Claire Trevena’s successful bid to retain her seat as North Island MLA cost her $70,087, according to Elec-tions BC.

But Trevena’s victory cost her $9,477.65 less than her closest oppo-nent, Nick Facey of the BC Liberals,

whose total election expenditures were $79,564.65.

Trevena also had more money to play with. Her total election income was $97,333. Facey’s was $62,211.48, leaving his war chest with a deficit of $17,353.17, accord-ing to Elections BC’s 2013 General Election Financing Report which is available online at http://contri-

butions.electionsbc.gov.bc.ca/pcs/Options.aspx

Finishing third in the May 14 general election on the North Island was BC Conservative Party candidate Bob Bray who also spent the least – a total of $7,380.38. He received $7,120.11 in income.

Trevena won the election with 11,885 votes compared to Fac-

ey’s 9,883 and Bray’s 1,675. That amounts to $5.90 a vote. Facey spent $8 a vote. Bray’s votes cost him $4.40 each.

Campbell River seniors may have finally found the perfect home – at least for now.

The Seniors Society is proposing to set up a seniors’ centre split between two locations – the Sportsplex and the Community Centre.

Both are city-owned buildings and representatives from the society were at the Aug. 13 council meeting to ask permission to use the facilities.

“The Campbell River Seniors’ Cen-tre Society would like to request that the council allow the society to use space in city-owned buildings rent free to facilitate the establishment of a seniors’ centre in Campbell River with the partnership of the city,” said Bruno Fornika, chair of the building committee which has spent several months trying to find a place for the seniors’ centre.

The legend of skipper Benny Lagos runs in

the tide now.For more than seven

decades Lagos was one of the top performing skippers for the Cana-dian Fishing Company in a career that began in a rowboat and ended on a fully-powered seiner.

On Monday, follow-ing a brief illness, Lagos died in Campbell River. He was 99.

“He knew the tide and the water better than anyone I’ve ever seen. He had a sixth sense,” says Jim Lagos, a nephew who often worked for his great uncle aboard the 70-foot seiner Cape Knox.

Born Jan. 11, 1914, in Vancouver, Lagos was the second of four children to Hjinio Lagos and Anita Johnston – and he was destined to become a great commer-cial fisherman.

His father was a fish-erman and so was his grandfather Rosalio who took the boy gillnetting up to Johnstone Strait when he was just eight or nine years old.

The impression was everlasting on Lagos who would spend much of his life in the “straits” (Johnstone) fishing sockeye and “dog” (chum) salmon as well as fishing coast-wide for herring.

He was among the top “high-liner” skippers year in and year out for the company and so many old photographs show his boats laden with prized sockeye and herring.

On the 71st anniver-sary of his career with Canadian – he finally retired after 73 – the legendary Lagos was honoured by another highly-respected skip-per, Ollie Chickite, the last owner of the historic BCP 45 fishing vessel.

“As a salmon seiner and herring seiner he (Lagos) was one of the finest,” Chickite wrote on an engraving that

appears on the replica model of the Cape Knox, that is housed in the Maritime Heritage Centre alongside the BCP 45.

Early Fishing YearsLagos moved around

the Pacific Northwest as a youth and didn’t attend much school.

He did learn fishing and went on his first seine trip with George Glendale, aboard the Glendale III, when he was 14 years old. It was 1928.

Five years later, his first with Canadian Fishing Co., Lagos was in Rivers Inlet where he learned the nuances of tides, changing wind patterns and, most importantly, delivering your catch on time.

Lagos was among several young-buck fish-ermen in wooden row-boats who were towed out in line to deeper waters by one of the big-ger company power ves-sels. From there Lagos would peel off and then row, or put up sail, and head to his favoured fishing grounds.

The company sup-plied nets that were set by hand and then it was up to Lagos to make sure he caught the tides, currents and winds to return to the

packer. And if you didn’t return at tow time, as they headed back to the cannery, you were left behind with a quickly

rotting catch.Lagos never starved,

but there were some lean years.

He would settle on Quadra Island where home was a cannery workers’ cabin during the off-season months and then a boat cabin during fishing season. Lagos often rowed to catch his dinner and regularly rowed across Discovery Passage to Campbell River to col-lect his pay cheques.

New FacesIn 1932 he married

the Scottish lass Jessie and together they raised two children, Ben Jr. and Ina. Jessie passed away in 1992 and Ben Jr. died in 2010. He was also a commercial fisherman.

The couple enjoyed coming to Campbell River to bowl. On the fireplace mantle of Lagos’ home sits two trophies: one from 1951 for the Men’s High Single and the second from ‘52-’53 for the Campbell River Mixed 5 Pin Champs.

Family was as impor-tant to Lagos as fishing, but duty to provide always came first. It pained him to be away from his wife during their anniversary – dog

salmon season – and when Jessie “had the nerve” to expect their second child during sockeye season, there was only one thing to do. He sent for Jessie, a few belongings and they came to Rivers Inlet. Ina was born in a Rivers Inlet cannery and laughs with gusto as she tells the story.

In 1943, Lagos met a fellow skipper, Lloyd Vaughn. The two would become fast friends and lifetime workmates, as Vaughn served aboard Lagos’ vessels as a deck-hand on sockeye and herring fisheries.

One time, during the Second World War, Vaughn urged Lagos to sneak his vessel in the dark by the gunnery check point at Yorke Island in Johnstone Strait. But the ever-cau-

tious skipper thought otherwise.

But, after a bit of arm twisting, Lagos relented and they did make it by the regularly bored and often zelous military. However, on the way back – as the story goes – the gunners put a shot “across their bow” and that’s when Lagos imme-diateley turned around and signed in.

The End of FishingVaughn died a few

years ago, and by that time the true commer-cial fishing industry had

also passed in Lagos’ opinion.

He was born and raised to be a high-liner who understood the intricacies of strong tides in specific loca-tions, how to maneuver in these precarious spots and how to catch the prized sockeye runs that danced in those tides.

Benny Lagos under-stood this and he also understood the best fishermen were rewarded.

“There were times we would have half a boat load before anyone else started,” recalls Jim

Lagos. “Benny had such finesse.”

He also had a cool and calm nature that served him well particularly in crises situations.

“He was the first to come help and the last to leave,” says his grand-son Wally Barber. “He was a true gentleman fishermen.”

But he was also com-petitive and that ended for him with the wrap-up of “derby” fishing, replaced by collective catches. The end was in sight by 2005, but Lagos decided to go with a crew of old hands for

one last run.Unfortunately, it

wasn’t the best of seasons and the crew decided that was no way to send out an old sock-eye fisherman.

So, at that year’s skip-per’s wrap-up dinner, the patriarch of skip-pers asked the owners of the Canadian Fishing Company for one last sockeye season aboard the Cape Knox, a boat he had run – and it was well-run by now – since the 1970s.

Of course the owners had no choice but to say yes to 92-year-old

Benny Lagos, much to chagrin of fellow vet-eran skipper, and much younger, Gerry Roberts who reportedly groaned, “Now I’ve got even lon-ger to wait to retire!”

That year, 2006, was a fine sockeye season. Lagos and crew deliv-ered their catch to Vancouver and then cel-ebrated the night in style on the town.

“He’s not a humpy (pink) fisherman – and that’s no slight to the guys who are – Benny Lagos was a sockeye fisherman,” says Jim Lagos who was aboard

the Cape Knox those last two journeys. “It’s pretty neat when you go from the start of fishing...well, to the end.”

In the modest home on Thulin Street in Campbell River where Lagos finally moved to in 1985, the walls are covered in fishing

photographs, mainly of happy family holding sportfish catches.

Benny Lagos’ favourite piece of salmon was the tail – no bones. A tenta-tive celebration of life service is being planned for Sept. 21, at the end of the fishing season. Details to be announced.

North Island financing report contains some interesting details. For example, Facey’s finan-cial sources were more varied than Trevena’s.

Facey received $17,300 in campaign contribu-tions from individuals and corporations while the BC Conservative Party pumped $44,661.48 into the North Island constituency associa-tion’s war chest.

Trevena received a total of $18,487 in politi-cal contributions. As you would expect, zero of it was from corporations and only $1,097 of it was from individuals. Treve-

na’s biggest contributors were trade unions, which contributed $3,401, and “other identifiable con-tributions” (the N.I. NDP constituency associa-tion and others) which pumped $13,889 into the campaign coffers.

Trevena was supported by her party to a more significant degree than Facey. The BC NDP gave Trevena $78,596.

As for signif icant expenses, Trevena spent the biggest chunk of money on “promotional material” (signs, bro-chures, etc.) – $29,526. Facey spent $11,115.34. On media advertis-ing, Trevena spent

$5,659, significantly less than Facey who spent $26,052.98.

Face y a l s o sp ent $6,873.02 on research and polling, on which Trevena spent zero, and Facey spent $2,364.37 on travel while Trevena spent $481.

Province-wide, the B.C. Liberals spent $11.75 million on their way to a come-from-behind victory, outspending the B.C. NDP’s $9.4 million.

Corporate contributors

gave $5 million in dona-tions to the Liberals, followed by individuals at $2.4 million, unin-corporated businesses at $420,000 and $385,000 from other sources.

The NDP got nearly $2.6 million from indi-viduals, $2.5 million from trade unions and $2.1 million from cor-porations. The Green Party of B.C. spent just $180,000, while the B.C. Conservative Party listed $155,000 in expenses.

The Campbell River Mirror welcomes Kim

Cook back to their advertising sales team.

“I am very excited to be a part of the talented team at the Campbell River Mirror,” Cook said.

In 2011, Cook moved her family to Fort McMurray, AB, “there are plenty of exciting

developments happen-ing in the community of Fort McMurray, but in the end we missed the lifestyle the Island has to offer, with my daughter going into Grade 10 it seemed like the right time to move back.”

Cook says she is look-ing forward to working with local businesses to develop their marketing and advertising plans.

She brings over nine years of experience in news print advertis-ing, a year of it with the Campbell River Mirror prior to her departure to Alberta. Cook will be starting on Monday, Aug. 26, “I am looking forward to seeing past clients and developing new relationships with the business owners in Campbell River.”

York Road area resi-dents having problems with their water pres-sure can expect some improvements after Area D director Brenda Leigh resurrected the issue which had been put on the back burner.

Strathcona Regional District staff had delayed moving forward with a booster pump station despite the board of directors approving the money for the project in this year’s budget.

Russ Hotsenpiller, chief administrative officer of the regional district, said the project “was on hold” because the regional dis-trict was “looking at the implications of the pro-posed boundary exten-

sion and what that would mean.”

Hotsenpiller was refer-ring to the City of Camp-bell River’s proposal to extend its southern boundary to annex 1,000 Area D residents from Jubilee Parkway south to Henry Road to provide their households with city sewer service.

But Leigh said the households affected by the low water pressure are not a part of the area the city is considering.

“This area that has been experiencing low water pressure for years is outside of the bound-ary extension implica-tions,” Leigh said. “It’s south of that, so it has nothing to do with that.”

L eigh noted that $335,000 had already been authorized by the

board earlier this year to be taken from Area D’s Gas Tax Funds to go towards the project. Leigh became aware of the hold up during staff ’s second quarter work plan presentation to the board July 25.

“I don’t know why we’re not going ahead with it,” Leigh said at the July 25 meeting. “If we need a pump station and it’s in the budget, then I would like that acted upon. I want it to be spent on Area D con-stituents to get the pres-sures we need. We need that pump station. I don’t think staff has any reason not to implement what the board has already acted upon, and soon.”

Two weeks later, at a board meeting Aug. 7, Leigh put forward a

motion to issue a Request for Proposals to find a contractor to build the booster pump station and use the $335,000 for the project. That motion was approved by the board. Leigh explained that the southern end of Area D, particularly York Road, is receiving well-under the required pressure.

“We’re supposed to be delivering 80 pounds of pressure per square inch and I’ve talked this over with our CAO who said we’re down to 40 pounds and that’s not accept-able,” Leigh said. “The water has to go up the hill to up to 135 homes in the York Road subdi-vision, plus York Road. When you get to the end of the line, some people get nothing.”

Leigh wants the pressure to get to Area D residents

Four-way O.K.The temporary

four-way stop at the intersection of Shoppers Row, Tyee Plaza and 10th Avenue gets a thumbs up from motorists.

Mayor Walter Jakeway said he’s received numerous compliments about the city’s new traffic pattern.

The four-way stop controls an increase in

traffic on 10th Avenue created by the detour to accommodate the St. Ann’s road closure.

“I’ve had lots of e-mails asking if we could make the four-way

stop on Shoppers Row a permanent fixture,” Jakeway said. “People trying to get in and out of Tyee Plaza and across the street from the other side find it really helpful.”

There have been stories written this summer about shellfish harvesting on the beaches of Vancouver Island.

Some residents believe — and there’s no reason to doubt them — people are illegally harvesting shellfish, especially

the huge and elusive geoduck.The federal Department of Fisheries

and Oceans (DFO) suggests people call their toll-free line when they suspect illegal activity (1-800-465-4336).

We understand there are cutbacks and finding a conservation officer — either provincial or federal — is no easy task.

These few officers now have large regions to patrol and many duties.

Often, when a business or government agency can’t afford real people any longer, they ramp up their websites in an effort to partially fill the gap. The DFO website has a lot of information but it’s very difficult to navigate. We’re talking maps and layers and tables and overlays and, well, just finding where you can or cannot harvest shellfish is a half-day chore.

And that’s if you’re web savvy.Unfortunately, the people who take what they want, in

the amounts they want, with no regard for the species or sanitary closures or red tide warnings, don’t likely read rants like this or pay attention to websites or warnings. We hope their stories don’t end with sick or dead family members or friends, but that’s not out of the question.

Nor is the endangerment of certain shellfish species out of the question if this illegal harvesting continues.

Relying on residents to tattle is no way to handle conservation. The DFO needs to do a much better job, for the sake of residents (aka the taxpayers who fund the department) and the species it is charged to protect.

That means up-to-date signage at every beach access, an easier-to-navigate website and more on-the-ground staff (summer students from marine biology courses?) during the busy summer months.

If federal officials bury their heads in the sand beside the geoducks on this issue, it may spell the end of a fun, educational and tasty part of life.

Pressure on the government for skills training

We say: There’s not even any help on DFO’s web site

Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk has offered some advice for stu-dents heading for post-secondary edu-cation this fall.

In a commentary sent to B.C. news-papers, Virk reminded students that his task “is to ensure post-secondary stu-dents obtain the experience and quali-fications needed to put a paycheque in their back pocket.”

B.C. is forecast to have one million jobs to fill by 2020, through a combination of retirements and economic growth. More than 40 per cent of them will require trades and technical training, and for students, likely a move north.

“My advice to students is to look at where the jobs are based and tailor their education and training to match,” Virk

wrote. “Our population is concentrated in the Lower Mainland and southern Vancouver Island, but as a resource-based economy, many directly and indi-rectly related jobs are located elsewhere.”

That’s not the only blunt message for students deciding on a career. While defending his ministry’s spending plans in the recent legislature session, Virk described some of the problems that are entrenched.

Parents, particularly in immigrant communities, push their children towards medicine, law, dentistry or engi-neering, he noted. Students themselves gravitate toward areas that are familiar to them, such as teaching.

B.C. universities graduated 2,000 new teachers last year. Another 850 arrived

from out of province and were licensed to teach in B.C. During the same year, the B.C. school system hired 800 teach-ers. And many of those jobs were outside metropolitan areas.

It’s been hammered into us by the B.C. government’s endless “jobs plan” advertising, and a similar campaign by Ottawa, that more students need to focus on trades and resource industries. Virk acknowledges that his budget contains another $1 million for advertising, the same as last year, much of it to rein-force the need to fill skilled jobs. But he danced around the question of whether there will be spaces in technical pro-grams.

NDP critics say the waiting list for these kinds of programs at Kwantlen

University and B.C. Institute of Tech-nology are running between a year and three years. And they have frequently noted that advanced education spend-ing is budgeted to decline by $42 million over the next three years.

Virk said post-secondary institutions working with industry have produced 456 additional seats in high-demand programs for this year. It’s a start.

In July, Premier Christy Clark joined the chorus of premiers protesting Otta-wa’s plan to claw back $300 million in federal training money to provinces, for its new employer-driven Canada Jobs Grant. Clark and New Brunswick Pre-mier David Alward were assigned to find an alternative to this drastic shift

It was my birthday last week and I was given a great gift. My new girlfriend, Karen, arranged a stay at the Homfray

Lodge, a new retreat with cabins a great dock and outstand-ing hosts.

The weather in the gulf was a bit too windy for me to take my boat back to Pacific Playground. Arrangements were made to get us to the Powell River Ferry. I was dropped off with our gear and went to get tickets. I had plenty of money in the bank but nothing left on my cards and no cash. It was 10 minutes to sailing and I found out you cannot use debit, my cards didn’t work and with no cash, no hope to catch the Ferry.

I was a little despondent. I knew we could not get to a cash machine and back before it sailed. This is where a great citi-zen of your town stepped in. She was travelling alone and without a thought she bought three tickets! She said “just pay it forward.” Really?

I was too emotional to speak but said “thank you so much” and went back to get Karen, explain what happened and get down to the ferry. By then I had gathered my emotions and felt so blessed. Then here she was, our little angel,, we talked more and I realized I had about half of a

and report back in the fall.As usual, the NDP spent lots of time grilling Virk

about student debt and the alleged need to reduce it. Ministry statistics show that about 30 per cent of students take out loans from the federal-provincial program, and the average is $20,000.

One of the latest changes is a program of grants that go toward student debt as a reward for those who complete their chosen program. With 23,000 students collecting $41 million in grants, it might be working. For all the fuss about student debt, stu-dents pay only about a third of costs. The rest is on taxpayers, whether it produces any useful educa-tion or not.

Virk is under instructions to review the student loan program “to find further improvements to meet students’ needs.” Given the magnitude of the gap between what skills our education system pro-duces and what the economy needs, a larger shift in priorities is needed.

Campbell River Com-mon Mall rent-free but the seniors were forced to move when the land-lord needed the space.

Since June, the seniors have been located at Radiant Life church, behind the downtown fire hall and next to Coast Realty, but hours are limited and it’s only a temporary shelter.

Fornika said the seniors have been assured by city staff that the Sportsplex is available Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m., Thursdays and Fridays from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. and Mondays from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m.

The Community Cen-tre is available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.

but it’s one room and a smaller space with no access to a kitchen.

The Sportsplex on the other hand has two rooms available and a kitchen with a commu-nity dishwasher.

Coun. Andy Adams said he was pleased to see city staff work with the seniors society, which has searched high and low for a suitable build-ing, to try and find a solution.

“I want to applaud your society in its collabora-tion with city staff in finding an interim solu-tion until you’re able to obtain the desired long-term goal,” Adams said.

Adams made a motion, which was approved by council, to have staff report back on the rami-

fications of allowing the seniors rent-free use of the two city facilities.

Coun. Claire Moglove, before voting in favour of the motion, wanted to ensure the report could come back to council within two weeks so it would not hold up the seniors.

“I absolutely applaud the concept, I just need to know, as a council-lor, what the ramifica-tions are,” Moglove said. “Whether there’s revenue lost, or what that means. I wouldn’t want to post-pone it. The sooner we can get this done, the better.”

City staff said they would be able to have the report back to council by its next meeting which is this Tuesday, Aug. 27.

20 lb Spring I had caught at the Homfray Lodge. I offered her the best piece. At first she said no, but she knew her husband of 18 years would just love it! So we parted again she saying we were even.

I know, though, in my heart, the kindness she showed will be passed on to someone in need – no questions asked! Thank you Campbell River for having such a great citizen and thank you our spe-cial angel, your grace will be paid forward!

Campbell River resident Linda Young has all

the luck.Young was selected

as the lucky winner of a barbecue for up to 40 of her close friends and family in Coca-Cola’s Summer BBQ Bash.

Young entered the Coke-sponsored con-test while at Campbell River’s Save-On-Foods on a whim.

“There was a ballot box in the store and I entered,” Young said.

Her prize is a barbecue with $20,000 worth of food and beverages from Overwaitea Food Group.

She plans to hold her barbecue in September at Miracle Beach.

Young was chosen from among partici-pants from all over B.C. and Alberta.

But that shouldn’t come as a surprise.

When it comes to con-tests, Young has the luck of the Irish.

Just over five years ago, Young won a $5,000 sailing trip down the Strait of Georgia, cour-tesy of Two Oceans

Winery. At that time, Young

and her husband Jim were celebrating their wedding anniversary at the Royal Coachman Neighbourhood Pub and stopped by the pub’s liquor store.

There, she filled out an entry form for the sailing trip and two months later, Young was informed she had won.

The couple, who enter contests all the time, have also won a beach umbrella from Bud Lite, a cooler, a bike and a Canucks jersey, among other smaller prizes.

Visitors can again enjoy the beauty of Raft Cove Provincial Park, located on the northwest coast of Vancouver Island.

In consultation with other agencies, BC Parks made the decision to close the park Aug. 10, following the increase of visitors for the World

Rainbow Gathering. The anticipated increase in visitors raised concerns over public health and safety, the protection of the natural environment and the preservation of park values.

Members of the Rain-bow group concluded that Raft Cove Provin-

cial Park was not the right location for their event and worked with BC Parks to clean up the site before they departed.

A site assessment was completed and the park is now open.

For more information about BC Parks, visit: www.bcparks.ca

A total of $1,000 was raised by Wal-Mart customers who purchased paper bricks to go towards Habitat’s Hilchey Road build next summer. Wal-Mart matched what was raised. The fundraising campaign for Habitat for Humanity’s second Campbell River home for a needy family officially kicks off next month.

Campbell River Mirror - August 19, 2010

Call Tyee Chevrolet Buick GMC at 250-287-9511, or visit us at 570 - 13th Avenue, Campbell River. [License #10780]

Late summer is a time when orchards are full

of ripening fruits and a time when wildlife is beginning to build up their fat reserves for hibernation in the com-ing winter months.

This is also a time when is an increase in the number of sightings and confronta-tions between humans and large mam-mals that can present a danger and certainly they can become a nuisance. This year has seen an increase in calls to Mountainaire Avian Rescue Society (MARS) requesting help in rescu-ing fledging birds and baby mammals.

In the last few weeks the center has received or rescued five eaglets that appeared to have either fledged or were pushed from the nest. The reason why these birds left the nest pre-maturely is not clear but it seems that more people are aware and watching the eagle trees and nests and in some cases are providing food for the eaglets on the ground. Usually, if a young eaglet falls or is pushed out of the nest, the parents will feed them on the ground, but if the adults are inter-rupted by humans or the brush is too dense, they will often abandon the young.

Feeding wildlife either in backyards or in their natural habitat appears to be causing some con-cern, it is also against the Wildlife Acts. If we leave nature to its own balance it will naturally cull weak or sick birds and animals but by feed-

ing wildlife we are interrupt-ing this natu-ral process. Another area that reflects this change of natures balance is seen in the decline of one species and the increase

in another. A perfect example of this seems to be the smaller numbers of fawns this year and the emergence of more cougars.

In the next several weeks the large mam-mals, bears and cougars will be out foraging on fruit and small mam-mals and there are sure to be encounters with wildlife and humans. Black bears are mainly vegetarian eating fruits and berries but also dine on salmon.

Cougars are meat eaters mainly dining on deer, rabbits and racoons but will also eat sheep or other young farm animals.

Bears are very resourceful and surpris-ingly agile climbers and are readily attracted to garbage cans. Large clawed front feet enable them to pry off lids and doors following their

acute sense of smell to locate the food source.

To prevent bears becoming a nuisance which will often require them to be trapped and relocated or sadly destroyed, we urge homeowners to make sure all food is safely stored and garbage cans firmly shut with a bear proof lid.

Cougars are solitary, elusive and mysterious creatures that command a large territory. Unlike the bears, cougars stalk their prey before attack-ing or, being proficient climbers, they will wait up in the tree and ambush the unsuspect-

ing prey jumping down from a height of up to 60 feet. Urban areas are continuing to grow in both the Comox Valley

and Campbell River. This means that the local wildlife popula-tions are also being squeezed into smaller

spaces providing easy hunting grounds for the predators. Each year the B.C. and national envi-ronmental agencies put out guidelines on how to protect against a bear or cougar attack.

Do not let children walk alone in wooded areas, both animals seem to be attracted to their small size and erratic movement. Supervise outside play in back yards.

Do not feed deer or other wildlife that will attract the cougar. Take down bird feeders, deer and bears will also come to dine!

Keep dogs on a leash

when out on trails they can attract both animals.

Never approach a bear or a cougar, always give them an escape route.

Stay calm, talk in a loud confident voice, pick up children and small dogs.

Do not turn your back on the animal or run, back away slowly make yourself appear as big as you can.

Carrying walking poles or a large stick can deter an attack, people who fight back have survived bear and cou-gar attacks. Make lots of noise when you are walking to alert wildlife to your presence.

Seventh Annual Discovery Passage

PassageThe start of this year’s Discovery Passage Passage included paddlers from Surrey, Van-couver, Nanaimo, Parksville and Courtenay as well as Campbell River. This was the most chal-lenging weather encountered in the past seven years. A few paddlers got a little wet during the crossing but canoeing and kayaking are water sports so its expected. It was reassur-ing to know that the Power Squadron’s Safety crew and Coast Guard are there when needed. One of the important elements of this event is to learn first hand the power of the elements in our local environment and to appreciate the impact it had on the lives of First Nation peo-ples and settlers alike. This event recreates basic elements of our history yet less than five per cent of local residents have ever made this crossing by paddling or rowing. Plan to paddle the passage next August.


About 60 boats – canoes, paddle boards and kayaks – made the journey from Campbell River to Quadra and back on Saturday during the annual Discovery Passage Passage. (Clockwise from above) They set off from Georgia Quay; All manner of vessel was used; A resident seal was there to see them off.


Volunteers assisted paddlers in launching from the Georgia Quay.

Mount Washington held its annual Mud, Sweat and Tears obstacle chal-lenge last Saturday. Teams and individuals were faced with road blocks such as climbing wall, mud pits, a rope swing, an old car that competi-tors had to jump up and over top of, as well as two short swimming portions. Pictured clockwise from above, a team of two wade through a mud pit. A team from Campbell River leads the pack out of the starting gate. Coun. Larry Samson gets to work on the rope swing. Teamwork gets a team member to the top of the rope swing.

Eleven beautiful big rig trucks graced Saratoga Speedway on Saturday.

Heath Farmer of Parksville set a new track record of 23.720 in his 1990 International Rig, which was the first new track record of the 2013 season.

Ten laps were given to their only race, with Farmer dominating that as well.

A soaked track also made for an amazing boat race, with the win going to Cam Edward (#40), who outlasted eight other cars to win his first ever boat race.

A full field of 24 hornet cars hit the track with three heats given to each class. Trevor Cannon (#05) won the C, Dave Dawes (#53) won the B, and Kevin Lawrenuk (#01) won the A event.

A 25-lap B main event saw Karl Kurpeila (#24) take the lead and hold it for the majority of the race, until Jeremy Stormo (#81) found his way around Kurpeila on lap 21 and win his sixth main event of the year, closing the gap between

him and points leader Raymond Fortier (#12) who had to withdraw early due to mechanical issues.

Twenty laps were given to a seven-car A main event; A hard charging Kyle Fallowfield (#14) found his way around Jennifer Lawrenuk in winning his second main event of the year.

Eleven crash to pass cars banged each other around. A rare dash was given to the crash to pass cars, with Billy Bri-macombe Jr. (#66) taking the win. One 12-lap heat was given, with the even-

tual win going to “The General” Jeff May (#01). Twenty laps were given to their main event; Shel-don Hopp (#73) held the lead for the first 18 laps, until a restart saw him spin out, opening the door for Edward to take the lead and the eventual win, with Hopp finishing second.

A season high seven roadrunners also took to the track; Ted Dimi-trov (#73) took the 10 lap heat race. Dimitrov carried that momentum into the 15-lap main event, taking the lead on lap one and not looking

back from there, taking a clean sweep.

Brad Kennedy (#16) once again took a clean sweep in the Figure 8 class, winning the 8-lap heat and winning the 10-lap main event.

Extra laps...The fastest cars on Vancouver Island will make their third appearance of the year this weekend; the Wil-roc Lites average times of 13-15 seconds a lap. The championship for the motorcycles will also be decided, accompanied by the I.M.C.A modi-fieds, bomber cars and the Island mini stocks.

Boats, big rigs at Saratoga

The field of crash to pass cars hitched a boat to the back of their car and splashed around the track in a thrilling crash to pass boat race at Saratoga Speedway last Saturday night.

The Campbell River Athletic Association welcomes back its youngest athletes and invites new players (boys and girls born 2002-2006/ages 7-11) to try out the sport of rugby with a few fun and active free pre-sea-

Rugby try-outs next week

CR DanceX-treme’s com-petitive dance

team, known as Show-team, recently show-cased all of their 2013 group routines in Las Vegas against 68 dance studios from around the world at the West Coast National Dance Compe-tition.

Showteam danced their way to several specialty awards in the pre-qualifying round at the event. The young-est group (ages 8-12), competed in the Mini category and were awarded with the Most Unique Award for their hip hop routine, “Swag-ger Jagger” and the Best Artistry Award for their lyrical routine, “True Colours”. In the Junior category, CR DanceX-treme dancers received the Most Unique Awar” for their modern stage routine, “Fat & Greasy,” and in the Teen Cate-gory, the Showteam jazz routine known as “Light ‘Em Up” was given the Full Out Award.

After the pre-qualifying round, CR DanceXtreme’s Show-team headed to the National Dance Com-petition, competing against truly exceptional studios from across the U.S. and abroad. Some of the dancers in the competition have appeared on nationally televised dance com-petitions at the high-est levels. Despite the stiff competition, CR DanceXtreme’s Show-team members walked away with their heads held high. They were awarded with one third place finish in Teen Tap for their number called “Ritzy”, three second place finishes – for Teen Hip Hop (“C’Mon”), Teen Ballet (“The Real Life”) and Mini Hip

Hop (“Swagger Jagger”) – and two first place finishes – one in Teen Hip Hop for a number called “Get It” and one for Senior Hip Hop, for a number called “What-cha Say.” The “Swagger Jagger” score placed the group in the top nine high scoring studios for the Mini Division.

“Ritzy’s” score placed in the top 15 high scor-ing studios for the Teen Division, and “Whatcha

Say’s” score placed in the top 11 high scoring stu-dios for the Senior Divi-sion – and qualified for the competition’s Final Showdown, where it fin-ished in seventh place.

“Having our kids from Campbell River com-pete and dance against talented competition is what motivates, inspires, and challenges them to get better,” said CR DanceXtreme artistic directors and co-owners

Shawna Sloan and Buddy Mynatt, “Allow-ing them the opportu-nity to travel and per-form at what they love to do gives them the confidence, pride, and knowledge that all their hard work and commit-ment was worth it.”

CR DanceXtreme graduates Krystel Cis-nero, Sarah Davidson and Christine Do are now pursuing their goals of being professional

dancers. Before leav-ing Las Vegas, Cisnero was chosen by the West Coast Dance faculty to receive a tuition scholar-ship to take five dance classes in New York. She has since trained in Los Angeles for the summer and will continue her training in Campbell River and Vancouver while auditioning for professional shows on cruise ships.

Davidson also trained alongside Cisnero in Los Angeles this summer and will take her talents to New York City, where she has been accepted into Broadway Dance Center’s International Student Visa Program. Once there, she will work and train with the industry’s finest dance educators in all styles of dance.

Words have the abil-ity to shake, change and reshape your view of the world.

The delivery can be just as important as the con-tent. Spoken word poetry (or Slam Poetry) is a means of exploring the use of speech, rhythm and performance art to convey concepts as seri-ous as sexual exploitation to as light and humorous as an awkward first kiss.

The 2 Dope Boys have a particular grace when it comes to working the

balance between Kleenex worthy moments and

utter hilarity. At the end of August, Camp-bell River will have the opportunity to experi-ence a performance first hand.

The duo comprises of Johnny Macrae, the 2010

Vancouver Grand Slam champion and a two-time Canadian Individ-ual Poetry Slam finalist. MacRae boasts as hav-ing been crowned “one of the weirdest poets in Canada,” and named the 2013 Victoria Spo-ken Word Festival Poet of Honour. The other dope, shayne avec i grec, has almost a decade of experience captivating audiences. As a staple performer in many of the summer festivals, shayne avec i grec has shared the stage with the likes of Buffy St. Marie, C. R. Avery and Shayne Koyc-zan to name a few.

Shot in the Dark will serve as the venue for this rambunctious duo on Aug. 27 at 7 p.m. This is a free event co-hosted by the John Howard Society and Campbell River Arts Council.

Ask the Dentist

Answer: The Canadian Dental Association recommends the fi rst visit to a dentist before your child’s fi rst birthday. The general rule is six months after the eruption of the fi rst tooth. The reasoning is to catch any issues in their earliest stages. It also helps to educate parents on tooth decay, how to clean your child’s teeth, what to put into a sippy cup and how much toothpaste to apply to the toothbrush. The major tenet here is to start your child off with a lifetime of good oral care habits as well as to acclimate him/her to the dental offi ce which, ultimately, will reduce fear and anxiety.

Don’t be surprised or upset if your child is fussy or non-cooperative - this is a very common scenario and can be gradually addressed with short successive visits designed to instill trust and familiarity with both the dentist as well as staff and environment. Children tend to exhibit a greater sense of comfort when they are exposed to familiar environments and familiar people so dental visits which, at fi rst, appear to be rather traumatic can, over time, become increasingly comfortable for all involved.

If you have a question you would like answered please email [email protected]

Question: At what age should children fi rst see a dentist?

There was nothing con-servative about John Duncan’s catches

Paul RudanCampbell RiveR miRRoR

What’s harder, getting elected or becoming a member of the Tyee Club?

Better ask John Dun-can. After years of angling, the veteran North Island MP finally earned his Tyee pin, not once, but twice in a span of 12 hours.

“I got a shiner at the Friday night fights,” Duncan joked just after landing his second big chinook.

The party whip could barely contain a less-than-conservative grin after registering back-to-back salmon in Campbell River’s world-famous Tyee Pool.

They’re not his first “shiners,” but both were club qualifiers weighing in at 34 and 30 pounds respectively; you can only become a club mem-ber by catching a salmon more than 30 pounds, on a single barbless hook, using 20-pound test line or less, and from a row-boat.

“I’ve fished quite a few years in there...the best was only 27,” he said as he shook hands at the Howie Meeker Golf Classic.

That changed Friday night in what has been a very good year in the waters just off the Tyee Spit.

Rowed by realtor and former city councillor Roy Grant, Duncan was joined by his wife Donna Richardson when he hooked into a fairly big fish around 8:25 p.m. Half an hour later, the 34-pounder was in the boat.

“A good fight,” he said with a nod.

It was the last Tyee of the day and one of seven registered that day at the club.

Figuring to strike again while “the iron is hot” Grant, Duncan and Tim Daniels set out at first light Saturday.

It didn’t take long before Duncan’s rod tip bent over again. After a fairly easy 15-minute tug-o-war, the politician had

his second large chinook in the rowboat.

“Same rod, same side of the boat, same every-thing,” Duncan said

enthusiastically.It was also on the same

plug, a special lure made by the late Brian Isfeld, a friend to both Grant and Duncan.

“It’s caught 10 Tyees!” the MP boasted.

Grant wasn’t sure the second would qualify, but it just weighed in a titch over 30 pounds and Duncan was on the board with back-to-back Tyees in the club record book which dates back to 1924.

Fishing bites:

n Fishing is hot in the Tyee Pool. Seven chi-nook salmon were reg-istered last Friday at the Tyee Club and another three on Saturday, Dun-can’s included. Anglers, such as Duncan receive

“bronze buttons” for catches over 30 pounds, but under 40.n As of Monday, 24

Tyees have been regis-tered this season at the Tyee Club.n Mike Gage is the

leader with his historic 61.5-pounder caught on Aug. 11. It was the first Tyee over 60 pounds to

be caught in 30 years.n The last 60 pounder

was caught Aug. 13, 1983 by Tammy McConkey who was rowed to her catch by Ken Enns. On Friday, Enns was fishing in the Tyee Pool, rowed by Ken Marr, when he landed a 40.5 chinook, his first Tyee of the sea-son.

In recognition of its 10th anniversary, River Spirit dragon

boat team recently made a donation to the Campbell River Hospital Foundation.

The funds have been tagged to go toward the purchase of High Definition Digital Mam-mography Monitors for the medical imaging department.

“Recently, the Camp-bell River Hospital

successfully recruited a radiologist with screen-ing mammography experience to join the Campbell River Radi-ologist group,” said Stacey Marsh, executive director of the Campbell River Hospital Founda-tion. “With the addition of the monitors and the new radiologist, inter-pretations will now be done here in Campbell River.

“We believe that this is

an important new ser-vice and hope that it will help encourage women to have these screen-ing exams when they know that their exam is being interpreted here at home.”

River Spirit team members were on hand to present a cheque to the Campbell River Hospital Foundation and received a tour and explanation of how the monitors work from Doctor Corr.

“As well as celebrat-ing our first 10 years, we would also like to

recognize the founding members of the team and acknowledge the incredible support the community continues to give us,” said president, Val Larson.

The ladies also made a visit to the surgical floor to deliver sup-port pillows for breast surgery patients and squeeze balls to assist in their rehabilitation. The pillows and balls were made by the team at a recent work bee and will be provided to the hospital as needed on an ongoing basis.

When the project was proposed to

City Council last year, the Discovery Passage SeaLife Society (DPSS) projected 10,000 visitors per season.

President of the DPSS Mark Wunsch happily announced reach-ing that goal just two months since opening on Ocean’s Day, June 8.

“We are so pleased the Aquarium has cre-ated quite a buzz and attracted so many visi-tors to our downtown. In just two months, we have had as many visitors as we expected to come in a full four-month season,” Wunsch says. “The responses that we have received have been ultimately positive and encour-age us to keep building community around the aquarium. And for the remaining season we still have a few surprises to come. ”

The strong admis-sion numbers will help towards financial stabil-ity for the young non-profit society.

“As any public venue, we need to have funds on hand for running costs, maintenance and hiring core staff for the next season,” says Society Treasurer Iris Wunsch. “Income from admissions and our sponsorship programs will allow us to keep a balanced budget. If this support continues we will be able to keep subsidizing school visits and expand our pro-gramming.”

The recently-acquired charitable status of the aquarium should make it especially interesting for supporters as they are able to receive tax receipts for their dona-tions. The society rec-ognized its sponsors at a Sponsor Appreciation night in July.

“For me, the most amazing learning expe-rience of this project was

that this community has so many generous peo-ple willing to share their skills and assets to cre-ate a special place,” says Society director Sandra Milligan. “Businesses and residents provided all kinds of help to set-up the building including professional services, equipment, supplies, cash dona-tions, and hundreds of volunteer hours. That community commit-ment continued after Opening Day with vol-unteers of all ages work-ing with visitors at the Aquarium.”

“The visitors have been as varied as the critters at the Aquar-ium,” says Aquarium Manager Deb Cowper. “Out of town visitors, like the Harrington fam-ily, come from across Canada and the U.S. European visitors appear almost daily, and then we have our local fami-lies who have purchased season’s passes and visit sometimes multiple times per week.”

The end of September will mark the end of the season and all the crit-ters will be released back into the ocean. So make sure that you visit the

Aquarium if you haven’t done it yet.

Aquarium employee Kate Dixon describes some of the highlights of working in the Aquarium: “I just love the excitement of our visitors: the kids – and adults – are always enthralled with what they see and touch. For me, it is great to be learning so much and sharing that knowledge with everyone.”

Volunteer Pat Carpen-ter says, “I still cannot believe that all this lives right here, just under the surface, locally.

“Visitors come in and

say that too, all the time. The aquarium is a real asset to this community and I love volunteering and learning here.”

Highlights for the visitors over the season include the new dis-plays, but exciting things happen in our tanks on a daily basis. New animals like tiny fish, sea slugs, urchins, and sea stars come in with the ocean water. Special moments have included a moon snail secret-ing its distinctive egg collar as we watched; crabs wrestling pipefish; sea urchins ensnaring herring; and hermit

crabs fighting over new homes. There is always something happening, and our staff and vol-unteers are delighted to share.

Beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend, Louise passed from this life to the next on August 17, 2013. She was predeceased by her husband, Viggo of Lihme, Denmark and survived by

her daughters Anita (Richard) Dougherty of Prince George and Marianne Currie (Paul) of Campbell River as well as her dear grandchildren Christian, William, Alexa and Olivia. She was so proud to have seen them all graduate! She also leaves her beloved sisters Evelyn (Russ) Bowers of Cumberland and Phyllis Johnson (David) of Harare, Zimbabwe, her older brother John (Rose) of North Battleford, Saskatchewan, niece Judy Lanyon (Jody) of Courtney and special friend Charlotte Hayman, who was among those with Mom at the end. There are also many other loved and devoted nieces and nephews missing her, as well as her devoted silky white dog, Chobe. She began her career as a teacher in a one-room schoolhouse called Deer Run near Turtle Lake, Saskatchewan and retired from teaching as an elementary school principal at Pineridge Elementary in Kamloops, B.C. She also spent time working with Simon Fraser University and Cariboo College as a faculty advisor to teachers in training. Her work with the P.E.O Sisterhood was pivotal in her life (LIPEO) as was her work in the Campbell River soup kitchen and her relationship with her church family at St. Peters Anglican Church. Her dear friends are too numerous to mention. You know who you are. She cherished each of you. Her friendships extend from her early life in Saskatchewan, to Gunnar Mines, Saskatchewan where she met Viggo, to Kamloops and Campbell River. She made countless meaningful connections with people and was a teacher and helper to the end. An adventurer in spirit, connected to the land through her prairie origins, she always knew the backroads. Special thanks to Dr. Larry Ness. Mom adored you. Thank you also to the nurses and caregivers at the Campbell River hospital, with special thanks to Sharon who made two very difficult days better for us with her caring heart. We extend our sympathies to her dear friends and relations. Your loss will be deeply felt. Funeral services will be held at 2:00 on Friday, August 23 at St. Peters Anglican church. in lieu of flowers please make a donation to the PEO Sisterhood Chapter AZ of Campbell River who work to help women further themselves as our mom was able to do.

Kristen DouglasCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A proposed apartment building with a liquor store below was given the go ahead by council last week after the architect’s gamble paid off.

At the last council meeting July 23 Miles, s e e i n g c ou n c i l l or s Andy Adams and Claire Moglove were absent, asked council to delay voting on the project. Miles knew that Mayor Walter Jakeway and councillors Ron Kerr and Larry Samson had voted against the re-zoning of

the property a month prior to accommodate the development.

But with Adams and Moglove present at last Tuesday’s meeting, that gave council the numbers to approve the 20-unit, five-storey building for 1054 S. Island Highway. Jakeway, Kerr and Sam-son again voted opposed.

Jakeway was concerned about the steep slope that runs parallel to the Island Highway. The develop-ment is proposed to lie at the foot of the slope and cut marginally into the toe of the slope in one location.

“I will not be in favour of cutting into the hill-side anywhere on that slope,” Jakeway said. “My concerns is whatever you do to a slope it starts to move.”

But project architect Curtis Miles said a geo-technical survey was done on the property and he was given the go-ahead.

The geotechnical report concludes that the development can be safely located in the proposed location, with foundation-bearing con-ditions present. Miles noted that the project

also complies with the city’s Sustainable Official Community Plan’s slope hazard guidelines.

To help beautify the property, Miles said the plan is to develop the back of the lot into a grotto, with the building nestling into the hill.

There will be two entrances to the residen-tial portion of the build-ing – one to the front and one at the back.

Because of the size of the lot, there is not enough room for resi-dential parking on the same lot as the building.

While liquor store

parking will be located in front of the building, apartment parking will be on the neighbouring Big Rock Motel prop-erty, which is owned by the same developer.

Miles said the plan is to put in new fencing and landscaping on the motel site to separate the cars from the highway and make it look more like a residential parking lot.

“We really do believe this project makes good use of the natural topog-raphy,” Miles said. “It blends the residential and commercial units quite well.”

I’m OK and You Are Not OKWe were exposed to many ideas during training at the RCMP’s Depot Division in Regina. A lecture that I do recall was presented by a pyschologist who taught us about transactional analysis. One of the life positions we learned about, I’m OK and you are not OK, seems to be common on our highways.

A person with that outlook is saying that I feel good about myself but I see others as damaged or less than [myself] and it is usually not healthy. Perhaps this mindset is one of the reasons that drivers disobey the traf� c rules and fail to exercise courtesy to other road users. If we could move to the I’m OK, you are OK state not only would we be more healthy mentally, highway use would be a safer, more pleasant experience.

Communication between road users that leads to co-operation or sharing the road is an important skill that was not taught to me explicitly when I was � rst learning to drive. Today this concept takes up an entire chapter in ICBC’s Learn to Drive Smart manual and is a key point during in car driving lessons. When all parties communicate fully, we can arrive at an accommodation rather than a confrontation or con� ict.

Sometimes I � nd it dif� cult stay on track when I am presented with some particularly ill considered and sel� sh driving behaviour or I’m in a hurry. I � nd that it helps to remind myself that I am only lowering myself to their standard if I judge them to be not OK or start setting my own rules when it’s convenient. I’m not always successful but I try. I hope you will too. Pass it on.

Cart wheels rumble, the sun beats down and

occasionally metal plates or cups clank and rattle as they fall onto the ground.

Young members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints wipe sweat from their brows and fan their faces with wide-brimmed hats as a break is called.

The walkers – dressed in 19th Century clothing styles – crowd around water jugs seeking solace from the hot summer sun and the kilometres of road they have tra-versed.

For four days, two Campbell River youths and 70 other Vancou-ver Island teenagers re-enacted one of the epic pioneer journeys of North American history.

Youth members of the LDS Church aged 12-18 from six Vancouver Island wards (congrega-tions) walked for 39.2 kilometres along logging roads and trails near Port Alberni pulling all their camping gear in two-wheeled handcarts.

“If we don’t do things that are tough, we won’t know what tough is,” Trail Boss Harry Slobo-dan told the youths at an assembly after the first day of walking. Slobo-dan is a Nanaimo resi-dent and a leader in the LDS Church’s Nanaimo Stake presidency which includes the congrega-tions on Vancouver Island from Duncan to Port Hardy and Powell River.

The Pioneer Trek is held every four years to commemorate the Latter-day Saints’ exo-dus from Illinois across the American plains to the Salt Lake Valley in Utah to escape religious persecution and estab-lish a community in the wilderness in the 1850s and 60s. The original handcart pioneers were following the plan of then-church President Brigham Young who had decided to switch from travelling in wagon trains and have the LDS migrants walk across the plains with carts pulled by hand because it was quicker and less costly.

The church has since grown from its Utah

base to establish itself worldwide, including on Vancouver Island and the rest of British Columbia. The quadren-nial youth Pioneer Trek was started as a way to help the youth experi-ence the outdoors, fac-ing physical and mental challenges along the way, Slobodan said.

“We hope that they can gain confidence, make new friends, and learn to work together as a group,” he said.

The trek involves seven families of about 10 youths and two adult “Ma’s and Pa’s” (married couples who volunteer to take on the roles of the groups’ parents) who push and pull a handcart for 39.2 kilometres over four days along the back roads of the Alberni Val-ley. Along the way they cross creeks, climb hills, endure heat and dust and even cross a raised train bed that, coming on the last day of the trek, must have felt like climbing a mountain.

“We want you to learn how strong you are,” Nanaimo Stake Presi-dent Collin Van Horne told the youths. “We want you to understand what you’re capable of…and that’s anything!”

On the second night they arrive at a local farm where they stayed for two nights, spend-ing the next day par-ticipating in traditional competitions like sack races, stilt walking, caber tossing, hay bale stacking, two-handed sawing, and, of course, cart racing.

A special part of the in-camp day involved a Pony Express delivery on horseback of letters to the youths from their real families. They then spent some time reading the letters, writing in journals and reflecting quietly.

The evening was spent at a hoedown involving traditional 19th Century style dances and singing.

On the fourth day, the handcarts were packed up again and the families set off down the Log Train Trail for the last 12 km of the trek to the Mclean Saw Mill National Historic Site where, exhausted, they climbed aboard the

Alberni Pacific steam train for a well-deserved ride back into Port Alberni and their await-ing families.

The trek sends the message to the youths that they are able to accomplish great things if they set their minds to it. They also learn to work as a team and get along with others. The sacrifice the church’s pioneers made to estab-lish their religion is also brought home to the youths in a tangible way.

“We hope they gain an appreciation of the sac-rifice that the Mormon

pioneers made as they migrated to the Great Salt Lake Valley,” Slobo-dan said. “The Church as a whole cares deeply about the youth. We feel that an experience like Trek will strengthen and educate them in their cultural history. If the youth are strong and faithful, the church obviously benefits by having future leaders and dedicated members. The church also empha-sizes the need for people to be helpful, contribut-ing members of society and the Trek experience promotes that idea.”

Campbell River Hospital temporary traf� c pattern changes

Site work to prepare for the new $266 million, 95-bed Campbell River Hospital will lead to some traf� c disruption around the existing Campbell River Hospital entrance on 2nd Avenue in the days ahead.

The work is related to construction of a new temporary Ambulance Access Route to the existing hospital Emergency Department entrance.

The laneway between the two parking lots at the Campbell River Hospital entrance will be closed to traf� c from Monday August 26th to Wednesday August 28th to permit the installation of two manholes and piping, part of the perimeter drainage system for the new Ambulance Access Route.

The brief laneway closure will require motorists to turn around and exit through the same entrance they’ve entered. During this period motorists will also be encouraged to enter and exit the western parking lot through the regular parking lot exit. Traf� c control � ag persons will be on hand to assist.

The new temporary Ambulance Access Route is required because construction of the new hospital next year will block the present ambulance route to and from the present Emergency entrance. Please watch for additional temporary traf� c changes in the weeks to come.
