«COVER STORY
Tween Club prepped for storytellingGirls will bring author’s story to life with Family Literacy Day play
SUSAN QUINNALBERNI VALLEY NEWS
Members of the Tween Club at the Port Alberni public library take turns reading their lines, and imagining themselves as crayons. They are rehearsing an interactive play for Family Literacy Day, based on Drew Daywalt’s book, The Day the Crayons Quit, illustrated by Oliver Jeffers.
“When they first started the club, they mentioned that they wanted to do a play,” says Robin Kelley, customer service librarian-children and youth services at the public library.
“We needed some kind of performance
for Family Literacy Day and I asked if they would like to do a readers’ theatre performance. They said yes.”
The girls have been
rehearsing their “crayon” parts and making their costumes during Tween Club time at the library.
The story begins when Duncan decides he wants to colour, but when he opens his box of crayons—they’re all gone! In their place is a number of letters all saying the same thing:
“We quit!” What follows is a
hilarious adventure.Family Literacy Day
activities take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Echo Centre.
They are designed for children aged two to eight years.
The program is free, but families must pre-register at Echo Centre, as space is limited.
This event is presented by Parks, Recreation and Heritage in partnership with the Vancouver Island Regional Library, School District 70, PacificCARE, Alberni Valley Community School, Alberni Children First Networkand Literacy Alberni.

Plans progress for Beaver Creek parkKRISTI DOBSONSPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Last fall, Jillian Ralston put the wheels in motion to develop a new park in Beaver Creek
and is now starting to see her efforts come to fruition. The one thing she needs now is funds and has a lofty fundraising goal, which she hopes will come together with the help of the community.
Ralston, a mother and business owner, has lived in Beaver Creek for the past five years and has always wanted a park nearby for her young son.
When she saw the vacant lot of the former Nordstrom Park next to the Beaver Creek Fire Hall, she saw an opportunity and put the word out to garner support.
“I have driven past it every day and always wanted to do something with it,” Ralston said.
She created a Facebook page and thought she would get interest only from other Beaver Creek
residents, but says she’s had a large positive response.
“People are jumping on the committee and everyone seems to want to help,” she said.
“I want to get the entire community on board and have it as a
community park.” In September,
Ralston started working with the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District (ACRD).
She mapped out a plan and submitted a proposal to be able to start fundraising.
She posted some makes and models of playground equipment on the Facebook page and had interested individuals decide on the best structure.
In December she was approved with the support of the Beaver Creek
Advisory Commission and Beaver Creek Volunteer Fire Department and has the task of raising up to $50,000.
The funds raised will cover the cost of equipment, shipping, installation, gravel, borders and having
the required certified inspector on site to oversee the work.
“At first $50,000 seemed daunting, but I looked at it with the perspective of 500 donations of $100,” she said.
“I think that is doable.”
Ralston has considered registering the group of volunteers as a nonprofit organization to be able to apply for grants, but since most grants for 2016 have been already issued, it would put a delay on plans. Ideally she hopes to have the grounds park-ready by September.
She is starting the year off by hosting a beer and burger event and hopes to have one fundraiser per month. The first one will be held at Boston Pizza on Thursday, Jan. 28 at 6 p.m. and includes a burger, fries and a beer.
There will also be a 50/50 and silent auction. Tickets are $20 and available at On Top Fashions on Gertrude Street.
Donations dropped off at the regional district office will be issued a tax receipt and an account has also been opened at the bottle depot.
For more information, search Nordstrom Park Planning and Construction on Facebook.

ADSS band students prepare for trip to CubaKRISTI DOBSONSPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Forty-five band students from Alberni District Secondary School will be spending their March 2016 spring break in Cuba.
After a lot of fundraising and extra rehearsals, band director Michelle Dyler said they will be ready for the busy and long-awaited cultural exchange.
The Grade 10–12
students are part of a small tour band and will spend their time in the country performing, but also taking in what the culture has to offer.
They will have the opportunity to
take part in a joint program performance at the Ministry of Culture, participate in a percussion and Latin Rhythms workshop and attend performances by local artists.
Other highlights include a walking tour of Old Town Havana and the Parque Historico del Morro, exchanges to two arts high schools, a salsa dance class, a tour of the Vinales
Valley, shopping and swimming.
Dyler hopes the students get the most out of the experience. One eye-opener she said they have been preparing for is humanitarian work at
an orphanage. “The students
watched a documentary on Cuba and its history and learned how different the economy is from here,” Dyler said.

My “common-law” spouse and I each want to keep our assets if we break up, can we do that?The Family Law Act came into effect in March 2013 and rede� ned how “common-law” spouses divide assets and debt if they separate. “Common-law” spouses, a couple who has lived together for at least two years, are now treated the same as married spouses. The basic presumption is that all assets and debts accumulated during the relationship are divided equally upon separation. If this doesn’t re� ect you and your spouse’s wishes, consider entering into a cohabitation or prenuptial agreement.Contact us to discuss your options and book a one-hour consultation, at 250-591-1055.

Former Port Alberni city manager Ken Watson’s switch to a newly-created major projects advisor role will aid the city in its major 2016 infrastructure initiatives—and prepare him for retirement, Mayor Mike Ruttan said of Thursday’s shakeup at city hall.
Port Alberni Fire Chief Tim Pley will act as city manager until a replacement is hired.
“He (Watson) will be an employee of the city until Dec. 31,” said Ruttan. “He’s getting close to retirement and it’s a mutual decision.”
Watson has served at the city for over a quarter-century, first as city engineer and then as city manager. In his new role, Ruttan said that Watson will help the city reduce its reliance on consultants as it takes on three major projects.
“He’s moving into a senior advisory role as well as helping with a series of projects we have on the go,” Ruttan said. “He will be able to provide that advice perhaps in lieu of consultants that we may otherwise have hired.”
Watson had no public comment on the issue, however, addressed the changes with an internal letter sent to all staff members.
Those projects include the city’s switchover to the former Catalyst sewage lagoon, the Coal Creek outfall on upper Third Avenue and a proposed partnership between
the city and the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District to use Sproat Lake as a backup drinking water reservoir for the city.
Using Sproat Lake as backup water source has been considered before. In a 2010 Alberni Valley Regional Water Study Update commissioned by the ACRD, Sproat Lake was selected as the “preferred regional water supply system, on the basis of obtaining a filtration deferral for both sources.”
Ruttan said that the use of Sproat Lake water would help the city—and perhaps the whole Alberni Valley—in the future.
“It ultimately could become the water supply for the entire Valley and as we move further and further down the road of climate change, Sproat Lake water may become increasingly more important.”
As far as changes to city management go, Ruttan said that while Watson’s change of position is only “indirectly” related to the yet-to-be released Judy Rogers management review, more changes will come quickly.
The city previously changed Theresa Kingston’s position from director of corporate services to director of community services and moved the information technology department to be under the wing of the finance department.
“The changes are just starting,” Ruttan [email protected]

Water main breaks on JohnstonKATYA SLEPIANALBERNI VALLEY NEWS
City crews spent most of Friday and Monday repairing a water main break in front of the Blue Marlin Inn on Johnston Road.
“It started around 9 a.m. [Friday] and we could see it on
our SCADA computer but we didn’t know where it was yet,”
said waterworks chargehand Amar Giri.
Crews got to work
just before 10 a.m. on Friday, digging down five feet to the 14-inch asbestos cement pipe.
They first attempted to install a clamp over the leak but were unsuccessful and applied a temporary fix over the weekend before going back to work Monday.
“The clamp didn’t work on Friday and we discovered that another repair had been done close [to the leak]. We decided to cut a piece of C900 plastic pipe in,” said Giri. Six metres of pipe was [email protected]

ort Alberni resident Sean Sutton has a rare ability.
An oil-and-gas sector truck driver, Sutton
sees both sides of the business-versus-environment argument.
Sutton, who has lived in Port Alberni since August, has worked in northern B.C. for more than a year. The resource-extraction sector remains vital to our economy.
He responded last week to a Facebook post by former B.C. MLA Judi Tyabji about the B.C.
government formally opposing the Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion.
The government contends Kinder Morgan has not provided the NEB with an adequate plan to prevent or respond to an oil spill, one of five conditions Victoria demands for all oil pipeline projects.
“I don’t think the government wanted to say no to Kinder Morgan; I think they wanted them to be
compliant so they could find a ‘yes,’ but that didn’t happen,’ ” Tyabji astutely analyzed.
The B.C. Liberals enthusiastically support the resource sector, which the government projects will provide $1.456 billion to the treasury in the 2015-16 fiscal year.
Victoria’s support, which obviously includes job creation, pits it against people concerned about the global environment.
Enter Sutton, and his ability to see both sides of the coin.
“First of all, it is time for us, from government to local baristas to
find alternatives to fossil fuels, etc.,” he contended.
We need options, he added, after seeing how oil and gas is extracted from the earth and the
noxious byproducts he carries in his truck up to 40,000 litres at a time.
That’s music to the ears of environ-mentalists who are properly alarmed at
humankind’s role in climate change. Through November, record high global temperatures were recorded for seven consecutive months, reported the U.S. National Centers
for Environmental Information.
Then Sutton flips the coin.
“I am a blue-collar worker to the core. That is all I have ever done and it’s really all I know.”
Like many other joes and janes toiling in oil-patch jobs, he has bills to pay. “Because of our choices and jobs, we would make up to 50 per cent less at home … so here we are.”
He’s miffed, he said, at the bad press the “patch” gets.
“Remember that most of us up here are providing stuff that you all need and use every day.”
As much as we need to save our planet for future generations, we need to provide for our families now. The resource
sector provides many paycheques.
The Alberni Valley is only one region of B.C. that already has high unemployment.
Replacing fossil fuels with something easier on the planet will take time, and the transition will be painful.
Regrettably, a four- or five-year election cycle is not conducive to long-range planning.
We need visionaries in government to guide us through a difficult transition. We must communicate our expectations and hold our politicians to them.

ort Alberni Mayor Mike Ruttan last week made what he promises is only the first move in a shakeup at city hall. Citing the management review that was undertaken last year, Ruttan moved city manager Ken Watson into a special projects role so he can better utilize
his engineering degree, and has appointed fire Chief Tim Pley as interim city manager.
Many rumours are flying around town about what this move means. We are just as curious as others to see what the mayor has planned for city staff.
We are also curious to see how far this shakeup goes: especially with a council that is only one year old. There is a difference between ‘we’ve always done it this way’ and ‘we don’t know what we’re doing’. Only time will tell which option we have ended up with.

From / A3“I think they will see
how privileged we are here and that we can’t take things like running water and food for granted.
They have to be self-reliant because they can’t just buy new things so they fix their instrument reeds and other parts.”
The trip to Havana is a first for the band program and was inspired from the experiences of other schools.
“We heard of other school districts doing similar trips and how rewarding and enriching they were,” Dyler said.
“So we wanted to try it ourselves.”
To prepare, the various jazz bands have been taking in extra practices before school and at lunch.
They have also helped to reduce the costs through bottle drives, chocolate sales, a tag day and Christmas kettles.
The next bottle driveis set for Saturday, Jan. 30 so students are hoping the community saves all the holiday beverage containers until then.
A large contribution students will leave in Cuba is a collection of instruments. They are currently collecting used music supplies and instruments to clean up and fix, which will be used for their own performances before being gifted to locals. Dyler asks if anyone has an instrument to donate, please e-mail [email protected] or band director, Margot McNally at [email protected].
Trip promisesto be eye-opener
KRISTI DOBSONSPECIAL TO THE NEWS
There may be little choice for where some students can enroll in district schools this September.
Following the closure of two elementary schools and the consequent reconfiguration this year, there are currently more students than some schools can accommodate. Proposed changes are being addressed and superintendent Greg Smyth hopes the early conversations will help ease anxiety.
“The proposed changes relate to John Howitt and Wood (elementary schools),” Smyth said. “At John Howitt, it is an issue of having
more students than the school can accommodate.”
He said that when the school changes to a K-7 for the 2016-17 year, there will be less space for the out-of-catchment students.
“We are looking at enrolment projections,” Smyth said. “While we try to confirm those projections, we are having conversations with the school community. If there is not enough room, we will identify a process for out-of-catchment students to determine which families stay and which will return to their catchment schools.”
To help the process, minor amendments were made to SD70 Policy 500, a policy which determines
student admissions and schools of choice. The only changes made were to clarify the process. He said that although this is a long-standing process on how to determine student enrolment, the board is in position this year to apply the policy.
About 20 parents of attended the board meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 12 to express concern.
“We understand that they are experiencing
some anxiety about potential changes and are concerned about not being able to attend their school of choice,” Smyth said.
“Some parents are surprised that their kids aren’t automatically grandfathered to the schools but the catchment area families have the first priority. That has always been the case.”
Smyth attended the Wood Elementary PAC meeting on Wednesday and will meet with the John Howitt PAC this Tuesday, Jan. 19 for open conversation.
A boundary change in South Port will see some students from Maquinna and Wood elementary schools shift to E.J. Dunn this September.
“Wood will shrink quite significantly and Maquinna a little,” he said. “If every student said they wanted to (continue to) go to Wood, we wouldn’t be able to accommodate them all.”
y the end of February, Smyth expects to confirm enrolment of catchment students currently attending and returning. After February, the projected enrolment at Wood will be examined. Smyth said he expects to see an over-capacity.
By mid-March, returning out-of-catchment student numbers will be determined. New out-of-catchment students will only be accommodated where there is space.

Suicide must be covered carefully
PAMELAANAWellness Matters
Suicide. It’s a difficult topic to bring up and an even
more difficult topic for the media to report. News stories, articles, and dramatic presentations on the subject of suicide have come under question in the last few years. The concern has been that such presentations may have encouraged some persons to attempt suicide. There is confusion about how the subject of suicide should be treated to minimize this danger.
As a service to the news media and to the people making public presentation on the
subject of suicide, the American Association of Suicidology and the Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention (CASP) offer the following guidelines. These are intended to be general statements to aid in a responsible presentation of information about suicide.
To discourage imitative or copycat suicides, it is important to avoid or minimize:
Reporting specific details of the method
Descriptions of a suicide as unexplainable e.g., “He/she had everything going for him/her.”

Getting a great finish on your project is the result of careful planning and preparation. Consider the final use of the item and the conditions that it will be subject to. Also, consider the facilities and equipment needed as well as the level of skill required to achieve a professional looking result.
Most woodworkers are not fortunate enough to have a dedicated facility for applying their finishes, which means that most finishing is done in the shop the project was built in.
No matter how much to try to clean your shop, there will always be some fine dust on the lighting fixtures or other objects. This is problematic when applying a film finish as these small particles will settle on the finish as it cures leaving a rough, sandpaper like surface.
This is made worse when using a compressor driven spray gun as the high pressure air from the gun will dislodge these particles. Switching to a High Volume, Low Pressure (HVLP) system to spray your finishes will raise the percentage of the coating that is actually applied to the surface while also reducing the turbulent air, which in turn will reduce the amount of dust displaced.
For professional looking results that any finishing novice can achieve I recommend Milk Paint. Foolproof, easy to apply paint has been around for hundreds of years and is composed of a
mixture of minerals, clay, casein (milk protein) and natural pigments. It is available as a powder and you mix it with water as needed. Once mixed, it can be stored for a day in the fridge, but it is best to mix only what you will be need at that moment.
I use a small food chopper to mix the paint and with the surface thoroughly sanded, it is a simple matter of applying an even coat with a brush.
When the paint is dry, usually within about 15 minutes, take some 000 steel wool and rub the entire surface to remove the rough residue. At this point, you can apply a second coat for a richer effect or leave it as is.
As a finishing material, milk paint is very versatile and using some simple techniques, it is possible to create some stunning distressed finishes.
Until it receives a protective top coat, milk paint will be affected by moisture. After the final coat has dried and been buffed with the steel wool I apply a coat of Watco Natural Oil. With two coats of this, the surface will be ready for daily use.
A wipe on finish such as the Watco Oil is ideal for dusty shops.
This oil is applied with a piece of cheesecloth and allowed to soak in. After an hour, apply a second coat, after 15 minutes wipe off the excess, and buff the surface. Watco provides more of an ‘in the wood’ finish compared to a high build polyurethane.

Joop Scheffers, left, and Dave Ollenberger of the Europa Club hand over a cheque for $9,000 to Gretchen Carlson, executive director of the Alberni Valley Hospice Society. The Europa Club dissolved in October and chose to donate its remaining funds to help operations at Ty Watson House Hospice, Sheffers said. “Most of our operations funding comes from
community donations,” Carlson said. “Hopefully in the future we’ll look at adding more beds. We’re in the process of talking about how we can provide more beds in the community.”

Sean Hogan plays Sessions at Sproat BC roots and
country artist Sean Hogan brings his unique, soul-stirring and compelling voice to the Lakeside lounge known as Drinkwaters Public House at Sproat Lake Landing.
This is part of their ongoing music series, Sessions at Sproat Lake Landing. Hogan will perform Friday, Jan. 22 and Saturday, Jan. 23 from 7–9 p.m. nightly.
Back around 1993- 1994, Hogan played the old Westbay Hotel—more than 20 years later, he returns to what is now known as Sproat Lake Landing, with a career that has gone national.
Hogan fondly remembers the beaver dam on the lake, and
watching the animals making the new lodge. “I’ll be able to perform at this beautiful new and gorgeously set facility, Drinkwaters,” he said.
Hogan took note of the new facility while on his way to play Tofino last year. “It’s gonna be special for those who’d like to relax socialize and enjoy the fire, the view, a great dinner, a drink or two and hear some music from my career and their favourite singer/songwriters as well.”
With a stylistic sound that industry observers have said is balanced between alt-country authenticity and modern rustic pop appeal, Hogan’s 1996 debut album was loud and clear, earning
him the first-ever Canadian Country Music Associations Independent Male Artist of the Year Award, followed in 2003 by the nod for Canadian Country Music Associations Roots Artist of the Year.
Hogan has had 19 music videos on Country Music Television Canada to dat,e and has released six albums in Canada and had over dozen top 20 and several top 10 hits on country radio in the past 18 years.
He regularly tours throughout Canada; and released in December his double album Best Of collection entitled Noteworthy, that goes beyond radio hits.
Sean Hogan is returning to Sproat Lake for the first time in more than 20 years to play Drinkwaters Social House, as part of Sessions at Sproat Lake Landing.

From / A6Reporting romanticized
versions of the reasons for the suicide(s), e.g., “We want to be together for all eternity.”
Simplistic reasons for the suicide, e.g., “Adolescent dies by suicide because of curfew.”
In addition, the print media can reduce the imitative effect by:
• Printing story on inside page;
• If story must appear on first page, print it below the fold;
• Avoid the word “suicide” in the headline;
• Avoid printing a photo of the person who died by suicide;
It is important to report a suicide in a
straightforward manner so that the suicide does not appear exciting. Reports should not make the suicidal person appear admirable, nor should they seem to approve of the suicide.
To encourage prevention of suicide, it is helpful to:
• Present alternatives to suicide, e.g., calling a suicide prevention centre, getting counselling, etc.
• Whenever possible, present examples of positive outcomes of people in suicidal crises, such as this story: http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/alison-tedford/joshua-beharry-advocate_b_8614862.html.
• Provide information on community resources for
those who may be suicidal or who know people who are.
• Include a list of clues to suicidal behaviour, for example, the warning signs of suicide and what to do.
When someone talks about attempting suicide or brings up concern for a loved one, it is important to take action and seek help quickly.
What are the warning signs?
Major warning signs of suicide spell IS PATH WARM:
I—Ideation: thinking about suicide
S—Substance use: problems with drugs or alcohol
P—Purposelessness:
feeling like there is no purpose in life or reason for living
A—Anxiousness: feeling intensely anxious or feeling overwhelmed and unable to cope
T—Trapped: feeling trapped or feeling like there is no way out of a situation
H—Hopelessness or Helplessness: feeling no hope for the future, feeling like things will never get better
W—Withdrawal: avoiding family, friends, or activities
A—Anger: feeling unreasonable anger
R—Recklessness: engaging in risky or harmful activities normally avoided
M—Mood change: a significant change in mood
What to do?Discuss the thoughts
and feelings related to suicide openly, frankly, non-judgmentally and in private.
Show honest concern and support the person to get to medical/professional help. Stay connected. Reach out for assistance as being the person in support.
Be consistent – don’t make promises that cannot be kept or are not intended to be kept
Call the local Crisis/ Distress Line (1-888-494-3888) http://www.vicrisis.ca.
When someone talks
about attempting suicide or brings up concern for another, it is important to take action and seek help quickly.
Speak with your doctor (GP), medical health professional or a therapist/counsellor will be helpful.

Valley News does not generally report on suicides, except in certain cases. These cases are then taken into consideration with sensitivity, not sensationalism.
Suicidal signs cannot be ignored
From / A17Because this finish
does not form a
plastic film on the surface, it is easy to repair and renew over
the life of the piece.For a casual rustic
finish that highlights
the natural colours in wood, we use Hemp Oil.
Liberally apply this natural product to the surface and allow it to soak in.
As the wood takes on a dry appearance over time, simply reapply the oil to make it look like new.
For cutting boards, bowls and other food
safe items, mineral oil is a the best choice.
It is an inexpensive, food safe finish that you can pick up at your local drug store.

New ef� cient wood-burning stoves are a great low-cost way to warm your home during winter. Be safe and have the chimney inspected by a certi� ed sweep and don't forget to install smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in the area. Stay warm by burning hardwoods to deliver more heat and don't forget to remove the ash from the stove frequently. It will create better air� ow, making for a better � re.
