WAWMEESHG. HAMILTON

ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

A Supreme Court justice has ruled that pensioners and employees have a voting stake in the sale of Catalyst Paper. This development means Catalyst can hold a second vote

on its restructuring plans.

Justice Robert Sewell ruled that Catalyst can hold a second vote of its creditors on June 25, and that pensioners have a stake in the matter and therefore can vote.

Pensioners were excluded from the

first restructuring vote, which was held May 23. The plan failed by three per cent, prompting the company to start the process of selling its mills to the highest bidder.

According to a Catalyst press release, there is support from creditors

for an amended restructuring plan. In addition, “certain holders of unsecured notes who previously voted against the plan of arrangement or did not vote on the plan of arrangement have indicated that they will support the amended plan,” the release noted.

Mill pensioners belonging to a defined benefits plan would be heavily impacted in the event of a sale. If the company is restructured then the plan is preserved. If it’s sold, however, then the new owners aren’t obligated to inherit the plan, said Gary McCaig, spokesperson

for the Catalyst Salaried Employees and Pensioners Group.

There is no guarantee with a second vote but the parties have done their best, he added.

“We’re pleased that we’ve been able to come this far. But we still have another hurdle to jump through,” McCaig said.

It wasn’t just the groundswell over the pension issue that won the day, McCaig said. “I attribute this to the fact that so many parties — municipal, employees and the public — supported a second vote,” McCaig said. “It’s a really powerful experience when different parties stand together and make their voices heard.”

Municipalities gave tax breaks. Employees made contract concessions. And pensioners gave as well. They surrendered their extended medical benefits under the new plan and allowed

to company to repay the pension deficit over 15 years instead of seven years.

“From the creditors’ point of view this gives them the assurance that this is a company with a future,” McCaig said.

According to McCaig, Powell River Mayor Dave Formosa addressed the court and gave an unvarnished explanation of the impact the issue was having, not just in his community but also inothers with Catalyst mills.

In a related development, Formosa told CKNW that the provincial government is on the verge of throwing a significant chit into the mix. “The minister of finance has recommended to cabinet to do an order-in-council to allow the pensioners the ability to not have their funds go into annuity, if they don’t want. They can pull them out and invest them themselves.”

Barrel racers remember patriarch

SUSAN QUINNALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

Bill Jeffery never raced a horse around a barrel—in the rodeo world, that’s an event dominated by women. But he participated in a lot of rodeo events, and made it a family affair.

Jeffery died four years ago, but the passion he instilled in his wife and daughters for horses and for barrel racing is thriving. His widow, Carey, and daughter Jenna will compete in a memorial race in Jeffery’s honour this

Saturday, June 23 and Sunday, June 24 at the fairgrounds behind Glenwood Centre in Port Alberni.

The second annual event is part of the

Island Barrel Racing Series.

A barrel racing course comprises three barrels set up in a clover leaf pattern; the size is dependent

on the arena. Riders can run either to the right or the left barrel first. “You’re racing against a clock,” Jenna Jeffery explains. “If you knock over a barrel, it’s a five-second penalty.”

A standard pattern takes 17.6 seconds to complete. And that’s the attraction: the speed at which competitors finish the course, Jeffery said.

The event starts at 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 23 and again at 11 a.m. on Sunday, June 24. Admission is free. A dessert and coffee social will follow Saturday’s event, for people to reminisce about Bill Jeffery.

ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

The Alberni District Teachers’ Union hopes a groundswell will start from a small meeting about the future of public education, president Ken Zydyk said.

A crowd of approximately 30 people attended a public forum on education last Thursday night at the Best Western Barclay Hotel.

Most of those in attendance were teachers, but others hailed from unions such as CUPE, as well as trustee Rosemarie Buchanan from School District 70.

The meeting was a start, Zydyk said resolutely. “This is our first meeting and I feel that it went well.

“We’ve accomplished something when we can get people out,” he said. “Larger movements always start with a small interested group of people.”

The meeting was to ostensibly educate the public about the pending fallout from the labour dispute between teachers and the provincial government.

Bill 22 chokes collective bargaining and worsens learning conditions, he said. The B.C. Teachers’ Federation has started a court action regarding the bill. “But that can take years,” Zydyk said.

The aftershocks are already being

felt in the Alberni Valley School District. Teacher Nick Seredick teaches English to a class of 30 and often can’t help all of the students who come to his desk with questions, he said.

Teachers attempted job action last spring but were legislated back to work and have to adhere to strict conditions with stiff fines if they don’t comply.

The ADTU will assess where things are in September when fallout from the

legislation will likely start. “There may yet be some programs that will be saved,” Zydyk said.

Such a forum wasn’t held sooner because teachers had explored other options first. Recent reports on staffing numbers and program cuts prompted the call for public action.

The ADTU wants the public to write the provincial government, their MLA and education critic, as well as letters to the editor about the issue. “We need the public’s voice right now,” Zydyk said. Another forum may be scheduled for the fall.

Alberni Flying Club holds open house Sun.

The Alberni Valley Regional Airport sits just 11 kilometres northwest of Port Alberni, yet how many people have never driven out there to see what it offers?

The Alberni Flying Club is hoping to change that this weekend, as they host an open house on Sunday, June 24 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the airport.

The flying club will have its Cessna 172 on display, and will run a concession throughout the day by the hangars. Several local pilots will offer their planes for scenic flights, weather permitting. Coulson Aircrane will have one of its support aircraft on display, and there will be other aircraft too.

The BC Forest Service’s rapid attack forest fire team is based at the airport, as is the Alberni Valley Soaring Association. “Come out and see what’s here,” Flying Club president Chris Duncan said.

You ‘auto’ mark homecoming date

SUSAN QUINNALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

Every car has a story, says enthusiast Satch Willis. Port Alberni’s fascination with the automobile spans 100 years, and there are some good stories to be found.

Willis is collecting memorabilia—as well as cars and trucks—for a special two-day centennial car show, to be held Aug. 4–5 in the AV Multiplex parking lot, concurrently with the city’s centennial homecoming celebration at Bob Dailey Stadium.

Nearly a century ago Port Alberni’s first mayor, Arthur Waterhouse, owned a 1913 Buick McLaughlin. Volunteers with the Western Vancouver Island Industrial Heritage Society vehicle have kept it in pristine condition, and the Buick is still on display.

Another distinctive car, a REO the Fifth, played a bit part in the city’s history too, when Thomas Wilby and Jack Haney drove it from Halifax to Victoria in 1912. The duo stopped in Port

Alberni, the furthest they could travel west at the time, and Wilby wrote about the experience.

Willis is looking for more recent history too, like photos from the famous hill climbs, drag races, off-road races and auto clubs. “Port Alberni’s always been known as ‘car town’,” he said.

Willis is putting

together a two-day car show that he would like to see span the century. “Bring what you’ve got,” he said. “There are so many cars in this Valley that are tucked away. I don’t care if it’s on a trailer, bring it out.”

The categories are wide open: soapbox cars, sports cars, racing cars, hotrods, and because it’s celebrating a century, early-model cars would be most welcome, he said.

Vehicles will be displayed outside in the multiplex parking lot (security will be available).

‘Port Alberni’s always been

known as ‘car town’.’– Satch Willis

V ICTORIA – The B.C. government has taken some

modest steps to tighten up the province’s income assistance system, and to encourage people to work when they are able to.

With Premier Christy Clark swooping in to take credit, Social Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux unveiled changes that included fixing the worst mistake in B.C. Liberal policy. Cadieux acknowledged that B.C. was the only province that clawed back all earnings from employable welfare recipients, and she announced that from now on they will be able to earn up to $200 a month without penalty. The exemption for disabled people is increased from $500 to $800 a month.

Another important change is requiring welfare recipients to file income tax returns. People

can now do temporary work when it comes along, report the income and take advantage of the various tax credits that come from participating in society instead of just living off it. Any experience earning money is valuable experience.

With baby boomers starting to retire in big numbers, the expected labour shortage has begun across Western Canada. And yet, increasing numbers of foreign workers are coming in to do farm and other work, while many young people are unemployed.

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon took note of this during his budget preparations. Increasing numbers of young, employable people were applying for welfare in southern B.C., while jobs go begging in the booming northeast. Falcon mused about setting up a program to provide training and plane fare

for these people, an idea quickly dubbed “welfare air.”

Another effort to get young people working is Jobfest, a rock-themed road show currently touring northern B.C. towns. It attracts young people with music and souvenirs like drumsticks and guitar picks, and

offers them skills assessment using sexy iPad apps and graphics that depict carpentry as cool.

If Jobfest and welfare air sound a bit desperate, it’s because they are. They illustrate our society’s problem. We have a public school system where students pass whether they do the work or not. The culture assumes self-esteem is more important than achievement. The teachers’ union constantly sets an example that the way to get what you want is to stamp your feet and demand it from government. What do we

expect young people to learn?

And how easy is it for B.C. to slip into a Greece-like tailspin, where a majority expects to be carried on the backs of the shrinking minority who do productive work? Old-timers might recall when Mike Harcourt’s NDP government took over from the allegedly miserly Social Credit regime and raised welfare rates.

They compounded that mistake by relaxing eligibility rules and making it easier for employable people to stay on welfare.

After a couple of years of this wealth redistribution, 10 per cent of the B.C. population was on welfare, with more piling on every day. Faced with the results of this staggering blunder, Harcourt lashed out at “cheats, deadbeats and varmints” scamming B.C. taxpayers and launched a crackdown on fraud. Later the NDP cut the basic rate for single employables to $500 a month.

EDITORIAL

Bill required proper debate

While the lumping together of numerous pieces of federal legislation in one giant omnibus bill may not be precedent-setting, there is fear that doing so threatens to reduce democracy to mere window dressing.

Stephen Harper’s Conservative government, still relatively young in its first majority, reduced the level of debate on specific issues relating to everything from environmental protection to military spending to multiculturalism. No aspect of governmental operations was being spared.

The concern is that sections of the bill pinpointed by hard-working MPs as troublesome could not possibly be given the time needed to discuss potential problems with implementation before regulations and budgets get put in place.

It’s not just opposing MPs who were left scrambling by this tactic. Even Conservative MPs were forced to bone up on all aspects of the government’s budget legislation. Who’s got time for that? And how could we expect any of our elected representatives to be well-versed on even half of the legislation tabled?

Meanwhile, Opposition and other MPs tabled 800 possible amendments to the bill, which no doubt caused further confusion among this country’s lawmakers as the bill was debated.

The feds argued time is of the essence as they work to keep the economy from spiralling.

Still, that is not reason enough to subvert the democratic process and allow for the kind of proper debate that Canadians have come to expect.

To use a well-used phrase, this can only end badly, both for the continuity of services, checks and balances in this country and the preservation of the type of democracy we all voted for.

A young Christian man was planning to go for the summer to work at a logging camp in Northern B.C. His friends wondered how he would make out there because it was known as a particularly rough camp. After the summer was over and he got home, they asked him how difficult it was. He said it was no problem, they never found out that he was a Christian. It seems that people who don’t believe in God are usually very open about their beliefs or lack of them, while Christians often are so shy to speak about their faith. I like what one Christian writer said. She suggested that we should be able to speak about Christ and our trust in Him as as freely as we talk about sports, our gardens, or the weather.

Mailbag: Feedback on trash walking, trash talking.

Cleanup effort a small start

To the Editor,I am writing with

reference to the cleanup efforts that are just now being shown by shop owners in South Port. We applaud all involved to have finally taken control of this deplorable condition in this town.

My husband and I moved back to Port in February. We walk for more than an hour every day and sometimes again in the evening. We carry used grocery bags with us to pick up the garbage.

Personally we produce very little garbage, but every week our can is full. On garbage collection days, we are able to relieve our load in the receptacles on the sidewalk. Every day on our same route there are one or two bags to pick up.

With all the talk of saving our environment, one would think that

people would realize this behaviour is unsustainable and intolerable. Do the people who drop the trash on the streets think it disappears on its own?

From the items we pick up—coffee and drink cups, cigarette packages, snack food containers, beer cans and discarded work gloves (Anderson/Ship Creek Roads)—it comes from all age groups.

Two nights ago we decided to walk down Ship Creek Road from Cameron Drive and we picked up a full garbage bag plus another smaller one in that short distance. Two teenage boys on Third Avenue dropped some plastic on the sidewalk. When my husband called out and asked them if they were going to leave the plastic there, one of the boys said ‘my bad’ and keep walking toward Cameron Drive.

My husband and I are content with the knowledge that our

walk areas are being kept clean. It would be nice if others would adopt a block or more and take along a garbage bag as well.

To the people of Port Alberni, take pride in your community, and therefore in yourself, and keep our beautiful town clean and litter free.

Janet West,Port Alberni

No respectfor contracts

To the Editor, Re: CLBC executives

get raises after bonuses eliminated.

Blaming the problem on flawed public perception, the Liberal government has opted to eliminate performance bonuses for Community Living BC management and, instead, roll that money into their salaries giving some executive a nearly 10 per cent wage increase.

This is occurring at a time that public sector workers are being forced

to negotiate new contracts under a government-imposed “net zero” or “co-operative gains” mandate, which dictates that any wage increase must be realized from concessions to other parts of their existing contracts.

In 2011 the BC Liberals defended pension/bonus compensation for then-BC Ferries CEO, David Hahn by saying that it was in the terms of his contract which they were obliged to honour.

Now this government is using the same arguement to justify the raises for Community Living BC (CLBC) executives, saying that “these people have contracts and they are all entitled to be compensated fairly and we have to do what’s lawful”.

When did the Liberals gain such respect for contracts? It certainly wasn’t in 2002 when Bill 29 gutted health care

contracts and Bills 27 and 28 slashed teachers’ contracts.

It surely didn’t exist in 2004 when Bill 37 legislated health care workers a 15 per cent wage reduction and further cuts to their legal contract.

This is simply outrageous!

Nancy Czigany,Port Alberni

Fishing bycatch unnecessary

To the Editor, The death of an

emaciated humpback whale washed ashore, entangled in fishing line is a stark reminder that many animals besides fish are dying for dinner.

Researchers estimate that nearly 1,000 dolphins, whales,and porpoises die every day after being caught by “mistake” in fishing nets.

Leaving fish (and other animals) off our plates is the most humane choice.

Paula Moore,The PETA Foundation,

Norfolk, VA


From / 10Today it stands at

$610, and the NDP looks poised to repeat history.

Surrey MLA Jagrup Brar did a month-long publicity stunt in January, living on welfare by wandering from shelter to food bank with TV cameras trailing behind.

Brar would have been better off if

welfare air had been available. Instead of learning to live off the burgeoning urban handout industry, he could have gone up to Dawson Creek or Fort St. John and worked as a labourer.

QUESTION

weekof the

Vote at: www.albernivalleynews.com

This week’s question:Do you think the housing market in Port Alberni is due for a correction?

Do you think a second restructuring vote by creditors is enough to save Catalyst Paper?

Yes – 9 No – 12To the Editor,The annual “yellow

plague” is again spreading toxic chemicals all over Vancouver Island. As in years past, the only obvious resistance to the infestation is the call for “broombusters” to volunteer their time and effort to remove broom plants in their respective communities.

A chore undertaken by many, but too large a task for the number of volunteers. And so, the invasive plants continue to spread at an alarming rate.

But there are new projects in a few

districts, with many more required.

The most successful program of broom killing has been underway in Langford for the past 10 years.

The current Mill Hill project has already removed 63 tonnes of broom clusters, which will be processed into bio fuel. Broom is removed by helicopter.

The different governing bodies in our Valley should recognize the urgent need for broom destruction.

Form a “wipeout plan”, and quickly.

Harold Hamilton,Port Alberni

Car show only part of centennial homecomingFrom / 9

There will be space in Glenwood Centre for memorabilia and photos that show the city’s automotive history. “I want to

collect—borrow—as much paraphernalia about the car clubs, car shows, hill climbs, gymkhanas, drag races, motorcycle and off-road racing events

that we have had over the years,” Willis said.

There is no entry fee, but Willis asks car owners to please pre-register by calling him at 250-723-6162 or e-mail [email protected]. Car owners will receive a commemorative centennial plaque for displaying their vehicles, but there is no prize money.

The car show is just one part of the homecoming events planned for Aug. 3–6, when Port Alberni will truly celebrate its centennial.

A welcome event is tentatively planned at the chamber of commerce visitors’ centre for Friday, Aug. 3. On Saturday, Aug. 4, the day begins in South Port with puddle duck races off Harbour

Quay, the farmers’ market, artists’ demonstrations at the Rollin Art Centre and other galleries on Argyle Street.

At noon, people can switch to Bob Dailey Stadium for entertainment, crafters and artisans’ booths, a kid zone, and the car show at the AV Multiplex parking lot.

There is also a bike and wagon decorating contest for kids, sponsored by Harbourview Collision. “We want every type of transportation that

will hold a baby or a kid,” organizer Darlene Coulson said. Materials for decorating bikes and wagons will be available at the kid zone, and there will be prizes for everyone who enters, she said.

Entertainment continues on the stage Sunday, also at Bob Dailey Stadium.

The Timebenders will feature 50 years of music, and the chamber will judge its beard and bonnet contest.

On Monday, Aug. 6, families can travel by

steam train for half price to McLean Mill National Historic Site and participate in an old-fashioned family picnic. Walk-in admission is half price as well.

The picnic will feature old-fashioned games, a children’s entertainer, steam donkey and mill demonstration and box lunches, too.

Centennial events are listed on the city’s website at www.portalberni.ca, under the special “centennial” link.

HOLLIES LADIES/ Ladies night, oh what a night. 22SPORTSBrossoit cracks team Canada roster

WAWMEESHG. HAMILTON

ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

A young hockey player whose father hails

from Port Alberni has been named to Team Canada’s roster for the 2012 Canada-Russia Challenge.

Calgary Flames goaltending prospect Laurent Brossoit, 19, was named to the

team Canada roster two weeks ago, his father John Brossoit said.

“He’s over the moon and it’s been non-stop for him since,” John said.

Laurent was the Flames’ sixth-round selection, 164th overall, in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.

Team Canada’s roster is comprised of three goaltenders, 10 defencemen and 15 forwards, and was selected by Kevin Prendergast,

head scout of the men’s Program of Excellence for Hockey Canada.

In a twist, Brossoit

is sharing goaltending duties on Team Canada with his WHL Edmonton Oil Kings teammate Tristan Jarry.

Brossoit and his team are headed to Russia in August to play back-to-back games against Russia Yaroslavl. They return to Canada for a two-game stint starting Aug. 13 when they play ET Russia

in Halifax. All this before an NHL camp and then there’s even more.

Coaches are watching prospects to determine which of them will be invited to Canada’s National Junior Team selection camp in December.In total, 22 players will be selected to represent Canada at the 2013 IIHF World Junior Championship,

Dec. 26, 2012 to Jan. 5, 2013 in Ufa, Russia.

Brossoit notched a 42-13-2-3 record with a 2.47 goals-against average and a .914 save percentage in his second full season in Edmonton.

He helped the Oil Kings to a Western Hockey League championship and the team’s first trip to the Memorial Cup, and earned the nod

for tourney Most Valuable Player honours.

The 2012 Canada-Russia Challenge is a collaboration between Hockey Canada, the Canadian Hockey League and Halifax Trade Centre.

The event is being held in honour of the 40th anniversary of the 1972 Canada-Russia series.

Coast classic classy Nine years strong at Hollies

The Alberni Golf Club’s annual West Coast Amateur Tournament was held Saturday and Sunday with 94 entrants vying for prizes under cloudy but dry conditions.

The top overall winner was Dustin Yeager from Royal Colwood firing a two day total of 138. Tyler Vananrooy from Sunnydale was in 2nd place. Greg Palmer was the low Port Alberni player, with Lee Haney

from Uplands in fourth place.

Fifth place was taken by Port Alberni’s Brett Parhar.

The top five net winners in the following order were Ron Clark from Port Alberni, Bob Turner also from Port Alberni, William Crowther from Morningstar, Ron Barker from Port Alberni and Ted Stewart also from Port Alberni. As usual

the West Coast Amateur was a huge success for both players and fans.

Monday saw the Stableford event won by Ted Stewart posting 42 points. Doug Richmond and Jacques Giovetti tied for second with 40 points. Bill Bjornson was next with 38 points followed by Jim Rhodes and Barry Bowman with 37 points. Bob Turner and Steve Acland followed with 36 points.

Closest to the pin winners were Don Ferster on No. 2, Ilona McLeod on No. 4, Ted Stewart on No. 13 and Ilona McLeod again on No. 17.

Jackie and I have entered our ninth year owning and operating the Hollies Golf Course.

During that time, we have hosted numerous golf outings, but never one of our own, until last Friday, when we had our first Mixer (he/she) golf event.

While plagued by rain and no shows, we still had a near full house. The outing was built around a unique golf theme on each hole and designed to be fun

and purposely laid back in nature. We want to thank everyone who showed up as well as our sponsor Tim Horton’s.

The full moon has an affect on many people and golfers are no exception. On Men’s Night, it came out and reared it’s head reflecting itself in the way of higher than normal scores.

Emerging out of the pack, however, was Brian Isaac who showed no

indifference toward it by scoring a two over par 32. There were four others who scored 36’s for second and out of discomfort and embarrassment to them, I shall refrain from listing the runnersup.

In the net category however, newcomer Kelly Bauer shot a five under par 25 to win convincingly over runnerup Richard Allen who scored a one under par 29. Ron Lange won the deuce pot on hole No. 8, but no one took it on No. 3, vaulting the pot to over $180 for next week there. Dave Mann won two K.P.’s along with Lange, Ed Byrne, Taylore Hillton,

Are you a low-income senior or a person with a disability who wants to live safely and independently in the comfort of your home?

Do you have difficulty performing day-to-day activities?

Does your home need to be adapted to meet your changing needs? If so, you may be eligible for financial assistance under the Home Adaptations for

Independence (HAFI) program.

Find out today if you are eligible

and if you meet all of the requirements as a low-income homeowner or as a landlord applying on behalf of an eligible tenant.

Make Your Home Safe for Independent Living

H O U S I N G M AT T E R S

To apply or learn more, visit www.bchousing.org/HAFI

You can also contact BC Housing: Phone: 604-646-7055

Toll-free: 1-800-407-7757 (ext. 7055)

Would a new ramp, handrails or walk-in shower help you maintain your independence at home?

BC Housing’s new Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program helps low-income B.C. seniors and people with disabilities make home modifications that will allow them to continue living at home.

Through HAFI, homeowners and landlords with eligible tenants can apply for financial assistance of up to $20,000 for improvements that make their home more accessible and safe.

The goal of the program is to enable people who have physical limitations to live at home longer. People’s physical needs change over time – sometimes, a small improvement to a home can make the difference between being able to live independently or not.

Types of eligible projects include:

andrails in hallways or stairways,

areas in the kitchen,

bars, and

The projects must be permanent and fixed to the home, although exceptions can be made for equipment that gives access to an existing part of the home (e.g. a bath lift).

is funded by the Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia through the Canada-B.C. Affordable Housing Initiative. Through the HAFI

million in grants or forgivable loans will be distributed to qualifying B.C. residents over the next three years.

To qualify for assistance from HAFI, recipients must be a low-income senior or person with a disability, a Canadian citizen or landed immigrant, and a B.C. resident. Someone in the household must have a permanent disability or loss of ability that makes it difficult to perform

day-to-day activities. As well, the total household income and assets must be below a certain limit. BC

Housing can tell you the income and house value limits for your area when you apply.

The program is open to both homeowners and those living in market rental accommodation where rents are at the low end of market levels; landlords must

apply for improvements on behalf of eligible tenants.

application guide and application forms are available at www.bchousing.org/HAFI.

Championship. She’s going in to Day

GO TO GRASS...used to mean delve into a pack of cards and hope you draw the

right one. “Go to Grass” for

the members of the 18 Hole Ladies Division means to grab your clubs and head out to the golf course.

A fun Ball Sweep that our captain, Teresa Cutting had dreamed up was just that...”fun.” The winners all had KP’s (closest to the pin). On hole number five in the under 27 handicap group it was

Barb Sheare’s third shot that won the prize. Same hole and the over 27 handicap group with the fourth shot was Anne Brooks.

Number 10 hole, with the under 27 handicaps, was Marie Randall with her third shot and finally with a jaw-dropping chip it was Kathie Smith in the over 27 handicap group that took the prize with her fourth.

It’s ladies night

The number of women coming to Ladies Night at Hollies is growing weekly. Welcome to the newcomers and welcome back to some of the faces that have returned to enjoy golfing.

I, like many of you, am longing for the dog days of

summer. However, we are enjoying the challenges of golfing in the wet grass and the cool winds.

These winterish weather conditions must be improving our game because we had an unprecedented four golfers tying for low gross at an amazing score of 40.

The 41st Annual West Coast General Hospital Awards Ceremony for the Candy Stripers was held on June 13 in the cafeteria and these young ladies were excellent examples and are seen here with their leader Tina Whitehead, standing far left. They gave 100’s of hours of volunteering to give patients that extra special care.

Special Olympians had a special evening to receive their awards and it was held at Echo Centre. This large group of athletes are the bowlers that received their trophies at the banquet.

Echo Village turned 20 this year and the honours of cutting the cake were given to Bea Beatty the first president of the board of directors for ACCCS, long term staff member Patti Xie and Echo Village Ladies Auxiliary president Gwen McLel-lan. Their theme this year was “Together We Soar” as Leanna Fines Director of Residential and Community programs said, “It isn’t one person or one group that makes this place a home it is the combined effort of many caring individuals.”.

The Laureate Beta Iota chapter of Beta Sigma Phi recently made donations to the following groups that improve the quality of life for some of the more vulnerable citizens of the Valley. From left to right are Michelle Reis-Amores of Women’s Resources accepting a cheque from Julie Swaney, Olga Tardif a board member of the Community Foundation accepting from Gerry Johnston and Susan Fox of Outreach Therapy from Bev Frolic. They chose Rollin Art Centre to make these donations.

The NLCC Armour Ford held their 36th Annual Inspection on Saturday June 16 and the Navy League Cadets gave a wonderful show that was enjoyed by all who attended.

The big announcement for the evening came from Foundation Chair Jack Buffie who announced that each of the rooms would be receiving new window treatments, this includes blinds that keep out the sun in summer and keep in the heat in winter as well as new curtains, all being provided by local retailer Wynans Fine Furniture and Upholstery. Buffie with Suzie Vanherwaarden a di-rector of Fir Park/Echo Village Foundation, and Donna Michaud the Executive assistant with ACCCS.

Centennial work at Rollin

‘Centennial Inspirations’ is the title of this art exhibit showcasing local artist at the Rollin Art centre.

Each artist randomly selected a photograph, which was taken somewhere in Port Alberni 100 years ago. The photographs were their inspirations and each artist added their unique style when creating this exhibit that is worthwhile viewing.

The exhibit will run in the gallery from June 16 to Aug. 15. Don’t miss this opportunity to see this one of a kind show.

MELISSA MARTIN

Arts Around

Milner at Rainbow RoomAli Milner blends R&B pop with old-soul jazz, and

occasionally some good old rock and roll, to come up with a winning indie music combination. Catch this velvet-voiced songstress next Wednesday, June 27 at the Rainbow Room.

Tickets are $15 in advance at Rainbow Lanes. Doors open at 8 p.m., show starts at 8:30 p.m.

Things are about to get funky at Char’s Landing on Argyle Street.

Latin Funk Rock band Santa Lucia is performing at Char’s on Thursday, June 21, at 7 p.m.

Santa Lucia started with a vision to create a sound that evokes the early days of Latin Rock (Santana, War, Chakachas) while adding their own blend of funk and

rock with a young and fresh mix.

The music ventures off with a combination of Nuyorican boogaloo, West Coast style funk and Cuban grooves.

Their instruments include vocals and guitar, drums, bass, Latin percussion, alto sax, trombone, tenor sax, trumpet.

Opening for Santa Lucia is We Are The Strangers, a

Vancouver Island alternative rock band comprised of Kyle Guineau, Steven Guineau and Ryan Connell.

Originally playing together since 2009, and through a few years of experimenting with different sounds and playing covers, they have recently evolved into an original band.

Influenced by a wide spectrum of

musical genres, both old and new, We Are The Strangers’ aim is to keep their live show exciting and energetic.

Advance tickets are $15 ($12 for seniors/students) in advance, and $3 more at the door. Please call 250-730-1636 to reserve advance tickets.

Char’s Landing is located at Argyle Street and Fifth Avenue.
