No chance of losing any rubber duckies in this year’s version of the Quacker 5000 Rotary Duck Race.

That’s because they won’t be dumped into the Campbell River to drift downstream to the finish line and be scooped up with dip nets.

The Daybreak Rotary Club has changed the format of the annual

fundraiser and taken it off the Campbell River altogether. This year it will be held at Centennial outdoor pool on Sunday, Aug. 26 at 1 p.m. in partnership with the City of Campbell River.

But wait, you ask, what kind of

race can that be? Well, it won’t be a race, so much, but it still promises to be a fun day. Hope-fully, more fun according to race co-ordinator Craig Gillis.

“We’re trying to make it a

it has to be reduced to acceptable industry standards,” Blackwell said. “People will still hear the industrial operation but it will be quieter and meet the standard that exists in other communities.”

Critics of the pole peeler, most notably Tracey Deller who co-owns Blue Spruce Home Park next door to the plant, say the pole peeler should never

have been approved in the first place. Deller maintains the city incorrectly issued a development permit to the owner and the plant is operating illegally. At a council meeting June 12, Deller noted the Local Gov-ernment Act requires development permit applications to include “information of the anticipated impact of the proposed activ-ity or development on

the community” and all submissions must include a completed application and a writ-ten statement of intent, including how it will benefit the surround-ing neighbourhood.

Deller said she was told by the city’s land use department that not all of the required application informa-tion is always col-lected, and sometimes a permit is issued with only the application

form filled out. But Blackwell said

the city has done every-thing right and fol-lowed what’s laid out in the Local Government Act. The pole peeler plant falls under the Form, Character and Performance Develop-ment Permit Area – one of nine city permit areas a development can trigger – because it’s an industrial oper-ation. That type of permit requires the

city to look at how the operation will impact or benefit the existing neighbourhood based solely on aesthetics.

“In the case of the pole peeler plant, form and character does not extend to the degree and nature of sound generated by the prop-erty,” Blackwell said.

“The aesthetic aspects of the development permit is that there is no significant impact aesthetically on the neighbourhood – not in terms of land use. Nowhere in the Local Government Act for a development permit for form and character (does it give) us lati-

tude to consider land use matters, like sound generation.”

Blackwell said that once the sound is reduced and the plant is no longer in conflict with the noise bylaw the city has no legal latitude to do any-thing further barring another breach.

family fun day,” Gillis said.

Locating it at the outdoor pool and adja-cent Centennial Park, allows for the Rotar-ians to plan numerous fun activities at the event site. There will be face painting, bounce-a-ramas, fish pond, pet-ting zoo, hockey shoot as well as a barbecue and much more.

T h e R o t a r i a n s decided it was time for a change for the race.

The old location on the river at the Campbell River Lodge.

“We’re excited about it because we felt that it was time to really look at our duck dip and really focus it as a family event,” Gillis said.

The newly-coined Duck Dip will raise funds for the new water park as well as make a connection between the Centennial Pool and the community. Centennial Park is

more central for all Campbell Riverites to access. It is expected the new water park will be operating by the time the Duck Dip is held.

The public can still buy a duck but this time they will be dumped into the pool by a crane and celeb-rity dippers will use specially-designed dip nets and pull out the winning ducks.

The prizes include a $5,000 in cash first

prize, a Canucks pack-age (accommodation and two game tickets worth $1,500) second prize and a one-hour helicopter ride for three as a third prize. There are also 14 other prizes. Tickets are $10 and are available at Save On Foods, Thrifty Foods, Discovery Foods and Quality Foods, the Ppier Street Farmers Market (Sundays, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.) or from any Daybreak Rotar-ian.

Four Seconds for Safety

There were many “ifs” in the 1.5 second

standard perception/reaction time that I used

when conducting the analysis of a highway

collision. If the driver was paying attention,

if the driver realized what he was seeing,

if the driver reacted appropriately, if the

driver...that’s a lot of ifs. For many driving

situations it is likely far more appropriate to

consider 3 or 4 seconds, not 1.5.

Perhaps the most recognized time

dependent perception/reaction consideration

when driving is following distance.

Everyone should be familiar with the Two

Second Rule and the encouragement to

extend it to 3 or 4 seconds for anything

but ideal driving conditions. It’s not that

diffi cult to do and one day you might be

glad that you made a habit of it.

Where else could this apply in your

daily drive? Let’s consider signaling a lane

change. If signals are used at all, it is often

one blink after the vehicle starts to move

toward the adjacent lane, one blink as it

crosses over the white line and one blink as

it takes up residence in the chosen lane. All

that really tells surrounding traffi c is what

you did, not what you are going to do.

Three to four seconds of signal before

your vehicle starts to move laterally will

insure drivers around you perceive that

something is going to happen, decide how it

is going to affect them and if necessary give

them time to react and avoid a collision if

you are making a mistake.

Vancouver Island Regional Library is looking for space for a new library on Cortes after its Manson’s Hall building was deemed a safety hazard and closed to the public.

On May 4 the Cortes library was shut down without notice pending a safety report on the mezzanine housing the library.

T h e s t r u c t u r a l e n g i n e e r ’s re p o r t came back to Vancou-ver Island Regional Library, which oper-ates the Cortes branch, weeks later with bad news.

“The opinion of the author of the report...

is that the second floor area of the Manson’s Community Centre is not suitable for occu-pancy as a library area,” said Rosemary Bonanno, executive director of Vancou-ver Island Regional Library.

Ronna-Rae Leonard, chair of the regional library board, said the problem is the weight of the books the floor was supporting.

“People don’t realize the weight of books and we have a duty to protect the pub-lic,” said Leonard in May after a decision was made to close the library doors. “If we’re told there’s a risk, we have to do something about it.”

Books were removed from the library and have been kept in a truck on site ever since.

But Cortes Island-ers can only check out books by requesting them through Vancou-ver Island Regional Library’s online sys-tem via computer or mobile device using VIRLMobile.

To make things a bit easier, Vancou-ver Island Regional Library announced Tuesday it has found a temporary holds pickup location on Cortes where custom-ers are able to pick up materials they have put on hold as well as return materials.

The temporary holds

pickup will be located in the Cortes Island School (950 Beasley Road) in Manson’s Landing thanks to a lease agreement between the regional library and School Dis-trict 72.

The service will be open for business starting Mon., July 16. Hours of opera-tion will be Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 1-5 p.m.

T h e l o c at i o n i s expected to remain in operation until there is a new library on Cortes.

Vancouver Island Re g i o n a l L i b r a r y recently issued a Request for Proposals for a space of 660 to 2,750 square feet for a

new library.The deadline for pro-

posals is July 31 and request for proposal evaluations and site visits will take place Aug. 2-15.

The Vancouver Island Regional Library board will review the recom-mendations made by staff, vote on the suc-cessful respondent, and notify him or her by Sept. 28.

Vancouver Island Regional Library had been in negotiations with the Souther n Cortes Community Association since 2010 to find a new tempo-rary location but the association’s proposal two months ago fell through and talks ceased.

Replacement site for hazardous Cortes Island Library sought


The city is recom-mending changes to its Legacy Landmarks program that could mean memorials are

taken down after a cer-tain amount of years.

The program offers individuals and orga-nizations the chance to make a donation to purchase benches or picnic tables in mem-ory of a loved one.

The memorials are installed in parks and along trails but space is running out.

“At this point, the program has reached its capacity with a wait list of 59 people for memorial items,”

said Ross Milnthorp, the city’s general man-ager of parks, recre-ation and culture. “To date, 136 benches and 52 picnic tables have been installed and the provision of this parks furniture has greatly

enhanced the commu-nity, providing places to sit and relax.”

S e ve r a l o f t h e benches and picnic tables can be found along the Sea Walk and in Dick Murphy Park.

City council is not ready to commit to a five-year-old initiative to restrict the use of pesticides.

Council was asked by city staff at last week’s council meeting to reaf-firm an old resolution to develop a bylaw that would control the cos-metic use of pesticides on both public and pri-vate lands within the city.

The new law would have regulated the use of pesticides on outdoor trees, shrubs, flowers, ornamental plants and turf.

The city’s Environ-mental Advisory Com-mission first recom-mended the bylaw in the fall of 2007 based

on strong public and community organiza-tion support for pesti-cide control.

Following the recom-mendation, the city purchased a pesticide awareness service, Nature Works, which helped people choose alternatives to pes-ticides. That service ran from 2008-2009 but was no longer avail-able in 2010. At that time, staff prepared a draft pesticide bylaw and provided pesticide awareness information on the city website. But since then, there has been no official direc-tion from council.

A staff report to council last week rec-ommended council move forward with the pesticide bylaw despite findings from a pro-

vincial government special committee on pesticides.

“The majority of the committee concluded that currently there is insufficient envi-ronmental or health-realted evidence to war-rant a province-wide ban on the cosmetic use of pesticides,” said Terri Martin, the city’s environmen-tal co-ordinator, and Amber Zirnhelt, city sustainability man-ager, in their report to council. “The minority concluded that there is sufficient scientific evidence available for a province-wide ban.”

Although the prov-ince-wide ban was not recommended, 40 communities includ-ing the Comox Valley, Nanaimo, Qualicum

Beach, Tofino, Saanich and Victoria have their own pesticide bylaws.

City staff said a pesti-cide bylaw makes sense for Campbell River too as it “supports current city policies and aligns with the recent recom-mendations to reduce unnecessary pesticide use.”

Ron Neufeld, the city’s manager of gen-eral operations, rec-ommended creating a working group to develop the bylaw and help raise awareness.

“It’s intended to minimize the impacts of the internal orga-nizations and external businesses that rely on the application of pesticides,” Neufeld said. “So when the bylaw is in place, the business community

is prepared and able to adjust seamlessly.”

Coun. Andy Adams thought the commit-tee would be a waste of time.

“I look at the report and it talks about set-ting up a stakeholders group,” Adams said. “That takes staff time.

Why would we do that when the province has already done that? Let’s entertain it or not but let’s not spend staff time on it.”

Coun. Claire Moglove said she was not pre-pared to support a bylaw regulating the use of pesticides before

finding out whether or not the province will enact a B.C.-wide ban.

In the end, council passed a motion direct-ing staff to come back with a report recom-mending a suitable bylaw and the finan-cial ramifications on the city.

Council hesitant to enact pesticide ban

But those memori-als may not be here to stay. City staff is sug-gesting a new policy under which all land-mark items will only be maintained for roughly 25 years at which time the space will be made available to a new leasee.

Council, however,

was hesitant to dis-cuss such a policy at last week’s council meeting and elected to move the discussion to the next Committee of the Whole meeting.

“This par ticular issue is very sensitive to citizens who have lost a loved one and I’d like council to have the chance to talk about it

at the Committee of the Whole and with citizens who purchased these benches,” said Coun. Larry Samson.

The program, which began in 2001, is also becoming costly for the city.

“Due to rising costs the city has had to sub-sidize the program to a greater degree than it

has in the past,” said Milnthorp, who noted the purchase, delivery and installation of park benches and picnic tables has increased since 2001. “Staff is recommending that rates are increased to better reflect current costs and reduce tax-payer investment in the program.”

Coastline Mazda has grown up and moved out.

T h e d e a l e r s h i p, owned by Steve Mar-shall Motors, left its Willow Point home last month for greener pastures.

Mazda re-located to a bigger and better lot in the north end of town after it outgrew its facility across from Frank James Park.

“It’s an old, tired and very crowded facility,” Tom Dishlevoy, archi-tect of the new Mazda building, told city council at a meeting last October.

Fast forward nine

months and Mazda is thriving at its new Island Highway loca-tion between Park and Woodburn roads.

“We’re seeing a lot more customers com-ing in. It’s a lot bus-ier,” said Karl Ebdrup, manager of Coastline

Mazda. “I think we’re in a better location now and having a shiny, new building helps.”

The facility boasts a beach theme in a nod to its Coastline name. Landscaping includes dune grass, driftwood, silver burweed and

river rock. The build-ing is designed with aluminum paneling and grass to provide a varied facade.

“It’s set on a slope slightly raised from the highway and we thought ‘why not cre-ate a replica beach, so when drivers are going down the highway they can look up and see the noses of all the cars peeking through beach grasses,’” Dishlevoy said.

The new building is also much larger, with most of the space designated to vehicle parking.

The property is 2.2 acres, while the Wil-low Point lot – which

was leased to Mazda – was just under one acre. The building is 512.9 metres squared in total floor area and 4.5 metres high.

“We’ve been able to quadruple our inven-tory because we have a lot more space,” Ebdrup said. “Things are going very well.”

T h e d e a l e r s h i p opened its new store about two weeks ago and a grand opening is set for July 21.

Mazda secured a building permit for its new facility in mid-October of last year. City staff felt the new building would enhance the northern end of the city.

mary data released by the Vancouver IslandReal Estate Board (VIREB) shows housing salesactivity across Vancouver Island recorded adrop in unit sales last month as compared to ayear ago while average prices remain virtuallyunchanged.

Across VIREB’s coverage area in June aver-age sales prices dipped incrementally overwhat was recorded in June 2011. The averagesales price of a single family home sold withinthe VIREB region in June was $341,864 downslightly from the June 2011 average price of$343,456. The number of unit sales (on a yearto year basis) dropped 11 per cent. In June 2011409 single family homes were sold, in compari-son 364 unit sales were recorded in June 2012.There was also a modest decrease (8 per cent)in the number of homes listed last month ascompared to June 2011.

“Prices remain relatively flat and the overalleconomic activity has become a little slower,”explained Cameron Muir, Chief Economistwith the British Columbia Real Estate Associa-tion (BCREA). “But if you look at the numbersbased on sales transactions recorded duringthe first six months of the year you can seethat we’re looking at activity and prices thathave been pretty stable throughout 2012. Sta-bility and consistency have to be the only wayto accurately describe the real estate market-place on Vancouver Island.”

As of the end of June 2012 there were 3,353single family homes available on the MLSwithin VIREB’s coverage area, up approxi-mately five per cent from the 3,183 homes inthe system at the end of June 2011.

Campbell River is going through some tough economic times, but the new owners of the Nissan dealership see plenty of opportu-nity right now as well as the potential for future growth in the city.

“I think Campbell River is getting ready to rock,” says Jens Nielsen, one of the co-owners of Harris Nissan North Island. “There’s the big BC Hydro project coming, the new hospital and we have big box stores – there’s a lot of oppor-tunity.”

Nielsen and Jim Graham are the two local co-owners of the dealership who have partnered with Nanaimo-based Tom Harris Group. The other co-owners are Tom Harris and Mike Harris, who bought the dealership from well-known Campbell River businessman Barrie Brown.

“I’ve known Tom

Harris for 25 years…their Group is growing rapidly,” says Nielsen. “They bring a lot of business experience and support for this new endeavour.”

As well, Graham points out, they can assist customers look-ing for brands other than Nissan, as the Harris Group also sells Mazda, KIA and Mit-subishi vehicles.

But their “bread and butter,” notes Nielsen, is Nissan.

“Nissan has some great products, espe-cially their trucks and SUVs which are per-fectly suited for this market,” he says.

Nielsen was raised in the Yukon where his father ran a Chrysler dealership. In Camp-bell River, he was the sales manager at Steve

Marshall Ford and most recently was the general manager at Coastline Mazda.

Graham hails from Mission and spent two decades working with Brian McLean Chev-rolet, Buick and GMC. He was the parts man-ager at the Courtenay dealership and most recently the general manager at Tyee Chev-rolet Oldsmobile in

Campbell River.“Jim and I have com-

plimentary skills,” says Nielsen. “We both have a lot of experi-ence.”

The two dealers are excited about their opportunity and the chance to be part of a vibrant community.

“I can’t think of a bet-ter place to be in than Campbell River…I’m all in!” says Nielsen.

Nissan dealers see plenty of potential to month basis you can see it continues toremain very stable and predictable,” saidVIREB President Guy Bezeau. “With a goodhousing inventory in all ranges and continu-ing historically low interest rates there is stillample opportunity for both buyers and sell-ers on Vancouver Island. Looking at it fromthe mid-point of 2012 you can see that activityacross the Board area has remained level andconsistent one month to the next through-out the year, which is expected to be the casethroughout the rest of the year.”

Comparing June 2012 to June 2011, the aver-age sale prices across VIREB’s six zones saw:Campbell River increase seven per cent to$307,386, the Comox Valley rose four per centto $361,537, Nanaimo’s average sales pricewas down three per cent to $358,290 from theJune 2011 price of $370,322, Parksville/Quali-cum prices rose five per cent to $405,635, PortAlberni/West Coast dropped a full 27 per centto $197,950 and the Cowichan Valley declinedfive per cent to $336,238.

PUBLISHER: Zena [email protected]

Bill 22 was a hammer where a feather was needed, but, thanks to some fancy footwork by mediator Charles Jago, the worst elements of the law were

rendered moot, an agreement was reached and B.C.’s public school teachers and their employers will live to fight another day. While B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Susan Lambert characterized the mediation process as a sham, labelled the pressure teachers

were under as bullying and the agreement the best that could be achieved under duress, some modest improvements were gained, albeit not in wages.

More importantly, the two-year contract ending in 2013 contains few if any of the concessions demanded by the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association. True, there are no improvements in class size and composition language, and the government chose to tighten the screws on teachers by eliminating limits without giving teachers any of the control they sought in classroom organization.

The government claims its $165-million Learning Improvement Fund will allay some of the concerns by putting more teachers and special education assistants in the classroom. It’s unlikely teachers will be satisfied, given their ongoing concerns about what they view as government attacks on their

professionalism, autonomy, control over classroom organization and wages. For parents, the teachers’ agreement is a relief after months of uncertainty.

But the relief will be short-lived unless the economy turns around, the government changes or it turns out that more money does make a difference to in the classroom – although there will never be enough cash to solve every issue.

What’s really needed is a completely new way for teachers and the province to come to terms on a contract. The latest fiasco is yet another example of how the existing paradigm of labour negotiations simply doesn’t work for public education.

Little peace in public schoolsOur ViewOur View

Big Mike’s unimpressed with the latest scientific find

We say: We need a new way of negotiating teacher contracts

Strolling downtown and thoroughly – and finally – enjoying the sunshine, I noticed Big Mike reading our daily newspaper.

Hmm, I thought, that’s a good way to promote the paper...and then Big Logger Mike opened his yap after spying me trying sneak by his spar pole.

“Hey What’s-Yer-Name, what’s all the hoopla over finding this stupid Dog Particle? I find them all the time on my little patch of lawn ‘thanks’ to them dog walkers!” he bellowed.

Oh my, our yellow stalwart who sees and hears all is getting old and now he’s suffering from dyslexia. I tried straightening him out.

“It’s not a Dog Particle...” I explained before he abruptly cut me off.

“Geez, those scientists sure can

spend our money fast,” he lectured. “Billions of dollars to build some dang tunnel in Switzerland so they can crash fleas into each other at a zillion miles an hour...and what do they find: Dog particles, which I thin is just a fancy way of saying ‘poop’!”

I quietly groaned and then looked around to make sure no one else was there to hear me yell, “It’s the GOD PARTICLE for crying out loud!”

Big Mike gave me a funny look.“Which part?” he asked with a

raised eyebrow. “I think if I was God, I’d be pretty ticked off if a bunch of pocket-protecting wearing geeks were trying to pull particles out of me.”

This wasn’t going to be easy.“Let me try to explain. They think

they’ve found the finite remnants of a particle which provides the key link

between energy and the creation of mass. It’s the link to the beginnings of our entire universe,” I said, try-ing to make quantum physics sound simple in under 50 words.

It didn’t help. In fact, he appeared more dubious than ever.

“What do you mean exactly when you say, ‘think they’ve found’?” he asked, again with the raised eye-brow.

“Well,” I began, knowing full well that he wasn’t going be impressed, “they haven’t really found the God Particle – no one can even see it with the most powerful microscope – but they believe they’ve proved the the-ory.”

Big Logger Mike just shook his head, sadly, as I expected.

“Nice words: think, believe, the-

ory,” he said with an air of authority. “What you’re really saying is they don’t know for sure, but they think they think they know, right?”

Now he had me confused.“I guess so,” I meekly replied.“Okay, I’ll take your word just this

once,” he said. “Just tell me one thing, how’s this God Particle going to help the planet?”

And now he had me stumped.“Umm, they don’t know or at least

no one’s said what it can do,” I said with a shrug.

“Just what I suspected,” said Big Logger Mike, “another so-called dis-covery so they can ask for billions and billions more, so that more sci-entists can have jobs. I think we need a Dog Particle collider right here in Campbell River!”

I have been reading Hydro’s and Ted Olynyk’s defense of this horrid, dangerous smart meter program for more than 18 months now, and I am still surprised by the bizarre statistics they come up with.

The most recent one is “A one way ferry trip from Departure Bay to Horseshoe Bay” exposes a person to more radiation than being around a smart meter for 35 years!!

Where do they get this stuff ? Another one is that the meters send out signals “only” one minute a day. Never is there any substantiation of these misleading statements.

The fact is that these meters emit very high levels of microwave radiation every 2-6 seconds all day every day and night. We have court-ordered documentation that PG&E was forced to provide about their ITRON meters, the same model and brand that Hydro is install-ing. What does Hydro have to argue this – nothing.

People are having appliances damaged by surges and poor installation by unqualified installers that Hydro will not pay to fix; they are receiving bills that are 2 and 3 times higher than last year’s before they got a smart

PAUL RUDANCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

A young man charged with second-degree murder in the death of his half-brother was arrested again for allegedly fighting with another brother.

Tony Williams, 18, wasn’t charged mis-chief or assault in connection with the alle ged fight, but his bail was revoked due to five counts of breaching his bail con-ditions.

“The allegations of breach or piling up,” said Judge John Joe on Wednesday in Camp-bell River provincial court.

The judge added he had “grave concern” Williams will con-

tinue consuming alco-hol and committing breaches, “In these cir-cumstances, I’m going cancel bail and detain you.”

Williams is accused of killing his half brother Edison Thomas, 33, on Sept. 28, 2011. Williams was released on strict bail conditions last December and ordered to reside with his par-ents, who were in the courtroom for Wednes-day’s hearing.

However, on April 4, at 1:26 a.m., a pedes-trian found Williams passed out in the downtown area. Police arrived and could find no identification on the man who was breath-ing, but was largely unresponsive.

He was taken to hos-

pital were high blood-alcohol levels were noted by medical staff. Police were later able to identify that it was Williams who was under conditions to abide by a curfew and to not consume alco-hol.

However, he was released from custody and later charged with breach.

Then, on the after-noon of June 29, just four days after Wil-liams had appeared in court to set a date for the murder trial, police received a report of two men fighting downtown.

It was Williams and his brother who were allegedly yelling and punching each other. Williams later told an

officer they were, “only fighting about brother business.”

Officers detected a slight odour of alcohol on Williams’ breath and the smell of mari-juana.

A small amount of pot was allegedly found in a backpack Williams was carrying, but he wasn’t charged with possession of a con-trolled substance.

This time though, Wil-liams was detained.

Defence lawyer Doug Marion told the court that Williams denied drinking during the second incident. He also said that it was Wil l iams’ brother who was throwing the punches.

“This is a situation where the brother was

angry,” said Marion.However, Crown pros-

ecutor Bruce Goddard noted there appears to be a pattern of Wil-liams breaching his bail conditions.

“He’s been released on a very serious charge…he should be detained in custody,” said Goddard.

Judge Joe agreed and cancelled Williams’ bail.

Williams was back in court on Thursday and was expected to enter into a plea agreement on some of the breach allegations. The out-come was not available at press time.

A pre-trial conference for the murder trial is scheduled for July 18, in B.C. Supreme Court in Campbell River.

meter and Hydro says the meters are correct.

When time of use billing is introduced bills will increase even more, especially for those who need to heat or cook during the day.

Experts warn that

our private data can-not be secure – hack-ers can tell when we’re not home or asleep,can turn off our home’s power, or bring down the entire system.

Worst of all, we are being forced to have these dangerous inva-

sive transmitters on our homes and we have no choice.

Just shut up and pay the bills. Minister Coleman and Hydro are saying they will work with us – by giv-ing us three choices: pay $3,000-10,000 to

have the meter moved away from the home; get off the grid; leave the province.

It’s time that Cole-man and Christy Clark realize that many tens of thousands of Brit-ish Columbians have refused these meters. 53

municipalities and the Union of BC Munici-palities have asked for a moratorium and/or an opt out option. But Christy Clark says she doesn’t care.

Potatoes Are Trumps when it come to small space gardening

Who would have thought you could grow a crop of spuds on a patio or a balcony?

One of the cleverest uses of space has to be the potato bag. To pro-duce an abundant crop

of potatoes in a bag you need to grow long stems. In fact the lon-ger you let the stems g row t h e larger the c r o p. To save the cost of a bag you could use a large gunny sack, a sisal type feed

bag or a bulk coffee b a g . H e re ’s how it works:

■ Roll down the sides of the bag until it’s about 12 inches high.

■ You’ll want full sun and a leak proof con-tainer to sit the bag on.

■ Add eight inches of soil into the

bottom of bag and bury the seed tubers in soil.

■ Water every few days so soil stays moist.

■ After two weeks or so stems will peek through soil. Once they are six inches high add more soil or compost, leaves, straw, etc. to cover all but the top set of new growth. Keep doing this.

■ As the soil line gets

higher, unroll the bag to match the line.

■ Continue adding soil and mulch up to about two feet from top of bag.

In two months or less the potato flowers will bloom. Harvest two weeks after the entire plant dies off. By then the bottom of the bag should have rotted out so just grope around in the soil and choose the

small spuds first for a great dinner treat. If you need more details please go online and you’ll find lots of info for growing spuds in tall containers. July is not too late to start so head off to a local gar-den shop and pick up a few seed potatoes.

If Your Garden Isn’t Warm enough to grow heat-loving basil then try picking up a

fragrant smelling pot of this wonderful herb in the local store.

Set the plant in a sunny spot near a win-dow sill and it should produce a steady supply of leaves for months to come.

The trick is to regu-larly nip off the top greens.

It is astounding to see how quickly the plant reproduces.

The road to adulthood for baby wildlife

is paved with many obstacles, even more incredible is how tiny some species arrive in the world and how fast they must develop in order to survive. Recently, I was over-whelmed with the bumper crop of wildlife babies being cared for this sea-son, it also reinforced how many of these cases were taken in due to human actions. As always there were multiple fawns, some a few days old oth-ers a few weeks and although we have information on our web site and informa-tive articles they are still being kidnapped by well meaning people who think they can raise them. Fawns and other baby wild-life need their parents

either for antibodies that protect their immune system, or to teach them their life and survival skills.

MARS is still getting orphaned deer when mothers are killed by vehicles; please slow down when deer are near the road and expect fawns to fol-

low an adult across the road. It is heartbreak-ing to see a fawn left by the side of the road with a broken leg. Fortunately, the fawn we received recently

underwent surgery to pin and set its frac-tured leg and it is on the road to recovery.

MARS was fortunate to receive funding from The Olympia Charitable Foundation in Alberta to build a “Bambi Bungalow” in a secluded corral keeping the recover-ing deer away from any outside stresses.

We would really appreciate any dona-tions towards the fawns’ milk fund.They are fed with specially formulated powdered milk that is costly to buy.

These fawns will be fitted with ear tags so that they can be tracked and identified to trace their territory.

My next encounter was with a prehistoric creature that was sitting on a salmo-nberry leaf held in the palm of a hand. A large beak flanked by two alert beady eyes appeared to be nestled in a powder puff. Hidden underneath were two gangly legs

and big feet. On close inspection there was no mistaking the tee-niest great blue heron chick I have ever seen.

This was a very for-tunate little bird. It was observed as it was plucked from the nest in a heronry by a bald eagle. It must have been the heron’s lucky day as the chick was dropped from the bald eagles talons landing in a bush close to its rescuers.

The chick was still wet and it was brought to the center where it was put into an incu-bator. The challenge with a bird this small was how and what to feed it. We were able

to get advice from another rehab center that had dealt with this situation and was able to offer help.

Bald eagles are one of the main threats to great blue herons and in Comox for most of the year they co-habit in the same area. However during the breeding season, the herons are not as suc-cessful as the eagles at defending their nests and young.

It always amazes me that these long-legged, ungainly birds perch and nest in the treetops and fashion a very loosely woven nest of sticks which is open to predation and

the elements. Nests are often in areas of thick under growth and even if the herons survive falling out of the nest or being plucked from it, the parents cannot reach them on the ground and they starve to death.

Finally, the last interesting case was a bald eaglet, which was also an unfortunate victim, this time of its own sibling. Bald eagles usually have two chicks and they hatch several days apart. Survival of the fittest holds true for these babies as the eldest is stronger and will bully the younger

sibling. This is natu-ral behavior and if the younger chick cannot fend for itself and be aggressive in return it will often starve or in the case of this eaglet it was pushed out of the nest after being pecked repeatedly by its sibling.

This is another happy ending as the event was witnessed and the eaglet res-cued. This week the eaglet was transferred to O.W.L. (another rehab center in Lad-ner) where it will be raised by a non-releas-able foster bald eagle.

Please watch and wait before interven-ing with wildlife. Call our emergency line for advice 1-800-304-9968. All of the cases featured above did require speedy inter-vention and rescuing, but so often most do not.

Please check our web site for informa-tion on how you can help us secure funding from Shell Canada. Shell Fueling Change is an environmental initiative and your vote can earn us fund-ing for Into the Blue, a great blue heron study of roosting maps and feeding habitats in the Baynes Sound/Comox Valley area which has never been recorded. For more information on how to sign up and to follow our progress go to www.wingtips.org and follow the links. With your vote we could raise $25,000, closing date Oct. 31.

After two days of hard physical labour, patches of invasive yel-low flag iris have been removed from Baikie Island Nature Reserve – but there’s more to do to remove this pushy plant taking root in the Campbell River estuary.

A joint effort between City of Campbell River, Greenways Land Trust, Nature Conservancy of Canada and , Coastal Invasive Plant Council staff was a first step to curb the spread of the plant, which had taken root on the west side of Baikie Island and was spreading rapidly.

Yellow flag iris is

an aquatic plant that can grow in both salt-water and freshwater, spreading by seed and by underground rhi-zomes. It is listed as a noxious weed under the BC Weed Control Act.

“The invasive plant’s ability to form dense thickets displaces the natural variety of plants,” explains Lynn Wark, the City’s parks project supervi-sor. “Whenever plant diversity in an area is reduced, the surround-ing animal diversity dependent on those species is also reduced, so it’s very important to keep invasive spe-

cies out of our newest nature reserve.”

Over June 25 and 26, all of the yellow flag iris blooms were removed to prevent the next set of seeds and as many plants as possible were dug up by hand and removed from the estuary for proper disposal.

Maintenance efforts at Baikie Island are ongoing to ensure new plantings are thriving and to remove inva-sive species threaten-ing to overtake native vegetation.

Yellow flag iris was introduced to North America a century ago as an ornamental plant for its showy yellow blooms. It has spread into natural waterways across the continent.

Residents are encour-aged to refrain from planting yellow flag iris in yards and gar-dens to prevent the plant from spreading

City staff will con-tinue to work with Greenways Land Trust, the Coastal Invasive Plant Council and the Nature Conservancy of Canada to address con-cerns around invasive species throughout the community.

Invasive yellow flag iris sent packing

Ernie Sellentin, project coordinator for the Coastal Invasive Plant Committee, shows thick yellow flag iris rhizomes that make the plant difficult to remove once established.

The City of Campbell River has launched an online camera with views of downtown and Discov-ery Passage.

The web cam show-cases the panoramic vista from its rooftop location at city hall and was installed at no cost to the city.

The City’s Informa-tion Services Depart-ment arranged for an agreement to enter

into a partnership with North Island Communications that provides a new image streaming web camera focusing on the down-town core and water-front. The web cam images are refreshed every 30 seconds and are available to the public through the home page of the City of Campbell River’s website www.camp-bellriver.ca.

“North Island Com-munications is very excited to participate in this and future technology partner-ships with the City of Campbell River,” states Dave Emery, owner of North Island Communications. “It allows us to give back to the Community, and share with others the region’s beauty. We live in a special place.”

City web camera features streaming images of downtown and Discovery Passage

Irvin Banman, Nature Conservancy of Canada, and Ernie Sellentin, project coordinator for the Coastal Invasive Plant Committee, discuss how to remove yellow flag iris from Baikie Island.

The BC Bike Race’s Campbell River leg had 500 riders from all over the world partici-pating.

However, the num-bers of riders and the weather have caused considerable dam-age to the trails in the

Snowden Forest. The River City Cycle Club, who are the stewards for the Snowden trails have requested that

the mountain biking public do not use the Snowden Forest trails for several days until they have had a chance

to dry out and repair.For more informa-

tion on the Snowden trails go to www.river-citycycle.ca.

Snowden bike trails need time to recoverThe Snowden Forest trails hosted the BC Bike Race on Monday but the wet conditions and heavy use by 500 riders mean the trails need

some time to dry out and recover. The River City Cycle Club is requesting riders to stay off the trials for a while.

When Jack Oja moved into his Willow Pointoceanfront home eight years ago, he had a gor-geous sea view, but a garden full of gravel andweeds.

Oja’s garden is among the 10 local propertiesfeatured on the Campbell River Art Gallery’s Gar-den and Art Tour Saturday, July 7 and Sunday,July 8. The self-guided tour runs from 10 a.m. to4 p.m. both days.

Oja had always liked house plants, particularlycactus, but he had never had a big garden before.He started studying gardening books, met with adesigner, hired a local nursery to oversee instal-lation, and within a remarkably short time, cre-ated a truly magnificent garden overlooking thebeach.

“Eight years ago, it was barren, you wouldn’trecognize it at all compared to what it is today,”Oja said.

Oja’s garden, which he describes as “a terracewith sides,” is a riot of colour, with campanulas,thyme, California poppies, foxgloves and muchmore.

“It’s quite a palette,” he said, looking aroundhis property.

The garden is completely accessible and fea-tures gorgeous winding concrete paths in andamongst the flower beds. This is the second timeOja’s garden has been featured on the CampbellRiver Art Gallery’s Garden and Art Tour, and herecommends the experience to other gardeners.

“I loved talking about gardening with like-minded people,” he said. “Everyone had a goodtime.”

Tickets for the Garden and Art Tour, which issponsored by Royal LePage Campbell River, areavailable at the Campbell River Art Gallery, theWillows Market, the Visitor Information Centreand the Comox Valley Art Gallery. Tickets are $15and proceeds support children’s programs at theCampbell River Art Gallery. Call 250-287-2261 formore information.

The Campbell River Community Centre isoffering a bus tour, for $20 including your ticket,on Saturday, July 7 only. Call 250-286-1161 fordetails.

Planning for Life Changes

“Planning for life changes” is a not-for-profi t group made of local professionals who will be providing free seminars that will cover various aspects of life including retirement planning, income taxes, Wills and Power of Attorney, real estate matters, and funeral planning.

Have you had Capital Gains in the last 3 years?Many people with investments outside their RRSP have experienced plummeting values in their stock portfolios. If you have had capital gains in the last 3 years this creates an opportunity for you to realize some of your current losses and have those losses carried back up to 3 years for a refund of taxes paid in those years.

You can also use this to offset Capital Gains in the current year. Although you will not recapture taxes paid in a prior year, you will put off taxes on this year’s Capital Gain until such time as the shares in your portfolio show gains. This is assuming that after selling the losing stocks you leave the money from the share sales in your portfolio and purchase other shares.

If these are stocks you have confi dence in you can reacquire similar stocks (or the same stock if you wait the mandatory 30 days) and wait for them to rise again. You should contact both your fi nancial advisor and your accountant before embarking on this suggestion.

You or your authorized representative can fi nd out whether you have had capital gains in the last three years by going to your My Account at http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/menu-eng.html.

If you have not already done so you will need to sign up to My Account by following the links. Most Tax Preparers will have had you sign a T1013 Authorization to Represent a Client. This allows them to check on your My Account for you. This article is supplied by Faye Reynen, public accountant, Certifi ed Professional Bookkeeper and owner of Reynen Business Services Ltd.

LANDMARK

A new exhibi-tion opening at the Camp-

bell River Art Gallery today features gor-geous ceramic sculp-tural vessels inspired by Hornby Island’s sea life.

Artist Rachelle Chin-nery’s pieces in the exhibition Portrait of an Ocean, sponsored by Sure Copy Print Copy and Business Centre, spring from her two passions: ceramics and kayaking.

Chinnery moved to Hornby Island in 2007 to explore these two loves, and the resultant

creative process has resulted in exciting ceramic pieces featur-ing smooth glazes and wave-like forms.

In Chinnery’s work, clay reflects the physi-cal characteristics of bone, sand and teeth, while silken glaze reflects the smooth skins of mammals and the reflective quality of water.

Her exhibition also includes accompany-ing poetry and a beach-inspired installation piece.

Chinnery has studied Japanese ceramics for nearly four years and

has also studied at the Sheridan College of Art and Design and the Emily Carr School of Art and Design.

Her ceramic vessels move far beyond every-day function to become sculptures with a tac-tile draw. Chinnery has received support from the Hornby Island Arts Council for this exhibi-tion.

See Portrait of an Ocean until Aug. 24 during the Campbell River Art Gallery’s summer hours, Mon-day to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admis-sion is by donation.

As summer finally makes it start, rumour has it that one intrepid traveler has been in our midst these recent weeks, burning up the pavement on a personal quest to unveil all things arts and culture in the Campbell River area and on Quadra Island.

This bon vivante has been turning up at open mic nights, admiring art exhibited in galleries and local shops and cafes, visiting heritage sites,

artist studios, local markets, and attending concerts and events.

She’s even been sighted with camera and easel, inspired by the beauty of our local views. Her name is Lavinia, and her passion is wholeheartedly experiencing the places she visits.

From our major cultural institutions to grass roots expressions of arts in our community, Lavinia has done her best to experience it all.

Lavinia’s Creative Guide to the Campbell River area will be available at the Visitors Information Centre, and many other locations in Campbell River. Lavinia has put her personal stamp on the guide. Following her map of cultural activities and destinations will be like meeting Lavinia in person.

This summer, register your child for “Acrylic Adven-tures,” a week-long art

camp for children ages 7-12 from July 23-27 (five sessions).

The camp runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day, perfect for parents with a busy schedule. Instruc-tor and summer student Jessica Blue has a wealth of activities and projects in store, including outdoor sketching, painting on a variety of surfaces, as well as les-sons on colour theory and vari-ous artists’ techniques.

Students will work mainly with acrylic paint and look at a vari-ety of artists and art movements each day. They will then use this inspiration to create their own beautiful works of art.

Blue is currently a University of Victoria student, working towards a degree in Visual Arts. As painting is her main focus at university, she has a lot of new ideas and energy to bring to the table for this class.

“It is going to be a jam packed and exciting week,” says Blue.

“I’m really looking forward to working with the kids. This camp is a great opportunity for them to try new styles of painting in a fun, group setting. The outdoor component will also give partici-pants a chance to be inspired by the beauty of Campbell River.”

The cost for the week of art is $165 for members of the Art Gal-lery and $175 for non-members. This includes all materials and supplies, provided by the Gallery. There is a bursary program avail-able, sponsored by the Friends Group of the Campbell River Art Gallery, for low-income fami-lies. For more information on bursaries or to register, call 250-287-2261 or email [email protected]. You can also register in person at the Gallery in Tyee Plaza, across from the Tidemark Theatre.

Check out the Art Gallery’s website at www.crartgallery.ca which includes information on classes, exhibitions and events. All Children’s art programs are sponsored by Grieg Seafood.

Clarence Mitchell, longtime Campbell River resident, passed peacefully from this life on July 3 in Campbell River and District General Hospital after a lengthy illness.

He is survived by his loving wife of 64 years, Betty (the former Betty Harpur), daughter Marion Gonsky (JR Kuster) of Campbell River, sons Dale (Joanne) of Vernon, Jerry (Doreen) of Port McNeill and Bob (Lil) of Nanaimo, eight grandchildren and fourteen great-grandchildren with another one on the way, and his brother Allen Mitchell of Chase.

Growing up during the Depression years without a mother, Mitch had a diffi cult early life but formed a deep relationship with his only sibling (at the time), Murray, who predeceased him several years ago. After a stint in the Merchant Marine service during WW II, Mitch met Betty and married her in 1947. The love and inspiration provided by Betty and her family (especially Betty's mother Mary) changed his life and helped him to become the great dad that he was. Mitch and Betty moved to the coast in 1949 and raised their family in several locations on Vancouver Island, moving to Campbell River in 1959 and with the exception of one year, have lived there ever since.

Mitch was an excellent provider and spent most of his working life close to the forest industry as a machine operator, trucker and mechanic. He could tackle any repair job and fi nd a way to fi x any machine. He never lacked confi dence when faced with a new challenge.

His retirement years were truly golden. Their home was a crossroads for family and friends of all ages. Visitors were many and often, especially at happy hour on Fridays.

Mitch was well attended in his fi nal hours by family and friends, a sign of a life well lived.

In lieu of a service, there will be an informal tea at the Elks Hall, 516 South Dogwood Street, from 2 to 4 pm on Saturday July 14. Friends are invited to drop by, share a story about Mitch and wish him well on his new journey.

No fl owers, by request of the family. In appreciation of the excellent and caring treatment he received from hospital staff, donations may be made in his name to the CR Hospital Foundation.

The Crash to Pass cars hooked up fibre-glass bottom boats to their cars Saturday night in the season’s first boat race. Cars had to crash

into the each other’s boats in order to pass their competitor on the track. The winner was the car with the most boat left at the end.

Eve of Destruction at Saratoga SpeedwaySaratoga Speedway’s

first boat race and an amazing firework show highlighted the “Eve of Destruction” night on Saturday.

Billy Brimacombe Jr., (#66) outlasted his competitors to win his first ever crash to pass boat race, with second place in the boat race going to Sheldon Hopp (73), in a close race.

The Hornet cars had a great 35 lap main event. Cameron Phil-lips (09) led the main event for the first 12 last, holding off Daryl Cahill (02), but Cahill would find his way around on lap 13.

Lap 15 drew the first caution of the race, bunching the field up. On the restart, Kevin Lawrenuk (01) briefly took the lead, but Cahill retook his lead one lap later and never looked back from there, winning his third main event of the year.

In the Crash to Pass class, Troy Tarbuck (88) who was mak-ing his return to Sara-

toga after a few weeks off, dominated the 20 lap feature main event, leading all but four laps to take his third main event win of the year.

In the f igure 8 class, Cindy Kennedy (15) dominated the field, winning all of the Figure 8 races on the night.

Finally, Duane Zein-stra (17) also had a great night in the Road-runner class, winning the heat and leading every lap of the eight lap main event to win his first race of the year.

Extra laps.. .Next weekend marks the return of the fastest cars on the Island – the Wingless Sprint cars which were last seen at Saratoga two years ago. These cars average a lap time of 13-14 seconds, which is by far the fasted class in British Columbia. The I.M.C.A Modi-fieds, Bomber cars and the Motorcycles will also be racing next weekend.

Ravens wrap up season

Come cheer on the Junior Ravens as they play their last two home games of the season at Rod Brind’Amour Arena this weekend, followed by a final game in Nanaimo on Wednes-day. On Saturday the Ravens will host the Penninsula Warriors while on Sunday the Ravens go head-to-head with the Saanich Tigers.

The last time the Ravens met the Saan-ich Tigers (then in first place) the Ravens took a sweep over the Tigers with a 10-9 win as the squad looks for-ward to a rematch in their home barn. As the Ravens close the season, this will be the final games for Kris Hebert, Brayden Howes, Troy Marks (injury list)

and goaltender Logan Down. These boys leave the Ravens bench after many years of minor and junior lacrosse in Campbell River which includes a Midget Pro-vincial Championship.

The Ravens will also be holding their final fundraiser of the year with a summer raffle. Win a barbeque, golf for two at Storey Creek Golf Course or a Food Sealer. Tickets are available at the door, 3 for $5 both game days, and the draw will take place during the third period of Sunday’s game.

Doors open for Sat-urday’s game at 5 p.m., game time at 5:30 p.m. Sunday’s game starts at 4 p.m., doors open at 3:30 p.m. Regular admission is $4.

The Salmon Kings competed in yet another Island swim meet last weekend– this time 20 members travelled down to Courtenay to race.

Finn Bodnar and Sean Coulter both had spectacular meets with best times in each of their events.

Jamiliya Wellard, Jordann War ner, Kassidy Leighton, Kyla Painter and Janika Scriba all swam well as division 2 girls this weekend while Caitlin Laforge earned a ton of per-sonal bests in her division 3 category.

Anna Glum swam a great 50-metre but-terfly and Amy-Jane had an amazing IM taking off almost 20 seconds.

Olivia Carter, Nadia Gilson and Megan Wilson also had great weekends working hard for some top fin-ishes.

Owen Wellard had a great meet racing hard in his 50-metre butterfly and Kurtis Scriba had an amaz-ing 200 IM, taking off nearly 16 seconds.

Shelby Robertson and Keagan Leighton shared the title of Swimmer of the Meet for their amazing swims and positive attitudes throughout the weekend.

The Salmon Kings had another week-end of success pump-ing them up for this weekend in Nanaimo where they will face of f against more teams on the Island and new teams visit-ing from the main-land.

Sean Coulter swims the 100-metre breast stroke in Courtenay last Sunday.

The “Young Masters” FC soccer team claimed back-to-back OB Allen Championships last week in the North Island Men’s Spring league. This was the

90th annual and is one of the oldest soccer tro-phies in B.C. The local men’s team defeated the Courtenay Imports 3-0 thanks to a hat trick by Kyle Bate.

FC wins oldest trophy

Three local youth rugby athletes have been chosen to play for the Tsunami Rugby Academy and repre-sent North Vancouver Island in the Provincial Regional Champion-ships at the University of British Columbia, today through Sunday.

The championships are the first step for elite youth rugby play-ers who wish to play for Team BC and Can-ada’s National Team.

Georgia Bellamy, 15, will play a key role at prop in the U18 Girls division.

Bellamy has played the last two school sea-

sons with G.P. Vanier in Courtenay, and helped that team to a silver medal at the recent AAA BC Girls High School Provin-cials.

Cracking Tsunami’s U16 Boys lineup is 8-man Jackson Locker, 15.

Locker also played that position for the Carihi Boys team this past season.

He too has picked up the game in a relatively short time, first play-ing rugby as a 13-year old at Phoenix Middle School.

Rounding out the trio is Anthony Hol-

linger, 17, who will play flanker for Tsunami’s U18 Boys team.

A natural leader, he was the elected captain of this season’s Carihi Boys team.

“He is your typical ideal flanker - always first to the breakdown,” says Carihi head coach Darren Munro.

“His dedication to the team and sport through extra fitness and ball-handling sessions on his own time also sets him apart.”
