Dry winter threatens waterPublic works dept. is already preparing for early water restrictions

KATYA SLEPIANALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

Water is definitely a basic human right. We need

it, we have to have it, we can’t exist without it,” Port Alberni mayor Mike Ruttan told a crowd of concerned residents at Dry Creek on World Water Day.

But doing without might become a reality for Port Albernians as a hotter than usual summer is slated to follow a milder than usual winter.

“We don’t have a lot of snow pack,” city utilities superintendent Brian Mousley said.

“That’s kind of our signal that the glass is full and every sip you take, there’s nothing replenishing it.”

Ruttan agrees.“This summer there’s

going to be some challenges. Challenges on Vancouver Island that we haven’t experienced for a long, long time. There are going to be very low water levels.”

According to Mousley, the mild winter and lack of snow up in the mountains might lead to water restrictions being implemented early this year.

“This year we’re going to monitor that a little more closely,” Mousley said. “I think we’re going to have to supplement this year a lot quicker than the past few years.”

Last year, restrictions started in July after the city’s waterworks crew went up to Lizard Lake, from where water flows into China Creek, to check water levels. They will start monitoring earlier than that this year.

If the city gets put on water restrictions again this year, it could signal the beginning of a worrying trend. Mousley

took his job at the city in 2009 and since then, water restrictions have only been implemented twice.

“Last summer and summer of 2009 were the only times in my time here that we’ve gone to first level. I’m not sure we’ve ever gone to level two.”

The first level of outdoor water restrictions restricts non-essential usage such as washing cars, hosing off driveways and continuous sprinkling. It also reduces lawn watering to three days a week for four-hour chunks of time in the morning and evening.

Further water restrictions limit lawn watering to fewer days a week and ultimately ban it completely.

While the amount of snow that falls in any given year is out of anyone’s control, Ruttan believes there are steps that can be taken to maximize snow retention—and thus water supply—that the region does get.

“If you do not permit any logging in the watershed

then you have a far greater retention of water in that area,” he said.

This occurs because logging, even with timely replanting, reduces the natural filtration that old, well established root systems provide.

That could be a concern for the city.

The waterworks crew

monitors turbidity levels in the water from China Creek using their SCADA (super-visory control and data acquisition) system.

“It gives us our turbidity; when that starts to climb we look over to Bainbridge Lake,” Mousley said, adding that at around 15 millimetres of rain the city will look to switch.

Water from China Creek and Bainbridge Lake will then go through the city’s Bainbridge pump station and water treatment plant, where it’s disinfected, utilities technician Roberto Polles said.

“We have chlorine that goes in as [the water is] flowing and then that all feeds into town.”

The city is currently in the process of adding UV treatment to comply with the federal 4-3-2-1 drinking water guidelines at a cost of $4 million.

However, with the current quality of its water supply and the redundancy built into the system, the city has a filtration waiver from Island Health that allows it to skip the water filtration portion of the drinking water guidelines for now.

The Comox Valley is not so lucky and has been forced to build a filtration plant at an estimated cost of $50-70 million.

Logging also speeds the melting off of any snow

pack that does accumulate on the mountains that supply the city’s watershed. It’s water that desperately needs to be retained.

It all boils down to who controls the China Creek watershed, where the city’s primary water sources—China Creek and Bainbridge Lake—are located. Currently,

Island Timberlands (IT) owns the land.

Privately owned forest land is governed separately from Crown land and unless legislation changes, the municipalities whose watersheds are privately owned have no say in a logging company’s practices.

While the city meets with Island Timberlands regularly, negotiations between the two don’t address the real problem, Ruttan said. As long as Island

Timberlands follows regulations set forth by the Managed Forest Council, the company is free to log the watershed.

The only way to change that is at the provincial level, he said.

“We have to work with the provincial government to make sure we have access to legislative support and to make sure that we have access to financial support.”

KATYA SLEPIANALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

A feeling of change was in the air at city council on Monday night, with both public delegations focusing on the promotion of the Alberni Valley.

First to the mic was Malcolm Menninga to outline the benefits of promoting liveability in Port Alberni.

“Why is it that Port Alberni stagnates when every other city on Vancouver Island has experienced significant growth over the past three decades?”

Menninga believes that in order to capitalize on the 80 per cent of residents who move to

Vancouver Island in pursuit of lifestyle, not jobs, the city must promote liveability.

“It is the promotion of liveability that we must focus on if we are to attract new residents to invest and live here.”

He emphasized that in no way was the promotion of liveability to exclude industry but that more funding needs to be put into other initiatives.

According to Menninga, “here is a direct link between appealing waterfront access and economic prosperity” and the city must do more to transform Canal Beach into an attraction. Menninga requested the city

put $250,000 into beautifying Canal Beach, $101,000 to bylaw enforcement, $35,000 into the Johnston Road planters and $250,000 into expanding the economic development office.

Promotion of Port Alberni’s best qualities was also the topic of the next delegation from Tim and Ev Miller-Towle, who presented their Alberni Valley branding: “the Alberni Valley, the place where the Island smiles.”

Ev, who has worked in the creative and arts field, has been designing T-shirts with “the place where the Island smiles” and her husband Tim

has been selling them since 2009.

According to Ev, “this brand has undergone market research since 2009 and that’s generally unknown for brands.”

The Miller-Towles presented their brand to the city in hopes that it would spur on new external marketing initiatives.

“With ‘the place where the Island smiles’ we celebrate our people, present citizens and newcomers alike,” Ev said. “This is very much grassroots, created by people from here.”

City council voted to refer the new branding initiative to the economic development office.

Time to promote city’s liveability, not negativity, residents tell council

City shoots down Westporte saleKATYA SLEPIAN

ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

Port Alberni city council has defeated a proposal to sell Westporte Park to the Westcoast Native Health Care Society for expansion of Rainbow Gardens.

Council voted 4-3 to defeat a bylaw amendment that would have allowed the expansion of Rainbow Gardens to continue.

While Coun. Ron Paulson emphasized

that he learned a lot at the public hearing on March 16, he said he felt let down by how it ended.

“I will scold people, I was very disappointed with the way the meeting degenerated towards the end.”

Paulson was also disappointed with Rainbow Gardens’ lack of a business plan.

Coun. Denis Sauve said at the council

meeting that Rainbow Gardens never contacted Island Health about their expansion plans.

“Pretty much nobody knew anything about the expansion.”

Sauve said that although he believes more seniors housing is essential, he doesn’t feel that the independent living facilities that Rainbow Gardens had planned were what the city needs.

“What they need is acute care and

assisted living which was never mentioned.”

Coun. Sharie Minions took issue with the location of the proposed replacement park.

“I really don’t feel that the selected location for the new park is a suitable location for a playground.”

Minions also didn’t feel like it was fiscally responsible to spend more money on building a new park than the $163,000 the city would receive from the sale of the existing Park.

“Selling off the park should be a worst case scenario.”

Craig named B.C. AchieverPam Craig of Port

Alberni has been named a 2015 B.C. Community Achiever.

“We recognize individuals today who have made a significant contribution either as volunteers or in the course of their

work,” said Keith Mitchell, chair of the BC Achievement Foundation.

Craig, SD70 chair and a museum volunteer, was chosen because she is a committed voice for literacy in the Alberni Valley.

Angel Magnussen, 19, of Port Alberni has been named a Canadian Down Syndrome Hero to commemorate World Down Syndrome Day (March 21).

There were five Heroes named from

around the country.“Angel gives me

hope,” wrote Lisa Woodin, who sent in a nomination letter for Angel.

Magnussen will receive $500 to put toward her education, or a special project.

Loci 112 back home

The CANFOR steam locomotive—the 112 that has been sitting out in the weather for the last 45 years in Beaver Cove—was set on its permanent tracks on Tuesday, at the Alberni Pacific Railway roundhouse.

Nickel Brothers, a B.C. company that specializes in heavy

moving, took care of the transfer between a static display near Port McNeill, down Highway 19 and across Highway 4 to the 112’s new home.

The B.C. Railroad Historical Association made a donation to the Industrial Heritage Society to make the move possible.

DAVID HOOPER/SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Crews from Nickel Bros. use a set of rollers to move the former Canfor steam locomotive (No. 112) onto its permanent rails at the entrance to the Alberni Pacific Railway roundhouse, Tuesday morning.

Angus Marshall, left, a veteran train enthusiast at 8, recreates Loci 112 in Lego. His version comes complete with a boiler in behind the noseplate, and a flatdeck—just like the Nickel Bros. flatdeck that brought the locomotive to Port Alberni from Beaver Cove near Port McNeill, right.

Into the watershedKATYA SLEPIAN

ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

Island Timberlands will not stop logging in the China Creek

watershed unless there’s a serious purchase offer on the table, says Morgan Kennah, Island Timberlands manager of sustainable timberlands and community affairs.

The timber company believes that their logging practices don’t endanger the city’s drinking water supply.

According to Kennah, Island Timberlands’ (IT) logging practices are sustainable and do take into account environmental values.

“We live in coastal B.C. so there’s usually a creek some-where, if not many creeks. So you’re looking at water, drinking water in this case, you’re also thinking of fish habitat,” Kennah said during a tour of the watershed last week.

The company takes that into account by leaving a buffer of some size between the logging and the body of water.

“It all depends on

the size of the water body, really,” she said.

Stream, creeks, wetlands and lakes “each get some retention left depending on their

size, except for the very smallest creeks that are very far away from any drinking water intakes.”

That retention

ranges from 10 metres to 30 metres away from the water depending on whether it is a drinking water source or if fish are present.

Although she declined to get into specifics, for China

Creek, Kennah said “we always plan a buffer because it is a larger creek and the drinking water intake is very apparent.”

Logging on private lands is managed by the Managed Forest Council, a branch of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources which lays out regulations and guidelines for buffer zones around creeks, lakes and other bodies. According to Kennah, IT also voluntarily imposes stricter regulations on the logging contractors it employs.

Much of the concern has been focused on McLaughlin Ridge, a steep slope above the city’s water supply.

(The News featured

the environmental concerns about logging the ridge in an Aug. 14, 2014 front page feature.)

This is the same area that local environmentalists are interested in purchasing.

“We’ve had one group in particular interested in McLaughlin Ridge for purchase.”

However, Kennah said that “the message that’s been shared with those groups many times is that if you’re interested, we’re willing to sit down and have a conversation with you; that conversation will include a confidentiality agreement.”

That conversation, according to Kennah, will “include only

serious financeable parties. So those are people that have money, not people that are looking to manage an area or people that are looking out of personal interests to be involved.”

Jane Morden of the Watershed

Forest Alliance, a local environmental organization, has said previously it’s hard to pin down funding

and interested parties when the landscape of the land in question isn’t guaranteed.

Pot Luck Ceramics moving into town

Pot Luck Ceramics is closing the books on another fiscal year with some good news.

Pot Luck is a unique fundraising initiative that was originally created to raise money for Ty Watson House Hospice by selling ceramic goods imported from Spain especially for this purpose.

By the end of March every year, the Port Alberni Fundraising Coop (owner and operator of Pot Luck Ceramics) donates the profits of their business to support quality of life services in the Alberni Valley.

The bed program of the Alberni Valley Hospice Society will receive $15,000 towards the salaries of kitchen staff of the end of life care bed facility, spokesperson Helma Swinkels said

in a press release. Pot Luck Ceramics

will also donate $5,000 to the year-old Better at Home senior program in the Alberni Valley, to be put towards a staff position within the program.

“PAFCoop considers both programs of very high value in our community,” Swinkels said in a press release.

“Since our first donation in 2012 the coop has now donated over $80,000 from the revenue of Pot Luck Ceramics.”

This year’s total in donations was slightly smaller than last year, since part of the profit will be used for the renovations and the move of Pot Luck Ceramics to an old house on 4473 Gertrude St. Pot Luck Ceramics has been operating out of the Pot Luck Barn on Cowley Road in Cherry Creek since its inception, and will continue to do so until

the move to the new building, at the end of May, Swinkels said.

Pot Luck Cottage will have lots of parking in the back and an extra exit onto South Gate.

At their new location Pot Luck Ceramics plans to open five days a week.

FUNDRAISING: | Quality of life services benefit from a good year.


V ICTORIA – The B.C. government has made its

most significant moves in decades to address the needs of some of the province’s poorest people.

The largest financial commitment is for a new program to help single parents escape from the welfare trap. There are 16,000 single parents in B.C. receiving provincial income assistance or disability payments, most of them women.

Even if they could find an entry-level job, it wouldn’t pay enough to cover the child care they would need to go to work. Worst of all, the current system requires that if they enrol in training, they lose their income assistance, including dental and extended medical care for themselves and their children.

That is the welfare trap, one of the most perverse

government policies to have survived into our supposedly enlightened modern era.

The new program takes effect in September. It will not only continue income assistance payments when single parents enrol in skills training, it promises to cover their child care and transportation costs for an approved training program of up to one year.

Medical and child care costs will then be covered for up to a year after training, to allow a transition to employment.

Approved training means training for jobs that are identified as in demand, requiring high school and occupation-specific training that can be completed in a year or less. They include retail sales, general office work and assistance jobs in health services.

Another overdue policy change is to double the allowable earnings for all income assistance recipients from $200 to $400 a month. This gives people a chance to improve their circumstances by taking whatever part-time or casual work they can manage, without having

that little income cut from their already meagre welfare cheques.

And then there was the recent decision to end the claw-back of parental child support payments from income assistance

payments.The province has for

many years run a costly child maintenance enforcement program to track down (mostly) deadbeat dads and force them to pay at least a token amount to support

their children. Now when they pay child support to a single parent on income assistance, they will at least have the satisfaction of knowing the children actually receive the extra benefit.

These harsh, historic policies were built around a philosophy that welfare is a temporary last resort, to be withdrawn as soon as some other source of income is identified. That is a valid if unfashionable position to take on behalf of working taxpayers who pay for all this, but it only makes sense if the income assistance recipient has a realistic option.

For those who are already in the entry-level job market, the minimum wage goes up 20 cents an hour in September, from $10.25 to $10.45. This is the beginning of an annual review that will tie the wage to the consumer price index.

A paltry sum, to be sure, but anyone who still thinks jacking the minimum wage up to $15 an hour is a magic solution that won’t cost some

Opportunity turned away

The NIMBYS in Westporte have won in the Rainbow Gardens dispute, and that is disappointing.

There was no compromise to a proposed sale of Westporte Park to accommodate expansion of Rainbow Gardens senior facility. Instead, the city stopped any chance of development by voting against bylaw changes that would have facilitated the sale.

Sure, the city should have clarified its position on the replacement park, and residents could have come up with some concrete ideas of what they feel is necessary for the new park. That didn’t happen.

We lost a golden opportunity to have a positive discussion about how Rainbow Gardens’ expansion plans and subsequent relinquishment of the existing city park could work for all parties.

Some Westporte residents failed to get the message that this is an existing society that wants to expand its operations in the vicinity of its present facility. Residents instead told Rainbow Gardens there were plenty of ‘other places’ they could build a seniors’ facility.

That attitude is shortsighted.We need every sort of service for seniors

here in the Alberni Valley. We need independent living units; we need assisted living units; we need acute care. We can’t afford to turn any of it down.

What sort of message are we sending to businesses that want to expand or come into the Alberni Valley, if we shoot down an idea so thoroughly before it even has time to take root?

What does it say to Island Health if we as a community won’t even listen to the West Coast Native Health Society’s plan—no matter that the plan wasn’t as detailed as it could have been? It says we’re not open for business. And that’s a shame.

Palm Sunday, March 29As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will fi nd a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. They brought the donkey and the colt, placed their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat on them. A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Hosanna in the highest!” When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”The crowds answered, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”

Rainbow plans need support

To the Editor,It is to bad that the

majority of the people at the public hearing for Rainbow Gardens were Westporte residents. I would say, 90 per cent of those were over the childbearing age.

Westporte is an expensive neighbourhood, not close to facilities like schools, the Athletic Hall, Echo Pool, etc., so parents have to drive their children or use the bus.

I understand that nobody wants to lose what they have. But let’s look at the rest of town. Lots of neighbourhoods don’t have playgrounds within walking distance. Westporte has, using River Road park.

If traffic is a problem, for a minimal cost a light or a pedestrian crossing could be installed—there is no need for building a new park.

What is wrong with building a sand box, having a swing, trampoline, etc. in the backyard? It’s what lots of residents do that don’t have the luxury of a park nearby.

Now none of us want

to die or get sick. But these things come for free with old age. Nobody wants to end up with Alzheimers, dementia, Parkinson’s, strokes, etc. But those things happen.

Nobody wants to be in a care home but what about when your loved ones can’t take care of you or you are the only survivor? Do you want to end up in Parksville, Nanaimo or wherever a place is available?

I am sure your answer is no. Well this can happen, if our care facilities are not upgraded.

Visiting residents in care homes is important. Very few get visits more than twice a week. Do you think if you are in a home out of town you will have visitors?

I know it is important to take care of the young generation, but don’t forget about the elderly.

It was brought up at the public hearing if the city sells the park and leases it back for $1, It still will cost money for insurance, landscaping, etc.

So lets fix this: sell the property to Rainbow Gardens with the stipulation that the land can only be used for a care

home. They gladly will take care of the landscaping and the taxpayers will save money.

Let’s support Rainbow Gardens and their staff, which have done an excellent job in this community for more than 20 Years.

Questioning everything

To the Editor,What if faith does

not matter and as atheists claim, it’s just the absence of science?

Bad people do bad things but can only religion convince good people to act badly?

In Luke 19:27, Christ says in part, “Slaughter those that won’t accept me as king”

and Qur’an’s Sura 9:5 states in part “Slay unbelievers wherever you may find them.”

Did Isis pervert Islam or did Barack Obama tell a little white lie,

Can we justify holy books’ ‘kill’ scripture, or do we turn a blind eye?

Where is the little boy from “The Emperor’s New Clothes” fable?

Did he mature

and discover truth would render politics untenable?

Do rulers fear to lose church-state control tool, is it all sham,

or do the rich divide the poor in democracy? Is it a conspiracy?

In 1995 the average Toronto Communist party member was 85.

Gauge your church’s median age: how long can believers survive?

“There’s a sucker born every minute,” PT Barnum said.

Will belief in God persist, after all atheists are long dead?

In the FLQ crisis, Pierre Trudeau had to enact War Measures Act.

How many more deaths do we exact before Harper should react?

Can an ounce of prevention save us from later costly intervention?

Is national media controlled in a plutocracy,

or can Internet set us free from theocracy?

C-51 ‘extremely dangerous’ bill

To the Editor,Re: Dr. James

Lunney, MP for

Nanaimo-Alberni and the federal Conservatives’ proposed Bill C-51.

This is an extremely dangerous bill that is being passed. It is too vague and open, virtually making everyone a “terrorist”. There is no watch dog on the secret police or CSIS, allowing them to do illegal searches, illegal break-ins of every citizen of this country.

It takes away our right to free speech, and breaches many of our other rights.

When four previous prime ministers have raise the alarm, as well as senior justices, then it is time to eliminate what lacks common sense or logic.

This bill does not make citizens any safer. We urge James Lunney to do the right thing, and vote againstthis.

I encourage Canadians to learn more about how we can work together to stop Secret Police Bill C-51 at the website StopC51.ca

Seniors 101 info clarified

Thursday, Mar. 26,A12 www.albernivalleynews.com

From / A3“We’re continuing

our negotiations with the local forest companies but the ultimate goal is for us as a city to actually control our whole watershed.”

If the city isn’t able to get that provincial backing, it leaves them hard pressed to deal with water supply issues, whether caused by logging or by climate change.

It’s a paradox. The city is charged with supplying clean drinking water to its residents but has no control over the land usage of a watershed it does not own.

It’s a delicate balancing act, Ruttan said.

“Forest companies have a commercial right to access what we own. But we as citizens have a human right to access what we need. And that can

become the conflict.”Getting the

provincial backing for the protection of the city’s watershed has been an ongoing concern for the city.

“We have a watershed but we don’t own it. We share it, we share it with the timber companies. If that’s going to change it’s going to change by the communities on Vancouver Island getting together and focusing our concerns as communities with the provincial government,” Ruttan said.

“One community at a time, frankly, isn’t strong enough. All of the communities speaking with the same voice... then the provincial government needs to sit up and pay attention.”

To that end, Ruttan said a motion would be raised at the Association of Vancouver Island

Coastal Communities later in March.

“The motion is coming through the regional district to specifically address this and it’ll become a long political process that will unroll however it unrolls, over however many months and years it takes to get there.”

Coun. Denis Sauve doesn’t have much faith in the provincial process.

“My patience is wearing thin on the matter. I keep on hearing a lot of diplomatic issues and great relationships and so forth but my patience is limited.”

Sauve emphasized that he has nothing against logging but that he is worried as to the impacts on the city’s water.

“They will log. They have every right to log. All we’re asking is for the protection of the watershed.”

City needs gov’t backing over water Highway not a

hockey issueCoun. Ron Paulson

retracted his earlier statement that the condition of the Alberni Highway was the reason for Hockey Canada’s trepidation for hosting some of the women’s U18 championships in Port Alberni. Instead, Hockey Canada’s trepidation was due to travel time, he said.

Sewer issues back at council

Port Alberni resident Bryce Casavant sent another letter back to city council after being unsatisfied with the city’s choice to cost share the price of connecting his property to the municipal sewer system. Due to his property being over 100 ft. from the sewer, his fee is $6,500, a quarter of the overall cost.

Abbeyfield to get a new roof

Abbeyfield House is getting a new roof at a discount thanks to a $150,000 contribution from the city. Council voted to take $150,000 from the capital works reserve fund to add to the $60,000 that Abbeyfield will be paying.

Mayor offto China

Mayor Mike Ruttan will head to a sustainability conference in China next month thanks to Vanke, a Chinese construction firm.

Ruttan sees the trip as an opportunity to introduce Chinese investors to investment and partnership opportunities.

Victim services sent to ACRD

Port Alberni Victim Services were told to try for a bigger grant-in-aid from the regional district before coming back to the city to explore other funding options. Victim services is looking for an $11,000 increase in funding. Currently, the regional district contributes $15,000.

Spirit Square market back

The Spirit Square farmers market entered a lease with the city for the location for five months starting May.

ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

The next 10 years might see a new way in and out of the Alberni Valley, according to the province’s new transportation plan.

The province unveiled the plan, titled B.C. On the move on, March 18 with a presentation in Nanaimo.

Included in the plan was a commitment from the Ministry of Transportation to conduct a $100,000

“business case review” on another highway in and out of the Alberni Valley.

Coun. Jack McLeman, a member of the regional district’s transportation committee, said he was enthused by the attention the Port Alberni contingent received at the Nanaimo unveiling.

“We definitely got a lot more attention for being mentioned only on the bottom of page 30, so I say congratulations to

everyone who came.”City economic

development manager Pat Deakin was similarly optimistic.

“We had a strong contingent of people there to hear the unveiling of the plan and advocate for this community and infrastructure needs in this community,” Deakin said.

Some of the other priorities outlined in the plan could apply to Port Alberni as well, he said, from LNG infrastructure to funding for airports.

Hundreds jam career fair at Athletic Hall


Hundreds of people jammed into the career fair at the Alberni Athletic Hall on Tuesday, delighting organizers from both the AV Employment Centre and Nuu-chah-nulth Employment and Training Program (NETP).

“It exceeded our expectations,” AVEC’s Bill Brown said.

“We prepared 520 of the hiring bags for people to walk around with and they were gone by 12 p.m.,” he said. “We had to do more photocopying.

“The employers’ response was incredible this time,” he added. “The feedback so far

from employers and participants is really good.”

“I think it’s extremely awesome,” NETP intake coordinator Leisa Hassall said. “We had people busting through the doors 10 minutes before we were supposed to open at 9 a.m.”

Hassall said the variety in ages of people bringing in their resumés—from students to mature employees—was a positive aspect to the fair. “That’s an amazing way to show how diverse Port Alberni is,” she said.

Leanne Ruissen, general manager at the Mark’s store in Port Alberni, said she received a good stack of resumés from people.

She has two potential positions coming up (employeeslooking to move) and “it’s always nice to see the people in person.”

Sarah Ozog from Western Forest Products was promoting the forestry company’s First Nations partnerships with NETP. “We’ve had seven people trained and employed” through that partnership, she added.

Jean Wylie from NETP echoed Ozog, saying they appreciate the relationship they enjoy with Western Forest Products. “We look forward to continuing,” she said.

Sheena Falconer from West Coast Aquatic was looking to hire four summer students for fisheries monitoring and stream assessment, and said the fair kept her busy all day.

“This is such a good turnout,” she said during a break in speaking with potential employees.

“That’s why we come. We’ve got some great resumés.”

NISSAN LEAFPresented by

SCRAP-IT

You last chance to go green for free!

If you would like to plug in an all-electric Nissan LEAF at your home, this weekend is the last chance you will have to get one for nothing!British Columbia’s SCRAP-IT Program kindly supplied us with one of the eco-friendly sedans as a prize in our Plug-In to Win Contest, which closes at midnight on Sunday (see below for entry details). The winner will be announced online next week and Driveway will feature an interview with the lucky winner in an upcoming edition.SCRAP-IT announced its new incentive program here last week, which offers a $3,000 rebate for electric car purchasers if they scrap a 2000 or older vehicle. This is in addition to the newly announced provincial government program detailed in our main story today. The LEAF will be on display at the SCRAP-IT booth throughout this weekend at the Vancouver International Auto Show, in the Vancouver Convention

Centre West. Qualifying electric vehicles for the organization’s incentive are listed on the SCRAP-IT.ca website. Take a look because some of them, plus vehicles qualifying under the additional government program will be at the show to view and some made available there for test drives outside.

DrivewayCanada.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat

Clean energy cars now more affordableThe long awaited rebate incen-tives designed to encourage British Columbians to buy clean energy cars were announced this week at the Vancouver Interna-tional Auto Show.Minister of Energy and Mines Bill Bennett announced a scheme to offer incentives of up to $5,000 for the purchase or lease of a new battery electric or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, and up to $6,000 for a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, When combined with new SCRAP-IT program incentives revealed here last week, the total savings could be up to $8,250 for an electric vehicle. The incentives are expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by the equivalent of taking 1,400 cars off the road and are part of Phase 2 of the Clean Energy Vehicle (CEV) program. The program will distribute $10.6 million from the Province’s Innovative Clean Energy Fund over the next three years for the following purposes:

◼ $7.5 million for point-of-sale incentives for electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.◼ $1.59 million for investments in charging infrastructure and hydrogen fuelling infrastructure.◼ $1 million for incentives for commercial

fleet purchases of clean energy vehicles.◼ $500,000 for research, training, and public outreach on clean energy transportation technology.

Today, electric vehicles typically cost about 25 per cent more than non-electric vehicles, but the incentives will narrow that price gap. Electric vehicle owners typically save about 75 per cent on their fuel costs, which adds up to $1,600 per year. An analysis will be conducted to identify gaps in the location of

charging infrastructure and determine the most effective way to deploy infrastructure funding. This will include looking at what locations (multi-unit residential buildings, downtown parking areas, shopping centres etc.) would best support increased adoption of electric vehicles.The first phase of the CEV program ran from 2011 to 2014 and helped support the purchase of 950 electric vehicles and the development of over 1,000 charging stations, and resulted in 57,000 tonnes of direct emissions reductions – equivalent to taking approximately 1,000 vehicles off the road.

The Ministry of Energy and Mines will administer and implement the CEV program through partnerships with the New Car Dealers Association of British Columbia, the Fraser Basin Council, and the Canadian Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Association. Quote: Blair Qualey, president and CEO of the

New Car Dealers Association of B.C. is delighted with the announcement. “Our members are seeing increasing interest from consumers in purchas-ing electric vehicles and this program will provide many with the incentive

they need to make a purchase.”Visitors to the Vancouver International Auto Show, which closes on Sunday, will have the opportunity to take a clean energy vehicle for a spin. Most manufacturers are also showing their clean energy vehicles inside the Vancouver Trade & Convention Centre West.

It’s that time of year again, when everyone is chomping at the bit to get going on the golf course.

Sunday, March 29 is the opening day of the Men’s Club. It will be a four-man best ball competition with the best net and best gross counting on each hole. But it can’t be the same player.

It all get under way with a 9 a.m. shotgun start. Please register in the Pro Shop in your own group or

enter as a single and you will be placed on a team.

Remember that all holes must be putted out. Also you must enter your score in the computer before you play your next round.

Preben Rasmussen is the new club captain. He with his committee have made some positive changes, in hopes to attract more members to play on Sunday mornings.

The Men’s Club dues this year will be $10, down from $20 last year.

Also there will be

10 sponsored events this year. The cost for these events will be $15 which includes closest to the pins and money pots on all par 3’s.

On the open Sundays there will be net and gross prizes. The cost for those days will be $7 which includes closest to the pins and money pots.

Preben and his committee plan on giving out more prizes throughout the season instead of having so many draws on the windup day.

The club championship will be held July 25–26.

Opening day for AGC menGERRYFAGANAlberni Golf

For the low handicap division of the nine-hole ladies Claudia Romaniuk won the low gross, Kelly Gauthier had low net as well as the lowest putts.

In the high handicap

division Louise Berlinski won both low gross and low net. Mary Ann Madison had the fewest putts.

Pars were had by Julie Swaney, Kelly Gauthier, Kath Stolth and Claudia Romaniuk.

Katy Lekich, Marie Swain, Mary Ann Madison and Kelly Gauthier all had chip

ins.We only had a

handful of players come out for the 18-hole ladies, the ladies that didn’t bother to play missed out on a beautiful day for golf. Janice Cross had an 87 to win low gross, four of us tied for low net with 73, that was Janice Cross, Patsy Gauthier, Barb

Sheare, Carol Hastings and Kathy White. Patsy Gauthier had a chip in.

Just a little fact on how the payouts have changed in the golf world, Matt Every won $1,134,000 last weekend for first place, in 1962 in the Los Angeles Open Jack Nicklaus won $ 33.33 for tying 50th.

Silver for Badovinac◆ WRESTLING

Nolan Badovinac has always been a person to rise to a challenge. The grade 12 Alberni wrestler did that again last weekend at the Junior National Wrestling Championships at Brock University.

Despite being a 17-year-old juvenile wrestler the local high school champion from ADSS was selected to wrestle at the Junior Nationals for athletes 19-20 years of age. Badovinac pulled off a silver medal against the big boys.

“What Nolan accomplished doing so well at the Junior Nationals is truly remarkable,” observed an enthusiastic Alberni Wrestling director Tom McEvay.

“Not only was he giving up a critical age difference, he was

also wrestling at 84 kg when he walks around at about 80 kg and most of his opponents were coming down from 90 kg or heavier. These are big men, with college wrestling experience who Nolan beat to make the final.”

In the 84 kg final Badovinac met

Burnaby’s Ajay Gill and the differences caught up to him. Gill overpowered Badovinac and did not give him the opportunity to use some of his offensive weapons, such as a wicked ability to throw. Badovinac caught Gill with one spectacular four-point

throw, the only points scored on Gill the entire nationals.

“Nolan’s strategy against Gill was to tie him up and look for the throw,” said Alberni coach James Messenger, “but he quickly realized Gill was too big and too strong to control in that situation.

“This is great experience for Nolan since at his own age group he can usually dictate the style of match he wants. Nolan loves to be pushed, in fact he thrives on it and this gives him the opportunity to develop to the next level.”

Badovinac will head to Fredericton, NB with Team BC April 9-12 for the Cadet/Juvenile Nationals. He will be joined by brother Aaron and Michel Kurucz.

I always taught my kids to work toward their goals, so when my grandson told me he wanted a new bike, a paper route was the answer. Now, two days a week, we walk through the neighbourhood while he delivers the Alberni Valley News. He bought the bike he wanted and is now saving for his next purchase.

Good Values. New Bike. Thanks, Grandpa

Members of the Alberni District Secondary School band perform at the University of Victoria Band Fest last month.

Gold for bandOn Feb. 26 and

27 the Grade 9 Band from Alberni District Secondary School (ADSS) went to Victoria and participated in the University of Victoria Band Festival. They also went to a performance and workshop with the Naden Band at CFB Esquimalt.

The students played extremely well and came home with a gold level adjudication

from UVic.The visit to Naden

was inspiring for the students, and memorable.

Teacher Margot McNally conducted the mass group as her students rehearsed with the Naden musicians.

Lieutenant (N) Clarke, the Naden band leader, also demonstrated for several students how to properly conduct the group.

From / A8Kennah said

there were no parties interested in the China Creek watershed where the negotiations had reached a point where a pause in the logging might be considered.

“If those parties or party is interested in coming forward and entering in those arrangements then maybe some of those things can be discussed and some of that very temporary concern in what the interest area might be might be discussed and negotiated.”

However, Kennah said that IT is in negotiations to sell environmentally sensitive lands on the south Island, although she could not disclose details.

As to logging McLaughlin Ridge, Kennah said that IT has “plans to harvest that area sometime in the future” but not in 2015. However, Kennah admitted that IT’s logging plans are constantly fluctuating.

“We work in a market-driven business. We’re only taking trees we know we can sell and reforest properly.”

But for 2015, “as far as up on the steeper slopes, we don’t have a plan to harvest...[the trees] will look pretty much the same,” Jacques Prairie, area engineer for Island Timberlands, said.

While Kennah did say that the elevation changes in China Creek are “striking,” Prairie added the company takes measures to protect the integrity of the steep slope.

“If there’s any potential where we feel that falling or harvesting may accelerate some sort of slope disturbance then we bring in a professional geologist or a professional engineer to assess the hillside and they give us some guidance as

to what the level of cut can be.”

As far as purchasing the land, Kennah emphasized that

any negotiations and details would be subject to a legally binding confidentiality agreement.

“Island Timberlands is a business and as a business we’re interested in working with different

organizations whether they want to work for us or purchase land from us.”

For any interested

parties however, the message is simple; Island Timberlands only wants “people that have money and

are actually willing to purchase,” Kennah [email protected]
