Alberni Valley News Thursday, July 23, 2015 www.albernivalleynews.com A3

First of a series

SUSAN QUINNALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

The lifeblood of adult literacy in the Alberni Valley is found in a cheerily

painted warren of rooms in the former Klitsa School, centred in a neighbourhood on Tebo Avenue that is evolving with growth.

The front desk, where executive assistant Alana Bodnar sits, is painted with a bright mural of buildings that speaks of home to a visitor. Further into the building are a lunchroom where monthly coffee celebrations are held, three classrooms, a computer lab and a tutoring lab.

Executive director Charmead Schella’s office is open and welcoming, fronted with floor to ceiling glass walls and doors on one side, and bookshelves loaded with books for the community on all others.

It is in this building where people who are passionate about literacy try to find solutions. It is a monumental task at times: the illiteracy rate in Port Alberni is 41 per cent, demand has never been greater and both federal

and provincial funding has been declining steadily.

“It is precarious. It is day to day at times,” says Schella.

Schella spends a large amount of time seeking grants, writing grant proposals and forging partnerships within the government and corporate communities in the Alberni Valley, all just to keep the centre going.

“We literally live hand to mouth because there is so little funding,” she says.

Literacy Alberni has an annual operating budget of $250,000, of which $9,500 last year came through the BC-based Decoda Literacy Solutions, and $77,000 through the Raise a Reader campaign.

The list of partnerships and funding sources that also contribute to the annual operating budget is difficult to track. Literacy Alberni is both the literacy organization and the newcomers’ centre for people who have immigrated to Canada via Port Alberni, so it has in the past received funding through Citizenship and Immigration Canada.

“We also rely heavily as well

on donations and small funding pots, local and municipal ones as well as partnerships in the community,” says Schella.

For example, the Nuu-chah-nulth Employment and Training Program, which allows Literacy Alberni to offer community outreach programs to the Ditidaht First Nation.

“School District 70 is one of our biggest allies,” says Schella, including members who sit on the volunteer board. Literacy Alberni funds the “Welcome to Kindergarten” book bag program for new students and in return gets in-kind time from a teacher from VAST alternative program.

They partner with North Island College for adult basic education, they offer a nutritional literacy program, facilitate Parents As Literacy Supporters (PALS), and more.

“I spend a lot of my time looking for and applying for grants. I spend a lot of time reporting on what we’ve done with the funds we’ve received,” she says. “I’m not going to lie, sometimes it’s absolutely exhausting. The need is so great for literacy in this community that you just carry on.

“For us, it’s not the reading, writing and numeracy. Literacy is the foundational block of a healthy community. We look for funding support through that lens.”

Literacy organizations around the province are primarily volunteer-driven, including many of the tutors. Literacy Alberni has two full-time and two part-time employees, some of whom work for the fee-for-service Klitsa Tutoring.

Because they rely so heavily on grants, Schella has become quite creative with the cross-connections and partnerships to ease some of the burden. “We definitely try to think outside the box to be eligible for grants that we might not be if we regarded ourselves within the traditional literacy box.”

(A good example of that was applying for Alberni Valley Community Forest funding for a little libraries project that will ultimately see 25 portable libraries placed around the community for people to access books.)

The overarching fear is losing core funding.

Summer class starts at PCUKATYA SLEPIAN

ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

While school might be out for the summer, students at the Pacific Coast University of Workplace Health and Sciences started their summer session with an intensive three-day course on the changing nature of work.

“We’re going to be exploring the whole nature of change in the workplace and what that means for individuals as well as for employers and how has globalization changed the way we actually work,” said PCU-WHS vice president Lynn Shaw, who is teaching the course.

“That’s one big issue that pushes

us into working with people in a whole new way. We have to collaborate with people across countries and across times.”

The course is the first to be taught on-site at the Port

Alberni campus since the university launched last fall.

“This topic is really relevant to Port Alberni,” said Mayor Mike Ruttan.

“We’re trying to change the nature of work. Change the

story that comes out of Port Alberni.”

It’s attracted students from both far away and here in the Alberni Valley.

“I think that the lessons and the information that will be shared today will be really applicable to the community,” said Corinne Moore. She works at the Nuu-chah-nuulth Tribal Council’s employment and training program and believes that the course will provide her with knowledge that she can use on the job.

Flabbergasted, amazed, humbled—Colin Simister struggles to find words to describe how he feels about the upwelling of support he’s received from the Port Alberni community since announcing his plans for a Pride barbecue happening this Sunday, July 26 at Williamson Park.

“It’s ballooned, it’s huge, it’s awesome, it’s amazing,” said Simister.

“The beginning was a spark and now it’s caught flame,” he said.

The upwelling of support from the community has taken Simister completely by surprise.

It’s certainly not what he expected when he first threw up a post about the barbecue on Facebook

in December.“I’m in shock of how

much support has come,” he said.

“I wasn’t expecting it to go as big as it was or as many people wanting to come as are going to be there. I was floored. Even talking about it makes me want to tear up.”

He hopes that

the publicity and attention that his barbecue has garnered will encourage more people to be supportive.

“They’ve come to realize that ‘wow, it is really here, they’re not going to be quiet anymore,’” he said.

“We’re here, we’re

going to be loud, we’re going to be proud.”

The level of support for the Pride BBQ is something that Simister couldn’t imagine happening even a decade ago.

“The phrase ‘it gets better’ is very true. It’s gotten a lot better,” he said.

“Port Alberni

has grown, they’ve matured. They’ve come to realize—like every other community across Canada—it’s not a choice. We are born this way and it’s time to realize that.”

It’s an enormous change from when Simister first realized he was gay as a kid.

“When I first realized I was homosexual I was seven years old and since then I’ve notice a huge change,” Simister said.

“I’ve noticed that people are more open and want to share their love.”

Past Pride events in Port Alberni have helped shift the tide, he said.

In the seven months since Simister announced the BBQ he has noticed it.

“I can walk through town now with friends and lovers and hold hands and people are accustomed and just walking by or there are cheers. Either way, it’s good,” he said.

“It’s a vast improvement to the nasty looks and remarks.”

And that, Simister said, is something worth celebrating.

The Pride BBQ will take place from noon -

4 p.m. on Sunday, July 26 at Williamson Park.

“There’s free food, there’s a pig roast from Smokin’ Mad Mike’s, there’s coleslaw, there’s cupcakes, there’s drinks, there’s music from Mark Scheffers, there’s games, there’s prizes, there’s other foods, there’s political stuff... it’s going to be huge,” he said.

After the barbecue ends, the fun will begin at a new location.

Char’s Landing has designed a Pride rainbow drink and will be serving it from 4 p.m. on (no minors).

Pride shirts are also available; $15 for youth, $20 for adult and $25 for plus sizes. For more information, send Simister a message on Facebook or call him at [email protected]

Pride comes to Alberni on July 26

V ICTORIA – Have you noticed the latest degradation

of standards on TV news? In addition to sensational depictions of crime, accidents and celebrities, the lineup now incorporates any nonsense that is momentarily “viral” on the Internet.

So it was with an online petition singling out Swiss food corporation Nestlé, which operates a water bottling plant near Hope. It’s the largest in B.C., one of many that bottle the province’s water and sell it back to a gullible public.

This petition is courtesy of SumOfUs, one of those self-appointed environmental watchdogs that seem to pop up like mushrooms overnight. “Fighting for people over profits,” they claim, pitching for donations.

The story has what U.S. comedian Stephen Colbert

calls “truthiness.” That’s when something is false, but it “feels” true.

“Nestlé is about to suck B.C. dry – for $2.25 per million litres to be exact,” says the SumOfUs headline.

Using her keen sense of what’s superficially popular, Premier Christy Clark instantly called for a review of these low rates for selling the people’s water.

It then fell to Environment Minister Mary Polak to explain what’s really going on.

“People keep saying there’s a deal with Nestlé,” Polak told reporters. “There isn’t. They pay the same as any other industrial user, in fact the highest industrial rate, and it goes for anything from hydraulic fracturing to bottled water, those involved in mining for example, any of those heavy industrial uses.”

And why is that rate so low? It’s because the province takes great pains not to “sell” water, which would make it a commodity under trade agreements, like oil or

minerals. That would surrender provincial control, and allow the U.S. to press for equal access to Canadian water.

“You’re buying the right to use the water,” Polak said. “I know it sounds crazy to the public, but we call it a rental – a water rental. There’s a reason we use that language, because we are very careful to avoid any suggestion that by paying this amount, you therefore own that water.

“That reserves for us the right at any time, for a compelling public need, to say stop. It doesn’t matter if you have a licence.”

As for the brazenly false claim that Nestlé is sucking B.C. dry, I’m indebted to a real environmental professional named Blair King for explaining this. (His blog, achemistinlangley.blogspot.ca, offers useful technical explanations of issues in the news, many of which contradict so-called environmentalists.)

King notes that the bottling plant uses less

than one per cent of the flow through Kawkawa Lake:

“If Nestlé stopped operating (and put its 75 employees out of work and stopped paying municipal taxes) would there be more water for the rest of us?” he writes.

“Absolutely not. Kawkawa Lake drains its excess water into the Fraser River, which drains into the Strait of Georgia. Neither the Fraser River at Hope nor the Strait of Georgia is particularly short of water.”

Clark made one useful contribution, when asked about this urgent non-issue by those seeking to further sensationalize the current drought and forest fires. She correctly noted that most B.C. residents have access to the best tap water in the world, and have no need for bottled water.

Here’s a tip, Nestlé critics: Fill a jug with water and stick it in the fridge. Fight the corporations.

EDITORIAL

Do you know about election?

In case you’ve missed all the attack ads on television, the partisan party-coloured announcements about the Universal Child Care Benefit earlier this week or the love-in / hate-in (depending on which colours you wear) of the various political parties, Canada is gearing up for a federal election in October.

Are you registered to vote? Do you know what to do to find out whether you’re registered or not?

People are getting their information differently these days, whether it be from the Internet, Facebook, Twitter or other forms of social media, and more traditional forms like

newspapers, radio and television.In the last federal election, in 2011,

65,638 people voted in the Nanaimo-Alberni riding, about 4,000 more than those that voted in the 2008 election. The numbers were quite low for the riding.

This year some of the ridings on Vancouver Island have been re-organized and Alberni Valley voters will be voting in the new riding of Courtenay-Alberni.

That means a host of new candidates’ names to learn, and new ideology too, as both candidates and voters will be coming from a different region.

It’s even more important to educate yourself before this year’s election, which ever form you choose for dissemination.

The first step, though, is to make sure you’re registered.

You can go online to www.elections.ca and click on the voter registration link to check, and to register if you’re not.

Every vote will make a difference.— Alberni Valley News

Community is about the experience of belonging. To belong is to be in relationship where we are part of something.

The opposite of belonging is isolation. To feel isolated is to always be on the margins. To be always on the margin means that there are walls that divide.

A restorative community as St. Francis of Assisi and Stephen Covey say “seeks fi rst to understand.” Restorative communities seek to understand in order to create structures of belongingness and in doing so the walls that divide are broken down.

However, as we write this we have been informed we are heading off on another deployment.

Based on the quick turnaround, we, the Thunderbird Unit Crew, really want to make sure the community knows how much we appreciate what was done for us.

When we were working 16-hour days, finding time to make dinner and prep food for the next day was virtually

impossible. We can honestly say

that the support we were feeling from the community of Port Alberni was nothing like we have ever

experienced before. We are not going

to attempt to list everyone who helped, as the list is too long, but the breakfasts, lunches, dinners,

waters, Gatorades and kind words really did fuel us through the week.

There is clearly something special about this town

and it was really powerful to be on the receiving end of all the generosity.

Alberni Valley News Thursday, July 23, 2015 www.albernivalleynews.com A9

In today’s paper you’ll see the first installment of the literacy stories I have been working on as part of my 2014 Peter Gzowski Life Literacy Fellowship. Researching my stories has been a long and sometimes puzzling journey for

me—long because I’ve had a busy year outside of the fellowship, and puzzling because of the many things I have learned about adult literacy levels in the Alberni Valley and in British Columbia.

The more questions I asked, the more I learned. And the more I learned, the more questions I had. Admittedly, I lost focus a few times and had to refer back to my original application to keep me on

track with what I wanted to do. I feel privileged to have shared in people’s literacy stories.

The most important lesson I learned is that literacy is vital to every facet of life, yet it is poorly funded across the board.

Literacy should be a no-brainer for governments of all levels. Statistics compiled by Decoda Literacy Solutions in BC show that people with higher

literacy skills earn more, work more, make better health choices and are more involved in their communities.

A widely held theory about adult education is that it should be based on the needs of the job market. However, in an article last year in the Ottawa Citizen, journalist Matthew Pearson noted the federal government seems to be shifting its focus to job-ready

employees rather than those who need a boost in their skills to make them employable.

This is problematic for the programs, largely not-for-profits, that focus on the latter. Core funding is disappearing for many grassroots literacy organizations and that is forcing those that don’t fold outright to spend more time searching for funding that they could be spending on adult literacy.

I am in awe at the creativity of the people who stretch their budgets to bring literacy programs to those who most need it. In the next few of weeks I will share some of that brilliance with you, as well as two success stories with people who have dealt with their literacy challenges head on. I’m interested in talking with anyone who is inspired by what they read.

Are the City of Port Alberni’s water restrictions strict enough for the drought?

Are you satisfied that Port Alberni City Council tabled a motion to terminate the port authority’s contract over the plywood sites?

Yes – 59.5% No – 40.5%

From / A9If anyone else

has a story to share, I’m willing to listen. My e-mail address is [email protected] and my phone number is 250-723-6399.

As I conclude my own fellowship journey, I can assure you that this is really only the beginning for me when it comes to covering literacy issues in the Alberni Valley. This is a

story that, for the foreseeable future, has no conclusion.

The 2015 winner of the Gzowski Life Literacy Fellowship will be announced later this summer, and I am excited to see what his or her perspective on adult literacy will be.

Susie Quinn is the Alberni Valley News editor and 2014 winner of the Peter Gzowski Life Literacy Fellowship.

Literacy is ongoing

Partnerships drive literacy programs across provinceFrom / A3

This kind of funding helps literacy centres get from one grant to the next without too many speed bumps. Victoria’s literacy centre fell into that trap in the summer of 2014 and was forced to close its doors after 26 years in the province’s

capital. “They didn’t have enough bridge funding,” Schella said.

The Victoria centre has since re-opened, thanks to renewed funding.

Schella’s story is not unique. Joan Exley, literacy outreach coordinator for the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy

in Nelson, BC has created successful literacy programs like Learning Place through community partnerships.

“Literacy work in communities is built on collaboration across the province,” Exley said during a Literacy is Life keynote address.

“Partners coming together to create opportunities…when we all work together, there are bridges in communities for people to walk across.”

Provincial funding comes through Decoda Literacy Solutions, which in 2015 received

approximately $2 million to distribute among 400 communities in British Columbia. Last year Literacy Alberni received $9,500 in provincial funding.

(Decoda also fundraises for its programs; in 2014 it launched the Literacy is Life program.)

Decoda CEO Brenda Le Clair gives credit to grassroots community organizations like Literacy Alberni for keeping literacy at the forefront. “It’s the boots on the ground that actually do the work,” Le Clair said last year following the Literacy is Life launch.

“These to me are

the real heroes of literacy.”

Next week: Meet two Alberni Valley learners who have found a successful literacy strategy despite the challenges Port Alberni as a community faces with its literacy numbers.

Symphonyin White

The Centennial Belles are set to present another fabulous historical fashion show titled, Symphony in White. This exquisite fashion show will take place on the terrace at the Rollin Art Centre, Sunday, Aug. 9 from 2-4 p.m. with music by Sandy Bouleau. Proceeds from this fashion show will help benefit the Rollin Art Centre’s many programs.

“The Belles are presenting this show to the public strictly as a fundraiser for the RAC and their summer children’s arts program,” said Tricia Knight.

“The Belles wish to foster and encourage art in the community and feel that our children deserve to be exposed to as many forms of art as possible.”

Tickets are $20 and include refreshments. Tickets are on sale now at the Rollin Art Centre.

Tea on the Terrace

The Rollin Art Centre is very lucky to have a great musical lineup this year to

help our summer Teas on the Terrace fundraiser. Yes, you heard right, when you purchase your tickets you are also helping to raise funds for the Rollin Art Centre. This is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon, while helping to raise much needed funds for the Rollin

Art Centre; listening to music, catching up with friends and experiencing the Rollin Art Centre’s “high tea” under the canopy of trees. This year’s delicious treats are created by Harvest Thyme Fine Foods. Tickets are on sale at the Rollin Art Centre, so don’t miss out, as

seating is limited, and sell-outs are already happening. Tickets are $12 seniors/students, $15 adults and $10 for children under 12.

Teas begin at 1 p.m. and run until 3 p.m.

DAVID WIWCHARSPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Autumn Dawn Desjarlais, 18, appeared in a Port Alberni courtroom Thursday (July 16, 2015), charged with the murder of 19-year-old Carlene Jack early Wednesday morning.

Desjarlais waved to the dozen family members in the courtroom, but otherwise remained expressionless in the prisoner`s box.

Justice Peter Voith was brought over from Supreme Court to hear the criminal matter.

Desjarlais was remanded into custody and was

sent to the Alouette Correctional Center for Women in Maple Ridge.

Crown prosecutor Todd Patola named eight witnesses that will be called if the case goes to a full trial. He also asked the witnesses names be protected by a publication ban until trial.

Outside the courtroom, many of the family members cried. They declined requests to speak to reporters gathered there.

Desjarlais was to appear in court again via video link this week, after the Albenri Valley News went to press.
