Cumberland March Band making a mark Scott Stanfield Black Press CUMBERLAND — The ball started rolling last May when Phil Maund, principal at Cumberland Junior Secondary, asked band teacher Joanne Hawthorn to arrange something for this year’s Empire Days parade in the small Comox Valley community. Since that time, the Cumberland Marching Band has become a sizable outfit that is leaving an indelible mark at each of its performances. “It’s been so fantastic,” said Hawthorn, whose
group includes musicians from Cumberland, Royston, Vanier Secondary School in Courtenay and Highland Secondary in Comox. “It’s a ton of work but it’s a ton of fun.” According to Hawthorn, it is the only marching band on Vancouver Island. She said the group was the “talk of the Valley” following its debut at the Empire Days parade, winning the $1,000 first overall prize. The band also took part in the Canada Day parade in Courtenay, then performed at the Campbell River
festivities the same day. At Vancouver Island MusicFest July 8 to 10, the group participated in a workshop with the MarchFourth Marching Band of Portland, Ore. As of September, when it formed, the group had raised nearly $30,000. It has received upwards of $21,000 in donations from service clubs and businesses in the Comox Valley. Terry Grant, star of the Mantracker television show, helped raise more than $7,000 at a recent dinner event at the Cumberland

Hawthorn said. Remaining money will help fund a weeklong trip to the 2012 Calgary Stampede. “There’s 350,000 people that watch
that parade, plus it’s televised. We’re really hoping that it brings attention here.” After the fivekilometre parade in Calgary, group

Band looking to expand From Page 2 championships. The Cumberland Marching Band consists of 27 members ranging from 12 to 19 years. Hawthorn would like to see it grow to at least 40 people. Members need a musical background. For instance, they need to know how to play an instrument proficiently. “We’ll take anybody,” she said. “(But) They need to be more than a first-year player.” The program will essentially start from scratch in September, since the band might have doubled in size by that time. For more information, contact Hawthorn at the school at 250-336-8511.

Centuries of stamps, symbols and signatures stamped into silver The last article about Sterling Silver brought in a deluge of questions from readers. Apparently cupboards were emptied, attics searched and basements upturned as treasure hunters eagerly sought out potentially priceless items. Just as with the Antiques Roadshow no doubt there were a few who were disappointed to find that their pieces were actually some kind of base-metal doing a fine job of imitating Sterling. So, to hopefully help you out as you polish off the years of tarnish on your metalware, here are a few pointers to help sort out the real thing from the ‘wannabes.’ While actual Sterling Silver is used in the plating process it is virtually impossible for a refinery to recover it from pieces that have been plated. In fact it can take as little as 40 grams of silver to plate a set of twelve knives, forks and spoons. Picture for a moment, a human hair

in place to guarantee the quality of their silverware and there are plenty of online resources available for anyone who wants to learn more about their items. Most of the websites do not, or will not, give indications of value for your items as they are there for research and are not appraisers. Two of my favourite websites which have marks from all around the world are: the “Online Encyclopedia of Silver Marks, Hallmarks and Makers Marks” at http://www.925-1000. com/ and the people at “Silver Makers Marks” at http://www. silvermakersmarks. co.uk/ Both sites have a vast amount of information not only for Sterling and its equivalent but also markings which help to identify and date your plated wares. Over the last few years the market for plated wares has been really low. Even quality pieces have been regarded as being almost worthless and much has been thrown away. However, people have recently begun to realize that silver plated pieces can represent

fantastic value for money. When one considers the price of a new stainless steel knife, fork and spoon compared to a quality antique or vintage plated place setting, one can easily see why ‘plate’ is making a comeback. I encourage anyone interested in learning more about silver and plated wares to visit the above mentioned sites. Collecting can be lots of fun especially if you know what you are doing and with today’s technology there is a wealth of information readily available to all.

Curse of the tropics – a glimpse at tropical conservation Campbell Riverite Kirsty Graham has recently completed an undergraduate research project studying tropical conservation in Costa Rica and has written a series of articles on her experience. Kirsty Graham Special to MidWeek Part I When we picture “the tropics”, we picture lush jungles teeming with wildlife, where we can’t hear ourselves think over the sound of bird song. We don’t imagine banana and coffee plantations, ramshackle urban sprawl or clear-cuts. My education thus far has drawn me to wherever the twain shall meet. Conservation biology explores the limits of ecology when faced with human infringement, and tries to find a balance between nature and development. I am fortunate enough to study at Quest University Canada – an institution that encourages wild experiential learning
projects. For my undergraduate thesis, I travelled to Costa Rica for two months. I focused on primate research, but was immersed in a diverse range of conservation projects. It soon became clear that the challenges facing tropical conservation are similar to those here in Canada, including land disputes, ecology versus economy and inadequate environmental education. Costa Rica provides an interesting case because their economy relies heavily on ecotourism. With so much invested in biodiversity,
the pressure is on to develop quick, cheap and effective management plans. As in British Columbia’s own rainforests, it remains to be seen how much we are willing to compromise. To avoid the inevitable sense of overwhelm, there are small changes that individuals can make to chip away at the problem. So next time you visit a tropical country, consider your impact. Although we are encouraged to leave no trace, change will happen when we can take away an appreciation of the awe and splendour of these natural tropical places.
