KRISTI DOBSONSPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Competing in a multi-day ultramarathon is an accomplishment achieved by a small percentage of athletes, but completing one during an unprecedented heat wave is even more impressive. It can also be dangerous, but as Jackie Windh and David Gilbert discovered, is possible through proper race management.
The Port Alberni couple in October finished from their first self-supported, seven day staged race in the Kalahari Desert.
The 16th annual Kalahari Extreme Marathon attracted 70 competitors, half from South Africa and the remainder from around the world. Wearing packs weighing 12 kg each, not including water, the first challenge for the pair was adjusting to the heat. Not only participants, but the race director, was forced to make changes for safety.
The first stage was 25 km and increased incrementally the first four days. It was then that the two became even more aware of the extreme heat. When the race started at 9 a.m. Windh said it was already hot and the temperature rose to the mid-50’s Celsius but felt like 60 degrees
with the humidity.“We had by far
the heaviest packs,” Windh said. “We were warned it could go down to freezing at night so we had down jackets that we never used.”
The two walked most of the route and by conserving energy were able to finish strong.
“That is a testament to being very good with nutritional management,” Windh said.
Racers were not eligible to participate unless they carried at least 2,000 calories of food per day.
She said it was a
matter of maintaining physical condition as well as mental sharpness.
“There was no room for errors,” Windh said. “If you missed a flag and got off-route, you could miss an aid station and die without water.”
One participant had a close call.
“She was staggering and was found passed out about 300 metres off-route without her pack,” Windh said. “Her pack was never found and she was in a coma for two weeks.”
The only reprieve from the heat was ducking under sparse thorn trees or near large rocks, although the temperature remained about 48
degrees in the shade. The third day was
40 km with a short-course option of 30 km, which Windh considered.
“It was dangerously hot and I knew for safety I was going to stop because I didn’t want to end up like her,” she said.
After an hour of trying to cool down by pouring water on herself, Windh’s temperature gradually came down. While waiting for a ride, others came by and encouraged her to join them.
“They said, ‘We all came together and no one leaves alone,’”
she said. “I was crying and knew then that it was not a question of not going.”
“I had a little different experience,” Gilbert said.
“The first day I was nauseated and overheating. I was going from shade to shade and didn’t think I could go another day. I found I had to adapt quickly to survive it.”
Despite the heat, he wore full length tights to guard against the sun and had a wet cloth covering his face. They both easily managed to drink 15 litres of water per day, although it was also
hot in their bottles. They also took measures to prevent blisters, infections and cramps.
By day four, when an overnight 81 km route was scheduled, the race director called for a last minute change.
The temperatures forced the cancellation of the stage as runners were already partway through. A rest day followed and both Windh and Gilbert were ready to pick up the pace. Another unexpected change was made to the planned 47 km route, which was to become a 33 km night stage.
“It was all done at the last minute and became a comedy of errors,” Windh said.
“They had to re-mark the course but didn’t scout it out first. Then the quad broke down and they fixed the red tape with orange, but the race director was colour blind.” They were still marking the route when the lead runner caught up and instead of continuing straight, they turned him back the way he came. He was the only one to know what was happening and had to adjust to an additional 16 km.
“We set out feeling good and had lighter packs so we kept a good pace,” Windh said.

KRISTI DOBSONSPECIAL TO THE NEWS
The most concern among services providing for the less fortunate this holiday season is money. Funds at both the Bread of Life and Port Alberni Shelter are draining while the cost of operation continues to increase.
Despite the generosity of the community, both organizations are being forced to not only stretch their budgets, but reach out for donations even more.
“We get a lot of
generous support from the community with food that sustains us for about four or five months at a time, but the financial budget is our primary concern,” said Minnie Hornidge, president of the Bread of Life. She said that with an aging building, the organization is facing high repair and maintenance costs, as well as regular bills that increase each year. The centre has been experiencing a deficit of $10,000 per year for several years and cannot continue to run on the lack of funds. Although the situation is critical, Hornidge said she does not expect a future closure.
“I do not envision the need to close our doors,” she said.
“At this time of year, the generosity of the Valley always comes in to support us and we are hopeful that will continue. If that situation ever arose, we would look
at restructuring to meet the needs in a new way.” Serving 26,000 meals per year, Hornidge’s main concern is to support those people who use the services.
The Bread of Life provides up to 60 breakfasts and 100 lunches per day, as well as appointments with medical staff and referrals to mental health professionals.
Pamela Day, the Bread of Life’s treasurer said that when costs continue to rise and monetary donations remain the same, the organization faces a snowball effect. “The costs of hydro and water keep going up and our donations have been the same year after year so we are starting to feel the pinch,” Day said. “It is not just one thing in particular, it is a combination.”
The organization’s recent kitchen renovations were undertaken with discounted equipment from the former Jade Restaurant, but incurred additional costs of the equipment’s transportation and installation.

hen you’re on Facebook and other social media you start following a plethora of organizations and groups that interest you. Before long they
start to accumulate and your timeline is full of stuff to read, interact with and comment on.
Nature Conservancy of Canada is one group I’ve “friended” and they place in my timeline nice stuff about the effort to save natural spaces in our country.
On Dec. 31 they sent out a challenge to encourage their friends to think about nature and natural landscapes in a meaningful way. To help us out, they provided leading questions and encourage you to sketch, write, paint, doodle or create a collage of your nature year in review. I thought I’d take up some of their guiding questions
and reflect on my year in nature. The first question is what
species did you learn about for the first time this year? In answering this question, I point out that I knew about dippers before but I learned more about
them this summer during a nature study my daughter did for her silver Duke of Edinburgh Award.
We were camping at Buttle Lake and studying the birds of Strathcona Park. Sitting on the side of Ralph River (my favourite campground), we spent an hour or two watching an American dipper at work. Those are the wren-like birds (although much larger) that hang out alongside streams. They dive under the water looking for food and they move through the water by swimming and walking on the bottom. It was fun watching that
busy little bird.The natural area that I explored
for the first time in 2015 was Yosemite National Park, a popular American national park in Calfornia. This is a place I’ve wanted to visit for years and finally got a chance to last May. It was well worth the wait. As usual, I would have liked to have spent more time there but it was as beautiful and iconic as I expected.
My most memorable close encounter with nature from 2015 would have to have been walking across the Elk Falls Suspension Bridge for the first time. What a great way to see Elk Falls, suspended over the canyon with a clear view of the water spilling over the edge.
The concept of the “green bath” was something I embraced in 2015. That involves simply going out to a green space and allowing the immersion in nature to calm you and make you feel better.

To Comment
ocial media gets a bad rap a lot of the time. Often it deserves it..Critics don’t have to look far for
evidence of its – and our – failings. Sites offer a grand showcase of
narcissism and misinformation, not to mention a whole host of other negative attributes, including greed, envy, paranoia and racism.
But it may be that we are too willing to blame the mirror for what it is reflecting – just as many are ready to shoot the messenger whenever more traditional media report something we don’t like or don’t agree with.
Social media is an easy mark and an easy scapegoat – but really it’s only as good or bad as the people who post things on it.
And many of those individuals are good, basically decent people. Their greatest crime is using social media to share the occasional laugh, a thought-provoking article or two, a chunk of positive philosophy, a cute critter or some other thing of beauty – whether shaped by nature, or the hand and eye of an artist.
Sometimes it’s even a vehicle for empathy and public spirit – evidence that people haven’t lost their basic, human connection, for all our obsession with technology.
Take the case of a father and daughter from Saskatoon en route to Victoria who lost almost all their belongings when someone stole their rented U-Haul truck and trailer in South Surrey just before New Year’s Eve.
When their plight was posted on social media, many responded positively by sharing the post. They felt for the family in its predicament – identified with how it would feel to lose everything in the middle of a momentous, and no doubt stressful, household move.
And good came of all the attention: the truck was found abandoned, and some irreplaceable mementos were recovered.
It’s worth remembering that some good can come of our current fascination with social media – particularly the next time we’re tempted to decry it for emphasizing our lack of connection and empathy.

The 61st annual Totem Tournament wrapped up with Alberni girls and boys teams taking home sixth and seventh places, respectively.
“I’m very happy with the girls’ efforts,” said Alberni District Secondary School senior girls coach Al Seredick.
“We had a very strong field this year. I felt like we did a
really good job of handling the full court press from the other teams—it’s an area we had to improve on and we did this weekend.”
There are points that Seredick thinks the girls need to work on.
“We have to work on our offensive execution in the half court. We need to find a couple scores.”
Senior boys coach Neelam Parmaar said he was pleased
with how the team improved over the course of the weekend.
“We got better as the tournament went along,” said Parmaar.
“It’s always nice at Totem for the seniors to win their last game in front of the crowds.”
Transitioning away from Parmaar and to their new coach will be the challenge going forward.
“As we’re
transitioning from myself to Coach Brooks, he’s installing his own offensive and defensive philosophies. The kids have picked it up quite well.”
Mark R. Isfeld Secondary School took home first for the boys division and Pacific Christian School took home first for the girls.
Jamie Vissia was crowned the 50th Totem Spirit winner.

One can always find beauty even when the weather is not at the best. The ducks are a reg-ular site when taking a walk on the Kitsuksis Dyke. And rain or shine, the Cherry Creek Farmer’s Market is where you wi l l find great food and plenty of friendly people every Saturday. The children’s playground at Harbour Quay is
sure to please the young ones and then there are the many great places to eat while there and to shop. As these photos show, no matter the weather we can always find some fun things to do in Port Alberni.

Echo Centre is looking to add more art to its walls—and maybe not where one would expect.
The deadline for applications for phase two of the pool mural project at Echo Pool is coming up.
“It’s a great venue for artists to showcase their skills,” said City of Port Alberni parks and recreation programmer Karen Freethy.
During phase one of the project in 2015, which is a partnership between the city and the Community Arts Council, pool murals were installed on the south wall of Echo Pool during the summer closure—with great results.
“It brings a lot of life to the place for all age groups,” said aquatic program supervisor Miki Schwarz.
“For the younger people, it brings an environment of learning, of interaction. It’s not as sterile and it has been for a very long time.”
For some of the older people who frequent the pool, the connection to the art on the walls is more personal.
“We have one lady who does aquafit and her granddaughter did one of the pieces of art,” said Schwarz.
“For her, the pride is it.”
In a community as small as Port Alberni, everyone is connected to a piece of art on the walls.
“The community knows the people who
did the artwork and so they have their favourites and they still enjoy it and they still talk about it.”
Freethy agrees.“We were hoping for
a positive outcome but the result we got from the community was amazing.”
It’s a fresh face for the aging pool, Freethy added.
With the city looking to replace the aging pool when funding becomes available, Freethy said that they decided to have the artists paint on aluminum composite panels rather than on the walls themselves.
“We’re working towards the concept of a new pool so we really didn’t want to have artists paint on the walls. If the walls at some point come down, we don’t want someone to spend all that time. These are going to be lasting pieces of art.”
The artists, Freethy said, enjoyed the opportunity to have their work in a new environment and a new demographic.
“A lot of our artists feel like it’s a challenge,” said Freethy.
“They really enjoyed the idea of being a part of a community project and making
their recreation centre a better place.”
It’s spurred other aesthetic improvements to the pool.
“The artwork itself was beautiful, putting the colour throughout the pool, I’ve never seen such a big change in the pool at one time.”
New, bright furniture has been installed throughout the seating area by the pool.
Schwarz, who’s been at the pool for years, said she’s never seen so many people come out since the artwork was installed.
“People love just to come here because it has such a great atmosphere now,” said Schwarz.
“They’ll come just to look at the art, not even to swim.”
But once people come in and look around, Schwarz said that many take the plunge and become regular users of the pool.
“I’ve seen more new faces this year than I have in probably the past five years because they’ve come in and looked at this and then they’ve seen everything,” she said.
“It’s been such a good catalyst to so many things,” said Freethy of the coming together of the arts and recreation communities.
“People are ultimately swimming and recreating more and it highlights the art. It’s a win-win.”
But in order for Freethy and Schwarz’s dream of covering all
four walls of the pool in bright new murals to come to fruition, they need more artists.
“It’s wonderful to see and highlight so many of the local artists here. We know there’s more in the woodwork so we’re hoping to bring them forward and encourage them to come out.”
The deadline for phase two of the pool mural project is Friday, Jan. 15 at 4 p.m.
The murals will be made out of aluminum composite panels and all materials will be supplied.
For more information and to pick up an application package, drop by Echo Centre or the Rollin Art Centre or call 250-724-3412.

“Those special memories of you will always bring a smile.If only I could have you back for just a little while.
Then we could sit and talk again, just like we used to do,You always meant so very much and always will do too.
The fact that you’re no longer here will always cause me pain,but you’re forever in my heart until we meet again.”

Farrell, JackApr. 3, 1937 Dec. 31, 2015
Jack passed away with family by his side in West Coast General Hospital after a lengthy illness on Thursday, December 31, 2015 at the age of 78.
Predeceased by his parents and sister; Jack is survived by his loving wife Dora; children: Doug (Donna), Laurie, Laina (Robin); grandchildren: Jason (Melissa), Holly (Dave), Jordan, Steven (Cheryl), Derek (Amy), Kristi and Blaine; great-grandchildren: Makenna, Carson and Kapri as well as extended family.
Jack retired in 1997 after 38 years as a faller for M&B. He mainly worked out of Franklin and Cameron Division with some time spent at Sarita. In his earlier years he enjoyed camping, saltwater fishing and making burl tables and clocks. After retirement he could often be found working in his garden but his main enjoyment was his grandchildren who were the center of his life.
A Celebration of Life will be held 1pm – 3pm on Saturday, January 16, 2016 at the Port Alberni Lawn Bowling Club, 4255 Wallace St.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Jack’s memory to Meals on Wheels, PO Box 323, Port Alberni, BC, V9Y 7M8.
A special thank you goes out to Tracy and Dr. Wendy Johnsen.

From / A3“We thought we
would be done and get to bed at a decent time, but all of a sudden we realize the route was getting longer.”
The final day was also shortened to 11 km from 25 km and was a flat route to the finish line at the
Kalahari Augrabies Falls National Park.
It was a gruelling experience, but Gilbert said he would return.
“I would like to go back because we know how to do it,” he said.
“The key to survive was to adapt.”
“It was a big learning
curve and we know you can’t get behind on hydration,” Windh said.
“We know what to take and what to leave now.”
Of the 70 people who started, 52 completed the race. Complete results can be found at http://www.kaem.co.za.
Adaptation key to surviving harsh conditions
From / A4“We also had a
major expense this year when we had to dig up the whole water line from the street to the side of the building and have the waterline replaced,” she said.
The same is true at the Port Alberni Shelter.
At this time of year, the shelter operates at 100 per cent capacity and feels the strain even more during cold weather events.
Between the shelter itself, beds are available for the homeless at the Phoenix House and an additional 12 for emergency shelter.
“In the winter we allow up to another 15 people with the Extreme Weather Response Program, but we often have people sleeping on mats on the floor,” said Wes Hewitt, the Shelter’s executive director.
Hewitt said the
community donations of food and clothing help sustain the organization.
“We are trying to feed people on 2009 dollars,” he said. “We haven’t had an increase since then and have had to freeze certain areas of our budget.”
Staff and volunteers are now being pushed to organize fundraisers to make up for the shortfall, including plans for a Jan. 23 dance.
Charities need help throughout the year
Port Alberni Fire Department firefighter Andre Guerin throws another tree on the pile to be chipped for Kidsport and the City of Port Alberni’s Christmas tree recycling program. Donated trees will be used to make mulch for the city’s parks and trails.

As Senior Business Relationship Manager with CCCU, Lori Kerr takes care of commercial lending for Port Alberni, To no & Ucluelet and the Oceans-ide area.
Lori relocated to Port Alberni in 1988 after work-ing for many years in nance in downtown Vancou-ver. She has enjoyed a number of different roles in her 40+ year banking career. Lori has spe-cialized in business lending for the past 15 years and views her current role with Coastal Commu-nity Credit Union as “the best job in the world”!
As a Business Relationship Manager, Lori works with small business owners in a variety of different industries, and that keeps her job both interesting and chal-lenging.
Coastal Community Credit Union is the largest nancial services organization based on Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands. CCCU offers a full range of competitive products in business & personal banking, general and personal insurance as well as investment and full nancial planning services. In total, Coastal serves more than 110,000 people across our business lines.
Under the Credit Union structure, every member is also a shareholder. Little known but very important fact: at Coastal Community Credit Union, depositors are 100% protected by the Credit Union Deposit In-
surance Corporation of BC.People are often surprised to discover how Credit
Unions compare and compete with other major nancial institutions. A great video can be viewed on Youtube entitled: “Some Choices Matter” and Lori recommends you check it out if you are curious about the differences between Credit Unions and
Banks. One of the best differences is
that all of our operations and deci-sion-making happens on Vancouver Island, and all our employees are based right here. We’re 100% local! And Coastal Community Credit Union believes in community and gives back in so many ways.
Lori is a Director of the local Rotary Club of Port Alberni Arrowsmith, a member of the Oceanside Wom-en’s Business Network, the To no Business Association and the Port Alberni Chapter of the Backcountry Horsemen of B.C. She is also a long-time member of the local Beaufort Gang and enjoys helping the gang of volunteers stage mock robberies of the Steam Train every summer.
To learn more about what Coastal Community Credit Union may offer you, feel free to call Lori Kerr at 250-731-3511. You can also connect with any of our experts at the Port Alberni branch, located at 3009 – 4th Ave and at our Insurance of ce at the Paci c Rim Shopping Centre.
