Prevailing winds are beginning to relieve smoky conditions that hit Campbell River Sunday.

The Ministry of Environment and Island Health are leaving a wildfire smoke advisory in place until the current weather conditions improve, however.

We had an overnight marine push that has cleared much of the smoke at ground level, said Earle Plain, air quality meteorologist with MOE, on Tuesday. But the smoke remains aloft, so well continue to see the red sun in the mornings and evenings.

Smoke from a series of wildfires in mainland B.C. will likely continue to impact much of Vancouver Island until there is a shift in the high-pressure system that has lingered over coastal B.C., or until the fires are put out, Plain added.

The ministry and Island Health issued a joint wildfire smoke advi-sory Sunday afternoon that covers a region stretching from Victoria in the south to Campbell River.

The westerly winds that moved in Monday and overnight into Tueday have provided improved conditions at particulate measuring stations in Victoria, Cowichan and Nanaimo, but Plain said elevated readings were still occuring Tuesday in Courtenay and Campbell River.

A particulate measuring station on Dogwood Street in Campbell River recorded a spike from 12 micro-grams per cubic metre to more than 100 micrograms/m3 between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Monday afternoon Thats very high, said Plain and Campbell Rivers hourly average

from 9 a.m. Monday to 9 a.m. Tues-day was 52.5.

Exposure to particulate pollution from wildfires can be a particular risk to infants, the elderly and those who have underlying medical con-ditions, including asthma, diabetes and lung or heart disease, Island Health reported.

Residents within the advisory area are urged to avoid strenuous out-door activity, and to contact their health care providers if they expe-rience difficulty in breathing, chest pain or discomfort and the sudden onset of cough or irritation of air-ways.

Residents with asthma or other chronic illness are urged to activate their asthma or personal care plan.

The advisory includes Port Alberni, which is impacted by its own forest fire on Dog Mountain, near Sproat Lake. Another Island fire, which caused the evacuation of nearly 200 residents in Port Hardy over the weekend, has been partially contained and residents have been allowed to return under an evacu-ation alert. No air quality advisory is posted for the Island north of Campbell River.

All of the smoke impacting the east side of Vancouver Island is com-ing from the mainland, and has been funneled into a single, large plume.

There are a lot of different sources of smoke causing issue on the Island and the Sunshine Coast, said Plain. Its coming from the Penticton fire, the Pemberton fire and the Sech-elt fire, and its shooting across the strait through all these inlets.

Plain said satellite imagery from Sunday showed the smoke pushing through Sechelt and striking the

Qualicum/Parksville area before flowing south. Since then, however, winds have shifted to the west.

With the shift to westerlies, were seeing that plume pushed to the north, Plain said Monday afternoon. Courtenay is getting slammed right now, and its on the way to Campbell River.

Long term, Plain said, the high

pressure system that has lingered over the Island will remain for the foreseeable future, meaning relief from the smoke will be dependent on surface winds and on the efforts of firefighting crews.

The current improvement in con-ditions at ground level will benefit those with at-risk health conditions, but Plain warned that conditions

can remain variable as long as the fires continue to burn.

The thing about wildfire smoke is that it really changes quickly, he said. You can have one good hour, and then it gets bad again.

Real-time air quality information, including readings from the Dog-wood monitoring station, is avail-able online at www.bcairquality.ca.

In May 2008, legisla-tion was introduced to protect and conserve heritage lighthouses, across Canada.

In May 2012, the peti-tion period closed for nominations.

Last week, the first 74 heritage lighthouses in Canada were announced, and Quadras very own Cape Mudge Lighthouse was on the list, along with 20 others in B.C.

Located on the south-western tip of Quadra Island, the octagonal concrete lighthouse was built in 1916, replacing the original structure

that stood on the site a square wooden house built in 1898.

The heritage designa-tion process wasnt with-out its controversy, how-ever. In August of 2011, Chief Ralph Dick of the We Wai Kai First Nation, whose land is home to the lighthouse, asked the Strathcona Regional Dis-trict (SRD) to butt out of their affairs, which is what the band felt was happening by seeking the heritage recognition for the site.

The SRD said they were only interested in ensuring the build-ing itself would be pre-served. The building is owned and operated

by the federal govern-ment and operated by the Coast Guard, they said, and they wanted to

ensure it was protected from the whims of the federal government.

At the time, Jim Abram

Strathcona Regional Districts Quadra Island Director now Chair and retired lightsta-tion-keeper for 25 years said, The Coast Guard is our worst enemy as far as light stations are con-cerned.

And he still believes that.

This announcement means that the station itself will not only be be preserved, but also remain the same rather than being changed by the Coast Guard on a whim, he said. This is a big win for us. Weve been fighting this battle for 25 years in regards to the preservation of these structures and the rec-

ognition of their impor-tance to the nation, he said.

Theres no more effi-cient or effective system in the country than light stations, he said, not-ing that station keep-ers not only keep ships from wrecking on dan-gerous shorelines, but also provide vital sci-ence, weather and other record-keeping services as well as performing life-saving and search-and-rescue roles.

Abram sees the con-servation announcement as a birthday gift to the nation from the federal government, adding its fitting that it also comes just before the Cape

Mudge stations 100th birthday.

Im ecstatic that it was one of the first on the list, Abram said.

Abrams said one of the reasons that the Cape Mudge station is in such good shape, even after 100 years, is that its the only tower on true coast of B.C. probably in Canada that was made with fresh water.

A well was dug on the property to make the concrete used in the continuous-pour, Abram said, which compared to concrete made with salt-water, is much stronger.

Its also an iconic structure for the area, Abram said.

Cape Mudge Lighthouse recognized as heritage site

Constructed in 1916, the Lighthouse at Cape Mudge was recently dedicated as one of the first 74 heritage lighthouses in Canada by Parks Canada after an extensive evaluation and designation process.

Conservation Officer Bryce Casavant has been suspended without pay pending a performance investigation after he refused to put down two bear cubs this weekend.

The baby bears (pic-tured tranquilized, right), a brother and sister, were orphaned after their mother was put down after she had, at least twice, broken into a freezer of salmon and deer meat inside a mobile home on Hardy Bay Road. Cassavant stressed the sows actions were at no fault of the property owner.

Although it is unlikely the mother (and cubs) was in town due to the fire, it is hard to know, said Casavant.

On July 5, Casavant and members of the Port Hardy Fire Department literally pulled out all stops to rescue the babies who had come back to the property and were up a tree calling for their dead mother.

They (firefighters) had their high-angle res-cue specialist scale the tree and rappel down on top of the bears to lower them to me. I then tran-

quilized them by hand, said Casavant.

The babies were esti-mated to be about eight weeks and weigh 20 to 25 pounds, are healthy and still nursing.

We were there for a couple hours, Casavant said.

Its immoral to shoot a helpless baby bear, they are nursing still. They are not garbage bears. They are infants, said Rob Hodder, the owner of the mobile home.

I have an Aboriginal background and deem them to be a sacred ani-mal to our people and I want them to be saved, Fodder said.

After their capture, the babies were transported to the Port Hardy Vet-erinary Hospital for a health assessment and containment.

Casavant then made the decision to transport the bears down Island to the North Island Wildlife

Recovery Association facility in Errington, as per provincial policy regarding bear cubs, despite an order that they be destroyed.

I think it is important for the community to know that I am here to do the right thing, said Casavant.

Theres a lot of con-troversy there right now, isnt there, said Recov-ery Association Wildlife

Manager and Founder Robin Campbell, who is now housing the two youngsters.

The Ministry has decided to have us care for them at this point, said Campbell, until an investigation is done.

T h e c o n t r o v e r s y occurred after the Min-istry of Environment received conf licting reports, one that said the cubs were eating garbage

and another which said that was not the case.

Because they were reported to be eating garbage, the cubs were ordered destroyed.

If that account is true, said Campbell, the cubs would indeed need to be destroyed because they would remember and they could become very dangerous for peoples safety.

However, if the alter-

native is true based on information the man on the ground (Casa-vant) who would have the most accurate infor-mation received after interviewing the people involved, the cubs would be candidates for reha-bilitation and relocation, Campbell said.

The cubs are currently being housed in a room next to some other cubs at the centre and have

been marked with a bit of paint to identify them.

If there is any negative behaviour we will be able to see it, Campbell said, adding that the Minis-try was only acting on information that was initially given to them. They go out of their way to bring us bears.

Statements by Bryce Casavant were made to Black Press prior to him being suspended.

Port Hardy declared a state of emergency on July 4 after a wild-fire discovered a day earlier burned through the weekend, causing evacuations of about 100 homes and an influx of helicopters, ground crews and other resources into the area.

The fire, believed to be caused by human activ-ity, was discovered early in the evening of July 3 near the Tsulquate River 1.5 km from Port Hardy. Air tankers began to drop retardant on the fire Friday evening, but had to ground when night fell. Heavy winds blew sparks that began a spot fire. Around 8:30 p.m. residents of Upper Carnarvon and Mayors Way began to be evacu-ated, and an Emergency Operations Centre was set up at the Port Hardy Civic Centre. As the sun went down Friday, smoke filled the town.

On Saturday morn-ing the town declared a state of emergency as the main fire grew to eight hectares overnight in addition to the one-hectare spot fire.

Heavy hel icopters applied water to the area while ground crews worked with the chal-lenge of the fire burning in heavy coastal tim-ber. Coastal Fire Centre classified the fire as a high risk ground fire. By Saturday afternoon the main fire was mea-sured at 16 hectares, and the dry, hot and windy conditions proved chal-lenging for the ground crews and helicopters working throughout the day. Mike McCulley, Fire Information Officer with B.C. Wildfire Service, said Saturday that this is significant fire with aggressive activity, and warned residents not to become complacent

just because the fire was emitting less smoke than the day before.

Between Saturday eve-ning and Sunday morn-ing the fire did not grow, but the persistently hot weather and strong winds had officials pre-paring for another chal-lenging day.

Paula Mackay, Fire Information Officer with the Coastal Fire Centre, said that the main fire on Sunday morning was measured at 16 hectares, and was 20 per cent con-tained, while the 1 hect-are spot fire was 80 per cent contained. The fire as of Sunday morning was considered a rank 1 fire, meaning a smoul-dering ground or creep-ing surface fire. Four helicopters continued to work on the fire Sunday in addition to ground crews.

Mayor Hank Bood reported Sunday that there were no new evac-uations being ordered, but that the situation was being repeatedly assessed. The key mes-sage today is that it is going to be the hottest, driest day of this week, said Bood.

By 1:30 p.m. Sunday, the Coastal Fire Centre reported that the main

fire have grown to 17 hectares, and said that 46 firefighters, 4 heli-copters and 7 pieces of heavy equipment were being used to fight it.

As of Monday morn-ing the spot fire had been contained and the evac-uation order the night before was changed to an evacuation alert, allowing residents to return to their homes. The main fire Monday morning continued to be

20% contained, but was considered a low ground fire burning in the old growth and roots. Mayor Bood said that fire crews were still on the scene and working hard, and stressed that even though the evacu-ation order had been lifted, everyone needed to be vigilant and aware that the order could be put back in place if the situation worsened.

The Tsulquate River

fire was just one of 50 new wildfires in B.C. this weekend. Victoria and Vancouver are both experiencing significant smoke and haze from the regions fires, and Vancouver has issued an air quality advisory. The province is currently under a fire ban that restricts any open fires or campfires.

Paula Mackay, Fire Information Officer with the Coastal Fire Centre, said that the main fire on Sunday morning was measured at 16 hectares, and was 20 per cent con-tained, while the 1 hect-are spot fire was 80 per cent contained. The fire

as of Sunday morning was considered a rank 1 fire, meaning a smoul-dering ground or creep-ing surface fire. Four helicopters continued to work on the fire Sunday in addition to ground crews. Mayor Hank Bood reported Sun-day that there were no new evacuations being ordered, but that the sit-uation was being repeat-edly assessed. The key message today is that it is going to be the hottest, driest day of this week, said Bood.

By 1:30 p.m. Sunday, the Coastal Fire Centre reported that the main fire had grown to 17

hectares, and said that 46 firefighters, four heli-copters and seven pieces of heavy equipment were being used to fight it.

As of Monday morn-ing the spot fire had been contained and the evac-uation order the night before was changed to an evacuation alert, allow-ing residents to return to their homes. The main fire Monday morning continued to be 20 per cent contained, but was considered a low ground fire burning in the old growth and roots.

The Tsulquate River fire was just one of 50 new wildfires in B.C. this weekend.

The Cape Mudge Lighthouse foghorn sounded Monday morning but it wasnt because of fog.

The shroud of forest fire smoke blanketing the south coast obscured Quadra Island from sight so badly that it set the foghorn off. The smoke was so thick on the water that Quadra disappeared from view from the Vancouver Island side of Discovery Passage.

The prevalence of smoke hanging over Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland has prompted health warnings from the Ministry of the Environment on Monday that said, As of Sunday night, and until fur-ther notice, a wildfire smoke advisory is in effect for

the east and south coasts of Vancouver Island from Campbell River to Victo-ria. Smoke concentra-tions, according to the advisory, will vary and possibly lessen before getting worse, because of

changes in wind direction and atmospheric pressureThe advisory recommends that people in the

affected areas avoid strenuous outdoor activities, and advises those experiencing, difficulty in breathing, chest pain or discomfort, and sudden onset of cough or irritation of airways, to contact their healthcare provider immediately.

Exposure is particularly a concern for infants, the elderly and those who have underlying medical con-ditions such as diabetes and lung or heart disease.

So, be careful out there and be particularly careful with behaviour that creates the risk of forest fire. The Campbell River area has been lucky so far and has escaped a fire in this area.

But we are at as high a risk for wildfire as anywhere else in the province.

If you are one of the groups at risk of respiratory distress due to the smoke, we hope things are not too uncomfortable and heres to a strong breeze to blow all this smoke away but spare a thought for our fire fighting crews who are striving to bring these fires under control.

Fire season hits hard in 2015

Our View

We say: Smokey skies require our most vulnerable to take care

Smoke on the water no hit in B.C.Good news for those who

believe camping is just not camping without the experi-ence of some genuine wood smoke:

Looks like youre back in action.

Thanks to the wind-borne donation wafting from Pem-berton and points throughout mainland B.C., you can enjoy the backwoods of Vancouver Island and get that genuine campfire experience without so much as lighting a match.

OK, not so much of a laugh. But for some real misery, you need only look at the long-term projection for this sum-mers fire conditions.

If the fire season seems earlier and more severe than usual, thats because it is. Those who have followed the dropping levels of our reser-voirs and rivers already know about the lack of snow runoff and spring rains.

Continued scarcity of rain-fall, combined with high temperatures, have turned the greater portion of B.C. into a tinderbox and the hot, dry conditions are only expected to persist.

Granted, the smog that has alternately drifted through or stopped to blanket Campbell River since Sunday is the result of fires across the strait. And a number of those have been caused by light-ning strikes.

Yet more than 40 per cent of B.C. wildfires are human-caused, according to the Ministry of Envi-ronment, and Vancouver Island is getting its share of them.

A blaze on Dog Moun-tain, suspected to be human caused, is providing Port Alberni with its own delightful red sunrises and sunsets, and has resulted in the evacuation of cabins accessible only by boat from Sproat Lake.

And a fire that broke out on the edge of Port Hardy last Friday led to a 48-hour evacuation of residents on two streets in the town before they were allowed to return under a mere evacuation alert. As of

Monday the fire remained just 20 per cent contained.

An open fire ban has been established for virtually the

entire island, except for the sliver of fog zone around Cape Scott on its northern tip. But that hasnt stopped people from reverting to old habits.

Jeff Aoki, mak-ing a routine fire patrol out of Port McNeill for the Ministry of For-ests, Lands and

Natural Resources over the weekend, came across a couple just preparing to light a pile of charcoal briquettes directly on the forest floor at Bonanza Lake.

I figured that with this fire ban in place it would be a non eventful day on fire patrol, Aoki shared on social media. The husband was literally flicking his lighter when I pulled up, and the briquettes were drenched with fire starter.

Campfires and carelessly tossed butts are not the only causes of wildfires started by humans. The use of ATVs and other machinery in the woods at a time like this comes with risks every user should weigh and mitigate.

When parts of Vancouver Island were slapped with a Level 3 drought rating in mid-June, it was the earliest such occurrence on record. Just a few weeks later, were at Level 4, the provinces highest drought rating.

Meanwhile, we continue to make the best of the situation. Despite a wildfire smoke advi-sory issued Sunday afternoon by MOE and Island Health, residents could still be seen Monday frolicking in the sands and waters of Storries Beach, or walking, jogging or cycling along the Seawalk in Willow Point, even as the haze of Pemberton obscured the usual view of the mainland in the distance.

In other words, it could be worse.

And, if we dont pay atten-tion to our own actions, it will be.

Roger McDonell Commented on Council taken to task over boat ramps - Facebook

Interesting that no mention of the boat ramp at the Discovery Harbour Marina was made in this article. It is useable at all tides, has a long float where you can tie your boat and there is lots of parking. It only costs $10 but maybe that is the problem. It would seem that fisherman want a FREE boat ramp because we are the Salmon Capital of the World of course. It seems to me that a free boat ramp is still paid for by all those who pay taxes and most dont use boat ramps. For the record I pay the $10 and use the Campbell River Indian Bands very good all weather boat ramp.

Long-time Camp-bell River resident Ted Turner, 91, a former aviator with the RCAF, Island Air and Air BC, and an active supporter of the Royal Canadian Legion, died at his home at Berwick-by-the-Sea on Friday.

The Halifax bomber tail-gunner, who sur-vived a full tour of 35 operational missions into occupied Europe during World War II, died suddenly attended by his son Mark and emergency person-nel, just months after receiving the new RCAF Bomber Command Bar medal for his wartime service.

Turner took great pride in his time in the RCAF and that his entire seven-man aircraft crew had sur-vived the war almost completely unscathed, despite the enormous losses in Bomber Com-mand, particularly among tail-gunners.

After coming to Campbell River in 1966 from Ontario, Turner became a pilot with Island Air and Air BC, retiring at 58 in 1982.

Turner attended numerous military cer-emonies here with the Legion and in April this year laid a wreath and represented the Legion in being one of a small handful of WWII vet-eran guest of honour at ceremonies in April to mark the 70th anniver-sary of the Liberation of the Netherlands in 1945.

Ten years before, he had attended 60th anniversary celebra-tions in Holland, where he was feted along with many other Canadian veterans; and in July 2012 ago he was one of the RCAF guests of honour at the unveiling of a Bomber Command memorial in London, England, unveiled by Prince Charles. He recalled that he and Prince Charles shook hands and had a brief chat. Tuner invited Prince Charles to come

to Campbell River to do some fishing

Turner, the young-est and last-surviving

sibling of a large family in Manitoba, leaves son Mark, three grandchil-dren and four great-

grandchildren.A memorial service is

planned at the Legion at 1 p.m. Sunday July 19.

T h e S t r a t h c o n a Regional District wants the province to reduce ferry fares on its minor routes by 25 per cent.

The board voted at its meeting June 25 to write a letter to the B.C. gov-ernment requesting the

rate hike.The re quest was

prompted by a study conducted for the Islands Trust Council, a federa-tion of local government bodies representing small coastal communi-ties.

The council, in May, hired consulting firm Perrin Thorau and Asso-

ciates to calculate the cost of lowering fares on all minor ferry routes.

The consultants used recent BC Ferries oper-ating results and fare information to build its report.

The consultants cal-culated that an addi-tional $11 to $14 million is needed annually to

reduce fares by 25 per cent from todays prices, on all minor routes on B.C.s coast, wrote Peter Luckham, chair of the Islands Trust Council, in a letter to the Strathcona Regional District. Our funding calculations give the province cred-ible information to make a sound investment deci-

sion.Luckham said that

having the government pay into the ferry sys-tem would strengthen the provinces economy, making it a worthwhile investment.

We have a construc-tive proposal, Luckham said. Affordable fares would attract more cus-

tomers into the ferry system, bolster B.C.s economy and result in increased provincial tax revenues a win-win for everyone.

He said that coastal communities, which are struggling under the weight of ferry fares which have increased above the rate of infla-tion, would also benefit.

For years, weve heard clearly from our com-munities that ferry fare increases have been too steep and are caus-ing hardship for coastal families and businesses, Luckham said.

The Island Trust Coun-cils proposal to the B.C. government is timed to influence negotiations

on a new BC Ferries Coastal Ferry Services Contract, which will run from 2016 to 2020.

Current negotiations for a renewed Coastal Ferry Services Contract are a perfect opportu-nity for the government to invest in coastal com-munities, Luckham said. We believe a well-adver-tised drop in fares on the minor routes would help our communities bounce back and give us all time to work on longer-term solutions with the prov-ince.

Luckham said its time the provincial govern-ment took action to alle-viate the cost pressures facing coastal communi-ties.

KRISTEN DOUGLASCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

The city will adminis-ter a count of the citys homeless to determine how best to help Camp-bell Rivers most vulner-able.

Council, at its Monday meeting, voted to have city staff work with the Campbell River Housing Resource Centre to con-duct a detailed absolute homelessness count.

Council also agreed to spend up to $2,000 with the money to come from councils contingency account.

The initiative came from Coun. Ron Kerr who told council that if the city intends to lobby the province for home-

lessness funding, the city needs to have all the facts.

We havent had a count in Campbell River since probably 2008 or before that, Kerr said. It really does give the community something we can use in making decisions and in discus-sions with the ministry, BC Housing and Island Health. It gives the real, hard facts and I think its really important that we do that right away as winters coming and it will definitely give everyone a true indica-tion of whats happening on the streets.

Kerr served notice at the June 22 coun-cil meeting, following a presentation from a

group of the citys home-less, that he would be asking council to sup-port the homeless count.

The issue has been front and centre at City Hall since early June when the citys homeless camped out on the front lawn of the municipal building to get answers as to when a proposed sobering assessment centre will come to frui-tion and if the annual winter shelter will be back this year.

While the sobering assessment centre is still at least a year away because the site slated for the centre isnt yet available, the winter shelter is largely depen-dent on the city securing money from the prov-

ince and BC Housing, combined with annual Island Health funding.

Coun. Colleen Evans said Kerrs proposed homeless count will help the city in its efforts to lobby for money.

If we have that infor-mation its going to allow us to move forward with other funding opportu-nities, Evans said. Def-initely the homelessness situation in Campbell River is going to be criti-cal as we move forward. I think the timeliness of this is very important.

Coun. Michele Bab-chuk said the count will help council determine how it can help the most vulnerable.

If we dont have the baseline numbers, its

going to be very difficult to come to some sort of conclusion on what exactly we need in this community, Babchuk said. Its something that I, as a new council-lor, that I dont totally have my head wrapped around, exactly the amount of people that are out there, the demo-graphics of the people, or what resources we already have in the com-munity.

Kerrs intention is to model the count on a survey done annually by the City of Vancou-ver which outlines the number of homeless, how many are using the citys shelters, their incomes, their health, as well as the age, ethnicity,

and gender of the aver-age homeless person.

Coun. Larry Samson wondered how city staff would compile such data.

Our staff is not trained in going out into Nunns Creek Park and the ERT Road and dif-ferent areas like this and trying to do detailed homeless counts, so how does he see our staff s role and what depart-ment would take the lead on this? Samson asked Kerr.

Kerr said he would look for advice from staff on how best to conduct the count and suggested staff from the Housing Resource Cen-tre do the actual count.

Coun. Charlie Corn-

field agreed.I would think that

staff would be the ones administering the fund-ing, not necessarily doing the counting. The Campbell River Housing Resource Service would be the ones conducting it and they would need someone to liaise with from the city, Cornfield said.

I would not want to see our bylaw enforce-ment people out there doing the counts. Theres also couch surfers who fit into the homeless-ness definition. Theres other things besides just who lives in the bush, so to me, I think we should be leaving it up to the Housing Resource to do the count.

Summer should be fun. Why am I feeling lousy?

Summers here. Sunshine, long days, beaches, barbeques, and parties. Best time of the year, right? Summer is a fabulous time to kick back and relax, experience new things, slow down and de-stress. However, it can also expose inner turmoil such as anxiety, depression, or relationship con icts. It may appear that others are having all the fun, leaving a person feeling left out, lonely and vulnerable. Summer vacations can be inspiring, or can open old wounds. Some issues arent solved by the sunshine. Its a good time to reach out for support. The need for professional help doesnt take a summer vacation. If summer isnt working out as happily as you hoped it would, take the rst step to help yourself feel better. Make the call, and talk to Fran.

Is my donation paying for something the government should be funding?Private donations allow priority medical equipment to be replaced faster than if government funding alone was relied on. Your help enables improvements to patient care to happen more quickly. The idea of supplementing public funding for health care through private donations has long tradition and is common practice across Canada. The reality is that increased needs for modernized medical equipment make it impossible for government to replace equipment as promptly as desired. With your help, the Campbell River Hospital Foundation helps fund nearly 20% of capital medical equipment purchases for the Campbell River Hospital.

Pounding the pavement? It seems intuitive that regular running subjects the knee to so much wear and tear that it should increase your risk for developing osteoarthritis later in life. With each foot strike, a runners knee endures forces up to 8 times bodyweight. For a 150lb. person, thats about 1200 lb. of impact step after steppounding the pavement indeed! The medical research, however, shows the opposite: not only is there no connection between running and OA, but that running may help protect you from health problems later on. In a Stanford University study, researchers tracked nearly 1000 runners and non-runners over a period of 21 years. The runners knees were no more or less healthy than the non-runners. Moreover, the runners experienced substantially less physical disability and had a 39% lower mortality rate. A normally functioning knee can not only withstand, but actually ourish under repeated loading. The cartilage that acts as a shock absorber in your knees is mostly avascular, meaning it does not have arteries that deliver it blood. As a result, cartilage relies on the pumping action of movement to deliver oxygen and nutrients. Think of your knee like a sponge, when you bear weight it wrings out the used joint uid and when you release the pressure it sucks up fresh uid. That is not to say that there are no risks in running. It can sometimes cause soft tissue injuries and stress fractures. New runners are especially at risk if they try to run too much or too quickly too soon. Even seasoned runners can run into injury problems if they have an alignment problem in their leg or trunk. If you fear you might be developing an injury related to your running, all the Physiotherapists at Rehabilitation in Motion have experience with gait analysis and can help you with your alignment. And in case youre worried, not all treatment plans call for you to give up your running habit!

This pain occurs due to a 40% increase in blood volume, along with release of Relaxin (a chemical that relaxes joints), among other factors. Due to the laxity that occurs in joints from this process, getting speci c exercises for the individual is essential in reducing pain, and limiting long term problems.

What is a 3 Part Nutrient? A 3 part nutrient is an allpurpose plant food formula that will grow everything! Combine Grow, Bloom andMicro nutrients into your water at different ratios depending on the stage your plant is in, to have utmost control of the food yourplant requires. For instance, if you are in the vegetative stage, you are using more Grow, the same amount of Micro and a less amount of Bloom. If you are in the owering stage, it is simply the other way around, using more Bloom than Grow. This is an affordable, high quality way to feed your plants. We are getting great feedback on our new 3 Part by Cascadian Plant Food, proudly made right here in Campbell River. We still have plenty of free samples for you to try. Come on in and get some, and get more information on how to grow beautiful and nutritious veggies and owers.

Care

How does respite carehelp caregivers? Often taking care of a loved one is a responsibility that is added into an already crowded schedule. It can entail driving to and from doctor appointments, grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning up or just checking in on a daily basis to be sure the proper medications are being taken and the dishes are washed. In some instances, a lengthy commute to be sure all is in order is part of the routine. Providing care and support for another household can add hours to an already demanding day. Stretching your time and your energy too thin can result in you being the one who cannot function properly. That is why respite care has such value. It gives you time to stop, catch a breath, and rest up. The person who is receiving care is comfortable, getting necessary attention, and can rest easy in the knowledge that you are getting a much deserved break in your schedule. Whether you have someone who has an ongoing illness, or even someone who has just been released from the hospital, reaching out to a professional respite-care provider can make all the difference. Knowing that someone who is trained in the health care profession is providing support and encouragement for your relative enables you to maintain a peaceful state of mind and a guilt-free healthy life balance. With respite services, you can recharge without fear that the person relying on your care is being abandoned. Whether it is for the time needed with medical assistance while recovering from a hospital stay, or a short stay with respite while the caregiver attends business meetings, peace of mind is the best medicine a caregiver can receive.

Do life insurance agents really need all my personal information?

They do if they are doing their job well. To ensure you are taken care of, not over or underinsured, that your coverage affordable etc. they should be asking a lot of questions. Not just what you do for a living and how much you make, but what your future plans are, actually running a cash ow to make sure you can afford the coverage you need. A good insurance agent is not just a salesperson, but also a Financial Advisor, who must follow very strict regulations regarding identity veri cation, money laundering, privacy, and doing his or her duciary duty. The latter simply means that whatever he or she does must be in the best interest of the client, and you need as much information as possible to really determine what that is.

Whats the best use for my tax refund?

With the increase in TFSA maximums I am encouraging people to put the refund there rst. It can always be withdrawn in the spring to top up an RRSP but in the meantime it is growing and tax sheltered, plus gives you an emergency account to tap into if needed. Ideally, you will have sat down with your Financial Advisor when you bought RRSPs, or simply did tax planning, and the refund will have a speci c place in your overall plan. It may be paying off high interest debt, paying down your mortgage, or used to pay for something in advance (instead of getting a loan) such as a vehicle, or home renos. If you dont have a plan, top up your TFSA and nd an trusted Advisor.

Campbell River Childrens Choir spends Canada Day Singing in Ottawa

Artists to take over downtown for annual festival July 25

Members of the Campbell River Chil-drens Choir returned home from Ottawa after a whirlwind of rehearsals and Canada Day performances.

The young singers gave three perfor-mances in the National Arts Centre for over 5,000 enthusiastic audience members. Two of the performances were with the famous National Arts Centre Orchestra under the direction of Maestro Alain Trudel. The singers represented all of British Colum-bia and they joined forces with choirs from Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Nova Sco-

tia and Nunavut to make the celebration truly national.

The rehearsals leading up to the Canada Day shows were intense in order to ensure a high quality performance on Canadas national stage and the choir members rose to the challenge.

The demanding rehearsal schedule resulted in standing ovations from the pub-lic at the Arts Centre.

Their last show finished just in time to walk across confederation square and wit-ness the spectacular fireworks on Parlia-

ment Hill. In addition to the group perfor-mances, the choir performed solo sets at the Rotunda of the House of Parliament, at Rideau Park United Church, and at the Sharing Our Songs concert where the vari-ous choirs presented their music to the pub-lic and to each other.

This project became a reality choir thanks to a number of individuals and businesses.

The singers demonstrated a level of skill and discipline on this demanding tour should thats worthy of pride in all the community.
