Ambulance attendants were unable to revive a man who fell into the water at Discovery Har-bour Marina Wednesday morn-ing.
At approximately 2:30 a.m. the Campbell River RCMP and BC Ambulance Service responded to a report of a male who had fallen in the water at the Discovery Har-bour Marina.
The male was located in the water by his companions and pulled out onto the dock. Medical intervention was unsuccessful at reviving him and he was pro-nounced deceased at the scene.
“Alcohol was believed to be a fac-tor in this unfortunate incident,” said Staff Sgt. Troy Beauregard of the Campbell River RCMP.
The deceased was not a Camp-bell River or area resident. His name is not being released at the request of the family. Police along with the BC Coroner’s service continue to investigate.

Campbell River Daybreak Rotary is again holding its first Duck Dip as a
major community fundraiser. The funds raised through the
annual day are allocated for projects within Campbell River.
This year in partnership with the City of Campbell River, Day-break Rotary has made some significant changes to what used to be the Duck Race on the
Campbell River. Now it is a ‘family-oriented’
day being held at Centennial Park on Sunday, Aug. 26 from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m.
Featured activities that appeal to younger children – hockey shoot, story time, fish pond, petting zoo, face painting, Bouncearama, free family swim, etc. – will be provided. Then people can watch as blind-
folded dippers scoop this year’s ‘lucky ducks’ from the their dunking in Centennial Pool. There will be great music and food during this event.
In its 25 years as a local ser-vice club, Daybreak Rotary has built the Maritime Heritage Centre and more recently con-tributed to the creation of Hill-crest House.
Discovery Pier lights, Youth
and Seniors Partnership Proj-ect, an annual Christmas fam-ily lunch for single parents, the playground at the Tyee Spit, the hospital gardens are just a few examples of the imprint Rotar-ians hope to leave each year in the community.
This year’s major goal will be completion of the Waterpark which is under construction behind the Sportsplex.
Duck Dip 2012 migrates to Centenial PoolMembers of the Daybreak Rotary Duck Dip organizing committee eagerly anticipate this year’s fundraising event being held at Centennial Pool on Sunday, Aug. 26. This family-oriented day replaces the duck race on the Campbell River as the club’s big fundraiser for community projects.

City council gave the green light to the repair and maintenance of the Simms Creek culvert under Galerno Road but not before get-ting an earful from a former road construction supervisor.
Mike Gage kicked off Tuesday night’s council meeting and lam-basted city staff for its “incompe-tence.”
Gage, who supervised road con-struction for 25 years, had his own thoughts on the Simms Creek cul-vert, which city staff say is dete-riorating and needs replacing as soon as possible.
“In my opinion, the culvert over Simms Creek is not about to fail and collapse as some city staff have suggested,” Gage said. “I’ve dealt with similar projects many times. The integrity of the culvert is good and should last 25 years before being replaced, and then it should be replaced by an open bot-tom, gravel-lined arch type struc-ture.”
Instead, Mayor Walter Jakeway said the city will put a liner inside the culvert and install grout at either end, in between the two pipes.
At Tuesday’s meeting, council awarded the project to McElhan-ney Consulting Services Ltd. at a price tag of $193,455 to come from the city’s Storm Water Parcel.
The culvert was not scheduled for repair until next year, but an evaluation in June by a city con-sultant determined the culvert has broken down to the point it can no longer carry the applied loads – vehicles, a water main, a gravity
sanitary sewer, a concrete encased Telus duct bank and a natural gas main. Speed bumps, a concrete divider and a 30 kilometre per hour speed zone were installed in an attempt to slow down traffic and prevent further deterioration of the culvert.
Gage said those measures are ineffective and only serve to annoy motorists.
“The present concrete divider and speed bumps only serve to aggravate the users of Galerno road,” Gage said. “I would have thought speed bumps would be the last thing to be installed there, they should just leave it the way it is and rather than travel across that area if it so fragile, it (should not have vehicles on it period), not just slow down and have the impact of 35 to 40 tonne loads on it.”
Gage continued calling out city hall.
“There never was so little done, with so many staff,” Gage said. “And to council, you should been seen as being concerned about the expenditures that support your constituents and not so much in favour of any tenure for any incompetent staff.”
Later in the meeting, Coun. Claire Moglove took exception to Gage’s comments and his “deni-gration” of staff.
“For someone from the public to come to this meeting and call our staff incompetent is inappropri-ate,” Moglove said. “You might disagree with staff, I might dis-agree with staff, but to call them incompetent is totally inappro-priate and I would hope that next time the chair (mayor) would say something.”
Geo Data Solutions GDS Inc. has been selected to fly the air-borne magnetic sur-vey for the 2012 North-ern Vancouver Island (NVI) Exploration Geo-science Project.
The survey will be flown along northeast-southwest lines spaced 250 m apart. The survey is expected to start this month and Geoscience BC anticipates being able to release this new data set in early 2013.
The NVI Exploration Geoscience project was recently announced by Geoscience BC and the Island Coastal Eco-
nomic Trust (ICET), with up to $530,000 in funding from Geosci-ence BC, and up to $400,000 from ICET for a total project budget of $930,000. In addition, the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Inno-vation has provided generous support for stakeholder engage-ment in the project development phase, through the Campbell River Regional Eco-nomic Pilot initiative.
“In Canada Starts Here: The BC Jobs Plan, we made a com-mitment to capitalize on our natural advan-
tages and increase regional investment and job creation,” said Pat Bell, B.C. Min-ister of Jobs, Tour-ism and Innovation. “The Campbell River regional economic investment pilot has made it clear that col-lecting and sharing this survey data is cru-cial and Geoscience BC and the Island Coastal Economic Trust con-tinue to take the nec-essary steps toward attracting investment and family-supporting jobs to northern Van-couver Island.”
The NVI Exploration
Geoscience project is designed to generate new geoscience data for northern Vancou-ver Island, including the communities of Campbell River, Port Hardy, Port McNeill, Alert Bay, Port Alice and Zeballos. This new regional informa-tion will help attract mineral exploration interest and invest-ment, increase the understanding of the mineral potential, and provide local First Nations and communi-ties with more infor-mation on the geology in their area.

Te l u s w a n t s t o improve cellphone service around Willow Point but one council-lor is concerned the equipment needed could pose a cancer risk to the community.
Telus made a presen-tation to city council Tuesday night, pro-posing to put up a cell phone tower in Willow Point Park, near the baseball field off of Parkway Road.
“Telus is proposing to build a 30-metre mono pole at Willow Point park adjacent to the Sportsplex, in an area where the current cel-lular coverage is very poor – we get a lot of complaints,” said Brent Shannon, of Medal-lion Land Services on behalf of Telus. “The
feedback is that it will be an improvement to the area.”
City staff, working with Telus, recom-mended the phone company install its free-standing tower off the side of the baseball diamond and the all-weather field, adjacent to the treed area near the back nine of the disc golf course.
That set off alarm bells for Coun. Larry Samson.
“I think this is the wrong site,” Samson said. “The last thing I think we want to do, with the uncertainty around radiation lev-els, is put a tower site in our parks so the city can collect a certain amount of revenue. I think we have to be very careful. There’s been studies done for the last decade and longer on the harm-ful effects of radiation that have been affili-ated with or linked to these cell towers. To put it in our parks is just wrong.”
According to the Canadian Cancer Soci-ety, the World Health
Organization orga-nized a workshop in 2005 on cell phone tow-ers and wireless net-works to review health risks associated with radiofrequency energy. According to the Can-cer Society’s website, it determined “that cur-rent evidence doesn’t show any short-term or long-term health effects from the sig-nals produced by cell phone towers. How-ever, ongoing research is still looking at the relationship between cancer and radiofre-quency exposure from all sources.”
Coun. Mary Storry was also concerned about the location, and wondered if the tower would take away from the park.
“The tower itself is quite small and innoc-uous but the 10 meter x 10 metre fence (that would surround the tower) and the access road or pathway, I’m just wondering if we’re going to lose too much of our park space,” she said. “I’d really like to walk out there in the park and just pace it
out. I’d just like to go out and have a look at it. I’m not opposed to putting up the tower, I just need to go out and have a peek.”
Shannon said Telus is not set on the loca-tion that went before council, but that it was a spot recommended by city staff.
“This wasn’t even Telus’ preferred loca-
tion the reality is we’re pretty open to this location,” he said. “It will provide coverage for the people who are currently screaming for it. It’s one option, it doesn’t have to be there.” The spot Telus liked “was right in the same approximate area but this one is more tucked away into the trees,” Shannon
said. “These types of towers are in parks all across Canada but that doesn’t mean it has to be in a park in Camp-bell River.
“We were working with city staff (in the hopes) it would be a positive installation that would benefit the community.”
Coun. Andy Adams said in consideration
of Samson’s concerns about the tower loca-tion and Storry’s com-ments, he would like to refer the issue back to city staff for a report on possible locations and impacts.
Storry made the motion to put off any decision on the cell tower pending the staff report, which was passed by council.

Conditions are kin-dling dry in the woods a r o u n d C a m p b e l l River.
Wildfire BC listed the forest fire hazard for the area west of Camp-bell River as extreme yesterday.
“We haven’t had any
appreciable, steady precipitation in that area,” said fire infor-mation officer Donna MacPherson.
What’s more, the nights have been dry as well, as evidenced by no dew on the ground in the mornings. Over-night condensation allows the forest to recover somewhat but
with dryness persist-ing into the night, the forest is not recover-ing.
An extreme rating means extremely dry forest fuels and the fire risk is very seri-ous. New fires will start easily, spread rap-idly, and challenge fire suppression efforts. General forest activi-
ties may be restricted, including open burn-ing, industrial activi-ties and campfires.
So far, there has been no significant fires in the area and part of the reason for that has been the absence of lightning strikes in the North Island, unlike the south Island and the Lower Mainland.
Any fire activity there is has been caused by people.
“The more careful people are, the less chance we have of hav-ing (a fire),” MacPher-son said.
MacPherson said that despite the extreme fire hazard rating, things are about nor-mal for this time of the
year. There usually is a 6-8 week period in late summer where condi-tions get tinder dry.
“It’s about average for this time of year,” MacPherson said.
So far, no campfire bans have been put in place and people can help in preventing the need for one. Any fire activity there is has
not been caused by campfires so as long as people are proving to be careful with their fires, the fire centre can hold off longer before placing a ban.
Hot dry weather is expected to continue today with tempera-tures of 29 degrees predicted into the weekend.

Council got tied up trying to smooth things over with a building developer for the sec-ond meeting in a row Tuesday night.
This time around council found itself making an exception to a city bylaw in order to keep applicant Brett Giese’s four-storey, 47-unit apar tment project on the corner of Dogwood and Mere-croft, on track.
At the council meet-ing prior, on July 24, council scratched a clause in Seymour Pacific’s development permit to appease the developer.
In Giese’s case, there was a difference of opinion between the developer and city staff centred around underground power lines and who should be responsible for pick-ing up the tab.
Giese had already been granted a develop-ment permit by council last month but when he got to the building permit stage, he was informed by city staff that a bylaw requires he pay for the instal-lation of underground wiring – a project that could cost Giese up to $77,150.
“The Subdivision
and Development Ser-vicing Bylaw No. 3419, 2010 outlines various off-site works and ser-vices that are required through a subdivision or at a building permit stage,” said Ross Black-well, city land use man-ager. “The reason for the bylaw is to achieve the broader community objective whereby the developer, as opposed to the taxpayer, pays for the infrastructure improvements asso-ciated with develop-ment.”
Money from the developers then goes into a city account set aside for major infra-structure projects. In this case, the city wants to bank funds to move power lines underground in order to expand the Dogwood and Merecroft intersec-tion to allow for dedi-cated left-turn lanes.
But Giese said that’s a huge financial burden, as he’s expected to put up a 125 per cent bond to the city to ensure the landscaping plans match with the work that’s actually done, plus 100 per cent of the costs to do the actual landscaping.
G i e s e, wh o h a s applied for three other development permits in Campbell River said he has never had to pay for underground wir-
ing before and wonders why now.
“The representation has been made repeat-edly that staff is trying to create a level play-ing field for all devel-opments,” Giese said. “There hasn’t been a level playing field since the bylaw was passed two years ago, and I do not understand how can staff decide that the next development per mit that walks through the door will be the one to set an example for all of the others.”
Giese said he’s being treated unfairly and the bylaw has not been applied to other recent projects in the city including the new Tyee Chevrolet show-room, Shar-Kare Mini Storage, Rose Harbour transition shelter on Dogwood, and a new car wash on Ironwood Road.
“I am merely request-ing that I be included on the level playing field and treated fairly by having local bylaws applied to me the same as they have been to other developers and land owners,” said Giese, who was left to wonder whether he should move forward with his apartment project at all.
Blackwell said the Shar-Kare developer
did not pay for under-ground wiring because overhead lines were already located on the opposite side of the street. As for Rose Har-bour, a Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the city and BC Housing, which included a com-mitment by the city to cover site servicing and development costs. With the car wash, a portion of the front-age was dedicated to the city, which brought the development below the thresholds to trig-ger the bylaw. And in the case of Tyee Chev-rolet, Blackwell admit-ted underground wir-ing should have been required, but it got missed in the build-ing planning stage, an omission by city staff.
Staff recommended Giese be exempt from paying for under-ground wiring on the Merecroft portion of his property which cuts in and around Telus’ property which includes a statutory right-of-way and 68.8 metres of combined frontage along Mere-croft and Dogwood.
But Giese wanted council to make an exception for his entire property, including the 77.9 metres his pro-posed building will run along Dogwood Street.
Chris Osbourne, plan-ner for the city, said in a report to council that an argument could be made to not consider the Telus right-of-way on the site and to waive underground wiring costs along that length but warned that reliev-ing Giese from the entire bylaw could be precedent setting.
Council, however, sympathiz ed with Giese.
“I’ve sat on various renditions of various commissions, commit-tees, and task forces and the one thing that has been consistent is fairness, consistency, certainty and that it’s realistic,” Coun. Andy Adams said. “And what I’m seeing here, while I appreciate what staff is doing, I don’t think this is any fault of staff with the inter-pretation, I think it’s the bylaw itself and while the bylaw was well-intended, I don’t think it really is realis-tic in certain portions. When you drive down the Dogwood corridor...from 9th Avenue all the way to Robron, there isn’t a single business or developer that has had to do this contri-bution.”
Council exempted Giese from paying for the underground wir-ing costs.

OpinionOpinionWHO WE ARE: The Campbell River Mirror is published every Wednesday and Friday by Black Press Ltd., 104-250 Dogwood St., Campbell River, B.C. V9W 2X9. Telephone: 250-287-9227; Fax: 250-287-3238.
In changes stemming from new population statistics in the most recent census, a proposed new federal riding boundary would bisect Courtenay along Highway 19A.
While Comox and east Courtenay would remain in Vancouver Island North, the other half of Courtenay and Cumberland would be part of a new-look Nanaimo-Alberni riding.
While it’s unsettling to think people on one side of the Fifth Street Bridge would have one MP and those
across the Courtenay River would be represented by another (possibly from a different political party), it would not be the end of the world.
There’s plenty of precedent in Canada for this type of arrangement. Prince George has, for example, been divided into three federal ridings for years.
One concern here would be that a Nanaimo-based MP might not understand or appreciate Comox Valley issues and concerns. Nanaimo residents might feel the same way if a Comox Valley candidate is elected to represent the riding.
This is nothing new. John Duncan and Catherine Bell in recent years have had to represent constituents from Fanny Bay to Port Hardy in sprawling Vancouver Island North.
Suspicious minds might wonder, though, if shifting left-of-centre voters in Cumberland and the islands might give a Tory in Vancouver Island North a better
chance to win.Under the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment
Act, ridings are regularly redrawn to ensure they are as close to the average population as reasonably possible. As part of the current proposals, B.C. would gain six electoral districts due to population increases. For details, visit www.federal-redistribution.ca.
You can share your opinion at a public hearing Oct. 15 at 7 p.m. at Crown Isle in Courtenay. To make a presentation, notify authorities by Aug. 30 by e-mailing [email protected] or mailing to Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for B.C., 1095 West Pender St., Suite 301, Vancouver, B.C. V6E 2M6.

Splitting the Comox Valley not the end of the worldOur ViewOur View
Just say no to the Northern Gateway Pipeline
We say: Dividing communities up in electoral ridings is not a new thing
The Northern Gateway Pipeline issue could potentially be a psycho-logical watershed moment for livabil-ity in British Columbia.
Polls indicate that support for the pipeline, on condition that it brings economic benefit to the province, is somewhere around 50 per cent. The number surprises me, I think it’s less.
But there’s potential that this issue could redefine this province from an environmental point of view. The reason being, that opposition to the pipeline is pretty strong and pretty pervasive. Even a person I know as a staunch political conservative is against it.
B.C. Premier Christy Clark is hedg-
ing her bets on it. Sure, her govern-ment’s position is on approving the pipeline if five conditions are met – one of them being a greater share in the financial benefits – but anything that doesn’t involve the Liberals fall-ing all over themselves to accommo-date a major development is a sur-prise.
What’s so universally obvious in this proposal is the realization that one of the most beautiful corners of the world is in danger here. The Yellowhead Highway cuts across the province following roughly the route this pipeline would take. I’ve driven this route many times and having in-laws in Prince Rupert, I know that the drive from that port town to Ter-
race, B.C. along the Skeena River is one of the most spectacular drives in the province and, therefore, the world.
This region also forms the core of the Y2Y – Yellowhead to Yukon – con-servation initiative which “seeks to preserve and maintain the wildlife, native plants, wilderness and natural processes of the mountainous region from Yellowstone National Park to the Yukon Territory.”
The province of British Columbia has also implemented a complex con-servation/land use management plan in the Muskwa-Kechika region of the province, just north of the pipeline route.
This is spectacular wilderness of
which, as we all know, there is less and less in the world. And that’s why I think this is a watershed moment.
An analogy that illustrates my point on this is what the voters in the City of Vancouver did in the 1960s. Residents opposed a freeway cutting through the centre of the city, which virtually every North American city was doing at the time. It forever changed the way Vancouver evolved and is in no small part responsible for it being continually judged one of the world’s most liveable cities.
Now, the Northern Gateway issue is on a much larger scale but the psy-chological moment is no less defin-ing. I think people in this province
Filed for publication with the MirrorDear Premier Christy Clark,As you know, recently Geoscience BC and Island
Coastal Economic Trust have provided $930,000 of funding to generate new, leading edge, technical geo-science data for northern Vancouver Island.
While speaking to people in Campbell River, Minis-ter of Jobs, Tourism, & Innovation, Pat Bell has been quoted saying “This initiative by itself, could be a major driver for your economy.”
I fully agree with Minister Bell, and I am ardently waiting for this to come to fruition. I strongly believe that Campbell River could be a mining hub for the north island. We have the resources and the expertise to explore and mine these resources under strict envi-ronmental regulations.
Providing $930,000 in funding is wonderful, but if the data collected goes nowhere in terms of developing the resources because of environmentalist nonsense, it will be a complete waste for the taxpayers of B.C.
Premier, I request and encourage you to show your loyal constituents and all the people of Vancouver

want to say no to this project. And that will send a huge message to the country and the world that for once, people get it that some-times natural values outweigh developmen-tal benefits. It’s a huge statement made loud and clear.
Already there are demonstrations going on in the region stat-ing opposition to the project. If it looks like it’s going to go ahead, those demonstrations will get louder, clearer and, perhaps, uglier.
The response from Alberta premier Alison Redford to Clark’s con-ditions has been typi-cal of the arrogance of big oil and its support-ers. They dismissively say, of course there will be environmental safeguards on the proj-ect and of course there will be community consultation. That’s easy for them to give lip service.
But the demand that British Columbia get a larger share of the economic benefits than they’re entitled to is really sticking in their
craw. And it may be the deal breaker. Which, of course, for many of us, is just fine. Break the deal.
Clark is not likely a closet environmental-ist so I don’t know if she is actually playing both sides of the fence by approving the plan by imposing a poten-tially deal-breaking condition. Then at the end she can tell the business community she tried to make it work while the softer environmentalist con-stituency (i.e., main-stream residents of
B.C.) can be appeased with the fact that the project just died.
If you’ve still got summer holidays com-ing to you, I suggest you take the ferry to Rupert, drive along the Skeena River then head up the Alaska Highway to the Yukon and see just what’s at stake. The cliche “so-and-so’s Serengeti” is used far
too much these days but the northern half of this province is as wild as it gets in this world and to spew oil all over it would be a disgrace.
You don’t have to be an environmentalist to appreciate this region’s natural values. And appreciate them over potential industrial revenue.

Island that your gov-ernment is not just paying us lip service.
Please show us that you are serious about making exploration and mining a priority and reality by pushing through the approval
of the Raven Under-ground Coal Project once you have received t h e E nv i r o n m e n t Assessment Applica-tion. Let’s get going. We need a major boost to our economy. We need to show investors that they are welcome
here in B.C. We need to ensure
the process is thor-ough, but not arduous. Right now investors are extremely cau-tious to invest in B.C., as all the red tape is extremely costly and cumbersome.
Minister Bell con-servatively estimates exploration could pro-vide 200-300 jobs by Spring 2013.
The Raven Under-ground Coal Project estimates it would pro-vide 800 local jobs.
We need these jobs,
and the economy of B.C. needs this invest-ment.
This will only occur with the full assistance and support of our B.C. government.
Please show your support.

An attempt by the mayor to achieve fair-ness between develop-ers was shot down at a council meeting Tues-day night.
Mayor Walter Jake-way re-introduced a development permit – approved by council on July 24 – for the owner of the former Willow Point Mazda building. Jakeway wanted to scratch a paragraph approved by council that gave approval to the permit but also allowed the city’s gen-eral manager of opera-tions the authority to approve building colour, materials and lighting.
Jakeway said he
wanted to remove that clause in order to make the development per mit conditions match with Seymour Pacific’s, which was approved by council that same night.
“We ended up remov-ing the second para-graph. So if we could make the two texts the same...,” Jakeway said, imploring one of the councillors to make that motion. “To make it fair for the two proj-ects.”
Coun. Andy Adams did make a motion to remove the paragraph from the former Mazda development permit, but it wound up being withdrawn.
Ross Blackwell, the
city’s land use man-ager, explained that the clause was only in applicant Orla Jens-en’s development per-mit because the city had not yet received information pertain-ing to colour, materi-als, and lighting before it went before council. Blackwell brought the development permit forward without that information in order to fast-track the process for Jensen. Blackwell said the information required was brought to the city the day after the meeting, making it unnecessary for the city’s general manager of operations to make any decisions around colour, building mate-
rials, and lighting, as was laid out in the paragraph Jakeway wanted removed.
“So if I understand correctly, this motion is moot and all the mate-rial under this con-troversial paragraph has been supplied?” Moglove asked.
“ T h at ’s e n t i re ly correct,” Blackwell replied.
City Manager Andy Laidlaw recommended council withdraw its motion, which it did.
“To expedite this and not put up any obstacles, my recom-mendation would be to remove the motion,” Laidlaw said.
Jensen’s develop-ment per mit was
issued by council last month to redevelop the former Coastline Mazda building into a mixed commercial, retail and office com-plex. Coastline Mazda is now located across the bridge at the north end of Campbell River, along the Island high-way.

Nine-month-old Eli Perry has a rare form of leukemia and will undergo a bone marrow transplant – donated by his brother – on Aug. 20. Help support little
Eli and his family Saturday at the barbecue fundraiser at Superstore in Discovery Harbour Mall from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Eli Perry was only three months
old when he was diagnosed with a
rare form of adult leukemia.
The Campbell River boy is now
nine months old and has spent
all but one week of the ensuing
months at Vancouver Children’s
Hospital with his mother.
He is now facing a bone marrow
transplant, which is set for Aug.
20. Following the transplant, for
which one of his big brother’s
will be the donor, he and mom
will enter 100 days of virtual iso-
lation for his recovery, to protect
him from any kind of infection.
As Eli is the youngest of eight
children, dad has stepped up to
the plate to keep house and home
for this large and lovely family.
An entirely new role for him to
undertake, having been the sole
breadwinner until now, his efforts
are truly impressive.
Meanwhile, as mom is an inte-
gral part of his medical team, the
family has spent a great deal of
time apart, traveling as often as
they are able, to keep mom and
Eli from being too lonely over in
the hospital in the big city.
In response to hearing this
story, the management and staff
of Superstore, headed by Gary
Ogrodnick, have decided to hold a
barbecue fundraiser on Saturday
from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
They would like to invite the

capacity to extend us this ser-
vice and it’s great that they
are finally able to admit this
so that the region can move
on with its own plans,” said
Leigh, director representing
Area D (Ocean Grove to Oys-
ter River). “In one way, I am
relieved that Campbell River
is withdrawing itself from the
project.”

UP TO THE CHALLENGEDon DescoteauNews staff
Cory Moore had just returned from a tour of Bosnia with the Canadian army when faced with
news about his grandmother, Lorraine Payne.
After beating esophageal cancer years earlier, Payne was in her final weeks in a battle against lung cancer. She lost the fight in 2003, less than a month after Moore returned home.
Payne was like another parent to him, says Moore, noting that he and his mother lived with his grandma through his formative years.
Now in his fifth year with the Victoria Police Department and a member of the Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock cycling team, Moore will be thinking of his grandma most as he undertakes the annual ride and fundraiser.
“She was an important part of my life,” says Moore, a police constable.
He’ll also be thinking of various aunts and uncles who have been lucky enough to beat cancer.
The Belmont secondary grad confesses he wasn’t much of a cyclist before this year.
Everything changed in January when Moore became a member of VicPD’s bicycle squad.
Later, after speaking with Barrie Cockle, a VicPD rider on the 2008 tour, he decided to tackle the arduous and emotional challenge of Tour de Rock.
“The learning curve (has been) fast and furious,” Moore says. “Now I’m on the bike probably six days a week.”
Like Moore, VicPD patrol officer Const. Jose Bingham was more a runner than a cyclist before being accepted onto the 2012 tour roster. He expects the gruelling training rides the group is doing will leave the team “over prepared” for the 1,000-kilometre tour, which goes Sept. 23 to Oct. 5.
Bingham, Moore and fellow 2012 Tour de Rock rider, third-year VicPD Const. Kyle Roy, have each met their junior rider – a child going through or recovering from cancer treatment who is assigned to each tour rider.
Each police officer has been struck by the courage shown by the youngsters and the gratefulness of the families for the B.C. Cancer Society, the Tour de Rock and the riders.
A married father of a 12-year-old son and
a nine-year-old daughter, Bingham lost his stepfather and an aunt to cancer and watched a good friend endure breast cancer treatments at age 33.
The thought of children going though the pain and treatment of cancer is just “mind-boggling,” he says. “They don’t have a chance in life before getting hit with that.”
Roy, who also has experienced family with cancer, understands the power of the tour.
“Other riders from years past say the big one is Camp Goodtimes,” the Esquimalt High grad says – the team visits the camp in Maple Ridge this week. “That’s really an opportunity to see the whole scope of what the Cancer Society does for families. To
see it in action is the turning point for a lot of riders.”
All riders on the tour have a $5,000 individual fundraising goal.
While he will endeavour to raise that much and more, Bingham is keen to help make a difference in the lives of children fighting cancer and family members who support the youngsters through the ordeal.
“(We heard) it used to be a one-in-five survival rate (for children with cancer), now it’s four in five. That’s quite a dramatic difference,” he says.
“It’s through fundraising and research into treatments. What we’re doing right now, in the long run it will make a difference. We may not see the immediate impact, but my hope is in the long run we will.”
Victoria police officers gear up for the physical and emotional toil of Tour de Rock

DR. PERRY KENDALL PROVINCIAL HEALTH
OFFICER
As summer vacations come to an end, and we begin to look forward to the fall, it is a good time to start thinking about how to best pro-tect ourselves and our loved ones from ill-nesses like influenza.
The Public Health Agency of Canada estimates that between 2,000 and 8,000 Cana-dians die every year from influenza and its complications. B.C. provides the flu shot for free each year to those considered at higher risk of develop-ing influenza compli-cations, or those who care for them. That list includes:
■ People over age 65 and their caregivers.
■ Children and adults with chronic health conditions and their household contacts.
■ Health-care work-ers.
■ E m e r g e n c y responders.
■ Healthy children aged six months-five years.
■ Household con-tacts and caregivers of children aged zero-five years.
■ Pregnant women who will be in their third trimester during the influenza season.
■ Residents of nurs-ing homes and other chronic-care facilities.
■ Aboriginal peo-ples.
■ People who are very obese
Even if you are not considered a person of high risk, if you regu-larly interact with or work around some-one who is, I strongly encourage you to get vaccinated for their sake. High-risk popula-tions can suffer severe consequences from influenza, including death. Bacterial pneu-monia, an infection of the lungs, is the most common complication from influenza, espe-cially in elderly peo-ple. It can also lead to more complications for people who have heart,
lung or other health conditions.
For these reasons, it is especially impor-tant that health-care workers get their flu shot each year, and I would like to acknowl-
edge and thank those health-care workers who do get vaccinated.
As a physician myself, I know how important it is to protect patients. All of the major profes-sional health care bod-
ies, such as the College of Registered Nurses of British Columbia, support vaccination of health-care workers. Unfortunately, each year throughout B.C., fewer than 50 per cent
of health-care workers get immunized against influenza. This rate is too low – patients deserve better. Some jurisdictions in the United States have managed to achieve 95
per cent coverage of health-care workers. There is significant evidence in long-term care facilities that high health-care worker influenza vaccine cov-erage results in dimin-
ished illness and fewer deaths. Getting the flu shot should be consid-ered standard patient safety practice for all health-care workers who come into contact with patients.

My time at Del Rio Academy has been a rewarding and overall great experience. From the teachers to the students, it is a very welcoming atmosphere. Since attending Del Rio’s esthetics program, I have become confi dent with the hands on experience and realized I love what I do and will succeed in the working world thanks to hard work and Del Rio.
Going to Del Rio has been a great learning experience that has prepared me for my career.

A loon’s call is a clas-sic sound on pristine Canadian waters, and with tits large size and musical, stuttering call, this aquatic bird is destined to remain a national emblem.
Four loon species fre-q u e n t t h e Pacific North-west, with the large 80 cen-timetre (32 inch) Com-m o n L o o n most often seen, true to its name.
Other local species include the Pacific and, a rare winter vagrant, the Yellow-billed.
The Red-throated Loon (Gavia stel-lata), at 64 cm (25 in), may be the smallest and slimmest of our loons, but a brilliant brick-red throat patch and striped nape in summer make them a
delightful, if uncom-mon, find.
Over the past few weeks, photographer Brian Kyle has regu-larly encountered a lone ‘Red-throat’ while
paddling the C a m p b e l l River estu-ary.
Local bird enthusiast Ed Silkens commented that the spe-cies is not often seen i n l o c a l waters.
Proficient swimmers and divers, loons prey largely on fish, often surfacing to swallow them following an underwater pursuit; a very long pointed, dagger-like bill is per-fectly appointed to that task.
Heavy birds, most loons must taxi out of the water with long, furious paddles in order to become air-
borne. Distinctive in loco-
motion, the ‘Red-throat’ is the only
loon able to spring directly into the air from land.
The ‘Red-throat’ winters south along the Pacific Coast, to southern California, but usually breeds at higher latitudes.
In autumn, it ’s worth a trip down to the estuary to see this gorgeous bird, known as ‘Plongeon cat-marin’ to the French.

cent of court-ordered environmental fines are not paid by offend-ers in BC. (Source: West Coast Environ-mental Law)

Habitat for Humanity Vancouver Island North is looking for Campbell River women to form the city’s first ever Women Build team.
The program has already begun in the Comox Valley and the Women Build team there has just launched a new fundraising initiative — and it’s a ‘wonky’ one.
Some members of the Comox Valley women-only team built a chil-dren’s playhouse to raffle off, which it very aptly dubbed Wonky House.
“It’s called a Wonky House because every wall, window, roof, everything is off-kilter on purpose,” explained Women Build coordina-tor Cristi Sacht with a grin, adding Habitat for Humanity Vancouver Island North’s (VIN) build co-ordinator Peter Sanderson gave the women a hand because they didn’t have build-ing experience. “It was a nightmare to try to build because nothing’s square and so we liter-ally were flying by the seat of our pants and of course, none of us have technically built any-thing, so it was a really great exercise for us to
kind of get in there, use the tools.”
The carpentry prac-tice will come in handy because not only are these women responsi-ble for raising $100,000, but they are also responsible for build-ing half of one of three duplexes in Habitat for Humanity VIN’s hous-ing project to help local families obtain their own homes.
The Wonky House is not gender specific, and features strange angles with the windows, walls and roofline set askew.
Local artist Kelly Sart painted butterflies, flowers and bees on the walls on the inside with
a chalkboard painted blue sky background so kids can draw on the walls with chalk.
Raffle tickets for the
house are a minimum $5 donation and people can check out the house at various community events around the Val-
ley.According to Sacht,
tickets will be avail-able until the Women Build team dedicates its house to the new home-owner, which will likely be next Mother’s Day.
Five sub-teams of
women have signed up for the Women Build team, and about $22,000 has been raised. Sacht said the teams are doing well, but she would like to see a total of 10 teams on board with a total of 200 women.
Teams should be about 10 or more women, but some are bigger; right now about 100 women are involved in the proj-ect, and Sacht wants to get that number to 200.
She’s looking for women from Campbell River to participate in Habitat for Humanity projects here and she’s also looking for more corporate teams.
For more informa-tion, or to start a team contact Cristi Sacht at [email protected]

Bursaries further educationAt Wednesday’s lunch meeting of the Rotary Club of Campbell River a total of eight $1,000 Bursaries were awarded to assist local high
school grads further their educations. Pictured from left to right: Rotary Club President Todd Peachey: Tori-Lynn Temple, Timberline
(Carleton University B.Sc. Physics); Madison Kelland, Carihi (UVic Education); Laurence Poirier, Carihi (UVic Psychology); Cameron
Haight, Carihi (N.I.C. Culinary Arts); Cody Despins Carihi (UVic B. Sc. Biology); Kayley Bernard, Timberline (B.C.I.T. Medical Radi-
ography); Roxanne Bachand Carihi (N.I.C. B.Sc. Nursing) and Bursary Chair Bruce Woermke. Missing from the photo was Kariann
Alcorn, Timberline (Camosun College Arts & Science). Funds for the Bursaries come from the Campbell River Rotary Club Foundation,
The fund has grown to six figures - mostly due to donations from club members and fundraisers within the club. Interest from the funds,
augmented by bingo funds, now allow the club to award up to nine Bursaries per year. Approximately two hundred Campbell River area
grads have benefited from Bursaries from the club.
With the arrival of warmer weather across the South Coast, RCMP are once again renewing their appeal to the community to be vigilant when it comes to basic crime prevention.
Police across B.C. have noticed a significant number of insecure premises which present themselves as crimes of opportunity for burgeon-ing thieves. A common method of entry for resi-dential break and enters during the summer is through open doors, windows, or garages.
“Please take the necessary simple steps to pre-vent your summer holidays for being memorable for the wrong reasons,” says Surrey RCMP Sgt. Drew Grainger. “Protect your property to avoid falling victim to an opportunistic thief.”
Last summer, RCMP in Surrey nabbed a pair of prolific property crime offenders that were target-ing homes in that city. Many of the homes were ransacked during the day when homeowners were either at work or away on vacation.
To ensure a “Safer Summer”, RCMP recom-mend making sure door and window locks are working and in use, locking the door while work-ing in the yard, closing and locking all windows each time you leave your home, and arranging for a caretaker when on vacation.

I watched a commercial truck begin
to leave the brake check as I approached
the summit of Highway 4 outside of Port
Alberni today. I knew that if the driver
accelerated as he was entitled to I would
have to follow him for a few kilometers
of downhill grade at speeds signifi cantly
lower than the 80 km/h speed limit. I wasn’t
in a hurry, but I wasn’t looking forward to
this either.
This driver was watching his mirrors
and saw me approach. Instead of continuing
to accelerate he maintained his speed
instead and let me by before pulling into
the through lane. I waved my thanks as I
got close to the cab and received a wave
in return. This driver was a true gentleman
and put my convenience ahead of his right
of way.
The incident was a small one in the
great scheme of things, but I appreciated
the gesture and felt good that this driver
would care enough to do something nice
for a stranger. It is defi nitely a stark contrast
to the usual selfi sh driving behaviours that
I see going on around me every day as I
drive. Why can’t we all be like this man?
Driver psychology is very diffi cult
to infl uence. Traffi c tickets, advertising
campaigns and learning from the experience
of others may not have a strong effect as
we are all better than average drivers and
can easily blame others as the source of the
problem. However, if we could all try to
follow this fellow’s example our highways
could be a better and safer place to be.
The author is a retired constable
with many years of traffi c enforcement
experience. To comment or learn more,

Artists looking for a new twist on creative expression will be interested in the Camp-bell River Art Gallery’s Wearable Art Fashion Show.
The Gallery has put out a call for submis-sions for artists who want to create one or more pieces for the show, with generous prizes in a variety of categories. The dead-line for submissions, which should include sketches or photo-graphs, is Aug. 28.
For those unfamiliar with this cutting edge art form, wearable art is a flight of fancy that is sure to both shock and delight. The show format gives a pass-ing nod to traditional fashion shows, but otherwise the pieces presented could better be described as sculp-ture.
Artists create their pieces, usually with a narrative theme, to be shown and performed by models.
The show, held on Saturday, Oct. 20 in con-junction with a silent auction, offers artists a chance to compete for prizes and awards that include Audience Choice, Best of Show, Best Use of Recycled Materials, Best Perfor-mance, and Best Artis-
tic Concept.And for those who
look forward to the event itself, tickets go on sale Sept. 1, at $30 for members of the Campbell River Art Gallery or $35 for non-members, which includes sumptuous snacks and a no-host bar.
The silent auction will feature funky jew-elry, crafts and beauty-
related services. All proceeds go
towards supporting children’s program-ming at the Gallery.
This is the Gallery’s third annual Wearable Art Fashion Show and it’s sure to again be a sellout event.
Artists wishing to enter a piece should submit an application form, available at the Gallery or on their
website www.crartgal-lery.ca
E n t r y i s j u r i e d and entrants will be notified by Sept. 11. The Gallery, in Tyee Plaza, is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. in the summer.
Fall hours, starting Sept. 4, are Tuesday to Saturday, 12-5 p.m.
For more informa-tion call (250) 287-2261.

Janet passed away peacefully in her hometown of Victoria, BC. She is at rest
after a lengthy battle with Parkinsons that she fought with courage and determination. She was always a loving wife and mother who put the needs of her family before her own. Her kind and compassionate nature were evident to all who she encountered during her 18 years of service at Yuculta Lodge. Janet spent her last years in Sandringham Care Centre where her spirit and sense of humour worked their way into the hearts of the staff that cared for her.
A celebration of Janet's life will be held at the Campbell River Commuity Hall Lounge(upstairs) at 2:00p.m., Saturday, August 25, 2012.
In lieu of fl owers, donations may be made to the Parkinsons Society.

He is survived by his loving wife Saskia, his parents Vera & Detlef Recktenwald and Lisa & Jim Rice, as well as his siblings Nadja Recktenwald and James Rice and Carley Rice, and special friends Andrew, Terry, Claudia, Jennifer & Kyle, Simon, Libby & Chris, Karen & Andy, Doctor Guenter Klein.
No public service will be held at this time. Edmund’s wish was to only have a small service with close friends and family at a later time.
In lieu of fl owers and cards, donations can be mailed to Toneff Tuneral Services, PO BOX 3774, Courtenay, BC V9N 7P1

in Campbell River and beyond
Whether they’re building aircraft or maintaining ships at sea, NIC trades graduates are spending their summers hard at work this year.
Some even had a job waiting for them before graduation.
Jeff Allam is an Industrial Automation program graduate who received free tuition and a guaranteed military position through the Canadian Forces‘ Paid Education program.
“It was a great opportunity for me to learn a trade I was interested in and start my career,” said Allam. “I was always interested in working with the military and the two of them just lined up.”
This Paid Education program is also available to NIC’s Professional Cook and Aircraft Structures program
students — three of the 15 trades and apprenticeship programs available to students at NIC’s Campbell River campus this year.
Eligible students earn free tuition and books, full-time salaries, medical and dental benefits, and paid vacations, in return for military service.
It’s just one of the many career choices available to trades students in the region.
As a skilled aircraft structures techni-cian, Barnaby Papp’s qualifications’ were highly sought after by aviation companies across the island from the day he got out of school.
“I got out of the program and got a job the next day,” said Papp, who works at Sealand Aviation, a busy Campbell River company working with Viking Air Ltd. to build Twin Otter aircraft for the Russian, Chinese and Argentinian markets.
Students in the 10-month Aircraft Structures program receive Transport Canada certification toward their AME-S licence.

First Insurance sponsored a beauti-ful night of racing at Saratoga Speedway.
The Bomber cars, Old Timers, I.M.C.A Modifieds and the Motorcycles were all on the racing card on Saturday
Jim Deas had a great night in the Motorcy-cle division, dominat-ing the field to win all three races featured on Saturday.
Tim Openshaw and Dano Bryant were involved in a big acci-dent in the I.M.C.A
Modifieds, breaking Bryant’s rear axle.
Openshaw managed to get his car back together for the main event and dominated it, leading all 15 laps of the feature race.
Eight Old Timers showed up for their first appearance of the 2012 season. James Miller was having an average night up until the main event. Miller found himself in first on lap 7 and he never looked back from there. Duane Zeinstra was chasing
him but he randomly pulled off the track on lap 14 due to mechani-cal issues, giving the win to Miller. Stewart came into Saturday with a 162 point lead in the Bomber car division. Lee qualified the fastest, won the reverse heat.
Lee and Travis Ste-venson battled for first and second in the 30 lap main event, but Lee would even-tually get around Stevenson and he wouldn’t look back from there, spreading
his points lead even farther.
Extra laps...Next weekend marks Saratoga Speedway’s fourth annual bikini contest. This year they are expecting 20-30 girls to compete for the $1,000 grand prize. First runner-up will receive $500, and the second runner-up will receive $250.
Next weekend also marks the second Crash to Pass boat race of the 2012 sea-son. The Hornet cars, figure 8’s and the
Roadrunners will also be on the racing card next weekend. The Wilroc Sprint cars will be making their last appearance the follow-ing weekend. These cars run lap times of 14-16 seconds, making these cars the fastest cars that race at Sara-toga Speedway.
The I.M.C.A Modi-fieds, Bomber cars, Dwarf cars and the Motorcycles will also be racing that night, so make sure to check out these great racing events.

Thinking of Buying a Second Home?
If you have
been thinking of
buying a second
home then you
need to know the
options available.
The good news
is that you can
purchase a second
home with 5%
down using
the same set of
qualifi cations and
requirements as
your primary residence. And as long as you
and the property qualify you can still get the
same great interest rates as well.
A second home is classifi ed as a second
residence and not a rental – this is very
important. In order to qualify as a second
home there are some requirements that need
to be met. You or a relative of yours must
intend to occupy the property at some point
during the year on a rent free basis. If you
plan to rent the property out then it is not
considered a second home and is therefore
subject to different qualifi cation rules – this
would be classifi ed as a rental property and
would require more down payment.
Your income would be required to service
the new mortgage and no income from the
property would be considered. If you need
rental income to help service the debt then
you would need to treat the property as a
rental.
While there are great options to help you
buy a second home, it is important to know
the information up front in to make sure you
and the property qualify. Please call me any
time if you have any questions or need any
fi nancing assistance. This article is supplied by Mike Parkinson, Mortgage Professional, Dominion Lending Centres Producers West Financial. This article is for information purposes only.

Hacky sack diplomacyDuring their trip to Guatemala, Campbell River highschools students in International Co-op program visited
the small community that makes the Timberline grad hacky sacks each year. And they took the Mirror’s
Canada Day flag cover with them. The students’ support of the hacky sack production helped build a school
and church for the community. These ladies work every Saturday all year to make the hacky sacks and the
money is donated to the school and church building.

A number of engage-ment and consultation activities are underway as the provincial gov-ernment continues to deliver on the 12-point plan to improve ser-vices to people with developmental disabil-ities, Social Develop-ment Minister Stepha-nie Cadieux says.
Since the release of the comprehensive plan in January, an inter-ministry team – including the minis-tries of Social Devel-opment, Children and Family Development, Education and Health, along with Community Living BC – has been working to develop an integrated deliv-ery system that will improve supports for people with develop-mental disabilities and their families.
This work includes engagement with indi-viduals with develop-mental disabilities to better understand the supports and services they want to receive.
