An incident on Highway 4 that held up traffic for hours Wednes-day afternoon was caused by a heart attack, says a friend of the driver.

The crash involved a pickup truck carrying a camper on it’s back while pulling a trailer with a boat, reported the Port Albenri RCMP. At approximately 2:30 p.m. the truck collided with a barrier at a sharp turn while descending from the Alberni Summit east of the city. With a crushed front the truck left the right side of the road, ejecting the canopy camper and boat.

B.C. Ambulance arrived at 2:49 p.m., and a portion of High-way 4 was closed down to a single alternating lane as the debris was removed.

“The trailer began to slide and

ended up hitting the barrier,” said RCMP Insp. Mac Richards.

“The boat was detached from the trailer and went into the woods there.”

Port Alberni resident Roy Wall is a friend of the driver, who was

returning from spending a month in a cabin he owns in the area.

“The cops called me right away and then I went down there,” said Wall, adding that emergency personnel told him a heart fail-

ure could have prompted the collision. “They believe he had a slight heart attack, that’s what caused the accident. The truck, the camper and the boat all went over the no-post barricades that they had there.”

Wall’s friend, R. Park, was alone in the vehicle and transported to hospital in Nanaimo. The visitor from Wenatchee, Washington, is conscious but under close supervision.

“They’re doing heart tests on him, they’re running that stuff through his veins to trace his heart,” said Wall.

“He can’t have any visitors yet.”Single-vehicle collisions are

not unusual for the winding sec-tion of Highway 4 that runs east of Port Alberni into Cathedral Grove and MacMillan Provincial Park. Recent incidents include a Nanaimo woman who drove

off the road into Cameron Lake in July while heading back from Port Alberni. She was rescued by witnesses at the lake and trans-ported to hospital.

“It’s not uncommon for us to go to single vehicle collisions, people driving off the road for a number of different reasons,” Richards said.

“It’s a busy highway and you’ve got to take that into consideration while you’re travelling.”

While Wall hopes his friend will recover from the frightening inci-dent, he’s thankful no one else was in the truck.

“If anybody had been with him they would be dead for sure, it’s so caved in, and the camper is split,” said Wall.

“Everything’s a total write-off.”

On Saturday, the City of Port Alberni will recognize Angel Mag-nussen with her own day of honour.

“Angel’s Day” was proclaimed to support the 19-year old in her efforts to help make life a little easier for children in hospitals.

Angel was born with Down’s Syndrome and has lived with multiple health issues, including obstructive sleep apnea, juvenile arthritis, diabetes, reflux dis-ease, thyroid disease and cardiac arrhythmia.

Most recently, she has under-gone five jaw surgeries over the past 15 months. Her jaw has been wired shut and just this week the wires were cut and replaced with elastics.

The surgery on Angel’s jaw was recommended to improve her overall health, but at week four, she developed an infection.

“She has been having problems ever since,” said Angel’s mom, Cheryl Magnussen. “She has constant bone fractures and infections.”

Angel is hooked up 24-hours a day for feeding through a gastrostomy tube, as well as daily intravenous treatment of medicine.

Despite this, she continues to help others.

The two established a non-prof-it organization, Hugginz Foun-dation, that provides Angel with meaningful work. She sews customized blankets for children who are facing illness, trauma or the loss of a parent.

Angel does it so other children do not have to fear the hospital,

Magnussen said.“She amazes me with how

much she does everyday,” Mag-nussen said.

“In the morning she goes out to the studio and sews while the nurses give her IV. Then she comes in for a nap and heads back out.”

The main expenses of the foun-dation go towards postage and quilt batting.

With an average of 60 children waiting for blankets at any given time, the cost adds up.

While the Magnussens await approval for charity status, they

are holding a fundraiser on Saturday.

Wings for Angel is a dinner and auction at the Best Western Bar-clay Hotel.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the evening will feature local entertainment and a 50/50 draw. Tickets can still be purchased at the door.

Mars fl ying tanker will be out on Sproat Lake next week before it’s shipped down to naval museum

Philippine bomber in WWII coloursMARTIN WISSMATH ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

The twin Mars bombers don’t look quite the same anymore.

Visitors and residents on Sproat Lake next week will have a chance to see the Phil-ippine Mars bomber out on the water in its original colours.

Both Martin Mars water bombers will be parked at the Coulson Flying Tankers base on Sproat Lake at the end of next week, but pilots will need to taxi the Philippine out on the water first in preparation for its flight south of the border in the spring as part of a trans-fer to the U.S. National Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Florida.

The mighty Philippine won’t be airborne yet, but it will be moved out in front of the Hawaii Mars as the twin flying tankers are parked on land at the bomber base, said Wayne Coulson, CEO of the Coulson Group, which owns and oper-ates the Martin Mars aircraft.

The Philippine Mars has been parked in the back of the base in recent years as it underwent a visual restoration. The famil-iar red and white was stripped off to reveal the bomber’s ori-ginal look.

“It’s painted in the same paint scheme and markings as it was the day it was delivered in 1945,” said Coulson, adding the plane was given a fresh coat.

Along with four other Mars bombers, the Philippine was

originally constructed by the Glenn L. Martin Company for the U.S. Navy for service during World War II.

The Hawaii and Philippine Mars were purchased by Flying Tankers, a consortium of for-est companies, and ferried to British Columbia in 1959. They were fitted with 27,000-litre water tanks for fighting wildfires. The Coulson Group acquired the aircraft in 2007.

The Philippine’s transfer from Port Alberni to Pensacola

has been in the works for the past five years, Coulson said. In exchange for the historic aircraft, Coulson’s company would receive two C-130 Her-cules planes and eight smaller aircraft, which they would then overhaul and sell, he said. If the contract is finalized the bomber would fly down — either directly or with a stop in California — in April or May, 2016.

The Philippine was retired in 2012 after it was inactive for a

number of years. Coulson oper-ated a museum at the bomber base from 2007-12 during the summer months.

A view of the Hawaii Mars in the air was available sever-al times this summer during flights around the Alberni Valley. A group of 14 Chinese pilots and engineers visited Port Alberni in July to learn how to manoeuvre the large plane in preparation for (small-er) flying tankers currently under construction in China.

After the Dog Mountain fire in early July the B.C. Govern-ment contracted the Hawaii Mars for 30 days, sending the water bomber on forest firefighting missions on the Island, the Fraser Valley and the Interior. The Hawaii set a new B.C. Record at a fire near Harrison Lake on Aug. 2, drop-ping 108,000 litres of water in an hour.

The Hawaii Mars’s contract ended on Tuesday without an extension from the province.

Coulson said his company will keep the Hawaii flight-ready for another week in anticipation of a possible short-term contract with Washington State to help fight the Stickpin blaze near the Canada–U.S. Border south of the Okanagan. Then it’ll be parked in behind its twin for the rest of the year.


The Philippine Mars sits by Sproat Lake in July at Coulson Aviation’s bomber base, repainted in its original colours from the U.S. Navy. Coulson plans to put the plane back in the water next week in preparation for transportation to a naval museum in Florida next year. [ERIC PLUMMER, TIMES]

Pier still diffi cult for wheelchairsKRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

Since it was built in 2012, the Centennial Pier has lacked safe accessibility for everyone.

Even with modifications made this week, there are still some who feel the adjustments are not adequate for people in wheelchairs.

President of the Port Alberni Port Authority, Zoran Knezevic, said the design was meant to be wheelchair accessible despite its original purpose for vehicle traffic.

“However, in practice it proved that the angle at the beginning of the ramp wasn’t favourable so people needed help,” Knez-evic said. “The engineers didn’t include all the elements at first because the main purpose was to have enough strength for vehi-cles to get on and off the pier.”

Knezevic said to reduce the angle and lessen the slope, the Port Authority had additional pieces of steel plates added to the ramp on Wednesday.

That evening, however, Bran-di Macdonald, who is wheel-chair-bound, still had difficulties going up and down the ramp.

“They put pieces of steel across where it joins but it hasn’t made it any more accessible,” Kennedy said. “I would be worried for any-one in a manual wheelchair or if I was working with someone in a

manual chair. They wouldn’t be able to get down because push-ing it back up is still very danger-ous and treacherous.”

Kennedy questions the purpose of the pier if it is not available to everyone.

“Brandi wanted to see the Bull-dogs on Tuesday and I had to have two guys on either side of the chair,” Kennedy said. “Why are there benches for people to enjoy as a central place? If it was originally built for fuelling there should have been gates.”

Kennedy said Macdonald can manage easier if she goes down backwards because of the way her chair is balanced, but still thinks the slant and how the ramp is affixed can be improved.

“I would like to see the slope lessened,” Kennedy said.

While the AV Times was at the pier on Thursday with Kennedy, Macdonald and her brother Rylen Pretty, an elderly woman in a manual wheelchair arrived. She was accompanied by another woman who refused to attempt to bring the chair down the ramp.

The three feel this is an issue that should be addressed to allow inclusion in a public space that hosts community events and fea-tures an on-site restaurant and bed and breakfast.

Accused poacher shows up to vacatewarrantALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

Wilson Timothy Jack (a.k.a. Timothy Wilson Jack) showed up at the Port Alberni Law Courts Thursday morning and the war-rant for his arrest was vacated.

Jack was scheduled to appear in Port Alberni provincial court on Wednesday, facing charges under the B.C. Wildlife Act for hunting out of season and unlawful possession of dead wildlife.

Jack failed to appear in court and a warrant was issued for his arrest.

His case is part of an investiga-tion into a wave of illegal Roos-evelt elk killings in recent years.

August 26

Robert John Agricola, 49, plead-ed guilty to salmon fishing with the wrong gear in a closed area. Agricola was commercial seine fishing on June 23 in an area near Port Alberni, part of the Area 23 fishery that was closed at the time, noted Crown prosecutor Sheila Simpson. Fishery officers on patrol located Agricola’s boat in the closed area.

Judge Ronald Lamperson fined Agricola $1,500 due in December. Agricola has two prior convic-tions for illegally fishing, both with small fines under $100.

Allan Donald Romphf, 28, plead-ed guilty to driving while pro-hibited under the Motor Vehicle Act. Romphf was arrested in the early morning of April 14 in Parksville when police ran the licence plates on the car he was driving.

Defence lawyer Peter Hertzberg said Romphf had been kicked out of the residence he was living at when he was driving.

Judge Ronald Lamperson fined Romphf $500 and handed down another one-year driving prohibition.

Brandi Macdonald, in front, gets assistance from her aid, Tracey Kennedy, and brother Rylen Pretty down the ramp to Centennial Pier. The three feel it is still hazardous for wheelchair access despite recent amendments. [KRISTI DOBSON, TIMES]

Iwas looking at the manse garden as I prepare to move away.

I have loved living here in this house and have enjoyed the responsibility of being the stew-ard of this garden.

Tending the plants, enjoying the flowers, harvesting and shar-ing the fruit and vegetables has been a real joy to me. Someone else planted most of these plants. Someone else tended them long before I came along. It has been my privilege to care for them for the last 10 years.

Through this drought, I have saved my dishwater and car-ried buckets to the most fragile shrubs hoping to keep them alive. But soon it will be a task for someone else. I may not even know what happens to the garden.

The Bible uses such agricultur-al images to talk about our lives — how we experience different seasons and how we have differ-ent tasks at different seasons.

For example, the apostle Paul

speaks of a church situation using the metaphor of garden-ing: where one person planted the seeds and another watered it (1 Cor 3:6-7). Neither of those two will be there for the harvest – that is someone else’s task and; in any case, it is God who gives the growth!

Once I had the privilege of caring for some children — but how my life changed! I had been doing a lot of writing but while I had the children, I don’t think I wrote a word.

My time, my energy, my creativity for that season was dedicated to tending the little ones – as you who have children know; it can take up all you have. Eventually, their parents were able to take them again and I had

more time and energy to apply my creativity elsewhere.

And it is good for us to recog-nize these experiences of varying emphasis and vocations.

What is the task for this sea-son? It may not be one that was your focus last season.

Perhaps you have favourite seasons?

Choosing bulbs or seeds and ordering them from the cata-logue, laying out the beds, decid-ing where to plant, planting and watching in anticipation of growth is a lot more fun for me than cutting back and removing dead plants tidying up in the fall.

Some people find carrying for babies very demanding and prefer kids who are a little older and a little more independent. Or they may find teenagers with all their variable temperaments and growing independence a real challenge.

They will be missed dreadfully when they do leave home.

But it is all part of life.

Whether you like the task that is yours now or not, there will be other seasons, other times when your task is different.

The Bible also reminds us that the garden we are given to tend is not ours.

We have been entrusted to be stewards of the garden but ultimately, it belongs to God, the Master Gardener.

Those children may have been my responsibility to care for one season but they had parents and, indeed, were God’s beloved children.

The manse garden may have been “mine” to tend and enjoy for the last 10 years but it belongs to the Presbyterian Church in Canada and ultimate-ly to God as part of creation.

I was only ever a caretaker responsible to the Author of Life.

May each of us be faithful servants acknowledging our accountability and carrying out the tasks as they fall to us each season.

Is Alberni’s Uptown being revitalized?One of Port Alberni’s major

casualties in the 21st cen-tury has been the Uptown

business district. While some shops and res-

taurants have found a niche to thrive in today’s economy, several others have struggled, leaving a succession of empty storefronts that were once filled during the era when forestry drove Alberni’s economy.

A presentation to city council by Kevin Wright, president of the Uptown Merchants Associ-ation, outlined the problem last February with a concerning map of a four-block area along Third Avenue south of Argyle. Twenty one of the section’s lots were vacant, including 90,000 square feet of retail space left behind when Zellers moved out of a large building at Third and Mar Street over two years ago.

The Uptown’s underuse has

resulted in it containing some of the lowest property values on Vancouver Island. While this can be advantageous for someone looking for a deal on a home, the stagnant real estate trend has caused some property owners to leave their lots vacant and dere-lict. It’s likely that the area’s lack of nighttime activity was a factor encouraging a recent spree of graffiti incidents that hit the busi-ness district in early August.

For these reasons the need for Uptown revitalization has been on the municipal agenda for years, leading the city to draft a tax exemption bylaw in 2013 that applies to improvements put into properties in the area. The good news is that development finally appears to be brewing amongst the Uptown’s empty spaces, including a handful of noteworthy initiatives to bring a resurgence to the district.

Walls are already up for what is designed to be a four-storey com-plex at the corner of Argyle and Kingsway Avenue. The $6-million project is being undertaken by the Uchucklesaht First Nation to bring residential units and a cul-tural centre to the site next to the Harbour Quay where the Somass Hotel once stood – a development that proposes to tap a need for “higher-end apartments,” accord-ing to Uchucklesaht CAO Scott Coulson.

Up the hill, a group of residents recently bought an old Canada Post building with plans to spruce up the 30,000 square feet of space and lure new businesses to the Uptown. The federal building has sat vacant since Canada Post moved out in 2008.

Another construction project is underway at Third and Angus Street, thanks to an investment by Alberni residents Stacey and

Franco Gaiga. The two purchased the empty lot last year to build Central Park, a publicly access-ible site designed to offer raised flower beds, benches, tables and a water fountain illuminated by multiple colours at night. To dis-courage misuse, plans include a surveillance camera connected to the Internet, allowing the public to oversee what happens in Cen-tral Park 24 hours a day.

Other efforts to improve the Uptown include the repainting of the old Zellers building last year by its current owner, the Coulson Group of Companies and a cur-rent volunteer initiative by the Young Professionals of the Alber-ni Valley to paint some of the high profile buildings in the area.

While such projects arouse excitement amongst South Port residents, a reality in the city’s distribution of retail options can-not be overlooked. At the north-

west corner of municipal limits – the other end of the city from the Uptown business district – lies a business that has undoubtedly become Port Alberni’s busiest hub for shopping. With low prices, a vast selection of goods and long hours, it’s hard for local-ly owned businesses to compete with what Walmart offers cus-tomers. This is a common dynam-ic among smaller cities and towns across North America.

Can shopping become more evenly spread in Port Alberni to bring life back to the Uptown district, or is there not enough people to attract clientele needed to fill the vacant storefronts?

As is often the case with urban renewal, a combination of developer creativity and com-munity interest will determine what lies ahead for this under-used yet historic part of Port Alberni.

Rangers end Jays’ streakSTEPHEN HAWKINSTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ARLINGTON, Texas — Jose Bautista charged hard and reached down. Toron-to’s right fielder quickly realized that the ball went under his glove and was rolling toward the warning track.

Bautista’s error in the seventh inning led to three Texas runs, as Delino DeShields kept running all the way home, and the AL East-leading Blue Jays closed an otherwise-im-pressive trip with a 4-1 loss Thursday. It ended their five-game winning streak.

“Obviously, the road trip was a successful one. It would have been a superb one if we’d been able to pull that one out,” Bautista said.

“I opened up the score for them. But mistakes hap-pen. I don’t think this loss is going to affect us in any way.”

Toronto went 6-2 on the trip, taking sole pos-session of the AL East lead from the New York Yankees by winning the first two games at the wild card-chasing Rangers.

“I’m very pleased with the way the guys played,” manager John Gibbons said, referring to the trip.Yovanni Gallardo (11-9) threw 5 1-3 scoreless

innings for his 100th career victory. The right-hander gave up three hits while striking out two and walk-ing three on 101 pitches.

The Blue Jays lead the majors with 5.4 runs per

game, and had outscored opponents 54-19 during their recent winning streak.

Gallardo has thrown 13 2-3 scoreless innings in two starts against them this

season.Gallardo became the fourth native of Mexico to win 100 games, joining Fernando Valenzuela (173), Esteban Loaiza (126) and Ismael Valdez (104).

The scooter ran over the out-cropping of a metal railing bolted to the edge of the track and bobbled off course — then slammed into the back of the fastest two legs on the planet.

Bolt’s legs came out from under him and he went down hard and

landed on his backside. Then, smooth as silk, he somer-

saulted backward onto his feet, jogged a few steps, and reached down to make sure his left leg was OK.

He was no worse for wear — reporting just a few scrapes — but figured he’d try to make the evening at least a little more interesting.

“The rumour I’m trying to start right now is that Justin Gatlin paid him off,” Bolt said, while sitting next to Gatlin in the med-allists ’ news conference.

Gatlin’s response: “I want my money back. He didn’t complete the job.”

Indeed, it may take more than just a motivated opponent to finish off Bolt, who now has five gold medals at the Bird’s Nest, including the three he took at

the 2008 Beijing Olympics when he set world records in the 100, 200 and the 400 relay.

The split-second scare with the scooter provided what Bolt’s season-best 19.55 seconds on the track did not.

Namely, drama.This was billed as the second

round of the Bolt vs. Gatlin ser-ies that produced the champion’s grittiest win four nights earlier. Bolt’s 0.01-second victory in the 100 came despite a year’s worth of injuries and off-form run-ning that continued all the way through the semifinals.

Like most sequels, Part II didn’t live up to the original.

Running out of Lane 6, Bolt got off to a good start and worked smoothly into the curve, making up the lag to the runners to his outside and gathering steam as

he headed into the turn. Leading at the halfway point, he opened a three-body-length lead over Gat-lin early in the stretch, and the last 50 metres were simply for showing off.

Bolt coasted in and still won by 0.19 seconds. The winner used his thumbs to point at himself as he crossed the finish line and flashed his index finger: He’s No. 1 — just in case anyone had any doubts.

“What I really celebrated was, Justin Gatlin said earlier in the week that he was going to bring out something special for the 200 metres,” Bolt said.

“I was like, ‘You don’t talk about my 200 metres like that.”’

Gatlin came into world cham-pionships dominating the sprints while Bolt was stuck on the side-line. The American was a favour-

ite in the 100 metres, and Bolt took umbrage to the idea that Gatlin’s stumble over the last 15 metres gave that race away.

“Disrespectful,” Bolt called that notion. “I came out here and got it done.”

Once the 200-meter heats began, Bolt started getting stronger and Gatlin, by his own admission, started feeling tired.

“I’ve beaten him once before, and I hope to do it again,” Gatlin said about a 0.01-second victory at a meet in Rome in 2013. “He’s such a showman. You’ve got to give it to the guy for staying at the level he stays at. That’s hard to do.”

Gatlin’s silver added to gold medals won by two Americans — Christian Taylor in the triple jump and Allyson Felix in the 400.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might have an unusual amount of demands coming from others. You will want to confirm that you are on the same page as them; otherwise, you could witness some uproar. A meeting will be the perfect way to make what you want happen. Tonight: TGIF!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)You might feel as if you are being pulled in two different directions. You have the ability to charm someone into follow-ing your chosen path. Despite this ability, give this person the space to make his or her own choices. Be willing to listen. Tonight: You are the lead actor.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could be in the position of having to explain your perspec-tive to someone who has cho-sen to look at a situation from a different angle. If you are care-ful and choose the right words, you will be successful in getting this person to see your vision. Tonight: Try a new approach.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) One-on-one relating will reveal many differences between you and someone else. Respect

your different views, and know that all of them are coming from a grounded place. Under-stand what your limits are with this person. Tonight: How about a close encounter?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)Defer to others. If you think an idea is off, listen to the logic behind it. If you still feel the same, how you share it will determine its fate. You might want to rethink your approach. Others respond better to you because of your unique style. Tonight: Join a loved one for TGIF!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)Your originality marks your decisions. You don’t need to get to the bottom of a prob-lem right now; just accept it and move on. Let others fuss. Schedule an appointment to get your hair cut or a checkup with your dentist. Focus on yourself right now. Tonight: An easy pace.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)You have an idea that you might not want to share yet, but somehow it could get out. Rec-ognize how many different ways you can handle this information

leak. You also might want to find out the source. Tonight: Dip into the social whirlwind around you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)You could be in the position of handling a lot of personal mat-ters. Why they have landed on your plate might be less impor-tant than the reason for their existence in the first place. Put out the fire, then find out who set it. Remain centered in the midst of a mini-crisis. Tonight: As you like it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)Conversations swirl around you. Some of the talk might be negative, while some commen-taries will express confidence and caring. What you choose to listen to will indicate what kind of mood you are in. Open up to new possibilities. Tonight: Party the night away.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)You have a solid understanding of finances that generally saves you and points to making good choices. However, what sounds good could turn out to be disas-trous. Your antennae might not be picking up the implications of what is occurring. Tonight: Treat a pal.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)Use the day and the upcoming Full Moon to energize yourself to the max. When you are posi-tive and revitalized, you’ll feel as if you can accomplish any-thing. Do your best to remain upbeat no matter what comes down your path. Tonight: Head in a new direction.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You could be picking up on so much pessimism that you might want to disappear. Isolating yourself will help, yet you will have little say in the events that follow. What is more important to you -- being involved, or staying away from negativity? Tonight: Vanish if you want.

GEORGE FREDERICH SINGBEIL Born: September 9, 1927

Place: Brokenhead, Manitoba

George Frederich Singbeil passed away with his children by his side in West Coast General Hospital on Monday, August 23, 2015.

Predeceased by his wife, Elaine, he is survived by his sister Dorothy Steinke and brother Raymond Singbeil, sister-in-law Audrey, son Douglas (Helen), daughter Nancy, and grandchildren Steven, Lisa and Kathleen, as well as by his many nieces and nephews.

George was born in Brokenhead, Manitoba on September 9, 1927 and grew up on the family farm in Beausejour, Manitoba. When he left the farm to find his fortune, he turned to Toronto, where he trained to be a welder. His first job was with the A.V. Roe Company – maker of the famous Avro Arrow. However, he didn’t stay in Toronto for long, and accompanied a friend to Edmonton, where he gained employment as a welder in the newly developing oil and gas industry. It was there that he met his wife Elaine at a YMCA/YWCA youth work group, the start of a wonderful marriage that lasted for more than 50 years. George and his young family then moved to Grande Prairie, Alberta, and Fort St. John, BC, before return-ing to the family farm in Beausejour to try his hand at dairy farming.

In 1966, George and his family relocated to Port Alberni where George worked as a welder at the pulpmill until his retirement. He and Elaine built their dream house at Sproat Lake in 1974, where they enjoyed entertaining family and friends, and where George lovingly cared for Elaine in her final years. George was proud to have remained living in his Sproat Lake home until his final illness.

George was a true craftsman – at work as a welder, and at home, where he built three houses for his family. He liked nothing better than working in his shop and built several beautiful pieces of furniture for himself and his children. He was a gentle person, and was never heard to raise his voice in anger. His love for Elaine was extraordinary, and he often said that they never had a serious argument through-out their entire marriage. He missed her greatly when she passed away.

Over the years, he made many close friends and enjoyed their frequent company. Floor curling with the Sunshine Club was a favorite activity in his later years. He passed away after a short illness, and will be greatly missed.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 11:00 AM on Monday Aug 31, 2015 at the

Cedar Grove Reformed Church (4109 Kendall Ave). Donations in George’s memory to the West Coast General

Hospital Foundation would be appreciated in lieu of flowers.

L’HEUREUX, PAUL SR

Passed away on Thursday, August 20, 2015 in Nanaimo, BC, at the age of 89 years.

Predeceased by wife Lina; daughters Hilda, Anne and Carmen; son Arthur; siblings Stan and Aline.

Survived by children Rhon (Karen) of Nanaimo, Laurent (Joni) of Sicamous, and Paul (Krista) of Ladysmith; sisters Louise of Surrey, and Bernadette of High Prairie; grandchildren Douglas, Shannon, Barbie, Melissa, Michael, Kris, Lindsay, Dennis, and Rhonda; 14 great grandchildren; numerous nieces and nephews; as well as special friend Mary.

Born in Saskatchewan, Paul Sr moved to the Alberni Valley in 1957 to work on the construction of the Pulp and Paper Mill. Once the construction was finished, he became permanently employed there for over 30 years. Paul loved being in the outdoors and as an active man of many talents, enjoyed activities including fishing, camping, hunting, traveling in the family motorhome, gardening – of which tomatoes were his specialty – and being an active member of the Notre Dame Roman Catholic Church parish and an honorary member of the Knights of Columbus.

A Prayer Service will be held at 7:00pm, Friday September 4, 2015

at the Chapel of Memories, 4005 6th Avenue, Port Alberni.

A Funeral Mass will be held at 11:00am, Saturday, September 5, 2015 from

Notre Dame Roman Catholic Church, 4731 Burke Road, Port Alberni with Father Stephen Paine officiating.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Paul Sr’s memory may be made to the Alzheimer’s Society 300-828 W. 8th Avenue, Vancouver, BC V5Z 1E2. Stories and condolences may be left for the family by visiting www.chapelofmemories.ca

ofBrian Ryles 1975 - 2015

Dear Son and Brother...We think of him in silence, No eyes can see us weep,

But still within our aching hearts, His memory we keep...

Love, Mom & Brothers, Doug, Mike & Dan, Sister Denise and families.

Evening watercolour paint-ing for beginners at Echo.

This class is meant for adults who are interested in learning the basics of watercolour paint-ing; beginning with monochro-matic (one colour) painting to two colour and then onto multi-colour paintings proceeding in a step-by-step fashion so that each technique is understood before we move onto the next. We will paint a variety of sub-jects from still life to landscape culminating in an optional sub-ject for the last class. The pace of this class will be relaxed so that each person can proceed at their own speed. A supply list is available at Echo. Instructor: Cynthia Bonesky.
