The Little Bangs Theory NEIL CAMERON COURIER-ISLANDER

The last time Campbell River experienced major blasting was in 1958 when

1,270 metric tons of Nitramex 2H explosive was used to blast the top off the twin peaks of Ripple Rock in Seymour Narrows north of the city.

It was believed to have been the largest nonnuclear explosion in the world up until that April day.

And now another blasting is about to take place at the John Hart Generating Station reloca-tion project just north of the city. So a fair question would be: How do they compare? And a fair answer is, they don’t.

For one thing, the Ripple Rock detonation displaced 635,000 met-ric tons of rock and water. The tunnel work on the John Hart project will involve 300,000 cubic metres of rock or the equivalent of 120 Olympic sized-swimming pools.

In fact, you could sum up the difference in the two projects by calling Ripple Rock The Big Bang Theory and the John Hart project The Little Bangs Theory. Not totally sensational, but

somewhat sexy nonetheless.“To compare the work and

ultimate goal at Ripple Rock versus the planned work at John Hart is a polar opposite in the blasting world,” says BC Hydro’s John Hart project communications lead, Stephen Watson.

“The technology of explosives has really evolved since the Ripple Rock days. Comparing dynamite to emulsion is like comparing an eight-track tape to a digital player. Contrary to

the Beach Boys’ famous song, BC Hydro and John Hart con-tractor InPower BC won’t be having any good vibrations.”

And that’s a good thing.“The John Hart project is a

process of precision and con-trol,” said Watson. “The blast-

ing work is being done to create a tunnel and cavern for the underground generating station directly underneath an old and sensitive, and operating, hydro-electric facility.”

NEIL CAMERON COURIER-ISLANDER

The City of Campbell River has opened the tendering process

for the controversial 14th Avenue and Petersen Road intersection upgrades.

Some say the estimated $250,000 project could be replaced with a four-way stop sign that would cost around $5,000.

This tender however,

outlines a project of more significant scope which includes: the installation of new traffic signals, all poles, arms, bases, service panel, signage, signal heads, pedestrian signals and push buttons, luminaires, conduits, wiring, inductive loops, electrical tie-in work and new controller. The work also includes minor road reconstruction, including

new/replacement curb and gutter, new sidewalk, wid-ened road areas, pavement markings, adjustments to existing manhole/catch basin/valve covers, and associated water infra-structure works.

About the only thing not included in the tender-ing process is the paving which the city said will be handled [email protected]

Continued from page 1.Nitramex 2H won’t be

used this time. (If you

knew your blasting, you would apparently chuckle at that quip). The primary

material that will be used for the John Hart blasting is called bulk emulsion. It

is a common and widely-used, water resistant material that looks like pink toothpaste. Holes are precisely drilled into the area to be blasted and then the ‘toothpaste’ is inserted and detonated, removing, as it were, the exact tooth it was designed to remove from the mouth of the rock face.

In 1958 the world watched the Ripple Rock explosion. CBC and other media covered it, local residents either cowered in their homes or pushed the envelope and tried to get a view of the blast from what they thought would be a safe vantage point.

This time around? Yawn.“The kind of explosive

being used on the project, the type of precision work, plus the regulatory

setting of today means from a public viewing per-spective, it will be a major disappointment, and that’s a good thing,” said Watson. “For example, where the Ripple Rock event was one significant explosion, the tunnelling work at John Hart will consist of hun-dreds of small and highly controlled explosions.”

And that will carry on for the next few years. Crews will be on a cycle of blasting, digging, clean-ing, shoring up walls and then back to blasting. The difference this time is that the blasting isn’t designed to eliminate a landscape feature as was the case with Ripple Rock. Instead it is almost, in fact is, sur-gical. Crews will carefully carve out and create an underground hydroelectric system that they say will be sound for a long time.

The surface blasting will begin this summer and later this year once the blasting moves under-ground, it’s unlikely people will hear or notice it at all. The project anticipates about two blasts per day.

The power tunnel to be blasted is 8.3 metres high by 8.1 metres wide and will be developed from the gen-erating station to the dam. The tailrace tunnel is 10.7 metres high by 6.5 metres wide and will lead from the generating station to the Campbell River.

Watson says Frontier-Kemper Constructors is recognized as a North American leader in under-ground mining construc-tion. He confirmed there would be no official Light-ing of the Fuse on the project.

Doctor drops sobering statistics on councilNorth Island Medical Health Offi cer says key to better health is universal subsidized child careNEIL CAMERON COURIER-ISLANDER

North Island Medical Health Officer Dr. Charmaine Enns told Campbell River

city council Tuesday night that societal organizations have more affect on a person’s health than doctors and hospitals.

Dr. Enns said if society could help ease the pressures that trig-ger bad health decisions, it could help more than any doctor or hospital could. In fact she said that health services contribute about 10 to 15 per cent of an individual’s health.

And then she dropped some sta-tistics on council that were, well sobering.

She said the Campbell River Vancouver Island West area had higher alcohol sales per capita (157.6 liters (L) per person aged 19

and over) compared to B.C. (104.1 L) and Island Health (124.5 L).

And she said Campbell River had a higher rate of children in need of protection (23.5 per 1,000 for children up to 18) than BC (6.8 per 1,000) or Island Health (12.1 per 1,000).

And she said that Campbell River has one of the highest inci-dents of male single parents in the province.

As daunting as some of the sta-tistics were, Dr. Enns said it isn’t a hopeless cause, especially if society helps ease the pressures of the less fortunate and finan-cially challenged.

She said that kind of social assistance, that takes the pres-sure off families when the child is young, is a proven tool to improving future health.

“One of the initiatives we know

that makes a significant impact in those early years for the child and for the family is subsidized child care,” she said. “And while there’s a big push in the prov-ince to have $10 a day child care the province hasn’t been keen to adopt this because it’s going to cost them money. Subsidized child care, high quality subsid-ized child care, that makes it uni-versally acceptable to everybody, we know has a major impact on those early years and on health outcome.”

Anything that supports and takes the pressure off the fam-ilies will help, she said.

Other points were:• Campbell River had a higher

rate of births to teen mothers per 1,000 live births (62.5) compared to B.C. (30.9) and Island Health (43.0)

• Campbell River had a higher rate of maternal smoking (18.5%) than B.C. (9.1%) and Island Health (12.7%)

• Campbell River had a lower infant mortality rate per 1,000 live births (2.6) compared to Island Health (3.95) for 2009-2011

• The area also has a lower per-centage of Kindergarten children rated as vulnerable in social development (12%) than BC (15.6%) or Island Health (15.4%).

The area also has a higher percentage of Kindergarten children rated as vulnerable for physical development (21%) than BC (15.7%) or Island Health (16.8%).

• Campbell River had a higher proportion of students scoring below standards on reading (28.1%) and writing (22.4%) com-pared to B.C. (20.2 and 16.1%) and

Island Health (22.1 and 19.9%) • There was a lower percentage

of older housing in Campbell River (2.5%) than in B.C. (7.9%) or Island Health (10.2%).

• There are a lower proportion of multiple-family households in Campbell River (0.1%) than B.C. (2.5%) or Island Health (1.3%).

• Campbell River had a higher percentage of dwellings in need of major repairs (9.2%) than B.C. (7.4%) or Island Health (7.2%).

• Campbell River Vancouver Island West area had a higher rate of non-cannabis juvenile drug offences (70.2 per 100,000 youth aged 12-17) than B.C. (46.4) and Island Health (49.1)

• Campbell River had a higher rate of illicit drug deaths (15.4 per 100,000) compared to B.C. (7.7) and Island Health (8.5) .

Hospital’s constructionmay mean four-way stopat Evergreen and Alder NEIL CAMERON COURIER-ISLANDER

A four-way stop at Ever-green and Alder is some-thing the city should

seriously look at considering the implications the new hospital construction will have on the intersection.

City Councillor Andy Adams said the hospital construction, which will include a closure of nearby Birch Street, could pose serious traffic concerns and he suggested putting the item on a fast track.

The issue came up when local residents Ted Haylow and Norm Smith suggested the four-way stop to council Tuesday night. Haylow said Alder has become “extremely dangerous” since the reconfiguration of Dogwood Street traffic lights, the other north/south main thoroughfare.

Haylow also sighted the hospi-tal construction as a recipe for disaster if nothing is done with the intersection.

“There may be a pending need to take a serious look at this with the construction of the hospi-tal and there is a planning and environmental planning commis-sion meeting Wednesday night at 5 p.m. and I would recommend that this be submitted and be put on the agenda for that committee to review and also to be passed on to our transportation staff to review for comments,” said

Adams Tuesday.Councillor Larry Sam-

son noted that recent ICBC stats show four crashes at Evergreen and South Alder while there haven’t been any at Merecroft and Alder.

And it was Haylow who was instrumental in getting that four-way

stop put up as well.Part of the problem at

Merecroft and Alder was that drivers were speed-ing because there was a long stretch without any traffic impediments. The entire Alder Street area is the subject of a major study by the city.

The Baikie Island restoration project in Campbell River has been named a finalist in the 2014 Land Awards sponsored by the

Real Estate Foundation of B.C.The Baikie Island Restoration

is result of a unique partnership between the Nature Conservancyof Canada and the City of Camp-bell River



Campbell River Mayor Wal-ter Jakeway can criticize the city’s attempt to amal-

gamate and provide sewer servi-ces to Area D all he wants.

But he has to take some of the responsibility for the process himself and he and Area D dir-ector Brenda Leigh need to get their figures straight.

That is the gist of a somewhat extraordinary information

release from city council that also included all the votes on the issue over the past couple of years.

In all council passed 27 resolu-tions in favour of various aspects of the Area D amalgamation beginning in July 2011.

The council information release said the mayor “regis-tered his first public opposition during a vote on April 15 2014” which would have been resolu-tion number 24 passed in that

time.However, in a Dec. 13 vote he,

and Councillors Larry Samson and Ron Kerr were listed as opposed to a resolution that the “city proceed with boundary extension Option 2 as outlined in Mr. Huang’s Nov. 28, 2013 memo-randum, which includes Phase One sewer implementation, under the condition that the provincial government extends the deadline for the $3.4 million Phase One Sewer funding grant.”

That however was in camera and would have been number 13 of the 27 resolutions.

It was not until April 15 that Jakeway was publicly noted as being opposed.

The other issue surrounds the cost. Both Jakeway and Leigh have said that they sus-pect the process cost about $200,000. The information sheet from council protests that and even says the process eventu-ally saves the city money.

The council sheet said the city budgeted $75,000 for the boundary extension process, have spent $71,000 of that and have “some very minor addi-tional costs to pay out.”

“The amalgamation/referen-dum process will end up sav-ing the city significantly more than $75,000 because the city will no longer have to develop studies and plans to up-size sewer infrastructure to provide for the possibility of sewer service to Area D,” said the release, “which was at their request through a referendum process back in 2006, in which the majority of northern Area D residents voted in favour of a sewer service.”

And then there’s this late breaking news alert; there’s an election coming up in the fall. Can you tell?

Council issues information to set record straightMayor can criticize Area D process, but voting history suggests he has to accept part of the responsibility


A proposal by Upland Excavation Ltd.’s to con-struct a soil bio-remedia-

tion facility which will store and process up to 50,000 cubic metres of contaminated soil on Upland- owned lands at 7311 Gold River Highway is now in the hands of the province.

And Tuesday night City Coun-cillor Larry Samson wanted to make sure that the city had a part to play in the proposal’s eventual outcome.

In a letter to city council June 12 the Campbell River Environ-mental Committee (CREC) said their main concern, is that “these lands and the entire contaminated soil remediation activities are situated on top of a large aquifer which is on the south, east and north shore of McIvor Lake. McIvor Lake is part of Lower Campbell Lake and connects to John Hart Lake, which is the source of Campbell River’s drinking water.”

Samson wanted to know the status of the approval process.

“We have heard from CREC about their concern with the con-nection of McIvor Lake which is part of our watershed and the aquifer that lays below Uplands’ pit,” said Samson. “During this comprehensive environmental consideration is that one of the things that will be looked at?”

Acting General Manager of Operations Amber Zirnhelt said staff have offered input into the

proposal.“Yes staff will be looking at

issues regarding the lake and the central connection between the site and the lake as part of the environmental review pro-cess,” she said. “But before that stage this now rests with the province.”

She said the city would enter once again into the proposal once the province comes up with their decision.

CREC had said time was run-ning short for people to respond to the proposal because the dead-line for submissions was July 5.

“CREC is bringing this issue to the attention of the City of Campbell River, the Strathcona Regional District, and the resi-dents of Campbell River because CREC is concerned over the pot-entially severe impact of the pro-posed contaminated storage and treatment facility on the quality of our drinking water,” said the CREC letter.

Kerr says citydoing okay forCampbelltonNEIL CAMERON COURIER-ISLANDER

Campbell River city coun-cillor Ron Kerr says he understands the concerns

of Campbellton residents on 17th Avenue about roads and side-walks and ditches.

But he also said the city has done a lot of work in Campbell-ton this year and that residents should be patient for future works in the area.

“I would like to note that included in this year’s budget is more than 2,800 feet of side-

walk, that’s over half a mile of sidewalks, that’s slated for the Campbellton neighbourhood,” said Kerr at Tuesday’s council meeting. “I would like to compli-ment council and staff for this extraordinary improvement to the walkability, biking and ped-estrian safety in Campbellton.

“There will be opportunities in future years for improvements to areas that are presently lacking safe sidewalks,” he said. “But let’s acknowledge the significant work we’ve done this year.”

Council supports Legion’s bidNEIL CAMERON COURIER-ISLANDER

Campbell River city coun-cil will support the Royal Canadian Legion’s appli-

cation for funding for renova-tions to its kitchen.

Councillor Andy Adams made the motion Tuesday night, asking for a letter of support for the Legion’s appli-cation to the New Horizons Seniors Grant.

Campbell River Legion Sec-retary Manager Barry Watson

said the renovations would make the kitchen facility more user friendly for the many sen-iors who prepare meals for a variety of events.

Councillor Claire Moglove wondered if sending the letter might be problematic.

“I was wondering whether any other organizations such as the seniors centre has asked for support from the same grant program and is it prob-lematic to be supporting more than one?” she asked.

Second off leash dog park?SIAN THOMSON COURIER-ISLANDER

Campbell River dog owners could have a second park to call

their own before the year is out.

Ross Milnthorp, General Manager of Parks, Recrea-tion and Culture, said that council budgeted $25,000 from the Parks Parcel Tax for the development of additional off-leash dog areas in 2014.

“We are in the process of recommending locations for additional parks/areas as possible dog off-leash areas to the Community Services, Recreation and

Culture Commission,” he said. “We will be providing a report to the Commis-sion at their Sept. 3 meet-ing and I anticipate that at least one additional area will be developed in 2014.”

This will come as good news to the 1,854 (licensed) dog owners in the city, which is down from 2,055 in 2013.

“New licences are still being purchased at a steady pace and Coastal Animal Control is being proactive in following up on outstanding licences,” said Milnthorp.

Penfield West Dog Park, Campbell River’s first and

only fully fenced, dog off-leash area, will receive some new amenities, including a shelter so dog owners can socialize in poor weather.

It has been suggested that the second dog park be located in Willow Point Park next to Alder Street behind the ball hockey box, or at Nunns Creek Park, on the backside near the baseball diamonds.

If you plan to visit the dog park, your dog must be vaccinated and licensed, older than four months, friendly and social.

Lions help special needs teens’ summerCOURIER-ISLANDER

Thanks to a generous dona-tion from the Willow Point Lions Club, Summerside

Express, a summer camp for teens with special needs, will be able to offer amazing excursions this summer.

The Willow Point Lions Club donated $2,000 to support Sum-merside teens as they venture to Denman Island and Victoria on three-day excursions that pro-mote independence and summer fun.

“Summerside Express has a 27-year legacy as a community recreation program in Campbell River, and we’re very grateful for this support from the Willow Point Lions Club,” says Ross Milnthorp, the City’s General Manager of parks, recreation and culture. “Their efforts to raise this money and the commitment

to community service and Campbell River teens through this contribution are exemplary. Their dona-tion is greatly appreciated by all the participants

and staff of Summerside Express.”

The Willow Point Lions Club has been active in Campbell River since 1978.

For specific informa-

tion about Summerside Express registration, please contact: Mark Ler-ner, at 250-286-1161 or via email to [email protected].

Lions Club Members from back left, Andy Schwanicke, Kirk Jacobson, Tom McKenzie, Brian Clark, Marcia McKay and Lillie Tripp. Second row from left are Summerside staff Mark Lerner, Scott Motley, Anna Mclelan, Marion Barr and Liz Inglin. In front are Mattheiu and Isiah Dyck.

There is a saying I adore which states “I will be a procrastinator…once I get around to it.” Procrastination is a luxury very few cultures on the planet can afford, so, since it is an opportunity afforded only a very few, little wonder we like to indulge. There is another saying: “Tide and time wait for no man.” That one I do not care for as much. It means one can procrastinate, but that just leaves less time to eventually get around to the stuff they hope to eventually get around to doing…someday.

This really hit home for many of us when we recently suffered the unexpected and sud-den death of one of our colleges in the funeral services sector. Here was a person who knew all about what happens to people who put off their final planning…how much bigger the little things are when one is suddenly bereft of a spouse, a provider…a parent; and yet… there was a major problem with the final plans…the biggest being, that there was no plan. There was nothing…no will, no insurance, nothing but a space on the side of the bed that used to hold everything for a spouse now tossed into chaos and uncertainty.

I am sure they had the best intentions of get-ting around to their “exit strategy” if you will. However running a business is time consum-ing…caring for one’s family takes energy, and really at the end of the day you will get around to it. Until there are no more days…and no time left to care for those you love the most. If you have a small business, a home, property, or a life in general, think of final planning not as an ending, but as a foundation for those who are left behind to build on. If the worst should happen, they have a map; some direction to go in, and the groundwork to provide stability in a very uncertain time. After all “Don’t put off until tomorrow, what you can do today.” That is a saying worth repeating.

Northern Gateway will benefit all CanadaFormer Newfoundland

Premier Brian Peckford, now residing in Qualicum

Beach, offers his perspective on the Enbridge Northern Gateway Project.

In May, 2010 the Northern Gate-way Pipelines Limited Partner-ship filed an application to the

National Energy Board to build a pipeline to carry bitumen to the coast of British Columbia for export to markets overseas.

From January to July 2012, the NEB heard oral evidence from 393 participants in 17 communities. After all of that, the Joint Expert panel ruled in favour of the pro-ject, subject to 209 conditions. On June 17 the government of Canada approved the project as proposed by the NEB. In other words, the project is approved subject to the 209 conditions imposed by the NEB.

There is substantial opposition in British Columbia given that most of the pipeline is in B.C., plus the terminal at Kitimat.

There seems to be little recogni-tion that this is a national project involving directly two provinces and many other provinces in its construction and its value to assist the nation in its substantial trade that benefits the whole nation.

History seems lost to many in B.C. as to the way the national railways provide great benefit to the province in that those railways bring to port many resources from other parts of Canada and make Vancouver the largest port in the country.

Here are some facts:Including indirect and induced

effects, in round numbers, the total impacts of ongoing operations at businesses related to Port Metro Vancouver across Canada are:• 98,800 jobs • $9.7 billion in Gross Domestic Product • $20.3 billion in economic output • $6.1 billion in wages • $67,000 average wage for direct job, vs. $44,000 average wage in Canada

Although all of this is not due to the rest of Canada, a large part is as a result of the delivery of prod-ucts from other parts of the nation and it is the railways that makes it possible and in which all Canad-ians invested historically. This is valuable to producers in the rest of Canada and to Vancouver and B.C. in providing the port. Every-

one benefits. It often seems to me that in the

lower mainland of B.C. such large resource development in our prov-ince is somehow viewed as new and is just not green enough to pass muster. They forget that the province’s largest export is coal, producing 20 to 30 million tons each year (10 producing mines). No other province produces this much coal.

The Roberts Bank Superport facility near Delta has both a con-tainer terminal and a coal termin-al. Its coal terminal is the busiest single coal export facility in North America. Where are the protests to both producing and transporting coal, and sending it to China?

Besides coal, B.C. produces nat-ural gas, another hydro carbon, and lots of it. With new shale and tight gas discoveries of the Horn River Basin and the Montney Basin, natural gas is abundant and is carried by pipeline around the province, even by pipeline under ecologically sensitive Georgia Strait to Vancouver Island.

When one hears people talk of Northern Gateway you would think that we are new to the game of pipelines carrying hydrocarbons.

The BC Oil and Gas Commission regulates 39,000 kilometres of oil and gas pipelines in this province. There are over 100,000 kilometres of oil and gas pipelines across Canada. Canada’s first gas pipeline was in 1853!

Under our constitution, pipe-lines that travel across provincial boundaries are federal. There is a substantial number of B.C. residents who feel that somehow this project is different. However, very few ever make reference to the gas pipeline from Aiken, B.C. that travels through Alberta, Saskatchewan, and the states of

North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa and into Illinois, bringing B.C. gas to the US.

BitumenOne often hears statements of

how more dangerous bitumen is to transmit through pipeline than regular oil. I have never heard hard evidence of this.

First, bitumen has been traveling through pipelines for 30 years from Alberta to the U.S. I have not heard of any particular problems over those 30 years.

Secondly, and more to the point, however, is the fact that last year a special study was done on the transport of bitumen. It was con-ducted by the National Academy of Sciences in the USA. It was entitled: TRB Special Report 311: Effects of Diluted Bitumen on Crude Oil Transmission Pipelines.

It found: “The committee that produced the report did not find any pipeline failures unique to the transportation of diluted bitumen or evidence of physical or chem-ical properties of diluted bitumen shipments that are outside the range of those of other crude oil shipments. The committee’s com-prehensive review did not find evi-dence of any specific aspect of the transportation of diluted bitumen that would make it more likely than other crude oils to cause pipe-line releases.”

Aboriginal IssuesThese are very important and

must be addressed in an honour-able, respectful, and comprehen-sive way.

When the company made appli-cation to the NEB it was revealed that 29 of 40 aboriginal groups had accepted the company’s offer of a 10 per cent equity stake. In the 209 conditions of the NEB’s decision, numbers 76, 77, 93, 94 and 135 136 specifically address aboriginal matters.

The 209 ConditionsThese are often glossed over and I

have yet to see a detailed examina-tion of them. These are real and substantial and legally binding on the company.

Those who complain about a rush decision or this being pushed down their throats would do well to read these conditions. In doing a rough arithmetical cal-culation, it turns out that we are really looking at approximately 350 undertakings.

So the approval by the NEB is anything but a slam dunk, and much work is yet to be

done to meet these important undertakings.

SummaryThis is a national project and all

parties: First Nations, industry, provinces and the federal govern-ment, need to co-operate.

There are risks, of course, and historically if today’s environ-mental rules applied to the build-ing of the railways I suspect they may not have been built.

But we are a mature democracy that can use technology and com-mon sense to advance our econom-ic, financial and cultural interests. That means mitigating the real concerns of new resource develop-ments. To objectively determine if the benefits out weigh the risks.

In this present project, due dili-gence and objective measures have been applied.

To sustain our present standard of living, to say nothing of making it even better, we must develop our natural resources. That’s how we achieved our present prosperity.

It is interesting to note that the four provinces who are ‘have’ provinces today are all oil and gas producers. Who then will pay the equalization payments for the other ‘have not’ provinces?

Renewable energy remains very expensive compared to coal, oil and gas and nuclear generation. And when the wind does not blow and the sun does not shine, what then?

Germany is using more coal today than it did three years ago, according to the Institute of Energy Research. In closing down their nuclear plants they were unable to replace it with reliable base power through renewables. And Germany leads the world in renewable energy.

Is it just coincidence that Spain, California, and Ontario have very serious financial difficulties and these are three of the most active renewable energy developers?

The latest BP Energy Review for 2013 shows global energy consumption by source: Oil 33 per cent, coal 30 per cent, gas 24 per cent, hydro seven per cent, nuclear four per cent and non hydro renewals three per cent. And coal grew more than oil or gas, globally. That is the reality and Canada is posed to respond to this demand.

On balance, then, as the NEB has said, this is a project in the nation-al interest and should proceed if all the conditions have been met.

OPINION FRIDAY, JULY 11, 2014 || CAMPBELL RIVER COURIER-ISLANDER || 11

A hall full of roses and fas-cinators to the Altrusa Club of Campbell River,

for the wonderful Golden Girls Tea. Also to models and their vin-tage clothing. Altrusa Girls you did it again. Thank you.

Marj

A big bunch of roses to “good samaritans still exist” for mailing my lost

wallet to me. You restored my faith in human nature.

Grateful

I must agree with the “Dis-appointed Newcomer” who was not happy with all the

long-time Campbell River resi-dents who still belong to New-comers. I would also like to give them some thorns as I found the group unwelcoming as well when I attended three meetings.

Bev Drake suggested that if someone has a complaint they should bring it up at a meeting. Really? You can’t be serious! How many people who join a group would feel comfortable saying, “I hope you are open to suggestions as I think many of you are no longer newcomers, you are not friendly, and I think you should quit this group as it is meant for newcomers!”

Look up the word “newcomer” and you will find that the club isn’t meant for you. It is not your social club.

So quit.

Just Suggesting

A big bouquet of roses to Jane Super and Carol Forbes who made such a

difference in so many peoples’ lives.

Campbell Riverites have been blessed to have these two dedi-cated people working in their community.

Years ago Jane Super believed in me and her nurturing ways opened new avenues in my life. Without her I would not be who

I am today. I first met Jane when she worked for Service Canada. I was a First Nations single moth-er and she guided my return to school for upgrading, so I could return to the workforce. As anyone who knows Jane will attest, she is a beautiful person inside and out. Jane treated all of her clients with the utmost respect and always went above and beyond for them. In a sys-tem all too often bogged down with bureaucracy Jane always made herself available to see to her clients’ needs. Often on very short or no notice. Her skill in accessing funding allowed me to take the courses I needed to land the first job of my newly chosen career, and her encour-agement and guidance helped me succeed at it. Throughout the years whenever I met a First Nations person who had gone back to school to pursue a career and was successful, they all said this special lady from Service Canada had helped them. Inevit-ably, it turned out that special person was Jane.

Jane, thank you for all that you have done...and for being that rose in the community that never stops blooming.

And... I met Carol Forbes through her

career as a Literacy instructor with Continuing Education in Campbell River. She was one of my instructors when I enrolled as an adult student for upgrading, and she soon became my mentor.

Carol helped all of her students in all areas of their lives. We were not just numbers to Carol, she did everything in her power to ensure our success. For example, if I missed school she would call and ask how I was and tell me that they missed me in class. If one of her students was having difficulty it wasn’t uncommon for Carol to work through her break or lunch hour to help them understand a concept. Many instructors back then had one style of teaching and if you didn’t learn in that particular way, you fell through the cracks. Carol took the time to learn who her students were, and adapted her curriculum and support accord-ingly. I had tried upgrading many times in the past but had always dropped out. With Carol’s nurturing style, encouragement, and her belief in me, I was able to start believing in myself and succeed. Many other students from the First Nations commun-ity were helped in the same way. Later in my career, I developed a successful pedagogy for adult education that was heavily influ-enced by Carol’s teaching style and methods. Through passing on that knowledge she has had an impact on many other com-munities, as well as our own. Carol, thank you for your dedica-tion and for the positive differ-ence you have made in so many peoples’ lives.

Anita Smith

We would like to send the Timberline Dry Grad Class of 2013

huge bouquets of roses for their very generous and thoughtful donation to our society. We are very happy to know that there are young people with your incredible social awareness, caring hearts and level of compassion.

For Quality ServiceThank You!

For Kind DonationsThank You!

For Generous DonationsThank You!

Special Acknowledgement & Debt of GratitudeThank You!Yes, amazing custom-

er service still exists! Look no further than

the local Save On Foods. Sending sincere gratitude to Arlana and Karen who went above and beyond to help me quickly use my More Rewards points to book a Pacific Coastal flight on my short deadline. As a customer, it’s so nice to feel truly cared for and treated as if my request is as important to them as it is to me. These two women stand out (although I get the sense that it’s the way they normally interact on a daily basis) and earned some recognition. Thank you.

Flying High

I happened to be reading the roses and thorns article about Newcom-

ers to Campbell River. Then I went to join ‘50 singles’ and find they have a couple who sits and holds hands and look goo-goo eyes at each other. Don’t they know that single means ‘one’ and not ‘two’ people? Why don’t they go and start a couples’ club? The rules a few years back were when having a companion they had to leave, which I heard they did go their own way. Some even married.

Not Silently Single

On Thursday, June 16 I lost my wallet. I was doing errands in

Discovery Harbour and had

already been to the Credit Union and was at Staples when I realized my wallet was gone. I left and checked out my car. Not there. Returned to the Credit Union and asked if my wal-let had been turned in. As it happens a kind gentle-man had found it beside his truck and he got out and turned it into the Credit Union. He was still there and I said thank you, but really didn’t get a chance to thank him properly and never got his name.

To that fellow, I offer my heartfelt appreciation for turning my wallet in. Even though I knew there was no cash inside, I wasn’t look-ing forward to replacing the cards inside if it was not found. From the bottom of my heart again, thank you kind sir.

Marion Rennie

I have to agree with the newcomer to CR who wrote giving thorns to

the members of the New-comers Club who have lived here for much longer than three years and are cliquey and unwelcoming to real newcomers. I am another newcomer who had the same experience and chose not to go to any more meetings or activities after the negative experiences I encountered.

Bev Drake’s solution to the problem is to have those who are dissatisfied bring their complaints to a meeting. This is not realis-

tic, as the mandate of any Newcomers Club is to have members move on auto-matically after two or three years, so this should not have been an issue for new members to even have to bring up. I certainly would not feel comfortable telling the old time members that they are not welcoming and are cliquey.

Those who are not real newcomers should not continue to attend any of the activities or meetings. That is the way the clubs are supposed to run as they do in the others I have belonged to in Victoria and the Okanagan and many other centres. Look up the definition of newcomers and you will see you are no longer in that category. Move on ladies and give the others a chance. Your way is not working.

Another Newcomer

On behalf of The Salvation Army, a multi-coloured bou-

quet of roses to the Camp-bell River Lions Club for your generous donation to help send a child to Camp Sunrise Holiday Camp.

This camp for children who would otherwise never be able to attend a week of summer camp is such a blessing. Thank you so much for making a week of a lifetime possible for children from Campbell River.

On Friday, July 4, the Courier-Islander reported on fee increases at the Campbell River landfill effective July 1. However, Koreen Gurak, manager of communications for the Comox Valley Regional District advised the Courier-Islander Thurs-day, July 10 that final Comox Strath-cona Waste Management (CSWM) board adopted bylaw also include a

charge for household hazard waste, grass and leaves. These fees were not in the July 4 story.

“The new site access fee will not apply to residents dropping off recyclables, including glass, scrap metal, or product stewardship items, or for customers picking up SkyRocket,” she said. “However, users will be charged the $4/vehicle

site access fee when dropping off household hazardous waste, grass and leaves.”

The Site access fee (would be applied to vehicles that pass over scales at the Comox Valley and Campbell River waste management centres) is $4 per vehicle with a min-imum load charge of $4 for loads not weighing more than 60 kilograms

and $6 for loads not weighing more than 100 kilograms.

Clean fill (soil or turf suitable for landfill cover, currently charged at $5/tonne; loads less than one tonne are currently accepted for free.)

To review a detailed fee schedule and to download a copy bylaw 170 “schedule of fees and charges”, visit www.cswm.ca/fees..

Some tips on growing your own raspberriesTwo years ago, in the spring,

Nigel and I put in a rasp-berry patch. We built three

raised beds about 3 feet wide by 8 feet long. It was funny at the time because we had worked all day on our little project and round about 4 in the afternoon I went to get us a little refreshment. When I came back across the lawn I looked out to the three beds and suddenly realized that they looked, more than a little, like three graves. It was also Easter Weekend. We had a good laugh over this and chuckled that per-haps we should have taken a step back somewhere in the building process to look at the complete picture. Never mind they look great now and the raised beds are working really well.Last year we had a few raspber-ries to eat and it was simply love-ly but this year our raspberries have really produced! Both Nigel and I, like so many of us, grew up with raspberry patches where we enjoyed picking and eating; and this was a great thing. If I ever had to choose just one food, I think I would say raspberries, are

my favourite food. In fact, back to the Easter theme, my last supper would definitely be raspberries.What raspberries like:-• Really good drainage or they can succumb to Root Rot (hence the raised beds).• A really good sunny position (you need sun to grow berries).• Regular watering especially through the fruiting season.• Rich soil enhanced with your favourite kind of compost, manure and peat moss.• Bonemeal or Rock Phosphate for healthy root growth and for encouraging blooming (more flowers equals more fruit).• A moderately acid soil is good. The old Pacific Gardener recom-mends a pH of 6. We sell little pH kits to check your pH and they are great when you need to know your pH but I’ll be honest I didn’t bother as our Campbell River soil is naturally acidic anyways. I figured by the time I added some bonemeal, which is slightly alka-line, it would be great. Seeing I’m being honest it is also how I cook, which suits my Kiwi Hubby and his “She’ll be Right” attitude

which has nothing to do with me being right but rather that every-thing will be OK. • Picking… once they are ready

the more you pick the longer they will produce.• Pruning:... Regular July Bearing Raspberries

After harvest, in the fall or in the late winter – cut out the canes that produced. It is easiest in the fall when you can see where the fruit was attached to the stems. Leave the fresh, new, green, canes that have not produced as these will prod-uce next year. The older canes that you are removing are more of a silvery-brown colour.

Everbearing RaspberriesCut the top part of all the canes to about four foot tall in the autumn.

The first crop of berries will be produced on these lengths next July. The second crop of berries will come on the new growth that shoots off the top of these lengths next fall.Once established all raspberries may also benefit from thinning to make picking easier.If you haven’t got a raspberry patch yet I hope you find a spot where you can plant one ‘cause if it’s the last thing I do… I’m gonna eat raspberries!

Cougar stalksboy, warning signs put up

SIAN THOMSON COURIER-ISLANDER

Cougar warning signs are up on the trails around the ERT. Road after what was described as an

aggressive cougar followed/stalked a boy late Wednesday night.

Hounds have not been able to find it as of Thursday noon.

Other recent sightings have been reported in the area.

The BC Ministry of Environment describes the cougar, the largest wild cat native to British Columbia, as an impos-ing but evasive member of our wildlife.

In cougar country or in areas where there have been sightings, it is recom-mended people hike in groups of two or more. Make enough noise to prevent sur-prising a cougar.

Carry a sturdy walking stick to be used as a weapon if necessary.Keep children close-at-hand and under control. Cougar kittens are usually well-hidden. However, if you do stumble upon cougar kittens, do not approach or attempt to pick them up. Leave the area immediately, as a female will defend her young.

For more information go to “Cougar encounters” on the Ministry of Environ-ment website or call 250-286-7630.

Once our fastest growing source of imported wines, sales of Australian reds seem to have reached a plateau. But there are still great wines and exceptional values coming to us from ‘down under’.

Named for a unique growth of enormous Red Tingle trees, a variety of Eucalyptus found nearby in Western Australia, Val-ley of the Giants Cabernet Mer-lot (338988) $13.99 is remarkably elegant. Western Australia con-tinues to produce finer grained and smoothly fruited red wines from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and this little gem is an excellent example.

Although it is difficult to accur-ately assess, Australia’s domin-ance of the sweet and fruity side of the wine market may be over. Last month, writing in the Montreal Gazette, Bill Zacharkiw suggested that there is a prolif-eration of wines from all over the winemaking world that exceed the European Union’s ‘dry’ wine standard of four grams per litre of residual sugar.

A luscious blend of 60 per cent

Shiraz, 30 per cent Grenache and 10 per cent Mourvedre ‘The Dish’ Shiraz Grenache Mourvèdre (536540) $15.99 manages to taste as if it could have come from the south of France. Deep cherry and blackberry fruit flavours are cleverly framed by six months in smoky French oak.

Meanwhile winemakers in many other countries have decoded the fruit-driven success of Australia’s lusciously jammy, ripe wine style and adopted it as an element of the wines they make themselves. But take a closer look at today’s selection of Australian red wines - while the number of bottles we open may be down, the structure of the wines is turning away from simply sweet and jammy.

Meanwhile some Australian wineries refine their styling as they pay homage to the tradition-al wines of the ‘Old World’. Mod-elled on the ‘Ripasso’ style of red wines from Italy’s Veneto, after its initial fermentation Nugan Estate ‘Alfredo’ Second Pass Shi-raz (877134) $17.99 was pressed onto the pomace and lees of a previous vintage of premium Nugan Shiraz. Black cherry, raspberry and ripe plum flavours dominate in this subtly spicy and surprisingly elegant Shiraz.

Best known for their red wines made from the Shiraz grape,

known elsewhere – particularly in France – as Syrah, Australia’s better Cabernet Sauvignons are almost as famous. Just as most of the best Shiraz wines come from the Barossa Valley or McLaren Vale, the finest Cab-ernet Sauvignons come from Coonawarra’s ‘terra rossa’ clay soils, rich in iron hydroxides.

Grown in the heart of the ‘terra rossa’ country, Yalumba’s ‘The Cigar’ Cabernet Sauvignon Men-zies Vineyard (161810) $27.99 is seriously dense and intensely fruited. Some interesting rose-mary, sage and eucalyptus notes slide through mint before the explosion of cherry, blackcurrant and coffee overcomes the taste buds. Named for the cigar-shaped strip of rust coloured soil it was grown on, ‘The Cigar’ should be vigorously decanted and left to breathe for an hour or cellared three to five years.

Australia’s best unblended Shiraz wines are rich with black-berry and plum and often feature mocha and vanilla oak flavours. Their ripe tannins are soft and combine with luscious fruit fla-vours to create a generous, heart-warming style of red wine.

Mitolo G.A.M. 2010 Shiraz (79889) $44.99 was grown in the McLaren Vale region. The depth of black cherry, plum, chocolate and eucalyptus flavours it offers

up is enhanced by notes of sweet, spicy cinnamon and clove. Rich and ripe in its relative youth, this little monster needs vigorous decanting or five to 10 years in the cellar to turn to silk on the tongue.

Last fall, thirty leading wine critics from across the globe gathered at three separate events in Montreal, London and Mel-bourne for the second Master Blend Classification to assess 30 of the world’s leading Cabernet Sauvignon based blends. The judges ranked three Bordeaux and one Australian wine as their top wines. The Australian wine was Wolf Blass Black Label.

Released as the fruit from 2007 in 2010 after almost two years aging in French and American oak, the 35th vintage of Wolf Blass Black Label (377697) $99.99 is a blend of 70 per cent Cabernet Sauvignon and 22 per cent Shiraz with eight per cent Malbec. Cabernet Sauvignon from Langhorne Creek brings richness and depth as well as elegance, finesse and the under-lying savoury minty, eucalyptus notes. McLaren Vale sourced Shi-raz adds luscious berry and plum fruit. Stunning!

The Bantam Ravens have a lot to celebrate these days.

Not only did the Ravens win the Vancouver Island Lacrosse Bantam B League Champion-ship Banner, they also secured a berth to Provincials with a

hard earned 9-8 victory over Juan de Fuca (JDF).

Hard-earned in the fact they won it in double overtime after tying the game with only two seconds left in the third period. The victory was quite an accomplishment for the Ravens, as they had not beaten

JDF previously this season.To win the Banner, the top

two teams on the Island com-peted. The Ravens won the championship, a 7-3 victory against Vic Esquimalt Sunday in Victoria.

This weekend, the Ravens hope to have more to celebrate

as they compete at Provincials in Victoria.

The Ravens wish to send a huge thank-you to their spon-sors (Wahkash Contracting Ltd and Herman Hand Falling) and to coaches, team manager and parents for all their time and effort.

The Bantam B Ravens not only captured the Island Lacrosse League championship they gained a berth to this weekend’s Provincials in Victoria. Ravens team members include, back left, coaches Craig Robertson, Rob Gushe, Dwayne Christensen and Cory Fisher.

12th Annual Cops for Cancer tournament raises record amount

It was a record breaking 12th Annual Cops for Cancer Golf Tournament Saturday at Storey Creek Golf Club. A full field of golfers teed off for the event and helped raise $44,200 for the Canadian Cancer Society. That total broke last year’s then record breaking mark of $34,400. A big part of the money raised this year came from tourney organizer Ray ‘Kojak’ Dagenais’ head shave whose cut was worth $7,800. At left, Dagenais gets ‘buzzed’ by Carol Chapman, left, and Jim Costain. On the links the winning team of, above from left, Travis Hirkale, Colin Stairs, Trevor Fritz and Kyle Stairs finished with a red hot 15 under par 57. They received the winning trophy from ‘I still have my hair’ Dagenais.

JASON KOWALCHUK SPECIAL TO THE COURIER-ISLANDER

A 2014 article in the medical journal Pediatrics summarized the current

research and has con-cluded that a specific exercise rou-tine, known as neuro-muscular training, greatly reduces the risk of knee

injuries in young female athletes.This neuromuscular training routine

has been coined “Pre-habilitation” because it is performed before and throughout the sporting season. The comprehensive research results have shown a reduction in Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tears by 72 per cent, thereby avoiding surgery and/or a pro-longed rehabilitation.

The ACL is one of four major liga-ments that stabilize the knee. There has been an increase in the number of ACL injuries over the past 20 years, with the rate being higher for females compared to males within similar sports. Interestingly, the majority of ACL injuries occur without any exter-nal contact by another player.

The risk of ACL injury in athletes sharply increases at adolescence (12-13 years old for girls; 14-15 years old for boys), with girls having a signifi-cantly higher risk until adulthood. This occurs because of what is called a ‘motor-machine mismatch’, where the body is growing faster then what the neuromuscular system can control it. Anatomical differences also con-

tribute to increased risk for girls, and boys appear to be partially protected because of increased testosterone at puberty which accelerates muscle growth and strength.

An ACL injury, with or without surgery, will require many months of rehabilitation, and can be very disrupt-ive to a young person due to time lost from school and sports. According to local Orthopaedic Surgeon, Dr. Stephen Sohmer, a young athlete with a com-plete ACL tear will almost certainly require surgery in order to return to sporting activity. An untreated ACL tear increases the risk of irreversible damage to other knee structures, and premature arthritis later in life. He sup-ports pre-activity training programs for all young athletes in order to prevent an ACL tear in the first place.

Neuromuscular training works by preparing the body to perform sport specific movements in a way that reduces risk of injury during pivoting, landing, or unexpected loading of the knee. This is particularly relevant to any athlete that plays a sport requiring sprinting, pivoting, cutting, jumping, or landing (such as soccer, volley-ball, lacrosse, football, baseball, or basketball).

For more information on ACL injur-ies, “Prehab” exercises, or any other inquiries, contact your local physio-therapist at CBI Rehabilitation In Motion at 250-923-3773.

Hardy with the Marine Harvest Canada sponsored team, the Stray Katz. Jake Colburn and Steph Dawson were named the Division A MVPs. The Stray Katz went up against the Cermaq Canada sponsored team, the Maniacs, in the final.

The Division B trophy is stay-ing in Campbell River with the Marine Harvest Canada sponsored team, the Upchucks. In the championship game the Upchucks defeated another Marine Harvest Team sponsored team from Port Hardy. Division MVP awards were presented to

Upchuck players Michael Allison and Melissa Thulin.

Delicious barbecued farmed salmon, donated by Cermaq Canada, was served to tourna-ment participants and spectators on Saturday with the proceeds going Campbell River Search and Rescue.

“We are pleased to have the opportunity to help the fundrais-ing efforts of CRSAR and the important volunteer service they provide the entire North Island,” said Cory Percevault, Pres-ident of Positive Aquaculture Awareness.

It took a count back but Mal-colm Hing has made his way back to the top of the leaderboard top-ping the Storey Creek Men’s Club field Wednesday. Hing won on a count back with Derek Murray after they finished tied with an even par 36.

Brent Cross won low gross on the high side with a 38 and Neal Thomson placed first low net on the high side. On the low side, Duane Ladouceur carded a superb low net 32 for back to back wins.

Smart dressers German Campos, Brock Thomson, Neal Thomson and Dusan Munjin made up Jim’s Clothes Closet foursome that won the team game Wednesday. No. 1 Auto Body came in second and Club Fitness placed third.

Rick Tuttle skulled a ball 6” from the hole to win the Discovery Inn KP on No. 7. Rick Steele won the Chan Nowasad Boates KP on No. 5.

Geoff Hancock defended his long drive status by winning the Chinook Scaffold long drive and Sukhy Bains won the Coastal Eyecare long drive with a 340

yard bomb. Everyone’s favorite landscaper Ziggy Stewart won the Property Guy’s long drive on No. 9. Ross Hicks proudly won the Coastal Mountain Fuels Explo-sion Award.

Many of us ride strictly for pleasure or for transporta-tion, with no aspirations to ever compete,

where others of us love the competition of beating a buddy on a Sunday ride or racing organized events, so is cyc-ling more sport or culture?

I argue that any form of cycling can be competi-tive and in its most obvious form, racing, it is sport. But the life style and culture are the dominating force. If you ride to work to save money on gas, if you hit the trails with your friends once a week or if you’re a world champion racer, it makes us all cyclists and the positive change it makes to our life-style is undeniable.

I raced mountain bikes for years and as much as the competition kept me inspired, looking back, what I miss the most from those days is the cama-raderie with the “racing family,” and yes after a few races they quickly become family. To this day some of my oldest friends are from racing. We all ride slower now and its just for fun, but that connection still exists.

In the earlier days of my riding, I taught moun-tain bike skills and as much as this was a job, it wasso much fun being on a bike and helping others dis-cover the lifestyle, I would have happily done it for free…not that I mentioned that at the time.

Even in normal job situations, if you have fel-low workers that are into cycling of any type, you connect with those people first. You could be a XC racing fork lift operator and find the CEO is a gravity junkie and barriers are erased, you’re both cyclists and therefore connected through a culture that few other sports can claim.

I have heard from many many people how hard it is to make friends when moving to a new town. I moved from Vancouver to Campbell River five years ago and through cycling have made strong friendships, great connections and have endless groups to ride with, it was easy!

So whether you ride for fun, you ride to compete or you ride from A to B. Whether you are a lover of dirt or pavement and no matter what wheel size you prefer, you are a cyclists and part of a positive and welcoming community.

And if you are not a cyclist yet, what are you wait-ing for?

I’m James Durand and I’m Goin’ Ridin’.

Timberline Wolves and Campbell Riv-er Crush setter Tommilyn (Tommie) Corder joins the elite group of volley-ball athletes to represent BC at the U16 National Western Elite Championships in Edmonton next weekend.

After four gruelling days in Kam-loops at the annual Baden Cup tryouts and tournament last week, the field of 72 female athletes was narrowed down to the top 24, forming two BC teams. Corder was the first name announced in the selection of this year’s Team BC squads

Prior to this year’s Baden Cup tourna-ment, Corder’s U15 Vancouver Island team took a bronze medal at the 2012 BC Summer Games. This year, she was the only Campbell River athlete, and one of six girls from Vancouver Island to travel to Kamloops for the Baden Cup training camp and Provincial tryouts.

During the final day of the tourna-ment, she led her team from the bot-tom of the pack to win the gold medal, and be crowned a tournament all-star.

“I have never seen one player (Corder) maintain such calmness and control on the court in any other Baden Cup tour-

nament,” said Team BC coach Chris Dahl, who is also the head coach of the Camosun College Chargers.

Corder will continue training in Kamloops for two more weeks with the team before travelling to the Saville Centre in Edmonton for the Nationals July, 17-20.

Corder started her volleyball career five years ago with Campbell River Christian School’s (CRCS) coach Kathy Andrews, who was the first driving force in giving Tommie the passion, drive and determination to master her sport. Tommie also credits CRCS coach Tammy Coon, Timberline Wolves coach Terry Philp and Crush coaches Kent Reesor, Ken Falk and John Swan-son for much of her success over the last five years, as well as giving special thanks to her parents for their con-tinued support.

It hasn’t been an easy journey for Tommie in getting to this level. She has had her share of setbacks along with

Hing wins at Storey Creek

VOLLEYBALL

‘Tommie’ takes her game up to ‘elite level’ successes through the years, especially being from a small town, and she encourages up and coming players to maintain perseverance and determina-tion to be the best they can be.

Following the National Championships, Tommie will prepare for her graduating year and her final season with the Timberline Wolves senior girl vol-leyball team, with plans to continue with a volley-ball scholarship and pursuing degrees in Kinesiol-ogy and Physio & Sports Therapy after graduation.

Thursday at Coal Hills (Cumberland BMX Track) Campbell River riders were front and centre at the weekly race. There were over 150 racers with 15 motos while all four Campbell River riders found the podium. Macklin Johnson, 9, (intermediate division) and Jason Sekulich, 7, (novice) took home the gold, while Noah Kerluck, 5, (novice) finished second and Dane Kerluck, 7, (intermediate) earned a third place finish. In photo, from left, Johnson, Sekulich, Dane Kerluck and Noah Kerluck.
