MARTIN WISSMATH ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

A public hearing on Monday at city hall will be held to remove liquor store zoning for the old Port Pub, after the licence was transferred to a new store on Third Avenue.

With the addition of the new liquor store opening at 3684 Third Avenue, there will be nine locations in Port Alberni. The Port Pub on Argyle Street closed last year, and the Alberni Liquor Store opened on Johnston Road.

Monday’s public hearing is scheduled for 6 p.m. at city hall, and will afford residents the opportunity to voice any con-cerns they might have if they feel their property is affected by the zoning change.

Liquor beer and wine stores are “site-specific” zones, said Port Alberni city planner Scott Smith. They’re permitted only on the properties that they’re located on.

“A number of municipalities do it that way in order to have a level of control for stores,” Smith said.

A second part of Monday’s hearing involves the liquor store at the Hospitality Inn. A bylaw amendment will reflect a sub-division at the location, Smith said.

By removing the site-specific zoning bylaw for the old Port Pub, it restricts the possibility of another liquour store being added there, explained Smith. If a proprietor wanted to open up alcohol sales at that location, then would need to go through

the city’s process again. Coun. Denis Sauvé said the

city doesn’t need new liquor stores. A former RCMP officer, he’s seen how alcohol can affect crime in a community, he said. But it’s also detrimental to the economy to have so many retail locations in a small area, he noted.

“We have enough liquor stores in Port Alberni,” said Sauvé, noting he previously voted against the zoning bylaw for Third Avenue. “We have to pro-tect the ones we have.” Hotel liquor stores depend on sales revenue for their businesses, Sauvé added.

In Port Alberni one liquor store is available for every 1,971 residents – far exceeding the per-capita availability in Nanaimo, where 25 stores operate – one for every 3,352 residents there.

Courtenay has an even lower distribution than Nanaimo with a store for every 3,443 residents, while Campbell River’s 14 liquor stores offer one location for every 2,227. Of the mid-Island’s cities, Parksville came close to Port Alberni with a store for every 1,996 residents.

KRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

Ty Watson House, administered by the Alberni Valley Hospice Society, has a continuous wait list of at least 10 people at the end-of-life stage.

In order to provide the critical, high-quality care to patients and alleviate the burden on fam-ilies, the Society would ideally look at expansion. Currently housing four beds in fully-equipped rooms, upgrades would be needed to accommo-date even just an additional two. Funds, though, are dependent on community support.

“It is critical that we get more beds,” said execu-tive director Gretchen Carlson. “We are only able to sustain four because of the set-up of the herit-age building, but we have a staffing model that could handle six.”

Carlson said patients have the opportunity to die in dignity at the Ty Watson House and wants to find ways to meet the demand. The alterna-tive to upgrading is a complete new home build or adding respite beds for families who are car-ing for loved ones at home. As a former hospital worker, she said the community deserves the 24-hour care.

“There is a bottleneck in the system,” Carlson said. “It can take months for someone in an acute

care bed in the hospital to get in. Those at home without support will take priority over others who have caregivers.”

Currently the Society relies mainly on com-munity donations and fundraisers to maintain programs and operations. Recently the office has moved from Ty Watson House to a larger space on Third Avenue to run a variety of programs. Carlson said the move offers the opportunity to implement more support for families, including those going through grief and loss.

“We listened to the community and saw the need to create more programs,” Carlson said.

She said there is a need for those going through early onset dementia and their families. The pro-cess does not necessarily take place at the end of life, but is one that causes grief and anxiety.

In its early stages, people may experience short-term memory loss and lose the ability to do everyday tasks. It often leads to grief, isolation and depression.

“That early support might help bring some acceptance,” Carlson said. “For families it is dif-ficult to watch their loved ones deteriorate and might need that support as caregivers, especially when it becomes 24-hour care that is needed.”

Local non-profi t organization provides emergency communitications support to regional district

Radio Club gets $10,000 grant for trailer

MARTIN WISSMATH ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

If an earthquake and tsunami struck the Alberni Valley, knocking out phone and Internet access, the Arrowsmith Amateur Radio Club would help provide emer-gency communication.

A $10,000 grant-in-aid from the ACRD is provid-ing funds for the radio club to assemble an important new project: a mobile communication trailer. The grant money has already been used to purchase the trailer itself, but another $20,000 in funding from other sources is required to fill it with radio equipment.

The trailer should be finished by the fall if it all comes together in time, said Al Winney, munici-pal emergency coordin-ator with the club. Win-ney is a federally certified radio communications operator.

Plans for the trailer provide room for three

radio operators and one person to handle recep-tion. It could travel any-where in the regional district, as far as the West Coast, if needed. Equipment planned for the mobile operations trailer includes VHF, UHF and HF (high-frequency) usage.

Currently the club has an equipment room in the basement of the ACRD building on Fifth Avenue and Angus Street. A public network operates out of Port Alberni every Sunday, with amateur radio enthusiasts from all over the world tuning in.

Founded in 1972, the Arrowsmith Amateur Radio Club has provided emergency communica-tion for the regional dis-trict since 1977, Winney said.

If Internet access was wiped out by a natural disaster, the club can pro-vide email services over radio, Winney said.

Bob Neville, club dir-ector, said radio is an

important backup in case of emergency. Mobile phone service is often down because of an over-load of calls, he said.

The radio club operates antennas on Mt. Arrow-smith and Mt. Cokely, as well as one antenna in Beaver Creek. The ACRD provided the radio club with just under $20,000 in grant-in-aid funding last year to replace antennas and cover maintenance costs.

Operating as a local non-profit providing a public service, the radio club was eligible to apply for grant-in-aid funding, said Russell Dyson, chief administrative officer for the ACRD.

“The idea is to enable them, if it’s more efficient for the purposes of an emergency, to be mobile,” said Dyson. “It would also duplicate their equipment in the event that it was destroyed.” It provides another option for the club to keep its operations running in an emergency

situation, he noted.The regional district

on an annual basis pro-vides grant-in-aid fund-ing to local groups and

organizations.

May brings hospice exposureTY WATSON, from Page1

Included in the programs of the Society is the work of Chaplain Les Bonnell. Bon-nell started a men’s grief support group for those who have difficulty connecting with councillors and other men.

“It is an opportunity for men to feel safe,” Carlson said.

Bonnell and two bereave-ment councillors are avail-able in the office, but they also go to the hospital and into homes.

Other programs include group grief support, walk and talks and drop-in support.

“We are also looking at advanced care directive planning, which is like a liv-ing will,” Carlson said.

May is a month of aware-ness and fundraising for the Alberni Valley Hospice Soci-ety and kicks off with the Hike for Hospice. As a fun,

community event, there will be refreshments, a kid’s table, live music and the popular wacky tie contest.

Participants are asked to bring their decorated ties to the event, and for each, Don Ferster of Jim’s Clothes Closet will donate $10. He

has doubled his contribu-tion from previous years.

“This is our main charity and we want to get more people out and help drive up the walk,” Ferster said.

The Hike takes place on May 3 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Blair Park.

Island Health’s nursing changes unfair to patients

Vancouver Island Health Authority plans to replace RNs with Care Aides is nothing less than a cost-reduction scheme to save money by hiring a lower-paid workforce. All the more money to pay the ever-increasing number of high-5 and 6-figure salaries (plus benefits, perks, and bonuses) enjoyed by executive health-care administrators.

This is nothing less than a scheme to hire a more control-lable workforce, especially if government can use the Temporary Foreign Worker program and bring in folks like the wonderfully compassion-ate and caring people of the Phillipines, for example, who make FABulous nurses and care-aides (as do nurses from Europe and China).

Government knows how hard these people will work to send money home to poverty-stricken families, not rocking the boat by advocating for more staff for fear of having to go back home. No problem, for government, as there are plenty more waiting in the wings to come to Canada.

Like a sick form of 21st cen-tury slavery.

Compared to RNs, Care Aides do not have an adequate level of education to anticipate or detect possible side-effects and/or complications so they can’t be expected to safely and adequately monitor patients’ conditions, decreasing the qual-ity of patient care.

How terribly unfair to

patients.It’s also unfair to Care Aides

who are liable to be named in lawsuits brought by patients’ families when they learn their loved-one (who suffered compli-cations and perhaps died) was being eye-balled primarily by a Care-Aide rather than an RN. Patients and families are going to start suing government for downgraded health-care.

A proposed similar plan to replace vacationing RNs with 2nd year student nurses (at the same level of education as Care Aides) was scrapped at a major Lower Mainland hospital because the hospital’s legal department determined the risk of litigation was too great.

Incidentally, hospital adminis-tration subsequently exercised a campaign of character assas-sination towards the nurse who put the kibosh on the plan by suggesting the plan was legally flawed.

It’s all about “control” over the workforce, but that’s not good enough when patient care is being placed in jeopardy.

The cure: reduce/elimin-ate corporate administration that, like a cancer, is sucking the financial lifeblood out of health-care and administer a hefty dose of staffing with much needed lab and diagnos-tic technicians, doctors, nurses, etc., to adminstrate and admin-ister health-care the way it used to/should be.

The People must take health-care back before it’s corpora-tized right out of existence.

City hall exterior insuffi cient for our futureRecently announced plans

to give city hall a facelift this year have not been

met warmly by all in the com-munity. At a cost of $35,000, the city endeavors to spruce up the main municipal building by installing cedar panels on the exterior, using wood harvested from the west coast of Vancou-ver Island.

With this announcement claims have emerged that the cedar panels would “deface” the historic building’s legacy. Built in 1959, city hall served as the centre for local government when Port Alberni amalgam-ated eight years later with the merging of the community’s northern and southern sections separated by Rogers Creek. It is for this reason that city hall is one of the seven buildings

recognized on the Port Alberni Heritage Register. Although the old train station at the base of Argyle Street is the only structure on the register legally protected from being altered or demolished, the inclusion of city hall gives the building recognition for its place in Port Alberni’s history, encouraging its preservation close to the ori-ginal state.

Now that an alternation to the exterior appearance is in the works, changing city hall’s statement of significance on the heritage register is required – a change that sends the wrong message to the community, according to the group that oversees Port Alberni’s history. In a recent letter to city council from Gareth Flostrand, chair of the Alberni Valley Museum and

Heritage Commission, the board member stated that the new cedar panels would generate perceptions that Port Alberni has little interest in protecting its history.

“The proposed action will directly impact city hall’s state-ment of significance, which is based to a large extent on its architectural design,” Flostrand wrote. “The City of Port Alberni, by modifying the appearance, and so the heritage integrity of this recognized building, sends a message to the larger community that heritage is unimportant.”

The cedar is being donated by Coulson Forest Products in the hope that the panels will put a better face on city hall. The facelift comes with other visual improvements to the building

that are on the agenda this year. Paint stains in the mayor’s office and torn carpet in city hall gives an embarrassing impression to visitors with deep pockets, argued Coulson, who hopes to spark interest to develop the community, including finding a tenant for the former home of Zellers and Woodward’s that currently sits vacant at Third Avenue and Mar Street.

The prevalence of empty store-fronts in the Uptown commer-cial district illustrates the prob-lem with blatant clarity: Busi-ness is lagging in Port Alberni, and more empty commercial spaces would promote negative connotations that plague the community. Any improvements to the face Port Alberni presents to the outside world are valu-able, but should these upgrades

come at the cost of the history that makes the city unique?

The more fitting question in this matter could be this: When was the last time you excitedly showed visitors to Port Alberni our city hall?

While the building’s exterior appearance isn’t unattractive, it hardly warrants attention in a manner the centre of the municipal government should. Port Alberni in the 21st Century deserves better, and the current government deserves credit for attempting a change that could make city hall something all of us can be proud of.

While a variety of different businesses

pose a risky venture in Port Alberni, open-ing a liquor store appears to be a pretty solid bet. Assuming that a public hear-ing held in city hall on Monday doesn’t hold up the paperwork needed to allow a new retail outlet to open on Third Avenue, Port Alberni will soon have nine liquor stores operating within city limits. That’s more per capita than most other communities in B.C. and a far greater availability than what’s offered in Nanaimo or Courtenay. But why get in the way of businesses that are likely to succeed?

The prevalence of alcohol-related social problems in the community offers some reason for concern. The typical adult in the region consumes 177

litres of alcohol each year, compared to the 104-litre annual aver-age found elsewhere in B.C., according to a profile on the Val-ley and Vancouver Island’s west coast released by Island Health in 2014. Rates

of depression, anxiety and high blood pressure are also greater in the Alberni region, all dis-eases that can be fueled by alco-hol abuse. The number of local children who go into protective care by the time they reach adulthood is also triple the rate found across the province.

An adult’s future is up to the individual to determine, but the question begs to be asked if the current availability of alco-hol is contributing to society’s weaknesses that currently clog up the court system with situations that spiraled out of control.

To the Editor:

Re: “Former lawyer with post-traumatic stress sues Canadian Mental Health Association, AV Times March 20.”

Thank you for reporting my story. It reveals important inter-related public interest issues of poverty, homelessness, and the lack of mental health care, espe-cially for PTSD.

Please allow me to clarify a few points in the article about my per-sonal experiences and lawsuit.

I did not use the phrase “mind-controlling religious cult”. I referred to the group that caused my complex PTSD as an evan-gelical Christian fundamentalist cult. I never use the term “mind-control” when discussing the sub-ject of religious abuse because it is misleading and does not accur-ately reflect the indoctrination process.

Regarding the time period I was involved with that cult, I left home at age 16 in 1972. In 1991, while living in a cult commune in Asia, I escaped literally and psychologically. I returned to Canada and in 1992 began my self-directed cult recovery process through a university education.

The article states I received lim-ited treatment for PTSD at Van-couver General Hospital. Initially,

it was quite good care through eight months of group therapy with PTSD expert, Dr. Greg Pas-sey, who treats soldiers, veterans and police. What I did not receive, and still haven’t, was any men-tal health care or support after that group therapy ended, either in Vancouver or here in Port Alberni.

While the article accurately states I lived in a trailer on family property, it left out the import-ant detail that my trailer was so deteriorated no trailer park would accept it. It was not insulated for winter living, the windows were sealed to keep in heat, it had no plumbing and two regu-lar household extension chords for electricity. It was dark, dank and depressing. I was one of Port Alberni’s many hidden homeless, without an address of my own, living in substandard conditions that worsened my health for five years.

The article gives the impres-sion that I am suing the CMHA because of noise disturbances. Actually, the reason I am suing is because they unreasonably attempted to evict me back into a worse state of homelessness than the one they rescued me from. It is an important distinction, because unfair eviction actions often result in the revolving door

of homelessness I was referring to.

My suit alleges the CMHA’s evic-tion action was based on a negli-gent investigation of disturbance allegations made against me. Because of our close relationship, the CMHA owes me a duty of care to act reasonably. I claim that the eviction action breached that duty of care because it did not give me a reasonable opportun-ity to respond to any allegations against me before that action was taken. It was that breach that caused the psychiatric harm I allege I suffered.

The CMHA’s allegation that “I refused to answer the door” when CMHA employees tried to contact me about alleged disturbances is made in their Response to Civil Claim in the court file. It is an unproven and disputed fact. That Response also shows that the CMHA’s agents made no other reasonable efforts to contact and warn me, such as email, phone call, letter by mail, or note under my door, before taking eviction action.

It is not accurate to write that the Residential Tenancy Branch hearing “didn’t materialize after the CMHA-PA didn’t attend, and he got a reprieve.”

First, the hearing did take place, but without any CMHA agents in

attendance. I was sworn in and gave my testimony, supported with a 15-page written submis-sion detailing all the disturbances caused to me by other tenants. The CMHA received a copy of that submission a few weeks before the hearing, but did not provide any evidence of any kind against me or to contradict me. Perhaps that is why no one from CMHA attended, knowing they had no evidence and no case against me?

Second, the word “reprieve” implies that I was guilty of some-thing, but escaped punishment. I did not get “a reprieve” because I was not guilty of anything worthy of eviction. Instead, I received an official Decision that cancelled the Notice of Eviction as if it had never existed.

I only filed my lawsuit after Bob Hargreaves, CMHA-PA executive director, completely ignored my several letters requesting answers and explanations to my ques-tions about why and how he had attempted to evict me.

Thank you for allowing me to set the record straight.

Sincerely,

Perry BulwerPort Alberni

All over the world communities are implement-

ing plans to encourage people to get out of their cars and cycle or walk to their destinations. Bene-fits range from cutting air pollution and green-house gases, to promot-ing physical health and mental well-being.

Bike to Work Week has been celebrated in communities across BC for a number of years. According to Bike To Work BC the movement is gathering momentum as more people of all ages rise to the challenge every year.

In Port Alberni there is only one month to go until Bike to Work Week (BWW) -- May 25-31, 2015.

Our organizing team is working hard to pro-vide Port Alberni with a great lineup of events to encourage everyone to Get Out and Ride...to Work, to School and Any Place Else you have to go.

During the next couple of weeks we’ll be tell-ing you all about the “celebration events” we have planned for BWW,

but the first thing you need to know is that it’s important to register on line at www.biketowork.ca. Bike to Work Week BC has made it really easy to register and when you register, you become eligible to win an all expense paid cyc-ling trip from Prague to Bucharest. If you need any help with registra-tion you can call John at 250-723-2638.

In order to help us stage a great BWW, we have received grants from Bike to Work Week BC and The Alberni Val-ley Community Foun-dation. We also have a great group of local sponsors and supporters.

There will be cycling celebration events every day during BWW. These include: Monday at Save on Foods, Tuesday at ADSS, Wednesday at Echo Centre, Thursday

at Healthy Habits, Fri-day at Steampunk Coffee Shop and Saturday a Bike Rodeo again at Save on Foods.

There is also a great list of prizes to be won. Anyone who rides to the above listed events can register to win one of five prizes includ-ing a bike donated by Save on Foods and four cycling jerseys donated by Coastal Community Credit Union. The more daily events you attend, the more chances you have of winning. Each event will also include refreshments and bike tune ups as well as “cyc-ling goodie bags”.

So stay tuned for more details on BWW. Get ready to “Get Out and Ride” to Work, School and Anywhere Else you have to go. And start by registering at www.biketowork.ca.

Bike to Work Week offers healthy alternative

In case you haven’t done it, dust off your golf clubs, lubricate those

hand carts, and loosen up those one-year-older bodies. Golf season is upon us here at Hollies.

Ladies and Men’s Nights are beginning soon and if you’re new to Port Alberni and want to participate; it’s easy.

There are no qualifying games, forms to be filled out in triplicate, blood tests, or multiple choice quizzes. Just come out, pay, and play. Either Ladies or Men’s Nights are relaxed forms of social outings...period. Guests come out, play nine holes, come in for a meal or a beverage, watch me make a fool of myself, and get some good prizes from our Port Alberni merchants. Golf begins at 5:30 at this time of year in a shot gun format. If you don’t have a game, no worries, we’ll fix you up. Ladies Nights begin May 6th, while Men’s Nights begin May 7th.

New this year, we have named each of our nine holes at Hollies. Hole No. 1 where everyone experiences the first tee jitters is now called “Desolation Sound.”

The second hole’s green is shaped like a heart, so it’s called, “Heart”. Locals noti-cing the hole’s geography might be forgiven naming it Jennifer Aniston though.

The third’s green has been reshaped into a “boomer-ang,” so “Good Day, Mate!” Strange things happen on the Hollie’s 4th and so we named it “Area 51.” Even the Canadian Defence Department denies it’s existence.

One of our previous cus-tomers thought the fifth green reminded him of a “dog biscuit,” hence the name. Some golf balls have mysteriously vanished off the planet on hole No. 6, so we call it now “The Alberni Triangle.” The Hollies hosts Canada’s only bunker on a

green at hole No. 7. This is a tribute to our past member, Mr. Robin Woodward. It’s affectionately called “Rob-in’s Nest.” The grass mound on hole No. 8 is a first in golf also.

Local members claim wit-nessing shots fired from the “grassy knoll.” The pot bun-ker on hole No. 9 is named after one of our less popular past members.

As it would be rude print-ing the hole’s name, we can say that contrary to reports, James Riddle Hoffa isn’t buried in “Ted’s *** ****.”

Also one of our newest sponsor’s Alien Sports is hosting past NHL player Theo Fleury for a book sign-ing date on May 8th between 10-12. You won’t want to miss that.

Finally in conclusion, come on out and support golf in Alberni at Hollies. We play real golf, and there are prizes for closest to the pins, long drives, and putts.

Don’t be shy. Truly, we look forward to seeing you.

And if you need a rea-son, how about this. Last year, the Ladies and Men combined to contribute over $3,000 to our fabulous hospice facility in Port, Ty Watson House. Our little course with its legion of loyalists have donated over $30,000 over that time and its a great cause. Get out and shake off the dust!

SCOREBOARD

Vancouver Canucks winger Daniel Sedin, left, celebrates his goal against the Calgary Flames with his twin brother Henrik in Vancouver Thursday. [THE CANADIAN PRESS]

Canucks win 2-1, escape eliminationJOSHUA CLIPPERTON THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — Daniel Sedin scored early in the third period Thursday as the Vancouver Canucks avoided elimination with a 2-1 victory over the Calgary Flames in Game 5 of their Western Con-ference quarter-final.

The Flames still lead the best-of-seven series 3-2, with Game 6 set for Saturday in Calgary.

Nick Bonino had the other goal for Vancouver, which got 19 saves from Ryan Miller.

David Jones replied for Calgary, while Jonas Hiller stopped 41 shots.

The Canucks snapped a 1-1 tie 1:47 into the third after the Flames iced the puck. Vancouver put out its top line for the offensive zone faceoff and made Calgary pay as Daniel Sedin shovelled home a Dan Hamhuis rebound through Hiller’s pads for his second goal of the series.

Vancouver had to kill off a Calgary power play midway through the period when Hamhuis was whistled for firing the puck over the glass, including a big stop from Miller on Joe Colborne from the slot.

The Flames had another man advantage with under six minutes to go when Henrik Sedin went off for hooking, but didn’t get a single shot on target against Miller, who was making his first start of the series after replacing Eddie Lack in Game 4.

Down 1-0 after the first period, Vancouver tied the game with 6:29 left in the second after a good cycle down low when Bonino took a pass from Radim Vrbata and ripped a shot under the cross-bar from the faceoff dot for his first of the play-offs. Calgary could have taken a 2-0 lead earlier in the period, but Colborne hit the post a minute in before Mason Raymond saw the puck roll off his stick on a clear breakaway.

The Flames went up 1-0 just 2:40 into the first period when Jones jumped on a turnover by Alexander Edler and fired shortside on Miller for his second goal of the series.

TODAY’S CROSSWORD

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green

PREVIOUS PUZZLE

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might feel as if someone is intentionally working against you. This person will do whatev-er he or she thinks will work. Do yourself a favor and pull away quickly. Review your finances before you engage in an expen-diture. Tonight: Keep your dis-tance from a control game.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)Your desire to have a situation play out the way you want it to could cause a rift. You might not realize how damaging your manipulation can be. Let go, and trust that your thoughts will be evaluated once the power play ceases. Tonight: Indulge a friend or loved one.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Someone could be trying to pull you into a power play. Be smart and refuse to be part of the game. A friend will add an unexpected quality to your day. Use some of your innate charm and wit, and success will follow. Tonight: Buy a new item for your wardrobe.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might sense that much is going on behind closed doors. Consider breaking past a bar-

rier. If you succeed, communica-tion will excel. Be aware that someone around you has a crush on you. Could you have a secret admirer? Tonight: Let go, and have fun.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You easily could be over-whelmed by what you are hearing and sensing behind the scenes. Someone you look up to might be on the warpath. Know that you can’t stop this person, but you can withdraw your energy from the situation. Tonight: Paint the town red.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) A new friend suddenly could become contrary. You can’t con-trol this person’s mood, but you can control your response to it. A meeting will allow your inven-tive mind to flourish. Stay on top of what is needed, but avoid becoming controlling. Tonight: Find a spot with great music.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Listen to news with openness, and attempt to deal with a prob-lem. You might need to take the lead, whether you want to or not. Allow greater give-and-take. Your ability to see past the obvious will help you eliminate

what is unnecessary. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Reach out to someone at a dis-tance. You could be delighted by the conversation, though you might hear some unexpected news. A loved one could be diffi-cult. Schedule some one-on-one time with this person if you can. Tonight: Flow with the moment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Deal with individuals rather than groups. You can be more open and get a better grasp on the other party’s thoughts. A child or new friend could surprise you. If you are single, someone you meet today will have a strong effect on you. Tonight: Head out with friends or co-workers.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Go with the flow, even if a sug-gestion sounds a little silly. It might be good for you to head into less-predictable situations. A loved one finally will decide to open up rather than resort to making argumentative com-ments. Tonight: Choose a favor-ite stressbuster.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Allowing more give-and-take would help you get past an unexpected communication. Understand that others could be a little out of whack and more volatile than usual. Let go of judgments, especially when dealing with a powerful friend. Tonight: Lighten your mood.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your creativity will emerge when dealing with an associate who could cause some uproar. A roommate or family member will express his or her caring in a significant way. Your intuition is likely to help you make a choice. Tonight: Your words will make a friend smile.

Alberni women support cancer patients through fashion showKRIS PATTERSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

Boutique Belles Amies recently held its 18th fashion show.

These events are held twice a year in the spring and the fall. Owner, Linda Bowers ensures each one makes a charitable contribution.

The charities are chosen by Bowers’ customers and in the past have included the Ty Wat-son House, Portal Players, Young Life, Salvation Army and Alberni Community and Woman’s Ser-vice Society, among others.

This year when Pat McCor-mick shared her story, Linda was introduced to a charitable organization called the Canadian Cancer Recovery Foundation. After undergoing chemotherapy or radiation, this organization

will send a patient a Healing Spirit Tote Bag free of charge for no other reason than to make her feel better. The totes contain win-ter socks, a mug, a candle, lotion, lip balm, nail polish, nail board, wellness handbook, cancer con-queror book and a Project Beam On Reiki Blanket.

Although there are many free resources which are available to people who are undergoing treatments for cancer, they are not well known, even among the medical community.

Each of the 84 women who attended the Spring Fashion Show on April 21st at the Star-board Grill received a tote bag and a list of the support services and websites for women. The support is meant to lift spirits while in treatment.

McCormick has been forthcom-ing in sharing her story and helping other women realize they are not alone. Her bravery, sense of humour and determination inspired Bowers to make her deci-sion to support this charity.

A portion of the ticket sales for the sold-out event, along with a $100 donation from Brad Decler-cq, owner of the Starboard Grill, lead to a $400 donation to Pink Diamond Women’s Cancer Fund of the Canadian Cancer Recovery Foundation. For more informa-tion on available support go to http://cancerrecovery.ca.

Vancouver fuel spill indicates research shortcomings after federal cuts: AquariumLAURA KANE THE CANADIAN PRESS

A toxic fuel spill in Vancouver’s harbour underscores a major gap in research and readiness because of federal cuts to science programs, says an expert with the city’s aquarium.

Peter Ross said there is no cohesive long-term monitoring of British Columbia’s coastal eco-systems. The lack of baseline data makes it difficult for scientists to assess the spill’s impact, he said.

“We think there is a gap in terms of our capacity to understand the ocean, document our impact on the ocean, and consequently that renders very, very difficult our ability to protect the ocean,” he said in a phone interview.

“These sorts of spills simply underscore our lack of under-standing and preparedness for anything like this.”

The bulk grain carrier MV Marathassa dumped at least 2,700 litres of bunker fuel into English Bay last Wednesday and the oil quickly spread to beaches in the

bay, along Stanley Park and on West Vancouver’s shores.

Ross said the Vancouver Aquar-ium learned of the spill through media reports last Thursday and immediately sent scientists to take oil, water and sediment samples. Aquarium divers have collected sediment from the sea floor.

Both the Department of Fish-eries and the City of Vancouver have also taken water and sedi-ment samples.

“There is no official clarity around who is to monitor the effects of a spill,” said Ross.

The federal government cut mil-lions in funding to Fisheries in 2012. More than 50 scientists lost their jobs, including Ross, whose marine toxicology program was shut down.

While the province shares some responsibility for monitoring its coast, it is up to Fisheries to mon-itor marine life health, said Ross.

Fisheries did not immediately respond to a request for com-ment, but issued a public state-

ment Thursday that said it is developing a long-term plan to monitor spill effects.

It said fisheries sampling is underway and there has been no evidence of any impact to public health and safety.

The department said Tuesday it was closing recreational fisheries west of Lions Gate Bridge — six

days after the spill. It said it took the precaution immediately after advice from Vancouver Coastal Health.

At the same time, it said samples taken from the waters surround-ing the ship had hydrocarbon levels below laboratory detection limits and met federal and provin-cial guidelines.

The Musqueam First Nation issued its own urgent notice one day after the spill, warning those who harvest crab and prawn to stop.

The city said it expects to share results of its testing with health authorities by the end of the week.

Weekend Entertainment

The Rainbow Room will host two nights of reggae.. [SUBMITTED PHOTO]

Roots, Rock, Reggae weekend at the Rainbow Room. Fredlocks Asher and the Ultra Flex Crew featuring Kass 1 and Rasta Reuben bring two nights of cut-ting edge music on Friday and Saturday.

Port Alberni’s own Miles Black Trio featuring jazz & blues vocalist Maureen Washington hit Char’s Landing on Saturday night.

Known primarily as one of Canada’s most accomplished jazz pianists, Miles is also highly acclaimed and sought after as an arranger, producer, composer, session musician, guitarist, vocalist, bassist, saxophonist, songwriter, and musical theatre director.

Maureen Washington slips easi-ly from sassy to sexy within a sin-gle line of lyrics, at times echoing the haunting tones of Etta James and Carmen McRae. Quicker than the mind and ear can make the transition, Maureen Wash-ington exudes the impish irrever-ence of Jann Arden and the vocal agility of Holly Cole. And yet, with all splendor attached to such comparisons, Maureen’s musical style remains distinctly her own.

Catch them both from 8 - 10 p.m.

COMMUNITY ARTS

The Barkley Sounds Choir will perform “Jukebox Favourites” this Sunday. [SUBMITTED PHOTO]
