Quadraphonics will feature a variety of artists in several genres. The event, Saturday, August 25, 2001, will begin some time after 9. Starting the show will be Brad Cran, poet, writer, essayist, and head of the BC Federation of Writers. Cran’s writings have appeared in the Globe and Mail, The Vancouver Sun, The Utne Reader, and Geist Magasine. Cran was born in Vancouver and has recently been living in Montreal. The next segment will feature a modern dance piece choreographed by Zoe Koeleman (Quadra Island native) and Daylan Pflug, called “Take On Me.” Then the music will begin. Jacob Cino (skinluna and Third Eye Tribe), Vancouver music producer and DJ, will spin the records and get the house grooving to his excellent styles of electronica. Next up will be the band, Foam Mesh, who will bring their unique brand of rock to Quadra. Foam Mesh will consist of Jeremy McCarron, Mark Doucette, Robin Steen and Laird Salton- they are all born and live in Vancouver. Rounding out the evening will be DJ Paola, who will bring her skills and talents and surely

have everybody dancing their socks off. Throughout all the music, there will be slide, 16mm film, and video projections, courtesy of Suez Holland, multimedia animator and instructor at the Gulf Islands Film and Television School. Also, Action Collect (James Nizam and Trent Larson), will show a multimedia installation art piece. The Medium A/V Club (Medium Events) have produced several multimedia shows in Vancouver, all well attended and well received by the people of Vancouver. “Genre Busters” is what the The Georgia Straight has called them. Medium is an artist collective and they joint produce their events. Events Coordinator, Laird Salton, having spent much time on Quadra and knowing the locals warm reception toward the arts, thought that Quadra’s new facility would be the perfect place to produce a Medium Event. All of the artists involved have connections to the Islands of the Georgia Straight and this is the first time they have brought a Medium Event on the road. They are looking forward to Saturday.

Quadraphonics, An Evening of Art Music and Dancing

The first meeting for the fall season will take place on September 10 at 7 pm in the Community Centre. Diane Vieaux will talk about “The Growing and Harvesting of Everlastings”. Diane’s expertise in this area is well known and she will not only have a handout to share but also some unusual seeds. The last wind storm reminded us that the winter is approaching and a bouquet of colourful dried flowers will be a more than welcome sight on these dull November days.

The garden club welcomes new members. Membership is $10 per year and includes not only free attendance at meetings but also a 10% discount at many garden store.

There is a drop-in charge of $2 for non-members to help defray costs. We have an interesting line-up of speakers for the next year and will continue with our other popular features - the Bring and Buy table, display table, magazine exchange, plants needed and to exchange board and of course, coffee, tea and a goodie to round out the evening. Please bring any plants you may have already divided or want to get rid of for the Bring and Buy table, old gardening magazines and something for the display table when you come on September 10. If you have any questions or would like to help, please contact Eileen. Mackay at 285 3194.

WE NEED YOUR STUFF!

Once again we are looking for your valuable donations to support a worthy cause through the QUADRA PHILIPPINES CONNECTIONíS 7th ANNUAL GIANT GARAGE SALE to be held at the community centre on Sunday, September 23rd. Proceeds from this fund-raising event go towards Quadraís continuing sponsorship of the Ipil and Mabato daycare/preschools in the northern Philippines. Our contribution of $2500 provides annual stipends to 2 teachers, Magdalena Gumabay and Josepha Maduli in support of their dedicated effort and work with the young children of their respective villages. Parents in these communities are thus able to hike into mountainous areas to work in their kaingins (gardens) or rice fields, knowing that their children are being cared for and educated safely back home.

Take advantage of this opportunity to clear out the old and make room for the new! All clean donations in good working order will be gratefully

accepted. (Give-a-ways but not throw-a-ways please!) We ask your assistance this year in pricing larger items prior to drop-off. Sorting and pricing is an all day event, and your assistance will greatly speed up the process! Once again, we thank those people who have kindly offered their homes as drop-off locations until September 21st:Heriot Bay Lise & Ricky Burnett 285-3558 Quathiaski Cove Mary & Bill Pirie 285-3691 Back Road Milton Road Greenhouse 285-2076 South End Ruth Powell & Chris Thompson 285-3695 Cape Mudge We-Wai-Kai Nursery School 285-2616

Drop-off can be made directly to the community centre on Saturday, September 22nd until 3:00 p.m. We will be looking for volunteers to sort through goods on that day.

The entries are in, the judges are making their decision and on Sept. 3 three local writers will get a phone call telling them they won a prize in the Second Annual Quadra Arts Alliance Postcard Story Contest. That’s the deadline for the winners to be announced -- three stories picked out of 48 entries -- for a fi rst prize of $100, second prize $75 and third prize $25. As well, the judges will pick three submissions for honourable mention. The winning entries will be published in the next issue of the Discovery Islanders as well as brief biographies of the writers. Joy Inglis, one of the organizers of the event, said the Arts Alliance has booked Oct. 6 at the community centre for a reading by the writers of the winning submissions.” “I’d also like to see everyone who participated come out and read their submissions too,” she said. The Arts Alliance has to meet in September to plan the event a bit further but Joy is hoping there might be some music as well. Three local residents

have volunteered as judges and at deadline for this week’s issue had yet to sit down to read the submissions. “We’re going to read everyone’s work individually at fi rst and then we’ll get together and see if we can agree on the ones we liked best,” said Joyce Baker who worked as a teacher librarian for 12 years at Quadra Elementary. Barb Van Orden, Quadra branch manager of the Vancouver Regional Library, who is also a judge with her mother-in-law, Hilda Van Orden, said,”We all have backgrounds as teachers and librarians so we have looked at a lot of written material. I’m looking forward to the judging but I would never do this if I had to do it alone because it’s such a subjective thing. “With three of us we should be able to point out qualities of a story that maybe one of us missed,” she said. The judges have no idea of the identities of the writers--submissions will be matched with the authors once they have made their choice and the judges’ decision is fi nal.

Judging Underway for Postcard Contest

Discover the fascinating history of Campbell River from the person who, quite literally, wrote the book. The Museum at Campbell River presents a guided bus/walking tour of the city with historical interpreter, Jeanette Taylor on Sunday, Sept. 9th.Taylor is the author of River City, a history of Campbell River.

From the settlements of thousands of years ago to the present Discovery Harbour Centre, see how the First Nations population continues strong and vibrant; a striking focus on the Campbell River waterfront today, as it was when European explorers arrived over 200 years ago.

Here, European history is little more than 100 years old, so the colourful lives and stories of its settlers are fresh and relevant. Learn about dreamers and developers who envisioned a “Duluth of the north” and families like the Peaceys who braved

cougars and bears at their window before fl eeing south.

If “River City’s” pioneers were not ordinary, neither were its visitors. Before the turn of the century, Sir Richard Musgrave had landed a 70 pound salmon here and by the ‘30’s the King of Siam was emulating him. People staying at the “new” Willows hotel were non-plussed to fi nd that they had to wash their own clothes and polish their shoes without help. Nevertheless, movie stars, magnates, and millionaires kept coming. Photos at Painter’s Lodge attest to visits by hundreds of notables, including Bing Crosby and Zane Gray.

Never dull, Campbell River continues to make groundbreaking decisions about its future. Populated by Vancouver debutantes, English Lords, Scandinavian loggers, the resident First Nations population, dedicated environmentalists and equally dedicated developers, the city’s direction has never been single-minded.

Learn about the factors and faces that made all of this possible, and visit the places where the people lived and dreamed. Incredibly popular, Jeanette’s tour includes several historic stops and short walks so that one sees the history fi rst hand.

Please pre-register. The cost is $30.00. Call 287-3103 for information.

“‘Round Read Island” is a popular new trip for 2001 presented by the Museum at Campbell River and T’ai Li Charters. On September 16th the comfortable Misty Isles cruises through remote and rugged scenery with informative stops along the way. Revisit the lively history and colourful past of this island: beautiful, remote, and accessible only by boat.

Traveling through the maze of channels and islands one views numerous little settlement areas and First Nations village sites. Stop at the location of the old (ca. 1880) notorious Hotel and Saloon owned by Ed Wylie. Wylie was the North Dakota sheriff around whom stories of missing men seemed to gather. Go ashore to visit the Surge Narrows Store, still complete with its old-fashioned counters and bins. Learn from Jeanette Taylor, your on-board historical interpreter, the legends of staunchly independent settlers who included scoundrels and

charlatans. Sense the ghosts and mysteries that haunt the crumbling Bold Point dock, the location of an unsolved mysterious death in 1913.

All the while, your skipper and naturalist, Michael Moore, points out the rich marine life along the route. You are bound to see a splendid variety of both birds and mammals.

It’s the trip that has everything: entertaining and skilled guides, wonderful scenery, natural and human history, and a safe day-trip at sea on a lovely schooner.

The boat leaves the Heriot Bay dock on Quadra Island at 10:00 a.m. and returns at 5:30 p.m. To connect, please drive on the 8:30 a.m. ferry out of Campbell River to leave time to drive across Quadra. Bring a lunch and your camera and dress for the weather.

The cost is $110.00 adults. Please pre-register at the Museum at Campbell River to receive your Program Information. Call 287-3103.

Human activity emits about six billion tones of carbon into the Earth’s atmosphere each year. To reclaim this amount of carbon, all the forests in British Columbia would have to be regrown in a single year. The 417.6 million hectares of forests in Canada were calculated to be a net carbon sink until 1980, collecting and storing more carbon than they emitted. since 1980, however, because of fi res, insects and logging, the nation's forests have been functioning at a net carbon loss, emitting more carbon than they have been storing. In 1996, for example, 944,316 hectares were lost to forest fi res and 7,100,00 hectares were lost to insects and disease. To stabilize climate change caused by warming, global carbon storage will have to increase and emissions will have to decrease by 50 to 60 per cent. Calculations indicate that without signifi cant reductions in the present emission levels, 2050 will be the critical year when our best efforts will be unable to halt the escalating environmental disruptions caused by global warming.

We fi nally had the Grand Opening of the new addition to the Community Centre. It went really well considering the amount of people who were away on holidays. We would like to extend a big Thank You to Martha & Gordon James for the ceramic door labels, AROMA for donating the coffee, Sunday Dennis, Robin Mawhinney, Anne Doolittle, On Root Greenhouse, and Garden Cottage Flowers & Herbs for donating such beautiful flowers! As well, a Thank you to Heather Simpson, Sam Fell, and Lisa MacLean for helping out in the kitchen.

Thank you Rob McKerracher for playing the bagpipe and Joyce Baker for playing the piano. Again, thank you for coming out to celebrate the addition! Everyone is welcome to stop by and have a tour of the new building.

Craig won a gold medal in the 4x400 metre relay and a silver in the individual 400 metres in his age group, boys 17 and under.

“I was neck and neck with the guy who beat me in the 400,” says Craig of this anchor leg run in the relay. “I got a bit of revenge (in the 4x400) because I beat him, and we got the gold.

His opponent was Julien Dugal from Quebec. Julien won the gold in the individual but had to settle for silver in the relay after Craig passed him for the victory.

The Quebec team was followed by a team from Nova Scotia who came third.

“The competition was really stiff,” Craig said. “There were athletes from all across the country.” To make things harder 16 year old Craig raced against 17 year olds in his age group and the weather was not what he’s used to.

“It was 37 degrees and humid, it was really differnt from here.”

The hot weather didn’t hinder his relay teammates, Jordan Shimell, Ward Milligan and Mark Wilkie, or the rest of the B.C. team. Britsh Columbia came home with one third of the medals awarded in Sherbrooke.

Craig ran to the silver medal in 50.5 seconds, a second off his personal best, 49.5 seconds.

Right now Craig is looking ahead to university and faster times.

“I am looking for a scholarship for track jin the states and to bring down my times.”

Growing Treasures for Everyone!

According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, Canadian forest companies are enjoying a production subsidy, via low stumpage fees, that gives our producers a hugely unfair advantage over U.S. producers. In order to counteract this so-called subsidy they have ordered a 19.31% countervailing duty on all Canadian softwood imports, effective August 20, 2001. Within days of the announcement on August 10, several BC mills imposed immediate shutdowns, most located on the lower mainland. Is this situation going to cause signifi cant economic pain in our region?

Before exploring that question, we need to understand the circumstances surrounding the imposition of the duty. One must understand that this is only the latest salvo in a trade dispute that has gone on for decades, more intensely so in the last 20 years. The U.S. government, under intense lobbying pressure from several special interest groups, has negotiated several agreements since the 1980’s; all of which require the Canadian government to impose a tax on forest companies to essentially wipe out any “unfair” advantage gained through low stumpage fees. In the U.S., lumber production is harvested from private lands, with the timber pricing fl uctuating in a normal free market manner. In Canada, 94% of the forest is owned by the public, through our government. This situation, cry the U.S. lobbyists, allows the government to set prices for the standing timber that makes comparative U.S. timber overly expensive. It matters not that

we have had four separate arbitrations in which the presiding body determined this to be untrue – the latest U.S. action completely ignores this historic reality. Our Minister of Trade, Pierre Pettigrew, voiced his frustration recently – “I fi nd it annoying time and time again to reinvent the wheel, especially when you win every time.” In lodging a formal complaint with the World Trade Organization, which asks the WTO to declare the duty illegal, he commented “We have NAFTA, we have the WTO, and softwood lumber is covered by those agreements. So indeed we will have free trade in softwood lumber with the United States.”

That trade in softwood lumber with the U.S. is worth approximately $8 billion a year, about 1/3 of their consumption, with BC accounting for about 50% of that total. The proponents of the duty include U.S. lumber companies, unions and environmental groups. Why environmental groups? They contend Canadian laws inadequately protect forests and the cross-border endangered species that inhabit them. A representative of the Northwest Ecosystem Alliance states “It’s a scary situation to us – they are liquidating their old growth forest. Vulnerable critters are becoming more isolated.” U.S. forest companies point to the fact that over 30 sawmills in the U.S. closed last year, blaming Canada for the loss of jobs, while quietly admitting that age and ineffi ciency played a part in the closures.

Forestry represents some 45% of BC’s economic output, so it is very obvious this issue hits close to home. Now, both our Prime Minister and Premier

are threatening to use our big stick in response – if you want our energy, you better not fool with our lumber exports. Chretien was on the news the other day, pontifi cating on how he told off George Bush. Bush’s Press Secretary, in an interview the next day, states that the issue of energy never came up. On the same subject, the former head of Macmillan Bloedel (coincidentally an American) spoke to forest conference and said that if the U.S. wants to play hardball, they “better learn to speak Arabic and read by candlelight”. What of the present owners of MacBlo – U.S. forestry giant Weyerhaeuser? They aren’t saying. A spokesperson said only the situation is “challenging” and that they want to “get people talking”.

There is no doubt that a war looms – a war of words. British Columbia, including the North Island, is going to experience some short-term pain. But one of the loudest opponents of the countervailing duty is none other than the U.S. Homebuilders Association, who contend that the duty will cripple their industry and cost Americans thousands in additional building costs. In fact, they have joined with Canadian producers to fight their own government. But the point may be moot. The U.S. has enjoyed its best ever performance in the housing industry over the last decade, but it is widely expected the industry will slow dramatically as the U.S. recession takes hold. So even if Canada is successful in fi ghting the duty, it is likely U.S. lumber imports will slow in the near term. It would seem our forest industry is a long way from being “out of the woods”.

Island ReportIsland ReportCommunity Centre Addition Opened in Style

by Tanya Storr

“This is a community centre in the truest sense of the word, because there probably isn’t a person here who hasn’t contributed to this building in some way,” said Quadra Recreation Society president Paul Ryan, as he addressed the crowd at the Community Centre Addition Project grand opening on August 25.

“The community centre is the heart of the community and guess what folks—our heart just got bigger,” added Paul, who was the emcee for the event.

Approximately 70 people gathered for the grand opening last Saturday afternoon. The celebration began with Rob McKerracher filling the hall with the stirring notes of the bagpipes as he marched in front of the new stage. Strung across the front of the stage was a yellow banner emblazoned with the words ‘Thank You Volunteers and Donors. Without You—It Wouldn’t Happen’.

Paul introduced the Recreation Society board members, recognizing their contributions to the addition project. Board member Julie Frank joined him on the stage to present each member of the CCAP Fund Raising, Building Steering, and Grant Writing Committees with a framed drawing of the community centre by Lesley Matthews. Paul also recognized the late Bob Griswold for all his efforts on behalf of CCAP.

Regional district director Jim Abram then addressed the crowd, saying the addition project is a true refl ection of the spirit of the island.

“It’s an incredible accomplishment that couldn’t have been achieved without all the volunteers who worked on it. I’m sorry some of those people can’t be here today to hear the applause,” Jim stated.

One person Jim made special mention of was Quadra Recreation coordinator Sandy Spearing.

“Sandy helped everyone get through the obstacles that were thrown up continually, many of them from the regional district. She also managed to keep the community centre functioning during the construction of the addition, which is a remarkable achievement.”

In his speech, David Smith recalled the original ground breaking of the community centre in the early 1980s. He remembered

trying to drive nails into frozen boards in cold winter temperatures.

David also talked about the CCAP Building Steering Committee, a group that has been instrumental in seeing the addition project through the construction phase. He described how members of the committee were faced with innumerable decisions before and during the construction process.

“I was amazed how quickly we came to consensus. We really got things done,” he noted.

He commended architect Raymond de Beeld for “working with the committee on our design while trying to keep costs down.”

David also thanked Murray Johnson of M.M. Johnson Ltd. for donating a great deal of his personal time as well as a percentage of his offi ce time to the project.

“Murray’s commitment turned out to be huge and he did whatever was necessary to make it work.”

David mentioned Val Barr, who was on all three CCAP committees, as being a key person for the project.

“She was a terrifi c liaison and we can’t thank her enough. I don’t think we’d be as far along today if it wasn’t for Val,” he said.

Murray Johnson told the crowd the story behind the beautiful wood trim found throughout the addition. On July 13, 2000, an intense thunderstorm hit Quadra Island. At 5 a.m. the next morning, the fi re department was called out to extinguish a tree fi re that was

caused by lightning near the community centre. “The fi re was almost 100 feet up in a large Douglas fi r,” Murray recalled.

Todd Scharf felled the tree and the fi re fi ghters put out the blaze. As the fi re had only damaged the top section of the tree, the lower part was used for the addition project. Grant Hayden sawed up the log and the CCAP construction crew dried, ripped, planed, and cut the wood into lumber, which they installed and fi nished as trim in the addition.

On behalf of the fi re department, Murray presented the Recreation Society with a photo essay depicting the tree fi re and the fi re fi ghters’ response. The photos are surrounded by a handsome wood frame made out of wood from the same tree.

Fund Raising Committee member Hilary Stewart and three-year-old Gaelan Phillips did the honour of cutting the ribbon stretched across a doorway to the addition. Those in attendance were then invited to explore the new space and enjoy the food served up by volunteers in the kitchen.

Quadra Recreation Society vice-president and member of the Building Steering Committee Rob Simpson said he is very pleased with the results of the construction.

“The quality of the work, both by John Toelle Construction and Randy Goertz and his crew, is excellent. I’m really pleased with how well the addition fi ts both inside and out. It feels unifi ed with the original

building. It’s already being used and I’m getting some good feedback. Some of the finishing touches still to come will enhance it further,” Rob observed.

Chantal Rose, who started volunteering on the Fund Raising Committee and then switched to the Grant Writing Committee when it was formed, said it feels satisfying to help fi t a need in the community.

“The addition looks beautiful,” she added.

George Murdoch has been involved in the addition project since it was initiated over nine years ago. He acknowledged that designing a public space is always a compromise, but he feels the addition is a compromise that best serves the needs of most people.

“It has been a long haul and it’s good to feel a sense of completion. It’s like a Quadra house—it’s never complete, but we’re about as far along as most people’s houses,” he stated.

Several people made their way up the stairs to look at the spacious and bright meeting room on the second fl oor.

“This room is so nice,” said Joy Inglis, adding that there will be an evening performance of postcard story readings there on October 6.

Vernon Price said it was very exciting to be at the grand opening. Elaine Price added that she is pleased to see the community centre now has a green room for performers.

“We look forward to being in the

building and working with the people here, whether on stage or in one of the meeting rooms,” she said.

Hilary Stewart declared that after eight years on the Fund Raising Committee it was very exciting to see the addition completed and be part of the celebration.

“It’s a great accomplishment on the part of so many people. That’s what the community is all about—it gives you a good feeling to be a part of it. I hope everybody is going to use the addition to the full, take care of it, enjoy it, and continue to donate to pay it off.”

CCAP treasurer Nancy Allwarden said CCAP has a $37,000 bank loan as well as a $20,000 private loan to pay off. During the grand opening, more generous donations were received and fund raising will be ongoing over the coming months.

Joyce Baker, who played piano during the grand opening, commented that it was a lovely event and a real pleasure to see the addition fi nished.

“I feel so grateful to all the volunteers who worked so hard on it,” she said.

If you were unable to attend the grand opening and would like to see the addition, call Quadra Community Centre at 285-3243 to arrange a tour.


Cortes E-Team Tackled Variety of Projects

The Cortes E-Team: (from top left) Alex Laberge, William Hastings, Mary Clare Preston, Lauren Graham, Candace Jordan, Santana Francis.

by Tanya Storr

An Environmental Youth Team, or E-Team, tackled a variety of projects this summer on Cortes Island. E-Team supervisor Mary Clare Preston said the youth initiative turned out to be a total success.

“My favourite part was watching the participants fi nd their niche in the projects and the places where they could contribute the most and fl ourish,” Mary Clare told me in a telephone interview from Cortes.

The E-Team, also known as the Cortes Ecoforestry Youth Initiative, was a project of the Friends of Cortes Island Society (FOCI). FOCI supports a number of projects and has a broad membership base consisting primarily of Cortes residents, resident landowners, and non-resident landowners.

The projects the E-Team worked on included participating in the Marine Stewardship Initiative (another FOCI project), mapping Manson’s Lagoon in all its diverse habitats, training and working as streamkeepers, and working with BC Parks.

The E-Team worked mostly on projects that already existed, but they also created the streamkeepers project.

“Getting the streamkeepers project going is a really good community based initiative. It will be good for the waterways and will educate people in the community about them,” said Mary Clare, adding that Cortes School and Linnea School became involved in the streamkeepers project and plan to continue working on it.

She added that the biggest goal for the E-Team project was to expose the youth to experiential, hands-on learning.

“You can talk about something until you’re blue in the face, but it really sinks in when you do something. Our goals included learning about what’s involved in environmental inventories, both in the fi eld and in the offi ce.”

In addition to Mary Clare as supervisor, the E-Team had fi ve team members aged 16-21. Three of the youth were from Cortes and the other two were from Vancouver. The E-Team members were Candace Jordan, Alex Laberge, Lauren Graham, Santana Francis, and Bronwen Tigar.

“Each member brought their own skills and character to the team. It was a totally diverse group,” noted Mary Clare.

The artistic talents of some of the members of the E-Team greatly enhanced the map of Manson’s Lagoon that the group worked on. Once the map is complete, it will be on display in Manson’s Landing Hall.

“It will be a beautiful biodiversity map which is both technically and artistically profi cient,” said Mary Clare.

Mary Clare also worked with youth in the summer of 2000 with the Cortes Island Ecoforestry Initiative. A grant from the Tides Foundation made it possible for Mary Clare to work with four youth for three days per week that summer, surveying old roadbeds for the Cortes Ecoforestry Society for mapping purposes.

Mary Clare completed her fi rst year of a two-year Forestry Technician Program at Selkirk College in Castlegar this past spring. In January she juggled her schoolwork with the arduous task of putting together a proposal for an E-Team with the help of FOCI offi ce manager Kathy Smail.

“This year I wanted to be working with more technical environmental monitoring based projects,” Mary Clare explained.

The Tides Foundation agreed to donate another grant to the youth initiative and the provincial government accepted the E-Team proposal in mid-April. Mary Clare managed to obtain funding towards her summer salary through Selkirk College’s co-op program.

As E-Team supervisor, her responsibilities included completing the large amount of paperwork that comes with any government-funded project, meeting safety requirements, and training and supervising the crew.

Mary Clare attributes a great deal of her success to the people who helped with the E-Team, including Kathy Smail, Sabina Leader-Mense, Andy Ellingsen, Bruce Ellingsen, Liz Richardson, Norberto Rodriguez, and David Edwards.

She pointed out that not only did the E-Team create jobs for herself and the youth, it also provided the youth with an opportunity to acquire skills, make a positive contribution towards the environment, and create awareness.

Lauren Graham, one of the E-Team members who calls Vancouver home, said over the phone that she really enjoyed the E-Team experience.

“I liked the fact that we were able to work outside a lot and I liked the variety

in the job. Every week or couple of weeks we’d be working on different projects, so we got a lot of training. Some of the training you could probably take in a college or university course, but I think it stuck in my head more because it was hands-on,” said Lauren.

Lauren, a 20-year-old UBC Arts student, had participated in an E-Team project in Vancouver from January to March, and found a job posting for the Cortes E-Team on the Youth Options BC web site. She found the posting interesting because of the opportunity to learn about biology and mapping.

Lauren and Bronwen were two of 50 out-of-town applicants who applied for the Cortes positions. They managed to fi nd a place to rent together on Cortes for the summer so they could participate in the E-Team project.

Lauren said what will stand out when she looks back on the experience is the opportunity it provided to spend so much time in nature and to document what they were learning.

“The map of Manson’s Lagoon is a very visual way of showing the community what we were working on. I really liked being on the E-Team and living on Cortes for the summer.”

TUTORING

Lock, Stock and Smoking Barrels – superb –

A wonderful movie with great humour, Superb character, a ploy you won’t believe, state of the art camera work and a lovable bunch of wankers – so to speak.A full cast of bad guys, low lifers, and dirty rats. Sort of a Reservoir Dogs meets the Full Monty. The Suicide Kings also comes to mind. The viewers howled and gave it the prized Golden Scallop – well a couple gave it 4 clams, but you get the ideal. It’s a sleeper, get it, you’ll rave about it too. A bit violent though.

Cider House Rules – 4

No, not like Cider House Rocks; Rules, such as, don’t smoke in bed. That kinda rules. And by golly, an excellent movie with no violence, profanity, or awfulness, and on top of that, it was a feel good fl ick without manipulation or pandering to our tear ducts. Everyone did a fine job, and the storyline was powerful, moving, and sensitive – great for the whole family. The basic plot revolves around the orphan growing up in an orphanage about WW II era, and his journey of body and mind from that place, and ultimately back again. I’ve seen the hero in a couple of other great flicks, including Mars Attacks and he always comes off as gentle and good. He has a kind of young innocence and slightly bemused feel about him. Michael Caine plays his mentor and surrogate father at the orphanage. I think what I liked best was the kindness of the movie, the characters sometimes had hard and diffi cult choices, but what came through was their basic goodness and kindness toward each other and those less fortunate. It’s not, repeat NOT, a schlocky tear jerker. Get it, you’ll love it and everyone in it.
