grandparents and they have tremendous respect for what they’ve experienced and what they’ve survived, and the wisdom that they’ve collected.” That wisdom is often especially pertinent to the students at VAST, which is the school district’s alternative education program. “Many Legion members that we interviewed have very spotty educational paths. They didn’t really love school and so joining the war effort was a chance for adventure and to reinvent their lives with a sense of personal freedom as well as freedom for their country,” Money said.

◆ COVER STORY
Plywood Girls’ war efforts included trio of sisters JACKIE CARMICHAEL SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Just one of many “Rosie the Riveters” who stepped into the workplace when their country asked them to during the Second World War, Jean Chapman Everard Vowel Hargrove has many memories of the era. Now 89, the Port Alberni resident was 16 when she abandoned school books for sawdust at the Port Alberni Plywood Plant, along with her older sisters Lois and Faith. Jean Hargrove had just turned 16 in January 1942 when the Alply plant opened, a month after Pearl Harbour upped the scale of the war and brought the United States into the mix. The plant was in

a hurry to produce plywood to be used for everything from ammunition boxes to airplanes, to support the Allied war effort. Of British, German and French descent, the three Chapman girls together—Jean
was the youngest— formed one per cent of the Plywood Girls workforce in Port Alberni. They tied up their long, wavy brunette hair in kerchiefs as they went off to turn prime West Coast Douglas fir into
something the Allies could use to battle the Axis powers, anything that might bring Port Alberni’s servicemen home. “I was turning sheets .. then I went to the bundling end, they put a strip of paper on each piece of plywood that said ‘OVERSEAS,’”
Jean recalled, hazel eyes alight at the memory. “They made these big sheets of plywood—they were for airplanes, and they were as long as this room,” she said, gesturing the length of her cosy suite at Rainbow Gardens.
Most of the 300-plus workers were young women. “There weren’t any men—the men were gone to war,” Jean said. “We were just there to do our job—I felt like I was contributing.” There was camaraderie amongst
the Plywood Girls, she recalled. “Sometimes at the end of the shift on the fifth day, we’d walk up to the Beaufort Hotel and we’d have a feast—we’d have a steak,” she said. With her 36 cents an hour (42 cents for the later shift) she’d buy clothes; $20 a month for room and board went to her mother and father, former Saskatchewan farmers who had come to Vancouver Island to get out of Canada’s Dust Bowl during the Great Depression. Jean Chapman developed strong muscles and a strong work ethic at the Plywoods. There may have been some longevity attached; the three Chapman girls are still thriving into their 90s. Continued / A14

Alexander JJ Cayer April 6, 1931 – October 21, 2015
It is with great sadness and relief in our hearts that we have to say our final “Good Nightâ€? of Mr. Alexander Cayer. Alex, at the age of 84, passed away peacefully on October 21, 2015 at the Ty Watson House in Port Alberni, B.C. Alex was predeceased by his beloved wife, Beatrice, a.k.a. Bea; his parents; and numerous brothers and sisters. He is survived by his children Linda and Alex (Annette); one sister, Florence; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, grandchildren, great grandchildren and extended family. Alex was born in Ontario and was one of 13 children. He did many different jobs early on in life, but he was a carpenter for most of his adulthood; which is how some of you knew him. Two of you knew him as Dad. Some of you knew him as Alex, your friend, boss, or work associate. Some as Uncle Alex and some of you knew him as Grandpa and Great Grandpa. Some of you didn’t know him at all. I knew him as Pops‌a man full of hardships, life experiences, and stories of years gone by. What he lacked in education, he learned along many different paths in his life. As a result, he was stubborn, battered, hurt, and regretful, but he would not let that get him down. He learned from those paths strength, talent, wisdom, determination, pride, and he gained a sense of humor. But the most important quality he possessed was knowing that he was not a perfect human being and that he had made mistakes along his journey in life. Yes, I saw the bad and the good; we had our moments of the last 25 years. This brings me to the very heart and soul of who he really was‌grateful, generous, kind, witty, playful, and loving! Pops, you are forever missed but you will live on in our hearts forever and ever, until we meet again. We Love You
xoxoxoxo Alex, Annette, Alisha, and Aidan
Following Alex’s wishes, no formal service will be held. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made in Alex’s memory to the Ty Watson House, 2649 – 2nd Avenue, Port Alberni, BC., V9Y 1Z8.

We will take time to pause on Nov. 11 and recall the words from the veterans about why Remembrance Day is important to them: • Tom Price: “It’s important to respect all the heroes who died for our freedom” • Tom Edmonson: “It’s important to remember the people who didn’t come back. I lost a lot of friends”. • Ralph Mortensen:

To the BC Retired Teachers’ Association, thank you for choosing our partnership to receive the ‘Golden Star’ Award and $1000 grant to fund art supplies, a shared lunch together, and student volunteering and visits to the Field of Honour. Thank you to Graham Fox and Sandy Patterson for your commitment to connecting high school students with veterans and supporting the art and writing contests. We’d also like to thank Tim Murphy for overseeing our volunteering to sort the poppies and giving us a tour of the Legion, and to Barrie Ward for the Field of Honour tour. To the members of the local Legion, thank you for your time, honesty and courage to share your stories with our students. You made a lasting impression on all of us, and we felt instantly comfortable with you. Seeing your spirited conversations reminded me of grandparents speaking gently with their grandchildren-many who are now the exact age you were when you joined the war effort.

Interviewers: Ryan Babiak, Kama Money, Susan Salmon, Linda Planes, Ante Parac, Ben Salitter What is one thing you learned from your experience? In war, it’s really the innocent civilians who are the most negatively affected. The civilians and children really take the brunt. What does Remembrance Day mean to you? I have a log book that I re-read, chronicling where men are buried, where they were taken prisoner. I read this to remember my friends who I served beside, and to never forget their sacrifices. Our veterans are getting older, and soon there will be none of us left. We need to make sure our next generations never forget and never let war happen again.

Why did you join the war effort? How old were you? Was 18. Couldn’t join university. I had no money, so joined the military for education during the beginning of the Cold War. What do you want our generation to know? You need to make sure there are no more wars. We have one Earth, one planet. Also to know about the Read the Feed program:

I think we should have students interview the veterans next year so other kids can have the same experience that we had this year. I learned that these people, just like us, went to war to fight for our freedom and sacrificed their lives. Many of them were our exact age when they signed up, which I found surprising. When we were

interviewing the veterans, many showed powerful emotions when they were telling their stories. I could almost see the stories in their faces. Remembrance Day is important to me because it’s important that I remember what they did for us. To keep on remembering each year how scared they were, and what they went through. Natasha Faust, 16, is a student at VAST.
