◆ COVER STORY
Honouring memories Sisters take up the fight for lost siblings during cancer society’s Relay for Life WAWMEESH G. HAMILTON ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS
J
ames Mitchell struggled to complete his laps at Bob Dailey Stadium during the 2011 Relay for Life. The married father of two fought to complete laps in the survivor and family walks, just as he fought the colon cancer he was diagnosed with in 2008. The strain is evident on his face in one picture with his father Jack, whose countenance looked strong yet vulnerable, as though he’d do anything to take his son’s pain away. James expected to do only one lap yet completed two through sheer will. But his rapidly deteriorating body was sapped of stamina. “He thought he’d just run a marathon when he finished. He was proud of himself,” James’s sister, Katherine Mitchell-Adad, said from Ferndale, Wash. The moment was poignant for another reason. “The doctor said he only had maybe two more months to live. He held on for five more months though,” she said. James died on July 8, 2011 at Ty Watson House, one month after the Relay for Life. He never volunteered leading up to his diagnosis but something changed afterward. “It’s like a lightbulb went off and he got involved,” Katherine said. Relay was a life changing experience, the most powerful out of any volunteering he’d done. “Just being around all the volunteers and survivors gave him hope,” Katherine said. “If he were still alive I know he’d want to help by being on the organizing committee.” Katherine is leading a team for this year’s Relay for Life event, taking place overnight Friday, June 15 and Saturday morning, June 16. Contributing money to help find a cure for the disease that took her brother all too soon is a given. But a promise she made to him transcended the gravity of the obligation. “It was my promise to him (James) when he died
WAWMEESH G. HAMILTON/ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS
The Shoppers Drug Mart Wild and Wicked Wahinies are set to take part in the Canadian Cancer Society Relay For Life, which starts on Friday at Bob Dailey Stadium. The team has raised more than $5,000 to be donated for cancer research.
‘It was my promise to him (James) when he died that I would do this.’ – Katherine Mitchell-Adad that I would do this. He asked me “Please keep fighting for cure,”” she said. The Relay for Life starts at 7 p.m. this Friday at Bob Dailey Stadium, and runs for 12 straight hours until 7 a.m. on Saturday. This year’s speaker representing cancer survivors is Richard Wasylyniuk, father of Brett Wasylyniuk, who is fighting Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare form of cancer found in the connective tissue between muscles and bones. Brett and his family also participated in last year’s Relay, walking in the survivors’ lap. This year’s event will see 28 teams participating, which

approximately $50,000 and counting this year, which is also down from $158,000 last year. Katherine is captain of

Friends, Hope & Love. She was stumped for a team name, she said, but came up with one when she thought about why people are involved. “We all have friends, we all have hope and we all have a lot of love,” she said. As of this writing, the team raised $6,200, $4,100 of which came through a Kinette silent auction of new and gently used handbags. Katherine raised $1,300 in Ferndale, a community of 10,000 people, something that surprised her given its proximity from Port Alberni. “It blew me away because they never met my brother. But everyone has been touched by cancer in some way so they understand,” she said. “There is no age, race or reason for cancer. It just happens.” James was the perfect brother to his two siblings while growing up near Maquinna School, therefore it’s no surprise to those who knew him that he married his wife Bonnie and became a devoted husband and father of two girls. James loved biking and fishing while growing up. He liked electronics and band in high school, and was an accomplished sea cadet. He worked at Kamma and Blake and considered what he did his dream job, Katherine said. James also owned a Harley Davidson motorcycle, and often took road trips with is wife. “That bike was his baby. He saw California and Oregon, and got to see places he’d never been to before,” Katherine said. There was a shard of light in fighting cancer for three years, Katherine said. “He might have died slowly but he truly lived each and every day,” she said. “He was more alive in those three years than he’d ever been.” The bond between co-workers is often as strong the bond between a family. Co-workers will rally around one of their own when they need it, something a spirited team from Shoppers Drug Mart understands. Continued / 7

WAWMEESH G. HAMILTON/ ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS
A colourful protest outside the Best Western Barclay Hotel greeted Compliance Coal CEO John Tapics as he prepared to give a keynote address to the Alberni Valley Chamber of Commerce, Wednesday afternoon. Ellen Chambers was one of 30 people who walked with signs and costumes protesting the Raven Coal Mine project. Chambers said she organized the protest because she believes if the project is to be stopped, it is up to the people and not government officials to stop it. “From the top down, they’ve squashed the process,� she said. “There’s no benefit to the community, the coal dust, wear and tear on roads and environmental impact aren’t worth the jobs or the taxes that will be gained.� Inside, Tapics gave a project update and cleared up what he told the audience of more than 60 people are misconceptions about the project.
There have been extensive public consultations regarding the project so far, including two open houses, three government public meetings and two public comment periods. There have been consultations with 20 first nations including the Tseshaht First Nations council, Tapics said. Further talks about economic development opportunities, as well as about adverse impact mitigation measures are planned, he added. More than $15 million has been spent on the project so far. “We intend to see this project through in an environmentally and socially responsible manner,� Tapics said. With respect to transporting coal in by rail, government needs to invest more into shoring up rail infrastructure to accommodate commercial loads. If not, “We’ll stick with the truck option.�

OUR COMMUNITY. OUR TEAM. ARE YOU IN? Find out how you can help at www.portalbernijuniorhockey.com Why is the team so important? My name is Max Fenkell and for the past year you knew me primarily as one of the goalies for the Alberni Valley Bulldogs,. My point in writing this letter is to give you a different perspective on why the Bulldogs are important. As the PAJHS works to secure the team’s future in Port Alberni I wanted to give you a player’s point of view and express to you what the community does for the team, not what we do for the community. Let me start by saying that I grew up in a town that is pretty much the opposite of Port Alberni. My town is a suburb of the city of Philadelphia, has zero community spirit, and I believe that I know approximately ďŹ ve of the people who live in my neighborhood. People do not really care about you when they ask you “how is your day going?â€?, nor would they ever pack almost 10% of the people who live in the town into a building once or twice a week to watch kids play a sport. When I got to Port Alberni in August, I really did not know anyone, had no idea where anything was, and had an “I don’t think I’m in Kansas anymoreâ€? moment as I came over the hump for the ďŹ rst time and drove through the streets to my billets, Rick and Melinda Geddes. I was greeted at the door by the most welcoming family I had ever seen met. They made my transition to a new city and home seamless. I guarantee my teammates felt the same way the ďŹ rst time they walked into their billet homes as well.
As the year went on and I started to meet people , I realized why Port Alberni is such a special place. Whether I walked into the grocery store, or went to a community event all of the people knew more about me than my position on the ice. They cared about how I liked the town, how my mom and dad back home were doing, about my interests and what I thought of our game the night before or coming up. I truly felt a part of this town, and still do. My life changed in Port Alberni and not just as a hockey player. I was only in town a short nine months, but I know my experience would have been far different somewhere else. No town could care as much about 25 young players who come to the town every year. No town could make each and every player, coach, and staff member of the team feel like they won each and every night no matter the score of the game. That is why it is so important to have the team in town. That is why it is so important to continue the support that the town has given the team in the past ten years. I understand it is very important to the town ďŹ nancially, and socially to have a team. However, I also know that for the billets, volunteers and season ticket holders the team is far more important than entertainment or a business. It is something that each and every member of Port Alberni is a part of and it would be a shame for the people of the town to lose that. Sincerely, Max Fenkell
The fundraising total now sits close to $250,000 and it’s all thanks to the generous donations coming for many individuals, organizations and businesses in our community

Majority of businesses Dust workshop planned for PCU object to coal: AEC survey WAWMEESH G. HAMILTON ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS
Seventy-five per cent of those surveyed by the Alberni Environmental Coalition oppose a coal port in Alberni because of environmental and health concerns, AEC officials Gary Swann said. The AEC released its findings at city council’s Monday meeting. According to Swann, there were 579 people and 52 Port Alberni businesses that were
surveyed. Of the residents surveyed, 11 per cent favoured the project, citing jobs as the reason. And 12 per cent were undecided, saying that the needed more information. Among the businesses, 70 per cent opposed the project because of adverse environmental and economic impacts. The number of businesses that both support the project and were undecided about it were split at an even 15 per cent each. In response to a
question from Coun. Jack McLeman about where he thought a coal port should be located, Swann said further down the canal by the sawmill site would be ideal. AEC volunteers canvassed doorto-door and asked respondents three questions: do you know about Raven Coal’s proposal for a coal storage and loading dock near Harbour Quay; do you support construction of a coal port in Port Alberni; and what is your strongest reason. reporter@albernivalleynews.com

â—† COVER STORY
‘We all have our reasons for doing this’: Carrier From / 3 The Wild and Wicked Wahinies is made up of 15 women who will be dressed in a Hawaiian theme at the Relay for Life. The group is walking in support of co-worker Brittany Savic, 25, whose 27-year-old sister Ashley died of cancer last year, three years after being first diagnosed. “We all have our reasons for doing this but we’re behind Britt this year,� team captain Kathy Carrier said. “We wanted to show our support for her so we said let’s get a team together and do this for her.� The team’s name Wahinie derives from the Maori and Hawaiian word for woman, Carrier said. Burt according to Polynesian mythology, Kiha Wahine is also a Hawaiian goddess. “And we’re all kind of wild and wicked,� Carrier said. Team members work different shifts so they coordinated things via e-mail. The team raised $6,700 as of this writing through store events, a photo booth, food sales and raffles. The team also intends to braid the hair of a team member then auction off each braid as a fundraiser. The event resonates deeply with Carrier and not just as a supporter of Savic’s. Carrier is a cancer survivor. She was diagnosed with throat cancer seven years ago, just before her 50th birthday. She was also diagnosed one week before a planned trip to Mexico, which went on anyway, she said.
Quickfacts â—† RELAY FOR LIFE starts at 7 p.m. Friday, June 15 at Bob Dailey Stadium and runs until 7 a.m. on Saturday, June 16. â—† THE PUBLIC is welcome to come out and support the 28 teams walking to raise awareness and funds for cancer research.
The Mitchell family and friends at the 2011 Relay for Life in Port Alberni.
Carrier underwent radiation treatment and was off work for two years. Doctors used a new treatment that had a virulent effect to treat her and it worked. “It was harsh but it worked. That’s all that matters
in the end.� Carrier says she’d like to see consistent participation from the start to finish of the event to show solidarity with cancer patients who struggle day and night with the disease.
Giving to Relay for Life and supporting Savic is like a solemn debt. “It’s a way of giving back to people who supported me,� she said. “Without research I wouldn’t have lived.� reporter@albernivalleynews.com

Second vote possible for Catalyst creditors WAWMEESH G. HAMILTON ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS
If enthusiasm counts for anything, then a second vote on
sale of Catalyst Paper Corp. assets could be in the offing. At Monday’s city council meeting, Mayor John Douglas said he’s been privy to
high-level discussions with B.C. Premier Christy Clark as well as with former finance minister Colin Hansen about the Catalyst issue.

According to Douglas, the government was headed in a “positive direction” with respect to the pension issue, help with BC Hydro, and jobs training. There could “possibly be a revote on the whole issue,” Douglas said. An announcement on the pension and Hydro issues is forthcoming, city manager Ken Watson said. According to a Catalyst press release, the paper giant is trying to rustle up support of its secured noteholders for an amended restructuring plan. If enough support can be corralled, the company will ask for a court-ordered creditor vote on the amended plan as soon as possible. The firm hopes
‘I hope there’ll be enough to carry it this time.’ – Gary McCaig the new plan addresses the issue of pensions vested by former salaried employees, and convinces creditors to reconsider after they rejected a similar plan May 23 by a three per cent margin. The company estimates a new plan will save approximately $7 million annually, Catalyst notes. Minister of Finance Kevin Falcon indicated to the company that he is prepared to submit the proposal to cabinet with a positive recommendation. Catalyst is in the
midst of a Sales and Investor Solicitation Procedures (SISP) with prospective buyers. But, “Catalyst will suspend the SISP only in the event that the amended plan is approved by its secured and unsecured creditors and approved by the court at a sanction hearing,” the release noted. Catalyst Salaried Employees and Pensioners Group spokesperson Gary McCaig said he is cautiously optimistic about the development. “This represents significant progress in terms of what we have been asking for,” McCaig said. “It also reflects the fact that government has become a lot more involved in this in the last few weeks.” Continued / 15

EDITORIAL
Queen’s reign offers stability Say goodbye to greenhouse gas goals With the world in financial turmoil and people looking for some stability, Queen Elizabeth II is as good a person to look to as anyone. Not just for the Commonwealth countries over which she symbolically rules, but as a global picture of modest leadership. Recent polls show support for maintaining Canada’s ties to the monarchy are on the upswing among Englishspeaking Canadians. Part of that trend is likely due to last year’s royal wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton. But large kudos have to be given to William’s grandmother, who has traditionally held her own in polls when it comes to popularity or respect, regardless of the general feeling about the monarchy. In the 60 years since her coronation, Queen Elizabeth has quietly done her job as the head of state, sparking little controversy and avoiding interference in political matters, especially those of countries other than Britain. For now, the Queen, 86, shows few signs of slowing down, especially as she heartily celebrates the start of her seventh decade on the throne with a series of celebrations at home and abroad. To be sure, the future of the monarchy as it relates to Canada will one day require more serious discussions than relying on poll results. But with the Canadian public remaining as enthralled with the Royal Family as any other type of international celebrities, our links to the Queen and the Crown appear firmly entrenched. As we muddle our way through tough times, that’s comforting to know. — Victoria News
TOM FLETCHER B.C. Views
V
ICTORIA – In February this column asked the question: “Are B.C.’s greenhouse gas reduction targets history?” The answer is contained in a new draft plan from BC Hydro on how to meet future power demand. And while it’s not explicitly stated, the answer is yes. The draft plan was released in May for discussion purposes, but so far there hasn’t been much discussion. This is surprising given some of the recommendations, such as firing up the Burrard Thermal natural gas power plant more often and buying fossil fuel power from the North American market to keep up to demand. The plan confirms a few things that have been evident for a while. Dreams of exporting B.C. hydroelectric power are gone for the foreseeable
future. And with mining ramping up along with natural gas development and population growth, BC Hydro now projects electricity demand could rise by 50 per cent over the next 20 years. The emergence of huge shale gas sources in B.C. and across the United States has changed the North American energy picture dramatically, as U.S. electricity producers replace coal by burning cheaper and cleaner gas to ramp up power production. B.C. is losing gas market share in the U.S., its only export customer for heating fuel and electricity use. Former premier Gordon Campbell’s climate goals officially remain in place: 33 per cent greenhouse gas reduction by 2020 and a whopping 80 per cent by 2050. If the gas boom proceeds as planned,
B.C. domestic emissions will not be down, but up considerably by 2020. Premier Christy Clark has a new target for 2020: three liquefied natural gas production lines feeding high-pressure tankers at Kitimat, for export to Asia. Not only will B.C. need to buy gas-fired power from outside the province to keep up to industrial and residential demand, but the natural gas industry will need its own new gas-fired electricity to produce LNG for export. Natural gas passed forestry as B.C.’s top resource revenue source many years ago. In 2005, the volatile gas price spiked up and produced $1 billion in windfall profits that allowed the B.C. government to buy a rare period of public sector labour peace through the 2010 Olympics. Now a glut of shale gas

has pushed the North American price down from its historic range of $4 to $6 per thousand cubic feet to about $2.40. Despite that low price, gas producers in B.C. are going flat out to develop the Horn River and Montney shale gas deposits in northeast B.C. I asked David Pryce, vice-president of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, why so much gas is being developed now. He said producers have made huge investments in B.C. shale gas drilling rights, and are in an international race to supply LNG to Asian countries where the price is currently four times higher than in North America. Whatever the domestic price, B.C. gas producers have to show LNG investors such as Mitsubishi and Korea Gas that they can fill a steady procession of LNG tankers at a competitive rate. If LNG doesn’t fly here, B.C.’s gas export market soon evaporates. Continued / 11

There’s no convincing QUESTION of the some people on toxins week To the Editor, Re: Premier bitten by pest problem (B.C. Views, May 19). The column on cosmetic pesticides written by Tom Fletcher skates around the body of medical and scientific evidence linking these toxins to such illnesses as childhood leukemia and Parkinson’s disease. In his words, the “right thing to do” is to do nothing about cosmetic pesticides. I imagine if he were living in the 1960s, he would be arguing that the Vietnam War
was the right thing to do, or in the 1970s that concern over the nuclear arms race was merely “political.” The problem with cosmetic pesticides, like DDT or cigarettes, is that there is no smoking gun. It is going to take time to convince some people that pouring poison on their lawn could harm their children. In the case of Mr. Fletcher, I think it will take a lifetime. I pity his children. Jim McMurtry, Surrey
No choice but to redefine targets From / 10 Currently gas producers pay about $400 million a year in royalties, and that much again to buy up shale gas drilling rights. The industry already employs about 12,000 workers in B.C. The B.C. government has little choice but to redefine its climate targets. Instead of cutting
domestic emissions, it will try to take credit for displacing coal power in Asia. Fortunately, B.C.’s main coal exports are for high-grade coal used in steel-making. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Mailbag: Feedback on EI reform, hockey team buyout Team is more than money: goalie To the Editor, My name is Max Fenkell and for the past year you knew me primarily as one of the goalies for the Alberni Valley Bulldogs, or the only person in Port Alberni with a Pennsylvania license plate on my car. Since I left Port Alberni, I have stayed in contact with many people who I consider to be my friends, and some who I consider to be family. My point in writing this letter is to give you a different perspective on why the Bulldogs are important. Let me start by saying that I grew up in a town that is pretty much the opposite of Port Alberni. My town is a suburb of Philadelphia, has zero community spirit. People do not really care about you when they ask you “how
is your day going?”, nor would they ever pack almost 10 per cent of the people who live in the town into a building once or twice a week in order to watch kids play a sport. When I got to Port Alberni in August, I really did not know anyone, had no idea where anything was, and had an “I don’t think I’m in Kansas anymore” moment as I came over the Hump for the first time and drove through the streets of the town to my billets’. My life changed in Port Alberni and not just as a hockey player. No town could care as much about 25 young players every year. No town could make each and every player, coach and staff member of the team feel like they won each and every night, no matter the score of the game. That is why it is so important to have the team in the town.
‘The team is far more important than entertainment or business.’ – Max Fenkell That is why it is so important to continue the support that the town has given the team in the past 10 years. The team is far more important than entertainment or a business. It is something that each and every member of Port Alberni is a part of and it would be a shame for the people of the town to lose that. Max Fenkell, via e-mail
EI reform bad labour strategy To the Editor, The Conservative government claims that it is making fundamental changes
to Employment Insurance to deal with “unprecedented” shortages in skilled labour, especially in the West. However, these reforms do nothing to help the 154,000 unemployed British Columbians develop the skills and get the training they need to fill those shortages. Instead, the government’s strategy appears to be to force seasonal workers from rural Canada to move, separating them from their families and emptying their communities. The changes will also force the unemployed to accept work at up to a 30 per cent pay cut, or else they will lose their EI benefits. Under this system, employers will be stuck with employees who don’t want to be there and plan to leave as soon as they can. Hardly a recipe for positive workplace morale or productivity. All of which is
not to say that the current system is perfect—it does need improvements. In fact, some of the current changes are positive, like extending the “working while on claim” pilot and making the “best 14 weeks” program permanent. Both of those pilot projects were created by Liberals over a half-decade ago, to test new, innovative reforms to the EI system. Unfortunately, the current government has created policy on the fly, with no consultation, based on a belief that EI claimants – especially seasonal workers in Atlantic Canada – are lazy and need to be forced to work. The government should be narrowing the rural-urban divide, not expanding it. Rodger Cuzner, MP and Liberal critic for Human Resources and Skills Development

Pastor’s Pen
Deuteronomy 5:7 says, “Thou shalt have none other gods before me.” What does it mean to have another god before Jesus in your life? Even though we have the capacity to love many people and things at the same time, there can only be one, most important thing in our lives. Jesus IS #1! He should be #1 in every area of our lives. If Jesus doesn’t fill that #1 spot in every aspect of your life, then, according to Scripture, you don’t have the kind of relationship which will take you to an eternity with the Lord. Be aware day by day of what is most important to you - make sure it is Jesus.

Clutesi Haven marina building demolished SUSAN QUINN ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS
The walls came crashing down around Clutesi Haven Marina on Tuesday as the marina building was finally demolished. The building has been empty for a few weeks following asbestos testing. The activity drew a few onlookers, and Port Alberni Port Authority CEO Brad Madelung visited the site to watch the process. Some of the materials from the demolished building will be recycled, wharfinger Mike Carter Jr. said. “The contractor is doing his best to sort and separate everything he can.” Clean wood was earmarked for hog fuel. Scrap metal, pipes and wiring will go to the metal recycler in town. Whatever concrete cinder blocks that could be preserved were destined for one of the concrete businesses in town, although Carter said he wasn’t sure which one. He expected the rest of the material would go to the landfill.
SONJA DRINKWATER/ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS
Heavy equipment demolishes the interior of the Clutesi Haven Marina building, Tuesday morning. The city has no immediate plans to replace the building.
Asbestos testing was completed two weeks ago and any contaminated material safely removed. Carter said the demolition did not affect the
marine environment, although traffic on the water and on the roads above the parking lot were disrupted while equipment dismantled the building. Power
was cut to the harbour office and the fuel pumps, but was back on by the end of the day, he said. Carter didn’t know how much the demolition cost, but
the Port Alberni Port Authority (PAPA) was picking up the tab. The City of Port Alberni owns the land at the marina and leases it to the port authority, which in
turn runs the marina. There will still be portable shops and portable washrooms at the site, and the food vendor (VI Fries) will stay on the site, Carter said.
In 1912 a saltery operated on the same land, in the Somass River estuary. Clutesi Haven Marina was built in the early 1970s. Continued / 15
Port hires new CEO RVs parked on city’s land can stay–for now PAPA: | Madelung retiring after 30 years at port authority. SUSAN QUINN ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS
The Port Alberni Port Authority has hired a new chief executive officer. Zoran Knezevic of Surrey will take over July 3 from Brad Madelung, who is retiring to pursue other interests. Knezevic has worked in the shipping industry for more than 26 years, including as an officer for the Yugoslavian Merchant Marines. After immigrating to Canada in 1992, Knezevic worked at the container terminal in Montreal, then moved across the country to Deltaport, in Delta, B.C., where he worked for more than a decade. Most recently Knezevic has worked as an industry consultant through his own company, Portside Solutions, specializing
in trucking and drayage, operational and management solutions for marine and container terminals, and development and implementation of terminals operating software. The CEO search began earlier this spring, when Madelung announced to the port authority board that he wanted to retire, board chairman Don Ferster said. The board chose Knezevic for the position because of his depth of knowledge in the shipping industry. “We’re wanting to increase the awareness of our port and attract new business,” Ferster said. “He should be able to move that forward.” The deep sea port has seen its numbers improve in 2012, Ferster added. The number of log shipments has increased, while lumber shipments have remained stable. “We’re looking to attract new products or give our port a higher visibility in
world shipping. Our port is very under-utilized,” he said. Ferster estimated the port is only being used to 30 or 40 per cent capacity. Knezevic said although he was aware Port Alberni had a deep sea port, he didn’t realize it wasn’t being used as much as it could. “I believe the port authority...has the potential to grow into a larger port. I believe I can bring some ideas and the board is a strong supporter,” he said. “I think we have the right ingredients to see the port grow.” Knezevic and his wife have three children, including a daughter who is heading to Vancouver Island University in the fall. Madelung was appointed CEO on May 1, 2007 after serving as acting port manager from November 2006. Prior to that he had been the manager of Port Alberni Terminals, the deep sea shipping facility.

Westporte Place residents have won a temporary reprieve from having to remove the boats and recreational vehicles they store on city property near their homes. Port Alberni city councillors voted against a motion that would have required residents to remove their equipment. Council however voted in favour of not changing the Traffic Control bylaw regarding storing boats and RVs on city streets. And they voted to forward any changes to the bylaw governing storing such equipment in front yards to the pending zoning bylaw review. The matter arose during discussion on a report city planner Scott Smith wrote about the issue.
‘They have no right to keep vehicles on city property.’ – John Douglas According to the report, Westporte Place homeowners are storing their recreational equipment on 50 acres of city owned land adjacent to their properties. The land is zoned for future development and is well kept. Smith outlined three options to deal with the matter. One would be to subdivide the city land and piecemeal it for sale to the equipment owners. The second was a license of occupation with the owners, each of which would require a separate agreement.
The third option would require residents to remove their equipment in a reasonable period of time. City staff would work with residents on the options, all of which would incur costs. “Why would they pay when they already use it for free,” said Coun. Wendy Kerr, who favoured residents paying a fee. Speaking in favour of the third option, Mayor John Douglas said that the residents chose to purchase recreational equipment, chose to put them on city property and now feel a sense of entitlement. “They have no right to keep vehicles on city property. We just have to buck up,” said Douglas, who likened one option to opening an RV park on city property and making money.

TEACHING THE TEACHERS Start your VIU teaching degree in Port Alberni with a full year of classes at NIC Mikaela Roberts is about to follow in her father’s footsteps. Starting next year, the Alberni District Secondary student will start her teaching career in the Alberni Valley —just like her father, a high school teacher, did many years ago. “I knew I really wanted to work with kids,” Mikaela said. “But now I know that with NIC’s Education Transfer program, I can study here, save money, and have more time to spend time with my friends and family.” The Pre-education agreement for Teachers in Training creates a one-year Education Transfer program designed to give Port Alberni students better access to VIU’s education degrees. Signed in 2008, the agreement allows

Cooks on Campus: Kitchens designed with students in mind
Students take EDU 101 & 102, two NIC education courses designed to prepare teachers for groups and classroom work and discuss current issues in the school system.
When NIC opens its $1.35 million culinary kitchen later this summer, it won’t just be the staff and students faces that shine.
They also take Math for Elementary Educators, as well as English, biology and a wide variety of first-year university courses. “This is a great option for students to do their whole first year in Port Alberni,” said Tom Weegar, NIC’s regional director for Port Alberni and the Alberni-Clayoquot Region. For Mikaela, who completed two of her university courses in advance through NIC’s high school Dual Credit program, it also means she can follow her dad’s advice. “He told me to take as many courses here as possible,” she said, laughing. “That’s exactly what I’m going to do.” Find out more: www.nic.bc.ca/programs Call: 250-724-8711
NIC is a good transition for me out of high school, I can train for a career I love and save money,” Caitlyn Royendyk, NIC Education Transfer
The kitchen features state-of-the-art equipment and learning stations, designed with students in mind. “We want this to be very inspiring for our young chefs,” said instructor David Lang. “Everything is incredibly current and up to date.” Intended to resemble a classic French kitchen, the facilities include banks of teaching stations for students, an instructor station, room for a production line, a pastry area, and more. Starting this September NIC will offer Professional Cook I classes in the new kitchen four days a week. “This allows students to work evenings or have a weekend job,” said Lang.

No plans for new building From / 13 In 1973 the harbour commission (now the port authority) held a naming contest for the new marina. Theresa Kingston won the $50 prize for her suggestion, “Clutesi’s Haven”. (She is now the city’s manager of human resources and community development.) The building was named for George Clutesi, a Tseshaht First Nation artist, actor and writer who was known in Canada as an expert on Native Canadian culture and its preservation. Clutesi died in February 1988. City planner Scott Smith said there are no immediate plans to replace the marina building. The land is included in the Waterfront North Redevelopment Study, being carried out in a four-way partnership between the Tseshaht and Hupacasath First Nations, the port authority and the city. editor@albernivalleynews.com

Bud bust in Beaver Creek WAWMEESH G. HAMILTON ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS
Organized crime is likely involved in a large-scale marijuana grow operation that RCMP busted in Beaver Creek and Errington, Oceanside RCMP Cpl. Jesse Foreman said. Port Alberni RCMP and the Island District Drug Section simultaneously took down grow operations on rural properties in Errington and Port Alberni on June 6. Police found
From / 8 McCaig, who represents the interests of 1,400 pensioners, said he’s been in contact with Hansen about the issue and is apprised of developments. McCaig’s members belong to a defined benefits plan, which is under-funded by $115 million, he said. If the company is restructured then the plan is preserved. If it’s sold, however, then the new owners aren’t obligated to inherit the plan. McCaig said he’s hopeful that the move for a second vote gains enough traction to succeed this time. “Sixty four per cent voted in favour of it last time and it needed 66.66 per cent,” McCaig said. “I hope there’ll be enough to carry it this time.” reporter@albernivalleynews.com
marijuana growing in industrial-sized greenhouses in the Beaver Creek section of Port Alberni. Seized were 2,500 marijuana plants from each site for a combined value of more than $1 million. “It’s one of the larger operations we’ve seen recently,” Foreman said. There were nine adults of Polish and Canadian descent arrested at the sites. Foreman could not say how many were from Port Alberni. All have been released from
250-723-6399
custody with first court appearances set for mid-September, 2012. The spectre of a larger crime element is likely, Foreman said. “For an operation of this scale, organized crime is probably involved,” he said. “You can’t sell that kind of quantity without some serious connections.” Investigators believe that the operations have been ongoing for several years in a variety of locations. reporter@albernivalleynews.com

n this electronic world that we live in where everything it seems is controlled by a few keypad swipes, wouldn’t it be nice to have a computer that would not get viruses, Malware, Trojans, and the likes? Well, since you have a Mac you figure that you are immune to all that. After all, it is a Mac, right? WRONG. There are not as many viruses available for a Mac as for a Windows machine, but they are around. The first Mac virus called Elk Cloner was introduced in 1982 by 15-year-old Rich Skrenta. The current Trojan Malware making the rounds for the Mac is called
“Flashback S�. Flashback S will not affect other computers as a virus would. What it does is make your computer open to data theft (stealing your info, bank passwords and so on). Kapersky Security has a program called “Flashback Check� that will check your Mac to see if it is infected with the Flashback S Trojan. F-Secure has a program called “Flashback Removal� that will check your machine. There are about 140,000 Macs out there that are quite ready to be infected and about 600,000 Macs that are affected. Fifty-seven per cent are in the United States and about 20 per cent in Canada. Don’t be one of them. The simplest way to not get this horrible Trojan is to make sure
that your software is updated. Go to the black Apple at the top left of your screen, click on “Software update� and let the machine download the latest software security from Apple. The best way to get the latest software updates is to turn off your Mac at night— don’t put it into sleep mode, actually turn the Mac off. When you turn the computer on in the morning it will check for the latest security and software updates on its own. Now I would like you to check that your Mac firewall is turned on. Go to System Preferences, click on Security and Privacy, then click on the tab for the firewall. If the firewall is not on then you will have to click on the padlock (bottom left in the dialog box) to be able to activate the

firewall. That would be step two in security. For the next step, download an antivirus program that will scan your entire machine and report back to you. Don’t worry, I have a bunch of free anti-virus programs lined up so that you can choose the one that you like: • I Antivirus (www. iantivirus.com/ product) • Sophos Antivirus (www.sophos.com/ en-us/products/ free-tools/Sophosantivirus-for-machome-edition.aspx) • ClamXav (www. clamxav.com) • Avast (www.avast. com/free-antivirusmac) Here’s another security check that you should do, especially if you are connecting to commercial WiFi such as McDonald’s, Starbucks and so on. Go to System Preferences, under Internet and Wireless, click on Network, make sure that the “Ask to join New Networksâ€? box is checked. If not you will have to unlock the padlock in the bottom left and make the changes. Now when you go to use Wi-Fi in a public place, people sitting nearby will not be automatically connected to your computer and able to steal all of your info. Any questions?

Golfer’s just along for the ride So, you think you can dance? DEB HAGGARD Hollies Ladies
P
reparing to tee off at the Hollies Golf Course, I overheard two women talking about their games. “I had eight riders!” one woman exclaimed happily. “That’s great!” her friend said. Never having heard the golf term “rider”, I asked what it was. “It’s when you
hit the ball a long distance,” she said. “Instead of walking that far for your next shot, you ride in the golf cart.” Like this woman, I am very happy when I get a “rider”. In golf we have to celebrate all of our victories, no matter how small. If you get a “rider”, chip the ball onto the green or make that putt, or even come close to making that putt, celebrate that you live in a wonderful community and are
able to walk around the golf course and see some spectacular scenery. In spite of the cool weather, ladies night at Hollies had the best turnout so far this season. (By the way, if anyone has any pull with the weatherman, can you please order some sunshine? This winter weather is playing havoc with our golf scores. That’s my excuse and I am sticking to it.) Thank you to all of the women who came
out to golf, in spite of the weather. Sue Steinhaeur won the KP. Steinhaeur took low score of the night, with Rodgers following close behind. Those practice rounds really help, don’t they, Tineke? If you want to golf in a relaxed atmosphere and have some fun, come to Hollies Ladies Night every Wednesday at 6 p.m. Please call 250724-5333 to reserve.

he 18 Hole Ladies Division banded together with the Nine-Hole Ladies Division at Alberni Golf Course to “waltz” their way around the dance—er, golf course. Following instructions much too complicated to go into here, they devised a cunning way to come up with a gross score using the total gross scores of several pre-arranged holes
then subtracting the combined total of the handicaps of each team. When the music finally stopped, team 1B (B-Jay Harper, Teresa Cutting and Marie Swain) had jived their way into first position, scoring a fine 303. Patsy Gauthier, Sandra Simpson, Kathy White and Kathy Toms boogied into second place with a score of 304 and finally Team 18B (Katie Cyr, Pat Nicklin, Carol Bouchard and Bonnie McIntyre) shuffled in with a 322.

Then, of course, let’s hear it for dancer— whoops, golfer— Teresa Cutting, who set the course on fire at the Glacier Greens tournament held on June 9. Cutting scored the third low net and fourth low gross for her flighted division, placing for the first time ever in any tournament.

Putting up a pole of memories PATRICK LITTLE Hollies Golf
P
utting up a flagpole is not easy. First, one has to get the pole. If you have money, no problem; we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. A customer of ours, Ron Lange, had a neighbour who had an old 21-foot pole with a 6.5â&#x20AC;? diameter from a fishing boat that he wanted to part with. Another
great customer, Rob Longeuay of First Glass, helped me bring the pole to the club with his specially designed vehicle. Then Troy Dhillon from Alberni Foundry found me the right channel iron to support the post. Once I poured the concrete support, a cast of the Holliesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; best determined how to pin the post. Once hoisted, member Gail Bridge and Stuart Rodger, a retired pilot, determined its
vertical position. Finally, with the help of Roy Bridge, Larry Gavelin and Denis Debolt of Big O Tires as well as a cast of onlookers, we positioned a flag with pulleys and cleats. Today, the final touch. A large gold golf ball is being placed on top of the pole and has a list of names inside the ball. The list includes the above names as well as all the golfers who have stayed loyal to the Hollies during the
time Jackie and I have owned the golf course. Those names are there to remind us of those who have helped us through tough times here. The flag pole is our thanks. It was a big night for Barry Ensor as he picked up half of the deuce pot money on hole No. 8, along with Trevor Cripps. Ensor also took the low gross, shooting an even par round of 30 to tie Ron Lange, the latter losing in retrogression.

post back-to-back victories (6â&#x20AC;&#x201C;3 over the Victoria Esquimalt Eagles and 5â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2 over the Campbell River Ravens) to finish first in the 12-team house division. Alberni advanced to the gold medal game against the Comox Valley Wild and fought hard, battling back from several two goals deficits during the final that ended 10â&#x20AC;&#x201C;7 in favour of the

Five of their teammates were unable to make the trip, she noted. Alberniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memphis Dick, Travis Smith and Ethan Eyford earned Player of the Game honors during the tournament.

Artist gives back to students JANIS WARREN BLACK PRESS
Lynn Kenneth Pecknold’s new exhibit, which opened last week in the Leonore Peyton Salon at Coquitlam’s Place des Arts, will be an homage of sorts. Now a Port Alberni resident, Pecknold used to teach art at Como Lake middle, Centennial secondary and George Pearkes junior high school — and was School District 43’s art supervisor — in the 1960s and 70s. “I was fairly involved in the arts scene when I was in Coquitlam for 12 years,” he said, “and I have some very fond memories of my time there. I had neat kids and neat staff. There were some very dedicated teachers that I worked with.” Pecknold’s show, titled Memories Revisited — A Teacher’s Return, is comprised of 45 multi-media, multi-

coloured abstract pieces. The exhibit includes a digital design series called Reflections, which he worked on with his one of his past senior students to interpret the roots of stumps washed up on beaches. Lately, twisted rope, strings and knots have been a source of fascination and Pecknold shows them in 11 of his recent paintings. “When I’m on the BC Ferries and I see the ropes just lying there, I have to photograph them and think about that,” the septuagenarian said, adding, ‘I’m often looking for subliminal imagery when I work, images that are hidden within something else. I don’t start with a lot of preconceived ideas. I just like the randomness of it... then I let the images pop in.” Place des Arts is located at 1120 Brunette Ave., Coquitlam.

100 years of inspiration Centennial Inspirations is the name of the Rollin Art Centre’s present art exhibit, a showcase of extraordinary pieces from 30 local artists. This exhibit is unique as each artist randomly selected a photograph, taken somewhere in Port
Alberni 100 years ago. The photographs were their inspirations and each artist added their unique style when creating this exhibit. Meet the artists at the gallery on Saturday, June 16 from 1–3 p.m. The exhibit runs until Aug. 15. Don’t miss this opportunity to see this one of a kind show.

‘Bard’ wends musical tales England’s ‘Northern Bard’, Richard Grainger, appears at Char’s Landing on Thursday, June 14 at 7 p.m. Grainger, who hails from England’s northeast, is a recording artist with 11 albums to his credit and is considered to be one of the UK’s top folk singers and songwriters. He has been described as “a folk singer in the truest sense”. Grainger’s songs describe many aspects of the life and experiences of working folk in the
Yorkshire region where he now lives, and in Teesside, where he was born and raised. From songs of the old industries— mining, fishing and whaling—to environmental and other issues of the day, he delivers them in an entertaining way. Advance tickets are $15 (seniors/ students $12) and available by calling 250-730-1636. Tickets at the door are $3 more. Doors open at 6 p.m., the show starts at 7 p.m.
