School district begins curriculum Younger students first to be taught new education model DAVE BRINDLE community@prpeak.com

Ready or not, here they come into a whole new world of learning.

More than 1,000 kindergarten to grade nine students and their teachers across School District 47, along with every school district in the province, are entering uncharted territory wherein lie the mysteries of the new curriculum.

According to Jay Yule, superintendent of schools, teachers are as ready as they can be, and parents have been given as much information as possible about the implementation.

“We have provided a variety of workshops and professional development for teachers and parents regarding the new

redesigned curriculum,” said Yule. “Feedback has been positive as new curriculum seems more relevant and embraces student engagement while giving teachers more latitude and flexibility.”

According to the Ministry of Education, the new model is based on a “Know-Do-Understand” concept, in which students will learn or understand what is being called “big ideas.”

They will understand the big idea through essential topics

and knowledge, doing competencies that are subject specific learning standards, such as math and English, and apply those standards to what they will be able to do. Knowing content learning and doing curricular competencies will give them understanding of the big ideas, according to the ministry.

Some schools and teachers tested the new curriculum in kindergarten to grade nine classrooms last year, including at Kelly Creek Community School.

“One of the things we looked at was the lifecycle of the salmon,” said Kelly Creek principal Bill Rounis.

“Rather than just looking at a picture of a salmon in a book, we head down to the Lang Bay hatchery.

We also had salmon eggs in the school and students

went out and released the salmon.”

According to Rounis, students wrote stories about salmon and talked about salmon counts in order to learn the science and math components.

“We looked at the environment and what factors would create a good environment for salmon,” said Rounis.

One of the concerns expressed by parents, the reporting of grades, has now been addressed by the ministry, according to Yule.

“The new reporting order allows teachers the opportunity to follow the standard reporting mechanisms or choose new reporting methods that better reflect the new redesigned curriculum,” he said.

Yule said the school district’s board of education dedicated an extra $200,000 above the regular profes-

sional development funding to support the implementation of the redesigned curriculum.

Teachers will continue to access those funds to support implementation of the redesigned curriculum and to develop new reporting and assessment processes.

As for the teachers, who are responsible for taking the new curriculum into classrooms, the reaction has been mixed, according to Brooks Secondary School principal Jamie Burt.

“It’s a combination of nervousness and enthusiasm, which is always the case at this time of year because teachers put a lot of pressure on themselves to do everything they can for the kids,” said Burt. “So when there is something new and we haven’t gone through it, I wouldn’t say anxiety, but there’s nervous excitement.”

Shellfish picking activity increases Area beaches coveted by tourists from Lower Mainland CHRIS BOLSTER reporter@prpeak.com

Some Powell River residents are worried that if nothing is done to limit the amount of shellfish being picked from local beaches, soon there may not be any shellfish to protect.

“Just because there are limits does not mean there is a lot of stock,” said local outdoor supply store owner Sam Sansalone.

Sansalone and others are concerned the increase in pressure on regular harvesting of clams and oysters from summer tourism may be putting the fishery in jeopardy.

He said based on the fact that Lower Mainland beaches have already been decimated and closed, he does not trust the federal government’s limits will save Powell River’s beaches.

Throughout the summer there have been reports of tour buses stopping at beaches at Okeover Inlet and Myrtle Rocks Regional Park, as well as groups heading over to Savary Island for shellfish tourism.

At least one Richmondbased tour company has been operating since March, bringing groups of at least 20 people for what the company calls its Sunshine Coast Seashell Tour.

The two-day trip also makes stops along the Lower Sunshine Coast to view local galleries and other attractions. Travellers spend one night in Powell River and then head up to Okeover for oyster picking before heading back to Vancouver.

Fisheries and Oceans Canada officer Ben Rahier,

FIELDING CALLS: Fisheries officer Ben Rahier has spoken with several local residents about the increase in shellfish tourism this summer in Powell River. According to Rahier, those he has checked have been in compliance. CHRIS BOLSTER PHOTO

who works out of the local office in Powell River, said he has been fielding calls all summer from people wondering about the legality of the tours.

Rahier said fisheries officers have routinely stopped and inspected these buses and have found compliance with fishing regulations to

Individuals who hold a valid BC tidal water fishing licence are permitted to take 15 oysters and 75 clams at one time.

No regulations exist in Canada’s Fisheries Act that limit the number of people harvesting a beach at one time, said Rahier.

Sansalone said this is the

“A big misconception is that these people are not being checked and that they are breaking the law, when in fact they are being checked and are not breaking the law,” said Rahier.

crux of the problem. When 40 to 50 arrive on a beach for a harvest, it adds up, he said.

“We simply do not think the stocks will be sustained if this pressure continues,” said Sansalone. “That’s the

biggest concern.”

Rahier said he is not a marine biologist and could not comment on the sustainability of the current recreational harvest.

“There are a lot of people harvesting, but it’s up to fish management to determine if the beach can sustain that level of harvest?” said Rahier.

Rahier said he is not aware of any recent stock assessments done for shellfish on local beaches, but he said Fisheries and Oceans will be meeting with representatives from Tla’amin Nation to establish methods to create these stock assessments in the coming week.

“It’s tough when the concerns are just based on anecdotes,” he said. “The more data, the better.”

One of the problems with current fishery quotas, according to Sansalone, is that they are being set in Ottawa.

“Locals do not have enough voice, so what we’re doing

right now is we’re going to have a meeting,” he said.

“Rather than sitting back and letting fisheries close all our beaches, which will happen eventually if the pressure continues, we can be proactive and set some better limits, whether it’s closing the beaches during the summer or lowering the limits.”

Since the 1960s, Fisheries and Oceans has provided a way for the recreational fishing community to present its thoughts about specific fisheries and areas through the Sport Fishing Advisory Committee.

Sansalone said he is hoping to organize a town-hallstyle meeting that will bring local area committee representative David Burnett to Powell River to hear the public’s thoughts, an initiative supported by Rahier.

“If people would like to see seasonal closures or possession limit changes,” said Rahier, “that’s the avenue people should be using.”

QUICK PEAK Texada funding Te x a d a E l e m e n t a r y School is one of 27 schools in BC to receive funding for energy efficiency in 2017.

The school, which has been considered for closure by School District 47 in the past, will receive nearly $95,000 for mechanical upgrades from BC ’s Carbon Neutral Capital Program.

School districts across the province will use a total of nearly $5 million to fund upgrades that cut greenhouse gas emissions.

BC ’s Ministry o f Education approved School District 47’s application for the funding based on specific needs of the district, cost-saving potential for the Texada school and the energy service provider contributions it made.

The grant will be used to replace the school’s boiler, one of several eligible upgrades that fall under the program, according to School District 47 secretary treasurer Steve Hopkins.

Cut updates BC is reducing the amount of allowable cut on Crown lands on Vancouver Island, in the Great Bear Rainforest and on the Sunshine Coast, minister of forests, lands and natural resource operations Steve Thomson announced Monday, August 29.

Effective immediately there will be a reduction of approximately 263,000 cubic metres for tree farm licence 39, covering more than 360,000 hectares with 148,879 hectares available for harvest.

The new annual allowable cut is set at 1,416,300 cubic metres, which is a reduction from the previous allowable annual cut of 1,680,083 cubic metres set in April, when the tree farm licence area was reduced by an area transferred to Tla’amin Nation.

City struggles to reduce emissions Greenhouse gas levels remain unchanged despite reduction deadline CHRIS BOLSTER reporter@prpeak.com

Progress has been slow on reducing City of Powell River’s greenhouse gas emissions, but a soonto-be-formed committee may help pick up the pace, say city officials.

Emissions from the city’s vehicle fleet and buildings last year remains roughly at the same level as 2014, said city director of planning Thomas Knight.

v v

Knight presented information to the committee of the whole meeting Tuesday, August 30, on actions the city had taken during the past year as part of its requirement in the province’s climate action revenue incentive program, as well as progress made determining a greenhouse gas discharge baseline for the city.

The city will receive approximately $50,000 as a refund of the provincial carbon tax.

“A lot of the actions we take are paper-related: changing bylaws and making grant requests,” said Knight. “Very few are things that really relate to lowering real carbon emissions.”

While the city has complet-

ed its Integrated Community Sustainability Plan last year, a plan that outlines a number of actions that would lower the city’s emission levels, more work is needed to make real reductions, said Knight.

Though Knight said he did not have the exact figure worked out for gas emissions for 2015, he said he does not expect it to be much different than the previous year’s.

Total emissions for 2014 is calculated at 1,213 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent, a measurement of gas emissions, including carbon dioxide, bio-methane, methane and nitrous oxide.

The provincial government has legislated that the city meet reduc-

tion targets of 33 per cent of 2007 levels by 2020.

City vehicle emissions account for the majority of carbon at 69 per cent while the city’s buildings, including the MacGregor Building and Dwight Hall, contribute to 30 per cent. The remaining one per cent is attributed to solid waste, according to Knight’s report. “Given that transportation accounts for the majority of our emissions, it is highly unlikely the 2020 targets will be met,” said Brewer.

Totals for 2015 are expected in November and may help the city’s new sustainability committee move forward on implementing actions from the Integrated

Community Sustainability Plan, said councillor Rob Southcott.

“The plan is good and a great starting point for things to do,” said Southcott, “but progress is not going to happen unless we actually engage it with what we’re doing with the sustainability committee.”

It is expected the working group could form before the end of December.

“A committee with broad representation tasked with ensuring actions outlined in the sustainability plan are implemented could help meet our reduction targets,” said councillor Russell Brewer, “and make our community accountable.”

City of Powell River staff are conducting an ongoing investigation on vehicle speeding in residential neighbourhoods, but are currently not taking any action to address complaints of residents living on avenues in Townsite and Westview.

City director of infrastructure Tor Birtig reported to committee of the whole on Tuesday, August 30, the results of the recent monitoring of speeding and traffic volume on Cedar Street.

Residents along the Townsite road have continued to ask city hall to install traffic-calming measures, including stop signs and speed bumps to stop motorists from cutting down their street to avoid the stop signs on Poplar Street on their way to Arbutus Avenue.

Birtig said the city conducted traffic data collection on the road last May, in addition to investigations in 2015 and 2012.

“I don’t believe there are a lot of vehicles that are taking the shortcut,” Birtig told the committee. “It’s not a lot of traffic.”

Birtig conceded there are times when cars do speed along the road, but he added, “I don’t think there’s anything you can put on the road that is going to stop them.”

Staff determined that peak

CUTTING CORNERS: Cedar Street residents have asked City of Powell River to address the issue of drivers speeding down their street to avoid other Townsite stop signs. CHRIS BOLSTER PHOTO

traffic volume on Cedar was 167 vehicles per day, about 17 cars per hour, and the majority of cars travelled on the street under the posted speed limit, at speeds between approximately 35 to 50 kilometres per hour.

Birtig said staff will continue to monitor driving on Cedar, but traffic-calming measures are unwarranted.

Staff were directed to contact the residents directly with the study’s findings.

Cedar residents, meanwhile, were not the only ones asking the city to step in to reduce traffic volumes and speeds. Harvie Avenue residents in Westview behind Crossroads Village Shopping Centre also sent in a petition signed by 15 people requesting that speed bumps be incorporated into the work currently being done to resurface the road in front of their homes.

According to the petition, residents say there have been “too many accidents in the past with speeding drivers.” The petition does not provide further context.

City councillor Jim Palm, one of several councillors to speak to the issue, said this was not the first time council had heard from the neighbourhood and that the stop sign on the corner of Abbotsford Street and Harvie was placed there after neighbours complained about eight years ago.

“Speeding issues in Powell River are nothing new,” stated Palm. “We deal with this time in and time out.”

Palm warned that a “dangerous” precedent would be set if the city agreed to resident requests for speed bumps.

“If we put speed bumps on Harvie,” he said, “everyone’s going to want them.”

Hegus candidates weigh in on issues Tla’amin Nation voters prepare to elect new leaders CHRIS BOLSTER reporter@prpeak.com

Why are you putting your name forward for hegus?

I am putting my name forward because I am passionate about the Tla’amin Nation and its citizens. We are working together at this monumental time in history. As we start with our new government, we are starting on equal grounds in learning how it will benefit everyone. I know I can work with all of our people to understand this process. It is a very exciting time to be out from under the Indian Act as we proceed into the future on our own terms.

Clint Williams

Why are you putting your name forward for hegus?

I have been so fortunate to be elected for the last four consecutive terms as chief councillor for Sliammon First Nation. A large part of the work over these last

Tla’amin Nation citizens will be going to the polls to cast ballots to elect a hegus and eight legislators on Saturday, September 10.

The election is historic as it will be the first for Tla’amin not directed under the Indian Act. The first nation became self-governing on April 5 when its treaty with the governments of British Columbia and Canada came into effect.

What do you think is the most important issue Tla’amin Nation currently faces?

The most important issue is making sure everyone understands their treaty, from front to back. There is a lot of misinformation among the citizens regarding the treaty that needs to be clarified. We need to understand the laws, governance and lands that we own as a nation.

Everyone needs to be aware of their new government and its structure.

As hegus, what would you do to

eight years has been preparing for self-government.

I have worked alongside our staff and legal teams preparing for the days of implementation of the final agreement. During the planning and preparation for the future we still had to carry on with working through the challenges of the regular day-to-day business of keeping the band operational through some very challenging times. We have successfully navigated through all of the challenges and are proudly a self-governing nation. This new challenge of implementation of the new laws and regulations in this new world is very exciting for me and I would love to follow through and com-

address that issue?

I will ask the nation what it is they want to learn first and present the information in a timely manner. By listening to each and every person, we can begin to move forward together. I will treat everyone with respect, honesty and openness when they come to me with questions or concerns.

If elected, how would you proceed with relations with Powell River Regional District and City of Powell River?

Tla’amin and Powell River have an

plete this work and help to provide a brighter future for our people.

What do you think is the most important issue Tla’amin Nation currently faces?

Proper implementation of the new laws and regulations will be key; they have been developed based on our constitution that was developed by our community, for our community. The constitution, among many things, calls for honesty, transparency, accountability and fair and equal treatment for our people. This is important because our people have recently acquired many new assets and we must ensure they are responsibly man-

Three hegus candidates, Vern Pielle, Clint Williams and John Steven Hackett, are running for the position of the nation’s top leader.

Patrick Brabazon from Powell River Regional District Electoral Area A also shares a good relationship with Tla’amin. We have a good relationship with all our neighbours and there is no intention to change that.

I have known all of them for a long time and we have mutual respect for each other.

aged and fairly distributed when required to do so. It is important that business opportunities and investments are reviewed in a responsible manner and also seeking our citizens’ input.

As hegus, what would you do to address that issue?

Being a part of the team that worked very hard to get our community back on our feet through some difficult years, I never want to see our community be in an awful position such as that again. We are now in such a great financial position and have many new resources we never had access to before.

My commitment is to strong but fair leadership that will look to continuously build

up our assets and provide for a brighter future for our current and future generations. Education, training and effective partnerships will help us grow in many ways; we will always be searching for bigger and better but sustainable business opportunities.

If elected, how would you proceed with relations with Powell River Regional District and City of Powell River?

We have maintained and continued to develop a very active relationship with both the city and regional district. There are many projects we work on as a tripartite government and some we work on sepa-

rately. Collaboration and respect between the tripartite local governments is a must; any new developments or projects that either is considering must be communicated and understood. We meet regularly to plan and prepare for the safety of our communities in the event of a natural disaster, we have developed plans to share resources to help each other out if we are ever struck with such an event. We also meet to review development plans and projects that may benefit all of our communities.

As the Tla’amin Nation, we will continue to participate and continue to grow these relationships as this will benefit us all.

Blessings counted Although investigations are still ongoing, by all accounts of Monday’s plane crash near Safeway, a pilot from Coquitlam, originally from Powell River, may have saved some local lives as his own ended.

David Tetarenko, a 54-year-old man flying a twin-engine PA-30 Comanche to Powell River from Pitt Meadows, died after his plane was seen shaking from side to side before it spiralled and crashed into a wooded area right next to the grocery store’s parking lot.

No fire or smoke was reported coming from the plane before the crash, pointing to a mechanical problem.

Many have already speculated that the pilot, knowing he was going down, made every effort to crash land somewhere that would not endanger other people’s lives. He has been called a hero for doing so.

Whether or not it can be proven that the pilot sacrificed himself to save others, the Labour Day plane crash has rattled the community. As Powell River residents are quick to offer Many have already speculated condolences that the pilot, knowing he was to the pilot’s family, many going down, made every effort of those who to crash land somewhere that witnessed the would not endanger other crash are cont emplating people’s lives. He has been the fragility called a hero for doing so. of life and trying to put the “what if” scenarios out of their minds. It could have been so much worse and thank goodness it was not.

Many people flocked to the site immediately after the crash to see what was happening. Powell River Fire Rescue chief Terry Peters even took to Twitter hours after the crash to implore Powell River residents to please stay away from the scene.

This raises an important point about crash-scene etiquette and protocol.

It is very simple: Stay away from crash scenes unless you absolutely need to be there.

We have teams of first responders who have to do an incredibly difficult job attending to accidents such as these. The last thing they need is crowds of people in their way or complicating matters on scene. Ambulance, fire and police should be commended for their timely and sensitive handling of this unfortunate, devastating event.

We will have time to reflect on the plane crash as Transportation Safety Board of Canada investigates the cause and details. For now we can be thankful the pilot was able to avoid a larger disaster at one of Powell River’s busier intersections. Tragically, it cost him his life.

Library woes at crossroads

By Gino Francescutti I believe support for the Powell River Public Library referendum was a result of many voters not wanting a library at Willingdon Beach. Prior to the acquisition of the section of the Crossroads Village Shopping Centre building, I questioned a City of Powell River councillor on what brought forth the idea to purchase. To my knowledge, no business case/ cost benefit analysis review was carried out prior to purchase.

The city’s capital project plan lists no funding allocation for seismic upgrading of Powell River Recreation Complex, the fire hall or city works yard, all of which have been identified as needing upgrades.

LETTERS » Toxic inn The major issue with the dilapidated hotel at the former Inn at Westview [“Dilapidated hotel taints town centre,” August 31] appears, to me, to be the toxins

mentioned in the article: asbestos in the sheet rock and the black mould.

Toxic dust will become airborne when the building comes down and residents and businesses will be im-

pacted. Unless the building could be encased, or the toxins stabilized during the process?

Not to mention the rats that will flee the scene, as getting into the structure to

deal with them is out of the question, according to the fire chief. (The aerial view of the structure was an eye opener.)

The cost-saving measure of dumping the materials in the

Catalyst Paper Corporation dump in Wildwood is also a question. Shouldn’t the welfare of residents of Wildwood be part of the Catalyst side of the equation?

The summer has been a busy one on the Sunshine Coast, with visitors and residents enjoying the natural beauty of our area, the sights and sounds of our festivals and hospitality of our communities.

I hope that as the evenings get cooler and the ferries less busy, we can look back at a busy, productive and enjoyable summer.

Many issues falling within provincial jurisdiction became the subject of much discussion, chief among them the challenging housing situation facing so many. The news of a senior living in her car in Sechelt and many dozens more living in precarious circumstances prompted the need for a broader conversation about policies and options required.

Town-hall forums in Sechelt and Powell River may be a catalyst for comprehensive action. The town hall for Powell River will be held at 7 pm on Wednesday, September 14, in the Evergreen Theatre at Powell River Recreation Complex.

Sechelt’s air ambulance service was suspended by order

of Transport Canada due to a particular characteristic of the helicopters used by the contracted company. After concern was raised, a temporary exemption was authorized and flights have resumed. Meanwhile, Texada Island remains without this important emergency service.

Vancouver Coastal Health’s unilateral decision to close two public long-term care facilities and to introduce the profitmotive in the provision of care in our long-term care homes has been bluntly rejected by the Lower Sunshine Coast. Now the health authority is threatening that if we don’t accept this proposal, we will get nothing.

Knowing that such a plan will reduce the level of care for residents and that associated jobs will be devalued through lower pay and fewer benefits, other options should be reexamined. Because the land has not been purchased and in light of the minister of health’s claim that the decision had been a difficult one, public options like that exercised here in

Powell River should be given due consideration.

People with disabilities who fall under the Ministry of Social Development are choosing between the necessities of life or better mobility because they will soon have to pay for bus passes from their monthly stipend.

The so-called “bus-pass clawback” has drawn the ire of advocates and pundits from every corner of the province and went into effect as of the first of this month.

My office is open weekdays for advice, advocacy or assistance on issues related to provincial jurisdiction. Please do not hesitate to contact Maggie Hathaway or myself at 604.485.1249.

COUNCIL BRIEFS

Residents question logging Island Timberlands plan to restrict beach access near log sort CHRIS BOLSTER reporter@prpeak.com

Logging near Stillwater Bluffs has some neighbours worried that Island Timberlands may restrict public access to a nearby beach.

Stillwater resident Abby McLennan said the logging activity does not come as a surprise as it is private-managed forest land.

She and others suspect this logging may be the first step in Island Timberlands moving forward with a six-lot subdivision the company proposed to the provincial government with the support of Powell River Regional District (PRRD).

One of several conditions of an original PRRD approval was that the company provide a buffer to the company’s Stillwater log sort and, in that area, a beach access trail. The lot being logged is next to Stillwater Bluffs.

“Now the bluffs are quite popular and are on all the tourist maps,” said McLennan. “People are coming down here and they are going on other people’s property to get to the bluffs, so why not ensure access and solve that problem?”

PRRD Electoral Area C director Colin Palmer said he has not heard any news of the subdivision project moving forward.

“If anyone is clearing land for logging that’s their business because it’s private property, but if they are going to go public with a subdivision, then I’m

sure my contacts with Island Timberlands would contact me,” said Palmer.

The land being logged and potentially subdivided is on the parcel that includes the log sort.

People heading down to the beach and the bluffs currently have to cut across private property, said McLennan.

In 2012, the PRRD board approved a recommendation for conditional support of Island Timberlands’ application to create a proposed sixlot conventional subdivision of parcel d, district lots 1631 and 7702, group one, New Westminster District, plan LMP23245.

In July 2015, Island Timberlands’ then director of real estate Christopher Dawes wrote a letter back to the regional district asking the board to reconsider the access condition.

“This item I have a serious concern upon, as the waterfront areas are all industrial and thus pose a significant health and safety implication,” wrote Dawes. “I understand the desire for public access to the water, particularly in this location, however, I would suggest that be the subject of discussion when the land is developed.”

The regional planner agreed to Dawes’ request and a new recommendation of support was drafted that did not include the beach-access provision. It was brought to the board for support at the board’s August 2015 meeting.

McLennan said she is frustrated with the situation because looking at maps of where the existing trail leads does not present a clear picture. She said the existing trail does not go down into the log sort’s industrial area.

“It’s actually a beautiful trail in the woods that

comes down close to the water in the small, little side cove south of the log sort, quite a ways away from the industrial work,” said McLennan. “It’s not like the trail would pop out right at the log sort.”

against everything I believe in,” she said. “I don’t think she’s the right woman. Yes, it would be great to have a woman president, but not her.”

According to Jacqueline, who does not watch television and allow herself to be drawn into the media frenzy, she does not know much about Trump other than to say, “He’s a buffoon; that’s what he is. Is he more dangerous than Clinton? I don’t know.”

Since Trump started winning primaries, after being written off by political commentators when his candidacy was announced, some attention has been paid to the number of Americans searching “moving to Canada” on search engines and social media.

Singer and actress Barbra Streisand, a staunch Clinton supporter, is one of the highprofile celebrities who have vowed to move if Trump becomes president.

Jacqueline and Mark said

they are confident Trump will not win on Tuesday, November 8, but if he does, Jacqueline said they have a friend who holds dual citizenship coming to Powell River for what might be more than just a visit.

“He is actually coming here just in case Trump gets elected,” said Jacqueline.

Absentee ballots from expatriates and dual citizens are sent to the county, borough or parish election office of their last place of residence in the US. Jen Hawkins is an ex-pat from Missouri who will be voting for Clinton, but can understand the perspective of why some people are drawn to Trump.

“I am related to people who I’ve known all of my life who are going to vote for Trump,” said Hawkins. “Missouri is quite conservative.”

According to Hawkins, she is not completely confident of Clinton winning and draws parallels to president Obama’s campaign of eight

years ago when he was able to get people out who had not voted before. She said she sees similarities in the Trump campaign.

“What’s happened is these people are mobilizing; people who were so turned off by government, they’re coming out of the woodwork, they’re going to register, they’re going to vote for the first time ever because he’s created the political environment for off the spectrum right wing,” said Hawkins. “Those folks are becoming political.”

Meanwhile, Mark said a lot of work is required to undo the damage Trump has done, but he is hopeful his country will overcome it.

“There are a lot of good people doing a lot of good things to counteract the kind of vitriol, hatred and prejudice he’s engendering,” he said. “He is bringing out the worst in people in a lot of ways and appealing to the lowest common denominator.”

If any supporters of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign in the United States live in the Powell River area, according to some American expatriates, they are in the closet.

“I don’t think there are any Trump supporters up here,” said Jacqueline Huddleston, who moved from Washington State to Powell River with her husband Mark in 2009.

Jacqueline said they still, “feel the Bern,” as supporters of senator Bernie Sanders, who lost to Hillary Clinton in Democratic Party presidential primaries.

“I have a friend in Florida who is a Trump supporter and he has been deathly quiet for some time,” said Jacqueline. “There’s such a thing as closet Trump supporters. They secretly support him, but are not vocal about it and are a bit ashamed, or a lot ashamed.”

According to Mark, both he and Jacqueline are alarmed by Trump. He said he will likely support Clinton because “Trump is a disaster.”

Mark is glad to see the latest polls show Clinton in front but that can change very quickly, he said.

Jacqueline, who said she is more left wing than her husband, will not vote for the democrat. According to her, there is no difference between the two candidates running for president.

Ask Your Pharmacist How can I protect my child from head lice?

In order to be healthy and in prime condition to absorb new information, teenagers should sleep between nine and 10 hours per night, according to health experts.

Teens who go to bed at midnight and wake up at 7 am for school are probably suffering from chronic lack of sleep. Staying in bed until 12 pm on Saturday will not help them recover.

During adolescence, hormonal changes affect sleep. Melatonin and cortisol, two hormones that regulate sleeping and waking, can undergo abrupt changes in level.

On top of that, many teenagers neglect sleep due to busy schedules.

A student without enough sleep will have trouble getting out of bed in the morning and may lack concentration or be drowsy, dizzy, nervous, irritable and depressed throughout the day. A chronic lack of sleep reduces learning and memory skills and can have a negative impact on grades.

To restore a normal sleep cycles and improve their academic performances, encourage teenagers to adopt the following good habits: • Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day.

• Turn off all screens, including cellular phones, at least one hour before going to bed.

• Establish a relaxing bedtime routine; try a glass of warm milk, a warm bath and listening to soft music or reading.

• Do not drink caffeine (coffee, tea, energy drinks) after 3 pm.

For teenagers who lack energy despite stable sleep routines, a healthcare professional should be consulted.

Ensuring children consume three healthy meals per day can be a challenge. When breakfast preparation time is short, smoothies provide a healthy solution and a mobile breakfast-to-go.

Drinking smoothies is an excellent way to incorporate more whole fruits and greens into a young person’s diet.

Fruit and vegetable fibre has multiple benefits, especially for intestinal health.

The basic recipe for a healthy smoothie is simple: blend one cup of frozen berries, one cup of plant-based milk (almond, coconut, hemp, rice, etc.) with a couple of pitted dates or one tablespoon of maple syrup.

Adding a small handful of kale or spinach increases health benefits, will not affect flavour and its presence may very well be hidden by the blending process.

Use bananas, plums, pineapples and other fruits in rotation to create a new smoothie every time. Further enhance flavours by adding a tablespoon or two of nut butter or a pinch of cinnamon.

A tablespoon of ground flax or other seeds boosts nutritional values even higher.

Head lice are tiny insects that live on the scalp (a single insect is called a louse), where they lay their eggs (called nits).

Lice are highly contagious and spread very quickly, especially in groups such as schools and childcare centres. Although they cannot fly or jump, they crawl very fast and have claws that allow them to cling firmly to hair.

To reduce the chances of your children catching lice, tell them to avoid head-tohead contact with other kids and not to share combs, brushes, hair accessories, or personal-care items. Keep long hair tied back in a ponytail, braid, or a bun.

Check your child’s scalp every three to four days. Although they are very small (about the size of a sesame seed), lice can be seen by the naked eye. Unless there are a large number of lice on the head, it is much more common to see nits (tiny whitish-grey, yellow, tan, or brown dots) on the scalp than to see lice crawling around.

There are a number of treatments, both prescription and nonprescription, available to get rid of lice, but some should not be used on very young children. Your SaveOn-Foods pharmacist can help you select the right product for your child and can explain how to use it properly and get the best results.

Program promotes education DAVE BRINDLE community@prpeak.com

Some students hope to graduate this year with a high-school diploma, also known as the Dogwood in BC, but they will not be attending Brooks Secondary School. They’ll be completing a program called Connect-Ed. The School District 47 program is free and run out of Vancouver Island University’s Powell River campus.

“It is to support ‘older than high school’ students to complete their diplomas and to make a transition into the post-secondary world,” said Connect-Ed teacher James Hanson.

Hanson is the only staff member at Connect-Ed, teaching students who are 17 years old and older.

“I have a couple of students who just can’t do Brooks, and they just

can’t do home-schooling,” said Hanson, who has worked in alternate education for 10 years. “I’m used to working with people who are not successful in the regular classroom so I build programs they can be successful at.”

According to Hanson, when students come to see him, he is able to almost custom design courses.

“I can set up people with work experience. I have math and different English courses available,” he said.

“I’ve built other courses like psychology, law, marketing, computer science and things people are interested in.”

Joy Brown is enrolled in ConnectEd because she wants to finally complete her grade 12. According to Brown, the diploma will allow her to go for future training and career improvement.

“Believe it or not, most people

in my family don’t have grade 12,” said the 54 year old. “I love to learn.

I love to know things and with not getting my grade 12, I didn’t feel like I was complete.”

On Monday, September 12, Connect-Ed is starting its second full year of supporting adult learners in Powell River. Classes are Mondays or Thursdays between 11 am-5 pm at the university campus.

According to Hanson, he had 65 enrolled students, ranging in age from 18 to 64. Five of those graduated with their diplomas.

“I have a rollover of about 55 students from last year,” he said. “I don’t take students off my enrolment at the end of the year. This is just a continuous enrolment, so I’ll load up people with homework over the summer, if they choose to have LEARNING CONNECTION: James Hanson teaches an adult education it, and then they just come back to program that gives students the opportunity to acquire a grade 12 diploma me and we carry on in September.” through courses tailored to each individual’s needs.

Lund pace leaves impression on tourists

WHERE THE ROAD BEGINS Musings on Lund

by Erin Innes

I have made it a bit of a tradition to go down to Lund

harbour on Labour Day weekend and watch the exodus: a steady stream of boats being pulled out at the boat ramp and kayaks coming out of the water and onto the tops of cars.

The marina that has been stacked three boats deep all summer suddenly has empty slips, and there is finally room again for locals to sit at tables in the bakery and nurse a cup of coffee like we do the rest of the year.

It’s official: tourist season is over.

Being so close to the roadless places, Lund is the first

place people stop into on their way back to civilization.

Labour Day weekend is always one of the busiest traffic times of the year down here, but it’s different than the start of the season.

In June, people are coming from whatever place they started from that is much noisier, busier and faster than here. It shows.

The June rush has an air of panic about it, full of folks who have been driving all day, worrying about whether they are going to be able to make impossible ferry schedules and keep their

There’s always a boat to catch, or a parking spot to find (which would not be a problem if people would park in the parking lot and not try to cram themselves into whatever spot on the side of the road they think they can fit into, but that is another story for another time).

Whether they know it or not, when people arrive here in June they bring with them a lot of what they are trying to get away from.

By now, you can just tell

from watching them that things are different. People who have been kayaking in the Discovery Islands or Desolation Sound have been moving at the pace of waves and tides and sea lions for a lot of days now, and you can see it in how they move; the way they look around instead of just rushing straight for their destination like they do when they get here.

There’s a feeling of space, and time, that even the most dedicated city person cannot help but pick up on when they spend time in

the wilderness. Even folks who have been in cottages or boats or RVs with all the comforts of a house in the suburbs have had a little of Lund rub off on them.

They move slower, smile more and take the time to chat with strangers.

It’s not that there are not still boats to catch and gear to load and kids to wrangle, but somehow people seem less worried about it all on their way out of here than they were on their way in.

Which always makes me wonder, why the heck are they going back?

Included in Tla’amin Nation’s final treaty agreement, which gave the first nation self-governance as of April 5, a small appendix on culture and heritage provides for the return of artifacts and cultural materials.

On Thursday, September 1, Royal BC Museum returned a small group of artifacts to Tla’amin.

“It’s important because this has all happened because of the self-government that is in place now,” said Tla’amin Nation hegus Clint Williams. “This is a pretty significant piece of work for anyone to achieve.

Because of our self-governing status, it is possible to receive these artifacts and we want to welcome them in a good, positive way and receive them with good feeling.”

According to museum representatives, the most important piece among the returned items is a stone club.

“The stone club is a larger piece,” said Royal BC Museum curator Martha Black. “It’s carved and has a zoomorphic design on it.”

Zoomorphic, said Black, refers to the carvings of animal-like heads on the club.

In some first nations along the Pacific Northwest coast, these type of clubs were often imbued with supernatural properties and played important functions in stories and establishment of traditional lands.

Williams said the pieces,

particularly the club, are connected to Tla’amin traditional lands and a dark time from the past.

“It’s something to receive this because not all that long ago there was a goal to destroy and erase us from history,” said Williams. “It’s not a happy memory but we acknowledge and respect what’s still left there, because it’s powerful to see things from the past that have survived that chaotic time.”

The provenance of the club, according to Black, is approximately 1923 and five kilometres south of Powell River. It is referred to as a surface find, which means it was not discovered from archaeological excavation.

“We therefore have no information about the site

or how the club was discovered,” said Black. “Carved stone clubs with the blade and shaft made as a single piece, as this one was, are rare. They are found in very small numbers from BC to Northern California and thought to be from 300 to 1,000 years old.”

According to the museum’s researcher for anthropology, Genevieve Hill, who escorted the pieces from Victoria back to Tla’amin, because the club was collected in the early days of the century, scientific methods used to date it were not in practice.

“We don’t have as much information about the date of the club as we would like,” said Hill.

In addition to the club, other artifacts returned include trading beads, a handmaul fragment, numerous stone flakes, worked glass, bone point, disc-shaped stone with central hole, or spindle whorl, and discshaped stone with perforated centre.

Based on the treaty agreement, some Tla’amin artifacts will be held by the museum, such as trading beads, baskets, slate knives, slate and stone points and blades.

According to Hill, more Tla’amin artifacts certainly exist that have not been recovered. She said more archaeological exploration is required and more excavation, care and attention to the existence of sites. “[Tla’amin] are concerned and they care, and we need the rest of the community to care as much as they do about their heritage,” she said.

That care and concern underlies a bigger issue for Tla’amin people regarding their cultural heritage, according to Williams. He said many unrecorded archaeological sites exist throughout the traditional territory, including sacred places and artifacts that have been desecrated, including ancient burial sites.

“Some of these burials were done in wooden boxes,” said Williams. “Someone used one of these burial boxes as kindling to start a fire.

That was somebody’s burial site, who knows, hundreds or thousands of years ago, and it’s disrespected and we don’t like that. It doesn’t matter what your race, religion or anything is, nobody likes to have their ancestors remains destroyed.”

CULTURE »

Ukulele makes a comeback Small instrument not as silly as it seems, say players DAVE BRINDLE community@prpeak.com

Fun, joyful and happy are words ukulele players use to describe the allure of the little stringed instrument. Even its name sounds plucky.

“It has a happy sound,” said Juhli Jobi, who teaches ukulele lessons in Powell River. “When the strings are plucked, it’s just such a happy, sweet sound and it makes people feel happy.”

Around Powell River, it’s often the instrument of choice when people gather around campfires.

According to those who strum, it’s a very easy instrument, which adds to its popularity among people of all ages.

“To be able to play a song on a ukulele, it’s pretty simple to learn that,” said Powell River Academy of Music instructor Ron Campbell.

“To really master it and become great on it, you do have to put in a fair amount of time, but with a pretty minimal input of time you can get up to being able to play simple songs on the ukulele.”

There are masters of the ukulele who are phenomenal, said Campbell.

According to ukulele aficionados, the greatest ukulele player in the world is Jake Shimabukuro,

whose repertoire includes arrangements of such popular songs as Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody,” Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” and George Harrison’s “While You Were Sleeping,” which went viral on YouTube. Another master of the instrument is Canada’s ukulele wunderkind James Hill.

The Internet is largely responsible for the current resurgence in people picking up the little instrument, but it was a quartette from Hawaii that first introduced it in North America in 1915. It was not until it became an icon of the Jazz Age that the ukulele really came into its own as a legitimate musical instrument.

“It was picked up in the early days, the ’20s or ’30s,” said Ann Trousdell, who started playing about four or five years ago. “The jazz community took it to places it had never been before.”

Older generations will remember Tiny Tim, said Campbell. Tiny Tim was best known for his 1968 ukulele rendition of “Tiptoe through the Tulips” that he sang in a falsetto and he was a favourite guest of Johnny Carson on late night television’s The Tonight Show.

“He popularized it, for sure,” said Campbell. “It is overlooked because of the whole persona he had, but he was actually very talented, a good player and a good singer.”

Perhaps it is the instrument’s size and sound but, according to Jobi, some people don’t take it seriously as an instrument.

“Most people look at it as a toy,” she said.

SMILING STRUMMERS: Members of Powell River’s ukulele community embrace the instrument for its playing ease and cheerful sound. Pictured here are [from left, back row] Edward Sanderson, Diana Svelnis, Juanita Schwanke, Carina Rempel, Geoff Allen, [from left, front row] Juhli Jobi, Teresa Harwood-Lynn, CaroleAnn Leishman and Annabelle Tully-Barr. DAVE BRINDLE PHOTO

Its size does make the instrument portable, which makes it easy to take everywhere: to the beach, strapped to a backpack and taken into the backcountry on hikes, in kayaks and even on bicycles.

That is one of things that attract many people to the ukulele, according to Jobi. It is easier to tote

around than a guitar.

While it is possible to play a sad song on a ukulele, it’s hard to listen without a smile, she said.

“I felt that if I pulled it out and tried to play a little something, people would be amused by it and that was all I wanted,” she said.

“Ultimately, my long-term goal

was to be able to bring a couple of songs to the campfire. That was the whole reason why I wanted to play it.”

Jobi teaches and brings together a ukulele circle every week in Powell River. For more information, search “Powell River Ukulele” on Facebook.

Library poet behind the slam Sonia Zagwyn organizes two slam-poetry events a year for Powell River Public Library. She is a poet, by her own right, in the sense that she has studied and written poetry. She is new to slam, which is a competitive poetry event. Zagwyn recently performed spoken word at Sunshine Music Festival.

Are you a slam poet?

Not a slam poet. I would describe myself as a poet.

I only came to slam or spoken-word poetry when I moved to Powell River. I wrote a lot of poetry before I moved here, but I didn’t get into the performative aspect of it until I started running the slam for the library.

With your job at the librar y and organizing slams, do you miss your own poetry?

A bit, yeah. I think working full-time is a challenge to be productive in trying to have an artistic practice. I’ve worked in libraries since I was a teenager. I’m in the environment where books are constantly passing through. I don’t get to read poetry at work, but being able to encourage poetry through some of my work is good for me.

Is there still a demand for poetry?

It’s not the highest circulating item. I think slam is the gateway poetry for a lot of people. It’s energetic.

It’s performative. It often

rhymes. Most poetry does not. If you take a degree in poetry you’re taught to learn about internal rhyme and slant rhyme and there is all of these different ways you can work with the music of poetry of words but don’t straight up make it rhyme.

Does slam break that rule?

Slam does that. The poets do it to an audience that hasn’t necessarily been exposed to a lot of poetry before. They’re like, “Wow, this is what poetry can be.”

And I think more studied poets can learn from slam.

It’s about nuance. It’s about thinking about the sounds of words, not just the meanings of words.

Brooks sports teams start training Volleyball, soccer, cross-country and aquatics round out term one athletics for Brooks Secondary School Thunderbirds rep teams for 2016/17.

Some teams are in rebuilding years and others hope to build on successes from last year, according to coaches.

After coming close at the BC Girls Volleyball Provincial Championships last year, senior girls volleyball coach Doug Skinner

said.

Cocksedge said another athlete to watch due to his rapid increase in ability because of a very high work ethic is grade nine student Will Rice. Will recently won the eight-kilometre Run the Rock on Texada Island.

“On the girl’s side, Camryn Cline comes off an amazing track season and will lead a big junior girls team,” said Cocksedge, “which has never shown more promise to make it to the provincials.”

Brooks Thunderbirds cross-country team will be hosting a meet on Thursday, September 22.

For every athlete who makes a Thunderbirds rep squad, there are those that do not.

“It’s the least enjoyable part of the job when you tell somebody they might not be able to play this

year because of different levels of experience,” said Rice. “It’s part of the balance of a high-school teacher. You want to get as many people involved and have quality experiences but sometimes you can’t have everybody. It’s a balance for sure.”

For youth who do make the teams, there is the fun of competition, representing their school and travel. These athletes might be the only people who actually enjoy ferry travel and being together as a result.

“Our kids are closer as a group,” said Rice. “We spend a lot of time together before and after games, so coaches can use it as an advantage and one of the reasons the kids play is for all that social time.

It’s friendships. It’s building those relationships.”

are only three teams that go off the island to the provincials, so we have to figure a way to come in top three.”

According to Skinner, the Thunderbirds senior girls volleyball team was a powerhouse in the old Max Cameron Secondary School days. All of the banners in the Brooks gym are from Max Cameron teams, except one won by the 2000/01 team.

“We hope we can go back to another BC championship,” he said.

According to vice-principal and junior boys soccer coach Tony Rice, this is definitely a rebuilding year for the senior team. Rice said a lot of boys are playing the game right now and he expects a resurgence in soccer this year.

“Powell River schools have always been strong in boys soccer,” he said. “Two years ago, my senior boys team, we finished sixth at provincials. We had a second place finish in 2000.”

According to Rice, with so many boys keen about soccer, there will be a bump of players who make the teams more competitive.

“We’re at the beginning of that bump,” he said. “If you watch the next three years, I would expect us to be challenging at the top again.”

Rice’s junior boys did challenge last season, making it to the North Island Championships, he said.

“We’ll have a pretty deep squad,” said Rice, “so I will expect us to be pretty competitive.”

Just as in soccer, a renewed interest is also being seen in crosscountry running, spurred on by the team’s success in qualifying the last two years for the BC championships, according to coach Graham Cocksedge.

All of the cross-country athletes deserve attention, said Cocksedge.

“Chris Fisher has had great success and is now at the top of his category. This is the same for Josh Chernoff, a grade 12 student,” said Cocksedge.

Chernoff, according to Cocksedge, had a breakthrough year in track and field last year.

“I am excited to see how he carries this into cross country,” he

is optimistic.

“Most of the kids we will have this year are in grade 12,” said Skinner. “We were really elated last year when, as a predominantly grade 11 crew, we went to Vernon and came second in BC in AAA volleyball.”

Thunderbirds are expected to be strong but, according to Skinner, there will be good teams who were in grade 10 last year and more experienced grade 12s.

He said he and Jay Yule, the other girls volleyball coach, will know more about the Brooks team by the end of September and which other teams will present challenges.

“We’ll get strong competition from Campbell River and Nanaimo. We know all of those teams will be stronger just on the island alone,” said Skinner. “There

LAST WEEK’S SODUKO ANSWER:

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9X9 grid, broken down into nine 3X3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
