BRIAN KIERANCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

With just hours to go before the scheduled closure of the $8.6 mil-lion sale of the Catalyst Paper Elk Falls site, a cone of silence smothers efforts to confirm the status of the deal.

Calls Monday and Tuesday to Catalyst Vice President of Mar-keting and Corporate Responsibil-ity Lyn Brown went unanswered. Calls to the purchaser, Edmonton developer Harold Jahn, owner of Pacifica Deep Sea Terminals Inc., also reached a dead end with his automated answering service declaring that there was “no more room” for voice mail.

At Campbell River city hall there was also no information to be had. City Manager Andy Laid-law said both he and Rivercorp CEO Vic Goodman “have our ears to the ground, but haven’t heard anything.”

The sale was announced Aug. 16 and was first scheduled to complete by Sept. 5, however, the date came and went with Catalyst scrambling to clear the property of valuable leftovers. At that time, Brown told the Mirror the closing date for the sale had been extended to Sept. 19.

“The Sept. 5 date was very

aggressive, more optimistic thantime allowed to complete sitepreparation work,” Brown said.“This should in no way suggestthe sale process won’t be com-pleted,” she added.

In August, Catalyst CEO KevinJ. Clarke described Jahn as “anexperienced developer with thecapacity and an industrial con-cept that will fully utilize thesite’s infrastructure and bringnew business and jobs to theregion.”

Jahn said: “The site is strategi-cally located to serve a varietyof marine, light manufacturing,clean energy and distributionuses and we intend to transformit into a dynamic industrial parkand port facility with the goal ofcreating 400 full time jobs in theCampbell River region over thenext three years.”

The former pulp and paperplant was closed permanently in2010.

Since then, equipment has beendecommissioned and demolitionwork has proceeded to preparethe site for sale.

The Elk Falls mill began opera-tion in 1952, and at its peak, pro-duced 784,000 tonnes of pulp,paper and kraft paper annually.

KRISTEN DOUGLASCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A well-known Camp-bell River killer gets life in prison with no chance of parole for 23 years for the second-degree murders of two men.

Darcy Kozak was sentenced by Justice

James Williams in Victoria B.C. Supreme Court on Friday for killing Kenneth Rob-inson, a 45-year-old homeless man from Nanaimo and Kenneth Allan Leask, 44, from Powell River.

Kozak was also handed an 11-year concurrent sentence

for the murder of Campbell River’s Luc Dulude whom Kozak met while in jail.

Kozak, 40, had already plead guilty Aug. 30 to two counts of second degree murder and one count of manslaughter in Dulude’s death.

He was originally

facing three counts of first degree murder. A three-month long trial in B.C. Supreme Court was avoided with Kozak’s guilty pleas.

During sentencing, the court heard how Kozak tortured his victims before killing them. Kozak confined, stabbed, burned and

beat Robinson in a trailer near Shawni-gan Lake in May 2007. Robinson was then left to die under a tarp, as revenge for alleg-edly stealing Kozak’s truck.

One year later, Kozak, who was angered by Leask spending $5,000 he was given to start a mari-juana grow-op, hung Leask upside down and beat him over a period of several days before smothering him with a plastic bag. His body was dumped in the ocean off of Campbell River.

Dulude’s body was found in December 2008 in an abandoned commercial building

– a former bakery – in Willow Point.

Dulude was a career criminal who moved to Campbell River from Kamloops in August 2008 after being released from prison following his sixth robbery convic-tion.

In the fall of 2008, Dulude was shot in the abdomen by a friend of Kozak’s in a garage in Campbell River.

He was wrapped in plastic still alive and his body was put into the back of a pickup truck.

His body was found in December 2008 in the abandoned build-ing which was owned

by a company of Jan-ice Bridges – Kozak’s wealthy girlfriend.

One week after Dulude’s body was found, Kozak was dis-covered in a Campbell River motel room in possession of a loaded handgun.

He was arrested, charged with weapons offences and later served 30 days in jail after coming up with a plea agreement.

In June 2007, Kozak led police on a wild chase near Victoria which resulted in eight accidents.

Kozak pleaded guilty to several charges stemming from that incident and received one year in jail, but was given credit for pre-trial custody of seven-and-a-half months.

In Friday’s sentenc-ing, Justice Williams set parole at 23 years because he took into account Kozak’s guilty pleas which allowed the families to avoid testifying during a court case.

Your home is perhaps your most important investment. It costs money to maintain it, and needs energy to run it. By choosing the right energy for the right use, you can maximize energy efficiency and value for your energy dollars.

Natural gas is a good choice for heating, whether it’s hot water for a shower or warmth from the furnace or fireplace. It’s also great for barbecuing burgers on the patio. And, with the variety of stylish natural gas appliances and rebates available, upgrading your appliances to natural gas is more affordable. Find energy efficiency rebates that meet your needs at fortisbc.com/offers.

Natural gas makes your summers seem endless A natural gas barbecue never runs out of fuel. If you have a natural gas patio heater or fire pit, you can stay outside long after summer‘s over. And when that blustery storm hits, you can stay warm and well fed with a natural gas fireplace and range. Both will continue working during a power outage.

The Campbell River airport has lost out on more than two months of extra rev-enue because of a snag with new pay parking meters.

Coun. Andy Adams brought the issue to everyone’s attention at a city council meeting Sept. 11.

“I was at the airport this past weekend and they’re (meters) still not functioning,” Adams said.

“I’m wondering if we

need to provide some assistance to the Air-port Authority to get that going considering that is potential lost revenue.”

Paid parking was approved by council in May as a way to gener-ate revenue.

The parking meters were expected to go into effect on July 9 but there were problems.

“Due to several soft-ware malfunctions during the start-up phase, a decision was made to replace the entire machine,” said Tyler Massee, airport

manager, on Monday.“Working with the

vendor and airport staff we have resolved the outstanding pro-gramming issues.”

Massee said the lone meter, located in the parking lot across from the main doors of the airport, was put back into service Monday morning.

Adams had been concerned the airport authority was missing out during the two-month period.

“It’s been a long time coming,” he said.

“I think every day

they’re missing oppor-tunities.”

Daily parking (up to 12 hours) at the airport is $5 while to park for up to 24 hours costs $8.

Weekly parking is $40 while monthly parking costs $100 and yearly parking is $600.

The first hour, for vehicles dropping off or picking up passen-gers, is free.

Drew Hadfield, the city’s transportation manager, said the prices are in line with other airports.

“The changes reflect discussions of the Air-

port Authority (which manages the airport) to promote the use of the facility, provide competitive rates with other airports within the region and ulti-

mately generate addi-tional revenue for the facility,” he said.

The new parking meter runs on solar power and accepts credit cards or coins.

The Airport Author-ity welcomes public input on the park-ing meter program through its Campbell River Airport Face-book page.

Debt is the stealth bomb that erodes nancial stability and even relationships. Debt piles up a little bit at a time and one day you wake up to nd that most of your money is going to servicing debt instead of funding an enjoyable life today and a comfortable retirement tomorrow. To get control of your debt, you need to uncover the real reasons for your debt issues by identifying the behaviour that sunk you deep in debt and take the steps that will keep you from sinking even deeper. The rst two steps to debt-elimination are these: stop helplessly watching your debt mount and get proactive; stop spending too much. Here are more basic debt-elimination strategies:• Complete a detailed nancial review Agree on nancial life goals that both of you share, understand. Get serious about reducing your debt load by targeting bad debt like high interest credit or retail cards and setting up a debt consolidation/monthly debt reduction

plan. • Look long-term Establish a realistic nancial strategy for realizing the things that matter to you: saving for your kids’ education and your retirement; paying down your mortgage; and other important life goals.• Apply your Financial plan Your strategies could include:- Establishing an emergency reserve using investments held within a Tax-Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs).- Protecting your family with life, critical illness and disability insurance.- Funding your children’s education with Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) eligible investments.- Funding your retirement (and/or your

partner’s retirement) with Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) eligible investments. These are general debt-reduction and money-saving strategies but your situation is unique to you and there will be others that can help relieve your debt burden and enhance your nancial security. So here’s one more strategy that will work for you: talk to your professional advisor who has the expertise and perspective to develop the perfect plan for you.

Tour to support orca research

Stubbs Island Whale Watching is pleased to announce a special fundraising event in support of the OrcaLab of Hansen Island in Blackfish Sound.

On Friday, Stubbs Island Charters will be hosting a special tour at 1 p.m. with all proceeds raised going to OrcaLab’s continuing research.

“The tour will focus on the Northern resident orcas (pictured, right) and their vocalizations,” says Roger McDonell, partner of Stubbs Island Charters. “OrcaLab’s hydrophone monitoring system

is a big part of studying the orcas and their movements in the region.”

In the 1980s, Paul Spong and Helena Symonds, founders of Orcalab, developed a remote hydrophone network which enabled orcas to be tracked throughout approximately 50 square kilometres of what has become known as the “core habitat” of the Northern Resident community. Orcalab monitors these

hydrophones twenty-four hours a day, year round.

To reserve a seat on this fundraiser, call 1-800-665-3066 or visit www.stubbs-island.com.


A plan that will see Campbell River’s landfill shutdown and the Comox Valley’s dump expanded was approved by the Comox Strathcona Waste Man-agement Board last Thursday.

The new Solid Waste Management Plan, which will gover n waste management for the next 10 years, will be forwarded to local governments and First Nations for support before it’s sent to the Ministry of Environ-ment for final approval by Nov. 30.

Under the plan, the Comox Strathcona area will be served by one landfill – in Cum-berland.

That option was one of three shortlisted but proved to be the cheap-est choice at just more

than $175 million over 30 years. The cost to taxpayers is expected to be $41 per year. Expanding just the Campbell River dump would cost almost $190 million over the same period while expand-ing both facilities would be more than $185 million.

Campbell River’s landfill will go through the closure process within the next five years, but it will still function as a transfer station once it’s closed, meaning people can still drop their garbage off at the dump.

That waste will then be trucked to the Cum-berland landfill as per the current proce-dure. Tom Boatman, the Comox Strathcona solid waste manager, said a few 20-tonne truckloads of waste as well as two trucks a month carrying yard

waste have been sent to Cumberland since the transfer station opened in Campbell River this spring.

Boatman said the clo-sure process will begin in Campbell River next year.

“For Campbell River we plan on partially closing the landfill in 2013,” Boatman said. “We’ll be installing a gas extraction in 2013, improving the storm water management system, and improving our leachate plan.”

The entire envelope of the waste will be capped off and the site closed off, but Boatman stressed that doesn’t mean the end for the Campbell River dump.

Under the new waste management plan, there is some flexibil-ity.

The plan allows the solid waste board to assess the area adja-

cent to the current landfill for future expansion.

Boatman said a new cell will be built into the Cumberland dump, which is expected to reach capacity in roughly four years, to accommodate the extra waste.

A second cell could possibly be built in Campbell River.

“It gives us options, it gives us flexibility,” Boatman said. “The board could say ‘we authorize you to do a study on Campbell River.’”

For now, the board will focus on expand-ing in Cumberland. A budget has been set aside for design work to begin in 2013, a pro-cess which could take up to two years. Con-struction would then follow and could take another two years.

The entire solid waste

plan has been a lengthy process. It’s been three years since a consul-tant was hired to help create the plan, which still requires approval from the province to be enacted.

While the plan has been focused on land-fill location, its goal is to reduce waste and increase diversion rates from the cur-rent 51 per cent to 70 per cent, by diverting waste from the landfill through recycling and composting.

The plan suggests a new curbside food waste composting program, increased recycling services for multi-family com-plexes and possibly introducing waste-to-energy technologies, although there are no definite plans yet.

Protec ng Our Drinking Protec ng Our Drinking Water SourceWater Source

A watershed is:a) A shed that holds waterb) An area of land where water, dissolved and suspended materials ow towards the nearest stream, river, lake or oceanc) A concept that’s hard to describe without sweeping hand gestures

Most of you will have correctly picked b), althoughsome may think c) comes a close second! Our home may lie in the watershed of a smaller, urban stream, but our drinking water comes from “the big one” – the second largest watershed on Vancouver Island, the Campbell River Watershed. This watershed consists of Crown land, highways, BC Parks, tenured leases, BC Hydro property, industrial and residen al areas. Uses include mining, logging, energy genera on, residen al proper es, recrea onal pursuits and also the drinking water source for the City of Campbell River. Only one percent of the watershed lies within the City of Campbell River jurisdic on. How does a city go about protec ng a drinking water source that encompasses such a large area, with many di erent uses and government jurisdic ons? Fortunately, there is well-de ned framework in BC for water system opera on, water quality monitoring and water system source protec on. This framework evolved from many previous studies. Source water protec on using a mul -barrier approach was added to the framework a er at least two serious disease outbreaks in 2000 (Walkerton, Ont) and 2001 (North Ba leford, SK). Mul -barrier protec on includes monitoring, tes ng, stakeholder collabora on, access and educa on. In 2001, the City of Campbell River developed a Watershed Management Plan, a document that evaluated risks to drinking water of all ac vi es and natural processes in the watershed and made recommenda ons to reduce the risks. Successes included:• Comprehensive water quality sampling and tes ng • Emergency response plan• Technical Watershed Commi ee • Restricted motorized boat access to John Hart Lake• Reduc on in swimming and camping around John Hart Lake• Designa on of the John Hart Lake as a “Community Watershed” under the Forest Prac ces Code • Public outreach program and signs• Community events promo ng stewardship: watershed clean-up (2006 – 2011) and Waterfest (2010 – 2011). A er eleven years, and changes in legisla on, the City’s water department is upda ng its drinking water source protec on plan.

A second-year jour-nalism student at Van-couver Island Univer-sity, stabbed to death in Calgary, will be remem-bered in a celebration of his life at the Willow Point Hall Oct. 13.

Joshua Hogarth, 18, a graduate of Timber-line Secondary, lived in Campbell River from

2009 to 2011. He bled to death on his mother’s doorstep in Calgary Aug. 21.

Police allege he was beaten and stabbed by his friend Byron Blanchard, 20, who has been charged with second-degree murder.

“It is just so very tragic,” said Torie Hog-

arth, his aunt. “He was a bright young man who just wanted every-body to get along.”

Emily Dyke, a para-medic who met Hoga-rth at school last year, said: “He was probably the nicest guy I met there.

“All he could talk about were his plans

in life and what he wanted to do.”

V I U j o u r n a l i s m instructor Richard Dunstan taught Hoga-rth and described him as “a bright spot in the class, very cheerful and very eager.”

The Hogarths moved from Calgary to Camp-bell River in 2009.

When the family returned to Calgary in 2011, Josh stayed behind to pursue a bachelor of arts pro-gram in creative writ-ing and journalism at Vancouver Island Uni-versity.

Calgary police said Hogarth and Blanchard had been involved in a

dispute.“They were friends.

It is my understand-ing they had known each other since 2007,” Staff Sgt. Doug Andrus said.

The Oct. 13 Celebra-tion of Life, the day Joshua would have cel-ebrated his 19th birth-day, begins at 10 a.m.

EDITOR: Alistair [email protected]

PUBLISHER: Zena [email protected]

The BC Liberals may be far behind the opposition NDP in the polls, but there are a few factors bubbling along — mostly under the surface — that may change their fortunes for the better by election day next May.

The Liberals still face an uphill battle in getting re-elected. The NDP is polling well, getting roughly twice the support that the Liberals are get-ting in recent polls. However, the most recent poll, which was published last week, showed the Liberals gaining a small amount of support, with the

NDP slipping slightly.This is simply one poll, and polling results are becom-

ing less and less reliable, as the Alberta and Quebec

elections this year have illustrated.However, the Liberals will do even better if the BC

Conservatives, who have taken a significant amount of support away from them, falter. The Conservatives are holding a meeting this Saturday in Langley, and one item on the agenda is a confidence vote on John Cum-mins’ leadership.

Should he not receive the backing of almost all the membership, the Conservatives will be thrown into chaos. While such a scenario seems unlikely, the Con-servatives have a history of internal revolts and leader-ship dissatisfaction. If there is a significant split at the meeting, the Liberals will only gain.

A third factor is Premier Christy Clark herself. While Clark has taken plenty of heat, she showed on Sunday

at Rich Coleman’s annual barbecue that she has a good ability to campaign and communicate. This is some-thing Coleman and others have said — Clark is a good campaigner, and is an effective match for NDP leader Adrian Dix. This will be a significant factor as people make their minds up.

Another factor is that Dix and his party have been in the lead (in the polls) for a long period. The NDP is releasing almost no policy information, and this gap in information is causing more and more questions to be asked about the party’s actual agenda. Should this lack of information about what an NDP government would do continue into the winter, the Liberals may see their fortunes rise even more. Six months is a long time in politics, and next May’s election is even further away.

Liberals have opportunity to close the gapOur ViewOur View

SPECIAL DELIVERY...Whenever we send a snail mail letter these days, we still are never completely confident it’s going to get there.

It may be unfair, a remnant of days when volume and technology restricted the reliability of mail deliv-ery. Letters went missing in those sorting machines, maybe flung out onto the floor by a glitch in the roller. Sometimes, they were diverted to Mis-sissauga.

Then there was geographic igno-rance. When I lived up north, letters intended for Whitehorse, Yukon Terri-tory, often went to Yellowknife, North-west Territories. Because they’re kind of the same place, right?

But despite that history, there are

times when letters get delivered against all odds and you just wonder how.

I got one the other day from Den-man Island. It was addressed to ‘Edi-tor, Campbell River Mirror, Campbell River B.C. V9W 2B2.’ Who needs a street address? And forget about the postal code – our postal code is V9W 1X9. But it got here. Of course, every-body knows where the Campbell River Mirror is, right?

So who needs an address? Any mail for me can be addressed to ‘Alistair’s house, Campbell River.’

HOLIDAYS REVISITED...You think Campbell River is off the beaten track sometimes but it is still a fairly well-known place. I checked into a hotel

in Golden, B.C. and the manager informed me she was going to be in Campbell River in the fall for a wed-ding.

A Banff Park ranger had worked at Strathcona Park Lodge. An American we chatted with in Glacier National Park had a cousin in Nanaimo, so knew about Campbell River. And as usual, whenever Campbell River was mentioned, some reference was made to the fishing.

I’m always unsure of how to describe where I’m from whenever I’m in the U.S. One old guy asked me where I was from last year and I said ‘Canada.’ To which, he replied dryly, ‘Canada’s a big place.’ On a Park Ranger-guided nature walk, we all were asked to

introduce ourselves and where we’re from. About eight of the 11 or so of us were from Wisconsin or somewhere.

The ranger looked at me and said, ‘Please tell me you’re from somewhere different.’

I didn’t disappoint. Sometimes when you get into a conversation, people will ask where you’re from and you brace yourself to explain because there’s some Americans who are familiar with Canada and there are others who don’t know there’s another country above them on the map. They think that map of the U.S. on the classroom wall showing a disembodied Lower 48 with Alaska and Hawaii floating off to the side like satellites is how the world actually is.

The following is an open letter to city hall filed for publication in the Mirror.

We recently enjoyed reading some encouraging num-bers on the success of Campbell River Transit over the past years.

Apparently Campbell River residents are using Campbell River’s transit system like never before, and we are well ahead of usage and costs of others in our peer group, such as Vernon and Penticton.

The figures provided imply that every resident of Campbell River uses Campbell River Transit with 17.92 rides per person. I know quite a few residents, includ-ing myself, have never used local buses (I prefer my bike).

Now, whenever a Transit bus cruises by, I can’t help but notice one to four people on board.

How are the usage numbers calculated?Let’s compare the numbers provided by Campbell

River Transit. (Population figures from the 2011 cen-sus).

I hope all of the BC Transit providers report their statistics in the same

manner. If these cit-ies can learn from each other, maybe Camp-

bellRiver could enjoy

the revenue success enjoyed by Penticton and see

revenues of $9.975 million instead? In turn, Penticton could look at

reducing their oper-ating expenses by following Campbell River’s

e x a m p l e . W i t h growth like this, city hall really wouldn’t need to

subsidize this sur-face in the future. With Councillor (Andy) Adams planning

a service review, this might be a good area to look at as well.

Transit: Cities can learn from eachotherContinued from A8

Mike de Jong’s debut as B.C. finance minister was a grim one. The first financial update for this election year projects a $1.4 billion decline in natural resource rev-enues from Kevin Fal-con’s one and only bud-get in February.

Most of that is from declining natural gas revenues in the next three years. And it’s not just the price of gas

that’s lower than the finance ministry’s array of private sector experts had forecast.

The volume of B.C. gas sold is down as well, as abundant new sources of shale gas come on-stream in the U.S. with oil, currently the only market Canada has.

De Jong’s response shows how serious this problem is for any B.C. government. He inher-

its Falcon’s political commitment to present a balanced budget next spring. How he will do that, and be believed in a heated post-HST elec-tion campaign, remains a mystery. De Jong announced a hiring freeze for government staff, and a management salary freeze across health care, universities and Crown corporations as well as government

operations. He hinted at an even harder line with unions, as the govern-ment’s largest employee group continued selec-tive strike action.

This, and the famil-iar vow to rein in travel and other discretionary spending, won’t come close to replacing the lost gas revenues.

More than 60 Camp-bell River entrepre-neurs, the most ever, have been nominated for this year’s Chamber of Commerce Business Awards of Distinction taking place at the Tidemark Theatre on Saturday, Sept. 22.

This gala event has sold out for three years running and

is expected to do the same this year with the Chamber also cel-ebrating its 80th anni-versary.

Chamber President Colleen Evans says the event “celebrates and recognizes business leadership and the con-tribution of outstand-ing entrepreneurs to our community, local

economy and quality of life.”

The event’s theme, Success Beyond the Lemonade Stand, “rec-ognizes and honours the foundation and fundamentals of busi-ness literacy and sets a vibrant tone for the evening celebration,” Evans adds.

Sixty-eight entrepre-

neurs are competing for awards in 10 cat-egories of leadership from business leader to young entrepreneur, from large business to micro.

A panel of indepen-dent judges comprised of community and busi-ness leaders through-out Campbell River evaluated the nomina-

tions. “The Chamberis proud to honour all the outstanding nomi-nees whose hard work and dedication to their businesses help make Campbell River a great place to live, work and play,” Evans says.

The awards event will feature a gala reception, sponsored by Nyrstar.

Chamber awards attract most nominations ever


“Camp Homewood on Quadra Island has been contributing to our community since the 1940s and now it’s time to give back,” says camp supporter Kim Stevens.

The camp lost $50,000 in revenue this spring because of the gov-ernment dispute with teachers and “the crunch” has hit home this fall, says Camp General Director Irwin Harder.

A group of Camp Homewood fans are gathering Saturday, Sept. 22 from 8:30 a.m. - noon at the Church on the Way on 7th Avenue across from Phoenix School to do their best to help out.

The fundraising event will be both festival and garage sale. There will be several families par-ticipating in the garage sale which will include everything from an antique bed to sports equipment and house-hold items. All the pro-ceeds will go to help Camp Homewood meet its obligations.

Stevens says, “Home-wood has found itself in a financial shortfall this year, due in part to the unexpected and regrettable cancella-tions from the teach-ers’ job action this past spring.” School District 72 has always been a great user of the facil-ity but was forced to cancel many bookings, Stevens says.

Harder says the camp refuses to go into debt to finance operations and is currently having difficulty with its pro-gram of offering $1,000

schooling bursaries to its camp volunteers.

Camp founders Alf and Margaret Bayne started the Pacific Coast Children’s Mis-sion in 1944. A perma-nent base was estab-lished in 1948 when the Baynes moved onto a portion of the present Homewood property on

Quadra.Over the years the

camp program has expanded involving more campers and reaching out to more people every year. The Woodsman Camp was started in 1965 on the freshwater Village Bay Lakes. The site was later moved to its pres-

ent location on Mine Lake. In 1979 the main lodge opened enhanc-ing year round pro-gramming. Since then other buildings have been added includ-ing the bunkhouse, a guest house, uphill and downhill wash houses, three uphill cabins, bus barn and indoor riding arena.

S t e v e n s s a y s , “Changes have been continually taking place but the most important changes have been in people’s lives.”

It’s always summerin our mind!

( e ven though the ca l enda r says o the rw i se )

A new radio station for students is coming to Campbell River.

“Kidz Talk Radio, a program representing a new approach to liter-acy for all ages, is ten-tatively set to launch October 19 in Camp-bell River,” says Diana Camerin, one of a few local individuals work-ing to put together this progressive and fun approach to literacy education. “Being liter-ate refers to the ability to read for knowledge, write coherently, com-municate effectively and think critically. What I love about Kidz Talk Radio is that it brings all of these ele-ments into a classroom, after school or work-shop experience that is educational, interactive and uses youth’s natu-ral love of technology as the vehicle to deliver the message.”

The program is deliv-ered by trained facilita-tors and brings all the technology needed to complete the program.

Local radio person-alities have provided the expertise around such topics as clear vocal communication skills, creative writ-ing, the need for news and sports stories and responsible and effec-tive on-air announc-ing. “At the end of

the day kidz will have written and voiced an advertisement for a product they actually tasted or researched, given voice to local top-ics that are important to them and learned the vital elements of good communication,” Camerin says. Anyone interested in Kidz Talk Radio or would like more information can contact Camerin at [email protected] or 250-205-1078

Bob was the eldest child born to Lilburn and Ila Ruth Hunt at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Comox. He is survived by his younger siblings; Bill (Pat) Edna and Floyd (Beth). Bob and Joyce, wife of 60 years, were fortunate to be blessed with three children; Daryl (Gail) Hunt of Vernon, BC; Diane (Les) Brown of Courtenay, BC and Yvonne (Doug) German of Sherwood Park, Alberta. Bob loved hearing about, talking to and visiting with his grandchildren; Sean, Daniel, Cameron and Kathryn. He took a great deal of interest in their lives and was very proud of their accomplishments. Dad was fortunate enough to get to meet his only great grandchild Makayla before his illness overcame him.He also leaves behind many nephews and nieces.His work ethic set a strong example for all that knew him. He was a hard working man with a disability that never deterred him. He simply found a way to get on with the job. Many that met him were never aware of this challenge that he coped with his entire life. His working life was spent in the coastal logging industry. He knew a great many people and whenever they encounted Dad, a protracted chin wag invariably resulted. Bob was familiar with many places on Vancouver Island and the coastal regions of BC. Always, there were stories of people, places and happenings. Many funny, some sad and some that only a vivid imagination could relate. He was a great story teller with a wonderful sense of humour.Bob was kind hearted, loving, generous and willing to help in any way he could. He took great pride in his home, his family and his work. In his retirement years, Bob derived a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction from his greenhouse and woodworking shop. Copious volumes of tomatoes and fl owers were grown for many years. His shop provided many hours of enjoyment as he built a wide range of furniture. Many hours were spent in his shop with his friends exchanging stories of “logging the tallest timber and catching the biggest fi sh”. Our memories are varied but will always be closely held in our hearts. He will be lovingly remembered and sorely missed. His favourite expression- “Hooey! Hooey!” says it all. There will be a Celebration of Bob’s Life at 631 19th St. Courtenay BC on Sept. 22 from 1:30-4:00 PM. Please bring your photos and your stories. A private family service will be held at a future date.In lieu of fl owers, for those wishing to do so, a memorial donation in Bob’s name may be made to the BC Cancer Agency.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Luise Vesper, beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

Mum was a kind and gentle soul. She found the greatest pleasure in bringing happiness to others. Mum's talents were multifarious. She was an accomplished seamstress, knitter, crocheter, needlepointer, baker, chef and gardener. Gardening was one of her greatest joys. Her green thumb was evident every year when her perennials started to bloom. Mum always enjoyed sharing her fl owers with anyone that wished to partake of them.

Above and beyond anything, her greatest joy was her family. Mum's devotion to her family was beyond reproach. She leaves to mourn her loss, her loving daughter Alaina (Ken) great-grandchildren Ayden, Nova and Annika. One brother Michael, and a large extended family in Germany.

Service at a later date.

We love you Mum.

“Gene” passed away peacefully in the Campbell River Hospital with the love of his family surrounding him.Gene has always possessed the ability to build anything and everything. Being a welder as a young man, he began by building his own motorcycle (attached with a great story of course), and moved on to building all of his own homes with great care and precision. This meant climbing mountains to chip rock for the walls, and collecting wood blocks from the bush to cut shakes for the roof.Gene didn’t stop at houses, as he was a fi ne boat builder as well, which led him into a career as a commercial fi sherman. He continued on from there into construction, before retiring in Black Creek to pursue his passion of “Extreme Gardening”. For all who has had the pleasure of experiencing his fl owers, vegetables and fruit, they will remember him for his love of growing.Eugene is survived by his son, Robin, daughter, Joanne Menagh (David), predeceased by daughter, Debra Jean, predeceased by son, Terrance Dale, predeceased by his dog and best friend, Kubie. Grandchildren, Mike, Tyler, Stevi, Arin, Rheanna, Melanie, Sara and 6 great grand children whom he loved with all his heart.The family would like to extend their gratitude to Dr. Robert Ramsey and nurse Carman for their compassion they gave to Gene on his fi nal days.

PAUL RUDAN/THE MIRRORPerfect hair...always!Kerry Fraser was always known as one of the best referees in the National Hockey League, but he was better known for his immaculate coiffure. Now

retired from reffing the big boys, Fraser was in Campbell River on Monday night to officiate the charity hockey match between the NHL Oldtimers and the

local Law Enforcement club. The undermanned Law Enforcement team weren’t much of a match for the Oldtimers which included Hall of Famers Bryan Trot-

tier and Glenn Anderson. Even a couple lopsided trades didn’t help the Cops who fell 17-12...or something like that. See more photos on Page A31.

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRRORFIRST ISSUE 1971


The city is forecasting a $3.6 million budget shortfall for 2012, according to preliminary fig-

ures.That’s up substantially from the last estimated budget deficit of $550,000 back in December.The picture looks bleaker now because of a change in the prop-

erty assessment value of the defunct Catalyst mill site. The BC Assessment Authority announced early last month that Catalyst no longer meets the requirements of a major industrial property, and

has been reclassified as business/other, which means a significant reduction in Catalyst’s property taxes.That decision results in a loss of $1.8 million in tax revenue for

2012. Included in the deficit is a $1.1 million tax shortfall carried over from 2011, plus a $1.3 million increase in costs related to con-tract commitments and inflation-ary increases, said Laura Ciarn-iello, the city’s general manager of corporate services.If the city were to maintainthe current level of services it provides to citizens, the tax rate would have to increase by 24 per cent in order to make up the $3.6 million.

The loss of $1.8 million fromCatalyst alone, equates to a 12 per cent residential tax increase.To put that into perspective, Ciarniello said a one per cent res-idential tax increase would bring in $150,000 in revenue for the city. That one per cent increase would mean roughly $12 more per year in property taxes for the average homeowner.

The city’s operating budget isapproximately $37 million which

A unilateral First Nations declaration that a bear hunting ban will be “enforced” in the Great Bear Rainfor-est should have little or no impact in the Bute Inlet region of the cen-tral coast adjacent to Campbell River.

Last week Kitasoo/Xaixais Chief Doug Neasloss, a bear-watch-ing guide, said, “Despite years of effort by the Coastal First Nations to find a resolution to this issue with the province this senseless

and brutal trophy hunt continues. We will now assume the authority to monitor and enforce a closure of this sense-less trophy hunt.”

The area included in this ban extends from Haida Gwaii down the central coast. The most southern limits of the Great Bear Rainforest touch on Bute Inlet, tra-ditional territory of the Campbell River-based Homalco Nation.

But, Homalco band manager Alison Tren-holm has told the Mir-ror, “We are not part of the bear hunting ban.” The Homalco operate a

very successful “Bears of Bute” bear watching excursion program.

The announcement that First Nations individuals were pre-pared to take the law into their own hands has raised alarms that there could be poten-tially dangerous con-frontations this hunt-ing season.

“Our concern is that people without juris-diction are unilaterally deciding something like this,” said Scott Ellis, executive director of the Guide Outfitters Association of B.C.

Forests and Lands

Minister Steve Thom-son said, “I’m disap-pointed in the decla-ration that they’ve taken.”

He added that it is not clear how First Nations intend to enforce the ban, and “it’s too soon to say exactly how we’re going to respond without more specifics on the actions that they might take.”

Karl Granlund, owner of Granlund Firearms here in Campbell River, said, “I deal strictly with hunters and it is a concern to me what will happen if we end up with a bear hunt-

ing ban. What’s next? Everything? That’s what the natives want ... everything.”

W h i l e G r a n l u n d anticipates that the First Nations ban will end up as “a protracted legal battle in the courts,” he is not con-cerned about a confron-tation on the ground.

“The reality is that everyone involved in hunting and guiding adheres to very high standards of integrity and gun safety and they would not engage in any confrontation.”

There was also news following the ban that

environmental groups are accelerating their efforts to purchase hunting rights to pro-tect bears and defuse conflicts.

The Raincoast Con-servation Foundation now controls hunting in 28,000 square kilome-tres of the central coast and its latest acquisi-tion of 3,500 square kilometres includes key areas around Prin-cess Royal Island where there is the highest con-centration of Kermode or spirit bears.

The certificate pur-chase, which gives hunting rights in per-

petuity, cost about $320,000.

A similar purchase in 2005 of 25,000 square kilometres cost about $1.3 million.

B.C.’s unique Ker-mode – a black bear that is as white as a polar bear because of a recessive gene – is found only in the Great Bear Rainforest.

Although Kermode bears are protected and cannot legally be shot, it is impossible for hunters to know if a black-coloured black bear has the recessive gene that could pro-duce white offspring.

Homalco Nation will not join bear hunt ban

Campbell River Ath-letic Association Youth Rugby is beginning team training sessions and welcomes girls and boys ages 8-18.

Trainings are usually once a week, on Sunday afternoons, and compe-titions also take place on Sundays at various Island clubs.

Players play co-ed touch rugby against various clubs in the Vancouver Is land Rugby Union.

“Last year was our first year participat-

ing and we really sur-prised the rest of the Island. Our kids ran hard, defended relent-lessly, ran creative plays, always caught kickoffs. It was a very promising start. At one Jamboree, we went 3-0 and it wasn’t until I checked my notes at the end of the day did I realize that every player scored at least one try,” says Erin Young, coach and co-ordinator.

The next age level up involves separating the genders for competi-tion, and contact (tack-ling, scrums, rucks, line outs) is intro-

duced. Young points out that although hav-ing enough players to form an entire seven- or 15-a side team would be great, it’s not neces-sary as other clubs will welcome new players on their squads come game time.

Rugby combines physical and mental toughness and disci-pline with fun, team-work, camaraderie and always respect.

#1 A seven-goal outburst in the second period blew Friday’s Camp-bell River Storm game against the Nanaimo B u c c a n e e r s w i d e open.

Going into the sec-ond frame at Rod Brind’Amour Arena, the score was tied 0-0 but Nanaimo scored four times and the Storm replied with three in the second period. The Stor m goat two from Tyson

Rennie and one from Alex Benjestorf in the second.

Alex Grupe tied it up quickly in the third for the Storm at 43 sec-onds before giving up the lead at 10:24 on the power play.

Pulling the goalten-der allowed the Storm to press in the dying moments but the Buc-caneers held fast, win-ning the game 5-4.

The Storm put that game behind them,

though, coming out the next night to take on the winless Comox Valley Glacier Kings in Courtenay.

After the first period ended tied 1-1 on goals by the Storm’s Curtis Bagnall and the Kings’ Jordan Kamprath, the Glacier Kings took the lead at 6:01 in the second. The Storm came back with a goal from Mikey Markland on the power play at 14:04 on assists from

Ryan White and Alex Grupe and then James Severs scored a short-handed tally at 16:23 on an assist from Jesse Spooner.

The Kings tied it up again at 16:14 in the third but Alex Benjestorf scored the winner at 17:05 on assists from Severs and Spooner.

T he Stor m play the Glacier Kings on Friday night at Rod Brind’Amour Arena.

Salmon are Incredibly Effi cient Eaters Salmon farmers in BC can currently achieve a ratio of about 1.2 kgs of feed to 1 kg of salmon: which makes us very close to being a net producer of protein. This is great when we talk about the importance of feeding the world: for example, chickens convert feed at a 2:1 ration, while pigs are closer to 6:1. Salmon feed is designed specifi cally to conserve wild fi sh stocks and ensure healthy fi sh. With a limited amount of fi sh meal and fi sh oil available in the world, feed companies have focused on using it as effi ciently as possible: and made great strides in that work.

Supporting the Aquaculture Industry for over 20 years

Each year, salmon farmers from Campbell River join the egg, apple, chicken, beef and grain farmers (among many more) at the PNE Kids Farm to talk about raising fi sh. It’s always a busy time as kids gobble up the activity in the excitement of the fair – but there’s one question that is common among the young people and their parents: How DO you raise fi sh on a farm? We would say it’s quite simple, but it’s not. In BC, our salmon are raised right from the egg, collected from broodstock raised by our farmers. Fertil-ized eggs are incubated in hatcheries and raised there for the fi rst year of their lives. These hatcheries are on land and use recirculating technology to manage the amount of water they use. This is a critical stage in the fi sh’s growth. Once the fi sh are big enough, they will be transferred to their ocean farms, fi rst by truck from the hatchery and then by boat. Each farm has between eight

and 12 enclosures, each, holding around 50,000 fi sh. It seems like a big number, but the salmon only take up about two per cent of the farm space. Because our farms are in re-mote areas, the staff will need to take water taxis in for their shifts caring for the fi sh. They will stay on site for multiple days, in a

fl oating residence attachedto the farm. At the farm, the salmon willbe raised for up to two years, until they’re between fi ve and six kilograms, when they areharvested.Once harvested, they’re takenby boat to a processing plant,and then shipped to your lo-cal store. Along the way, there aremany details that have tobe attended to: regular fi sh health monitoring, samplingand testing, ongoing envi-ronmental testing (waterquality and ocean bottomconditions), site safety andbiosecurity, maintenanceof nets and structures areamong the many proceduresfarmers must undertake to

ensure success. They are busy days on thefarms: lovely in the summersun and harrowing in the winterstorms. While the process is com-plex, the real answer to the ques-tion of how we raise fi sh on a farmis actually quite simple: passion-ately and carefully.

Why an Aquaculture Awareness Week?

MEET OUR FARMERS For Jacob Koomen Bike to Work Week is much more than a week’s challenge; it’s training for the hundreds of kilometres he will ride this year to raise money for cancer research. “I love cycling,” says Koomen who works as maintenance manager at Marine Harvest Canada’s Sayward North hatchery, simply. He loves it so much that he’s happy to make the 70-km-each-way (2.5 hours a piece) commitment each year for Bike to Work Week.

Each month, we highlight someone working in the salmon farming industry who is going above and beyond in their after-work hours. To read the full post, visit www.bcsfabeyondexpectations.wordpress.com
