By the end of summer, patients in hospital in the Comox Valley and Campbell River will have an additional service at both facilities, as Transport Canada has certified both rooftop heliports with H1 classifications.

Tom Sparrow, chief project officer with the North Island Hospital Project, said both heliports were certified on June 8, and activation work is now underway to prepare for full functionality.

“This is the final steps in our projection for completion,” he noted and added Helijet will be performing test flights and operational and clinical staff will be working to ensure all employees understand the procedures surrounding helipad operations.

The 153-bed Comox Valley campus along with a 95-bed facility in Campbell River is part of the North Island Hospitals Project; the combined cost of the project was $606.2 million. Both facilities opened in fall 2017.

Reactions divided on fish farm regulations DAVID GORDON KOCH Campbell River Mirror

Responses to newly announced conditions on fish farms in B.C. were sharply divided, with critics saying the measures are coming too slowly, while voices from the aquaculture sector defended an industry facing new requirements.

Their reactions came as the province imposed new conditions on ocean-based salmon farms, requiring them to have agreements with “relevant” Indigenous communities to have their provincial land tenures continued.

The new provincial regulations take effect by 2022, B.C. Agriculture Minister Lana Popham said Wednesday, just as 20 provincial tenures in the Broughton Archipelago expired.

Those tenures will carry on month-tomonth until new conditions are met.

A second new condition is that Fisheries and Oceans Canada provide assurances that wild salmon runs are protected from salmon farms. The federal government has the bulk of responsibility for ocean-based aquaculture on all coasts of Canada, including assessing risk for disease and parasite transmission.

Homalco First Nation Chief Darren Blaney expressed disappointment about the changes,

saying the government didn’t address pressing concerns about the effects of salmon farming on wild stocks.

“They didn’t say anything about all those diseases that go along with those farms,” he said.

“They needed some courage, but they just punted it down the road.”

Blaney said other jurisdictions are embracing land-based aquaculture, which involves raising salmon in tanks, and that B.C. would miss out on economic opportunities in that mode of fish farming.

“They’ll be down in Florida and elsewhere,” he said.

“We’ll have lost those jobs.”

Meanwhile, Tlowitsis First Nation Chief John Smith spoke in favour of the fish farming in B.C.’s coastal waters, arguing that the provincial government should “make up their mind” about the industry’s future and foster more stability for open net-pen salmon farming companies.

“It’s a pretty important industry and for us it’s very important,” he said.

“You want to know that you can continue your process.”

He said that salmon farms that lease territory from the First Nation provide badly needed funds for his people for social services including education.

“It’s money that our nation can count on on a regular basis,” he said, adding that confidence among investors would result in more jobs for his people.

On fish farms, he said, “the pay’s decent, better than what you’d get on welfare.”

As for the concerns about negative effects of open net-pen farming on wild salmon, he said that fish farming is a “clean process” and suggested that concerns of conservationists are overblown.

“We know that wild stocks are still there, because we have commercial fishermen that would attest to that,” he said.

“And we have guardians that monitor the area where the fish farms are, and they haven’t seen anything deleterious yet.”

But conservationists said that wild salmon are in crisis.

Aaron Hill, executive director of the Watershed Watch Salmon Society, called the changes a “historic step forward” but said they’re happening too slowly.

“Four years is a long time to wait when our salmon stocks are in peril and we’re facing unprecedented fishery closures up and down the coast,” said Hill, adding that farmed salmon was “hammering young wild salmon with dis-

eases.”

But he said it’s encouraging that farms in the Broughton Archipelago may be removed earlier than 2022, pending the outcome of talks with First Nations in the area.

“We know that First Nations in Broughton want those farms gone, as do the majority of British Columbians,” he said.

As for conditions requiring assurances from Ottawa that salmon farming is safe, he said it was a positive step but expressed wariness about the handling of the matter by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO).

Meanwhile, Green Party MLA Adam Olsen released a statement expressing outrage at the pace of change, saying the measures scheduled for 2022 should already be happening.

Hospital: Transport Canada has three classifications of heliport

Continued from A1

While both hospitals have been operational since last year, the helipads at both facilities were not certified for operation.

At the official opening of the Comox Valley campus in November, B.C. Premier John Horgan said the province was awaiting Transport Canada’s deliberations on what classification would be given to both facilities.

Canadian heliports have three classifications, explained Sparrow; the classification determines the type of helicopter that can use the heliports.

H1 classification is when a heliport is located in an environment where there is no emergency landing area with 625 metres of the landing pad. An H1 helicopter must be multi-engine and capable of remaining at least 4.5 metres above all obstacles with one engine not in operation.

H2 classification is when a heliport is located in an environment where there are emergency landing areas within 625 metres of the landing pad.

An H2 helicopter must be multi-engine and capable of reaching an emergency landing area with one engine not in operation.

H3 classification is a pad located in an obstacle environment, and are reachable by a single-engine helicopter in autorotation (engine failure).

Sparrow said when the request for proposals was issued in 2012, the understanding was the site would be classified as H2.

“Since that went out, the landmarks have changed … because of the amount of community development which has gone up around the hospital. This is happening right across Canada - we’re not being targeted.

Transport Canada has specific guidelines which focuses entirely on the safety of those flying the helicopters, the paramedics on board, the patients and those living around the site.”

Once the helipads at both sites are up and running, Sparrow noted patients can expect improved service with patient transfers in addition to organ transplant services.

Air ambulance transport in the Comox Valley has been diverted to the Courtenay Air Park during the day and the Comox Valley Airport at night.

In Campbell River (since 2014), the Campbell River Airport has been used for air ambulance transport. » Delicious West Coast Inspired Menu » Daily Afternoon Specials » Chef’s Evening Feature Sheet

Area D considers supplying its own water MIKE CHOUINARD Campbell River Mirror

Some residents in the north part of Area D in the Stratchcona Regional District are looking for a new source of water.

Members of the Area D Residents and Ratepayers Association (ADRRA) have undertaken some geologic assessments of the area to look for a source of water that could not only supply their northern half of the electoral district but also the southern half, which currently gets water from a system run with Black Creek of the Comox Valley Regional District.

Due to operating deficits, Area D residents in the north half are now facing a large rate hike to cover system costs.

While there are diverging views on how to tackle the problem, a common view in Area D is the City of Campbell River, the bulk supplier, charges to the SRD are too steep.

“We can divert that money from going into the City of Campbell River’s bank account,” ADRRA president

Rod Nugent told the Mirror, adding their aim is to supply their own water.

At a recent SRD board meeting ADRRA president Rod Nugent outlined his concerns with the troubled utility, describing it as having a flawed business model.

“They’ve just been staving off the inevitable and I guess they could double the rates and stave off the inevitable a little more, maybe another three years,” Nugent said. “The sooner we start supplying our own water, the sooner we can start saving millions of dollars,” he added.

As one step, the SRD is currently a conducting a study of water for the area.

ADRRA representatives say they appreciate the direction the SRD and Chief Administrative Officer Dave Leitch have taken in recent years to become more proactive around water issues.

“Dave Leitch is a water guy,” ADRRA member and co-founder Bob Solc said. “He knows water.”

Solc, a geological engineer, said there are additional ques-

tions with the current system around quality – specifically chlorine – and water pressure.

In response, the group has identified an area with potential for supplying all of the water needs for both the north and south halves of Area D. Solc said they are looking at geologic characteristics such as sandstone and gravel deposits in terms of how much water is on site and whether there is enough to handle flow demands for wells. They have also been talking with Thomas Smith, economic development officer with the nearby Tlowitsis First Nation, about their own work on the issue.

The ADRRA members took an initial field trip on June 13 and have been interpreting aerial photographs of the site. They hope to get some geophysics information and map potential reservoirs, which they can present to the regional district. If possible, they would also like to drill some test holes on site, Solc says, and they hope to have a report to present to the

“We’ll definitely put together a program of what we would recommend happen,” he said.

At that point, ADRRA will want the SRD to apply for government grants for a project. Whatever the outcome, they say they need an alternative, as the increases of this year will only get worse in the coming years if the status quo continues.

“This is an escalating cost for the area,” Solc said.

“It’s bad now, but it’s going to be two to three times as bad four to five years down the road if something isn’t done.”

Marine trail planned for Discovery Islands DAVID GORDON KOCH Campbell River Mirror

P

addling enthusiasts want to establish a “marine trail” through the Discovery Islands – a chain of launch sites, rest areas, safe havens and camps that would connect Sayward to Powell River, with Campbell River as the hub.

“Campbell River has a really good potential as a core for new routes,” said John Kimantas, Discovery Islands project manager with the BC Marine Trails Network Association.

The network, which would allow kayakers and other small-craft seafarers to navigate the region without resorting to illicit wilderness campsites, was the topic of a workshop on Tuesday evening at the Campbell River Maritime Heritage Centre.

A map of the proposed area for the marine trail includes the maze-like system of waterways amongst the Discovery Islands and several major inlets on the Mainland.

The system of water routes would potentially form part of a long-dreamt-of trail stretching from Alaska to Washington State.

“That’s the end vision, to link everything,” said Kimantas, who also pitched the idea to Campbell River city council on June 11, receiving a letter of support from the city.

The ambitious plan is meant to respect First Nations whose territories the network would traverse, said Kimantas.

“First Nations is a huge piece of the puzzle – in fact, it’s pretty much paramount,” he said.

There are seven Indigenous peoples with core interests in the area, he said – the We Wai Kum, We Wai Kai, Kwiakah, Homalco, Tla’amin

John Kimantas spoke about the envisioned marine trail at the Maritime Heritage Centre on Tuesday evening. Photo by David Gordon Koch/Campbell River Mirror and Klahoose – and several others with what he described as secondary interests – the Halalt, Stz’uminus, Lyackson and Penelakut, along with the Cowichan Tribes.

The association is currently in “good communications” with six of the seven core First Nations, he said, adding that talks are underway about a potential partnership with the Nanwakolas Coun-

cil, which represents several of the Indigenous peoples whose lands would be affected.

The threat of degradation to sites along the potential trail is one of the major challenges for the project, he said.

“We don’t want to be the group that goes in and loves something to death,” he said, adding that campsites in the region are currently being ruined by what

he called “anarchy in the wilderness.”

Kimantas, who is well-known as the author of works including the Wild Coast guidebooks, travelled to Campbell River on his 36-foot motor cruiser after meetings in Powell River and on Cortez and Quadra. Following his presentation about the project, the 20 or so people who showed up – mainly paddling enthusiasts and some tourism

professionals – discussed issues including access to drinking water along the trail, threats to sensitive locations and the safety of paddlers among the fast-moving channels.

“You could wind up in the wrong place without being properly prepared for what goes on in those channels between the islands,” said Bob Shafer, a director with the Campbell River Paddlers, a local sea kayaking group. But he expressed enthusiasm about the project.

“The more accessible it is, the more sites there are… that would be intriguing to me,” he said.

Jess Cavanagh, who works at the Blind Channel Resort on West Thurlow Island, where she does “a little bit of everything,” including operating a water taxi, seconded concerns about safety in the fast cur-

Destination Campbell River has been busy ‘strengthening the brand’ MIKE DAVIES Campbell River Mirror

T

he Campbell River Visitor Centre has been funded for at least three more years.

At its most recent meeting, Kristen Soder of Destination Campbell River presented city council with updates on the organization’s marketing strategies and merchandise offerings, along with various other promotional materials – including a new official community map – and announced the Visitor Centre had

received approval from Destination BC for its operational funding through 2021. Soder began her presentation by passing around bags containing the latest marketing items, which are now available at the Visitor Information Centre, as well as other locations around town.

She then launched into the current marketing strategy outside our town’s borders – which, after all, is pretty important for driving visitor traffic to our community.

“We’ve been working hard to strength-

en the brand story that came from the community consultation during our Place DNA process last year,” Soder said, “and I’d like to show off how we’re incorporating these visuals and messaging into our marketing material.”

The “sizzle that sells the steak,” Soder says, will be the highlighting of eight particular local amenities and/or landmarks, including places like Elk Falls and Discovery Pier, as well as a five-pack of different excursion itineraries, “that are designed to be

It’s now in place and being pushed globally. just the first of what we hope will be an ongoing series of day-trip ideas, which is a great way for us to bundle experienc-

es for different types of travelers to the area.”

Soder also announced recent updates to Destination Campbell River’s website, campbellriver.travel, which includes a new welcome video, entitled “Welcome to the Wild.” She also

explained how Destination Campbell River monitors social media platforms and responds in real-time with marketing tools targeted to what both locals and visitors alike are posting.

“Social media is arguably our most measurable and important medium,” Soder says. “It provides us immediate insight into what our visitors are enjoying and what they are interested in. It’s a critical tool for us to gauge the sentiment of potential guests, as well as locals.”

She says their team engages daily with platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and TripAdvisor, “just to make sure we have that real-time engagement

with visitors whether they’re already here or still in the stages of planning their trip.”

Soder also told council the Visitor Centre is now officially fully staffed.

“We’ve recently hired three new seasonal staff, and they are all rockstars,” Soder says. “They are all locals and we are really, really impressed with what they’ve brought to the team.”

Schools, First Nations preserve traditional tongue MIKE CHOUINARD Campbell River Mirror

S

chool District No. 72 is combining new technology with the wisdom of Elders as a means to preserve First Nations languages.

At the June 19 board meeting, some of those involved with the Community Language Project spoke about their latest activities of the project, which matches Elders with teachers to preserve Kwakwala/Likwala language.

The project is a collaboration between the school district’s Indigenous education program with the local First Nations communities, the Nuyumbalees Cultural Centre and the First Peoples Cultural Council.

Greg Johnson, district principal of Indigenous education, introduced mentees Brody Naknakim and Dana Roberts and mentor Emily Aitken, and outlined the importance of the project in promoting the success of First Nations students.

“The research shows that the more that Indigenous stu-

The Community Language Project includes a YouTube channel with videos teaching stories and language. dents are connected to culture, language, heritage and history, the more successful they are,” he said.

Roberts talked about response from the young students.

“I know our kids are stronger when we have language,” she said. “They’re sponges, they just learn fast.”

The project starts with the Elders teaching the teachers.

For the mentoring program, she said there were five of them currently learning the language but the hope was to double the number of speakers that can pass on the language.

The mentors and mentees are capturing the langauge on videos, posted on a YouTube channel called Easy Lessons in Liq’wala / Kwak’wala. These

cover stories and legends, grammar, verbs and vocabulary.

Naknakim said they have identified distinct language sounds and showed school trustees the chart they use.

“In our language there are 48 sounds that are distinct,” he said.

So far, they have put together more than 50 videos that show daily conversation in the traditional language, sometimes with puppets performing the scenes.

Other videos, such as the one Naknakim played for trustees and district staff, depict legend such as a local flood story in which a chief tries to warn the people of an impeding danger.

Roberts also said the adults are also appreciating learning the culture, adding

Emily Aitken (left), Brody Naknakim, Dana Roberts and Greg Johnson present their work on preserving local indigenous language to the board of education. Photo by Mike Chouinard/Campbell River Mirror they have had a positive response from the Elders working with them.

“When the Elders are pleased, we’re pleased,” she said.

Naknakim also credited the role the Elders have played in teaching them to then teach the young students, and he emphasized the need to document the language immediately because the Elders are getting older.

“We’re assisting

them. It’s really their knowledge,” he said.

Aitken, who provides one of the voices for the programs, said their work with preschoolers starts with the alphabet and moves on to teaching through stories and legends.

“The kids really seem to like it,” she said.

Video is only form kind of technology they plan to use.

She and June Johnson, the current

Elder-in-Residence at North Island College, travelled to South Korea where teachers use an app to teach English as a second language.

Their mission was to learn how to apply their software application to the Kwakwala/Likwala language program.

Aitken has been translating the vocabulary and composing sentences as a first phase.

The next step in-

Following the presentation, board members expressed their support for the project.

“That was very, very interesting and really wonderful to hear about the collaboration you have going with the community,” said board chair Susan Wilson.

“This sounds like a perfect storm, and you’re right in the middle of it in a positive way.”

New sculpture, Sentinel, unveiled in Campbellton DAVID GORDON KOCH Campbell River Mirror

O

n June 18, artist and city councillor Ron Kerr unveiled his new sculpture, Sentinel, outside Nesbitt’s coffeeshop in Campbellton.

The figure – designed in a steampunk style

meant to acknowledge the area’s continuing industrial history – is made largely of repurposed bronze propellers originating from around Campbell River, a reference to the area’s marine history.

“It’s a piece that reflects the basic DNA of what Campbell Riv-

er’s always been,” said Kerr, who began working on the sculpture last year but has been sourcing the materials from scrap for more than a decade.

About a dozen people attended the unveiling, including Mayor Andy Adams and several city councillors.

The event was held by

Nesbitt’s Island Coffee and the Campbellton Neighbourhood Association, which is trying to revitalize the area through efforts including the installation of the sculpture.

Kerr said it’s the first in a series of steampunk statues that he plans to develop for the community.

Students slip and slide while band performs

By Braden Majic Carihi Mirror It is becoming more of a tradition at Carihi to end the year with a summer-in-

spired event, which continued on Thursday, June 7, with “Human Slip and Slide Bowling.”

Despite the dreary weather and a few

raindrops, it didn’t deter some people from participating over and over again.

“I really love participating,” said Grade 10 student Keely

Participants simply slid down the plastic sheet slide that was soaped up and wet from a hose to knock down pins at the bottom during the lunch hour.

Getting a strike meant being rewarded with a freezie at the end.

Last year, it was the “Colour Run” as Carihi’s summer event. It saw students running a course while getting hosed down and being splashed with coloured powder to turn their white clothing into a rainbow.

When it came to playing that day the band decided “why not.”

Live bands are something that Shields has encouraged in the past and coordinated alongside Leadership events.

“I kind of had a feeling that if people still stayed sliding and got rained on, they would stay to listen to students do their thing,” he said.

“It was cool to see how Carihi would get behind that.”

Carihi Grade 12 students receive hands-on learning opportunity on Vargas Island trip

By Anna Buck Carihi Mirror

Nine Grade 12 students from Carihi secondary school were recently given an experiential educational opportunity: a trip to the Cedar Coast Field Station on Vargas Island, B.C. The field trip was a first for Carihi science teacher Thomas Diesch, coordinator of this and other learning experiences, including a trip to

the Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre earlier this school year.

“When we went to Bamfield in the fall, there was such positive feedback… for these types of learning experiences, so I [decided] to plan another for the spring.

There’s so much value in being able to offer this kind of trip,” says Diesch.

The trip ran from May 31 to June 4, and the weekend was a busy one for students. Some of the

iation work on the Keltsmaht reserve.

Although many of the activities were focused on science, the THEY SAID trip was not strictly IT: “It does for students who have a bit of plan on pursuing a a science feel career in the field. to it.”

“It does have a – Thomas Diesch, bit of a science feel teacher to it. [But] I really tried to open it up to more than that, and the experiences are much more than just science-based,” says from the Ucluelet Diesch.

Aquarium, a salmon “Every type of seine and plankton learning can be entow, and reconcilriched by being in a different space.

If you’re really into poetry or something, sitting on the beach or in the forest and writing poetry is very different from sitting in a classroom and writing poetry, right? So I wanted to support that kind of learning as well.”

Students felt that activities included were a microplastics survey with staff

“

A group of Carihi students went to Vargas Island for an education opportunity in the field. their experiences working at the CCFS gave them the chance not only to learn from, but to make a contribution to the program. They also found it a relaxing experience, and a

welcome break from working in the classroom. For Diesch, watching Carihi’s students be a part of a research environment doing hands-on work with staff was a rewarding experience.

“For the first time, maybe, for many of our students they felt more like peers with these adults in a research setting… instead of [a] teacher-student situation,” says Diesch.

“That’s really rewarding for the students to be able to feel that way, and also for the staff to feel like the students are really contributing.” Diesch also praised students for their positivity during the trip.

“Their days were packed, they were very busy, yet they all had smiles on their faces, they were all engaged, nobody complained about the weather when it was pouring… I think that’s pretty powerful.”

Grants from the Pacific Salmon Foundation and Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation made this trip possible.

Diesch hopes to make the Vargas Island trip a yearly one for Carihi, and will continue to look for similar opportunities to offer students.

“There’s only so much we can do in a classroom,” says Diesch. “It’s really cool that people are supportive of stuff like this… [because] this is really what learning can look like.”

Race the River is back on this Saturday at Tyee Spit. Photo by Thomas Photography

Race the River back on this Saturday MIKE CHOUINARD Campbell River Mirror

W

ith a little more water to paddle in, Race the River is back on this year after a one-year hiatus.

The event is hosted by local teams River Spirit and BraveHearts. Last year, the organizers learned close to the event that because of the tides, they would not have enough

water for the dragon boats.

“We historically have always done Race the River on the second-to-last weekend of June,” says Karen Chappell, a River Spirit member and one of the organizers.

They typically try to avoid competing with the July 1 long weekend.

“We scheduled it for that,” she says with a laugh, “but nobody thought to

check the tides.”

As the event got close in 2017, someone checked the tides and found the levels would be too low near the finish line.

“We would’ve been hitting the sand bars,” Chappell says.

While the tides still won’t be high this coming weekend, the water level should be enough for the competition to go ahead.

“We checked the tides this year. It’s

going to be low, but we can do it,” she adds.

This Saturday will mark the seventh time the races have been held in the last eight years. Part of the dragon boat event is to support breast cancer research as well as people who have had or currently have the disease.

They formed a partnership with BraveHearts, which used to be a mixed

team but is now a women’s team.

There is no shortage of competitive spirit to the event, as 19 other teams will be coming, primarily from around Vancouver Island, to take part in the races for mixed and women’s teams. Chappell says when the drum in the boat starts to beat, the racing gets intense.

“I can’t even speak at the end of a 500metre race,” she says.

Every team runs three races to try to come up with the best combined time.

“Everybody’s racing themselves, technically,” she adds.

There will be food avaiable and music on site as part of the festivities, which runs from 8:3o a.m. to 3 p.m. At noon, there will also be a concession selling carnations donated

by Quality Foods.

Sales will support breast cancer re-

search.

Chappell encourages people to come watch the event at Tyee Spit. An area near the finish line will be set up with bleachers.

“The best viewing area is Dick Murphy Park,” she adds.

“You get to see the finish, which is exciting.”

Let the chips fly at Transformations MIKE DAVIES Campbell River Mirror

T

his Wednesday at 7 a.m. the chainsaws were gassed up down at Frank James Park, their starter cords were pulled, and the 22nd annual Transformations on the Shore chainsaw carving was underway.

This year’s event features 17 carvers – professionals and amateurs alike – putting their skills to the test in the park, much to the delight of anyone who makes their way down to see the enormous raw logs become beautiful pieces of art over the course of five days.

The carving takes place from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. through Saturday and from 7 a.m. until noon on Sunday, when the saws will be put away and the judging will begin. Awards will be given out starting at 2 p.m. after judges have assessed all the work. One of the festival’s most popular events each year, the Quick Carve competition, will take place on Saturday at 1 p.m.

For that hour, the carvers will all start and finish one small

piece in its entirety, with the finished works auctioned off in a live auction.

Don Daniels, chair of the Shoreline Arts Society, which puts on the event each year, says this year they will also be selling raffle tickets at the event for $5, the top prize of which will be “Pick of the Park,” meaning one of these gorgeous pieces of art could be yours at the end of the week. Other prizes include (but are not linited to) a whale watching package from Discovery Whale Watchoing, a flight from Vancouver Island Air, a night’s stay, breakfast and four hours of fishing at the Salmon River Inn and numerous gift certificates from local businesses.

Daniels also reminds visitors coming down to the park that the parking lot isn’t available for public use during the event.

“Parking is always a challenge, so it might be a good idea to park further away and walk to the park,” he says, reminding visitors to please use the crosswalk at either Hilchey Road or

Transformations on the Shore continues through Sunday at noon, but organizers are asking the public to please keep the parking situation in mind when coming down to Frank James Park and walk to the park itself, using the crosswalks if needing to cross the Old Island Highway. Photo

Quadra Island Quilt and Garden Tour 2018 defines eclectic This Quadra Island Quilt and Garden Tour will feature the largest number of quilts ever produced by the Quadra Island Quilt Guild for the event which takes place on Saturday, June 23 and Sunday June 24 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Tickets are $15, good for both days and are available on the island at Inspirations and the Tourist Information booth at Quathiaski Cove and Works of H’Art at Heriot Bay. They can be purchased now or on the day of the tour. There will be 13 gardens with 10 having a multitude of quilts hung in them.

This year there will be over 130 quilts of all sizes from queen to crib as well as wall hangings.

The length of the tour is approximately 30 km, on paved roads and could be cycled by those so inclined. There is a map in the centre

page of the ticket.

The gardens are as varied as the quilts from specialty gardens to small farms, gardens fenced from deer and those who welcome deer. It is a wonderful chance to see what is at the end of all those mysterious lanes that disappear into the forest. You may find a century old orchard, ponds for fire protection as well as swimming, roses galore, a clematis collection or some baby goats. A real Quadra, eclectic collection, each unique in its own way If you think quilting and gardening are not connected you may be surprised by the long history of both being necessary for survival.

Our ancestors have grown their own food as well as herbs and flowers for thousands of years. Plants provided medicine, food and beauty to ancient peoples.

The Quadra Island Quilt and Garden Tour runs this weekend.

Quilting surprisingly has an equally long history. If quilting is defined as the process of sewing 2 or more layers of fabric together to make a padded material, its history can be traced back to a carved

figure of a Pharoah, dated 3400 BC. The middle ages in Europe saw quilted garments designed to be worn as either armour or under armour to make it more comfortable. It has been a tradition-

al craft in Europe since the 5th century and was brought to N. America by the early settlers. Today we are still cutting up fabric and sewing it back together to make blocks. The art comes in the fabric

choice, pattern used, quilting technique, etc. Today’s modern quilts are as much decorative as useful.

Quilting has evolved as has the plants, fruits and vegetables you will find in the gardens. If it can be

grown in this part of the world, it will be growing on Quadra Island. Paired together quilts and gardens make a memorable sight. Enjoy a day or two on Quadra and feast on the beauty displayed.

City discusses the possible return of Bus To Work Week MIKE DAVIES Campbell River Mirror

T

he City of Campbell River will look into forming a partnership with BC Transit that could see the implementation of a Bus To Work Week initiative.

Council received a letter at last week’s meeting from Heather Hughson Magee applauding the city for its efforts in promoting its annual Bike To Work Week, but suggesting that more steps could be taken to get people out of their cars a little more frequently in other ways, as well.

“I take the bus all the time,” Mcgee says. “But often when I talk to people about taking the bus, they kind of look at me kind of weird. I guess maybe they think it’s kind of dirty or dangerous or lower-class or beneath them or

something. But it’s actually a really great way to travel and I think it should be encouraged. It’s great for the environment, it’s clean, it’s safe and it’s fun.”

There’s also a social aspect to mass transit, she says.

“People actually talk to each other,” she says. “You’ll be there waiting for the bus and friendly people come along and you can have a chat and it’s really nice.”

Mcgee says she came up with the idea that spurred her letter to the city when she happened to be at Beachfire Brewing at the end of this year’s Bike to Work Week, “and I was seeing all these people in there celebrating biking and I thought, you know what? I don’t bike, but maybe we could do something like that to get people who would maybe never otherwise take

the bus to take a look at it.”

Mcgee thinks one of the deterrents for people is that they don’t think it’s convenient enough for them, but says that it will never get more convenient if people don’t use it – recognizing that it’s a bit of a Catch-22 situation. People might start to use it more if it was more convenient, but there’s no money to make it more convenient until the ridership increases.

Coun. Ron Kerr told council last week he was the one who encouraged Mcgee to send in her letter after discussing the idea with her at an art event last month.

“I think it’s much in line with the Bike to Work concept and it’s something that could encourage more ridership on transit,” Kerr said.

“I wholeheartedly

After receiving a letter from a local resident suggesting the promotion of a Bus to Work Week much like the popular Bike to Work Week, city council has decided to approach BC Transit to see if they can re-launch the initiative. Photo

by Mike Davies/Campbell River Mirror agree,” said Mayor Andy Adams, calling it “a great idea” and suggesting that when BC Transit comes to town to perform the official groundbreaking on the new operations and maintenance facility on Ev-

ergreen Road, those planning discussions should begin between city staff and representatives from BC Transit to see what kind of partnership can be formed.

Then at Tuesday’s Committee of the

Whole meeting, it was pointed out by staff that Campbell River had a previous Bus To Work Week initiative in both 2015 and 2016 in September, so this isn’t actually a new concept.

“We were the fist community to do a Bus To Work Week in the province,” said Coun. Charlie Cornfield.

“So I guess we’d better look at getting back on that bus,” Adams said.

Brind’Amour and Nugent-Hopkins dish on Vegas, coaching and toughest goalies ALISTAIR TAYLOR Campbell River Mirror

R

ecently-appointed Carolina Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind’Amour jokingly said first-year expansion team Las Vegas Golden Knights’ surprise run to the Stanley Cup finals was not a good thing because it puts him under a lot of pressure with his new, inexperienced team owner.

“No one picked Vegas to (make the finals),” Brind’Amour said during a question-and-answer session in last Saturday’s Rod Brind’Amour/Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Cystic Fibrosis Golf Classic dinner and auction at the Campbell River Sportsplex. “And now I’ve got a new owner and he thinks ‘Vegas can do it you, you’re going to able to do it.’

“So, it’s a little more pressure than I need at the start.”

Brind’Amour was speaking at a new component of the annual fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis research in which Brind’Amour and his co-host of the event, Edmonton Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, sat down with TSN sportscaster Kyle Bukauskus for a wide-ranging Q&A. Both Brind’Amour and Bukauskus are from Campbell River.

The first question was about Vegas’ success in its first year of operation and whether that was a good thing for the league. Nugent-Hopkins’ answer addressed the wider picture.

“It does show the amount of parity there is in the league,” Nugent-Hopkins said, “how many good teams and good hockey players there are in the league.”

Nugent-Hopkins added that

Photo by Alistair Taylor/Campbell River Mirror it was amazing to him that they just kept on going. They played the same way every night with four lines that all played the same way and they were players that were probably motivated because they had been let go by their teams.

“So those guys wanted it really bad,” Nugent-Hopkins said.

Brind’Amour, a former captain who lead the Hurricanes to a Stanley Cup victory and was named head coach last month, touched on the quality of player as well saying Vegas got the eighth best player from every team (in the expansion draft) – maybe even better – and added to that a Stanley Cup-winning goaltender (Marc André Fleury) and a high draft pick in Cody Glass “who was a monster,” Brind’Amour said.

But, after all joking aside, Brind’Amour agreed it was a good thing for the league to ■ ■ ■ ■

see Vegas have the success it did because in the past, expansion teams were almost always doomed to failure for their first few years.

“The worst thing (the NHL) ever did with expansion is make teams suffer for 10 years,” Brind’Amour said.

Brind’Amour was next asked how he would adapt to being a head coach.

“Well, it remains to be seen, I guess,” he said.

Brind’Amour again joked about how in the past at the annual golf classic, nobody was saying “good luck next year” but for some reason now that he’s head coach, everyone last weekend had been wishing him “good luck.”

“I’m thinking maybe everybody thinks I need it,” he said.

After seven years as an assistant coach, Brind’Amour said, not much changes in becoming head coach. It’s the same

amount of work, the same amount of time and preparation.

What is different, Brind’Amour said, is that as head coach, you’re now on the hot seat.

“But on the flip side, as an assistant, you’re not in charge of really anything. You’re kind

of listening to what someone’s telling you to do and you’re sending his message. “ Consequently, Brind’Amour is excited to see if he can take everything he’s learned from his life and hockey career and get a team to play the way he wants them to play.

Both Brind’Amour and Nugent-Hopkins were asked who was the toughest goaltender they ever faced.

For Nugent-Hopkins, it was Nashville Predators goalie Pekka Rinne.

“There’s something about him,” he said. “I think I have had about five breakaways on him – I don’t usually get a lot of breakaways (and Rinne stoned him on every one).

“Hopefully he can get out of our conference so I don’t have to play him as much.”

For Brind’Amour, it was a no-brainer – Dominik Hasek.

Brind’Amour called him “the best goalie that ever played, bar none.”

For more on this Q&A session – including Brind’Amour’s thoughts on coaching young players - see the video attached to this story on our website (www.campbellrivermirror. com).

then dumped one into the net and scored. Within minutes Kenny Sweet wass fed a rocket of a pass from Taylor Lysne and managed to sneak one past the Nanaimo goalie and scored.

The third period was almost an even fought battle between the two teams; however, the Ravens were not done quite yet. With less than 30 seconds left in the game, Cole Arsenault carried the ball down the floor on a breakaway but got surrounded by Nanaimo.

He managed to dish the ball to Jas Thiara who dodged the Nanaimo defense and ripped the ball into the Timbermen’s net and scores with three seconds left in the third. Nyrstar Midget Ravens took a 5-3 win over the Nanaimo Timbermen.

Cowichan Goliath in the middle of the floor, where he leaped up and absorbed a cross check, did a 180 mid air and landed on his feet.

In the third period, Kenny Sweet stole the ball from Cowichan and tore down the floor on a breakaway and scored the Ravens’ only goal this game. The game ended with a 9-1 loss for the Ravens.

Game two against the Nanaimo Timbermen was an exciting home game with nothing but goals for the Ravens.

At the end of period one, the Ravens were down two goals and the team was looking a little gassed.

In the second, the Ravens came alive and to start it all off Kaden Jarratt fires a pass to Taylor Lysne, who

I needed a break

Last week I was over in Whistler again and needed a break from work.

I was tired, stressed, and lacking sleep, so I figured some fresh air and adrenalin would do me good.

I’ve ridden Whistler for years, but have never explored the west side trails until recently, so trail forks (a live gps map) is key to my survival.

Off I went to explore, but quickly realized my phone was messing up, so had to stop for ten minutes to revive the gps.

Not a good start, but off I went again, with high expectations.

I headed in a new direction trying to avoid some of the steepest climbs, but ironically this way was steeper, way steeper.

Eventually I veered off the main path onto what looked like a climbing trail. These are a bit longer than the double track climbs, but far more fun and a little easier on the legs.

It turns out it was a crazy DH trail I had chosen to ride up, and I spent 30 minutes rock climbing with my bike on my back. ( I can’t wait to ride that one in the right direction) The next intersection popped up and I chose wrong again.

After a 30 second ripper DH, I endured a 20 minute hike a bike on a loose shale path straight up the mountain.

I had been looking forward to one of the steeper descents to salvage the ride, but as I arrived at the top, I realized I had a flat tire. (apparently the short ripper DH had some sharp rocks) As I made the repair, it started raining.

I started on the DH trail. A few seconds in I saw a sign with skull and cross bones stating that the trail was treacherous when wet.

If the locals think that, what am I in for as a rookie?

Since nothing was going right I thought I should turn back, but for some reason I continued down with hopes that the sign was wrong.

The sign was not wrong, but I was in it now, so I just kept rolling and tried not to die. (it’s how we improve right?)

I soon rode out at the half way point with an option to continue, or bail out on a beginner trail.

Can you guess which option I chose?

Eventually I popped out at the bottom, shook off the hand cramps, and rode the valley trail toward home.

It was an exciting two game weekend, for the Nyrstar Midget Ravens.

Saturday’s away game against Cowichan was an aggressive game that ended up with a one player game suspension, 45 penalty minutes, 27 minutes going to The Cowichan Thunder and 18 minutes to the Campbell River Ravens. At one point in the game, Taylor Lysne and Erin Persaud of the Ravens physically pulled players off their teammate during a high sticking scuffle.

The Nyrstar Ravens also faced a short bench that resulted in quick line changes, this didn’t shortchange the exciting display of LAX skills, where Matt Borg showed off his acrobatic abilities by facing a

Trout are going deep and the salmon are coming When it comes to trout fishing the local lakes during hot weather you have to change tactics and the hunt for fish is on.

Shallow water is warmed up and the best time to find trout is early morning or late evening.

During the afternoon sun you can try finding trout in shaded areas but if you are stationary fishing off a dock it can be difficult but if you don’t have a hook in the water you won’t catch fish.

I met a guy from Comox who was fishing a local trout lake and I wondered why he was fishing here in Campbell River and not fishing Maple or Wolf Lake in the Cour- FISHING tenay area.

He had mentioned that he scouts out the larger body of waters when the weather is hot like we had last

machinery parked around the Husky gas station. The second phase will be the parking area.

A ladies salmon

derby will be held at Painters and that means fun for the gals during the event and salmon fishing will be in full swing.

Introducing NorthWest Boats - Welded Aluminum

The Lower Campbell Lake has nice trout in deeper water during the heat. week. I fished the deeper water locally at Echo Lake and no bites were had that afternoon. I moved over to a lake west of the Echo and I noticed a few trout surfacing and taking a better look I saw the C R m small trickle of water coming out of the CORNER bush and small trout were surfacing in the cooler water.

can get deep. The deepest water is around 180 feet deep and getting close to the bottom is the key and fishing the right color of plug is the key. The wind at times can be a challenge but you can always take shelter at the north end of the lake when things blow up.

A research group from the States is doing a study on sticklebacks. Small pens were set up and the study has been going on for years.

Stella Lake is another place where trout fishing in colder water can be done in June and continues all summer long.

Another great fishing Lake is Stewart Lake in the Sayward area but the logging road is active and good tires and a good vehicle is needed.

Each week I get a chance to visit Kelsey Bay and find out the fishing action for the week. The pinks are not that far away and already some pinks have been caught in the area but still a bit early. A few salmon have been caught on Discovery Pier. A 10 and 14 pound salmon has been caught and is a good start for what is to come.

Area 13 salmon fishing has been fair to good around the Green Can and

Hump and we know the salmon are around chasing the bait. Those getting down using down riggers are fishing depths around 150 feet on the right tides and those who fish spoons are using Coho Killers and Gibbs Skinny Gs.Some of the old timers getting out are jigging Point Wilson Darts.

Within the week I am expecting the contractor to move in and start working the Big Rock boat launch area and it will be out of commission for the summer. You will see tons of rocks being moved in and

s always, the Campbell River Daybreak Rotary Wine & Blues Fest was a huge success. If you were lucky enough to attend, you will have your own list of fabulous wine finds.

If you didn’t manage to get there you owe it to yourself to track down one or two of these wonderful wines.

Our own BC grown wines surprised and captivated many of the wine lovers who attended. Slowly but surely, we are realizing how much our BC wines have improved over the last 20 years.

With a winery and vineyards in West Kelowna.

Mt.Boucherie Estate Winery also sources grapes from their vineyards in the Similkameen Valley as well as the Golden Mile Bench, south of Oliver. New ownership in 2016 gave winemaker Jim Faulkner the green light to keep making great wine.

The second wine grape of the traditional white Bordeaux blend (…after Sauvignon Blanc) straight Semillon is rare elsewhere outside of Australia’s Hunter Valley. Winemakers ‘downunder’ craft their sturdy Semillons to age into honeyed, spicy complexities.

Built for the cellar, Mt Boucherie Semillon 2013 (110650) $15.99 is a mouth-filling white. Another year or two in the cellar will accentuate the honeyed pear and apple flavours that ride a sturdy base of chalky lemon and grapefruit. Hints of anise and fennel add intrigue to the finish.

The Côtes du Rhône regional appellation stretches 124 miles from Vienne to Avignon and covers six departments.

Louis Bernard Côtesdu-Rhône Rosé (751446) $16.98 has a light strawberry hue with a peppery nose of earthy raspberry.

Strawberry and pink grapefruit flavours.

crisp acidity, and a hint of white pepper on the finish in every sip of Hester Creek Cabernet Franc Rosé (776500) $18.99.

Cassini Pinot Noir (167007) $20.99 comes from grapes grown on the Osoyoos East Bench located above the Osoyoos Lake. It is a lighter bodied red with delicate aromas of cherry, anise vanilla and blackcurrant with a nice fruity red berry and toffee finish. Sweet on first sip, it is seductively smooth as it slips over the tongue.

California’s Zinfandel originated in Croatia. The Croatian name for Zinfandel is Crljenak (Tsir-lea-nautz) Kastelanski (“black grape of Kastel”). Zinfandel is genetically identical to Primitivo which probably migrated from Croatia to Italy in the late 1700s.

Wine columnist Doug Sloan found some gems at this year’s Wine and Blues Fest.

Creek Valley appellation runs from Healdsburg north to Lake Sonoma, with its first plantings dating to 1870. Some ‘Old vines’ here can claim to be more than 100 years old. Today, more than two dozen different grape varieties grow in Dry Creek Valley but none is more widely planted than Zinfandel.

Redemption Dry

Creek Valley Zinfandel (709923) $19.99 offers aromas of blackberry, blueberry, plum dark chocolate, black pepper, oak and vanilla. There are spicy flavors of black pepper, blueberry, black cherry and chocolate. As winemaker Kevin Hall says, “There is mouth filling texture with a long finish on this big wine”.

Proceeds raised from this non-profit charity fundraiser allow Daybreak Rotary to continue with its many charitable causes in the community. If you missed it last weekend, think about marking your calendar for next year’s Wine & Blues Fest!

New hotel possibly on its way to waterfront MIKE DAVIES Campbell River Mirror

C

ity council has given first and second reading to a rezoning application that could pave the

way for a new hotel to be built on the South Island Highway near Hidden Harbour.

The two-acre property at 220 Island Highway South is currently zoned RM-3, which is the designa-

tion for medium to high-rise residences – typically three to six-storey apartment complexes – but the applicant would like to see that changed to C-6 so they can build a hotel.

TIPS FROM TAP Let’s Not Talk About Bookkeeping If there is one thing I have learned about providing bookkeeping services, it’s nobody wants to talk about bookkeeping.

Profit and loss statements, bank reconciliations, receipts…it’s just boring numbers and a necessary evil that a business owner has to take care of so they can pay taxes every year.

That’s the general mentality you get from a business owner, and I completely understand it.

The real questions business owners have, and the key decisions they need to make, all rely on good bookkeeping.

Without bookkeeping and awareness of where you stand financially, how is it possible to make those important decisions?

You may not like talking about bookkeeping, but you need the numbers that allow you to have a plan for profitability.

And you need to spend your time driving business and serving clients.

We just won’t call it bookkeeping.

1281 Cedar Street, Campbell River | Phone: 250-914-5828 Email: info@tapbookkeeping.ca | WWW.tapbookkeeping.ca

The C-6 designation is for “highway-related tourist accommodation and related ancillary uses and facilities,” based on the city’s zoning bylaws. Because the lot is located south of the Evergreen Road right of way, the maximum height of the building cannot exceed three metres below the “top of ridge” at the west side of the property, as determined by city staff in collaboration with BC Land Surveyors.

City staff was recommending the rezoning process proceed citing “a general need for higher-end hotels in the city,” saying Campbell River has been experiencing a “significant rise in hotel occupancy over the past few years, particularly in the summer months” According to statistics provided in

the report, Campbell River had the highest hotel occupancy rate anywhere in the province – 97 per cent – in August 2017, and this rezoning proposal “responds to a growing demand for tourism accommodation in the city.”

The development of the hotel would also trigger improvements to Pinecrest Road, which currently terminates above the ridge behind the northwest corner of the property, according to the staff report. Those improvements will result in a new pedestrian access route from the end of Pinecrest Road down to the highway.

“While steep grades within the road dedication render the construction of a road for vehicular access infeasible,” the report says, “the applicant will be required to

First and second reading has been given to a rezoning application that would see a new hotel built on this vacant lot on Campbell River’s waterfront near Hidden Harbour. Photo by Mike Davies/Campbell River Mirror construct a pedestrian connection that will likely feature stairs … (to) provide connectivity between the existing neighbourhood (above the top of ridge) and the Seawalk along the Island Highway.”

Because the property is a “hooked” lot that includes a portion of land across the highway on the waterfront, improvements by the developer would normally be required on that side of the

road, as well, but the staff report says the city may be interested in acquiring the portion of the property across the highway to relive the developer of this requirement and allow the city itself to perform walkway enhancements, sea level rise mitigation and the installation of onstreet parking.

Council agreed that the rezoning should proceed to public hearing to receive feedback on the proposal.

User your head and butt it out

Summer burst into its full glory this week on Vancouver Island.

People fired up their barbecues, headed to the beaches and enjoyed the sun over the weekend and throughout the week, as temperatures broke the 30 C barrier.

However, at the risk of sounding like a broken record, there is an important point that seems to need repeating every year – be cognizant of the conditions and the ability for things to catch fire in an instant.

There have been several examples of human carelessness in recent weeks.

Even something as careless as tossing a cigarette butt out a car window can have devastating effects (and could come with a hefty $575 ticket from RCMP under the B.C. Wildlife Act).

So the next time, you’re having a campfire with friends (in a permitted area) or thinking about tossing your lit cigarette butt out the window, pause and think to yourself – do you really want to be responsible for causing thousands of dollars worth of damage in a fire that could have been prevented?

Island firefighters love practicing their craft, but most would ideally rather do so in controlled situations than fight uncontrolled blazes on public or private land.

Housing First not a cure-all but it’s a start The phrase, “the projects,” conjures up connotations that don’t add up to an inviting neighbourhood, rightly or wrongly.

Still, some cities have made progress in recent years by building homes for the homeless.

In Alberta, Red Deer has been tackling the issue for the last 10 years or so.

It released a plan in 2008 to end homelessness in 10 years.

As an article in the Red Deer Advocate said earlier this year, time is running out on the plan. At the same time, while the city has not eliminated homelessness, it has been able to house more than 1,000 people, which is no small feat.

One of the features of Red Deer’s plan is Housing First,

an approach that aims to move people quickly into housing while at the same time providing additional supports and coordinating services to help vulnerable peoWISE ple. This concept underlies a different approach to helping homeless people: Provide a roof over someone’s head at the same time as working on the underlying issues.

It’s not just building a place and letting the person work out the rest on their own, but it does assume that without a stable place to live, homeless people become moving targets for any kind of intervention.

The Housing First idea was a cornerstone of a plan in Utah, which has made a name for

CRACKS Mike Chouinard

During a recent presentation at the regional district by a coalition aiming to end homelessness in Campbell River, one of the electoral area directors, Brenda Leigh, expressed some concern about the idea of building homes for people.

Instead, the focus should be on helping homeless people with their underlying challenges – specifically, mental health and addictions issues.

Indeed, a survey of homeless people in Campbell River last September found about 68 per cent reported such issues.

Leigh cited her experiences while living in London of seeing the squalor in tenement towers that had grown out of Le Corbusier-inspired urban planning following the Second World War that had turned terribly dystopian.

Attempts to end the chaos of slums by housing low-income people in tenement towers had simply turned them vertically.

Opinion

itself in tackling homelessness.

An article on NPR’s website noted the state in 2015 had reduced the number of “chronically homeless” people by 91 per cent over a 10-year period through the Housing First model.

Chronically homeless, as the article states, are defined as people who live on the streets for more than a year or for four times within three years and who have a “disabling condition,” be it physical or mental illness or disability or an addiction.

They are considered a subset of the wider homeless population, which was still estimated at 14,000 in the state.

However, the program had reduced the number of the chronically homeless from about 2,000 in 2005 to fewer than 200 a decade later.

That’s the good news. The bad news is that there is still a wider homeless problem, as a

February piece in the Salt Lake Tribune indicates, there is still a need for low-income housing.

According to a Salt Lake City official, there is a shortage of about 7,000 affordable dwellings for people making $20,000 USD or less a year. Add in the rising cost of real estate and low vacancy rates for rentals, and you have an increasingly thorny housing situation – one with which people around B.C. can relate.

Many of us like to think we’re impenetrable, but we’re probably not too many missing paycheques away – perhaps from an illness, an injury, a company going belly up, an employer moving in a new direction – from being out on the street ourselves. Housing First might not solve everything and it’s not without its critics, but it might provide a first step in helping the most vulnerable among us that have been on the street for too long already.

Off-leash dogs are A perspective on Kinder Morgan W a safety threat W

e have noticed Council and the City of Campbell River are striving to make our wonderful city as safe as possible and have taken steps to do so particularly in the downtown area.

We have written to City Council a couple of times about the difficulty of walking small dogs in Campbell River without being molested, accosted or attacked by unleashed dogs.

We have talked to several small dog owners and they all have had very unpleasant or frightening experiences with numerous incidents of dog attacks with seemingly no accountability for the owners.

On June 4, a man walking his two little dogs was attacked by five off-leash dogs in the lane between 3rd and 4th Ave. where we had just walked our little dog and until then was our usual route.

We talked to the Animal Control Officer and he says all incidents should be reported to him at Coastal Animal Control – 250-895-1323.

There is a leash law in Campbell River except for the Willow Point Dog park and Beaver Lodge Lands and people are to pick up after their dogs (which many don’t).

People can be fined for having an unleashed dog and dogs designated as vicious must be leashed and muzzled.

We, and others, can no longer enjoy the trails or city streets as no one seems to obey leash laws and their large dogs are running loose. Some are friendly but jumping around a little dog can subject them to injuries and is scary for them.

Many are not friendly and a real menace.

We are tired of hav-

ing to quickly grab our little dog up to avoid problems with large unleashed dogs.

A daily walk with our little dog should be a very enjoyable experience but it is not.

Most small dog owners are older or elderly and are vulnerable themselves while trying to protect their leashed dogs from being molested or attacked.

At the very least large dogs should be muzzled if not leashed. That would reduce a lot of dog attacks.

Perhaps a safe place could be designated for small dogs only since the large dogs seem to have everywhere else to run around?

We would never wish to harm anyone’s pet but Canadian Tire does have a couple of aides: a small air horn and pepper spray as a last resort. No one should use bear spray as that would be very

harmful to the dogs, but people shouldn’t have to worry about fending off aggressive dogs which happens far too frequently.

In Pitt Meadows people get fined for not having their dogs on leashes, so most people leash their dogs unless it is a designated off leash area.

Their Bylaw officer issues tickets for a substantial fine when encountering people not using leashes.

We are sure other towns and cities have strict enforcement too.

We hope something can be done about this ongoing problem so walks can be safe and enjoyable for everyone.

e read with interest the articles that were printed in the Campbell River Mirror regarding the Kinder Morgan pipeline and written by Rod Link and Barry Gerding.

I would like to share with you and your readers personal observations coming from 33 years of employment in the transportation of products to and from the Port of Vancouver, British Columbia.

The Port of Vancouver is a very busy one. In addition to sea buses and pleasure craft, vessels carrying cargo such as wood products, oil, sulphur, grain, coal and fertilizers to name a few move in and out daily. In addition, there are cruise ships during the tourist season that have priority to enter and leave the inner harbour. Each

NIC ABORIGINAL LEADERSHIP CERTIFICATE

ship requires a deep sea pilot to bring them in. A pilot is an individual with a Master’s Certificate who is experienced in navigating the coastal waters of British Columbia. Usually, they are former tug boat captains.

From May through September the demand for experienced deep sea pilots for cruise ships, which have priority, creates a shortage and as the volume of traffic in and out of the harbour increases, there is an even greater need for experienced pilots, tugboats and tugboat captains.

There is no readily available source for experienced deep sea pilots and there are no guarantees that an accident will not happen under their guidance. History tells us that even such experienced master certified pilots make mistakes.

British Columbia’s weather plays a vital role in the movement

of vessels along the coast and entering or leaving the inner Vancouver harbour.

Worry already exists that the increase in tanker traffic from the Kinder Morgan terminal in Burnaby as a result of the twinning of their pipeline will go from approximately four oil tankers per month to a projected 34 would inevitably increase the chances of a spill. More tanker traffic moving in and out of Vancouver’s inner Harbour via the Juan de Fuca and Haro Straits and the Salish Sea increases the potential for not just an oil spill, but any kind of marine accident. Passenger ferries sailing from Vancouver to Nanaimo and Victoria on Vancouver Island as well as the Gulf islands and from Victoria to Port Angeles in Washington State also use these water ways. Of major concern is whether or not the National

Transportation Safety Board is prepared.

The material used to build the Kinder Morgan Pipeline in 1953 is probably of a lesser quality than is used to build pipelines today; however, over time this pipeline will weaken whether it is material failure or damage due to movement in the geological fault that runs through Burnaby Mountain.

In fact several leaks along the pipeline have already occurred. It is reported that little opposition was voiced to the initial pipeline especially as pertains to the route taken through national and provincial parks. That may very well have been, but currently there is vehement objection to the construction of a second pipeline through such environmentally sensitive, important public areas.

GO GOLFING! Keep that overswing in check to increase consistency significant problems later in the motion.

“In my many years of teaching this tends to cause serious problems with consistency and doesn’t create any more power then a parallel position at the top of the back swing,” Haddad says.

“Overswinging causes more moving parts and pieces in the golf swing such as too big a body turn, a collapsing lever arm, which results in the bending of the left elbow for right handers, cupping or overcocking the

ince the backswing is what puts a golfer’s body into the position that will be the base of making proper contact with the ball, it’s kind of important, according to Storey Creek Golf Course’s Adam Haddad. Unfortunately, many golfers, in an effort to generate as much power as possible, suffer from “overswing,” or taking the club too far back, which leads to

wrists, opening the fingers of the lever arm hand, collapsing or totally straightening the rear leg, a reverse pivot, which creates the spine toward the target with the weight on the forward leg at the top of the swing.”

Overswinging is usually a problem, he says, because the more moving parts one has and the farther out of position one gets the more difficult it is to bring the club back to the appropriate place at the appropriate time,

let alone do it consistently.

“There are some players that have had success with a longer backswing position, such as John Daly, Tom Watson and Nancy Lopez, but I have never met anybody who teaches to overswing, as this tends to have negative results for most of us when it comes to creating consistency and enjoyment of the game,” Haddad says.

Thankfully, correcting an overswinging problem is not difficult to do, but it will take some practice and discipline to correct.

“The best way to work on this is to check your backswing position at the top when you practice,” Haddad says. “The best way to do this is with a mirror so you can see your backswing position at the top of your swing.

When you check your back-swing position you are looking to make sure you have reached the proper position, which means the club is not past parallel. I recommend to my students to rehearse the back position twice before they hit each shot.”

Sure, John Daly may have made a career out of overswinging, but for most, it should be corrected to allow the body to get into repeatable positions in the downswing to gain consistency, according to Storey Creek’s Adam Haddad. Photo by Keith Allison/ Used under Common License Here are the check points Haddad recommends to look for to create a solid backswing position.

If these checkpoints are correct it is not possible to overswing, he says.

1. Both eyes can see the ball, close your eye closest to the target to test this, make sure your open eye never loses sight of the ball.

2. Your spine angle is still relatively vertical from the face

on view, not leaning toward the target.

3. Your weight is noticeably heavier on your rear leg and that your rear knee maintains at least some degree of flexion, also that the knee has not moved to a new position, and does not point in a direction outside the foot 4. Your lever arm (left arm for righthanders) is extended, not collapsed or severely bent at the elbow.

Pipeline politics run deep in B.C. This is the fourth story in a five-part series on the issues surrounding Kinder Morgan’s proposed expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline, investigating the history, science, Indigenous reaction, politics and economics of the controversial project.

T

he proposal to twin the Trans Mountain pipeline, now owned by Kinder Morgan Canada, was first made in 2013 to the National Energy Board. It was enmeshed in politics from the day it was announced.

The Trans Mountain project was an important factor in the 2013 provincial election.

The ruling BC Liberal Party’s campaign centred around job creation through projects such as the Site C dam and LNG plants, and the NDP opposition to Kinder Morgan was used to demonstrate that the party opposed resource projects which created jobs.

The NDP position hurt many of its candidates – incumbent MLA Harry Lali, who lost his Fraser-Nicola seat by 600 votes, said it cost him the election.

The Trans Mountain project also was the subject of opposition in the 2014 municipal election campaigns, most notably in Burnaby and Vancouver.

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan and his Burnaby Citizens Association (which controls all nine seats on Burnaby council) are strongly opposed to the proposal.

So is Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, whose Vision Vancouver was elected with a reduced majority of seats on Vancouver council.

The project was approved by the National Energy Board and the federal government in 2016. Despite the approvals, the pipeline was again a key polit-

ical topic during the 2017 provincial election, and particularly in negotiations afterwards that led to NDP leader John Horgan becoming premier.

The BC Liberals won the most seats in the election, 43. The NDP won 41, and the Green Party, with three, has the balance of power.

The NDP had campaigned against the pipeline, with Horgan vowing during the campaign that he would “use every tool in the toolbox” to stop it. The Green Party also opposed it. Both cited climate change, oil spill worries and a need to move towards more renewable energy sources.

The BC Liberal government, after putting forward five conditions it wanted fulfilled, eventually agreed to support the project.

The Green Party was put in the position where it could effectively choose the government. Party leader Andrew Weaver negotiated with both Horgan and BC Liberal leader Christy Clark, and eventually signed a formal agreement to support the NDP. The agreement states that an NDP government will: “Immediately employ every tool available to the new government to stop the expansion of the Kinder Morgan pipeline, the seven-fold increase in tanker traffic on our coast, and the transportation of raw bitumen through our province.”

The NDP government delivered, with Environment Minister George Heyman proposing new regulations to subject all shipments of bitumen through B.C. to provincial laws.

The B.C. government has taken those proposed regulations to the B.C. Court of Appeal in a reference case. The Heyman proposal led to the bitter fight between Alberta and B.C. (both

CAMPBELL RIVER - QUADRA ISLAND of which have NDP governments) and to a temporary ban on B.C. wine sales in Alberta.

While the Alberta government has backed off on the wine boycott for now, it has promised more sanctions if the court ruling favours the B.C. position. At the same time, the federal government has vowed the pipeline will be built.

Kinder Morgan, for its part, suspended

non-essential spending on the project and gave May 31 as a deadline for assurance that the pipeline will not face further court delays and financial uncertainty.

That deadline prompted Ottawa to act. On May 29, Morneau announced that the federal government would buy the existing project and take over the obligation to twin it. Its plan is to eventu-

ally sell it to private investors, or a combination of governments, Indigenous groups and other investors.

Morneau had said May 16 the government would cover any extra costs that Kinder Morgan Canada had to assume due to the B.C. government’s opposition to the pipeline. Negotiations continued after that announcement, with the full takeover the result.

John Hart Generating Station Replacement Project Community event - September 16

The underground John Hart powerhouse.

YOU’RE INVITED On September 16, BC Hydro and InPower BC, the project contractor, are pleased to invite you to the fourth and final John Hart Generating Station Replacement Project community event. This will be a unique opportunity to see the new facility before construction completes in October. This year you will be able to go underground to see the powerhouse.

Must get tickets in advance New this year is the tickets. In past years there were no tickets and it was first come, first serve to get on a bus to the project site.

This time we are going underground and we expect a lot of interest. The limited 1,240 tickets will be available July 11 through the Tidemark Theatre via their web site, phone or walk-in box office. The ticket cost is $5 and all proceeds will go to North Island College’s apprenticeship scholarship program.

Tickets must be presented to board one of the 31 bus trips. The buses will leave Shoppers Row, directly in front of Spirit Square and across from the Tidemark Theatre, beginning at 9:30 a.m. and running every 10 minutes until 2:30 p.m. Your ticket will indicate what time your bus will depart.

Logistics and safety The buses will travel to the John Hart site and then go down a large tunnel to the powerhouse. People will then walk through the powerhouse area before boarding the bus to return back downtown. The project team will have a tour guide on each bus. The tour is expected to take about 70 minutes from start to finish.

Construction activity will be shut down for this event so people can walk around the safety defined areas. All ticket holders must be 10 years of age and older. Given the site slope conditions and stairs there are no mobility accommodations; no wheelchairs, crutches, walkers, and similar devices are allowed. There is some walking so people need to be mobile. Sturdy footwear is required.

We look forward to seeing you on September 16.

To learn more check out the monthly John Hart project construction reports at bchydro.com/johnhart. If you have any questions in advance of the event please contact Stephen Watson at steve.watson@bchydro.com or 250 755 4795.

Audet, Larry Wayne

Kostyshyn, Colleen Mary January 29, 1953 – June 4, 2018

January 24, 1970 - June 15, 2018

March 7, 1946 – Campbell River, BC June 14, 2018 – Port Alberni, BC Larry was raised in Campbell River and Kitimat, and then settled in Port Alberni where he raised his family and began his career as a Marine Mechanic. He opened and ran his own business, L.A. Marine Ltd with his wife Sherry in 1987 to 2007. His dream was to travel across Canada on his motorcycle so in 2006 he and Sherry made that trip of a lifetime.

Larry always said I don’t want to wait until I retire to live. And so their lives were filled with cruises, motorcycle tours, road trips to Alberta to visit family and finally a two week get away where they fell in love with a small fishing town in Mexico. That trip turned into a yearly habit. Upon retiring they started driving and visited almost every Mexican state plus Guatemala and Belize; always spending the winter in their beloved Puerto Escondido. They collected many friends along the way, too many to mention.

After a European cruise in 2016, all of the adventure came to a devastating end when Larry was diagnosed with ALS. He faced his death sentence just as he had lived his life with grace and dignity. Larry didn’t want to die and so he regretfully leaves behind his devoted wife of 32 amazing years, Sherry, his beloved sons Corey Wayne and Colyn André (Tara), and his loving grandchildren Emma, Andrew and Sylvie Audet. His brother Len (Laura); his adoring Sulzle/Huether, Audet/Lawlor and Chenard families and his dear chosen family and friends from Chila and Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, Mexico.

Larry was so dearly loved and will leave a huge gap in all of our lives. He had a wonderful relationship with his loving and caring homecare nurses, Colleen, Margaret and Occupational Therapist, Carmen.

A private cremation has been held and a Celebration of his life will take place at 11 am on Saturday, June 23, 2018 at Best Western Barclay, 4277 Stamp Ave, Port Alberni, BC. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the ALS Society of BC. WWW.ALSBC.CA , who faithfully supported Larry with the equipment he needed to allow him the optimal quality of life.

MAYOR Kathryn Jean

Passed away peacefully on June 4, 2018 at Port McNeill & District Hospital after an incredible battle against multiple myeloma.

Colleen was born in Hamilton, Ontario on January 29, 1953. She was the daughter of Steve Kostyshyn and Mary Kostyshyn (Lukasik). Colleen is survived by her partner Alan Moffat, brother Stephen (Claire) Kostyshyn, three sons, Jason (Marlo), Ian (Maritta) and Eric (Amanda) Zimmermann. She will be fondly remembered and missed by her six grandchildren, Justin, Tessa, Kaela, Laci, Eli and Ben Zimmermann, as well as members of the extended Moffat family including Jaylene, Alana (Mark) and daughter Vivien, and Eric.

Known as “Colleen from East of Java”, Colleen will be remembered for her strength and will, her love of family gatherings in the backyard, love of books and for the family record of the most consecutive “29th birthdays”.

As Colleen wished, no public services will be held such that those she touched can have the opportunity to remember her in their own private way.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation of Canada (www.jdrf. ca/) or the charity of your choice would be appreciated by the family.

We’ll see you on the other side of the stars……….

Kate crossed over peacefully with loving family by her side. She leaves behind (her mother) Shirley, (brother) Mike, (sister-in-law) Jenny, (niece) Stephanie, (nephew) Mike and many long time friends, (especially Melanie and Sandra).

Kate and all her family would like to thank Dr. Noel and the great nurses and staff at CRGH, (with an extra thank you to Scott). Kate will be sorely missed by all who knew her. In lieu of flowers, Kate would appreciate any donations to cancer research.

Memories and condolences can be shared with the family at www.chapelofmemories.ca
