Nursing around the worldWorking in Sri Lanka strengthens woman’s resolve to continue nursing

KATYA SLEPIANALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

With a love of foreign languages and a desire to help others, overseas

nursing was the perfect fit for Port Alberi native Randi Levasseur.

The 23-year-old had attempted to go to Nepal during her third year of a four-year Bachelor of Nursing program at North Island College (NIC) in Courtenay but when that trip fell through, she spent the next year arranging her own practicum. She finally found a program that she was comfortable with and started her practicum at Kandy Hospital, the second largest hospital in Sri Lanka, on Jan, 3.

Levasseur chose the country based on a “gut instinct” and went with Work the World, a company that offered overseas healthcare internships with a nursing focus.

“[They] set up the practicum,

the housing... flight, insurance... everything.”

While Levasseur had prepared for her six-week-long trip by learning basic Sinhalese and studying the culture, nursing in a conservative city in Sri Lanka was very different than nursing in Canada had been. During her nursing degree at NIC, she and her classmates were taught importance of communication between doctors, nurses and patients. In a crowded Sri Lankan hospital however, she soon learned that overtaxed nurses simply didn’t have the time.

“You do what you can to survive and keep your patients alive and that’s the mentality over there,” she says, adding, “it’s not to say that the nursing is any better or any worse here

or there, it’s just different. They do what they can with what they’ve got and it was amazing.”

The difficulties presented by the lack of time were compounded by the lack of

technology that Levasseur had always taken for granted.

“Over there we wouldn’t even have a tourniquet... here you use a tourniquet to get blood or to start and IV [but] over there you use a piece of

plastic, anything to cut off the circulation. Over here we use a lot of IV fluids in the hospital; we just didn’t have access to that overseas. You’re able to use a lot of machinery, [over there] everything is manual, if you even have it.”

Sometimes the lack of necessary equipment led to

heartbreaking decisions. When four people needed oxygen tanks and Levasseur only had access to three, she had to choose.

“I had to make the decision as to which one of my patients wouldn’t get oxygen, whereas in the hospital here it’s not a question, everyone gets oxygen no matter what.”

Despite the challenges, she loved her time in Sri Lanka.

“I want to go back there... It’s a beautiful country [with] the most friendly people and I feel like only having two days off on the weekends we spent so much traveling that I didn’t really get to see as much as much as I wanted.”

Her time overseas also furthered her desire to continue with nursing. She hopes to go to the northern Himalayas through the Himalayan Health Exchange with some college friends. “You go to these very rural outposts where the only medical care that

they get is from these outposts of doctors, dentists, nurses who go there once or twice a year. It’s the only medical care they get because it’s just so hard to get to them.”

For now though, Levasseur is working at Home and Community Care here in Port Alberni to gain more experience.

“We see clients in their homes and in the clinic and the idea is to keep them healthy and keep them out of the hospital and treat them. They’re generally wound or palliative clients.”

She has a six-month full time new graduate position at the centre and after that hopes to continue on a casual basis.

“When I’m a casual I’ll work in the community and hopefully also get an acute position so that I’m able to do both and get both sides of the experience. I love nursing so [anything to get] experience.”

Fish dump sparks outrage

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Wawmeesh Hamilton found the salmon behind his house on Saturday, Aug. 16.


Disgust and dismay were Alberni resident Wawmeesh Hamilton’s reaction to finding 30 salmon dumped behind his house on Saturday morning.

His daughters had been picking berries at the treeline behind his house on the Hupacasath reserve at around 9:30 a.m. when a neighbour alerted them to a large pile of fish that had been dumped there.

“I went to the treeline and about 20 feet to the left there was this big pile of fish. They looked like they were either sockeye or coho salmon,” said Hamilton.

The fish looked relatively new but there were signs of maggots beginning to form.

“It looked like it had been dumped there within a day or two,” he said.

Both the commercial and Aboriginal fisheries in Port Alberni had been closed for a couple of weeks before the salmon were found.

While the sports fishery had stayed open, Hamilton thought it unlikely

that someone had caught so many fish in one day only to dump them.

But regardless of who is to blame, Hamilton wishes they had thought before creating so much waste.

“You have to think of your own ability to store or process them yourself,” he said, “[but] if you do take

them and you greatly underestimate your ability to handle them, the Clutesi Haven Marina is a block and a half away from where they dumped the fish and they could have brought them [to the marina] and asked around. No one wants to see that kind of fish dumped.”

The PAFD was called out to Roger Creek shortly after 10 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 18 after receiving a call about a mostly extinguished campfi re.“There was a campfi re down on the riverbank behind Dolan’s [Concrete]. It was already mostly out so we took it apart and made sure it was completely out,” said Capt. Ed Francoeur.That wasn’t all they found.“There appears to have been a couple other fi res out there recently also on the riverbank, close to the river, so kind of safe but in this weather still not safe enough. We can’t have any campfi res right now.”Port Alberni is currently under an open fi re ban until October [email protected]

The Port Alberni Fire Department was put on standby over the weekend from Friday until Monday night at 10 p.m.

Effective Monday morning, the province’s own initial attack responders will be back in the Alberni Valley to deal with regional fires.

However, PAFD Fire Chief Tim Pley said that there was a good chance that the fire department could be put back on standby as the fire season continues. This fire season is considered one of the worst in recent history and the Alberni Valley has only recently been downgraded to a moderate fire risk, down from a high risk rating last [email protected]

The Roger Creek Culvert replacement at the Redford Street Extension is coming along well, according to project manager Alan Galambos of R.F. Binnies & Associates Ltd., who won the tender for the project.

“We’re nearly ready to excavate the culvert, that will start this week,” he said, adding that “the concrete abutments are nearing completion and the next stage is to put the steel girders on.”

The girders are set to be installed from 11 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 27 to 5 a.m. on Thursday Aug. 28. During that time period the Port Alberni Highway will be closed to the public between Maebelle Road and

Galiano Drive.The culvert is being

replaced by a 44-metre single span steel girder bridge at a cost of $5 million due to the risk of a washout from culvert’s narrow opening being clogged with logging debris. If there was a washout, West Coast General Hospital and the city could be flooded.

There is temporarily a one-way stoplight controlled bridge at the site in order to allow traffic to flow through.

Work on replacing the culvert started in March and is due to end at the end of November.

“The official contract completion date is November 30.. we’ll possibly even complete it a bit ahead of time,” said [email protected]


Redford Extension progressing smoothly


Construction crews from R.F. Binnies and Associates Ltd. work on the new 44 metre single span bridge that will replace the old Roger Creek culvert.

City of Port Alberni



The Sproat Lake Marine Patrol’s future will be in Alberni residents’ hands when they go to the polls in November.

Due to a vote made by the Alberni-Clayquot Regional District (ACRD) at their Aug. 13 meeting, the decision whether to pay for the $30,000 per year service will be left in voters’ hands, though at a price.

Penny Cote, Vice-Chairperson of the ACRD and the elected official for Sproat Lake, had argued for the ACRD to use the alternate approval process in order to avoid paying for the $10,000 referendum.

The SLMP provides an essential service to not only locals but everyone who comes out to Sproat Lake, said Cote of the service which is currently funded by federal grants. While

the SLMP is looking for ACRD funding, they’ve also asked the province for funds.

But regardless of who pays, Cote thinks the SLMP is worth it.

“[They help with]jumpstarting, assisting boaters in distress and providing providing valuable safety information,” she said, and “they do a school education program for all the different age groups for ‘Kids don’t float.’”

They also do more than just provide information.

“The other day someone cut his foot open,” said Ashley Jones, one of the four SLMP volunteers,

“so we helped him.” They make sure that boats keep out of the swimming area and keep the water clean and report any invasive species that they see out on the lake.

The SLMP also rents out free lifejackets at the lake for anyone who doesn’t have one.

By keeping an active presence out at the lake, the SLMP is preventing drownings on the lake.

“I would really attribute a lot of the safety here to the education programs and the presence of the marine patrol on the lake. People don’t do silly things while there’s someone out there that looks authorative,” said Cote.

“We’re actually gathering some information right now on drownings, because really we haven’t had any drownings in the area,” said Cote. “When you look

around the province at other lakes there’s been terrible tragedies here and there and Transport Canada is using us as an example of the right thing to do [in terms of] educating locals about water

safety.”The program, which

started in 2002, is funded by grants up until 2017 but Coun. Jack McLeman, who represents Port Alberni on the ACRD, said that the way the service is funded

needs to change after that date.

“I support that we have a Sproat Lake Marine Patrol,” he said, “but what we’re told by the CAO of the regional district is that we can’t keep doing grants and aid

to ourselves for one of our services.”

“I really hope that people understand the value that this service provides for everybody and they’ll support it,” said [email protected]


SLMP funding goes to referendum


Courtney McKay, Ashley jones, Rhylie Lee and Shayla Frechette of the Sproat Lake Marine Patrol keep an eye out for any unsafe behaviour at Sproat Lake on Monday, Aug. 11.

‘‘I really hope that people understand

the value that this service provides.’’

VICTORIA - Today I’ll attempt to cut through the

speculation and fear-mongering that have swirled around the Mount Polley mine dam breach and tell you what’s really known.

As Black Press and our local publication the Williams Lake Tribune reported before and after the incident, the mine reopened in 2005 after a four-year shutdown and was expanding its operation, including the tailings pond. Rising metal prices helped put 380 unionized employees plus management back to work. Most are now working on rebuilding the tailings dam and cleaning up the spill site.

Imperial Metals applied earlier this summer for an increase in water discharge, and was waiting for B.C. government approval at the time of

the Aug. 4 dam breach. This was to be the second amendment to a water release permit issued when the mine started up in 1997. It has had a surplus of water due to rain and snow accumulation since it opened (under an NDP government, for those who want to turn everything into a political corruption story).

The reason water release has been allowed is that in the absence of acid-producing rock, metal contamination of water is minimized. Imperial Metals’ routine tests with rainbow trout in undiluted tailings pond water have now been confirmed by environment ministry results, and water and fish from all but the immediate spill area have been cleared for human consumption.

For an example of acid

mine drainage, look up the Britannia Mine Museum, now a reclaimed national historic site with a water treatment plant built to function for hundreds of years. Before that, acid-produced toxic metal

pollution drained from the abandoned mine into Howe Sound for decades.

Early tests at Mount Polley indicate that this sort of long-term water remediation may not be required. The initial pulse

of suspended sediment didn’t last long enough to affect fish in most of Quesnel Lake, much less the Fraser River system. Sediment tests show elevated iron and copper, with “leachability” results to come. Containment and removal will have to be undertaken.

On May 24 of this year, Mount Polley received the

first high water warning in its history. This was not a “breach,” contrary to some reports. The latest water permit application and work to raise the dam took place after that.

It’s not difficult to deduce from aerial photos what was happening as mine management found ways to extend operation, including an underground phase. The pond was filling up with pulverized rock, reducing its capacity to hold water. Most of the accumulation is still there for all to see, as is the cross-section of the dam so abruptly exposed in the wee hours of Aug. 4.

It may be months before inspectors and geotechnical engineers can determine the cause of the breach, which occurred with the water level 2.5 metres below the top of the dam, well within permit specifications. Either the design of the earthworks was not adequate, or it was not adequately followed.

TV crews have packed up and left, after sucking out the initial drama and

EDITORIAL

Mine warning for the Island

The recent Mount Polley Mining tailing pond breach in Likely, B.C. should serve as a warning to all of us on Vancouver Island, none more so than those in charge of granting mining licences.

While media and political parties point the finger of blame this way and that, the bigger question is; who will pay for the cleanup?

Very likely, the majority of the bill will be footed by taxpayers.

Sure, Imperial Metals, which owns Mount Polley Mining Corp., is apt to be slapped with a hefty fine – some reports are suggesting amounts up to $1 million – but that would barely begin to cover the costs of reclaiming the waters, should they be deemed critically contaminated.

There was a comparable tailings pond breach in the state of Tennessee in 2008 (Kingston Fossil Plant). More than six years later, restoration efforts continue. Some estimates have the total costs of that cleanup to be in excess of $1.2 billion U.S.

So what does all this mean to Vancouver Island? Could it happen here?

The answer, of course, is yes. It could happen anywhere there are tailing ponds; and, as a byproduct of mines, there are tailing ponds on Vancouver Island.

The requests for exploratory site testing by mine companies is an ongoing issue with the various Island governances. In fact, in June, the CVRD submitted a letter to the Ministry of Energy and Mines, expressing concern over proposed site testing by a mining company in the Woodhus Creek/Oyster River area and requested that “no coal licence be issued”. Consider it a proactive approach.

Some economists were undoubtedly crying foul over the decision. But it’s a far cry more economically sound than the reactive approach being incorporated in regards to the disaster in Likely, B.C.

Sometimes foresight is 20:20.— Black Press

‘It might be months before inspectors and geotechnical engineers can determine the cause of the

breach.’

Canal Beach dip ‘refreshing’

To the Editor,There are people

who swim with whales or dolphins, or with a pool noodle.

I swam with the Mayor of Port Alberni at Canal Beach.

I have to say, it is marvellous to have somehwere so near for a swim on a hot day. Admittedly, it is not as beautiful as Qualicum or Sproat Lake—yet. Give it a year or two and native plants and other greenery will soften what this is: a previous industrial site, but what potential.

The water is clear, salty and buoyant. What more could a person, or a whale or a mayor want?

Kudos to all those that have helped make this beach happen. It is going to be fabulous.

Preserved E&N a possibility

To the Editor,The venerable

E&N Railway is approaching a very important period in its history: whether the railway will continue or not. As politicians hesitantly debate its

future, one option should be explored: run the railway as a “Preserved Railway”, using the successful UK model.

Today, in the UK, there are more than 50 standard gauge and more than 20 narrow gauge preserved railways in operation, offering scheduled passenger services with many operating all year round. The preserved railways were created by groups of people wanting to retain and operate local and historic railways, many using steam locomotives.

The foundation for an “E&N preservation society” is already in place, with scores of volunteers already maintaining the rights-of-way from Victoria to Courtenay and Port Alberni.

The E&N preservation society could be the umbrella group to operate and maintain the railway, offering live steam excursions; Via Rail passenger operation; a scheduled freight service; and a commuter railway for Greater Victoria.

Far-fetched? No, as many UK preserved railways successfully do the same thing.

A preserved E&N Railway would

not only be an international tourist draw, it would be a magnet for the movie industry, which searches internationally for vintage railway locations. If anyone has watched British cinema and TV drama, have all seen the British preserved railway in full operation. Movie sets they are not.

What is most important is that a preserved E&N Railway would not only be a regional railway or tourism and movie industry generator, it would be a jobs generator. The financial spin-off from a preserved E&N, from jobs to increasing business potential, would be tremendous.

Supporting a preserved E&N railway, would be supporting a continuing and viable economy on Vancouver Island.

Health case affects us all

To the Editor, Beginning on Sept. 8,

the biggest challenge to date to Canada’s Medicare will be heard in British Columbia’s Supreme Court. If successful, our public

health-care system will crumble across the country.

The constitutional challenge is being led by Dr. Brian Day who operates the private for-profit Cambie Street Clinic in Vancouver. Dr. Day believes that the defining principle of Medicare—access to health care should be based on need, not the patient’s ability to pay—is unconstitutional.

If he succeeds in court, Dr. Day would further open the way to an American “user pay” style of health care in Canada. We must not let this happen.

The impact would be felt in many ways: doctors would be able to set any price they wish on their services; expensive private insurance would become necessary. In the US, the average cost of insurance for a family of four is $23,215 per year.

Families would be subjected to greater financial instability. In the US, three out of five personal bankruptcies are health-care related and 69 per cent of those declaring bankruptcy were insured at the time.

Wait times in the public system will

increase as more and more doctors are siphoned off into the more lucrative for-profit system.

Is this the future that you envision for yourself, your family and future generations?

B.C.’s response a shocker

To the Editor,The Provincial

Government of Saskatchewan has recently announced that all smart meters in that province will be removed. Why? Smart meters are causing house fires just as they have been reported here in B.C.

The response of our own energy minister was to question the wisdom of the Saskatchewan decision. Makes one wonder what is the true agenda of the B.C. government when they are clearly prepared to roll the dice with your life.

Ford moves to new location


Volunteers, residents, the ADSS cheerleading squad and Mayor John Douglas came out to support the KidneyWALK at Blair Park on Sunday, Aug. 11.


In a move that’s been years in the planning, Van Isle Ford is finally making the move to its new Beaver Creek location this weekend.

The dealership made an agreement to buy the Beaver Creek property in the spring of 2013 as part of their requirement with Ford Motor Company.

Will Pulford, dealer principal at Van Isle Ford is excited about the new location.

“The Beaver Creek location provided

us with the proper location and size and footprint that we needed to build a store of this size,” he said. “[The move] has gone very, very well. There’s obviously lots going on with computer and security systems going in but it’s been very smooth so far.”

In order to facilitate the move, the dealership will close at 1 p.m. on Friday afternoon and open at its new location at 4831 Beaver Creek Rd. on Monday morning at 8 a.m.

“Our customers

aren’t going to see anything, there’ll be little touchups being finished here and there next week, but nothing major.”

The new dealership will also feature a new synthetic lawn instead of a natural grass one.

“We installed a synthetic lawn called SYNLawn, it’s actually recycled material,” Pulford said, “it’s actually the same material used in a lot of artificial turfs in the CFL and the NFL.”

Although more expensive than natural grass initially, the artificial lawn

won’t need any maintenance or care, something that will save Pulford money in the longterm.

The SYNLawn also won’t need water, something that is especially significant in light of Port Alberni’s current Stage 1 water restrictions.

“The fact that water’s so expensive and a very valuable natural resource [means that] this is our way of going to a low maintenance situation.”[email protected]


Existing secondary suites can be legalized


City councillors voted at the July 14 council meeting to legalize existing secondary suites that agree to go through an inspection.

Following the new 2014 zoning bylaw, new secondary suites in single family homes in certain residential zones are already recognized in Port Alberni but in order for owners of illegal secondary suites to have had them recognized, they would have needed to tear down their existing suite so that a full inspection

could be carried out.According to City

Planner Scott Smith, paving a way for existing secondary suites to be legalized would benefi t the city, both by creating more safe housing at an affordable price and by allowing the city to now tax those suites.

As a benefi t to the owner of the secondary suite, they would be able to charge more for the suite as well as be able to ensure that their insurance policy was not voided by the presence of the secondary suite.

“The authorized suite process is that where there is an existing secondary

suite, people could apply for us to come in and we would inspect all the things that the city is visually able to inspect and make sure all basic life and safety [requirements] are met,” said Smith.

While the newly authorized secondary suites would be completely legal, to the owners would have to inform potential renters that not every part of the building code is met by their secondary suite.

“Because we wouldn’t be able to see all parts of the construction without them ripping all the walls out and us

seeing everything, we would require that they put a notice on title saying that while not every part of the building code is met by this structure, the basics and the health and safety [requirements have been met] and therefore we’re prepared to recognize this as an authorized secondary suite in the city.”

While Smith said that the city has yet to receive any applications, city staff are ready to process any authorization applications that come [email protected]

DrivewayCanada.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat Welcome to the driver’s seat

Mom’s taxi now closer to a family limo than a seven-seat vanHow many of today’s NHL stars made those very early morning trips to junior practice in a minivan?Of course, we will never know for sure but you can bet the answer is in the 100s, judging by the tens of thousands of kids, enrolled in hockey, soccer and count-less other activities, who have been transported for the past 30 years in these people movers, pioneered Chrysler.Virtually every auto maker has a version though in recent years, with the ex-plosion of sport utility and crossover vehicles there has been a trend away from the vehicle dubbed ‘mom’s taxi’ in the popular media. At first, that was an affection-ate moniker but of late, it’s come to be a disparaging term for these very efficient family carriers now described as multi-purpose vehicles.No, they’re not leading edge in looks for the most part but surely that’s not why people still buy them in goodly numbers. Minivans are utilitarian but it’s also true to say that today’s iterations are no longer glorified vans with seats. They come close to driving like sedans and the higher end models are a step away

from limo status. The loaded 2014 Grand Caravan SXT version I drove recently certainly could lay claims to be much more than mom’s taxi. Premium cloth seats were inviting and supportive but the rear seating is perhaps the more interesting for those with aforemen-tioned early morning drive duties. The stow’n’go seats are ingenious, turning the Caravan quickly with the flick of a wrist from a seven-seater into . . . . dare I say . . . a van if

desired. Power sliding doors and liftgate complete the convenience package.An area where the Caravan has made giant leaps is right upfront. The one-piece instrument panel is easy on the eye and easy to operate. An optional “super” centre console builds on the functionality, providing a lot of storage.Stepping outside there’s an interesting innovation called the Stow ‘n Place roof rack system, which enables the stowing of the roof bows into the side rails when not in use. There is an obvious cosmetic improvement but that would be a frivolous consideration. The ability

to stow the roof bows a reduction in aerodynamic drag, wind buffeting and thus better overall efficiency.Under the hood is the truly tried and tested Pentastar 3.6-litre V6, matched to a six-speed automatic transmission. This power combination pumps out 283 horsepower but still remains frugal when it comes to fuel economy – 12.2/7.9 L/100 kms.Driving in town with such a large vehicle is not so much of challenge as you might expect. The excellent vision provided by large windows helps when parking in those tight supermarket spots. Stop/go traffic on Highway One was not fun and certainly spoiled the fuel

economy promise.That said, once rolling on the freeway, the Caravan hits its stride and return to sipping gas rather than gulping.The basic Caravan is anything but basic in its equipment tally and starts at $27,995. The tester was loaded to the gunwales with every bell and whistle and came in at $43,580. Take out the basic for the test drive then start adding the features you want until you run up against budget wall.‘Mom’s taxi’ is going to be around for a while yet and that’s good news for sports oriented families and maybe even the National Hockey League.

Escaping the heat for the cool of the countrydriveway

‘‘You probably wil recover that extra investment in this Highlander hybrid while doing your eco-part to save a world that looks pretty good from high up on Mount Baker.’’Bob McHugh

On a muggy, scorching hot summer’s da y, what better vehicle than the aptly named Highlander for a high-altitude scenic drive to find some cool, crisp mountain air and sink a foot in a glacier.All-new for 2014, Highlander Hybrid is the fuel-efficient and eco-

friendlier version of what Toyota describes as its mid-sized SUV, but it sure looks and feels bigger than most in this class, plus it can seat up to seven (or eight). Wider and longer than last year, this Highlander is also lower and, more importantly from a driving perspective, it has a lower centre of gravity.There was a time when Highlander looked like an SUV, with an angular two-box design. Its styling lines have softened with successive redesigns and now if you put Highlander beside its Camry-based wagon sibling, the Venza, you need a second look to tell them apart. Not sure if that’s a good thing, but I do like its more car-like driving dynamics.Not far south of the Canadian border, Mount Baker is a glacier-covered mountain that rises 3,286 m (10,781 ft) above sea level, which is over 900 m (3,000 ft) higher than Whistler, the best-known mountain in BC. Mount Baker is also regarded as the second most active volcano in the Cascade Mountain Range, but there’s been nary a puff since 1880.The Mount Baker Highway (Hwy. 542) starts in Bellingham (exit #255 off the I-5), winds east through a number of small communities and

offers some interesting side tours along the way, before it climbs steeply and ends at Artist Point (1,567 m / 5,140 ft.). This large parking lot, which is about 10 km beyond the ski area, is closed during the winter months and has spectacular panoramic views, plus a selection of great hiking trails. The highway crosses the Nooksack River at Nugent’s Corner and tracks east, alongside the north fork of the river, through old growth areas in the Mount Baker Snoqualmie National Forest. Allow about 1.5 hours of leisurely drive time in each direction. You’ll also need a ($5) day pass to park, which you get from automated dispensers at the Glacier Public Service Center or at Heather Meadows.The Hybrid Synergy Drive system in Highlander uses a 3.5L Atkinson Cycle V6 gas engine, a high torque electric motor-generator and powerful traction battery. It boasts 10 additional horsepower (280 net horsepower) over the gas-only model, yet uses almost 30 per cent less fuel.Although Toyota has done an admirable job of masking it, Highlander Hybrid is a weighty (2,200 kg) vehicle, and has the usual characteristics of a heavy vehicle. It’s more

than fine in a straight line and while handling is laudably predictable, it didn’t seem to like being tossed around on the twisty sections of the highway. Then again, that’s the norm in this class of vehicle. Side Trips: Mount Baker Vineyards and Winery has a tasting room, offers tours and is open Thursday through Sunday, noon to 5:00 p.m. It’s about 3 km east of the Nugent’s Corner roundabout, where you can also spot the historic Bethany Church (built in 1907) landmark. Nooksack Falls is just a short (and groomed) gravel road off the highway about 11 km (7 ml) east of Glacier, which is the last community along the highway. You do have to scramble over some (slippery when wet) rocks to get to a good fenced viewing area. The water takes a spectacular 30 m (100 ft) plunge, so a close-up view is definitely worth the extra effort. Interesting Eating Places: Anthony’s is an excellent choice for lunch or dinner in Bellingham. Situated in the harbour area it overlooks the marina and has views of the San Juan Islands. Great service, great fare, all tables come with a view and the prices are very reasonable, compared to Vancouver. An after-meal stroll around

the picturesque marina walkway also allows you to ogle hundreds of boats and yachts up close. Web site: anthonys.comThe North Fork Brewery, Pizzeria, Beer Shrine and Wedding Chapel is an out of the ordinary and rewarding halfway restaurant stop on the Mount Baker Highway that’s known locally as “TheShrine.” Don’t be put off by the long name or its rustic appearance as the food is delicious and there’s an awesome selection of fresh brewed-on-site handcrafted beers. Web site: northforkbrewery.comLast Word: A hybrid edition of the Toyota Highlander costs an additional $6,000 to $8,000. Yes, you probably will recover that extra investment in this hybrid while doing your eco-part to save a world that looks pretty good from high up on Mount Baker.

What started off as a way to learn about caring for her guinea pig has taken Makenna Cyr to conferences all over B.C. and even in the United States.

Cyr, a 17-year-old ADSS graduate, joined 4-H seven years ago.

“I started out showing guinea pigs [but] since I joined my involvement has become more agriculturally based so now I primarily show beef cattle.”

There’s a lot involved before she can show the cattle.

“We raise the cattle from weanlings, so we buy them as weaned calves and we raise them for a year [which involves] feeding them, halter training them and getting them ready for show.”

But for Cyr, the skills she’s learned raising the cattle stretch to her life outside of the barn.

“It teaches a lot about money skills, record keeping,

determination and hard work and responsibility. [You have] another living thing that you’re completely responsible for 24 hours a day, everyday. It’s really fun but it’s a lot of hard work.”

Most recently, she had a chance to show her cattle at the Vancouver Island

Exhibiton Country Fair that took place in Nanaimo on Friday, Aug. 15. Cyr hadn’t been at the exhibition in several years but she made a triumphant return by taking home the top prize with Leroy, the 1,300 cow who she’s raised since he was a one month old.

But even more than showing cattle, Cyr

has really enjoyed other aspects of the program.

“I’ve also really taken to the program aspect of 4-H which has a lot to do with public speaking and going to different conferences and team work and leadership skills.”

ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

Damon Pugerude has joined the Alberni Valley Bulldogs as the team’s new trainer and equipment manager.

Pugerude was selected by the coaching staff from dozens of applications that were submitted for the position.

Pugerude spent the last three seasons in a similar role with the Drayton Valley Thunder and the Sherwood Park

Crusaders junior “A” hockey teams in the Alberta Junior Hockey League.

In addition to his experience at the junior “A” level, Pugerude also served as a trainer at U16 Alberta Cup events, has extensive experience on the

equipment side and is registered with the Alberta College of Paramedics.

“We were very pleased and impressed with Damon’s attention to detail and passion for what he does,” said Alberni Valley Bulldogs’ head coach and general manager Kevin Willison.

“He is certainly a good fit for the team.”

Pugerude started just in time for the annual Bulldogs Summer Hockey School in [email protected]

Kids at the Mobile Optimist Sailing School’s day camp sail just off of Canal Beach on Thursday, Aug. 14.

MOSS day camp sets sail


“Two lines! Nobody gets to eat lunch till you’re in two lines!’ yelled Max Westgate, instructor at the Mobile Optimist Sailing School’s (MOSS) day camp.

The camp, which runs Monday to Friday

from 9 a.m. - 3:30p.m., started seven years ago in an effort to star up sailing communities in places where there weren’t any before. Port Alberni, along with Sooke and Whitehorse count among their biggest successes.

[The kids] learn pretty much all the

basics to do with sailing and I often find that it’s more beneficial to learn things like teamwork and listening skills,” said Westgate. “So the sailing is our aim but as long as they leave with a positive memory of what watersports are in general, we’ve done

our job.”MOSS seems to be

doing pretty well at that.

“Out of all the [camps] I’ve been to, this one’s probably a five star,” said Dave McCutcheon, one of the 22 kids at this week’s camp. “These [boats] are a bucket of fun.”

THE ARTSTHE ARTS

SUSAN QUINNALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

Portal Players has a play. They’ve announced auditions just today.

The play has a name, it’s called Seussical. By the looks of things, it’s a musical.

Think you’ve got talent? Do green eggs go with ham?

Come out and audition Sept. 7, 8 or 9 and show the directors your jam.

3 p.m., 7 p.m. and 7

p.m. respectively are the times.

(We know it’s grammatically incorrect but it was hard to rhyme.)

Feel free to sing karaoke or a capella too.

Bring an Mp3 for your audition, or no music will do.

These open auditions are exciting to John

Kenchenten the producer, who has really gone

out of his way to bring Seussical to the

stage.It’s very exciting! It

will be all the rage!Rehearsals will

start near the end of September,

but the play won’t debut until February, remember.

You know you want to audition, you know you do.

You could be the next Horton or Cindy Lou.

So channel the Cat, find your best hat, get up on the stage and that will be that.

Chapel of Memories As parents we share our wisdom As partners we share a life As friends we share our dreams

But seldom do we ever share our fi nal wishes. Most of us avoid the emotional topic of pre-planning when we should recognize it as a kind, selfl ess act that relieves grieving family of the planning bur-den, prevents arguments over details and choices, saves loved ones from emotional and fi nancial overspending and frees them to cel-ebrate your life. Dignity Memorial Chapel of Memories recognize how diffi cult it can be to discuss funeral planning before it is needed. We believe that no one should have to come through our doors to-tally unprepared and uninformed on the day they’ve lost a loved one.

Jack Anthony Horutko

“The World Loved You,We All Miss You”

Jack Anthony, 81, passed peacefully Friday, August 8, 2014 at Campbell River General Hospital, in Campbell River BC, following

a courageous battle with cancer. He leaves his wife of 32 years, Iris Horutko of Campbell River, BC, his sons, Derald and (Arlene) and Ron and (Earleen) Horutko of Quesnel, BC and his beloved companion, Casey, who enjoyed non-stop fetch and long beach walks, and his two fur baby cats.He was born in Macklin, Saskatchewan, February 28, 1933, the son of Norman and Eva Horutko. He was a truly dedicated husband and father who never backed down from a challenge, be it a hard work day in the oil fields, driving long haul truck for many years, running a restaurant, or working in the pulp and paper industry. He was also an avid hunter, fisherman and "Jack” of all trades. His passions were family, good friends, floor curling and winning “a double skunking” game of cribbage! He was our rock, our “go-to” whenever we needed advice or help or just a “little” hug. He was an incredible man! At Jack’s request, a “Picnic” (Celebration of Life) will be held at Paul Lake Provincial Park, Kamloops, BC on September 13, 2014 at 1pm. Please feel free to join his family to celebrate Jack on this special day. Also feel free to contact the family for more details.In lieu of flowers, please donate to a charity of your choice.

It is with much sadness that we announce the passing of our dear Susan, taken from us at the young age of 44. After a long

battle with cancer, she passed peacefully surrounded by family in Campbell River on the morning of the 9th.Susan was born in Comox B.C. on September 24th, 1969 to Diana and Gordon Waterman. Susan grew up in Gold River, then went on to Douglas College in Vancouver where she earned her Registered Psychiatric Nurse designation.Susan enjoyed her career, most of it spent with the great team at St. Joseph's Psychiatry in Comox. She was an avid birdie hunter, hitting the badminton courts a few times a week. Susan also loved gardening, camping and watching her daughters play hockey and never hesitated to give a referee an earful if she thought her girls had been wronged.She is survived by her loving husband Sean Cramb, daughters Miaya and Sarah Cramb, parents Gordon and Diana Waterman, sister Lisa (Dave) Latham, grandmother Margaret Rutledge, mother and father-in-law Helen and Ken Cramb, brothers-in-law Pat (Kim) and Kelly (Janice), as well as many uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces and nephews.A memorial service is being planned for September and details will be forthcoming.

From / A15Those leadership

skills will come in handy in the fall, when she leaves for North Island College with the help of a $1000 Chrysler Foundation Scholarship that celebrates 100 years of 4-H in Canada.

From there, she hopes to transfer to university and get her Bachelor of Education

so that she can pass on her passion for agriculture to other students.

While ADSS had their first year of a sustainable resource management and agriculture class this past year, there is no national program that rivals the Future Farmers of America (FFA) down in the States.

Or at least, there isn’t one here yet.

“I’d like to bring an agricultural education program to Canada [because] I think it’s really important to know where your food comes from and how the animals are treated and making sure they have a good life.”[email protected]


Teen hopes to bring agriculture to schools


Leroy, Makenna Cyr’s cow, grazes at her farm.

From / A4That’s a sentiment

echoed by Scott Coulson, CAO of the Uchucklesaht First Nations.

While the Uchucklesaht had a fish distribution shortly before Hamilton found the salmon, Coulson said that the salmon they distributed had been beheaded, frozen and cleaned, while the dumped fish were

relatively intact.“There was no way

that it could have been our fish,” he said. “Most of the time when we do a fish distribution it’s a food fish distribution and people that are taking the fish want the fish. It’s not like they’re being made to take it.”

Since both the commercial and Aboriginal fisheries were closed, Coulson suspects the salmon

weren’t caught legally.“There are [likely]

some people that are fishing illegally and they weren’t able to sell them so they had to do something with them,” he said.

While the Department of Fisheries and Oceans said that the fish dump was likely only to be a littering offense, Coulson wants more to be done.

“I think there would be a concequence if it was proven to be an illegal catch. It’s a real shame, there’s so many people in need out there, to see 30-40 fish like that, just discarded, it could have gone to the soup kitchen, we’ve done that ourselves because we know it’ll get used.”[email protected]


Fish dump should have consequences
