It appears to be a case of new age versus old school in the debate that has flared up over the Centennial Park upgrades planned for this fall.
The event “Stand up to the Tear Down” (of the park)took place Saturday and approximately 20 parents and a number of children attended to voice their concerns over the plan to remove the playground equipment and replace it with a natural playscape, materials such as plants, logs, water, sand, mud, boulders, hills and trees.
The design of natural play areas are intended to sup-port creative play, involve the senses, provide oppor-tunities for interactions with nature, and to encourage spontaneous exploration.
“As for this new ‘playscape’ notion, apparently this is an old idea rejuvenated,” said Cindy Wingert, the event organizer. “It has been tried before and didn’t work that time. My neighbour who called me told me that they tried that in the park about 40 years ago with a fallen tree and some other ‘natural aspects’. The idea failed and they eventually built a playground.”
“The main concern is that the natural playscape idea will simply not give the kids the exercise that they need,” said Wingert. “All the jumping and climbing and use of motor skills that children use in a playground setting is vital to their physical, emotional and mental being, it’s pretty simple. The features in the playscape simply will not give them the proper physical activity, never mind the fact that they are having lots of fun. This play structure is being torn down in favour

Campbell River City Council received a list of proposed amendments to the current Animal Control Bylaw which was last revised in 2006.
In a report to council at last Tuesday’s meeting, City Clerk Peter Wipper said that the
proposed amendments will help clarify the City’s responsibility to provide animal control and pound services, provide for offleash areas, improve enforcement capabilities with respect to barking dogs and provide for improved reporting.
Due to the substantial amount of insertions and amendments, Wipper recommended to
council that the existing bylaw be repealed and a new bylaw be adopted.
“Earlier this year Coastal Animal Control Services of BC was awarded the City’s animal control and pound services contracts,” said Wipper. “Both of these contracts had been previously held by the BC SPCA. In addi-tion to hiring a new contractor, the City has entered into a new services agreement with the Campbell River Indian Band, which includes animal control services.”
During the process of reviewing the new contracts, Wipper reported that it became apparent the City’s animal control bylaw was out of date. The report recommended a number of amendments.
The “robust enforcement” of barking dogs will allow the Animal Control Officer to fol-low up with the owner of a barking dog after receiving a complaint from one neighbour. Previously, the bylaw wording implied that there had to be more than one person to make a complaint and this was considered difficult to enforce.
The Animal Control Officer now has the ability to designate a dog “vicious”. A vicious dog is different from a dangerous dog. A dan-gerous dog is one who has killed or seriously
injured a person or domestic animal on prov-ate property or in a public place. The bylaw defines a vicous dog as one that has bitten or attacked without provocation, a person or domestic animal in a public place or on private property, a dog that in a menacing or terrorizing manner has approached a person in an apparent attitude of attack in a public place, and a dog with a known tendency or disposition to attack without provocation other domestic animals or humans.
The time required to keep a dog at the pound will be reduced from five days to three days. The report said that “almost all impound-ed dogs are picked up within one to two days. The majority of BC municipal animal control bylaws requires impounded dogs to be kept for three days prior to adoption. It is recommended that the City do the same.”
The impound fee of $7.50 per day and the $8 per day feeding fee will be combined intoone daily all inclusive maintenance fee of $15 per day. This does not include fines for dogs running at large and not being licenced, which increase each time the dog is impounded.
The bylaw received third reading and could be adopted in the next few weeks.

Site work to prepare for the new $266 million, 95-bed Campbell River Hospital will lead to some traffi c disruption around the existing Campbell River Hospital entrance on 2nd Avenue in the days ahead.
The work is related to construction of a new temporary Ambulance Access Route to the existing hospital Emergency Department entrance.
• The laneway between the two parking lots at the Campbell River Hospital entrance will be closed to traffi c from Monday August 26th to Wednesday August 28th to permit the installation of two manholes and piping, part of the perimeter drainage system for the new Ambulance Access Route.
• The brief laneway closure will require motorists to turn around and exit through the same entrance they’ve entered. During this period motorists will also be encouraged to enter and exit the western parking lot through the regular parking lot exit. Traffi c control fl ag persons will be on hand to assist.
The new temporary Ambulance Access Route is required because construction of the new hospital next year will block the present ambulance route to and from the present Emergency entrance. Please watch for additional temporary traffi c changes in the weeks to come.

Centennial Park from page 1.of some stepping stones, flowers and climbing rocks that are being put in the park. There are always so many kids on that playground, kids whose families don’t have transportation so they can’t go to the Sportsplex park to play, now in our inner city park, they are experiment-ing with the kids who need that play-ground most.
“I could go on forever about the utter stupidity of this new age thinking, and they are trying to make it sound so wonderful when in reality that is going to ruin that park. A little water feature, why? If you watch some rain trickling down you’ll enjoy nature more? Edible berries and flowers so the kids can see butterflies? Is that going to help these kids exercise?”
Ed Masters grew up not far from the park. “I have seen it changed and changed,” he said. “When it was going to be closed down years ago I helped to save it. We raised close to 10 grand to save the park and put that equip-ment there. It is time to step up and say enough is enough. Put new playground equipment in if needed and leave the park as is. If you don’t like it go some-where else. Save the money for other things instead of going and putting this town deeper in debt. There are other parks that need upgrading so put the stuff elsewhere.”
“Planning for the upgrades began with two focus groups, one was Grade 6 students from Phoenix School who are frequent users of the park and the other included stakeholders with special interests in the park and local childcare providers who specialize in children’s needs,” said Lynn Wark, the City’s parks project supervisor. “The concept of enhanced play space with the addition of a natural playscape was extremely well-received, especially by the students and childcare providers.”
“This play space is the kind of beautification Campbell River needs,” said Sharene Zemanek who supports the project. “Not just for the creative and imaginative exploration it will allow for children, but also for creating spaces that appeal on an aesthetic level to draw more visitors and give our city more unique attractions.
Zemanek said the plan is similar in style to the natural play space construct-ed in Whistler Village.
“It is a gorgeous design that will allow for an alternative play setting, in addition to the many traditional and typical playgrounds we already have throughout our city. Change always brings naysayers, however, I am sure once the play space is complete they will find that the children of Campbell River really enjoy it. I strongly urge any fam-ilies or citizens who can see the value in creating this beautified space to voice your support.”
Elicia Boutilier agrees. “Personally, I’m thrilled they are redoing this play-ground,” she said. “Parts of the current one keep getting removed or breaking anyways, time for something new and exciting.”
“Maybe all this opposition is because we as adults have lost the creative play side that children have more naturally,” said Angela Lamarche-Emery. “I showed my four year old son a picture of the wooden climber and he immediately said ‘mommy if I climb to the top of that I’ll be a giant like jack in the beanstalk.’”
Centennial Park upgrades will be funded through a combination of a Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF) grant worth $225,000 and $225,000 from the City’s Parks Parcel Tax.
Photo by Sian ThomsonParents, grandparents and kids gathered together on Saturday to Stand Up to the Teardown at Centennial Park. They do not feel there was adequate public consultation and want their concerns heard before the city goes ahead with a project to upgrade the existing practice court for multi-sport use and to enhance the play opportunities with a natural playscape.

John Young, recovering in hospital from broken bones and burns, recalled Sunday his frantic efforts to save himself, a fellow passenger and the pilot after the float plane they were on crashed and caught fire in a remote area near Tofino.
Six people were on board the Air Nootka float plane when it crashed Friday morning shortly after the pilot had picked up five hikers.
Two people, the pilot and a passenger, were killed. Young and another passenger suffered major injuries and two hikers were able to walk away.
Young, speaking from his Victoria hospital bed, said he was sitting beside the pilot of the de Havilland Beaver float plane when it hit trees shortly after takeoff.
“We had just started going over land when a tree loomed up in front of us, and it must have been the right wing that hit it,” he said. “[The pilot] said: ‘Mayday, we’re going down,’ and I still thought: ‘This can’t be happening.’ ”
Young, a high school teacher from Nanaimo, had been hiking Hesquiat Pensinula Provincial Park, and was being picked up along with fellow hikers to go to Gold River.
It was foggy and drizzling as the plane took off.
He said the pilot had announced the plane would go across to Barchester Bay and from there up the outside coast of Hesquiat Pensinsula then Nootka Sound because of the low cloud ceiling.
But the plane crashed 60 kilometres from Tofino.
Young suffered several broken ribs, a broken sternum, third-degree burns to his left shin and a broken clavicle.
He said the plane appeared to hit several trees during the crash.
“I was jammed in, with my full seatbelt on.
I couldn’t move. The guy behind me had been reaching for the emergency button, but then he stopped moving,” he said.
“Ten seconds after we hit the ground, there was a puff of flame in front of me. I couldn’t get the door open beside me ...
“I pulled and pulled and couldn’t get loose, then I stopped pulling and squirmed, and I got out of the plane.
“I could see that the pilot door swung open, so I started to crawl over there.”
Young got out of the plane and heard a woman screaming for help.
He went around the front of the plane and tried to pull her out. Unable to move her, he grabbed part of the plane and it came loose, enabling him to free her.
He then tried to free the pilot.“The flames were getting bigger and he was
on fire and it seemed like he died,” Young said.Young and the injured woman were able to
get away from the plane and huddled together for warmth, clearing brush out of the way.
The two other survivors, who had been seated at the back, located them shortly afterward. They were eventually picked up by a rescue helicopter.
The B.C. Coroners Service hasn’t yet released the names of the two people who died and Young said he wasn’t comfortable identifying them.
Transportation Safety Board investigators are hoping to get to the site today.
“Looks like the weather and all plans work-ing to get us there by tomorrow morning,” Bill Yearwood, manager of air investigations, said Sunday.
Young said he’s just happy to be alive. “I had an accident last year where I broke six ribs and slid off a 14-metre cliff,” he said. “I’m even luckier this time.”

Discovery Passage Aquarium hosted visitor number 10,000 in Campbell River.
That is very significant, especially when you consider that when the project was proposed to city council last year, DPSS projected 10,000 visitors per season.
“We are so pleased the Aquarium has cre-ated quite a buzz and attracted so many visitors to our downtown,” said Mark Wunsch, DPSS President. “In just two months, we have had as many visitors as we expected to come in a full four-month season. The responses that we have received have been ultimately positive and encourage us to keep building community around the aquarium. And for the remaining season we still have a few surprises to come.”
The strong admission numbers will help towards financial stability for the young non-profit society.
“As any public venue, we need to have funds on hand for running costs, maintenance and hir-ing core staff for the next season,” said Society Treasurer Iris Wunsch. “Income from admis-sions and our sponsorship programs will allow us to keep a balanced budget. If this support continues we will be able to keep subsidizing school visits and expand our programming.”
The recently acquired charitable status of the aquarium should make it especially interesting for supporters as they are able to receive tax receipts for their donations.
The Society recognized its sponsors at a Sponsor Appreciation night in July.
“For me, the most amazing learning experi-ence of this project was that this community has so many generous people willing to share their skills and assets to create a special place,” said DPSS director Sandra Milligan. “Businesses and residents provided all kinds of help to set-up the building including professional services, equip-ment, supplies, cash donations, and hundreds of volunteer hours. That community commitment continued after Opening Day with volunteers of all ages working with visitors at the Aquarium.”
“The visitors have been as varied as the crit-ters at the Aquarium,” said Aquarium Manager Deb Cowper. “Out of town visitors, like the Harrington family, come from across Canada and the US. Europeans visitors appear almost daily, and then we have our local families who have purchased season’s passes and visit some-times multiple times per week!”
The end of September will mark the end of the season and all the critters will be released back into the ocean.
“I just love the excitement of our visitors: the kids--and adults--are always enthralled with what they see and touch. For me, it is great to be learning so much and sharing that knowledge with everyone,” said Aquarium employee Kate Dixon.

The only refuge is in humility, an utterly convinced, completely self-effacing humility before the complexity of truth and the even greater complexity of human nature, in the solemn certainty that complete impartiality and complete honesty are beyond the power of man, no matter how he may strain for them. In this there is a measure of help towards the proper balance of head and heart and law that yields a fair decision. - Roderick Haig-Brown

Our View
By Les LeyneI hope you enjoyed the recent
B.C. Day long weekend, Vancouver Islanders, because it could be one of your last.
After we have been getting along quite comfortably for 147 years as a vital part of the province, not one but two separatist groups have sprung up to advance the idea that Vancouver Island should go it alone.
These people are to be viewed with suspicion.
On the eve of B.C. Day, I stand proudly for the garish flag, the ston-er reputation, subsidized bike paths and the sacred laid-back West Coast lifestyle (heavily supported by fed-eral pensions). In the face of these upstart separatist notions, it’s never been more important to follow the Island mantra: Leave things alone, we like them just the way they are.
It’s particularly dubious that there are two separate bunches of sep-aratists. If they can’t get together to agree on how to pull the province apart, how many breakaway groups will form to lead breakaways from the breakaways?
The Island could easily wind
up as a balkanized string of semi-autonomous communes if this goes anywhere. We’re well down that road as it is. The capital region already boasts 13 separate munici-palities.
The first out of the gate a few weeks ago was the Sovereign State of Vancouver Island movement. They got so exercised about a feder-al riding boundary change that splits the village of Cumberland down the middle they advanced their launch date.
The Nanaimo Daily News tracked them down in the midst of that argument. Two Conservative MPs objected to a boundary change that splits Courtenay down the mid-dle, so they offered an alternative that splits Cumberland, instead.
SSVI, which was already plan-ning to start an independence cam-paign, seized on the Cumberland solution and opened the campaign early. They cite federal “neglect, intransigence and oversight” and now want to bolt.
But if federal neglect were grounds for separation, everything west of Thunder Bay would have
seceded ages ago.Thankfully, the comments section
of that newspaper reflect some com-mon sense.
“These people need to put their tinfoil hats back on.”
“How could Vancouver Island be its own country? Your primary export is illegal.”
Another reader pointed out that half of Canada’s navy is floating in Esquimalt. That’s a good point to keep in mind. If things were to get ugly, it would take a lot more than sport-fishing boats and stand-up paddle boards to break away from Canada. Even if the submarines are useless.
The rival movement is somewhat milder, in that they only want to secede from B.C.
They have some hazy vision of Vancouver Island becoming a separ-ate province of Canada.
Laurie Gourlay of the Vancouver Island Province movement has a pretty website and two petitions so far with 106 signatures on them.
“It’s like reaching maturity,” he told me. “It’s the right time. You hit 21 and it’s time to leave home.
You’re not saying you hate your par-ents, you just think it’s time to man-age your own affairs.”
But anyone watching the sewage-treatment debates knows that we’re still a few years and about $800 mil-lion away from that frame of mind.
The outfit is working toward a referendum in a few years and wants to see Vancouver Island declared a province by 2021.
The website is full of poetic observations about self-sufficient Island life and interesting historical facts. It’s got everything except a solid reason for breaking away from B.C.
Because there isn’t one. The Salish Sea gives the Island all the geographic separation it needs. For political separation, all people need to do is look at the election results.
There are only two government members on the entire Island. And the nearest one is 160 kilometres away from the legislature. We’re already safely separated from the threat of the provincial government doing anything on the Island. We just don’t realize it.
Glacier News Service
Islanders yearn for independence
Campbell River has a dirty little secret.It can be found in abundance off the beaten path where
knuckle dragging morons creep in, dump their garbage, and slither out hoping not to be seen and going unpunished for their disgusting deed.
And we are not talking about a piece of paper here and there.
Refrigerators, torn couches, mattresses, metal bed frames, dirty diapers, glass, computers, and toilets do not belong in the forest, on Crown lands, in the woods, bushes, roadsides and waterways.
Household garbage and recylables are not good for wildlife. They can get their heads trapped in glass jars and metal cans when trying to lick out the contents. They can get mercury poisoning from batteries that are carelessly tossed out. The stuff these imbeciles are too lazy or too cheap to dump properly contaminates our streams, rivers, lakes, soil and groundwater.
It is graffiti in the forest. It is a giant “screw you” to all of us who find an appropriate way to dispose of our garbage. It is a slap in the face to “Shame the Logging Road Dumpers” who have taken it upon themselves, at the expense of their family and leisure time, to clean up after these ignorant people.
It needs to stop.If you spot someone illegally dumping, make sure to
record the date and time of the incident, a description of the person or persons responsible, the vehicle type, colour and licence plate, and what types of items are being discarded. Then call CR Bylaw Enforcement at 250-286-5776.
These people might think it is too expensive to take a load of garbage to the landfill, but the $2,000 fine for illegal dumping might give them the head shake they need.
Our dirtystinking secret

From our readers
I was disappointed that your article neglected to include the voices of parents who are in support of the playground - and there are just as many as those who dissent. The reporting seemed quite one sided.
This play space is the kind of beautification Campbell River needs - not just for the creative and imaginative exploration it will allow for children, but also for creating spaces that appeal on an aesthetic level to draw more visitors and give our city more unique attractions. It is similar in style to the natural play space constructed in Whistler Village - and that is not only beautiful but well used by all ages of children. It is a gorgeous design that will allow for an alternative play set-ting, in addition to the many traditional and typical
playgrounds we already have throughout our city. In response to the idea that those in support
are overprotective of their children and want to keep them bubble wrapped, this is far from true. My children have played on the playground as is - and I have never had any concerns regarding their safety. For me, this has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with beautification, creative stimulation for little people, and diversified play choices. Change always brings naysayers, however, I am sure once the play space is complete they will find that the children of Campbell River really enjoy it. I strongly urge any families or citizens who can see the value in creating this beautified space to voice your support.

8 CAMPBELL RIVER COURIER-ISLANDER NEWS/www.courierislander.com Wednesday, Aug. 21, 2013
By Sian Thomson
Campbell River Courier-Islander
It’s a dirty job and somebody doesn’t have to do it, but they do anyway.
In this case it is a group of volun-teers drawn together for a common cause. Last month that cause weighed in at 48,000 pounds.
“Shame the Logging Road Dumpers” started on social media via Facebook and the group now has 196 members. These men and women have taken on the exhaust-ive task of cleaning up the garbage being dumped on logging roads and other remote areas in our commun-ity. They bring in trucks, trailers, backhoes, man and womanpower to remove a breathtaking amount of ref-uge, including items like household
garbage, couches, box springs, appli-ances, yard waste, computers, roofing asphalt, deer carcasses, disposable diapers, old toilets, even bear paws and baby bear paws.
The areas covered to date include Gold River Main, Wei Wai Kai Logging Road, Duncan Main, Iron River Logging Road and another popular dumping area just a minute’s drive to the Campbell River Dump.
The group sometimes finds dis-carded mail, receipts, or bills in the household garbage strewn about, and displays it on their Facebook page, hence, shaming the dumpers.
Besides the cost of cleanup, illegal dumping also poses a threat to both the environment and public health and safety. Illegally-dumped hazard-ous material can seep into the ground and eventually into water sources or can go directly into streams and lakes.
Dumping sites can become breeding grounds for insects and rodents. Manypeople believe that because yard and garden clippings are biodegradable, there’s nothing wrong with dumping their trimmings in the bush. This is not so. Dumped yard waste smothers seedlings, carries plant disease, and causes nitrogen deficiencies in the soil that can kill native plants.
“We are a group of concerned cit-izens who have had enough, we have been cleaning up areas here in our town and hope to keep doing so,” saidTia Ladret and Patrick “Bud” Logan, spokespersons for the group. “All of us donate our time freely to complete projects like the Duncan Bay Logging Road and we need your support to do this.”
There are numerous costs associat-ed with these projects, costs like fuel, garbage bags, gloves and tools.
The group, who is currently exploring the possibility of formal-izing into a not-for-profit, is having a Fundraising Art Raffle with a draw date of Aug.29
“Vancouver Island is an incred-ibly beautiful Island and visitors from many areas come here to fish, hike, mountain climb or to just relax in the wilderness. But there is a grow-ing problem on the Island and that is trash, mounds of trash, truckloads of trash being dumped on our back roadsand it happens everyday,” said Logan and Ladret. “We have been cleaning these illegal dumpsites but we need your help so we have put together this raffle to raise funds to help us in our ongoing clean up efforts.”

It’s the variety of products that fi rst catches your attention. A greenhouse full of hanging baskets and bright fl owers, pottery and Buddha statues, fresh produce from the Island and the Okanagan, framed art work, wall clocks, rugs, mirrors – for the fi rst-time customer it takes a few seconds to realize that this isn’t your typical store. Yet the Willows Market husband and wife team of Cleon and Charlotte had originally planned to set up shop further down Island in Nanaimo – fortunately for Campbell River, they couldn’t fi nd what they were looking for in the Harbour City. Little did they know that the perfect building was just up the road in Willow Point.Located at 2266 South Island Hwy, the self-proclaimed “Willow Pointers” opened their doors back in 2002. That was the easy part; now they had to keep them open.“I expected the hours,” said Cleon. “We took one weekend off that fi rst year.” Before he could fi nish his sentence, Charlotte jumped in and added with a laugh, “I worried the whole weekend.”Now with four fulltime staff and up to eight employees at any one time, there’s less pressure to be at the store every day. But that’s exactly why they had worked so hard: better quality of life.“You want to work where you can support your family and lifestyle and even better if you have a job where you enjoy being there,” said Cleon. “We’re so fortunate because Campbell River is so awesome to live in, plus we work fi ve minutes from home and the kids are fi ve minutes from school.They also have a made-in-Campbell River hiring process. “We hire a lot of our customers,” said Charlotte. “They’re in here four or fi ve times a week so we already know them. We wanted a business where we enjoy being there and working with people who are our good friends. I think we accomplished that.”Any plans on opening another location?“No,” said Cleon very quickly. “We’re not interested in multiple stores. What we want is to be the place that when anybody brings people to town, they think of us as a destination – the place to bring family and friends.”

Recycling services will expand in Campbell River, with funding assistance from Multi-Material BC (MMBC) for the City’s curbside recycling collection program.
The new program, from Multi-Material BC comes into effect as part of provincial legislation requiring producers to take respon-sibility for residential printed paper and packaging by May 19, 2014.
Under the Environmental Management Act Recycling Regulation, producers must have stewardship programs in place for processing packaging and printed paper. To meet this requirement, MMBC, a non-profit organization working with producers, is offer-ing funding to assist with recycling programs for supervised depots and residential (including multi-
family) collection services. The program will result in
expanded material being accepted at the curb starting in May 2014. New items people can recycle in their blue boxes will include empty aerosol containers, spiral wound cans, plastic plant pots, hot and cold drink cups and more. Options for recycling Styrofoam and soft plastics at local recycling depots and a new opportunity for recyc-ling glass are also being investi-gated.
“We are very pleased about the expanded recycling services that will be available to our com-munity beginning next May,” says
Councillor Larry Samson, who holds the portfolio for the environ-ment. “Expanded services and financial assistance will provide a boost for our waste diversion goals.”
Based on the most up to date information from MMBC, the pro-gram may provide the City with up to $365,000 per year toward recyc-ling services, for public education and program administration. As well, contractors servicing multi-family buildings will be eligible to receive funding from MMBC ran-ging from $17 to $20/household/year to assist with the cost of basic recycling services.
Starting on January 1, 2015, all multi-family buildings in Campbell River will be required to have recycling programs in place.
“The MMBC program will help us all work together to divert even more waste from our land-fill,” adds Councillor Mary Storry, whose portfolio includes public works. “The significant funding from MMBC to help cover the costs of our recycling and waste diversion programs is a bonus to help us enhance our current efforts.”
Further information on the pro-gram is available at http://multim-aterialbc.ca/.

At some point in their lives, most Canadians have probably asked themselves whether it is better to buy or rent a home. And purchasing a home is one of the biggest decisions most people ever make.
Owning a home is considered to be a sound, long-term investment that can provide satisfaction and security for you and your family. Each month when you make your mortgage
payment, you are building equity in your home. There is also a tax advantage. If your home is your principal residence, any profi t you make when you sell it is tax-free. As an owner, you can also decorate and improve your home any way you like.
If you do decide that home ownership is right for you, it’s important to choose a home you can afford. If you can’t afford to buy your dream home, purchasing a more
modest home can be a great place to start building equity that one day may allow you to buy the home of your dreams.
Given the current real estate market and low interest rates, now is an ideal time to look at entering into home ownership for the fi rst time. If you’re thinking of buying your first home, I can answer all of your mortgage-related questions and help walk you through the process step by step.

Words have the ability to shake, change and reshape your view of the world. The delivery of them can be just as important as does the con-tent. Spoken word poetry (or Slam Poetry) is a means of exploring the use of speech, rhythm and performance art to convey concepts as serious as sexual exploitation to as light and humorous as an awkward first kiss.
The 2 Dope Boys have a particular grace when it comes to working the balance between Kleenex worthy moments and utter hilarity. At the end of August, Campbell River will have the opportunity to experience a performance first hand.
The duo comprises of Johnny MacRae, the 2010 Vancouver Grand Slam champion and a two-time Canadian Individual Poetry Slam final-
ist. MacRae boasts as having been crowned “one of the weirdest poets in Canada,” and named the 2013 Victoria Spoken Word Festival Poet of Honour. The other ‘dope’, shayne avec i grec, a member of the inaugural Victoria Slam Poetry team 2005, has almost a decade of experience captivating audiences. As a staple performer in many of the summer festivals, shayne avec i grec has shared the stage with the likes of Buffy St. Marie, C. R. Avery and Shayne Koyczan to name a few.
Shot in the Dark will serve as the venue for this rambunctious duo on Tuesday, Aug. 27 at 7 p.m. This is a free event co-hosted by the John Howard Society and Campbell River Arts Council.

Home improvement projectsperfect for fall
Home improvement projects can add value to a home and do-it-yourselfers know the sweat-equity that goes into such projects can give homeowners a greater sense of pride in their homes. But no two home improvement projects are the same, and homeowners should know that certain projects are best tackled during certain times of the year.
Fall is a great season to work on your house, as the weather is often at its most agreeable once the summer heat has gone and before winter weather arrives. The following are a handful of fall-friendly home improvement projects for homeowners looking to improve their homes.
Roof repair
Whether you’re repairing or replacing the roof, fall is a great time of year to dust off the ladder and get some work done on your roof for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, fall is ideal for roof work because you won’t have to be up on the roof with the summer heat bearing down on you. This can make the project move along more quickly, which is especially benefi cial if you are paying laborers to work on the roof. The fewer hours workers are fi xing your roof, the less you will be paying in labor costs.
In addition, fi xing up the roof in the fall ensures those winter storms, be it rain or snow, won’t fi nd their way into your home via leaks. A leaky roof in winter is hard to fi x, as the roof surface could be treacherous in the winter and winter winds can make it dangerous to be up on the roof at all. Addressing leaks in the fall can prevent damage to your home’s interior, which can mount up if a leaky roof is not addressed until the following spring.
Window work
When the weather outside gets frightful, poorly insulated windows can allow cold air into the home. That often has a trickle-down effect on fi nances, forcing you to turn up the thermostat in an attempt to offset the cold air pouring into the home. Whether you need your windows replaced or simply need to patch up any leaks, a proactive approach to leaky or older windows in the fall can save you from unnecessarily high heating bills come the winter. Addressing leaky windows also makes a home more comfortable for its inhabitants.
Fall is the ideal time to address a home’s windows because the temperature outside tends to be pleasant. This means you likely won’t have to make much of an effort to offset the elements, and open windows in the fall won’t make your home’s interior very hot or cold like they might if you were to tackle the project during the summer or winter.
Fixing the fl oors
Wood fl ooring is a hot commodity for many homeowners. But not all fl ooring can be added to a home at any time of year. That’s because certain types of fl ooring employ adhesives that need temperatures inside the home to be within a certain range, and that range is often within 70o to 80o F, which makes fall a great time to install such fl oors. Colder temperatures can make it diffi cult for the fl ooring to dry and bond, which will prove problematic down the road. What’s more, many people entertain friends and family come late fall and into the holiday season, and it can be diffi cult to do so if you are busy installing new fl ooring.
Painting projects
Painting is another home improvement project that seems tailor-made for fall. A fresh coat of paint or a new color scheme around the house can give a home an entirely new look and feel. But paint can be pungent and the aromas may last if it’s applied at a time of year when it can’t dry while the windows are wide open. Paint fumes inside a home can make the home uninhabitable, but painting at a time of year like the fall, when you can keep the windows open during and after the project, can help air the home out.
But interior painting isn’t the only painting project homeowners can tackle in the fall. Many exterior paints are temperature-sensitive and need the temperature outside to be above 40o F. Paint that freezes won’t dry properly, and homeowners might be left with a costly and unsightly mistake on their hands. Fall temperatures tend to be amenable to both interior and exterior painting projects, just be sure to check the weather forecast before making your fi rst brush stroke.
Fall is an ideal time of year to tackle home painting projects.

The love of the open road and a generosity of spirit will bring Vancouver Island motorcycle enthusi-asts together on Saturday, Aug. 24.
Riders will come together for the Second Annual Rotary Ride for Jeneece that winds its way along the beautiful roads from Courtenay to Gold River - and you are invited to come along for the ride. This year organizers expect more than 100 bikes to take the tour.
Participant check in begins at 9:30 a.m. at Weavers Leather on Cliffe Avenue and riders take to the road at 10:30. Along the route there will be a stop at the Quinsam Hotel in Campbell River and another rest station at the Elk Portal before arriving at Pipers on the Ridge Pub in Gold River.
Riders will arrive to a festive atmosphere that includes door prizes, a silent auction and entertainment
provided by Comox Valley’s own Boondocks.
Net proceeds from this event will be donated to Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island and will be directed toward the operation of Jeneece Place. Jeneece Place is located only steps away from Victoria General Hospital and it provides a home away from home for families who travel to Victoria for their child’s medical care. The house opened its doors to guests on Jan. 23, 2012 and since that date it has been full to cap-acity almost every night with families from all over Vancouver Island.
For more information about the Rotary Ride for Jeneece call Brian Shaw at 250-287-8807 or Google “Ride for Jeneece” Anita Brassard Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island at [email protected] or phone 250-702-6131.

BC Ambulance Service (BCAS) paramedics will welcome the commun-ity to their new ambulance station on Quadra Island at an Open House event on Sunday.
“Paramedics on Quadra Island have been providing exceptional pre-hospi-tal care for local residents for almost 30 years,” said Health Minister Terry Lake. “I’m pleased that the new ambu-lance station provides ample space for
paramedics to undertake training to upgrade and maintain their skills and recharge between calls.”
The ambulance station was previ-ously co-located with the local fire department before moving into its new home last year. The station consists of a 1,400 square foot modular structure which serves as the crew quarters and a 1,100 square foot Quonset hut vehicle bay which is one of only two
in the province. Quonset huts are fabri-cated, temperature-controlled buildings that can be easily assembled on site.
“Sometimes our crews feel emo-tional after a call,” said BCAS Quadra Island Unit Chief Dawn Ross. “So hav-ing a safe and private place to debrief and speak openly about how they are feeling before they head back home to their families is really important to their well-being and overall job per-
formance.” The new crew quarters includes a
kitchen, an office, bathrooms, storage space and a training area. The temper-ature-controlled vehicle bay also has a storage area and a sink which makes it easier for paramedics to restock and clean the ambulance as well as respond to calls quicker in the colder months. “This is like a second home for us,” said Ross of the station that employs
13 part-time paramedics. “We love having a place to call our own where we can focus on providing high-quality emergency medical care for our com-munity.”
Quadra Island is home to approxi-mately 2,500 residents. Last year, BCAS paramedics responded to 220 calls on Quadra Island, 127 of which required an emergency lights and siren response.

I do a fair amount of life insurance in my practice. Some of it’s designed for estate protection, some for busi-ness entities, some for dealing with blended marriages and the like. However, the majority is to provide income
support to a spouse and chil-dren in the event of premature death.
The majority are the 50 and 60 somethings with multiple policies and differing cover-ages. Each policy made sense when they bought it but over time it kind of morphed into something unmanageable and increasingly expensive. With a little digging and fact finding they almost always leave with something better and more
economical.It’s often an event that produces the awareness of a
need. Sometimes it is the purchase of a home or the death of someone close. You may have also just got a renewal notice and went, “it’s time to check out alternatives.”
I’ll add a couple of more. Getting married and hav-ing kids. If you are not responsible for your spouse and kids if something happens to you then who is? There are three broad types of life insurance coverage. Many have coverage through work (usually group life) and then there are also the creditor life insurance policies (mortgage cancellation insurance) for buying homes and cars. If you have an agent you likely have term life, whole life or a universal life policy. I’ve had group life, always declined creditor insurance and currently own just term. Provided a need, term is usually your best option.
The primary benefits of term life are; 1) you own your own policy and determine your beneficiaries; 2) It’s portable 3) it’s convertible and 4) It’s underwritten at the time of application. If you just glossed over the benefits, consider the following. Your policy follows you when you change jobs, careers or move. It follows you through mar-riage breakdowns and is not cancellable by the insurer. It is independent of changes to your health and the rates quoted are guaranteed through the term. Further, you can convert to another form of insurance without evidence of insurability or cancel at anytime. In addition, it’s often cheaper.
The drawback? You have to make application and often complete a medical. This keeps rates affordable and your beneficiaries can’t be denied a payout based upon a technicality with the exclusion of suicide (two years) or fraud.
A better option? Can’t think of one.

HARRIS NISSAN 2700 North Island Hwy, Campbell River, BC Tel: (250) 287-7272 www.harris.nissan.ca
The Tara School of Irish Dance will be performing this Saturday, Aug. 24 at the Spirit Square at the All the World Lives Here. This event is scheduled to take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Various local performers will be on stage showcasing cultural arts including Afro-Arabic Rhythm Experience, the Filipino Association, Taoist Tai Chi Society, belly dancers, fiddling, Chinese Qigong and Polish folk songs.
This free public event, organized by the Immigrant Welcome Centre of North Vancouver Island, is designed to give Campbell Riverites a glimpse at the cultures that make up our vibrant community.
“When people think of ‘immigrants’ or ‘newcomers’ they often envision people with English as an additional language. The top two source countries where Campbell River’s immi-grants are coming from are the U.K. and U.S. These immigrants are coming over with higher education levels than average Canadians,” said Rachel Blaney, Executive Director of the local Immigrant Welcome Centre. “Although our main focus is immigrants, it is important
to remember that we are on traditional First Nations territory, so when we say we are cele-brating the whole world living here, we want to make sure that everyone feels welcome to join because we really are celebrating everyone.”
Booth displays include: Uniglobe Travel, groups and individuals from Syria, Vietnam, Indonesia, Homalco, Japan and other places.
Enter to win a whale watching tour for two with Campbell River Whale & Bear Excursions by visiting the Facebook page for the ImmigrantWelcome Centre of North Vancouver Island. The winner will be drawn and announced on the event day.
The Immigrant Welcome Centre serves the Comox Valley, Campbell River and the North Island, providing services to immigrants to help them integrate and settle into Canada. Over 600 clients have been served in the past year, as immigration continues to bring innovative and skilled newcomers to the community.
For more information contact Shannon Briggs, Diversity Projects Coordinator at 250-830-0171 ext 810.

Howie Meeker Charity Golf Classic
Over $22,000 raised for CR Special Olympics
The 25th Anniversary of the Howie Meeker Special Olympics Golf Classic was a very special event, raising much needed funding which all stays in Campbell River for the yearly training and competition expenses of 119 athletes in 16 different summer and winter sports programs. Clockwise from top, host Howie Meeker relaxes with the athlete caddies prior to tee-off; Howie and Leah Meeker are acknowledged by the large din-ner/awards crowd at the Sportsplex – Howie turns 90 in November; one of the 30 fivesome teams mugs it up for the camera on hole No. 1 at Storey Creek Golf Club; the silent auction table sees a lot of bidders; local ath-lete and nominee for Canadian Special Olympics Male Athlete Of The Year, J.L. Hollywood, stirs the crowd with his speech, touching on what Special Olympics means to him and its impact on his life.

Three Campbell River seniors bowlers, Stella Nickel, Sheila Stormo and Shirley Focht, bowled over their North American opponents at two summer tournaments in July.
Nickel was among five fellow Campbell River Bowling Centre senior women’s bowlers who travelled to Reno to represent BC in their respective age categories to compete against representa-tives from each state and province for the USBC Seniors Championship. They earned the right to represent the province by competing in the BC Tenpin Federation Provincial Seniors Tournament held in Nanaimo in October of 2012.
While in Reno, Nickel, 81, hit the jackpot by bowling her way to the USBC Super Senior (80 and over) champion-ship. Nickel finished in first place in a six game qualifying round where the top six finishers then went into the playoff round. Nickel topped all her competitors and in the process claimed the $1,000 first place prize money, along with a crystal bowling pin.
“I never thought I’d win, it was quite a different feeling realizing I had won,” said Nickel.
Others from Campbell River represent-ing BC were Pamela Stevens age category 50-54, Wendy Hupka (55-59) Jacquie Abbott, (60-64) and Focht (65-69).
Meanwhile Storm and Focht teamed up to capture the International Senior Championship Tournament women’s 70-74 doubles title at the Cleveland hosted event at the end of July.
The two were high qualifiers in women’s doubles to reach the medal round and didn’t look back bringing home the gold medal. In finishing first Stormo and Focht beat out 41 other doubles teams.
“We were both surprised we won,” said Stormo. “There were a lot other teams there.”
Stormo wasn’t done there though. In singles competition after squeaking into the medal round in seventh spot out of only
eight qualifiers Stormo came from behind in the final game finishing with a 226 to win the gold medal.
In the mixed doubles event, out of eight teams that made it to the medal round, Focht and her partner from Hawaii, were just a few
pins short of a bronze medal placing fourth. Stormo and her partner from Tennessee also made it to the medal round placing fifth.
The International Senior Games are held every two years in the odd numbered years with qualifying being done in the even years.
The two Campbell River bowlers quali-fied in St. George Utah in October of 2012 winning silver medals in scratch division women’s doubles earning the right to com-pete in Cleveland.
Bowlers take North America by storm

The Storey Creek Ladies Club had a unique fun day of gold last Tuesday as they were joined by Storey’s Senior Men’s Club for a round of Cha Cha Cha (also known as 1-2-3).
Top spot went to the com-bined team of Gerry Gillis, Sandy Anderson, Dave Bedford and Brian O’Rourke. In the runner-up pos-
ition was the squad of Jack Adams, Bob Price, Dianne Livingstone and Julia Free. Third place went to Len Ammerlaan, John Swanson, Bev Ebert and Trish Piercy.
The round was highlighted by a couple of great scores from the ladies club. Topping play with a superb low gross of 80 was Free. While Geri Enquist recorded an impressive low net score of 61 (81 gross).
Second low gross went to Gillis,
Linda Hayes was third. Sandy Anderson had second low net, Sheila McCutcheon was third.
Thursday night was the popular Ladies Open/Guest Night and it was the team of Bernice Melissa, Danielle Melmock, Karen McInnes and Dorothy Ammerlaan placing first.
Just a reminder the last Ladies Open/Guest Night of the season will be Aug. 29 with a fun scramble, priz-es from Fifth Avenue Jewelry, RBC,
Chan Nowosad & Boates, Storey Creek and a great buffet. Call the pro shop to sign up either as an individ-ual, pairs or a team at 250-923-3673.
Sunday’s 18 holes was highlighted by another red hot round this time by Mary Jane Kerr who carded an 81. Runner-up was Deb Hutchinson.
Linda Rees and Donna Sauer tied for low net at 70 each. Next up was Liza Hadfield followed by Anderson.
This weekend is the Storey Creek Ladies Club championship.

“They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation,nor will they train forwar anymore.” Isaiah 2:4
Swords into Plowshares& Guns into Guitars
Pedro Reyes is a Mexican artist who turns guns into musical instruments, making everything from guitars to fl utes out of confi scated weapons. Since it is virtually impossible to legally purchase a fi rearm in Mexico, almost all of Mexico’s illegal weapons have come from “straw buyers” in the United States which are then smuggled into Mexico. Reyes puts the gun violence in Mexico into context by comparing it with the United States, noting that while the mass shootings which happen roughly once a month in the United States are a tragedy, they are a daily occurrence in Mexico. Indeed, at the height of the “drug wars” which continue to affl ict Mexico, Ciudad Juarez (a city of roughly 1.3 million people) was averaging about 10 gun deaths per day. Reyes came to prominence for a project in 2008 in which he melted down over 1500 guns and made shovels from them, which were then used to plant trees. Perhaps the upshot of his work, and his art, is that we should be investing more in instruments of agriculture and music and less in instruments of death. – Christopher Simon

Five employees at the Campbell River branch of Royal Bank of Canada will be tackling the RBC Whistler Granfondo on Sept. 7.
Jeannie Applin, Marie Louise Mulder, Vicky Williams, Matt Bruining and Stephen Turple are ready to take on the 122 km event which takes them from downtown Vancouver to Whistler Village. The total elevation gain is 1,700m which is 100m more than climbing Mount Washington from sea level to the peak. The race is now in its fourth year. There are 7,000 riders with the fastest rider expected to finish in roughly 3 hours 15 minutes and the slowest in just over nine hours.
The Campbell River team members are not all experi-enced cyclists. Mulder and Bruining both come from the Netherlands where cycling is a way of life and have done this Granfondo several times before. Mulder fractured her elbow one month ago but is still determined to ride. Applin and Williams just started cycling in January.
“I started on an indoor trainer and then in April I started cycling on the road,” said Williams.
Turple comes from a strong mountain biking and tri-athlon back ground but is relatively new to road cycling.
So what makes this group of employees want to take on the 122 km ride? They are looking for a challenge. It is great for fitness and team work and Applin wants to increase awareness of the RBC Blue Water Project. RBC has committed to donate $50 million over five years to protect watersheds worldwide.
The riders expect to take from 5-7 hours to complete the ride and at the end will be looking forward to a hot shower, a leg massage, hugs from their families and a cold beer but not necessarily in that order.
Are you readyto Granfondo?

Qualicum Beach’s Darren Berrecloth returns to the Island with over 30 of the world’s best freer-ide mountain bikers for the annual Bearclaw Invitational Slopestyle. The popular event takes place at Mount Washington Alpine Resort Thursday to Saturday.
The sixth edition of the Bearclaw Invitational provides athletes with one of the last opportunities of the sea-son to accumulate points towards the number one ranking on the Freeride Mountain Bike (FMB) World Tour. Currently, Brett Rheeder of Canada is holding onto the top position with Sam Pilgrim of Great Britain and Martin Soderstrom of Sweden trailing close behind in second and third place respectively.
“The course this year features a significant increase in the size and setup of the dirt jumps,” explains Berrecloth. “I removed most of the wood and brought in more dirt. There’s also a new entry point into the course to give riders another option for dropping in.”
Riders will be competing for the biggest Bearclaw Invitational prize purse to date with $35,000 up for grabs on top of the FMB tour points. Pro qualifiers will be taking place Friday, Aug. 23, at 5 p.m. The Pro finals will be taking place on Saturday at 1 p.m.
In addition to the pros, Berrecloth is bringing back an amateur competi-tion for the up and comers who want to compete for a spot in the pro con-
test. Amateurs will get their chance to break in with the pros on Friday at 2 p.m.
Those vying for the top prize at the Bearclaw Invitational include
a who’s who of the FMB World Tour. This year’s rider list includes: Brandon Semenuk, Cam Zink, Sam Pilgrim, Martin Soderstrom, Anthony Messere, Mike Montgomery, Sam
Reynolds, Thomas Genon, Cam McCaul, Yannick Granieri, Greg Watts, Kurt Sorge, Darren Berrecloth, Kelly McGarry, Geoff Gullevich, Mitch Chubey, Antoine Bizet,
Szymon Godziek, Tyler McCaul, Peter Henke, Brett Rheeder, Andrew Taylor, Tomas Zejda, Jakub Vencl, Graham Agassiz, Andreu Lacondeguy,Kyle Strait, Jack Fogelquist, Jamie Goldman, Jordie Lunn, Justin Wyper, Leo Delfour-Barsacq, Paul Genovese, Sam Dueck, Teo Gustavson and Ryan Howard.
For the uninitiated, Slopestyle mountain biking is considered the cutting edge of the sport of mountain biking. Progression and raw talent are on full display as riders take to the air and pull off tricks that simply blow the mind. The best part about the Bearclaw Invitational Slopestyle - it’s free for all spectators!
For more information and to check out the full event schedule, head to bearclawinvitational.com.
Rounding out the weekend of mountain biking is the BC Cup Downhill Race. The race brings com-petitors back to Mount Washington’s legendary Monster Mile downhill track, one of the most popular on the BC Cup circuit.
The race is open to everybody from Pro/Elite to those seeking to have fun in the citizen racing cat-egories, and everything in between! Racers can start as young as 10 years of age.
Training runs begin in the evening on Friday and official racing starts at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday. Registration, race schedule and the course map can all be found on the event site at mountwashington.ca.

Eleven beautiful Big Rig Trucks graced Saratoga Speedway on Saturday, along with a full field of 24 Hornet cars for an action packed night of racing.
Heath Farmer out of Parksville set a Big Rig new track record of 23.720 seconds in his 1990 International, which was the first new track record of the 2013 season. Ten laps were given to their only race, with Farmer dominating that as well.
A soaked track also made for an amazing Crash to Pass Boat Race, with the win going to #40 Cam Edward, who outlasted eight other cars to win his first ever boat race.
The full field of Hornet cars hit the track Saturday. Three heats were given with the C event going to #05 Trevor Cannon, the B to #53 Dave Dawes, and the A to #01 Kevin Lawrenuk.
A 25 lap B main event saw #24 Karl Kurpeila take the lead and hold that for the majority of the race, until #81 Jeremy Stormo found his way around Karl on lap 21 and he wouldn’t look back from there, tak-ing his sixth main event win of the year and closing the gap between him and points leader #12 Raymond Fortier, who had to withdraw early due to mechanical issues.
Twenty laps were given to a seven car A main event; #03 Jennifer Lawrenuk held the lead for 18 laps, but a hard charging #14 Kyle Fallowfield would find his way around Lawrenuk and he wouldn’t look back from there, taking his sec-ond main event win of the year.
Eleven Crash to Pass cars banged each other around on Saturday. A rare dash race was given to the Crash to Pass cars, with #66 Billy Brimacombe Jr. taking the win. One 12 lap heat was given, with the even-tual win going #01 “The General” Jeff May.
Twenty laps were given to their main event; #73 Sheldon Hopp held the lead for the first 18 laps, until a restart saw him spin out, opening the door for #40 Cam Edward to take the lead and the eventual win, with Hopp finishing second.
A season high seven Roadrunners also took to the track on Saturday;
#73 Ted Dimitrov, who was filling in for regular driver MacLaren Inglis, took the 10 lap heat race. Dimitrov carried that momentum into the 15 lap main event, taking the lead on lap one and not looking back from there, taking a clean sweep.
#16 Brad Kennedy once again took a clean sweep in the Figure 8
class, winning the eight lap heat and winning the 10 lap main event.
Extra laps...The fastest cars on Vancouver Island will make their third appearance of the year this weekend. The Wilroc Lites aver-age times of 13-15 seconds a lap, making them almost a full second faster than the closest class. The
championship for the Motorcycles will also be on the card for the weekend, accompanied by the I.M.C.A Modifieds, Bomber cars and the Island Mini Stocks, who will be making their second appearance of the year at Saratoga, which will all be sponsored by Brian McLean Chevrolet.

Storey Creek Men’s Club play from Wednesday, just like the weather in July, keeps getting hotter and hot-ter.
This week’s hot hand was held by Eddie Belrose who topped the field with a three under par 33. On the high side the win went to Don Hincks wins with a 39. The high side net win went to Bill Rogers with a 32.
Duane Ladoucer took away low net on the low side with a superb 31.
A&W Restaurants won the team game, serving up the win were Jon Walker, Richard Cronk, Pete McLoughlin and Kris Bauchman. Coast Discovery Inn came in second for the second week in a row and No. 1 Autobody came in third.
Andy Little did a lot by com-ing away with the Coast Discovery Inn KP on No. 7. No surprise here, Belrose won the Chinook Scaffolding long drive on No. 8, while Ray Dagenais did the same by winning the Coastal Eyecare long drive No. 4. Chris Gordon came away with the Coastal Mountain Fuels Explosion highly prestigious award.

The ElectroRecycle Ambassadors are hitting the road again this year with a mission to encourage more British Columbians to recycle their small household appliances and power tools. The Ambassadors were in Campbell River where they met with Amber Zirnhelt, Sustainability Manager for the City of Campbell River, and attend the Campbell River
Salmon Festival. To date, Campbell River residents have collected more than 20,870 kg of electrical products.
The ElectroRecycle summer Ambassador program will continue until Aug. 30 and will see six stu-dents travel across BC to raise aware-ness and educate communities about ElectroRecycle, the not-for-profit province-wide recycling program for
small appliances and other household electrical products.
ElectroRecycle provides an environmentally friendly alternative for a variety of electrical products such as toasters, blenders, irons, sewing machines and electric tooth-brushes that would otherwise end up in landfills. There are more than 135 drop-off locations throughout
BC, providing an accessible and convenient recycling option for British Columbians. The location in Campbell River is the Campbell River Bottle Depot at 1580-F Willow Street.
To find out more about ElectroRecycle and where to recycle your small appliances and power tools, visit electrorecycle.ca.
