Reeks Island ‘face’ in the rock

Extreme fire risk warning persists, more heat in forecast

Mysterious image resembles First Nation artwork MARTIN WISSMATH ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

About 40 feet up from the ocean in a narrow gorge, on a steep cliff on the south side of Reeks Island in the Broken Group of Barkley Sound, there is a face.

Or what looks like a face, formed from the rock, resembling Tseshaht First Nation artwork of an ancient spirit – one of their culturally revered deities.

Tseshaht Beach Keeper Hank Gus re-discovered the uncanny image in early June. Gus had been searching for the mysterious face during the past few years after it was first spotted by kayakers from the U.S. in 2008. The Tseshaht Beach Keepers were established three years ago to tend to the First Nation’s traditional territory in Barkley Sound in partnership with Parks Canada.

Now, the Beach Keepers have made the Reeks Island “face in the rock” famous in international news headlines, and the location – with a photo – is clearly indicated on Google Maps.

The kayakers who originally discovered the rocky visage were from Washington State, said Gus. “They didn’t describe exactly where it was at. They sent coordinates and a picture to Parks Canada,” Gus said. Parks Canada then forwarded the picture to the Tseshaht administration office.

One of the kayakers, Sandy Floe, described what they found in an email to Parks Canada: “I went in closer to shore...through kelp to explore a small gap in the rocky shore on the southeast side of Reeks Island,” Floe wrote.

“Suddenly I saw what you see in the picture. A face! I almost fell out of the kayak! Snapped the first picture and noticed my hands were shaking.

“I went in as close as I could down the narrow water-filled ‘chute’ and got a closer picture,” Floe continued. “It would be quite dangerous to get out of the kayak in that little nook with the waves pushing me further in, I couldn’t get out and climb up to it. It appears, to me at least, to be definitely a native design face similar to what I have seen on other native drawings and carvings.”

Gus noted that Reeks Island is in the Tseshaht traditional territory. “We, the Beach Keepers, monitor all the campsites in the islands in the territory in

McMillan wrote in an email to the Times. “But just looking from the boat we reached the conclusion that it is probably a natural feature.

“If someone could manage to land a boat and climb up there and found only the natural stone blocks that make up the ‘face’ features, with no signs of human alteration, then that would pretty well establish that the ‘face’ is a product of nature.” McMillan noted. But even if it is natural, it’s still significant, he added.

Darrell Ross Sr. is the Tseshaht cultural research and planning director. Ross said the First Nation is discussing whether to undertake further archeological investigation of the face in the rock, to determine for certain if it is man-made or natural.

An extreme wildfire danger warning continues in the Alberni Valley this week.

A heat wave rolled through the region over the weekend, spiking temperatures at 36.6 degrees Celsius on Saturday. That was the hottest June 27 on record, according to Environment Canada, breaking the last record set in 2000.

Temperatures are forecasted to stay sunny and hot through the week, reaching 36 degrees again on Wednesday. The heat is expected to gradually cool off to 27 degrees on Saturday.

B.C.’s Wildfire Management Branch indicates an ongoing “extreme” danger rating for the risk of a wildfire in the Alberni Valley.

Extreme danger is defined as “extremely dry forest fuels and the fire risk is very serious. New fires will start easily, spread rapidly, and challenge fire suppression efforts,” on the B.C. Wildfire Service website (bcwildfire.ca).

“Conditions continue to be hot and dry in the Port Alberni region,” noted Marg Drysdale, information assistant with the Coastal Fire Centre. Thunderstorms are expected on the eastern mid-coast region; otherwise “unseasonably warm and dry conditions continue each day.”

The province issued a campfire ban for the mid-Island region on Thursday.

The hot and dry conditions over the past two months have left water levels low in the Valley.

May was the driest month on record, with a total precipitation of only 1.4 millimetres of rainfall.

As of Monday only 14.2 millimetres of rain in June had fallen, a fraction of the 70-mm average.

The province’s River Forecast Centre issued a streamflow advisory last week, reporting the Valley’s Sproat River at 10 per cent of its median level of water flow.

the summer. For the past couple years we knew about this face in the rock. But...it was a vague description.”

Gus and a fellow Beach Keeper happened upon the re-discovery this month without knowing exactly where to look. “We were passing by [Reeks Island] and we happened to look up higher. And we noticed it,” he said. “There was a lot of excitement in our work boat.” With the ocean swells

it’s rough going to get closer to the rock face to examine it, Gus added.

He’s not sure whether it’s some kind of ancient man-made artwork, or a natural formation. “It’s hard to say, because it’s kind of hard to get close to it.” Gus said.

“But either way, man-made or natural, it’s another beautiful attraction for people to come out and see in the Broken Group Islands.”

Archeologists Dr. Alan McMillan and Denis St. Claire have studied Nuu-chah-nulth culture for decades, with a number of publications about the First Nations in the Alberni Valley and Barkley Sound. After the face was discovered in 2008 McMillan and St. Claire took a boat out to Reeks Island to have a look.

“We found it – but it was far too difficult to access to get up to it,”

HISTORIC SITE

RVs can stay on site: City Council grants exception from bylaw for trailer and recreation vehicle residents ERIC PLUMMER ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

City council is allowing recreational vehicles to stay on an Uptown site for another three years, despite a warning from the city planner that RVs should not encouraged for long-term residential use.

Another temporary use permit was granted by elected officials on June 22, extending to a oneyear term given last year that excludes the site from Port Alberni’s zoning bylaw. The Wood Avenue property, located between Redford and Morton streets, serves as an affordable alternative to staying in a motel for a few months, said property owner Major Rai. Three vehicles are currently camped on the site, which often serves workers who temporarily need to stay in Port Alberi.

“We want to be more flexible for the people to come and work,” said Rai. “They work for five months out of the year here in town, they move with their logging companies...or shift workers, two weeks in, two weeks out,” added Rai’s son, Jodi, who also manages the site. “We have a motel too, but the thing is if people invest $70,000-80,000 into an RV, they’re going to come in their mobile home.”

Back in 2013 the city’s Advisory Planning Commission recommended that RVs be removed from the site due to the amount of time people were residing on the property.

SAUVE

“Trailers and recreational vehicles are not intended for, nor constructed for, long-term residential use,” warned city planner Scott Smith in a recent report for council on the issue. “From a land use planning perspective the planning department does not support a formal recognition of recreational vehicles as a form of housing, even under a temporary use permit.”

Council opted to support the request after Coun. Dennis Sauvé suggested that the site’s temporary use permit should last for three years. Despite stipulations of the zoning bylaw, he believes that the site provides a valuable service in Port Alberni, and said requests from the city have consistently been met by the landowner.

“The area has always been cleaned,” said Sauvé. “These are actually a lot of people living year-round, pretty much living paycheque to paycheque.”

‘Face’ may signify a tribal deity, says Tseshaht cultural director FACE, from Page 1

Reeks Island has a high cultural and spiritual value for the Tseshaht, Ross noted. The village of Tl’ihnaas is located on the west side of the island.

An interesting coincidence is how closely the face in the rock resembles artwork carved on the front doors of the Tseshaht administration building, designed by Tseshaht artist Gordon Dick. The front doors were carved for the building’s grand opening in 2007. They depict a spirit out of the First Nation’s history.

“The voice of our ancestors,” said Ross, describing the carving.

“Sending encouragement to preserve our culture and language, which anchors our songs and our identity.”

Ross said the face in the rock, which appears to be blowing wind out of its mouth, could be an image of a tribal deity called Qwatyat, a mischievous spirit in Tseshaht myth, who broke apart the First Nation’s homeland and scattered it as the islands that now decorate Barkley Sound.

Mill supporters upgrade entrance ERIC PLUMMER ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

The pothole-ridden road leading into the McLean Mill received complimentary maintenance last week, thanks to a strong supporter of the historic site with a penchant for antiquated industrial machines.

On Friday the road into the mill past the entrance gate was treated by a rebuilt 1971 grader, with the work donated by the machine’s owner Barry Simpson and operator Carey Roth.

“That road is getting pretty rough,” said Roth, who covered the entrance stretch several times over 1 ½ hours, redistributing gravel that had collected along the sides back into the worn-out portions of the road. “Normally if it was regularly maintained it wouldn’t take so long, but since it was pretty rough I had to go over it a couple of times to smooth everything.”

Roth operated the 44-year-old Champion D-680 machine, a grader Simpson purchased from Edmon-

ton two years ago with hopes of using it for contracting work in the area. After extensive rebuilding this was only the second job for the old grader after work on a logging road near Sproat Lake.

“It was in a lot worse shape than I thought it was going to be,” admitted Simpson. “I bought another grader to get the rubber off it and any other thing I could handle, like fans and all that sort of thing.”

Since 2000 the McLean Mill National Historic Site has showcased Port Alberni’s collection of historic equipment from its roots as a logging settlement. The site is often marketed as Alberni’s signature tourist attraction, but the continued use of public funds to subsidize the city-owned attraction has generated criticism towards the mill in recent years.

Simpson believes many Port Alberni residents take the mill for granted.

“There’s so much negativity I can’t believe it,” he said. “McLean Mill is a jewel in the backyard if

they only knew it.”

Besides drawing as much as 15,000 visitors in a year, the mill has garnered revenue from selling live-edge lumber manufactured at the historic site. Simpson believes more potential can be tapped, such as a main street created to represent a historic logging settlement.

“Sure the mill is great and it’s a big attraction – and it’s amazing that they’ve kept it running – but it needs more,” Simpson said. “What I would like to see is a main street, and I’ll grade that for them.”

Last week’s complimentary grading job helped to shoulder the mill’s annual maintenance costs, budgeted to be $25,000 this year.

Mill manager Neil Malbon said the entrance road is normally maintained once a year.

“We do it, but maybe not as much as we should or could,” he said.

“We were just really pleased with Barry coming forward and volunteering for us.”

Attendingtoglobalwarmingwillmakeushealthier

T

he case for taking aggressive action against climate change just got even more compelling.

According to a landmark new study, global warming is the 21st century’s greatest threat to human health — but also our best chance to boost current levels of public wellness.

That’s because bold steps to limit climate change won’t just heal the planet, they’ll promote healthier populations the world over, including in Canada.

Tackling climate change could be the greatest global health opportunity of this century, an international panel of researchers wrote in the medical journal The Lancet. And it’s important that governments don’t let this opportunity slip.

Health benefits associated with emission reductions are undeniable. Phasing out coal-fired electricity generation, for example, eases global warming by reducing

According to a landmark new study, global warming is the 21st century’s greatest threat to human health — but also our best chance to boost current levels of public wellness. carbon levels pumped into the atmosphere. But it also cuts particulates in the air that people breathe, lowering the death rate from respiratory and cardiovascular disease.

Similarly, a heavier investment in green space, public transit and bicycle-friendly infrastructure would help reduce transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions while getting more people active, thereby easing their risk of heart disease, cancer, obesity,

diabetes and other ailments.

A healthier population also means lower medical bills. The authors of the report note that, in weighing the cost to society of carbon reduction strategies, it’s important to consider savings that would result from warding off a host of chronic illnesses. Such savings would be considerable.

All this bolsters the case for taking urgent action against climate change.

“Health puts a human face on what can sometimes seem to be a distant threat,” wrote authors of a commentary also in The Lancet.

This has “the potential to accelerate political action in ways that attention to carbon dioxide emissions alone do not.”

Opposite the health benefits of controlling emissions is the indisputable human harm that would result if global warming goes unchecked.

Most prominent is the danger

posed by extreme heat. Soaring temperatures have combined with worsening air quality to claim thousands of lives in heat waves that struck Russia in 2010 and more recently in South Asia.

The toll will likely be far higher in coming years as temperatures rise.

In Canada, the elderly and people with a low income remain the most at risk. A Quebec study cited by The Canadian Press found that 12 per cent of people living in poor neighbourhoods, in that province’s 10 largest cities, had to consult a health-care provider during a recent heat wave. That’s a troublingly high proportion.

The active range of certain diseases, such as malaria and infection from the West Nile virus, is also likely to spread. And millions would risk crushing hunger as drought robs rural societies of their ability to grow basic food supplies.

The world’s most impoverished would suffer by far the most since they have little choice but to work outdoors in scorching weather, have limited access to air conditioning, and are most vulnerable to the devastating effects of famine.

To its credit, Ontario has already taken sound action to promote public health and also limit carbon emissions by closing its coal-fired electrical plants.

And Premier Kathleen Wynne’s government has announced it will create a cap-and-trade system, putting a price on carbon in order to foster reduced use.

In contrast, Prime Minister Stephen Harper has been reluctant to truly tackle climate change. In light of this latest research, he should reconsider. If Harper isn’t troubled by the state of the planet he should, at least, consider the health of Canadians.

I called the police and they did not know of the payment system written on the back of the ticket, so I called ICBC, who informed me that they only collect for the government.

They take cheques, you have to mail them to ICBC, but not through an ICBC Auto plan agency, because some cheques bounce and that the payee has a record of payment through an ICBC Auto plan agency.

Wait a minute, the ticket says it will not give a receipt if you send any other way than a cheque, so why would an agency give a receipt for a check? I assume the check will be your receipt? But why does that not work with ICBC Agents?

I see a flaw in the system and it seems as though the flaw lies with the police, ICBC, government, and auto plan agents.

They should get together and make the system work for all agencies concerned, as well as the public at large.

Auto plan agents say they can receive ticket fines, but primarily cash only. ICBC says it

receives ticket fines for the government, the police say they do not get involved with the fines, just hand them out.

Confusing or what?

» Your Letters // e-mail: letters@avtimes.net ‘The facts’ on airport expansion project Re: ‘Airport expansion’ letter, June 26, Page 4 Well, Bob, I thought that my last letter dealt with the fact that it’s highly unlikely that we’ll see regularly scheduled airline service from an expanded airport.

However, if you want to get down to the nitty gritty of airport expansion, here are the facts: 1) A runway expansion by 1,000 feet was proposed for our airport at a cost of $300,000.

Five-hundred feet would be added to both ends of the current runway.

2) The only extra costs would be for the global positioning system and the lighting improvements.

3) In another sad display of its infinite wisdom, the regional district turned the proposal down in favour of a deluxe expansion costing $7.5 million.

If I were you, I’d go down to regional district’s office

and give them all bloody hell instead of accepting a champagne cost and applying for grants to make up the $7.5 million. Public money is public money whatever the source. Lastly, my source is unimpeachable, but I’m not going to reveal his identity.

Flaws in system for driving ticket payments I recently got a ticket, which I deserved, for a rolling stop.

I went to pay it as directed on the back of the ticket, so I went to an ICBC Auto plan insurance agency in town, on the back of the ticket it said (Easiest way to pay send check or money order).

I wrote out a cheque to ICBC. The ICBC Auto plan agency said it can receive the amount of the fine, but only through guaranteed payment, it cannot take cheques, but it says check on the back of the ticket.

Dave Noble Port Alberni

Predictions for the federal election The Green party has no bearing on the results of who will be the Prime Minister of Canada after the 2015 federal election.

The result will only see a Conservative majority or minority government.

The majority of Canadian taxpayers still do not believe that the NDP should be given the chance to form the federal government of Canada.

Those that do are living in a fantasy land. Do the research, and facts and reality will prevail.

86th Ladies West Coast Golf tourney Kathy White and Janice Cross win first place honours at the Alberni course JOAN THOMPSON FOR THE TIMES

T

he 86th Ladies West Coast Golf Tournament got off to a sizzling start on Saturday evening.

Twelve teams showed up for the Big Break competitions to see who would amass the largest number of points to be in the prizes.

Tournament organizers, Patsy Gauthier, Janice Cross and Suzanne Jones had their work cut out for them to separate the “men from the boys” so to speak.

Each team member had to decide between their strong suits of the game: While one team member chipped from the sand trap her partner chipped across the pond; while one member had a long chip the other had a short one; while one member chipped over the trees onto the green the other had to chip under the branches towards the same destination.

On it went until all challenges were met. A well thought-out competition with real obstacles on this course.

They say the cream always rises to the top, and so it would seem, as the team of Kathy White and Janice Cross carried away the points for the top place honours, taking home the largest bundle of cash.

Rona Lawson and Kathie Reid of Storey Creek were the second place winners, Shirley Goodman

and Carol Hastings placed a close third to get into the cash prizes with Suzanne Jones and AC Potter scooping the fourth place.

Sunday morning was already sizzling by the time the golfers got onto the course to play their 18 holes with the temperature reaching 35 by noon. Knowing it was going to be a scorcher the organizers provided small towels to be worn around the necks of the golfers with water supplied to give them the cooling effect. In spite of this, I wandered through the Club House while the golfers were dragging themselves in after their game nearly six hours later. Words such as “brutal,” “wasted,” “hot,” “burning,” and “living dead” reached my ears; but at the end of each description were the words, “but we had fun,” and that’s the important part!

An impressive prize table – due to the amazing support of the local businesses of Port Alberni – gave immediate relief to some of the players who rose to the top.

New major sponsors: Dorothy Clarkstone, Royal LePage, Tim Hortons, Alberni Auto Group and EM salon and Spa can take credit for that.

First place winners in the Low Gross category were Katy Macauley and Valerie Dingwall from Crown Isle, tied with Mae Mitchell and Raelene Robertson, also of Crown Isle. Macauley and

Low net winners LaDonna Knutson and Barb Sheare alongside the two teams that tied for low gross. In the middle are Valerie Dingwall and Katy Macaulay, who won by retrogression after both teams decided they didn’t want a playoff. May Mitchell and Raelene Robertson ended up in the second low gross spot. Both of the low gross teams were from Crown Isle.

[SUBMITTED PHOTO]

Dingwall won by retrogression as the thought of going back out onto the course into the heat for a playoff was too much to bear.

Lucy Dever and Lesley Hazeldine from Pheasant Glen and Gabriola courses came in third. Judy Pouliot and Eveline Shaw from Crown Isle were in the prizes for fourth place.

In the Low Net category Barb Sheare and LaDonna Knutson jumped all over first place.

Anne Sands and Jan McFarlane of Crown Isle placed second

while Janice Nicklin and Sue Leaky from Comox placed third.

Big Break winners for Sunday were Doneen Karch and Selma Cole from Crown Isle placing at the top. Lysbeth McCrone and Patricia Lowe from Sunnydale in Courtenay placed second and Janice Nicklin and Sue Leakey from Comox in third position.

Junior golfers raised money on No. 4 (if your ball landed on the green the contestants won a brand new ball). Money earned will be matched by the Scotia

Bank.

Special thanks to Steve White and his greens crew for their extra help in marking grids and having the course in such excellent condition considering the heat waves we’ve had. Those greens were FAST! The team work of Gauthier and Cross and Jones along with their crew of volunteers and most generous sponsors (36 in all!) have done it again making this 86th year one of the most successful tournaments, ever.

ATHLETICS

Nanaimo’s Katelynn Ramage gets Pan Am nod “It’ll be the same type of competition as the Pan American Cup, just with a few less people because there each country can bring four, versus Pan Ams where they can only bring two per country.”

Ramage finished 28th at the Pan American cup in May with a time of 1:50:28 in a field of 31 competitors, but did so while fighting off an illness.

“When I was down there in May I ended up getting really, really sick so I’m just looking to improve and get more experienced,” she said.

SCOTT McKENZIE NANAIMO DAILY NEWS

Nanaimo District Secondary School graduate Katelynn Ramage will be one of three Vancouver Island athletes representing their country at the 2015 Pan American Games next month.

Ramage, now a 22-year-old third-year student at Trinity Western University will make up half the country’s 20,000-metre race walk team competing at the Games in Toronto.

She was picked for the twowoman team as per her status of being ranked as the second-best female race-walker in the country, and got official confirmation last week.

“It was always up in the air, because you never know,” Ramage said. “I got the official email saying that I was on the team, so it was pretty exciting. Everything was kind of kept on the down-low until Athletics Canada and the Olympics committee made their press release.”

Also qualified for the Pan Am Games - held this year in Toronto - are Vanouver Islanders Cam Levins, of Black Creek, for middle-distance running and Nanoose Bay high-jumper Michael Mason.

Still young in the world of competitive race-walking, Ramage didn’t have the Pan Am Games on her list of goals due to the original qualifying time being just out of her realm.

But when Athletics Canada changed the qualifying process to being rankings-based, that all changed. “It’s an international event on Canadian soil, so they wanted to be able to send two per event and give us the chance to represent Canada at home,” Ramage said. “Once the criteria

“That’s the big thing.” To improve, Ramage said she plans to “race smart” at the Pan Am Games, pay attention to her technique and trust her training. Before heading to Toronto, she is first off to Edmonton next weekend for the Canadian senior championships, which will help with her training.

She plans to train at long distances before starting to taper down seven to 10 days before competing in Toronto. “The volume will decrease a bit,” Ramage said, “but the intensity will stay up there.”

Blue Jays lose 3-1 to Red Sox at home KYLE CICERELLA THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Clay Buchholz gave up five hits and just one earned run while striking out five through eight innings of work as the Boston Red Sox beat the Toronto Blue Jays 3-1 on Monday at Rogers Centre.

Buchholz (6-6) tossed 96 pitches — 68 for strikes — to outduel Toronto’s R.A. Dickey for the win.

Xander Bogaerts had a two-run double for the Red Sox (35-43) and Mookie Betts cashed in on a single from Brock Holt. Koji Uehara worked a 1-2-3 ninth to earn the save.

Dickey (3-8) went six innings for Toronto, allowing six hits with three walks, three strikeouts and three earned runs.

The knuckleballer opened the third inning with a walk to Jackie Bradley Jr. Betts followed with a single and Dickey issued another walk to Holt to load the bases with nobody out.

Bogaerts then took the first pitch he saw over the head of Jose Bautista in right field for a tworun double and the game’s first runs.

Dickey got the next three batters to fly out, stranding runners on second and third.

Betts started off the fifth with a triple and Holt sent him home on a bloop single to make it 3-0 Red Sox. Toronto (41-37) finally got to Buchholz in the bottom of the sixth inning for its first run of the game. After opening the inning with a single, Devon Travis moved to second on a fielders choice and then came home on a double from Josh Donaldson.

Liam Hendriks came on in relief for the Blue Jays to start the seventh and retired five in a row before Brett Cecil came in to finish the eighth by striking out David Ortiz.

Toronto nearly scored the game’s first run when Kevin Pillar hit a double to left field in the bottom of the second. Russell Martin thought about going from first to home on the play but pulled up after passing third and was eventually tagged out by Pablo Sandoval to end the inning.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Everyone seems to be full of ideas that conflict with yours. You are likely to act and demonstrate the solidity of a particular approach.

Your imagination will give you an edge that others don’t have. It is natural for you to find solutions.

Tonight: Try to be low-key.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) A partner will want to share many ideas that might startle you. In a sense, you won’t know which direction would be more suitable for you to head in. The unexpected occurs when a roommate or family member decides to act out.

Tonight: Let others take the lead.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You speak and others listen. A situation could become more complicated than you would like.

Understand your limits when it comes to trying to effect change.

Don’t push yourself to make a point when you know it will be a futile effort. Tonight: Let someone else treat.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You will have a difficult time trying to make someone believe that you are right. Just go off and do

your thing. Eventually this person will see the value in your choices.

Sometimes you push hard, and it could be too much for some people. Tonight: Get some exercise.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might be very energized and going too fast for some people to follow you. If you are working independently, then that is a different story. You might want to rethink what you are doing if you have to work with others. Put on your happy face. Tonight: All smiles.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Tame your extroverted side and become more observant of a domestic situation. Think in terms of reaching a compromise if you decide to get involved. You might see some upsetting and uncomfortable energy heading your way. Tonight: Go along with the program.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You are likely to hear quite a tale if you can take the time to listen.

A partner seems to have the ability to shake up your universe.

Sometimes this is for the better, other times, not so much. Zero in THAT SCRAMBLED WORD GAME

on a long-term goal. Know that you will succeed. Tonight: Catch up news.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Curb your spending, and be more appropriate about your limits. You tend to find ways to make excessive justifications when taking risks. You don’t need to be a big spender. At the moment, a matter is likely to throw you into the limelight. Tonight: Return calls.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You tend to be overly expressive, but no one minds -- you have only good vibes to offer those around you. The unexpected seems to occur when you least expect it.

Your amusement will become obvious to others. Use caution with a family member. Tonight: As you like it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Much goes on behind the scenes.

Listen to your feelings, but know that you don’t need to express them just yet. Observe and gather information. You know what to do and when. Honor what is happening. Tonight: Relax at home, and curl up with a good book or watch a movie.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your friends might be unusually observant of someone in your life. A relationship seems to be changing right in front of you.

Accept this rather than reject it. Don’t lose your focus, as you can achieve a lot right now. Your softer side could emerge. Tonight: With friends.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Be more in touch with what you want. Tension remains high, and you have choices to make. Clearly you can’t please everyone all the time. Do not even try. An associate shows enormous caring.

Examine what someone suggests.

Tonight: Touch base with an older relative.

GARDA BERENDINA GROOT of Port Alberni, BC passed away suddenly on Sunday June 21st, 2015. Garda was married and in love with Jan Nanne Groot who predeceased her in Port Alberni, BC, in 1986. She was also predeceased by her daughter Jeannette Groot, our treasured sister, in Port Alberni, BC, in 1991.

From her birth in Steenderen, the Netherlands, to her passing on Sunday June 21st, 2015 in Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada our Mother, our Oma, our Aunt, our Hero and our Friend nourished the people around her with her love, her enthusiasm for life, her compassion, her empathy and most of all nourished those with her ability to listen.

Garda truly lived her life to the fullest with simple pleasures; chatting with her family and friends, having a "kopje koffie" (a coffee) and listening to beautiful music. Garda's greatest accomplishments and abilities were to listen, to empathize and to honour our voices. It touched those people around her in a very deep and positive way. Her voice was very soft but extremely powerful. This is something she did not know and for that this woman is honored and cherished by so many. Garda will be remembered as a soft shining light.

Left to honour Garda are her four children and their spouses Marijke/Ralf, Folkert/Wendy, Art/Britt and Mieke/ Rob, her cherished grandchildren, as well as precious family and friends from around the world.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday July 4th, 2015 at Sproat Lake Provincial Park, Port Alberni, BC from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm to reminisce, grieve, laugh, support each other and of course to just chat.

Parking is located at the boat launch. The Celebration will take place at the lower park. Please be mindful of parking restrictions as boats and trailers use this parking lot, there is parking at the Upper lot as well. Arrangements entrusted to Chapel of Memories Funeral Directors.

Escapees aimed for the Canadian border after Mexico plans ďŹ zzled MICHAEL BALSAMO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Two convicted murderers who eluded a massive manhunt for three weeks planned to drive to Mexico after escaping prison but ended up walking toward Canada when their ride backed out â&#x20AC;&#x201D; finally splitting up in their final days of freedom, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday.

David Sweat, 35, was hospitalized in serious condition after being shot twice in the torso by a trooper and captured Sunday near the Canadian border. Cuomo said Sweat has begun providing information about his audacious escape from the maximum-security Clinton Correctional Facility on June 6 with Richard Matt and their weeks on the lam. Matt was killed by officers on Friday.

Prosecutors have said prison

ďŹ l here please

A New York State corrections officer in the town of Malone, N.Y., on Friday evening, before David Sweat was arrested Sunday. [THE WATERTOWN DAILY TIMES]

tailor shop employee Joyce Mitchell got close to the men and agreed to be their getaway driver but backed out because she felt guilty.

Authorities also have said they discussed killing Mitchellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband, matching the newly detailed account provided by Cuo-

mo on the Capitol Pressroom radio program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They would kill Mitchellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband and then get in the car and drive to Mexico on the theory that Mitchell was in love with one or both of them, and then they would go live happily ever after, which is a fairy tale that I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t read as a child,â&#x20AC;? the governor said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Mitchell doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t show up, the Mexico plan gets foiled, and then they head north toward Canada.â&#x20AC;?

Matt had previously fled to Mexico after killing and dismembering his former boss in 1997.

Matt and Sweat apparently spent more than two weeks together roaming the thick northern New York woods. Authorities believe they travelled mostly at night and managed to procure food, a gun and other supplies from hunting camps and seasonal cabins.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream cocktail: sangria

Make sure to get the kids outside Eileen Bennewith Nutrition Notes

O

Lynette Burns The Lucky Gourmet

I

f you are looking for the perfect summer cocktail look no further than sangria as this classic libation has all the earmarks of a splendid crowd pleaser.

Practically speaking, you can make in big batches by using up fruits already in your refrigerator. And by the way, don’t be shy about unleashing your imagination as to what to include in your sangria’s recipe,… as long as it is an eatable fruit.

Sangria is a mixture of wine, fruit, a bit of spirits, juice and an optional splash of soda.

Traditionally, cut-up fruit is soaked overnight in wine before the other ingredients are added in the morning and before serving.

You will find that the fruit packs a punch if they are soaked overnight.

Pre-soaking the fruit also adds depth to your sangria, but throwing it together just before a party will also do the trick.

Here are the basics of a good sangria recipe:

To one 750 ml bottle of wine, add two pieces of fruit with at least one of them being citrus, ¼ cup of spirits and 1 cup of juice.

Start with ice and 1 cup of soda in your pitcher or bowl, then pour in your sangria mix. The citrus creates that refreshing aspect to sangria.

Sangria makes a fine summer cocktail.

Use good wine, be it white, red or rose. With so many local wineries, it is easy to pick up a reasonably priced bottle that will compliment any flavor combinations you choose.

Many see sangria as a way to finish off old wine, or use a cheaper wine as it’s part of a mix of liquids.

However, as with most consumables, the quality of what you put in is the quality of what you will derive from the finished mix.

The addition of spirits will help give your sangria richer flavour and brandy imparts an old-world element.

A flavoured also vodka gives sangria a modern lift. Don’t use spirits with extraordinary flavours, i.e. sambuca, as such spirits will overpower the more

subtle fruit flavours you are attempting to coax out of your sangria.

Sangria is so open to subtle taste combinations.

You can add a moderate amount of herbs and unusual fruits to your sangria. One particularly lovely addition is muddled (gently crushed) lavender flowers and gooseberries. For those bold and adventurous, try bay leaves crushed up with fresh cherries. These are excellent variations to almost any basic sangria recipe. Here’s one of my favourites: White Peach Sangria I – 750 ml bottle Cowichan Valley Averill Creek Pinot Grigio ¼ cup peach vodka 1 orange and one peach,

sliced thin 1 cup lemonade Combine all the ingredients and chill.

To serve, add a good handful of ice and a cup of soda.

For your Canada Day barbecue, a sangria can be the perfect answer to that vexing, age-old question about what to serve your guests for drinks.

We would more than happy to help you cobble together your very own Sangria recipe and invite you to see us at Lucky’s Liquor Gourmet Mezzanine at the Country Club Centre.

nce again, the 2015 ParticipACTION Report Card on Physical Activity for Children and Youth has given Canadian children almost failing grades. The two lowest grades on the Report Card were “D-“for Sedentary Behaviour and a “D-“for Overall Physical Activity. Only 14% of children aged 5 to 11 and only 5% of children aged 12 to 17 manage to get 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity recommended by the Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines.

There is no doubt that our children need to move more and to sit less. The report recommends that the best way to achieve this is to encourage children to go outside and play. Research shows that children are twice as active if they play outdoors. We have become a generation of fearful parents who over-supervise our children in an attempt to keep them safe. By keeping children indoors and not allowing them to roam and take some risks, we may be setting children up to be less resilient and more likely to be unhealthy and at risk for chronic diseases.

The evidence shows that children who play outside play longer and these behaviors are associated with better cholesterol levels, better blood pressure, improved body composition, better bone density, higher cardiorespiratory and musculoskeletal fitness and improved aspects of mental, social and environmental health. Is it really safer to keep them indoors to avoid

potential risk?

By keeping our kids indoors they are not really safer. According to the report, too much screen exposure carries its own risks. Children may be exposed to too much violence, unsuitable language, sexual content and subliminal messaging. If allowed to interact on the internet, they may also be victims of cyber-predators.

Other issues of indoor lifestyle include unhealthy snacking in front of television or computer screens which send constant messaging to eat these foods. There is also poor air quality including more exposure to dust, mould, pet hairs, and chemicals in carpets and furniture which can lead to chronic respiratory issues. This is on top of the high risk for chronic diseases that comes from a lifestyle of sedentary behaviour.

When they are very young, take your children outside and teach them how to keep themselves safe in public places. Give them opportunities to try out social skills by giving them time to play outside with other children. As they get older, allow them more freedom and give them chances to take risks and to recognize their own limits. With many chances to experience the outside world, children will learn about nature, they will get fresh air, they will become physically, mentally and emotionally healthier and they will learn to manage risk in their own lives. Having great memories of fun outdoor play with their friends will keep them heading outside to play for years to come. » Eileen Bennewith is a registered dietitian in the public health program for Island Health.

Shopping Spree CONGRATULATIONS MARG BOWEN The AV Times annual Shopping Spree promotion once again created a buzz around town, especially based on the amount of entries dropped off at 14 participating businesses. AV Times congratulates Marg Bowen, the lucky winner of $2015.00 and the chance to shop at local businesses.
