The Gertrude Street land brings a long history, including years of housing the Tidebrook Hotel.

The property’s owner finally cleared up the balance in February with inter- est, said Ruttan. “There’s some safety issues that we’re going to take care of in terms of some of the cement structures on that property,” he added. “There’s not a lot of work necessary.” One element of the property Ruttan has pledged not to remove is a large tree. “It’s certainly one of biggest sequoias in the Valley, so we definitely want to make sure that is preserved,” he said.

City buys old Tidebrook Hotel land ERIC PLUMMER ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

After fires, a forced demo-lition and nearly $50,000 in outstanding municipal taxes, the city has acquired the for-mer Tidebrook Hotel property with hopes of making it a link between Victoria Quay and Rogers Creek Park.

On Tuesday council announced the purchase of 4356 Gertrude St. for $195,000 after the deal was completed Monday. With the acquisi-tion the city now owns a long expanse of land along Rogers Creek, extending from the Rog-ers Creek Park to the Victoria Quay by the Somass River.

In a release on Tuesday, the

city stated that the purchase of the old Tidebrook land will help move forward plans to enhance Port Alberni’s waterfront with

a cycling and walking trail from Victoria Quay to Rogers Creek Park.

“It’s potentially something we can add to the Rogers Creek parkland,” said Mayor Mike Ruttan of the recently acquired property. “It’s a very import-ant piece to connect the Vic-toria Quay to Gertrude Street along the north side of Rogers Creek.”

The land is currently zoned for commercial use, and while the city mentioned a waterfront trail in the release Ruttan noted that council has not determined if a change in the property’s designation will be necessary.

“It’s an option to see what we can do in terms of the commer-

cial opportunities at that prop-erty,” he said.

The Gertrude Street land brings a long history, including years of housing the Tidebrook Hotel. After sitting vacant for years a fire destroyed much of the building in 2012, followed by another blaze in June 2013 – an incident that police and the fire department suspect was caused by a person. What remained of the structure was deemed a public hazard, leading the city to force its demolition in September 2013, charging a tear-down bill of over $20,000 to former owner Jack Purdy.

This fee went unpaid, and including back taxes owed to

the city the property’s munici-pal dues amounted to $44,529 last September. The property’s owner finally cleared up the balance in February with inter-est, said Ruttan.

“There’s some safety issues that we’re going to take care of in terms of some of the cement structures on that property,” he added. “There’s not a lot of work necessary.”

One element of the property Ruttan has pledged not to remove is a large tree.

“It’s certainly one of biggest sequoias in the Valley, so we definitely want to make sure that is preserved,” he said.

Gas pipeline for Island proposedSteelhead LNG announces agreement with U.S. company to cross Salish Sea

MARTIN WISSMATH ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

The first phase of a natural gas pipeline that could eventually service a facility south of Port Alberni was announced Tuesday.

Steelhead LNG published an agreement with a pipeline con-struction company to construct the Island Gas Connector Pro-ject, a proposed natural gas pipe-line to transport natural gas to Vancouver Island for shipment to markets in Asia. Steelhead is planning the development of two liquefied natural gas facilities on the Island, including a major project with the Huu-ay-aht First Nations at Sarita Bay, about 75 kilometres southwest of Port Alberni.

Steelhead announced last month a proposal to construct an off-shore LNG facility with the Malahat Nation, which would be located on the First Nation’s recently acquired property south of Miller Bay, about 40 kilo-metres north of Victoria on the Saanich Arm. The floating lique-faction and export facility would be moored to the shoreline, sup-ported by minor infrastructure on land.

The Island Gas Connector, to be constructed by Williams, a U.S.-based energy infrastructure com-pany, would transport natural gas 53 kilometres from the Can-ada–U.S. border at Sumas, Wash. (south of Abbotsford) to Cherry Point on the Washington coast south of Birch Bay. From there it would continue underneath the Salish Sea another 75 kilometres directly to the proposed Malahat LNG facility on the Island.

While the Island Gas Connector would be constructed to supply only the Malahat LNG facility, it would be designed to meet the potential capacity to service both the Malahat and Sarita Bay facilities, according to Steelhead. The Malahat floating facility would be designed to ship a maximum capacity of six mil-lion tonnes of LNG per year; the much larger land-based Sarita Bay terminal would ship 24 mil-lion tonnes per year.

In order to service the pro-posed facility at Sarita Bay, another pipeline would need to be constructed across Vancou-ver Island, Steelhead noted in a news release. This second pipe-line phase would be “designed, owned and operated by a separ-ate Canadian entity and subject to its own regulatory approval process,” the company stated.

Nigel Kuzemko, CEO of Steel-head LNG, said the Island Gas Connector and Malahat projects would take two years for regu-latory approval, and estimated

that they could be operational by 2021. That would make it pos-sible to start a project at Sarita Bay by about 2023, he said. Other projects may be proposed in the future.

“We see it as an integrated . . . step by step approach,” said Kuzemko. “The first step might be Malahat, second step could be Sarita, third step may be an expansion of Malahat. There could be lots of different choices there as you move forward.”

Once the pipeline is in place, it improves the chances for both the Malahat and Sarita Bay pro-jects, Kuzemko said.

Although it complicates the regulatory process to operate in two different countries, the Washington State route was chosen for environmental rea-sons, Kuzemko said. The Cherry Point location is away from any major rivers, such as the Fraser River in Metro Vancouver.

“The Fraser River pushes a lot of sediment out into the Salish Sea,” said Kuzemko. “It creates a bank of sediment, which is quite unstable as you can imagine. So the idea of putting a pipeline along that or through that is fraught with concerns from a technical point of view.”

The farther away from the Fraser, the more stable the sub-sea would be, he said. It’s also a somewhat shorter distance from Cherry Point compared with the Lower Mainland.

At this point in time there are no cost estimates for the Island Gas Connector, Kuzemko said.

“We’re just at the beginning of the process,” Kuzemko said, add-ing that Steelhead LNG works with First Nations as early as possible. The Sarita Bay project announced last year was esti-mated to cost about $30 billion.

WILDLIFE

Bears are hungry; making their way to city streets and homes

KRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

Bears are getting hungry and making their way into the city for food.

Although a common sight and bears often appear tame, they are still wild animals, warns the B.C. Ministry of Environment.

According to the government website, the most common cause of human and bear con-flict is the animal’s easy access to food. As a result, every year, hundreds of these bears are destroyed.

Residents are being asked to take precautions to prevent encounters with wildlife, par-ticularly young children and pets.

The city recently agreed to coordinate training for bylaw enforcement through the con-servation officer.

Awareness efforts and bylaw enforcement training will be coordinated with conservation officer, Brittany Mueller.

Last month the city also agreed to provide assistance to the Alberni Valley Gleaning Program through financial aid and in-kind donations, includ-ing the use of a city vehicle. The Program has been success-ful with encouraging mainten-ance of fruit trees with the help of volunteers.

“The program certainly helps deter the bears,” said Heather Shobe, member of the Alberni Valley Transition Town Society.

Shobe said fruit is the second highest bear attractant after garbage.

“Most people who call us cite problem bears as their reason for calling,” she said.

The purpose of the program is to make the most out of abundant fruit on local trees. Volunteers are assigned to homeowners wanting their trees picked and the two share two-

thirds of the harvest, with the rest benefiting charities.

“Homeowners definitely need to harvest fruit before it over-ripens and falls,” Shobe advised.

Shobe said they have yet to work in conjunction with the city and its offer of trans-porting boxes of fruit, equip-ment and volunteers. The prob-lem is a lack of manpower as city staff are required to drive on a volunteer basis.

“Anytime that becomes avail-able we [are] able to work phys-ically with the city,” Shobe said.

Homeowners can also watch for Bear Smart information in this month’s utility bills.

Canal Beach re-opens ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

After it was closed as a health precaution last month, Canal Beach has been cleared for swimmers.

Island Health updated its beach sampling results on Tuesday and gave each of the Canal Beach’s four testing sites the green light.

The health authority announced on July 31 that the beach could be unsafe for swimming after high levels of enterococci bacteria were measured near the Canal Beach pier. Enterococci levels dropped from a high of 600 par-ticles per 100 millilitres, meas-ured on July 27, to just 10 par-ticles on Aug. 25. Safe levels are considered to be 35 particles per 100 ml or lower.

Enterococci can cause sick-ness such as urinary tract infections. Some species of the bacteria are normally found in human intestines.

‘Multiple choice’ election could bring a new solution

Conservative talking-points are merely fear-mongering: that vot-ing for the anyone but PM Harp-er’s government will drive Canada into further recession.

All I hear Conservatives do is criticize their opponents’ policy plans to reduce corporate tax-breaks, increase income taxes for the wealthy, and legislate guaran-teed annual incomes for ALL Can-adians, supported by mandated liveable minimum wages of $15/hour.

In other words: to share Canada’s wealth.

Sounds good to me.Contrary to what’s increasingly

befallen Canada within the last 40 years: too many citizens stretched between more than one part-time job to make ends meet, work-ing families and their children increasingly relying on foodbanks, and child poverty – in a wealthy country like Canada?! – still not solved despite promises years ago.

And that’s just for starters.Nobody could do any worse, and

there’s every chance a complete change might be entirely for the better.

As a 62-year-old who’s seen noth-ing but Conservative and Liberal governments come and go, I don’t

mean to hand out any backhanded compliments, but must ask: how much more harm could a federal NDP government do?!

Or, put the other way around: would a federal NDP government be any worse than generations of Liberals and Conservatives in power? Just because the NDP have never led a federal government, doesn’t mean they are unable; just unproven, yet.

I seem to remember, writing multiple-choice exams, you had to choose the best answer which, somehow, seems akin to voting in a “multiple-choice election.”

Here’s hoping Canada passes the test.

Favouritism keeps the Mars bomber grounded

What a crazy upside-down gov-ernment we have in B.C. Christy Clark says that all available resources are being used on the forest fires. If that is true why is the Martin Mars water bomber sitting on Sproat Lake doing nothing.

People in the know, know it is all political and that there has been some favouritism going on.

It must be so because there could be no other reason the plane is not flying. If people say it is too old know nothing about all the upgrades this plane has had done to it.

Too expensive they say. Well I suggest you look at the cost fac-tor and compare it to those little pea-shooter planes they have now and you will see the Mars is right there cost-wise.

People in government are not looking at the facts and turn half truths around to favour their agenda. Let’s every one get on board and get this plane in the air again.

Brian DayholosPort Alberni

In the long run, elected MPs must do their jobs

The ‘me-first-ism’ leading to almost complete collapse of the Mulroney Conservatives; the Liberal shenanigans exposed by the Gomery Inquiry; and now the squirming refusal of the prime minister to answer questions about that $90,000 cheque; all point to a long-running deterior-ation of parliamentary ethics.

However, I fear this National Parliamentary Coalition would inevitably be infiltrated and over-

whelmed by the same big finan-cial and business lobbies that now dominate the party system.

How could they be kept out? Their personal and corporate party donations already com-mand government compliance, as the unmandated free trade deals, the enormous taxpayer-funded bank bailouts, and the “privatize everything” movements testify.

Now, the prime minister’s stated intention is to totally eliminate all public funding of parties, enabling wealthy donours to sim-ply buy the policies they want. It is very clear which way the wind is blowing.

The real weakness of parlia-ment and legislatures lies in the calibre of the elected MPs and MLAs. If status, pay and pensions are their chief motivation, the incipient fascism now visible will become locked in. Caucus control is already at a dangerous level and the crying need is for a par-liament which thinks, considers and expresses a great deal more outspoken independence than we see today.

In the long run, it is the elected MPs who must do the job they are elected to do and not just be tame ‘yes’ men.

Property deal positive for public access Asale price of $195,000 for a

piece of land that has sat vacant for several years

might not seem like a great deal, but with the recent acquisition of the former home of the Tide-brook Hotel the city ends a leg-acy of municipal nuisance – with the possibility of developing something of use to the public.

The city announced the acqui-sition of the large property at the corner of Gertrude and Pem-berton Road this week, ending years of problems with the land’s former owner, Jack Purdy.

A few highlights of the prop-erty’s history over recent years include fires in 2012 and in 2013 to the empty Tidebrook Hotel, the forced teardown of the building a few months after the last fire due to public safety con-cerns, and almost $50,000 worth

of back taxes and unpaid demoli-tion fees that had amassed by the end of last year.

The property was sold in a tax sale, which a municipality can impose on land if two years of unpaid levies are outstanding, but the owner finally settled the dues this year.

As these disputes and munici-pal headaches have continued, the grass has grown over the cement foundation of the Tide-brook Hotel, while an enormous sequoia tree spreads its branches over the unused space two blocks east of the waterfront.

Now that the land is public property the sequoia and its sur-rounding lots can be put to the best use for residents – at least that’s the message coming from the city with the acquisition.

A press release announcing this

development on Tuesday cited the Waterfront North Study, an ambitious long-term plan for the five-kilometre stretch of shore-line from the Catalyst Paper property to the Paper Mill Dam Park.

Commissioned by the city, Port Alberni Port Authority, Hupacasath First Nation and Tseshaht First Nation, this study presents a visionary document on the potential for Port Alber-ni’s waterfront, including bring-ing shops, markets, pubs, restau-rants, cafés and accommodation to the area.

The Waterfront North Study states that although the forest-ry industry has been in decline since the 1970s, it remains the “foremost” economic driver in the Alberni Valley.

A more diversified economy

would make the community sustainable into the future, notes the document.

“Additional attractions and destinations, including the waterfront, are needed to create a critical mass that supports tourism,” states the study.

As Port Alberni transitions into the realities of the 21st cen-tury, the best use of its water-front has become one of the lar-gest riddles facing the town.

The Waterfront North Study stresses the importance of mak-ing the northern stretch of the city’s shoreline available for public enjoyment, but the future of the southern end of Port Alberni’s waterfront is currently more hazy.

In 2013 one third of the large stretch that was formerly the home of the Alberni Plywood

mill was converted into Canal Beach, yet the remainder of the municipally owned prop-erty lies in limbo as council awaits development proposals. An ambitious lease with the port authority has yielded no improvements over its first year, which fails the agreement’s conditions.

Over the summer the city’s elected officials postponed a decision to cancel the lease with the hope that something might arise to return the land to a working waterfront as it was in the past.

This fall will be a critical period for the land as elected representatives weigh the value of its future and the possibil-ities of opening up more of Port Alberni’s majestic waterfront for public use.

You may want to cut back on what goes to a spouse or child after you die – or cut them out of your will altogether.Often the reasons are personal. In one court case, a son’s illegal marijuana growing saddled his

mother with a court conviction, and he also tried to have her committed. Or the reasons may be cultural. Some cultures view a married-off daughter as the sole responsibility of her husband.But no matter the reasons, careful estate planning is critical, because some family members

can challenge your will after your death.Under BC’s Wills, Estates and Succession Act (WESA), your will must make adequate provision

for the proper maintenance and support of your spouse and children. An unhappy spouse (in-cluding a common-law spouse) or child (including an adopted child) can ask the court to change your will. The court can then order what it thinks is “adequate, just and equitable,” if it agrees the will doesn’t adequately provide for them. Tataryn is the leading case on this. Alex favoured Edward over his other son, John. He worried

that if he gave anything outright to Mary, his wife of 43 years, it would end up with John. So his will let Mary live in the family home for life and gave her income from a trust. Upon her death, his will left everything to Edward. John was cut out of the will.Mary and John went to court, and in 1994 the Supreme Court of Canada changed the will.

Alex’s wife got ownership of the house and the rest of his estate (after gifts of $10,000 to John and Edward). Some rental income also went to her, and upon her death, the rental property would go one-third to John and two-thirds to Edward.In deciding on adequate provision, the court said that both the legal and moral duties of the

will-maker must be met. If the estate is big enough, and there’s no good reason for cutting out a child, then, morally, an independent adult child should get something.Since Tataryn, estate lawsuits in BC have increased.In one, two adult daughters successfully challenged their mother’s will. She left behind an

estate worth $550,000. In line with her native Indo-Fijian culture, the lion’s share went to her sons (her daughters got only $10,000 each). The BC Supreme Court changed the will so the two plaintiff daughters each got one-fi fth of her contested estate, and the remaining three-fi fths was shared equally between the two sons. The judge said: “In modern Canada, where the rights of the individual and equality are protected by law, the norm is for daughters to have the same expectations as sons when it comes to sharing in their parents’ estates.”In another case, the court changed the will so a gay son (treated unequally) received the same

inheritance as his two heterosexual brothers.Whether you can disinherit or reduce the share of your spouse or child depends on the situa-

tion, but options exist. Your lawyer can help you carry out your wishes.

Alberni local competes in 50-kilometre ‘ultimate test of mental and physical endurance’ in Squamish

Cyclist takes on an ultra-marathonKRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

Lee Blais recently took on a new challenge by completing a tough 50 km mountain race on foot.

The cyclist, who has been com-peting in various bike races since the 1990s, said he has never been a runner, but signed up for the Squamish 50.

The race attracted seasoned athletes on a route that was mostly single-track filled with hills and very little flat sections.

Racers had a choice of a 23 kilo-metres, 50-km, 50-mile or back-to-back 50-mile and 50-km races over two days on Aug. 22 and 23.

“I just started running last fall,” Blais said.

“A friend convinced me to do this.

“I thought it would be a fun adventure.”

It ended up being a solo adven-ture because that same friend pulled out from the race before-hand with an injury. Blais went on his own for more than eight hours of physical and mental games.

He met with friends from the cycling community there who were surprised to see him race off the bike.

“They couldn’t believe I was there as a runner,” he said.

Blais has never given cycling that distance on trails or pave-ment a second thought, but did not realize how taxing it would be to run it.

“It was the ultimate test of mental and physical endurance,” he said.

“Before that, the most I had run was about 30 kilometres on the easy, flat Log Train Trail.”

Blais said the route was rocky, full of roots and took him along shelves of rock on which he had to walk down sideways.

“I learned a lot,” he said. “I was good at uphills and was

passing people but I probably shouldn’t have gone out that hard.”

Blais said that although he had to walk the majority of the final 15 km, at no point did he consid-er quitting.

His legs were heavy and his IT bands seizing, but the competi-

tion was with himself. He said the most difficult part

was the last five kilometres on pavement heading into down-town Squamish.

“Everyone was cheering and I just wanted it to end,” he said. “Mostly going through my mind was that I never wanted to run again in my entire life.”

That changed as he ran through the finish line, however.

“Right after I started thinking if I should do the 50 mile route next year or sign up for the 50 km again and try to get on the podium,” he said.

For now, Blais intends to train for the cyclo-cross season and has signed up for the world championships in Victoria in November. He is inspired to host similar large events in Port Alberni.

“I would love to hold a signa-ture event and expand tourism here,” he said.

He continues to face challenges of land accessibility but hopes to one day be able to showcase the many trails of the Valley to a wider audience.

Qualicum player goes proTYSON TAYLOR PARKSVILLE QUALICUM BEACH NEWS

After wrapping up a successful career at Utah Valley University, Qualicum Beach’s Brayden Erik-sen is going all in, making the jump into the world of profes-sional golf.

Eriksen, who recently compet-ed in both the B.C. amateur and Canadian amateur tournaments, posted respectable scores and finished in the top 15 in both tournaments.

At the B.C. amateur, he finished tied for 14th and then went on to finish tied for 11th at the Can-adian amateur tournament.

“I thought those tournaments went well,” Eriksen said. “Being able to make the cut in both of those tournaments and then go on to finish where I did, that real-ly sort of showed me that this is definitely something I want to be doing.”

“I’ve been thinking about going pro for a few years now and hav-ing played the way I did in uni-versity the last two years sort of confirmed that, then these tour-naments really made me realize it’s the right thing to do.”

Spending four years at Utah Valley University and earning his bachelor’s degree in business, Eriksen’s last two seasons saw his score on the course drop dras-tically, cutting four strokes off his game.

He finished his senior year with

a 72.8 average score per round, including a season best 67. He had six top-10 finishes in his sen-ior year, with four coming in the top five.

“It was a lot of fun,” Eriksen said. “I never won a tournament but being right there in all of those tournaments, being within one or two shots felt good.

Hopefully at the next level I’ll be able to close it out and win some tournaments. I played in a lot of great tournaments at Utah Valley and it really helped me get to where I am right now.”

With plenty of professional tours out there, Eriksen and his management team will be look-ing into which route would be the best to take.

While some tournaments have the big purses for top finishers, there are other tournaments out there that could lead to an oppor-tunity to earn a tour card for other tournaments.

“We’re looking at a lot of options,” Eriksen said. “There’s so many tournaments out there but we want to find one that’s not going to give you a huge purse if you win, because those ones usually just have the money for the top four or five guys.”

“We’re looking at tournaments that are more spread out in terms of the earnings, as well as tournaments to give you a shot at earning a tour card or moving up to the next level to get on a tour.”

Pheasant Glen Golf Club will be hosting a fundraiser/sponsor-ship tournament for Eriksen on Saturday, September 19.

Entry fees are $150 per player or $500 for a team of four. Cost includes a cart, 18 holes of golf, dinner and prizes.

Anyone looking for more information or to sign up for the tournament can contact Gord Melissa at Pheasant Glen at 250-752-8786, or to get in touch with Brayden about potential sponsor-ships, e-mail him at [email protected].

Hawkins healthy, ready for LionsJOSHUA CLIPPERTON THE CANADIAN PRESS

SURREY — Lavelle Hawkins couldn’t believe his luck.

The veteran receiver with the B.C. Lions was going through the paces on the very first day of his first CFL training camp this spring when disaster struck.

Hawkins suffered a broken arm during a drill, putting the latest chapter of his football career on hold before it had a chance to get off the ground.

“I had my mojo back,” the native of Stockton, Calif., recalled Tuesday. “The first day I was like ... ’Are you serious?”’

The Lions placed Hawkins, who played for the Tennessee Titans from 2008 to 2012 prior to bouncing between four NFL teams over the next two seasons, on the six-game injured list.

The 29-year-old with a distinct-ive scar on his left forearm from

the break was moved to the one-game injured list last month and will finally make his B.C. debut on Thursday when the Lions (3-5) visit the Montreal Alouettes (4-5).

“I’m excited to get out there with the fellas, just to get out there and get involved,” said Hawkins, who caught 71 passes for 771 yards and one touchdown during his five years with the Titans. “These guys have been working their butts off. I’m just happy to be able to come out and help.”

A Lions’ offence that has strug-gled for much of the season — it ranks second last in yards per game and third last in passing yards — needs all the help it can get.

Running back Andrew Harris has been one of the lone bright spots, but opponents have keyed on him during two straight loss-

es, including a 23-13 home defeat to Montreal on Aug. 20.

The Lions are coming off a bye week and have made a couple of moves to try to spark their attack and stretch defences, including the release of tight end A.C. Leonard, the promotion of wide receiver Bryan Burnham to the first team and activating Hawkins.

“It marks a little bit of a change of philosophy for us,” said quarterback Travis Lulay. “We want to be more product-ive on offence and add a couple elements that haven’t been on the roster for us that we think have a chance to make a positive difference.”

Hawkins stayed with the Lions during most of his injury rehabilitation and said it will take more than just him to right what has been an up-and-down first eight games for B.C.

Goins leads Blue Jays to a 5-3 win JOHN CHIDLEY-HILL THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Ryan Goins can barely remember the biggest moment of his career.

Goins hit a two-run home run in the 10th inning to lift the Toronto Blue Jays to a 5-3 win over the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday night.

“It’s unbelievable. Can’t even put it into words. Best feeling of my career so far,” said Goins. “I’d be lying if I didn’t say I blacked out. I don’t even know what happened, honestly. It was an unbelievable feeling.”

Edwin Encarnacion had an RBI sacrifice fly in the first inning for Toronto (75-57), but was held hitless for the rest of the game to end his 26-game hitting streak.

Encarnacion’s streak was the second longest in Blue Jays history, behind Shawn Green’s 28-game roll in 1999.

Marco Estrada (11-8) pitched seven innings, striking out two

but only allowing five hits. He was relieved by Aaron Sanchez, Roberto Osuna, Brett Cecil and Mark Lowe.

Osuna blew a save opportunity in the ninth inning, letting Cleve-land tie the game 3-3. Lowe was the pitcher of record when Goins hit his home run, earning the win after picking up one out in the top of the 10th inning.

Catcher Dioner Navarro led off the 10th inning with a single

to right field. After Kevin Pillar flied out to centre field, Goins came to the plate.

Goins put a 1-0 breaking ball from Cleveland reliever Brian Shaw over the right-field wall and was mobbed by his team-mates at home plate while the crowd loudly cheered. Goins had shaving cream rubbed in his face and Gatorade dumped on his head after the home run. He said in the clubhouse his throat was stinging from his jersey being ripped off by an over-enthusias-tic teammate.

When asked by reporters what he was thinking during the at bat, Goins laughed and said “I’ll tell you what’s not on my mind, is a walk-off homer.”

Estrada was in the clubhouse getting post-game treatment on his throwing arm when he heard the celebratory horns and erup-tion of the crowd.

“It was incredible to see,” said Estrada, who caught the replay

on TV. “I wish I would’ve seen it live but I was still doing my shoulder stuff.

“He had a heckuva day today. Obviously the last swing he took was incredible, but the defensive plays he made behind me helped me out a lot.”

Yan Gomes had a pair of home runs as Cleveland (64-67) had its six-game win streak snapped. Michael Brantley had a homer of his own in the fourth inning.

Cody Anderson (2-3) gave up two runs and three hits, with two strikeouts over six innings. Ryan Webb allowed a go-ahead run in the seventh and Jeff Manship retired three straight batters in the eighth. Shaw allowed Goins’s homer after an inning and a third of work.

Toronto got to Anderson in the first inning, as Encarnacion’s sacrifice fly to deep centre field gave Josh Donaldson enough time to run home from third base for a 1-0 lead.

Jackson visits with SeahawksTIM BOOTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

After being released by the Buf-falo Bills, running back Fred Jack-son is looking for an opportunity to reunite with former teammate Marshawn Lynch in Seattle.

Jackson travelled to Seattle to meet with the Seahawks on Tuesday, but coach Pete Carroll cautioned that no deal has been struck. Carroll said Jackson wouldbe going through a physical.

“This is a visit for us. It’s not a signing,” Carroll said.

“We have tremendous respect for Fred as a player.

“He’s obviously got a wealth of background, he’s tough, he’s sharp, he’s smart, so we need to see where he is right now at 34 years old and see what he looks like.”

Jackson, an eight-year veteran, became a free agent on Monday when the Bills cut the respected team leader and fan favourite.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your determination emerges. You’ll dive into an issue, professionally or personally, that could have ramifications involved. An idea that has been hovering in your mind just might work. You’ll want to make sure everything goes as you would like it to. Tonight: Tell it like it is.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You don’t have to agree with the group, but it would be wise to keep your thoughts to your-self at this point. Others come to you for creative brainstorm-ing. At that point, you might be able to offer your suggestions. Tonight: You smile, and others come toward you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You will attract more of what you want if you can look at a situation and decide how rea-sonable it is to continue on your present path. Make no decisions just yet. Given a few days, you will know exactly what to do. Open up to new possibilities. Tonight: Honor a fast change.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)You gain a different perspec-tive when surrounded by

others. However, some of you might decide to argue each point being presented. If you feel your perspective is that important, then the differences between you and others are worth looking at. Tonight: Hang out.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)Don’t get too set in your ways. Stubbornness does nothing to improve a difficult situa-tion. In fact, power plays need to be avoided right now. Try not to get into the details of a disagreement, especially if you can stay out of the matter alto-gether. Tonight: Pace yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Lady Luck will be with you, as long as you don’t decide to do anything too far-out. Your smile will express confidence and could take you a long way. Brainstorm your way through a problem. Once you gain a better perspective, you’ll come up with a solution. Tonight: Out late.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)You could be on your way to taking a grand leap into the unknown, but you might not even realize it. Note whether you are an emotional thinker. If

you see that tendency, be more aware of your feelings, but opt for logic. Tonight: Take some much-needed personal time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)Your imagination gives you the ability to move forward and make strong decisions. Others see the role your intuitive side plays in your life. Many of them would like to access that same side themselves. Help them do just that. Tonight: Defer to a loved one.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)Actions count. Do what you must, but also clear out errands and calls that you have been postponing. Tap into your resourcefulness once you com-plete these tasks. Spend time with a close friend, even if it is on the phone. Tonight: Make sure you are getting enough exercise.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Reach out to a child or new friend. A quality about this per-son makes you laugh and relax, and his or her presence in your life remains positive. As a result, you will gain a new perspective. Open up to a more spontaneous way of living. Tonight: Be more childlike.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)Remain content, even if a situa-tion around your personal life is not going well or as you would like it to. You can’t have control over this matter, because one or more people are involved. No one has the right to control someone else. Tonight: At home.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Speak your mind, and remain sure of yourself. You could be challenged by others. You will want to respond to questions positively, as this will help you to re-examine your ideas. You’ll want to make sure your position is as strong as possible. Tonight: Hang with a friend.

Lindsay Marie Stellaard (Dee Dee) passed away unexpectedly on August 19 2015. Lindsay is survived by the loves of her life, her precious boys Nathan and Brandon, her beautiful sister Keri (Matt) loving parents John and Jeanne, Grandpa Simon DeWaal (Lil) mother in law Laurie Allen, (Darren) beloved aunties, uncles, cousins, extended family (the Ethiers) and all those whose lives she touched.

Lindsay is most remembered as a gentle and loving soul who couldn't say a bad word about anyone, never judging another human being. Anyone who knew her could not help but love her. Th e amazing connection she had with her boys was a joy to see and her determination to always get back up when she stumbled set an example for the rest of their lives, earning her much respect from others.

Lindsay had an amazing work ethic which shone through in her work as a painter. She inspired many with her strong faith and spirituality. Her love for her God Jehovah and his promise that there will be a wonderful hope for the future was always the driving force in her life. Now our precious girl will sleep until her hope is realized and we will meet again in paradise. (Revelation 21:3,4) Th ere will be a memorial service Sept. 5, 2015 at 1 o'clock at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses 5055 Maebelle Rd. Refreshments to follow. Flowers gratefully declined.

Canada’s recession now offi cial, but experts say June gains indicate it might be shortlivedANDY BLATCHFORD THE CANADIAN PRESS

Canada’s economy hit reverse for the second straight quarter of 2015 — knocking the country backwards into its first technical recession in six years, fresh Statistics Canada data revealed Tuesday.

But the data suggests the reces-sionary dip could, perhaps, already be something of the past.

The federal agency said real gross domestic product contracted at an annual pace of 0.5 per cent in the April-June quarter, which followed a revised decline of 0.8 per cent in the first three months of 2015 from its original estimate of a 0.6 per cent drop.

However, there were positives tucked in the highly anticipated figures that almost immediately echoed on the campaign trail.

The second-quarter drop was only half as steep as a consensus of economists had predicted and there was evidence that the decline had finally bottomed out.

Canada’s GDP climbed in the month of June by 0.5 per cent after shrinking over the first five months.

The last time the economy experi-enced a one-month gain of at least 0.5 per cent was July 2013 when it grew by 0.63 per cent.

That June increase was led by a 3.1 per cent boost in natural resour-

ces extraction — the category’s first gain following seven consecutive months of decline.

“There’s nothing to cheer about in the Canadian GDP numbers, but there’s no reason for any more boo-ing than we’ve already had,” CIBC chief economist Avery Shenfeld said Tuesday.

“The economy is contracting through the first half of the year, but the solid gain in June suggests that we’ll at least get a breather with a return to growth in the third quarter.”

The new batch of data added fuel to the heated, ongoing political debate over how best to respond to the weakened economy as parties

battle for support ahead of the Oct. 19 federal election.

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Ste-phen Harper, whose Conservative party has pinned its re-election hopes on its economic record, tried to highlight the positives in the new data.

“The Canadian economy as a whole is now growing, according to the June figures,” Harper told reporters.

“That is the reality of the situa-tion — it is good news.”

He also reiterated his stay-the-course mantra, insisting the coun-try must ride out external econom-ic and market turbulence whipped up in places like China.

ECONOMY

Page 10: Alberni Valley Times, September 02, 2015

I’VE BEEN THINKING about doing a col-umn on McKinnon’s Dairy for some time and I approached Ken McKinnon from Jowseys for more information. He provided a lot of

information that I have begun to process, during this conversation he mentioned that he had some paintings by Trevor Goodall.

Trevor Goodall was born on October 11, 1903. He moved to Port Alberni in 1911. He was a hard worker who did all of his own farm labour by hand. In 1926 during Christmas he purchased two books, one being a diary which he committed to writing in every morning at 5:30 a.m., a habit he maintained for more than 70 years. Th ese diaries are part of the Alberni Valley Archives. He also had a book published called “Trevor Goodall’s Memories of the Alberni Valley.”

In addition to his passion for farming Trevor worked in the logging industry at the onset of the Second World War. Trevor became an accom-plished artist even though he did not start oil painting until he was in his 50s. He learned un-der skilled painter Guy Roberts, and entered and won fi rst prize in the Arts Council juried show. His paintings have been sold and hung in many businesses and homes over the years. Trevor also committed to donating every third painting to a charitable cause in the Valley. Trevor passed away on December 2, 1998 at the age of 95.

Trevor Goodall has a connection to McKin-non’s dairy. Th e McKinnons bought the dairy from Trevor Goodall in 1940, it was at the farm were Hollies golf course is now and was called Holly Dale Dairy. Th e operation was moved down the road to John Street in 1956. Please share with me your memories of Trevor Goodall, McKinnon’s Dairy and other community memories you would like to share. I know that there is a lot of good information out in our community that is not writ-ten down and could be in danger of being lost. I think it’s important to share stories and encourage conversation especially between diff erent gener-ations. I feel very privileged to have the oppor-tunity to showcase some of the stories that make Port Alberni the great community that it is. Please email me at [email protected] or call me at 250-723-8171 extension 228.

Follow-upI hope you enjoyed the Friday, August 21 issue of the AV Times with the column of Th is Is Th en commemorating the 100th anniversary of Overwaitea Foods. Th is column took a diff erent form as it was a four-page wrap and included some older photos of the Port Alberni Overwaitea stores and photos of the 1930s to 50s, as well as some information on previous employees like George Trotter, Johnny Hastings and others including a chance to win a prize for identifying a mystery shopper. I have included the photo with the unidentifi ed shopper again. I would like to be able to identify the young girl and do a follow-up in a future column. If you know the peope in this photo from 1957 please email me at [email protected] or call me at 250-723-8171 ext. 228.
