MARTIN WISSMATH ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

Robert Houle lost everything he owned in a fire that burned down his apartment on Mon-trose Street and Second Avenue last month.

When the fire, sparked from an electrical outlet in the apartment next door to Houle, destroyed the rental building on Montrose and Second, the Alberni Clayoquot Regional Dis-trict offered emergency accom-modation to the residents of the 12-unit structure.

Disaster assistance funding covered the costs of accommo-dation, said Russel Dyson, chief administrative officer of the ACRD.

The night of the fire, which took place in the early morning of April 17, Houle said there was no transportation provided. He slept on a couch and the next

day someone offered him a ride to a local hotel where the ACRD had arranged rooms.

After spending three days in the local hotel and two in the Port Alberni shelter, Houle was left on his own. The hotel locked him out of his room, he said. And the shelter pressured him to leave.

It was getting tough because I was out on the street again, Houle told the Times on Monday as he stopped by his old neigh-bourhood to look at the charred wood and scattered wreckage of his former residence. I was gonna sleep under a bridge.

But thankfully before it came to that a friend offered him a place to live in the North Port area. Its really comfortable, he said. Big screen TVs.

Only a slumped and blackened shell remains of the Montrose rental building, with Do

not enter warnings crudely scrawled on boarded up win-dows and doors.

A heavy metal fence surrounds the property to deter curious passersby. A cautionary note attached to Houles old apart-ment entrance appears to indi-cate a hazard.

They found asbestos, Houle said.

Trained as a mechanical radi-ographer, the 58-year-old Port Alberni resident lives on disabil-ity with a bad leg. He couldnt afford insurance to cover his belongings.

We can barely afford food, said Houle. He lost all his furni-ture, his computer and clothes in the old apartment; but it was the lack of small personal care items that were most frustrating in the immediate aftermath of the fire.

Those little things, like nail

clippers, Houle said. Tooth-brushes. Im just starting to get all that stuff.

Its difficult for people who live in comfort to truly understand poverty, Houle noted.

If youre hungry, just go into the fridge, he said. If you need something, just get it out of the cupboard. His new landlord sometimes takes him out to eat, he added.

Dan Holder, emergency pro-gram coordinator for the ACRD, was at the scene that night assisting firefighters.

He organized emergency sup-port services to find accommo-dation for the residents.

Emergency support services is a provincially-funded program to house residents displaced by a fire for up to three days, Holder explained.

$10-a-day push looks to reduce poverty in Alberni

ERIC PLUMMER ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

An initiative aiming to improve the regions alarm-ingly high rate of child poverty is gaining support in Port Alberni.

In late April city council endorsed a province-wide push to overhaul how childcare is available to families, ensuring that full-time daily costs do not exceed $10. The $10-a-day child-care plan would be enabled through increased subsidies from the provincial govern-ment as well as making public buildings including closed ele-mentary schools available for day care programs, said Sharon Gregson, a spokesperson for the Coalition for the Childcare Advocates of B.C.

Theres some cases where we can take advantage of unused space in elementary schools, but we also will need toexpand, she said, adding that municipal buildings need to be made available for child care. We need to start making betteruse of our public facilities and schools are just one of those things.

The $10-a-day childcare plan aims to increase government funding to existing day cares and increase the number of pro-grams available. This is neces-sary to meet the large number of families struggling to make ends meet, while only 18 per cent of B.C. children under 12 have access to day care, stated the coalition. Part-time child-care would be $7 a day, and fam-ilies with an annual income of less than $40,000 pay no fees.

The initiative is predicted to allow 17,189 more women to work across the province, sav-ing families an estimated $685 million. This could improve the lot of struggling families in Port Alberni, which belongs to a region with the fourth high-est rate of child poverty in the province, according to a report released last December from the B.C. Child and Youth Advo-cacy Coalition. In the Alberni-Clayoquot Regional District 32.2 per cent of children live in families subsisting below the poverty line.

CHILD CARE, from Page 1

Elsewhere on Vancouver Island a 20-per-cent child poverty rate was reported from the Comox Valley, while The Nanaimo Regional District had 23.4 per cent. Statistics Canada considers the poverty line to be an annual before-tax income of $23,755 for one parent with a child, a thresh-old that rises to $40,723 for a two-parent, three child household.

Making daycare more access-ible to struggling families is expected to bring long-term benefits for the greater commun-ity, said Marcie DeWitt, coordin-ator of the Alberni Clayoquot Health Network. This includes less crime, welfare dependency and teenage pregnancies. With 104 of every 1,000 births in the region to teen mothers, the Alberni Valley and west coast of the Island has a rate of more than triple the provincial aver-age, according to Island Health.

We need to support our chil-dren and youth, our young fam-ilies in order ensure that we have economic, said DeWitt.

When theres high-quality early childhood experiences,

there are long-term stable rela-tionships built with caregivers, theres opportunity for inviting play and exploration, added Gregson. That sets the young person up to be more success-ful when they enter elementary school.

Growing classrooms concerns teachers following ruling ERIC PLUMMER ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

Local teachers fear classrooms will continue to grow after a court decision in favour of the Ministry of Education last week.

On Thursday the B.C. Court of Appeal ruled on the provinces side of the issue, determining that the ministry did not violate teachers constitutional rights to determine class sizes and what supports are in place to meet students with different learning needs. This overturns a decision from the B.C. Supreme Court made last year that ruled classroom numbers and supports must be returned to previous standards in place over a decade ago.

Last month the Ministry of Education stated that class sizes across the province are at or near historic lows, averaging 19.5 stu-dents in a kindergarten group, 21.5 for Grades 1-3, 25.6 in Grades 4-7 and 23.2 for Grades 8-12.

In the Alberni School District classroom sizes are close to these current averages but the local numbers have risen since the 2007-08 school year, a trend thats placing a strain on educators, according to the Alberni District Teachers Union.

Classrooms for the final four years of public school have decreased by an average of three students to the current average of 18, but Albernis Grade 47 classes have grown by an aver-age of 0.5 students per class, according to data from the Min-istry of Education. Since 2007 Grades 1 to 3 have grown by a

marked 7.5 students in the aver-age class, while kindergarten classrooms have increased an average of two children.

Early intervention is really important to see that children are able to have the skills in reading, numeracy and writing and have a positive start to their school career, said Ken Zydyk, president of the Alberni District Teachers Union. The chance of receiving the one-on-one atten-tion in a smaller class is greater.

These increases are more dra-matic than changes to classroom sizes elsewhere in the province, but the Ministry of Education argues that more supports are available for children with spe-cial needs.

The Alberni school district received approximately $727,000

from the Learning Improvement Fund in 2014/15 to help support complex classroom needs a 54 per cent increase from the year before ($471,000), stated the ministry in an email to the Times. We have increased the LIF allocation to school districts by more than 66 per cent since 201314 to $100 million dollars in 2015-16.

The key issue is [being] able to support our students, particu-larly our students that are more challenged. As the class sizes grow with those students its more difficult to support, Zydyk said. As the numbers increase in the class, the ability of the student to receive the necessary support could be diminished.

EMERGENCY, from Page 1

Holder called the hotel on the Sunday after the fire to ask them for a fourth day, he said.

ESS is looking desperately for volunteers to help provide immediate relief in the event of a disaster or emergency, Holder noted. Anyone interested can find more information on the ACRD website (acrd.bc.ca) or contact Holder at 250-724-1356.

The tragedy of the fire brought about spontaneous reconciliation among neigh-bours, Houle described. He had been feuding with a next-door neighbour for two years. But the flames that took his home also melted cold grudges.

Its forgiveness, Houle said. People coming togetherheart to heart.

Thankful that he survived the fire with no serious injuries, Houle noted how another neigh-bours question helped him put his loss into perspective: He said, Hows your stuff? I said, Gone. [Then] he said, Hows your skin?

Cellular phone towers threaten our health

The proposed monstrous 60-metre Telus cell tower, near Sproat Lake Landing, Lakeshore and Tilly Road, on the Pacific Rim Highway, deserves public awareness of the looming health crisis the residents of this area will be facing.

According to overwhelming scientific/medical research in recent years, 24/7 cell tower microwave radiation has far greater adverse health con-sequences for man, animals, insects and flora than first anticipated.

Lloyds of London, one of the worlds leading insurance com-panies, published an Emerging Risks Team Report about wire-less radiation in 2010 and com-pared the health risks of electro-magnetic radiation as emitted by cell towers to asbestos.

In February of 2015, they dis-continued all insurance cover-age for claims of damages and illness associated with electro-magnetic radiation, as emitted by cell towers smart meters, WiFi etc.

This exclusion applies regard-less of who manufactured, pro-duced, sold, owned or controlled the transmission sources.

Medical Associations in Eur-ope and North America are wit-nessing troubling developments in recent years which are linked directly to the rapid expansion of wireless technologies!

Non-ionizing microwave radia-tion, as emitted by cell towers, WiFi, cell phones, smart meter and tablets, was considered harmless until a few years ago. Today however, a rapidly growing body of peer-reviewed research has shown very troub-

ling health effects from even very low levels of microwave radiation exposure.

Medical science observed adverse effects on cell structures and brain function, leading to increased mortality, heart rythm and blood pressure irregularities, learning and concentration disorders (ADD), brain degenerative diseases, chronic exhaustion, sleepless-ness, tinnitus etc. Physicians around the world are beginning to recognize this to be a loom-ing public health crisis in the making, and warned repeatedly: children, elderly and pregnant women are at greatest risk!

The telecommunications industry continues to hide behind Canadas outdated Safe-ty Code 6, which was repeatedly denounced by an international body of experts, as non-pro-tective. In a recent Quebec Superior Court hearing, Health

Canadas representative admit-ted under oath that Safety Code 6 only considers thermal effects, while biological effects are not considered!

Another misguided military campaign

On May 2nd, against the back-drop of CF-18 fighter jets and a huge Canadian flag, our Prime Minister had these words for Canadian Forces stationed in Kuwait: You stand on guard between the civilization we enjoy, and the savagery that seeks to come to our shores.

The PMs words may have been taken directly from Idiotic Quotes From A Resident Of The Village Of Crawford, Texas. Its author, President George W. Bush, had no exit plan when he sent his country to war in the Iraq Attack of 2003, based on Saddam Husseins non-existent Weapons of Mass Destruction being a world-wide threat to what Dubya liked to call the civilized world.

Likewise, our PM had no exit strategy when he committed Canada in the War Against ISIS, but his fleeting visit to Iraq and Kuwait was well documented by photographers and videog-raphers. Their work, courtesy of Canadian taxpayers, will doubtlessly be showcased into Conservative Party election campaign advertisements; to be repeated ad nauseam during the next few months.

Another revelation on the clan-destine cloak-and-dagger trip to

the Middle East came when the chief of defence staff was asked to comment on Judge Marie Des-champs Military Sexual Miscon-duct Report. His response was the exact opposite to what he gave only a year ago; as General Tom Lawson is slated to leave his position very soon, maybe we can expect someone with such a trained forked tongue to fit nicely into Ottawas political elite.

Yours sincerely,

Bernie SmithParksville, B.C.

Poor get poorer with Tax Free Savings Accounts

The problem with a higher lim-it for Tax-Free Savings Accountsis that income inequality will increase. The affluent benefit immediately while the loss of tax revenues over time will pro-vide an excuse for conservative federal and provincial govern-ments to further slash expendi-tures on health and welfare that affect the most vulnerable.

The Harper Conservatives already plan to delay for two years Old Age Security pay-ments supposedly because the cost is unaffordable. As for young people, how can they pos-sibly be expected to save $10,000 per year when unable to find a job nor pay off enormous stu-dent debts?

TFSAs are part of systematic Conservative policy to take from the poor and give to the rich.

Pre-election ads a waste of taxpayer The ads are springing up faster than pansies on the sunny side of the street on a warm spring day. Its hard to escape Prime Minister Stephen Harpers aggressive pre-election advertising blitz reminding us of all the wonderful things his Con-servatives are doing with our tax dollars.

The government is pushing its Economic Action Plan, tricked out in Tory blue, like theres no tomorrow. Everywhere, cheerful Canadian families and workers well, cheerful actors, anyway are shown to be benefitting from the federal budget and its voter-friendly largesse.

Voters are being invited to con-sider what this means for your family and to apply for their share of the child-care benefits and other goodies. Meanwhile, ads

touting the military tie in with the governments security and anti-terror agenda. The onslaught on TV, radio, billboards and social media is relentless.

Its also shameless. And this self-celebration on the public dime is generating some much-needed pushback. Tom Mulcairs New Democrats and Justin Trudeaus Liberals are complaining that the ads are unfairly partisan and wasteful. So are groups such as Democracy Watch and the Canad-ian Taxpayers Federation.

In the short term the Conserva-tive government is spending $13.5 million through the finance department and tax agency flog-ging its budget, which featured handouts to the wealthy, as the NDPs Nathan Cullen put it. But thats the tip of an iceberg. Tory ad blitzes have cost a whopping

$750 million since Harper came to office in 2006, or nearly $85 million a year.

And, for the record, the Liberals cant claim the high ground when it come to wasteful spending on propaganda. Under Jean Chrtien and Paul Martin, they pumped $950 million into ads between 1998 and 2006, the NDP says, more than $100 million a year.

It doesnt have to be this way.Governments are huge advertis-

ers and politicians shouldnt be in a position to succumb to the temp-tation of abusing public dollars by torquing ads for partisan advan-tage. Its an affront to democracy and a waste of money. Instead, proposed government ads should be vetted by an independent third party before they go public.

The Conservatives famously spent $2.5 million in 2013 promot-

ing the Canada Jobs Grant, a program that didnt even exist at the time. Thats the sort of thing an independent vetting process would be expected to red-card.

Indeed, it has been working in Ontario for more than a decade. Back in 2004 Dalton McGuintys Liberals gave the provinces audit-or general the authority to vet and approve government ads before they are aired, published or dis-tributed, to make sure that they are non-partisan. The ads must not have a primary objective of fostering a positive impression of the governing party or a negative impression of a person or entity critical of the government, the provincial guidelines stipulate.

The recent Conservative blitz has galvanized Democracy Watch to launch a letter-writing cam-paign calling on the federal audit-

or general to look into the matter, and to be given the authority to stop future dishonest, partisan, wasteful ads.

The sheer existence of a review process serves as a powerful brakeon partisanship. Ontarios auditor reviewed 625 advertising items in 145 submissions in 2013-2014, and rejected just one 30-second TV spot out of concern that it would have left viewers with the impres-sion that Ontarios manufacturingsector was booming as a result of government programs and activ-ities in this area.

Thats one tough standard. The federal Conservative government would be hard-pressed to explain how its current ad blitz meets thattest. And thats just the point. It doesnt have to, but it should.

Good deed of the week

Blazing a trailThe Civics Studies 11 class at ADSS are raising funds to continue the Pathway to Success project and are looking for the heip of community members for an upcoming fundraiser. [PHOTO SUBMITTED]

Upcoming fundraisers range from detentions to dinners

Students seek support in detention fundraiserKRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

The Pathway to Success is a project initiated by last years Civics Studies class and is being enjoyed by both students and residents.

The Pathway is a walkway that goes from ADSS to North Island College and provides a safe route to the bus stop.

This year the class would like to add to the treed path with the purchase of an art mural display case to showcase stu-dent works, while beautifying the area for the community. The plan is to situate it right across the exit of the Multiplex for high visibility. An estimated cost is $6,000.

To accomplish this, the class is holding a detention fund-raiser. They are inviting well-known community members to take a personalized tour on June 1.

They will then be placed in detention and be escorted to the Activity Room, where they can call friends, colleagues and family to encourage dona-tions to be released. After $500 is raised, they can be set free. Coffee, tea and baked goods will even be provided for everyone in detention.

To date, the students have received participant confirma-tion from MLA Scott Fraser, School Trustee Pam Craig, City Councillor Denis Sauve and some RCMP members.

The event is open to the com-munity and help can be made in several ways. Donations can be made to the school or City Hall,

you can escort your friends to detention on June 1 or donate when they call or just show up to the school to show your sup-port from 12:30 to 3 p.m.

W hat started out as a brainstorming ses-sion by guests of the Bread of Life, has turned into a monthly dinner fundraiser and social.

Dawn McMillan, executive dir-ector of the Bread of Life, said guests were thinking of ways to raise money for the organiza-tion and came up with a dinner. At a cost of $5.00 per plate, it was accessible to everyone.

On April 28, the first din-ner was a sold-out event and organizers decided to make it a monthly event. That nights

theme was Mexican cuisine and McMillan cooked up Mex-ican pie, a Tex-Mex and garden salad, roast potatoes and apple crisp provided by volunteers.

Four hundred dollars in tick-ets were sold and another $720 was made in cash donations.

The next dinner will be held on May 30, featuring authentic Italian cuisine made by board members Dennis and Denise Dalla-Vicenza. It is expected to be another sell-out.

Tickets are only available in advance at the Bread of Life and Cornerstones Thrift Store.

MARTIN WISSMATH ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES

Its been an unforgettable season for the Alberni Ath-letics, and itll end with a shot at a provincial title.

Albernis mens soccer team defeated the Langley United Sparta in penalty kicks Sunday on the ADSS Armada field, securing a spot in the Keith Millar Cup final this upcoming Sun-day, May 10.

Sparta struck first during Sundays match within four kicks of the opening whis-tle, forcing the home team to chase the match early.

Four mess-ups by us and four perfect passes by them, said Gary Spencer-Smith, Athletics striker and team spokesman. We knew they had the ability to score goals; we werent expecting that.

The Athletics regained their confidence over the next several minutes and took back the lead with two goals in quick succession from Duke Van Wieren mid-way through the first half for a 21 scoreline in favour of the home side.

Then came the first of three Alberni disallowed goals during the match, called for offside.

Some very bad linesman decisions there, Spencer-Smith said.

Alberni felt confident going into the second half, Spencer-Smith said. While the Athletics were creating chances, the Langley team was not showing the offen-sive prowess that had won them games by multiple goals.

Late in the second, Alberni hit a bump of bad luck when the ball hit defender Daniel Klints hand inside the penalty area. The ref whistled for a kick from the spot, which the visitors put away to force extra time.

The Athletics pressed for most of the additional 30 minutes in the Sparta half, but didnt find a winner.

After each side traded goals and saves in penalty kicks, goalkeeper Jordan

Fletcher stopped one more to put his team through to the final. Fletcher earned Man of the Match honours for his efforts.

Albernis last battle for the Keith Millar Cup will take place in Langley at Willoughby Turf on Sunday. The Athletics face Guildford FC of the Vancouver Metro Soccer League.

Guildford are a younger, skilled team, said Spencer-Smith. They won the under-21 provincials the past two years; now theyre too old for that competition.

Weve got a lot more mature players, just might be a little bit smarter, a bit more wily, he said.

It doesnt matter what the result is, I think weve had the best season ever.

Stephen Curry wins NBAs MVP honourDIAMOND LEUNG SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS

OAKLAND, Calif. Warriors guard Stephen Curry is the winner of the NBAs Most Valuable Player award, the league announced Monday.

Curry, 27, became the second player in fran-chise history to win the award, joining Wilt Chamberlain, who won it in 1960 while playing for the Philadelphia Warriors.

Curry received 100 of 130 first-place votes after leading the Warriors to a league-best 67-15 record. The Houston Rockets James Harden finished second and earned 25 first-place votes after the MVP race for months centered on the two players.

Everybody was saying that because I had a good team and good teammates that that might hurt my MVP case, Curry said. If that were the case, then I wouldnt want the award because its about winning. Its a team game.

In the end, Curry won in a landslide. He was the only player to appear on every ballot while receiving 26 second-place votes, three third-place votes and a fifth-place vote. The runner-up Hard-en collected 87 second-place votes.

Currys speech lasted nearly an hour long as he thanked everyone from family members to the teams equipment manager and public relations assistants. He choked up while talking about his father, Dell, who played 16 NBA seasons.

To be able to follow in your footsteps, said Curry, failing to hold back tears, it means a lot to me.

Curry then addressed and thanked each team-mate individually.

Harden was second in the league in scoring at 27.4 points per game, leading the Rockets while perennial All-Star center Dwight Howard missed 41 games mostly because of a knee injury. The shooting guard tied for eighth in the league aver-aging 7.0 assists per game.

LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers was third in the voting.

TODAYS CROSSWORD

CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green

PREVIOUS PUZZLE

ARIES (March 21-April 19)One-on-one relating will help you develop a new way of think-ing. Your insight might give you a few minutes of pause, but then you probably will decide to test it and act on it. A well-meaning person in your life will express openness to your ideas. Tonight: Take in a movie.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)Defer to others, and listen to what is being shared. Be open to what is happening to a loved one. This person might share an experience with a great amount of detail. Expenses could run high if you are not careful about your choices. Tonight: Together-ness works.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Defer to others, and know full well what needs to happen. Your ability to understand what is happening within your immedi-ate circle makes you popular. As much as you enjoy socializing, you still will have to accomplish a certain task. Tonight: Go along with a request.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)Your creativity has an oppor-tunity for a tune-up, especially revolving around a day-to-day

matter. Given some time, you will be able to solve the issue. Youll teach others indirectly that there is no such word as impossible. Tonight: Work till the wee hours.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)No matter what you do, you cannot escape an obligation. Handle this responsibility, and you will feel more upbeat than you have in a while. Neverthe-less, be aware that someone you respect might be observing you closely, and for good rea-son. Tonight: At home.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)You can make only a certain amount of change without hav-ing a discussion with a key fam-ily member. Note that you are capable of changing your mind at the last minute. Honor what is happening within you, and have a discussion with a trusted friend. Tonight: Out late.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)You might be concerned with your finances and stability, but right now you need to act quick-ly in a separate matter. Look to making a change in the near future regarding your perspec-tive. Your mood starts becoming

more upbeat. Tonight: Wherever you want to be.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)Evaluate a money matter more carefully than you have in the past. Your knowledge of what needs to happen could change after a discussion with a close friend who understands money issues better than you do. One-on-one relating points to the right path. Tonight: Say yes.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You wake up feeling better than you have felt in a while. You could be quite serious, as you have a lot to handle. Someone who cares a lot about you, and who normally is easygoing, could cause some disruption. Tonight: Take charge and act on a personal matter.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)You seem to be past the point of no return with a personal matter. Why not go straight to the source of the issue? You could be extremely tired and withdrawn. How you handle a personal matter might vary considerably. Think before you act. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)You could be taken aback by an opportunity to change direc-tion and create more of what you want. Your nerves seem to directly reflect the anxiety of breaking a pattern that you generally dont have a problem with. Remain secure in your choices. Tonight: Be whimsical.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)How you deal with a personal matter could change substan-tially if you just relax and work with the moment. You tend to make a lot of judgments ahead of time that do not hold. Be more direct with a higher-up or an older associate. Tonight: Be in the moment.
