» Industrial traffic
COURT
Murder suspect appears without lawyer MARTIN WISSMATH ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
As for Harbour Road, an industrial traffic route there conflicts with community interests to develop the city’s waterfront for public enjoyment, said Alemany. There’s also a significant cost involved: city council removed a $4-million allotment for a waterfront industrial road in 2014 and there’s no hurry to re-invest the money. “It needs to be a public process,” Alemany said. “It needs to consult with business and it needs to consult with industry. I want it to be an open process.” Kevin Wright of the Uptown Merchants Association, and owner of SteamPunk Café and Coffee House, said diverting industrial traffic off of Third Avenue would benefit his business. “It’s dangerous and noisy and makes it difficult for people to see the place in any other way than an industrial thoroughfare,” said Wright. Customers complain on “a regular basis,” he added, not just because of the noise but for safety concerns on the crosswalks. “We’ve had a lot of very close calls up here.”
The man accused of murdering Kristy Morrey nine years ago in Port Alberni made his first appearance in provincial court on Wednesday morning. Larry Sinclair Darling, 51, was brought into the Port Alberni provincial courtroom while in custody. He was arrested on Friday in Surrey and charged with first-degree murder. Morrey was found dead in her Beaver Creek home on Aug. 20, 2006. She was 28. Darling stood expressionless in the prisoner’s box and faced Judge Brian Klaver, who asked him if he had a lawyer. “No,” Darling answered. “I was talking to duty counsel, or whatever.” Klaver then directed the accused to leave the courtroom and called a recess. Family and friends of the victim also attended court. They did not speak to the media. Duty counsel for the day, lawyer John Bennie, told the AV Times he could not represent Darling because he knows the extended family of the victim, which would create a conflict of interest. After a short break Darling was brought back into the courtroom. Klaver advised him to retain a lawyer and adjourned the case to Oct. 14 in Port Alberni. Darling will remain in custody by consent, at the Vancouver Island Regional Correctional Centre (Wilkinson Road) in Victoria. Because of the severity of the charge, the provincial court has no jurisdiction to conduct Darling’s bail hearing, Judge Klaver said. In a press conference on Tuesday, Insp. Chuck McDonald, of the RCMP’s serious crime unit, stated that investigators are continuing their efforts in preparation for an upcoming trial. Details of the case are not being released. The serious crime unit was asked to support the investigation beginning in 2013, McDonald noted. “The entire time we have family, friends, and in the case an entire community not only mourning the loss, but also searching for answers,” McDonald stated.

City debates Uptown trucks Potential dangers clash with Alberni’s need for industrial activity MARTIN WISSMATH ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
T
rucking companies should find a different route around the Uptown, according to city council. Council voted unanimously at their regular meeting on Monday night to contact companies who send trucks through Third Avenue to encourage the use of alternate routes, sparing Uptown businesses the noise and heavy traffic risks in the commercial corridor. Coun. Chris Alemany put forward the motion at a meeting last month. Alemany said again on Monday that increasing truck traffic on Third Avenue recently has lead to complaints. In addition to the usual logging truck traffic, dump trucks are now travelling through the Uptown regularly for the city’s own engineering project to improve Dry Creek, Alemany noted. “There’s already been lots of complaints in the past,” Alemany said. For safety reasons and to encourage people to enjoy the Uptown with the businesses there, Alemany said companies should be encouraged to use different routes.

ALEMANY
At this time there aren’t a lot of alternative options, Alemany noted. Anderson Avenue is his preferred north-south re-route for trucks. City noise bylaws prohibit the use of airbrakes, Alemany said. He recommends the use of signage in the city to alert truck drivers to avoid the Uptown and lay off the airbrakes. Industrial traffic in the city’s north end is an issue through the Victoria Quay, Alemany added. Trucks there should be diverted to Gertrude Street onto Johnston Road, he said.
Trucks are noisy, but that means there is some industrial activity happening in Port Alberni, said Coun. Jack McLeman. “There’s a balance somewhere,” McLeman said. “There’s a dollar value as well.” Coun. Dan Washington urged caution when approaching companies, suggesting that council develop a “solution” first before telling trucks that they can’t drive through the city. Councillors agreed that Anderson Avenue is not a long-term solution for industrial traffic in the city, and another route will be needed. Two possibilities are to extend Harbour Road, or to to work with the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District on a bypass along the eastern side of the city connecting Johnston Road and Franklin River Road. The ACRD published a study in 2013 that estimated the cost of a ring road between $17 and $20 million. That report was shared with the provincial government, property owners and affected industries, noted the ACRD’s chief administrative officer, Russell Dyson. But there has been no development towards the project.

Fire danger low, mountain patrols ERIC PLUMMER ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
The worst of the forest fire season appears to be over, but the Alberni Valley’s wildfire crew continues to monitor an incident by Sproat Lake in case fuels flare up. Dog Mountain remains under patrol after the lake peninsula was overtaken by a 350-hectare forest fire in July. Although the Alberni Valley has seen regular rainfall since late August members of the Thunderbirds wildfire crew are regularly checking the mountain in case any spots reignite. A fire that grew to 402 hectares by Lizard Lake in the south Island is also under patrol. “If they actually have a report of a spot they’ll go out definitely and just check things out,” said provincial fire information officer Marg Drysdale, of the Dog Mountain situation. “They’ll occasionally go out and just double check on things, take a walk around and see if there’s anything to be concerned with. It becomes a part of their routine to check on these things.” “Sometimes the fires go quite deep, especially if they have very thick layers of duff, which this area definitely had,” she added. Dog Mountain is no longer listed as an active fire by the province’s Wildfire Management Branch, but the incident has left a prolonged effect on the area’s slopes. Due to instability on the mountain’s surface a “state of local emergency” remains for eight properties at the Sproat Lake site, according to an order recently extended to Sunday by the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District. A third-party study was conducted in August, and a report on the slope instability is forthcoming. After being under an “extreme” fire danger rating for extended periods this summer, the Alberni Valley and most of Vancouver Island now has a “low” classification, according to the Wildfire Management Branch. The Valley’s dry period

ended when regular precipitation started Aug. 28. The Coastal Fire Centre tracks drought conditions and the amount of combustable fuel available in the Valley’s forests. Graphs detailing conditions in Beaver Creek illustrate that burnable conditions in the forest peaked in early July, and have become less severe since the end of August. “Our forecaster has told us that the next week we will have rain,” Drysdale said. As of Monday the Coastal Fire Centre has allowed open fires on Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland, the Sunshine Coast, Gulf Islands and Haida Gwaii. This includes campfires under half a metre in diametre, burning material in piles under three metres wide and two metres high, as well as controlled fires to areas of grass under 2,000 square metres. “A person who lights a fire must have sufficient personnel, water and tools on hand to stop the fire from escaping and must comply with air quality control legislation,” stated a Monday bulletin from B.C.’s Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. Larger fires are also permitted if the province grants a Category 3 burn registration number. These permitted burns are often part of forestry operations.

A former resident of Port Alberni is frustrated with the medical system for failing to recognize her chronic condition. Debby De Backer, originally from South Africa, was forced to relocate from Ontario to B.C. after contracting what she suspects is Rocky Mountain Spotted Lyme Disease in 2009. Experiencing symptoms similar to Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease and even Alzheimer’s disease, De Backer is hoping for answers without having to continue to travel south of the border. About six years ago, De Backer was doing a lot of hiking around the mountains of Alberta. Soon after she suffered a flu-like illness but the symptoms have been incurable. Since then she has been feeling worse, with increased fatigue and joint pain. In 2014, De Backer and her husband, Johan, both teachers, moved to Port Alberni to work in the school district. By spring of that year, she had to quit her job as an on-call teacher as she could no longer walk farther than one block. “I was told that it was all in my head and that I had a serious mental illness,” De Backer said.

of which she pays for herself. Last January she had her blood work sent to the United States where she feels the testing is more accurate. “In Canada about 75 per cent (of results) come back negative for Lyme Disease even if it is positive,”
she said. For now, De Backer is relying on support from a Vancouver Island Lyme Disease Facebook group with about 220 other sufferers. Many are from the Comox Valley, where she and her husband now live. “Most of them are going to the United States and are stuck with a diagnosis of fibromyalgia from their doctors,” she said. De Backer is hoping to eventually receive disability support and is concerned about her long-term quality of life. “In the late stages, some people end up in wheelchairs and on oxygen,” she said. She was recently in the emergency with paralysis and unable to speak, but did not receive any answers to the unexplained symptoms. She is currently being tested for Multiple Sclerosis. “We who have Lyme Disease know it can imitate other diseases,” she said. “I know the test will come back negative.” De Backer hopes Lyme Disease, as well as other illnesses not recognized by the provincial government, is put on the health care agenda as an election issue for candidates.

The world is letting refugees go hungry
L
ittle Alan Kurdi shocked the conscience of Canadians and the world when he was found drowned on a beach. The Syrian toddler’s death highlighted the desperation that refugees face. But in camps across Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Egypt, countless other children are suffering as the world looks the other way. The United Nations Security Council has been unable to muster the will to put an end to the horrific civil war in Syria that has killed 250,000 people and uprooted millions more. Developed countries, including the United States and Canada, have been slow to grant asylum. Now, to complete the collective callous shrug, the world is refusing even to feed the victims of this war – and is paying a price, in terms of the refugee exodus.
Refugees are begging in the streets. Mothers are giving up meals to feed their children. Entire families aren’t getting the nutrition they need. People face a cold winter in flimsy tents. Children are being pulled out of school to work.
Canada has to bear some of the responsibility. While the Conservative government has provided $503 million in humanitarian assistance, and has offered to match $100 million more in private donations, the money has been spread out
over four years. It works out to $150 million a year, at best, and it hardly puts us at the top of the donor list. In fact, our support for the World Food Program actually declined from $367 million (U.S.) in 2012 to $350 million last year, at a time when the need was surging. Like many other affluent countries, Canada can and should be doing more. As Liberal MP Adam Vaughan put it, “It’s time to dig a little deeper.” That’s something worth addressing in the campaign debates. The Syrian crisis calls for generosity, not just grudgingly doing the minimum. The United Nations hoped to raise $7.42 billion (U.S.) this year to help many of the seven million Syrians displaced inside the country and four million who have fled it. But UN relief coordinator Stephen O’Brien
reports that barely $2.38 billion has been received, just a third of what is needed. The UN reckoned it would need $4.5 billion alone provide emergency shelter, food, water, medical care and schooling for Syrian refugees in neighbouring countries. So far donors have provided only $1.7 billion, or 37 per cent. This failure to respond has left the World Food Program facing its “worst shortfall” ever, and refugees face yet more suffering. The WFP has been forced to cut back sharply, reducing the number of Syrian refugees receiving food vouchers from 2.1 million to 1.4 million, a drop of onethird. Even those still getting vouchers now have to get by on less than 50 cents a day in food assistance, half of what they used to get, as the food program stretches its scant funds.
The result? Refugees are begging in the streets. Mothers are giving up meals to feed their children. Entire families aren’t getting the nutrition they need. People face a cold winter in flimsy tents. Children are being pulled out of school to work. Families are marrying off their young daughters. Little wonder, as Syria’s war worsens, as conditions in the camps deteriorate and as hope fades, that many are now seeking refuge in Europe or beyond, even at the risk of their lives. They are fleeing hunger. That is something within our power to fix.
After living and working as an R.N in Vancouver for over 30 years, I moved to Vancouver Island in 2002; a whole different economic reality, as I suspect are a lot of non-urban (chic!) areas of B.C. When the electorate consider ‘how the other half live’, they’ll see through the PM’s false propaganda.
Along with Donna Brett, I secured the the old extendedcare facility at our old hospital for Abbeyfield. However, when it came to saving our old hospital, my committee failed. That facility had five floors, at least two of which could have served for intermediate/complex care. But the buffoonery continued and we got a 52-bed new hospital. Even though it’s designed for 60 beds, none of those extra beds have been added despite my urgent appeals. And the only complex care facility proposed (at the old ADSS site) would, you guessed it, charge $5,000-$7,000 a month, so it’s been rejected. So unless the good old days return and we have a LOCAL CEO and board, we’re going to get zilch both here and on the outer West Coast. Most residents simply sit on their duffs, so there’s no widespread public movement to effect change and therefore none is occurring now and will not for the foreseeable future.

Parking in Cathedral Grove needs attention Summer is now over and once again it was a real challenge to drive down Island through Cathedral Grove with vehicles parked all over the road, people backing onto the highway from the parking lots, and tourists driving slowly down the highway gawking at the big trees. When is the highways department going to improve the parking in the grove? People are going to park on the sides of the road regardless of no parking signs, so why don’t they improve the parking there? Add 10 or so feet of crushed gravel to each side, pack it down to make it easier to park and get the vehicles off the highway. No trees have to be cut down, just put the gravel around them. No engineering required, no useless parking lot miles away from the grove, no trees need be cut down, perhaps a bit of brush cleared, and the work can be done during the winter when the traffic is lightest and not as many tourists. There would only have to be
about a half a kilometre of gravel down each side of the road towards Port Alberni and both sides as far as the second bridge towards Cameron Lake. A simple solution to a problem which seems to be getting worse each year and nobody is doing anything about it. Doug Havard Port Alberni
Conservatives need to come down to reality Here I am in B.C., where there never has been a recession and there isn’t a recession now, declared the PM. Who is he trying to kid? Certainly, the perpetually exclusively wealthy enclave of North Vancouver is an ironic venue to spew that kind of propaganda. Time for PM Harper and company, including the choir of mid to older-aged Conservative supporters listening to him preach in in tawny North Vancouver, to come down from their ivory economic tower!

VALLEY FACES Getting to know the people who live in the Alberni Valley
Don’t go to bed angry, says couple since 1950 From wooden sidewalks to 23 great-grandchildren, the Newfields look back on a legacy together ERIC PLUMMER ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
Johanna and John Newfield were reminded why they’ve called the Alberni Valley home for over 70 years during a recent trip to the Fall Fair. John, 88, was feeling the effects of the 27 Celsius temperature during the fair’s opening day on Sept. 10. The gravel surface near the exit gate made matters worse for the walker the senior was using. “All of a sudden, there was no use in me trying to hold myself,” says John, who brought his wife down with him. “I started falling and she was on the right side of me. She tried to hold me.” When the two fell Johanna harmed her forehead and wrist, which became numb. But help was immediately at hand from the surrounding fall fair visitors and two first aid attendants, who remained with the couple until John recovered enough to drive home. “It was beautiful to know that people cared,” recalls Johanna. Like just about everything over the course of their lives in the Alberni Valley, Johanna and John endured the recent incident at the Fall Fair together. On Wednesday the Newfields marked 65 years of marriage, a legacy that was entirely spent in the Valley – except for a stint of less than a year on Alberta’s oilfields in the early 1950s. It didn’t take long for the tight couple realize that moving from one wildcat drill site to the next was not worth the troubles. “We were wildcatting at the time, and she was pregnant,” says John. “Wildcatting is no life for a family,” adds Johanna. The Newfields moved back to the Alberni Valley, where had they married in 1950. Over the following decade they had six children (one died shortly after birth), who bred a dozen grandchildren that have so far resulted in 23 great-grandchildren. Looking out the window from the bright kitchen in his South Port home, John reflects on his feelings towards Alberni. The Inlet stretches before mountains rolling off into the distance. “It’s nice and quiet,” John says. “A lot of people are considerate. If something’s wrong, they’re right there.” John first came to the Valley in 1945 with his family after growing up on a farm in Morris, Manitoba. A lingering Manitoba connection lured him back to the prairies alone, but John soon hitchhiked to the Island to rejoin his family again in Alberni. “I went back to Winnipeg and things didn’t work out,” says John. “You know what girls do.” Johanna’s roots in the Valley stretch even further back to when she moved from New Westminster with family at the age of four. The 81-year-old recalls attending Alberni Elementary when sidewalks were composed of raised planks. Spaces were in
“You’ve always got to remember to say sorry for anything that you did wrong before you go to sleep.” Johanna Newfield
between the boards, a feature the young lady used to gain sympathy from passersby. Johanna told the strangers she lost her money in the cracks, and would often be granted change she could spend at the old Roxy Theatre. “I would sit there and look at the crack, pretend that I’m crying,” she remembers with a chuckle. Besides raising a growing family the couple used to run JS Trucking, a transportation business that operated from 1962 to 2009. While they admit “ups and downs” together, the couple firmly believe in open communication. “If you’ve had something that’s been bothering you between you, get it solved before you go to bed so that you can feel better,” John says. “Of course, we’ve got the Lord in our hearts, that’s one of biggest main things that we’re together.” “You’ve always got to remember to say sorry for anything that you did wrong before you go to sleep,” adds Johanna.

COMMUNITY
Business Ladies golf for hospice SUBMITTED FOR THE AV TIMES
The Alberni Golf Club’s Tuesday Business Ladies are holding their year-end wind-up scramble on Sunday, Sept. 27. Again this year, they are also doing a fundraiser for the Alberni Hospice Society. Last year, as well as having a good time golfing and a dinner, with the generosity of our town, and with Scotiabank on board matching funds, they raised $12,810.25. They have raised a total of $53,487.73 in six years. The scramble takes place at the Alberni Golf Club on Sunday, Sept. 27. The ninehole scramble of fun golf starts at 2 p.m., followed by a dinner. Before that, at 1 p.m., there will be a KP (closest to the pin) shootout for all the KP winners during the season. Before all this starts, all the ladies get tickets to try and decide which of the generous donations from
merchants, businesses and individuals they wish to win. After dinner, there will be the year-end Business Ladies’ Golf prizes, the day’s prizes and then the fun of seeing if you win any of the things you tried for. Best of all, Alberni Hospice Society & Ty Watson House will once again benefit from the generosity of this town. All women are invited to come and participate (sorry, guys, you can’t play, but you can get tickets), and have a great time. The theme this year for the scramble is “Bedrock, the Flintstones.” It may be fun to get into costume with the theme, but please keep course dress code etiquette in mind. Just stop by or call the Pro Shop (723-5422) to sign up on your own or register a whole team (4 women per team). Call the Pro Shop for more details.
Ryan Miller is meticulous. He takes a lengthy Zen-like approach to addressing the state of his equipment after each outing because every pad or strap must be in proper position and condition to help maximize performance. The Vancouver Canucks goaltender took the same offseason approach to ensure that a medial collateral ligament sprain of his right knee suffered in a Feb. 22 crease collision with teammate Jannik Hansen wasn’t going to be a nagging problem. And while it took the starter five months to fully recover from the ailment, he believes he’s in position to succeed after methodically strengthening his body to help shoulder a considerable workload

Saturday, Sept. 19. There will be two teams, The Pro Shop Team with Brian Rands as the Captain against The Grounds Team with Steve White as the Captain. The Captains will alternate picking players from the sign up sheet. They will send their players out in pairs alternating their match ups. Each player will play his own ball with the low gross winning the hole. Play will end after 18 holes has been played. Unlike the Ryder Cup that has a limited number of players, we will play all players. Players of any handicap can participate, since the Captains will try to match up competing players with similar handicaps.

at, and it’s a pretty good place. “They (doctors) clear you at four to six weeks and say you’re stable, but when you talk to anybody who has an injury that way — whether it’s a knee or shoulder — it’s a fourto-six-month recovery period until you feel yourself again. And that held true. I got to the five-month point and I just didn’t feel it. The back part of my knee had some inflammation and I felt it until midJuly and then one day it just didn’t hurt anymore. It’s like the body says ‘we’re through the irritation and inflammation’ and stuff started to really click because I didn’t have that (reaction) delay. I’ve been on the ice since midMay and didn’t really lose any co-ordination on top of trying build strength back. I think the summer was productive.” That’s a good thing. At age 35, Miller is the second-oldest starter this season — Roberto Luongo is 36 — and the misconception that because he’s the physical antithesis of Canucks backup Jacob Markstrom, that he may be prone to re-injuring the knee. In 45 regular-season games, Miller went 29-15-1 with a 2.53 goals-against average, a .911 save percentage and tied for fourth in the league with six shutouts. “It’s an impact sport, and when I’ve been hurt, it hasn’t been the wear and tear where I’ve exposed something,” stressed Miller. “I think I’ve been able to avoid the ones that are preventable.” If that continues to be the case, then Miller should be able to play at least 60 regular-season games and nobody will look at the birth certificate of the fifth-round 1999 Buffalo Sabres draft pick or the fact he has two more years remaining on his contract at $6 million US annually. “I don’t like mentioning this in this market, but when we won the Stanley Cup in Boston (2011), Tim Thomas was 35 years old and nobody ever brought that up,” said Canucks general manager Jim Benning, a former Bruins assistant GM. “These guys now are in such good shape that we’re now seeing players playing longer and goalies and can play when they’re 40. I don’t look at the age. Ryan has a lot of experience and there’s a lot of pressure on the goalie here and he settles our team down.”

Scott Ranger gets his Mann Cup, ready to retire
Blue Jays crush Braves 9-1 in Atlanta
SCOTT MCKENZIE DAILY NEWS
Three years ago, Scott Ranger asked for a trade from the Nanaimo Timbermen to the Victoria Shamrocks to win a Mann Cup before his decorated lacrosse career ended. Ranger finally achieved his goal Friday night as captain of a Shamrocks, who beat the Peterborough Lakers in Game 6 of the national Senior A championship series to win the cup — the first time a team from the west has done so in nine years. “It was a lot of hard work that finally paid off,� said Ranger, a 32-year-old on-call school teacher born and raised in Nanaimo who had four goals and seven assists in the series against the Lakers. “It was the battle of my whole career, and to end it off with something like that is pretty special.� Before the season started, Ranger had retired from his pro career in the National Lacrosse League, but still wanted to win a Mann Cup rather than go his entire career in the Western Lacrosse Association without grasping it.
Willem Stannard, 9, inspects the Mann Cup with Scott Ranger at Kirby’s Source Sports. [AARON HINKS/DAILY NEWS]
It was the sole reason he had asked to be traded from his hometown Timbermen to the Shamrocks. “That was the whole idea,� Ranger said Wednesday at Kirby’s Source for Sports as he took photographs with young lacrosse players and the trophy. “Unfortunately it took me three years, but we finally got it and
now I can look back on it as part of my career.� With a Mann Cup now acquired, Ranger hasn’t made an official decision on whether or not he will play next year, but is leaning toward retirement. If he does retire, he will go out as captain of a Mann Cup-winning team, although he takes little credit for that.
“Our team had a good leadership group,� he said. “It wasn’t just me, wearing the ‘C.’ “It was some of the guys not wearing letters, too, so it was just typical stuff of getting everybody ready for every battle. “Our team had a lot of leaders, so it was an easy job.� Ranger’s retirement would also mean he leaves having posted 709 points in 181 WLA games, an average of 3.92 per game. “It’s not a for-sure decision yet,� he said, “but it’s definitely looking toward retirement now. You can’t finish a career any better than that, so without saying yes, it’s my time.� Ranger said he will continue to be involved in the game, likely ending up as a coach at the minor level. “I’ve got two little kids who want to play lacrosse, and I’ll definitely start coaching now and start giving back to the game that’s given me so much,� he said. “It’s just what you do.� Scott.McKenzie @nanaimodailynews.com 250-729-4243

CHARLES ODUM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — David Price is emerging as more than Toronto’s ace. The left-hander is showing he can also be the team’s stopper, the pitcher who can be trusted to halt losing streaks. Price allowed one run in seven innings, Russell Martin hit a homer and drove in four runs, and the Blue Jays beat Shelby Miller and the Atlanta Braves 9-1 on Wednesday night to protect their lead in the AL East. Price (16-5) gave up six hits and had nine strikeouts as he improved to 7-1 since coming to Toronto in a trade with Detroit in late July. Four of the seven wins have followed losses; the latest stopped a two-game skid. Price said he didn’t know so many of his wins had followed losses, but he embraced the stopper role. “I’ll be that guy,� Price said after taking the AL lead with his 2.42 ERA. The Blue Jays stayed three games ahead of second-place New York in the division.

Emergency safety set to become an automatic for ten automobile manufacturers JERRY HIRSCH LOS ANGELES TIMES

Jaguar owns up to past mistakes, ready to roar CHARLES FLEMING LOS ANGELES TIMES
I
t’s not often auto executives speak frankly about their brand’s long history of making “bad cars.” But the chiefs at Jaguar — now under new management — know they have a dubious legacy to overcome. The historically British brand, now owned by Indian giant Tata, had become known for building beautiful machines that never quite ran right, with high maintenance costs and low resale value. Now the brand is addressing that problem head on, with price cuts, perks and long-term warranties. “The times of bad cars are over,” said Joe Eberhardt, president and CEO of Jaguar Land Rover North America. “This is the next generation of Jaguar. But we need customer confidence to get there.” Eberhardt, in interviews during last month’s Monterey Car Week in Monterey, Calif., acknowledged that the Jaguar side of the brand has suffered from lingering consumer doubts. “We have been perceived as a low-volume, high-priced brand,” the executive said. “Jaguar has the reputation that we build unreliable cars that are expensive to maintain.” To combat that, Jaguar
Price for the fully loaded R is $131, 895. [LA TIMES]
announced earlier this month an aggressive campaign to convince prospective buyers to give Jaguar another look. The company has turned expensive options into standard equipment on many models, lowered prices on many vehicles, and added extended warranties, while also introducing two new entry-level vehicles that it hopes will expand its reach to younger, more mainstream consumers. A 2015 Jaguar XF, for example, will start at $52,895 — 9 per cent lower than the comparable 2015 model. A 2016 Jaguar XJ will start at $75,395, about the same as a 2015, but will include as standard a set of options that the company values at $7,000. All vehicles in the 2016 model year line-up will include five-year and 60,000-mile limited warran-
ties, and free scheduled maintenance for the same period. The company will also shortly unveil the 2017 XE, which at a starting MSRP of $35,895 will significantly lower the entry point for the brand, and the 2017 F-Pace, a crossover utility vehicle that will expand Jaguar’s reach into a segment it has never occupied. Jaguar Land Rover _ at one time two independent brands, but later united and owned by BMW and by Ford _ was acquired by the Indian automotive giant Tata in 2008. The parent company has invested roughly $30 billion into the brand, Eberhardt said, over the last five years. The company reported that Jaguar sales for August were down three per cent from August of 2014, though sales of the F-type
were up 15 percent for the same period. Jaguar year to date sales for 2015 are off four per cent from 2014, the company said. Sales at sister company Land Rover were better, up 12 percent for the month, over August 2014, for its best year ever. Year to date sales are up 20 per cent, the company said. Eberhardt said he believed the F-Pace and XE will sharply expand the brand’s visibility, especially among younger buyers, and markedly increase sales _ a point echoed by marketing vice president Kim McCullough. “Starting this year we will be reaching a far larger target audience that includes a significant number of affluent millennial customers,” McCullough said. “This opens up a new segment to us, with vehicles that will make the brand more accessible.” The challange, said Kelley Blue Book analyst Akshay Anand, will be overcoming the brand’s reputation as a troubled prestige nameplate. “The brand has had issues” with the perception that the cars are unreliable and unattainable, Anand said. “But the cars have gotten better, and the XE and F-Pace are the cars that will get new people in the door,” he said. “Those are the vehicles that will dictate Jaguar’s near-term success.”
REVIEW
Unexpected sources driving into SUV market DAVID MCHUGH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Does anyone really need a sport-utility vehicle so fast it can hit speeds close to those seen in Formula One races? Luxury automaker Bentley is betting that some well-heeled customers will feel that they do. Its new Bentayga SUV that is on display at the Frankfurt International Motor Show has a top speed of 301 kilometres per hour, not too far behind the speeds that race cars reach. It accelerates to 100 k/h in 4.1 seconds — speed and power more like a sports car than an off-road vehicle. Starting at 175,200 euros in Eur-
ope and $221,600 in the United States, the Bentayga exemplifies the trend for makers of highpriced vehicles to get into the SUV segment — even if their reputation might be for another kind of car. That could be high-priced passenger rides in Bentley’s case, or sports cars, such as with Jaguar, which is showing off its first SUV at the Frankfurt show. Analysts say luxury carmakers are stretching their brand image to offer more types of vehicle and expand sales in the premium segment. That’s where profit margins are highest, while mass market carmakers often struggle to break even.
Mercedes-Benz, already in in the SUV game, is offering the GLC, a redone version of its GLK mid-size SUV. Maserati, a brand that like Jaguar is best known for its sports cars, is expected to unveil its new Levante SUV in the coming months. Tesla’s high-performance SUVlike crossover, the Model X, will start reaching customers Sept. 29. It won’t be on display in Frankfurt; Tesla doesn’t bring production models to auto shows before they go on sale. In a sense, all the above manufacturers are following the example of pioneer Porsche, which introduced the Cayenne
SUV in 2002 when it otherwise made only sports cars. It now makes more SUVs than any other kind of vehicle. Porsche is now part of Volkswagen, like Bentley. The new SUVs show “how elastic some of these ultra-premium brands are becoming in terms of what their vehicles mean to consumers,” said analyst Tim Urquhart at IHS Automotive. He said performance SUVs are a new breed of car: “You can have a car that is a big chunky car with notional off road ability — although none of these cars obviously ever goes off road — but which also has huge performance levels as well. ”

Federal safety regulators, the insurance industry and a coalition of the world’s largest automakers announced an agreement Friday to make automatic emergency braking a standard feature in future car models sold in the U.S. Such systems, which alert a driver to a potential forward collision and robotically trigger the brakes, have proved successful in reducing crashes, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, but they are typically an expensive option. “We are entering a new era of vehicle safety, focused on preventing crashes from ever occurring, rather than just protecting occupants when crashes happen,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. “If technologies such as automatic emergency braking are only available as options or on the most expensive models, too few Americans will see the benefits of this new era.” Ten automakers — Audi, BMW, Ford, General Motors, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo — will work with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to develop a timeline for installing automatic braking as a standard feature in all vehicles they sell. Those companies accounted for 57 per cent of U.S. auto sales last year. Making the systems standard will be an important step in motor vehicle safety, said Jake Fisher, automotive test director at Consumer Reports. As the feature finds its way into more vehicles, Consumer Reports will stop recommending cars that lack it, Fisher said. “We have tested it at our track, and we are really impressed with the technology,” Fisher said. Safety regulators and insurance industry representatives also urged the remaining car and truck manufacturers to bring automated braking to their vehicles as well. Mercedes-Benz already offers a standard front-crash-prevention system in its 2015 C-Class, CLA and E-Class sedans. IIHS, an insurance industry trade group, said its research found that automatic braking systems can reduce insurance injury claims by as much as 35 per cent. “Most crashes involve driver error. This technology can compensate for the mistakes every driver makes because the systems are always on alert, monitoring the road ahead and never getting tired or distracted,” IIHS president Adrian Lund said. The automatic emergency braking systems are designed to prevent or reduce the impact of crashes, especially where one vehicle drives into the rear of another. The technology uses on-vehicle sensors such as radar, cameras or lasers to detect an imminent crash, warn the driver and, if the driver does not take action, engage the brakes. What speeds they work at depends on the manufacturer and the systems. Some are effective at preventing crashes at the slower speeds cars drive in traffic while others can work at nearly highway speeds. Traffic Safety Administration research found that a large number of drivers involved in rearend crashes either did not apply the brakes or did not apply the brakes fully prior to the crash, failures that can be corrected by the robotic braking systems.

Written and performed by David Sherman and Nancy Lee, Lost & Found was produced in Montreal in February 2015 by Infinithéâtre’s artistic director Guy Sprung. “Every night everyone stayed to talk to us,” said Sherman. Set in the The Lonely Hearts Café, Lost & Found is the tale of two recovering romantics, singers/ songwriters Victor and Patricia, who sing about love lost and what they hope to find after they meet in a small cafe in “the middle of nowhere” and tackle the demons of the past and their fears. The play’s music is a captivating and bluesy blend of folk, roots, country and pop that combines the sweet vocals of Lee and the edgy vocals and soul-touching lyrics of Sherman, creating an original sound that lingers long after the last note.
had been seeing the term ‘The Dark Web’ pop up a lot lately. I was infinitely curious about this Dark Web and all the mystery it held, and of course envisioned a scene from Stars Wars where Darth Vadar is laughing at memes and sharing them on ‘Dark Facebook’ Darkbook? Darthbook? And this was all happening in this vast secret space somewhere behind my web browser that I needed to hack into. Upon searching out The Dark Web, I lose interest after reading the Wikipedia definition which uses a lot of hacker jargon that is beyond my tech interests, and I naturally move to the idea of Dark Social. Is there a Darkbook? No... there’s not, at least it’s not accessible on the ClearNet (Dark Web’s Angelic Side) or perhaps I need to phone the patent office. In searching for Darkbook I discover that Dark Social is in fact a thing, but it’s not what you’re thinking, though you’re likely participating in Dark Social all the time. Typically when we share a link on social media it carries along with it a tag that allows the content creator to measure its reach; to know that the content has been shared. As a content creator it’s important to know who is reading your content and where they’re sharing it in order to provide more of

what is resonating and to know where people are visiting your website from. Dark Social is a term coined in 2012 by Alexis C. Madrigal that refers to immeasurable shares. When we email a link to a friend, or text a link from our phones these shares aren’t measurable to the content creator; when you click the link it’s unknown where you are clicking from. A recent survey showed that 32 per cent of people only share via dark social: emails, text messages, IM’s. So why should we care if we can’t measure it anyway? This dark social traffic can be a great indicator of changes to be made in your social or mobile strategy. Though it’s great the content is being circulated, we ultimately want measurable traffic; why aren’t people sharing directly? The answer can usually be found in the ultimate social strategy from Obi Wan, “Great content will keep you from the Dark Side” » Tashia is the owner/operator of Great Central Social Company which provides social media strategies and solutions. for businesses.

FURNITURE Buy Smart: Recliners Is it time to invest in a chair for you to relax in? Here are some things to help you choose a chair that will improve every day of your life! Recliners are like shoes – looks are important, but comfort is key. When you go to a store, have a seat in a prospective chair and ask yourself: Do my feet touch the floor when the back is upright? Does the headrest support my head and neck comfortably? How is the cushioning on my lower back? Is the height of the arms convenient when I reach for things beside me, or to do crafts?
FACTORY CLEAROUT!
Next, test the chair’s footrest several times. Is the reclined position still comfortable? Is it easy to recline? Some chairs can be upgraded to include a power recline feature – a wonderful option if you like to precisely adjust your reclined position. Power recliners are almost a necessity if you find most recliners hard to use or if you plan on having surgery in the future. As you seek comfort, consider longevity. Will the store you are buying a chair from be willing to fix the chair if something goes wrong? What is the warranty on the chair’s reclining parts?
Jennifer Norn, owner Jowsey’s Furniture 250-723-3922
Once you find the perfect fit, find out your style options. Most recliners come in a variety of covers like fabric, leather or a blend of the two. In fact, most manufacturers like La-z-boy and Best Home Furnishings offer hundreds of cover choices which you can see and feel at your local store. If you choose a few covers with bold patterns, ask your salesperson to see the chair online in your cover choice. What a wonderful tool this is to visualize the patterned cover on your chair! Remember also, if your favourite chair has exposed wood in it’s design, there are likely different stain options to help you to match your decor at home. With these handy tips in mind, you are sure to choose a recliner that will fast become your favourite piece of furniture. Good luck!

AUTOMOTIVE Windshield Chips Fixing the chip in your windshield is important because the windshield is an integral safety component of your car. As such, the auto industry invests time and resources to research windshield construction, strength, and breakage. This research suggests that the longer you leave a chip in the windshield, the more likely it is to get worse. A chip can turn into a crack at any moment, even while driving. If a crack develops while driving and it obstructs your vision, it could be a major safety hazard.
With over 100 years of Autobody experience, Jody, Brent and Gerald have you covered.
Windshields are made of glass, but they’re a lot stronger than the glass that makes up the windows in your home. In the event of a collision or roll-over, the windshield works to keep you and your family inside the vehicle and helps to support the roof. Up to 30% of the vehicle’s structural strength comes from the windshield. Pacific Chevrolet Buick GMC is a fully ICBC accredited body shop and glass express service and they work on all makes and models. With over 100 years of combined auto body expertise Jody, Brent and Gerald can get your windshield replaced in under 48 hours. Come experience the difference at Pacific Chevrolet Auto body and repair. You will be glad you did!

Woman launches Comox MADD chapter after painful recovery ERIN HALUSCHAK COMOX VALLEY RECORD
It’s been two years since Molly Burton was hit and severely injured during a walk home from Courtenay along Comox (Dyke) Road. “We’re trying to be positive while life is stalled,” explains Leslie Wells, Molly’s mother, over coffee a few days following the anniversary of her daughter’s accident. On Sept. 11, 2013, Burton suffered injuries to her lower right leg and right arm when a driver struck her after the car he was driving hit a concrete barrier, careened across the road and sent her screaming for help for four hours as she was stuck in blackberry bushes off the side of the road. A 17-year-old convicted of hit and run in the case admitted in court that he had been drinking before getting behind the wheel. Burton has had nine surgeries for a shattered right tibia, ankle, humerus and tricep. “I’m always in pain,” she notes. “There are days when it’s low enough that I can ignore it . . . I can walk for a little while. Just recently I got out to do a walk without my wheelchair. On a good day I go for 25 minutes — I do try and walk everyday.” She has just received word late last week she will receive one more surgery on her leg to attempt to alleviate some of the constant pain.

Wells adds it will also help to lower the possibility of arthritis because there are parts of Molly’s leg which are not sitting properly. “There is so much metal in her leg that winters are hard because the metal freezes and it gets really cold, but she walks without a limp. It’s amazing because we weren’t even sure at one point if she was even going to have a leg.” Last Friday, Burton, along with her sister, cousin and family held a toast to recognize the anniversary, but rather than recall memories from the accident, they toasted to how much bone has grown, says Wells. “It’s hard sometimes not to put all of the energy into anger.

Sometimes Molly succumbs to it, but she gets out of it. She’s just so determined.” MADD a great resource Wells recalls shortly after Molly’s accident, she was really angry and frustrated, and wanted to do something constructive. “I contacted Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) because I had all this energy and I wanted to do something. We were invited to the National Conference for Victims of Impaired Driving (hosted by MADD). There were a lot of people to talk with there and it was really nice to connect with other people.” Burton adds the April conference was helpful, and credits MADD’s victim services program. “Their whole organization really helped. I couldn’t have gotten through it without them.” Norm Prince, community leader for MADD Canada, said there has never been a MADD chapter in the Comox Valley, but Prince says there will always be a need. He said the goal for the Valley’s chapter is to educate and develop a presence in the community. Burton notes the first step is to find enough volunteer board members to officially create the chapter, then find volunteers to help sustain, raise funds and run the organization. For more information on the local MADD chapter or to volunteer, contact Leslie Wells at burtonwells@telus.net or Norm Prince at madd_cv@telus.net.

Royal B.C. Museum again voted Canada’s best museum by TripAdvisor For the second year in a row, reviewers on TripAdvisor.ca have picked the Royal B.C. Museum as the best museum in Canada, topping a list that includes the Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver and the Royal Ontario Museum. The top museums are based on the quantity and quality of reviews and ratings for museums gathered during a 12-month period. The Royal B.C. Museum is recognized as the overall winner in the 2015 TripAdvisor’s Travellers’ Choice awards. “To be declared the best museum in Canada for a second year in a row is obviously a huge honour for us and we’re truly delighted,” said Scott Cooper, vice president of collections, knowledge and engagement. “And to know the accolade really comes from our visitors, and not by jury, makes it all the more meaningful.” The museum welcomes almost one million visitors every year and another two million online.

BC NEWS Black Press ◆ PENTICTON
Four-year-old dead, off-duty cop investigated The Independent Investigations Office of B.C. and Penticton RCMP have reported a four-year-old is dead after an off-duty Penticton RCMP officer
struck the young pedestrian crossing the road at a Penticton intersection. Around 5 p.m. Sept. 15, an off-duty police officer driving personal vehicle struck the young Penticton boy who was reportedly crossing the intersection with his family. The child did not survive his injuries.
IIO employees are currently investigating the incident and further resources, including extra investigators and a manager of affected persons to assist the family, are arriving Wednesday morning from Surrey after being notified of the incident on Sept. 15 by the Penticton RCMP around 6 p.m.
Investigators arrived late last night and continued to arrive Wednesday morning. “At this point in time we are calling for witnesses who may have seen anything. This is a busy intersection at approximately 5 p.m. yesterday,” said Ralph Krenz Media spokesperson for the IIO.
The IIO said they could not comment on the particulars at this time. “This is very preliminary and we don’t have a lot of details at this particular point in time,” Krenz said. “We’re still trying to identify those key elements obviously those will be the subject of further investigation.”

HOROSCOPE by Jacqueline Bigar ARIES (March 21-April 19) Be aware of your limitations when dealing with someone at a distance. The two of you are not on the same page when you have distance separating you. Others around you might have the expectation that your bond is the same all the time. Tonight: Act on an odd feeling. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your feelings regarding many people seeking you out are likely to emerge. You could feel popular or annoyed, but either way you might need to make an adjustment to your schedule. Opportunities seem to pop up from out of the blue. Tonight: As you like it. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Pace yourself -- you have a lot of ground to cover. Open up to a swift change in someone’s mood. Be willing to jump on an opportunity that suddenly arises. You might notice that a partner starts acting differently. Find out what is going on. Tonight: Choose something just for you! CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might be disappointed by someone in the morning, but

you’ll manage to soar right above it later in the day. Your imagination could be a little wild. These flights of fancy will be a fun distraction, but they also might set you up to be let down. Tonight: Out late. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Focus more on your home and personal life. A partner might be standoffish. Given some time, however, he or she will see your authenticity and come in closer once more. A conversation could take a serious tone. Step back some. Tonight: Your pad is where it’s at. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You’ll respond from an authentic point of view, which could create somewhat of a ruckus. Be aware of what you are asking of someone. This person might have a strong reaction. Give the situation low priority if you do not want an argument. Tonight: Hang out at home. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might not be in touch with your feelings right now. You’ll want to be appreciated by certain people, but be careful about showing off or making more of a particular happening

than exists. Be realistic. Tonight: Let others make it their treat. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might find yourself in a comfortable spot and feel as if you have been in the very same place before. Use caution with any money agreements made today and in the next few months; they could become burdensome. Tonight: There you are, having a great time! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’ll sense that you are entering a challenging period. Don’t worry -- you have the wherewithal to handle what is coming. Make sure that communication keeps flowing. Don’t allow a disagreement to progress too far today or in the next few weeks. Tonight: Vanish, if you can. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Assess what is happening in a meeting. You might need some supporters easing your way to continue on the path you have decided to pursue. A loved one’s compassion for you is likely to come through in a big way. Tonight: Make sure you have all your ducks in a row. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might need to fill in where others have backed off. You have the strength and the drive to do just that. You could encounter a hassle with a friend that results from a change of plans. Go with the flow, and others will relax soon enough. Tonight: Allow the leader in you to emerge. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Let your imagination flourish as you hit a problem. You’ll sleuth right through it, as long as you can get past conventional thinking. A boss could be very cold; perhaps he or she feels challenged by your abilities. Move past this person’s attitude. Tonight: Be around great music.

HOLST, KENNETH WILLIAM 1951 -2015
Doug passed away suddenly as a result of a marine accident off the coast of Vancouver Island. He was a fisherman, gardener, and cook. His hands were in the earth and his heart was in the ocean. From a young age he valued his friends and could not refuse when asked to help. He had an amazing sense of humour and his laugh was contagious. Doug's last years were spent happily with his Genny rebuilding a home around them and enjoying his life with her. Many are mourning his sudden and tragic passing. Predeceased by his father David White, 1975, grandparents Harry and Ethel White and Tom Richardson. He is survived by his children Jourdan and Noah White, partner Genny Pavan, parents Carol and Boyd Shaw, sisters Lynn (Michael Payne), Lori (Jim Hodder), Lisa (Fred Leavitt) grandma Mabel Richardson, nieces, nephews, uncles, aunts, cousins and many friends. Friends and family are gathering at the Italian Hall in Port Alberni September 26th at 4:00pm to celebrate his life and share their stories.

SEARCH ONGOING
OfďŹ cials believe bodies won’t be the last in the wake of a pair of a vicious wildďŹ res in California BRIAN SKOLOFF AND KRISTIN J. BENDER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIDDLETOWN, Calif. — A body was found Wednesday at the site of a wildfire in the Sierra Nevada foothills, while dogs were used to search for a former police reporter and several other people who authorities fear were killed in a separate, fast-moving blaze in northern California. The unidentified body was found in a home among the ruins of the
wildfire burning 60 miles (96 kilometres) southeast of Sacramento in Amador and Calaveras counties. The death came in addition to an elderly, disabled woman whose body was found Sunday in the ruins of her Lake County home about 100 miles (160 kilometres)north of San Francisco. Authorities were searching nearby for a 69-year-old Leonard Neft who was reported missing by his family. His burned-out car was discovered
on a route he would have used to escape. “We have reports of several others that may have perished in the fire.� Lake County Sheriff Brian Martin said during a tour of the disaster zone with state emergency officials. Neft, who worked for the San Jose Mercury News, last spoke with his family on Saturday. His daughter Joselyn Neft said his wife, Adela Neft, repeatedly called him then to tell him to leave the house, but he told her he didn’t
think the fire was coming toward him. His house was in the same area where 72-year-old Barbara McWilliams was found dead. She told her caretaker she didn’t want to leave her home near Middletown and would be fine. Martin was among the state and local officials who travelled in a convoy of government SUVs to inspect the still-smouldering ruins in the devastated Lake County region.
COURT
Conservatives will appeal face-covering court ruling
Party promises to legislate open-face citizenship ceremonies
STEPHANIE LEVITZ THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — The Conservatives said Wednesday they want the Supreme Court of Canada to consider the issue of whether face coverings can be banned from citizenship ceremonies. This comes in the wake of a Federal Court of Appeal decision that tried to quickly quash that ban so that at least one woman could get the right to vote next month. But whether Zunera Ishaq will be able to vote on Oct. 19, as the appeal court justices hoped, remained unclear as the government did not say whether it also intends to seek a stay of Tuesday’s decision. “At that one very public moment of a public declaration of one’s loyalty to one’s fellow citizens and country, one should do so openly, proudly, publicly without one’s face hidden,” Conservative Jason Kenney told reporters in Calgary Wednesday. “The vast majority of Canadians agree with us and that is why we will be appealing this ruling.”

Ishaq, a devout, 29-year-old Muslim woman, had refused to take part in a citizenship ceremony because she would have to show her face, thanks to a rule change implemented by Kenney in 2011 when he was immigration minister. She challenged the rule in Federal Court and won. The ruling said the policy violated the Citizenship Act, which says candidates for citizenship must be allowed he greatest possible religious freedom when they take the oath. The government appealed but lost. The three-judge appeal panel ruled from the bench, saying they wanted to proceed quickly so that Ishaq could become a citizen in time to vote. In order for her to do that, the Citizenship and Immigration Department must formally invite her to a ceremony. Several are scheduled in Ontario between now and Oct. 19 and one of her lawyers said Wednesday there is no reason she couldn’t be added to the list. The department did not immediately answer questions about whether it would do that,

or if the government would seek a stay of the judgment pending the Supreme Court’s decision on whether to hear the case. “In my view, they either have to give her her citizenship or seek a stay,” said Lorne Waldman, one of Ishaq’s lawyers. “We’re waiting to see what they are planning to do.” People seeking to appeal a decision to the Supreme Court have 60 days from the date of the decision to file the required paperwork. In this case, the government has to act by mid-November. It could take the Supreme Court up to three months to decide whether to hear the case and if it goes to trial, the decision could take months. A Conservative government wouldn’t take any chances, said Denis Lebel, Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Quebec lieutenant. If re-elected, the Conservatives will re-introduce and adopt legislation banning face coverings during citizenship oaths within 100 days, Lebel said. “We have the political belief that this is the way it has to be.”

A powerful magnitude-8.3 earthquake shook Chile’s capital Wednesday night, causing buildings to sway and people to take refuge in the streets. Several strong aftershocks hit within minutes as tsunami alarms sounded in the port of Valparaiso and authorities issued a tsunami alert for the country’s entire coast. The U.S. Geological Survey initially reported the quake at a preliminary magnitude of 7.9
