The Maritime Heritage Society wants to merge Campbell River Tourism services, including the Visitor Centre, with the Maritime Heritage Centre.

Marv Everett, president of the Campbell River Maritime Heri-tage Society, says moving the

Visitor Centre into the Maritime Heritage Centre will provide for a more central, and accessible, point for tourists.

“It is the opinion of the MHS Board that this proposal is a win/win for all involved, and would create a tourist focal point that will enhance tourism for the ben-efit of the merchants and service providers of the Campbell River

area,” says Everett in a letter to Mayor Charlie Cornfield.

But Rivercorp, the city’s eco-nomic development body, says the Maritime Heritage Centre is not an appropriate location for the Visitor Centre.

“Among the board’s concerns were potential difficulties for large vehicles, like RVs, to enter and exit the Maritime Heritage

Centre’s parking lot and the dis-tance of the Maritime Heritage Centre from the centre of town,” says Ben Chalmers, Rivercorp chair, in a letter to council.

Everett disagrees and believes the society has found the perfect location.

“The Maritime Heritage Centre and public pier are located on the shores of Discovery Passage,”

Everett says. “The area is there-fore ideal for introducing tourists to the extensive maritime and scenic attributes of the Campbell River area. Within this setting, a comprehensive tourism facility will allow tourists to learn about the many beautiful and fascinat-ing attractions within the Camp-bell River area and encourage

RENÉE ANDORCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

We are what we… drink?

The city of Camp-bell River is focusing on public education about the importance of watershed protec-tion for the month of August, with two days of activities to get the public involved.

Luisa Richardson, an environmental edu-cator working for the city, is busy informing the public by writing pieces in both local newspapers, advertis-ing, doing interviews on both radio stations, and taking people on tours of the water-shed. So far, she said her efforts have been working.

“It’s good. It’s open-ing up conversation,” explained Richardson. “Once we can start talk-ing about [the issues], we can start talking about solutions.”

The first public event is the second annual, Waterfest: good clean fun at McIvor Lake, taking place from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. on Sat., Aug. 20. Free buses will be shuttling between the Campbell River Com-munity Centre and the lake.

F r e e a c t i v i t i e s include: River Spirit Dragon Boat rides, kayak demos, zumba lessons, snorkeling for treasure, a Bounce-A-Rama, games for youth by Active Campbell River, and a learn to dive demo which must be pre-registered for. A

BC Hydro information booth and a watershed protection booth will also be set up.

“It’s about attract-ing people to come out to this event, and cel-ebrating our very high quality drinking water, while still having fun in ways that don’t pol-lute or compromise the quality of the water,” explained Richardson.

Although the city’s water quality is very good right now, illegal dumping of house-hold garbage and yard waste is a continu-ing problem, which Richardson said she worries will grow as the population does if things don’t change.

When garbage is dumped near the watershed, chemicals leech into the water supply. Dumping yard waste in the forest is also detrimental, as it leeches nitrogen into the water supply, as well as bringing inva-sive species of plants

into the area. “We’re very con-

cer ned about the degree of dumping,” said Richardson.

Also, driving vehicles in the area generates dust, and if too much dust gets into the water supply, solid particle build-up could force the city to change its filtration system to a more expensive model, according to Richard-son. Richardson’s main point is that illegal dumping of anything in the watershed area needs to stop.

“We plan to use edu-cation and action to limit and eliminate those activities in the future.”

For the first time ever, the public is invited to join the city’s efforts on Watershed Clean-up-day. Crews will clean up illegally dumped garbage from the John Hart water-shed and McIvor Lake from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. on Sat., Aug. 27.

Garbage bags, gloves, shovels, and rakes will be provided, as well as lunch. People inter-ested in helping with the effort can call the City of Campbell River water hotline at 250-203-2316 for details and to register.

“It will be very excit-ing,” said Richardson. “There’s a lot of people who care, a lot of peo-ple who are shocked when they see garbage thrown out in nature, and so we think that many people will be happy to do something about it.”

After Watershed Clean-up-day the city will move in with machinery to clean up garbage that is too heavy to move by hand. The area will be moni-tored for illegal dump-ers, and violators will be fined.

“Our water is in very good shape,” said Rich-ardson. “We just want to make sure we keep it that way.”

them to spend more time here.”Everett insists Campbell River

needs a central focal point for tourists and that the current Visi-tor Centre, on Shopper’s Row, is “poorly located in a mall in the centre of town rather than at the entrance to town where it is highly visible to tourists entering the city.”

He accepts the current condi-tions around the Maritime Heri-tage Centre do present some chal-lenges, such as a lack of public washrooms and an undeveloped parking area.

The Sunday Farmer’s Market also takes up a lot of space.

“Due to the space taken by ven-dors, parking is very limited and entrance is difficult and at times dangerous for vehicles and pedes-trians,” says Everett, who along with the rest of the society, pro-poses reviewing the market to look for a potentially less disruptive environment, such as Tyee Plaza,

that would provide more space for vendors.

The society also proposes re-engineering the entrance and exit to the parking lot for safer pas-sage; expanding the main floor entrance area of the Maritime Heritage Centre; providing central public washrooms in the parking lot area; cleaning up the residual sewage processing facilities on site and providing illuminated signage.

“A co-operative environment and improved tourist facilities is a win/win for the city, local busi-nesses, and the Maritime Heritage Centre, its tenants and clients,” Everett says. “Completion of the park area will clean up a trashy area of an otherwise beautiful setting, provide additional out-door facilities for residents and provide a convenient and beauti-ful rest area for travellers.”

The proposal is slated for con-sideration and discussion by city council at its next meeting, Aug. 16.

Quadra Island is get-ting a larger library in a new location, but not everyone is happy about it.

The Quadra Island branch of the Vancou-ver Island Regional Library (VIRL) has been in Heriot Bay since 1990 in a 1,024 square foot building.

But, plans are now under way to move the library to the Cove Centre at Quathiaski Cove. The new loca-tion will be triple the

size of the old, at 3,200 square feet.

“There’s been a lot of pressure to do improve-ments,” said Ronna-Rae Leonard, chair on the Board of Trustees for VIRL. “We needed it larger and we needed it soon too.”

Library services will be expanded to offer a larger collec-tion of books, more public computers with internet access, and to provide more pub-lic spaces with lounge seating and areas for children’s programs.

“We were way behind in terms of providing the service that twenty first century people want and need,” said Leonard.

However, some resi-dents on Quadra are unhappy with the

decision-making pro-cess VIRL used when it chose to make the changes.

“We are not happy with the process,” said Rod Burns from Friends of Quadra Island Library, a group of residents concerned about the library.

“150 people said put my name down as a concerned citizen about the process.”

Bur ns said VIRL should have sought more public input before it made the decision to move the library.

Executive director on the VIRL board, Rose-mary Bonanno, said the board followed its rules when they chose to move the library to its new location.

“We followed the

board procedure and policy to relocate the library on Quadra Island,” said Bonanno.

While Burns agrees the existing library was in need of upgrades, he said some residents would like it to stay in Heriot Bay.

Burns said he would rather the new library be smaller in return for longer hours of operation.

And that the com-munity should have been asked its opinion on the best use of the money spent on the library upgrades, call-

ing the decision “top-down.”

“They keep telling us. They haven’t come and asked us,” he said.

North Island MLA, Claire Trevena, met with VIRL representa-tives on July 14 to dis-cuss the issue.

“I’ve voiced some concerns about how the decision was made with a lack of com-munity input,” said Trevena.

However, plans are in motion for the new library, which is slated to be operational by early 2012.

Paying it forward

Stacy Marsh of the Campbell River Hospital Foundation and Ian Rob-erts of Marine Harvest join River Spirit dragon boat team members at a recent practice. Dur-ing the Race the River Regatta, marine Harvest donated the proceeds of their salmon barbe-cue to the two organiz-ing teams. River Spirit, in turn, donated their portion – $445 – to the Campbell River Hospital Foundation.

Our WaterAre you following the watering restrictions

while using a sprinkler system to water your lawn?

You may be surprised to learn that you may still be “over-watering” – which strains the water delivery system when demand exceeds capacity during hot or sunny weather.

Check your watering habits against these indicators for “over-watering”. If you were using a sprinkler on an established lawn in the weeks of July 5 to 28 – you were “over-watering.” Un-watered lawns that were cut to no less than three inches and were limed and aerated this spring were still green and healthy as of July 28, thanks to a particularly wet season. If you are following the restrictions and using a sprinkler every second day, you are “over-watering” and encouraging a shallow root system. Just because the sprinkling restrictions allow watering every other day doesn’t mean your lawn needs to be watered that frequently. If you are watering an established lawn, but you did not lime or aerate this spring, you are “over-watering.”If you haven’t raised your lawn mower to cut at three inches or higher, and are using a sprinkler to water, you are “over-watering.” If your sprinklers are set to run during permitted times, but water is landing on hard surfaces, you are “over-watering.” If your lawn is on a hill and you are not using a cycle-and-soak regime (water for a short period, e.g. 10 minutes, stop and allow to soak in, then water another 10 minutes), you are over-watering. If you have followed some or all of our recommendations for water-wise use this summer, thank you for helping to reduce peak water demand!

HEROES – Many thanks for a renovation job extremely well done by Matt Ellis and his Rimfire Construction crew. Matt was never too busy to answer our many questions, despite having to put up with a very “high maintenance customer,” and always came through with ideas, opinions and suggestions that exceeded our expectations. The work was completed as scheduled and the service provided was above and beyond what we expected from a general contractor. Campbell River and surrounding communities are, in our opinion, very fortunate to have Matt and the Rimfire crew available to work for you. Herb and Rene Chambers, Squamish, B.C.

HEROES – I would like to a send a huge thank you too a number of heroes. Jim, Bob, Lorie, and two awesome ladies who helped me and my boys after I fell off my bike on Hilchey road. The ladies, whose names I forget, were so good with me and my boys. Thank you very much. Jim, who came shortly after with his 3rd level first-aid was great also. Thank you again. I will never forget you all. My boys are awesome boys, and I am very lucky to have such great boys. Thank you for site-seeing. I was not wearing a helmet, which is not smart, and I am very lucky to have only 3 stitches in my head and a scrape on my elbow. Please reply to this ladies, so that I

know that you know how important you are to me...Thank you again! – Super mom... Not!

The Arts Council appreciates the participation of the students and staff of Cedar, Discovery Passage, Ecole des Deux Mondes, Ecole Willow Point, Ripple Rock, and Sandowne, who are creating banners to represent the animals and activities of Strathcona Park. The 100th Anniversary of Strathcona Park is the theme for the 2011 Banner Project. – The Campbell River Arts Council

HEROES – I’d like to thank the great young musicians and the students of the Tara School of Irish Dancing for performing at the Fine Arts Benefit Concert for Japan, on May 7th at the Campbell River Baptist Church. Your performances were the first class. I am sure the people of Japan will enjoy your performance as much as we did, as we will send this DVD to Japan. Thank you to the Honourable Charlie Cornfield, Mayor of Campbell River for your address to our audience. It was a moving speech. Thank you to the audience for coming to our concert and donating money to the Canadian Red Cross. We are a small group of Japanese and Nikkei people living in Campbell River, the Comox Valley, and surrounding areas. Without the great support of the

Campbell River Baptist Church, we could not have had a concert at all. To Pastor Randy Evans, thank you for your kind generosity. Thank you to Chris Coon for guiding and helping us to organize the concert, to Chris Coon and Aaron Clausen for the sound system, to Jon Kornelsenj and June Spelay for designing and printing the posters, and to Gibson Bellosillo for taking the video of the performance for Japan. Thank you to Tim Horton for donating Timbits for our performers. We appreciate the Campbell River Mirror and the Campbell River Courier-Islander for running an article about this event. Finally, last but not least, I’d like to thank Miyuki for pursuing the dream of having a benefit concert for Japanese earthquake and tsunami victims. A thank you also goes to Yuka for making the great video about

the Japan earthquake and tsunami which was shown at the concert. Over $1400 was raised for the Canadian Red Cross Japan Earthquake and Asia Pacific Tsunami Response. Thank you for your generosity! – Mitzi & Miyuki, Japanese and Nikkei Community of Campbell River, Comox Valley, and Area

ZEROES – I have walked in Dick Murphy Park since it opened and have loved it; the people I have met, their pets and kids, and just the general atmosphere. I got a dog myself a year ago and have had a wonderful time bringing her there to meet and play with other dogs and their owners. Unfortunately now, I find I do not want to go there anymore because of the amount of dog feces left on the grass and paths, despite their being poop bags provided. Come on Campbell River we are better than this.

EDITOR: Alistair [email protected]

The deadline to mail in your HST ballot quickly approaches. Aug. 5 is the last day Elections BC will

receive envelopes which means if you want to take part in this important decision, today is the day to mark your X. There is only word to truly describe the HST mess: unfortunate.

It’s unfortunate the Liberals so badly bungled rolling it out. It’s unfortunate

the NDP has spearheaded a tax revolt without real alter-natives. It’s unfortunate the political landscape of this province has been dominated by this discussion while much more pressing issues get neglected. Despite the

political upheaval over this little acronym, it would be even more unfortunate if the province is forced back to the old tax system with a yes vote. The Liberals are guilty of misleading voters on the HST. The manner in which the Liberals got us to this point will not be forgotten come general election time. If that’s the time voters decide to make a change, so be it. Just as alarm-ing as the Liberals’ path to this referendum is the NDP strategy. The electoral gamesmanship on display over the last year has been all-time. The party has taken every opportunity to trace back almost all issues to the low-hanging fruit of tax revolt, all the while provid-ing very little in the way of solutions. Firing up the

masses over increased taxation is easy, sound policy is hard. The best weather vane of this referendum may be the Green Party of BC – a party looking to be more pragmatic than political. Last month at their AGM, a distinct majority, including party leader Jane Sterk and prominent local Greens, voted in favour of keep-ing the HST. One main reason is that the HST is a true consumption tax. Those who make more money will spend more money and in turn pay more tax. If that yellow envelope still sits unopened, now is your chance to weigh in. Yes or no, you can take comfort knowing you had your say.

Green Party gets lost in the wireless meter static

Good point:

We say: Enough blame to stick on both leading parties

Tom FletcherB.C. Views

PUBLISHER: Zena [email protected]

Farming

The election of Elizabeth May as Canada’s first-ever Green Party MP was supposed to be a breakthrough for environmental issues.

Finally embraced by voters in the organic farming region of Saanich-Gulf Islands, May was given a man-date to change the political conversa-tion about sustainable development, climate change and pollution. The breakthrough might even translate to the provincial level, where Jane Sterk is the latest of a line of B.C. Green leaders to toil in obscurity.

It’s too bad they both threw away their scientific credibility last week, by chiming in with the tiny tinfoil-hat movement and its trumped-up opposition to BC Hydro’s transition

to wireless meters.May got the tinfoil ball rolling by

decrying the use of wireless inter-net. It might be contributing to bee colony collapse, she mused on Twit-ter, to much ridicule. Apparently she believes that using a computer con-nected by a wire keeps her free from the radio waves that surround us all. They are generated not only by com-puters, cell phones and smart meters but all sources of light, including the infrared light that accompanies body heat.

May then cited the much-hyped rev-elation that the World Health Orga-nization has listed radio-frequency waves as a possible carcinogen. Radio waves such as those generated

by cell phones and wireless routers were moved to a classification called 2B, which also includes such volatile substances as pickled vegetables.

What this actually means is that health effects can’t be ruled out. It’s impossible to prove that something’s impossible. But after many years of study, the evidence that cell phones and such devices cause illness remains at precisely zero.

With May alongside, Sterk called a news conference last week to demand a halt to BC Hydro’s smart meter program. The first question from a reporter was, why are you reversing the BC Greens’ 2009 election plat-form, which called for installation of smart meters by 2012, followed by

imposition of time-of-use electricity pricing to reduce consumption?

Sterk expressed surprise, appar-ently having forgotten her own posi-tion from only two years ago. Politi-cal credibility takes years to build but only seconds to destroy.

I attended the B.C. Green Party’s 2007 leadership convention at which Sterk was elected. It came after a long and divisive debate over whether cell phones could be used at the meeting. They were finally allowed, but this “issue” apparently took up more time than any policy discussion.

Why is BC Hydro putting in smart meters? First, mechanical meters are obsolete and soon won’t be available. Second, B.C. is about twice as big as

Yikes! After reading “Councillor is down on the farm,” I had a strong desire to banish Coun. Ziggy Stewart to the weed pile, never to be heard from again.

He claims that farming is not a sustainable industry or lifestyle, and that taxpayers’ money would be wasted in supporting any such venture. Oh really?

Then perhaps he could enlighten me as to why our city has its own sustainability department whose main mandate is to reduce our carbon footprint? And if you aren’t aware, our biggest carbon footprint is importing food, which, as Morgan Ostler stated, accounts for 99 per cent of what you and I buy in the grocery stores.

Coun. Stewart’s attitude toward farming does noth-ing to encourage those who may be considering it as a job or business venture, but as someone who has worked on local farms for the past eight years while going to university, I offer a very different perspective. Farming, if done efficiently with hard workers (yes, they do exist), can be a viable business that – hold on to your seat Coun. Stewart – makes money! Land does not have to be bought, but rather could be leased from the city, forest companies, or private landowners, thus enabling future farmers to begin without having a huge mortgage.

Furthermore, there are many possibilities to enhance one’s income on a mixed farm: tours, summer youth employment, allotments, school programs, work for food, berry picking, secondary processing, green-houses, senior citizen involvement, farm stands, box programs, and the list goes on.

Germany. Finding, let alone fixing damaged power lines is a monu-mental task. A smart grid (much more than just digital meters) is not only self-assessing, it can be made self-healing, rerouting power to blacked-out

areas when weather, transformer failure or vehicle accidents cut power.

Do smart meters continuously commu-nicate with a “mother ship,” as some claim? Do they record when you get up at night to pee? No and no. These

are the kinds of non-sense claims that sur-round the smart meter issue.

BC Hydro says four to six transmissions from a smart meter to a local hub each day amount to about a minute in total. Radio wave expo-sure is equivalent to a

half-hour cell phone call every 20 years.

The British National Cancer Institute just published an exten-sive study of children with brain tumours and exposure to cell phones. Like previous studies, it found no correlation.

Somebody should send a postcard to the Green Party and tell them about it.

I strongly urge Coun. Stewart to take a simple poll of teachers, chefs, produce managers, and other citizens of Campbell River, and ask them how they would feel about having access to local farm products and programs, and if they would mind some of their tax money spent on such ven-tures.

My guess is the response would be resoundingly supportive.

My hope is we can step outside the box of ‘eco-nomic value’ and see the many other values to be had from investing in agriculture - the least of those being that we lessen our impact on the environment and provide future generations and ourselves with sustainable food security.

This is a fantastic opportunity for Campbell River, one that could put us in the forefront of environmental innovation, rather than being remembered as the city “that did not grow.”

Dear Morgan Ostler,I very much applaud your efforts

on behalf of the Agriculture Plan Steering Committee.

Your comments on the fact that the communities on Vancouver Island are so disproportionately reliant on ‘just on time’ deliveries of food basics hits a chord that is very dear to my heart.

We are perilously dependent on agricultural resources from hun-dreds (sometimes thousands) of miles away. This does not make us notably different from all other communities in this age we live in but the difference is, as you advo-cated, we do not have to remain

this dependent! I believe, as you appear to also,

that Campbell River residents have been virtually brain-washed over the decades into believing that our particular area is practically devoid of the kinds of soil condi-tions that could greatly reduce this dependency. We have become so complacent in our reliance on supermarkets as our main source of food supply that the major-ity have lost complete touch with some of the realities that I fear will soon face all of us.

For instance, my sister in Cal-gary told me the other week that she watched a news program that was discussing the effects of the

flooding in our ‘bread basket’ provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba. According to this newscast, upwards of two million acres have not been planted in Manitoba and 6-8 million acres have not been planted in Sas-katchewan due to the weather this year. To try to put this into some perspective, if we take the combined minimum of eight mil-lion acres, this equates to 12,500 square miles of unplanted, produc-tive farmland. Or, to visualize it another way, the total area of Vancouver Island is 12,407 square miles.

I believe that we need to establish some move-ment to propel people back to the basics of sustainable food sup-ply with the kinds of vegetables that you and I grew up with. Potatoes, turnips, car-rots, onions, beans and such. I can remember as a child growing up in Saskatchewan, the absolute delight when lettuce became available again in late spring.

One area that I believe is overlooked in the quest for arable land (but which is gain-ing popularity in many places now) resides well within reach of each and every one of us and comes at no

cost whatsoever to city council or the taxpay-ers. It consists of acres and acres of useable soil right within eye-sight. I’m speaking, of course, of those virtually useless, well-watered and fertilized front lawns. Almost everyone has one and almost no one actually uses them for anything except to try to main-tain a societal decorum of ‘neat and tidy’ with a few flower beds and bushes thrown in to look nice. Last year we rototilled a portion of our front yard and grew potatoes. This year, we added another plot to our front yard for more potatoes, beans, peas and corn (which isn’t doing very bloody well considering the weather we’ve had). We have two greenhouses in the back chock full of tomato plants and a few other veggies.

Can you imagine the quantity of food that could be produced in one city block if every-one planted their front yards? To take it one step further, rather than having every-one plant a little of this and that, what if we could encourage people to be selective? It takes less time and energy to manage one type of crop than a variety. For example, if one city block con-sisted of 10 houses on

each side for a total of 20 potential front yard gardens, what if 10 yards were set aside for potatoes, three yards for tomatoes, two yards for carrots and one yard each for turnips, peas, onions, beans, beets – can you imagine the food that could be produced and shared between these families? It would be virtually impossible, of course, to bring whole city blocks on board with this idea but perhaps it could be started by simply gath-ering people together of like-mind in this area and starting the ball rolling. With some education and will-ingness to discuss the project with others, I would like to hope that the idea would then start to take on a life of it’s own.

Could not Campbell River set itself apart from the crowd and become known as a city of people who are determined to become more food sufficient and more compassion-ate towards each other? Penny Repstock

The packed Campbell River Art Gallery was abuzz with excitement July 23 for the Second Annual Wearable Art Fashion Show.

“It was fabulous, hugely enjoyed by all concerned,” said Jea-nette Taylor, Art Gal-lery director.

For those who missed the event, a video cre-ated by local film maker Glen Beitel of Bytel Digital Film and Video and an exhibi-tion of many of the pieces from the show will be on exhibition at the Gallery from Aug.10-17.

There were 13 amaz-ing works of art cre-ated for the human body in the Wearable Art Show, which was sponsored by Wal-can Seafood. Artists

and performers from Campbell River, the Comox Valley, Cor-tes Island, Vancouver and Victoria took part and the sold-out audi-ence enthusiastically greeted each piece as it was performed.

The Best in Show award went to Van-couver artist Fariba Mirzaie for her piece Green Tree, as per-formed by Shyama Priya.

The Comox Valley’s Tara Hope won two prizes – Best Use of Recycled Materials and Audience Choice for her piece called MilkMade, constructed mainly from recycled plastic milk jugs.

The award for Best Performance went to If All The World’s A Stage, I Want Better

Lighting, created by Heather Gordon Mur-phy and John Bailey, and performed by Jenn Flinn, all from Camp-bell River.

The accompanying Silent Auction, which featured a wide array of luxurious items donated by local arti-sans and businesses, was also a huge suc-cess.

Royal LePage Camp-bell River printed the program.

The Art Gallery is looking forward to dis-playing Wearable Art from Aug. 10 to 17 for the public to enjoy.

The Gallery is open Monday to Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Attendance is by dona-tion. See www.crart-gallery for more infor-mation.

THE RIGHT TIMETHE RIGHT TIME IS RIGHT NOW! IS RIGHT NOW!

Doug McGillis, long-time Community Min-istries Director for the Campbell River Salva-tion Army is retir-ing at the end of July and ‘handing over the reins.’

Community Minis-tries Director Kevin Mack, who previously worked for The Salva-tion Army in Kelowna, B.C, takes over from McGillis.

“I’d like to thank the community of Camp-bell River for their support and generos-ity over the past eight years,” said McGillis.

“While we’ve experi-enced many changes and challenges over the years we have built a wonderful team of competent and capable individuals who will work with Kevin to carry on the work of the Salvation Army in our community.”

Mack says he is happy to be in Camp-bell River and antici-pating his new role.

“I’m really excited about being in this beautiful community and looking forward to the challenges of

the job,” said Kevin Mack.

“ D o u g i s w e l l respected in this com-munity I know I have big shoes to fill.”

T he Community Ministries Direc-tor gives direction to the Salvation Army social services efforts in Campbell River and outlying areas which are:

■ Two Thrift Stores: The Family Thrift Store on Homewood Road and The New Beginnings Thrift Store, a Boutique Style Store above and behind the Willows Market in Willow Point.

Funds raised from sales at these stores support our local com-munity ministries.

■ The Lighthouse Centre: Serves approx-imately 20,000 hot meals a year Monday through Friday, offers showers, personal hygiene supplies, laundry, and referrals to treatment for drug and alcohol abuse on a daily basis.

The Centre also pro-vides 15 low barrier extreme weather shel-ter mats in partner-ship with BC housing during the coldest and wettest months of the year.

■ Sandwich Van- Serves over 12,000 meals per year to street-involved indi-viduals in Campbell River handing out blankets, personal hygiene supplies and clothing and offering hope and hugs.

■ Family Services Emergency Assis-tance- Last year alone we assisted over 400 h o u s e h o l d s w i t h vouchers for cloth-ing, linens, household supplies through our thrift stores and other emergency assistance on a case-by-cases basis such as emer-gency food hampers.

■ Emergency Shel-ter- providing up to 22 warm beds per night, showers, laundry facilities, clothing and approximately 5,000 home cooked meals per year for individu-als and families at our Evergreen House facility in partnership with B.C. Housing.

■ Crisis Stabiliza-tion Services- 4 beds available for women in crisis in partnership with Vancouver Island Health Authority and

Campbell River Hos-pital Crisis Nurses.

■ Emergency Disas-ter Services- The local Salvation Army provides emotional/spiritual support and Meet and Greet ser-vices in the event of a disaster.

Saratoga Speedway hosted a double header of great demolition racing, and high flying monster truck action last weekend.

California Kid, Rock-star, Airborne Ranger and Double Trouble all put on two great nights of monster truck action sponsored by Enex fuels, Mad Man Mackay, and 97.3 the Eagle.

Eighteen Crash to Pass cars also took to the track. Gregg Sag-moen picked up the win in the dash on Sat-urday. Brandon Young took home the win in the B dash on Sunday, with the A going to Sagmoen. Bryce Muyr took a late lead to pick up the win in the B heat on Saturday, with the A going to Jeff May.

Jake Mathews led every lap in the B heat on Sunday to take the win, and his team mate Troy Tarbuck took the win in the A.

Tarbuck carried his winning ways over

into the main, leading all but three laps to take the win.

Glenn Pinto filled in for Dan Kemp on Sun-day to take the win in the main.

Travis Stevenson picked up the Mid-Season championship in the Crash to Pass division.

The Hor net cars were also on the track this weekend. Jake Townsend picked up the win in the B dash, and William Boyes won his first ever A dash on Saturday.

Chris Perkins won the B dash on Sunday, with the A going to Gord Fraser.

Ted Dimitrov won the C heat, Townsend won the B, and Daryn Cahill won the A heat on Saturday.

Dimitrov also won the C heat on Sunday, Cameron Phillips won the B and Fraser won the A.

Only one main event was run on Saturday; Cahill took the lead on lap 12 and ran away

with it from there. The B main on Sunday saw Doug Mclean take an early lead and even-

tually take the win. Cahill dominated the A main, taking home the win.

Kevin Lawrenuk ended up winning the Mid-season champi-onship in the Hornet class.

Weston Lane domi-nated the Roadrun-ner division, setting fast time, winning the dash, heat and main event on Saturday.

Andrea Cannon won the Dash on Sunday, but Lane was too much down the stretch, win-ning the Heat and main.

Andrew Buchanan finished the Mid-sea-son champion in the Roadrunner class.

The Bomber cars were also on the card for the weekend.

Charlie Ackerman won the dash on Sat-urday; Rob Gaud-reault won the B dash

on Sunday, and one day after blowing his engine and getting a new one out of an old race car, Johnny Zanette picked up the win in the A dash.

Darren Larson won the B heat, with the A going to Travis Steven-son.

Don Hallgarth was filling in for Mike Morningstar on Sun-day and picked up the win in the B heat; Justin Beaulieu, who drove the car on Sun-day instead of Mike Dionne took the win in the A heat.

Dionne dominated the main on Saturday, leading all but six laps. Zanette managed to pick up his first main event win on Sunday. Gilles Cyr finished

the Mid-season point champion in the Bomber car division.

Extra laps… Next week marks the last appearance of the Wil-roc Sprint cars.

Darren Yates hold the points lead in the Winged division, hold-ing a 22 point lead over Randy Vincent.

Jesse Dardengo holds the points lead in the Lite division, holding a four-point lead over Richard Lejeune.

The Lite cars have been averaging any-where from 12-17 cars this season, so make sure to check them out.

The I.M.C.A Modi-fieds and the Dwarf cars will also fill out a night of all-open wheel racing.

CopsforcancerAll pumped up

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

Sam Van SchieBlack Press

When the 22-person Tour de Rock cycling team rides across Vancouver

Island this fall, they need to do more than just pump out 1,000 kilometres in two weeks.

After a grueling day in the saddle, they still have school children to talk to and fundraisers to attend.

“We need to get to the point where cycling 100 kilometres feels easy, so we don’t just want to go to bed after a ride,” said Island District RCMP Const. Manon Chouinard who, before qualifying for this year’s team, had never ridden a road bike.

Since March riders have spent about eight hours per week on their bike

with three mandatory weekly training sessions focusing on hills, speed and distance. If anyone misses a ride, they have to make it up on their own.

“You don’t want to fall behind. Every week we’re building on what we did the week before,” Chouinard said.

A recent hill-training included powering up Mount Washington, a steep 20-kilometre climb.

When the training gets tough, West Shore RCMP Const. Rod Fraser said he just thinks about the reason he volunteered for the tour.

“It’s all for the kids with cancer. We’re doing this by choice, but they don’t get an option to be sick or not,” said

Fraser, who as a teenager lost his father to cancer.

Money raised by the Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock goes to pediatric cancer research. Since it started in 1998, the annual ride has raised more then $15 million.

Riders set their own fundraising target and organize events to bring in donations. Island District RCMP Const. Sandi Swanson has fundraisers planned almost every weekend to meet her goal to raise $12,000.

“I’m either at a fundraiser or planning a fundraiser,” Swanson said.

Many of her fundraising ideas,

from barbecues to garage sales, come from colleagues who did the ride in previous years. The ride has a roster of business sponsors who give in-kind donations to aid fundraisers.

“We get nothing but support at every turn,” Swanson said. “Being a cop, we work long hours and see a lot of hard things. Seeing the other side, the generosity, and being able to give back, it’s an amazing opportunity.”

Officers are only allowed to participate in Tour de Rock once in their career, which is extra incentive to give it their all. Fraser is hoping to raise $15,000 and Chouinard is aiming for

$20,000.In the next two months,

there will be many fundraisers throughout the region with proceeds going to Tour de Rock.

Swanson is holding drop-in jazzercise at the Pacific Institute for Sports Excellence in Saanich, Aug. 6 from 1 to 5 p.m.

Fraser has a pancake breakfast and garage sale at the West Shore RCMP station in Langford, Aug. 13 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Chouinard hopes to see 400 people attend her “Tank-top, Flip-flop Hop,” a beach-theme dance party for all ages, at the Bay Street Armoury in Victoria, Sept. 20 at 7 p.m.

The Tour de Rock demands total commitment from its riders – both on and off their bikes
