Canyon View Trail loop to open by end of summer The old John Hart powerhouse is being removed down to the ground level.

Once complete and the area cleaned up, the Canyon View Trail will be re-established through this area later this summer.

Powerhouse to be flattened

BC Hydro says they have some good plans for the Canyon View Trail besides having it re-established and open at the old powerhouse site by late summer.

Plans include not just the trail going back near the river on Hydro property, but also a nice lookout with interpretative panels and two totems.

“The Canyon View Trail was actually the top community point of interest or concern during our John Hart project planning process, and we’re quite excited for the community and those trail users about how this will all look when we’re finished,” said BC Hydro spokesperson Stephen Watson.

“The powerhouse is currently being removed down to the ground level, and then once done and along the front of it, there will be a nice lookout area for people to look downstream.

“Within the lookout there will also be five large interpretive panels to describe the facility and operations, fish, and First Nations, including

the meaning behind the two new totems we’ll be receiving.”

The We Wai Kai Nation and Wei Wai Kum Nation are providing two totems within the lookout and they will be facing the river.

The trail will pass through a shortlength fenced security corridor, where the old powerhouse once stood, to the foot of the hill of the old penstock corridor. From there it will go up some stairs before cutting across northward and above the new tunnel outlet area, and join into the existing Canyon View Trail.

“We’re also refreshing the area around the public parking lot by the river, and the trail to the old powerhouse area,” said Watson.

“That includes wayward signage such as maps, and more interpretive panels within a new and an existing kiosk.”

The section of the Canyon View Trail, which was re-routed to the temporary Station View Trail, that went past the three John Hart surge towers contin-

ues to be closed off as work advances in removing the old above-ground hydroelectric facility. People can continue to walk the trail up or down either side of the Campbell River.

The Station View Trail will be decommissioned, as originally planned, this fall.

BC Hydro is also looking at restoring public river access near the old powerhouse outlets, on the right bank of the river. That public access may be re-established by early fall 2019.

Originally, people could enter the river near the entrance to the canyon, off a rock outcrop, just upstream of the old powerhouse.

Watson noted that there will be no swimming or tubing allowed in the area of the old powerhouse because of safety risks from the six old draft tubes and the downstream rocks on the right bank of the river, and to lessen the disturbance to salmon habitat as the old powerhouse discharge area will likely be a calm holding area for salmon during the summer.

Watson says Hydro has been consulting about the trails and river access with First Nations, and working with the two-dozen member Campbell River Hydroelectric Facilities Liaison Committee, including representatives from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, City of Campbell River, Greenways Land Trust, Campbell River Environmental Committee, to Destiny River Adventures.

Questions about the trail can be directed to steve.watson@bchydro.com.

‘We’re still here, and we’re thriving’: Indigenous culture celebrated in Campbell River DAVID GORDON KOCH Campbell River Mirror

Hundreds gathered in the Kwanwatsi Big House in Campbell River on Friday morning before marching to Spirit Square for an afternoon of celebrations marking Indigenous Peoples Day. Avis O’Brien, a Courtenay resident with Haida and We Wai Kai ancestry, led a group called Xyuu Xyahl Gaang.nga, which translates to the Southeast Wind Dancers. The intergenerational group sang and performed a number of traditional Haida dances.

O’Brien stressed the theme of resilience following years of cultural repression.

“We’re still here,” said O’Brien. “And we’re thriving.”

O’Brien said the group was born of a vision of children growing up connected to their culture, even if they’re living away from their traditional territories.

“For our children to grow up connected to their songs, their dances, the ceremonies, the spirit of their ancestors, it’s really important in healing intergenerational trauma,” she said, noting that her generation and the previous one were severely impacted by colonization and residential schools.

“I didn’t grow up in culture,” she said.

For her children, it’s different. In Spirit Square, the mother of two cradled her 20-month-old daughter K’yuusda Davidson, both of them wearing traditional woven Haida caps, as cultural celebrations took place.

“We’re healing intergenerational trauma, one generation at a time,” said O’Brien, who works with the John Howard Society’s Campbell River chapter in a restorative justice program for youth.

At a table in Spirit Square, O’Brien displayed items that she uses in cultural empowerment work for Indigenous youth, including a bear skin from Haida Gwaii.

It was formerly used in healing ceremonies related to missing and murdered Indigenous women on Highway 16, often called the Highway of Tears, in northern B.C. “This bear did a lot of healing for that movement,” she said.

Performers and speakers from several First Nations were involved in Friday’s events, including from as far as Alberta. Shawn Decaire of We Wai Kai’s Cape Mudge band, who emceed the Big House celebrations before leading marchers through the city streets, said that it’s important to recognize people from all First Nations living in Campbell River, a central hub for Indigenous people.

“We may call Campbell River home, and it is home of the Laichwiltach people, (but) it is still a central hub for all people here,” said Decaire, who works with the Laichwiltach Family Life Society. “We have many nations in Campbell River that aren’t just Laichwiltach, like Haida Gwaii, Cree, Heiltsuk, Nuchatlaht, Coast Salish. There’s so many nations here, and we want to honour them all.”

The event at Spirit Square featured music, artwork, information booths, activities and food, including bannock and plates of salmon.

Campbell River man airlifted to Victoria after dirt bike incident DAVID GORDON KOCH Campbell River Mirror

A Campbell River man is in a medically-induced coma after a serious dirt biking incident on Saturday near Brewster Lake.

As of Monday afternoon, Scott “Danger Cat” Thompson is in the intensive care unit at Victoria General Hospital, where his spleen was removed in an emergency procedure. He’s currently awaiting a second surgery.

He’s known as a funny and kind person, said Alexis Cawdell, a friend of Thompson who helped set up a GoFundMe to support his recovery.

“He’s very loving… he’d drop anything to help anybody,” said Cawdell. “He’s just an all-around really good guy.”

A statement on the GoFundMe page said that Thompson, a forest engineer, was airlifted to hospital after his injuries were found to be

“Upon medical observation including X-rays and CT scans, it was revealed that he had broken all or most of his ribs on the left side of his body, punctured his left lung and lacerated his spleen,” the statement said.

The induced coma is necessary to prevent Thompson from rolling over, since this would cause his broken ribs to further damage his lung, Cawdell said.

It’s still unclear how long his recovery will take, but it could be a long haul for Thompson.

“He won’t be able to work for who knows how long,” said Cawdell.

By Monday afternoon, the GoFundMe campaign had raised more than $3,000.

“All and any donations are greatly appreciated,” the statement on the GoFundMe page said. “We know Scott will appreciate the love and support from everyone.”

Project Watershed plants eelgrass off of Miracle Beach Provincial Park If you were at Miracle Beach Park over the weekend, you may have noticed a dive boat and divers working just offshore.

The divers were working on transplanting subtidal eelgrass in barren areas off of the park. The project is part of a larger coastal restoration project being led by the Comox Valley Project Watershed.

Recently, Project Watershed completed a coastal mapping inventory of 120 kilometres of coastline, from the Oyster River estuary to the Annie Creek watershed.

The objective of this work was to assess changes in distribution of nearshore eelgrass, saltmarsh and kelp habitats in order to prioritize sites for restoration. It was determined that the subtidal area off of Miracle Beach Park was a good candidate for an eelgrass restoration project. This site was prioritized due to the close proximity of healthy eelgrass beds, where donor stock could be harvested from, as well as the fact that the area already has some protection, due to the adjacent upland park.

Divers harvested eelgrass shoots from lush beds near the restoration site. The eelgrass was then transported via boat to the Oyster River/Pacific Playgrounds marina where volunteers will prepare the shoots with anchors for the divers to transplant.

A total transplant of 1,000 m2 is planned, dived into five 200 m2 plots. Post-transplant,

A crew of Project Watershed volunteers prepares eelgrass for transplanting, at the Pacific Playgrounds Marina.

Greenway Loop event attracts hundreds of red-clad supporters More than 100 people showed up to ride or walk the Greenway Loop or part of it ALISTAIR TAYLOR Campbell River Mirror

They came on wheels and they came in walking shoes but what’s more, they came dressed in red to celebrate Campbell River’s Greenways Loop.

On Friday, June 21, more than 200 people showed up to ride or walk the Greenway Loop or part of it in an effort to draw attention to the existence of the 25 km loop which circumnavigates Campbell River using the Seawalk along the foreshore then connecting with the ERT Road and the Rail Trail in the Beaver Lodge Lands and the trail along Jubilee Parkway in the south before rejoining the southern end of the Seawalk.

Event organizers say the loop system is meant to encourage active and environmentally-friendly lifestyles while also boosting tourism, adding that it’s within 5 km of nearly all homes in Campbell River, making it useful for commuters.

The Greenways Loop has been in the works for years, built with contributions from the city and groups including the Greenways Land Trust and Rotary. But many people are unaware that it exists.

Aerial drone specialists SuavAir were on hand to film the event from the air, capturing the dramatically red-clad participants on video.

Aquarium holding summer camps for ‘marine explorers’ MIKE CHOUINARD Campbell River Mirror

The Discovery Passage Aquarium is once again offering a fun way for kids to learn more about local marine life.

It will be holding its summer camps starting the week of July 8, running Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“They’re 30-hour camps,” says Hailee Arlitt, who is running the camps with Brianna Marcoux. The two have also been looking after school programs in the aquarium’s Explorer Lab starting in mid-May. The summer camps are aimed at children ages seven to 11.

“We’re a little lenient on it,” says Marcoux.

If a child is a little younger but mature, they might be able to take part. The age limit is because of the guidelines around the material they have and the age group for which it is designed. In other words, the concepts aren’t really geared for three-year-olds.

There will be five camps “for marine explorers” throughout the summer, three focusing on science and two on art, all of which focus on marine life.

“We want to teach them some cool stuff about the ocean,” Marcoux says.

Arlitt ran the camps last year and says they are revising the content a bit from last summer.

“We are keeping some things similar,” she says, citing examples such as the field trips.

However, they want to keep the material

Hailee Arlitt (left) and Briana Marcoux will welcome kids to this year’s summer camps at the Discovery Passage Aquarium and its Explorer Lab. Photo by Mike Chouinard/Campbell River Mirror fresh to encourage kids to come back year after year. Breaking the camps into science and art camps is one example of something new this time. The science-themed camps will involve some non-invasive experiments.

For example, one will be a test in which they flip different species of star fish on their backs and see how long they take to flip over again. After this, they will discuss reasons why some species might be more adept than others. Another activity will be looking at plankton under microscopes, comparing life at low and high tide.

“We put it up on the TV, so they can look and they can learn about how to identify some of the other creatures,” Marcoux says.

Other demonstrations might look at predator-prey relationships and talk about the food chain.

For the art camps, one focus will on how to use recycled materials as a way to help keep the ocean clean.

“We’re going to be doing some crafts that are re-using plastic bottles and paper cups,” she says. “We have lots and lots of really

cool colouring sheets.”

For example, the kids can make an orca out of a plastic bottle or an octopus from a paper cup. Each camp will also spend a day at Willow Point Reef.

“That is my favourite field trip, by far,” says Arlitt.

At the reef, the science camps will be making scientific drawings, which will focus a lot of marine life anatomy. The art camps will look more at the esthetics of drawing what the kids see, though it will still involve learning about the animals, but from a different vantage point.

“It’s more of a creative approach,” adds Arlitt.

Both camps will do “species showcases” with a PowerPoint presentation to spur discussion about a specific animal. The kids will also get to do a couple of aquarium visits during the week, and each camp will get one pool day where the kids get to be the marine life at the outdoor pool.

“They get to have some wholesome fun,” says Arlitt.

Re-discover Painter’s Lodge: Making memories for 90 years New menus, new vision highlight anniversary year

Chef Kevin Cooper on the left and general manager Dikran Zabunyan on the right.

Celebrating 90 years overlooking Discovery Passage from the Campbell River shoreline, Painter’s Lodge has long been a premier north Island destination for outdoor enthusiasts, artists and locals looking to get away from it all, close to home.

“Painter’s Lodge has this amazing history – iconic is the word – and we have many returning guests who have shared those memories with us. We’re excited to start making new memories with them and new guests who are discovering the lodge today,” says general manager Dikran Zabunyan.

Most recently at the Rockwater Resort on the Sunshine Coast, which he helped return to an award-winning destination, Zabunyan is excited about the potential of Painter’s and April Point lodges, two unique but complementary resorts.

“Campbell River enjoys a world-class location, and here at Painter’s Lodge we have the potential to be a top destination for visitors and weddings.”

His vision doesn’t end with guests.

“We have some wonderful, loyal staff and we want to be the employer of choice on Northern Vancouver Island,” Zabunyan says, pointing to one of the key members of the leadership team, Executive Chef Kevin Cooper.

Dining 3 ways at Painter’s Lodge With its relaxed, romantic atmosphere and spectacular ocean views, Legends Dining Room brings an innovative Island-inspired approach to Mediterranean and French cuisine.

Dining has always been a celebrated element of Painter’s Lodge and today it comes with a fresh, modern approach under Cooper’s hand.

In the Fireside Lounge, unwind with stunning views over Discovery Passage and delicious West Coast tapas, or head to the relaxed bistro feel of the seaside Tyee Pub; both have also extended their beverage menus to also reflect the local flavours of BC breweries, wineries and distilleries.

After training in France, Cooper built his resume in the kitchens of such renowned properties as Great Estates Okanagan and Priddis Greens Golf and Country Club in Calgary.

“We unschool. They follow what they’re interested in and it allows their curiosity to flourish.”

Like many “unschoolers,” my own experience with homeschooling was unique in the amount of time I spent, well, anywhere but at home.

I was always outside, on a bike or, for many years from the age of eight, on a horse.

If I wasn’t riding either of those vehicles I was working at the barn, or playing

with our dog in the yard, or dancing or something. Little of my time was spent being forcibly sat at the kitchen table rattling off math problems or dates in history. I was terrified to start at Carihi because I thought that the latter fact would cause my performance to tank.

However, my mother actually did me a great service in not forcing work from me, because it taught me to work for myself. I sat down at Carihi with the ability to be re-

sponsible for using my time and materials and for focusing on the things I knew were important, and the ability to communicate with teachers and students alike. I was never chained to a desk for seven hours a day and forced to spit out facts. I was allowed to find interests and explore them, I was allowed to ask questions, and I was allowed to get distracted.

And every day those allowances are proven more invaluable.

Lack of sleep a blight on young minds I

t’s a tale as old as time.

Students aren’t getting as much sleep as our growing minds need to develop properly, retain information, and continue to function.

Being surrounded by students who can only muster enough energy to murmur answers in my general direction makes me wonder just how much sleep they’re actually getting every night, and why this problem never seems to disappear.

If this is how the next working generation is being taught to make it through a long week, or just barely achieve the grades they need for university, how will we be able to keep up with the knowledge and skill-set needed to succeed in life?

The majority of teens I spoke to when researching this piece say that they’re getting around between seven and nine hours of sleep every night, which is just shy of the 8-10 hours recommended by The National Sleep Foundation (NSF). Many are getting much less than that.

“I think my sleeping habits have a huge affect on the rest of my day,” says Carihi student Talia Hadikin. “If I don’t get enough sleep, I find it difficult to concentrate on many tasks, and … find myself moody and more emotional than normal.”

Personally, I’m a member of the extremely-irritable-and-unpleasant crowd if I’m running on less than eight hours of sleep, so losing even an hour or two means that my whole routine will be off.

Alternatively, some students don’t see having an off-night as being a cause of dysfunction throughout the days that follow.

Carihi student and Mirror contributor Anna Buck says that unless sleep loss becomes a recurring problem, she “can get no sleep at all one night and the following day isn’t affected.”

However, Buck agrees that repetitive disruptions do cause noticeable changes to her daily life, saying “if I go more than one or two sleepless nights in a row, it

I asked around, and some of my classmates have found their own tried and true methods to setting a sleep routine that actually works.

Another key factor in maintaining a normal sleep schedule is engaging in frequent exercise, preferably in the morning or early afternoon.

Sleep deprivation is a huge problem, and often ends up turning regular teenagers into zombies, rather than consistently having the energy and motivation necessary to thrive in our academic and personal lives.

But there are tons of ways for us to ensure we’re getting as much sleep as we possibly can in the time frames we’re given. It’s truly just a matter of finding the tricks that work for each individual, as the effectiveness of techniques will vary depending on the person.

As students, we have been equipped with numerous methods to increase the quality and quantity of restful hours we get on a daily basis, CARGO HOTLINE now is the time 778-431-0033 so to test some out, 1608 Ryan Rd.

So what about things like vitamins or nighttime teas, which claim to assist the body in relaxing for sleep and producing the appropriate hormones to kickstart this process?

Buck credits her steady sleep patterns to the use of supplemental melatonin, which she takes before bed.

“I often find this helpful … [and] my melatonin levels often benefit from the boost. However, I sometimes find that taking it more often than necessary decreases its effectiveness, but I’m not sure why that is,” She adds.

of time, the body’s immune function, rehabilitative processes, and cognitive abilities (such as memory and ability to take in new information).

This lack of rest isn’t just making us grumpy, it’s actually hurting our psychological development; without completing a full REM cycle (Rapid Eye Movement, used to address biological function while we’re unconscious), there is no way for our brains to retain all of the information gathered throughout the day, which poses a problem when it comes to keeping up with our academics.

Have a big test tomorrow but stayed up half of the night studying? Well, it turns out that cramming instead of sleeping can actually be worse for your mind than sleeping, according to Science Daily. “All-nighters activate short-term, not long-term memory.”

In addition, David Earnest, PhD and professor at The Texas A&M College of Medicine claims that “your brain loses efficiency with each hour of sleep deprivation,” rendering those last few hours of hard work virtually useless.

Earnest also says “by studying all night, you’re essen-

tially swimming upstream and fighting against your body’s natural rhythms,” and warns students to cherish the time you need to be asleep, as it “rejuvenates by providing an opportunity for the metabolism, body and brain to slow down and recover… it’s crucial that it’s not missed.”

Long-term sleep deprivation also increases the risk of developing a sleep-disorder, such as insomnia, narcolepsy, or sleep paralysis.

The way I see it, this issue can be handled in one of two ways; either we get it together, put a bit of extra effort into our sleep hygiene and daily routines, and start taking care of our mental health.

Or – and I know that this isn’t what students want to hear – we can keep staying up late and waking up early for extended periods of time, eventually running the risk of permanently damaging our internal clocks and compromising our long-term memories.

The choice is yours, but either way, it’s a good idea to evaluate your sleeping patterns and decide if this is the way you want to spend your teenage years.

As for me? I’ll probably be sleeping.

Censorship has no place in public education Jocelyn Diemer Carihi Mirror

here should schools draw the line when it comes to books containing sensitive content matter or controversial topics?

This is a question that I’ve been thinking about quite a bit lately.

Harper Lee’s 1960 novel To Kill a Mockingbird has long been a staple in high school English classrooms.

However, it has also had a history full of controversy, for its use of derogatory language and depictions of violence. Just last year, an Ontario school board made the decision to limit how the novel could be taught, writing in a memo that teachers would be required to use a “critical anti-oppression lens” if they chose to use the book in their classrooms.

I wholeheartedly agree with this idea of cultural responsibility. In an age when marginalized groups are beginning to reclaim slurs that have historically been used against them, it’s important for others who are not a part of those groups to understand the complex meaning behind these words, and discussing them in a literary context is an excellent way to start.

That said, the issue of censorship versus sensitivity doesn’t only apply to discussions of violence and racism.

In March 2017 Netflix debuted a television show

Opinion based on Jay Asher’s bestselling 2007 novel Thirteen Reasons Why. The novel – and then television series – follows a young man named Clay as he listens to a series of twelve cassette tapes left behind by a recently deceased girl named Hannah.

The tapes explain Hannah’s thirteen reasons for commiting suicide, and name twelve different people who she deems responsible for her death.

Netflix received a huge onslaught of criticism after the release of the first season of the show, the final episode of which depicted Hannah’s suicide in graphic detail.

Psychiatrist Mark Sinyor told CBC News that Thirteen Reasons Why “violated several best practices for safe reporting on suicide,” as it “glamorized and romanticized suicide, presented suicide methods, and failed to describe how mental illnesses are treatable.”

Furthermore, the show’s Mature rating was not dissuading younger children from watching it.

In fact, an Edmonton school principal decided to take extreme measures after hearing grade six students discussing the more graphic parts of the show with their classmates.

In April 2017, CBC News reported that Principal Azza Ghali of St. Vincent Elementary School had made the decision to ban all discussion of the show, asking parents to “ let [their children] know that discussion of 13 Reasons Why [was] not permitted at school due to the disturbing subject matter.”

This is where things get difficult when it comes to censorship versus sensitivity, especially when it comes to younger children.

Suicide is an extremely difficult concept to comprehend, especially for elementary-schoolers. It is understandable that school administration did not want their students discussing the show with each other, especially considering the fact that it was impossible to know if students would be receiving follow-up discussions at home with their parents.

On the other hand, it’s important that students learn about mental health issues in a safe and age-appropriate environment, and I believe that schools are an excellent place for this. A show and/or novel like Thirteen

Both To Kill a Mockingbird and Thirteen Reasons Why have both been the source of controversial censorship discussions throughout their literary lifetimes, but both books are available to be signed out at the Carihi Library, as they should be, according to Mirror contributor Jocelyn Diemer. Photo by Jocelyn Diemer Reasons Why could provide an excellent jumping-off point for a discussion about suicide and how to get help.

In the end, when it comes to censorship in schools, I am decidedly against the complete banning of any sort of media. After all, telling children that they’re “not allowed” to read a certain novel or watch a certain show will likely just increase their curiosity about it.

Everyone will, at some point, come into contact with topics such as suicide, racism, and violence, and what better place to explore, question, and learn about these ideas than in a school library or classroom?

That said, when it comes to teaching controversial pieces such as To Kill a Mockingbird and Thirteen Reasons Why, educators need to be responsible in their actions.

If teachers are intimidated by a certain unit of curriculum, they should bring in experts from the outside to talk to their classes. In the instance of Thirteen Reasons Why, having a counsellor come in and speak to the class about what the novel got wrong about suicide could be extremely valuable.

If this isn’t possible, there is also the option of using a lesson guide prepared by an expert source. For exam-

ple, the Centre for Suicide Prevention in Calgary has prepared a guide to teaching Thirteen Reasons Why that aims to educate on the complexity of suicide as well as equipping students to help a friend who may be in crisis.

Teachers might also consider teaching a contrasting novel alongside a difficult or controversial piece. This especially pertinent to novels that discuss forms of discrimination such as racism and homophobia.

The Toronto District School Board has implemented this strategy, and recommends pairing Mildred D. Taylor’s story Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry with To Kill a Mockingbird, because Taylor’s novel is “told from the perspective of a young African-American girl living in the southern United States during the Depression,” and “shows that African Americans did not rely solely on whites to fight their battles against discrimination for them.”

This difference of perspective would allow students reflect critically on how author bias affects the ways that stories are written.

Finally, classrooms should be treated as safe spaces where students feel free to express their ideas and opinions without the fear of teasing from classmates or

punishment from teachers.

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms grants all Canadians the “freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication.”

This must be upheld in classrooms, especially when it comes to teaching controversial issues. Students need to be given the opportunity to question what they’re reading and discuss their opinions with their peers, otherwise they will not be able to form their own beliefs and values. Having a sort of ‘classroom code of conduct’ that outlines the tenants of respect and open mindedness necessary for a good debate could be especially useful in these situations.

I have faith in our school system, and believe that these novels can and should be taught. They are excellent conversation starters, and can lead to important discussions about race, privilege, mental health, and all sorts of other issues.

As it turns out, it’s not about “drawing a line” at all when it comes to controversial topics. Instead we should focus on erasing that line using critical thinking, compassion, and cultural responsibility.

Ravens earn road hardware With the lacrosse season approaching the end, three Campbell River teams traveled out of town to play in tournaments recently and did well.

The Peewee team won gold.

Novice won silver (pictured) and Bantam C won bronze.

The Campbell River Ravens Bantam C lacrosse team made the trek south to compete in the iconic Tim White Tournament in Nanaimo.

The Ravens started strong with commanding 7-1 and 5-1 victories over JDF and Mission. Still dominating in their third game versus Nanaimo, the Ravens drove to an 8-3 advantage into the third period but a late rush from the Timbermen vaulted them to an 8-9 win over the Ravens.

The final day of competition started early with a dominant

showing of 11-4 over the visiting Vancouver team. However, the loss to Nanaimo forced the Ravens into a third place match versus the recently-defeated Vancouver squad that same afternoon.

But against all odds, the short -benched Vancouver team used heart and shear grit to defeat the tired Ravens 6-4 to claim their bronze.

Meanwhile, the Campbell River Ravens peewee took gold in the pop style tournament with a 6-3 win over Kelowna.

The Campbell River Ravens Novice 1 team went over to New Westminster for the Bellie Bowl.

Our View

Plastic ban can set an example It has been widely noted that most of the plastic in the ocean is coming from five Asian countries: Vietnam, Thailand, China, Indonesia and the Philippines. People have questioned whether banning single-use plastics in Canada is even necessary. We live in a society that must take more responsibility for its own actions. We need to think about how we have become such a disposable society, whether we can live with that and, if not, what we can do to effect change.

A small portion of the present generation of young adults are beginning to reject the amount of non-recyclable material we have in our society.

From turning back to glass bottles for milk distribution to bringing their own shopping bags and containers to ‘whole’ food stores, they are trying to find if not a solution, at least a happy medium.

While our country may not be contributing to the Great Pacific garbage patch that keeps growing in the Pacific Ocean halfway between California and Hawaii, we can set an example for the rest of the world. The more people talk about the plastics ban, the more it may catch on elsewhere.

There is no reason Canada cannot be a world leader in that regard.

Elstone is in denial about oldgrowth logging coming to an end, one way or the other. This should be a huge concern for everyone with a job in the woods.

Campbell River firefighters respond to four structure fires in a week

The Campbell River Fire Department responded to four structure fires in the course of a week, including one deemed suspicious, according to Fire Chief Thomas Doherty.

On Friday afternoon, firefighters attended a fire involving an electric smoker on the rear deck of a home on the 600 block of Christopher Road, in the Robron area.

In a post on Twitter, the fire department thanked a neighbour who isolated the power to the smoker.

“When crews arrived, we were met by neighbours who informed us an electric smoker was on fire on the back deck and it was up against the house,” Doherty said in an email. “The homeowners were not home at the time of the fire. The smoker was destroyed as a result of the fire, crews checked for fire extension to the home and found none.”

On Thursday morning, firefighters responded to a report of smoke at another Robron area location, on the 700 block of Galerno Road. This fire was traced to a sauna.

“When crews arrived they found smoke in the basement of the home, the occupants had evacuated safely,” Doherty said in an email. “Firefighters entered the building and located the

fire in a sauna room in the basement. Crews were able to extinguish the fire quickly with minimal damage. Crews then ventilated the home to clear it of smoke.”

Combustible material was left on the sauna heater, and it ignited when the heater was inadvertently turned on, Doherty said. He said the homeowners were able to return home after the smoke was cleared.

Previously there was a fire on Linnea Place, in the Stories Beach area, on the morning of Monday, June 17. The cause of that incident was a cigarette butt in a plastic container.

“The homeowner had put discarded cigarette material into a combustible container on the second-floor deck,” Doherty said in an interview.

Plastic dripped through gaps in the decking to the area below, where it landed on combustibles.

“The homeowner used an extinguisher and some buckets of water to extinguish before we got there,” Doherty said. Crews remained onscene to ensure there was no extension of the fire.

Firefighters responded to a suspicious incident at 1751 Perkins Rd., in North Campbell River, towards midnight on Saturday, June 15.

A fire spread across the ground from a tent to the

exterior vinyl wall of a cabin and into its roof, Doherty said.

“The fire appears to have started in a small sort of a tent camp,” he said. “It spread across the vegetation, burning up the side of the cabin… and into the roof structure.”

The cabin that caught fire was vacant and there were no injuries.

Firefighters were able to prevent major damage to the cabin, Doherty said. The fire also spread to a tree and into the grass of a neighbouring property, but it was brought under control.

The tent didn’t belong to the primary homeowner on the property, who said there were “people frequenting the tent,” according to Doherty.

It’s unclear who owned the tent, he said, adding that “the fire is being treated as suspicious.”

Cst. Maury Tyre of the Campbell River RCMP said in a June 18 email the Perkins Road fire is under investigation.

“It is not clear at this time whether the fire was started by any act of criminality,” Tyre said.

The string of structure fires comes amid very dry conditions and follows record-breaking heat. A full fire ban is now in effect for the city, including beach fires.

Old-growth: Not too late to save what remains Continued from A24

course the percentage that is protected goes up. B.C. could destroy 99 per cent of all old-growth, set aside one per cent, and report 100 per cent is protected. Is this the approach to conservation that British Columbians want?

His sustainability argument is particularly troubling considering B.C.’s oldgrowth forests were looked after by Indigenous peoples for millennia. Indigenous communities made use of forests in hundreds of differ-

ent ways without destroying their ecological integrity.

Instead, B.C. is exporting about 3 million cubic metres of old-growth per year as raw logs, accepting massive environmental losses for minimal economic benefits.

The good news is it is not too late to save what remains of B.C.’s old-growth, restore second-growth forests and transition to truly sustainable forest management. We can still chose to save the web of life that depends on intact forests and move to carefully planned selective logging. This would deliver

“negative emissions” and wood products at the same time, capturing more carbon in our forests than is lost as a result of harvesting.

Creating more jobs with less ecosystem damage per cubic metre of wood deserves our full support. The longer we wait, the harder this change will be. The first step is for industry and government to stop the denial reflected in Elstone and Fletcher’s opinion pieces.

Maximize your summer vacation Summer can fly by. Because summer can sometimes seem to come and go in a flash, it’s important for everyone to make the most of this relaxing time of year.

Vacations from work and school are great ways to make summer memories, and the following are some ways to get even more out of these relaxing breaks from the norm.

• Disconnect for a few days. Truly disconnect from electronic devices for a period of time to give yourself a mental break. Stop answering work emails, avoid social media and turn off reminders of things that do not need your attention while you are on vacation or taking a break.

• Book a trip. It’s not the destination but the opportunity to step away from the norm that can help make a person feel like he or she has truly gotten a break. Get away from your surroundings, if only for a weekend.

Nearby resorts and water parks are great for short jaunts with the kids.

• Take a week off just to relax. Sometimes a person needs to recharge after going on vacation, as planning a trip and then the trip itself can require a lot of work. Staycations or devoting another week to just lounging around or catching up on tasks around the house can ease pressure. Then it’s possible to go back to work or school feeling even more recharged.

• Get out of the house or office. What’s the good of sunny skies and hot temperatures if you do not get to enjoy them? Make it a point to spend time outdoors every day. Go for a midday walk, sit in the park after work lets out or throw the ball around with the kids in the backyard. Sunlight can be great for the mind and body. Doctors with the Heliotherapy, Light, and Skin Research Center at Boston University Medical Center say sunlight triggers the release of serotonin and other hormones associated with a good mood. Increased exposure to sunlight also can regulate circadian rhythms for better sleep. Sunlight can trigger the release of nitric oxide

into blood vessels, helping to lower blood pressure.

• Explore summer programs. Adults and children can try new skills and explore different talents this summer. Sign up for a camp or a class that runs several weeks. This will help stimulate the mind.

• Visit friends and family. Now that schedules have loosened up, take the opportunity to increase time spent with friends or family members, whether they live close by or far away. Make it a point to reconnect with someone who has been out of touch.

Summer is a great time of year to take vacations and reconnect with nature and loved ones.
