John Craven Jones Cette capsule porte sur John Craven Jones, le premier premier enseignant de race noire de Salt Spring. Originaire de la Caroline du Nord, John Craven Jones a obtenu son diplôme d'Oberlin College en 1856, avant d'immigrer en Colombie-Britannique. En 1861, John a commencé à enseigner dans une école de Central (alors appelée Vesuvius). Il se rendait régulièrement dans une petite école à Fernwood pour enseigner également. Ces déplacements étaient souvent périlleux; le terrain étant sauvage et fréquemment traversé par des couguars. John n'enseignait pas uniquement aux enfants noirs de Salt Spring Island, mais à un groupe d'élèves multiculturel, composé d'enfants blancs et autochtones. Il a enseigné pendant plus de huit ans sans être rémunéré. Ce n'est qu'en 1869, avec l'instauration du financement public obligatoire pour l'éducation, que John a commencé à recevoir un salaire. En 1882, John Craven Jones est retourné en Ohio, où il a épousé Almira Scott et eut trois enfants. De retour en Caroline du Nord, John a continué à enseigner pendant 20 ans avant de prendre sa retraite. Il est mort le 17 décembre 1911, laissant derrière lui un héritage de connaissance, de compassion, d'amour, de respect et de paix. Par: Claire Liu

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - There was a familiar face behind the Wild Things Seafood booth at Manson's Friday Market last week. In addition to being our former Regional Director, Noba Anderson's family has a connection to Cortes Island that stretches back to 1978. So Cortes Currents asked Noba about the new business she is undertaking with Peter Schmidt. “It's Peter's passion, there's no doubt about that. Peter owned his first fishing boat when he was a teenager off Saturna Island and has been fishing on and off with his own boat in younger years, and then on other people's boats more recently. So last year he was out on a tuna boat and took his payment in fish rather than money and had it processed. You can't just sell tuna, so then he bought some other things and went on the road last winter,” she explained.   “Then I started  getting a few things from his supplier and went to Denman and Hornby islands last winter, just once a month kind of thing.  We teamed up more considerably this spring and summer season.” Cortes Currents: How did you come up with a name for your enterprise? Noba Anderson: “Wild Things Seafood? -  Peter came up with it. It speaks to the fact we only carry wild products, only BC products and that great old book ‘Where The Wild Things Are,' just a little bit of play.”   “We set up in the Comox Valley for May and June, but we either didn't do enough marketing or whatever. It didn't really pan out as fast as we needed it to.” “So we pivoted and we've been  selling on six Gulf Islands every week all summer. Hornby,  Denman, Gabriola, Salt Spring, Pender and Maine, and then the odd little place in between and then having one day to  recharge and regroup and restock. So we direct source as cash flow and storage allows.” Cortes Currents: So you sleep on the road? Noba Anderson: “When we're on the road, we sleep in the fish truck.  We carry four big freezers full of product, generators, and rope to the front bumper. It's a traveling fun show a la Pete for sure.”

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Viewers from Cortes, Salt Spring and Galiano Islands down to the cities of Victoria and Vancouver logged in to the virtual Cortes Housing Forum on  Friday June 14, 2024. The topic was ‘increasing rentals' and host Sadhu Johnston invited two high profile guests.  David Hutniak has established himself as the voice of the rental housing industry in BC with the government, media, renter groups and other stakeholders that call upon him for input and advice. He is also the CEO of Landlord BC. Lisa Helps is a former advisor to the Premier, as well as a former mayor of Victoria. Now she heads the BC Builds program. Sadhu Johnston is a former City DIrector of Vancouver, and wears many hats on Cortes Island in addition to being Executive Director of the Cortes Community Housing Society. In his introduction to the program, Johnston pointed out, “Building in rural communities is even harder than building in urban communities. In many cases you've got to bring in materials, you have labor shortages. There are unique challenges that we face in our rural communities.”

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - The ICAN water security team and We Wai Kai Guardians are getting prepared to map Quadra Island's wetlands. It is part of a much larger project which also involves monitoring the island's rainfall, streamflow and wells. As you will hear in the interview that follows, this project is also relevant  to surrounding islands like Cortes. Bernie Amell, a recognized authority in the design of constructed wetlands for water treatment, and in the restoration of streams and riparian habitats, is in charge of mapping the wetlands.  
“Three or four years ago, we started being concerned about climate change as it would affect the water cycle. This is a temperate rainforest country and we're already seeing with the cedars, a change in their range and healthiness.  So there's environmental reasons for being concerned, but there's also the human use factors. At what point do you say,  we basically can't have more human use? The sponge doesn't have more water in it,” he explained. 
“We hear all kinds of horror stories about Pender Island, Salt Spring, Hornby. They're actually in much more serious immediate trouble as the climate changes because they don't have as good an aquifer development. I'm not saying  that's the point that Cortes or Quadra are at, it's just not knowing is  an uncomfortable place to be. So four years ago, we started looking at that  in the big picture:  climate change,  wetlands, the aquifers.”  
CC: How far have you got in the wetland project?  
Bernie Amell: “Right now  we're developing a field guide for citizen science teams to go out and use mainly plants, but also other ways of looking at the terrain for clues as to where the permanent wetlands are, where the seasonal ones are, where there are impermanent streams.” 
“The team has separate project teams. Eileen Mckay is very strongly involved in this and there's a couple of other people who are knowledgeable in native plants and they're providing their expertise in developing this guidebook. Then we'll just hit the ground and go out and recruit people to come and bushwhack with us.” 
CC: Should people in the surrounding islands, like Cortes, be interested in this mapping project? 
Bernie Amell: “It'll actually be quite relevant.  The more settled areas of Cortes are in the same kind of terrain that I'm talking about. The land that's farmable,  where there's some soil and you can actually grow things, is  glacial silt deposited stuff. You're probably very very similar to what we've got here and also the plant community is similar. I've been bushwhacking a little bit there, and the terrain and parts of Cortes is very similar  to what we see here.”

While the smaller islands around Vancouver Island are popular destinations in the summer, there's something to be said for visiting during the quieter winter months, specifically the Southern Gulf Islands. Like Tofino, this small group of islands have a become a food, drink and cultural destination year round. Anya chats with Amanda Stars of Pender Island Chocolates, Jesse Keefer of Bodega Ridge Resort, and Jaimie Stirling of Southern Gulf Islands Tourism about where to go, and what to eat and drink, while you're there.

Submission by Nancy Beach - The opinions that follow are those of the person expressing them and not necessarily shared by Cortes Currents, or Cortes Radio. The following submission was made by Nancy Beach. After dealing with BC assessment for 17 years or more, in regard to my small farm on Salt Spring Island, I have come to the conclusion that: Farm assessments should be administered by the Ministry of Agriculture, not the Ministry of Housing. The system for assessing farm status needs to be overhauled. It should not be lumped in with assessing the values of residential properties. Farmers should be given adequate time to present and debate their cases. More people who care about farms should sit on the board of the Property Assessment Appeal Board (PAAB), and the panel of the Property Assessment Review Panel, (PARP).' PARP plan panel members making decisions concerning farms should be well educated about the farm regulations number. Pabst should not charge for their services. BC Farmers need an organization to represent them, represent themselves and help defend their interests before the B. C. Assessment when necessary. While my farm is on Salt Spring, I am a resident of Cortes Island and believe these matters are concerns of small farmers and all farmers throughout British Columbia. I also want to publish a transcript of my latest hearing before the property assessment review panel PARP on March 15th, 2023 which actually went partly in my favor. I was asking for them to provide farm status for the entire property. They decided to only provide farm status for a small part of the land. Audio of the hearing is in a separate podcacst

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - The first Rural Islands Economic Partnership (RIEP) Forum was held on Pender Island during 2019. They were forced to hold virtual events after COVID hit, but the 2023 RIEP Forum is an in-person event that will be held on Gabriola Island, April 25-27. “The event is a flagship event for the 18 plus rural islands of BC. The reach is from Bowen Island to Malcolm Island to Salt Spring to Gabriola, to Cortes, and Quadra. Our motto is, no one island can be resilient alone, and together we're stronger and better,” explained Francine Carlin, Chair and Interim Executive DIrector of the Rural Islands Economic Partnership. Kate Madigan was one of the half dozen Cortes Island residents that attended the 2019 RIEP forum and will be returning with 3 others from the CCEDA (Cortes Community Economic Development Association) this year. KM: “Here on Cortes, we meet a lot of our community needs through nonprofits, and those are the people on the ground. We don't have municipal government support. We have the SRD, but it's fairly limited. I just really love listening to other people from the other islands who have the same Issues that we do.” Cortes Island Regional Director Mark Vonesch was invited, but it's unlikely he'll be able to attend. KM: “It's too bad Mark couldn't join us, Noba (Anderson) did go in 2019, but we can get him involved in some of the online events. FC: “I said to him, let's have a Cortes area delegation meet with you, and talk about what's really needed from a Regional District perspective.” “We realize people are traveling from all across BC to come to this event. Many are arriving on Monday night, some are coming Tuesday morning to register, have lunch, and then the actual formal program with the welcome from the First Nation comes in at 1:00 PM. We have an opening around the model of ‘Donut Economics,' which is recognizing that we need to have ecological and social justice in order to achieve our ability to live on the island, on the planet in a regenerative and sustainable way. We have Ben Geselbracht, the Nanaimo City Counselor who brought donut economics into Nanaimo.” Carlin said Nanaimo was the first city in Canada to use Donut Economics as a lens for their decision making around climate adaptation and economic investments. The first evening will conclude with a Sarah Osborne concert. FC: “Wednesday is a very heavy day. We call it the un-conference Conference because it's not your typical ‘talking heads.' It is plenaries, that are all interactive panels which engages the audiences with q and a.” “We are really proud to have Vancity as the presenting sponsor and led by Michelle Laviolette, Director of Indigenous banking. Vancity was very excited about RIEP because RIEP represents the intersectionality of climate adaptation, reconciliation, and economic capacity building from a regenerative lens.” “We have panels that are being sponsored by them around housing lessons learned across the islands, working with indigenous businesses through the lens of reconciliation and the economics of climate change We also have interactive panels on arts vitality, travel as a force for good , circular economy success , government services related to Island Coastal Economic Trust and the BC Ministry of Jobs, Economic Development and Innovation." “It's a very full packed schedule, and one that is also networking and connecting with Islanders across BC. In terms of just the general ambience of the program, it's basically a grassroots event. There's hardly any corporate or any government presenters. It's all the people who are on the ground doing the work.”

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - “ If we achieve this, which I believe we're going to do, this is a model for other communities. We look at places like Salt Spring and even Quadra Island and places in northern BC where they have lost their lakes. The Process is called eutrophication. When the lakes just become too rich in nitrogen and they become swamps. It's not just our issue, it's everybody's issue and if we show a way to improve the nutrient flow into the lake while adding these extra homes, that's a model for the whole world,” said Rex Weyler, one of the scientists monitoring Hague and Gunflint Lakes. He was talking about the potential impacts of what would soon be called Rainbow Ridge. Weyler was also looking back to the lake's algae bloom, and fish die off, in 2014. They were caused by the flow of nutrients from properties and streams along the shore. Five years have passed since that interview, but it seems possible that this affordable building project may achieve its goal of decreasing the flow of nutrients into the lake. Sandra Wood, Executive Director of the Cortes Housing Society, explained, “The thing that helps to stop algae blooms is basically keeping phosphorus out of the lake. Anybody who's living in the watershed, in the Mansons Landing core, can help. Specifically anything they can do to make sure that phosphorus is not leaving their property, entering the watershed and entering the lake, will help to protect the lake from algae blooms. Hopefully over time as people's septic systems get renovated, or as new high-tech septic systems get installed, that will help in improve the water quality as far as the runoff that's going down downstream into the lakes.” “We have positive news about the soil on the Rainbow Ridge property. Brian French, the soil scientist that we hired, collected samples on our property and specifically around where the waste water system will be as far as the septic fields will be located. He discovered that our soil naturally is very high in iron and aluminum. Those are two naturally occurring minerals that actually attract phosphorus and bind phosphorus to the soil particles. It will not be in the water column as far as being transported in across the property during downpours or in the winter when the water table's really high on the island. Phosphorus coming out of our septic system will be trapped and held in the soil on the property and will not be flowing downstream in the watershed.” “The other thing that it helped us confirm is that everything we're planning to do as far as stormwater management in bioswales, ditches and in our holding pond - All of that will help us to settle any sediments that are coming off of our property Especially if there are atmospheric events like atmospheric rivers and torrential downpours, that will probably happen more as climate change continues. Those suspended particles of soil will have a chance to filter out, to settle out in our stormwater system instead of being flushed into the lake. We're giving the nitrogen that is naturally occurring in the soil a chance to be absorbed by the plants and the trees that are on our property.” “Bottom line: All of the things that we're planning to do, are going to help protect the lakes from any contamination and we're really pleased to report that.” “Friends of Cortes Island or FOCI has been doing an ongoing water testing program in the lakes, gathering those samples and then consulting with Lake experts, limnologists. and other people who have expertise in that field.”

De Clarke/ Cortes Currents - For the last several years, a small but dedicated group of Cortes Islanders have been taking practical steps towards an ambitious goal for themselves and their community: a healthier relationship with death and dying.

Caffyn Jesse (erospirit.ca) has 20+ years experience teaching somatic sex education and sexological bodywork, helping people experience sexual pleasure for the first time and discover how strong and full-bodied their pleasure can be, based in Saltspring, Canada with links to the Institute for the Study of Somatic Sex Education. ~This is a powerful method because it's based in feeling, seeing, accepting yourself first, and from there learning how you became the way you did and how you don't have to follow any old path but rather can - especially with the right support - shift right back to your true self and fullest desire in life. ~With patience and love, Caffyn accompanies people whether healing from trauma or just never having had the kind of experiences they want and know they can. It gives people decades of their life back in super connected sex. ~Thanks Caffyn for making time to share your experience, understanding and ethics. ~~ If the show makes a difference in your life, come support it and enjoy group and 1-on-1 calls at www.patreon.com/healthysexandrelationships!

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - In addition to being given charitable status, the Cortes Island Community Foundation developed some important relationships. “We recently were just accepted as a member into the Community Foundations of Canada and that's also like a really big step for us,” explained Vice President/Treasurer Mark Spevakow. This is the governing body for about 200 community foundations, which range from small island organizations like Galiano and Salt Spring to the much larger Victoria, Winnipeg and Vancouver Foundations. “If we're running into a problem, there's a good chance that somebody involved with other one of the other community foundations of Canada has already crossed that ground,” said Spevakow. One of their new associates is the 25-year-old Campbell River Community Foundation. “So there might be something geographically that allows us to contact them and say, ‘Hey, have you come across something like this?'” The Cortes Island Foundation is also working with Cortes islands 20 plus grassroots organizations, nonprofits, and charities. Manda Aufochs Gillespie was hired, as part time staff, to help set up a social profit network. The Foundation purchased a community grants database, to help organizations identify the specific grants they should apply for. “I think we worked all together with about a dozen organizations and based upon that initial push, my understanding is that leveraged to more than a hundred thousand dollars of additional grants and money coming into the community for community projects,” said Spevakow. The Foundation and Cortes Community Health Association partnered to raise $30,000 for a micro temporary workspace for that island nonprofit workers are calling ‘the pod.' “people can go there and they've got internet access and an office that they could work out of,” explained Spevakow. The Foundation,Cortes Literacy and the Community Health Association partnered to deliver almost $20,000 in small, actionable micro grants to 30 different projects on Cortes. These include Klahoose cultural language programs, women's aging support group, youth programs, equipment and a lot more. Up until now, all of the Foundations funding came from the Directors. They have just made another big step: “We have just kind of received our very first donation that came from outside of one of the directors.” Spevakow added, “The thing I wanted to touch on, which is also really important for our for foundation, that we have set up our first permanent forever money fund.” This is the core funding that will not be spent. It is the principal that will but serve as a guarantee there is money to be dispersed for the community's needs every year. The board spent quite a bit of time vetting where this money should be invested. “Luckily, a few years back, the Vancouver Foundation started a separate fund called their socially responsible investment fund. It places funds into investments with strict environmental, social and corporate governance,” said Spevakow. He believes the return was greater than 10% this year. That 10% is the money that would be used for community disbursements. Photo credit: screenshot of Mark Spevakow taken during interview

Travellers returning to British Columbia will face more intensive screening. The Premier says people arriving at airports and border crossings will have to show they have a plan to self-isolate, instead of just promising to do so. John Horgan says translators will be stationed at airports to ensure travellers understand that self-isolation means returning directly home, with no stops at grocery stores, picking up pets or visits with friends or family. Horgan says people will be taken into quarantine if they are showing symptoms of COVID-19 or if they do not have a place to self-isolate. The Premier concedes enforcement measures are still being sorted out. He says police have the power to levy fines or charges under the federal Quarantine Act, and the province is examining whether local bylaw officers should be given the same power.In more travel news, BC Ferries has changed its schedules on routes that serve the Southern Gulf Islands. Starting this Friday, service to Long Harbour on Saltspring Island will be temporarily suspended.

BC Parks has also extended its ban on camping until the end of May. Refunds for bookings will be sent automatically. Canada's national parks were closed to traffic two weeks ago because of a big spike in use.Written and reported by Lisa Cordasco. Senior Reporter and News Director for CHLY 101.7FM.Have a tip?

The number of homeless people in Nanaimo has increased by close to 25 percent over the past two years. This year's homeless count reports 425 people living unsheltered in Nanaimo. There were 335 homeless counted in Nanaimo in 2018. The Nanaimo Homeless Coalition says the new numbers underline the urgent need for governments to increase investments and resources in the community, especially during the COVID-19 outbreak. BC's Ministry of Housing is in discussions with the Nanaimo, Duncan and Parksville about city-owned properties that could be used to bring people indoors. The Ministry is also in discussions with private hotel owners in these areas to provide other self-isolation spots. The City of Nanaimo has voted to write a letter to the province, offering to take part in a pilot project to provide a safe drug supply to opiate users. Mayor Leonard Krog says he's concerned about the dwindling illegal drug supply in the wake of travel restrictions due to the pandemic. Krog fears desperation will increase street violence and those experiencing drug withdrawal will overwhelm hospitals.Written and reported by Lisa Cordasco.

In November 2016 Haida Bolton became our provinces first certified therapy guide. And if you have spent an afternoon in the forest you probably already understand how numerous studies have documented the many benefits of forest therapy. In fact forest environments have the ability to significantly reduce stress hormones. She says her happiest memories have always been connected to nature. And so it was natural for Haida to resonate with youth camps. Both as a youth and adult, Haida worked as a pillar inside of many of British Columbia's youth camps. She then found herself in Africa where she started her own youth camps. She says even today, Africa and it's people resonate in her heart. It was there in Tanzania she first met Jane Goodall. The second time on our local Salt Spring islands. She remains in awe of Jane's magical and saint like serene aura. After years of being a forest therapy guide, Haida also carries the magical calming energy of the forest! And this is where she found peace once again while grieving the loss of her marriage, she spent time among the towering trees, cascading creeks and began to research the growing practice of shinrin yoku known more commonly as forest bathing.
