Councillor is down on the farmALISTAIR TAYLOR
CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
A plan to encourage agricul-ture in the city of Campbell River
won’t get one thin dime from tax-payers if Coun. Ziggy Stewart has his way.
“It’s a non-starter,” Stewart said.
Coun. Stewart gave an impas-sioned and, at times, emotional commentary on a draft agricul-tural plan that was presented to council by the Agriculture Plan
Steering Committee. Stewart called on his own family
history in farming and painted a bleak picture of the economics of

Police continue to investigate the death of a seven-year-old boy in Campbell River Wednesday.
A man is in police custody after his seven-year-old son died.
Campbell River RCMP were called out to assist ambulance attendants at a residence on Alder Street at 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday.
On arrival, officers determined that the boy was suffering from serious injuries.
He was then transported to hospital via ambulance where he succumbed to his injuries.
Sgt Craig Massey of the Camp-bell River RCMP cannot provide details on what the boy’s injuries were at this time.
Nor are names being released yet.
“The investigation is ongoing,” said Massey. “We’re in the early stages.”

RENÉE ANDORCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Armed with his dog and years of experi-ence, Campbell Riv-erite Dave Ratson’s recent unplanned over-night stay on Mount Washington wasn’t a huge deal.
Ratson went up for a day hike around the Lake Helen Mackenzie area, and over towards Mount Becher around 10 a.m. last Friday morning.
A little fog was com-ing in and out of the area throughout the day, but started to roll in heavily around 4 p.m., and caused Rat-son to lose sight of landmarks he needed to get back out.
“I was frustrated at not being able to get a good bearing on which direction to head out,” said Ratson.
Because so much snow is left in the area this summer, trail markers are still hid-den and hikers must
use landmarks like hills and valleys. How-ever, the fog prevented Ratson from seeing these in the distance.
Although Ratson had good boots and warm clothes, he didn’t have a cell phone, com-pass, map, or GPS. He walked around in circles for a while to no avail.
“At about nine o’clock at night, I started to realize, ‘I’m going to be here for the night,’” he said.
He managed to find a dry tree to shelter him – which was a struggle with snow – put on all his clothes, and prepared to spend the night with his dog, Willow, who is a “very good mountain com-panion.”
Although Ratson was exhausted, he said he was not anxious, as he’s had unplanned overnight stays about six times in his moun-taineering experience.
Meanwhile, his son Alex, who knew the
general area his father was in and was expect-ing him home around 7 p.m., decided to head up with a couple of friends at about 11 p.m. to look for his father.
Although an expe-rienced mountaineer himself, in the wee hours of the morning Alex decided to call in some help.
About 30 search and rescue members from Campbell River, the Comox Valley, Mount A r row s m i t h , a n d the Cowichan Valley joined forces to look for Ratson, according to the president of the B.C. Tracking Associa-tion, Win Koch.
Although the team looked for him dur-
ing the early hours of the morning, Ratson walked out all by him-self the next morning.
“He was prepared and he was familiar with the area,” Koch told /A\ Channel News.
“He had the right equipment and he knew what to do.”
Ratson was rushing to get out before the search got fully under way, and met up with crews at about 10:30 a.m. on the board walk near Battleship Lake.
He laughed as he said the biggest struggle of the night was trying to keep his dog next to him to keep warm.
His night spent under a tree won’t stop Ratson from heading out for a another trip soon.
“I love going out in the mountains, and this certainly doesn’t detract from my enthu-siasm,” he said, add-ing he plans to go out again before the snow is gone this summer.

If your veterinarian sends you a vaccine reminder, don’t ignore it! Vaccination can help prevent some very devastating diseases such as distemper. Distemper is a highly contagious viral disease of domestic dogs and other animals such as ferrets, skunks and raccoons. It is an incurable, often fatal, multisystemic disease that affects the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and central nervous systems. Distemper is caused by the canine distemper virus. The disease is spread mainly by direct contact between a susceptible dog and a dog showing symptoms. Coughing and sneezing can spread the virus over short
distances. As with all infectious diseases, clinical signs can vary. The main clinical signs are diarrhea, vomiting, a thick yellow-green discharge from the eyes and nose, cough and, in severe cases, seizures and neurological signs. Death often is the end result. Dogs that recover from the disease are often left with persistent nervous muscular twitches and recurrent seizures. As with most viral infections, there is no specifi c treatment. Antibiotics are not effective against viruses, but do help in controlling the secondary bacterial infections that often occur with distemper. The treatment for distemper is aimed at helping reduce
the intensity of signsand symptoms. Thisis accomplished withhospitalization to providethe patient with intensivenursing care, intravenousfl uid therapy andsymptomatic treatmentfor the vomiting, diarrhea,cough, etc. Anti-seizureand anti-infl ammatorymedications may berequired in some cases. How can I preventmy dog from becominginfected?Fortunately there arehighly effective vaccinesto prevent this deadlydisease. These vaccinesare given to puppiesalong with other routinevaccines. After the initialpuppy vaccine boosters,additional distempervaccine boosters shouldbe given to adult dogs.Your veterinarian willhelp you determine howoften your dog shouldreceive booster vaccine. Canine distemperis seen worldwide butbecause of the widespreaduse of successful vaccines,it is much less commonthan it was in the 1970’s. Itis still seen in populationswhere vaccination ratesare low and in stray dogs.The virus may persist inrecovered carrier dogsand in wildlife such asskunks and raccoons.It is essential to keepvaccinating our dogpopulation to preventcanine distemper fromreturning as a major killerof dogs.

farming as a sustain-able industry and, con-sequently, the waste of money any taxpayer support of it would be.
“It is a challenge – a challenge – to have a sustainable lifestyle working from farm-ing,” Stewart said.
Committee chair Mor-gan Ostler appeared before council Tuesday to outline the plan and answer questions from councillors.
“In the mid-Island, we historically have thought of ourselves as a resource-based com-munity focused on log-ging, fishing and min-ing,” Ostler told coun-cil. “We have not seen ourselves as having a future in agricultural enterprise. However, the times are chang-ing. Vancouver Island is changing. With the downturn in resource-based economy, many communities on the Island are successfully diversifying by devel-oping their agriculture sector.”
Vancouver Island once produced more than half of the region’s food require-ments. In the past 60 years, this number has dropped to 10 per cent, Ostler said. In Camp-bell River, food produc-tion is less than one
per cent.“That’s a shocking
figure,” Ostler said. “If huge semi-trailers didn’t arrive here on a daily basis loaded with food supplies, we would not be able to sustain ourselves.”
Ostler said that if Vancouver Island were cut off from the main-land for some reason, there is only enough food supply to last three days.
When Ostler talks about agricultural opportunities to Camp-bell River residents, the most consistent response is “but we have no arable land.”
The draft plan Ostler and her committee pre-sented to council was written up by consul-tants and shows that there are hundreds of acres of high quality soil, some of it owned by timber companies, some by the city and other lands privately held.
“The soil specialist who surveyed the land tells us that Campbell River has large areas equivalent in soil value to Abbotsford and Lan-gley,” Ostler said.
One-third of the city is zoned as Agricul-tural Land Reserve (ALR) that equates to approximately 12,000 acres (5,000 hectares)
of potential farmland.“‘But these lands
are mostly covered in trees,’ could be the rebuttal,” Ostler said. “Well, back in 1920 when Tom Hudson arrived here by boat, the 120 acres of land he chose had already been lightly logged. He cleared the rest by hand and with horse. Today, Hudson’s Farm is an outstanding example of the agricul-tural potential of our district’s farmland.”
Ostler said it has been clearly established that
Campbell River has significant agricul-tural land within its borders.
But Coun. Stewart took issue with the idea of taxpayers’ money being put into this agricultural plan. Particularly because he believes it would be throwing good money after bad. Farming is a difficult industry in which to make money.
Stewart disagreed with a lot of the con-clusions in the draft plan.
“There are inconsis-
tencies and assump-tions” in the report that are “made without what appears to be any farming knowledge,” Stewart said. “What is being sold in this report sometimes is not very factual.”
Stewart referred to his own family history of farming in Black Creek and Duncan as well as his own edu-cation in horticulture and a career in land-scaping. Stewart said the expense of buying land and converting it to farming plus the
cost of labour and the lack of good workers is a major obstacle. Farming doesn’t pay very well – neither in return on investment to the farmer nor in the level of wages paid to workers.
Stewart seemed to take from the report that it was going to require taxpayer sub-sidies to make it work, he even at one point took issue with the idea that there was going to be free land and free labour avail-able for farming.
But Ost ler said nowhere in the report does it talk about giv-ing free land or money to anybody to get into farming. The intent of the plan is to encour-age the community to pursue agricultural opportunities in the broadest sense – from hobby farms to com-mercial greenhouses.
“I don’t want to leave the impression with the public that we want to provide free land and free labour,” Ostler said to Stewart. “That’s never the intention.”

Nine Coastal Regional District chairs and vice chairs, from Metro Vancouver to Victo-
ria, and north to Bella Coola, have united in voicing their concerns over coastal communi-ties impacted from BC Ferry Corporation fare increases.
On July 19 they met with Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, Blair Lekstrom, to discuss the issue. They pre-sented evidence that the fare increases are damaging island and coastal communities, and advised the Min-ister that the origi-
nal objectives of the Coastal Ferry Act have not been met.
Members of the group also presented the concept that ferry service could be con-sidered an extension of highway service, which could require that it be treated and funded in the same manner as non-marine infrastructure.
“The point was that [ferries] should be treated exactly as the highways are,” said Strathcona Regional District chair, Jim Abram.
He wants the service put back under the
wing of the Ministry of Transportation and Highways. Abram is confident Lekstrom wil l consider a l l options.
“I think that the tide is turning. I really do,” said Abram. “Blair tries to do what’s
right as far as I’m con-cerned.”
According to Abram, Gulf Island communi-ties have seen popu-lation and business declines.
He cited Quadra Island Elementary School’s enrollment decline; from 325 chil-dren in the late 1990’s to just 89 children now.
“The public just can’t take it anymore,” said Abram. “We have all of these communities that contribute greatly to the wealth of the province, and why is it that the ferries are not being treated as high-
ways connecting those communities? Give me a break.”
Together this group of regional districts represents 2.9 million British Columbians, or 63 percent of the provincial population. According to Abram, this diverse group of regional districts com-ing together is not the norm.
“It’s a very unusual situation for a group of chairs and vice chairs from all the coastal regional districts to get together with a common purpose,” he explained.
The entire group will be meeting with the Ferry Commis-sioner on Aug. 8, and plans to meet with Pre-mier Christy Clark as well as Lekstrom, at the Union of British Columbia Municipali-ties (UBCM) conven-tion during September, according to Abram.
The group intends to put an Emergency Res-olution forward during the convention, asking for the ferry system to be part of the high-ways system.
Abram is confident it will pass.
“I don’t believe there will be any opposition to that resolution,” said Abram.

It was difficult to watch NDP leader Jack Layton address the media Monday in announcing his temporary departure from his duties as leader of the
official Opposition.He looked gaunt and frail and
sounded weak as he delivered the shocking news that he was battling a new cancer and would need to take time off to once again ward off the disease.
This news, coming just weeks after Layton wowed a nation on the campaign trail with his charm and energy in leading his party to a
remarkable 103 seats, is both ironic and sad.The man most view as the single reason why the
NDP is in uncharted territory in both popularity and power, is leaving his fellow MPs, many of them rookies in Ottawa, just when they need him most.
However, in typical bulldog fashion, Layton vows to be back for the September session of Parliament to hold the Conservative government accountable, and it’s safe to say that Canadians share his optimism and wish him well.
Many who saw him Monday may think he is being too optimistic but many of those same people likely thought Layton had little chance of success in
the last election campaign, fresh off a battle with prostate cancer and hip surgery.
Cane in hand, he promptly kicked political butt.That bodes well for the personal campaign against
cancer he now must wage and if a positive attitude and strong will count for anything, then it would be foolish to bet against him.
His party must find a way to get by without the man who led them to new heights for at least the short term. And attempting to bring his passion and commitment to this country and its citizens would be a great start.

Layton leads by exampleOur ViewOur View
Technology train is leaving me behind again
We say: He lead his party to new heights, now it must carry on
Good point: HSTI have a request to make to my fellow Campbell Riv-
erites. I know we are just a small percentage of the whole
of British Columbia but we were a huge part of thenumbers that voted to not except the HST.
I remember the line ups in malls and other placesto sign the petitions. I felt extremely proud beinginvolved. B.C. took a stand and something happened -the Government had to stop the process - we did it.
Now I’m asking if you were one of these peopleplease send in your NO to HST ballot so we can followthrough on what we demanded.
Thanks for reading. Lets stand proud. Vote Yes to sayNO to the HST.

So, I’m behind in technology again.
The realization of this usually comes when one of my electronic devices breakdown due to age.
My “stereo” is starting to act wonky. So, I better start pricing out a replacement, I figure.
Well, the last time I had to replace my “stereo” was in the mid 1990s when my component stereo went on the fritz and I discovered that records no longer existed and CDs were now the preferred medium of music deliv-ery.
So, I had to buy a stereo (the one cur-rently giving me grief) but couldn’t find one with a turntable to spin 300-400 vinyl records I had. Nowhere.
So, I buy one with CD capacity and the soon to be dead cassette player –
double cassette player, woo! The cas-settes disappeared within a handful of years too and I had to buy a whole new collection of CDs, replacing some of the 300-400 records I had. Some of them.
Over the last 10-15 years I’ve been building up my CD collection. In the interim I got rid of my records in garage sales only to discover a year or two ago that someone has decided it’s worthwhile producing a turnta-ble that can convert vinyl recordings into mp3 files.
Thanks for waiting until I virtually gave away my 300-400 records. Do you know how hard it is to find a Gang of Four CD these days?
Well, the trusty Sony (unmitigated plug – quality stereo, lasted 10-15 years now) is acting up. It hasn’t
given up the ghost yet, I’m employ-ing the male repair method (wait to see if it gets better) but given the age of the unit, the outlook is bleak.
So, I go looking for a replacement. Think I can find a CD player any-where? No!
Oh sure, if I want to buy a home entertainment centre for my HDTV, I can get a multi-CD player but a shelf unit? Nope.
Do people not buy CDs any more? I know what you’re thinking, “Where the hell have you been?”
I’m not a total Luddite. I do have an iPod. I’ve actually bought mp3s from a legal music download service but I didn’t realize the CD market had col-lapsed so much that CD players are now obsolete.
Anyone want to buy a hundred or
so CDs? Just wait, I’ll be giving themaway soon.
So now I have to find a shelf stereosystem that I can plug my iPod intoor which I can load mp3s into.
My usual method of listening torecorded music these days is to buyor borrow a CD and import the tracksinto my MacBook’s iTunes player.
At least this time I have the abilityto convert my music before the playerbecomes obsolete.
It’s this kind of situation that makesyou want to pirate music. I’ve alreadydiscovered that people have uploadedall the music I used to listen to on myvinyl albums onto YouTube. And it’sfree. For now.
Give it time, that will change andthey’ll find a way for me to pay forit.

Child care program more accessible in new home
PacificCARE’s Child Care Resource and Referral Program has a new home in Camp-bell River, creating easier public access to its services.
T h e n o n - p r o f i t regional organization moved into the Robron Centre in early July. Before the move, the Campbell River child care consultant for
PacificCARE, Rhonda Teramura, serviced the North Island from her home office.
“This will provide parents and child care providers much easier access to child care referral services, subsidy information, and the support of their local consultant in Campbell River,” explained Pacific-
CARE executive direc-tor Dianne Magor in a news release.
Besides assisting parents and caregiv-ers with child care subsidy information, and giving referrals and support to par-ents, PacificCARE provides resources to licensed child care providers, and pro-vides training and
workshops to all child care providers.
“With over two decades assisting par-ents and child care providers, we feel very excited and fortunate for this opportunity to move forward and share our services and experience with the Campbell River and North Island commu-nities,” added Magor. Child care services and information is more accessible in Campbell River now
that a new program has moved into Robron Centre.

Assemble the berry buckets and head for
the woods; salmon-berry season is in full swing, and while it may seem silly to name a berry for a fish, it’s the refresh-ing taste that makes them worth picking.
The native shrub’s odd vernacular name origi-nated along the Columbia River, where aboriginal peoples ate the tender red-dish shoots with dried salmon-roe. They also noticed that salmon eggs were similar in appearance to the tiny clustered globes on this fruit, which just happens to be the same colour as salmon
flesh. Within the rasp-
berry (Rubus) family, the magenta-petalled salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis) is truly spectacular, possess-
ing the only colour in a genus of white blooms. The wild raspberry clan counts among its members thimble-berry, blackberry,
bramble, dwarf nagoonberry and cloudberry.
Some consider the raspberry-like fruit to be edible but some-what mushy, espe-cially after rain, and the large juicy berries in yellow, honey-orange or red, often
vary widely in taste and texture from one bush to another. His-torically, Northwest Coast native groups ate some and dried the rest into fruit leather.
Today’s best advice seems to be: “Eat them fresh.” In recipes, salmonberries may be used like raspberries, but tend to be a bit watery. Add one cup-full of the fresh ber-ries to any shortcake or biscuit recipe for a real wild treat.
Native peoples also ate the vitamin-rich young shoots emerg-ing from the ground as a spring vegetable. Peeled or raw, the shoots taste sweet and juicy, and are deli-cious steamed with butter. Some groups held salmonberry sprout feasts, sing-ing and dancing on
the beach while the sprouts were steam-cooked in a pit.
As with every good member of the rasp-berry clan, salmo-nberry stems have some scattered prick-les; unlike the vicious
blackberry, however, salmonberry prickles will not tear the flesh off picking hands.
One of the most common plants along
Vancouver Island trails, salmonberry can be absolutely abundant beside streams and river-banks in the humid northwest.

C o r t e s I s l a n d Museum is offering a unique opportunity to travel through rip tides and narrow passages in Desolation Sound.
The museum is spon-soring a trip aboard MISTY ISLES to cir-cumnavigate historic Maurelle Island on
Wed., Aug. 17. Only certain tides
during the summer permit the one-of-a-kind trip. Surge Nar-rows in Beazley Pas-sage and the Hole In The Wall are famous for their tidal rapids but on this day we will be able to work our way
through at near slack water. Later in the afternoon the incom-ing tide will thunder through at almost 11 knots. Eagles, seals and sealions are often seen fishing in these fast waters. Along the way the boat will pass the Octopus Islands with
an old cottage where visiting boaters have left their marks. The trip will also take you through some fasci-nating historic places, from pictographs and old village sites to a 1920s store that is still standing. Skipper Mike Moore will be
your guide to the rich marine and bird life of the area while also telling tales of the area’s history. MISTY ISLES will depart from the Whaletown public dock at 10 a.m. and returns at about 5:30 p.m. in conjunc-tion with the ferry schedule. The cost for the trip is $115 (HST included). Par-ticipants from off island should catch the 8:30 a.m. ferry from Campbell River to Quadra Island which connects to the 9:05 a.m. ferry from Heriot Bay to Cortes Island where you can walk on. When you arrive in Whaletown a shuttle service is provided to the pub-lic dock. The shuttle will return partici-pants to catch the 5:50 p.m. ferry off Cortes Island that evening. Make sure to dress for the weather, bring a lunch and don’t forget your binocu-lars and camera.For more information or to register please call the Cortes Museum (250-935-6340), email [email protected] or drop by the Museum. The Cortes Museum has one last trip scheduled for this summer: Desola-tion Sound on Aug. 25.

Why is it so Dangerous to be a Pedestrian Lately?
Right or wrong, the pedestrian is always the loser in a collision with a motor vehicle. Nowhere in British Columbia is that more apparent than in Vancouver. So far this year, the pedestrian death count has already exceeded that of the entire year of 2010. How can this be? One would think that crossing the street can’t be that diffi cult, can it? Take out your earbuds, put down that texting device and hang up your cell phone, you’re going to need to pay attention to this, just like you need to pay attention when you cross. Use a crosswalk, take advantage of traffi c signals, walk don’t run, look everywhere, make eye contact, wait until everyone stops, watch the turning lanes, point your way to safety, look in all directions, especially when you are crossing multiple lanes, keep looking, look again, hold children’s hands and don’t walk if it looks like they won’t stop! Whew, that is a lot to remember after all! But, worthwhile to practice each and every time you cross. The alternative is not making it to the other side or making it anywhere ever again. Your life is worth the effort. The author is a retired constable with many years of traffi c enforcement experience. To comment or learn more, please visit www.drivesmartbc.ca.

Fine fiddlersCumberland hosted the BC Provincial Fiddle Contest on July 2 and Maddy Erickson of Campbell River won first place in the Junior Category (12 and under). She was accompanied by Heather Spetifore, also 12 years old. Erick-son and Spetifore frequently perform for local long term care facilities and are always a hit with the residents. Erickson currently takes private classi-cal violin lesson’s in Naniamo with James Mark, she also takes piano lesson’s in Campbell River with Shelley Roberts.
and invited the choir to be part of the Carnegie Hall event.
We were honoured to receive this invita-tion”, said director Barbara Prowse. The choir has previously performed at Carnegie Hall in 2000. “Just to stand on the stage where so many musical stars have performed and to sing in such a spectacular hall is a profound experience. It teaches the students what can be achieved with hard work and commitment”
Parents and singers have already begun the task of raising money for the trip and are planning many events to generate funds. “The kids are extremely excited about the trip and enthusiastic about fund raising,” says parent organizer Kim Stevens.
Over the next months the public is sure to see singers out in the com-munity collecting bot-tles, washing cars and doing whatever it takes to get to the festival. They are also are plan-ning a Zumba Party for September, and per-haps a spaghetti dinner in the fall. In addition, choristers will be sell-ing the CD that earned them the honour to attend the festival at these events. The choir will be ambassadors for Campbell River in the Big Apple and they hope the community will support them in this enterprise.

The fourth annual Music Fest on Shoal Bay, East Thurlow Island takes place on Saturday August 6th from noon to dusk.
Musicians and bands (mostly folk and blues) come from B.C. and Washington to this free event on the lawns of Shoal Bay, which has a govern-ment wharf, small lodge and pub.
A line-up of bands such as Morning Star Trio from Victoria, B r o w n v i l l e Blues Band from Bremerton, WA and many individ-ual musicians from Alert Bay, Quadra and Seattle guaran-tees a busy stage and fun afternoon and evening.
Members of the Daybreak Rotary Club are cooking an authentic giant seafood paella, as it was last enjoyed as Save-On Foods Paella at the Dancing and Tapas wheelchair fund-raiser.
This paella on Shoal Bay will be sponsored by The Framing Post and the proceeds out of this musical and culinary feast are again going to the Wheelchair efforts of both Campbell River Rotary clubs.
Shoal Bay Lodge offers not only this free event for all ages, but also free camping for those who want to stay over night.
There is limited moorage available at their govern-ment wharf, but a water taxi service will also be avail-able at special rates. For more informa-tion contact The Framing Post at 250-286-9717.

Her mother always enjoyed hearing Elaine sing. Elaine was a wonderful cook and baker. She was known for her desserts, sweets and cookies. She was a well-loved daughter because she kept her father supplied with his favorite cookies! Elaine was a natural caregiver.

Her sons have grown into strong, handsome, hard-working young men. Elaine was very proud of her sons. For many years Elaine operated a day care from her home.

Lower Mainland.
Snow began falling in parts of the region late
Sunday afternoon and by yesterday morning snow
and ice accumulations had made for treacherous
ially on local streets.h Alex Fraser

The Campbell River Comets’ Junior Devel-opment track athletes (age 9 to 13-years-old) had a great meet in Kamloops this past weekend.
The Kamloops facil-ity is a first-rate track where Dylan Arm-strong and a few other Olympians do their training.
“I was very pleased
by the effort, fun, and positive attitudes everyone had.
I am sure every athlete learned some-thing about a meet at the Provincial Level and even lear ned s o m e t h i n g a b o u t themselves,” said Comets coach Dale Trenholm.
Nine local athletes attended the event –
Julia and Madison Ashcroft , Kristin Gage, Olivia Knowles, Cassidy Hinsberger, Hayley Hunter, Seever Rondquist, Brendan Hoff, and Ryan Nast. For Knowles, Gage, Nast and Julia Ash-croft, it was their first ever provincial.
“The weekend was full of heart ache for some, personal best
and some hardware, which is what sport is,” Trenholm said.
“As a track and field athlete we have to fight through the heart ache, work on the personal best, and if you are close, go for a medal.”
Hoff and Rondquist stole the hardware with three gold and silver, with gold for Hunter and Nast.
Hoff won gold in the 2,000-metre race with a smoking time of 6:35.19; 3:40.05 in the 1,200, gold in the med-ley relay and silver in the 800.
Rondquist took gold in the Javelin, Shot-put, Medley Relay, and silver in the Disc.
His throw of 41.09 is now the top four all-time throw in B.C.
Hunter won gold in the javelin with a throw of 33.47, which earned her a first in the all-time top ten throws in B.C.
Nast received gold in the Medley Relay with a strong 200-metre run.
“All in all, I was very pleased with every-one’s effort, result and attitude,” Tren-holm said.
“We will be starting our cross country pro-gram in September, which I am looking forward to.”
