The public needs to play a lar-ger role to prevent conflict with wildlife, says a provincial con-servation officer overseeing the Port Alberni area.
Steve Ackles has seen a decline in reports to the Conservation Officer Service this year, a frus-trating trend that makes wildlife management more difficult in the Alberni Valley.
“We haven’t been receiving any reports,” said Ackles. “People seem to be doing that nowadays, they’re not reporting the sight-ings and there’s nothing we can do about it.”
The issue arose this week after several rumors of a cougar lurk-ing around neighbourhoods in Cherry Creek. Tanya Dudoward was startled to see the full-grown predator as she drove down
Kitsuksis Road near Wednesbury Street Friday evening on the way to pick up her young daughter.
“I had my headlights on and it stopped, it was just sitting there,” she said. “It was a really nice looking animal.”
A report was sent to the con-servation hotline on Monday afternoon of a cougar spotted on Beaver Creek Road near Hills, but more information from the public is needed for officers to determine if wildlife are dangerous.
“It’s extremely important that we get the sightings,” Ackles said. “This year it’s getting quite bad in that we’re not getting the reports until it’s too late for the animal.”
This is what occurred in June when a cougar jumped into a boat on Sproat Lake. The animal had previously attacked a dog and appeared to be starving, said
Ackles. “That was a cougar that definitely had to be removed from the population,” he said.
The large cats frequently move through the Alberni Valley’s wooded areas in search of deer, but they can become a threat to humans if they are forced into desperation by another cougar, added Ackles. Unpredictable behaviour, such as stalking dur-ing the day or lurking around populated areas, brings concerns.
“Cougars are territorial, and if there’s a bigger cougar that’s claimed that territory, a cougar will move out and is kept on the run a lot,” Ackles said.
w“It’ll start looking at domestic livestock as a food source or pets – even in very rare cases start stalking people.”
Although the predators are sel-dom seen, almost 1,000 cougars populate Vancouver Island – the
highest concentration in Canada – regularly hunting near com-munities at the edge of the wil-derness. While reporting is need-ed to prevent the animals from becoming habituated to popu-lated areas, Alberni residents need to understand that cougars have as much of a right to exist in the surrounding wildness as people do to live in communities, said Ackles.
“If people decide they want to live on Vancouver Island, well, cougars live on Vancouver Island and there’s nothing we do or will do about that,” he said.
Wildlife management author-ities encourage the public to report sightings of cougars and other animals that could come into conflict with people to the 1-877-952-7277 hotline.

Warrant out for poachingsuspect
MARTIN WISSMATH ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
A warrant has been issued for the arrest of a man charged with elk poaching, who failed to appear in Port Alberni court on Wednesday.
Wilson Timothy Jack (a.k.a. Timothy Wilson Jack), 49, was scheduled to appear in court facing charges under the B.C. Wildlife Act for hunting wildlife out of season and unlawful possession of dead wildlife.
He failed to appear, and no one appeared on his behalf, said Crown prosecutor Gordon Baines.
“A warrant has been issued for his arrest,” he said.
Insp. Mac Richards, officer in charge of the Port Alberni RCMP, said police who have jurisdiction where the warrant is in effect can arrest Jack. That includes conserva-tion officers, Richards said.
The alleged poaching took place inNovember 2013. The elk was found south of Port Alberni on Nuu-chah-nulth territory.
Jack was scheduled to appear again in Port Alberni court on Sept. 2. He first appeared on Aug. 5 and his case was adjourned as he requested time to consult a defence lawyer. Failing to appear in court is a criminal offence under the code.
Wildlife poaching has been a problem on the West Coast of Vancouver Island in recent years. Ken Watts, vice-president of the Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council, said there has been a wave of elk poaching in the region with at least 23 Roosevelt elk illegally killed since 2013.
When eight elk carcasses were discovered in late 2013, the NTC offered a $25,000 reward for infor-mation leading to an arrest and conviction for poaching.
B.C. Coastal Outfitters (now the Wildlife Stewardship Council) added $5,000 to the award amount with the B.C. Wildlife Federation offering an additional $2,000, CUPE 118 pledging $1,000 and Pearson Kal Tire adding $1,000 for a total rewardof $34,000.

Traffi c closed to a single alternating lane 10 kilometres east of Port Alberni
Multiple vehicle highway collision
ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
A multiple vehicle incident created wreckage on Highway 4 Tuesday afternoon near Port Alberni.
Traffic was closed down to a single lane 10 kilometres east of the city due to an incident that occurred shortly before 4 p.m., according to the province’s roads and highway site Drive BC.
Initial reports from the scene described a collision affecting
at least two vehicles, with an extensively damaged flipped over truck, a displaced camper trailer and what appeared to be a boat that was ejected from the road.
The incident reportedly occured in the eastbound lane heading away from Port Alberni.
Emergency vehicles were on the scene.

Candidates stake their ground after writ drops in Parliament
Election signs up already for early campaign seasonKRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
Shortly after the federal election writ was dropped this month, campaign offices start-ed ordering a supply of signs.
Signs have started popping up beside city streets and private properties but residents are reminded that there are bylaws to go along with them.
Each municipality has its own set of regulations regarding temporary signs, including elec-tion signs.
In Port Alberni, signs are pro-hibited on public right of ways, including city boulevards and public spaces. An exception was made in last year’s municipal election when the city allowed candidates to place signs on city property for the first time.
“There were a large number of candidates so we took the position to allow them on city property as long as they didn’t create safety concerns for ped-estrians or vehicles,” said city clerk, Davina Hartwell.
“This election we will be enforcing the bylaw and they won’t be allowed on city boulevards.”
Despite the large number of candidates last fall, there were no major violations, recalled
city clerk, Davina Hartwell.“Even in last year’s municipal
election, there was a prolific number of candidates on the ballot,” Hartwell said.
“We have never experienced that level of signs. There are fewer this year so I don’t expect it to be an issue.”
Despite the bylaw stating signs can not be erected more than 30 days prior to voting day, Hartwell said that rule is being overlooked.
“Because the writ was dropped so early, I don’t think we will take any position with that, unless they start appearing on city property,” she said.
Hartwell said each municipal-ity adopts its own bylaws and position on placement of signs,
so there may be differences in neighbouring communities.
In Parksville, election signs are exempt from sign bylaws, however they are not permitted on city-owned property, includ-ing medians. If they are, the bylaw states that the candidate will be notified and asked to pick up the sign from the city office. Hartwell said the same is enforced in Port Alberni.
“If they are up more than four days after the election, they will likely be removed and the bylaw officer will call the candi-date to come and pick them up,” she said.
Candidates must obtain per-mission from homeowners before erecting signs on resi-dential property and renters are permitted to have signs as long as it is private property.
Some municipalities ban signs from public property because of concerns of waste, but Hart-well said she has never seen a problem with litter.
“Because the writ was dropped so early, I don’t think we will take any position with [bylaw enforcement] unless they start appearing on city property.”Davina Hartwell, Port Alberni city clerk

Man accused in spree waits to enter pleasMARTIN WISSMATH ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
A man accused as part of a rash of truck thefts in Port Alberni and Vancouver Island has yet to plea to the charges.
Sheldon James Johanson, 26, is charged with several counts of motor vehicle theft, possession of stolen property over $5,000, willfully resisting or obstructing a peace officer, break and enter with intention to commit an offence, personation with intent to avoid arrest, mischief and arson damag-ing property.
Johanson appeared in Port Alber-ni provincial court on Wednesday via closed-circuit television. He told the court that he expects his case to go to trial. He has not yet pleaded to the charges and has yet to elect whether to be tried in provincial or B.C. Supreme Court. Johanson remains in cus-tody. Judge Ronald Lamperson adjourned the case until Sept. 2.
Two of Johanson’s co-accused in the case, Craig Hannon, 20, and Jeremy Morgan, 36, both pleaded guilty to some of the charges on Aug. 4 in Port Alberni provincial court. Hannon was sentenced to six months in prison and three years of probation. Morgan was sentenced to 50 days in jail and one year of probation.
Hannon started his truck-theft spree on the day he was released from prison for a previous truck theft conviction. He and Morgan boosted vehicles across the mid and north Island, in Port Alberni, Parksville, Qualicum Beach and Campbell River. Two Ford trucks stolen from a Western Forest Prod-ucts property, loaded will tools, were worth an estimated $150,000–200,000, according to the Crown.
Crown prosecutor Gordon Baines
said the thefts were intended to support the men’ serious drug addiction habits. As part of their probation orders, Hannon and Morgan were prohibited from con-tacting one another and must stay away from Port Alberni.
Johanson is accused as a third member of the group involved with the truck thefts.
Along-time mariner begin-ning with his youthful service in the British
Merchant Marines at the end of WWII, Derek Drewe has travelled the seven seas many times over, visiting numerous lands and recording much of what he saw in brilliant photographs.
His travels to Canada while in the Merchant Navy sparked an interest that would eventually bring him here permanently. Leaving his work on the seas, Derek found a job first in the Cowichan forest industry, then in the Britannia mine, eventually serving three years in the Royal Canadian Air Force.
Unable to be a pilot because of his eyesight, he received train-ing in electronics and radar and was posted, during the cold war, at the Pinetree Line radar base in Holberg, southwest of Port Hardy.
Forever the adventurer, always drawn back to the sea, Derek was soon off to work on a freighter that traversed the
waters between Montreal and California, taking him through the Panama Canal several times before he returned to his native England to work on the con-struction of a sea wall. Finished there, he returned to Canada and joined the RCMP, serving in the marine division. Posted to Port Alberni in the 1960’s, he and his wife, Donalda, raised their three children in the community they called home.
Being a devoted family man and no longer interested in transfers, Derek left the RCMP but was eventually invited to join the Coast Guard. In the lat-ter years of his working life, he became harbourmaster on the docks of Port Alberni, retiring in 1990.
Then, he and Donalda began to travel seriously, visiting several countries on each of the popu-lated continents, soaking up the local cultures, learning the his-tory of the people and engaging in as many activities as possible that would acquaint them with the authenticity of each locale.
Armed with an abiding curi-osity and a trusty camera, Derek gained deep knowledge of each area while amassing a vast collection of breathtaking photographs.
His friend, Orlando Delano, while program director of Fir Park and Echo Village, invited Derek to share his travel stories and his photographs with the residents.
Derek soon found himself delivering programs in Echo Village, Fir Park, Heritage Place, Westhaven and Abbeyfield on a regular basis.
At his current residence in Ty Watson House, Derek reflects, “The idea of volunteering my time for seniors in Port Alberni
was most welcome because I had received so much help, kindness and friendship from this coun-try. When the opportunity came to give back, I took advantage of it.
From 1992 to the present day, I made 1500 programs that I showed in my visits to the care facilities. As the slides were shown, I provided commentary on the history and points of interest in each of the places I saw – Aruba, China, Indonesia, Burma, Ecuador… to name just a few.
I was always so pleased to see the smiles on the faces of the residents as they were theoretic-ally transported to other lands. I was truly interested in the whole idea of volunteering.”
Derek has solid advice for those who may be interested in sharing their time and expertise with others.
“Everyone has to do their own thing . . . if you feel good about something, that’s what you share.”

Leaders should debate women’s issues You’d think in an 11-week
election campaign there would be a chance to focus
for at least a couple of hours on issues of specific interest to women. After all, women are not only a majority of the population, but a majority of voters. In 2011, half a million more women than men cast a ballot.
Yet 31 years after the federal party leaders of the time met to debate “women’s issues” at the Royal York Hotel, their mod-ern-day counterparts can’t – or more properly won’t – agree to talk about the concerns of more than half the electorate.
That’s wrong, especially in light of the lack of attention paid to women’s issues in the only debate held so far during this long campaign.
How bad was it? During the Mac-lean’s debate on Aug. 6 there was no discussion of women’s rights and gender equality issues.
More worrying is the fact that no matter how much has changed since the last – and only – federal debate on women’s issues in 1984, the most troubling problems have not gone away.As Up for Debate, the coalition of 175 groups pushing for a women’s debate points out, women con-tinue to earn 20 per cent less than men for the same full-time work, are more likely to be poor, and do twice as much unpaid work at home. Tragically, they also con-tinue to be victims of violence: since 1980, more than 1,000 aborig-inal women and girls have been murdered and each day more than 8,000 women and children seek
protection from violence from a shelter.
Caroline Andrew, who moderat-ed the last debate, has written that many of the issues the leaders debated then “continue to be just as pressing today as they were back in 1984.”
Certainly, there’s enough to dis-cuss in a leaders’ debate focusing on women’s issues. What it comes down to is rank political opportun-ism and partisan calculation.
Conservative Leader Stephen Harper must bear the lion’s share of blame for that. It was his party that began the current squabble for advantage in the debates by dumping the long-agreed formula for leaders’ encounters in favour of cherry-picking the venues like-ly to be most advantageous for him. And he refuses to accept the
invitation from Up for Debate.Harper clearly believes it’s not in his interest to debate women’s issues on a national stage if he wants to keep the election cam-paign focused where the Conserva-tives feel their strength lies: on the economy and national security. By manipulating the kinds of debates he takes part in, he’s trying to control a big part of the election agenda.
That leaves his opponents scrambling to react. NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair, as the leading challenger, won’t take part in any debate that doesn’t include Harp-er. That’s understandable, but it’s disappointing that he would not accept the Up for Debate invitation. Justin Trudeau of the Liberals and the Green Party’s Elizabeth May, of course, have
happily agreed to take part since they have everything to gain by more exposure.In fact, the party leaders should welcome more opportunities to showcase their ideas on a host of issues as diverse as the environ-ment, science, First Nations – and, of course, women’s issues.
This is the longest campaign in modern Canadian history, and there’s no excuse to limit debate. In fact, there’s still plenty of time for Harper to do the right thing by women voters and change his mind on the invitation from Up for Debate.
If he doesn’t – and we’re not holding our breath – all voters should take that into account when they go to the polls on Oct. 19.

VALLEY FACESGetting to know the people who live in the Alberni Valley
KRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
As a new resident to Port Alberni, Dan Fredlund is already liking what he sees. From the time he
arrived almost one month ago, he has been actively involved community events, recreation-al activities and exploring the hidden gems of the Valley.
For Dan, it was the lifestyle that attracted him to the area, and a career opportunity clinched the deal to move from the lower mainland.
Dan spent the majority of his life in Richmond and worked in the water services depart-ment of Public Works. He was hired right out of high school and worked there for the past 15 years. Starting with sewer construction, he later became a purchasing agent.
Thinking that would make a good career, it did not pan out so he returned to construction on water mains for subdiv-isions and high rise buildings.
“It was busy times getting ready for the Olympics,” Dan said.
“We were moving streets and putting in more pipes. One year felt like ten years of experience.”
A lot of that was on the job training, but he also acquired extensive certification from the basics of first aid to hydraulic machinery.
Dan also attended the Uni-versity of British Columbia for film and business studies. Employed in the industry for a short time, it was a chance to hone his creative skills.
“I have always been creative and thought I would become a director, but stuck with the city,” he said.
“The next thing you know, 15 years has gone by.”
He said in recent years, the city life has become too busy for him and property values are not affordable, so he started his search for opportunities on Vancouver Island.
He said he was starting to feel like a country boy trapped in the city and it was time to get out.
“I have been looking for some-where to buy and call home,” Dan said.
“I rolled the dice and put my resume out there. This is the true west coast lifestyle.”
Before long, Dan was hired with the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District as the maintenance technician and leadhand.
“It was a bit of a gamble, but it was the best decision,” he said.
Dan arrived with his jeep and two motorcycles, knowing only one person from the local jeep club.
He was shown around and quickly met new friends.
The only thing he knew about Port Alberni was its natural surroundings from driving through on a surfing trip to Tofino years ago.
It was the outdoor recreation, including hiking, dirt biking, fishing and exploring that caught his attention.
“It has been non-stop excite-ment since I got here,” Dan said.
So far he has spent his week-ends at the drag races, the Five Acre Shaker and boating on Sproat Lake.
He looks forward to taking out his custom-built moto-cycles and taking in the Toy Run next month.
He said he has been discov-ering the unique small busi-nesses in the uptown district.
“Everyone is friendly and wel-coming,” he said.
“It is so easy to make friends.” Dan fuels his creative side
through photography and has already found opportunities locally.
He started out learning on a manual film camera and developed his photos in the darkroom at school.
Now he shoots in raw format with a Nikon D5200.
His first published photo-graph was in a paddling maga-zine in May of 2012. He came across a man in a canoe on the Fraser River who he thought looked interesting.
“He was wearing a birch hat like nothing I had ever seen and took a picture of him,” Dan said.
The man was on a multi-day expedition and was a world rec-ord holder for canoeing across Canada.
After that confidence boost, Dan wrote to a jeep magazine and had his photos of the West Coast Jeep Club’s “girl’s run” published.
Now he makes sure to take his camera with him everywhere he goes.
Dan said he can see his long-term future in the Valley.
“I have everything I want in a job,” he said.
“It is a challenge and good experience. I could retire here.”
At the same time, he wants to continue to work on his passion with photography.
“I want to do that on the side, get a website and get estab-lished. That is my next goal.”

Warrant issued for Comox Valley doctorRCMP seeking man alleged to have taken kids from countryERIN HALUSCHAK COMOX VALLEY RECORD
Investigators from the Comox Valley RCMP, supported by provincial and RCMP officers in Canada and abroad, have completed significant investi-gative work aimed at locating four missing children from the Comox Valley.
Cpl. Darren Lagan, RCMP Island District spokesman said since receiving initial details on Aug. 15, work has included exten-sive communication with inter-national law enforcement part-ners and INTERPOL, obtaining and executing a search warrant in the Comox Valley.
According to a public crowd- sourcing campaign, Dr. Sala-haddin Mahmudi Azer (Saren), a Comox Valley resident, left the country with his four children.
INTERPOL has identified the four children as Sharvahn Delahn Mahmudi-Azer, 11,
Rojevahn Beritan Mahmudi-Azer, 9, Dersim Baran Mahmudi-Azer, 7, and Meitan Serbast Mahmudi-Azer, 3.
Lagan said investigators are taking steps to restrict further international travel by the father and children.
“While the children were legal-ly permitted to leave Canada with their father, his failure to return them to Canada as scheduled led to an order by the Supreme Court of British Columbia (Aug. 21) requiring that the children be immediately returned to the custody of their mother in B.C,” said Lagan in an email to The Record.
On Aug. 24, Comox Valley RCMP sought and obtained a Canada Wide Warrant of Arrest for Azer, in relation to charges of Abduction in Contravention of a Custody Order, contrary to Section 282 of the Criminal Code of Canada.
“We understand how difficult this situation is for the children’s mother and others in the com-munity,” added Lagan.
“The safety and security of Canadian children, both at home and abroad, is of the utmost importance to the RCMP, and we will continue our efforts to locate and safely return these children to British Columbia.”
The Azer family did not want to go into further details with The Record at this time.
If you have any information on the location of Saren Mahmudi Azer or his four children, con-tact your local police force, or the Comox Valley RCMP at 250-338-1321.
To view the INTERPOL missing persons page for the children, visit interpol.int , access the missing persons page (menu on right side of home page) and type in the surname (last name) Azer.

◆ PORT RENFREW
Circle route re-opens after closure spawned by wildfi re
The Pacific Marine Circle Route between Cowichan Lake and Port Renfrew, is open to motorists again after being closed for weeks due to the Lizard Lake wildfire.
The public access restriction for areas surrounding Pacific Marine Road is still in place, according to the BC Wildfire Service. Multiple potential hazards remain in those areas, including wildfire activity, danger trees and the operation of heavy equip-ment. Drivers are asked not to stop.
The blaze still covers 393 hectares but as of Tuesday morning was 70 per cent contained according to Dupont.
Crews are benefiting from the eight heli-pads that have been set up to help move themselves and resources around the steep terrain. About 150 firefighters have been working on the fire, which was discovered on Aug. 12.
Six helicopters and 10 pieces of heavy equipment are still in use.
◆ MILL BAY
Cowichan Valley hockey coach arrested for alleged N.Y. assault
Hockey coach and former NHL player Dale Purinton was arrested in New York state last week and charged with first-de-gree burglary after the alleged assault of a man in the village of Sylvan Beach.
According to Oneida County Sheriff Rob-ert Maciol, an investigation into the inci-dent “indicated that Purinton broke into a residence and caused physical injury to the sole occupant in the residence” on Aug. 12.
He fled the scene and the victim was taken to hospital in nearby Utica. The 38-year-old Purinton was arrested last Wednesday and remanded to jail in lieu of $25,000 cash bail or a $50,000 bond.
A former coach of the Cowichan Valley Capitals, Purinton had been the head coach of the Mill Bay-based junior B Kerry Park Islanders since 2012.
He was released from that position last Thursday, with the team in the middle of training camp.

◆ VIRGINIA
TV shooting suspect described as off-kilterADAM GELLER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Long before he filmed himself shooting and killing a TV repor-ter and cameraman during a live news broadcast Wednesday, the man identified as the suspect followed a twisted and volatile career path that saw him fired from at least two stations for conflicts with co-workers, leaving colleagues with memories of an “off-kilter” loner easily angered by office humour.
When the suspect, identified by authorities as Vester Lee Fla-nagan II, was fired from WDBJ in Virginia in 2013, he had to be escorted out of the building by local police “because he was not going to leave willingly or under his own free will,” the station’s for-mer news director, Dan Dennison, said in an interview with Hawaii News Now (KHNL/KGMB).
Flanagan, 41, had “a long series of complaints against co-workers nearly from the beginning of employment at the TV station,” said Dennison, now an official with the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources.
“All of these allegations were deemed to be unfounded. And they were largely under along racial lines, and we did a thorough investigation and could find no evidence that anyone had racially discriminated against this man.” The victims of Wednesday’s shoot-ing were white; Flanagan was black.
Hours after he allegedly shot his former co-workers Wednesday, Flanagan crashed a vehicle and troopers found him suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He died at a hospital later Wednesday, authorities said.
Flanagan, who also appeared on-air using the name Bryce Wil-liams, worked at a series of stations around the country, sometimes for just a few months at a time.
A rambling letter to family, friends and authorities that was sent to ABC News, Flanagan listed a long list of grievances, dating back to the 2007 mass shooting at Virginia Tech and the more recent massacre of worshippers at a his-toric black church in Charleston, S.C.
“I’ve been a human powder keg for a while,” Flanagan wrote in the note, “just waiting to go BOOM!!!!”

Thirty-two players vie for spots on Alberni Junior A club this week
Bulldogs main camp leads to annual Red, White gameMARTIN WISSMATH ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
Thirty-two talented young hockey players are competing this week to play for the Alberni Valley Bulldogs.
This year the Bulldogs have a smaller camp than the usual 36 players, said Adam Hayduk, assistant coach and assistant gen-eral manager of the B.C. Hockey League club.
The club’s scouts from their spring camps did their due diligence in picking out the top play-ers this year, said Hayduk. This year’s main camp has 30 skaters and two goaltenders.
“It’s a great opportun-ity” for the players to showcase their skills for the trainers and coaching staff, Hayduk noted, and each of them has a better chance to make the team than in previous years’ camps.
Head coach and general manager Kevin Willison said he’s looking for play-ers who can compete and
skate at a high level. The camp started Mon-
day and continues until tonight for the annual Red & White game.
The gold and black teams from the week will be reshuffled for tonight’s match-up, Willison noted, adding he looks for a good
mix of veterans and rook-ies for each team to make the competition fair for the players.
The Red and White game is tonight at Weyer-haeuser Arena at 6 p.m.
Admission is by dona-tion of a non-perishable food item.
Caps win Amway
Mothersill going to provincialsTYSON TAYLOR PARKSVILLE QUALICUM BEACH NEWS
After finishing in first place at the Victoria Cup bodybuilding competition, Mike Mothersill now has his sights set on the prov-incials coming up next year.
Hailing from Qualicum Beach, 30-year-old Moth-ersill won first place in the Men’s Middleweight Open Division at the Victoria Cup last week.
Winning the tournament has earned Mothersill a spot in the B.C. Amateur
Body Building Association provincial competition, taking place next summer.
“It’s pretty exciting,” Mothersill said. “I put a lot of hard work into getting there and to be able to have this result feels great. It just goes to show all that work that was done lead-ing up to it paid off.”
“It was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed myself, just a good event and I had a real good time there.”
For Mothersill, who walks around at 190 pounds, it’s been a lifelong passion of working out
that eventually led to the world of bodybuilding. Mothersill and his wife, Cassandra Ford, are both dedicated to the sport and worked hard together for this event.
“She’s a great source of encouragement,” Moth-ersill said. “She trains pretty hard and has com-peted herself as well, so she knows what it takes. We work well together and I’m very fortunate to have someone like her in my life. She’s pretty intense too, she puts just as much into all of this as I do.”
MONTE STEWART THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — Octavio Rivero and Tim Parker scored as the Vancouver Whitecaps won their first Voyageurs Cup with a 2-0 victory over the Mont-real Impact in the second leg of the Amway Can-adian Championship on Wednesday.
Vancouver took the two-game series 4-2 on aggre-gate against the Impact, who had won the Canadian championship the past two years. The two teams played to a 2-2 first-leg draw on Aug. 12 in Montreal. Rivero opened the scoring in the 39th minute — booting the ball home a split second before Christian Techera’s
shot would have crossed the goal-line anyway. The goal spoiled a sensational effort by Montreal goalkeeper Eric Kronberg after he stopped Techera from point-blank range and then got back into position to stop the Whitecap speedster’s second attempt. Parker headed home a Pedro Morales cor-ner in the 53rd minute to spoil any hope of an Impact comeback.
Montreal was reduced to 10 players for the last 60 minutes after defender Vic-tor Cabrera received a pair of yellow cards for fouls on Rivero. Cabrera was cau-tioned in the 22nd minute for pushing Rivero down from behind as he ran in the middle of the pitch without the ball during a rush.

The Bulldogs main camp ends with the annual Red and White Game tonight at 6 p.m. at Weyerhaeuser. Admission is by donation of a non-per-ishable food item. [MARTIN WISSMATH, TIMES]

Encarnacion, Jays beat up TexasSCHUYLER DIXON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ARLINGTON, Texas — Edwin Encarnacion turned David Price’s 30th birthday into a party — and a win for Toronto’s new ace.
Encarnacion hit a grand slam to extend his hitting streak to 21 games, boosting Price when he was pitching on his birthday for the first time in the majors and helping the Blue Jays to a 12-4 victory against the Texas Ran-gers on Wednesday night.
The right-handed slugger pulled a pitch into the Toronto bullpen in left-centre for his 26th homer after Kevin Pillar opened a six-run sixth inning with a long ball that chased Texas starter Colby Lewis (14-6).
Lewis issued four of a sea-son-high 11 walks by Rangers pitchers. Price (13-4) threw five scoreless innings after allowing Adrian Beltre’s two-run homer in the first. While he was still strug-gling in the third, he got help
on a spectacular, leaping catch at the wall in left field by Ben Revere that saved a run.
“After we got out of that inning, I told him that’s hands down the best birthday gift that I had ever received,” Price said. “It’s a coin flip between that and 12 runs.”
The AL East-leading Blue Jays won their fifth straight, while the Rangers dropped a half-game behind Minnesota in the race for the second AL wild card.
Jose Bautista walked four times
and scored twice as Toronto went two games up in the div-ision on the New York Yankees, who lost 6-2 to Houston. The Astros moved 5 1/2 games ahead of Texas atop the AL West.
Lewis threw two of three wild pitches by the Rangers — both during a 10-pitch at-bat that ended with former Texas player Justin Smoak’s two-run homer to break a 2-all tie in the fifth inning. Smoak’s 13th long ball hit off the facade of the upper deck in right field and extended Toronto’s franchise record to 16 straight road games with a homer.
Encarnacion’s second grand slam of the season — both against the Rangers — and the eighth of his career ended a stretch of six straight batters reaching to start the sixth. Pil-lar’s eighth homer was one of his three hits.
“We’ve been waiting for Eddie to break out in a big way,” man-ager John Gibbons said.

Seahawks linebacker looks for more snapsCURTIS CRABTREE THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RENTON, Wash. — It doesn’t take long for the speed of Kevin Pierre-Louis to catch your eye.
The second-year Seahawks linebacker has loads of it. It’s a trait that Seattle covets in its linebackers and Pierre-Louis fits the bill.
Pierre-Louis showed flashes in limited action as a rookie before a shoulder injury prematurely ended his season. Now the 2014 fourth-round pick is making it difficult for Seattle’s coaching staff to keep him off the field.
“He’s exactly the type of guy you’re looking for in terms of speed and movement and all of that,” head coach Pete Carroll said. “We’ve been recruiting and drafting for a long time to find a guy that runs 4.4 that can play linebacker. He’s done a great job.
He’s really an exciting player for us.”
Pierre-Louis’s speed showed up frequently in special teams duty a season ago. He would routinely match Ricardo Lockette, a for-mer Division II 200-meter cham-pion, in sprints to the end zone on kickoff coverage.
“That’s just his gift,” linebacker K.J. Wright said. “He ran fast at the combine and that’s why we brought him in here. Just come out here, run, and hit and he does that really good.”
But his speed isn’t the only reason he’s pushing for more playing time. When called upon due to injuries last season, Pierre-Louis left a strong impres-sion. He played well in his first extended duty against Carolina, including a tackle of Cam New-ton for a loss in relief of Malcolm Smith.

Sure this is a great way to go topless for the summerBut the Bentley Continental convertible is the star of the show all year roundLARRY PRINTZ TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
It’s August, the pinnacle of summer and prime time for playing hooky.
We all know that the weather will never get any
nicer than this, at least not for another 12 months.
So it’s not surprising that car buyers’ thoughts turn to driving topless — driving with the roof lowered, that is.
And who could argue the opin-ion that the perfect vehicle for going topless is the 2015 Bentley Continental GT Convertible?
Of course, it’s easy for a car as exquisite as the Continental to be the star of the show when the weather is this lovely.
The car’s classically elegant looks and effortless manner make you and the car the high-light of any automotive road show.
But the fact of the matter is that I live and work in Vermont. And my test drive actually occurred in January.
OK, you can pity me for having bad timing, but the real test of a truly great convertible comes not when the top is down. After all, even the most mediocre car seems wonderful with the sun in the sky, the wind in your hair and bugs in your teeth.
No, the true assessment comes
when the top is raised and the weather is lousy. And in January, in Vermont, it is.
So you really have to wonder what they slipped in the tea at Bentley. Why send the most mus-cular version of the Continental GT Convertible to the frozen north?
With a 6.0-liter twin-turbo-charged W-12 engine producing 626 horsepower and 605 pound-feet of torque, there’s enough thrust to propel the car to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds, and continue to a top speed of 203 mph. What pos-sible good could it be in a place that has measurable snowfall seven months of the year?
Yes, exercising all of those pon-ies is ferociously fun this time of year, especially up here, where finding a perfect country road is easy. The eight-speed automatic transmission can be shifted manually.
And while this is entertain-ing, given the engine’s massive amount of horsepower, it’s unnecessary. The car’s speed is possible thanks to more than the extra ponies; Bentley also lowered the car’s ride height and stiffened the electronically controlled damping and steering systems.
Optional carbon ceramic disc brakes are offered in place of the standard iron discs to improve
the already impressive stopping ability.
And need I say that it’s pure joy? Of course not. Whatever performance parameter you can mention — be it speed, handling or ride comfort — the Bentley Continental GT Speed excels. But I am sure that even if you didn’t know that, you assumed it.
Still, you have to wonder what such a speed demon is like in the dead of winter.
So did I. But it was January, and the crystal blue sky that promised worry-free driving soon darkened. The wind was soon howling and a curtain of snow soon blanketed the ground.
Given what I had parked in the garage, I did what few owners of a quarter-million-dollar convert-ible would do; I took it out in the midst of a truly epic, if typical, New England winter storm.
Surprised? Don’t be. It made as much sense as taking out any other vehicle.
After all, this Bentley weighs more than 6,000 pounds, as much or more than many “rugged” SUVs. However, just like them, it has all-wheel drive, and its ride height can be raised.
Finally, it rides on 21-inch tires, in this case studded snows. Toss in the fact that Bentley’s scrump-tious leather thrones were heat-ed — as was the steering wheel _
and you have a grand touring car that is no fair-weather friend.
Out into raging snow squalls I drove, traversing snow and ice as if it didn’t exist.
The car’s multiplicity of sys-tems insures that the shiny side of the car stays upright and on the road. In fact, despite my best attempts, it was nearly impos-sible to get the Bentley slip or slide.
By the time I was finished with it, the Arabica-colored Bentley was encrusted in white salt resi-due, a testimony to its superb performance. Other than need-ing a good wash, it survived Ver-mont’s worst weather, emerging unscathed.
And while I expected the car to perform well while weathering winter’s wrath, I didn’t antici-pate that the Continental GT Speed would tackle it as easily as it does screaming down the Autobahn at 175 mph. It is a truly remarkable feat.
By providing the ultimate summer car in the heart of winter, Bentley has proven that it makes the finest grand tour-ing car available at any price, one that laughs at the weather, while allowing you to laugh with delight while driving it.
So go ahead and buy one now; you’ll love it. But you’ll adore it just as much come winter.
Things to consider as the kids start to hit the roadROBERT DUFFER CHICAGO TRIBUNE
The first car is one of the most memorable purchases of a lifetime.
For teens, it offers independ-ence and tangible confirmation that they are driving headlong into adulthood. In a word, a first car is freedom.
It’s exciting for parents, too, especially before the black abyss of tuition payments. But it is a complex consideration fraught with the safety concerns of the driver and financial obligations of the backer.
The time-honoured tradition of passing along the family truckster is still alive and well, but with the proliferation of advanced safety features and the reality of our hyper-connected technological culture, the Olds Cutlass Supreme with the bench seats and the tape deck (my first legacy car) may not make much sense.
“Cost is a big issue for parents when they’re looking for a teen,” said Russ Rader, spokesman for the Insurance Institute for High-way Safety. “But spending a little more will get a vehicle that has the characteristics that will pro-tect a teen if a crash happens.”
Modern safety equipment is especially beneficial to inexperi-enced drivers. Not only are cars better equipped to absorb crash-es, they are loaded with equip-ment to prevent them.
Remember the CD player? For-get it, because it’s being phased out in newer cars. If there isn’t at least one USB port in a new car, it feels outdated (we’re waiting, Volkswagen).
Chevy has already gone wireless, turning its lineup of cars and trucks into wireless hot spots enabling up to seven devices to be connected.
Technology is not limited to connectivity.
The latest infotainment sys-tems have built-in navigation, roadside assistance, voice com-mands, text message readback, phone storage — everything imaginable to keep the phone put away and keep the driver relying on the car’s internal systems, which aren’t as distracting. Most systems cost extra.
The technology also extends to driver safety features, such as lane departure warnings, adapt-ive cruise control, blind spot alerts and the backup camera, which has been mandated in all cars starting with model year 2018. Most new cars already have them.
Of course, consumers are pay-ing more than they ever have for new cars, with the average trans-action price of a new car tipping $33,000.
Fortunately, the IIHS last year addressed the unreality of buying your teen a new car by coming up with its first recom-mended used car list for teens. If considering a used car, make sure to do a free VIN check to determine vehicle incident history.
Our suggestions are based on new cars because their costs are easier to calculate. Rader sug-gests parents plan ahead when buying a car for themselves by considering what it will need to have to be safely passed on to their teen.
Chances are a used model would save you money and still satisfy your priorities. We only recommend cars with a Top Safe-ty Pick rating or above from IIHS and tried to keep the MSRP for base models under $20,000.

WHAT’S NEW?
Ford looks poised to bring back the RangerTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ford is making plans for a return to the small pickup truck market in the U.S. with a new version of the Ranger.
The company is negotiating with the United Auto Workers about making the truck at a factory in the Detroit suburb
of Wayne, Michigan, a person briefed on the matter said Wednesday.
A new small SUV that may be called the Bronco also is under discussion, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the talks are part of national contract negotiations and no agreement has been
reached.The Wayne factory, which
Ford calls the Michigan Assem-bly Plant, employs more than 4,400 workers. The 5-million-square-foot facility now makes the Focus compact and C-Max gas-electric hybrid.
Ford is expected to move those products to a lower-cost factory
in Mexico in 2018, but has yet to confirm the move.
“We actively are pursuing future vehicle alternatives to produce at Michigan Assembly and will discuss this issue with UAW leadership as part of the upcoming negotiations,” spokes-woman Kristina Adamski said Wednesday in a statement.

Weekend stage showsALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
Don Alder is at home on stages all over the world, and now bringing his guitar magic back to Vancou-
ver Island.Don Alder will perform songs from
various albums, including new songs from his upcoming CD titled “Armed & Dangerous”.
He will be performing all origin-
al material including fiery guitar instrumentals that will put you on the edge of your seat and his singing with a voice that will soothe your soul. One could describe his music as “fusion folk, blending pop and instru-mental music” while others say “new world fusion with a hinge of blue-grass”. Alder describes it as “honest music from the heart”.
His music is a unique combination of deeply textured melody and story. Lyrical and com-pelling, his original songs are notes of exploration – some passionate and haunting, some hard-driven, others light and teasing. In quiet pieces or pushing right to the edge, Don’s phenomenal finger style playing and rich voice captiv-ate. Don is also recognized as one of the of the world’s top harp guitarists, and besides his Yamaha guitar and his baritone guitar he’ll bring along his harp guitar for sure.
Don Alder, often referred to as the “Hendrix” of Acoustic Guitar is a Multi-Award Win-ning Acoustic guitarist from Canada. Hot off his recent Europe tour, Alder continues to “Wow” audiences around the world with his “jaw drop-ping” one man band act. His singing is soulful and heartfelt and his story telling and guitar playing is highly entertaining.
See him at Char’s Landing on Saturday at 8 p.m.
The response to Sean Hogan’s 1996 debut album was extraordinary. His
uniquely authentic blend of alt-country and modern rustic pop immediately caught the attention of country radio and music fans across Canada, lead-ing to his first Canadian Coun-try Music Association award.
Hit single after hit single (Angeline, Catalina Sunrise, Vulnerable, Silver Lining Girl, Sure Fire Love, Dream Vacation and Slow Turning to name a few) became staples of country music radio. As of August 2013 Nineteen Sean Hogan music videos aired on Country Music Television a few of those were on the NCN predecessor. His two US Americana album releas-es, 2003s Ruled By Mercury and 2008s Conspiracy Radio, climbed the Americana music charts and were well-received by radio south of the border. In between those releases, he recorded his fifth Canadian album, The Southern Sessions, putting him back on Canadian country radio with the hit singles What Would You Have Me Believe and Dont Sweat the Small Stuff. In 2009 he released a U.S. version of the Southern Sessions with slightly modified track listing adding in Catalina Sunrise, A Cowboy’s Heart to the sequence and there scored a couple independent chart hits with Heartbreak Song in 2009 and Suck It Up in 2010. In between he found the time to lead his annual cross-country Canadian Country Christmas tours, bringing a group of high-profile Canadian country music artists to large and small communities coast to coast raising over $130,000 for local charities and sponsoring dozens of children in Third World coun-tries over the past decade.
Catch him at Char’s Landing on Sunday at 8 p.m.
September starts off with the Supernatural Buffalo Band Summer Tour on Tuesday and Musicians’ Open Mic with host Jeff Hallworth on Wednesday from 7 to 9 p.m.

HEART OF VANCOUVER ISLAND
GARDENING
1. Unoriginal Tone: It takes a lot to cut through clutter in the news feeds and gain the attention of your audience. Don’t be afraid to use sarcasm, humour, and wit. Be original and be consistent.
2. Not Engaging with the Audi-ence: Social media is exactly that, social. Be sure to respond to com-ments, questions, and even com-plaints (see No. 7) A good rule of thumb is to stay online for 10-20 minutes after you post to engage with commenters.
3. Too Much Text: Think bite size. After you type out your post always check if there is a way to make it shorter.
4. Asking For Likes and Shares: Don’t do this. The best way to gain Likes and Shares is through compelling content.
5. Overly Promotional Posts: Just like you might run from the pushy sales person, people don’t enjoy overly promotional posts. Use the 80/20 rule and keep your
sales and promotional posts to just 20 per cent of your content.
6. Not Completing Your About Section: When a viewer visits your about page it should be very clear what it is you do, where you are located and how to contact you.
7. Not Responding to Negative Comments: Though tempting, do not simply delete all negative comments. A best practice is the 3 P’s: prompt, professional and positive. If you can, get to the comment quickly and put the fire out before it escalates. In a pro-fessional tone put a positive spin on the conservation, sometimes the conversation will need to be directed offline. Never argue or respond in anger.
8. Not Responding to Private Messages: Inline with No. 8, be sure to respond to private messages.
Facebook now offers a badge if your page has a quick response time to private messages. Just as it’s frustrating when a business never answers its phone, it’s equally frustrating to not get a response to a message.
9. Not Using High Quality Images: The bar has been set high here. Hire a professional photog-rapher if you can, it makes all the difference.
10 Posting Too Much or Not
Enough: Use the insights tab and find out when your audience is online and what posts are most popular. Too many posts come across as spam, not enough and you’ll lose your visibility. Quality over quantity.
Because crops ripened so quickly this year, I’m early in focus-ing on an exciting international topic,
squash! Looking at the big picture squash seems to have originated in South and Central America.
It then developed strong roots in the United States. Its English name originates from the Mas-sachuset First Nation’s word “askutasquash, meaning eaten raw or uncooked.”
Times have changed however as cooked squash seem to have increased in popularity.
The more popular squash in North America indeed includes the prolific summer squash, zucchini and a winter squash, the pumpkin. Modern pumpkins have largely been developed as halloween ornaments, with fairly watery flesh. If you wish to eat pumpkins you should grow or purchase specialty pie or sugar pumpkins.
Or you can simply use some variety of winter squash in your “pumpkin” pie. My research finds that much canned commer-cial pie filling does actually come from what we generically know as squash.
The kabocha squash also ori-ginated in the Americas. Por-tuguese explorers brought it to Japan, hundreds of years ago and over the centuries dedicated horticulturalists developed it into what I think is the most deli-cious squash. It’s now come back to the Americas and seems to be gaining in popularity.
Though it disappoints my cre-ative imagination I haven’t found any evidence that the Italians developed the spaghetti squash. Its stringy flesh can, of course, be substituted for pasta in reci-pes, a feature which is appre-ciated in our health conscious, gluten-phobic world.
In the squash world, zucchini comes across as a bit watery and bland. Winter squash varieties are much more exciting with their denser, nutritionally richer flesh.
This orange flesh ties into the concept of consuming a rainbow of coloured produce.
I soften up the squash in the oven prior to cutting it. You have
to take great care because it’s easy to overcook.
Rotate it in the oven for even softening.
After some cooling you can peel and slice or dice, and include in your recipe.
The Japanese introduced an edible kabocha skin, so in addi-tion to great flavour there’s less waste and less labour.

◆ ALBERTA
Offi cer pleads guilty to illegal gun possession
An Alberta RCMP officer has been handed a conditional sen-
tence after pleading guilty to fire-arms charges.
Const. Stephen Hudson, 49, was charged in May with the unlaw-ful possession of a Bushmaster assault rifle — which is a restrict-ed weapon — and the careless
storage of the assault rifle, as well as other offences.
Hudson appeared in a Sherwood Park court Wednesday and plead-ed guilty to five of 10 charges, including unsafe storage of a fire-arm, possession of an unlicensed
weapon and possession of an unlawful device.
He received a conditional sen-tence including nine months house arrest and nine months of living under a curfew.
He resigned from the RCMP.
◆ NEW BRUNSWICK
Border beer battle barrels through court
A court case on whether a man from New Brunswick can legally buy cheaper cases of beer in Que-bec delved into Canadian history Wednesday,.
“The law that bans people from bringing beer across the border from Quebec to New Brunswick is a travesty of what the Fathers of Confederation wanted,” said Andrew Smith, a professor of pol-itical history at the University of Liverpool in England.
“The Fathers of Confederation wanted a comprehensive econom-ic union. They wanted unfettered trade between the provinces.”
Smith is considered the key defence witness in the case of a New Brunswick man charged with illegally importing alcohol from Quebec.
Gerard Comeau of Tracadie is fighting the charge on constitu-tional grounds.
An agreed statement of facts says he was caught in Octo-ber 2012 with 14 cases of beer and three bottles of liquor that he had bought in nearby Pointe-a-la-Croix.
The New Brunswick Liquor Con-trol Act limits anyone from having more than 12 pints of beer not sold by a provincially licensed liquor outlet.
The defence argues that a sec-tion of the Liquor Control Act is unconstitutional because Section 121 of the Constitution Act says all goods from a province are to be admitted free into each of the other provinces.4505 Victoria Quay 250-723-2478

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might have gone to bed knowing that endurance and hard work would be on the menu today. You quickly will discover that networking mixed with your original ideas is a rec-ipe for success. Add some extra zest to the mix. Tonight: Take a stand when making plans.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)You might question whether you have done enough back-ground work as you forge ahead on a major project. Unfortunately, you might not be able to backtrack. Choose to follow your instincts. Others trust your judgment, so why shouldn’t you? Tonight: Plan on a late bedtime.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You will need to understand what has happened behind the scenes before you jump to any conclusions. A situation doesn’t have the implications you might think it does. Try not to exclude a possibility that you have not yet considered. Tonight: Try a new type of cuisine.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might want to consider sev-eral options that you have dis-
counted in the past. When you revisit these ideas, you could be surprised by how workable one is. If you like it, don’t hesitate to make this concept a reality. Tonight: Listen to a loved one’s ideas.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)You might be in a situation where you want to say a lot, but you are not the lead person. Note how this person handles others; he or she could have a totally different way of doing things. Don’t worry -- your time will come. Tonight: Go off and start planning your weekend.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Listen to news more carefully, and understand your role in getting a project done. Mean-while, take some time to sched-ule an important appointment for yourself. In this period of high energy, you need to take good care of yourself. Tonight: Let the party begin.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)You could be delighted by something unexpected that takes place. If you are single, someone will catch your eye. Be aware that this person might not be everything he or she
seems to be. Time is your ally. Tonight: Make the most of the moment.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)You will be able to avoid a touchy, difficult situation by lying low, which is something you tend to do well. Make it OK to have what you consider to be a “trivial conversation.” The wise Scorpio will keep any opin-ions to him- or herself. Tonight: Make a favorite meal.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)You will find the right words for any situation. However, some-one is likely to keep bothering you for more information or your opinion, and before you know it, you will be dragging. Touch base with a loved one early in the day. Tonight: Hang out at home.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You seem to be all smiles, yet there is a topic you are not discussing. You could be on the verge of doing something very out of character for you. Although you might not want to share now, you might later. Use caution in choosing your words. Tonight: Your treat.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)You are on fire. You have a lot on your mind, yet somehow you will be capable of covering all your bases. You could be feel-ing a bit awkward dealing with a particular person. This new element of discomfort might surprise you. Tonight: In the whirlwind of the moment.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might be exhausted by everything going on around you. Question your choices, and know that you could break this pattern. In fact, what is stopping you? Be willing to change what is no longer working for you. Tonight: In the limelight.

GEORGE FREDERICH SINGBEIL Born: September 9, 1927
Place: Brokenhead, Manitoba
George Frederich Singbeil passed away with his children by his side in West Coast General Hospital on Monday, August 23, 2015.
Predeceased by his wife, Elaine, he is survived by his sister Dorothy Steinke and brother Raymond Singbeil, sister-in-law Audrey, son Douglas (Helen), daughter Nancy, and grandchildren Steven, Lisa and Kathleen, as well as by his many nieces and nephews.
George was born in Brokenhead, Manitoba on September 9, 1927 and grew up on the family farm in Beausejour, Manitoba. When he left the farm to find his fortune, he turned to Toronto, where he trained to be a welder. His first job was with the A.V. Roe Company – maker of the famous Avro Arrow. However, he didn’t stay in Toronto for long, and accompanied a friend to Edmonton, where he gained employment as a welder in the newly developing oil and gas industry. It was there that he met his wife Elaine at a YMCA/YWCA youth work group, the start of a wonderful marriage that lasted for more than 50 years. George and his young family then moved to Grande Prairie, Alberta, and Fort St. John, BC, before return-ing to the family farm in Beausejour to try his hand at dairy farming.
In 1966, George and his family relocated to Port Alberni where George worked as a welder at the pulpmill until his retirement. He and Elaine built their dream house at Sproat Lake in 1974, where they enjoyed entertaining family and friends, and where George lovingly cared for Elaine in her final years. George was proud to have remained living in his Sproat Lake home until his final illness.
George was a true craftsman – at work as a welder, and at home, where he built three houses for his family. He liked nothing better than working in his shop and built several beautiful pieces of furniture for himself and his children. He was a gentle person, and was never heard to raise his voice in anger. His love for Elaine was extraordinary, and he often said that they never had a serious argument through-out their entire marriage. He missed her greatly when she passed away.
Over the years, he made many close friends and enjoyed their frequent company. Floor curling with the Sunshine Club was a favorite activity in his later years. He passed away after a short illness, and will be greatly missed.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 11:00 AM on Monday Aug 31, 2015 at the
Cedar Grove Reformed Church (4109 Kendall Ave). Donations in George’s memory to the West Coast General
Hospital Foundation would be appreciated in lieu of flowers.
WILLIAMSWayne Walden
WILLIAMS, Wayne Walden passed away in Port Alberni on Sunday, August 16, 2015 at the age of 74.Predeceased by parents, aunts, uncle and a brother in law, Wayne is survived by his loving wife Linda of 40 years as well as many family and friends.Wayne was born in Manitoba but came to the valley in 1964. He was a log scaler for 20 years until his retirement. An active man who loved being in the outdoors, he enjoyed golfi ng, camping, snowmobiling, traveling south in the winter in the motorhome, and was a founding member of Sproat Lake Water Sports Assn for 35 years. Wayne was known for his talent on building and manufacturing things and having a sharp mind that could come up with solutions to most problems. He invented a Bear Clamp Spray Handle to help those still working in the scaling industry.According to Wayne’s wishes, no formal service will be tak-ing place. A Celebration of Wayne’s life will be announced at a later time. Condolences may be off ered to the family at www.chapelofmemories.caIn lieu of fl owers, donations in Wayne’s memory may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society BC & Yukon Division, Port Alberni Unit, 303B – 3rdAve, Port Alberni, BC.,V9Y 2A5.

Europe struggling with infl ux of migrantsTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Record numbers of migrants fleeing violence and poverty in countries such as Syria, Afghan-istan and Eritrea are trying to reach Europe this year, despite the risks of perilous sea cross-ings and little humanitarian assistance.
Here are the latest develop-ments Wednesday:
ITALY FINDS 51 MIGRANT BODIES IN BOAT
Italy’s coast guard says 51 bod-ies have been found in the hull of a migrant boat rescued off Libya’s northern coast.
Coast guard Lt. Claudio Ber-netti said the Swedish ship Poseidon, part of the European Union’s Mediterranean oper-ation, also rescued 439 surviving migrants from the ship.
The rescue was one of 10
requests for assistance as Libya-based smugglers take advantage of calm seas to send boats over-loaded with migrants to Europe.
HUNGARY’S BORDER FENCE STOPS FEW MIGRANTS
Clambering over the razor-wire border fence or crawling under it, migrants surged across the Serbian border into Hungary, trying to evade border police and head to more prosperous Euro-pean Union nations.
By early Wednesday morning, 1,302 migrants had already been detained at Hungary’s southern border with Serbia, according to Hungary’s national police chief. Police said 2,533 migrants were detained Tuesday, up from 2,093 on Monday, with the numbers setting records nearly every day.
In the border town of Roszke, police used tear gas to break up a brief scuffle involving about
200 migrants growing impatient with registration delays.
The Hungarian border fence consists of three layers of razor wire along its 174-kilometre border with Serbia. But it did not stop one group of migrants, including women and children, from crawling under it, using blankets, sleeping bags, jackets and a stick to raise the wire.
GERMAN FAR-RIGHT PROTESTERS BOO MERKEL
Chancellor Angela Merkel urged Germans to stand up against hatred and vowed zero tolerance for attacks against refugees, even as over 100 far-right protesters booed her visit to a shelter for asylum-seekers.
Merkel travelled to Heidenau, a small town near Germany’s eastern border with the Czech Republic, to express support for refugees following neo-Nazi riots
there over the weekend. Dozens of police were injured when a far-right mob hurled bottles and fireworks at police, trying to pre-vent asylum seekers from mov-ing into a former hardware store south of Dresden.
“It’s shameful and repulsive what we experienced here,” Mer-kel said of the weekend clash.
A couple of hundred meters (yards) away, far-right protesters jeered and leaned on car horns. Some held placards denouncing the German government.
GREECE RESCUES HUNDREDS AT SEA
Greece’s coast guard says it rescued 578 migrants at sea off its eastern Aegean islands in 15 separate operations near the islands of Lesbos, Chios, Samos and Kos in the last 24 hours. The figure doesn’t include those who arrive at the islands themselves
from the nearby Turkish coast, usually in inflatable dinghies. Greece has borne the brunt of a record number of migrants head-ing to Europe, with more than 160,000 entering the country so far this year.
UN REFUGEE CHIEF SLAMS EU’S ASYLUM SYSTEM
The head of the U.N. refugee agency has said the Europe Union’s asylum system is “com-pletely dysfunctional,” urging the bloc to better co-ordinate its response to the influx of refugees.
Antonio Guterres said the response could include EU deployment of triage centres to register migrants pouring into countries like Italy and Greece. Such “hotspots” could help offi-cials distinguish refugees from others who “don’t need protec-tion,” he said.
