Port authority fails to meet conditions for development
MARTIN WISSMATH ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
City council voted to cancel a lease to the port authority for the former Alberni Plywood mill site next to Canal Beach at Monday’s regular meeting. The brownfield site has been in the city’s possession for 25 years with no development. The city entered a lease agreement with the Port Alberni Port Authority on July 1, 2014 that stipulated at least $500,000 of industrial development would begin within one year from the lease date. Council delayed the cancellation for a few extra months to see whether anything would materialize over the summer. Seeing as that didn’t happen, the motion to cancel the lease this week carried unanimously, with a 90-day notice of termination beginning on Sept. 15. A petition started by Port Alberni resident Sandra Gentleman to cancel the lease started on the website change.org, gathering over 300 names in support of public space on the waterfront. “I support a waterfront green space beside Canal Beach on cityowned land,” reads the petition’s statement. The goal is to reach 500 names in support. PAPA had leased the property, which had only been used to sort logs in the Alberni Inlet for decades, for $1,200 a month. The port authority planned to sublease the lots to Canadian Alberni Engineering for expanded shipping operations that could have created 100 additional jobs. Plans fell through when CAE lost a bid to retrofit a Canadian Coast Guard hovercraft, according to Coun. Jack McLeman. Mayor Mike Ruttan said the city hasn’t decided what to do with the land and will bring it back up for discussion at a council meeting later this month.

Arrest announced in homicide First-degree murder charge laid for Kristy Morrey death in 2006 ERIC PLUMMER ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
An arrest has been made for the murder of Kristy Morrey, nine years after the 28-year-old was found dead in her Beaver Creek home. Larry Darling has been charged with first degree murder for Morrey’s death, an incident that has been a mystery haunting the community since the Alberni Valley resident was discovered on Aug. 20, 2006. Darling, 51, was taken into police custody Friday in Surrey “without incident,” said Insp. Chuck McDonald of the RCMP’s E Division Serious Crime Unit at a Tuesday press conference in Port Alberni. The Abbotsford resident is scheduled to appear in Port Alberni Laws Courts today for the charge. As an ex-boyfriend of four years who had split with Morrey one month before her death, Darling was previously a suspect in the murder

case, but no charges were laid until last week. McDonald said more information about the cold case investigation will come forward in court proceedings, but he admitted recent developments in forensic evidence were a factor as police worked to piece together the case. “We have the last piece of a puzzle that has taken nine
years to solve,” said McDonald, adding that the Serious Crime Unit joined the investigation two years ago. “A homicide investigation is complicated, with the amount to time that elapses sometimes new forensic tools become available to us and new information became available to us as the investigation continued.” After nine years of uncertainty, the recent arrest offers some relief for Morrey’s loved ones, said cousin Jaclyn Koning. Before tearful friends and relatives sitting in the front row, Koning gave a statement on behalf of the family at the press conference. “Today we stand before you strong knowing that someone has been arrested. Our initial reaction was shock, relief and with a heavy heart betrayal,” she said. “It has been nine long years since Kristy was taken from us, and not a day goes by that we don’t think about it.” A number of other cold cases

still hang over the Port Alberni community, but the recent development does provide some closure for the nine-year mystery of Morrey’s death, said Insp. Mac Richards of the city’s detachment. “From a community perspective it’s a positive step,” he said. “The community’s been hurting for a long time.” Morrey’s body was found in bed under a blanket by a friend at 12:02 p.m. Aug. 20, 2006 in a house the 28-yearold rented on Lugrin Road in Beaver Creek. The young woman was expected to attend a friend’s wedding gift-opening ceremony that morning, leading others to send several unanswered telephone calls to Morrey’s home. She had been drinking with five friends the previous night at the Lugrin Road residence, who left Morrey’s home at 3:10 a.m. Darling was among this group. Eric.Plummer@avtimes.net

Water restrictions down to Stage 1 Port Alberni residents conserve household use as rainfall helps replenish ground table, says engineer “It’s that ground water table that provided the source of water that collected to the streams – and we were able to draw from that.”
MARTIN WISSMATH ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
Thanks in part to a 30 per cent reduction in water consumption over the summer months in Port Alberni, restrictions have been lowered this week from Stage 2 to Stage 1. “We’ve had a recent visit up to Lizard Lake and Bainbridge Lake and the water reservoir levels have risen,” said city engineer Guy Cicon at the regular council meeting on Monday night. “The concern about water restrictions has eased.” After a record low snowpack on mountains around the Alberni Valley last winter – only 15 per cent of the usual amount – and a dry spring, the City of Port Alberni enacted Stage 2 water restrictions for the first time in its history in July. Water usage dropped from a high of above 17,000 cubic metres per day on July 1 – in 33-degree weather – to just over 12,000 cubic metres on average in August, said Cicon. “We should be quite pleased how the general public reduced their water consumption due to our ask,” he said. “We were able to protect our water levels within our reservoir; that’s very important. The weather did break on us just recently. So we had those three

major things working in our favour to avoid any serious concerns about water volume and quality.” Coun. Jack McLeman asked Cicon what it would mean if the snowpack levels stayed low over the winter months. Cicon said that even without snow, rainfall has managed to replenish the ground water table to serve the city’s reservoirs. “It’s that ground water table that provided the source of water that collected to the streams – and we were able to draw from that,” said Cicon.
“If the snow level is minimal again this year, I’m hopeful that there’ll be enough rain to recharge the water table. But that’s where we were getting our water from this year.” Currently there is no system in place to monitor the water table in the China Creek watershed, Cicon said. But there is interest in ground water drilling as a possible future development. “We want to learn as much about our watershed as possible,” he said. “Understanding the ground water is part of that.” Without a snowpack in the winter, the city may need to return to Stage 2 water restrictions next summer, Cicon noted. Water restrictions this year will likely be lifted entirely within the next month, Cicon added. For Stage 1 restrictions,

Meals on Wheels can save lives KRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
A group of community partners is working together to provide nourishment to those who are unable to shop and cook for themselves. For 45 years, Wholesome Meals on Wheels has been delivering hot meals with the help of volunteer drivers. These volunteers play an important role in the lives of meal recipients. Some are ill, lonely or unable to get out of the house for any social interaction. “The volunteers spend time with them,” said coordinator Janet Buchanan. “Sometimes they are the only people they see all day and the drivers get to know them. They become friends.” Buchanan said the drivers also become an extra set of eyes and ears for families who may not always be available. “We run into emergencies a lot,” she said. “The drivers will report if they notice anything off and we
will contact the family. We have saved lives because (the clients) sometimes tell the drivers things they won’t tell their family.” Clients who use Meals on Wheels vary, but the majority, an estimated 75 to 80 per cent, are seniors. In the Alberni Valley, with a total population of almost 25,500, there are approximately 5,100 residents aged 65 and older. The service is open to anyone who has difficulty with meal preparation, and other clients include hospital patients returning home, those with physical or mental disabilities and people requiring support for nutrition. The group has 45 volunteer drivers and although the number is adequate, more are always needed for support. “Some spend time on the canal in the summer or go south for the winter, so we need about seven to 10 spares,” Buchanan said. The organization’s president,
Claude Lavertu said they have never run into a situation in which a meal went undelivered. “Others take over the extra routes,” Lavertu said. “It just makes it a little more difficult if someone can’t make certain days.” Last week the organization started working with The Cypress Restaurant, whose cooks provide up to 1,200 meals per month. Food and beverage manager Vishal Dewli said it is also a chance for people who are unable to go to his restaurant to try the food. “We will customize for everyone’s different needs,” he said. Meals are prepared and delivered Tuesday through Saturday between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. With partial funds from the BC Gaming Branch, the combined partnerships share a similar mandate of community giving.

its great working relationship with the City of Port Alberni. We share a number of priorities and we will continue to work together on these other initiatives; most notably, a high visibility attraction development at Clutesi Haven Marina grounds,” McCormick stated. “Given this

Threatening phone calls demanding banking information to pay for overdue tax debt are not from the Canada Revenue Agency, says the Port Alberni RCMP detachment. Over the past several weeks Port Alberni residents have received phone calls from a fraudster posing as a CRA representative, according to local Mounties. The caller attempts to persuade people to pay for a fictitious tax debt, and can become aggressive or threatening in an attempt to scare you into forking over your money. Hang up and call the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre – 1-888-495-8501 – instead, police recommend. This is the same tax scam reported all over British Columbia and across Canada, said Insp. Mac Richards, officer in charge of the Port Alberni RCMP. Local police noticed at least a dozen reports in Port Alberni about the scam starting about two weeks ago, Richards said. So far he is not aware that anyone in the Alberni Valley has become a victim of the scam. Calls are made at random and don’t appear to be targeted, he noted. Finding the fraudster, however, is unlikely. “Most of these are untraceable phone calls,” Richards said. “It’s pretty tough, depending on how they set it up. If the money goes out of the country, it’s even tougher. Most are money orders or direct transfers – you never see that money again.”
A number of different phone scams schemes asking for personal or banking information seem to recycle themselves every few years, Richards said, adding it’s important that people are aware of them. Fraudsters may manipulate caller IDs to appear to be a local or provincial number – a technique known as “spoofing.” “It’s important that the public recognizes that these phone calls are a scam,” stated Const. Aaron Aasen of the Port Alberni RCMP’s serious crime investigation section. “No personal or banking information should ever be provided over the phone prior to verifying the authenticity of the caller.” The Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre lists two different types of tax scams on its websites. Besides demanding payment for fictitious overdue debt, some scammers request information with the promise of a fictitious refund payment. Attempts to gather personal information for fraudulent purposes is known as “phishing.” The anti-fraud centre recommends people call the CRA to verify whether they owe back taxes or are entitled to a refund. The Canada Revenue Agency’s website includes descriptions of various scams, some of which are over email or by text messaging. Further information on how to recognize a tax scam and protect yourself is available on the CRA website at www.cra-arc. gc.ca. Martin.Wissmath@avtimes.net

Aid, defence spending can’t slide more
I
n decades past Canadians had reason to feel proud of the role our country played in the world. We deployed peacekeepers, championed the International Criminal Court, gave generously to foreign aid, fought apartheid, and battled ethnic cleansing. But Stephen Harper’s vision for Canada’s role in the world has never been an ambitious one, and the numbers prove it. Canada has slipped far behind other industrial countries on Harper’s watch, in terms of what we spend pulling our weight abroad. In fairness to the Conservatives, the slide didn’t begin with them. It dates back to the Liberals’ time in office. But the trend has continued and reached a new low point under the Harper Tories and it is hobbling Canada’s ability to help ease suffering in the world and contribute to global stability.
Canada has slipped far behind other industrial countries on Harper’s watch, in terms of what we spend pulling our weight abroad. In fairness to the Conservatives, the slide didn’t begin with them. It dates back to the Liberals’ time in office. The gap has grown so wide that whoever wins the current federal election will face a hard slog restoring Canada’s currency on the international stage. A new research paper for Open Canada, an online foreign affairs forum for the Canadian International Council, concludes that
Ottawa has become a “free rider” when it comes to spending on defence and foreign aid, two key benchmarks of a nation’s global engagement. If that sounds harsh, consider the numbers: Canada now spends about $19 billion on the military and $5 billion on foreign aid, for a total of $24 billion. That’s roughly 1.2 per cent of our economic output measured as gross domestic product, the report’s authors Robert Greenhill and Meg McQuillan point out. Our current spending makes us shirkers compared to our partners in the Group of Seven. We’re tied in the G7 for last place with Japan, spending 40 per cent less last year than the G7 average. We’re also last in a peer group of mid-size economies that includes Australia, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands and Switzerland.
“We have been laggards for years: today, we rank last,” the report concludes. “We are the least committed to global engagement of our international peer group.” That wasn’t always the case. Between 1975 and 1995, Canada’s spending on both defence and aid was far more ambitious under both Progressive Conservative and Liberal governments. Granted, the Cold War is over. But any “peace dividend” has long since been exhausted, and the calls on our military keep coming. Canadian troops have been deployed to thwart genocide in the Balkans, fight Al Qaeda and the Taliban, deter piracy and battle the Islamic State. And while the Harper government has invested heavily in mother and child health care abroad, that good work has been more than offset by aid cuts elsewhere.
Canadians can usefully debate where best to put money, into the military or aid. But if we want to play a serious role in securing a more prosperous, stable world for the next generation, we will need to dig deeper. What would it take to bring us back up to the G7 average? We’d need to boost spending by $13 billion or more a year, a 50 per cent hike. And that isn’t on any of the major party agendas. While Canada’s drift to the bottom hasn’t stirred much notice in the election campaign, it should be on the new government’s agenda once the dust settles. We have catching up to do.
federal constituency of Courteney-Alberni in the mornings. I have noticed that a substantial number of Conservative Party signs are falling down overnight, like leaves in the fall. Surely the people running the Conservative campaign for candidate John Duncan could borrow a leaf from one of their three utopian opposition parties and learn how to put up signs properly? Their signs stay up. Sadly, under current law, there is no penalty for putting up signs that fall down. The law only deals with defacing or pulling down campaign signs which is a criminal offence and can carry a fine up to $5,000 or two years in prison. The law needs to be amended to repair this deficiency.
know, the right decision in saving the two bear cubs. Unfortunately, the bosses in the Ministry of the Environment would not accept his judgment that there were good reasons to make an assessment with respect to human habituation before carrying out execution. Are we to believe the chain of command in the ministry is so insecure that it can’t accept that a professional on the ground may be right? With a little bit of mature circumspection by the higher-ups, this whole power play and media circus could have been avoided and Casavant’s job as conservation officer saved. But then this is the minister and his policy makers who again chose to shoot themselves in the proverbial foot, just like they did when approving trophy hunting of a dwindling stock of grizzlies in the Kootenays just so someone can gloat about another kill.

Empty health care promises from the feds Albeit well-meaning promises made by electioneering federal leaders are only empty promises as long as provincial governments are not held accountable for how federal health-care transfer payments are spent. For example: there’s something wrong when people in B.C wait weeks or months for diagnostic testing and sometimes years for treatments including surgeries, because of provincial under funding for diagnostic technicians, doctors, and nurses while umpteen health care so-called “authorities” executive teams enjoy $500,000 salaries, perks, and bonuses. Too much money is spent paying executives and hiring expensive consultants to reinvent the health care wheel, when all that’s needed is whatever medically trained and experienced staff ask for: the tools and personnel to provide patient-centered care. So unless the federal government is going to start holding provincial governments more
accountable, by monitoring whether transfer payments are well spent and that needed funds aren’t squandered on bureaucratic compensation, then their promises about improving health care disappointingly amounts to just empty promises. Unless the federal government holds the provincial government more accountable, healthcare will just continue as a base for consolidating political power. For surely B.C’s appointed health care “authorities” are also a B.C Liberal Party “special interest group” of supporters. As a retired R.N, it’s disheartening to continue to watch the corpartization of health care management increase along with patient wait lists. The latter was considered anathema before the former came along.

Critics say BC Ferries cuts are damaging service
Harper pushes economic record following surplus, mocks Trudeau
KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
BC Ferries saved several thousands of dollars more than its target last year through service cuts, according to a report done by the chairman of the Ferry Advisory Committee. John Hodgkins, a transportation specialist and head of a group of Ferry Advisory Committee chairs, found that BC Ferries achieved significantly more in savings than it was ordered to by the province three years ago. “The actual cost reductions indicated by our estimates . . . varied widely from the net savings targets set by government — in some cases by a factor of two or three — suggesting that the approach to cost reduction was, in some cases, more aggressive than necessary to deliver the mandated targets,� Hodgkins wrote. Jim Abram, regional director for Quadra Island, said Hodgkins found the figures for the Campbell River-Quadra Island route to be the “most striking.� Hodgkins admits in his report that while the figures are derived from BC Ferries data, the numbers have not been confirmed by BC Ferries. Nevertheless, his report finds that operating costs on the Quadra Island ferry route were reduced by roughly $450,000 in 2014 while BC Ferries estimated the route would lose $125,000 in revenue. That means BC Ferries achieved a savings of $325,000 last year, which is $140,000 more than the $185,000 BC Ferries was ordered by the government to cut out of the route through service reductions. Abram said the “enlightening� report reveals that BC Ferries went too far. “Instead of saving $185,000 as they projected, they in fact saved $325,000, which is a good indicator of how much we are being gouged,� Abram said in an email. Hodgkins agrees. “Taking account of best estimates of the likely revenue effects, it does appear that the net savings achieved on some routes are below the targets set by government, whereas on other routes the net savings delivered substantially exceeded those targets,� Hodgkins wrote. While the Quadra Island route produced excessive savings, that wasn’t the case on all minor routes. The Crofton-Vesuvius Bay (Salt Spring Island) run only achieved $40,000 in savings compared to the government’s target of $105,000; the Buckley Bay-Denman Island route had $224,000 in savings which fell short of the $330,000 target while the Denman Island-Hornby Island run missed its target of $180,000 with a savings of just $137,000. The Nanaimo to Gabriola Island ferry route reported the greatest savings. Through service reductions, a savings of $886,000 was realized while the government’s target savings was $400,000. Hodgkins said BC Ferries has told the Ferry Advisory Committee that it is unlikely to publish its own details of savings achieved on a route-by-route basis due to “perceived commercial confidentiality.� He said BC Ferries “was satisfied that the government’s financial objectives had been met.� Hodgkins said the province is not requiring BC Ferries to provide financial outcomes for each route and that “government was satisfied that as long as BC Ferries made the cuts, they would achieve the required savings.� BC Ferries was ordered by the government in 2013 to come up with $18.9 million in savings with cutbacks to its minor and major routes effective April 2014 after the corporation suffered a $16.5 million loss and a 21-year low in passenger traffic and a 13-year low in vehicle traffic in 2011. Ferries, however, recently announced that foot passenger traffic was up five per cent while vehicle traffic rose by 4.7 per cent in the first quarter of this year. The corporation said the increase in traffic generated a $5 million increase in Ferries’ net earnings compared to last year.

Tories also lose sixth candidate since campaign began after Facebook comments ALLISON JONES, THE CANADIAN PRESS
Stephen Harper was hanging 10 on the crest of a surprise budget surplus Tuesday, showing off his fiscal bona fides as the federal election campaign prepared to convene in Calgary to debate the state of the Canadian economy. But it wasn’t all smooth surfing for the Conservatives: yet another would-be Tory MP took a tumble over inappropriate comments on social media. Newfoundland and Labrador candidate Blair Dale was dropped over Facebook comments that were “incompatible with our party,� said a spokesman. Dale is the sixth Conservative to be shown the door since the campaign began Aug. 2. Earlier in the day, Harper had a little spring in his step in Vancouver as he boasted about Finance Department numbers that show a $1.9-billion surplus in 2014-15 where once there was a predicted $2-billion shortfall. Back on one of his favourite talking points, the prime minister mocked the fiscal-management chops of both Rachel Notley, Alberta’s new NDP premier, and Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau. “We know why there’s a recession (in Alberta) — it’s not because the government ran a $2-billion surplus,� he said. “There’s a recession because oil prices have fallen by half, and the recession has been made worse because the NDP government came in and followed up by raising taxes on everybody.� Trudeau — who has linked the economic slowdown to the

government’s relentless pursuit of a pre-election balanced budget — seems to think that $2-billion surplus provoked a worldwide fall in oil prices, Harper continued. “I mean, seriously,� the Conservative leader said to laughter from the partisan crowd. “They think that somehow under these conditions, plunging the country back into deficit for years to come would be a good thing. Canadians get that, given the turmoil in the world, the fact that we have a budget balanced — and we’re going to keep that balanced — is a good thing for this country.� Trudeau has criticized the surplus as the product of failing to spend adequately on those vulnerable Canadians — an accusa-
tion the Conservatives deny. The surplus was achieved in part by departments under-spending their budgets by $8.7 billion — a tactic known as lapsed funding and one deplored by critics as spending cuts by stealth. The Conservatives had budgeted for $7.2 billion in lapsed funding but wound up with $1.5 billion more than anticipated. A Liberal government would stick with its plan to run deficits for the first three years in office, making investments in infrastructure and seniors despite the surplus, Trudeau has said. Monday’s surplus news couldn’t have come at a better time for Harper, who will join his NDP and Liberal counterparts Thursday in Calgary for a debate on economic issues, sponsored
by the Globe and Mail and Google Canada. All three are now also confirmed for the Munk debate on foreign policy, which is scheduled to take place later this month. Mulcair and Trudeau had raised concerns about how bilingual the debate would be, but after reviewing the final format they agreed Tuesday to take part. Trudeau was in a contested southwestern Ontario riding Tuesday to promise $750 million for skilled trades funding, part of a previous $2 billion employment announcement Trudeau made a week ago in New Brunswick. A Liberal government would give $500 million to the provinces and spend $200 million on training for workers who can’t get federal training, plus $50 million to help aboriginal people improve their skills and job prospects. “You’ve seen your personal debt rising as your job prospects sink. You want to seek out better opportunities but you can’t access the training you need,� Trudeau told supporters and apprentices at a local plumber and pipefitter’s union. “Stephen Harper doesn’t know what that’s like. When he was first elected, Windows 95 was still two years away . . . (and) the cutting-edge way to apply for a job was to send in your resume by fax.� Mulcair, meanwhile, promised to establish a $100-million mental health innovation fund for children and youth — just the latest in a series of big-ticket health-care spending promises this week.

Former gangster sues B.C. government and jailhouse staff, claiming beating was ignored THE CANADIAN PRESS

City manager exits post in Vancouver LAURA KANE THE CANADIAN PRESS
Vancouver is launching a global search for a new city manager after announcing that veteran civil servant Penny Ballem is out of the job. Mayor Gregor Robertson said Tuesday that council voted in an in-camera meeting to end Ballem’s contract, under which she will receive $556,000 in severance. He tied the decision to his promise to “do things differently� after the 2014 election, when his government faced criticism for a perceived lack of transparency and consultation. Robertson said the city had a challenging year, including a transit referendum and economic growth that has placed pressure on staff to keep up. “We’re now at a point where it’s a good time to make change,� he said. “(It’s) an opportunity to really bring some new eyes, some fresh ideas to the table and new leadership for the city for the years going ahead.� He said Ballem was aware that council was considering voting on the matter on Tuesday. She did not attend the mayor’s news conference. Robertson said he could not say whether the vote was unanimous since it was an in-camera meeting. George Affleck, a member of the opposition Non-Partisan Association, posted on Twitter that city hall was “rudderless�
clothes,� the court document said. The former Red Scorpions gang associate, who is now in protective custody, said he suffered a brain injury, multiple broken bones, chipped teeth and facial lacerations as a result of the attack in June. The lawsuit said other inmates on the unit yelled at the attackers to kill him but staff did not

She helped oversee the 2010 Winter Olympics, the financial turnaround of the Olympic Village community and the recent regulation of illegal marijuana dispensaries. Robertson said he didn’t ask her to resign before Tuesday’s vote. Deputy city manager Sadhu Johnston will act as city manager during the search, which the mayor said will also include a compensation review to ensure the best value for taxpayers.

YOU AND THE LAWŽ */$03103"5*/( " $0.1"/: /05 40 4*.1-& Many people think that once they receive their Certificate of Incorporation, their company is ready to operate. But incorporating a private BC company is not as easy as it might seem. Choosing and reserving an appropriate company name, deciding on an authorized share structure, settling on the Articles (rules and regulations that govern the conduct of your company), completing the Incorporation Agreement and filing the Incorporation Application (with attached Notice of Articles) through Corporate Online are only the first steps. After you get your Certificate of Incorporation, things still need to be done to complete the organization of your company. You can have an actual organizational meeting, but the business can just as easily be done through consent resolutions signed by all directors. Shares have to be issued to the incorporators/shareholders. It’s the proportion each shareholder receives that’s important, not the number. If there are two shareholders and they are to “own� the company equally, then they should each be issued the same number (it could be ten shares each or 5,000 each). Then there’s the appointment of officers. While a company isn’t required to have any particular officers such as a president and a secretary (unless your Articles say so), it’s traditional to appoint officers of the company to handle the day-to-day operations. If you have a one-person company, you can be both president and secretary at the same time. You may also want to appoint a banker and authorize the transfer of assets or money into the company. The Business Corporations Act requires that minutes of all company meetings must be prepared and kept at the records office, along with other company records. So you need a company records or minute book to hold the minutes of your company meetings (or written and signed directors’ resolutions, if meetings are done by consent resolutions instead). You also need a directors’ register showing the full names and “prescribed addresses� of the directors (for receiving notices, legal documents and mail). Directors can choose their home address or the office they normally occupy during business hours. And you need a central securities showing the shares issued by the company, names and addresses of shareholders, number and class of shares they own, and so on. Does your company need financing to start? The easiest way to raise money is by shareholder loan. This should be documented by having the company make a promissory note, which should be approved in either a directors’ resolution or in the minutes of a directors’ meeting. You might also consider a “buy-sell� agreement, so existing shareholders retain control of the company if a shareholder dies or wants out, or a broader shareholders’ agreement. And then, once your company is organized, other things must still be done to maintain your company, for example, filing annual reports with the Corporate Registry. Your lawyer can assist you with all of this. If it’s a problem keeping your own records, consider using the “records office� services offered by your lawyer for an annual fee.

Port Alberni’s esteemed logger sports expert, Alan Boyko, and his wife Jean, will be stepping back from the better part of organizing the event at the fall fair after 44 years. Boyko will continue to serve as announcer and master of ceremonies for the event next year, but he’s done with the hard labour. “I’m coming up to my 80th birthday and we just figured that it’s time for us to leave while everything is going well. The grounds are in perfect shape, we did a lot of work and it’s in good hands,” Boyko said. He and his wife Jean are celebrating their 58th wedding anniversary next month. Boyko took over organizing the logger sports back in 1971. Since then the prize money handed out at the event – which includes six Canadian Championships – has
increased from $3,000 to $10,000, Boyko said. His grandson, Kenji Boyko, competed in the championship for novice logrolling against Nathan Krein. The two competitors are neighbours. While Kenji was the defending champion, Krein earned the title this year. The shape of the log used for the logrolling final was longer than usual and somewhat warped, Krein observed after his win. “It felt weird on the feet,” he said, adding luck was a factor. Other Canadian Champions were: Leo Coudrau for the standing block chop; Allison Briscoe and Anita Jezowski for the ladies’ double-hand bucking; Brian Bartow for tree climbing; Bartow and Nick Hall for the underhand butcher block; Wayne Paulson and Kat Spencer for the Jack and Jill bucking.

Wickaninnish Inn Pro-Am Sept. 18
Gaunce eager to gain Canucks’ confidence after position switch
JACKIE CARMICHAEL WESTERLY NEWS
Island golfers are expected to hit the links at Long Beach for the Wickaninnish Inn Pro-Am, set for Sept. 18. The tournament will be attended by 35 club professionals from the Island and the mainland as well as an estimated 100 additional golfers. The premier tournament for the Long Beach Golf Course directly benefits West Coast youth in support of their extra-curricular activities at Ucluelet Secondary School. These funds allow the sports and academic teams to buy supplies and arrange transportation for competitions and field trips. Without this money, these students would not be able to compete in sporting events or other competitions, as the government funding for these purposes is virtually non-existent, said Keith Gibson of Long Beach Golf Course. “Helping kids experience extracurricular activities is very rewarding. Some of these experiences may be lifetime memories that they will never forget,” Gibson said. “I grew up around team sports and still remember the people and the places. And knowing the Pro Am could help someone have this, is great,” he said. The event only works as many people come together to support the cause, Gibson said.
“The amount of money that comes in, is able to benefit every school athlete that we have.” Carol Sedgwick, Ucluelet Secondary School principal
“The events represents people coming together recognizing that high school is a big part of the future of the community. And allowing kids access to things without financial borders will continue to make USS a great learning environment,” he said. Last year, the Wick Inn Pro-Am raised over $15,000 in support of the local high school. In the last 12 years, over $125,000 has been raised for this specific cause. USS Principal Carol Sedgwick said the tourney is the most important fundraiser of the school’s entire year. “The amount of money that comes in, is able to benefit every school athlete that we have,” she said. “I am constantly in awe, after being in these communities and living in Ukee for 18 years, of the generosity of our communities, the amount of funds and time people give to our youth – it’s just incredible,” Sedgwick said.

Former 26th overall pick looks to crack the team’s roster JOSHUA CLIPPERTON THE CANADIAN PRESS
PENTICTON — Brendan Gaunce knows it can take a long time for young players to gain the trust of an NHL team. He hopes a change he made last season will help speed that process along with the Vancouver Canucks. The 26th pick at the 2012 draft was moved from centre to the wing last season with the AHL’s Utica Comets, a switch the 21-year-old from Markham, Ont., said has helped improve his overall game. “I think it will be a benefit in the long run,” said Gaunce. “With the Canucks knowing I can play both those positions and that I can play them well enough that they’ll trust me, it was definitely a positive.” Gaunce just completed his third Young Stars rookie tournament after scoring 11 goals and 18 assists in 74 AHL games last season. He added four goals and five assists in 21 playoff games. “I found playing wing I know what the centre is going to do,” he said. “I played centre my whole life so you kind of know where the centre’s going to be on certain plays. It really helps you on the wall because you don’t always have eyes on the play.” One of the draft picks in the Canucks’ system who wasn’t selected by the current management regime, on the surface it

would appear as though Gaunce has been surpassed by other prospects in the organizational pecking order — namely 2014 first-rounders Jake Virtanen and Jared McCann — with training camp set to begin Friday. Utica head coach Travis Green, who led Vancouver’s prospects in Penticton at the Young Stars tournament, said he wouldn’t be surprised to see Gaunce play in the NHL at some point this season. “He’s taken off. He’s had a good summer,” said Green. “I think he’s one of those guys that if he has a good camp and progresses the way he should ... he should put himself in a good spot to play
some (NHL) games.” The Canucks remain a team in transition, with younger players getting sprinkled among the veteran core. For his part, the sixfoot-two 205-pound Gaunce isn’t focused on anything other than continuing to improve. “I think that’s the mentality you have to have as a young guy,” he said. “You can’t look at it like you need to be on the team and if you’re not it’s a huge downer. I’m confident in myself that I can play at the NHL level. You just have to get them to trust you. “You can’t go into it slowly. You have to go into it full press. There’s definitely an opportunity for me this year.”

Patriots back on top of power rankings New England jumps up two spots after loss from former No. 1 Seattle Seahawks to the St. Louis Rams SIMMI BUTTAR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Tom Brady and the New England Patriots are back to a familiar spot after the first week of the regular season. The top of the NFL. The Patriots jumped two spots on Tuesday and are the No. 1 team in the AP Pro32 power rankings. In balloting by 12 media members who regularly cover the NFL, the Patriots finished ahead of the Green Bay Packers and the Denver Broncos. The Super Bowl champion Patriots earned seven first-place votes and 379 points. Green Bay received five firstplace votes and 376 points. Brady threw four touchdown passes in the Patriots’ 28-21 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the regular-season opener on Thursday night. “Picking up right where they

left off, as if the off-season controversy didn’t even happen,” The Monday Morning Quarterback’s Jenny Vrentas said of the Patriots. “In Week 2, here’s betting Rex
Ryan’s Bills pass defence will be more of a challenge to Rob Gronkowski than the Steelers’ overmatched secondary.” The Broncos were third, followed by the Dallas Cowboys
and the Seattle Seahawks, who dropped three spots after an overtime loss to St. Louis. “They ran into a ferocious St. Louis D, but it’s far too early to count them out,” ESPN’s Herm Edwards said. Dallas moved up two spots after rallying for a 27-26 win over the Giants on Sunday night. “It’s time to stop focusing on what Tony Romo hasn’t accomplished ... give the man his due,” said Ira Kaufman of the Tampa Tribune. The Seahawks have another road test on Sunday night when the travel to Lambeau Field to face Aaron Rodgers and the Packers in a rematch of last season’s NFC championship game. “No team has three-peated as a conference champion since the 1990s Bills,” said Rick Gosselin of The Dallas Morning News. “Now the 0-1 Seahawks are discovering the difficulty of the
challenge.” The Packers opened with a 31-23 win over the Bears. “Aaron Rodgers renews connection with James Jones,” Fox Sports’ John Czarnecki said of the receiver who caught two touchdown passes in his return to Green Bay. Arizona, Cincinnati, Buffalo, Kansas City and San Diego rounded out the top 10. “Looking for an early comeback player of the year candidate? How about Carson Palmer, who put up three touchdown passes in his first game back from a knee injury.” Newsday’s Bob Glauber said. Palmer led the Cardinals to a 31-19 victory over New Orleans on Sunday. Jameis Winston and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 32nd after their 42-14 loss to the Marcus Mariota and the Tennessee Titans in a matchup of the top two picks in the draft.

Toronto won’t bid on Olympics for 2024: Tory
NHL annouces new deal with Adidas for ‘17
LIAM CASEY AND DIANA MEHTA THE CANADIAN PRESS
Toronto will be a great venue for the Olympics one day but not this time, Mayor John Tory said Tuesday as he announced the city will not be bidding to host the 2024 Summer Games. Tory had until Tuesday to submit a letter of interest to the International Olympic Committee to register as a potential candidate to host the Games. “Let me be clear, I’m not saying no to the Olympics, I’m saying not this time.� Talk of Toronto potentially making a bid emerged as excitement built around this summer’s Pan Am Games, which were hosted by Toronto and surrounding communities. But he said there wasn’t enough time to put together enough information for the politicians, the business community and the city’s residents. The city was focused on the Pan Am and Parapan Games, which ended last month, and had little time to crunch numbers, he said. “I can’t look people in the eye at this point in our city’s development and tell them that
TORY
an Olympic bid is the best use of our time or our energy or our investment,� Tory said. “But now I can look into the eyes of my colleagues at other levels of government and say this — together we should be making the investments talked about in the context of the Olympics.� Tory said the city’s time and money will be better spent investing in transportation and transit, addressing the affordable housing crisis and reducing poverty. He said he “will continue to be very careful in how our money is invested and to what end.� Tory didn’t need approval to submit a letter of interest to the IOC, but would have required
support from city council and provincial and federal governments to go forward with a bid. “In the end it is not my job to be rash. It is my job to make the best decision for Toronto,� Tory said. He said he came to the decision late Monday, just a day before the deadline. The federal election also played a role in his decision he said. He spoke to the big three party leaders about a possible bid. “They were supportive and recognized the federal government had a role to play if we were to have an Olympic bid, but they were not writing — and I would not ask them — to write a big cheque,� Tory said. He said business leaders were also cautious, because he wanted the majority of the bid to be funded privately. “No one was rushing forward with their chequebooks to hand me big cheques,� he said. He did announce that he would form an advisory group which would look at the merits of competing for future large-scale events like the Olympics, International Expos or soccer’s World Cup.
“When and if we decide to compete for any of these events, we will do it right,� he said. The Canadian Olympic Committee says it respected Tory’s decision and appreciated the thorough consideration he had given the matter. “We remain optimistic Toronto could and should host the Olympic Games in the future,� president Marcel Aubut said in a statement. “The Canadian Olympic Committee is determined to have the Olympics back in the country at the earliest opportunity.� The IOC was supportive of Tory’s decision. “We realize that time was too short for such a detailed project to get the necessary support in just a few weeks following the successful Pan Am Games,� IOC spokesman Mark Adams said. “The International Olympic Committee highly appreciates what Toronto has done as it continues to work on a future candidacy.� Toronto made two unsuccessful bids for the Games — in 1996 and in 2008 — and Tory had said he doesn’t want to lead a third failed attempt.
STEPHEN WHYNO THE CANADIAN PRESS
Adidas will take over production of NHL uniforms beginning in the 2017-’18 season, and it’s unclear just how many changes will come as a result. The NHL announced a seven-year deal with Adidas to be its on-ice uniform supplier and also to serve as outfitter for next year’s World Cup of Hockey. Commissioner Gary Bettman repeatedly shot down speculation about the announcement opening the door for advertisements on jerseys and said he didn’t think they’d go through a major redesign. “Reinventing isn’t something we’re about to embark upon,� Bettman said on a conference call. “If there are better fabrics that are more comfortable and help performance, that’s one thing. But we happen to like our jerseys a lot, and we think our fans do as well. ... “We’re not looking to revamp our jerseys.�

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might wonder why you have experienced such extremes lately. You seem to go from wanting to cocoon at home to feeling ready for nearly anything.

Clearly, this person has an issue with something you have done. In a discussion with him or her, make an attempt to clear the air without getting personal. Neutralize any negativity. Tonight: Join a friend. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You will be on top of a project and have the perspective needed to bring it to fruition.

HAILEY DUNBAR-BLANCHETTE ABDUCTION
Arrest made but girl still missing LAUREN KRUGEL THE CANADIAN PRESS
BLAIRMORE, Alta. — RCMP in southern Alberta say they have arrested a suspect in the killing of a father and the abduction of his two-year-old daughter, but they still don’t know where the toddler is. Supt. Tony Hamori wouldn’t name the 22-year-old man who was arrested in Blairmore on Tuesday because no charges have been laid. The search was still on for Hailey Dunbar-Blanchette, who officers believe was taken from her Crowsnest Pass home in a speeding white van early Monday morning. Her 27-year-old father, Terry Blanchette, was found dead in the home and police believe his death was a homicide. “To my knowledge that person has been arrested in association (with) both the homicide and the disappearance of Hailey,� Hamori said at a news conference. He said the suspect is a resident of the town, 220 kilometres southwest of Calgary near the boundary between Alberta and British Columbia. RCMP say they have found a van that could be associated with the investigation, but have not called off the search for the suspect vehicle. “It is too soon for police to know if this is the van that was reportedly seen near the Blanchette home early Monday morning,� Mounties said. As the search for Hailey continued, a clearer picture of her father emerged. Blanchette, who worked as a cook in a restaurant and was described as a doting father by friends and his boss, had many criminal convictions between 2010 and 2012. Court records indicate he was convicted of failing to appear in court in Lethbridge in 2010 and was fined $300. He also pleaded guilty and was fined $750 for failing to stop his vehicle and evading police in late February 2012. The following month, Blanchette stole beef jerky from a Dollarama store and assaulted a man. He

pleaded guilty and was fined $500. A separate incident that month at a Zellers resulted in a charge of theft under $5,000. He pleaded guilty and was fined $100. In April 2012 he pleaded guilty to assaulting a man at or near Calgary and was fined $500. There are no court records after 2012. That’s when Blanchette’s Facebook posts switched from talk of court dates to pictures of him with his baby daughter. “I’m not the bad guy for not wanting my child around drug-addicted pedofiles,� said a post attributed to Blanchette on March 8, 2013. Family friend Corette Harrington said Hailey’s mother, Cheyenne Dunbar, and Blanchette amicably
shared custody of their little girl. She lived with her dad full-time and Dunbar visited every few weeks from Edmonton. Hamori said Dunbar is working with investigators. “To my knowledge, she has been co-operative with the investigation,� he said. “Police have been speaking with her and obviously, at this point in time, followup investigation is going to be done on all information we receive.� Neighbour Angela Mathieson said Blanchette’s father took care of Hailey while BlanchetteBlanchette was at work. She said it was clear he loved being a father. “His dad came and took care of her while he was at work. He was
taking good care of her. There was always laughing and giggling going on over there.� Mathieson said she returned home from a shift at around 3 a.m. — the time police believe Hailey was taken — and noticed nothing unusual. “I didn’t hear anything and the dogs never responded to anything going on there either.� Blair Painter, mayor of Crowsnest Pass, said everyone in the area is feeling the pain of this tragic case. “This is devastating for our small community. We’re very tight-knit,� he said. — WITH FILES FROM ROB DRINKWATER AND MARY JO LAFOREST IN EDMONTON.

Rescuers trudge muddy ground after ash ood kills at least a dozen KIMBERLY PIERCEALL AND BRADY MCCOMBS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HILDALE, Utah — Search-and-rescue teams trudged through muddy streambeds Tuesday in a small polygamous town on the Utah-Arizona border, looking for people who were missing after a devastating flash flood that killed at least 12 people. With more rain in the forecast, men in helmets were perched at high points along the route, watching carefully for any more
floodwaters that could suspend the search in Hildale, the secluded community that is the home base of Warren Jeffs’ polygamist sect. Only one person was still missing Tuesday afternoon out of 16 people — three women and 13 children — who were in two vehicles that got smashed Monday by a wall of water and carried several hundred yards downstream. Authorities had not identified the dead. Three people survived, all of them children. On Tuesday, the streets were caked in red mud, and earth mov-
ers cleared the roads and piled up mounds of dirt. As a helicopter buzzed overhead, crowds of boys in jeans and girls and women in deep-colored prairie dresses watched the rescue effort. Residents called it the worst flood in memory for the sister towns of Hildale, Utah, and Colorado City, Arizona, which are 315 miles south of Salt Lake City at the foot of picturesque red rock cliffs. It was in this area at Maxwell Canyon where heavy rains sent water down Short Creek and barrelling
through the towns. The torrent was so fast, “it was taking concrete pillars and just throwing them down, just moving them like plastic,� said Lorin Holm, who called the storm the heaviest in the 58 years he’s lived in the community. The women and children were in an SUV and a van on a gravel road north of the towns. They were returning from a park when they stopped at a flooded crossing and got out to watch the raging waters, Hildale Mayor Philip Barlow said.

This Is Then... With Kris Patterson
Red & June McConachie, with how the store looked back in June of 1964.
A look back at the history of Hunter’s Store
I
ENJOYED HEARING people’s memories at the AV Times booth during the Fall Fair this year. There is a lot of history and Hunter’s Store generated a lot of memories for people. I ran the photo of the fire at Hunter’s Store a few weeks back and I thought this would be a good time to look at the beginnings of what would become Hunter’s Store. Please send me your memories and photos at kris.patterson@avtimes.net or call me at 250-723-8171 ext. 228 Before it was Hunter’s Store, it was McConachie’s General Store, and before that, it was Freethy’s Store. By the way, before Chester and Chris Freethy created their store in 1947, they had leased The Flitton Store, just down the highway, adjacent to Bell Road. So the Flitton family also played a part in what would eventually become Hunter’s Store in 1966. More about that later, but first, thanks to Marjorie Jarrett (nee McConachie) we can revisit McConachie’s General Store. “My parents purchased the store
from Freethy’s in late ‘63 or early ‘64, and owned and operated it until 1966. Dad had been the manager of Fletcher’s Store for many years and Mom had worked in convenience stores before she married. They both wanted to try owning their own business.” **Bill Freethy tells me that his parents actually sold the business to Wally & Kay Smith in 1963, who never changed the name or had it very long. He remembers the Smiths were the ones who turned Freethy’s Store over to the McConachies.** Now back to Marjorie’s story.... “Mom and Dad, along with my brother Wayne, and their many employees, worked hard to offer a full line of groceries and other items, along with the gas service 364 days a year, although they usually had to open at least once on Christmas day for some type of emergency. Using ice cream as a draw was Dad’s idea. They set up the ice cream bar with a big variety of flavours. McConachie’s was the first in the area to bring in black licorice. They used a

10-cent sized scoop, but only charged a nickel a scoop. People would leave the store with cones piled “five scoops high,” sometimes with five different flavours. Mom and Dad sold so much ice cream that Dairyland parked a freezer-trailer in the lot so that the store would have back-up bins of the delectable treat. The employees who worked on the ice cream bar developed very good biceps. We still meet people today, who remember going to McConachie’s for ice cream.” Marjorie recalls her parents experimenting for weeks, with pure beef and the best combination of condiments, before they started “June’s Hamburger Stand,” on the store site. By the way, Gasoline was 32 and 35 cents a gallon at the time. “Mom and Dad sold the business to Wes and Elaine Hunter in 1966, and moved to Prince George, where Dad worked for Woodward’s.” The Hunters put their name on the store, and it stayed there until 1973, although the business had changed hands just before it was destroyed in a spectacular fire on June 20th. Lou Burrows was the owner
