Water levels low for salmon Researcher says temperatures too high for sockeye MARTIN WISSMATH ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

Winters, a tenant who was already using the waterfront land when the lease was made. “Industrial or marine enterprise does not include log salvage operations similar to those being undertaken on the land prior to the effective date of this lease,” states the document. The land deal faced some public frustrations when it was made last year as residents were left out of private negotiations made between the city, port authority and Alberni Engineering. According to B.C.’s Community Charter, discussions over the acquisition of public land can be made in camera, but an online petition is quickly gaining support to cancel the unsuccessful property deal. By Monday afternoon 240 names were collected on the Change.org notice.

Sockeye salmon in the Somass River and Alberni Inlet are being held back by warm temperatures and low water levels, says a research scientist with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. An usually warm winter and dry spring have left a near-record low snowpack on Vancouver Island’s mountains, leaving rivers and streams with less water than normal this summer. Sockeye salmon are not moving as they should, said Dr. Ian Perry, a researcher with the DFO. “Basically they just kind of pool up and wait for the river temperatures to go down,” Perry said, adding the fish are cold-blooded and react poorly to the heat, which depletes their energy. Temperatures of nearly 24 degrees Celsius in the Sproat River are approaching the “lethal limit,” according to the DFO. Low water levels are even more of a problem for the salmon, Perry noted. “We’ve had such a dry May and June,” he said. “It makes it hard for the fish to migrate up [the river.]” Unusual winds caused a warm body of water – also known as “The Blob” – in the Pacific Ocean was detected in 2013 in the Gulf of Alaska. That warm water has moved to the west coast of North America, stretching from Alaska down to Mexico, and is expected to persist until the end of the year. The higher water temperatures bring predators, such as mackerel, up to the Island that are normally only seen down in California, Perry said. The mackerel eat the small, young salmon that migrate out of the Inlet in the spring. This warmer area of ocean has allowed a large bloom of toxic algae to grow up from California to the West Coast, which has adversely affected the quality of food for salmon. The area around the algae contains fewer crustaceans and krill; instead there are more gelatinous plankton, which is not as nutritious for fish, said Perry. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency will be monitoring the salmon to test them for dangerous levels of domoic acid – a neurotoxin contained in the plankton, Perry noted. There is no danger from swimming in the ocean water or ingesting small amounts, he added. A combination of higher temperatures, lower water levels and poor nutrition could result in fewer salmon in the next two or three years, Perry said.

Plywood site lease under axe ERIC PLUMMER ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

Members of city council are taking steps to cancel the lease of a municipally owned waterfront property next to Canal Beach after seeing no signs of development on the site. In an email to the Times on Monday Coun. Chris Alemany spoke of plans to kill the land deal with the Port Alberni Port Authority, which began July 1, 2014. If approved by city council, the 90-day notice of termination would begin July 15. “Barring any significant changes in circumstances between now, the in camera and the regular meeting tonight, you can expect Sharie (Minions) and I to put forward this notice of motion,” said Alemany on Monday. The councillor’s notice of motion pertains to an agreement drafted between the city and the port authority last year

ALEMANY

to develop the former Alberni Plywood site, a long underused property since the mill shut down operations in 1991. In 2013 one third of the old plywood site was converted into Canal Beach, and last year ambitious plans from Canadian Alberni Engineering to expand its shipyards onto the remainder of the waterfront land led to a $1,200-a-month arrangement with the city to make the prop-

erty available. The port authority intended to sublease the site to Alberni Engineering for a development that was expected to create nearly 100 well-paying jobs through the shipyard expansion, but nearly one year into the lease an agreement has not been inked between PAPA and the shipbuilding operation – or any other company. “The port authority has been fulfilling all of its obligations to the city under the terms of the lease,” said David McCormick, the port authority’s director of public relations and business development. But time is running out for obligations to be met once the lease reaches the one-year mark on July 1. Stipulations of the agreement state that industrial activity must be commenced within the first year – not including the log sorting and de-watering operations of Tony

Man admits to sexual interference with minor Judge considers First Nations background in sentencing

A 23-year-old man from Ahousaht pleaded guilty to sexual interference of a person under 16 in the Port Alberni Law Courts on Monday. Gregory Charlie appeared in Port Alberni Supreme Court on Monday morning, facing a charge of sexual interference from an incident that took place in Ahousaht on Nov. 23, 2013. Charlie stood in the defendant’s box as Justice Robin Baird asked him for his plea. Charlie spoke so quietly that

Baird had to ask him to repeat his answer. “Guilty,” Charlie said. A pre-sentence report will be prepared before Charlie’s sentencing, which will take place in Tofino in November. Justice Baird said Charlie’s cultural background as a First Nations member will be considered in his sentencing. Ahousaht is a small Nuuchah-nulth First Nation community on Flores Island, about 20 kilometres north of Tofino. Sexual interference is defined in the Criminal Code as someone who, “for a sexual purpose,

touches, directly or indirectly, with a part of the body or with an object, any part of the body of a person under the age of 16 years.” Indictable offences are punishable up to 10 years and summary convictions up to 18 months in prison. The minimum punishment is 90 days of jail time. The Crown withdrew the indictment for Charlie’s case and will proceed on a summary conviction. Indictable offences are more severe and carry longer maximum sentences. news@avtimes.net

50-year-old Alberni man with violent history sentenced to six months for assaulting mom

A Port Alberni man with an aggressive past was sentenced to another six months in jail after pleading guilty for assaulting his mother. Franco M. Veltri, 50, was in Port Alberni Supreme Court on Monday facing charges of assault, possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose and possession of a controlled substance. On July 3, 2013, Veltri’s mother awoke in her Port Alberni home as her son entered her bedroom in a rage. Veltri, who was unemployed and staying with his mother, was angry that she had cancelled some of his favourite cable TV channels, described Crown prosecutor Grahame Merke. Veltri slapped his mother three times in the face and shoved her against the wall, breaking a small table as she fell, Merke noted. He then took her to the kitchen where she sat down as he continued fuming while squeezing a pair of hedge clippers. Veltri’s mother asked him if he would move out if she gave him back his rent money; he agreed. Mother and son then drove to a bank so she could withdraw the cash. At the bank, the teller noticed how upset Ms. Veltri was, and asked her what was the matter. When she explained, the teller called the police. When Veltri was later arrested, police found 42 grams of marijuana on him, Merke stated. He was released on bail with conditions. Veltri has a history of violence. His lawyer, Jordan Watt, noted that he was arrested in 1983 and served four years in prison for manslaughter. Since then he has been in and out of prison on assault charges, though there

was a gap in his record for nine years from 1992–2001. Veltri sat in the defendant’s box and hung his head in silence as the case was read out in court. “This is a most unfortunate set of circumstances,” said Justice Robin Baird, adding that Veltri’s actions have left his mother in distress; since the incident she has a fear of men and feels lonely, having no other family in the city, Baird said. The case also involves elder abuse, he said, since Veltri’s mother was 65 years old at the time of the assault. She has a right to feel safe in her own house, Baird said. Veltri’s last conviction was for assault in 2009. “You were accumulating a very significant record to violence,” said Baird. “This sentence today has to have a deterrent element to it, and that’s why you’re going to jail today.” Veltri was sentenced to six months in prison and 16

On Friday, Miles and Ann Johnson celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in Port Alberni. Although the couple only spent a very short time living in town in the 1960s, it was where they were engaged and they decided to return to mark the occasion. The couple met on a blind date on March 27, 1964. The following day they woke up to the devastation of the tsunami set off by the Alaskan earthquake. That did not phase them and the two remained in Port Alberni for a few more months. Both from England, Ann was born in London and completed her nursing training there. Just out of school, she and two friends came to Canada on a travel adventure. Their first stop was in Montreal in early 1963 where the three all worked as nurses in a hospital. Shortly after, they decided to drive across the country and ended up in Port Alberni, where they picked up jobs at the local hospital. Trained in drafting and mechanical design, Miles was unable to find work in England, so he moved to Victoria in 1960. “I worked any job I could get,” he said. Three years later, he too, moved to Port Alberni in the same year as Ann. He worked as a mechanic at the Ford dealer. As an avid car enthusiast, Miles was involved in a recreational car club and it was through friends there that he met Ann. He remembers placing first in a hill climbing race driving his MGA on the highway. “I knew a man in the club whose wife worked with Ann at the hospital,” Miles said. “There was a Christmas event coming up and she wanted us to meet so we went to it together.” After Miles proposed the following March, Ann had a road

trip planned with her girlfriends. They drove through the southwest United States and sailed back to England, where she would meet up with Miles. At the same time, he bought a ring at Hudson’s Bay and mailed it to her while he worked in North Vancouver. By the time they were reunited in June 1964, they held a large wedding at St. Mary’s in Essex. The couple moved back to Vancouver that year, where they had their daughter. Four years later, Miles was laid off from his job as a draftsman so they moved to Oregon. Both gainfully employed in Portland, Ann in the labour and delivery unit of a hospital and Miles as a senior mechanical designer at an electronics company, they had their second child, a son. When Miles retired in 2002, they decided it was a good chance to do more travelling and have taken destination cruises to Alaska, Peru, Greece, Turkey, Hawaii, Mexico and the Panama Canal. They only returned to Port Alberni in the mid-1970s for a brief stay and trip on the Lady Rose. Returning this year to the place their relationship began, the changes were noticeable. “When we lived here, it used to be Alberni and Port Alberni,” Miles said. “It has changed a tremendous amount. I hardly recognize it. There’s a new hospital and we drove around trying to find my old apartment but I think it has been torn down.” “Things never stay the same, they are always changing,” Ann said. They only stayed two nights in Port Alberni, but were able to take in Harbour Quay, Sproat Lake and a visit to the Alberni Valley Museum. The entire family, including two grandchildren, all reside in Portland.

months of probation with conditions. He is forbidden to have any contact with his mother during and after his prison sentence, and prohibited from firearms or weapons for 10 years. He is not allowed to carry a knife except to use while eating. A victim surcharge was waived because Veltri probably wouldn’t be able to pay it, Baird said. News@avtimes.net 250-723-8171

Canadian military must get wiring straight

A

fter reading Gen. Tom Lawson’s comments on sexual abuse in the military, a generous observer might say something like: “What we have here is failure to communicate.” The problem, however, wasn’t his “awkward” remarks about how some men are “biologically wired” to sexually harass women. The fact is the advance of western civilization has struggled and still struggles to control male behaviour with regard to women. The problem wasn’t what Gen. Lawson said. It’s what he did not say. Even when he had the opportunity to correct himself, the general merely said biology is no excuse for male-dominated groups to act like wild dogs around women. No kidding.

The Canadian Armed Forces has had policies against sexual harassment since 1988, the same year a ruling by a Canadian Human Rights Tribunal forced the military to “fully integrate women into regular and reserve Forces (with the exception of submarines, which came later); remove all employment restrictions and implement new occupational personnel-selection standards; and devise a plan to steadily, regularly and consistently achieve complete integration within 10 years.” It’s been a rocky road since, and the military has updated its policies on harassment several times without much success in rewiring male biology, to use the general’s terminology. In fact, it seems as the number of women in the Forces has risen (to roughly 15 per

cent), the incidence of harassment has gone up in lockstep. A road map to meaningful change was offered earlier this year in a report by former Supreme Court justice Marie Deschamps, who described the military as a cesspool of primitive macho culture, where women and members of the LGBTQ community are subjected to abuse, demeaning comments and sexual assault. Ms. Deschamps said conditions had not improved since the last internal examination of the problem 20 years ago. And that study was preceded by “no less than five studies... on harassment.” In response, Gen. Lawson refused to commit to implementing her report, including a critical recommendation for independent investigations of complaints.

Women said they did not trust the military process, and many victims were afraid to come forward with complaints. A special unit has since been appointed to implement the recommendations, but the commander of the investigative team has said it could take months or years to get it done. Gen. Lawson missed an opportunity to promise tough new measures against sexual harassment and to apologize on behalf of the military for taking so damn long to get serious. If he needed inspiration, he could have looked up the words of Australian army chief Lt.-Gen. David Morrison. “I will be ruthless in ridding the Australian army of people who cannot live up to its values, and I

need every one of you to support me in achieving this,” he said. “If that does not suit you, then get out... There is no place for you among this band of brothers and sisters.” Now, there’s a man whose biological handicaps aren’t interfering with his judgment. The Canadian Armed Forces, unfortunately, has had trouble getting its wiring straight. Gen. Lawson retires this summer, replaced by Lt.-Gen. Jonathan Vance, who distinguished himself in Afghanistan as a gifted thinker and strategist, a leader who didn’t accept excuses. Let’s hope that extends to getting real about sexual abuse in the military.

I have also become quite lethargic and tired something that has come on suddenly. I am a fit active male who cycles and swims regularly. For your information I do not have a cell phone nor a wireless router for my computer. I do have a microwave oven and note in the instruction manual that one should not open the door while the oven is in operation and until the warning tones have stopped. BC Hydro is ramming this smart meter project down our throats even though they know its not all it was meant to be. People who refuse a meter are forced to pay a $33 monthly fee for meter reading even though it is read every two months. I pay more for this “meter fee” than I do for electricity. Other people have been threatened with power cut off if they do not accept the smart meter, people who are old, sick or shut in. Olynyk is pushing nonsense on people and I truly wonder if he believes what he says or is just paid to say it.

Measurement Canada tests only for accuracy. Second, the BC Safety Standards Act (section 21) exempts Hydro equipment from being certified safe by CSA on the condition that a professional electrical engineer licensed in B.C. certifies the equipment to be safe. We have asked for this certification and Hydro said they do not have it. The American National Standards Institute, and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers are professional groups affiliated with the industry whose certifications do not satisfy the requirements of the BC Safety Standards Act. ITRON meters have overheated, melted and burned in BC, and in a Texas court case testimony included the fact that many ITRON meters, the same model installed in BC homes, have failed and caused fires. These meters have a lithium metal battery that can explode when overheated (like in the summer sun) or when exposed to moisture (like condensation). There are others design flaws that can and do make these devices fire hazards that should not be on our homes. When are BC Hydro and this government going to start telling the public the truth about these meters? Why aren’t they?

Current airport users pay a pittance in rents. We taxpayers deserve to know what rents and user fees will be charged at the airport if it’s expanded. As usual, the regional district has avoided dealing with these important issues. Certainly the largest user can’t continue paying less than $10,000 in rent annually. Further, no one has explained why an expanded airport would all of a sudden have scheduled airline service. There’s absolutely no reason why that would occur because the passenger volumes to Comox, Nanaimo, or Long Beach would continue to be inadequate. We have unlimited speculations about what may happen at an expanded airport, but very few facts to support them other than a possible Coulson expansion. Richard Berg Port Alberni

Don’t believe stories about Smart Meters Re: ‘BC Hydro Smart Meters are safe, well-tested’ June 19, Page 4 I have just finished reading the letter by BC Hydro’s Ted Olynyk with regards to Smart Meters.

here in BC and Olynyk claims they are safe, (this) is something that a good newspaper should investigate. His comments were totally wrong and proof of meter fires is available on the Youtube site. I am not a member of the “tin hat brigade” as many people think of us but a citizen who is feeling the effects. My neighbour’s smart meter faces my bedroom, is 10 feet away and in line with my headboard. Every morning I awaken at 4 am something that never happened before that meter was installed. As a frequent traveller who spends time in hotels this “alarm clock” does not happen there.

Smart Meters are not proven to be safe Ted Olynyk and BC Hydro keep telling everyone that the ITRON smart meters are well tested and safe. Reality does not match this statement. First, the implication that Measurement Canada tests meters for safety is untrue and deliberately misleading.

Tsunami swim club heading to provincials Alberni team wins medals at Vancouver Island Championship this month, ready for next challenge ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

The Port Alberni Tsunami Swim Club raked in a healthy haul of medals and ribbons at the Vancouver Island Championship in early June and is now heading to the B.C. provincials. Ayden Jager (15) and Anamika Giesbrecht (10) are representing the club at Swim BC AA provincial championship in Kamloops. Trey Lightburn (10), Coral Ridinger (11), Logan Jager (10) and Corynn Ayres (11) will be competing in early July at the Swim B.C. AAA provincial championship. “Both of these championships have tough qualifying standards and the club is very proud of the achievements of these hardworking athletes,” stated the team coach, Veronique Jager, in a press release. A number of other swimmers just missed out on qualifying for provincials and the club expects that this will be a strong starting point for the next season. “We have some really skilled

up and coming swimmers who are highly motivated and dedicated,” said head coach Veronique Jager. “The time standards get harder every year so it can be a challenge to reach those levels, but with hard work, success is attainable.” Additionally the novice group (Fundamentals) has a quite a

few very strong young swimmers who will be moving up groups and bringing additional energy and dynamics to the club as a whole, Jager noted. “The majority of the club’s swimmers are Learn-to-Swim or Fitness, and though we do encourage all members aged five and over to attend meet...it

is not mandatory,” Jager stated. “Ultimately, we want the kids to have fun while becoming stronger and more confident swimmers.” The swim club season ends after AAA provincials and will begin again in mid-September.

WOMEN’S WORLD CUP

Canada to tackle England next in quarter-finals NEIL DAVIDSON THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — Canada’s road to the Women’s World Cup semifinals goes through England. The sixth-ranked Lionesses defeated No. 11 Norway 2-1 in Ottawa on Monday to set up a quarter-final showdown with No. 8 Canada in Vancouver on Saturday. Canada’s all-time record against England is 5-6 although John Herdman’s team also holds a 2-0 win over Great Britain in the quarter-finals of the London Olympics. The Canadians edged England 1-0 in Hamilton on a highlight-reel goal from Sophie Schmidt in the final warmup for both teams prior to the World Cup. The English, however, were still getting acclimatized after landing in North American and did not field their top lineup. The Hamilton win ended a four-match losing streak against England. The two teams have some links. Herdman is a native of New-

castle and was linked to the England job after Hope Powell was fired in September 2013. A month later, he signed a contract extension with Canada that takes him through the

2020 Olympics. Mark Sampson, 32, took over the Lionesses. Midfielder Desiree Scott is the lone Canadian playing in the English league. The Winnipeg native will face

Notts Counties Ladies FC teammates Alex Greenwood, Laura Bassett, Ellen White and Carly Telford on the England squad. England made it to the knockout stages by virtue of

finishing second in Group F. Sampson’s team bounced back from an opening-day 1-0 loss to France to beat Mexico and Colombia by 2-1 margins. The English are taking part in their fourth World Cup, with Monday’s win over Norway their first in the knockout round. In each of their previous three tournaments, they survived the group stage but were beaten in the quarter-finals — by France in a penalty shootout in 2011, the U.S. in 2007 and Germany in 1995. In 2011 in Germany, England was the only team to beat eventual world champion Japan, with a 2-0 decision in the group round. In qualifying for the Canadian tournament, England won all 10 of its matches and conceded just one goal. Canada’s 1-0 win over Switzerland on Sunday in the round of 16 was its first ever victory over a European side at the World Cup. Canada’s tournament record against Europe going into the game was 0-9-1.

Vegas welcomes the hockey world to town STEPHEN WHYNO THE CANADIAN PRESS

LAS VEGAS — This week, Las Vegas hopes to shine bright as the centre of the hockey universe. With expansion buzz impossible to ignore, Sin City welcomes the NHL this week for yet another awards show. But most importantly general managers and the board of governors meet to determine the league’s short- and long-term future. The hockey world will be in town to see Las Vegas at its sizzling finest. “Big events and hospitality is what we do,” Cara Clarke of the Las Vegas Metro chamber of commerce said. “That’s Las Vegas.” For the first time, GMs will meet in Las Vegas and at an opportune time for trade talk leading up to this weekend’s draft in Sunrise, Fla. Previously they met at the Stanley Cup final. With the Chicago Blackhawks and other teams up against the salary cap, the landscape is primed for movement. “Everybody sort of trying to get a real good solid view of the landscape ahead of each and every one of us heading into the draft,” Boston Bruins GM Don Sweeney said on a conference call last week. “I think everybody is sort of in the same boat and taking inventory.” On Tuesday the GMs will find out the salary cap for next season, which commissioner Gary Bettman projected to be somewhere in the US$70-71 million range. Even that small a range “can make a difference” for cap-strapped teams, Philadelphia Flyers GM Ron Hextall said Friday. No matter where the cap is, players will be on the move The Blackhawks could look to shed the contracts of Patrick Sharp and Bryan Bickell, the Toronto Maple Leafs are expected to try to deal Phil Kessel, and the Ottawa Senators and Vancouver Canucks are among the teams with goaltenders to trade. The Cup-champion Blackhawks may be among the most active teams in the trade market.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might be fussier than you realize. Unexpected uproar could force you to regroup and rethink a problem. A loved one cares much more about you than you are aware. This person keeps trying to engage you in conversation; let it happen. Tonight: Know when to crash. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) There may be hassles to deal with, but your imagination will clear them up before they get any bigger. What a friend says will fit well with your present knowledge. Don’t just assume that this person is wrong; instead, learn more and make a judgment later. Tonight: All smiles. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Pressure seems to build on the homefront. You quickly will determine what is workable and what is not. Your mind is working overtime, as it knows that you need some answers. Curb a tendency toward sarcasm, as it will get you nowhere. Tonight: Work off some steam. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Don’t hesitate to speak your mind and get a more insightful

perspective. You might be surprised by someone’s news. Take time digesting what you hear. Is it possible you are not on the same page as this person? Express your feelings before you explode. Tonight: Out late. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Be aware of your finances, and don’t take an unnecessary risk. You could have a difficult time making a decision, as there is so much distraction going on around you. You actually might have more questions than you did before. Tonight: Know that an invitation could be costly. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You are capable of achieving much more than you realize. Others, though touchy and unpredictable, will want to gain your favor or please you. Be willing to take the next step to move forward with a project. You might be reluctant on some level. Tonight: Out and about. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Staying quiet might be the best decision, as so much is happening so quickly. You know that small issues are likely to go away with time.

to today’s tale. You might hear news from a distance that makes you very happy. Tonight: Read between the lines. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Stay on top of a personal matter. Don’t be as forthright and direct as you tend to be. Words said now could provoke controversy later. You will want to rethink your approach to certain situations, especially as you see them change throughout the day. Tonight: Get some R and R. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might be taken aback by what is happening around you. Understand that a boss or parent feels obligated to say what he or she is thinking, even if you don’t want to hear it. A close loved one is likely to demonstrate his or her caring. Tonight: Listen to suggestions first. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be at a point where you feel as if you have no other choice but to state what is on your mind. Someone might be concocting a plan that seems a bit off-base. Maintain a sense of humor, as others could be unusually stiff. Tonight: Listen to a friend’s suggestion. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) A partner or dear friend might want to establish dominance. You’ll feel inclined to let the situation play out and not make any dramatic changes. Your mind could wander off to many creative ideas when given some free time. Tonight: Don’t hesitate to ask for what you want. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You have so much on your mind that it might be difficult to stay focused. A partner or associate could be making demands. It seems to be this person’s way or the highway. Your best bet is to be ready for any kind of critical comments. Tonight: Say “yes” to a nice offer.

Mountie gets prison for perjury Const. Kwesi Millington colluded with fellow ofďŹ cers at Robert Dziekanski inquiry “It’s some justice, finally, after almost eight years. I’m now shaking, but I start crying because I was waiting eight years (for) this sentence.â€?

GEMMA KARSTENS-SMITH THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — A British Columbia Mountie convicted of lying to a public inquiry into the death of a Polish immigrant has been sentenced to two and a half years in prison. RCMP Const. Kwesi Millington was found guilty of perjury earlier this year after a B.C. Supreme Court judge ruled he colluded with his fellow officers to fabricate testimony given at the inquiry looking into the death of Robert Dziekanski. Millington jolted Dziekanski several times with a Taser after he and three other officers approached him at Vancouver’s airport in October 2007. Dziekanski died on the floor of the airport. The four officers were charged with perjury after their testimony to the inquiry and tried separately, resulting in two acquittals and two convictions. Within hours of the sentencing on Monday, Millington’s lawyer filed an appeal of the conviction. Justice William Ehrcke said in his sentencing decision that perjury is a very serious offence that under-

mines the administration of justice, and Millington’s lies hampered the public inquiry. “That false explanation stood in the way of getting to a true explanation,� Ehrcke told the court. Dziekanski’s mother, Zofia Cisowski, wept openly in the packed gallery after the sentence was read. Outside the court, she said that she’s pleased that Millington is headed to prison.

“It’s some justice, finally, after almost eight years,� Cisowski said. “I’m now shaking, but I start crying because I was waiting eight years (for) this sentence.� Dziekanski spoke no English and had been waiting at Vancouver International Airport for 10 hours. Police were called when he began throwing furniture in the international arrivals’ area.

A bystander’s video showed that within seconds of arriving the officers surrounded the man and then shocked him with the Taser. The officers all told the public inquiry that Dziekanski picked up a stapler and posed a threat. They were charged two years after their testimony. Millington was found guilty in February. Millington’s lawyer had asked for a one year conditional sentence, while the Crown sought three years behind bars. The judge said he had considered many factors in deciding the sentence, including the difficulties

police officers have serving time in prison, and more than 50 letters people wrote to support the officer’s character. The sentence also needed to denounce the officer’s actions and provide a deterrence, Ehrcke said. Gordon Comer, spokesman for the B.C. Criminal Justice Branch, said Millington will begin his sentence on Monday, but can apply for bail, pending a decision on his appeal. Millington is the first to be sentenced. The other officer found guilty of perjury, former corporal Benjamin (Monty) Robinson, will be sentenced July 24. Const. Bill Bentley and Const. Gerry Rundel were acquitted. Earlier this month, the B.C. Court of Appeal tossed out a bid by prosecutors to have Bentley’s acquittal overturned. Comer said the four cases all had slight differences, so varying results are not unusual. “There are subtle differences, and people would have to read the different (judge’s written) reasons for each of those to get a sense of those differences,� Comer added.

Alberta premier apologizes for residential schools DEAN BENNETT THE CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — Premier Rachel Notley apologized Monday on behalf of Alberta to indigenous peoples for abuse in residential schools, and added her voice to an inquiry for missing and murdered aboriginal women. “We want the First Nation, Metis and Inuit people of Alberta to know that we deeply regret the profound harm and damage that occurred to generations of children forced to attend residential schools,� said Notley in a speech to the house. “Although the province did not establish this system, members of this chamber at the time did not take a stand against it. And for this silence, we apologize.� In the gallery watching the speech were a number of invited guests of the premier, including residential school survivors. Earlier this month, the national Truth and Reconciliation Commission detailed more than a century

NOTLEY

of institutionalized abuse of generations of aboriginal children in residential schools. The report, based on interviews with thousands of survivors, detailed the plight of youngsters forcibly separated from their families to endure loneliness, cruelty and physical and mental abuse tantamount to “cultural genocide.� The commission estimated more than 6,000 children, about one in 25, died in the residential schools, the

last of which didn’t close until 1996. The report made 94 recommendations to repair the bonds between the country and its founding peoples, including that Canada adopt and implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as the framework for reconciliation. “This past is too painful to endure on your own,� Notley told the survivors. In the journey of reconciliation you no longer have to walk alone.� Notley also urged Ottawa to convene an inquiry on missing and murdered aboriginal women. Numerous provincial, national and international organizations, including a committee of the United Nations, have been calling for such an inquiry to shed light on the root causes for the disproportionately high number of indigenous women who are missing or have been murdered. “With full conviction, we lend our voice and our conscience to doing

right by the women, their families and their communities,� said Notley. “The silence that once was, has long since passed.� Last week, the RCMP reported that since 1980, there have been 1,049 murdered aboriginal women and another 175 have disappeared. Police said most of the time, the women were killed by family members or men they knew. Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government has resisted calls for an inquiry, saying more study is not needed and that steps are being taken to remedy the problems. Opposition Wildrose Leader Brian Jean applauded Notley’s statement but said she needs to go further. He said rather than just ask the federal government for action, she could act now by spending more money to improve standards for aboriginal children in care, adding funds to address fetal alcohol disorders, or deliver more cash for the RCMP to investigate missing persons.

Obama says his nation has not been ‘cured’ of racism

Lawyer says Furlong had to respond to accusations of criminal acts

President uses racial epithet during podcast in aftermath of church shootings

VANCOUVER — A lawyer for John Furlong says his client was entitled to respond to the “sustained attacks” of a journalist whose articles contained allegations of physical abuse against First Nations students in northern British Columbia. John Hunter says the former Vancouver Olympics chief executive officer had the legal right to defend himself against what he described as two incendiary articles that attacked Furlong’s character. They were written in 2012 by journalist Laura Robinson, who is suing Furlong for defamation in relation to comments he made after the stories were published. Hunter says he will argue that Robinson used her position as a journalist and the privilege of the courts to make untrue allegations that Furlong committed serious criminal acts. He says Furlong will testify about the impact the articles had on his life, including cancelled speaking engagements, a refusal to take on new commitments and psychological harm. Robinson’s lawyer has told court that Furlong’s decision to drop his own defamation case against the journalist meant her articles were true.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama says the United States has not overcome its history of racism and is using the N-word to make his case. In an interview, Obama weighed in on the debate over race and guns that has erupted after the arrest of a white man for the racially motivated shooting deaths of nine black church members in Charleston, South Carolina. “Racism, we are not cured of it,” Obama said. “And it’s not just a matter of it not being polite to say (N-word) in public. That’s not the measure of whether racism still exists or not. “It’s not just a matter of overt discrimination. Societies don’t, overnight, completely erase everything that happened 200 to 300 years prior.” Obama’s remarks came during an interview out Monday with comedian Marc Maron for his popular podcast, where crude language is often part of the discussion. The president said while attitudes about race have improved significantly since he was born to a white mother and black father, the legacy of slavery “casts a long shadow and that’s still part of our DNA that’s passed on.” Obama also expressed frustration that “the grip of the NRA (National Rifle Association) on Congress is extremely strong” and prevented gun control from advancing in Congress after 20 children and six educators were massacred in a Connecticut elementary school in 2012. “I will tell you, right after Sandy Hook, Newtown, when 20 6-year-olds are gunned down, and Congress literally does nothing — yes, that’s the closest I came to feeling disgusted,” he

said. “I was pretty disgusted.” He said it’s important to respect that hunting and sportsmanship are important to a lot of gun-owning Americans. “The question is just is there a way of accommodating that legitimate set of traditions with some common-sense stuff that prevents a 21-year-old who is angry about something or confused about something, or is racist, or is deranged from going into a gun store and suddenly is packing, and can do enormous harm,” Obama

said in a reference to suspect Dylann Storm Roof, whose purported 2,500-word hate-filled manifesto talked about white supremacy. Roof faces nine counts of murder in connection with Wednesday’s shooting. With the campaign to replace him heating up, Obama said he thinks he would be a better candidate if he were running again, because although he’s slowed down a little bit, “I know what I’m doing and I’m fearless.” “I’ve screwed up. I’ve been in

hen Stephen and Wendy Cripes realized their dream and purchased their Kelowna winery in 1986, they had a clear vision of making organic wines. However, their vision of natural and organic went far beyond conventional standards. They believe – backed by tasting tests – that wines aged through principles developed by ancient civilizations can create a better, more delicious end product than the same wine aged by normal contemporary means. To that end, Stephen built a pyramid at his vineyard that would encourage pure energy fields, in turn providing better clarification of Summerhill wines stored in the pyramid. Flaws in the wine would be magnified and that wine easily culled. Good quality wines, however, would be much enhanced, created a better, more deliciously flavoured product. Sticking closely to ancient pyramid building methods, a building site was selected with no interfering energies such as underground gas lines, streams or electrical current exposure. The earth was compacted to 100%. One ancient Egyptian pyramid-building principle had to do with directional orientation. In this case, the base laid by a surveyor aligned the pyramid to

the “true north” rather than the magnetic north. (True north is the point of entry in the Arctic Ocean for the axis around which the Earth spins. Magnetic north depends on the shifting magnetic lines of the Earth.) The direction was then checked by an astronomer who adjusted the foundation to accurately align with the North Star. The walls of the structure were built so as to not contain any ferrous metals which might reorient the pyramid back to magnetic north. Summerhill’s sparkling wines and still wines are aged 30 to 90 days in the pyramid. It may sound unusual, but comparative wine tastings have proved, to the Cripps’ satisfaction, that something good is happening in that pyramid. The same wine, bottled at the same temperature and the same

day, was divided into two test groups. One batch was stored in the pyramid for 30 to 90 days. The other was aged conventionally, outside the pyramid. The results were astonishing. The tasters almost always unanimously picked the pyramid-aged wine as smoother, better-tasting and with a fuller aroma. Pairing with renowned wine maker Eric Von Krosigk, Summer Hill Pyramid Winery was established in 1991. Eric, who has 30 plus years of growing grapes, brought his expertise and knowledge to create many award-winning wines. The winery has not only achieved organic status, but is Demeter Biodynamic certificated, a top international organic certification that is difficult to reach and verifies

that the biodynamic products and their farms meet demanding international standards of ecologically sound production and processing. Using sustainable practices and a co-operative approach with nature, Summer Hill is producing deep and flavourful wines from these biodynamic viticultural practices. The resulting eco system creates a unique relationship between vines and the soils they grow in. Join at Lucky’s Liquor Store at Country Club Centre in Nanaimo on Thursday, June 25 at 7 p.m. as we taste some of Summerhill’s organic and delicious pyramid-aged wines. Tickets are limited and on sale at the store for $30 plus GST. For more information check out our website at www.luckysliquor.ca or find us on Facebook.

FOOD

Book updates modern preserves THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Amy Bronee’s goal was to blend the traditions of home preserving with the tastes of the modern home cook. While canning never went away in rural areas, it is growing as a craft in urban centres, with people eager to buy local food at farmers markets and preserve the bounty to eat during the cold winter months. “The farmers markets are coming into the cities and people want to buy a flat of strawberries, but then they don’t want to make a whole lot because they don’t have a lot of storage, they don’t have a lot of room to store all the gear,” Bronee said during a recent visit to Toronto to promote her new book, “The Canning Kitchen: 101 Simple Small Batch Recipes” (Penguin). “They don’t have a huge kitchen and so being able to make half a dozen jars at a time is more accessible, I think, to people.” Bronee, 38, has included classics like strawberry jam and dill pickles in the book, but she also developed recipes to entice people who have canned before and want to go in a new direction. As a blogger of Family Feedbag since 2011 she takes note of flavour trends and has incorporated into “The Canning Kitchen” some that might not have made it into print in a canning book a decade ago, such as Salted Caramel Pear Butter and Garlic, Rosemary and Apple Jelly. She introduces international flavours, another different direction for canning in this country. There are nods to south Asia with Sweet Thai Chili Chutney with lemon grass while Peach Chutney Garam Masala complements curries. Those who love Mexican food will want to try Tangy Tomatillo Salsa Verde, delicious with tacos and enchaladas or scooped with crunchy tortilla chips. “We are taking the tradition of canning and reshaping it and presenting it in a way that addresses modern tastes and the modern home cook,” said Bronee.

his month, the Minister of Health announced that the Nutrition Labelling Regulations for Canada are having an overhaul. These changes are supposed to make it easier for Canadians to make healthier food choices by reading and comparing information on the Nutrition Facts Tables on food labels. The proposed changes to the Nutrition Facts Table include: · Enlarging the serving size information and setting standardized serving sizes for foods to make comparison of products easier · Enlarging the number of calories per serving in bold and underlined · Grouping nutrients that provide calories under the Calories heading · Adding a percentage daily value for Sugars instead of the one for carbohydrates · Moving Sodium value to the bottom closer to the Potassium value because both nutrients are related to blood pressure · Adding a line for Potassium content while deleting the Vitamin A and Vitamin C content of the product · Stating the Quick Rule for % Daily Value at the bottom of the Nutrition Facts Table This rule says that 5% or less is a little and 15% or more is a lot when using the % daily value to consider nutrient content There are also proposed changes to the ingredient lists. These lists must now be printed in black on a white background. In the past, black print could be on dark coloured backgrounds making the list almost impossible to read. The ingredients are listed from most to least so that consumers can tell what foods are in the highest proportion in the product. One of the proposed changes is to have all sugars on the ingredient list grouped together. In the past, manufacturers would add many different sugars such as glucose, fructose, high fructose corn syrup, honey, molasses and many more names so that no one type of sugar would appear near the top of the ingredient list. This was to deceive consumers by hiding many different sugars lower down on the list. If sugar is the first ingredient, those who read the label might choose not to use that product. Now, all of the sugars must be grouped together so highly sweetened foods would show sugar near or at the top of the list meaning there is more sugar than any other ingredient. A final change to the ingredient list is that all food colouring agents must be included by their common names. The proposed changes came from consultations with over 10,000 Canadians including parents, consumers, health organizations and the food industry which were held throughout 2014. Following the release of the proposed changes there will be a 75 day comment period ending on Aug. 26, 2015. All Canadians are invited to read about the proposed changes on Canada Gazette, Part 1 (June 13, 2015) and send comments to Health Canada at nutrition@hc-sc.gc.ca.
