WATERSHED WORRIESEnvironmentalists fear losing old growth timber will harm city’s water source

KATYA SLEPIANALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

Jane Morden and the Watershed Forest Alliance (WFA) have been fighting against logging at McLaughlin Ridge for close to half a decade now, but

with city council’s unanimous decision on Monday night to support their efforts they may be one step closer to a solution.

Sarah Thomas, a volunteer with the WFA, presented the group’s concerns to city council and called on the city to support the WFA’s efforts to pause the logging at McLaughlin Ridge and have a conversation with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations as well as landowners Island Timberlands.

The company owns McLaughlin Ridge and is legally permitted to log the old growth trees located there. The area represents a few hundred hectares of the 250,000 ha that Island Timberlands owns.

According to Thomas, the Mclaughlin Ridge old growth lands were identified by the

province as areas that should be protected. However by 2004, the lands were removed from the Tree Farm Licence (TFL) and while promises were made to come to some agreement about how the lands would be protected, this never happened.

McLaughlin Ridge, which is about an hour southeast of Port Alberni, is home to a couple of hundred hectares of old growth Douglas Fir as well as the China Creek Watershed, the city’s main water source. Currently, the watershed meets Island Health’s 4-3-2-1-0 water requirements but the concern is that if the old growth is cut down, that might not be the case anymore.

“It’s important to protect [the China Creek Watershed] because you can always treat water but this costs a lot of money and it’s never as good as the original. We would like to make sure that nothing really bad happens to that water,” said Edna Cox of the Save Our Valley Alliance, a public education group.

“It’s designated a community watershed so we’re asked to stay out of the area and yet logging continues,” said Thomas at city council.

While the city does have other, secondary sources of water in Bainbridge Lake and Lizard Lake, China Creek is the best water source that Port Alberni has due to the

filtration that the old growth up McLaughlin Ridge provides.

“The water comes down very, very slowly and it’s really well filtered [by the old growth]. If it comes of a bare slope or washes a lot of silt down then it’s not such high quality water,” said Cox.

If a lot of silt is washed down, the amount of sediments in the water increase, as does the turbidity.

“When there’s turbidity there’s a problem because you can’t even treat the water, it doesn’t help,” Cox said.

The old growth also helps keep the city’s water supply steady throughout the year. With the old growth there, the snowpack up on the ridge melts a little slower.

“The forest acts as a sponge so you don’t have all the water coming down in the spring melt and then no water in the summer.

“We’ve had low water conditions now for over a year; we didn’t have much of a snowpack last year either,” said Jane Armstrong, also from the WFA.

Continued / A19

◆ THE FIRST CUT done at McLaughlin Ridge was four to five years ago, with a large cut occurring in 2011. Jane Morden of Watershed Forest Alliance says 50 per cent of the old growth remains.

◆ PORT ALBERNI gets its water from the China Creek Watershed, located an hour southeast of the city. McLaughlin Ridge is located at the northern edge of the watershed boundary.

◆ THERE ARE TWO water intake sources within the China Creek Watershed: a creek intake off of China Creek at the western edge of the watershed and a lake intake off of Bainbridge Lake, located slightly northwest of the watershed boundary.

◆ THE CITY PRIMARILY uses the creek intake due to its marginally higher water quality. However, if anything were to happen to the creek intake water quality, the city could use the lake intake.Those two water intakes represent the redundancy in the city’s water supply, which means that it is unlikely that the two sources would both be unusable at the same time, city engineer Guy Cicon said.

◆ PORT ALBERNI’S water is treated with chlorine before being stored in reservoirs. The city is currently in phase one of upgrading their water facilities by adding UV disinfection at a cost of $4 million.There is also the possibility of later adding a filtration system at an additional $3 million.

Pley re-elected to lead chiefs

Port Alberni Fire Department Chief Tim Pley has been re-elected as president of the Fire Chiefs’ Association of B.C. for the 2014-2015 term.

The FCABC and city council thanked Pley for his hard work and dedication.

Building forthe bicycle era

Any new developments going up in Port Alberni will soon need to provide bicycle facilities as part of the development plan.

City staff are preparing an amendment to the Official Community Plan that will require developers to provide for bike racks when designing any commercial developments.

The amendment arose at a previous council meeting as part of the city’s new Active Transportation Plan. Council has spoken out in favour of better cycling facilities in general in Port Alberni.

Grinding stones gain support

Port Alberni businesswoman Charlene Patterson says the historic grindstones that are on display at Catalyst Paper deserve a more public location, and city council on Monday agreed with her.

Councillors voted to support Patterson’s bid to move the mill grinding stones to a public location. City staff will add a survey to the city website, www.portalberni.ca, asking residents where they think the stones should be placed.

Harbour Quay needs facelift

City council will add repairs and upgrades to Harbour Quay to its 2015 budget discussions.

InbriefThunderstorm causes havocSUSAN QUINN

ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

A sudden and intense thunderstorm caused havoc around the Alberni Valley, Tuesday morning.

Lightning strikes caused a power outage on Sixth Avenue that had fire crews scrambling to answer alarm calls, and a highly visible forest fire on Arbutus Ridge was reported

numerous times to both 911 and the Coastal Fire Centre.

At the fall fairgrounds, coordinator Ann Siddall stepped onto the covered porch of the Kin Hut to speak with someone when a loud crack startled both of them. Lightning had struck one of the spar poles used for logger sports climbing events, peeling away a

spiraled section of the 34-inch-thick pole like it was paper.

Spears of wood smashed the chain link fence surrounding the water pit and debris could be seen as far away as the animal barns.

The poles are insured, and will be replaced. “We probably won’t have them up for the fair,” Siddall said.

[email protected] QUINN/ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

Alberni District Fall Fair coordinator Ann Siddall examines the logger sports arena, where lightning destroyed one of two climbing spar poles and compromised the other, sendng spears of wood flying 30 feet away.

Province calls on PAFD for forest fire protection


With the Alberni Valley at an extreme fi re danger rating, the Port Alberni Fire Department (PAFD) has been called upon by the province to provide an initial attack response to any fi res in the region.

“The province is on the verge of a wildfi re crisis right now,” fi re Chief Tim Pley told city council on Monday night. “All indications are that we’re going to see a very bad fi re season.”

The city saw some fi res on Tuesday, with lightning hitting the Catalyst Paper steam plant and igniting a gas line.

Pley said that the

fi re was contained by the mill’s staff and was put out swiftly by the PAFD.

The fi re department was also out answering a multitude of false alarms due to fi re alarms going off from power spikes.

Environment Canada reported 135 lightning strikes on Vancouver Island, and alberniweather.ca moderator Chris Alemany said many of them were concentrated in the Alberni Valley

region.While Pley got

the go ahead from council to pursue an agreement with the Wildfi re Management Branch, as of Tuesday he’s not sure if the deal will go through.

“It’s better than a 50-50 chance,” he said, “we think they need to be here [in the Alberni Valley.]”

The agreement would also put the PAFD on standby for 10 hours a day at a rate of $200 per hour, while time spent responding to fi res in the region would bring in $450 per hour. The agreement would also see the PAFD prioritize fi res within Port Alberni.

10th Ave. on books againKATYA SLEPIAN

ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

A non-binding public opinion question regarding the 10th Avenue crossing will be placed on the ballot for the Nov. 15 municipal election after all.

City clerk Davina Hartwell advised council that the question cannot

be changed to a binding referendum because there is not enough time for city staff to complete the necessary geotechnical and design work in order to have an accurate project value by election time.

The non-binding public opinion question would be: “Do you support a

10th Avenue bridge crossing over Roger Creek with funding of $14.6 million from borrowing resulting in tax increases to the average homeowner of approximately $160 a year for 25 years? Yes/No.”

Partners talk LNG plantKATYA SLEPIAN

ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

A liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant might be coming to Sarita Bay courtesy of a partnership between the Huu-ay-aht First Nations and Steelhead LNG.

Steelhead LNG executives and John Jack, an elected councillor from the Huu-ay-aht First Nations made a joint presentation of what they termed an “Opportunity Development Agreement” at a special meeting of council at 2:30 p.m. on Monday afternoon.

The facility, which would be in operation in seven or eight years, would liquefy the natural gas that

would be moved along the pipelines from northern B.C. Steelhead told council that Port Alberni was a good location for this development due to its deepwater port.

According to Steelhead, this could eventually lead to an investment of $30 billion from the facility over its 25-year lifespan.

Jack said that the

Huu-ay-aht agreed to consider the LNG project because Steelhead has been open with them as to what it would entail and has taken their thoughts into consideration.

According to Jack, the Huu-ay-aht want to increase economic development as well as the standard of living in their community and that

“when we do well, everyone else tends to do well [too.]”

Steelhead still has a plethora of studies to complete before the project can get underway, but Jack is hopeful that the project will get the final go-ahead. It’s projected to create 3,000 jobs during construction and 300 jobs afterwards. [email protected]

DAVID WIWCHARSPECIAL TO THE NEWS

A Port Alberni teenager was sentenced Tuesday in adult court to six years in prison for raping a 15-year old exchange student in Roger Creek Park on May 21, 2013.

Thomas Titian, 17, sat silently in the prisoner’s box as Crown Counsel Gordon Baines described an hour long series of violent sexual assaults, and brutal physical assaults against the young girl.

Titian sat hunched over as Judge Peter Doherty described him as “a 6’2, 240 lb. man-child”.

The victim, who cannot be identified, was described as being a fraction of Titian’s size when he pounced on her near the Roger Creek train trestle and dragged her into the woods.

When she was found

an hour later, she was mostly naked, bleeding heavily from head-wounds sustained after Titian beat her with large river rocks.

She was rushed to West Coast General Hospital and soon after airlifted to Victoria General due to the severity of her injuries, and remained hospitalized for two weeks.

She was able to give police a description of her assailant, including the fact that he was wearing a red ball cap, which proved important in arresting him the next day when he returned to the scene.

Titian, who had been in the foster-care system from the age of four because of abusive and alcoholic parents, was also reported to police by his foster mother.

When he returned home around 6 p.m. on May 21, 2013, he took his pants off in

the garage, saying they had gotten muddy at school. Suspicious, the foster mother called the high school where someone refuted his story, and after hearing police were searching for a suspect in a violent sexual assault, she called police.

Titian pleaded guilty to aggravated sexual assault and choking to overcome resistance. A charge of attempted murder was later stayed.

Both Crown Counsel and Defense Counsel Stephen Littley agreed that the maximum three-year sentence for youth was not appropriate in this case, and said Titian should be sentenced as an adult for six years.

In sentencing, Judge Doherty called the attack “a sustained, vicious, repeated, horrifying assault”.

Citing the volumes of victim

impact statements, psychological reports, and criminal assessments that concluded Titian might not be treatable, Doherty said this was one of the most thoroughly reported youth matters he had ever seen.

The court heard that Titian was tortured as an infant and toddler by his alcoholic parents, which is where “the ticking time-bomb that is Mr. Titian was made”, said Doherty.

“He is a highly dangerous, violent individual who is likely to reoffend.”

Titian will serve the first two years of his six-year sentence in a youth detention center, until he reaches the age of 18, when the court can apply to have him moved to a federal prison.

Teen sentenced as an adult in Roger Creek assault case


V ICTORIA – The B.C. government’s intentions for the

Agricultural Land Reserve have been clarified by a public consultation that proposes new commercial and industrial uses on farmland.

Political watchers may recall that this was the hill the NDP was prepared to die on this spring. It was going to be a farmland looting spree for right-wing property developers and all hope of “food security” would be dashed.

As I attempted to explain at the time, the changes have little or nothing to do with ALR exclusions. Now a discussion paper poses a series of questions, some of which illustrate the need to bring farmland regulations up to date.

The first one deals with restrictions on retail sales, a case study in arbitrary state control. There is

a strict maximum floor space. A minimum one half of retail sales must be produced on that farm. Food packing, preparation and processing are similarly restricted.

This requires multiple duplicate operations of questionable viability. It brings to mind Mao Tse Tung’s Great Leap Forward, where farmers all had little iron smelting furnaces out back to make tools. But I digress.

“Amongst other things,” the discussion paper says, “lessening the restrictions on on-farm processing could allow the establishment of abbatoirs (large, small or mobile) on farms, to serve surrounding cattle, game or poultry farms.” Then there’s cheese, fruit juice and even medical marijuana products.

And did you know that wineries and cideries are

allowed on farmland but breweries, distilleries and meaderies aren’t? (Mead is made from honey, and doesn’t have to be drunk from a bronze mug while wearing a horned helmet.)

Now that we’ve discovered that breweries don’t have to be giant urban industrial plants

producing mediocre lager that all tastes the same, possibilities abound.

On-farm wine and cider sales have similarly quaint retail space and product origin restrictions. The government proposes to

allow sales of products not made on site, as long as they’re made in B.C.

This could make more local retail beverage co-ops viable. Or it could spawn a wave of unregulated rural liquor stores that create chaos on country roads. You

decide.On a more serious note,

there are a couple of questions about changes to the newly created “zone two,” the Interior, Kootenay and North regions. One repeats the government’s intention to open up non-farm use rules to allow certain oil and gas service functions on farmland.

This is to reflect the reality already on the ground in the Northeast.

What other non-farm activities it may entail is not yet known, as the consultation and regional meetings continue until Aug. 22.

There are proposals to bypass the Agricultural Land Commission for certain kinds of farmland subdivision in zone two. These are where the subdivided parcels are a quarter section (160 acres) or bigger, or where they are divided by a road or waterway.

And finally there are proposed exemptions fromALC scrutiny of leases, to allow “intergenerational transfer.”

EDITORIAL

Fire coverage heating up

It is ironic that the day after Port Alberni’s fire chief outlines a request from the provincial government for the city’s fire department to offer initial attack services in case of forest fires, numerous lightning strikes ignited tinder-dry areas in the Beaufort Range.

The fire department was slammed with calls just after 11 a.m. including a fire at Catalyst Paper and multiple alarms activated on Sixth Avenue after power line insulators were hit. An extremely visible forest fire atop Arbutus Ridge, across Alberni Canal from Harbour Quay, prompted the first ‘initial attack’ call, as the PAFD was called.

(Helicopters flying for Island Timberlands extinguished the fire with bambi buckets of water and an initial attack crew dropped on site.)

While the forest fires prompted the ‘I told you so’ brigade to drag the missing Martin Mars waterbombers into the fray, the issue is so much bigger than an historic aircraft tugging at our collective heartstrings.

The response time once calls about the Arbutus Ridge fire lit up both the 911 and Coastal Fire Centre’s phone lines was less than an hour—impressive considering the weather and location.

Also extremely fortunate. If torrential rain hadn’t accompanied the thunderstorm, that small lightning strike could have ignited a far larger problem.

Forestry firefighting resources are stretched too thin. We are approaching a crisis in B.C. on the doorstep of the worst fire season in recent history.

Sitting on an island nautical miles away from resources is not a pleasant feeling. It’s time for the government to come up with an adequate plan for keeping our forests safe in fire season. Or at least minimizing the damage.

‘As I attempted to explain

at the time, the changes have little or nothing to

do with ALR exclusions.’

B.C. playing with forest fire

To the Editor,At Monday’s Port

Alberni City Council meeting fire Chief Tim Pley informed the community that the BC Forest Service had lodged an urgent request for PAFD to be put on standby in case it is needed ‘for initial attack’ on fires in and around our area.

This leaves the very real possibility of PAFD services being called away to a forest fire, leaving local response to homes much slower, or that a forest fire that occurs nearby will not get any initial attack response at all if the PAFD is busy elsewhere.

I will not venture to guess which would be worse.

We were warned months ago that this could be a bad fire season and we are seeing that now. The forest service is quite obviously under resourced.

Now our community is on the hook including precious taxpayer resources in fire equipment and we are potentially left defenceless from forest or home fires.

And yet there the Hawaii Mars and Philippine Mars

waterbombers sit in drydock.

Last month 19,205 people around BC, including almost 2500 residents of Port Alberni, signed a petition for the Mars to be returned to standby duty. They are two of the most formidable initial attack fire bombers ever conceived, both certified and ready to fly for many more years, and one recognized as one of the most advanced urban interface fire suppressors in the world.

Not only should we bring back the Mars, in light of obvious and continuing changes in B.C.’s climate we should be permanently beefing up our fire preparedness, mitigation, and

resources.The current system

seems complete ad-hoc, patronage based, and ultimately dangerous and costly. We are playing with fire.

Chris Alemany,Port Alberni

A little peace, if you please

To the Editor,It has been

announced that the right-wing government in Kyiv, Ukraine, will be receiving military equipment from our own federal government. Those supplies are meant for action at the border with Russia. This is close to an act of war, one of the worst instances of provocation and foreign interference by Canada in many

years.In addition,

Canadian trade sanctions with Russia have been increased and Russia has now responded. Yet hurting exporters of Canadian foodstuffs bound for Russia will do nothing to end the civil war in Ukraine. Trade sanctions in general are economically unwise and politically dubious.

In fact it would be instructive to look at the last case of such meddling in a civil war, Libya. The country of Libya is now controlled by roving bands of militants aligned with al-Qaeda, not the result we were sold on when we sent our air force to join other NATO countries there. Diplomats are fleeing Libya and the Tripoli airport is unsafe.

Up to the Dayton Accords of 1995 Canada was a peacekeeping nation, and that is a policy worth returning to.

Colin Frazer,Port Alberni

Whither thou goest, peace?

To the Editor,Commemorating the

“Great War” of 1914 -1918 is an excellent way to show our

respect and gratitude to the valiant Canadians who fought and died a century ago.

There is however one thing that sticks in my craw. During these sombre reflective events, politicians are attracted to the limelight and inevitably read carefully crafted speeches—liberally sprinkled with emotive words such as valour, sacrifice and pride—but fail to mention the world’s march into that military madness was avoidable.

In the aftermath of the so-called war to end all wars, short-sighted leaders in the victorious countries imposed excessively punitive reparations on their impoverished adversaries and arbitrarily redrew the maps in Europe and the Middle East for their own economic benefit. Their intolerable arrogance planted bitter seeds in the hearts of the vanquished.

A generation later, Hitler would nurture those seeds with his Nazi propaganda and turn deep-seated resentment into apocalyptic fury.

This week’s question:Are you hopeful that the government and

BC Teachers Federation will end the teachers’ strike before Labour Day?

Should the City of Port Alberni demand that the provincial government protect our watershed?

Yes – 90.5% No – 9.5%

? !

From / A8What that means is

retiring farmers won’t have to plead for state permission to remain on their own property. Another exemption would “encourage the use of otherwise unfarmed land by existing or new farmers.”

NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham, who circulated a photo of herself with a samurai sword in a theatrical “Kill Bill 24” campaign, continues

to insist that these changes open up 90 per cent of ALR land for “development.”

It’s a hypocritical as well as a misleading statement, since a portion of her own Saanich farm property is rented to a successful craft gin distillery.

Seventh Day Adventist Church

“Prayer prevents sin, sin prevents prayer” - I don’t remember who said this but it was surely a person of wisdom who walked with God. Christians experience that when we spend more time in prayer, sin has less power over us. Con-versely, when we have done wrong and know it, our guilt can keep us away from coming to God in prayer. It’s been that way from the beginning when Adam and Eve sinned in the garden. God called to them and they hid themselves among the trees of the garden. Fortunately for us, God doesn’t wait for us to come to Him, He comes to us. He wants to be close to us and assures us of His forgiveness as He also helps to cleanse us of the sins that have hurt our rela-tionship with Him.

Safety Tip:There are many ways to show courtesy behind the wheel, including allowing space for other drivers to change lanes or manouevre. Driver courtesy is contagious, so wave at the next driver who lets you merge

in front of them – they may just pay it forward to another driver.

Question of the WeekWith the exception of Alberta and Quebec, drivers across Canada can be served with an Immediate Roadside Prohibition (IRP) if they blow 0.05 mg/100ml at the roadside. Should those two provinces fall into line with other provinces?

Splish, splash diesel dash to ride a waveSummer. What a wonderful time of year, heading out on the open road with family.Okay, it isn’t all fun and games, especially with 11-year-old and nine-year-old boys bickering in the back seat, but for the most part it can be enjoyable. For the first time I decided recently to take a road trip to one of my many car-related events. Usually I fly to a vehicle launch, but this time I thought I would take some extra time, and the family, on the road from Vancouver to Portland, Oregon. While I attended the 2015 Dodge Challenger event at the Port-land International Raceway, my family could take in some of the local sites. Day OneThe plan was to break things up a bit, instead of six solid hours behind the wheel of the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel. Thanks to the Nexus card, crossing the border took all of 10 minutes. The next stop was the Boeing plant in Everett, Washington. This location was first developed in the 1960 when the world’s first Jumbo Jet was being developed, the iconic 747. I take over 100 flights a year but I’m still impressed with the machines that make it all happen, especially the 747. I wouldn’t visit the factory tour on the weekend again. There is no action, just half-built planes sitting around. I found it all amazing but my two boys – Jack and Charlie – didn’t share my enthusiasm.Day Two After a night in Redmond, Washington, we continued our trek to Portland, the land of tax-free shopping and the Evergreen Wings and Waves Waterpark. The waterpark just outside of Portland, in McMinnville, has a real 747 on the roof with water slides that exit the fuselage, pass through the roof of the building and splashing into a huge waterpark complex. This, along with promise of Portland’s famous Voodoo Doughnuts, kept everyone on track for the three-hour Jeep ride.

The Grand Cherokee is a fantastic ve-hicle for an active family of four, there is plenty of room in the back seat, and I never heard one complaint. My wife loved the solid ride and I kept an eye on the fuel economy. At the end of our run to Portland, the average consumption was 8.0L/100km. Pretty nice stuff for a truck with 420 lb.-ft. of torque.Day ThreeThis was the day I had to work. Poor me, trying out the all-new Dodge Challenger Hellcat on the track with all 707 hp. It’s a tough gig. While I was shooting for Driving TV, my wife took the Grand Cherokee to the Waterpark for a day. I checked in throughout the day and the comments were universal.“This is the best waterpark ever!” As I wrapped up the day at the track, I did get a frantic call from my wife “The

Jeep has lost power, I can’t drive over 30 mph, what should I do?”The gang at Chrysler jumped to attention and before I knew it, I was on the road with another Jeep Diesel and being accompanied by two PR reps in a 2015 Challenger. From the track to my stranded family took over an hour; in total they sat at a Shell station for two hours waiting. To pass the time, the kids ate what they wanted from the Shell convenience store and taking “selfies” seemed to do the trick. Once we arrived, we realized a Dodge dealership was literally five minutes up the road!Day FourWith a belly full of Voodoo Doughnuts, including Dou-ble Bubble flavour, fruit loops, coco puffs and good old chocolate, we were ready to go. It took a while for our repaired Jeep to arrive so on we went to sample more tax-free shopping and sample some of Portland’s many food trucks. When the Jeep did arrive, it turns out the Diesel went into “limp-mode” enabling the driver to get to the next dealership. The fix was a

simple computer program flash, which took no time at all. Regardless, we were on the road, heading to Seattle for some underground fun.

Day FiveAfter a great night in Seattle, we woke up to rain, lots of rain, so we went underground to visit the old, hidden city of Seattle. These tours take visitors on a walk through the ruins of Seattle after the massive fire of 1886 and the rebuilding that took place. Seattle is built on top of the old city; there are tunnels and abandoned sections of buildings there to explore. Time to head home. The Grand Cherokee never set another wheel wrong; it was fantastic in the heavy rain and very solid on the highway. After 1,300 plus kilometres behind the wheel, I averaged 8.5L/100km.

It is midday, the sun is shining, the temperature is 30

degrees Celsius and rising and here I am again typing out this column. Thank heaven for a cool basement.

This month we ordered two cords of wood from an ad in the newspaper. On delivery day we

received a phone call to say that they could not fit into our driveway at the back of the house and could they dump the firewood on the front lawn. I sent them around to the alley in the back and asked them to dump the wood in the middle of the alley.

Then I ran down to the shelter, walked in and announced, “I have $40 dollars to pile two cords of

wood for whoever wants the job.” Immediately I had a chap who said that he used to deliver wood and knew how to stack it, so off we went. He did an excellent job—well worth the money.

Les and I are selling in the “Art and Photography in the Garden” show and sell at the Milner Gardens on Aug. 9–10.

‘We really need to have water’: councillorFrom / A3

Armstrong is not sure what the future holds for Port Alberni’s water supply, but she thinks that with climate change happening that drought conditions will stick around and that instead of rain throughout the year, the watershed will be filled up by occasional huge downpours.

[“If this happens] the forest is a natural solution for helping to control the flow of water,” Armstrong said.

Clearcutting also has another, more immediate danger; landslides. In 2006, clearcuts in the Beauforts, followed by a large amount of precipitation, were thought to have caused landslides that affected Beaver Creek’s water and brought gravel in debris into people’s homes.

There’s a chance that clearcutting on McLaughlin Ridge could lead to the same.

While Island Timberlands is required to replant trees that they cut down—and states that they typically do so within nine months —the high elevation of McLaughlin Ridge means that it will be generations until those replacement trees are big enough to serve any purpose, says Morden.

“This area is at a higher elevation, we’re talking about a thousand metres up, so it’s not going to grow back at a fast rate. Up there, you can have a 20-year-old tree that’s not anywhere much above your waist, said Morden, “and when the roots start to decompose from the huge [old growth trees,] then your chances of landslides are going to increase.”

In an e-mailed statement, Morgan Kennah, Manager of Sustainable Timberlands and Community Affairs for Island Timberlands, said that they “have and continue to work

cooperatively with the city to ensure water quality is maintained in China Creek. In cooperation with the Ministry of Environment, we have installed a continuous water quality monitoring station in the watershed to ensure we meet the applicable water quality objectives.”

However, Cox doesn’t think that this is

good enough because while “drinking water is protected [that] protection will take precedence when there’s an imminent threat, when it’s basically too late.”

According to Coun. Cindy Solda, the issue has been brought up at the Association of Island and Coastal Communities (AVICC), the Union of British Columbia

Municipalities (UBCM) and the Alberni-Clayquot Regional District (ACRD) and that a main goal of these government-led bodies is to change the way private land is regulated.

“One main goal is to get private land and Crown to be the same… we want to have more say,” Solda said.

“[Water] is a human

right, we really need to have water,” said Coun. Wendy Kerr, “the forest companies have to know that they don’t own that water, they’re only renting the space, nobody owns this planet but we need to start taking care of

it now.”With that, Kerr raised

motions to give city council’s support to the WFA and support the organization’s request to pause the logging at McLaughlin Ridge as well as to request a meeting between

council, the WFA, Island Timberlands and the provincial forestry ministry.

City council carried the motion to applause from meeting [email protected]

Residents rally to protect waterKATYA SLEPIAN

ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

With chants of “water is our right” from the 70- to 80-strong crowd in front of Port Alberni’s city hall, former Hupacasath chief councillor Judith Sayers sent a message to the government that logging in watersheds is not OK.

Sayers was just one of the local First Nations, Port Alberni residents, and environmental activists who spoke at a rally outside of city hall on Argyle Street at 11 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 7.

They had gathered to protest the logging of the China Creek Watershed by Island Timberlands. The protest was organized by a grassroots group calling itself Citizens for a Local Economy and received support from drivers who honked their horns as they drove by.

“We are all here because we care about our water,” Sayers said, “and getting together and talking about this sends that message.”

Torrence Coste, Vancouver Island Campaigner for the Wilderness Committee, told protesters that “too much of the forest here [on Vancouver Island] has been ripped off, liquidated and degraded permanently at the expense of

ecosystems, local communities and local First Nations... huge swaths of land are controlled not by the people who live there, not by the people who require these environments to be healthy and clean but by companies like Island Timberlands.”

Sayers also called out city council for not showing up to the rally

“This is an election year for the city council, let’s make it an election issue.”

Protesters threatened direct action up at the logging site on McLaughlin Ridge if they did not hear back from city councilwithin a week.

“If we need to go lie down in front of the logging trucks, let’s do that,” said Sayers.

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Tuesday was quite a day on the Alberni Golf Course for the ladies’ golf groups. We got called off the course for thunder and lightning. After an hour and a half delay, back out we went.

The nine- hole ladies missed all the excitement of the storm: they were already finished and having coffee and muffins when the storm hit.

For the nine-hole ladies low handicap group Claudia Romaniuk won low gross, Marilyn Merwin won low net.

There was a three-

way tie for the lowest putts between Katy Lekich, Lee Anne Van Lent and Kath Stolth.

In the high handicap group, Lorraine Wilson won low gross, Betty Adair won low net and Diane Hoadley had the low putts.

Pars were had by Kelly Gauthier, Romaniuk, and Stolth.

In the 18-hole ladies group, Carol Bouchard won low gross with 87.

There was a tie between Carol Hastings and Katie Cyr for low net with 69.

In the KP challenge Sandra Simpson won on number 1 and Shannon Haggard won on number 10.

The special prize was won by Bouchard.

STAGES YOUTH THEATRE

Stages youth theatre creates a welcome and fun environment for children ages 6 and up to learn about the theatre, play theatre games and act in a show! Classes are weekly and include 2 scheduled shows, one in early December and the last in early June. Also, this year we have continued with the Stages advanced class where older students put on an entire play wherein they act and crew the whole show!!

STAGES YOUTH THEATRE CLASSES REGISTRATIONAugust 26 and 27 from 3-6 pm

Auditions are required to gain a spot in the advanced class that runs twice a week. If interested, come prepared with a monologue memorized.

Auditions are during the above registration dates and times.


From / A15We drove to

Qualicum to deliver our auction pieces for the Milner Gardens silent auction, and while at the gardens we walked around and had a good look.

Here is your answer to “ How do I shoot fireworks with a digital camera?” Of course if you have a point and shoot camera with a “Fireworks Scene” mode then that would be your choice. Otherwise you must have a camera that you can shoot in MANUAL or even better a camera that will shoot in BULB (BULB means that the camera lens will stay open as long as the shutter is pressed).

You should also have a sturdy tripod, either a cable release,

electronic release, or a wireless remote, a medium length telephoto lens such as a 70mm up to a 100mm, fully charged batteries, and a good location.

The best shots would be with something of interest in the foreground such as the town lit up, the Orange Bridge, or the wooden Welcome Figures down at Victoria Quay.

The exposure on BULB would be ISO 400…f16 (try f16, if the fireworks are too dark then open up to f11); make sure that the autofocus function is turned off; and manually set the focus on infinity. Take the first shot, then gently cover the lens with your hand or a lenscap. Remove the hand or lenscap

to take the second shot on the same photo. Gently cover the lens with your hand or a lenscap and if you are daring, remove the hand or lenscap and take a third firework shot on the same photo. Try to arrange the double or triple shots so that the fireworks do not overlap. Two or three bursts on one shot are adequate. The best fireworks images would be at the beginning before the sky fills up with smoke.

Any questions? E-mail me at [email protected] or see me online at www.silverstonephotos.com.

Norman Silverstone teaches photography through North Island College.
