In the coming days, Island Timberlands will begin upgrading their Shoemaker Bay (opposite side of the Alberni Inlet) log sort by paving the dirt deck as well as performing other improvements.

The work is being completed by local contractors and will require some blasting

over the next few weeks, according to a notice from Island Timberlands.

This is not an expansion of their log sort but an improvement to already existing infrastructure which the company says will enhance environmental protections.

SUSAN QUINNALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

The City of Port Alberni will hold a meeting to discuss

the future of a 68-acre plot of city-owned land in Westporte, this Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2015 from 6–8 p.m. at Echo Centre in the Dogwood Room.

Duane Flory, who has lived in the Mary Street flood plain at Westporte since 1974,

is concerned any large development will ultimately cause flooding.

“They want to tear it down and put in houses. We’re afraid they’re going to put more drainage in Lugrin Creek and flood us,” Flory said.

“We want some greenspace. There’s deer and bear and birds in there like you wouldn’t believe.”

Large scale development of the area would mean “there wouldn’t be any wildlife habitat left,” he said.

The city’s announcement of the public meeting did not specify plans for the 68 acres; only an interest in discussing “possible” development with neighbours.

Last March the community said no to a request from Tsawaayuus Rainbow Gardens seniors’ facility to lease them land where a park is presently located in south Westporte in order for the seniors’ place to expand.

One of the options presented for relocating the park had been an undeveloped area on the north side of the Westporte neighbourhood.

BC food product sales set recordTOM FLETCHER

BLACK PRESS

B.C.’s farm and food product industry is growing, even though the number of farmers isn’t.

Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick hosted farmers and food producers at the B.C. legislature Tuesday to

mark B.C. Agrifoods Day and announce that sales of B.C. food products set a record of $12.3 billion in 2014. That’s up 5.9 per cent from the previous year, which was up 3.5 per cent from 2012.

“Local people are buying local products, that’s a big part,” Letnick

said in an interview. “Our exports are increasing. We’ve had a record year, just under $3 billion in exports.”

Two thirds of B.C. export sales go to the U.S. China is second with $264 million in sales, and Japan bought $199 million worth in 2014.

“Our number one agri-food product continues to be dairy,” Letnick said. “Number 2 is farmed salmon, so that might be news to a few people.”

With family farms and new farmers, is B.C.’s farm base growing?

“We’re holding our own,” Letnick said.

October 26th, 2015 – A good man died today – GORDON DOUGLAS BRAITHWAITE.

He was born April 3, 1928, in Onaway, Alberta, and spent his fi rst twelve years in the Volmer - St.Albert area before the family relocated to Vancouver Island.

Gordie’s fi rst two school years in BC were spent living with relatives in Victoria as his family had moved to a logging facility up Mt. Tuam, Saltspring Island, and then to Port Renfrew - where there was limited schooling. Gordie had just turned 14 when he left school and started his ‘career in the bush’ as a ‘logger’ – a career he loved. Over the years he worked as a Sparkchaser (for the summer – when he was 13) a Whistle Punk, Chokerman, Chaser, Rigging Slinger, Faller, Second Loader, Head Loader, Hooktender, Fire Warden, Woods Foreman and ending as General Foreman with MacMillan-Bloedel until his retirement at the age of 62.

When he was 16 he moved with his family to the Duncan area where he met and, in May, 1949, married Elsie Lloyd - and where their 7 children (fi ve girls and two boys) were born. In 1952 he started working at Shawnigan Division for MacMillan-Bloedell - eventu-ally becoming Woods Foreman – a position he also fi lled when he transferred to Copper Canyon Division in 1967. In 1970, when he became General Foreman of MB’s Kennedy Division, the family moved to Ucluelet. In 1973 they moved to Port Alberni when he became General Foreman at Franklin River Division – the largest logging camp in the world. In 1978, he transferred to Sproat Lake Division (a shorter drive from home) and stayed there until his retirement in April, 1990 – when he and Elsie moved to the Lighthouse area, north of Qualicum Beach.

Gordie was always willing to accept executive positions for all the activities he and his family were involved with … church, Little League, basketball, grass hockey, PTA, youth groups, Loyal Order of Moose and recently the Qualicum Horne Lake Water Board. He loved his fi shing and he loved participating in sports – Softball, Badminton, Bowling, Ice Curling and, for the past 24 years, curling with the Lighthouse Floor Curlers. He was always very proud of his children – Kerrie & Wim Jellema; Judy Hill; Shannon and Bill Van Wormer; Lyle & Marilyn Braithwaite; Faye & Ken Davidson, Erin & John Keizer; and Daryl & Annie Braithwaite – his 24 grandchildren, and their spouses, and his 36 great grandchildren. He thoroughly enjoyed the recent family reunion when 91 of us were able to take part in a four day ‘get-together’. Talk about being ‘blessed’.

Formerly with the United Church Gordie has been a member, since July 1989, of the Cedar Grove Reformed Church, in Port Alberni, and, like Elsie and his family, these good friends will really miss him – as will his sister, Margaret Baird, Cobble Hill, B.C., his sister-in-law Birnie Braithwaite, Duncan, B.C., and many nieces and nephews and their families.. Sadly, in 1985, Gordie was predeceased by his eldest Grandson, Lloyd Hill, aged 15. Predeceased also by his parents, George and Ellen Braithwaite, and two older brothers, Lloyd and Wesley Braithwaite.

Yes, we will all defi nitely miss ‘Gordie’, ‘Uncle’, ‘Dad’, ‘Grandpa’ or ‘Greatpa’ but this kind, loving man will certainly never be forgotten.

Many thanks to the North Island Care Givers and Palliative Care Nurses for their excel-lent care and concern for Gordie over the past two months.

A memorial service will be held, at Arrowsmith Baptist Church, 4283 Glenside Rd., Port Alberni, B.C., at 1:00 p.m.

Combat irritability with these helpful tips

Irritability is something all people experience.

What sets it apart from other emotional states is the extent to which it pollutes the emotional atmosphere.

Irritability is the carbon monoxide of emotional pollutants. One person’s

irritable mood can release negativity and stress-inducing vibes that negatively impact an entire office, household, or classroom.

Feeling irritable means feeling on edge, grumpy, cranky, and sour. A person’s tolerance is lower and the minor frustrations that are usually shrugged off are bothersome. The reactions to irritants are likely to be much

more aggressive than usual, leading to a person to snap, bark and chastise others.

When the boss is irritable, word quickly spreads around the office to stay out of the way. When mom or dad comes home from work in an irritable state, it takes all of a few minutes for the kids to exchange knowing glances and quietly withdraw into their rooms (or put on the earphones).

Irritability is no treat for the person experiencing it, either. Stress hormones surge into action and with the same fight-or-flight mentality as the caveman had when they were on bear-watch duty at their cave entrance. The slightest movement or noise can cause jitteriness and people to feel they are under attack, with nary a threat in sight.

Most people would

happily snap their fingers and rid themselves of this toxic emotional state if they could. Alas, finger snapping is not an effective treatment. But there are seven key things that can be done.

1. Figure out the source

The best way to reduce irritability is to figure out where it is coming from—and then address it. Identify when the irritable feelings first started and consider what may have set them off. It is also important to remember that while the reactions might feel complex at the moment, the issue that triggered them might be simple.

2. Reduce caffeine and alcohol

Too much caffeine during the day and too much alcohol at night are frequent sources of irritability for many people. So consider cutting back.

3. Consider the little things

Often people dismiss considering things that shouldn’t make them irritable even if they actually do. For example, a competitive person might become

irritable when they lose at Scrabble. Since they know that’s silly, they ignore the fact that their mother’s triple word score vaulted her into the lead and triggered their internal sourness.

Being honest and simply acknowledging that something is irritable is that often enough to take the edge off.

4. Be compassionateBeing

compassionate towards oneself can be a powerful way to calm churning emotions.

Acknowledge the irritable feelings and how unpleasant they are.

Then imagine getting a hug from a caring someone.

Use that compassion and consider how a person with an irritated mood affects others and how important it is to not take it out on them.

5. Take perspectivePeople usually

feel irritable about small-to-medium size annoyances—the kind not remembered in a few days or weeks. Take a few minutes and think about of the larger picture .

Foundation, 686 Broadway #150, Vancouver, BC, V5Z 1G1. Our sincerest gratitude

goes to Wendy Johnsen and Colleen for going above and beyond with Anne’s medical

care at home.

We hoped we had more time, but it was not to be. She will be greatly missed but always remembered.

FLEMING, Anne passed away peacefully in her sleep at home on Nov. 7, 2015, at the age of 65, with family by her side. Th is was following a courageous battle with ovarian cancer for nearly two and a half years.She is survived by her loving husband Glen; daughter Robyn (Mike), sons Brett and Bo (Alanna); grandchildren Cory, Justin (Leslie), Nathan, Mia and Keaton; great-grandchildren Haylie and Maria; father Wallace; mother June; siblings Leo (Susan), Bruce (Elnora), Susan, Tracy (Leonard), and Cody; nieces and nephews Shannon, Tiff any, Brittany, Rebekah, Jennifer, Nic, Ashley and Jessica; as well as numerous extended family members.Anne was born in Edmonton, but grew up and went to school in Calgary, Nelson and Surrey. She lived in B.C. on the mainland for many years as an adult, moved to Qualicum Beach (Vancouver Island) 1981, then settled in Port Alberni in 1983. She soon fell in love with the Alberni Valley and a few years later opened Flandangles Kitchen and Gifts store. Th is became her pride and joy and has been in operation for 27 years. Not only was she a successful business owner, she was strongly committed to the community through organizations such as Salmon Fest, Kinettes, Sorority and the Women’s Business Network, to name just a few. She enjoyed spending time on ‘her’ island on Sproat Lake, traveling, camping and, of course, shopping. She got to many places on her bucket list over the last year or so, including: Portugal (a favourite), France, England, Mexico, Newfoundland, PEI and Nova Scotia. She attended her grand-son’s wedding in New Brunswick, visited her Aunt Rosemary in Montreal, stayed in old Quebec City, and earlier this year fl ew to Alberta to see longtime friend Lorraine and to visit her father. When not running her store, Anne loved being with her family most of all. She was strong-willed, competitive, feisty, fully involved and ever generous. She loved playing (and winning) cribbage, hearts, scrabble, bananagrams and solitaire whenever she could. A celebration of Anne’s life will be held sometime in the spring of 2016.

Keep calm, carry onFrom / A20

Consider things that are going well and the things to be grateful about.

6. Calm nervous energy

Since irritability activates the fight-or-flight response, taking a quick walk or run, or doing some quick push-ups/crunches to

rid the excess energy that might be fueling the irritability might be helpful. Fresh air on a leisurely walk could do wonders as well.

7. Find quiet or alone time

For those who cannot use exercise to calm nervous energy, the entirely

opposite approach works as well. Find a quiet place to think things through, or to disengage from the commotion and activity.

Irritability can be the mind’s way of alerting a person to needing a break, so take one. Listen to music, do some stretching or yoga, meditate, or take a bubble bath. When done, take a deep breath and prepare to re-engage so the system isn’t shocked back into irritability upon re-entry into the fray.

Irritability is treatable and speaking with your doctor (GP), medical health professional or a therapist/counsellor might also be helpful..

Trains will be operating on the Alberni Pacific Railway tracks between Argyle Street and McLean Mill National Historic Site in Port Alberni as the British Columbia Institute of Technology brings its conductor training program back to the city.

Until Nov. 25, 2015, trains will be operating anytime between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m.

Drivers are asked to pay special attention at rail crossings. “Please obey the signals, particularly if the trainees are on the round after dark,” APR spokesperson David Hooper

said. “Students will sometimes use flares and lanterns for signalling in the dark. Please exercise caution when you see them.”

Walkers and all-terrain vehicle drivers should also use caution near the railroad tracks, especially on the Roger Street Trestle.

Trains running until Nov. 25

In 1956 a young 18-year old boy, Tony Vanschie, left his homeland of Holland and trav-eled to Canada with only two suitcases.

He ended up in the Fraser Valley, Agassiz to be exact and there he worked on a dairy farm, as farming is what he knew about from his homeland.

Vanschie only worked there for a year before he came to the Alberni Valley and went to work at the APD mill for six years.

He then went to work for a local roofer as an apprentice and then worked for Hayes Roofing and was with them for 16 years before starting out on his own with Vanschie Roofing a compa-ny that is still in business.

As Vanschie said, “Once I started my own business I never looked back.”

Vanschie hired his son Rick to work with him 30 years ago and he also has an employee Tom Pearce who has been with

him for 27 years. His son Mitch fills in whenever he can find the time. They also have a part time employee, Wyatt Race.

The Vanschies on average, roof 200 houses a year. Roofing has changed over the years in that they used to use asphalt shingles and now use laminated fiberglass shingles. They also do shake roofs, torch on, metal and

insulated decks. Vanschie owns the company

but his son says he is not the average boss.

“My son calls me the snoop-er-visor as I have a hand in every job we do. I am also the oldest working roofer in the Valley.”

Vanschie is liability and WCB approved and also offers seniors a 10% discount.
