PAUL RUDAN/THE MIRROR
In the wake of two people dying after falling into the river and being swept over Elk Falls, news signs and fencing in the provincial park warn visitors about the dangers of getting too close to the water.
Safety warnings posted following deathsOne year after a Dutch tourist
fell to his death at Elk Falls Pro-vincial Park, BC Parks and the BC Coroners Service have worked
together to significantly improve safety measures near the falls, while allowing continued public access to this popular attraction.
Today’s visitors to the park will find a new viewing structure, a new sturdy metal staircase, and new signs clearly identifying the
risks of venturing too near the edge of the fast-flowing river.
The new signs use interna-

A student is assisted out of a bus by emergency personnel in Saturday’s mock disaster exercise involving a school bus at Oyster River Fire Hall. Seven fire departments from the Comox Valley participated in a scenario where a school bus collided with a vehicle trying to avoid a cyclist, rolled onto its side and then in turn was run into by two vehicles from behind. The hour-long exercise put emergency personnel through the event under the watchful eyes of trainers. The school bus was provided by the Campbell River Christian School and the students acted as victims.

tional symbols to indicate hazards for falling, for swift water currents and for a waterfall, so they can be easily understood by international tourists and visitors who are unfamiliar with written English.
The Coroners Service started an investiga-tion and BC Parks began a formal assessment process for the park immediately after the death of Cornelius Bot on July 18, 2011. Bot, 42, a tourist from the Netherlands, was taking photos when he slipped, fell into the river and was swept over the falls.
It was the second similar fatality at the park in five years. On June 25, 2006, Tim Arthur, 35, of Nanaimo was getting a glass of water from the river when he too fell in and went over the falls.
Emergency Service Providers and BC Hydro were also consulted during the planning pro-cess, and water flow levels were monitored to determine the best location and design for the new viewing structure.
supply would have to be built, the funding issue had yet to be resolved until Tues-day’s announcement.
“This ag reement between the city and BC Hydro is very important to the citi-zens of Campbell River and our neighbour-ing community part-ners,” said councillor Andy Adams, liaison to BC Hydro, in a news release. “The funding provides a solid foun-dation for us to build on as we work toward the best long-ter m solution for our water supply.”
BC Hydro has com-mitted to fund 75 per cent of the estimated costs (up to $12.5 mil-lion) of the new drink-ing water supply sys-tem.
But Mayor Walter Jakeway doesn’t want the city to make up the rest of the cost.
“It’s not a Campbell River city responsibil-ity,” Jakeway said in an e-mail. “It’s a (BC Hydro) project cost.”
As part of the proj-ect, BC Hydro plans to replace the three large pipes that transport water from the John Hart Dam to the John Hart Generating Sta-tion, with a 2.1-kilome-tre tunnel.
The problem is the city’s drinking water has come from the water flowing through the pipes for 65 years. S t e p h e n Wa t s o n , spokesperson for BC Hydro, said once the tunnel is built, it will be de-watered for scheduled mainte-nance and inspections, and will be unable to
be the primary water source for the city.
That leaves the city with no water supply unless a new system is built. Jakeway said it’s Hydro’s responsibility to provide an alternate system as it’s Hydro’s upgrade project.
T he mayor said H y d r o ’ s f u n d i n g a n n o u n c e m e n t looks,good at first glance, but the city is still left paying a bill.
“They can spin doc-tor the situation all they want, but nothing has changed,” Jakeway said.
Watson thinks other-wise.
“BC Hydro’s funding contribution will help the city to finalize its water infrastructure decision,” he said. “The city has been very supportive of the John Hart project, and
our ongoing positive relationship has culmi-nated in an agreement on BC Hydro’s funding contribution.”
Adams welcomed Hydro’s contribu-tion and said council plans to pursue other sources, such as pro-vincial or federal, funding to make up the balance of the costs.
“The city is not in a position to pay for the water intake construc-tion, whether it be from savings or future debt,” he said. “City council supports this agreement for funding support and appreci-ates BC Hydro’s contri-bution and continued assistance.”
The city hopes to finalize plans, costs and timelines for a new water intake from John Hart Lake in the fall.
The John Hart Dam
Generating Station project is scheduled to be complete by the end of 2018 and is expected to create around 400 jobs a year over the five years of construc-tion, according to BC Hydro.
The project is set to replace a facility that’s been operating since 1947 to improve power reliability and seis-mic safety. The project involves replacement of the water intake at the John Hart Spillway Dam, replacing the pipes with a tunnel, constructing a replace-ment generating sta-tion beside the existing station, and building a new water bypass facility. The John Hart project is still undergo-ing a review by the BC Utilities Commission; a decision is expected by spring 2013.

Sheila Keats can’t count the number of times she’s been approached by people frustrated with trying to report incidents to the SPCA.
Keats, a volunteer dog walker for the SPCA for at least seven years, says she’s often mistaken as a shelter staffer while out walk-ing the dogs through city parks and recre-ational areas.
On several occasions, she’s been approached by people complaining that they’ve witnessed a dog bylaw infraction, but don’t know how to report it.
“A lady approached me saying there was an off-leash incident the other day and she didn’t know the num-ber to call,” Keats says. “I looked at the sign and realized ‘yeah, you’re kinda right.’ Another lady tracked down city hall’s number but was then directed to the SPCA’s number.”
Keats says the prob-lem is there is no phone number posted in city parks, where letting dogs off their leash is prohibited under a city bylaw.
“The same sense of frustration is felt when they see owners failing to clean up after their pets,” she says. “Many people car ry cel l phones, but first they have to find the right
number to call.”Keats wrote a letter
to council, suggesting the city put stickers with the SPCA’s phone
number on the park bylaw signs. Coun. Andy Adams was impressed with Keats’ suggestion.
“I think this is a great idea, to put the hotline number to inform the SPCA of violations,” he said at a council
meeting June 26. Keats received a let-
ter from the city a few days later saying coun-cil had adopted her idea.
SPCA manager Kath-leen Embree, says get-ting the information on the bylaw signs is a good step.
“Having the numbers on the those signs is going to help because people don’t know who to call,” she says. “It won’t increase our response time but it will be easier for the public.”
Embree says people do call to report offend-ers, with Dick Murphy Park (Tyee spit) fol-lowed by Robron Park having the most inci-dents. The SPCA will give out $100 fines to repeat offenders.

Rash of stolen pickups and a jump in property crime
Campbell River RCMP responded to 296 calls for service last week.
With the more seasonal warm weather, it appears that property crime has seen a jump in levels.
In addition to the usual thefts from boats and motor vehicles, there has been a jump in the thefts of vehicles; namely pickup trucks.
Since June 27, there have been five suchthefts with all since being recovered.

The local chapter of a movement to stop smart meters says the city has a responsibil-ity to protect citizens from the controversial devices.
John Warn, the head of the Campbell River chapter of the Coali-tion to Stop Smart Meters, made a presen-tation to council last month encouraging councillors to ask for a moratorium on smart meters.
Tim Benoit, spokes-person for the local branch, says since the coalition’s delegation June 26, council has “done nothing” and in the process reneged on its responsibilities.
“Local government has the responsibility to protect its residents’ health and security,” Benoit said in a news release. “A municipal-ity must take action when it lear ns of something that could be harmful to its resi-dents. It must notify the Minister of Health or take immediate action.”
The coalition claims smart meters pose a health threat because they run on Wi-fi and emit radiofrequency electromagnetic fields, which have been clas-sified by the World Health Organization as a carcinogen.
BC Hydro points out that smart meters use the wireless signal to transmit power con-sumption to BC Hydro three times a day and that the meters are active for an average of less than one min-ute per day.
Hydro also says the signal is similar to a radio or television sig-nal and that the radio frequency from a smart meter over 20 years is equivalent to a single, 30-minute phone call.
Still, critics of the smart meter warn of other problems.
Warn says there have been unverified reports of fridges, ovens and other appliances being destroyed from power surges after and dur-ing smart meter instal-lation. The devices also pose a potential fire hazard, he claims.
Benoit says the bot-
tom line is BC Hydro did not do proper research before it began putting in the devices, which are scheduled to be installed in Campbell River over the next couple weeks.
“The B.C. govern-ment legislated this c h a n g e - o v e r a n d bypassed the BC Utili-t i e s C o m m i s s i o n , allowing BC Hydro to ignore the public’s comments and con-cerns,” Benoit says.
Ted Olynyk, spokes-person for BC Hydro, says there’s a great deal of misinforma-tion spreading over the Internet about smart meters.
“The Internet is a great place for infor-mation, but not all of it is correct informa-tion,” he says.
Olynyk notes the radiation levels from smart meters are so low that public places with Wi-fi pose a greater health risk than hav-ing a smart meter outside your home. He says a one-way trip from Departure Bay to Horseshoe Bay on the ferry is the equivalent of the amount of radia-
tion someone would be exposed to in 35 years of having a smart meter.
Hydro says the smart meters will allow the corporation to get the lights back on faster in the event of a power outage because the meters will alert BC Hydro immediately of an outage. Hydro says the devices will also allow customers to save money on their hydro bills because the meters allow custom-ers to see their daily energy use.
“The rates will go up, but because of a hand-held device people can choose to have...you can see what your consumption is so you could make adjust-ments,” Olynyk said. “Consumers can save five to 15 per cent by making small adjust-ments.”
Still, anyone who wants to delay instal-lation can put a signed note on their old meter. BC Hydro says it will follow up with the cus-tomer to discuss any concerns, but what happens long-term is still undecided.

In the interest of diversifying the economy, perhaps another line could be added to the welcoming sign
at the south end of the city. It could read: Drop off your scrap metal here!
We’re kidding, of course, but the busiest entryway to our beautiful city is an eyesore.
The large industrial-style grey-metal sign was never an eye-pleaser
and provides a vivid contrast to Nanaimo’s well-done entrance signs; which is ironic given that the City of
Nanaimo generally resembles one long strip mall.But we digress.Our ugly sign was helped out by the beautiful
garden of annuals planted in foreground plot. One year a diligent and esthetically-minded city gardener even managed to arrange the flowers in the colours and style of the city’s logo. Nice.
But with this year’s tax hikes and spending cutbacks, the nice little garden plot has gone to grass and weeds. It’s also overgrown and gives visitors the distinct impression that either no one is home or nobody cares.
That’s disheartening especially after the last few years of entering, and receiving accolades, for the national Communities in Bloom contest. It’s as if the city’s collective “green thumb” suddenly turned brown.
The city obviously cannot afford these little “frills” so why can’t the job of gardening our entrances be turned over to the Campbell River Garden Club or other volunteers?
They would do a great job and would take pride in their work. And perhaps they could even run a few flowering vines over that hideous sign.
Has our ‘green thumb’ turned brown?Our ViewOur View
B.C.’s focus on liquefied natural gas makes no sense
We say: The city’s south entrance has become an eyesore
BY BEN PARFITT In 2009, British Gas, a leader in the
global liquefied natural gas (LNG) trade, submitted a voluminous environmental assessment report for a massive new gas processing plant and export terminal in Australia’s Queensland state.
The plant, now under construction and scheduled to open in 2014, will produce just slightly more gas than two proposed LNG projects that have passed environmental reviews and been granted approvals to export processed gas from the Kitimat area on British Columbia’s central north coast.
Since we are now, according to BC’s Min-ister of Energy and Mines Rich Coleman, in a “foot race” with Australia to ship our natural gas to Asian markets, we might
want to reconsider the wisdom of doing so in light of two disturbing facts in that report from Down Under.
When British Gas released details on its Queensland plant three years ago, there were no fewer than 17 LNG plant proposals under consideration in Australia. In B.C. there are currently about half a dozen.
To grease the wheels of LNG develop-ments here in B.C., Premier Christy Clark recently announced that her government would amend its Clean Energy Act so that natural gas qualifies as a “clean” fuel when it is used to power up LNG plants.
She was notably silent on what this means for the government’s legislated greenhouse gas emissions reduction tar-gets.
It’s no surprise why.When the Queensland LNG plant is in
full production, the combustion of natural gas in its state-of-the-art combined cycle turbines, the venting of CO2 from the feed gas entering the facility, and the flaring of gas at the facility will result in 2.8 million tonnes of additional greenhouse gas emis-sions per year.
Such emissions should give British Columbians pause. The National Energy Board has granted two LNG projects pro-posed for the Kitimat area — BC LNG Export Cooperative and Kitimat LNG — the rights to export virtually the same vol-ume of gas as the plant in Queensland.
In addition, Shell has recently announced that it is considering constructing what could be a third LNG plant in Kitimat that would produce another 12 million tonnes of LNG.
Were all three BC plants to materialize
and be powered by natural gas turbines as Premier Clark has given them the green light to do, the increase in B.C.’s green-house gas emissions would be enormous – potentially another 5.7 million tonnes, based on the projected performance in Queensland.
Such an increase would push B.C.’s over-all emissions as of 2010 up another 9.1 per cent. That’s precisely the opposite of what we need to do.
By 2020, B.C. is by law supposed to have reduced its overall emissions to 33 per cent below 2007 levels. Worse, the emissions associated with getting all of the natural gas out of the ground to run through those LNG plants will be even higher.
Clark and Coleman ignore such
As we all know, Campbell River is going through an awkward year due to financial difficulties. However, that doesn’t mean that we as citizens have to be sur-rounded by a sea of weeds when we go for a walk or drive through the city.
The city staff are doing what they can. As private citizens we can do our part to get us through to better times.
If every person, whiling for a walk in our fair city, just pulled one weed a day, it would make a great dif-ference in the appearance of our city.
Although weeds are a natural occurrence, in general, their appearance reflects a feeling of not caring and giving up.
That could not be further from the truth in Campbell River. Visitors, tourists and citizens need to absorb the atmosphere of “this is a great place to live.”
We do have it all.Please join the pick-a-weed-a-day movement to get
the “Five bloom” distinction of Communities in Bloom back again this summer.

troubling details, argu-ing that natural gas is “clean” when burned to liquefy gas that is then sold to China, Korea and Japan, and allegedly displaces the burning of coal.
In this, they may have company. NDP energy critic John Horgan has mused that he’s untroubled by “burn-ing a little gas” here if it displaces the burn-ing of allegedly dirtier fuels somewhere else.
B.C. politicians may wish this “displace-ment” to happen, but in truth there is little evidence to suggest that it will.
A more plausible outcome, based on the fact that green-house gas emissions in China, Japan and Korea continue to rise and that there is no global commitment to cap such emissions, is that those countries and others will end up burning more gas and more coal.
As disquieting as it is to see our government apparently abandoning B.C.’s climate change commitments, equally alarming is that their boosterish stance on LNG exports also ignores some troubling economic realities.
In its Queensland LNG report, British Gas noted that there was only a narrow win-dow of opportunity to get its new plant into o p e r at i o n . T h at ’s because the supply of natural gas from Aus-
tralia alone could flood export markets and send prices spiraling down.
“It is unlikely that all but a few projects will proceed,” the company reported, adding that it was critical to the company’s financial bottom line to win the so-called foot race and have its Queensland operation in operation by no later than 2014-2015.
In the global race to supply Asia with LNG, it looks like Queen-
sland is well ahead. Which begs the ques-tion: Why do B.C.’s elected leaders persist in entering a race that looks more and more like a climatic and eco-nomic race to the bot-tom?

Gas: We’re losing the building raceContinued from Page 8
This month scien-tists from all across Canada held a funeral march on Parliament Hill for the “death of evidence.”
They were protesting how North Island MP John Duncan and his Conservative govern-ment are ignoring evi-dence in policy-mak-
ing, cutting off fund-ing to vital research and preventing govern-ment scientists from presenting evidence to the public.
T h i s n o r m a l l y reserved group was moved to noisy protest by a set of decisions of the Conservative gov-ernment that shows
disregard for the hard work that our scien-tists do to generate knowledge for the ben-efit of Canadians.
The Conservatives are eliminating the Experimental Lakes Area, which we have used for 40 years to pro-tect us from poisons in our water.
T hey ki l led the mandatory long form census, depriving us of a clear picture and understanding of the circumstances that Canadians face in their daily lives.
Scores of federal scientists will no lon-ger be monitoring and reporting to us about
the environment that our children and grandchildren will have to live in.
I believe that to make good decisions you need good data. Yet Mr. Duncan and the Con-servatives are eroding that data, bit by bit.

In June, my wife and I camped at Ralph River and hiked the beauti-ful trails in Strathcona Park. Unfortunately, a sight we were disap-pointed and frustrated to see was the count-less empty beer cans strewn along the side of Westmin Road, most concentrated at the
entrance to the Myra Falls mine site but con-tinuing consistently to as far as 15 kilometres away from the site.
Obviously, these beer cans could be left by people other than mine employees, but I think it would be delu-sional to attribute the vast majority of them
to any other group of people.
Mine employees and outdoor enthusiasts are the two largest groups of people using that highway, and I don’t imagine many outdoor enthusiasts dumping trash in the very wilderness they have traveled so far to
see.Tossing away cans
is unacceptable from both public safety and environmental per-spectives. My wife and I biked between Ralph River and the Myra Falls mine site several times and picked up as many cans as we could fit in our back packs,
but we hardly made a dent in the debris.
I do not think for a second that all mine employees are to blame for this mess. Actually, I imagine it is caused by a very small group.
Re gardless, such behaviour is thought-less and dangerous, and I believe that
Nyrstar should make an effort to address the problem.
I wrote Nyrstar about this very topic two weeks ago, but have not received a response, which is why I have decided to take my complaint public.
As both a paramedic, who sees the fallout of
drinking and driving, and an outdoor enthu-siast who hates to see trash in an otherwise pristine wilderness, I ask everyone to not drink and drive, and when you do drink, please dispose of your cans properly.

Seal the Deal!With a great ad Here!
Summer is here at last and hopefully that’s good news for our busy tourism sector on the North Island.
I know that the ridic-ulously high ferry fares have had an impact on some businesses. The season is short and there is a great deal of economic and emo-tional investment on both the business and consumer end.
I have been working with some tourism operators in facilitat-ing meetings with the Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Innova-tion to explore ways of integrating their needs with those of the natu-ral resource sectors. Our communities sur-vive because we can
find balances between differing needs and demands.
Minister Pat Bell returned to Campbell River last week, for the second round of meetings on the pilot jobs plan. There is no question that the tight time frame for the pilot is linked to the election timetable and a quickly organized meeting could be an excuse for a government photo-op, but that doesn’t lessen the importance of working together on economic regenera-tion.
Rivercorp, the eco-nomic development agency in the city, has been bringing projects together and the com-munity is dedicated in
making sure that we do create long term, sustainable jobs.
P a r t o f every com-m u n i t y ’ s e c o n o m i c foundation i s v i a b l e health care which is why I am pleased that a f ter years of dis-cussion and much hard work and lobbying by community members Campbell River is get-ting its new hospital.
This will not only bring jobs in the con-struction of it, but will also give a sense of security to those who are looking at settling in the region that their
health care needs will be met.
However, it is trou-bling that the V a n c o u v e r Island Health Authority is committed to a public-private p a r t n e r s h i p ( 3 P ) i n t h e building and maintenance of our new hospital. This is a very costly
way to build public and operate infrastructure and it locks the health authority into a long-term contract with the private sector for maintenance.
It is also troubling that there is still not clarity on whether a P3 will also mean the privatization of clean-ing and other jobs pres-ently done by union-ized health authority employees.
As critic for the Min-ister of Children and Family Development I continue to have meetings with vari-ous individuals and organizations about the ministry’s opera-tion. In particular I am hearing a great deal of concern about the new multi-million dollar computer sys-tem (ICM) which has
been introduced but which does not meet the needs of front line social workers.
This is an issue I have already raised with the minister in the Legisla-ture and will continue to pursue. I have been asked what is happen-ing with the Opposi-tion’s four-person for-estry committee, of which I am a member.
It is in abeyance for the time being while our two forestry critics are working on a legis-lative committee look-ing at timber supply and the impact of the mountain pine beetle.
July is a good time
for celebrations: many plaudits go to the orga-nizers of Campbell River’s spectacular Canada Day events and a huge bundle of thanks to Trevena’s Team, who joined me in the parade on their bicycles.
Later this week I’ll be up in Port Hardy to enjoy Filomi Days. You can always reach me by e-mail at Claire.t r e v e n a . m l a @ l e g .bc.ca ; friend me on Facebook or follow @clairetrevena on Twit-ter. Call the Campbell River office at 250-287-5100 or toll-free at on 1-866-387-5100.

“These tours are a great opportunity for people to come and see for themselves the diligence and hard work each farmer puts towards carrying for their fish, and to ask any questions they have about how farms operate each day,” said David Minato, community relations co-ordinator.
The tours run each Thursday until Sept. 13, each week bringing up to 11 people to a Camp-bell River-area farm to learn more about finfish aquaculture: an important local business which is sometimes misunderstood.
This public program is starting a few weeks later than usual this year as a result of height-ened biosecurity measures temporarily in place by local companies. Tours resume on Thursday, July 26.
“We’re glad to have this program back for the sixth year running: it really is the best way for people to learn, first hand, about salmon farm-ing. Our farmers are happy to have visitors so they can share more about the work they’re so proud to do,” said Mary Ellen Walling, the asso-ciation’s executive director.
Tours depart from Discovery Launch Water Taxis in Campbell River at 9 a.m. and last about four hours. The boat ride takes visitors through the Seymour Narrows – offering beautiful scen-ery and the chance to see marine wildlife such as seals, otters and whales.
Tours include lunch and cost $50 per person. Reservations are required and are being taken now – to book your spot, phone Minato at (250) 286-1636 ext. 224.

KRISTEN DOUGLASCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Eighteen-year-old Ke e g a n Tab e r n e r dreamed of sailing to Hawaii and back.
He was set to live his dream earlier this month before things changed.
Taberner, who had tentatively planned to embark on his journey July 1, to raise money for juvenile diabetes, has altered his sched-ule and his map.
Taberner, who grad-uated from Timber-line Secondary School in June, was to sail 16,000 kilometres in six months. His plan, dubbed “Keegan Tab-erner’s Sail for Juve-nile Diabetes,” was to travel for six months south to Puerto Val-larta, Mexico before heading over to Hawaii and then back up the Strait of Juan de Fuca towards home.
B u t b e c a u s e o f costly boat insurance required to enter U.S. waters, Taberner had to tweak his route at the last minute.
He also realized his mission might be more effective by keeping it local.
Taberner’s goal is to raise money and aware-ness of juvenile (type 1) diabetes, a disease he’s lived with since he was two-years-old. Since then Taberner
has had to take insulin injections four times every day.
“After sitting down and thinking about it, I thought it would be bet-ter to focus on raising awareness in one area rather than spreading ourselves too thin,” Taberner said.
Taberner’s new route will take him 1,700 kilo-metres around Vancou-ver Island. Starting in Campbell River and heading north towards Port Hardy, Taberner will make his way around the west side of the Island until he hits Port Renfrew.
From there, he plans to sail along the Wash-ington State coast, dip-ping down into Seattle and then cruising back up along the coast of the Mainland up to Powell River before making his way north and back across to Campbell River.
He leaves Monday and plans to return to Campbell River Sept. 17.
His trip was delayed a few weeks because preparations weren’t complete on his boat in time for a July 1 depar-ture.
Taber ner’s Aloha 34-foot sailboat, named Themistocles in hon-our of the Athenian general credited with persuading Greece to build a navy, came from Oak Bay. Bring-
ing it home from the south Island was an adventure in itself.
“I sailed it back from Sidney and it turned
out to be slightly stormy weather,” Tab-erner said. “There were about 40-knot winds and 10-foot
waves. It was a little hairy there. Since then I’ve upgraded it and I’ve been working on it every day, about 10
hours a day.”The trip was a good
practice run for what Taberner may run into along his journey.
“A few parts are going to potentially be hairy scary,” he said. “Seymour Narrows of course but that’s easy to plan. Nahwitti Bar, just north of Port Hardy, there can be some crazy winds in there. Brooks Penin-sula on the west coast, there’s essentially nothing, just this big jutting out rock and you have to sail around it.”
Although as the skip-per Taberner will be responsible for navi-gating the challenging waters and tides, he won’t be alone.
Friend Carsen Black, 18, who Taberner grad-uated with, has sailing experience and will do the entire journey with Taberner. The young sailor is also still look-ing for a couple of people who want to do
short legs.The trip is broken
down into 35 legs, with stops in 28 communi-ties on the Island and in Washington.
At each stop, Tab-erner has already con-tacted local media and hopes people will come down to the dock and meet him.
“I’m encouraging peo-ple to come down so I can raise awareness of juvenile diabetes and hopefully, if they’re feeling generous, raise some funds,” he said. “It’s going to be great to meet everybody and it’s going to be a neat cultural experience. I’ve never been to Kyu-quot, so I’m excited for that.”
As his departure date nears, Taberner said he’s not feeling any nerves, he’s just anx-ious to get out on the water.
“I’m actually really excited,” he said. “This trip is a bit shorter but it’s still long.”
Taber ner departs Campbell River this Monday from Discov-ery Harbour Marina between 1-1:30 p.m. and the public is invited to see him off.
Taberner, who has so far raised $15,000, is also still taking dona-tions for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund through his web-site, www.keegantab-erner.com

Keegan Taberner recalled one of his most memorable sailing excursions when he took out his friends – who had no sailing experience – for a ride and they ran into stormy weather.
“They got a little nervous and it’s funny watching them because they’re going ‘It’s all over!’ and I know it’s fine,” he said. “On a little, 24-foot boat we went out once and it got quite rough. It was fine, but just watching their faces, it was funny for me,
but not for them. I just watched them turn slowly green. You can actually see people turn green. You can see the colour drain from people’s faces.”
Some of Taberner’s best memories also include spending summers sailing out at Desolation Sound and watching the bears and the eagles flying overhead.
“It’s a beautiful area here,” Taberner said. “Everyone rips on Campbell River, but it’s so beautiful here, there’s so much to see.”

PAUL RUDAN/THE MIRRORPerfect hair...always!Kerry Fraser was always known as one of the best referees in the National Hockey League, but he was better known for his immaculate coiffure. Now
retired from reffing the big boys, Fraser was in Campbell River on Monday night to officiate the charity hockey match between the NHL Oldtimers and the
local Law Enforcement club. The undermanned Law Enforcement team weren’t much of a match for the Oldtimers which included Hall of Famers Bryan Trot-
tier and Glenn Anderson. Even a couple lopsided trades didn’t help the Cops who fell 17-12...or something like that. See more photos on Page A31.

BC Hydro crews were going flat out much of Monday to repair wind damage that caused power outages from south of Willow Point to north and west of Campbell-ton.
Wind gusting above 100 kilometres Sunday sent a tree crashing onto power lines downtown.
Campbell River Community Centre employees came to work Monday morning to find a cold and dark building.
The centre’s computer system was still idle Monday afternoon. The nearby Scotia-bank was in the dark much of the day.
In all there were more than 25 outages across the city affecting more than 700 cus-tomers.
Residents of the Quinsam Indian Reserve were also in the dark.Outages on Quadra and
Cortes islands affected more than 2,000 customers on Mon-day. More than 500 customers were still without power on the islands on Tuesday.
The Sunday storm also forced cancellation of Camp-bell River to Quadra and Quadra to Cortes ferry sail-ings. Cancellations on the two routes continued into Tuesday.

Christine williams andher husband were pad-dling the Campbell Riverestuary near BaikieIsland when they spot-ted this: A grey whale!The couple was totallyawed.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has begun collecting and testing wild salmon off the coast of British Columbia to determine the status of three salmon diseases: infec-tious haematopoietic necrosis, infectious pancreatic necrosis and infectious salmon anaemia.
While all three dis-eases are no risk to human health, they are highly contagious and can cause mortality in wild and aquaculture salmon.
I n f e c t i o u s h a e -matopoietic necrosis is known to exist in cer-tain species and popu-lations of wild finfish in British Columbia. The surveillance ini-tiative will determine its presence in certain species and popula-tions of wild finfish in British Columbia. Infectious pancreatic necrosis and infectious salmon anaemia have not been confirmed in British Columbia.
Through this initia-tive, approximately 5,000 wild salmon will
be collected annually, for a minimum of two years. The Agency will also evaluate the ongo-ing testing of farmed salmon.
All disease testing, as well as any activi-ties undertaken to respond to confirmed cases, will follow inter-national guidelines and national aquatic animal health require-ments.
Any confirmed dis-ease cases will be reported on a monthly basis through the agen-cy’s website.
Wild salmon tested for disease
Province helps with school suppliesThe province has
fast-tracked increases to the school startup supplement so income and disability assis-tance clients – and now hardship assistance clients – with children in school can receive the extra money in time for the start of the school year.
Families on assis-tance will now receive $100 for every child aged 5-11 (up from $84) and $175 for every child 12 and over (up from $116).
As well, the school startup supplement is being extended to children on hardship assistance.
Payment will be on the August assistance cheque issued at the end of July and is expected to benefit approximately 23,000 children this school year.

We often take the modern world and its many conveniences for granted.
Yet one hundred years ago, the early North Island settlers overcame formidable obstacles every day to survive, and still found time and energy for fun.
T h e M u s e u m at Campbell River invites you to come explore these two dimensions of pioneer life at the drop-in Pioneer Day, on July 25 from 1-4 p.m.
Costumed guides will tell you all about daily pioneer life, then let you try it out. You can wash clothes the hard way, receive an old-fashioned school les-son, and experience the simple joys of pioneer games and toys.
Finally, staff will be opening the float house to the public for a lim-ited time, where guests will have the chance to dress up in period clothes and pose for a
portrait. This interac-tive day is sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike. Call (250)287-3103 or e-mail [email protected] for more information.
Meridian defines the lines that circle the earth, constantly cross-ing over and connecting with each other.
Steve and Vivian Ruskin, in their more than 30 years as a duo, have connected and been influenced by many musicians and genres along the way, and share a mutual love for numerous musical styles. They slide com-fortably from ballads to blues; celtic to contem-porary; and traditional to originals.
The duo will be play-ing at Willie’s Cafe this Saturday at 7 p.m.
Steve grew up with classical piano train-ing.
His playing styles grew to include rhythm and blues as well as ragtime and rock. He
even enjoyed a stint of piano playing for silent movies in a ‘70s the-atre in his hometown of Toronto. Steve also plays a mean harmon-ica. Vivian grew up in Victoria with roots
steeped in Country and Western and the moun-tain music of her Blue Ridge Mountain raised grandmother.
As a child, she sang with her father who taught her guitar. She
later switched her focus to following in the foot-steps of Joan Baez, Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan.
Steve and Viv are also members of the Comox Valley band, 5Play (www.5Play.ca).
Check out Meridian at Willie’s Cafe (2380 South Island Highway). For reservations call (250) 923-4886

Area residents have formed a group called Save the Heart of Quadra Parks, to raise funds toward the pur-chase of a 395-hect-are property on north Quadra Island.
The land forms a key link between exist-ing parks at Octopus Islands and Small Inlet.
“These parks are treasured by boaters and area residents,” says committee mem-ber Jeanette Taylor, “but few realize the jig-saw-shaped property at their core is privately-owned timberland.”
The land includes a portage trail that runs between Waiatt Bay and the head of Small Inlet. A trail continues past a waterfall and on to the turquoise blue Newton Lake.
“The real challenge here,” says Taylor, “is that we have to raise $200,000 before the end of September.”
The BC Parks Branch has had the property on their top-10 acqui-sitions list for over a decade. They signed off on a purchase agreement this spring
and a campaign kicked into gear to meet the $6.15 million purchase price.
The province hopes to achieve this through a combination of carbon tax credits, land swaps and grants. They have asked area residents to join them, to raise part of the funds and pro-vide a demonstration of community support that acts as leverage.
Judy Leicester, who co-ordinates much of the volunteer work on
Quadra Island’s vast network of trails, is proud of the fact that a the local committee has already amassed $45,000.
About a third of those funds have come through contributions to a “$1,000 Club,” and more has been pledged. The first 22 people to sign up for the club will enjoy a daytrip to the parks aboard Moth-ership Adventure’s his-toric boat the Colum-bia III this fall.
The committee is also looking for dona-tions of $10,000 and up, which will be per-manently recognized on a stone cairn. The marker will be placed on the portage route in the proposed addition to the parks.
“Contributors to this purchase are showing vision,” says Leicester.
“This wilderness area will take on increas-ing importance in the future, as the popula-tion rises. Residents now, and in a century from now, will thank us for this.”
The parks on north Quadra Island link to a coast-wide chain of protected areas that are prized by boaters.
“So who cares about a place that’s off the beaten track?” asks Taylor. “Boaters of every size and stripe, for sure. Anyone who has ever paddled their kayak into Waiatt Bay or gone ashore in their dingy to hike the trail to Newton Lake for a swim, will want this place preserved as is.”
For more informa-tion, visit www.quad-raparks.ca, where you’ll find a donor form, or call Leices-ter at 250-285-2663. All donations are wel-come. Those at $25 and up are eligible for a tax receipt from Quadra Island Conservancy.

WITH DIABETES, YOUR ODDS
AREN'T GOOD.
I want to make a Living Will outlining that I should not be kept alive on arti cial life support. What are my options? Life support includes treatments such as CPR, arti cial breathing machine, tube feeding, dialysis, etc. It is critical that you clarify whether you want to receive life support under all circumstances or for a trial period and if your medical situation has no improvement then life support should be discontinued or you do not wish to receive life support under any circumstances. If you don’t have a Living Will the health care providers and your family tends to keep you alive longer then you might have wished. If your decision is to have all means used to keep you alive and then all available arti cial means will be used. Under those circumstances, discontinuance of life support becomes dif cult decision for the health care providers. If you absolutely refuse the life support then you run the risk of health care providers taking it lightly and chances are that they may not provide the life support when it could extend your life. I tend to recommend the trial period approach. Doctor in consultation with your family will be able to decide what is best for you in the given circumstances. Existence of the Living Will shows that how seriously you were thinking about these dif cult matters. Even if the decision is made by the doctor and family members; your Living Will makes it easier for them to make the decision of discontinuation of the life support. You should review and approve your Living Will to show that your wishes are still the same.

Lynne was born in Scarborough, Ontario and moved to beautiful Campbell River 15 years ago with her late husband Garry. She enjoyed the outdoors and was not one to shy away from a new adventure. One example being to learn to ski at the age 58, handicapped with the fear of heights. One of her favorite pastimes was walking her beloved and mischievious dog Dawson.
Lynne will be forever be loved and in our hearts. Our loving memories of her will last a lifetime.
The family would like to thank Dr J. Walker, Dr W. Prinsloo, Red Cross,the VIHA Nurses and Home Support Services and her close friend Bev Morris.

The derelict boat is gone.
“We decided to get on with it
and move it,” said Mike Gage
of the Campbell River Salmon
Foundation (CRSF).On Dec. 27, a derelict boat being
towed to Cortes Island broke free
and washed ashore in the mouth
of Willow Creek. A subsequent
washing of hands from official
agencies like the Coast Guard,
Fisheries and Oceans Canada
and the City of Campbell River
meant the boat was going to be
left to break apart on the beach
in the mouth of a potential
salmon creek.But on Wednesday, Mike Gage
and the Campbell River Salmon
Foundation secured permis-
sion from Fisheries to go in and
remove the boat with an excava-
tor. “We weren’t going to leave it
there,” Gage said. “It was right
in the estuary.”The CRSF took on the cost of
the operation and will try to
recoup it from their fundraising
efforts.Gage said it would cost under
$2,000 to clean up the boat. The
services of A. Wood Bulldoz-
ing were secured to remove it.
Gage cleared the operation with
Fisheries who said ‘go ahead as
long as it doesn’t do any envi-
ronmental damage.’ The City of
Campbell River then gave CRSF
permission to run a backhoe on
the breakwater beside Ken Forde
Park.
“I think the estuary will look
better without it,” Gage said.
Gage said the presence of the
boat on the beach wasn’t send-
ing the right message about
Campbell River. If this boat was
allowed to be left to fall apart
there, then there’d be boats lit-
tering the beaches up and down
Vancouver Island, Gage said.
The CRSF’s mandate is to help
streamkeeping projects from the
mouth of the Oyster River north
to the estuary of the Salmon
River in Sayward.

The Fisheries and Oceans Can-
ada (DFO) is assigning six new
vessels to monitor fish farming
activity on the West Coast and
five will be stationed in Campbell
River. In Campbell River on Monday
Fisheries Minister Keith Ashfield
said the B.C.-built vessels will all
be dedicated to the BC Aquacul-
ture Regulatory Program.
Three of the vessels – the
Salmon Bay, the Sturgeon Bay
and the Oyster Bay – will conduct
fish health management inspec-
tions, sea lice audits, stream sur-
veys, ocean floor sampling and
fish farm inspections.
The other three vessels – the
MacLeod Bay, the Weaver Bay
and the Maz Bay – will transport
fisheries officers as they perform
routine and surprise site inspec-
tions and enforce aquaculture
regulations.The minister said, “As the
majority of aquaculture opera-
tions are located along the coast
of Vancouver Island and in the
mainland inlets and most are
inaccessible by car, ensuring DFO
staff are able to move freely on

Stopped by the Police - Whatdo I do Now?
We live in a wonderful country where
violence is still something relatively rare.
If we are stopped by the police we tend not
to worry and dig out our driver’s license and
vehicle registration wherever it might be in the
vehicle. Some people even get out and walk
back to the police car to see what is going on.
These actions are meant to be polite and save
time but today are not the right thing to do.
The police perspective is a diffi cult one.
Offi cers realize that people mean well, and
that almost always these actions are not
threatening. On the other hand, police stop
people every day in British Columbia that have
signifi cant criminal records and may present a
very real threat. These circumstances are not
known in advance and each vehicle stop must
be approached with care to avoid violence, but
not upset those who are honest, well meaning
people.
You can play a big part in making every
vehicle stop a safe experience. Stop promptly
and instruct everyone in your vehicle to sit still
and be quiet. Keep your hands in clear view. If
it is dark, turn on your interior light. Wait for
the offi cer to approach and explain why you
have been stopped, then follow his requests.
Stay in your vehicle and continue to be still
and quiet until the stop is concluded. In short,
don’t do anything that might be mistaken as a
possible threat.
If your fi rst reaction is that this column
sounds ridiculous, I would like to agree with
you, but times are changing. The problem today
is that offi cers cannot immediately determine
who is and isn’t a threat, and for their own
safety must consider all the potentials and be
prepared to deal with them.
The author is a retired constable with
many years of traffi c enforcement experience.

Fresh off a four win weekend the Marine Harvest Mosquito AAA Tyees entered game action Sunday hoping to continue the streak in Comox vs the Comox AAA Tier II Cardinals and the Duncan AAA Tier I Redsox.
In Game one against Comox perhaps the Tyees were look-ing past the lower tiered Comox team to the second match vs rivals Duncan as they started slow and could not produce any offence against a younger, less experi-enced team. On the flip side, Comox arrived ready and motivated to beat a Tyee team that had taken two earlier matches. Over six solid innings the Cardinals continued to add a few runs and played exceptional defence whenever the Tyee bats seemed r e a dy t o b r e a k -through. With their last at bat in the sixth inning, the Tyees seemed to be getting some momentum, but once again Comox was near flawless in the field, ending the Tyee hopes and beat-ing them 6-3. Despite a first inning error, Comox was flawless in the field over six well played innings and charged off the field after the final out to a very well deserved win.
As game two got under way it seemed the Tyee’s struggles at the plate would
continue as Duncan slowly built up a 3-0 lead over the first three innings. Cole Devlin led off the fourth inning with a ground ball that skipped past the
shortstop, followed by a hard groundball by Nathan Lagos that took a Tyee bounce by the Duncan second baseman. Brayden McClary followed with a line-drive
double down the right field line and the Tyees were on the board with Devlin scoring from second. After a Brodie Com-merford walk, Con-nor Hall cleared the
bases as the Tyees reached their four run limit for the inning. In the top of the fifth, with Hall on the hill, despite issuing a few walks, he was able to hold the Duncan team to one run aided by the Tyee defence.
In the bottom of the fifth, the Tyees struck again as the Duncan pitching struggled, issuing walks to Derek McPhee, Jamie Inger-soll, Bryn Girvin and Dayton Ring. A pair of doubles by Nico Matheson and Tyler Downey put the Tyees at four runs again, giving them an 8-4 lead.
After a pair of open-ing walks to start the sixth, the Tyees surrendered one run before pitcher Com-merford settled in and retired the next three batters on two infield groundouts and capped by a game ending strikeout lead-ing to an 8-5 final. The win was positive after a disappointing start to the day.
This weekend the Tyees host Victoria AAA Tier 1 for two games on Saturday beginning at 11:45 a.m. followed by another double-header vs Duncan on Sunday beginning at 11:45 a.m. All games will be at the Nunns Creek Mosquito field. Come cheer on the Tyees as next week they move onto the Island Zones in Victoria. These will be the last home games of the year.

After 150 laps, eight cautions, and some of the best racing ever displayed at Saratoga Speedway, #07 Wade Bland who was racing at Saratoga Speedway for the first time came out victorious in the Thrifty Foods 150 lap race.
The Bomber cars, Dwarf cars and the I.M.C.A Modifieds also put on some good racing on Saturday.
In the Modified divi-sion, #00 Bart Smith who was also racing in the Late Model divi-sion, dominated five other Modifieds in the 20 lap feature, leading every lap to win his fourth main event of the year.
Twelve Dwarf cars took to the track for the 20 lap feature main event.
#44 Bob Greenaway led for the first four laps until #34 Ike Armitage passed him in turn four to take the lead and he would never look back from there winning his sec-ond main event of the year.
#33 Brian Baltis had his best night of the year in the Bomber car division. Baltis won the only heat, and led all 20 laps to win his first main event of the season.
In the Late Model division, #16 Rory Smith won the B heat, with the A heat going
to #45 Aaron Wilkie. Smith started pole for the 150 lap main event. Smith held the lead for the first five laps, until #88 Tyler Clough over took the lead on the front stretch. Clough led for 25 laps, but Smith would briefly re-take his lead for six laps. On lap 39, #86 Tom Berrow found his way around Smith to take the lead. Seven cautions would take place over the next 50 laps, causing the field to shrink to 11 cars.
Berrow was domi-nating the field, leading for 105 laps and it looked like no one could catch him; but on lap 144, Bland found himself on Berrow’s bumper. Lap cars would play a huge factor on lap 145; Berrow risked it and went high around the lap cars and got boxed in, giving Bland the lead and he would never look back from there, winning the Thrifty Foods 150.
Berrow would fin-ish in second.
Berrow won the first place money prize though, finishing the night with the most overall points.
Extra laps...Next weekend marks the return of the Crash to Pass cars, Roadrun-ners and the Hornet cars after two weeks off.

Lickety-split merlins catch prey in mid-flightOne of my favourite
members of the falcon family is the “magical merlin.”
A e ro dy n a m i c a l ly designed for speed, the merlin is second only to the peregrine falcon cruising at speeds in excess of 70 kilometers per hour.
Also known as the pigeon h aw k , t h i s name not only implies their p a r t i a l i t y to dining on pigeons, but also reflects the similarity in the air to the flight pattern of a pigeon with rapid wing beats and lengthy swoops.
In olden times mer-lins were popular fal-conry birds particu-larly suited to ladies of nobility as they were easy for them to manage.
In British Columbia merlins are migra-tory birds coming in the late spring and summer; they pre-fer coniferous forests but are also found by lakes and ponds and
along the shorelines. They are also becom-ing more common in urban areas as they have adapted to back-yard feeders that pro-vide them with “easy pickings.”
Comparable in size to the Stellar jay the male
merlin has a slaty-blue/g r ay c a p and wings, and a rufous c o l o u r e d b r e a s t with dark s t r e a k s , f e m a l e s are mainly dark brown. In keeping
with the falcon fam-ily merlins have sleek muscular bodies with pointed wings and long barred tails.
A n o t h e r u n i q u e feature shared by fal-cons is their specially adapted nostrils which are equipped with pea-like baffles that reduce the impact of air rush-ing into the nasal cav-ity during high speed flight.
These little falcons are extremely active and vocal especially
during the nesting sea-son emitting a pierc-ing “kee-kee-kee as they fiercely defend their territory. Merlins spend little time perch-ing as they capture their prey mid-air com-ing to perch to devour their food.
Once prey is spotted, the merlin will relent-lessly chase the prey literally knocking it out of the sky with for-midable talons; due to their power and speed they are able to attack a bird the same size as themselves.
Although birds are their main food source they will also dine on large dragonflies, insects and moths and the occasional rodent. Unlike most raptors merlins do not mate for
life nor do they build their own nests prefer-ring to reuse old crow or raven nests and will also use cavities in trees or cliffs.
Although merlins produce 2-5 eggs usu-ally only two will survive to adulthood, survival is often cut short by predation from crows, ravens and
eagles as they often choose nests that are in close proximity to eagles’ nests.
The choice of nest for one merlin family in Campbell River proved to be dangerous for the chicks as the eagles did attempt to snatch an easy meal and the chicks were found under the tree. A simi-
lar situation also hap-pened in Courtenay ending up with three chicks coming to the Mountainaire Avian Rescue Society (MARS) in Merville.
It has been several years since MARS rescued multiple mer-lins and it seems that the increase of urban expansion is pushing them into more pre-carious nesting areas along with many other wildlife species.
Small falcons and hawks are difficult patients to rehab in captivity, especially the young as they need live prey to chase and cap-ture, a skill that needs to be passed on from the parents.
The merlins, together with the osprey that was attacked in April, have been transferred to OWL in Ladner where they have foster parents and large flight pens to condition the birds ready for their hopeful return and release in the Comox Valley.
A sad update to report: The tiny great blue heron lost its
struggle for survival. It really was an uphill battle for such a small specimen, but hope-fully we gained valu-able experience in the rehabilitation of any future cases.
On a final note, MARS is sending out a seal pup alert. These marine mammals are now giving birth to their pups and already we have admitted “kid-napped” babies.
Please remember that mother seals will beach their pups to go off hunting returning on the high tide so DO NOT PICK UP PUPS. If in any doubt please call MARS emergency line at 1-800-304-9968 for advice before inter-vening, keep dogs and people away from the pups.
A huge thank you to all the teachers and students who sup-ported MARS educa-tional programs over the last school year, I look forward to see-ing you all again in the coming year.
