Campbell River voters will have a choice in the next municipal elec-tion: on whether you like “slate” politics or not.
For the first time, a group of can-didates have come forward to run for city council under the same
banner.“We all get along. We agree on a
positive vision for Campbell River, and we have a strategy for resolving the main issues we see facing our city,” according to a press release announcing the slate of five candi-dates running under the name of CHOICE.
Bob Bray, former BC Conserva-
tive candidate for the 2013 provin-cial election, David Christian, Josh Krynen, Marcia McKay and Jim Parnell make up the CHOICE slate.
“We offer a common sense approach that intends to be practical and careful,” Marcia McKay, speak-ing on behalf of CHOICE, told the Mirror. “We believe in living within our means and that transparency is
the key.”McKay said that none of the five
knew each other in May but over the summer have learned that they agree on several issues and the approach that should be taken to address those issues.
On the current city council, McKay said, “We suspect that the

A familiar face is returning to municipal politics in Campbell River.
Former mayor and city council-lor Charlie Cornfield announced Wednesday he is running for mayor.
“It was the worst kept secret in town,” Cornfield said about his much-rumoured announcement.
Cornfield served one term as Mayor of Campbell River from 2009-2011 and nine years prior to that as a city councillor.
“I am concerned about the future of our city,” Cornfield said. “That’s the big one.
“We’ve got lots of potential. We need to responsibly manage growth.”
Cornfield said he is proud of his record and the councils he was on.
“We didn’t borrow a nickel and we paid down our debt,” Cornfield said.
But Cornfield is concerned about a lack of action taken over the last three years. We’re seeing the benefit

The Yukon is GMC Yukon territory
It’s hard to believe but GMC has never held
a vehicle launch for the Yukon full-sized
SUV in the Yukon Territory, until now.
Media from across Canada landed in
Whitehorse and travelled around the
territory recently in the all-new 2015 GMC
Yukon model, ending up in the famous gold
rush time capsule of Dawson City. From the
wooden sidewalks to the gravel covered
streets, this preserved part of history looks
and feels much the way it would when gold
was first discovered in 1896. The Yukon is
also a great test for this big truck because
of the immense stretches of unpopulated
roads with smooth sections, potholes and
loose gravel. The Yukon has it all, including
spectacular vistas, wide-open space and
spectacular scenery. Spending three days
behind the wheel made me realize what
a good job GMC has done with this truck,
from fuel economy to creature comforts.
LooksLast year, GM introduced the Chevrolet Silverado and
GMC Sierra full-size pickup trucks. In fact, the Silver-
ado won the North American Truck of the Year and
the GMC Sierra won the AJAC truck of the year. With
a solid basis, the engineers then went about building
the full-sized SUVs based on the truck chassis. They
include the Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, the GMC
Yukon and Denali, plus the Cadillac Escalade. These
represent a huge profit centre for General Motors and
they needed to get them right. The GMC Yukon is the
most popular of the bunch with one-in-three full-sized
SUV buyers choosing the Yukon, which is opposite
to the United States where the Chevrolet trucks
dominate. The top Yukon Denali model traditionally
represents about 35 per cent of all Yukon sales but
in the first few months of sales, it has captured more
than 60 per cent.
Inside The long wheelbase model is an im-
posing truck and a favourite of large
families that need the third row of
seating, plus a functional cargo area.
The more popular short wheelbase
offers a lot of room as well but when
the third row of seats is employed
the cargo area is diminished. On
all but the base model, the second
and third row of seats can be folded
and store electronically. The Denali
is exceptionally well equipped and
shows great attention to detail, with
the aluminum trim around the radio
and heat controls, leather seating
with French stitching. What the GMC
Yukon offers over the Cadillac cousin
is a simpler dashboard layout with
traditional rotary knobs and buttons,
whereas the Cadillac has moved to touch sensitive
panels that take time to master.
DriveThe Yukon is offered with two engine choices, the
5.3L 355hp V8 in the base SLE and middle SLT Yukon
models and the 6.2L V8 in the Denali. This 6.2L engine
is also used in the Escalade. There are several reasons
to consider the Denali over the base 5.3L engine.
The first is the inclusion of the magnetic ride control
system that is also available in the Escalade. This sys-
tem adapts the suspension up to 100 times per second
and performed well on a variety of road surfaces in
the Yukon. The second is a noise cancelling system
that pumps sound waves through the Denali’s stereo
system to help eliminate unwanted road and engine
noise. The third reason is the mighty 6.2L engine with
420hp and 460 lb.-ft. of torque. Because this engine
and the 5.3L have direct injection, variable value tim-
ing and most importantly, cylinder management, the
V8 can switch off half of the eight cylinders and lean
off the fuel mixture to reduce fuel consumption.
With more than 1,000 km driven at a range of speeds,
the real world consumption was 12L/100 km, close to
the 11.4L/100 km official highway rating with the 6.2L
engine. All the current Yukon models are equipped
with a 6-speed automatic but the 6.2L engines will get
an 8-speed this fall, with the 5.3L following next year.
AWD is standard on all but the base model and these
trucks can tow up to 3856 kg.
Verdict
The Yukon is winner on all trim levels. I could find no
fault but it is pricey. Starting at $51,800 for the SLE
or $60,960 for the SLT and $75,540 for the Denali,
this isn’t a cheap prospect. However, the Denali offers
most of the same features as the more expensive
Cadillac Escalade but is more use-friendly and less
expensive.

It’s not often that a Campbell River business gets to debut a national corporate redesign but that’s what Scott Kilby’s new Campbell River Hyundai building will do.
The automobile com-pany’s Canadian arm is launching a new look for its dealerships across the country just when Campbell River Hyundai is building a new store in a new location in North Campbell River.
That means Campbell River Hyundai will be in the first wave of dealer-ships to sport the new corporate image.
“I am going to be one of the first stores in Can-ada and the first in B.C. to have that look,” Kilby said.
The fortunate set of cir-cumstances even earned Campbell River Hyundai a mention in a write up in a national automo-bile magazine, Cana-dian Auto World, in its September 2014 edition entitled “Hyundai’s strik-ing new image program turning heads.”
“Construction has already begun on Scott Kilby’s store in tiny Campbell River, B.C. –
scheduled to be one of the first to sport the new image,” writer Jackson Hayes says in Canadian Auto World.
Hyundai’s Global Deal-ership Image Space iden-tity program features the most striking visual departure in recent memory, Canadian Auto World says.
The current blue colour scheme will be replaced with bronze in an effort to distinguish itself from all the other auto deal-erships. With red and blue predominating in the automobile industry, Hyundai wanted to back away from using primary colours to attract atten-tion. Instead, according to Canadian Auto World, Hyundai wanted custom-ers to think of the cars first when they thought of the company and not a corporate colour scheme. So they picked a premium look and feel that would let them stand apart. The new design will utilize metallic and earth tones. The pro-gram also incorporates new technologies in the retail operations.
In the process of designing his new deal-ership location, Kilby was contacted by Hyun-dai head office and given the option of incorporat-
ing the new look. “They said, ‘You can
stay with Hyundai blue (the current colour scheme) or you can be a leader in the industry and change and we’ll work with you,’” Kilby said.
It took a lot of back and forth between Kilby and his partner Garry Thulin’s architect and Hyundai’s architect,
Kilby said, but through a concerted team effort, the new image scheme is being incorporated into the new building at its Highway 19 and Mer-edith Road location in North Campbell River. Campbell River Hyun-dai is currently located just a couple of blocks away on Coulter Road, a block east of Highway 19 in North Campbell River.

A vehicle torching threatened to ignite a for-est fire this week.
On Wednesday at 7 a.m., Campbell River RCMP responded to a complaint of an arson to property out on the Elk River Main at the 11 km marker.
An Hitachi excavator belonging to a company working on a bridge was torched and a second Cat excavator was tampered with. The Hitachi has significant damage and is a loss to the company.
“The trees around the Hitachi were burned and thankfully didn’t cause a forest fire in the still dry conditions,” Const. Poppy Hallam.
Campbell River RCMP Forensic Identification Section and the arson investigator attended and processed the scene collecting evidence for analysis.
If you have any infor-mation about this crime, please contact the Camp-bell River RCMP at 250-286-6221 or if you wish to remain anony-mous, please contact Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Candidates are coming forward for our consideration.In some ways, the race is already on, leading up to the
municipal election Nov. 15. On that date, Campbell River
residents will be entrusted to elect a mayor, city councillors and school trustees who will represent us for the next four years.
Some people have indicated their intentions; many have yet to go public.
Candidates can’t formally declare until the end of the month, Sept. 30 at 9 a.m. and they have another 10
days after that (Oct. 10) before the deadline to hand in nomination packages.
We hope, most of all, that there will be strong candidates, but we hope also that there will be a variety of candidates.
At the moment, two of Campbell River’s seven city council members are women, six out of 13 on the Strathcona Regional District board, and five out of seven on the Campbell River and area School District 72 board.
Beyond gender, there can be a place at the council table for candidates of any age, ethnic background, sexual orientation, social standing or political leaning.
Rather than categorize and divide us, these diversities can create a broader perspective.
Compromise and co-operation are a part of democracy.Of course we realize that counting councillors by
gender – or any classification – is an oversimplification. Candidates will be judged on their merit, their
character, their priorities and promises, their strength and smarts, their motivation, their intentions.
We hope that this fall, voters will have the chance to elect just the sort of representatives we’re looking for, both men and women.

Civic elections need diversityOur ViewOur View
It’s okay rain, don’t listen to naysayers, I love you
We say: Diversity creates a broader perspective in our political system
When the rain started last week, there were cries of, “Nooooooooo! I’m not ready for summer to be over!”
There were a few, much quieter voices who said the opposite, but I have a feel-ing that in a few months, when it rains more often than it doesn’t (or seems that way, anyway), most of the latter will be gone, and people will generally be all gloomy about it.
Don’t take it personally, rain. It’s not their fault. They just don’t know you like I do.
Like anything, rain gets annoying when it’s just a constant in your life.
But think about all the constants in your life and how unhappy you would be without them [cue hopefully-light-
hearted joke about spouse/kids].Better yet, picture a winter full of kick-
ing through snowdrifts to get your mail and icicles forming on your eyelids from the driving wind freezing the condensa-tion of your breath to your face.
Picture having to listen to the radio in the morning to see if you’re allowed to go outside or if you’ll die if you do.
I’ve lived in that. More than once. For many years.
It’s more than unpleasant. A constant drizzle of rain does noth-
ing but make me question if I want to go golfing as often as I do in the middle of summer.
That’s it.I suppose it causes the roads to be a
little more slippery. Just slow down. It’s good for. You to
stop being in such a big hurry all the time, anyway.
Alright, so I guess, “It’s so much worse in other places,” isn’t a very good reason to be okay with something.
Well, how about this: Rain is life.We live in what could be considered
(and most of us agree is) the most beau-tiful place in one of the best countries in the world.
How do you suppose it got that way?The beauty and lifestyle we enjoy here
is a direct result of the rain that annoys us.
It causes the growth of the forests we hike in and it causes the streams we fish
in to flow down from the mountains we love looking at.
It’s the cause of all the reasons we love this place.
And it’s warm. I know, I did the temperature thing
already, but seriously, is there anything better than walking around in a rain that doesn’t chill you to the bone, face turned up to the sky, letting it run off your face and into the earth below?
A cleansing shower from nature. Rebirth. Growth.Next time it starts raining I’m going
outside to appreciate it. I hope I see a few of you out there
doing the same.
Take your three kids (or nieces, nephews, grandkids) and times that by 10 and you have the class size of an average classroom in B.C. At least one of those kids is being bullied, probably two or more are struggling with English as a sec-ond language, three is the allowable ‘numbered’ kids, four are not at grade level and should be ‘numbered’ and five are really eager learners. Throw in a couple that have A: come to school sick; B: a few more that haven’t had enough sleep or any breakfast; and C: maybe some with only a struggling and or depressed parent. This is why the teachers are on strike.
The classes are too large. Kids deserve better. Teachers I applaud you!

vvvvTo all the members of the BC Liberal Party:The courts have ruled twice that the government illegally
stripped funding that helped to ensure that class size and class composition was manageable. The number of special needs students that are not getting the help they need in the general education classroom is way too high, which directly impacts the learning conditions of all students in the class. The government needs to increase funding to the schools in order to ensure that class composition is manageable and that the needs of all the students in the classroom can be met.

of work done by previous councils, like on what he calls the “major projects” – the John Hart Dam upgrade and the new Campbell River hospital.
“It took a lot of work over a long period of time to bring the major projects online,” Corn-field said, “benefits (from which) we are receiving now.”
This past council has not kept that momen-tum going; not focusing enough on the future.
“I haven’t seen them work on anything for five-to-seven years down the road,” Cornfield said.
Campbell River has to find new sources of annual revenue, not more taxation to move the city forward, he said. Our ability to accomplish that is affected by the current strife on council.
“To do that, you have got to have a council that is really cohesive,” he said. “You can have your differences but it is important that every-body is on the same page.”
The strife that has
marked the current council affects the city’s ability to compete out-side the community as well.
“They want to know that all of council is onside, that the commu-nity is onside,” he said.
The mayor and coun-cillors are there to rep-resent all of the commu-nity. Cornfield is a firm believer that the mayor and council is elected to follow the will of the people. The challenge for council is to know what the community wants and needs and where it is going. One of the jobs of mayor is to build a team of council and city staff that is directed by the citizens through mean-ingful public involve-ment and participation.
“It is about working together (knowing) how to disagree respectfully and move forward,” Cornfield said. “I have no hidden agendas, no personal pet projects. It is about developing a strategic plan that all can support and working together for the benefit of the community as a whole.”
The mayor’s role is an important one, Corn-field said. The public sees the mayor attend-ing functions, dealing with the public, speaking on behalf of the city and council, dealing with the media, chairing council meetings and fielding concerns and complaints.
The mayor also has to work with council and city staff to ensure they function as a team and know what is expected of each other. The mayor also has to provide clear strategic direction to staff so that they know what council and the public expect.
The other, less visible aspect of the mayor’s job
is as an ambassador, usu-ally away from the city dealing with federal and provincial governments, industry and business. The mayor promotes the city. Even when he is working on various boards and committees, his presence and actions give the city a profile. Cornfield also said that opinions are formed about the city via the actions of the mayor in his ambassadorial role.
Cornfield said he knows what is required from the mayor and knows how to accom-plish it. His campaign is based on a “triple bottom line” - environmental, economic and social.
Cornfield is ready for the challenge.
“I have had three years off,” Cornfield said.
That three years gave him a chance to recon-nect with people, he said, and provided the oppor-tunity to reflect on his previous time as mayor.
He said he has regrets and can see how he could do things differently but he is also proud of his record. He has been encouraged by the num-
ber of people who have urged him to step into the ring.

Plans for a residential housing complex on the corner of Alder Street and Niluht Road are officially approved by council.
Council, at last week’s Tuesday meeting, signed off on a rezoning to accommodate a new development that will partly border the new École Mer-et-montagne French school.
The re-zoning will
allow the developer to build a strata complex of single family residential homes on the .71 hectare lot.
Plans call for 14 strata units, primarily geared towards the older demo-graphic.
The average size of the homes is expected to be 1,500 square feet.
Steve Lindsay told council at its July 22 meeting that he intends
to stagger the units.“We want to create a
series of houses that take advantage of the views,” Lindsay said.
As part of the devel-opment, Lindsay has entered into an agree-ment with B.C.’s Conseil scolaire francophone to remove a cement walk-way that connects Niluht to the school and runs through his property.
The walkway in the
past has been used as an access point to the school’s field and play-ground.
But under the agree-ment, the francophone association has agreed to allow Lindsay to remove the walkway.
City staff support the development because it meets the objectives and criteria laid out in the city’s sustainable official community plan (OCP).

McKay said that slate politics is an effective way of moving forward. It works in other munici-palities.
CHOICE sees f ive issues as the main ones facing the city:n Drive economic
development.n Enhance social pro-
grams for seniors, youth, and the homeless.n Streamline bureau-
cratic processes.n Plan thoroughly;
reduce taxes whi le improving services.n Tackle parking, traf-
fic flow, and City appear-ance.
The candidates biog-raphies were included in their announced candi-dacy:
“Bob Bray, MBA, has an extensive manage-ment history. He was a senior manager with a large motorcycle retailer in Vancouver, and has worked as Director of Finance for an Immi-grant Services Society, as well as Assistant Admin-istrator for the Arthritis Society. He was a senior manager of UBC’s physi-cal plant, responsible for buildings, grounds, and utilities. Bray was later Director of Administra-
tion at the UBC Faculty of Medicine.
“Bray will approach the deliberations of coun-cil with a non-partisan spirit and with a consen-sus-seeking attitude. He will work patiently and respectfully to ensure that good management practices benefit Camp-bell River residents, tourists, and visitors. He wants city council to strongly support com-munity agencies.
“D av i d C h r i s t i an moved to Campbell River at the age of three, and operates a commercial fishing business as well as a boat repair facility. He also serves as Presi-dent of the Campbell River Harbour Author-ity. Christian is involved with Small Craft Har-bours nationally. While the Harbour Authority is non-profit, he finds that the organization has the same issues as the city, only on a smaller scale.
“He is familiar with budgets, capital spend-ing, human resources, legal issues, working with other levels of gov-ernment, and managing revenues through spend-ing within one’s means. Christ ian has l ived through the restructur-ing of a resource-based economy and under-stands the importance
of diversity, recognizing strengths and opportuni-ties, and the importance of sound financial plan-ning.
“Jos Krynen (pro-nounced Yosh) left a thriving business as a denturist in the Neth-erlands and moved to Campbell River. He and his wife run Eagle Eye Adventures. Krynen is president of Krynen Holdings Ltd, and he serves on the board of St. John Ambulance. Krynen has a diploma in Marine Biology.
“Krynen listens to peo-ple and believes that get-ting some good common sense into city council decisions would help the city grow the right way now and in the future. Krynen wants more openness, clear goals that make sense, and an open and transparent city hall. He believes in investing in infrastruc-ture, not something that looks good and costs lots of money. Krynen is for-ward looking, and wants Campbell River to be a place that you never want to leave.
“Marcia McKay has lived and worked across Canada, and chose Campbell River for her retirement. Since arriv-ing she has served on the boards of the Tidemark,
ElderCollege, and New-comers. She is a Willow Point Lion, is on the board of Shoreline Arts, and volunteers with the RCMP’s Restorative Jus-tice Program. When she retired from the federal government, she was Regional Director for Industry Canada for BC/Yukon.
“Adept at administra-tive law, finance, pur-chasing, and contracting, McKay knows we can be more efficient, more effective, and more eco-nomical in our decisions at city hall. She believes in cost-benefit analysis, return on investment, and getting it right the first time.
“Jim Parnell and his family are currently fos-tering four children. He is an underground miner at Quinsam Coal and also serves as the Presi-dent of USW Local 9347.
“As a councillor and taxpayer, Parnell wants to see Campbell River return to being a des-tination, the way he remembers it. He sees this election as a new beginning – an opportu-nity for Campbell River voters to choose a coun-cil and a mayor who are eager for transparency, fiscal responsibility, and approaching each issue with practicality.”

The city’s unionized CUPE workers have served 72 hour strike notice.
C o n t r a c t t a l k s between the city of Campbell River and its CUPE (Canadian Union of Public Employees) workers broke down earlier this week and on Tuesday, the union put the city on notice.
The two sides had appeared to be close to a deal and the city is now requesting the Labour Relations Board engage unionized employees in a vote on the city’s latest offer.
“We have come to a tentative agreement on almost all items except wage adjustments and the term of the agree-ment,” said City Man-ager Andy Laidlaw in a news release. “Given that the collective bar-gaining process has brought us so close to an agreement, even in respect to term and wage adjustments, we wanted to share the city’s last offer directly with employees affected.”
T h e c i t y ’s o f fe r includes increases of
two per cent in 2014, 1.5 per cent in 2015, 1.5 per cent in 2016 and two per cent in 2017 for a total of seven per cent over four years.
The first increase would be retroactive to January 1, 2014.
But Blaine Gurrie, president of CUPE Local 401, said the city is trying to dodge the bargaining process by forcing a vote.
“The place for nego-tiations is at the nego-tiating table and we feel strongly that this move will only further erode the respect we have been trying to build within the city,” Gurrie said in a release. “We expect to initiate a ban on overtime work, but we aren’t ruling out a full blown city-wide walkout to press for a negotiated settlement.
The last thing we want to do is interrupt city services, but the city’s action has left us with no other choice.”
The city has asked the Labour Relations Board to arrange a last offer employee vote, with vot-ing details and timing still to be determined.
“The timing of the vote is determined by Employment Standards, and we are hopeful that CUPE employees will be able to vote on a new agreement within the next week or so,” said Ron Bowles, the city’s general manager of cor-porate services.
Campbell River CUPE city staff have been without a contract since Dec. 31, 2013.
In the last round of bargaining, CUPE accepted a five per cent wage increase over
four years that totalled $ 4 1 3 , 7 5 0 for 1 8 8 employees – 118 full-time, 30 part-time and 40 auxiliary.
While CUPE workers voted 88.3 per cent in favour of strike action during that round of bargaining, strike notice was never filed.
That’s not the case this year.
Gurrie said as part of the last contract, CUPE agreed to a zero per cent wage increase in the first year on the understand-ing that wages would be adjusted once the city was out of its financial difficulties.
He said now that the city has run successive surpluses, the union is asking for a two per cent increase per year which would be in line with settlements in neigh-bouring Vancouver
Island communities and well below the Canadian average annual wage increase of three per cent. Gurrie said a two per cent increase would keep pace with inflation and anything less would equate to a cut in wages.

The Campbell River Italian Cultural Society recently hosted a spa-ghetti feast in support of the Campbell River Hospital.
Donations from the dinner went to the Campbell River Hospital Foundation towards the purchase of two Holter Monitors for the Electro-diagnostics Department.
A Holter monitor is a portable device for con-tinuously monitoring various electrical activity of the cardiovascular sys-tem for at least 24 hours.
The Holter monitor
records electrical sig-nals from the heart via a series of electrodes attached to the chest.
These electrodes are connected to a small piece of equipment that is attached to the patient’s belt or hung around the neck, and is responsible for keeping a log of the heart’s electrical activity throughout the record-ing period.
For 19 years the Camp-bell River Italian Cultural Society has hosted an amazingly fun and deli-cious family picnic at Miracle Beach Provin-
cial Park, complete with homemade sausages and spaghetti, raising more than $18,000 in support of quality health care for Campbell River and North Vancouver Island.
Anyone who would like to support the doc-tors, nurses and other key members of the local healthcare team, and support first-class healthcare at Campbell River Hospital, can make a donation to the Hospi-tal Foundation online at www.crhospitalfoudna-tion.ca or by calling 250-850-2418.

Two exhibitions created by regional artists
will open at the Camp-bell River Art Gallery on Sept. 18.
The community is invited to meet the art-ists and celebrate the opening of two new exhibitions at the Camp-bell River Art Gallery, Thursday, Sept. 18 at 7 p.m.
Passages and Trans-formations, by Quadra Island interdisciplinary artist John Schevers, will be featured in the Main Gallery space with a new installation.
The exhibition, spon-sored by Nick and Liz Stoneberger, is a sym-bolic visual and expe-riential narrative about the cycle of life and the interconnectedness of all things.
Schevers pushes the boundaries of his materials, always experi-menting to add more texture and depth to his work.
Dreaming the Earth, is a collaborative exhibi-tion by Cortes Island mixed-media artist, Lisa Gibbons and Comox sculpture artist Donna Naven.
Featured in the Dis-
covery Gallery, their work reflects the inspi-ration they find in the living earth. Gibbons’ paintings are layered in process and material, further expressing the subtle balance found in nature. Naven’s stone sculptures call to Neo-
lithic stone goddess fig-ures, while overlaying a contemporary narrative.
Everyone is welcome to attend the Thursday, Sept. 18 reception to meet Schevers, Gibbons and Naven. The exhibi-tions will remain at the Gallery until Friday,
Oct. 31.Fall hours at the Gal-
lery are Tuesday to Saturday from 12-5 p.m. For more information, please call 250-287-2261 or email [email protected] or visit our website www.crartgal-lery.ca.

Untold numbers of shorebirds migrate to
Pacific Northwest coast-lines for all or part of the year.
Great navigators, they are astonishing crea-tures, capable of superb feats of endurance. However, their numbers are declining, largely due to habitat loss and human disturbance.
We marvel at the black oystercatcher’s comical long red bill, the towering limbs of the yellowlegs, the beauty of the dowitchers and dunlins, scores of plo-vers and sandpipers, and
the rarity of red knots. Now, a new worldwide event aims to increase awareness and help conserve these precious species.
The first annual World Shorebirds’ Day takes place on Sat-urday. The event invites people around the world to celebrate and count shorebirds.
Counting and moni-toring bird populations helps scientists to estab-lish baselines and plan
action for long-term recovery.
On Vancouver Island, it’s very easy to find a shore and sit a while, binoculars in hand, noting the different species that make our shores their home. Count-ing takes place from Saturday at noon until
midnight Sunday. As well, all across the globe, wildlife artists will set up at their favourite shore to sketch these beautiful shorebirds.
Individuals, families and groups may take part in this no-cost event, and may register online to win prizes. Visit the official World Shorebirds’ Day website for more information: https://worldshorebirds-day.wordpress.com
Shorebird migration knits the world together, bringing realization of how interdependent we all are.
Take time this week-end to appreciate these wonderful bird migra-tors.

On one side of the scale, we have baby boom-ers approaching the end of their working lives, with lots of free time and few commitments. On the other side, we have a younger gen-eration, too busy trying to stay afloat to be able to devote a lot of time to their children. Intergenerational cooperation is one obvious solution to this problem that is so typical of our times.Helping each other out has many advantag-es. For young people, spending time with seniors can bring a feeling of reassurance and comfort. They can learn more about where they come from, which can help them better discern which direction to take in life. For the baby boomers, this is the ideal occasion to pass on a rich and diverse heritage and to feel useful and young at heart.
Here are a few suggestions for intergenera-tional projects that benefit both young and old folks. They might already exist in your community, and if they don’t, you could start a new project yourself. Community gardens: teach the younger gen-eration how to grow vegetables and they’ll help you with the weeding.Help with homework: many ex-teachers see this as an opportunity to renew ties with their vocation on a part-time basis.Read stories to children: reading aloud is proven to build brain power in children, and it will bring you into contact with some very interesting young personalities! Arts and crafts workshops: help children discover their creativity all while explo ring your own. Their pride in their work is sure to inspire you. Invite your grandchildren or some young friends to your home for some intergener-ational activities: prepare a meal together, build a bird house, or play board games. Per -haps, in return, these youngsters will show you how to use the In ternet or plug into a social network.
Intergenerational cooperation in every way
Spending time with the younger generation is a great opportunity to pass on their rich and diverse heritage.
We all age a little bit every day and like it or not, we can’t do anything about it. How ever, several lifestyle choices can help to slow down the effects of ageing. Here are ten examples:
1. Stop smoking: cigarettes reduce a smo ker’s life expectancy by about four years, not to mention the ageing effects on skin, hair, and teeth.
2. Get sufficient sleep: aim to sleep eight hours a day. Not getting enough sleep is harmful to the skin and can cause unhealthy weight gain and a grim outlook.
3. Use your memory: don’t forget that the brain is a muscle. Give it some exercise with word games, puzzles, and stimulating discussion and readings.
4. Stay active: it’s proven that exercising for 30 minutes a day improves health. Do it every day, if possible.
5. Fill up on antioxidants: colourful fruits and vegetables are full of these compounds that protect the body’s cells and help boost the immune system.
6. Reduce your sugar intake: sugars promote weight gain and accelerate the ageing of the skin. There is also some evidence that they compromise the immune system.
7. Increase your calcium intake: calcium is essential for healthy skin and bones.
8. Manage your stress: stress makes you look older, so aim for a balanced lifestyle through yoga, meditation, exercise, and rest.
9. Protect yourself from the sun: sun is the most important factor in ageing skin and one of the main causes of skin cancer.
10. Drink a lot: good hydration is vital for the body’s organs and for healthy looking skin.

This coming Sept. 11 at the Royal Coachman Carriage House, anyone interested in helping the people of Africa can learn more about another way to do just that.
For a $25 donation to The African Traveling Suitcase, an organization
providing supplies to orphanages in Malawi, Kenya and Tanzania, participants will have the opportunity to enjoy traditional Malawian food prepared by chef Max Libala (who will also be performing the Malawian music) and bid on any of 19 empty suitcases.
Those suitcases each
represent one orphan in the orphanage to which Yvonne Pelletier-Paul and her voluntourism group are travelling in October, and will be filled with supplies tai-lored for each child, either by the winning bidder, or by volunteers with the Travelling Suit-case organization.
“In my experience,”
said Pelletier-Paul, who has been running tours and safaris in Africa for years, “people want to do more than just see the country they’re travel-ing to. They want to give back whenever they can, for having the opportu-nity to see it.”
Pelletier-Paul said she’s also hoping that 19 peo-ple also sign up for the
Malawi tour (they don’t have to be the successful bidders on the suitcases) to deliver the now-full luggage to the Chikondi orphanage in Malawi.
For more informa-tion on the fundraiser, to purchase tickets, or the Malawi tour itself, contact Pelletier-Paul at 250-204-3332 or Arlene Lihala at 250-204-3612.

Well it is hard to believe that another year has gone by, and here we are again, Paws for a Cause ti me.
Paws for a Cause is the BCSPCA’s largest fundraiser of the year and province wide generates close to 1 million dollars for abandoned, abused, and neglected animals that come into the care of our organizati on. Our goal in Campbell River this year is to raise $10,000 and we hope that members of our community will come out and walk with us to fi ght animal cruelty. Parti cipants can register online at spca.bc.ca/walk and help us fundraise for this amazing event. Our event this year will have a bouncer, which is sponsored by Campbell River Pet Centre, a face painter, games, acti viti es, and of course prizes. Marine Harvest will be hosti ng their famous Salmon BBQ for a minimum donati on of $5, and they will match all donati ons generated from the BBQ! Dog Days photography is joining us again this year and will be taking photos for a minimum $5 donati on. We will also have three contests for dogs, best behaved, best trick and a bowl licking contest. This year’s event is gearing up to be a fun one so don’t miss out!
The BCSPCA –Campbell River branch has gone through some tough ti mes over the past year and a half, but we are sti ll as committ ed to helping the animals of our community as we have ever been. Over the past year we have secured a new facility, applied for a rezoning applicati on, and were granted zoning, signed a three year lease with the Francophone Associati on de Campbell River, had a fl oor plan draft ed approved and fi nalized, lined up a general contractor to do all of our renovati ons, applied for building permits and
have renovati ons currently just about to wrap up. Our opening day is literally just around the corner, and what a bett er to welcome us back to the community but with Paws for a Cause.
I would like to thank the community of Campbell River for their conti nued pati ence and their conti nued support. Even though we have not had a physical branch since April 2013, we defi nitely have been busy within the community. On October 22, 2013 the Campbell River Branch implemented our Spay and Neuter program for residents of Campbell River, awarded to us by PetSmart Chariti es of Canada. This grant allows us to spay or neuter, owned, stray or feral cats within Campbell River. Not yet a year into the program we are approaching 700 cats that have been spayed or neutered through this grant. This incenti ve has been an amazing opportunity to help control our growing cat overpopulati on in Campbell River. We sti ll have one year left with the program and sti ll have funds to spay or neuter another 800 cats, so please contact us if you have a cat that needs to be spayed or neutered.
Exciti ng ti me are fast approaching for the BCSPCA –Campbell River Branch, we can’t wait to be able to show off our new facility at 891 13th Avenue to the community and look forward to seeing you all again soon.
Best Regards, Stephanie Arkwright BCSPCA-Campbell River Community Animal Centre Branch Manager

Some animals never know kindness. The good news is, you can fight
animal cruelty in your community by registering and fundraising for the 2014 Scotiabank & BC SPCA Paws for a Cause walk, held each September to raise funds for abused, injured, neglected and homeless animals throughout B.C. This year, participants in 31 communities throughout the province will walk to raise funds to help animals in need across British Columbia.
The Scotiabank & BC SPCA Paws for a Cause walk to fight animal cruelty in Campbell River will be held at Nunns Creek Park on Sunday, Sept. 7 from 9:30 a.m. with the walk starting at 11 a.m. Proceeds from the Campbell River walk will benefit animals at the Campbell River SPCA. Participants can enjoy a variety of entertainment and fun activities, including fun dog games such as the bowl-licking contest, face-painting, a salmon barbecue hosted by Marine Harvest with the company matching all donations generated from the barbecue up to $1,500, top fundraising prizes, and bouncy castle for children.
Generously supported by our local sponsors – CTV, Campbell River Mirror,
2DayFM 99.7 the Radio Station, Strathcona Toyota, MacTavish Welding, Great Canadian Oil Change, Seymour Pacific Developments LTD., Campbell River Pet Centre, Associated Tire Auto, Shar-Kare Feeds & Pet Supplies, Dogwood Pet Mart, Marine Harvest, and RH Printing & Graphic Design– the event brings animal lovers and their furry friends from all walks of life together for a great time as well as a fantastic cause.
“This is the largest single event to help fight animal cruelty in British Columbia,” says Krista Constantineau, manager of fundraising events at the BC SPCA. “We are overwhelmed by the amazing participation each year – it’s so great to see thousands of people come together across the province to help B.C.’s most vulnerable animals. Our supporters not only raise essential funds, the events are so much fun for two-legged and four-legged participants.”
Thank you to our provincial sponsors: Scotiabank, Petsecure Pet Health Insurance, PwC, Global BC, CKNW AM 980, Classic Rock 101, and TV Week.

Scotiabank & BC SPCA Paws for a Cause helps animals in Campbell River
After two days of some great Demolition racing, team USA left Saratoga victorious in our annual Canadian American Demolition weekend.
The American team would edge out the Canadian team by a 1,134 to 902 point dif-ferential over the week-end, after competing in such events as the Cat and Mouse race, Cone race, 20 minute Crash to Pass style race and, of course, the full Demoli-tion Derby.
Thirty-two Hornets cars took to the track over the weekend. Four
heats were given to them on Saturday with the D going to Dana Acker-man, C to T.J Halliday, B to Andy Tims and the A to Kevin Lawrenuk. Thirty-five laps were given to a 27-car field for their main event. A ton of early cautions made for a very interesting race, mixing the cars up early.
After all was said and done, Kevin Lawrenuk would find himself in first and would hold on to take the win in the A main.
The B main would see a flurry of lead changes
throughout the race, with the last lead change going to Luke Dixon on lap 25 and would hold on to win his first B main event win of the year, with second going to Liam Inglis and third to Boston Larson.
Thirty-two Hornets cars entered the fun on Sunday night. Four heats were once again given to the Hornets on Sunday with the D heat going to Shawn Allen, C to Andy Tims, B to Luke Dixon and the A to Kevin Law-renuk.
Thirty laps were given to the B main which saw
Rowland Westra jump out to an early lead and would hold it for the first 18 laps, but Dixon would find his away around Westra and would man-age to hold on for his sec-ond straight main event win.
Twenty-five laps were given to the A main which saw Lawrenuk dominate the field, grab-bing the lead on lap 11 and not looking back from there, holding on to win his second straight main event win.
A full field of eight Roadrunners took to the track over the Long
weekend. Ryan Guest would take
home the 12 lap heat on Saturday, with the 25 lap main event going to Trace Stevenson who
Seven local BMX riders have been competing hard
all season (starting in May) working towards last week’s Provincial Series final race in Vic-toria.
Athletes from across the province must compete in a minimum of four qualifying pro-vincial races in order to qualify to be ranked top in the province, and earn a BMX plate (mounted on their bike with their placing num-ber on it).
“This is a very big event that the riders work towards all year. It is very motivating and prestigious for a rider to earn a BC plate,” said Corby Johnson, father of nine-year-old Maklin Johnson who won the number 1 plate last year.
Out of the seven riders from Campbell River, five came home with a top-10 plates in their respective categories.
Young riders Oliver Cornbill, 2, and Noah Kerluck, 5, will have to wait next year to earn a plate, but they both rode hard and had fun while watching their older brothers rip up the track.
In the 6 and under age division, newcomer to Campbell River, Austin Cornbill earned the coveted number 1 plate, representing the top rider in B.C.
Sam Johnson rode in the same group and had
to settle for a 9th place finish after a disappoint-ing crash while in the lead during his semi final race. This dropped him out of the final race and out of a top five finish.
Dane Kerluck rode
hard in the age 7 cate-gory earning a 4th place finish, while buddy Jason Sekulich battled his way to a solid 3rd place in the eight-year-old division.
Finally, senior rider Maklin Johnson showed
grit and experience earning the number 2 plate in a very competi-tive nine-year-old divi-sion.
All these riders travel to Cumberland twice
a week to practice and race. New riders are always welcome in Cumberland. Contact Sheila Kerluck for BMX information at [email protected].

Whichever way you look at it, a practice ses-sion is never as much fun as a round of golf on your favourite course, especially with good company. But more reg-ular visits to the practice range are sure to have an impact on your score card. Even though a lot of golfers are already in the habit of warming up with a basket of balls on the driving range, it is wise to structure this exercise so that it doesn’t turn into a race against the clock. Golfers should try and
think of these prac-tice sessions as real golf games. After about ten minutes of stretching, take a few minutes to practice swinging with your differ-ent clubs. After this, choose some targets on the practice range and
change clubs with each swing. This will
enable you to get in some practice with your woods, your long irons, and your short irons. Don’t let the width and
lack of obstacles on the dri ving range fool you. Giving yourself some tar-gets to aim for is import-ant here, as it’s very easy to just hit the ball without having to worry about the lake on the right, the trees to the left, or the bunker straight ahead. At the end of the session, take about ten minutes to practice your precision shots with your wedg-es within a radius of 20 to 50 yards. You’ll also benefit from practicing your putts over varying distances on the practice green before starting your round of golf. This will give you a better idea of
the speed of the course’s greens. With all those great practice shots fresh in
your mind, you’ll be all set to start your round of golf.
You can never spend too much timeon the practice range

DARRELL BOYDSTEWART
July 15, 1946 - August 26, 2014.It is with great sadness we announce that Darrell Boyd Stewart, aka; Stubble, Wingnut, Wingy, lost his battle to cancer Tuesday, August 26, 2014 at home, surrounded by family.Darrell was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend to all who knew him. Predeceased by his parents Lionel and Helen Stewart and brother David. Darrell leaves behind
his best friend and wife Linda, daughter Stacey Stewart (Darren); grandchildren Kyle, Stephen, Isabelle and Chyanna, daughter Debbie Gibbs (Graham), grandchildren Jayden and Cienna, daughter Haley Sopracolle (Becket), grandchildren Connor and Jenna; extended grandchildren Tamara, Ryan, Colleen, Kayla and Brandon Blaney, brother Brian (Carol) and family, brother Ron (Caryl) and family, aunts, uncles and cousins along with many brother/sister in-laws, nieces, nephews and his countless friends. Darrell was born in Maidstone, Saskatchewan July 15, 1946. Being raised on the family farm, he grew up learning the true value of hard work. At the young age of 15 he began his working career, starting out on the Leachman farm, where he developed a love for horses and the sport of horse racing. From there he would branch out in the construction trade and the oil industry. Darrell and Linda were married June 29, 1968 and the following year moved to Port Alberni, BC where he would find work with Coulson Prescott Logging; this is where his love for logging began. During their eight years in Port Alberni, Darrell and Linda’s family grew. They were blessed with 3 beautiful daughters Stacey, Debbie and Haley, as well as an amazing group of extended family friends. It was also during this time that he became interested in and volunteered as a member of the RCMP Auxiliary. His dream of becoming a member of the RCMP would become a reality, being sworn in May 30th 1977 in Port Alberni. That same afternoon he and his family left for Saskatchewan so that he could attend training in Regina. Unfortunately, because of a previous logging accident, Darrell was forced take a medical discharge due to nerve damage in his shoulder. The family would then return home to Maidstone where he worked alongside his dad on the family farm. Throughout these years of farming, his interests would grow to include cattle shows and sales, auctions, truck driving and involvement with the local hockey team. Darrell’s love of history became his passion and with hard work and dedication he played an instrumental role in purchasing the CN Station in Maidstone and establishing the Maidstone & District Museum. In 1990 Darrell returned to the Island where he would leave his legacy in the logging industry. He spent most of his logging years working for Hayes Forest Services, Ted Leroy Trucking, Kurt Leroy Trucking and Dane Developments Ltd., all for whom he had a great respect. He was devoted to his work and all positions he held, from setting chokers to managing heli-logging operations. It would be in Darrell’s last few years that he would find his niche as a buyer in the Scrap Metal Industry, building lasting relationships while working for Steel Pacific Recycling. All who knew Darrell will remember him for his kindness and his generosity, the giving of himself and of his time. We hold dear to us the special skill he had for building unique relationships with anyone who crossed his path, and it is these relationships that will forever keep his memory alive. Words cannot express our sincere gratitude for all the love and support we have received throughout this difficult time. Out of respect for Darrell’s wishes, there will not be a funeral service; however, a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date with an announcement to follow. In lieu of flowers we ask that donations be made to the Canadian Red Cross. Boyd’s Funeral Services offers online condolences to be made at www.campbellriverfunerals.com

It is with deep sorrow, that we announce the passing of Walter Ridgway in Nanaimo, BC. Dad was born in Regina and spent his childhood in Saskatoon.

Dad fought through Sicily and up through Italy. He had mortar fire injuries with shrapnel embedded in his lungs and legs. He was sent to a hospital in North Africa, and after a month, was sent back to fight. He later was shot through the shoulder by a sniper and again ended up in North Africa recovering. While there, he contracted malaria which plagued him for many years.Dad came back to Saskatoon, where he met and married Marie Nelson. They lived there for 6 years, but due to a second bout of polio for Mom, it was recommended that they move to BC for its milder winters. They settled in Campbell RIver in 1954. They had 3 children and laters adopted one more. Dad spent most of his working life at the saw mill at Elk Falls until retirement at age 65. They moved to Nanaimo and settled into retirement.

Safety Tip:Even if you drive a gas-guzzler, you can still save money on gas: Avoid accelerating and braking hard or jackrabbiting, keep your tires properly infl ated, plan your trips and combine errands, turn
off your engine when idling and unload extra weight in your vehicle.

The Yukon is GMC Yukon territoryIt’s hard to believe but GMC has never held a vehicle launch for the Yukon full-sized SUV in the Yukon Territory, until now. Media from across Canada landed in Whitehorse and travelled around the territory recently in the all-new 2015 GMC Yukon model, ending up in the famous gold rush time capsule of Dawson City. From the wooden sidewalks to the gravel covered streets, this preserved part of history looks and feels much the way it would when gold was first discovered in 1896. The Yukon is also a great test for this big truck because of the immense stretches of unpopulated roads with smooth sections, potholes and loose gravel. The Yukon has it all, including spectacular vistas, wide-open space and spectacular scenery. Spending three days behind the wheel made me realize what a good job GMC has done with this truck, from fuel economy to creature comforts.
LooksLast year, GM introduced the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra full-size pickup trucks. In fact, the Silver-ado won the North American Truck of the Year and the GMC Sierra won the AJAC truck of the year. With a solid basis, the engineers then went about building the full-sized SUVs based on the truck chassis. They include the Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, the GMC Yukon and Denali, plus the Cadillac Escalade. These represent a huge profit centre for General Motors and they needed to get them right. The GMC Yukon is the most popular of the bunch with one-in-three full-sized SUV buyers choosing the Yukon, which is opposite to the United States where the Chevrolet trucks dominate. The top Yukon Denali model traditionally represents about 35 per cent of all Yukon sales but in the first few months of sales, it has captured more than 60 per cent.
Inside The long wheelbase model is an im-posing truck and a favourite of large families that need the third row of seating, plus a functional cargo area. The more popular short wheelbase offers a lot of room as well but when the third row of seats is employed the cargo area is diminished. On all but the base model, the second and third row of seats can be folded and store electronically. The Denali is exceptionally well equipped and shows great attention to detail, with the aluminum trim around the radio and heat controls, leather seating with French stitching. What the GMC Yukon offers over the Cadillac cousin is a simpler dashboard layout with traditional rotary knobs and buttons,
whereas the Cadillac has moved to touch sensitive panels that take time to master.
DriveThe Yukon is offered with two engine choices, the 5.3L 355hp V8 in the base SLE and middle SLT Yukon models and the 6.2L V8 in the Denali. This 6.2L engine is also used in the Escalade. There are several reasons to consider the Denali over the base 5.3L engine. The first is the inclusion of the magnetic ride control system that is also available in the Escalade. This sys-tem adapts the suspension up to 100 times per second and performed well on a variety of road surfaces in the Yukon. The second is a noise cancelling system that pumps sound waves through the Denali’s stereo system to help eliminate unwanted road and engine noise. The third reason is the mighty 6.2L engine with 420hp and 460 lb.-ft. of torque. Because this engine and the 5.3L have direct injection, variable value tim-ing and most importantly, cylinder management, the
V8 can switch off half of the eight cylinders and lean off the fuel mixture to reduce fuel consumption. With more than 1,000 km driven at a range of speeds, the real world consumption was 12L/100 km, close to the 11.4L/100 km official highway rating with the 6.2L engine. All the current Yukon models are equipped with a 6-speed automatic but the 6.2L engines will get an 8-speed this fall, with the 5.3L following next year. AWD is standard on all but the base model and these trucks can tow up to 3856 kg.VerdictThe Yukon is winner on all trim levels. I could find no fault but it is pricey. Starting at $51,800 for the SLE or $60,960 for the SLT and $75,540 for the Denali, this isn’t a cheap prospect. However, the Denali offers most of the same features as the more expensive Cadillac Escalade but is more use-friendly and less expensive.

Chromes and Fins, Off Road Luxury, 50 years of Chevelle and GTO, Italian Supercars, Restomod, and Pre-First World War (Brass Era).Look out for the Pagani Huayra, which is powered by a 720-horsepower twin turbo engine, the fastest car to go around the BBC TV program Top Gear’s test track. Also worthy of a lingering look will be the
Canada’s most valuable collection of supercars and luxury brands rolls into Vancouver’s VanDusen Botanical Garden this weekend.The fifth Luxury and Supercar Weekend will again showcase the crème de la crème of cars and also dazzle with fashion and art on the Great Lawn. This event has grown as a spectacle each year and is now the talk of the town among auto aficionados.The wide selection of luxury cars includes examples of Lamborghini, Pagani, McLaren, Bugatti, Ferrari, Jaguar, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin, BMW, Cadillac, Lincoln and Mustang. This year’s Canadian Concours d’Elegance classes include 100th anniversary of Maserati, 50 years of Mustang, 50 years of Jensen, 50 years of Sunbeam Tigers, The British Invasion, American Supercars, Modified Luxury and Modified Supercars,
P1 McLaren, one of only seven in Canada; a 2015 Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4, making its debut here; a 2014 Rolls Royce Ghost Majestic Horse Edition, a 2015 BMW i8, the new electric luxury car; and a 2015 Aston Martin V12 S Roadster, arriving directly from Pebble Beach for its Canadian debut.Those with racing in their blood should enjoy the 2015 GT Speed, the fastest Bentley ever produced, very rare Weissach Porsche 917K, a Saleen S7R race car, a 1933 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 GS 6th Series,

Five of Ford’s oddest carsBy Rob Sass
Multi-national Ford Motor Company has charted a quite conservative path through the years. Unlike dedicated eccentrics SAAB, Citroën and even American Motors, Ford has produced few cars that could be characterized as weird, but here are five from Ford (and its Lincoln and Mercury divisions) that still have us scratching our heads:1982-85 Ford Escort EXP: The EXP (along with its twin the Mercury Lynx LN-7) was simply bizarre. It was supposed to be a sporty two-seater version of the Escort compact, but the styling was incomprehensible. It was touted as a modern, affordable and efficient version of the concept that brought the car world the classic two-seater 1955-57
Thunderbird. But where the T-Bird was graceful and elegant, the EXP was just odd, and the squinty, hung-over look to the headlight treatment was particularly strange. 1963 Mercury Monterey Breezeway:The Monterey and its predecessor, the Turnpike Cruiser, were standard 1950s and 1960s full-size Ford Motor Company products, but it was the backward-slanted rear roofline and a rear window that lowered for ventilation that added a truly strange look to the car, as well as providing ready ingress for exhaust fumes.2002 Lincoln Blackwood: The Blackwood was a one-year-only Lincoln luxury pickup designed to compete with the Cadillac Escalade XLT. Unfortunately, it turned out to be the answer to a question that nobody
was asking—a shortbed luxury pickup that was too nice to haul anything. Less than 3,500 were made in that single year.1959-67 Ford Anglia 105E: Famous as the flying car from the “Harry Potter” series, this English Ford sported a distinctly American feature — the bizarre, backward-slanted rear window that Lincolns and Mercurys had sported in the U.S. : Another odd duck Ford not seen in the U.S, the Ka was both an oddly named and strangely
styled city car that measured just over 142” overall. Performance was largely theoretical as the Ka was powered by a derivative of the ancient four-cylinder that powered the Anglia. Handling was at least said to be entertaining.

By Keith MorganThe all-new 2015 Ford Mustang is now in production and Driveway will be at the much anticipated pony car’s launch next month in California.It goes on sale here later this year then for the first time in its 50-year history the Mustang will be exported to more than 120 countries next year. The addition of a right-hand-drive Mustang to Ford’s global vehicle lineup will
All-new pony car set to hit the highwayallow the iconic pony car to be exported to more than 25 right-hand-drive markets around the world, including the United Kingdom, Australia and South Africa.Ford boasts that the sixth generation Mustang sets new performance and dynamics benchmarks for the brand with excellent handling, more precise steering control and enhanced ride comfort. “Mustang is and will continue to be an automotive icon,” said Joe
Hinrichs, Ford president of The Americas. “Expanding its availability globally affords our customers around the world the opportunity to have a true firsthand Mustang experience – one unlike any other.”In April, Ford celebrated the 50th anniversary of the original Mustang. In commemoration of this, each 2015 model carry a badge on the instrument panel that includes the galloping pony logo and
the words “Mustang – Since 1964.”Mustang’s impact goes well beyond the more than 9.2 million cars sold in its 50 years of continuous production. It has featured thousands of times in film, television, music and video games and is the most-liked vehicle on Facebook, with close to eight million likes.Though the car has been redesigned from the ground up it retains key design elements – including the long sculpted hood and
short rear deck – but in a contemporary style.There are more power options available; a 3.7-litre V6 and an all-new 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine join the upgraded V8. The Mustang GT continues with the latest edition of the throaty 5.0-litre V8 – now featuring upgraded valvetrain, new intake manifold and improved cylinder heads – that yields 435 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft. of torque.The Mustang 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine uses direct
injection, variable cam timing and a twin-scroll turbocharger to deliver the performance Mustang drivers expect with an output of 310 horsepower and 320 lb.-ft. of torque.The new version features all-new front and rear suspension systems. At the front, a new perimeter subframe helps to stiffen the structure while reducing mass, providing a better foundation for more predictable wheel control that benefits handling,
steering and ride.At the rear is an all-new integral-link independent suspension. Geometry, springs, dampers and bushings are all specially tuned for this high-performance application. New aluminum rear knuckles help reduce unsprung mass for improved ride and handling.Prices will be fixed closer to launch.

An eco-friendly big Lincoln

version should consume about 14.0 /9.9 L/100 km (city /highway – new adjusted rating) and the AWD edition drinks an additional half-litre of gas every hundred kilometres.The transmission is a six-speed automatic transmission with an auto sport-shift feature and it also has a sequential manual mode feature. The optional all-wheel-drive (AWD) system defaults to a front-drive mode in normal driving situations, but it can send up to 100 per cent of drive to either the front or rear axle, if needed.The standard equipment list includes stuff like a
The MKS is not just another big Lincoln; it’s an slick ultra-modern full-sized sedan. It was introduced for the 2009 model year and came with just about every new high-tech auto gadget. Unlike the big engine, gas-guzzling Lincolns of yore, a modern V6 engine powers MKS. Both front-drive and all-wheel-drive (AWD) versions of MKS are available. The ‘09’s 3.7-litre V6 is a four-valve per cylinder engine with variable valve timing that can deliver 273 horsepower and 270 lb.-ft. of torque, on regular-grade gasoline. The front-drive
front park assist system, intelligent start (a keyless ignition system), adaptive headlamps (that move with steering) and a power rear window sunshade that has an auto retract feature when the MKS is put in reverse. Options came in packages like the popular ($5,000) Vision package that included a navigation system plus adaptive cruise control, a rear back-up camera and a superb THX II
Price Check: 2009 to 2012 Lincoln MKS (Sept 2014) Year Edition Expect to Pay Today 2009 MKS $15,000 to $19,000 2010 MKS $19,000 to $23,000 2011 MKS $24,000 to $28,000 2012 MKS $29,000 to $34,000
5.1 surround sound audio system.Inside, the MKS has a roomy cabin. Rear seat head and legroom is excellent and they even come with electric heaters. The trunk is another extra-large offering with 521-litres (18.4 cubic feet) of cargo space.Lincoln’s interior theme for the MKS was guilt-free luxury as recycled wood (from reclaimed furniture) was used to make the decorative trim pieces inside the cabin. An eco-friendly (chromium-free) tanning process is also used by the Scottish leather supplier to give its “Bridge of Weir” upholstery an extra soft feel.A second engine choice was added for the 2010 model year, transmission shifter paddles come with a new steering wheel and a MyKey security system became standard. The new 3.5-litre “EcoBoost” turbocharged direct-injection V6 engine, offered more power, yet provides about the same fuel economy, as the base 3.7 litre V6 and came as
part of a new GTDI trim level. No other running changes of significance were made to MKS for the 2011 or 2012 model years. Higher than average repair problems, particularly with the braking system, show up on the Consumer Reports reliability surveys, but average to good ratings in most other areas has allowed the MKS achieve an overall “average” reliability history rating. Crash safety ratings for the MKS are excellent and it’s an overall “Top Pick” in its class, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. A pre-owned Lincoln MKS is an even more attractive purchase when you consider that it probably cost in excess of $50,000, when brand new, to put it on the road. A used MKS can be a good buy, especially if you plan to do some long distance driving.

Fishing Corner with Don Daniels
Salmon shing in Campbell River has been incredible this season and there is no sign of things letting up. On any given day the number of boats trolling around the green can indicates the bite is on and some nice sh are being caught when shing in 160 feet of water. Garry McWhirter landed a 47lb spring on August 26th and on the same day Bill Monaghan got his 32lb Tyee in the pool with rower Dan Plamondon. To date the Tyee pool has only given up 8 sh with the season ending on September 15th.
This year there has been a huge run of sockeye salmon and many anglers are heading north to get into the zone. On Wednesday I was at Painters Lodge when guide Rick Raps was returning with his family and his limit of
sockeye. Rick mentioned he likes to get big salmon but
today was sockeye day. With the nice weather
continuing in Campbell River
you can
expect heavy boat traf c north of Browns Bay with anglers targeting sockeye.
This time of year a number of y shers from Germany and Italy sh the Campbell River and they stay away from the crowds. Most of the y action is done between the bridges and in late fall, some springs are hooked and its hang on Charlie. The pinks are coming to an end and a few Coho are coming in. This year for pinks I used a number 5/6 rod and I will change to a number 8 or 9 rod and keep my leader 10 pound test. I have heard of y casters hooking a big spring and losing their gear. The Quinsam river has a huge amount of
pinks and a number of
anglers are still catching sh. Light tackle and the pinks being caught are exciting for the children who like to sh.
Fishing with a worm and hook is the way a number of children were having fun on Echo Lake this past week with a few small trout being caught. A 5 pound trout was caught at Roberts Lake in the evening hours when the wind blew up. There are lots of small trout in 20 feet
of water and deeper, some large trout are showing as well.

When Matt Gimson approached his boss at Campbell River Home Hardware to see if they could help out with something his child was involved in, he didn’t expect what was about to happen.
The response from store manager Alli-son Kilby was, “Let’s go have a look,” and after that first trip she knew it wasn’t a small under-taking. She also knew it was one they needed get behind.
The project in question is the Campbell River Air Cadets hanger at the air-port, and, according to Kilby, “They were in a pretty dire situation.”
The walls of the facility, while structurally sound, were all made of medium d e ns i t y f i bre b o ard (MDF), and there were some not-insignificant issues with the kitchen and office facilities.
“I told them to make a plan,” Kilby said, “and figure out what they wanted to do first, and what they could wait and do next year.”
Dawn Koomen, who sits on the board of the non-profit society who helps operate the facility, said while she had hoped for some help from someone, as the organi-zation didn’t have any money in the budget for upgrades, the response from Home Hardware was overwhelming.
“We were literally expecting a few buckets of paint from them when they said they’d help. But what they’ve done - I just don’t know how to
thank them for it,” she said, looking around the hanger at the progress that’s been made. “We were struggling to keep our heads above water, and these repairs just weren’t in the cards and were long overdue. It’s just amazing.”
What Home Hardware has done is not only sup-ply the, “few buckets of paint,” that were hoped for, but also supplied and installed new cabinets and countertops for the kitchen and office areas, replaced the walls of the main hanger, and have committed to renovating the bathroom facilities, floors and ceilings in the next phases of the proj-ect, which will happen over a three year span.
“Giving back to the community is something all four generations of Thulin’s (the owners of Home Hardware) have always been all about,” she said, “and this was a group that needed it.”
Why, out of all the organizations out there, did they decide to help the Cadets?
“These kids are going to be brilliant,” Kilby said, “and they’re not as recognized as some of the other groups in town,” using examples like sports teams and other organizations that are comparatively well-supported within the community.
“We want to give locally, to groups as opposed to individuals, and to organizations that give benefit to the com-munity,” she said, “but do you really know why?” she asked.
She then pulled a folded up paper from her
purse. “This is why. This is them,” she said, hand-ing over the page and pointing at it. “I hope that makes sense and doesn’t sound weird.”
On the page was writ-ten out, in longhand, a quote from Steve Jobs.
“Here’s to the crazy ones,” it began. “The misfits. The rebels. The Troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes.
“The ones who see things differently…You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race for-ward.”
And so the work on the hanger will continue.
As for the Air Cadets, despite the help with the renovations, the struggle continues. They’ll be at the Volunteer Fair at Spirit Square in the Tyee Plaza on Saturday, Sept. 6 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. looking for help. Specifically, according to Koomen, they need fin-ishing carpenters to help reinstall the trim around the doors of the facility and a few other odd con-struction jobs, as well as people willing to take the material supplied for a few courses and teach it to the kids…like public speaking.
They also need some-one to teach the kids how to use all the instru-ments they didn’t know they they had until they began the renovations and found them in a stor-age area, so if you’ve ever waved a baton in front of a band, maybe give them a call.

MIKE DAVIES/THE MIRROR
The “before” (or rather “during”) and “after” shots of the kitchen area in the Campbell River Air Cadets hanger are a great example of the hard work put in by their volunteers this summer and the contributions from Campbell River Home Hardware to make the renovations a reality. If you want to help Squadron 363, as well, you can call them at the hanger at 250-923-1001 or see them at the Volunteer Fair in Spirit Square on Sept. 6.
Welcome renovations to hanger were well overdue, but squadron 363 is still looking for volunteers
