Beaver Creek property burns; fi refi ghters from 3 departments battle multi-unit blaze

ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

Firefighters from three of Port Alberni’s departments were called in Friday mor-

ning to tackle a multi-unit residential fire in Beaver Creek.

The call came in at 6:25 a.m. of a structure fire on the cor-ner of Pierce Road and Chap-man Avenue.

The two-storey structure was fully ablaze when fire crews arrived.

Twenty-five firefighters from the Port Alberni, Bea-ver Creek and Sproat Lake departments were able to extinguish the blaze and no injuries were reported.

Fire damage was contained

to the front two units with a third unit at the rear left undamaged.

The fire risked spreading to surrounding tinder dry trees.

By about 2 p.m., the prop-erty was turned back to the property owner and firefight-ers left the scene.

The fire was investigated with the assistance of the RCMP and the cause was found to be an electrical arc fault.

Alberni forestry needs raw logs

ERIC PLUMMER ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

Private investment in sawmills has focused on the east side of Vancouver Island, leaving Port Alberni’s once-mighty forestry industry reliant on the shipment of raw logs to keep the local econ-omy afloat.

This month Western Forest Products announced a $28-mil-lion investment in its Duke Point sawmill in Nanaimo, an upgrade that brings automatic grading technology to the facility to boost productivity and cut manufactur-ing costs. Another $2 million in improvements are underway for WFP Ladysmith and Chemainus sawmills.

Western Forest Products is by far Vancouver Island’s largest lumber manufacturer, with seven sawmills on the Island, including two in the Alberni Valley. So far the company’s $125-million capital plan, launched in 2011, has set aside $6.7 million to advance the Alberni Pacific Division sawmill, but additional investments are headed to other communities. In 2013 a $38-million project began to improve the Sultair sawmill in Ladysmith, with another upgrade in the works for WFP’s Cowichan Bay facility.

According to the company’s production numbers from 2014, manufacturing in WFP’s two Ladysmith mills eclipsed the Alberni Valley volumes – which totalled 179 million board feet of lumber – by nearly 98 million board feet. WFP’s Chemainus mill produced 114 million, while the Duke Point facility and Nanaimo Sawmill Division, which closed in December 2014, manufactured 48 million board feet.

The company’s operations in the Capital City are set to increase from their ongoing investments.

“Our harvesting strategies and continued demand for our western red cedar and specialty lumber products allows us to make the needed strategic capital invest-ment at this time,” stated WFP chair Lee Doney in a statement released by the province.

“Forestry plays a vital role in Vancouver Island’s diverse econ-omy,” added Premier Christy Clark in the government release. “Western Forest Products is ensuring jobs stay right here in Nanaimo – jobs people can depend on to raise a family.”

Vintage rail coach gets a faceliftKRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

A small crew of volunteers are working at restoring an old rail coach that once carried passen-gers up and down Vancouver Island.

In virtual disrepair, the 1882 coach has belonged to the West-ern Vancouver Island Indus-trial Heritage Society for more than twenty-five years. With so many other projects taking pre-cedence, it sat in the Society’s centre at the former arena and was used as storage. Now it is getting a facelift, in hopes of bringing back its former classic appearance.

Volunteer Jan Jansma said interest in the project sparked about two years ago. During the antique truck show at the IHS Centre, visitors were curious and started wandering through.

“They thought it was neat, nice and old, so on account of that, Tommy Maher started to get his scrub brush going,” Jans-ma said.

Soon after, Jansma and Fred Raven got involved.

“The plan is to fix it up halfway to show what it used to be like and leave the rest unfinished to show the con-trast,” Jansma said.

Originally, the coach belonged to the Canadian Pacific Railway. When the E & N Railway dis-continued passenger service on Vancouver Island in the early 1950s, it was no longer needed.

Jansma said the director of the rail company acquired it and used it as a summer cabin on his farm. When the family wanted to remove it from the property, it was sent to Ladysmith.

“They used to have a beautiful display of railroad equipment in Ladysmith, but it fell to the wayside, so Port Alberni got it,” Jansma said.

During its time on the rails, the coach was an elegant means of transportation. Rather than benches for passenger seating, it was complete with comfortable vintage chairs and tables. Unique patterns are still embossed on the sides above the windows and fancy cloth, now tattered, was used as finishing on the roof and siding.

It is now a matter of time and elbow grease to bring the fix-ture to life. It was first cleaned up and stripped of paint. The windows had to be removed to repair the framing that had some wood rot.

Jansma plans to rework some old cloth he found in his base-ment to replicate the finish for the walls and roof. It was fabric that the Somass Mill used to put over lumber to protect it from dust and would have been discarded.

“I was going to use it for pic-ture frames, but that never materialized, so we’ll use it for this,” he said.

He is also donating an old spit-toon he purchased for 25 cents

at a garage sale. Jansma’s only concern is com-

ing up with the funds to restore four of the six original chairs that were left. Two are still in good condition, but the rest need complete re-upholstering.

“It will cost about $3,000 to take them all apart and redo the gluing so we have brand new sturdy chairs,” he said.

Jansma said projects like this help maintain the history of the region.

“We travel all over the world and appreciate the old style of living, but sometimes we forget we have a lot of history right here,” he said.

TIMBER, from Page 1

Meanwhile in Port Alberni the forestry industry depends on the export of raw logs to be cut oversees.

The Port Alberni Port Author-ity’s records show that over the first half of this year 29 vessels docked at the city’s berths to collect unmanufactured logs for foreign markets, mostly to China, while just five ships were loaded with lumber cut at sawmills.

In 2014 Port Alberni’s raw log shipments totalled 80 vessels; 13 ships headed across the Pacif-ic Ocean with manufactured lumber. In the same year the volume of raw logs sent from Port Alberni’s shore totalled 783,381 – a number that has dramatically increased over the last decade – while the amount of lumber measured less than 77,000 tonnes.

After witnessing the closure of several local mills in the 1980s and 1990s, former mayor Ken McRae finds the current market situation frustrating. McRae sits on the Timber Export Advisory Committee for the provincial government, and said that local mills can’t compete with the prices Asian customers offer for logs. As oversees markets offer more to buy the region’s harvest than Alberni sawmills, far more local product is being manufactured oversees than in the Valley.

“If a company is selling a log to a sawmill here, and they sell it to China, [China will] pay them 40 per cent more,” said McRae, who noted that the

province earns a tax on each log shipped oversees. “Some of that tax should come back in our communities to support putting in manufacturing plants for lumber.”

While more manufacturing work is being done in foreign mills, the local forestry indus-try has become dependent on raw log shipments, added McRae.

“If they can’t export logs, they won’t log period. There will be zero and they’ll shut down the sawmills,” he said. “And then they’ll lay off all the loggers too.”

“If they can’t export logs, they won’t log period. There will be zero and they’ll shut down the sawmills.”Ken McRae, Timber Export Advisory Committee

Recently, Mike Milke of the Fraser Institute wrote warning once again

against government interfer-ence in wage levels, particularly against a minimum wage. In the past, he has warned against the temptation to raise taxes on the most profitable businesses and the top income-earners.

Higher wages don’t just materialize, he says. They come from a finite (but very large) pool of capital that’s better used to keep the econ-omy growing.

Such warnings are regarded as gospel pretty well every-where in the industrialized world. Everywhere but in the new Alberta.

Meanwhile, the real wage packets of 90 per cent of workers in the U.S. have fall-en for 13 years, according to a Standard and Poor index. Incomes for the 10 per cent have ... well, you know. I doubt Canada’s experience is much different.

Businesses taxes are rock-bottom, everywhere.

So if Milke has things right, we should be living in the best of all possible worlds right now. Just like the mis-informed Dr. Pangloss was always saying in Voltaire’s Candide.

But you don’t need to be an economist to know it’s not true. Rather, there’s an argu-ment to be made that Milke and his many friends have things upside down.

Big profits for big business

do not grow the economy. Rather they grow off the economy. The “economy” is all of us. And if 90 per cent of us have less and less of it every year, that can’t be good.

Recently, a group of experts wrote a discussion paper for the International Monetary Fund. The findings of their exhaustive study were so heretical, they could not be directly attributed to the IMF. So they were released for discussion purposes only.

OK then, let’s discuss.Their basic thesis is a dir-

ect repudiation of that of the Fraser Institute, and all other right-wing think tanks.

Trickle-down economics does not work, the report says. When the rich get richer, they mostly just get richer. They do not invest in ways that benefit the rest of us.

Who knew? We did. Wel-come to the real world.

When the income gap between the powerful and monied minority and the rest of us grows too large, the economy suffers.

Why are corporations sit-ting on mountains of cash, not investing? Because we can’t afford to buy more of their stuff. Essentially, con-sumers are tapped out, so there’s less new profit to be made building more factories to produce more stuff.

I remember being part of the provincial discussion

years ago in Alberta about raising the AISH allowance for the severely handicapped. My argument then – and it’s still the same – is that when you give a poor person a dol-lar, a rich person will have that dollar soon enough.

AISH rates were raised – and lo and behold – landlords raised their rents soon after, making it more profitable to invest in rental housing for everyone. What AISH allow-ance is left after rent is paid (often forwarded to landlords right off the top) didn’t dis-appear, it’s spent.

Business groups worry that raising the minimum wage will hurt their members’ bottom lines and/or hurt employment.

But when people have more money, what do they do with it? They spend it, every cent, as fast as it comes in. The money is taxed in every transaction, and the profits go to the businesses best able to compete for it.

You say higher wages just don’t just materialize? Sure they do. They materialize into the profits of small and large businesses, when con-sumer traffic increases.

That’s why I say trick-le-down economics does work. You just need to invert your view the income pyramid.

All the money in the vast base filters into the hands of the rich and powerful at the apex. Trickle-up economics,

if you need to see it that way.The rich need to be taxed a

fair share, because the social contract needs to be upheld for a stable society to be able to produce a strong consum-er economy.

Income redistribution has become a dirty concept in today’s politics.

But I say – and inter-national studies like that in the IMF agree – that where incomes are more equitable, you have a more stable, happy society. It takes fewer resources to police and sup-press unrest in these places. Upward mobility is more achievable for the smart and the industrious, because the caste system that keeps the poor in their place is weaker.

That’s why, at a certain point, governments need to intervene.

They need to mandate a minimum wage, so that an honest day’s work reflects the honest cost of living for the day.

They need to redistribute a negotiated portion of the top wealth into the vast and com-plex infrastructure of society that makes it possible for wealth to be accrued.

That’s what our new Alberta government seems to be attempting.

Milke and all the right-wing think tankers who speak for the powerful just need to reverse their charts.

Let this be the swan song for Confederate fl agEven far away from the

American deep south the Confederate flag has been

a controversial icon as recently as 2012 when a local restaurant owner painted one on his down-town location.

Criticism was immediate and severe. Many called it racist and intolerant. The hapless res-taurant owner claimed it was merely a symbol representing his southern-style food and independent nature. No one believed him. He eventually painted over the flag and not long after disappeared from the local landscape.

The Confederate flag is back in the news after the killing of

nine African Americans inside a South Carolina church by a racist misfit who used the flag to decorate his white suprema-cist diatribes. In the aftermath U.S. governors in Alabama and South Carolina have ordered the flag removed from state legislatures.

As significantly, major U.S. retailers including Amazon, eBay and Walmart have said they will no longer sell Con-federate flag merchandise. And NASCAR is restating its position that it cannot appear in any official capacity, even though the flags are as com-mon as beer and cowboy boots at NASCAR events. Also sig-

nificant, as soon as headlines began to circulate around the world about the flag’s fall from grace, prices skyrocketed and sales soared. News crews try-ing to film the flags and swag at southern stores were sworn at and threatened.

The flag may be fading from the political and retail stage, but it remains a polarizing force that probably won’t disappear entirely for the fore-seeable future. That’s too bad, because it is indeed a racist icon that deserves to be con-signed to the history books.

How powerful is its appeal? Back in 2012, southern rock music mainstays Lynyrd Sky-

nyrd announced they would stop using the flag because of what it represents. There was enough outrage among its fan base that the band did an about-face. Even today critics of the flag’s sinking status say it’s a monument to southern heritage and independence.

No doubt it was 150 years ago. It was the battle flag for a Con-federacy that fought against its northern brothers for a host of reasons — including being allowed to continue to own slaves. But the flag’s meaning went much deeper than that.

It’s what has happened since that makes the flag so polariz-ing. Racists of all kinds — Ku

Klux Klan adherents among them — adopted it as their official emblem. If it ever had redeeming qualities and mean-ing, they have been co-opted by individuals and groups who use the stars and bars as a weapon of hatred. Hitler’s swastika didn’t start out as an icon of evil. Its name trans-lated means good fortune or well-being and it was first used in ancient Eurasia. The Nazis co-opted and spoiled that herit-age, just as racists did with the Confederate flag. Good riddance.

Society’s solution lies in income redistribution

NEIL DAVIDSON THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER – The after-math of Canada’s exit from the Women’s World Cup was gut-wrenching.

Captain Christine Sinclair, who had strapped the team on her back and tried to carry it to the final four, was in tears as she needlessly apologized to coach John Herdman fol-lowing Canada’s 2-1 quar-ter-final loss to England.

Teenage defender Kadeisha Buchanan, who deserves to be on the tournament all-star team, sobbed as she knelt on the field at B.C. Place Stadium.

“They gave their best. And our best just wasn’t good enough,” said Herdman.

It was a moment of pub-lic clarity from a charis-matic and talented coach who pulls every string on the Canadian team.

There is little unscripted from Herdman. But he was gutted Saturday night.

“I’m a bit emotional at the minute,” he confessed.

Goals conceded in the 11th and 14th minutes did eighth-ranked Canada in. Lack of offence, a chron-ic problem, prevented a comeback although Sinclair took advantage of a goalkeeping gaffe to pull Canada within one in the 42nd minute.

Herdman accepted blame for the second goal, a set piece that saw England’s Lucy Bronze take advan-tage of fullback Allysha Chapman’s lack of height. England captain Steph Houghton said later it was a matchup her team had targeted.

The first goal came off a handling error by centre

back Lauren Sesselmann.“You play at this level

(and) what’s going to win a match, it’s an error like that or a set piece and we got done in both situa-tions,” said Herdman.

When a reporter trying to get a comment on Ses-selmann’s play by asking about the “girl who made the mistake tonight,” Herd-man replied: “Which one?”

“There was a few mis-takes tonight,” he said.

His point was that Sessel-mann was not the villain of the piece.

Herdman was forced to defend his lineup selections, saying the team’s leadership had endorsed it. Still he drew criticism from Fox TV commentators.

“There’s a coach who feels that he’s such a good motivator that he can make his players better than they sometimes are. I think he got this one wrong,” said former U.S. international Eric Wynalda.

“He has mismanaged this World Cup for his team,” added former Canadian international Christine Latham.

If anything Herdman can be accused of micro-man-aging a squad limited in depth and hampered by injury. Players like Sophie Schmidt (hip), Buchanan (abdominal sprain) and Chapman (oblique) were playing through pain.

But the bottom line is his players love him and Herdman has put women’s soccer on the map in this country.

He acknowledges there is more work to be done.

“This is where we’re at,” said Herdman when asked if we had seen the best of

Canada at the tournament.Herdman pointed to

Canada’s previous coach-ing turnover, saying that meant there was no 10-year master plan to have players peak at this tournament.

“But we did it. Our coun-try got behind us, they’ve had a great time, great experience. and there’s going to be a new gener-ation of women, players, coaches that have been motivated by what they’ve seen ... So I’m absolutely clear that, whatever hap-pened, we needed to get to the knockout rounds, we needed to get to the quarter-finals.

“If we’d went all the way, we were punching well above our weight but I believe this team had the spirit to do it.”

The team that had inspired Canada with its 2012 Olympic bronze medal run showed it still had the nation’s heart. The Can-adian women drew 241,904 fans to their five tourna-ment games and each one was a love-in.

While the numbers say exiting in the quar-ter-finals is about right for No. 8 Canada, the World Cup draw was very benign for the hosts. Finishing first in a group with the 12th-ranked Netherlands, No. 16 China and No. 17 New Zealand earned Canada a date with No. 19 Switzerland.

Canada, a cut below elite teams like Germany, France, Japan, and the U.S., was never going to win the tournament. But the semifinals beckoned given the draw.

No. 6 England repre-sented Canada’s first high-er-ranked opponent.

Fans can wish retired Bulldogs player well with greeting cardALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

Alberni Valley Bulldogs fans will have two oppor-tunities to wish forward Tyler Povelofskie farewell.

“Since the announcement of Tyler Povelofskie’s retirement from hockey and his decision to pursue a heavy duty/transport mechanic trade, the num-ber of people wishing Pove-lofskie all the best in his new endeavour has been overwhelming and touch-ing,” the local B.C. Hockey League club announced on Friday.

As a result, the Alberni Valley Bulldogs are pro-viding two opportunities for members of the com-munity and Bulldogs’ fans to wish Povelofskie all the best.

The Bulldogs will have a greeting card available at the Bulldogs front office for members of the commun-ity and fans to come by and sign. The greeting card will be available Tuesday, June 30th and Thursday, July 2nd at the Bulldogs’ front office between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. on both days.

The other way people

will be able to communi-cate their well-wishes if they can’t make it to the Bulldogs office is to bring their own card or message to the Canada Day Parade

and hand it to one of the Bulldogs members as they go by.

“This is just one example of the connection that the Alberni Valley Bulldogs’ players and staff have with our fans and the Alberni Valley community,” said Bulldogs’ assistant coach and assistant general manager Adam Hayduk. “It’s great that so many people want to wish Tyler well and just another rea-sonswhy Alberni Valley Bulldogs fans are known as being the best fans in the BCHL.”

Nation shows support for soccer teamTHE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — From Prime Minister Stephen Harper to actor Ryan Rey-nolds, Canadians showed their support for their women’s soccer team in the wake of its quarter-final exit from the Women’s World Cup.

“@CanadaSoccerEN played hard & showed a lot of heart tonight & over the past few weeks. You’ve made Canada proud,” Harp-

er tweeted after Canada’s 2–1 quarter-final loss to Eng-land on Saturday.

“So proud of this team,” echoed Reynolds.

Canadian players also took to social media to thank Canadians for their support.

“This one hurts,” said veteran fullback Rhian Wil-kinson. “Thank you every-one for your support and encouragement along the way, you have no idea how much it has meant.”

“The dream is over but the

memories will live on for-ever,” said defender Marie-Eve Nault. “Thank you Canada for your support throughout this incredible journey!”

“Thank you Canada,” add-ed veteran midfielder Diana Matheson.

“Thank you Vancouver, thank you Canada,” said young midfielder Ashley Lawrence. “Wouldn’t change a thing about this experience. Onward and upwards.”

Canadian women feel pain of loss, hopeful for future

SCOREBOARD

Mariners suffer 3-2 loss to AngelsJOE RESNICK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Kole Calhoun scored the winning run on a wild pitch by Tom Wilhelmsen in the 10th inning after Albert Pujols grounded into a bases-loaded double play against a five-man infield, and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Seattle Mariners 3-2 on Sunday.

Johnny Giavotella led off the 10th with a line-drive single off the glove of Wilhelmsen (1-2). Calhoun followed with a hit-and-run single that put runners at the corners, and Mike Trout was intentionally walked for the second straight time.

Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon then motioned left fielder Dustin Ackley in for a five-man infield, and Pujols grounded into a 6-2-3 double play started by shortstop Brad Miller.

But Wilhelmsen uncorked his first wild pitch of the season on a full count with runners at second and third and rookie Kyle Kubitza at the plate.

Trevor Gott (1-0) earned his first major league victory with a perfect 10th inning.

The Angels, held to one hit by Felix Hernandez over the first six innings, tied the score in the seventh with an RBI single by pinch-hitter Erick Aybar against Mark Lowe. Charlie Furbush hit David Freese with a pitch to open the inning.

Calhoun put Los Angeles ahead 2-1 in the eighth with an RBI single off Joe Beimel, but closer Huston Street gave up Kyle Seager’s 12th homer in the ninth after striking out Robinson Cano and retiring Nelson Cruz. The save was the third in 24 opportunities this season for Street.

Angels lefty Hector Santiago retired his first 10 batters before giving up a one-out single in the fourth to Franklin Gutierrez, a walk to Cano and an RBI double by Cruz.

Hernandez issued a leadoff walk in the sixth to Calhoun, then got a visit from McClendon with a 2-0 count on Trout, who grounded into a double play on a 3-0 delivery before Pujols flied out on Hernandez’s 96th and final pitch.

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green

PREVIOUS PUZZLE

ARIES (March 21-April 19)Having a positive attitude often helps, and certainly you start the day with one. Nevertheless, you might experience some discom-fort regarding your home and/or those you live with. Be instinctive with your decisions. Tonight: Get a good night’s sleep.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)You are likely to say exactly what you think. Others could be uncom-fortable with this new bluntness, but it will help you let a key per-son know where you are coming from. Know that he or she might not be as agreeable as you would like. Tonight: Confusion surrounds a situation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Others come forward with suggestions. Honor a change between you and someone you care about. You could feel out of step with this person. Determine what will be necessary to get past an issue. Tonight: You will want to be footloose and fancy free, but a responsibility calls.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)You are more irritable than you

might realize; even if your words are not sharp, your tone or facial expressions will be. If you are not pleased with a situation, sit down and have a calm discussion. As a result, the problem could be worked out. Tonight: A must appearance.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)Your playfulness and creativity reflect much more about you than you realize. How you handle a changeable matter could make or break a situation. Play it low-key and say little. Understand what is going on around you. Tonight: Get some extra downtime.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Your creativity remains high because of pressure from a fam-ily member. You might want to find solutions. You could feel as if you cannot be stopped. Zero in on what you want. Listen to sug-gestions, but don’t feel as if you must follow them. Tonight: Head home early.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)Your words might not have the effect you thought they would. Perhaps you have made a mis-

calculation or someone has mis-understood the meaning of your thoughts. Stay in touch with your desires, and don’t give away too much. Tonight: Out till the wee hours.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)Reach out to someone for his or her feedback. Financial matters seem to be at the base of the issue. You could be taken aback by someone’s anger. Listen to what is suggested, and don’t react to the tone of his or her voice. Tonight: Put on a favorite piece of music.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)You might be energized, but you will feel discomfort when deal-ing with a certain person on an individual level. You could sense some resistance. Today, you are likely to experience some confu-sion, whether it is with this person or someone else. Tonight: As you like it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)How a partner or friend presents a situation could be a lot different from how it is in reality. Under-stand what is happening with this person, but don’t hesitate to address your less-than-positive feelings. Open up to new informa-tion. Tonight: Early to bed.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)Friendship remains important to you. The challenge might be how to juggle friends with what you must do right now. Know that you can say “no.” You also don’t need to address an issue unrelated to your friends. Set stronger boundaries. Tonight: Where your friends are.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)You might not realize how much you put someone on a pedestal and the influence this person has on your mood. Allow your useful and creative ideas to come out in order to help a loved one find a better solution; he or she will be very grateful. Tonight: Order in.

An unmanned SpaceX rocket carrying supplies to the Inter-national Space Station broke apart Sunday shortly after liftoff. It was a severe blow to NASA, the third cargo mission to fail in eight months.

The accident happened about 2 1/2 minutes into the flight from Cape Canaveral, Florida. A bil-lowing white cloud emerged in the sky, growing bigger and bigger, then fiery plumes shot out. Pieces of the rocket could be seen falling into the Atlantic Ocean like a fire-works display gone wrong.

More than 2,360 kilograms of space station cargo were on board, including the first docking port designed for future commercial crew capsules, a new spacesuit and a water filtration system.

NASA officials said they have enough supplies for the three-per-son crew on board the station to last until October and still plan to send three more crewmembers up in a late July launch. Normally, NASA likes to have a six-month cushion of food and water, but it is now down to four months.

“We’re good from a food and water standpoint,” NASA’s top spaceflight official, William Gerstenmaier said at a press conference.

This puts pressure on another resupply launch set for Friday by Russia, it’s first attempt since los-ing a supply capsule in April.

SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket shat-tered while travelling at 4,670 kph, about 43 kilometres up. Everything seemed to be going well until the

rocket went supersonic.“We appear to have had a launch

vehicle failure,” announced NASA commentator George Diller. Data stopped flowing from the Falcon 9 rocket around 2 minutes and 19 seconds after liftoff, he said.

SpaceX founder and chief exec-utive Elon Musk later said that the pressure got too high in the

liquid-oxygen tank of the rocket’s upper stage.

“That’s all we can say with con-fidence right now,” Musk said via Twitter.

The private company is in charge of the accident investigation, with oversight from the Federal Aviation Administration, which licensed the flight.

The Dragon capsule, which is designed to eventually carry people, still sent signals to the ground after the rocket broke apart, said SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell.

Had astronauts been on board, a still-being tested abort system, would have whisked them away to safety in such a mishap, she said.

Losing this shipment — which included replacements for items lost in the two earlier failed supply flights — was a huge setback for NASA, the U.S. space agency.

“This is a blow to us,” Gersten-maier said, citing the docking port, a spacesuit and considerable sci-entific research that had been on board.

He said there was nothing com-mon among the three accidents, “other than it’s space and it’s diffi-cult to go fly.”

In April, a Russian cargo ship spun out of control and burned up upon re-entry.

And last October, an Orbital Sci-ences Corp. capsule was destroyed in a launch accident in Virginia. Orbital Sciences and SpaceX have NASA contracts to ship cargo.

The seven previous SpaceX sup-ply runs, dating back to 2012, had gone exceedingly well.

The three space station residents were watching the launch live from orbit, including astronaut Scott Kelly.

“Sadly failed,” Kelly said via Twit-ter. “Space is hard.”

NASA Administrator Charles Bolden and other officials stressed that the space station crew is in no immediate trouble.

Greece shutters banks as bailout efforts fall shortELENA BECATOROS AND DEMETRIS NELLAS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATHENS — Greece’s five-year financial crisis took its most dra-matic turn to date Sunday, with the cabinet deciding, after an 8-hour session, that Greek banks would remain shut for six working days and restrictions would be imposed on cash withdrawals.

The Athens Stock Exchange would also not open on Monday, financial sector officials confirmed.

A decree published in the official Government Gazette stipulates banks will not open Monday morning and will remain closed through Monday, July 6. The finance minister could decide to short or extend that period.

Withdrawals from ATM with credit or cash cards will be capped at 60 euros ($66) daily. The decree said ATMs would be working at the latest 12 hours from its publication, meaning cash machines would open by early afternoon, at the latest.

Web banking transactions will be mostly free, allowing people to pay their bills online. However, they cannot move money to accounts abroad.

Credit and bank cards issued abroad can be used at the ATMs with no restrictions. This will benefit foreign visitors to Greece and the tourist industry. Many anx-ious tourists had joined locals at

ATM lines on Sunday, thinking the restrictions would apply to them, as well.

For emergency needs, such as importing medicines or sending remittances abroad, the Greek Treasury was creating a Banking Transactions Approval Committee to examine requests on a case-by-case basis.

The decision to impose capital controls came on the recommenda-tion of the Bank of Greece, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said during a televised address to the nation. Tsipras blamed the Eurogroup, the gathering of the eurozone’s finance ministers, and its decision to reject a request for the bailout program, which expires June 30, to be extended by a few days to allow for the referendum, for the imposition of controls.

Tsipras said he had renewed the extension request.

Tsipras also blamed the European Central Bank’s Sunday decision not to increase the amount of emergency liquidity the lenders

can access from the central bank — meaning they have no way to replenish fast diminishing deposits.

“It is now more than clear that this decision has no other aim than to blackmail the will of the Greek people and prevent the smooth democratic process of the referen-dum,” Tsipras said.

“They will not succeed. These moves will have the exact opposite effect. They will make the Greek people more determined in their choice to reject the unacceptable ... proposals and ultimatums of the creditors,” he said.

The developments have thrown into question Greece’s financial future and continued membership in the 19-nation shared euro curren-cy — and even the European Union.

For the past two days, Greeks have been rushing to ATMs to with-draw money across the country following Tsipras’ sudden week-end decision to call a referendum on creditor proposals for Greek reforms in return for vital bailout funds.

A group of eight young wood ducks were brought to the North

Island Wildlife Recovery Cen-tre after they were found with no parents.

They are just starting to get their first bright green feathers so it will be a treat to watch them grow up.

A mature male wood duck’s plumage outmatches a pea-cock. It’s distinctive facial pat-tern with iridescent green and purple is spectacular as well as its red eye, long green, purple and white crest and burgundy breast. Sadly the female’s attire is brownish to grey.

They have a variety of habi-tats: creeks, rivers, overflow, bottom lands, swamps, marsh-es, beaver and farm ponds.

Although swamps, marsh and overflow areas may provide better habitat than streams, the extensive distribution of streams creates the single most important habitat for breeding birds.

Freshwater wetlands with an abundance of vegetative cover are important habitats in all seasons. Because of the steep topography in the West, nar-row riparian zones along water-ways are important.

Nests are made in tree cav-ities already formed. The female lines it with down taken

from her breast adding more as the clutch nears completion.

The nest cavities may be of three types: an enclosed nest with a side entrance, a bucket style with a top entrance, and a combination of both. The aver-age time of incubation of the eggs is about 30 days.

Fledglings departing from these nests is a spectacular sight. Jumping from a high height these young birds are occasionally stunned when a twig disrupts their fall and causes them to land abnor-mally, but they quickly recover. Usually their fall is softened by the abundance of forest debris.

Immature birds frequent-ly gather in groups after independence from the parent. Young birds disperse short distances from natal wetlands when they are able to fly with the males moving farther than the females.

Negative effects for Wood ducks include pesticide use, hunting, degradation of their habitat and disturbance of the

nests. Man-made nest boxes generally seem to have been beneficial making a positive impact.

We are hopeful this clutch of eight wood ducks will soon be released back into the wild.

Our 30th Anniversary cele-

brations continue with our big birthday party on July 10th. There will be music, birthday cake, bird handlers and much more. If you haven’t been here, this is the day to attend. This is a free entrance day.

Here’s a possible Triv-ial Pursuit question, “What’s the fastest grow-

ing unpaid profession in North America?”

I admit I wouldn’t have known the answer. But, according to the “Family Caregiver Alli-ance,” more than 65.7 million Americans, that’s 29 percent of the population, provide care to a family member, loved one or friend who is ill, disabled or aged. But when does such labour of love trigger burnout anger in the caregiver?

A report from Johns Hopkins University states, “The average unpaid, or informal, caregiver is a 46-year-old female with a full or part-time job who spends about 20 hours a week catering for her mother.”

But for those caring for a loved one older than 65 the average age is 63. Unfortu-nately, one-third of these care-givers are also in poor health.

Another study carried out in Sweden revealed the shocking news that 18 per cent of people older than 75 were involved in the care of others!

For these elderly caregivers this isn’t what they expected to be doing in their golden years. I’m sure while they’re carrying out these arduous daily tasks they must share the thought of the German philosopher Nietz-sche who remarked, “There is no greater misery than to remember happier times”.

The problem with an aging population is that they suffer from a variety of problems. For instance, a Gallup survey revealed that 15 million North Americans are caring for some-one incapacitated by some form of dementia, such as Alz-heimer’s disease.

Millions of others are help-ing family members suffering from cancer, stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease or incapacitated by severe unrelenting arthritic pain.

Sooner or later the demands of time and energy made on some caregivers triggers a reac-tion, similar to the last straw that finally breaks the camel’s back. This crisis occurs when they have neglected their own health for too long.

Caring for others is also a dangerous job. For example, in one study, caregivers age 66 and over had a 63 per cent higher mortality rate than non- caregivers of the same age.

The physical task facing care-givers can be overwhelming. But according to experts it’s the mental toll that is more likely to bring caregivers to their knees. They suffer from loneliness, anxiety, fear of the future, depression and at times anger at the person they’re car-ing for. It’s small wonder that they require more anti-depres-

sants and anti-anxiety drugs than the general population.

So how can caregivers cope with physical and mental stress day after day? First, it’s vital that they don’t put their own health at the bottom of the list. This is a sure formula for Burnout 101.

Family members must keep a wary eye on the caregiver and realize there’s a crisis in the making if they notice them reaching for alcohol, having difficulty concentrat-ing, suffering from insomnia or having thoughts of suicide. This is a time when other family members must share the burden.

Caregivers who remain silent and uncomplaining are quicker to suffer burnout. It’s import-ant for them to “let it out” with a family member, friend, clergy or a counsellor. It’s also pru-dent for them to get some form of exercise daily. And to find time during the day for some-thing they enjoy, whether it be reading a book or watching a movie.

Caregivers must be ready for emergencies. This means trying to plan ahead for the dangers that could occur in the community.

For example, you may live in an area that is prone to sudden snow storms. What will happen at sub-zero temperatures if electrical power shuts down for days?

Others who reside in tornado regions need to plan an escape route and how to handle some-one in a wheelchair. Moreover, even with a plan of action, you won’t get far if the car hasn’t an ample supply of gas.

Caregiving involves so much work and stress it’s no wonder the handler suffers Burnout 101. The bad news is this prob-lem is going to get worse with an aging population.

So far I’ve been lucky that I or family members have not had to face this added stress, another factor that may have added to my longevity!

Burn-out 101 for caregivers Support needed to ensure ‘a vibrant waterfront community’

July 1st is a critical time for Port Alberni’s waterfront future and spin-off economic

prosperity. A new recreational waterfront area on city-owned land (Canal Beach) could be expanded to adjacent city-owned land for increased public access.

This would meet the guidelines of the community’s strategic plan, and also improve the “liveability” qualities of Port Alberni. It would also enhance the economic vital-ity of the city by attracting new residents and help with growth of the residential tax base.

The former plywood mill site is one of Port Alberni’s only water-front lands that is within Port Alberni city’s jurisdiction and is owned by the citizens of the com-munity, the people.

Recently, the city adopted some new criteria for the strategic plan-ning for Port Alberni, including

“acquiring waterfront lands for public access as it becomes avail-able.” The City of Port Alberni’s vision statement centers around the phrase of “a vibrant water-front community.”

The potential expansion of a rec-reational waterfront area in South Port could change the dynamics of what has often been referred to as an industry-dominated town, and help the community move more positively into the future.

Due to the lack of conditions being met with a legal contract for ship-building, the City of Port Alberni can now offer a

more attractive and very eco-nomical option for public access to residents by cancelling the twenty-five-year lease with the Port Authority. This land, which is a Brownfield site, could easily be seeded with grass and offer an expanded waterfront green space park for people.

The funding of a green space has been offered by keen local businesses and other interested groups who see a future vision of a vibrant people’s waterfront.There’s a fork in the road and it’s leading to better health, recreation and economic growth of a different sort for people in Port Alberni’s future. Come to the city council meeting on July 6th to show your support for liveability and the future vibrancy for our city!

What do you have to tell police when you are the subject of a traffic

stop? I’ve often been asked about whether you have to answer the casual conversation at a road check that might include ques-tions like, “Where are you coming from? Where are you going to? How much have you had to drink tonight?” The answer is no, you don’t.

Occasionally I would stop a driv-er who had committed a traffic violation that would roll down their driver’s window half an inch, poke their driver’s licence out and roll the window back up to await service of a ticket. There are a multitude of reasons for doing this, most innocent, but the first

thing that had to come to my mind was that they were trying to hide something and it was my job to find out. It was usually the odour of liquor that the driver did not want wafted in my direction.

I did have one tool at my disposal to force a short conversation. A driver must state his name and address and the name and address of the vehicle’s registered owner when requested to do so by police. This is also useful for what is

known as the Shriver’s Test. Case law has established that these answers, when compared to what is shown on the driver’s licence, strengthens the identification of the driver if they match.

Answers to other questions are optional and it is up to you to decide whether you want to pro-vide the information or not. If you choose not to, state your position politely and request that any docu-ments be returned to you so that you may proceed once the officer has completed his or her inquiries.
