Exponential growth in log exports Raw timber shipments surpass lumber cut locally by 10 to one; elected officials push for an investigation ERIC PLUMMER ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

The demand for B.C. wood to supply Asia’s building industry has caused a dramatic increase in raw log exports from Port Alberni over the last decade – a volume that has far surpassed lumber manufactured in the community’s sawmills.

Since 2006 the amount of raw logs shipped from Port Alberni’s harbour has increased nearly tenfold, growing from the 82,272 to the 783,381 tonnes exported last year, according to figures provided by the Port Alberni Port Authority.

Meanwhile the amount of timber sent for manufacturing elsewhere has eclipsed the volume of exported lumber cut at local sawmills, which amounted to 76,854 tonnes last year. Ten years ago 84,994 tonnes of manufactured lumber was shipped from

MCRAE

Port Alberni, an amount that fell to as low as 18,107 tonnes in 2008 and peaked at 106,543 in 2011.

The trend has continued this year as 29 vessels have departed from the Port Alberni berths loaded with raw logs, while just five shipments of lumber left the harbour.

According to Ken McRae, who

sits on the province’s Timber Export Advisory Committee, local sawmills are unable to compete with foreign bids for logs, an international market dynamic that often means a Chinese customer will offer 40 per cent more for Vancouver Island timber than a company operating in the Valley.

“Every stick that goes out of Port Alberni, somebody can bid on that wood,” said McRae. In 2014 China was largest customer for raw logs that came through Port Alberni’s harbour, accounting for 63 per cent of the volume exported. Japan received 27 per cent of the logs, while South Korea shipped 10 percent.

The shipping of unmanufactured logs now dominates the Alberni Valley’s forestry exports, but the practice still accounts for a small portion of the wood industry elsewhere in B.C. In

2013 log shipments to China were valued at $400 million, compared to the $1.4 billion in lumber sent to the booming Asian country. In the same year $200 million worth of logs went to Japan, while four times that amount of lumber was exported.

After a succession of mill closures and layoffs that affected Port Alberni through the 1980s and 1990s, the forestry industry’s current dynamics have elected officials scratching their heads, wondering why more lumber can’t be cut here. This led to resolutions put forth by the City of Port Alberni and the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District to investigate the public policy issues behind raw log exports on Vancouver Island, an initiative that intends to gather information from private citizens, industry experts, governments and other organizations.

The hope is that this resolution will answer questions beyond a conclusion made by Macauley and Associates Consulting in its Review of the Port Alberni Forest Industry commissioned by the province in 2007.

“In the 1950’s, 60’s, and 70’s the forestry labour force in the Valley was one of the highest paid in the country. Today there are fewer trees to cut, reduced processing capacity and fewer jobs — and the trend is downward,” stated the consultant’s report.

“Our overall conclusion is that the forest industry on the coast has been declining for the past 20 years and that the impact of this decline in the Valley has been particularly marked because of the relative past prosperity of its forest industry and workers.”

Alberni’s ‘Extreme’ rating persists as fires grow KRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

The extremely dry conditions of the forests has caused the Coastal Fire Centre to issue an expansion of the campfire ban. Now in effect, the ban includes all areas in the centre’s jurisdiction.

The centre has seen an increase in the volume of forest fires to date as compared to last year. In the coastal region of the province, there have been 103 forest fires this year. The ten-year average is 51. Thirty-one of those were caused by lighting, while 72 were human-caused, with the ten-year averages of seven and 44 respectively.

Already on Vancouver Island, there have been 36 forest fires, said Marg Drysdale, fire information officer with the Coastal Fire Centre. The largest struck Boomerang Lake near Nanaimo on June 20 and burned 3.3 hectares.

“The past two or three seasons were slower, and we were fairly quiet on the coast, but that is not the case this year,” Drysdale said.

Drysdale said there has been multiple incidents on the Island but crews have been able to get to them quickly. She said the public’s assistance helps.

“We get calls from the public and can locate a fire quickly and get to it,” she said.

“So if anyone sees smoke or something they are not comfortable with, call it in.

The faster we can get to it, the better.”

Drysdale said the risk of lightening-caused fires is unpredictable.

AUTO PARADE

Military convoy makes first-ever West Coast stop A dozen 1940s vintage vehicles will caravan on summer tour, making stops in Port Alberni, Tofino and Ucluelet JACKIE CARMICHAEL WESTERLY NEWS

ERIC PLUMMER ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

Port Alberni had the hottest days on Vancouver Island last month, including a record-breaking peak at the end of June.

The average daily high in June was 26.5 Celsius, with the mercury rising to 36.6 C on June 27 – a record for that date since Environment Canada began compiling the Valley’s temperatures in 1917. Port Alberni’s average daily high was 26.5 C, which is 6 C more than normal temperatures experienced in the community over that month.

As is usually the case, these figures made Port Alberni the hottest part of the Island during the days last month, but overall temperatures were warmer in Comox, said Matt MacDonald, a meteorologist with Environment Canada.

This is due to the fact that Comox experienced higher mean temperatures, which are calculated by adding daily highs and lows then dividing

them by two.

Port Alberni’s mean in June was 17.9 C, while Comox had 18.5 C. “There was plenty of record-breaking heat in Port Alberni [last] month, but the overnight lows were pretty cool,” said MacDonald. “That really brings down the mean monthly temperature. You guys had a whole bunch of nights with lows of four and five degrees, whereas a lot of the other coastal sites that didn’t get as hot during the day also didn’t get as cool during the night.”

Alberni’s mean of 17.9 C was still significantly hotter than typical temperatures over the month, added MacDonald.

“That’s 3.3 degrees warmer than normal, which for a month is incredible,” he said.

The coolest location on Vancouver Island in June was Port Hardy, which had a daily mean of 13.3 C. Eric.Plummer@avtimes.net

Valley’s crew busy in north, campfire ban includes fireworks

FOREST FIRES, from Page 1

“When a lightning storm goes through, we may get multiple strikes,” she said. “We don’t know what to expect. It may or may not hit.”

Human-caused fires, on the other hand, are preventable and controllable, she said.

“That is why we have the (expanded campfire) prohibition in place,” she said. “That is indicative of how dry it is. The Island is in high and extreme fire danger ratings with no precipitation predicted, so any spark can catch.”

Drysdale said the Thunderbirds, a firefighting crew based

out of Port Alberni, have been busy since early in the season.

Deployed to any fire centre where they are needed most, the Thunderbirds spent much of the Spring in the north and are currently fighting a fire at Elaho.

The campfire ban will be in effect until further notice and includes the use of burning barrels, burning cages, fireworks, firecrackers, sky lanterns and binary exploding targets.

Yes, the 12 1940’s vintage vehicles will take on Sutton Pass and the twisting Kennedy Lake portion of Highway 4.

“We’ve gone through passes before – it may be a bit slow, because these are old trucks,” Hawthorne said.

The troop has been there and driven that – they drove the Alaska Highway to Fairbank and back for the 70th anniversary of that long road.

Hawthorne is a Canadian

Army “lifer,” and after a military career, he enjoys being part of the larger Military Vehicle Preservation Association, which has 10,000 members worldwide – the majority of them American.

“Some people collect stamps – I guess we collect trucks,” he said with a chuckle.

Good news for people who like vintage stuff, cars, or anything historical.

The convoy for the Western Command Military Vehicle Historical Society goes for a summer tour every year, culminating in a stop at the Arlington Air Show in Arlington, Wa. For the first time ever in its three-decade history, this year’s tour will include West Coast stops – at the Port Alberni Legion around noon on Sunday, July 5, at the Ucluelet ANAF on Sunday, July 5 around 4 p.m. or later in the afternoon, and at the Tofino Legion on Monday, July 6 at about noon.

Dalhousie Facebook scandal has vital lessons

I

t was bound to be highly critical and condemnatory.

An independent report this week into the now infamous Facebook group of male dental students at Dalhousie University in Halifax details exactly how the university permitted a culture of “sexism, misogyny, homophobia and racism.”

That’s a sobering picture for the university. But the more troubling part is that Dalhousie’s culture is far from isolated. “The reality at Dal is not different than any other institution,” University of Ottawa law professor Constance Backhouse, head of the team that compiled the report, noted this week.

In fact, the report should be required reading not only for university administrators, but

The report should be required reading not only for university administrators, but for managers in businesses and other institutions. for managers in businesses and other institutions.

The report provides new details about the Facebook debacle that make it even more disturbing than when it first came to light last December.

After enduring six months of critical news reports over the postings and the university’s follow-up, Dalhousie president Richard Florizone accepted the 100-page report’s findings when they were released on Monday.

He said he hopes to implement most of the 39 recommendations within two years.

Still, Florizone did not commit to fulfilling one of the most important recommendations: establishing an ombudsperson’s office similar to those that operate at many other universities.

That’s a mistake. An independent ombudsperson might have ensured that students complaining about harassment or sexism were not ostracized, and that the culture of sexism in the dental faculty was drawn to the attention of the university and acted on much earlier.

It might even have prevented the controversial Facebook postings from happening in the first place.

Among some of the report’s other recommendations that are well worth adopting: Improving the university’s complaint system.

Taking active steps “to identify and obtain information about potential or actual problems.”

Collaborating with other dental schools, professional licensing boards, and professional associations across Canada to address equity and sexual misconduct within the profession.

Ensuring that when the university adopts a restorative justice program, as it did with the Facebook group and some of the targeted female students, those who choose not to participate are provided with alternative courses of redress.

Indeed, one of the most distressing findings of Backhouse’s group deals with how the student who initiated the complaint about the Facebook group was treated by Dalhousie’s administration.

She and other female students who did not participate in the university’s recommended restorative justice program “said they had felt silenced and discouraged.”

And the student who first complained said the final restorative justice report made her feel “almost like a villain.”

The university, in short, ostracized the victims. It should reflect on that, and then get down to hiring an ombudsperson.

much higher than $300,000.

Whether that cost is really $7.5 million is a matter open to debate.

As yet, no one has suggested which airline would be flying in/ out of Port Alberni and whether or not that service would be daily (as is the case with KD Air and Orca Air from Qualicum).

If you wish to sign the sheet for a referendum on airport expansion, they’re now available at the regional district office or online.

We are no longer living in the 1950s when CBC was the only radio and TV network that had a monopoly of the TV/radio audience across the country.

Less than one third of Canadians today listen to and watch CBC. The network needs an annual licence or dedicated communication tax to sustain itself, not the backs of the Canadian taxpayer.

The arrogance of the intellectual elite is no different than the new breed of entitled who want what they want, but someone else can pay for it.

We have a very serious federal election in the fall so please focus on the real issues for our country.

Every party in power for the last decade or more has been cutting subsidies to the CBC, so please don’t hold the government hostage and use this for your platform to increase spending to the CBC. How about a lawn sign that says: “We Vote for Literacy”or “We Vote for Affordable Housing” or “We Vote for Feeding the Working Poor.”

» Your Letters // e-mail: letters@avtimes.net Keep Americans away from ‘Canadian dream’ The Canadian Dream is to have a house on a lake. That’s why you see so many Motor homes driving around. Everyone is searching for the dream.

I saw a motor home with a small pool installed on the roof. A family living in denial of the dream but they are trying really hard.

Motor homes get close but they have to share it with a bunch of other homes that are trying to get close, too. A shared Canadian Dream.

Everybody is drinking Lucky outside and all the barbecues are side by side. How do they get clean when the showers are so small?

Camping is really a bunch of people pretending to be homeless.

Then you have to drive back to the hot, crowded and noisy city.

Dream on. People with a house at the lake never dream about living in a city apartment and people living in an apartment in the city imagine living in a house at the lake.

And watch out. The Americans are coming. If you thought it was impossible to find a house on a lake now it’s a bout to get even

more impossibl-er. The USA is running out of water! And what will Canada do if America wants our water? Give it to them of course.

So you ask yourself if having a house on a lake is the Canadian Dream then what is the Canadian Nightmare? How about a Walmart on Sproat Lake.

Keep the Canadian Dream alive.

The time is now to confuse the Americans. Tell them, “Don’t move to Canada. It’s bumper to bumper Zambonies.”

“Vacationing in Canada in February– all you need are flip-flops and plenty of sun screen.” “And whatever you do . . . bring FOOD. Once the Caribou runs out . . . forget it.”

GOLF

BCHL

Mistakes need to be admitted every once in a while

Bulldogs add big forward

PAT LITTLE FOR THE TIMES

Sometimes, a person has to step up to the plate when wrong and admit error.

I’ve had plenty of practice in that area over time! For two weeks, Lynn Robbins scored great golf rounds on ladies’ nights, only to be ignored by the writer and prize presenter.

To be fair, it wasn’t intentional, but it doesn’t explain where my mind was when calculating the winners the past two weeks either.

To set the record straight, Lynn won both gross scores for the “B” division those weeks. Sorry Lynn. Lynn was 4 strokes better than Caroline Ness in the “B” division while Linda Smith and Maryann McConnell tied with 37’s in the “A” division, Smith won the countback.

Donna Cox caught everyone, including herself, off guard chipping in on No. 6 for the long awaited deuce jackpot. Nice short game Donna! Not to be outdone, Geri Shiels won the hidden hole capturing par on the first hole and the cash.

Rhonda Holcombe continues leading both the ladies’ point and ringer board competitions, each week increasing her leads.

Somebody was listening to my belly aching about the recent poor men’s night scores. Further, some answered. Dave Ackerman picked up 10 points posting a men’s night personal best 2 over par 32.

“Gone” John Sawyer wasn’t being denied either. Posting his two best scores recently, he snagged a four under par 26 for low net after a stunning 33, including an unsuspecting eagle chip in on hole four!

Preben Rasmussen scored low gross with a 1 over par 31, one better than Barry Ensor, while Rasmussen’s sidekick, Wayne Johnstone won the Hidden Hole.

The “Hammer”, Jason Pley convincingly continues leading the point totals over Sawyer.

Over the past eleven years we’ve owned Hollies, our own Jackie Little has won over ten British Columbia provincial golf titles.

Last week she added yet another, winning her fifth B.C. Women’s Senior Amateurs in Cowichan.

Congratulations Jackie and thanks again for putting Port Alberni on the map. She will once again represent our city at the Canadians this August in Sarnia, Ontario.

Where ever Jackie and I have travelled and visited, often there’ve been opportunities to take advantage of cultural tours.

Tours identifying and reflecting aspects of a communities’ economic life blood.

Good examples might be the cigar plantations of Cuba, the Dominican Republic Rum distilleries, Hawaiian Pineapple plantations or the CNN studios in Atlanta.

We had a customer last week, an employee of Port Alberni’s paper mill. In our conversation, he discussed how one of the paper machines was producing product for “Playboy” magazine, while its sibling was creating paper for the “Bible!” That seemed extremely interesting!

My curious mind began wondering whether our paper mill advertizes and/or conducts tours of our Port Alberni facility to visitors through our Chamber and other avenues. If so, I’m guilty for not noticing its presence.

If not, I wonder why? Admittedly paper may appear a bland subject, never the less, being an industrial component of our city and a vital community cog, paper is regardless, essential to everyday life. I think an interesting thought for tourist business would be a prominent sign. A sign that might begin with the question: “Do you read Playboy?’ The followup sentence might continue...”It all begins here...in Port Alberni!

Book your tour and see more?”

Ontario Hockey League’s Adam Donnelly will play in Port Alberni this season ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

For the second time in as many weeks, the Alberni Valley Bulldogs have acquired an impact player from a Mississauga-area junior team. This time around, the Bulldogs have negotiated the release of Adam Donnelly from the Mississauga Steelheads of the OHL. Donnelly, who played for Lake Forest Academy in the Midwest Prep Hockey League, originally committed to the Bulldogs for the 2014/15 season but decided to play closer to home for family reasons. Donnelly, a 6’2, 200lbs, big and physical power-forward, will be a great addition for the Bulldogs with his strong work ethic, character, and leadership.

The Alberni Valley Bulldogs are very excited to welcome Adam, again, to the Bulldogs family and look forward to a big season this year.

Brett Stewart traded Bulldogs defenceman Brett Stewart has been traded to the Salmon Arm Silverbacks for future considerations.

Stewart played in 95 regular season games with the Bulldogs and scored 15 goals and added 31 assists spanning two seasons.

Stewart added three assists in 12 playoff games as well.

Schedule released The Bulldogs also recently released their schedule for the 2015-16 season, which sees them open Sept. 12 on the road against the Cowichan Valley Capitals.

Federer gets knocked out at Wimbledon HOWARD FENDRICH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON — On the final point of the first set of his latest Wimbledon disappointment, Rafael Nadal swung his mighty, lefty forehand — and whiffed, accidentally whacking his right leg with his racket.

It was a painful, embarrassing mistake, symbolic of the sort of day this was.

During five trips to the All England Club from 2006-11, Nadal reached the final every time. In his most recent four appearances, though, Nadal has exited early against an unheralded, unaccomplished and, most importantly, unafraid opponent ranked 100th or worse. On Thursday, Nadal lost 7-5, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 in the second round to Dustin Brown, who needed to qualify just to enter the main draw.

“It’s not the end,” Nadal said. “(It’s) a sad moment for me ... but life continues. My career, too.”

Toni Nadal, Rafael’s uncle and coach, summed up the Centre Court match this way: “He played really bad. Bad shots.

Very bad with his forehand.”

All true. But give credit to Brown and his varied, risky and entertaining brand of tennis, a mix of old-school serve-and-volleying, drop shots, drop volleys and go-for-it returns.

“I had nothing to lose. If I lose 6-1, 6-2, 6-3, everyone says ’Bravo, Rafa,”’ Brown said.

The 30-year-old Brown was born in Germany to a Jamaican father — whose face is tattooed on Brown’s stomach — and German mother. They moved to Jamaica when he was 12 and returned to Europe about a decade ago. Around that time, his parents bought him an RV so he could drive from tournament to tournament.

Who could have imagined this sort of triumph back then? Or, frankly, even now?

After all, Brown is ranked 102nd, entered Thursday with a 6-11 record in 2015 and has never been past the third round at a major.

Nadal, meanwhile, is a former No. 1 and the owner of 14 major titles, tied with Pete Sampras for second-most behind Roger Federer’s 17.

Winnipeg Blue Bomber Johnny Adams tries to stop Hamilton Tiger-Cat Terrence Toliver from hauling in the touchdown pass CFL action in Winnipeg Thursday.

Ti-Cats crush Blue Bombers in Winnipeg JUDY OWEN THE CANADIAN PRESS

WINNIPEG — Zach Collaros passed for 354 yards and two touchdowns as the Hamilton Tiger-Cats scored six majors in a 52-26 rout of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Thursday.

Drew Willy, Winnipeg’s starting quarterback, left the field with a suspected head injury.

Willy was injured with 20 seconds remaining in the first quarter when he took a helmet-to-helmet hit from Ticats defensive end Adrian Tracy.

Willy appeared to be knocked out as medical staff looked at him. After a couple minutes on the turf, he walked off the field to the locker-room and was replaced by Brian Brohm.

He’s the fifth quarterback to be injured in the first two weeks of the CFL season, joining Montreal’s Jonathan Crompton and Dan LeFevour, Edmonton’s Mike Reilly and Saskatchewan veteran Darian Durant on the sidelines.

Hamilton (1-1) had a 17-7 lead after the first quarter and 38-7 at halftime. The team announced on Twitter that the 38 points was the most first-half points for a road team in 23 years.

Collaros completed 26-of-33 pass attempts, including a 35-yard toss to Bakari Grant and a three-yard pass to Terrence Toliver.

The Ticats got a rushing touchdown off a one-yarder by backup quarterback Jeff Matthews, while Brandon Banks returned a punt 67 yards for a major. Emanuel Davis took an interception 35 yards for a touchdown and Brandon Stewart picked off Brohm and ran 38 yards into the end zone.

Hamilton kicker Justin Medlock was good on field goals from 19, 32 and 38 yards and made all his converts. Willy was 3-of-6 for 48 yards. Brohm finished 16-of-28 for 146 yards and two interceptions. He scored a touchdown on a 16-yard run in front of 27,279 fans at the Bombers home opener at Investors Group Field. Winnipeg (1-1) scored points off a 13-yard run by Paris Cotton and a four-yarder by Cameron Marshall.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You have a lot to say, and you want others to hear you. Try incorporating more originality into the conversation. A friend could feel a bit awkward about a project you both are involved in.

Don’t let the gawkiness interfere with the bond. Tonight: Let your imagination rule.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Listen to news, and be ready to make a decision that might cause some tension. This matter could revolve around the community or your work. Stay centered. Use caution when spending money on your home or on a family member. Tonight: Let the party begin!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You have the ability to see beyond the obvious. As a result, when you give a presentation, everyone focuses on what you are saying.

Use caution with spending, and explain in a clear way why you might need to say “no.” Tonight: Take off and try out a new spot.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Deal with a loved one on a oneon-one level. Your points will be

well-received, and you can have a discussion that you probably had been avoiding. You might have felt vulnerable as of late, but you will determine that you are on friendly turf. Tonight: Let the good times roll.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You add punch to everyone’s day.

You know what you want, but getting it could take some talent. You deal with very stubborn people who are determined to be right.

Zero in on a long-term desire that you have wanted to make a reality. Tonight: Where you friends are.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You intuitively know what to do.

Pace yourself and recognize that you are not a superhero. Don’t push yourself too hard. Communication revolves around an authority figure or some other person you often defer to. Tonight: Know when to say “enough is enough.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Take news with a grain of salt.

You are happiest at home, not having to deal with any uproar.

might delight you more than you ever could have imagined. Add that quality of lightness to your other bonds. Tonight: Christen the weekend well.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be in the midst of a major change involving a matter you have avoided dealing with.

This adjustment is likely to occur in the near future. Focus on a domestic issue. A partner will support you in whatever you want to do. Tonight: Togetherness counts.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Others have a lot to say, so listen closely, and you can meet them halfway. Your logic might be offbeat and a bit unrealistic. No matter what you do, you can’t seem to get everyone to listen to your opinions. Stay upbeat, regardless of the outcome. Tonight: Get into weekend mode.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Use caution with spending. You usually are cautious, but someone knows how to goad you into spending more. Take your time, and check out an item you have wanted to buy more carefully. You probably are not getting a good deal. Tonight: Have fun!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Choose not to see a situation as a problem. You might be surprised by how different your perspective could be if you just relax. Listen to what someone else has to share.

This person has strong feelings, so make sure you’re ready for that type of interaction. Tonight: Ever playful.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Take your time when making a decision. You might not know which way to go. Your sense of humor emerges when dealing with a child. Consider taking some time off. You need a change of scenery, and you’ll feel much better if you go for a drive. Tonight: Be with a favorite person.

Helen Gladys Ladislawa Slomnicki Helen was born on June 18, 1928, passed away peacefully in her sleep, June 29, 2015 at the Nanaimo General Hospital.

Helen was born in Poland in 1928, and lived in Hines Creek Alberta as a child where she had many fond memories and recalled many stories. Helen loved playing with her favourite pet pig and her horse Roots. Helen and her family moved to Vancouver for several years where she helped take care of her brothers and attended school. The Groholski family moved to Port Alberni where Helen met her husband Stan, and together they enjoyed a wonderful life and raised their family. Helen is predeceased by her husband Stan Slomnicki, her parents Stan and Josefa Groholski, and brothers John and Victor Groholski. Helen is survived by her beloved children, Vince Slomnicki (Suzanne) Penticton; Angela Slomnicki (Nanaimo); Christine Clark (Jim) Port Alberni; John Slomnicki (Kim) Beaumont, Alberta; grandchildren Trent Snikkers (Quinn) Nanaimo, Carly Clark (Port Alberni), Jayme Clark (Port Alberni), and Amber Slomnicki (Beaumont, Alberta); great grandchildren: Wyatt, Nya, and Ewan Snikkers (Nanaimo); her brother Bob Groholski (Kelowna), sister-in-law Genia Groholski Edmonton, Alberta; nieces Miki, Jasia, Angie (Kelowna), niece, Nicole (Calgary), and nephew, Matthew Groholski (Edmonton). Helen was known for her beautiful “diva like� singing voice and her witty humour. She was a hard working and dedicated mother who worked tirelessly to care for her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and still watches over them. At Stanford Place,her last residence, she made many friends who have fond memories of Helen’s stories and jokes. Her generosity was felt by all she knew, she loved to look her best and loved shopping, socializing and making friends. Helen was very witty and funny, and she had such a beautiful smile.

Helen worked at the MacMillan Bloedel Alberni Plywood Plant when she was younger and later as a working mother until the plant closed in the 1980’s. She again made many friends who have fond memories of Helen’s stories and jokes. Helen also worked at Zellers store in Port Alberni for a few years.

She was a hard worker, assertive, strong in her resolve, and she was kind, had a wonderful sense of humour and a gift of making friends and acquaintances. She was a dedicated long distance swimmer and enjoyed basketball and baseball in her youth. Stan and Helen where known well by their community, they loved to go for long walks through their neighborhood chatting with the other walkers. They attended Notre Dame Catholic Church, where they met many long-time friends. The Echo swimming pool played a very big part of the activities for Helen and her family. Helen will be dearly and deeply missed by all she knew and loved. A public viewing will be held on Monday, July 6, 2015, 7-8pm at Chapel of Memories at 4005-6th ave. Port Alberni. A Funeral Service will be held on Tuesday, July 7, 2015 at 10 am at the Notre Dame Parish, 4731 Burke street P.A.. Burial service to follow at the Saint Peter’s Cemetery on Compton Rd., and a reception will follow in the Notre Dame church hall.

Rudy Johanson, born May 14th 1926 in Sask., passed away on June 8th, 2015 just weeks after his 89th birthday following a courageous second battle with cancer.

Predeceased by his first wife Avis in 2007, his daughter Sandy in 2005, and his second wife Evelyn Johanson in 2013, Rudy leaves behind his daughter, Diane (Brian), grandchildren Carey & Ashley, Brad (Bev), great-granddaughters Tayrn & Darian, Brian (Samantha). Also survived by his step-children, Michelle (Glen), grandchildren Amy, Donelle & Brandon, step-daughter Louise, grandchildren, Chris (Megan) and great granddaughter Zoe, and Roger.

Rudy also leaves behind his very dear friend Renate and many dear friends and family.

Rudy came to Port Alberni after leaving his family homestead in Saskatchewan when he was in his early 20’s. He quickly found work at APD, soon after met and married his first wife Avis and continued to work until he retired in the 90’s. During that time, he and Avis travelled the world, and spent time with their family. Both were active in the Elks Lodge, and Rudy was one of the last members spanning over 40 years, when it closed the local chapter in 2014.

Rudy was also an avid golfer for many years, a member of C.O.P.S and the Sunshine Club, as well as a member of the Southside Church.

After losing his first wife, he married Evelyn in 2009, and they had a wonderful time travelling, meeting with friends and family, the Sunshine Club and the church. Sadly, Evelyn passed in 2013, and Rudy bravely continued to live each day with great courage and faith, and always with a smile.

He was a devoted husband, a loving father and grandfather, a loving friend to all and will be sadly missed.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Southside Community Church of the Nazarene at 11:30am on Saturday, July 4th, 2015. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to a charity of your choice in Rudy’s memory.

Special thanks to Dr. Depape, Home Support & especially Ty Watson House for their incredible kindness and support during Rudy’s last months, he really enjoyed his time there.

It is with great sadness that we announce the loss of our Mother, Grandmother and Sister, Melanie Mary Martin (Bourk) on June 28, 2015. Melanie was born on September 4, 1941 in Midnight Lake, Saskatchewan.

Melanie’s childhood evolved with adventuring the farmlands of Saskatchewan, where her love of life and animals on the farm began. At a very young age, Melanie began a career in hairdressing and soon followed the beginning of her family life in the North West Territories, where she would have loved to return to. It is from here that Melanie developed the strength, courage, and willpower that she has shown to her children, grandchildren and all of those whom have touched her life. A move out of the North allowed Melanie to pursue another passion of helping others in the water – lifeguarding. This included instructing and coaching swim club which all five children were a part of. This journey took her through many homes she built throughout BC, where she remained great friendships with all of those she met. Melanie later returned to her passion of caring for her animals on her farm in Cranbrook, BC. Melanie then decided to retire and moved to Calgary, AB. Melanie’s extraordinary talents included papertoling, knitting, crocheting, sewing, cooking, gardening, golfing and making ice cream from her own cow’s milk for her grandchildren. Melanie enjoyed time listening to hymns and good ole classical western music.

Melanie was predeceased by her Daughter, Mona Marie Colclough, and husband Douglas Robert Martin. Melanie leaves behind three loving sons Tyrone, Trent (Melissa), Troy (Paulette), daughter Tara, sister Bonnie Smith, grandchildren Tyson, Brandon, Courtney, Ellis, Foster, Brittney, Devon, Tana, Baillie, Brook, Mikaela, numerous cousins, and her beloved family at Pavilion Of Hope.

A Memorial Service will be held in Melanie’s honor on Thursday, July 2nd, 2015 at 2 p.m. at McInnis and Holloway, 12281 – 40th Street SE, Calgary, AB. Reception to follow, details to be provided.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Pavilion of Hope 232 Willow Park Drive SE Calgary, AB T2J 0K5

Summer camps I’d like to see

S

chool is out for summer and for harried parents who would rather not have their children glued to a screen of one sort or another, summer camps are a wonderful idea! Over the coming months, between the need for young people to keep busy and the imagination of many different organizations, there dozens of options. But I think there are still a few niches to be filled.

Here are some summer camps I’d like to see: Elf Camp: Come on, Orlando Bloom must have gone somewhere to learn all the tricks of being an elf for the Lord of the Rings movies. How about a camp where you can learn archery, delicate hair braiding, balletic moves across rough terrain and, of course, how to speak and write high-Elvin?

Adult Realities Camp: Why waste time learning how to heave a shot put at track camp

Curtis Korver Faith Matters when you could be preparing for adult life? I’d like younger people to learn how to navigate insurance bills, compare mortgages, work the internet to find a good price on a used car, and manage a checking/savings account without incurring fees and master basic home repairs.

Nobody taught me how to do all that, which strikes me now as ridiculous. We should be starting kids early on this stuff!

How about a zero carbon footprint camp – learn how to compost, how to raise goats and make cheese, how to make beef jerky, put up preserves for the winter and basically live off the grid.

Here’s a wild one that might benefit most of us: a forgiveness camp. Or maybe a learn-

to-value-a-whole-person-notjust-their-physical-appearance camp? If we are going that far, why not knock down all the barriers and open up adult summer camps? What if we could send politicians to a humble-service camp? That would be wonderful, provided that the other side of the lake hosted a respect-authority camp for all the rest of us. How about a think-first-talk-later camp? Week two of that camp could teach us to withhold our opinions until we have all the information.

I’m going to stop here because some of these camps are hitting too close to home; I feel like I should be enrolling in a few of them.

“Dear God, even though I’m long past summer camp age, please send me people and opportunities to become the person you created me to be.” » Curtis Korver is the pastor of Alberni Valley Christian Reformed Church.
