SUSAN QUINN/ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

Gittan Klemetsrud prepares to unload donations of water, fresh fruit and granola bars at the Thunderbird fire base at the AV Regional Airport, Monday.

Community rallies to lend a hand to firefightersSUSAN QUINN

ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

Gittan Klemetsrud, like so many other people living in the Alberni Valley, is grateful for the firefighters currently battling the 160-hectare Dog Mountain fire southwest of Port Alberni.

So this week she did something to show her appreciation. On Monday Klemetsrud collected donations of food to drop off at the Thunderbirds fire base at the Alberni Valley Regional Airport.

“They’re risking their lives

to put out the fire. The least we can do to show support to them is this,” she said. “We are a community with a heart and in a crisis like this people need to come together and help each other.”

The first load she brought included cases of water, fresh fruit and granola bars that Quality Foods manager Gord Groves and Save-On-Foods store supervisor Riley Kanigan both donated.

Naesgaard’s Farm Market donated fruit, Serious Coffee sent along sandwiches and muffins, The Donut Shop gladly donated three dozen

doughnuts, and Steampunk Cafe and Coffee House also made a donation, she said.

“It’s definitely appreciated,” one firefighter said after returning to the base via helicopter. “We’re supplying ourselves. We’re out there with trail mix,” she said.

Klemetsrud is not the only person helping out the firefighters—Amanda Ruel, whose brother is one of the firefighters, is organizing donations from other grocery stores, restaurants and private individuals. She can be reached on Facebook.

Dog Mountain fire grows

KATYA SLEPIANALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

Coastal Fire Centre crews were planning to set controlled fires in an attempt to get the Dog Mountain fire under control late this week.

The forest fire had already grown to 160 hectares by Tuesday night, according to Sproat Lake Volunteer Fire Dept. Chief Wade Hepp.

No firefighting helicopters or planes flew on Tuesday due to the smoke conditions. The lack of wind allowed the smoke to settle in the area, obscuring visibility.

“They are intending to do a staged ignition,” B.C. Coastal Fire Centre fire

information officer Marg Drysdale said before the News’ presstime.

“They’re going to burn off in small stages. They’ll light an area, wait 20 minutes, light an area, wait 20 minutes.”

“A fire break was made near the isthmus,” Hepp said. “Ministry of Forest was doing to do a back burn [July 7] but the weather did not cooperate.”

They were to try to do a burn again Wednesday.

The Hawaii Mars waterbomber sits in the water of Sproat Lake for the first time since 2013.

Hawaii Mars waterbomber awaits flying ordersKATYA SLEPIAN

ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

A long-awaited sight greeted Alberni Valley residents on Tuesday when the Hawaii Mars waterbomber glided onto the calm Sproat Lake waters.

What will happen to it next however, is

unknown.It’s in the water a

day earlier than CEO Wayne Coulson had planned.

Maintenance crews have spent weeks

working to get the Mars—which last saw action in the summer of 2013 —operational for the training of Chinese government pilots meant to start on July 20 and run until the end of the month.

Coulson said that he’s been in talks to

possibly change that date if the Mars is needed to fight fires here in B.C.

Test flights for the Mars were planned for Wednesday afternoon, after the News went to press.

“We’ll probably be starting to run the airplane [Wednesday]

afternoon,” he said. “What we do is we

test the systems. We have to do all our safety procedures for emergency. That takes several hours where we go up and we take off and land on three engines or we’ll land on two engines.

From / A3The reasoning

behind the purposeful burns is that the area is going to burn anyway. The fire, which started early Saturday afternoon, has grown over 100 times its original size since then. It was up to five ha by 6 p.m. Saturday, 35 ha by Sunday morning and 45 ha by that night. It then more than doubled in size by Monday and grew to 125 ha by Tuesday afternoon.

“This area is going to burn regardless,” Drysdale said. “If we do it as a controlled burn then they have a better handle on where the fire goes and what it does.”

Doing a controlled burn allows the ignition specialist and the fire crews to keep the intensity of the burn down to a moderate level.

“Instead of having some really hot weather come in and it completely taking off, they can actually control where it’s going and what it’s doing to a certain extent. We want the fire to burn at the same intensity as the fire is currently burning at. It’s a

moderate intensity ground fire right now which means that if you’re standing on flat ground, it would probably be to your shoulder.”

Control lines have been set up to limit the extent of the controlled burn.

A control line is a constructed or natural fire barrier. It’s a treated fire perimeter,” said Drysdale. “They’re drawing their lines in the sand and they’re working within those lines.”

“When they do go ahead and do a burn-off, they know where it’s going.”

The province

currently has 33 firefighters on scene for the Dog Mountain fire and the 20-person Port Alberni-based Thunderbirds crew arrived on scene last night. Structural

protection units have also been deployed to ensure

that no more cabins are destroyed. One uninhabited cabin has already been lost.

A wildfire smoke advisory was still in affect for Port Alberni and much of the south and east of Vancouver Island by press time.

The Ministry of Environment statement cautions individuals to avoid strenuous outdoor activities and contact

a health care provider if they experience coughing, difficulty breathing or chest pains. Infants, those with underlying medical conditions and the elderly are most at risk.

The Alberni-Clayoquot Regional district has set up a level one emergency operations centre and declared a local state of emergency and an evacuation order is only for the Dog Mountain area. Sproat Lake residents are encouraged to keep a bag packed with 72 hours of essentials should the situation worsen.

Catching additional fires early is key to keeping them from getting out of control. Call 1-800-663-5555 (*55555 on your cell phone) to report a forest fire and 911 to report a structure fire. Lake residents should keep their properties clear of dry, flammable material.

From / A3“Just practicing with

the airplane.”The four-engine

Hawaii Mars has been added onto the Coulson Group’s standing offer with the B.C government.

“What we have is called a standing offer for our helicopters. We have them with every province across Canada and every state in the U.S.,” said Coulson. “We have contracts so if some state or province gets a fire we phone them up and say ‘okay, do you need some help?’

If the Coulsons’ aerial fire fighting fleet is needed, then having contracts signed allows them to get into the air and on the scene faster.

“The contract’s already signed and

all they do is issue a work order. There’s minimal paperwork, they can just order the resource and off they go.”

The Hawaii Mars has been added to B.C. standby fleet but Coulson cautions that it’s not an exclusive.

“Maybe Alberta, they’ve shown interest in it. Maybe Saskatchewan. Then we’ll decide if we want to deploy it to another province if B.C. doesn’t need the aircraft,” said Coulson. “That’s our choice... we could put it somewhere else.”

Coulson said that as of July 7 there had been no word from the province on getting the Mars into the air.

“We haven’t heard anything

from government today (July 7),” said Coulson. “We’ve been trying to get a conference call...to really understand what they want to do with it. As you can imagine, it’s highly politically charged and maybe they haven’t exactly decided.”

According to an email from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources Operations, “the ministry has now added the Martin Mars to the master standing offer it has with Coulson Group. The earliest the Martin Mars could be used is Thursday. The decision on whether to use the Mars will be made on operational needs by wildfire professionals.”

Port Alberni fire crews were called out to a house fire near Ninth Avenue and Cedarwood during the early afternoon of Sunday, July 5.

Fire Chief Tim Pley said that they call originally came into dispatch as a barbecue on fire.

“We arrived to find that the back deck—which was all wood—was fully involved,” said Pley. “The fire had burned up the back wall into the attic through the soffits.”

Fire crews were able to quickly extinguish the back deck and control the fire in the attic.

“The fire got fairly well deep-seated in the attic so we had to get inside, open some ceiling and make a big hole in the gable side

of the house to finally extinguish it.”

The fire was under control within half an hour and extinguished in another 45 minutes.

Pley said that the investigation into the cause of the fire was

not yet completed.“I don’t know the

details of whether it was a barbecue where it started, that’s just what the dispatcher message was.”

With the Alberni Valley in an extreme

fire hazard rating and ash from the still blazing Dog Mountain fire hanging in the air, Pley said residents need to be cautious barbecuing.

“You should never have a barbecue

against a wall of a house, under the eaves of the roof,” said Pley. “If anything happens or there’s a problem you give the fire a real good opportunity to get into the attic and the

soffits.”Clean, well

maintained barbecues are less likely to flare up and the gas valve should always be off if the barbecue is not in use, he said.

But even away from the barbecue, Pley said people need to be more careful than ever in these conditions.

“Make every effort not to use open flames for anything. Try to limit the use of barbecues, be diligent with smoking materials, anything with an open flame,” said Pley.

“Conditions right now are just too volatile to be careless.”

If a fire does start, Pley said that people need to call 911 immediately.

“If you feel like [the barbecue] is out of control then closing the lid is one step. If it’s safe to do so then

close the gas.”Pley cautions

against trying to move a flaming object.

“Whether it’s a pot or a barbecue, don’t try to move it,” he said.

“We’ve seen people try to throw their barbecues off the deck and it complicates things. It makes it bigger and worse.”

“We’d like people to keep their eyes and senses open for any uncontrolled fires. If you can see fire, report it right away,” he said.

“The small brush fires we’re seeing need to be controlled right away because they’re growing very quickly.”

JERRY FEVENS/SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

A Port Alberni Fire Department firefighter battles the blaze at a house fire on Sunday, July 5.


V ANCOUVER–Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau

came to Vancouver last week to unveil his environmental platform for the Oct. 19 federal election.

Trudeau promised an overhaul of the National Energy Board and a vaguely defined intention to work with provinces to impose a “price” on carbon dioxide emissions across the country.

Trudeau’s media tour took him to the Burnaby facilities of General Fusion, where, like Premier Christy Clark a few weeks before, he stood at his podium before a prototype fusion reactor. This massive octopus of pistons and wires is an attempt to capture the nuclear reaction that powers the Sun and other stars, containing its fury within steel walls and magnetic fields.

The old joke about controlled fusion is that every 20 years, scientists tell us it’s just 20 years away. If it ever is developed, such a process could quickly put an end to our hand-wringing about fossil fuels, largely replacing them with endless, emission-free energy.

This is the type of technological revolution that Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s officials indicated would be needed, after Canada announced a pledge with other G7 leaders to make their economies carbon-free by 2100. That’s right, some time within the next 85 years.

Clark visited General Fusion in May to announce her new climate action advisory panel, which has to give her a plan to take to Paris next December. That’s the next big United

Nations climate summit, where Trudeau hopes to lead a delegation of premiers to stop the flow of “fossil awards” given to Canada by people in polar bear suits.

Asked about the fusion reactor she had just toured, Clark laughed off the question, comparing it to the “flux capacitor”

used for time travel in the Michael J. Fox movie Back to the Future.

Trudeau recently told university students that we need to change our concepts of time and space, and he didn’t seem

to be kidding.The point here for

voters is that all these leaders, Harper, Trudeau, Clark and many others, are talking down to you. You aren’t sophisticated enough to understand this climate business.

The Pope has weighed in, assuring us that carbon trading systems are not

going to cut it. This is a rebuke to California, Quebec and the European Union, where effective carbon trading is, like controlled fusion, just around the corner.

Pope Francis warned that our “throwaway culture” views nature “solely as a source of profit and gain” and so people won’t voluntarily do the right thing. (The results of the Metro Vancouver transit plebiscite could be interpreted this way, if you ignore the bumbling, waste and political posturing that did it in.)

The Pope concludes that there is “an urgent need” for a “true world political authority” to impose order on the greedy capitalist humans that infest our beautiful planet. Presumably this would be the run by the UN, so my advice is to start hoarding candles and cat food now.

B.C.’s frozen carbon tax has ceased to have much effect, with gasoline consumption back up over 2008 levels amid the usual volatility of prices.

EDITORIAL

Only you can prevent fires

Smokey the Bear had it right, all those years ago: only you can prevent forest fires.

As of this writing, more than 180 forest fires were burning in British Columbia, including one yet to be contained on Dog Mountain, southwest of Port Alberni.

While some of those fires were caused by lightning strikes, many of those gaining

media attention—including Dog Mountain and Tsulquate River in Port Hardy—were ‘human caused’.

That phrase can mean a few things: errantly tossed cigarette butt, spark from an ATV or other motorized vehicle, campfire from campers

defying a provincial campfire ban.It’s the cigarette butts and campfires

that are causing the ‘what the heck?!’ moments in this tinder-dry, record-breaking heat kind of summer.

In Surrey, for example, the Surrey Fire Service received 60 calls in a 12-hour period for grass fires, bark mulch fires and boulevard fires—when in the same time period last year, they received one. A spokesperson attributed this high call rate with “the careless disposal of smoking material.”

With drought conditions so early in the season, we figure it has to be a no-brainer to toss a cigarette out the car window, or light a campfire during a ban. Common sense, however, is not prevailing.

Smokey the Bear was an American advertising campaign designed to educate the public about the dangers of fire in the forest at a time when most able-bodied men were being sent to war in the Second World War. The memorable slogan was written in 1947 and is still relevant today.

Perhaps it’s time we listened to it.— Alberni Valley News

Mailbag: Feedback on Martin Mars waterbombers

Mars wasted sitting idle

To the Editor,Western Canada is

burning, one of the worst fire seasons on record. Right now in our backyard, there is a forest fire at Sproat Lake. Sitting idle close by sits the mighty Mars Bomber, just awaiting for the call to duty.

I have lost all respect for the provincial Liberals, which I have often supported. This lack of use of this readily available important resource is not acceptable.

The longer the fires burn, the more in danger and loss are our firefighters, residents, wildlife and our important natural resources.

Walt Kusmin,Port Alberni

Mars could only help with fires

To the Editor,The B.C. provincial

forest firefighting budget is almost used up and it is only the second week of summer.

Well it’s no wonder.I witnessed first-

hand today five small helicopters with monsoon buckets, two Electra water bombers and a

spotter plane waste a ton of that budget in a futile effort to try and control or put out what started as a very small forest fire at Sproat Lake. The only piece of equipment that even put a dent in it was a heavy lift helicopter that came too late and left too early.

To have two large but not very versatile aircraft fly around in circles many times before finally depositing their minimal load of retardant on the fire and then to fly away to Abbotsford or Comox for another load while the wind-whipped fire grew and grew was a complete waste of money and endangered homes and lives. Meanwhile a spotter aircraft circled all afternoon at further expense but with no firefighting

capability.The ministry of

Forests, Lands and Natural Resources called the Martin Mars water bombers old, obsolete and not as effective as their other fire-fighting aircraft. I strenuously beg to differ.

The Martin Mars could have put this fire out effectively and easily in much less than the two-and-a-half-hour response time of the province’s new “elite” firefighting planes. It still could put the fire out effectively in short order. These coastal forest fires is exactly what it is designed for.

The Electra tanker cannot attack the fire effectively in steep terrain and their one hour turn-around time versus the 10-minute load and drop times of the Martin Mars is night and day in fire

suppression. Not to mention

that one drop from the Mars would put more water and foam on the fire than all the government’s helicopters and half the Electras did in eight hours Saturday afternoon.

It is too late to employ the Martin Mars on this fire but the ministry needs to swallow its pride and engage the Coulson fire-fighting equipment (Mars and heavy lift helicopters) as soon as possible for the balance of this summer. The cost not to will be far higher than doing such in forests, homes, possibly lives and votes.

Keep our logs here to mill

To the Editor,Logs are being

shipped out of Port Alberni along with our jobs.

Why in the world would the same company that owns the trees and the mills bid high for the logs when they can bid low and let everything go overseas and make a big profit?

They do not pay the wages or up keep of the mills. The logs

being shipped out of Port Alberni is a disgrace to us and now after years of losing jobs in the Alberni Valley the elected officials are pushing for an investigation. Where have they been all these years?

I am madder than hell. If the government would put a higher tax on the logs being shipped out, it would pay to mill them here.

Cue the white hat brigade

To the Editor,All hat and no cattle.

That wonderful Texas expression, often applied to politicians who are all show and no substance, came to mind as I glimpsed television images from the Calgary Stampede.

Justin Trudeau’s flowing mane was neatly tucked beneath a white Stetson. Along came Tom Mulcair, also wearing a white Stetson.

The camera then panned to Stephen Harper wearing a dark blue and black check-shirt with an ominous black hat pulled low over his eyes.

All hat and no cattle, indeed.

This week’s question:

Do you think the Martin Mars will be an effective firefighting tool for B.C.?

As we celebrate Canada Day this week, are you proud to be Canadian?

Yes – 78.1% No – 21.9%

? !

From / A8Gasoline is going

for around $1.30 a litre, despite the prolonged slump in crude oil prices, and people have basically forgotten about this tax on top of all the other gas taxes.

Perhaps B.C. can brag in Paris about the Pacific Carbon Trust, which limps along after its near-death experience in 2013.

The trust continues

to divert tax dollars from B.C. government operations to purported carbon-saving activities, including paying coastal First Nations not to log the portions of forests that they demanded be preserved.

Your cellphone could soon say ‘no service’ at Sproat Lake a lot less often if the installation of new cell towers goes through.

Rogers and Telus representatives have asked the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District board of directors for permission to add a cell tower each to improve the patchy

cell coverage around the lake.

The two companies received different responses; Rogers’ proposed cell tower on an Island Timberlands-owned lot south of Faber Road received the go ahead while Telus’ proposed tower at Sproat Lake Landing is a no-go.

“We’re all very happy to see interest in providing cell coverage to our

area but...there just seems to be a lot of opposition from the community for that site,” Sproat Lake director Penny Cote said. The proposed Telus tower site received 22 complaints. “It seems to me that the site you’ve chosen covered a lot of up into the hillside behind, so the Community Forest, and out into the lake was basically just

Faber Arm,” said Cote, adding that she’s told that people typically have three bars of cell service already at the proposed Sproat Lake Landing location.

Altus Group municipal relations specialist Leifka Vissers said that the site was chosen because it provided the best coverage.

“It’s the first tower in the area and we want to make sure we’re maximizing the

service area,” said Vissers. The ACRD board told Telus to co-locate with the Rogers tower.

“The benefits of this particular tower would largely be on the eastern side of Sproat Lake,” said Brian Gregg of Site Path Consulting on behalf of Rogers.

“Certainly along the highway and the lake and a lot of the residents in the cabins on the east side would

receive significant improvements to service.”

Telus representative Doug Anastos said that with 60 per cent of cell phone towers being co-located, Telus and Rogers could work together.

Anastos did caution that a co-location agreement would depend on the willingness of the landowner as well as the topography.

The proposed cell

towers have been needed for years, Cote acknowledged.

In a letter to Telus earlier this year, ACRD chair Josie Osborne stated that “cell coverage in the Sproat Lake area is very patchy...expanding cell phone coverage at Sproat Lake will benefit the social and economic growth of all communities within the Alberni-Clayoquot region.”[email protected]

Salmon centre a step closer


Sheena Falconer, left, and Morgan Van Vliet of West Coast Aquatic display the T-shirts they are selling to raise funds for the WCA Stewardship Centre that will open at Harbour Quay in September.

Activity is picking up in the corner unit of the Marine Building at Harbour Quay, where West Coast Aquatic is renovating a former art gallery into a salmon

stewardship centre.While construction

crews are expected soon, Sheena Falconer and Morgan Van Vliet are busy selling T-shirts and cedar seedlings

to raise funds for the centre, which will house displays on marine stewardship.

Falconer hopes the centre will open as planned in September.

A cutline in Tuesday’s News Advertiser misspelled Sue Hopkins’ name. A recent story on

Artemis Books opening should have said Paul Groeneveld is both owner and operator.

Dad was born to the late Magnus and Hildebjorg Hansen on July 22nd, 1934 in Port Alberni, B.C. He was a proud “Norwegian Canadian” and member of the Sons of Norway.Dad grew up with his parents and 3 siblings in Port Alberni where he met and married his fi rst wife, Joan Gibson, in 1955.

Tel, at age 16, in Port Alberni. He was transferred to Fort St. John in 1963, to Abbotsford in 1965 and then settled in Williams Lake in 1971, where he lived the remainder of his life. He enjoyed his service as Shop Steward of the local TWU for many years and also volunteered with the Telephone Pioneers of America. He retired from BC Tel, aft er 44 years of service at age 60 in 1994.Aft er his marriage to Joan ended, Dad met and married Margaret Zowty, in 1979. Th roughout his life, Dad pursued his passions of family, gardening, fi shing and hunting, playing sports and coaching. He was an avid outdoorsman and took every opportunity to go fi shing and hunting with his friends and family! Dad proudly supported his son, Rick, as he journeyed on the Man in Motion World Tour from 1985 – 1987 and continued to help keep the dream alive by volunteering on the Williams Lake Wheels in Motion committee for years aft erwards.Dad is survived by his wife: Margaret Hansen of Williams Lake, B.C.; his sister: Gunhild McKay (Roger) of Oliver, B.C.; his 4 children: Rick Hansen (Amanda) of Richmond, B.C., Brad Hansen (Jeannie) of Williams Lake, B.C., Cindy Moore (Geordie) of Williams Lake, B.C., and Christine Clayton (Ray) of Sechelt, B.C.; his step-daughter: Dawn Aronitz of Surrey, B.C.; his 9 grandchildren: Emma (Aaron) Vandenbrink, Alana Hansen, Rebecca Hansen, Jena (Jeff ) Fraser, Grant Hansen, Alexis Moore, Lauren Moore, Sharli Clayton and Cassidy Clayton; his great grand-daughter: Isabelle Fraser; and all of his nieces and nephews.He is predeceased by his parents: Magnus and Hildebjorg Hansen from Port Alberni, B.C. - originally from Norway.

A special acknowledgement goes to our dad’s dear friend, Jack Burgar, who shared many great adventures with him and who was always his loyal friend.Although Dad has left his loving family and friends, he will be forever in our hearts. We will always cherish all the wonderful memories we have of him! A celebration of our father’s life will be announced in the near future and will be a special opportunity for all of us to gather, share our great stories and memories, as we honour him!

Charity golfIan Stone, head pro at Uplands golf club, takes a swing at the ‘beat the pros’ hole on No. 17 during the Charity Golf Classic, Saturday afternoon.

Blue, white, red tourney July 12

The Port Boat House Blue, White and Red Tournament which was originally scheduled for last Sunday was postponed until this coming week. The players committee felt, having it the day after the Charity Classic would be a bad Idea. There were too many of our members involved in the classic that would not be out the next day.

In Men’s Club action this past Sunday it was Jacques Giovetti leading the way with a gross score of 73, great game Jacques, Colin Hamilton was second low gross carding a 78, winning by retrogression. On the net side of the day coming through with a 60 was Gerry Fagan. Followed by Dan Goddard shooting 65.

The closest to the pins were recorded by Bill Bjornson on No.2, Cal Davies on No. 4, and it was Jacques Giovetti winning both No 13, and No 17. Bill Morin was the winner of the Charity Closest to the pin on No 7 taking home $24 for his efforts.

This Sunday, July 12 is the Port Boat House Blue, White and Red Tournament. For those who aren’t sure how that goes, it’s fairly simple. Six holes are played from the blue tees, Six from the white tees and six from the red tees.

The order that they will be played will be determined by the club captain.

The shotgun will be at 8 a.m. Please make up your own foursomes and register in the pro shop, or enter as a single and you will be placed in a group.

This is an individual event, every man for himself.

The price is $15 per player which includes closest to the pins and money pots.

Inferno finish sixth in U12 fastpitch regionals


Parksville Rage pitcher Autumn Smith delivers a strike against a Ladysmith batter in the U12 squirt fastpitch regionals.

The Alberni Inferno finished second overall after the regular round robin play was finished and sixth overall in

the U12 Squirt girls’ fastpitch regional championships in Port Alberni last weekend.

The Inferno lost by

one run to Peninsula Boomers in the single knockout playoff Sunday morning.

Langford Lightning

placed first overall, defeating Central Saanich in the gold medal game, while Sooke claimed the

bronze medal. The final was played under a yellowish haze thanks to forest fires burning around B.C.

Proteau wins fifth mid-am B.C. golf title

DUNCAN— Port Alberni’s Christina Proteau outlasted a furious charge from Fairwinds Golf and Country Club’s Shelly Stouffer to win her fifth British Columbia Women’s Mid-Amateur title last week at Duncan Meadows Golf Course.

Proteau’s final round (+1) 73 saw her finish at (+7) 223, one stroke ahead of Stouffer in the 54-hole tournament.

Proteau entered the final round tied with Victoria’s Bree Sharratt, six strokes ahead of Stouffer, but Stouffer shot the first under-par round of the tournament, her (-4) round of 68 including four birdies in her final five holes.

Proteau said she

knew Stouffer was making a charge when she saw Stouffer checking out the walking scoreboard onthe 17th hole. Proteau then promptly hit her wedge to two feet, making birdie and a comfortable enough lead to play the final hole conservatively.

A five-foot par putt sealed the deal for Proteau, who thanked all of the family and friends who made this win possible.

With husband Jim caddying and son Jameson being taken care of by Jim’s parents, Proteau was able to concentrate on golf and winning her third consecutive Jackie Little Trophy, and the fifth time in seven years.

THE ARTSTHE ARTSArts festival kicks off July 11

The Festival of Artistic and Creative Expression (FACE) kicks off this Saturday, July 11 with A Nite of Spoken Word at Harbour Quay.

Starting at 7 p.m. on a stage especially set up for FACE, local writers will share material from their books, which will also be available for sale.

FACE comprises four outdoor arts and entertainment events between July and September, courtesy of Gwynne Hunt of Main Artery and Art Matters Society.

“What we’re trying

to do with the festival is introduce people to outdoor fringe-style theatre,” Hunt said.

Other events will include Two Radio Plays on July 25, Psychedelic Shakespeare on Aug. 15 and a Renaissance Market on Sept. 19.

Hunt says Harbour Quay is an ideal setting for arts and entertainment.

“It’s a natural, beautiful place to do outdoor theatre.”

For more information, please e-mail Hunt at [email protected] or drop in to Main Artery at the Quay.

Rollin needs garden help

If you are an avid gardener and are looking to help beautify our community gardens, then stop by the Rollin Art Centre and volunteer your time.

We are currently looking for help in our gardens. We need volunteers to help weed, rake, transplant and general garden duties in our gardens.

If you can volunteer a few hours every week or every month, please contact us at 205-724-3412 or stop by today to talk with us about what needs to be done in the gardens. Your support is greatly needed.

From / A22She’s won the trophy

in 2009, 2011, 2013, 2014 and 2015.

“It’s really special,” said Proteau. “This one is probably the most special.” Proteau said that since she had Jameson in December, she’s only played 15 total rounds of golf, with many of those tournament rounds.

“I’ve tried to use it as a challenge just to see what you can do

with not very much. Can you still compete? Is it still worth doing?” said Proteau. “I just scored really well, my putting and chipping were really strong,”

Eight of the Mid-Amateur women qualified to play the final round of the British Columbia Amateur at Duncan Meadows on July 3, including Proteau. She finished tied for seventh at three-over-par.

Proteau wins


New spar treesThe spar trees at the Fall Fairgrounds have been restored, thanks to a community effort. The trees were hit by lightning on Aug. 12, 2014 and destroyed, prompting cancellation of the tree climbing events at the logger sports competition last year. Western Forest Products donated the 100-foot-tall replacement trees (the bottom 12 feet are wedged into the ground), and volunteers erected them in time for the Canadian tree climbing championships in September.
