North Island Gazette, April 13, 2016

By Kathy O’Reilly-TaylorEditorTwo local elementary schools’ environmental

initiatives have won them awards.T’lisalagi’lakw School in Alert Bay, and

Zeballos Elementary Secondary School, were winners of the 2016 BC Green Games awards.

The BC Green Games, Science World’s sus-tainability storytelling contest, encourages BC schools to share and celebrate the considerable environmental efforts of BC schools and their communities.

The competition was fierce this year with proj-ects that encourage students to think globally and act locally.

Winners of the contest included 10 teams from Grades K-7 and 10 teams from Grades 8-12. Each team received $1,000 for their school’s environ-mental initiatives.

Zeballos made a movie about their recycling, bottle return, and vermi-worm organic waste programs.

The students gather food scraps from every classroom each day to feed the worms. They then

build the worms new ‘Hungry Bins’ and rehoused them as the population of little, wriggly compos-ters grow. “I was pretty excited. I was kind of hoping that we would win. My kids were over the top,” said Grade 3-6 Teacher Elmar Nabbe.

As a result of their victory, Nabbe said, the school won an expense-paid trip to Vancouver May 19 to have a sleepover at Science World.

Accident claims officerGazette staffA former Port McNeill

RCMP officer was killed in a tragic accident April 5.

Medical analysis was con-ducted in Vernon Friday on Const. Sarah Beckett, who died April 5 in Langford, on Vancouver Island.

“According to the coroners’ office, it was a matter of who was available,” said Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy, of the Vernon RCMP, as to why the analysis was done here.

Once the coroner’s duties were completed, a proces-sion of about eight police cars transported Beckett to the Vernon Airport for a flight to Victoria.

Noseworthy says the loss of

an officer is felt by everyone within the RCMP.

“While we are a large force, we are a small community,” she said.

Beckett died after her police cruiser was hit by a pickup truck at about 3:30 a.m. April 5.

The 32-year-old officer had been with the RCMP since 2005, serving in Port McNeill and most recently with the Langford detach-ment since 2009. She leaves behind her husband and two small children.

The driver of the pickup was arrested but subsequent-ly released from custody. He has not been charged, and the investigation is ongoing

Tragic end for searchGazette staffThe search for 62-year-old Marc Regimbal,

from Port Alice, ended tragically April 4.RCMP officers and Campbell River Search

and Rescue were joined in the search by the RCMP helicopter based in Comox, Police Dog Service, and by volunteers from Civil Air Search and Rescue Association (CASARA).

Volunteers searched through Friday night and all day Saturday, finally wrapping up Sunday afternoon, having searched hundreds of kilometres of mainline and spur roads, in the area bounded by Quatsino Sound to the north, the West Coast down as far as the Brooks Peninsula, and Neroutsos Inlet to the east.

Just after 2 p.m. April 4, Port Alice and Port

Hardy RCMP were dispatched to a remote logging road, near O’Connell Lake, south of Mahatta River camp on Quatsino Sound, after they received a report of a vehicle down a steep embankment.

Monday morning a car was found by loggers in the area of Red Stripe mountain, which was far from Regimbal’s intended route.

The steep decline and terrain made it impos-sible for investigators to get to the vehicle, and ascertain whether there was anyone inside. After several hours, and with the assistance of the Campbell River Search and Rescue, and using machinery volunteered by the LeMare Lake Logging Company, responders were able to extract the vehicle up the hill to the roadway.

Late last Tuesday evening, Port Alice RCMP confirmed the vehicle was Regimbal’s and his body was located inside.

The investigation into this fatal motor vehi-cle collision is ongoing, in partnership with a traffic collision analyst from North Island Traffic Services, as well as the BC Coroners Service.

“I would like to extend my personal grati-tude to the employees and owner at LeMare Lake Logging Company and the Campbell River SAR,” said Port Hardy RCMP St. Sgt. Gord Brownridge.

“We would not have been able to extri-cate the vehicle, and subsequently locate the missing person, had it not been for LeMare Logging providing equipment, and voluntarily shutting down operations which were instrumental in the recovery, and the Campbell River SAR with their expertise in complex operations, such as these,” said Brownridge.

By Kathy O’Reilly-TaylorEditorThe mayor’s chains of office will be on display

at the Port Hardy Museum as part of an exhibit this summer.

In light of the District of Port Hardy’s 50th anniversary of incorporation in May, the museum is planning an exhibit on the community that will run from April 30 to Sept. 30.

“We could take it out of the museum if he (Mayor Hank Bood) needed it,” said Chief Administrative Officer Allison McCarrick.

Council approved the request with the stipula-tion that it be kept in its protective case.

the students want to see WormWorx Organics Recycling - a company that offers integrated and sustainable green solutions for dealing with organic waste and “see the potential for it.”

The Zeballos School now has community members bringing in compost for the worm farms, Nabbe said.

Some are already ear-marked for the commu-nity gardens in Zeballos and the Ehattesaht First Nation.

Down the road, “per-haps we can sell more and buy more good-ies for the kids,” said Nabbe.

T ’ l i s a l a g i ’ l a k w School made a movie about recycling on a small island, and the trials and tribulations it involves. The school was not set up for recy-cling, and did not have anywhere to store cans and bottles. Bit by bit the school got organized. They received Return-It recycling boxes and placed them around the school. The first few times they were emp-tied, they had bottles and cans, but also gar-bage and old sandwich-es. They realized they had to educate younger students on how to use the boxes, so they cre-ated a play and went around to every class to explain how recycling works.

Students toured the local Shop-rite Department Store, which takes recycling

weekly, and cashed in their bottles. The funds are going to a year-end trip for the graduating class of Grade 7s.

Thanks to the contin-ued support from the folks at Encorp Pacific, Science World was once again able to offer the Return-It trip prize.

With this travel sub-sidy prize, two teams from outside Metro Vancouver received $1,500 towards the Science World field trip travel costs. This year, Alert Bay and Zeballos were chosen.

“The Return-It spon-sored prize will pay

for an overnight trip to Science World for our class. In all we won $2,500 and a Sony video camera,” said T’lisalagi’lakw School Grade 6/7 teacher Tessa Carter.

This year’s entries, as well as over 775 projects from previous years, are permanently archived at bcgreen-games.ca.

Thanks to sponsors Encorp Pacific, BC Hydro, Call2Recycle and Electronic Products Recycling Association, 102 sus-tainability projects were supported and

over 50 free field trips provided, province wide.

B.C.’s fifth modern treaty took effect April 5, formalizing self-government for the Tla’amin Nation on B.C.’s Sunshine Coast. The settlement includes Crown and reserve land in the Powell River area, in a traditional territory that includes Lasqueti, Texada and Cortes Islands as well as Comox on Vancouver Island.

It transfers 6,405 hectares of former provincial Crown land, including forest and mineral rights, plus a $33.9 million capi-tal transfer and a $7.9 million economic development fund. Since the agreement was signed two years ago, the Tla’amin have endorsed a constitution that Chief Clint Williams said ensures transparent and accountable government.

“I think it gives us a little more leverage in speaking with B.C. and Canada, as we will own the land that we’re trying to conduct business on,” Williams said.

Tla’amin elder Elsie Paul had a more personal take on the long-awaited treaty.

“We can’t be stuck where we’ve been stuck forever, where we’re on reserve land, just for us,” she said. “It feels like you’re trapped there. And hopefully, those gates have opened, to also welcome people to come to our community.

“Because in the past, in my growing up years, we never had friends, people from Powell River or anywhere else. We were not allowed to have visitors, and we were not allowed to mingle in town with white people.”

Communities can also look to the example of the Tsawwassen First Nation, which has attracted $1 billion in new investment since its treaty was implemented in 2009.

Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad said the Tla’amin treaty shows the B.C. Treaty Commission is still working, despite having gone without a chief commissioner since the province refused to appoint one a year ago.

Rustad said that was a signal from the B.C. government that it can’t carry on at the current pace, which has seen one treaty

on average every three years.“And so if you do the extrapolation, we have 203 bands,

that’s over 600 years of negotiations,” Rustad told me. “And even if we could find a way to accelerate that to the point where we’re celebrating a new treaty every year, that is still 200 years of negotiations.

“And that is why we didn’t go forward with a chief com-missioner. We have to find a way to be able to do something more effectively.”

It gets worse. The Lheidli T’enneh First Nation near Prince George completed a treaty after years of work, only to see it rejected by a community vote in 2007. Efforts to hold a sec-ond vote have gone nowhere.

And the Yale First Nation was to implement its treaty this month, but the new council for the 160-member village in the Fraser Canyon confirmed to Rustad last week that they want out. The Yale agreement has been controversial from the start, with the larger Sto:lo Nation viewing the community as a splinter group controlling fishing sites contested for thou-sands of years. But the new Yale council is more sympathetic to the Sto:lo, so the latest setback could turn into a positive.

There have been previous efforts to deal with aboriginal rights and title on a broader scale. The latest one foundered after aboriginal leaders rejected a province-wide proposal offered by former premier Gordon Campbell.

Similar to the Sto:lo, the Tla’amin have a history of territo-rial overlap with the Klahoose, Sechelt and others.

Paul said there is a tradition of working together in her home region. We’re building relationships with our neigh-bours, as well as building relationships with our neighbouring First Nations communities,” she said.

This has been a week in which some of politics’ dirty secrets have been laid bare: the fund-raising tactics used by Premier Christy Clark and her inner council. While other jurisdictions have been embar-rassed into changing the laws governing fund-raising for poli-tics, BC’s premier has stead-fastly stuck to private fund-rais-ing, effectively selling access to herself and her ministers.

John Horgan, the leader of the Opposition, this week introduced a bill for the fifth time in as many years, which would ban corporate and union donations to political parties and ensure a cap on individual donations. Private members bills rarely get debated in the BC Legislature so we tried to get the bill considered by moving it through the committee system. This demanded a vote of all members.

Unfortunately, and not surprisingly, the BC Liberals voted No, so the bill has effectively stalled leaving BC alone in allowing our politics to be paid for by corpora-tions and lobbyists. This should not be a partisan issue, but Christy Clark and the BC Liberals make it so. This is a question of public trust. People need to have every con-fidence that their politics and their democracy is not being bought.

Our focus in Question Period was the care and support of our seniors. Once again we saw Christy Clark laugh and joke with her colleagues as we asked serious questions about the care vulnerable seniors receive. The govern-ment’s own Seniors’ Advocate has said 232 publicly-fund-ed care homes do not meet the government’s own staffing guidelines which means 80 per cent of the government-funded care homes are understaffed, and seniors are paying the price.

We also debated the Greenhouse Gas Industrial Reporting and Control Amendment Act. This waters down the already weak bill passed two years ago which allows LNG pro-ducers to avoid greenhouse gas emission targets. It puts BC even further behind in trying to reach any climate and emissions targets, but, again, all BC Liberals stood together to vote for it.

And we debated a bill which creates a new park in the interior of BC as well as extending a number of existing parks, including Tweedsmuir, part of which is in the North Island constituency.

I spoke in favour of the bill, but underlined the need to back this, and other fine statements about parks, with money. I also spoke about the need to look at the ecosystem as a whole.

While designating area of land as a park is significant, that is seriously undermined if the neighbouring land mass is widely logged. Anyone who lives and works in the North Island knows our environment is interconnected. If we want good hunting, good fishing, good logging, good camping and good hiking, we have to look at our land base in its entirety.

Those around the constituency who have noticed the large new signs about reporting wildfires may be interested in a forestry act debated this week which increases fines for failing to report a fire to $383 and for ignoring a fire ban to $1,150.

More history on churchDear Editor,It was nice to see the picture of

the little church in the Gazette, and to learn it is starting another chapter in its history.

It was built in the 1950s, located where the glass shop and lawyer’s office are now, on a then forested site. In 1972, the congregation turned it over to the District of Port Hardy for the purpose of housing a library. They were relo-cating to their new building, the

present St. Columba’s Church, which was moved in from the air-port. The old church was moved to a location between the back door of the Gazette building and the old fire hall which is now the Thrift Shop, and fitted out as the new branch of the Vancouver Island Regional Library. Parking was a little congested, especially when there was a fire alarm, so the building was moved across the street to the spot which is now

the Japanese garden in Carrot Park. It served the community as the library until the library was able to move to its present loca-tion on Market Street. The Thrift Shop took over the premises for the next several years until it moved to its present location in the old fire hall. The little church building has served the commu-nity well over its lifetime.

By Kathy O’Reilly-TaylorEditorIf the large audience

was any indication, early childhood devel-opment is an impor-tant issue on the North Island.

Over 200 people converged on the Port Hardy Civic Centre, April 5, braving tor-rential rain, to hear renowned child psy-chiatrist and author Dr. Bruce Perry talk about bringing relational rich-ness back into the lives of children.

“He has crossed a continent and travelled by planes, trains, auto-mobiles and Noah’s Ark to get here this evening,” said Danielle Plummer, team leader, Child/Youth Mental Health in her introduc-tion.

Elder Maggie Sedgemore wel-comed Dr. Perry to the Kwakiutl traditional territory.

“The work you do is so important and we need all the help we can get,” Sedgemore said.

Dr. Perry is the Senior Fellow of the Child Trauma Academy, a not-for-profit organiza-tion based in Houston, Texas and adjunct pro-fessor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioural Sciences at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University in Chicago.

Dr. Perry presented an overview of brain development and its remarkable malleability during early childhood. He also talked about how the experiences of early childhood shape the developing brain by providing a range of social, emotional, motor, and cognitive experiences that impact the number and density of neural networks in the young brain.

“The brain allows us to absorb the accumu-lated and distilled expe-rience of thousands of previous generations in a single lifetime,” said Dr. Perry.

“The brain is a reflec-tion of the world you grow up in,” he said.

“The world that we raise our children in

today has more mate-rial goods. They are wealthy in material things, but impover-ished in touch.”

“How did we become so stupid about chil-dren. We think it is more important to have a fancy new car than to have a relationship with your neighbours,” he said.

Society today seems to want to raise their children to be indepen-dent, but that flies in the face of genetics and a basic need to be social creatures.

“We need each other. Our physiology is influ-enced by the presence of other people,” Dr. Perry said.

When it is absent, people “have relational poverty”.

“The human brain is not designed for the modern world,” he maintains.

For instance, people are artificially prolong-ing daylight which messes up sleep pat-terns. Humans histori-cally have been hunt-ers and gatherers, but they now have access to round-the-clock food, a lot of it fat, calorie-ridden junk, which is leading to obesity, and other diseases, because

people are wired to eat until they can’t eat any more, because it may be days before you “find another seal on the beach.”

Historically, a fam-ily involved between 40 and 60 households. This has now dwindled to under five, which results in isolation.

In the past, people were spread out further. Today, there are more people living closer together, “but we’re not connected,” Dr. Perry said, which can leave moms and young fami-lies feeling isolated and alone.

Modern technology is also impacting child-hood development.

The typical American, he said, spends 11 hours a day on digital devices; checks their phone 150 times a day; visits 40 websites per day; and has 5.9 connected devices in their home.

In the school system, teachers teach to the mean (average student), when there are children at all learning levels.

If children have prob-lems learning or behav-ing “we declare that they have a disorder” such as ADHD, oppo-sitional defiance, or a

reading disorder, and “we prescribe drugs for them”.

The high quality evi-dence shows these pre-scribed drugs show zero effect, and tend to not work.

“We still don’t catch them up,” said Dr. Perry.

Often these kids start to hang around togeth-er, form a “gang” and turn to alcohol, then perhaps drugs to deal with the stress of not fitting in and being told every day that they are inadequate.

“All of a sudden you’re in the juvenile justice system.”

Thirty per cent of kids in the juvenile justice system were initially charged with truancy and put in a restrictive environment.

In school, there are kids that purposely act out so they get atten-tion. Kids that act out are often kicked out of class, which Dr. Perry says is the wrong approach.

“We should bring them in and embrace them.”

“We spend billions of dollars trying to help, but because we don’t understand we end up making a mess.”

Children who don’t have enough social interaction and oppor-tunities for social learning, “have under-development of parts of the brain that makes them human and empathic.”

The major develop-ment of the brain takes place in the first four to five years of life.

“You get your big-gest bang for your buck (from) investment in early childhood edu-cation. If you, in your problem-solving pro-cess, include the wis-dom about taking care of our youngest chil-dren and their families, we will be successful,” he said.

“It’s together we can create a better future for all of our children in all of our communities. We have to figure out how to recapture the wisdom of the past and incorporate it” in early childhood.

BIGGEST SALE of the YEAR!

MARINE SH WMARINE SH WMARINE SH WMARINE SH WMARINE SH WMARINE SH W



By Erin HaluschakBlack PressWith the goal of inventing better ways to move

forward for the next generation of children, the Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island will invest $715,000 over the next three years into helping northern Vancouver Island children suffer-ing from trauma and neglect.

On Monday, the organization brought together Diane Lloyd, interim CEO of the foundation, proj-ect co-leaders Dr. Carol Coxon and Dr. Bruce Perry to make the announcement at the Old House Hotel in Courtenay.

The Healing Childhood Trauma Partnership Project is an early intervention program for chil-dren up to six years of age, with complex emo-tional and developmental challenges, explained Coxon, a child and adolescent psychiatrist practis-ing in Comox.

“Kids are chronically misunderstood and it’s too late,” she explained. “In psychiatry, we’re quite good in diagnosing. What we don’t have is a good sense of how do we help (children) heal?”

The project is the only mental health early inter-vention program in British Columbia that uses a neurobiology-informed approach to work with children, families and communities.

The project uses a brain map tool to assist in assessing where each child is in terms of neurologi-cal development and how that might impact their day-to-day functioning. It uses the information to not only develop appropriate mental health inter-ventions for each child, but also equip the parents, school and community with the information.

Guidance will be provided by Perry, author and an adjunct professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioural Sciences at Northwestern University in Chicago.

Project partners include Coxon and Perry, Island Health, Ministry of Children and Family Development, Comox Valley Child Development Association, Comox Valley Public Health Unit, two school districts and Jan Ference, infant-parent mental health fellow.

The project will involve a selected cohort of children who are suffering from severe trauma and dysregulation from the Comox Valley and Port Hardy areas, she explained.

Children will receive intensive therapy to address their stress-response system and increase their abil-ity to regulate emotions and increase functioning in all developmental domains. Additional financial support will be provided by Island Health and the Ministry of Child and Family Development.

By David FarenFor the GazetteThe Squamish

Nations Chiefs co-host-ed a webcast confer-ence focusing on youth, the justice system, and FASD, aboriginal culture, and health on March 31 and April 1.

Through an Aboriginal Lens (TAL) is a project initiated by the Native Courtworker and Counselling Association of BC (NCCABC) and the Asante Centre in Maple Ridge, and this con-ference highlighted the work being done. According to the Asante Centre’s website TAL “addresses a gap in services for Aboriginal youth” who are referred there for FASD assess-ments.

Over the two-day event about a dozen people spoke on top-ics concerning youth interaction with the jus-tice system, the role of FASD in their and other peoples’ lives.

Speaking first on Friday morning Allison Pooley, program direc-tor at the Asante Centre gave a passionate talk on the valuable work done at the Centre and the real value of diagnosis to those with FASD. Quoting an erst-while homeless man who recently turned 50, Pooley recalled how he hadn’t heard of FASD, but diagnosis and knowing how to man-age his life caused him to tell her, “my life got easier.” He now lives in an apartment of his own. “I’m so happy with myself now.”

Pooley began by introducing the distinc-tion between a label and a diagnosis. A par-ent of an affected child told her diagnosis was a help. “My child was labelled before,’ she told Pooley. The labels like ‘busy’, or ‘couldn’t sit still’ come, but offered no help. The diagnosis was a help, it helped provide under-

standing. Pooley asked the reasoning process to back up further though. Backing up to say FASD is the underlying reason is only one stop on the way to under-standing the problem.

“What has led us to get to this place?” Pooley asked. She was referring to the underly-ing cause behind FASD. “I never met a mother drinking to hurt her child”, she said. Pooley discussed how aware-ness of the damaging effects of alcohol on foetus’ has grown over the past several decades. This was one side of the knowledge gap, many young mothers have not known about the dam-aging effects of alcohol. The other side was not knowing one was preg-nant.

Pooley made the point that this is not an indig-enous concern. Instead, she pointed out that this is a trauma-based concern. Trauma leads to substance abuse,

including alcohol. “Do you know what the number one predictor is for a pregnant woman not to drink?” Pooley asked and looked out across the audience for an answer. After a pause she gave up the answer, “the support of a part-ner.” She then empha-sized this could be any-one close. Family.

The Asante Centre provides a compre-hensive set of services to people with FASD including diagnoses. Pooley spoke briefly on difficulties faced when informing someone they have the disorder. “It’s a hard thing to pro-cess.” Pooley present-ed a list of ten things

people presented with this news need to know. They need to be told:

• You are going to be okay. The diagnosis is a tool to help know what will help.

• It’s not your fault and this has nothing to do with your mother’s love for you.

• It is different for everyone. As Pooley said, “If you’ve met one person with FASD, you’ve met one person with FASD.”

• You aren’t stupid! Repeat often.

• FASD isn’t the whole person. This is only one part of the per-son and everyone has strengths to emphasize.

• Do NOT Google FASD! Googling will result in unpleasant sta-tistics about interactions with the legal system and substance abuse. Instead, speak to well informed people and get closer to the truth. Remember ‘3’ above.

• Stick with people you know and people

who are kind to you.• Be patient when

things are hard.• Have a sense of

humour.• It’s okay to ask for

help.Pooley also spent

some time discuss-ing the terminology. The outdated acronym FAS which stood for foetal alcohol syn-drome was dropped simply because too many people affected by alcohol were missed as it was defined. The more inclusive acronym FASD came into use as an umbrella term.

The substitution of syndrome for spec-trum disorder was done to better represent the range of differences in those affected by prena-tal alcohol.

Importantly, Pooley pointed out that this is no longer considered an umbrella term. Instead, FASD is now consid-ered a diagnosis.

Receiving this diag-nosis could mean a

wide range of things to patients, but Pooley emphasized two broad areas of interest. Brain chemistry is affected by prenatal alcohol consumption and this can result in changes to affect regulation, or emotional well being. Anxiety and depres-sion were cited as com-mon problems faced by those with this disorder.

Autoimmune disor-ders were also cited as being linked to FASD. Importantly the changes to the immune system can mean slow starts for the body’s inflam-matory response.

Worse than this, the inflammatory response can last longer than is normal. Chronic inflammation, which can result from FASD autoimmune disorders, can result in cancer, dia-betes, and arthritis. The diagnosis and knowl-edge about what to do can help minimize these and many other prob-lems.

HOT SPOTS

By Kathy O’Reilly-TaylorEditorThe Port Hardy Twinning

Society is working to bring the Uminari Taiko drum group from Victoria to the North Island for a perfor-mance and drumming work-shop during Filomi Days July 15 to 17.

The society is applying for an Arts Based Community Development Grant through the British Columbia Arts Council to bring the group to Port Hardy.

The total budget will be just over $5,000 which covers things like the group’s perfor-mance, travel, workshop and per diem.

The grant will cover 50 per cent of the cost, wrote Society

Treasurer Mark Jones in a let-ter to council.

There will be a small fee for the workshop to encour-age as many participants as possible.

An invitation has also been extended to local First Nations drummers so they may share their skills and cul-ture and have the opportunity to learn Japanese drumming, Jones wrote.

At their regular meeting March 22, District of Port Hardy agreed to provide a $200 in-kind contribution for things like photo copying, creating and printing posters and associated staff time.

Council also agreed to write a letter of support for the grant application.

By Tyson WhitneyReporterPay parking at the new Campbell River Hospital

is still an ongoing issue for the North Island. At a recent Port Alice Village Council meeting, Claire Trevena’s latest letter to Minister of Health’s Terry Lake was attached under the correspondence sec-tion of the agenda.

In the letter, Trevena stated that people “are seri-ously worried about the introduction of parking charges at the hospital,” adding that there is “a serious concern about people’s ability to pay, the stress that will impose on families and the burden on hospital staff. The justifications given to both myself and other elected officials are not adequate: it seems as if we will have to pay for parking because it occurs at other hospitals. A hospital is an important community resource it should serve the community fully. Clearly this is not happening as can be evidenced by the communities’ vociferous opposition to paid parking.” Trevena’s letter was received and filed by Port Alice Council.

By Tyson WhitneyReporterThe Port Hardy Secondary School (PHSS) Track

Club had its first outdoor practice of the season after school on Thursday, April 7, and it was a perfectly sunny day outside for sprinting around the high school track.

“We actually just started the program this year,” said Mike Cleary, PHSS Physical Education teacher, adding the club has seven to 10 students that actively attend practices every Tuesday and Thursday, and that their first meet is on Wednesday, May 4 in Port Alberni, where three of the students “are competing for sure.”

Beth Martineau, one of the track club students who will be competing in Port Alberni, said she really likes the running aspect involved and that she has “always had a passion” for the sport.

The other students involved in the program enjoy the track practices for the workout, which helps them cross-train for other sports. “It gives them the opportunity to get some fitness in, work on bettering themselves, and lets them try to compete at differ-ent levels,” said Cleary. “There’s cardio involved in track, and there’s also the speed aspect, too. A lot of these kids are working on their explosiveness and are trying to improve their running technique. A lot of kids learn to play sports at an early age. They’re naturally fast, naturally good, but their technique isn’t great, so we help them work on their technique to make them that much more effective.”

Cleary has decades of experience as a high-level, multi-sport athlete. He started boxing at the age

of five, competed in the Golden Gloves and had his last boxing match at the age of 17. He was also playing soccer, rugby, and commu-nity football during that time.

“In my adulthood I played rugby at a high level around the world,” said Cleary.

The Tri-Port area has a rich history when it comes to team sports like hockey, soccer and baseball, but indi-vidual sports like wrestling and track are a little less well known within the local communities. Participating in an individual sport takes “more motivation,” said Cleary, adding that individual sports are really all about the “self motivation that comes from within, you know, the drive to do it. With team sports there’s a social aspect to it that makes it easier to get motivated. In an individual sport it’s all about you. If you lose it’s on you, and this is sort of the same thing. While there is a team aspect to it, at the end of the day,

when you’re on the track, it’s just you and there’s nobody else to rely on if you’re having a bad day.”

When asked what kind of success the track club will hopefully have this season, Cleary was quick to point out that right now “they’re a bit off the mark, but we’ve just started practising. Their first meet is gonna be tough, there’s gonna be some nerves, there’s gonna be a lot of different dynamics, but if they train hard and put the work in, we’ve definitely got some good athletes that are capable of winning.”

By Tyson WhitneyReporterSoccer season has

arrived for another year of training and matches on the North Island. The U18 Soccer league had its first official match of the season on April 10 at the North Island Secondary School soccer pitch in Port McNeill. The sun was shining down on the players early on as the battle between Port Hardy and Port McNeill kicked off at 11 a.m. Port McNeill came out strong in the first 40-min-ute half, passing the ball up and down the pitch and getting the better shots on net. Midway through the half, James Bramham managed to kick the ball past Port Hardy’s goalie to draw first blood, and then just a few minutes before halftime, Brandon Purdey scored off a rebound to give Port McNeill a solid 2-0 lead going into the second half.

Port Hardy Coach Darryl Coon had his team huddle up dur-ing halftime where he talked to them about “coming back to help out on defence” and to make sure to “have fun and take some good shots,” adding that even though the team was down a cou-ple goals, he assured them they were “doing good.”

The talk must have worked. Port Hardy came out aggressive in the second half, controlling the pace of the game with nice passes and getting some great shots on Port McNeill’s goal-ie. The hard work paid off big time.

Taylor Ranger, assisted by Brendan Williamson, got the ball in front of the net and kicked it past Port McNeill’s goalie to make it 2-1.

Port Hardy’s Tyrone Wallas then scored a little bit later off a great shot to tie the game up 2-2, but later on Port McNeill’s Josh Estlin carried the ball into the Port Hardy zone

and blasted an incred-ible shot from the side of the pitch, past the Port Hardy goalie’s outstretched hands, and into the top left corner of the net to definitively take the lead back.

With less than a min-ute left in the match, Port Hardy’s Jaylon Grenier was look-ing for the tying goal when he got shoulder checked off the ball near the Port McNeill net and a free kick was awarded to his team.

The ball was kicked into play, Port McNeill’s goalie made a big save, only for Williamson to find the back of the net off the rebound to tie the game up 3-3.

The whistle blew a couple seconds after-wards, and that’s how the first U18 soccer match of the season ended.

Coon was in good spirits after the game as he congratulated his team on their play in the second half and

mentioned that over-all “things went well. The kids had fun and the season’s looking pretty good. We’ve got some veterans and new players that are really jelling.”

Port McNeill Coach Jonathan Zima said the game “wasn’t too bad” for the start of the season, that the team is still “shaking off the cobwebs and getting settled in,” and added that it was definitely “a beautiful day for the beautiful game.”

MANAGING YOUR MONEY

If you are claiming a tax refund this year, your next decision is what you should do with it. Sure, you could spend it – but then it’s gone. Here are six alternatives with longer term bene ts for your nancial future.

1. Immediately use your refund to make up your 2016 Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) contribution and you’ll get the bene t of nearly an extra year of potential long-term tax-deferred growth plus a tax deduction against your 2016 income.

2. Contribute to investments held in a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA). Your TFSA contribution room was increased by$5,500 as of January 1, 2016. Your contributions are not tax-deductible but you will not be taxed on the income generated by the investments in your TFSA, you can make tax-free withdrawals for any purpose at any time, and you can re-contribute any of those withdrawals in a future year.

3. Invest it. If your RRSP and TFSA are topped up, consider adding your refund to your non-registered investments. A tax-ef cient strategy is to hold stocks and equity based mutual funds outside a RRSP or TFSA because these types of investments are taxed using a more favourable capital gain income inclusion rate plus dividends from many Canadian corporations are eligible for the dividend tax credit.

4. Pay for your kids’ education. Set up Registered Education Savings Plans

(RESPs) to fund their future education costs. Contributions to investments within a RESP are not tax-deductible but their growth is tax-deferred and they may qualify for Canadian Education Savings Grants (CESG)1 of up to 20% of your contribution for the rst $2,500 or $5,000 you contribute to your child’s RESP each year. Depending on the primary caregiver’s family income, you could receive an extra 10-20% of Additional CESG on every dollar you save in your child’s RESP each year.

5. Pay down costly, high-interest credit debt and then pay down non-deductible debt such as your mortgage – a single prepayment could potentially save hundreds, even thousands of dollars in interest payments.

6. If your refund is large, consider parking that cash in a short-term investment that you can access without penalty. That way, you’ll have a ready source of money for a rainy day or a larger purchase – a new car? – without having to borrow or use credit. (A TFSA is also a good rainy day fund.)

Tax refunds are nice … but not as nice as enhancing your personal long term nancial growth. Talk to your professional advisor about a comprehensive tax-reducing nancial plan that will help make it possible for you to achieve all your nancial and life goals.

By Tyson WhitneyReporterWant to shoot guns and eat some grub? The

Port Alice Fish & Wildlife Association is hosting a ‘fun shoot and cookout’ at the Port Alice Fish & Wildlife Association Range on April 24, at 11 a.m.

Not a member? No problem. The event is open to everyone, no membership required, and is all about “having fun shooting targets,” said Valerie Eyfordy, secretary/treasurer for the Association.

“Bring your own meat for the cookout, sometimes people bring their own game they’ve shot.”

Eyfordy added that the event is not only about having fun, but also about “getting together, cleaning up and taking care of the facility,” stating that core members “clean up the range every year.”

Throughout the year, the Range, which is land leased through the District of Mount Waddington, has a designated area that every-one shoots down, and as it eventually gets overgrown, members bring chainsaws to trim it down.

“Everybody that comes to these events, their interests are all the same,” said Eyfordy. “We talk about wildlife and people’s adven-tures out in the bush,” she said, adding that while the Neucel pulp mill may still be in curtailment, “new people are still coming to Port Alice; this place is picking up and things are on the go.”

Herb passed away peace-fully on April 6, 2016 in the Port McNeill Hospital at the age of 85 su r rounded by family. He

will be sadly missed by friends and family. He leaves behind his wife of 48 years, Evelyn as well as his loving children and 8 grandchildren: Lena Taylor (Walter) - Danielle, Zachary; Adline Saunders (John Klughart) – Carly, Cole; Howard Saunders (Kar-men) – Brandon, Jayden, Mathew, and Taylor. Herb always did what he could to help others and was a dedi-cated, loving family man. He also had a great passion for work. In 2014 at the age of 83 he finally gave up his joy of running machines and teach-ing his children, grandchildren and many others to operate them and re-tired. He will be forever in our hearts and deeply missed.As per Herb's request there will be no service. In lieu of flowers, do-nations may be made to a charity of choice.
