shouldn’t come as a surprise. When it comes to contests, Young has the luck of the Irish. Just over five years ago, Young won a $5,000 sailing trip down the Strait of Georgia, courtesy of Two Oceans

Winery. At that time, Young and her husband Jim were celebrating their wedding anniversary at the Royal Coachman Neighbourhood Pub and stopped by the pub’s liquor store. There, she filled out an entry form for the sailing trip and two months later, Young was informed she had won. The couple, who enter contests all the time, have also won a beach umbrella from Bud Lite, a cooler, a bike and a Canucks jersey, among other smaller prizes.

Raft Cove reopens

Visitors can again enjoy the beauty of Raft Cove Provincial Park, located on the northwest coast of Vancouver Island. In consultation with other agencies, BC Parks made the decision to close the park Aug. 10, following the increase of visitors for the World

Rainbow Gathering. The anticipated increase in visitors raised concerns over public health and safety, the protection of the natural environment and the preservation of park values. Members of the Rainbow group concluded that Raft Cove Provin-

cial Park was not the right location for their event and worked with BC Parks to clean up the site before they departed. A site assessment was completed and the park is now open. For more information about BC Parks, visit: www.bcparks.ca

enthusiastically. It was also on the same plug, a special lure made by the late Brian Isfeld, a friend to both Grant and Duncan. “It’s caught 10 Tyees!” the MP boasted. Grant wasn’t sure the second would qualify, but it just weighed in a titch over 30 pounds and Duncan was on the board with back-to-back Tyees in the club record book which dates back to 1924.

MP John Duncan, left, poses with his 30 pound Tyee he caught Saturday morning while being rowed by Roy Grant, right, in the Tyee Pool.

Figuring to strike again while “the iron is hot” Grant, Duncan and Tim Daniels set out at first light Saturday.

It didn’t take long before Duncan’s rod tip bent over again. After a fairly easy 15-minute tugo-war, the politician had

his second large chinook in the rowboat. “Same rod, same side of the boat, same everything,” Duncan said

Did You Know... AWG Management Disability Benefits are available for injured Homemakers? If you are a homemaker who takes care of your household, ICBC 3x4 may pay you up to $145 per week to cover homemaker expenses. To be eligible, your injury must substantially or continuously stop you from “regularly performing most of the household tasks”. This coverage pays for you to hire someone to come into your home to clean. Although the law states that coverage will not pay for a family member to do the work, the Court has ruled that as long as your family member did not reside with you before the accident and comes specifically to help because of the accident, ICBC must pay.

What’s harder, getting elected or becoming a member of the Tyee Club? Better ask John Duncan. After years of angling, the veteran North Island MP finally earned his Tyee pin, not once, but twice in a span of 12 hours. “I got a shiner at the Friday night fights,” Duncan joked just after landing his second big chinook. The party whip could barely contain a lessthan-conservative grin after registering back-toback salmon in Campbell River’s world-famous Tyee Pool. They’re not his first “shiners,” but both were club qualifiers weighing in at 34 and 30 pounds respectively; you can only become a club member by catching a salmon more than 30 pounds, on a single barbless hook, using 20-pound test line or less, and from a rowboat. “I’ve fished quite a few years in there...the best was only 27,” he said as he shook hands at the Howie Meeker Golf Classic. That changed Friday night in what has been a very good year in the waters just off the Tyee Spit. Rowed by realtor and former city councillor Roy Grant, Duncan was joined by his wife Donna Richardson when he hooked into a fairly big fish around 8:25 p.m. Half an hour later, the 34-pounder was in the boat. “A good fight,” he said with a nod. It was the last Tyee of the day and one of seven registered that day at the club.

Donates funds for Campbell River Hospital mammography monitors

n recognition of its 10th anniversary, River Spirit dragon boat team recently made a donation to the Campbell River Hospital Foundation. The funds have been tagged to go toward the purchase of High Definition Digital Mammography Monitors for the medical imaging department. “Recently, the Campbell River Hospital

successfully recruited a radiologist with screening mammography experience to join the Campbell River Radiologist group,” said Stacey Marsh, executive director of the Campbell River Hospital Foundation. “With the addition of the monitors and the new radiologist, interpretations will now be done here in Campbell River. “We believe that this is

an important new service and hope that it will help encourage women to have these screening exams when they know that their exam is being interpreted here at home.” River Spirit team members were on hand to present a cheque to the Campbell River Hospital Foundation and received a tour and explanation of how the monitors work from Doctor Corr. “As well as celebrating our first 10 years, we would also like to

recognize the founding members of the team and acknowledge the incredible support the community continues to give us,” said president, Val Larson. The ladies also made a visit to the surgical floor to deliver support pillows for breast surgery patients and squeeze balls to assist in their rehabilitation. The pillows and balls were made by the team at a recent work bee and will be provided to the hospital as needed on an ongoing basis.

hen the project was proposed to City Council last year, the Discovery Passage SeaLife Society (DPSS) projected 10,000 visitors per season. President of the DPSS Mark Wunsch happily announced reaching that goal just two months since opening on Ocean’s Day, June 8. “We are so pleased the Aquarium has created quite a buzz and attracted so many visitors to our downtown. In just two months, we have had as many visitors as we expected to come in a full fourmonth season,” Wunsch says. “The responses that we have received have been ultimately positive and encourage us to keep building community around the aquarium. And for the remaining season we still have a few surprises to come. ” The strong admission numbers will help towards financial stability for the young nonprofit society. “As any public venue, we need to have funds on hand for running costs, maintenance and hiring core staff for the next season,” says Society Treasurer Iris Wunsch. “Income from admissions and our sponsorship programs will allow us to keep a balanced budget. If this support continues we will be able to keep subsidizing school visits and expand our programming.” The recently-acquired charitable status of the aquarium should make it especially interesting for supporters as they are able to receive tax receipts for their donations. The society recognized its sponsors at a Sponsor Appreciation night in July. “For me, the most amazing learning experience of this project was

that this community has so many generous people willing to share their skills and assets to create a special place,” says Society director Sandra Milligan. “Businesses and residents provided all kinds of help to set-up the building including professional services, equipment, supplies, cash donations, and hundreds of volunteer hours. That community commitment continued after Opening Day with volunteers of all ages working with visitors at the Aquarium.” “The visitors have been as varied as the critters at the Aquarium,” says Aquarium Manager Deb Cowper. “Out of town visitors, like the Harrington family, come from across Canada and the U.S. European visitors appear almost daily, and then we have our local families who have purchased season’s passes and visit sometimes multiple times per week.” The end of September will mark the end of the season and all the critters will be released back into the ocean.

Aquarium if you haven’t done it yet. Aquarium employee Kate Dixon describes some of the highlights of working in the Aquarium: “I just love the excitement of our visitors: the kids – and adults – are always enthralled with what they see and touch. For me, it is great to be learning so much and sharing that knowledge with everyone.” Volunteer Pat Carpenter says, “I still cannot believe that all this lives right here, just under the surface, locally. “Visitors come in and

say that too, all the time. The aquarium is a real asset to this community and I love volunteering and learning here.” Highlights for the visitors over the season include the new displays, but exciting things happen in our tanks on a daily basis. New animals like tiny fish, sea slugs, urchins, and sea stars come in with the ocean water.

DEATHS

Marjorie Louise Smedemark (nee Johnson ) April, 1930 August, 2013

4&-- :063 $"3 '"45 XJUI B DMBTTJmFE BE

Beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend, Louise passed from this life to the next on August 17, 2013. She was predeceased by her husband, Viggo of Lihme, Denmark and survived by her daughters Anita (Richard) Dougherty of Prince George and Marianne Currie (Paul) of Campbell River as well as her dear grandchildren Christian, William, Alexa and Olivia. She was so proud to have seen them all graduate! She also leaves her beloved sisters Evelyn (Russ) Bowers of Cumberland and Phyllis Johnson (David) of Harare, Zimbabwe, her older brother John (Rose) of North Battleford, Saskatchewan, niece Judy Lanyon (Jody) of Courtney and special friend Charlotte Hayman, who was among those with Mom at the end. There are also many other loved and devoted nieces and nephews missing her, as well as her devoted silky white dog, Chobe. She began her career as a teacher in a one-room schoolhouse called Deer Run near Turtle Lake, Saskatchewan and retired from teaching as an elementary school principal at Pineridge Elementary in Kamloops, B.C. She also spent time working with Simon Fraser University and Cariboo College as a faculty advisor to teachers in training. Her work with the P.E.O Sisterhood was pivotal in her life (LIPEO) as was her work in the Campbell River soup kitchen and her relationship with her church family at St. Peters Anglican Church. Her dear friends are too numerous to mention. You know who you are. She cherished each of you. Her friendships extend from her early life in Saskatchewan, to Gunnar Mines, Saskatchewan where she met Viggo, to Kamloops and Campbell River. She made countless meaningful connections with people and was a teacher and helper to the end. An adventurer in spirit, connected to the land through her prairie origins, she always knew the backroads. Special thanks to Dr. Larry Ness. Mom adored you. Thank you also to the nurses and caregivers at the Campbell River hospital, with special thanks to Sharon who made two very difficult days better for us with her caring heart. We extend our sympathies to her dear friends and relations. Your loss will be deeply felt. Funeral services will be held at 2:00 on Friday, August 23 at St. Peters Anglican church. in lieu of flowers please make a donation to the PEO Sisterhood Chapter AZ of Campbell River who work to help women further themselves as our mom was able to do.

New liquor store gets go ahead from council Kristen Douglas CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A proposed apartment building with a liquor store below was given the go ahead by council last week after the architect’s gamble paid off. At the last council meeting July 23 Miles, seeing councillors Andy Adams and Claire Moglove were absent, asked council to delay voting on the project. Miles knew that Mayor Walter Jakeway and councillors Ron Kerr and Larry Samson had voted against the re-zoning of

the property a month prior to accommodate the development. But with Adams and Moglove present at last Tuesday’s meeting, that gave council the numbers to approve the 20-unit, five-storey building for 1054 S. Island Highway. Jakeway, Kerr and Samson again voted opposed. Jakeway was concerned about the steep slope that runs parallel to the Island Highway. The development is proposed to lie at the foot of the slope and cut marginally into the toe of the slope in one location.

“I will not be in favour of cutting into the hillside anywhere on that slope,” Jakeway said. “My concerns is whatever you do to a slope it starts to move.” But project architect Curtis Miles said a geotechnical survey was done on the property and he was given the goahead. The geotechnical report concludes that the development can be safely located in the proposed location, with foundation-bearing conditions present. Miles noted that the project

also complies with the city’s Sustainable Official Community Plan’s slope hazard guidelines. To help beautify the property, Miles said the plan is to develop the back of the lot into a grotto, with the building nestling into the hill. There will be two entrances to the residential portion of the building – one to the front and one at the back. Because of the size of the lot, there is not enough room for residential parking on the same lot as the building. While liquor store

parking will be located in front of the building, apartment parking will be on the neighbouring Big Rock Motel property, which is owned by the same developer. Miles said the plan is to put in new fencing and landscaping on the motel site to separate the cars from the highway and make it look more like a residential parking lot. “We really do believe this project makes good use of the natural topography,” Miles said. “It blends the residential and commercial units quite well.”

We were exposed to many ideas during training at the RCMP’s Depot Division in Regina. A lecture that I do recall was presented by a pyschologist who taught us about transactional analysis. One of the life positions we learned about, I’m OK and you are not OK, seems to be common on our highways.

Chevy Chevy Derive Derive Safe Safe A person with that outlook is saying that 2x14 2x14 I feel good about myself but I see others as damaged or less than [myself] and it is usually not healthy. Perhaps this mindset is one of the reasons that drivers disobey the traffic rules and fail to exercise courtesy to other road users. If we could move to the I’m OK, you are OK state not only would we be more healthy mentally, highway use would be a safer, more pleasant experience.

Sometimes I find it difficult stay on track when I am presented with some particularly ill considered and selfish driving behaviour or I’m in a hurry. I find that it helps to remind myself that I am only lowering myself to their standard if I judge them to be not OK or start setting my own rules when it’s convenient. I’m not always successful but I try. I hope you will too. Pass it on. The author is a retired constable with many years of traffic law enforcement experience.

I’m OK and You Are Not OK

Communication between road users that leads to co-operation or sharing the road is an important skill that was not taught to me explicitly when I was first learning to drive. Today this concept takes up an entire chapter in ICBC’s Learn to Drive Smart manual and is a key point during in car driving lessons. When all parties communicate fully, we can arrive at an accommodation rather than a confrontation or conflict.

Blue moon of Campbell River

Weather conditions were perfect for watching the blue moon (the third full moon in a four full moon season) on Tuesday night. Vicki Jensen sent us this beautiful shot (left) of the moon over northern Georgia Strait and Kyla Dimitrov sent us this cool picture (right).

Youths leave electronics behind and recreate pioneer trek

base to establish itself worldwide, including on Vancouver Island and the rest of British Columbia. The quadrennial youth Pioneer Trek was started as a way to help the youth experience the outdoors, facing physical and mental challenges along the way, Slobodan said. “We hope that they can gain confidence, make new friends, and learn to work together as a group,” he said. The trek involves seven families of about 10 youths and two adult “Ma’s and Pa’s” (married couples who volunteer to take on the roles of the groups’ parents) who push and pull a handcart for 39.2 kilometres over four days along the back roads of the Alberni Valley. Along the way they cross creeks, climb hills, endure heat and dust and even cross a raised train bed that, coming on the last day of the trek, must have felt like climbing a mountain. “We want you to learn how strong you are,” Nanaimo Stake President Collin Van Horne told the youths. “We want you to understand what you’re capable of… and that’s anything!” On the second night they arrive at a local farm where they stayed for two nights, spending the next day participating in traditional competitions like sack races, stilt walking, caber tossing, hay bale stacking, two-handed sawing, and, of course, cart racing. A special part of the in-camp day involved a Pony Express delivery on horseback of letters to the youths from their real families. They then spent some time reading the letters, writing in journals and reflecting quietly. The evening was spent at a hoedown involving traditional 19th Century style dances and singing. On the fourth day, the handcarts were packed up again and the families set off down the Log Train Trail for the last 12 km of the trek to the Mclean Saw Mill National Historic Site where, exhausted, they climbed aboard the

Alberni Pacific steam train for a well-deserved ride back into Port Alberni and their awaiting families. The trek sends the message to the youths that they are able to accomplish great things if they set their minds to it. They also learn to work as a team and get along with others. The sacrifice the church’s pioneers made to establish their religion is also brought home to the youths in a tangible way. “We hope they gain an appreciation of the sacrifice that the Mormon

pioneers made as they migrated to the Great Salt Lake Valley,” Slobodan said. “The Church as a whole cares deeply about the youth. We feel that an experience like Trek will strengthen and educate them in their cultural history. If the youth are strong and faithful, the church obviously benefits by having future leaders and dedicated members. The church also emphasizes the need for people to be helpful, contributing members of society and the Trek experience promotes that idea.”

Local youths were part of a 70-person event that recreated the Mormon exodus across the American plains, teaching the youngsters about service, sacrifice and facing physical challenges.

Campbell River Hospital temporary traffic pattern changes

5x8.5 5x8.5 VIHA VIHA The work is related to construction of a new temporary Ambulance PROCESS PROCESS Access Route to the existing hospital Emergency Department entrance. Site work to prepare for the new $266 million, 95-bed Campbell River Hospital will lead to some traffic disruption around the existing Campbell River Hospital entrance on 2nd Avenue in the days ahead.

The laneway between the two parking lots at the Campbell River Hospital entrance will be closed to traffic from Monday August 26th to Wednesday August 28th to permit the installation of two manholes and piping, part of the perimeter drainage system for the new Ambulance Access Route. The brief laneway closure will require motorists to turn around and exit through the same entrance they’ve entered. During this period motorists will also be encouraged to enter and exit the western parking lot through the regular parking lot exit. Traffic control flag persons will be on hand to assist. The new temporary Ambulance Access Route is required because construction of the new hospital next year will block the present ambulance route to and from the present Emergency entrance. Please watch for additional temporary traffic changes in the weeks to come.

West parking lot

art wheels rumble, the sun beats down and occasionally metal plates or cups clank and rattle as they fall onto the ground. Young members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints wipe sweat from their brows and fan their faces with wide-brimmed hats as a break is called. The walkers – dressed in 19th Century clothing styles – crowd around water jugs seeking solace from the hot summer sun and the kilometres of road they have traversed. For four days, two Campbell River youths and 70 other Vancouver Island teenagers re-enacted one of the epic pioneer journeys of North American history. Youth members of the LDS Church aged 12-18 from six Vancouver Island wards (congregations) walked for 39.2 kilometres along logging roads and trails near Port Alberni pulling all their camping gear in two-wheeled handcarts. “If we don’t do things that are tough, we won’t know what tough is,” Trail Boss Harry Slobodan told the youths at an assembly after the first day of walking. Slobodan is a Nanaimo resident and a leader in the LDS Church’s Nanaimo Stake presidency which includes the congregations on Vancouver Island from Duncan to Port Hardy and Powell River. The Pioneer Trek is held every four years to commemorate the Latter-day Saints’ exodus from Illinois across the American plains to the Salt Lake Valley in Utah to escape religious persecution and establish a community in the wilderness in the 1850s and 60s. The original handcart pioneers were following the plan of then-church President Brigham Young who had decided to switch from travelling in wagon trains and have the LDS migrants walk across the plains with carts pulled by hand because it was quicker and less costly. The church has since grown from its Utah
