Villa dominated the match, winning 4-0 and advanced to the BC Soccer Provincial B Cup semi-finals on Sunday, May 6, in Vancouver.

From the opening kick to the final whistle, from back line to forward attack, once Villa players settled in, they thrilled hometown fans at Timberlane Park against a frustrated Fraser Valley Red Devils team.

“The first five to 10 minutes, I thought they came on really strong and then we just took the game from there and didn’t let go,” said Villa head coach Chris McDonough.

If it wasn’t rookie defender Chris Fisher dropping 40-yard passes to midfield on a dime, it was newly signed former German Bundesliga player Greg Smith raising the level of his teammates play and drawing every eye of the 200-plus fans, or the finesse of Jake Kenmuir and flash of speedy young striker James Timothy streaking into position to score two of Villa’s goals. Kurtis Dennison and Kye Taylor also scored for Villa.

Although Matt Liknes was not challenged often, Villa’s goalkeeper picked up another clean sheet, his sixth of the 2017/2018 season.

ger with Jarek Long coming back for the semi-final, according to McDonough.

Fisher, one of Villa’s exciting youth players added to the lineup late in the season, has stepped up and done a fantastic job in Long’s absence, added the coach.

“Chris is an excellent player and his distribution out of the back was fantastic,” said McDonough. “He has vision, great distribution and he’s a quality defender.”

Also returning to the lineup is another of Villa’s teenagers, the nimble and agile striker Cullen Buholzer, who has been out for two weeks with an ankle injury.

Up front, dropping Smith into the attack since Villa signed him two weeks ago often left the hometown crowd awestruck by his physical play, soccer sense and ability to control the

field at will whenever he had the ball, or just by his mere presence.

“He’s so good,” said Kenmuir. “Not only is he a very good player, he’s a very good guy and that helps, too.

He never said, ‘I should be starting; I should be doing this.’ He said he’ll do whatever we need and wherever needed.”

Smith single-handedly elevated the team before he was sidelined with a minor injury in the second half.

Without him, Villa adjusted and did not relent.

“Having our top four attacking players, with Kye Taylor, Greg Smith, Jake Kenmuir and James Timothy, is pretty formidable right now,” said McDonough. “Those guys were doing some pretty amazing things yesterday and our passing and movement was impressive.”

Timothy, one of Villa’s

teenage phenoms, had an outstanding game, showing off extraordinary pace.

His two goals could have been 10 had he connected on all of his chances, said McDonough.

“He’s a lethal finisher,” he added. “He always seems to find the right areas. For a guy who’s 16 years old, we’re getting a lot out of him right now.”

Kenmuir, the reigning Vancouver Island Soccer League Division 3A MVP, said Fisher and Timothy were the two best players on the field for Villa.

“Watching those two just mature over the year has been nice,” said Kenmuir.

“I remember being that age and it’s hard to make the jump from playing youth to playing with men. It’s a lot different and those two have done it flawlessly.”

Villa had not played a game in five weeks and

were rusty in the roundof-16 match against Fraser Valley Blue Devils on April 22. Sunday’s game showed the best representation of Villa this season, according to Kenmuir.

The semi-final takes place on the road in Vancouver against the toughest team Villa has faced this year: Vancouver Strikers, one of the top teams in Vancouver Metro Soccer League, also one of the toughest soccer leagues in the province.

“It’s just another team, right?” said Kenmuir. “We play who’s put in front of us and we’ll show up and play.”

McDonough said Villa is peaking at just the right time and that his team is looking forward to the weekend challenge, as are the many Villa fans who live in Vancouver.

Game time is 3:30 pm on Sunday, May 6, at Vancouver Technical Secondary School.

Sunset Homes unveils design for new seniors housing

A really good building design marks your town in terms of a presence that money is coming into the community.

California, were constructed in the 1950s with butterfly roofs.

“I’ve not constructed a butterfly roof before in one of my existing projects; I have proposed them in previous designs but they didn’t get realized,” said Whitten, an accomplished architect of signature projects in Vancouver who is

much about the design of the project but land use.

“It really meets the idea that council wants to get higher density in the downtown area,” said Knight.

“The design orients the building toward the front of the property rather than the back where you have parking. We want to get away from that and have

PRIVACY

NEW LISTING

A few minor items remain and Powell River Sunset Homes Society will soon have the go ahead to build a new 34-unit affordable rental housing facility for seniors age 55-plus on Joyce Avenue south of Duncan Street.

“It could possibly be that council approves on May 3 and we might be in a position to issue the development permit on the fourth,” said City of Powell River director of planning Thomas Knight.

At the April 17 committee of the whole meeting, council was shown the proposed design done

by Roost Studio architect Jenny Whitten.

now living in Powell River.

“It’s something I thought made sense for that site, especially when you see it from the north and the south coming along Joyce Avenue. It has a really nice definition, and also it opens up the building toward the ocean. That was the thought behind the profile.”

From a planning perspective, Knight said it is not so

more pedestrian presence or streetscape.”

Knight added that Sunset Homes might be planning two other phases for the property. He said the proposed facility currently before council is what the city’s planning department wants to see going forward with other projects on Joyce Avenue because the development will inform other buildings oriented toward the front and not the rear of properties.

“A really good building design marks your town in terms of a presence that money is coming into the community,” said Knight.

“This is a non-profit society and it’s showing a lot of leadership in terms of having really quality design.”

Sunset Homes has been a leader in providing affordable housing for seniors since the mid-1950s, beginning with the donation of land and monies from Olive and Alphonse Devaud.

The Devauds built the first seniors housing, a 12-unit boarding house now known as Centennial Homes on

Westview Avenue. It was followed by the Olive Devaud Residence.

The Olive Devaud was sold in 2016 and proceeds helped fund the new residence.

Sunset Homes currently operates three afford housing facilities for seniors: Centennial Homes, McGregor Place and Leishman Place, which is named after city councillor CaroleAnn Leishman’s mother, Myrna.

Providing affordable rental units for seniors is definitely a need in Powell River, according to CaroleAnn, and Sunset Homes has been doing that for decades.

“They pretty much have a waiting list of 30 to 40 people all of the time,” said CaroleAnn, a past director of the society that has been part of her life for 30 years.

“They’ve had a rotating waiting list for years and years of people hoping to get into one of the existing units and now people are hoping to get into the new building.

There’s definitely a lot of excitement on the possibilities of this new build.”

WASTE NOT: Powell River’s Westview Water Reclamation Facility will be decommissioned and its outfall into Malaspina Strait will be shut down when the new Townsite wastewater treatment plant opens. DAVID BRINDLE PHOTO

The new plant, the largest infrastructure project in the city’s history at a cost of approximately $30 million, will convey and consolidate flows from those three plants to the site of the new Townsite facility.

The outfall pipe will run through the foreshore and intertidal zones before terminating in marine waters at a depth of approximately 50 metres below average water levels and terminate approximately 700 metres from shore, which is 100 metres beyond the current discharge.

“The discharge into the marine environment at that location is really quite ideal in terms of the way the regulations want to see discharge reintroduced into the environment in a safe way,” said AE project consultant

Tom Robinson. “It's a wellflushed environment. It's an open environment and we have ideal conditions for doing that.”

Quality guides are required for any water treatment and environment modelling shows that with the new plant, water quality standards have been met and exceeded in some cases, according to AE senior environmental scientist Rob Hoogendoorn.

“What we're saying in the report is there's no impact of this wastewater facility that has a significant change to the historic conditions,” said Hoogendoorn. “When it comes to recreational activities the improvement would be related to improvements in overall water quality that we've addressed; with an improvement in water quality

comes an improvement in recreational use.”

Robinson added that there are multiple layers to protecting the public, including effluent disinfectant and diffusing, and the modelling confirms the released flow mixes, stays at depth and does not contact the public.

“The effluent will not rise to the surface,” said Robinson. “That's what the modelling effort confirms.”

Meanwhile, two new options for the exterior design of the new facility will be released on May 1 and the city will be asking for public input over a two-week period. An online survey will be available, followed by a public open house on May 10. Details will be sent to residents by mail and posted on the city’s website and social media platforms.

Bridge replacement closes road v

DAVID BRINDLE reporter@prpeak.com

Access to Haywire Bay has been closed to replace an old, deteriorating wooden bridge structure due to an urgent risk that deleterious substances will be deposited into a fish-bearing stream.

A metal deck bridge, such as those used by forestry companies, was placed over the wooden structure about 10 years ago but it was not installed properly, according to Powell River Regional District asset management and strategic initiatives manager Mike Wall.

The goal was to start physical work on removing the wood parts by the end of April.

“On April 30, we're hoping to have

materials on their way to the site,” said Wall. “Then the physical work would begin.”

The upgrade work will close the bridge on the road to Haywire Bay Regional Park for approximately two weeks, weather permitting, according to Wall. He said there is a limited window to complete the removal of the failing infrastructure and properly install the metal-span bridge to mitigate any risk to fish.

“On top of the old infrastructure, which was wood, there was a cover of gravel for that deck and geo-fabric to hold that gravel,” said Wall. “As that wooden structure fails there's a significant risk of gravel getting dumped into the creek, which could have negative effects on fish.”

v

The project cost is approximately $80,000.

Wall said the plan calls for the work to be completed before the opening of the regional park on the May long weekend.

While closed to vehicular traffic, measures will be taken so hikers on the Sunshine Coast Trail will be able to cross the stream via an alternate path.

“It will be well marked at the site and the site workers will also be able to provide directions,” said Wall.

Hikers are advised to use caution around the project area.

Updates on the progress of the work and details on when the park will reopen will be posted on the regional district website.

A recently released environmental impact study on the outfall from Powell River’s new wastewater treatment plant into Malaspina Strait confirms the Townsite location is the best place for the new facility, according to an 80-page report submitted in April

by City of Powell River project consultants Associated Engineering.

Currently, the city discharges wastewater effluent into the strait from three separate outfalls: Wildwood, Townsite and Westview. The reason for the project, which has taken about 20 years for successive councils to arrive at decision on, is because the three plants are not all providing adequate treatment before discharging into Malaspina Strait.

The Westview plant cannot treat all of the area’s flows, especially during wet weather, according to city director of infrastructure Tor Birtig.

Birtig said there is no means to collect the biosolids from the Townsite area, so it ends up going out into the strait. With the Wildwood lagoon, although it is treated, standards for the lagoon are much lower than what is required for federal and provincial regulations, he added.

By candlelight World War I ended in November of 1918, but Canadian soldiers are still losing their lives 100 years later while helping to restore order in several countries throughout the world.

This Saturday, Royal Canadian Legion Branch 164 continues a tradition it started in 2009 in recognition of veterans laid to rest at Powell River Regional Cemetery in Cranberry and Holy Cross Cemetery in Kelly Creek.

Over the past nine years, some of the previous candlelight tributes have commemorated important dates in Canadian military history, such as the Battle of Vimy Ridge in France during World War I, the invasion of Nazi-held France (D-Day) on June 6, 1944, Victory in Europe Day in May of 1945, and the signing of the armistice that ended the Korean War 65 years ago.

This year, the annual ceremony honours Canadian, American and armed forces personnel from other countries who served in any war or peacekeeping mission, and RCMP members. In total, 341 graves will be marked at the two cemeteries, a number that has increased each year Crosses, candles and since the inaugural Canadian flags placed candlelight tribute as local Legion beside the graves for the members identify ceremony are a sight to more veterans with behold, especially as the the help of family members and fellight fades in the evening… low veterans of the deceased.

Crosses, candles and Canadian flags placed beside the graves for the ceremony are a sight to behold, especially as the light fades in the evening, and well worth the drive to Cranberry or Kelly Creek to bear witness, pay respects and remember.

Veterans and army, air and sea cadets march into the cemetery and help light those candles, which instills the tradition into the young members of each corps, who may be called upon one day to represent citizens of their country, including those whose footsteps they would follow.

Canada will deploy support troops to Mali this summer, continuing its commitment to United Nations peacekeeping missions, and even though some people are skeptical, 65 years after the Korean War ended, peace on that peninsula actually seems like a possibility. With the increasing rhetoric coming out of North Korea and the United States a few months ago, who would have predicted that?

Honouring peacekeepers, past and present, on a more regular basis keeps the memory of their sacrifices top of mind. Remembering involves more than a moment of silence on November 11.

COMMENTS » Time to diversify If United States hedge fund owners of Catalyst are not willing to invest in fighting this, then why dump it all on local Canadians to keep subsidizing their business profits [“Province calls meeting to discuss Catalyst,” April 25]?

Every year fewer and fewer locals are employed at the mill and it looks like another round of layoffs are coming. Maybe it’s time to start moving these subsidies into getting new industries established in Powell River? If not now, then when?

There used to be thousands of locals employed at the mill and now they’re down to a few hundred; automation and robotics will keep decreasing local employment numbers, it’s inevitable.

Could we create a few hundred local jobs to replace shrinking corporate mill jobs?

Have a look into what happened with the mill in Nanaimo, where locals bought out their big business owners and setup a local, worker-owned and profitable mill structure. Yes, it’s possible and it’s better to start this discussion sooner rather than later.

BC government is small potatoes. This is federal government stuff and they already have their hands full with NAFTA negotiations. It’s all part of a larger bargaining strategy that will play out over the next year or so. Best thing to do would be to get the US hedge fund owners of Catalyst to lobby the US government themselves.

Locals will not be able to do anything; it is time to start diversifying our local industries and creating other job sectors within our community. It is not worth spending more taxpayer money on this situation until NAFTA

talks wrap up to see how it plays out, but a nice start would be to stop exporting any raw logs from Powell River and getting into value-added forest products produced direct in our community (set up local woodworking/mill/ artistry co-op).

Fibre factor The province has to take a lot of the blame for the fibre shortage [“Province calls meeting to discuss Catalyst,” April 25].

When MacMillan Bloedel was sold, they sold the mill only, and kept the tree farms, so that Weyerhaeuser could end up owning the trees and tree farm licences, thereby forcing the new mill owners to purchase fibre from outside sources.

Three public meetings hosted by City of Powell River for exchanging information and receiving input about the legalization of cannabis will take place in May. The first public meeting is Wednesday, May 9, at Evergreen Theatre. Additional meetings take place on Wednesday, May 16, at Max Cameron Theatre and at Italian Community Club Hall on Tuesday, May 22. All meetings will begin at 7 pm.

“Council has decided it wants to go to the public because this is such a change,” said city chief administrative officer Mac Fraser. “The legalization of cannabis is not a subtle change or a small change in our society, and the intent is to go out and ask before legislating.”

The meetings will provide residents with information on what the city’s municipal powers will be. They include veto power on all retail licence applications, and zoning where retail sales and stores will be allowed. Other local government responsibilities will include hours of operation, security and where people can smoke.

Fraser said the city hopes to have its bylaws in place by late summer, which is when the federal Cannabis Act is expected to become law.

“Council is hoping that through the consultation we're going to do and working hard on the available time, that we'll actually have some rules and

regulations in place,” said Fraser. “It's not something that's a front-burner issue for everybody in the community but for those who it's important to, it's very important, so council said, ‘let's ask before we draft.’”

Powell River RCMP has been directly involved, according to Fraser and RCMP staff sergeant Rod Wiebe.

Certain city bylaws are worded in such a way that it gives the RCMP authority to enforce them, said Wiebe.

“The noise bylaw is an example of this,” said Wiebe. “It is important for the police to have the capability to enforce the bylaw and it will add to an officer's ability to use discretion. Instead of being restricted to enforcing the provincial and federal laws, which are often considered more serious, we can consider proceeding under a municipal bylaw.”

Wiebe added that it will make for a more efficient police service and will be more in line with what the community will expect from the RCMP once cannabis is legalized.

On April 26, BC minister of pub-

lic safety and solicitor general Mike Farnworth announced legislation for highly regulated pot sales under the province’s Cannabis Distribution Act. The act will regulate distribution and retail of non-medical cannabis the way liquor distribution and sales are managed, through the recently announced brand name BC Cannabis Stores. The province has the final say on minimum age, public consumption, personal cultivation, possession limits and drugaffected driving.

“The date set by the federal government for cannabis legalization will just be the beginning,” said Farnworth, when he introduced the provincial legislation. “BC will monitor implementation and make any necessary adjustments to provincial regulations to ensure our provincial goals are being met.”

The province will also be launching a public awareness and education campaign related to health impacts of cannabis use and the risks of driving under the influence of drugs.

Major university hearing study seeks participants.

Connect Hearing, with hearing researcher Professor Kathy Pichora-Fuller at the University of Toronto, seeks participants who are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids for a hearing study investigating factors that can influence better hearing.

All participants will have a hearing test provided at no charge. Qualifying participants may also receive a demonstration of the latest hearing technology. The data collected from this study will be used to further our understanding of hearing loss and improve lifechanging hearing healthcare across Canada.

Why participate in the hearing study?

Hearing problems typically result from damage to the ear and researchers have spent decades trying to understand the biology behind hearing loss.

More importantly, researchers now realize the

need to better understand how hearing loss affects your everyday life*. In this new hearing study, Professor Pichora-Fuller and her team are trying to find out how people learn to live with hearing loss and how new solutions could help these people take action sooner and live life more fully.

If you are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids, you can register to be a part of this major new hearing study† by calling: 1.888.242.4892 or visiting connecthearing.ca/hearing-study. * Pichora-Fuller, M.

National Institutes of Health. (2010).

It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss1, but most do not seek treatment right away. In fact, the average person with hearing loss will wait ten years before seeking help2.

This is because at the beginning stages of hearing loss people often find they can “get by” without help, however as the problem worsens this becomes increasingly harder to do. For some people this loss of clarity is only a problem at noisy restaurants or in the car, but for others it makes listening a struggle throughout the entire day. By studying people who have difficulty hearing in noise or with television, we hope to identify key factors impacting these difficulties and further understand their influence on the treatment process.

Hang gliding champion returns home Ross and Cathie Hunter set down roots in community SARA DONNELLY community@prpeak.com

Ross Hunter always wanted to fly.

“When I was little I’d be jumping off the back of the couch and my dad would catch me,” he said.

After graduating from Max Cameron Secondary School in Powell River and completing school at BCIT as an instrument technician, Hunter moved to Calgary, where he was finally able to pursue his dream of being airborne.

“I saw an ad in the community newspaper,” he said.

“There were courses for pottery, small engine repair, square dancing and hang gliding. I started hang gliding about 30 years ago and

I’ve gotten okay-ish at it.”

“Okay-ish” is an understatement. Hunter is the current national hang gliding champion, holding the Canadian open-distance record with a 400-kilometre flight.

During his winning flight he travelled across Saskatchewan, stopping about 60 kilometres short of the North Dakota border at speeds averaging 80 to 90 kilometres per hour. In such competitions, a course is determined that participants will attempt to fly that day.

Typically only about one third of the pilots complete the course, said Hunter, and of those who do complete it, points are determined based on speed.

“When we fly, getting up to 12,000 feet is quite common and 100-mile flights are not uncommon,” he said.

Nowadays, GPS and other technology is readily available to track a hang glider’s speed, distance and whereabouts. When Ross started

in the sport in the mid1980s, it was very different scenario.

“We used to land by a farmer’s house and hope somebody was home to use their phone,” he said. “We’d then phone a friend to come to the farm and pick us up. It was quite an ordeal.”

While Hunter was competing in his 400-kilometre flight, his wife and friends followed in a vehicle. As his waypoints were published online about every 10 minutes, many others were able to follow along on the internet.

“Word got out pretty quick,” he said.

Despite being the reigning champion, Hunter said he intends to sit the contest out this time.

“This year’s competition is out in Quebec and I’m not going to drive that far,” he added.

Last year, Hunter and his wife Cathie moved to Powell River. Cathie grew up in

Belize and then Calgary, but was keen to make the move to Powell River with her husband.

The couple purchased Ross’ parents’ home and converted it. His parents Ron and Dorothy live upstairs and he and Cathie are downstairs.

“It’s worked out really well,” said Ross of the living situation. “We get along well and can spend some quality time together.”

Since relocating to Powell River, the couple has focused much of their attention on home renovations, however, Ross returns to Alberta occasionally for work and flying. He said he has yet to find a good hang gliding site in the Powell River area.

“There are sites in the Fraser Valley and Pemberton that I know of but I always keep my eyes open when I go up in the backcountry,” said Hunter. “We have more forestry than farming so it can be a little tricky finding a landing field.”

BC Book Prizes tour makes first visit Nominated author and illustrator to present at library and local schools SARA DONNELLY community@prpeak.com

The BC Book Prizes tour will be making a stop in Powell River on Wednesday, May 2, marking the first time it has visited the Upper Sunshine Coast. Including the community is long overdue, according to executive director Bryan Pike.

“We’ve never made it up to Powell River, and it’s time,” he said.

Nominees presenting in Powell River are Roxanna Bikadoroff, illustrator for the shortlisted children’s book The Alphabet Thief, and K. Jane Watt, award-winning author of Surrey: A City of Stories.

The Alphabet Thief was written by CBC radio host Bill Richardson.

“It’s about this thieving rogue who steals letters from words,” said Bikadoroff, who added that the process of visual storytelling for children’s books is a great deal of fun.

“All my illustrations, I try to really bring the writing to life,” she said.

Bikadoroff and Richardson are currently collaborating on a second children’s book to be released later this year. Langley-based historian Watt’s coffee table-styled book was shortlisted for the Roderick Haig-Brown Regional Prize, which is awarded to an author who illustrates the enjoyment and understanding of BC through their writing contribution.

Along with the public gathering at Powell River Public Library, the authors will be making stops at local schools during the tour. The opportunity for children and youth to meet and interact with writers and illustrators is valuable, said Pike.

“It’s great for kids to see that books come from people and actually meet those people,” he said. “And to realize that everybody’s story is important.

The BC Book Prizes were established in 1985 to celebrate achievements of BC writers and publishers. This is the tour’s 15th year. School visits are funded by the group.

“We do all the fundraising for it so the schools don’t have to pay for us to come out,” said Pike. “This way they don’t have to choose between new hockey jerseys and an author.”

The public presentations will be held in the First Credit Union Community Room at the library at 7 pm.

Car owner has passion for tinkering and the colour orange

PEAK PERFORMANCE: Rick Agius’ 1948 Ford

Rick Agius’ 1948 Ford two-door sedan is unmistakable among the many vintage cars that stand out on the roads of Powell River. It’s orange.

Introduced in 1941, the last year of production for this Ford model was 1948. The car’s claim to fame is that the character Danny Zuko, portrayed by John Travolta, drove a 1948 custom convertible in the 1978 movie Grease.

A 1948 Ford Super Deluxe Convertible Club Coupe also appeared in 1984’s The Karate Kid, starring Ralph Macchio. The film’s main character, Daniel Larusso, was given the car by his mentor, Mr. Miyagi, as a birthday present. After filming was complete, producers of the movie gave the vehicle to Macchio, who still owns it.

a cool car and would make a great cruiser.

How did the car come into your hands?

I bought it about 25 years ago. It was parked at a garage on the corner of Alberni and Joyce. I happened to be in town, saw it and thought it would be a great family car so we picked it up and hauled it to Nanaimo, where we were living at the time, and started the process of rebuilding it. A friend used to drive this car in high school and I remembered the car when I saw it. I thought it was

What’s behind your passion for cars?

I like tinkering with cars and I recently bought another one. It's a 1958 Chevy Yeoman Station Wagon. You don't see them very often.

They only produced them for one year. I picked it up last summer in Victoria and drove it last year. I took it apart this winter and redid all of the windows, and put springs and shocks in the back. That's enough for this year. Then next year I'll tinker around and do some more stuff.

Was it orange back then?

No. It was blue. I love orange.

What is the model?

It's a 1948 Ford two-door sedan. It has a 305 Chevy and a Chevy ten-bolt differential. It has a front clip on it, front disc brakes, and power steering, so it handles real nice on the highway.

Is this model significant in the car world?

It was more of an inexpensive family sedan at the time. Usually you get them in a four-door sedan. I was lucky this was a two-door, which is what I wanted.

Energy wins Island championship DAVID BRINDLE reporter@prpeak.com

Powell River Youth Soccer Association U14 boys Energy was the only hometown team to win at the 54th Annual Island Invitational Cup, held on April 28 and 29.

Energy beat Victoria’s Bays United 2-1 to win their division cup in the single game, winnertake-all tournament between Lower Island Soccer Association and Upper Island Soccer Association champions.

A total of 24 teams competed in the event, also known as the Tournament of Champions. Energy were the only Upper Island Soccer Association team to win a gold medal.

Three other Powell River teams competed. U16 boys Panthers lost to Juan de Fuca 4-0, U14 girls Strikers lost to Cowichan and U15 girls Eagles also lost to Cowichan.

The soccer season continues for the Energy.

The team plays in BC Soccer Provincial B Cup Championships in Burnaby from July 5 to 8.

Sports hall of fame recognizes teammates University of Victoria honours former cross-country team members Graham Cocksedge and Lucien Irvington HIGH HONOUR: Powell River’s Graham Cocksedge, seen here competing in the 2016 Marathon Shuffle, was recently inducted into University of Victoria’s sports hall of fame along with members of the school’s famous men’s cross-country team, including fellow Powell Riverite Lucien Ervington.

DAVID BRINDLE reporter@prpeak.com

Powell River’s Graham Cocksedge and Lucien Ervington now have their names permanently fixed

in University of Victoria’s Sports Hall of Fame.

Along with their teammates, Cocksedge and Ervington were recently inducted into the university’s hall as members of one of the greatest dynasties in the history of Canadian university athletics.

The Vikes men's crosscountry team of 1994 to 1997 received the honour at an annual Celebration of Champions on April 4.

"Man, it was awesome seeing those guys,” said Cocksedge. "You give a quick hug and you're right back where you left off; per-

sonalities haven't changed and mannerisms haven't changed. It was a night of pure enjoyment. It was so much fun and so special to relive those days."

Vikes’ cross-countr y runners won Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union (CIAU) national championships four straight years. At the time, it was the most by a team in Canadian university athletics history.

Cocksedge was the only one of the 14 runners who was on all four teams.

During that time, he was named a CIAU All-Canadian All-Star each year.

"It was a really special night,” said Cocksedge.

"Three of those guys I hadn't seen for 21 years and you don't see the others often, maybe once or twice through the years."

Cocksedge teaches at Brooks Secondary School, coaches the school’s crosscountry and track teams, and still runs.

Ervington, who was on the team in 1996 and 1997, is a teacher at Kelly Creek Community School.

Powell River Kings have hired Tyler Kuntz as the BC Hockey League team’s new head coach and general manager.

Kuntz has been here and there in

the hockey world, with more than a decade of experience, most recently with a one-season stint as a coach in professional hockey overseas. He also gained experience running sessions during Vancouver Canucks pre-season training camps in the past.

Last season, the 39-year old Kuntz was an assistant coach with Daemyung Killer Whales of the Asia Ice Hockey League, a professional league with teams from Russia, Japan and South Korea.

Most of his coaching experience came in junior and university

hockey.

From 2015 to 2017, Kuntz was assistant coach for the Western Hockey League’s Vancouver Giants when that team finished fifth in their division and out of the playoffs in those seasons. He was head coach for University of British Columbia Thunderbirds in the 2014/2015 after serving as assistant coach in the UBC program for the four years prior.

As a player, Kuntz was a defender for the BCHL’s Burnaby (now Alberni Valley) Bulldogs for one season in 1998/1999 before join-

ing UBC for a five-year university hockey career.

In a media release, Kings president Rob Villani said Kuntz and the team have a common vision.

“We felt Tyler has a vision for the players and the program that was in line with our vision,” he stated.

“Tyler’s philosophy of developing players on and off the ice and developing them within the community is of utmost importance to him.”

Kuntz replaces former Kings head coach and general manager Kent Lewis, who was fired in January.

Carson, Harold Earl December 9, 1937 - April 29, 2018 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Harold Carson, who died peacefully in the Powell River General Hospital surrounded by family and friends. He will be greatly missed by his wife Alice (nee Hammond), three children, Auleen (Paul), Roy (Shelly) and Tom (Stephanie), and grandchildren Jonah, Noah, Emma, Tommy, Eli, Steve, Sammy and Izzy, as well as the extended Carson family and many friends.

Harold was born in Fort William, Ontario (Thunder Bay), and came to Powell River at the age of 6 with his parents, Herb and Ethel Carson, and sisters June (Miller/Taylor), Doreen "Dodie" (Coe), and Frances "Frankie" (Cochlan). Harold attended Brooks High School, and was very active as a musician, singing, playing oboe and saxophone, and graduated class of ’56. He met and married Alice in Powell River, and then studied music and English literature at Western Washington University, returning to work at MacMillan Bloedel in the summers. Harold’s early career was as a music and English high school teacher in the Seattle, Washington area, where he raised his young children, and received two Master degrees from the University of Washington, in Education, and in Library Science. He also worked as a research librarian at Boeing in Seattle.

While studying for his PhD in Education, Harold returned to Powell River in 1973, where he taught briefly at Max Cameron High School, and then became the Director of Special Services for School District 47, a position he held for 25 years. During his tenure, he was dedicated to serving students with special needs and their families. For two years he was seconded by the British Columbia Ministry of Education to perform accreditation of special needs programs throughout the province. Harold was also very active in the community as a musician, co-founding the Powell River Boys’ Choir with Ken Peterson and Don James, acting as choir director at the Lutheran and Anglican churches, and hosting a weekly madrigal group in his home. Recently, Harold has been active leading, arranging, and playing saxophone in his dance band, Retro. The group has played throughout the community, including regular appearances at seniors’ residences.

Harold was, and remains, an inspiration to his children and grandchildren, as well as his many nieces and nephews (as Uncle Haddie): he was an eloquent, educated man with a quick wit and sense of humour. Harold will be remembered as a well -rounded man of diverse interests: a passionate audiophile, a lover of art and literature, a consummate host of family dinners, wine tastes, scotch tastes, gourmet meals, house parties, pesto festos, bridge games, with a fierce dedication to good espresso, not to mention swimming and pumping iron with his gym crew at the Recreation Complex.

The family would like to extend their thanks to all the doctors and nurses who provided excellent care at the Powell River General Hospital. As per Harold’s request, there will be no funeral service.
