KRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

While most of the Alberni Val-ley has been engulfed in smoke, many lake residents are experi-encing the Dog Mountain fire close to home.

The devastation, which has increased from a 125-hectare fire to 245 hectares within 24 hours, has raised awareness about air quality, safety and created a general sense of unease. Social media has been the quickest way to communicate with friends, family and the rest of the community.

With his camera in hand, Rob Frolic has been keeping hun-dreds of social media followers updated on the fire’s progress on a daily basis. Living on Faber Road, he was one of the first to call in the fire to emergency ser-vices. From there, he has been taking daily boat trips and track-ing the fire’s progress.

He said seeing the blaze creep further has been a surreal experience.

“It has been quite the sight to see,” he said.

From Saturday’s spark, Frolic has witnessed jumping hot spots leave unburned patches in their path, acting as fuel to spark fur-

ther fires. “It has been stubborn,” Frolic

said. “You see (firefighters) spend so much time on one spot and think it is out, so they go to another and the first one is back, pushing further.”

He watched it spread towards Two Rivers and Taylor Arm and onto the beaches.

“It fueled significantly and trees were going up,” he said.

With more than 600 photos taken, Frolic will have this docu-mentation for the history books.

“The aftermath will be seen for many years to come,” he said. “It is right in the centre (of the lake) where everyone can see it. It will

be like a dark reminder of what happened.”

Frolic said he expects it will not be until the last ember burns that the impact of what he is capturing will sink in.

Likewise, Bishop Drive resident Tom McEvay has been using his proximity and communication skills to share his views. Living directly across from the moun-tain, McEvay has witnessed the fire unfold.

“I saw it from the first puff of smoke on Saturday to what we are faced with now, which is an entire mountain on fire,” McEv-ay said.

He said he wants to get the information out in a timely man-ner and has been going out in his boat twice a day. The whole experience is leaving him with mixed emotions.

“It is very sad and frustrating,” McEvay said. “I try to remain calm to finger-pointing but in my opinion, there was not a sense of appropriate urgency. There was quite a bit of time that passed before the first helicopters and plane with fire retardant came. We clearly have to say it was too little too late.”

At the same time, as he strug-gles to let that go, McEvay said it

is frightening to think of what is still to come.

“To see this fire move has been very discouraging, scary, frus-trating and surreal,” he said.

On Sunday evening he saw the red glows move over the ridge and to down the Taylor River side of the mountain before it took out a cabin.

“That night it was like lava flows coming down cliffs,” he said. “From a visual standpoint, it was spectacular, but from an emotional standpoint, it was frightening.”

He saw the mountainside speckled with hot spots and heard trees falling down.

He fears if the fire is left to burn out, the issue of small landslides will persist and the air quality could remain poor for weeks.

“This didn’t have to be, but it is, and we have to support those fighting it,” McEvay said. “They are amazing and are only dealing with the resources they have.”

Chris Alemany has been using his website, alberniweather.ca, to keep track of air quality and the fire’s progress to gather informa-tion in one spot.

ERIC PLUMMER ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

As the Dog Mountain forest fire grows to over 245 hectares, filling the Alberni Valley with smoke, B.C.’s minister of forests has final-ly announced what locals have yearned for all week: The Mars water bomber will be back in the air.

Since the spring Coulson Air Tankers has held a contract with the province keeping the Mars on standby in case its 27,200 drop cap-acity is needed this summer, but the massive plane has remained on Sproat Lake this week despite the rapid spread of the nearby Dog Mountain fire over the lake’s shore. This is about to change with an order from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource operations given on Wednesday afternoon.

“I’m pleased to announce that we’ve got an agreement with the Coulson group, we’re entering into a one-month agreement with them to use the tanker given the extraordinary fire situation this year,” said Minister of Forests Steve Thomson. “There are a few steps that have to take place before it actually gets put into action around testing and some training and all of that sort of thing, my understanding is that’s going to take a day or two. Theoretically we should have this in progress or in use by the weekend.”

For years the iconic plane has been used to fight forest fires across B.C. and elsewhere in North America, but the bomber was grounded last year after the province opted not to renew its suppression contract. On Wednes-day Thomson admitted that the ongoing forest fire situation in B.C. has forced the government to reconsider.

“We have modern and cost-ef-fective aircraft available for B.C.’s terrain, 32 six-wing aircraft, heli-copters, amphibious scoopers,” Thomson said. “We felt we had the appropriate resources avail-able but given the extraordinary fire situation this year that we’re in, we’re looking to every possible tool with our toolbox.”

Survey explores brandingKRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

Do you want a say on how Port Alberni could be branded? Do you have the best idea of what sets the community apart from the rest?

The City is looking for input on how the community’s message can drive economic development and attract visitors. City staff also want to know what people think will encourage newcomers to call Port Alberni home.

A survey was launched at the last City Council meeting to look for public opinion toward the economic development branding.

A series of short questions will collect demographic information, including area of residence, age group and gender. The rest gather further information through open-ended questions where users can provide comments, sugges-tions and constructive criticism. They include input on favourite places to visit, the community’s strengths and weaknesses, as well as the challenges, or negatives, about Port Alberni.

The survey steers clear of pol-itics and is geared more toward a hands-on approach to growth.

Pat Deakin said the response so

far has been good, but is looking for more input. The results will be compiled by a third party, Roger Brooks International, and further studied by a local com-mittee formed by the Economic Development office. Results, after presented to council, will be used to launch a marketing campaign.

The survey can be found online at www.portalberni.ca or paper copies are available at Echo Centre and City Hall. The closing date is July 22.

‘Ping pong balls’ with fuel planned for fi re

FIRE, from Page 1

Alemany said in the past two days, the levels of particulate matter in the air have been much higher than seen even during the usual woodsmoke burning in the fall.

“It is awful,” Alemany said. “It is dangerous for anyone out and about in it.”

Alemany said there is a slight chance of rain for Saturday.

“If there is, it won’t be much, probably less than ten millim-eters, but at least it can help,” he said.

On the fire scene, Tuesday’s planned staged ignition was can-celled because of unfavourable conditions. Experts were survey-ing the area again Wednesday with the possibility of under-taking the controlled burn from helicopter.

“They will drop ping pong balls filled with ignition fuel and they

will ignite a certain time after they are dropped under the can-opy,” said Ellie Dupont, fire infor-mation officer with the Coastal Fire Centre.

If it takes place, residents can expect to see an increase in smoke which will stick around for two to three days.

Residents notice poor air qualityERIC PLUMMER ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

Alberni Valley residents are feeling the effects of the growing wildfire on Dog Mountain in their lungs.

Levels of fine particulate matter in the atmosphere have become alarmingly high since Sunday. The provincial standard for healthy air is 25 micrograms of fine particulate matter per cubic metre, but on Wednesday afternoon the 24-hour average was measured at 45.8 micro-grams, with levels reaching 136.9 at 1 p.m. Smoky conditions from wildfires can be found in com-munities across southern B.C., but Wednesday’s measurements made Port Alberni Vancouver Island’s worst for particulate concentrations.

“This has been very abnor-mal, very unusual for a wildfire impact of this magnitude on the Island,” said Earle Plain, and air quality meteorologist with the B.C. Ministry of Environment. “We had some really good peaks [Tuesday] when the wind shifted again from the west.”

The situation has made the out-doors uncomfortable for Alberni residents – regardless of pre-ex-isting conditions.

“I’ve been battling a headache on and off for the last three days,” said Megan Goodman. “I’m not an allergy sufferer or

anything, so I honestly didn’t think I was going to be affected at all.”

She’s had to keep her son, Reese, indoors while a haze lingers over the Valley due to the four-year-old’s chronic bron-chitis. Reese managed to enjoy the city’s Our Town family event on Tuesday evening when the outdoor gathering was moved inside the Glenwood Centre, but fine particulate matter can be detected indoors as well.

“We managed to spend an hour there, but by the time we were done he had started his cough-ing,” Megan said.

“I’m asthmatic, so this hasn’t been very fun for me at all,” add-ed Port Alberni resident Jacque-line Meyer. “I’ve been on my inhaler more in the last four days than I have all year.”

On Wednesday Jim Miller found the air getting progressive-ly worse as he delivered the AV Times in Beaver Creek. Miller has no respiratory conditions, but his throat became irritated by the smoke.

“I’m starting to get a raspy throat right now,” he said. “I’m going through water like crazy.”

The current air quality advis-ory for Port Alberni and the east side of Vancouver Island remains in effect indefinitely.

Questioning the province’s cost savings for fi ghting wildfi res

Has anyone put together a chart which shows a picture of:

- How much the government cited as ‘cost-savings’ in choos-ing not to renew the Mars water bombers -vs-

- How much has been lost to date in Crown lands, com-mercial and private properties engulfed or affected by wild-fire? (Even in this ONE fire burning on Dog Mountain)?

It would be very interest-ing indeed to also provide a comparison of the fire-fight-ing capabilities of these water-bombers to the ones of the smaller tankers in use. (I have heard that most cannot even scoop up water and must fly across to the mainland to refill?)

I admit that certain facts must be established, but I am very interested in finding answers to these questions as many must be here and across B.C..

Roman FrankPort Alberni

Get the bomber fi ghting fi res

Re: ‘An open letter to Minister of Forests Steve Thomson’ letter, July 7, Page 4

Agreed - get Hawaii Mars bombing fires. I would like to point out that the “Aurora” aircraft Mr. Cook thought he saw are actually Lockheed Electras operated by Air Spray of Red Deer, AB. The mistake is understandable given the Aurora fleet at Comox and that Electras and Auroras are essen-tially the same aircraft (except to airplane geeks).

It’s up to the government to improve poverty

Kudos to the City of Van-couver for opting to create a liveable wage policy for it’s workers.

Would be a boon if this inspired the provincial to raise welfare rates, which affect many communities all over

B.C –especially populated with clients on disability who, tho’ unable to work, still contribute to the fabric of the community in other (often volunteerism) ways.

Unfortunately, I don’t hold out much hope for a provincial government that expects aging clients on disability to live on an average of $950/month.

Do the math: According to a regular 40-hour work week (or 160 hours per month), an income of $950/month works out to $5.94 per hour.

Is it any wonder the provin-cial government balks at rais-ing the minimum wage, when they know people can survive (albeit just ... ) on the equiva-lent of $5.94/hour?

So good luck with this sane new approach, Vancouver City.

“Halleluiah, ANYway!”, as the AME church says ;-)

And as 2006 Nobel Peace prize recipient, Muhammed Yunus said: “Poverty is not created by poor people. It is created by the concepts and institutional arrangements under which people live.”

Liz Stonard Port Alberni

Are the Chinese interested in buying the Mars bombers?

From reading recent articles I am aware that the Philippine Mars is going into a museum in Florida while the Hawaii Mars is to remain in service fighting fires. I keep getting snips of info re Chinese nationals train-ing on the Mars Bomber. To what end? Is the Hawaii Mars headed to China? Are the Chi-nese buying the company?

There is a news story here somewhere. Hope to read about it soon.

B.C. has a love affair with these big old Beauties. Hats off to Wayne Coulson and his company for keeping these magnificent machines working as long as he has. I hope he can continue longer but everything has it’s time. I imagine parts etc are getting harder and harder to locate.

Anyway all news about the Mars is interesting but current-ly I am most interested in the Chinese angle.

Europe needs to offer Greece a new startWhat Greece needs after

its defiant ‘No’ vote on Sunday to the latest

ultimatum from Europe’s central bankers is not a speedy Grexit from the currency union. That would be a political disaster for Europe and bring yet more pain for Greece itself.

What’s needed is a Grexit from the spectre of perpetual, grind-ing austerity that has all but destroyed the country’s economy.

Rather than punish Greece and its 11 million people by cutting off the credit it needs to manage an unpayable $360 billion debt, European leaders who met in Brussels on Tuesday should agree to offer Greece a way out of this impasse, and a path forward.

Granted, the pressure is on Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras to come up with a cred-ible plan. But the lenders, led by Germany, should be flexible,

and supportive. After Greece’s default on a loan repayment last week the fate of the euro now hangs by a thread.

While most Greeks want to stick with the euro, Tsipras got a 60-per-cent-plus mandate from the public endorsing his rejec-tion of budget cuts the creditors had proposed in return for res-cue loans. That’s far stronger popular support than predicted, albeit on a fuzzy question.

And he got his support even as cash-strapped Greeks faced the harshest bank controls Europe has seen in recent years, with banks shut, and bank machines rationing withdrawals.

Rightly, Tsipras interpreted the referendum result as a man-date “to seek a viable solution,” not to break with the euro. And Greece’s five main parties promptly pledged to carry out “credible reforms” to earn con-tinued financing.

Most Greeks know that Athens has mismanaged the economy for decades. Greece has been plagued by poor administration, political pandering, tax evasion and overregulation. The case for reform is strong. Despite the euphoria of the No vote, people understand that stringent reforms and hard times inevit-ably lie ahead.

Yet five years of austerity have failed to set Greece on a course to recovery, making people defi-ant. It has plunged 3 million into poverty, slashed output by 25 per cent and driven up unemploy-ment by the same percentage. Growth is expected to be zero per cent this year, or less.

People can’t stomach yet more tax increases and cuts to gov-ernment spending, wages and pensions. That will just further strangle growth and drive up the debt. Faced with decades more austerity, younger Greeks feel

they have no stake left.Even the International Monet-

ary Fund, one of the principal creditors, agrees that Greece needs more than $60 billion in extra funds over the next three years, plus large-scale debt relief by way of discounted interest rates and a stretched-out debt repayment period, to create a “breathing space” and stabilize the economy. As presently struc-tured the debt is “unsustain-able,” the IMF conceded last week.

Others have suggested that debt repayment could be linked to future growth. Creditors would be repaid, but from the surplus, not from a zero-growth economy. The IMF’s hard-headed assessment should be a cue for Europe’s politicians, the Euro-pean Commission and the Euro-pean Central Bank to recognize that the full debt won’t be repaid and to ease up in their demands.

The EU, with an $18-trillion economy, can afford it. Greece’s economy represents less than 2 per cent of it. This is a political test of European resiliency and integration, as much as it is an economic bailout.

While Europeans may be thor-oughly fed up with carrying Greece’s debt, it’s hard to see any gain in pushing Greece out of the currency union. Creditors would then get nothing back by way of repayment, instead of at least something on the euro.

People in other highly indebted countries – Spain, Italy, Portu-gal – could be inspired to rebel against similar austerity. And the whole single-currency zone could go down.

There’s still time to avoid the worst. Greece should be offered enough support to keep its banks afloat while the politicians work out a new deal.

VALLEY FACESGetting to know the people who live in the Alberni Valley

Active youth works ideal job with local kidsKRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

Rhylie Lee is an active local resident who enjoys encouraging others to be

involved in sports and recreation. She has been spending her sum-mer keeping busy doing just that on both personal and work levels.

Rhylie was born and raised in Port Alberni by Warren and Karen Lee. As the middle child and only girl, she said she was easily harassed by both her older and younger brothers. She grew up in a close and loving family, however, and was able to experi-ence countless memorable events shared together. Many of those include travel because the family vacationed in Hawaii and Disney-land almost every year.

Influenced by her parents, Rhylie said she learned a lot of life skills from her father, a mar-tial arts instructor at Dragon Martial Arts.

“It gives you a sense of disci-pline,” Rhylie said. “I wish I had taken it more when I had

time, but it’s also hard with my dad because I don’t take him seriously.”

Instead, Rhylie was highly involved in dance from a young age. She was enrolled in ballet at the age of two and continued until high school graduation in 2014. It was something for which she quickly gained a passion and increased the number of classes to include all forms of performing arts.

“The best thing was that all my friendships formed through dance,” Rhylie said. “All of my best friends danced together.”

During her final year, she was Snow White at Stage West School of Performing Arts’ year-end show.

Some of Rhylie’s best memories also stem from spending time at her grandmothers’s lakefront property, something she still enjoys today.

Her outgoing personality helped with her success in school. As an honour roll stu-dent, Rhylie’s favourite subjects

included Leadership and Media. She gained confidence through Leadership and organized assemblies and school events and enjoyed getting in front of the camera for the morning ABC News through her media studies. She said high school was a time of friendships and having fun.

One of the highlights during Rhylie’s final year in high school was winning the crown for Totem Spirit.

“I had a lot of support from the dance team and all of the candi-dates worked well together as a team,” she said.

Not only that, Rhylie took classes that helped enable her to get a part-time job with Parks and Recreation and helped her to decide on a career path. While in school, she worked as a skate patrol at Glenwood Centre and now, five years later, she is a full-time employee. Her job var-ies with seasons and she moves from the upper concession at the Multiplex to her duties at Glen-wood Centre. Currently, Rhylie

has a full plate of summer events to plan, organize and facilitate for kids and families.

“I love it,” she said. “It is the best job I’ve ever had. The people are great, the facility is awesome and I can’t complain at all.”

After the success of Tuesday night’s first Our Town of the sea-son, she is now preparing for this Sunday evening’s Starlight Movie Night at Bob Dailey Stadium. Then it will be back to planning

all of the upcoming Our Town events for the rest of July and August.

Rhylie intends to spend the summer concentrating on work and enjoying her time off at the lake. For her future, she is consid-ering post-secondary education in the recreation field and would like to continue working with children.

SCOREBOARD

Mariners continue to struggle with RISPTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEATTLE — Scoring runs has not been a prob-lem lately for the Seattle Mariners. Scoring enough to win has been the issue.

Jefry Marte, in his initial big league start after bouncing around the minors for eight years, had an RBI double for his first career hit and added a solo home run that sent the Detroit Tigers over Seattle 5-4 on Wednesday.

Down by three early, the Mariners bounced back to tie it 4-all by the fourth. But the Tigers went ahead in the seventh and the Mariners finished 0 for 14 with runners in scoring position.

“You certainly would like to be more efficient in those spots,” said Trent Jewett, filling in as Mariners manager with Lloyd McClendon away from the team to attend his sister’s funeral. “We obviously had plenty of opportunities to push a lot more across.”

Marte, promoted to the majors Sunday, doubled during Detroit’s three-run second. He also scored his first run that inning.

In the fourth, he homered to left on a 2-0 pitch from J.A. Happ to make it 4-2.

“So excited — my first career homer in the big leagues,” said the 24-year-old Marte, who planned to give the souvenir ball to his family.

The Mariners had at least one baserunner in every inning and put two on in five of them. Even in the ninth, they threatened against closer Joakim Soria, who issued successive two-out walks. Soria then struck out Mark Trumbo, who had three of Seattle’s six hits.

“He threw me a nice split to end it,” Trumbo said.

Dustin Ackley hit a two-run homer for the Mar-iners to tie it in the fourth.

“We just have to have better at-bats, be ready early in the count and make sure we are squar-ing those balls up,” he said.

“The situation kind of gets the best of us some-times,” Ackley added.

GERRY FAGAN FOR THE TIMES

The Port Boat House Blue, White & Red Tournament which was originally scheduled for last Sunday was postponed until this coming week. The Players committee felt, having it the day after the Charity Classic would be a bad Idea. There were too many of our members involved in the Classic that would not be out the next day.

In Men’s Club action this past Sunday it was Jacques Giovetti leading the way with a gross score of 73, great game Jacques, Colin Hamilton was second low gross carding a 78, winning by retrogression. On the net side of the day coming through with a 60 was Gerry Fagan. Followed by Dan Goddard shooting 65.

The Closest to the pins were recorded by Bill Bjornson on No.2, Cal Davies on No. 4, and it was Jacques Giovetti win-ning both No 13, and No 17. Bill

Morin was the winner of the Charity Closest to the pin on No 7 taking home $24 for his efforts.

This Sunday July 12th is the Port Boat House Blue, White & Red Tournament. For those who aren’t sure how that goes, it’s fairly simple. Six holes are played from the Blue tees, Six from the White Tees and Six from the red tees. The order that they will be played will be deter-mined by the Club Captain.

The shotgun will be at 8AM. Please make up your own four-somes and register in the Pro Shop, or enter as a single and you will be placed in a group. This is an individual event, every man for himself.

The price is $15 per player which includes Closest to the pins and money pots.

» Gerry Fagan is an avid golfer, and volunteers around the community, including at the Alberni Golf Club.

Annual tournament gets postponed

Local squad lost its fi rst four games before taking gold

Blazers win U19 B.C. championshipsSHANNON CHARLESWORTH FOR THE TIMES

The Alberni Valley Blazers U19 Girls Fastpitch team are the 2015 Softball BC Provincial champions.

After losing their first of four round robin games in the 16 team tournament, the Blazers were off to tough start after being defeated 5-4 in extra innings by Abbotsford. The team regrouped and came back later Friday afternoon with vengeance against Sicamous beating them 11-4. On Saturday morning, the Alberni girls faced south Island rivals Sooke with an 11-5 win, next up on the agenda was the host team West Kelowna which proved to be a very tough game but in the extreme heat the Blazers came out on top with a 5-3 victory giving themselves a 3-1 record in Round Robin Play.

Being seeded fourth out of the 16 teams who made the trip to the BC’s they were to face 5th seed Sooke Slammers again.

The Blazers wasted no time and defeated them 7-0 in 5 innings to end the evening with 3 wins that day.

Up early the next morning the Blazers returned to the ball dia-mond at 8 a.m. to face the firstp seed Richmond Panthers for the chance to advance to the medal round. With strong bats and great defense, the Blazers came up with a 9-1 win. With only a one game break the Blazers were back on the diamond at noon to face the No. 2 seed, Peninsula Thunder in the semi-final win-ners bracket.

Being a double knock out for-mat the Blazers were given a second life after suffering a 8-5 loss. With temperatures almost unplayable, the Blazers went on to face home town team West Kelowna at 2 p.m. but left no doubt they were headed back to the final game with a convincing 10-2 victory infront of a packed house at the Westbank First Nations Pine Stadium.

In the Final game of the after-

noon, the Blazers got a chance of redemption against the South Island Peninsula Thunder.

It was a solid effort by each and everyone of the 11 girls who made the journey to this Cham-pionship and at the bottom of the 7th innings, the Blazers had recorded a 7-1 Victory as a final score in the gold medal cham-pionship win.

Alberni Valley Blazers coach Shannon Charlesworth was extremely impressed with the play of the girls as it was exhausting in the heat of the okanagon and smoke filled skies from near by fires.

She was most proud of the girls for winning over the home town fans with their sportsmanship. She would like to thank the Alberni Valley Minor Softball Association, Sproat Lake House-boats and the Alberni Valley community for their support in sending these girls to the Provin-cial Championships.

“Seeing those smiles wrapped up in a gold medal is pretty special and without the commit-ment from these girls to practice hard for the past few months it

would not have been possible,” Charlseworth said.

“This is a busy age and to see these girls still playing fastpitch and making the commitment to particpate in sport is terrific.

“Our community is very proud.”

Federer, Murray set up semi-fi nal matchSTEPHEN WILSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON — Roger Federer is back in familiar territory, closing in on another Wimbledon title. He’ll face a familiar opponent — Andy Murray — for a place in the final.

Despite losing serve for the first time all tournament, Federer overwhelmed Gilles Simon 6-3, 7-5, 6-2 on Wednesday to advance to the semifinals at the All Eng-land Club for the 10th time, and to the final four of a Grand Slam tournament for the 37th time.

Federer, chasing a record eighth Wimbledon title and his 18th Grand Slam championship, will face 2013 champion Murray in Friday’s semifinals. Murray beat Canada’s Vasek Pospisil 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 to reach his sixth Wimble-don semifinal.

“The road is long getting here,” Federer said. “But still I feel like I’m fresh and I’ve got energy left in the tank for hopefully a great match with Andy and then we’ll see.”

Federer has never lost in the Wimbledon semifinals, holding a

career 9-0 record. He has a 12-11 career edge over Murray, but the Briton beat him on Centre Court in the final of the 2012 Olympic tournament — a few weeks after Federer defeated Murray in the Wimbledon final for his seventh title.

“We both like to look back at that summer — me, not so

much at the Olympics; him, probably not so much at Wimble-don,” Federer said. “He played unbelievable in the finals of the Olympics. I’m not going to try to look back at that too much, because he really dominated me in that one.”

Murray overpowered Federer in straight sets in the Olympic

match, but since then, Federer has won four of their last six meetings, including the last three.

“I know Roger very well,” Murray said. “We’ve played each other many times. We saw each other this morning; walked to the practice courts together and stuff. We get on well. But obviously on Friday, different story.”

In the other quarterfinal matches, defending champion Novak Djokovic was playing U.S. Open champion Marin Cilic, and French Open winner Stan Waw-rinka was up against Richard Gasquet.

Federer put on another vintage grass-court display Wednesday to take Simon apart in just over 90 minutes on Court 1 in a match that was interrupted twice by rain delays.

“The stop-and-gos are tough,” Federer said. “You never know how you’re going to come back from them, but I think I used them to my advantage. Either I stayed ahead or I was able to make the difference.”

Redskins must drop trademark, judge finds MATTHEW BARAKAT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — For the first time in a legal battle that has stretched over 20 years, a fed-eral judge on Wednesday ordered the cancellation of the Wash-ington Redskins’ trademark registration, ruling that the teamname may be disparaging to Native Americans.

The ruling does not bar the team from using the Redskins name if it wishes. The team could even still sue for trade-mark infringement, but winning such a case could prove more complex without the legal pro-tections that come with a feder-ally registered trademark.

Blue Jay off to derbyTHE CANADIAN PRESS

WILDLIFE TRANSPORTATION

Victoria’s Shawn Hanson chased the cat 20 feet into the thick Salmon Beach bush

Man saves dog from cougarANDREW BAILEY WESTERLY NEWS

A tourist shot and killed a cougar that attacked his dog on Salmon Beach on July 2.

Shawn Hanson, a 38-year-old Victoria local, had just returned to his friends’ cabin from a fish-ing trip when he came face to face with the cougar around 4 p.m.

Hanson had brought a salmon to a cleaning table outside when his dog Bailey, a one-year-old miniature dachshund, was grabbed.

“As soon as I put the salmon down, a cougar whipped out of the bushes from about 15 feet away and snatched her,” he said.

“I’ve encountered wildlife quite a bit but never anything like that…I didn’t know really what was going on I thought it might have been another dog that was attacking her because I just caught a glimpse out of the corner of my eye and then it bug-gered off into the bushes.”

He said he had no time to think before chasing after the animal.

“I just started screaming…and booked it straight into the bush full-bore,” he said.

He said he chased the cougar about 20 feet into thick bush before it slowed and he was able to grab a hold of it.

“I grabbed on to its rear end

with one hand and then reached up and grabbed my dog with the other and when I had a grip on the dog I reached back and punched the cougar in the face and at that point it dropped the dog,” he said. “I gave it a good sock in the face…it gave it a pretty good stunning and it opened its mouth and dropped the dog.”

Hanson said he cautiously car-ried Bailey out of the bush away from the cougar.

“I wasn’t sure if it was going to start slashing at me or anything like that,” he said.

When he returned to his camp-

site, Hanson grabbed his shotgun and headed back into the bush to make sure the cougar had left the area and was not preparing to return.

“It was standing pretty much right where I’d hit it and it was looking at me. I stood there for maybe 5 to 7 seconds and then it took one or two little pounces towards me, perked its ears up, and started walking towards me . . . I fired a warning shot. It didn’t even care; it just sat right there looking at me,” he said.

“At that point it was between 10 to 15 feet away and I just made a judgement call and had to put

it down . . . It started lunging and coming towards me and at that point I was just like ‘OK, this thing is obviously a problem.’”

He said he immediately reported the incident to local police and the BC Conservation Officer Service (CO).

Ucluelet RCMP detachment commander Sgt. Jeff Swann told the Westerly on Monday that police had received several reports of dangerous cougar activity around Salmon Beach prior to the July 2 incident.

Swann said under ideal condi-tions a person who spots a pred-ator would contact local RCMP and CO rather than deal with the animal themselves but in Hanson’s case the shooting was justified.

“By all accounts, from what we’ve heard, it was a safe loca-tion where the shots were fired and there were other attempts to scare off the animal,” he said.

“In this instance, it sounds like was everything was done proper-ly...The individual had his proper licenses—Possession Acquisition License (PAL)—to be in posses-sion of firearms and it sounds like it was all fully justified.”

Hanson said the cougar was small and appeared malnourished.

“It was obviously really hun-gry,” he said.

Tofi no to offer free shuttles in summerANDREW BAILEY WESTERLY NEWS

In Tofino, everybody rides for free. For the second year in a row, Tofino’s summer shuttle riders can get on board free of charge.

The service offers locals and visitors hourly trips from down-town to Cox Bay between 11 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. with stops at beach-es and shops along the way.

The district kicked off its sum-mer shuttle program in 2007 in an effort to help tourists and locals explore Tofino’s beach-es and shopping experiences while cutting down on parking congestion.

Shuttle riders were initially charged $2 per ride but this charge was nixed last year to motivate a boost in ridership.

This motivation rang true as, according to a report from Tofino’s manager of RMI ser-vices April Froment, 2014’s ridership shot up by about 160 per cent. The report suggests 4,264 people rode the shuttle in 2012, followed by 4,563 in 2013, but last year’s total ballooned to 11,785 with 3,320 locals and 8,465 tourists taking advantage of the free ride.

YURI KAGEYAMA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TOKYO — To illustrate his vision for a turnaround at recall-slammed Honda, Takahiro Hachigo, the new chief execu-tive, showed video footage set to a light-hearted 50s-style rock music of happy people with Hon-da products, like a lawn mower and the Asimo walking robot.

But that kind of almost nostal-gic look back was close to sum-marizing what he offered.

“I believe in the power of Hon-da people,” he told a packed news conference at Honda Motor Co.’s Tokyo headquarters Monday, after his appointment as CEO and president was approved by shareholders and the company board.

Honda’s brand image has suf-fered after quality lapses for popular vehicles like the Fit hybrid in Japan as well as huge recall on a global level for defect-ive Takata air bags. Although many of the world’s automakers are affected by the recalls, Honda has been hardest hit because it relies heavily on Takata. The company’s recalls linked to Taka-ta have ballooned by 20 million globally.

Hachigo promised to take more time in product development, bring his employees together as a team and improve communica-tion within the company, to avoid the recurrence of quality lapses that have led to shrinking profits at the Japanese automaker.

Honda’s profit for the fiscal year ended in March dipped near-ly 9 per cent, offsetting the boost from a cheap yen and healthy vehicle sales. Honda’s recent crisis has been so serious top executives have taken pay cuts.

Analysts say they are waiting on a revival plan, and many unknowns remain on how the Takata recalls might be resolved, and what that might do to an ail-ing Honda.

The cause has not yet been pin-pointed for the air bags that can explode with too much force and spew shrapnel into the vehicle. The problem has been suspected in at least eight fatalities and 100 injuries. Massive recall efforts are underway to keep drivers safe.

Hachigo reiterated that Honda had no immediate plans to finan-cially help Takata. Honda has a 1.2 per cent stake in Takata, which has sunk into losses over the recalls.

Hachigo’s promise to turn the company around centred on raising the efficiency of global

manufacturing and delivering on what he called “Honda-like” products. But it was a little short on specifics.

Reporters peppered him with questions: Isn’t Honda falling behind in ecological vehicles? Shouldn’t Honda be more pas-sionate about F-1 racing? Why isn’t Honda bringing out totally unique auto products that utilize Asimo technology? What exactly is a Honda-like product, anyway?

Hachigo, an engineer who has worked in the U.S. as well as China, had answers for each

question.For instance, he talked about

shipping of the Fit subcompact made in Japan to overseas mar-kets. And he gave the remodeled Civic as an example of a Hon-da-like product.

Both are not startlingly new ideas. And he kept returning to the themes of greater region-al co-ordination and better communication.

He declined to give numerical goals, acknowledging that the previous one, announced by his predecessor, of reaching a global

production scale of 6 million vehicles, would not be attained in the current fiscal year, which ends March 2016.

Hachigo, who joined Honda in 1982, pointed to his career as showing the way for a turnaround.

He noted he has tried to listen to workers on the ground, and that’s critical in doing product development correctly, he said.

In the late 1990s, he was involved in the successful intro-duction of the Odyssey minivan in North America, manufactur-

ing the model at a new plant in Canada. He began his career in the research and development section, and was one of the main engineers who worked on the second-generation CR-V sport-utility vehicle for world-wide markets in 2001.

He told reporters the S660 sports car and the HondaJet business jet embody the Honda “dream.”

“I love Honda, and I grew up in Honda,” Hachigo said in his slow purposeful delivery. “I want to give back to Honda.”

Fiat 500X offers adult size, but youthful styleTERRY BOX DALLAS MORNING NEWS

Maybe you long for the shrieks of a rich red Ferrari but live with the humdrum thrum of a silver Sentra.

You crave fast, furious and sleek and get 13-inch wheels, 35 miles per gallon and mouse-fur seats.

Life loves a good joke, doesn’t it?

On Saturdays, when you should be howling down the Autostrada with luscious Lola, you shuffle between a windy soccer field and dusty softball diamond with your weary significant other.

And at the end of the day, an overgrown lawn, two cranky kids and Red Lobster await you. (Savor those sips of iced tea like they were fine white wine, Bub.)

But, hey, I can at least get you a date with a distant cousin of the Ferrari, the 2016 Fiat 500X — the jaunty, stylish Viagra-mobile from one of television’s funniest commercials.

Laugh if you will at the thought of a 180-horsepower Fer-rari substitute, but Fiat’s spicy new crossover may be the best

vehicle the extremely Italian automaker builds.

For better or worse, it also shines as Fiat’s most mainstream

offering — though that’s a bit like saying pizza contains most of the essential food groups.

As you may recall, Fiat re-en-

tered the U.S. five years ago with the tiny 500 coupe, a modern rendition of the beloved Cin-quecento that has been banging around in Europe for decades, still looking as if it had strayed from a circus.

Probably way too small for most Americans, the 500 was joined a couple of years ago by the 500L, a swollen, profoundly clumsy-looking four-door version of the 500.

That, too, seemed far outside our groove.

But stand back and take a good look at the X.

We can probably thank immensely American Jeep for the X’s fine proportions, though the styling is all Fiat.

The X shares a platform with the new Jeep Renegade and emerges as the more alluring, better-dressed of the two.

Moreover, while both roll on the same global platform from Fiat Chrysler, the X feels distinctly different from the Renegade.

The “Trekking Plus” model I had recently glowed in a sort of University of Texas Longhorn shade of orange that Fiat calls

Arancio. It seemed surprisingly taut, something I would not say about many modern cute-con-scious Fiats.

Eighteen-inch wheels wrapped with meaty 235/45 tires occupied the far corners of the X’s body, giving it an aggressive stance that looked more American than European.

Up front, the X broadcast “dif-ferent” in a familiar Fiat sort of way.

Large oval-shaped Fiat 500-style headlamps protruded from a grille that curved defiantly into the wind, sporting only one pol-ished bar.

Beneath it, a swept-back bump-er looked like some sort of styl-ized off-road skid-plate.

Meanwhile, a short, broad hood bumped into a large windshield tempered some by a gracefully curved top.

As you might expect in a com-pact crossover of limited length, the doors took up most of the X’s lightly curved sides, and a hatch-back added some utility.

A crisp character line down low made the slightly thick crossover seem leaner.

The 2016 Fiat 500X runs on a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with 180 horsepower. [TNS]

Canadian rock band coming to Port Alberni on Tuesday at 8

Smith returns to Char’sALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

Most likely you’ve seen Sarah Smith before. As lead singer for Canadian rock band The Joys she earned international star-dom, performed with the likes of Bif Naked, The Trews, Sam Roberts and Bedouin Sound-clash. The Joys catapulted them-selves all over the map and rode the radio waves across North America.

Now Sarah Smith has gone solo. Proving that her power-house vocal talent needs no accompaniment with her debut album Stronger Now, Sarah is

killing it on her own! Strong-er Now, her debut solo CD, was produced by Grammy and Juno winning Producer, Kevin Doyle (Alannah Myles, Ann Murray).

The positively catchy single, Shine Bright, gained radio play across Canada and helped her to

win numerous awards. “With a voice that is often, in

fact almost always, compared to Bonnie Raitt, Melissa Etheridge, or Janis Joplin, Smith makes you want to rock out and at the same time recharges your heart and soul.”

The Joys will be playing at Port Alberni concert venue Char’s Landing on Tuesday at 8 p.m.

Alberni group to play in home cityALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

Port Alberni’s Kevin Falkenberg and Shanny Michele have been touring the world sharing music for the better part of the last four years. They have recently returned home to Vancouver Island to record some of their new writings and lay in the green green grass of home.

Robert ‘Big Bobby’ Francis is truly long, loose and full of blues. Bobby has been playing the seediest bars with the seediest brothers this side of the Rockies since the days of his mentor Stevie Ray Vaughn. He and Kevin have been writing and recording together for almost ten years and their bond is seen and felt on and off the stage.

As a group the three amigos have written a foot stompin’, hand clappin’, beer swillin’ collection of songs and it’s clear that they love nothing more than to play them for the people.

The show is on Saturday at Char’s Landing from 8 to 11 p.m. and is part of the , Dance - Los Borra-chos Canadian Concert Series

‘Radioactive’ song makes diamond statusTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Imagine Dragons’ Radioactive is the longest-running song in the history of the Billboard charts, and it continues to reach new heights: It has hit diamond status.

The Recording Industry Association of America said Tuesday that Radioactive joins Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance, Justin Bieber’s Baby and Eminem’s Love the Way You Lie and Not Afraid as a digital diamond success. Elton John’s Candle in the Wind/The Way You Look Tonight is the only physical sin-gle to accomplish that feat.

COMMUNITY THURSDAY, JULY 9, 2015 | ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES | 3B

Port Alberni will rise like the Phoenix from the ashes

Criticism is valuable if done right

Port Alberni’s strength only amplifies with adversity. The ‘Community With A

Heart’ implements an instantan-eous wraparound approach when times get tough. This week has been one for the history books, with Dog Mountain engulfed in flames and the community blan-keted with an eerie orange haze. Sunday was full of panic and confusion at most and a sense of unnameable unease at least. I was reminded of the Yeats quote: “Things fall apart, the centre cannot hold”.

Despite the tide of flames turning against us, Port Alberni fiercely held on and unleashed a multi-faceted campaign. We are not only quelling the fire with brave boots on the ground, but also attracting attention to our dethroned sacred cow: The Water Bombers. The juxtaposition of a decom-missioned bomber sitting amidst a sea of orange haze was the epitome of irony. A barrage of amateur photos, info updates and calls on the BC Government to bring back the Bombers made all the dif-ference. Mainstream media cherry-picked the best images from intrepid locals and made national headlines. Social Media makes reporting a par-

ticipatory event. Port Alberni has a loud collective voice-- both online and offline-- that will not allow itself to remain unheard. Heck, one of my own #DogMountainInferno Facebook posts was shared 550 times and viewed by 54,000 people. Impressive stats.

On a related note, Jolleen Dick has hosted a book club on “Daring Greatly” by Brene Brown, which wraps up this week. Its premise is that we need to be willing to be vulnerable and reclaim and re-tell our stories to be able to move forward in a positive way. It takes tremendous courage to dare greatly to be seen and to be heard. The titular quote from the book is by Teddy Roosevelt and resonates with Port Alberni’s current situation: “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The

credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly…and who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at

least fails while daring greatly”. Let’s continue daring greatly

to be seen and to be heard. It’s working.

Port Alberni will rise like the Phoenix from the ashes. We always do.

The word ‘criticism’ tends to evoke an emotional response in most people. That’s understandable to an

extent, since some folks do use criticism as an excuse to abuse their authority and belittle others. Even when the fault-finder is less harsh and their concerns are valid, no one truly enjoys losing face… which is why it’s extra important to use sensitivity and tact when pointing out a co-worker’s shortcomings.

An interesting point about criti-cism is that many of us dread giving it almost as much as taking it. To that end, a first step in delivering criticism is to consider the impetus behind it. The purpose of “construct-ive” criticism is exactly that -- to help, rather than to hurt or humili-ate. If it’s hard to make that distinc-tion, ask yourself whether there’s a real issue that needs resolving, or whether you’re simply seeking to make yourself look better. If you’re pleased by the prospect of criticizing someone, that’s a bad sign; if you’re at least a little uncomfortable, the criticism is probably valid and safe to deliver.

Try putting yourself in the other person’s shoes. If you had made the same mistake, how would you want to be treated? Respect is the starting point to making criti-cism constructive, fair, and humane. Being respectful also means careful-ly choosing the venue for delivering the criticism. Calling someone down in front of their co-workers is gen-erally inappropriate and unprofes-sional. You should take the individ-ual aside and deal with the matter privately, allowing them to preserve their pride and self-esteem.

A second consideration is whether the criticism is really worth the effort. Analyze the situation to

determine which issues genuinely bear addressing. Then decide which of these is the most important and deal with it first, saving the rest for another time. Since our instinctive reaction to criticism is defensive-ness, we need time to withdraw and recover our strength before we’re ready for a second round. Bom-barding someone with a whole slew of criticisms at once is ineffective (and arguably cruel), since they’ll be too busy licking their wounds to hear anything beyond your first sen-tence or two.

To counter the sting of criti-cism, it helps to balance negatives with positives. One admirable approach is “the sandwich treat-ment,” in which criticism is preced-ed with honest praise and followed with encouragement. An example: “Benedict, I’ve always admired how thorough you are in your cleaning. We’ve had one complaint recently from Ms. Winterbourne that you didn’t clean the mirrors and the tub in her main bathroom. Can we talk about this? It’s the first concern I’ve heard about your work, so I’m sure we can resolve it quickly and it won’t be repeated.”

I’ve run out of room for today, so I’ll pick up next week with more on administering, and swallowing, the bitter medicine called Criticism.

Naesgaard: start your day cooking with healthy herbsHELGIE NAESGAARD FOR THE TIMES

It’s easy to get into a rut with food, especially at breakfast. Many of us once started the day with a cup of coffee and a bowl of cereal. That changed as the public realized that their cereal box generally contained an abun-dance of sugary carbs. Going out for breakfast, many will order a plate of eggs, bacon and hash browns with toast.

Add a generous dose of ketch-up and you’ve got a dish that’ll generously supply you with a day’s worth of carbs and animal fat. This would probably destroy most sensible eating plans except

perhaps the Atkins diet. It’s a bit messy to fix this clas-

sic plate at home, so if I’m at a restaurant for breakfast this is certainly a tempting option. It even seems more nutritious than the waffles smothered in whipped cream, syrup and a few strawberries.

However I’m been attempting to eat healthier. And so some time ago while visiting friends at Whistler, that pricey yuppie resort town, they suggested we start the day off at a bistro which served healthy creative breakfasts.

One dish labeled as “Healthy Hash” consisted of sautéed

butternut squash, cherry toma-toes, roasted peppers, red onions and kale topped with 2 poached eggs and sundried tomato pesto.

Their free run eggs benedicts included options of tomato, avocado & aged cheddar; sau-téed spinach & goat cheese; BC smoked salmon & crispy capers and BC Dungeness crab.

The menu extended far beyond these offering and did include a couple of decadent items, for example: a caramelized banana and chocolate, stuffed French toast with Canadian maple syrup.

I’m proud to say I started that day off on “healthy hash” and

this inspired me to get somewhat more creative in my cookery at home.

I now rarely scramble eggs with oil. I simply poach them in water.

I might pick up some healthy carbs by parking the egg on a slice of heavy rye or bread that contains maybe 21 varieties of whole grain. I might top the eggs with a couple of paper thin slices of aged or smoked cheese; not a lot of fat, but a whole lot of flavour.

I might add half an avocado, topped with a bit of salsa or a vinaigrette dressing. I might simply microwave some greens for my dish, usually spinach, but

perhaps Swiss chard, beet greens or kale, or a combination.

I may skip the bread and instead add protein, carbs and fibre by combining a mixture of beans with salsa, tomato sauce or vinaigrette dressing. I might add seafood such as smoked oysters, salmon, or because I’m somewhat Scandinavian, pickled herring. I might include a sautéd assortment of onions, peppers, mushrooms and tomatoes.

I might garnish with slices of sweet red peppers, some richly flavoured cherry tomatoes, and a couple of whatever olives I have on hand. I could add a few rasp-berries, strawberries, blueberries or slices of peach, nectarine or banana.

However in addition to what-ever I’m inspired to add to my egg, during the summer, I will always sprinkle my dish with an eclectic assortment of freshly chopped herbs from the pots growing on our deck.

For eggs I go easy on the rose-mary, oregano, sage, stevia and mint.

If I chop these herbs fine enough they’re barely noticeable, but occasionally I’ll detect their flavour and be quite pleased about that.

I’m more generous with basil, parsley, tarragon, lovage, chives, baby dill and cilantro because I prefer their raw flavour. Of this last group, I tend to pick more of what’s prolific and at present its basil that dominates.

Herbs are easy to grow, don’t take up much space and make you feel like a French chef, with your own “potager” garden.

TODAY’S CROSSWORD

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green

PREVIOUS PUZZLE

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Put your best foot forward, and remain optimistic. A challenging associate who tends to have a bit of an attitude is not news to you. Express that you are making solid choices, and also be flexible with a changing situation. Tonight: Be more forthright about shared funds.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)You could feel a bit out of sorts as you try to switch gears. Keep your mind on what you need to do in order to manifest more of your desires. Don’t hesitate to throw your thoughts and feelings into the mix. Tonight: Let your mind relax to a good movie.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Use the earlier part of the day for a heartfelt pleasure. Someone will manifest more of what you want. Listen to what you are hearing, but understand that you don’t need to internalize it. A request from a friend could make you feel uncomfortable. Tonight: Not to be found.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)You are on top of your game, and others seem to understand that

you know what you are doing. Your actions are likely to be greeted with success. Listen to what is being shared. You will be much happier with more support. Tonight: Touch base with a loved one.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)Remain upbeat. How you visualize a situation might be much differ-ent from how others see it. You come from a different space and are able to detach from the here and now. As a result, your per-spective is unique. Return mes-sages early in the day. Tonight: Mosey on home.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)You could be looking at making a major change. Travel might be on the horizon. Your perspective is likely to change if you decide to visit far-off places. You also will be able to accept others’ differ-ences more easily. Tonight: Try something totally new.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)One-on-one relating continues to be the way to go. You might feel as if there is a major difference in opinion regarding what goes on. Listen to needed feedback from

someone you respect. Do more to stay on top of a personal mat-ter. Tonight: Togetherness is the theme.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)You could be tired and with-drawn. You might not be sure which direction you should head in. Understand what makes this a different situation, and allow someone you respect to run it. You will achieve a lot more than you originally thought possible. Tonight: Where people are.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)Others find you to be irresistible and full of fun. At some point, you will realize that you have forgot-ten to run an important errand. Once you shift gears, you will make this a priority. You might want to wait several days to nego-tiate a money matter. Tonight: Ever playful.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)You might want to rethink a situ-ation more carefully in order to move forward. Someone you care about enormously will let you know where he or she is coming from. Think carefully before you act; you will find a better way to get where you need to go. Tonight: Happy at home.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)You’ll want to do something in a simpler way than you have in the past. Make calls and be brief in how you deal with others. You could feel a bit intimidated by a situation. You might be up for a change of pace. Deal with a per-sonal matter as soon as possible. Tonight: Make it cozy.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Keep a conversation moving, and remain sure of yourself. Your abil-ity to get past a problem emerges. Do your best to stay centered. Money matters could be more positive than you thought they would be. Be ready to negotiate. Tonight: Catch up on some gossip.

Clark goes to Pemberton fi resTHE CANADIAN PRESS

PEMBERTON — Firefighters battling the flames in British Columbia’s forests are playing a dangerous game with an opponent that doesn’t play by the rules, said Premier Christy Clark.

The premier was in Pemberton, B.C., on Wednesday, a small com-munity east of the Elaho blaze. The fire, at 200 square kilometres, is one of the largest in the prov-ince and B.C.’s Wildfire Service said it is burning uncontained because it’s generating too much smoke for aircraft to fight.

Fire information officer Kevin Skrepnek said about 190 wildfires are burning around the province, 31 of those started on Tuesday alone. Clark told reporters the gov-ernment will spend what’s needed to fight the flames and call upon the necessary resources, even if that means going around the world.

“You know I was saying to one of

the guys, ’fighting fires, fighting these kinds of fires is like playing a chess game,”’ she said.

“’You’ve got to figure out the people that you need, the resour-ces that you need, have them deployed in the right spot. The difference is, when you are playing a chess game with a forest fire, your opponent cheats. They don’t play by the rules and that’s the problem that these brave men and women are facing every day.”’

Clark also referred to the three-square-kilometre fire burning north of the Sunshine Coast com-munity of Sechelt that claimed the life of a 60-year-old man on Sunday. Logger John Phare was struck and killed by a falling tree.

“We should all be really grate-ful for what they are doing,” she said of the firefighters. “They are blackened and dirty and sweaty and they’re very much in harms way every minute of the day and they’re doing that for all of us in the province.”

Greece looks for three-year aid programDeadline for debt-stricken country’s plan just hours away while banking system teeters near the edgeELENA BECATOROS AND JAMEY KEATEN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATHENS, Greece — With a dead-line just hours away to come up with a detailed economic reform plan, Greece requested a new three-year rescue from its European partners Wednesday as signs grew its economy was sliding toward free-fall without an urgently needed bailout.

As its banking system teetered near the edge, the government extended bank closures into next week, while international credit-ors were in open disagreement over whether to award the coun-try debt relief — with Germany at odds with the International Monetary Fund.

Without a deal, Greece faces an almost inevitable collapse of the banking system, which would be the first step for the country to fall out of the euro.

As Thursday’s deadline loomed, the government sought to reassure its European creditors that it would enact tax and pen-sion reforms quickly in exchange for loans from Europe’s bailout fund, the European Stability Mechanism.

In a formal request that was filled with vague promises but short on details, the Greek gov-ernment pledged to “immedi-ately implement a set of meas-ures as early as the beginning of next week” — but did not specify what these were.

After months of fruitless nego-tiations with the Greek govern-ment, the skeptical eurozone creditor states have said they want to see a detailed, cost-ac-counted plan of the reforms by Thursday. That is meant to give enough time to review the plan before all 28 leaders of the full European Union meet on Sun-day in what has been termed as

Greece’s last chance to stay in the euro.

But Greece’s major creditors were hardly in lock-step over what path to take in dealing with the struggling but defiant EU member nation.

IMF chief Christine Lagarde reiterated Wednesday that Greece’s massive debt would need restructuring, something that Germany — Greece’s largest European lender — has resisted.

Speaking in Washington, Lagarde said Greece needed to continue cost-cutting reforms, but added: “The other leg is debt restructuring, which we believe is needed ... for debt sustainability.”

“It well may be that the num-bers may have to be revisited, but our analysis has not changed,” she said of the need for granting Greece better repayment terms.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew added pressure on the Euro-pean lenders, arguing debt relief was needed for a deal — and describing a Greek euro-exit as a “geopolitical mistake.”

“I don’t think any prime min-ister of Greece could sell all the additional fiscal measures, plus the structural reforms that are needed without some sense of what the debt sustain-ability looks like,” he said in Washington.

Earlier Wednesday, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said his country was seeking a deal that would bring a definitive end to his country’s financial crisis. Greece has had two bail-outs from its European partners and the International Monetary Fund since May 2010, totalling 240 billion euros ($260 billion).

“We need to ensure the

medium-term funding of our country with a development and growth program,” Tsipras told lawmakers at the European Par-liament in Strasbourg, France.

Applause rose from left-wing lawmakers in the turbulent chamber when Tsipras said aid to Greece has only helped banks, not ordinary Greeks, as some held up “No” signs to back Greek voters’ rejection of more austerity.

Tsipras insisted he has “no hidden agenda” to drive Greece out of the euro and that last Sunday’s referendum in which Greeks roundly rejected more belt-tightening reforms does not mean a break with Europe.

The head of a conservative group in the parliament, Bel-gium’s Guy Verhofstadt, said he was “furious” at Tsipras’ fail-ure to spell out specifics of his

reform plans.Tsipras said Greece’s troubles

predated his arrival in office in January and condemned the “austerity experiment” his coun-try has endured over the past fiveyears that he blames for spiral-ing unemployment and poverty.

“We demand an agreement with our neighbours, but one that gives us a sign that we are on a long-lasting basis exiting from the crisis — which will demonstrate to us that there is light at the end of the tunnel,” he said.

In Greece, meanwhile, people already struggling with eight days of shuttered banks and limits on money withdrawals learned the finance ministry was extending the closures until next Monday. Greeks cannot take out more than 60 euros ($67) a day from ATMs and are unable to send money abroad, including to pay bills or to stock their businesses, without special permission.

The head of France’s central bank said he feared the “col-lapse” of the Greek economy and “chaos” if Greece doesn’t strike a deal by Sunday.

In unusually strong language, Christian Noyer told Europe-1 radio he predicted “riots” in Greece if no deal is reached. He also indicated the European Cen-tral Bank would effectively pull the plug on its emergency liquid-ity measures for Greek banks if no deal is struck. Highlighting the rising anger with Tsipras, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker had a stark warning for Greece after Tues-day’s eurozone summit.

“We have a Grexit scenario, pre-pared in detail,” he said, appar-ently referring to the situation in which Greece would be forced out of the currency union.

China wants companies to buy securitiesJOE MCDONALD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIJING — China announced a flurry of new moves Wednesday to halt a stock market slide. The result? Another big dive in share prices.

The government told state companies and executives to buy shares, raised the amount of equities insurance companies can hold and promised more credit to finance trading.

Hundreds of companies have halted trading in their stock after emergency measures announced last weekend failed to stop a rout that has dragged down the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index by more than 30 per cent since early June. The Shanghai index lost another 5.9 per cent on Wednesday.
