There seems to be confusion oncouncil surrounding the city’splans for capital projects.
At a council meeting July 24,Mayor Walter Jakeway was upsetcouncil voted to go ahead thisyear with an application for a fed-eral grant to improve CentennialPark because he said the projectdid not follow the 2012-2016 capi-tal plan.
“So why bother doing a finan-cial plan in the springtime andall of that effort when the Cen-tennial Park playground isn’tshown until 2013,” Jakeway saidat the meeting. “Why let a federalgrant throw us off ? There’s nopoint doing a financial or strate-gic plan if we’re not prepared tofollow it.”
Jakeway’s comments were pub-lished in the Mirror Aug. 8.
A few days later, Coun. LarrySamson, liaison to the parks andrecreation department, said hedidn’t understand why the mayormade those comments.
Samson said the CentennialPark improvement project iskeeping in-line with the finan-cial plan council approved thisspring.
“While we’re applying for thegrant this year, the project wouldnot be completed until next yearwhich is in-line with the 2013 capi-tal plan,” Samson said. “We applyfor the grant this year and by the

Despite the deterioration of the city’s industrial tax base, Camp-bell River’s financial picture
looks positive when compared to municipalities of similar size.
The city recently participated in a core service review for Mis-sion which involved comparing itself with Campbell River, Ver-
non, Penticton, Langford and North Cowichan.
The results of the review, con-ducted by consulting firm Acton, were surprising.
“For this study, you will note
that the financial metrics of Campbell River as a comparable to the other cities is very posi-tive,” said City Manager Andy Laidlaw. “In consideration of

While the chainsaws of the Logger Sports competition buzzed away, the cooks were hard at it in the Seafood Cook Off at the Campbell River Salmon Festival. Delicious dishes were presented and the lucky judges decided which were the best of the best. Meanwhile, the music stage provided background music.

time it’s approved and we start construction, it wouldn’t be until 2013.”
He said council has budgeted $56,000 in the city’s 2013 capital plan for Centennial Park.
The project involves upgrading the prac-tice tennis court and turning it into a multi-sport court as well as replacing the current playground with a nat-ural playscape, which is aimed at free play, sensory discovery and helping kids form a connection to nature.
If the city’s applica-tion for a chunk of the
federal government’s Community Infra-structure Improve-ment Fund is success-ful, the city would still need to cover 50 per cent of the project cost, which would be equal to roughly $225,000.
Coun. Andy Adams was supportive of applying for the grant, as the park serves vul-nerable and at-risk children and youth.
“This is an area that is a mid-to-low income area (that) provides opportunities and is surrounded by a large residential area in the middle of town,” Adams said. “Centen-
nial Park was in the five-year parks and recreation plan.”
But Coun. Ron Kerr sided with Jakeway’s line of thinking.
“I don’t believe in just supporting a pro-gram because the fed-eral government comes along with a grant,” he said. “I don’t think this was on our list of proj-ects this year.”
In the end, council elected to apply for the
grant for Centennial Park as well for the Big Rock Boat Ramp upgrades, should there be a second intake of applications. Samson admitted that project would be fast-tracked if funding is made available: “In fact it’s the Big Rock Boat Ramp we’re moving ahead because it’s not scheduled until 2014 under the approved capital plan.”

Arson on CarlylePolice and Fire personnel responded to a report of an arson on Carlyle Crescent Sunday around 10:30 p.m. A wooded area adjacent to a property on that street had been deliberately set on fire by an agitated relative of the occupants, Staff Sgt. Troy Beauregard reported. A 40-year-old male was arrested in the back yard of the residence. He was taken into custody and will be facing charges of arson and uttering threats.

Park: Project has been budgeted for
the significant losses of industrial tax rev-enue (due to the clo-sure of Catalyst mill) over the last several years, Campbell River finds itself compara-tively well-positioned in relation to the other cities.”
In arguably the most important statistic, Campbell River’s long-term outstanding debt is well below average.
“Not only has Camp-bell River remained significantly below average in terms of (its) total long-term debt outstanding, but it has also been declining since 2008 while the average has increased,” writes
Laidlaw in his report to council. “Campbell River currently has the lowest total long-term debt outstanding of all the comparators.”
In 2008, the city’s debt sat at $15 million but by 2011 the long-term debt was down to about $8 million.
In comparison, the average of the other four communities com-bined was $31 million in 2008 and $34 million by 2011.
And in contrast to Mayor Walter Jake-way’s cries during his 2011 election campaign that the city engages in too much wasteful spending, Campbell River’s expenditures per capita are in line
with other similar-sized communities.
In 2009, the city’s expenditures per cap-ita decreased from $1.8 million to $1.4 million but have increased slightly every year since.
However, as Laidlaw points out, rates have remained average each year.
In 2010, Campbell River’s expenditures per capita were $1.5 million while in 2011 they were $1.6 million.
Jakeway had said during his mayoral bid last fall that the city was spending too much, which was contributing to high taxes.
“I think Campbell
River does not have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem,” he said at the time.
The Acton study also found Campbell Riv-er’s financial assets to liabilities ratio to be higher than average at 1.6 in 2011, compared to the average of 0.8.
The city’s tangible capital assets was below average in 2011 at $201 million while the average sat at $351 million and the city’s t o t a l g ove r n m e n t transfers to revenue ratio is on the rise.
In 2011, Campbell River’s government transfers to total rev-enue was at a rate of 0.2, while the average was just above 0.1.

A heavy duty truck and equipment dealer is relocating and one resident fears the business will hurt his neighbourhood.
Inland Kenworth, which deals in sales, parts and service of commercial trucks, as well as logging and mining equipment, is planning a move to accommodate its grow-ing business.
T h e r e l o c a t i o n was pending council approval of the com-pany’s development permit application at Tuesday night’s coun-cil meeting after the Mirror went to press.
If approved, Inland Kenworth’s new home, the former Bill How-ich RV site, will pro-vide for a 24,326 square foot building – more than double the cur-rent 10,000 square foot facility Kenworth has occupied for the last 20 years.
“Basically we’ve
outgrown the build-ing we’re in,” said Bill Morrison, assistant manager of the Camp-bell River Inland Ken-worth branch. “We’ve ran out of room in the parts warehouse.”
The company also has to do most of its repairs outside due to limited space in its four service bays. In the new store, all of the work will be done inside, including wash-ing of all the vehicles.
The building will also be more environ-mentally-friendly.
“It will be totally self-contained, there’s no environmental haz-ard,” Morrison said. “So when we bring in a piece of equip-ment there will be no debris because all of the storage parts will all be kept inside. So we’ll have a nice, clean lot with basically just employee, guest, and sales parking outside. We want to show off our trucks so we’ll put them on our front lot.”
But Greg Kirby, who’s
lived on Effie Joy Road, off of Perkins, since 1964, is worried Inland Kenworth’s new home between Coulter and Perkins roads is too close for comfort.
“City hall is allowing a noisy industrial busi-ness next to a residen-tial area,” Kirby said. “The methods used to work on that machin-
ery are all heavy indus-trial, you have sledge hammering, grinding, all very annoying. It’s going to be added to the noise we’re already forced to put up with,” said Kirby, who lives near car dealerships, auto repair shops and other light industry.
He said he’s also con-cerned that he will be
downwind from poten-tial diesel fumes.
Ross Blackwell, the city’s land use man-ager, said the city is doing all that it can and Inland Kenworth’s operations conform to the subject property’s Commercial Four and Industrial One zon-ings.
“ We c a n n o t g o
a r o u n d d i c t a t i n g what’s preferred and not preferred,” Black-well said. “We would be sued in a second and we would lose. We cannot shut someone out of a zone with a permissible use.”
B l a c k w e l l a l s o doesn’t perceive there to be any conflicts with Inland Kenworth and residential neigh-bours.
“The site is within a commercial/industrial area and is several lots removed from the near-est residential proper-ties on Perkins Road and Effie Joy Road,” he said. “It is therefore considered that there would be no signifi-cant or direct adverse impacts to any residen-tial properties.”
Morrison of Inland Kenworth also doesn’t foresee any trouble.
“We’ll be starting up the vehicles outside but all of the work will be done inside,” Morri-son said. “It’s all being done in the building with full-size bays.”
As for Kirby’s con-cerns about exposure to poisonous fumes, Morrison said new vehicles sold by Ken-worth run on diesel particulate filters and urea. Those two combi-nations allow for very few diesel emissions.
“ I t ’s ve r y, ve r y clean,” he said. “It’s basically steam com-ing out of the pipes. Environmental stud-ies on these things say you can breathe in the exhaust, it’s that clean. It’s not like the thick, black exhaust you used to see.”
Still, Kirby said he’d prefer to see the city develop land for indus-trial use in areas such as Menzies Bay, Middle Point, the airport, or even along the Inland Island Highway.
“There’s a certain morality at stake here,” he said.
Inland Kenworth’s major development permit was up for dis-cussion and potential approval by council Tuesday night.
Heavy equipment dealership’s move causes rumblings

Inland Kenworth’s Bill Morrison is hoping to be able to move this excavator and
other equipment to a new location in North Campbell River pending city council’s
approval.

Speed bumps on Gal-erno Road that sur-prised area residents are expected to be removed by the end of next month.
The city asked coun-cil to approve the Gal-er no/Simms Creek culvert repair work at Tuesday’s council meeting to a local com-pany, which will erase the need for the speed bumps.
City staff recom-mended council hire the lowest bidder for the work, McElhan-ney Consulting Ser-vices Ltd., at a cost of $193,455 to be funded by the Storm Water Parcel Tax Reserve.
The culvert was not scheduled for rehabili-tation until 2013 but an engineer recently found the culvert, which runs under-neath Galerno Road, has deteriorated to the point that it is no lon-ger capable of carrying the required loads.
The culvert bears the weight of the vehicles that pass along Galerno as well as a number of utilities that pass over the culvert within the roadway including a water main, a gravity sanitary sewer, a con-crete encased Telus duct bank and a natu-ral gas main.
Two months ago, the city was advised the culvert is buckling and the north wall of the culvert has impacted the road.
“The city’s consul-tant has determined that the risk is too high to delay the required remedial works to the Galerno Road Simms Creek culvert until 2013 as was originally planned based on the most recent inspec-tion,” said Drew Had-field, city transpor-tation manager, in a report to council. “Accordingly, the city has issued a request for proposals for a design-build solution to be completed prior to the end of September.”
In the meantime, the city has propped up the steel pipe culvert in fish-bearing Simms Creek with screw jacks and timber beams. The speed bumps and a 30 kilometre per hour speed zone have slowed down traffic in an attempt to delay the breakdown of the cul-vert.
But the speed bumps have done more than slow traffic, they also landed a Campbell River teen in hospital with injuries to his ribs, face, legs, wrist, and elbow a few weeks ago.
Blair Mark, 16, was riding his skateboard southbound down the Galerno hill at night, and unaware of the small square-top speed bumps at the bottom of hill, he hit the speed bumps at full force, causing his board to stop and Mark to go fly-ing through the air.
The city had installed signs on either end of the speed bumps to notify motorists of
the change, but did not send out notification letters to residents in the area.
Hadfield said he would like the repairs to be done, and the speed bumps taken out, by September in order to avoid higher flow conditions in Simms Creek during the fall and winter months.
“The works to be undertaken in this project are of an urgent nature and are time-sensitive based on in-stream works as well as fall weather conditions that could see further deteriora-tion of the crossing,” Hadfield said. “The work for this project will require either a short closure of Gal-erno Road during the construction period of traffic control in place.
“Staf f will work with the consultant to determine the saf-est and most effective approach to the work site and will post local signage as required.”
Simms Creek speed bump removal accelerated
KRISTEN DOUGLAS/THE MIRROR
A culvert running under Galerno Road is to be upgraded and speed bumps
placed on the road above to minimize damage caused by vehicle speed will be
removed.

Cyclist complaints
There have been an increasing number of complaints in regards to cyclists riding on the sidewalks in city limits, according to the RCMP.
“This is more noticable in the areas that are in between the sea walk and other dedicated trails,” said Staff Sgt. Troy Beauregard. “Cyclists are reminded that when riding their bikes they are to be on the roads following traffic laws and when on the sidewalks they are to dismount.”
Cycling on a sidewalk carries a $109 fine. Members of the Campbell River RCMP will be monitoring for this while conducting bike patrols.
Power boats in prohibited area
Police have received a complaint about power driven vessels traveling in the propeller prohibited zone adjacent to Tyee Spit.
Propeller driven boats and floatplanes are prohibited from operating between
the two “No Propellers” signs on shore out to 185 meters from the low water mark.
The regulation governing this area and fine amount is: Operate Power Driven Vessel Where Prohibited – fine: $230. Canada Shipping Act - Vessel Operation Restriction Regulations. Section 2(3) (VORR)
The Department
of Fisheries and Oceans and RCMP West Coast Marine
Section will be monitoring for compliance.
A boater charged with harassing a group of orca whales two years ago was found guilty on two charges in Campbell River pro-vincial court Aug. 7.
Carl Eric Peterson was found guilty by Judge Brian Saunder-son of unlawfully dis-turbing a marine mam-mal while not fishing and of unlawfully harassing a threatened wildlife species.
T h e i n c i d e n t occurred on Oct. 3, 2010 in Discovery Passage between Quadra Island and Campbell River. Peterson was operat-ing a power boat in the vicinity of a group of orcas, or killer whales, w h e n e ye w i t n e s s Fishery Officer Car-los Paramio said two orcas surfaced about 60 metres in front of
Peterson’s boat. Paramio told the
court during Peter-son’s two-day trial Jan. 11-12, 2012, that Peterson accelerated towards the pair of whales. The orcas dove as Peterson’s boat got closer, and then slowed down. Paramio said he saw Peterson approach four or five times, with the boat getting closer each time.
He said the last time, the boat was 15-25 metres behind the whales “and at that point the vessel did a quick U-turn and immediately went into planing speed and left the area.”
Shortly after, Peter-son was stopped by Paramio and accompa-nying fishery officer Greg Askey.
Askey, who was driv-
ing the officers’ patrol boat, corroborated Paramio’s testimony and said he saw Peter-son motor in and out among as many as four whales.
“As the whales were moving, the boat would come up...not quite onto the plane, but what I call a ploughing speed...to where the whales surfaced, stop,” Askey told the court. “The whales would go down. (Peterson would) plough forward again as they would come up.”
Judge Saunderson wrote in his written decision handed down Aug. 7 that “the tes-timony of the Crown witnesses was not solely attacked during cross-examination. Furthermore, I accept as substantially accu-
rate the fishery offi-cers’ estimates of dis-tances.”
According to Saun-derson, there is no law specifying the mini-mum distances boat-ers must maintain between their vessels and orcas. All that exists are guidelines laid out in a leaflet called Be Whale Wise. It describes and illus-trates a “no-go zone” within 100 metres lat-erally and 400 metres ahead of and behind a pod of travelling killer whales.
Saunderson said these guidelines “do not have the force of law, but were available to boaters.”
Dr. John Ford, an expert on whale biol-ogy, prepared a report for the court stating those guidelines have
long been in place in both Canada and the United States.
Ford could not say with certainty that Peterson’s boat dis-turbed the whales, but there was the potential to disturb them.
Ford wrote in his re por t that close approaches to killer whales have the poten-tial to disrupt the nor-mal behaviour pattern of orcas by changing their speed, direction of travel, dive cycles, and frequency of tail slaps.
“The noise created by their (nearby) motors...can mask the vocaliza-tions that whales use to communicate and navigate under water,” Ford wrote. “In my opinion, both are fac-tors in disturbance responses.
“Such disturbance can cause short-term disruption of behav-iours such as resting, feeding, socializing, and mother/calf inter-actions such as nurs-ing.”
In finding Peterson guilty, Saunderson said Crown counsel showed there was a “very high probability” that the whales were disturbed, which was more than needed.
Proof of an actual disturbance is not required by law.
“On the second point, nothing in the evidence suggests that the defen-dant was fishing for marine mammals – or anything else – at the time, and I find that he was not fishing,” Saunderson wrote. “The charges have been proved and I find the defendant guilty of counts one and two.”

EDITOR: Alistair [email protected]
The provincial government has asked Elections BC to look more thoroughly into electronic voting.
While this makes a great deal of sense, given how much business can be easily transacted on
computers, it is important not to jump into the deep end.
This is because voting is a privilege in a democratic society, or at least needs to be treated as such. Many people in various parts of thje world do not have the opportunity to vote. In many cases when they do, the
system is rigged. It would be foolish to think that our system cannot be rigged. Political parties and their
most avid supporters know no bounds when it comes to trying to work the system to their advantage. When there are opprtuinities to stack a vote, they will do so if there is little fear of consequences.
Take a look at recent one-member, one-vote leadership selections by both the NDP and the BC Liberals. In the case of the NDP, eventual winner Adrian Dix’s campaign flooded the office of the provincial party with last-minute member sign-ups, in most cases without attached payment. The payments were then attached to the membership forms at the office, in contravantion of party rules, but there was no enforcement of the rule.
In the case of the Liberals, PIN numbers provided
to party members so they could vote online or by telephone did not all arrive on time. There were delays for some members in being able to vote, and undoubtedly some members did not get the chance to cast a ballot because of the mix-up. If there is to be online voting, everyone must have the ability to vote. Security needs to be paramount. One of the great advantages of the current system is that people must show up in person to vote. Thus they need to be able to prove who they are, and it is very difficult to vote more than once. Online voting should be examined as a possible tool, but it should only be put in place if there more safeguards than there are currently.

B.C. liquor laws are finally proving effective
We say: There needs to be safeguards put in place
Here’s a summer scene being played out all over North America. Fam-ily van pulls up to the corner store to stock up on a few camping essen-tials: pop, chips, hot dogs, a case of beer and a bottle of vodka.
Not in B.C. you say? It happens every day at rural agency liquor stores around the province. As with many other issues, there is one real-ity for urban B.C. and another for the rest of us.
Selling booze in grocery stores would presumably create anarchy in B.C cities and towns, but villagers and their visitors somehow manage it, just as everyone does across the line in Washington or Alaska.
These rural agency stores are “fly-
speck operators,” sniffs an acquain-tance who spent his career as a union activist in government liquor stores. Picture dusty old bottles on a rick-ety shelf, greedy owners and poorly trained clerks more likely to sell to under-age drinkers.
Similar generalizations can be heard about the hundreds of private liquor stores that have popped up around B.C. since they were legal-ized. And in fact there have been more violations in private stores, revealed in sting operations run by liquor inspectors. In the year ended March 31, 54 private stores were caught selling to a minor, for an 84 per cent compliance rate. Only four government stores were caught, a
pass rate of 96 per cent. Five rural agency stores were tested, and one flunked.
But here is the telling statistic. In 2010, the government allowed liquor inspectors to employ actual minors to test stores. Previously, they hired people who looked young but were old enough to buy alcohol. As late as 2009, two out of three stores (government or otherwise) sold to them. Problem is, that’s not an actual offence.
Now liquor inspectors send in undercover teens, and relieve them of the evidence when they are allowed to buy booze. The watchdog now has teeth, and compliance has jumped.
The government glossed over the poorer performance of private stores.
But in fairness, three times as many private stores as government ones were targeted in the new inspections, and the gap is narrow. Government stores also have a huge built-in finan-cial advantage in their wholesale rate, and are generally overstaffed by private sector standards.
The B.C. Liberals also moved this spring to make rural agency stores easier to establish. Regulation changes brought the minimum pop-ulation served from 300 down to 200, and eliminated a vague requirement for a “bona fide community” to exist around the store.
Meanwhile, the big booze story this year is cabinet minister Rich
This is an open letter to the person who rummaged through our family car in our driveway on Cortez Road on Saturday night.
Dear sir or madam,You obviously spent a lot of time going through every
single thing in our car. I hope you liked the kids’ books and toys, and I hope the dog poop bags didn’t get too much in your way. Did you take some extra time to read “Go Dog, Go?” That’s one of my favourites.
As you will have no doubt discovered, we are a fam-ily with young kids. We don’t have anything valuable. Sorry about that. It’s just what happens when you grow up, get a job, get married and have kids. Take my advice. Do what I did when I was your age. Get a summer job. You’ll never have more disposable income than when you’re young, living at home, have no bills to pay and have a full-time job. Do that and you’ll have lots of money to spend on whatever you want. Also, girls like guys with money.
You won’t have to rummage through strangers’ fami-

Coleman’s plan to sell B.C.’s warehouse and distribution monopoly to a private contractor.
The B.C. Government Employees’ Union has protested, despite assurances that their jobs will continue.
B.C.’s burgeoning
craft beer industry has looked to Alberta’s all-private model and pre-dicts higher costs.
The B.C. Liberal gov-ernment has been on the defensive from the start, with the NDP pointing to the paper trail of lobbyists with an apparent inside track.
It’s great politics, but it matters little to con-sumers in an increas-ingly competitive but heavily taxed busi-ness.
Another new regu-lation took effect this summer, creating a $525 fine for adults serving minors, on the job, at home or as a
bootlegger. Parents who provide
booze for their own under-age children are exempted. Previously, penalties applied only to licensed establish-ments.
If the issue really is public safety and teen binge drinking, the key job for government is
to regulate sales effec-tively. Once that is done, no justification remains for govern-ment liquor sales.

lymobiles in the mid-dle of the night desper-ately looking for a few bucks in quarters so you can buy your girl a Costco hot dog.
You can pull out your wallet like a boss and say, “nah baby, I got this.”
You did take one thing, though. It’s not valuable but it has a lot of personal, sentimen-tal value to me. You took my Zippo lighter emblazoned with the insignia of the Cana-
dian Armoured Corps (see accompanying graphic). I’m pretty sure it’s the only one of its kind in town.
So to the rest of the people reading this let-
ter, if you see anyone using a Zippo lighter emblazoned with this crest – an armoured fist surrounded by four arrows – the per-son who has it, got it by furtively rummag-ing through a bunch of kids toys, garbage and baby wipes in the mid-dle of the night. Noth-ing to be proud of.
And if you see some-one using it, ask him if he enjoyed the “Peek-a-Boo Kitten” book.

Proud of yourself? Effective immediately, BC Hydro has closed public access to the Campbell River beside the John Hart Generating Station due to a danger-ous tree hazard within the river. With the high river flows we experienced last week, the tree in the river has moved yet again with the base of the tree swinging out into the river channel.
BC Hydro has been monitoring the situation since the tree fell into the river in March from the wind storm. We have been in contact with Destiny River Adventures, BC Parks, and Fisher-ies and Oceans Canada.
BC Hydro asks the public to access the river below the tree hazard. Should the tree be dis-lodged, public river access from our property will be restored.
Signs will be placed in the John Hart parking lot and on the river access gate.
The only river access that will be provided from our property is to Destiny River Adventures.

The following letter to the editor was pub-lished in the August 10 edition of the Mirror with an incorrect head-line on the carry over. Here is the letter in its entirety, with apologies for the error.
I am shocked that you published this letter from someone outside our community.
How can they have any knowledge of how our trails are built or maintained?
And why single out mountain bike trails, many hiking trails are far worse in both con-struction and mainte-nance than trails used for cycling.
The River City Cycle
Club are in a partner-ship with BC Parks and MOF to be the Stew-ards of the local trail system used primarily for mountain biking, known a The Snowden Demonstration Forest.
These trails are built and maintained to the highest internationally recognised standards as set out by IMBA, the International Moun-tain Bike Association.
The standards as set out have been adopted by many areas, and are now used in many parks for hiking trails.
The trail standards are designed to build sustainable trails that cause minimal impact to environment.
Is there an impact to environment?
Yes, but there is an impact to the environ-ment from all human activities.
Do you drive a car? Ride a bus? Travel in a plane or boat?
Do you live in a house? Use electric-ity? Eat food from out-side your local area?
Is your home made of wood or concrete? Live in a city?
All these activities have far greater impact than trails.
I could continue, however the point is mountain bikers for the most part are lov-ers of nature and the environment and the impact of our sport
is minimal when trail are built responsibly.
We have strong part-nerships with BC Park and MOF due to the fact we build responsi-bly and have a strong reliable volunteer work force that gets the job done.
Your paper’s publish-ing of this letter shows a lack of community awareness, a failure to understand the eco-nomic impact respon-sible sports have on a community as well as the positive social impact of recreation.
Please be more responsible in what you print.
Dan ClementsCampbell River
Trails meet high standardsThe following is a let-
ter written to the city, filed for publication in the Mirror.
I a m ve r y c o n -cer ned after read-ing the article in the local newspaper about the city considering taking the memorial benches back from the people who purchased them...for the purpose of leasing them to new people. The bench our family purchased in Jerry Mergaert’s name has very special mean-ing to us. This is where we go on any given day to feel close to him...whether we are happy or sad or just miss him. My g randchildren have played there and my daughter and
son have shared many memories sitting on the bench. We never miss visiting him on the anniversary of his death and such occa-sions as birthdays, Father’s Day, Christ-mas, Easter, etc. Every-day that one of us drives by and sees an elderly person resting or a child playing or a parent, runner, etc sit-ting on the bench, we know that Jerry would be so happy to have them stop and enjoy the beauty and serenity.
So now you have run out of room for more benches...I see many places left in Campbell River. Could there be too many benches? If so, move on to new ideas. If the cost has
gone up, lease the new ones or charge more! Taking the benches back could be very dev-astating to loved ones...and is no different than taking the Tidemark memorial chairs back or removing any memo-rial for that matter.
To us, this is Jerry’s tombstone and at the time we purchased it we were led to believe that it would always be there. Please think long and hard before you make such a insen-sitive decision. I can assure you our family is not alone in our feel-ings concerning this matter.

The Maritime Heri-tage Centre’s seventh annual Discovery Pas-sage Boat Rodeo takes place Sunday, Aug. 26, at Robert Ostler Park.
The fun starts at 11 a.m. and runs until 4 p.m., with a wide vari-ety of events and dis-plays that will interest everyone in the fam-ily and, as always, it’s totally free to attend.
Watch as two-person teams of intrepid boat builders attempt to construct a boat in under four hours from materials costing no more than $90, then paddling it in a race around a set course, changing positions in the boat at the halfway mark, and trying not to sink into the Passage. This year, six or more teams have signed on to test their skills in the Build, Bail and Paddle and this is shaping up to be a great spectator event. Boat construc-tion starts at 10:30 a.m., with the Big Race tak-ing place at 2 p.m.
The Blind Rowboat Races are great fun too - two people in the boat, the rower is blindfolded, the other person gives directions to the rower to (hope-fully) navigate the course. Sounds easy, but it never seems to work out that way. If you think you’re up to it, you can sign up before the event and give it a try. The action starts at 1:30 p.m.
The Loyal Nanaimo Bathtub Society will be there once again, racing in an officially sanctioned World Championship event. This year the course will be set up so the
tubbers will never be out of sight and you’ll see all the action. There will be heats for stock and modified tubs. The tubbers race for points and at the end of the season the winners in each class are presented with the World Championship trophies. The first heat will take place at noon, with the second start-ing at 1 p.m.
Between the events, the always popular Boom Boats (or Side-winders) will be per-forming their “Boom Boat Ballet”, and you can take a tour of the Coast Guard’s 47-foot Cape Palmerston with its twin 450 hp engines. Be sure and visit the displays and demon-
strations by the Royal C a n a d i a n M a r i n e Search & Rescue, the Boat Modelling Club, Bill Howich RV, the Power Squadron, Out-
door Addictions, Kay-aks Unlimited and rope making demos by Ruedi Pletscher. There’ll be facepaint-ing by Magical Faces
and a Bounce-a-Rama for the little ones too.
When you get hungry, you can grab a burger or hot dog in support
of the Head Injury Support Society, enjoy some Kettle Corn, Cot-ton Candy or other treats. The Maritime
Heritage Society will be selling soft drinks as well.
Dan Teloski, chair of the event, says there may be some other sur-prises as well. In the past, tug boats, coastal transport craft, fish farming transports, the RCMP boat and others have been on hand for people to tour. As these are all work-ing boats, if there’s work for them to do, they won’t be avail-able - but he’s got his fingers crossed.
On air personalities from 99.7 The River will be on hand look-ing after emcee duties, and promise to keep the entertainment factor and the energy level high.
The Discovery Pas-sage Boat Rodeo is presented by the Mari-time Heritage Society in celebration of our link to the sea. Major sponsors include the Campbell River Mir-ror, Grieg Seafood, Seymour Pacific Devel-opments and 99.7 the River.

Join us at the Camp-bell River Library today at 10:30 a.m. when the Campbell River Museum sum-mer students will per-form two free puppet shows.
“Ripple Rock” and “Skookum Sal” are both entertaining sto-ries from Campbell River’s fascinating history.
This fun-filled event is open to Summer Reading Club members and other children approximately 5 years
of age and older, as well as their families. The library is at 1240 Shoppers Row beside the Tidemark Theatre.
It’s not too late to reg-ister for the Summer Reading Club which provides elementary school children with incentives to make reading an integral part of their holi-day and encourages them to practice and improve their reading skills while school is out.
Children who sign
up receive a fun regis-tration package with a bookmark, stickers, trinkets, and a reading record book in which they are encouraged to keep track of the books they have read. Kids can also attend interesting programs such as this puppet show. When they finish their reading record, children are eligible to receive a special Summer Read-ing Club medal and, at the end of the summer the Campbell River
branch will celebrate with a wind-up party and medal ceremony.
For younger children who are not yet reading on their own, there is also the “Read to Me” Club where parents can track the books they read to their chil-dren to qualify them for prize draws and reading medals.
Find more informa-tion, visit www.virl.bc.ca or contact the Campbell River Library at (250) 287-3655. Kids use their own or their parent’s library card, which is available free-of-charge at all local library branches. Parents need to show valid ID and sign their children’s card.
They can also apply online at www.virl.bc.ca (click ‘Using the Library’ > ‘Member-ship’).
Summer Reading Club is sponsored by the BC Library Asso-ciation and Vancou-ver Island Regional Library, with assis-tance from the Librar-i e s a n d L i t e r a cy Branch, Ministry of Education.

T h e S t r a t h c o n a Regional District Rec-reation Commission is donning their hockey jerseys to help pro-mote local community sports groups.
Friday, Sept. 28 is Jersey Day – a national day to show your love and support for sport by wearing a jersey, team or club uniform to school, work or play.
The SRD Recreation Commission is hoping other Campbell River businesses and orga-nizations will take on the challenge and encourage their staff/members to wear their uniforms or favourite sports team jerseys on September 28.
In conjunction with the national Jersey Day promotions a Community Sports Week - Try it for free event is also planned.
September 29 is offi-cially Sports Day in Canada.
T h i s we e k w i l l include a number of free sports and active
recreation activities throughout the com-munity. Details will be announced Sept. 10.
About the Power of Sport
Sport has the power to reduce crime, foster character and citizen-ship, introduce new-comers to their com-munities, stimulate the local economy, pro-vide adult mentorship for young people, teach kids important life les-sons and strengthen
community connect-edness.
Unfortunately, over the past two decades, sport participation rates in Canadian youth aged 15 to 18 dropped from 77 per cent to 59 per cent - and in adults, from 45 per cent to 28 per cent.
Over half of Cana-dian adults are consid-ered inactive, and only seven per cent of our children and youth are active enough to meet Canada’s Physical Activity Guidelines.
The Strathcona Regional District Recreation Com-mission is gearing up to promote local community sports groups.

More than 300 mil-lion viewers will see the beauty of British Columbia and expe-rience a little ‘Island Time’ as huge Korean and Chinese film proj-ects hit Vancouver Island this summer.
Tourism Vancou-ver Island has been extremely busy work-ing with the Canadian Tourism Commission and Tourism British Columbia on two large film projects.
A Korean crew is the first and largest crew to arrive this month. XTM is one of the most popular cable channels in Korea and the launch of their latest project is a new TV reality travel show called ‘Adrena-line’ which will high-light various busi-nesses and locations throughout Vancouver Island.
The show focuses on four male celebrities experiencing fun and adventurous travel in Whistler and on Van-couver Island.
The Korean cast and crew of 30 will be taking in some great
adventures at Horne Lake Caves by testing their mettle with cav-ing, rappelling, and rock climbing as well as challenging their agility with water sports. This large cast and crew will also be making a stop at the Old Country Market in Coombs with the famous goats on the roof to check out the goats, great food and tourist attractions. The crew then heads south to the Chemainus murals and on to Vic-toria for more outdoor adventures. The new travel show will air in September and has an estimated advertising/PR value of over $1.8 million.
Vancouver Island also welcomes China’s premier TV Travel Channel and National Geographic Traveler Magazine with ‘Can-ada, You Can Be A Star’. The promotion is a joint venture with the Canadian Tourism Commission and Tour-ism British Columbia working in partner-ship with destination
marketing organiza-tions like Tourism Vancouver Island to showcase ‘Signature Experiences’. Over 5,058 couples uploaded images and videos through the Canadian Tourism Commission’s Keep Exploring website which generated over 200,000 visits.
The project involved narrowing the contes-tants to five Chinese couples who will travel across Canada.
The five couples will experience hands on classic Canadian activities showcasing many businesses and locations. The winning couple to experience Vancouver Island will try their hands at creat-ing a master-piece sand sculpture at Parks-ville’s Beach Festival, learn how much fun it is to work on a farm at Little Qualicum Chee-seworks, experience the wonders in Tofino with whale watching, paddle a dug out First Nations canoe, test their balance surfing, travel to Victoria for kayaking adventures,
experience the Capital city scene, learn the process behind making apple cider and see how the Seaweed Lady cre-ates amazing organic seaweed spa products that are sold around the world. The Travel Channel in China has a viewing audience of more than 300 million people which will pro-vide extensive expo-sure for Canada.
“This is a great example of how Tour-ism Vancouver Island works with the national and provincial destina-tion marketing organi-zations and the tourism businesses within the region to grow the eco-nomic benefits derived from tourism,” says Dave Petryk, President & CEO of Tourism Van-couver Island. “The impact of unsolicited media attention has a great deal of value in influencing travellers’ decisions to choose our destination.”
The two film proj-ects will highlight the pristine coastlines, lush emerald forests, sparkling wave-swept
beaches, stunning prop-erties, delicious culi-nary fare and friendly people. The advertis-ing/PR value of these projects is in excess of $20 million.
Vancouver Island continues to be rec-ognized as a premier vacation destination. In 2012, Travel + Lei-sure magazine readers voted Vancouver Island as the Number One Island in the Continen-tal US and Canada, and has been among the top three islands since 2001.
In 2011 Condé Nast T raveler Readers ’ Choice awarded Van-couver Island as #1 Island in Canada. From 2000-2008, Vancouver Island was rated as the Best Island in North America by the readers of Condé Nast Traveler and continues to be ranked among the top three.
T his prest igious travel magazine with a per issue readership of more than two million has been conducting a Readers’ Choice award program since 1988.
Tourism Vancouver Island is one of six regional destination management organiza-tions in British Colum-bia that represent Tour-ism British Columbia through the delivery of co-operative marketing and community devel-opment programs.

Sue passed away at New Horizons Care Centre in Campbell
River after a lengthy illness. She was born in Nanton, Alberta to
Anne and W.J. (Billy) Greig. Sue spent most of her childhood on
the Greig farm west of Nanton.
At age nineteen, Sue married Gordon Cecil Berger of Champion,
Alberta on May 19, 1940. Then it was an adventurous life for
both of them. While raising their family they moved from Alberta
to the Queen Charlotte Islands, to Jericho Beach, Burnaby,
Surrey and finally landed in Campbell River in 1962. All along
her destinations, Sue left a long list of close friends.
Sue never seemed to stop; she had high energy and a delight in
positive living. She enjoyed people and was interested in them,
and in their welfare, and she helped many in her quiet way. She
hosted people from all over the world. She held house parties,
card parties, birthday parties, Christmas parties...it was always
an enjoyment of life and work. Her door was always open to
everyone. She will be sadly missed but has left us all with a
legacy of friendship and wonderful memories.
Sue was predeceased by her parents, her brothers John and
Tom, her husband Gordon and her daughter Sharon. Surviving
Sue is Sharon's son, Paul McDonald and his son Xzander;
daughter Marlene (Harlen) Pearson; son R.D. (Shara) and their
son Nathan (Min Yeong); sister-in-law, Jean; nieces Marianne
and Brenda; nephews Van and Jan.
There is a memorial service planned for September 15, 2012 at
1:00 pm at Coast Dicovery Inn, Quadra Room.
Elizabeth Susan (Sue) BergerOctober 12, 1920 – July 29, 2012

AL MCLEANSPECIAL TO THE MIRROR
The Windsor Plywood Bantam C Ravens trav-elled to Burnaby for the 2012 BC Provincial Championships July 26 to 29 and brought home the gold medal.
It was refreshing to start the provincial round-robin games against a brand-new opponent…Langley. The Ravens began the Friday morning game a bit tentative as this was the first time most players were on a true hardwood floor instead of concrete. Some pre-ferred the better trac-tion/adhesion while others lamented the way the ball changed direction as it hit a seam or edge.
Captain Nolan Mor-rison led the way with a strong effort and was quickly supported by assistant captains Nolan Fair, Zach Lon-tayao and the entire team. Gavin Hope picked the perfect time to score his first goal of the season with a wicked shot that the goalie had no chance to
save. Strong defensive efforts by Kodie Bor-ton, Andy Hunt, Nick Kool and David Lavi-gne proved that the Ravens were not to be denied as they opened the round robin games with a 9-2 victory. Game MVP as selected by opposing coaches was Nolan Fair.
Game 2The buzz in the con-
course concer ning the Ravens’ afternoon opponent, Burnaby, was that they had only lost a couple of games all season.
Head coach Todd Fair, along with assistant coaches Ken Doney and Jeff Lontayao, kept the players’ minds on task using pre-game visual-ization routines.
“Focus on what you want to accomplish in this game. Remember what got you here. See your efforts contribut-ing to the teams’ suc-ces,” the layers were told.
Those phrases and several variations were emphasized in a low key but very effective manner. The Ravens put their good inten-
tions into actions on the floor; supporting the ball and finding ways to help team-mates succeed whether it was by setting a pick at the right time or being first on a loose ball. Reilly Doney, Cole Gent and Max Nelson led the team defence. Burnaby didn’t stand a chance against this team effort.
Final score was 9-3 for the Ravens with Ross Rickman earning
Game MVP award for his hard work and two goals in this game.
Game 3Saturday morning
had the Ravens com-pleting round-robin play against Kelowna.
Since the division was broken into two pools of four teams each, winning two of the three round robin games guaranteed the Ravens a berth in the semi-finals.
U n l i ke O l y m p i c
badminton players, the Ravens wanted to win their round robin game to finish first in their pool and play the second place team from the other pool.
The local scouts didn’t know much about Kelowna other than they were almost a “throw-together” team that seemed to be on a roll. They had only allowed one goal in their first two games so the Ravens knew
they would be facing a strong goalie and great defensive team.
This game was one that exemplified good ol’ fashioned hard-work and commitment to team. Both teams were tenacious in their defending. Kel-owna had a couple of larger battleship-size players but the Ravens’ destroyers – Ian Hall, Connor Ludvigson, Jasper Osterhout-Code, Riley Wellman and oth-ers – were completely unfazed as they con-trolled their opponent into the boards and removed the ball from their basket.
If the attacker did get his stick free, goalie Will McLean was ready to make the first and even second saves. The final score was 7-5 for the Ravens as they went undefeated to earn first place in their pool to set up a semi-final game against Peninsula later Sat-urday night. McLean received Game MVP honours for his efforts in net.
During the tourna-ment player and team
recognition ceremo-nies at the end of the round robin, Morrison was selected as a divi-sion all-star and Well-man received a Fair Play award.
Semi-finalIf the earlier game
against Kelowna was a hard-fought game for the purists who love the sport, boxing fans may think of Ali against Foreman, the Saturday night semi-final game was just a battle along the lines of Ali versus Frazier.
The Ravens had beaten Peninsula two weeks earlier while winning the Vancouver Island regular season banner and it was easy to see that did not sit well with Peninsula.
The game started with Peninsula tak-ing an early lead and extending it to 2-0. The Ravens seemed to draw energy from the cheer-ing from their support-ers as they came back and took the lead into the third period.
At this point, Penin-sula seemed to focus more on playing the

man regardless of where the ball was or what the rule book said. One potentially late double-team hit near the Ravens bench seemed to be the straw that broke the cam-el’s back. The best response to something like that is to score goals on the power play but since none were forthcoming, the Ravens settled for run-ning the clock out.
Two sets of coinci-dental penalties pro-vided even more open space on the floor. Emotions were truly running high as the Ravens punched their ticket to the gold medal game, beating Penin-sula by a final score of 6-4. \Fair received his second Game MVP award of the tourna-ment.
The FinalSome may call it the
fickle finger of fate
or the good karma of sports but there were mysterious forces guid-ing events at this tour-nament as Kelowna beat Cranbrook 11-8 in their semi-final game to setup a rematch against the Ravens for all the marbles.
Both teams seemed a little tense for the early Sunday morning game as one may expect. Kel-owna tried to use their size to wear down the Ravens but this flock hangs together like no other. They kept run-ning the floor, forcing Kelowna to go back and play defence which took a toll on the Oka-nagan team.
As in the first game, spirited but clean play was the order of the day as each side strove to gain an advantage. The Ravens were trail-ing 4-5 with about six minutes left in the third period when the com-plexion of the game
changed. They had worked the ball to the heart of “the house” and Liam Rivett was able to put the biscuit in the basket behind the Kelowna goalie for the tying goal.
Unfortunately, the goalie suffered a seri-ous hip injury on the play. After several minutes of assessment from training staff, he required assistance from the floor. It was at this time that the Kelowna coaches and players personified and exemplified the true meaning of team spirit. As they huddled to discuss their options, a young man who had scored three of their five goals in this game and been an offensive threat in both games, offered to take over for the injured player.
F o l l o w i n g a n extended time-out to allow for the equip-ment swap and a
brief warm-up, play resumed. The Ravens immediately tested the new goalie only to find him as quick as his pre-decessor and with good ball-handling skills.
Kelowna was feed-ing off of this positive energy and launched s e v e r a l c o u n t e r -attacks. The Ravens withstood these as McLean made a few key saves to keep the score tied. After one flurry in the Raven zone, Lontayao got the ball and spotted Fair breaking down the floor. He lobbed a pass over the Kelowna defenders that Fair ran under and caught in full stride. He went in on goal, seemingly determined to put this one in…and he did.
Pandemonium broke out at the Ravens bench but they couldn’t cel-ebrate with a team fly-by as Kelowna imme-diately lined up for a
face-off. Kelowna kept trying to score a game-tying goal but they were thwarted by the Ravens team defence. As the buzzer went, the final score was 6-5 for the 2012 Bantam C gold medal winners…the Windsor Plywood Ravens.
Prior to the award-ing of the trophy and championship banner, Fair was informed that he completed a rare Game MVP hat-trick and earned Tourna-ment Divisional MVP honours as well. Con-gratulations to all of the Raven players including those who were injured or other-wise unable to attend the provincials: Owen Boyd, Dawson Brown, Thomas Dunn, Daniel Gilson, Brad Kennedy and Justin Kennelly. Each of them had many contributions to the team’s successes this season.
