THE Campbell River Fire Department will be hold-ing its popular annual Open House this Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more see page 15.
THERE will be two Campbell River events this Sunday to mark the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup. For more see page 16.
The Terry Fox Run took place in Campbell River on Sunday and hundreds of people turned out to try the new route; starting at FrankJames Park and doing a five or 10 kilometre loop north along the Rotary Seawalk. Over $7,000 was raised in this year’s event. The first Terry Fox Run was held on Sept. 13, 1981 at more than 760 sites in Canada and around the world. The first event attracted 300,000 par-ticipants and raised $3.5 million.

It’s a place you never want to be but when you are there you are so grateful for it.
Susan St. Paul is from the United Kingdom and is very aware of the hospice movement that started in her home country in the 1950’s.
The first hospice facility opened in London, England in 1967.
Before moving to Campbell River, St. Paul used Hospice in England when her father was dying from cancer.
“It was quite incredible,” she said, “They had daycare and music therapy, respite care for my step mother. My history with my fath-er ended in a nice homey place.”
Campbell River Hospice Society does not have a “homey place”, it has an office, in an office building, with office hours, but it has to vacate the space by the end of October.
The Society is driven to find a home similar to the one St. Paul cherished in her father’s last days.
St. Paul had no idea she was going to need the services of Campbell River Hospice dur-ing a devastating time of her life.
See Hospice on page 8.
The summer September heat wave continued on last week.
In the province 17 heat records were broken on Thursday. Campbell River was one of the record breakers with a high of 29.3 C. The old record of 26.9 C was set in 2007.

A new provincial park on Quadra Island is one step closer to reality after an American forest company has tentatively agreed to sell a chunk of waterfront land to the BC government.
Merrill & Ring, a forestry company based in Portland, Ore., said it has reviewed offers for 395 hectares of waterfront land it owns on Quadra Island and decided to enter into a sales agreement with the government.
The deal would preserve the land as a prov-incial park, linking it with Octopus Islands and Small Inlet provincial parks to form one large protected area.
“We think the sale in this manner, and to the government, is an appropriate thing to do,” said Norm Schaaf, vice-president of Merrill & Ring’s Timberland branch.
The cash deal is for “slightly less” than $6 million, and includes a donation from Merrill & Ring toward the purchase price, Schaaf said.
The government has to satisfy at least one outstanding condition by the end of September to close the agreement, he said. “I have good confidence that they are working their end of it very hard.”
The Ministry of Environment swept in with a last-minute bid in early August to try to acquire the land to prevent it from being logged or developed. Days earlier, Environment Minister Mary Polak had said her ministry needed to find $2 million to afford the pur-chase.
Quadra Island’s 3,000 residents had raised $200,000 toward the purchase, with the local regional government adding $100,000 and the B.C. Marine Parks Forever Society contributing an additional $200,000.
“It’s an absolute win-win for everybody if this goes ahead,” said Jim Abram, Quadra Island’s regional director.
It would be contentious for Merrill & Ring to try to log the land, but the company will be seen as a “good-hearted, good corporate citizen” if the park deal goes through, Abram said.
North Island NDP MLA Claire Trevena praised the agreement.
“Absolutely, it’s good news,” she said.“The fact they have decided they are going
to go with the province is excellent news for the community.”
Trevena praised Polak and the Environment Ministry for “extraordinarily diligent” work in getting to a deal.
The government had a conditional agree-ment to buy the land in 2012, but missed a ser-ies of deadlines to finalize the deal.
“I don’t expect we’re going to run into that roadblock this time,” Schaaf said.
Trevena agreed.“It’d be unlikely it will far apart now,” she
said. “Everyone worked so hard to get to this stage.”

In some cases you don’t have to do what a Judge tells you to do, and this has become evident in the case of Traigo Andretti.
Andretti, 37, is charged with first degree murder in the death of his wife, Jennifer McPherson, 41, and ‘improper-ly or indecently interfering with or offering an indignity to a dead human body’. The couple lived on Hanson Island south of Port McNeill where they worked as caretakers at the Hanson Island Fishing Lodge. McPherson went missing May 1 and her remains were found a week later.
Andretti has been incarcerated in Victoria since his arrest in May and has appeared in court in Campbell River, either in person or via video link, about every three weeks since his arrest. In that time he has struggled with obtain-ing a lawyer to represent him.
In his third appearance in early June, Andretti was being represented by law-yer Roxanne Helm of Green and Helme in Victoria. Three weeks later Helme
quit, telling the Campbell River court that she could not defend Andretti.
Since then Andretti has not had a lawyer despite being told he is not doing himself any favors by rejecting legal representation.
Andretti appeared in court on Aug. 26, without a lawyer, but he told the court he had spoken to a lawyer.
“The lawyer advised me of my options and the consequences and I want to plead guilty,” said Andretti.
An hour later, given Andretti’s position, the case was moved over to Supreme Court, which was in session in a neighbouring courtroom, for an unrepresented Andretti to proceed to trial. Andretti flip-flopped, telling the judge he was going to plead not guilty and would have a lawyer for the next hearing.
Andretti appeared in Supreme Court via video link on Monday. He did not have a lawyer. He told Judge J. Harvey he will not have a lawyer and waives the right to a Preliminary Hearing.
The matter will return to court Oct., 21 when a date will be set for the trial.
They might return fire dam-aged properties to their pre-loss condition but Griffin Restoration’s company van is a write-off follow-ing a dramatic fire noon hour on Monday.
The company was working at the fire damaged White Hat Cleaner’s site in the 600 block of 11th Avenue when smoke was spotted coming from their 2012 Ford van which was parked in the alley behind the store. A fire extinguisher was used as was a small garden-type hose to
try to contain the blaze to no avail.The van was soon engulfed in
flames and spewing black smoke into the sky. The fire was so close to the White Hat Cleaner’s building that their sign melted.
The situation left an eerie feel-ing with onlookers who recalled the disastrous fire that incinerated the White Hat Cleaner’s store June 22.
Fire crews arrived and were able to stop the fire from spreading.
An investigation will be con-ducted by ICBC.

DENIM TO SUITSFOR THE QUALITY MAN
The Campbell River & District Chamber of Commerce has announced Cyriel DeBruyne, General Manager of Quality Foods, as the recipi-ent of the Governors Award for the 2013 Business Awards of Distinction. This announcement comes days before the Chamber’s annual Business Awards of Distinction event on Saturday, Sept. 21 at the Tidemark Theatre.
The Governors Award is presented by the Chamber’s Board of Directors and honours a business person (current or retired) who displays a significant commitment to the success of both their business and the community as a whole; demonstrates business leadership and vision; and serves as a positive role model or mentor for other business people in the community.
“We are pleased to honour Cyriel and all that he exemplifies in his characteristics that embod-ies leadership and positive change in the com-munity,” stated Mike Boulet, Chamber Board Chair.
Cyriel started with Quality Foods in Comox March of 2000 as a Dairy Manager and in four years he worked his way up to Store Manager and transferred to Campbell River in September of 2004 to open the Merecroft Quality Foods.
“The very first people to befriend me in Campbell River were the Chamber of Commerce. It was through the Chamber that we were able to first get the word out in the community that Quality Foods was here and was going to become a community leader,” stated Cyriel.
A true community champion Cyriel brought the Festival of Lights to Campbell River for the Canada Day celebration in 2005. Over the last nine years Quality Foods has contributed over $200,000 towards this great Campbell River fam-ily event.
“In 2006 I joined the board of Directors for the Chamber of Commerce as a director. I was on the board until 2009, leaving as Vice Chair.
Today, I still believe and support the Chamber’s work in ensuring a positive and business friendly environment to support our local economy,” com-mented Cyriel.
A successful business leader, Quality Foods was named the Large Business of the Year at the Business Awards of Distinction in recogni-tion of their positive business growth, excellent customer service and outstanding commitment to quality and the community. And, In 2008 the Campbell River Quality Foods won gold for store of year in Canada at the Canadian Federation of Independent Grocers in Toronto.
It was Cyriel that came up with the idea to lose 50 pounds in 75 days to raise money for the Campbell River SPCA. He called his fundraiser “Pounds for Hounds”. Cyriel collected pledges of over $300 per pound and raised more than $17,500 – a provincial record that still stands today.
“I enjoy fundraising and organizing events in Campbell River because it allows me the oppor-tunity to give back to the community that has given so much to both Quality Foods and myself.”

The only refuge is in humility, an utterly convinced, completely self-effacing humility before the complexity of truth and the even greater complexity of human nature, in the solemn certainty that complete impartiality and complete honesty are beyond the power of man, no matter how he may strain for them. In this there is a measure of help towards the proper balance of head and heart and law that yields a fair decision. - Roderick Haig-Brown
Campbell River Courier-Islander Wednesday, Sept. 18, 2013 6
Our View
The annual Tyee Club of British Columbia tournament came to an end Sunday. A lot of great things happened this year, Mike and Richard Gage’s 61.5 pound tyee, Randy Killoran’s and Gord Gerl’s 38-pounder on the last day being just two of them.
I will, however, remember this season for one look of horror on the face of a very good friend and workmate here at the Courier-Islander.
It was to be Paul Somerville’s second tide of the season and he hopped eagerly into my rowboat with his high-school-grad son Freespool (aka David). Paul had operated my outboard motor on the previous outing and did very well. His son Freespool, however, had inadvertent-ly let line out with the reel’s freespool switch on. The rat’s nest that developed in the reel forced me to put the oars to the side, cut about a million miles of line off my reel and then completely re-string the rod. It happens, in Tyee fishing, with the best of them.
And it was Freespool who worried me that second night. I would, with a down-turned eyebrow, keep a wary eye on that lad, I thought. Paul started the motor. As some outboards are wont to do, it started and then revved up slightly. I motioned to Paul to throttle down before putting it in reverse. Paul, nod-ded, and instead put it in reverse before throttling down! The propeller kicked up
and out of the water. The engine casing bumped Paul in the back, as it lurched forward. Thankfully we were still secured to the dock with the bowline.
In the ensuing seconds Paul knew he had to throt-tle down. But for some strange reason he throttled up, opening the engine to full. The propeller tried to be a helicopter and lift us to the sky. It broke the quiet of the Tyee Club dock with a riot-ous buzz of an airborne outboard motor propeller. Even in that alarming state, Paul had the presence of mind to press the kill switch. The engine died. I started breathing again, told Paul to calm down, and after a few minutes, asked Paul to start the engine again and make sure to keep the throttle low.
“Sorry about that,” he said. “I’ve got it now. Went brain dead there for a second.”
As the engine started I freed the bowline from the dock and immediately realized with dread that we were pull-ing away from the dock at an alarming speed, in reverse, and right towards the shore! I yelled to Paul of the danger and he nodded knowingly. Then, for some inexplicable reason, he throttled up! The boat leapt towards its deathbed, doubling
its speed, propeller-first, right towards the rocky shoreline 30 feet away.
It was then that Paul’s face froze in time in a look of horror. But the look of horror on his face suddenly turned to a, well, contemplative look. He was staring at the floor of the boat, deep in thought. Like the sculpture of the The Thinker, he sat there, the outboard roaring in
his ears, me yelling, “Kill switch! Kill switch! For the love of God, the kill switch!”
He didn’t even look at me or at the onrushing shoreline. He didn’t move. He sat there, staring at the floor of the rowboat as if there was some fascinating item there that completely absorbed him.
Freespool giggled nervously.Everyone on the dock was watch-
ing, holding their breath, waiting for the crunch of propeller on rock. I tried to brace myself and thought of warning Paul and Freespool that if the collision threw us into the water, that propeller might still be going and the danger was very real of serious injury. But there was no time. I gripped the gunnels, leaned back and braced my legs. The water shallowed quickly and our speed increased to maximum. It was over. The
Fat Lady of the Sea was just about to start singing.
Freespool giggled nervously again, only louder.
Just when I thought all was lost, Paul suddenly turned back to the motor, his whole bearing was as if he had just found a winning lottery ticket beneath his seat. He turned the motor’s throttle handle hard to the left. The rowboat turned on a dime. The propeller kicked up bottom sediment before heading back to deeper water. I was sitting in the bow as it swung in, like a tuber being pulled by a speedboat. The bow just brushed the shallows and Paul steered that Tyee boat, from inside the Tyee dock, out and around into the deep, safe waters of the Campbell River estuary. In reverse!
He revved the engine down. Put it in neutral and said, “Sorry about that Neiler. Kind of went brain dead there for a moment.”
Freespool giggled again and said something like, “That was cool. And Dad, about that lecture the other night about paying attention to Neil and his gear? What do you have to say now?”
Paul mumbled something. I’m not sure what he said. Although it was imparted contritely.
I made a mental and physical note of adding another tackle item to my Tyee fishing gear for next year. And it totally Depends on who I am guiding.
Putting a different spin on Tyee fishing
They say Columbine changed everything.The massacre at the Colorado high school on April 20,
1999 led to sweeping changes in school safety and in hand-ling crises.
Ten years before, though, The Ecole Polytechnique mas-sacre (aka Montreal Massacre) resulted in the gunman, Marc Lepine, shooting 28 people before killing himself.
There are dozens of other massacres that have occurred in Canada and the United States that may have triggered better school safety and better police response, but certainly nothing has been done to get the fingers off the triggers of what are essentially combat style weapons.
As a result, nobody can go to school, the mall, a block party, a shopping mall, the movies or even their own mil-itary base and be certain their loved ones won’t be on CNN in a few hours memorializing them.
And you might be surprised at how many shooting mas-sacres have actually occurred in our country.
Senseless violence has become a shockingly regular part of modern life. And every time there is a massacre, polit-icians come on TV and promise they will do something to stop this kind of thing from ever happening again.
But it does happen again.But it’s not just a gun control issue. There needs to be a
broader conversation about people with mental health prob-lems and how to keep them and us safe.
Whether or not someone is trying to do the martyrdom thing, settle a score, or make a political statement, if they take a weapon and blow away innocent men, women and children, they are not sane. And currently neither are the systems put in place to protect us.
It’s not just agun control issue

I see that the SPCA has hired a new manager. Sadly on the surface it seems that they have opted to continue the same culture that got them into trouble in the first place.
I hope that it is not the case and she will bring a new approach along with a strong commitment to animals
In a related matter council has approved
a new animal control bylaw without bene-fit of public input.
If given the opportunity we would have pressed for a limit of numbers of dogs allowed on a property rather than the wide open approach as present. Surely three or four dogs are enough not up to 20 all barking at once.

Hospice from page 1.“My current situation, unfortu-
nately, four years ago this October my 28 year old son was killed in a car accident,” she said. “He was on the Alaska Highway at the wrong place and the wrong time and I do believe it was fate. He was the only occupant and hit by a semi trailer in icy road conditions.”
“I was devastated, paralyzed with grief, and I didn’t know what to do,” said St. Paul. “I thought hospice was just for people who are dying, as most people think. But then I found the Memorial Garden at Rotary Park and thought, well maybe, I can place a plaque there for my son. I called, they said okay, and I happened to ask for any referrals to grief support. I was put in touch with a grief counsel-lor and I met with him, still so raw in my grief and he was wonderful. Through that service I got to meet everyone and saw everything they do there at Campbell River Hospice, all the free services.”
St. Paul now volunteers for Hospice as a way to give back for the services she received.
She said that the message must get out about what hospice does.
“It is not just about dying,” she said. “It’s about survivors, compas-sion, dignity, patient care, and family care,”
“Every single one of us is touched by death and it is especially worse for people who have no one else around,” she said. “Hospice services will be there for each and every one of us at some point in our lives. We need to
support them now so they are there for us when we need them.”
St. Paul said that Campbell River Hospice Society must have their own home.
“They can set their own hours, no restrictions like in a hospital, they can offer more services to everyone and they would not have to worry anymore about being tenants and having to move. Daycare, even, is so important because it gives the care-givers a respite and it takes such a toll on a family, and dying can take months or years sometimes.
“Dying is a different kind of care. There is a difference between caring and curing.”
“I don’t know what I would have done without hospice,” she said. “ It is so ironic the people there have a love of life and in sad circumstances still can be upbeat, have a sense of humor.”
“We need to find someone in Campbell River who can champion us,” she said. “There is a lovely home for the Head Injury Society on Dogwood. If hospice had a home they could embark on pet therapy, gardening, flowers, in a peaceful set-ting.
“Imagine if everyone in the com-munity gave five dollars, we would have the down payment we need ($80,000) to obtain our own home. What is better, a cup of coffee, a bottle of wine, or cigarettes for the day versus donating that money to go straight into a home for the com-munity?”
Sadly, this is the last photograph, at right, taken with mother and son, visiting Fort Nelson in June, 2008. Susan St. Paul’s son, Brian Fort, was killed in a tragic car accident four months later on the Alaska Highway. The loss of her son sent her into paralyzing grief. Campbell River Hospice was there to help her come to terms with her loss.

It is 1794, the height of the French Revolution, and Charles Hayden sets off aboard the ill-fated HMS Themis with orders to destroy a French frigate sailing from Le Havre. But the enemy has been lying in wait for him, and so begins a dangerous chase out into the Atlantic, and into the clutches of a powerful French squadron.
Comox author S. Thomas Russell will discuss the latest book from his
popular seafaring series about Charles Hayden, “Take, Burn or Destroy”, at the Campbell River Library on Thursday, Sept. 26 at from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Fans of naval adventure will enjoy this, and copies of the bookwill be available courtesy of Coho Books. Everyone is welcome to this free event.

Kids who love art and nature will love ‘Painting with Nature’s Found Objects’ – an upcoming class at the Campbell River Art Gallery.
The class, for children aged
seven to 12, takes place over two sessions, Wednesdays Sept. 18 and Sept. 25 from 3 to 5 p.m. Led by artist and instructor Perry Johnston, participants will learn leaf
and rock painting using acrylic paint and acrylic inks. The course will focus on line and design elements, using traditional patterns to create original works of art. Children will create their design on paper, and then proceed to painting details on rocks and leaves. They’ll fin-ish the projects by seal-
ing with spray, attaching mag-nets or creating a dried flower arrangement.
The cost for ‘Painting with Nature’s Found Objects’ with Johnston is $27 for members of the Campbell River Art Gallery and $37 for non-members. All supplies are included. All Children’s and Teen Autumn Classes are gen-erously sponsored by Tom and Koko Pallan.

There are some changes to BC Hydro’s Campbell River hydroelectric operations this month and next as they follow the new water use plan. This includes a one-day doubling of the river flow to prepare for the anticipated fall rains and to provide salmon with good access-ibility to spawning habitat within the Campbell River, and a new series of fish migration flows down Elk Falls Canyon to facilitate chinook and coho access to spawning habitat up to Elk Falls.
BC Hydro asks recreation users to please be cautious with the upcoming higher river flows.
Each Tuesday and Wednesday, starting Sept. 17 and 18, for nine consecutive weeks end-ing Nov. 13, BC Hydro will increase the water release down Elk Falls Canyon from 4 m3/s to 7 m3/s. The water increase will happen overnight, and river safety advisory signage will be placed upstream of Elk Falls. The migration flows down the canyon earlier this year targeted steel-head, and this flow release is targeting spawning salmon to access holding pools and gravel beds below the falls.
Since the 1990s, on September 15, BC Hydro would begin to increase the discharge out of the John Hart Generating Station from about 40 cubic metres per second (m3/s) to about 100 m3/s over a two week period. The new licence allows the increase to occur over one day and BC Hydro will move from the current river flow
of 37 m3/s to about 80 m3/s on September 22. The river flow will begin to increase that day at 11:00 pm and reach the targeted higher flow by the morning of September 23. The riverbed is fully covered with water at 79 m3/s so this will provide for good chinook spawning.
Pushing out the higher river flows by a week provides an added period of excellent river accessibility for the pink salmon fishery.
BC Hydro is not yet going to the full 100 m3/s range out of consideration for the dry weather forecast. It is likely the higher river flow will be achieved in October.
The Upper Campbell Reservoir/Buttle Lake is currently at 218.4 metres and is currently forecast to be around 217.6 metres by the end of the month should the weather forecast hold. BC Hydro will adjust operations as needed to the weather conditions. They typically like the reservoir below 218 metres by October. BC Hydro’s focus this fall will be on flood risk management and a close watch for any incom-ing large storm systems.
BC Hydro modified its Campbell River hydroelectric operations in January based on the significant consensus-based input from First Nations, agencies and stakeholders to ensure that water resources met a range of social, rec-reational, environmental, operational and finan-cial objectives.

As former president of the BC Government and Service Employees’ Union (for 14 years), John Shields is well-known in BC as a union activist and political figure. He is recognized internationally as a labour leader and advocate for win/win bargaining. However, another side of him is much less known, and is revealed in his memoir The Priest Who Left His Religion: in pursuit of cosmic spirituality.
Born in New York City, Shields was ordained as a Catholic priest in Washington D.C., where he worked with Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement. He taught popular theology in Canada and the U.S., but left the church and moved to BC in 1969.
In his memoir, he reveals his disillusion-
ment with the Pope’s betrayal of scientific insight into the Bible, and the torment of his decision to leave the priesthood and the church. One of the key points of disagreement is the church’s teaching on original sin, a con-cept adopted from St. Augustine, but which, according to Shields, puts sin at the centre of religion instead of a message of love.
He also describes his struggle to make the shift from religion to spirituality, during which he uncovered an inner mythology oper-ating in his subconscious, which intensified his search for a higher consciousness.
Shields will speak about his controversial book The Priest Who Left His Religion at the Campbell River Library on Friday, Sept. 20, from 2 to 3 p.m. For more information, please call the library at 250-287-3655.

How to prepare your yard for winterChanging seasons can be tough on a lawn. Always exposed to the
elements, lawns can fare especially poorly upon the arrival of winter, a season known for its harsh and unforgiving weather. Even the most perfectly manicured lawn can suffer at the hands of winter weather, causing homeowners to sit idly by and hope spring arrives that much sooner.
But as punishing as winter weather can be on a lawn, homeowners are not without recourse. Much like homeowners can take steps to help their lawns survive sizzling summer heat waves during the warmer months of the year, they also can take steps to help their lawns make it through the often stormy weather synonymous with winter.• Don’t procrastinate. Putting off the process of winterizing a lawn can put that lawn in jeopardy. Lawns will turn dormant the closer you get to winter, and they may reject the nutrients found in fertilizer as a result. Those nutrients will prove valuable once spring weather returns, so start the winterization process in early fall so the lawn has suffi cient time to absorb nutrients and strengthen itself for the seasons to come.• Treat trouble spots. Summer can be even harder on a lawn than winter, especially for those lawns located in regions where heat waves and drought are common. In such instances, certain spots on the lawn seem to be hit harder than others, and those spots should get special attention when winterizing the lawn. Check the soil’s pH levels before fertilizing or applying any treatments. Such a test will reveal which spots need the most attention, and treating trouble spots now will make spring lawn care that much easier.• Aerate the property. Aerating can help a lawn recover after a long summer and help it survive the potentially harsh months that lie ahead. Aerating, which involves puncturing the soil or removing cores of soil from the ground, can restore a lawn to health by improving its drainage and allowing more water and air to reach the roots of the grass. Aerating also makes it easier for nutrients to penetrate the soil, which encourages a healthier lawn over the long haul. Aerators can be purchased or rented, but homeowners uncomfortable with the process may want to enlist a professional to tackle the job. Parents of small children who spend lots of time in the yard may need to aerate their lawn more than most, as heavy lawn traffi c compresses the soil, a potentially harmful process that can be reversed via aeration. • Take steps to strengthen the roots. Aerating promotes stronger roots, but homeowners might also want to fi nd a winterizing product with potassium and phosphorous, both of which can strengthen roots. Different types of lawns will respond differently to certain winterizers, so discuss your options with a lawn care professional who can help you fi nd the right fi t for your property.• Remove debris from the lawn. Debris left on a lawn over the winter can prove very harmful. Piles of debris left scattered around a lawn can suffocate the blades of grass, leading to long-term damage and a potentially unsightly lawn come the spring. In addition, piles of debris might make good homes for organisms that can damage the lawn. As fall moves into winter, periodically remove all debris, including leaves and branches fallen from trees. • Make the lawn off-limits once the temperatures dip below freezing.A lawn should be off-limits once the ground freezes. Stepping on grass that has frozen will leave noticeable footprints, and walking on frozen grass can kill the turf. When winter arrives, people should avoid using the lawn as a shortcut into and out of your home and stick to driveways and sidewalks instead.

services, we’d like to you to

The owners and staff of Odyssey Computers have always believed that customer service is their number one prior-ity. To this end, partners Sue Johnson, Don Andrews and Dave Shook have built their business into one of the most well respected full service computer stores on the North Island.
“I started the business in 1987,” said Sue. “At the time, my brother was the manager of the Victoria Odyssey store, and he approached me about opening a satellite business. With my husband’s help, I started selling out of the basement of our home. I put small ads in the news-paper, and six months later we were outselling most of the other Odyssey stores on the Island.”
She laughs when recalling the computer items from the 80s. “Dual 5.25 inch fl oppy drives, 12-inch monitors with green and yellow lettering – and how big a deal it was when white text (lettering) came in.”
Now in their 27th year in business in Campbell River, their focus is the same as it was in 1987…deliver computer solutions to their customers in a friendly, knowledgeable manner and at competitive prices.
“As the world of computers has evolved, our main focus has always been on service,” said Sue. “We treat our cus-tomers the way we would like to be treated, with patience and respect. There is no high pressure, no unnecessary upgrades, and no hardware overkill. We ask the right questions that allow us to customize a computer system to fi t the client’s needs and budget.”
Odyssey’s experienced technicians are profi cient in all areas of computer service, from virus removal in their full service shop, to setting up a server and network at a client’s offi ce. They strive to make each customer’s expe-rience easy and affordable by offering the lowest in-shop and on-site labour rates on the North Island.
And it doesn’t stop there. Odyssey’s commitment to its clients is ongoing, including a weekly Tips, Tricks and Traps newsletter that provides information about industry innovations, computer scams, and useful websites.
“We enjoy the satisfaction of seeing it all come together – we’re proud of doing a job right,” said Sue.

Want a chance to climb the 75-foot fire truck ladder, cut open cars and hose down flames?
The Campbell River Fire Department invites everyone to its annual open house event this Saturday.
“Last year’s open house was very well attended, with hundreds of people showing up and trying differ-ent activities. Cameras were clicking constantly for four hours,” says Fire Chief Ian Baikie. “This year, we’d like even more people to get a chance to see how we respond to emergen-cies and to learn about fire safety and prevention.”
During the open house, fire crews will demonstrate how they rescue people trapped in crashed cars, and how they prepare to hose down a
house fire. The fire trucks will be open for people to view, with fire-fighters available to explain how the equipment works. People will also have hands-on opportunities to try firefighting and emergency-response skills like climbing the fire truck lad-der, using a fire hose and fire extin-guisher and cut-ting vehicle parts with hydraulic tools.
For people who’ve worked up an appetite, a barbecue will also be part of the event. Proceeds will support Cameryn’s Cause, a non-profit soci-
ety in Campbell River that provides financial assistance to local families with sick and injured children.
The open house will take place between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 21 at the No. 1 Fire Station, located at 13th Ave. and Dogwood St.

In recognition of National Forestry Week (Sept. 22-28), North Island Employment (NIEFS) invites you to attend the Forestry Employer Forum on Friday, Sept. 27 from 9-11 a.m.
As one of the largest employers on the North Island this is your chance to find out about jobs in the indus-try directly from representatives from Strategic Group; Holbrook Dyson Logging; and North Island College Trades and Technology program.
Did you know that NIEFS posted 452 forestry and nat-ural resource management related jobs from September 2012 – September 2013? That is an increase of 35 per cent over the previous year. With an aging demographic, recovery in the housing market and increased demand for BC’s natural resources from overseas, the forestry indus-try is in need of workers.
To register for the Forestry Employer Forum call NIEFS at 250-286-3441. The forum is being held at our WorkBC Employment Service Centre at 870C 13th Ave.

Behind the scenes regulators and lobby groups are locking horns over the way in which most Canadians cur-rently pay for financial advice and the future of embed-
ded fees.What’s an embedded fee?
It’s a fee you don’t see. For most, it’s the cost of own-ing mutual funds but it also extends to other investments.
Mutual funds charge fees to manage your investments. Part of the fee is paid to manage theinvestments (management fee) with another part (trailer fee) paid to the dealer and advisor for servicing. Fair enough.
The problem with this approach? You don’t ever get a breakdown of how much you are paying, a breakdown of who gets what or an alternative.
The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) has been seeking comments on their discussion paper 81-407 which includes a proposal to enlighten consumers. If minimum standards are imposed expect much more detail on what you are paying to own mutual funds and more comprehensive reporting on actual returns in both dollar and percentage terms.
Transparency is always a positive step and for those of us who have largely moved away from embedded fees we’re already positioned for this inevitability.
But, how far will the CSA go? There is also plenty of debate about whether banning trailing fees altogether and forcing companies to bill consumers directly will be implemented.
Many industry lobby groups suggest that a major re-work of how the industry is compensated will have unintended consequences and affect a large percentage of the investing public. They argue that the small investor will be caught in the middle and not have access to the same advice and services they’ve come to expect. They argue it’s unfair to only target mutual funds and that already improved disclosure documents and many of the changes being sought are already coming to fruition due to market forces.
The industry itself seems united on the fact that they are not against the present third party compensation paid by mutual funds to their dealers and advisors. They pri-marily differ on transparency and reporting requirements. However, the CSA and consumer lobby groups are trying to balance industry concerns with the rights of a large percentage of investors who have limited understanding of an increasingly complex financial landscape.
Regardless of what changes are imposed, neither the status quo or potential new reporting regulations are going to be a panacea in helping Canadians retire any earlier.

The Winds of Change
Every September, tens of thousands of Canadians band together through the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup to fight shoreline litter, a key threat to our waterways. A conservation initiative of the Vancouver Aquarium and WWF, the Shoreline Cleanup is the lar-gest direct action conservation program in Canada.
This year marks the 20th Anniversary of the Shoreline Cleanup. Over its history, the Shoreline Cleanup has mobil-ized more than 500,000 individ-uals across Canada to help keep rivers, lakes and oceans healthy for the communities and wild-life that depend on them.
By removing shoreline lit-ter from rivers, lakes, and beaches participants in the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup are helping prevent animal entanglement, water contamination and dangers for water-based activities such as boating and swimming. Over its history, the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup has helped to remove approximately 1.2 mil-lion kilograms of shoreline litter – the approximate weight of 259 school buses.
The 2013 Shoreline Cleanup runs from Sept. 21-29. Here are a number of local events being run by different school and scouting groups, as well as events open to the public par-
ticipation.One event welcoming vol-
unteers is the cleanup of the shoreline of the Quinsam and Campbell rivers. It is being run by BC Parks and the Campbell River Environmental Committee (CREC) and takes place on Sunday, Sept. 22 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Volunteers are to meet at the Comox (TimberWest) logging bridge on Hwy 28, and contact Leona Adams, President, CREC on 250-287-3506 or [email protected] for more details.
The Discovery Passage Aquarium’s event will focus on cleaning up the beach and area around the marina and Maritime Heritage Centre. This event starts at 10:30 a.m. Sunday, and volunteers of all ages are encouraged to come and help prevent more trash from enter-ing the ocean. The aquarium’s cleanup is accompanied by the creation of a garbage sculpture by local ‘upcycle and recycle artist’, Laurie Taylor, from Quadra. Different groups will be contributing their garbage to provide plenty of inspirational materials for Laurie’s creation, which will be recycled/disposed of properly at the end of the weekend. Contact the aquarium on 250-850-0099 or [email protected] for further information.
Artist Laurie is passionate
about trash and loves to create with the ‘Power of R’ (rethink, renew, revive, reduce, reuse, recycle, and recover). She is drawn to creating unique, original artwork from what others throw away and lives by the motto of “one per-son’s junk is another person’s treasure”. Constantly inspired by nature and her love of keeping it beauti-ful, Laurie can usually
be found exploring on one of the many beaches in the area, always carting away bags of trash to turn into another one of her masterpieces.
Typically garbage bags, gloves, water and refreshments are provided at cleanup events. To learn more about the cleanup program, find local events, or to register for organizing your own cleanup, please visit ShorelineCleanup.ca.
Do not forget that the aquar-ium closes for the season on Sept. 29. They will reopen in May.

Give, But Give WiselyIt is good to give to charity, but we should do our homework before giving our money away. Giving to a poorly-run charity is tantamount to lining the pockets of unscrupulous hucksters. Even well-meaning charities sometimes run afoul of the basic guidelines for a well-run charity. Charity Watch (charitywatch.org) rates national charities, and in their view, a well-run charity should have at least 60% of their operating expenses going to charitable programs, and preferably at least 75%. Charity Navigator, another organization which rates charities, recommends that you be proactive in your giving (i.e., avoid knee-jerk reactions), avoid charities which are not transparent, and be careful of charities whose names may sound like reputable charities but are not. Charity Navigator even has a Top Ten list of best practices for savvy donors. By all means, give to charities, but do it in such a way that your money has the most bang for your buck. — Christopher Simon
“But since you excel in everything, in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in the lovewe have kindled in you,see that you also excel inthis grace of giving.” 2 Corinthians 8:7

Special to the Courier-Islander
Arelene Lihala and Jennifer Olsen, embarked on a “Bike For The Children” Tour from Spirit Square to Victoria Inner Harbour, on Aug. 3-4.
The commitment to train their bodies and mind to master biking 265 km was all for The Children at Chikondi One Heart Angels Orphanage in Africa. The goal to raise $8,000 for food, health care, education and is urgently needed for their healthy growth is our focus.
The day arrives we were feel-ing very excited to master our goal, pushing our bodies to the limit. We arrive at Spirit Square at 7 a.m., our bikes are tuned up, off we go, waving goodbye, thinking of the (orphanage) children...love them all!
Riding along the ocean on the old Island Hwy hearing the waves hit the beach and enjoying the view was so beautiful and amazing. Wow, the weather is very hot, need to keep hydrated and thank goodness for the food from Healthway. First day we bike from Campbell River to Nanaimo, 150 km! We made it, the half way mark, stopping for food and sleep. Were up early the next mor-ning, legs feeling a little sore but its very important to eat a health break-fast and keep going on our journey.
Leaving Nanaimo at 9 a.m. our goal is to bike 115 km and reach Victoria. First hill was very steep our concentration needs to be laser sharp. Wow, many hills long and steady, so happy I have the right bike for this tour and thanks to the guys at Outdoor Addictions for their advise, following the line! Notice now a lot of traffic and feeling happy we have two pilot cars, one in the front and back.
Wow, I am now pushing my body to the max, feeling the rhythm of movement and I am one with the bike. My adrenaline is pumping threw my body and biking faster...almost their! I arrive at the Parliament
Buildings in Victoria there are thou-sands of people to celebrate BC Day, it was breath taking and I feel so proud standing on the grass knowing
that I master the goal to bike 265 km. What I know for sure is the feeling of achiev-
ing the goal makes my heart feel so much love and joy For The Children!
We raised $3,500 and still working toward our goal of $8,000. To Pledge contact Arelene at 250-204-3612 and check out our video at www.chikondiorphanage.com. Thank you everyone who pledged, we can do it together, for the children!
We can do it together,bike, for the children!

BC Food Banks help almost 100,000 people each month. The BC Thanksgiving Food Drive, coordinated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, helps to provide donations to local food banks to meet these needs.
This year’s event takes place Sept. 16 to 21. During the week, local volunteers will deliver donation bags to resi-dential addresses. Those who want to participate will placenon-perishable items in the bag, and leave it out on their doorstep by 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 21. Volunteers will return to pick up the bags and deliver them to the food bank. For more information, visit bctfooddrive.org.
Last year, in Campbell River, 1,605 homes were vis-ited, and 5,400 pounds of food were collected. This year, volunteers are hoping to do even better.
“We are pleased to be part of this community service,” said Collin Van Horne, President of the Church’s Nanaimo Stake. “Everyone benefits when we do something for those less fortunate. We hope for this annual effort to con-tinue to grow and involve many, many more volunteers to canvass every household in BC.”

Campbell River is featured in the September 2013 editions of Business Review Canada and Construction Digital magazines.
The same article is published in both maga-zines, with Campbell River in a starring role as a community that’s growing through innovative infrastructure and beautification.
Over the past two decades, the City has made considerable investments in Campbell River’s core infrastructure (water, sewer and transportation routes) to continue to look after community assets and provide citizens services, and to attract and facilitate growth in line with the Official Community Plan.
“Because community growth tends to be cyclical, being ready to make the most of opportunities is an essen-tial component for delivering the community’s vision for growth and prosperity,” says Ron Neufeld, Deputy City Manager and General Manager of Operations for the City of Campbell River. “Projects like the airport terminal building improve-ments and runway expansion as well as the sewage lift station installation during the Hwy. 19A upgrade put us in a position to meet the demand for future economic growth and develop-ment. These improvements also lay the foundation for growth and development that reflects what local people have said they want to see happen in our community.”
The beautification that comes with improvement projects also help attract
interest in Campbell River, Neufeld says.“With a number of projects underway, com-
petitive housing values and great lifestyle in our spectacular setting, now’s a good time to be in Campbell River – and these magazines will help get the word out,” Neufeld adds.

You’re young, and you’ve got the energy and ideas to make Campbell River an even better place. Join your peers, and tell us what matters to you.
The City of Campbell River’s Youth Action Committee is looking for open-minded, innova-tive and motivated youth (14 to 18 years old) who want their say on community issues.
The Youth Action Committee provides City staff and Council a youth perspective on com-munity issues like art, recreation, safety, trans-portation, culture, parks and the environment.
Last year, the Youth Action Committee (YAC) developed a Youth Engagement Strategy to provide the City with guidelines to involve youth in City projects. The strategy was adopt-ed by Council in June 2013 and commits the City to seek the opinion of youth on all projects and plans that have a public outreach compon-ent. Other big projects involving YAC included ideas for revitalization of Campbellton and a Youth Centre for Campbell River.
For the past two years, the Youth Action Committee has raised funds at the annual Earth Week Film Festival to contribute to community organizations, as well as a $500 bursary for a graduating School District 72 student with an interest in the environment. Last year’s bursary was awarded to Jacob Storback, a Carihi gradu-ate who will study chemistry at Simon Fraser University.
“I plan to include environmental chemistry in my time table and I am most grateful for the support,” Storback says.
This year, YAC will help organize the Earth Week Film Festival, and will provide input on transportation improvements such as transit scheduling, bike rack locations, bike paths, and improved pedestrian routes. The committee
will also provide input on local food initiatives, review park and recreation projects and much more.
“Being a part of YAC taught me a lot about speaking up and being able to successfully prove a point. It also gave me many opportun-ities to make change for youth in the commun-ity. Anyone interested in sharing those same opportunities should highly consider joining the youth action committee,” says Claire Billings,
co-chair of last year’s Youth Action Committee.“The Youth Action Committee is a fun way
to get involved in the community. It gives youth a say in City projects and decisions that inevit-ably mean our future as adults in Campbell River,” adds committee member Maneesha Bains. “I’ve gotten a chance to really be a part of the community and have had opportunities I never would have before. I’ve also met new people and learned about the types of jobs involved with working with the City.”
Another bonus: YAC participants develop valuable leadership and communications skills, and gain great work experience.
The committee launches again this fall with a workshop on Saturday, Nov. 1. It will meet twice per month on Tuesdays from 3:30 to 5 p.m. to discuss topics important to youth in Campbell River.
Application forms for the Youth Action Committee are available at Timberline and Carihi school offices, the Sportsplex and the Community Centre. Applications are due by Sept. 27 and can be submitted via email until 11:59 p.m. or dropped off during regular hours at the above locations.
For more information, or to request or sub-mit an application form, please email: [email protected].

Get started on that languishing writing project this winter with a family history and biography class at the Museum at Campbell River. This is a repeat of a popular five-part class last winter by authors Annette Yourk and Jeanette Taylor. The new session starts on Sunday, Oct. 6 and continues to Nov. 10, from 1 to 4 p.m., with a break for the Thanksgiving weekend.
Yourk and Taylor have a lot to offer participants who want to advance their writing skills and learn the basics of historical research. A graduate from SFU’s Writing and Publishing program, Yourk also holds an instructors’ diploma in adult edu-cation. She has many years of experi-ence writing and editing, and has
designed and taught coursework to a range of learners.
Taylor is a BC historian who has worked both at the BC Archives and at the Museum at Campbell River. She has four non-fiction books in print, including River City, A History of Campbell River and the Discovery Islands and Tidal Passages, a History of the Discovery Islands. Her current project is a history of the colonial era on Vancouver Island, told through one man’s experience.
The first run of this course filled within days. Taylor says it was very exciting to watch participants plunge into their writing projects, inspired by in-class exercises and take home assignments that dovetailed with each
individuals’ project. The students appreciated the guidance, handouts and support Taylor and Yourk pro-vided. “Through your presentations of your own experiences,” wrote Jean Mottershead, a student from last winter’s class, “I gained new insights into writing and publishing. The whole experience was enjoyable and inspiring.”
Taylor and Yourk will touch on the full gamut of a writing project, from research and writing to self-publish-ing and ways to make a successful pitch to a publisher.
The fee for the class is $140. To register call the Museum at Campbell River at 250-287-3103. Spots are lim-ited so you’re urged to register soon.

Heading into a pair of home dates at Rod Brind’Amour Arena, things looked to be on the upswing for the Campbell River Storm. After all they entered the weekend doubleheader with a 2-1-1 start to the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League season with their five points leaving them on top of the North Division.
Well home ice didn’t treat the Storm well as the Kerry Park Islanders picked up their first win of the season topping the Storm 6-4 Friday night. And then on Saturday at Rod Brind’Amour Arena the Saanich Braves scored two goals in each the second and third periods to double up Campbell River, 4-2.
The two losses drops the Storm’s VIJHL record to 2-3-1 to sit in sec-ond spot in the North, three points back of Division leading Nanaimo Buccaneers who are off to a perfect 4-0 start.
The Storm, who were also stopped by the Westshore Wolves 6-5 in over-time last Wednesday, will try and get back in the win column when they play a home and home series with the Oceanside Generals this weekend. Oceanside will be at Rod Brind’Amour Arena Friday for a 7:30 p.m. start. The Storm will travel to Parksville Saturday for a return engagement against the Generals. Game time is also 7:30 p.m.
Against Kerry Park, the Storm outshot the Islanders 22-9 in the opening 20 minutes, but found them-selves in a 2-2 deadlock heading into the second period. Over the next 40 minutes the Islanders took over in the shot category, 41-19, while outscor-ing the Storm 4-2 in the final two periods.
Stephen Hawco had a pair of Storm goals, Gavin Rauser and Colin Blake rounded out the scoring. Tyson Smith had a pair of assists, single helpers went to Jordan Kamprath, Josiah Friesen, Paul Ramsey, Gage Colpron and Keenan Grant.
The Storm actually outshot Saanich 49-34, but could only beat Braves netminder Jordan Werzak two times in the 4-2 loss. Marc Terriault was tagged with the loss in the Storm goal.
Mitch Crisanti and Brayden Taekema had the two Campbell River goals. Smith, Alex Brewer and Grant picked up assists.

The Carihi Tyees began their defence of the Senior Boys AA High School Island Soccer Championship with a very encour-aging trip to Victoria this past weekend win-ning both games against ‘AAA’ opponents.
First game saw them play “AAA” Claremont and in a highly enjoyable and competitive game the Tyees came out with a 3-2 victory. The opening goal was scored after Taylor Arbour found Kevin Shelswell with a quick pass. Shelswell attacked the space in front of him at pace, went by the defender and calmly slotted the ball past the keeper.
Shelswell was to score his second 10 minutes later when an excellent pass from Alex Foge at the top of the 18 yard box enabled Shelswell to turn and drive a fierce shot that was too much for the keeper.
Claremont, who were using the game as a try out continued to rotate their 23 players and fought back well in the second half to draw the score level.
Arbour was to secure the victory in the 76th minute when a lofted free kick was somewhat fumbled by the unfortunate Claremont keeper. Overall an excellent game where the Tyees defensive partnership
of Anthony Vigneron and Aiden Anderson continued to blossom. Fullbacks Tyler Kelly, Carter Colblenz, Alexandre Desrochers and Dylan Sparling performed in fine fashion and got forward whenever they could.
The second game the Tyees took on “AAA” Stelly’s who had lost most of their squad with graduation last season. The game saw a comfortable 3-0 victory for Carihi.
The game opener was scored by the industrious and speedy Zach Tillapaugh. After some sharp passing leading up to the goal Tillapaugh received the ball about
10 yards out and hit a shot with the outside of his right foot which proved too much for the keeper to handle.
The rotating midfield of Arbour, Foge, Shelswell, Karson Kroetsch, Greg Robertson, Jason Fawkes and Connor Fairweather were working in tireless fashion and continued to help create numerous chances.
The second half saw another goal by Shelswell who ran in from the left with the ball, beating a defender and driving the ball past the keeper. The second half saw a courageous effort for the Stelly’s team but only one more goal was added and that was from Carihi. A superb ball was sent down the line by fullback Colblenz. Shelswell made a superb angled run and chipped the onrushing keeper.
This week the Tyees begin the North Island League play with a home game to Timberline today (Wednesday) at 3:30 p.m. On Friday they have another road trip with games against Kwalikum and Dover Bay.
The Tyees Senior “B” team who play in the same league will travel to Courtenay to play a doubleheader against GP Vanier and Brooks of Powell River.

Six Saratoga Speedway 2013 champions were crowned after an action packed night of racing which saw 74 cars fill the pits under a very foggy night, which was all capped off by an amazing fireworks show. The Hornet cars, Crash to Pass cars, Roadrunners, Figure 8’s, Bomber cars, I.M.C.A Modifieds and the Dwarf cars were all on the racing card on Saturday.
The Roadrunner championship was already won going into Saturday as #17 Dan Kemp held an 387 point lead over #66 Nick Leavitt, which was too much to surpass, making Kemp the 2013 Roadrunner cham-pion.
A six lap heat saw #99 Dennis Leavitt take home the win, with the 15 lap Roadrunner main going to #8 Ryan Guest, who finally got his car running on all cylinders after weeks of hard luck.
In the Bomber class, #72 Stewart Lee was looking to win his second straight championship, holding a 239 point lead over #97 Mike Dionne going into Saturday. #5 Darren Larson would take the 10 lap heat, but Lee’s lead would turn into an insurmountable one, giv-ing Lee his second straight Bomber Championship.
Lee still drove hard for an exciting 25 lap bomber main that saw Larson drive his best race of the year, taking the lead on lap one and not looking back from there, holding off Lee to win his first Bomber main of the
year. #44 Tim Openshaw was looking
to win his first I.M.C.A Modified championship at Saratoga, holding a 152 point lead over #89 Gregg Sagmoen. Unfortunately after two laps of practice, Openshaw’s motor blew, opening the door for Sagmoen and #88 Troy Tarbuck to take the championship. Sagmoen would win the only heat race, closing the gap on Openshaw to 42 points going into the main.
A 15 lap main event would decide the championship for the I.M.C.A’s; #91 Chris Beaulieu once again dom-inated the main event, taking the
lead early and not looking back from there, win-ning his second straight main event. After
all the points were added up, #89 Gregg Sagmoen would win the 2013 I.M.C.A Modified championship, beating #88 Troy Tarbuck by 4 points.
#02 “The General” Jeff May was looking to win his third straight Crash to Pass championship, holding a 142 point lead over #73 Sheldon Hopp going into racing on Saturday. A 12 lap heat would see Hopp take the win and close the gap on May to 88 points going into the main. Twenty laps were given to the main that saw Hopp jump out to an early lead and dominate from there, taking home the win. May’s fifth place finish was enough to secure him his third straight Crash to Pass championship, holding off Hopp by only 28 points.
The closest point races were in the Hornet divisions; #01 Kevin Lawrenuk held a 43 point lead over #14 Kyle Fallowfield in the A class,
and #81 Jeremy Stormo held a slim 27 point lead over #12 Raymond Fortier in the B class. Three heats were given that saw #76 Blaire Mark take the C, #53 Chris Klassen take the B, and #14 Kyle Fallowfield would take the A.
A 25 lap B main saw points leader Stormo battle his way to the front and on lap 15 he would find himself in the lead and he wouldn’t look back from there, taking home his fifth main event of the year, and after all the points were added, Stormo would also be declared the 2013 Hornet B championship, beating Fortier by 83 points.
Twenty five laps were also given to the A main that saw points leader #01 Kevin Lawrenuk jump out to the lead early, but fast time setter #02 Daryl Cahill would catch Lawrenuk on lap 14 and he wouldn’t look back
from there, winning the last A main of the year. After all the points were added up, #01 Kevin Lawrenuk was declared the 2013 Hornet A cham-pion, holding off Fallowfield by 65 points.
The Dwarf cars were also added to the racing card for a “play date” which saw Bomber champion Stewart Lee win the heat race and the 12 lap main event. #17 Brad Dimitrov had his best night of the year in the Figure 8 class, winning the six lap heat and the 10 lap main.
Extra laps...On behalf of everyone at Saratoga Speedway, we would like to thank all of the many sponsors, fans, and race car drivers who have supported the Speedway over this and many years, without all of you none of this would be possible, and we look forward to seeing everyone back for the 2014 season.

This will include everything from Belly Dancing, Scuba Diving, Tennis, Pickleball, Shuffle Board, Underwater Hockey, Swimming, Skating, Karate, Motocross plus much, much more. Please visit us on line or check out page 50 of the REC Guide for a detailed list of dates and times.
About the Power of SportSport has the power to reduce crime, fos-
ter character and citizenship, introduce new-
comers to their communities, stimulate the local economy, provide adult mentorship for young people, teach kids important life les-sons and strengthen community connected-ness. Unfortunately, sport participation is on the decline in our country. Over the past two decades, sport participation rates in Canadian youth aged 15 to 18 dropped from 77 per cent to 59 per cent - and in adults, from 45 per cent to 28 per cent.
Over half of Canadian adults are considered inactive, and only seven per cent of our children and youth are active enough to meet Canada’s Physical Activity Guidelines.
Contact Strathcona Gardens Recreation Complex at 250-287-9234 for more informa-tion.
