International classes upset striking teachersScott Stanfield Record Staff

Lake Trail Middle School in Courtenay has opened its doors to international students in the Comox Valley School District, and thats not sitting well with the striking teachers.

Administrative staff members are providing a program for the 160 students, who have been asked to cross a picket line dur-ing the ongoing teachers strike.

Thats the biggest problem we have, Comox District Teachers Association president Nick Moore said. Were disappointed and

frustrated that students and par-ents are being put in a position to decide whether or not to cross a picket line.

The international program brings in about $2 million to SD 71, Moore added.

We rely on that to help support all the students in the Comox Val-ley. The reason why we have to do that is because government has under-funded education, and our district has had to find a way to

make up that funding. So the more international students they have, the better it is for every-body. But its sad, because its basically a private school running in a public system.

Superintendent Sherry Elwood says the district, as agreed with the CDTA, had hired teachers to offer the programs in summer. By mid-July, however, principals and senior staff filled the positions because she said the association

had changed its mind.As for asking students to cross

picket lines, Elwood said the dis-trict has permission from inter-national parents for students to attend at Lake Trail.

We have legal contracts with these families that we felt we must honour, Elwood said. These students are not receiv-ing course credit and we are not offering courses to international students. We are simply support-ing them with transition issues and familiarizing them with the routines of going to school in a western public school.

Moore notes other B.C. school

districts have arranged alternate locations at recreation centres or elsewhere to accommodate inter-national students during the job action.

Elwood said the CDTA was aware the district had looked for alternate settings but could not find a suitable space in the Valley.

The CDTA hosts a community education forum from 7-9 p.m. Wednesday at the Filberg Cen-tre. A cross-section of teachers will be on hand to discuss issues and answer questions. Anyone interested in public education is encouraged to attend.

United Way pro-grams help to address the root causes of social issues prevalent in any community.

This year, more than 16,500 people in the central and northern regions of the Island are being supported by programs funded by donors and run by partner agencies.

We have 17 amaz-ing programs that we fund this year, Signy Madden, executive director of United Way Central and North-ern Vancouver Island, said Wednesday at its annual fund-raising launch at the Comox Air Force Museum. Were helping over 3,000 people in the Comox Valley. Theres some key issues. Hos-pice is one of them. We deal with parenting programs, and men-toring through the John Howard Society. Theres a whole range of issues that could be your friends, your fam-ily, your neighbours facing a crisis.

Funds are dedicated to programs in three main impact areas: Healthy People, Strong Community; All That Kids Can Be; and From Poverty to Possibility.

Campaigns are sep-arate throughout the region, meaning funds stay local.

Last years cam-paign raised $220,000 for Valley programs. This years target is $230,000.

Everybody has something in their life thats troubling them, and the United Way is helping that, Courte-nay Coun. Jon Ambler said. Just take the

time to look. He suggests giving

out of pure selfishness, considering donors receive a tax receipt.

Anything that these agencies do makes

our community better, makes your life better, Ambler said. There is no excuse for not giving to the United Way. We live in the best country on earth, we shouldnt

be leaving people behind. And agencies that are funded in part by United Way scoop up those people that would otherwise be left behind. Thats the Canadian thing to do. Thats our safety net, and we all have a responsibility to be part of that.

The United Way also manages Success By 6 and early childhood education programs.

Thats a whole other piece the United Way does that many people arent aware of, Madden said, noting the Island has some of the highest child pov-erty rates in B.C.

Comox Valley artist Andy Everson has created the designs that adorn a new three-coin gold series pro-duced by the Royal Canadian Mint.

The series illustrates interconnections within the natural world, and highlights Canadas multicultural peo-ple.

They approached me out of the blue, saw my art work and asked me to submit a design, said Everson, a Kmoks First Nation drum-mer and ceremonial dancer.

The Royal Canadian Mint will release one coin each month. The first is a pure gold coin bearing the image of a beaver, dedicated to the theme of land.

Available this month, it incorporates the four seasons framed within a wreath of six maple leaves.

It has a $200 denomina-tion, but is worth significant-ly more.

In reality it actually costs $1,300 if you go to buy it, Everson said. Theres only 1,500 of them minted.

The coin also comes in a silver version with a holo-graphic finish. The face value of the latter is about $20 but the price is $115. A total of 7,500 of the silver coins have

been produced. There are six coins in total

three designs and two dif-ferent finishes. Octobers coin bears a thunderbird, repre-senting air, and the Novem-ber coin shows a whale,

symbolic of the sea. Along with producing eye-

catching images that blend traditional, modern and pop culture motifs, the innova-tive Everson performs with various groups such as the K u m u g w e Dancers and the Le-La-La Dancers, some-times on an international stage. In 2011, for instance, he and other Canadian First Nation performers participat-ed in the Global Indigenous Peoples Performing Arts in Taiwan to help celebrate the countrys 100th anniversary.

It was through ceremonial dance that Everson began his first serious forays into art. At a young age, he started drawing Northwest Coast art.

In 1990 he designed and painted chilkat-style blan-kets for use in potlatch danc-ing. He has since created

n u m e r o u s pieces that appear in gal-leries around B.C., and some in the U.S.

He has been a professional artist for about the last 12 years. He primarily cre-

ates two-dimensional work, mainly limited edition prints, which can be viewed or pur-chased at the I-Hos Gallery on Comox (Dyke) Road.

The coins are available through the Royal Canadian Mint or at post offices.

BC Hydro has begun underground work along Highway 19A to connect up to five new circuits to the new Buckley Bay Substation near Highway 19.

As it stands, the area from Royston, Buckley Bay, and Denman and Hornby islands receives power from the Puntledge River substation in Courtenay. The new substation will have five circuits developed over time to fit into the existing power grid.

By having a substation closer to the area, it will lead to better reliability, and provide capacity for future developments and growth in that area, communications officer Stephen Watson said. It may also service areas further to the south, such as the Deep Bay area.

The work will take about three months to construct 1.1 km of concrete-encased duct bank. It will start at the intersection of High-way 19A and the ferry entrance, move south, and include a circuit to Denman and Hornby. There will also be terminal poles that allow for the transition from underground cables to overhead lines.

The work will require some single-lane alternating traffic. BC Hydro and flaggers would appreciate driver patience and under-standing. Other phases of the distribution work, to be complete in 2015, will eventually tie into the substation.

The Buckley Bay Substation Project in-service date and connection to various distri-bution circuits is expected next winter.

Project cost for the substation remains on budget at $28 million. Estimated cost from various phases of the distribution interconnec-tion work is about $11 million, meaning a $39 million investment for power reliability and to keep up with customer load demand.

Monday morning.Waking up feeling

lethargic itchy skin, muscle cramps, nau-sea.

For many people with kidney disease, its a typical start to the week.

Those symptoms are the signal that its time for dialysis.

Four hours later, a hemodialysis machine has flushed out the tox-ins and the patient can go about his or her day, after an hour or two of recovery time.

Good to go. All clear.Until Wednesday.Then its time to

repeat the cycle.Three times a week.

Every week.Such is the routine

for a person afflicted with kidney disease.

There is an option.Rather than the

aforementioned hemo-dialysis which can sometimes be done in the comfort of ones home, after an intense training period, and the installation of the proper equipment some patients can choose peritoneal dial-ysis.

Your abdomi-nal cavity, inside your belly, is called your peritoneal cav-ity, explained Heather Johnson, director of programs with the Kid-ney Foundation of Canada, BC Branch. With peritoneal dialy-sis, people have a cath-eter inserted in their abdomen ... Some use a machine called a cycler. Overnight, the dialysis fluid goes in, and through osmosis, the impurities come into the fluid, then the fluid gets drained out with all the toxins. So it functions like the fil-tering that the kidney is not capable of doing.

This option is a nightly occurrence.

Peritoneal dialysis

can also be performed throughout the day (continuous ambula-tory peritoneal dialy-sis), in smaller cycles (30-45 minutes) but numerous times (three to four) during the day.

Peritoneal dialysis patients have to do it every day, said John-son.

And keep in mind, that being on dialysis does not bring your kidney function up to what (a healthy per-son) would have. It only provides about 15 per cent kidney func-tion. So it is very try-ing. People may feel

poorly after dialysis, because you have to recover. One may feel poorly before dialysis, because the toxins are building up.

None of the options are pleasant.

The alternative is worse: death - usually within a few weeks. The toxins build up and eventually shut down the body.

No cureThere is no cure for

kidney disease; only maintenance.

Even kidney trans-plants do not cure

kidney disease, said Johnson. Transplant recipients are still considered to have kidney disease. If they are young when they receive a kidney transplant, even their transplanted kidney is unlikely to last. It may work for 30 years, but if you get transplant-ed as a child, you may need another trans-plant, or may end up on dialysis when that new kidney fails. So none of this is a cure.

TemporaryAccording to the

National Kidney Foundation, although some patients can live upwards to 30 years on dialysis, the life expec-tancy for someone on dialysis is, on average, five to 10 years.

And yet the wait for a transplant is about that (five years), or even longer, depend-ing on your blood type, said Johnson.

You can helpOn September 21,

the 2014 Comox Valley Kidney Walk/Run will take place at Simms Park in Courtenay.

The 2.5 km walk and the 5 km fun run helps raise funds for The Kidney Founda-tion of Canada, work-ing together to help millions of Canadians suffering from kid-

ney disease. Funds are used to increase organ donation, fund research, provide sup-port for kidney patients and their families, and to educate the public about the importance of kidney health.

Home Medical Shop owner Den-nis Granger took the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. His friend Mike DiCastri, whose father Bill passed away from Lou Gehrigs Disease, issued the challenge. Granger in turn chal-lenged all Valley businesses, in par-ticular DeLuca Veale Investment Counsel in Comox. The challenge raises money for the ALS (and equivalent) associations around the world. The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge has raised in excess of $10 mil-lion for ALS Canada. In the United States, the ALS Associa-tion has benefitted to the tune of more than $112 million. In Great Britain, the cause has raised nearly $11 million (6 million), with an estimated one in six Brits taking part. It has raised $2 million in Australia.

Ronna-Rae Leonard, a three term Courtenay councillor, is seeking the NDP nomination in the new federal riding of Cour-tenay-Alberni.

Courtenay, along with C u m b e r l a n d and the south-ern Comox Val-ley, will be part of the new rid-ing for the 2015 federal election.

Representing this riding is a natural fit, said Leonard.My hus-band and I have lived here since 1990 and raised our two children here.

Leonard ran in the 2011 federal election as the NDP candidate in Vancouver Island North, garnering the most NDP votes ever. A close vote resulted in the election of Con-servative John Dun-can, but a robocall court challenge cast a shadow over the result, with Vancouver Island North citizens coming forward with accounts of voter interference.

Following the 2011 federal election, Leon-ard was elected as a Courtenay councillor for a third term.

I am grateful for

the support I have received, said Leon-ard, who plans to complete her term as councillor. Its been a great privilege to serve

the citizens of Courtenay at City Hall for the last nine years. It tells me that the p r o g r e s s i v e voice here is strong.

L e o n a r d s background is

diverse: working with families and seniors; at the ombudsmans office; as an environ-mental researcher, educator and project manager; and includes decades of community activism. She has taken on leadership roles, like chairing the Van-couver Island Regional Library Board, and spearheading regional task forces for cycling and housing.

In seeking the NDP nomination, Leonard says she is responding to the alarm she hears growing over the Con-servatives dismantling of all that makes us proud to be Canadian.

We have witnessed an overwhelming trashing of environ-

mental protection and an appalling lack of leadership on climate change; growing child poverty and lack of affordable housing, she said. There is an Orwellian assault on our rights and free-doms; and escalating insecurity and cost to Canadians from priva-tization. There isnt a single corner of Can-ada that hasnt been attacked by the Con-servatives.

We, each and every one of us, have an opportunity to work together in 2015 to

help shape Canadas future for the better.

Leonard urges peo-ple to join the NDP by Sept. 19, in time to vote

for her as the candi-date to lead the change in Courtenay-Alberni. Her website is at www.ronnaraeleonard.ca.

Project Linus is a volunteer non-profit orga-nization with a mission to provide love, a sense of security, warmth and comfort to children who are seriously ill, traumatized or in need of comfort through the gift of a new handmade blanket. The Vancouver Island chap-ter donates blankets to the emer-gency and maternal child unit at St. Josephs Hospital several times a year. Project Linus was named after the security blanket-toting character from the Peanuts comic strip.

September is traditionally the time when we think about starting something new, and for those who have been thinking about volunteering, The Views at St. Josephs Hospital has an invitation.

There will be a Volunteer at The Views open house on Thursday, Sept. 25 from 1-2 p.m. where those thinking about volunteering can come for a tour and talk with staff, residents and volun-teers about the many different ways they can get involved, have fun and do good all at the same time.

There are 125 residents at The Views, and more than 100 volunteers. Even at that, the staff and residents would love to have many more volunteers.

There are activities from hosting morning cof-fee break to outings, games, manicures, helping with meals and one-on-one visiting. Pat Tapper, volunteer team leader, does the matchmaking between volunteer and placement.

We have learned from experience that the best match is one that brings together a persons interests and comfort level, and that fits with the other activities in their lives, she says. Volun-teering here is fun and social, and we really know that we make a huge difference for both staff and residents.

We want people to be comfortable coming to The Views to just see if it might be what theyre looking for, Brenda Phillips, director of activa-tion said. We have many dedicated volunteers who have found that their own lives have been enriched through their relationship with us, and wed like to extend that network to new people.

For more information, contact Pat Allan, man-ager of volunteer services, at 250-339-1548.

The Pacific Salmon Founda-tion announced that the Oys-ter River Enhancement Society is the recipient of Community Salmon Program grants total-ling almost $27,000.

The announcement was made at Black Creek, part of Bear Creek Nature Park in the Comox Valley, with Minister John Duncan (MP-Vancouver Island North) and visiting Man-itoba MP Bob Sopuck, who is a member of the Standing Com-mittee on Fisheries and chair of the Conservative Hunting and Angling Caucus. The grants are two of 18 distributed by the foundation in Vancouver Island North that total more than $165,000 this year.

The first project involves con-struction of an aluminum salm-on box to hold adult chinook, coho, pink and chum salmon until they are ready to spawn.

The second will go towards cre-ating a pool that will provide improved habitat for adult and juvenile salmonids.

The grants from the Pacific

Salmon Foundation will direct-ly support our hatchery, which now has the capacity to support over 2.5 million coho, pink, chi-nook and chum salmon eggs,

The Immigrant Welcome Centre is forming local partner-ship councils in the Comox Val-ley and Campbell River.

The centre is appealing to local governments and cham-bers of commerce. Councils will

help identify priority needs for newcomers integrating into the region.

Immigration is absolutely essential to the future of this country, Jon Ambler said Mon-day at Courtenay council.

IWC executive director Rachel Blaney expects to form the councils in the new year.

The centre has been helping newcomers settle in the region since 1992. From April, 2013 to March, 2014, it served 839 cli-ents from 62 countries of origin.

For more information, call 250-338-6359 in the Valley, or visit www.immigrantwelcome.ca.

Mark AllanSpecial to The Record

You will never be able to look at the bicycle the same way again after expe-riencing multi-media show SPIN.

Versatile Toronto per-former Evalyn Parry will present her creation Sept. 20 at the Sid Williams The-atre as part of the Sids Blue Circle Series, and sponsored by Courtenay Recreation.

SPIN billed as Star-ring the Bicycle as muse, musical instrument, and agent of social change has toured extensively around Canada and the U.S. since it premiered in Toronto in 2011.

Why a bike?Why focus on the bicycle?It began with my own

love of cycling, Parry responds in an interview. Im mostly an urban cyclist and Ive used the bike most of my life to get around.

When she wrote SPIN, she wanted to find a bridge between my theatre practice and my singer-songwriter-spoken word practice make a show that combined those things into one performance.

As I was searching for

a theme cycling came to me as a passion and some-thing I was interested in and curious to investigate.

I had heard other people speak about the same feel-ing, about how much joy the simple act of riding a bike seems to give those who love to cycle. Its a very singular sort of feeling that the bike gives us.

Parry had also heard about a connection between the bicycle and the womens emancipation movement of the late-19th century.

As I began to research womens suffrage and the early womens rights move-ment indeed there was a gold mine of amazing sto-ries about women and bicy-cles from the turn of the

century that were incred-ibly inspiring and a real revelation to me.

Inspired by LondonderryAnnie Londonderry, for

example.She was the first woman

to ride around the world on a bike, in 1895, Parry says of the Latvian native

who reinvented herself after moving to the U.S. Just discovering her story blew my mind a little bit, states Parry, who says Lon-donderrys story is featured prominently in SPIN.

She starts riding the bike wearing full-length dress and corset and pet-ticoats and the whole Vic-torian womens dress of the day. As she goes, she starts to make modifications to her outfit, which make rid-ing more easy.

The evolution of Lon-donderrys dress played a role in a transition of wom-ens fashion, giving women more freedom of mobility.

While riding what Parry calls her freedom machine, she says quiet genius Londonderry pio-neered such modern tech-niques as public relations and advertising spin.

Londonderry, says Parry, sold advertising on her bike and her clothes, becoming in essence a moving bill-board.

Parry sees a parallel between Londonderrys epic quest and what it means to be an independent art-ist nowadays and how you have to be your own PR machine.

Not a one-person per-formance, SPIN includes Brad Hart actually playing

a 1970s bicycle as a percus-sion instrument.

The very first time we tried it, it was just hitting the bike to see if it makes noise, Parry chuckles.

The addition of small contact microphones on the bike created this whole new world of unexpected and amazing sounds. At the end of the show, people walk up and stare at the bicycle.

Evalyn Parry performs SPIN on Sept. 20 at the Sid Williams Theatre.

Part theatre, part musi-cal gig, part spoken-word poetry and part documen-tary whatever it is, it is brilliant, wrote the Toronto Star.

Parry comes by her social conscience honestly.

Her father David was a member of iconic Toronto folk ensemble The Friends of Fiddlers Green, and her mother Caroline was a childrens music performer, author and folklorist. Eva-lyns brother Richard is a member of Arcade Fire.

More about Parry is at www.evalynparry.com. For details about her Sid performance, visit www.sidwilliamstheatre.com or phone 250-338-2430.

Mark Allan is a freelance writer and a former editor of the Comox Valley

Record.
