A cedar split-rail fence curved alongside the driveway, next to a clearing with a large, leafy walnut tree. A well-established cedar-sided house came into view, with three

chimneys pokingout of the roof. The place felt welcom-ing and its name, Baybrook suggestedhomecom-ing. Cedar shrubs and clumps of lavender

hugged the front of the house, beside a wooden deck garlanded with clematis. Down the slope a grassy meadow borders Brooklyn Creek—a salmon stream that meanders out to the ocean after flowing through the darkness of the rainforest.

Near a group of apple trees I paused to take in a stunning view of Comox Bay, with the smoky-blue Beaufort Range and ice-capped Comox Glacier rising to the east. The bank I was sitting on, and all of the grassy meadow was underscored by midden. White shells broken up like smashed pottery poked out of the black, loamy soil. The property is part of an ancient native midden that stretched all along Comox Bay, near a former village site.

In 1923 well-known naturalist and writer Hamilton Mack Laing built his Baybrook home on top of the midden, cleared the land of giant trees and established a nut farm. Laing was extremely hardworking and achieved success at whatever he turned his

Now that the calendar has advanced into the second half of September it could be said that the fall fishery has started. This brings a shift in focus away from chinook and more towards coho, everyone who wants them has caught enough pinks this year and the first real push of chums is just around the corner.

Of course nice chinooks can be caught at any time and there will still be a few taken in the approach waters to their home rivers or late-running fish moving down the straits that decide to bite a pink hootchy meant for chums. But, in the Strait of Georgia at least, many of the chinook present in the hot spots favoured earlier in the season will be sub-legal fish, best left alone for a few months methinks.

The only official end to a chinook sea-son is that undertaken by the Tyee Club in Campbell River, which since its inception in 1924 has ended on Sept. 15. As I write this the club fishery still has 36 hours to go so it’s too early to give an official end of sea-son tally but the fish appear to be suffering from a strong case of lockjaw for almost a week now so, unless there’s an unexpect-edly strong last minute bite, the number isn’t

likely to change by much.At 45 registered tyees to date,

the 2013 season total can be described as OK but not out-standing, right in the middle of annual totals over the past decade. The third week of August was the time to be fish-ing in Tyee Pool this year, when approximately half of the season total was taken; as previously described I was out of town for that exact period of time!

What has been encouraging is the larger size of the chinook this season, exemplified by the sixty-one and half pound-er caught by Mike Gage with son Richard on the oars but the average weight was up noticeably, with more fish over forty pounds headed for the scale than for quite a few years. Let’s hope this is the start of a longer-term trend!

Traditionally, September and early October were prime months for coho fishing but of course this tradition has largely fallen by the wayside over the past 20 years in inside wat-ers. 2013 could well be different and ardent

anglers should expect good coho action around much of the Strait of Georgia this fall. There is much anticipation on how the unexpected abundance in the Strait of Georgia throughout much of the summer will trans-late into actual coho returns to area rivers this fall.

Building on a developing tradition, there should be some excellent coho fishing along the beaches adjacent to rivers as the fish school awaiting better

migration conditions in-river. With rivers low as the dry weather continues there’s been no great impetus for the fish to enter freshwater, even so there are some determined early runners that have worked their way up river already.

Not so the pink salmon, almost all of which are now in freshwater and in many cases have started to spawn. The seine fish-ery for them in Johnstone Straits lasted five days and harvested nearly two million fish - sounds like a lot but it was only a quarter of the identified total allowable catch. However the run headed to the Fraser River was decreasing rapidly as the fishery commenced and allowable mortalities of non-target sal-mon, primarily sockeye and coho, were reached quickly triggering the closure.

Some people have speculated that the large return of pink salmon to the south coast this year augurs well for a similarly sized chum return. My response is maybe but don’t bet on it. Because of their different age at maturity, chum and pinks that return in the same year went to sea in different years and almost certainly one factor that supports large returns of salmon, regardless of indi-vidual stock and species, is productive ocean

conditions in their early months at sea.Retrospective analysis will likely show

that marine conditions in the early summer of 2012 were favourable for pinks, whether the same can be said for chums in 2011 and 2010, especially the latter year, I’m uncertain. Anyway let’s hope so as the 2009 broodyear will be the largest contributing year class to this years chum return.

Both 2008 (age-five returning fish this year) and 2009 (age-four’s) had similar returns of about two and a quarter million chums to inner south coast rivers, including the Fraser, average but not great for sure. 2010 saw only about half that number so the contribution of three year olds to this years return is likely to be similarly low.

The reality is that DFO doesn’t make a forecast in a formal sense for chums. Partly this is a function of the time of year when the adults actually return to rivers, when fall rains and high coloured water can make accurate assessment difficult. More import-antly, because of the inadequate resources directed to DFO by the federal government, management staff have to make hard choices on which species they spend the available money.

I’m sure it will come as no surprise to most readers to understand that sockeye andchinook salmon rank at the top of the assess-ment hierarchy and chums about at the bot-tom, tied with pinks for last place and with coho occupying the middle ground.

Until the funding situation changes, char-acterization of chum returns pre-season will remain a guesstimate, based on little more than the assessed return in contributing broodyears and a sense of overall marine sur-vival trends for salmon in the interim.

Anyway, chum season isn’t far away so let’s hope for a good one!

Fall is here - it’s time for coho and chum

“A moral hazard exists,” Bryne Purchase writes, “whenever decision makers in risky situations reap the rewards from their deci-sions without bearing all the costs.” (Mortal Hazard: Why catastrophic events like the sub-prime mortgage crisis and climate change are inevitable, The Walrus, April, 2013). This transfer of costs elsewhere, he argues, encour-ages risk taking — a risk that is either trans-ferred to society or to nature.

Society, of course, essentially condones risk, actively welcoming it because of the huge wealth and opportunities it brings. Nature, in contrast, is a passive recipient of risk. The only possible resistance it has is the inherent obstacles it presents to the tech-nology of the initiatives employed to exploit it. But nature is rarely improved by the risk imposed on it. Indeed, the mounting cost of that risk is proving to be catastrophic, even counter to our own interests. Such effects are adding an illuminating new dimension to the subject of moral hazard.

Nature, we are learning, must be protected from risk. Almost all risk is a trespass on its intrinsic right to be itself. Our recognition of this right is demonstrated in the commend-able acts of creating parks and protecting

wilderness, of preserving spe-cies and rehabilitating those that are endangered by the cost of risk. Such a caring behav-iour indicates a magnanimity in the human character, a wise generosity and a commendable compassion that is an indication of our deepening consciousness. Sometimes this honouring of nature even seems to be selfless, a glimpse of humanity at its best.

This gesture of a commend-able caring is, however, inad-equate. The beneficial effects of such small measures of generosity are usually overwhelmed by the ambitious momentum of culturally sanctioned risk. While profit is important, making it without regard for con-sequences is destructive and ultimately self-defeating. A compulsion that raises risk to the possibility of disastrous cost is reckless and pathological. Global warming, for example, is now evidence of this pathology manifest at a planetary scale. But it is repeated in uncount-able little instances almost everywhere by habitat loss, ecological degradation and pollu-tion. This piecemeal unravelling of nature is

now threatening the stability of Earth’s entire biosphere.

The conflict between those who are taking risk and those who are assessing it can be framed within the concept of moral hazard and their two dif-ferent calculations of risk and cost. Regardless of the calcula-tion, however, the empirical evidence now suggests that the amount of risk transferred to nature has increased to such pro-portions, and the precariousness of major ecosystems has become

so tenuous, that any more transfer of risk must be deemed foolishly reckless, patho-logically selfish and destructively counter to our general well-being.

Unfortunately, the examples are ubiqui-tous. They include the obsessive quest for fos-sil fuels, the massive pillaging of ocean fish stocks, the mining of minerals in increasingly remote and sensitive ecologies, the levelling of forests and jungles to feed industrial agri-culture, the wholesale obliteration of species, and the incessant emitting of copious quanti-ties of carbon dioxide into the thin shell of

precious atmosphere enshrouding a fragile planet that is reaching the end of its ecologic-al resilience.

A more specific example of this dispro-portionate transfer of risk is net-pen salmon farming. The cost is still being measured but it is known to include wildlife displacement, benthic pollution and sea lice infestations. The potential for exotic viral epidemics eman-ating from net-pens to wild salmon stocks could be devastating to entire structure of marine ecologies. In the transfer of risk, the weight of environmental costs against the economic benefits is still unfolding. But in Purchase’s ominous understanding of the dynamics of moral hazard, “tipping points” can have “viral effects”, so that “by the time a potential problem becomes recognized as a clear and present danger, no action may be sufficient to prevent [catastrophe]” (Ibid.).

Catastrophe is now entering the vernacular as a common measure of cost. Meanwhile, just when the growing precariousness of ecol-ogies is making every cost more expensive, the magnitude of risk is escalating in propor-tion to the rising power of technology. This suite of factors

Knowing Nature from page 1.hand to includ-ing natural his-tory, art, writing, photography, woodwork and nut farming. He hobnobbed with many great sci-entists of his day, including Percy Taverner of the National Museum, bird-artist Allan Brooks, and Ian McTaggart-Cowan who later became Dean of Science at UBC. After his wife’s untimely death Laing sold Baybrook to the Stubbs family and in 1950 built another home, Shakesides, next door to it on the waterfront.

In later years Laing was something of a local charac-ter. He was outraged that people would drive between Courtenay and Comox when they could simply walk. He kept a gun handy and occasionally shot raptors that pes-tered smaller birds on his property, much to the horror of his neighbours. A notorious miser, he often ate a subsist-ence diet from nuts and vegetables on his property. When Laing died in 1982 at the age of 99 he willed his Shakesides home and property (now Mack Laing Park) to the town of Comox.

At the foot of Baybrook’s grassy meadow a narrow path leads through a saltmarsh to the beach. Shiny green rushes and spiky saltgrass dominate. Clumps of seaweed bleached white and dried to the consistency of paper were draped over the rushes like scattered hankies. The tide left behind rafts of driftwood with small bits of bark and exoskeletons of crabs, mixed with the usual human flotsam—a brown coffee cup lid and a yellow-striped straw.

Pickleweed was abundant along the shoreline. Jointed and fleshy, with no leaves, it grows upright with branches like stubby fingers. It’s edible and I always nibble on a piece when I find it; it has an intensely salty flavor that brings me directly to where I am—in the saltmarsh by the sea. Gumweed was in bloom with its bright yellow daisy-like flowers and rubbery leaves; it will keep flowering well into the fall. A daub of sticky white latex at the centre of each bud gives the plant its name. It was a calm evening on Comox Bay and I followed the shore as the sun went down, lighting everything with an end-of-the-day glow.

In recent years the Town of Comox purchased the 2.6-hectare Baybrook property from a private owner. It is now accessible to the public, providing a wonderful add-on to Mack Laing Park and McDonald Wood. The new park will protect significant natural features such as the Brooklyn Creek estuary, old-growth Douglas-firs, an Eagle nest and a beautiful saltmarsh. The human-heritage of the property is multilayered and includes a significant native site, as well as the historic house.

A committee of volunteer professionals, including mem-bers of Comox Valley Nature and Project Watershed, has agreed to do a feasibility study on the costs of restoring Baybrook in an effort to save it from demolition. If it cap-tures the town’s imagination Baybrook could be a historic landmark for Comox, similar to the Haig-Brown House in Campbell River. The fate of the house will soon be decided.

Historian Richard Mackie wrote an excellent biography of Mack Laing, Mack Laing: Hunter-Naturalist in 1985. It is a fascinating read, giving insights into Comox history and Laing’s many contributions as a scientist and writer.

Baybrook Park can be accessed from the driveway on Orchard Park Drive or via Mack Laing Park. It is a short distance from the Shakesides house to Baybrook, walking along the waterfront in the direction of Filberg Park.

Grigg from page 3. combines to make all risk more threatening than ever before.

In a time before the present age, the cost of risk was limited and mostly absorbed by the resilience of nature. Civilizations rose and fell but the environmental dam-age they did was typically local rather than structural. This is no longer the case. Two centuries of hyper industrial and technological growth has combined with a soaring human population to radically raise the cost of risk. Meanwhile, the incredible material rewards accruing to society from its economic culture have joined with human psychology to separate risk from cost.

This separation has created an extremely dangerous situation. Even though a growing number of people now anticipate the terrible consequences of ongoing environmental damage, the temptation to delay a crucial rebalancing of risk and cost seems to be overwhelming. This is why Bryne Purchase, by altering a single letter, has changed “moral hazard” to “mortal hazard”.

Enjoy that awesome truck, Randy!

There’s a lively buzz happening at Freedom Now Yoga Studio on 5th Street. With its bright, welcoming vibe, this downtown studio has a growing community of locals enjoying daily yoga classes in the hub of the city. Owners Gary and Cindy Fort are excited to expand their program this fall to include Dancing Freedom on Thursday nights, facilitated by Helen Pattinson.

“We are thrilled to have Dancing Freedom here,” says Cindy. “We love dancing, and the freedom and joy it brings to simply let loose on the dance floor. It’s a great complement to what we offer here with yoga and meditation. The first time I experienced Dancing Freedom with Helen, I felt immediately at home in my body, moving to the rhythm of my soul and releasing just so much stuff I didn’t even rea-lise I was holding. Helen is fantastic! She holds the space beautifully and guides intuitively from within.”

Dancing Freedom is a guided free-form dance practice, open to adults of all ages and all fitness levels. Facilitated by Dance and Yoga facilitator Helen Pattinson, this moving medi-tation helps you release tension, shake off mind chatter and find freedom through move-ment.

“We come together to get out of our heads and into our bodies,” explains Helen. “It’s very

liberating and a great way to enjoy dancing and connect with like-minded community away from the bar and pub scene. You move at your own pace, and each dance has a medita-tion theme to explore through the vehicle of the body. The only rules are no booze and no shoes.”

“You don’t have to be a dancer,” Helen says. “Everyone can dance. If your heart beats, you can dance!”

A lot of people feel self-conscious dancing. They are worried they will look silly or get the dance moves wrong.

'At Dancing Freedom, we create a safe, sup-ported environment where people feel com-fortable to be themselves. People tell me they haven’t danced this way since they were kids. And the best thing about Dancing Freedom is, ‘You can’t get it wrong’!”

Come try out our FREE taster session - Thursday Sept. 19, 7:30-9pm at Freedom Now Yoga, 333 5th Street, Courtenay.

Five-week session begins Thursdays Sept. 26 - Oct. 24. Cost $65 for 5 weeks / or $15 drop-in.

View work inspired by the community we live in produced by over 60 valley artists plus a large aerial photograph of Comox taken in the mid-1960’s.

Visitors to the gallery will be treated to a tre-mendous variety of artistic styles and media.

Artists such as Sharon Lennox (2013 People’s Choice winner), Brian Buckrell, Bev Johnston, Evelyn M, Judi Pedder, Hans Larsen, and Jill Paris Rody, just to mention a few will be dis-playing their work.

Media represented will be oil, acrylic, water-color, metal, and photography.

The members anniversary show is always a special occasion as it gives the membership a chance to not only celebrate another successful year in operation but to renew its commitment to promote local artists.

As well, this year marks the seventh year that the gallery has been able to raise enough money to allow it to continue to present $1500.00 in bursaries to local high schools. Since the begin-ning in 2007 the gallery has given out $11,500.00 in bursary funding.

The gallery continues to show local artists at its satellite galleries established at the Comox Recreational Center on Noel Avenue and the Comox Library.

Visitors to the Recreation Center are treated to art exhibitions displayed in the hallway show-

cases. These exhibits along with the artwork at the Library are changed every three months. There are up to 5 or more valley artists featured each time at the Rec Center while 1 artist is featured at the Library.

There will be a “reception” on Saturday after-noon, September 21st from 1-4 pm. Come out, meet the artists, and have a piece of the deli-cious anniversary cake that will be provided by Quality Foods.

During the afternoon all purchases of art by members or anyone taking out a membership will receive 10% off their purchase. The gallery is located in at 1729 Comox Avenue. It is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10am - 4pm, and Sundays from 1-4pm (closed Mondays), admis-sion is free.

FMI see our virtual gallery on our website at www.pearlellisgallery.com or visit our facebook page. The gallery now offers free wi-fi.

WHAT’SONIn the Comox Valley

At a recent gathering at Kin Beach of community lead-ers and concerned citizens, people expressed feeling helpless, hopeless, sad, betrayed, isolated, numb, afraid, angry and overwhelmed...

If you share concerns for the future of our beautiful valley, province, country and the world, and are inter-ested in becoming a more effective contributor to posi-tive change, you are invited to a workshop to be held at Creekside Commons on Friday, Sept 20th at 7 pm.

By using EFT, (Emotional Freedom Techniques aka Meridian Tapping), you can dispel those negative feel-ings about your efforts and replace these difficult emo-tions with a renewed ability to make empowered choices and take positive actions.

Alice Grange, EFT Coach, has used EFT to transform her own life and is now sharing her training to help reduce those exhausting, frustrating emotions we share about the state of our world, and our political/corporate realities.

Please join Alice for a FREE Tapping Circle and learn these self help skills to release the effect that our past experiences have on our present ability to respond to the crisis of our times. RSVP to [email protected] or call 250-702-7570. Please carpool to Creekside Commons, 2202 Lambert Road, Courtenay. For a map and more information about EFT please go to www.healingwith-tapping.com and click on Tapping Circles.

This Thursday, September 19, at 7:30, The Little Red Church Society is thrilled to present the first in a series of monthly live Jazz performances.

Kicking things off for the fall Jazz Series, is well known local performer and the Valley’s newest Jazz combo, “Ralph Barrat and The Sharp Seven”, presenting A Tribute to Sinatra and Ellington.

Executive Director Kelly Pound commented, “Our once per month Jazz Series dovetails perfectly with the Jazz Society’s weekly Thursday performances, when there is no performance at The Avalanche”.

“The Sharp Seven” is the Valley’s newest Jazz combo and is supported by a powerhouse musi-cian line-up with Gregory Bush,

VIU, Professor of Music on trum-pet, Don Mackay (Masters in Jazz Composition) on bass and Michael Eddy (ARCT Royal Conservatory of Music) on grand piano. Rounding out the group are two recent VIU Music Degree graduates: Troy Lucas on alto sax and Carson Fry on trombone. On drums is well

known local performer, Rob Peterson.

Barrat is normally seen perform-ing and singing behind a piano.

“The Sharp Seven” combo gives Barrat the opportunity to treat the audience with his distinct vocal style, reminiscent of Sinatra, Bublé and the greats.

You are in for a real treat as Barrat belts out arrangements of favourites like Stella, Nature Boy, Best is Yet to Come, It Don’t Mean a Thing and many more of your favourite tunes, specifically arranged for the group by Gregory Bush and Troy Lucas. For more info visit: ralphbarrat.com

The fall jazz series at The Little Red Church, (licensed), compli-ments an already vibrant live jazz performance scene.

The performance will be at the beautifully renovated hall, attached to the Old Heritage Chapel, which is the perfect venue for private and public events such as live theatre and musical perfor-mance.

Presently adorned with the orig-inal art work of Jerry Simice, you

will love the atmosphere and vibe, created through the dedication of Executive Director, Kelly Pound, who is fulfilling her dream of a central location for “The Community Arts” in the Comox Valley, to flourish.

Advance tickets are $10 ($12 at the Door) and available at Bop City Records, Rewind Coffee Bar in Tin Town and Red Carpet Boutique at the Comox & Anderton plaza. Don’t be disappointed, as tickets are expected to go fast.

Part proceeds to support the Little Red Church Society’s renova-tion project of the Old Heritage Chapel.

Comox Valley Art Gallery invites everyone to an artist’s talk on the closing day of the exhibition titled Re: Moved. The talk takes place on Saturday September 21 from 2:30pm - 3:30pm at the Gallery, admission is free or by donation.

Re: Moved is an exhibition of oil paintings by Victoria BC painter, Mark Laver and industrial sculp-ture by Brent Bukowski of Kaslo BC. Laver’s Rural Disasters series and Bukowski’s byproducts series together examine the visceral beauty of detritus, the artistic tradition of utilizing found objects and photo-graphs, and the emotive and intellectual results of creating objects and images that evoke stillness out of that which once moved.

For this artist talk, Mark Laver will attempt to answer the question: “Why paint car accidents and fires?”.

He will touch on biographical details, past artistic projects, and the intersection of personal history, cur-rent events, philosophy of art, and the state of “the art world” in order to both trace the development of the Rural Disasters series and the multiple interpreta-tions they have elicited.

Laver will discuss what led to this series, and inter-pretations they have elicited, while showing past and current work. Please note that this is the closing day of the exhibition.

Mark Laver holds a BA Double Major History in Art/Philosophy with Distinction from the University of Victoria.

He says of his work: “it is my goal to continue seeking the intuitive, mysterious starting point to each painting, allowing the work to evolve over time as I do”.

Laver has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in various galleries in BC and Ontario. His work can be found in the collection of The University of Victoria, Comox Valley Regional District, as well as private and public collections in Canada, the United States, Australia and Europe.

I can’t say why each day doesn’t quite fit the space we save for it, Mark Laver, 2009, oil on panel, 122cm x 122cm
