Island BirdsMike Yip

Although most of the 69 butter-flies on the Vancouver Island list are or were local breeding species,

there are a few that are migrants and a few that are vagrants.

For the purposeof this article, I considermigrants as those that aren’t born on

the Island but appear fairly regu-larly year after year. These would include the Red Admiral, California Tortoiseshell, Painted Lady, and Westcoast Lady. Vagrants are also born elsewhere but are rarely seen on the Island. These would include the Monarch, Mormon Fritillary, and Compton Tortoiseshell. Just to further clarify, the Monarch is orange and black and migrates to regions with milkweed which is essential as a host plant. Milkweed is not found on the Island, and many people mistake our common yellow and black swallowtails for the Monarch.

One of the most common migrants is the beautifully col-oured and patterned Painted Lady. It is one of the most cosmopolitan butterflies in the world and is found on every continent except Antarctica. The Painted Ladies we see on the Island originate from the deserts of southern United States and northern Mexico where mil-lions are born every spring.

In some years thousands make it to Vancouver Island and a few

get as far as the Arctic. The dis-tribution map in Butterflies of BC show records of the Painted Lady from Victoria to Port Hardy. It is known to be a breeding species for southern BC so it is possible that they do breed on the Island. Apparently, they are known to use a variety host plants includ-ing thistles. There are no records

for the southward migration of the Painted Ladies and no record of winter hibernation on the island which accounts for the fact that they are often in September and October until they succumb to the elements.

Like most migrants and vagrants, the Painted Lady is a large butterfly with a wingspan of

about six centimetres or two and a half inches. It has an orange base colour on the topside with black markings and the outer half of the forewing is black with white spots. I had the pleasure of seeing several in early June in Victoria while they were basking in the late afternoon sun on the cement reservoir cover at Mt. Tolmie. I also saw one bask-ing on last week on Mt. Douglas. Note that both locations are rocky hilltops where the butterflies can catch the last rays of sun in the late afternoon.

Before I forget, I should mention that the Painted Lady is a favorite species for a science project in classrooms. Kits with instructions are readily available, and Painted Ladies can be successfully raised and then released. That means it’s possible to see captive bred Painted Ladies on the Island. However, since they all look the same there is no way of telling whether one is a migrant or a science project, but I expect most will be migrants.

Although the curtain for butter-fly season is drawing to a close, there are still several species to look for besides the Painted Lady. Last fall I saw Zephyr Commas, Anna’s Blues, Mariposa Coppers, Purplish Coppers, Mourning Cloaks and Cabbage Butterflies until the end of September. Some of the species like the Anna’s Blues have mated and will be at the end of their life cycle while others like the Mourning Cloaks will hibernate for the winter.

With the arrival of the second week of September, a victory of sorts for the marine recreational fishery has been achieved this year – the halibut fishery remains open. As important, it is unlikely to close down any time soon and so will in all likelihood con-tinue on well into the fall. Having reached its poundage allocation, in each of the past few years DFO has had to close the recrea-tional halibut fishery in the first few days of September, to the great dismay of many anglers and the businesses in small coastal communities that depend upon them.

DFO has estimated that the recreational harvest of halibut to the end of July this year amounted to approximately 550,000 pounds or almost exactly half of the recreational allo-cation derived from the 85/15 per cent com-mercial/recreational apportionment mandated by the federal government.

Of course this modest progress in recrea-tional seasonal opportunity has come at the cost of the most restrictive suite of regula-tions governing the recreational halibut fishery – a combination of size restrictions and the imposition of an annual limit of six fish – but at least this package appears to be working as intended. Last winter the Sport Fishing Advisory Board heard at length from its participants that, to the greatest extent pos-sible, ensuring that the halibut season would continue into the fall should be the primary objective in developing the regulation pack-age for 2013.

In those areas of the coast where halibut are regularly encountered, the challenge for the many service providers in ensuring that their clients remain compliant has been consider-able and no word yet from DFO enforcement staff regarding their views on how this aspect of the 2013 season has unfolded, but I expect any issues to be all hashed out in a post-season review.

It seems likely that the hali-but total allowable catch (TAC) for Canada in 2014 will be similar to this year and so, barring any unexpected change to the inter-sectoral allocation policy, the recreational allocation will be similar also with regula-tions to match.

One aspect of the recreational halibut fish-ery I am anticipating learning more about is the federal governments cherished privatiza-tion scheme, whereby angling interests – not just anglers themselves – can lease halibut quota at prevailing market rates from com-mercial quota holders. Having the discretion-ary income to pay for it, leased quota enables those who wish to use it to circumvent the size and seasonal restrictions that govern the usual public halibut fishery.

It is my sincere hope that this fishery for the rich which the Harper government seems so keen to advance will have been the abject

failure in 2013 that characterized its first two seasons of operation, however the data for this par-ticular fishery won’t be known until later in the year. The con-cern amongst those who share my views is that the additional restrictions on the regular hali-but recreational fishery this sea-son will have persuaded those with more money than prin-ciples to buy into this scheme, one that sets an awful precedent for the future of the recrea-

tional fishery more broadly if it is in any way judged to be successful. Time will tell ….

Elsewhere, the beat goes on for the pink salmon return to the inner south coast, now mostly made up of fish headed for the Fraser River. Over the last few days of August and the beginning of this month daily records for the numbers of pinks caught in the prescribed sequence of sets by seine boats conducting the test fishing for the Pacific Salmon Commission (PSC) in Johnstone Strait continued to be broken. The CPUE (catch per unit of effort, a standard metric in fisheries management worldwide) numbers are so high that extrapolating an estimate of run-size with any great degree of accuracy isn’t possible. Suffice to say that the PSC is estimating the Fraser pink return at 25+ million fish.

Obviously such abundance allows for commercial harvest, with a TAC calculated at

nearly eight million pinks, roughly equivalent to the pre-season forecast of total return to the Fraser River! However the challenge lies in conducting commercial fisheries while address-ing the issue of other salmon species of concern co-migrating through Johnstone Straits with the

pinks. The abundance of Fraser pinks is offset by the ongoing low return of Fraser sockeye, for which First Nations food fisheries remain closed, and more lately the in-migration of coho through the straits above Campbell River. Despite the increased abundance of coho around the southern BC coast this year, minimizing wild coho harvest in most fish-eries remains a management priority.

Rather than the more usual derby style openings of “X” number of hours, both seine and troll fisheries for pinks are underway util-izing the IVQ or individual vessel quota style of management. Each licenced seine and troll vessel has a quota of approximately 32,000 and 8,000 pink salmon respectively, with an allowable mortality of 110 and 19 sockeye mortalities each.

Because of the concern for sockeye by-catch DFO has arranged for a higher than usual independent on-board observer cover-age in these fisheries and all off-loads have to be inspected at designated ports. In the absence of a fixed time constraint creating a competitive environment between boats, it is hoped that careful sorting before the fish are brought on board will enable crews to releasesockeye, coho and chinooks with minimal harm.

Locally, the return of pink salmon to the Campbell/Quinsam watershed continues to grow, and is now estimated at over three-quarters of a million fish. Two-thirds of these have been passed through the counting fence at the Quinsam Hatchery. The river and all its side streams right to the falls just below Lower Quinsam Lake will be fully subscribed with pinks, providing a bonanza for any wildlife that wants to eat them, countless eggs and later fry as food for trout and juven-ile coho and steelhead and infusing a large nutrient contribution into the river ecosystem from their decaying carcasses post-spawning. Excellent!

A welcomed victory - halibut fishery still open

The City of Campbell River’s Recreation Department has developed a series of programs for preschool-aged children to nurture their natural love for being active.

“The newly-developed programs complement some of our staple pro-grams to form our Active Start ser-ies,” explains recreation program-mer Kevin Elmore.

One of the new programs, start-ing on Sept. 19, is Wiggle Giggle and Go. It’s for children two and three years old, and combines songs, stories and plenty of play to develop running, jumping, throw-ing, catching and kicking skills.

“Physical literacy has been on the decline in Canada and through-out the world because, starting at a very young age, children are not being as active as they used to be,” Elmore adds. “We want to see Campbell River change this trend so children have the skills needed to achieve success in sport and recrea-tion to help keep them healthy and active for life.”

According to Canada Sport for

Life: kids who have fun playing a sport are more likely to stay active and healthy for their entire lifetime.

The new programs are the result of City recreation staff training with Pacific Sport last fall, that gave 12 staff members National Coaching Certification in physical literacy and fundamental movement skills. This training has helped programmers shape the upcoming season with a new focus.

Get all the details on these new programs in the Fall/Winter recrea-tion guide, which is available online at www.campbellriver.ca or at the

Campbell River Community and Sportsplex.

One of the factors compromising our pros-pects for a stable and secure environmental future is outlined by Bryne Purchase in the subject of moral hazard — a hazard he emphasizes simply by changing the title of his article in The Walrus (April, 2013) from “moral” to “mortal” (Mortal Hazard: Why cat-astrophic events like the sub-prime mortgage crisis and climate change are inevitable.) His ideas are insightful and timely, even remotely hopeful because he identifies a structural flaw in “the architecture of our decision making” that we could correct by being aware of it.

The flaw, Purchase explains, “is that in the pursuit of economic growth we privatize reward and socialize the downside risk.” Economists have borrowed the term “moral hazard” from the insurance industry to describe this process. “A moral hazard exists,” Purchase writes, “whenever decision makers in risky situations reap the rewards from theirdecisions without bearing all the costs.” This transfer of cost to others encourages risk tak-ing, a shifting of responsibility that is even officially acknowledged in the term “limited liability”.

But the society that inherits costs also reaps rewards. Modern market capitalism, Purchase explains, has created an incredibly dynamic economy with unimaginable wealth

since its inception a little more than two centuries ago. The material success of our global economic system is due primar-ily to this agreed distribution of risk and cost. In exchange for the immense social and economic benefits provided by adventurous investors, their businesses are protected by cor-porate recognition, legislated support, government grants, tax benefits and even bankruptcy laws that limit personal respon-sibility for imprudence and out-right incompetence. In exchange, society gets jobs, infrastructure, merchandise, services, opportunity, innovative new products, and the promising prospects generally described as progress.

The danger in this system, however, is thatit lacks the checks that provide appropriate restraints. Such a lapse in supervision occurs because both the economic system and the social system are joint beneficiaries of the risk process. Society, therefore, is reluctant to impose restrictive regulations on economic activity because any constraining effects may be felt by everyone. This exposes modern market capitalism “to new orders of potential-

ly catastrophic failure,” explains Purchase. “Catastrophic, because by the time a potential problem becomes recognized as clear and present danger, no action may be sufficient to prevent social and economic breakdown... .” The complexity of such a system produces “tipping points” that may have “viral effects”, the most dramatic and vivid example being the recent sub-prime mortgage fiasco of 2008-09 that came close to collapsing the world’s entire financial system — secondary

and tertiary effects are still reverberating throughout the economies and societies of many countries.

Purchase quotes Allan Greenspan, the former chair of the Federal Reserve Board in the United States, who succinctly explains the forces of risk in the evolution of this financial shock. “A difficult problem is that much of the dubious financial-market behaviour that emer-ges during the expansion phase is the result not of ignorance that risk is badly under-priced, but of the concern that unless firms participate in a current euphoria, they will irretrievably lose market share.” The competi-tive power of the system, therefore, sanctions inexcusable risk.

This, however, is but half the equation. The other half is the social and political psychology underlying the unfolding dis-aster. “I am also increasingly persuaded,” notes Greenspan, “that governments and central banks could not have importantly altered the course of the boom either. To do so, they would have had to induce a degree of economic contraction sufficient to nip the budding euphoria. I have seen no evidence, however, that electorates in modern demo-cratic societies would tolerate such severity in

macroeconomic policy to combat a prospectiveproblem that might not even materialize.” Since everyone was benefitting from the surge in the housing market, and the cost only existed as conjecture for some time in the indeterminate future, no one would take the initiative to reduce the opportunities for finan-cial gain. The present reward overruled the possible risk.

Now transpose this entire argument to the subject of global climate change. “A moral hazard exists,” Purchase reminds us, “when-ever decision makers in risky situations reap the rewards from their decisions without bearing all the costs.” Fossil fuel corpora-tions and their investors, together with almost every member of a modern market capitalistic society, are all reaping the economic wealth accruing from the present unrestrained use of coal, gas and oil. The cost of billions of tonnesof carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere is calculated as possible risk projected into the future, cost for some other people to solve with some other ingenuity. Moral hazard invites such deferrals and human psychology is willing to comply. And, as Purchase notes, “There are always politicians willing to offer the policy option with the least short-term cost or the greatest short-term benefit.”

We are now, however, entering a transition phase. The environmental risk is beginning to impose its cost. The Arctic is melting, the oceans are rising, the temperature is climbing and the weather is getting more bizarre. The cost is floods, droughts, fires, political instabil-ity, crop failures, climate refugees, species loss and miscellaneous disasters that are surprisingin their imaginative ingenuity. The deferred future is becoming the unfolding present.

Moral hazard is exacting its payment. Whether we continue to play the game of risk and cost remains an unanswered question.

Red Cross Imagine...No Bullying campaignraised more than$200K province wide

The province-wide Imagine... No Bullying campaign met its goal and raised more than $200,000 to bring Red Cross bullying preven-tion programs to more schools across BC. Thanks to generous supporters, the dona-tions will allow Red Cross to reach more than 16,000 youth in BC with tools to prevent bullying in schools.

“The Imagine... No Bullying campaign was incredibly successful, and we’re very grateful to everyone who participated,” said Sofia Joensuu, Education Associate for the Red Cross Violence and Abuse Prevention program. “As kids pre-pare to go back to school, they can rest assured that Red Cross is work-ing hard to put an end to all types of violence, abuse and harassment in BC schools.”

The Red Cross bullying preven-tion program trains youth and adults on how to prevent bullying, how to safely intervene in bully-ing situations and how to create healthy environments in schools and communities. Red Cross Youth Facilitators, who are high school students, deliver the bullying pre-vention workshops to elementary school students.

“As a victim of bullying myself, when the opportunity to become a youth facilitator came forth, I felt empowered to have the chance to approach bullying from an insider’s point of view,” said Hannah Block, senior student at New Westminster Secondary and Red Cross Youth Facilitator.

This unique peer-facilitation model is very effective because younger students look up to the older students as role models and are positively influenced to change or prevent bullying behaviour. The

campaign launched in September 2012 and concluded at the end of the 2012-2013 school year.

The Canadian Red Cross has been involved with violence and abuse preven-tion programming for more than 25 years. For more information on the Red Cross RespectED: Violence & Abuse Prevention pro-gram, please visit www.redcross.ca.

Welcome to autumn. One of the telltales of the season is the changing colours; anoth-er is the return of Thursday Night Live Jazz at the Avalanche Bar and Grill on Eighth Street.

During the summer, Georgia Straight Jazz Society has planned another wonderful year of local and regional jazz performers, pro-viding you with an opportunity to see and listen to a wonderful array of jazz music.

Since this is the beginning of something great, which spans the winter season, why not plan on marking your calendar for Thursday nights, and get in the habit of joining those jazz lovers who regularly get together to socialize, and revel in the sheer pleasure of live music?

The Thursday Evening Concert at the Avalanche will feature the Lensmen. The September 12th performance will be an opportunity to hear some very invigorating and authentic Dixieland and 40’s music. The music starts at 7:30 pm

The Lensmen collectively bring a lot of years of experience to recreate music that has been around a long time. The group’s repertoire reaches back to just about the turn of the century, 1900 that is, and through the 40’s. They have also been known to play a little jazz beyond the Big Band era with Len Wilkie crooning a la Frank Sinatra. S

ome of the oldies but goodies that will be on the program are, “Bourbon Street Parade”, “Walkin’” My Baby Back Home”, “Emily”, a beautiful waltz by Johnny Mandel and Johnny Mercer, music by Fats Waller and Dave Brubeck, a Duke Ellington medley, and many great tunes from the 20’s featur-ing Doc Sumner on banjo. The Lensmen are Len Wilkie - drums and vocals, Mike Eddy - piano, Al West - bass and vocals and Jake Masri, Trumpet and Flugelhorn.

Jake Masri is no stranger to the local music scene. Jake draws his inspiration from classical repertoire to musical theater to Afro-Cuban/New Orleans, and Bebop styles. His passion for jazz is directly linked to artists such as Herb Alpert, Miles Davis, Chet Baker, & Arturo Sandoval.

As a performance major at VCC, UVIC, & UBC, Jake studied trumpet with Boyd Hood, Gerald Gerbrecht, & trombonist, Dave Robbins. His studies in jazz exposed him to pros such as Mike Herriot, Bill Clarke, & Hugh Fraser during the local CYMC summer program.

Among his favorite vocal instructors are Ann Mortifee, Rhiannon, Ysaye Barnwell, & Wendy Nixon Stothert.

Since moving to Comox in 2002, Jake has appeared with Quintessence Brass; 6th Street, Jazztown, & Jazz Noir combos; Sounds of 17, Georgia Straight, Arrowsmith, & CR Big Bands; Strathcona Symphony Orchestra, and Just in Time Jazz Choir.

Al West is an extremely busy bass player in the valley. You will hear him everywhere

from pit orchestras at the Sid Williams, and Concert Band at the Filberg to the Strathcona Symphony at the Old Church. He has played every kind of music - jazz / folk / fiddle / rock / classical etc.... and since coming to the Valley has been good enough to share his great talent with a multitude of groups. He is especially appreciated for the timeless energy that he puts into most every musical that happens in the Valley. His skills have graced High School musicals, Fund Raising Dinner Theatre, CYMC musicals, and Community Theatre musicals. Al loves play-ing and this love is contagious to all who are lucky enough to hear him and to play with him.

Mike Eddy will be bringing piano inter-pretations to the group that span a wide diversity of styles. Raised in the Dance Band tradition, Mike has played in every kind of band possible including playing Bass in Dixieland and Big Band groups, and key-board in rock and jazz groups. During has career as a music teacher Mike was also able to fit in directing over forty musicals. Mike has been the Piano instructor for the CYMC Jazz Program for the past two summers. His love is music and life in the Comox Valley has allowed him to satisfy his passion for jazz.

Len Wilkie learned his trade with big band and small jazz groups in Europe. On coming back to Canada he was the drum-mer with the Commodores big band as well as backing some rock & roll groups. He toured with the “Canadair Variety Stage Band” (out of Montreal) throughout the east coast.

Moving west, he was the drummer/vocal-ist with the “Dixie Stompers/Desperation Jazz Band” for 22 years, while playing with other country and pop groups.

Today he brings his smooth vocals and impeccable swing feel to round out the group. Len will keep a tap in your foot and a smile on your face. He is the Len in the Lensmen.

Watch for our press release each week, or visit us at www.georgiastraightjazz.com or look for us on Facebook for additional infor-mation about each week’s performance.

Additionally, the Society has lined up some amazing professional Sunday concerts for this season, and information about these will be published close to performance dates.

We look forward to seeing regular and new faces this Thursday.

Enjoy that awesome truck, Randy!

Beginning Wednesday September 18th, Lucas Stiefvater - owner/operator of Ocean Resort, Vancouver Island’s Wellness Centre and Spa will offer an evening of medita-tion for men only. Lucas began a regular meditation practice after a visit to India in 2004.

“It wasn’t something I was looking for, but once I discovered meditation I was hooked.”, says Stiefvater. “I now experience an all encompassing sense of well-being that has a direct impact on my emotional and physical health, as well as my relationships with people. I am a very content man because of meditation.”

Science supports Lucas’ experience. There is signifi-cant research that shows individuals who meditate regu-larly experience improvement in cognitive processing, stress management, energy and libido, beneficial cardio-vascular effects and an overall improvement in quality of life.

For five consecutive Wednesdays beginning September 18th, Stiefvater will offer a combination of guided and self-directed meditation to support the creation of an ongoing practice, tailored to the unique needs of men. The one-hour meditation begins at 7 pm and will be fol-lowed by questions and discussion. No pre-registration is required and you can drop-in for one or all five of the evenings.

Regular Tuesday night drop-in meditation continues as usual. Both evenings are available by donation with all proceeds going to the Food Bank.

For more information call Lucas at 250 792-3165.

Farima Berenji will perform and give workshops this weekend

‘Poetry in Motion’ sema, lecture and sacred dance performances Friday at The Abbey

The Abbey Studio in Cumberland is excited to pres-ent sema and sacred dance performances with Farima Berenji on Friday Sept. 13th, and dance workshops on Sat. Sept. 14th and Sunday Sept. 15th. Farima travels worldwide to perform and teach dance and wellness. Her love and passion for dance and history has led her on an extraordinary life-long journey throughout the world, from her home countries Iran and Azerbaijan to other neighboring Silk Road countries such as Armenia, Kurdistan, and Turkey.

Her scholarly background includes in-depth studies of dance, music, poetry, art, history, as well as mythol-ogy, and the ancient and spiritual traditions of Iran and Central Asia. Farima is strongly connected to spiritual-ity and healing and is under the guidance and teaching of Mevlana Order Sufi master and dervish Dr. Rahmi Oruç Güvenç of Turkey. She hopes to help and guide people to the historic beauty and richness of the Silk Road culture and to help people find their inner bliss through dance, music, and sacred healing.

Cathy Stoyko of the Abbey Studio in Cumberland had the oppportunity to study with Farima earlier this summer in Turkey and was thrilled when Farima agreed to come and share her passion here in the Comox Valley. At the ‘Poetry in Motion’ event on Friday Sept. 13th we will learn personal and spiritual Sema (Sufi Whirling) as well as other turning practices, while lis-tening to sacred poetry and music. In the first part of the gathering we will learn and discuss sacred and Sufi poetry and teachings of Rumi and Shams, as well as Hafez, Saadi, Omar Khayyam, and other Sufi masters and learn to incorporate movements to their poems (Poetry in Motion).

We will them progress into dance and music therapy, followed by whirling sessions, ending with Zikr. Feel free to bring a poem to share or play us your favorite musical instrument. Feel free to bring snacks or drinks to share.

Please wear white or light colored clothing and wear socks or soft soled shoes. The evening will also feature sacred dance performances by Cathy Stoyko and Arcana Dea Dance and live music by Jesse Gentes and Destanne Lundquist. All welcome, sliding scale $12-$20 at the door, doors open at 6:30PM.

Farima will also be teaching dance workshops that same weekend, Sat. Sept. 14th & Sunday Sapt. 15th at the Abbey Studio. We will explore the land, people, geography, language, culture, and arts of ancient and modern Persia and the Silk Road.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to study with Farima and experience an intensive and magical weekend of dance at the Abbey Studio this September. Space for the Sat. and Sun. workshops is limited to max 16 partici-pants, register early to reserve your space in the work-shops.

The Abbey is located at the corner of 1st & Pentrith Ave. in Cumberland. No pre-registration needed for the Friday night event, all are welcome, pay at the door. For more information and to register for the workshops call Cathy at (250) 218-0704, email cdstoyko@uniserve.com or visit cathystoykodance.blogspot.com.
