A familiar face is returning to municipal politics in Campbell River.

Former mayor and city councillor Charlie Cornfield announced Wednesday he is running for mayor.

“It was the worst kept secret in town,” Cornfield said about his much-rumoured announcement.

Cornfield served one term as Mayor of Campbell River from 2009-2011 and nine years prior to that as a city councillor.

“I am concerned about the future of our city,” Cornfield said. “That’s the big one.

“We’ve got lots of potential. We need to responsibly manage growth.”

Cornfield said he is proud of his record and the councils he was on.

“We didn’t borrow a nickel and we paid down our debt,” Cornfield said.

But Cornfield is concerned about a lack of action taken over the last three years. We’re seeing the benefit

Campbell River voters will have a choice in the next municipal election: on whether you like “slate” politics or not.

For the first time, a group of candidates have come forward to run for city council under the same

banner.

“We all get along. We agree on a positive vision for Campbell River, and we have a strategy for resolving the main issues we see facing our city,” according to a press release announcing the slate of five candidates running under the name of CHOICE. Bob Bray, former BC Conserva-

tive candidate for the 2013 provincial election, David Christian, Josh Krynen, Marcia McKay and Jim Parnell make up the CHOICE slate.

“We offer a common sense approach that intends to be practical and careful,” Marcia McKay, speaking on behalf of CHOICE, told the Mirror. “We believe in living within our means and that transparency is

#600-1400 Dogwood St. Mariner Square, Campbell River 778-346-4111 Architectural renderings of the new Campbell River Hyundai dealership show the new colour scheme which it will be one of the first dealerships in the country to debut.

Campbell River Hyundai debuts new WE'VE MOVED 3x3.25 national corporate colour scheme AlistAir tAylor Campbell RiveR miRRoR

It’s not often that a Campbell River business gets to debut a national corporate redesign but that’s what Scott Kilby’s new Campbell River Hyundai building will do.

The automobile company’s Canadian arm is launching a new look for its dealerships across the country just when Campbell River Hyundai is building a new store in a new location in North Campbell River.

That means Campbell River Hyundai will be in the first wave of dealerships to sport the new corporate image.

“I am going to be one of the first stores in Canada and the first in B.C. to have that look,” Kilby said.

The fortunate set of circumstances even earned Campbell River Hyundai a mention in a write up in a national automobile magazine, Canadian Auto World, in its September 2014 edition entitled “Hyundai’s striking new image program turning heads.”

“Construction has already begun on Scott Kilby’s store in tiny Campbell River, B.C. –

scheduled to be one of the first to sport the new image,” writer Jackson Hayes says in Canadian Auto World.

Hyundai’s Global Dealership Image Space identity program features the most striking visual departure in recent memory, Canadian Auto World says.

The current blue colour scheme will be replaced with bronze in an effort to distinguish itself from all the other auto dealerships. With red and blue predominating in the automobile industry, Hyundai wanted to back away from using primary colours to attract attention. Instead, according to Canadian Auto World, Hyundai wanted customers to think of the cars first when they thought of the company and not a corporate colour scheme. So they picked a premium look and feel that would let them stand apart. The new design will utilize metallic and earth tones. The program also incorporates new technologies in the retail operations.

In the process of designing his new dealership location, Kilby was contacted by Hyundai head office and given the option of incorporat-

ing the new look.

“They said, ‘You can stay with Hyundai blue (the current colour scheme) or you can be a leader in the industry and change and we’ll work with you,’” Kilby said.

It took a lot of back and forth between Kilby and his partner Garry Thulin’s architect and Hyundai’s architect,

Kilby said, but through a concerted team effort, the new image scheme is being incorporated into the new building at its Highway 19 and Meredith Road location in North Campbell River.

Campbell River Hyundai is currently located just a couple of blocks away on Coulter Road, a block east of Highway 19 in North Campbell River.

The annual North Island Cruisers Show ‘n’ Shine was a big hit on the weekend. Things kicked off with the Tyee Chev Buick GMC Show ‘n’ Shine on Saturday, followed by Cruise Night Saturday night setting off from the Discovery Harbour A&W and culminated in the big day on Sunday when downtown became one huge classic car lot.

Vehicle torching threatens local forest

A vehicle torching threatened to ignite a forest fire this week.

On Wednesday at 7 a.m., Campbell River RCMP responded to a complaint of an arson to property out on the Elk River Main at the 11 km marker.

An Hitachi excavator belonging to a company working on a bridge was torched and a second Cat excavator was tampered with. The Hitachi has significant damage and is a loss to the company.

“The trees around the Hitachi were burned and thankfully didn’t cause a forest fire in the still dry conditions,” Const.

Poppy Hallam.

Campbell River RCMP Forensic Identification Section and the arson investigator attended and processed the scene collecting evidence for analysis.

If you have any information about this crime, please contact the Campbell River RCMP at 250-286-6221 or if you wish to remain anonymous, please contact Crimestoppers at 1-800222-TIPS (8477).

Our View

Civic elections need diversity Candidates are coming forward for our consideration.

In some ways, the race is already on, leading up to the municipal election Nov. 15.

On that date, Campbell River We say: Diversity residents will be entrusted to elect a creates a broader mayor, city councillors and school trustees who will represent us for the perspective in our next four years.

Some people have indicated their political system intentions; many have yet to go public.

Candidates can’t formally declare until the end of the month, Sept. 30 at 9 a.m. and they have another 10

days after that (Oct. 10) before the deadline to hand in nomination packages.

We hope, most of all, that there will be strong candidates, but we hope also that there will be a variety of candidates.

At the moment, two of Campbell River’s seven city council members are women, six out of 13 on the Strathcona Regional District board, and five out of seven on the Campbell River and area School District 72 board.

Beyond gender, there can be a place at the council table for candidates of any age, ethnic background, sexual orientation, social standing or political leaning.

Rather than categorize and divide us, these diversities can create a broader perspective.

Compromise and co-operation are a part of democracy.

Of course we realize that counting councillors by gender – or any classification – is an oversimplification.

Candidates will be judged on their merit, their character, their priorities and promises, their strength and smarts, their motivation, their intentions.

We hope that this fall, voters will have the chance to elect just the sort of representatives we’re looking for, both men and women.

At least one of those kids is being bullied, probably two or more are struggling with English as a second language, three is the allowable ‘numbered’ kids, four are not at grade level and should be ‘numbered’ and five are really eager learners. Throw in a couple that have A: come to school sick; B: a few more that haven’t had enough sleep or any breakfast; and C: maybe some with only a struggling and or depressed parent. This is why the teachers are on strike.

The classes are too large. Kids deserve better. Teachers I applaud you!

Joanne Banks (retired teacher) Campbell River vvvv To all the members of the BC Liberal Party: The courts have ruled twice that the government illegally stripped funding that helped to ensure that class size and class composition was manageable. The number of special needs students that are not getting the help they need in the general education classroom is way too high, which directly impacts the learning conditions of all students in the class.

The government needs to increase funding to the schools in order to ensure that class composition is manageable and that the needs of all the students in the classroom can be met.

It’s okay rain, don’t listen to naysayers, I love you When the rain started last week, there were cries of, “Nooooooooo! I’m not ready for summer to be over!”

There were a few, much quieter voices who said the opposite, but I have a feeling that in a few months, when it rains more often than it doesn’t (or seems that way, anyway), most of the latter will be gone, and people will generally be all gloomy about it.

Mike Davies Don’t take it personally, rain. It’s not Mike’s Musings their fault. They just don’t know you like On Twitter: I do. @PaperguyDavies Like anything, rain gets annoying miked@campbellrivermirror.com when it’s just a constant in your life.

But think about all the constants in your life and how unhappy you would be without them [cue hopefully-light-

hearted joke about spouse/kids].

Better yet, picture a winter full of kicking through snowdrifts to get your mail and icicles forming on your eyelids from the driving wind freezing the condensation of your breath to your face.

Picture having to listen to the radio in the morning to see if you’re allowed to go outside or if you’ll die if you do.

I’ve lived in that. More than once. For many years.

It’s more than unpleasant.

A constant drizzle of rain does nothing but make me question if I want to go golfing as often as I do in the middle of summer.

That’s it.

I suppose it causes the roads to be a

little more slippery.

Just slow down. It’s good for. You to stop being in such a big hurry all the time, anyway.

Alright, so I guess, “It’s so much worse in other places,” isn’t a very good reason to be okay with something.

Well, how about this: Rain is life.

We live in what could be considered (and most of us agree is) the most beautiful place in one of the best countries in the world.

How do you suppose it got that way?

The beauty and lifestyle we enjoy here is a direct result of the rain that annoys us.

It causes the growth of the forests we hike in and it causes the streams we fish

in to flow down from the mountains we love looking at.

It’s the cause of all the reasons we love this place.

And it’s warm.

I know, I did the temperature thing already, but seriously, is there anything better than walking around in a rain that doesn’t chill you to the bone, face turned up to the sky, letting it run off your face and into the earth below?

A cleansing shower from nature.

Rebirth.

Growth.

Next time it starts raining I’m going outside to appreciate it.

I hope I see a few of you out there doing the same.

Cornfield: Wants to keep momentum going Reporter

of work done by previous councils, like on what he calls the “major projects” – the John Hart Dam upgrade and the new Campbell River hospital.

“It took a lot of work over a long period of time to bring the major projects online,” Cornfield said, “benefits (from which) we are receiving now.”

This past council has not kept that momentum going; not focusing enough on the future.

“I haven’t seen them work on anything for five-to-seven years down the road,” Cornfield said.

Campbell River has to find new sources of annual revenue, not more taxation to move the city forward, he said.

Our ability to accomplish that is affected by the current strife on council.

“To do that, you have got to have a council that is really cohesive,” he said. “You can have your differences but it is important that everybody is on the same page.”

The strife that has

marked the current council affects the city’s ability to compete outside the community as well.

“They want to know that all of council is onside, that the community is onside,” he said.

The mayor and councillors are there to represent all of the community. Cornfield is a firm believer that the mayor and council is elected to follow the will of the people. The challenge for council is to know what the community wants and needs and where it is going. One of the jobs of mayor is to build a team of council and city staff that is directed by the citizens through meaningful public involvement and participation.

“It is about working together (knowing) how to disagree respectfully and move forward,” Cornfield said. “I have no hidden agendas, no personal pet projects.

It is about developing a strategic plan that all can support and working together for the benefit of the community as a whole.”

Plans for a residential housing complex on the corner of Alder Street and Niluht Road are officially approved by council.

Council, at last week’s Tuesday meeting, signed off on a rezoning to accommodate a new development that will partly border the new École Mer-et-montagne French school.

The re-zoning will

allow the developer to build a strata complex of single family residential homes on the .71 hectare lot.

Plans call for 14 strata units, primarily geared towards the older demographic.

The average size of the homes is expected to be 1,500 square feet.

Steve Lindsay told council at its July 22 meeting that he intends

The mayor’s role is an important one, Cornfield said. The public sees the mayor attending functions, dealing with the public, speaking on behalf of the city and council, dealing with the media, chairing council meetings and fielding concerns and complaints.

The mayor also has to work with council and city staff to ensure they function as a team and know what is expected of each other. The mayor also has to provide clear strategic direction to staff so that they know what council and the public expect.

The other, less visible aspect of the mayor’s job

is as an ambassador, usually away from the city dealing with federal and provincial governments, industry and business.

The mayor promotes the city. Even when he is working on various boards and committees, his presence and actions give the city a profile.

Cornfield also said that opinions are formed about the city via the actions of the mayor in his ambassadorial role.

Cornfield said he knows what is required from the mayor and knows how to accomplish it. His campaign is based on a “triple bottom line” - environmental, economic and social.

Cornfield is ready for the challenge.

“I have had three years off,” Cornfield said.

That three years gave him a chance to reconnect with people, he said, and provided the opportunity to reflect on his previous time as mayor.

He said he has regrets and can see how he could do things differently but he is also proud of his record. He has been encouraged by the num-

to stagger the units.

“We want to create a series of houses that take advantage of the views,” Lindsay said.

As part of the development, Lindsay has entered into an agreement with B.C.’s Conseil scolaire francophone to remove a cement walkway that connects Niluht to the school and runs through his property.

The walkway in the

past has been used as an access point to the school’s field and playground.

But under the agreement, the francophone association has agreed to allow Lindsay to remove the walkway.

City staff support the development because it meets the objectives and criteria laid out in the city’s sustainable official community plan (OCP).

Slate: Five issues facing the city Continued from Pg. 1

last three years could have been much more productive.”

McKay said that slate politics is an effective way of moving forward.

It works in other municipalities.

CHOICE sees five issues as the main ones facing the city: n Drive economic development. n Enhance social programs for seniors, youth, and the homeless. n Streamline bureaucratic processes. n Plan thoroughly; reduce taxes while improving services. n Tackle parking, traffic flow, and City appearance.

The candidates biographies were included in their announced candidacy: “Bob Bray, MBA, has an extensive management history. He was a senior manager with a large motorcycle retailer in Vancouver, and has worked as Director of Finance for an Immigrant Services Society, as well as Assistant Administrator for the Arthritis Society. He was a senior manager of UBC’s physical plant, responsible for buildings, grounds, and utilities. Bray was later Director of Administra-

tion at the UBC Faculty of Medicine.

“Bray will approach the deliberations of council with a non-partisan spirit and with a consensus-seeking attitude. He will work patiently and respectfully to ensure that good management practices benefit Campbell River residents, tourists, and visitors.

He wants city council to strongly support community agencies.

“D av i d C h r i s t i a n moved to Campbell River at the age of three, and operates a commercial fishing business as well as a boat repair facility.

He also serves as President of the Campbell River Harbour Authority. Christian is involved with Small Craft Harbours nationally. While the Harbour Authority is non-profit, he finds that the organization has the same issues as the city, only on a smaller scale.

“He is familiar with budgets, capital spending, human resources, legal issues, working with other levels of government, and managing revenues through spending within one’s means.

Christian has lived through the restructuring of a resource-based economy and understands the importance

of diversity, recognizing strengths and opportunities, and the importance of sound financial planning.

“Jos Krynen (pronounced Yosh) left a thriving business as a denturist in the Netherlands and moved to Campbell River. He and his wife run Eagle Eye Adventures. Kr ynen is president of Krynen Holdings Ltd, and he serves on the board of St. John Ambulance.

Krynen has a diploma in Marine Biology.

“Krynen listens to people and believes that getting some good common sense into city council decisions would help the city grow the right way now and in the future.

Krynen wants more openness, clear goals that make sense, and an open and transparent city hall. He believes in investing in infrastructure, not something that looks good and costs lots of money. Krynen is forward looking, and wants Campbell River to be a place that you never want to leave.

“Marcia McKay has lived and worked across Canada, and chose Campbell River for her retirement. Since arriving she has served on the boards of the Tidemark,

ElderCollege, and Newcomers. She is a Willow Point Lion, is on the board of Shoreline Arts, and volunteers with the RCMP’s Restorative Justice Program. When she retired from the federal government, she was Regional Director for Industry Canada for BC/ Yukon.

“Adept at administrative law, finance, purchasing, and contracting, McKay knows we can be more efficient, more effective, and more economical in our decisions at city hall. She believes in cost-benefit analysis, return on investment, and getting it right the first time.

“Jim Parnell and his family are currently fostering four children. He is an underground miner at Quinsam Coal and also serves as the President of USW Local 9347.

“As a councillor and taxpayer, Parnell wants to see Campbell River return to being a destination, the way he remembers it. He sees this election as a new beginning – an opportunity for Campbell River voters to choose a council and a mayor who are eager for transparency, fiscal responsibility, and approaching each issue with practicality.”

City’s CUPE workers file strike notice KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The city’s unionized CUPE workers have served 72 hour strike notice.

Contract talks between the city of Campbell River and its CUPE (Canadian Union of Public Employees) workers broke down earlier this week and on Tuesday, the union put the city on notice.

The two sides had appeared to be close to a deal and the city is now requesting the Labour Relations Board engage unionized employees in a vote on the city’s latest offer.

“We have come to a tentative agreement on almost all items except wage adjustments and the term of the agreement,” said City Manager Andy Laidlaw in a news release. “Given that the collective bargaining process has brought us so close to an agreement, even in respect to term and wage adjustments, we wanted to share the city’s last offer directly with employees affected.”

T h e c it y ’s of f e r includes increases of

two per cent in 2014, 1.5 per cent in 2015, 1.5 per cent in 2016 and two per cent in 2017 for a total of seven per cent over four years.

The first increase would be retroactive to January 1, 2014.

But Blaine Gurrie, president of CUPE Local 401, said the city is trying to dodge the bargaining process by forcing a vote.

“The place for negotiations is at the negotiating table and we feel strongly that this move will only further erode the respect we have been trying to build within the city,” Gurrie said in a release. “We expect to initiate a ban on overtime work, but we aren’t ruling out a full blown city-wide walkout to press for a negotiated settlement.

The last thing we want to do is interrupt city services, but the city’s action has left us with no other choice.”

The city has asked the Labour Relations Board to arrange a last offer employee vote, with voting details and timing still to be determined.

“The timing of the vote is determined by Employment Standards, and we are hopeful that CUPE employees will be able to vote on a new agreement within the next week or so,” said Ron Bowles, the city’s general manager of corporate services.

Campbell River CUPE city staff have been without a contract since Dec. 31, 2013.

In the last round of bargaining, CUPE accepted a five per cent wage increase over

four years that totalled $ 4 1 3 , 7 5 0 for 1 8 8 employees – 118 fulltime, 30 part-time and 40 auxiliary.

While CUPE workers voted 88.3 per cent in favour of strike action during that round of bargaining, strike notice was never filed.

That’s not the case this year.

Gurrie said as part of the last contract, CUPE agreed to a zero per cent wage increase in the first year on the understanding that wages would be adjusted once the city was out of its financial difficulties.

He said now that the city has run successive surpluses, the union is asking for a two per cent increase per year which would be in line with settlements in neighbouring Vancouver

3x4 North Isladn College First Aid Train

Island communities and well below the Canadian average annual wage increase of three per cent. Gurrie said a two per cent increase would keep pace with inflation and anything less would equate to a cut in wages.

Italian Cultural Society supports heart health

fi

records electrical signals from the heart via a series of electrodes attached to the chest.

These electrodes are connected to a small piece of equipment that is attached to the patient’s belt or hung around the neck, and is responsible for keeping a log of the heart’s electrical activity throughout the recording period.

For 19 years the Campbell River Italian Cultural Society has hosted an amazingly fun and delicious family picnic at Miracle Beach Provin-

cial Park, complete with homemade sausages and spaghetti, raising more than $18,000 in support of quality health care for Campbell River and North Vancouver Island.

Anyone who would like to support the doctors, nurses and other key members of the local healthcare team, and support first-class healthcare at Campbell River Hospital, can make a donation to the Hospital Foundation online at www.crhospitalfoudnation.ca or by calling 250850-2418.

BOOMERS & Beyond 10 ways to slow the effects of ageing We all age a little bit every day and like it or not, we can’t do anything about it.

However, several lifestyle choices can help to slow down the effects of ageing.

Here are ten examples: 1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

7.

8.

Stop smoking: cigarettes reduce a smoker’s life expectancy by about four years, not to mention the ageing effects on skin, hair, and teeth.

9.

Intergenerational cooperation in every way

Protect yourself from the sun: sun is the most important factor in ageing skin and one of the main causes of skin cancer.

10. Drink a lot: good hydration is vital for the body’s organs and for healthy looking skin.

Get sufficient sleep: aim to sleep eight hours a day. Not getting enough sleep is harmful to the skin and can cause unhealthy weight gain and a grim outlook.

On one side of the scale, we have baby boomers approaching the end of their working lives, with lots of free time and few commitments.

On the other side, we have a younger generation, too busy trying to stay afloat to be able to devote a lot of time to their children.

Intergenerational cooperation is one obvious solution to this problem that is so typical of our times.

Helping each other out has many advantages. For young people, spending time with seniors can bring a feeling of reassurance and comfort. They can learn more about where they come from, which can help them better discern which direction to take in life. For the baby boomers, this is the ideal occasion to pass on a rich and diverse heritage and to feel useful and young at heart.

Use your memory: don’t forget that the brain is a muscle. Give it some exercise with word games, puzzles, and stimulating discussion and readings.

Stay active: it’s proven that exercising for 30 minutes a day improves health. Do it every day, if possible.

Fill up on antioxidants: colourful fruits and vegetables are full of these compounds that protect the body’s cells and help boost the immune system.

Reduce your sugar intake: sugars promote weight gain and accelerate the ageing of the skin. There is also some evidence that they compromise the immune system.

Increase your calcium intake: calcium is essential for healthy skin and bones.

Manage your stress: stress makes you look older, so aim for a balanced lifestyle through yoga, meditation, exercise, and rest.

Here are a few suggestions for intergenerational projects that benefit both young and old folks. They might already exist in your community, and if they don’t, you could start a new project yourself.

Community gardens: teach the younger generation how to grow vegetables and they’ll help you with the weeding.

Help with homework: many ex-teachers see this as an opportunity to renew ties with their vocation on a part-time basis.

Read stories to children: reading aloud is proven to build brain power in children, and it will bring you into contact with some very interesting young personalities!

Arts and crafts workshops: help children discover their creativity all while exploring your own. Their pride in their work is sure to inspire you.

Invite your grandchildren or some young friends to your home for some intergenerational activities: prepare a meal together, build a birdhouse, or play board games. Perhaps, in return, these youngsters will show you how to use the Internet or plug into a social network.

Smoking reduces life expectancy by ave The Power e Hyears.

Helping in Malawi, one suitcase at a time MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

This coming Sept. 11 at the Royal Coachman Carriage House, anyone interested in helping the people of Africa can learn more about another way to do just that.

For a $25 donation to The African Traveling Suitcase, an organization

providing supplies to orphanages in Malawi, Kenya and Tanzania, participants will have the opportunity to enjoy traditional Malawian food prepared by chef Max Libala (who will also be performing the Malawian music) and bid on any of 19 empty suitcases.

Those suitcases each

represent one orphan in the orphanage to which Yvonne Pelletier-Paul and her voluntourism group are travelling in October, and will be filled with supplies tailored for each child, either by the winning bidder, or by volunteers with the Travelling Suitcase organization.

“In my experience,”

said Pelletier-Paul, who has been running tours and safaris in Africa for years, “people want to do more than just see the country they’re traveling to. They want to give back whenever they can, for having the opportunity to see it.”

Pelletier-Paul said she’s also hoping that 19 people also sign up for the

until september 7 PROCESS mariner square

Malawi tour (they don’t have to be the successful bidders on the suitcases) to deliver the now-full luggage to the Chikondi orphanage in Malawi.

For more information on the fundraiser, to purchase tickets, or the Malawi tour itself, contact Pelletier-Paul at 250-204-3332 or Arlene Lihala at 250-204-3612.

Scotiabank & BC SPCA Paws for a Cause helps animals in Campbell River

S

ome animals never know kindness.

The good news is, you can fight animal cruelty in your community by registering and fundraising for the 2014 Scotiabank & BC SPCA Paws for a Cause walk, held each September to raise funds for abused, injured, neglected and homeless animals throughout B.C. This year, participants in 31 communities throughout the province will walk to raise funds to help animals in need across British Columbia.

The Scotiabank & BC SPCA Paws for a Cause walk to fight animal cruelty in Campbell River will be held at Nunns Creek Park on Sunday, Sept. 7 from 9:30 a.m. with the walk starting at 11 a.m.

Proceeds from the Campbell River walk will benefit animals at the Campbell River SPCA. Participants can enjoy a variety of entertainment and fun activities, including fun dog games such as the bowl-licking contest, face-painting, a salmon barbecue hosted by Marine Harvest with the company matching all donations generated from the barbecue up to $1,500, top fundraising prizes, and bouncy castle for children.

Generously supported by our local sponsors – CTV, Campbell River Mirror,

2DayFM 99.7 the Radio Station, Strathcona Toyota, MacTavish Welding, Great Canadian Oil Change, Seymour Pacific Developments LTD., Campbell River Pet Centre, Associated Tire Auto, Shar-Kare Feeds & Pet Supplies, Dogwood Pet Mart, Marine Harvest, and RH Printing & Graphic Design– the event brings animal lovers and their furry friends from all walks of life together for a great time as well as a fantastic cause.

“This is the largest single event to help fight animal cruelty in British Columbia,” says Krista Constantineau, manager of fundraising events at the BC SPCA. “We are overwhelmed by the amazing participation each year – it’s so great to see thousands of people come together across the province to help B.C.’s most vulnerable animals. Our supporters not only raise essential funds, the events are so much fun for two-legged and fourlegged participants.”

Local BMX’ers rip it up at provincials S

even local BMX riders have been competing hard all season (starting in May) working towards last week’s Provincial Series final race in Victoria.

Athletes from across the province must compete in a minimum of four qualifying provincial races in order to qualify to be ranked top in the province, and earn a BMX plate (mounted on their bike with their placing number on it).

“This is a very big event that the riders work towards all year. It is very motivating and prestigious for a rider to earn a BC plate,” said Corby Johnson, father of nine-year-old Maklin Johnson who won the number 1 plate last year.

Out of the seven riders from Campbell River, five came home with a top-10 plates in their respective categories.

Maklin Johnson gets some air.

Jason Kerluck drives towards the finish line in BMX Provincial Series race in Victoria last week.

Young riders Oliver Cornbill, 2, and Noah Kerluck, 5, will have to wait next year to earn a plate, but they both rode hard and had fun while watching their older brothers rip up the track.

In the 6 and under age division, newcomer to Campbell River, Austin Cornbill earned the coveted number 1 plate, representing the top rider in B.C. Sam Johnson rode in the same group and had

to settle for a 9th place finish after a disappointing crash while in the lead during his semi final race. This dropped him out of the final race and out of a top five finish.

Dane Kerluck rode

hard in the age 7 category earning a 4th place finish, while buddy Jason Sekulich battled his way to a solid 3rd place in the eight-yearold division.

Finally, senior rider Maklin Johnson showed

heats were given to them on Saturday with the D going to Dana Ackerman, C to T.J Halliday, B to Andy Tims and the A to Kevin Lawrenuk.

Thirty-five laps were given to a 27-car field for their main event. A ton of early cautions made for a very interesting race, mixing the cars up early.

After all was said and done, Kevin Lawrenuk would find himself in first and would hold on to take the win in the A main.

The B main would see a flurry of lead changes

throughout the race, with the last lead change going to Luke Dixon on lap 25 and would hold on to win his first B main event win of the year, with second going to Liam Inglis and third to Boston Larson.

Thirty-two Hornets cars entered the fun on Sunday night. Four heats were once again given to the Hornets on Sunday with the D heat going to Shawn Allen, C to Andy Tims, B to Luke Dixon and the A to Kevin Lawrenuk.

Thirty laps were given to the B main which saw

Rowland Westra jump out to an early lead and would hold it for the first 18 laps, but Dixon would find his away around Westra and would manage to hold on for his second straight main event win.

Twenty-five laps were given to the A main which saw Lawrenuk dominate the field, grabbing the lead on lap 11 and not looking back from there, holding on to win his second straight main event win.

A full field of eight Roadrunners took to the track over the Long

weekend.

Ryan Guest would take home the 12 lap heat on Saturday, with the 25 lap main event going to Trace Stevenson who

Whichever way you look at it, a practice session is never as much fun as a round of golf on your favourite course, especially with good company. But more regular visits to the practice range are sure to have an impact on your score card.

Even though a lot of golfers are already in the habit of warming up with a basket of balls on the driving range, it is wise to structure this exercise so that it doesn’t turn into a race against the clock.

Golfers should try and think of these practice sessions as real golf games. After about ten minutes of stretching, take a few minutes to practice swinging with your different clubs. After this, choose some targets on the practice range and change clubs with each swing. This will enable you to get in some practice with your woods, your long irons, and your short irons.

At the end of the session, take about ten minutes to practice your precision shots with your wedges within a radius of 20 to 50 yards. You’ll also benefit from practicing your putts over varying distances on the practice green before starting your round of golf. This will give you a better idea of

DARRELL BOYD STEWART

July 15, 1946 - August 26, 2014.

In loving memory

It is with great sadness we announce that Darrell Boyd Stewart, aka; Stubble, Wingnut, Wingy, lost his battle to cancer Tuesday, August 26, 2014 at home, surrounded by family.

Darrell was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend to all who knew him. Predeceased by his parents Lionel and Helen Stewart and brother David. Darrell leaves behind his best friend and wife Linda, daughter Stacey Stewart (Darren); grandchildren Kyle, Stephen, Isabelle and Chyanna, daughter Debbie Gibbs (Graham), grandchildren Jayden and Cienna, daughter Haley Sopracolle (Becket), grandchildren Connor and Jenna; extended grandchildren Tamara, Ryan, Colleen, Kayla and Brandon Blaney, brother Brian (Carol) and family, brother Ron (Caryl) and family, aunts, uncles and cousins along with many brother/sister in-laws, nieces, nephews and his countless friends.

Darrell was born in Maidstone, Saskatchewan July 15, 1946. Being raised on the family farm, he grew up learning the true value of hard work. At the young age of 15 he began his working career, starting out on the Leachman farm, where he developed a love for horses and the sport of horse racing. From there he would branch out in the construction trade and the oil industry. Darrell and Linda were married June 29, 1968 and the following year moved to Port Alberni, BC where he would find work with Coulson Prescott Logging; this is where his love for logging began. During their eight years in Port Alberni, Darrell and Linda’s family grew. They were blessed with 3 beautiful daughters Stacey, Debbie and Haley, as well as an amazing group of extended family friends. It was also during this time that he became interested in and volunteered as a member of the RCMP Auxiliary. His dream of becoming a member of the RCMP would become a reality, being sworn in May 30th 1977 in Port Alberni.

That same afternoon he and his family left for Saskatchewan so that he could attend training in Regina. Unfortunately, because of a previous logging accident, Darrell was forced take a medical discharge due to nerve damage in his shoulder. The family would then return home to Maidstone where he worked alongside his dad on the family farm. Throughout these years of farming, his interests would grow to include cattle shows and sales, auctions, truck driving and involvement with the local hockey team. Darrell’s love of history became his passion and with hard work and dedication he played an instrumental role in purchasing the CN Station in Maidstone and establishing the Maidstone & District Museum.

In 1990 Darrell returned to the Island where he would leave his legacy in the logging industry. He spent most of his logging years working for Hayes Forest Services, Ted Leroy Trucking, Kurt Leroy Trucking and Dane Developments Ltd., all for whom he had a great respect. He was devoted to his work and all positions he held, from setting chokers to managing heli-logging operations. It would be in Darrell’s last few years that he would find his niche as a buyer in the Scrap Metal Industry, building lasting relationships while working for Steel Pacific Recycling.

All who knew Darrell will remember him for his kindness and his generosity, the giving of himself and of his time. We hold dear to us the special skill he had for building unique relationships with anyone who crossed his path, and it is these relationships that will forever keep his memory alive. Words cannot express our sincere gratitude for all the love and support we have received throughout this difficult time.

Out of respect for Darrell’s wishes, there will not be a funeral service; however, a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date with an announcement to follow.

In lieu of flowers we ask that donations be made to the Canadian Red Cross.

Boyd’s Funeral Services offers online condolences to be made at www.campbellriverfunerals.com

He was sent to a hospital in North Africa, and after a month, was sent back to fight. He later was shot through the shoulder by a sniper and again ended up in North Africa recovering. While there, he contracted malaria which plagued him for many years.

Dad came back to Saskatoon, where he met and married Marie Nelson. They lived there for 6 years, but due to a second bout of polio for Mom, it was recommended that they move to BC for its milder winters. They settled in Campbell River RIver in 1954. They had 3 children children and and laters later adopted adopted one one more. more. Dad spent most of his working life at the saw mill at Elk Falls until retirement at age 65.

The third reason is the mighty 6.2L engine with dominate. The top Yukon Denali model traditionally 420hp and 460 lb.-ft. of torque. Because this engine represents about 35 per cent of all Yukon sales but and the 5.3L have direct injection, variable value timin the first few months of sales, it has captured more ing and most importantly, cylinder management, the than 60 per cent.

V8 can switch off half of the eight cylinders and lean off the fuel mixture to reduce fuel consumption.

With more than 1,000 km driven at a range of speeds, the real world consumption was 12L/100 km, close to the 11.4L/100 km official highway rating with the 6.2L engine. All the current Yukon models are equipped with a 6-speed automatic but the 6.2L engines will get an 8-speed this fall, with the 5.3L following next year.

AWD is standard on all but the base model and these trucks can tow up to 3856 kg.

Verdict The Yukon is winner on all trim levels. I could find no fault but it is pricey. Starting at $51,800 for the SLE or $60,960 for the SLT and $75,540 for the Denali, this isn’t a cheap prospect. However, the Denali offers most of the same features as the more expensive Cadillac Escalade but is more use-friendly and less expensive. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca The Lowdown Power: 5.3L V8 with 355 hp or 6.2L V8 with 420 hp Fill-up: 16.2L/11.4L/100 km (city/highway) Sticker price: $51,800-$75,540

Look out for the Pagani Huayra, which is powered by a 720-horsepower twin turbo engine, the fastest car to go around the BBC TV program Top Gear’s test track. Also worthy of a lingering look will be the

P1 McLaren, one of only seven in Canada; a 2015 Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4, making its debut here; a 2014 Rolls Royce Ghost Majestic Horse Edition, a 2015 BMW i8, the new electric luxury car; and a 2015 Aston Martin V12 S Roadster, arriving directly from Pebble Beach for its Canadian debut.

Five of Ford’s oddest cars

By Rob Sass Multi-national Ford Motor Company has charted a quite conservative path through the years. Unlike dedicated eccentrics SAAB, Citroën and even American Motors, Ford has produced few cars that could be characterized as weird, but here are five from Ford (and its Lincoln and Mercury divisions) that still have us scratching our heads: 1982-85 Ford Escort EXP: The EXP (along with its twin the Mercury Lynx LN-7) was simply bizarre. It was supposed to be a sporty two-seater version of the Escort compact, but the styling was incomprehensible.

It was touted as a modern, affordable and efficient version of the concept that brought the car world the classic two-seater 1955-57 1963 Mercury Monterey Breezeway

1959-67 Ford Anglia 105E

Thunderbird. But where the T-Bird was graceful and elegant, the EXP was just odd, and the squinty, hung-over look to the headlight treatment was particularly strange.

1963 Mercury Monterey Breezeway: The Monterey and its predecessor, the Turnpike Cruiser, were standard 1950s and 1960s full-size Ford Motor Company products, but it was the backward-slanted rear roofline and a rear window that lowered for ventilation that added a truly strange look to the car, as well as providing ready ingress for exhaust fumes.

2002 Lincoln Blackwood: The Blackwood was a one-year-only Lincoln luxury pickup designed to compete with the Cadillac Escalade XLT. Unfortunately, it turned out to be the answer to a question that nobody

was asking—a shortbed luxury pickup that was too nice to haul anything. Less than 3,500 were made in that single year.

1959-67 Ford Anglia 105E: Famous as the flying car from the “Harry Potter” series, this English Ford sported a distinctly American feature — the bizarre, backward-slanted rear window that Lincolns and Mercurys had sported in the U.S. : Another odd duck Ford not seen in the U.S, the Ka was both an oddly named and strangely 2002 Lincoln Blackwood

1996-08 Ford Ka

1982-85 Ford Escort EXP

styled city car that measured just over 142” overall. Performance was largely theoretical as the Ka was powered by a derivative of the ancient four-cylinder that powered the Anglia.

Handling was at least said to be entertaining.

An eco-friendly big Lincoln The MKS is not just another big Lincoln; it’s an slick ultra-modern fullsized sedan.

It was introduced for the 2009 model year and came with just about every new high-tech auto gadget.

Unlike the big engine, gasguzzling Lincolns of yore, a modern V6 engine powers MKS. Both front-drive and all-wheel-drive (AWD) versions of MKS are available. The ‘09’s 3.7-litre V6 is a four-valve per cylinder engine with variable valve timing that can deliver 273 horsepower and 270 lb.-ft. of torque, on regular-grade gasoline. The front-drive

version should consume about 14.0 /9.9 L/100 km (city /highway – new adjusted rating) and the AWD edition drinks an additional half-litre of gas every hundred kilometres.

The transmission is a six-speed automatic transmission with an auto sport-shift feature and it also has a sequential manual mode feature. The optional all-wheel-drive (AWD) system defaults to a front-drive mode in normal driving situations, but it can send up to 100 per cent of drive to either the front or rear axle, if needed.

The standard equipment list includes stuff like a

The new 3.5-litre “EcoBoost” turbocharged direct-injection V6 engine, offered more power, yet provides about the same fuel economy, as the base 3.7 litre V6 and came as

part of a new GTDI trim level. No other running changes of significance were made to MKS for the 2011 or 2012 model years.

Higher than average repair problems, particularly with the braking system, show up on the Consumer Reports reliability surveys, but average to good ratings in most other areas has allowed the MKS achieve an overall “average” reliability history rating.

Crash safety ratings for the MKS are excellent and it’s an overall “Top Pick” in its class, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

A pre-owned Lincoln MKS is an even more attractive purchase when you consider that it probably cost in excess of $50,000, when brand new, to put it on the road. A used MKS can be a good buy, especially if you plan to do some long distance driving.

Welcome renovations to hanger were well overdue, but squadron 363 is still looking for volunteers MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

When Matt Gimson approached his boss at Campbell River Home Hardware to see if they could help out with something his child was involved in, he didn’t expect what was about to happen.

The response from store manager Allison Kilby was, “Let’s go have a look,” and after that first trip she knew it wasn’t a small undertaking. She also knew it was one they needed get behind.

The project in question is the Campbell River Air Cadets hanger at the airport, and, according to Kilby, “They were in a pretty dire situation.”

The walls of the facility, while structurally sound, were all made of medium d e n s it y f i bre b o a rd (MDF), and there were some not-insignificant issues with the kitchen and office facilities.

“I told them to make a plan,” Kilby said, “and figure out what they wanted to do first, and what they could wait and do next year.”

Dawn Koomen, who sits on the board of the non-profit society who helps operate the facility, said while she had hoped for some help from someone, as the organization didn’t have any money in the budget for upgrades, the response from Home Hardware was overwhelming.

“We were literally expecting a few buckets of paint from them when they said they’d help. But what they’ve done - I just don’t know how to

thank them for it,” she said, looking around the hanger at the progress that’s been made. “We were struggling to keep our heads above water, and these repairs just weren’t in the cards and were long overdue. It’s just amazing.”

What Home Hardware has done is not only supply the, “few buckets of paint,” that were hoped for, but also supplied and installed new cabinets and countertops for the kitchen and office areas, replaced the walls of the main hanger, and have committed to renovating the bathroom facilities, floors and ceilings in the next phases of the project, which will happen over a three year span.

“Giving back to the community is something all four generations of Thulin’s (the owners of Home Hardware) have always been all about,” she said, “and this was a group that needed it.”

Why, out of all the organizations out there, did they decide to help the Cadets?

“These kids are going to be brilliant,” Kilby said, “and they’re not as recognized as some of the other groups in town,” using examples like sports teams and other organizations that are comparatively wellsupported within the community.

“We want to give locally, to groups as opposed to individuals, and to organizations that give benefit to the community,” she said, “but do you really know why?” she asked.

She then pulled a folded up paper from her

purse. “This is why. This is them,” she said, handing over the page and pointing at it. “I hope that makes sense and doesn’t sound weird.”

On the page was written out, in longhand, a quote from Steve Jobs.

“Here’s to the crazy ones,” it began. “The misfits. The rebels. The Troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes.

“The ones who see things differently…You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward.”

And so the work on the hanger will continue.

As for the Air Cadets, despite the help with the renovations, the struggle continues. They’ll be at the Volunteer Fair at Spirit Square in the Tyee Plaza on Saturday, Sept. 6 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. looking for help.

Specifically, according to Koomen, they need finishing carpenters to help reinstall the trim around the doors of the facility and a few other odd construction jobs, as well as people willing to take the material supplied for a few courses and teach it to the kids…like public speaking.

They also need someone to teach the kids how to use all the instruments they didn’t know they they had until they began the renovations and found them in a storage area, so if you’ve ever waved a baton in front of a band, maybe give them a call.

MIKE DAVIES/THE MIRROR

The “before” (or rather “during”) and “after” shots of the kitchen area in the Campbell River Air Cadets hanger are a great example of the hard work put in by their volunteers this summer and the contributions from Campbell River Home Hardware to make the renovations a reality. If you want to help Squadron 363, as well, you can call them at the hanger at 250-923-1001 or see them at the Volunteer Fair in Spirit Square on Sept. 6.
