Back in the winter of 2011, Jessica Taylor said her child’s old and rot-ting school playground looked like a “murder scene” after it was sealed off with red tape.
Crime scene would be more accu-rate after Taylor’s husband, Neil Taylor, pleaded guilty to theft over $5,000 on Wednesday morning in Campbell River provincial court.
The former members of the Dis-covery Passage Elementary School Parent Advisory Council were both charged with fraud over $5,000 and theft over $5,000.

She was the former chair of the council while he was treasurer, and both were involved in fundraising to build a new playground for the students.
However, in Janu-ary 2012, other council members told Camp-bell River RCMP that thousands of dollars were missing from their account. Following a lengthy police investiga-tion, the Taylors were
charged with theft and fraud.
Both Jessica and Neil pleaded not guilty to the charges. On Wednesday though, that changed when Neil took the blame by pleading guilty to theft.
Neil’s fraud charge is expected to be dropped by Crown prosecutor David Fitzsimmons and both charges against Jes-sica could be stayed as well.
However, it’s not a done
deal and Fitzsimmons requested a pre-sentence report be prepared for the court. The prosecu-tor indicated he will wait until everything is com-pleted before he consid-ers dropping the other charges.
The Taylors entered the courtroom together, but did not address Judge Roderick Sutton. Jessica is several months preg-nant and has maintained her not guilty pleas.
The couple is due back in court on Aug. 12.

The betrayal and bro-ken friendship stem-ming from the theft of money fundraised for Discovery Passage school hurts more than the sto-len money, say members who sat on the parent council with the accused.
“ They were close friends of ours for years,” said one Parent Advisory Council (PAC) mem-ber who asked not to be named. “More than the money, it was about the trust and betrayal. It definitely destroyed us as a PAC.”
Neil and Jessica Tay-lor are both charged with one count each of fraud over $5,000 and one count of theft over $5,000. On Wednesday morning in provin-
cial court, Neil Taylor plead guilty to theft over $5,000 while Jessica’s charges were withdrawn by the Crown.
The Taylors were charged in May of embezzling money from the PAC between Dec. 1, 2010 and Jan. 31, 2012 while the parent group was mounting an aggres-sive fundraising cam-paign for a new play-ground after the school district took the school’s old playground down due to safety concerns.
Jessica served as trea-surer of the Parent Advi-sory Council during winter 2011 and took over the position of chair in the 2011/12 school year, before vacating the position in early 2012. Neil served as treasurer of the council during the 2011/12 school year.
Former PAC member Gene Belanko said the parent group became suspicious something was wrong when the Tay-lors refused to provide income statements to the council.
“ They continual ly refused for six months to a year and we finally told them we have to legally balance the books, they have to be available,” Belanko said. “When they finally produced the statements, the balance was significantly less than the cash that was brought in. It was less than half of what should have been in there. We did some really signifi-cant fundraisers.
“We did a beer and burger night which raised over $3,000, and we held a school carnival and did $1,300.”
Belanko said those fig-ures never showed up on the books, neither did the thousands of dollars raised by a Discovery Passage student through the Great Walk from Tahsis to Gold River.
Belanko said he esti-mates more than $10,000 went missing from the PAC.
With a big chunk of money missing, it was an uphill battle for the small PAC which was trying to purchase a playground for the school. But good news came shortly after
In June, the parent group received a $50,000 grant from the province and the PAC was able to buy a new plyground..

The road into the hydro generating station will have a new look that is expected to be safer for vehicle traf-fic while preparing BC Hydro for the upcoming John Hart Generating Station Replacement Project.
Work is set begin to shift the road entrance about 50 metres up Highway 28.
This will provide for acceleration and deceleration lanes, and turning lanes, within the highway for traffic entering or leaving the John Hart site. It will also allow for better sight-lines.
“BC Hydro will start with tree removals the week of August 12 and then shift to the earthworks,” says BC Hydro spokesperson Stephen Watson.

this short stretch of high-way will be reduced to 50 km/h from 80 km/h.
There will also be short-duration highway closures during some of the tree felling and the public road leading to the generating station and trail will have more short-term traffic stop-pages given the amount of work required.
For river recreation users, the work will still
allow for some of the eight parking spots near the John Hart entrance road to be accessible during the approximate eight-week construction period.
BC Hydro advises all the parking spots will be re-opened once the mod-ification work is finished.
“BC Hydro apologizes for any inconvenience this work may cause for travellers along Highway 28,” says Watson. “When complete by early Octo-
ber, the traffic pattern will be much safer, espe-cially for vehicles coming down General Hill and turning left into the John Hart site.”
Hydro work also con-tinues on the new John Hart trail and parking lot re-alignments, with the new Station View Trail expected to be open just before Labour Day.
$1 Billion
The work is all part of
the billion-dollar John Hart project that remains on budget and on target for the 2018 in-service date.
“BC Hydro has a set date of August 30 for the final John Hart project proposals and finan-cial submissions from the competing bidding teams,” says Watson. “There will then be a review period before BC Hydro announces the preferred team, likely about six weeks later.”
Once the preferred team is notified and pub-licly announced, there will then be a period of final negotiation before the contract is signed.
“BC Hydro is just as excited as the commu-nity in getting this fas-cinating major project underway,” Watson said in a news release. “While we need to acknowledge there are some impacts to a project of this size, the overall benefits are significant.”

Road: Eight-week construction period
An old-growth tree in the Campbell River remains a danger to swimmers, snorkelers and tubers.
The tree fell into the river in early 2012 and remains there, just below the John Hart Generat-ing Station, and poses a danger to river users.
That’s why river access remains closed from the BC Hydro generating station, but there are still plenty of other, and safer,
areas to access the river for recreation.
Speaking of that, water levels on the river and the lakes that feed the Campbell remain in good shape in spite of very dry July.
“The river flow below the generating station is around 40 cubic metres per second. This flow is ideal for the pink salmon recreation fishery,” said BC Hydro spokesman Stephen Watson in a
news release. “The reser-voirs upstream are also well-positioned for good recreation activities. The system is being managed as well as possible given the amount of water abundance.”
The Upper Campbell Reservoir/Buttle Lake is currently at 219 metres and is about half a metre below normal at this time of year. It reached a high of 219.2 metres (220.5 metres is consid-
ered full) on July 14 and has been hovering near that level since then.
Water run-off into the reservoir is currently about 30 cubic metres per second.
BC Hydro’s water sup-ply forecast is showing water inflows into the Campbell River reser-voirs between now and the end of September may only be about 79 per cent of normal.
BC Hydro is running
the John Hart Generat-ing Station at about 34 megawatts, or about 30 per cent of capacity, to provide target river flows for this time of year.
“This benefits fish and river recreation. It also conserves water for the benefit of upstream res-ervoir levels.” Watson said.
BC Hydro forecasts the reservoir to be around 218 metres by the end of September.
Water levels steady for fish and anglers
On August 1, John Bowman assumed his new role as North Island College’s fifth President.
Bowman served as President and Chief Executive Officer at the College of New Cale-donia (CNC), head-quartered in Prince George, for the past seven years. Under his leadership, CNC devel-oped and implemented a new five-year strategic plan; increased student enrolments; enhanced regional campus pro-grams and services; increased Aboriginal
p a r t i c i p a -tion rates and partnerships; e x p a n d e d International E d u c a t i o n activity; under-t o o k m aj or capital facilities renewal; and expanded fun-draising capac-ity and corpo-rate sponsorships.
Bowman has worked in the BC post-second-ary system for 22 years. Prior to his appoint-ment as President of CNC, Bowman served as
CNC’s Vice P r e s i d e n t , Student Ser-v i c e s an d R e g i o n a l Director for the Ques-nel Campus. Before that, he served as Vice Presi-dent, Human Resources/
Development Services and Director, Planning and Research, both at Kwantlen University College in Surrey.
Bowman holds a Mas-ter of Arts in Leadership
and Training from Royal Roads University.
“John has a deep appreciation of the chal-lenges facing colleges in rural communities. He believes in a collabora-tive approach to leader-ship, fostering a climate and organizat iona l culture conducive to improvement, support-ing employees as well as student learning, with a focus on developing trust and achieving desired results,” stated Bruce Calder, Chair of North Island College’s Board of Governors.
“Over the next two to three months, I will be trying to meet and talk with many community members, organization leaders, college employ-ees and students,” said Bowman. “My goal is to learn as much as possible about the North Island, each of our communi-ties, key regional issues, educational and training needs, and of course the College itself.”
Bowman succeeded President Dr. Jan Lind-say, who retired after four years with North Island College.

A Campbell River cou-ple has joined a lawsuit against BC Hydro after the utility threatened to cut off their power if they did not consent to having a smart meter installed on their home.
Ron and Nan Latchford have joined a class action lawsuit brought forward by Salt Spring Island res-ident Nomi Davis who said her analog meter was replaced last year by a smart meter in a decep-tive fashion.
According to a video Davis posted on You-tube, she was prom-ised by a representative from Corix, which has been installing the new meters, that her meter would have the radio switched off.
But immediately after the meter was installed, a friend was able to mea-sure electromagnetic fre-quencies coming from the smart meter every five seconds – some from 40 feet away.
The Latchfords signed onto Davis’ lawsuit on April 30, but the papers were just filed to B.C. Supreme Court on July
25.The suit demands
that BC Hydro remove unwanted smart meters, that BC Hydro stop installing the devices without the consent of the home owner, that BC Hydro be prohibited from declining to sell power to properties who don’t want the meters, and that the power cor-poration be restrained from accepting payments in exchange for not hav-ing a smart meter.
Nan Latchford said the lawsuit is about rights and freedom.
“We feel our civil rights are being ignored by not giving us a choice and not giving us the free-dom to have our homes free of an intrusion of a radiating device that BC Hydro wants to put on our homes and keep track of every little step we take by recording our power usage in a man-ner that you can detect whether we’re home, whether we’re not at home, whether we’re on vacation and if we are at home, what we do at home,” Latchford said.
Ted Olynyk, spokes-person for BC Hydro, told Strathcona Regional
District directors last year that many of the concerns people have about smart meters are based on false informa-tion.
“The Internet is a great place for information, but not all of it is correct information,” he said. “There’s misinformation out there that BC Hydro
will know who you have over for dinner, when you’re eating dinner…because of smart meters.”
Olynyk also tried to lay to rest fears over emis-
sions, noting the radia-tion levels from smart meters are so low that public places with Wi-fi pose potentially greater health risk than having a smart meter.
But Latchford, who has a steel cable around her analog meter and a sign asking Corix to please not install a smart meter, doesn’t buy it.
Latchford claims she knows someone with a health condition who has been advised by her doctor to stay away from wireless devices such as smart meters because they could prompt a stroke.
Latchford said after she and her husband told Hydro last summer that they wanted to opt out of smart meters, the util-ity wrote her an e-mail, dated September 2012, which warned them that, “any obstruction or interference with the installation of the smart meter…could subject you to penalty and to the disconnection of your electrical service.”
The Latchfords then sent a final refusal notice to BC Hydro early this year that they would not accept a smart meter. So
far, they have not heard back.
Since then, Energy Minister Bill Bennett has announced an opt-out program which includes having the meter, but with the radio turned off or keeping the ana-log meter, but with an extra monthly charge for meter readings.
Latchford said Ben-nett’s opt out is “a farce” and there’s no way to know if the radio is actu-ally turned off, as what happened to Davis on Salt Spring Island.
BC Hydro reports that 96 per cent of its custom-ers have already switched over to smart meters and 1.8 million are in use across the province.
The utility maintains that the smart meters will allow the corpora-tion to get the lights back on faster in the event of a power outage because the meters will alert BC Hydro immediately of an outage.
Hydro said the devices will also allow customers to save money on their hydro bills because the meters allow customers to see their daily energy use and make adjust-ments as necessary.

The BC SPCA is mov-ing forward with plans to open a new education and adoption centre in Campbell River despite the city’s warning that the site is not appropri-ate.
The SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cru-elty to Animals) issued a news release July 30, saying they would lease space in the Maritime Heritage Centre.
“We’re e x t re m e l y
excited to be entering this new phase of our life in Campbell River and we hope to be fully operational by the end of August or early Sep-tember, once the leas-ing agreement has been finalized and we have completed the necessary leasehold improvements and renovations,” said Bob Busch, general man-ager of operations for the BC SPCA. “We looked at a number of potential locations and we feel this is the right fit for our new centre.”
However, to move there would require re-zoning which the SPCA hoped would be on the Aug. 13 council agenda.
On Wednesday though, the city released its own news release stating that it was never informed of the SPCA’s plan and a rezoning application is not currently on the council meeting docket.
“While the SPCA’s July 30 news release makes it sound like their intention to move into the Mari-time Heritage Centre is a sure thing, we wish to
clarify that we have not been consulted on this proposal,” said Dave Morris, the city’s general manager of facilities and supply, in a news release. “Without formal details from either the Maritime Heritage Society or the SPCA, we are only in a position to confirm that the existing zoning and facility use agreement for this property do not per-mit the use proposed in the SPCA news release.”
That’s because an agreement between the city and the Maritime
Heritage Society requires that the city-owned facil-ity may only be used for maritime activities or as a public meeting space.
Morris said the city recently received an inquiry from Maritime Heritage Society staff about the feasibility of housing an animal adop-tion centre in the build-ing and using the park next to the building as a dog exercise area.
On July 25, the city told the society that the proposal contravenes the intent of the occupation
agreement and the zon-ing does not allow for animal-related uses.
But the SPCA is try-ing to move forward by interviewing candidates for branch manager and will hire additional staff once the manager is in place.
On the SPCA’s Camp-bell River branch web-site, the mast head has already been changed to read Campbell River Education and Adoption Centre, with a message, “we are currently work-ing on plans to open
our new Education and Adoption Centre in the Maritime Heritage Cen-tre building at 621 Island Highway and we hope to be fully operational by early September.”
Kathleen Embree, for-mer manager of the local SPCA branch, posted on the Campbell River SPCA’s Facebook page that “renovations will start soon, with hopes of opening towards the end of August. Can’t be fast enough, but this town will be proud of what can and will be done.”
Not so fast, says city regarding SPCA relocation

Upgrades to Centen-nial Park scheduled to begin later this summer will provide a revamped multi-use court and a natural playscape in this popular neighbourhood park.
“The final design is a blend of elements from each of the concep-tual designs and public input,” says Lynn Wark, the City’s parks project
supervisor. “Feedback from pub-
lic consultation indi-cated a strong desire to keep the swings, retain all trees and protect the eagle tree, keep the ten-nis practice wall, develop a multi-sport court in between the two ten-nis courts and increase accessibility, all of which will be done.”
Design details were
determined after exten-sive public consultation.
Online and door-to-door surveys, a public open house and a neigh-bourhood open house were other methods used to gather public feedback about potential changes.
Using natural elements, the park revamp will cre-ate a playscape designed to change from day to day and season to season.
The Centennial Park nat-ural playscape will fea-ture a large wooden eagle nest structure, wooden cookie stepping stones, boulders for climbing, a hand water pump and a small cobblestone water channel feature with movable walls for build-ing dams.
The central practice court at Centennial Park will be upgraded with a freshly paved and painted surface, new fencing and the addition of basketball hoops.
C o n s t r u c t i o n i s expected to be completed by the end of November.

ing is currently “high” to “extreme” throughout the Coastal Fire Centre, which includes all of Vancouver Island and the adjacent B.C. main-land from as far inland as Chilliwack north-west to Pemberton and Tweedsmuir Provincial Park. With the current trend of warm and dry weather, wildfires in the region have displayed
aggressive behaviour and required additional fire suppression resources. It is also anticipated that the Coastal Fire Centre will experience lightning throughout the next week, which will likely produce more fires. Human-caused wildfires can divert criti-cal resources and crews from responding to natu-rally occurring wildfires.
Open burning is pro-hibited throughout the Coastal Fire Centre. This prohibition applies to open fires of any size, fires with a burn registra-tion number, industrial burning, fireworks, tiki torches, sky lanterns and burning barrels. The pro-hibition does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or bri-quettes, or to a portable
campfire apparatus with a CSA or ULC rating that uses briquettes, liquid or gaseous fuel, as long as the height of the flame is less than 15 centimetres.
The open burning pro-hibition covers all BC Parks, Crown and private lands, but does not apply within the boundaries of local governments that have forest fire pre-vention bylaws and are
serviced by a fire depart-ment. Please check with local governments for any other restrictions before lighting a fire.
Anyone found in viola-tion of an open fire ban, including campfires, may be issued a ticket for up to $345. Anyone who causes a wildfire through arson or reck-lessness may be fined up to $1 million, spend up
to three years in prison and be held accountable for associated firefight-ing costs. This prohibi-tion will remain in place until Oct. 15 or until the public is notified that it has been rescinded.
For the latest informa-tion on wildfire activ-ity, burning restrictions, road closures and air quality advisories, go to: www.bcwildfire.ca
Following the Coastal Fire Centre open fire ban, the City of Campbell River banned all open fires, except beach fires in specified areas, as of 12 noon on Thursday.
“This means no open burning will be permitted in the City of Campbell River, except beach fires below the high tide line, between Maryland Road and 1st Avenue and at Dick Murphy Park until further notice,” says Fire Chief Ian Baikie.
“This ban covers all recreational fires, including campfires on private lands.”
The public is reminded that beach fires must be no larger than 60 centi-metres (24 inches) in diameter, below the high tide line and away from other driftwood.
Fires must be attended by an adult with equipment to extinguish the fire (i.e. bucket).
“The Campbell River Fire Depart-ment appreciates your assistance to help prevent wildfire in our commu-nity,” Chief Baikie adds.
Contact the Campbell River Fire Department for inquiries at 250-286-6266.

A project to rehabilitate a spawning bed
on the Campbell River won’t have to wait long for positive results.
“The fish coming in the fall will use this spawning bed right away,” said Martin Buchanan volunteer chairman of the Camp-bell River Salmon Foundation which is spearheading the First Island Chinook Spawn-ing Gravel Placement Project.
The foundation will lead the placement of spawning gravel on the upper Campbell River near the John Hart Dam Generating Sta-tion between Aug. 6-10. A ramp will be built into the river from the helicopter pad on the road into the generat-ing station at the grassy area before the parking lot entrance. Spawning
gravel will be placed using an excavator in an area of the river near the upper island across from the public parking lot.
Gravel trucks will deliver loads to be placed by heavy equip-ment. Due to safety concerns, access to the river upstream of the project will be restricted to swimming, tubing and kayaking. Traffic signage will be in place to ensure the safe and efficient movement of pedestrians, trucks and local traffic.
The Canyon View Trail will remain open, however, users will be re-routed to the John Hart Generating Sta-tion road around the worksite.
The project will restore areas historically used by Campbell River chinook providing an additional 2,000 square metres of spawning hab-itat. It is enough habitat to support 150-200 pairs of returning adults.
Much of the lower Campbell River is lack-ing the gravel qualities and quantities that chinook prefer. Gravel that existed historically has been washed down-stream with the flood flows over the past 60 years.
With no new gravel able to move from the upper watershed natu-rally due to the place-ment of three dams and reservoirs, spawning habitat needs to be replenished through periodic additions.
The ultimate goal is to support 4,000 adult chinook, based on his-torical escapements and habitat capacity of the river and estuary.
“The whole idea is to rebuild the chinook back to historic levels,” Buchanan said.
Gravel replacement is an ongoing necessity on the Campbell River.
Previous projects have been completed on other sites in the river in
previous years, includ-ing in the Elk Falls canyon.
“It’s an ongoing proj-ect,” Buchanan said.
The gravel is screened and washed before being loaded at the gravel pit. This reduces the poten-tial for silt downstream during replacement. Environmental monitors are on site to monitor water quality and opera-tions to ensure mini-mum impacts.
All equipment will be clean, with only envi-ronmentally-friendly lubricants used.
The access site will be deactivated and replanted.
The project is being led by the Campbell River Salmon Founda-tion partnering with the Fish and Wildlife Restoration Program – a BC Hydro initiative to address issues on water-sheds with BC Hydro facilities – BC Parks and Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

8 | CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR | FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 2013 www.CampbellRiverMirror.com
B.C. is famed around the world for its marijuana and people here buy, sell, grow and consume it mostly without fear of serious consequences from the law.
Elections B.C. has approved Dana Larsen’s drive for a referendum on decriminalizing marijuana possession — a reminder that pot remains illegal, and unlike neighbouring Washington state, our province and country remain far away from laws that take drug profits away from criminals.
Any move to shake up drugs laws in this country is seen as a good thing. But pot smokers shouldn’t have a victory toke yet. It’s not clear this referendum will get off
the ground and, if it does, whether the province will give it the time of day.
Similar to the ultimately successful drive to oust the HST, Larsen and his supporters need to collect signatures of at least 10% of elected voters in each of the 85 ridings.
The gross mishandling of the HST by the BC Liberals made it easy to whip up voter anger — and voter turnout. Many people in B.C. may support laxer laws around possessing marijuana (or buying, selling and growing for that matter) but the issue is unlikely to inflame the same passions as a government perceived as dishonest and shifting tax burdens from business to citizens.
The drive to create a marijuana referendum could help
to get voting-adverse young adults more engaged in the political life of B.C. At the risk of glib stereotyping, hopefully the referendum advocates stay focused and organized, and aren’t smoking what they are trying to legalize. If the referendum were to succeed anywhere in Canada, it should be B.C. But even if Larsen and his allies win, the victory will be non-binding and symbolic — the BC Liberals don’t have to support the vote.
B.C. may have a permissive pot culture but this isn’t the U.S., where, for better or worse, voter propositions are binding. And unlike Canadian provinces, states like Washington and Colorado will defy their federal government based on the will of the people.

Pot referendum not a sure thingOur ViewOur View
Hot and weezy Logger Mike has had better days
We say: But it could get young voters interested in the process
From a distance, it looked our big man on the pole was fidgeting.
Getting closer, it was clear he was downright uncomfortable.
Hanging onto his climbing rope with one hand, the other furiously scratching about his head and chest, while his right foot scratched the back of his left leg, Big Logger Mike looked like a man tending a noseeum farm.
“Got a bit of an itch?” I yelled up to him as I stopped below.
“Waz th-hat?” he weezed.Good gravy, The man wasn’t in good
shape!The eyes were beet-red, a snot-bubble
popped from one nostril and the weezy voice was clear indication ol’ Mikey was suffering from allergies.
I just shook my head at the pathetic
sight.“Th-tupid pollen,” he muttered to no
one in particular.“Ever hear of antihistamine?” I asked
sarcastically. “You know the drug store is right across the parking lot.”
“Jus shaddap an gimme a break,” he replied, almost pleadingly.
Wow, I’d never seen or heard Big Mike like this before. And that’s surpris-ing since he’s survived all these years through the wind, rain, sleet, snow and hail.
Then he started doing the full body scratch dance once again and it looked like he trying to use his tongue to tame the itch at the back of this throat.
And that’s when I noticed he wasn’t quite as yellow.
In fact he was a very pale yellow as if
someone had taken a bag of flower and dumped it over his head.
But that wasn’t all! Feathers too clung from various body parts while others floated to the ground as he endlessly scratched.
“What the...” I went to ask when I saw the final insult: The top of his wide-brimmed yellow hat was smouldering and his singed hair smelled awful.
“Don’t effven ahsk,” he replied between scratches.
“Ah, come on Mikey, everyone knows you. They’re going to talk. What the heck happened?”
“Well, it s-tharted out when the wind picked up yetherday and blew all the concrete bits from the Thaint Ann’s con-sthruction all over me – thas why I’m white...”
“What about your ol’ noggin?” I asked.“Lightin’ from da udder night. Got me
right on da melon,” he said, as he wet a large yellow digit and gingerly touched his burnt scalp.
I winced as I heard the hissing sound. But my curiosity was still not satisfied.
“And what’s with the feathers?”“Well, afther the lightin’ came the rain
which mithxed with the concrete bits to make a thsticky thsludge...then an eagle desthided to make a meal of a theegull and blew it up righth over my head...where ya goin’ I’m not finithed!”
“To the drug store to get you some pills, calamine lotion and a big-ass towel, we can’t have you looking like that for the tourists!”
It’s probably time to straighten out some possible unknown facts with the general public and authorities, (that possibly don’t know), or are misinformed.
Shipping containers purchased on anyone’s properties, (residential, commercial or industrial), are known by the tax assessor.
Every two or three years they come by, “cultivating their crops,” so to speak, and take note of any shipping containers that may have appeared on your property. Accordingly they tax assess you on the shipping container along with the rest of the property.
In late September every year, Econo Ezy Box Storage reports its stationary inventory of shipping containers on Spruce Street and Petersen Road to the tax assessor. The reason we have been reporting yearly is business has been going down in volume and so has our shipping container inventory.
So don’t anyone think for a minute that any one with ship-ping containers in the community is getting a “free ride” when it comes to property taxes. They’re not.
So lets see, is the city out any taxation? No! They are only out some up front fees which is beneficial to commercial property owners for a change.
I just felt it was important to put this information on the table.

Conversations with Mike
By Paul Rudan
Regarding the Treacy Letter slamming Area D Director Brenda Leigh.
How out of line this let-ter was. There must have been a hidden agenda in this poison pen letter. I have lived in Thunder Bay, Sudbury, Kapuskas-ing, Ottawa, Toronto/North York and Scarbor-ough and have never had an elected representative of the quality of Brenda Leigh. When people comment on unaccept-able politicians I tell them that I have one of the best ones and that takes in over 41 years of home ownership. I live in Area D because Brenda has been able to keep it financially stable without any significant
loss in any other area of operations. Can any-one in Campbell River make that claim? I think not. Brenda works tire-lessly for her constituents - far beyond what should be expected of an area Director. When there was a mess at Hagel Park recently she was there first thing in the morn-ing with garbage bags, broom and cleaning sup-plies. She didn’t want to call in staff on overtime so she got volunteers to help her clean up. Have any of you in Campbell River had that happen with your elected repre-sentatives?
Brenda Leigh is by far one of the best represen-tatives of any jurisdic-
tions I have lived in. It was very gratifying to see in the July 31 edition of the Mirror the two
positive letters about Brenda. To mimic a previous slogan that was against Brenda and back-
fired - Ho Ho Hey Hey, Brenda Leigh is here to stay!

“Growing A Food Movement” in Camp-bell River has begun.
The three small com-mercial farms now growing produce within our municipal boundar-ies are the forerunners of a local sustainable food movement. They are the first players in a visionary plan laid out by the Agriculture Advi-sory Steering Commit-tee. The team’s submis-sion was approved by council in 2012 and has since been included in the Sustainable Official Community Plan.
As a community we have a long way to go before achieving the
plan’s first level goal. Success would mean ten percent of what we con-sume would be grown locally. There is much work to be done but what is important is that these three farm families are changing the mind-set of many residents who are accustomed to think of Campbell River as a singular resource based community.
The astounding fact is that we have more than 12,000 acres of Agri-
cultural Reserve Land within city borders. The land is generally owned
by timber companies but the city and private land owners also have large hold-ings. Most of it is covered in forest, but remem-ber that the
Comox and Cowichan Valleys were both heav-ily forested 100 years ago.
Two years ago an agrologist, who was retained by the Agri-culture Advisory
group, examined soils throughout the area and particularly in the south end of the municipal-ity. He stated that the core samples obtained showed very high nutri-ent levels and were comparable to the main-land’s delta. This was the amazing result of his research.
For local potential farmers who wish to look more deeply into farming opportunities I would suggest the website, Linking Land And Farmers, (LLAF). It offers resources to both landowners and land seekers.
The organization has
operated on Vancouver Island for15 years. In the past LLAF supported land matches.
As more food security groups are working towards this goal LLAF has shifted focus and is now partnered with FarmLink in order to encourage matches through the Match Maker tool.
This site brings together new farmers who are looking for land or mentorship with farm owners who have land available or expertise to share.
Did You Know…we have a new “young
farmer” on Quadra Island, Etienne Cote. He is typical of the growth of a new genera-tion of farmers whose plan is predicated on the strong market for ethically grown food.
Etienne now operates as “Hillcrest Farms” and is raising Red Angus cross steers along with turkeys, pigs and lambs. For more information and to place orders call 250-202-3365

HOmE impROvEmEnT✴Electricians are Wired for Perfection.Electricians are key specialists where the comfort and safety of our homes are concerned. Working from plans, electricians determine the placement of all components and then install electrical panels, outlets, cables, and wires. Their job also includes installing lighting, electrical heating, air conditioning, and alarm systems.
The trade of electrician requires patience, precision, and caution as well as a great deal of manual dexterity. Electricians must also have good colour vision in order to distinguish between the different electrical wires when connecting them: red with red, black with black — we don’t want anything to go up in flames!
Electricians are also skilled in renovating outmoded electrical systems. Wiring and devices age over time, and during a renovation project these elements should be replaced by materials that conform to current standards.
The work of electricians is no longer limi ted to supplying power to lights and hea ting devices. They now install cabling for telephones, televisions, alarm systems, com puter networks, and electronic gadgets which require a stable power supply.
Some people like to do their own electrical work in order to save money, but it is never a good idea. Imagine, for a second, that you have lost your home and all its contents in a fire because you messed up an electrical job. It’s just not worth the risk. What’s more, your insurance company could pena lize you because the work was not done by a qualified electrician.

Saturday, July 20 was a day to cel-ebrate for mem-
bers of the Back Coun-try Horsemen Society of British Columbia (BCHBC) and all equine enthusiasts who enjoy trail riding on Vancou-ver Island.
On this day, more than 25 BCHBC members from across Vancou-ver Island, along with an additional 40-plus dignitaries and guests, gathered to celebrate the official grand opening of the Memekay River site of the Salmon Brewster Equine Campsites and Trail Corridor Project near Sayward. BCHBC worked with Recreation Sites and Trails BC in Campbell River to have the first Vancouver Island Crown Land equine-friendly public recreation campsites and trail designated.
“This wonderful facil-ity is an example of what can happen when people have a vision, when they work in a spirit of com-munity collaboration, and they put in hun-dreds of hours of vol-unteer effort in order to see that vision become reality,” said Phil Kent, Mayor of Duncan and a representative of the Island Coastal Eco-nomic Trust (ICET), which donated $40,000 to the $107,000 project.
Other major contribu-tors included the Coast Sustainability Trust ($20,000) and Horse Council BC ($10,000). Significant ‘in kind’ donations were also made by the Minis-try of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations ($27,000) and Western Forest Products, as well as
other suppliers and con-tractors too numerous to list.
The approximately five-acre (two-hectare) Memekay Horse Camp features 11 campsites that are about 70 feet in length to accommodate horse trailers and rec-reational vehicles. Each campsite has two horse corrals, plus there is a group shelter with pic-nic tables. Other ameni-ties include outhouses, manure containment areas and non-potable water for horses. The 1.5 acre (.5 ha.) Brewster Horse Camp is more open camping and has two larger corrals.
The Salmon Brew-ster Trail Corridor — a 40-kilometre trail through working for-est and along historic railroad logging road grades — will con-nect the two campsites. While the campsites are completed and parts of the trail corridor are open, there is still work to be done to upgrade and clear the overgrown trail corridor.
In this region, trail maintenance will be ongoing and managed by BCHBC volunteers.
The project was the dream of retired rancher Rick Phye of Black Creek (formerly
of Sayward) and his rid-ing companion, Gerald Whalley, who is also from Sayward and is now the electoral area director of the Strath-cona Regional District. Over the last five-years, Phye and Whalley have dedicated countless hours to scouting, riding and walking the Salmon Brewster Trail. They have slashed through brush and painstak-ingly established GPS coordinates in an effort to produce trail maps and make it accessible to advanced level rid-ers. The next phase will see trail improvements in order for all levels of riders to be able to enjoy the trail.
John King, past chair of the North Vancouver Island (NVI) chapter of BCHBC explained that Phye was persistent in his efforts to get Back Country Horsemen on board with the project.
“Rick had the vision of turning this area into an equestrian trail and campsite facility to take advantage of the wonderful scenery and opportunities for eques-trian use that this area offers. At first, due to the shear magnitude of the project, we declined his offer...but in 2010 we said ‘Let’s do it!’”
The project was three years in development and included extensive biological and archaeo-logical assessments. In addition to securing various grants, commu-nity support and fund-raising from BCHBC’s North Island Chapter, volunteers dedicated more than 1,100 hours of work, assisting with everything from trail clearing to corral con-struction, grant applica-tions, and much more.
In his congratulatory speech, Duncan MacTa-vish, district recreation officer, Recreation Sites and Trails BC, Min-istry of Forests Land and Natural Resource Operations, recognized the First Nations tra-ditional territory and their support of the project. He also thanked Western Forest Prod-ucts, BC Timber Sales, BC Forest Services, the Agricultural Land Com-mission, and the grazing leaseholders, Mark and Dan Johnson for their cooperation and support of the project.
“The mandate of Rec-reation Sites and Trails BC is to protect, manage and develop recreational opportunities on Crown Land, outside of parks and municipalities and these campsites and
trails are in a ‘working’ forest,” explained Mac-Tavish.
“As such, the 40-kilo-metre trail may change over time but because it designated an official recreation trail, it will always be there and users’ ‘right to ride’ will always be respected.”
On behalf of the 22,000 members of Horse Council BC, representative Susan Harrison, congratulated the BCHBC and other stakeholders for their collaboration, stew-ardship and volunteer spirit. She added with a laugh, “I can see an episode of the TV show ‘Mantracker’ being filmed here!”
Ybo Plante, president of BCHBC provincial, stressed that this project is proof that Back Coun-try Horsemen of BC is ‘more than a riding club.’
“I am very proud of what has been accom-plished here,” explained Plante. “I liken the volunteer and collab-orative effort that has gone into this project to what it takes to have a well-trained horse. It is a step-by-step process that comes together only with a great deal of time, patience and persever-ance.
“That’s what this proj-ect represents.”
One guest, who described herself as a certified ‘horse-aholic’ summed up the sen-timents of all event attendees by saying: “This place is truly a gift. I see it as a symbol of the human spirit working together to create something truly special for fellow ‘horse-aholics’ today and for the future.”

Plans are in place for a second attack on yel-low flag-iris at the Baikie Island Nature Reserve in early August.
The iris is an invasive plant that is also listed as a noxious weed under the BC Weed Control Act and the city is anxious to address the infestation before it gets any bigger.
Yellow flag iris is an aquatic plant that can grow in both saltwater
and freshwater. It spreads by seed and by under-ground stems.
Introduced to North America a century ago as a showy garden orna-mental, the plant has spread widely into natu-ral areas.
Residents are encour-aged to refrain from planting it.
“The iris forms very dense clusters and crowds out the natural
variety of estuary plants. Wh e n b i o d ive rs i t y declines, the whole sys-tem becomes less pro-ductive and the estuary’s ability to support a wide range of wildlife species is negatively affected,” says Ross Milnthorp, the city’s general manager of parks, recreation and culture.
“In the Campbell River estuary, plants on B.C.’s endangered list are at
risk from the spreading iris,” adds Terri Martin, the city’s environmental co-ordinator.
In this year’s iris removal efforts, invasive plant specialists will use a small excavator to dig up the densest infesta-tion areas.
The machine will be walked in on plywood to the far end of the iris patch where the removal will begin.
Ground crews have already cut off as many of the iris seed heads as possible to prevent seed dispersal.
As the iris patches are dug up, soil attached to the plants will be recov-ered by crews, who will also work to salvage native plants. The iris will be loaded into a trailer and disposed of at the dump.
One month after the iris removal, hand hoe-ing will remove any new iris sprouts, and the area will be assessed to determine if replanting with native vegetation is required.
This July, a small patch of iris near the Myrt Thompson Trail was hand-dug over two days by a six-person crew from Strategic Group working under the direc-tion of Greenways Land Trust.
“Strategic have con-tinued to be a great sup-porter of environmental projects in Campbell River, and we were able to collect 1,080 kilo-grams of iris by hand,” says Cynthia Bendick-son, Greenways’ volun-teer co-ordinator.
Also in July and for the second year in a row, yel-low-flag iris flowers were removed from plants in a portion of the ditch along Petersen Road.
“When the ditch is scheduled for mainte-nance, we’ll dig up the iris and landfill it. Until that time, our plan is to ensure that no seeds are allowed to spread the infestation downstream,” says Drew Hadfield, the city’s transportation manager.
“Efforts to control the iris are in line with the city’s recently adopted invasive plant species management policy,” says Coun. Larry Sam-son, who holds Council’s environment portfolio.

The Campbell River Booster Juice Bantam A2 Ravens may have lost a key battle but they worked hard to ensure they didn’t lose the war. The Ravens lost the Island Banner to Nanaimo on July 13 by a score of 8-6. This setback could have been the start of a significant downward spiral as the team prepared for the Provincial Champion-ships but the Ravens coaches kept the team focused during practices at the outdoor lacrosse box before heading to Delta to take on the best in B.C. July 19-21.
The Ravens drew a short-straw, facing Sur-rey in a game starting at 7:15 a.m. on July 19. The team was joined by Kari Martynyk from the Bantam C Ravens, who were eliminated from the playoffs the prior weekend. Surrey came out running and gun-ning as they jumped out to a 4-0 lead by the mid-dle of the second period but a remarkable come-back saw the Ravens win 7-5. Goalie Will McLean was the Ravens game MVP.
With the first game in the books, the team had a long break before playing its second game Friday evening against Por t Mo o dy. Por t Moody started the scor-ing but goals by Quin Nelson, Liam Rivett and a Reilly Doney and Mason Osterhout-Code combination carried the Ravens to a 5-3 win. The game MVP was Nolan Fair.
Everyone got a good night’s sleep and was ready for another early
morning game against Burnaby the next day.
The Ravens flew into the lead as Fair and Doney worked a give-and-go on the power-play with Doney putting a beauty backhand shot into the low corner of the goal.
The Ravens never looked back from there and went on to win 4-3, thanks to a last minute goal. Game MVP was Matt Leard.
The Ravens controlled their destiny to the best of their ability, finish-
ing 3-0 and first in their pool at the end of the round-robin.
Tradit iona l ly, B C Lacrosse Association holds the opening cere-monies before the semi-final games begin. The d iv i s iona l A l l - s t ar award went to Fair for his all-around play and leadership and Jasper Osterhout-Code was presented with the Fair Play award. During the closing portion of the ceremonies, the Ravens learned they were play-ing Kelowna in a semi-
final game in about an hour and a half.
T h e B ant am A 2 Ravens, which began the season in Bantam B and were moved up to the A2 division, quickly got ready for the game.
In the semi-f inal game, Bryce Turko opened the scoring after taking a nice pass from Steve Rickman.
Four goals later and the Ravens were up 5-0 at the end of the first period.

seemed to become very motivated in the dress-ing room between peri-ods and came out hun-gry, scoring two quick goals. But the Ravens
pulled ahead with a power play goal by Lon-tayao. Shortly after this, a Kelowna parent was ejected for having alco-hol in the stands.
T h a t m a y h a v e been the same par-
ent who was taunting McLean. Regardless, Kelowna kept com-ing hard and it was 6-5 Ravens at the end of the second.
But Kelowna’s parade to the penalty box con-
tinued and cost them a coach from their bench. Kelowna had a player in the penalty box and got trying to pull its goalie when Nelson rolled the ball across the goal line into the empty
net – 7-5 Ravens win. Game number four MVP was Mason Osterhout-Code.
In the final game, the Ravens went head-to-head with Richmond.
By the end of the first
period, the score was 5-2 for the Ravens.
Richmond crept a lit-tle closer as a rebound off the end boards hit McLean’s back and spun across the goal-line.
But Lontayao restored
the three-goal lead mak-ing it 6-3 Ravens at the end of the second.
Again on the power play, Rivett put the bis-cuit in the basket to put the Ravens up 7-3.
Unfortunately, shortly after that Matt Leard was injured by an undetected high stick.
The force of the impact was so great that a name-plate came off of the Richmond player’s stick and was found in Leard’s helmet.
Paramedics arrived and took Leard via ambulance to nearby Delta Hospital for assess-ment. Both teams went to their respective dress-ing rooms while Leard was attended to by safety personnel and paramed-ics.
Once play resumed Doney scored another power play goal to make it 8-3 but Richmond responded and got within one, to make it 8-6 Ravens.
In a move born of desperation and pulling out all stops, Richmond called for a measurement of McLean’s pads.
Each team captain, McLean and the referee left the floor and went to the referees’ change room. The leg pads were confirmed to be legal so Richmond was assessed a delay of game penalty.
As time wound down, and with the Richmond goalie on the bench for the extra attacker, Nelson fed the ball to Fair.
The Ravens captain made no mistake as he scored into the empty-net goal to make the final score 9-6 for the Ravens in this gold medal game.
Leard was able to return to the arena and watched the last minute of the game. He was selected Game number five MVP.
A f t e r R i c h m o n d received silver medals, the Booster Juice Ban-tam A2 Ravens were presented with their gold medals. The warrior tournament divisional MVP was awarded to Ravens goalie McLean.
C oach Todd Fair said he was proud of the entire team for its accomplishment and thanked all of its spon-sors and supporters throughout the season.

Cathy Merrithew gets a head start on grooming her dog Niles for the dog show at Nunns Creek Park this weekend.
Kristen DouglasCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
It’s the dog days of summer.
The Campbell River Dog Fanciers Society hosts its 29th annual Canadian Kennel Club dog show this weekend at Nunns Creek Park.
The public is invited, to come out and cheer on their favourite dogs as they go head-to-head to be named best of their breed and at the same time, earn points toward their championship title.
The show is free to the public and features three all-breed championship shows, four rally obedi-ence trials (one each on Saturday and Sunday), and one obedience trial on Monday.
Cathy Merrithew, one of the organizers, said 210 dogs are expected to compete. The judges who will be looking at the dogs’ movement, their coat texture, teeth and body structure, overall balance, as well as attitude and behaviour based on their breed.
The judges are coming from Oregon, Ontario, Alberta, the B.C. Inte-rior and from as close as Duncan. Participants in the show are coming from as far away as Cali-fornia, Oregon, Wash-ington state, Alberta, and the Lower Mainland.
Campbell River’s event kicks off nine straight days of dog shows on the Island (three in Courte-nay and three in Victo-ria), which give serious competitors the chance to finish off their titles within the week. To become a champion, a dog needs 10 points.
Merrithew’s 10-year-old whippet Niles is already a champion but has been unable to com-pete since he was neu-tered.
This year Niles will be able to return to the ring because the Canadian Kennel Club has sanc-tioned a new category – for spayed and neutered breeds.
“We’re pretty excited about that because we have a lot of beautiful dogs that are spayed or neutered,” she said.

The province is invest-ing $200,000 to enable faster, expanded Internet service to people living in the Vancouver Island community of Tahsis.
Now that a new micro-wave broadcast system is fully operational, customers of Conuma Cable will benefit from reliable, uninterrupted Internet service.
Larger files including photos and video can be shared faster, making it easier for businesses and
residents to reach out to clients and loved ones.
Government has worked in partnership with local Internet Ser-vice Provider, Conuma Cable, to see this project through. The Province has invested $200,000 in this project to upgrade the infrastructure to ministry offices and local schools and help pay for a portion of the $400,000 cost to build the new microwave broadcast system. The
other $200,000 has been provided by Conuma Cable, which has built and will operate the system.
The connection is being made possible through a partnership between Conuma Cable and Shaw Communica-tions.
Tahsis’ new microwave Internet link is the first of two going live this summer on Vancouver Island, with the second community’s connection
scheduled to go online in August.
Since 2001, high-speed Internet access has been expanded to communi-ties throughout B.C. with total connectivity in the province increas-ing from 82 per cent to 93 per cent.
The province’s invest-ment in this latest project is another step forward in the govern-ment’s commitment to achieve 100 per cent connectivity by 2021.
Government ponies up $200,000 to get high-speed Internet to Tahsis

Have you ever been walking, running, or
riding trails and noticed that the Beaver Lodge needs a bit of “TLC?”
Now’s your chance to become more involved. Greenways Land Trust, who just signed a trail maintenance agree-ment with the Ministry of Forests in April, is launching an Adopt-a-Trail program in the Beaver Lodge Forest Lands (BLFL).
This program encour-
ages trail users to take ownership and promote our local trails. Many people are already unsung heroes of the BLFL. This is an oppor-tunity for these heroes to gain some recogni-tion and encourage more volunteers to join the recreation com-munity and build trail stewardship.
You may be wondering what you are required to do if you adopt. The mission of the program is “Inspect, Maintain,
Report.” Inspect if there is anything out of place, vandalised, or structures being built when walk-ing your trail. Maintain the trail by keeping it clear of garbage, debris, vegetation and trail brushing with hand tools. Report your activ-ities and observations to GLT.
Your help will ensure that the Beaver Lodge Forest Lands stay healthy, beautiful, and safe! This is a great opportunity for school groups, recreation groups/clubs, youth groups, businesses, fam-ilies or individuals.
It is a one year com-
mitment and they won’t send you out unpre-pared – before starting you will receive a thor-ough orientation and the tools that you may need.
For more information, contact Greenways Land Trust at 205-287-3785 or e-mail [email protected].
You can also find more information online at www.greenwaystrust.ca including a map of adoptable trails and registration form. BC Hydro provided fund-ing for this pilot project through the Community Relations Grant pro-gram.

New volunteer program launches in the Beaver Lodge Forest Lands
These ladies have warm hearts
A local charity branch is making things just a little bit warmer for cancer patients at Campbell River Hospital.
The Campbell River chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star recently made a donation to the hospital library and purchased a blanket warmer for the Cancer Care Department. The library provides resource materials to patients and their families in the treatment and fight against cancer, while a warm blanket helps to provide a sense of comfort and calmness.
From left, Faith Brooks (Registered Nurse, cancer care at Campbell River Hospital), Margaret Sylvester, Eveline Newman, and Valeria Cowie all of the Order of the Eastern Star, and Stacey Marsh, executive direc-tor of the Campbell River Hospital Foundation, with the new blanket warmer that the Eastern Star purchased for the cancer care department at the hospital.
If you love the Beaver Lodge Forest Lands then a new program will allow you take greater care of it.

Campbell River Youth Fest is a free event for kids to see some live, local musicians their own age.
All the performers are Campbell River students who don’t have many venues where they can play live for an audience.
However, on Satur-day, from 3-9 p.m., the downtown Spirit Square will be groovin’ to the sounds of these young and talented performers.
Here’s a taste of the musical line-up:n Andy-Lynn Kreiger
is a 17-year-old singer/songwriter/musician with a powerful voice and a wide variety of influences.n Strange Birds is a
four-piece band that fea-ture beautiful, intricate harmonies.
The members are Jemima Hamilton (vocals, piano, trom-bone), Erin Marsh (ukulele, guitar, vocals), Collin Massie (guitar, vocals) and Mitchell Robertson (bass).n Off to Sea are
three 15-year-olds, Jacob Hutchins, Ayden Garlinski-Gonsky and Josh, who play enjoyable
acoustic rock. They write much of
their own music and have released a demo CD.n Who is Barbosa is
the 2012 Battle of the Bands winner, which led them to record their four-song EP.
The band is made up of Kyell Erickson (lead vocals, guitar), Col-lin Massie (lead guitar, vocals), Jacob Storback (drums), and Mitch Robertson (bass).

With the manuscript finally completed, Cor-tes Island author Ruth Ozeki was in New York City, ready to deliver it to the publisher.
Still, after five years of work, something wasn’t right with the book. Ozeki knew it and sus-pected her editor knew it as well.
It was March 2011, just days before a mas-sive earthquake and subsequent tsunami devastated Japan. The disaster shocked the world and shook Ozeki to the core.
“I suddenly realized that an event of such magnitude…my book was no longer relevant,” says Ozeki, who imme-diately scoured the internet to check on her family and friends living there.
Fortunately, they were okay, but the disaster also erased any thought of turning in the manu-script. In Ozeki’s mind, there’s Japan before the earthquake and Japan after the earthquake.
Her book, revolv-ing around a Japanese girl, was written in the “before” stage so she returned to the “moth-ership,” the home she shares with husband Oliver Kellhammer on Cortes, to begin the rewrite.
The result, released in March, is “A Tale for the Time Being,” a literary achievement now nomi-nated for the interna-tional Booker Prize.
“Long-form fiction is all about patience – in 2011, I knew it wasn’t right. It wasn’t ready,” she says during a phone interview from her Cor-tes home.
Ozeki was born and raised in New Haven, Connecticut, to an American father and Japanese mother. She has strong ties to Japan, and as a student, Ozeki studied, worked and travelled extensively throughout Asia.
In 1985, she returned to New York to begin a career in film and televi-sion production. Ten
years later, she produced “Halving the Bones,” an award-winning auto-biographical film, that tells the story of Ozeki’s journey to bring her grandmother’s remains home from Japan.
Her first book, “My Year of Meats,” pub-lished in 1998, also received awards and accolades from critics. Her second book “All Over Creation” did even better, capturing the 2004 American Book Award as well as the Willa Literary Award for Contemporary Fiction.
When Ozeki wasn’t
writing, splitting time between homes in New York and Cortes, flying off to speak-ing engagements, and regularly practicing Zen Buddhism – she was ordained as a Soto Zen priest in 2010 – Ozeki started thinking about her third book.
It would focus on the life of a Japanese school-girl, but five years later, the manuscript wasn’t nearly what Ozeki had imagined. Perhaps, she thought, her editor could help provide guid-ance or insight.
Instead, the forces of nature took over, caus-ing disaster on one side of the planet and, in a way, creating inspiration for a writer on the other side.
Back on Cortes, Ozeki embarked on the re-write and was also inspired by her hubby who suggested the book be semi-autobiograph-ical.
“I needed to respond to the events in a more direct way, that was not entirely fictional,” she says. “My husband Oliver suggested I put myself in as a semi-fic-tional character…it was the way.”
A Tale for the Time Being tells the story of a woman living on a small West Coast island who finds a package washed up on the beach. Among the items is a diary writ-ten by a Japanese teen-ager 10 years earlier.
The story then weaves back and forth between North America and Japan. A Toronto Star
critic describes the story as one, “that dances in all worlds at once.”
And now, it’s one of 13 books vying for the prestigious Booker Prize. Ozeki feels hon-oured by the recogni-tion, but she’s quick to credit the publishing team at Viking Penguin.
“On the publish-ing side, they work so hard – my editor, the art director, sales – this is an occasion for grati-tude,” she says.
Quick notes
n Ozeki and her hus-band split their time between New York City and Cortes Island where they bought a home in 1997. “I’m happily ensconced in Whale-town writing. This is as good as it gets,” she says.n The author is a big
fan of Words on the Water, the annual writ-er’s festival in Campbell River. “It’s one of the nicest writers’ festivals. They do a great job,” says Ozeki.n Ozeki’s new book
is earning international praise and she’s travel-ling the globe to pro-mote the book. Earlier this month she was in Scotland, in September she flies to Australia for two writers’ festivals, returns to the U.S. that month for a reading series in New Jersey, then flies to another fes-tival in Indonesia, and comes back to the States in October for another speaking engagement at the University of Wis-consin…phew!
The disaster that inspired a literary masterpiece
Cortes Island author Ruth Ozeki is up for the prestigious Booker Prize.

How Heavy is Your Camper?One of my friends stopped to visit last weekend and showed me his truck and camper. You should write about this because people need to know how to be safe he said. He had switched from a one ton truck with single rear tires to one with dual rear tires. It made a big difference in stability and gave him a larger margin between the actual weight and the maximum weight allowed for the vehicle.
He had done his research because he knew that he had to weigh the fully loaded unit and then make sure that the weight on each axle and the total weight could not exceed the amounts shown on the vehicle’s capacity decal. He also knew that there was a maximum weight shown on the sidewalls of his tires and that the axle weights must not exceed the tire capacities.
You can have your vehicle weighed free of charge at any government weigh scale, often at any time of the day, whether the scale is open or not. Simply position the front axle on the scale pad, record the weight, repeat for the rear axle and then add the two � gures for the total. An RV dealer warned me once that camper manufacturers often under reported the unit’s weight and all of the food, water, camping equipment and other supplies added more weight than people realize. Using a scale is the only way to be sure.
Vehicles that fail to obey weight rules will be ordered off of the highway by police or Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement personnel. They must be unloaded suf� ciently to comply before they may proceed again. There is also the possibility of � nes in addition to the removal order.
The author is a retired constable with many years of traf� c law enforcement experience. To comment or learn more, please visit www.drivesmartbc.ca.

Think Pink Salmon
Kristen Douglas/the Mirror
The Pacific Salmon Foundation held its second annual Pink Salmon Festival last Saturday at Robert Ostler Park. Foundation volunteer Larry E. Stefanyk was the driving force behind the festival which celebrates the return of the pink salmon to its spawning grounds and promotes pink salmon as a sustainable seafood choice. Pictured top, Rob Harris (with Robert Nissila and Brenda Harris beside him) serves up some pink salmon to Kristy Ledevehat. Above left, Young Weston Rentz, 14-months-old, was thrilled to find the Campbell River dragon boat team’s drums. Above right, Zazi, Felicia and Christina Tymchyshyn are happy to try out the print making table.
Above, Ralph Shaw, an award-winning outdoor writer and recipient of the Order of Canada, demonstrates fly tying at one of the many booths at the Pink Salmon Festival. Below, Julie Robson of Quay West Restau-rant dishes up some delicious clam chowder.
