A deal that was expected to boost the community’s economy through the use of waterfront land has yielded no signs of new development since the lease was signed by the city and the Port Alberni Port Authority a year ago.

After being used for little more than sorting logs over the pre-vious 23 years, the city began a 25-year lease for the publicly owned land next to Canal Beach on July 1, 2014. The agreement came with lofty plans to expand Canadian Alberni Engineering’s shipyards onto the shoreline lots through a sublease with the port authority, who have access to the former Alberni Plywood site at a rate of $1,200 a month.

Over five years Alberni Engin-eering’s workforce was expected to grow from 34 to 120 employees, but one year into the lease of the old plywood site an arrangement has yet to be made between the port authority and the local ship-building company.

“The sublease with CAE has yet to be concluded,” said Dave McCormick, the port authority’s director of public relations and business development, who add-ed that the lease rate has been paid to the city over the last year. “The port authority had entered

the lease with the city in good faith and continues to work in good faith under the terms of that lease to fulfill all of our obligations.”

A missing hiker was found safe after spending Wednesday night on Mount Adder.

Search and rescue were called for aid when one women from a small party of hikers from Port Alberni went missing.

The hikers started ascending the mountain, located near Sum-mit Pass, during the day, and the 65-year old woman split from the group to hike the summit on her own.

Assumed lost, the rest of the group called the Alberni Valley Search and Rescue for help.

“Initially we thought someone was injured,” said Dave Poulsen, AVSAR president. “It turned out it was a lost hiker, so we responded and started hiking up. We called in a team from Tofino. They were going to drop on top of the mountain with a helicop-ter but because of the darkness,

Tim Van Horn stops in Port Alberni with his Canadian Mosaic Project camper on Tuesday. Van Horn has made five trips from coast to coast to coast in six years, photographing 40,000 Canadians.

Tim Van Horn adds Valley faces to Canadian Mosaic Project

Cross-country tour stops in Port AlberniMARTIN WISSMATH ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

Port Alberni is struggling to find its identity, much like the rest of Canada, says a photog-rapher travelling across the coun-try to celebrate the 150th anniver-sary of Confederation in 2017.

Tim Van Horn’s Canada bus rolled into Port Alberni on Tues-day, stopping by the Alberni Valley Times in the afternoon. The 46-year-old from Red Deer, Alta. began criss-crossing the country from coast to coast to coast in 2008. He’s gone through three vehicles in five road trips so far. What began as a smaller project for the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver has turned into an epic journey to traverse the nation and photograph 54,000 Canadians – about 0.15 per cent of the population.

Van Horn’s “bus” is decorated

with a mosaic of faces, some of the 40,000 residents of the vast Canadian landscape he’s captured in his lens. He’s trying to capture a sense of Canada’s diversity, he said, and inspire a greater feeling of community.

“We’re all struggling to find our way,” Van Horn said. “Our whole societal structure is going through enormous change. The economics as we know it are changing.”

Van Horn has a vision to con-vey and he’s working on a new multimedia vehicle to exhibit his Canadian Mosaic Project, along with a book chronicling his trav-els. Both will be launched when he begins his final cross-coun-try journey on July 1, 2017 in Victoria.

The Canadian Mosaic Project is about inspiring national pride, and a “reconnection to Canada and the idea of our citizenship,” Van Horn said. “We need to come together as a community and work on a grassroots level and help one another out.”

Van Horn’s upbringing as the son of a father who served in the Canadian Army for 26 years has instilled in him a sense of service to his country, he said.

“I feel like this is my creative tour of duty,” he said.

Students looking for summer jobs might have to pound the pavement harder this season.

Unemployment rates for youth are increasing nation-wide, according to Statistics Canada. The May 2015 Labour Force Sur-vey indicates the unemployment rate for students was at 15.1 per cent in Canada overall, up from 13.6 per cent last year. The good news is that in B.C., the num-ber is lower at 12.9 per cent for returning students.

Local industry experts cannot pinpoint figures for the student job market in Port Alberni but have advice for job seekers.

“Pulling these numbers down to Port Alberni is an ongoing challenge,” said Bill Brown, community partnership coordin-ator at the Alberni Valley Employment Centre. “In the last few months we have had the highest job posting period ever, with about 20 to 47 job postings per week.”

Those jobs range from retail, labour, hospitality and auto-motive detailing.

“These are the jobs students should be applying for,” Brown said.

Brown’s advice for young people is to get out on the streets.

“This is the time to start mar-keting yourself,” he said. “It is good to remember that 85 per cent of vacancies are not adver-tised. You have to get out there and talk to employees.”

In the counselling centre at ADSS, counselor Rob Ostwald said times have changed.

“When I was in school, it was easy to get a summer job work-ing 40 hours a week,” he said. “So, yes there are jobs out there, but how many hours a week are they actually getting?”

Career counsellor Greg Free-thy said volunteering helps.

“This year we have 34 students doing 100 hours of work experi-ence,” Freethy said. “They get high school credit, plus they are building their resumes, which leads to future opportunities.”

Brown said the biggest thing when meeting face-to-face with potential employers is attitude.

“Once hired, show enthusiasm and participate in your job,” he said.

BC Hydro smart meters are safe, well tested

BC Hydro takes electrical safety seriously and the installation of smart meters has made the elec-tricity grid safer for customers. We have installed 1.9 million new meters since 2011 and they have been operating safely for several years now.

Our meters undergo rigorous quality assurance testing by both the manufacturer and BC Hydro to ensure they are safe, accurate and reliable.

They must also pass stringent federal and North American stan-dards set by: Measurement Can-ada, American National Standards Institute, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and International Electrotechnical Commission.

These standards address topics such as humidity, rain, voltage surge and accuracy to ensure meters operate properly. All BC Hydro meters, including smart meters, are thoroughly tested against these standards before they are installed in the field.

The new meter also provides more surge protection and will send BC Hydro voltage alerts help-ing us ensure power is delivered safely.

Modernizing the electricity grid with smart meters plays a crucial role in BC Hydro’s plan to provide a secure and reliable power system for customers all over the province.

Once complete, a modernized grid will help BC Hydro improve its management of the electricity system, lower costs, reduce theft, encourage conservation and help

detect outages.

B.C. forestry wages too high to cut lumber here

Unbelievable to hear negative raw log exports comments from Mayor Mike Ruttan and MLA Scott Fraser without facing the facts and reality.

Their comments all miss the number one point.

The lumber industry is now com-petitive, and to be competitive, B.C.

forest manufacturing WAGES have to come down lower.

If our mills cannot produce the lumber at a lower rate of employee wages, then what is the point of having a large inventory of lumber that is not selling?

This means that mills close, but with log exports, we still have tax-payers working, many in fact.

Local NDP MLA Scott Fraser, who does not live in this riding, and is paid a taxpayer funded sal-ary of $102,878, seems to blow off a lot of steam in regards to raw log exports.

During the NDP government years of Glen Clark in B.C., the NDP created their own forest practices code, with more than 4,500 regulations contained in 252 sections, 19 regulation books and 36 guide books added at least one billion in costs to the forest indus-try for no public benefit making the coastal forest industry the highest cost producer of timber in the world.

Between 1991 and 2001, 39 mills closed because of the NDP prov-incial government and not by the economy.

Then NDP premier Glen Clark ordered the forest industry to cre-ate 21,000 new jobs over five years or lose timber cutting rights; 13,000 jobs disappeared because of his bogus threats.

In summary, to see these raw logs being exported to be cut here in B.C., the wages have to be reduced, as B.C. is not the only place in the world to buy lumber and if Mike Ruttan and Scott Fraser disagree, then I ask them why do they get three estimates when putting a new roof on their home, or going

to five different car dealerships when looking to buy a new car?

It is time for them to prac-tice what they are preaching. Unbelievable, but true. Also Mick-ey Mouse on their part.

School zone signs misplaced in Nanaimo

A few years ago I noticed many speeders in an elementary school zone on Hammond Bay Road. I then noticed that there was no special warning to advise drivers of entering a school zone. The Nanaimo Daily News published my letter to the editor.

The city, as common practice, never thanked me about my con-cerns for all residents, especially school-age children and their parents.

A while later, new road signs appeared and are still there. The signs, ‘END of school zone’ should have been placed on the right side of the road – not the left – and should have been placed at the start of the school zone, with spe-cial highlighting effects. We are told that the city must sky wages to have personnel with exceptional qualities.

Waterfront deserves more than false hopesI t’s become clear that an ambi-

tious plan to develop under-utilized waterfront property

has fallen far short of the expect-ations that were heralded by city, Canadian Alberni Engineering and the port authority a year ago.

The public land was supposed to provide for the expansion of Alberni Engineering’s ship-yards, bringing a new facility and nearly 100 well-paying jobs to the community. But as an arrangement is yet to be made between the ship building com-pany and the port authority (who are leasing the land from the city), plans for the water-front property now seem more like false hopes to bring more than log sorting to the lots next to Canal Beach.

The failure of new develop-ment over the first year of the property’s lease will undoubt-ably unleash a flood of public frustration. The waterfront deal was easily one of the most contentious local news stories last year, as many residents wanted the land to be opened up for public use, allowing Canal Beach to expand north. Now time is running out to ful-fill requirements of the lease, especially one stipulation that $500,000 worth of improve-ments must be built on the underutilized land by summer next year.

The lots currently being leased by the city to the port authority comprise two thirds of the former home of the Alberni Plywood mill, an oper-

ation that shut down in 1991. After years of being used for little more than log sorting and heavy equipment storage, a portion of the former mill site was finally converted into something the public could appreciate with the develop-ment of Canal Beach in 2013. Now a petition is rapidly grow-ing to give the public access to the remainder of the waterfront property, calling on city council to cancel it’s lease with the port authority.

An illustration fabricated for the petition’s website shows the public enjoying a gazebo overlooking the shore with a nearby a playground sur-rounded by green grass. It’s a utopian image in comparison to the existing log piles and empty

space on the former plywood site, but environmental studies commissioned by the city give a different picture of what can be safely done with the land. A report released in February 2013 called the old plywood lots next to Canal Beach a “classic example of a Brownfield site,” which is an underutilized industrial property contam-inated from past use. Ten environmental investigations concluded that soil within the land carries quantities of heavy metals and other industrial byproducts, making any future decisions on how the tainted land can be used a challenge.

The central issue here is the future of Port Alberni’s water-front. Should the city look closely into a community like

Parksville, which has beach parks that attract visitors from across Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland? Or does the shoreline best serve the Port Alberni community as is has in the past, as a means of promoting an industrial, work-ing waterfront?

Now that it’s clear a major decision on the waterfront land next to Canal Beach has failed to bring results, a different dir-ection is needed to bring Port Alberni’s shoreline out of the stagnation it has suffered over the last generation.

Yewchin is part of a team with Alberni District Secondary, E.J. Dunn and A.W.

Bill Johnson wins fi rst low net with 65 on the card

Men’s club action on the green; low scores

In men’s club action on Sunday. From the blue tees Cory Neilson won

the low gross winning by retrogression with a 76.

From the white tees Glen Trask was first low gross shooting a 79. First low net was won by Bill Johnson carding a 65, followed by Terry Rai coming through with 68, Steve Pointon shot 69 to claim third low net by retrogression. In the blue division the deuce pot wasn’t won, so there will be a draw at a latter date.

From the white tees there were three deuce pots won,

Ted Stewart won two and Peter Mugleston won the other one.

Closest to the pins were recorded by Peter Mugle-ston on No. 2, Glen Trask on No.4. Jacques Giovetti on No.13 and no one managed to hit No. 17 green.

Just a reminder gentle-men, there will be no Men’s

Club for the next two weeks.

This coming Saturday and Sunday is the West Coast Amateur. There are plenty of spots left for anyone wanting to play in it. The following Sunday is the Ladies West Coast.

The Next Men’s Club event will be the Port Boat House blue, white and Red on July 5. See you then.

SCOREBOARD

Colabello homers as Jays dump MetsGREGORY STRONG THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Chris Colabello homered and Jose Bautista drove in two runs as the Toronto Blue Jays dumped New York 7-1 on Thursday night for their second straight rout of the Mets.

Toronto knuckleballer R.A. Dickey got the bet-ter of Bartolo Colon in the first matchup of start-ing pitchers aged 40 or older since 2008.

Dickey allowed one run over 7 1/3 innings to help the Blue Jays sweep the two-game mini-ser-ies and pick up their 13th win in 15 games.

Dickey (3-6) was wild at times but settled down after an uneven start. He walked three batters in the second inning to load the bases before get-ting Curtis Granderson on a strikeout.

Colabello reached on an error by second base-man Dilson Herrera, moved to second on a Rus-sell Martin groundout and scored on a Kevin Pillar single.

The Blue Jays scored five runs in the fourth inning to put the game out of reach. After three straight singles loaded the bases, Ryan Goins hit a one-out grounder to Lucas Duda at first base, who threw to shortstop Wilmer Flores at second for the force.

Pillar slid hard and wide to prevent the double play as Martin scored from third base. Jose Reyes followed with a single that scored Ezequiel Car-rera and Josh Donaldson doubled to score Goins and move Reyes to third. Bautista brought both runners home with a single.

In the fifth, Juan Lagares stroked a two-out double to the gap for New York’s first hit of the night. Duda flew out to the warning track to leave him stranded.

Colabello led off the Toronto half of the frame by belting a 1-0 pitch for his fifth homer of the year. Colon was pulled with one out in the inning. The 42-year-old right-hander allowed six earned runs, nine hits and a walk while striking out four. Duda hit a rainbow solo shot in the eighth inning to end Dickey’s shutout bid.

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green

PREVIOUS PUZZLE

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You simply can’t make a bad choice, as all possibilities seem very desirable. You must look past the obvious when dealing with a loved one; this person is really making an effort to connect with you. A loved one’s imagination delights you. Tonight: Let it all hang out.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Play it low-key, and stay close to home. Should you need to work, try doing so from home, or con-sider taking a half-day off. Luxu-riating and enjoying yourself fits your mood. Tonight: You are likely to invite some friends over to enjoy an easy, relaxed evening.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Say what you want, and then do what you want. Others will be unusually receptive to your ideas and how you express yourself. Maintain a sense of humor. Be aware of the cost of a particular decision, both financially and emotionally. Tonight: As you like it.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)You will be more in touch with your feelings than you have been

in a long time. Honor a change in what goes on around you. You seem to be much more light-hearted these days. Know that an idea you want to follow through on could be costly. Tonight: Make it OK to be treated.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)You’ll be a receptive ear to a partner or friend. You like shar-ing and giving feedback with this particular person. Your conversa-tions lead to many different ideas. Let your imagination flow, and you might be surprised by what occurs. Tonight: Beam in what you want.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)You might not have as much say as you would like, so you’ll become more of an observer. Don’t think that your silence is not noticed -- someone is likely to try to draw you out in a discus-sion. You will be shocked by a loved one’s ideas. Tonight: Vanish while you can.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)You might feel as if nothing can stop you, but you still will need to rethink a situation. Be more forthright about your feelings

toward a loved one. This person will appreciate your openness, as it allows him or her to get past a self-imposed restriction. Tonight: Have fun!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)Stay on top of an important situ-ation. You could be exhausted and looking for a way to shorten your time spent dealing with a problem. Your creativity will find the right path once again. Beware of a boss or higher-up who is observing you! Tonight: As easy as it gets.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might be overwhelmed by all the chatter around you and by the questions directed at you. Try to handle what you can, and postpone personal conversations for the weekend. Understand what is needed to satisfy a family member. Tonight: Try a new spot for TGIF!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Deal with a loved one directly. You’ll find discussions to be far more rewarding when they are done on a one-on-one level. You could be confused by what you hear, but once you sort through everything you have heard, you can’t help but smile. Tonight: With a favorite person.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)Though the attention might be focused on a loved one or a dear friend, you’ll enjoy being less visible for now. Your creativity mixed with your whimsical nature is likely to impress many people. Stay calm, even if others seem uptight. Tonight: Say “yes” to an invitation.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could be overwhelmed by the many ideas that keep popping into your head. Listen to someone who seems to have the gift of gab. You might not want to play a part in this person’s suggestions, as your thoughts probably are elsewhere. Tonight: Join friends for TGIF.

It is with incredible sadness that we share that Michael Cha-hil,born October 17, 1975 in Port Alberni passed away sud-denly on June 12, 2015 inVan-couver, BC.

Michael was one of the kindest and gentlest souls we had the great fortune of knowing. He was always non-judgemental, thoughtful, fun-loving, loyal and the life of any party he was at. He taught us all a lot about how to love,

how to forgive and how to support one another. Mi-chael made anyone andeveryone he met feel so warmly loved and special. Michael will be greatly missed by his mother - Jaspal, father - Jagat, wife – Sandie, sister - Nan-cy, and brother - Dwayne (Juggy).

Funeral services will be held at Riverside Funeral Home (7410 Hopcott Rd, Delta, BC) on Saturday, June 20, 2015 at 11am. This will be followed by a paht at the Ross Street Sikh Temple (8000 Ross St, Vancouver, BC).

For everyone who knew Michael, you know that we all lost a great friend. He will forever be embedded in our hearts & minds, until we embrace again. God bless and RIP.

Michael ChahillOctober 17, 1975 ~ June 12, 2015

Born May 14th 1926 in Sask., passed away on June 8th, 2015 just weeks after his 89th birthday following a courageous second battle with cancer.  Predeceased by his first wife Avis in 2007, his daughter Sandy in 2005, and his second wife Evelyn Johanson

in 2013,  Rudy leaves behind his daughter, Diane (Brian), grand-

children Carey & Ashley, Brad (Bev), great-granddaughters Tayrn & Darian,

Brian (Samantha).  Also survived by his step-children, Michelle (Glen), grandchildren Amy, Donelle & Brandon, step-daughter Louise, grandchildren, Chris (Megan) and great granddaughter Zoe, and Roger.  Rudy also leaves behind his very dear friend Renate and many dear friends and family.

Rudy came to Port Alberni after leaving his family homestead in Saskatchewan when he was in his early 20’s.  He quickly found work at APD, soon after met and married his first wife Avis and continued to work until he retired in the 90’s.  During that time, he and Avis travelled the world, and spent time with their family.  Both were active in the Elks Lodge, and Rudy was one of the last members spanning over 40 years, when it closed the local chapter in 2014.  Rudy was also an avid golfer for many years, a member of C.O.P.S and the Sunshine Club, as well as a member of the Southside Church.

 After losing his first wife, he married Evelyn in 2009, and they had a wonderful time travelling, meeting with friends and family, the Sunshine Club and the church. Sadly, Evelyn passed in 2013, and Rudy bravely continued to live each day with great courage and faith, and always with a smile. 

He was a devoted husband, a loving father and grandfather, a loving friend to all and will be sadly missed.

  A Celebration of Life will be held at the Southside Community Church of the Nazarene at 11:30am on Saturday, July 4th, 2015. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to a charity of your choice in Rudy’s memory.

Special thanks to Dr. Depape, Home Support & especially Ty Watson House for their incredible kindness and support during Rudy’s last months, he really enjoyed his time there.

CHARLESTON SHOOTINGS

Friends call suspect ‘average kid’Dylann Roof went through a variety of family issues but never talked about them, said acquaintanceTIM FLACH, SAMMY FRETWELL AND HARRISON CAHILL THE STATE (COLUMBIA, S.C.)

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Friends and fellow students are surprised that the quiet but occasionally disruptive Dylann Roof they recall is the shooter accused of the Charleston church killings.

Many of those interviewed Thursday had not stayed in touch with Roof, 21, since classes together in a variety of schools in Richland and Lexington counties.

“I never looked at him like he was trying to actually harm somebody,” said Caleb Brown, 21, who attended elementary and middle school with Roof.

“He wasn’t a loner or anything. He was just an average kid in school. He would be the class clown for attention. There is nothing I could see that I would say straight-faced that there was something wrong with that kid,” Brown said.

Roof went through a variety of family issues but never talked about them, Brown said.

“He wasn’t an expressively emo-tional person,” Brown said. “If there was anything wrong with him, I got the impression that he was the kind of person that sup-presses any emotions.”

Others say Roof was a bit goofy.“He was kinda weird in the

hyperactive, elementary schooler kind of way but he was nice,” said Cade McConnell. a student at Rosewood Elementary with Roof in 2004. “Nothing ever seemed out

of the ordinary. He was a little kooky in a seemingly harmless way.”

Roof didn’t join other students who went on to college and careers. He told police in Febru-ary that “his parents were pres-suring him to get a job” during his arrest for possession of illegal narcotics, according to an inci-dent report.

Roof is facing charges for drugs in Lexington County after being arrested Feb. 28 by Columbia

police at Columbiana Centre mall, according to an arrest warrant. He had a bottle con-taining what police believe to be unprescribed Suboxone pills, it said. The drug is commonly used to treat opiate addiction.

Police went to the mall after security officers there notified them that Roof was going into stores asking “out-of-the-ordinary questions” such as the number of employees and closing time, the incident report said.

During the conversation, Roof “was becoming more nervous-act-ing” before allowing a search in which the pills were found, it said. He was banned from the mall at the time.

On April 26, Roof was charged with trespassing after he was found in the mall’s parking lot and received an additional three-year ban. The Charleston shoot-ings may have been a hate crime, the Anti-Defamation league said in a statement. A photo of Roof

on his Facebook page shows him wearing a jacket with two patches used by white supremacists in Africa, it said.

His Facebook page shows Afri-can-American friends.

Brown, who is of mixed race, said Roof never overstepped racial boundaries.

“I’ll get into a fight if you call me something,” said Brown, a student at the University of Houston. “But Dylann never did that.”
