MARTIN WISSMATH ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
Port Alberni city council is look-ing into the need for additional monitors to measure water turbid-ity and temperature from drinking water sources into the Alberni Valley.
Council passed a motion last week brought forward by Coun. Chris Alemany, suggesting that city staff investigate the feasibil-ity of installing water monitors throughout the China Creek watershed, which provides drink-ing water to the valley. The extra equipment would produce addi-tional data for the watershed’s tributaries that could also be useful to fisheries and timber com-panies, Alemany said.
“With our low snowpack and continued [forestry] activity in the watershed, it’ll be important to have as much information as we can,” said Alemany. The monitors would enhance, not replace, the existing equipment, he noted.
Currently the city continu-ously monitors water at intakes in China Creek and Bainbridge Lake, but elsewhere the monitoring is done manually with one-time spot reads on a rotating basis, said city manager Ken Watson.
Staff will now look into installing automatic, continuous monitors elsewhere.
“There would definitely be a cost to that,” Watson said. “There would need to be some analysis as to where they should go, whether they would be mobile or fixed.”
City engineer Guy Cicon said the cost would depend on what kind of equipment is needed and how
many monitors would be installed. He estimated it would likely cost somewhere around $20,000; how-ever, the report is still in its earli-est stages, he noted.
More information as to what is happening in our watershed is valuable, Cicon said. Issues affecting water quality could arise either from natural causes, such as a landslide, or from logging
activity from forestry compan-ies. Cicon suggested measuring streamflow as well.
Alemany runs a weather mon-itoring website at alberniweather.ca with data from a weather sta-tion at his house in Port Alberni. He’s noticed a warming trend since 2005, with snowpack deplet-ing on nearby mountains. Meas-uring water temperature in the watershed would offer further data on climate trends, he noted.
This year’s snowpack was 15 per cent the normal level, according to the River Forecast Centre – the lowest in over 30 years. Snowpack levels have steadily fallen since 2011.

Comox boater challenges PAPAKRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
A retired Comox Valley resident was shocked when he was told he could no longer stay overnight aboard his boat moored at Fisher-man’s Wharf.
Last Tuesday morning, Gordon Wilkins was informed of the decision by the wharf’s manage-ment. If he continued, he was told he would be evicted from the premises.
Wilkins first brought his 37-foot pleasure boat to the harbour last year. As a recreational fisher-man, he typically spent anywhere from two to four days fishing and returned to the dock to stay overnight. He said he signed the contract and complied with the written rules, including purchas-ing $2 million in liability insurance and complying with proper sewage disposal.
“I worked to fix up my boat and brought it here last year for six months,” Wilkins said. “I stayed two to three days a week with no problems. Last week I stayed two nights and the guy who runs the dock said I couldn’t stay.”
Ron Kyle, manager of marine ser-vices, said that the allowable space for live-aboard pleasure users is maxed out and Wilkins did not go through the proper channels to reserve a spot, should one come available.
“If he wanted to live on his boat,
he would have to explain to us what he wanted and we would document it,” Kyle said. “If a space came available, we would contact him.”
Kyle said there are currently six pleasure boat owners who are allowed to remain long-term, but they share the space for the main commercial use of the harbour.
“This is a commercial dock for
the commercial sector,” Kyle said. “We get up to 250 gillnetters and need the space. We allow people to come in to make up the difference in the winter but always need the space for commercial use first.”
Kyle said it is a small craft har-bour, and due to liability, it is up to the discretion of the PAPA to allow a certain number of pleasure boats.
Wilkins said there is nothing written in the contract that states live-aboards are not permitted and it has not been changed over the year.
“I just really want them to change the contract so people know before they get here,” Wil-kins said.
“The contract is updated every year. It is pretty straight forward
in the contract,” Kyle said. “It is cut and dry. He lived on it without our permission and that is a big problem with us. You can’t do that without a permit.”
The contract on the PAPA web-site, dated February 2014, states “No person is permitted to use their vessel as a residence while moored without written permis-sion from the Port Authority.”
“It doesn’t state you have an option to live aboard,” Kyle said. “If it did, everyone would and it would be unmanageable.”
Wilkins said he started saving up for the boat after retiring from the military about 20 years ago.
“This is my dream,” he said. “This is my summer cottage on the water.”
He said he likes to come to Port Alberni when he can take breaks from working on his Comox Valley farm, but next week plans to moor at a government dock in Deep Bay, where he is permitted to stay up to 75 days.
“I buy all of my groceries, fuel, bait and tackle in Port Alberni,” Wilkins said. “I love the restau-rants and spend my money here. When my four grandkids and their parents came, we toured the town and rode the train. So there goes more tourist dollars that Port Alberni could use.”

Volunteer opportunity for Auxiliary Constable Program
PA RCMP recruiting KRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
The RCMP are currently recruiting for the Auxiliary Constable Program.
The flexible volunteer oppor-tunity is good for anyone inter-ested in assisting with public safety and crime prevention. That is why Ryan MacEachern joined in 2007 when he was liv-ing in Surrey.
“I trained in Surrey and it was a pretty busy place to start,” MacEachern said.
He moved to Port Alberni in 2011 to open Boston Pizza and transferred to the Port Alberni detachment two years later. He said it is a different experience but the training received is sim-ilar and prepared him for what to expect on the streets.
“Surrey is one of the largest detachments in Canada and is fast-paced,” MacEachern said. “It is great in Port Alber-ni though. We can go on boat patrol on the Inlet and the lake and it is a broad area that we patrol.”
Cpl. Jen Allan, community relations officer with the Port Alberni RCMP, said the pro-gram is open to a wide range of potential volunteers.
“We’re not necessarily looking for your classic 20 to 30-year-old in great physical shape,” Allan said. “Someone who is 40 or 50 and looking to contribute to the community may be the perfect candidate.”
She said the recruitment is open to individuals with a variety of skills and experi-ence, including teachers and health professionals, but the
main thing is to be committed to supporting the goals of the detachment.
She said someone with enthusiasm and an understand-ing of the community and its geographic layout is an asset.
The training for new recruits is extensive over three months of weekends and includes both hands-on and classroom work.
MacEachern, a new father of a toddler, said it is the flexibil-ity that allows him to commit
to the position. With options of day, evening and weekend shifts, he can choose what works for his schedule. It also helps that he has a passion for law enforcement.
“I am able live, work and give back by volunteering here,” he said. “I enjoy police work so it is a good way of going out and enjoying it and I am getting some good life experience.”
Once trainees complete the required hours and pass a high security clearance, they are equipped with full uniforms, soft body armour, batons, pep-per spray, handcuffs and access badges for buildings.
Applications are available at the RCMP Detachment until June 30. Allan hopes to have five new recruits trained and ready to suit up by the New Year.
Ryan MacEachern is an experienced RCMP auxiliary constable and recommends the training for anyone interested in giving back to the community in a positive way. [KRISTI DOBSON, TIMES]
Employers judge you off the job
The meteoric rise of social media has added new layers of complexity, and contro-
versy, to the world of work. One of the questions it has
raised is how much bearing your conduct in non-work hours should have on your job performance.
This issue hit the news cycle in dramatic fashion fairly recently, when an Ontario man attending a sporting event was fired from his six-figure-salary job for making crudely offensive comments to a female reporter on live TV.
While there is little question that the fellow’s behaviour was crass and grossly out of line, it has stirred debate about whether los-ing his livelihood over something he did on his own time, not his employer’s, was reasonable and justified.
Setting aside for the moment any moral judgments about this fellow’s conduct, what his situ-ation (and many others like it) illustrates is how the boundaries between personal and profes-sional conduct are fast becoming blurred.
In our modern “wired world,” the definition of privacy is being re-written as we spend more and more time in the public eye -- whether tweeting our thoughts and photos or making question-able comments within earshot of ever-present recording devices.
In the case of the ex-employee from Ontario, he was guilty of not only vulgarity but also stagger-ingly poor judgment by voicing his opinions in the midst of a live network broadcast.
While it’s true he was not on company time when he made the provocative comments, his employer could, and did, argue that his actions harmed the com-pany’s reputation… meaning they were within their rights to dismiss him under current Canadian law.
As I’ve noted previously in this column, too many workers in the modern age seem not to under-stand that anything you do or say on-line – or that can be captured and circulated on-line – is prac-tically impossible to erase.
Whether it was done on your own time or your employer’s, and whether it was serious enough to warrant criminal charges, is fast becoming irrelevant in disciplin-ary cases.
Witness another Ontario man who was recently suspended from work over allegations he harassed a female stand-up comic
in a nightclub, or the Vancouver woman who lost her job after being identified as a participant in the 2011 Stanley Cup riots.
The moral for today, then, is that amid a cultural epidemic of TV cameras, webcams and smart-phones, workers need to be extra vigilant about what they say and do in the public sphere (a sphere that’s much larger than it used to be, and seemingly expanding every day).
More than ever before, you need to be conscious of how your indi-vidual actions may reflect on your professional reputation if ever they went “viral” -- something that nowadays, as more and more folks have found to their detriment, is a distinct possibility.

DavidMacFaddenOn the Job
Do bicycle lanes cause confusion on the road?
I hate to admit it, but bicycle lanes confuse me.
The Motor Vehicle Act (MVA) defines them as a desig-nated use lane that is part of the highway, but not part of the roadway.
Both the province and muni-cipalities are able to create designated use lanes and restrict who may use them through legis-lation. You might be surprised about what this might mean for both cyclists and drivers.
For the driver, the concept of roadway suddenly becomes very important. Roadway includes the lanes motor vehicles drive in and the area where they park at the side of the highway that is not the shoulder.
So, if you approach an inter-section intending to make a right turn, your pre-turn position is dependent on whether there is a curb or parking is available to the right of the bicycle lane or not. If not, you must remain to the left of the bicycle lane. If so, and it is practical to do so, you must move onto the parking area or next to the curb before you turn.
For the cyclist, it is forbidden to ride other than single file when using the roadway. If the shoul-
der of the highway or the cycle lane is wide enough, there is no rule that prohibits riding side by side there unless a bylaw directs otherwise.
If the highway shoulder is paved and passable, a cyclist must ride on it. If not, they are allowed to use the right hand edge of the roadway. The MVA does not require the use of cycle lanes if present and I have not found a municipal bylaw that requires their use either.
The bottom line? It’s probably best that cyclists use bicycle lanes if they are present and drivers should exercise extra caution, especially when turning. The cyclist may see their bicycle lane as being clear and pass you on the right.

Cathedral Grove an accident waiting to happen
Cathedral Grove! This magnifi-cent nature’s own park located east of Port Alberni is enjoyed by locals and visitors alike on a year round basis.
Due to the notoriety and popularity of this magnificent attraction, increasing numbers of visitors/tourists descend on the park during the spring and sum-mer months to explore and enjoy its natural wonder.
There is very limited designated vehicle parking to accommodate the numbers involved, there-fore drivers ingeniously make their own stalls on shoulders of the road and/or wherever they can squeeze into a vacant spot increasing the congestion in this already heavily populated area. As the highway divides the park, pedestrians have to judge traffic flow to dart from one side of the road to the other, providing a high element of danger and add-ing to driver frustration.
In addition to a flashing advis-ory approach light and speed limit reduced to 50 km/h, more is required. For the safety of every-one involved and before a tragedy occurs, wouldn’t traffic lights or crosswalks be justified? Don’t let it be said “why didn’t we” or “wish we had” after the fact.

Help parents with the high cost of children
It’s no surprise that parents with young children hold more than half of all of Canada’s household debt.
From parental leave and daycare to sports and school supplies, the costs of raising a child don’t stop adding up. House prices alone have surged ahead of income, and are now about eight times the average pre-tax income of a full-time worker.
With increased financial pres-sures and rising costs, we need to ask if the support the federal government provides to parents is enough.
The answer is no. The current system is a jumble of four pro-grams with different criteria: some are taxable, some are not; some help all kids, some don’t;
some disappear if you lose your job; some favour the wealthy.
No parent has the time to fig-ure out the complicated system while raising their kids.
The Liberal Party of Canada has a plan to bring back fairness: the Canada Child Benefit. By rolling all these funds together, topping them up with money saved from eliminating waste, and then targeting lower and middle income families, it would provide a lot more help per child every month, completely tax-free, to nine out of ten Canadian families.
The lowest income families would get $6400 a year for a child under six, and $5400 for a child over six.
The benefit would be reduced gradually as family incomes become larger.
The statistically “median” family — two parents and two kids (one under six and one over) with a total income of $90,000 — would get $5875 per year tax-free, over $2500 more than the current system.
The current system gives money to those who need it least. We can do more for those who really need help by helping those who truly don’t less. That’s a fair-er system.
By giving more help to mid-dle-class parents and all those who are working so hard to get there, the Canada Child Benefit will ease pressure on family finances and help every parent give their children the best pos-sible start in life. Fairness is a better plan.

Residential schools are Canada’s great shameIf America’s great shame is
slavery, the Truth and Recon-ciliation Commission’s report painfully laid out Canada’s great shame Tuesday.
Canada and Canadians are guilty of genocide against its aboriginal population.
Genocide is a harsh word, load-ed with so much meaning and more commonly associated with the targeted slaughter of people in Nazi Germany, Cambodia and Rwanda.
Yet genocide is about far more than that.
“Generally speaking, geno-cide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accom-plished by mass killings of all members of a nation,” wrote Raphael Lemkin in 1944.
“It is intended rather to signify a co-ordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves. The objectives of
such a plan would be the disinte-gration of the political and social institutions, of culture, lan-guage, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruc-tion of the personal security, lib-erty, health, dignity, and even the lives of the individuals belonging to such groups.”
Lemkin gets to define genocide because the word didn’t exist until he invented it, addressing what Winston Churchill had once called a crime with no name. Lemkin simply combined the Greek “genos,” meaning people, and the Latin “cide,” meaning to kill.
Lemkin’s definition prevails to this day in international law and with the United Nations. The breadth of genocide’s full mean-ing show how Lemkin, a lawyer of Polish and Jewish descent, deeply understood that violence and murder are just two of the many ways to destroy a group of people.
The Truth and Reconciliation
Commission called what hap-pened in residential schools in Canada for 120 years “cultural genocide” but that is too polite, too politically correct, too Canadian.
There is no such thing as “cul-tural genocide,” in Lemkin’s view. The stories by residential school survivors told to the com-mission clearly meet “the dis-integration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language... personal security, liberty, health, dignity” under Lemkin.
When defining genocide, Lem-kin stepped smartly around the numbers question.
Genocide can’t be explained as more than one million deaths or one thousand or even one. Geno-cide is not destruction but the planned destruction of an identi-fiable group.
Even if multiple actors working independently of one another are involved, if there is a “co-or-dinated plan” to steal a people’s existence, including its self-iden-
tity, regardless of the plan’s degree of success, that, too, is genocide.
The Canadian government, working with the Roman Cath-olic Church, conspired to eradi-cate the history, culture, lan-guage and identity of Canada’s aboriginal peoples for more than a century by shipping young people away from their families and communities to schools where the Indian could be unlearned and children could be taught to be proper “Canadians.”
The result was generations of misery from substance and sex-ual abuse, violence, poverty, vic-timization and powerlessness.
Perhaps worst of all, it created multiple schisms in the aborig-inal community and even with-in individual families, pitting those who excelled in broader Canadian society, those who refused to be considered victims and those who chose to not be identified by their skin colour, language or birth place against those who were discriminated
against and shunned, those who found solace with others in their victimhood and those who refuse to accept the selfish and indi-vidualistic notions of identity so commonly held in the “white man’s” world.
The reconciliation between and within aboriginal communities is just as important as the rec-onciliation that needs to happen between Canada’s First Nations and its governments and the Catholic Church.
A papal visit to Canada and a sincere, heartfelt apology and acceptance of blame from Pope Francis would help, but the Vatican only aided and abetted a travesty that was born and bred in Canada. The shame must be owned and understood by all Canadians and the genocide perpetrated on this country’s aboriginal populations under the guise of education must be accepted as truth. Without that, there can be no reconciliation.
PRINCE GEORGE CITIZEN
Join them on a path to healingCall it. Call a spade a spade.
That’s what Canada’s com-missioners for the historic Truth and Reconciliation Commission have done, to their credit and to the benefit of all Canadians.
It’s time for the Harper govern-ment to do the same, now, to set this country on the long, hard road to understanding itself, to make some peace with its past. The commission, chaired by Manitoba’s own Justice Murray Sinclair, has declared the federal government aimed to “cause aboriginal people to cease to exist as distinct legal, social, cul-tural, religious and racial enti-ties in Canada.”
John A. Macdonald authorized the schools in 1883, to take the children away from the influences of the “savages,” their parents, to make them white like him. Indian residential schools, the commis-sion says, were central to a policy of “cultural genocide.”
The pull-no-punches executive summary, released Tuesday ahead of its multi-volume full report, is a blunt indictment of Canada’s cen-tury-long experiment of assimila-tion to get rid of the “Indian prob-lem.” The Indian Act made school attendance mandatory in 1920. Where day schools didn’t exist, children as young as or younger than five were forcibly sent to for-bidding institutions run by church people filled with religious fervourand little parenting know-how.

in many families today –by people who never attended a residential school. No one can simply say that the schools are closed and we should “just get over it.” The effect of the schools is still with us.
That said, the Truth and Recon-ciliation commission is not about living in the past or remaining stuck in old patterns. Through these five years or hearings, truth
has been spoken so that Aborig-inals and non-Aboriginals can have a solid, honest place to start
a new relationship, one marked by understanding and hope, not riddled by guilt or shame. The Commission is not about airing grievances. It is about reconcilia-tion, about building a new future together.
Chief Commission Murray Sinclair says it well: “This is about your grandchildren because we’re leaving them this society. And do we want to leave
them a society in which they are always in conflict?
“Or do we want to leave them a society in which they see them-selves as partners in this wonder-ful nation that we want to have, but we don’t yet have.”

VALLEY FACESGetting to know the people who live in the Alberni Valley
Family, faith and fi tness for resident with goals KRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
Crystal Salmon is a born and raised Alberni Valley resident who returned to town to raise her own family.
Crystal grew up in a busy and loving household with parents, Rob and Paulette Nichelle and brother, Jeremy. The class of 1999 ADSS graduate first started school at Snow White preschool and continued to Wood Ele-mentary and Mt. Klitsa Junior Secondary schools. Through her childhood and teen years, she was highly involved in the arts, specifically dance and music.
At the age of eight, Crystal joined Studio West dance school where she took ballet, jazz and sang with musical theatre.
Influenced by her mother, Crys-tal spent a lot of time at Alberni Christian Fellowship Church where they sang together. She not only gained leadership skills by leading the worship team and youth group, she ran the Sunday school and weekly ball hockey games.
After graduating from ADSS, Crystal went straight to Trinity Western University and con-tinued to dance with the Trinity Impact dance team. After two years, with an original plan to go into teaching, she found herself at the University of Victoria and acquired a degree in Child and Youth Care. Not only that, she met her future husband, Mike. Married in 2002, the two lived in Burnaby for a short time, but when Mike was offered a job as a medical lab technician in Port Alberni, it was an easy decision to move back home.
“Both of our families are here and it is a lot more affordable,” Crystal said. “We were able to be close to family before starting our own.”
Crystal initially started her career in town as an on-call edu-cational assistant for the school district. She was then hired
at the Port Alberni Christian School. In 2008, she moved to John Paul II Catholic School as an educational assistant for chil-dren with special needs, where she has been ever since. By that time, the couple was ready to start a family and had their first daughter, Lauren, followed shortly after by their second, Rachel.
Crystal knew she always want-ed children, and as a parent, describes herself as someone who needs a balance between home and work life.
“I am a very involved parent, but I love my job and value that balance in life,” she said.
The Salmons do a lot togeth-er as a family including bike riding, fishing and canoeing or just going for a walk around the neighbourhood.
Raised by two professional photographers, Crystal also enjoys photography and makes it a point to document both her family and work.
“I learned a lot from my par-ents, especially the marketing end of a small business,” she said. “They had to work to get their work and that is a big part of my job [at JPII Catholic School].”
Crystal’s duo role at the school includes being in the classroom helping students, as well as working on the promotional aspect. She administers the Face-book page, writes articles and plans events.
“I love being part of the cre-ative culture and the way the community sees us,” she said.
She said she is not the only one with multiple roles.
“Everyone here has so much more invested in it, we don’t want to just make it business as usual,” she said. “We want to make it bigger and better. What-ever we need to do to make the school function is all done with-out question. It is amazing to be part of something like that.”
Part of Crystal’s enthusiasm comes from various mentors along the way. The first being her first dance teacher, Tania Brossoit.
“She gave me my confidence to be on stage and put my body in front of people to watch and judge,” she said. “That takes a lot of guts and courage and I’m not shy about speaking in front of people.”
Crystal’s youth pastor, Neil Riley was also an influence in her life.
“He always challenged me to be real, authentic and to live my faith,” she said. “He gave me leadership opportunities like running the youth group, Sun-day School and bible studies for girls.”
Crystal’s latest goal is to return
to university this fall for a teaching degree. The challenge involves commuting to Vancou-ver Island University five days a week.
“I always said that when my youngest daughter started kin-dergarten I would go back and I am proud of my self for doing it,” she said. “It has been this environment [at JPII Catholic School] that has encouraged me. I am inspired by the teachers. It is hard not to get caught up in their passion for teaching. I want to do what they do and strive to do it just as well.”
Crystal also keeps in shape by running and attending boot camp and said instructors Dave and Jill Sherlock have also been mentors for healthy living and relationships.
“They exercise together and hold hands,” she said. “That is so good to see.”
Her final project before vaca-tion is the school’s annual Around the World in Three Hours Fun Fair this Friday. Big-ger than ever, it always attracts families from the community and there will be something for kids of all ages. She invites everyone to the school from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. tomorrow for games, activities, many huge raf-fle baskets and ethnic food.
With the summer off, Crystal hopes to spend as much time with her family camping, stay-ing local and completing home renovations.

The Truth and Reconcilia-tion Commission of Can-ada held its closing events
in Ottawa this week. Through the past five years the Commission has collected more than 7,000 stories from survivors of Indian Residential Schools in Canada. A dark part of our national history has been brought to light. There are many things to learn from this commission.
A key truth is that this is a Can-adian story. Most Canadians alive today had little or nothing to do with Indian Residential Schools. Many had no idea that they even existed or what they were about. Now we know that our govern-ment, our churches, our society was involved in a harmful, preju-diced plan to fix the “Indian prob-lem,” as our first Prime Minister, John A Macdonald called it.
Decisions were made and poli-cies were established generations ago, but the impact is still with us. The simple passage of time will not allow any Canadian to dismiss this part of our history and there-fore someone else’s problem. We drink downstream; this is a Can-adian story that continues today.
Our nation can also learn that about the generational effect of abuse suffered at the schools. In many families, two or three or even up to seven consecutive generations of children were taken from their families. That means that several generations were raised in large part by people other than their parents. Without the positive examples of parents, it is extremely difficult to be a good parent to one’s own children. Thus, even though the last residential school closed some years ago, effects can still be felt
Crystal Salmon has found the perfect balance between raising a young family, working full-time, pursuing her interests and soon, returning to post-secondary education. [KRISTI DOBSON, TIMES]

Yankees record 3-1 win over MarinersTIM BOOTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE — Garrett Jones and Mark Teixeira homered, Masahiro Tanaka gave up one run over seven innings in his return from the disabled list and the New York Yankees completed a three-game sweep of Seattle Mariners with a 3-1 vic-tory Wednesday.
Jones homered for the second straight day, hitting a two-run shot in the fourth inning off Seattle starter Taijuan Walker (2-6). Jones hit a three-run home run in the 11th inning of the Yankees’ 5-3 victory Tuesday night.
Teixeira added his second home run of the ser-ies and his 16th of the season, hitting a solo shot in the second inning that just eluded leaping right fielder Seth Smith at the wall.
Tanaka (3-1) made his first start in more than a month and did not miss a beat.
Despite being on an 80-pitch limit in his return, Tanaka got through seven innings without even reaching the 80-pitch mark, throwing just 78 pitches in handing the Mariners their fifth straight loss.
Tanaka struck out a season-high nine and had zero walks, going to a three-ball count against only two batters.
The Mariners one chance at a big inning against Tanaka came in the third when Brad Mil-ler tripled and scored on Dustin Ackley’s one-hop double off the left field wall.
But the rally ended quickly. With one out, Mor-rison singled to left, but Ackley was thrown out at the plate on a perfect throw from left fielder Ramon Flores and Austin Jackson struck out looking to end the threat.
Seattle loaded the bases in the eighth against relievers Chris Capuano and Andrew Miller with one out behind a single, hit batter and walk. But Miller recovered to strike out Logan Morrison after falling behind 3-0, and got a ground out from Austin Jackson to end the threat.
Miller pitched the ninth for his 17th save.

Local wrestlers make Team BCSUBMITTED
A small group of Alberni Wrestlers made the jour-ney to Vancouver over the weekend to participate in the Western Canada Games Team Trials at Carson Gra-ham Secondary School. The Provincial team is open to Grades 7 to 10 for both boys and girls. In the end three Alberni wrestlers were named to the team along with one alternate.
Aaron Badovinac, Seth Price and Morgan Dagenais were all named to the team by taking top spot in their respective weight classes over the weekend. Isaac McDonald was included as an alternate to the team.
Aaron Badovinac led in dominating fashion coming off his silver med-al at the cadet national championships.
He went through the tour-nament without a point being scored against him. head coach John McDonald said.
“We knew that Aaron had a good chance to make the team, however to domin-ate in the way he did was outstanding.”
Badovinac was also recent-ly named BC’s outstanding cadet wrestler of the year. Price and Dagenais were
both pleasant surprises to make the team. Price won two nail biting matches, including his final match to gain his spot on the team. Dagenais just finished her rugby season and thought she would throw her hat into the ring and it paid off. Dag-enais won the best two out of three series in the finals to gain her spot on the team.
She will later have a wres-tle off against another wrest-ler that was granted a peti-tion due to injury to secure her spot to wrestle for Team BC later in august.
Isaac McDonald lost a close semi-final match and came
back on the consolation side to take third place in the tournament. McDonald was selected as an alternate to the team making him eligible for all the summer training with the team but not to compete in the games unless someone is hurt or unable to compete later in August. Alberni club coach Chris Bodnar was impressed with what he saw.
“I have not been able to make all the practices lead-ing up to this event but could not believe the determina-tion of our kids,” he said.
“There is something about being an Alberni Wrestler
that is inherent with a deter-mination to compete and win.
“These kids should be proud of what they have achieved by making this team and the development opportunities this program has to offer.”
The Western Canada Games development pro-gram will have the Alberni athletes continue to train through the month of July. There are many camps and competitions that will be in the USA as well as regular trips to Vancouver on week-ends to practice with the Provincial team.
Aaron Badovinac, in blue, has earned a spot on the Team B.C. wrestling squad. [SUBMITTED]
Djokovic ends Nadal’s streak at French OpenHOWARD FENDRICH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PARIS — There was no trophy, and no title, on offer for Novak Djokovic at Court Philippe Chatrier.
Perhaps there should have been, considering what he accomplished.
Thoroughly outplaying the best there’s ever been on red clay, Djokovic ended Rafael Nadal’s 39-match French Open winning streak Wednesday by beating the nine-time champion in a surprisingly lopsided quarterfinal 7-5, 6-3, 6-1.
It’s only Nadal’s second defeat in 72 career matches at Roland Garros — and second in 95 best-of-five-set matches anywhere on the surface. The other came in the fourth round in Paris in 2009 against Robin Soder-ling. Before that, Nadal won four championships in a row. And since? Nadal collected a record five consecu-tive French Open titles.
“I lost in 2009, and (it) was not the end,” Nadal said. “I lost in 2015, and (it) is not the end.”
The No. 1-ranked Djokovic lost all six previous matches they’d played in Paris, including the 2012 and 2014 finals. But Djokovic’s defence allowed Nadal only three winners off his heavy topspin lefty fore-hand, perhaps the most feared shot in all of tennis.
Can LeBron James carry limping Cavaliers to a title?MIKE BRESNAHAN LOS ANGELES TIMES
OAKLAND, Calif. — It’s June again, time for the annual tradition of LeBron James on your TV for four to seven games.
James is in the NBA Finals a fifth consecutive year, his ZIP code notably changing but his appearances still as common as June blossoms.
He has no chance, however, against the Golden State Warriors. None. Just listen to the Cleveland Cavaliers critics.
James is injured. So is Kyrie Irving. And done-for-the-season Kevin Love.
He can’t win with the erratic Iman Shu-mpert. And the even more erratic J.R. Smith.
Who’s their center again? Oh. Timofey Mozgov.
Oddsmakers have made Golden State a 2-1 favorite to win the series, the Warriors finishing 14 games better than Cleve-land in the regular season and holding that “team of destiny” look so far in the playoffs.
All the attention continually lobbed at James by opponents, the media and everybody else could be “suffocating,” Golden State coach Steve Kerr recently told reporters.
James, though, has responded to every-thing more succinctly than ever.
His statistics are off the charts, with averages of 30.3 points, 11 rebounds and 9.3 assists against Atlanta in the Eastern Conference finals. His team might be fall-ing apart around him — Irving is hobbled by knee tendinitis and missed half of the
East finals — but James might be playing the best basketball of his career.
His most important critic thinks so.“If you put everything in one bottle, this
is probably the best I’ve been,” James told reporters.
James has played 101 playoff games over the last five years, essentially adding another entire season-plus of wear and tear. Two of his four Miami years ended with championship victories, the other two with losses to San Antonio last sea-son (no surprise) and Dallas (surprise!).
He rarely reflects on it but is now 30 and sat out eight games before midseason to rest knee and back injuries.
Not that old-school people want to hear about the toll so many playoff games can take on the body, even though James is the first star to appear in five consecutive Finals since Bill Russell with Boston in the 1960s.
“No, you’re playing basketball,” said Houston coach Kevin McHale, who played in four straight NBA Finals with Boston in the 1980s. “The physical toll was when you saw your pops come home from work-ing in the mines every single day. Believe me, every single day I played basketball was a blessing, and they paid you for it.”
McHale wasn’t specifically talking about James, more about long playoff runs.
But James needs to win this Finals to avoid falling too far below .500 in the biggest category of all — he stands 2-3 in championship rounds, having lost his only other one with Cleveland in four games in 2007.

Spring welcomes the return of Art Rave festival to Port Alberni starting June 19
Lighten up, get creative, and drawCAROLYN NESS FOR THE TIMES
Try this—just for fun. Grab some kind of writing or drawing tool, say a pencil, pen or crayon. Now find a blank piece of paper. No cheating, it’s got to be bigger than a postage stamp. The bigger the better. Sit comfortably at a table or desk and face the page. Breathe. Now, draw. Something.
Those brave warriors who actually follow through with this exercise will likely find themselves a little intimidated by that blank sheet of paper—if not outright anxious. Why is that I wonder? Why are we afraid to leave our mark on something as inconsequential as a sheet of paper in our own home?
Possibly we take art too ser-iously or we are overly critical of ourselves. It is more likely, however, that we are restricted in our ability to be creative due to our preconceived notions of things—that is, how we think things ought to be. The ability to be more expansive in our thinking is partly what being an artist is about. Although the nature to expand boundaries and push the limits comes naturally to some people—to others, not so much. But I think it can be learned through self- aware-ness and practice and that it is a worthwhile goal. Much like any discipline that expands our thinking—if we are successful,
the result is a liberating one.Spring once again welcomes
the return of the successful Port Alberni Art Rave Festival where you will have the opportunity to work on your own ‘mind expan-sion’ and turn out an original art creation. This year, a special pre-festival free Family Work-shop is planned for June 6 at the Rollin Centre. Here, kids of all ages will be able to paint their own festive flag to take home.
Participants can also collaborate on painting banners that will be used as display site decorations for the June 20, 21 Art Rave Festival at picturesque Harbour Quay—where all the fun will take place. Look forward to a free festival weekend of live music, spoken word and art, art art!
This year the Capital Theatre will be the venue for the Art Rave Group Art Show running June 19 to 26. Saturday, June
21 events run 1 to 11 p.m. and include a Beer Garden and even-ing Dance Concert featuring Cruze Control and Mysticgroove. Sunday Father’s Day, the focus will be on Family activities. You will be thoroughly entertained by a Live Old Time Radio Play, “Buckeroo Bob” presented by Art Matters Society. Kick up your heels to Port Alberni’s own marimba band, Marim-Bam-Buzz. Discover that perfect gift at the weekend Art Market and on Sunday, make unique memories with loved ones at the Dress Up Photo Booth. Stop by the Artists’ Demo Tent, the Art For All Ages tent and don’t miss the action of the Chain Saw carving at the Carving Tent. There will be lots to see and do. Check it out—Art Rave Festival—the weekend of June 20 - 21. For information and event updates see the Alberni Art Rave Facebook page or visit our website: www.alberniartrave.org.

Rockabilly band will play at Char’sALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
The Cam Stiles Trio with spe-cial guest Shelley “Sweet Potato” Brown will bring its rockabilly style to Char’s Landing Saturday night.
Cam Stiles is a bassist/singer/songwriter from the Cowichan Valley. He got his start on the Victoria Indi Rock scene in the mid 90’s, but it was in the bars of Central Alberta in various cover bands where he developed his chops. Cam formed his trio, “The Cam Stiles Trio” in 2003 in Red Deer as an Indi Rock band so he could sing and preform origin-al music. The band experienced a mild degree of success, but never recorded.
Cam moved back to Vancouver Island in 2008 and settled in the Cowichan Valley. He re-estab-lished his musical collaboration with long time friend and musi-cian Greg Madill in his band “Greg Madill and The Nightrise Band.”
He also helped start Vancou-ver Island Beach Band “Tropic Mayhem”.
It was in 2012 with the help of his “Tropic Mayhem” band mates that Cam finally recorded some of his original songs writ-ten for his trio. The result was a five song EP called “Procrastin-ation.” A new line up of the trio was assembled later that year to promote the project. With Cam’s preference to play more Stand Up Bass, the trio began to focus on a Swing/Rockabilly sound. In 2014, Cam helped start a new Rockabilly band called “The Hell Katz”. His show runs from 8 to 10 p.m. Saturday night. Tickets can be bought at the door.
Disney sets ‘Tangled’ series dateNARDINE SAAD LOS ANGELES TIMES
The Disney Channel is letting down its hair for a “Tangled” animated series in 2017.
The network announced pro-duction on “Tangled Ever After,” based on the 2010 hit film, that is set between the end of the animated feature and the start of the eponymous 2012 short film.
“Tangled’s” original voice stars, Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi, are set to return to Corona for a new batch of adventures.
The former pop star will be reprising her role as Rapunzel and the “Chuck” alum will voice her swashbuckling pal Eugene (a.ka. Flynn Rider). Plucky cha-meleon, Pascal, Maximus the horse and the Snuggly Duckling Pub Thugs will also appear in the series, along with newcom-
er Cassandra, a tough hand-maiden who becomes Rapunzel’s confidante.
Their new adventures unfold as the once tower-bound fairy-tale princess gets reacquainted with her parents and her new kingdom.
“Her irrepressible spirit and natural curiosity about the world drives her to the realization that there is so much more she needs to learn before she can truly accept her royal destiny,” the synopsis said.
“She boldly puts her crown and impending marriage on hold to seek out epic adventures, much to the dismay of the king who, after missing out on Rapunzel’s youth, must accept that his daughter is now an independent young woman.”
Academy Award-winning composer Alan Menken and lyricist Glenn Slater are also set to return for the series, which will be produced by Disney Television Animation and was developed by animation veter-ans Chris Sonnenburg (Disney’s “Enchanted”) and Shane Prig-more (“The Lego Movie”).
“Tangled” opened with $68.7 million when it hit theaters over Thanksgiving in 2010. The musical film went on to earn $200 million domestically and more than $593 million globally, the network said.

‘Vette ZO6 convertible competes with other legendary topless speedsters like the Aston Martin
Corvette may be best sports car MARK PHELAN DETROIT FREE PRESS
You’d have a hard time proving the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette ZO6 convertible (I give it four out of four stars) isn’t the best sports car on Earth.
With 0-60 mph times as low as of 2.95 seconds — quicker than the moment between your phone’s first and second rings — it’d be easy to call the ZO6 scary fast, but there’s nothing remote-ly frightening about Chevrolet’s 650-horsepower supercar.
Sure, the Corvette ZO6 is the most powerful Corvette ever, but it’s also a great value, remark-ably fuel-efficient and so easy to drive you may forget you’re at the wheel of one of the world’s great cars.
But not for long.Every time you walk up to the
gorgeous convertible, every time you accelerate, turn or brake, this best ’Vette ever reminds you GM’s engineers and designers have achieved something very special.
The Corvette ZO6 convertible competes with other legendary convertibles like the Aston Mar-tin DB9 Volante, Audi R8 Quattro V-10 Spyder, Bentley Continental GT Speed, BMW M6, Ferrari California, Mercedes SL65 AMG and Porsche 911 S turbo. “Com-pete” may not be the right word, though. The ZO6 convertible beats them soundly. It costs $35,000 to $175,000 less than those other great cars. It also out-accel-erates and has more horsepower than any of them.
The ZO6 comes with a 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 and a sev-en-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission. My test car had a manual transmission, heated and cooled seats, Bose audio, Bluetooth phone and music compatibility, USB ports, voice recognition, navigation, rev matching for seamless shifts, a one-touch power soft top and more. It stickered at $93,240. All prices exclude destination char-ges. The 2016 ZO6 adds trim and appearance options, a couple of features and a race-inspired C7.R model.
The supercharged V-8 produces 650 horsepower, 650 pound-feet of torque and delivers a top speed of 195 mph.
Manual transmission models like mine reach 60 mph in 3.2 seconds, about 10 percent slower than GM’s slick eight-speed auto-matic. The rev-matching feature, which allows you to shift manu-ally without lifting the throttle,
performs seamlessly.The seven-speed manual is
smooth and pliable, with a light shifter and clutch effort and short throws. Indicators in the heads-up display and instrument panel show what gear you’re in.
The engine note, throttle response, adaptive suspension, steering and other functions offer modes for regular and sporty driving, winter or track conditions. E
ven in the normal touring mode, the engine delivers stun-ning power and a lovely sound.
The ZO6’s Environmental Pro-
tection Agency fuel economy rating of 15 mpg in the city, 22 on the highway and 18 combined is impressive. It’s the most power-ful car in its class, but the ZO6’s combined rating trails only the 560-hp Porsche 911 S turbo.
The adaptive magnetic suspen-sion provides a fine combination of comfort and handling. It muf-fles the impact of broken pave-ment that would chatter your teeth in most sports cars, but also holds the ZO6 flat and stable in spirited driving.
The Corvette’s stiff aluminum frame allowed Chevy to offer a
convertible version of the ZO6 for the first time. The body work is lighter because of extensive use of carbon fiber and wider to accommodate the ZO6’s very sticky Michelin Super Pilot run-flat tires.
The massive carbon-ceram-ic Brembo brakes could have stopped the asteroid that exter-minated the dinosaurs. They’re smooth and easy to modulate.
My car’s interior was wrapped in soft leather, with carbon fiber and microfiber trim. It has impressive interior storage room thanks to an ingenious
compartment behind the touch screen in its center stack. The touch screen, conventional con-trols and voice recognition make all the ZO6’s functions easy to operate.
I was surprised such an advanced car lacked blind spot/cross traffic alert and adaptive cruise control.
But the standard camera makes backing up easy.
But if there were ever a street car that begs the racing adage “what’s behind me doesn’t mat-ter,” it’s the Chevrolet Corvette ZO6.
The 650-hp, 2016 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is one of the most capable vehicles on the market, capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in only 2.95 seconds, achieving 1.2 g in cornering acceleration, and braking from 60-0 mph in just 99.6 feet. [CHEVROLET]

Volvo bills XC90 as world’s fi rst 7-seat plug-in CHRIS WOODYARD USA TODAY
SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Just when it seemed like Volvo might have lost its edge, along comes the new XC90 crossover.
Volvo, the Swedish brand, packed the new version of its high-end SUV with just about every feature that a luxury buyer could request. If the the fancy touchscreen and new seats aren’t enough, consider that it can drive itself up to 30 miles per hour. Yes, drive itself.
Volvo also gave it a headline: The world’s first modern sev-en-seat plug-in hybrid SUV.
Plus, it comes in a gorgeous package.
The front end, in particular, has been redone to give it a classic, clean Scandinavian look that should wear well over the next few years. There’s even a new distinctive front-end signature — daytime running lights in the shape of a sideways T that Volvo
calls the “Hammer of Thor.”It’s a remarkable comeback for a
brand that looked like it might be headed down the wrong fjord. In fact, Volvo appears to returning to its roots, when it developed a loyal following as a standalone brand before it was acquired by Ford. Back in the day, Volvo was known for cars that endure end-less Swedish winters while innov-ating on safety at a time when other automakers largely ignored the issue.
Ford let go of its foreign luxury brands during the recession. Volvo was snapped up by China’s Geely Holdings and Jaguar went
to India’s Tata. But unlike Jaguar, Volvo didn’t quickly attract new attention with slick high-impact marketing and a bevy of new models. Volvo has stayed rela-tively quiet, turning out shapely prototype vehicles for auto shows with only hints that it was about to stage a comeback.
The XC90 is that comeback. As a three-row SUV, it’s big enough and expensive enough that Volvo could pour in its best. It becomes a showcase for all that is promis-ing about the brand. Volvo spared no attention to detail. We were impressed by its:
Each of the two rear rows is a little higher than the row in front of it. This “stadium seating” approach allows rear-seat passen-gers to better see the front-seat passengers and out the wind-shield. Also, the rear seats are offset from the three in front of them, also making for improved sight lines. The second-row seats move easily to clear a path to the
back. Headroom is ample in the XC90 except for tall passengers in the third row, which automakers figure will usually be occupied by kids. Volvo is making a big deal about its redesigned seats aimed at better spine support. The seats did seem especially comfortable — and Volvo says they will be available with side bolsters, cush-ion extension and massage.
Powertrain: The new XC90 will come in two versions. The T6 has a four-cylinder engine that makes up for its small size by being both turbocharged and supercharged for maximum performance and gas mileage. The T8 uses the same engine but is the plug-in hybrid. It is matched with an eight-speed transmission.
The T6 comes in all-wheel-drive and develops 316 horsepower. The T8 gets an 87-horsepower boost from its electric motor that, when used in combination with the gas engine, is good for 400 horsepower combined. As a result, Volvo says
it can leap from zero to 60 miles per hour in 5.6 seconds. It has an electric-only driving range of about 17 miles before its gas engine kicks in, enough for many daily commutes. Its lithium-ion battery, located near the rear axle, takes about two and half hours to charge fully from a 220-volt outlet.
Safety: Volvo isn’t about to let loose of its image as the safest auto brand. In the case of the XC90, it burnishes the reputation by introducing a new technology: an automatic braking system to prevent drivers from dangerously turning into oncoming traffic. If the system detects that a collision can occur during a left-hand turn, it automatically prevents the turn from happening. The XC90 also has a system designed to protect passengers if the vehicle runs off the road, automatically tightening the front-seat belts if it detects the vehicle is unexpected-ly leaving the pavement.
“As a three-row SUV, it’s big enough and expensive enough that Volvo could pour in its best.”

Principals impose restriction on e-cigsROSS ARMOUR NANAIMO DAILY NEWS
Students who smoke e-ciga-rettes will now be told to leave them behind before coming to school in the morning.
The move comes after Nanaimo-Ladysmith school district principals decided to impose the restrictions across all secondary schools, despite the fact the devices fall within the school district’s code of conduct for students.
Dale Burgos, director of com-munications at the school dis-trict, said the principals were “all on board” with the initiative.
“Basically they’ll be treated the same way as cigarettes,” said Burgos.
“It will result in confiscation and they will be taken away immediately and handed back to parents.”
Ladysmith Secondary School principal Steve Thompson says the initiative should not be seen as a ban.
“We have not “banned” them, but just asked that students not bring these devices with them, or have them at school,” he said.
“We have started to see these devices with some of our stu-dents who smoke at the school.
“We initially treated them like cigarettes, and students cannot smoke on school property.”
BC Hydro gains rare approval to reduce fl ows into river to consere water supply
Puntledge will dip to new lowsCOMOX VALLEY ECHO
Rare approval has been grant-ed to BC Hydro to reduce flows in the Puntledge River to new lows in order to conserve water supplies.
With the agreement of other government agencies, the Comptroller of Water Rights has granted the power company — which controls water from Comox Lake — a variation in its licence, allowing it to severely curtail river flows this summer, starting right away.
And from Monday (June 1), water use restrictions for most homes and businesses in the Comox Valley will be stepped up.
The unusual step of a licence variation has been taken follow-ing detailed discussions with the federal department of fisheries and oceans and the provincial ministry of forests, lands and natural resource operations.
“The result of those discus-sions is an agreement to consider fish habitat over a likely record dry summer and still having some water for returning salmon in September,” said BC Hydro spokesperson Stephen Watson. “We are thinking long-term.”
As the master licence holder for the lake’s water, BC Hydro has to serve the needs of various users, including the 40,000 people in Courtenay, Comox and some neighbouring rural areas hooked up to the Comox Valley Regional District’s water system.
It is they that face Stage 2 water restrictions from Monday, mean-ing that people may use a sprink-
ler to water a lawn only on these days and between these times: at even numbered addresses on Tuesdays and Saturdays between 4 a.m. and 9 a.m. and between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m.; and at odd num-bered addresses on Wednesdays and Sundays between 4 a.m. and 9 a.m. and between 7p.m. and 10 p.m.
Another important user of water from the lake is the DFO, which operates the Puntledge fish hatchery and which oversees fish habitat in the river system.
To balance near-term and long-term flows for fish and still have water left in the reservoir by the
end of summer, BC Hydro and the agencies have agreed their plan for the coming months.
Normally, the minimum river flow to be sure fish thrive is 15.6 cubic metres a second. But from last weekend, below the Pun-tledge power generating station that flow has been cut to 14 cubic metres a second for a three-week period ending June 15.
“The river flow will then be reduced to 12 cubic metres a second from June 16 to July 31,” Watson added.
“And for the month of August, the flows will be reduced to the extreme conservation flow of 9
cubic metres a second.”The generating station, which
is currently running at only 20 per cent capacity to save water, will be shut down altogether from mid-June through Sep-tember, he confirmed - unless there is an extraordinary and unexpected change in the weather.
“On June 15, all required down-stream fish habitat flows will be passed down the Nymph Falls and Stotan Falls section of the Puntledge River; no flow will be coming out of the generating sta-tion,” Watson explained.
He added: “This is the first time in BC Hydro’s Puntledge River operations history that such a long and precise oper-ational plan has been put in place. Unprecedented conditions require steadfast focus on rela-tionships to manage through this as best as possible.”
For the federal DFO, Darcy Mil-ler, the Puntledge River water-shed enhancement manager, said the DFO and BC Hydro would “work cooperatively to ensure the best conditions possible for fish while ensuring water con-servation measures are achieved during the unseasonably dry months ahead.”
As previously reported in the Echo, current water inflows into the reservoir are around 11-13 cubic metres a second, below his-torical record lows dating back 52 years.
“There has been negligible snowpack run-off into the reser-voir; basically there hasn’t been any,” said Watson.

Duncan RCMP ‘exceptionally busy’LEXI BAINAS COWICHAN VALLEY CITIZEN
Visibility is going to be a prior-ity for the North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP again this sum-mer, according to Inspector Ray Carfantan.
It’s an initiative that’s popular with the general public, he said.
In addition, Speed Watch vol-unteers “have really stepped up their game,” he told North Cowichan council in his latest report.
“We’ve seen a two-thirds drop in the number of vehicles that are driving over 10 km over the speed limit,” he said.
In addition, there is a push coming all the way through the system as chiefs of police to increase traffic safety in school zones.
Local Mounties have been “exceptionally busy” during the past few months, though, which has made it hard for officers to find the time to walk through communities, he said.
One of the aspects of police work that takes time and resources is looking for missing persons.
“We have had 400-500 missing persons reported this year,” Car-fantan said.
Those calls “eat up a lot of time,” he told councillors.
“Someone calls up and says: ‘My son’s missing!’ There seems to be a public perception out there; parents don’t think enough is being done.”
Part of the problem with the public’s view of these cases is that “a lot of times people see things on TV,” he said.
Contrary to what might be thought, a lot of missing per-sons are found at home.
“The first thing we do is search
the house. We do find a large number of people hiding under their beds,” Carfantan said.
Asked about the recent situation at Drinkwater Ele-mentary School, where RCMP officers responded in force to a bomb threat, he said “we were happy with the way everyone responded there.”
He also told councillors that a later situation that saw the apprehension of a dangerous man near Parkside Academy’s Somenos School site saw the population of that day-care evacuated smoothly to the North Cowichan council chambers.
The problem with finding the perpetrator of such a hoax is that “the call we got was a digitized text,” he said, explain-ing that similar calls went to Langley and Kamloops “calling the police about a situation that didn’t exist. It was a tremendous draw on resources.
The impact is broad in those cases.
Ambulances were called out and the hospital was on standby,” he said.

TERRORISM MEDICINE
Nuttall, Korody tried to bomb provincial legislature during Canada Day events
B.C. couple guilty in terror plotGEORDON OMAND THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — A British Col-umbia couple has been found guilty of conspiring to commit murder in a terror plot involving a foiled attempt to bomb the provincial legislature.
But the conviction was put on hold while defence lawyers argue that their clients were entrapped in an elaborate police sting oper-ation that led to their arrest.
The jury also found John Nut-tall and Amanda Korody guilty of possessing an explosive sub-stance and placing an explosive in a public place, both on behalf of a terrorist group.
As the verdict was read out, Nuttall made a heart shape with his fingers directed at Korody.
Speaking outside the court-room, Crown lawyer Peter Eccles said he was pleased with the hard work by the jury.
He denied suggestions from defence lawyers that Nuttall and Korody were manipulated by the RCMP into committing the crime, describing the officer’s actions as “good, old-fashioned police work.”
“My relief is the same at the end of any trial,” said Eccles.
“The trial is finished, the jury is able to do their job and they’re able to render a true verdict.”
Nuttall’s lawyer Marilyn Sand-ford said her client is “very disappointed” with the verdict but that Nuttall understands many important issues in the case have yet to be decided.
“We say the police manufac-tured this crime and that’s not permissible in our law,” said Sandford.
She argued that the police themselves had committed crimes in the process of staging the undercover operation.
“They were involved in exactly the same activities to a large extent that our clients were,” she
said. Sandford also took issue with spiritual advice provided by undercover officers, advice she said was designed to encourage Nuttall and Korody to commit crimes.
Korody’s lawyer Mark Jette alleged police violated his client’s charter rights and said he would argue both entrapment and abuse of process. He said Korody is disappointed in the immediate aftermath of the ver-dict but that she is prepared for the next step.
The next stage will involve hearing testimony from sen-ior RCMP officials who were involved behind the scenes in orchestrating the operation, the defence lawyers said.
“What undercover operators do on the front lines is ... directed and controlled and there’s a lot of discussion that happens in the background before these oper-ations unfold,” Jette said.
“I’m not going to get into the details but we’re going to hear a lot more about that.”
In an emailed statement, Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney commended the police and applauded the jury for reaching a guilty verdict.
“This case serves as a stark reminder that the threat of jihadi terrorism is real and Can-adians must remain vigilant,” said Blaney in the statement. “We cannot protect Canada or our communities by simply choosing to ignore this threat.”
Nuttall and Korody both face a maximum sentence of life in prison. The jury began deliberat-ing behind closed doors on Sun-day morning after hearing more than four months of testimony.
The couple was arrested on July 1, 2013, the day they were accused of planted three pressure-cooker bombs on the grounds of the legislature. The police had ensured the bombs were inert.
Covert recordings were taken of Nuttall and Korody at home, during meetings in various hotel rooms and while driving around with undercover officers. One video appeared to depict the two hiding their faces with scarves and filming a jihadist video they planned to release after their attack. The Crown alleged the couple used what they believed were authentic al-Qaida connec-tions to arm bombs brimming with deadly metal shrapnel.

Medical pot producer parts with group NANAIMO DAILY NEWS
Nanaimo industrial medical cannabis producer Tilray is part-ing ways with the national asso-ciation of growers to start its own organization to set ethical standards for the industry.
Tilray, which has more than $70 million in U.S. equity back-ing, and which Fortune Maga-zine describes as the largest legal pot maker in the world, said it has been working for several months to develop a code of eth-ics with the Canadian Medical Cannabis Industry Association.
The company has chosen to go it alone after failing to get consensus on a set of ethical standards of conduct for the industry. Tilray CEO Greg Engel wants to improve the image of the cannabis industry, which he said is “tainted” by its history as an illegal drug.
“Our concern is that a number of licensed producers are either directly, or indirectly paying for patient referrals,” Engel said.
Tilray, which produces medical cannabis at its Maughan Road facility, has received numerous $50 invoices from doctors and clinics across Canada.

BRUCE CHEADLE THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — A week shy of exact-ly seven years after his historic apology in the House of Com-mons, Prime Minister Stephen Harper will help close out the Truth and Reconciliation Commis-sion’s summary report today at Rideau Hall.
Despite thousands of hours of emotional testimony from residen-tial school survivors over six years, a six-volume report in the making and a $60-million class-action settlement, the heavy lifting for the government of Canada really hasn’t started.
Justice Murray Sinclair delivered a moving summary report on Tuesday — the full, six-volume collection will follow later this year — that came freighted with 94 distinct recommendations, many of which include multiple subsections.
From changing the oath of cit-izenship to amending the Criminal Code, from a massive increase in eduction funding for First Nations to restoring CBC funding, from changes to social and health-care services to a public inquiry on missing and murdered indigenous women, the report recommends a complete rebuild of the Crown relationship with Canada’s origin-
al inhabitants. The commission is acutely aware that reconciliation may take generations, and that it drafted recommendations that may not be easily digestible for the Conservative government.
“You have to remember that we were writing for the future, not just for this government,” Sinclair said at a news conference Tuesday, drawing loud applause from the hundreds of residential school sur-vivors still in the hotel ballroom.
“Our view is that this report is going to have to stand the test of time.”
Sinclair said Canadians shouldn’t just judge the impact of the commission’s report today or tomorrow, “they should also be looking at this report in the future and using it to guide their activ-ities in the future.”
Whether that’s enough to get Harper and his government off the immediate hook in the five months remaining before an Octo-ber federal election may in large
measure be a function of public reaction. The prime minister told the House of Commons that his government has already moved on First Nations issues, citing training programs announced in the most recent budget and “vast amounts of money” provided for education reform, post-sec-ondary scholarships, and health investments.
“It was this government that for the first time in Canadian hist-ory recognized the full extent of the damage done by residential schools, not just the destruction of communities and families, and the abuse, but also the loss of life in many cases,” Harper said in the daily question period.
The three commissioners of the Truth and Reconciliation project clearly have a different perspective.
In the days leading up to Tues-day’s report release and today’s closing ceremonies, it was repeat-edly stressed that the time for words and apologies is past. Edu-cation will be part of reconcilia-tion, but action is requried too.
“Leadership is the main area that we think can be implemented right away,” Sinclair said Tuesday, while noting there’s a “practicality element” to implementing some recommendations immediately.
THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Low oil prices may be putting a few extra dollars in the pockets of Canadians, but record debt levels have us taking a con-servative approach to spending, a new report says.
The review by market intelli-gence agency Mintel, released Wednesday, found Canadians are focused on paying off debts and making cutbacks when it comes to their finances.
“There is a glimmer of hope, however, with consumers still looking to treat themselves to long- and short-term rewards, creating a mood of sensible spending for 2015,” said Carol Wong-Li, senior lifestyle analyst at Mintel.
“We’re predicting food-related categories like dining out and gro-ceries will experience reasonable growth this year.”
Nonetheless, paying down debt was the top response when those surveyed were asked where their extra money was being spent. Thirty-four per cent listing it as an option.
Other popular answers included long vacations, dining out and “small extras” for family members.
The report also found nearly a third of Canadians expected to spend more on food at home.
Mintel noted that Canadian consumer spending rose to $1.084 trillion in 2014, up 4.7 per cent from 2013.
The report said housing was the biggest category at about 25 per cent of all Canadian consumer spending, followed by transporta-tion and personal finance expendi-tures including savings, invest-ments and insurance.
Total Canadian consumer spend-ing is forecasted to grow by 4.7 per cent over the next five years and top $1.2 trillion in 2019.

Active anthrax sent to dozens of locationsROBERT BURNS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — At least 51 laboratories in 17 states and three foreign countries received potentially live anthrax spores from the U.S. Defence Depart-ment over the past decade, and the number is likely to grow, Pentagon officials said Wednesday.
The scope of the problem remains unclear, but Deputy Defence Secretary Robert Work told a news conference that the problem poses little risk to pub-lic health because the suspect anthrax was transported in very low concentrations.
Work said no individuals are known to have been infected with anthrax as a result of the mistaken shipments.
He said the errors at the ori-ginating Army laboratory at Dugway Proving Ground in Utah were at least two-fold: a failure to fully inactivate, or kill, anthrax spores through radiation, and a failure to con-firm through testing that the inactivation worked properly before packaging and shipping the samples. As recently as last Friday the Pentagon said live samples may have been sent to 24 labs in 11 states.
On Wednesday, Work said the number of labs had risen to 51.
“This number may rise,” he said, as other batches of anthrax at four Defence Department labs are tested. The Centers for Dis-ease Control and Prevention is leading an investigation of the matter.
Last Friday, Work ordered a comprehensive review of labora-tory procedures associated with killing live anthrax for shipment to labs for research and other purposes, including for calibrat-ing biological threat sensors such as those used by a number of federal government agencies, including the Pentagon.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)Understand what is happen-ing with an associate you see on a daily basis. You might be surprised by a change in what is going on in this person’s life. Your ability to adjust will be tested. Let go of a need to control how things play out. Tonight: Think “weekend.”
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)How you handle a matter involv-ing a child or loved one could be very important. Try to elimi-nate your side of any games. Everyone will be happier as a result. You might be more in tune with a situation than you realize. Tonight: Add a spark of wildness.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)You might be in a situation where you feel pressured to make certain statements. Don’t allow someone to coax you into doing anything. Understand what needs to happen with a child or family member. You
probably will have to make a major adjustment. Tonight: Play it easy.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)You seem to be very tired and withdrawn. How you see a situ-ation could change radically given some time, sleep and per-haps someone else’s powerful argument. You might be push-ing yourself too hard; be careful. Be aware of what is happening. Tonight: Hang out with a buddy.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Keep your eye on a money mat-ter. The other party involved could have some strong feelings to share. Confusion surrounds a domestic matter as well. Try to clear up one situation at a time. You might have to make a major change. Tonight: Fun doesn’t need to cost you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)You will be very difficult to stop. You might want to talk about a situation more openly than you have in the past, as it could affect you today. Use care with a family member who tends to take out his or her anger on you. Stay clear of this person’s issues. Tonight: All smiles.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)Surprises naturally surround you, no matter what you do. Relax and try not to put so much emphasis on your thoughts. You will see a per-sonal matter differently in a few days. Know that everything is changeable -- even your judg-ment. Tonight: Not to be found.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) What you believe you need could be very different from what you actually need. In the process of pursuing a long-term desire, you might discover that you have changed your mind. Stop and review this goal before proceeding. Tonight: Where your friends are.

RCMP ‘toxic to women,’ says lawyer in class-action caseGEMMA KARSTENS-SMITH THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — A lawyer argu-ing for a class-action lawsuit against the RCMP says the cases of hundreds of female employees alleging the force discriminated against them must be considered together.
David Klein said the RCMP is toxic to women and has been for a number of years.
“Day after day, week after week, year after year, they were subjected to degradation, humiliation, and demoralizing comments and behaviour. Com-ments and behaviour that were
not adequately addressed by management,” he said Monday outside B.C. Supreme Court.
Klein is arguing this week that the complaints of 363 female RCMP employees should move forward collectively because that would provide a full picture of a
systemic problem.“This is conduct that occurs
over months or years, by mul-tiple perpetrators, that’s ignored by management at multiple locations,” he said of the women. Two thirds of them still work for the force.
No dollar figure has been attached to the case, but Klein said that with hundreds of cases involved, a judgment could be in the “many millions of dollars.”
The RCMP has taken small steps to address harassment on the force since the suit was ori-ginally filed in 2012, Klein said. But he believes there’s more to be done.
“They at least pay lip service to taking the problem seriously, but they’re not taking the women seriously.
“And until they take the women seriously, until they take those claims seriously, the problem will not be solved.”
The hearing began three years after for Nanaimo RCMP officer Janet Merlo came forward with allegations about discrimination she experienced throughout her career, including lewd comments and actions from her male col-leagues. sMerlo said it’s time for the courts and the public to hear not only her story, but the stories of other women who’ve worked
for the force across Canada.“I think it’s time the organiza-
tion changed, changed for every-body,” Merlo said. “It’s gone on far too long and there’s been too many lives destroyed, and still being destroyed because there’s a lot of members who are still active. So that tells me that not a lot’s being done to make it right.”
The hearing is scheduled for five days, but a decision is not expected for several months.
“They at least pay lip service to taking the problem seriously, but they’re not taking the women seriously.”David Klein, lawyer
Alexis Tsipras heads to Brussels for key showdown over budget reforms
Greek PM hopes to sway ELENA BECATOROS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATHENS, Greece — Greece’s prime minister headed for a showdown with key creditors on Wednesday in Brussels, where each side would present propos-als to reach a deal that might unlock bailout loans and save the country from looming financial disaster.
The European Union’s exec-utive Commission dampened hopes of a quick breakthrough, however, even though Greece is running out of cash and faces debt repayments as soon as Friday.
Ahead of his meeting with Commission head Jean-Claude Juncker, Alexis Tsipras stressed the need for compromise.
“I will go to . . . explain to him that today more than ever it is necessary for the (creditor) institutions and mainly for the political leadership of Europe to sign up to realism,” Tsipras said before leaving for Brussels.
Greece has been negotiating for four months with its credit-ors over what budget reforms it should make to get the 7.2 billion euros ($8.1 billion) in loans that are left over in its bailout fund. Wednesday’s meetings are part of a string of high-level diplo-matic efforts to bring the negoti-ations to a successful end.
The eurozone’s top financial official, Jeroen Dijsselbloem, was also heading to Brussels for the meeting, while Tsipras, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and
French President Francois Hol-lande were expected to hold a teleconference during the day.
Meanwhile, the three institu-tions overseeing Greece’s bailout — the International Monetary Fund, European Central Bank and European Commission — were to present Tsipras with their own proposal, German
finance ministry spokesman Martin Jaeger said.
Speaking before leaving for Brussels, Tsipras said he had not yet received any document.
News of the Brussels trip was enough to encourage investors in Greece, where the main stock index closed up 4.1 per cent.
Time is pressing. Greece must
repay 1.6 billion euros to the IMF this month alone. The first installment of just over 300 mil-lion euros is due Friday, with other installments on June 12, 16 and 19. Although Athens insists it intends to repay its debts, it is unclear how much longer it will be able to do so without outside help.

IRP party expected to retain top spotTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MEXICO CITY — Mexico’s rul-ing Institutional Revolutionary Party appears poised to retain its leading position in Congress, but may lose some governor seats in Sunday’s elections.
The last polls to be released before Sunday’s midterm elec-tions show surprisingly resilient support for the ruling party known as the PRI, despite Mex-icans’ general dissatisfaction with politics and a lacklustre economy. A poll by the GEA-ISA companies suggests the PRI would get about 27 per cent of votes for the lower house of Con-gress, well ahead of its closest competitor, the conservative National Action Party, at 21 per cent. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percent-age points.
Findings in the same poll nevertheless showed that 67 per cent of the 1,100 people inter-viewed were dissatisfied with the way Mexico’s democracy is work-ing, and a general lack of trust in political parties. The PRI may be benefiting from a slight uptick in perceptions of the economy’s performance. GDP grew by 2.5 per cent in the first quarter of 2015.
Reporter has new court date NASSER KARIMI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TEHRAN, Iran — Detained Washington Post correspond-ent Jason Rezaian will face the second day of his closed-door espionage trial on Monday, Iran’s semi-official ISNA news agency reported Wednesday.
The ISNA report quoted Rezaian’s lawyer, Leila Ahsan, as saying the hearing would be held next week. Ahsan did not immediately return calls from The Associated Press on Wednes-day, which was a public holiday in Iran.
Rezaian, the Post’s 39-year-old bureau chief, had his first closed-door hearing in May 26 in a
Revolutionary Court on charges including espionage and propa-ganda against the Islamic Repub-lic. U.S. officials, the Post and rights groups have criticized his trial, which comes as Iran nego-tiates with world powers over its contested nuclear program.
The Post has said Rezaian faces 10 to 20 years in prison if con-victed. He already has been held over 300 days.
Rezaian, his wife, Yeganeh Salehi, and two photojournal-ists were detained on July 22 in Tehran. All were later released except Rezaian, a dual U.S.-Iran-ian citizen who was born and spent most of his life in the United States.
