Ofcials in District 69 are eager to nd a cou-gar that has been seen numerous times in the daylight.

Its becoming too comfortable with people, said conservation ofcer Jeff Tyre on site at the Cedar Grove campground on the Little Quali-cum River Friday morning after a camper got a picture of it around 7:30 a.m.

It followed a youth along a trail in the dark last night, he said and it has been seen numer-ous times across the northwest end of town over the past week.

While there havent been any attacks on hu-mans or even pets or domestic animals report-

ed yet, they are w o r r i e d e n o u g h

that they brought in a dog team to search for it.The dogs were unsuccessful due to the warm

temperature obscuring the scent and the two or three hours between the sighting and getting the dogs on scene.

Tyre said he believes it is a single cougar since only one at a time has been seen and the sightings are all close together compared to the size of cougar territories that can cover as much as 1,000 sq.km.

Humans are not natural prey for cougars, theyre looking for things on four legs, Tyre said. He urges people to call them right away with as exact a location and direction of travel as possible.

Report sightings to 1-877-952-RAPP (7277).

LONDON Michelle Stilwell of Parksville, on Saturday won Canadas second track and eld and Canadas eighth medal overall at the London 2012 Paralympic Games. Stilwell won gold in the womens T52 classication 200-metres in a new Paralympic Games record time of 33.80 seconds.

From the beginning the crowd had a roar and the roar kept going, Im so happy right now, Ive put everything into this for the last four years, said Stilwell. My whole family is here and I couldnt be happier to share this with them.

After hearing requests and apparent sup-port for allowing backyard chickens, Parksville council will consider a bylaw at Wednesdays committee of the whole meeting.

Sparked by a letter from Holly Tillotson ask-ing council to allow people to keep a small number of egg laying hens within the city, council heard from eight members of the gallery on the issue at their May 23, 2012 meeting at Ballenas Second-ary.

Of the eight who spoke the closest to oppo-sition they heard was one person who said he supported the idea, but the city had to do their research and make sure they plan for the nega-tive aspects including noise, smell, predators and irresponsible animal owners.

Lana Harach with the local 4H poultry club spoke at that meeting, touting the benets in-

cluding getting eggs much fresher than the av-erage 30 day old commercial eggs, cutting down on waste and environmental impact and pro-viding youth with a chance to learn about gar-dening, animals, self reliance and food security.

On Wednesday, September 5, council will consider asking staff to prepare a bylaw allow-ing four egg laying hens.

The staff report says that based on other jurisdic-tions, they anticipate ve to ten additional complaints

per year, which would cost the city $1,000 to $2,000 or an equivalent reduction in other com-plaint services.

The only other cost to the city would be an estimated $1,000 for education materials and a coop registry.

Tillotson invites everyone to join the Backyard Chickens In Parksville Facebook page at www.facebook.com/groups/263651297002346/.

BRENDA GOUGHNews Contributor

September 22 is the last day of summer and with shorter days on the horizon as well as our famous liquid sunshine, Parksvilles Resort Drive has put together a big street party to keep the summer fun going a little longer.

Party on the Drive will bring art, music and nature together on Sunday, September 9 from 1 to 5 p.m. along Resort Drive no matter what the weather brings.

The new collaboration of the resorts along the drive was formed to create a festival in Parksville that everyone in the community can enjoy.

It has been a busy summer for Ocean Trails Resort, Oceanside Village Resort, Beach Acres Resort, Tigh-Na-Mara Seaside Spa Resort and Conference Centre, Sunrise Ridge Resort, Ma-drona Beach Resort and Ocean Sands Resort and Sundays party is not only a celebration of the beautiful location but everything else that makes the area such as great tourist destination.

Robynne Shaw, general manager of Sunrise Ridge Resort said their goal is to offer a fun, fam-ily and free event for locals and visitors alike.

Basically, we just want to have some fun on the drive and share our community with every-one.

She added they have beautiful sites that front Resort Drive and while summer is a very busy time, the events they will offer are intended to build out the existing season.

Events planner Carrie Powell-Davidson has been working for months on the big bash and has gathered a wide array of artists, musicians and food vendors for the event. The goal of the event is to bring Oceanside artists and musi-cians together. To that end, photographers, painters and other artists who reect life in Oceanside through their artwork will be on lo-cation.

There will be various stages throughout the area that will see local musicians from a variety of genres including jazz, folk, rock and ambient music.

Local ensemble Kumbana Marimba is one of the acts that are sure to get the party started. Also in the musical line-up are The Jagsters, a fresh distinctively diverse, R&B style band with soulful vocals.

The Hermits Music made up of Dave Kilbank and Paul Bezooyen will draw on over three de-cades of writing, recording and performing.

Canadian recording artist Dave Marco who is the lead singer for the Island band Big Twang Theory is an act you dont want to miss.

For those who want some down time Holly Carnegie Letcher is creating one of her unique labyrinths. Attendees will be able to walk the labyrinth while listening to the mystical sounds of Peter Jack Rainbird.

The artisans that will be on site include Err-ington pastellist Dan Gray, known for his dedi-cation to plein air and his depictions of wildlife.

Artist Roxann Hurtubise, better known as Roxy Wallhanger, will have original photogra-phy, handmade local artisan jewelery, wood work and crystal gems.

Vancouver Island photographer Randy Hall who specializes in nature photography will have his images on display that capture natu-ral settings such as seascapes and forest land-scapes as well as the plants and animals that inhabit these parts.

Local blacksmith artists Dave and Tamaki Friesen of Crossed Heart Forge will be bringing their portable forge and creating some orna-mental ironwork.

Other artisans include Nanoose Bays Le-anne Helin, Valeri Capewell, Stoneworks Jew-ellery, Wendy Maurer and her Beads of Joy, Ds Aboriginal Art and Gifts photographers Alan Cornall and Craig Carmichael.

To round out the offerings, food vendors will be located at various resorts providing tasty treats for purchase and it is not just the resorts famous chefs who will be cooking up a storm.

Be sure to bring your appetite and grab a curb on the drive because the ever popular food trucks will be serving some amazing cuisine.

The Lighthouse Com-munity Centre was hoppin with so much activity on Saturday it was hard to decide

which direction to turn.Live entertainment kicked off

early at the 42nd annual Light-house Country Fall Fair, and carried on throughout the day in all corners of the grounds.

Orkestar Slivovika, a Balkan gypsy/Klezmer band from Van-couver, marched to the beat of their drums throughout the fair while tooting their many brass instruments.

Great acts entertained on the main stage, including the popu-lar Rainbow Stew Cloggers and young ddler Joy Morgan, who told the crowd, this next song is a bit slower, but its still a good song.

Local guitar player and singer Peter Mason entertained in the Arts and Crafts building, while inside the community hall Jessi-ca Wittman lead an enthusiastic Zumba Fitness routine.

And that was all before noon.Kids kept busy drawing on

the chalk wall, taking free mu-sic lessons from Gerry Barnum, and cruising around onTiger Lily Farms pony rides.

There were also bouncy cas-tles, hamster ball races, face painting and Island Farms Dai-sy the Cow sessions, among oth-er activities.

The British Car Show attract-ed many of the males to their corner of the fair, while ladies could be seen perusing the open air market for hand craft-ed items.

Inside the community hall there was no shortage of peo-ples fair entries as tables were lined with everything from baking and quirky creations to paintings and afghans.

The Parksville A&W held another hugely successful annual MS Cruisin for a Cause Day on August 23.

Everybody at A&W really goes above and beyond and we really want to give them a huge thank you, said Kathy Wilson, local MS sufferer

and fundraiser.The Parksville location

raised $5,671, surpassing their $5,000 goal and proud-ly contributing to the $1.25 million raised nationally.

Organizers were con-dent about surpassing their goal having raised almost $4,000 fundraising through-out the year leading up to

the big day when $1 from every teen burger or double teen burger went to the MS Society.

Staff were also spurred on by the promise that the man-agers husband John Young would shave his moustache for the rst time in more than 25 years if they met their goal - which he did.

Asked if he looked like he enjoyed it Wilson hesitated, well he was a really good sport about it.

All funds go to the MS Society and local staff are al-ready working towards next years big event. Visit www.mssociety.ca, call 1-800-268-7582, or visit the local restau-rant to make a donation.

Cruisin for a Cause raises another $5,000


The Regional District of Nanaimo and local munici-palities are looking to install 12 level two electric vehicle charging stations through-out the region by next spring.

The RDN received a pro-vincial planning grant from the Community Charging Infrastructure Fund and Fra-ser Basin Council to identify locations for two stations each in Parksville and Qual-icum Beach and one each in Lantzville and the seven electoral areas.

Chris Midgley, RDN man-ager of energy and sustain-ability, explained they are working on a long list of possible locations and will start to evaluate and whittle down the list next week.

The long list includes a wide variety of publicly ac-cessible locations where people are likely to stay for an hour or more from RDN facilities like Oceanside Place and Ravensong Aquat-ic Centre to municipal facil-ities, parks and commercial and retail locations, espe-cially those with a tourism and/or economic develop-ment aspects.

We recognize we are a transportation hub with the ferries and highways up is-land and to the west coast, he said, so they would like to make it convenient for tour-ists and travelers passing through in electric vehicles.

They are looking for high-ly visible locations and in-tend this as the start of an extensive network for the seemingly inevitable in-crease in electric vehicles.

The level two charging stations are 240 volt, me-dium speed chargers that take three to eight hours to charge highway-worthy electric vehicles like the Nis-san Leaf and Toyota Prius.

Midgley adds that some of the local partners may

develop the level two sta-tions in coordination with plug-ins for NZEVs (neigh-bourhood zero emission ve-hicles) like golf carts, scoot-ers and the slower vehicles allowed on Qualicum Beach streets.

Midgley praised Qual-icum Beach as a regional leader with electric vehicles and mayor Teunis West-broek said in a news release he likes the regional plan-ning approach.

By working together we can create a useable network of charging stations and ex-pand the options for electric vehicle linkages up the east side of Vancouver Island and west to the coast, he said.

While the RDN is cur-rently looking to establish 12 stations, Midgley points out that there's nothing stop-ping other organizations or businesses from applying for funding and establishing others.

The City of Nanaimo also earned a similar, separate grant for 12 locations within city limits.

We recognize there is a transformation coming, and more and more elec-tric vehicles will be on the road, said RDN chair Joe Stanhope.

As a transportation hub and tourism destination, the RDN and our municipal

partners are staying ahead of this transition by planning for 24 new Level II charging stations in the Region.

Parksville mayor Chris Burger highlighted that "the preservation of the natu-ral, pristine environment in which we live will only be enhanced by providing the infrastructure to support this and future green tech-nologies.

The Voice of Business, produced by the Parksville and District Chamber of Commerce, featured articles by their summer student employees. This is the nal feature arti-cle by our summer student employees. This week Michael Rowswell writes about the Deep Bay Field Station.

As you drive down the winding oyster shell road and approach Vancouver Island Universitys Deep Bay Marine Field Station, you cant help but be struck by the uniqueness of the building and the stun-ning views it provides. Since its completion in 2011, the

Station has been home to the VIUs effort to sustain the shell-sh population off Vancouver Islands coast; while at the same time, doubling as a wonderful educational resource for stu-dents and the public alike.

Before you enter the Field Station, the rst thing you will notice is the distinctive shape of the building. Built to mim-ic the shape of a shellsh, the building not only has a unique design, but is among the green-

est buildings in Canada. VIUs efforts to produce a green building were successful when the Field Station was awarded Platinum LEED (Leadership in Energy and En-vironmental Design) certication.

Although the primary goal of the Station is research, the Station serves as an excellent tourist attraction for people of all interests.

Those who are interested in the coastal ecosystem can view the aquarium found in the foyer and can head downstairs to use one of the touch tanks featuring ani-

mals such as sea cucumbers, shellsh and sea stars. The Station is always increasing its collection of

ocean themed artwork. For those who really want to ex-perience the sea, the Station offers guided group tours of the sights around Baynes Sound on one of their research boats.

While the Station is used for educational and research purposes much of the time, it can be rented out for pri-vate events. The Field Station is equipped with a patio setting, full audio visual, a full kitchen for catering and stunning views. This makes the Station an excellent lo-

cation for weddings, conferences and workshops. This summer, the Station has played host to public

events, including Music bythe Bay, which was three eve-nings of music that took place over the course of August.

The Field Station will remain open to the public for the winter and admission is by donation, with the rec-ommended being $5.

The Station is constantly adding new exhibits and artwork so be sure to come down and experience all the Station has to offer.

I was as surprised as anyone to hear about the plan by this news-papers owner, David Black, to begin regulatory work on an oil re-nery for Kitimat.

Ill leave it to others to comment on the practicality of that plan, and whether it would make the pro-posed Northern Gateway pipeline project more acceptable to B.C.s government and population. Black Press news coverage, columns, let-ters to the editor and other reader comments are not affected by this project, and there has been a range of views expressed.

Whatever the merits of the renery idea, it has advanced the debate over pipelines and the place of oil in our society. And thats a good thing, because as someone with a basic knowl-edge of chemistry and some experience in oil rening, I have noticed a lot of ignorance about the subject.

Id like to address some of the main miscon-ceptions. The rst one is oil pollution in general and how it gets into the environment.

A global study by the Smithsonian Institution in 1995 calculated the amount of oil making its way into oceans this way: Big tanker spills ac-counted for 37 million gallons a year, about ve per cent of the total marine oil pollution identi-ed. By far the largest source was oil runoff from land into drains, from oil changes, municipal and industrial wastes and other sources: 363 million gallons. Bilge cleaning and other rou-tine ship maintenance added 137 million gal-lons, four times the tanker spill average.

Air pollution from vehicles and industry de-posited hydrocarbon particles equal to anoth-er 97 million gallons; natural seeps added 62 million gallons; offshore drilling discharges ac-counted for 15 million gallons.

Then there is the propaganda about green-

house gas emissions from the oil sands crude. Actor Robert Redford is one of the highest-prole pitch-men for the false notion that tar sands oil generates three times the greenhouse gases as conven-tional oil.

The most widely cited source is a graph prepared by Cambridge Energy Research Associates, which shows that 75 per cent of greenhouse gases from all types of crude occur when the gasoline, jet

fuel and diesel are burned by the end user.Yes, there are variations in emissions on the

remaining quarter. Emissions from mined oil sands crude are higher than steam extraction, which is higher than conventionally drilled and pumped crude. The most greenhouse gas-in-tensive crude used in North America is Califor-nia heavy crude, conventionally drilled.

Burning coal produces far more greenhouse gases than oil, as University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver has calculated.

Two U.S. environmental groups have lately been promoting a study that suggests oil sands crude is more corrosive to pipelines. False, says the industry, showing analysis of pipes that have carried diluted bitumen for decades.

The Trans-Mountain pipeline has been car-rying crude from Alberta to Burnaby and Wash-ington state for more than 60 years. It has pe-riodically carried heavy crude for 40 years, and diluted bitumen for 25 years.

Some of that crude is rened in Washington and the gasoline and diesel barged up to supply B.C. gas stations. Vancouver Island, Haida Gwaii and all other B.C. islands depend on marine fuel shipments. And lets not forget the most com-mon heavy oil used in B.C. Its called asphalt.

A rain garden will be going in at Parksville Elementary School, thanks to approv-al from the school board last Tuesday, to supply the funds.

Principal May Beil made a presentation to the board say-ing the school wants to put in the garden but has yet to se-cure the funds.

The time is critical, she said, really the time to do this is now.

With the school year just starting up, the school has yet

to secure grants and volunteers to help them with the garden, she explained, but if they wait much longer the rains will be-gin to fall and make it difcult to proceed.

A rain gardens purpose is to absorb run-off from the parking lot, which contains oil, gas and other pollutants, that normally run straight into the storm sewers and enter the groundwater system.

So it really does two things: it lters out pollutants but it also is better for groundwater, she explained.

Trustee Eve Flynn said the parking lot was recently re-paved, allowing them to grade it slightly so that water from a portion of the lot would run into the garden.

The total cost for the rain garden would be $9,745, but this is worse case scenario Beil said, adding she was con-dent they would be able to raise money and get support.

The trustees voted to sup-ply the money for the garden, not to exceed $10,000, with the understanding that it will be reimbursed.

commentary

BC. Premier Christy Clark has a tough rebuilding job ahead of her, if she hopes her Liberal party is going to hang on to power in the next pro-vincial election.

A lot tougher than dealing with penny-ante complaints over women-only meet-ings.

There have been 13 political retirements, depar-tures, and defections from the BC Liberals in recent months, with a lot of high-prole MLAs announc-ing their retirement from politics this week alone.

The worst-timed departure has to be Kevin Fal-con, who was Clarks nance minister at the time. He leaves just before the Liberals were expected to announce their election budget in February. If a nance minister bolts in the way Falcon did, it raises questions about whether the contents of that budget would have caused more troubles for the party or represented a direction the the min-ister doesnt like.

Even if that doesnt enter into the matter, Fal-cons departure, as well as the others, comes right before Clarks planned cabinet shufe. Perhaps a few people sensed their time was up. Maybe its Ron Cantelons time to shine.

All parties go through turnover. People do retire after long careers in politics. The sheer number of Liberals riding off into the sunset, however, is un-usual and it opens doors for the BC Conservatives and New Democrats in those vacated ridings.

If nothing else, the departures and new open-ings in the provincial election in May could give voters pause. Theres nothing like a few sinking ship comments to throw a little doubt about the ruling partys chances of survival.

Already, the NDP won two seats that had been held by Liberals who left the fold. Not a good sign for Clark.

If Clark has the campaigning chops so many pundits says she has, she is going to need them come the spring.

TREES ARE GREATTrees are great. Trees provide bird and bug

habitat and can extract a ton of water per day from wet ground. Trees are esthetically pleasing. Trees help to limit climate change. You can hang hammocks from them.

But they can fall and destroy your house, your car or worse, your neighbours house or car! They can down power lines, block the sun from your vegetable garden and their roots can reek havoc with your water pipes, foundation and driveway.

Also, there is fall leaf cleanup, pruning and pollen allergens to consider.

But wait, now theres more. If you saw one down its gonna cost ya! $10,000 each tree! Even if you bought the sapling tree and paid taxes and paid a guy to plant it.

And now the permit to cut down your tree will cost you not $50 but $75. And appar-ently this doesnt cover the cost of salaried employees to ll in a form and then maybe enter the info into the citys computer.

But if you register yourself as a construc-tion company the bylaw wont affect you.

What I would like to see is a bylaw that prevents a neighbour from planting a spe-cies of tree that will render my land useless for crops, that will shade out my sundeck, that will drop its leaves and branches in my yard and require me to not only prune it but be stuck with the branches which I will have to pay to remove because our green bins are too darn small.

Furthermore, what about absentee or negligent homeowners who let trees propa-gate spontaneously in our temperate rain forest climate without a thought to their

eventual skyscraper height.Yes, I love trees, Ive even hugged a few

and planted thousands. I have also logged selectively with a team of draft horses.

I wonder if the Queen knows what the City of Parksville is up to in this regard?

GORD BYERSParksville

SUCH DRIVELRe: Report on trafc network by R. F. Bin-

nie and Associates.I note that four recommendations were

presented to council as priority items, one of which, the closing of Railway Street at Me-morial, council immediately rejected.

I note that the next recommendation on the list is the reinstallation of the 50 km/h speed limit on Memorial. I am at a loss to understand the thinking behind this recom-mendation. After all the work and money spent last year in putting the 40 km/h speed limit in place it seems irrational to consider changing it back at this time. The slowing of trafc on the hill has been imperfect, but is still an improvement over the previous situ-ation.

Until the proposed changes are made on Memorial there does not seem to be any good reason to consider changing back the speed limit. I would have thought that it would be more important to consider pe-destrian safety on Memorial than the grum-bles of a few motorists who like to use it as a speedway. The absence of crosswalks at the intersection of Memorial and Crescent is

particularly worrying, given the only pedes-trian crosswalk is on the eastern side of the intersection. For people who happen to be walking to the water, on the left, facing the trafc, as is the proper way to do it, there is no crosswalk at the intersection.

I note the cost of the Binnie report was partially offset by an Age-Friendly Transpor-tation planning grant (PARKSVILLE QUALICUM BEACH NEWS, Fri., Aug. 17, 2012) and I won-der what the actual cost of this report was. I would feel much happier to think that my tax dollars were being spent in actual com-munity services than in the preparation of such drivel.

NOT THE WILD WESTLast Labour Day weekend, many resi-

dents of San Pareil in Parksville awoke to the scream of chainsaws and watched the de-struction of over 50 beautiful trees.

We remember this sad event that de-stroyed not only the trees but animal/bird habitat, wind/sound barriers, privacy and destabilization of adjoining trees.

Its time for the Regional District of Na-naimo to seriously develop realistic tree and sound bylaws.

It is no longer the wild west. Last years loss would not have happened

in any other community where bylaws exist to protect people and the environment.

DEAL WITH ITIn reference to the Beach Club

letter to city council. I was more than appalled with the arrogance of representatives from the Beach Club. I was at the council meeting where this all took place and the two presenters from the Beach Club on the issue of gaining an outside entertainment endorse-ment appeared very ill prepared.

They certainly did post inten-tions with requests for input in the paper which were restricted to nearby residents and businesses alike, but maybe just forgot to in-clude those of us in other areas of the city who are affected by noise coming up from the beach and across the water as well.

We are all taxpayers and have the right to voice our opinions and concerns and be taken into con-sideration. Dont get me wrong I am all for parties and good times, but only if they are kept inside and under control.

What bothers me the most in this letter sent to mayor and coun-cil is the direct bashing of coun-cillor Carrie Powell-Davidson. She was acting in a democratic way and doing the job she was voted in to do. She has also done a lot to promote your establishment. Do we always get what we want? No. Do we keep belittling those who make the rules No. What is good for us is good for you, so deal with it. Money doesnt buy everything.

ANNE FAIRCLOUGHParksville

NO HUNGRY FACE I enjoyed the big photographic

spread that you afforded the recent visit of Christy Clark to the totally inadequate health centre. She pat-ted the local MLA on his back and gave him the sort of photo op from heaven which he so enjoys.

You were pretty fair in your not quite equal reportage of the empty food bank. Pity Ms Clark was not on hand to shake the hands of the folk lining up for a bag of groceries. Not that they would miss the pho-to op, nor was our local MLA there either.

It is indeed a shame the Van-couver Island Health Authority is lacking the funds it needs to do its job properly. It is also a pity that the VIHA must also ask their cli-ents to spend precious pension food cash on gas to drive over Mount Arrowsmith to Port Alberni hospital in order to participate in a simple ve-minute test that could easily be done here in Parksville.

So where are they spending all their money? Administration? En-hanced pensions? Ms Clarks travel expenses?

I can see how she charms those around her, from the photo you published of her surrounded by the local big wigs. Not a hungry face in the beaming bunch.

NO CONTROLIn response to Lou Barnums

Friday letter about Fewer Dogs, Please.

Last Wednesday my friend and I had our two labs at Little Qualicum Fish Hatchery when we had a run in with another pack of dogs.

The women striding to keep up had some of them on shock collars and none on leashes.

The rst time we had to ward off one of her growling dogs, which eventually was joined by a second loose dog and both were growling and displaying dominant postur-ing toward our dogs.

Both of ours were under control. Ill admit my intact male did growl back but never offered to go after any of them.

I shoved one spaniel thing away and never thought What a stupid thing to do, to touch it because it growled at me when I did.

The women was nowhere near if anything did happen.

On her way back, same thing. Some of the pack broke away and came straight at us with their heads down, stiff tails and growling.

Only this time, they were look-ing for the rest of the herd.

I yelled for them to go home! a few times.

Just because a person does something one way for many years, does not make what they do right!

Put your dammed dogs on a leash!

Grab a brain and grow some common sense before you hurt someone or someones dog, or both.

Robert J. Willis is the proud sponsor of the Adam and Eve Mixed Golf Tournament

at the Qualicum Beach Memorial Golf Club., Saturday, September 8th, 1pm.

Once upon a n o t h e r l i f e t i m e it was my

honour to address the graduating students of a private school. When Id exhausted my repertoire of pi-eties and platitudes the headmaster asked me if there was one piece of advice I could offer that would guar-antee success in what-ever they chose to do.

Sure, I said. I can tell you how a simple, easy, healthy, dirt-cheap alteration in your daily life will guarantee success. I can also guarantee that 99 per cent of you will scoff and reject it the moment you hear it. Still game?

They were.So I gave it to them

in three words: Get. Up. Early.

How early? Crack of dawn early, I told them. Get up ear-ly and work on your dream. Read, paint, sing, sketch, write, knit whatever. Do just an hour or so ear-ly every day.

They groaned and recoiled as if theyd been clubbed with baseball bats.

For once, I knew what I was talking

about. Thirty-ve years

ago, when I was a hus-band, a new father and a holder of a full-time job, it occurred to me that if I ever wanted to be anything more than the above, I needed to nd some extra hours in my day.

It was summer, and I lived in a part of the country where the sun was already up and blazing at 5 in the morning. And so, after a few coughing, spluttering mornings, was I.

Its a grand time to get things done, the early morning. There is nothing on TV, no colleagues to drop by and chat. The rest of the family is asleep, the phone isnt likely to ring and its way too early for Jehovahs Wit-nesses to be knocking at the door. Best of all the mind is fresh, rest-ed and after a jolt of java frisky, even.

So I got up and wrote. Not absolute-ly every day (I took Sundays off and there was the odd morning compromised by u or travel or a hangover that made it too pain-ful). But almost every day and I got more writing done in those

precious one or two hours than I did in the rest of the week.

Productive?Well, 13 books, ve

seasons worth of TV scripts, uncountable TV and radio com-mentaries and a raft of speeches all written in the early hours of the day.

Oh, yes and 35 years worth of weekly newspaper columns.

Thirty-ve times 52 that means this is my 1,820th column, give or take.

Im not boasting about this, because its no big deal. I didnt erect a cathedral or compose a symphony all I did was get up early most mornings and sit down in front of a keyboard. Its like building a home or walking a hundred miles; it doesnt get done overnight; it gets done a brick or a step at a time.

Ah, but what about the hard part?

What about rolling out of the sack at an hour when most folks are in deep sleep (and some are just rolling in from a night on the town)?

Yeah, there are compromises in-volved.

An early riser doesnt get to close the bars or watch the Late, Late Show. People who get up at dawn tend to go to bed ear-lier than most which means your social life takes a bit of a hit. But theres nothing on television that you cant tape and watch at your convenience.

And having one or two fewer beers with the gang wont do you any harm.

Au contraire.Best of all, you get

to have some time to yourself to Get Some-thing Done.

Read your favour-ite author, complete a correspondence course, paint a wa-tercolour, write those letters youve been putting off.

Move your life along so that youre not merely putting in time.

Just do it.

There are other rewards, often unex-pected.

Some years after I gave my talk at the private school I got a phone call from someone whose

name I didnt recog-nize. She was a lm producer, working in Edmonton. She had also been a member of the student body in the school where I gave my talk.

I just want to tell you, said the voice on the phone, that I took your advice about getting up early. It made all the differ-ence in my career.

Yes!
