KRISTEN DOUGLASCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Fifty government employees walked off the job at Campbell River’s forest ministry office Tuesday as the battle between the BC Government and Service Employees Union (BCGEU) and the province heats up.
Workers marched along Dog-wood Street near Merecroft Road, waving their bright yellow and blue union signs and carrying placards that read ‘On Strike.’
Doug Kinna, union spokesper-son, was in Campbell River for the one-day strike to focus the public’s attention on the union’s issues.
“We want a fair and reasonable agreement,” Kinna said. “This is our first strike since 1988 – we’re not strike happy. We’ve been able to negotiate fair agreements in the past.
“Maybe we should bring (for-mer premier Gordon) Campbell back. At least he knew what he was doing when it came to collec-tive bargaining.”
The BCGEU has followed the province’s wage freeze mandate, not having a pay increase since 2009. The union’s contract expired on April 1, 2012 but the union and the province first sat down at the bargaining table in January. The BCGEU is asking for a 3.5 per cent wage increase this year and a raise equivalent to the cost of living increase for 2013.
The union has already rejected the province’s offer of a two per cent pay increase for 2012 and another 1.5 per cent next yet.
On Wednesday it was announced
that the province had withdrawnthat offer, which the BCGEUturned down just prior to its firststrike at liquor distribution ware-houses in Kamloops, Vancouverand Victoria on July 3.
Kinna did not indicate whenand if there will be future strikes,but the union did announce weeksago it intended to stage a series ofrotating strikes without hurtingthe public.
“We’re trying to get our govern-ment’s attention without nega-tively affecting British Columbi-ans,” Kinna said.
The BCGEU has issued two pro-posals to the province that Kinnasaid have the potential to gener-ate close to $300 million per yearfor the government.
“We’ve proposed opening liquorstores on Sundays and puttingdeputy sheriffs on road patrol,”Kinna said.
“That would be a $280 to $300million increase in revenuewithout raising taxes. They’vehad lots of time to review these

The Campbell River Hospice Society helped more than one thou-sand people cope with death last year and this year the non-profit is appealing to the com-munity for some assis-tance.
In order to continue the many services the society offers, the hos-pice leans heavily on its three annual fund-raisers – Angel Rock, Celebrate A Life, and its annual summer time raffle.
This year the hospice is giving away a 2012 Mazda 2, along with free gas for one year, but ticket sales so far have been slow.
Iona Wharton, hos-pice community co-ordinator, said fund-raising is the society’s lifeline.
“We get very minimal funding,” she said. “We probably fund about half of our operating budget at our events.”
T h e Va n c o u v e r Island Health Author-ity funds three per cent of the hospice’s annual operating budget. Julie Collins, hospice office administrator, said the society receives $5,700 a year from the health authority which
equates to just $0.12 per person, per capita.
“That’s why it ’s important that people support us and buy a ticket on the car,” she said.
The rest of the operat-ing money comes from grants from groups such as the United Way, Direct Access, and the provincial gaming grants.
Wharton said the society, which has three paid staff and 65 volunteers, benefits from community sup-port.
“Our annual raffle is part of the fundrais-ing we have to do every year to keep our doors open because we don’t charge for our ser-vices,” she said. “We do a lot of counselling here, which normally runs from $100-$120 an hour. We do that for free and our clients appreciate it. This is not a wealthy town.”
The hospice and its trained volunteers provide several pro-grams and services aimed at helping those facing death and their families and friends by offering them spiritual and emotional support. And the work does not end after a loved one passes away.
“We continue with
the family,” Wharton said. “We have two counsellors trained in psychology and social work and they can see those counsellors once a week for as long as they need to work through their grief.”
The hospice also helps provides direc-tion to grief-stricken families when they need it most.
“Dying can be a very private thing but it’s
also very scary and it puts a lot of stress not only on the person who’s ill but the fam-ily,” Wharton said. “Everyone’s life is going to change and (we can help) with get-ting affairs in order, mending fences and tying up loose ends. It’s also about making sure they (the family) have a connection to all the resources. You know a lot of people don’t
know what the next step is when someone dies.”
Volunteers also try to help ease the pain of losing a loved one whether it be by stop-ping by for tea or a round of bridge. They also provide respite
care to allow care giv-ers time to get out of the house.
“Volunteers do so much for people,” Wharton said. “People will pick up groceries for those who can’t get out, as well as provide that emotional sup-
port.”The hospice society
also provides a widow and widowers sup-port group; grief loss and counselling; a bereavement program; a lending library full of books, government for ms, estate and funeral home infor-mation; as well as the Sally Wellman Memo-rial Garden, where plaques in memory of loved ones grow. The hospice also runs a weekly walking sup-port group on Mondays at Frank James Park at 10 a.m. where people can connect with oth-ers experiencing grief.
To help support the hospice society, pur-chase raffle tickets (three for $20) at the hospice office (301 Dogwood Street); at the Sunday Far m-ers Market; or at this weekend’s Salmon Fes-tival at Nunns Creek Park. For more ticket information call (250) 286-1121. The winning ticket will be drawn Sept. 2 at the North Island Cruisers Show ‘n’ Shine on Shoppers Row at 2 p.m.
and they’ve rejected them.”
Finance Minister Kevin Falcon disagrees with the BCGEU’s numbers and said hav-ing liquor stores open
on Sundays would maybe save $11 mil-lion – not enough to fund the increase the union wants – because employees would have to be paid overtime.
Falcon also said it
would take away sales from private liquor
stores that operate on Sundays.

Campbell Riveri-tes can likely expect another tax increase because of an agree-ment the city made with BC Hydro, says one city councillor.
Coun. Ron Kerr is disappointed his fellow councillors so readily accepted a deal that will see BC Hydro pay 75 per cent, up to $12.5 million, of the costs to build a new drinking water supply system necessary to accom-modate upgrades to the John Hart Dam Gener-ating Station.
H yd ro p l a n s t o replace the three large pipes that transport water from the John Hart Dam to the gener-ating station, and from where the city’s drink-ing water has been drawn for 65 years. A 2.1 kilometre tunnel will be built in place of the pipes.
Kerr said BC Hydro should take respon-sibility for funding the new water source because it is Hydro’s project.
“I believe they should be paying 100 per cent and that’s how you negotiate,” Kerr said. “You stick to it and you don’t say ‘oh that’s your best offer, let’s roll over and accept it.’
There was no reason to accept it yet. It’s too early, it was on their t i m e t a b l e . I think the concern that we’re going to jeopardize our relationship with Hydro is ill-conceived and I don’t t h i n k d i s -agreeing with them is going to affect that relationship.”
Council made the decision behind closed doors at an in-camera meeting, closed to the public and the media. What was discussed during the meeting could not be brought into the public domain, so Kerr made a motion at the July 24 council meeting to have the in-camera meeting min-utes made public. That motion passed with councillors Adams, Moglove and Storry opposed.
According to the min-utes, Hydro spokesper-son Stephen Watson attended the in-camera session, distributed a five-page handout and explained to council that the power com-pany’s offer still needs to be approved by the BC Utilities Commis-sion in early 2013. Still, council passed a motion to accept Hydro’s contribution of
75 per cent of the proj-ect costs with Mayor Walter Jakeway and
Kerr the only two opposed. As par t o f the motion, council will also continue to work with BC Hydro to reduce project costs and seek assistance to
secure addit ional sources of funding.
The city expects the project to cost between $15 and $20 million but a definite figure is still up in the air.
“To the Campbell River taxpayers it’s a huge amount and it’s going to increase taxes,” Kerr said. “We’re talking a signif-icant amount of money here to the Campbell River taxpayer, plus we don’t even know yet what the exact number is.”
M ayo r J a k e w ay agrees with Kerr that Hydro should be foot-ing the bill, not the community.
“It’s not a Campbell River responsibility,” he said. “It’s a (BC Hydro) project cost. They can spin doctor the situation all they want, but nothing has changed.”
Watson thought oth-erwise.
“The city has been
very supportive of the John Hart project, and our ongoing positive relationship has culmi-nated in an agreement on BC Hydro’s funding contribution,” he said in a joint press release issued by BC Hydro and the city following the in-camera meet-ing. Kerr said he’s still trying to understand why council jumped to accept Hydro’s offer so quickly, when the proj-ect is still at least one or two years down the road.
“To me it just doesn’t make sense,” Kerr said. “There was lim-ited discussion and it was done too fast.
“Partners don’t cut off your water sup-ply and if we’re part-ners with BC Hydro you just don’t do that. They should be paying for the full cost and it’s a good position to stick with.”
The city could apply for federal and provin-cial grants to cover the remainder of the costs, but Kerr said that’s taking away funding for other city projects.
Coun. Andy Adams, liaison to BC Hydro, confirmed the city will look elsewhere for financial support.
“The city is not in a position to pay for the water intake construc-tion,” he said. “City
council supports this agreement for funding support and appreci-ates BC Hydro’s contri-bution and continued assistance. The city has always been a strong supporter of the John Hart project and the significant economic opportunities, invest-ment and job creation this will bring.”
The city plans to finalize costs, time-lines, and plans for the new water intake from the John Hart Lake this fall.
The John Hart Dam Generating Station upgrade project is expected to be com-plete by the end of 2018. The project will replace an aging facil-ity, operating since 1947 and is expected to improve power reliabil-ity and seismic safety. The project involves replacement of the water intake, replac-ing the pipes with a tunnel, constructing a replacement generat-ing station, and build-ing a new water bypass facility. The John Hart project is undergoing a review by the BC Utili-ties Commission.

Police investigating multiple vehicle collision with injuries
One person is in hospital with serious
injuries after a multiple-vehicle collision on the Island Highway just north of Campbell River.
At 9:56 a.m. Tuesday morning, Campbell River RCMP say a vehicle travelling north bound collided with the last vehicle in a line up of motorists stopped due to construction on the highway near McDonald Road.
“One person from the stopped traffic was seriously injured,” says Staff Sgt. Troy Beauregard. “The driver of the north bound vehicle was also injured. Both have been transported to Campbell River Hospital for treatment.”
The Campbell River RCMP, assisted by a Collision Reconstructionist from the North Island Traffic Services, remain at the scene conducting a detailed investigation. Police are investigating potential causes of the collision. Tuesday afternoon, the highway was open to just single lane traffic.
No names or further information will be released at this time as the investigation is still underway, say police.

T h e S t r a t h c o n a Re g i o n a l D i s t r i c t wants to move forward with plans to repair Rod Brind’Amour Arena despite failing to secure a key govern-ment grant this year.
The regional district has budgeted for the first phase of the arena project to begin this year, which includes issuing a Request for Proposals for further work in 2013.
The total budget is estimated at $1.1 mil-lion with $111,000 to be spent in 2012 for detailed design and tendering and in 2013, $64,000 is budgeted for project manage-ment with $904,200 is set aside for the arena floor and dasher board system.
Brian Reardon, the re gional district’s chief administrative officer, recommended the Strathcona Gar-dens Commission get moving on the project.
“By issuing the RFP (Request for Proposals) this month, we would be able to confirm timelines and proj-ect costs prior to next year’s budget planning process,” he said in a
letter to the commis-sion. “In addition, it would be important to confirm the estimated timelines to complete the project, so that preparations could be identified and com-municated to the user groups.”
Reardon said after talking with other municipalities that have done similar arena upgrades, the regional district would like to have the same company both design and build the improve-ments. The upgrades, which include replac-ing the slab floor, boards and brine lines, are necessary to pre-vent further deteriora-tion of the 40-year-old rink. Making things difficult is the lack of funding at the regional district’s disposal.
“Potential funding sources for projects of this magnitude are lim-ited and the timing for starting the upgrade project becomes criti-cal to the operation of the facility,” said Josie Rohne, Strathcona Gar-dens facility manager. “Although we have searched out sponsor-ship it is more likely that funding sources will have to include government grants in
order to secure fund-ing elsewhere.”
The regional district, with the backing of the city, did apply in Febru-ary for a $400,000 grant from the $30 million B.C. Community Rec-reation Fund, aimed at supporting community recreation projects.
But the application was denied much to both parties’ disap-pointment.
“When we review the list of projects that were approved around the province, the num-ber of regions that had multiple projects approved, and the fact that nearby regions received over $1 mil-lion in grant approvals, it leaves us wondering why our application wasn’t given favour-able consideration,” Coun. Andy Adams and chair of the Strath-cona Gardens Commis-sion wrote in a letter to the ministry in May. “The one project that the regional district
applied for is a vitally important project to the community as the arena floor and brine lines are on the brink of failure.”
If the repairs are not done soon, the concrete slab under the ice will fail, making it impossi-ble to make proper ice. There is already a large crack running across the floor that has been filled with deteriorated material.
Rohne said putting off the improvements is not an option.
“Not proceeding with this project has the potential of loss of revenues and employ-ment for many of our staff,” Rohne said. “Not to say the implica-tions of the ice cancel-lations to both minor hockey groups and adult hockey. Our Jr. B hockey club (Campbell River Storm) would be affected and that would also have an effect on the Island Jr. (VIJHL) as a whole.”

Comox Valley resi-dents are sounding the alarm about a federal riding redis-tribution proposal that apparently would hive off much of the Comox Valley from Vancouver Island North, transferring it to Nanaimo-Alberni.
“We in the Comox Valley have somehow become the butt of an incredible bad federal joke,” wrote Dorothy Drubek in a letter to the editor of the Comox Valley Record. “I have just received a copy of the proposed electoral map of B.C. for the distribution of federal districts and I
am horrified.“The plan for our
area is to basically divide Courtenay in half, with all of us north of the river to remain in the North Island district — and those of us south of the river to join the Nanaimo-Alberni rid-ing,” she adds.
In another letter to the editor, Tom Finkel-stein contributed his thoughts.
“It appears that the appointees to the com-mission, assisted by federal bureaucrats who have likely never seen the Valley, wish to tear its heart out,” Finkelstein writes.
“To divide this com-munity along the Courtenay part of Comox Road and the old highway (Highway 19A) makes no sense.”
The federal govern-ment is proposing to change the boundary in the riding of Van-couver Island North, in keeping with a
10-year practice fol-lowing the census where electoral dis-tricts and boundaries are revised to reflect population shifts and growth. There will be a public hearing in October about the pro-posed change.
The province is gaining six electoral districts due to popu-lation increases. In 2001 there were about 3.9 million people in B.C. The 2011 census pegged it at 4.4 mil-lion.
“High population growth was noted between the North Shore and Chilliwack, on Vancouver Island,
in the Okanagan as well as in the Kam-loops area,” John Hall, chair of the Electoral Boundaries Commission for B.C., said in a news release. “These changes have prompted us to make substantial adjust-ments to the bound-ary lines in these regions.”
The commission also focused on historical patterns and com-munity of interest or identity to achieve the goal of effective representation in Par-liament.
“We also bore in mind the proper rep-resentation of First
Nations communities and residents of the northern electoral dis-tricts,” Hall said.
Under the Electoral Boundaries Readjust-ment Act, the com-mission’s main aim in redrawing boundaries is to divide the prov-ince into electoral districts as close to the average population as reasonably possible.
Residents can share their views about the proposed federal electoral map at a public hearing Oct. 15 at 7 p.m. at Crown Isle in Courtenay. Those wishing to make a presentation need to notify the commission no later than Aug. 30.
Notices of presenta-tion should include:
■ Name, address and contact information;■ Organization rep-
resented (if any);■ Date of the public
hearing;■ A short overview
of issue(s);■ Official language
of preference;■ Any accommoda-
tion needs.Written notice can
be e-mailed to [email protected] or mailed to Federal Electoral Boundaries Com-mission for British Columbia, 1095 West Pender St., Suite 301, Vancouver, B.C. V6E 2M6. Alternatively, forms can be filled out at www.federal-redis-tribution.ca under British Columbia > Public Hearings.

There are many rea-sons why wildlife is admitted to M.A.R.S. – this year many of our patients have been admitted due to impacts with a vari-ety of vehicles. We have seen many fawns, eagles, and songbirds to name a few that have perished or been badly injured as they attempted to cross a road.
The latest victim is not a common visitor to M.A.R.S. but a very interesting bird.
Long perceived as disgusting, ugly birds, turkey vultures are actually incredibly fascinating creatures with some unusual fea-tures and habits.
Their Latin name “Cathar tes Aura” means “purifier” and the Cherokee Indian tribe called them the “peace eagle” due to their non-aggressive behaviour.
For years these birds
were classified as rap-tors, but extensive studies of their hab-its, anatomy and DNA proved them to be related to the stork f a m i l y . They cer-tainly lack many rap-tor features, they do have talons but they have weak, flat feet which are not designed for grasping; beaks are short and not powerful or sharp enough to kill prey.
Unlike eagles they do not rely on their eyesight to locate prey, rather they detect prey by smell.
The part of the brain that processes smell is larger than any other avian or mammal spe-cies and they can detect the gasses produced by rotting carrion.
Large dark brown
birds that are often mistaken for bald eagles, turkey vultures have a wing span of
170-183 centi-metres and can weigh between 8 5 0 g r a m s to 2.2 kilos. Often seen in groups, turkey vultures use the ther mal cur rents to soar together, t h e y c a r r y their wings
in a distinct V-shape but seldom flap their
wings, they just turn to gain altitude.
Up close there is lit-tle doubt which is the vulture as these birds
have featherless, red wrinkled heads (juve-nile heads are dark grey or black). Instead of a curved yellow
beak the vulture’s is ivory with a single large hole through the middle which is their nostril.
This bald headed modification is thought to have evolved to pre-vent “feather rot” due to their feeding habits which requires them to bury their heads inside a carcass; preening head feathers is not an easy task for any bird.
Scavengers by nature they are not known to kill their food, ani-mals and fish are their
main diet but they also include vegetation.
Turkey vultures have a very smart but repul-sive way of protecting themselves and their food from predators, if cornered they will regurgitate or projec-tile vomit over their food or intruder, very few predators will be tempted to stick around to eat!
Probably they have to resort to these habits as a means of defence as unlike other birds

they lack vocal organs and are only able to groan and hiss. Often accused of spreading disease, these vultures are an important part of cleansing our ecosys-tems, especially in arid areas. Their digestive systems are extremely ef ficient and their immune systems very sophisticated, which prevents them from contracting diseases or from passing on any disease through their
feces. These birds can often be seen standing with their wings open which is a method of cooling down or dry-ing off their feathers, it also bakes off any bacteria or parasites they may have. Turkey vultures also have very efficient kidneys allow-ing them to store water; in very hot conditions they will actually defe-cate on their own legs.
Adult vultures have few predators, often these birds are hit by
cars as they dine on road kill, but the young fledgling birds are prone to attacks from eagles, owls, crows and ravens.
The unfortunate tur-key vulture that came to M.A.R.S. was hit by a garbage truck and somehow managed to flip up over the truck and land inside. Fortu-nately for the vulture the truck had just been emptied, but not so great for Reg who had to climb in to retrieve the hissing vulture. After an examination
at Van Isle Vet Clinic it was confirmed that the vulture had a severely broken wing which required lengthy sur-gery to insert pins into the wing bones.
To prevent the vul-ture from picking at the wound it was fitted with a “worry peg” to pick at instead of the dressings.
The vulture contin-ues to have daily dress-ing changes in order to prevent infection and it still faces several more
weeks of rehab. Our thanks to Van
Isle and the other vet-erinarians who donate hours of their time to help injured wildlife.
Be sure to watch out for these birds later this month as they are gath-ering in flocks ready to make the fall migration back to southern Cali-fornia and beyond.
To report injured or abandoned wildlife please call 1-(800) 304-9968, for all other calls, (250) 337-2021.

KRISTEN DOUGLASCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The city’s recent announcement that it won’t provide sewer service to neighbour-hoods south of the city limits is frustrating one resident who is fed up with his local gov-ernment’s failure to secure the project.
“This project was not complicated,” said Mark Treacy, a resident of Area D (Crawford Road/Oyster Bay) who stood to benefit from a new sewer system. “Municipalities imple-ment these projects and complete them all the time. How a small group in the regional district can live with themselves by pur-posely choosing to poi-son the environment...is the lowest form of human development possible.”
T h e S t r a t h c o n a Re gional District , which governs Area D, has been negotiating with the city since 2006
to connect 172 homes in the Ocean Grove and Crawford Loop neigh-bourhoods to the city’s sewer system but has been unable to come to an agreement. The city said it was forced to pull out because the two parties could not reach a deal that would recover all city costs.
B r e n d a L e i g h , regional director rep-resenting Area D, said last week the city’s Oct. 11, 2011 offer of $22,000 was too high – more than double the $9,350 that Area D residents approved at a referen-dum in 2006.
Since then, the regional district has secured $5.1 million in federal and provin-cial grant funding and is expected to spend $8,000 of its own money in 2012.
The regional district approved $6,500 in its financial plan for in-house staff engineer-ing, as well as another $1,500 for a study con-ducted by an outside
engineer.L e i g h s a i d t h e
regional district has those up-to-date plans now in its possession and plans to present them to Northern Area D residents sometime in the fall. But Treacy is skeptical.
“For as long as the director of Area D has maintained her seat, there has been the proverbial carrot dangled in front of her constituents,” he said. “Six years ago a refer-endum was held and the residents voted with majority vote to resolve the sewer issue knowing this was in the best inter-est of Beautiful Brit-ish Columbia. After six years there have been proposed studies, none of which have surfaced in respect to moving forward with the sewer project.”
Treacy said he’s des-perate to get off his
septic system and is disappointed with the lack of progress.
“The need for a sewer system is a real fact,” he said. “There is a study showing numerous septic failures allow-ing for human fecal matter to flow freely into roadside ditches, creeks and streams. The lawn surface on the residence adjacent to mine during sum-mer months flows of this same waste.
“Now we stand at a crossroads where the sewer project and its provincial and federal directives have been thwarted. The will of the people has been met with slight regard and ignorance.”
Leigh, however, said she did consult with her constituents after the city’s $22,000 offer last fall.
“I took their proposal door-to-door and found that there was no sub-
stantial public support in Northern Area D,” Leigh said. “Campbell River’s former pro-posal would put the cost of connection to the city system out of reach for the average Northern Area D resi-dent.”
She said the city was not willing to budge on its offer and accommo-date Area D.
“Campbell River has not demonstrated any willingness to negoti-ate since sending out a proposed draft agree-ment which would have charged each house-hold in Area D more than $22,000. Staff tried to re-negotiate after the (November municipal) election, but it would appear that no accept-able agreement could be reached.”
L e i g h s a i d t h e regional district still plans to keep moving forward with the proj-ect.

Planning for Life Changes
Universally Designed, Universally AppealingTaken from an article
by Elyse Umlauf-Garneau
Sleek, chic and stylish.Those are rarely adjectives applied to properties that cater to an aging population. But a universal design is possible and appealing. So whether you’re renovating a parent’s home, building a new one, or making modifi cations to accommodate multigenerational living, consider incorporating universal design principles. “A lot is just common sense,” as pointed out by Shankman-Cohn. • One no-step, accessible entrance: Barrier-free access point allows seniors trying to get into a house with and boomers pulling luggage after a vacation. • First-fl oor bedroom and bathroom: A room on the fi rst fl oor can serve as a study/den until need arises for main fl oor bedroom. • Wide doors and hallways: Aim for doors and hallways that are 48 inches wide. Wider doors and halls benefi t those in wheelchairs or needing assistance. • Curbless showers: A no-step shower delivers an appealing contemporary look, and it’s practical for older residents, for a person in a wheelchair. Also incorporate a seat, grab bars etc. • Kitchens: Installing multiple levels of counters can make kitchen space universally accessible. Opt for counters at heights ranging from 28 inches to 48 inches, or install adjustable ones. Dangers that lurk!: • Clutter: Newspapers, bags, etc. piled up in corners and elsewhere can be hazardous for an elderly person with physical limitations or for a baby boomer rushing to leave for work. • Flooring: Cushy carpeting may feel great, but it’s a huge impediment for someone trying to maneuver a walker or wheelchair. An elderly person gets around better on bare fl oors, points out Shankman- Cohn. And a gleaming marble fl oor in a bathroom makes that slick surface into a potentially dangerous skating rink, observes Shankman-Cohn. • Kitchen hazards: Placing a microwave above a range seems like a terrifi c way to use empty space. But how practical or safe is it for anyone to be reaching over a hot stove and maneuvering scorching liquids above their heads? Just some ideas.

In a world where there is often precious little to cel-ebrate, where citizens must die for democracy, people are gunned down in a movie theatre and countless other
acts leave us saddened, disheartened or just plain cynical, every two years a spectacle takes place that breathes life back into the human spirit.
The Olympic Games are a two-week celebration of youth, goodwill and ultimate effort. A glimpse, perhaps, into the lighter side, the better side,
of the human condition.The Olympics are a spectacle where failure doesn’t
result in civil war or poverty, but only an acknowledge-
ment that more work is required. To lose leaves little consequence; we simply move on to the next event and hope.
Simon Whitfield’s crash in triathlon and the women’s loss in soccer to the U.S. left us disappointed, although the bronze medal win over France left us elated.
To win leaves us punching the air in celebration, with lumps in our throat as our national anthem plays.
We see the joy and understanding in the athlete at the top of the podium, having carried an entire nation’s hopes on their shoulders and succeeded. To have so much sacrifice pay off.
That is what we celebrate.And while every Olympics has its shortfalls, corpo-
rate sponsorships and huge investment in venues, the price is worth it.
For two weeks, the world converges in one place with-out politics, religion or greed. For two weeks, we get a glimpse of a world without borders.
As the 2012 London Olympics draw to a close, and as the Olympic Flame is once again set to be extin-guished, we can look back and pocket the moments of inspiration, learn from the failures and embrace the human race.
The Olympics is not only a spectacle, but a neces-sity.

Northern Gateway pipeline posturing doesn’t help
We say: Two-week celebration of youth, goodwill and effort
The B.C. Liberal government is tak-ing its new hard-line approach to fed-eral environmental hearings on the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline proposal in September.
Environment Minister Terry Lake has filed the B.C. government’s notice to cross-examine Enbridge, one of the world’s biggest pipeline operators. Lake outlined the “tough questions” B.C. representatives will ask about spill response capacity on land and sea, tanker escort tugboats, pipe wall thickness, and Enbridge’s sluggish response to a pipeline rup-ture in Michigan.
That’s all fine, and to be expected after Premier Christy Clark’s high-profile confrontation with Alberta
Premier Alison Redford going into the recent premiers’ meeting in Hali-fax.
Clark’s demands for “world-lead-ing” safety and spill response, as well as meeting the constitutional obligation to consult and accom-modate aboriginal groups along the route, are mostly a statement of the obvious. Her call for a “fair share” of proceeds from exported oil to reflect B.C.’s risk has been assaulted from all sides.
Pipeline opponents seized on Clark’s suggestion that a major oil spill might be tolerable if there was enough money in it for B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix picked up the theme as he conducted his own
belated tour of the proposed route to reiterate his opposition.
There had been earlier hints from Alberta that B.C. might need further rewards for the risk. But when Clark made the “fair share” demand pub-lic, Redford was moved to channel Margaret Thatcher, declaring: “The Premier of Alberta is not going to blink on royalties.” The lady’s not for blinking, but neither is B.C.’s Iron Snowbird, as Preston Manning dubbed Clark this spring.
All this political theatre doesn’t amount to much. I’ll stand by my Jan-uary prediction that the Enbridge pro-posal is unlikely to proceed, mainly due to the tangled state of aboriginal claims. Wealthy U.S. foundations
that view the B.C. North Coast as their 500-year eco-experiment will be happy to help fund a decade of legal challenges, while continuing the media-spinning and protest support they are doing now.
Even if some way can be found to levy a B.C. tax on revenues from the Northern Gateway pipeline, it’s no solution. For one thing, it would con-fer an advantage to the Trans-Moun-tain pipeline that has been shipping Alberta oil to Burnaby and the U.S. for more than 60 years.
The competing expansion proposal by Trans-Mountain’s current owner, Kinder Morgan, shows the inconsis-tency of opposition to pipelines. Does
I am shocked that you published this letter from someone outside our community. How can they have any knowledge of how our trails are built or main-tained? And why single out mountain bike trails, many hiking trails are far worse in both construction and maintenance than trails used for cycling.
The River City Cycle Club are in a partnership with BC Parks and MOF to be the Stewards of the local trail system used primarily for mountain biking, known a The Snowden Demonstration Forest. These trails are built and maintained to the highest internationally recognised standards as set out by IMBA, the Interna-tional Mountain Bike Association. The standards as set out have been adopted by many areas, and are now used in many parks for hiking trails. The trail standards are designed to build sustainable trails that cause minimal impact to environment.
Is there an impact to environment? Yes, but there is an impact to the environment from all human activi-ties.

from outside your local area?
Is your home made of wood or concrete? Live in a city?
All these activities have far greater impact than trails.
I could continue, however the point is mountain bikers for the most part are lov-
ers of nature and the environment and the impact of our sport is minimal when trail are built responsibly.
We have strong part-nerships with BC Park and MOF due to the fact we build responsi-bly and have a strong reliable volunteer work force that gets the job done.

It’s called balance. The letter was sent
to us in response to material we had in our paper.
We are obligated/expected to run it.
The issue is not about what the editor or
anybody at the paper believes, it’s about the paper’s obligation to allow all viewpoints access to the space in our paper.
By all means, dispute the letter writer’s claims but never dispute our responsibility to present all sides of the issue.
Even if it’s from somebody outside of our community.

anyone really believe that a new pipeline built to the highest standards ever would be too dangerous, while a 60-year-old pipeline is acceptable?
Protesters have an easy target in Kinder Morgan. With a tenfold increase to 25 tankers a
month proposed to sail under the Lions Gate bridge, a heavy oil spill from Second Nar-rows to Stanley Park would be catastrophic to Vancouver’s envi-ronment and economy. Tankers have made that trip safely nearly 100 years, but the con-gested modern ship-ping lane offers more
threat of collision, and clearing Burrard Inlet for near-daily tanker transits would disrupt the rest of B.C.’s ship-ping trade.
An Angus Reid poll last week showed as many as half of respondents remain open-minded about the costs and benefits of new oil pipelines
across B.C. Unlike B.C. politicians, they seem interested in learning more before making up their minds.
Dix and the NDP ran to the front of the anti-pipeline parade early, as they did with the carbon tax and other issues. Clark began the Northern Gate-way discussion with a
principled position to wait for the result of the federal review, but that’s apparently out the window with an election looming.

What a pity Jos Krynen met with a negative response from city council (with the exception of Ron Kerr and Walter Jakeway) regarding promoting tourism to Campbell River, but no surprise really.
Unless we remove the “old” guard at the next
local election nothing new will happen. As for Rivercorp promot-ing the city abroad best not to hold your breath on that.
I would like throw an idea into the ring....what about Campbell River having a market along the lines of The Old Country Market at
Coombs,( but without the goats on the roof !)? I am sure hundreds if not thousands of resi-dents of this city visit this market on a regu-lar basis taking their cash and spending it there.
Also this market is so popular with tour-ists they arrive by the
busload.We have plenty of
vacant buildings in the downtown core surely someone with vision could convert some to accommodate a cov-ered market, it could become an attraction for locals and tourists and the influx of visi-tors would have a posi-
tive knock on effect for existing businesses. We need to bring more people into Campbell River and we need to have more on offer for them to return on a regular basis.
Any entrepreneurs interested?

There is something awesome brewing again up in the hills above the Comox Val-ley and it’s all about m a s s ive s o u n d s, wicked visuals, huge dancing and big time fun! It’s The Big Time Out and it comes to life in the Village of Cumberland this August 18 and 19.
The 2012 performer roster is chocked full with fresh talent from near and far and a final few artists have been added to the roster over the past two weeks including a huge talent who is coming home to the Island after a phe-nomenal touring year in some of Canada’s top venues.
His travels this sum-mer have included the Calgary Stampede and perfor mances of the song ‘Ride’, which he composed as the theme song for the Stampede’s 100th Anniversary.
Wil has a gift and he loves to share it. In his musicianship, lyrics and live perfor-mance, he exudes an equal measure of fero-cious intent and heart wrenching beauty: as one fan eloquently stated “he’s a saw blade cutting though
fine silk”. Whether perform-
ing live, recording an album or writing for film, Wil is a dedicated and consummate pro-fessional.
Wil uses his legend-ary live show perfor-mances to develop his expansive roots-rock sound to create a style that is honest, edgy, raw and delicate yet achingly beautiful all at once.
One such perfor-mance was writ -ten as “as having so much power and soul it could stop your heart.”
Another recent addition to the 2012 program is Rocky M o u n t a i n Re b e l Music (RMRM).
RMRM combine fo rc e s t o c re at e broadly influenced and super high energy music that drives the crowds into a dancing frenzy.
Recently voted Vic-toria’s Favorite Band by Monday Magazine, RMRM is charged by Reggae, Rock, Funk, Dub, Dancehall, Punk, and World Rhythms, delivering an original sound that defies com-parison.
S h r e d d i n g g u i -tars, bubblin’ keys, smooth horns, hand
percussion, drums, and heavy bass form the rough and rug-ged foundation upon
which vocals rise and fall like the tide on Vancouver Island’s rocky coast.
A quick glimpse at the BTO website illu-minates the breadth and scope of the 2012 line up. Performers include Vancouver based alt rockers B l a ck M o u n t a i n , death country trio Elliott BROOD, Aus-tralia’s Aurora Jane,
Luciterra, Humans, Longwalkshortdock, Mind of a Snail, Mor-love, Flying Fox and the Hunter Gatherers, Kermal Evans and many more including an awesome roster of local talent.
In addition to Vil-lage Park, Big Time Out 2012 is offering seven other amazing venues throughout the Village including an all ages Pyramid Lounge at the Cum-berland Recreation Institute featuring Funk Hunters, Long-walkshortdock and a wicked roster of Island Dj’s, art shows and installation art projects, dance work-shops, shadow puppet theatre and live local bands at three down-town pubs – your wristband gets you access to all of this.

Care to have a little fun while celebrat-ing Campbell River’s heritage?
You’ll have your chance at Spirit Square on Saturday, Aug. 18, from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m.
It’s the third annual Heritage Day, and it’s not what you might expect.
“What is our heri-tage?” asks Spirit Square Manager Jim Creighton.
“We think it’s more than just our history.
It’s our whole com-munity fabric.
It’s who we are, our past and pres-ent, and how we live together.” With this in mind, Spirit Square wants to entertain as well as infor m. Local
musician Rick Benn is ready to open his repertoire of favou-rite oldies, and the Museum Heritage Puppet Theatre will perform two shows for the kids.
With a background of displays from the Daybreak Rotary Club, the Canadian History Project, the Museum at Campbell River and the City of Campbell River, local educator Trevor McMonagle will tell us why he’s “Hot on Haig-Brown”.
Campbell River’s Michelle Albrecht will tell us about her par-ents, Lawrence and Francis Dion, who
helped initiate the Association For Com-munity Living, and long-time avid fisher-man Guy Adams will reminisce about a long life on the water.
Through the magic of theatre, the special guest this year will be one of the original Sisters of St. Ann, fresh from her duties at the town’s former Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital.
You can also try and stump Professor Knowitall and win great prizes.
Come and visit Her-itage Day at Spirit Square next weekend. There’s something for everyone.

Campbell Riv-er’s Discovery Fishing Pier
is celebrating its 25th anniversary! For 25 years the Pier has been used as a recre-ation facility, a meet-ing place and a desti-nation for tourists.
“The Pier is a source of pride for this com-munity,” Says Ben Luck, concession operator for the Pier. “Many locals bring their visitors down to the Pier to show it off and to have ice cream. I often hear people saying, ‘Don’t you wish you had a place like this in your com-
munity?’”Sustainability is a
word we hear often in today’s society.
The Discovery Fish-ing Pier and the more recent Pier Street Farmers Market are major contributors to Campbell River’s social sustainability. The Pier and market provide a destination for many folks – a place where people can plan to meet or simply bump into old friends.
Luck says he sees three groups of people down at the Pier; tour-ists, locals and “local locals.” The local
locals are the folks who gather at the pier almost every day.
The Pier is their social anchor. They provide Luck with a mug for their coffee and Luck keeps the mugs clean and safe.
Regular locals visit the pier to enjoy the ice cream and a pleas-ant walk.
Tourists are directed or taken to the pier by proud locals who want to show off this gem – especially on a Sunday when the Pier Street Farmer’s Market is running.
Enjoying the views, the good salt air, the great coffee and the best ice cream in town brings people back time and time again.
The Discovery Pier
was built to provide fishing opportunities
for people and it has evolved into a hub of
social activity, repre-senting much more
than fishing to Camp-bell River.
People agree it is marvelous that 25 years ago, the City of Campbell River had the foresight to build a truly accessible facil-ity which has become a center of activity for tourists, locals, and local locals.
The city is celebrat-ing 25 years of the Dis-covery Fishing Pier and 10 years of the Pier Street Farmer’s Market on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Discovery Pier entrance.
Some of the high-lights will be a kids fishing derby from 9 a.m. until noon, cake cutting at noon, free prizes drawn at 2 p.m. and free commemora-tive shopping bags for the first 100 people to enter the draw.
After 25 years, the pier has become our meeting place

It wasn’t long before the ice cream became as big an attraction at the pier as the fishing and the view.

Cheque this outWith the help of Cyriel DeBruyne, manager of Quality Foods, and the residents of Campbell River, Campbell River’s Fire and Rescue firefighters raised $3,226 at the pancake breakfast on July 1 – a new record for this event. Quality Foods provided all the supplies for the pancake breakfast and the money will go towards Muscular Dystrophy Canada, providing research funds, equipment and support for those who suffer from this debilitating neuro muscular disease.
The Campbell River Women’s Centre is launching its annual School Supply Drive.
This project has been organized by staff at the Centre for the last eleven years and involves the distribution of basic school supplies to the children of low income families.
Last year’s drive saw the distribution of close to 400 bags of supplies for children from Kindergarten to Grade 12. The Drive’s success is due to out-standing support from local businesses, indi-
viduals, community organizations such as the Altrusa Club, and corporate sponsors such as Walmart and the Coastal Commu-nity Credit Union.
However, this year the School Supply Drive is off to a slow start and Women’s Centre Staff are expressing some con-cern over a slower than usual rate of donations.
“We are a little worried,” said Event Coordinator, Marnie McLachlan, “unless donations pick up we’re going to be in a position of scal-ing back either the amount of supplies we provide or the number of children we serve.
“The drive is being held a little earlier than usual this year, and people may not
be aware that the distribution dates are racing up on us. We are hoping that the community will con-tinue to embrace this event and respond to the needs of our low income kids.”
“People can help us by donating new school supplies. Cash donations are always welcome and people making cash dona-tions are eligible for a charitable tax receipt.
Donations may be dropped off at the Women’s Centre between 10 a.m. – 3 p.m., Monday to Thursday, or at the Coastal Community Credit Union dur-ing business hours. People wanting more information about the project should call the Centre at 250-287-3044.”

Rachel Blaney, exec-utive director of the Immigrant Welcome Centre, has accepted an invitation to join the Conference Board of Canada’s Leader-ship Roundtable on Immigration.
“We are very pleased with Rachel’s accepted invitation of this amazing opportu-nity,” Diane Bojsza, board chair of the Immigrant Welcome Centre, says. “It is a compliment to the communities we serve and an acknowledge-ment of the local lead-ership and expertise concerning immigra-tion in our rural com-munities.”
The Conference Board of Canada is a respected voice in
Canada. Its’ mission “builds leadership capacity for a better Canada by creating and sharing insights on economic trends, public policy and organizational perfor-mance.”
The goal of the Leadership Round-table on Immigration is to develop and
implement effective strategies for attract-ing, integrating and retaining immigrants into the Canadian workforce. There is also a research com-ponent that allows the roundtable to provide direction on relevant and timely immigra-tion research.
The Immigrant Welcome Centre of North Vancouver Island was invited to join the roundtable after Diana Mackay, Director of Education, Health and Immigra-tion Programs, of the Conference Board of Canada presented at the “Diversity Lives Here” Conference held
in Campbell River in May 2012. Diana was impressed by the coor-dinated approach that the Immigrant Wel-come Centre provides in the smaller commu-nities it serves, lead-ing to the invitation.
“This experience will lead to more opportunities for the region we serve.” Blaney states. “The roundtable has rep-resentatives from leadership in big busi-ness, small business, government, universi-ties and foundations. Because immigration is an important factor in Canada’s future, it is my goal to make sure smaller commu-
nities are remembered in the planning pro-cess.”
The Immigrant Wel-come Centre serves the Comox Valley, Campbell River and the North Island.
The centre provides services to immi-grants to help them integrate and settle into Canada. Over 350 clients have been served in the past six months, as immigra-
tion continues to bring innovative and skilled newcomers to the community. For more information contact the Campbell River office at 250 830-0171.

This year, over 60,000 tonnes of garbage will be hauled to landfills operated by the Comox Strathcona waste man-agement (CSWM) ser-vice, filling up space equivalent to approxi-mately 35 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
So the CSWM service is encouraging people to reduce the amount of garbage generated in the first place by try-ing worm composting.
Workshops at the CSWM compost edu-cation centres in the Comox Valley and Campbell River will show participants how to make a worm bin just for kitchen scraps. The workshops will be at the CSWM’s compost education centre in Campbell River on Sat-urday, August 11 at 10 a.m. and the CSWM’s Comox Valley compost education centre on Saturday, Aug. 18 at 10 a.m.
“ D i s c a r d e d fo o d scraps make up about 34 per cent of the weight of an average residential garbage can,” said Koreen Gurak, CVRD’s man-ager of communica-tions. “Composting those scraps reduces the amount of garbage we send to the land-fill, and it produces healthy soil that nur-tures healthy plants.”
Vermicomposting is a simple process used to convert organic waste into a usable product and can be achieved by setting up a worm bin inside one’s home. The worms don’t eat the leftover kitchen scraps; rather, they eat the bac-teria and fungi that are actually eating the food scraps. The intestinal mucus of a worm is an excellent food source for some bacteria. They can thrive and repro-
duce inside the worm’s body, resulting in far more bacteria emerg-ing from the digestive tract of the worm then were ingested in the first place.
As a result, worm castings provide ben-eficial microorgan-isms as well as plant growth hormones and nutrients to the soil.
They have been shown to increase seedling germination, enhance growth and in some cases, impart disease resistance to plants.
“I love talking to peo-ple about their worm bins and helping them solve any problems,” said Elaine Jansen, compost education educator. “One of my
greatest joys is talk-ing to someone who learned how to make a worm bin from one of my workshops and moved on to start up worm bins for relatives and friends.”
Come for the free workshop and begin c o m p o s t i n g w i t h worms and improve the condition of your
soil -- watch your gar-dens come to life. For more infor mation on lawn and garden events, visit our web-site at www.cswm.ca/composting.The Camp-bell River compost edu-cation centre is at 228 South Dogwood Street, and the Comox Val-ley location is at 4795 Headquarters Road in
Courtenay.The Comox Strath-
cona Waste Manage-ment service is a func-tion of the Comox Val-ley Regional District (CVRD) and is respon-sible for two regional waste management centres that serve the Comox Valley and Campbell River, as well as a range of transfer
stations and smaller waste-handling and recycling facilities for the electoral areas of the CVRD and the Strathcona Regional District. The CSWM service manages over 100,000 tonnes of waste and recycled material and oversees a number of diversion and educa-tion programs.

Speed, contact, strategy, mud...what’s not to like about rugby? The Campbell River Atheletic Association kicks off its pre-season this weekend but is also still recruiting players.
Levins keeps running
Black Creek’s Cam Levins qualified for the 5,000 metre Olympic final by posting the eighth best qualifying time on Wednesday at the Olympic Stadium in London. This after he finished 11th in the 10,000 metre final.
He will now run the final on Saturday and be the first Canadian to run in the event in 100 years. Levins qualified for the final with a personal best time of 13 minutes and 18.29 seconds.
CLAUS ANDERSON/ATHLETICS CANADA
Cam Levins has qualified for the 5,000 metre final inthe London Olympics which will go Saturday.
You only get better by playing against the best.
Utilizing that phi-losophy, a number of members of the T h o m p s o n R ive r s University WolfPack women’s soccer team – including Campbell River’s Emily Bailey – kept their skills sharp
and bettered them by being members of the Kamloops Heat this summer.
Under the direction of long time WolfPack assistant coach Kelly Shantz, the 14 players were part of a team which competed in the Pacific Coast Soccer League Premier wom-
en’s division.“We had an excel-
lent year,” said Shantz. “The PCSL Premier division is possibly the toughest open division in the country for ama-teur women’s soccer. There were 12 teams, all of them good, sev-eral outstanding. We set goals to start the
year: take it seriously, work hard, play to win, have fun and making the playoffs. Honestly, I didn’t think we would make the playoffs in our first year.”
The Heat finished fifth in the regular season and after one of the higher placed teams bowed out of the
post season, were slot-ted into fourth where they lost to the even-tual league champion Faser Valley Action in the semi finals. It was a match decided on pen-alty kicks.
Shantz said the Wolf-Pack players all made strides under his tute-lage over the past few
months. “As you’d expect,” he
said. “The players who were red shirts with TRU in 2011 had the biggest learning curve trying to keep up while the roster players and starters fit into the pace of play quicker. No doubt though that they all got noticeably
better as the year pro-gressed.
“I know the girls who were red shirts or didn’t play a lot last year: Kristy Seaby, Layne Kraushe, Court-ney Dennill and Emily Bailey helped them-selves a great deal with all the extra work they did.”

In Loving Memory of Al D'Alessandro "Big Al"
July 25, 1949 – August 12, 2010
We thought of you with love todaybut that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday, and days before that too.We think of you in silence,we often speak your name.
Now all we have is memories, and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake,with which we'll never part.God has you in his keeping,We have you in our hearts.
by Karen Jr
Your loving wife KarenLove your daughters Karen and Korina,
grandaughters and mother Nonna and families.

If Heaven wasn’t so far away,I’d pack up your 3 great grand babies
And come visit you for the day.Introduce them to their Great Grandparents;
Watch you cuddle them and hum a tune.Tell you both about what’s been going on,
How proud you’d be of your family.I’d tell you that we will be back,
Watch you wave to us in the rearview mirror.Losing you both wouldn’t be this hard,
If Heaven wasn’t so far away.
Love the Entire Famdamily

Two years have come and gone so fast.I think of you oft en; remembering our past.
I talk to you each day, Sometimes not knowing what to say.
I still struggle to fi nd the strength to move forward each day.
Dad, I miss you so much and wish you were here. Close in my heart, you’ll always be near.
Still loving you more each day, Leah, Kyle, Judy and Dennis

Eleven years - seems like yesterday and forever. You are close in our hearts;
we miss and love you always.
Our thoughts are with the families and friends of the men lost that day

Out of Position?Beware the Airbag!
Out of sight, out of mind. This is
a phrase that we often use to describe
something that is easily dismissed or not
important unless it is not in our direct view.
The airbags in our vehicles defi nitely fall
into this category, but this should not be
the case. If they are ignored, they can hurt
as much as they help during a collision.
If I were to place a bet on whether you
had read the entire section in your vehicle’s
owner’s manual about airbags I would bet
that you haven’t. I make this guess based on
what I see happening around me in traffi c
when I travel. You would not be a front seat
passenger with your feet up on the dash if
you truly understood what would happen
to you if that airbag deployed. Ditto with a
pillow against the B pillar sleeping if your
vehicle has side curtain airbags.
An airbag deployment is really a
controlled explosion. It has to be ready in
the blink of an eye in order to get between
you and your vehicle in time to protect
you. Remember, the trigger occurs after the
start of the collision with whatever you are
colliding with and the force of deployment
is signifi cant.
You may consider it too boring to bother
with but it may fall into the category of
“you’ll be glad that you did.” If you haven’t
read your vehicle’s owner’s manual about
seatbelts and airbags, it’s time to dig it out
now. The education is worth your time and
could save you from serious injury.

with many years of traffi c enforcement
