Whale sightings increase in region Upper Sunshine Coast offers opportunities to view marine mammals SARA DONNELLY community@prpeak.com

A sunny day or weekend in the Powell River region provides ample opportunity to view spectacular marine life. Many boaters in the area have already been treated to the sight of orcas and humpback whales in the past few weeks, however, these interactions require awareness and respect, said Wild Ocean Whale Society founder Susan Mackay.

“We have about 40 humpbacks in the area;

basically straight across from Comox up to Chatham Point,” said Mackay. “We’ve had a few pods of orca go through as well.”

Seeing these marine mammals up close can be an awesome sight, but it is important for boaters to be hyper aware that seeing one usually means others are close by.

“You might spot one whale, but don’t realize if there’s one there’s usually more than one,” added Mackay.

“People need to be very cautious because there are so many whales, and not all of them can get out of the way fast enough.

They are slower, larger animals,” she added.

Mackay said some have been struck in the region already.

“Not specifically in front of Powell River, but we are seeing a lot of boats with near $479,000 BUILDING LOT

misses with humpback whales in particular,” she said.

Another major concern is entanglement.

An entangled whale is currently swimming around in the area, said Mackay, stressing that should boaters come upon it that they do not attempt to untangle it themselves but instead contact Wild Ocean Whale Society or the Fisheries and Oceans Canada hotline to report it.

“We have people who are setting prawn and crab traps and, as a reminder, all line is dangerous to these animals,” said Mackay.

“Make sure your line is weighted down.”

New rules announced by Fisheries and Oceans last month ensure vessels must keep a minimum distance of 100 metres from most whales, dolphins and porpoises and

200 metres from killer whales, including the endangered southern resident orcas off BC’s coast.

Under the Fisheries Act, anyone who disturbs marine mammals can face penalties of $100,000 up to $500,000 for a criminal offence. Repeat offences could result in higher fines or imprisonment. More than anything, Mackay said boaters should slow down and enjoy the moment if they see the marine creatures.

“If you find yourself close to them, shut down your engine and enjoy it; they put on amazing shows and if your engine is off they may come over,” she added. “Don’t panic; these whales are very aware if you’re stationary of where you are and don’t tend to touch the boat at all. But it’s pretty darned amazing.”

Three small wildfires highlight risk factors surrounding community Oyster farmers first on scene to contain small Okeover fire DAVID BRINDLE reporter@prpeak.com

Wildfire risk in qathet Regional District and City of Powell River became all too real over the BC Day holiday long weekend. Three fires that crews responded to were thought to be human caused.

In Okeover Inlet, quick action from area oyster farmers using their own pumps and hoses contained a 0.2 hectare brush fire before an eight-member crew from Northside Volunteer Fire Department (NVFD) arrived.

Mike Mullan, who saw the smoke from his deck, was one of the first on the scene and said they dodged a bullet.

“We were proactive, we spotted it early,” said Mullan. “We were right beside a creek and there was no wind.”

By the time the Northside Volunteer Fire Department arrived, the fire was contained, according to department chief Jim Brown.

The fire was rated category one as a slow, creeping ground fire. It was discovered at 7:30 am on August 6.

According to a statement from BC Wildfire Service, one of its crews responded and three firefighters were helicoptered in to assist. The fire is under control, according to the statement.

Brown said the situation could have been much worse if not for area residents.

“It was bad in there; really hot,” he said. “It would have kept going if they hadn’t got there when they did and started working; it could have been very severe.”

While BC Wildfire Service has not determined how the fire started, Brown said he suspects it was human caused.

Also, a small stump fire attended to by NVFD at 3 am on Tuesday, August 7, was quickly extinguished, according to Brown.

He said that fire was also more than likely human caused.

Meanwhile, in Powell River, a crew from Powell River Fire Rescue (PRFR) was called at about 2 pm on August 5 to a fire burning near the north end of Willingdon Beach.

The fire was burning around a large cedar tree, stump and surrounding combustible materials, according to deputy fire chief Rocky Swanson.

Swanson said there is no way to know for sure but PRFR believes evidence of human activity suggests smoking was likely the cause.

“There’s no reason with the relative humidity that was in the air a fire should just start spontaneously on its own,” he said.

“The conditions weren’t right for that.”

Although small, the fire was difficult for the crew because they had to dig into duff, a layer of fallen twigs, needles and leaves, he added.

“Some of that is metres deep; a thousand years of pine needles and leaves and all of that,” said Swanson. “I’ve seen a fire burn its way through this, burn small

tunnels and pop up 100 metres away. It can be very difficult to put out.”

Swanson said thermal imagery can track what the fire is doing underground. The technology was not used on the Willingdon fire.

He said PRFR is not overly concerned about fires such as

those currently burning in the BC interior.

“With the type of fuel that’s in our forest, it’s not panic stations yet,” he said, “but we would have to be completely remiss to think that because of the changing climate this won’t be a problem, because it’s going to be a problem.”

United States settles on significant trade duties City of Powell River mayor calls tariffs on Catalyst Paper Corporation paper exports devastating

DAVID BRINDLE reporter@prpeak.com

Combined duties slapped on Catalyst Paper Corporation’s exports of groundwood paper by United States Department of Commerce total 20.26 per cent. The department made the announcement on Thursday, August 2.

Groundwood paper accounts for approximately 60 per cent of production at Catalyst’s Powell River mill.

“It’s a major problem,” said City of Powell River m ayo r Dave Fo r m o s a .

“They’re not understating the issue. It’s only Catalyst and it’s all about one mill in Washington. When you get a 20 per cent increase it’s devastating.”

In a statement, Catalyst called the announcement disappointing and the tariffs significant. “ W hile not sur prised, we’re disappointed with the US Department of

Commerce’s decision to keep these unwarranted duties in place, albeit at a lower rate,” said Catalyst president and chief executive officer Ned Dwyer in the statement.

“These duties are punitive and without merit. The allegation that we are subsidized and engage in dumping activities is wrong and does not adhere to the facts.”

In the final counting, Catalyst’s countervailing duty rate is set at 3.38 per cent and the anti-dumping duty rate is 16.88 per cent on Canadian exports of uncoated groundwood paper.

Despite the total being below the commerce department’s preliminary determination made in January, Dwyer said the US protectionist trade attack on Catalyst affects the competitiveness of the company’s business.

“While our mills have provided newsprint to the US for more than 100 years, we’re now changing our customer base to minimize the impact of these duties because of one US mill, but this isn’t sustainable over the long term,” said Dwyer.

North Pacific Paper Company (NORPAC), located in Longview, Washington, was the only US mill to file a complaint that imports of uncoated groundwood

paper from Canada have been detrimental to the US industry.

Uncoated groundwood paper is used in production of newspapers, directories, flyers, catalogues and books.

It is produced at Catalyst’s three remaining mills in Powell River, Crofton and Port Alberni. The company recently sold its US assets.

The US International Trade Commission (ITC) is Catalyst’s last hope against the duties. ITC still has to affirm NORPAC’s allegations, review the commerce department’s investigation and Canada’s evidence before a final order is made, expected to be in mid-September.

“We urge the International

Trade Commission to do what is right and determine that the US industry has not been injured, and overturn the Department of Commerce’s decision,” said BC minister of jobs, trade and technology Bruce Ralston in a statement.

“Should the ITC ignore all evidence before it and find that US industry has been injured in this case, we will work with the Government of Canada to pursue all appeals.”

The continued effect of a 20.26 per cent duty, eight points below the preliminary assessment, is a growing concern for premier John Horgan’s government, which stepped in to protect Catalyst’s salaried

pensioners and employees on July 27.

“BC is very frustrated and concerned about the continued effect these unwarranted punitive duties will have on BC’s forest sector and on the families in communities across BC whose livelihoods rely on it,” he said.

Catalyst employs about 400 people at its Powell River mill. The company’s value to the local economy is approximately $125 million annually, including $40 million in direct payroll, more than $5 million in taxes and another $80 million in indirect expenditures. The duties will cost the Powell River mill millions of dollars in revenue each month,

according to Formosa.

After repeated efforts to persuade the Trump administration for common sense to prevail in the dispute, Ralston said there is unprecedented opposition to the paper trade war from across the US political spectrum and industry.

Ralston added that the government is engaged in ongoing discussions with local and provincial stakeholders, unions, mayors and MLAs in seeking to stabilize Catalyst’s operations.

“The trick for Catalyst is finding other markets for that paper or other products to fill that gap,” said Formosa. “It’s a critical time for us.”

Eldred Valley Douglas fir garners attention Ancient Forest Alliance plans visit to investigate tree in Powell River backcountry DAVID BRINDLE reporter@prpeak.com

A giant Douglas fir in the Elred Valley has caught the interest of Ancient Forest Alliance (AFA) executive director Ken Wu. The tree is a one-hour and 45-minute drive northeast of Powell River and located at the base of the West Main Wall, the Eldred's largest rock feature at 85 metres tall, according to local rock climber Evan Guilbault.

Guilbault and climbing partner Zoe Manson said they have measured the circumference of the tree at approximately 7.9 metres.

“Essentially, all of the forest beneath the main wall has been logged other than this little strip that runs along the base,” said Manson. “We thought this tree in particular was massive so we took out our cordelette, which is six metres long, and we wrapped it

around almost twice.”

A cordelette is a rope used in making rock climbing anchors.

“It’s a big tree,” said Guilbault.

“When I’m 120 metres up the wall the trees are just beneath me.

They're huge.”

Wu plans to investigate the tree, the Eldred and Powell River’s backcountry in September.

“I haven't seen it directly but if it's that big certainly it would be one of the biggest in the province,” said Wu. Most of the big Douglas fir and big trees in general are on Vancouver Island, according to Wu, so the Eldred Douglas fir is significant.

“It should be noted that, in general old growth, Douglas fir on the coast are incredibly scarce now,” said Wu. “There's about one per cent of the original extent of old-growth Douglas fir stands left on the coast, so it sounds like this is a very significant area.”

Much of ARA’s work has been done on Vancouver Island.

Wu said he has visited Powell River several times but not the Eldred Valley.

“I know that old growth, proportionately, is the most valuable in that region because

you've lost so much of it,” he said.

“Your remaining stands are all vitally important for immediate protection.”

The provincial government can do that through a cabinet order or a land-use order, according to Wu. Manson and Guilbault speak of the tree with almost mystical reverence because it honours a friend and rock climbing pioneer from Powell River, Rob Richards, who died recently.

Richards illustrated local author Christie Dionne’s climbing guidebook, Powell River Rocks.

Richards and Christie’s husband Colin Dionne, who died in 2011, discovered the Eldred for climbing.

Since their first routes and climbs, word has spread throughout the climbing world about the Eldred and, in the last few years, Daniels Valley, as destinations rivalling Yosemite National Park in the United States.

The day Richards died, Manson and Guilbault were set to climb a route Dionne and Richards had set 25 years ago; no one has climbed the route since, according to Manson.

“We were under this wall, inspired to get on his climb that no one had attempted; he died that

Birtig said old asphalt was removed on a two-block stretch of Maple Avenue in Townsite.

“We're also reshaping the crown of it so it's got a better road profile, and so we don't have pooling, then we're repaving those two blocks,” said Birtig.

Priorities in the $600,000 pavement management program are determined by traffic volume, the service life the road has given the

city, the number of repairs required for patching and fixing potholes, and existing infrastructure that needs to be replaced, according to Birtig.

The city will be doing work on a few other road sections, he added, but those have not been finalized.

not the only time one of the pieces has been targeted.

“We've had damage to the carving at the Patricia Theatre,” she added. “It's been redone three times and now it's damaged again.”

At Powell River Recreation Complex, repairs had to be made after someone broke a piece off the carving at the upper entrance.

A file on the theft of the bench piece has been opened by Powell River RCMP. In a statement, sergeant Kevin Day said police received the theft complaint on

August 7. The piece, created by Damon Gorecki from Roosevelt, Utah, was taken sometime within the previous two days, according to Day. He stated the carving is valued at approximately $8,000.

Eight carvings will be moved from their current location at Willingdon Beach next week.

Anyone with information about these incidents is asked to contact Powell River RCMP at 604.485.6255, or to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1.800.222.TIPS (8477) or online at bccrimestoppers.com.

City adds charging stations Two new electric vehicle charging stations are ready to be installed by City of Powell River.

“Those charging stations have been delivered,” said city director of planning Thomas Knight. “They’re sitting waiting to be installed and

we can’t get the contractors to actually do the installation until we have the money.”

Powell River has been successful in obtaining provincial funding through Plug-In BC to pay up to 50 per cent of the total cost for acquiring the charging stations, he added.

Knight asked committee of the whole on July 31 to

approve the city’s share of $25,000, which includes half the cost not covered under the incentive program, an electrical contractor and work done by the city.

There are approximately 22 electric vehicles or hybrids in Powell River, according to Knight.

Currently, the city has public charging stations

at city hall and the upper North Harbour parking lot, which is the most heavily used.

The new dual port stations will be located at the two largest public facilities in the city: in front of Powell River Public Library and at the Powell River Recreation Complex main entrance on the lower level.

Log carving at future Powell River Logger Sports events might be cancelled, according to a director of the organization and the person responsible for the unique chainsaw competition, Laura Passek.

Passek said she was saddened and heartbroken upon discovering the recent theft of a piece of an elaborate chainsaw carving of a bench, which was created at Logger Sports in July. She said she believed the theft had to have been the work of multiple people.

“I don't know what made them think they could take the bench apart, but they took the top section of the back part,” said Passek. “It has to be at least five feet long and heavy. They took that off and a small, minor little axe that was on another carving went missing.”

If this kind of vandalism keeps up, Passek said she is frustrated enough to drop the event. The latest incident is

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

Domino effect United States president Donald Trump has another two years and five months in his term.

Until then, his trade attacks are likely to continue threatening jobs in other countries, including Canada, despite the negative effect punitive duties and tariffs on other countries have on businesses in his own country.

Duties imposed on exports of groundwood paper from Catalyst Paper Corporation by United States Department of Commerce threaten jobs at mills in Crofton, Port Alberni and Powell River, but the tariffs are also driving up costs for businesses south of the border.

In April, Tampa Bay Times cited higher newsprint costs due to the Trump administration’s tariffs on Canadian producers as the reason for laying off 50 employees. The company estimated the action would add $3 million in additional costs. Salt Lake Tribune also attributed layoffs and a reduction in products to the tariffs.

Duties placed on BC lumber are meant to level the playing field for US producers. That may help them, but builders now face rising costs as Catalyst seeks customers elsewhere for its products.

Canada is taking a stand against Canada is taking a stand protectionist measures taken against protectionist by the United measures taken by the United States, but as with States, but as with most most people and groups, change people and groups, change must come from must come from within. within.

C ur rently, Trump not only wields the power of the oval office, but the Republican Party also holds a majority in the House of Representatives (236 to 193 with six vacancies) and the Senate (51 to 49). As much as some Republicans speak out against their president, the party’s current position provides it with opportunities to move forward with an agenda favourable to supporters.

None wants to rock the boat, not too much anyway.

The biggest opportunity for Americans to voice their opinions on the Trump administration comes on November 18 when all seats in the house and 35 in the senate will be contested. The outcome will not change who is president, but it could create a shift in power if the Democratic Party can assume control of one, or both houses.

Those counting the days until November 2020 can dream about a new administration with a different foreign policy and work to overcome the impact of the president’s base. It will take a lot of work but there are signs it can happen.

In the meantime, Canada needs to do what it can to mitigate policies that are hurting segments of both countries’ economy.

HEALTHY LIVING

theme in recovery from addiction, or just trying to find meaning or happiness is “balance.”

Too much of any one thing will contribute to imbalance and, over time, discontentment (this includes New York-style cheesecake with caramel drizzle, believe it or not).

To counterbalance the feeling of being over submerged in our social and work life, we might need a complete interruption from it, giving ourselves some time to do nothing and seeing the value in it.

There are large overall health benefits in silently sitting beside your favourite lake away from the incessant chatter of everyday life and just embracing the stillness.

Slumping comfortably in a chair listening to the distant hum of a passing floatplane, or just watching the translucent green alder leaves sway while the August sun turns the lake into field of sparkling diamonds, is a positive move toward a healthy balance.

Being temporarily off the grid, and conveniently just outside cell reception, shouldn’t be thought of as avoidance from »7

In six to eight weeks of no exercise, your body will undergo some major changes. Muscle mass, streng th, speed and endurance decreases will continue, along with bone density decreases, flexibility decreases and blood flow decreases. You may find your sleep more restless, and there’s the risk of turning into a “Grumpy Gus,” since you won’t be exercising and triggering happy endorphins that elevate your mood.

The good news: All of these losses can be reversed by resuming your training. But if you take the summer off,

It can be a search for balance and, possibly, connection to something deeper within yourself. Maybe, something spiritual.

Let the emails, messages and texts go completely unanswered for a bit of time. The technological reality of being “out of cell range” is a pretty solid excuse. Also, “I know, I can’t believe I forgot my phone charger, either,” can be a useful phrase when re-emerging from your self-imposed exile.

However, to be more serious, we don’t need to justify or have guilt around

taking some time to do nothing. It’s an empowering choice for yourself and quality of life.

Being healthily away from the stress-related over-connectivity of technology driven modern life might be more effective than prescribed medicine for body and mental stress.

British author A.A. Milne, who famously wrote the Winnie the Pooh books, was quoted as saying, “Don’t underestimate the value of doing nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can’t hear, and not bothering.”

LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION:

We’ve all heard the phrase “use it or lose it” and as cliché as it may be, it is true.

It may also be cliché to talk about consistency in our workout schedule when summer rolls around, but I’m going to nonetheless.

It’s worth looking at what happens when we put our exercise regime on the backburner, and perhaps scare ourselves a little into maintaining some training time even when the weather gets nice.

It only takes seven to fourteen days of no exercise to see decreases in muscle mass, VO2 max (the maximum ability of cells to take in oxygen), speed, strength, endurance, coordination and recovery time. Your body is amazingly adaptable, and just as it becomes stronger to adapt to increases in the physical demands you ask of it during your training, your body will become weaker when you demand nothing of it.

Rest days and active recovery are necessary, but seasonally stopping training altogether will mean a long climb back to where you were.

As muscle fibers learn they won’t be put under stress, they will store less energy, and begin to atrophy (become smaller).

Muscles don’t actually turn into fat, but they

Now entering its 34th y e a r , Te x a d a I s l a n d S a n d c a s t l e We e k e n d brings together a random mix of pastimes that truly offer something for everyone, according to event chair Elayne Boloten.

“We go with what works and it’s always a lot of fun; everybody is welcome,” said Boloten. “We try and make it as family inclusive as possible.”

Festivities on Saturday, August 11, begin with the always popular parade in the morning.

“Anybody with a bike, scooter or stroller is welcome to go decorate it at the old school,” said Boloten.

Participants, fun floats, bands and cars will then follow a short route through

the village of Gillies Bay. There is also a car show and shine, bed races and a kids’ zone featuring a bouncy castle. Live music and more than 30 vendors of food, arts and crafts will also surround the ball field in Gillies Bay. “We’ll be playing bingo at about 2 pm and in the evening we head down to Shelter Point for a lipsynch contest, moon-bag ceremony and laser light show to close out the night,” added Boloten.

Sunday begins with a pancake breakfast followed by the actual namesake event of the weekend, the sand sculpture competition, taking place between 10 and 3 pm at Gillies Bay Beach.

“It’s people ’s choice judging and it’s a busy, busy day,” said Boloten.

T r o p h i e s fo r s a n d sculpture contestants will be awarded at 3 pm Sunday.

Started last year and proving a hit is an amateur dog show where pooches can take part in simple obedience, agility and a dress up event. This show takes place at the ball field

in the afternoon and will be followed by a game of pickup softball.

Running at the same time as Sandcastle Weekend is the ninth annual Texada Skim Jam at Gillies Bay Beach for three hours during the lowest tide each day. All are welcome to come try out the sport with board rentals and lessons available for all skill levels, according to organizer Sue Russell.

“It’s not a competition,” said Russell. “It’s an allinclusive kind of event.”

Six teachers are coming up from Vancouver to teach the sport at all levels, added Russell.

“It costs five dollars to borrow a board or get a lesson,” she said.

The beaches of Texada are tailor-made for the shallow water activity, according to Russell.

“Gillies Bay Beach is so perfect when the tide is super low; there’s actually a tidal stream of fresh water that pops up in the middle of the beach,” she said. “You can get a really nice glide from it, and there aren’t very many hazards out there.”

CULTURE »

Popular arts event gears up for annual showcase Beautiful setting and familiarity lead to ongoing success of Arts Alive in the Park SARA DONNELLY community@prpeak.com

Arts Alive in the Park returns to Willingdon Beach for a 17th year this weekend. The two-day event, presented by Powell River Council for Arts and Culture, takes place August 18 and 19 and brings together dozens of local artists, musicians and food vendors in what co-organizer Ann Nelson describes as a market that wouldn’t be out of place in the Middle Ages.

“My vision has always been of it being like a market day in a medieval town where people wander through the little village of tents and snack on stuff, buy stuff, make connections and listen to street buskers,” she said.

Along with the traditional showcase of paintings, pottery and fibre arts, there will be plenty of live performances from local artists to take in as well.

“We have a full slate of

performing artists on the main stage,” added Nelson.

“We try to give the most space to those who are original singer-songwriters and encourage young performers as much as we can.”

Musical acts include Phil Williams, and Old Enough to Know Better, featuring Geoff Allan, Scott Ritter and Shaun Coburn.

An aspect of the occasion that is gratifying for Nelson is seeing whole families

involved, as spectators and also as artists.

“We’re seeing multi generations of the same families coming,” said Nelson. “They are introducing their offspring to the joys of interacting with happy people who are admiring their work.”

Arts activities for children will also be part of the day.

Tourism Powell River will be on site with its Boler trailer, offering interactive crafts.

“It does indeed make it

a family outing so it's not just for the grownups,” said Nelson.

Last year the event attracted 46 artists and vendors and Nelson said she expects to have just as many this year, adding that no artists are ever turned away.

“Even if artists show up on the day we’ll make room for them,” she added. “We shoehorn them in some place because our intention is for it to be as representative and inclusive as possible.”

Another aim is reminding the community of the rich reserve of homegrown talent.

“It’s a celebration of local artists, artisans and musicians because we tend to get into a bad habit of assuming that all the best stuff comes from away,” said Nelson. “We’re trying to counteract that and remind people this is all right here in their backyard.”

Nelson said the winning formula of the gathering’s

ongoing success is in part due to its predictable nature.

“What I cherish the most about this event we’ve created and kept going over all these years is that it has a comforting sort of familiarity; we’re not always looking to top ourselves with something bigger and better and more sparkly and glam,” she added. “It’s a local showcase for artists in every discipline that we can get out of hiding in the summertime.

And it’s a lot of fun.”

Artist rediscovers love of painting process SARA DONNELLY community@prpeak.com

Patricia Sparks was born and raised in Halifax. Inspired by the beautiful Nova Scotia landscape, she began painting at age 11. As an adult she has always been drawn to colour and art in many forms, leading to successful careers in makeup and nail artistry and photography. After a particularly stressful year, Sparks sought an escape and once again picked up her paintbrushes. This outlet to relieve stress soon reignited her passion as painter. She has been painting ever since, trying different mediums and finding a favourite in oils.

When did you come to Powell River?

I'm originally from Nova Scotia and moved to Powell River in 2000. I left a few years ago but visit my family here every month.

How did you get into painting?

I started painting when I was 11, painting landscapes with oil paints on canvas. I sold my first painting when I was 12. Then I didn't pick up paints again until I was 52, but I've always dabbled in all different types of art.

What is your background in art?

I'm a makeup and nail artist and I've always liked to draw. I was going through a very stressful time and one of my nail clients told me I should try painting since I painted such cute things on her nails, so I went to the dollar store and bought a bunch of craft paint and a big three-foot by four-foot canvas. From there on I was hooked.

Who and what inspires your work?

Since I started painting again I've developed a passion for painting

portraits. I also enjoy painting flowers and animals. Having black children I have close ties in the black community and I've met a lot of beautiful strong black women, which has inspired me to paint a collection that shows their beauty. My children and my parents have been especially supportive.

Growing up, my parents always encouraged me in whatever hobby I was interested in, my dad especially.

Whenever I found a new hobby he would take me to the craft store and buy all the supplies I needed. My daughter recently came back from a trip to Italy and brought me handcrafted paint brushes. I was ecstatic, to say the least.

Where can people see your work?

You can see my art at instagram. com/patriciasparksart/ and River City Coffee has a few pieces. I'm hoping in the near future I can transition to being a full-time artist.

Coach expresses enthusiasm for tennis facility New director and pro aims to build programs among youth SARA DONNELLY community@prpeak.com

When Gary Winter visited Powell River for the first time earlier this year, he enjoyed the natural surroundings and outdoor activities, but what impressed him most was the tennis facility.

“I was blown away that a place the size of Powell River has two indoor tennis courts,” he said.

Winter takes on the role of Powell River Tennis Centre director of tennis and head pro this September, and he comes with a notable background in the sport.

For the past nine years he was head tennis pro at the Waterloo Tennis Club in Waterloo, Ontario.

Before that he spent 13 years as director of tennis and head tennis pro at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler resort.

“We’re very fortunate to have a coach with Gary’s experience coming to Powell River,” said tennis centre president Igor Skobkarev.

In addition to coaching programs, Winter will be teaching introductory tennis lessons during gym classes at Powell River schools in the fall, something he was previously involved with and is excited to get back to.

“I used to work for Tennis BC and was instrumental in starting up the schools program in the 1980s, so it’s nice to get back to that,” said Winter.

Tennis has a long history in Powell River. The first public courts were built in Townsite in 1929, and the Powell River Tennis and Pickleball clubs still actively play there throughout the year. Winter said the sport could use a boost among younger players in the community.

“I know hockey, soccer and gymnastics are big in Powell River and tennis was kind of a going concern a few years ago, and there’s maybe not a lot of participation right now, but it seems there’s an opportunity to get a lot of kids involved,” he said.

Canadians achieving acclaim on the world stage certainly helps raise the game’s profile, he added.

“It’s really big right now with players like Milos Raonic and Eugenie Bouchard; there’s a lot of interest,” said Winter.

NEW COACH: Powell River Tennis Centre welcomes Gary Winter, seen here at a recent Rogers Cup match in Toronto with partner Rosemary Erb, as its new director of tennis and head pro. Winter, Erb and her daughter Olivia will be moving from Ontario to Powell River later this month. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

Originally from BC, Winter is moving from Ontario with his partner Rosemary Erb, and her daughter Olivia. The trio explored the community earlier this year, including a kayaking excursion in Okeover Arm, and are looking forward to skiing at Mount

Washington.

Winter said he is enthusiastic to get back to his roots in BC and also as a coach, he added.

“I’ve coached at a high level,” he said. “I’ve coached the University of Waterloo varsity team, kids who have gone on to tennis

scholarships in the states, but I really enjoy building the game from the roots and the ground up.

Kings trade for elite defender Head coach makes deal for coveted ‘game changer’ DAVID BRINDLE reporter@prpeak.com

WANTED MAN: Powell River Kings new blueliner Jayden Lee was highly sought-after after by head coach Tyler Kuntz.

Powell River Kings latest BC Hockey League trade, announced on August 1, brings 18-year-old defender Jayden Lee to the team from Langley Rivermen.

Lee is as good a defender as you can get, according to Kings general manager and coach Tyler Kuntz, although he is not an archetype blueliner.

Almost from the moment he joined the Kings in May, Kuntz said he started thinking about how he could acquire Lee. The trade

probably has some of his counterparts in the league scratching their heads, he added.

“I've had three or four guys say ‘that's an unreal deal’ and then there's probably 15 guys who think I'm a complete idiot,” said Kuntz.

At 5’9” and 150 pounds, to say Lee is small for a defender is an understatement.

“You look at him and say, ‘okay, he's probably really smart and he has a lot of skill,’” said Kuntz. “But you don't expect him to be a warrior, and he is.”

It took about two months to add Lee to the roster, according to Kuntz. Mason Snell went the other way in the trade.

Kings acquired Snell, an experienced defender, from Wellington Dukes of the Ontario Junior Hockey League earlier in the off-

season for Nick Abbott and Callum Volpe, who has since ended up with the BCHL Chilliwack Chiefs. Snell was the piece needed for the trade with Langley for Lee. Kuntz said it is almost impossible to trade for a player of Lee’s calibre.

“It happened so fast,” said Kuntz. “It started at about 11 am and it was over by 6 pm.”

Kuntz said Penticton Vees head coach, general manager and president Fred Harbinson was helpful in negotiating the trade.

“I learned a lot from him,” said Kuntz. “I can see why Penticton is successful. He's relentless when he wants something.”

Kuntz said he prefers not to trade but when he really wants something, “I go after it and I don't really care what people think.”

As an assistant coach with Vancouver Giants of the WHL, Kuntz became aware of Lee when he was on the coaching staff of Team British Columbia at the 2016/2017 Western Canada U16 Challenge Cup, with the top 15-year-old and 16-yearold players from the four western provinces.

“Jayden has the ability to control a game with his brain,” said Kuntz. “He's really intelligent, he's very good with the puck, and he has great vision and a very good shot.”

Meanwhile, Kings main training camp be g ins Monday, August 20, at Hap Parker Arena in Powell River Recreation Complex.

The morning session takes place from 10 am to 12 pm and the afternoon session is from 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm.

Both are open to the public.

September 30, 1946 – July 22, 2018

Emelie Harriet Clancy April 7, 1936 - August 6, 2018

It is with heavy hearts we announce the peaceful passing of our mother, Emelie, after a very brief illness and while surrounded by family.

Mom was born in Naicam, Saskatchewan, and was the second daughter of Willie and Ruth Fosterson. She was predeceased by her husband of 46 years, Dennis, in 2001, brother Ralph Fosterson in 2008 and sister Bernarda Selin in 2016.

She is survived by her children Debbie Greene (Wally), Patricia Newbury (Ken), Denise Heatley (Norm) of Campbell River, Roger Clancy (Sherry) of Campbell River, and Cindy Willich (Mike Lance) of Courtenay; grandchildren Lori Balzan (Jesmond), Cheryl Infanti (Andy), Dan Heatley, Nik Newport (Becki), Adam Heatley (Crystal), Marika Maki (Paul), Adam Levangle (Gina) and Matt Sieffert (Alysha); great-grandchildren MacKenzie, Drew, Camryn, Payton, Pierson, Kennedy, Reid, Ross, Adora, Ryleigh, Travis and Clinton. She is also survived by her brother Elwyn of Powell River and many nieces and nephews and extended family.

Mom spent the last 55 years on a hobby farm in Wildwood where she and dad raised their five children. She always had a huge garden and together mom and dad tended u-pick berry fields where they grew strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. Over the years they grew and sold corn, cabbage and an assortment of other vegetables and eggs.

Mom was also very involved in the community, where she volunteered with hospice, played the organ and sang hymns with the residents of the Olive Devaud and extended care, was one of the Wildwood Grannies and was also known as “Hockey” grandma to others.

She had an amazing green thumb and loved to knit and crochet.

Mom was very artistic, which was evident in the sewing and crafts she loved to do. She was best known for her baking, especially her buns; you could often find mom in her kitchen baking buns for a wedding, party or some other function.

Mom is at peace and has gone home to her Lord. She will be greatly missed by many, even the bears.

A service will be held at 1 pm on Saturday, August 11, at the Pentecostal Evangel Church, 5139 Manson Avenue in Powell River. No flowers by request, donations to BC Children’s Hospital would be greatly appreciated.
