◆ COVER STORY

Ziplining new way to see sightsKATYA SLEPIAN

ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

West Coast Wild Adventures all started in Costa Rica for

owner Louis Rouleau.“I have a float plane

here and it’s slow to fly in the winter time; days are short, lots of storms, no tours,” said Rouleau, who opened his ziplining adventure business five years ago near Kennedy Lake on Highway 4.

So Rouleau flew down to Costa Rica in hopes of finding more business there during his slow season up here.

“Everybody wanted me, all the resorts did,” he said.

“But when I checked into the legalities of it, it wasn’t going to work.”

But when Rouleau was in Costa Rica he stumbled across something else; a zip line.

He’d never been on one before but jumped at the chance to try one in Costa Rica.

“It was the very first zip line I’d ever been on,” Rouleau said.

It was also the first commercial zip line to open anywhere in world—something that inspired Rouleau.

“It was built at Monteverde and it was built by Canadians,” he said.

“So I went on it. I met all these strangers; there were 10 of us on the tour. I didn’t know anybody but we did this zip line together and it was such and amazing bonding experience,” he said.

“All of these strangers, we were so excited and we went for beers after...it was such a cool thing.”

The thrill of the ride and the intense feeling of bonding was something Rouleau thought he could replicate at home.

“I decided that we could probably do this in Canada because we have trees in Canada, right?”

When he returned home to the west coast he spent months looking all around western Vancouver Island for a location.

“It was all pretty generic, just trees, and wouldn’t have been really cool.”

It was by chance that he found Haa’uukmin—a tribal park of the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation.

“One day I was flying by and the river was just roaring. It was just this amazing white, roaring outrageous river,” he said.

“I just thought ‘wow!’”That river was the

Kennedy River, part of the Kennedy Lake watershed that makes up the Tla-o-qui-aht’s Haa’uukmin tribal park. Tribal parks were created to protect

the land and water while also allowing for complementary usage.

So Rouleau got in touch with the Tla-o-qui-aht to figure out how a zip line could fit into their plans.

“I went to a couple of sessions with them so that we could make a proposal to the band council,” he said.

The band council said yes, leading to a partnership that would bear fruit for both Rouleau and the Tla-o-qui-aht: and West Coast Wild was born.

When plans were solidified, a succession plan was part of the deal, he explained.

“Eventually we would form a company together

and they would buy us out. Over the next five years, they would take over the company.”

That date for the creation of that company is now two years away, Rouleau added.

He’s built the Tla-o-qui-aht something amazing, hidden away on the highway between Port Alberni and Ucluelet.

“We’ve been working on it every year,” said Rouleau.

Six zip lines from as long as 220 metres now cover the park, letting visitors zoom over the Kennedy River canyon.

Jumping off the first platform sends you careening through a

canyon, dozens of feet above the rushing, roiling river. Many visitors hang on for dear life, but for the more fearless the sky is the limit for aerobatic moves—all while attached to the sturdy zip line.

Knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guides Kelly Bedford and Jesse Thompson take guest through the zip lines.

From hooking you up to the zip line to quizzing you about the forest (hint: the answer is always C!), to thanking Brutus (you’ll find out after the first zip line) their passion is easy to see.

It’s a passion that has garnered them the Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence for the fifth consecutive year.

“It’s amazing, we’re very proud,” said Rouleau of the win that got them into Trip Advisor’s Hall of Fame.

Below the zip lines, paddleboard tours are offered during the summer months. Above, there’s a helicopter ride that takes you above the tree canopy, around the canyon and all the way down to just feet above the river bed.

And there’s more yet to build. “We’re starting on staff accommodations,” said Rouleau.

“We really want to hire First Nations and a lot of the younger people don’t have driver’s licences.”

A 15-foot hot tub and some on-site food are further off plans as well.

“We want to be able to work the shoulder seasons, the spring and fall, and with this kind of dreary weather if you have a hot tub to settle into then that solves that problem.”

Vote splitting a non-issue for Greens: SollittKATYA SLEPIAN

ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

Courtenay-Alberni Green Party candidate Glenn Sollitt is not giving credence to the idea that Greens will split the vote for the Oct. 19 federal election.

“I just don’t buy into it,” the first-time candidate said.

“I think the Green Party pull attraction equally from all the parties.”

In fact, Sollitt said that much of the support his campaign has gotten has been from the traditionally Conservative

Oceanside voters.“The notion—that

the NDP say—that a vote for the Green Party is a vote for the Conservatives is exactly wrong,” he said.

That fear that the Greens could actually win seats is why Green Party leader Elizabeth May hasn’t been invited to take part in the debates, Sollitt added.

“I think everyone would agree that Mr. Harper is very smart

and very good at winning elections,” Sollitt said. If a vote for the Green Party is

a vote for the Conservatives, Sollitt added, “why wouldn’t [Harper] want Elizabeth May in all the debates? Why wouldn’t he want the Green Party to do well?”

Vote splitting is only one of the misconceptions Sollitt said he wants to clear up about the Green Party.

“We are absolutely not anti-industry,” he

said.“We have more

policy around the economy than we do about the environment.”

That policy, Sollitt said, is about “getting more out of the resources we’re extracting.”

Sollitt wants to see a lot less unprocessed products being shipped overseas. Here in the Alberni Valley, that means fewer raw logs leaving town.

“What I want to bring to Port Alberni is jobs,” Sollitt said.

“We absolutely need forestry but what we

really need is as many jobs per cubic metre as possible.”

He sees the transition from hydrocarbons to renewable energy as a boon, not a negative, for Port Alberni.

“There are an awful lot of jobs in renewable energy, all of which would come to a place like Port Alberni.”

Sollitt believes that the first jobs would come in energy efficient construction.

“It’s cheaper to conserve energy than it is to create it,” he said. The jobs would come via

construction crews that would renovate existing buildings that currently leak 50 per cent of their energy; fixing that, Sollitt said, would both create jobs and slow climate change.

But in order to manufacture in the Alberni Valley, companies need to be convinced to process their goods here.

According to Sollitt, the Green Party would use a mix of regulation and funding to encourage more manufacturing within Canada.

“I don’t see just regulating them against their will but I think specifically the forest industry could use money in research and development to figure out how do we adapt the existing mills to better suit foreign markets,”

Sollitt said.On the regulation

side, he said that rewriting the free trade agreements between Canada and other countries, most notably in Asia, will force companies to process products here at home.

“I think that the free trade agreements we keep rushing to sign too favourably assist the foreign countries...of course Asia is going to want us to bring raw logs,” Sollitt said.

Corporate profits should not be considered more important than factorslike the environment, human rights and jobs here in Canada.

“My feeling is that we need to write fair trade agreements not free trade agreements.”[email protected]

IT reveals logging plans

Mayor Mike Ruttan said that Island Timberlands has no plans to log near Hole-in-the-Wall and are instead interested in working with the regionaldistrict and city on a crosswalk from Coombs Country Candy and a trail to Hole-in-the-Wall. Logging is planned for the Lookout side of the highway however, some of which will be visible from the highway.

Social housing committee

A new social housing and retrofit committee isin the works, Coun. Ron Paulson revealed at city council on Monday night.

“It’s a concept of working with representatives from the Nuu-chal-nulth Tribal Council and other agencies to see if we can make something happen in terms of retrofitting some housingin the city on a pilot basis,” said Mayor Mike Ruttan.

Individuals in need of housing would work to retrofit homes that they would then live in, while gaining practical skills at the same time. The project will have environmental benefits as well, with homes retrofitted to the highest level of sustainability.

Inbrief

KATYA SLEPIANALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

The city of Port Alberni will know a lot more about its lake reservoirs after this week.

The city contracted Land Grant Surveying Inc. to map the bottom of its two drinking water reservoirs, Bainbridge Lake and Lizard Lake, city engineer Guy

Cicon said. The work cost the city $7,000 and was completed Sept. 28–29.

“It will allow us to determine the exact capacity of our drinking water reservoirs,” said Cicon, adding that while the city knows approximately how much water the two lakes store, the sonar will allow them to have an exact

calculation.With a summer that

tested the limits of the city’s drinking water supply more than ever before, Cicon said it was especially important to learn everything they can about their watershed.

The results of the sonar were not available when the News went to [email protected]


Sandy Grant maps the bottom of Bainbridge Lake on Monday, Sept. 27.

Mapping Alberni’s reservoirs


Port Alberni’s low water consumption and monitoring of their water system makes the city stand out from the pack, Mayor Mike Ruttan said on Monday night.

“Last week at the Union of B.C Municipalities convention in Vancouver, Port Alberni was seen as a bit of a leader in terms of water usage and monitoring our water consumption,” said Ruttan.

City engineer Guy Cicon said that it’s not a reputation that the city has gained by accident.

“We’ve been working on this for a number of years,” said Cicon.

He pointed to the city’s new water and sewer rate structure, which instead of rewarding high usage with a bulk rate, penalizes it with a higher one.

“The water and sewer rate structure that we

adopted recently are conservation-based structures,” said Cicon.

“It’s what we need to do to show that we are managing our resources as wisely as we can.”

That approach, Cicon said, positively influences the city’s chance of receiving senior government grant money.

“It all started some years ago when we started to recognize our challenges with our water and sewer system... senior levels of government want to support and recognize local governments’

efforts to conserve resources.”

The lifting of water restrictions on Sept. 28 was indicative of the city’s confidence in its water system, Cicon added.

“Our lake reservoirs recovered quite quickly after the recent rain and that gave us a lot of confidence in our supply.”

Water consumption also dropped, both due to the cooler weather and residents’ commitment to water conservation measures.

“We started in the spring with 17,000 cubic metres a day and we were going down 10 per cent, 20 per cent, sometimes 30 per cent, bringing us down to around 14,000 cubic metres a day. Average daily residential usage per capita is 254 litres a day; according to a 2009 Environment Canada report, that compares favourably to the Canadian average of 335 litres.

Alberni ahead of the rest in water

‘Port Alberni was seen as a bit of a leader in

terms of water usage and monitoring our water

consumption.’– Mike Ruttan


Local government buildings will really be local in the Alberni Valley from now on.

Councillor Jack McLeman made a motion at city council on Monday night that “Whenever feasible, construction requiring large beams and timber come from McLean Mill and be milled from logs cut in the community

forest.”According to

McLeman, using the two city-owned assets whenever possible just makes sense.

“We own the community forest as a city and we own McLean Mill as a heritage site and we did do this at the new water purification plant,” McLeman said.

Timbers for the Bainbridge water treatment plant were milled at McLean Mill,

though not logged at the community forest.

“The contractor that built the facility paid the mill... we can either give McLean Mill subsidies or we can get lumber from them.”

Mayor Mike Ruttan added that the new water treatment plant isn’t the only building built with McLean Mill milled logs; so is the new cultural centre in [email protected]

W e’re seeing the effects of our post-literate,

feelings-based education system and media on the federal election. Candidate bozo eruptions are becoming more frequent.

Most recently a Liberal candidate on Vancouver Island admitted she has long believed that hijacked jetliners could not have destroyed the World Trade Centre on 9-11, that it was all “a lie.” That was “my truth,” she said, in the lingo of the feelings-first, inner-child crowd.

Now she’s “moved on” to a slightly different fact-free conclusion, that we’ll just never know how those 3,000 people were murdered.

And she wants to go to Ottawa and help run this country.

Feelings-based beliefs were on display again at last week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities

convention in Vancouver, where bozo eruptions by local politicians come in bunches.

This year’s main outbreak was an emotional demand that the B.C. government enact a provincial bill of rights. This magic municipal Magna Carta “recognizes the right of every resident to live in a healthy environment, including the right to clean air, clean water and vibrant ecosystems.”

Alert taxpayers may wonder, how many lawyers would it take to define “vibrant”? More on that in a moment.

Local councils across B.C. and around the country have been pitched this scheme by the David Suzuki Foundation, which calls it the Blue Dot campaign. In short, it’s part of the bigger plan to save the planet

by crushing capitalism, currently being pushed by the Pope, the UN and others.

Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps was one of the most passionate backers.

She quoted the plea presented to her council by an 11-year-old recruited by the Blue Dot team.

There are many such children, terrified by indoctrination about the imminent destruction of Earth and all its cuddly creatures that has bombarded them since they learned to speak.

They are found in the wealthiest

countries in human history, those enjoying health, comfort and opportunity not imagined by anyone 100 years ago.

In the vast, air-conditioned hall of the Vancouver Convention Centre, there were several attempts at adult

supervision.Coquitlam Coun. Terry

O’Neill noted that unlike intrinsic rights articulated in Canada’s charter, freedom of assembly and so forth, this is an attempt to invent new rights that are actually demands for “others to do something for you.”

Indeed, if we’re going to have government by 11-year-olds, we might as well throw in a right to free ice cream.

Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz went off on a rant about how this new “vision” would protect us from things like Volkswagen fiddling its diesel fuel emission results.

The resolution calls for “access to justice when environmental rights are infringed,” which sounds like code for some sort of costly new legal aid program to pursue every individual grievance.

Meanwhile in reality, class action lawsuits are being prepared to gain compensation for lost resale value of millions of cars.

EDITORIAL

Tour’s journey is important

The Tour de Rock is not a race, it’s a ride, but then again, maybe it is a race – if not to beat cancer, then to try.

Twenty-one benevolent, brave, fit riders set out Saturday (Sept. 19) on the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock, a two-week cycling journey from the north end of Vancouver Island, to points west, then all the way to the southernmost shore.

The participants – 17 police officers, three members of the military and a media rider – have been pedaling to checkpoints along the way, not in a cycle sprint to the finish, but as a team. They’re not out to win any yellow jerseys, rather, they’re supporting,

together, the yellow daffodil that symbolizes the Canadian Cancer Society and its good work.

The Cops for Cancer’s efforts have raised $20 million since the ride’s inception in 1998. That money can and will make a difference, going not only to programs for children with cancer and their families, but also to pediatric cancer research.

There are two ways that we, as a community, can be part of the Tour de Rock, which passed through Port Alberni on Friday (Sept. 25). The first is to donate to the fundraising efforts, which can still be done online at www.tourderock.ca. The other way we can help is simply to watch for the tour on the Island Highway, yield the right-of-way, and offer our smiles, waves, thumbs-up and encouragement.

Because they’re pedalling toward something good and true and worthy. There are sick kids here, and elsewhere, and it will forever be so, and we will be the ones who must care for them and care about them.

Mailbag: Feedback on elections, eclipses, predictions

Green leader deserves say

To the Editor,Last time I checked,

Elizabeth May is still leader of one of Canada’s federal political parties and still running in October’s election.

So why aren’t the media giving her equal time and asking her the same questions posed to leader of other “main” federal parties?

At least ask Elizabeth May what her responses are to the other leaders’ answers to the questions she’s not being asked.

Otherwise, it appears the media are getting sucked into (and thereby contributing to) the vortex of exclusionary politics created by Ms. May’s competitors.

Surely the media aren’t afraid she might challenge the status-quo too much?

That’s what makes news.

So let’s get with the program, eh?!

Drilling should not be allowed

To the Editor,If drilling is allowed

in Nova Scotia is B.C. next? The risk is far

to high and a 21-day capping of a blowout is totally insane due to the destruction caused to our oceans, therefore Shell’s application should be rejected.

For more information, visit http://action.sumofus.org/a/shell-21-day-blowout/.

If you want change, vote

To the Editor,In this super

extended version of a federal election it seems that one issue has dominated: strategic voting.

This isn’t new. We heard it in 2011

as well, but this time it seems to have reached a fever pitch and I admit to getting caught up in it as well.

However, after many hours of consideration and study I’ve found that there seems to be one thing that a massive number of Canadians agree on thanks to the last four years of destructive and disturbing Harper governance.

People want a change in government.

That is a key difference from last time.

If every one of those

people voted for that change it would be impossible for the Conservative party to form government.

What’s more, instead of worrying about calculations and best chances and next times, people could simply vote for the change they want to see.

That sounds like a much easier sell to the legions of non-voters, who are the ones truly holding the keys to 24 Sussex, than the current strategy that only appeals to the hyper-politically aware.

Chris Alemany,Port Alberni

Writer predicts election results

To the Editor,The federal election

is still three weeks away, but with all of the facts and reality on the table, the final result has been

calculated.The federal

Conservatives will win the federal election either in a majority or minority government. The federal Liberals will become the official Opposition party.

The federal NDP will become the third party in parliament.

Howling at the super moon

To the Editor, Since childhood I

haven’t given omens and superstitions a second thought. After watching the eclipse of the super-sized harvest ‘blood moon’, I felt a strange compulsion to go up to the attic, unlock my cobweb-infested streamer trunk and take out my old collection of turkey leg bones.

For half an hour or more I insanely

shouted at the bones, “Tell me what it means!” and then threw them on the floor.

Each time they bounced and twirled before settling. Each time they formed the letters ‘J’ and ‘T’.

Suddenly I understood the lunar message: red is the colour of the Liberal party; each Christmas I eat a drumstick; Justin Trudeau was born on Dec 25; and the bones miraculously and incessantly formed his initials, JT.

The moon spoke to me. I now know who to vote for. No longer do I have to watch orchestrated debates, listen to spin-doctored ads; or read partisan pamphlets. A relief.

QUESTION

This week’s question:

Are you any closer to deciding who to vote for in the federal election?

Do you support the idea of a ring road around Port Alberni to get trucks off city streets?

Yes – 83.3% No – 16.7%

? !

From / A8This is what

happens in fortunate places like Canada that already have access to justice.

O’Neill read off a long list of existing B.C. legislation that protects water, air, wildlife, food, public health and so on. Helps replied that this bill of rights would “consolidate” all that.

One more layer of bureaucracy, that’s the Victoria spirit.

Williams Lake Mayor Walt Cobb pleaded

with rural delegates to reject this “David Suzuki propaganda” that is designed to put more roadblocks in the way of the very resource industries that provide our modern comforts.

Alas, the resolution passed in a show of hands that should have been, but wasn’t, put to a counted vote.

‘One more layer of bureaucracy’


The super moon rises over Mount Arrowsmith, Sunday night.

Truth and Love are indestructible. They can be rejected, but not destroyed. We knew a young man, Brian, a friend of our son, who was alone, caste of his house by his mother. He had no training beyond high school, aimless, no thought or plan for his future, depressed.I invited him into our family. Brian chose to stay in his room and watch television. He came out only for meals. He did not help around the house or participate in family events. After we discovered he stole some money, we asked him to leave.Years later, Brian contacted me and said he was doing fi ne, and thanked me. For what? We couldn’t help him, we threw him out.He said “for just being there and caring for me when no one else would”. Acts of Love and Truth are timeless and powerful even when they are rejected.

The ups and downs of Tour de RockSUSAN QUINN

ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

When the 21 riders in the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock rounded the final turn on the Highway 4 Hump coming into Port Alberni, they were greeted with the flashing lights and red serge from a full contingent of Port Alberni RCMP members cheering them on.

Riders continued on to Walmart, where members of the public as well as a trio of junior riders past and present greeted them.

Riders also stopped at the Johnston Road Co-op, École Alberni Elementary, AW Neill School and the Royal Bank before a rest at the Best Western Barclay Hotel, then to Boston Pizza for the family carnival and pizza dinner.

Hump day, as the trip into Port Alberni is called, marked the midway point of the 1,000-kilometre Tour de Rock. The trip began Sept. 19 in Port Alice and riders experienced some of the wettest weather since they began training, support member Kyle Slavin said.

“Through seven months of training they had amazing weather. For them to have some pretty intense weather for their first few days of riding hardened them,” said Slavin, who was a Black Press media rider in 2012.

Saturday morning before the team departed for the West Coast, former junior rider and cancer survivor Kayla Aolick held a brief memorial for the late Mike Lawless a Saanich Police sergeant who was the tour’s biggest motivator on Hump day.

The team will ride into Victoria on Friday, Oct. 2 for the finale.

STRONGER PENSIONS AND HEALTH CARE with Gord Johns and Tom MulcairEveryone deserves to retire with security. But after 10 years of Stephen Harper, too many seniors are struggling with inadequate pension income, sky-high prescription costs, and gaps in seniors’ health care.

Launch a universal prescription drug plan to lower prices and provide better coverage.

Lift seniors out of poverty by increasing the Guaranteed Income Supplement.

Conservative candidate John Duncan takes the mic as Marxist-Lenninist candidate Barbara Biley, NDP candidate Gord Johns, Liberal candidate Carrie Powell-Davidson and Green Party candidate Glenn Sollitt (not pictured) await their turn to speak at an all-candidates meeting on Sept. 29 at the Italian Hall.



Lights in party-specific colours lit up the Courtenay-Alberni all-candidates forum at the Italian Hall on Sept. 29.

It was a night of bold promises from NDP candidate Gord Johns.

“We will repeal Bill C-51 and Bill C-24,” both Johns and Green

Party candidate Glenn Sollitt promised to cheers from the approximately 200 person audience.

Conservative candidate John Duncan, a sitting MP for the riding formerly known as Vancouver Island North, was put on the defensive.

“I can tell you that the act [Bill C-51] specifically excludes

lawful advocacy and protest,” said Duncan.

“These people criticizing Bill C-51 know that but this is a political operation.”

Sollitt was also on the attack.

“We’re going to make omnibus bills illegal,” he said to cheers from the crowd.

Tax credits were the subject of some heated debate.

“Tax credits are something the Liberals are committed to giving because our goal is to put more money into the pockets of the Canadians who really need it,” said Liberal candidate Carrie Powell-Davidson. A tax-free child care benefit is part of that, she [email protected]

ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

A short bench and early season jitters worked against the Port Alberni Black Sheep in a 25–25 tie with Cowichan Piggies in B.C. Rugby Union road play last Saturday.

The Black Sheep hit the score sheet first with a try from Matt Kelly then a penalty goal from Jordan Kurucz, going up 8–0. Cowichan responded with three unanswered tries to

take a 15–8 lead.Ty Shannon

intercepted a pass and ran 50 metres to score for Port Alberni, and with a conversion by Kurucz that brought the Sheep even at 15–15 at halftime.

Cowichan scored

off a driving lineout early in the second half to go up 20–15. Ryan Turner and Kurucz scored for the Black Sheep to put Port Alberni up 25–20, before penalty trouble cost the Sheep the game.

“Our discipline let us down and they got us pinned in our end,” coach Jas Purewal said. Cowichan was able to score the tying try.

The Black Sheep pressured for the final 11 minutes but were unable to capitalize.

Saulnier, Vandermolen win Mac ChallengeThe Alberni Golf

Club’s men’s league had a great crowd and great weather for the Mac Five Challenge held on Sunday.

It was probably the highest number of competitors we have had at an event all season.

Top honours went to the twosome of Paul Saulnier and Bob Vandermolen, followed by Phil Anker and Bill Barrett, Vic Carlton and Mel Trelvik, Fred Fredrickson and Mike Savard, Jerry White and Steve White, Jim Rhodes and Ron

Barker, Lloyd Fairley and Gerry Fagan, Jacque Giovetti and Gerry Toms, Bill Johnston and Devin Cusson, Dave Mann and Steve Pointon, Bill Bjornson and Jack Sparks.

Winning the final prize was the twosome of Wayne Johnstone and Masami Hirayama.

Closet to the pin winners were, Tyler Ruel on No. 2. James

Weening on No. 4, Bob Matlock on No. 13 and Clive Brown on No. 17.

Club Captain Preban Rasmussen presented a cheque for $500 to Jenn Collette of Ty Watson House from monies raised through our Charity Closest to the Pin each week.

That brings the Men’s Club sponsored events to a close, although we will continue to have non-sponsored events.

Henry was a school bus driver for over 30 years and alsoa member of Timbre Choir for over 40 years. He enjoyed skiing on Mount Arrowsmith and Mount Washington, as well as camping, � shing, hiking, playing cards, listening/singing to music and watching old movies, one of his favorites being Prisoner of Zenda.

With the return of school and work for us all, I, for one, would dearly like to take o� to a fantastical world of imagination. But sadly, that doesn’t always work, so why not pick up a book about the Imagine Nation instead? Originally published as Jack Blank and the Imagine Nation, The Accidental Hero by Matt Myklusch, stars a young boy whose only escape from life is an old comic book. Living a dreary life in St. Barnaby’s Home for the Hopeless, Abandoned, Lost, and Forgotten, Jack isn’t exactly optimistic about his future as a toilet brush cleaner. But when the villainous robot from Jack’s comic books crash-lands in the yard, and a

mysterious emissary arrives to whisk Jack away to the Imagine Nation, he knows that his life will never be the same again. The Imagine Nations is a place for extraordinary people, with extraordinary powers, and Jack is one of them. But what Jack doesn’t know, is that he’s got a big secret in his past...and in his future.

I’m always surprised by how few people have heard of this series. It’s one of my favorites! The vast scope of the world of the Imagine Nation is fantastical, yet completely believable. After reading The Accidental Hero, and moving to the Imagine Nation...wait, I don’t think I was supposed to say that. Tell you what, why not check out this amazing work of � ction (cough, cough) and join me? The Imagine Nation is waiting...but � rst Jack will have to decide if he could be the world’s greatest hero – or its greatest villain.

The Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District was successful in getting all three of its resolutions passed at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver last week.

The ACRD had sponsored three resolutions: to re-examine raw log export policies, to fully fund police-based victim services programs and to establish a fund for search and rescue operations.

Passing of UBCM resolutions does not ensure provincial approval, it simply lends weight to municipalities’ requests.

But it’s not just the resolutions that make the UBCM worthwhile, said Mayor Mike Ruttan.

“Lots of connections with other communities” is a big benefit of the UBCM, Ruttan said.

“Good connections with people in various Ministries,” he added.

Coun. Chris Alemany echoed the networking aspect of the UBCM.

“We were in a speed meeting with the Ministry of Forests for 15 minutes to talk about trying to get more direct lines of communication between municipalities and

forest companies enshrined in the Private Managed Forest Land Act,” said Alemany, adding that the Minister himself was not present.

“I will be surprised if anything immediate comes of it, but they were at least willing to listen and receive our information,” he said.

For Ruttan, the meetings helped him get an idea of how things are run at a higher government

level.“It’s helped

put things into perspective,” said Ruttan. However, while the UBCM was valuable, Ruttan said he will wait and see just how useful the resolutions are.

“Do those decisions that are made have any influence whatsoever on the provincial government? I don’t know.”[email protected]
