◆ COVER STORY


Working at a radio station means Carla Johnson is usually behind the scenes

at the Cops for Cancer Tour De Rock, but this year she’s decided to take a more hands-on approach.

The tour kicks off Saturday, Sept. 20 in Port Alice. The 24-member team, comprised of RCMP, municipal and military police and media riders, will be in Port Alberni on Friday, Sept. 26 before completing their 1,000-kilometre journey down Vancouver Island in Victoria on Friday, Oct. 3.

Luckily for Johnson, assistant program director for Island Radio in Nanaimo and Port Alberni, this isn’t her first time on a bike.

“I had cycled a bit; compared to the totally average person I probably cycled a bit more,” she said, though comparing her previous cycling to what she’s doing now, it feels like she barely cycled at all before.

However, compared to some of this year’s participants she’s experienced.

“One of the officers from the Saanich police department hadn’t been on a bike since she was five years old so she learned how to ride a bike to do Tour De Rock. It blows my mind that she’s that committed.”

While most riders know how to ride a bicycle before they start training for the 1,000-km ride, that level of commitment is par for the course during an event that is so personal to so many of the participants.

In January of this year, two of Johnson’s family members were battling cancer.

“It felt quite personal for me, to feel like I was doing something to fight it.”

It’s involved more hours in Spandex and on a less than comfortable bike seat that

Johnson ever imagined possible.“Training has been great. It has

been very, very challenging, it has been very time consuming but it has been really rewarding

as well.”The training began

with two days of riding a week in March and ramped up to three days in April, which are split between hill training, speed drills and long rides.

While the training has been challenging, Johnson has loved seeing the progress she’s made.

“There are hills and distances that in March were a real challenge and now we’re going three times that far and now we’re riding up hills that are unbelievable to me,” she said, adding that those are hills that

she “wouldn’t be that keen on walking up because they’re so steep and now we’re riding our bikes up them.”

Along with the hills getting steeper, the rides have also gotten longer. The riders started with a 30 km long ride and have worked their way up to 100 kms.

“Now [30kms] is more like what we would ride on a Tuesday or Thursday, on those shorter nights.”

Their longest ride took place on Aug. 24. The team cycled all the way across the southern end of the Island and back, from the Saanich police department to Jordan River and back, a distance of more than 150 kms. It’s longer than the longest day of the Tour de Rock and done as an attempt to mentally prepare the riders for what’s ahead. In that same vein, the riders conquered the road up to Mount Washington Alpine Resort in July, a harder hill than

anything during the tour.Hopefully, that means that the

Hump into Port Alberni won’t tire Johnson out too much when she and the rest of the Tour de Rock riders will ride into town on Friday, Sept. 26, just in time for the Boston Pizza Family Fair Dinner from 6-8 p.m.

It’s not only the physical aspect that’s been challenging in the past several months.

“Physically it has been challenging but that’s all very structured and I have total faith in our trainers to get us to where we need to go,” Johnson said. “I think the challenging thing has been fundraising because I’m not used to or comfortable with asking people for money.”

It’s been made easier, however, by the incredible generosity of everyone who Johnson has seen throughout the course of her fundraising efforts.

The Mobile Medical Unit (MMU) rolled into Port Alberni last week. The MMU, which is a provincial resource through the Ministry of Health that is shared equally by all communities across B.C., conducted a training session with West Coast General Hospital staff and emergency services on Friday, Sept. 12.

Generally, the MMU does outreach and emergency services when and where it’s needed. The unit’s outreach services are more often used in rural communities where specialists are not available for conditions such as hemophilia and cystic fibrosis.

“A lot of the time, those patients live all over the province but for their annual check-ups they need

to go to somewhere like St. Paul’s in Vancouver and take time off of work,” said MMU Manager of Operations and Planning Jessie Veenstra, adding that it’s much easier for the patients to do that at a mobile clinic that can come to their communities.

The emergency capacity of the unit comes into play if a situation occurs where the city’s own

staff cannot handle a surge in patients due to either a planned event that brings more people into the region or a natural disaster.

“It’s a very flexible space, we can provide anything from first aid to critical care and in some cases emergency and surgical as well,” said [email protected]

Water restrictions in Port Alberni are set to continue for the time being.

“[With] our continued hot weather we want to maintain the water restrictions,” city engineer Guy Cicon told city council on

Monday, Sept. 8.According to Cicon,

the water restrictions have proved successful with the city dropping its daily water consumption

from an average of 17,000 cubic metres in July down to 15,000 cubic metres in August.

“Our lake reservoirs are holding quite steady [though] certainly they are depleting gradually,” said Cicon.

The city is currently in stage 1 of outdoor watering restrictions, where odd numbered addresses can use outdoor water sourceson Saturday, Monday and Thursday, while even numbers can use them on Sunday, Tuesday and Friday, both from 6 a.m. - 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. - 10 p.m. Residents are also asked to minimizenon-essential outdoor water use while restrictions are in [email protected]

International students to stay despite teacher strike


The teacher strike won’t affect international students coming to study in Port Alberni, said SD70 Superintendent Greg Smyth.

The school district is taking on approximately 30 international students this year, with 21 already in the city and the rest scheduled to arrive later this fall. Tuition fees are $14,000 per international student, which means that the district is making around $420,000 this year from international students alone. Smyth said none of them have expressed any concerns over the teacher strike.

“Part of it is

because our students are showing up in September as opposed to the beginning of September,” he said.

Some international students stayed with their host families throughout the summer and thus were taken care of throughout the duration of the strike. A group of students that arrived on Sunday, Sept. 14 have been kept busy with an orientation week, said Smyth, adding that he hopes that the strike will be over by next week and students back in schools.

Daytime orientation activities are being provided by school administrators who are not affected by the BCTF strike and English tutoring is

being provided after school hours. The tutoring is part of a prior arrangement between the students’ recruiting agent and their families.

According to Smyth, the cost of both the orientation activities and the English tutoring are being covered by the recruiting [email protected]

◆ Teachers will vote whether to accept a new tentative agreement on Thursday

◆ If they accept it, schools could be back in session by Monday. Sept. 22 or Tuesday, Sept. 23.

Essay on literacy struggle nets award for Bodnar


Port Alberni Mayor John Douglas, second from left, joins Leo Willis, left, Chuck August and Melissa Johnson in a nutritional literacy class at Literacy Alberni last week.

SUSAN QUINNALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

Alana Bodnar of Port Alberni has placed second in a provincial essay writing contest put on by Decoda Literacy Solutions.

Bodnar and four other finalists attended a gala at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre last Wednesday, where Decoda announced the winner.

The award is quite an achievement for Bodnar, who details her emotions as she struggled with a learning disability all through school.

“I received my Grade 12 Dogwood certificate and I could not even read what it said,” she relates in her essay.

“I entered the contest because I like to write and I wanted

to share my story,” Bodnar said.

Bodnar is an executive assistant at Literacy Alberni; she started as a board member before applying for the job. She has a unique perspective on literacy learning that clients appreciate.

The gala was also Decoda’s opportunity to kick off its Literacy is Life campaign. Literacy Alberni executive director Charmead Schella and learner Steven Mulvey are featured in Literacy is Life television commercials.

Class educates mayor on cookingKATYA SLEPIAN

ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

Every Thursday afternoon a delicious aroma wafts from the Literacy Alberni kitchens as 10-12 eager cooks learn how to make simple and budget-friendly yet nutritious meals.

And this time they have a special guest “chef” whose rice pilaf is cooking in the oven.

“The cooking of it went very well,” said Mayor John Douglas, before adding a caveat: “well it’s still in the oven, so we’ll see.”

The class is taught

by Marjorie Jarrett, a Port Alberni resident who considers teaching this weekly two-hour long class to be a “zen vocation.”

“It’s so much fun,” she said of the program, which attracts both

newcomers and repeats of varying skill levels.

“I think people can always learn and [this program] opens windows for people,” said Douglas, “and cooking is a really great skill to acquire.

“I like cooking but I’m really interested in healthy cooking, cooking from scratch instead of buying a microwave dinner or opening up a can.”

The class focuses on teaching participants to make a main meal with an emphasis on vegetables. Since novice cooks may not have or want to invest

in much kitchen equipment, Jarrett focuses on meals that can be cooked up in a skillet.

“Quite a few people don’t have a lot of cooking equipment, they don’t have a stove with an oven, they don’t have pots and pans so we try to do minimal stuff. A cutting board, a knife and a skillet and there you go.”

Nutritional Literacy meets every Thursday from 12:30 - 2:30 p.m. in the Literacy Alberni kitchens at 5100 Tebo Ave. The class is a [email protected]

Edwin Knight, owner of Alberni Family Medication and a Rotarian, is in Jamaica this week helping to plant breadfruit trees to feed elementary school students.

Knight will be sending back photos and a story on his progress.

From / A3“I was at an event

on Canada Day and I just had bottled water by donation and there was a guy who gave us $100 which is so amazing and I never thought that I would see that.”

But both the most rewarding and challenging part of training for Tour de Rock has been interacting with the junior riders.

Junior riders are an integral part of the tour and serve as a visible reminder of what the ride across the Island is meant to achieve: to raise money for pediatric cancer research.

For Johnson one of the most impactful moments was getting to visit Camp Goodtimes, a summer camp for children and teens diagnosed with cancer.

The camp is designed to help them forget about the sometimes grim diagnoses they face and just be kids again.

“When we’re actually meeting with and learning about and spending time with kids who have been affected by cancer it’s pretty hard to hear,” she said. But seeing the children playing and having fun together really drives home

the positive impact of Camp Goodtimes on children who don’t get to feel like every other kid very often.

“One of the really important things for the kids there is that everyone there has been through something very similar so they don’t feel weird, and if they have scars and things like that, there’s nobody to judge them because for all of the other kids there it’s no big deal [and] they completely understand.”

Two of the children who Johnson has met are her junior riders, Griffyn Dmytar, 3, and Lucas Wetklo, 6.

It’s been a long, difficult fight with cancer for both children. Griffyn was first diagnosed when he was just five days old and has battled the disease twice now and come out on top each time.

“The really wonderful thing now is that he is healthy now,” said Johnson, adding that looking at him now, you would never guess that he spent the majority of the first year of his life fighting cancer.

“He loves superheroes and he’s a fun and super special kid.”

Her other junior rider, Lucas Wetklo, has also battled cancer twice, the last time only a few

months ago.“He was at B.C.

Children’s Hospital for quite a long

time,” Johnson said. Typically, most children are treated where they live and only in the most serious cases are taken to B.C. Children’s Hospital full-time as Lucas was.

But despite the hardships that he’s just recently endured, Lucas’ good spirits and love of superheroes are still winning out.

“The more obscure the superhero the better for him, which is pretty cute,” said Johnston, adding that she thought she “was doing okay when I could name the ones that have had movies but he called me on that pretty quick.”

Since Tour de Rock started, prognoses for children like Dmytar and Wetklo have improved greatly, Johnson said.

“Childhood cancer survival rates used to be much lower and now, four in five kids who have cancer come out of it okay,” said Johnson.

“But of course, when that one in five is your child it’s not nearly good enough and I think that’s one of the most powerfully motivating things for us.”[email protected]

V ICTORIA – Whatever cease-fire emerges from

the latest round in the war for control of B.C.’s public school system, the next court battle is ready to proceed.

Lawyers for the provincial government and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation have filed their written submissions to the B.C. Court of Appeal. At issue is whether legislation removing union contract terms that dictated class size and teacher staff levels was a violation of members’ constitutional rights to freedom of association.

When B.C. Supreme Court justice Susan Griffin found that it was, the government changed legislation again. The same judge ordered that struck down and the 2002 contract language reinstated retroactively for every contract since then,

imposed or negotiated.The government says

that would create chaos as well as billions in expenses, pushing out full-day kindergarten and other allocations of space and money that have proceeded since union control was removed.

Griffin’s order is stayed pending this appeal. If you think the latest strike has been disruptive, you don’t want to see what this judge’s vision would look like.

Government lawyers argue that the BCTF’s constitutional right claim is “wrong in law” and amounts to a veto that blocks the province’s ability to legislate in response to changing conditions.

“According to the BCTF, legislation may improve on collective agreement entitlements but cannot remove them over the objections of the union without violating [the Charter of Rights

and Freedoms],” the government’s submission says. “On the BCTF’s theory, collective agreement entitlements become constitutionally protected in perpetuity.”

What that would mean to voters is when they throw out an NDP government that handed the keys to the treasury to public

sector unions, the unions can veto that too. And when mandated minimum teacher-librarians sitting in rooms full of paper books

become the equivalent of buggy whip weavers, they must remain as long as the union wants.

BCTF’s lawyers submit that the government is wrong in fact as well as law. Its arguments are technical, dwelling particularly on the fact that the government didn’t appeal Griffin’s first ruling.

For instance, there have actually been two negotiated deals since

2002. The one in 2006 provided five years of raises and a bonus to get the government past the 2010 Olympics, and in 2012 there was a pre-election truce negotiated with the help of mediator Charles Jago.

The government argues that re-imposing 2002 conditions would overturn other contracts that were agreed to by the BCTF. BCTF’s lawyers say, in effect, the deleted terms covering working conditions weren’t there to negotiate.

The Coalition of B.C. Businesses has entered the case as an intervener, arguing for the supremacy of elected governments when providing public services.

Its submission notes that unlike private disputes, the right to strike is often curtailed in the public sector, and sometimes eliminated as in the case of police and health care.

“When critical aspects of public policy are jeopardized by employee demands, those aspects could be legislated.

EDITORIAL

Civic elections need diversity

Civic candidates are already coming forward for our consideration.

In some ways, the race is already on, leading up to the municipal election Nov. 15.

On that date, city residents will be entrusted to elect a mayor, city councillors, regional district representatives and school trustees who will represent us for the next

four years.Some people

have indicated their intentions; many have yet to go public.

Candidates can’t formally declare until the end of the month, Sept. 30 at 9 a.m. and they have another 10 days after that (Oct. 10)

before the deadline to hand in nomination packages.

We hope, most of all, that there will be strong candidates, but we hope also that there will be a variety of candidates.

Beyond gender, there can be a place at the council table for candidates of any age, ethnic background, sexual orientation, social standing or political leaning.

Rather than categorize and divide us, these diversities can create a broader perspective.

Compromise and co-operation are a part of democracy.

Of course we realize that counting councillors by gender – or any classification – is an oversimplification.

Candidates will be judged on their merit, their character, their priorities and promises, their strength and smarts, their motivation, their intentions.

We hope that this fall, voters will have the chance to elect just the sort of representatives we’re looking for, both men and women.

God’s most amazing if not audacious act of love is creation. A creation that evolves and a God that evolves with it. Sometimes I joke and say, “If God had only listened to the Goddess when he created, then we would not be in such a mess!” However, really, the risk of an evolutionary creation, is that what evolves can be beautiful, incredible and amazing, or evolution, so too with human beings, can create something not so beautiful. That’s the risk. We, human beings, are gifted with creativity and invited to create something good, something beautiful, by being audaciously alive, full to overfl ow-ing with love, vulnerability, kindness, and care.

Mailbag: Feedback on B.C.’s teacher strike

Here’s a lesson for the day

To the Editor,Christy Clark’s

approach to labour relations visa vie the B.C. teachers has been a lesson in puerility: i.e. an example of how to govern this province foolishly because of a deficiency in managerial skills.

After frittering away the summer, her Liberal government was forced by the weight of public opinion to finally get off its collective butt and negotiate in good faith. Clark’s ham-fisted government must now pay for the administration of their boondoggle known as the Temporary Education Support for Parents.

Shelling out $40 for each school day lost to the parents of qualifying children is another example of Liberal incompetence. This program was nothing more than a political ploy to appease the affected parents, i.e., partisan bureaucratic inefficiency at its worst.

If you are wondering why parents and children have had to endure all this inconvenience, uncertainty and

stress, the answer is contained in the word puerility. If you have the need for a derisive chuckle or two, watch Christy Clark try to spin atop her skewed version of events.

Lloyd Atkins,Vernon

Unions deserve gov’t respect

To the Editor,At 89 years of age, I

have observed many labour disputes. The current one between the teachers and the “Liberal” government appears to be a direct attack on labour unions specifically the BCTF.

Many people feel that unions demand too much but as a person who worked many years ago in both union and non-unionized restaurants, the difference in working conditions was astounding.

Just one example of this was: in the non-unionized restaurant, we were expected to do all clean-up and other duties after the completion of our shift on our own time which resulted in at least one hour of unpaid work per shift. Is this what we want to return to?

People need to be reminded that unions and the labour

movement actions have led to reforms such as the 40-hour work week, minimum wages, paid holidays, an eight-hour day, child labour laws, equity for female workers and many health and safety reforms for all people, not just unionized workers.

In 2002, the BC Liberal government with Christy Clark as education minister stripped class size and composition from the collective agreement. A 12-year court battle won twice by teachers has resulted in the government launching yet another appeal. In order to negate the court’s rulings they have recently introduced to the bargaining table Bill E-80 which would keep class size and composition at current levels.

Bill E-80 and their

refusal to go to binding arbitration clearly shows their unwillingness to solve this deadlock with the teachers in a fair way.

Teachers are fighting for all students in the classroom and for quality public education. Our society will not benefit from an under-funded public education system nor will our economy grow.

Grace Thornton,Qualicum Beach

Classes too big, or unruly?

To the Editor,Re: Factory model

fading for schools (B.C. Views, Sept. 10).

With respect to class size, one thing that is never discussed is the lack of behavioural discipline of the students.

Some years ago I had a job as a teaching assistant in the federal prison system, where I noticed that many prisoners were stuck at the grade five level. That led me to take the social service program at a secondary institution to become a teaching assistant in the public school and help the “slower” students overcome learning difficulties.

While doing my practicum in a school,

I was appalled at the chaos in the classroom. While the teacher was busy at the green board explaining a lesson, several students walked about having conversations with other classmates, while others walked over to the window looking at the playground.

Juxtapose that to my experience in public school where we didn’t dare chat, never mind wandering about. Also, the wife of a former governor of Washington State took a group of teachers to China a few years ago and observed the discipline of the children there. The average class size was about 50 students. All of the students were at their desks focused on the teacher.

If students in a classroom were studying online with only a monitor walking around, the matter of discipline would not be an issue. You could have many students in a classroom, each student progressing at his or her own speed and then have periodic tests as is done through distance education.

From / A10“Where a fiscal

downturn or inflationary pressures required austerity measures, they could be implemented through legislation; where strikes jeopardize important public services, the legislature could pass back-to-work legislation, and so on.”

It’s been obvious for many years that the BCTF doesn’t function like a normal union, and isn’t much interested in starting to do so.

Its leadership sees

itself as an agent of “social justice,” a belief demonstrated by its promotion of flawed poverty statistics and pronouncements on everything from U.S. labour law to conflict in the Middle East.

Its decades-old instruction to government is blunt: raise taxes and give us the money.

Record number of bikes for Toy RunSUSAN QUINN

ALBERNI VALLEY NEWS

The 30th annual Port Alberni Toy Run was one for the record books.

“It was incredible,” Toy Run president David Wiwchar said. “We had 1,600 bikes come, we sold out the dance and had a great poker run at Boston Pizza. And the

prize for winning was $1,600.”

Volunteers collected two cube vans full of toys this year, and “tens of thousands of money in cash for children’s programs throughout the year,” Wiwchar said.

He was impressed with the quality of toys as well: there were many for older children, like bikes

and video games.Wiwchar said

the praise was still coming in this week from out-of-town riders. “They were blown away how friendly people from Port Alberni are...they were so impressed with Port Alberni and the things we do here.”

Honda Fit goes big but in a smaller packageThe subcompact segment in Canada had been a bit stale, until this past year, when we witnessed a number of new entries into this segment. In 2013, Nissan introduced the Versa Note hatchback and earlier this year Nissan followed up with the Mi-cra, the least expensive car on the market ($9,998). The latest entry is the Honda Fit, the only vehicle in this com-petitive class to come with an amazing array of seating options that make it a wonder-on-wheels. LooksIn an age where most cars get bigger from one generation to the next, Honda has bucked the trend and actually shaved 41mm off the overall length of this new 2015 Fit, but improved interior volume. The way they achieved this is by stretching the wheelbase and shortening the front and rear overhangs. This move also helped in the styling department by producing more of a wedge front surface with a sleeker front windshield. The Fit now looks longer, sleeker, and less top heavy. Priced from $14,495 - $22,595, the Fit, on paper, might not look as attractive as the top selling Hyundai Accent and Kia Rio. But when the buyer factors in the versatility of this vehicle and the fact it has the highest retained value in this class, according to Canadian Black Book, it can offer good value.InsideAs attractive as the new exterior is, the interior has always been the real story. There is no other car in the subcompact, or even the compact class, that has the same functionality and flexibility. This

new 2015 has 79mm of additional rear seat room, the largest cargo area, class leading passenger volume and more front shoulder room than its competitors. That’s all good stuff but the design of the rear seats and car-go floor make all of that room even more useful. Honda has what they call Magic Seats: an

outrageously simple rear seat design that allows the seat bottom to flip up, making the rear seat floor accessible to store large or tall objects. This would be a great place to transport a dog, almost like a kennel on wheels. Since the fuel tank is placed under the front seats instead of the typical location under the rear cargo floor, this allowed the designers to lower the rear floor offering a much deeper cargo area. Combine this with the ability of the rear seats to fold, plus the front passenger seat to be re-clined to help transport extra long items the Fit has the space race won.DriveHonda has a new line of engines it calls Earth Dreams, a less than subtle mocking of Mazda’s Skyactiv. The essence of this new engine technology is taking variable valve timing and direct injection, plus a lighter design to help in power delivery and fuel consumption. The new 1.5L engine has eleven per cent more power, at 130hp, plus more torque at 114 lb.-ft. but is 27 per cent lighter than the old engine. The power goes to either an all-new 6-speed manual that is available on all trim levels or a new continuously variable transmission that expands the gear, ratio range by fourteen percent. What this means in

terms of drivability is a better jump off the line and improved highway cruising. Because the new transmission reduces weight and friction, the fuel economy has improved by 16 per cent, which is an amazing accomplishment in such a small car. Rated at 7.0L/100km in the city and 5.7L on the highway, using the much tougher 2015 fuel standards, this represents fuel number buyers will actually be able to achieve. In addition, the suspension has been improved for more responsiveness but I found the ride a bit choppy over bumpy roads.VerdictThere is so much to talk about with the Honda Fit from space to design and new engineering; it is easy to overlook the creature comforts that have been added. There is now a height adjustable drivers seats, a standard 5-inch LCD screen with backup camera and Bluetooth all on

the base $14,495 DX trim. Move up one step to the $17,295 LX trim and Honda includes a huge 7-inch touch-sensitive Display Audio system and heated front seats (my favourite). There is also the $19,195 EX trim with alloy wheels, paddle shifter and moon roof, but the big news is the inclusion of the $21,295 EX-L Navi trim. This is the EX trim with leather and navigation, making the fit downright opulent. This isn’t the least expensive car in this class but on the whole it offers so much more than just a price point. This car is all about smart money.

Milton Keynes, England – The security here seemingly rivals that of the most top-secret government institutions.“Without the proper finger you can’t get in,” says Silvia Halfar, grinning while prodding the fingerprint scanner. The door clicks open to the Infiniti-Red Bull Racing factory, where we would observe the hi-tech production techniques behind the success of four-time world F1 champion driver Sebastian Vettel and the four Constructors’ Championship titles earned by the team.The design genius is indis-putably Adrian Newey. With ten Constructors’ Champi-onships under his belt, won with three different teams – Williams F1, McLaren and now Infiniti-Red Bull – he has no rival.

“Adrian draws up to 100 designs (car parts and components) a week and I mean draws, literally,” informs Silvia. His work is scanned and 3D printers generate models for testing.It’s not a one-man show: more than 600 people design, test, build and assemble the hundreds of thousands of parts required for the race cars driven by Vettel and Daniel

Ricciardo. Every season, the 110-strong design team produces a new car that

conforms to the strict F1 regulations. A super computer tests every part virtual-ly, before a new model

hits the former Concorde jet wind tunnel in nearby Bed-ford. Its processing power is a closely guarded secret but it’s greater than 35,000 iPads combined.Different parts are designed

for every racetrack, some-times within 24 hours of a race. “I had to take five bags to a race in Europe . . . some people have found them-selves with a nose in the seat next to them!”The race simulator is out of bounds but we learn new part profiles are fed in and tested virtually by the drivers on any of the F1 circuits programmed into the machine. It was likely the part that was overworked this year as the old V8 engines were replaced with turbo-pow-ered 1.6-litre V6 hybrid powerplants.There are no underground tunnels between the four buildings so when a secret race-winning part is produced what happens? – Silvia laughs: “Well, then we put it on a tea trolley, cover it with a towel and wheel it across the road.”By the time the chuckling had died down, we were all peering through the windows of a huge gym. “The race team has to keep fit,” said Silvia, anticipating our question. There are also trainers and nutritionists

available to the pit side crew. Turns out the garage guys practice pit stops ev-ery day within the factory’s

four walls. “The team holds the world record for a pit stop in 1.923 seconds!”

she added proudly. Every one-hundredth of a second can mean the difference between a win and loss.

United Way kicks off campaignUnited Way Central

“Support of United Way means together we can address the root causes of social issues in each community,” says Signy Madden, executive director of the United Way Central and Northern Vancouver Island.

This year, more than 16,500 people across the region are supported through 48 programs funded by local donors and run by local community partner agencies.

There are 28 programs funded in the Central Island

as well as 12 in the Comox Valley and eight in Campbell River, Madden explained.

For more information or to donate, please call the Nanaimo office at 250-729-7400 or go online to www.uwcnvi.ca.

Discoveries are foundin black and white film

Friends came up from Seattle for a too short, three-day visit. Neil and I decided to go discover and photograph the famous “Hole in the Wall”; we parked across from Coombs Country Candy and set out on the only path available.

Half an hour later we came across a couple from Ontario that were as lost as we were. The instructions that they were given at the hotel were “just follow the path, it will lead you to the Hole in the Wall”. No one at the hotel told them that the path branches off again and again.

They set off on

another path hoping to find it and we just finally gave up

without finding the hole or the wall.

Trial and error points out problem with old Hasselblad cameraFrom / A26Presently I am

shooting with black and white film, Ilford Delta 100ASA; our freezer is full of 35mm and 120 film that I bought in 2001. Once again I am using my Hasselblad with the incredibly sharp 80mm f2.8 lens ( I could live in that viewfinder it is so incredible) and the Nikon F90 with a 28 ~ 200mm f3.8 lens.

I immediately noticed the richness of the film, the degrees of black, white, as well as the degrees of grey that are not available in a digital device.

I did think that one of the Hasselblad backs had a slight light leak on one side, enough to reduce the contrast and make the image useless. Les said to me “why

don’t you load two Hasselblad backs with black and white film, shoot, and then compare the negatives”?

Of course, she was right and upon developing the negatives the difference between the two rolls was immediately noticeable.

Rather than shipping the exposed film to Vancouver or Edmonton for processing I started developing my own black and white film in 120 (2 ¼-inch) or 35 mm. I use Ilfosol 3 for fine grain and good contrast.

So…if you are shooting black and white film and don’t know where to have the film processed, you can come to me: the film will be developed, scanned

in either low res or high res depending on how much money that

you want to spend, and put on a DVD or a USB/flash drive. Ask
