James Quatell on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Lindsay Chung Campbell RiveR miRRoR
W
hen the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) released its final 3,231-page report Dec. 15 in Ottawa, We Wai Kai Elder James Quatell welcomed the announcement — not as the end of a six-year process, but as the beginning of a new era of action. Quatell has the “truth” part of the Truth and Reconciliation down — he knows his truth, and he shares it with people who ask. He is a product of the residential school system, having been taken away from his family in Campbell River when he was 10. He spent four years at St. Michael’s Indian Residential School in Alert Bay and returned at the age of 14, feeling like a stranger in his community and feeling ashamed of his First Nations culture. But now, Quatell is eager to work on the “reconciliation” aspect — and he feels that this can be done by continuing to share his story and his truth. Quatell left St. Michael’s in 1962, but it took him until 1994 to start sharing his story. He remembers that this came as a result of his community. The We Wai Kai nation built its own canoe here and paddled to Bella Bella. After leaving Campbell River, their first stop heading north was Alert Bay, and although Quatell had been there
many times since 1962, this was the first time he visited the community in the band’s traditional canoe. As they pulled in, they were invited onto the beach, and Quatell remembers this as one of his proudest moments. That pride quickly faded when he saw the St. Michael’s building right behind the beach where the ceremony took place. This moment ended up being the beginning of Quatell dealing with his past. “I was sitting in our canoe, there was like a surge that started from the bottom of my feet and worked all the way up my body, I could feel it, and it pushed my spirit up to that building again,” he said. “My inner voice was pointing at that building: ‘I’m going to deal with you; you’re not going to have that power over me no more.’” The next day, when they continued their journey, Quatell remembers sitting in the galley of a big seiner and one of the men asked him what he was thinking about. Quatell said he was thinking about where he would be if he was at home, which would be at a meeting. When the man asked Quatell what he did at the meetings, he said they sit around a table and talk. “He said ‘well, what’s wrong with here?’ so we had a meeting on our boat and talked,” recalled Quatell. “That was the first time I

What was supposed to be the expansion plan for Laichwiltach Family Life Society’s daycare at the corner of Cedar Street and 4th Avenue is now a charred pile of rubble after a devastating fire on Boxing Day. The cause of the fire may never be known due to the extent of the damage.
Holidays hard on fire department Mike davies Campbell RiveR miRRoR
Campbell River Fire and Rescue has been busier than normal this holiday season – and all year, in fact – according to Fire Chief Ian Baikie. The recent snowy weather has led to a “significant increase in call volumes,” surrounding motor vehicle incidents, Baikie says, many of which were more severe in nature than they would otherwise be had the recent weather not changed the dynamic on the roads – or if the

public was more careful. “People just need to take it easy. They have to realize that when the roads are like this, you just can’t do what you usually can,” Baikie says. When it’s actually snowing, visibility is lessened, Baikie says, and when lower visibility is combined with other factors like slippery roads, improper tires for the conditions, and speed, it can have tragic results. “You can’t brake in the same distance. You can’t travel the same speed and have your vehicle react the same way,” Baikie says. “Peo-

ple need to realize this and drive accordingly.” Between the increase in traffic incidents and an increase in fire responses, Baikie says they have had their hands full recently. When not attending motor vehicle incidents after the dump of snow, they were responding to fire calls like a fully-engulfed vacant trailer owned by the Laichwiltach Family Life Society on Boxing Day and what they thought was a chimney fire on Pengelley Road, but which ended up being a smoulderContinued on Pg. 5

stories. The TRC, an element of the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement, offered individuals directly or indirectly affected by the legacy of the residential school system a chance to share their stories. This past June, the commission released an executive summary in Ottawa that presented 94 calls to action to try to repair the legacy of residential schools and advance the process of reconciliation. Quatell, who was in Ottawa for the June event, doesn’t want the voice of residential school survivors to be spoken once but be silent now that the TRC final report has been released. “That’s why I say today ‘it’s not over; it’s only begun,’” he said. “Now it’s up to us to

And sitting across from me in the galley was this other person, and as I continued to talk about my story, I could see tears rolling down his cheeks. After I finished telling my story, he said ‘you just told my story.’ And I thought ‘wow.’ If you can add that to any kind of reconciliation, that would be it, to have somebody else see and feel the way you felt and know that you helped him move from where he was.” The telling of — and listening to — stories is key for Quatell, who gets invited to a lot of treatment centres as an Elder these days and spends a lot of time talking to people there and listening to their

If you don’t know what it’s about and you think you have no part in it, that’s why I say listen to people who are telling their stories.” He says many people make comments like “well, it was a long time ago,” “when are you guys going to get over it?” or “what more do you want?” and his reconciliation is dealing with his past but also with how statements and questions like this affect him. To take action on reconciliation, Quatell is creating opportunities to let his voice and his thoughts be heard.

We Wai Kai Elder James Quatell says the process of reconciliation is not over now that a report from the Truth and Reconcilliation Commission has been completed.
2012, Quatell helped MC the hearings and shared his story with the commission – here and in Victoria. Although he now feels that getting a chance to share his story helped him feel free, he remembers being angry at the commission for coming to his community and for wanting him to be involved. “It was kind of like
them saying directly to me ‘it’s time for you to reconcile’ and I would say ‘why should I reconcile something I had no part in?’” he said. “I had to really look at it wholeheartedly and think ‘it did happen, I didn’t want to be part of it; it was a part of when the government implemented that structure to happen to us.’ In many
circles, I close with them now, and I say ‘you know what? My name is James Quatell; I’m not a survivor anymore. I’m a voice. I’m a voice for the residential school.’ And that’s where I want to be understood. I was stuck in being a survivor. Now I’m doing the work I need to do and if that falls under reconciliation, so be it.”

be taught in schools, he contacted School District 72 and said he’s willing to speak to classes. By the time the Christmas holidays began, he had already shared his story with three classes at Carihi Secondary School and two classes at Southgate Middle School. One place Quatell would like to approach next to share his story is in churches. “If I can tell my story, I need to do that to have some kind of reconciliation, specifically in that part of my life,” he said. “It’s not about blaming them or shaming them, by no means. My Elders say you don’t do this to shame anybody; you do it to set yourself free. And that’s how it’s done.” When the TRC came to Campbell River in

The Laichwiltach Family Life Society (LFLS) received a very unwelcome gift on Boxing Day when a vacant trailer that was on their property at the corner of Cedar Street and 4th Avenue went up in flames, along with their current plans to expand their daycare services. “When we got there, the trailer was fully involved and burning end to end,” Campbell River Fire Chief Ian Baikie says. “Crews got it knocked down quickly, but it’s a total loss.” Baikie says that the trailer wasn’t in use at the time of the fire, and
wasn’t even hooked up to any power sources, so it’s likely a suspicious fire. At this point, however, the exact cause of the blaze is unknown. Baikie says it’s doubtful the fire department will ever be able to determine the exact cause of the fire due to the extent of the damage, but says the incident “is obviously an act of vandalism that (the RCMP) will be investigating,” and the fire department will be keeping a close eye on whether other suspicious fires start happening. “At this point, there’s no pattern that we’re aware of,” Baikie says. “But if one arises, that’s a situation that we’re going to be taking very

We were going over the year in news, trying to determine the top stories of 2015 – a traditional exercise in newspapers at this time of the year. While it’s the turning of a new year and a time to look ahead, it’s also a time to look back. There’s rarely much difference between one year and the next. There were big stories and there were the “same old, same old” – some stories never seem to go away. But each year things happen and it’s rare that one story is so earth-shattering that it changes the way things are. The closure of the Elk Falls pulp mill was one such story a few years back but that was a rare thing. This past year, we had things happen. ■ The Elk Falls Suspension Bridge opened to great fanfare. ■ People died and their bodies were found on the beach in separate incidents. ■ The year began with the tragic loss of Trevor Lyttle whose body was found after an extensive search.

And the news story of the year is... A LIMB
As the calendar is flipped open and the first month of 2016 greets us, many of us welcome the feeling of a new beginning that’s always associated with New Year’s Day. Nothing is actually different between Dec. 31, 2015 and Jan. 1, 2016, except the numbers used to designate the day and date. The economy doesn’t suddenly change. The weather certainly doesn’t change from what we’ve been getting the previous few weeks.. But in our minds, something changes. We certainly are not as busy as we were the latter half of December but, more than that, our thoughts are prone to looking ahead. Maybe we decide to lose some weight, eat healthier, exercise more. Other thoughts like, I should get out fishing more often this year. Or I’ll spend We say: The more time playing catch New Year is a with my kids. Maybe this is the year time filled with you decide to go into possibility business for yourself. Or change careers. All things seem possible when the calendar is turned. The challenge is to change thought into action. Maybe that’s the biggest resolution we all need to make – to take action on our hopes, thoughts, plans and dreams. As the shoe company says, “Just do it!” There are many things we can do in our area. We can take more action on the plight of the homeless in our community. We can pitch in and help remove invasive species from our beautiful wetlands and estuarine habitats. We can help stock the shelves of the Food Bank. We can give our time towards helping young people in the region. We can take a moment to tell our federal and provincial representatives what kind of country or province we want. We can complain less and demand more. We can give more and take less. There’s no shortage of things we can all do to make our communities better. Let’s be the year we all resolve to do one thing that makes our region better. Happy New Year to all of our readers and advertisers.

Falls Suspension Bridge. Second was the summer drought which, ironically, was evened out by winter rains with the year being only slightly wetter than usual when all is said and done. And, again, because we have an extensive reservoir system on the Buttle/Campbell lakes, we were able to retain enough water that filled our needs with only moderate water conservation. But the Elk Falls Suspension Bridge opening has had a big impact. It was hugely popular when it opened and continues to be. I was there on Boxing Day and despite the slush and snow, there were many others out for a post-Christmas walk. The bridge won’t generate direct jobs nor pour millions into the local economy but it is drawing many visitors. The biggest impact is in the joy residents are getting out of the bridge and giving us all a new perspective on the surrounding Elk Falls Park.

Gear Up for Fun this Winter
Starting in early December and continuing for the next three months there will be many people from Campbell River and area heading south to Mexico for the winter. They will leave the rain and wind behind and enjoy activities such as golfing and saltwater fishing along with beaching and just being a tourist. The recreation fishing industry in Mexico is quite different from what we are used to here on Vancouver Island and a rule of thumb is buyer beware. As a tourist and fishing destination, Mazatlan was one of the first destinations to offer fishing as an activity and today there are many cities offering fishing trips to tourists. Today, Cabo San Lucas is a haven for deep sea fishing and the cost is quite reasonable at $600 american for a day trip for two. The large fish that tourists are

has been booked, ask about start time and it’s advisable to show up early. The fishing regulations are different in Mexico as compared to what we have in Campbell River. On any fishing charter its always safety first and have fun fishing on your day out on the water. I wish all anglers a happy New Year and I look forward to another year of enjoyable fishing in Campbell River. I receive a lot of reader response with pictures and information and I thank everyone for sharing information. Each week I check in with the tackle shops and I get out and fish the local lakes and rivers and get the information out here in The Fishing Corner. A one- day fishing Dderby is in its planning stage for Campbell River in mid June with details to be announced later this month.
Lea Cadwallader of Campbell River with 2 marlin landed and released in Cabo December 4th
after is the striped black and blue marlin along with dorado. On light tackle, the game fish are rooster fish, amber jack and a variety of snapper.
If you are planning a fishing trip, it is well advised to go to the marina and talk to the operator yourself. In some cases a fishing trip booked through a vendor is simply a turtle hunting boat ride and the people were along to pay the expenses. In some cases, a person wants an easy day with lunch and drinks or some want a “get me a big fish” type trip.
Some of the anglers who fish in Mexico have their charters booked well in advance and have reputable companies that they have been dealing with in previous years. Often the vendors on the beach will be hawking their merchandise to newly-arrived tourists and some will offer fishing trips at a reduced price.
Happy Holidays to all our many dive graduates!
In general, you want a charter company that has years of experience with professional guides and quality boats. Once your trip
Happy New Year and happy fishing in 2016.

People’s Choice Award recipient selected at 2015 Festival of Trees Broadstreet Properties and Seymour Pacific Developments Ltd. wins People’s Choice Award for second year in a row
The Festival of Trees at the Museum at Campbell River has attracted more than 800 visitors, has been seen by hundreds of school children visiting on tours and has been the backdrop for many special events and receptions. Each visitor was given the opportunity to cast a ballot for their favourite among more than 20 decorated trees. The ballots have been counted and a winner has been selected. The 2015 People’s Choice Award winner is Broadstreet Properties and Seymour Pacific Developments Ltd. Their tree, entitled Miracle on Broad Street, has branches swathed with snow, decorations in a classic black and white motif and an oldfashioned street sign as an added accent piece.
This is the second year in a row that Broadstreet Properties and Seymour Pacific Developments Ltd. has won this prestigious award. “The tree was inspired by the movie Miracle on 34th Street,” explains Yani Indrajaya, one of the tree decorators. “We did a play on the title of the movie and were trying to recreate a street light with snow falling.” This was the third annual Festival of Trees and it ran throughout the month of December at the museum. Earlier in December, prizes were also given out for the Most Unique, Most Traditional and Best of the Festival trees. Complementing the decorated trees were exhibits of classic toys, archival photos and vintage cards.

Santa and his Elf bring smiles to young and old Twenty-seven Christmases. That’s how long Santa has been visiting Campbell River Hospital. During that time he has shared countless oranges, candy canes and most importantly moments of good cheer.
Santa Claus would probably do this all by himself because he knows the value of reaching out to others and engaging, even briefly, in conversation and laughter. Fortunately, he doesn’t have to. A particularly dedi-
cated elf has accompanied him for the past 17 years. In addition, Thrifty Foods has made sure he is well supplied with oranges and canes. Santa’s great skill is in bringing smiles to young and old. His great
virtue, and that of his elf, lies in taking the time to spread moments of joy to those who are separated from their families and the pleasures of the season. Take a tip from Santa, reach out, make someone smile today.
Helpful post-Christmas holiday recycling tips O nce Christmas morning arrives there is always the question of what to do with the wrapping and packaging. How to power your new gadgets and what to do with old electronics and appliances. Here are five green tips from London Drugs this holiday season : 1. Recycle your packaging Now people can actually recycle their packaging where they bought it. Our comprehensive Bring Back the Pack recycling program provides an opportunity for all packaging from London Drugs products to be properly recycled. This answers the question of what to do with the Styrofoam surrounding your
brand new TV or the cardboard and plastic wrap around your new kitchen toy. London Drugs has been actively recycling Styrofoam since 2008 and has diverted over 250,000lbs of it from landfills. 2. Recycle your old electronics and small appliances
Bring in the old electronics and appliances that were replaced over the holidays for proper recycling. Besides electronics like TV’s, computers and video players, customers can also recycle any small appliance with a plug at their nearest London Drugs. This includes toasters, microwaves, kettles, hair dryers, curling irons, televisions, alarm clocks and even cordless phones.
3. Rechargeable Batteries
Did you receive an electronic game or toy? Consider using rechargeable batteries to extend your play, reduce waste and save money in the long run. Popular sizes are all available with compact chargers and provide a great value for those toys designed to entertain your children, big and small, for hours on end. And remember, you can bring in your old batteries for recycling to any London Drugs. For more information on Rechargeables vs Regular Batteries visit our Green Deal blog. 4. Recycle your broken Christmas lights

5. Donate your old cell phones and smartphones Instead of discarding your old cell phones and smartphones; drop them off at London Drugs for proper recycling in a Call2Recycle collection box.

Area D to nix shipping container ban ludicrous,” McMartin wrote in an email to the regional district. “In an area where affordable housing is at an extreme shortage, banning shipping containers is asinine, even Campbell River uses a shipping container for a temporary homeless shelter.” Q u a d r a Is l an d e r Mike Gall said he didn’t agree with government controlling what people put on their own properties, within reason. “I find it quite offensive that the SRD would even consider placing a complete ban on them,” Gall said. “I am not a fan of unnecessary governance imposing rules on what I can do on my own property unless it endangers or affects the health and well-being of my family and neighbours.”
Leigh said in taking those comments into consideration she decided to scrap a similar plan for Area D. She reluctantly said she would be fine with leaving the issue until January but said it’s up to the board to decide. “We can leave it to January, it doesn’t matter, I just wanted to get it off my mind and off the table,” Leigh said. “I would like to get it off the table so staff can focus on other things but if you want to drag it out til January. “I don’t believe in dragging things out any longer than necessary.” The board in the end chose to honour Leigh’s original notice of motion to consider the shipping container issue on Jan. 13 – the board’s first meeting in the new year.

The director for electoral Area D wants to scrap proposed restrictions on shipping containers in her area after a similar crackdown proposed for Quadra Island caused a public backlash. Area D Director Brenda Leigh served notice at the Nov. 26 Strathcona Regional District meeting that at the board’s first meeting in January she will be rescinding the bylaw that proposes to prohibit shipping containers on residential property. But at the board’s Dec. 10 meeting, Leigh tried to speed up the process and rescind the bylaw at that meeting instead. D i re c tor C h arl i e Cornfield said because Leigh stated the notice of motion was for January, that the bylaw should not be reconsidered before then. “ The purpose of notice of motion is to give directors time to consider it and I haven’t seen it,” Cornfield said. That didn’t sit well with Leigh who said she didn’t want to waste the board’s – and staff ’s – time. “It’s not exactly a controversial motion,” said Leigh. “It went to a public hearing on Quadra and was severely rejected over there so all I’m doing by bringing it forward is to indicate to staff that they no longer have to
keep working on it.” A proposed bylaw on Quadra, that would have banned shipping containers on all property other than industrial sites, was recently scrapped by Quadra Director Jim Abram after 25 people spoke out against the proposal. Most defended the use of shipping containers as affordable housing alternatives and storage options, and many admitted to using storage containers as an affordable dry storage option. Tania McMartin of Quadra said other communities are actively allowing the use of shipping containers to improve their cities. “Progressive cities are permitting homes and storage to be built from these materials and the fact that a ban on Quadra Island is being considered is

Chances changes hands City staff will look Campbell River facility one of six properties being added to Gateway Casinos & Entertainment’s operations; new owners say it will be “business as usual” during transition MIKE DAVIES CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Employees of Chances Campbell River have a new employer, but other than the name on their paycheques, the implications of that change remain unclear. The gaming facility now falls under the ownership umbrella of Gateway Casinos & Entertainment (Gateway). Gateway announced, on Dec. 23, their acquisition of Playtime Gaming, who owned and operated Chances. Campbell River Chances is one of six properties being added to Gateway’s operations – Abbotsford, Courtenay, Langley, Penticton and Victoria facilities being the others – “making it the largest and most diversified gaming company in Canada,” according to the release
“
THEY SAID IT: “Right now, our immediate priority is to make a smooth transition. Our customers can expect the same great service from the same great staff as they were getting, just under Gateway, now.”

on the acquisition. “Gateway now has 18 gaming properties with more than 200 tables, over 6,100 slot machines, and together with business partners, Gateway operates 36 restaurants, 1,000 hotel rooms and has over 3,800 employees.” “This is an exciting day for everyone at Gateway as we welcome Playtime to be a part of Gateway’s growth strategy,” Tony
Santo, CEO of Gateway Casinos & Entertainment Limited, says in the release. CEO of Playtime Gary Gordon is seemingly happy with the arrangement, as well. “Gateway is a leader in gaming across Canada,” says Gordon. “I am excited for our employees and our customers as we become part of a best-in-class gaming and entertainment company.”

The transition from Playtime to Gateway facilities will be overseen by Tom Nellis, Playtime’s previous owner, “to ensure a smooth transition of operations and employees,” but Playtime properties, including Chances Campbell River, will now report to Jag Nijjar, senior vicepresident of operations of Gateway. A representative for Chances Campbell River said no comment would be forthcoming from the local facility, directing all questions to Gateway public relations. Tanya Gabara, director of public relations for Gateway, says operations at the facility will be “business as usual” while the facility transitions to the Gateway family. “Right now, our immediate priority is to make a smooth transition,” says Gabara. “Our customers can expect the same great service from the same great staff as they were getting, just under Gateway, now.” After that transition takes place, Gabara says, “operations will be reviewed and reassessed,” to determine the exact direction each facility will take in terms of offerings and structure.
into how to add value and impact to purchasing decisions KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
City council is considering making a change to how the City of Campbell River makes its purchasing decisions. Council has asked city staff to investigate the options for implementing a social public procurement policy to guide council when it comes to spending tax dollars. Such a policy would ensure that the city’s economic, environmental, workforce and social development goals are taken into account when determining the best value for public funds. The initiative was brought for ward to council by Coun. Colleen Evans who attended a special session on social procurement and economic development during the Union of BC Municipalities convention in September. Evans said it’s essential

that the city achieve the maximum value for each dollar it spends. “Social public procurement is intended to complement our existing procurement policies and processes by leveraging our purchasing to also achieve added impact and value,” Evans said. “It seeks to further leverage tax dollars by aligning our procurement practices with our city’s strategic priorities to advance positive economic, environmental, workforce and social development outcomes.” Evans said the goal of social procurement – the purchasing of goods and services – is to ensure that purchasing decisions include “a commitment to purchasing the best services and products at the most competitive prices and a commitment to leverage limited public resources to achieve strategic citybuilding outcomes.” Evans said that is achieved by first creating awareness among city council and city staff of how purchasing practises can positively impact the city’s economic, environmental and social health. To that end, council, at its Dec. 14 meeting, asked staff to come back

with a report identifying how council can develop a social procurement process to add value to and complement the city’s existing bidding process. Evans said the report will also identify steps and recommendations to allow council to be more strategic and proactive in its procurement and, provide recommendations on how to leverage procurement to “build a stronger economy, increase diversity among suppliers and improve access for micro, small business and social enterprises to achieve broader goals.”

REMFERT, Keith Vincent
Keith V. Remfert, 71, of Quadra Island, BC passed away December 20, 2015 of natural causes. He is survived by his wife Estella “Mae”; his children Taunya and husband Kevin; son Keith and wife Kate; son Jeffery and wife Catherine; daughter Allison and partner Ken. In additional to six grandchildren, Keith leaves brothers Ken and Jim Remfert; sisters Bonnie Shelton and Betty and husband Bill Noble. Keith was born March 31, 1944 in Denver, Colorado, spending his early years on the family farm in Hebron, North Dakota. There remains numerous aunts, uncles and cousins that will truly miss Keith and his quick witted personality. Moving with the family to the Bitterroot Valley of western Montana in 1953; Keith lived in Hamilton, Grantsdale, and Darby. Keith graduated from Darby High School and attended Montana State University in Bozeman. Keith and Estella married in 1961. They left Bozeman and moved to Eagle Mountain, California where he was employed in the mining industry. Returning to Hamilton, Montana in the early 70s, Keith worked in real estate and owned a restaurant before starting back with the mining industry in Illinois. Another move in 1980 found Keith and family settling in Vancouver, BC, working for Wright Engineering. Retirement brought Keith and Estella to full-time living on Quadra Island property concentrating on new friends and island living. Ultimately, a full-time commitment to helping build Quadra Links Golf Course resulted in a world class facility and great connections with fellow workers and community, especially the “Table of Knowledge Guys”. Keith’s spirit, work ethic, knowledge, unique personality, and love of family will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him! A memorial service is planned for a later date. In lieu of flowers, in memoriam donations to the Quadra Links Youth Golf Program or the Animal Shelter on Quadra Island would be appreciated by the family.

DEATHS
Daryl Leslie Cork
September 1, 1948 - December 12, 2015
Family and friends are saddened by the sudden passing of Daryl. He will be remembered as a giving and loving man, always eager to help a friend or show one of his grandkids how to fish or run a machine. He was happiest on a boat or working on a project, with his to-do list in hand. He has been lucky to have many great adventures around the world but he returned, as always, to Campbell River where he always felt most at home. A celebration of Daryl’s life will take place January 30th, further details to follow.

increasingly advanced technologies. Indeed, the success of modern civilization has been built upon the foundations of agriculture. But this complimentary assessment of agriculture is made only from a human perspective. Considering Earth’s ecologies, agriculture has been a disaster. About 40 percent of the land on the planet is now adapted or engineered for agricultural purposes, a process that has displaced species, decimated forests, depleted soils, dammed rivers, drained aquifers, poi-

OF GREEN Ray Grigg
Part 1 of 2 Humanity is ver y proud of its agriculture, an invention about 10,000 years ago that moved us from being lowly hunter-gatherers to sophisticated farmers. With agriculture came changes to our human condition that scholars have described as revolutionary. A supply of food from fixed locations meant we could build villages and towns, then expand them into cities, states and even empires. Such huge improvements allowed us to evolve complex cultures with

sonal production. This industrialization has distanced us from our spiritual fellowship with other creatures and from the authenticity of food itself. Agriculture has made nature abstract and alien, placing our awareness in an ethical void of disconnection. The processed “product” supplied to us in the sterile boxes and bags of supermarkets is far removed from the intimate connection to the meat, fish, berries and roots we once knew as hunter-gatherers. The result is our separation from nature and the
grounded intimacy that sustained us for so long. And all this has occurred in the last few moments of human history. Compared to the 2,500,000 years we survived as hominids, the distance we have travelled with agriculture has been phenomenal. And now technology has accelerated the speed. Just a few hundred years ago the advances in farming were so slow that we could anticipate for generations the agriculture we would be practicing. Once upon a time, before agriculture, we
lived in a timeless present, in a kind of biblical Eden. It had the semblance of stillness in its slow passing. We existed in a balanced and sustainable relationship with the surroundings that contained us. We cooperated and survived as members of a complex and moving system that continually renewed itself. We belonged. Humanity was part of a whole, rhythmically birthing and dying together with our fellow creatures as part of a grand design that must have seemed eternal. Next week, Part 2 of 2.
