KRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

The extremely dry conditions of the forests has caused the Coastal Fire Centre to issue an expansion of the campfire ban. Now in effect, the ban includes all areas in the cen-tre’s jurisdiction.

The centre has seen an increase in the volume of for-est fires to date as compared to last year. In the coastal region of the province, there have been 103 forest fires this year. The ten-year average is 51. Thirty-one of those were caused by lighting, while 72 were human-caused, with the ten-year averages of seven and 44 respectively.

Already on Vancouver Island, there have been 36 forest fires, said Marg Drysdale, fire infor-mation officer with the Coastal Fire Centre. The largest struck Boomerang Lake near Nanaimo on June 20 and burned 3.3 hectares.

“The past two or three sea-sons were slower, and we were fairly quiet on the coast, but that is not the case this year,” Drysdale said.

Drysdale said there has been multiple incidents on the Island but crews have been able to get to them quickly. She said the public’s assistance helps.

“We get calls from the public and can locate a fire quickly and get to it,” she said.

“So if anyone sees smoke or something they are not comfortable with, call it in. The faster we can get to it, the better.”

Drysdale said the risk of lightening-caused fires is unpredictable.

ERIC PLUMMER ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

The demand for B.C. wood to supply Asia’s building industry has caused a dramatic increase in raw log exports from Port Alberni over the last decade – a volume that has far surpassed lumber manufactured in the community’s sawmills.

Since 2006 the amount of raw logs shipped from Port Alberni’s harbour has increased nearly tenfold, growing from the 82,272 to the 783,381 tonnes exported last year, according to figures provided by the Port Alberni Port Authority.

Meanwhile the amount of tim-ber sent for manufacturing else-where has eclipsed the volume of exported lumber cut at local sawmills, which amounted to 76,854 tonnes last year. Ten years ago 84,994 tonnes of manufac-tured lumber was shipped from

Port Alberni, an amount that fell to as low as 18,107 tonnes in 2008 and peaked at 106,543 in 2011.

The trend has continued this year as 29 vessels have departed from the Port Alberni berths loaded with raw logs, while just five shipments of lumber left the harbour.

According to Ken McRae, who

sits on the province’s Timber Export Advisory Committee, local sawmills are unable to compete with foreign bids for logs, an international market dynamic that often means a Chi-nese customer will offer 40 per cent more for Vancouver Island timber than a company operat-ing in the Valley.

“Every stick that goes out of Port Alberni, somebody can bid on that wood,” said McRae.

In 2014 China was largest cus-tomer for raw logs that came through Port Alberni’s harbour, accounting for 63 per cent of the volume exported. Japan received 27 per cent of the logs, while South Korea shipped 10 percent.

The shipping of unmanufac-tured logs now dominates the Alberni Valley’s forestry exports, but the practice still accounts for a small portion of the wood industry elsewhere in B.C. In

2013 log shipments to China were valued at $400 million, compared to the $1.4 billion in lumber sent to the booming Asian country. In the same year $200 million worth of logs went to Japan, while four times that amount of lumber was exported.

After a succession of mill clos-ures and layoffs that affected Port Alberni through the 1980s and 1990s, the forestry industry’s current dynamics have elected officials scratching their heads, wondering why more lumber can’t be cut here. This led to resolutions put forth by the City of Port Alberni and the Alber-ni-Clayoquot Regional District to investigate the public policy issues behind raw log exports on Vancouver Island, an initiative that intends to gather informa-tion from private citizens, indus-try experts, governments and other organizations.

The hope is that this resolution will answer questions beyond a conclusion made by Macauley and Associates Consulting in its Review of the Port Alberni For-est Industry commissioned by the province in 2007.

“In the 1950’s, 60’s, and 70’s the forestry labour force in the Val-ley was one of the highest paid in the country. Today there are fewer trees to cut, reduced pro-cessing capacity and fewer jobs — and the trend is downward,” stated the consultant’s report.

“Our overall conclusion is that the forest industry on the coast has been declining for the past 20 years and that the impact of this decline in the Valley has been particularly marked because of the relative past pros-perity of its forest industry and workers.”

Military convoy makes fi rst-ever West Coast stop

JACKIE CARMICHAEL WESTERLY NEWS

Good news for people who like vintage stuff, cars, or any-thing historical.

The convoy for the Western Command Military Vehicle His-torical Society goes for a sum-mer tour every year, culminat-ing in a stop at the Arlington Air Show in Arlington, Wa.

For the first time ever in its three-decade history, this year’s tour will include West Coast stops – at the Port Alber-ni Legion around noon on Sunday, July 5, at the Uclue-let ANAF on Sunday, July 5 around 4 p.m. or later in the afternoon, and at the Tofino Legion on Monday, July 6 at about noon.

Convoy coordinator John Hawthorne said the group loves visiting smaller commun-ities, and often finds an even warmer welcome there than in

bigger cities.Yes, the 12 1940’s vintage vehi-

cles will take on Sutton Pass and the twisting Kennedy Lake portion of Highway 4.

“We’ve gone through passes before – it may be a bit slow, because these are old trucks,” Hawthorne said.

The troop has been there and driven that – they drove the Alaska Highway to Fairbank and back for the 70th anniver-sary of that long road.

Hawthorne is a Canadian

Army “lifer,” and after a mil-itary career, he enjoys being part of the larger Military Vehicle Preservation Associ-ation, which has 10,000 mem-bers worldwide – the majority of them American.

“Some people collect stamps – I guess we collect trucks,” he said with a chuckle.

One West Coaster will be among the admirers. Wayne Skippen of Salmon Beach is an active member of the group and helps with the tour.

“These are 12 World War II, mint condition vehicles, totally restored,” said Skippen.

Also a military vehicle enthusiast, Skippen’s restoring a Vietnam-era military Jeep.

“It’s all about remembrance – that’s remembrance of the vets,” Skippen said.

“We’ve gone through passes before - it may be a bit slow, because these are old trucks.”

Alberni sees Island’s hottest temperaturesERIC PLUMMER ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

Port Alberni had the hottest days on Vancouver Island last month, including a rec-ord-breaking peak at the end of June.

The average daily high in June was 26.5 Celsius, with the mercury rising to 36.6 C on June 27 – a record for that date since Environment Canada began compiling the Valley’s temperatures in 1917. Port Alberni’s average daily high was 26.5 C, which is 6 C more than normal temperatures experienced in the community over that month.

As is usually the case, these figures made Port Alberni the hottest part of the Island during the days last month, but overall temperatures were warmer in Comox, said Matt MacDonald, a meteorologist with Environment Canada. This is due to the fact that Comox experienced higher mean temperatures, which are calculated by adding daily highs and lows then dividing

them by two.Port Alberni’s mean in June

was 17.9 C, while Comox had 18.5 C.

“There was plenty of rec-ord-breaking heat in Port Alberni [last] month, but the overnight lows were pretty cool,” said MacDonald. “That really brings down the mean monthly temperature. You guys had a whole bunch of nights with lows of four and five degrees, whereas a lot of the other coastal sites that didn’t get as hot during the day also didn’t get as cool during the night.”

Alberni’s mean of 17.9 C was still significantly hotter than typical temperatures over the month, added MacDonald.

“That’s 3.3 degrees warm-er than normal, which for a month is incredible,” he said.

The coolest location on Van-couver Island in June was Port Hardy, which had a daily mean of 13.3 C.

“When a lightning storm goes through, we may get multiple strikes,” she said. “We don’t know what to expect. It may or may not hit.”

Human-caused fires, on the other hand, are preventable and controllable, she said.

“That is why we have the (expanded campfire) prohibi-tion in place,” she said. “That is indicative of how dry it is. The Island is in high and extreme fire danger ratings with no precipitation pre-dicted, so any spark can catch.”

Drysdale said the Thunder-birds, a firefighting crew based

out of Port Alberni, have been busy since early in the season. Deployed to any fire centre where they are needed most, the Thunderbirds spent much of the Spring in the north and are currently fighting a fire at Elaho.

The campfire ban will be in effect until further notice and includes the use of burn-ing barrels, burning cages, fireworks, firecrackers, sky lanterns and binary exploding targets.

Keep Americans away from ‘Canadian dream’

The Canadian Dream is to have a house on a lake. That’s why you see so many Motor homes driving around. Everyone is searching for the dream.

I saw a motor home with a small pool installed on the roof. A family living in denial of the dream but they are trying really hard.

Motor homes get close but they have to share it with a bunch of other homes that are trying to get close, too. A shared Canadian Dream.

Everybody is drinking Lucky outside and all the barbecues are side by side. How do they get clean when the showers are so small?

Camping is really a bunch of people pretending to be homeless. Then you have to drive back to the hot, crowded and noisy city. Dream on. People with a house at the lake never dream about living in a city apartment and people living in an apartment in the city imagine living in a house at the lake.

And watch out. The Americans are coming. If you thought it was impossible to find a house on a lake now it’s a bout to get even

more impossibl-er. The USA is run-ning out of water! And what will Canada do if America wants our water? Give it to them of course.

So you ask yourself if having a house on a lake is the Canadian Dream then what is the Canadian Nightmare? How about a Walmart on Sproat Lake.

Keep the Canadian Dream alive. The time is now to confuse the Americans. Tell them, “Don’t move to Canada. It’s bumper to bumper Zambonies.”

“Vacationing in Canada in Feb-ruary– all you need are flip-flops and plenty of sun screen.” “And whatever you do . . . bring FOOD. Once the Caribou runs out . . . forget it.”

Paul AlexanderPort Alberni

The real costs of airport are open for debate

As stated, the cost of the run-way expansion only is $300,000. However, much earth has to be removed for the mapping of the global positioning system. Com-bined with the lighting costs, the total cost of runway expansion is

much higher than $300,000. Whether that cost is really

$7.5 million is a matter open to debate.

As yet, no one has suggested which airline would be flying in/out of Port Alberni and whether or not that service would be daily (as is the case with KD Air and Orca Air from Qualicum).

If you wish to sign the sheet for a referendum on airport expan-sion, they’re now available at the regional district office or online.

The CBC needs to get itself out of the 1950s

Does the CBC have great/good programs? Absolutely.

Does the CBC represent the fabric makeup of Canada? Absolutely.

Does the CBC bring Canadians from all corners of our great country together? Absolutely.

Should the taxpayers of our country prop up public broad-casting to the tune of $1.3 billion dollars a year?

Absolutely not.

We are no longer living in the 1950s when CBC was the only radio and TV network that had a monopoly of the TV/radio audi-ence across the country.

Less than one third of Can-adians today listen to and watch CBC. The network needs an annual licence or dedicated com-munication tax to sustain itself, not the backs of the Canadian taxpayer.

The arrogance of the intellec-tual elite is no different than the new breed of entitled who want what they want, but someone else can pay for it.

We have a very serious federal election in the fall so please focus on the real issues for our country. Every party in power for the last decade or more has been cutting subsidies to the CBC, so please don’t hold the government hos-tage and use this for your plat-form to increase spending to the CBC.

How about a lawn sign that says: “We Vote for Literacy”or “We Vote for Affordable Housing” or “We Vote for Feeding the Working Poor.”

Dalhousie Facebook scandal has vital lessonsIt was bound to be highly

critical and condemnatory. An independent report this

week into the now infamous Facebook group of male dental students at Dalhousie Univer-sity in Halifax details exactly how the university permitted a culture of “sexism, misogyny, homophobia and racism.”

That’s a sobering picture for the university. But the more troubling part is that Dal-housie’s culture is far from iso-lated. “The reality at Dal is not different than any other insti-tution,” University of Ottawa law professor Constance Back-house, head of the team that compiled the report, noted this week.

In fact, the report should be required reading not only for university administrators, but

for managers in businesses and other institutions.

The report provides new details about the Facebook debacle that make it even more disturbing than when it first came to light last December.

After enduring six months of critical news reports over the postings and the university’s follow-up, Dalhousie president Richard Florizone accepted the 100-page report’s findings when they were released on Monday.

He said he hopes to implement most of the 39 recommenda-tions within two years.

Still, Florizone did not com-mit to fulfilling one of the most important recommenda-tions: establishing an ombud-sperson’s office similar to those that operate at many other universities.

That’s a mistake. An independent ombudsperson might have ensured that students complaining about harassment or sexism were not ostracized, and that the culture of sexism in the dental faculty was drawn to the attention of the university and acted on much earlier.

It might even have prevented the controversial Facebook postings from happening in the first place.

Among some of the report’s other recommendations that are well worth adopting:

Improving the university’s complaint system.

Taking active steps “to iden-tify and obtain information about potential or actual problems.”

Collaborating with other dental schools, professional licensing boards, and profes-sional associations across Canada to address equity and sexual misconduct within the profession.

Ensuring that when the uni-versity adopts a restorative justice program, as it did with the Facebook group and some of the targeted female stu-dents, those who choose not to participate are provided with alternative courses of redress.

Indeed, one of the most distressing findings of Back-house’s group deals with how the student who initiated the complaint about the Facebook group was treated by Dal-housie’s administration.

She and other female stu-dents who did not participate in the university’s recom-mended restorative justice program “said they had felt silenced and discouraged.”

And the student who first complained said the final restorative justice report made her feel “almost like a villain.”

The university, in short, ostracized the victims. It should reflect on that, and then get down to hiring an ombudsperson.

Mistakes need to be admitted every once in a whilePAT LITTLE FOR THE TIMES

Sometimes, a person has to step up to the plate when wrong and admit error.

I’ve had plenty of practice in that area over time! For two weeks, Lynn Robbins scored great golf rounds on ladies’ nights, only to be ignored by the writer and prize presenter.

To be fair, it wasn’t intention-al, but it doesn’t explain where my mind was when calculating the winners the past two weeks either.

To set the record straight, Lynn won both gross scores for the “B” division those weeks. Sorry Lynn. Lynn was 4 strokes better than Caroline Ness in the “B” division while Linda Smith and Maryann McConnell tied with 37’s in the “A” division, Smith won the countback.

Donna Cox caught everyone, including herself, off guard chipping in on No. 6 for the long awaited deuce jackpot. Nice short game Donna! Not to be outdone, Geri Shiels won the hidden hole capturing par on the first hole and the cash.

Rhonda Holcombe continues leading both the ladies’ point and ringer board competitions, each week increasing her leads.

Somebody was listening to my belly aching about the recent poor men’s night scores. Fur-ther, some answered. Dave Ackerman picked up 10 points posting a men’s night personal best 2 over par 32.

“Gone” John Sawyer wasn’t being denied either. Posting his two best scores recently, he snagged a four under par 26 for low net after a stunning 33, including an unsuspecting eagle chip in on hole four!

Preben Rasmussen scored low gross with a 1 over par 31, one better than Barry Ensor, while Rasmussen’s sidekick, Wayne Johnstone won the Hidden Hole. The “Hammer”, Jason Pley con-vincingly continues leading the point totals over Sawyer.

Over the past eleven years we’ve owned Hollies, our own Jackie Little has won over ten British Columbia provincial golf titles.

Last week she added yet another, winning her fifth B.C. Women’s Senior Amateurs in Cowichan.

Congratulations Jackie and thanks again for putting Port Alberni on the map. She will once again represent our city at the Canadians this August in Sarnia, Ontario.

Where ever Jackie and I have travelled and visited, often there’ve been opportunities to take advantage of cultural tours. Tours identifying and reflecting aspects of a communities’ eco-nomic life blood.

Good examples might be the cigar plantations of Cuba, the Dominican Republic Rum dis-tilleries, Hawaiian Pineapple plantations or the CNN studios in Atlanta.

We had a customer last week, an employee of Port Alberni’s paper mill. In our conversation, he discussed how one of the paper machines was producing product for “Playboy” magazine, while its sibling was creating paper for the “Bible!” That seemed extremely interesting!

My curious mind began won-dering whether our paper mill advertizes and/or conducts tours of our Port Alberni facility to visitors through our Cham-ber and other avenues. If so, I’m guilty for not noticing its presence.

If not, I wonder why? Admit-tedly paper may appear a bland subject, never the less, being an industrial component of our city and a vital community cog, paper is regardless, essen-tial to everyday life. I think an interesting thought for tourist business would be a prominent sign. A sign that might begin with the question: “Do you read Playboy?’ The followup sentence might continue...”It all begins here...in Port Alberni!

Book your tour and see more?”

Bulldogs add big forwardOntario Hockey League’s Adam Donnelly will play in Port Alberni this seasonALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

For the second time in as many weeks, the Alberni Valley Bull-dogs have acquired an impact player from a Mississauga-area junior team. This time around, the Bulldogs have negotiated the release of Adam Donnelly from the Mississauga Steelheads of the OHL.

Donnelly, who played for Lake Forest Academy in the Midwest Prep Hockey League, originally committed to the Bulldogs for the 2014/15 season but decided to play closer to home for family reasons. Donnelly, a 6’2, 200lbs, big and physical power-forward, will be a great addition for the Bulldogs with his strong work ethic, character, and leadership.

The Alberni Valley Bulldogs are very excited to welcome Adam, again, to the Bulldogs family and look forward to a big season this year.

Brett Stewart tradedBulldogs defenceman Brett

Stewart has been traded to the Salmon Arm Silverbacks for future considerations.

Stewart played in 95 regular season games with the Bulldogs and scored 15 goals and added 31 assists spanning two seasons.

Stewart added three assists in 12 playoff games as well.

Schedule releasedThe Bulldogs also recently

released their schedule for the 2015-16 season, which sees them open Sept. 12 on the road against the Cowichan Valley Capitals.

Federer gets knocked out at WimbledonHOWARD FENDRICH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON — On the final point of the first set of his latest Wimble-don disappointment, Rafael Nadal swung his mighty, lefty forehand — and whiffed, acci-dentally whacking his right leg with his racket.

It was a painful, embarrassing mistake, symbolic of the sort of day this was.

During five trips to the All England Club from 2006-11, Nadal reached the final every time. In his most recent four appearances, though, Nadal has exited early against an unherald-ed, unaccomplished and, most importantly, unafraid opponent ranked 100th or worse. On Thurs-day, Nadal lost 7-5, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 in the second round to Dustin Brown, who needed to qualify just to enter the main draw.

“It’s not the end,” Nadal said. “(It’s) a sad moment for me ... but life continues. My career, too.”

Toni Nadal, Rafael’s uncle and coach, summed up the Centre Court match this way: “He played really bad. Bad shots. Very bad with his forehand.”

All true. But give credit to Brown and his varied, risky and entertaining brand of tennis, a mix of old-school serve-and-vol-leying, drop shots, drop volleys and go-for-it returns.

“I had nothing to lose. If I lose 6-1, 6-2, 6-3, everyone says ’Bravo, Rafa,”’ Brown said.

The 30-year-old Brown was born in Germany to a Jamaican father — whose face is tattooed on Brown’s stomach — and German mother. They moved to Jamaica when he was 12 and returned to Europe about a dec-ade ago. Around that time, his parents bought him an RV so he could drive from tournament to tournament.

Who could have imagined this sort of triumph back then? Or, frankly, even now?

After all, Brown is ranked 102nd, entered Thursday with a 6-11 record in 2015 and has never been past the third round at a major.

Nadal, meanwhile, is a former No. 1 and the owner of 14 major titles, tied with Pete Sampras for second-most behind Roger Feder-er’s 17.

SCOREBOARD

Winnipeg Blue Bomber Johnny Adams tries to stop Hamilton Tiger-Cat Terrence Toliver from hauling in the touchdown pass CFL action in Winnipeg Thursday. [THE CANADIAN PRESS]

Ti-Cats crush Blue Bombers in WinnipegJUDY OWEN THE CANADIAN PRESS

WINNIPEG — Zach Collaros passed for 354 yards and two touchdowns as the Hamilton Tiger-Cats scored six majors in a 52-26 rout of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers on Thursday.

Drew Willy, Winnipeg’s starting quarterback, left the field with a suspected head injury.

Willy was injured with 20 seconds remaining in the first quarter when he took a helmet-to-hel-met hit from Ticats defensive end Adrian Tracy.

Willy appeared to be knocked out as medical staff looked at him. After a couple minutes on the turf, he walked off the field to the lock-er-room and was replaced by Brian Brohm.

He’s the fifth quarterback to be injured in the first two weeks of the CFL season, joining Mont-real’s Jonathan Crompton and Dan LeFevour, Edmonton’s Mike Reilly and Saskatchewan vet-eran Darian Durant on the sidelines.

Hamilton (1-1) had a 17-7 lead after the first quarter and 38-7 at halftime. The team announced on Twitter that the 38 points was the most first-half points for a road team in 23 years.

Collaros completed 26-of-33 pass attempts, including a 35-yard toss to Bakari Grant and a three-yard pass to Terrence Toliver.

The Ticats got a rushing touchdown off a one-yarder by backup quarterback Jeff Mat-thews, while Brandon Banks returned a punt 67 yards for a major. Emanuel Davis took an inter-ception 35 yards for a touchdown and Brandon Stewart picked off Brohm and ran 38 yards into the end zone.

Hamilton kicker Justin Medlock was good on field goals from 19, 32 and 38 yards and made all his converts. Willy was 3-of-6 for 48 yards. Brohm finished 16-of-28 for 146 yards and two intercep-tions. He scored a touchdown on a 16-yard run in front of 27,279 fans at the Bombers home opener at Investors Group Field. Winnipeg (1-1) scored points off a 13-yard run by Paris Cotton and a four-yarder by Cameron Marshall.

PREVIOUS PUZZLE

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You have a lot to say, and you want others to hear you. Try incorporating more originality into the conversation. A friend could feel a bit awkward about a project you both are involved in. Don’t let the gawkiness interfere with the bond. Tonight: Let your imagination rule.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)Listen to news, and be ready to make a decision that might cause some tension. This matter could revolve around the community or your work. Stay centered. Use caution when spending money on your home or on a family mem-ber. Tonight: Let the party begin!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You have the ability to see beyond the obvious. As a result, when you give a presentation, everyone focuses on what you are saying. Use caution with spending, and explain in a clear way why you might need to say “no.” Tonight: Take off and try out a new spot.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)Deal with a loved one on a one-on-one level. Your points will be

well-received, and you can have a discussion that you probably had been avoiding. You might have felt vulnerable as of late, but you will determine that you are on friendly turf. Tonight: Let the good times roll.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)You add punch to everyone’s day. You know what you want, but get-ting it could take some talent. You deal with very stubborn people who are determined to be right. Zero in on a long-term desire that you have wanted to make a real-ity. Tonight: Where you friends are.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)You intuitively know what to do. Pace yourself and recognize that you are not a superhero. Don’t push yourself too hard. Communi-cation revolves around an author-ity figure or some other person you often defer to. Tonight: Know when to say “enough is enough.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)Take news with a grain of salt. You are happiest at home, not having to deal with any uproar. Focus on what you enjoy. A child

might delight you more than you ever could have imagined. Add that quality of lightness to your other bonds. Tonight: Christen the weekend well.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)You could be in the midst of a major change involving a matter you have avoided dealing with. This adjustment is likely to occur in the near future. Focus on a domestic issue. A partner will sup-port you in whatever you want to do. Tonight: Togetherness counts.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Others have a lot to say, so listen closely, and you can meet them halfway. Your logic might be off-beat and a bit unrealistic. No mat-ter what you do, you can’t seem to get everyone to listen to your opinions. Stay upbeat, regardless of the outcome. Tonight: Get into weekend mode.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Use caution with spending. You usually are cautious, but some-one knows how to goad you into spending more. Take your time, and check out an item you have wanted to buy more carefully. You probably are not getting a good deal. Tonight: Have fun!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)Choose not to see a situation as a problem. You might be surprised by how different your perspective could be if you just relax. Listen to what someone else has to share. This person has strong feelings, so make sure you’re ready for that type of interaction. Tonight: Ever playful.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)Take your time when making a decision. You might not know which way to go. Your sense of humor emerges when dealing with a child. Consider taking some time off. You need a change of scenery, and you’ll feel much bet-ter if you go for a drive. Tonight: Be with a favorite person.

Everyone loves to play with clay, and if you are aged 9-12, then this is

the class you will want to join. Laugh, Explore, Create. This two day clay workshop is for children ages 9-12 year olds, Sat. July 11th and Sat. July 18th, from 9-11 a.m. at the Roll-in Art Centre. Learn the funda-mentals of clay. Register today, as space is limited.

The Rollin Art Centre is very lucky to have a great musical line up this year

to help our summer Teas on the Terrace fundraiser. Yes, you heard right, when you purchase your tickets you are also helping to raise funds for the Rollin Art Centre. We are extremely excited to have a few returning entertainers as well as some new faces, one in particular, is high school student, Erin Netzer. Erin is a very talented jazz musician, one to keep an eye on. This is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon, while helping to raise much needed funds for the Rollin Art Centre.

Wonderful music, catching up with friends and experiencing the Rollin Art Centre’s “high Tea” under the canopy of trees all began Thursday July 2. This year’s delicious delectables will be created by Harvest Thyme Fine Foods. Tickets are now on sale at the Rollin Art Centre, so don’t miss out, as seating is limited, and sell-outs are already happening.

Teas begin at 1 p.m. and run until 3 p.m.

The new line-up: July 9 –Erin Netzer-ADSS stu-dent, vocals and keyboardJuly 16 – Folk Song Circle: A musical treat.July 23 – Mr. Ross and the Boss; guitar/keyboard & vocals of old time favorites.July 30 – Ester Haack & daugh-ter, Anna Lewis-Celtic; fiddle & violinAug. 6 – Old Time FiddlersAug. 13 – Marlyn Smith-origin-al, guitar & vocalsAug. 20 - The Travellers; folk style music and song with a twist

School is out for summer and for harried parents who would rather not

have their children glued to a screen of one sort or another, summer camps are a wonderful idea! Over the coming months, between the need for young people to keep busy and the imagination of many different organizations, there dozens of options. But I think there are still a few niches to be filled.

Here are some summer camps I’d like to see:

Elf Camp: Come on, Orlando Bloom must have gone some-where to learn all the tricks of being an elf for the Lord of the Rings movies. How about a camp where you can learn archery, delicate hair braiding, balletic moves across rough terrain and, of course, how to speak and write high-Elvin? Advanced campers, with appro-priate signed waivers, could learn metal craft.

Adult Realities Camp: Why waste time learning how to heave a shot put at track camp

when you could be preparing for adult life? I’d like younger people to learn how to navigate insurance bills, compare mort-gages, work the internet to find a good price on a used car, and manage a checking/savings account without incurring fees and master basic home repairs. Nobody taught me how to do all that, which strikes me now as ridiculous. We should be start-ing kids early on this stuff!

How about a zero carbon footprint camp – learn how to compost, how to raise goats and make cheese, how to make beef jerky, put up preserves for the winter and basically live off the grid.

Here’s a wild one that might benefit most of us: a forgive-ness camp. Or maybe a learn-

to-value-a-whole-person-not-just-their-physical-appearance camp? If we are going that far, why not knock down all the barriers and open up adult summer camps? What if we could send politicians to a humble-service camp? That would be wonderful, provided that the other side of the lake hosted a respect-authority camp for all the rest of us. How about a think-first-talk-later camp? Week two of that camp could teach us to withhold our opinions until we have all the information.

I’m going to stop here because some of these camps are hitting too close to home; I feel like I should be enrolling in a few of them.

“Dear God, even though I’m long past summer camp age, please send me people and opportunities to become the person you created me to be.”
