or the past six years, Jean Thomas has been going into elementary school classrooms to teach the aboriginal language to young students. This year, Thomas, a Nuu-chahnulth Education Worker (NEW), is at E.J. Dunn for the first time. At the age of 66, she is helping to contribute to the preservation and expansion of her heritage. Thomas goes into the classrooms primarily from Kindergarten to Grade 3, but occasionally up to Grade 6. She started out at Eighth Avenue Elementary, where she returned for the past two years, and prior to that, taught at Gill and Alberni. Her role is to make learning fun and interactive.

“I do activities with the kids,” Thomas said. “We have made button blankets, mini drums and did a series on the Raven Tales movie.” She also includes

activities for the various seasons and holidays. There is also a theory component to her lessons where she has the students write words and letters from the

phonetic alphabet. “I find they pick it up easier in Kindergarten and Grades 1–3,” Thomas said. The language is evolving, but she can still teach the basics

Port Alberni’s longest three streets could soon be amalgamated into one, if a proposal from city council to unify Gertrude Street, Stamp Avenue and Third Avenue is accepted. “That’s the one street that stitches the two sides of the city together so we decided a year ago that it would be a good process to go through in order to rename it,” said Mayor Mike Ruttan following Monday’s council meeting. “We would rename it on the basis of a competition and see what names people come up with.” According to city planner Scott Smith, the change would affect nearly 250 properties.

“The proposed street name change to Gertrude, Stamp and Third would directly impact about 110 commercial properties and about 140 residential properties,” Smith told council on Monday.

That’s the one street that stitches the two sides of the city together... – Mike Ruttan “If a street name was changed the city would certainly install new street signage and we would need to change our digital mapping and information systems.” Cont’d on A4

The Port Alberni Friendship Centre could face staff layoffs and cuts to critical services for indigenous families over funding setbacks from the Department of Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada(INAC). There are two issues surrounding funding for Friendship Centres across the province: ongoing uncertainty over Community Capacity Support (CCS) program funding, and the fact that the core-funding pot of money—which used to fund Friendship Centres exclusively— will now be shared with multiple other organizations. “The previous Conservative government amalgamated a number of pooled money for urban services and they put

We’re a service delivery network. We’re not political... – Carl Mashon it under the Urban Aboriginal Strategy as one envelope and they created two streams of money,” said Carl Mashon, acting executive director of the BC Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres. The two streams of money are the CCS that provides operational funding to urban Aboriginal community organizations to help them deliver programs and services, and the Urban Partnership (UP) money which is project-specific money.

Funding setback threatens Friendship Centre

Brendon Gibson, left, an addictions counsellor at the Port Alberni Friendship Centre with Ron Martin, centre, and Ann Barker, right, who has accessed the Friendship Centres services for more than 30 years.

Mashon said there’s about $43 million for those two streams of money usually distributed among all Friendship Centres in the country. However, INAC implemented new criteria and guidelines this year that opens up $23 million core-funding

to other aboriginal organizations as well as friendship centres. The friendship centre association says INAC is breaching the agreed terms and conditions and that the proposed changes will have negative impacts on their agencies’ capacity to deliver

services. “Last week we got a demand note from the department saying you now have to comply with new criteria and guidelines,” Mashon said. The core-funding has been opened up to other aboriginal organizations,

specifically political organizations, Mashon added. “We’re a service delivery network. We’re not political and we’re there to provide community and family services...That’s a concern because they have not expanded the pool of money,” Mashon said. The sudden change should not affect every Friendship Centre, Mashon said, because the larger facilities run on a larger budget. Therefore the funding they receive from CSS, although still important, may not be as critical to them than some of the smaller centres who rely significantly on the funding to keep running. “Port Alberni is kind of a medium-size centre and they’re well managed but I know it’s a concern for them too,” Mashon said. “I think

Port Alberni is in a better position than others but they will be concerned if this delay is several more months.” Port Alberni Friendship Centre executive director Cyndi Stevens agrees. “This will absolutely affect the way we do business,” she said. “It will mean laying off staff, it will mean reduced ability to do things, to respond to proposals...it’s absolutely going to increase our workload.” Stevens said corefunding dollars were already reduced by $30,000 about 20 years ago and now the further reductions will create even more difficulty in keeping services running and staff employed. “They haven’t even put out the call for funding, I believe that’s going to affect a lot of centres.

Speaking after the meeting, Ruttan said that the cost to the city was yet to be determined. According to Smith, property owners and tenants would be responsible for changing any addressspecific items. “Property owners and tenants would be responsible for

ensuring that the address change was reflected in all their documents. They’d have to change their driver’s licence, any banking and financial information. “Businesses would have to change their business accounts, letterheads, logo advertising, websites and any legal documents they

have,” Smith said. He recommended that the city seek public input from affected businesses, residents and local emergency services prior to making any changes. Coun. Denis Sauve said he didn’t see a need to change the street names, especially given the cost and hassle.

Gertrude Street changes names twice between Compton Road and Argyle Street. City council would like to name all three sections something the same.

However, Treadsetters Shoes owner Barbara Mellaart said that the street name doesn’t even enter into when she’s giving directions. “It’s one strip. When we give people directions we tell them to take this road all the way through to Pete’s Meats, 7-11, the name of the road doesn’t come into it.” “It’s the dumbest thing I have ever heard,” said Mellaart. “All of those businesses from Gertrude and Johnston down are going to have to change their letterhead, their bank accounts, their cheques, it’s a

“We’re going to be affected by some degree. I have no idea what the timeline is going to be and that doesn’t help us,” Stevens said. Typically a call for proposals for funding is released in November each year and successful

applicants are disclosed in mid- to late February. That has not happened in 2016. “There should be an increase to core-funding, not a reduction,” Stevens said. “We’re not saying other areas don’t deserve that funding

two different legacies so I think it’s very valid to try to bring it together and have one name for the community to have in place,” he said. A new name is also an opportunity to showcase the city’s first nations neighbours, Alemany added. “I see this as an opportunity of finally bringing our first nations into the landscape of the city. Maybe this could finally be a place where we could have first nations representation in our streetscapes.” The names of both Gertrude Street and Stamp Avenue are historical names.

as well, we believe they do, but they should be allocating new dollars to those, not taking away from organizations that are already suffering.” Stevens said the last amount of funding they received from CSS was $170,000 and with the new changes the amount would

decrease to $120,000. “This is our 50th year and we’ve done very, very well but why do we have to continuously struggle and continually fight to keep providing services to a population that’s in need,” Stevens said. karly.blats @albernivalleynews.com

huge, huge financial burden to all of those businesses and the name of those streets have been like that since the beginning of time. Why change them?” SteamPunk Cafe owner Kevin Wright disagreed. “It’s part of growth. There are growing pains but this is going to be good for this community.

“Changing the name of the main drag going through South and Northport I don’t think has anything to do with reuniting a city—we’re already united. I’m just wondering where our priorities are being and why we’re even entertaining and doing this now,” said Sauve. He also questioned the cost of changing the street addresses in the 911 system. “For the rezoning and mapping of the 911 system... there is going to be a major cost. Who’s going to take on that cost?” Coun. Ron Paulson, who used to direct tourists during his time as a business owner and at the Multiplex, said that the cost was worth it to simplify the city streetscape for visitors. “I think this is one way of making our community more visitor friendly. I don’t know how many times I tried to explain to people how to get to the Harbour Quay and after I gave instructions they said ‘oh that’s complicated, I’m not going to bother,’” said Paulson.

SD70 cross-boundary requests nixed ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

The 2016 Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock team is unveiled in Shawnigan Lake.

Tour includes Alberni rider Port Alberni RCMP officer Brady Mathison will join the 2016 Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock this year. The 2016 team was unveiled at Shawnigan Lake School on May 6. The Islandbased team this year

includes 17 riders from Port McNeill to Victoria, and Tofino to Nanaimo. Tofino RCMP officer Gaylene Thorogood will represent the West Coast this year. The team will cycle the length of Vancouver Island

in September and October, raising money for pediatric cancer research and support programs. The tour starts Sept. 24 in Port Alice and ends Oct. 7 in Victoria. The riders will be in Port Alberni on Friday, Sept. 30.

Families hoping to enroll their children in schools outside of their immediate catchment area might be out of luck in the 2016–17 school year. School District 70 plans to preserve student spaces in Alberni schools for potential new families to the area before allowing any crossboundary enrolment. “We haven’t filled up all of our schools at max, we’re not filling them all up at this point, we are reserving some space,” said Greg Smyth, superintendent of schools. Smyth said saving spaces in schools is important for the continuation in the

“Different concepts are trying to change and I wish I could afford to take the courses every time they are offered.” Learning the language has not always been a priority for Thomas. As a member of the Tseshaht First Nation, she recalls the time when Aboriginal Peoples were banned from speaking their language. “It is important because for many years we lost the ability to speak or teach,” she said. “When we got that back, I wasn’t interested. I was married to a non-First Nations man and busy

raising three kids and working.” In 2001, she studied in a language learning program and has carried on ever since.

It is important because for many years we lost the ability to speak or teach. – Jean Thomas Thomas’ grandfather was instrumental in translating the language into English and travelled all over Canada and the U.S. meeting with

archeologists. She inherited the tapes and after listening to them, realized how much she could understand. “This is a very rewarding job,” she said. “I wish I had gotten to it 20 years ago. I love it and do not miss a single day.” She said the learning is reciprocal with the French speaking students teaching her words and phrases and has witnessed her teachings become a universal language. “When we are doing colours and numbers they will teach me the same words in French,” she said. “It is interesting because sometimes I am doing a class and the non-

First Nations kids are more interested so then the First Nations kids want to show what they know and not be shy.” The program promotes the academic success of aboriginal students as recent graduation rates have improved in B.C. The noncompletion rate of aboriginal students living on-reserve in B.C. in 2011 was 40.7 per cent, down from 46 per cent in 2006 according to a report by the C.D. Howe Institute. Of those living off-reserve, the non-completion rate in 2006 was 25.4 per cent in B.C. compared to 30.2 per cent nationally.

trend of new families moving to Port Alberni. “We have seen movement in Port Alberni,” Smyth said. “The real estate market is now alive and there are lots of families who are either moving within Port Alberni or families that are coming to Port Alberni, so we’re still preserving

space in our schools to accommodate for those students.” Cross-boundary enrolment is not something SD70 is ready for and Smyth said families who are interested enrolling their children in outof-catchment schools will have to put their names on a waiting list. Accommodating

space in schools for children who live in that catchment area and for any new families who move to the catchment area is the first priority for school trustees, prior to allowing crossboundary enrolment. “We’re just taking a very cautious approach to this.” karly.blats @albernivalleynews.com

Cycle Alberni hopes to inspire new cyclists Advocacy group hope that Bike to Work week will inspire longterm bicycle use Cycle Alberni is hoping that Bike to Work week, May 29– June 4, will inspire cyclists to stay on Port Alberni’s roads for longer than just that one week. “In Port Alberni, 1.3 per cent of commuters bike to work, which is less than the average among Vancouver Island communities at two per cent,” said Bike to Work week coordinator Sarah Thomas. “That means in Port Alberni we have a huge opportunity because with biking and walking in particular, short distances make a huge

difference.” According to Statistics Canada, 42.2 per cent of commuters currently drive less than three kilometres to work and 7.9 per cent live within one kilometre of their workplaces and still drive. “There’s a huge body of people who might cycle or walk if the opportunity was a little bit easier.” Some examples of what stops potential cyclists were seen during Cycle Alberni’s April bike counts where 20 volunteers counted 381 cyclists over two days in 10 locations across the city. “We had one

that sidewalk is challenging if you’re trying to bike on the sidewalk because you don’t feel safe on the road,” Thomas explained. She added that many people told counters that they did not feel safe on the roads. As a result of the sidewalk configuration in the dip, 65 per cent of cyclists used the straight west side sidewalk while only 20 per cent used the east side and 15 per cent used the road—where bicycles are legally supposed to be. The stats lead Thomas to believe that better sidewalk configurations would encourage cyclists.

Other challenges identified were pinch points, driver speeds, intersections and lack of lighting. “But people would love to bike if it was safe and convenient,” said Thomas, citing the newly added bike lanes at the Gertrude Street bridge as an example of cyclefriendly design. Bike to Work week takes place from May 29–June 3 with a whole slew of events. “It starts off on Sunday, May 29 with a bike rodeo for the kids at Save-On Foods, then Monday is a two--pronged event at Steampunks put on both by Kevin Wright and Gary Robertson

The idea came about at a pizza party hosted by the City of Port Alberni’s youth advisory committee. “I’m on the youth advisory committee and we hosted a pizza party to get some feedback from the youth in the community,” said Freya Knapp. “Some people from the Nanaimo youth advisory committee came and they had just started their piano project.”

popular Pianos in Parks program, and Kamloops has its famous blue piano downtown. The group of girls, made up of Knapp, Regan Pley, Frances Wilson and Becca Busby, liked the idea of painting a piano and thought it was replicable in Port Alberni. City councillor Sharie Minions has donated a piano to the students, who will be painting it next week, before meeting with Harbour Quay merchants to decide upon a more exact placement for the instrument. According to Ostwald, all of her social justice students are doing a diverse set of projects with one common thread—to make a difference. “The criteria list was that they had to make a difference,” said Ostwald. “You have to actually go and do something to qualitatively make a difference in the community to make it a better place. To me, that’s the whole thing about the projects.” The four girls hope that their project will bring a sense of community and life to Harbour Quay. “We thought it would bring a sense of community togetherness. It’s going to be in the Arts District at the Harbour Quay, hopefully, and so it’s something that everyone will know where it is,” said Knapp. The piano will be for everyone to use, she added. “Some of the ones in other cities have slogans that say ‘play me’ or ‘play music.’ Our is going to say ‘make melodies’ and it will be open for everyone to use—it’s a public piano.”

IS A NAME A NAME OR AN IDENTITY?

ity council has decided to rename the main road that connects the north and south sides of Port Alberni, to avoid confusion for visitors—the road presently changes name three times within a couple of kilometres—and to celebrate a milestone in 2017. The public will have a chance to name the road, as the city will soon start a public consultation phase on the project. It is important for a community to remember its roots. Gertrude Street was named for someone with the Anderson Company, which established the first sawmill at the head of the Alberni Canal in 1860. Stamp Avenue was named for Captain Edward Stamp, an official with the The timing Anderson Company is right for and the man this renaming responsible for starting the Hastings project. mill in Vancouver’s Burrard Inlet. Third Avenue was one of several northsouth running avenues named at the creation of New Alberni, according to the book ‘Alberni Valley Place Names’, prior to 1912. Renaming streets in Port Alberni is not without precedent: Burke Street between Margaret and Helen used to be Nanaimo Road; Seventh and Ninth Avenues were Bothwell Grove and Kelvin Grove, respectively. Stamp Avenue was moved completely in 1960, replacing the original road connecting Port Alberni and Alberni. This community will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the amalgamation of Port Alberni and Alberni in 2017, and the present council wants to have a new name in place by then. The timing is right for this renaming project. — ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

This recovery even overcomes the projected increase in forest fire loss that comes with gradually increasing temperatures and drier periods. The federal government is still working on its plan to meet greenhouse gas reduction targets agreed to in Paris last year. But the forest industry has stepped up with its own goal. I spoke last week with Derek Nighbor, president of the Forest Products Association of Canada, after he announced his industry’s “30 by 30 Climate Change Challenge.” That’s a goal to reduce the industry’s net carbon emissions by 30 megatonnes a year by 2030. That would be 13 per cent of the Canadian government emission target. Cont’d on A9

To the Editor,

Lets define “dictatorship”: a government or country in which total power is held by a dictator or a small group.

What part of going to jail or receiving a $500 fine–or both–is not connected to a dictatorship. – Dave Noble very personal questions, for example: how much is your mortgage payment per month? who pays the mortgage? Are you male or female? How

many rooms in your house, how many are bedrooms? How much is your electrical per year? I could go on and on with these foolish questions. “A government or country in which total power is held by a dictator or a small group.” Does this not sound similar to what is happening to us? A government that threatens a fine or jail or both, this sounds like a dictatorship to me. Dave Noble, Port Alberni

The ‘fault’ will be lack of preparation To the Editor,

November 11 each and every year is a day none of us should ever forget. As well, any of us living on the West Coast should never forget we live on or beside The Cascadia Fault. I read a very detailed and most interesting article online from July 20, 2015 issue of New Yorker magazine written by Kathryn Schulz about earthquakes

affecting the Cascadia subduction zone. It brought home the facts of how important earthquake preparedness truly is, for one’s self and one’s family’s survival. I have had an earthquake kit of survival supplies away from my house on my property for some years now, and hope to God I never have to use it. After reading this article, I’m glad I took the time and expense to prepare. Have you got yours? Danny Bruner, via e-mail

One strategy to lower usage is to use more tree parts From A8

One of the main strategies is salvage harvesting and developing more products that use wood. “It’s basically trying to use every part of the tree,” Nighbor said. “In forest operations right now, this is where we see a big part of the opportunity.

Instead of the residual branches and whatnot just being left aside and slashing and burning, bring more of that out and turn it into something.” That something might be a console in a luxury car constructed with wood fibre, or an 18-storey wood student residence building planned

for the University of B.C. The other is improving forest growth. Logging operations have long been required to replant areas they cut, not just in B.C. but across Canada. Another way to improve forest carbon capture is with more productive species,

with genetic techniques that increase resiliency as well as wood mass. A background paper from the B.C. forests ministry responds to common misconceptions about forest carbon, including the idea that logging should be stopped to maximize storage.

“Maximizing carbon storage in the ecosystem would make sense only if society stopped building new homes, acquiring new furniture and consuming in general,” it says. “If the flow of forest products stops, society will turn to other products with

higher greenhouse gas footprints, e.g. plastics, metal or concrete. In addition, if harvesting stopped and we continued to suppress natural disturbances, there is increased potential for larger catastrophic disturbances in the future.” If Canada wants to make a bigger

contribution to reducing greenhouse gases, forests are a good area to focus on. At 348 million hectares from the B.C. coast to Newfoundland, they represent nine per cent of the world’s forests. Tom Fletcher is B.C. columnist for Black Press.

Plant three rows of peas: Peace of mind, Peace of heart, Peace of soul. Plant four rows of squash: Squash gossip, Squash indifference, Squash grumbling, Squash selfishness. Plant four rows of lettuce: Lettuce be faithful, Lettuce be kind, Lettuce be obedient, Lettuce really love one another. No garden without turnips: Turnip for meetings, Turnip for service, Turnip to help one another. Water freely with patience and cultivate with love. To conclude our garden we must have thyme: Thyme for God, Thyme for study, Thyme for prayer. What a garden that would be.

Students seek to ban smoking in vehicles KATYA SLEPIAN ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

Alberni District Secondary students are hoping to have smoking banned in cars across the city. Three students from Anne Oswald’s Social Studies 11 class came to tell city council about their proposal on Monday night. “The smoking in vehicles bylaw was created to make smoking both tobacco and marijuana products in vehicles illegal,” said student Julia Davenport. According to the students’ proposed bylaw, vehicle owners and occupants may not: • Smoke tobacco or marijuana with passengers in a vehicle; • Smoke tobacco or marijuana in a moving vehicle; • Smoke in a vehicle without proper ventilation; • keep an ashtray inside a vehicle. In addition, smokers must stop before smoking, dispose of all ashes immediately after smoking and refrain from smoking in even a stopped vehicle unless all passengers give consent. Failure to do so is proposed to have a $50 fine. The class came up with the bylaw due to the harmful effects of secondhand smoke. “This bylaw is necessary because secondhand smoke has been shown to cause many serious health problems,” said Pharyn Frank. “The National Toxicology Program estimates that at least 250 chemicals in secondhand smoke are known to be carcinogenic or toxic. Also, adults with asthma can experience a decline in lung function while new cases of asthma may be induced in children.” According to researchers, a confined space like a

car only amplifies the air pollution levels. “A small contained space like a car can also produce dangerous air quality

levels. Canadian researchers found that a single cigarette smoked in a car produces secondhand smoke 15 times higher

than the levels found in the EPA’s hazardous rating,” Frank said, adding that even with a window open, secondhand smoke

levels quickly reach twice the safe amount. Smoking in vehicles also causes distraction, Frank said.

Help Renew VIU’s Malaspina Theatre

Wayne Coulson, Mayor Mike Ruttan, city facilities superintendent Mark Zenko, far right, and representatives from Western Forest Products and J Robbins Construction unveil city hall’s new cedar panelling.

City hall gets facelift KATYA SLEPIAN ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

Port Alberni’s city hall has a new, more modern look courtesy of $100,000 worth of cedar panelling donated by the Coulson Group. “It provides an opportunity to show what we can produce locally in the Alberni Valley with local wood, local effort, local ingenuity. It’s very much a cooperative effort in terms of how much it came together,” said Mayor Mike Ruttan on Monday. The new cedar panelling cost the city $35,000 for 400 hours of installation and was helped along by the donation of cedar panelling by the Coulson Group.

Cedar cladding for the entrance way support poles was donated by Western Forest Products. According to director of finance Cathy Rothwell, J Robbins Construction installed the panels; Dolan’s provided sheet metal for the corners and Levelton Consultants provided engineering services. The panelling has been manufactured at Coulson Forest Products sawmill for the past three years. “The idea was to take one board, slice it into thin pieces and then glue it to a backing to try to extend that board to seven times the volume. That’s been the idea, to take a species that’s just

about gone now and extend it seven times its life,” said CEO Wayne Coulson. “We’re very proud that this new council stood up and embraced the whole idea of being a cedar leader in the world with our community. It’s great that we’re able to showcase our wood products on these buildings.” According to Ruttan, it’s only the beginning of city hall renovations. “This is part of the renewal of city hall and over the next 4-5 years we will renew the things we need to renew, whether it be old carpets or painting walls or what have you.” Coulson Group CEO Wayne Coulson said

that it was a much needed facelift. “We’re pleased because at the end of the day, in a community, leadership starts at the top. We’ve always seen city hall as being the leader of the community,” said Coulson. “I remember meetings in here where we had broken chairs up in the lobby and then we’d walk into the mayor’s lobby and it would have water stains on the ceiling, the chairs were ripped... so it’s great to see that the new council has picked up on setting the standard and the expectation within the community that all of us on the corporate side are here to follow.”

A first offence for checking your phone while driving will cost B.C. drivers $543 when new penalties take effect June 1. The fine for distracted driving goes up from $167 to $368, and drivers will also be assessed four penalty points, triggering another $175 charge. The combination results in a total penalty of $888 for a second offence within a year of the first. Public Safety Minister Mike Morris said the new penalties put B.C. near the top of distracted driving fines for Canadian provinces. Two tickets in a year will also trigger an automatic review by the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles that could result in licence suspension. Public consultation over the past year found support for a tougher approach. “A lot of the input that we had indicated even higher penalties than that,” Morris said. Transportation Minister Todd Stone said the public awareness campaigns have not convinced enough people of the dangers of trying to use mobile phones or other devices without hands-free services. “Imagine trying to drive the length of a football field while you’re blindfolded,” Stone said. Central Saanich Police Chief Les Sylven, president of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police, reminded drivers that being at a stop light or stuck in a traffic jam does not mean the distracted driving penalties don’t apply. NDP public safety critic Mike Farnworth said the government didn’t need to take a year to increase one of the lowest distracted driving penalty systems in the country, and giving the superintendent

Adam Hayduk has been let go as assistant general manager and assistant coach of the Alberni Valley Bulldogs. The announcement was made Tuesday afternoon via press release that Hayduk’s contract was not renewed. He spent five years behind the ‘Dogs’ bench with head coach Kevin Willison. Also released was athletic trainer Damon Pugerude, whose two-year contract had come to an end. “I’m not going to be able to replace Adam,” said Willison. “He was very detailed, he was very passionate about hockey.” Releasing Hayduk was a budget decision made by the Port Alberni Junior Hockey Society, Willison said. “That’s

I have to answer to the board and it was their decision. “Over the years I enjoyed immensely working with Adam,” Willison said, adding that their strengths and weaknesses complemented each other. “At the end of the day, as the GM and coach I have a budget I have to work with.

Eivin takes over as sole assistant From A23

Eight players from Hayduk’s team were drafted into the Western Hockey League the week after the Sabres won gold medals. Bulldogs’ goalie coach Alex Eivin, who was also an assistant coach last year, will remain behind the bench with Willison next season. “I look forward to working with Alex in the next year to see if we can grow and make this team better,” Willison said. Eivin, a goalie himself, will look after the defencemen and goaltenders. The Bulldogs

opted not to renew Pugerude’s contract, and will bring in JT Ward as athletic trainer and equipment manager. Ward will join the team in August to prepare for the upcoming year. Ward returns to the Bulldogs with a Bachelor of Athletic and Exercise Therapy from Camosun College in Victoria, and will be in charge of strength and conditioning as well as his athletic therapist duties, Willison said. “JT has got a little bit more experience on the medical side of things and that’s why we made that move.”

Erika Margarete Mayr On May 4th, after 35 years apart, Erika left us to rejoin her husband, Ernie. In 1951, at the age of 24, Erika left her home in Frankfurt, Germany, to travel to Canada. She found herself in Port Alberni, where she met and married Ernie. Erika loved her family, cheesecake, shopping, Leonard Cohen, travelling and chocolate, although not always in that order. She is survived by sons Ron (Wendy) of Okotoks, and Bob (Brenda) of Port Alberni. She was Oma to Jason, Susan, Robyn and Stella, and a great grandmother to nine. Mom always told us “Growing old is not for sissies,” and she proved to us, many times, that she was definitely not a sissy. At Erika’s request, there will be no service.

She was predeceased by her parents and her brother Bill Skyrme and is survived by her sisters June Parks and Shirley (Bill) Cherwak, nieces Susan, Margo, Barb, & nephews Brad & Brent and their spouses and families, her special son Collin (Joanne) and their sons; her special daughters Leah, Janice & Marina and their spouses and families as well as her closest and dearest friend Waldi, many relatives in Britain and many, many dear friends. Elsie was born May 30, 1928 in Tisdale, Saskatchewan and came to Port Alberni in 1934. She attended local schools, graduating; her first job was at the Plywood Mill. She and her friend Velia started a business, the Mode Style Shop in Alberni. After selling the shop, Elsie attended Sprott Shaw College in Vancouver, completing her secretarial course and then worked for the Arthritis Society in Vancouver. She then decided to travel to Britain and worked there for three years; returning to Port Alberni in 1959 to work at the WCGH in the clerical departments, marrying Ian in 1961. Elsie retired in 1993. She loved to travel, one of her last trips was to Antarctica, her favorite place was Scotland. She enjoyed sports – ice curling, skiing, and her daily walks around the dyke with Waldi & “Molly”. Elsie loved to bake, her shortbread was famous; gardening was another passion. She volunteered at the Seaman’s Haven and for the Lifeline. A Celebration of Elsie’s life will be held Saturday, May 14th, 1:00 PM at the Best Western Barclay Hotel, 4277 Stamp Avenue, Port Alberni. In lieu of flowers, donations in Elsie’s name may be made to WCGH Foundation or Ty Watson House. Stories and condolences may be forwarded to the family by visiting www.yatesfuneral.ca

Born and raised in Port Alberni (27 years) and long time resident of Campbell River since 1972. No service on Al’s request.

Wayne began his working career as a teenager at McLeanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill and ended it with 25 years of hard work at Canfor Forest Products in Prince George receiving special recognition for his years of faithful service. He spent his retirement years in Port Alberni to be close to family.

Wayneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family would like to extend a special thanks to all the nurses and staff at Rainbow Gardens for the specialized care they gave him over the last 5 years. He made many special friends during his time there, both with staff and other residents. Also a big thanks to Ivo, Patti and the staff at Soldaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Restaurant. Wayne went there often and they truly made him feel like family. Cremation will take place and Wayne will be laid with his mother Florence at Greenwood Cemetary.
