A new Liquefied Natural Gas project north of Victoria will help
the proposed facility south of Port Alberni, says the CEO of
Steelhead LNG..
Steelhead LNG announced a new agreement Thursday with the
Malahat First Nation for a floating liquefied natural gas facility
on the shoreline of the Malahat Nations recently acquired Bamberton
property south of Miller Bay, about 40 kilometres north of
Victoria.
The proposed facility would ship up to six million tonnes per
year of LNG to markets in Asia with a floating facility moored to
the shoreline supported by min-
or land-based infrastructure. The 30-year-project would create
200 high-paying long-term positions once the facility is
operational, according to a press release.
As a BC-based LNG develop-
ment company, we are commit-ted to early engagement with First
Nations and getting things right, stated Nigel Kuzemko, CEO of
Steelhead LNG. We look forward to working with the Malahat as we
consider the wide range of cultural, environ-mental, technical,
financial and social matters of importance to the Nation,
neighbouring First Nations and communities, and BC residents as a
whole.
Steelhead LNG announced last year a $30-billion proposal for a
major land-based LNG facility at Sarita Bay, 75 kilometres
south-west of Port Alberni, in partner-ship with the Huu-ay-aht
First Nations. That facility would be much larger than the
Malahat
project, with an expected cap-acity to ship 24 million tonnes
per year. It would create 400 permanent jobs over 25 years of
operation, according to the company. In July 2014 Steelhead applied
for a licence from the National Energy Board to ship 30 million
tonnes of LNG.
Kuzemko said the smaller, floating LNG facility could be built
first to support the costs of a pipeline crossing the Georgia
Strait, which would continue from the Malahat shoreline across
Vancouver Island to service the proposed facility at Sarita Bay.
Kuzemko hopes the Malahat project can get started before the end of
the decade.
The two projects in effect
share the cost of the pipepline and therefore increase the
chance of success, Kuzemko said.
When the two LNG projects are operational, about one quar-ter of
the natural gas product piped across to the Island would be
liquefied for shipment from the Malahat facility, and the majority
would be transported to Sarita Bay, he explained.
Steelhead LNG have kept discussions with the Malahat Nation
confidential for the past 13 months, Kuzemko said. The company has
been working with the Huu-ay-aht First Nations for about 18 months,
he added.

KRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
Six years ago Janis Joseph recognized a need in the com-munity
for a place where chil-dren and youth with behaviour-al challenges
could learn real-ity-based life skills. After years of hard work
and research, Joseph, a 15-year behaviour consultant, is seeing her
vision become a reality.
In early September, Joseph will open the doors to Fresh Steps
Ability House, a comfort-able centre aimed at empow-ering youth to
gain skills and confidence in society as they enter adulthood.
Joseph also wants to help par-ents maintain a healthy home life
for families.
Josephs mandate is to use community resources as edu-cational
tools. For example, if a child has anxiety about ordering a meal at
a restau-rant, she will guide him or her through the process.
In the end, I want them to be able to engage with cus-tomer
service, instead of just in a basement with building blocks
pretending it is a drive-through, Joseph said.
She has also worked with children who excel in garden-ing and
baking and believes their confidence and self-es-teem can be raised
to the point that they can give back to the community.
There is no reason these kids cannot be trained as a land-scaper
or a baker to sell their products and services, Joseph said.
Every child has a gift and it might not be academic. There is a
world of opportunities
open to them. They will have hands-on
experience with as much time needed right in the house, Joseph
said.
Josephs concern is that some of these youth are not receiv-
ing the attention and oppor-tunities they need in the school
system and hopes to include her programs in their reduced school
day.
I noticed with the gradual entry program that behaviour
challenges are bigger than the aids can handle, Joseph said.
Kids are not at school as long and go home without any tools to
work on behaviour skills. So, my vision is for this house to be a
part of the school day for kids.
Ability House will be open to both girls and boys aged zero to
18 with behavioural challenges
or special needs. Some of those challenges in todays world
include anxiety, nutrition and healthy eating, impulse con-trol,
anger and fears. Expectant parents who know they will be having a
special needs child will also have the opportunity to learn
parenting skills and find support.
Saturdays will be open for the Unplugged Club, aimed at the
screen kids who wake up to electronics. They will learn alternate
ways of spending quality free time.

Hawaii Mars too slow, too big, too expensive to t into re ghting
operations, says B.C. government
No plans to extend Bomber contractERIC PLUMMER ALBERNI VALLEY
TIMES
With days left for a 30-day contract to use the Mars water
bombers on forest fires
the province has announced no intentions of extending the
agreement.
The arrangement between Coulson Flying Tankers and B.C.s
Ministry of Forests expires on Tuesday. Over the last month the
Hawaii Mars Bomber was deployed from its Sproat Lake base several
times, but more fire-fighting action past Aug. 25 now seems
unlikely.
It has not been decided as to whether there will be a further
extension to the contract, said the provinces chief fire
informa-tion officer Kevin Skrepnek in an email to the AV Times.
Any deci-sion to extend the contract will be based on the projected
level of fire activity and operational need.
In recent weeks there has been no shortage of fire activity
requiring the 27,200-litre drop capacity of the Mars bomber.
On Aug. 2, the aircraft dropped 108,000 litres of water in one
hour on a wildfire by Harrison Lake in B.C.s interior a provincial
rec-ord for fire suppression, said the bombers owner Wayne Coulson.
On Aug. 4, the massive World War 2-era plane dropped on sev-eral
fires sparked by lightning around Great Central Lake, and last
month another mission was
made to attack a Blaze near Nel-son on July 18.
The aircraft has fought forest fires on Vancouver Island and
throughout North America for decades. It sat idle in 2014 after the
province opted for a contract with smaller air tankers provided by
Abbotsford-based Conair. The Mars bomber was reconsidered by the
province this spring when a severe fire season was fore-casted. So
far this prediction has proven accurate with over 292,000
hectares of forest burned. Last year, 369,169 hectares were
affected the most B.C. had seen in over a decade. Despite the
con-tract with Coulson, the bomber was left on Sproat Lake while a
nearby forest fire quickly grew to 350 hectares on the lakes
shore.
Only one air tanker dropped on Dog Mountain the day the fire was
discovered on July 4, and over the following week the prov-inces
air suppression resources were focused on larger incidents
elsewhere. After days of the Dog Mountain blaze growing,
Min-ister of Forests Steve Thomson announced the Mars would be
deployed July 8.
We felt we had the appropriate resources available, but given
the extraordinary fire situation this year that were in, were
looking to every possible tool with our toolbox, Thomson said in an
interview last month.
Among the 16 air tankers the province has at its disposal,
the
Mars bomber appears to not be the preferred choice, according to
a comparison made by the Min-istry of Forests this summer.
Because of its relatively slow airspeed and large size, the
Martin Mars is more difficult to integrate into B.C.s firefighting
operations, including close air support for firefighters on the
ground, stated a July 10 release from the provincial
department.
The current standby cost for the aircraft is $15,000 a day, plus
$6,000 a hour for flight time and costs of approximately $5,000 in
fuel for each hour in the air, stat-ed the province.

It took Joseph extensive leg-work to find the right house, but
she recently signed a lease with the building of the former
Ladybugs Child Care Centre on Gertrude Street.
It is complete with all house-hold amenities including a full
kitchen.
I didnt want it to be clinical, Joseph said.
I wanted a house where kids could walk through the doors without
fears and feel confident learning new skills in their own space. It
is also a
place where parents can come to share experiences without having
any fingers pointed at them, knowing it is safe and
confidential.
Joseph said parent involve-ment is critical.
It is a family issue, not just the child, she said. I want to
help families with lifestyle changes.
The front of the house will be managed by Melissa Turn-er, a
former Residential Care Aid, wife and mother of two children.
The two struck up a friend-ship in the playground of their
childrens school and when Joseph knew she could not operate the
house on her own and Turner was looking for work, it turned into a
perfect match.
I will be doing a bit of every-thing, helping with life skills,
baking, reading and running the office, Turner said.
The partners will host an open house in October for the
crea-tivity-based learning centre, but before then, Joseph can be
reached at [email protected].

Huu-ay-aht First Nations announced their support for the Malahat
project hours after it was revealed on Thursday.
We support what our part-ners are doing and stress that it does
not take away from what is happening between Steel-head and our
Tribe, stated the HFNs chief elected council-lor, Robert Dennis, in
a press release.
Both projects will continue moving forward, with the Sarita Bay
project now in the
feasibility phase. The Huu-ay-aht attached 11
conditions to the Sarita Bay project when it was approved at
their Peoples Assembly in
November 2014. The conditions consider the
environmental impacts and cultural values of the Huu-ay-aht,
said Dennis. For the project to continue, Steelhead LNG would need
to carry out environmental best manage-ment practices to minimize
the facilitys disturbance of the land and wildlife, he said.
To preserve sacred sites around Sarita Bay an archeo-logical
impact assessment may be required, Dennis noted.

High levels of bacteria were detected in the water at the Canal
Beach pier this summer, leading Island Health to advise against
swimming at the site. [ERIC PLUMMER, TIMES]
Health advisory remains for beachERIC PLUMMER ALBERNI VALLEY
TIMES
The water at Canal Beach is still not safe for swimming, based
on recent samples analyzed by Island Health.
Since the beginning of August Port Albernis new beach has been
among a handful of public sites on Vancouver Island not deemed
suitable for water activity due to high levels of bacteria. The
no-swimming advisory was issued after enterococci levels came in
above Island Healths threshold for healthy water from two
con-secutive samples taken on July 21 and 27. Another sample on
Aug. 4 passed, but the most recent testing from Aug. 10 has forced
the advis-ory to remain over the weekend.
Island Health normally deems
salt water safe for swimming if less than 35 enterococci
particles are found in 100 millilitres of water. Since June 5 some
samples from the Canal Beach pier have exceeded this, rising to as
high as 600 particles in July 27. The Aug. 10 test revealed an 85
enterococci level. Three other locations at the beach have passed
testing this summer.
Valerie Wilson of Island Health communications said the bacteria
can become elevated from a num-ber of causes, including water foul
droppings or hot weather.
You could get a gastrointestinal illness, something like
diarrhea, ear infection, throat infection, that kind of thing, she
said.

The term Drone has been used a lot in various media resources
recently. By definition, a drone can be much more than what most of
us think of, and in this case, the focus is on drones that are
Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) , which are power driven aircraft,
other than a model aircraft, designed to fly without a human
operator on board.
Transport Canada is respon-sible for establishing, man-aging,
and developing safety and security standards and regulations for
civil aviation in Canada, and this includes unmanned civil
aviation. The Transport Canada website is helpful to anyone wanting
to know more about the law surrounding UAVs. Addition-ally,
Transport Canadas web-site notes that it is currently reviewing
regulations and exploring changes that will address the growing
popularity and economic importance of UAVs and integrate them
safely into Canadian airspace.
While there are now count-less videos from unique and amazing
perspectives being brought to us by operators of UAVs, there have
been concerns raised as some UAV operators have not considered the
nega-tive impact of their use of
UAVs in the wrong setting or circumstance.
NBC news reported on July 15 that drone action grounded
firefighting aircraft around a wild fire in San Bernadino,
California, quoting Battallion Chief Marc Peebles, as stating that
the drones definitely con-tributed to the fire hopping the freeway
and gave chase to firefighting aircraft.
Unfortunately, this trend was repeated in our own province on
Aug. 16 when aircraft fight-ing the Testalinden Creek fire south of
Oliver, B.C., had to be grounded for several hours due to a drone
operating in the area.
Earlier in August, the same thing happened to crews fight-ing
the Westside Road wildfire near Kelowna. Additionally, on August 3,
a drone missed the windshield of a Seair seaplane by just ten feet
as it was landing near the Van-couver International Airport and
RCMP in Richmond were already investing a report of a drone flying
dangerously close
to landing planes at YVR just weeks earlier.
The threat primarily exists from mid-air collisions and
avoidance that could have catastrophic results for flight crews and
those on the ground.
Transport Canada empha-sizes safety in the use of UAVs and will
investigate incidents reported to the department through one of
their inspectors. Local police may also verify if other laws were
broken, such as those in the Criminal Code. At this time, there
does not appear to be any precedent where a UAV operator has been
crimin-ally charged.
Despite this, there is a range of possible criminal offences
that could be investigated and eventually prosecuted if all
necessary elements are proven. At one level, the act of wilfully
interfering with the lawful use and enjoyment of property, known as
Mischief, could be made out. If their lawful use and enjoyment of
property is negatively affected because of that action they should
call police and let police investigate.
That scenario could possibly become more concerning if the drone
or UAV continues to show up at someones residence, may be noticed
at their place of work or other location where
they may be and an investiga-tion may broaden to consider
Criminal Harassment under the Criminal Code.
In terms of investigations of drones entering airspace near
airports and around such things as fire operations and if it can be
proven that an act showed a wanton or reckless disregard for the
lives and safe-ty of other persons criminal negligence on the part
of the identified UAV operator may be made out. In all cases,
everyoneis reminded to let the police or Transport Canada
investigate and not to take matters into their own hands.
Flying into restricted airspace (which could include an
airport,or for example, the airspace above and around forest fires)
with a drone or UAV, could net the individual operator a fine of up
to $1000.00 from Transport Canada inspectors. If the oper-ations
include commission of a criminal offence, the penalties could be
even more severe.
If you would like more information about UAVs, the Transport
Canada web page is recommended. If you wish to make a complaint you
can con-tact Transport Canada at [email protected] or contact your
local the Port Alberni RCMP Detachment.

Dating site reveals online dangersMarvin Gaye may have heard it
through the grapevine back in the day.
But today, its bad vibes from the Dark Web that have left
Can-adians about to lose their minds over relationships gone
sour.
The 9.7-gigabyte data dump of confidential Ashley Madison
cus-tomer information, courtesy of a blue-nosed band of hackers
with a hurt on for cheating dirt bags, has the owners of email
addresses ending in .ca squirming over their errant mouse pads.
More than a few cheating hearts can expect to be cryin a river,
as Aerosmith might put it, while say-ing sorry for being so
untrue.
Customers of the worlds lead-ing married dating service for
dis-creet encounters the site boasts nearly 39 million worldwide
rue the day they bought into the slo-gan Life is Short. Have an
affair. They never counted on signing on for an outing as well. The
hack-ers have now shared customers names, email addresses, home
addresses, sexual fantasies and worse for all the world to snigger
at.
So much for putting any faith in a company that traffics in
infidelity.
Yet this cloud of two-timing gloom has a silver lining, however
tarnished. It serves as a caution-ary reminder that Canadians
tend to take Internet security for granted, and companies have
little incentive to let us know when theyve been hacked. The
Toronto-based cheating site is just the latest victim that
sud-denly has some explaining to do. But broadly speaking we dont
know how secure corporate Canada is because companies arent
required to report security breaches. Many dont, preferring to pull
a silken sheet of commer-cial silence over any unfortunate
incidents.
Happily, that will change when the new Digital Privacy Act comes
into effect and throws open the bedroom windows, as it were. Passed
in June, it requires com-
panies to notify customers speed-ily about breaches that create
a real risk of significant harm, and tell customers what they can
do to mitigate the damages. Signifi-cant harm includes identity
theft, financial loss, damage to reputa-tion, damage to a persons
credit rating and loss of property.
Companies that violate the act face fines up to $100,000.
But the act wont come into force until Ottawa crafts
implementing regulations. That wont happen until federal privacy
commis-sioner Daniel Therriens office is consulted, along with the
private sector and other stakeholders. With a federal election
campaign underway, theres no real time-
line. A new government will have to prove it is up to the
job.
When the public reporting regu-lations do come in, however, they
should be demanding, and backed up by sufficiently robust fines to
compel compliance. Protecting customers data is a big invest-ment
in terms of time, human resources and money. Most com-panies know
their reputations are on the line and will do the right thing. But
some will need a force-ful regulatory prod.
Ashley Madisons rueful clients are the living proof that doing
the right thing doesnt always spring to mind.

Hockey School instruction at the Alberni Valley Multiplex as

Bulldogs main camp starts Monday
ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
The Alberni Valley Bulldogs have two events occurring this week
adding to the excitement thats building for the 201516 season and
main camp, which opens on Monday.
The Bulldogs currently have 13 returning players and new
recruits that asked to come in early to help with the annual
Bulldogs Summer Hockey School, which is currently running at the
Alberni Valley Multiplex all week until today.
Typically we get four or five players that want to come in early
to help with the hockey school and work with the local minor hockey
players, said Bulldogs head coach and gener-al manager Kevin
Willison.
The fact that we had such a great response this season speaks to
the character of this years team as all the players cant wait for
the season to begin.
Once the week-long hockey school draws to an end, all the
players will focus their efforts for one more Bulldogs commun-ity
event before they hit the ice for main camp on Monday. And that one
event is the Fourth Annual Bulldogs Season Kick-off Golf Tournament
this Sun-day, Aug. 23rd with a 1 p.m. shotgun start.
For the golfers, its a fun, pressure-free Texas scramble format
with each group being paired up with at least two Bull-dogs
players. A full 18 holes of golf and a steak dinner will be served
at the Alberni Golf Club (with a reduced rate for season ticket
holders and Alberni Golf Club members).
Adding to the event are some prizes courtesy of Will Pulford,
Van Isle Ford, and Pacific Chev-rolet, including closest-to-the-pin
prizes and door prizes.
There is a dinner-only option

for the non-golfers that still want to come out, support the
team, have dinner and meet the staff and the 201516 Bulldogs
players.
As in past seasons, the Bull-dogs coaching staff will be naming
the captain of the 201516 squad at the dinner following the golf
tournament this Sunday.

Seahawks set for second preseason gameTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Two teams with more in com-mon than one might think meet in
their second preseason game when Seattle visits Kansas City
tonight.Start with the offensive line:
Both teams have no idea who will be starting when the regular
season rolls around.
The NFC champion Seahawks have tried five options at left guard
in camp, the latest move taking right tackle Justin Britt and
sliding him over, all while converted defensive lineman Drew Nowak
tries to play centre. The Chiefs have had a different front five
every week in practice, and are now without left tackle Eric Fisher
because of a high-an-kle sprain, and right tackle Jeff Allen
because of a knee injury.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You could be in a place where you feel
oddly out of sorts with several people. The real issue is the
unknown of how long it will take until you feel comfortable with
this group again. Loosen up and relax as much as pos-sible.
Tonight: Make time for a one-on-one chat.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)You mean well, but someone else might
not have the same intentions. Open up your baby blues to see what
is happen-ing. Ask important questions, but understand that you
might be uncomfortable with the answers. Use care with anyone you
meet today. Tonight: Out and about.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You have received a sufficient amount of
flak in your life. Quite clearly, you might want to head in a
different direction. For some reason, though, you could feel
obligated or locked in. A friend will help you get through this
maze. Tonight: Make it an early night.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)You might be in the mood to have fun,
but you probably
wont want to get into anything too crazy. A boss or higher-up
could cast a shadow on that idea. Be realistic and deal with this
person accordingly. There is always time for fun later. Tonight:
Accept an invitation.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)You have a strong inclination to preserve
the status quo, espe-cially today. Should you sense a setback in
your plans, you could become frustrated and retreat. Many of your
friends could be shocked by your immediate reaction. Tonight: By
all means, entertain from home.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)You could see a problem arise from out
of the blue. How you deal with this matter will depend on your
desires and objectives. Trust yourself to accept a little bump in a
rela-tionship and know how to keep it all together. Tonight: Go to
a favorite haunt with a friend.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)You have a tendency to overin-dulge. You
could get upset with someone you really care about. You also might
be in a situation where you have the ability to make an adjustment
but dont
want to. In any case, reach out for more information. Tonight:
Play it easy.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)Your ability to get past an immediate
issue will pay off. Others might struggle with the situation, but
you wont. In your mind, you have created your own boundaries. Cut
loose if you feel the need to. Someone close to you might want your
time. Tonight: Let it all hang out.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)Be wary of anyone you meet right
now, as people might not be who they project themselves to be. Take
your time getting to know someone better. You might want to slow
down the pace, even if the other party has different ideas.
Tonight: Give yourself permission to go out.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)Meetings are important, as they could
point to the direction you need to follow. You understand people
far better than you real-ize. You have the ability to get them to
work well as a group. Use that skill, and everyone inevitably will
benefit. Tonight: Take a walk.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)You might want to reach out to a
friend who can be distant. How you deal with this person will
depend on your next inter-action. You could place him or her in a
less significant role in your life without even intending to.
Tonight: Meet up with some work friends.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You have a style that draws many
people toward you. You might wonder what you need to do in order to
gain the type of interaction you want. Do your best to be less
vulnerable. Think carefully about a decision before you follow
through on it. Tonight: Explore a new area.

MARIE LOUISE STONEJuly 2, 1922 August 13, 2015
Louise passed away peacefully at Fir Park Village after a long
and healthy life. Louise was born in Oldham, England to Annie and
Edward Jackson. She is prede-ceased by her husband of 70 years,
Douglas E. Stone; parents Annie Louisa and Edward Jackson and a
niece Elizabeth Zubko; cousins and other relatives in Wales and
England.
She is survived by her children: daughter Faye (Peter) Beyer;
grandchil-dren Peter (Nicole) Berger; great grandchildren Rebecca,
Tyson, and Joshua Beyer; daughter Judy (Bob) Reider; granddaughter
Melissa (Lenny) Von Harrach; great grandchildren Felix, Caspar, Leo
Von Harrach; grand-sons Eric (Jen) and Andrew Rieder; son Doug
(Mirriam) Stone; granddaughter Malaika; granddaughter Kathy (Joe)
Kalugin; great grandchildren Joseph Kalugin, great granddaughter
Sarah (Michael) Messanger; great-great granddaughter Neila Marie
Messanger; step great granddaughter Tasha; step great-great
grandchildren Jaden and Nathan; nieces Sandra (John) Smith, Roberta
Bogle, and Patricia Green.
Louise was blessed with a happy, healthy life up until four
years ago. As a young child, she travelled with her parents all
across Britain as her father was a violinist and conduc-tor. When
she was 8 years old her parents immigrated to Canada and Louise
stayed with her favorite Aunt and Un-cle in England; and for two
years she had a wonderful time with her aunts, uncles, grandparents
and cousins. When her parents were settled in Vancouver; Louise
came to Canada on the ship Alania where she met a lovely family
with two young girls. They became friends and were full of
mischief. She was ill when she landed in Halifax, but after that it
was clear sailing until four years ago.
Louise was a seamstress by trade and during the war sewed
uniforms, tents, etc. She met Doug at a Hallow-een party at the
Church and they were married Jan 31, 1942. After the war they moved
backed to Port Alberni where Doug went to work for his father and
uncle at Stone Brothers Towing Ltd. Doug Jr. is still employed at
Pacific Towing; Mum was in the Hospital Auxiliary; was a great
cook, gardener, seamstress and loved being at their cabin at Sproat
Lake.
We want to thank her niece Sandra for all her visits. Mom did
enjoy them. We would also like to thank the staff at Fir Park
Village for all the very caring, compassionate care she received
there. There will be no service at Louises request.
A family gathering will be held at a later date.
Baker, Barbi Dee (McKamey)July 29, 1964 August 10, 2015
Our beautiful Barbi, a true living angel, was taken from us too
soon. She passed away peacefully at the age of 51 on August 10,
2015 after a 2 year battle with cancer. She fought the disease with
grace and courage, and all the while never lost that big beautiful
smile. She was a sweet loving soul, and will be missed by so
many.
Barbi was born in Port Alberni on July 29, 1964 to Wayne and
Joyce McKamey. After graduating from Alberni District Secondary
School in 1982, she went on to become a hair stylist, dental
assistant, and fi nally an education assistant, her true calling.
Barbi made a career of working with children and in doing so
changed the lives of so many. She had a way of making everybody
feel important.
On April 15, 1992, she married her high school sweetheart
Darren. Together they created a partnership of love, laughter, and
travel that spanned 34 years. Although their time together ended
too soon, Barbi and Darren shared more love than many do in several
lifetimes.
Barbi leaves behind her husband, Darren; her parents, Wayne and
Joyce McKamey; sisters, Brenda McKamey (Mark) and Bridgette
McKamey; brother, Bryce McKamey (Amanda); Bob Smith;
sisters-in-law, Karie McNichol and Jodi Oliver (Bruce); nephews,
Brock, Mathew, Cody, and Luca; nieces, Sarah and Brooklyn; numerous
aunts, uncles, and cousins; and of course, all of her loving
friends.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, September 12,
2015 at 2:00 p.m., on the
grounds of the West Coast River Lodge in Port Alberni. This will
be an outdoor event, so please dress accordingly. In lieu of fl
owers, we ask that you make a donation in Barbis name to the BC
Cancer Agency or BC Childrens Hospital.
Barbi, I hope we can all learn a little from the life you lived,
the love you shared, and the light you shone. We were blessed to be
a part of your life. 5290 HECTOR RD- Fri, Aug

EVENING WATERCOLOUR PAINTING 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 Bone-sky. Tues., Oct. 13 to Dec. 8 (no
class Oct. 27) 7-9 p.m. / 8 wk. class /$145
