◆ COVER STORY

Tlu-piich Games kick off this week SUSAN QUINN ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

The annual TluPiich Games kick off Tuesday, Aug. 11 in Port Alberni with track and field events and opening ceremonies at 5 p.m. at Bob Dailey Stadium, and a culture night at 7 p.m. at the Port Alberni Friendship Centre. The Tlu-Piich Games “brings families together, celebrates youth and promotes healthy living,” Games coordinator Marissa Bennett says. She anticipates at least 2,000 athletes and spectators will attend from Tseshaht, Hupacasath, Ditidaht, Huu-ay-aht, Ahousaht, Uchucklesaht, Tlao-qui-aht, Ucluelet, Mowachaht/ Muchalat, Pacheedaht of Port Renfrew and

Snuneymuxw of Nanaimo. The theme this year celebrates Nuu-chahnulth youth. “This year the Games will focus on providing positive experiences for our youth in various sporting competitions and instructive sporting clinics that bring

families together,” Bennett said. Spectators are welcome at any of the sporting events and others such as the free movie night Aug. 12 at Bob Dailey Stadium. This year, more traditional and language games will be offered, she

added. On Friday, Aug. 14 the Tlu-Piich Games is putting on a free family picnic at Williamson Park from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. “Join us and Scotiabank...to learn some traditional games, enter a team into the Nuu-chahnulth Language Treasure Hunt and

play a fun game of Lahal at Williamson Park.” An important part of the Games is the Sports Hall of Fame, where family members can nominate people who are or were wellrounded athletes. Newest members will be announced at the opening ceremonies.

“It gets pretty emotional,” Bennett said. Photos of past winners will be hung in the Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council (NTC) office. “On behalf of the Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council we would like to thank the Tseshaht and Hupacasath First

Nations for allowing the 2015 Tlu-Piich Games to occur within their territories,” NTC president Debra Foxcroft and vicepresident Ken Watts wrote in a joint statement. Follow the Games on Facebook page, Nuuchahnulth Tlupiich Games.

We would like to thank the Alberni Valley community for making our 2015 Camp one to remember!

hile scanning my cousin’s photos and negatives last month, I came across photos/ negatives from other people that I knew or had been paid to photograph them. I decided that now is the time to address the issue of 13 large boxes full to the brim with catalogued negatives and photographs in colour and black and white dating from 1960 up to 2002. In one month I have managed to empty only one carton. The way that I work is this: I pull out the manila folder, check the date and the content and decide if I shred or

MICHAEL KAMPEN/SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Preparing rough stock lumber requires three machines, starting with the jointer, right, then the planer, above, and finishing up with a table-saw or miter saw. You can remember the order of machines to use with the acronym FEE — Face, Edge and Ends.

Good lumber starts with solid foundation The Alberni Valley News introduces a new monthly column, Shop Talk, by woodworking expert Michael Kampen.

ou can purchase lumber that has been dressed on all sides but the cost of this additional processing is reflected in the higher price. Purchasing your lumber as rough 4/4 stock allows the greatest flexibility and the lowest cost but you will require some machinery to prepare it. When working with solid lumber, success for any project requires stock that is flat, straight and

resulting in a flat and smooth surface. With the first side dressed, move on to the thickness planer. This machine has a single table with the cutter head above the work. Place the smooth surface from the jointer face down on the table and the overhead knives will remove material from the remaining rough side. When the board emerges, it will be flat and a consistent thickness from one end to the other. Skipping the jointer and moving directly to the thickness planer will result in a board that is smooth but it will not be flat. Using a

jointer for both faces will result in a board that is thinner at one end than the other. Next, confirm your fence is square to the knives on the jointer; we use a simple digital angle gauge to get the setting perfect. Next, with the face of the board pressed firmly against the fence, joint one edge of the board. This provides a surface at a perfect 90 degrees to the two faces. To prepare the final edge, move back to the thickness planer and run the piece through with the good edge down. This will give you the final edge square to the other two faces and parallel

which has the faces, edges and ends are square to each other. Any joinery or gluing up of panels will be dependent on how well you prepared your stock initially and you cannot cover up shortcomings at this stage later in the process. The machines you use and the order you use them is critical when preparing rough lumber. Remember the acronym FEE: this stands for Face, Edge and Ends. You will need three tools to prepare your rough stock: a jointer, a thickness planer and a table-saw or miter saw. On the jointer, the infeed table is offset from the outfeed table. As the material moves over the knives, any irregularities in the board are milled away,

Huu-ay-aht headquarters

The Huu-ay-aht First Nation celebrated the official opening of its new head office on Friday, Aug. 7. The new office at 4644 Adelaide St. is more than twice the size of the previous building on Third Avenue. Festivities began with a blessing prayer from Wish-Key (Robert Dennis Jr.). Nearly 100 people turned out to tour the building and help celebrate.

copyright on it and stamp the photo then I re-size the photo to 4” x 6” at 75 or 100DPI, save the photo as a JPG on the floating on the desktop. This image is small enough to e-mail someone (and not have them wait for 10 minutes until it downloads while they curse your name) or even put on Facebook or on Craigslist. If it is a photo of a person then I try to find an e-mail or private message them on Facebook and include the 100 DPI photos. When I am sure that the person has received the small format photos then I proceed to shred the negs and or photos (I keep one photo aside for me). Some people have contacted me wanting

larger DPI images so that they would be able to blow the photos up so I send them the large DPI TIFF photos.….now you know the reason why I have saved the photos as two separate files, one large DPI file to blow up and on small DPI file to e-mail. I then save the file folders on a separate external 2-terrabyte hard drive. Editor’s note: This will be the final Digi Pixels column as Norman Silverstone will be moving away from the Alberni Valley.
