Three weeks to the day they were killed in a shooting in Lund, the lives of two young men were celebrated by nearly 600 hundred people gathered at Evergreen Theatre on Saturday, July 8.

The friendship of Braxton Leask, 20, and Dylan Buckle, 20, has been described as being as close as brothers. They grew up together, lived together, died together and were NEW $479,000 WITH A VIEW

grief and mourning has not abated for many, especially the victims’ families.

“In the mornings, I’m pretty good. I just try to get up and get going and do as much as I can,” said Braxton’s mother Nichelle Guignard. “As the day goes by, I can’t seem to do much.

He’s never out of my mind.”

Surrounded by memories of her son, Guignard said she has not begun to heal, but the outpouring from the community, her family and friends is helping to overcome the hurt.

“Right now, I have all of his belongings here and I haven’t really gone through all that stuff yet. It’s just difficult,” she said. “Trying to not be angry is the biggest thing. I’m angry because he can’t continue to be the great person he was.”

During the afternoon ceremony, people of the Powell River region came together and paused in an act of kindness, outpouring of affection and remembrance for Leask and Buckle.

“The love from everybody in the community for these two boys, these two young boys who had such short lives and yet seem to have made such an impact on so many people, gave me great comfort,” said Dylan’s mother Terry after the service.

Jerseys with their Powell River Villa soccer club numbers, nine for Buckle and 11 for Leask, hung beneath photos of both men. Family, close friends and teammates gave deeply personal eulogies before a full theatre.

League season. The two were described by team officials as “Villa boys” with “Villa hearts.”

The club made a significant gesture, one that is highly regarded in all sports at every level. Players will wear the team’s new home and away jerseys with the men’s initials on the sleeves.

To see the community support behind these two boys, in particular the Villa soccer club, was absolutely unbelievable.

TERRY BUCKLE

MOTHER OF SHOOTING VICTIM

Dylan’s brother Robert and Braxton’s brother Calum, father Rod and sister Miranda, as well as Villa president Jamie Zroback, Villa player Kye Taylor and the two victims’ friend Dylan Quesnel, came to the stage to tell their stories.

For Terry, who had not been to Powell River since her son and Leask graduated from Brooks Secondary School three years ago, other than a quick trip one week ago, it was a surreal experience returning for the finality of putting the friends to rest.

“I was anxious about the service,” said Terry. “In the end, it was just wonderful and another step in the healing process. To see the community support behind these two boys, in particular the Villa soccer club, was absolutely unbelievable.”

Much was made of Leask’s and Buckle’s love of soccer and for Villa, the team they had played for and had planned to take the field for again in the coming Vancouver Island Soccer

“Years down the road, when you have new players who come on who may have not have known the boys, the story will live on of who they were, and their characters and what they meant to the team,” said Zroback.

After the formal ceremony, past and present Villa players and their fans all rose to sing the Villa song in a rousing final farewell.

Tributes from Villa, as well as a deeply sentimental song from a young local musician, will live on for Terry, she said.

“It was also Austin Parise’s song,” said Terry. “What a musically gifted young man.

My son Dylan was extremely proud of Austin. It was fitting that Austin sang and it was just absolutely magical.

It was just beautiful.”

Parise’s acoustic eulogy, while choking back tears of grief, was the most raw and heartfelt emotion of the ceremony. The song was “Swing Life Away” by Rise Against.

“It’s a song about outgrowing your home and running away with good friends and

getting to a new place with the people you love,” said Parise.

Buckle, Leask and Parise, friends since childhood, lived together for a year until last September. Singing the song from one of their favourite bands was harder than Parise thought it was going to be.

“It was Dylan’s favourite band,” said Parise. “They both loved to sing that song and just belt it out.”

Terry said she wanted to thank all of the people who were involved in organizing and putting on the service.

“Coming back this weekend was just the next step in sending the boys on their journey to their next adventure,” said Terry. “It was absolutely the most wonderful way to send these boys off. It was just phenomenal.”

Shooting suspect Jason Foulds, 19, of Powell River, has remained in custody, awaiting his next court appearance on Monday, July 24, in Campbell River for a hearing to consult with counsel.

Foulds has been formally charged with two counts of first degree murder and one count of the attempted murder of Zane Hernandez.

“Although I didn’t know the family and I didn’t know him, I feel for them very much,” said Guignard.

Terry said she believes Saturday’s service, Villa’s gesture and a possible scholarship in the men’s names is going to continue to help heal the community and bring it closer together.

Leask’s mother’s final words captured the essence of the lives of the two men, the service and the community.

“Spread your love,” said Guignard during the service.

“That’s what I would like you to leave with today.”

Committee continues tree bylaw discussion

Police seek suspect Powell River RCMP are on the lookout for a woman who reportedly propositioned a child at Sunset Park in Wildwood the night of Tuesday, July 4.

A young boy told his parents a woman came up to him in the park and invited him to her house, which she claimed was nearby.

When one of the child’s parents approached the scene, the woman quickly walked away. His parents attempted to locate the woman in the neighbourhood, but were unsuccessful.

The woman is described as caucasian in her late 30s to early 40s, approximately 5’5” with shoulder-length brown hair wearing black leggings and blue tank top.

Police are asking anyone with further information about this incident to contact the RCMP at 604.485.6255.

Developers take issue with treeremoval policies on private land DAVID BRINDLE community@prpeak.com

Gow said the existing bylaw is outdated and unfair.

Edwards said it was ridiculous and handcuffed development. Brewer said it was confusing from the start and

that it is evident a new one needs to be written.

Developing and writing a new tree-protection bylaw will take a year or more and, meanwhile, construction of 3C1B’s subdivision is being held up during the most productive time to build.

to 20 per cent, a compromise that Brewer said is fair, but 3C1B does not.

“There’s a place for trees and parks and greenbelts, but not in the middle of a residential subdivision,” said Edwards. “Take a look at where people have left great big trees in their yards and what they do to the homes, how they deteriorate siding and roofs. Now they’re stuck with a great big stump in their front yard that they put a potted plant on top of.”

Edwards said if the city requires the development to leave 20 per cent of the trees he will make sure the responsibility is on the city for any damage to housing units.

“Should anything come of these trees that the city has mandated we leave, if anything should come of any damage to perimeter drains, roofs, gutters, anything like that,” said Edwards, “we’ll let the insurance companies know the city required those trees to stand.”

BC Wildfire Service has implemented a ban on all campfires and open fires throughout BC ’s west coast, including Powell River region, as of 12 pm on Thursday, July 6.

The service announced the ban due to rising temperatures and upcoming long bouts of dryness.

The ban includes campfires, open fires, fires burning wood in outdoor stoves and torches, fireworks, sky lanterns and all burning barrels or burning cages.

The ban does not include properly rated cooking stoves using propane, gas or briquettes.

Gow said city staff’s initial recommendation to the company’s request for an exemption to clearcut the lot was to amend the out-ofdate bylaw for variance and look at developing a new bylaw, both of which will take time.

“I must admit I didn’t think that was going to be the ideal situation because I know the development community doesn’t want to be held up,” said Gow. “I’m aware of that so I put forward an alternative recommendation.”

The second option Gow recommended, which the committee unanimously decided to move forward to council, was a relaxation of the retention requirements for the 3C1B development from 80 per cent of trees left

LUXURIOUS

Powell River’s tree-protection bylaw has become a matter of controversy, made clear by separate presentations brought before the two most recent City of Powell River committee of the whole meetings.

On Tuesday, July 4, a delegation from 3C1B Developments made application for a variance permit that would allow it to remove 100 per cent of the trees on its new Westview subdivision near Field Street and Bowness Avenue.

At the prior committee meeting, on June 13, Townsite resident Patricia Barnsley said the city’s treeprotection bylaw does not go far enough to save significant trees, such as Ontario maples and Dogwood.

But, according to 3C1B director and local developer Darren Edwards, the bylaw goes too far and is anti-development.

Powell River’s tree-protection bylaw was written in 2008 to enforce a retention of 80 per cent of trees on any lot within city limits greater than one hectare, or 2.47 acres. 3C1B’s proposed subdivision property of 16 single-family units falls under that clause. The existing bylaw only allows for 20 per cent of the trees on the lot be removed.

City senior planner Jason Gow recommended a compromise where a new treeprotection bylaw would be written and a variance of an 80 per cent cut approved for 3C1B’s project, but not the

Lounge seeks licence extension Venue and restaurant owner asks City of Powell River for extended hours and dancing endorsement DAVID BRINDLE community@prpeak.com

Public hearings into applications made by The Vault Venue and Restaurant to City of Powell River’s committee of the whole on Tuesday, July 4, are likely to take place, according to city director of planning Thomas Knight.

Vault owner Amy Sharp asked for a patron-participation endorsement and a uniform extension of her establishment’s business hours at the meeting. Her business’ hours were initially extended last July.

Sharp said the public hearing process for her latest request would cost local taxpayers money.

“The $2,000 fee I would pay would be going to pay for the public hearing costs such as signage and adver-

tising,” said Sharp. “The city would still have to pay for their staff and council time to prepare, manage and report on the public hearing.

It would be a notable cost for the city to incur.”

Knight said Sharp’s presentation caused confusion among committee members and caught him off guard.

He added that he went before the committee with information received from the applicant solely on the question of patron participation, which, in the case of the Vault, means dancing to live or amplified music.

According to Sharp, customers cannot dance at The Vault because the liquor licence does not include a patron-participation endorsement.

While Sharp brought two issues before the committee, it was patron participation Knight was expecting to answer the committee’s questions on, not an extension of The Vault’s hours of operation.

“The basic information was she would like to change patron participation,” said Knight. “There was no discussion about changing hours or anything.”

Knight said Sharp’s initial submission did not lead him to believe the patron participation request would require the city to hold public hearings.

Based on the information on hand, Knight said there was no reason for a full survey that can cost $2,000. Instead, he said the city should opt out of the process, send the request to BC Liquor Regulation and Licensing Branch and let it consider the application more fully.

“They’re required by law to then consider what type of public engagement they want to do at their cost,” said Knight. “That was it.”

According to Sharp, that was not it. She said she went before the committee also seeking an extension of The Vault’s hours of operation, which are different from the serving hours on the liquor licence.

“My business licence is restricted to being open until 10 pm on Sunday to Wednesday, 11 pm on Thursday, and midnight on Friday and Saturday,” she said, “and my liquor licence says to midnight every night.”

Sharp said she wants the hours of operation, which are set by the city, to reflect the liquor licence.

According to Knight, the two issues, one he had been expecting and one he had not, put him in a position where he had to change his recommendation on the fly because the committee had new information.

Knight said the committee had his first report, Sharp’s

presentation, the amendment to his recommendation as well as information Sharp had distributed to committee members by email prior to the meeting.

“It was all over the map,” said Knight.

With patron participation and hours of operation combined, Knight said he felt it necessary to have public input due to the impact the changes could have on the

Hearings will ascertain what local concerns are and that information will be sent back to council to form and send a resolution to the regulation and licensing branch, he added.

for federal licencing by securing rights to building and parking lot JASON SCHREURS publisher@prpeak.com

City of Powell River council has approved amendments to a lease agreement with the proponents of a medical-marijuana facility being developed in the former Catalyst administration building.

Santè Veritas asked council to shorten its option to purchase the building to 45 days after Health Canada approval and remove the right of first refusal, including an exclusive option to purchase the building’s large parking lot for expansion.

Council passed a motion unanimously at its meeting on Thursday, July 6, to amend the 10-year lease with a 10-year renewal option at the recommendation of city chief financial officer Kathleen Day. City of Powell River mayor Dave Formosa

said he was confident the project will proceed as planned and Health Canada will issue a licence for the facility in the first quarter of 2018.

“They basically have their licence, but it’s subject to the property being built out per the plans, otherwise they wouldn’t spend these millions,” said Formosa. “As long as they do everything they promised to do in their application, they’ve got it.”

City economic development manager Scott Randolph said he shared Formosa’s optimism about the project, one the city has been working with Santè Veritas on since before the medical-marijuana company began the federal approval process in 2014.

“Their architect is well experienced in this area and has been involved in the development of four other facilities of this nature,” said Randolph, “so they’re in good shape.”

Randolph said the company is currently preparing the site for renovation and the city’s planning department received a development permit on Friday, July 7, with a building permit application expected soon.

The multimillion dollar Townsite facility is expected to create approximately 50 local jobs in its first phase.

Tla’amin evicts parking company DAVID BRINDLE community@prpeak.com

Short-term parking in Lund will be operated by Tla’amin Nation after End of the Road Parking received an eviction notice from the nation last week.

According to a statem e n t f ro m T l a ’a m i n Management Services LP interim chief executive officer Marlane Christensen, “With treaty implementation, a natural and inevitable progression of selfcontrol by Tla’amin Nation over the Lund Hotel Parcels has come to pass.”

The statement confirmed that as of July 10, Tla’amin has effectively taken control of the Lund Hotel Parcels, including parking lots previ-

OPINION »

Published every Wednesday Unit F, 4493 Marine Avenue, Powell River, BC V8A 2K1

Villa hearts Everyone needs to belong to a club. For Braxton Leask and Dylan Buckle, that club was Powell River Villa.

A double memorial service on the afternoon of Saturday, July 8, ended in a rousing version of the Villa soccer song, a fitting tribute to two young men who lived and breathed the sport until the day they died.

Because of the support from family and friends, Leask and Buckle were introduced to soccer at an early age and it became a huge part of their upbringing.

Villa president Jamie Zroback announced at the memorial service that the team would honour the two fallen players by putting their initials on team jerseys. Zroback said this will ensure future generations of Villa soccer players and fans never forget the men’s story.

It was a classy tribute that shows how much the deaths of the two young men have affected the soccer club. As With their Villa jerseys hanging important as Villa below their photos at the was to Leask and memorial service, the sense of Buckle, they were equally as imporbelonging and impact the men tant to the team. had on the community provided With their Villa some peace for family members jerseys hanging below their phoand friends in attendance. tos at the memorial service, the sense of belonging and impact the men had on the community provided some peace for family members and friends in attendance.

“To see the community support behind these two boys, in particular the Villa soccer club, was absolutely unbelievable,” said Buckle’s mother Terry after the ceremony.

During the reception, Terry told Zroback a story of Buckle coming out to a Villa game as a small child. Zroback said the vivid memory of that day immediately came back to him.

Infatuated with soccer from a very early age, the young Buckle was thrilled to be at a Villa game, getting a tour from Zorback that included sitting on the bench and going inside the clubhouse to meet players. He told Zroback, “I just want to be old enough to play.”

Zroback said he will never forget Buckle’s small hand clasped in his own as he led the small boy around the field.

Leask lost an eye when he was five years old, but that did not stop him from being an exceptional soccer player and eventually realizing his dreams of playing for his hometown team.

Buckle and Leask went from idolizing the players on the field to having a younger generation idolize them; the true power of inspiration in sport.

These were “Villa boys” with “Villa hearts,” and their hearts will always be on the field with their teammates.

CROSSWORD

The Murray Dobbin article [“Counterpoint: Site C a boondoggle, July 5] quoted former Newfoundland and Labrador premier Brian Peckford as saying the country is booked-ended “by governments that failed their people.”

There are 11 million people living in Ontario who would disagree. Ontario jumped out as a leader in the renewable electricity generation with disastrous results, some of the highest rates in the country, and a sell-off of government hydro assets. Now compare this to BC, which produces 95 per cent of its electricity from renewable sources and has one of, if not, the lowest rates in Canada.

Dozens of experts will proclaim financial success and/ or failure for Site C. Analysis depends on a number of assumptions: the amount of demand, the selling price and the cost to produce. It is similar to asking an accountant how much two plus two is. The accountant answers, “What would you like it to be?”

In a recent CBC interview, BC Green Party leader Andrew Weaver stated that his assumption is a selling price of three cents per kilowatt and therefore a loss of 10 cents per kilowatt-hour.

If one’s assumption is zero growth in the heavyresource sector in the northern half of BC and zero sales to Alberta’s initiative to

eliminate coal-fired electric generation, then the fiscal outlook is poor.

How can the general public analyze this project without a PhD in economics? I suggest we ask ourselves basic yes-or-no questions.

Will there be increased demand due to population growth and increased electrification resulting from reduced hydrocarbon usage?

Will robust electric-power generation be required for mining/smelting, forestry and energy-resource sectors?

Is Site C’s location beneficial to service the heavy industries? Will Site C act as a catalyst for industrial/resource development in the northern half of BC? Is hydroelectricity a proven source of renewable green energy? Will the water reservoir enable better water management, irrigation, sport and commercial fishing and tourism?

Site C is a yes and a green renewable resource that will stimulate the northern half of BC. Paul McMahon Invermere Court

Negativity persists I acknowledge that Drew Blaney is entitled to his opinion [“Viewpoint: The last 150 years of Tla’amin,” June 28], but so am I to mine.

I have lived on the Sunshine Coast for almost 30 years, the last 20 years here in Powell River and the previous 10 years in Sechelt.

I watched the evolution of the shíshálh Nation in Sechelt as well as Tla’amin Nation here in Powell River.

While that time frame leaves me a relative newcomer in the big picture, it has allowed me a perspective of sorts.

During my time here, I have witnessed a community making an incredible effort to try in some way to atone for the atrocities inflicted upon indigenous people. Those atrocities are undeniable and represent actions most Canadians are terribly ashamed of, and rightly so.

Blaney revisits some of those atrocities but not once does he mention the positives at play here in Powell River today. I refer to the many words and actions designed to include Tla’amin in the community we call Powell River. In my humble opinion, giant steps forward have been taken and the credit for this wonderful accomplishment should be shared equally between Tla’amin and Powell River; kudos to both.

With so much still to be done it is easy to overlook what has been achieved to date. These inclusion efforts run through the community up to and including the current and previous mayors.

Unfortunately, Blaney’s Viewpoint fails to acknowledge a single one of those efforts. I read and reread it hoping to find some acknowledgement, but all I

6« VIEWPOINT er to get the vaccine than the disease and serious side effects are very rare. Vaccines are one of the most monitored and studied health interventions in medicine because they are given to healthy babies and children.

Immunization protects us by preventing the spread of disease. As more people are immunized, the risk is reduced for everyone, in particular those most vulnerable such as babies who are not yet fully immunized and those living with immune-suppressed health conditions.

Some parents are concerned that multiple vaccinations could overwhelm a young child’s immune system. This is not true.

Vaccines strengthen the immune system and prepare a child’s body with the defence it needs to fight disease before the child is exposed to it.

To be fully protected, it is important to follow the routine immunization schedule and to get all shots on time. Delaying or spacing out vaccines is not recommended and can be risky. The schedule is based on

the best science today and is recommended

by Canadian Paediatric Society and College of Family Physicians of Canada. The routine schedule can be found at immunizebc.ca/ get-vaccinated.

Anti-vaccine campaigns are not based on fact or science. It is important to remember that not everything we read and hear is true.

Well-meaning family and friends can pass along inaccurate information and can cause fear and uncertainty. It can also be difficult to sort through health information on the internet, therefore it is always best to consult a health professional, ask questions and voice any concerns.

Immunization has been so successful in eliminating disease that it can be easy for many of us to feel that infectious diseases are no longer a threat. We should all do our part to ensure we do not let infectious disease become a serious problem for this generation or the next.

Paul Martiquet is the medical health officer for Powell River and Sunshine Coast.

found were negatives.

I know many positives exist and can only lament that they are not evident to others. It makes it very difficult to continue to support a position when only the negatives persist and the positives are overlooked.

Blaney makes reference to “Canada’s so-called 150th birthday,” which is inappropriate and disrespectful. I love my country and I love Powell River, but I am a Canadian first, so I will celebrate my country’s birthday without regard to the disdain of others.

Ben Sills Cascade Place

Encompassing hope I was very impressed with the coverage celebrating Canada Day [“Viewpoint: The last 150 years of Tla’amin,” “Editorial: Colonization 150,” June 28].

There is no doubt about the contributions of the many generations, past, present and future, toward the country we know today.

Canada encompasses all of our hopes for our families, our cultures and freedoms.

Many nations had their entire indigenous peoples’ lives destroyed by colonization.

Celebrations have different meanings for everyone.

Whatever form your celebration took, let’s keep the dialogue going.

PITCH PERFECT: Friends of Powell River founder Melanie Jordan [second from right] celebrates with a group of local women after the inaugural meeting of 100+ Women Who Care, Powell River Chapter. Jordan’s organization was selected to receive a cumulative donation of more than $5,500, collected in $50 cheques from each of the women in attendance. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

100+ Women open hearts ANDY RICE Peak contributor

If every penny counts, imagine what could happen if these humble copper coins were replaced by a series of $50 cheques. Such was the case on June 29 during the first meeting of Powell River’s latest philanthropic startup, 100+ Women Who Care, Powell River Chapter.

The premise was simple: gather a large group of women together in a room, each with a charitable organization of choice. Then, select three at random and invite their spokespeople to make a pitch. Finally, take a vote and write cheques for the winning cause.

“We weren’t sure what to expect, and thought since this was such a new endeavour, we might see 30 or 40 people,” said 100+ Women founding director of marketing and communications Jessica Thomson. “One or two began to trickle in, and then before we knew it we had a lineup out the door of women waiting to sign in for the evening.”

In the end, more than 80 showed up, with even more sending donations with a friend. Hundreds are now subscribed to a mailing list for updates and a Facebook group is gaining members daily.

The idea dates back to 2006 when Michigan-based businesswoman K aren Dunigan was looking for a way to fund the purchase of

baby cribs for a local organization in need. She gathered together 100 of her peers and encouraged each to write a cheque for $100.

Within minutes, more than $10,000 had been raised.

Several months later, Dunigan tried it again.

Eventually her philanthropic idea took on a life of its own; the 100 Who Care Alliance was born and now includes more than 400 chapters worldwide, including groups for men, women and children.

“A few of our local chapter’s founding members had heard about the 100 Who Care Alliance, but it was Lori Casparie, our treasurer, who was the spark that ignited us to take action,” said Thomson.

The committee includes chair Tara Chernoff, secretary Wendy Spreeuw, membership coordinator Cindy Villani and official photographer Leah Laurie.

After an initial discussion in early April, things moved fast. By the end of June, members were sitting with dozens of their friends and colleagues in a donated meeting space at Powell River Town Centre Hotel listening to local charities hold the floor. “ The presentations were quite stirring,” said Thomson. “We have some awareness of the local charities and non-profits, but rarely do we get to hear in detail the type of impact they are making on our

community.”

T hree organizations shared their stories that day: Hands Across the Water, a refugee sponsorship group; Powell River Christian School, which unveiled plans for an inclusive playground for children of all abilities; and Friends of Powell River, whose representatives described their efforts to provide food, clothing and activities for underprivileged children in the community.

After careful deliberation, Friends of Powell River emerged with more than $5,500 in funding, while both runners-up received $150 each.

“We will be able to pay for a school year’s worth of breakfast, lunch and snacks for little ones who need it at three different schools,” stated Friends of Powell River founder Melanie Jordan in a media release.

Thomson said it was a special feeling to be in a room full of women who are so passionate about community and collaboration.

“There is a lot of love here in Powell River,” said Thomson. “It was more than evident at our first meeting.”

100+ Women Who Care’s next meeting takes place at 7 pm on September 28 at Powell River Town Centre Hotel, followed by meetings to be held every four months.

Award honours hospital educator Nova Cleghorn receives recognition following nomination by coworkers ANDY RICE Peak contributor

Beaming as she steps off the elevator and rounds the corner toward the third floor nurses’ station at Powell River General Hospital (PRGH), it becomes immediately clear that Nova Cleghorn is one of those people who brightens up even the most sterile of environments.

“I love nursing, I want to do it well, and I want my colleagues to do it well,” said Cleghorn. “That’s just how I roll.”

Cleghorn’s fellow nurses have been singing her praises for decades, but now more than ever since she took on the role of clinical-nurse educator two years ago.

In June, Vancouver Coastal Health ( VCH) awarded Cleghorn a certificate of merit, recognizing her as an Unsung Hero at its 2017 People First Awards. The honour is peernominated and subject to a

rigorous points system that whittled 80 nominees down to a select few.

“It is an award that goes to people who contribute every day in some way or another; they fly under the radar and the work they do supports everyone else in doing a great job,” said PRGH acute services manager Corinna Curtis, who is also Cleghorn’s supervisor. “That’s what Nova is. She’s a great motivator and an inspiration to everyone she works with.

She makes people want to be better.”

The role of clinical-nurse educator at the hospital is all-encompassing. On any given day, Cleghorn supports nurses in MSP, maternity, ICU and emergency departments as they work through orientation, accreditation, policy and all of the day-to-day duties of the job.

Hospitals in larger urban centres typically have one educator for each unit, but in a rural community with limited medical resources, Cleghorn’s position is one of a kind.

“I was flattered and honoured that somebody would recognize me, but there are a lot of other people in this building who go above and beyond,” said Cleghorn.

“Our nurses work at 150 per cent all the time, we really

truly do, to keep this hospital going.”

While she inspires others, Cleghorn said she has her own source of inspiration.

“My son, Jordan,” she said.

“He’s my hero.”

Cleghorn explained how her approach to nursing was forever altered after spending time at BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver while her now 11-year-old son battled a chronic health issue.

“I have lived and experienced the patient perspective,” she said. “I want to make sure that every patient I see or touch I treat like my family, because that is the care I wanted when he was down there,” she said.

“That’s my standard and that’s the standard I try to inspire the other nurses to get to.”

Cleghorn travelled to Vancouver on June 21 for a formal celebration hosted

by VCH president and CEO Mary Ackenhusen.

Fittingly, she was joined by Curtis, a colleague she has worked with either on the floor or in the office for 15 years and counting.

“We’re just extremely fortunate to have someone like Nova working here, and I know she’s a big part of a lot of things in the community as well,” said Curtis. “She brings a lot everywhere she goes.”

SUPER NURSE: After years of supporting her colleagues at Powell River General Hospital, clinical-nurse educator Nova Cleghorn was recently presented with an award of merit by Vancouver Coastal Health.

Recreational housing market mirrors overall rise Real estate report notes upswing in sales activity and prices ANDY RICE Peak contributor

According to a recent report, recreational property markets throughout BC are on the rise, something that is being mirrored in the Powell River area.

Sales of residential and investment properties have increased exponentially over the past two years, but now even the more volatile waterfront and recreational markets are starting to show signs of a turnaround, according to the 2017 Royal LePage Canadian Recreational Housing Report, released on June 20.

“It’s still a small segment of our market compared to the residential and investment,” said Powell River Sunshine Coast Real Estate Board president Neil Frost, “but there is an uptake and that is an indicator the market is healthy and hot.”

Of the 262 properties bought and sold in Powell River between January and June, realtors classified 6.9 per cent of the market to be recreational. According to Frost, this reporting comes down to a judgement call made through discussions

with the client. Those numbers are up from 6.8 per cent in 2016 and 4.5 per cent in 2015.

“The thing about Powell River is that a house on Maple Avenue could be a recreational property,” said Frost. “We do have Powell Lake float cabins and we do have Savary Island. We also have some properties, whether they are in Lund or south of town, that lend themselves to being more a recreational property.”

The Royal LePage report outlined several provincial trends also being observed locally, particularly a dwindling inventory, higher demand and prices in response.

“Now, in many areas, months of pent-up demand has been unleashed onto the market, propelling sales activity higher,” stated the report. “This trend will likely continue for the remainder of the year.”

While local realtors are still seeing the usual presence of out-of-town buyers, longtime Powell River residents have been getting in on the recreational real estate action, too.

“We still do get quite a few locals who are buying things like float cabins,” said Frost, “but the out-of-town demographic is a big part of the market.”

Frost believes this may be a case of people finally fulfilling their bucket-list dreams.

“It’s people who have always wanted a cabin here,

or they’ve always wanted to live on Klahanie Drive,” said Frost.

Others have sold expensive properties in the Lower Mainland, and even the Fraser Valley, in search of a more leisurely and affordable lifestyle on the Sunshine Coast or Gulf Islands, he added.

Rick Thaddeus has been selling real estate on Savary Island since 2002 and has also noticed an increase in activity, especially after a prolonged winter that “stopped the market in its tracks,” he said.

Within the past month, he has sold three properties that had not moved for nearly five years.

“It has just gone day and night,” he said, “and I think it would have happened earlier but for this winter. Maybe it’s a bit of pent-up stuff, but if it goes for another month we’re definitely going to be low on inventory, and in some aspects we’re low already.”

Still, Thaddeus said he remains unconvinced that a recreational real estate boom in general equals a boom on Savary by default.

The island is predomi-

nantly recreational to begin with, presenting an opposite challenge to the one faced by Powell River realtors when it comes to classification.

“I have trouble defining year-round residents, not recreational people,” said Thaddeus.

Regardless of a good or bad market, construction on Savary has remained stalwart.

“Over the winter, two multimillion-dollar homes were constructed,” said Thaddeus.

Builders have been busy in Powell River as well, though Frost is careful to point out that recreational properties

are not necessarily defined by the structure.

Some buyers are able to live in small cabins yearround, while others opt for $750,000 waterfront homes with the intent to inhabit them for only two or three months per year.

In any case, those in the business will be watching trends carefully over the next few months.

“All of the predictions are that this year will not have as many sales, but the prices will be higher,” said Frost.

“The market is healthy and it’s active.”

Chainsaw carvers ready for competition Artists to log major hours at Willingdon Beach this weekend ANDY RICE Peak contributor

Trading their chisels for chainsaws, a dozen master carvers will have blades buzzing this weekend for one of the most gruelling exhibitions Powell River Logger Sports has to offer.

While other events such as the Axe Throw and Chokerman’s Race will come and go within a matter of hours, the more artistic chainsaw carving competition carries on for three and a half days. All the while, spectators will be able to wander throughout Willingdon Beach and keep a close eye on the carvers and their creations.

“The chainsaw carving competition is a great asset,” said Ron Hunter, one of three local judges this year. “It creates a lot more public interest and kind of makes up for a dry spot between some of the events.”

The frenzy of activity from Thursday, July 13, to Sunday, July 16, will be a sight to behold. Heavy blocks of cedar will be transformed into everything from mermaids to movie characters, often without the aid of photos or sketches.

“I try and do everything just

right from my head,” said sole local carver Clinton Bleaney, who will be joined by 11 international artists. “I don’t ever draw anything or measure anything.”

Alberta-based artist Marina Cole said a vision ultimately materializes in a way that is difficult to describe.

“Eventually your mind kind of takes over,” she said. “It’s just something you end up envisioning and it’s very hard to explain.”

That will come as welcome news to amateur carvers such as Barry Rice, a logger sports volunteer who took up the art form at home after watching the 2016 competition. From January to June, he painstakingly crafted a sign for the event that currently stands in his yard on the 4000 block of Marine Avenue. It is chainsaw carving in the most literal sense: a full-size replica of a Husqvarna 266XP. “I’d be doing a little bit, standing back, doing a little more, taking baby steps, whereas these guys would be zipping wood off like there’s no tomorrow,” he said. “It’s a bit of a different league.”

Bleaney recalls his first carving not being nearly as lawn-worthy.

“It was an eagle that looked like a completely straight, flat, boarded goose,” he said. “It was about two inches thick and really funny looking. My buddy still has it.”

No matter how things turn out in the end, the process begins much the same way: with a quest

for the perfect log. For this weekend’s competition, selections will be made by lottery.

“You should always have a couple of different plans in your mind just in case you don’t get that prime piece,” said Cole, adding that other variables such as knotting and rotting can also pose a challenge.

Even when all goes well, competitors must still plan ahead to ensure they leave enough time to finish not only the big cuts, but the little details, too.

“Everybody tries to reach the blocking phase on the first day so they can start detailing,” said Cole.

“With a chainsaw you can get big amounts of wood taken off right away and get yourself down to where you need to be in order to use finer tools like die grinders.”

Judges will be looking for clean lines, the way cuts intersect and the difficulty of the subject. “And if there are add-ons, like feathers and different things, they have to be done well,” said Hunter.

At 1 pm on Sunday, July 16, the final points will be tallied using rules borrowed from Transformations on the Shore, a carving competition in Campbell River. Prize money will be awarded and winning entries will be donated and installed throughout the community.

Cole and Bleaney agree that the biggest prize of all is simply the chance to create art in a pristine setting for an enthusiastic crowd.

“You kind of get trapped in your own world when you’re carving,” said Bleaney, “so it’s definitely nice to turn around and see a whole bunch of people watching.”

Cole said being the centre of attention is not something she seeks out in general.

“Normally, I don’t like a lot of spotlight, but when it comes to

carving it seems as though I can kind of get past that,” she said. “It’s almost a little bit easier when you have people watching. They can see your passion and it makes it that much better.”

Punk rocker delivers inspiring messages JASON SCHREURS publisher@prpeak.com

TAKE A PEAK: Ben Wittrock

Musician Ben Wittrock is a recognizable name and face in the local music scene.

Wittrock, who grew up in Powell River, returned in 2014 and became involved in promoting live alternative music events for youth, as well as recording local bands in his own studio.

All the while, his own musical projects, most notably grunge and folk punk band Razorvoice, remained a prominent part of his creative expression. After living in Vancouver for the better part of 2016 to focus on learning more about recording and engineering, Wittrock returned to town

to record bands of many different styles, including punk, jazz, hip hop and classic rock. He is also planning on starting a punk rock record label in the near future.

When did you first get into music?

I was about 12, or even before that. The very first time would have been when I was hanging out at my friend’s house and his parents were in bands. There was this guitar that was always laying around and I had no idea how it worked. I strummed the high E string and it sounded like “Jingle Bells.”

It felt like a great escape for me.

How would you describe

Razorvoice and what’s the message behind the music?

It’s a cathartic release with an inspiring message to keep your head held high and keep pushing through and staying strong. The style of music is always changing, so it includes everything from punk rock to folk-pop.

What do you think of Powell River’s music scene?

It needed a kick in the ass and I’m happy there’s this new, younger push coming from artistic personalities, and there really seems to be a shift happening the past few years with cool, youthful energy.

You’ve been influential in the local music scene, es-

pecially amongst younger musicians. How does it feel to know you’ve had such an impact?

It feels great, because that’s all I wanted to do; push positivity onto others so we can all create a strong, artistic community, inspiring people to be original and passionate about what they want to pursue.

What does music mean to you?

Music creates a comfortable space for people to be themselves, but it also pushes people to challenge the norm and become better musicians.

Knapp eager to defend logger sports title Local entrant hopes to add another national championship DAVID BRINDLE community@prpeak.com

In his career, Allan Knapp has won three Canadian championships in logger sports. With another year of experience under his belt, the Powell River native is hungry for more titles and wants to win again in his hometown in front of thousands of cheering fans at Powell River Logger Sports from Friday, July 14, to Sunday, July 16.

As for those cheering fans, Knapp said they cause him some nervousness.

“I should have trained more,” said Knapp. “Otherwise, it’s great to show the town this great sport.

It’s a nice feeling to have some locals cheer you on.”

Knapp’s first national titles came in 2013 and 2014 in choker events.

Last year’s success at home has made him eager to earn more.

“I received the Canadian championship for novice Obstacle Pole and first place in intermediate Choker Race in Powell River,” said Knapp. He added a handful of second and third place finishes

at logger sports events in Kaslo, Port McNeill, Squamish, Campbell River, Nanaimo, Port Alberni and Missoula, Montana.

If he does not place here this year, Knapp would be more than satisfied with winning at any number of more than a dozen logger sports competitions held in Canada and the United States, he said.

After a lengthy absence, the return of Powell River Logger Sports in 2016 was a success beyond all expectations. This weekend, the Axemen return.

Powell River Axemen is a local logger sports team that includes Knapp, Brett Marquis, Jeff Coburn, Julian Welp, Kevin Cote, Michelle Silvester, Paulina Schmidt, Rosalea Pagani, Sam Richards, Tyler Brady, Verjall Ham, Zach Swan and Bob Marquis.

At 26 years old, Knapp is the youngest member of team.

Axemen president Bob Marquis says Knapp is everything a logger should be.

“Great kid, salt of the earth, hard worker, good performer and better sportsman, and that’s what we like on the Powell River Axemen’s club,” said Marquis. “We’re great winners, but we’re graceful losers.

Can’t win them all.”

As an athlete, Knapp is fast, according Marquis, and his speed gives him his most competitive edge in the choker and obstacle

events he is already enjoying success in.

“I met him last year when we brought the circuit back because he was on the UBC team,” said Marquis. “We met him when we resurrected the show.”

Knapp became involved in the sport while working in Holberg,

BC, as a summer student in 2013.

“Two of my coworkers were from out east, and competed in collegiate logger sports as captains of their university teams“ said Knapp. “I only had to watch them practice once to know I wanted in on the action, and

then our home suddenly became a house of guys swinging and throwing axes.”

Knapp and his roommates trained and went to compete in Port McNeill.

“Once I had my first taste of a competition, I was sold,” he said.

“Sign me up for another, please.”

Kings add toughness Junior hockey team opens training camp in five weeks DAVID BRINDLE community@prpeak.com

Powell River Kings head coach Kent Lewis has been using the word “tenacious” a lot during the BC Hockey League (BCHL) offseason.

Lewis said he felt a lack of tenacious play was one of the reasons his team did not go deeper into the playoffs last year, losing the Island Division best-of-seven final series 4-3 to Victoria Grizzlies.

Lewis has been on the hunt for tenacity and one of the Kings’ latest signings, 18-year-old Kyle Kawamura, has it.

“Tenacious, fast, good shot and he already has a scholarship to Maine,” said Lewis.

At only 5’6” and 155 pounds, Kawamura does not have size, but he brings a good offensive upside, according to the coach.

Lewis said the 18-year-old Tennessee native is similar to Kurt Keats, who was a fan favourite for two seasons when he played here from 2013 to 2015.

The team is also announcing the addition of more size to the forward positon for the coming season in Kevin Obssuth, a 20-year-old, 6’2”,

181-pound forward.

Another recent signing is 16-year-old defender Nathan Kelly, 5’11” and 175 pounds.

“Nathan has good size, sees the ice well, skates well and he’ll have a very good career here,” said Lewis.

Kelly’s brother Noah attended Kings camp last year and will be vying for a spot in the lineup again this season.

Kelly, Kawamura and Obssuth have the tenaciousness and physical aggressiveness Lewis is looking for this year.

“In our division, especially with some teams undisciplined and dirty, you have to battle that,” said Lewis.

Training camp takes place

from August 21 to 24 and Lewis said he still has lots of holes to fill on his forward lines.

“We’ve been pecking away at doing that and certainly we’ve added quite a few guys who can come in and fill good roles for us,” he said.

“We’re going to have balanced scoring over the lines this year, more so than last, so it’s promising.”

With time to fine-tune, Lewis is anticipating a solid camp with young players and depth.

Meanwhile, BCHL recently announced its 2017/2018 regular season schedule of 58 home and away games for each team. Powell River’s season opens on September 8 against Victoria.

BIG BLUELINER: 16-year-old defender Nathan Kelly is one of the latest signings by Powell River Kings. Training camp for the BC Hockey League team begins in five weeks.
