ot long ago, Area D Director Brenda Leigh predicted one thing about the amalgamation vote held Saturday. “This turkey isn’t going to fly,” she said in late May. Not only was it incapable of flight, it was plucked, roasted and sent ignominiously into the septic systems the vote was supposedly held to replace. Out of 699 votes, 589, or 84 per cent, said no to becoming a part of the City of Campbell River. They also said no to hooking up to the city’s sewer system, something that would have cost individual property owners over $10,000 including initial hook up fees. Part of the city package was to come to the aid of residents in the area whose septic tanks were failing. But that was something hotly
contested by anti-amalgamation forces. “We’re very happy with the outcome,” said amalgamation opponent Stan Zuke. “We were also happy that our group conducted ourselves in a professional and respectful way.” But Zuke said along with the rejoicing, there was an element of sadness to the vote. “It’s very sad that the local council could not read the people,” he said. “It was obvious how this vote was going to turn out. But council for some reason couldn’t understand that and they went ahead with all the expenses involved in it.” At one time Mayor Walter Jakeway estimated the cost of the referendum was about $200,000. A consultant firm had been hired and three open houses held. See Area D, Page 2.

ith the recent announcement of retention of one wild coho, the summer fishing season will be one of the most productive and active tidal fishing seasons of the past decade. Sport Fishing Institute of BC Executive Director Owen Bird made the announcement following a series of glowing local fishing reports that show near-record chinook and coho fishing in areas up and down the BC coast. “While anglers have a tendency to tell fishing stories, these just happen to be true,” said Bird. “We are seeing chinook and coho

Anglers in Campbell River have been catching daily limits of chinook salmon since late May, anglers in Powell River, the Sunshine Coast and Howe Sound have reported brisk and steady fishing for more than three weeks.

the central coast has been strong for both chinook salmon and halibut and coho fishing is expected to pick up soon. In August, Lower Mainland anglers will get an opportunity to fish for Fraser River sockeye that Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) has estimated will return between seven million and 76 million fish. In a recent study DFO estimated that in 2013, recreational anglers collectively fished for a surprising 1.4 million days in BC coastal waters. The improved fishing opportunities and the large anticipated Fraser River sockeye returns will likely mean that anglers in BC will put even more days on the water in 2014.

Popular Ripple Rock Trail gets revamped and a new bridge COURIER-ISLANDER
T
he Ripple Rock Trail is once again a blast for hikers. The popular trail just north of Campbell River has about 6,500 known users per year, and now has a new bridge and trail surface as well. The section of the trail crossing Menzies Creek, including a suspension bridge, was worn out and in wet weather took a Cirque de Soleil performance to cross. In early 2014, a Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (MFLNRO) did some patch work before deciding on a complete overhaul. Heavy Metal Marine Ltd, based out of Victoria, was awarded the contract to make the 53’ aluminum pedestrian bridge and McGrath Contracting Ltd, from Campbell River, was awarded the work for site access improvements and to install the bridge on concrete abutments, about 850 metres into the 90-minute-long trail. However BC Hydro has a power line right of way and the trail also had some issues with culverts not functioning properly and causing trail erosion. As part of the project, the contractor was to reditch, install new culverts and cap the road with gravel crush. BC Hydro donated $7,000 for the gravel. Continued on page 4.

to have staff investigate how such a process would work. Samson said in discussions with the ombudsperson he found that some material from in-camera sessions really doesn’t have to be kept secret.
“We heard from the ombudsperson when she was up that she said that too often stuff that’s done in camera stays in camera and that there’s no need for it not to be released to the public,” he said.
“The intent here is to get some options, like what comments are to be released? Is their a time frame? How often? Is there any retroactive, do we go back in time or do we start fresh?”

Achieving any targeted rate of return by taking on the least amount of risk should always be the goal. Then one must consider the time frame. Rates of return over the last 12 months for an equity portfolio have been very robust. Should we consider this the norm? A term known as reversion to the mean implies that returns move back towards their historic longterm averages over time. In short, it’s only meaningful to discuss potential rates of return for equity markets over periods of a minimum five and more likely 10 years. There are many strategies designed to provide the illusion that making money in a passive investment portfolio is easy if you only knew what the “experts” knew. Most involve some form of leverage which does magnify gains as well as losses. It didn’t work out so well for the “experts” at Bear Stearns which was sold for pennies on the dollar and later Lehman Brothers who declared bankruptcy after 138 years in business during GFC 2008.

Continued from page 3. “BC Hydro has provided support in the past for the Ripple Rock Trail system, it made sense to do so again given the proximity to our power line that goes to Quadra Island,” says BC Hydro spokesperson, Stephen Watson. “We provided funds towards the gravel work, and we moved the power pole guy wires to allow for access and for the improvements to take place.” Watson says worker safety is extremely important when working around power lines, particularly with heavy equipment, and it was well considered for this project. “My goal since arriving here five years ago was to upgrade this trail to make it a real showcase for the community,” says MFLNRO’s District Recreation Officer, Duncan Mactavish. “One in which residents can take visitors to a very historic site and see views that are pretty special. Everything came together for this upgrade work and I am proud of what we’ve been able to achieve. It looks fantastic and I encourage people to come check it out.” The total project work budget was $60,000. In 2010, through the Job Opportunities Program and with funding from Island Coastal Economic Trust, over $120,000 was put into the trail by constructing boardwalks, bridges, picnic tables, and the installation of stairs at the end of the trail to get visitors up the rock cliff just before the end of the trail.

BUSINESS
Duncan Bay businesses point to signs of bullying Some of the signs will require a crane to take out, businesses say they are merely directional SIAN THOMSON COURIER-ISLANDER
D
uncan Bay Road Industrial Park businesses are heading to city council to stop enforcement of a bylaw they say could destroy their livelihoods. The group of businesses who have received notices to remove their signs or the city will do it for them, will be asking city council to stop the “bullying” that they feel is happening by enforcing bylaws that have been ignored for years. The business owners were told there had been a complaint about the signs, but received no details about the complaint or who made it. Owners of D&T Rebuilders, Flurer Smokery, Schnitzer Steel and ABC Recycling insist the signs are directional, something allowed in the bylaw. Brian and Kelly Flurer of Flurer Smokery located on Menzies Way said that many customers think they are out at Menzies Bay and without cell service, potential customers cannot call for directions, and business is lost. “Basically they get tired of looking and we lose business,” said Brian Flurer, who put up his first sign last year and said he was told to take it down three days later by T-Mar Industries. “We didn’t want to start anything so we took it down, it was handdone and maybe not as nice as it could have been,” he said. “We then had a beautiful, professionally designed sign done and D&T let us put it under their sign. Since the sign went up we have had a 60 per cent growth in local business.” The Flurers said they are known internationally and nationally for their products but locally, most people, up to last year, were unable to find them. “The signs are directional, every one of them have arrows on them directing people to us,” said Dwayne Cawley of D&T. “Yet the city says they are not directional signs but cannot tell us what a directional sign is.” “Without these signs people are just basically driving on the highway,” said Simon Knott of Schnitzer Steel. “These signs are landmarks.” Campbell River City Clerk Peter Wipper said the city received a complaint about the signs and subsequently investigated. “The signs are located on the highway right-of-way, none of them have permits except the sign belonging to Connie Cawley, but that permit expired,” said Wipper, “You cannot put up remote signs in the community unless a permit is issued. You cannot put up a sign on someone else’s property unless they are billboards on First Nations property. So there are two reasons the notices were issued.
You cannot have a sign on property that is not your place of business, and although we are not in the business of enforcing highway laws, we did check with them and there are no valid permits on that corner.” The Cawleys of D&T Rebuilders said they did have a permit and it expired 14 years ago, “ That being said, they didn’t come and take our sign down. We called them some years back and were told they had better things to do than tear people’s business signs down,” they said. “People cannot find our businesses without this signage. What harm are the signs doing?” T-Mar Industries, described by the group as “the big guy on the block” does not have a sign among the other offending ones. George Lambert of T-Mar said that they have not complained and in fact offered Flurer space on their property at the top of the hill to erect a sign. “That never happened of course,” said Lambert. “I told them I wasn’t sure if the city would tell them to get a permit.” “The signs are on city property, it has nothing to do with me,” he said. “Personally I think the city should do here what they do in other industrial parks and put up a group sign in the ‘complex’ indicating who is there. I brought this up several years ago, a couple of planners ago, but I don’t know what their policy is other than they said they don’t do that. It is a pretty arduous process to put a sign up there which is why we don’t have one.” Other than Flurer Smokery’s sign, the rest have been there for over a decade and all would require a crane to lift out from their location. “There are many businesses in Campbell River who have signs off
Duncan Bay Industrial Park tenants are taking a stand against what they call bullying by the city. The businesses have received notice that their long standing signs they say are directional will be taken down by the city because they do not have permits and are on a public right-of-way. They say if the signs come down, so will their businesses. From left, Kelly and Brian Flurer, Simon Knott of Schnitzer Steel, Connie and Dwayne Cawley of D&T Rebuilders. property and they better be prepared that this bullying by the city is coming their way,” said Cawley. “We are strongly encouraging other businesses who have signage like this to attend the council meeting on to have your voices heard.”

Now that the obvious has been confirmed I
t wasn’t as if the writing was on the wall, but it sure was on the septic tanks of Area D. Residents there confirmed what council and public meetings indicated over the last few months — there are a lot of people in Area D that don’t want the city’s sewer services and don’t want to become a taxpayer in the City of Campbell River. One of the driving principles
involved in the amalgamation efforts was that several septic systems were failing in Area D and a city service could correct that potential health hazard. But in meeting after meeting residents from there asked for proof and mostly only got some in the form of a years old study of the area. In the end 84.3 per cent of Area D residents said no to the plan.
That’s 589 people, compared to 110 who wanted to move ahead with amalgamation. Voting yes would have cost each property owner over $10,000 in hook-up related fees and taxes. And even though the city came up with a financing plan to help people pay for it, the people said no. And this wasn’t just a choice concerning money. This was a
choice by Area D residents to protect there lifestyle, to protect their neighbourhoods from urban sprawl, to protect their way of life, one that lured them to the area in the first place. We don’t think the city was caught off guard by the results. It was more like a wheel going downhill that they couldn’t put the brakes too. And that was one expensive wheel.
>>Your Letters / we want to hear from you// email: editor@courierislander.com Here’s a novel idea for tax, user fee collection
B
eing a newcomer to your wonderful city I find it hard to understand the ways of the machines that runs the property tax/user rate prepayment program that the city is trying to implement, supposedly to help the tax burden that befalls us all at the end of the tax year. I have been in contact/email with the Mayor, whose executive assistant Lisa Gentry forwarded me to the finance manager, Myriah Foort, who has explained to me that if you decide to do the monthly withdrawal from your bank account, the City pays one per cent on 10 monthly payments of your property taxes and user rate fees, there is no withdrawal in June, the final payment comes on the 12th month in July of the amount owing after your one per cent interest is calculated, then the July payment will include your up to date user fees and taxes which could be a larger payment withdrawal, depending on tax and or user fee increases. I proposed an alternative to this collecting of taxes/user rate fees. Rather than collect an enormous amount monthly, which will hinder a lot of us budget-living people, just pay the taxes monthly, and every three to four months collect the user amount. That will ease the burden of living for the monthly budgeters, and show the people that the controllers of the city are aware of the tax/user rate fees burden on us all, and are at least looking for ways to make life a little easier for us to live in. Dave Noble Campbell River
Come next election, the Conservatives will hear
T
ens of thousands of British Columbians have opposed the Nor thern Gateway pipeline. I proudly count myself among them. Concerned residents, environmentalists and First Nations have all spoken out loudly and clearly against the construction of the Northern Gateway pipeline, but we’ve been
repeatedly ignored by the federal Conservative government, including our own local Conservative representatives. In its decision this past week to approve the Enbridge pipeline, the government has sold the interests of British Columbians to a big oil company. And for what? An environmental disaster waiting to happen? Job loss with resource processing jobs being sent out
of the province and the country? Broken treaty agreements? We’re going to continue to oppose this pipeline and work together to ensure that it is never built. And when the federal election is called in 2015, we’ll send a message to our local Conservative representatives who have failed us. I can’t help but wonder where are they now?

Simple ways to limit weed growth
Weed growth in a garden cannot only prove unsightly, but also ultimately harmful to plants and vegetables. When weeds appear in a garden, they have already begun to steal nutrients and water from surrounding plants, and if allowed to grow tall, they can also block sunlight from reaching the plants. Unfortunately, weeds can be resilient, and there is no way to guarantee they won’t grow. But gardeners can take several steps to limit the growth of weeds so the plants in their gardens can grow strong. • Work the soil regularly. When weed roots are removed from the soil, weeds die. But just because you hoed or tilled the soil last month does not mean new weeds won’t grow in and start robbing your plants of essential nutrients and minerals this month. The garden should be cultivated regularly, and you should pay particular attention to the soil after the garden has been watered. If weeds are allowed to go to seed, the garden can quickly be overwhelmed by them, as young weeds tend to grow in quickly and a little water might be all they need to sprout. So make a point to routinely cultivate the soil with a hoe or tiller, being careful when working on soil around growing plants. • Lay down black plastic. Some gardeners may want to avoid laying black plastic down in their gardens for fear that such a weed deterrent robs the garden of its natural beauty. While that might be true, the black plastic also robs many weeds of their ability to grow in. Some weeds may be especially stubborn and grow in under the plastic, forcing their way through the holes cut into the plastic for the plants to grow through. But laying black plastic covering over the garden before it’s planted is often an effective way to limit weed growth. • Lay mulch in vegetable gardens. Mulch can serve multiple benefits in a garden. Many people find mulch aesthetically appealing, but mulch serves more practical purposes as well. Mulch made of organic materials, such as bark chips or grass clippings, is often too heavy for weeds to push through, making it difficult, if not impossible, for weeds to sprout in the garden. But mulch also conserves moisture in the soil, strengthening plant roots as a result. Stronger roots can lead to a healthier garden. • Cut down on plants’ elbow room. The more space between plants, the more room weeds have to grow. So decreasing the space between plants can limit weed growth. But spacing plants too closely together can make it difficult for vegetables to grow in as well. Spacing recommendations will likely be included on packaging when buying seeds, but reducing those recommendations by an inch or two may allow the plants to grow in strong while limiting weed growth at the same time. Garden weeds can put plants in jeopardy and rob gardens of their beauty. But there are a handful of ways gardeners can limit weed growth without harming their plants.

Shaw celebrated our country’s Centennial by roller skating across Canada Former Calgary Stampeder’s skating exploits landed him in the Guinness Book of World Records SIAN THOMSON COURIER-ISLANDER
T
ime Magazine called him “an engaging, superbly conditioned ironworker resembling Clint Eastwood,” and today, Clinton Shaw calls Campbell River home. The 72 year old lung cancer survivor, a former Calgary Stampeder until a knee injury took him out of the game, has travelled across the United States and Canada on eight wheels and those adventures landed him in the Guinness Book of World Records in 1977. Clinton Shaw roller skated 4,900 miles (7,885 km) across Canada in 1969. In 1973 he became the first man to skate 3,100 miles (4,989 km) across the United States and was the Guinness Book of World Records cross country record holder. He has been on Hollywood Squares, the Joey Bishop Show, Magic Marble Machine, and skated into the studio together with Tom Schneider on the Tomorrow Show. He has met two prime ministers, been in Time Magazine and the subject of “umpteen million” newspaper clippings, and is on page 173 of the 1977 Guinness World Book of Records. “I was working for Canadian Packers in Vancouver in the fall of 1966 and was watching the news about the 1967 Centennial, Canada’s 100th birthday,” said Shaw. “The government wanted people to participate, to do something. What are you going to do for Canada? I had a dream that night about getting roller skates from my parents when I was five years old and I fell and skinned my knees and remember them telling me it was like a horse, just get back upon it again. I said to my wife the next morning, I know what I am going to do next year for the Centennial I am going to roller skate 4,900 miles across Canada. She said ‘well, we won’t be here when you get back.’ Fortunately for Shaw, who started his journey on April 1, 1967 in Victoria, his wife and two daughters eventually followed him on the road after trading in the family sedan for a truck and camper. He finished his Centennial trek on Nov. 11, arriving in St. John’s, Newfoundland, and setting the world’s distance record for roller skating. “I dipped my skate in the Pacific and after 152 days of skating in it went into the
Above, Clint Shaw with his daughter Angela Shaw and grandson George Fasken reminisce about his skating days and the records he broke for distance and time. His picture in the Guinness World Book of Records in 1977 was the last time he was ever on roller skates. Inset, Clinton Shaw and his family met John Diefenbaker when he was invited to stop by the PM’s office on his skate across Canada. Atlantic.” Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson wrote to his parents a letter of commendation inviting him to parliament as he rolled through. When there, a nervous Shaw was told by Pearson’s security detail to ‘just imagine the PM in his underwear and everything will be fine.’ “My wife and girls got to meet the Prime Minister, it was a great experience. The next
year we met John Diefenbaker.” In 1970 Shaw, then 28, headed to Japan for Expo 1970 in Osaka. “No one had seen roller skates let alone some man on the highway rolling along,” said Shaw. “I guess people were calling the police but when they came to look for me I was already off the road for the night. Finally they found me and they couldn’t speak English I couldn’t speak Japanese so
I was taken back to the station and the English speaking inspector told me I had only been in Japan for 24 hours and was already the number one wanted fugitive. I guess I had broken a law by roller skating. He told me they had the fastest trains in the world and he suggested I take one. One police officer had a son who was going to Berkeley in California and they actually put me up and instead of being in jail I became a tourist, but not on skates.” In 1974, Shaw got rolling again, this time from New York to Santa Monica, California, a distance of 4,989 km. He went through four sets of wheels, skated 78 miles a day and traveled 3,100 miles across 15 states. Sixty two days later he had broken another world record. “There were a lot of bad roads on that trip,” said Shaw. “One little pebble could put me in hospital with a broken neck, the vibration from bad roads is really fierce on some roads. I missed a tornado in Tulsa by a mere quarter mile that sure scared me. I remember the blazing heat and my roller skates stuck to the tar on the roadside.” His marathon in the U.S. was described as a “frightening contest of mental ability between Shaw and the speeding trucks and automobiles,” in The New York Times. Shaw tried to arrange for charities to become involved in his marathons “but in those days, it was really complicated and not easy.” He estimates he spent $25,000 to accomplish his feats over the years with about $5,000 in endorsements. While he had hoped to skate the Great Wall of China, if invited (he wasn’t) and the Grand Canyon, Shaw strapped on roller skates for the last time in 1976 when he broke his final record for endurance skating, rolling around a rink for seven days 15 hours and seven minutes with only five minute breaks per hour. He even changed his socks and ate while continuing to skate. His roller skates hang in the BC Sports Hall of Fame. “Nowadays there is not much you can be first at anymore,” said Shaw. “To think I started skating as a teenager to pick up girls. By 1977 I had done everything I could, broke very record I could, it was time to move on.” Without wheels. sthomson@courierislander.com

Many men and women over 50 have turned their personal passions into successful second careers. keep this in mind when looking for a second career, and make sure that career won’t demand too much of your time. For example, if your goal in finding a new career is to get more work-life balance, then starting your own business, which can require long hours at the outset and even after the business has established itself, might not be for you. But if what you want is a more challenging career and to be your own boss, then you will likely find the cost of achieving that goal, even if that cost is more demands on your time, is worth it.
• Assess your skillset. Professionals over 50 have lots to offer, but it’s still important for such men and women to make an honest assessment of their skillset and find a career in which those skills are transferable. Some men and women might want to pursue a second career that will make little to no use of their skillset, and that’s perfectly alright. But extra schooling might be necessary in such situations, and going back to school oftentimes requires a considerable commitment of both time and money. For those who

simply want to put their existing skills to use in a different field or environment, assess those skills and look for lines of work in which they figure to be especially valuable. If there are any particular aspects of your current job that you want to avoid in the future, consider that when assessing your skills and choosing a second career. Even if they don’t know it, established professionals over 50 have many transferable skills, and such skills can be a considerable asset when pursuing a second career, especially when those skills have been assessed and can be applied to a new profession. • Make a trial run. Nowhere does it say that professionals can’t take a trial run at a second career while still fully engaged in their first career. In fact, testing the waters before you jump in is a good way to gauge your interest in a potential second career and how well your skillset applies to that field. A trial run, which can be conducted by volunteering with a nonprofit organization or through a part-time job or simply offering your services to a company free of charge in exchange for a chance to learn how the business operates, can shed light on the inner workings of a particular industry, showing you how things work behind the curtain. Testing the waters may reaffirm your belief that a certain line of work is for you, or it might send you back to the drawing board. Either way, it’s valuable experience that may reassure you that whatever decision you ultimately make is the right one. • Don’t go it alone. Switching careers after 50 carries some risk, but it’s certainly a risk that many before you have been willing to take. If you know any people, be it a friend, family member or former or even current colleague, who has reinvented themselves professionally, then speak with these people and ask for any advice they might have. If you know you want out of your current career but aren’t quite sure of what you want to do next, those who have faced a similar fork in the road may be able to help you narrow down your options. The notion of changing careers is exciting, and you can expect your personal and professional confidantes to share your excitement and be willing to help you in any way they can. Making a career change after 50 can be a risky yet ultimately rewarding move, especially for those men and women who take a thoughtful approach to finding their second careers.

Things to consider before downsizing your home COURIER-ISLANDER
The decision to downsize a home is often bittersweet. Many couples who downsize their homes do so after raising a family. A home might be filled with memories, but downsizing a home helps couples save more money, and that financial flexibility often allows men and women to more fully enjoy their retirement. But in spite of the financial impact of downsizing a home, there’s more than just money at stake for homeowners thinking of downsizing their homes. The following are a handful of factors homeowners should consider before downsizing to a smaller home. Real estate market The real estate market can be a seller’s friend or foe. Many sellers have a sale price in mind when they decide to sell their home, but the real estate market can be fickle, so homeowners should do their research before putting their home up for sale. Will the current market make it easier for you to get the most for your home, or will you have to settle for less than you prefer? How fast are similar homes in your area selling? When studying the real estate market, it’s also a good idea to study the market for smaller homes. If you plan on moving into a condominium but the market is not flush with properties, you might end up paying more than you want to for your new home, which might negate the savings you can expect from downsizing. Furniture When downsizing to a smaller home, many couples realize their current furniture is unlikely to fit into a smaller home. That means couples will have to sell or donate their current furniture and then buy all new items for their new home. If it’s been a while since you purchased new furniture, you might be in for some sticker shock on your first visit to the furniture store. Another thing to consider regarding your furniture is which items you simply can’t live without. An antique dinner table might have been the centerpiece for your family holidays
Older couples must consider a host of factors before deciding to downsize their homes. over the last several decades, but there’s no guarantee it will fit into your smaller home. You may want to pass this down to your son or daughter, but that’s only possible if he or she has the room for it. Before deciding to downsize, consider your attachment to certain items that you may or may not be able to take with you to your new home and the emotional toll that selling such items might take if you’re left with no other options. Proximity to family When downsizing to a smaller home, many couples move out of the suburbs and into cities or towns with more ready access to culture and restaurants. While that accessibility is great, grandparents may find that it comes at the cost of less time with their grandchildren. That’s a steep price to pay for doting grandparents, and it may also impact your children
if they frequently rely on grandma and grandpa for babysitting. Before downsizing, consider if you’re willing to move further away from your family. If not, you likely can still find a smaller home in close proximity to your current home and any nearby family members. Medical care Many older men and women must also consider the effect that moving may have on their medical care. Downsizing to a home in the country may make it harder to maintain contact with your current physician, and rural areas typically have less medical practitioners than more densely populated towns and cities. In addition, if you have been visiting the same physician for years, you may not want to move and have to start all over again with a physician who is unfamiliar with your medical history. Consider how much maintaining your existing relationship with your physician means to you, and if your next home will provide the kind of access to medical care you’re likely to need. Downsizing a home is not just about moving into a smaller property. To ensure you’re making the right decision, many factors must be considered before downsizing.

CHURCH SERVICES DIRECTORY Get Off Your High Horse
If there is any sin which religious people are particularly prone to, it is perhaps the sin of religious pride, and especially the sin of thinking that we are somehow holier than the mass of humanity. Religious people who teach, preach or write about these subjects are probably more at risk for this than the average person, since they are in some ways called upon to exhort others to act and believe piously. There are lots of dangers of being on this moral and religious high horse, not the least of which is that we have farther to fall the higher the horse. Indeed, Jesus reserved his most scathing criticisms for those high-minded teachers and Pharisees who seemed to relish the prospect of casting stones at sinners. The woes enumerated in the 23rd chapter of Matthew’s gospel and the 11th chapter of Luke’s are directed at various forms of religious sins, and we would do well to study these chapters and honestly ask ourselves which of these high horses we might be riding on, perhaps without realizing it.
— Christopher Simon “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.” Matthew 23:2-3 NIV

In December 2012, then sevenmonth-old Korey Reise, the son of Kayla Kelly and David Reise, had been given not long to live. While his twin brother Carter was healthy and thriving, Korey was diagnosed with a rare and grave condition called Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA). This condition affects five in 10,000 babies born in North America every year. After the diagnosis, friends of the family were doing fundraisers to help them get Korey to Boston where there was a oneof-a-kind study for babies and children diagnosed with TGA. If accepted into the study, Korey would receive a chemotherapy drug that would hopefully slow down and eventually stop the narrowing of the veins. But Korey did not make it to Boston. He was too sick for the program to take him. And now the youngster is heading to Chicago. “The reason we will be going to Chicago is for Koreys portal vein thrombosis,” said his mother Kayla. “It is the vein that brings blood from your spleen to your liver and then the blood travels to your heart. Korey has a blockage in this vein that is causing really big pressure build up in him. Korey will be having a shunt put in to create a new path for the blood to get where it needs to go.” His parents said that 2014 has been a good year so far for
Korey above during his early troubles and now below, right, with his twin brother Carter.

The family of Richard (Rick) Erickson sadly announce his sudden death. He passed away at his home in Campbell River at the age of 51. Richard is survived by his two daughters Genna and Fawn. His parents Phil (Gloria) Erickson and Nancy (John) Wersching, sister Mary (Derek), brothers Jim (Janet) and Chris, as well as many Nieces and Nephews. Rick had a wonderful artistic flair for working with wood/ driftwood. He loved the water and fishing. A poem from his uncle says it all: “The man O’wood straight grain, twisted more better, the smell, the feel, the warmth. Cut, chisel, sand - inside and out, the spirit of the wood; a love affair.” A celebration of his life will be held on Thursday, July 3, 2pm at the Eagles Hall, 1999 14th Street, Campbell River.
“You never ever know when something can go terribly wrong and change so drastically in your life so always appreciate and love as much as possible. Korey has made our family 1,000 times stronger, smarter and just so hopeful.” — Korey’s mom. Korey, he is reaching many milestones, he is walking, starting to talk, and learning letters. He loves pizza and strawberries, trains, swings at the park, and watching his favorite show “Bubble Guppies.” Although many people do not believe he is Carter’s twin because he is so much smaller, Kayla says Korey can keep up with his brother although it is harder on Korey when he gets a common cold or the flu. “He is a ‘heart baby’ but that is very hard to prevent when he has a brother in day care and a six-year-old sister going into grade one,” she said. “We as a family are still learning and growing stronger and just loving each other as much as possible,” said Kayla. “You never ever know when something can go terribly wrong and change so drastically in your life so always appreciate and love as much as possible. Korey has made our family 1,000 times stronger, smarter and just so hopeful. We’ve learned to never ever give up hope. There is no stopping him. He is truly a blessing.” sthomson@courierislander.com

Masters of ‘the beautiful game’ Campbell River Masters win their third OB Allen Spring Soccer League championship in four years COURIER-ISLANDER
T
he Campbell River Masters and Friends claimed the 2014 Men’s Spring League title Thursday with a convincing 6-1 victory over Top Notch from Courtenay. This was the 94th year of the OB Allen Trophy, the oldest trophy in B.C., and the local Riverites were delighted to bring the trophy ‘home’ having lost out to Top Notch last season. The Masters have now claimed three of the past four titles. The Campbell River side came out strong. Taking advantage of their speed and some creative
Podium of Life Academy skiers take a splash at Whistler ramps
passing the Masters jumped out to an early two goal lead with goals from centre midfielders Clay Fauchon and Rob Shaw. These opportunities were created thanks to the skill and industry of forwards Wyatt Bryce and Shane Berry. The Masters almost took a three goal lead after some excellent work from Anthony Vigneron produced a superb cross but Berry was most unfortunate to see his shot go wide of the post. Top Notch worked hard and remained composed and alert to any opportunities. They gained a foothold in the game after they
were awarded a penalty late in the first half which was scored by Peter Cronin. It looked as though the teams might battle back and forth in a close match going into half time, but Campbell River proved to be a dominant force in the second half. Much of this was due to the strong squad of 16 players the Masters had on the night. The experienced squad was duly rotated throughout the game and enabled fresh legs every 20 minutes or so. No question every player played an important role throughout the game. Defenders Cody Dodge, Ray Wilson and
Rob Rentze played very smartly and closed down any Top Notch attacks. Alongside these players such stifling defensive corps were admirably led by Anthony Seville and Peter McWilliams. When Top Notch did break through Shane Dumanoir stood strong in goal. In the end it was the excellent ball movement and well timed runs down the flanks that continually opened up the Top Notch defence for four second half goals by the Masters side. Fullbacks Taylor Arbour, Jacob Blanchard got forward whenever they could and the midfield
trio of Shaw, Fauchon and Eric Roberts were constantly looking to send quality passes forward. Scoring was provided by Peter McWilliams, Karson Kroetsch and a pair from Bryce. The Masters squad would like to thank their club and fans for coming out to support them this season. Many of this team will form the core of the Cermaq squad representing Campbell River later this year in the Vancouver Island Soccer League Division 3. If they can maintain this sort of quality soccer another wonderful season awaits.

ing. Jayden Grant took her spins to 540, Sofia Tchernetski worked on her cork 7s, and Layne Anvelt hit the bigger jump with a double flat nine. Other athletes experienced the facilities for the first time and felt the exhilaration of skiing off the jumps and landing in water. The kids were lucky in a number of ways. First, they had great coaching by Chris Muir, who coached the Freestylerz last year. Second, they shared space with the BC Freestyle Park and Pipe
team and the Russian National team where they were able to see tricks like a double cork 16 and watch Russian perfection off the ramps. Third, they passed fellow rampers as Momentum Ski Camps participants came off the glacier to practice jumping for the afternoon. Podium of Life is a school that operates in the winter on Mount Washington, they also provide opportunities for adventure throughout the year. The program will host a water ramp camp in
September which is open to all athletes. Visit podiumoflife.com for more information. The ramps run daily throughout the summer, hosting teams from across the country and around the world. At this time Podium of Life Snow Sports Academy is taking applications for next year for both Whistler and Mount Washington. If you are interested in sending your child to school where they ski as part of the daily curriculum contact podiumoflife@shaw.ca.
Have you ever wondered how skiers become good at doing tricks on snow? Well, wonder no more. Simply go to Whistler, walk up from Base 2 parking on Blackcomb and watch kids take their tricks from trampoline to water ramps. Over the past few days Podium of Life Snow Sports Academy has hosted athletes from all over BC to practice their tricks into water.

Golf tourney features family fun and feeding the less fortunate COURIER-ISLANDER
The first Campbell River Family Golf Classic takes place Saturday, July 19, at Story Creek Golf Club. The nine hole fun tourney has a 9 a.m. shotgun start followed by a picnic style lunch. Register your family to play golf for $150 for a team of four players. In creating this golf classic, organizers wanted to do something different. Most fundraisers, and especially golf tournaments, don’t necessarily bring families together. This one will be unique in that kids are encouraged to get out with adults regardless of their skill level. What if you don’t have kids? Make up a team, just find two minors who want to join in – maybe grand kids or neighbours and friends. This year’s theme is fun, family and feeding the less fortunate. The funds are being raised for
