FISHING TRAGEDY

Survivor describes capsizing Vessel from fatal sinking has yet to surface

making for people who don’t have access to elders,” Wells said. “Social media has been instrumental for sharing knowledge.” Community forums allow young families to stay engaged in the learning process, but a small group go further by meeting face-to-face. A “language nest” was formed through the Friendship Centre, providing community-based immersion for preschoolers. “The idea is to immerse kids in the language with no English,” Wells said. “It also fosters the parents to learn.” She said the learning process has gone from shameful to validating, but often remains an emotional journey for those who experienced the trauma of the residential school days. “People were physically and emotionally reprimanded for using the language,” Wells said. “Now we don’t have that, but there are still the ghosts that we have to overcome. It is quite remarkable to be a part of that healing movement.” New courses are starting up next week at North Island College.

An incident that took the lives of three men off the Island’s West Coast Saturday was caused by a vessel tipping while it picked up a net full of fish, according to accounts from the scene. A deckhand survived the disaster, but the three other crew members who were aboard the Caledonian died in the Pacific 55 kilometres west of Estevan point, which is located north of Tofino. Among these fatalities are Doug White, 41, and Keith Edward Standing, 48, from Port Alberni, as well as the commercial vessel’s skipper, 55-year-old Wesley Hagglund from Duncan. The survivor remains unidentified, but provided essential information to the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre into the cause of the tragedy. On an afternoon when other fishing crews in the area reported cloudy weather and two-metre waves, the Caledonian had one “bag” of fish on board and was picking up another a net full of catches when it began to tilt at approximately 3:30 p.m., said the JRCC’s marine rescue co-ordinator Colin Henthorne. The vessel keeled on its side, trapping Standing and White in the hull as Hagglund and the deckhand scrambled atop the partially submerged vessel. Several hours passed as the two gripped the portion of the ship that remained above water, until the body of one of the drowned men floated to the surface at approximately 10 p.m. “The one who survived lost sight of the skipper at that time – bear in mind, this was in the dark,” Henthorne said. “He never saw him again.” The survivor was wearing a life vest, and eventually swan towards a light in the distance that turned out to be the Caledonian’s inflatable life raft. He was later rescued by the Canadian Coast Guard. Investigations into the tragedy have been launched by the RCMP, B.C. Coroners Service and the Transportation Safety Board of Canada. As an independent government agency that assesses transportation fatalities and other incidents where risk could have been reduced, the board normally inspects equipment found at the scene. But in this case the Caledonian has yet to be found.

Efforts underway to save traditional speech KRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

Only one per cent of the Nuu-chah-nulth population speaks the traditional language, but measures are being taken to save it from extinction. Several initiatives are underway that allow all ages to be a part of the revitalization process, and for many, it is more than just simply about learning a language. When Victoria Wells shared her interest as an adult learner years ago, she did not foresee the impact her work would have on the community. As a member of the Ehattesaht First Nation, Wells has a passion for reclaiming the history of the aboriginal people and is doing so through education. Wells was a founding member of the Quuquuatsa Language Society in 2012, a non-profit organization designed to help teach the Nuu-chah-nulth language. “Only one per cent of the entire Nuu-chahnulth population speaks the language fluently,” Wells said. “And of that one per cent, only one-tenth are actively engaged through family or community-based sharing.” Quuquuatsa works in conjunction with the

University of Victoria to bring courses to Port Alberni. Along with adding economic value, Wells said it opens doors for people in the Alberni Valley. The courses are at North Island College and have had students attend from Ucluelet, Ahousaht, Kyuquot and Zebellos. Wells said the most difficult part of learning the language is making time for it, but she sees it as a hobby. “Like any hobby, you create time for it,” she said. Wells incorporates strategies in her home by posting new phrases each day on the bathroom mirror for her 11-year old son to learn. He attends Haa Huu Payuk School, where aboriginal language and culture is a basic component in the curriculum. “Some students go home and teach words to their parents,” said Gio Mussato, principal at Haa Huu Payak. “So the language is coming back from the brink of extinction.” To keep the interest among the younger generation, Wells has embraced digital literacy and the Society has made learning universal. “We are creating digital material for story

Island Timberlands closes trails Private logging company shuts down hiking paths for public safety, users worry about harvest impact “It’s a real shame the Valley couldn’t work out some sort of deal to keep that part forested.�

KRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

Island Timberlands announced Wednesday the weekday closure of the trails behind Coombs Country Candy, including those leading up to the Lookout. The recreational access closure was put into place while the company undertakes active logging in the area. The last time Island Timberlands harvested the private land was in 2012 and the impact is expected to be similar in size. “It will be a similar harvest pattern with a few small openings visible,� said Makenzie Leine, Island Timberlands’s manager of community and government relations. Leine said the work will be performed using all ground-based equipment with some work being done close to trails. The harvest will include various areas behind the candy store off the Log Train and the closure includes all access points from the gate to the motocross track. “We are closing the trails on weekdays for public safety,� she said. Recreational users worry about the impact the log harvest will have on the trails that have become known as one of the city’s attractions. As an avid hiker, Laurie Morphet regularly hikes up to

the Lookout and hopes the effects of the logging operations will be kept to a minimum. “The number of people I see hiking this trail is incredible,� Morphet said. “On Saturday, Carlee Holms’ family hiked it with a four-year old and the

group had two babies on their backs. “Last night a father and son drove it after a celebratory dinner and time together because his son started kindergarten yesterday. I was laying on the rock basking in the sunshine when

they drove up. It is an amazing gathering place.� Local cyclist Lee Blais said he always notices the impacts on the trails. “When they log it, it opens up and with the sun, the ferns and certain plants come back but the

trails will need a lot of work,� Blais said. “A lot of the volunteers don’t have the time anymore. It is nice that the cuts are smaller but at the same time, no one likes to ride through stumps. “It’s a real shame the Valley couldn’t work out some sort of deal to keep that part forested,� Blais said. Leine said Island Timberlands has consulted several different user groups. “We have worked consistently with interested people in Port Alberni to get feedback on our logging designs and will continue to have these conversations,� she said. Leine said the company realizes the importance of the trails and will work around them to ensure recreational access after the harvest. The weekday closure is effective until late October.

CLARIFICATION

www.news@avtimes.net

The Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District is looking into hiring a collection agency to secure delinquent fees, following a process undertaken by other municipalities. A recommendation has come before regional district directors to attain the services of J. McMillan Bailiff & Collection, a Nanaimo-based company that charges a 25 per cent commission on dues collected. Andrew McGifford, the ACRD’s acting manager of finance, said the regional district needs help following up on outstanding fees for landfills in the Alberni Valley and on the West Coast. The regional landfill charges to customers’ credit accounts, which can create headaches for ACRD staff.

“The occurrence of uncollectable accounts is very infrequent, although from time to time we do have large landfill balances that require constant follow up and staff time to resolve,� he wrote in a report for ACRD directors. “We also have landing fees and parking fees at the Long Beach Airport,� added McGifford. “We don’t have any other

option besides phoning and taking up staff time to get these accounts in order – but if we do get to the point where we need to have that resource in place, we can actually go and utilize that rather than write off an amount.� The City of Port Alberni uses collection agents to pursue debts, and the city of Parksville has contracted J. McMillian

Bailiff for delinquent bylaw enforcement and business licence accounts. Outstanding property taxes are a different matter, however, as a municipality can apply two years of unpaid dues towards a tax sale, which enables buyers to acquire a property by covering outstanding levies if they remain unpaid. Rural property debts are handled by the prov-

ince’s Surveyor of Taxes Office. “We don’t even collect taxes, it’s done through the Surveyor of Taxes through our rural areas,� noted McGifford. “We go through the District of Ucluelet, District of Tofino and the City of Port Alberni for any tax requisition that we have for those areas.� Eric.Plummer@avtimes.net

The dangers of voting by party colour

W

hen Port Alberni residents head to the polls on Oct. 19 for the federal election, it will be less than a year since the civic vote offered locals a chance to participate in the democratic process. While both votes give people an opportunity to play a role in how the government is formed, the upcoming federal vote brings its own partisanship issues that are not found on the smaller-scale municipal scene. Whether its a rural area like Beaver Creek or a city, those who vote in a municipal election are – for the most part – basing their decisions on a candidate’s reputation as an individual. This knowledge might come from years of being acquainted with the potential representative or recent comments a voter picked up on

from the media. Municipal elections represent democracy at a grassroots level where our prospective leaders speak for themselves. And the last opportunity brought an unprecedented number of candidates with 29 locals contending for spots on Port Alberni’s city council in 2014. Now a different challenge faces voters, and at the heart of the matter is if the winning candidate will truly represent Port Alberni’s unique needs in a Parliament more than 4,400 kilometres away. Except in a few isolated cases of independent candidates, in federal and provincial elections voters choose someone who speaks on behalf of a political party. With a highly recognizable leader as its main representative, a party takes a stance on a complex array of issues

with a unified message. Candidates make no mystery of this, often quoting their party leader while responding to questions – a practice that has often come up over the first few weeks of this long election season. The Liberals have even dubbed themselves “Team Trudeau” in some correspondence with the hope of spreading one recognizable man’s charisma from coast to coast. In federal politics it’s important to be a team player, a reality that applied to the situation facing James Lunney earlier this year. The Member of Parliament who has represented Nanaimo-Alberni for the last 15 years resigned from the Conservative caucus on March 31 to defend his “Christian world view.” Lunney’s beliefs were under attack by efforts to have “Christians cut out of politics

by ignorant people who don’t understand how their own cells work,” as he stated in an article published in the Alberni Valley Times and Westerly News in April. To Lunney’s credit, he felt the need to stand up for what he believes in, which is a right anyone should have in a democratic society. But according to how political parties work today, Lunney’s personal stance was too far out, leading the MP to sit as an independent representative for the duration of his elected term. In national politics the stakes are exponentially higher than at the municipal level, as the Government of Canada juggles billions of dollars while handling issues that spread far beyond our country’s borders. The risk now at hand is to elect an individual in the Courte-

nay-Alberni riding who will regularly take this community’s needs to Ottawa over the coming years – and not simply win our favour this fall to join the fold of a larger government operating according to its own agenda. As a west coast community Port Alberni is continually overlooked by Canada’s upper levels of government, and struggles to lobby for such initiatives as building a safer highway into the Valley, developing an airport worthy of passenger travel and bringing work opportunity here that will keep citizens from seeking employment elsewhere. There’s no community in Canada that needs strong federal representation more than Alberni, making this a crucial election for the community to gain support in Ottawa.

You cannot park an RV of any size on their property. So we lose most of those tourists.

Sure hope there is no accidents there,who will be to blame? But we must not be interested in RV’S as we have no parks for them close to town. StampFalls, Sproat Lake, Arrowvale, not bad but not close. Timberlodge is not big enough. We have a magnificent Valley, with alot to offer. How great would it be to have a large area campground, top of the line mini golf, water slides, full hookups, a reason to stay in this great city.It starts with the tourist bureau being able to accomodate RVs. If we can spend that kind of money to build an info center...then where’s the parks? Has anyone got an idea of where to put one? Might be interesting to hear some ideas.

She says VIHA must “focus its limited budget on areas of greatest need.” I guess we should not be surprised that, in VIHA’s estimation, the needs of Nanaimo and Qualicum continue to trump the needs of Port Alberni and Tofino. These remarks display their complete ignorance of the geographical, cultural and social differences between NanaimoQualicum and Port Alberni-Tofino. It’s easy to sit in an office in Victoria and figure that funding care beds in Nanaimo and Qualicum should pacify

residents here. Ms. Germaine states that VIHA is funding services to “allow folks to live at home for longer.” That’s all well and good, but there comes a time when living at home is just too much strain for the family and outright dangerous for the patient, and that is when a care facility must be available. In Nanaimo and Qualicum the median income levels are higher than here, there are those who can afford private care beds at $5,000 to $7,000 per month, and private facilities are available. Private care homes do not exist here. The only care homes in this regional health district are those that VIHA will fund. Unfortunately Tofino Mayor Osborne seems resigned to this arbitrary verdict that no care beds will be funded for Tofino. Rather than complaining that she’s on a hamster wheel, she should stand up and fight VIHA for equitable health care for West Coast citizens. It’s time that VIHA provide adequate levels of care for our area, and a good start would be

More RV accomodation needed to boost tourism Re: ‘Visitor numbers jumped in summer: Chamber’ AV Times Page 1, Sept. 9 An article in the AV Times on Sept. 9 talked about the tourist numbers being so good this year, fantastic, that is a great sign for the Valley. I think the mobile van sounds like it’s working as well. I just can’t help but wonder, what about RVs? After spending $1.5 million dollars for the tourist info center, where’s the parking for RVs? You can’t turn in from the Johnston Road extension, no left turn, so if you make the proper turn on the Redford extension, turn into the parking lot...what no parking?

Seven returning skaters and 16 new faces enter the arena at the Island Savings Centre in Duncan this weekend to start the 2015–16 B.C. Hockey League season for the Alberni Valley Bulldogs. The ‘Dogs face the Cowichan Valley Capitals at 7 p.m. Saturday – a re-match after their pre-season loss last Wednesday in overtime. The Bulldogs announced their final 23-player roster this week. “There’ll be some new bodies in the lineup,” said Kevin Willison, head coach and general manager of the club. “We didn’t want to show them our ace in the hole, so we didn’t show them everything we had. Come Saturday hopefully we’ll show them we’re a team to be reckoned with.” Ten players on the Bulldogs roster are considered rookies, including local product Logan Savard. The 18-year-old, six-footone, 210-pound power forward played four playoff games with the Bulldogs last season, adding two

Brady, Gronk connect in Pats win

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — It was as if Tom Brady never was away. Of course, he never really was, and with “Deflategate” behind him and the Patriots, the star quarterback was back to his unstoppable self. Brady threw for four touchdowns, three to favourite target Rob Gronkowski, and Super Bowl champion New England beat undermanned and generally ineffective Pittsburgh 28-21 in the NFL’s season opener Thursday night. His four-game league suspension overturned by a federal judge one week ago, the threetime Super Bowl MVP was in midseason — or post-season — form. He led drives of 90 and 64 yards for scores on passes to Gronkowski. The All-Pro tight end scored from the 16, 6 and 1.

He also recovered a fumble by running back Dion Lewis at the Pittsburgh 1 before his final TD. Showing some love for his other tight end, newcomer Scott Chandler, Brady hit him for a 1-yard score to cap an 80-yard march with the second-half kickoff. Brady has 161 victories, tops for a starting quarterback with one franchise in NFL history; he set a team-record with 19 straight completions; and he had his 23rd game with four or more touchdown passes, third all-time along with Brett Favre. The outcome added to a festive mood at Gillette Stadium, despite persistent rain showers that didn’t bother the home team. Before kickoff, the Patriots unveiled their fourth championship banner as owner Robert Kraft and three former players carried out the most coveted prizes in the trophy case: New

assists. He’s spent the last two seasons with the Oceanside Generals in Junior B, scoring 15 goals and 32 points in 47 games. Willison said the team will have to work hard early in the season to establish themselves. “We’ve got to certainly get back to the identity we had last year as a hard-working team – one that never quits,” he said. Team chemistry should start to gel in the first few weeks of the season, he added. The Bulldogs’ No. 1 goaltender Chris Tai starts in net on Saturday. Chris Schutz returns to the Bulldogs this year, but was injured in the last pre-season game in Victoria. He’ll be out for two to three weeks, said Willison.

“Come Saturday hopefully we’ll show them we’re a team to be reckoned with.”

England’s four Lombardis. Fourth-quarter crowd chants of “Where is Roger?” mocked Commissioner Roger Goodell over “Deflategate.” Goodell did not attend. Neither, it seemed, did the Steel Curtain. Only occasionally did it come close to clamping down on Brady, yielding 361 yards. Third-string running back Dion Lewis rushed for 69 yards, and leading receiver Julian Edelman had 11 catches for 97 yards. Gronkowski had 94 yards. Minus two All-Pros on offence — running back Le’Veon Bell (suspended) and centre Maurkice Pouncey (injured) — and without suspended receiver Martavis Bryant, Pittsburgh moved the ball decently. But it never really was close. The Patriots even sacked someone other than Ben Roethlisberger.

Earl Thomas ready for Seahawks opener

Mats Sundin to be honoured by Maple Leafs

CURTIS CRABTREE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RENTON, Wash. — Earl Thomas has not missed a game in the first five seasons of his NFL career and he has no intention of starting now. Despite missing the entire preseason, the star free safety is expected to start in Sunday’s regular-season opener against the St. Louis Rams. “I’ve gotta keep the streak alive,� Thomas said. “It means a lot. I love this game. I’m just excited to go out there and play football.� Thomas has played in 80 regular-season games and 10 post-season games since being selected in the first round by the Seahawks in 2010, along the way becoming one of the best at his position. He’s been selected to four Pro Bowls and been a three-time first-team All-Pro. “That’s a spark plug in our defence,� defensive co-ordinator Kris Richard said. “He’s an

THOMAS

impact player. He’s been working himself into a groove and it’s going to be a good thing to have him back.� Thomas had surgery to repair the damaged labrum in his left shoulder this off-season and began training camp on the physically unable to perform list. He’s practiced for several weeks but was held out of games to limit the contact on his shoulder. “It was very tough,� Thomas said. “You see guys out there fly-

ing around. I’m a competitor and I think they’re getting the upper hand on me and I can’t do nothing but just sit.� Thomas injured his shoulder in last season’s NFC championship game against the Green Bay Packers. He played through the injury as the Seahawks rallied to earn a 28-22 victory and a second consecutive trip to the Super Bowl. Thomas once again suited up despite the injury and managed to make nine tackles in the 28-24 loss to the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl. He had to have his jersey cut off in the locker room after the game in order to get out of his uniform. With Kam Chancellor continuing his contract holdout, Thomas’ return is vitally important for the Seattle defence. Dion Bailey will be making his first NFL start at strong safety in Chancellor’s place and Cary Williams will make his first start

in place of departed cornerback Byron Maxwell, who signed with Philadelphia in free agency. Thomas said he will still have to wear a harness on his shoulder for added protection. “I hate the harness they put on me but I’ve got to wear it,� Thomas said. “I feel like I can’t highpoint anything but that’s the way my cards are dealt right now.� So is that going to be a limitation? “If it’s going to talk the opposing offence into throwing my way, then yeah,� Thomas said with a chuckle. While Thomas hasn’t been able to test his shoulder out with real contact in games, he’s been hitting weighted bags and putting pressure on his shoulder to make sure it’s ready to go. Head coach Pete Carroll doesn’t see any limitations. “He looks as fast as ever and looks great, so I don’t see any indication that he’s not ready,� Carroll said.

STEPHEN WHYNO THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Mats Sundin idolized Borje Salming growing up. Soon he will be bronzed next to his hero on the Toronto Maple Leafs’ Legends Row. Sundin, the franchise leader with 420 goals and 987 points, will be the latest Leafs star to be immortalized as part of the monument outside Air Canada Centre when his statue is unveiled during the team’s fan fest Saturday. “Borje Salming and Mats Naslund at the time were my idols growing up,� Sundin said Thursday night after a season-ticket-holder event at Air Canada Centre. “For me to be a part of Legends Row together with Borje, it’s obviously tough to take in, as well.�

He moved to Port Alberni in 1947 where he grew up and then moved to Squamish, BC in the 60's. He is remembered by his Sons Steven (Sasha), Clayton (Rhonda) Jamie (Ann). Grandchildren Brandi, Ashlee, Rosalee, Nicole, and SaraJayne. Great Grandchildren Benjamin and Alexis and by all his Brothers and Sisters and their Families. There will be a celebration of his life September 19, 2015 from 1:00 4:00pm at the Alberni Legion.

LYNN POWELSON October 04, 1923 – August 31, 2015 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Lynn Powelson. Predeceased by his wife Trudy in 2009 as well as parents David and Genevieve Powelson and 9 of his 11 siblings. Lynn leaves behind daughters Diana (Robert) Tooze, Comox, Terry (Brian) Constable and Karen (Larry) Salyn, Port Alberni. He also leaves grand-daughters Barbara, Wendy, Christine and their families which include 8 great-grandchildren Alicia, Brenden, Jacob, Hayden, Maya, Joshua, Jacob and Jared. Sister Donna Caillet of Cedar and brother Robert of Edmonton as well as sister-in-law Donna (Clarence) Silvius of Port Alberni. Lynn was born in Raymond, Alberta. During his younger years he and his siblings helped on the family farm, he was also a jockey and won several races. An accomplishment he was very proud of. A World War II Veteran, Lynn joined the RCNVR and was sent overseas aboard the “Queen Mary�, assigned to the Corvette – “HMCS Lunenburg� as a stoker. He met his wife Trudy in Prince Rupert and they were married in North Vancouver in 1945 where daughter Diana was born. Lynn got a job at the APL sawmill which later became the APD in Port Alberni where he relocated his family and Terry and Karen were born. When Lynn retired from the APD he worked for several years with his son-in-law Larry at his motorcycle shop where he helped with the tire changes and aptly earned the nickname “half-tire�. In their younger years Lynn and Trudy were members of the “Haymakers� square dance group. A 50 plus year member of the Legion, he spent many volunteer hours helping with many of the group committees. He loved fishing, cribbage and crossword puzzle books. He looked forward to his beer with the boys every Sunday whether it was at Branch #55 Legion or in the last few years the Barclay. Lynn leaves us with wonderful memories, lots of smiles and laughter. But he will be happy to finally be back together with the love of his life once again. "See you later Alligator" A Graveside Service will be held at 1:00pm, Monday, September 14, 2015 at Greenwood Cemetery “Field of Honour� when interment of both Lynn and Trudy will take place. Cremation has taken place. The family would like to thank Dr. Lund for his kindness and caring for Dad over the years and also the caring nurses of West Coast General Hospital during Dad’s final days. The family would also like to express their gratitude to Lisa and the girls of “Loving Hands Senior and Community Care� for the exceptional care and cribbage games they provided for Lynn over the last few years. In lieu of flowers, friends and family may make donations in Lynns memory to a charity of their choice.

The election campaign trail is a prime opportunity to engage people in a meaningful dialogue; — conversations that matter. Imagine if all the money that is spent on the campaign trail was to be spent on engaging citizens in community conversations

challenges we face as communities is the number of people who have learned to complain rather than participate in solution focused forums. Jesus is a role model of a humble, spiritual and political leadership. He accepted his leadership responsibility to engage his community in social change. Jesus said, “love your neighbour.� Politicians be courageous, take this election opportunity to engage your riding in meaning-

ful connections, conversations, and citizenship rallies. Hold the firm conviction that together we can figure out how to be more effective caring communities. Of primary concern to Jesus were the poor. So too, people of spiritual action, our primary concern ought to be poverty.

NEW CEDAR SWING The Rollin Art Centre was given a recent gift by Jim Lawson and the students of SD 70 and VAST. Stop by to take a swing on this beautiful new addition to the gardens, where many generations of family photos have been taken. Now, replaced by this work of art in-itself, many more generations will have the opportunity for family photos, or just a time to reflect. The old cedar swing was in desperate repair and ready to crumble when Jim Lawson took on this project, to teach his students the fine craft of wood working while giving back to the community. PAINTING FOR BEGINNERS This class at Echo is meant for adults interested in learning the basics of watercolour painting; beginning with monochromatic (one colour) painting to two-colour and then onto multi-colour paintings proceeding in a stepby-step fashion so that each technique is understood before we move onto the next. We will paint a variety of subjects from still life to landscape
