SD70 to cut $1M in budget District saves $200K from school moves

money is in place to do the structural work,” Kenny said. In contrast, high tech will be installed at Harbour Quay to replace the aging entrance sign. Approved at Monday’s City Council meeting at a cost of $50,000, Kenny expects delivery in eight weeks. The sign will have improved visualization with lit up text and graphics that can be changed to reflect upcoming events and weekly specials by merchants. “The old sign is at the end of its course and is hard to maintain,” Kenny said. He hopes the new sign will be up by August in the same location.
The Alberni school district is planning to cut about $1 million in spending for the 2015–16 school year in order to balance the budget. School board trustees passed the 2016 annual budget on Tuesday. Salaries and benefits are up about $400,000 for the next school year, including a one per cent increase to CUPE employees effective July 1. With a million-dollar reduction in spending on services and supplies, total operating expenses are budgeted to decrease by $600,000. Kindergarten to Grade 5 students at Gill Elementary and Eighth Avenue Elementary will be moved to A.W. Neill and E.J. Dunn, respectively. The two former middle schools will realign to a kindergarten to Grade 7 model in September. Other elementary schools in the Alberni Valley will expand to offer Grade 6 in September, and Grade 7 in 2016–17. Eighth Avenue is not being closed, but rather repurposed, said SD70 secretary-treasurer Lindsay Cheetham. It will house the Choices Distributed Learning and adult education programs. The adult program will be moved from the former Mt. Klitsa Junior Secondary site on Tebo Avenue. The district also plans to move the Vast alternative education program to the Eighth Avenue building from its current location on Redford Street. After closing Gill Elementary and repurposing Eighth Avenue Elementary schools this month, the district expects to save about $200,000 over the following year, said Cheetham. “We didn’t realize that much from the schools,” Cheetham said. “It’s hard to tell at this point what we will be saving in terms of our utilities. But in terms of staffing and that, it hasn’t been that much.” The district will lose one full-timeequivalent position from custodial staff, with one-and-a-half FTE jobs cut in clerical staff, Cheetham said. Cheetham said funding protection from the B.C. Ministry of Education is up to $1.8 million for the upcoming school year – $800,000 more than the 2014–15 year. Funding protection is provided to school districts with steep declines in student enrolment to help meet expenses.

igns, both old and new, will be erected to reflect Port Alberni’s past and present. The focal point, donated earlier this year from the Chamber of Commerce, was moved from storage at the Somass mill to the City Works Yard for assessment. Before it is put up at the corner of Victoria Quay and Roger Street, staff will determine what repairs will be done. “We have to take the steel supports off first before we know what we’ll have to do,” said Scott Kenny, director of Parks, Recreation and Heritage. He said there will have to be some rot repair.

BIKE FOR HEART
TRIBUTE TO SENIORS
Community support shows with ride along city streets KRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
The Big Bike for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC rode through town on Wednesday. Eight teams joined the annual fundraiser to raise both money and awareness for the charity. More than $19,000 was raised locally. Two teams, including Buy-Low Foods and Curves gained VIP recognition by raising more than $5,000 each. Both teams have been taking part since the event’s inception. Buy-Low Foods also plays host, with the start and finish taking place in the store’s parking lot. This year their donation topped more than any other year. Twenty-seven staff members, family and friends raised $5,070 through raffles and individual donations. Then they hopped on the bike to pedal a route to Victoria Quay, along Gertrude Street and up Johnston Road. “Even with 27 people it was still a challenge because the bike is over 2,000 pounds,” said Buy-Low Foods assistant manager Kent Heggs.
The only challenge team Dangerous Curves had was their choice of T-shirt colour, according to the fitness centre manager, Trudy Johannessen. “Apparently the bugs are attracted to yellow,” she said. “All in all it was good, though.” This year the team raised $5,000 and over the eight years have contributed more than $38,000 to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. They do it also to raise awareness. “Heart disease is the number one killer among women so people need to be made aware of that,” Johannessen said. This year each of the team’s 29 members collected individual donations, but in the past they have collectively held bottle drives, books sales and other events. Other teams taking part included those from the Huu-ah-aht First Nations, Port Alberni Mental Health, Coastal Community Credit Union, RBC, BMO and Alberni Fitness.

Coastal fire bans in effect; campfires OK KRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
The hot, dry weather has officials reminding the public to take all precautions with fires. Effective noon Wednesday, June 10, the Coastal Fire Centre issued a ban on Category 2 and 3 open fires throughout its jurisdiction, which includes the Alberni Valley. Category 2 fires include backyard and debris burning, as well as the use of firecrackers, fireworks, sky lanterns, burning barrels or burning cages. The burning of any material smaller than two metres in height and three metres in width is prohibited. Category 3 prohibits the forest industry from burn large piles. Campfires remain permitted through the weekend. “Most of the Island is in high

fire danger rating, so we want the public to be very aware,” said Marg Drysdale, fire information officer with the Coastal Fire Centre. “Even if the temperature feels cooler, the winds come through and dry things out.” Campfires must be a half metre by half metre in size and responsibly monitored at all times, Drysdale said. “They must be put out com-
pletely and should be put out if it gets windy,” she added. The prohibition will remain in effect until October 16 or until further notice. Within city limits, outdoor burning is banned until October 15, with the exception of cooking fires that are pre-authorized by the fire department chief.

Stephen Harper averse to tough politics
T
he tried-and-true measurement to use to assess the worthiness of a mayor, a premier or a prime minister seeking reelection is their continued willingness to be politicians. Besides the unending scorn of cranky voters, politics and governing is hard work, fraught with both risk and uncertainty. The incumbents deserving of consideration for another term in office have the same fire in their belly as they did the day they announced their candidacy. From that standpoint, voters need to give a hard look at Stephen Harper this fall. The federal Conservative leader has clearly fallen into the trap (and trappings) of political leadership, where the ambassadorial role become far more fun and interesting than the administrative role. It’s easy to be an ambassador because it doesn’t involve much more than a nice suit, a boring tie, a firm handshake and the
appropriate look of concern/ engagement/humor the situation and present company require. A patience for formality, a willingness to travel, especially outside of your jurisdiction, and an eagerness to give speeches are essential. The G7 meetings in Europe and a quick visit to Ukraine are just the latest examples where Harper has demonstrated his increased unwillingness to be the prime minister. Why stay home and work on tough stuff like Senate reform, updating or scrapping the Indian Act, and drafting new legislation on doctor-assisted suicide when there are international meetings to attend and Russian leaders to lip off? That’s right, Vladimir Putin, he’s talking to you but don’t worry about it - Canadians aren’t listening to Harper, either. Canadians have never wanted their prime ministers to be presidents and that remains true to this day. In the republic model, the president stands apart as a
balance, along with the Supreme Court, of the legislative bodies. In the parliamentary system, the prime minister, as the job title explicitly states, is in the trenches with the rest of the ministers, the first among equals, working on the daily business of government. Put another way, Canadians prefer their prime ministers to be statesmenlike but not statesmen because statesmen see themselves as above that messy business of politics. Harper has been prime minister for almost a decade. He came into office eager to engage in both policy and politics in equal measure, yet his interest in doing both seems to have waned during his majority term as prime minister. Perhaps it was the uncertainty that came with a minority government that kept him sharp and on his toes before but he now seems increasingly detached from voters and even the foot soldiers in his own party. He’s gone from
despising senators and the Senate to apologizing for both. Where once he chastised government for spending millions promoting itself, he now devotes more money than ever to advertising and his personal YouTube channel. He’s gone from apologizing on behalf of all Canadians for the tragedy of residential schools to saying nothing when the Truth and Reconciliation Commission finds Canada guilty of genocide and provides the documentation and personal stories to back that charge up. At the height of their political arrogance, even Jean Chretien, even Brian Mulroney, even Pierre Trudeau, didn’t delegate as much as Harper appears to. Even when those former prime ministers handed off the mundane policy work, they never backed away from a political fight and relished lacing up the partisan gloves and going toe-to-toe with all comers. Among a growing number of Conservative supporters, they’d
rather see Harper wipe the floor with Justin Trudeau in Question Period than see yet another petty attack ad. That approach comes with risk, however, because when you’re looking to give somebody a black eye in the political arena, it could be you that ends up with your butt on the floor. The longer Harper gets his mail delivered to 24 Sussex Dr., however, the more reluctant he’s becoming to taking political risks and playing to win. The hockey historian in Harper should know better. There’s a big difference in mentality between winning and not losing. One focuses on success and accomplishment, the other focuses on fear and failure. Not only is Harper increasingly playing not to lose, he’s spending too much time in the front office managing the team instead of on the ice, where victory and defeat are really decided.
on the golf course” with. “Private contractors” = are the private-sector contacts government hires into the public service to remain as far away from taking direct responsibility as possible, making the contractor the middle-man between government and the citizens it’s supposed to serve. Meantime, citizens of B.C continue to suffer with increasing dis-ease while – like a malignant cancer draining the lifeblood out of health-care – politicians grease their power-base and health-care executives enrich themselves at taxpayers’ expense. Time for a cure, B.C – let alone the rest of Canada!
Turns out the philosopher was closer to the truth than the politician, as there are wars in some parts of the globe on an almost continuous basis, with no end remotely in sight. Presently, we have seven politicians sitting down for their annual discussion, and coming up with usually vague, and often meaningless, declarations about security, terrorism, economies, etc,. Now this decarbonization pledge. Let’s be honest with ourselves, who believes very much of what any politician says, and who really believes them during election campaigns when they make promises to be kept a few years hence? Now we are supposed to believe a promise to be kept 85 years hence. Some environmentalists may claim victory in this G7 decarbonization pledge, but they should be prepared to hold their breaths for the next 85 years, and see how things work out. In my jaundiced view, this may be the political promise to end all political promises; George Santayana may probably have agreed, with : “Skepticism, like chastity, should not be relinquished too readily.”

» Your Letters // e-mail: letters@avtimes.net Politicians grease power in two-tier health care The Vancouver Sun reports, “British Columbia is turning to private clinics to help ease a massive backlog of surgeries ...” “Under current laws, private clinics are not supposed to collect money from patients if the treatment is an insured service in the public system. Lake said B.C. remains fully against a two-tier health system, but the government has used private clinics in the past and considers many of its physicians to be private health care contractors. ...A Health Ministry official said the ‘cost of doing procedures in a private surgical facility is generally comparable to what it would have cost to do them in a public health care facility’ but could not offer a specific comparison.” Okay, so who are these “private contractors” besides private-sector bu$ine$$ executives who are hep to Forbes latest “top-10 ways to become a billionaire” which includes health-care?! Remembering, of course, it’s not the hands-on care-givers who are raking in the big salaries with accompanying benefits, pensions, and bonuses, etcetera: it’s health-care administrators: beaurocrats (more with credentials in business and commerce than medicine) trying to micromanage health-care by dictating to health-care professionals (like trained/experienced doctors and nurses) how to provide quality patient care.

De-carbonization in 2100 a political promise When that “decarbonization” promise to end all fossil fuel use by the year 2100 came in the closing communique of the just-completed G7 meeting in Germany, I couldn’t help but think of H.G.Wells. Exactly 100 years ago the prolific British commentator first wrote that The Great War was “the war to end all wars.” His statement was often repeated, most notably by the then U.S. president Woodrow Wilson, whom philosopher George Santayana was quick to inform : “Only the dead have seen the end of wars.”

Our bodies are basically built the same way. We live life through our senses. In the end, we often share the same experiences. We taste the same types of food, we breath the same air, we see the same mountains, we hear the same sounds, smell the same smells and the same sun shines down on all of us.

David Zvonar Faith Matters the same things in gym class. So, where do the differences come? What makes our lives unique from each other? Or, why do we feel special or different, often better, then the others. Why do some feel like they know more then all of us. For me, the only difference between us is that some people on this earth know God personally, and through this relation-
ship they have the freedom to choose to be who they were created to be. Others pretend they know Him, but as a god without powers. He is not allowed the possibility to work in their lives. The majority of the population never enters into a relationship with the one true God, the real creator of this universe. This saddens my heart. It seems like creation itself is not enough to prove God’s existence. Why is this so? What else does GOD need to do to show Himself to us, to show that He is a very real and present God who desires a relationship with His creation?

Dangerous offender law reviewed Prosecutors say rulings in recent cases are significant developments following on legislative changes SPENCER ANDERSON NANAIMO DAILY NEWS
A recent B.C. Supreme Court ruling in Nanaimo may have larger legal ramifications for parts of the Criminal Code’s danger offender provisions. On Tuesday, Justice David Masuhara declared Kenneth Wayne Gillespie 68, a dangerous offender and sentenced him to an indeterminate prison sentence, following a conviction in 2012 for a sexual assault.
But Masuhara also ruled in favour of a defence application to find section 753.1.1 of the Criminal Code unconstitutional. That section states that criminals convicted of two prior serious personal injury offences could be automatically declared dangerous offenders following a third conviction for a similar offence. On Monday, Masuhara had also decided to follow a separate ruling fellow B.C. Supreme Court Justice Peter Voith to declare a
separate ‘general’ section of the dangerous offender law unconstitutional. The law, part of changes brought in by the Harper government in 2008, removes judicial discretion over who can be declared a dangerous offender, the ruling states. Crown lawyer Frank Dubenski, part of a team of prosecutors on the Gillespie file, said the rulings are significant developments. “The full impact of the constitutional rulings are still being

reviewed,” he said outside of court Tuesday. “But at the very least, it does cause concern (for prosecutors),” he said. Dubenski said there will be no short-term impacts from the rulings, noting that a ruling on the constitutionality of the general section of the law has been suspended for a year. “It may be that a court of appeal at some point will resolve this, or the Supreme Court of Canada, but all of that is very
premature at this point,” Dubenski said. The Department of Justice did not return a call for comment. Spencer.Anderson @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4255 » We want to hear from you. Send comments on this story to news@avtimes.net Letters must include daytime phone number and hometown.
LANTZVILLE
Residents slated to go to polls on Aug. 8
MLA says management of ICF needs a shakeup
C
alls for the Island Corridor Foundation to be restructured are being rebuffed by Judith Sayers, the foundation’s co-chairwoman. Doug Routley, MLA for Nanaimo-North Cowichan and rail critic for the NDP, said this week that the management of the ICF needs to be “shaken up” due to what he called a lack of accountability and transparency. Routley said the NDP wants an expert review committee to be established to create a business plan in a more open and accountable manner. Routley’s comments were made after the release of a report that concluded the $15 million that has been allocated for track improvements along the E&N corridor is probably not enough for the railway to operate in a safe manner. “The ICF needs a management model that is accountable and responsive to the stakeholders in the rail line,” Routley said. But Sayers said the ICF is an independent corporate body that “tries to keep its distance” from politics due to liability issues and to ensure “smoother operations.”
ROUTLEY
She said the ICF just had an AGM and there were no concerns raised over the management. The ICF is “doing fine” financially and has formed “great partnerships” to create the trail systems along the line, Sayers added. “There’s lots that we’re doing well and we have nothing to hide, but getting the trains back on the track is taking longer that we anticipated,” she said.

inally responsible for ramming his truck into other vehicles and taking police on a low-speed chase through downtown Victoria in June of 2014. Jason Moody was charged with using his truck as a weapon and dangerous driving after the incident last year. One of the vehicles he hit was a police cruiser. The truck was also driven toward a group of people outside a Victoria nightclub, but no one was hurt “The Crown didn’t dispute that it was a situation where the appropriate resolution was a finding that he was not criminally responsible,” Crown spokesperson Neil MacKenzie stated. The British Columbia Review Board will now look over the case. That group makes orders for individuals who have court decisions like Moody’s, in which they are found not criminally responsible in cout or unfit to stand trial due to a mental disorder. “They have a number of different dispositions that are available to them,” MacKenzie said. Those options include a stay in B.C.’s Forensic Psychiatric Hospital, or being released into the community under conditions.
The District of Lantzville has set a date for its byelection and residents will go to the polls on Aug. 8. The byelection will see the election to office of four councillors after Jennifer Millbank, Rod Negrave, Dave Scott and Graham Savage all resigned earlier this year. All four are eligible to run again if they so wish, although Millbank ruled herself out of doing so Monday. Current director of corporate administration Trudy Coates has been appointed as chief election officer, with the byelection estimated to cost the district up to $23,000. Advance polls will be open on July 29 and Aug. 5 at the district office and those who choose to vote on election day will do so at Costin Hall. The nomination period is June 23 to July 3. “The idea of going back to a full council is one all of the current council members want to see as soon as we can,” said Mayor Colin Haime. Since the first resignations of Millbank and Negrave at the end of April, Haime has stated that
“I continue to receive inquiries, but until the nominations open you are never sure.” Colin Haime, Lantzville Mayor
he has had numerous Lantzville residents approach him about running for office. “I continue to receive inquiries, but until the nominations open you are never sure,” said the mayor. “The biggest things in terms of being on council is the ability to absorb information and critical thinking with regards to local issues.” As of right now, only himself, Coun. Denise Haime and Coun. John Coulson remain on council from November’s municipal election. All three have ruled out resigning. Reasons for the resignations of the previous four who did so included claims of “disarray and dysfunction.” Millbank, Negrave, Scott and Savage all signed a letter prior to resigning which stated they ‘do not condone’ claims of inappropriate behaviour from ‘some members of council.’

Alberni District Secondary School’s Tynan Smith won a gold medal at the track and field B.C. championship last week. ADSS sent 17 athletes – the most ever – to the B.C. High School Provincial Championships in Langley June 6. Smith topped a list of 31 competitors to win the junior boys’ gold medal. He threw the javelin 47.49 metres, a personal best. Keith Watt, Rylee Mitchell, Coby Felsmen finished sixth for the senior boys’ 4x400-metre relay race. Their three-minute, 33.98-second finish was six seconds faster than their Island result. Mitchell also finished sixth in the senior boys’ javelin competition, throwing a distance of 48.59 metres. “We are so proud of how our group of athletes represented themselves, represented ADSS, and represented Port Alberni,” said coach Anna Jack.
Ashley Yaredic finished seventh out of 29 in the 300-metre hurdles and 12th out of 32 in the 80-metre hurdles. She finished with personal best times in each race. [SUBMITTED PHOTO]

ing property, building the course. Luckhurst also relocated the structure from River Road to its present location and we maintain it as a tsunami memory. Thinking of Port Alberni it’s easy passing it off as a fishing and lumber community, but the tsunami, while still a disturbing flashback, stubbornly lingers as part of its history. I’ve often wondered whether a tsunami theme park stretching from downtown to Clutesi Marina would not only be a fitting tribute in memory but also worthy of captivating tired travellers to stop in our area? A park outfitted in a boardwalk theme highlighted by well written graphic essays of turmoil and stunning tsunami pictures encouraging weary vacationers to stop in our community, giving us a chance to identify ourselves to the visiting public. The spinoffs would include influencing our understanding of the past and also supporting local businesses. If businesses flourish, so too will charities.

WOMEN’S WORLD CUP
NBA FINALS
Canada soccer star Christine Sinclair wipes off during the rain of a FIFA Women’s World Cup soccer match Thursday in Edmonton. [THE CANADIAN PRESS]
Canada, New Zealand play to a 0-0 draw NEIL DAVIDSON THE CANADIAN PRESS
EDMONTON — Canada settled for a 0-0 draw with New Zealand at the Women’s World Cup on Thursday, unable to turn its edge in possession and scoring chances into maximum points. The game had plenty of drama with a weather delay, Canadian goal called back and both sides hitting the crossbar, with the woodwork denying a New Zealand penalty kick. Inability to finish has been an issue for Canada, which needed a stoppage-time penalty kick from captain Christine Sinclair to dispatch China 1-0 in the tournament opener. But this time there was no last-minute happy ending for the home team although Sinclair had several chances to end the deadlock, including an 85th-minute shot that went wide. Still the single point all but assures Canada (1-0-1) of advancing to the second round, but the order of finish in Group A will go down to the wire. The point was only the second at the World Cup for New Zealand. The first came four years ago when John Herdman, now Canada’s coach, was at the Kiwi helm. Canadian giveaways at the back suggested there is work to do. Better teams will punish such mistakes. Herdman took off centre back Lauren Sesselmann in the 68th minute, inserting veteran Carmelina Moscato. Canada’s Kadeisha Buchanan showed her defensive class with a key tackle in the 65th minute, poking the ball away as a New Zealand player slashed towards goal. In the earlier game at Commonwealth Stadium, No. 16 China beat the 12th-ranked Netherlands 1-0 on a 91st-minute goal by Wang Lisi. China outshot the Dutch 27-8 (10-3 in shots on target) but were repeatedly denied by goalkeeper Sari Van Veenendaal. The results tightened up Group A, leaving Canada with four points, the Chinese and the Dutch on three and New Zealand on one. The Canadians leave Friday for Montreal where they will wrap up pool play Monday against the Dutch at Olympic Stadium. New Zealand faces China that same day in Winnipeg. Rain lashed the stadium immediately after the first game, leaving the Canadians and New Zealanders to warm up in a downpour. The rain continued, soaking the crowd of 35,544 and offering the players a different challenge after the heat of their opening matches. As thunder rumbled, the contest was halted in the fourth minute due to the
threat of lightning with German referee Bibiana Steinhaus ordering the players off the field. The PA announcer asked fans to take refuge under the stands. The game resumed 30 minutes later under sunshine after a warmup that saw Herdman and rival coach Tony Readings, Herdman’s former assistant when he coached the Kiwis, chatting on the sidelines. Herdman then kicked the ball around with some of his players Canada is ranked eighth in the world compared to No. 17 for New Zealand. New Zealand missed a glorious opportunity to go ahead via a 33rd-minute penalty kick when Amber Hearn beat goalie Erin McLeod but hit the crossbar. Fullback Allysha Chapman had been penalized for bodychecking Hannah Wilkinson to the ground in the box after a Buchanan giveaway. Sesselmann was erroneously given a yellow card on the play that was later corrected to Chapman. The Kiwis had the best early chance with McLeod forced to tip a Hearn header over the bar on a free kick in the 10th minute. New Zealand ’keeper Erin Nayler saved Jonelle Filigno’s straightforward header and then Sinclair’s more challenging left-footed shot in the 23rd minute as the Canadian captain pounced on a fine feed from Ashley Lawrence, who was celebrating her 20th birthday. A Melissa Tancredi goal off a free kick in the 45th minute was called off for offside. Replays showed the Canadian forward was offside when Filigno headed the ball to her. Canada had the bulk of the possession in the first half while New Zealand looked to threaten from set pieces. Nayler made a fine save to push a looping Sinclair shot over the crossbar in the 47th minute. The Canadian captain led by example again in the 58th minute, refusing to quit on a ball chase and winning a corner. Sophie Schmidt came close with a longrange free kick in the 71st minute that glanced the crossbar. Nayler stopped Tancredi minutes later. McLeod was brave in the final minutes, going down to deny a New Zealand attack. The result left Canada’s all-time tournament record at 5-11-4. The Football Ferns are now 0-9-2 record at the tournament. Herdman was at the New Zealand helm when it collected its first point at the tournament, a 2-2 draw with Mexico in 2011. Canada came into the contest riding a nine-match unbeaten streak and sporting a 6-1-3 all-time record against New Zealand.

Warriors win in Cleveland to pull even with Cavaliers TOM WITHERS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLEVELAND — No panic, no playing around. Just California cool. The Golden State Warriors simply did what they had to do, and now they’re going home in the same shape as when they left — tied in the NBA Finals. Stephen Curry and Andre Iguodala scored 22 points apiece and the Warriors, showing why they were the league’s best team all season, squared the finals at 2-2 on Thursday night with a 103-82 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. Game 5 is Sunday night at Oakland’s rambunctious Oracle Arena, where the teams split two overtime games last week. LeBron James scored 20 points with 12 rebounds and eight assists, but Cleveland’s megastar, who played with a cut on his head sustained in the first half, couldn’t do enough for the undermanned Cavaliers. Timofey Mozgov led Cleveland with 28 points and Matthew Dellavedova, again battling leg cramps after a hospital stay, had 10. The Warriors were in a must-win situation as none of the 32 teams who have fallen behind 3-1 in the finals have come back to win an NBA title. Golden State doesn’t have to worry about that, and now it’s possible the Warriors will get to play two more games on their home court if the series goes the distance. Game 6 is Tuesday night in Cleveland. Building off a strong fourth quarter in Game 3 that gave them confidence, the Warriors showed a sense of urgency
from the outset and took it to the Cavs. Iguodala, who played so well coming off the bench in the first three games, started and made coach Steve Kerr’s decision look brilliant. Known for his defence, Iguodala made four 3-pointers and Curry, the league MVP, made four as well, including a deep dagger in the fourth. With Cavs still hanging around, Curry hit a step-back 3 on the left side that stopped the Cavs cold and silenced a roaring crowd of 20,562. After his shot splashed through the net, Curry clenched both fists, pounded his chest and yelled, “C’mon!� The Warriors followed their leader and now they’re headed home brimming with confidence. Draymond Green added 17 points and Harrison Barnes had 14 for Golden State, which didn’t lose three straight games all season racking up 67 wins. Looking for a spark, Kerr decided to go “small� with his starting lineup, putting Iguodala at forward, moving Green to centre and benching struggling big man Andrew Bogut. Kerr initially said he wouldn’t make any changes, but went with a lineup that worked well late in Game 3, when the Warriors scored 36 points and trimmed a 20-point deficit to one. Kerr got the result he wanted, but only after the Warriors withstood an early flurry from the Cavs, who scored the game’s first seven points. Golden State’s ball movement was better, and shots that didn’t drop in the first three games were on the mark.

Mariners scoring problems continue THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLEVELAND — After watching Seattle score nine runs the previous night, Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon hoped his team had snapped out of its offensive funk. Nope. Seattle reverted to form Thursday, managing a season-low two hits in a 6-0 loss to the Cleveland Indians. “We didn’t do much offensively,” McClendon said in an understatement. Seattle has been held to three runs or fewer in 14 of its last 15 games, the first big league team to do that since Houston from Sept. 14-29, 2013, according to STATS. The Astros finished with 111 losses that season. The Mariners, the lowest-scoring team in the American League, had just three baserunners and lost for the ninth time in 12 games. Logan Morrison, whose career-best, 16-game hitting streak ended on an 0-for-3 afternoon, was hit by a pitch in the fourth. Nelson Cruz, who leads the American League with 18 home runs, missed his second straight game because of back spasms. McClendon thought his cleanup hitter could have played but didn’t want to take any chances. Shaun Marcum (3-1) retired his first nine batters and already led 5-0 before hitting Morrison on the back of his right leg leading off the fourth. Mark Trumbo grounded a single just out of the reach of Giovanny Urshela at third and shortstop Mike Aviles with one out in the fifth. Robinson Cano doubled to right-centre to lead off the seventh, but the last nine hitters made out. Cano is batting .214 (25 for 117) since May 9. “Marcum kept us off balance. He was doing a good job with the cutter and sinker,” McClendon said. “We hit some balls hard, but the wind was blowing. On a regular day, we probably would have three home runs.”

HOROSCOPE by Jacqueline Bigar
HAGAR THE HORRIBLE by Chris Browne
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might sense a haze rising around a difficult issue that you would prefer to let go of. You can walk away from it for now, but in several months the problem will re-emerge. Deal with a money matter, but curb a tendency to go overboard. Tonight: Your treat. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your mood brightens as the day grows older. Even if a certain goal or desire does not land in your lap today, you will be one step closer to reaching it. A roommate or family member will play a significant role in what happens. Tonight: Music, friends and Friday combine. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) After the high energy of the past few days, you could be taken aback by how much things have slowed down. Play it low-key with others. You are best on a oneon-one level with a loved one. Use care with someone you meet today! Tonight: Make your vanishing act special. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Don’t lose focus with your main objectives. You’ll want to clear out

as much as you can in order to enter the weekend with a smile. Your sense of direction plays a significant role in what occurs. A meeting could set the tone for the weekend. Tonight: Where the crowds are. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A partner seems to preoccupy your thoughts. You will want to take care of errands and some other matters that could be preventing you from being with this person. A loved one might be holding back, but don’t force this person’s hand. Tonight: A force to be dealt with. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might want to rethink a decision that could put you in a difficult situation if you are not careful. Detach. A partner might be sitting on his or her feelings, or perhaps he or she is not even aware of them yet. Relax. This, too, will pass. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Defer to a partner, as this person needs experience with seeing that his or her way is not the only way. You could feel pushed to the max THAT SCRAMBLED WORD GAME by David L.

if you are not careful. Learn the word “no,” and use it. Take the lead with a project if you must. Tonight: Confusion reigns. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be the recipient of a lot of attention. You might not be sure how to handle a difficult associate. Tap into your imagination, and everything will work out just fine. Reach out to a friend who seems a bit closed-off. Tonight: Follow someone else’s lead. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You will be happy to finally complete your to-do list. Your head might be in the clouds, and you could be thinking of doing more interesting things. Try to ground yourself. You could be accidentprone or speak too quickly. Tonight: Know when to call it a night. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Tap into your creativity to get your desk cleared. Don’t be too proud to ask for help if you need it. If you are single, you could meet someone from out of the blue who will mean a lot to you. If you are attached, stoke the fires of romance. Tonight: Get into the moment. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Anchor in at home. Work if you must, but be sure to spend some downtime just for you. You could have an unexpected visit or a party at your home very soon. Go along with the spontaneity. Tonight: Hang out at a favorite haunt close to home. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Return calls. You have a lot to do, and you’ll need some feedback. A boss or older friend could be very demanding. Be diplomatic. What do you have to lose? Listen to your inner voice with someone who tends to be over the top. Tonight: TGIF! Join friends. BORN TODAY Former U.S. President George H.W.

Eaton, Anita Louise It is with profound grief that we announce the sudden passing of Anita our wife, mother, grandmother at her home on May 30th, 2015. Left to mourn are her husband of 56 years Al, children Alana, Denise, Tim (Cheryl), Laine, grandchildren Asia, Chance, Shamus, Emma, brother Lorne (Sharon). Mom was born and raised in Port Alberni and spent her whole life here. An amazing cook and home maker nothing was more important than her family. She was young in spirit and always in style, she loved the outdoors, swimming, camping and travelling. Dad and her spent many wonderful summers at McToosh with family and friends. Their travels took them from Alaska to the Panama Canal. Mom had a lengthy career at School District 70 where she was one of the first female school bus drivers to pioneer the way for other women. She was good at her job and proud of her accomplishments. An avid sports fan she could be found at the sidelines cheering her grandchildren on at lacrosse and hockey games or in front of the TV rooting for the Canucks. Mom was a gracious, genuine, humble friend to all that knew her, quick to laugh and smile she loved a good joke. Mom faced her health challenges over the last few years with courage and dignity. She loved dogs and will be missed by her “Shylo�. It was Mom’s wish that no formal service be held. Cremation has taken place. A private gathering for family and friends will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers please make a donation to the Port Alberni SPCA. Until we meet again we will miss you every day.
Rest in Peace Mom. Love You.
Alwyn passed away peacefully in her sleep on Monday June 8th at West Coast General Hospital at the age of 90. Predeceased by her husband of 62 years, George Rigets, in Aug 2008, by her sister Doreen Wilson of Orlando, Florida by her son in law Jack (John) Johnston and her great grandson Dalen Vissia. Survived by her daughter Karen Johnston, her grandchildren, Stacie Johnston (Mark Jacobsen), Darcy Johnston, great granddaughter Chiara Vissia, brother Henry and family of Chilliwack BC. Alwyn was a hard worker all her life, both inside and outside the home. She began work at age 16 teaching music focusing on Violin and Piano. From there she started working at CIBC in Fernie; moved to Port Alberni in 1959 and worked at the Meyers Holland motors; then on to Katila Chev-Olds in the mid 60’s to work as an accountant, gaining the nickname “Sarge� where she would retire in 1981 and then moving to Penticton for the next 25 years until returning in Port Alberni in 2004. Alywn was always very generous and thoughtful. She would do her best to ensure that everyone was being fed. She enjoyed her garden and cherry orchard, spending many summers harvesting and canning. Many neighbour children would stop at her house for popcicles or candies and she also made the best apple pie ever. The family wishes to thank all the friends and family that came to visit over the past years to add some joy to Alwyn’s day; and especially her two loyal friends Anne Girbav and Audrey Teichman. We would also like to thank the Home and Community Care workers, the staff at WCGH for their wonderful care and kindness including Dr de Witt, Dr Feyi and Dr O’Dwyer. No service will be held by request. Flowers are gratefully declined.

Provincial funding is down
Clark cites email stating police launched investigation into firings
SCHOOLS, from Page 1
The district expects Alberni’s student population to decrease further in September and the years ahead, levelling off by 2020. Provincial funding, which is based on enrolment, is dropping by 1.5 per cent per year, said Cheetham. SD70 needs to find at least $500,000 in savings every year to align revenue with expenses, he noted. Cheetham said he isn’t sure yet which services will be affected by the 2015–16 spending reduction. “We haven’t decided exactly where,� he said. “It’ll be between our board office and our schools.� SD70 board chairwoman Pam Craig expects savings will result from amalgamat-
ing students into the remaining schools. “I am really impressed by how the planning has been going and students have been placed first,� said Craig. “It’s really quite exciting in many ways, although there’s still lots of work to be done.� Craig said the $200,000 in savings from moving elementary students out of Gill and Eighth Avenue is a “conservative estimate.� “We don’t really know until we put in a few months and see how the expenses come together,� she said. “I think we can make those savings and maybe even more. But it’s going to take some time to really get a clear picture.� Martin.Wissmath@avtimes.net
THE CANADIAN PRESS
NANAIMO — Premier Christy Clark is rebuffing Opposition accusations that her government obstructed a police investigation into the public firings of eight health ministry workers, but the New Democrats are levelling a coverup. Clark has cited an October 2013 email between the RCMP and finance ministry as evidence the Mounties had opened a file on the health ministry probe. The government announced serious allegations were being examined at a news conference in September 2012.
“The information that came out confirms that what the Opposition has been saying about this is absolutely not true,� Clark said at an unrelated news conference at a Nanaimo sawmill. “The RCMP confirmed that there is an open file, and in their letter this referred to an ’investigation.�’ She added that police specifically requested the government not release all details under Freedom of Information legislation, saying their work needed to be respected. The government heeded the RCMP’s wishes, she said, adding the new email demonstrates the Opposition has “really been making things up.�
