Outdoor party a hazard: Resident Beaver Creek man gathering support to oppose Five Acre Shaker festival KRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

Beaver Creek resident is calling an outdoor rural festival the “Five Acre Money Maker.” Loren Smith put up with the loud three-day festival neighbouring his Mercy Road home last year and does not want to see a potentially dangerous situation reappear on a residential property. Organizers, however, say they have it under control. The Five Acre Shaker was launched last year as a fundraiser for the Zattzoo Project, in memory of Zakk Cross. Although not opposed to the concept of raising money for charity, Smith said he has a number of concerns, including the safety of party-goers and neighbours. Last year’s inaugural event attracted 500 people as a BYOB (Bring Your Own Booze) party on Lance Goddard’s acreage on Beaver Creek Road. With a vision of making it a lasting community event, Goddard expects to see double attendance at this year’s event, scheduled for Aug. 14–16. Included will be a beer garden, dance floor, stage, food truck, porta potties, EMT vehicles and campers. Smith’s main concern is the risk of fire. “We are in a record breaking month for lack of rainfall with predictions of the driest summer on record,” Smith said. “I live on a dead end road, so if a fire breaks out, I have no way of getting out,” Smith said.

“We are in a record breaking month for lack of rainfall with predictions of the driest summer on record.” Loren Smith, Beaver Creek resident

Goddard said he has a fire risk management plan in place approved by the Beaver Creek Fire Department. “It will be hayed a week before,” he said. “I will be mowing the lawn to keep it low and watering it. There will be zero tolerance for smoking outside the two designated smoking areas. If anyone is caught, they will be escorted off site.” He also said there will be no open campfires nor flames of any sort. Smith also feels the property is too small to hold such an event and believes an alternative venue should have been secured. He said it was his understanding that it would be a one-time event. “I never stated it was a onetime event,” Goddard said. “But this time I can say 100 per cent that it will be the last time on my property.” Goddard said he has written approval from all governing bodies, including the RCMP, Island Health, the Beaver Creek Volunteer Fire Department and the Ministry of Transportation and Intrastructure. He said the Bea-

ver Creek Fire Department will have volunteers on site around the clock with first aid and there will be a professional security company that can handle the number of people. Goddard was offered the use of the Fall Fair grounds to hold the event, but said it would be a detriment to the festival’s atmosphere. “It would be a big dust pit,” Goddard said. “Because this is a music festival, it doesn’t suit what we are looking for. It is also more of a residential area than my property.” He said he has done his homework and has enough room to host the event on his property

for one more year before looking into a bigger space. “We have a vision for the future of keeping it as a festival in the fields with grass and don’t want to taint that vision by having it on the Fall Fair grounds,” Goddard said. Smith is also concerned about the noise factor. “If you have ever laid in bed and listened to a wailing siren, you can attest to the fact that you can hear it for miles,” he said. Although Goddard said he has a lot of support from residents, including written consent from neighbours within 200 feet of the property, Smith intends to continue to canvass the area.

“I started in my neighborhood and within an hour had 25 signatures opposing it,” Smith said. The issue is currently being reviewed by the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District and feedback is being accepted until the board meeting on June 24. “It is a board decision but if the public feels it will either negatively or positively affect their property, they are invited to email their concerns or support,” said Beaver Creek director John McNabb. “I will personally be walking around my neighbourhood to raise awareness and get opinions and will record them.” Kristi.Dobson@avtimes.net

Council looks to plant food in city MARTIN WISSMATH ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

In the interests of improving food security for Port Alberni, the local parks and recreation department is looking at planting produce in garden plots throughout the city. Fresh vegetables could be harvested from the city’s land and donated to local food banks such as the Salvation Army and Bread of Life, said Coun. Chris Alemany. Alemany brought the idea forward to city council last month, which voted in favour of the idea. “It came up just in discussion with the mayor about different things that the Food Security Committee and council could do for building up a little food resilience in the community,”

“It came up just in discussion . . . about different things that the Food Security Committee and council could do for building up a little food resilience in the community.”

so that it woudn’t cost in terms of (work) time,” he said. Alberni Valley residents have looked at other possible ways of improving local food security with the city’s help. One of Port Alberni’s oldest agricultural lands at the top of Burde Street, the Redford Farm, is on the market. With nearly 100 fruit trees and berry bushes, the orchard could provide opportunities for community participation, according to local organic farmer Heather Shobe.

Chris Alemany, city councillor ALEMANY

said Alemany. “We have lots of plots around town that the city maintains.” Other communities such as Nanaimo and Victoria have also interspersed edible greenery on city property, he noted.

Portland, Ore., has also implemented a similar program. Alemany hopes that associated labour costs would be kept to a minimum by the parks department. “Hopefully they can integrate it

RECOGNITION

NIC instructor honoured with award KRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

Faust attended the conference and awards ceremony in Austin along with colleagues and winners, Mickey Bliss and Albert Balbon, from Campbell River and the Comox Valley. She said it was an opportunity to make new connections with educators from all over North America. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was so inspired by the speakers and workshops and I feel refreshed and ready to bring new ideas and energy back into my

Many of her students progress into more advanced levels of upgrading and into other college programs.â&#x20AC;? Working with those students is what drives Faust to excellence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of my students have been out of school for a long time, so I love welcoming them back into learning and seeing them find their strengths and reach their goals.â&#x20AC;?

Support services open for victims of crime

very Year, millions of people have their lives changed forever by crime. They are our family, neighbours, friends, and colleagues. Crime victims often struggle to work, pay bills or support their loved ones. Many have life changing injuries and need long term care and support. These people have rights as victims of crime. In BC they have the right to receive information from the criminal justice

Insp. Mac Richards RCMP Spotlight system including the status of the investigation, any outcome in court and the administration of the offenderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sentence. They also have the right to financial assistance and benefits through the Crime Victim

Where are you Now? People from the Alberni Valley are doing amazing things all around the world. We want to tell their stories.

Send your submissions to:

Assistance Program. Victims have the right to be treated with courtesy, compassion and with respect for their dignity and privacy. Any person who is a victim of crime can access on of the 92 police based victim services programs in BC and connect with a worker for assistance. To assist we need to be aware that crime affects people in many ways: financially, physically, emotionally and through secondary victimization which

can occur as a result of poor treatment after the crime. Victims deserve assistance to help minimize these affects. This assistance may take the form of crisis support at the scene of a crime or traumatic incident, practical assistance as needs arise in the days and weeks following an incident and ongoing court support as the file goes through the justice system. Port Alberni RCMP Victim Services has been assisting victims of crime over 30 years and

last year we assisted over 700 people. A referral from a police officer is not required: If you or anyone you know is in need of assistance in Port Alberni contact RCMP Victims Services through your local RCMP detachment or directly at 250 724-8910. Âť The Port Alberni RCMP submit a column on a monthly basis about the things they deal with in the Alberni Valley.

Tim Hortons stirs Enbridge tempest

he mistake Tim Hortons made wasn’t signing a contract with Enbridge to run ads for the pipeline company on its in-store screens, the mistake the coffee and doughnuts company made was in surrendering to the online horde whining about the ads. Now instead of upsetting a handful of social media activists, who wouldn’t be caught dead in a Tim Hortons at the best of times because it’s corporate and it’s foreign-owned and whatever other nonsense they spout, the coffee giant has now upset its regular customers. The trending Twitter hashtag late this week was #boycotttims for pulling the ads. Quick aside: MP Nathan Cullen quickly jumped on Twitter to make political hay of the situation, blasting its U.S. operators but Tims is now owned by a Brazilian investment firm. Regardless, this is a a textbook case on how to alienate more

than 11,000 people who work for Enbridge in Canada and the U.S., along with the tens of thousands of other Canadians and Americans whose livelihoods are tied directly or indirectly to the pipeline industry, including the hundreds of workers in Prince George. Those folks also have friends and families, too, not to mention an entire federal Conservative caucus that prides itself on appealing to the Tim Hortons voter and this is an election year, after all. There is a big difference between opposing Northern Gateway, Enbridge’s proposed pipeline across northern B.C. to connect the Alberta oilsands to Kitimat, and opposing a company’s right to spend money on advertising and a company’s right to accept that money. For the record, the Citizen has run numerous ads from Enbridge over the years. That does not mean the Citizen or its staff support Northern Gateway. The news-

paper runs tens of thousands of advertisements each year on behalf of individuals and businesses. The role of the Citizen and any advertising outlet is to connect advertisers with customers, leaving the customers to decide for themselves whether they will support that business with their dollars or – in the case of Enbridge — their political support. On the opinion side, we have run letters and commentary both for and against Northern Gateway and continue to do so. In this space, I wrote editorials in support of the pipeline in 2012 but that support decreased considerably in editorials I wrote in 2013 and 2014. After hearing the testimony at the public hearings and reading the recommendations made by the joint review panel, my confidence in numerous aspects of the project has been seriously eroded. But my views in this space are my own and readers have every right to either ignore my views or

disagree and then write to me to say so. In the same way, readers are free to respond or not to any advertising that appears in our pages or on our website. There is no difference advertising in any other medium, venue or through the sponsorship of community events. A boycott of every company or organization in Prince George that has done business with Enbridge in the last five years would not only involve all the media outlets, including (gasp!) the CBC, as well as the movie theatres, but also numerous charities, not-for-profits and volunteer groups that have put on community events with the help of Enbridge sponsorship, including the 2015 Canada Winter Games. The insanity of a boycott against Tim Hortons or anyone else doing business with Enbridge is to take the rationale behind the boycott to its logical extreme. Since Enbridge and their employees pay taxes in

Prince George, the water coming out of the tap, the roads, the pools, the arenas were all partially paid for by Enbridge. Factor in the provincial and federal taxes and Enbridge helps sponsor schools, hospitals, highways and airports, too. Enbridge may have proposed running a pipeline through some of the most pristine wilderness in Canada to make a buck but, last we checked, neither making a buck nor pipelines were illegal. In fact, both are essential activities to the running of this country. Disagreeing with Northern Gateway is fine but tarnishing anyone who works for or does business with Enbridge is ridiculous. If Tim Hortons no longer wants to accept some of Enbridge’s ad dollars, that’s their choice. Then make way for the businesses that still do, starting with this one.

homes being without power. The costs to replace and repair the meters, housing, installation, all to be born by the user. In similar small scale cases with BC Hydro this means expenses paid by us, the taxpayers! The millions of dollars for replacement of all the Saskatchewan meters last year was also born by the taxpayer, not the CEO’s who make these uneducated decisions. In addition to the ongoing stream of smart meter challenges, “smart” meter programs: – are enshrouded in fiscal negligence; – are shown to NOT save energy; – are linked with systemic billing inaccuracy and widespread increase of bills; – facilitate “time-of-use” billing and future artificial austerity measures; – facilitate monitoring of your activities and external control of your home; – open the door to unprecedented hacking vulnerabilities; and – emit pulsed microwave radiation typically thousands of times stronger than a cell phone, leaving many unsuspecting homeowners feeling ill, killing pets, and affecting medical devices such as pacemakers. It is difficult to imagine a more blatant failure, or a more harmful deployment of unproven technology, at the risk of the public. How can utilities be getting away with it? More specifically, how is BC Hydro, supposedly a corporation owned by B.C. taxpayers, getting away with it? BC Hydro has demonstrated an appalling lack of response

to letters, being in legal default and ignoring these, making mistakes in billing, and having their employees dispense inaccurate information and withhold helpful information. Not expecting any answers, certainly not anything sensible from BC Hydro; just expressing frustration and attempting to educate.

This time the magazine was generous; they pulled the Valley’s anchor up off the bottom of the Slough of Despond. But not by very much, it seems. In one sense the Valley has had a bad reputation, some of which has to do with its location and industrial past (in the 1950s, 60s, and early 70s it enjoyed one of the highest per capita incomes in North America). But, in another sense the Valley is lucky, because the developers who are now raping Vancouver and the rest of the mainland of British Columbia, making life ugly and unaffordable, have passed the Valley by, preserving something of its natural charm and real worth. There’s nothing much wrong with the Alberni Valley or its people. Two years ago, when my wife and I were planning our return to Vancouver Island, Port Alberni was at the top of our “destination list.” Only one thing deterred us from moving there was its lack of adequate medical infrastructure. We are both seniors and in medical parlance “complex patients.” Aside from our strong and historical family ties to the Valley, my wife and I love the comparative freedom of its ready access to streams, rivers, the sea, the forests, and its farmlands.

Inlet ideal for paddleboard races Canal Beach Watersports Society hosts 2nd annual Alberni Canal Downwind Challenge MARTIN WISSMATH ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

The Alberni Inlet is the only place in B.C. where stand-up paddleboarders can enjoy a long down-wind race, says the director of the Canal Beach Watersports Society. It’s the geography of the Inlet and its thermal winds that makes this one of the best places in the province for paddleboarding, according to the CBWS director, Sandra Gentleman. The water sport society is organizing its second annual Alberni Canal Downwind Challenge this Saturday, June 13. Word is spreading about Alberni as a water sporting hotspot, said Gentleman, and they’re expecting about 50 paddleboarders from around the province to attend this weekend’s competition. “This is the only long Inlet [in B.C.] that they do races on,” said Gentleman. “Because the Alberni Valley is the hottest place on the Island – the sun beats down, it heats the Valley, and then it sucks in the cold, coast air.” That cool breeze streams up the Inlet predictably in the mid-after-

noon at about 3 p.m. every day, said Gentleman. That’s good for windsurfers, kiteboarders and paddleboarders. Gentleman helped to start the

Alberni Canal Downwind Challenge last year with the help of other experienced paddleboarders, who identify the Valley as a “special, unique place for the stand-up

paddleboard races,” she said. Stand-up paddleboarding is a fairly new water sport, popularized in the last 10 years. As the name implies, participants stand

upright and balanced on a board, propelled through the water with a paddle. Skilled racers can travel upwards of nine kilometres an hour, said Gentleman. Last year’s inaugural ACDC attracted almost 40 participants, and Gentleman said they’re hoping for at least 10 more this year. There are a variety of prizes for participants, including trophies, and even a hand-made flute. Categories are divided between men and women racers, with each separated into the raceboard and surfboard classes. Raceboards are faster and designed for more advanced paddleboarders. During the main race organizers have planned a fun relay for spectators at Canal Beach who can register a team of five. It’s meant as a creative way to introduce newcomers to the sport, said Gentleman. The race begins on Saturday at 3 p.m. Canal Beach will open for spectators at 2 p.m., but parking is available in the upper lot only, Gentleman said. Martin.Wissmath@avtimes.net

Bishop battles as Bolts win 3-2 to take the lead

Opening weekend sizzles at World Cup

STEPHEN WHYNO THE CANADIAN PRESS

CHICAGO — While Ben Bishop battled pain, the Tampa Bay Lightning and Chicago Blackhawks put on another fast, fun, classic performance in the Stanley Cup final. Bishop gutted through an apparent injury to make 36 saves, and Cedric Paquette scored the winner with three minutes left as the Lightning beat the Blackhawks 3-2 in Game 3 on Monday night at United Center. Tampa Bay takes a 2-1 series lead into Game 4 on Wednesday. Bishop looked like he couldn’t move side-to-side or up-and-down at times. At others he was brilliant, getting the job done despite obviously labouring. “He’s a competitor,” said Tampa forward Tyler Johnson. “He’s got all the confidence in the world from us. He never lets us down.” The Blackhawks beat him twice, a power-play goal by Brad Richards and one from the slot

by Brad Richards, but Bishop making it through all 60 minutes was an accomplishment in itself. “I thought he was excellent,” said Lightning coach Jon Cooper, who said he never considered pulling Bishop. At the other end, Ryan Callahan, Ondrej Palat and Paquette scored on Corey Crawford (29 saves) to improve the Lightning’s road record in these playoffs to 8-3. With a raucous sellout crowd of 22,336 roaring for the first Cup final game here in two years, the Lightning weren’t intimidated and came out flying. As coach Jon Cooper aggressively changed lines to get favourable matchups, players made it pay off. Victor Hedman made one of the game’s best heads-up plays by hitting Callahan perfectly at the blue line with a slap pass from inside his own goal line at 5:09. Callahan finished by firing top shelf on Crawford to open the scoring. More than 10 minutes of complete Blackhawks domination

followed. As Bishop fought through pain moving side to side and getting up and down, Chicago took 15 straight shots on net. One of them beat Bishop. Richards bombed away from the point on the power play, and with Andrew Shaw screening, tied the score 14:22 in. After ending a 13 minute 19 second shot drought and getting out-shot 19-7 in the first, the Lightning turned the tables in the second with 17 shots to the Blackhawks’ seven. Crawford stopped them all, none better than Nikita Kucherov’s breakaway out of the penalty box. “I think we responded well and played well the last 40 minutes,” said Hedman. Crawford also helped the Blackhawks kill a five-on-three power play for 1:26 that fired up the building and built some momentum. With Bishop fighting through the pain, the Lightning got caught on for a long shift in the third period that led to Chicago’s go-ahead goal.

EDMONTON — Sizzling pitchlevel heat was a storyline on the opening weekend of the Women’s World Cup. Fox Sports, on its game broadcast, reported temperatures at turf level had reached 54 degrees Celsius during the early afternoon Norway-Thailand match Sunday in Ottawa and 43 degrees for the Germany-Ivory Coast match that followed. FIFA listed the air temperature at 18 and 25 degrees, respectively, for the Ottawa doubleheader. A Fox sideline reporter said turf temperatures had reached 49 degrees in Edmonton for the Canada-China game Saturday. Air temperature was 26 degrees. The Canada and China coaches both referred to the heat in their post-game comments but did not point a finger at the artificial turf. “I think that was the one thing (Saturday) that anyone watching at home probably didn’t appreciate — the temperature on the field was very hot,” Canadian coach John Herdman said Sunday.

The Canadian team spent a week in Mexico prior to the tournament to get acclimated to heat. “We knew we could have some hot days (at the tournament) and we certainly got one,” said Herdman. “And it slows the game down.” Herdman said his data showed the team would hit a plateau and then spike in energy. It didn’t help that the Chinese lay back in defence, forcing the Canadians to expend more energy on attack.He said that took its toll on his players at times but was pleased with the high-tempo finish from the Canadians.Saturday’s Canada kickoff was 4 p.m. local time. It should be cooler Thursday when Canada’s game against New Zealand is a 7 p.m. start.Defender Kadeisha Buchanan said while Saturday was hot, the Canadians had prepared for it in advance of the tournament. They had spent a week in Mexico to get acclimated to the heat. “I didn’t find it scorching hot. I didn’t find it too too hot, like not (able) to function” she said of the China game. “But definitely there was a bit of heat.”

Toronto Blue Jays Jose Bautista and Chris Colabello celebrate scoring against the Miami Marlins during MLB action on Monday. [THE CANADIAN PRESS]

Jays beat Marlins for sixth staight win LARRY MILLSON THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — First baseman Chris Colabello extended his hit streak to 18 games and the Toronto Blue Jays scored six runs in the first for an 11-3 win over the Miami Marlins on Monday, extending their win streak to six. Designated hitter Josh Donaldson homered and had three runs batted in for the Blue Jays (29-30). Right-hander Marco Estrada (3-3) pitched seven innings for his second winning start in a row. He allowed seven hits and three runs in the opener of the three-game interleague series. Designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton homered for Miami (24-34). Marlins left-hander Brad Hand (1-2) allowed six hits and six runs in two-thirds of an inning. It was the first game between the teams since they made a blockbuster trade on Nov. 19, 2012. The Blue Jays sent catcher Jeff Mathis, shortstops Adeiny Hechavarria and Yunel Escobar, pitchers Henderson Alvarez, Justin Nicolino and Anthony DeSclafani and outfielder Jake Marisnick to the Marlins. Toronto received shortstop Jose Reyes, pitchers Mark Buehrle and Josh Johnson, infielder Emilio Bonifacio, and catcher John Buck from Miami. The Blue Jays scored six runs in a first inning that was started by a single by Reyes and a one-out single by right fielder Jose Bautista. Colabello then extended his hit streak to 18 games with an RBI single. Catcher Russell Martin walked, third baseman Danny Valencia hit a two-run double and centre-fielder Kevin Pillar hit a two-run single. After second baseman Munenori Kawasaki hit a two-out RBI double, Hand was replaced by right-hander Andre Rienzo. Donaldson led off the second with his 16th homer of the season. Blue Jays manager John Gibbons, who was celebrating his 53rd birthday, was ejected from the game in the second after Bautista struck out on a checked swing.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Try not to lose control in a discussion where someone considers him- or herself to be above the majority of people. Follow your intuition, and test out any solutions in your head before you verbalize them. Curb statements that could cause a problem. Tonight: Play it low-key. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Remain focused on your objectives, and don’t allow any uproar to distract you. Addressing one item at a time will be the best way to proceed. You might have to switch gears when you least expect to, and it could add to the present confusion. Tonight: Where your friends are. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Tension is likely to build as an authority figure starts causing a problem and creating additional pressure. You might be past the point of worrying about this person’s wishes, but that could cause you a major problem where you least want it. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. CANCER (June 21-July 22)

BEETLE BAILEY by Greg & Mort Walker

You might want to maintain a lower profile than usual. Anger might rise to the surface, but be smart and don’t reveal anything that you’d rather not discuss. Financial gain is possible if you can keep your eye on the big picture. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) It doesn’t take a genius to see how stressed out many of your friends and loved ones are. Listen carefully, and try to reconcile all the different opinions. One-onone relating will result in a different reaction from what you might have anticipated. Tonight: Work through a problem. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) When you try to initiate a conversation with a parent or higher-up, you could discover that there is a problem. You might feel as if this person is using you as his or her punching bag. Use your instincts, and you won’t make a bad decision. Tonight: Vanish while you can. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your focus and determination

continue to be your strong suits. Others might want to play devil’s advocate and go into deep reflection, but you will get the job done. Tension is likely to emerge because of what you must do. Tonight: Put your feet up and relax. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) An interesting conversation with a loved one or someone you are financially involved with is likely to spur your imagination. A discussion with an expert or an older friend will point you toward a positive path. Follow through, and don’t question yourself. Tonight: Be a duo. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be juggling more than you want to handle. You’ll see an important relationship or a matter involving your home experience some ups and downs. You might find it hard to be present, especially as others seem to be demanding! Tonight: Go for what you want. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Keep communication moving. You might feel as if you have too much information. You will want to change your approach with several people, especially if they are loose cannons. Listen to an associate who is argumentative, but wait to comment. Tonight: Relax. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might want to revise your thinking about a risk for now. Your creativity easily translates into ingenuity when dealing with a touchy associate or loved one. Don’t get your funds involved in any of your dealings, except when paying for lunch! Tonight: Pay bills. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might want to come to a better understanding of what is happening with a loved one. You could be overwhelmed by this person’s attitude, which is likely to be cantankerous and difficult. Go off and do something just for you. Tonight: Let the games begin!

Canada in focus as G7 calls for energy sector to shift German Chancellor Angela Merkel had put climate change at heart of agenda

MPs own expenses spared scrutiny

MIKE BLANCHFIELD THE CANADIAN PRESS

JOAN BRYDEN THE CANADIAN PRESS

SCHLOSS ELMAU, Germany — Canada’s energy sector will have to transform itself to lower greenhouse gas emissions in the long term, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Monday. He was commenting at the end of the G7 leaders’ summit which called on its members to put their energy sectors on a low-carbon footing by 2050, a move with serious implications for Canada’s greenhouse-gas-emitting oilsands. German Chancellor Angela Merkel fell short of her goal of pushing her fellow leaders to a broad, iron-clad commitment to a low-carbon economy by 2050. Instead, the G7 agreed to a fullblown no-carbon economy, but not until 2100. “We commit to doing our part to achieve a low-carbon global economy in the longterm, including developing and deploying innovative technologies striving for a transformation of the energy sectors by 2050 and invite all countries to join us in this endeavour,” the leaders said in their final communique. “To this end we also commit to develop long-term, national low-carbon strategies.” Asked what this means for Canada’s energy sector, Harper said: “Nobody’s going to start to shut down their industries or turn off the lights. We simply got to find a way to create lower-carbon emitting sources of energy.” Harper took part the G7 leaders’ shortened talks on climate change as the summit entered its second and final day. “All leaders understand that to achieve these kinds of milestones over the decades to come will require serious technological transformation,” Harper said. The Canadian Press has been told by sources who saw the working draft of the G7’s climate-change communique that Canada and Japan worked behind the scenes to water down the statement. Harper’s spokesman Stephen Lecce said that was “false,” noting the G7 reached a consensus

OTTAWA — As the very existence of the Senate is called into question over less than $1 million in allegedly improper spending by 30 senators, more than double that number of MPs have been accused over the past five years of mis-spending more than quadruple that amount. Yet unlike the Senate, there have been no external audits, no suspensions, no referrals to the police, no criminal investigations, no charges laid, and no auditor general poring over the minutiae of how MPs spend taxpayers’ dollars. Transgressions by MPs have been handled solely by the secretive, multi-party board of internal economy, which polices House of Commons spending and typically demands only that the improperly spent funds be reimbursed. A double standard? No question, says Garry Clement, a retired police chief and former RCMP superintendent in charge of financial crime investigations. “When you look at those cases (involving MPs) and actually what happened, it’s breach of trust,” Clement said in an interview. “I would suggest that every one of those could be supported under a criminal charge.” Since 2010, the board has demanded reimbursement from: • Liberal MP Judy Sgro, $60,000 in improperly claimed living expenses for renting an Ottawa condo she had sold to her children. • Liberal MP Wayne Easter, $8,050 in living expenses claimed for a property he no longer owned. • Former Liberal MP John Cannis, $106,842 for living expenses claimed for an apartment rented from his wife. • 68 current and former NDP MPs, $2.7 million for allegedly improperly using their Commons budgets to pay the salaries of staffers in satellite party offices. • 23 NDP MPs, $1.17 million for allegedly improperly using free parliamentary mailing privileges to send almost 2 million partisan missives. The board entirely missed the case of former Liberal cabinet minister Joe Fontana, convicted last year of fraud, breach of trust and uttering a forged document after using his parliamentary budget to pay for a banquet hall for his son’s wedding. That came to light through media reports years after the fact. The board has also ruled that former Bloc Quebecois leader Gilles Duceppe wrongly used parliamentary resources to pay the $100,000-plus annual salary of his party’s director general for six years. However, it did not demand reimbursement in that case because, it concluded, the rules governing the use of parliamentary resources were not clear at the time. The rules have since been clarified but not sufficiently to prevent a nasty dispute over NDP MPs’ subsequent use of parliamentary resources.

that Canada supported. Merkel placed the fight against climate change at the heart of her sweeping agenda. She wanted the G7 summit to give France momentum when it hosts the United Nations climate change conference this December, which aims to reach a breakthrough agreement in the fight to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Merkel had been pushing the G7 to endorse a pledge to reach zero carbon emissions, but Canada and Japan were holdouts. “Canada and Japan are the most concerned about this one,” said one source who was privy to discussions but would only speak on the condition of anonymity. “The two of those countries have been the most difficult on every issue on climate. They don’t want any types of targets in there, so I think they are trying to make it as vague as possible at this point.” Harper and Merkel spoke together on Sunday, but the prime minister’s office said they

did not discuss climate change. “It’s shocking that Mr. Harper didn’t even bother to bring up climate change as an issue for discussion during his bilateral meeting with Chancellor Merkel,” said New Democrat foreign affairs critic Paul Dewar. He said Harper is out of touch and sidelining Canada internationally. Liberal environment critic John McKay said the prime minister “has embarrassed Canada on the world stage.” “Other G7 countries have very clearly identified strong and immediate actions to tackle climate change,” McKay said in a statement. “Unfortunately, Mr. Harper is fixated on ensuring that he obstructs all progress nationally or internationally.” Harper’s office said in a statement that today’s French-led climate talks focused on the “collective response to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the advancement of energy security in the face of escalating threats.” It said the G7 leaders chose to

devote a portion of the climate session to a discussion of global security threats posed by Boko Haram militants in Nigeria and the ongoing fight against Islamic militants in Iraq and Syria. Harper’s only bilateral meeting on Monday was with newly elected Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari. A senior Canadian government official, speaking on the condition on anonymity, said Canada endorses a statement by the G7 that would support the December climate change talks in France. “We support agreement in Paris that includes all GHG emitting countries,” the official said, noting that in 2013 Canada’s emissions were 3.1 per cent below 2005 levels. While Canada’s emissions did drop below 2005 levels during the 2008-09 global recession, Environment Canada data shows they have been on a slow, steady increase for four years in a row up to 2013, the most recent year for which data is available.

POLITICS

Senate trio deny wrongdoing as they repay

JORDAN PRESS AND JOAN BRYDEN THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — A scathing report on the spending habits of Canadian senators suggests there’s a strong sense of entitlement among members of the upper chamber, many of whom often ignore “economical” options that would save taxpayers money. Auditor general Michael Ferguson makes the statement early in a highly anticipated report, coming Tuesday, that finds about $1 million in problematic spending after a two-year review of 80,000 transactions worth about $180 million. “We found that the oversight, accountability, and transparency of senators’ expenses was quite simply not adequate,” reads the report, a copy of which was reviewed by The Canadian Press. “We also found that senators did not always consider the

requirement to ensure that expenses funded through the public purse were justifiable, reasonable, and appropriate.” From stopovers on the way home to the choice of flight routes, Ferguson’s report identifies areas where senators could make decisions that are “more economical for taxpayers” — part of the “transformational change” he calls for in a report that reportedly carries a $21-million price tag. Part of that report is now in the hands of the RCMP, who have been asked by the Senate to review the files on nine of the most cavalier spenders. But the fallout won’t end there: The Mounties are also expected to look at the 21 other senators named in the audit and their tens of thousands of dollars in dubious claims before deciding if they, too, warrant criminal investigation.

B.C. farms declared to be free of avian ﬂu THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — British Columbia farms have been declared free of avian flu after a three-month surveillance period to ensure eradication of the disease in domestic poultry. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency says about two dozen countries that had restricted import of birds and bird products from B.C. may now resume normal operations. The H5N2 influenza outbreak that began last December affected 11 commercial chicken and turkey farms in the Fraser Valley, as well as a couple of backyard coops.

On Monday, a trio of top senators said they would repay expenses flagged in the audit, even though they felt they had done nothing wrong. Senate Speaker Leo Housakos, his deputy Nicole Eaton, and Senate Liberal leader James Cowan all said they would give up the right to appeal Ferguson’s findings. Together, they accounted for about $20,000, including Cowan’s $10,000 bill. Senate government leader Claude Carignan has also already repaid about $3,000 in questionable travel claims for one of his staff. The trio faced tough questions from their colleagues last week over why, despite having been named in Ferguson’s report, they were involved in setting up an arbitration process that gives senators a chance to potentially quash Ferguson’s findings.

Housakos, Cowan and Carignan were accused of having a conflict of interest for setting up a process that could end up helping them. Housakos said he repaid about $7,500 in all for travel by a staffer and contracts handed out through his office before he became Speaker because he didn’t want to impugn the “integrity of the process or the manner in which it was implemented.” Cowan, too, denied any conflict of interest, saying he continues to “respectfully disagree” with Ferguson’s claim that three trips to Toronto in 2011 were for personal events, rather than parliamentary business.

WINE

Match up wines and BBQ ďŹ&#x201A;avours over the summer A Pinot Gris goes best with seared salmon and fresh crab from the grill

Nutrition Notes

Milk still tops for nutrition

Sheila Hocking The Lucky Gourmet

ith the summer weather already upon us, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not difficult to locate those smells which means that backyard barbeques are well underway. Summer blue skies and warm temperatures create a perfect occasion for outdoor get togethersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; with family and friends. While it is understandable that most folks tend to fill up their cooler with beer for their grilling feast, there are some great wines that simply are a must have at your next outdoor BBQ event. To get the most out of your surf and turf menu, you really need to consider how the seafood is prepared to make the right choice in wine pairing. For example, to balance the oily richness of your fish, a Pinot Gris goes best with seared salmon and fresh crab from the grill dipped in rich creamy garlic butter. This opulent white wine is also a cousin of the Pinot Noir that offers balanced acidity, a silky mouth-feel and delicate aroma that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t over power seafood dishes. For less than $20, Blue Mountainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pinot Gris is rich in citrus and pear aromas, with notes of orange peel and a slight spice on the finish. For all the loving carnivores who salivate at the mere idea of a great big fat juicy steak or even a humble hamburger, a big bold Cabernet Sauvignon should be on the menu. That is because the tannins in the wine cut through

if you could only make one wine choice, then a dry rose is a must have.

the fattiness and richness from the steak making for an excellent pairing. At less than $25, Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wolf Blass Yellow Label Cabernet Sauvignon is a perfect choice. You will find that the flavours of blackcurrant and cherry with a subtle hint of oak and fine tannins produce a balanced palate that pairs really well with any grilled meat. However, if you could only make one wine choice, then a dry rose is a must have. Its versatility pairs well with everything from Dungeness crab to strip-loin steaks. From the Naramata area, Black Widow Rose offers a slightly spicy flavour with hints of

strawberry and raspberry leading to a palate of black cherry and plum before concluding to a fresh crisp finish. Made from 100% Syrah grapes and priced at less than $20, this intense salmon colored rose is a real winner. And to make a really good impression, a perfect salad to go with this rose would be a roasted beet and goat cheese topped with pistachios. Serve it on your favorite greens and toss it in a light dressing made with equal parts olive or pistachio oil and a sherry vinegar.

Some special recipes for making your own rubs Chef Dez On Cooking

Eileen Bennewith

ubs donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;rubbedâ&#x20AC;? onto meat. A simply dredging or sprinkling will do just fine, but that being said, any rubbing will help the spices to penetrate the meat better in most cases. I never purchase pre-made spice mixes from the store. I always get greater satisfaction from making my own and having them stored in labeled Mason jars. Today I would like to share

some of my favourite recipes with you because barbecue season is well under way. Take the time to start stocking miscellaneous individual dried spices and herbs like the ingredients mentioned in the recipes below, and start trying different combinations yourself. Smoked paprika comes in both sweet and hot varieties and it is far superior to just regular paprika. I prefer the sweet (mild) variety because I would rather control the amount of spiciness with ground cayenne pepper instead. Enjoy!

hen reading about milk and dairy products on the Internet, there are many confusing websites that would lead you to doubt the purity of the milk you are drinking. In Canada, milk meets strict government standards to make it both safe and healthy to drink. In some parts of the world, it is legal to use growth hormones to stimulate milk production in cows. This increases the amount of milk a farmer will get from each cow. There is a myth that milk in Canada is full of hormones. In Canada, these synthetic growth hormones are not approved for use by farmers and are not approved for sale. There are no hormones that should not be there naturally in milk from Canadian cows. The use of growth hormones may cause cows to develop infections. If a cow gets sick, she may need to be on antibiotics. Since we do not use growth hormones in Canada, cows are less likely to need antibiotics. Another common myth is that our milk is full of antibiotics. In Canada, if a cow needs antibiotics, there are strict regulations that the milk from that cow must be disposed of for a mandatory length of time to allow all antibiotics to get out of her system. Milk is tested before it leaves the farm to make sure that there are no traces of antibiotics in any of the milk in the tank. Any milk containing antibiotics must be destroyed and cannot enter the food system. Another common dairy myth is that raw milk is better for you than pasteurized milk. Milk is pasteurized to destroy harmful disease causing bacteria that may be in the milk. To do this, the milk is not boiled, but heated only to a temperature that destroys the bacteria that can make you sick. The vitamins and minerals in milk are not harmed by this heating process. Pasteurization is an important process to make the milk safe to drink. In the time before pasteurization, many people became sick from drinking raw milk. The types of bacteria that cause illness from raw milk have changed over the years so drinking raw milk today can cause a much more serious illness than it did in the past. Milk is the source of 16 different nutrients necessary for growth and good health. These include protein, Vitamin A, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, Riboflavin, Niacin, Thiamine, Pantothenic Acid, Folate, Vitamin D, Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Zinc, and Selenium. Milk produced in Canada is safe to drink and will give you many nutrients as part of a healthy diet. Âť Eileen Bennewith is a registered dietitian in the public health program for Island Health.

Depleted cattle herds could drive up beef prices THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Shocked by what the local grocer is charging for your favourite steak or ground beef for the grill? Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not alone. Industry experts have warned a cattle shortage would send prices through the roof this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thinking of barbecue, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very top of mind right now,â&#x20AC;? says Sylvain Charlebois, a professor with the University of Guelphâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Food Institute. He says retail beef prices have risen about 40 per cent over the past three years and the trend has continued to build each month from January through April,

according to the most recent food prices compiled by Statistics Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still momentum upward. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve actually reached our peak yet.â&#x20AC;? That view is shared by Kevin Grier. The independent food industry analyst in Guelph, Ont., says the North American cattle herd has been on the decline for about 15 years but 2014 and 2015 has been â&#x20AC;&#x153;kind of a tipping point.â&#x20AC;? Grier says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been recently swamped by calls about beef prices, which he monitors as well as pork and chicken prices. Grocery flyers were advertising popular cuts of steak at $4.99 a pound (about $11

a kilogram) as recently as two years ago, Grier says, but that was before prices went up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing $7.99, $8.99, $9.99. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the specials.â&#x20AC;? Charlebois says as shocking as it has been for Canadian beef lovers to see prices rise, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a phenomenon being experienced around the Western world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look at the United States, for example. Since 2009, beef prices have almost doubled. So the increase in the United States has actually been higher than it has been in Canada,â&#x20AC;? Charlebois says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Herds in the United States are much more depressed than in Canada.â&#x20AC;?
