Hospital Auxiliary donates $150,000 The West Coast General Hospital Auxiliary celebrated 100 years in 2013 with a float in the July 1st parade with ladies dressed in vintage clothing and about 20 members in their distinctive pink smocks marching and carrying a banner. The hospital auxiliary have approximately 110 members. Last year they pledged $100,000.00 to the hospital for new equipment. And they also donated $50,000.00 to the Hospital Foundation towards the purchase of a new ultrasound machine. To raise those funds the auxiliary operates their Thrift Shop called “The Attic” and the gift shop in the hospital. In April The Attic was voted Best Thrift Shop in the valley of the eight shops here. The Attic Thrift Shop donates clothing , housewares and bedding to the homeless shelter as well as supplying blankets and pillows to the SPCA.What they can’t sell in the

shop goes to the Salvation Army. The auxiliary also holds two bazaars a year, one in October and a smaller one in November called the Mini-Bazaar which they host in the foyer at the hospital. The auxiliary also sponsors about 20 students as candy stripers (and they still call them candy stripers). Every year the auxiliary gives two $2000.00 bursaries to students going into a medical field. Last year they tried something new with a separate store set up for Christmas in the mall on Johnston Road which worked very well and is planned again this Christmas. Several of the members donate their time at the four blood clinics held every year. Like all hospital auxiliaries they need more volunteers. To join the Auxiliary contact Roberta Jensen at 250-723-1299.

Above, the hospital gift shop and The Attic thrift shop below, are vehicles for raising funds for WCGH that are run by volunteer members of the hospital auxiliary.

The West Coast General Hospital Auxiliary sponsors the candy striper program at the hospital with more than 20 students volunteering.

Valley SENIORS

Our writer: Valley Seniors is a monthly feature compiled by Orlando Delano and featuring residents living in Port Alberni seniors complexes.

Bob Hudson makes music and memories the sudden passing of Gloria Venning, he was asked to conduct the weekly “Music Therapy” program at Fir Park. “I now play weekly at Fir Park, Abbeyfield and Heritage Place as well as Westhaven and Echo Village once a month and also once a month at their “Hymn Sing” at Fir Park and Echo Villages,” says

Hudson. Every December, Hudson joins the RCMP carollers by playing Christmas songs on their visits to all the seniors’ homes in the Valley. “I really enjoy being able to play the old songs and keep them lively, but far more than this, I enjoy the seniors and their response to music.”

- M O N T H LY-

seniors came with instruments and played and sang old songs. After the opening of Fir Park Village in the early 1980s, he played the piano from time to time and once a month with his church group at the “Hymn Sing” sessions. He did the same when Echo Village opened in 1992. And, after

“When I looked back, I feel blessed to have chosen this community,” he comments. “This is a great place without the cost and traffic of the Vancouver area, for example. “Once here, I joined several organizations such as the Auxiliary RCMP (12 years); the Sproat Lake Fire Department (35 years). I also sang with “Timbre!” choral group for a number of years, including a special performance by the group at the Carnegie Hall in New York.” Bob and Margaret have three children, all living in different communities in the province, and enjoy their seven grandchildren who visit them every summer in their house at the lake. Their house by the lake was a dream for Hudson, who had always wished to live closer to the water. Hudson’s career as a teacher in the science department was held at ADSS, where he taught general science and biology, subjects he enjoyed very

Hudson, who continues being one of the most popular musicians in Port Alberni, was recently recognized by the Abbeyfield board of directors and presented with a certificate of appreciation, on behalf of the residents, for his volunteer work for more than 10 years.

Bob Hudson was born to play music. “I had begged for a piano from the time I was six years old, but my parents could not afford one so I got an accordion that I played until I was 12,” says Hudson, one of the most popular music volunteers for seniors in the Alberni Valley for several decades. The practice on the accordion helped Hudson know the chords he wanted to use to accompany his right hand and helped develop the style he has at the piano today. The former school teacher was born in 1940. At the time his father was on his way to England and then Dieppe, where he was captured and spent the rest of the war in Stalag 8. Hudson’s mother moved to Vancouver to await the return of her husband and enrolled Hudson in the Ruth Morton Baptist Church Sunday School. Hudson attended General Brock School and Van Tech, which he chose because of their science program. In 1958 he went to the University of BC for a year. But, in order to support his mother, separated from her father at that time, he worked for BC Tel for four years, reapplying later to UBC and finally graduating in 1965. By this time, he had met Margaret, whom he married in 1965. After taking his one year of teacher preparation, he applied for teaching positions. The first district to respond was Port Alberni, and since his brotherin-law lived here, he accepted.

◆ COVER STORY

Artist gains perspective in art KATYA SLEPIAN ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

KATYA SLEPIAN/ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

Shayne Lloyd works on one of the panels for a piece of public artwork commemorating the 1964 tsunami that swept up Alberni Inlet.

There’s a bright new mural on Third Avenue and it represents a brand new beginning for Port Alberni-based artist Shayne Lloyd. Bright, colourful and located in front of the David Oscienny Accounting Office on the Third Avenue hill, it’s a visually loud welcome to uptown. “I’ve always wanted to do a mural,” said Lloyd. “Paint big, not just on a small little canvas that you can squeeze into your room but a big wall.” It’s also the permanence of a mural that attracts Lloyd.

“I’ve gone through periods of doing lots of art and I would destroy my art. I would cut up canvases and smash windows I’d painted on,” he said. “You just end up feeling sh**ty. At the end of the day that art could still be possibly appreciated by somebody...better to just give it away if that’s what I was just going to do.” The past couple years have come with some challenges for Lloyd. Having the mural to focus on for the past year has allowed him to get away from them. “To have something positive to focus on has been good because...I felt like an

the bank. “If I can make it by doing something I love, that’s great and that’s where the selfpromotion comes into play.” One avenue Lloyd’s exploring is teaching art. “I’m going to be getting a fine arts degree with a yearand-half teaching post-baccalaureate,” he said. The goal is to start school in the fall and get the qualifications to be able to teach high school art. “Rather than teaching people what to do with what little money they have, it’s time to try something more in line with where my spirit is at.” But while becoming an art teacher is a goal, it’s not the end goal. “I feel like if I’m really humble, if I do really hard work then maybe I don’t need to become a teacher, maybe I can just do art.”
