boughs as a blessing by Tla’amin elders and youth. Hundreds of Tla’amin citizens and Powell River residents were joined to celebrate the occasion by first nations leaders from around Canada and representatives of local, provincial and federal governments. “This is a big step for the Tla’amin

people in terms of building their future, for this generation and generations to come,” said John Rustad, BC minister of aboriginal relations and reconciliation. “The province is extremely proud to be a partner with the Tla’amin as we move forward building a future with them.” Federal minister of indigenous

and northern affairs Carolyn Bennett said Tla’amin’s self-government is a hope for many first nations around the country. “It is truly momentous and such an example for Canada,” said Bennett. “This aspiration for selfgovernment is really what everyone is hoping to achieve from coast to coast.”

A large crowd of supporters gathered at Tla’amin Nation’s new Government House on Klahanie Drive Saturday, April 9, to witness the unveiling of three totem poles and three welcome poles. While work is still yet to complete on Tla’amin’s legislative building, the poles were revealed as part of celebrations for the nation’s new self-governance. “It’s amazing to see these pieces completed,” said Tla’amin Nation hegus Clint Williams. The carvers were under a tight deadline to complete the project, he said. “One of the main reasons we had this vision was to make a statement as we enter into self-government,” said Williams. “The Indian Act did not define us or make us Tla’amin people, the Indian Act just made us indians.” Williams said the carvings on the poles serve as a symbolic reminder of strengthening Tla’amin identity through the rediscovering and spreading of his people’s language and culture. “This is the symbol we will take on those challenges and improve the lives of all Tla’amin people,” he said. The totems were carved from red cedar logs, gifts from Klahoose First Nation, harvested from Toba Inlet, about 100 kilometres northwest of Powell River. The poles were revealed from under white canvas coverings to the crowd’s applause at the ceremony. Six carvers worked to complete the poles in time for the opening: locals Randy Timothy, Phil Russell, Alvin Wilson, Vince Timothy, Ivan Rosypskye and Squamish’s Darren Joseph. The carvers and their totems were brushed with cedar

Bennett added that she was pleased to be able to attend the ceremony. “This really is a very exciting day,” she said. “It warms your heart to see the excitement as people get in charge of their own lives. It’s spectacular.” Sechelt’s Shishalh Nation chief Calvin Craigan was one of many first nations’ leaders to congratulate Tla’amin on its treaty and its new beginnings. “I’m very happy and it’s so encouraging to see the young ones bringing back the culture,” said Craigan. “It’s been long overdue.” Craigan added that his nation is on the cusp of completing its treaty through the BC Treaty process. Chief Austin Bear from Muskoday First Nation came from Saskatchewan for the ceremony. He said he was fortunate to participate and help Tla’amin work through establishing its land code over the past decade. “I hope this is everything you hope and want it to be,” said Bear. Tl’azt’en Nation grand chief Edward John also attended the ceremonies. The totem unveiling was one of two ceremonies that day. A community celebration in Evergreen Theatre at Powell River Recreation Complex hosted by Tla’amin actor, writer and physician Evan Tlesla Adams featured speeches, song and dance, gift exchanges and presentations that ran through the afternoon. Ministers Rustad and Bennett were also in attendance for the second ceremony. “This is an incredible tribute to our ancestors, elders and entire community,” said Williams. The theatre was at capacity to celebrate Tla’amin’s self-governance; a reception followed in the upper complex lobby. Tla’amin’s treaty came into effect one minute after midnight on Tuesday, April 5. The agreement with provincial and federal governments provides Tla’amin ownership over land and resources, lawmaking authority related to its land, culture and public services and rights relating to fishing, hunting and gathering throughout its traditional territory.

and right now we are appealing the decision,” she said. D’Angelo added VCH has received concerns and complaints from Chisholm’s coworkers since her return to the job. “Certainly, we are aware that the staff has been upset about this,” said D’Angelo. BC health minister Terry Lake, whose portfolio includes the province’s health authorities and organizations that deliver health services, including VCH, declined to comment on the matter. Powell River-Sunshine Coast MLA Nicholas Simons said the VCH privacy breach is unfortunate to everyone involved and he does not understand why the minister would not issue a comment. “If the minister is satisfied the system we have is adequate, then he should say so in order to reassure the public that people’s private information isn’t being inappropriately accessed,” said Simons. “If he believes the system isn’t sufficient, then what is he going to do about it?”

A Sechelt-based bus company has received approval from the BC government to provide service on the Sunshine Coast, including Powell River. L a n a Z a n a z o v s k y, spokesperson for Sunshine Coast Connector, said the company has received its approval from the BC Passenger Transportation Board. “It’s quite a relief,” said Zanazovsky. “It wasn’t very easy to obtain. We did everything we could to get it. We put a lot of effort into it.” Zanazovsky said having the support for the service from local governments on both sides of Jervis Inlet meant a lot and went far in securing the approval. “That was a big plus,” she said. “I know there were a few others trying to get the licence, so it feels nice that we were the ones chosen.” The company is now working on acquiring buses, developing its marketing with a website and setting fares. “We just got [approval] last week,” said Zanazovsky. “Now we’re just organizing everything.” Zanazovsky said the company is still aiming for a May 1 launch, but depending on how quickly details are worked out, it could take until midmonth for service to start. She estimated it will take a couple of weeks to have a website online and more detailed information available for the public. Sunshine Coast Connector applied for government approval on two Sunshine Coast routes this winter, daily service on the Lower Sunshine Coast between Earls Cove and Langdale ferry terminals and direct service a few days per week between Powell River and Vancouver.

D’Angelo said she would not confirm or deny that there were investigations into other breaches of conduct at PRGH or any of Powell River’s VCH-run care facilities. D’Angelo said VCH staff accessing patient records outside of their direct care

D’Angelo added that VCH has a whistleblower-protection policy for any staff member who suspects inappropriate activities. The anonymous employee said the public should be notified when an employee who breaches patient privacy returns to the job. According to D’Angelo, VCH decides when it is necessary to inform the public of an individual’s return to work after suspension for serious misconduct. This case did not meet the criteria, she said. “There was no broad risk to the public,” said D’Angelo in regards to Chisholm’s case. Chisholm was reinstated to her part-time position at Willingdon Creek Village extended-care facility, but not her casual positions at the hospital, although she can apply for those in the future. VCH is appealing the arbitrator’s decision to reinstate Chisholm, but D’Angelo said she could not discuss the appeal process. “We are bound by these legal processes we go through

A Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) employee has claimed that a recent breach of patient confidentiality by a nurse accessing private medical records in Powell River is not an isolated incident. The employee, who wished to remain anonymous for fear of losing their job, claimed their personal records were accessed by Michelle Chisholm, a Powell River licensed practical nurse who was recently reinstated to her position after being terminated. However, the anonymous employee said Chisholm is not the only VCH staff member in Powell River to have breached codes of conduct by accessing patient records. “Others have done it. I’ve seen it,” said the employee. The employee claimed they received a notification letter from VCH that their confidential medical files had been accessed in 2012. “It’s pretty scary,” said the employee. “I know people are going to see my name; they know me. People are extremely snoopy. Maybe they won’t tell anyone, maybe they will, but I don’t want to take the chance. It’s personal stuff that’s nobody’s business.” A VCH investigation that took place in 2015 found Chisholm had accessed the files of 14 patients over 11 months during 2014. In January 2015, VCH fired Chisholm, but then reinstat-

Signs have yet to be posted on a Marine Avenue storefront, but work is underway to open a constituency office in Powell River for North Island-Powell River MP Rachel Blaney. Blaney, who had been sharing an office with North Island MLA Clair Trevena, decided to continue the arrangement and officially opened the first of her two offices in Campbell River at the end of March. Her Powell River office is due to open the week of April 11. “We didn’t want people feeling like the only way they could talk to their member of parliament is to catch a ferry and drive 45 minutes,” said Blaney. “It’s been in the works, but sometimes these things take a while.” In the riding, the second largest in BC, Powell River has the largest population after Campbell River, so it made sense to open an office here, said Blaney. Efforts will be made to have regular visits to more remote and smaller communities throughout the riding as well, she said. The constituency office will be the first in Powell River in several years; former MP John Weston employed staff locally, but did not rent space. Since being elected last October, Blaney had been informally sharing Powell River-Sunshine Coast MLA Nicholas Simons’ office on Marine Avenue. “We ended up getting space not far from his,” she said. “The reality is that his space is not big enough to fit

all the staff.” Blaney explained she wanted her office to be fairly close to Simons to be of better assistance. “If constituents come in the door and they are not sure which level of government they want to talk to, and in some cases it’s both, we’re doing our best to be as close to each other as we can to make sure the services are accessible,” she said. The lease is signed for space at 4697 Marine Avenue, telephone lines have been installed and office manager John Young, who is also coordinator of local socialplanning project Tapping the Groundswell, will start work there this week. The plan is to have the office open three days a week, Wednesday to Friday, said Blaney. While the office will be open and operational, it could be some time before the community is invited for an official opening. Blaney’s constituent assistant Lucas Schuller explained that the challenge is finding time in the next few months when Blaney will be

in the riding. “The [House of Commons] schedule for the spring is pretty demanding,” said Schuller. “She’ll be in Ottawa for basically all of June and a pretty good chunk of April and May as well.” Schuller said an official opening with Blaney attending in person might not happen before summer. “But it will definitely happen,” he said. Blaney said that during the upcoming House of Commons spring session she will continue to advocate for greater social and economic equality and to keep the Canadian Coast Guard communications station in Comox open. Blaney also said a priority is taking a closer look at how the recent federal budget will impact the riding and suggesting to government how to make it work better for the people of North Island-Powell River. She said her staff are starting to compile results of her request to riding residents for their thoughts on what they think is important for Blaney to work on.

Council weighs forest grants City of Powell River to decide on over $1 million in funding for non-profits CHRIS BOLSTER reporter@prpeak.com

Po w e l l R i v e r ’s n o n profit societies will have to wait a while longer to find out the official decision on their Powell River Community Forest fund grant applications. Corien Becker, City of Powell River interim chief financial officer, provided council with a verbal report at its Thursday, March 31, finance committee meeting, detailing the status of 17 grant applications and the projects being recommended by the Powell River Community Forest board. Out of the applications filed, 13 are being recommended and four are not.

Corien Becker

“It seems a bit drawn out, but it’s just the process,” said councillor Russell Brewer, finance committee chair. Brewer said he expects a written report on the board’s recommendations to be discussed at the city’s committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, April 19, and then go to a council vote at the first meeting in May. Brewer said the city’s 2015 community forest dividend is approximately $1.3 million. The community forest board is recommending just under $900,000 of funding

for community projects in this round of grants, which are usually awarded twice per year. Brewer said the finance committee was given a verbal report because the city still has questions about some of the projects. Even though the community forest board recommends projects for the funding, Brewer said the city has the final say on which grants are awarded. The city is the sole shareholder of the forestry corporation and the dividend is paid into the city’s community forest reserve, funds only accessible through city council’s approval, said Becker. The community forest board has taken an active role in soliciting requests from the community for worthy projects, said Becker. “They put a lot of effort into reviewing the applications and working with applicants to ensure the projects are sound,” she added. Council has generally

agreed with all the work the board has done and its recommendations, she explained, but council has its own process for “due diligence and public process for open and transparent government.” “That’s why the recommendations are going forward to a committee meeting, so council can say they have looked at everything, all the recommendations, and that they agree or not,” said Becker. Of the $1,091,642 in requests, the forest board is recommending city council approve $872,918 for projects. The projects recommended are: $167,223 to Powell River Climbing Co-op for construction of an indoor rockclimbing gym. $156,200 to Family and Resident Council of Evergreen Extended Care Unit for facility renovations. $124,700 to City of Powell River planning department for development of a new

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

Day to remember Tuesday, April 5, will go down in history as the day Tla’amin Nation became self-governing again, but Saturday, April 9, will be forever ingrained in the memory of those who attended two celebration ceremonies. A morning event at Tla’amin Government House on Klahanie Drive introduced the community to six staggeringly beautiful red cedar poles, created by six different carvers, four of whom are Tla’amin people. The three welcoming poles depicting father, mother and child symbolize Tla’amin’s openness and acceptance. This has been evident in Tla’amin’s commitment to provide all of its people with the same opportunities, a point hegus Clint Williams reinforced during the divisive treaty process. Whether for or against the treaty, Williams has stressed that all Tla’amin people be treated the same. Once welcomed, three larger totem poles depict the past, present and future of the Tla’amin people. A figure on the past pole The pole-raising ceremony, watches over the grounds including a blessing of the six while Tla’amin carvers, each unveiling one of the ancestors sit poles, was a fitting culmination proudly atop the present of over 22 years dedicated to pole. the treaty implementation. The future pole was designed from sketches by students at James Thomson Elementary School and Brooks Secondary School, featuring a thunderbird preparing to take flight, as well as handprints from 10 of the students. Three faces on the future pole represent the culture, spirit and future leaders of Tla’amin. The pole-raising ceremony, including a blessing of the six carvers, each unveiling one of the poles, was a fitting culmination of over 22 years dedicated to the treaty implementation. A community celebration followed at Evergreen Theatre in Powell River Recreation Complex and featured speeches, gift exchanges and song and dance. Williams’ speech was a highlight, bringing those who packed the Evergreen to applause as he spoke of Tla’amin’s accomplishments and optimism for the future. In reference to the symbolic burning of the Indian Act at 12:01 am on treaty-implementation day, Williams delivered the line of the day, “They said disco was dead, but ‘burn baby, burn’ was on everyone’s mind that night.” Earlier that day, Williams spoke more poignant words, perfectly encapsulating what self-governance means to Tla’amin. “The Indian Act did not define us or make us Tla’amin people,” said Williams, “the Indian Act just made us indians.” Jason Schreurs, publisher/editor

VIEWPOINT

Volunteers are vital By Janice Krall National Volunteer Week, April 10 to 16, is an opportunity for the Heart and Stroke Foundation to thank all our dedicated volunteers who generously give their time to fuel life-saving research and to change the lives of people on Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, Powell River and all across the country.

Theatre troupe tells whimsical story Two strangers, Winston and Penny, meet at a bus stop where they find a radio and go off in space and time. The story of The Middle of Everywhere, a live theatre production from the unusual performance ensemble Wonderheads, begins from there. The Middle of Everywhere stars founding artistic directors Andrew Phoenix and Kate Braidwood. The play’s two characters find a radio that is actually a transporter, allowing Winston, played by Phoenix, and Penny, played by Braidwood, to go anywhere imaginable. “They can go everywhere with this device that can transform them through space and time,” said Phoenix. “There’s no limit to the audiences’ imagination; no limit to where we can go.” Wonderheads wrote the show in a cartoonish way, an approach that did not limit exploration to only adult

watch them with a young person, just as much as we’re happy to watch them with our grandparents,” said Phoenix. The members of the award-winning Portland-based company met at Dell’Arte International School of Physical Theatre, a 40-year-old arts institution in northern California. “That’s where we learned to do what we now do,” said Braidwood. “This company really mashes together all of those skills we’ve accumulated over time; the more traditional theatre skills, but also the physical theatre training and the mask making. It’s a way we found to incorporate our passions into one thing.” The troupe has created and toured with three shows in the United States and Canada to critical acclaim; Grim and Fischer, Loon and The Middle of Everywhere. It has also published the Wonderheads Book of Wonder, for children and adults, written by the company’s associate head, Emily Windler, and Lou Watson, who also contributed the original illustrations.

themes. Wonderheads recommends The Middle of Everywhere for children from age five up to adults. “It’s a really funny, adventurous romp,” said Braidwood, “but it also deals with facing and confronting fears, and gives you stuff to think about.” Wonderheads’ form of performance theatre work is quite unusual for North America, a wordless style originating in Europe called full-face mask. Examples are ancient comedy and tragedy masks that are symbols of theatre or carnival masks from festivals such as Mardi Gras. The masks can take 50 to 80 hours to create. “Large, magical masks cover our whole face and our mouths,” said Phoenix, “so we don’t speak in the show. None of the characters speak.” Phoenix explained that the story is told with all emotion and thought, and the relationship between the characters is conveyed through physicality and gesture. There is also narration, lighting, music and sound effects. How the characters relate to each other and how the audience understands them is through body movement. “We call ourselves live-action Pixar, or living cartoons.

Film details fall from grace Award-winning documentary sheds light on Steve Fonyo’s dark side DAVE BRINDLE community@prpeak.com

Steve Fonyo, who finished what Terry Fox began by running across Canada, then began a downward spiral from the heights of public adulation to the depths of despair, will not be attending the screening of Hurt: The Steve Fonyo Story in Powell River on Friday, April 15. “He is back in prison,” said Peter Gentile, producer of the award-winning documentary about a year in the life of Fonyo; not one of the good years. The night before winning the 2015 Canadian Screen Award (CSA) for best documentary film, Gentile received a text message that Fonyo had been arrested and was in jail. “He’s in jail for six weeks, so he will not be in Powell River at the screening,” said Gentile. “He had his trial on April 1; his stay in prison was extended for another six weeks for a parole violation.” Fonyo has been in the media spotlight since 1984 when, at the age of 18, he began his coast-to-coast run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. Most of his left leg was amputated when he was 12 years old because of bone cancer. “We all know about Terry

Fonyo hurts people in his life and, as filmmakers, they also found themselves hurting, emotionally and psychologically. “In a weird kind of way, we felt a bit of the pain and difficulties he had,” said Gentile. He added that after the experience of being with Fonyo for a year, Hurt was the right title for the film. “Sometimes a film tells you what the title is going to be, and it told us it was Hurt,” he said. In addition to winning the CSA, the film opened to rave reviews in 2015 at Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) where it was chosen as a platform selection. “The film is sometimes surreal,” said Gentile. “It’s poignant, it’s scary, it’s touching and it’s revolting. He doesn’t hold anything back and sometimes it’s hard to take.” Hurt: The Steve Fonyo Story will be screened Friday, April 15, at 7 pm in Evergreen Theatre at Powell River Recreation Complex, with Gentile attending.

Fox; the angel of Terry Fox,” said Gentile. “We all know what he did; died trying to make it halfway across Canada. Fonyo actually made it. He’s kind of the bad guy to Terry Fox’s good guy.” The documentary is about Fonyo’s dark side, including problems with drugs and violence. Fonyo is an extreme guy, according to Gentile, who got to know and care about the Canadian icon through the process of filming. He described Fonyo as someone on the edge, who does not know where the next meal is going to come from or where he is going to be sleeping. “The director [Alan Zweig] and I have always been attracted to anti-heroes and people on the fringes of society. Steve is now looked upon as being on the fringes,” said Gentile. The original working title for the film was No Angel. However, during the process of following Fonyo for a year, Gentile said he and Zweig found themselves dealing with an individual with a lot of scars. According to Gentile,

Ideas form future City of Powell River councillor attends federal sustainable communities conference

TA P P I N G THE GROUNDSWELL Moving Forward Together Building a Social Plan for Powell River

Attending a conference on behalf of City of Powell River is always a serious affair for Councillor CaroleAnn Leishman, especially when it is regarding environmentally sustainable initiatives. In early February, Leishman attended Federation of Canadian Municipalities’ (FCM) Sustainable Communities conference for a second year, this time in Ottawa. “As a local government elected official you get so busy with the general workings of the city, but there are communities doing really innovative stuff,” said Leishman. It is important to attend these type of conferences, she added, “to meet other representatives from other communities, to hear their ideas, to hear the success stories and the failures.” Last year, innovations by Halifax, NS, were a guiding point for the first-time councillor. Halifax led the charge in changing provincial legislation to allow municipalities to borrow from the Municipal Finance Authority at a very low interest rate, and also apply for grants through the Green Municipal Fund, providing low-interest loans to local property owners wishing to add solar hot water retrofits to their homes. Halifax later expanded the program to include solar thermal and solar photovoltaic upgrades. The low-interest loans would be paid back through property taxes. Even if the owner moved, the loan would remain with the home. With savings experienced on utility bills, the increase in property tax was often mitigated. Solar hot water might not work for Powell River, but photovoltaic solar works in our climate most of the year, said Leishman.

“Even on a cloudy day, you are generating power that can be stored in batteries or directed back to the grid,” she said. “It is fairly easy to do that on a home.” Other local building initiatives Leishman said she would like to see are upgrading insulation, changing windows and doors and installing heat pumps. “It is a proven brilliant method of financing energy-efficiency upgrades to a home or business because there is very little risk for the city and it helps the homeowner,” said Leishman. Unlike Nova Scotia and Ontario, however, the BC government does not allow the practice. “We have to lobby the province into changing that legislation, otherwise there is not a mechanism for us to do that kind of loan structure,” said Leishman. Changing legislation can take a long time and involve many steps. As an example, City of Powell River recently passed a declaration to a right to a healthy environment. “David Suzuki Foundation and Blue

Dot are trying to get the federal government to pass an environmental bill of rights,” said Leishman. This bill of rights would change the Canadian constitution by adding the right to a healthy environment. “If enough municipalities pass the declaration to the right to a healthy environment, then the next step is lobbying FCM, through the Union of BC Municipalities, to ask the federal government to pass an environmental bill of rights to a healthy environment, clean air, safe drinking water and clean soils for food production,” she said. It is not just local governments and large environmental charities that need to lead the charge, said Leishman. “If the public makes a huge statement about it, and is screaming in the media, the government is much more likely to have to listen,” she said. When Leishman reviewed her conference experience at City of Powell River’s regular council meeting on March 3 with a PowerPoint presentation, she brought council and the public to Ottawa’s door to experience the possibilities for Powell River’s future.

complex, two-tiered organizational structure that will manage assets in land, resources and tourism. According to Kelly Rankin, chief executive officer of Tla’amin Mana gement Services Limited Partnership, the total value of those assets is about $75 million. “That could be in the ballpark,” said Rankin. Businesses of Tla’amin Nation are transitioning to seven limited partnerships, adapted from the Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development, a model implemented by the Ucluelet and Huu-ay-aht first nations. According to Rankin, the new Tla’amin Holdings is a major structural change from a development corporation, under which the nation’s assets were previously managed. “Development corporations were an Indian Act structure for a lot of first nations,” he said. “Now we have limited partnerships and other businesses.” Limited partnerships are often chosen for raising money for certain kinds of business ventures. The generation of revenue from these partnerships is one of the most important components of self-government. “We have to generate revenue to fund the self-government,” said Rankin. “The government needs revenue to function on.” According to Rankin, new businesses are added almost daily as the restructuring continues. Tla’amin businesses currently include: Tla’amin Capital Assets, which manages the nation’s land and leases; Thichum Forest Projects, including Tla’amin Timber Products and Goat Lake Forest Products; Pa’aje

Silviculture Inc., which handles growing and cultivation of trees; PRSC Land Development, a partnership with City of Powell River; Freda Creek Community Hydro project, a partnership between Tla’amin Energy and City of Powell River; Tla’amin Mana gement Ser vices; and Tla’amin Resorts and Accommodations, including the Historic Lund Hotel and Lund Pacific Tours. Rankin, who is non-aboriginal, worked in finance and commercial real-estate investment and has experience in aquaculture and property management. He has been working on the draft structure for about a year. Tla’amin Nation now owns 8,322 hectares of land, which is just over one third the size of Texada Island. Administration of residential leases includes 206 occupied lots, said Rankin, and other unoccupied lots that will be sold on a 99-year basis. “Tla’amin Capital Assets Corporation, a limited partnership, is going to be holding the capital assets,” said Rankin. “Those are the land leased on Klahanie Drive and the area of Highway 101 we call the Southview leases;

they are 99-year, prepaid residential leases.” Rankin said the total value of land assets and leases changes every day, so it is hard to quantify. In all, Tla’amin owns a total of 16 locations comprised of former reserve lands and provincial Crown land, from Stillwater to part of Texada, north along the Malaspina and Gifford peninsulas to the south of Homfray Channel, part of Cortes Island, all of Hernando and Harwood islands, as well as Powell, Goat and Haslam lakes. In legal terminology, these lands are fee simple, meaning absolute ownership and use, and free of any other claims against title. Some of that property is within Powell River, including the Cranberry Lake area and parcels in Westview and on Wharf Street. “I know they’re currently looking at what their opportunities are on those properties,” said Scott Randolph, City of Powell River manager of economic development. “Not focusing on specific properties, I think there’s opportunities for the benefit of both of our endeavours.”

Local goalie Sean Maguire turns pro Former Powell River Kings netminder signs two-year contract with Pittsburgh Penguins ALEX RAWNSLEY Peak Sports

When the Pittsburgh Penguins called Sean Maguire’s name in the fourth round of the 2012 National Hockey League (NHL) entry draft, the former Powell River Kings goaltender knew he had been granted an opportunity to play at the highest level. Following four years of hard work and an excellent collegiate career at Boston University, Maguire has been offered his first NHL contract with the team that drafted him. “It’s a relief knowing that a team wants you to come play with them,” said Maguire, who was raised mostly in Powell River. “I’ve been working towards this for a while, so it’s a nice feeling and I’m happy it’s all said and done.” The agreement with Pittsburgh is for two seasons, starting with the 2016/2017 campaign. With his hockey duties complete at Boston University, Maguire has joined the Penguins’ American Hockey League (AHL) affili-

ate in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Pennsylvania. “I’ll finish off the year with them as they go through playoffs; I’m looking forward to soaking it all in, working with their coaches,” said Maguire. “Hopefully I get a couple of games in, but if not I’m going to work hard and get a leg up on next year.” Following two BC Hockey League Coastal Conference championship seasons with his hometown Kings, Maguire ventured east to suit up for Boston University Terriers of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. He recorded 13 wins in his freshman campaign before a rough sophomore year and a concussion that derailed his junior season and put a pause on hockey. “That year off really gave me an opportunity to view things from a different perspective,” said Maguire. “I was able to work on things that I couldn’t mid-season, whether in Powell River or in Boston. I had time to work with my goalie coaches and doctors. I can look back on it as a positive.” After the break, Maguire returned better than ever, posting a 13-9-1 record and two shutouts in league play during his senior season. It was the annual Beanpot Tournament in February that put him back on the map as Maguire became the first goaltender named most valuable player

since 2010, guiding the Terriers to the final before falling in a 1-0 overtime loss to Boston College. Maguire stopped 40 of 41 shots in the final game. The agreement with Pittsburgh represents the next step in Maguire’s hockey career, something that has strong roots in Powell River. When news of the contract broke on Wednesday, April 6, it quickly spread through town. “It’s flattering that Powell River noticed and that the town gets recognition that we can produce good hockey players,” said Maguire. “I’m sure I’m not going to be the last one to go off and play pro hockey for Powell River and represent a tight-knit community that loves hockey. To have the support from the community, my friends and family there is amazing.” Following a stint with the AHL Penguins, Maguire is due to return to Boston to complete studies before working hard in the offseason to ready himself for the AHL and potentially the NHL. “I have to learn the pro game; it’s a little different because things happen faster, guys move and shoot faster,” said Maguire. “Wilkes-Barre/Scranton’s coaches obviously know what they’re talking about, so my goal is to learn from them before the season is over.”

NEXT LEVEL: After finishing his collegiate career, former Powell River Kings goaltender Sean Maguire signed a two-year agreement with Pittsburgh Penguins. The contract takes effect starting with the 2016/2017 season. ALICIA BAAS PHOTO

Hockey players to compete in BC tournament SHANE CARLSON Peak Sports

REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVES: Keagen Abbott [left], Nicolas Porchetta and Gabe Shipley [not pictured] have been selected to play at the U15 high-performance provincial hockey tournament in Richmond from May 5-8. ALICIA BAAS PHOTO

Recent attendance at BC Hockey’s U15 Vancouver Island region camp has resulted in more ice time for three Powell River Minor Hockey Association products. From April 1-3, forward Nicolas Porchetta and defencemen Gabe Shipley and Keagen Abbott, all members of Powell River Bantam Rep Kings, participated in on- and off-ice training and skills-development sessions in Duncan with approximately 80 other players from the region. After the camp, 25 of the players trying out were chosen to play at the U15 high-performance provincial tournament in Richmond from May 5-8, including Porchetta, Shipley and Abbott. A total of 160 players will represent regional camps from across BC and play in a jamboree-style tournament with teams specifically formed for the event. BC Hockey and the Western Hockey League will promote skill development

through a national skill-testing program, which utilizes the latest in combine-testing technology and includes on- and office sessions for the competitors. Key areas for improvement are identified for each player and, at the end of the tournament, each player is presented with sports-testing results and a ranking within a national database. Porchetta, who scored 20 goals and added eight assists in 23 games for the Bantam Kings last season, is one of 14 forwards selected from the Vancouver Island region. Nine defencemen were also chosen to move on, including Shipley and Abbott, each of whom also suited up for 23 games. Shipley scored twice and added 11 assists, while Abbott contributed five goals and three assists over the course of the season. Bantam Kings faced tier one competition during regular-season play and competed in tier two playoffs, advancing to the Island final before being eliminated by Campbell River.

Dyson Gaudet A celebration of life will be held Saturday, April 16, 1 pm at Westview Baptist Church

John (Bobo) Bogoslowski June 14,1926 – April 9, 2016

We are saddened to announce the passing of our dearest dad, John Bogoslowski, two months shy of 90 years old. He was born on a farm in Grandview, Manitoba. After serving in the merchant marines during World War II, John went back to Dauphin, Manitoba to work and met the love of his life Verna. He moved to Port Alberni in 1951, then relocated to Powell River in 1952 and settled with his wife Verna to raise their family. He worked in the mill as a sawyer until his retirement at the age of 63; after that John and Verna enjoyed excursions to various places to visit and frolic with their siblings and family. John was predeceased by his loving wife of 62 years Verna, his daughter Rosaline, his sons-in-law Pat Charbonneau and Paolo Ritossa, four brothers and four sisters. Left behind to mourn his passing are his sister Nell Archer, his children Irene, Linda, Bob and Mark (Emy), son-in-law Dan, 10 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. Bobo will be remembered for his years of service in the community; Knights of Columbus,where he took great pride in cutting the grass and maintaining the Knight’s of Columbus Hall at the old golf course. He and mom were also very well known for their luncheons at the hall; minor baseball and minor hockey, to name a few. He loved a “good” argument but, with a twinkle in his eye and a smile on his face, would say “just kidding.” John believed that if you treat people in a kind and friendly manner it would brighten their day. The family would like to thank Debbie Morehouse for all her loving support and help, Father Dass, Dr. Schweitzer, all the doctors and nurses in the emergency room and on the fourth floor and all the home-care support workers for taking such good care of our dad. A funeral service will take place at 1 pm on Saturday, April 16, at Church of the Assumption, with an informal luncheon to follow. May you rest in peace. Now you can be with Mama, give her a big hug and kiss from us all; we love you!

Ruth Corinne Piper June 25, 1926 - April 4, 2016

Ruth passed peacefully in her sleep. She was born in North Vancouver and moved to Powell River to be a primary school teacher. She met her husband-to-be Jim Piper and married him in August 1951. Ruth loved her garden and enjoyed the fruits of her labour. Ruth is survived by her husband Jim. I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one. I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done. I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I’d like the tears of those who grieve to dry before the sun over happy memories I leave when my life is done. In lieu of flowers, donation may be made to Powell River Hospital Foundation or a charity of your choice. No service by request. Thank you to all our friends and neighbours for their support.

Christopher (Kit) Moore Jr. Kit passed away suddenly in Nanaimo, BC, on April 5, at the age of 82. He was born in Drumheller, Alberta, and moved to Powell River with his parents Kit Sr. and Maggie at the age of two. Kit was predeceased by his wife Sharon, his sister Janet Hawk (Lou), and younger brother Martin. He is survived by his only daughter Terri and her son Troy; son Randy (Cheryl) and grandchildren Kristyn, Stephanie, Kelsey and Tyler; and son Kevin and grandchildren Tristan and Brad. Kit is also survived by greatgrandchildren Seraya, Ryland, Bryden, Layla and Sophia, his brother Albert (Linda), sister-in-law Kaarina and numerous nieces and nephews. Kit was a Freemason, like his father and brothers. He lived his life for fishing, hunting, gardening and a good game of cribbage. He worked as a papermaker in the mill for more than 40 years. A celebration of life will be held Saturday, April 16, at 3 pm at Powell River United Church. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Order of Eastern Star, Powell River, 97 Cancer Fund. It’s hard to forget someone who gave you so much to remember. Love you, Dad

Reverend Doug Graves December 13, 1944 to March 27, 2016 Reverend Doug Graves moved to Powell River just over two years ago, but many here will remember him for diving right into community life. He brought his extensive knowledge of the refugee sponsorship process to his leadership with the Welcome Refugee Powell River board. As a member of Powell River United Church and a retired minister, Doug sang in the choir, presided over funerals, led worship and much more. He was also a literacy tutor with Community Adult Literacy and Learning and served the community of L’Arche Comox Valley as a mentor and continued his work with L’Arche International. Country music, hymns and their histories, the theologian Henri Nouwen, goofball comedies, books of all kinds, his dogs Penny and Bear, his work and his family all brought him great joy. Doug was born in Montreal and grew up in Vancouver, the son of a nurse and anesthesiologist. Childhood polio left him with a severely curved spine and post-polio syndrome. He graduated with a degree in mathematics from University of British Columbia, a master’s degree in divinity from McGill University and was ordained in 1969. During his working life, he served congregations in rural Manitoba and Vancouver, including First United Church on the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver, Southill, Ladner and St. Stephens in Delta. In the last years of his working ministry, Doug organized several community dialogues between Tsawwassen First Nation and non-aboriginal residents of Delta, to ease tensions and promote understanding. This was just one of many quiet projects stretching over his life that highlight his insight, pursuit of justice, patience with people and hopefulness. Doug is survived by his wife Laurel Hunt, stepchildren Hayley Hunt-Brondwin (Tom), Ariel Hunt-Brondwin (Chris) and Pieta Woolley (Martyn), sister Barb (Bart), brother Alan and grandchildren David and Abi Woolley and Rowan Wulff. who was born just days after Doug passed away suddenly, at age 71, from a hemorrhage. Doug’s memorial service will be held at Powell River United Church at 2 pm on Thursday, April 21. Donations to L’Arche Comox Valley larchecomoxvalley.org and End Polio Now, Rotary International’s campaign, are welcome in lieu of flowers.

PICKS OF THE WEEK

GEMINI | MAY 21 TO JUNE 21 Patience is not your biggest virtue this week. Any money issues that come up will be solved in due course. Given time, solutions are bound to turn up.

LEO | JULY 24 TO AUGUST 23 You take care of a fairly large group of people with whom you are going to do lots of activities. Stress might tire you out, so take some time to rest before the end of the week. VIRGO | AUGUST 24 TO SEPTEMBER 22 Your boss has to leave work suddenly; to your surprise, you are asked to take over. Try to have more confidence in yourself and let your leadership skills shine.

SUDOKU

LIBRA | SEPTEMBER 23 TO OCTOBER 22 You may be worrying about your ability to communicate in a foreign language if a business trip is in the works. Don’t worry; you’re sure to surpass all expectations. SCORPIO | OCTOBER 23 TO NOVEMBER 22 A career change sometimes involves going back to school. Lots of patience and effort give you the opportunity to extricate yourself from a rather precarious financial situation. SAGITTARIUS | NOVEMBER 23 TO DECEMBER 20 You usually don’t hesitate when faced with a big decision; however, this time around, be sure to weigh the pros and cons. What’s more, new information will appear at the last minute.

LAST WEEK’S SODUKO ANSWER:

SCOTT’S

TAURUS | APRIL 20 TO MAY 20 Take the time to examine your different bills because there’s sure to be a mistake in one of them. If you catch it, you can recover a considerable amount of money.

CANCER | JUNE 22 TO JULY 23 You feel the effects of accumulated fatigue and so some rest is necessary. Having more peace of mind will give you the inspiration to reach your professional goals.

Level: Beginner Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9X9 grid, broken down into nine 3X3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION:

ACROSS 1. Tiny bit 5. Mouth off to 9. Kind of gun 12. Omit 13. Fertilizer component 14. Lunch hour 15. Light source 16. Float, in a way 18. Shoe part 20. Magical drink 21. Stand 22. Caviar 23. Erratic 25. Gofer’s job 29. Pitcher’s asset 30. When it’s broken, that’s good 31. Arnold’s Terminator, e.g. 35. Like turbulent waves 38. Forest sticker 39. Drag 40. Old-fashioned “Scram!” 43. Secure 46. Loafing 48. Mentor 49. Opposite of hence 50. Rework 51. Junkie 52. Put in stitches 53. Orpheus’ instrument 54. Former Speaker Gingrich

ARIES | MARCH 21 TO APRIL 19 You have no problems speaking up and you express out loud what others are only thinking. You’ll have to get used to your new phone, which is more complicated than your last one.

CAPRICORN | DECEMBER 22 TO JANUARY 20 You are responsible for all the emergencies that come up at work, including some complaints from dissatisfied customers. Your smile can help defuse some tense situations. AQUARIUS | JANUARY 21 TO FEBRUARY 19 You accomplish a great feat in one way or another. You are warmly applauded and put up on a pedestal. You might even save someone from a disaster. PISCES | FEBRUARY 20 TO MARCH 20 Your young children may be more turbulent than usual. You should take the time to establish and explain new rules at home in order to restore peace and harmony.
