Riley Teufel’s early morning walk turned into a nightmare after a terrifying encounter with a bear forced him to play dead on the side of the road.

Teufel, 19, was walking towards the Sportsplex on South Alder Street about 9 a.m. last Saturday morning when he heard a rus-tling in the bushes.

Assuming it was a deer, Teufel was surprised to see a bear emerge from the trail between Candy Lane and the Sportsplex bike bath.

“It was fairly big, bigger than me,” Teufel said. “I thought ‘what am I going to do’ and then as I thought that, it started to come towards me so I threw the apple that I had with me and I thought it would go after the apple.”

But the bear, which Teufel said had brown fur, wasn’t interested in the apple and instead kept com-ing closer and closer.

In a moment of panic, Teufel couldn’t remember whether to run or lie down when encounter-ing a bear.

“Initially my first response was ‘I can sprint fairly well’ but then looking at the size of the bear, I knew it would outrun me so I lay down on the sidewalk and just played dead,” Teufel said. “I thought ‘is this the end?’ and all of a sudden I could feel the bear’s

RENÉE ANDORCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

“They were afraid of my dog paddle; I wasn’t very elegant,” said Canadian funny man Rick Mercer of the salmon he swam with in the Campbell River ear-lier this week.

The Rick Mercer Report crew filmed Mercer as he did the Des-tiny River Adventures’ raft and snorkel with the salmon tour

on the Campbell River this past Tuesday.

The show, which airs on CBC, features political comedy as well as zany adventures all over the country.

Mercer said he plans to come back to Campbell River as he thoroughly enjoyed the trip.

“It was a great day at the office,” said Mercer. “Myself, and my camera man, and the director, we were just pinching

ourselves we were so lucky to be there.”

All along the river people were waiting to catch a glimpse of the Canadian icon, and had posted signs reading things like “Wel-come Rick,” and “We love you Rick.”

And although the famous New-fie said Campbell River and New-foundland compare like “chalk and cheese” because they are

Whales in the eveningA small pod of orca attracted attention off Francisco Point at the south end of Quadra Island last Saturday. About six whales werespotted off the point as a group of boats returned from an opening of a new Orientation Centre at the Homalco Wlidlife Tours facility at Orford Bay.

breath on my face and a terrible smell – it smelled awful.”

For about one agonizing minute, the bear sniffed Teufel from his head all the way down to his feet before he heard the bear walk away towards the apple he had thrown.

“I heard the crunching but I then I opened my eyes and I could see he still wasn’t leaving.

The entire time I just kept thinking, ‘go away, go away’ and then finally I heard a car revving its engine and a horn honking,” Teufel said.

Two men driving down the street saw Teufel lying on the ground and the bear nearby and thought he had been mauled. Teufel said one of the men jumped out of the car and ran over to check that he was okay.

“I told him I was fine but I was in such shock that I didn’t even thank the guy and I feel awful about that,” Teufel said. “I want to say thank you to both of them for scaring off the bear because I didn’t get a chance to.”

Teufel said he’s not sure what type of bear it was that gave him such a scare but said it didn’t look like the black bears he’s seen in the past. He was also surprised at how brazen the bear was considering he didn’t see any cubs nearby.

“They’re not usually very aggressive,” Teufel said. “Most bears don’t do much when you see them in the wild but this one came right out to me and was definitely curious because it sniffed me quite a lot – they don’t do that too often.”

This is the second time in recent months that a bear has been spotted in the area. A bear sighting was posted at the Sportsplex disc golf course at the end of July.

According to Parks Canada, if you see a bear you should never run away but stop and remain calm – screams or sudden movements may trigger an attack. Speak calmly and firmly to the bear, make yourself look big and back away slowly. If a bear makes contact, fall to the ground and play dead. If the bear is unaware of your presence, quietly move away without getting its attention.

so different, the small town vibes and friendliness were similar, and welcome.

“Everyone was sitting out on the dock as we floated down inviting me over for a beer – like if I’d stopped for a beer at every dock where they’d invited me over to have a beer, I wouldn’t be standing,” said Mercer.

“They were certainly as friendly as Newfoundland-ers and so that was tremen-dous.”

Destiny River Adventures owner Jim DeHart got to spend the six hours it took for filming in the company of the famous comedian, and said Mercer is even better in person than on the show.

“Funnier. Oh yeah, there

was a lot of stuff going on that you can’t put on T.V.,” said DeHart with a smile.

BIA secretary/event co-ordinator Jan Tees, who had come up with the idea to invite Mercer to Campbell River, said she hopes Mer-cer will come back to try out some other activities, includ-ing taking a chain saw carv-ing lesson. Mercer’s visit has

inspired Tees to invite other celebrities to town.

“My daughter asked me, ‘now who are you going to invite to Campbell River next?’” said Tees.

The Rick Mercer Report returns on Tues. Sept. 13 at 8 p.m. on CBC. Visit www.rick-mercer.com for updates on when the snorkeling adven-ture segment will air.

One of two victims in Monday’s three-car motor vehicle crash on Highway 4 has been identified.

The victim, 34-year

old Rikki Anne Easton of Campbell River, was named as the driver of a Chevrolet Cavalier involved in the colli-sion. She succumbed to her injuries Monday evening.

Sergeant Joe Scho-

field of the RCMP’s Central Vancouver Island Traffic Services confirmed Tuesday that a 37-year-old man who had been driving a GMC pickup truck also died from his injuries Monday evening. His

identity is not being released at the request of his family.

Meanwhile, an eight-year-old girl who was a passenger in the pickup truck remains in stable condition in a Victoria area hospital

and the passenger of the Cavalier was trans-ported to Nanaimo Regional General Hos-pital, along with the passenger of a third vehicle, a Toyota Rav 4. Both sustained non-life threatening injuries.

“The seriousness of this crash has been fully realized by the deaths of two individ-uals,” Schofield said. “We have a team of collision experts work-ing to reconstruct this collision and deter-

mine what caused it, in hopes we can bring some answers to the grieving families.”

Erik Duivenvoorde was driving from Port Alberni to Parksville at the time of the crash. He said he was two vehicles back.

Me and the car before me were able to stop in time,” he said. “I saw the bus slamming on the brakes and steer-ing in the opposite lane to avoid the other cars. I saw a black SUV, the third one that hit. When I got out of the car and was dialling 9-1-1 there was a beige pickup truck in the opposite lane and it looked like they had spun around a couple of times.”

About 30 feet in front of the truck, the wit-ness said, was a man lying on the ground with a severe head injury.

He said, ‘My baby. Is my baby OK?,” Duiven-voorde said. “Two guys jumped into the pickup and pulled a little girl out and put her on the bus.”

Duivenvoorde then went to a car, where he said a woman appeared badly pinned. I saw her move her head and I asked, ‘can you hear us,’” he said. “There was smoke coming from the red car, so I went to the bus to see if they had a fire extin-guisher. Pretty soon after that a response came and we were told to go back up with the cars.”

Vancouver Island North residents are invited to celebrate the life and accomplish-ments of NDP leader Jack Layton this Sat-urday.

The gathering will start at 10:30 a.m. and will be upstairs at the Florence Filberg Cen-

tre in Courtenay. There will be live

television coverage of the state funeral for Layton in Toronto starting at 11 a.m., and a book of condolences for people to sign.

“It will be a won-derful opportunity to express our thoughts in the book of condo-lences,” wrote North Island NDP Constitu-

ency Association pres-ident Don Beggs in an email.

Layton passed away in the early morning of Aug. 22 after a battle with cancer.

“I am proud to say that Jack had time for everyone, including me, and I, like millions of others will miss him personally. None-theless, his spirit and

example will be march-ing on right behind up to inspire our desire for a better life for all in this good land,” wrote Beggs.

Layton wrote a fare-well letter to Canadi-ans shortly before his death.

“My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is bet-ter than despair.

“So let us be loving, hopeful and optimis-tic.

“And we’ll change the world,” wrote Layton.

2X3 LINDA MILLER BIRTH


A candle light vigil to honour the mem-ory of seven-year-old Jonathan Warren will happen this weekend, and a trust fund has been set up to help his mother, Linda Warren.

The candle light vigil will be held at 7 p.m.

this Sat. at the Sports-plex Skate Park. The family of Jonathan will be present, and while Warren family neighbour, Barb Ostler, said Linda is still struggling with grief, she appreciates all the emotional support she has received from the community already.

“She really appreci-

ates all the teddy bears and flowers,” said Ostler. “Emotional support, just anything that’s going to help her.”

Ostler set up a trust fund through Coastal Community Credit Union. Anyone wish-ing to donate funds to help Linda can drop by one of these credit

unions and mention her name.

Ostler fought back tears as she explained how hard this tragedy has been on Linda, not only emotionally, but financially as well.

“I know she’s had a lot of financial costs associated with this tragedy,” said Ostler. “It’s going to be a real

struggle for her.”Jonathan’s father

Brent Allan Warren was charged with first degree murder as a result of the death of his son, and has been in custody since the end of July.

H i s c a s e w a s adjourned until Sept. 12 for an arraignment by video.

Dealing With the Boom Boxes

A very annoying problem we hear on the local roads are the numerous Boom Boxes playing at all hours of day or night. I think our noise by-law should be enforced, as we have enough noise pollution as it is without these ridiculous noise boxes waking us from our sleep. Can you enlighten me on the subject please? I’m not sure that you will be surprised to fi nd that the Motor Vehicle Act and Regulations don’t deal with noise of this type from vehicles. It only prohibits noise from the engine, exhaust system or the braking system, or from the contact of the tires with the roadway. Police have to fall back on either a municipal bylaw or the Criminal Code when the issue gets out of hand. No person shall make or cause any noise or sound on a highway or elsewhere within the corporate limits of the City which disturbs or tends to disturb the quiet, peace, rest, enjoyment, comfort or convenience of the neighbourhood or of persons in the vicinity. This bylaw section from the Penticton allows police to issue a Municipal Ticket Information to violators in that city. When there is no other legislation to utilize, the mischief section of the Criminal Code prohibits actions which obstruct, interrupt or interfere with the lawful use, enjoyment or operation of property. I suspect that the disturbance would have to be signifi cant to convince the Crown to proceed with a charge and the court to convict. A single boom box drive by would likely not qualify. The author is a retired constable with many years of traffi c enforcement experience. To comment or learn more, please visit www.drivesmartbc.ca.

A Campbell River businessman hopes his youth and enthusiasm will win him a seat on city council.

Darryn Striga, 28, is the lastest to announce his bid for city council-lor.

“I always had the intention of entering municipal politics, though the climate of Campbell River has forced my hand early,” Striga said. “I thought it was time to throw my hat in the ring and see what I can do.”

With a Nov. 26 munic-ipal election looming, Striga becomes the third person, behind

Sean Smith and Larry Samson, to announce his candidacy for coun-cillor.

Striga believes his age will give him an edge.

“I think a younger person, with less pre-conceived notions going in, would benefit Campbell River right now,” Striga said.

Striga, a director with Daybreak Rotary, and a resident of Campbell River since the age of three said he sees the upcoming election as an opportunity to fix things.

“People complain to me that city wages are too high but also, I think the lack of open government and trans-

parency with citizens is another big issue for me,” Striga said. “Gov-ernment works for its citizens and I would keep that in mind and listen to and talk to people so everyone has a say.”

Striga, who works as a business co-ordinator for Mount Washington, said he would like to do an audit of City Hall.

“It would be inter-esting to see what a municipal audit would yield,” Striga said. “I would like to see where the money is going, and I think the citizens of Campbell River would like to see as well.”

Striga also sees the importance in strength-ening the business sec-tor.

Although this is his first time wading into municipal politics, it is in his blood. His grand-father was once the mayor of Port Hardy. Still, despite little expe-rience himself, Striga is willing to learn and eager to take a seat at the table.

“I don’t think going in with less experience will be a detriment,” Striga said. “I’m will-ing to question things and look at taking things in a different direction.

“If city council were to stay the same, but with Darryn Striga on council, it would automatically change the dynamic. I think inserting myself into the mix will really mix things up and get things going in a dif-ferent direction.”

The city is taking its concerns surrounding the proposed expan-sion of Quinsam Coal Mine to the B.C. gov-ernment.

Council directed city staff to prepare a letter to the Ministry of Energy and Mines which will focus on water quality impacts from the mine, as well as the mine’s social and economic benefits to the community.

“I think it’s a really important issue for the City of Campbell River,” said Claire Moglove at last week’s council meeting. “I know Quinsam Coal has made some tech-nical changes so it’s incumbent upon us to send this letter.”

T h o s e c h a n g e s revolve around the mine’s storage plans for coarse coal rejects, or waste materials.

In the mine’s original

expansion application it proposed storing the potentially acid generating rejects in two open, flooded pits. Quinsam Coal has since said it will instead develop underground storage sites to reduce some of the technical challenges.

Moglove said she feels the company has put a lot of work into trying to minimize the impacts of an expan-sion that would have miners going into an area called 7-South, which would yield coal with a higher sulfur content.

“It appears to me that Quinsam Coal has done everything in its power to address con-cerns from the public,” Moglove said.

Amber Zirnhelt, the city’s environmental manager, agreed that the mine has put in a lot of effort, and said any technical ques-tions that still remain “will be reviewed by

the Ministry of Energy and Mines staff.”

Water quality in Long Lake has been one of the biggest envi-ronmental concerns since Hillsborough Resources, the parent company of Quinsam Coal, applied for expan-sion nearly two years ago.

Dr. William Cullen and the Canadian Water Network’s 2008/2009 study found arsenic levels in Long Lake sediment samples to be 30 times higher than provincial guidelines.

“The research identi-fies a link between sul-fur and arsenic, and the proposed 7-South mine amendment involves major construction in an area that is prob-ably one of the sources of the high concentra-tions of arsenic and sulfate found in Long Lake,” said Terri Mar-tin, biologist and the city’s environmental co-ordinator.

Coun. Ryan Mennie,

who opposed sending a letter to the province, questioned the need for the city to wade into an area it has no expertise in. Mennie said the open house the com-pany held in Campbell River as well as previ-ous presentations to council from Hillsbor-ough, the Ministry of Energy and Mines and Dr. Cullen, is enough.

“There’s technical issues we don’t under-stand so stepping into a process and address-ing issues that are already being looked at by a technical com-mittee...how far is too far? When do we get to the point of affecting jobs?” Mennie said.

If the expansion is not approved, Hills-borough has said it likely has about 28 months of mining left but an expansion could increase its life span by another four or five years. The mine currently employs 140 workers.

LABRADOR CHOW CHOW MIXLABRADOR CHOW CHOW MIXDoug is a special boy who has had quite a life and needs a home that has experience with dogs and people who will work with him. Doug never got much socializing which resulted in some fearful behaviours. Doug is always happy and has become very social and loving with all the staff and volunteers. He is a nice dog, but lacks the confi dence a dog his age should have. With a bit of patience and consistency Doug will have no problem coming around nicely. Doug walks well on a leash, loves hands on and knows basic commands. He needs to go to a home with no other dogs, as he does get defensive when other dogs engage him. He should not go to a home with cats and cannot go to a home with young children. Older children or teenagers would be better suited to him. The ideal home for Doug would be a single person or a couple who have owned dogs before and have a lot of time to dedicate to him. If you are interested in this sweet boy, please contact one of the staff. Campbell River SPCA » 490 Merecroft Road » 250-286-6131Campbell River SPCA » 490 Merecroft Road » 250-286-6131

Ivory is a very busy girl with a big personality. She needs a home with a consistent routine, obedience training, and a whole lot of running (with her people of course). She is full of energy and needs to be kept active and stimulated. Ivory does know basic commands, she walks well on a leash and really does love people interaction. A family that enjoys outdoor activities or someone who wants a new jogging partner would be ideal for her. Ivory has a lot of potential. Ivory should not be left alone outside unattended as she has been known to be a bit of an escape artist! Ivory will be a great candidate for training classes, and would be best suited to go to a home with older children that have good doggy etiquette. In the right home Ivory will be a wonderful girl!Campbell River SPCA » 490 Merecroft Road » 250-286-6131Campbell River SPCA » 490 Merecroft Road » 250-286-6131

A neighbourhood bridge over Nunns Creek is slated to be replaced with a brand-new, properly engineered structure

next month.The Nunns Creek

Stewards plan to take down the existing old, rickety, wooden plank bridge that crosses the tributary at the bot-tom of Croatian Road likely within the first

two weeks of Septem-ber when there are no fish in the creek.

“It was put up by neighbours and a local bike club,” said Barbara Phipps of the Nunns Creek Stewards. “It’s fine for walking across but a few ATV’s have gone across it and smashed the planks.”

The new bridge, w h i c h i s b e i n g designed by a Depart-ment of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) engineer, will look similar to the new Willow Creek bridge along the Jubilee Con-nector portion of the Greenways Loop but without a bend in the middle.

“The new bridge is mainly to stop erosion in that area,” Phipps

said. “The erosion is caused by people walking, motorcycles, ATVS. When they go through, they make a muddy depression.”

The creek over time then becomes wider and wider and poses challenges for the fish habitat.

“It’s not good for the fish because the creek silts up and covers their eggs,” Phipps said.

Cutthroat trout, small wild coho and chum all swim in Nunns Creek.

The bridge is esti-mated to cost around $10,000 and when com-plete, will be longer than the existing foot-bridge and set higher up the bank.

“The bridge has to be quite high because

in the winter there is quite a flow of water in there,” Phipps said. “The water comes up so high that the approach on either side of the bridge gets flooded out.”

Still that doesn’t deter school kids walking to and from Carihi and Phoenix from using the bridge and the trail that runs from Croatian, crosses the ERT Road and comes out onto 2nd Avenue.

Phipps said the new bridge will ensure stu-dents using the trail won’t unknowingly inflict any riparian damage.

She also plans to work with Carihi and Timberline’s environ-mental teams to plant native species in the

area later in the fall. Phipps said she

would like to plant g rand firs, sitka spruce, salmon berry, sword fern, deer fern, Nootka rose, bargain grape and hemlock.

Support for the bridge has come from the Nunns Creek Stewards, DFO and other local environ-mental groups.

The Croatian Road bridge is just the first of three new bridges the Nunns Creek Stewards plan to erect.

Other bridges are planned for the main stream at the bottom of 2nd Avenue which already has a tempo-rary structure, and one off the ERT Road that connects to the 5th Avenue trails.

Heat stroke is a term commonly used for hyperthermia or elevated body temperature. Generally speaking, if a pet's body temperature exceeds 103°F (39.4°C), it is considered abnormal or hyperthermic. Body temperatures above 106°F (41°F) without previous signs of illness are most commonly associated with exposure to excessive external or environmental heat and are often referred to as heat stroke. The critical temperature where multiple organ failure and impending death occurs is around 107°F to 109°F (41.2°C to 42.7°C). The most common cause of heat stroke or hyperthermia is leaving a dog in a car with inadequate ventilation. The dog's body temperature in this situation can elevate very rapidly, often within minutes. It is important to remember that dogs cannot control their body temperature by sweating as humans do, since they only have a relatively small number of sweat glands located in their footpads. Their primary way of regulating body temperature is by panting.

Other common causes of heat stroke include being left in a yard without access to shade or water on a hot day, being exposed to a hair dryer for an extended period of time, and excessive or vigorous exercise during hot temperatures. Excited or excessively exercised dogs are sometimes at risk even if the environmental temperature and humidity does not appear hot. This is particularly true if they are kept in a poorly ventilated environment or

dog house.Dogs with a restricted airway such as the brachycephalic breeds (fl at faced dogs such as pugs, boxers and bulldogs) are at greater risk. In these breeds, clinical signs of heat stroke can occur when the outside temperature and humidity are only moderately elevated. Dogs that are muzzled for any reason can be at greater risk since their ability to pant is restricted by the muzzle. Hyperthermia is an

immediate medical emergency. Safe, controlled reduction of body temperature is a priority. On the way to the veterinary hospital, use wet towels over the dog and turn on the vehicle’s air conditioning. The prognosis depends on how high the body temperature elevated, how long the hyperthermia persisted and what the physical condition of the pet was prior to the heat stroke. If the body temperature did not

become extremely high, most healthy pets willrecover quickly if they are treated immediately.Some pets may experiencepermanent organ damageor may die at a later date from complications that developed secondarily tothe hyperthermia. Pets that experience hyperthermiaare at greater risk forsubsequent heat strokedue to damage to thethermoregulatory center.

Teachers are threatening job action when classes resume on Tuesday, Sept. 6.

Members of the B.C. Teachers Fed-eration want a new contract with public school employers to include a number of changes in working conditions, and a substantial wage increase. They have an added weapon in their bargaining arsenal — a recent ruling from the B.C. Supreme

Court stated that the provincial government legisla-tion which took away the right of teachers to bargain on class size and composition is unconstitutional, and that teachers do have the rights to do such bargain-

ing. Unfortunately, the real bargaining is starting far too

late in the summer to have any meaningful chance of being wrapped up by Sept. 6. That means that students will be affected by the teachers’ job action, which thus far does not include a strike, but does involve a refusal to perform non-essential services.

The way the union is fighting over every single detail on what constitutes “non-essential services” demon-strates that the two sides are miles apart. The union agreed that taking attendance was essential, but send-ing the results of the attendance-taking to the school office was “non-essential.” That went back to the B.C. Labour Relations Board for a ruling.

The LRB ruled that teachers should pass on the resultof that attendance-taking to the school office.

Such jousting over trivialities demonstrates just howfar apart the two sides are, and how unwilling theyare to engage in discussion of the real issues. Theemployer says that the BCTF should not bring up theissue of class size and composition, despite the B.C.Supreme Court ruling.

Teachers, school employers and the provincial gov-ernment need to start dealing with the nitty grittyissues, which all revolve around the right of studentsto get a good education. Meaningful dialogue needs tobegin immediately.

Get down to bargainingOur ViewOur View

Jack Layton left us with words to live by

We say: Start dealing with the nitty gritty issues in education

Good point: Green cityGreen, renewable, sustainable, eco-friendly – all new

buzz words with lots of available federal and provin-cial funding attached to them so why not make Camp-bell River the example in showing the rest of provincewhat can be done?

Let’s start by giving tax breaks and incentives tobuilders that produce homes with the following greenamenities:

■ All steel roof ( 50-year lifespan, low maintenance,no petroleum product.)

■ All gutters go to a concrete cistern in the ground (water used to water lawn and garden, no need forwater restrictions or meters)

■ One guarburator sink in kitchen (all organic wastego directly to compost tank, this would save tons andtons of waste being taken to the landfill this compostwould be used in the garden, less need for garbagepick-up).

These measures would put Campbell River as thefirst city to show that we are serious about making achange and whatever tax breaks are given to the build-ers for this would be recovered by avaliable grants – sono cost to the city or taxpayer (that’s a new concept?).

Let’s bring back the vitality that this city has enjoyedin the past. We have so much to offer, and now cleanerair. Let’s tell the world about us, and invite them tocome and live here. I don’t know of a better place tolive than Campbell River.

You don’t know what you’ve got ‘til it’s gone...The passing of NDP leader Jack Layton this week is one of those events that leaves us won-dering what could have been. And by all accounts, Layton could have been a very interesting opposition leader.

His passing, however, as sad as it was, may have left Canadian poli-tics with one of its most endear-ing speeches, if not a manifesto. In a final letter to Canadians, Layton reminded us that “love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Opti-mism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.”

If those aren’t words to live by, I don’t know what are. Layton man-aged to restore a sense of civility and grace to Canadian politics, some-

thing it was sorely lacking. Hopefully, Layton’s death can inspire us all to be more loving, hopeful and optimistic.

Bears of Bute...Despite having lived here for 22 years, I had never been past the Breton Islands, east of Quadra Island.

I’m not a boater (hey, I work in the newspaper industry, I’m lucky I can afford a canoe) but I love get-ting out on the water any chance I can and last Saturday I got to travel to Orford Bay in Bute Inlet courtesy of the Homalco Wildlife Tours. It was a great day. The weather was perfect and the scenery was spectacular.

The Homalco Band has a fantas-tic opportunity at Orford Bay cour-tesy of the salmon that return to the Orford River. Those salmon, of course, attract the big brown behe-

moths of the animal world, grizzly bears. Denizens of the so-called Great Bear Rainforest, the Orford grizzlies congregate at the mouth of the river and along the gravel bars of its lower reaches. The Homalco have a perfect opportunity to control human access to this grizzly bear picnic. Control the people, of course, not the bears.

The Orford River valley can only be accessed through the Homalco Band’s tribal lands. There are no roads and boats have to dock at their dock.

Exploiting this opportunity is as simple as bringing people to the river and letting them look around. Of course, through the Bears of Bute program (www.bearsofbute.com), the band is marketing this spectacu-lar wildlife experience and they are continually developing their facili-

ties. Saturday’s event was to open uptheir new orientation centre whichallows visitors to learn the HomalcoFirst Nation’s story, understand whatthey’ve gone through and see wherethey want to go. It’s a simple but welldone presentation.

The mainstay of the facility, ofcourse, is the bear viewing sites.Elevated and covered platforms arestationed at strategic viewing pointsand on Saturday, even though therewere no bears (it’s still too early inthe season) it was nice to get outthere and look at the sites. It’s a beau-tiful place. One of the sites is at along gravel spit at the confluence ofa large creek and the Orford River. Itwas easy to envision bears meander-ing around the gravel bar swattingsalmon up onto the beach.

JEFF NAGEL BLACK PRESS

S a l m o n f a r m e r s have agreed to provide fish samples to federal biologists who are investigating a newly detected virus they suspect is linked to the steep decline of wild sockeye.

The industry had previously refused to cooperate but four major aquaculture companies have now relented, the Cohen Inquiry heard Wednes-day. Dr. Kristi Miller, a genetics researcher with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) in Nanaimo, said she wants to com-pare virus levels in wild sockeye with sam-ples of farmed Atlan-tic salmon at various life stages – including juveniles before being placed in ocean net pens as well as later, when wild sockeye are passing the farms off northern Vancouver

Island.Miller testified she

found wild sockeye salmon with a par-ticular genetic sig-nature are 13.5 times less likely to return to reach their spawn-ing grounds than ones without the signature.

She said a parvovi-rus recently identified appears to be the likely culprit, but agreed with another DFO biologist that more research is needed to prove if it is actually infectious and causing lethal disease.

Miller said the virus “could be the smoking gun” that explains the deaths of millions of sockeye in recent years although another DFO researcher, Dr. Kyle Garver, said it is “pure speculation” to read too much into the find-ings so far.

Miller maintained she believes some pathogen, likely a virus, is har ming salmon before they enter the Fraser River

and contributing to an extremely high pre-spawn death rate.

“Fish were already compromised before they entered the river,” she said, adding that proves river conditions alone cannot explain the sockeye decline.

Tests of far med salmon may not bring back conclusive results on their potential role in time for the inquiry to factor them into its findings.

But under cross-examination by a lawyer for the salmon f ar ming industry, Miller confirmed her data showed the high-est level of the mor-tality marker was in young smolts that had not left the river and had not yet gone any-where near fish farms.

“The main time period of transmission appears to be in fresh water,” she said, add-ing it’s been detected in young fry in their birth lakes.

Miller said that doesn’t mean the virus didn’t first originate with the fish farms nor does it exclude the potential for farmed fish – or perhaps other species in fresh water – to pass the virus back and forth with wild salmon.

She also confirmed the lethal signature has also been found in sockeye from Haida Gwaii, far from the fish farms, as well as sockeye from rivers on the west side of Van-couver Island, which don’t migrate through Johnstone Strait.

Her group has done little research so far on northern stocks that return to the Skeena or Nass rivers.

Miller did stress the lethal markers were not found in Harrison Lake sockeye – which spend less time in fresh water and migrate around the west coast of Vancouver Island, not past the Johnstone

Strait fish farms.“The fish that spend

less time in fresh water tend to be doing better than the fish that spend more,” she said.

The possible spread of disease and the potential role of the aquaculture industry has been the focus of the commission this week.

Miller’s appearance was widely anticipated because of reports she’d been muzzled by federal officials after the publication of her latest paper in the jour-nal Science.

She told the commis-sion she had been told not to publicly discuss her findings ahead of her testimony – out of respect for the inquiry – but said the same instructions applied to other DFO staff.

Miller said she has always had complete freedom to publish her findings.

“I’ve never been told not to share research.”

All future residential homes must be able to accommodate a solar heating system after city council voted last week to change its building bylaw.

Campbell River is one of 36 B.C. commu-nities governed by the provincial Solar Hot Water Ready Regula-tion which applies to new single-family dwellings and those with secondary suites.

“This is a major step forward for the City of Campbell River,” said Peter Woods, chair of the city’s Environmen-tal Advisory Commit-tee. “Every new home in Campbell River will now be solar ready. This saves the hom-

eowner thousands of dollars in retrofit fees and energy costs, mini-mizes the carbon foot-print by using alterna-tives to conventional energy and helps to stimulate local econ-omy for qualified solar technicians.”

Construction of new residential homes must include a roof area designated for future installation of solar collectors, or panels, as well as a space directly adjacent to the build-ing’s hot water tank and the installation of two conduits between the areas.

The new re gula-tions will be applied to homes built on or after Oct. 3.

“This grace period would allow for build-ers to accommodate

changes in upcom-ing projects while not impacting projects that are midstream in design,” said Sara Bro-die, the city’s land use services supervisor, in a report to council.

The cost of add-ing the new building requirements dur-ing construction is between $250-$500, said Brodie. The cost of ret-rofitting an existing home with solar hot water is about $6,900, according to Brodie.

Existing homes are exempt from the new bylaw but Woods said some homeowners may opt to go with solar power because of the huge cost savings for the average home.

“As BC Hydro rates continue to rise, retro-fitting to solar becomes

more financially via-ble,” Woods said.

The city was recently named B.C. Solar Com-munity of the Year for 2010 in recognition of its effort to use solar panels as well as for using solar-powered crosswalks in 12 differ-ent locations.

Adopting the Solar Ready Regulations falls in line with the city’s goal of demonstrat-ing that solar power is a viable renewable energy source, even in colder, rainy climates because the energy is generated from the sun’s light, not its heat, when it hits the solar panel.

“I think it’s time to show we’re leaders, not followers, and we’re leading the way,” Coun. Roy Grant said.

New homes must be solar ready soon

GASBARBECUES


Kathy Radomski smiles as she unearths a healthy-sized zuc-chini from a garden that benefi ts the needy.

“I’m making a stew for Saturday,” says a pleased Radomski. “Everything I’m pick-ing today will go in the stew, nothing’s going to waste.”

After a slow start to the season due to cooler than normal temperatures, Radom-ski is thrilled to see the crop, although behind schedule, that is grow-ing in Coast Realty’s backyard.

The realty group generously donated the land, some labour, and most of the seeds for the 14-bed garden that benefits lunch pro-grams for two groups – Radiant Life Church and the Campbell River Outreach Program.

Radiant Life’s Sunday lunch program feeds around 90 people while the Outreach Program provides around 70-80 meals on Saturdays to the homeless and those at risk.

Radomski says the garden has been won-derful.

“It’s nice because I can make a salad,

and they love salads,” Radomski says. “Plus, it keeps costs down.”

Both g roups are thrilled with the gar-den which has pro-duced lettuce, peas, potatoes, tomatoes, beans, cabbage, herbs, rhubarb and strawber-ries. Next year there will be raspberries and in the fall, pumpkins.

Although the gar-den is doing well now, it took longer than expected for the first crop to appear.

“In July we started collecting,” Radomski says. “It’s gotten too cold at night, it’s just

not a good gardening season. Everything is about four weeks behind by my estima-tion, but I’m not an expert.”

Still, vegetables have been pulled up nearly every day for the past month by either Radomski, Radiant Life Pastor Art Van Holst or church goer and volunteer Gary Holt, who are out tend-ing to the garden sev-eral times a week.

Holt travels all the way from Comox to help in the garden three to four times a week.

“I’ll pluck weeds and do some watering, just to make sure,” Holt says.

“Today, I brought my rake up here and I’m also pulling some spuds out.”

Coast Realty’s Roy Grant, and city coun-cillor, says come winter the garden beds will all have to be dug up and replaced with top soil from the garden’s com-poster.

He also hopes to add some nutrients, such as sea salt, to the dirt that can sit throughout the winter in prepara-tion for next year.

T h e c o l o u r f u l l y painted downtown piano has turned out to be a hot ticket item.

BIA chair Erika Anderson said the downtown piano is even more popular than she would have predicted.

The piano has been moved around to sit in front of different businesses each fair-weather day since it was painted during Art Appreciation Day on Aug. 6. And Ander-son said it was booked up for the month of August within a few days of its debut.

Besides businesses booking it, Anderson said it has been getting lots of play from musi-cians.

“People have been playing it a lot,” said Anderson. “People have been making spe-cial trips downtown for the purpose of playing the piano.”

The main point of the downtown piano was to liven up the downtown area and attract people to the businesses there, and Anderson said it’s working.

“It’s been great pub-licity for downtown, and people wanting to come see it, people looking for it, so it’s been good to bring people downtown,” she explained.

John Parker, a piano player from Black Dia-mond, A.B., was sur-prised when he noticed the piano during his

visit to Campbell River, as he has never seen one anywhere else.

“It’s totally cool,” said Parker. “It was shocking, and then it said ‘play me’ so I didn’t have to go and ask.”

Parker played some boogie-woogie this past Wed. when the piano was located outside Quench Bistro & Juice Bar. He says he will be letting his fellow musicians know there is a downtown piano in Campbell River via Facebook.

“I’m going to tell allmy friends that it’sthere in CampbellRiver,” said Parker.“You’re going to inspireother communities.”

The piano will stillbe in use throughoutSept. before beingstored away for the wetmonths, and Andersonsaid there is still someopportunities for busi-nesses to book it. Andthe piano will be backnext summer, with thepossibility of a secondone because of the pop-ularity of the first.

“There’s so muchappetite for this,” saidAnderson. “This isinteractive as well sothat adds another ele-ment, but I think partof it is people are justso excited about somedifferent piece of pub-lic art.”

Salmon Cycles – a new exhibit which opened at the Camp-bell River Art Gallery this week – features the works of Powell River artist Megan Dulcie Dill and is inspired by the extraordinary life cycle of the Pacific Salmon. The public is invited to meet Dulcie Dill this Saturday at the Gallery’s ‘Super Saturday’ event from 1-3 p.m. where the exhibiting artist will provide a nature-inspired art activity for people of all ages. The drop-in program is free (although dona-tions are accepted) but children under 12 must be accompa-nied by an adult. The Campbell River Art Gallery g ratefully acknowledges Marna Disbrow’s sponsorship of the Super Saturday program.

Dulcie Dill’s mixed media paintings fea-ture salmon moving through their watery

world, navigating paths between water, stones and beams of light. She uses a unique painting technique that involves liquid grounds, canvas rotation and transpar-ent colour washes, which create a lumi-nous quality in her

work. For Dulcie Dill, the salmon is a symbol of rejuvenation and strength. She is also inspired by the Coast Salish First Nation tradition and spiri-tuality and her most recent paintings are titled in translations

of Sliammon words. Dulcie Dill has stud-ied at the University of Toronto’s Fine Art Department, the Victo-ria College of Art, the Nova Scotia College of Art & Design and the University of Victoria. She has had solo exhi-

bitions at the Gibsons Public Art Gallery, the Comox Valley Public Art Gallery, and Hali-fax’s Eye Level Gallery, among many others. Salmon Cycles will be at the Campbell River Art Gallery until Sept. 16.

Visit us online:www.campbellrivermirror.com

We’re being left in the dust, when it comes to good dirt, by our pro-gressive coastal neigh-bours.

A mid-August day trip to Powell River to attend the third annual Edible Garden Contest really opened our eyes to the possibil-ities of food gardening. Whether one’s property is at 750 feet or down at sea level, whether the land is carved out of

a clearing in the deep forest or a perfectly groomed display in a posh residential area, it is possible to produce remarkable amounts of nourishing foodfor the family table.

I have been follow-ing Powell River’s progress online since 2006 when this gutsy little community of 18,000 announced it’s intention to begin a 50-Mile Eat-Local chal-

lenge. My daughter, Kathie Klassen, and I were eager to see what they had achieved since that radical idea of eating local was first launched. Check-ing the map, the only other shopping area inside the boundaries of that circle is the Comox Valley. But at almost $30 roundtrip for a foot passenger on the ferry, shopping for food outside of Powell

River doesn’t make economic sense.

The garden contest cov-ered as far out of town as Lund so we were for-t u n a t e t o have Kevin Wilson, an avid member of the town’s garden com-munity, to act as driver/tour guide. What interested us particularly was the fact that three out of the four properties we toured were literally carved out of clearings surrounded by deep forest. One stop was at Pete Tebbutt’s site. He was one of the share-holders in a six family acreage known as the Craig Road Co-op. The veggies were thriving despite a healthy sup-ply of rocks that were being removed one by one. What really amazed us was that he was growing greens and tomatoes on prop-erty that was sited 750 feet above sea-level.

In a future column I will share more details about specific garden-

ing techniques used by Powell River residents

that will bei n s p i r i n gto readers.Meanwhile,I want to listthe numberof organiza-t i o n s t h a thave renewedt h e m s e l ve s or sprung to life since this amazing com-

munity embraced the “radical” idea of grow-ing and eating local food: The Edible Gar-den Tour, The Com-munity Resource Cen-tre which organizes the Winter Farmer’s Market, A Good Food Box which has set up a bulk produce buying program, Kale Force which meets every sec-ond Wednesday of the month in the Commu-nity Centre to share a potluck and conversa-tion about food and gardening, P.R. Food Security Project, Skoo-kum Food Co-op, the Skookum Gleaners which was formerly known as the Fruit Tree Project and lastly, the P.R. Food Literary Council.

Air Cadet Nick Bowman stands on

parade with his flight during a Commanding Officer’s Parade at the Albert Head Air Cadet Summer Training Centre, near Victoria.

Bowman, 17, spent his summer as an Advanced Training Staff Cadet for the General Training Course, leading junior cadets while they learned about good

citizenship, sports, field survival, drill, range, and familiar-ization flying.

Bowman has been a cadet for five years at 363 “Brian Barker” Squadron in Campbell River, and currently attends Timberline High School. He has self-taught how to play eleven differ-ent instruments and wants to be a commu-nications and infor-mation systems tech.

The cadet program is designed to contrib-ute to the development and preparation of youth for the transi-tion to adulthood, enabling them to meet the challenges of mod-ern society through a dynamic, community-based program. Cana-dian Forces Reserve Cadet Instructors Cadre (CIC) Officers are responsible for cadet training, super-vision and admin-

istration. The vast majority serve the CF on a part-time basis while continuing full-time studies or pursu-ing a civilian career. The CIC celebrated 100 years of service to Canada in 2009.

To find out more about the Royal Cana-dian Air Cadets, the Cadet Instructors Cadre and Albert Head Air Cadet Sum-mer Training Centre, visit www.cadets.ca.

Major Judy Peter of Campbell River, B.C. was presented with a Commanding Officer’s Commendation at Ver-non Army Cadet Sum-mer Training Centre (VACSTC).

It reads:“Maj J. Peter, CD, Is

commended for her role in arranging to have the Portraits of Honour make an unofficial stop at VACSTC. This allowed the cadets and mem-bers of the public to experience the tribute to the fallen Cana-

dian Forces Men and Women that they oth-erwise might not have seen. Her contribu-tions continue to add to the overall experi-ence for cadets at the Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre. Major Peter, the Commanding Officer of 2943 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps in Campbell River was employed during the summer as the Deputy Com-manding Officer at VACSTC. During the summer, more than

1100 army cadets from western Canada have spent to six weeks in the Okanagan Valley centre, expanding the training they receive at their home corps, developing new skills and forming friend-ships. After the final parade and sunset cer-emony, the cadets and officers made their way to their homes in western Canada, fully prepared for another season of training in citizenship, physical fitness and leader-ship.”

Rhubarb fans are putting away the last of this summer’s crop, and whatever didn’t go into muffins, crisps, jams, or syrup, is safely frozen for a mid-winter treat.

A member of the buck-wheat clan, rhubarb is re lated to wi ld dock and sorrel plants. It’s not a fruit, but a veg-etable, with stalks resem-bling celery. The leaves contain oxalic acid and can ruin an otherwise healthy compost heap.

Not everything rhu-

barb is sweet and good.

A similar intro-duced (imported) spe-cies, giant knotweed (Polygonum sachalin-ense), grows on Van-

couver Island and along the West Coast where it has become natu-ralized. Many w i l d f o o d enthusiasts appreciate the young, tender a n d e d i bl e shoots that cook up just

like rhubarb. Long considered

medicinal, Both giant knotweed and Japa-nese knotweed are com-

mercial sources of the powerful antioxidant Resveratrol. Despite its healing benefits, no one admires this perennial weed’s aggressive and noxious behaviour.

Giant knotweed is a

bane to the environ-ment because of its invasive nature. Intro-duced from Asia as a garden ornamental, this huge plant often exceeds three metres in height. The botani-cal name, polygonum, translates as “many joints or knees,” as the plant’s hollow stems feature distinct raised bamboo-like nodes (joints) at regular intervals.

There’s no mistaking the giant, heart-shaped leaves, ranging in size from 15-30 cm, and at least 2/3 as wide. Heart-shaped leaves, however, aren’t enough to make us love this import.

D e n s e t h i c k e t s

exclude other vegeta-tion, while deep, creep-ing rhizomes makeeradication difficult;new shoots can evengrow through asphalt.It can resprout fromfragments and createnew infestations alongstreams wheneverplant parts fall intothe water. This diffi-cult freshwater weeddegrades native plantand animal habitat bychoking it out.

Campbell River’sGreenways Land Trustcontinues to battle thisescaped ornamental,and Nunns Creek Parkknotweed plots arestudied to determinebest practices for erad-ication.

G i a n t k n o t we e dinfests wetlands andwaterfronts (CampbellRiver estuary, WillowPoint waterfront), theCumberland Wetlands,and waterways in theComox Valley.

Despite its remark-able size, bamboo-likepoles and plate-sizedleaves, it is ‘knot’ bam-boo, and we don’t wantit in our wild lands.

Westgate watermain upgrade

Residents living

on Westgate Road between Highway 19A and Galerno Road are reminded that watermain upgrades will begin soon in this area.

The City of Campbell River has distributed information to households along this route outlining details of the project that will begin the first week of September.

The Westgate watermain

upgrade will renew approximately 675 metres of watermain, with the installation of new pipes, valves, fittings and service connections to all properties on Westgate Road from Highway 19A to Galerno Road.

“This watermain was originally installed in 1950s and the number of main breaks and service connection breaks in recent years indicate it is past its serviceable life expectancy,” says Ron Neufeld, the City’s general manager of

operations. “While the work

is limited to the road right of way, local residents should expect single lane road closure on Westgate Road near the active work area, with alternating traffic in the work zone,” Neufeld adds. “The construction contractor, Wacor Holdings, is required to maintain appropriate traffic control throughout the course of construction, and signs will be posted at all intersections to provide vehicle

and pedestrian traffic with clear direction on avoiding the active work zone.”

This project is part of the City’s infrastructure renewal strategy and will cost $806,525. The project is paid for by the City of Campbell River’s water operating accumulated surplus fund.

Work is expected to be completed by early November.

People can keep up to date on the project by visiting at www.campbellriver.ca.

They’re so adorable when they’re having fun.(So are the kids.)

© Tim Hortons, 2011

At Timbits Soccer, everyone gets into the game. Kids

make new friends, and parents have fun cheering them

on. Your local Tim Hortons is proud to support the

over 200 boys and girls who play Timbits soccer in

A22 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR | FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 2011 COMMUNITYC a m p b e l l R ive r

G r a n d m o t h e r s t o Grandmothers will be on hand on Sept. 9, at 9 a.m. at Rotary Park to welcome and cheer on close to 25 grand-mothers as they bicy-cle through our com-munity en route from Campbell River to Vic-toria, and they invite the entire community to join them.

The four previous Cycle Tours have

raised a combined total of close to $150,000. All money raised is donated to the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s G r a n d m o t h e r s t o Grandmothers Cam-paign, which funds grassroots initiatives and community-level programs that support African grandmothers. This year’s Cycle Tour, starting on Sept. 9, will cover approximately 280 kilometres and

pass through Camp-bell River, Courtenay, Qualicum Bay, Parks-ville, Nanaimo, Lady-smith, Cowichan Bay, and Brentwood Bay. It will end in Victoria on National Grandpar-ent’s Day, Sunday Sep-tember 11. A welcom-ing party is scheduled to take place at St. John the Divine Church, 1611 Quadra St. Victo-ria, at 3:00 p.m.

“This will be the

third year that the C.R. Grandmothers to Grandmothers have provided the cyclists with a delicious pot-luck the evening before they begin their ride. Our group donates all the money riders pay for their dinner to the Stephen Lewis foun-dation,” Said Brenda Harrison. “Because Campbell River is the starting point of the ride there is a certain

level of excitement and anticipation. This year, the potluck will be particularly spe-cial because two of our members are join-ing the cyclists on this challenging adven-ture,”

While several of the cyclists participating in this event live in Victoria, others come from communities up and down the island, including Campbell

River’s Katherine Jor-genson and Linda Carl-son.

While some rid-ers have completed the tour a number of times, each year they are joined by new and enthusiastic partici-pants.

“I am excited to be joining the Victoria Grandmothers on the cycle from Campbell River to Victoria,” said Carlson.

Campbell River Grandmothers to Grandmothers invites community to cheer cycling grannies

GRAHAMSylvia Muriel

(nee Casey)

July 1917 - August 2011

Sylvia was the last surviving child of Anthony and Julia Casey of Powell River. She was the middle child and was predeceased by her older brothers Ranie, Albert (Bud) and sister Bernice, her younger sisters Shirley, Lorraine (Tiny) and brother Wilfred (Skip).

The Casey’s were part of the original company town where her father was employed at the pulp and paper mill. Sylvia was a self confessed tomboy and loved being outdoors whenever possible. She was very athletic and took great pride in her physical abilities especially her love of running. She was well known in Powell River for her long runs from the town site up through Cranberry and along the connecting roads back to her home. She had great hopes of running competitively one day but had to forgo this dream. She adored her father and spoke highly of him, reminiscing about times spent digging clams on the beach, boat trips up Powell Lake and his abilities to fi x anything mechanical. At the age of 15 Sylvia moved to Vancouver with her mother and other siblings. She left school and went to work to help support the family as her father has remained in Powell River. In 1936 Sylvia married Richard (Dick) Fielding and together they had a son, Howard, They separated and Sylvia became a single mother. With incredible determination, a good work ethic and the support of a large extended family, Sylvia was able to support herself and Howard during very diffi cult social and fi nancial times through the depressions. Around 1950 Sylvia accepted an invitation to accompany the friend of a friend to a curling banquet. Her date was Joseph Graham. She fell in love with curling and Joe. They became a couple in 1953 and were avid curlers for many years. Joe worked for Taylor paving in Vancouver and in the late 1960’s they moved to Courtenay when the company amalgamated with Cochrane paving to become TayCo Paving. They became active participants in the Comox Valley Curling Club. Sylvia loved a good party and loved to dance. She taught this love of dance to Howard. Sylvia was very creative, having won artistic competitions in school. She continued her creativity with needlework, rug hooking, sewing, gardening and gourmet cooking. She loved dogs from the depth of her heart and supported the SPCA. In 1973 Sylvia and Joe purchased property, built a home and their focus turned to gardening and landscaping and their last dog Kelly. In their later years they did some cruising to the Panama Canal, and Alaska.

Besides her parents and siblings, Sylvia was predeceased by Joe in 2006, She leaves behind Howard and his wife Diane, nieces and nephews and long time friends in Powell River, Vancouver, Victoria, Montreal, and California. We want to extend a huge thank you to all Sylvia’s informal community supporters; the staff at Mane Lines hair salon, BMO bank, Thrifty Foods, Shoppers Drug Mart, Comox Valley Taxi and her long time neighbours. We are grateful for the support of Dr. Edward Howard, Lifeline, Handidart, and VIHA Community Support Services. With all of these people cheering her on Sylvia was able to live in her home until two weeks before her death.

In lieu of fl owers donations may be made to Comox Valley SPCA.

VALDINA ELLEN PERKINS (nee Rafnkelsson), 77, of Mara, passed away quietly at home on Monday July 18th after a short battle with liver cancer. Val was born on the family farm just west of Gimli Manitoba on September 12, 1933. She moved to Winnipeg after Grade 2 with her mother when a late frost decimated the crops. While in Winnipeg Val’s mother was an active member of the Suffrage movement. The belief that women, in fact all people, deserve to be treated equally and with respect profoundly affected Val and became a guiding principle for her life. Several moves later, she found herself grown and living in Campbell River working at the Royal Bank where she met her future husband, the late John Arnold Perkins (The one man who could always make her laugh). After several years and many more moves, they fi nally settled in Salmon Arm to raise a family before fi nally retiring to Mara. Her belief that all people are worthy led her to always be the one helping those in need, be they family, friends or acquaintances. To the point where up until 12 days before her death she was still helping others, putting an average of 53,000 km a year on her vehicles, as well as looking for the next thing to make her and others smile and laugh. Val is survived by her children Tom (Tara), Bob, Sharel (David Siarkiewicz), grandchildren Alysha, Kaitlyn, Chelsea, Justin, Samuel, Alexander, her brother Eric and numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents Jon and Jonna, siblings Oscar, Ola, Margaret, Thelma, Frances, Florence and her husband of 48 years John. At Val’s insistence there will be no service. The family suggests memorial contributions be sent to the Canadian Cancer Society at www.bc.cancer.ca where an online memorial in her name has been set-up.

STEGMAN William “Jack” September 4 1956 – August 19 2011

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our brother, uncle, and a great friend to many. Born in New West-minster, BC and passed away peacefully at Campbell River & District General Hospital at the age of 54. Predeceased by his father Bill 1998, mother Ann 2006, and brother Jim 1996. Jack leaves behind his brother Gary (Joanne & family), sister Wendy (Peter Savin), sister Tracy Mullen (Tj Dafoe), and will be lovingly missed by his pride and joy nephews Austyn & Braedon Mullen. Jack touched the lives of many people with his smile and gen-erosity, he maintained his trademark sense of humour all the way and will be missed by countless friends and family whom were blessed to have known him. In 1976 Jack was severely electrocuted at the Ocean Fall’s Mill and suffered for many years with muscle and nerve damage. He maintained his Small Engines Certifi cate in 1980 and his Motorcycle Mechan-ics Certifi cate in 1981 but because of chronic pain he was un-able to make a working career and had permanent disability.The early years he loved riding motorcycles and was a care-giver to his grandfather and mother for many years. He would always lend a helping hand to anyone in need and will be deeply missed by his friends. New found hobbies of sketching native art, enjoyed friends visiting and always looked forward to Friday afternoons with his nephews which consisted of a buffet of candies and chocolate, sketching groovy art, and shooting targets with their homemade slingshots. By family request there will be no service.“Love is a smile, a tear and a touch, love says little, but means so much, love is forever, and we give it to you, from the family who thought the world of you.”

George Robert BeechAugust 6, 1939 – August 21, 2011

George passed away in the Campbell River and District Hospital on August 21, 2011 after a very short but courageous battle with cancer. He was pre-deceased by his son Kevin. Loving husband to Kay for 50 years. Dear Father of Rob, Cheryl (Kirk Jensen) and Sandra (Mike Maxwell). Proud Grandad of Spencer (Ashley) and Michael Spratt; Megan, Kari and Klair Maxwell; and great-grandad to Koston and Ryder.

The Great Shake-OutBC Earthquake is coming to Campbell River and the Strath-cona Regional District on Thursday, Oct. 20.

At 10 a.m. thousands of British Columbi-ans will do the “drop, cover, and hold on” drill in The Great British Columbia ShakeOut, the largest earthquake drill in BC history.

The first drill had more than 470,000 par-ticipants and raised earthquake and emer-gency preparedness awareness throughout British Columbia.

Oct. 20 will mark British Columbia’s second drill and will

align with California, Idaho, Nevada, Guam and the Yukon for a mass earthquake drill on the same day.

Washington, Oregon and New Zealand have also expressed an interest in participat-ing on this same date.

“The ShakeOut drill is our chance to practice how to pro-tect ourselves, and for everyone to learn how to become better prepared,” says Howie Siemens, emergency program coordinator for the Strathcona Regional District and the City of Campbell River.

Emergency organi-zations throughout

British Columbia are encouraging indi-viduals, families, busi-nesses and other orga-nizations to register at www.shakeoutbc.ca to be counted in the drill, promote the drill within their own com-munities and practice

their personal pre-paredness plans.

To register or find out more, head to the BC ShakeOut web site at: www.shakeoutbc.ca or www.strathcon-ard.ca under Protec-tive Services or call 250-830-6700.

How much more effort does it take to turn right into the land ll rather than left into the John Hart Lake water-shed? So you think you are saving money by using nature instead of the land ll? If the illegal roads and dumping continues, the quality of drinking water will be compromised and we will all need to pay for a better treatment system. It is a natural tendency to conserve energy, effort and money - but it is short-sighted to think that dumping in nature does not have a long-term cost.Any information on the previous owners please call 250-203-2316.

Explore Christianity

Alpha is a non-denominational opportunity for anyone to explore Christianity. Why would anyone want to do that? Well, perhaps at some point you have wondered: What is Christianity anyway? Who is Jesus? How does his life and death have any meaning?.Is Christianity the truth or simply boring, untrue and irrelevant?”

Alpha is being offered in Black Creek as home group meetings. Call 250-337-5660 or 250-337-8788.

F o u r C a m p b e l l River athletes helped Team B.C. win a tenth straight Western Can-ada Summer Games trophy Aug. 5-14.

Wrestlers Ashley Osachuk and Mike Her-

man, swimmer Taylor Padington and track and field star Stepha-nie Trenholm all took home several medals.

Osachuk, compet-ing in the 60 kg divi-sion, won bronze in the

Team Competition and gold in the individual match, defeating the bronze medal winner at Canadian Nationals, Victoria Kent from Sas-katchewan, in a hard fought Gold Medal

match two rounds to one. Herman, in the 46 kg division, won gold in the team competition and gold in the Individ-ual Division. He won all his matches by pins and did not have a point

scored against him in any of his matches.

Padington won six medals, three indi-vidual and three team. Two gold medals and one silver came from Team B.C.’s women’s

relay teams. The gold medals came in the 4x100 metre free and a second silver in the 4x100m free. She also captured two individ-ual silvers, one in the 200m free and the other

in the 400m free. She claimed a bronze in the 100m free.

Trenholm, a runner with UVic, captured a gold in the 1500m and the bronze in the 800m.

CopsforcancerStanding out for a cause

ON TOUR: This year’s Tour de Rock begins in Port Alice on Saturday, Sept. 24 and ends Friday, Oct. 7 in Victoria. Tour de Rock raises funds and awareness for pediatric cancer research and programs.

HELP OUT: Donations to Tour de Rock can be made at www.copsforcancer.ca.

FIND OUT: To catch up on all the Tour de Rock news, including rider profiles, please go online to: www.tourderock.ca

Auren RuvinskyBlack Press

When the Oceanside RCMP detachment’s Tour de Rock riders are out in full gear, they attract a lot of attention with people waving, honking and stopping them on the side of the road to chat.

Const. Rochelle Carr and auxiliary officer Bill Peppy from the Parksville-based detachment take the interruptions in good spirit, aware the point is to get as much attention as possible as they train hard for their 1,000-kilometre cycle down Vancouver Island in September.

“I love to work with kids,” said Carr, who has been in Parksville about one year, coming from three years at her first post in Tofino.

She said that while Parksville isn’t exactly the Lower Mainland, it feels like a large, populated area compared to her time covering four blocks in Tofino.

Growing up in the busy Fraser Valley she imagined Island communities would be too small for her, but she said she has come to enjoy the small-town atmosphere and loves how smaller communities come together

for events like the Tour.Peppy, on the other hand, is used to

smaller communities, having been in Parksville since 1999 and coming from the Cowichan Valley.

He has volunteered with the RCMP since 2006, the year he and his wife Debbie took over organizing the Cops for Cancer golf tournament. They have been heavily involved in the Tour for years and last year even helped out with some of the cooking.

“My wife has been the biggest supporter of the Tour. She’d be riding if she could,” he said, pointing out she’ll get to do more of the tournament organizing this year.

“It’s about going to the next level of giving back,” he stressed.

Peppy, bakery operations manager for Country Grocer in Nanaimo, has two children, Kurtis, 20, and Lindsey, 16. In his spare time is also head instructor of the

Oceanside Martial Arts School in Parksville.The team is out training on local roads

and appearing at numerous public events in the next couple months under the guidance of previous Parksville riders Pam Bolton and Dave Kokesch as they gear up

for the trip. Carr, Peppy and the rest of the 22-member team of law enforcement, media and military personnel will ride as much as 150 km a day, on top of scheduled public events in communities from Port Hardy to Victoria.

Oceanside RCMP officers garnering plenty of attention in lead-up to Tour de Rock ride

Special feature

Black Press newspapers on Vancouver Island will publish this special feature page spotlighting police officers taking part in this year’s Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock.

Black Press photo

Const. Rochelle Carr and auxiliary officer Bill Peppy from Oceanside RCMP in Parksville will ride up to 150 kilometres per day, starting on Sept. 24, as they complete a 1,000-km bike journey across the Island to raise money for pediatric cancer research.
