Gold for Lengyel Special Olympian posts personal best ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

T

he West Coast is cheering local track star Maxtin Lengyel whose tenacious training yielded two well-deserved medals at the Special Olympics Canada Summer Games.

Lengyel is the first local Special Olympian to compete at the national event, which was held in Antigonish, N.S., from July 31 to Aug. 4.

He earned a gold medal in the 200 metre race and a silver medal as part of Team B.C.’s four-member relay team.

The 16 year-old was thrilled to secure a gold medal by finishing the 200-metre race in just 30.17 seconds, a personal best.

“It was the fastest I have ever ran,” Lengyel told the Westerly News from his family’s hotel room on Monday night. “I felt very strong.”

He said he was both nervous and excited to compete at the event and had a tough time acclimatizing to the “very humid” east coast heat.

“I was drinking lots of water and running my hardest,” he said adding crossing the finish line first was a thrilling experience. “I was very excited because I won a gold medal and I loved it…I pushed myself training for this and that helped me win in the race.”

hen Giordano Corlazzoli finished his kinesiology degree at the University of Victoria last spring, he celebrated with a 50-kilometre run across Victoria.

The 22 year-old Ucluelet local now plans to spend his upcoming, class-free September by running across Vancouver Island.

Corlazzoli has announced he will run approximately 500 kilometres across Vancouver Island, from Port Hardy to Victoria, this fall to raise money for the Raincoast Conservation Foundation’s Safeguard Coastal Carnivores campaign. The campaign was launched in 2005 and aims to purchase commercial trophy hunting tenures within the Great Bear Rainforest in an effort to end trophy hunting in the area.

“I have lived in close proximity to these beautiful creatures my entire life, and find it incredibly sad and unethical that we kill these animals for our own recreation,” Corlazzoli wrote on his fundraising page at CanadaHelps. org. “My hope with this run is to inspire others to take action themselves, allowing us to end commercial trophy hunting in B.C. for good.”

The well-known local runner is a two-time Edge-to-Edge Half Marathon winner in his age group and told the Westerly News he had been looking for a cause to run for when he was inspired by a Safeguard Coastal Carnivores presentation at UVic. “The idea of either running or cycling the Island was already in my head and I was like, ‘Oh, I could do that and fundraise for this organization’,” he said. “It’s inhumane to kill those animals…The only permanent solution to the problem is actually buying these tenures.”

“It’s inhumane to kill those animals.”

– Giordano Corlazzoli He said he plans to cross the Island in 10 running days, covering roughly 32-52 kilometres per day, over a 14-day stretch this fall and added he will have a support vehicle travelling alongside.

“The biggest preparation is just preparing your body to be able to run that much and not get hurt,” he said. “I’m a big runner in general ...I just like pushing the boundaries of what you think is possible of yourself.”

He said that while the Great Bear Rainforest is outside the West Coast, local residents share a passion for protecting wildlife.

“Here, you’re connected to the wildlife in every way. There could be a bear in your backyard, in the bushes, or on the trail you’re running. You almost feel responsible to take care of them more…They’re locals as well and you almost feel responsible in that way to do something to protect them if they’re at risk of being hunted,” he said. “I think the west coast is unique in that it’s got a lot of really great people that care about the environment and what’s around us.”

Corlazzoli is drumming up local interest and support by reaching out to local businesses and said he plans to set up a booth at the Ucluelet Co-op to engage the community.

Anyone wanting to donate to the cause can also do so online through Corlazzoli’s Safeguard Coastal Carnivores fundraising page at www.CanadaHelps.org.

Future bright for young athlete

From A1 Lengyel said he enjoyed meeting other Special Olympians and learning from their coaches and that he’s bringing valuable training tips home with him to continue his training.

“They were very nice people,” he said adding he was proud to represent his home towns on the West Coast, who rallied around him during his training and helped fundraise for his trip to Antigonish.

“I was very excited and happy that I was representing the West Coast,” he said.

“I would like to thank the West Coast, my Mom and everybody who helped… it was very fun going to this.”

Lengyel’s mom Jacqueline Holliday said she and husband Dale were delighted to watch their son compete nationally and ecstatic to see him perform so well.

“When he got that [gold medal], it was this enormous relief that he got to games and was able to feel that success,” she said. “We were absolutely stoked. I actually burst into tears and then this lady from Quebec that was beside us, she’s like, ‘I’m crying and I don’t even know who he is.’”

She said emotional experiences abounded as family members cheered on their athletes alongside each other.

Maxtin Lengyel triumphantly bites down on his Special Olympic gold medal.

“We met parents from all over the country. We became tight with a couple that were from Alberta and it was nice to be able to share experiences,” she said. “It was nice to be part of that community.”

She added the experience exposed Lengyel to other national level coaches and athletes.

“It was an amazing and emotional experience…You just kind of go, ‘Holy crap, the kid is competing on a national level.’ We were really excited,” she said adding that, at just 16 years old, Lengyel’s Olympic future is shining brightly. “The next four years for Maxtin is going to be an even

bigger growing experience,” she said.

“Now we know more about what to do for training and how to prepare for the next one.”

She said the family’s experience was boosted by the passion the Antigonish community put into hosting the event.

“It was unbelievable the amount of support that the athletes were all getting,” she said. “Everywhere in Antigonish were posters about the Special Olympics happening and locals were trying to support all the athletes as well.”

She expressed tremendous gratitude to Port Alberni’s Special Olym-

pic track coach Mike Riddalls, who travelled to the West Coast to train Lengyel and to local trainer Kara Stevens who approached the family last year expressing a desire to work with the Special Olympian.

“She helped him grow and all the training she did was incredible,” Holliday said of Stevens.

She said Lengyel’s employer at West Coast Aquatic Safaris didn’t hesitate to give him time off to compete at the event and that Lengyel received “overwhelming support” from his West Coast communities.

“People were there to really help support him, not just financially, but with the high fives and the, ‘Go Max!’ and seeing him at the track and cheering him on while he was training was just emotional and awesome,” she said. “We’re so grateful for all the help from everybody on the West Coast.”

The family plans to spend a few extra days soaking in the experience before Lengyel returns home to a hero’s welcome.

“When would Max and our family ever have come to the east coast? We can all say we have dipped our feet [and] swam in both the Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean,” Holliday said.

“All because Max worked hard and was given this amazing opportunity.”

Hoedown to slow down cancer Event to raise funds for Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock team

ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

Shine up your dancing boots, West Coast. It’s time for a hoedown.

Tofino paramedic and volunteer firefighter Amanda McRae is hosting a Hoedown to Slow Down Cancer event at the Tofino Legion on Aug. 10 to raise funds for her upcoming Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock Ride.

The party will run Amanda McRae from 5 p.m to midnight.

Little Ronnie’s BBQ has signed on to serve up dinner at the all-ages event, which will include games, a silent auction and door prizes amongst country music and hay bales.

“It’s going to be a good time,” McCrae said.

“People around town are excited…Who doesn’t like a hoedown?

Everyone wants an excuse to get out the cowboy boots.”

“Everyone wants an excuse to get out the cowboy boots.””

– Amanda McRae

She added a mystery member of the West Coast’s B.C. Ambulance team has agreed to have their head shaved for the cause during the event.

Tickets to the hoedown cost $50 and proceeds will go towards McRae’s Tour de Rock fundraising total. She said the West Coast has helped her raise over $3,000 so far and she’s confident her communities’ support will push her past the $10,000 mark.

McRae was thrilled with the kudos and encouragement she received during Ucluelet’s recent Ukee Days festivities and said her fellow volunteer firefighters and B.C. Ambulance teammates have consistently buoyed her Tour de Rock efforts.

She said the West Coast has a knack for stepping up when support is needed.

“We’ve been through everything,” she said. “We’re a family…Everyone is so supportive, through good stuff and bad stuff.”

The Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock team pedals more than 1,000 kilometres across Vancouver Island over a two-week span each fall. The riders visit roughly 30 communities during their ride to raise awareness and funds for paediatric cancer research as well as Camp Goodtimes, a camp that offers support and experiences to families affected by cancer.

This year’s ride will take place from Sept. 22-Oct. 5. The team will pedal into Ucluelet on Sept. 29 and Tofino on Sept. 30.

McRae, who lost her father to cancer in 2017, noted that many West Coasters are, unfortunately, connected to the cause through personal experiences.

“Everybody has a connection, whether it’s their family or friend’s family,” she said.

“No kid should be going through this…It’s unbearable. So here we go riding across the Island to try to fix this; to raise awareness, to find gentler treatments for children [and] to find a cure.”

McCrae is no stranger to cycling as she became a competitive cyclist roughly four years ago and trains year-round but, she said, the 22-member Tour de Rock team’s upcoming daily slogs through all types of weather and terrain will be a tough grind.

The team has increased its training regime in recent weeks and will soon put in a dress-rehearsal ride, cycling roughly three hours a day over five consecutive days.

“That’s going to prepare us for being on the bike day after day after day,” she said.

“The five consecutive ride days are going to be a challenge for some. I don’t think I’ve done five consecutive days, doing three hours before.

That’s new for me. Butts are gonna be sore.”

She added that no matter how sore or tired she gets during the Island-wide ride, she’ll never be short of motivation.

“I’m going to think about the kids that I’ve met through this process,” she said. “I’m going to think about all their treatments and needles and chemo and radiation and that will get me through anything.”

EDITORIAL

Rainbow sidewalks promote open understanding S almon Arm’s rainbow crosswalk appears to be bringing out the worst in that B.C. community.

What was meant to be a symbol of inclusion, a public display of tolerance and caring for individuals who, in many cases, have struggled with issues of identity and discrimination, has become a lightning rod for opposing views.

This has been demonstrated through acts of vandalism and comments on social media ranging from dismissive to outright disgusting.

Most abhorrent was the graffiti scrawled over the three week-old rainbow crosswalk Sunday night, words that have police calling the act a hate crime.

It’s rather telling that the words used in this hate crime borrow from an insular slogan made popular again by the current U.S. president.

Unfortunately, these public displays of intolerance were predictable.

In most cases where communities across B.C. have proceeded to paint a rainbow crosswalk, there has been controversy and division.

And, subsequent to its painting, there has been vandalism.

Here on Vancouver Island, Courtenay’s rainbow crosswalk was vandalized one day after it was installed with burnout marks.

In Nanaimo, a biblical verse was reportedly painted over one of their rainbow crosswalks.

Smithers – burnouts again.

On the mainland, the day after New Westminster’s rainbow crosswalk was unveiled, a 91-year-old man poured white paint on it.

Fort Langley’s was quickly blemished with burnouts.

And so on.

Precedent, however, is no excuse for continuity.

Painting a rainbow crosswalk or flying a flag honouring First Nations territory or are more than political gestures.

They symbolize an openness to learning and understanding more about the world and the people who share it – things that should benefit us all.

Some good news for planeteers out of Ucluelet last week.

The local Co-op grocery store is the proud new owner of an Eco-Growth Model 500 Organic Reactor. Dubbed ‘EGOR™’, the machine can process up to 500-pounds of organic waste per day, including items like coffee cups, wooden stir sticks, bamboo cutlery, and even small bones and deep fryer grease. It then converts the waste into a dry, odourless biofuel. In Nov. 2017, a Regina YMCA unveiled a similar waste-converting device, which it now uses to heat its swimming pool and fuel the building’s boiler system.

According to Ukee Co-op general manager Laurie Gehrke, EGOR will reduce the waste stream of the store by up to 40 per cent. For the immediate future, she plans on talking to community garden groups to see if they can use the soil supplement and, further down the road, the GM hopes to use the biofuel to heat the store.

“We’ll be able to keep the waste from hitting the landfill here and we’ll be able to use it in our own community,” said Gehrke at a staff-training event on Thursday.

“It’s really exciting that this is the first one in British Columbia.”

– Josie Osborne

Tofino Mayor Josie Osborne attended the training session.

“It’s really exciting that this is the first one in British Columbia. I’m really grateful to the Ucluelet Co-op for their vision. They are making a commitment on behalf of the whole Peninsula to prove this technology.

And who knows where we can go with this? It’s exciting,” said Osborne.

Jody Epp and Alistair Haughton from Assured Renewables helped bring the project to fruition.

“We’re hoping this is the first of many on the Peninsula so we can really start reducing the waste from the landfill,” said Epp. “Co-op took the extremely positive step to show the community that this can be done in a very cost-effective and proactive way,” noted Haughton.

Glen Smith from Eco-Growth was part of the Canadian design team out

of Calgary that invented the green technology.

The company currently has 20 waste-converters operational in Calgary, one in Regina, one in Toronto, and now, one at Ucluelet Co-op.

“From concept was less than two years ago. We built 10 or 12 versions of that machine already. We had to get it right. We made a lot of mistakes to get to where we are today,” he said.

“As far as I know, no one has done what we are doing yet. We are just completely dehydrating everything, and what we are ending up with is the dry biomass that is a perfect biofuel for biomass combustion,” he said, adding that part of Eco-Growth’s mandate is to offset fossil fuels.

“The whole technology has revolved around green house gas reduction and using a biomass as a fuel. As soon as you start using biomass as heat you, are green house gas reducing.”

The Ucluelet Co-op is leasing the Eco-Growth machine from Assured Renewables on a four-year term.

Anyone interested in learning more about the technology is encouraged to visit eco-growth.com or contact Jody Epp at jodye@assuredrenewables.ca.

Lantern Festival an illuminating experience

Raincoast Education Society excited to see 18th annual event shine this Sunday ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

“It’s an awesome time.”

ocally crafted lights will illuminate the Tofino Botanical Gardens on Sunday at the Raincoast Education Society’s 18th annual Lantern Festival.

“When it comes to the Lantern Festival, you should expect to have your mind blown, your soul rejuvenated, your senses stimulated and happiness to flood over you,” the society’s executive director Mark Maftei told the Westerly News.

“It’s going to be great. We’re, obviously, really excited.”

There will be no parking at the Gardens

– Mark Maftei during the event, so goers are encouraged to take advantage of a free shuttle, which will be offering rides to and from the festival from Tofino’s Village Green from 7-11 p.m.

Admission will begin at 7:30 p.m. with the trails opening up at 8:30 p.m.

Admission costs $15 and is cash-only at the event.

Children 12 and under can explore the festival for free.

“The Botanical Gardens will be illuminated with 1,000 shimmering candles in hundreds of beautiful, one of a kind, artistic, creative lanterns,” Maftei said.

The festival will include a children’s lantern parade at 8:15 as well as live music and a multimedia art installation created by “Capturing the Coast” photo contest winner Nicolas Teichrob.

“What I think is really cool about the Lantern Festival is you’re going down all these little paths and you never know what’s around the next corner. It’s always something different. Whether it’s some crazy lantern or whether it’s someone doing some kind of per-

Maftei said approximately 1,200 people attended last year’s festival and that the event is the society’s largest annual fundraiser with proceeds going towards free educational programming throughout the West Coast.

Anyone wanting to create their own lantern to bring to the festival can build one at daily workshops being offered at the Raincoast Education Society’s office inside the Botanical Gardens Ecolodge building from 12:30-5 p.m., Aug. 6-10.

Protecting baby toads at Cadillac Lake Barriers and signage erected to defend species at risk

“The toadlets will fill the entire area once they’ve all emerged.”

– Barbara Beasley

ANDREW BAILEY andrew.bailey@westerlynews.ca

The Toquaht First Nation has partnered with the Wetland Stewards for Clayoquot and Barkley Sound to protect baby toads from being trampled at an abandoned mine site that’s become a popular recreation destination.

Armed with funding from B.C.’s Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation, the partners have installed barriers and educational signage around Cadillac Lake, where tiny western toadlets, roughly the size of a fingernail, are emerging and making their way to the forest.

“It’s interesting because they blasted this big, deep, iron ore mine and when they abandoned it in the 1960’s it then became this beautiful little lake…It’s a neat habitat. It’s, kind of, unusual for us to protect what was an iron ore

Cadillac Lake is believed to be one Beasley of the Wetland Stewards for Clayoquot of just six active western toad habitats on the West Coast and one of only 30 on Vancouver and Barkley Sound.

Island, according to Beasley. She said Cadillac Lake is a popular recreational spot for visitors, who pose a significant threat to the emerging toadlets in July and August.

“The toadlets will fill the entire area once they’ve all emerged. People need to be really careful where they’re stepping and going,” Beasley said.

“We still want people to be able to stop there, have a picnic and go for a swim, but we don’t want people to trample the toads.”

She said all dogs must be leashed in the area to avoid disrupting the toadlets and that humans must also leave the tiny amphibians alone.

“We know that there have been incidences where kids have brought them back in buckets and then tried to release them or played with them,” she said. “Leave them in the wild.”

HERITAGE COLUMN

Princess Maquinna was a lifeline for Ukee

Binnacle on display at Ucluelet District Office and ready to shine at future museum The ships servicing the west coast were a lifeline to the small communities and outposts.

A link to the outside world, they carried mail, supplies and passengers. Steamship arrivals were eagerly anticipated. Schedules had to be flexible, as weather conditions, tides and extra stops all affected arrival times.

The Maude was the first ship on the regular west coast steamship run, starting in 1897. She was followed by the Willipa and the Queen City.

In 1901 the Canadian Pacific Railway bought all the steamers owned by the B.C. Coastal Steamship service. The most dangerous routes they served were along Vancouver Island’s west coast.

In 1902 the Willipa gave up her route, and was replaced by the Tees in 1903. Sometimes referred to as a wallowing tub, the Tees sat low in the water in rough seas. Many a sailor succumbed to sea sickness aboard the Tees, a.k.a. the “Holy Roller”.

The west coast route needed a bigger and better ship. The Princess Maquinna, built in Victoria, was quite a contrast to the wallowing Tees. 244 feet long and weighing 1777 tons, she was the largest steel vessel built in B.C. up to that time. She was fittingly named for a princess, daughter of Chief Maquinna, powerful ruler of the Nootka. The Princess Maquinna left Victoria on her maiden voyage on July 20, 1913. Cheering crowds welcomed the new ship at each stop along the coast.

Shirley Captain Edward Gillam, former skipper of the Tees, commanded the Maquinna for her first 16 years.

He was a master at using the piercing whistle to navigate in fog, gauging location by the whistle’s echo. His finely tuned ear was also noted in his musical ability. At gatherings in small outposts, Capt. Gillam played dance music with his violin. He also played a convincing Santa Claus at Christmas.

The Maquinna earned the monikers “the Good Ship Maquinna”, ‘Old Faithful’ and ‘Old Reliable’. Her skippers and crewmen were reliable as well. Certified deep-sea sailors, they ably dealt with wild weather, heavy seas and a treacherous coastline.

In 1929 a new steamer, the Princess Norah, was brought over from Scotland to supplement coastal access. Her main task was to transport tourists on west coast excursions.

Captain Gillam skippered the Martin new ship for just three weeks before passing away from a head injury at the age of 65. He had fallen off a ladder aboard the Princess Norah in heavy seas off Tofino.

His presence was sadly missed all along the coast.

By 1952 big changes were happening on the west coast. Large packers were transporting fish. Some communities (although not yet

Ucluelet), were accessed by roads, enabling freight truck transport. Many passengers chose travel by plane rather than ship. Operating the Maquinna went from the black into the red. She needed repairs, and it was not financially viable.

When the Maquinna left Victoria on Sept.

4th, 1952 her boilers gave out and she limped to a nearby dock. “Old Reliable” had finally worn out. In 1953 she was stripped down, converted to an ore carrier, and renamed the Taku. In 1962 she was towed to False Creek and cut up for metal. The Good Ship Maquinna was no more, but she left cherished memories of a beloved west coast legend. The binnacle from the Maquinna was given to the Ucluelet Sea Cadets and is now under the care of the Ucluelet and Area Historical Society. It is on display at the District Office, until our dream of a Ucluelet museum becomes a reality.

Doing so may endear you to others. It may seem like you’re putting all your cards on the table, but you’re showing you’re genuine.

GEMINI Toning things down is not necessarily your style, Gemini. But this week you may want to keep a few details to yourself. Maintain a low profile for the next few days.

SAGITTARIUS You are wondering if you should play it safe or dance closer to the edge this week, Sagittarius. It may be because you are feeling trapped by routine. Change can be good.

CAPRICORN Capricorn, you want to be there for all the people who may need your assistance. But avoid stretching yourself too thin so you can approach each situation energetically.

AQUARIUS Choose your battles, Aquarius. There are not enough hours in the day to be an activist for every cause. Only select the ones that you truly feel strongly about.

PISCES Try not to record every moment on social media, Pisces. It’s good to leave an aura of mystery from time to time and enjoy the moments.

ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS PHOTO

Flames from the wildfire that broke out late B.C. Day near Great Central Lake can be seen in the early-morning hours of Tuesday, Aug. 7.

Wildfire at Great Central Lake Fire crews from the B.C. Wildfire Service and Sproat Lake Volunteer Fire Department have a good handle on a two-hectare fire burning on Turtle Lake Road east of Great Central Lake after battling the small blaze overnight.

A 10-person crew from Sproat Lake VFD and three B.C. wildfire crew members were on scene shortly after 12:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 7 after receiving multiple reports of the fire approximately 20 kilometres west of Port Alberni. Sproat Lake also responded with an engine, a tanker and support truck on the Coastal Fire Centre’s request, fire Chief Mike Cann said.

The fire is burning in slash in an area that was logged late last fall or earlier this spring, Cann said. “There had been no industry activity in here for a while,” he added.

Although a definitive cause for the fire has not been determined, the Coastal Fire Centre is reporting that it is human-caused. “That’s what forestry is saying and the timber holder company is saying, is it’s person-caused, but it’s under investigation,” Cann said. He did not name the timber company.

Fighting a forest fire in the bush in the middle of the night is a challenge, Cann said. “The ground wasn’t too bad. It was dark and we worked slowly and carefully.”

The wind was calm at night, and that worked in the crews’ favour, he added. “That was a really good thing for us. The weather cooperated for us.”

Calls started coming in from Port Alberni late Monday, Aug. 6 that people could see flames out toward the Alberni Valley Regional Airport. It turned out the wildfire was burning east of Great Central Lake, between the lake and the airport. People in Port Alberni were posting on social media that they could see the flames from nearly 20 kilometres away.

ISLAND IN BRIEF

“It’s a very small fire,” said Coastal Fire Centre Fire Information Officer Donna MacPherson on Tuesday morning.

Crews from Sproat Lake Volunteer Fire Dept. and B.C. Wildfire crews were still working in the area as of late Tuesday morning.

Brad Edgett, the executive director of the Mary Winspear Centre, said he had been in contact with local auction houses and will be contacting pawn shops about the stolen sculpture. The sculpture, which belongs to the Mary Winspear Centre, was the most expensive piece in the show, and he said it was clear the thief had “cased the joint and knew what they were doing.”

“It’s obviously incredibly brazen that somebody in broad daylight would target [the sculpture],” said Edgett.

He said the Centre has increased its security measures in light of the theft.

Anyone with any information on the theft are asked to call Crime Stoppers or Sidney/North Saanich RCMP and quote file number 2018-4195. h – www.peninsulanewsreview.com

Sculpture stolen from Sidney art show The Mary Winspear Centre was the target of a daylight robbery when a thief made off with a sculpture worth $20-$40,000.

The sculpture, part of Sidney’s Sculpture by the Sea summer art show, was made by Vancouver-area artist Lyle Sopel and features quartz crystal bears, a tree made from tiger eye, a quartz fish, and sits on a base made of B.C. jade. In a media release from Sidney North Saanich RCMP, the sculpture was stolen from the Mary Winspear Centre on Beacon Ave. between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Friday Aug. 3 2018.

According to Cpl. Chris Manseau, the sculpture is 14 inches tall, 8 inches wide, 8 inches deep, and weighs 25 pounds. The sculpture has a unique serial number so it can be identified.

Sidney Sculpture by the Sea is a collaborative arts event with the Town of Sidney, Mary Winspear Centre, Sidney Museum and the Vancouver Island Sculpture Guild. The contemporary sculpture display opened on July 8 and will continue until early September.

Firefighters rescue dog on rooftop A doggy in distress was rescued by firefighters on Thursday evening after it apparently wandered out an open window onto the third-story roof of a hotel. Tammy Jordan captured photos of the scene as it unfolded at Painter’s Lodge. She was about to catch a water taxi when she noticed “quite a commotion” on a rooftop of the popular resort hotel, which is located in North Campbell River.

“Some ladies staying at Painter’s Lodge had their windows open and their dog Tess walked out onto the roof,” said Jordan in an email to the Mirror.

“The ladies tried to pick up the dog and bring it back in on their own but were unable to due to the steep pitch of the roof.”

The Campbell River Fire Department responded to a call for help around 7:40 p.m., and firefighter Chris Schulte accompanied the dog’s owner in the bucket of a tower truck to retrieve the animal, said Thomas Doherty, chief of the Campbell River Fire Department..
