A single vehicle ended up on its roof after leaving the road-way and landing on the beach Tuesday evening.
The incident occurred around 6:43 p.m. near the intersection of
Hilchey Rd. and S. Island High-way.
RCMP officers determined that the vehicle, a Toyota FJ Cruiser, was traveling south on the high-way when the driver lost con-
trol and veered left. The vehicle went over the curb and crashed through bushes before reach-ing the beach. It then landed on several logs which caused it to overturn. The 53-year-old male
Campbell River driver was trans-ported to hospital via ambulance with unconfirmed injuries.
No names have been released and the incident is under inves-tigation.

The chief of the We Wai Kai First Nation is not pleased the Strathcona Regional District may seek heritage protection for the Cape Mudge Lighthouse.
Chief Ralph Dick says the land surrounding the Quadra Island lightstation belongs to the We Wai Kai/Cape Mudge Band and he doesn’t understand why the Regional District is trying to pro-tect a lighthouse it does not have direct access to.
“We want them to just butt out, we don’t want them involved at all,” Dick says. “They can’t get at it by road or water, it’s our land all around it, so we’re quite upset they’re trying to muscle in there.
“We’re planning to keep it the

way it is, we’re not planning to rip it down or anything because it’s of value to us.”
The staffed, fully-f u n c t i o n i n g C ap e Mudge Lighthouse is one of four stations in the Strathcona Regional District and could be nominated for protection from demo-lition or sale by the Canadian Coast Guard through the Heritage Lighthouse Protection Act.
In order to be nomi-nated, a petition with 25 signatures must be submitted to Parks Canada.
The Regional District considered a report last week to nominate the Cape Mudge, Chatham Point, and Lookout Island lighthouses for heritage designation but directors asked for more information and will re-consider any action next month.
Dick wants to see t h e C a p e M u d g e Lighthouse protected but doesn’t want the Regional District’s help.
“We’ve been at this a long time and now one of these Johnny-come-latelys come in and try to take over,” Dick says.
“They didn’t even consult with us and (instead) they go in and do whatever they please.”
Jim Abram, vice-chair of the Strath-cona Regional District Board and an advo-cate for lighthouses and their keepers for 25 years, says he only has the best interests of the lighthouse in mind and although the surrounding lands are owned by the First Nations, the lighthouse itself is not.
“The building is owned by the Coast Guard and will con-tinue to be owned by
the Federal Govern-ment no matter what,” Abram says. “Even if the (We Wai Kai) First Nations claimed the land as theirs, it would still be owned and operated by the Coast Guard, it’s part of their mandate.”
Abram says he fig-ured Dick would be happy to see the light-house acquire heritage status.
“It’s got nothing to do with the land or title or Aboriginal rights, it just has to do with the building itself,” Abram says. “He knows as well as I do that the Coast Guard is our worst enemy as far as lightstations are con-cerned.
“They’ve never done anything that could quantify as favour-able towards lightsta-tions.”
Dick says the bot-tom line is “we just don’t like things being rammed down our
throat” and the We Wai Kai feel the Regional District has taken them for granted.
Battle for landThe two acres of
land the Cape Mudge Lighthouse sits on was expropriated from the We Wai Kai First Nation by the Govern-ment of Canada in 1898 “in a private trans-action behind closed doors and without the knowledge or permis-sion from our ances-tors,” Dick says.
The First Nation has been in dispute with the federal govern-ment for more than 50 years over the land and improvements but recently the govern-ment offered the land back.
Dick says the We Wai Kai were unable to accept the land back because it had suffered from contamination.
However, the govern-ment this year com-pleted a clean-up of the land and again offered it back.
“They gave it back to
us but we didn’t accept it right away because of some conditions our lawyers were not happy with,” Dick says.
The We Wai Kai and
the federal governmentare still currently innegotiations to reacha settlement but Dicksays he can’t commenton any specifics.

Westgate Road residents to see construction
Residents along Westgate Road can soon expect traffic delays.
City council approved the tender of the Westgate water main project to Wacor Holdings of Campbell River on Tuesday, which will get the ball rolling on construction.
The project is the “replacement of of the existing watermain between Westgate and Highway 19A,” said Ron Neufeld, city manager of
operations. “Parts of it are in excess of 60 years old.
“Staff have responded to water main breaks but also water service
breaks.”The project
will cost the city $540,508 and comes with a 15 per cent contingency fund in the event
crews come across unforeseen deficiencies once they go underground.

Political campaign signs will be absent from the city’s water-front this November when the municipal election campaign gets underway.
An amendment to the city’s sign bylaw to ban election candidate signs along the water was given first, second and third reading at Tuesday’s city council meeting.
“I’m one of the cul-prits who wanted this because of what I call ‘sign pollution’ during elections,” said Coun.
Roy Grant. “I think the whole idea here, in my opinion, is that all election signs should be on private property. That’s what I’ve done in the past.”
Provincial, federal, municipal election, as well as any referen-dum signs are banned from public property along the ocean side of the Island Highway between 1st Avenue and Ocean Grove Road under the bylaw change.
Coun. Andy Adams, who was not in atten-dance at Tuesday’s meeting, brought for-ward his concerns over
election signs in May.He said at the time,
election signs were taking away from the city’s natural beauty.
“I’d like to look into some sort of bylaw to protect our waterfront from being littered with signs as it was in the last municipal election, which was an embarrassment to our community,” Adams had said.
The Supreme Court of Canada ruled in 1993 that a municipal-ity cannot ban election signs from all public property but the City of Campbell River already has a bylaw
that prohibits elec-tion signs from public parks.
Peter Wipper, city clerk, said taking that into account, it seems reasonable that the city “should continue to ban election signage on park property and this could easily include the city’s waterfront walkway.”
Mayor Charlie Corn-field didn’t see the need for the new rules.
“It’s personally never bothered me. It’s in such a short period of time, as long as they’re cleaned up afterwards,” Cornfield said. “I think signage is a necessary
tool for candidates to get their name out.”
Election signs can
be put up in Campbell River for the Nov. 26 city election as of Oct.
4 and must come down no later than seven days after the election.

An outpouring of opposition to a neigh-bourhood re-zoning prompted city council to drop the homeown-er’s project.
B a r r y F o r b e r g wanted to re-zone his property at 367 S McLean Street to allow a secondary suite in his single-family home but council refused to give him the okay.
“There’s so many not in favour of this re-zone that I will not support it,” said Coun. Ziggy Stewart at Tues-day’s council meeting.
A total of 25 let-ters from residents
all within 100 metres of Forberg’s home were sent to City Hall, strongly against the re-zoning.
After attending a neighbourhood meet-ing in Forberg’s garage in June, most came away with the impres-sion that the secondary suite would turn the home into a duplex.
“The suite is not an ‘in-law suite’ as I initially thought, but a complete re-make of the lower level of the house, complete with private park-ing, private entrance and completely inde-pendent laundry and household services,” said one neighbour
Ron Dworski in a let-ter to the city. “In my opinion, it was more akin to a duplex rather than a suite.”
Coun. Roy Grant questioned whether there was some mis-c o m m u n i c a t i o n between the city and the neighbours.
“This is simply a sec-ondary suite,” Grant said. “I’m wondering if possibly staff might have given the wrong information or impres-sion to the neighbours because of the number of letters that men-tioned a duplex.”
He also acknowl-edged that this is not the first time people have fought change in their neighbourhood.
“Often times when there’s a re-zoning such as this there are sensi-tivities, especially in neighbourhoods such as this where the char-acter has already been
established,” Grant said.
Just last month, a pro-posal for a subdivision on Jacqueline Road was similarly defeated because neighbours put up such strong opposition, believing it would alter the atmo-sphere of the area.
Neighbours of the most recent re-zoning proposal also worried about Forberg’s inten-tions to re-locate to Alberta and the prob-lems that could arise with having what they called an ‘absentee landlord.’
After reading all the letters from neigh-bours, council refused to make any motion, including to send the proposal to a public hearing, effectively defeating the re-zoning application.
Forberg can re-apply for a re-zone in six months.

Rivercorp is working with Catalyst Paper to bring work back to the shuttered pulp and paper mill site.
Since the company announced the per-manent closure of the paper mill last July, there has been much discussion over what to do with the Catalyst property.
Most recently River-corp has taken up the crusade to help Cata-lyst find a new tenant.
“Some things are inherently confiden-tial, but I can openly say we’re working with Catalyst to help them in whatever way possible to bring back business to that site,”
said Vic Goodman, Chief Operating Offi-cer of Rivercorp, the city’s economic devel-opment body.
Rivercorp’s second quarter operations report acknowledges the organization is working with Catalyst to identify and attract possible light and heavy industrial firms to bring their business to the old mill site.
Rivercorp has also been helping Catalyst with research and facilitating meetings between the two par-ties.
This is the second time in just a few months that the issue of how best to utilize the land has come up.
In March the city floated the idea of using the for mer mill site, and nearby ash dump, as a new municipal landfill site
to accommodate the near-capacity Argo-naut Road dump.
A group of nearby residents strongly objected to that pro-posal and the idea of having a garbage dump on the ocean.
The site will likely not be conver ted into a landfill after a report from consul-tants, prepared for the Regional District’s solid waste committee, recommended the dis-trict look at different options for waste man-
agement.Catalyst has not made
any move to dismantle the former mill site or clear out the area, leaving it available and ready for another industrial operation.
Catalyst said last year it chose to close the Elks Falls site, just north of the city, because of a decline in commodity paper mar-kets and uncompetitive labour and tax costs.
In its heyday, the mill employed more than 1,000 workers.

OpinionOpinionWHO WE ARE: The Campbell River Mirror is published every Wednesday and Friday by Black Press Ltd., 104-250 Dogwood St., Campbell River, B.C. V9W 2X9. Telephone: 250-287-9227; Fax: 250-287-3238. EDITOR: Alistair Taylor
August is sometimes seen as a “summer doldrums” period, but such has not been the case on world eco-nomic markets, with stock markets in free fall, com-
modity prices falling and the U.S. credit rating being downgraded for the first time in history.
While Canada does have many advantages, it is far from insulated.
As Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said on Friday, before Monday’s major selloffs, “Canada is not an island. We
are a trading nation, with about a third of output gen-erated by exports and deep linkages with the U.S. econ-omy. The global economic recovery remains fragile and
this uncertainty may eventually impact Canada.”The softness of the economy can be seen in many
areas. High gas prices all this year have affected con-sumer spending. Governments at all levels continue to want more tax dollars (including more gas tax) from taxpayers, most of whom are making no more than they were three years ago.
These and other factors have kept people from spend-ing money the way they did in the mid-2000s. Money isn’t as easy to come by, and there is no sign that good times are coming anytime soon.
There is no doubt that the economy is changing, and where it is going is pretty hard for anyone to predict. However, all of us are part of a global economy which
has been hit by many challenges in recent years, fromthe U.S. subprime mortgage mess to European govern-ments being unable to pay their debts.
More of these types of unexpected occurrences willcome along, and Canada will have to deal with the fall-out as it affects businesses and individuals, and ulti-mately governments, in this country.
All of it can be overwhelming, yet at the same timethere is room for optimism. Canadians have weathereddifficult times in the past, and Canadian attributes ofhard work, caution and innovation can come to theforefront again. But that is no reason for Canadiansnot to proceed with a great deal of caution.
– Black Press
Canadians not insulated from fragile economyOur ViewOur View
A task force should study the hypocrisy of it all
We say: At the same time there is room for optimism
Good point: Can limitThe semi-recent limit to our garbage pickup has left
me in a conundrum. I exceed the one-can limit every week, or should I
call it the 3/4 can limit? We are a family of four withtwo being teenagers as well as weekend visits frommy daughter and son-in-law. It is not unusual for meto walk into my house to find my kids and their friendscrowded around the living room drinking slurpeeswhile they hang out socializing. I am quite often leftwith 4 or 5 large slurpee cups sitting on my coffee tableor if I am lucky on my kitchen counter.
My point is, it is tough to meet the weekly limit inour household. I understand the city is trying to forceus to amend our ways, and we had, long before thelimit was enforced. We always recycled anything thatis recyclable. My husband faithfully packed it all upand sorted it, then delivered it weekly to the Strath-cona recycling bins. We bring back all our bottles to thebottle depot and we even used our composter out backso in a nut shell we had made every effort to help keepour garbage waste down to a minimum.
Now times have changed with the one-can limit. Iwon’t say we don’t recycle anymore because we do.However, now our routine includes trips to the landfillto dispose of the excess garbage. What are we supposedto do with it? We do all the right things and still exceedour limit every week.
The conundrum? Are you wondering what it is now?
So here we have it, reported in both papers recently.
There was a great deal of donations to support a dog show, tireless radio coverage of amateur sports, support for blood donor clinics, special Olym-pics, cops for cancer, money for an environmental project, art apprecia-tion day, heritage day, family fun day, all overshadowed by the total oblit-eration of hope for the homeless and working poor of Campbell River and a big slap in the face to the founders of Hope Outreach Society.
This is all thanks to the not-in-my backyard attitudes and the lets-have-another-coalition driven city hall.
There is just cause to suggest that the City of Campbell River and many of the citizens here don’t turn their backs on show dogs, sports, mental
handicaps, cancer, the environment or families.
But they certainly have no time for, say, the dogs of homeless people, the environment where people live in tents and under tarps, the poor kid who cannot eat three meals a day so certainly cannot afford sports equip-ment, the malnourished anemic min-imum wage worker who has to miss work and therefore misses earning his rent money, the high percentage of marginalized people with mental conditions who did not have support-ive families or coaches, or the people on welfare or disability pensions who are fighting cancer.
Hope Outreach offered just that; hope beyond conventional limits due to years of failed policies and whacky priorities by “leaders” who
make decisions about these issues by chronically appointing task forces that take agency workers out of their offices to attend expensive and end-less workshops. Those workers then come up with strategies for problems in this area but don’t want to see it out their windows or near their busi-nesses.
Who are these people? How did they end up homeless?
Why aren’t they staying in a shel-ter?
How can they be employed and hungry and homeless?
What obstacles are preventing them from getting off the streets and into housing?
These are the questions we really need to learn the answers to and you do that by hanging out with the Hope
Outreach Society on site, not sittingin a conference room jacking up anexpense account.
Why is the City of Campbell Riverspending money – a significantamount of money – task forcing andwork-shopping the issue to death?
Shame on us for politicizing home-lessness, shame on us for not facili-tating hope that food, clothing andemotional support can and will beprovided out of a van run by twoolder Christian women from a con-sistent location while you are all inyour workshops talking about it.
The little green van with the yellowcross and the big word “Hope” hasbeen run out of your neighborhood.
Maybe the next workshop for our“Homeless Task Force” should beabout the hypocrisy of it all.

Council made no move to merge the Maritime Heritage Centre and the Camp-bell River Visitor Cen-tre at its meeting Tues-day night.
The Maritime Heri-tage Society asked council to consider re-locating the Visitor Centre to the Maritime
Heritage Centre which they felt was a better location.
“It is the opinion of the Maritime Heritage Society Board that this proposal is a win/win for all involved, and would create a tourist focal point that will enhance tourism for the benfit of the mer-
chants and service providers of the Camp-bell River area,” Marv Everett, president of the society, told coun-cil.
Everett went on to say the Visitor Cen-tre is “poorly located” and said the Maritime Heritage Centre could be upgraded to accom-
modate the extra ser-vices.
However, Rivercorp advised council that the Maritime Heritage Centre is not an appro-priate location, citing difficulties for large vehicles to access the centre’s parking lot and its distance from the centre of town.
On Tuesday, council refused to make any kind of motion, effec-tively defeating the proposal.
“ I f ( t h e r e ’s n o motion) we’ll stay with Rivercorp,” said Mayor Charlie Cornfield after asking council if any-one would like to make a motion.
I’ll tell you what it is, I am slipping. I find myself more often throwing away card-board waste or used cans.
I know, I am a horri-ble earth friendly citi-zen. I feel guilty about it but truth be told my busy life has me cut corners and when I am packing up the kitchen waste I find myself
throwing things away that could be recycled because I know we are headed to the landfill. Please don’t scream and shout, I am being honest and I don’t throw recyclable items away all the time but the day before and the day of the landfill trip I am more likely to cut corners.
Any good recycler knows it takes time to recycle. To fold up
boxes, rinse cans, yogurt containers etc. It is much faster to stomp on cardboard and throw it away or shove the yogurt con-tainer in the garbage.
Don’t get me wrong, l ike I mentioned already we still recycle 90 per cent of the time but I do find myself slipping. We used to recycle 100 per cent of the time.
I suppose trying to
keep ourselves in a two-can limit was already challenging enough and the challenge to stay within the two-can limit motivated me to always recycle. Now the city expects the impossible.
When you are fight-ing a losing battle sometimes it gets dis-couraging and I have slipped.
My question is...can I be the only one? If I
am not...and maybe I am...but again if I am not, what has the city accomplished?
Even if I didn’t slip on the odd occasion we haven’t reduced our garbage, has anyone else?
In one year’s time I would love to know the stats of garbage waste at the landfill, has Campbell River changed their ways?

Snow pack is melting
The snow pack is now almost gone and water inflows into the Campbell River system have dropped off over the past week, says BC Hydro.
“The Upper Camp-bell Reservoir/Buttle Lake water level is slowly declining from its peak and BC Hydro can now reduce the Campbell River flow below the John Hart Generating Station for better recreation fish-ing access,” Stephen Watson, spokesperson for Hydro, announced Wednesday.
The Upper Campbell Reservoir hit a high of 220.1 metres and now sits at 219.85 m.
With water inflowsdropping off, BC Hydrowill reduce the Camp-bell River flow from 85cubic metres per secondto about 60 cubic metresper second by Monday.Power generation willbe reduced by aboutseven m3/s per day.
“The drop of about 25m3/s from the currentCampbell River flowwill provide recreationusers with better riveraccessibility for nearlyone month,” Watsonsays. Beginning in mid-September, BC Hydrowill slowly increaseriver flows to lower thereservoirs in anticipa-tion of the fall rainsand for flood risk man-agement.

Determining Vehicle Speedfrom Yaw Marks
When a vehicle is in yaw it is rotating around a vertical axis through it’s center of mass. The long, curved Y shaped marks left by the tires on the pavement were characteristic of this motion. If they were striated and of constantly diminishing radius they were of great interest for collision reconstruction because the vehicle’s speed could be determined from them. A series of chord and middle ordinate measurements were made of the outside front tire mark at regular intervals starting where the outside rear tire started to track outside of the path of the front tire. These measurements were used to calculated the radius of the curved tire mark and the series was compared to insure that the radius was continually getting smaller. If so, this was a true yaw and combined with the co-effi cient of friction for the road surface, the vehicle speed could be calculated. For the simplest case, a fl at road, the equation speed equals 11.27 times the square root of the front tire mark radius multiplied by the co-effi cient of friction of the road surface would yield the speed of the vehicle at that point of the yaw in km/h. This equation and the method of measuring the yaw was exhaustively tested when I was a collision analyst. We would gather for training sessions, usually on an airstrip somewhere, and one of the senior reconstructionists would induce a yaw in our test vehicle while we measured speed with radar. The outcome of our calculations agreed closely with the measured speed. The author is a retired constable with many years of traffi c enforcement experience.

RENÉE ANDORCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The Driftwood Club of Campbell River invites the public to help celebrate its tenth anniversary on Sun. Aug. 21. from 1-4 p.m. at the Sybil Andrews Cottage next to Frank James Park.
Entrance is free, and artsy activities involv-ing driftwood and a couple of other medi-ums will be abundant including, a building demonstration of a driftwood arbour; rock painting and group canvas painting for kids; and Driftwood Club co-founder Mary Teer will construct one of her famous hob-bitats.
There will also be a cake cutting at 2 p.m., as well as tea. People can check out the newly renovated Sybil Andrews Cottage and the art displayed there.
Teer said she is look-ing forward to the cel-ebration, and is happy with what the club has given to the commu-nity over the years.
“We’re really quite excited that it’s gone that fast, and we’ve accomplished a lot in ten years,” said Teer. “It’s been such a fabu-lous group of inspira-
tional women.”The Driftwood Club
has donated numerous art pieces to local non-profit groups to use in fundraisers, as well as donating money they
fundraise. Some groups the club has helped over the years are: the Maritime Heritage Centre, the Campbell River Hospice Society, the Rotary Club, and
Cops for Cancer amongothers.
Rock jewellry andsome other driftwoodcreations will be forsale at the event and20 per cent of the pro-ceeds will go into theDriftwood Club fund,then be distributed tosome of these groups.
The club also tookinitiative to save andrestore Sybil AndrewsCottage by creatingthe Sybil AndrewsHeritage Society. Reno-vations on the cottagefinished in late April/early May.
And of course, drift-wood creations willbe displayed all overthe property, as that iswhat the Driftwood isall about – the love ofdriftwood and havingfun.
“I always think(pieces of driftwood)are like clouds in thesky; every shape, everysize, no two alike,” saidTeer.

As summer peaks in Paradise Mead-ows, programs at the Strathcona Park Wil-derness Centre are in full swing, with con-tinuing special events for Strathcona Park’s Centennial year.
The centre is located at the Paradise Mead-ow s t r a i l h e a d t o Strathcona Park, and is operated by the Strathcona Wilder-ness Institute (SWI), a non-profit Society. The Centre, adjacent to Mt Washington Resort’s Raven Lodge, is staffed for visitor information on Saturdays, Sundays and holiday Mondays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.; as well as on most week-days, thanks to volun-teers.
S W I p r o g r a m s include Nature Walks & Talks of about 2 hours. Level 1 Hikes are 3-4 hours with a guide, for all ages. Level 2 Hikes are 5-7 hours with a guide, for intermediate hikers. Level 3 Hikes are 8-10 hours, for fit hikers only. Centennial Events are special pro-grams for Strathcona Park’’s 100th year.
On Saturday, the Centennial focus will be at the Buttle Lake area of Strathcona Park, as SWI joins the “Strathcona Wilder-ness Festival” at the Price Creek trailhead. Everyone is welcome from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m to celebrate the Park with all-ages activities from hiking to story-telling. For more information, and for transportation options to Buttle Lake
visit www.friendsof-strathcona.org
For Sunday, BC Parks and the Accessible Wil-derness Society have organized a “Family Fun Day for Every-Body” at the Paradise Meadows trailhead to Strathcona Park. Strollers, wheelchairs, and walkers are espe-cially invited to try the 2 km barrier-free Cen-tennial Trail. From 12:30 – 3:30 p.m., dis-plays, video and music will inform and enter-tain the whole family. Terry Thormin, pho-tographer, birder, and entomologist will be
the volunteer guide for the Strathcona Wilder-ness Institute with a nature walk around the meadows at 1 p.m.
Strathcona Wilder-ness Institute pro-grams will continue the following weekend, with a strenuous Level 3 Hike to Mt. Allan Brooks on Sat. Aug. 27 at 9 .m., with guides Steve & Marlene Smith of SWI. This eight-hour hike is mostly off-trail, with some bush bashing and steep snow fields. “Sturdy boots and hiking poles are a must. As it is steep terrain, hiking fitness
is advised!” says vol-unteer guide Marlene Smith. “Gather at the Centre at 8.45 a.m. to get details. Well-behaved dogs on leash are welcome.” Pre-reg-ister at [email protected] as the group size is lim-ited to 15 people.
For those who want a more leisurely appre-ciation of Strathcona Park, on Sun. Aug 28 there are two pro-grams: at 10 a.m., join well-known nature photographer Chris Carter for Great Photo-Ops in Paradise Mead-ows – an excursion into
the meadows looking for interesting subjects and compositions - no camera needed. This Art & Nature Talk & Walk will go rain or shine – in fact damp weather can be opti-mum for flower photog-raphy. In the afternoon at 1 p.m. join SWI direc-tor Lindsay Elms for a Strathcona Park Cen-tennial presentation: History of Strathcona: Stories of the Park. Elms is an experienced mountaineer & author of Beyond Nootka: a Historical Perspective of Vancouver Island Mountains.

RENÉE ANDORCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Keegan Tab-erner is not your average
high school student.The 17-year-old
Campbell Riverite is planning a sailing adventure to Hawaii and back after he graduates from Tim-berline Secondary next June. But this is not just a big trip; it’s a big trip with a big cause. Taberner has had juvenile (type 1) diabetes since he was two years old, and his mission is to raise as much money as he can for diabetes research through the trip dubbed Keegan Taberner’s Sail for Juvenile Diabetes.
He is already plan-ning the trip and look-ing for companies to sponsor him, as well as donations from any-one and everyone who would like to support his mission.
“It is a little ways away, but I want to start getting the word out there, getting it in everybody’s head to help spread the word,” said Taberner. “I do need to get some fund-raising done between here and then because I want to raise quite a
bit of money.”He will leave from
Campbell River and travel down as far as Puerto Vallarta, Mex-ico, before heading over to Hawaii, U.S.A., then back to the Strait of Juan de Fuca and
up to Campbell River, travelling about 16,000 kilometres in total. He plans to leave on June 26 and return on Dec. 30 – about six months in total – which he admits is quite fast for the distance he will
travel.“It’s definitely not
a cruising trip; it is a trip to get the word out there and spread the message,” said Taberner.
Taberner will have help in his quest to
spread the message; he plans to find two shipmates to come along with him on the trip. He has talked to a couple of classmates about it, but hasn’t settled on who it will be quite yet.
Taberner has been around boats since he was a kid, going “cruising” with family and friends. He was recently certified by the International Sail and Power Associa-tion, and plans to take
more sailing courses during the school year. He also plans to buy a small training sail boat to take for overnight trips in the Discovery Islands.
“I am going to spend the next year get-ting more experience because you can never have enough,” said Taberner. “I want to spend some time in heavier winds – stuff that might be a little bit unexpected, but you might find out there.”
Taberner will then upsize to something “blue water ready,” meaning a 36-40 foot sail boat equipped for the open ocean.
Along the way Tab-erner will be stop-ping in communities to spread the word and fundraise for the disease. He said this cause is very impor-tant to him because of his first hand experi-ence with juvenile diabetes.
“I’ve lived with it for 15 years basically,” said Taberner. “I know what it’s like and I just want to help all the kids out there and try to make a difference.”

Keegan to set sail for juvenile diabetes
RENÉE ANDOR/THE MIRROR
Seventeen-year-old Keegan Taberner plans to sail 16,000 kilometres in the Pacific Ocean when he graduates Timberline Secondary School next June. He is doing the trip to raise funds and awareness for juvenile (type 1) diabetes, which he has had since he was two years old.
Want to be outside, active, and educated at the same time?
Then come experi-ence the Ripple Rock Ttrail with Museum summer students Delaney, Melissa and Chris as your guides on Wednesday, 9 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. The trail
itself is approximately 8 km round trip and will take about 3.5 hours to hike.
If you plan to attend you should bring water, sunscreen, a hat, a snack, bug spray and wear good walking shoes and apparel.
There will be a stop at the bluff at the end of the hike for lunch and or a snack and of course, enjoy the panoramic view of Seymour Narrows.
The trail skirts along the shore of Menzies Bay and Nymph Cove all the
way up to the bluff looking over Seymour Narrows. Ripple Rock was a twin peaked mountain that lay only nine feet below the surface of the water at low tide. Dur-ing tidal changes, the massive amount of water being pushed
through the channel can run at speeds of up to 15 knots. The water moving by the obstacle at such high speeds created rough turbulence and whirlpools 20-30 feet in diameter that could destroy small ship and pull powerful vessels
into the rock, making one of the greatest navigational hazards of the northwest.
The cost for this excursion is $5 per person, and the hike is designed for people ages 16 and up. Par-ticipants will need to register by 3 p.m.
today as space is lim-ited. To register, go to the museum, 470 Island Hwy, Campbell River, BC V9W 2B7. For further informa-tion call the summer students at 250-287-3103 or e-mail at [email protected].

Chelsea Hol-ley’s dream is coming to frui-
tion – to fill Campbell River with community gardens.
She just started Laughing Willow Community Garden this past spring but all 19 plots were spo-ken for within a few months, and there’s already a waiting list.
“It’s been a suc-cess for sure,” said
Holley. “I don’t think we know quite how this is going to affect the community yet, but I think it’s going to have an effect on everybody in a posi-tive way.”
Holley moved to Campbell River with her family about three years ago and noticed a lack of community gardens in town. In the spring of 2010 she started talking to the community about it to see if the idea was something locals were
interested in. She found out that many Campbell Riverites were very interested.
“A lot of people thought this was a good idea; it just took somebody to say ‘I can guide it somewhere if other people get involved,’” explained Holley.
So after getting a number of volunteers on board, she got approval from the City of Campbell River to build the garden in what used to be
Simms Park, on the corner of Simms Rd. and Lawson Grove in Willow Point.
Holley said the hard-est part of getting the garden into gear was fundraising, but she was impressed with Campbell River’s gen-erosity.
“In the end this com-munity was unbeliev-able. We had huge donations by all kinds of people,” said Hol-ley. “We had so much help from the commu-nity.”
The City donated almost $10,000 towards the construction of the garden, and a number of local busi-nesses donated funds, as well as individuals in the community.
While growers are only charged $35 per year to use a plot, (which includes soil), Holley estimates each plot cost about $150 to build, plus the construction of a surrounding fence, a shed, and a layer of bark mulch covering the ground, among other things like hoses and compost contain-ers.
The garden also has a large bed in the back to grow food for the local food bank. With the late start of the growing season, Holly said the food bank garden doesn’t have as much food grow-ing in it as she would like, but said it will be more productive in the future.
“We’re going to orga-nize a team, and get somebody to come in and help us plan it out so we are turning out as much food as we can to the food bank,” explained Holley.
And Laughing Wil-low Community Gar-den is not the end of Holley’s mission to grow food in Campbell River. She is working with Greenways Land Trust – which over-sees Laughing Willow Community Garden – and the City to create more community gar-dens all over Campbell River.
“That’s been part of the vision right from the beginning; sus-tainable, organic, fam-ily friendly gardening all over the city,” said Holley. “We want to work with the City, with the community, and take old lots that aren’t being used any-more and turn them into gardens.”

Vendor fees are as
follows: $25 per ven-dor (an extra $5 if an electrical outlet is needed); community/non-profit vendors can participate free of charge.
Spaces provided for vendors are approxi-mately 10 feet by 10 feet.
For more informa-tion on the Black Creek Community Fair, craft vendor

Vancouver Island North MP John Dun-can likes the new “old” names for the Cana-dian armed forces.
Duncan, Member of Parliament for Vancou-ver Island North and Minister of Aborigi-nal Affairs, welcomed the announcement made by the Honour-able Peter MacKay, Minister of National Defence, that the Gov-ernment of Canada has restored the use of the historic designa-tions of the three for-mer military services: the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN), the Cana-dian Army (CA), and the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF).
“I am very proud that our government has restored this impor-tant link between our serving military mem-bers and the veterans who served in defence of Canada so coura-geously in the past,” said MP Duncan.
“Restoring these historic identities is an important way of reconnecting today’s men and women in uni-form with the proud history and traditions they carry with them as members of the Canadian Forces.” said Minister Mackay.
On February 1, 1968, the government of the day amended the National Defence Act
to unify the Canadian Forces. In that process, the identities of the Royal Canadian Navy, the Canadian Army, and the Royal Cana-dian Air Force ceased to be used and were replaced by Maritime Command, Land Force Command, and Air Command. This deci-sion restores the origi-nal historic identities while retaining the organizational benefits of unification.
By reinstating the Royal Canadian Navy, the Canadian Army, and the Royal Cana-dian Air Force, the Government is restor-ing a central compo-nent of Canada’s mili-tary heritage.
Dating back to the first half of the 20th century, these were the names of the ser-vices that fought and emerged victorious from the First World War, the Second World War, and from Korea, and also contributed to deterrence and defence in Europe and North America from the early days of the Cold War.
With this decision, these historic identi-ties will return to offi-cial use, reminding us of the Canadian tradi-tion of service and sac-rifice that today’s men and women in uniform proudly continue.

RENÉE ANDORCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
The Campbell River Bottle Depot is a busy place, and it’s about to get even busier.
Soon it will be add-ing household appli-ances to its long list of acceptable items.
“Once we get every-thing online there won’t be very much stuff going to the dump anymore,” said man-ager Tex Davidson. “We should’ve been doing this years ago.”
Any counter top appliances like coffee makers and toasters will be accepted, but large appliances like fridges or stoves are excluded.
Davidson said the date has been bumped back a little bit, but he is hoping to have the system implemented for early September.
The depot already
accepts much more than the usual refund-able bottles, cardboard, tin cans, and milk con-tainers. Other items include household
paint, car batteries,household electronicslike computers andtelevisions, flammableliquids, and pesticides,among other things.
Davidson moved toCampbell River 15years ago to run thedepot when it firstopened here. Sincethen, he said it hasgrown dramatically –his guess is by about 75per cent – and he saidthe streets of the com-munity seem cleaner.
“They’re just notdumping the stuff theway they used to,”said Davidson. “It justhelps the community;it keeps it cleaner.”
The Campbell RiverBottle Depot also has abag in the front of thedepot where people candrop off their refund-able beverage contain-ers to donate moneyto the local food bank.The depot also acceptsrefundable beveragecontainers on behalfof 60-65 local chari-ties. People can dropoff their items andthe funds then go intothe charity account oftheir choice.
“It’s a good way tofundraise,” said David-son.
“There’s sportingclubs, there’s schoolprograms – they comein and they set up anaccount with us, andanybody who wants todonate to that specificgroup can bring it inand donate it.”
The Campbell RiverBottle Depot is openseven days a week, 9a.m.-5 p.m. Mon.-Sat.and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Sun-day. Davidson himselfis there seven daysa week making surethings go smoothly.
“No rest for this boy,”said Davidson with achuckle.

A grassroots goalie program returns to where it all began.
Campbell Riveri-tes Richard Kirk and Andy Seppanen, two young entrepreneurs who founded Progres-sive Goaltending will be in Campbell River with the program this Saturday and Sunday. Both men are products of the Campbell River Minor Hockey Asso-ciation.
Both went on to play junior hockey, and then pursued their passion for goaltend-ing in another form – coaching.
Last summer the tan-dem reunited to estab-lish Progressive Goal-tending. After only one year in business they are providing goalie development programs for almost half the minor hockey associations on Van-couver Island.
What separates Pro-gressive Goaltending from other goaltend-ing camps is its film
analysis teaching method. Goaltenders are filmed during the on-ice portion of the camp, and then receive a classroom setting lec-ture, and film review of the technical side of the position.
“It has proven to be a great teaching method, especially for the younger ages who are fascinated in watching them-selves on TV for the first time,” Seppanen says. “It goes a long way in understanding their personal body mechanics in relation to the position.”
Campbell River has the opportunity to become the next goal-tender hot bed with Progressive Goaltend-ing’s working relation-ship with Campbell River Minor Hockey.
“ We a r e b o t h extremely excited to return home to Camp-bell River and share this opportunity with aspiring young goal-tenders,” says Kirk. “It
gives us the chance to give back to the com-munity in which we grew up in.”
The Campbell River content does not end there, as instructors for the camp include former Storm goalie Cory Mullin and cur-rent Storm netminder and fan favourite Kieran Anderson.
Both also received goaltender coaching from Seppanen and Kirk during their development as a Tyee. Darryl ‘Gump’ Humphrey will once again share his wealth of knowledge during the camp, as ‘Gump’ has been a staple in goaltender develop-ment for Campbell River over the past 15 years from the grass roots level up to serv-ing as goalie coach for the Campbell River Storm.
To learn more about Progressive Goaltend-ing you can visit their website www.progres-sivegoaltending.com

ILLEGAL DUMPING P/U CHERI
“Kill-dee! Kill-dee!” The killdeer’’s call
(ergo the name) is easy-to-recognize, and it should be equally easy to identify this common summer resident of Vancouver Island shores.
But toss a killdeer in
amongst the other plo-vers and identification becomes a challenge.
The plovers are com-pact shorebirds with hyperactive beach behaviour.
They dash across the sand, stop, and then dash off again, always
in search of worms and crustaceans.
Consider the thick black ‘necklace’ or breast band – a wonderfully simple identification tool, or at least it should be. Some plovers boast distinctive
black breast bands, but there are single breast bands, double breast bands, and, out of breeding season, some have no breast band at all.
Complicat-ing matters somewhat is the fact that three species of plover tend to congre-gate along the Pacific Northwest: Killdeer, Semipalmated Plover and Black-bellied Plover.
Don’t let the word ‘semipalmated’ con-fuse you; it simply means this shorebird has partial webbing between the toes.
The Semipalmated is the smallest, at 18 cm, with one black neck band, an orange eye-ring, and a short bill coloured orange at the base.
The Killdeer is larger, at 25 cm, and sports an all-black bill and a fascinating scar-
let eye-ring. Killdeer have two
breast bands, and the only way I can remem-
ber this is by using the memory crutch that ‘kill deer’ is really two words (writ-ten as one). Works for me.
Our third and largest local plover species is
the Black-bellied, at 28 cm. Adults, when breeding, show an all-black face, breast and belly … no breast band at all.
To see the resplen-dent male in full breeding plumage, with his frosty crown and jet-black front, is bird-watching at its finest.
Before summer ends, walk down to the shore and say “Hello” to the lovely plovers.

Semipalmated plovers have a single breast band.

Broken glass mason jars. Unfortunately the person/s who dumped them may not know that glass can be recycled and there are many drop o loca ons to take them. Too bad they think the forest is a toilet. Good thing there are peo-ple watching out for illegal dumpers in the John Hart Lake Watershed area! Please call 250-203-2316 if you have any informa on.
