Seniors take stand on meals Vancouver Coastal Health assures food shortages at seniors residences are being addressed DAVE BRINDLE community@prpeak.com

Advocates of residents at Evergreen Care Unit and Willingdon Creek Village in Powell River are having difficulty understanding how Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) could

allow mealtime food shortages to occur at the region’s two largest seniors care centres. VCH has confirmed that incidents of food shortages have occurred at the two local care facilities. Both are operated under the authority of VCH, which has contracted its food services to Sodexo Canada. “I don’t understand how things could get this bad,” said Elaine Steiger, who has been secretary of the residents’ council at Evergreen for the past three years. “For the last couple of years, most of our meetings have been taken up with the topic of food. Usually it’s the quality, but lately it’s

been shortages.” According to Steiger, for the last several months complaints have been fairly common and the food shortages “border on elder abuse,” she said. Steiger said she even has reports from residents that, on one occasion, some of them were given a nutritional energy drink instead of a full meal. “One day six residents went without a dinner and were given Boost, and I know from complaints we’ve received that shortages are fairly common,” said Steiger. VCH public affairs director Gavin Wilson confirmed the »2

Food inadequate, say residents 1« VCH MEALS Boost incident. According to Wilson, meal replacements or supplements are typically ordered by the clinical dietitian or may be given by care staff when residents are not eating adequately. They are not, he said, routinely given out by Sodexo staff as a replacement for a meal. “However, there was an incident in July in which six people went without dinner and were given Boost instead because not enough of the first-choice menu item was sent up from the kitchen,” said Wilson. “There was adequate quantity of the second choice, but this was not offered to the residents. VCH management met with Sodexo to address this issue.” According to Steiger, some of the residents are unable to communicate for themselves and unless family members speak up, nothing is done. Willingdon Creek resident Doug Grundle said he has raised complaints to management about incidents of food shortages, meals of poor quality, meals not served on time and small portion sizes. “We get small portions without second helpings because the kitchen runs out of food,” said Grundle. Joy and Richard Hibberd have been residents at Willingdon Creek for two years. Joy said the food is barely edible at times and not enough fresh food is served. “We haven’t been getting fresh fruit,” said Joy. “We see a third of a banana maybe once in three weeks.” She also claimed that beverages, such as watered-down juice made with flavour crystals, are tasteless and coffee and tea are indistinguishable from each other. According to Joy, many residents at Evergreen do not eat the meals provided for them. Instead, they find other ways to find food, such as from families who bring meals in. “We’re not enjoying our meals and we should be at this time of our lives.” she said. “It isn’t fair.”

Subsidized residential care costs 80 per cent of a senior’s income, up to a maximum of $3,199 per month, according to the Office of the Seniors Advocate. Wilson said VCH is addressing complaints from residents and family members regarding the food shortages. He added that VCH became aware of problems when Sodexo implemented a new menu at the seniors care residences in June. “In the following weeks we expressed our concerns [to Sodexo] based on feedback we were receiving that there were shortages of first-choice menu items,” said Wilson. According to Wilson, residents who wanted the first choice were not always receiving it. Concerns were also raised about portion sizes. “I want to be clear that, while on some occasions, some residents did not get their preferred option, they still received a meal,” said Wilson. Powell River-Sunshine Coast MLA Nicholas Simons said he first received complaints about food shortages at Evergreen and Willingdon Creek from residents and their family members during the first week of August. He said they told him the problems have been going on for a long time. “I’m a bit worried that [Wilson] seems to be minimizing the issue,” said Simons. “I’ve heard from

enough people to know this is a serious concern that has been going on a lot longer than he says it has.” According to Simons, he will continue to monitor the situation and has written a letter to the Office of the Seniors Advocate requesting the quality and quantity of food being offered across health author-

does not happen again.” Food shortages at Evergreen and Willingdon Creek should never have come to this point, said Simons. Part of the problem is the public is unable to see the contract between VCH and Sodexo, he added. “We don’t have access to the contracts they’ve signed with

Vancouver Coastal Health, so we don’t know the standards to which they need to maintain,” said Simons. He added that there is no whistleblower protection for Sodexo staff, which makes employees reluctant to talk. “A lot of people are afraid to speak out and I understand that,” said Simons. “This is a corporation with 10,000 employees in Canada and we have to hold it to better standards because they are looking after people who are in our long-term care facilities. These are community members who are providing nourishment for other community members and it speaks to our concern about the level of care of seniors that this came to my attention, despite peoples’ fears about raising it.” Simons said he recognizes that VCH has committed to better oversight of Sodexo, which gives him some confidence that the health authority is treating the situation seriously.

According to Wilson, Sodexo has given assurances that action is being taken to remedy the problems. “In response to these and other concerns, Sodexo is increasing production in order to ensure they always have leftovers and account for preferred meal choices and last-minute requests,” said Wilson. “Sodexo has also assured us they are taking steps to improve quality and resident satisfaction with meals.” Mackenzie said this is the first time she has heard of food shortages or residents being given Boost instead of a meal at any BC seniors care facility. She said her office will be investigating for independent verification of Simons’ letter and what she calls VCH’s “massaging of their information.” “You can’t just say, ‘Oh, it happened and we fixed it,’” said Mackenzie. “We need to say, ‘Okay, exactly how did this happen, so we can prevent this from happening again?’”

Library permit imminent, says mayor City still waiting for one more document from contractor CHRIS BOLSTER reporter@prpeak.com

The future of the new Powell River Public Library rests on City of Powell River obtaining just one more document from general contractor Futurevest Investment Corporation.

The city received the building’s final architectural drawings and engineering schedules on Friday, September 23, said mayor Dave Formosa, most of the final documents needed to issue a building permit. “It’s imminent that they are going to have their permit,” said Formosa on Monday, September 26. “Obviously the city is being very cautious.” The city is still waiting for docu-

ments from the company for a convenant that the city insisted on. The covenant is on construction of a fire wall between the library and the shopping centre’s other tenants. “We’re expecting that shortly,” said city director of infrastructure Tor Birtig. “Once we have that, the building permit will be issued.” Futurevest co-owner Jeff Sauve confirmed that the company’s lawyers were looking over the city’s requirements and would be submit-

ting them Tuesday, September 26. Sauve said he has been told that once the covenant is agreed to, his company would receive building permits. Once building permits are issued, Futurevest will provide the city with estimated project milestones and timelines, said Birtig. City council authorized the purchase of the $4.9-million building at Crossroads Village Shopping Centre last spring. It was expected that building

renovations would be complete by August, but delays with seismic upgrading and discrepancies over what was necessary to meet the requirements of the BC Building Code pushed the project months behind schedule. One central sticking point in the project moving forward has been safety requirements of the fire wall. Once construction is underway, renovations are expected to take up to six months to complete.

Councillors call for Inn at Westview to be taken down Manager seeks options for former hotel CHRIS BOLSTER reporter@prpeak.com

STANDING ISSUE: Once a community hub, now boarded up and abandoned, the Inn at Westview has many Powell River residents calling for the city to step up its efforts to have the dilapidated building torn down, but the property owner is still looking for options. JASON SCHREURS PHOTO

Provisions within the charter allow municipal governments to take action, through a number of prescribed steps, to override an owner’s property rights and impose remedial action to deal with buildings deemed public safety hazards or nuisances. Staff is well aware of the power it has to impose the

remedial actions on the property, but is looking at that as “an action of last resort,” said Fraser. Barr said he appreciates the city has tried to work with him, instead of jumping to a quick solution. “I will continue to work toward an acceptable solution,” he said. “I want what is best as well. It just has to make financial sense.”

er to find a solution, rather than impose a remedial solution that would see the city take extraordinary action. City chief administrative officer Mac Fraser said the city has received a lot of correspondence from concerned residents who have been pushing the city to use its Community Charter power to impose a solution on the property owners.

Southcott said he does not consider the building to be a public safety hazard, but the building is an eyesore. “It’s a nuisance, an eyesore and it’s in the centre of town and is going to be have to dealt with at some point, so why not now?” said Southcott. Despite ongoing meetings between the city and representatives for property owner Seaboard Hotels, little information has come to council on what progress, if any, is being made. Councillor Maggie Hathaway said a solution for what to do with the building is way overdue. “It’s been a full year that I’ve been pushing hard,” she said. Just over a year ago, the issue was brought to the city committee of the whole meeting for discussion and in October 2015 council sought a legal opinion from its lawyers, Lidstone and Company. Contents of that opinion, which remain incamera, were discussed at

a closed council meeting in December 2015. Powell River resident and realtor Ross Cooper said he was worried the city may decide to use tax dollars to remedy a problem “that most people would consider the responsibility of the business owner.” Mayor Dave Formosa said the city is seeking “voluntary compliance” and would not force the issue. Formosa added the city is also concerned it may be left to pick up the cost for the remedial action. “We take it down, they don’t pay it, now what are we going to do?” said Formosa. Formosa reiterated that he would like to see the city borrow the required funds for demolition from the BC Municipal Finance Authority and provide the landowners with a five-year loan secured with the owner’s property. The issue will be discussed at the city’s committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, October 4.

Region lifts bans All open fires are once again permitted throughout the Coastal Fire Centre’s jurisdiction, which includes the Sunshine Coast. BC Wildfire Service announced the lift effective noon on Monday, September 26. In addition to campfires and open fires, also permitted are torches, burn barrels, fireworks, sky lanterns and binary exploding targets. While cooler weather and accumulated rain made the lift possible, the province reminds all residents that local governments still have their own fire restrictions and to check with local authorities before lighting a fire of any size. Also, fires burning material more than two metres high or three metres wide; stubble or grass more than 2,000 square metres; or more than two piles of any size still require a burn registration number. For more information, call 1.888.797.1717.

Grant funds unit Fire departments around Powell River Regional District will now have a new tool in their firefighting arsenals. The regional district has acquired a wildfire emergency preparedness structure protection unit through a $40,000 grant from Powell River Community Forest. The unit, which is housed inside a trailer, includes specialized equipment for fighting the spread of urban interface wildfires, including several types of sprinklers designed to protect homes and other out-buildings on residents’ properties. The unit was one of several recommendations in the 2015 Regional Community Wildfire Protection Plan and will be deployed throughout the region where ever it is needed. Training for the unit is set to begin immediately.

Demolition time has come for the dilapidated Inn at Westview building, according to some City of Powell River councillors, but the property manager is still hopeful the building can be salvaged and repurposed. Councillor Rob Southcott said that while he appreciates the need for prudence, the community is becoming restless for the issue to be resolved. “At some point, it is simply time to act and a lot of us feel like we are close to that point as far as the Inn goes,” said Southcott. However, property manager Jack Barr said he still has hope that parts of the building can be saved and repurposed. With Powell River’s low rental vacancy rate, estimated at less than one per cent, and other issues with the availability of social housing, Barr said he has been in conversation with BC Housing about an option to convert old hotel rooms into apartments. He also said the property owner wants to hold onto the property as a long-term asset and has no interest in selling in the near future. “If there is a way to save the building, that would be great,” said Barr. “There are a multitude of ideas to explore. Unfortunately, sometimes development options are glacially slow.” Southcott said he appreciates the need for delay when making decisions, but after a while “delay ceases to be a viable option.” The time has passed to de-

After a majority of residents said they were opposed, Powell River Regional District’s board voted to decline an offer to acquire another property on Texada Island. Earlier this year First Credit Union offered to gift its former Van Anda branch building, currently used by the community non-profit Texada Arts, Culture and Tourism (TACT) Society, for $1. In July, the board directed staff to conduct public engagement to see whether residents supported increasing taxes to cover the added costs. Regional district staff organized a public informa-

tion meeting on Wednesday, September 7, and also created a survey, open from September 6 to 19. The survey asked residents to choose whether they supported the regional district taking the building on and how they would want to pay for its upkeep; 112 surveys were completed. “We completed a written survey, which clearly indicated the majority of the people who responded did not want the regional district to take over the building with its incumbent building costs and therefore taxes,” said board chair and Electoral Area A director Patrick Brabazon

at the meeting on Thursday, September 22. “Director [Sandy] McCormick consulted and listened to the people and came up with the same conclusion.” Brabazon said the regional district followed its public consultation policy in arriving at the decision. “We want the broadest possible consultation in a reasonable time frame and the regional district did that,” he added. McCormick, Electoral Area D’s director, told the board she was in favour of the regional district acquiring the building, but said she respects the wishes of the majority of islanders who participated in the survey. “The bottom line is that the majority of people do not want us to acquire the building,” said McCormick. According to regional district chief administrative officer Al Radke, island residents did not want to see a tax increase. “A vast majority of respondents do not have an appetite for increasing taxes,” said Radke.

While the cost to accept the building was low, the overall financial impact for island taxpayers would be close to $11,000 in added costs, in addition to more than 20 other properties and facilities that taxpayers fund and maintain on Texada. Accepting the building would have added another $5.40 per $100,000 of assessed value. According to the survey results, not only did residents indicate they did not want their taxes raised, a majority were also against seeing other services decline or suffer in exchange for funding the building, said Radke. “The message the general public has sent is that they support tangible asset management and sustainability,” he added. For the last few years, First Credit Union’s building in Van Anda has been used by TACT as a public venue. The building has been used for a variety of purposes, including as an art gallery and a community gathering space for workshops, concerts and meetings.

REGIONAL BOARD BRIEFS Endorses fire-assistance agreement Powell River Regional District directors voted to endorse a regional fire department emergency service agreement at the board’s meeting on Thursday, September 22. Once signed by representatives from Powell River Regional District, City of Powell River, Tla’amin Nation and Gillies Bay and Van Anda improvement districts, the agreement will provide an overarching framework for fire departments in each jurisdiction to request and provide help to neighbouring departments. The regional agreement will also replace a number of single, mutual-aid agreements the departments have held over the past 25 years and has provisions for the recovery of costs from the assisting department, according to agreed to rates, if fire service assistance is required.

Progress stalls on Padgett Road bike path Work has ground to a halt on construction of bike paths on Padgett Road after the provincial government did not receive an application for phase-four funding earlier this year, Electoral Area B alternate director Al Rebane told the regional district board on Thursday, September 22. According to Rebane, the reason was due to the transportation ministry not receiving the $157,500 application. Rebane said the ministry’s manager in Powell River, who resigned near the time the applica-

tion was due, “dropped the ball.” The board agreed it would bring the issue up with BC transportation minister Todd Stone during the Union of BC Municipalities conference being held in Victoria this week and request a two-year funding commitment from the government in order to complete the project.

Applies for disaster program Powell River Regional District board directors agreed with a committee of the whole recommendation to endorse an application to Emergency Management BC for the National Disaster Mitigation Program. The program would fund a comprehensive regional risk assessment that would identify flood hazards, potential impacts and outline community and infrastructure vulnerabilities. The assessment would also address the issue of predicted sea rise due to climate change and storm surges.

Plans for wider discussion Powell River Regional District’s board has decided, similar to City of Powell River council’s resolution, to bring the recent Tapping the Groundswell community social action planning report to an upcoming meeting with Tla’amin Nation and City of Powell River for discussion. The lead recommendation of the report calls for the creation of a regional social action committee comprised of representatives from the regional district, Tla’amin and the city.

Sign raises speeding awareness

A new city-owned radar speed sign and a group of dedicated volunteers will be helping Powell River motorists slow down. With the purchase of the $10,000 radar speed sign, Powell River’s community speed-watch program will step up its presence in the area’s 10 school and playground zones. “We switched to this new equipment so we’re working to get the program

as readily as the old equipment,” said Samograd. RCMP sergeant Kevin Day said the sign will help improve driver awareness in the community. “Sometimes the public doesn’t keep up on motorist issues in the community, so it allows people to know where certain areas may be a problem,” said Day. The sign will be monitored by police and volunteers while set up and Chard said volunteers will be instructed to take down the licence plates of those who are speeding, so drivers can be sent warning letters in some cases. In addition to school and playgrounds, motorists can expect to see the sign in areas where police have received complaints of excessive speeding, said Day.

EDUCATION PIECE: Powell River RCMP constable Kerri Chard and community policing volunteer Tim Samograd will roll out City of Powell River’s newest radar speed sign with hopes that drivers slow down. CHRIS BOLSTER PHOTO

“It is a priority of the Powell River RCMP to conduct traffic enforcement,” said Day. “It’s part of our annual performance plan and we make every effort to make sure it’s covered off in the community.” Day said in order to identify roads that require more attention, he encourages the public to contact police with speeding complaints. Anyone interested in volunteering with the speedwatch program is asked to contact the local RCMP detachment.

BC approves one of seven licences CHRIS BOLSTER reporter@prpeak.com

Only one of seven proposed Toba Valley run-of-the-river projects will move into the investigations stage after the BC government recently approved its licence. Between November 2015 and March 2016, Powell River Regional District received seven applications from engineering companies wishing to investigate potential hydroelectric projects in the Toba Valley. The province has now approved a

licence for Vancouver-based Sigma Engineering’s five-year investigation of a project approximately 700 hectares in size near the Klite River in Upper Toba. Powell River Regional District planner Julia Dykstra said three of the seven Toba waterpower investigative phase applications had been rejected in June, while the status of three others is not yet known. Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations spokesperson Greig Bethel said applications were rejected because the area in the vicinity of Filer Creek, Upper Powell River and Headwall Creek has been identified as an area of “extremely high habitat value for mountain goats, grizzly bear and marbled murrelet.” The proposed activities do not support the wildlife-management objec-

tives set out by the ministry at this time, he said. The government’s decision has pleased some people worried about the impact of the total number of proposed projects on the south coast. “I’m so glad the province has said no,” said Powell River environmental activist Trish Cocksedge. “These projects are really just a gamble. We know we don’t make any money on this because of the way power is traded.” Cocksedge said she is still concerned about what she sees as a lack of transparency with who is behind developing these projects. “We don’t know who is behind these,” she said. “If it was a small community wanting a run-of-the-river project to reduce their hydro bills, that could work, but not the way the provincial government is doing it.”

OPINION »

Published every Wednesday 4400 Marine Avenue, Powell River, BC V8A 2K1

Gender support A recent change to BC’s Human Rights Code to include protection for “gender identity or expression” will be adopted by school districts across the province for their codes of conduct. School District 47 already had language in their code that included gender under a long list of things students shall not discriminate against others for. This is encouraging. In fact, Brooks Secondary School has a Gay Straight Transgender Alliance Club that has operated at the school, off and on, since 2009. In 2012, the group lobbied the school district to strengthen their anti-transgender and anti-homophobia policies. The school board decided against changes at that time, but began a “policy review.” Now that the BC code has been changed, the school district has underlined the words “gender identity or expression” in their code of conduct to add emphasis. While this emphasis is important, how can the school district actually support students who are facing discrimination, having gender identity questions or already beginning their transitions? Schools need tangible ways to help students, and that involves education, resources and staff who are Schools need tangible ways to trained to give the right anhelp students, and that involves swers. They education, resources and staff who can then steer are trained to give the right answers. questioning youth toward counsellors who specialize in gender issues. From there, youth can have access to professionals who can help them make the best decisions. Gender-neutral bathrooms are an example of a flagship initiative for transgender advocacy. Important as they are for students who are still questioning, they are just an example of inclusiveness. Students who identify male, female, both or neither need to feel safe in whatever washroom they choose to use, especially since our school district is not planning on providing gender-neutral washrooms. “Every time there’s a transgender rights bill, the press call it the bathroom bill, and that is an important part of people’s lives, but there is so much more than bathrooms,” said Marie Little, a board member of Vancouver’s Trans Alliance Society, a group who’s mandate is to embrace gender diversity. Little points to a case in Vancouver where a trans boy experienced discrimination because he wanted to play hockey on a boys team. The boy cited Vancouver School District’s anti-homophobia and diversity mentor, as well as support groups, as making a huge difference in his transition. These are the type of resources the youth of Powell River need. Gay Straight Transgender Alliance Club is planning to resume this year, but they will require support and action from the school district. Jason Schreurs, publisher/editor

considerations that place personal, political and party survival at the fore. We know affordable housing has become a crisis throughout much of BC in recent years, and it is certainly a crisis in Powell River. We know the crisis is driven, in large part, by a series of federal and provincial governments of the last decadeplus that have largely abandoned investing in housing for low-income Canadians. We know those same governments have cut spending on vital social services for those of us who struggle daily for the dignity we all deserve, and we know the terrible costs of these kinds of deliberate political decisions. We see them in the visible signs »7

LETTERS » Cruel crisis Powell River has always been considered a compassionate town. I acknowledge that many people are concerned and doing what they can for individuals and families who are facing homelessness [“Housing forum reveals crisis,” September 21]. However, I often run into an attitude of denial and

disdain. People seem oblivious to the truth that with present government housing policies, any one of us could become homeless. In fact, most people accept a depth of poverty that is extraordinary and cruel as ordinary. Historically, our town has tried to hide and ignore the fact that there is any poverty here. Poor people are shamed into be-

lieving it is their fault. I’m proud of our community for welcoming and housing Syrian families. The way people gathered together and made it all possible was and is inspiring. But what about the homeless here? Martyn Woolley of the Community Resource Centre noted in the housing forum that many of his clients grew up in Powell

River or in surrounding areas. These are our children, schoolmates and neighbours. How can we stand by and ignore this housing crisis? I do not know why it would take so long (years?) to create a shelter, especially since there are empty buildings that could be used for a temporary shelter. I hope the “standing com-

mittee under a regional housing authority,” recommended by Powell River Employment Pro g ram Society, has at least one homeless representative on the team. One thing I do know is that people of Powell River are capable of making “homes first” a reality. We created Kathaumixw and PRISMA. We fought Island Timberlands. We’ve

accomplished the impossible, over and over again. We have everything we need to nip this hogweed housing crisis in the bud. We just need the awareness, desire and determination to do it. In the meantime, couldn’t we have a few more public bathrooms in parks around town? Carla Mobley Poplar Street

Letters to the Editor/Viewpoint

What is your favourite part about living in Powell River?

FRANK OLDALE Marine Avenue All of our outdoor activities; the lakes, the ocean, getting out and mountain biking, kayaking and all of the fun stuff that comes with living in Powell River.

EVE STOCKER Lois Street The quiet, seaside location. But it’s a close second for the tight community, specifically the arts community.

CHERYL MINIATO Terrace Street It’s the smallness of the place, and it’s a very welcoming community.

KEVAN ROBITAILLE AND ANNA COTTIER Laburnum Avenue Robitaille: The local rock climbing and the cost of living. Cottier: And the happy, relaxed people.

BRADEN MACLEOD Manitoba Avenue The proximity to all of the awesome outdoor activities. We went canoeing this summer, were gone for three hours and didn’t see a soul, and we were only 45 minutes out of town.

SCHOOL BOARD BRIEFS Enrolment could rise

Jackie Sing has been looking after Powell River’s radiator needs for over 40 years.

For the first time in 17 years, School District 47 superintendent Jay Yule said student enrolment might be up for the start of the 2016/17 school year. According to Yule, the final tally will be very close. “In the elementar y schools, overall we’re up students,” said Yule. “What is exciting for the end of the month is we’re actually growing.” In September 2015, enrolment in the six district elementary schools was 982. As of August 31 of this year, projected enrolment for the start of the school year was 1018, an increase of 36 students. According to Yule, an accurate enrolment from Brooks Secondary School is not possible yet because students are still finalizing their course loads and determining if they will be full-time equivalents (FTEs). “We’ll have that by the end of the month,” said Yule. “FTEs are used by the BC Ministry of Education to measure student enrolment.” A student taking a fulltime course load counts as one FTE, while a student taking a part-time course load counts as less than one FTE.

Summer facilities upgrades School District 47 secretary treasurer Steve Hopkins

gave an overview of summer work in the 2016 facilities report that the district’s board of trustees endorsed in the spring. Most projects undertaken were completed on time and none were significantly outside the scope of what was budgeted, said Hopkins. At Brooks Secondar y School, 85 per cent of the roof has been completed and is expected to be finished by the end of September. The work was funded primarily through a BC Ministry of Education grant. Hopkins said Kelly Creek Community School’s ongoing work is approximately 75 per cent complete. According to Hopkins, it is worth noting that some of the items listed as possibilities have all been committed to over and above the original scope of work, which included new windows, doors and siding. “We painted all of the outbuildings, we beefed up, structurally, the play area and moved the water tanks to the back and side of the school,” said Hopkins. He said work has not yet started but the district is committed to the expansion of the Kelly Creek gym to accommodate a stage at the gym level. “It’s not a complete expansion of the gym, but it does provide a stage and performance area,” said Hopkins. “It may house a bouldering wall for their outdoor program and will create a covered storage area for bikes and kayaks.”

New curriculum order School District 47 board of trustees accepted the first reading of a new order that will provide teachers with autonomy and flexibility in reporting and assessing students for the redesigned curriculum. According to superintendent of schools Jay Yule, the new policy will allow teachers to do something other than the standard reporting. “We’re happy that teachers are taking the lead to create some assessment and reporting measures they think will by useful for parents and reflect the new, re-designed curriculum,” said Yule. Teachers have two choices for reporting on student progress: follow the revised Ministry of Education reporting policy or provide a reporting plan to the board for approval prior to the first reporting period. Parents of students must be provided with a minimum of five reports throughout the school year. “We want to give teachers an opportunity to have a template that the teachers will use, that the district will work with teachers on,” said Yule. “Teachers will then have a choice to use our template or they can apply to be able to do something different.” According to Yule, Westview, Kelly Creek and James Thomson elementary schools are looking at electronic reporting.

Library cookbook inspires foodies Fundraising project will include recipes and history

As a long-term fundraising plan for City of Powell River’s new public library, recipes are being collected for a cookbook and historical narrative of food in the region. “We were inspired by the Nelson Public Library, which now has two cookbooks,” said cookbook editor Megan Cole. According to Powell River Public Library board of trustees vice chair Charlotte Gill, City of Nelson’s library has raised about $50,000 from only one of their cookbooks “and it’s still making money.” Recipes for Powell River’s cookbook will come from professionals, chefs, restaurateurs, farmers and gardeners in the area. Simplicity is emphasized and recipes will be edited for readability and standardization across the entire cookbook, which has a working title of Water and Wood: The Story of Powell River Told through Food, said Gill. “The contributors know food,” said Gill. She said local chefs and restauranteurs have been invited to submit recipes they would cook for their families that can

be made from simple, local ingredients. “Everyone has totally risen to the occasion,” she said. “They love the idea and totally get that it has to be something anybody can make.” Recipes are only part of the cookbook, according to Gill. The other aspect features interludes in the story, beginning with first nations history and how they prepared, gathered and ate food. One first nations food item, called eulachon, or candlefish, discovered during the book’s research was similar to olive oil, said Gill, and was traded by many coastal peoples. “There is tradition that it can be burned like oil,” she said. “There are stories that it could almost be lit like a wick. It was a very highly prized staple food.” Gill said the story of food will bring readers up to the present and include food of various millworkers who came from all over the world; how they gardened it, cooked it and ate it. “It’s an agricultural history through food,” said Cole. “There are traditions of Italians, Hungarians and Scandinavians in Lund, and Chinese, including respected business pioneer Sam Sing, who was the first merchant and owned many properties in Townsite.” A cocktail section will also be included and, according to Cole, feature the classic cocktails of Rodmay Hotel’s

Rainbow Room. “I wanted to have a cocktail section, but I didn’t know how it would fit in,” she said. “I wanted the history component because I didn’t want it to be just, ‘I want cocktails because I like cocktails.’ I wanted it to have that connection.” Cole said she found connections to the past through various stories, such as there being a large whiskey still on Texada Island. “It was one of the biggest on the coast during the prohibition era,” she said. Cole said she has also heard about Italian grappa distilled in Wildwood. “We have a boozy culture in Powell River,” she said. “Powell River is a living library of foodie history.” Local writers Sonia Zagwyn, Nola Poirier and Angie Davie, along with Cole and Gill, have volunteered to be responsible for the content. None have written a cookbook before but all, according to Gill, love them. Nathan Jantz and Jennifer Dodd will contribute photographs and Ryan Thompson will take care of graphic layout and design. According to Gill, the team is in the nascent stage of a long-term project that will, hopefully, be out by Christmas 2017. “We are ultimately raising money for the new library,” said Gill. “One hundred per cent of sales will go to the new library capital campaign.”

New gathering a place for stitching clothes and social conscience DAVE BRINDLE community@prpeak.com

Another maker space is creating an intersection in Powell River, connecting ideas, ingenuity and ideology by making and mending things. Fibre Space is now open at Oceanview Education Centre to support the growing interest in local fibre and fashion, according to coordinator Wendy Drummond. Potential continuing education workshops and courses in the future could go beyond what the space will offer, she said. “The intent is not only for people who are doing, but for people who would like to be doing, including young people,” said Drummond. “Hopefully there is outreach to the school district.” The space is a community initiative partnered by Vancouver Island University, Powell River, and School District 47. “The partnership will hopefully provide new opportunities for our students to be exposed to fibre art, hands-on activities and unique learning experiences in the community, which embraces the new redesigned curriculum,” said school superintendent

Jay Yule. Maker spaces also include an element of activism, said Drummond. “Fibre Space is all about people who have an interest in textile and fibre,” she said. “Today it might be about knitting, and earlier it was about spinning. Last week it was all about sewing, stitching, up-cycling and mending.” Fibre Space is a social circle, she added, as well as a sewing circle, and is a response to “the true cost of the impact of our consumerism, or how we buy and use our clothing so everything is disposable.” The idea grew out of The True Cost, a documentary first shown in Powell River in January. The film reveals the fast-fashion industry standards of bringing the latest fads, crazes and trends to market as cheaply and quickly as possible. Fibre Space resulted from people seeing the film and the discussions that followed, she added. “We were hearing people say, ‘I will never shop the way I have again, but how do I do it differently?’” said Drummond about reactions to the film. People also asked how they could keep their clothes lasting longer and where to learn how to sew, she said. “That’s where fibre space came into being,” said Drummond. According to people attending the weekly event, Fibre Space is more than sewing a button, it’s about

the relationship with clothing. “It’s so wide open that anybody can bring whatever they’re excited about and share it,” said attendee Elaine Mackee. “You bring in a project you don’t know what to do with and there will be 11 bright ideas for it. I brought it in a dress that had 50 to 90 moth holes; Wendy suggested I felt it. Now there is one moth hole and it’s beautiful.” Drummond said relationships with clothing and textiles has dramatically changed since a time when everything was hard to come by. “If you had to weave that cloth you’re wearing you’ll probably have a much different relationship with your clothing than we do today.” she said. “We walk in, spend five bucks on a t-shirt, wear it, wash it once and decide we don’t like it anymore, so it gets thrown out or goes to the Salvation Army.” Fibre Space participantDoe Fraser, raised on the Texada Island in a large family, said she connects the practicality of what she is doing with the past. “We used to all go out together, spring and fall, and bring our clothes; for me that was shopping,” said Fraser. “I had 45 cousins and you all switched clothes around. This is reminiscent of of that. I was always knitting and stitching, whether it was embroidering or crocheting, and we were doing things that were traditional in my family.”

Schools to enforce BC rights code Document emphasizes protection for gender identity, adds cyberbullying DAVE BRINDLE community@prpeak.com

On July 25, the BC Human Rights Code was amended to include explicit protection based on gender identity. It is a requirement of the School Act to reflect changes in the provincial human rights code and, according to School District 47 superintendent Jay Yule, the region’s school conduct codes already met the new gender identity prohibition. The only change was to underline the provision for emphasis in the district code. According to Yule, who spoke about the issue at a board of trustees meeting on Tuesday, September 20, the Ministry of Education has given school districts until December to change codes of conduct to include gender identity. School District 47’s new district

code now reads: “Students shall not discriminate against others on the basis of race, colour, ancestry, place of origin, religion, marital status, family status, physical or mental disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or age of that person.” The reference to the prohibited grounds of discrimination also states: “nor shall a student publish or display anything that would indicate an intention to discriminate against another, or expose them to contempt or ridicule, on the basis of any such grounds.” The board has instructed each school in the region to also include clauses that prohibit “bullying, cyberbullying, harassment, intimidation, threatening or violent behaviours.” Cyberbullying was not previously distinguished in the code. “The important part for us is that principals really take some time to ensure parents, students, staff and the public are aware of the changes in our code of conduct and the expectations at school,” said Yule. According to Brooks Secondary School principal Jamie Burt, the code of conduct is used daily to help staff provide and maintain a safe, caring and orderly environ-

ment for students to learn. “We do have to take disciplinary action from time to time as a result of students violating the code of conduct in one form or another,” said Burt. Roughly 800 students are enrolled at Brooks and Burt said they all develop intellectually, socially and emotionally at various rates and the code recognizes the exceptions the school has for its students. “Whenever assigning consequences we do our best to be thoughtful, consistent and fair,” he said. “We also try and teach acceptable social behaviour whenever possible and not solely punitive.” On the issue of bullying and cyberbullying, Burt said Brooks has seen an increase in the number of cyber incidents. “That being said, I believe we have become a lot more proactive in working with our students and their parents around the issues of cyberbullying,” said Burt. “Over the past two years students and parents are a lot more equipped to know the steps to take if they have been involved in a cyber incident.” Normally, the school district distributes codes of conduct to parents, students and staff early

in the school year, but Yule said he was asking the board to change the code now rather than halfway through the school year. “It’s really important to get it up right away,” said Yule. At every board meeting, Yule reports on student suspensions as result of code violations. Discipline attached to suspensions ranges

from 10 days to indefinite suspension for non-violent or violent acts, and 20 days for drug and alcohol offences. Violent incidents include verbal, which are also considered violent if threatening. In June, there were 50 violent and non-violent episodes in the school district.

Artist challenges audiences New exhibit highlights another departure for local painter DAVE BRINDLE community@prpeak.com

When her new show Cloud Hands opens on Thursday, September 29, at Space Gallery, Powell River painter Meghan Hildebrand will once again break away in a new direction. “In the creation of Cloud Hands, I allowed myself to be pulled in different directions, exploring a bunch of new ideas,” said Hildebrand. “When I felt limited by the paint brush, I tried new tools. I put new colours together and explored new imagery. I was rewarded with a few paintings that, for me, break new ground.” Hildebrand said she cannot guess what the work says to people, or what people will say of the work when it is all shown together. “I’ve never done anything like it, seen anything like it, and it’s wide open to experience and interpret,” she said. The show, which debuted this summer at Yukon Arts Centre in Whitehorse, is a motion exercise in

the sound of the words and images it evokes, she added. “I think of watching the clouds change shape,” said Hildebrand. “I think of gentleness, weightlessness, as well as the fingers of branches combing through fog, which we see here on the coast.” Hildebrand said the new show is from a different point of view compared to her earlier works. “In previous paintings, I often presented a birds-eye view,” she said. “In this series, I was curious about looking up to mountains, up to the sky.” According to Michael Warren, owner of Victoria-based Madrona Gallery, which has been representing Hildebrand since 2010, major collectors are paying attention to her work. “She’s with some of the top galleries in the country,” said Warren. “If you look at [Winnipeg’s] Mayberry Fine Art, they are a big player in the Canadian art market, if not one of the biggest. To be introduced to their stable right off the bat as young as she was is a huge thing as an artist in this country.” It was through Mayberry, Warren said, that a Canadian financial institution purchased a number of large-scale Hildebrand pieces. Victoria-based Madrona has also sold her work to private collections all over the globe, including

Switzerland, England, and two major collectors in Dubai. “It’s something we’re really excited to see, that major collectors are starting to latch on to what she’s doing,” said Warren. According to Warren, collectors are taking notice of Hildebrand because she is courageous and not

only different, but very accessible. She paints with a hybrid of styles, he said, that makes people jump out of their comfort zone and explore the ideas she’s presenting in her work. “Meghan is strong enough to take that risk and change her work each year and develop new ideas,”

said Warren. “Artists can get held down in figuring out what works and sticking with it, whereas with Meghan, she’s constantly re-evaluating what she’s doing and challenging herself with new ideas and new motifs. There’s always that consistent voice, as there is in any great artist’s work.”

Musician relishes live performance DAVE BRINDLE community@prpeah.com

Cameron Twyford is well known around Powell River for performing as Little Pharmer, and while he plans to continue his solo act, focusing more on a band that includes the same name is also on the agenda. Little Pharmer and the Ditch Prescription includes Twyford (vocals/guitar), Tom Dowding (bass) and Kyle Araki (drums).

TAKE A PEAK: Cameron Twyford

How do you describe the genre of music you play? Tricky question. I do tend to use “farm rock” as a pretty apt description. There are definitely elements of punk rock, hip-hop and jazz in there. I never tried to be any particular one of those genres, but just followed what felt fun and served the song. It changes all the

time. A song will feel heavy metal one night and the other night could be totally hip-hop. Is that why you love to perform live, because the song changes from night to night? Totally. Performing is an opportunity for the songs to live and, therefore, evolve. Something will happen to a song performed live that will stick with it forever, like a little accident. It’s like, ‘Wow, that was just perfect,’ and it always needs to be there now. How do you explain the theatricality in your live shows? There are definitely characters who do come out in the songs a little bit. Not necessarily well-defined characters with this motivation or that motivation, but I find,

even in introducing certain songs, this strange narrative comes out that is part of that song’s character. Little Pharmer has its own theatrical agenda, but it is not necessarily mine. What is it about performing live? I live for it. There is some kind of opening of the valve. When we play live, especially with the band, something just gets opened up and it just kind of flows through and is a wonderful experience. It’s invigorating and totally drains me and fills me up at the same time. The studio is fun, but for me music is about interacting with other people, whether it’s the musicians or the audience; it’s really an exchange of energy.

Kings head coach Kent Lewis said the four points available in the two games played counted more for his team than impressing scouts. “Our guys were mature about it,” said Lewis. “It’s ongoing throughout the year.” Scouts from the NHL, universities and other junior leagues are continuously looking for talent, but that attention does not stop when the showcase ends, said Lewis. “These kids have to understand that every game you have to go out and make an impression; you can’t be a sometimes player.

level they have to learn consistency and be good all the time.” In their showcase opener, Powell River handed Wenatchee Wild its first loss of the season with a 5-4 overtime win. Kyle Betts scored the winning goal, unassisted, 3:14 into the extra period. Goaltender Brian Wilson was peppered with 50 shots compared to 24 sent his counterpart’s way.

“He played very well and, at key times, made some key stops,” said Lewis. “Shots came from everywhere. I don’t think defensively we had our best game. They had a lot of speed, but I liked the chances we generated and a lot of the chances they generated were off some defensive-zone miscues.” Mitch Adamyk backstopped the Kings to victory in their second game of the

showcase, a 5-2 win over Trail Smoke Eaters. After a scoreless opening period, Kings scored three unanswered goals in the second, but let up early in the third while killing a penalty. “We let up in front of our net,” said Lewis, “and allowed them to get a really strange, sloppy second goal. I liked our response to a bad start in the third period.”

Villa falls short in home opener Key player suffers injury in fast-paced game DAVE BRINDLE community@prpeak.com

SO CLOSE: Late in the second half, a Brandon Knox [left] goal, which would have tied Powell River Villa’s game against Victoria Vantreights at one, was disallowed due to an offside call. Villa lost its home opener 1-0. DAVE BRINDLE PHOTO

Not only did Powell River Villa soccer club lose its home opener 1-0 to Victoria Vantreights, coach Mario Paul said midfielder Kurtis Dennison suffered a broken rib due to a tackle late in the first half of the game on Sunday, September 25. “The kid is a warrior,” said Paul. “He refused to come out, even though he knew he was injured.” According to Paul, the injury will change Villa’s dynamic for at least the next couple of weeks and will cause the coach to reshape his lineup to fill Dennison’s position. Paul said the game was physical and fast-paced. “They caught us off guard with a quicker attack than we anticipated,” he said. “It put us back on our heels, but we recovered and regained control. With the exception of the goal they scored, I thought we were

in control for the majority of the game.” Vantreights scored early but, despite repeated chances, Villa was not able to equalize. “We had a great deal of chances in the second half, especially,” said Paul. Villa came close to tying the score late in the second half. Brandon Knox put the ball into the back of the net, but officials called the play offside. Paul said he agreed with the decision but said Knox “wasn’t offside by much.”

Heather De Groot November 22, 1945 September 25, 2016

Heather passed away suddenly with her family beside her. She leaves to mourn her husband Bill, sons James (Crystal), Joe (Melinda) and Dan (Petra), grandchildren Ashlyn, Britney (Gary), Catherine, Darien and Samantha, great-grandchildren Brooklyn and Urijah and brother Ron (Margo). Heather and Bill were married in Powell River and spent their lives here. She loved all the birds she looked after; there are many varieties that visit her feeding and water site. Squirrels were also welcome and there was a constant watch for eagles; we had two eaglets this year, and much activity on or under the water. Heather always struggled in life, but now will rest in peace. Thank you to Dr. DuToit and also the professional and caring staff in Powell River General Hospital, you always treated Heather with dignity and respect. A service will be held at 11 am on Monday, October 3, at Church of the Assumption with a reception to follow.

Carol Maye Tipton May 21, 1954 September 19, 2016 Carol was welcomed into the world in Enderby, BC, the daughter of Grace and Edgar Tipton. She passed away peacefully in a loving group home in Powell River at age 62 with her family around her. In 1954, children born with Down Syndrome generally lived their lives in an institution, however, Carol was brought home to live with her family. Grace and Edgar could not imagine letting go of their special little girl and never regretted that decision for a minute. Carol brought love and joy to all who knew her. She was the youngest of five siblings and was predeceased by her parents and her eldest brother Nelson Tipton. Left to remember her with great love are her brother Brian Tipton and sisters Coranne Anderson and Lilla Tipton, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Special thanks to the staff at Crofton House, Joke Polman Tuin (sister-in-law), Dawn Scheves (niece) and Eileen Brown (exsister-in-law) for all the love and attention you gave to Carol in her final years. Friends are invited to the Jean Pike Centre for Inclusion, 7055 Alberni Street, in the ARC Theatre at 11 am on Saturday, October 1, to help Carol’s family celebrate her life. We will share some memories and remember Carol, followed by a party with lots of food and music. Carol loved a party. Take note that singing and dancing will take place. We will dance with Carol to the end of love. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to inclusion Powell River Society at 201-4675 Marine Avenue, Powell River, BC, V8A 2L2.

Johanna Maria (Reytenback) van Dok The van Dok family is saddened to announce the passing of our beloved mom, Johanna, on Monday, September 19, 2016. We would like to thank Dr. McDonald and all the wonderful nurses who took such great care of Mom. A celebration of life will be held at Cranberry Seniors’ Centre on Sunday, October 2, from 12-4 pm.

HEWITT, Anthony Roy August 21, 1925 - September 14, 2016 Roy Hewitt passed away peacefully in Powell River on the evening of September 14, 2016, after a brief illness. He is survived by his two remaining children, Lawrence and Alison (Mark). Roy was born in Southport, Lancashire in August 1925, where he spent his childhood and school years. He was an avid athlete, becoming captain of both the first nine and the first eleven during his later school years. (You can just look that up). At the age of 16, he met Doreen Redmond, a dynamic, high-spirited girl, and while war and a term in the Royal Navy patrolling the Adriatic Sea intervened, she remained the love of his life until the day he died. They married in Roby, near Liverpool, in 1948. Two boys, David and Lawrence, were born in Lancashire during the time Roy worked as a bobby with the Lancashire Constabulary. With the advent of the Suez crisis in 1956, they decided to emigrate to Canada, and came directly to Powell River in 1957. Alison was born in the Powell River General Hospital the following year. Roy worked as an electrician with MacMillan Bloedel for the remainder of his working life. He was active in those early years with the Boy Scouts and as a parent with the Highland Laddies Pipe Band. He loved to go out dancing with Doreen, and they spent many an evening at Hitching Post square dances, dances at the Legion or Dwight Hall or taking ballroom dance classes. After retiring, Roy loved to go fishing and hiking in the bush, and with a couple of buddies, he rounded up a few other retired guys to help build a trail and a small footbridge. So the BOMB Squad (Bloody Old Mens’ Brigade) was born. Roy reaped the benefits of fresh air and exercise and enjoyed the camaraderie as the group grew. Shep, Roy’s devoted border collie, was a constant companion on those outings. Many others still enjoy the activity of the BOMB Squad as it continues to thrive. Roy and Doreen traveled extensively in their retirement, with many trips to the UK with friends, to New Zealand to see relatives, and of course to Hawaii, which they loved. In the seven years since Doreen passed away, Roy has lived quietly at home with the Cat, not able to get about as briskly as before, but with a life full of memories; a life well-lived. We would like to thank the many friends and helping hands who have taken care of Roy over the last while, particularly the staff of Community Health, who helped Roy stay in his home, Dr. Rossouw and staff, whose compassion and concern were a constant reassurance, and the staff of PRGH and Evergreen, who looked after him at the end. A simple gathering for friends will be held at Stubberfield’s on Thursday, September 29 at 3:00 PM.

Daniel Douglas Emmonds January 29, 1953 – September 14, 2016

It is with tremendous sadness that we announce the passing of our Dan. After a long battle with prostate cancer, he left us too soon, in the early hours of Wednesday, September 14. He was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. We mourn his passing with heavy hearts. Dan loved to be outside, whether he was boating, fishing, hunting, picking mushrooms, picking brush and, of course, camping. Texada Island was a favourite spot for him and he would often go there to enjoy outdoor activities. But more than anything, Dan’s 13 grandkids were his pride and joy and the lights of his life. He loved to be around them, every chance he had. Dan is survived by his loving wife and best friend Connie, his children Michael, Shannon (Dana), Steven (Sara) and Gregory (Courtney) and his grandchildren Ombrea, Ebony, Tyler, Jarrod, Tianna, Kylie, Kevin, Alex, Mykayla, Cruze, Hendrix, Madelyn and Taryn. Another grandchild is due to be born this December. Dan absolutely loved and was passionate about his job as a prawn fisherman. He shared that experience with his brother Ted, who also survives him. Dan also leaves behind his sisters Elaine, Lorraine and Arlene, as well as many cousins, nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his mother Norma Emmonds in 2012 and his father Leonard Emmonds in 2008. We would like to extend our gratitude to our doctor, Danielle Marentette, for her wonderful care of Dan, to the home-care nurses for their many cheerful visits and to the kind nurses on the fourth floor. There will be no traditional funeral, as was Dan’s wish. In lieu of flowers, donations to Prostate Cancer Canada would be appreciated.

Our daughterin-law Sara said it best in her Facebook post from last week. There is a home full of sadness and heartache, a sense of emptiness as we look at the chair you once sat in. But amongst all this pain, there is a home full of love and strength. There are tears and there is laughter, there are grandchildren playing and babies giggling, there are old memories being told and new ones being made. We are doing exactly what you wanted. Your family is together, the family you and Connie created, and we are forever grateful for the life you lived here on earth. We love you more than you know and we will speak your name often. Heaven has another great man.

Ray's parents, Robert E. Allen and Esther Thea Allen, married during World War I and were living in the Fraser Forest area when Ray was born in Abbotsford, BC. Robert (Bob) and his younger brothers Frank and Cecil were all involved in logging the Fraser Valley as young men. By the late 1920s, the Allen families, along with Ray's cousins, the Schluter family, had all decided to go "homesteading" in the Peace River Country. Ray and the Schluter boys were all raised on neighbouring homesteads during the Great Depression. One winter, when Ray was in his early teens, some neighbours they had never met crossed the frozen Cutbank River with a team of horses and sleigh. They were Jehovah’s Witnesses and Bob and Esther enjoyed their visit. Arrangements were made to return. They did, and were surprised to see all the Christmas decorations had been taken down and their farmhouse was full of “family,” 20 or so. The whole clan had come to hear what Ray's parents felt was the “truth” from the Bible. In 1940, Ray was baptized in the Cutbank River along with other family members. By 1942, his grandmother, Margaret Allen, was a baptized Witness. Ray’s parents were zealous JWs “witnessing” on horseback to Cree natives around Moberly Lake, some in primitive conditions, some in teepees. By the late 1940s, having sold their homesteads, most of the family had returned to the South Coast. Ray and his wife June (née Spangler) decided to join them, moving to Powell River in 1950 with two young children, Frances and Kenneth. By 1956, Ray was working with the crew that surveyed for the transmission lines that were strung across Jervis Inlet from Nelson Island. Shortly thereafter, he began working for Powell River Company in Townsite and bought a house located down “on Cranberry Lake” and by 1959 a second son, Michael, was born. Swimming, skating on the lake and living near all their cousins on Allen Avenue was a good life for the children. Occasionally at a house party or wedding reception, Ray would be asked to sing and play his guitar as he had a good singing voice and had sung on the radio in the late 1940s. He was even asked about "a career in Nashville?" He received "fan mail" with photos, had "groupies," and always laughed about it. Ray was an amateur astronomer and on really dark nights he would set up a telescope down by the lake and his children would learn about “Jehovah's creations,” about the constellations, stars and craters on the moon. Ray sold the family home in the late 1960s and they moved into a new subdivision in Westview where Darren, their youngest son, was born. Later, in the mid-1970s, they moved south to be near the beach at Douglas Bay. Ray was Control Room Operator in the Electrical Department at MacMillan Bloedel when he retired in the late 1980s. He was well-known in Powell River and always had a friendly, easy going way about him. Whether he was at the mill, at the Kingdom Hall, or if you met him when he called at your door as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, he had a quick smile, was easy to talk to and had a good knowledge of the Bible. Anyone who got to know Ray knew him to be a kind and gentle man. He loved his family and will be sadly missed by all of us and by all of his “old friends”. Ray's hope was to be remembered by Jehovah and resurrected into a restored paradise earth, as promised in the Bible. We all look forward to seeing him again in good health and growing younger. Meanwhile, he is peacefully “sleeping.”
