City residents have until Sept. 23 to file their objec-tion to two borrowing bylaws that would allow the city to borrow up to $15 million for badly needed water and sewer upgrades and replacements.

City council voted for what is called the alternative approval process. If 10 per cent of 24,011 voters file an objection to the city by Sept. 23, then the matter will be taken to referendum.

The bylaws don’t necessarily mean the city will borrow the money. It authorizes them to do so as the needed projects come on line.

It is also vital, says the city, that it has that author-ity so it can act quickly to take advantage of matching grant money that can come up from higher levels of government and which sometimes have short timelines to apply.

“This bylaw doesn’t mean that we’re borrowing any money, it means we have the authority to borrow on each individual project which will come back to council for further approval and actual borrowing,” said Councillor Claire Moglove.

“One thing that has been identified as the num-ber one priority for Campbell River is infrastructure redevelopment,” said Councillor Andy Adams who holds council’s financial portfolio.

The Campbell River Art Gallery has just opened two new exhibitions, Inspiration by Calgary artist, Jeremy Fokkens, right, and Around Home by Saskatchewan artist, Karlie King. Both of these exhibitions are on display until Sept. 13. Fokkens’ photo-graphs focus on human subjects and the natural aesthetics of the body and its sur roundings. King’s display is a combination of two bodies of ceramic work, Buttons, Baking and the Back Yard and Gatherings.

Continued from page 1.“This is a burning issue all across the coun-

try. In our plans we’ve identified that sewer and water and roads are important and this is putting a funding mechanism in place to be able to take advantage of opportunities when it is the best time to do that construction and also have the money in place to seeking matching grant monies should they be available.”

Mayor Walter Jakeway voted against the approval process for two reasons.

“I don’t agree we need the money, I believe we need to get our costs in the city under con-trol first. And I don’t agree with the alternate approval process, I don’t believe it’s demo-cratic.”

“The Loan Authorization is like a pre-approved line of credit that enables the City to move forward with planning for projects that will be brought before Council for approval

– with the additional advantage of being in a better position to act quickly on federal and provincial matching funding initiatives, and provides for proactive long-range planning,” Adams says.

He points out that past and current projects such as the 19A Highway improvements and the St. Ann’s block infrastructure improve-ments would not have been possible without pre-approval.

“Council has done an excellent job in lowering the City’s debt ratio and will continue to be prudent in ensuring that infrastructure projects proceed in a timely manner while maintaining minimal debt,” Adams concludes.

Under the Community Charter, elector assent for infrastructure replacement loans can be obtained by either a referendum or alternate approval process.

The storage container wars in Campbell River is being taken to the streets.

City council voted Tuesday night to take proposed container rules to its commission level and to seek more input from the public.

Councillor Andy Adams agreed council received great input from local businesses dur-ing a council meeting three weeks ago, but said he wants to make sure everyone is heard

before a final decision is made.He said the Land Use Planning Department

of the city should also be involved so that it can engage the public and businesses in meet-ings and possible open houses.

The container wars involve the use of stor-age containers at various business and private locations. Some believe more controls are needed because the containers are sometimes unsightly and not used for their intended pur-poses.

Five Campbell River residents including one juvenile found themselves in hot water after they were identified as the vandals who targeted the new Splash Park with graffiti and broke a bench almost as soon as the popular attraction was opened.

“The community in general was greatly annoyed at these events with many people taking to social media and local newspapers to voice their displeasure at the actions of those involved,” said Troy Beauregard, Staff Sgt. and Operations Commander of the Campbell River RCMP.

“The Campbell River RCMP com-menced an investigation which was headed up by the Community Response Unit (CRU). Aided by tips from the public and surveillance video from a number of sources the investigators soon had those involved in the damage to the bench identi-fied and interviewed each of them at the Campbell River detachment.

“These youth readily admitted their fault and had no previous negative inter-actions with police. The accounting of the incident led police to believe that their intentions were not malicious, however stemmed instead from an ill fated idea.”

The RCMP decided to divert the youths from the court system, utilize the Restorative Justice Program and hold a Community Justice Forum.

Restorative Justice focuses on offender accountability, problem solving and cre-ating an equal voice for the victims as well as the offenders. The philosophy of Restorative Justice is one of community healing, the community decides what is best for itself to resolve certain criminal matters.

“A Community Justice Forum (CJF) is a safe controlled environ-ment where offenders, victims and their families or supporters are brought together under the guid-ance of a trained facilitator,” said Kristine Atkinson, the Campbell River Restorative Justice Program Coordinator.

In this instance Atkinson was the forum facilitator and community rep-resentatives were from Rotary, The City of Campbell River, Kinsmen

and the RCMP. In the CJF the offence was discussed as well as how all parties were affected and a joint plan was developed to correct what occurred.

The offenders all came prepared with money for restitution for the damage, apol-ogy letters and agreed to community ser-vice to repair the harm their actions caused the community.

“We realized this is a big thing, and that we affected a lot of people in a negative way,” the offenders wrote in an open letter to the community. “In the end we all came forward to confess the events of that even-ing through a group decision and would

like to take the time to apologize for our mistake and would like to acknowledge the RCMP for providing us with this very kind alternate decision of repaying the City of Campbell River, Daybreak Rotary Club and the Kinsmen back, and for giving us the opportunity to apologize here today and express our feelings.”

Cindy May Morgan isn’t playing around when it comes to the new playscape planned for Centennial Park this summer.

She has created a Facebook event called “Stand Up to the Tear Down, Centennial Park needs your voice.” Currently about 40 people have signed up to attend the rally being held on Saturday at noon at the park on Alder Street between 4th and 5th avenues.

Upgrades to Centennial Park later

this summer will provide a revamped multi-use court and a natural play-scape in the popular neighbourhood park.

Construction is expected to be completed by the end of November.

“The final design is a blend of elements from each of the concep-tual designs and public input,” says Lynn Wark, the city’s parks project supervisor. “Feedback from public consultation indicated a strong desire to keep the swings, retain all trees and protect the eagle tree, keep the tennis practice wall, develop a multi-sport

court in between the two tennis courts and increase accessibility, all of which will be done. The city is putting in climbing rocks; stepping stones; a small ‘water feature’; flowers, plants and a small amphitheatre. This will now be a ‘playscape’ rather than a playground.”

The city said that the design details were determined after exten-sive public consultation, including two focus groups: one with kids who use the park, and another with people who use the park for a variety of activities, including working with children.

Online and door-to-door surveys, a public open house and a neighbour-hood open house were other methods used to gather public feedback about potential changes.

“I feel very strongly that the pub-lic was not aware of this issue until very recently when I brought it to Facebook,” said Morgan. “You only have to see the amount of response to see that people simply did not know about this. It just seems like another example of the city doing what they want without asking the public. If you want people to know that their neigh-bourhood playground is being torn down then make much more effort to inform. This was not done, no matter what the press release says. Extensive public input? That is pure fabrication.”

Morgan says her main concern is that the natural playscape idea will not give the kids the exercise that they need.

“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.” she said. “The fea-tures in the playscape simply will not give them the proper physical activity, never mind the fact that they are hav-ing lots of fun.”

The recent press release stated that the plans are to keep the tennis practice wall and develop a multi-sport court in between the two tennis courts.

“We really do not need two tennis courts; this park should focus on the kids,” said Morgan. “The kids are not playing tennis.”

When looking at the comments on the Facebook event page, Morgan said it appears some are in favor of the teardown.

“It doesn’t really surprise me,” she said. “People are so overprotective of their kids these days and heaven forbid the child should fall off a slide. I am so glad I grew up when I did and raised my older children before things became so silly.”

• 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 revamp protest on Saturday

By Sian Thomson


The Campbell River Seniors Society has requested that the City

of Campbell River allow it to use the space in city owned buildings rent free.

The Society is specifically target-ing rooms 2/3 and the kitchen of the Sportsplex and Room 1 of the Community Centre.

The Society is an autonomous group of over 600 members and previously rented space in the Campbell River Common but due to some failed negotiations with the landlord, moved out on June 1. They set up temporary quarters with reduced hours at the Radiant Life Community Church on Cypress Street near the fire hall.

The Society needs a minimum 8,500 square feet but Society Spokesperson Helen Whitaker said the ideal amount of space would be 12,000 square feet.

“We need a kitchen or something that can be converted into one,” she said. “We need a meeting room large enough to accommodate 150 to 200 people. We need a small office and a little bit of storage and a craft room and computer room.”

Courtenay and Comox each have a Seniors Centre with memberships of 800 and 2,200 members respect-ively.

“The decision to “leave no stone unturned” has come back to haunt us,” said Whitaker. “ We are not finding anything under any stones. We have explored the Sikh Temple, the Navy League Hall, the old Evergreen School building every industrial space in town over 8,000 square feet. We also looked at shar-ing space with Greenways Land Trust, and Campbell River Hospice Society.”

There has been no decision as of yet on the establishment of a Seniors Centre in partnership with the city.

Arguing that the SPCA shouldn’t move into the Maritime Heritage Centre because it doesn’t have a ‘maritime’ theme is wrong says Dr. Helen Kwong.

Kwong, a veterinarian and passion-ate advocate for bringing the SPCA back to Campbell River after Coastal Animal Control took over the contract for the City of Campbell River in April, also fired back at a letter published in the Courier-Islander Wednesday.

In his letter, Mr. Ostler said that the ‘ridiculous statements’ (wrongly attributed by Ostler to SPCA spokesperson Lorie Chornyk) saying it can generate $1 million a year, bring tourists to Campbell River and provide employment lacked credibility and he wanted the SPCA to show how they could generate this kind of return.

“I suggest you re-read the article that you are quoting, because I am the writer of the letter and not Lorie Chortyk,” said

Kwong. “I am a local veterinarian who has run a business in Campbell River for the last 18 years, so I do know my figures, but in case you need me to spell it out, so here goes.”

Kwong said that the CR SPCA sheltered 800 cats per year, an average cat eats about one cup of food per day, therefore 292,000 cups of food is consumed per year, an aver-age 10 lb. bag of food contains 100 cups, with an average price of $40 per bag, these cats would generate $116,800 in food alone in Campbell River, never mind the cost of litter, treats, toys and veterinary bills with an average per household spent yearly of at least $100, therefore, let’s add another $80,000.

“As for the 500 dogs, we can repeat this exercise ad nauseum, but suffice it to say

$260,714 in food purchased,” said Kwong. “ Add toys, leashes, dishes, treats, veterin-ary bills, we are looking at a minimum of $400,000. We are at $857,514.00 already. Add boarding fees, grooming fees, well we are well over a million dollars in direct servi-ces alone. As far as employment, Mr. Ostler scoffs at this. There were five employees that lost their jobs at the CR SPCA, veterinary employees, pet grooming salons, pet stores, boarding kennels, and any other retail outlet that remotely sells any pet related products or food.”

The SPCA saga continued at Tuesday’s City Council meeting when the Maritime Heritage Centre (MHC) presented a letter to council explaining their part in the on-again off-again tenancy of the SPCA at the MHC facility.

But despite the arguments pre-sented, Council passed a motion Tuesday night to have staff work with the SPCA to find a different site.

Councillor Claire Moglove said, “I believe that by virtue of the fact that no one made a rezoning motion and the fact that my motion, to have staff work with the SPCA to find a suitable location, passed, I think it is pretty clear that council unanimous-ly does not support the Maritime

Heritage Centre location for this purpose.”

Marv Everett, President of MHC Society said, on behalf of the Board of Directors, that the centre has 1,600 square feet of space that they have currently been trying to fill with a long term lease tenant for over a year. The available space has been very difficult to lease due to the current plethora of other avail-able lease properties in Campbell River.

“Recently the SPCA expressed an interest in leasing the MHC space to use as a pet education and adoption centre,” said Everett. “With some reservations and concerns we met with the Vancouver Island Regional Manager of the BC SPCA Graeme Wright and discussed concerns regarding noise, odour and zon-ing issues and to arrange to receive

references from other landlords of similar adoption centres. Those were all consistently positive.”

He said that the MHC board was in full support of the SPCA proposal which would provide much needed supplemental income to MHC. A draft lease was subsequently prepared with specific wording to address the issues of concern.

The draft lease requires rent in the amount of $1,300 a month not including hydro, telephone, heat and internet expenses. The lease would terminate if they did not immediate-ly remedy impacts such as offensive odors, disruptive noise and litter.

“The acceptance of the SPCA as an MHC tenant has nothing to do with the mandate of MHC and any concern of city managers to the contrary is clearly a misinterpreta-tion of our duty,” said Everett. “The

rental of meeting rooms and long term lease of other space is purely a business matter. For the past 10 years we have rented meeting rooms to all Campbell River residents and busi-nesses regardless of their focus as a much needed community service. We have had lease arrangements with many businesses and organizations that have nothing to do with ‘things maritime.’ Long terms tenants include Weight Watchers and CR Genealogy Society and other rental clients include BC Forest Service, BC Hydro, and Work Safe BC.”

Everett said that consideration of the BC SPCA as a tenant is com-pletely consistent with the business component of operating the MHC and renters will provide essential funds to allow MHC to meet its maritime edu-cational historic

and social activities.Everett said it is essential to the

ongoing operation of the MHC and the ongoing fulfillment of their operating mandate that they find a secure and reliable tenant for the vacant MHC space.

“The last tenant left us $16,000 in rental arrears and the financial hardship is further exacerbated by Council’s continued indifference and apathy to our numerous pleas over the past several years for a fair, non oppressive contract and return of approximately $47,000 currently held by the city,” he said. “The SPCA proposal does not create any MHC mandate conflict and council should expedite any zoning changes that may be required.”

City hall rejects MHC proposal for SPCA

Dr. Kwong spells out the numbers

“For ‘tis sport to have the engineerHoist with his own petar…”

Hamlet, Act III, Scene 4

Ah, yes. One of Shakespeare’s most repeated phrases. We all know what ‘hoisted by his own petard’ means.

It’s used in the sense of having something backfire, blow up in one’s face. That’s apt. A ‘petard’ was a kind of medieval land mine employed by soldiers to blow up gates and forti-fications. It comes from — and there’s no genteel way of saying this — the French word for fart.

Which brings us around to a famous French artist who, in the mid-nineteenth cen-tury, played to sold-out crowds in Paris. King Leopold of Belgium even sneaked in to catch a show, as did Edward, Prince of Wales and

Sigmund Freud.His name was Joseph Pujol, but

the public knew him by his stage name, Le Petomane, which translates as — again, euphemisms fail me — The Fartiste.

Monsieur Pujol’s musical instrument was located below decks and well to the aft, as it were. He carried it with him (as do we all) at all times. The differ-ence between Monsieur Pujol and the rest of us: he could play his instrument.

Like a flute. Literally.

As part of his per-formance Le Petomane

would ahh, attach himself, via a flex-ible tube, to an ocarina, a rather sim-ple wind instrument. He would then favour the audience with a variety of popular tunes, including, patriotically, La Marseillaisse.

All of this was delivered in a per-formance of exquisite taste. Nothing crude about Le Petomane.

He performed in a red cape and a tuxedo elegantly set off by an ivory-coloured cravat and white gloves. Any adjustments that had to be made (tubes, etc.) were done off stage, behind the cur-tains.

In addi-tion to musical numbers Le Petomane could produce the timid toot of a young adolescent girl and follow it with the thundering blast of a peasant farmer after a hearty dinner of feves au lard.

He could replicate cannon fire and thunderstorms.

He could blow out candles and

deliver a ‘farm tour’ — a running agricultural commentary punctuated by anal renditions of every animal in the barnyard from sonorous cows

through bleating sheep to clucking chickens. His piece de resistance: a blistering ten second glis-sando described as “the sound of a dressmaker ripping two metres of cal-ico cloth”.

Monsieur Pujol’s artistry made him a rich man. He bought a chateau, complete with servants. He had 10 chil-dren and died happy and wealthy at the age of 88.

If there was any jus-tice, Le Petomane’s tomb-

stone would bear another line from Shakespeare:

All’s well that ends well.Or perhaps from King Lear:Blow winds, and crack your

cheeks.

Our View

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

On Saturday, Aug. 10 my husband and I were picking blackberries on the ERT Road. We had just finished and I was emptying the small container of my berries into the bigger pot in the trunk of the car when I heard a thud.

My husband had fallen and had hit his head on the surface of the road. I ran over to him to help him up, when a vehicle drove in and two men got out to help.

Within a couple of seconds two women, both nurses, came by. They all helped and I would like to thank them all. My apologies,

I did not get any names.I took my husband to emergency. The

staff were efficient and caring. I didn’t get most of the names and for that too I apolo-gize. But Adam, the nurse, Colleen the lab technician are two of the names I did get and remember.

The young doctor was Saskatchewan’s loss and our gain.

A great big thank you to all of you who helped by husband. I was a little upset myself, worried about him.

What’s wrong with the word “retard”?As recently as the 1970s, the word was acceptable in med-

ical fields, even the Arbutus School for Retarded Children existed in Campbell River and was the start of something great, the Association of Community Living and Our Place.

People with intellectual disabilities say that the “R-word” makes them feel left out, different, bad, stupid, and despised. Words hurt.

John Franklin Stephens, a man from Virginia with Down Syndrome who serves as a “global messenger” for the Special Olympics has written op-ed articles giving lucid voice to thoughts you may never have heard before.

“The hardest thing about having an intellectual disability is the loneliness,” he once wrote in The Denver Post. “We are aware when all the rest of you stop and just look at us. We are aware when you look at us and just say, ‘uh huh,’ and then move on, talking to each other. You mean no harm, but you have no idea how alone we feel even when we are with you.”

“So, what’s wrong with ‘retard’?,” he asked. “I can only tell you what it means to me and people like me when we hear it. It means that the rest of you are excluding us from your group. We are something that is not like you and some-thing that none of you would ever want to be. We are some-thing outside the ‘in’ group. We are someone that is not your kind.”

Very bad words go beyond the boundaries of political correctness. There are words you cannot say ever. They are humanly incorrect. They are meant to harm. They break the heart and the spirit.

Language should be used to inspire, to welcome, to open doors for us, not to degrade, dehumanize, isolate and slam doors in our faces.

By changing one word you can change a life.

One word,one weapon

On Tuesday Aug. 6 I fell in my bachelor apartment and injured myself on my left knee and my right ankle.

When I arrived home from the hospital several people asked me what happened — obviously — because I was on crutches and I would obvi-ously be ‘confined’ to my home.

Of the 16 other residents who live in the apartment building two came to my door and asked if they could help and or did I need anything?

Thanks to Don P. who uses a cane and took my garbage out to the bin.

Thanks to EK who lives in a cot-tage for knocking on my door with a

nice gift of fruit and a great visit. I did manage to ‘hobble’ out to

the front door to get some fresh air on three occasions and folks asked me what happened and gave the usual ‘oh gosh’ etc. but nary a ‘do you need anything or can I get you anything?’

I have certainly learned a lot from this experience

The Laich-Kwil-Tach Treaty Society would like to send a bunkhouse full of roses and sincere apprecia-

tion and gratitude to the following: Campbell River Band, Cape Mudge Band, Kwiakah Band, Coast Fund, A-Tlegay Fisheries, Campbells’ Camp, Timberwest, New Relationship Trust , Murray Browne, Baseline, Interfor, Western Forest Products, Marine Harvest, Aeolis Wind Power, Samson’s Janitorial, Real Canadian Superstore, Mike Bendickson, and Sasamens Society who contributed so generously in kind and by monetary donation to our society to run three youth and elders culture and language camping trips this summer.

The funds raised and in-kind donations enabled the society to hold three summer camps at Campbells’ Camp that youth, elders and young adults from our communities were able to participate in. The focus of these camps was to teach the partici-pants the culture and language of our Laich-Kwil-Tach nations. Teaching, learning and practicing our Likwala language and culture is essential to carrying on our Likwala traditions for future generations. These camps are an important strategic stepping stone in the conservation of our Likwala language, culture and traditions. It is through these camps that we hope to perpetuate our culture and pass on the knowledge of our ways from the elders to the youth. Heartfelt grati-tude to our elders — June Johnson, Martina Walkus, James Quatell and to our youth assistant — Wamish Roberts. During these three one-week-long camps the elders and youth took part in traditional dancing, sing-ing, drumming, storytelling, weav-ing, barbequing salmon, medicinal plant harvesting, cedar bark stripping and learning our Likwala language. Having the youth and elders par-ticipate in these three camping trips would not have been possible without the generous donations and contribu-tions from these companies, individu-

als and organizations and for that the Laich-Kwil-Tach Treaty Society, the youth and the elders are so very thankful. Gilakasla!”

Grateful Passengers

A beautiful array of the most magnificently scented roses, for Carolyn Chalmers, the nutritional consultant at

the vitamin shop in the Commons Mall.

Her expertise and knowledge, along with her kindness, compassion, and a real desire to help people get better is such a breath of fresh air.

With her help, I have renewed energy, have lost weight, no longer have brain-fog, and I feel better than I have in many years!

A wonderful friend told me about this special lady, and I would like to encourage anyone, who would like a natural way to feel better, gain energy, lose weight and brain fog, to make an appointment with Carolyn. You’ll be glad you did.

A Very Appreciative Client

An apartment full of roses for all the people who have donated to our new residents in our new apartment building. Everything from dishes and blankets, to furniture and toasters.

Thanks to all of your generous dona-tions our new residents have been able to set up their apartments quite nicely. Without support this would not have been possible.

The Staff, Board and Residents of Rose Harbour

Truck loads of roses to the won-derful people at Target who have helped us make the opening of our new apartment such a great success. For everything you have done includ-ing helping us put our desks together, our board, staff and the residents thank you.

Rose Harbour

A picnic basket filled with roses to all the local businesses and community groups who showed support

for our recent foster parent BBQ, July 27.

Our heartfelt thanks go out to: Pioneer Home Hardware, Campbell River Honda, Canadian Tire, Campbell River Motocross Association, Dairy Queen, McDonalds, Redden Net, Foster Parent Support Services Society (FPSSS), Campbell River Boatland, and we can’t forget our foster fami-lies. Our foster families had a spec-tacular afternoon with all the children in care and their natural children, it was due, in large part, to the kind generosity of all of you! Thank you so much for all the support.

This time also gives the caregiver a break.”

Wharton would also like to be able to offer accommodation and supports for family members visiting the community when their loved one is in the hospital.

To manage this feat, they are turning to the community to make this happen.

They do not receive core funding and rely heavily on their own fund raising measures, grants, donations and membership fees to keep Hospice going. They also accept points from Quality Foods, Heriot Bay Tru Valu, Save On Foods, Canadian Tire money and bottle returns to the CR Bottle Depot.

“Death is not a comfortable subject for many people and some-times this uneasiness trickles down to the Campbell River Hospice

Society not being on the radar for donors,” said Wharton. “But we need a home, so we are getting all our ducks in a row and we need to raise aware-ness that this kind of support for end of life is really needed.”

“My whole heart for my whole life”

This is an interactive print newspaper

By Sian Thomson


Everybody dies, and the last good thing that may happen in our lives is a hospice volunteer.

Founded in 1986 and recipients of Non-Profit of the Year in Awards 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2011, Campbell River Hospice Society is under increased demand in our community for more counselling services for children and adults who are grieving, specific support for caregivers of terminally ill patients, a day program for pallia-tive clients, more group programs, and hospice beds.

But right now Hospice needs to find a place to hang their many hats, a place to call home.

Iona Wharton, Director of Programs and Services said they have to vacate the current rental premises by Oct. 31.

“So having to move has jump-started this endeavor to find a home,” said Wharton. “After 27 years of being renters the Society sees the potential in owning a place of our own, espe-cially given the current buyer’s market.”

The agency has been approved for a mort-gage and needs to raise the down payment of $100,000 and a further $100,000 to keep a hos-pice bed for one year.

“We need the house to be big enough to continue the programs we do offer and expand to allow us to do day programs for palliative patients and their caregivers,” said Wharton. “Nobody is really doing this in BC yet, other than Kamloops. When a patient is still well enough to be transported to our house, we would

While some people may be tempted to break fisheries regulations because of the abundance of salmon in local streams, they can also expect a visit from the authorities when they least expect it. Here an RCMP offi-cer checks a couple of anglers on the Campbell River recently. The offi-cer made her way down the shoreline from the logging bridge to almost the Haig-Brown House, not an easy go on the best of days. She checked and chatted with the many anglers and a representative of the Campbell River Steelhead and Cutthroat club remarked, “It’s good to see. We know they’re busy, but that kind of effort goes a long way to helping preserve our sport and our fisheries.”

Continued from page 14.A report published recently by

the Canadian Institute for Health Information shows that 45 per cent of terminal cancer patients still die in acute-care hospital beds, even though the vast majority would prefer to spend their final days in more intim-ate settings.

“Do you know that it costs $1,100 a day to pass away in a hospital as opposed to $250 a day in a pri-vate hospice bed?” said Wharton. “Nanaimo Hospice is just moving into their house. They had a $1.2 million fund raising goal and they met it but they don’t have beds. The Nanaimo Hospital has a 10-bed pal-liative care unit. Port Alberni has a house with five beds. Our dream is to have one bed.”

There are no designated pallia-tive care beds at the current or future hospital in Campbell River.

“We are not part of VIHA, we stand alone as a non-profit charitable organization,” said Wharton. “We do partner with VIHA all the time and send our volunteers up to the hospi-tal to do outreach on 3 North. We are always in negotiations with VIHA to try to get some funding, they say no but we work with them anyway.”

In 2012 Hospice served 1,226 people in our community. This is a combination of palliative care and group clients. With palliative care patients, Hospice volunteers stay with the person on their end of life journey through to the end and then with the family afterwards.

They provide one-on-one pal-liative and bereavement programs;

hospice hospital visiting teams; grief and loss counselling; support groups for widow and widowers, bereave-ment, and grief after suicide; relaxa-tion therapy; walking support group; life review programs; a resource lending library and the Sally Wellman Memorial Garden which is a beautiful memorial garden on the Rotary Seawalk.

They serve a diverse population of clients from children to the elder-ly, those who are palliative or in grieffrom losing a loved one, suicides, accidents/sudden deaths, terminal illness,

All of the programs are free. “It is a well-known fact by

those of us in this line of work that Hospice care costs half as much to provide as hospital care does, and of course if they can pass at home, there is even more savings,” said Wharton. “Although saving money isn’t part of our goal, it’s ultimately a positive that with its growing role in the mainstream healthcare system, Hospice care can greatly reduce costs while providing far better out-comes for families — comfort and peace of mind.

“We ask now that you help us make a better home for Hospice with room to expand and space for poten-tial residential hospice beds down the road. Any donation large or small is what it will take to make this hap-pen. Or you could donate a house and make our dreams come true.”

To donate, call 250-286-1121 or drop by their office at #104-301 Dogwood Street.

Join the Nature Conservancy of Canada and Greenways Land Trust at the Baikie Island Nature Reserve in a joint event to help remove Yellow Flag Iris (Iris pseudacorus) in the beautiful Campbell River

Estuary Aug. 27 at 9 a.m. They will be removing Yellow Flag Iris from the banks of Baikie Island to help the continued restoration efforts in the Nature Reserve.

Yellow Flag Iris has a pretty

flower and is widely planted in garden ponds. However, when it escapes into the natural environment it is a rapidly spreading invasive species that displaces native vegeta-tion, and reduces habitat needed for waterfowl and important fish species such as salmon that spawn in the Campbell River.

Bring a snack and enough water to stay hydrated throughout the mor-ning. It is recommended that you bring gloves and wear gumboots and wear a hat for sun protection. GLT will provide the equipment needed to remove Yellow Flag Iris with as little disturbance to the surrounding environment as possible.

Directions to Baikie Island: Take

the Inland Island Highway (Number 19) to Campbell River, that road turns into Tamarac Street which crosses over the bridge that spans the Campbell River then turns into the North Island Highway. Turn right onto Robinson Road just after the bridge, the Nature Reserve is located at the end of Robinson Road. There is a small parking lot located just before the barricaded bridge that leads to Baikie Island where they will meet.

For any questions please contact Cynthia Bendickson, Greenways at 250-287-3785 or Katy Fulton, Nature Conservancy of Canada’s BC Stewardship office at 250-479-3191 extension 248.

20 CAMPBELL RIVER COURIER-ISLANDER SPORTS/www.courierislander.com Friday, Aug. 16, 2013

Thank you to Lisa, who called the other day asking whether the Wednesday night running group runs in the

rain. Yes! I said. But how do you stay dry? You don’t!

For weeks, Campbell River runners have had to run in the very early morning, or in an air-conditioned gym to escape the intense heat. Now that the heat and sunshine have let up a bit, you may find yourself run-ning in the rain.

Here are a few tips for doing so:

* Wear a water-resistant shell over your normal run-

ning shirt. Or don’t even bother. With highs still hovering around 23 C, it’s still warm and very humid. You are like-ly going to be too warm if you wear anything waterproof.

* Make sure you’re wearing technical running socks. Most are quick to dry.

* Wear a hat with a brim to keep the rain off your face. * Use Body Glide wherever anything rubs, like arm-

pits, inner thighs and under the band of your sports bra. When you’re wet and sweaty, you’ll chafe more than usual.

* If you’re using electronics, make sure they are tucked away or in a case where they won’t get wet.

* While running, be extra careful with your footing. Roads and trails may be slippery, and standing water can hide potholes.

After the run, loosen the laces of your shoes, take out the insoles and let them dry. Some people insert crumpled up newspaper to help the shoes keep their shape. Do not put your shoes directly on a heater or vent, which could break down the integrity of the materials in the shoe. I even melted a shoe this way!

Finally, congratulate yourself. The hardest part of run-ning in the rain may be getting yourself out the door. But once you’re warmed up, you might really enjoy it.

The Campbell River Storm went on the offensive Tuesday. Offensive in the fact they have acquired some serious offence in the form of two Sicamous Eagles (KIJHL) players who have combined to rack up an impressive 200 points over the past two seasons.

The Storm announced Tuesday they have acquired 1993-born forwards Brendan DeVries and Brayden Taekema from Sicamous in exchange for forward Mikey Markland (1996) and future considera-tions.

Both players were at the Storm’s Main Camp on the weekend. They bring not only a hockey bag brimming full of offence, but some always needed size up front. DeVries is 6’2” 175 lbs, while Taekema measures in at 6’3” 190 lb.

You can only guess at the smile on Storm head coach Lee Stone’s face when the deal was done.

“Any day you can add two

players who have combined for over 200 Junior B points in the last two seasons to your lineup is a good day,” said Stone, who is also the Storm’s Director of Hockey Operations. “More importantly both players are thrilled to be in Storm jerseys and are anxious to bring back a contending team on and off the ice to the city.”

DeVries, 18, played the last two seasons with the Eagles. In both years he not only led the Eagles in scoring, but also finished in the top 10 in KIJHL this past season. DeVries num-bers over the past two years

speak for themselves as to the offensive talent he is. He rolled up 112 points (47 goals, 65 assists) in 104 games. He has also added 28 points (16 goals, 12 assists) in 28 playoff games.

“I’m very excited about join-ing the Storm for my 20 year old season. I know that I am joining a great organization and I’m going to do everything I can to help this team win,” said DeVries.

Taekema also played the last two seasons for the Eagles. He is known to have an impressive release and a tendency to step up in big games. Last season he

produced 39 points (15 goals, 24 assists) in 49 games, as well as contributing 19 points (11 goals, 8 assists) in 24 playoff games.

“I am very excited to join a coaching staff and organization that is looking to win it all this year. We look as though we will be solid game in and game out and will look to improve right into playoffs,” said Taekema.

The Storm would like to thank Mikey Markland for all his contributions to the organ-ization on and off the ice. He was an excellent 16 year old hockey player for the Storm last season and will be put in a great development situation with Sicamous Eagles head coach Blair Robinson.

In DeVries and Taekema, the Storm acquire two players that know each other well. They have played on the same team since their first year of Atom in their hometown of Smithers. Both players are proven playoff performers helping Sicamous win playoff rounds over the past two seasons.

It was a memorable summer personally for Cam Levins, who got married on Canada Day in Victoria at St. Ann’s Academy.

But it was highly forgettable on the track.The runner from Black Creek, who will be

among the big Canadian and Island hopes at the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics, dropped out of Tuesday’s 5,000 metres at the 2013 IAAF world track and field championships in Moscow after his disappointing 14th-place finish in the

10,000 metres Saturday.“It was a big transition year for me and a lot

of things changed,” said Levins by phone from Moscow. “I got married and also had breathing and health issues that affected me. The training was not there.”

Little known coming out of G.P. Vanier Secondary in Courtenay, Levins only got a U.S. NCAA offer after scouring the Internet. He seemed to come out of nowhere last year with

File photoBlack Creek’s Cam Levins.

Health issues force Levinsto drop out of 2013 Worlds

Southern Utah to sweep the 2012 NCAA titles in the 5,000 and 10,000 metres before making the finals in both those events at the London Olympics.

“I didn’t feel overbearing pressure to have another campaign this year like I did last year,” said Levins. “I just want to continue to move in the right direction. But sometimes you have off years.”

Now training under the former great runner Alberto Salazar, he doesn’t plan on having any more of those.

“The Commonwealth Games next year (in Glasgow) are going to be very competitive and another test to see where I’m at. Ideally, this all works up to where I’m in a pos-ition to be a medallist in Rio (2016 Summer Olympics).”

With this amazing streak of weather, we have been getting out on the road bikes a lot lately, but sometimes

don’t have much time. If you’rein the same boat, here is a great loop that won’t take all day.

I start on Jubilee Parkway and ride down toward the ocean, hang a left and ride all the way into town and through Campbellton on the old Island Highway. At the new Highway hang a left again and head up the hill and all the way back to Jubilee for a 30 km loop.

This is a great ride you can blast off in 60-90 minutes. It

gives you some easy riding along the ocean, a couple good hills to work up a sweat and there are big shoulders almost the entire way to keep you out of traffic.

This week’s Swicked Tip: Tire pressure – When road riding, the general consensus says pump ‘em up as hard as you can for higher speeds, usually around 120 PSI. This is great on perfect road surfaces, but last time I checked, we don’t have perfect roads. Every time you hit a pebble, a crack in the pavement, or any debris on the road, it bounces you up and back, causing more resistance to your forward momentum.

So, if you lower your tire pressure a bit to somewhere between 90 and 100 PSI, you will have a faster rolling bike and a more comfortable ride.

For the past 16 years Beau has been involved with the Special Olympics program in Campbell River. This past June, Beau was named Special Olympics — Campbell River Athlete of the Year. Beau participates in Floor Hockey (he has represented British Columbia at 3 National games), swimming, track, softball, basketball, club fi t and golf. Beau recently attended the Provincial games in Langley where he played a very important role on the Basketball team and came home sporting a bronze medal. Through Special Olympics, Beau has developed not only as an athlete, but into a very confi dent young man. He now owns and operates a very successful landscape business, “Wryghte Way Cuts”

What makes Beau an outstanding athlete is not just his amazing athletic abilities but it is his ability to encourage and teach his fellow athletes.Special Olympics is not just an athletic program, it is a way of life. It is a family! Beau is the big brother – he always takes time to encourage the younger or less skilled athletes. He takes the time to repeatedly show a fellow athlete a drill or play until they feel confi dent in doing it. He never leaves a practice without saying thank you to the coaches. He is the fi rst one to volunteer to help and is the last one to leave, making sure everything is done. What is most amazing is his quiet way of telling someone they did a great job and watching that person’s face light up because someone noticed.

In 1987 the Courier-Islander made a commitment as a sponsor for Special Olympics BC — Campbell River. It is because of their commitment, and sponsors like them, that Special Olympics is able to offer 16 programs to 119 athletes in our community. It is because of the sponsors of events like the Howie Meeker Charity Golf Classic that athletes, like Beau, are able to share their gifts and talents with other Special Olympic athletes.

Beau WRYGHTE, Special Olympic Athlete

Silver Partner / Courier–IslanderThe Courier–Islander has been serving Campbell River and area since 1945. It is our honour putting athletes’ faces to their stories and sharing it with the entire community. We have been a major sponsor of the Howie Meeker Special Olympics Golf Tournament since its inception 24 years ago and we pride ourselves on our commitment to the community and to giving back. Special Olympic athletes have also given back to the community. They represent Campbell River with the greatest of effort, skill, perseverance, good sportsmanship and diplomacy. Special Olympics Campbell River needn’t thank us for our major corporate sponsorship - we thank them for allowing us to be a part of something so vital, intrinsic and truly great.

Campbell River wrestler Ashley Osachuk came home with an individ-ual to 56 kg silver medal from the 2013 Canada Summer Games in Sherbrooke, QC. Osachuk pinned her semifinal opponent Tianna Kennett from Saskatchewan. In the gold medal match last Thursday, Osachuk fell 3-0 to Ontario’s Alison Julie Carrow. In the team event, Osachuk and her female BC teammates placed fourth. In the team competition Osachuk finished with a 4-1 record which placed her in the individual medal round. Overall, Osachuk, who was Team BC’s flag bearer for the Opening Ceremonies, said she had a great time and the experience was amazing, right from the opening ceremonies to competing and cheering on other BC athletes at different sports venues. The Games wrap up Saturday. At right, Osachuk is in control against Kennett during their individual semi-final. Inset, Osachuk on the podium with her silver medal.

It has been a golden summer for the Campbell River Special Olympic powerlifters of Teamdog.

It started on June 8 at Richmond when Tye Cranton won his first gold medal in his first competition. Dave Devison and Callum Maclagan also won gold at the Summer Open of the BC Powerlifting Association meet held at Richmond.

Months of hard work by the athletes paid off and coach Greg Ziolkowski was heavily involved in helping the athletes achieve their personal best.

“Greg really set the tone for us all at Richmond,” said local Special Olympics member George Maclagan. “Greg is amazing, demonstrating his maturity, knowledge and commitment to our athletes, keeping them calm and focussed during their training and competition. As much as physical training is required, mental preparation and focus wins gold and Greg was at

his very best this weekend. “He is a fine young man who at

15 is invaluable to the success of our athletes.”

Devison and Maclagan followed this victory up with gold medal per-formances at the BC Summer Games held at Langley, July 11-14.

Teamdog is continuing to train hard throughout the summer under head

coach Dean Ziolkowski at FlexFitness and Tye and Callum will be heading to Victoria in September to compete in the Taranis Open knowing that hard work creates opportunity.

Special Olympics extend a thank you to Campbell River and all the sponsors and supporters of the Howie Meeker Golf Classic for helping them find success in sport and at life.

A complete estate plan includes planning for a time when you are no longer able to manage your own affairs. Three documents that can assist in this area are the Power of Attorney, the Representation Agreement and the Advance

Directive. With diligent planning, these documents can be used to ensure that your affairs are properly managed during a period of incapacity. Unfortunately, not everyone implements a compre-hensive estate and incapacity plan in time.

If a person becomes incap-able of managing her own affairs, and no other plan is in place, the Supreme Court of British Columbia may appoint a commit-tee (pronounced “caw-mi-tee”) as

that person’s guardian. A committee is a person appointed to manage an incapable person’s personal, healthcare, financial and legal affairs.

A committee of the person makes personal care and health-care decisions. This role is usually filled by a family member or close personal friend. A committee of the estate manages legal and financial matters. This role may be filled by a family mem-ber, close personal friend, or a trust company. Both roles are often filled by the same person, but that is not necessarily the case. The Public Guardian and Trustee may also fill either role.

To seek appointment as a committee, you must apply to court and provide supporting material. You must provide an affidavit outlining the person’s financial situation and identi-fying close relatives. You must also provide affidavits of two medical doctors who are both of the opinion that the person is incapable of managing her affairs. All of these materials must be served on the Public Guardian and Trustee and on the incapable person (there are some exceptions to the latter requirement). Unless you have their written consent to your appointment, you should also serve other close relatives. If a judge is persuaded that the person is incapable, and that you are an appropriate committee, you will be appointed.

As a committee, you must act in the incapable person’s best interests, and you must not put yourself in a conflict of inter-est. With only a few limitations, the committee has the same power to manage a person’s affairs as the person herself would if capable. You must keep good records, and your conduct will be reviewed periodically by the Public Guardian and Trustee.

Committeeship is never a better option than planning for your own future while still of sound mind. In addition to the documents mentioned above, you may also nominate your own committee. For more information on committeeship, good information is available on-line through the Canadian Bar Association and the Public Guardian and Trustee website. To get the complete picture you should also contact a lawyer.

Rugby Canada’s National Festival wrapped up at UBC Sunday, after five days of amazing rugby with more than 1,000 athletes from across the country competing from U14 to U18.

Campbell River Athletic Association’s own Jackson Locker, Georgia Bellamy and Kristine Osachuk represented the club well with a Silver Plate finish for Locker’s BC U17 boy’s squad in the competitive U18 division, fourth place for Osachuk’s gutsy BC Blue U16 girl’s team, and a gold medal National championship for Bellamy’s BC Gold U16 girl’s team.

Locker and Bellamy’s sides finished the round robin and semi-finals with 4-0 rec-ords and both played strong Ontario teams in the finals. On the U18 side the score of 27-7 for Ontario didn’t reflect the intensity of play. Locker describes the tournament, “The culture and camaraderie that we built inside our team was probably the best team environment I’ve ever been a part of. That’s not easy because everyone was from different parts of the province but we all clicked and got along like a team that had been together for a full season.”

In the U16 girl’s match the BC Gold was able to hold Ontario scoreless during an exciting and never-let-up game with a final score of 19-0 for BC Gold. “I think that overall the quality of rugby for this age group was outstanding. We knew we were going to come up against a tough Alberta team and a tough Ontario team in this tournament, and we responded phenomenally,” said BC’s U16 girl’s head coach, Jen Ross. “Looking at the bigger picture here, we see high caliber players

coming up from 13 to 16 years old - it’s a great reflection of what all the provinces are trying to do and hopefully it will con-tinue to build from here.”

Locker, Osachuk and Bellamy are very thankful to the Campbell River Athletic Association and their coaches for the sup-port in achieving these successes.

Team BC’s Jackson Locker, 16, of Campbell River, attempts to push through Team Saskatchewan’s defence at the National Festival held at UBC.

Bellamy brings home gold

Photo submittedNational champion BC U16 member Campbell River’s Georgia Bellamy, celebrates with her rugby teammates as the gold medals are handed out.

Fall rugby programs kick-off next weekBC Summer Games where 7-aside rugby will be one of the most hotly contested sports there - boys born in 2000/2001 and girls born 1998/1997 are eligible.

Other rep opportunities exist for both genders at U14-U18 with the North Island’s Tsunami Rugby Academy and BC Rugby Union.

The Association’s Jackson Locker who recently repre-sented BC on their U17 team at a national event describes why he loves rugby, “You go out and smash each other for 80 minutes but once that final whistle goes you’ll be treat-ing the other team like your own teammates and you make loads of friends. Since it is mainly an amateur sport it has a completely different atmosphere than any other sport.”

The world of wine has grown exponentially as globalization has turned much of the wine we enjoy into an international com-modity. Surpluses on one contin-ent are routinely routed to other regions that are suffering from more demand than they can grow and supply locally.

It is very difficult to know where charmingly affordable and wonderfully balanced reds like Saint and Sinner Shiraz Cabernet (893487) $11.99 come from. Whether they are called “Cellared in Canada” or “Bottled in British Columbia”, they are marketed as domestic products when in fact some – if not all – of the wine in the bottle or bag-in-a-box cask was imported in bulk and “finished” here.

According to David Fickling, based in Sydney and writing for Bloomberg.com, Australia is now moving more than half its overseas shipments in bulk 24,000 litre “blad-ders” big enough to fill 32,000 bottles. Four out of five bottles the country sells in U.K. stores are now shipped as bulk and bottled locally.

Named for a unique growth of enormous Red Tingle trees, a variety of Eucalyptus found nearby in Western Australia, Valley of the Giants Cabernet Merlot (338988) $14.99 is remarkably elegant. Western Australia con-tinues to produce finer grained and smoothly fruited red wines from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and this little gem is an excellent example.

The U.S. and South Africa also shipped about half their wine as bulk in 2010 and 2011, according to reports by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Wines of South Africa.

Grapes from two distinctly different South African vineyards went into Juno Shiraz (205651) $12.98. The Paarl vineyards are on decomposed granite soils and the Malmesbury vines grow in deep shale soils. Aging for 14 months in French and American oak has pro-duced a ripe and spicy red that overflows with raspberry and blackcurrant fruit underlined by notes of cinnamon and cedar.

Less common in “Old World” European wine growing regions, bulk shipment is not as vitally important or profitable when the wine is grown, made and bottled close to its final market. Smaller independent producers in Italy, France and Spain are still shipping bottled wines to export markets.

Bodegas Ateca “Old Vines” Garnacha de

Fuego (255745) $15.95 is defin-itely one of the “New” breed of fruit-driven Spanish reds. Lots ofcherry and strawberry, so much that the first sip seems sweet, but that’s an illusion that disappears into “Old World” pepper-spiced earthiness and that “dry” and resinous twist of new leather that underlies so many Spanish reds. “Old vines” making “New World” styled “Old World” wine!

But this flexitank technol-ogy is not just confined to those clever Australians. According to the International Organization of Vine and Wine, Chile shipped about 36 per cent of its overseas sales in bulk in the first six months of last year.

However, according to the back label of Koyle Reserva Syrah (748228) $17.99 this elegant red was “Produced and Bottled” by Viña Koyle, themselves, in Chile. A masterful blend of 87 per cent Syrah and 13 per cent Carmenere, this is a mouthful of berry fruit flavours – blueberries, blackberries and black-currants predominate – over layers of savoury herbs and bittersweet dark chocolate. Don’t overlook this exceptional South American red!

Like the Spanish wine producers, trad-itional French winemakers are unlikely to be rushing to export their treasures in flexitank bladders… but that day may still come.

Delas Saint-Esprit Côtes Du Rhône (915470) $18.99 is a classic Rhône blend of Syrah, Grenache, Carignan and Mourvèdre made in a much less tradition style that focus-es attention of the bright berry and cherry fruit flavours. Thyme, sage, olive and coffee notes sizzle under the sweet and spicy fruit and it all comes together in a final twist of white pepper and liquorice.

For Argentinian winemaker Susana Balbo, the creation of the Dominio del Plata winery in Mendoza is the culmination of 30 years of experience. These wines are unlikely to be shipped “bulk” anytime soon.

After 11 months in a combination of new French oak barrels and second use American oak barrels Dominio del Plata “Ben Marco” Malbec (355321) $23.99 delivers a spicy underlying range of lightly caramelized and spicy thyme complexities that adds intrigue to the ripe red berry fruit. The addition of a little Bonarda gives the wine an earthy edge.

The Campbell River Women’s Centre is launch-ing its 13th Annual School Supply Drive. This pro-ject has been organized by staff at the Centre and involves the distribution of basic school supplies to the children of low income families. The Drive’s success is due to outstanding support from local businesses, individuals and community organiza-tions.

This year will see some changes to the annual event and supplies will be given out from a location at the Common Mall rather than from the Women’s Centre itself. In addition, the Women’s Centre has recently moved, so persons wishing to drop off

donations should drop them off at our new location in the Rose Harbour apartments, at the foot of the Dogwood hill.

“People can help us by donating new school sup-plies.

HARRIS NISSAN 2700 North Island Hwy, Campbell River, BC Tel: (250) 287-7272 www.harris.nissan.ca

Twenty years ago, several years after Sybil Andrews passed away, Barbara Freeland suggested to Brian Scott that he do a series of paintings of the cottage and its landscape. Barbara was a per-sonal friend of Sybil and edited her book “Artist Kitchen.”

The cottage has a strategic set-ting commanding a panorama view of Seymour Narrows and the Straight of Georgia. Scott jumped at the chance to do the paintings on-site and afterwards did a show at the Campbell River Art Gallery. One of the paintings was sold to a coach of the Anaheim Ducks in the NHL, whose wife, living in California, was homesick for the Maritimes. Sybil’s cottage and the beach reminded her of Nova Scotia.

Fortunately, a progressive Campbell River City Council saw the importance of the cottage and acquired the site which now houses the Campbell River Arts Council and its many activities - it is a meeting place for artists, informal painting groups, music classes and carv-

ers, to name a few. Scott is donating a reproduction of his current painting of the Sybil Andrews Cottage as a fund-raiser for the Arts Council. All proceeds go to kids programming. The reproduc-tion shows the Willow Point Cottage - a panorama with a lot of artistic licence. With an eagle’s view from the cot-tage you can see Quadra Island, Cortes Island, the Lund Hotel (one of Scott’s favorite watering holes), up Discovery Passage and the Coast Mountains. The artist incorporated the Gorge Harbor with Stephano Savioli’s old studio, Hollyhock, Squirrel Cove and Savary Island.

Also in the show is one of the ori-ginals from Scott’s first showing from Barbara Freeland’s collection. It is a very different style that what he is doing now.

The show will be in the afternoons from Aug. 21 to 30 at the Sybil Andrews Cottage, 2131 South Island Highway. For more information, contact the Campbell River Arts Council 250-923-0213.

Fisheries and Oceans Canada is trying to confirm reports from an independent biologist that herring around northern Vancouver Island have a disease that is causing bleed-ing from their gills, bellies and eyeballs.

Alexandra Morton wrote to DFO asking for an investigation and viral testing of the fish after she pulled up a net of about 100 herring near Sointula and found they were all bleeding.

“It was pretty shocking to see,” said Morton, who has seen herring suffering from viruses before, but never so sick. “These are very strong

disease symptoms. These fish are in much worse condition.”

She suspects the herring could be suffering from viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus — an infectious disease of fish — and wants DFO to collect and test specimens.

Morton also wants federal fish-

eries officials to do genomic pro-filing on the herring to gain some insight into their immune system, but a DFO spokeswoman said that is probably not possible.

The concern is that the virus could spread to wild salmon, said Morton, a vocal opponent of fish

farms.Herring school with small sock-

eye salmon and are also eaten by chinook and coho.

Arlene Tompkins of DFO’s sal-mon assessment section said staff in the Port Hardy area have not found bleeding herring.

“We are trying to retrieve samples, but [Monday] we were not successful because of heavy fog,” she said. “We haven’t had any other reports of fish kills or die-offs.”

Tompkins has seen photographs provided by Morton, but said it is difficult to speculate what is causing the bleeding until diagnostic tests

can be carried out.DFO fish health experts say the

bleeding could stem from a range of causes as herring naturally carry a variety of pathogens, Tompkins said.

Viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus has previously been identified in Pacific herring and other fish spe-cies in B.C.

It is possible that herring could pass the virus to wild salmon, Tompkins said. “They share the same ecosystem as the salmon. They share the ocean and there’s potential for pathogens to be passed from one to another.”

— Glacier News Service

DFO investigating reports of bleeding herring“We are trying to retrieve

samples, but [Monday] we were not successful because of

heavy fog,” — DFO

could come true, we’d ask with all

our heartsfor yesterday

By Neil Cameron


Campbell River Mayor Walter Jakeway proclaimed the week of Sept. 23 to Sept. 27 as Aquaculture Awareness Week Tuesday night.

“Aquaculture, in particular salmon farming, businesses are key contributors to employ-ment and economic activity in Campbell,” Jakeway said.

“The industry which

includes farm companies as well as those that provide supplies and services within the sector, offers opportunity in many different fields for people of many different back-grounds.”

The proclamation came after a presentation by Elizabeth Young of the BC Salmon Farmer’s Association in which she outlined not only the eco-nomic benefits of the industry but the social involvement

of the farming companies as corporate citizens and of the same type of commitment from individual workers within in the industry.

“Companies directly involved in aquaculture sup-port local events and non-profit groups through donations both direct and in-kind in order to further contribute to the success of our local community,” con-firmed [email protected]

Aquaculture Awareness WeekOn Saturday, Aug. 17, the Nuyumbalees

Cultural Centre will host a fund raising barbecue featuring traditional storytelling, singing, drumming and dancing, tours of the Centre, kids’ activities, a carving dem-onstration, and a salmon dinner.

Starting at 4 p.m., this family-themed afternoon will showcase local Vancouver Island artists, singers, and dancers, with dinner scheduled for 6 p.m.

Tickets are $25 for adults, $10

for children, and can be purchased at Nuyumbalees Cultural Centre or We Wai Kai Campground on Quadra Island, or by calling 250-285-3733.

All proceeds support Nuyumbalees Cultural Centre.

Complimentary shuttle service, upon advanced reservation, will be pro-vided from BC Ferries, We Wai Kai Campground, Tsa Kwa Luten Lodge, and most Quadra resorts.
