One month after an anti-idling policy was deferred for a year by city council, councillors decided to endorse an education campaign aimed at discouraging idling.
The Environmental Advisory Commission put forward a report to council on Tuesday recom-mending city staff educate the public with an aim of promoting anti-idling.
“I’m impressed by the education component,” said Coun. Ryan Mennie. “I appreciate it coming forward as it is. It’s much more attainable and there’s a low dol-lar amount attached to it.”
When the anti-idling report came to council Feb. 1, it involved

The city hesitantly agreed to help the Minor Lacrosse Asso-ciation pay off its lacrosse box construc-tion bill.
The association came to city council last week after running out of money to pay off the contractor and was looking for $97,356 from the city.
On Tuesday, council agreed to foot the bill but some councillors felt torn in making the decision.
“I have to say I strug-gled with this,” said Coun. Claire Moglove. “I’m going to support this reluctantly and one of the reasons why (I’m supporting it) is because the proj-ect went into cost over-runs because of the location and that loca-tion and design was mandated by the city so the city has to take some responsibility.”
During construction, major drainage issues were unearthed. The lacrosse box, which is in Robron Park, is located in an area where water collects because of the way the land is sloped, said Kevin Mills of the Campbell River Minor Lacrosse Association.
Drainage problems, coupled with defec-tive boards and other “extenuating circum-stances” resulted in higher than expected costs, said Mills.
This is the second time the project has gone over the original budget. In January 2010 the association discov-ered that the required drainage system would cost an extra $138,000, of which the city pro-vided $40,000.
To date, the city has contributed $213,285, the federal government provided $226,254 and the community and Minor Lacrosse Asso-ciation raised $134,637 towards the project.
Coun. Roy Grant said he also struggled with the decision to bail out the association but wants to encourage partnerships with the city.
“ I t h i n k w e ’ r e between a rock and a
hard place with this one,” said Grant. “Our city encouraged the lacrosse association to build this in a part-nership with the city. There’s two messages here – the negative message we’re sending is that if an organiza-tion gets into trouble it can run to the city for financial help. The good message is it’s promoting sport for Campbell River youth and it encourages enthusiastic volunteer groups to come to the table with projects like this.”
Coun. Andy Adams pointed out the asso-ciation took on costs – related to the drainage system and electrical service – that the city would have had to bear during other phases of the Robron Park proj-ect.
“At the end of the day there’s tremendous community involve-
ment and tremendous sponsorship and we have a first-class facil-ity,” said Adams. “So I think this is an appro-priate use of funds.”
Mayor Charlie Corn-field agreed and said he is glad to have a lacrosse box back in the community.
“It’s a valuable piece of infrastructure, it was worth the leap on this project. It’s built to our standards and I think we have an obli-gation to cover it.”
The new box includes a score board and shot clock and an Inter-net security system to deter vandals at Robron Park. The facil-ity was built at a cost of $0.46 on the dollar to the city and created over 50 man month’s worth of employment.
The lacrosse season gets underway April 1. Mills said registration is up this year, about 20 to 25 per cent, from
130 kids to between 140 and 145.
Some players got a helping hand from Wal-Mart which recently donated 10 sets of lacrosse gear to the association.

a comprehensive edu-cation campaign and an implementation strategy for an anti-idling bylaw. Council-lors shot it down last month citing more pressing issues, par-ticularly involving the budget, requiring staff time.
It was Coun. Andy Adams who made the motion to put off any discussion surround-ing anti-idling and he was not pleased to see the report back on his desk this week.
“To say I’m disap-pointed to see this come back to council is an understatement,” said Adams. “To see this come back in a matter of weeks but in a lesser form – I’m disappointed. While I don’t disagree with the anti-idling initia-tive I think we have far more important issues to deal with at this time. We have some serious financial issues to deal with. I’m sorry but anti-idling – I don’t want to see this for a year.”
Coun. Roy Grant dis-agreed that the anti-idling campaign would take away from upcom-ing budget delibera-tions.
“I think it’s impor-tant and you can’t
relate it to the serious financial issues coming up. It’s simply an issue of awareness,” said Grant, who was glad to see the report come back, with no bylaw attached. “We pro-mote building green, we have an anti-idling policy for city vehicles, we’ve passed air qual-ity bylaws and this is something I’d like to see go ahead. I was a little disappointed we made the decision (in February) so hastily to defer this for a year.”
Coun. Claire Moglove, who supported Adams’ motion to defer the February report, was more accepting of the new report because it did not involve a bylaw.
“When it came before council before it was the bylaw I disagreed with because it took up staff resources,” said Moglove.
The anti-idling edu-cation campaign also comes at minimal cost and mostly involves incorporating infor-mation regarding air quality related to idling in already existing pro-grams and events such as the city’s woodstove exchange program, Earth Week celebra-tions and Bike to Work Week, according to Peter Woods, chair of the Environmental Advisory Commis-sion. Idle-free signs for parking lots can be obtained free of charge from School District 72
which is working on its own idle-free campaign to eliminate idling in school parking lots.
But Adams said he was more concerned about the use of staff time than the dollar amount attached to the campaign.
“We’re in a very seri-ous fiscal challenge and I’m sorry, even though the dollars are small, if we have staff time to work on this initiative then I think we have our priori-ties backwards,” said Adams.
In the end, the motion to endorse city staff to work on an anti-idling education campaign passed with Adams and Coun. Ziggy Stew-art opposed.

Campbell River may soon have a direct link to China which could help attract investment from one of the world’s largest markets.
The city has plans to twin with a commu-nity in China that has a similar economy and
attributes – preferably a coastal community with a demand for for-est products and fish.
“The twinned com-munity should have something in common with Campbell River,” said Nigel Ross, chair of the Future of For-estry Task Force which has reviewed the idea of twinning with a
Chinese city. “There needs to be opportuni-ties available for both communities to take advantage of in order for a long-term bilat-eral relationship to develop and work.”
With an increasing demand for B.C. wood products, combined with funding from the province earmarked
for twinning opportu-nities, the task force feels now is the time to pursue a partnership with China.
“Task force members felt that any opportu-nity to create economic development opportu-nities with China, for Campbell River, would be positive,” Ross said in the report.

The new age of British Columbia politics has arrived. Christy Clark will soon become the province’s new premier … the second woman to rise
to the position. Anyone remember Rita Johnston?
In case you don’t, she took over the decimated and disgraced Social Credit Party shortly before the voters blasted it into oblivion.
There certainly are some similarities to Clark taking over
the Liberal party, whose leader was forced out by public opinion. The Liberals, however, aren’t quite
as decimated as the Bill Vander Zalm Socreds were. The Socreds were rocked by scandal after scandal involving cabinet ministers and then Vander Zalm himself. Other than sweeping the BC Rail sale deal under the carpet, the Liberals aren’t quite at the same level of scandalous behaviour as the old Socreds were.
That could be the difference that saves Christy Clark from being a footnote in B.C. politics, like Rita Johnston. But it won’t be easy. By going to a third ballot and with Kevin Falcon securing 48 per cent of the points needed to become leader, it’s clear there was no clear winner Saturday night. Only 37.7 per
cent of Liberals had Clark as their first choice for leader while 28.37 per cent had Kevin Falcon as their first pick. The results show that Liberals were, and are, divided on who the leader should be.
There is lots of talk now about keeping the coalition together. It’s the immediate task ahead of Clark. Like the Socreds before them, the Liberals are home to right-of-centre conservatives and to centre-right liberals. That’s the coalition W.A.C. Bennett weaved together and it’s the one Gordon Campbell also weaved back together after Vander Zalm destroyed it. It’s not an easy task.

Good point: HydroFor many people the switching on of a light or the
television is something that is not even given a secondthought. But where that power comes from and howit eventually arrives to your home is no small feat. Itcertainly becomes evident how important electricity iswhen power goes out as a result of a wind storm.
BC Hydro’s goal is to provide safe, reliable power,with minimal social and environmental impacts, in away that maintains our low competitive rates. This isa very difficult balance to achieve yet one we are try-ing to accomplish. BC Hydro would like to provide itscustomers from the Comox Valley to Campbell River,and the surrounding communities, with what it isdoing to keep your lights on. This ranges from powersupply, to substations, to power line system improve-ment projects. All of this prefaced with facilities thatwere largely built in the 1940’s and 1950’s; it is time forregeneration.
The Puntledge River and Campbell River hydroelec-tric facilities combined can easily generate enoughpower to supply the immediate region. Surplus poweris sent South Island and North Island. For the oldestof these facilities, the 126 MW John Hart GeneratingStation, built in 1947, its time has come for replace-ment. For seismic and age concerns, and environmen-tal benefit, BC Hydro is working on the John HartGenerating Station Replacement Project that couldbegin as early as late 2012 and be in-service around
I attended the Community Centre’s 10th anniversary celebration last Friday and was treated to one of the most fascinating artist’s talks I’ve ever taken in.
I was also treated to a surprisingly tasty horseradish cheese that went stunningly well with jalapeno jelly and a cracker. And I’m not a fan of horseradish. In fact, I think I hate it but the cheese worked for me – with the jalapeno jelly, crucially. It was offered as part of the wine and cheese reception put on to mark the 10th anniversary of the Community Centre.
Forgive me for sounding like an oldtimer but I can’t believe it’s been 10 years since the centre replaced the old Community Hall, parts of which were recycled and used around town
in other projects – like the Maritime Heritage Centre.
Not that that had anything to do with the artist talk but it may have contributed to my openness to the deep topic Jim Leishman presented as part of the celebration. He was also part of the Rain and Fire Fes-tival held the next day but, as he confessed, he couldn’t promise that the story he would tell on Saturday would be the same as the one I heard Friday.
Which is too bad if it wasn’t because Leishman was fascinating to listen to. He was there to tell the story of some huge sculptures he had created and the story was captivating. Not normally a sculptor, Leishman had embarked on a sculpting project to explore the essence of intuition. He
deliberately set out to not intellectu-alize or plan the project or be delib-erately clever in his creativity. It had to be totally intuitive.
At one time in the project he tack-led a huge driftwood log with a chain-saw because he wanted to hollow it out. After sawing at it for a while, he stopped, shocked by what he had just done to his piece.
“What was I thinking,” Leishman said.
Then he realized he wasn’t think-ing and given his intent to be com-pletely intuitive, “not thinking” was completely compatible with his approach. And so thoughtlessly gut-ting the piece with a chainsaw was okay, leaving him feeling better about it. It was a delightful moment in the story in which Leishman had taken
us along on his creative journey. His pieces were set up in the dark-
ened Community Centre gym, lit bysome strategically-placed spotlights.My favourite piece was a chunk ofdriftwood out of which Leishmanhad coaxed a whale, an otter, a dog-fish and the front half of a northwestcoast canoe. None of it planned, it allcame out of the wood as Leishmanallowed his intuition to guide hisartistic hand. It was very appealing.
The large piece, a picture of whichI’ve included on page A11, was theone Leishman attacked with a chain-saw. He wanted to be able to get intoit, literally, hence the hollowing out.It would take too long to reproduceLeishman’s story here. Hopefully,he’ll be able to tell it again some-time.

2016/2017. The current scope of the project, estimated at $1.35 bil-lion, is to replace the three 1.8 km pipelines with a tunnel and build a replacement generating station beside the existing sta-tion. The project will allow continued reli-able power supply to the region, and a 10% increase in power gen-erating capacity using the same amount of water.
Transmission lines
deliver the hydroelec-tric power supply to substations around the region. BC Hydro is about to construct a new substation south of Courtenay near Buckley Bay. This project will allow BC Hydro to keep up with load growth and provide better power reliability in the area, including Denman and Hornby. Construction will likely begin next year and is targeted for completion by 2014. The project budget is
around $26 million.For the many cir-
cuits that come out of our substations to eventually deliver elec-tricity to your home or business, for 2011, BC Hydro is planning on $3 M in power line system improvement projects. This ranges from the $1.5 million improvement project on Denman Island, to a $175,000 improvement project on Quadra Island, to a $500,000 project in Gold River. Additional funds are
also being earmarked for hazard tree remov-als to maintain power reliability. These types of improvement proj-ects will continue in 2012 and beyond.
All of this then leads to BC Hydro’s Rate Revenue Application that was filed on March 1. It proposes rate increases of 9.73 per cent per year for each of the next three years, subject to BC Utilities Commission approval. Customers from Comox to Campbell River and
surrounding areas can now see the rationale for these increases given the major funds going to projects in our area. These projects will also bring signifi-cant economic devel-opment opportunities during construction.
For more information on these capital proj-ects please contact me at 250-755-4795 or [email protected]
Sincerely,Stephen WatsonBC Hydro
While the front-page coverage (CR Mirror, 23/02) of the demon-stration in front of MP John Duncan’s office in Courtenay by anglers protesting the continuation of the halibut allocation pol-icy was most welcome, the same cannot be said about the column by Paul Rudan on the same issue.
Other than our agree-ment that commercial halibut quota owners should fish it or lose it, the rest of his opinion piece was consistent with the headline – “half baked.”
Firstly, the correct facts – the recreational
halibut season opens March 1 not March 12 and anglers cannot buy quota, rather they will have to lease it from commercial fish-ermen. More impor-tantly it is apparent that, like John Duncan, Mr. Rudan fundamen-tally misunderstands the issue.
If a) halibut are a common proper ty fisheries resource, as Minister Shea keeps repeating and b) in the absence of a con-servation concern for these prized fish – if there was then there wouldn’t be a 7.65 mil-lion pound total allow-able catch in 2011 - and
c) in the absence of any demonstrated greater economic benefit to Canada derived from allocating 88 per cent of the TAC to the com-mercial sector, why is this policy continued?
Do not for a moment believe that “the real power and deep pockets behind the lobby effort are the lodge owners”. Organizations like the BC Wildlife Federa-tion are central to the protest, support for which is fuelled by the deep-seated anger of its membership about this allocation policy that favours a few at the expense of the overwhelming major-
ity of Canadians.People choose to live
in coastal communi-ties for many reasons, not least of which is lifestyle and, for many, the recreational fish-ing oppor tunit ies available to them as a result of proximity to the sea. While it is true that the major-ity of the recreational halibut catch occurs in the summer months, the ocean is not always rough at other times of the year and the cus-tomary recreational halibut season was Feb. 1 to Dec. 31. Now the predictable oppor-tunity to catch a fresh halibut for the dinner
table throughout most of the year has been removed by privatiz-ing 88 per cent of the halibut resource.
As well, along with the impact on recre-ational halibut oppor-tunity of this policy is the precedent setting nature of it. I hope never to read some “half-baked” rationale by Mr. Rudan as to why recreational fisher-men can no longer go after chinook salmon or prawns or crabs in the winter when the weather and prudent fisheries management allows.

Add dragon boat-ing to the Canada Day weekend’s entertain-ment list.
Campbell River’s two dragon boat teams, the BraveHearts and River Spirit, plan to host their own festival which could attract up to 15 teams from across the Island.
The Dragon Boat Society has approval from the Department of Fisheries to use the Campbell River Estu-ary for the race, which will be a 500 metre sprint.
“This event will market the sport to the community,” said Leslee Samson, society president. “It’s a great opportunity to show
Campbell River what great fun dragon boat-ing is.”
With the race having the potential to bring in more than 300 visi-tors to the community, it’s also an opportunity to showcase the city and its natural water resources, said Sam-son.
The festival is sched-uled for July 3, to run in conjunction with other Canada Day fes-tivities.
The city has given permission for the dragon boat teams to use Dick Murphy Park as a gathering area.
Samson said all teams will have their own tents set up around the park and there will be a marshalling area, likely near the bird watching platform,
across from the play-ground.
Tyee Spit is alsointended to be utilizedas a viewing area.
Campbell River’s twodragon boat teams areopen to all ages andrequire no particu-lar skill developmentwhen starting out, saidSamson.
The teams, which aremade up of cancer sur-vivors, promote cancerawareness and activelycompete at festivalsin the Comox Valley,Port Alberni, Victo-ria, Nanaimo and PortHardy, which held itsfirst dragon boat festi-val last year.
Team River Spiritalso participates inRelay for Life, Run forthe Cure, Cops for Can-cer and the Terry FoxRun.
March 21 is the international day recognizing the events of March 21, 1960, when 69 people were killed in Sharpeville, South Africa for protesting apartheid.
The Walk Away from Rac-ism on Saturday is Campbell River’s way of supporting individuals that experience racial discrimination, where hundreds of Campbell Riv-erites have walked away over the past 14 years – away from racism, toward a more toler-ant and inclusive community. The annual walk is a commu-nity-building event, held in commemoration of the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Dis-crimination.
Rachel Blaney, Executive Coordinator of the Multicul-tural and Immigrant Services Association, credits the event’s success to, “the collaboration of our dedicated community partners support from City of Campbell River since the beginning, and the people of Campbell River who are com-mitted to supporting a diverse community.”
Blaney believes that “as well as making a statement against
racism, participants also enjoy this free family-focussed, community day, full of mul-ticultural entertainment and diversity activities. Campbell River should be proud that it holds the record for the lon-gest standing and most highly attended event of this nature in B.C.”
The event begins at 10:30 a.m. at the Community Centre on 11th Avenue, with a social gathering and live multicul-tural entertainment as well as,
face painting, children’s activi-ties and crafts in Family Place (until 1 p.m).
At 11 a.m., participants head out on the 1 km walk through the downtown core.
“The route is wheelchair and stroller accessible,” says Blaney, “so everyone can par-ticipate. Please bring the whole family.”

Everyone Everyone Welcome!Welcome!
With the inter-est in home grown food
sweeping Vancouver Island, there is a cor-responding desire for beginners to just jump in and join the parade.
The garden-ing guide I rely on is the West Coast Seeds Catalogue. You can order it online or the one nursery here that carries it is Campbell River Garden Centre. The seed company makes it so easy for neophyte gardeners to be suc-cessful right from the start.
The vegetable plan-ning chart for coastal B.C. takes away all the anxiety of what to plant and when to start. For instance you
could be starting your basil indoors now and keep it in potting soil on the kitchen win-dowsill then place it outdoors in June.
The biggest mistake the newbie gardeners can make is chart-ing out too much space. That’s why it is strongly recom-mended to start out with filling a few pots
on the patio or small containers on the win-dow sill.
Another hugely pop-ular concept is Square Foot Gardening.
The idea was origi-nated by Mel Bartho-lomew. If you follow his plan it allows you to grow 100 percent of your harvest in only 20 percent of the
space. The best part is there’s no digging. Just build a 4 foot by 4 foot bottomless box. Lay it down on the existing soil, remove grass and weeds and fill the boxes with a high quality soil mix.
For a family of four he says you’ll need a total of four boxes. He claims that if you follow his directions you’ll have the most sensational gardening experience of your life.
His book is avail-able in the library or go online to his site The Official Site of Square Foot Garden-ing.
For readers asking me to repeat recipes and ideas for small
space gardening please go to my blog at Campbell River Urban Gardener.
All my columns for the past two years are archived in the column to the right of the screen on the opening page. So many readers have exclaimed over the recipe for cooking kale. In fact, you can use the same process on coarse outer leaves left over after prepar-ing beet leaves, broc-coli buds and cabbage heads.
Here’s another idea for turning the much maligned beet root into a delicious treat. This lonely veg is a powerhouse of nutritional value but
it gets passed by when busy people are shop-ping and planning the evening meal. It just takes too long to cook…unless you try my way of producing a succulent steamed beet in 10 minutes.
Take a half dozen medium size beets and cut them crosswise in circles about half an inch thick or less. Melt a good knob of butter and mix with olive oil in a thick bot-tomed frying pan on medium heat.
Cover with a lid and and 10 minutes later you’ll be serv-ing shiny red, juicy, mouth watering beets and with no loss of nutrition as they cook in their own juice.

Factoring in Safety
Few of us like to live life on the edge. We save money for a rainy day, plan ahead in our lives and expect that everything around us has a built in safety factor. If it turns out that an insuffi cient safety factor injures us we expect someone to be responsible for it. So, why do we often choose to impose the thinnest of margins when we drive?
Look around you the next time that you are driving in a congested area. How many people leave a 4 second buffer in front of their vehicle? When stopped at a traffi c light, is there at least a clear vehicle length between everyone that is stopped? Does the accelerator go to the fl oor the instant the light turns green or does the driver do a 180 degree scan of the intersection before they move? Do people signal their lane change and then occupy a safe space made for them by drivers in the adjacent lanes?
These and many other safety factors allow us and those around us to anticipate errors and have the time to adjust for them and avoid collisions. They also permit us to discover unfavorable road conditions and correct for them before they become a problem.
Time, or lack of it, is one of our biggest enemies when we drive. Sometimes we must make instantaneous decisions and a built in safety factor can give us an extra second or two to make that decision correctly. That is, if we are factoring in safety whenever we get behind the wheel.

HOPE BENAVIDEZHOPE BENAVIDEZHope enjoys reading, sewing, and volunteering at her children’s schools. She likes to do lots of walking, which is great because she spends quite some time with the Mirror papers each delivery day.
Hope and family members – Nikki, Levi and mom Lil have been delivering since 2003. They do many routes and make sure papers are out as early as possible. Levi has saved his earnings for a bike and Nintendo. Nikki just likes to spend hers. Though not all were available for our picture, we thank them for continued great service and congratulate them as Carriers of the Month!

Like the Rodney Dangerfields of the insect
kingdom, bees might like more respect.
For thousands of years, wild (native) bees, through the pollination process, have indi-rectly pro-vided people with plants for food and shelter.
Steve Mitchell of Cobble Hill’s Bee Haven Farm says when most people think “pollination” they envision “honey bees,” yet the species was only brought to North America some 350 years ago.
Native bees are solitary creatures that
nest in natural crev-ices in the ground, under tree bark, or in beetle tunnels.
Canada alone boasts about 800 species of native bees. Most
popular of Vancouver Island’s 30 native bee species is the orchard Mason bee (Osmia lig-naria), a small, stout, dark-bodied insect with a metallic blue-
green sheen. Mason bees far
outwork honey bees, performing near-impossible labours in their short four to six-week lives. It’s esti-mated that one Mason bee pollinates 20 to 50 times more plants
than honey bees. However, in recent
years, fully one-quar-ter of North Ameri-ca’s honey bees have been lost to colony col-lapse disorder, attrib-uted to pollen mites, long-distance truck-ing, toxic pesticides and viruses. Conse-quently, native bees must now assume a larger role in pollina-tion of fruit trees and berry shrubs.
Attracting native bees will improve gar-den yields, and plant-ing early-flowering nectar sources, such as crocus and red-flowering currant, will encourage nest-ing and reproduction. Consider planting members of the aster family, including sun-flowers, gaillardia, echinacea and phace-
lia, or aromatic herbs as bee attractants.
Local Mason bee aficionado Jim Dubois refers to these super-pollinators as “harm-less, sweet and cud-dly.” He’s even been bitten by the non-aggressive bee after accidentally squeez-ing one, but the sting, he says, amounted to “little more than a tingle.”
Mason bee houses will draw these gentle, beneficial pollinators to backyards. Wait until the weather warms in early March and a source of pollen appears. Then place the bee block in a dry south-east location, under an eave, at a “head-height” of 5-7 feet, and provide a source of mud for best results. Mason bees can only fly a maxi-mum distance of 300 feet from their nests.
Mason Bee info-session: Sunday, March 20, Campbell River farmers’ mar-ket. Noon – 3 p.m.

We Want to Hear From You
As BC Hydro prepares to mark 50 years of providing British Columbians with clean, reliable electricity, we want to hear from you about how we set the course for a clean energy future. While British Columbians are doing more than ever to conserve electricity, B.C.’s overall electricity use is expected to continue to increase as a result of projected population growth and increased demand in the industrial sector.
Planning for a Clean Energy Future
BC Hydro is inviting communities, stakeholders, First Nations and the public to participate in the upcoming consultation on development of its Integrated Resource Plan.

Wrestlers hit the mats at provincials
Ashley Osachuck capped off a great wrestling season by winning a bronze medal at the provincials.
The Timberline Secondary stu-dent captured gold and silver medals all season long at Island wrestling meets. At the B.C.’s in Abbotsford, she led all Campbell River wrestlers, finishing third in the 60 kilogram (kg) division.
And it was good day all-around for local wrestlers from the middle schools and high schools as eight of the 13 competitors finished in the top six of their weight divi-sions.
“We had the best result in years, and feel that many of our athletes turned a corner,” said coach Jason Kerluck. “We are very excited for Nationals in April and for next
season.”Carihi’s Olivia Carter (57 kg) fin-
ished the first day of competition in the running for back-side semis which she won on Saturday morn-ing and went on to wrestle her way to a third place finish.
Podium finishes, complete with medals, were also awarded to team-mates Emily McIsaac (51 kg) who placed 6th and Justice Janveaux (43 kg) who finished fourth.
Just missing the podium was was Jose Figueroa (84 kg) who had two wins and two losses.
Timberline’s Justin Allard (78 kg) also earned a trip to the podium with a very respectable fifth place finish.
