    Coun. Andy Adams called out Mayor Walter Jakeway at Tuesdays council meeting for a discrepancy in the mayors voting and accused Jakeway of speaking against coun-cils wishes.

    Jakeway was under fire from Adams for voting against using the Alternate Approval Process to bor-row $15 million for sewer and water projects when Jakeway had already voted in favour of the same process for an exchange of parkland with Seymour Pacific Developments.

    Adams pointed out that at the June 25 meeting, council unanimously voted in favour of using the Alter-nate Approval Process for the park-land exchange. The process allows council to avoid a public referendum and gain approval for borrowing provided that no more than 10 per cent of the electorate sign an opposi-tion form.

    The policy was officially approved by council on Aug. 13. However, at the same meeting Mayor Jakeway voted against using the Alternate Approval Process for a different item.

    Three items later, on that very same agenda, bylaws (for) an Alter-nate Approval Process for sewer, water and infrastructure were voted on and passed with your worship (with) Councillor (Larry) Samson and Councillor (Ron) Kerr opposed, Adams said. Subsequently to that August 13 meeting, both in the press and on social media...you stated that

    you felt the Alternate Approval Pro-cess was undemocratic. So my ques-tion is, how can you vote in favour of the Alternate Approval Process and then three items later vote against?

    Jakeway admitted his votes were conflicting, but maintained his dis-like of the policy.

    In that case I was inconsistent, but my belief is its not democratic, Jakeway replied. It doesnt allow the public a clear voice. I believe the process, whether its here, the Comox Valley Regional District or wherever, denies the public a chance to speak.

    Adams proceeded to ask Jake-way whether he feels the Commu-nity Charter, which regulates the Alternate Approval Process, is also undemocratic?

    Jakeway said he believes, that part of it is not wise legislation.

    Adams also took exception to the mayor publically speaking out

  • against councils decision to go with the Alternate Approval Process.

    The other part of the Community Charter, under the responsibili-ties of the mayor, where it says the mayor is to reflect the will of council, do you also believe thats undemocratic?

    Jakeway replied, no, he thought that was consis-tent.

    But again Adams ques-tioned why the mayor

    was not reflecting the will of council by speak-ing out against councils decision in the media.

    Jakeway fired back that he never said anything after the council meet-ing.

    I only spoke in coun-cil, Jakeway said. The media was quoting exactly what I said in council and in coun-cil Im allowed to say my opinion. I believe I posted the media report online and discussed it

    online. I can talk in social media all I want.

    W h i c h p r o mp t e d Adams to question Jake-way again, And is that expressing the will of council?

    Jakeway got the last word in: No, thats expressing my opinion.

    While its been awhile since Jakeway has been called out by council its not the first time a coun-cillor has questioned the mayors loyalty.

    Last year Coun. Claire

    Moglove told the Mir-ror she was disappointed in Jakeway for urg-ing the public to fight back against a tax revolt after council approved a 13 per cent residential tax increase, that was approved by council, much to Jakeways dis-may.

    The will of council was reflected in (the) vote on the budget. Once coun-cil has made a decision, it is the mayors duty and responsibility to speak in

    support of that majority decision, Moglove said at the time. That is one of the hallmarks of being mayor. The mayor is the spokesperson for coun-cil and as such, the com-ments attributed to him are very disappointing.

    Campbell River seniors finally have a home.

    It may be temporary but its a home nonethe-less for the nearly 600 seniors left with no fixed address since having to vacate the Campbell River Common Mall.

    Council on Tuesday voted to allow the seniors centre society use of both the Sportsplex and the Community Centre, rent-free, weekdays dur-ing the day.

    Council approved the

    move from September up until the end of this year.

    The four month period equates to $19,000 in value but Ross Miln-thorp, the citys parks, recreation and culture manager, said its unlikely the city would have seen all of that money even if the seniors werent there.

    Its very difficult to predict with any cer-tainty if any percentage of those times would be rented to other custom-ers between now and Dec. 31, Milnthorp told council. Because we are already nearing Septem-

    ber, I would say there is not a strong likelihood that a significant per-centage of those times would be rented.

    Coun. Claire Moglove wanted to keep the rent-free period at three months af ter hear-ing from city staff that one year would see the city potentially forfeit $76,000 reducing the citys surplus.

    M o g l o v e r e c o m -mended the Seniors Society apply for a grant-in-aid for 2014.

    It would be my hope that the seniors

    would continue at the Sportsplex and or the Community Centre in 2014, she said.

    Moglove also addressed the issue of setting a precedent by giving one community group rent-free access while other seniors groups, including the 50+ Living program have 25 per cent of their costs covered by taxpay-ers.

    But Moglove said she believes this is a different situation.

    I think there is a cau-tion in our report that this might set a prec-

    edent, however, because the Senior Society is working with the city to merge the two programs (city seniors programs) and were looking for-ward to a partnership; I think that puts this is in a different category, Moglove said.

    And I think the seniors have worked diligently and I do applaud their efforts.

    The Seniors Centre Society operated rent-free out of Campbell River Common Mall from July 1, 2010 up until May of this year.

    Additional traf c pattern change at Campbell River Hospital

    main entranceSite 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 regular exit from the 2nd Avenue main entrance parking lots will be closed to traf c from Tuesday, September 3rd to Saturday, September 7th.

    During this period, motorists will be required to enter and exit the parking lots from the regular entrance. Traf c control ag persons will be on hand to assist.

    This work may lead to brief delays entering and exiting the main entrance parking lot. Please take this into account and allow additional time for your hospital visit.

    We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and we thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding.

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

    Back to School 2013Back to school! Time to learn about waiting your turn, lining up nicely, being courteous to others and following the rules. No, Im not talking about students, Im talking about the adults because many of the traf c problems found in school zones are caused by parents driving their children to school. Even the occasional teacher might bend the rules if they are late for work.

    We all know that school zones are in effect on regular school days. Until recently, these days were determined at the provincial level and were uniform across BC. Today the school calendar is determined by each school district, so there could actually be a difference from one district to another. For safetys sake, its probably best to slow to the posted 30 km/h limit throughout the school year unless it is a statutory holiday.

    Lets change the viewpoint from go to stop now. Parking around schools may create its own hazards by limiting visibility and proper movement. You probably dont need me to remind you that children act on the spur of the moment without thinking their actions through. This makes them a signi cant hazard as they pop up in unexpected and inappropriate places. You increase the problem when you park or drive in places that you are not supposed to. Confusion is a bad thing in traf c.

    Ive investigated child pedestrian deaths and I can assure you that it is not something you want to be involved in, even remotely. Take a few seconds extra around school zones. It wont cost you much more out of your day, in fact, the savings could be substantial.

    Food for a causeTyee Chev employee Gillian Tremblay serves up a salmon burger to Edmonton visitor Ralph Jonker while cooks Joe John-son and Blaine Tremblay look on. The barbecue at Tyee Chev was held to help Nick King raise funds for the Variety The Childrens Charitys Coin Drive. King was the recipient of a modified bicycle to help his mobility and he and his family wanted to give back to Variety in some way. They raised more than $1,000.

    The 17th Avenue sani-station will be perma-nently shut down this fall.

    Council voted to close the facility after com-plaints from several Campbellton residents about the foul odours emanating from the sani-station.

    Coun. Ron Kerr said while he sees the benefit in the service, its at the expense of residents.

    I have used it, its con-venient. But there are other options, Kerr said. I think weve heard from

    the community and they want it shut down.

    Mayor Walter Jakeway agreed the sani-station is not in a suitable location.

    I can see why the neighbours would like it shut down but I think it needs to be replaced, Jakeway said. Id like to see it at the airport.

    Im in favour of shut-ting it down but I think we seriously need to look at putting one at the air-port or some other loca-tion.

    The residential loca-tion of the sani-station has been a sore point for resident Christine OConnor for years.

    She wrote five letters over the last six years to council asking for some help.

    OConnor said the smell coming from the station was so bad that some days she couldnt go outside.

    I still cant have a barbecue on my porch without the putrid smell of fecal matter rolling through the hot summer air, OConnor wrote in a letter to council. Every Sunday during the sum-mer the traffic is backed up down the street and a constant rolling of RVs and buses continuously dump their refuse right

    in front of my home.T he C ampb el l ton

    Neighbourhood Asso-ciation wrote a letter to council, which was on Tuesday nights agenda, supporting OConnor. A petition with 100 signa-tures was also presented to council.

    City staf f recom-mended council decom-mission the station.

    To try and keep this going in a residential area, Im not sure were going to be able to con-tain the smell, said City Manager Andy Laidlaw, adding that it leads staff to the view that it is time to shut this system

    down.Jennifer Peters, the

    citys utilities manager, said there have been problems with sewage spills from RV users dumping their waste, blockages, and a lack of available water.

    Peters said theres also been evidence of com-mercial and non-RV use and prohibited waste being discharged at the station. She said thats

    likely due to the fact the station is unsupervised.

    To improve service, including adding super-vision, would cost the city $10,000 per year.

    To make improvements would cost $30,000 and to relocate the sani-dump would cost $50,000. The cost to shut down the facility will be $3,000 the same amount it costs the city in annual main-tenance.

    W h i l e c o u n c i l approved the shut down, Coun. Mary Storry was not on board and was the lone vote opposed.

    Im almost feeling like I have a conflict of inter-est on this one because we use the sani-station so often and its well-used by the commu-nity, Storry said. I just hate to cut a service that has been enjoyed by the community for so long.

    The Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development is considering banning anonymous

    contributions in municipal elections.The B.C. government is considering

    reforms to legislation that governs our every-third-year local elections. Details are expected in a white paper next month.

    With local politics in some B.C. cities starting to emulate Vancouvers party

    system and third-party campaigning, the time has come for voters to know who the would-be kingmakers are.

    Minister Coralee Oakes indicates that new legislation will require third-party advertisers to register and disclose their identity.

    Time allowed for consultation will delay campaign spending limits for candidates, organizations and third-party advertisers until the 2017 civic elections, but those changes are expected, too.

    Oakes, who said she expects improved transparency and accountability, calls the reforms the greatest modernization of local government election legislation in nearly 20 years.

    Changes would affect voting for municipal councils,

    school boards, regional districts and Islands Trust.Although the response from the NDP local government

    Opposition critic is typically critical, the president of the Union of B.C. Municipalities is pleased by the proposals.

    Thats no surprise considering the UBCM has been recommending local election reform.

    Vancouver-style civic politics saw the NPA, Vision, COPE and the Green Party collectively spent $5.2 million in the 2011 elections.

    Vancouvers major municipal parties spent more than $15 for each vote they got.

    Green leader supports the cops and Lindseys Law

    We say: Need to know who the would-be kingmakers are

    Last Sunday I helped out a friend whos fundraising for the upcoming Cops For Cancer Tour de Rock ride.

    There we were, last Sunday in Sidney, during the towns show n shine on the main drag, when I was surprised by another volunteer hawking tickets with us under the shade of the RCMP tent.

    She wore no emerald-coloured hemp T-shirt, didnt hand out party pamphlets or buttons, and there wasnt a CSIS secu-rity detail in sight, yet here was a federal party leader: Elizabeth May, the first member of Canadas Green Party to be elected to Parliament for Saanich-Gulf Islands.

    Shes also a Sidney resident and was just out doing her part to support a great cause and to be seen. Nice lady, smart, funny too.

    We chatted during lulls in the sales, but rather than environmental issues, the former lawyer chose to talk about a law and order issue that starts with a 20-year-old missing persons case.

    On the August long weekend in 1993, 14-year-old Lindsey Nicholls went for a walk along a road in Cumberland and was never seen again.

    Her mother, Judy Peterson of Sidney, continues to look for answers as an online public petition asking Parliament to adopt what is affectionately called Lindseys Law.

    In short, Lindseys Law, would allow investigators to compare DNA evidence of missing persons with the DNA col-lected from crime scenes and unidenti-fied human remains.

    The hope is this law would result in

    finding solutions to old mysteries and crimes, and perhaps even convict a mur-derer. Seems a like a sensible thing to do and even practical with todays technol-ogy, but its still not on the governments agenda.

    According to May, former Public Safety Minister Vic Toews said the proposed legislation would be too expensive.

    Really, how expensive can it be?Its not like it will take a billion dollars,

    like the gun registry, to create some-thing new. We have the DNA of missing people and we have DNA from umpteen crime sites and thousands of criminals.

    If the government needs cash to fund the program, it should take a look at how it currently collects DNA from convicted criminals.

    As the saying goes, five per cent of the

    people commit 95 per cent of the crime, so these folks come and go from the courts as if stuck in a revolving door.

    And as each case goes, prosecutors ask over and over again for DNA samples.

    In short, one thief with a long record could very well provide a dozen DNA samples to the national police registry.

    Just a little redundant and who knows what happens with all this repeat data? It sounds like a lot of wasted money tax dollars that could be better spent on another investigative tool that would help solve cold cases.

    And its a law that could help provide closure and comfort to the families of the more than 7,000 missing Canadians. Some of whom, I imagine, are voters.

    OK. Now Im really confused.The city has denied Telus the opportunity to place a cell

    phone tower in Willow Point park. I have been told by the mayor and at least two councillors that their decision was based solely on the 120-name petition against the proposal based on the perceived problems of RF emissions.

    Apparently not one person spoke up favouring the pro-posal, yet I know phone usage continues to be a major prob-lem in central Campbell River.

    The other reason was the objection by another councillor over the prospect of commercializing city property, in this case a park.

    I see now that they think its a great idea to allow Shaw to place 92 different Wi-Fi access points throughout the city using city infrastructure and accepted a $18,400 fee for allowing it. Apparently, theyve also done a study and deter-mined that RF levels from these 92 terminals are well below Canadian and International safety limits. (From a Health Canada report)

    Heres a quote from Health Canada regarding emissions from cell phone towers:

    RF energy (sometimes called RF emissions, RF waves, or

  • How much is too much? I am asking this question in regards to the proposed placement of 92 or more Wi-Fi access points in Campbell River to accommodate Shaws Go Wi-Fi Service.

    We dont know at this point what level of microwave radiation is safe. With this uncer-tainty, why are we rush-ing ahead to spread microwave radiating technology throughout

    our city and parks. Why do we consider allowing this at a time when com-munities and countries in Europe ban Wi-Fi in schools, libraries, and public places.

    And closer to home, Nanaimo turned down Shaws Go Wi-Fi Ser-vice in its June 17 coun-cil ceeting. I want to encourage you to watch the delegation presenta-tion on the webcam at 6:17 p.m. on the agenda

    of that meeting.Microwave radiation

    has been shown to have adverse biological effects at levels well below Health Canadas inad-equate Safety Code 6. Switzerlands safety limit for exposure to micro-wave radiation is 100 times less that of Canada, so is that of China and Italy. There are many other places with even lower limits. When all those governments are

    concerned, why are we not?

    One Wi-Fi device might seem insignificant. Lets add up the exposure at the end of the day after hours in schools, univer-sities, libraries, munici-pal buildings, hospitals, doctors offices and in places of employment. After the additional Wi-Fi pollution, add to that a walk along the water or a picnic in a park. Please dont forget,

    that many people did not consent to this unprec-edented experiment on humanity and environ-ment which increases the wireless industrys revenue and ability to collect data about our every move.

    Since we dont know how long it will take to turn biological effects into illnesses, our local government must pro-vide safe places for those in the community who

    want to exercise caution. There must be areas free of Wi-Fi for all those with medical conditions that require avoidance of this radiation.

    The Canadian Food Insp e c t i on Age nc y requires food labelling such that we know what it is we consume, that we can make our own choices and avoid aller-gic reactions. Where are the signs Warning - Wi-Fi Zone?

    Wi-Fi in a persons home is a choice and it can be turned off when not in use. Wi-Fi in pub-lic places does not give anyone a choice.

    To allow the spread of 92 or more hot spots without consent into the space we live in and pay taxes for - Mayor Jake-way and Councillors, with all due respect - that is too much.

    Ron & Nan LatchfordCampbell River

    RF fields) is a part of the electromagnetic spec-trum, which includes microwave radiation, visible light and X-rays.

    Health concerns are sometimes expressed by people who live or work near cell phone tower antennas located on tow-ers, poles, water tanks or rooftops.

    Yet, the consensus of the scientific commu-nity is that RF energy from cell phone towers is too low to cause adverse health effects in humans. In fact, RF exposures from cell phone towers

    are typically well below Health Canadas expo-sure standards.

    To summarize: Appar-ently its now OK to use city infrastructure and accept a fee from Shaw to provide this service, and all of a sudden RF emis-sions are not a problem.

    Lets carry this a little farther.

    The large tower on Dogwood at Merecroft is owned by the North Island 911 Corporation. Its on city property and was placed to allow the city to contract fire dis-patch to the 911 Corp for the North Island, from

    our Campbell River fire department. No problem here as its a very neces-sary service.

    However, it seems that other services are on that tower including at least two transmitters (differ-ent frequencies) for Rog-ers to provide cell phone service.

    Im sure they are pay-ing either the city or 911 Corp. a fee for allow-

    ing them to be there. So now the city is accept-ing remuneration from Shaw and Rogers, either directly or indirectly, so those companies can provide Wi-Fi and cel-lular services from city support structures. Telus was denied.

    Seems a little hypo-critical.

    This tower is within 500 meters of the Chris-

    tian School, two hockey rinks and a public swim-ming pool, Pinecrest Elementary and park, the Christian Life Childrens Centre, Robron field and a major shopping centre.

    Oh, lets not forget the forestry staff, the city workers and the RCMP staff. Where was the public consultation pro-cess when all this was allowed?

    So please folks, if you are tired of dropped calls, missed calls, one way transmissions and want cell service south of Merecroft improved please let the city know

    and ask them to reverse their objection to the Telus proposal or email me at [email protected] .

    SUCCESS MATTERS!!!

    I was very nervous going back to school and wondered if I had what it took to be successful. My amazing instructor saw my strengths and pushed me to achieve beyond my expectations. They sharpened my soft skills while giving me the hard skills I needed to succeed as a Community Support Worker. Discovery Community College has been my catalyst for success!

    Lisa H., Community Support Worker

    I had gone to another school previously. What a difference! My education at Discovery was superlative. I had top notch instructors who were committed to my success. At every corner I was empowered to succeed. As a graduate of the Licensed Practical Nursing program I have the con dence and skills needed to be an outstanding nurse. Thats a good thing, because, I was hired shortly after graduation in my dream job, working as a oor nurse.

    James M., Licensed Practical Nurse

    Discovery Community College changed my life! After 11 years in a dead end job I knew I needed a change. I had always enjoyed working with the elderly, so the Health Care Assistant program was a perfect t. At rst I was nervous because I was the oldest person in my class. That did not last long! The program is amazing! Everyone, from my instructors to the Campus Manager, cared about my success, even after I graduated. I was eased into the learning and, before I knew it, I was doing things I had only dreamed of. Discovery gave me the con dence and the skills to succeed. And I have the new job to prove it!

    It looks like a big comfy bedif youre a salmon.

    For those on two feet hiking the Canyon View Trail, the new spawning bed is easy to spot on the south side of the Camp-bell River, just down from the John Hart Gen-erating Station.

    The deeper parts of the river are dark, but the spawning gravel is a distinct light brown that appears ideal for those big Tyees nestling in to lay their eggs.

    We know theyre as big as 61 pounds! says

    Martin Buchanan, chair-man of the Campbell River Salmon Founda-tion as conducts a tour for local politicians.

    Buchanan is referring to his buddy, and past foundation chairman, Mike Gage, who caught a 61.5-pound chinook in the famous Tyee Pool (located near the mouth of the river) earlier this month. The chinook are starting to return in greater numbers to the Campbell theres tons of pinks running now too and part of the rea-son is the work done by the foundation to build more spawning beds.

    With the dam, theres no recruitment of gravel, Buchanan explains.

    Just recently, the foun-dation completed its recent spawning bed at an estimated cost of $170,000-$180,000. Its a hefty cost for 42,000 tonnes of gravel, equip-ment and labour, and the project was supported by a grant from Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

    North Island MP John Duncan along with municipal politicians was on hand for the tour and also to present the $20,500 cheque which comes from a $1.9 mil-lion fund to support rec-

    reational fishing projects throughout B.C.

    We set up this com-munity partnership across the country which is designed to restore, re-establish and enhance fisheries habitat for rec-reational angling, he said. Its not an expen-sive program for us and it gets a big bang for its buck. And its great to work with local conser-vation groups.

    Duncan also noted the Campbell River Salmon Foundation was the only group in the riding to apply for and receive money in the first round of funding. He said the

    second intake for appli-cations is approaching and urged other conser-vation groups, along with the foundation, to apply before the next deadline.

    Buchanan assured the MP they would be applying for funding and are considering a project on the upper Quinsam River. Theres a falls just below Quinsam River that is tough to get over for migrating coho salmon and steelhead heading to spawning grounds. Building steps into a portion of the falls would give these two species a better chance to reach spawning grounds.

    PROCESS

    A Campbell River man boarding a bus in Kamloops bound for Van-couver was arrested on Saturday, Aug. 24, with police seizing a large amount of drugs from his luggage - three kilograms (6.6 pounds) of cocaine and two kilograms (4.4 pounds) of heroin with a street value of about a half-million dol-lars.

    Cpl. Dan Moskaluk of the RCMPs Southeast District Traffic

    Services said the arrest was a result of Mounties acting on a tip.

    The 45-year-old Vancouver Island man faces charges. His name has not yet been released.

    The largest cocaine bust in Edmontons history took place on Aug. 1.

    Police in the Alberta capital seized 28 kilograms of cocaine they estimated to have a street value of $2.5 million, which works

    out to $89,000 a kilogram.Based on that calculation, the

    three kilograms of cocaine seized at the Kamloops bus depot on the weekend has a street value of about $267,000.

    Recent data from Canadian police forces pegs the street value of heroin at about $100,000 a kilo-gram, which would mean the her-oin seized in Kamloops has a value of about $200,000.

    Campbell River man nailed in half-million-dollar drug bust at Kamloops bus depot Double-up the knots on those

    hiking shoes and maybe even take a rain jacket for this evenings opening the citys newest trail.

    The Station View Trail is open to the public at 5 p.m. today. Its an extension of the much-used Canyon View Trail that skirts the scenic Campbell River.

    The Station View is also a five-year detour route that will take hikers around construction of the $940-million BC Hydro project to replace the John Hart Generat-

    ing Station. The trail features short walks through forest and meadow, and then a steep climb up to a bluff that will allow great birds-eye view of the construction in progress.

    You can access the new trail at Highway 28 turnoff for the John Hart Generating Station just west of the Elk Falls Provincial Park entrance.

    BC Hydro provided funding for the new trail and will decommission it once construction is complete in 2018.
