Downtown Campbell River will soon be home to a brightly coloured piano, which the public can use for free.
The Downtown BIA came up with the idea to have a piano
downtown after seeing the same thing in Austin, Texas, and other places in the United States.
“It should be a neat thing,” said Erika Anderson, chair of the BIA. “We’re always looking for new things to try to add some colour and some vibrancy (to downtown).”
This piano isn’t just any old piano either; it will be painted by a group of artists under the supervision of local artist John Bailey, during Art Appreciation Day at Spirit Square. The event happens from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. this Saturday.
Bailey said although the theme
is unplanned, the piano will be bright.
“All I’m trying to do is get colour and people together, and wherever it goes is basically up to who does it,” explained Bai-ley.
The piano will be tuned up in

The Ken Forde Boat Ramp isclosed to boaters again after abrief opening last month.
The free public boat launch, oneof just two in the community, isonce again littered with debrisand inaccessible.
The city first cleared KenForde in late June after receivingapproval from the Department ofFisheries and Oceans to removethe approximately 300 cubicmetres of gravel that cloggedthe boat ramp. The material wastransferred to beach front justnorth of Rotary Park to replenishthe eroded shore and Sea Walk.

The ramp, located across the street from Rona, then reopened to boaters the first week of July but was only operational for about three weeks.
“Since that time, gravel that had accu-mulated on the rip-rap breakwater on the south side of the launch has been washed over the breakwater and into the launch,” said Ross Milnthorp, the city’s general manager of parks, recreation and culture. “We esti-mate there is approxi-mately 50 to 75 cubic metres of material, a fraction of what was in the launch in June, but enough to make the launch unusable.”
Now the city has to begin the application process all over again, as Fisheries regula-tions stipulate the city cannot remove debris without approval nor can it stockpile gravel
while waiting to re-distribute the material to another site. A time-line for how long the city may have to wait to receive the green light for removal is unknown. The previous application, to relocate gravel to the Rotary Beach area, was the city’s last request to go through the Campbell River Department of Fisheries office before application process-ing was centralized in Nanaimo.
“This change in pro-cess makes it impos-sible to predict the application approval process timeline,” Milnthorp said. “I am confident that the Nanaimo office will do their best to process our application as fast as possible.”
As much of a nui-sance the gravel is to boaters, the material is, at the same time, an asset.
“It’s actually pre-
cious material that – if it wasn’t getting hung up at the boat ramps – would continue up the foreshore and nourish the beaches that are starved,” Milnthorp
said before Ken Forde was cleared the first time. “In some ways, and boaters would not agree with me on this, the material clogging the boat ramps is a
blessing because it’s exactly the material we need to re-nourish the foreshore.”
The city’s long-term solution for fore-shore protection is to
continue to use the material that clogs the ramps to nourish starved city beaches, Milnthorp said.
The city and Depart-ment of Fisheries and
Oceans are working to develop a pre-approved schedule for moving material at both the Ken Forde and Big Rock boat ramps each spring to pre-deter-mined locations in need of restoration. That agreement would hopefully allow the city to have the boat ramps cleared out by the start of summer.
“We appreciate the community’s patience while we work to get this plan in place,” Milnthorp said. “Boat ramp maintenance must meet acceptable foreshore habitat man-agement regulations, and the long-ter m plans we are develop-ing will help us get the boat ramps open ear-lier in years to come.”
The city’s other free public launch, Big Rock Boat Ramp, and a boat launch at Discov-ery Harbour ($10 fee per use) both remain open.

time for Art Apprecia-tion Day so that musi-cians are able to play it during the event. And within the next couple of weeks it will be placed downtown…somewhere.
During days with nice weather, the piano will be on display in various downtown locations, and Ander-son encourages people to keep an eye out for it – and for musicians to play a tune or two.
“I hope that some skilled musicians will come downtown and sit down for a while,”
she said.Each night it will
be brought in to avoid vandalism, and Ander-son says she hopes people will respect the piano.
“There is always a chance that it will be vandalized – that’s always a possibility – but we’re just going to have faith in people,” said Anderson.
Anderson also said it may not be perfectly in tune all the time.
“Probably with being moved, and chang-ing air and moisture conditions, it’s not likely to be in tune for
very long,” explained Anderson. “But this is just for fun.”
The piano cost $75 from the ReStore, and was paid for by Remax Realty. And the paint was bought by Coho Books.
Anderson says the main aim of the inex-pensive project is to showcase art in the downtown area.
“It’ll be a nice piece of public art for the rest of the summer,” said Anderson.
The BIA plans to ‘play things by ear’ in regards to the piano’s future.

MLA wants VIHA to reverse its decision on mobile MRI
KRISTEN DOUGLASCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Vancouver Island Health Authority’s (VIHA) decision to not provide mobile MRI services at Campbell River hos-pital is devastating to the medical com-munity, says North Island MLA Claire Trevena.
She said VIHA’s course of action will negatively impact hospital staff as well as the several thou-sands of people who live in region.
“ T h e s u d d e n announcement that VIHA does not plan to proceed with the establishment of this new service will inevitably impact recr uitment and retention of radi-ologists in Campbell River and the Comox Valley, at a time when the two communities are awaiting their
two new hospitals,” Trevena said in a letter to Health Min-ister Mike de Jong, co-written by Doug Routley, Cowichan Valley MLA.
“ I t h a s b e e n described by some in the medical com-munity as ‘devastat-ing’ and ‘as if the rug were pulled from under us.’”
VIHA sought a five-year contract for 2,500 scans per year with a mobile service that would rotate between three or four loca-tions, moving one or two times each month between Campbell River, Comox Valley and Cowichan Valley hospitals.
But following a review of six propos-als, VIHA decided not to award a contract to the external pro-vider.
“The cost for an external mobile ser-vice would be over
$600 per MRI scan; VIHA’s cost is approx-imately $250 per scan done on a site that has an existing MRI,” said a release from VIHA issued last Thursday.
“Given this dif-f e r e n c e, V I H A has decided not to award a contract and will instead provide 22,764 MRI scans in-house this year, an increase from the 21,740 MRI scans that were performed in 2010/11 and 18,526 scans performed in 2009/10.”
But Trevena doesn’t believe cost was the sole deciding factor.
“It is disingenuous for the health author-ity to use cost as an excuse when it must have known that when starting its RFP (Request for Propos-als) process, that the cost would be higher for a mobile MRI than
a static one.“We would hope
that you would act on behalf of all the people on Vancouver Island, who expect equity in health care
provision, and ask that VIHA reverse its decision,” Trevena and Routley wrote in their joint letter to de Jong.
Trevena said the benefits of having the mobile MRI services would be great.
“It will reduce wait times for the approx-imate 3,000 people a
year who, at present, have to travel a great distance to have the MRI,” she said.
“It will also reduce their travel cost and save them a great deal of time.”
She added radi-ologists across the Island were strongly in favour of the mobile services to complement the existing, permanent services in Nanaimo and Victoria.
VIHA said over the past 18 months wait times for MRI scans, a specialized technology which
uses magnetic and radio waves, have decreased.
The average wait time for an MRI scan in Victoria is approx-imately 10 weeks, down from 27 weeks in July 2010 and about 16 weeks in Nanaimo, down from 32 weeks a year ago, according to the news release.
THEY SAID IT: “It has been described by some in
the medical commu-nity as devastating’”

DID YOU KNOW?
Dogs in Campbell River must always be leashed on public property –except at the City’s o cial dog park,
in Pen eld West Linear Park. Dogs are NOT allowed in McIvor Lake. In 2010, the City issued 1,460 dog tags.
FAST FACTS
The City of Campbell River has joined Sustainable Ci es Interna onal. To learn more, check out www.sustainableci es.net.
T h e S t r a t h c o n a Regional District is offering two water effi-ciency rebate programs in an effort to reduce water use among home owners.
The pilot programs give utility rebates on the purchase of new eligible toilets, rain barrels or cisterns to qualifying applicants.
Applicants must be registered home own-ers of legal dwelling units and must not be serviced by private wells.
Toilet Rebate Program
Flushing the toilet accounts for approxi-mately 30 per cent of indoor household
water use. Replacing a 13 litre
toilet with a dual flush (usually three litre and six litre) or high-effi-ciency (4.8L) toilet will reduce indoor water use by approximately 18 per cent.
Home owners who purchase one of these types of toilets can apply for up to two $75 rebates through the Regional District.
Applicants must pres-ent a sales receipt for a new high efficiency or dual flush toilet confirming purchase completed July 1, 2011 or later and must have a disposal receipt for each toilet for which a rebate is being applied for. These can be obtained by dispos-
ing of your old toilet at Campbell River dump, on Argonaut Road.
Rain Barrel/Cistern Rebate
ProgramWater consumption
is about three times higher during the sum-mer, mainly related to lawn watering.
Using a rain barrel or cistern to collect rainwater can promote more efficient use of water in the yard.
Every millimetre of rain on a square metre roof can result in a harvest of one litre of water.
The average annual rainfall in Campbell River during the month of July is 44 mm.
A $50 rebate is avail-able on the purchase of a 150L to 499L capac-ity rain barrel and for cisterns, with 500L or greater capacity, appli-cants can be rebated $150.
Applicants must sub-mit the original sales receipt dated July 1,2011 or later as well as a clear photograph of the installed rain barrel/cistern. There is a maximum rebate of one per property.
The rain barrel/cis-tern must be manufac-tured, be connected to a roof gutter down pipe and have a screen mesh and/or lid covering the opening to ensure ani-mals, bugs and debris cannot get inside.
Applications for both
programs are avail-able at the StrathconaRegional District office(103-990 Cedar Street)or online at www.strathconard.ca
Applications will beprocessed on a firstcome, first served basiswhile funds last.

Prepare for your health care career, one step at a timeIn 2002, Jean Graham started taking high school level science classes at NIC to prepare for entry into nursing. Once registered in her fi nal upgrading class, Jean qualifi ed for early acceptance to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing wait list (an education fast track available to all upgrading students). She graduated in 2009, and today is a maternity nurse, with a message for other students. “Don’t let money or the fear of returning to school hold you back. Even as a single parent, it was all possible.” Upgrading is available at all NIC locations. Why not take your fi rst step today?
INSTRUCTOR PROFILE
FLEXIBLE, FRIENDLY, AND FREE
Nadine Simpson welcomes upgrading students back to school this September
There are two things you don’t do in Nadine Simpson’s classroom: you don’t use her last name and you don’t, by any means, call her ma’am.
Nadine teaches high school level math to students getting ready to enter business, trades, and health programs at NIC. Her continuous entry classes feel more like one-on-one tutoring than a typical lecture.
Students learn at their own pace, but they’re never on their own.
Twice a week, she’s available after-noons and evenings to answer math questions and offer new ways to problem solve whenever students need extra help.
“Classes are designed to be available and fl exible,” Nadine says. “Students should know all upgrading classes are free and that they can still go to work, take care of the kids, and do this.
“And there’s no risk. If you can’t com-plete a course within four months, you can withdraw without penalty, re-register, and start where you left off. You don’t have to repeat informa-tion you’ve already learned.”
Continuous entry upgrading classes are available in Grade 9 to 12 math and English. Register now to start in September.

Explore the depths of the criminal mind
Students will soon be able to dig up a new crime career right in their own backyard with Forensic Anthropology (ANT 260), a new University Studies course being offered at Comox Valley campus this year. During the course, students learn to sift through human remains to recreate a person’s life, personal traumas, and cause of death.
ANT 260 may be taken through the University Studies program, or as an elective of the Criminology diploma.

A8 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR | FRIDAY, AUGUST 5, 2011
OpinionOpinionWHO WE ARE: The Campbell River Mirror is published every Wednesday and Friday by Black Press Ltd., 104-250 Dogwood St., Campbell River, B.C. V9W 2X9. Telephone: 250-287-9227; Fax: 250-287-3238. EDITOR: Alistair Taylor
The Ken Forde Ramp is closed once again while the city pursues permission from Fisheries and Oceans Canada to remove gravel and debris from the boat launch.
While the foreshore is finally receiving its due as a sensitive habitat vis a vis the impacts imposed on it via development, we wonder if this might be going a little overboard. The ramp was closed earlier this year while a plan
was worked out to find a place to take the debris built up during wave action on the shoreline. The beach is correctly being seen now as habitat and not
just a border between land and sea. The removal and deposition of material is not being done with callous disregard for impact on the environment as has been the practice here and elsewhere in the past.
So, while the “red tape” is undoubtedly frustrating to boaters and city staff, it demonstrates a justifiable sensitivity. The city is developing a long term foreshore strategy to naturalize the waterfront as much as possible.
Our past practices of building on the foreshore and barricading it with tons of rip-rap have become obsolete. We stand to inherit a natural and living shoreline as a consequence. One benefit will be the positive impact on salmon, which is certainly not
lost on the residents of this community. Perhaps these boat ramps need to be revisited as a
concept. Should we have them on the foreshore – on the outer shoreline, at the very least? Heresy? Some will see it as such.
Boaters and anglers are seen as an economic benefit to the community and residents see the free ramps almost as a God-given right. But times change and new ideas are needed.
Should taxpayers’ dollars go towards maintenance of free boat ramps? User-pay? Is there somewhere else that can accommodate access to the water?
Time to ask questions. Do we want to hear the answers?
What to do about boat ramps?Our ViewOur View
Combining two centres could create tourism synergy
We say: Perhaps we need a public boat ramp strategy
Good point: VitalityEd. note: This letter was originally published in the
Squamish Chief newspaper. We reprint it here with permission as an outsider’s perspective.
It is with dismay that I read about the loss of Yian-nis, and the string of other (Squamish) businesses that have closed downtown in recent months (“Recent downtown business closures eyed,” Chief, July 22).
Recently a longtime client invited me and my fam-ily to Campbell River to set up a small home office. I was struck by the beauty of the place, which I had not visited for many years. But more than that, I was impressed by the affordability.
Campbell River is just over twice the size of Squamish, at 32,000 people. Its trading area is almost twice that. Its downtown core is clean and pleasant, if not extravagant. The scenery is outstanding. Given these things, I felt certain the cost of living there would meet or exceed that of Squamish. I was wrong.
Living in Squamish and spending almost 95 per cent of my time here, I think I’d forgotten how life was out-side the bubble. You can buy a house in Campbell River for around $250,000 or less. A house! With ocean views! But there was something else that wowed me. Commer-cial space in much of the downtown there costs almost half what it is compared to here.
This got me thinking about the steady march of businesses I’ve seen opening and closing downtown.
Sometimes things just make a lot of sense.
I was intrigued by the proposal to merge the Visitor Centre and the Maritime Heritage Centre (MHC).
You have two adjacent facilities that are among Campbell River’s biggest tourism draws and you have a pro-posal to move the tourism promotion function – primarily the Visitor Cen-tre – into one of those two facilities.
The Maritime Heritage Society (MHS) board wants to create a tour-ism focal point by moving the Visi-tor Centre into the MHC. As Kristen Douglas reported Wednesday, the president of the MHS, Marv Ever-ett, says moving the Visitor Centre into the MHC will provide for a more central and accessible point for tour-ists.
There’s a certain synergy that would be created because both facili-ties would support each other. Visi-tors seeking information would take a few minutes to visit the MHC and wander out onto the Discovery Pier. Makes a lot of sense to me. As it is now, the Visitor InfoCentre is con-nected to the Art Gallery and there certainly would be a loss of spillover traffic into the exhibits and gift store in the gallery. I wonder if the gallery could use the whole building vacated by the InfoCentre? Then there’s the loss of traffic into the Tyee Plaza which I’m sure would be missed. It’s certainly a plan that is not without impact on other parts of the down-town. But on the other hand, the Tyee Plaza is benefitting from the Spirit Square and the great job Jim Creigh-
ton is doing to make that a lively focal point of downtown. So, maybe they could give up a little something.
Now, there is some challenges with diverting tourists to the MHC/Dis-covery Pier. One of the biggest being trying to get huge RVs into the park-ing lot there. The lot’s plenty big enough it’s just turning off the Old Island Highway into it that would be a challenge. Although, I’m sure it could be widened to accommodate them.
There’s also the Sunday morning Farmer’s Market which Everett has proposed could be moved from the MHC to the Tyee Plaza where there’s actually more room. Everybody knows that the MHC parking lot fills up pretty quick and that park-ing spills out along the Island High-
way’s Pier St. area. Which brings upanother issue. The Farmer’s Marketwas started by the Pier St. merchantsto attract people to their area, ofcourse. Losing them to the Tyee Plazaarea would probably not be popular.Conversely, though, they would getall that tourist traffic that theoreti-cally goes to the Shoppers Row/TyeePlaza area.
Although, I wonder how much spilloff there is from tourists visitingthe Visitor Centre and the adjacentshops. I could see visitors decidingto wander onto the pier once they’reout of their RVs (it might be kind ofnerve-wracking pulling in there sothey won’t be in a rush to get back intheir motorhomes to drive out).

The average lease rate down there is $12 to $14 per square foot, plus triple net.
Triple net is your portion of the build-ing’s land taxes, insur-ance and maintenance, and usually adds up to $4 to $5 per square foot or more.
This is per annum, so a 1,000-square-foot space at $14 per square foot, with say $4 in tri-ple net, equals $18,000 per year or $1,500 a month.
B y c o m p a r i s o n , many spots in Camp-bell River could be had for as little as $5 per square foot, with similar triple net. Your monthly lease cost for something like that would be $750 by com-parison.
That’s a big differ-ence! And $12 to $14 is about as low as it gets in Squamish. Up on the highway, you’re look-ing at closer to $22 plus triple net for ground-floor retail space. In those spaces, rents can hit between $2,000 to $4,000 per month in
some cases! I’ve sur-veyed space down in the city in areas with much higher traffic, and in a lot of cases they are similar or even cheaper than Squamish!
Why is Squamish so expensive compared to Campbell River? Prob-ably high real estate costs, which force landowners to charge higher rents to cover financing costs.
These also drive up taxes, which are based on land values. There has been a steady opening of commer-cial space downtown with vacant spaces sit-ting empty for months, but I’ve not seen any movement on lease rates yet.
I’ve thought many times over the 12 years I’ve been in business of opening up some space, hiring, etc. But at the end of the day I’m not convinced the math makes it worth it.
You have to sell a lot of widgets to cover $1,500 a month, and that’s before you fac-
tor in hydro, telephone, Internet and even pay-ing yourself, never mind an employee! With such a small and depleted economic base, it’s a very dicey proposition.
I’ve watched a steady stream of entrepre-neurs trying to make gold out of lead down-town, and closing their doors sometimes in as little as months after starting.
It’s very sad, but given the cost struc-ture, fairly predictable, too.
I’m not sure Camp-bell River is much bet-ter off economically than Squamish, but when I was downtown there I sensed a vital-ity that is almost com-pletely lacking here. When I walk around downtown Squamish I feel like I’m in a dead zone.
Downtown Camp-bell River felt alive,
vibrant. I’m not saying one community is bet-ter than the other, but I do think they planned better.
Past councils here paid homage to the downtown but every development or tax decision they made undermined it.
I sometimes wonder if past councils didn’t deliberately stick the knife into downtown’s back. I’ve heard a few developers (and one or two past councillors) referring to Squamish as the next Carmel, Calif. — an exclusive, gated bedroom commu-nity with no economy of its own and no need for one.
We can talk all we want about creating a high-tech community and economic diver-sification, but as long as it remains prohibi-tively expensive to live and work in Squamish, people and investment
will choose to go else-where.
We are a beautiful place to live, but we are just one jewel in the dazzling crown that is British Columbia. There are other places in our wonderful prov-ince to be, places where the cost of living and doing business isn’t so onerous.
Campbell River has four times our eco-nomic base and half the costs of doing busi-ness — that gives it an edge. You can make a go of it in a situation like that; in a way you really can’t anymore here.
Until we figure out how to make Squamish affordable again, we’re going to keep watching that stream of great businesses like Yian-nis come and go.
Welcome to Carmel North!

Buy Pepsi products at Quality Foods, and help support a hospital Campbell Riverites are
often referred to dur-ing the Help Do Some Good campaign.
From this Sunday, Aug. 7 to Sept. 3, 75 cents from every 12 pack of participating
Pepsi products will go to the Quality Foods Health Endowment Fund.
“It’s an awareness drive,” said Scott McAlpine, assistant
manager of the Camp-bell River Quality Foods. “Obviously this is a fund that’s needed.”
The proceeds from this fundraiser will
go to the Nanaimo Re g i o n a l G e n e r a l Hospital (NRGH) for things like new equip-ment, renovations, and continuing education for healthcare profes-
sionals. Many people from
Campbell River are referred to NRGH for specialized treatments, according to Rob Mac-Kay, marketing direc-
tor for Quality Foods.MacKay says support-
ing NRGH is importantbecause local familiescan often get the carethey need in Nanaimo,rather than having totravel to Vancouver.
“It’s something thatpeople can get behindand support, and feelgood about doing,” saidMacKay.
The Quality FoodsHealth EndowmentFund has been aroundfor about four years,but MacKay says thisproject is different.
“As a company we’venever done anythingthis ambitious forhealthcare before,”explained MacKay. “It’sreally big.”
MacKay says hehopes to raise tens ofthousands of dollarsfrom the sale of Pepsiproducts. Pepsi, DietPepsi, Pepsi Max, 7UP,Mug, Mountain Dew,Crush, Dr Pepper, andSchweppes are allincluded in the fund-raiser.
Boxes of Pepsi prod-ucts will be set up ina display in the frontof the Campbell RiverQuality Foods, aswell as posters withinformation about theQuality Foods HealthEndowment Fund.
“We’re really gettingbehind it at the storelevel,” said MacKay.

Nicole Emery’s love of ani-mals led her
all the way to a small Yukon village last month to help animals who don’t have access to medical care.
Emery ventured to Carmacks, Yukon, a town of about 400 people, for an animal wellness project with the Canadian Animal Assistance Team.
Emery, along with other members of her team, provided veterinarian services to animals who would normally have to travel more than two hours to the nearest veterinarian clinic.
The team set up a temporary animal hospital in the gym of the Carmacks commu-nity centre.
“We had two surgery tables, a vaccination area and a recovery area,” said Emery, a registered animal health technologist at Coastland Veterinary Hospital in Campbell River. “At the end of our trip we spayed and neutered 75 pets – mostly dogs – and vac-cinated over 170. This number still amazes me. A regular vet clinic might have four surgeries in one day and we did 75 in three and a half days.”
Emery and her team also focused on deworming animals plus provided any other treatments
needed.“A couple of dogs
had broken teeth and we were able to take them out for them,” Emery said. “One dog came in that was possibly attacked by a grizzly bear and needed to be put to sleep and we could do that.
“But mostly it was a population control issue and getting as many animals spayed
and neutered as pos-sible.”
The team included two veterinarians, six technologists and one assistant who not only provided medical care, but taught some of the kids how to teach their dogs to do tricks and create a special bond with their pet.
The Canadian Animal Assistance Team is a group of veterinary profession-
als concerned about animal welfare and dedicated to providing veterinary medicine and humane educa-tion for needy animals around the world.
The non-profit orga-nization was founded in Vancouver in the wake of Hurricane Katrina when the team sent 82 veteri-narians and technolo-gists to Louisiana in September and Octo-
ber 2005 to aid in the rescue of thousands of animals displaced by the disaster.
Emery recently joined the group with the trip to Carmacks being her first as a member of the team. She hopes next year to return to Carmacks and pay a visit to Ucluelet which has expressed interest in having the team come out.
Emery said her first experience as part of the Animal Assistance Team was amazing, due largely in part to the generosity of the community.
“Someone moved out
of their house for a few days so we could move in,” Emery said. “I was humbled by the kindness and generosity shown to the Canadian Animal Assistance Team members by the Car-macks community. Every day individuals from the community would stay and help us, including an 11-year-old girl who came every day to assist us.”
She said her biggest surprise on the trip was the size of the dogs she attended to.
“I guess I just assumed there would be a lot of big husky
dogs, being way up in the Yukon but that wasn’t the case, most of the dogs were small,” Emery said with laugh.
“I believe that our work will significantlyhelp the pet popula-tions in Carmacks. We hope to go back again next year and con-tinue our work, which will also include an educational portion for children and adults about animal care and training.”

The Campbell River Mosquito A Tyees went from unknowns to favorites over a four-day tournament in the Lower Mainland.
On Sunday, the Camp-bell River Mosquito A Tyees overcame an ear-lier defeat in the semi-finals to capture the bronze medal game 5-4 over Cloverdale.
The Tyees entered the tournament as unknowns from the Nor th Island and attracted little atten-tion until the skill com-petition.
During four events, the Tyees’ Connor Hall finished second
in a tiebreaker for the catchers’ competition, Jalen Price captured the Home Run com-petition and the team finished near the top at the next two compe-titions.
By then the team had everyone’s attention. This was further con-firmed over the next two days.
In games on Friday and Saturday, the Tyees went 3 and 1.
On Friday, the Tyees defeated Cloverdale 13-7 in game one and then lost game two to Chilliwack 10-9 in the bottom of the sixth.

Campbell River’s Dusty Klatt stepped out of his teammate Col-ton Facciotti’s shadow in Round 7 of the Mon-ster Energy Motocross Nationals in Moncton, NB on Sunday with an impressive double-heat victory.
Facciotti, coming off a clean sweep at Round 6 in Ste-Julie, QC, stayed in the mix to take second overall on the strength of 2-2 heats.
Facciotti snared the first MX1 heat holeshot with on his heels Wil-lard, Klatt, Jared Alli-son, Bobby Kiniry and Teddy Maier.
Ten minutes into the heat Facciotti, making a rare mistake, went down and handed the lead to Klatt on a sil-ver platter. Kiniry, who was running third at the time, took over second place but found
himself looking at a lot of real estate between himself and Klatt.
Meanwhile, Facciotti managed to remount in third place, more than 20 seconds behind Klatt.
Charging hard in a bid to reclaim the lead, Facciotti took over sec-ond place from Kiniry just before the halfway point.
Even though he shaved Klatt’s huge lead down to about five seconds by the end of the heat, Facciotti had to settle for runner-up when the checkered flag signalled the end of the race.
Klatt’s and Facciot-ti’s pace up front was so intense they gapped third place finisher Matt Goerke by about
15 seconds and lapped up to eighth place by the time the heat came to an end.
The second heat holeshot went to PJ Stratton, but with the likes of Klatt, Fac-ciotti, Kiniry, and Maier breathing down his neck he quickly disappeared from the top-five.
Klatt was the first to pass Stratton and once in the lead, the defend-ing champ kept it all the way to the check-ered, recording his best heat of the season in the process and scor-ing his third heat win of the season as well as his first overall.

On Saturday the Tyees returned with two convincing wins over Rutland and Lad-ner to capture top spot in their pool.
On Sunday, the Tyees faced Abbotsford in the semi-finals. After five innings the teams were tied 1-1.
In the top of the sixth, Abbotsford squeezed two runs across and the Tyees were unable to answer in the bot-tom of the inning. Abbotsford went on to win the championship later in the day.
After this the tough defeat the Tyees were
able to regroup and defeat Cloverdale once again in the bronze medal game in a very close 5-4 game which came down to the final out.
This was an amazing weekend for the Island boys.
Price was once again impressive, twice clear-ing the fence in game action for two very important home runs over the weekend.
The young Tyees left their first provincials impressing many with the prospects of future success.
As with the Islands, this took a complete
effort from the whole team and a memora-ble experience for all involved.
Game MVP honours
were won by Price, Jamie Ingersoll, Bro-die Comerford, Connor Hall, Brayden McCau-ley and River Fahey.

The Vancouver Island North Film Commis-sionwill receive $30,000 in funding from the provincial government
this year.“We are very pleased
that the government does recognize our work because it brings economic development to both the region and the province,” said Vancouver Is land
North Film Commis-sioner Joan Miller.
The Vancouver Island North Film Commis-sion serves the Island north of Nanaimo by promoting the region to the film industry; providing information
on local crew, equip-ment, and services; and representing the interests of local com-munities. Since 1995, the Vancouver Island North Film Commis-sion has been involved in film productions which generated more than $80 million in eco-nomic impact on local communities.
The $30,000 will go into the Commis-sion’s core budget, as it is only one source of funding it receives to keep the budget on track.
“We have to apply for funding from about 15 different funders and hope that the funding comes through,” said Miller. “The $30,000 that we do get from the province shows their
faith in what we do,” she explained.
In total $275,000 was given out to regional film commissions and agencies across the province. B.C. is the third-largest produc-tion centre in North America after Los Angeles and New York.
“Since 1978, the B.C. Film Commission has successfully show-cased the province as a motion picture produc-tion centre and filming destination,” said B.C. Film Commissioner Susan Croome in a news release.
“Regional commis-sions and organiza-tions are instrumental in building and pro-moting B.C.’s inven-tory of locations.”

Dawson has been delivering the Mirror newspaper since May 2008. He will be in
grade 7 this year at Phoenix school. He is pictured here with his sister Victoria
who helps with his paper deliveries. Thank you Victoria.
When asked about his hobbies, Dawson said he enjoys any sports, but he belongs
to the Raven Lacrosse team. He also likes to play video games and so spends
some of his Mirror earnings on them.
Dawson is careful to put his Mirror papers into the mailboxes and to deliver on
time. He is helping out by doing an extra route for a couple of weeks this summer.
Now you know why he deserves many thanks and congratulations as Carrier of

No Laser, No Radar, is the Ticket Valid?
I was issued a ticket for Speed Against a Municipal Sign for driving over 30km/hr in a playground zone. The offi cer had no laser and no radar; she fl agged me over, saying “The speed limit here is 30--you were not doing 30.” I can’t say whether I was doing 31 or 51; my best guess based on the location I was pulled over would be somewhere between 30-40. What does the law say surrounding this? Would I have grounds to dispute this ticket?
The law says that a municipality may regulate speed by enacting a bylaw and placing signs to limit the speeds of vehicles on municipal streets. If you pass such a sign your vehicle’s speed cannot legally exceed that shown on the sign. If it does, by one or by one hundred, the court may choose to convict.
The courts will also accept estimates of speed from both police offi cers and the general public where the witness is credible and has knowledge and experience that would allow them to guage speed. Most drivers would have this capability through the experience of operating their own vehicle. Police offi cers have this capability as well as practice with it as they estimate speed and then confi rm that speed with either a laser or radar in the course of their enforcement duties.
It appears that you are not sure of your speed and that it could be over the limit. Being honest, if you cannot convince the court with certainty that it was 30 or less, you will have to dispute on other grounds. These may be that there was no bylaw, there was no sign, the sign was not applicable in the circumstances or the offi cer was mistaken in the estimate. The author is a retired constable with many years of experience in traffi c law enforcement. To comment or learn more, please visit www.drivesmartbc.ca.

RENÉE ANDORCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Local fishing guru, Larry Stefanyk, loves everything about the sport; casting, reeling, and – magazines and books.
As publisher of four fishing books, and one magazine, as well as another one in the works, Stefanyk said he doesn’t end up with too much time left for the actual art of fish-ing.
“I talk about fishing more than I fish,” he said with a chuckle.
Stefanyk started his career selling adver-tising at a fishing magazine in Parksville about 20 years ago.
But about 12 years ago he decided to move to Campbell River and start his own maga-zine, called Island Fisherman Magazine, which he offers for free
to the public.Also, he recently put
out a guide for trout fishing, called Ulti-mate Trout Fishing in the Pacific Northwest, which is his fourth book on fishing over the years.
The new book offers important advice for beginners, like how to obtain a licence, which rods are best for chil-dren, and which lures are best for which fish.
The guide also offers more in depth advice for seasoned pros to up their game, as well as interesting tidbits, such as flipping a bait worm container upside down, so when flipped up and opened, the worms are at the top.
The book contains factoids about trout as well, such as all brook trout stocked in B.C. are now female trip-
loids to prevent them from inter-breeding with native species.
No, Stefanyk did not
go to ‘fishing school’ to learn so much about the sport.
Rather, he said he’s
just picked it up along the way by going to fishing lodges and hanging out with
the experts over the years.
“I’m a great believer in sharing,” said Ste-fanyk, of his need to get the facts about fish-ing out to the public. “I wanted to put it in people’s hands.”
His newest project is another free magazine, which will be released next March. Although he is not sure of the title yet, a possibility is Lakes of Vancouver Island.
Stefanyk is spend-ing a “tremendous” a m o u n t o f t i m e researching the lakes of Vancouver Island. The magazine will
list information about each lake, including directions, elevation, depth, camping facili-ties, and what kinds of fish are in the lake, stocked and native.
Although Stefanyk said some die-hard fisher men may be upset that he is tell-ing the general public about where the best fishing holes are, it’s something he’s com-pelled to do.
“There’s a real need for what I’m going to produce because you can’t find the informa-tion easily,” explained Stefanyk. “I’m going to spill the beans.”
