Sheringham Point Lighthouse Preservation Society Page 4 The Sheringham Point Lighthouse Preservation Society In 2003, the Government of Canada declared that the historic Sheringham Point Lighthouse was no longer needed to ensure maritime safety in the Juan de Fuca Strait. Advances in technology meant that the Lighthouse could now be discarded — torn down, sold off for other uses or, simply, left to rot and eventually to fall apart. In response, a small group of neighbours gathered to form the Sheringham Point Lighthouse Preservation Society. They were determined that the Lighthouse, which had stood for almost 100 years as a symbol of their community, would not be lost. For the next twelve years, the Society’s volunteers worked extremely hard to fight for the Lighthouse’s protection, doing everything they could to raise awareness about the threat to their community heritage. They rallied their community, local businesses and other groups, lobbied and strategized with all levels of government, raised funds and, eventually, put forward a plan to take on the responsibility to care for and conserve the Lighthouse themselves. In 2015, the Society’s efforts were successful. The government agreed to transfer the property to the Society and also, at the same time, they officially designated Sheringham Point Lighthouse a “Canadian Heritage Lighthouse”. As the new owners and stewards, the Society worked for the next seven years to restore the Lighthouse to its former glory, and to make sure it will always be accessible for the public to enjoy and appreciate. The Lighthouse is now protected and is open to the public as a community heritage park.
Sheringham Point Lighthouse Preservation Society Page 5 Children today have a greater range of opportunities open to them than at any time in recent history, and greater freedoms than ever before. Thriving in this chaotic environment requires an ability for all children to be able to find a strong foundation from which they can build their lives, achieve their full potential and realize their dreams. For most of us, that foundation starts with the family, and extends outward into the community. Just as a tree needs deep roots to grow tall and strong, so does a child draw nourishment and vitality from his or her own roots, from the comfort of belonging, from having a place to call home. Understanding and, in particular, experiencing their own connections to the people and places around them is invaluable for children in so many ways. Learning about their own and their community’s history provides a base from which they can explore their world and help them answer that most fundamental of questions: “How did this come to be?” Our history is not just an academic pursuit to be left to historians. It’s not just about dates and far-off locations, nor is it just about great battles, world-shaking events, the comings and goings of kings and queens and presidents. It’s also about the lives of the people who lived here before, their struggles and triumphs, their thoughts and ideas that nurtured their families, built their communities and shaped their world. It’s about the stories our grandfathers told us, and those from our neighbours. We all have stories in our lives and they are, in their way, as full of drama and intrigue as any of the great sagas of our history classes. It is our stories that shape us, that make us who we are. Our history – our heritage – is best lived and experienced, understood through the things we can see and touch and feel, and passed on in a way that warms our hearts and feeds our imaginations. It’s why we need to work hard to conserve, appreciate and celebrate our heritage — not just the castles and stately mansions, but the cottages and the old lighthouses as well. Those remnants of our past have stories to tell. “Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.” ~ Albert Einstein Exploring the Lighthouse Saseenos Elementary Division 2
Sheringham Point Lighthouse Preservation Society Page 6 ...The Program To help children in the local area strengthen their connections to their own community, we wanted to provide an opportunity for them to visit Sheringham Point Lighthouse, to learn about its history and operations, to appreciate its significance and understand why it is being conserved. It was also our hope to inspire them – and, through them, their families and friends – to take a personal interest in further exploring their community and helping to protect and celebrate their heritage and the future of the Lighthouse. We developed this short program, called “Exploring the Lighthouse”. This program has several parts: 1. History and Operations – we provide a short presentation outlining the history of the Lighthouse, and also talk about how lighthouses work and their role in maritime safety and community development. 2. Visit to the Lighthouse – the students visit the Lighthouse to see firsthand what it’s all about, and to experience its remarkable character and ambience. 3. Reflections – we ask the students to creatively express their impressions of the Lighthouse site by: • Taking photographs while they are at the site, focusing on the features that capture their attention/imagination. • Writing a story (either fictional or non-fiction) about a Lighthouse. 4. Commemorative Book - we compile the students’ photographs and stories into this commemorative book, which is being provided online to all the children, their families and the whole community. Exploring the Lighthouse It is the Society’s hope that we will be able to find the ongoing resources to make this project an annual event, and to make it available to all the elementary schools in the local area, with the result being that all children growing up in this part of the world will have the opportunity – through their visit to the lighthouse – to better understand and appreciate the community they call home. Focused in on the visit to the Lighthouse
Sheringham Point Lighthouse Preservation Society Page 7 A Brief History of the Lighthouse... Sheringham Point Lighthouse was built in 1912, and illuminated for the first time on September 30 of that year. The Lighthouse was built in response to the tragic wreck of the steamship SS Valencia, on January 22, 1906. En route from San Francisco to Victoria and Seattle, late at night and in rough weather, the Valencia missed the turn into the Strait of Juan de Fuca and steamed directly on to the rocks near Pachena Point. Of the 173 people aboard, 136 were lost. Creation of the Lighthouse began in 1911, with the purchase of 4 acres of land from Shirley resident Edwin Clark. The following year, the lighthouse tower was built, along with a small boathouse and a house for the lighkeeper and his family. The first lightkeeper, Eustace Arden, arrived in September 1912, and continued at the site until 1946. The light itself was a 3rd Order Fresnel Lens. Originally lit by oil lamps (and later by electric lamps), it was made up of many prisms which focused the light into a powerful beam that could be seen up to 25 km away. The lens Exploring the Lighthouse Under construction - 1912 Newly completed - ca 1912
Sheringham Point Lighthouse Preservation Society Page 8 rotated through a clockwork mechanism of pulleys and weights – each about180 kg – that had to be re-wound every three hours. Because of the size and weight of the lens, it was seated in a bed of liquid mercury, to allow it to turn without much friction. In 1925, a fog-alarm building was added to the site, and a new “diaphone” (two-tone) fog-horn was installed. Originally a wooden, peaked-roof building, constructed in front of the tower, this building was replaced in 1976 with the concrete block building that is still on site. The diesel engines that provided power for the site were also located in this building. A number of other structures were added to the site over the years, including radio towers and sheds, a fallout shelter (that was actually never used as such, but came to be used to grow mushrooms instead), other utility buildings and, in 1964, a new, more modern house for the Lightkeeper. During the 1980s, the Lighthouse was automated and it was finally destaffed in 1989 when the last lightkeeper left. Except for the tower and the engine room (fog-alarm building), all the other structures on site were taken down, or deliberately burned, to avoid vandalism. Left largely unattended for the next thirty years, the Lighthouse began to deteriorate and was in danger of being lost forever. Then, after many years of lobbying by the local community, in 2015, it was transferred to the Sheringham Point Lighthouse Preservation Society. It has now been restored to its former glory, and is open to the public as a community heritage park. ...A Brief History of the Lighthouse Exploring the Lighthouse Following construction of the fog alarm building - ca 1926 Following construction of the boat house - 1912
Sheringham Point Lighthouse Preservation Society Page 9 Exploring the Lighthouse “The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.” ~ Dorothea Lange, Photographer Reflecting what you see... Photography is a powerful tool for exploring the world around us. It causes us to focus more intently on what we are looking at, to look more closely, pay attention to the details, and take nothing for granted. It creates an intimate connection with the subject and with the environment that surrounds it. While it’s a very personal process, the end result is universal. To appreciate a photograph requires no ability to read, no language in common, no prerequisite level of education or life experience. Just an ability to see and to feel, and a willingness to participate. For this part of the program, we provided each student with a cell phone camera and some basic instruction in its use, as well as a brief overview of the art of photography. Then we asked them to take photographs while they were at the lighthouse, focusing on the things that caught their attention and/or their imagination. When we returned to the school later, each student chose his or her favourite photo, and explained why they chose it. There were lots of amazing photographs – creative and insightful! The following pages showcase their chosen photographs. Enjoy! “Photography represents the world we know, and suggests a world beyond what we can see. Creativity is the gap between perception and knowledge.” ~ Emmet Gowin, Photographer
Sheringham Point Lighthouse Preservation Society Page 10 Exploring the Lighthouse “Tell me the facts and I’ll learn. Tell me the truth and I’ll believe. But tell me a story and it will live in my heart forever.” ~ An old First Nations proverb “If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten.” ~ Rudyard Kipling, Author Telling your stories... Story-telling has always formed the underlying basis of human communication. Our stories are the ways that we connect ourselves to one another and to our communities. They help define who we are and where come from. Children naturally understand the power of story-telling, and we wanted to provide them with tools and strategies to explore and expand their own story-telling abilities, to share their own stories and to learn from others. Author Kathleen Arnason spoke to the students about the basic elements of creative writing, focusing on getting the children to explore their own feelings and values and to think about what is important and has meaning for them. Each student was asked to write a story (factual or fictional) about a lighthouse, incorporating what they had learned and what they had seen throughout the day. The following pages contain the results of that work, and they speak for themselves. Kathleen talks about the importance of storytelling and creativity. Ian tells the story about how the Lighthouse was built.

Sheringham Point Lighthouse Preservation Society Page 13 Alice’s Pages (continued) SHERINGHAM LIGHTHOUSE by Alice This is the story of why Sheringham Lighthouse was built. The coast of Vancouver Island saw too many shipwrecks, over 240 wrecks. The coastline became known as the Graveyard of the Pacific. Late at night on January 22, 1906 the SS Valencia crashed! Out of 173 people, only 36 survived. In response, the Canadian government ordered 12 more lighthouses to be built in the area. Sheringham Lighthouse was designed by William P. Anderson. That’s the story why Sheringham Lighthouse was built. If you ever visit, look out for the ghost!

They are looking at the ocean. There is a dolphin in the ocean. Raspberry Torte and Orange Blossom are stuck in a boat on the ocean. There is a rabbit with them. Strawberry Shortcake and Lemon Meringue see Raspberry Torte and Orange Blossom in trouble. They spin the light on the lighthouse so that the boat knows where to go. Raspberry Torte and Orange Blossom see the light and come back.

This guy gave us phones to take pictures on them and then we gave our phones back to the guy. Then we were listening to this girl who was showing us how to write a story. And then she told us how to write a story. We had lunch but then we went on the school bus and went back to school. And then they came to our class and we were choosing our favorite picture and edited it. The Sheringham Lighthouse story is done. The end.

A guy was there named Ian. He gave both classes sort of small phones, and really trusted us with those small phones, even over the cliffs. We took lots of photos, then Kathleen talked to us about writing about the photos that we took. Then we walked up to where the bus dropped us off. But the bus was not there, so we walked up to the parking lot. But the bus was not there either. So we waited 30 minutes. It turns out there was another way to where the bus dropped us off. Then the bus came around and picked the classes up and we went back to school!

Sheringham Point Lighthouse Preservation Society Page 27 Emma’s Pages (continued) THE LIGHTHOUSE by Emma I see the ocean with a boat, with a sky in clouds, and I saw crabs and dolphins. I saw some bunnies and I saw some forests and I also found some raccoons from a garbage. Two or five raccoons. In the lighthouse were footsteps. There were so many stairs, I couldn’t climb up. I saw this little house that was on, like, a beautiful circle gem thing and it had a shiny rainbow on it. It was the lighthouse light. And I saw the lighthouse. It was huge and I saw it was big, it was so huge, and it had windows. I was hanging out with my friends and I had so much fun today. We all play together.

Sheringham Point Lighthouse Preservation Society Page 29 Hazel’s Pages (continued) THE LIGHTHOUSE by Hazel A couple of months ago, our class went to a lighthouse called Sheringham Lighthouse. In the morning, the school was waiting for the bell to ring. All the classes that were going on the field trip were SO excited. The bell rang and all the kids ran inside. All the kids from our class slowly came in and put their backpacks down in the coat room. We did our normal morning stuff. Mrs. Haddad told us the rules and then we headed to Mr. Meiklejohn’s class to learn more rules and to meet the people. Then the bus came and we lined up and walked to the bus. We got in and sat down. We drove to the lighthouse and walked up to a man that we met in Mr. Meiklejohn’s class. He had a box full of phones with numbers on them. He gave us phones to use and we took pictures with them. After we took pictures we met a lady who wrote books. She gave us some tips and we ate our lunch. She told us to write a story about the lighthouse. That’s why I am writing this. We got back to school and chose a photo we took, and I’m making a story about it. That was my experience at the lighthouse.

We got little phones, but we were only allowed to take photos with them. But there were many other apps. It was beautiful there. I took photos of me and my friends, and the landscape. When we went back to the school there was about 20 more minutes left of school. The people who let us have a field trip at the lighthouse came to our school.

Nobody dared to come in because there were Evil Ghost tacos with legs! They would chase people around and scare them. But one day someone came in because he didn’t believe in ghosts. Ghost tacos were chasing him everywhere so he ran out of the lighthouse and never came in again. The end

Sheringham Point Lighthouse Preservation Society Page 39 THE GREAT CRASH by Jaxon Jaxon’s Pages (continued) At school today, the teacher said that we are going on a field trip to the lighthouse. “Yay!” said the class. “We are heading on the bus in five minutes so get your backpack, or you can just bring your lunch. I don’t care.” “Ok,” said Milo. “The bus is here” said Mr. Timmy, “line up class.” “Ok,” said Beau. “Can I sit with Milo on the bus?” said Jaxon. “Please.” “Sure,” said Mr. Timmy. “Yes,” said Milo. “Get on the bus.” “Ok,” said the class. “We will be there in 45 minutes.” “Ok,” said the class. 45 minutes later, we are here. “Yay!” Mr. Timmy said, “Later we will all get cameras.” “Yes,” said Beau. “Everyone go get your snack.” “Ok,” said Milo. “Once you’re done your snack you can grab a camera.” “Ok,” said the class. “It’s time for all of us to get cameras. Snack is over. You can go take pictures.” “Ok,” said the class. Ring, ring… “Oh? My phone is ringing,” said Mr. Timmy. “Hello?” A voice on the phone said, “Get away from the lighthouse!” “Why?” asked Mr. Timmy. “Because my boat will not turn!” “WHAT DO YOU MEAN?” “I am GOING TO CRASH!” Mr. Timmy yells “Everybody get away from the lighthouse!” “WHY?” said Beau. “Because the boat is going to crash into the lighthouse.” “AHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Run! Ahhhhhhhh!” CRASH! OH MY GOD! “Are you all ok,” Mr. Timmy asked. “Yes,” said the class. On the news after the crash they said that 250 people died that night. The end.

But little Timmy is not normal, and little Timmy climbs up the lighthouse ladder, and little Timmy decides to climb on the railing at the top of the lighthouse! Then little Timmy falls off the top of the railing into the water. His parents see him fall and try to catch him. Then Dad jumps in the water and tries to save little Timmy because little Timmy cannot swim. His mom runs to the end of the cliff and is shaking! His Dad finally grabs him and swims back to shore! They get back home and decide to celebrate. Little Timmy says “Do we have to go back there?” And everyone says “No.” “Let’s go to a different lighthouse” suggests his sister. Little Timmy says “No, I’m scared of lighthouses!” His sister laughs “You’re scared of a little lighthouse?” Little Timmy says “Yes! Can we go to the park?” “Yes” his parents say. His sister jumps to the front seat and says “We’re going to the lighthouse!” Which distracted his parents and they drive to the lighthouse! They arrive at the Lighthouse and Little Timmy says “Where are we? This is not the park.” Little Timmy says “What the…? This is not the park. Take me home now or take me to the park!” His parents say “no this is a great place to stay on our vacation!” Little Timmy says “what the heck is going on? I never agreed with this. Only my sister did. She’s so annoying though! She’s so mean, she doesn’t care about anyone else but herself! But you Mommy, you Daddy are amazing!” Little Timmy says “Okay, I guess we can stay here, but this time I’m not going to climb the ladder and fall off!” Little Timmy’s parents say “Better not, because if you do you’re grounded.” The end.
