Ferry fare increases have resulted in a combined estimated loss of $609 million in tax revenues, according to a new report on the economic impacts of BC Ferries.

The report, which was requested by a joint AVICC (Association of Vancouver Island and Coastal Communities) and UBCM (Union of B.C. Municipalities) special committee on BC Ferries, reveals that rising fares have contributed to a decrease in ridership which is hampering the provincial econ-omy.

“Ferry passenger volumes are strongly (negatively) correlated with fares, and fare increases contributed to passenger volume declines from 2003-2013,” reads the report.

“Foregone economic activ-ity resulting from ferry traveller declines from 2003-2013 repre-sents a reduction in GDP of $2.3 billion over the ten year period.”

The report also found that had fare increases been limited to

the rate of inflation from 2003 to 2013, it’s estimated that passenger volumes would have grown 19 per cent over the period, to 25.7 mil-lion in 2013 compared to the actual ridership of 19.9 million in 2013.

Jim Abram, Quadra Island direc-tor and a member of the special committee, said he was astounded by the findings.

“They’re shocking, just absolutely shocking,” Abram said. “What we were saying all along was validated. The entire provincial economy is affected, not just coastal communi-ties. And here it is, finally validated by a third party consultant.”

Coun. Claire Moglove, who sits on the UBCM executive, said what surprised her was how much BC Ferries is trying to recover through user charges.

“What really struck me is, the report talks about (how) BC Fer-ries recovers 92 per cent of its oper-ating costs through fares, which sounds great, but when compared to other transportation operations it becomes apparent where the prob-lem is,” Moglove said.

Life is Better in September


A large fire broke out at the defunct Elk Falls mill early Wednesday.

Campbell River fire crews battled the major structure fire through the early morning hours at the former Catalyst site.

Deputy f ire chief Thomas Doherty said the fire broke out near the top of what is now the Quicksilver LNG property, near the for-mer sawmill portion of the site.

“It was in an old sledge building which was all in for demolition,” Doherty said. “Contractors have been working on site there.”

Doherty said it was a security guard who called in the fire.

“At (12:46 a.m.) crews were dispatched to a report of a large outdoor fire at the site, and were quickly updated that the fire was actually a large, three-storey structure,” said Doherty.

“On arrival, crews confirmed the structure was fully involved with flames reaching 30 feet in the air. This particu-lar building was in the process of demolition, which created some additional risks that the structure could col-lapse.”

A total of 26 firefight-ers from both the down-town and Willow Point Campbell River fire stations responded to the incident and initi-ated a defensive attack on the fire to contain it from spreading to other buildings.

The f i re was so involved that it took

roughly four hours to bring the blaze under control and crews remained on site throughout the night and into the morning to ensure there were no

hot spots or additional flare ups.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Wednesday’s fire is not the first to break out since the mill shut

down.In May of 2012, a

spark from a welding or cutting torch ignited the second floor of the five-storey thermomechani-cal pulping building.

MIKE DAVIESCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

With the uncertainty surrounding the B.C. education system, extra seating was brought in for what was expected to be a “standing room only” situation at the first School District 72 (SD72) board meeting of the year Tuesday.

More than 50 con-cerned teachers, parents and students filled those extra chairs and jockeyed for position around the edges of the room as the board took their seats.

There were two main points on the agenda that night: To present the let-ter from the SD72 Board of Education to the B.C. government and presen-tation and approval of the Strategic Plan that will guide the board’s decisions and direction through 2018.

The Letter

The open letter to the community, addressed specifically to Premier Christy Clark, Minister of Education Peter Fass-bender, BC Public School Employers’ Association

(BCPSEA) Chief Nego-tiator Peter Cameron and BC Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) President Jim Iker, addresses the con-cerns the SD72 board has surrounding the labour dispute keeping schools closed.

According to the let-ter, “this board has been nothing but respectful and patient while watch-ing this issue continually erode…(but) we now feel that we need to send a strong message of dissat-isfaction in the ability to find a resolution to this dispute.”

The language and tone of the letter is tangibly one of frustration, an issue that was addressed at the meeting. Trustee Ted Foster raised con-cerns that the letter was aggressively pro-teacher, and that the board should adjust the language to be more balanced if wants to claim impartiality.

There was no impartial-ity to be had, however.

“Although we feel that it is inappropriate to com-ment or interfere with the teachers’ negotiations on wages and benefits,” the letter reads, “we do strongly support their

efforts to advocate for additional resources for the BC Public Education System and for additional services for students in the classroom.”

Those in attendance erupted in applause at multiple points in the proceedings, forcing Chair Michele Babchuck to pause in her reading of the draft. Those gathered responded positively to the statements, “we find it reprehensible that this government chooses to forward their own political gain by bribing the parents of B.C. with their own tax dollars,”

referring to the $40/day/child offer made earlier this summer, as well as, “we can no longer sit on the side lines and watch the merry-go-round of media, mis-information and posturing that seems to be impeding a settle-ment in this dispute and promoting chaos and confusion around the topic. We have been call-ing for the Government to fully fund public edu-cation and bring public confidence back into our system for a decade.”

Babchuck defended the tone and wording after the letter was approved.

“Yes, the wording in the letter is strong,” she said, “but I think the wording is also just.”

She said that if the let-ter sounds like the board is frustrated, it’s success-fully reflecting its over-arching attitude.

“In drafting the letter,” she said, “I was trying to reflect the opinions of everybody (on the board).”

She said that through-out the course of job action, the board feels that the role of school district trustees in the bargaining process has been diminished.

“Now that we have had our representatives and our negotiator removed from BCPSEA, we have very much felt like we’ve been sidelined a little bit. It was the thought of the board that they no longer wanted to be pushed to the sidelines,” she said, adding that she believes the response to the letter by those in attendance showed their apprecia-tion for what they’d done, “and I think it reflects their level of frustration around the lack of prog-ress, as well.”

The Strategic Plan

“One of the roles of the Board of Education is to plot the direction of the district,” accord-ing to Babchuck, which is why, every four years, the board proposes and approves a Strategic Plan to set out the framework that will guide future and ongoing decisions regarding education in the region.

That proposed plan was passed at the Sept. 9 meeting.

According to Bab-chuck, the Strategic Plan adopted at the meeting,

“is actually a continua-tion of the previous dis-trict Strategic Plan, and what this board has tried to do is to encourage the public to get involved a lot more.

“It’s the foundation that will help us in our bud-get-setting process, which is very collaborative with our various stakehold-ers, and how we deliver services to our students, staff, and within our community as a whole.”

The entire Strategic Plan will be available on the School District’s website at sd72.bc.ca for public perusal. Babchuck said one of the most important things for her is that the board be transparent and account-able for the decisions it makes.

“There’s a whole page in the report,” she said, “where I explain the pro-cess and how we came to the decisions we made,” adding that when people don’t know the process and reasoning behind decisions, it’s more dif-ficult for them to have any confidence in them. The Board of Education meets again Sept. 30 at 7:30 p.m.

SD72 sides with teachers, sets priorities


One of the many members of the public in attendance takes a look at the 2014-2018 Strategic Plan presented at the Sept. 9 meeting of the SD72 Board of Education.

“Washington State fer-ries recover 66 per cent of their costs through fares, BC Transit 33 per cent, Calgary Transit 50 per cent, and let’s go international - Norway ferry system recovers 67 per cent. Those figures really stand out to me.”

Peter Larose of Larose Research and Strategy, who was contracted to do the report, met with more than 400 local governments, cham-bers of commerce, ferry advisory committees and other stakeholders in coming to his find-ings.

He found that BC Fer-ries stimulates $1.8 bil-lion in expenditures in B.C. each year which produces $1.5 billion annually in total value-added (GDP) for the B.C. economy.

Of BC Ferries’ esti-mated $394 million in yearly taxation rev-enues, the federal gov-ernment receives $210 million, the provincial government $150 mil-lion and local govern-ments $34.2 million.

“For every $1 of tax revenues invested in BC Ferries, $8.40 of economic activity was generated – much of which is in communi-ties that are not coastal or ferry dependent,” the report reads.

Larose also found that between 2003 and 2013, fare increases and sub-sequent ridership drops resulted in a cumulative loss of $609 million in tax revenues, including $325 million to the fed-eral government, $231 million to the provincial government and $53 million to local govern-ments.

Abram said that’s con-cerning.

“It’s a very serious issue because (local governments) don’t have anyplace else to collect taxes other than property taxes and we can’t keep increasing property taxes,” Abram said.

Larose’s report also found that between 2003 and 2013, other forms of transportation are seeing increasing user rates of between five and 68 per cent, while BC Ferries has recorded a decrease of 6.8 per cent.

“Fe r r y r i d e r s h ip declines run counter to the trend of transporta-tion volume increases in most other modes of transport in B.C.,” the report reads, “including vehicles and air trans-

port.”Abram said the report

sheds some light on “the real impact” BC Ferries is having on all B.C. communities and presents a clear picture of how one change can have a trickle down effect.

Abram said UBCM is asking the province to reconsider its decision on raising ferry fares and cutting service.

“We’re looking for some fairness, we’re asking for another look, we’re looking for some sane conversat ion.

We’re willing to collab-orate with the province on this,” Abram said.

Moglove said her hope is to work with the province to develop a long-term strategy for the coastal ferry system.

“To be clear, the report is not meant as an attack on the provincial gov-ernment, but it’s meant to open a dialogue to start a discussion on where do we go from here,” Moglove said.

“The report goes a long way to show how important BC Ferries is to the economy and

we’re losing out.”Moglove said the sys-

tem is running counter-productive to the prov-ince’s goal of a strong economy and sustain-able jobs.

Delegates at the UBCM, which repre-sents 184 local govern-ments, will vote on the report Sept. 24 when the UBCM meets in Whistler.

The recommenda-tions include asking the province to put BC Ferries back under the ministry of transporta-tion and infrastructure.

Above ground blasting has begun on the John Hart generating station replacement project and will continue for the next two months.

Rock tunnelling is planned for October in preparation for under-ground blasting expected to get underway in November.

The blasts will make way for the new under-ground tunnel, which will replace the three existing water-carrying penstocks, as well as a new underground gener-ating station.

Stephen Wats ons , spokesperson for BC Hydro, said the blasts will go largely unnoticed.

“Blasts will be small, closely monitored and may occur day and/or night, seven days a week,” Watson wrote in a proj-ect update report. “All work will occur in safely fenced-off areas.”

It’s estimated that up to 300,000 cubic metres of rock will be removed from the ground over a two-year period and hauled to two different locations – one at Far-well Road and the other

at Middle Point. At its peak, six to eight

trucks per hour will be hauling to and from the construction site near the city’s water quality facility off Highway 28.

Meanwhile, a time lapse camera has been installed on one of the surge tow-ers to record the project’s progress.

Watson said the camera will be used to document the process.

“Each year over the next five years a con-struction video will be produced,” he wrote.

“The vantage will look up the penstock route, with clear views of both portals where under-ground works will be constructed.”

The $1 billion project involves a new seismi-cally sound generat-ing station and a single underground tunnel to carry water to the gener-ating station. Two of the three surge towers above the generating station will be removed, with one remaining for navi-gation and communica-tion equipment.

A project legacy, Hydro has already created the Station View Trail, designed to reroute Can-yon View trail users up

and around the gener-ating station which will be closed during decon-struction. BC Hydro has also built a new 80-stall parking lot for visitors to Elk Falls as the original parking lot will be inac-cessible once construc-tion moves into the area.

As part of that phase of the project, the Brew-ster Lake bridge will be re-built and is expected to be closed to traffic in

January 2015 for up to three years.

Interpretive CentreBC Hydro’s project

information centre has shifted its hours as of Sept. 2.

Through the fall sea-son, the interpretive cen-tre (located in the new Elk Falls parking lot) will be open Tuesdays, Thurs-days, and Saturdays from 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.


Blasting underway on John Hart project

The John Hart generating station, pictured above with the surge towers in behind, will be decommissioned and rebuilt underground.

U n i o n i z e d c i t y of Campbell River employees have rejected the last offer presented to CUPE Local 401.

D u r i n g a v o t e arranged by the pro-vincial Labour Rela-tions Board, 77 per cent of employees who cast a ballot voted no to an offer that included

wage increases of two per cent in 2014 (retro-active to January 1), 1.5 per cent in 2015, 1.5 per cent in 2016 and two per cent in 2017 (for a total of seven per cent over four years).

CUPE workers have already voted 88.3 per cent in favour of strike action, with 137 of the

161 permanent and auxiliary employees casting a vote, owever, the union has yet to implement a full strike.

City Manager Andy Laidlaw said the city is on notice.

“Whi le we have received strike notice and the union has implemented a ban on

overtime work, at this time, we do not have details from the union on whether there will be job action related to this vote,” Laidlaw said.

In the event of a strike, the city says it will focus work efforts on providing essential services such as water, sewer, public safety and emergency response.

“If a strike occurs, people can expect that facilities would be picketed and some would be closed, with related programs can-celled,” Laidlaw added.

The city will continue to provide updates regarding any change in service through news releases and post-ings on its website.

“We are sorry for any disruption caused by this labour dispute and look forward to resum-ing full service as soon as possible,” Laidlaw said.

CUPE members have been without a contract since Dec. 31 but talks were kept to a mini-mum until recently while the union gave the city time to deal with the Catalyst Paper situation.

“We have now been to the negotiating table 10 times, twice with a mediator, but the city is still insisting on con-cessions,” Gurrie said in a press release.

“While we are dis-appointed to have to take the strike mandate

route, we see no alter-native at this time.”

Recent settlements in other communities on Vancouver Island have included wage increases averaging 2.5-3 per cent per year in three-and- four year agreements.

Gurrie says the union has set up two more meetings with a media-tor for later this month in hopes of restarting meaningful talks with the city.

The Campbell River municipal workers provide quality public services as inside and outside workers at city hall, the airport, rec-reation centres, public works, waterworks and sewage treatment and RCMP.

City employees reject contract offer Indian Band, city partnership brings improvements for pedestrians

The city of Campbell River, in partnership with the Campbell River Indian Band, has installed more than one kilometre of new sidewalks on 16th Avenue and Highway 19A this summer.

Pedestrians can now travel on new sidewalks along the north side of 16th Avenue from Ironwood Street to Wal-Mart. There’s also a new route along the south side of Highway 19A from Wal-Mart to Dogwood.

“This is another great example of the city’s partnership with the Campbell River Indian Band along our shared boundaries. These improvements result in increased safety and security for youth, elders and commuters who use these routes on a daily basis,” said Coun. Ron Kerr, council’s First Nations liaison.

“Better access in this area comes at no additional cost to Wei Wai Kum or the city because funds were collected to support this type of infrastructure.”

Funding for the sidewalk installation in this area came from fees (Development Cost Charges) collected during the construction of Wal-Mart and Home Depot to support infrastructure improvements for the community.

“One of goals of the city’s Master Transportation Plan is to improve access for pedestrians on collector and arterial roadways,” said Drew Hadfield, the city’s transportation manager.

“These new sidewalks also help connect the downtown area with Campbellton, a key element supported in a recent walkability assessment of the area.”

Each year, the city builds on Campbell River’s sidewalk infill program throughout the community, which is paid for by development cost charges and federal Community Works funding.

Additional work completed this year includes sidewalks installed along 15th Avenue from Maple Street to Tamarack and along Spruce from 14th Avenue to Highway 19A.

There’s a new land-mark going up in down-town Campbell River that may have thus far gone unnoticed by many.

They’re not making a big show about it – as they traditionally cel-ebrate new buildings upon their completion – but the Campbell River Indian Band is hoping their new office building, which will be located behind Whites-pot off the south side of 16th Avenue, will be “another anchor build-ing for Campbell River,” according to band man-ager Ken Cooper.

Cooper said that over the past few years it was becoming increas-ingly obvious that the current office facilities were going to be unable to effectively serve the needs of the community and support the pro-gram offerings available and in development.

So in the summer of 2013, band council began exploring options for where would be best to situate a new build-ing, and which services it would house.

Once possible loca-tions were chosen, a community meeting was held to discuss the options and get input and feedback from the community.

At that meeting 75 per

cent of those in atten-dance agreed the 16th Avenue location was the best option, that the building should have a traditional First Nations feel rather than that of a modern office build-ing, and that it should be for administration as opposed to service offerings.

This means that the current facility will be renovated to house and expand the Kwanwatsi pre-school, and the main service hub for the community will still be centred around the Thunderbird Hall area.

Band administration, treaty negotiation, land code and economic development issues and offices will be housed in the new facility.

Because the band has its own land code, it didn’t need to go

through the processes that most large proj-ects in the area need

to engage in, such as design proposals being vetted by city or munic-

ipal councils, rezoning applications or infra-structure upgrades

requiring public funds. Cooper did say, how-ever, that the band and

the city have a very positive and collabora-tive relationship right now, and they are work-ing together effectively to ensure things like aesthetics and infra-structure issues are addressed in a syner-gistic manner alongside council.

“We’re hoping that this facility will be another example of the band’s commit-ment to the Campbell River community, and the flourishing of that community,” Cooper said, adding that they are very proud of the contributions they have made and continue to develop, especially in terms of economic development, such as bringing Walmart and Home Depot to town and Discovery Harbour and Marina.

Campbel l River’s Hannah Taylor was one of the fortunate few who got the oppor-tunity to attend the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saint’s Camp Barnard.

Repelling, snorkel-ling, dancing were just some of the many activities available at the Young Women’s Encampment which was held recently in Sooke.

A total of 450 girls aged 12 to 18 from around the province spent five days at the camp which is set on a beautiful 250 acre site with a small lake.

Taylor was one of the participants at the camp, which featured

physical, aquatic, cre-ative and spiritual activities.

“Two of my favourite activities were learning to arm knit and learn-ing to dance,” Taylor said.

“The camp was a lot of fun. I made new friends and got to reconnect with people I had met before.”

An exciting part of the

camp was the special guests who came both from within the prov-ince and from the U.S. Elder Paul Christensen, a general authority for the Church, stayed the full week, helping in all aspects as well as being a guest speaker and leading a question and answer session.

Elaine Dalton, former Young Women general

president, was another of the guest speakers.

Kenneth Cope and Calee Reed, both LDS musicians, also visited to present entertain-ment in the evenings.

They each shared not only their music, but also inspiring messages and stories.

“I got to meet Calee,” said Taylor, “and I liked her singing so much

that she is now one of my favourite singers.”

Lucy Rizo, former model and current precision car driver, travelled up from Los Angeles to present workshops on main-taining personal values.

“The camp has been fabulous,” said chair-person Brenda Molnar, “we have tried to pro-vide multiple opportu-nities so there is some-thing for everyone. Our goal was for each young woman to have an expe-rience where she would discover what she needed to do to come unto Christ. A highlight for me has been watch-ing the girls journal and see how they are having great experiences and can’t wait to write them down. I’ve also enjoyed watching their new friendships develop and see how they take care of each other and sup-port each other.”

This is the first time the Church has held a camp of this size and nature in B.C.

We’re lucky, in Campbell River, that the wilderness is our backyard, our front yard, and all around us.

We like most of the wildlife we encounter in the woods, but cougars haven’t necessar-ily been good neighbours lately.

Twice this summer teenage boys have reported being chased and stalked by cou-gars – one along the ERT road and a second

incident along the bike bath that runs behind the Sportsplex.There have been a number of cougar sightings around the

city this year, but whether the big cats are noticed or not,

they’re there. Conservation officers say Vancouver Island has a “high-

density” cougar population.Anecdotally, at least, encounters with the cats seem to be

on the rise. It’s caused some people to rethink their outdoor recreation, but we shouldn’t be so much scared, as aware.

It’s worthwhile knowing conventional cougar wisdom. If we see one creeping up, we should draw ourselves up to our full height, throw rocks and sticks and give it a thorough scolding. If a fierce feline attacks, we should fight back with indiscrimi-nate violence. As for our pooches, unfortunately they can look

like prey to a carnivorous cat and we’re best to let them fend for themselves. In the backwoods there are a lot of beasts and sometimes they might trespass on our trails, but they have as much right to be there as we do.

We’re bound to come across them now and then and really, there’s only a remote risk of any of those encounters deterio-rating into a bad day.

The great outdoors is our city’s best attribute and we can continue to enjoy it to its fullest as long as we’re cougar smart rather than cougar scared.

Cougars are on the prowl all around usOur ViewOur View

Cruelty is cruelty, regardless of the target or intent

We say: We need to be cougar-aware when enjoying nature

The brutal video that came out recently of Des Hague, the CEO of a multinational corporation, raised the ire of the social media world and caused his “resignation” shortly thereafter.

This isn’t an examination of whether social uproar should be a judge and jury, or whether the punishment he received for his actions was just, though.

This is a very quick discussion of how deplorable I see these types of acts and how we shouldn’t be tolerating it in a civi-lized society.

No, wait, I’m going to change my phras-ing. We shouldn’t be “not tolerating” it. We should be actively combating it.

People who treat others with violence and menace, the ones who beat other beings of this planet and subdue them

with cruelty, are just straight-up terrible humans. That goes for whether the one(s) they are treating this way are human or “beast.”

What right does one have to force feel-ings of pain, sorrow and fear on another? Nobody and nothing should be forced to cower.

The Paws for a Cause event held last weekend in Nunn’s Creek Park is the SPCA’s way of bringing attention to the cause of fighting animal cruelty, and I commend and respect them for that. They do good work, and I’m so glad that they are coming back to the community. See you at the grand re-opening?

At the heart of the issue of animal cru-elty, however, is the complacency I see in our society in response to cruelty in gen-

eral, and our indolent nature in terms of engaging with this topic when it comes to pets.

Every time we see someone jerking a leash when walking their dog, they are asserting power through violence and fear. Yet we just drive by and shake our heads in disgust instead of addressing the issue.

Let me be clear. I’m not advocating vigilante justice or anything. I don’t want people to be pulling over to the side of the road and accosting those poor souls who don’t see that what they’re doing is wrong.

I’m saying we need to have a serious dis-cussion as a society and decide the value we place on life and living with emotional pain. We need to encourage people to look at things in terms of minimizing the inflic-tion of damage we do to others, whether

those others are, as I said earlier, human or “beast.”

We need to support those who look at things in the seemingly-old-fashioned, “treat others how you would like to be treated,” way that we were all (hopefully) taught as kids.

Maybe we should celebrate people who live that way, and hopefully those who don’t will adjust their ways when they see, as another old saying goes, that you really do catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. I think we’ll eventually see less leash jerking, and less leash jerking will lead to fewer elevator kicks.

We can all agree the world would be bet-ter with fewer elevator kicks, right?

And less cowering. The world needs less cowering, too.

The school behind my house seems strangely silent. My thoughts turn to how both federal and provincial govern-ments with their three political parties appear to constantly waste my tax payments on subsidies for pipelines, corpo-rations and ideas like the Great Bear Rainforest instead of investing them in the health, education and welfare of its residents.

It seems to me that the one place in Canadian politics that is somewhat democratic is the individual municipality or regional district. That is because most of Canada’s cities and towns do not have fully functioning municipal political parties. Political parties and slates effectively silence dissent through party discipline. Peaceful dissent is a cornerstone of democracy. Indeed, the public expression of disagree-ment with majority-held views is the essential component of open democratic politics. I read that Campbell River is now endowed with a “slate” of candidates to address five issues confronting the town (Campbell River Mirror, September 5). While I may agree with the issues, I disagree with the need of the formation of a “slate” for their resolution.

Candidates are coming forward for our consideration.In some ways, the race is already on, leading up to the

municipal election Nov. 15. On that date, Campbell River

residents will be entrusted to elect a mayor, city councillors and school trustees who will represent us for the next four years.

Some people have indicated their intentions; many have yet to go public.

Candidates can’t formally declare until the end of the month, Sept. 30 at 9 a.m. and they have another 10

days after that (Oct. 10) before the deadline to hand in nomination packages.

We hope, most of all, that there will be strong candidates, but we hope also that there will be a variety of candidates.

At the moment, two of Campbell River’s seven city council members are women, six out of 13 on the Strathcona Regional District board, and five out of seven on the Campbell River and area School District 72 board.

Beyond gender, there can be a place at the council table for candidates of any age, ethnic background, sexual orientation, social standing or political leaning.

Rather than categorize and divide us, these diversities can create a broader perspective.

Compromise and co-operation are a part of democracy.Of course we realize that counting councillors by

gender – or any classification – is an oversimplification. Candidates will be judged on their merit, their

character, their priorities and promises, their strength and smarts, their motivation, their intentions.

We hope that this fall, voters will have the chance to elect just the sort of representatives we’re looking for, both men and women.

It’s okay rain, don’t listen to naysayers, I love you

We say: Diversity creates a broader perspective in our political system

When the rain started last week, there were cries of, “Nooooooooo! I’m not ready for summer to be over!”

There were a few, much quieter voices who said the opposite, but I have a feel-ing that in a few months, when it rains more often than it doesn’t (or seems that way, anyway), most of the latter will be gone, and people will generally be all gloomy about it.

Don’t take it personally, rain. It’s not their fault. They just don’t know you like I do.

Like anything, rain gets annoying when it’s just a constant in your life.

But think about all the constants in your life and how unhappy you would be without them [cue hopefully-light-

hearted joke about spouse/kids].Better yet, picture a winter full of kick-

ing through snowdrifts to get your mail and icicles forming on your eyelids from the driving wind freezing the condensa-tion of your breath to your face.

Picture having to listen to the radio in the morning to see if you’re allowed to go outside or if you’ll die if you do.

I’ve lived in that. More than once. For many years.

It’s more than unpleasant. A constant drizzle of rain does noth-

ing but make me question if I want to go golfing as often as I do in the middle of summer.

That’s it.I suppose it causes the roads to be a

little more slippery. Just slow down. It’s good for. You to

stop being in such a big hurry all the time, anyway.

Alright, so I guess, “It’s so much worse in other places,” isn’t a very good reason to be okay with something.

Well, how about this: Rain is life.We live in what could be considered

(and most of us agree is) the most beau-tiful place in one of the best countries in the world.

How do you suppose it got that way?The beauty and lifestyle we enjoy here

is a direct result of the rain that annoys us.

It causes the growth of the forests we hike in and it causes the streams we fish

in to flow down from the mountains we love looking at.

It’s the cause of all the reasons we love this place.

And it’s warm. I know, I did the temperature thing

already, but seriously, is there anything better than walking around in a rain that doesn’t chill you to the bone, face turned up to the sky, letting it run off your face and into the earth below?

A cleansing shower from nature. Rebirth. Growth.Next time it starts raining I’m going

outside to appreciate it. I hope I see a few of you out there

doing the same.

Take your three kids (or nieces, nephews, grandkids) and times that by 10 and you have the class size of an average classroom in B.C. At least one of those kids is being bullied, probably two or more are struggling with English as a sec-ond language, three is the allowable ‘numbered’ kids, four are not at grade level and should be ‘numbered’ and five are really eager learners. Throw in a couple that have A: come to school sick; B: a few more that haven’t had enough sleep or any breakfast; and C: maybe some with only a struggling and or depressed parent. This is why the teachers are on strike.

The classes are too large. Kids deserve better. Teachers I applaud you!

vvvvTo all the members of the BC Liberal Party:The courts have ruled twice that the government illegally

stripped funding that helped to ensure that class size and class composition was manageable. The number of special needs students that are not getting the help they need in the general education classroom is way too high, which directly impacts the learning conditions of all students in the class. The government needs to increase funding to the schools in order to ensure that class composition is manageable and that the needs of all the students in the classroom can be met.

Jacquie Clark wil l instruct evening classes and Joan Grimm will instruct daytime and children’s classes again this fall.

For people who already have experience working with clay, Pottery Drop-In takes place Fridays from 1 to 4 p.m. starting Sept. 19. Drop-in fee is $6 per person per day,

and families are welcome. You can also purchase clay at $18 per half bag.

Kids attending Grades 2 and up can also have fun with clay in a six-week program called Claymates. Claymates explores hand-building, sculpting, glazing and working with the pot-ter’s wheel. Monday or Wednesday classes run

from 3:30 to 5 p.m. and start Oct. 6 and 8. Cost is $80 per person. All pot-tery classes and drop-in sessions are offered at the Campbell River Com-munity Centre. For more information regarding classes, call the Com-munity Centre, 250-286-1161, or Sportsplex, 250-923-7911.

The city also offers pot-

tery lessons for commu-nity and school groups and children’s pottery parties for youth seven years and older to cel-ebrate a birthday or special occasion. A one-hour pottery class will be provided, with chil-dren making starfish or plaques, depending on the age of participants. Eight children can par-

ticipate in the party for a cost of $150.

To book pottery les-sons for your group, or a pottery party, call Linda Kubinec at the Commu-nity Centre at 250-286-1161 or e-mail [email protected].

Writers who want to brush up on their skills and get some feedback from peers may be inter-ested in a Writer’s Work-shop that starts this fall with the Campbell River Arts Council.

Jeanette Taylor and Annette Yourk will lead five bi-monthly ses-sions from October 4 to November 29 on Satur-

day afternoons from 1-4 p.m. at the Sybil Andrews Cottage in Willow Point.

Yourk and Taylor will serve as alternate facili-tators of this program, which is akin to a struc-tured writers group. Each session will include guided discussion and exercises on specific writing craft themes, along with an opportu-

nity to get and give peer feedback. The format for the latter will vary. Some weeks participants will read their work aloud in class in small groups. On other occasions partici-pants will submit writing in advance to get and give a more detailed response.

The instructors will g u i d e p a r t i c i p a nt s through specific writing

craft themes at each ses-sion, with exercises and discussion. Registrants should have specific writ-ing projects as the focus for class exercises, and they should be prepared to undertake some writ-ing between classes. For peer reviews, participants will take time to read and respond both in class and between sessions.

The fee for the Writ-ers’ Workshop is $130, which includes a binder of articles about writing craft. Register at Camp-bell River Arts Council at 250-923-0213. Check the instructors’ site www.thescribes.ca for more details. (While you’re there have a look at Tay-lor’s and Yourk’s blog, The Writers’ Study.)

CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) voted 99.4 per cent in favour of settling their issues through third-party binding arbitra-tion on Tuesday.

The BCTF says that as soon as the government agrees to arbitration, classes can resume, but a statement released by Minister of Educa-tion Peter Fassbender after the vote result was released said, “As we have consistently made clear, binding arbitration would lead to unacceptable tax increases in this case.”

And so, at this point, the two sides are still at a stalemate.

Relief is on its way for teachers struggling financially, however.

Recent announce-ments from the B.C. Federation of Labour (BC Fed), the B.C.

Nurses Union (BCNU) and others have been a boost to the coffers of the BCTF hardship fund.

T h e B C F e d announced Tuesday that its affiliates will contribute $8-million in interest-free loans to the BCTF to add to their hardship fund. President of the BC Fed, Jim Sinclair said the loan is an indica-tion of solidarity with the BCTF from its members.

The money will be earmarked for teachers who are experiencing financial hardship, not distributed as “strike pay,” but it’s a boost to those struggling most.

Sinclair and the BC Fed have also come out in favour of the arbi-tration proposal, along with 13 other unions representing approxi-mately 350,000 public sector workers.

Dog DaysThe BCSPCA held its annual Paws for a Cause at Nunns Creek Park last Sunday. The event is a fundraiser for the humane soci-ety and included a barbecue for participants as well as games and activities in the park before and after the walk. Pictured, several people took their dogs along for the four kilo-metre loop through the city’s downtown core. The walk began and ended at Nunns Creek Park.


Strathcona Regional District directors will move forward with purchasing an electric zamboni for Strathcona Gardens despite some skepticism from Mayor Walter Jakeway.

The board voted in favour of upping its budget and spending an additional $32,000 on a new, electric-powered ice cleaner despite objec-tions from Jakeway who was filling in for Direc-tor Larry Samson at the Aug. 28 board meeting.

Jakeway recalled that during the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics, an electric zamboni failed multiple times

causing a 70-minute delay in the middle of the men’s 500-metre speedskating event at the Richmond Olympic Oval.

“I just remember that there was a big hurry during the Vancouver Olympics to find a con-ventional ice machine when the electric one bought for some 2010 Olympic facilities failed,” Jakeway said.

“I don’t believe in pay-ing significant extra tax dollars for an electric ice machine when it will never pay out and is not used for long durations. I see it as a gimmick.”

Regional district staff, however, see it differ-ently.

Lorne Parker, opera-

tions manager at Strath-cona Gardens, said an electric zamboni could save $65,000 a year.

He figures that, on average, there are 2,000 ice cleans performed each year and the elec-tric model is expected to save $3.25 per clean, which equals $6,500 per year in savings, or $65,000 over its expected 10-year life span.

The zamboni’s battery is good for five years and costs $10,000 to replace but Parker said going electric will reduce maintenance costs.

“The main consid-eration with electric models is the reduction in operating expenses,” Parker wrote in a report

to the board. “Repair and maintenance costs for electric machines are significantly less.”

It should be noted that the Regional District is looking to purchase a Zamboni 552 whereas the ice cleaner that caused problems at the Olympics was an Olym-pia machine.

But Jakeway isn’t con-vinced.

He also questions the need to replace the cur-rent ice cleaner which regional district staff say is nearing the end of its life expectancy.

“I am hoping there were solid facts pre-sented justifying that the existing machine is at the end of its life,” Jakeway said.

“Ice machines are only used nine to 10 months per year so saying it is 10-years-old is some-what misleading. It is not operating in a harsh environment. With my industrial background, I am skeptical.”

Other directors did take Jakeway’s concerns into consideration last week.

Area D Director Brenda Leigh put for-ward a motion that the matter of the 2010 Olympic electric zam-boni failures be referred to the Strathcona Gar-dens Commission for further investigation.

That motion passed, but with directors Andy Adams, Craig Anderson and John MacDonald opposed.

The first rule of being an art teacher is never divulge to your students how you do your own art.

Artist and teacher Brian Scott, however, has agreed to do a dem-onstration of his paint-ing techniques as a fun-draiser for scholarships at North Island College Foundation.

The artist paints in the morning so the work-shop will take place in his Black Creek studio from 10 a.m. till noon this Saturday – kids and dogs are welcome.

Bring a notebook as Scott will outline his design strategies and techniques in both oil painting and acrylics.

He will demonstrate under painting, block-ing in, colour theory, and basic design theory.

Scott will also be dis-playing his private art collection and touring his studios and galleries.

Take the Hamm Road exit off Highway 19A and then take a right turn on to the Old Island Highway – look for the spirit bear and signs.

Scott has been paint-ing for 40 years; his first signed piece is 1974.

He was commissioned in 1979 to paint for Can-ada Tungsten Mining Corp in the North West Territories.

Hu s k y I n j e c t i o n Moldings purchased his colourful Vancou-ver Island paintings for its head office in Hong Kong.

Scott’s biggest client, however, is North Star

Trade Finance in Van-couver; wherever the company goes so do Scott’s pictures – most recently in the compa-ny’s new office in Lon-don (UK), Luxembourg and Houston, Texas.

Last year a painting had to be removed from the stretcher to be sent to Tel Aviv.

A painting of the old barn on Burns Road went to a client County Kildare, Ireland.

All monies collected from Scotts workshop will go to the North Island College Founda-tion.

All that money will then be matched by the Provincial Government.

To date, Scott has raised $18,000 plus matching grants for stu-dents.

When Scott was a student at Emily Carr College he received a scholarship and loves to see the big smile on student faces when they get a cheque from the foundation.

Campbell River fire-fighter Stewart Dumont and Marine Harvest’s Ian Roberts have received personal invitations to attend a groundbreak-ing celebration for the new Burn Fund Centre in Vancouver.

For more than ten years, Campbell River Professional Firefight-

ers Local 1668, Marine Harvest Canada, and the community of Campbell River have teamed up to fundraise for the BC Burn Fund. Dumont and Roberts are excited to see years of local effort help-ing to fund a project that will support burn and trauma patients from across British Columbia.

A portion of the money was raised by selling bar-becued salmon every year at Campbell River’s Canada Day festivities at Ostler Park.

In the ten years since salmon sales began, Marine Harvest and Local 1668 members have raised more than $20,000 for the BC Burn

Fund. Other events such

as the annual Fashion Inferno and Christmas Tree Chipping help make Local 1668 a valued con-tributor to the BC Pro-fessional Fire Fighters Burn Fund fundraising efforts.

The Burn Fund Cen-tre – to be built on the corner of 23rd Avenue and Main Street – will provide eight short-term, free of charge, furnished suites to help meet the current critical shortfall in accommoda-tion for burn and trauma patients and their family caregivers.

The Centre will also

offer supportive survivor programs and resources, as well as a retail space to help fund the ongoing operation of the build-ing.

While Dumont and Roberts are attend-ing next week’s ground breaking celebration, they know it is a team effort that helped fund-raise over the years.

“There have been many individuals who have helped at our salmon barbecue, and groups including The Fraternal Order of Eagles Ladies Auxiliary and Associated Tire have been integral to our fundraising efforts,”

said Dumont. “We wish everyone could attend the ground breaking cel-ebration, including every customer who bought a salmon burger in the last ten years.”

Lisa Lacamell, execu-tive director of the Burn Fund, is excited to host Marine Harvest and Campbell River firefight-ers at the event, and said the BC Burn Fund rec-ognizes that Local 1668 and Marine Harvest have been incredibly generous supporters of the Burn Fund.

“Your commitment to community is admirable and we thank you for your support of our orga-

nization,” Lacamell said. More than 85 per cent

of the funds needed to complete the Burn Cen-tre are already secured.

This includes an extraordinary $1.3 mil-lion in pledges from pro-fessional Fire Fighters’ Locals around the prov-ince, a donation of land from the city of Vancou-ver, $750,000 in donated services from Concert Properties, and a $4 mil-lion investment from the Province of British Columbia.

Marine Harvest BBQs helping to fund new burn centre

Curves of Campbell River is hosting an open house the week of Sep-tember 15-20 and new members can receive 30 days free, in addi-tion to a free workout. The open house week provides Campbel l River women with the opportunity to check out their local, all-new Curves and take some important ‘me time’ for themselves.

According to a new su r ve y c ondu c te d online by Harris Poll on behalf of Curves, almost seven in ten (67 per cent) women responded that they would like more me time in a given week for their personal interests and hobbies. Fitness and wellness activities such as going to the gym or exercising rank

among the top four ways to spend me time (according to an ear-lier survey), but nearly six in ten (57 per cent) women feel that typical gym workouts are often too time-consuming to fit into their schedules.

Cur ves, however, offers an efficient, effec-tive 30-minute option that allows women to work out with friends and still have extra me time for other hobbies and interests.

During the open house week, non-members will have the opportunity to work out for free on the Curves c i rc u i t , i nc lu d i ng experiencing Curves Workouts with Jillian Michaels, which are full body workouts that change each month.

Those who join that

day will receive 30 days free on their member-ship.

“As women look for ef f iciencies amidst busy fall schedules and aim to maximize their me time, a 30 minute Curves workout is the perfect option,” accord-ing to Mike Raymond, chief marketing officer at Curves International, Inc.

“The circuit affords women a great full-body workout while still leaving time for other personal interests. We encourage prospec-tive members to come and check us out this month, to see what’s new and different at Curves.”

Curves of Campbell River is all new with many new offerings including the addition

of Curves Workouts with Jillian Michaels, new lifestyle apparel, protein bars and des-sert bars as well as new state-of-the-art circuit equipment.

For more information about Curves, contact Curves of Campbell River, located at 919 Ironwood Rd., at 250-287-8379 or [email protected] or visit www.curves.com

Note, enrollment fee required. Offer expires Sept. 30 and requires joining same day as first workout for a minimum 12-month recurring bill-ing contract. Enrollment fee and monthly fees vary by location.

DrivewayCanada.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat

City commuter handles the northern roadsSubcompact cars are set up to be basic transpor-tation with emphasis placed on low cost and great fuel economy. That said, you might think they are all a bit boring and not very fun to drive or even very interesting to look at. This is not the case on the 2014 Ford Fiesta: it has had a face-lift and features more standard options than in the last model year. Usually little sub-com-pacts like this come with more plastic than a TV sports reader. The Fiesta feels different. You do get some plastic to be sure but the dash has softer materials and some of the plastic around here actually looks and feels good. For the price ($19,990 as tested), driving the Fiesta feels a bit naughty, as if maybe you have stolen a more expensive car than you can actually afford. I would love to be able to afford an Aston Martin as my daily commuter car but at this point in my life that is not an option. With the redesign, you do get the Fusion / Aston front-end styling. Now some people might say, “Well it looks too much like an Aston.” Really? That’s like someone telling a girlfriend that she looks too much like Scarlett Johansson; you’re not really going to complain, are you?

Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying it drives or feels like an Aston but it is great fun to drive, handles our roads very well and all the tech options needed to keep your eyes on the road are available. The SE model I drove came with Bluetooth, satellite radio, navigation, power locks, windows, and the My Ford Sync.I drove the Fiesta around Prince George and practicality wise it didn’t skip a beat. As I live downtown, anywhere I go in my daily life I am always driving right through the heart of the city. When I headed out

to the hockey rink, I was able to put all of my goalie equipment into the back, no problem. Parking in cities is increas-ingly becoming a premium. Parking a sub-compact like the Fiesta was a breeze even without a backup camera! As some people with larger vehicles will know, parking at places like malls in and around the city the spaces are tight with not a lot of movement space for bigger vehicles. In addition, of course, it does get worse in wintertime when the snow is piled high. With that in mind, how will it handle our winter roads?The Fiesta has good ground clearance for a smaller car and handling our

winter roads should not be a problem. Of course, you would want to invest in a good set of winter tires.Beyond the city limits, out on the highway, heading south it handled the road well, with enough get up and go for good passing power when needed.It’s quite roomy for a small car. There’s room for three in the back seat as long as those passengers are not of a larger body type, if I may delicately put it that way. If you are of a larger body type, there is plenty of room in the trunk, if you desperately need a ride at that exact moment. (Just kidding.) But it does tell you the trunk is also roomy! Verdict: No complaints. For a sub-com-pact, you get great tech options, great fuel economy, in a car that doesn’t feel like you are driving something as inexpensive as it is. It’s fun and zippy for driving around town or highway driving. If you need a small car as a

daily commuter or it’s your second car to accommodate a bigger SUV or truck, I would recommend taking one out for a test drive to see if it fits for you in what you are looking for in a car. The Fiesta right now for me is tops in the subcompact class.View our Ford Fiesta video review online at DrivewayCanada.ca

The front passenger seat can also fold forward and allows Flex to swallow 3-metre (10 ft) long object, with its liftgate closed. Flex can also have an impressive max towing capacity of 2,041 kg (4,500 lbs), when properly

Flex is a short name for a big Ford utility/wagon type vehicle that can accommodate six or seven people with ease and seat them with an impressive degree of comfort. Made in Canada, Flex is a hard-to-categorize vehicle that was introduced for the 2009 model year. Not a car, a minivan or an SUV, Flex borrows from them all, so the ‘crossover’ tag is also very appropriate.Stylistically the Ford Flex dares to be different. What appears at first glance to be a simple two-box design is actually more complex. It has generally straight styling lines yet there are no sharp corners. Its two-tone paint finish is separated by the dark centre greenhouse section, which gives Flex a distinctive ‘floating roof’ appearance that’s also appealing. On the inside, even with all its seats upright there’s still 566 litres (20 cu ft) of cargo space in the back.

equipped. Originally (in 2009) Flex just came in SEL and Limited trim levels and all-wheel drive was a ($2,000) optional offering. The only engine was a 3.5-litre V6 engine that can deliver 262 horsepower at 6,250 rpm and 248 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,500 rpm. It’s mated to a six-speed automatic transmission and drive goes to the front wheels. Highway fuel economy is surprisingly good 8.4 L/100 km, but the city rating is a much thirstier 12.6 L/100km. Two changes came in

2010 in the form of a new (lower-priced) entry level SE trim version of Flex and the other was a new optional 3.5 litre V6 EcoBoost engine (Limited trim only). Turbochargers and direct fuel injection allow this engine to provide V8 like

power, yet still offer it still offer V6 fuel economy. The MyKey security feature and an AutoFold 60/40 bench seat were both added as standard equipment in all Flex trim levels.A new top-line Titanium

edition of Flex was added to the product line in 2011. It comes with the V6 EcoBoost engine and all-wheel-drive. And other than a switch to a centrally mounted rear windshield wiper there were no significant changes in 2012. The 2013 edition of Flex got a mid-life styling refresh that included a slicker new front-end treatment plus minor improvements to both engine offerings.Safety ratings are all top-notch and this, plus high owner reliability ratings, has helped put the Ford Flex on Consumer Reports “Recommended” list of vehicle buys. Although

not as fuel-efficient, the standard 3.5 litre engine reportedly has fewer problems compared to the newer and more powerful turbo-charged V6 engine option. Ford Flex not only looks different, it is different … and it’s a Canadian! Polarizing (love/hate) styling lines provide an interesting wrapper for what is actually a very practical family vehicle. Safety Recalls: 2009 to 2013 Ford Flex:2013: The fuel delivery module may develop a crack, which could allow fuel to leak. Dealers will replace the fuel delivery module.2013/2014: The right-side halfshaft retention clip may not have been fully engaged. This could allow the halfshaft to separate and result in a loss of motive power. Dealers will inspect halfshafts for full retention and affect repairs as necessary.

Bigfoot sparked monster truck madness By Ian Harwood

When I first started my career in the off-road and truck accessory business I was a young and impres-sionable 18 year-old.I was impressed with some of the successful off-road shops in the US but I wondered how they had become so succeeded in business. One that came to mind was Midwest Four-Wheel-Drive & Performance Centre, owned by Bob Chandler, creator of the legendary Bigfoot monster trucks. Back then large off-road tires for pickups were not available; this forced Bob to think outside the box and looked to the agriculture industry. He bought a set of 48” tall Firestone tires and along with some custom made wheels; he mounted them onto his truck. People from all over the states started talking about his truck. He was invited to

car shows and tractor pulls and that started drawing attention from the four wheel drive magazines. His shop also started to grow rather quickly with all the new interests in 4x4 mod-ifications. A mechanic in his shop gave the truck the nickname Bigfoot because of the way Bob would drive it, heavy foot on the gas pedal. I was looking through one of those magazines and saw a small picture taken from just outside the shop bay door. It was his truck with 66” tall Goodyear tires. I remember thinking he was crazy. After that the monster truck craze began. I was fortunate enough to meet Bob at a trade show in Las Vegas. His truck was there on display and he was outside sitting at a table having lunch. I approached him, not recognizing him in his cowboy hat and asked if the spare seat was taken. Very nice man, he

shared with me some of his frustrations with parts breaking and how he ended up custom building a lot of parts in his own shop. Other people started building their own trucks and soon side-by-side competition began. There were crazy names for these trucks such as; Goliath, Taurus, King-Kong, Grave Digger, and Samson. It was a big thrill for many just to see these trucks drive slowly over some junk cars. They would stop in the middle and get out a wave. Soon fans wanted to see more, so the trucks would pop a wheelie before crush-ing them. Two cars became eight and then buses. I saw Taurus drive up several cars and onto the roof of two double decker buses. The truck came very close to rolling off, but after a few adjustments to the rear steering he climbed along and then off. The suspension of that time was

more about lift height to accommodate the largest tires rather than full sus-pension travel which came next. The Baja race trucks could handle large jumps without any trouble, so the monster trucks started the change. Massive coil over shocks and four-point suspension that could handle the weight and abuse these trucks would dish out. Now the monster trucks could hit the cars at tremendous speed and fly through the air impressing all. Bigfoot #18 holds the Guinness World Record for the longest jump by a Monster truck at 214’ 8”. The popularity of these trucks continues to grow to this day and with more advanced technology who knows what the next wave of Monster Trucks will look like?

Monterrey, CA. – Looking at the specs, it doesn’t seem too impressive.A 1.6-litre engine, 116 horsepower, 100 lb-ft of torque, a 0-100 km/h time of less than nine seconds, 14-inch tires. Heck, my bicycle has bigger rubbers! Okay, maybe not. But 25 years ago, the Mazda Miata was a product of those numbers. It wasn’t necessarily endowed in the engine department.However, the two-door roadster did have everything else on its side. A sleek design, a peppy personality, a brilliant red coat and something that other cars have strived to achieve in their two-door roadsters over the years but have fallen short – longevity.At a quarter century old, the Miata/MX-5 has achieved incredible success. Close to a million of these drop tops have been sold worldwide. The Miata/MX5 holds a Guinness Book of World Records title of as most successful two-seat convertible roadster in history. Not bad for a car that packs in so many thrills for under $30K.Over the years, the front-engine, rear-wheel drive car continued to encourage the masses to drive topless. Whether through a rag or hardtop, this specimen of automotive manufacturing and design allowed people to feel the proverbial wind in their hair within seconds.I felt it as a kid as my mom was lucky enough to be one of the first Miata owners in BC when they came out in 1989 – a red one, of course – and took me out for rides frequently.Those memories have stayed with me over the decades, though I’ve been able to form my own bond with the car.Not only have we (meaning, the various MX-5s I’ve driven in the last in 11 years) put down thousands of kilometres

A sleek and peppy roadster for the peopleand sheds 100kg in the making.It also embodies the KODO or “Soul of Motion” design language.This two-seater also comes with sexy character lines from its four corners. Furthermore, up front, you’ll notice its headlights that look like they’re eyeing its prey; unlike the first generation’s pop up/down headlights that were more than welcoming.Like with all-new models of anything legendary, there will be a polarizing reception. Some might think it’s too radical. Some

might fall immediately in love with it. And some will wait to drive it to make up their mind.Regardless of the way it looks – which certainly helps its cause – it’s really about how you feel on the road, behind the wheel, and when you tuck it in at night. More details about the MX-5 are scheduled to be released at this year’s Paris Auto Show.Either way, I can’t wait to drive it.

‘‘The Miata/MX5 holds a Guinness Book of World Records title of as most successful two-seat convertible roadster in history.’’Alexandra Straub

together, we’ve also been paired up at the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca for the Skip Barber Racing School experience a couple of times.Nostalgia is one popular element of its appeal, but there’s an undeniable fun factor. Whether racing it on a track or just taking it to the grocery store, the first turn you carve in it will rope you in like an infomercial in the wee hours of the night when you can’t sleep. But in the case of the MX-5, you won’t have any buyer’s remorse.Fast-forward through the years and you’re now viewing the fourth generation MX-5.And what better way to welcome the roadster to the stage here in California than via a little band called Duran Duran. And through a live satellite stream that was broadcast here, and abroad in Spain and Japan.The reasoning? – Both the English music group and the roadster came into popularity in the 80s and continued to succeed and grow in status over the decades. Besides, “Rio” is an incredibly catchy tune to dance to!That said the MX-5 has a new, eye-catching look to it. Not many specs have been released though I can tell you this: it’s lower, wider,

Ill-named but a luxury car for real

‘‘The Kia K900 has all the refinement and features found in cars with a longer pedigree in the luxury space but this car offers it at a discount.’’Zack Spencer

trip with my family I’m more impressed with Kia than I have been before but the realist in me knows Kia isn’t a luxury brand, at least not yet. LooksThe K900 is an unfortunate name, it begs the question is this a dog? No, it is a full-size car about the same size as a 7-series from BMW or S-Class from Mercedes Benz. The K900 is based on the same platform as the Hyundai Equus but differs in price and content. For a full-sized car with limo-like dimensions, the K900 starts at a remarkable $49,995 for the V6 model and $60,995 for the V6 premium model. The top V8 model is $69,995. The styling is strong, especially the top V8 model seen here with LED headlamps and taillights and very North American looking chrome multi-spoke

Differing definitions of luxury in the automotive market are truly reflected in the eyes of the beholder. To one person it might be having all the refinements and gadgets available in a modern car accompanied with a smooth and quiet ride. To another buyer it might just be about the name on the front of the car, letting all to see it that the owner has “made it” establishing a certain status in society. For many it’s a combination of both. Enter the new Kia K900 luxury sedan from Kia. It has all the refinement and features found in cars with a longer pedigree in the luxury space but this car offers it at a discount. Then the name on the car comes into play. Is the Kia K900 a car anyone aspires to own? Well, after a weeklong

wheels. The rear doors are huge and Kia has done but good job of keeping the proportions of the car in check while grafting Kia’s signature Tiger Nose grille. The rear bumper and lower air diffuser looks especially chunky, almost mimicking the Lexus LS and its integrated exhaust tips.InsideEvery person that sat in the K900 was blown away with the refinement, fit and finish and especially the materials used. The V8 test model had leather covering the front of the dash and piano finish on the wood trim accented. Add in tasteful chrome and aluminum, dark, rich wood on the steering wheel and centre console and the K900 looks like a million bucks. The front and rear seats came with ventilation and V8 models have a rear seat

reclining feature. Despite spending countless hours behind the wheel travelling with two children in the back, the car offered a very relaxing ride for the passengers, and the kids especially liked the cooled seats on a very hot day.

The centre infotainment screen is controlled with a rotary dial in-between the front passengers and is very similar to Audi’s MMI system. DriveThe V6 model comes with the very competent 3.8L engine that puts out 311hp. having tried this in other Hyundai/Kia products and it is smooth and powerful. The V8 is superb, with 420hp coming from a 5.0L V8, there is no lack of power. The shift in the auto industry is to smaller engines that utilize turbo charging but Kia is sticking with good old engine displacement to get the job done. Covering more than 1,000km, the real world fuel economy was 12L/100km on the highway. To say that the K900 is smooth and quite is an understatement, I would put this car up against the new S-Class from Mercedes and a blindfolded passenger would have a hard time distinguishing the difference. What does become apparent is the K900’s lack of steering feedback to the driver and cornering ability. On Highway 3 from Hope towards Penticton the K900 wallowed in the switchback corners, it really didn’t like it at all. Driving back on the Coquihalla was a different story; the K900 shines in open road cruising, making it a wonderful long road trip companion.

An Escalade worth the waitCadillac recently held the introduction of its all-new Escalade in the heart of Toronto, specifically the heart of Yorkville. This upscale slice of Toronto real estate is home to spendy shops, exclusive restaurants and luxurious ho-tels. This is a place to be seen or be seen in a vehicle that projects the image one wants to portray. Media guests for the Escalade launch stayed at To-ronto’s very first boutique hotel, The Hazelton. As one Torontonian put it, “that’s about the fanciest place in town.” It certainly draws an upscale crowd of rich people, or posers, looking the part. With a steady lineup of Ferrari, McLaren and other exotics parked outside, Cadillac was front and centre showing off its new full-size luxury SUV to a young, well-healed crowd of Toronto socialites and business people.

LooksGetting a full-size truck into a boutique hotel is like trying to park in one of those parking spots labelled “small car”. To get around this, the party part of the launch was held on a garage rooftop, transformed into a nightclub, complete with gourmet finger food, fancy

cocktails and live performers, including the requisite fire-twirling entertainers. There was even an Escalade-inspired golf cart to shuttle guests to the roof. The star of the show was the all-new 2015 Escalade, a vehicle Cadillac hopes will make up about 20 per cent of its overall sales. With a $6,000 price drop and very competitive packages, they hope even wealthy shoppers will stop to see the value in this SUV. It sure got attention, thanks to the fabulous LED projector headlamps and taillights. The angular shape is very contemporary and the sleeker sheet metal looks up to date.InsideThe Escalade has always made an impact when it arrives at any destination; the sheer size and attitude it projects says a lot about the person driving it. It is inside that needed to be refreshed the most, and the attention to detail Cadillac infused in its new truck should pay dividends. Any luxury buyer expects leather, wood, and smart infotainment and Cadillac delivers on all of these. The dash and doors are cov-ered with hand cut leather. The open-grain wood and contrasting interior materials like faux suede all make it look as rich as the buyer expects. Front and centre is Cadillac’s CUE entertainment system that I find easy to operate and interact with. The buttons below it are touch sensitive, there are no knobs or switches. The front passengers just swipe over the surface to change the volume and heat controls. DriveOne reason to buy a big truck-based SUV is to move people in numbers or tow a trailer to a cabin or cottage. That latter experience came with the drive portion of the Escalade launch, driving north of Toron-to to The Briars, a 100-hectare resort on the edge of Lake Simcoe. This family run complex includes a huge stretch of lake frontage, golf course, pools, tennis and activities for all ages and the Escalade fits right in. For moving a large family around in comfort, the

Escalade is wonderful as there is plenty of room to stretch out when the long wheelbase (ESV) model is chosen. Granted about 70 per cent of all buyers choose the shorter wheelbase as it looks less imposing and some might not need the interior vastness. Under the hood is GM’s premium 6.2L V8 with a whopping 420hp and 460 lb.-ft. of torque. This might seem like overkill but this larger engine can switch off to just four cylinders under light load, more often impacting fuel economy. The power goes to just the rear wheels, all four wheels or automatically controlled, all by a switch on the dash. My experi-ence driving for the day returned about

12L/100km in mostly highway driving. Not bad for a big truck.

VerdictThe new Escalade adds about $10,000 worth of new equipment like standard magnetic ride control for a more nimble ride. The cabin is much quieter, for doing big business deals on the phone, and the ride overall is much more refined than before. Starting at $79,900 the Escalade is for the well healed, but Cadillac representatives told me that most buyers shoot for the moon and buy the top Premium model for $90,500. The new Cadillac is fresh and much more refined, with features like never before. Do young wealthy buyers like the Cadillac brand and where it is going? The short answer is yes. GM claims this is the fastest growing luxury brand in Canada and B.C. is a hot spot for the Escalade. It has been seven years since we’ve had an all-new Escalade… the wait was worth it.

‘‘ It has been seven years since we’ve had an all-new Escalade…the wait was worth it.’’Zack Spencer

VerdictThe K900 is Kia’s very first pure luxury car and they got a lot right. The interior is as good as anyone in the marketplace and Kia does it at a substantial discount to the competition and power isn’t a problem especially with the big V8 available. But there were a few problems. The automatic lock and unlock feature on the outside doors only unlocked. This is probably a quick fix but an issue and the Bluetooth audio didn’t work either. Another stumbling block is the lack of all wheel drive (AWD). In this segment almost all vehicles sold come with AWD, in fact most companies only offer it. The market for this car is a happy existing Kia owner wanting to upgrade to something more and that is where the V6 model comes into play. Kia might not sell many of these cars but they have it for sale to show anyone that is interested that they can make a true luxury car, maybe not in name but in features and [email protected] LowdownPower: 3.8L V6 with 311hp or 5.0L V8 with 420hpFill-up: 15.7L/10.3L/100km (city/highway V8) Sticker price: $$49,995-$69,995

COPS FOR CANCER

7x4.5PROCESS

Race fans were treated to a great showing of drifting and drag racing last Saturday at Saratoga Speedway. Six drifters and 12 drag racers put on a great show under a beautiful clear Septem-ber night.

The final round of drifting saw some new faces.

After some early elimi-nations, Torry Slater and Dustin Taylor found themselves in the finals. Slater and Taylor drifted bumper to bumper in the finals, but Slater in his ’89 Nissan 240sx from Victoria prevailed to take home his first ever drift-ing event win.

Andrew Otteson and Reece Lucas battled it out for third and fourth place, with Otteson man-aging to beat out Lucas.

In the final round of drag racing, cars ranging from small Honda Civ-ics, pro drag bikes and old Chevy trucks enter-tained.

Al l vehicles went through a heads up

format, eliminating cars early from contention.

Gord Fraser in his 1969 Ford pickup and Bruce Moran on his Suzuki bike fought for the win, with the win going to Moran, his first drag event win of the year.

Extra laps...

Next weekend, cham-pions will be crowned at Saratoga, though two championships are already all wrapped up going into the weekend.

Sheldon Hopp holds an commanding 470 point lead over second place Cam Edward, making it mathematically impos-sible for Edward to catch Hopp in the Crash to Pass.

Chris Beaulieu has the I.M.C.A Modified divi-sion wrapped up, hold-ing a 351 point lead over second place Travis Ste-venson.

The Bomber car class is still up for grabs going into next weekend, but Darren Larson holds a

strong 256 point lead over his brother Darrel Larson.

The other three cham-pionships are still up for the taking going into the weekend. In the roadrun-ner division, Nick Leavitt is looking to claim his first ever championship at Saratoga, holding a 95 point lead over Ryan Guest. The Hornet A championship will come down to two young tal-ented drivers – Nigel Neufeld and Raymond Fortier who are separated by only 17 points. In the Hornet B’s, four drivers are still in the running for the championship – Boston Larson, Luke Dixon, Rowland Westra and Ashley White – with only 161 points separat-ing all four; Larson holds the lead going into the weekend.

With all these champi-onships being so close, next weekend is one not to be missed. Racing action will be capped off by a season-ending fire-work extravaganza.

Fernando Pereira/SPecial to the Mirror

Trucks and cars of all makes and sizes took part in a drag racing com-petition at Saratoga Speedway on Saturday night.

Saratoga Speedway’s last weekend

The Campbell River Eagles youth foot-ball teams travelled to Courtenay last Saturday to take on the Comox Valley Raiders to open another season of action football.

The Peewee Eagles found themselves in a David vs Goliath battle as they were forced to play with only nine play-ers versus a Courtenay squad fielding 23.

It was Ironman football at its best.

Unfortunately, the Eagles came up short with a final score of 24-6.

“I am very proud of the way the team played,” says head coach Kevin Meier. “We had several players who had never set foot on the football field.”

The Eagles had out-standing performances by quarterback Cole Dumont, running back Riley Cook and full back Josh Weld. All three also had stellar performances on d e fe nc e . C o ok was awarded the first coaches’ MVP game ball of the season.

The Eagles Junior Ban-tams were also forced to play some Ironman football, fielding only 12 players for some exciting 11-man football.

The Eagles were led

by starting quarterback Casey Klettke who found the end zone three times, en route to a big 26-0 vic-tory.

“I am really proud of the way the team played,” says Meier. “They were facing some tough odds against a Raiders team fielding twenty-four players.

“They played very solid defence, especially on a goal line stand late in the third quarter that had the Raiders with a first and goal situation from the five yard line.

“The offence ran their

plays well and even when the play broke down, Casey (Klettke) was able to keep his composure and pick up positive yards.”

Other outstanding per-formances came from starting running back/safety Tearlach “T-Man” Thompson, full back/defensive linemen Tomas “Tank” Foge (with his first two sacks of the sea-son), wide receiver/ cor-ner back Chris Rendall, rookie tight end/corner back Hunter Yon and centre and middle line-backer Ethan Wold (who

had two interceptions on the day).

Klettke received the MVP game ball.

Both teams are looking for players - peewee play-ers between the ages of 8 and 11 and junior ban-tam, 12 to 13-year-olds.

Interested players can register any practice night Monday, Tues-day or Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m. at the por-tables beside the field at Timberline Second-ary School. The Eagles program is also always looking for experienced coaches.

Despite only having 12 players to make the trip down to Courtenay, the Eagles Junior Bantams shut out their opposition in their season opener 26-0.

Eagles open season on the road

Registration is now open until Sept. 30 for the 2014/2015 season of Campbell River Co-Ed Volleyball.

The league is open to all adults and runs from Oct. 20 to March 31.

Games are played Mon-

day evenings between 7:30 and 9:30. A com-petitive A division and a more recreational B divi-sion are run concurrently throughout the season, for those who don’t take themselves and their vol-leyball quite as seriously.

Individuals or full teams can find out more information or register for the season by visit-ing www.crvolleyball.ca or e-mailing [email protected] or by calling 250-286-0560.

Preference is given to

full teams but individuals will be accommodated where possible and are encouraged to join the league Facebook group CR Volleyball.

R e g i s t e r q u i c k l y, though, as they only have room for 12 teams.

Co-Ed Volleyball registration open

Thousands of people around the world have received relief from breath-related illnesses using a simple set of breathing techniques anyone can learn in a few hours.

Now Campbell River residents are being offered a three-day course in Buteyko Breathing, developed by a medical scientist and used successfully to treat asthma, allergies, insomnia, anxiety, even colds and the flu.

The weekend inten-sive course is offered Friday to Sunday, Octo-ber 3 to 5, at River City Therapeutic Centre, 1720 14th Avenue.

The course is taught by Christine Bauman of Victoria, one of Can-ada’s leading breath-ing coaches, president of the international Buteyko Breathing Edu-cators Association, and known on the Island as the Breathing Lady.

Breathing seems like the most natural of human activities, but, according to Bauman, in our busy world many people over-breathe or hyperventilate, just like some folks who eat too much or drink too

much alcohol.Proper breathing

produces more energy, better sleep, clarity of thought and peace of mind. The Buteyko method is used in 15 countries around the world and has been clin-ically proven in medical trials at the Foothills Hospital in Calgary.

For more information about the Campbell River course and the Buteyko method con-tact Chris Bauman at 250-858-4211or [email protected] or at www.breathinglady.com

Discovery Pier in Campbell River is a place where the locals and tourists come to sh and enjoy the culture that exists each year. The weather and shing continues to be good as we head into the second week of September. 18 salmon were recorded on the scoreboard at the pier and some nice catches in the last week of August. On August 13th Mel Adams landed a 22 lb spring, August 24th Alex Imach got a 34 lb spring an on September 5th Matt Evans caught a nice 18 lb spring. During the month of August there was very little rain in the area and the locals were coming out to enjoy recreational shing. People who spent the time shing usually caught something.

At the Tyee pool, there have been 8 Tyee caught to date

and the anglers and rowers look to be in for a very

disappointing season.

On the west coast, shing and

weather have been excellent and anglers this year have had a very good season, especially at the Conuma River and Bajo Reef. Some coho are staging in the lower pools and rain is needed to move the sh up. To the south there has been good shing at Tribune Bay, Denman Island and Kitty Coleman and th green can has been steady shing for springs and coho and lots of sockeye are being caught north of Campbell River.

At the local lakes, anglers who can nd a spot, are using power bait and gulp eggs to catch trout and on the hot days we have had many getting down deep with a hook and worm.

To say the least shing for pinks this year was very

good and those after the little salmon caught their limits. Those who shed the Campbell, Quinsam and Oyster Rivers had a chance to sh the rivers while the weather remained hot and dry. Currently the rivers are very low and rain is badly needed.

The pinks are coming to an end the y anglers are waiting for the coho to arrive. Sport shops carry a wide selection of y pattern and most

popular colored ies are blue and green.

Help sow the seeds of Campbell River’s future urban forest this fall by participating in an online survey and attending open house events.

The first of two open house events will be held from 5:30-7 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 25 at the Campbell River Museum (470 Island Highway).

The survey link is posted on the city’s web-site (www.campbellriver.ca) under What’s New.

“The City and Gre-enways Land Trust are working together to develop an urban for-est management plan, and we’re now looking for public feedback,” said Ross Milnthorp, the city’s general manager of parks, recreation and culture.

The first phase of Campbell River’s Urban Forest Management Plan was completed in

2013, and included an inventory of tree caopy. The second phase will establish guidelines and actions to preserve and enhance Campbell Riv-er’s urban forest, includ-ing plans for canopy cover growth, new tree planting, tree health and maintenance, tree pro-tection and budgeting.

“A key part of this sec-ond phase is to hear from community members about the key issues that affect Campbell River’s urban forest today and how best to develop community-supported targets for future canopy cover and any proposed tree management bylaw,” said Erin Nowak, opera-tions manager with Gre-enways Land Trust.

“All of the community’s trees, vegetation and soil contribute to the urban forest, and this provides a wealth of social, eco-

nomic and environmen-tal benefits to people who live in urban communi-ties,” Milnthorp added.

“We want to make sure these important assets are valued appropriately relative to other forms of civic infrastructure and to keep these natu-ral assets thriving in an urban setting.”

Findings from Camp-bell River’s urban forest inventory include:n Campbell River is

home to 3.4 million trees. n Canopy cover across

the entire city boundary is 58 per cent; within the developed Urban Con-

tainment Area (UCA), it is 33 per cent. n Relative to the North

American average of 27 per cent canopy cover, Campbell River is per-forming well. n With 2,800 street

trees in the city, the most common species are flowering cherry, red maple, Norway maple and katsura. n Campbel l Riv-

er’s street trees have a replacement value of $2.2 million.n Each tree provides,

on average, $67 worth of ecosystem services annually in the form of

carbon sequestration and storage, greenhouse gas emission reduc-tion, stormwater inter-ception, air pollution removal, energy savings, increased commercial activity in business areas and increased real estate value.

n For every $1 Camp-bell River invests in street trees, the community receives a return of $4 in ecosystem services.

Additional informa-tion about the Urban Forest Management Plan is posted on the city’s website under Parks,

Recreation and Cul-ture / Urban Forest. The direct link to the survey is: www.surveymonkey.com/s/CampbellRiver-UFMPsurvey
