CRIME
18-year-old charged with murder Many mourn the death of Carlene Jack, another young woman is in custody MARTIN WISSMATH ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
Friends and relatives of 19-year-old Carlene Jack, who was fatally wounded early Wednesday, mourned their lost loved one at a candelit vigil site at the scene of the crime. The victim’s alleged assailant, 18-year-old Autumn Dawn Desjarlais, appeared in Port Alberni provincial court on Thursday facing a charge of second-degree murder. As she entered the courtroom Desjarlais waved at her family, some of whom were in tears. Desjarlais will be sent to Alouette Correctional Centre for Women in Maple Ridge to be held in custody until her next court appearance – via closed circuit television – on July 22. Her family declined to comment. Meanwhile friends and family of Carlene Jack’s are in shock, trying to cope with the sudden loss of someone who was “beautiful inside and out,” said one young woman at the vigil site decorated with photos, candles and a memorial poster on Fifth Avenue and Bute Street. It was there that police officers found Jack in the early morning hours on Wednesday, bleeding
and in distress. Jack later died at West Coast General Hospital as a result of her injuries. “It’s tragic,” said a visibly shaken Barry Foster, Jack’s step-father. Their family home is only half a block up the road on Fifth Avenue from the corner of Bute Street. Foster said three people had entered the home, leaving with a sweater and some personal items belonging to Jack’s sister. “She was the hero,” said Foster. Jack had followed the group down the street when one of them stabbed her repeatedly with a knife, Foster said. Chuyenne Cromwell, Jack’s cousin, was at the small vigil site on Thursday. “The last thing I said to her was, ‘I’ll see you when I get home from work’,” Cromwell said through tears, adding she’d heard and read about tragedies happening to other families. “You don’t think it will happen to yours.” “It still feels like a dream,” said one young man, another cousin of the victim, who did not want his name published. “[I’m] terrified, sad, lost...don’t know what

to say.” Jack and Desjarlais were known to each other, according to police. Port Alberni RCMP arrested two other suspects in connection to the incident, but released them and do not intend
to press any further charges. The investigation remains open and ongoing. RCMP are asking anyone who has any information to contact the local detachment, 250-723-2424. Anonymous
tips can be called into the Alberni Valley Crime Stoppers, 1-800-222-8477. Martin.Wissmath@avtimes.net 250-723-8171 ext. 224

T
he former federal building on the corner of Argyle Street and Fourth Avenue is getting a facelift. Under new ownership, the partners released their plans for the historic landmark, which housed Canada Post and other government offices until 2008. Now called Libberock, the building was purchased by local business owners and active community members, Brent and Stacey Manson and Mike and Elizabeth McKay. The family-oriented foursome came up with the name from a combination of their children’s names, Libby, Roxy and Rockford. Brent said the intention of the purchase was to invest in the community and enhance Port Alberni’s rich heritage. “Mainly it was a decision to invest locally,” Brent said. “We were encouraged by the revitalization of the Uptown area. The community has supported our families and businesses and now we are in a position to give back.” The lifelong friends acquired the keys to the building just after the May long weekend but the entire sale process took close to one year

to complete. “We looked at a couple of buildings but this one caught our eye,” Mike said. “We liked the potential of what it could be,” Stacey added. Over the year, the new owners have had a vision of what the transformation will be, but said
the process takes several steps. The plan first is to bring the building’s appearance back to its original, if not better, state, so it is ready to accommodate new or existing business tenants. There has already been a lot of work done by local contractors hired to restore the exterior.
“It is being polished and cleaned up to its former glory,” Brent said. Brent said they intend to keep the original features of the early 1960s heritage building, including the sandstone and marble walls and terrazzo flooring. After a complete environmental remediation is complete, work can begin on the interior in the fall. “There are possibilities of new features, but we will see how it evolves,” Mike said. “We want to keep the timeless architecture that many people like, but it is hard to find in small communities,” Brent added. The partners are open to the types of businesses looking to start up in or relocate to the space. With 30,000 square feet available, Stacey said the possibilities are endless. “This building has the ability to create whatever a group wants,” she said. Once complete, the four anticipate their investment will be a vital contribution to the Uptown revitalization plan and Rotary Arts District. They encourage the community to continue to watch as the transformation unfolds. Kristi.Dobson@avtimes.net

Bids expected for bylaw enforcement vehicle City has set aside $45,000 in budget for specialized SUV ERIC PLUMMER ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

Abbeyfield residence gets roof replacement ERIC PLUMMER ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
An uptown seniors residence is due for major repairs with a $267,797 roof replacement. During a public meeting on Monday city council approved the upgrade to the Abbeyfield, a city-owned property at Eighth Avenue and Redford that houses 21 units for seniors. The funding arrangement for the new roof entails the city paying $167,797 and the Abbeyfield Houses of the Alberni Valley Society putting in $100,000. The property’s lease states that the society, which has run Abbeyfield since 2002, is responsible for repairs to the building. But council agreed to work with the group to improve the structure for Abbeyfield residents after the society said it couldn’t cover the full cost of repairs. Abbeyfield’s contribution was increased from $60,000 to $100,000 in order to have a roof with insulation rated R11.5 instead of R23. “This information was discussed with Abbeyfield representatives and they believe that

with the rising costs of energy, it would be in their best interest to retain the full insulation package as tendered,” wrote Scott Kenny, the city’s director of parks, recreation and heritage, in a report for council on the repair job. The replacement of the 42-year-old roof is being undertaken by Universal Sheet Metal from Victoria. The city contribution is set to come from the Capital Works Fund. Eric.Plummer@avtimes.net
With the aim of helping Port Alberni’s bylaw officer to shoulder his heavy workload, city council has agreed to shop for a new enforcement vehicle. Unlike several other Vancouver Island cities, Port Alberni has just one bylaw enforcement officer, Tim Hautzinger, who often manages more than 120 open files on municipal infractions. In this year’s capital plan $45,000 is set aside as part of the Equipment Replacement Reserve Fund to invest in a dedicated vehicle. The SUV would be equipped with an area for cargo, special mounts next to the driver for a laptop, radios and other equipment, as well as an additional battery and electrical system to power lights and other gear. Coun. Jack McLeman questioned the need for the extra features. “The first reaction in my mind is, are we looking for a SWAT team vehicle without a gun?” he said during a public meeting on Monday. “It seems like a pretty big vehicle.” In a report for council, city planner Scott Smith wrote that acquiring a vehicle specifically designed for bylaw services is the best use of public funds. “These vehicles are also more heavy-duty and adaptable than normal vehicles, and because it is anticipated that this vehicle will be kept for a long period, the special service vehicle is the best option,” he stated in the report. “To purchase a general vehicle
A tender is being sent to three manufacturers who make vehicles designed for municipal bylaw enforcement, including specialized mounts next to the driver’s seat [CITY OF PORT ALBERNI].
and then try to add in the special requirements would be more expensive.” The city’s request for proposals will go directly to manufacturers who specialize in bylaw vehicles. “There are three major manufacturers that provide those specially equipped vehicles already put together,” said city manager Ken Watson. “Those three manufacturers all have local representatives in the Alberni Valley who would be involved in the tender process.”
Acquiring an electrically powered vehicle was considered, but the city opted to not make this investment for the time being, as city hall and the parks yard would need charging stations. However the muncipality’s use of electric cars was not entirely ruled out. Coun. Sharie Minions made a motion for city staff to prepare a report on the possibility of upgrading to electric vehicles in the future. Eric.Plummer@avtimes.net

Sentencing postponed for man guilty of child sex assault MARTIN WISSMATH ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
A man who pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl was in Port Alberni Supreme Court on Thursday. Graham Maxmenko, 61, appeared in court for sentencing. Maxmenko pleaded guilty last October to charges of sexual interference and sexual assault. He is currently out on bail. Justice Peter Voith postponed sentencing Maxmenko until October of this year after his defence lawyer, Peter Wilson, withdrew a psychological report of the defendant. Voith ordered that the court conduct a report of its own. “I don’t know if [Maxmenko] is a pedophile,” Voith said. After a short recess he returned and told the court he could not carry out a sentence without a psychological report. Further information is needed to determine whether Maxmenko is a high

risk to re-offend, the judge noted. Maxmenko committed the offences in March, 2012, in a Port Alberni residence, said provincial Crown prosecutor Grahame Merke. He has a history of sex crimes against children. “He has previous convictions for exposing himself to minors,” Merke said. Maxmenko was released on a $100,000 cash deposit in 2012 and allowed to leave the country to travel to the Dominican Republic for the holidays. The Crown sought to prevent him from leaving and viewed him as a flight risk.

Dog Mountain neglect will not be forgotten
A
fter a week of suffering severely smokey conditions from a growing wildfire by Sproat Lake, the apearance of the Martin Mars water bomber that passed over Port Alberni last Thursday was miraculous to many Valley residents. Commonly publicized but rarely seen airborne, the massive white and red aircraft undertook its test flight as cheers came from the streets below. With the ability to drop more water than any other air tanker in the world, the community’s savior had returned to finally put out the Dog Mountain blaze like the Mars had done so many times before. But this flight, and the Mars’ test drop in the Alberni Inlet the following day, ended up serving as no more than a reassurance
for Alberni residents that the famous plane is still air-worthy; it was too late for the Dog Mountain incident to be extinguished after the forest fire grew over a week to 450 hectares. The blaze was finally declared fully contained by British Columbia’s Wildfire Management Branch last weekend. That fire has since died down to a smoking expanse of burned forest currently being monitored by wildfire personnel, but the progression of the blaze — and the response directed by authorities — is destined to remain a raging point of contention among Alberni Valley residents for years to come. The bravery and dedication of wildfire fighters is not in question, nor is the community’s appreciation of these professionals who undertook the dangerous task of battling the fire on
the ground. But many believe that Dog Mountain should never have grown to the extent it did, and residents have every reason to question the contradictory explanations that have since been offered by the province’s wildfire and forestry services. An air tanker dropped over Dog Mountain only on Saturday, July 4 — the day the fire was first discovered and quickly grew from the reported 1.5 hectares to five hectares to 35 hectares on the following morning. As the burning expanded over the following days only groups of helicopters with buckets came for air support, suppression that appeared to do little to slow down the blaze as it spread across Dog Mountain. The Wildfire Management Branch has since explained that with several large forest fires burning in B.C. at one time, the
province is forced to prioritize the incidents that pose the greatest threat to the largest portion of the public. There is truth to this statement: Dog Mountain’s 450 hectares of damage is small in comparison to the wildfires currently burning near Pemberton, including the 5,262-hectare situation at Boulder Creek, or the Elaho fire, which has surpassed 12,000 hectares. But nothing offered so far by the province’s wildfire authorities has be able to explain an issue that became painfully ironic to Sproat Lake residents. They watched the Mars bomber sit idle by Sproat’s water as a fire continued to grow out of control by that same lake’s shores. After multiple urging from various levels of government, including Port Alberni’s mayor
and the Alberni Pacific Rim MLA, the minister of forests finally agreed to deploy the plane. “Given the extraordinary fire situation this year that we’re in, we’re looking to every possible tool in our toolbox,” said Forestry Minister Steve Thomson on July 8. Such an explanation will do little to quell local frustration from the refusal to use the bomber when it was needed over the first days of the Dog Mountain fire. It put out a fire on Dog Mountain 40 years ago. What has changed since then among those who make decisions to protect our forests from wildfires? Why are not all the available resources being used when they’re needed?
Activists and opposition: Be carefull who to believe
committees, crushing Carbon taxation and expensive investments into a green economy, and a weak response to terrorism. The Canadian government advocates firm program legislation and the Media needs to promote that progressiveness. The Press as a global mirror tends now to enshrine the ugly (fearful) as the normal standard. In their effort to destroy vice (corruption/fault), it is important that the press not neglect virtue (moral rightness). The people need true press. Decades ago advice about showmanship media was to believe none of what you hear or read, and only half of what you see. If the Press is focused on twisting the beliefs of the audience, then they do great disservice to the efforts of fair reporting. The real comedy of foolishness is that Twitter and U-tube reporting are pushing the genuine media into public irrelevance.

» Your Letters // e-mail: letters@avtimes.net Something smells with waterfront lease Having attended Monday night’s city council meeting . . . . The one item on the agenda that I was attending for was a motion of termination of a lease held by the Port Alberni Port Authority. To refresh: “WHEREAS the City of Port Alberni entered into a Lease of Lot A and B of the “Plywood Site” with the Port Alberni Port Authority on July 1, 2014. WHEREAS the terms of the Lease state that during the first year of the Term the Tenant must commence “industrial activity on the land” or the Lease “will be terminated upon 90 days written notice,” and also “provide landscaping improvements” and these milestones and covenants have not been met. WHEREAS the terms of the Lease also included non-binding expectations of: — Shared use of the Parking on Lot B for users of the Beach. — Construction of stairs from
Lot B to Lots A/C which public may access to beach — PAPA provision of utilities required to Lot A BE IT RESOLVED that the City of Port Alberni give the agreed 90-day notice of termination of the Lease beginning July 15th, 2015” Two councillors spoke of the fact that this was not a personal attack against PAPA, but simply failure to complete the agreed upon terms of the lease. Even though the motion was not defeated, it was tabled until the September council meeting, with five councillors in favour of tabling, and two against. Unbelievable. In one single stroke of the pen, city council has just said “we cannot be trusted to uphold the terms of ANY contract/lease that you sign with us, unless it is in our favour.” Something smells here, and it is not the cat box.

Canadians need to measure how and by whom their opinion is being manipulated. Public opinion is being forged against the government by media zeal, pundit viewpoints, opposition Politicians and by activist demonstrations. All claim to be the voice of Canadians but they are loud minority opinions. Activist speakers are negative on most proposed government legislation and close their comments with the intimidating remark, “it makes no sense.” Those speakers tell you the government is foolish and you are a fool to believe it. Confusion and especially fear are expressed by media savvy activists in order to influence opinion about risk. I believe people need to decide what risk is normal in real life otherwise nothing will be allowed to get done! Opposition Parties offer complex bureaucratic oversight

EMERGENCY
Brigade slays wildland fire in Ucluelet ANDREW BAILEY WESTERLY NEWS
The Ucluelet Volunteer Fire Brigade’s fast response and creative thinking stopped a potentially disastrous wildland fire from spreading last week. The July 8 fire started on private property in an isolated area between Little Beach and Terrace Beach and was reported by an aware and alert local. “Big kudos to Alexander McNaughton for reporting the fire and assisting the fire brigade with the initial fire response,” Ucluelet’s manager of environmental and emergency services Karla Robison told the Westerly News. “He was really great to report the fire right away and then be on scene to help out.” Robison said McNaughton’s call came in at 11:58 a.m. and local firefighters responded in about four minutes. “The brigade responded really well,” she said. “With the rapid response, outstanding skills and communications and remarkable teamwork they were able to safeguard the community of Ucluelet...had this fire spread quickly, some homes may have been threatened.” When the brigade arrived at the scene they did not immediately find a path to the blaze, which was spreading down a steep cliff, so Fire Chief Ted Eeftink called for additional support.
“At first there was difficulty getting the hose lay in; the crew was trying to stop the spread of the fire so they were using buckets,” Robison said. “The fire had gone over that really steep slope and, at the time, the chief didn’t know that there was a trail down there; we weren’t wasting any time, he just said, ‘Get a boat here. We can transport some people to that bottom area and have them bring buckets and potentially put out the fire that way.’” Robison got a hold of the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre and a Coast Guard support vessel was dispatched to help transport crews to the bottom of the cliff and the Coastal Fire Centre sent a helicopter en route. “The helicopter couldn’t make it to the scene because of fog in the area so it was turned around,” Robison said. “The plan was for that machine to pour a few buckets of water onto the steeper terrain to ensure that it was completely extinguished, however due to fog the helicopter had to turn back.” The helicopter ultimately wasn’t needed as the brigade turned to quick thinking and athleticism to kill the blaze when crewmembers Dave Ennis and Paul Galloway located a trail leading them, and a fire hose, to the bottom of the cliff and Shaun Mills rappelled down from the top

to chop away vegetation and expose hidden hot spots. “The crew was able to establish an approximate 600-700 foot hose lay...from a hydrant that connected to the pumper truck down a long trail to the tip of the peninsula,” Robison said. “With their rappelling gear, they were able to have a member go over the side of the bank with a pulaski and break apart the duff area and get into some of the other hot spot locations.” The crew doused the area and made sure no hot spots
were left before officially ruling the fire extinguished around 3 p.m. A cause for the fire was unknown at press time and Robison is reminding locals and visitors to abide by the recently implemented fire bans. “We’re asking people to take extreme precautions as the fire risk hazard is extreme,” she said. “All campfires are now banned throughout the province of British Columbia and
that includes the fog zone. It’s a precautionary step to prevent human caused wildfires and to protect public safety.” Robison is also urging West Coasters to be wary of the extra-dry conditions. “It is extremely dry which creates that higher risk hazard and I think because most of us live on the Coast or we’ve got visitors from around the world that want that camping experience we may tend to be a little bit complacent or forgetful,” she said. “It’s extremely important to be conscious of, not just not having campfires, but if you’re smoking to watch where you’re dropping your ash and extinguish your cigarette butt appropriately...All it takes is one little ember; if that one little ember is left, it can burn deep into the ground and get into root systems and spread underground.” In light of the increased risk, locals are reminded to be prepared and keep their 72-hour grab-and-go kits ready in case a fire forces them to evacuate. Anyone wanting to learn more about wildfires is encouraged to visit the BC Wildfire Service website and Robison said Ucluelet’s district website and Facebook page will be updated frequently as new information comes in.

Swann said the vessel’s skipper initially told police there was one case of beer and two bottles of alcohol onboard, but a search turned up significantly more than that. “In every cubby, every little hole, every little spot you could find on that large vessel there was alcohol,” Swann said. “In total, over 120 bottles of liquor...Not 120 cans of beer; I’m talking 120 full 750-millilitre bottles of alcohol.” The alcohol was seized and

We wish we could find a more personable way to say thank you to all the individuals and businesses that were supporting us through the Dog Mountain fire, but as we write this we have been informed we are heading off on another deployment. Based on the quick turnaround, we, the Thunderbird Unit Crew, really want to make sure the community knows how much we appreciate what was done for us. When we are working 16 hour days, finding time to make dinner and prep food for the next day was virtually impossible. We can honestly say that the support we were feeling from the community of Port Alberni was nothing like we have ever experienced before. We are not going to attempt to list everyone, as the list is too long, but the breakfasts, lunches, dinners, waters, Gatorades and kind words really did fuel us through the week. There is clearly something special about this town and it was really powerful to be on the receiving end of all the generosity.
Thank you, From the Thunderbird Unit Crew

Alberni’s Sproat Lake Regatta is back again and could be double the size of last year’s event. Alberni Valley Regatta Association president Greg Steel expects upwards of 40 boats in this year’s drag races on Sproat Lake this Saturday, though there could be as many as double that, he said. Participants are travelling from as far aways as Calgary. Final numbers will be known after the Show ‘n’ Shine, which is scheduled for Friday at 4 p.m. at the Pacific Chevrolet Buick GMC dealership on Johnston Road. The main event begins Saturday at 9 a.m. with races starting at 10 a.m. Steel said every effort is being made to ensure safety on the water, after a Langford man was killed last week on Sproat Lake when a boat he was in crashed onto the water and broke apart. Steel said he received multiple calls from people asking whether the tragic accident would cancel the drag races. “If you have a car accident downtown Port Alberni, are you going to look at shutting down Thunder in the Valley? No,” Steel said. A rescue boat with emergency responders will be on patrol for the races, he noted.

“We’re very, very strict when it comes to safety issues.” Greg Steel, AVRA president
Boomstick logs will be in place around the quarter-mile area of the lake where the boats will be racing, Steel said. “We’re very, very strict when it comes to safety issues,” he said. A speaker system and public address will be set up on the beach. Spectators watching on their own boats on the lake can tune in to 88.1 FM to listen to all the announcements. The races take place parallel to Sproat Lake Provincial Park. The event
is free for all viewers. Race categories vary from 40 horsepower putters up to 260 horsepower or more. Three Formula 1 power race boats are expected to wow the crowds with their high speed turns on an oval track around the drag strip. A 5,000 horsepower racing boat is also expected to make an appearance at this year’s Regatta, Steel said. “This thing can just grow and grow every year,” he said. To add more variety to this year’s event, there are some additional competitions and performances including dragonboats, stand-up paddle-boards, and even a 27-foot bathtub.

Montreal Alouettes slotback Justin Caliste runs for a first down in CFL action Thursday in Montreal.
[THE CANADIAN PRESS]
Als even record at 2-2, beat Tiger-Cats BILL BEACON THE CANADIAN PRESS
MONTREAL — It took a spectacular touchdown catch by S.J. Green and five turnovers for the Montreal Alouettes to get some payback on the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Green’s third-quarter reception and big games from the defence and kick coverage teams lifted the Alouettes to a 17-13 victory over the TigerCats in a defensive CFL struggle Thursday night at Percival Molson Stadium. “We knew coming into the game it would be a tough matchup,” said Montreal’s rookie quarterback Rakeem Cato, now 2-1 as a starter. “Play physical and keep grinding.” Boris Bede had three field goals and a single for Montreal (2-2), which avenged a loss to the Ticats in the East Division final in November. The Alouettes have not lost at home to Hamilton in 18 games since Oct. 20, 2002. Ray Holley scored his first career touchdown and Jason Medlock had a pair of field goals for Hamilton (1-2). It was hardly the most entertaining game for the crowd of 20,773, with both defences playing tight and neither team able to move the ball consistently. Hamilton quarterback Zach Collaros had a slight edge, completing 27 of 42 passes for 296 yards to Cato’s 23 tosses for 264, but the Alouettes rookie did not throw a pick while Collaros was intercepted three times. The Ticats also fumbled the ball away once and gave it away on downs. “Way too many penalties,” said Hamilton coach Kent Austin. “We didn’t play well offensively. “I think we played well enough defensively to win the game, but we had our opportunities and didn’t take advantage of them. And you can’t turn the ball over against a good team like that.” Another key was stopping Brandon Banks, the dynamic kick returner who had scored off punts in each of the Ticats first two games.

National energy strategy is key topic as premiers meet Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall offered a vocal defence of oil and gas sectors SUE BAILEY THE CANADIAN PRESS
ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — The premier of Newfoundland and Labrador says progress has been made on a national energy strategy, but talks among Canada’s premiers will continue for at least another day. Paul Davis spoke today after the first full day of the Council of Federation meeting in St. John’s, N.L., and said no deal has been reached yet. Agreement on an energy strategy was top of mind going into the meeting for many of Canada’s national leaders, who are now working through regional differences. Davis said earlier in the day that it’s more important to get a national energy strategy right than to get it done quickly. Saskatchewan Premier Brad
CLARK
Wall offered a vocal defence of the oil and gas sectors as he arrived for the meeting of provincial and territorial leaders. He says he’s concerned that energy resources are increasingly viewed as a liability in some parts of the country. “This energy strategy mentions
oil, but it’s almost in passing,” he said of an early draft of a document premiers had said they would hammer out before this summer’s meeting. “It’s almost like we’ve become embarrassed that we have this energy asset and we ought not to be because on the strength of developing that asset, we have funded innumerable social programs. We have created strong economies.” Wall said there’s growing frustration in the West, where the energy industry creates jobs and helps fund equalization transfers from the federal government to less-wealthy provinces. Alberta Premier Rachel Notley, whose NDP government has said it will strike a new course on environmental protection, stressed the need for balance.
“We are an energy province and my job is to make sure that we can grow prosperity in Alberta as well as across the country, and so we’re going to continue to do that,” she said Wednesday. All premiers are free to express their opinions, Davis said when asked if Wall’s outspokenness was stalling progress. Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil called Wall a “great partner” and said it’s important for all provinces to take a national view on how to best move resources across Canada and to international buyers. New Brunswick Premier Brian Gallant said he’s optimistic the premiers can agree on a national plan that will set guidelines for new projects, such as the proposed Energy East pipeline while also protecting the environment.

UFOs not uncommon CHINTA PUXLEY THE CANADIAN PRESS
WINNIPEG — A new report suggests UFO sightings in Manitoba are older than the province itself. Ufology Research, based in Winnipeg, says there have been just over 2,000 sightings of unidentified flying objects in the province in the last 200 years. Chris Rutkowski has been researching the phenomenon for 25 years and compiles an annual survey of Canadian sightings. An analysis of records from the government, the RCMP and the United States show Manitoba has a long history of close encounters, he said.

Defence Minister Jason Kenney and Public Works Minister Diane Finley jointly announced, through a press release, that a U.S. company had won two competitive contracts totalling $843 million to supply 1,500 trucks, 300 trailers and armoured protection kits. Once delivered in 2017-18, they will replace 1980s-vintage supply trucks, many of which the army has already parked because of safety and maintenance issues. The contract also calls for the U.S. firm to provide five years of in-service support, with an option to extend up to 15 years.

How can we grow in sanctifying grace? The first thing is to know who we are in the eyes of our God. This is the moment that changes a life and from here it is easy to begin. Then comes the next stage, the stage when changes are not coming as fast, progress becomes less visible. This is the moment when GOD is teaching us to be patient and real. I would love to call the second stage, “the never-ending land.” This statement may not perfect, but can you imagine better one? Yes, we are Christians during these times and everything may still seem possible to us. We can see aall the different ways we can go with God and all the possibilities and ideas that we can do, yet we are not getting there. This delay can feel like it is never-ending. Very often we don’t know what to do in these moments. We don’t know which way to go or whom we can trust. For us this ‘limbo’ existence is totally new. Because God made us free from sin and He changed the circumstances of our life we are ready to go and serve Him. But, we don’t want to act on our own as we did before, making our own decisions. We want to lean on Him and follow His lead.
hunger for God will be the moving part of the daily challenge. 3. Changes and daily tasks, like recognizing when the Holy Spirit is talking and when He is quiet, or if the idea to go and make food for your neighbour is from God or just you – these all take growth.
4. It is very important to have our own disciples. These moments of teaching and speaking about God are one of the best times we will spend in the week. 5. It is very important for our own “growth in sanctifying grace” and spiritual formation to know which gifts we have from Holy Spirit. 6. I believe that in this process of “growth in sanctifying grace” and spiritual formation we will fall in love with the fact that God is the only one, real love. 7. I or me is sometimes visible, but hopefully less and less as our Old person is shrinking and Jesus is growing in us.
1. One of the biggest things to be able to “grow in sanctifying grace” and spiritual formation is fellowship.
These are just some ideas of how God’s sanctifying grace and spiritual formation of our new life can grow faster and stronger. But without following God it is impossible. Everything I have written here is only by God’s grace and mercy. Amen.
2. We need time to read the Bible and pray, which is the beginning of a real relationship with our God. The knowledge and

ROBERT VICTOR STERLING January 1946-June 2015
With sadness, the family of Robert Sterling announces his passing from natural causes on June 27th. Robert was born to Winifred (Matthews) and Morley Sterling in Woking, England. He spent his childhood in Parrsboro NS and Sarita River BC. Port Alberni was his home most of his adult life. Above all, Robert loved to be out in nature. So it is some consolation that he died on the Bamfield road, coming back from a fishing trip. Any friends who would like to share memories or otherwise contact the family are invited to email his brother Derek Sterling. sterling@photographer.net

SOCIAL MEDIA
‘Unfriending’ needs to be done with caution LAUREN LA ROSE THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — After Jill Kennedy finished high school, she decided to conduct a purge of her Facebook friends list — a move she now regrets. “I think I lost a lot of connections that way,� says Kennedy, 23, founder of That’s the Idea, a professional social media and content management service. “Moving home after university, a lot of the people I unfriended are still here; so if I see them in public, it’s really awkward.� The Ajax, Ont., resident says she’s also been on the receiving end of “unfriending,� by people she was at one point close to or connected with through work or school. “I can understand when people you don’t see at all, or you met them once at a party and then they sort of disappear and you’re never going to see them again — I

get that. But when it comes to people that I’ve worked with, I think that’s what would irk me.� Friends and followers are amassed on social networks at lightning speed compared to the typically gradual build of relationships forged offline. Yet for some, being digitally deleted by
their contacts can be bruising to the ego — even if the relationships aren’t close. “In real life, you can just sort of let someone drift away from you . . . . You just stop interacting,� says Aimee Morrison, associate professor of English at the University of Waterloo, who works in digital humanities.
“There’s this idea that unfriending on Facebook is like an active step that you take to tell somebody: ’I don’t like you. I don’t want to see your stuff anymore.�’ What makes digital communications even trickier is the uncertainty around online etiquette, adds Morrison. “Social interactions and socially appropriate behaviours are culturally learned and Facebook is a new technology . . . . We’re all sort of casting about for what the rules are — let alone what they should be.� For those worried or uncertain about unfriending Facebook contacts, Morrison says the easiest thing to do is not engage with the individual’s posts by clicking or commenting on them. “Soon enough, the algorithm will bury that. You won’t see stuff from that person anymore.� Edward Kiledjian has a more active approach to managing his Facebook
feed. He regularly sifts through his friends list, taking note of whether he interacts with each individual and is interested in their updates. “My rule of thumb is if I haven’t spoken to somebody in the real world in the last six months or in the last year then probably we shouldn’t be connected on Facebook.� During his “quarterly cleanup,� Kiledjian says he’ll post a message to inform friends that they may be removed, but adds that they can reach out if they want to remain in touch. “You should be able to pick up the phone and call any of those Facebook friends and say: ’Hey, listen: I’m in trouble. I need a lift, I need a ride, I need help, I need information.’ “If you can’t do that, then you’ve got to ask yourself the question: ‘Then why am I connected to this person?�’
