    Growth through growing

    KRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

    Planting vegetables and pulling weeds has turned into a growing passion for some local residents.

    Since tenants of the Canadian Mental Health Associations Rog-ers Street Apartments started a new garden bed project two months ago, they have benefitted not only from an abundance of fresh food, but from valuable skills necessary for independent living.

    The project marked the com-pletion of Christine Milligans four-year Bachelor of Social Work studies at the University of Victoria.

    I am passionate about growing food for holistic reasons, Milli-gan said.

    I have experienced myself that it reaches biological, psycho-logical, sociological and spiritual realms of being.

    She thought the nourishment, exercise and sense of accom-plishment could be applied to her final practicum at the Rogers Street complex.

    Residents were exposed earlier this year to basic cooking lessons from North Island College stu-dent, Alice Sam. The garden pro-

    ject follows the same principles. Small plots had previously

    been started, but when Milligan arrived, they were overgrown and full of weeds.

    With the help of more than a dozen residents, the green space was extended about three times its size with garden beds for indi-vidual planting.

    Fencing was constructed and the area was made wheelchair accessible. Residents were made part of the decision-making pro-cess and provided with a sense of ownership.

    I noticed conversations arose that might not have otherwise,

    Milligan said. Skills and abil-ities just came out when things needed to be done. When we needed latches made for the fence, someone made them.

    Residential co-ordinator Mark Vandervelde said he has seen a noticeable difference since the completion of the garden.

    Any other time there would only be two to three people working in it, Vandervelde said. Now with Christine, there are always about 10 to 12.

    The benefit of food security is number one, but on par is the camaraderie, interaction and communication.

    A lot of people here tend to iso-late themselves so this is a way to come out and do something healthy and productive.

    He said the neighbours seem to appreciate the improvements and enjoy seeing the progress of the gardens.

    There are still challenges with different personalities, but it has been a co-operative effort to work and live together, Vandervelde said.

    Resident Diane Avery, 65, says gardening keeps her young.

    My dad had a green thumb and I think I got it from him, Avery said.

    It is a lot of hard work but I am proud of it.

    Pat Newfield, too, is reaping the fruits of her labour. Initially unsure of taking part, she now enjoys tending her beds daily.

    It feels awesome to see every-thing grow, Newfield said. I like to come out here alone to weed and water.

    Tenants plan on using their harvest for canning, processing and drying.

    This gives us an opportunity to evolve over time, Vandervelde said.

    MARKETING FROM THE FRONT

    Tools in use to market PA Valley voices are the way tourists are learning about the West Coast treasures KRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

    What attracts people to Port Alberni? That is a question that keeps tourism operators and local business owners scratch-ing their heads. Whether com-ing for vacations or to relocate and call the Alberni Valley home, numbers are increasing at the visitor centre this month.

    But are people getting a clear message about what the city has to offer and what the com-munity is all about? With the various tag lines, including Bear Tracks and Lumberjacks, Stay and Play, Discover Alberni and the Heart of Vancouver Island, those involved in marketing campaigns hope to cash in on an eclectic mix of local features.

    Alberni Valley Chamber of Commerce executive director Bill Collette said visitor num-bers have been driving upwards but cannot site one specific draw.

    The beautiful weather is cer-tainly a prime reason, he said. That and the Canadian dollar are helping. It is amazing to see all kinds of license plates from all over the U.S. in the parking lot (of the visitor centre).

    Last week the Chamber, along with the City of Port Alberni and the McLean Mill commit-tee, launched a new design to accompany its trade show booths. Featuring the steam train, it is one of several skins the groups are hoping to pro-duce for specific campaigns.

    This one was designed by Ali-cia La Rue who decided to move to Port Alberni for the oppor-tunity to live, work and play in an affordable place.

    Collette, a member of the McLean Mill committee, said it

    will be used in specific markets. He said the train is not the only thing that best represents Port Alberni, but having a large display of the locomotive will spark conversation.

    People are not necessarily coming here for the train, but now, however, I think this will help, he said. When people are walking by the booth at a trade show, they might have questions about the train.

    Sandy and Mike Hagen stopped by Cathedral Grove on the weekend and said they came

    for the nature. The couple took a day trip and planned on visit-ing Stamp Falls.

    We researched online and saw the nice waterways, Sandy said.

    Ambassador Dewayne Parfitt said a lot of European tourists already have an idea in mind after doing their reseeach. He said a lot of people arrive with plans to see the forests and destinations like Tofino and Uclulet, but he lets them know the reasons for stopping in Port Alberni.

    We always tell them about the train, McLean Mill, and the Frances Barkley, he said. The bombers are alwyas popular too.

    Collette said the goal of the trade booth skins is to feature other aspects of the community with the removable feature. The only other one produced so far features a woman with a large, freshly caught fish.

    For example, the kite board community could pay for one to go to trade shows to market that, Collette said.

    Fruit picking initiative seeks public fundingERIC PLUMMER ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

    An initiative responsible for collecting almost 10,000 pounds of unwanted fruit from peoples properties last year is asking the city for support to allow the volun-teer-driven program to grow.

    Since 2012, the Alberni Valley Gleaning Project has picked fruit that would otherwise be discarded from local trees, dividing the produce amongst the land-owner, a charity and the vol-unteers responsible for the harvest. Heather Shobe of the local Transition Towns Society said the initiative has allowed more residents to subsist off of the Alberni Valley rather than produce trucked in from elsewhere.

    What lies on grocery store shelves might not always be enough to feed the com-

    munity, she warned during an address to city council on July 27.

    It is well known that the Island has only a few days of food supply in case of an emergency, she said.

    Encouraging the picking of local produce also reduces carbon fuels released during the transportation of food in the Valley, while the Glean-ing Project has brought people together over its three years of growth.

    The project offers a forum for community collabora-tion, education and the cele-bration of our local resour-ces, wrote Shobe in a recent letter to the city.

    Shobe requested $3,000 from the municipal gov-ernment to help cover the Gleaning Projects costs, which include coordination and possibly an electric bicycle to help volunteers

    transport gear to the picking sites. Another request is for the use of a city truck a few times a week during picking season, and for the program to be included in a municipal insurance policy.

    City manager Ken Watson said a similar arrangement has been done before to help a local initiative.

    Other volunteer groups have in the past been able to utilize city vehicles, he said. There are some conditions that apply before our insur-ance can apply for that.

    The possible funding for the Alberni Valley Gleaning Project has been referred to the citys Community Invest-ment Program for approval, while municipal staff have been directed to look into options for insurance cover-age and the use of a vehicle.

    Facility tracks seismic activity in the Paci cTAX CUT, from Page 1

    Although owned by UVic, the location is not a university campus with local staff and stu-dents. Ocean Networks Canada operates on the site, a scientific monitoring organization owned by the university.

    The site hosts Ocean Networks NEPTUNE project, a 840-kilo-metre undersea telecommuni-cations cable that spans the west coast of Vancouver Island, branching out into the Pacific Ocean.

    NEPTUNE measures seismic activity, vessel traffic and under-sea data, including information that helps to warn vulnerable communities like Port Alberni of an approaching tsunami. In the past OCN has worked with the city on tsunami education by con-tributing to a permanent display at the Maritime Discovery Centre.

    Data gathered from the under-sea project connected to the Mal-lory Drive property also leads to profits for some corporations involved in the initiative. IBM Canada is among OCNs major funders. OCNs 2012/13 annual report speaks of the commer-cialization of research results.

    Coun. Chris Alemany noted that dependence on for-profit organizations to back university projects is a reality academic organizations now face.

    I think that there has been a big shift from purely public-fund-ed research to models where industry has to come up, he said. Its an amazing project...its too bad that we dont get more of the property tax from it, but it appears that theres no way around that.

  • Kudos to Scott Kenny for work in recreation

    We first met Scott Kenny dur-ing the planning of the Summer Games in 1992. He worked tire-lessly to showcase our commun-ity along with many volunteers. It was our pleasure to work with him on the other games and with many projects in Port Alberni.

    Scott always did what was needed to be done with a sense of humor.

    We wish him a healthy and happy retirement that is well deserved. Coffee is on us.

    Mayors raw log trend is shameful, shortsighted

    It is very shortsighted for Mayor Ruttan to believe that shipping raw logs is saving jobs in the Alberni Valley. Yes, some log-gers may be kept working in the short term but the value added component of the timber is lost forever. It would be better to leave the timber standing until such a time as demand for lum-ber and other finished products

    increases again. It is also shameful to see

    truckloads of logs leaving the Valley to support jobs in the distant sawmills of Nanaimo, Chemainus, and elsewhere. The Alberni Valley is being raped of its resources. Jobs are not saved in this way.

    At one time, B.C. forestry regu-lations insisted that logs be pro-cessed near their origin and thus local economies were supported. Whatever happened to that sens-ible policy? I think we know the answer to that question.

    Partelow Hogeweide Cawston, B.C.

    Raw log export part of forestrys massacre

    Its obvious that our current mayor knows nothing about for-estry and our former mayor, Ken McRae, is very forgetful.

    What happened in 2004 is that Gordon Campbell and Mike De Jong took the private lands out of TFL 44, thereby making pos-sible the unfettered export of raw logs. When the private and public forests were in TFL 44, there was an annual allowable cut and

    rules for harvesting, replanting, stream protection, etc.

    Now the owners of the private lands can do anything they want on them and export as many logs as they like.

    Doubtless the current mas-sacre on area forest lands far exceeds the old annual allowable cut and the old restrictions on harvesting.

    What were now seeing is the rape of the forests with all the deleterious effects on the land-scape and the environment, and with huge increases in raw log exports. And nobody, including Mayor Ruttan, is challenging the governments actions.

    All this being said, however, while we could and should increase environmental steward-ship, we could not increase local lumber manufacturing.

    More signage needed to help find public washroomsDear Council,

    Three things are really bugging me these days.

    First: Why cant city hall have cedar siding on its face? This city was built on lumber and it seems the only buildings that reflect that are Coulson buildings and the Tseshaht office. Why is that? I think cedar siding will definite-ly improve the look.

    Second: Why are there no signs that indicate where washrooms are in the city.

    Travelling people need to know these things. Or else they go to MacDonalds and Walmart where they know they are. I see John-ny on the Spot for Wednesday Market and hope they are here for the summer. What about a real permanent washroom at the site for all the tourists that stop to look at our bears?

    Third: Signage that says 3 k Dike Walk, Dog Park, RV Park-ing, 1 km ahead right On John-ston Road.

    A washroom in this area wouldnt go amiss either.

    People wanting a walk and people with pets would love it but they dont even know its there. They just turn the corner and drive off to Tofino.

    Lucky Tofino.

    Robot cars could make roads safer This week the Prince George Citizen launched an online poll asking which current behaviour will be unthinkable 100 years from now?

    As of Friday morning, there were 274 responses. Handwriting was the top vote getter with 84 votes. Factory farming and manually operating a smartphone were at the bottom with 27 and 34 votes respectively. In the middle of the pack were euthanasia and assisted suicide as illegal with 68 votes and driving your own vehicle, chosen 61 times by 22 per cent of the respondents.

    Some people already feel hand-writing is a thing of the past. The legalization of assisted suicide is already in progress, due to a Supreme Court decision earlier this year.

    The science fiction sounding answer in the bunch seems to be driving your own vehicle yet it could be the one closest to becom-ing reality. With so many people taking to the highways over the

    past long weekend, consider the prospect of driverless cars. Never mind 100 years, it could be just 10 years away. The transition could be as fast and jarring as switching from horse and buggy to the first cars was.

    Not only does the technology exist, its already undergoing real-world trials after years of testing and development. Millions are being spent by companies as big as Google and as small as Clear-path Robotics, a Canadian-based company that produces unmanned vehicles for clients in the military, mining and agriculture.

    On its website, Clearpath asks: The future is autonomous. Are you ready?

    Some misleading advertising there because the future is now and this technology doesnt care if people are ready or not. Driv-erless vehicles have to ability to significantly reduce the number of deaths and injuries on roads. Computers dont drive drunk, they dont fall asleep, they wont get

    mad at other drivers, they wont speed or drive dangerously and they will do a much better job of driving to road conditions than overconfident and/or inexperience humans.

    If this sounds foreign and impos-sible, think again.

    A big part of a flight to Van-couver (or anywhere else) on a passenger plane of any significant size happens with the computer at the controls. There is no technical reason why the computer couldnt also take off and land the plane. Once in Vancouver, hopping on the Canada Line means taking a driverless train downtown. There are no technical reasons why com-puters couldnt also pilot freight trains.

    One day soon, it will be as illegal to drive your own vehicle on a pub-lic street as it is to drive a horse and buggy down the middle of a busy highway. Stealing a vehicle will be as stupid as stealing some-ones smartphone with its GPS locator engaged. Your vehicle

    will never get lost, will know the fastest way, will be able to avoid construction and accidents, will be able to automatically seek assist-ance when in trouble and will quickly know where the parking spot closest to the entrance is.

    Off-road driving in forestry, farming, mining and other natural resource development activity would also be safer and more efficient if handled by comput-ers. Besides not needing to rest, on-board computers and sensors would certainly be better judges of changing road and weather conditions.

    While this sounds like progress to many people, it could be a night-mare for hundreds of thousands of Canadians in driving jobs, piloting everything from freight and pas-senger trains to delivery vehicles, taxis and short- and long-haul trucks.

    Their disbelief will not slow down its implementation. A union representative for drivers at the Suncor facility in Fort McMurray

    was quoted recently poo-poohing Suncors plans to investigate using driverless trucks. Well, they cant be driverless, what if they get stuck, the poor fellow asked.

    Two answers.First, they wont get stuck

    nearly as often. Second, numer-ous unmanned vehicles getting themselves unstuck in difficult terrain have already been tested extensively in real-world settings or off-world settings, if you include the two Mars Rovers.

    Jobs will be lost, the economy will restructure and people will adapt as driverless vehicles all but eliminate the death and destruc-tion that is a regular occurrence on our streets and highways. Basedon past summer long weekends, more tragedy will continue with humans behind the wheel.

    Technology is about to get us around those corners and to our destinations more safely.

    STEPHEN WHYNO THE CANADIAN PRESS

    TORONTO David Price Day had everything from rousing ovations and powering strikeouts to the thrill of danger and the offensive explosion the Toronto Blue Jays are known for.

    Thanks to 11 strikeouts from Price in eight strong innings, his debut was also a 5-1 victory against the Minnesota Twins that put the Blue Jays in a tie for an American League wild-card spot.

    I just wanted to go out there and have fun, pitch as deep as possible into the game and keep it close for our offence, a smil-ing Price said. Im definitely thrilled with the way today went.

    Price was dominant all after-noon, especially after he gave up a home run to Torii Hunter in the second and loaded the bases with no outs in the fourth. The ace left-hander acquired last week from the Detroit Tigers showed why the Blue Jays were willing to pay a hefty price, retiring the final 15 batters he faced.

    The place was alive, man-ager John Gibbons said of Price getting out of the bases-loaded jam. Thats hard to do. I dont care how good a pitcher you are. Thats real hard to do. But he pulled it off and really ran from there.

    As he walked off the mound following his 119th pitch, Price tipped his cap to the sellout crowd of 45,766 at Rogers Centre that fixated on and adored his every move. His 11 strikeouts tied a franchise record for a pitcher making his debut, and he allowed just three hits and two walks.

    Thats what an ace does, said

    second baseman Ryan Goins, who hit a solo home run.

    Price brushed off the strikeout record and said he wouldve rather gotten all 27 outs. But the way he dazzled the crowd contributed to the buzz on the holiday Monday in Toronto.

    Running off the experiences in his career from the 2008 World Series run with the Tampa Bay Rays through last years playoffs with the Tigers, Price put his Blue Jays debut at the top of the list.

    That was the best atmosphere Ive ever been in, Price said. Ive pitched in quite a few big games, but that atmosphere today, that takes the cake. Ive never experienced anything like that. That was cool.

    When Price was in the dugout, the lineup Josh Donaldson confi-dently declared the best in base-ball got to Minnesota starter Ervin Santana and the bullpen to the tune of eight hits and two home runs. In addition to Goins, Donaldson hit a two-run home run, his 27th of the season, and later heard chants of M-V-P.

    Its not like weve seen it a couple times, Gibbons said of Donaldsons power. Hes been doing it all year.

    Edwin Encarnacion and Justin Smoak each added an RBI single to help the Blue Jays move to within 5 1/2 games of the idle New York Yankees for first in the AL East. Toronto has won five of six games.

    This is a good time for us, and this is when you need to be play-ing your best baseball, anyhow, no matter who youre playing, Donaldson said. Im not saying that the games before werent important, but this is when you can make up some ground and see where lie in the standings.

    SERVELLO: In loving memory of our dear mother, grand-mother & great-grandmother, Hermina Servello, who passed away August 4, 1988.Mom, how we love and miss you. You were always there for us, to see our dreams come true.Your caring, giving & loving heart, was captured by those you knew.You asked so little in return, to see us happy was your main concern.You worried & surely cried, so much you must have felt, yet quietly would hide.Compassion you had for fami-ly and friends, made them love you so.Though how we sometimes tend to forget, the dreams & needs that were yours & yet, how will we ever know.If only we could bring you back to sit and talk awhile,If only we had one more day to see your sweet, kind smile.Mom, you gave us such a spe-cial life, then yours was sadly taken.But Gods promise to us, is an everlasting life,That will never be forsaken.A devoted mother, a wonderful friend,Gods unique & precious pearl.Mom, how we love & miss You.

    Forever in our hearts & prayers, Judy, Laurie & family.

    ELECTION 2015

    Governor General calls federal election for Oct. 19Prime Minister Stephen Harpers announcement sets stage for 11-week campaign

    THE CANADIAN PRESS

    OTTAWA Prime Minister Ste-phen Harper says he has asked Governor General David Johnston to dissolve Parliament, touching off an 11-week campaign in advance of an election Oct. 19.

    Harper made the announcement Sunday outside Rideau Hall, square in the middle of the August holiday weekend, ending months of specu-lation and conjecture about when the campaign would begin.

    He was quickly peppered with media questions about why he was subjecting Canadians to a cam-paign that promises to be the long-est in more than a century and the costliest in the countrys political history.

    Simple, Harper replied: Conserva-tive rivals are already campaigning, and theyre doing it on the public dime.

    If were going to begin our cam-paigns and run our campaigns, that those campaigns need to be con-ducted under the rules of the law, that the money come from the par-ties themselves, not from the gov-ernment resources, parliamentary resources or taxpayer resources,
