Rebrand survey says: waterfront Alberni’s promotional solution in attractions down by the shore, according to city marketing study “These [ideas] are still being analyzed but the branding direction would seem to be water-oriented.”
ERIC PLUMMER ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
T
he answer to Port Alberni’s promotional dilemma appears to be the in the water, according to an extensive study being conducted by the city to find the optimal approach to marketing the community. A rebranding survey launched by the city this summer collected 943 local responses on the most popular attractions in the Alberni Valley and what the community needs to lure investment. Most of the top attractions residents would take visitors to are by the water, including the Harbour Quay, Victoria Quay, Sproat Lake and Stamp Falls. The area’s hiking trails and the McLean Mill National Historic Site were also cited among survey participants.
Pat Deakin, Port Alberni economic development manager
The Valley’s greatest assets are the Alberni Inlet, the area’s lakes and rivers, as well as the many opportunities to fish and hike, according to the survey. “Respondents provided many ideas about what Port Alberni should be known for as setting it apart from every other
place on Vancouver Island,” stated an interim report on the rebranding initiative by the city’s economic development manager Pat Deakin. “These are still being analyzed but the branding direction would seem to be water-oriented.” This investigation into the best approach to market the Valley is a departure from a previous branding exercise the community undertook in 2007. As a joint project from the
city, the chamber of commerce and Alberni Valley Tourism, Redbird Communications from Victoria was contracted for $30,000. The result was the “Bear Tracks and Lumber Jacks” campaign, a play on Alberni’s forestry roots that has failed to stick with many businesses since. Deakin’s report identifies hurdles the city is working to overcome as it seeks the best approach to promote a brand — notably the community’s reputation as a mill town opposed to change, and a weak business climate that brings few people to Port Alberni for work opportunities. “Relatively speaking, our entrepreneurial culture is not strong,” stated the report. “Unfortunately many people from outside the community have a negative image of Port
Alberni, or no awareness of us at all. “This initiative aims to address that.” Twenty per cent of the Valley’s 25,000 residents are seniors — more than most communities in British Columbia — making younger people the target demographic for promotional efforts. Attracting interest among “millennials” born between 1980 and 2000 is crucial for Alberni’s future, states the rebranding report. Unlike the baby boomer generation, many of these younger Canadians grew up with video games and the Internet, have less disposable income due to student loans and other debt, » We want to hear from you.

Uptown hopes to benefit from Central Park KRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
Port Alberni will likely soon see a new park development at the expense of two local residents. Stacey and Franco Gaiga, owners of Ocean Canal Clubhouse, are scheduled to present to council tonight their plans for the vacant lot at 3009 Third Avenue. They hope to reach an agreement with the city to provide municipal services. The Gaigas purchased the lot next to Angus Street to construct Central Park for public use. By entering into a partnership with the city, they would agree to the park’s construction, equipment and maintenance at their expense. In return, the couple request the city to provide maintenance services such as sweeping and snow removal, planting, and garbage pick-up, as well as paying for utility costs and a share of flower bulbs. An outline of the park includes the installation of a fountain, lighting, benches, picnic tables and garbage cans. The Gaigas also request a per-

missive tax exemption. Director of Finance Cathy Rothwell believes this may be the first time a public park has been established by private citizens. “As far as I know, but I have only been here five years, and this is the first time since I have been here,” Rothwell said. She believes the green space will help add to the positive growth of the area. “Absolutely,” she said. “It will be a nice addition in improving the uptown,” Rothwell said. If approved by council, the agreement will run for an initial five years, beginning October 2015. » We want to hear from you. Send comments on this story to letters@avtimes.net.

RECOVERY
Volunteers ease cancer patient chores After her diagnosis, friends help Alberni woman connect with company for free housekeeping help KRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
W
hen Carrie Nahorney was diagnosed with cancer in late March, her first thoughts were overwhelming. As a wife and mother of two, she said the past few months have been a surreal journey that has put life into perspective. Nahorney’s longtime friend, Marnie Wynans, reacted to the diagnosis by offering support. “I wanted to do something for her and wondered how I could help,” Wynans said. As someone who is passionate about using environmentally-friendly products in her home and around her family, Wynans discovered a new opportunity to launch a program for female cancer survivors in Port Alberni. “I found out about an American company that hooks up housekeepers who use chemical-free products with women going through chemotherapy,” Wynans said. “They donate free housekeeping for them through their treatment.” Wynans contacted another friend, Shauna Bray, who runs Wet Coast Cleaning Services, and the two quickly got the ball rolling. “Chemical-free cleaning is important to me and I want these homes that are cleaned to be free of anything harmful,” Wynans said. “Some people going through chemo are sensi-

tive to smells and some of these chemicals are cancer-causing already.” Bray said something like this does not exist in Port Alberni and is an opportunity to give back to the community. “I have lived here all my life and have kids, so this is a good way to feel a part of the community and help out,” Bray said. When Wynans approached Nahorney to be the first recipi-
ent of the service, Nahorney said it was hard to accept help. “It has been a humbling experience from the beginning,” she said. “So many people have stepped forward in so many ways. I was a little uncomfortable at first but they know as moms that I still want to be a mom and now this is something I don’t have to do.” Last week the three got together to work through the details.
Bray will provide four months of house cleaning once a month at no cost. They want to do it to help ease the load for Nahorney, and other women, while she undergoes treatment. “It was a really neat meeting, but it was so emotional,” Wynans said. “This will be one less thing she has to worry about. Wynans understands the treatment results in fatigue for many
cancer patients and hopes this service can help women put their energy into recovery. “We don’t want women to have to spend their energy cleaning, especially at a time when so many people want to visit,” Wynans said. Beccie Brennan works with Bray and was the second cleaner to volunteer with the team. They will both use their own products, but as a representative, Wynans has also offered to donate Norwex supplies to other housekeepers who sign up to help. Wynans said she is thrilled with the response but hopes it will grow. The program follows similar guidelines as the American company and is limited to women, but they would like to eventually expand. “I think it is because cleaning jobs usually land on our shoulders,” Wynans said. “One of the things we think of is how we are going to keep it clean and be the mom of the family. If it takes off, we decided among ourselves to offer it to everyone.” To be a part of the program professional cleaners, as well as cancer patients, have to register with Bray, who is coordinating volunteers. Bray can be reached at 250-723-1087 or visit www. cleaningforareason.org for more information. Kristi.Dobson@avtimes.net

Province lets Dog Mountain wildfire burn out ERIC PLUMMER ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
When it comes to managing forest fires, sometimes the best tactic is to let it burn, says the province’s wildfire authorities. This is the approach currently being taken to the Dog Mountain incident, a forest fire that quickly spread across a peninsula on Sproat Lake last month to encompass 450 hectares. One of the 21 cabins on Dog Mountain was destroyed and an evacuation order remains in effect for eight other properties. With the fire contained since mid July the Wildfire Management Branch has moved away from aggressive suppression techniques, allowing forest fuels to burn off as crews regularly

check the site. This is the safest approach to take as wildfire authorities work to protect personnel, property and forest, says the province.
“Much of the Dog Mountain fire is on steep, treacherous, unstable slopes, with a heavy forest understory,” stated B.C.’s Ministry of Forests in an email to the Times. “This offers a serious risk of injury to crews undertaking mop-up activities.” The province’s handling of Dog Mountain has not sat well with many Alberni Valley residents – particularly those living on Sproat Lake who watch the fire continue to burn. In a letter to Forestry Minister Steve Thomson, Jim Sears questions the initial approach to the fire and Dog Mountain’s continued burning. The Sproat Lake resident has worked in the coastal forestry industry for over 40 years, includ-

ing time on fire suppression crews. “This fire will continue to burn over the summer and will have a negative effect on the lake and its values for many years,” wrote Sears. “Local stakeholders should be involved with such decisions and the ministry should rethink the idea of leaving such areas to burn.” Donna MacPherson, an information officer with the Coastal Fire Centre, said that trees would need to be cut down to eliminate Dog Mountain’s hot spots, but this could cause more damage than the wildfire itself. “Allowing the fire to burn out the understory and the fire-susceptible trees will decrease the
potential fire intensity of future fires,” she said. “Douglas fir trees are fairly resistant to wildfire, and a significant portion of the trees are likely to survive.” Although it has subsided in recent weeks, Dog Mountain remains by far the largest wildfire on Vancouver Island. Two other fires continue to burn by Great Central Lake as the result of a lightning storm last Tuesday, measuring 1.8 and 2.4 hectares each according to the Wildfire Management Branch’s reports on Friday. Since Wednesday another small 1.8-hectare fire has burned south of the Cowichan Valley near Shawnigan Lake. Eric.Plummer@avtimes.net

Not much Thunder in airport approval
A
lberni’s new airport expansion apparently passed public approval last Wednesday. Or at least the expansion project details managed to slip passed the public eye by avoiding at least 10 per cent of the Alberni Valley electorate’s opposition. The Alternate Approval Process — which should really be called an alternate disapproval process — wrapped up after about a month, just in time for Thunder in the Valley, a major summer event at the airport. In fact only about 300 people opposed the Alberni Valley
Regional Airport Expansion Project by signing the necessary petition, far short of the over 2,000 names needed — 10 per cent of the electorate — to force an actual referendum. So democracy is served: a “quicker, cheaper alternative” to actual voting, as a regional district manager described the alternate [dis] approval process. The airport expansion project includes three upgrades for the local facility: a new global positioning system (GPS), an extended runway and new lighting. The runway expansion could be the priciest, and the Alber-
ni-Clayoquot Regional District needed to pass public approval in order to allow bylaws for a financial loan from the Municipal Finance Authority – up to $6 million. Although the ACRD still hopes to fund most or all of the expansion through provincial and federal government grants, the possibility for a hefty 30-year loan remains, with Alberni Valley taxpayers on the hook. A $200,000 homeowner could see tax increases of almost 17 bucks a year. That might not seem like much, but it’s the principle that counts. Seeing how many spectators
turned out for Thunder in the Valley on the weekend, Alberni’s biggest summer spectacle, it might seem surprising that more voices didn’t speak up about the fact that the ACRD’s plan may force the drag racing event to move elsewhere. The Alberni Valley Drag Racing Association hasn’t mentioned any alternative locations, but given the thousands of dollars invested into the current location, it would only seem fair for the expansion project to accommodate such an important tourism draw. It might not be the biggest drag
racing competition in the province, but it’s the biggest on the Island. That’s something to consider at a time when we’re looking for a marketing brand that sets Alberni apart from other Island communities. Last year’s Thunder in the Valley brought out 3,000 spectators. Now that’s a vote we can count on.
The glib and total blabber from the Coastal Fire Center “information” officers that this is how they deal with fires throughout the province “allowing the fuel to burn within the perimeter” means let the entire Dog Mountain peninsula smolder and burn until it runs out of combustible materials or Mother Nature puts it out. Only thanks to Mother Nature do we have anything left there. Well Dog Mountain was a jewel in the middle of one of, if not, the best lake in the province. It is surrounded by very highly taxed residences and recreational properties. Those taxes run into the millions each year. These taxpayers should deserve better service and less destruction of their environment, air shed and viewscape when so little would have been necessary to be done to extinguish the balance of these smoke-emitting hot spots without endangering fire crews. For the money being spent monitoring the perimeter (translation: drive around in a boat once a day or fly over in a helicopter) these could easily be extinguished and more undercover and root structure could be saved. Not to mention the smoke, haze and stink still being emitted. For those who are surprised how much green there still is in half the trees on Dog Mountain, you
will be more surprised over the next few months and years as most of the remaining trees die off and turn into bleached and dangerous snags. The process of letting the undercover burn in many areas of our province burns off needles and grass. On Dog Mountain, with minimal soils on bare rock, the roots of all the trees are just under the moss and surface materials. Most of the trees will have suffered fatal root damage in all of those burned out – and still burning out – areas within “the perimeter” or “containment area.” If I was one of those valuable recreational property owners that are either in the smoke and burnt wood stink zone, or still and maybe permanently evacuated from my summer getaway, I would be seeking retribution and answers as to how this is being perpetuated by a seriously flawed policy and program. As a life-long lake resident and taxpayer, I am still awaiting answers from the Coastal Fire Center, the minister and anyone who can give me a plausible reason how this got away in the first place and why this carries on today a month after the fact.

Thirty minutes of federal debate chaos was enough How many of you watched the federal debate Thursday night? I did, at least for about 30 minutes...and that was enough! Who would you vote for? For me, if I had the chance, not one of them, but voting is a right to do so. How do you have a debate with one talking and three others flapping their gums so it creates nothing but chaos? Can you really understand what each one really is saying? I think not. It’s not likely May will be prime minister, I don’t envision her running Canada in any sense. Clearly Mulcair is no Jack Layton, who I think would have made a good leader, although I still do not envision Mulcair leading Canada either, in any sense. Trudeau, as the ads have said, is just not ready (maybe the next election) and does not have the poise – to me he talks way to fast, he’s always in a hurry to get his point out. He’s not ready to run Canada...yet. Harper, much more poised, much more polite, took the time to allow other speakers to talk, did interrupt, but nothing like the other candidates, constantly trying to talk over him. Do I want Harper, no! What I do
think, no Prime Minister should be allowed to run more than two terms. If the party wins again, do like the States, two terms and you’re gone. Is one government any better than the other? Of course not, but of course someone has to lead. But when the election is over, damn well work with whoever it is to agree on policies and get them passed. As soon as the election is over, the attack campaigns start again. Wouldn’t it be nice to hear federal leaders working together for the cause...CANADA! Instead of trying to figure out how to win the next election in four years. Probably not going to happen, right? Bottom line is, we are not anywhere near as bad as other countries, sometimes. Be careful who you wish for, each will help some but not others. They will just make a different group happy. Milt Levins Port Alberni

DRAG RACING
Rain delays Thunder in the Valley Crowds turn out to see drag racers in one-day event ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
Racers got off the starting line a day late for the 15th annual Thunder in the Valley. Wet weather forced the Alberni Valley Drag Racing Association to delay the event until Sunday, when the track dried up and skies cleared. Racers competed in a single-day event and spectators packed the bleachers at the Alberni Valley Regional Airport. Among the fastest cars were the Doorslammer class and an exhibition by a nitromethane-powered dragster. Races were scheduled to continue all day Sunday, starting with qualifiers in the morning, ending with eliminations in the afternoon and evening. See the Alberni Valley Times this week for the final results and event summary. Phil Ruskowski of Victoria brought his nitromethane-powered dragster to the airport strip, burning rubber and blowing eardrums at last weekend’s Thunder in the Valley. [MARTIN WISSMATH, TIMES]

Raiders get burned by Okanagan Sun
Crows tearing up Hollies’ greens
SCOTT MCKENZIE NANAIMO DAILY NEWS
The Vancouver Island Raiders allowed just a single touchdown on Saturday against the Okanagan Sun, owners of the B.C. Football Conference’s most potent offence. But they did allow too many field goals and failed to gain any traction on offence — even with quarterback Liam O’Brien back in the lineup — and fell to 2-1 on the season with a 27-3 home loss to the Sun, who remain undefeated. “We’ve got a long way to go,” said Raiders head coach Jerome Erdman after the game. “The thing i take from this is, we were competitive.” Coming into the game, the Sun had outscored its opponents 142-7 but faced their first real test of the year against the Raiders Saturday at Nanaimo’s Caledonia Park. Their lone touchdown came in the third quarter, and they spread five field goals out throughout the game while their defence never allowed the Raiders into the red zone in the final three quarters. The Raiders’ three points came on a first-quarter field goal from Matias Bueno. “That happens with a young team,” Erdman said. “It’s not an excuse, but we’ve got to use it as a learning experience and move forward.”
O’Brien, last year’s All-Canadian quarterback, missed last week’s game against the Westshore Rebels due to an injury suffered in Week 1 and returned to the field without any practice time to play the Sun. He was sacked 10 times and completed 14 of 23 pass attempts for 93 yards, along with an interception. “I don’t think he was as sharp as he has been in the past,” Erdman said of O’Brien, “but a lot of that credit goes to Okanagan and what they were doing. “It wasn’t just Liam, they’re a very good football team and very good defensively. He’s been out a couple weeks and hasn’t practised, so he’s a little bit rusty, but he’ll be OK.” After his team lost times to the Sun last season in four tries, third-year Raiders middle linebacker Dexter Shea said he was happy with what the V.I. defence did against the Sun. “We made a lot of good plays,” said Shea, who had three tackles and a sack. “I think we kept fighting throughout the whole game which, I guess in a loss is the most important thing we can do.” The Raiders defence was also given a big boost by the performance of outside linebacker Isaiah Stevens, who made his first appearance of the season during Saturday’s loss.

n Ladies Night, Laurelee Edgell came from out of nowhere shooting a personal best score of 38, blasting the field. Maryann McConnell took second, a distant three shots back. Meanwhile Caroline Ness won low net with a two under par 28 net score, one better than Marion Dick. Both Edgell and Dick took the money for their respective birdie and par on hole No. 5. R. Anderson and Associate’s Geri Shiels took over the point total, while Caroline Ness quietly slipped into second place. The “secret” hole wasn’t won, while Rhonda Holcombe leads the Ringer board. Keep up those great scores ladies! The Men’s Night story was Westland Insurance’s Rick Sexton who came, played, conquered and suddenly vanished (LOL). Sexton was second low gross, winning in a countback, behind Ron Lange’s one over par 31. Sexton also picked up several KPs and almost took low net which was snapped up by Jean Monette, who was one stroke better than Fred Lee. Thanks to the Howard Johnson Hotel for the complimentry drinks and to Phil Edgell for making it to age 64! The Hidden Hole was elusive again and this week its possible the pot might ecclipse $500.00!

Patrick Little Rediscovering golf at Hollies Pley Roofing’s Jason Pley, has control of the points lead for the fifth week in a row! The golf movie “Caddyshack” has been labelled a classic. Certainly the cast of genius comic stars seems beyond debate. Especially actor Bill Murray who plays the enigmatic and distorted assistant groundsman, obsessively driven to rid the golf course of a pesky rodent. When first watching the movie, I was moved to laugh, but today, here in Port Albeni and cast in a not unlike situation, I’m almost moved to tears. Tears of resignation in submitting to persistent crows ravaging our greens at this time of year. In the movie, Murray resorts to archaic, barbaric and bizarre methods solving his golf course problem. And then there’s me, identified as not unlike the same pathetic character, with similar methods and ways to salvage our greens from daily ruin at the beaks of the black barbarians. You see, I’m an amateur environmentalist. That means I’m not trained in the science, but attempt practicing that which is supposed to be right for the planet’s future. I won’t kill
a crow, but a glimpse daily into life’s dark side is unavoidably accompanied by entertaining thoughts of harm to the vicious critters. The crows peck the greens gorging themselves on grub worms subsisting beneath the grassy surface. When finished, the greens are a mess and it’s hard maintaining customers, much less a positive frame of mind. This year, I found a natural product which attracts the worms to the surface, allowing the crows to feed without creating havoc. But then, after finishing their meal, they continue digging, which I’ve never seen before. This particular season, the crows appear with more voracious appetites and can’t devour enough. Previously, the birds would feed in the morning and we wouldn’t see them again until next day. Now though, they continue feasting all day. In “Caddyshack,” Bill Murray dawns military dress and camouflage face paint, eventually dynamiting the adversary. As said, I’ll never hurt a crow, but if a reader passing our golf course should see me in army fatigues and war paint in covert fashion, perhaps they’ll more closely understand the macabre mind mechanism within a tormented greenskeeper. » Patrick Little is an avid golfer, a lifetime member of the Canadian PGA,

Ticats down Bombers at Tim Hortons Field DAN RALPH THE CANADIAN PRESS
HAMILTON — The Winnipeg Blue Bombers bring out the best in Emanuel Davis. Davis returned two interceptions for touchdowns Sunday afternoon as the Hamilton TigerCats beat Winnipeg 38-8 to remain unbeaten at Tim Hortons Field. Davis has returned three interceptions for TDs this season and all have come against the Bombers. Davis had a 35-yard interception return TD in Hamilton’s 52-26 road win over Winnipeg on July 2. What’s more, his two TD performance came on his 26th birthday but the four-year veteran shouldn’t expect anything special from Ticats receiver Bakari Grant. “He already got his presents,� Grant said, referring to Davis’s two TDs. “I’ll take that for a birthday gift.� Hamilton head coach/GM Kent Austin deadpanned that maybe he should consider trying to cash in on Davis’s brilliance. “I told him after the game I have to take him to Vegas,� Austin said with a chuckle. “And it was on his birthday which was really awesome. “I’m really proud of that young man.� Davis downplayed his accomplishment, saying he was the recipient of a Hamilton pass rush that made life miserable for Winnipeg quarterbacks, registering seven sacks. Defensive lineman Justin Hickman led the way with three. “On both I pretty much saw the same thing,� Davis said.

HOROSCOPE by Jacqueline Bigar ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might want to tone down your approach so that you receive more of what you want. Others no longer seem as responsive as they had been. Actions and good planning make all the difference. Be willing to demonstrate the power of your ideas. Tonight: Head home early. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You have the ability to get past a problem that others don’t see. Be as direct as possible with a family member, especially if you feel that his or her idea is out of whack. Be more direct and caring. An idea that seems unattainable really isn’t. Give it time. Tonight: Happy at home. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Be more direct when dealing with a loved one. You might see a situation from a more materialistic and demanding point of view than he or she does. Financial matters need to be kept in perspective. If you want to succeed, know when to say “no.” Tonight: Look at the budget. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You will want to see a situation

Tonight: Beam in more of what you want. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Jupiter, the planet of luck, spends its last 24 hours in your sign. Take advantage of what happens. If a certain matter appears to be out of control, know that the time has come to get it under control. How you do that depends on the situation. Tonight: Go for what you want. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be taken aback by what comes up. A friend means well, yet he or she could create a certain amount of confusion. Be realistic about what is possible, but be willing to revisit this situation in a few days or weeks. Tonight: Meet up with a close friend. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Take a risk today instead of postponing it. Timing is with you. Pace yourself, but complete as much as you possibly

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your imagination seems to awaken. Try to direct this energy toward a matter involving travel, a legal matter or a need to educate yourself on a particular topic. You could be taken aback by a problem that emerges. Know that the answer lies within. Tonight: All smiles. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Deferring to others allows more give-and-take. Reach out for someone who might be intimidated by you. You likely will want to avoid a boss who has been demanding a lot from you. You also might not be in the mood to hear his or her opinions. Tonight: Opt for closeness. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be in a situation where you don’t have your customary control. As a result, you might be feeling as if there is little you can do. Allow others to take the reins, and become more of an observer. Be more forthright in your dealings. Tonight: Play it cool. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You could be more on top of a personal matter than you realize. You might be somewhat exhausted from trying to touch base with a friend or loved one. Listen to the feedback you are getting, especially from someone close to you. Tonight: Allow your creativity flourish. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Allow more creativity to emerge. You often have many ideas, but you usually do not discuss them. Trust those around you to be open-minded and receptive of your thoughts. Consider your options with greater care. Tonight: Allow yourself to enjoy the moment. BORN TODAY Actor Antonio Banderas (1960), novelist Suzanne Collins (1962), fashion designer Betsey Johnson (1942)

His name is etched in the Sun Yat-Sen Memorium Garden in Vancouver as an original member of the Chinese Battalion. He was an avid salt water fisherman with his boats the Dragon King (1-4) who continued to fish until he was 91. Dad lived a full life and visited his daughter Lorinne in Australia many memorable times, the Hong family in New Zealand in recent years and many friends all over the world. He was predeceased by his wife Helen in 1993 and a son Wesley in 1954 and leaves behind his seven children: Terry, Bonita, Diana (Jim), Tony, Corey, Lorinne and Jeffrey, 13 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren.

Blue Jays win eighth straight game MIKE FITZPATRICK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Everyone already knew the Toronto Blue Jays could really hit. Turns out, it was a trio of splendid pitching performances that closed the gap in the AL East. Josh Donaldson and Jose Bautista launched long home runs, and the Blue Jays earned their eighth straight victory by beating the New York Yankees 2-0 on Sunday to complete a three-game sweep that tightened the division race. “Everything seems more in reach,� Bautista said. “It seems more attainable.� Marco Estrada tossed three-hit ball into the seventh inning against the suddenly slumping Yankees, outpitching Masahiro Tanaka during Toronto’s second consecutive shutout. Boosted by some big acquisitions before the July 31 trade deadline, the streaking Blue Jays have won 11 of 12 to pull within 1 1-2 games of the first-place Yankees. A week ago, New York was up by six. “Incredible,� Estrada said. “It’s been a great ride. We’ve had a tremendous team this whole year and obviously just got a little better. Adding a few pieces helped a lot. Our confidence is pretty high and we’re all enjoying the run.� In a series that featured the top two offences in the majors, New York mustered only one run and went scoreless over the final 26 innings. Not since May 1999 against the Angels had the Yankees been blanked in two straight — that stretch of 2,665 games between consecutive shutouts was the longest

in major league history, the team said in citing research by the Elias Sports Bureau. It was the first time since May 2003 that Toronto swept New York in a series of at least three games. “We definitely took a punch this weekend, and good teams punch back,� Yankees slugger Alex Rod-
riguez said. “For us, it’s all about how we respond that matters.� On an aggravating afternoon for the Yankees, Brett Gardner slammed down his helmet with two hands after grounding out with a runner on second to end the third inning. Moments later, he was standing in left field when
he got hit in the back of the head by Bautista’s home run ball after a 15-year-old fan heaved it back onto the field. “I just wore it. Didn’t even turn around,� Gardner said. “I’ve got a hard head, so it’s all good.� Estrada (10-6) kept New York’s dangerous lineup off balance all day, masterfully mixing his 77 mph changeup with a 90 mph fastball and slow curve. He gave up three singles and three walks, striking out six. The right-hander was lifted after 89 pitches with two on in the seventh. LaTroy Hawkins got out of the inning, Aaron Sanchez pitched a hitless eighth and Roberto Osuna worked a perfect ninth for his 10th save. “This ballpark hasn’t been real kind to us in the past,� Toronto manager John Gibbons said. “It’s been a tough spot for us. We’re just on a nice little roll right now.� Donaldson homered into the Yankees’ bullpen in right-centre on the seventh pitch from Tanaka (8-5), who yielded three hits in six innings. He was relieved after 80 pitches. Bautista connected in the fourth, a mammoth drive that struck the facing of the second deck in left field. Donaldson also went deep in the first inning Friday night, when Bautista’s homer in the 10th sent Toronto to a 2-1 victory in the series opener. “This isn’t going to be comfortable the rest of the way,� Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira said. “We have to fight for every win and that’s what we expect every single game going forward.�

Federal leaders return to campaign Senator Mike Duffy’s trial looms large as Harper kicks off Week 2 with homegrown anti-terror effort THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — With the shadow of the Mike Duffy trial looming larger than ever, Stephen Harper kicked off Week 2 of the federal election campaign with a headline-grabbing effort to crack down on homegrown terror threats. Harper, keen to show off his bona fides as the experienced incumbent, promised to make it a crime for Canadians to travel
NEWS IN BRIEF Canadian Press ◆ THURMONT, MD.
Active grenade found inside a McDonald’s An active military-grade hand grenade was uncovered Saturday afternoon in the parking lot outside a Maryland McDonald’s. The Frederick News-Post reports a bomb technician with the Office of the State Marshal secured and removed the active grenade. Dale Ednock, the bomb technician, told the News-Post the grenade found lodged about a foot under the pavement was there for quite some time. Ednock said it was likely a relic of the military base located in Thurmont, about 65 miles northwest of Baltimore, several decades ago. Ednock said if the grenade had gone off, anyone in the vicinity could have suffered severe injuries, or death. The grenade was found about 1 p.m. by a landscaping crew.
◆ NEW YORK
Two baby skunks found in NYC subway station There are plenty of smells in New York City’s subways. But skunks? The New York Post said Saturday that police and a transit worker rescued two baby skunks that had strayed into a Bronx subway station last weekend. They were taken to a veterinarian’s office to be examined. Police Transit Bureau Chief Joseph Fox tweeted plaudits to the officers and worker for helping the animals and, in his words, “getting far closer than I would have.”
to specific countries or regions where they could fight alongside groups officially identified by the federal government as terrorist organizations. He says a re-elected Conservative government would establish “declared areas” — regions of the world where terrorist groups like the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant hold control and use their base to recruit and train followers. Forgoing casual campaign garb
for the more prime ministerial suit and tie, Harper made his announcement at a news conference in Ottawa, flanked by Canadian flags. He said national security agencies would track Canadians who travel to those areas; those who return would be required to prove they were in the region for humanitarian reasons, or as a journalist covering the conflict. Similar laws exist in Australia, which has designated parts of
Iraq and Syria as no-travel zones. New Democrat leader Tom Mulcair dismissed Harper’s announcement as a campaign gimmick, suggesting it would have very little real effect on curbing terror. “There’s very little evidence to show that this is going to have any concrete effect, I don’t know of too many flights between Toronto and the war zones, most of them are going through other countries so it won’t make a big
difference practically speaking,” Mulcair told reporters in Vancouver after attending an NDP rally. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau called Harper’s announcement a diversion designed to take the attention of Canadians away from his government’s failed economic plan. But, he added, Harper would have to answer a lot more questions than he did Sunday about any policy that proposes to take rights away from people.
FISHERIES
A net and two canoes: First Nations fisherman launches reef-net revival TAMSYN BURGMANN THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — Almost a century after fishing practices unique to First Nations in British Columbia’s Salish Sea were outlawed, members paddled canoes back to traditional waters and dropped their full-sized reef net. It was the start of a longterm mission to revitalize the once-celebrated technique for gathering food and bonding community for the Strait Salish people. The web-like net — about the length of a city bus — was suspended between two canoes in an endeavour by a University of Victoria doctoral student who envisions bringing his nation’s fishing style “back to life.” “In traditional times, it was really the backbone of our society,” said Nick Claxton, who successfully defended his thesis on the practice in late July before an academic panel and 100 of his community members. “And that’s how I want it to be in the future. Where we can all be reef-net fishermen.” Claxton, 42, initially set out to document the history of reef-net fishing and investigate ways to restore the practice. His research found that Strait Salish people relied on the method until 1916, when the colonial government called it a “fish trap” and

brought in a ban. “What is ironic is right around that time they allowed J. H. Todd and Sons to fish with their fish trap. It was at the time when the industrial-commercial fisheries started to develop,” he said. “What I think they wanted
was just access to our fishing locations.” Aboriginals were discriminated against despite being signatories to the 1852 Douglas Treaty, which formally guaranteed their fisheries, Claxton said. Some First Nations maintained
the fishery on the American side of the Salish Sea, but Washington state officials stopped them in the 1950s or 1960s, said Claxton. “That was really the last time we fished with reef nets,” said Claxton.

Judge sentences man to marriage with woman A Texas man who pleaded guilty to assaulting his girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend has been sentenced to life — in matrimony. KLTV-TV reports 21-year-old Josten Bundy pleaded guilty on July 2 to assault with bodily injury for a February fistfight with the ex-boyfriend of 19-year-old Elizabeth Jaynes. Bundy tells the Tyler television station that the man “had been saying disrespectful things” about Jaynes, so he challenged him to a fight and punched him twice in the jaw.
ELECTION 2015
Kinder Morgan pulls pipeline advertising LAURA KANE THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — Kinder Morgan will pull advertising for its proposed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion during the federal election campaign, after a British Columbia New Democrat seeking re-election complained about a flurry of ads in local newspapers.
Kennedy Stewart sent a letter to Canada’s elections commissioner earlier this week. He said if the company wants to promote a position on an election issue, it must register with Elections Canada as a third-party advertiser subject to spending limits. “I have a very tough fight against my opponent in my
riding,” said Stewart, who is running in a Vancouver-area riding. “The last thing I need is multi-national companies also advertising during the election. “Let’s just have a fair playing field.” Stewart said he has not heard back from the commissioner, Yves Cote, but he called the office on Friday to confirm staff
had received the letter and he was told the deputy commissioner was looking into it. A spokeswoman for the Trans Mountain expansion said election officials had not contacted the company, but it has decided not to run advertising — in any format or community — until after the Oct. 19 federal election vote.
TECHNOLOGY
Island company provides robots to go where humans can’t CARA MCKENNA THE CANADIAN PRESS
What started as a fun project for two techies on Vancouver Island more than 25 years ago has now become an industry leader in robotic crawlers. Inuktun Services Ltd.’s remotely operated vehicles, or ROVs, have combed through the radioactive wreckage of a tsunami-hit nuclear plant in Japan, assisted in search and rescue efforts after the Sept. 11 terror attacks, and are being used by the U.S. military. But despite its international success, the Nanaimo-based company remains little known at home. That’s largely because most of its products are sold outside of Canada, said company CEO Colin Dobell. “We’re not really well-known locally and that’s OK,” he said in a phone interview from the company’s head office. “We’re more export than anything . . . oil and gas and nuclear

would be our two biggest markets. But we get into a lot of other kind of oddball stuff too that we never even imagined our equipment would be used for.” Inuktun’s agile robots are used to access confined spaces and hazardous environments that
humans can’t. Their clients range from Pacific Gas and Electric Co., which used crawlers to inspect inside a natural gas pipe after a fatal pipeline explosion in California five years ago, to Starbucks, which bought cameras to inspect
coffee beans on a conveyor. Earlier this year, Inuktun announced it was sending a custom snakelike crawler to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant to assess the damage from 2011’s massive earthquake and tsunami. After the 9/11 attacks “we sent robotic equipment to Ground Zero to do search and rescue and search and recovery efforts,” Dobell said. “A few years ago, we sold a whole bunch of equipment to the U.S. military to actually use in cross-border tunnel investigation in U.S.-Mexico borders and also overseas in the Middle East.” But Dobell said the most compelling stuff is top secret. The company is kept quiet by bigname clients that don’t want the public to know what they’re using the technology for. When Inuktun began in B.C. in 1989, its owners had no idea they would be signing non-disclosure agreements with some of the world’s most prominent
organizations. Dobell said that part materialized “largely by accident,” after Inuktun’s co-founders Terry Knight and Al Robinson — both now retired — started the company “as kind of a fun project to take them into retirement.” “When they started they were building these little swimming ROVs,” he said. “The idea being you would sit on your boat, throw it over the edge and watch the crabs or chase fish or pick up the keys you dropped.” Dobell, who came on board in 1996, said the product was too expensive for a recreational market, but got the attention of the nuclear industry, and spawned the creation of different robotic systems to meet customer demand over the years. The company no longer does underwater work — it sold that technology off to a company in the U.S. — and is now focusing on confined space crawlers, cameras and inspection equipment.

Golden eagle rescued and recovering Sylvia Campbell Wild N Free
T
he North Island Wildlife Recovery Centre admitted an adult male Golden Eagle that was found unable to fly in the local area. He was rescued by people out horseback riding and actually was transported back to the their truck while being held in a blanket on the back of a horse. The eagle was very weak but has gained considerable energy after a couple of good feedings. He has damaged talons on one foot so will be watched closely. The Golden Eagle inhabits a wide range of latitudes throughout the Northern Hemisphere and uses a variety of habitats ranging from arctic to desert. Rare in the eastern half of North America, it is most common in the West near open spaces that provide hunting habitat and often near cliffs that supply nesting sites. Northern breeders migrate thousands of kilometres to wintering grounds; southern pairs tend to be resident year-round. As one of North America’s largest predatory birds, this eagle has been prominent in human lore and culture, inspiring awe, reverence, and sometimes fear and

hatred. Unfortunately humans kill Golden Eagles both intentionally and accidentally by trapping, shooting, poisoning, and electrocution; at the same
time, urbanization, agricultural development, and wildfires encroach on this eagle’s traditional shrub-steppe foraging habitat.
HEALTH
The Golden Eagle has astonishing speed and manoeuvrability for its size and uses a wide variety of hunting techniques to capture prey, including
soaring, still-hunting from a perch, and low contouring flight. Although capable of killing large prey such as cranes, wild ungulates, and domestic livestock, this species subsists primarily on rabbits, hares, ground squirrels, and prairie dogs. Most do not acquire a nesting territory until they are at least four years old, after they have moulted into definitive plumage. Once an individual establishes a territory, it tends to stay there, defending an area of approximately 20–30 square kilometres from conspecifics. A territory may contain up to 14 nests, which a pair maintains and repairs as part of their courtship. The nesting season is prolonged, extending more than six months from the time eggs are laid until young reach independence. A typical Golden Eagle raises an average of only one young per year and up to 15 young over its lifetime. Pairs commonly refrain from laying eggs in some years, particularly when prey is scarce. The number of young that Golden Eagles produce each year depends on a combination of weather and prey conditions. » Sylvia Campbell works at the North Island Wildlife Centre.

THROUGH YOUR LENS
Supreme court beheaded by boneheaded politicians H
ow can you learn to become a hypocrite? It’s easy. Take a course in Politics 101, then get elected to Parliament. This will make it easy to postpone matters that demand instant attention. There’s no better example of hypocrisy than Parliament’s move to delay implementation of the Supreme Court’s decision on Assisted Death until after the election. The Harper government has added insult to injury by stacking the consultation panel with those opposed to assisted death. It’s like putting the fox in charge of the hens, an inhumane, despicable act for those crying out for help to end their suffering. In February, The Supreme Court of Canada ruled that assisted death should be an option for those grievously and irremediably ill, and who wished to end their suffering with the help of a physician. The justices gave the government a year to implement the law. It’s taken the government five months just to form the panel. And there’s no doubt opponents of assisted death will make the guidelines unwieldy and restrictive. The wisdom of The Supreme Court will end up being beheaded by boneheaded politicians. Past surveys have shown that the majority of Canadians fear a lingering painful death devoid of dignity. This entire issue boils down to personal choice for those who wish it. So far no political party has grasped the fact that supporting assisted dying could help them win an election. Dying with Dignity Canada (DWDC) says, “We receive calls from people who are desperately ill, know it’s a matter of time before they die, and ask if

there’s a legal way to end their life peacefully.” These people are suffering from multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, paralysis from a stroke or motor vehicle accident and other terminal illnesses. Studies from U.S. states and other countries that allow assisted death show that relatively few with terminal illness eventually ask for it. Rather, it is comforting for them just to know it is available. It’s regrettable that only 12 per cent of callers in the DWDC study said they had the support of their family doctor. Or that when assisted death was mentioned, the doctor did not listen and changed the subject. Today, the Criminal Code states that neither DWDC, nor this journalist, can advise people on how to end their lives. But it is heart breaking when callers ask how they can obtain drugs for this purpose and none are available without a physician’s prescription. What doctor is going to give one and go to jail? Other desperate people even ask how they can obtain the “exit bag” that’s placed over their head and connected to a helium tank. It’s hard to imagine such a terminal scene for one’s last minutes with family members. I’ve stressed for years that those wanting an assisted death should have the right to form their own committee. Mine would include my wife,
children and my doctor who are aware of my wishes. I’d also be pleased to add a veterinarian who would treat me the same way he would ease the suffering of a beloved dog. This political hypocrisy could end by drowning politicians with mail. Years ago I delivered 40,000 letters to Ottawa which helped to legalize heroin for terminal cancer patients. Believe me, politicians fear adverse mail. If you agree with assisted death, send a one-sentence letter (better than an e-mail, and postage free) to Stephen Harper, 24 Sussex Drive, Ottawa, Ont., demanding action on this legislation. Or send an e-mail to stephen.harper@parl.gc.ca This column was sent to Harper, Trudeau and Mulcair but all I’ve received were the usual sitting-on-the fence replies. Those who oppose assisted death have every right to end their lives in whatever way they wish. But they do not have the right to impose their moral, religious or ethical views on others. The law is the law. I’d appreciate your opinion. If you wish to support Dying with Dignity, donations can be sent to 55 Eglinton Ave East, Suite 802, Toronto, Ont.

Rossland slows to 30km/h speed limit for neighbourhoods
T
he City of Rossland has done something rare in our motor vehicle centric world where many drivers think that faster is better. Effective on Tuesday, July 21, 2015 the speed on municipal streets has been lowered to 30 kilometres per hour. Hmm you say, that’s the same speed as a school zone. Well, not in Rossland, the speed there has
Tim Schewe Behind the Wheel been lowered too. It’s 15 km/h in pick up areas and 20 km/h elsewhere. Interesting!
Reducing speeds on residential streets from 50 km/h to 30 km/h results in a significant reduction in injury and fatality when a vehicle collides with a pedestrian. Reducing speeds on residential streets results in a more livable neighbourhood. Everyone will be more likely to play, walk or bike because they feel less threatened by drivers.
Do you have 30 seconds to spare? The city’s newsletter contrasts travel times on one of the streets before and after the change. It will cost drivers half a minute. It will be interesting to revisit this decision in a years’ time to see if the citizens of Rossland keep this as their residential speed and to ask ICBC about
its effect on collision rates. If it turns out to be successful perhaps this is the example you can use to help convince your municipality to follow suit. » Tim Schewe is a retired RCMP constable with many years of traffic enforcement experience.
