Steven Ordano hopes the replica he made of Vancouver Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo will bring the team the same kind of luck his wooden Olympic hockey player atop Big Rock brought to Team Canada last year. Steven, along with Gary, Nick and Dayton Ordano, constructed the Canuck figure out of driftwood they found along the beach and raised their Canuck-shuk on Wednesday afternoon.

Dogwood Street, the busiest road in the city with the highest crash rate, may see some improvements, according to the city’s draft Master Transportation Plan. However, going back to the old traffic light system won’t be one of them. The city moved to a split threephase timing system in June 2009 to improve mobility and safety along Dogwood, particularly for cars turning left off Dogwood onto cross streets. Ron Neufeld, city manager of operations, also figures travel times have improved since the light system was tweaked in January. The Master Transportation Plan, which is being updated, does not recommend abandoning the new system. Instead, it suggests the addition of dedicated left-turn lanes at Merecroft Road, Evergreen Road, 2nd, 4th, 7th and 16th avenue intersections in order to minimize the impact of left-turning vehicles. To do so, the city would have to acquire extra property at many intersections in order to keep current lane widths to ensure consis-
tency. Left-turn lanes would fall in line with the city’s priority of improving safety on Dogwood. There has been a slight reduction in accidents on Dogwood since the introduction of the new light system. “Prior to the change in signal timing, there were 65 reported collisions between July 2008 and June 2009, compared to 62 reported collisions July 2009 and June 2010,” according to Urban Systems, which authored the transportation plan. Many of those accidents were the result of vehicles turning left either on or off Dogwood. Continued on Page A3

Dogwood: Continued from A1
Of the 76 collisions at the intersection of Evergreen and Dogwood, 49 per cent were due to a left-hand turns, while 44 per cent of the 86 accidents at 2nd Avenue and Dogwood were the result of a left turning driver, and 37 per cent of the 64 accidents in the intersection of 16th Avenue and Dogwood were left-turn collisions. Dogwood has the highest traffic volume of any city road – with the section between Merecroft Road and 9th Avenue accommodating approximately 13,000 vehicles per day – so it’s not surprising it has more accidents than any other street. Dogwood also has eight of the top 10 collision locations in the city with intersections at Merecroft, Evergreen, 2nd, 4th and 16th all seeing more than eight accidents per year. With safety in mind, the Transportation Plan also recommends accessible pedestrian signals, as well as the installation of countdown timers for users at key intersections. It also suggests altering traffic lights so that transit buses can pre-empt traffic signals, like emergency vehicles, to give them the right-ofway. The plan also examines busy Alder Street. “The lack of intersection controls, particularly between Merecroft and 9th Avenue, has been noted as contributing to the attractiveness of Alder Street as compared to Dogwood Street, which has six traffic signals over this stretch.” The consultants predict there could be significant delays in the future at the intersection of Alder and 2nd Avenue if traffic patterns remain the same and it recommends putting in traffic signals at that location as well as at the intersection of Merecroft and Alder, or possibly roundabouts. It also suggests curb extensions at all major intersections and crosswalks along Alder to shorten pedestrian crossing distances, as well as sidewalks along both sides of the entire street. Finally, it recommends signage at the Dogwood and Alder intersection to encourage the use of Dogwood Street as the primary route to downtown instead of Alder. The plan was drafted in consultation with the public with an aim of shaping transportation investment and programs over the next 25 years. It is expected to be complete by early summer.

Directors from the Community Foundation and grant recipients gather for a photo outside the museum on Wednesday evening.
Foundation tops $1 million mark Nine area not-for-profit organizations received a total of $22,750 from the Campbell River Community Foundation on Wednesday. The grants were handed out at the Museum at Campbell River and it was a milestone event. The foundation has now provided more than $100,000 in grants – $117,543.33 to be exact. Even better, the foundation’s holdings recently topped $1 million. “We’re really, really excited,” said outgoing chair Judy Shepley. The interest generated from the foundation’s holdings are distributed annually to non-profit organizations. Here are this year’s recipients: Accessible Wilderness Society - $3,000: The society was established to create, develop, and promote barrier-free wilderness experiences for every person to enjoy.

Now is a great time to brighten your teeth with professional tooth whitening. Give your smile that extra boost prior to the summer sunshine! Whitening is predictable and accomplished in 7 - 10 days. A mold is taken of your teeth and custom trays are made specific to your mouth. While you sleep, a gel placed in the trays gently removes stain from the internal part of the teeth, leaving behind the natural white colour you’re looking for. Sensitivity is infrequent as most whitening products now have desensitizing agents within the gel. Call our office to discuss whitening, you’ll love the results!

Sleepers and everyday KIDLETS baby layette.
David Rennie of Campbell River stopped by the lottery office on Tuesday to pick up his $35.7 million cheque after winning last Friday’s Lotto Max draw. Afterwards, he and the family watched the Vancouver Canucks advance to the Stanley Cup final. Now that’s one heck of a day.
B.C. Liberals offer to cut HST rate The B.C. government is promising to cut the harmonized sales tax rate by two percentage points over the next three years, and issue $175 rebate cheques for each child and lower-income senior this year. The program is aimed at persuading voters to keep the HST in a mailin referendum that begins in June. If the
HST survives, the first one per cent rate cut would take effect July 1, 2012. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said the changes mean the average B.C. family will see an overall tax reduction of $120 a year when the HST rate reaches 10 per cent. The HST currently costs the statistically average household an
additional $350 a year, although there are wide variations among actual households. Falcon acknowledged that some families would continue to pay more until 2014. If a majority of voters opt to keep the HST, current low-income rebates would continue to be paid, and $175 transition cheques would go to parents for
2X4
each child under 18, and to some seniors as well. Single seniors earning up to $40,000 a year would get the entire $175, and a partial payment for incomes up to $43,500. Senior couples would receive $175 for a combined income up to $40,000 and a partial payment up to a $50,000 income.

It’s also the Year of Road TYEE CHEV Safety and the Decade of Action for Road Safety. You weren’t? You’re probably not alone. What would be the best way of informing the public and encouraging participation? My guess is that we’ve all seen something about one or the other of these topics in the past week or two, but we are so inundated with information in our lives that it didn’t reach out and grab you like the Australian campaigns would. They’re up front and gory, just like real life. Real life? Well, the major cause of death for young people in our province is being involved in a collision. About 76,000 people will be injured in a crash on BC’s highways this year and about one a day will die. That’s the bloody reality of it all. Our priorities are a bit odd as the two loudest traffic related news stories of late include ICBC wanting to charge drivers more for getting traffic tickets and not being able to have a drink or two before driving home from a restaurant or social function. If you choose to follow the safety rules you won’t have to fear either one. Please, join in! The author is a retired constable with many years of traffic enforcement experience.

TRAINING DOGS –Contributed PLAY AND EXERCISE by: Dr. Nast, Campbell River Veterinary Hospital Why are play and exercise important? Play with owners and with other dogs provides your dog not only with an outlet for physical exercise, but also helps to fill your dog's social needs. Insufficient exercise can contribute to problem behaviors including destructiveness (chewing and digging), investigative behavior (garbage raiding), hyperactivity, unruliness, excitability, attention-getting behaviors, and even some forms of barking. It is especially important to ensure that a dog's need for exercise and social interaction have been met prior to leaving the dog alone at home and prior to lengthy crating or confinement sessions. How much exercise and play is appropriate? Selecting an appropriate amount and type of play and exercise will depend on the type of dog. Puppies and adult dogs from breeds that have been bred for their stamina or are "working breeds" often have higher exercise requirements. For purebred dogs, consider their traditional purpose and the normal amount of energy that would be expended in that occupation when deciding the type and amount of play to provide. For example, the retrieving breeds do best with lengthy games of fetch or "Frisbee", while the sledding breeds might prefer pulling carts, or running or jogging with an active owner. Terriers may prefer sniffing and catching "prey", while herding breeds might be suited to focused training and agility. The length and type of play and exercise for your dog will depend on its behavioral requirements and health limitations. While some dogs may still be ready for more after a five-mile jog and a game of fetch, others may be tired

and satisfied after a short walk around the block. The idea is to enrich the quality of life for your dog and yourself, not to create a canine athlete. What type of play should be avoided? Try to avoid games that pit your strength against your puppy or dog. Tugof-war games seem to be an enjoyable diversion for many puppies and dogs and they do help to direct chewing and biting toward an acceptable play object, rather than an owner's hands or clothing. On the other hand, some pets get very excited, overly stimulated and become far too aggressive during tug-of-war games. A general rule of thumb for tug-of-war (or any other game for that matter) is to avoid it, unless you are the one to initiate the game, and can stop it as soon as the need arises. Don't allow your puppy to demand or initiate tug games since this could escalate to pulling on your or your clothing or stealing towels or clothing items to try and get you to play. You should always schedule and initiate these games. Teaching the dog to "drop" on command before beginning the tug games can help to ensure that you remain in control of object play sessions such as fetch and tug-of-war. Tug toys may be made of rope, nylon, or fleece. Once you have good control of the game you can schedule regular tug games as a play exercises. However, this is not a good game for children or for family members who do not have the necessary level of control. If teeth come in contact with hands, if aggression escalates beyond play, or the dog is unwilling to give up the tug toy, the game must end immediately. Although games like chase are good exercise, they can often result in wild

exuberant play that gets out of control. Similarly games of fetch can be both a great game and learning experience, but only if your dog learns to bring back and drop the toy so that the game can continue. Again, a good rule of thumb is to only play these games if you are the one to initiate the game, and are capable of stopping the game immediately should it get out of control. If you find that your dog gets too excited, begins to nip or won't settle down while playing certain games, then you should first practice your sit, down and go to your mat training exercises. You can then use these exercises to settle the dog during or at the end of each. How can I keep my dog occupied when I am away? When you are out, or you are busy at home with other activities and responsibilities, it would be ideal for your dog to be relaxed and sleeping, but this will not always be the case. Try to follow a regular daily routine that includes walks, exercise, play time, feeding times, as well as some time that your dog spends on its own (e.g. playing with its own toys or napping in its bed). Object play and feeding toys can be used to help keep your dog occupied and stimulated at these times as well as to provide an outlet for chewing and play. If your dog does not receive sufficient stimulation to meet its physical and mental needs, he may choose to engage in other behaviors that may be undesirable to the owners. Exploring the environment, stealing food items, raiding garbage cans, chewing or digging, and attention seeking behaviors are just a few of the ways that dogs will find to keep themselves occupied. When you are confident that you have provided your dog with sufficient play and interactive exercise, and you must leave your dog alone, provide sufficient toys and distractions to keep your dog occupied and confine your pet to a safe, dog-proofed area. Pets might be kept occupied and stimulated when you are not available to supervise with chew toys, many of which can aid dental health. These products might either be edible such as rawhide, dental treats, or inedible toys made from rubber, rope or nylon. There are also a wide variety of manipulation toys that can be stuffed with food or treats. Some release food during chewing; some dispense food when rolled along the floor; others can be stuffed or coated with dog food, cheese, liver, or peanut butter. Some dogs enjoy watching pet videos and some do best when housed with another dog for play and companionship, although this can result in rowdy activity in your absence. It may also help to keep the dog away from windows where the dog might engage in territorial displays as people and cars pass by the house. Dogs should not be left outside while you are not home. Not only is your dog subjected to the elements (heat, cold, rain, snow) but there is also a risk that your dog could escape and be lost or injured. In addition they may engage in inappropriate barking and territorial behaviors that have the potential to develop into problem behavior without the benefit of owner direction and control.

Donate a buck and help kids to play sports Canadian Tire and Mark’s stores across Canada are holding the third annual Jumpstart Day on Saturday. This one day will help up to 30,000 children get off the sidelines and into the game this summer. For every $1 customer donation, Canadian Tire Corporation will turn it into $3, which will help the one-in-three families in Canada that cannot afford to enrol their child in organized sport. A recent Vision Critical/Angus Reid survey commissioned by Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities found that the number one reason children are not participating in sports is cost. “Research clearly shows that cost is the number-one barrier to giving kids the chance to participate in sports,” says Dan Thompson, president, Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities. “Every

Renowned B.C. artists will gather at Painter’s
From May 27-29, more than 30 of B.C.’s most renowned artists will gather at Painter’s Lodge near Campbell River to mark the 17th annual Painters at Painter’s event. Raymond Chow, Robert Genn, Ted Harrison, Keith Hiscock, Kiff Holland, Alyn Wylie and Chief Tony Hunt are some of the artists-in-residence this weekend during the annual Painters at Painter’s. Throughout the weekend, visitors will interact with artists as they host demonstrations, participate in panel discussions and create works at the resort. “Throughout the years, some of B.C.’s most prominent artists have joined us at Painters at Painter’s, creating a brain trust of art and creativity unparalleled in Canadian art today,” says Christine Fleming, general manager of Painter’s Lodge. “One of the largest artist gatherings to take place nationally each year, it’s an incredible opportunity for art enthusiasts to celebrate and learn from some of B.C.’s best, in one of the province’s most beautiful settings.” More than 90 pieces of original art from the 33 artists will be displayed in a unique collection over the weekend. In addition, permanent exhibits at Painter’s feature prints and giclées of the artists’ original work in many of the guestrooms. Various visitor packages are available, including Saturday and Sunday day passes, walk-in passes and a weekend package. A full itinerary for the weekend can be found at painterslodge.com There are nearly 20 workshops and discussions to choose from, including Saturday’s “Can this Canvas be Saved,” where Kathryn Amisson will demonstrate the art of painting recovery.

Help support Child Run Seven years ago, Campbell River’s Mark Anthony Roberts was diagnosed with nonhodgkins lymphoma cancer when he was just four-and-a-half years old and received treatments for threeand-a-half gruelling years. Now healthy, Roberts
runs to support the people who helped save his life. Since 2006, he has taken part in the Child Run in Vancouver which raises money for the oncology department at B.C. Children’s Hospital to help children suffering from cancer.
This year, a piece of the Child Run will be coming to Campbell River. “He would like to represent our town which has been there for all the children who have been or still are doing treatments. We always receive g reat support from everyone in Campbell River,” says
Dawn Duncan, Robert’s mother. She placing piggy banks with the Child Run logo in various businesses, asking for either a loonie or a twoonie to be to go towards the Children’s Hospital. The run takes place on June 5. Call Duncan at 250286-0390.

Our View
Treating alcoholism as a disease There’s a joke about an alcoholic who read about the evils of drinking. It affected him so much he gave up reading. The fact we can find humour in something that has caused so much pain in our society and has cost untold dollars of public money hints at the tricky nature of our We say: Giving relationship with alcohol. doctors more time On the one hand, we have B.C. with patients is a recently becoming the first province in Canada to task doctors with good start treating alcohol addiction as a chronic medical condition. The move
pays for doctors to take extra time to root out the reasons behind someone’s problem drinking before their condition worsens. The hope is that doing so will lessen the billions of dollars that alcohol currently costs B.C.’s health care system. However, there are also benefits to be had from booze, not the least of which is the billions in revenue generated by liquor sales. And with evidence suggesting our smartest people are drawn to drink, there is little prospect of trying to regulate how much people consume. Alcohol is woven into the fabric of our society, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to ease its harm.
What we need to do, as individuals and through our governments, is make sure the culture of drinking and how it’s shared between generations is brought out from the shadows. British Columbia’s decision to effectively side with those who want alcoholism listed as a disease is a good start. By recognizing that there are no simple solutions for the bigger problem – but that there are remedies on an individual scale – we can begin to address the burden that excessive and inappropriate drinking places on all our lives. – Victoria News/Black Press
Good point: Highway In case you missed it in the paper, our illustrious city councillors must have run out of important things to do. They are proposing that the highway adjacent to the shoreline get a new name. They are even asking for name suggestions and will give out prizes. In a recent edition of the Mirror, an online poll shows that 75 per cent of respondents are NOT in favour of a name change. Can you imagine all the ramifications of an address change? All your personal cheques, notifying everybody you know, subscriptions, health care facilities, entities that send out regular billing, like Hydro, Telus, Shaw…the list goes on. And, of course, there will be some that you forget, and next thing you know, you will be charged for late payments, or you will miss receiving something that could be very important to you personally. And that is just us poor folks living here. Imagine the costs to all the businesses along the highway? Elections Canada already have problems with our address. For some unknown reason, most of the people living on the highway are on the voters list twice, once on Highway 19A, and once on South Island Hwy. Does this mean we might be on there three times if the road name change is approved? How many received two copies of the census? These are but a few of the reasons I think we should oppose a name change. Larry Hall
Rest in peace gents, it was a pleasure knowing you
Paul Rudan No, Really
I love this job not just because of what I do, but because of the people I meet. Most teach me new things, make me understand the world and our community a little better, and offer wisdom which I hope to carry with me until my time is up. Two men I knew through my work died last Friday and I will miss them both. One of my first memories of Russell Kwakseestahla was at the grand opening of the new Museum of Campbell River, back in the 1994. It was wonderful occasion and the place was packed with dignitaries and the local who’s who. Everyone was seated, when Russell walked in, dressed in all the regalia bestowed on him as a hereditary First Nations Chief.
I was impressed, but his arrival was met by an audible groan from several others. Unbeknownst to me at the time was that Russell had a history of “disrupting” various events, followed by historical-themed filibusters that would put a long-winded politician to shame. While some simply dismissed Russell as “trouble,” I tried to listen closely while he spoke. While he did have a tendency to speak in riddles, he usually had a good point – a different point of view – which was valid. I admired Russell for speaking his mind, for standing up for what he thought was right, and trying to make life better for aboriginal people. He also had a terrific sense of humour. A couple of years ago I saw him at the hospital where he was
recuperating following surgery. He smiled as he told me of all the chiefs who had visited the previous night to pay their last respects. “Fooled them!” he laughed. Jim Dubois was a very different man than Russell Kwakseestahla. At first I only knew him through the wonderful wildlife photographs he provided to Christine Scott to illustrate her Island Wild column. He later told me of how he would spend hours and hours by Oyster Bay – often in freezing, wet weather – trying to capture a bird at the perfect time and in the perfect light. Sometimes those vigils would come up with nothing, in spite of him shooting hundreds of images. But his diligence was often rewarded with stunning images.
I got to know Jim a little better over the years and how he survived a lung transplant operation. During a recent interview – on him making homes for Mason bees – he hinted that his time here was short. He knew it, but the rest of us hoped it wasn’t so. I was even counting on him visiting our new home. Despite the fact Jim didn’t have much money, he was extremely generous. When he learned I was helping to organize a fundraiser for a young man battling cancer, he donated a framed print of a blue heron. I liked it so much I bid high and “won” it. My wife and I hung the gorgeous print and awaited his visit. But last Friday Jim’s lungs finally gave out. He’s not coming now, but a little bit of his spirit will always be with me.

British expat doesn’t want Canada’s money This is a message to all British expats who live in this area. If you have worked in the UK you will have paid National Insurance contributions and this entitles you to a state pension. If on retirement you are resident in Canada you will find you will be discriminated against by having your pension frozen at the amount of your first payment. This discrimination affects the UK pensions of expats in all the Commonwealth countries. Other countries including the EU
get the index linked increases every year. This lack of parity has meant that many expats are experiencing financial difficulties as a direct result of their UK pensions being frozen. This means that the Canadian taxpayer is having to fund the low income supplement payments that keep this disenfranchised group from falling into poverty, effectively baling out the UK government by millions of dollars each year. We do not want to be in a position where
Huge cost to change map name and more Looking at the big picture, changing the name of the Island Highway would be a huge undertaking. Provincial maps would have to be changed. It would be a huge cost to the businesses and to each and every person living on the Island Highway who have to change their addresses as well. I believe we should keep the flow consistent with the rest of the island. We already have North Island Highway and South Island Highway.
we are obliged to take handouts, we just want what we are entitled to, what we paid for, and that is our full pension that is index linked.

Too much change I write this letter because it is unfair for people living on Highway 19A to have to change the address on all our stuff: Passports, driver’s licence, credit cards and pension medical cards, plus all other mail. How many who live along this highway will be affected? Give us a break and use our money on something that benefits all. I hope more highway folks will comment on this farce before it goes too far.

ICBC gives a break to golf carts Golf course owners will no longer be required to register, license or insure their golf carts and utility vehicles through ICBC to operate in parking lots or cross public roads. Merely driving a cart across a road from one side of the golf course to the other required insurance and a licence plate. An amendment to the Motor Vehicle Act means that golf carts owned
by golf courses will be exempt from those requirements for use in golf course parking lots, driveways and crossing roads. Exemptions will also be made to a range of industrial utility vehicles for use in parking lots and driveways, and for certain incidental highway use. Scissor lifts and powered wheel barrows will be defined as “mobile equipment” and will also be exempted.
3X5 Riders from Fisheries and Oceans Canada head out of Campbell River Common mall during a past Big Bike event. Sign up for this year’s ride which takes place on June 9.
Riders wanted for the Big Bike It takes a big heart to ride a big bike, and this month dozens of residents from Campbell River showed they have just that as they raise funds for leading heart and stroke research, by participating in the Heart and Stroke Big Bike Campaign. Last year, more than 40,000 riders, in more than 200 communities, helped to raise more than $7 million for research. This year’s goal is to raise $1.6 million in B.C. The Big Bike seats are filling up quickly on the bicycle built for 30. “Last year, Campbell
River residents raised $18,000. This year we are hoping to increase that goal to $20,000,” says Stephanie Crabtree, special events co-ordinator for the foundation. Money raised will help support community prog rams such as the Sip Smart Program, Vancouver Island’s Stroke Rapid Assessment Research, and help certify local teachers as HeartSmart Instructors. Campbell River’s Big Bike Events will take place on June 9. Join in by registering a team or support the fundraising goals

Carpentry students feel at home Joint program gives Grade 11-12 students a head start KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Jesse Young is still in high school but he’s getting a college-level education. Young, a Grade 12 student at Carihi, is one of 21 students from Timberline and Carihi secondary schools studying residential carpentry through a joint program offered by School District 72 and North Island College. “I could build my own house,” says Young, because of the skills he has gained. Amazingly, he had no prior experience going into the course but now he could not only build a house but also plan and design it.
“I’ve learned everything from how to hammer a nail, surveying, stair calculations, just everything,” he says. “The course really covers the whole building process, including laying a foundation.” The dual credit, AceIt Carpentry course, has existed for four years and allows students in Grades 11 and 12 to take Level One Technical Training for one semester each year at Carihi, free of cost. That’s followed up with a 10-week program at North Island College the summer after Grade 12. By the time the students have graduated from high school, they have already completed one-quarter of

Last year, the program boasted the top two highest marks of all Level 1 Carpentry ACE-IT students on Vancouver Island and two students earned scholarships. Silas Levesque won a $500 Vancouver Island Construction Association Superstar Apprentice scholarship, which goes to an apprentice who has overcome obstacles and adversity.

achieving the highest overall marks in Level 1 Apprenticeship Technical Training. The program is supported by Seymour Pacific Developments, a local construction company operated by Kris Mailman, which provides free lumber and other construction materials as well as safety training and relevant, practical work experience. The supplies are used to construct a series of small houses, which can be easily taken down and the materials re-used. Right now, the class is working on three small ranchers from plans they drafted themselves. Lontayao says by the end of the course the students will be ready and trained for any builder who wants qualified and well-trained apprentices.
Consumers have to pay the HST on the end product. But since businesses no longer pay embedded taxes during the manufacturing process, their savings can be passed onto the consumer.

Inclusion wins WOW honour The Campbell River band Inclusion has won at Community Living BC WOW 2011 Recognition Award. Community Living is a provincial agency which offers support and services to adults with developmental disabilities and their families. WOW stands for “Widening our World” and the award honours contributions made towards ensuring community inclusion for individuals with developmental disabilities. Inclusion was presented their award in Parksville on May 5, where they were also invited to play. A video of the band will be featured soon on www. wowclbc.ca Inclusion is a group of musicians, who have been playing together for six years. What makes this group unique is that three of its musicians have developmental disabilities. The band members
include Justin Fong (Q-chord), Andrew Wilkes (keyboard), Dwayne Bryant (percussion), John Hollywood (guitar), Kim Thyne (vocals) and Gail McIntosh (vocals). Ed Leo helps with the band’s equipment. The band members met through their affiliation with the Campbell River and District Association for Community Living. They began to meet, after hours, and developed a re per toire that has made them a familiar voice in the Campbell River music scene. The group released their first CD in 2008 and is planning another CD in the near future. Inclusion will be playing at the MCC World Relief Fair in Black Creek on on Saturday at 11 a.m., and will be hosting an evening of entertainment at the Campbell River Community Centre on June 4, from 7-9 p.m.

Your Loving Family Forever in Our Hearts
The Kwakseestahla/Quocksister family lost a cherished father, son, brother and uncle on May 20, 2011 in Vancouver, B.C. when Chief Russell Kwakseestahla succumbed to many health challenges after a long and valiant struggle. “Russell” was born on August 14, 1951 in Campbell River, B.C., to Hereditary Chief/Captain George and Elizabeth (Glendale) Quocksister, of the Laichkwiltach Nation, Ahwahoo Tribe. He lived in Campbell River most of his life. He was a logger and commercial fisherman, but was widely known because of his passion for political activism regarding First Nations’ issues and his extensive cultural knowledge. The Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs ‘tweeted’ that Russell’s, “...strong passion for title & rights is legendary.” We take comfort in knowing Russell joins his mother Elizabeth; grandparents Chief John and Susan (Assu) Quocksister, George Glendale and Katherine (Henderson) Ferry/Adams; niece Angela Wilson; sister-in-law Audrey Quocksister and brothers-in-law John Bear, Richard White, Donald White, Charles (Derek) Wilson and Bruce Serhan. Thanking the Creator for having had Russell in their lives is his son Capt. Negeh Kwakseestahla (his mother Deborah), father Captain George (Candy-Lea) Quocksister, brothers George Quocksister Jr., Rock Quocksister and Ritchie Quocksister, sisters Carol Bear, Maria White, Ida (James) Johnny, Lizabeth Wilson, Louella Serhan and Alana (Greg) Anderson. His numerous nephews and nieces, hundreds of cousins, extended family and friends will forever preserve their memories of this charismatic elder statesman. The family sincerely thanks those who have consoled us through your presence, phone calls, cards and flowers. There will be no service at Russell’s request.
