Councillor’s participation may face court challenge, mayor says Kristen Douglas Campbell RiveR miRRoR

Mayor Walter Jakeway served noticed at Tuesday’s council meeting that a group of citizens may legally challenge Coun. Ryan Mennie finishing out his council term from Alberta. Jakeway said a group of concerned residents may be advancing the challenge. “There may be a legal challenge for the whole arrangement of the remote situation that we have tonight as we’re heading into the future,” Jakeway said. “Everybody should be on notice we may have a legal challenge in the future.” Mennie participated in Tuesday’s council meeting via Skype. Mennie said he Skyped with his iPad and followed along with the live broadcast of the meeting on the city’s website using his laptop. “The Skype session worked very well for me,” Mennie said. “Other than my larger than life presence on the screen, it was like I was in the room and had no problem hearing or participating in the discussion.” He said that following the regular council meeting, he also participated in the in-camera session of the meeting by phone in the committee room.

During the council meeting, Mennie’s image was projected on council’s overhead screen. During presentations from the public, Mennie’s profile was shrunken to a small square at the bottom right corner of the screen. Realizing it may be distracting, Mennie said he shut off his iPad during the presentations, which resulted in people in council chambers seeing a black screen. Despite the black out, Mennie said he was still listening to the live streaming. But not ever yone agrees with what Mennie is doing. Several residents have

signed a petition in protest. The petition states that the residents believe “Councillor Mennie is abusing a provision in a city bylaw, to remain as a paid member of the Campbell River city council and represent the desire of these same citizens (and) to have Councillor Ryan Mennie resign his seat as a member of council, in the best interest of Campbell River taxpayers.” The Community Charter states that “a member of council or a council committee who is unable to attend a council meeting or a council committee meeting, as applicable, may participate in

the meeting by means of electronic or other communication facilities.” But the residents who have signed the petition say they believe that section is set aside for council members who still reside in the community but are unable to attend meetings due to illness, work or other circumstances beyond their control. R e s i d e nt D ar ly n e Shane is concerned Mennie is violating another section of the Community Charter as well. One that states, “a person elected or appointed to office on a council is disqualified from hold-

ing that office if any of the following applies: b) the person is absent from council meetings for a period of 60 consecutive days or 4 consecutive regularly scheduled council meetings, whichever is the longer time period, unless the absence is because of illness or injury or is with the leave of council.” City Clerk Peter Wipper, in an e-mailed response to Shane, said that while it is true councillors can be disqualified for missing four consecutive meetings, a section of the Community Charter clarifies that members are deemed to be present

if they are participating electronically. While Mennie has vowed to attend the remaining council meetings between now and November’s municipal election, he has stepped down from the Strathcona Regional District board and the city’s Advisory Planning and Environment Commission. Mennie said he will be back in Campbell River this weekend to cut the ribbon for the grand opening of Centennial Park’s new natural playscape on Saturday and will be speaking as acting mayor.

in 2011 and 2012, we did not expect another filming opportunity from them this soon, as their normal cycle is, film two consecutive years then film other competitions for three or four years before returning,” wrote organizers Philip Hicks, Dave MacLeod, and Jim Lilburn. “Given this, we did not budget for the required filming crew costs that the festival

Salmon Festival organizers got a nice surprise recently. TSN crews will return to C ampb ell River sooner than expected to film the festival’s Logger Sports competition. While it was welcome news, it was also unexpected. “Since we were filmed

must cover to be filmed.” Those costs include return airfare from Toronto to Campbell River, local transportation and accommodation. The festival already had donations totalling $3,600 but it wasn’t enough to cover the $5,000 flight from Toronto to Vancouver and return. That opened the door for the city to step in.

Council, at its meeting June 10, decided to give the festival the remaining $5,000 it was looking for. Coun. Andy Adams said the money is more than worth the exposure the city will get in return. Each of the three episodes will air this fall, once on TSN and twice on TSN2, and then again in the spring of 2015, again once on TSN and twice on TSN2.

signed opposition form to city hall. Electors will have until July 21 by 4 p.m. to object. If the project goes ahead, it will cost Campbell River taxpayers an extra $24 a year in user fees for the next 20 years, in order to pay off a $3.9 million project debt. Area D residents would be expected to pay $9,300, either in one lump sum or over the course of 20 years, likely starting in 2015. They would have five years to connect to the city’s sewer system and pay an additional $1,800 connection fee. A third cost would be to connect their home to the sewer line, an amount that would vary from home to home. Tomorrow’s vote brings to an end months of frustration from many Area D residents who have repeatedly asked the city to leave them alone, have shown no interest in joining the city and have

protested the city’s proposal by putting up signs in Area D that encourage residents to vote ‘no’. Leigh said everyone is ready to see it come to an end. “All of our Area D community is looking forward to this process concluding. Once this is over, I am hopeful that we can move on to enjoying our beautiful rural summer in gorgeous Area D,” Leigh said. “I would like to express the gratitude of my community to Minister Coralee Oakes, who was determined to offer a democratic vote to our rural citizens. I would also like to thank her for appointing Lynn Ketch as Chief Electoral Officer. Ms. Ketch and her team offered my Area residents a peoplefriendly, professionallyconducted opportunity to vote.” Voting takes place tomorrow at Ocean Grove Elementary, 3773 McLelan Rd.

set up for each blast to measure and ensure the vibration levels will not be exceeded.” City clerk Peter Wipper said staff do not have a problem with amending the blasting bylaw to accommodate round the clock blasting because, other than the entrance and exit to the tunnel, all blasting will occur underground and shouldn’t be heard. The city will also alter its construction noise regulations, which permit construction noise from 7 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday to Saturday and from 8 a.m.-10 p.m. on Sundays and statutory holidays. Excavated material from the underground tunnel will need to be loaded and removed from the site 24/7, so Marshall has requested the variance from council at Tuesday’s council meeting. “Rock will be hauled both dayshift and nightshift,” Marshall said. “It is anticipated that there

The city will vary its blasting bylaw to allow construction 24 hours a day, seven days a week as part of the John Hart G e ne r at i ng St at i on upgrade project. Aecon SNC-Lavalin – under contract by BC Hydro – needs to blast day and night in order to complete a new tunnel to the new underground generating station. Project manager Scott Marshall said the blasts will not affect residents who live in the vicinity. “As the majority of work is underground and also over two kilometres from the nearest dwelling, noise from our blasting operation will not be a problem,” Marshall said. “BC Hydro has placed very stringent vibration criteria on adjacent structures closer to the blast area than the existing city of Campbell River infrastructure. Seismographs will be

will be between six to eight trucks per hour on both shifts that will leave the general site.” The trucks will leave from the city’s water treatment facility off Hwy. 28 and will use Hwy. 19 and Hwy. 28 to access two material drop-off sites, one north at Middle Point and the other – a gravel pit off of Willis Road. Wipper said heavy equipment and dump trucks being loaded will generate noise but the impact will be limited. “This noise will continue 24/7 and although this noise will impact the city’s water treatment facility there will

be no impact on residential areas,” Wipper said. “There are residential properties situated along Highway 28, staff conducted an assessment of existing night-time traffic along that road. Representatives of (the) mine at Myra Falls reported that their operation generates approximately 40 vehicle trips between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. Staff do not believe that the dump trucks hauling will generate higher levels of noise so long as the drivers do not use engine brakes.” Blasting and hauling is expected to take place between July 15 and Oct. 1.

Our View

Look for the bear necessities of life Bears are just doing what comes naturally when they wander out of the woods and into a residential neighbourhood. We say: We all The entire region is their native habitat and they don’t worry about have to learn to limits signs. live with bears in town So when they are in a yard and come across garbage cans, they are going to this province do what comes naturally — chow down. Bears are always hungry, especially in the spring as they come out of hibernation, and in the fall when they are building up fat levels for hibernation.

It doesn’t take long for a bear to realize that garbage is an easy source of food. And it is that addiction that brings bears into potential conflict with the human residents of those neighbourhoods. Ultimately, it is the bears who lose because they are destroyed. But given that bears act purely on instinct, the only solution is for B.C. residents to change their habits. Keep your garbage can in a secure location, and while you are at it, pull down the bird feeders because the birds don’t need the food in the summer and the seed draws bears. Clean up fruit as it begins to ripen and monitor

your compost. It’s been suggested several times that bears creating a possible conflict be trapped and relocated to the woods. However, biologists will tell you that once the animal is addicted to garbage, they will walk for several kilometres to the nearest neighbourhood so they can indulge. Eating garbage is ultimately a death sentence for bears. With bear complaints rising in some areas, now is the time for residents to become more aware of their natural surroundings and how to live with their four-legged neighbours. - Black Press

Letters

Dogs and good friends required in bear country Last week, when walking with my dog along the Beaver Lodge main trail, coming out onto Trask Road, what did I see but a black bear ambling up the road toward us. I stood and waited for a few moments hoping the bear would decide to hop up to the underbrush and take another route to wherever she/he was going. It didn’t. There is one house there that has two dogs and I walked into their yard, hoping that either someone was home, or maybe the dogs would bark and scare off the bear. Predictably, the dogs barked. They did their job – well done. Just then a group of ladies walked by, also leaving the trails, so I told them of the bear and we all looked up the road – no bear, so apparently it had left. Many thanks to Margo who very kindly gave myself and my dog a ride up to McPhedran. Nature is beautiful, but bears are best viewed from a distance!

Few things rival the World Cup for shenanigans

Alistair Taylor

Out On A Limb @AlstrT

editor@campbellrivermirror.com

Just when I feel a little embarrassed by the shenanigans of hockey players, the craziness of the NHL and our obsession with pro hockey, along comes the world of soccer – sorry, football – to put us in our place. Yes, The Beautiful Game makes the National Hockey League look like the small potatoes it is. With the World Cup currently underway on television screens around the globe, even North Americans get wrapped up in the spectacle that is the biggest sporting event on the planet – yes, it’s even bigger than the Olympics, which is no amateur when it comes to staging a head-shaking spectacle of whining, cheating and generally embarrassing behaviour in the name of sport. North America is the last holdout in

football’s sporting hegemony. Now that North America has taken the ball and run with it – sorry, I couldn’t resist an ironic metaphor for the North American version of “football” – soccer has indeed conquered the world. The game has been popular in the U.S. and Canada for a long time and more kids play soccer in Canada than play hockey. Soccer has always been a part of my life, being an immigrant from the country where partisanship is so ingrained that it sends three teams to contest the great football prize, even though none of them appear in any danger of winning it. Of course, now being Canadian, it doesn’t appear as if we’ll be attending the big dance any time soon either. This is supposed to feel significant for some

reason. But such is the World Cup that it stirs national pride and exhorts people to unite and sing the glory of their team at the top of their lungs in a stadium far, far away. And if you can’t be at the stadium, you can always put on your national team’s colours and plunk yourself down on your living room couch and watch it on the telly. Or, if you’re feeling tribal – and such behavior is encouraged – head down to a local pub with others whose grandparents came from some country somewhere else and cheer on a team whose players’ names you can barely pronounce. Ah, the World Cup where diving, acting, whining and, yes, biting, are all part of the spectacle. And that’s just at the FIFA meetings. Okay, sorry, that last one

was a joke. I don’t know if those things happen in a FIFA meeting but I do know that FIFA is the only organization that can teach the International Olympic Committee a thing or two about political intrigue. Yes, FIFA is the organization that decided hosting a World Cup in the middle of summer in the one of the hottest deserts in the world is a good idea. But despite all the craziness, one thing that transcends it all is the simple beauty of the game and the passion of the fans who suspend belief for a month every four years and celebrate pure athleticism and cunning strategy. Like all sports, at the heart of it all is a child’s game that still elevates the human spirit to a level of shared joy. Unfortunately, childish behaviour surfaces a little too often.

‘Dirty dirt’ treatment plant proposed Reporter

More studies and time required, says council Paul Rudan Campbell RiveR miRRoR

The Campbell River Environmental Council wants to see more studies before approval is given for a proposed contaminated soil treatment facility near McIvor Lake. Upland Excavating wants to build an 18,100 square foot facility that would be housed under a dome in order to remediate “dirty dirt,” up to 50,000 cubic metres. The company says there’s a there’s a need for such a facility due to limited locations on Vancou-

ver Island to remediate hydrocarbon contaminated soil. But f i rst Upl and requires approval from the Ministry of Environment and has filed a 64-page technical report prepared by consultants Terrawest Environmental Inc. The report was issued June 6 and provides the public with 30 days to make comments to the ministry. That’s not enough time, according to the local environmental council, which wants to first see detailed hydrology and geotechnical studies. “My question is, where does the groundwater go?” council president Leona Adams told the Mirror. “People who are wells and the people of Campbell River need to know about this – this is their drinking water.” In a letter from the

council to the City of Campbell River, Adams further outlined their concerns for the facility proposed for 7311 Gold River Hwy.: “These lands and the entire contaminated soil remediation activities are situated on top of a large aquifer which is on the south, east and north shore of McIvor Lake. McIvor lake is part of Lower Campbell Lake and connects to John Hart Lake, which is the source of Campbell River’s drinking water… (we are) concerned over the potentially severe impact of the proposed contaminated storage and treatment facility on the quality of our drinking water.” According to the Terrawest technical report, “The design, construction and operation of the facility meet or

exceed the requirements detailed with the Ministry of Environment protocol.” The report outlines how Upland intends to capture any runoff waters at the lowest point using one sump pump. But Adams wonders if that will be good enough, pointing out that the Quinsam Coal mine uses two sump pumps at its site and that’s sometimes not quite enough to collect all the runoff. “And where will the effluent be treated?” she asked. Adams is hopeful the period for public response can be extended at least until further studies are available. As it stands, the deadline is July 5. “The deadline should be extended,” said city councillor Larry Samson. “I don’t even know if the residents living around

McIvor Lake have been consulted or are even aware about this.” Samson said the issue was raised at a recent committee of the whole meeting and he’s further spoken to Environment Ministry representatives about the concerns raised by the local environmental council. He also wanted to clarify whether Upland has the proper zoning to be build a contaminated soil treatment facility. “City staff indicate they do have the proper zoning – but it’s not clear,” he said. “There are questions to be asked about the amount of soil to be treated, where is it coming from, and the proximity to our watershed and the Quinsam River?” Upland manager Mike Stuart was not available for comment at press time.

Hershey’s track meet a sweet success L ast Tues day the Campbell River Track and Field Club hosted its first Hershey’s Track Meet. This free community event was attended by more than 35 children aged 9-14 years. Each child competed in up to three track and field events including a standing long jump, softball throw, 100m dash, and 600-1200m distance run. The Comets coaches organized and ran the meet, with many of the senior Comets athletes volunteering to measure

and/or time the events. These athletes, including former Comet Brendan Hoff, were more than happy to give point-

ers and encouragement to the younger competitors. Attendance was made even sweeter as every

participant also received a delicious Hershey’s treat. These fun meets are held throughout North America to help promote physical fitness, participation and sportsmanship, while introducing children to the basics of track and field… the RUN, JUMP and THROW principles. Sponsored by Hershey’s, the track meets have been held for more than 36 years, with regional finalists eligible to attend the North American Finals Meet in

Hershey, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. later in August. Some notable results of the meet included two triple winners: Trevor Nast (boys 11-12) softball throw/100m/standing long jump Wy a t t Murray (boys 9-10) softball throw/100m/600m And two double winners: Antoine Minfray (boys 13-14) softball throw/1200m Lauren Linegar (girls 11-12) softball throw/100m

Every second year, Powell River plays host to some of the finest choirs from around the world at the International Choral Kathaumixw. One of the happy benefits for Campbell River music lovers is that we’re able to enjoy a concert by one of the visiting choirs before they return to their homeland. This year we have the good fortune to hear the Tachov Children’s Choir from the Czech Republic. Under the direction of founding director Josef Brabanec, the Tachov Children’s Choir has won numerous international awards. The group has performed in 16 European countries, South Africa,

Brazil, Argentina and China before coming to Canada. With 60 voices in their principal choir, they perform a wide variety of folk, secular and sacred music. The concert sponsor, Island Voices Chamber Choir, is still looking for places to billet the children for the night of the concert. To help out, visit www.islandvoiceschamberchoir.bc.ca or contact Jo-Anne Preston at 250337-5730. The Tachov Children’s Choir perform on Monday, July 7, 8 p.m., at Campbell River United Church. Tickets are $10 and are available at the Campbell River Visitor’s Centre or at the door.

Fishing Corner

Your Adventure Awaits!

7x14

Hot spots: Green Can and The Hump If you looked across Discovery Passage towards Cape Mudge and south of the lighthouse last weekend you would have seen close to a hundred boats fishing just south of Quadra Island. The salmon fishing was great with most anglers getting their limit, including Dallas Currie who went out for the first time. Lots of hatchery-clipped coho are being caught as well as springs, mainly around The Hump, but the Green Can seems to be the spot where fishermen are headed. Feeder springs are averaging 14-19 pounds and lots of sizes are in the high 20s. A few Tyee have come in with the largest being 34 pounds. Fishing slowed down a bit last Sunday as the whales went through, but all in all, the fishing is off to a great start in Campbell River.

Women’s Derby The 22nd annual women’s salmon derby wrapped up on Sunday at Painter’s Lodge with Lois McRae from Gibbons, Alberta being the overall winner with her catch of 28.6 pounds while Maridee Fitch coming in second with her salmon of 28.4 pounds. Fifty-six ladies took to the water this year and many have been coming to Campbell River for many years and will continue to fish here in the future. This was also the first salmon derby for Lavinna Lee, a baby from Seattle, Washington who was here with her mother Lisa. Both mother and daughter had a wonderful fishing experience. Just over 2,000 pounds of

salmon were caught at the derby. Ladies that register for the derby each year are assigned fishing guides on registration day and fish out of 17-foot whalers on Discovery Passage.

Flyfishing Lessons

Best Bait Saltwater anglers are using a wide variety of hootchies, and the big springs have been hitting on the big plugs. On the local lakes, the early morning hours seem to be the best time to get out. You can fish from shore using worms and some small trout can be taken. We are a few weeks away from the arrival of the pinks, reports will filter in from Sayward then Browns Bay and then the pinks will be in the Campbell River.
