MERIBETH DEENE D I T O R

The BC Ambulance Service Station 225 was unusually busy in the lead up to New Year’s eve this year. Paramedic Brendan Donohue says that

during his shift between midnight on December 29th and midnight on December 30th, he responded to four calls, which, he says, is unusual during the typically slow winter season. Donohue drove to those calls in the station’s new ambulance, which is equipped with a com-puter-aided dispatch (CAD) system. This device relays all the information collected through the telephone dis-patcher, such as the address, the type of emergency, and

the age of the patient directly to the paramedics in the driver and passenger seats of the ambulance.

“When we get paged for an emergency, we call the dispatcher to confirm that we’ve received the message,” says Donohue. “When we get into the ambulance, we get the information collected by the dispatcher as it comes in.”

What the new system does not offer is updated soft-ware for the GPS system that ensures the ambulance drivers take the most direct route emergency locations.

For Caring Circle coordinator Colleen O’Neil, this is a major concern.

From pulp and paper to liquid natural gas

MERIBETH DEENE D I T O R

A former pulp mill near Squamish on the North West shores of Howe Sound may get a chance at a sec-ond life as a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) processing and export facility, now that the National Energy Board has approved the company’s applica-tion to export LNG. The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency is now asking for public comment on whether a federal environmen-tal assessment is required, and whether the request by the Province of British Columbia to conduct the environmental assessment, should be approved.

If the project goes forward, approximately 3-4 tankers – each roughly one and a half times the size of a BC Ferries Coastal Class Ferry (such as the ferries that travel between Horseshoe bay and Nanaimo) - will pass by Bowen Island every month. Propelled by natural gas and using diesel as a back-up fuel, the double-hulled tankers will carry 2.1 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas to China every year.

Marion Ngo, the manager of com-munications with Woodfibre Natural Gas Ltd., says the project is still in the early phases of planning, so ele-ments regarding technology, engi-neering and impacts of the projects

are yet to be determined. Many of those details will be revealed through the environmental assessment pro-cess, whether it is conducted by the Federal government, Provincial gov-ernment or both.

However, Ngo says Woodfibre is expecting BC Hydro to provide the power needed to compress the natural gas into liquid form (the gas needs to be cooled to approximately -160 degrees Celcius).

Peter Frinton, Bowen’s represen-tative to the Sea to Sky Clean Air Society, says while the Society is con-cerned about the re-industrialization of Howe Sound in general, the use of hydro as a source of power largely alleviates concerns about localized air pollution.

“We really need to know the spe-cifics,” says Frinton, “but I think if they were burning natural gas to power their plant they would likely face a lot more opposition. From my personal perspective, I am a lot more concerned about the big pic-ture when it comes to air quality, and questions about say, greenhouse gas emissions created through the natu-ral gas industry as a whole.”

Merran Smith, the Bowen-based director of Clean Energy with Tides Canada, says that the thing to remember about LNG is that it is a fossil fuel.

Woodfibre Pulp and Paper shut down in 2006. A pending proposal could turn it into an LNG export facility, sending 3 to 4 tankers past Bowen every month

DED is now Detectable and Treatable“Dry Eye Disease (DED) is one of the most under-diagnosed ocular diseases, and yet it is the

most common reason why patients go see their Eye Doctor” Dr. Bowden says. Dry eye occurs when eyes do not produce the correct quantity or quality of tears. Many people mistake the dry eye symptoms for allergies, climatic conditions or just “eyestrain”. Your eyes need a constant layer of tears—called the “tear fi lm”— to maintain and protect the ocular surface. In Dry Eye, underlying changes to the health of the tear glands can result in a change in the quantity and quality of the tears you make. This results in a tear fi lm that can no longer provide enough nourishment or protection to the surface of your eye. This can lead to damage of your eye’s surface, which, in turn, can lead to the symptoms of Dry Eye such as; stinging, burning, scratchy sensation, sensitivity to light, tearing, tired eyes, and diffi culty wearing contact lenses. DED causes blurred vision, often worsening at the end of the day or after focusing for a prolonged period on a nearby task like a computer screen. Optomeyes Eye Doctors now have a diagnostic test that aids in accurate and early detection of Dry Eye Disease. “We can quantitatively monitor the disease severity and can intervene early in the disease process. This helps us custom prescribe therapies that work for each individual” says Dr. Bowden. If you suffer from dry eye, talk us about treatment options.

In terms of the energy-intensive process of com-pressing the gas into liquid, Smith says using hydro-power is definitely the cleanest option, but British Columbia needs to work hard to ensure that the larger process of natural gas extraction does not greatly increase the amount of carbon dioxide being released into the atmosphere.

When it comes to shipping, liquefied natural gas is significantly safer, environmentally speaking, than shipping other fossil fuels. If for some reason there was a leak in the storage unit of an LNG tanker, the liquid would spill into the water but would rapidly evaporate instead of remaining as a pollutant in the water, as would be the case with an oil spill.

Victoria-based energy researcher Arthur Caldicott says that LNG technology has greatly improved in recent years.

“Industry likes to show party tricks like the YouTube videos of people throwing matches into LNG, and see the flame be extinguished,” says Caldicott. “The evap-orating gas is highly explosive, and any spark could cause all hell to break loose – and Bowen Island is right in the line of fire of the proposed shipping routes from Woodfibre. I would be concerned about tanker traffic navigating through the waters, particularly on a summer’s day when the water is crowded with sail-boats, kayakers and other recreational boaters.”

Caldicott says that any kind of crash that involved an explosion would be disastrous, given the fact that LNG evaporates so quickly once its temperature rises, and that the gas is so flammable. Also, if there were a problem in a tanker’s refrigeration system, an explo-sion could be caused by increasing pressure within the storage tanks as the liquid warms up.

“Anything that has risk built into it - and these tank-ers do have risks - have cumulative impacts,” says Caldicott. “The more traffic you have on a waterway the greater those risks are. Environmental Assessments in BC, but also at the federal level, have a reputation of not delivering on assessments of cumulative impacts so the idea of fast-tracking this process is less than ideal.”

Any member of the public interested in making a comment on the decision about the environmental assessment must submit their letter, by January 6th, to:

“I’ve heard from many people on-island who have had the unfortunate need to call the ambulance who’ve told me it has taken far longer for the paramedics to get to them than they feel comfortable with,” says O’Neill.

Donohue says that he does not find the GPS system to be reliable, and that for the most part, paramedics from off-island rely on their local-colleagues to get them where they are going.

Donohue is one of up-to 40 off-island paramedics who make up Bowen’s ambulance staff. There are cur-rently three paramedics who live on Bowen, and one person who is training to join the team.

There are two paramedics on call at all times for the Bowen ambulance service, but there is no guarantee that one of them will be local.

The team is made up of two levels of paramedics: Emergency Medical Responders, who have completed a roughly two-week training course; and Primary Care Paramedics, who train for four months. They are trained to perform a range of medical procedures, including inserting an IV, and giving patients medica-tion for asthma, pain and low blood-sugar. If a situa-tion requires someone with a higher level of training, the responding paramedics will call for an Advanced or Critical Care Paremedic, who will be brought to the scene by helicopter. However, these can only be called in once the local paramedics have arrived at the emer-gency and evaluated its severity.

Donohue says that it is not unheard of for patients to simply skip calling 911, and come directly to the

Ambulance Station on Miller Road.“There’s no walk-in clinic on the island, so in a way

this place acts as a substitute,” he says. “Often times, people come in with cuts that they want sutured, but we’re not qualified to do that so we recommend they go to the hospital.”

He says that during his recent stint on Bowen, he’s seen a toddler brought in with burns caused by a wood stove, and someone with chest pains who was driving to the ferry but missed it. The ambulance ser-vice got this patient on the emergency water taxi and then in an ambulance to the hospital.

As far as the challenges regarding getting to a desti-nation in a timely manner, Donohue says the problem is not unique to Bowen.

“It’s a rural problem,” he says.Colleen O’Neil says she hopes a call to the BC

Ambulance Service with regards to updating GPS soft-ware will help deliver a solution.

From Spider Robinson, about his experience being transported to the hospital following his

heart attack in August:

I’d had no idea the water taxi could go that fast, or that an ambulance could hit speeds that high through a townful

of drunks on a Saturday night!

ROOTS ON THE ROCKS U B M I T T E D

To kick the New Year off right, “Roots on the Rock” is standing by to welcome one of the acoustic world’s top ranked mandolin players. John Reischman is renowned for his taste, tone and impeccable musicianship. On Sunday, January 5th, 2:00 p.m., at Tir Na Nog Theatre, John will be joined by his new band, The Pine Siskins.

An original member of the legend-ary Tony Rice Unit, Reischman helped to define the “new acoustic” instru-mental scene in the early 1980s with appearances on the band’s ground-breaking Rounder albums “Still Inside” and “Backwaters”. He cemented his reputation touring and recording for many years with the Bay Area’s eclec-tic Good Ol’ Persons before moving to Vancouver in the early 90s to pursue a solo career.

John Reischman’s mastery of the instrument is showcased today in two primary musical outlets – the Juno-nominated bluegrass band John Reischman and the Jaybirds, and his instrumental duo with highly-regarded acoustic guitar stylist John Miller.

This show will be a lovely relax-ing and entertaining way to end off the winter holidays and rejuvenate the spirit. We are lucky to have John Reishman and his band in our midst and Roots on the Rocks trusts that a hearty Bowen audience will show the band our best practices in welcoming excellent musicianship.

John Reischman and the Pine Siskins will be Tir Na Nog Theatre on Sunday, January 5th at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are $20.00 and can be reserved by calling Lorraine at 604-947-2061 or they will be available at the door.

BOWEN ISLAND ARTS COUNCILS U B M I T T E D

Sometimes luck can strike twice. For the second time in a six month period Bowen Islanders will be lucky enough to hear the Duo Luminara play classical music for them. Their concert will be at 3.30 pm at Cates Hill Chapel on Sunday 12 of January. The two members of the Duo Luminara, flutist, Heather Beaty and harpist Elisa Thorn were last on Bowen at the well-received concert held at Wonderland in September 2013. Wonderland is the home of Ross and Trisha Beaty, Heather’s parents.

While both Heather and Elisa have been playing music since they were children, they did not meet one anoth-er until 2007 when then began playing together during their studies at the University of British Columbia. Later on they started working as a recital

duo and have been doing that for num-ber of years in and around the lower mainland. They both have also had international experience. The Duo are currently working on the release of their first CD together.

When they were on Bowen last year a friend, guitarist Stanton C. Jack, also came with them to perform. Now Stanton Jack and Heather have just formed a new group, the Duo Trovador, and as this Duo will also play together on January 12th.

Stanton Jack had been described by the CBC as, “One of the new genera-tion of Canadian classical guitarists. He combines technical excellence with musical sensitivity, expressed through the uniquely rich and varied tonal lan-guage of the guitar.”

Tickets are available on the Bowen Island Arts Council website, at the Gallery@Artisan Square, and at the door. Doors opens at 3 pm.

DEB STRINGFELLOWC O N T R I B U T O R

The Bowen Island Football Club, like most non-profit organizations, relies on the dedication of volun-teers for success. Giving back to the club their skills, talent and time are two local high school students, Peter Goumeniouk and Devon Thomson.

They started coaching for BIFC in the fall. Working closely with the development groups ranging in age from four to eight, these young coaches inspire the kids with their abilities and knowledge of the game.

Peter started playing soccer on Bowen when he was four, long before the club officially was established. When he could no longer play on-island, he joined a team in West Vancouver.

“Back then we use to play with little wooden goal posts on half the grass field; now I’m playing metro. It's a bit of a commute but its worth it,” he says. Now 17, Peter plays for the FC U-18 Metro, a West Vancouver team called the Rangers. His accom-plishments include, being an AA Provincial Cup Commissioners' 16 award recipient and a past four-district champion.

Peter’s soccer technique is impressive but when coaching this age group it's all about patience and attitude. “Even if they are not always keen on being out there playing soccer, they are always happy. It's really nice to see and it does rub off on you. Even if you are tired and it's been a long day and they haven’t been listening to you, at the end they all come in together and hug you. Then we do a big cheer and it's fun.”

When Devon first came to Bowen he joined the Under 8 team coached by Gian Perroni. Now 15 years old and a student at Rockridge Secondary, Devon has been playing soccer for 10 years. His accomplish-ments include a first- and second-place community cup. For the last three years he has been playing out-side his age group with ease and his sportsmanship on the field is impeccable.

Devon has a natural way with the kids but admits that coaching is harder than he had thought it would be.

“Over time soccer moves become automatic, but when you have to explain it you need to break it down into small parts and it actually teaches you how to do every little step,” he says. His coaching style is simple but very effective:

“Make them excited. If you are excited they are excited and then everyone works really well together.”

Both Peter and Devon have very busy academic and soccer lives outside the club. BIFC is very for-tunate to have had them coach the U6, U8 and U10 developmental groups. The club has also implement-ed a mentoring program to encourage the younger league members to assist the coaches with this age group. The mentor's role is to help keep the kids under control, encourage them and to demonstrate moves. This mentoring program has proven very suc-cessful and the energy the mentors bring to the field is infectious, right down to the youngest of players.

The next development session will start in April 2014. For more information about BIFC and to regis-ter please visit www.bowenfc.com.]

Dear Editor,

On behalf of the Friends of Mannion Bay (FMB), after many years of urging and badgering three levels of government and agencies to sup-port us in our efforts to clean up and preserve Mannion Bay, I am pleased to advise, in January we will be launching a joint campaign with the municipality to raise $50,000+ for this expensive undertaking.

Getting traction for an initiative of the nature has not been easy both because of the multitude of regulatory entities involved and the signifi-cant cost. All too often the FMB, not to men-tion numerous similar groups up and down the West Coast and across Canada, have felt we were a voice for action and reason in the wilderness. Thanks to the recent high priority of council, Transport Canada, the Ministry of Land and Natural Resource Operations (provincial) we can now move forward, as a unified group to address the abuse and misuse of the Bay and beaches which are not, and have not been for a long time, inviting, environmentally friendly or safe for use either by locals or tourists.

As the FMB have a history of being an active, hands-on part of the solution, while we would love the governments to incur the full cost of the initiative, that is not fair to the taxpayers and nor would it happen without support from the public, hence our willingness to spearhead the fundrais-ing campaign, donations for which qualify for an income tax receipt. Cheques should be made pay-able to Bowen Island Municipality and earmarked “Mannion Bay”.

The launch for the fundraising will take place at the January 13th council meeting with a short FMB presentation to the Council including the gifting of a framed portrait of Joseph Mannion, by a great grandson of this island icon, to the Bowen Island Historians. Much to our delight one of Joe’s grandsons will attend to both express the family’s dismay for the condition of the Bay and the fact that is about to change for the good.

Yours truly,

Bruce RussellFMB Spokesperson

Dear Editor,

I can understand that the directors of BIIA are upset and angry about the "shut up" incident and the attention it attracted. Between them they con-tributed considerable time, money, heart and energy to Mr Adelaar's election campaign and I'm sure they feel invested in his success as mayor.  And in the scale of things the 'shut up' incident, while shock-ing and outrageous, was not really headline worthy beyond our small island, and in itself, it shouldn't define Mr Adelaar's tenure as mayor.  

Having said that, BIIA dragging the whole sorry incident up again threatens to do just that. But that is for BIIA to worry about. My concern is this: Setting aside the absurdity of the suggestion that I control the mayor's behaviour, and further, that I can influence the national news cycle, I am deeply concerned about the insinuation that I have con-spired to undermine Mr Adelaar's reputation in the community and thrown him under the bus to raise my own 'profile'...nationally? For what? For the record, I have always taken care to speak respect-fully to and about all councillors, including Mr Adelaar, especially when disagreeing.  This prin-ciple is important to me and I am dismayed that my personal integrity should be publicly questioned to serve BIIA's purpose of justifying Mayor Adelaar's incivility.

So here I am, breaking my long silence to object. I let the 'shut up' incident pass without comment.  I let the subsequent slander and cyber-bullying pass without comment. I let the non-apology letter pass without comment.  I let the BIIA mailer pass with-out comment.  But now Mr Long bragging about the reach of BIIA's defamatory claims, and alluding to the substance of their accusations in our local paper is just too much.

Have the members of BIIA forgotten that they are also members of a tiny community on a tiny island, and that publishing these baseless accusations impacts, not some distant politician in Ottawa, but a real person within our community? That the mis-trust and contempt that they sow will likely find its way to the ears of my children at school? That play-ing divide and conquer negatively impacts us all? As a community, we must be committed to treating our neighbours with respect and hold each other to that standard. Discuss issues, don't attack individuals. BIIA, please desist.

Yours truly,Melissa Harrison

To the Editor,

I was gratified to find that Rondy Dike (letters 27 December) disapproves of my site www.thecape-onbowenisland.com , without managing to claim that any of the points I make there are false. I was slightly puzzled, though. Given my purposes, his publicity can only further the aims of the site. Does he not see what these are? I will leave this as a little brain-teaser for him.

Yours sincerely,

After leading the Weight Watchers meeting on Bowen Island for the last 12 years, we will be tak-ing a break and closing the local meeting for the time being.  If you are one of those in the commu-nity who have thought about joining, but never did, we hope to start up again in the spring if there is enough interest.  Special thanks to Louise Ferguson, our dedicated receptionist all these years. And to all those members who have made the meetings so wonderful and lively!  I hope you all continue on your journey to health!

Sincerely,Angie Bosworth

A banner year for Bowen Heritage

Big steps towards better health care on Bowen

BOWEN HERITAGES U B M I T T E D

It’s been a productive year for Bowen Heritage, with some Metro Vancouver initiatives promising positive change in Crippen Park.

Early in the year, Bowen Heritage prepared a paper for Metro Vancouver Parks on the heritage cottages and orchard, including documentation of the status of the cottages, the costs and tasks involved in their restoration and/or rebuilding, and three options for moving forward. In the fall, after consultation with Bowen Island Municipal Council and Bowen Heritage, Metro took the important step of invit-ing expressions of interest (EOI) for upgrading the cottages and operating the two-acre orchard area of the park. The EOI responses are currently under review by Metro. We’ve been assured that Bowen Heritage will continue to play its role as a park part-ner involved in the restoration of the heritage cot-tages and in the planning and delivery of community events and programs in the orchard.

A second initiative relates to “BeeGee,” the ruined cottage at the entrance to Crippen Park and adjacent to the now-restored Seaside Cottage. In fall, BeeGee was assessed by architect Barry McGinn of McGinn Engineering and Preservation, with several options

identified for potential restoration and/or rebuilding.Our community events and programs followed the

usual rhythm. Along with the Bowen Island Museum and Archives, we participated in Heritage Week in the early spring. Our annual general meeting in April featured an update on the island’s heritage inven-tory, with speakers Tim Rhodes and Peter Vaisbord. Summer brought SteamShip Days and the remarkable energy of Rebecca Henderson, who hosted heritage teas for Islanders and visitors every day at Cottage 20 in the Davies Heritage Orchard. Fall was bright-ened by our annual harvest festival, Applefest, which again included the final farmers’ market of the year from the Bowen Agricultural Alliance and attracted hundreds of lovers of all things apple. Heritage vol-unteers cooked up 67 apple pies—and we sold them all. At the end of November, we opened the Museum Cottage for Light Up Bowen and welcomed guests to a heritage Christmas.

What’s next? Our first event of the new year is a heritage social for members, friends, and future members. The social will be at the Museum Cottage (Cottage 10) on Saturday, January 18, from 3 to 5 p.m. We’re actively recruiting new board members, and we would welcome more volunteers to help with our events and programs, including “Heritage Afloat” and our 25th anniversary celebration. Please stop by for a cup of cheer and a chat.

CARING CIRCLES U B M I T T E D

In the 20 months since its inception, members of the Caring Circle’s Advisory Board have been working vigorously to determine health needs and to facilitate access to health and wellness information on Bowen.

The first initiative was the publication of the Bowen Island Health Resource Guide in March. The idea grew out of a recommendation by the “2009 Age Friendly Report to Council” which stated that Bowen Islanders needed a guide to help them navigate through the complexity of the health system.

In February, Colleen O’Neil, a retired RN, took on the job of health navigator/coordinator to assist peo-ple in accessing the health information they require.

Most recently, Caring Circle has been actively participating in the Vancouver Coastal Health’s “My Health, My Community” survey, which is designed to inform the Ministry of Health about gaps in health services.

VCH was hoping for a four percent response rate from Bowen Island, which would be approximately 110 adults. 400 people on Bowen have filled out the survey.

VCH has informed Bowen, that because of our “robust response rate”, they will be able to give us the results of the survey early in the new year. The Clinic Action Committee will use those results to determine if there are serious concerns around health care on Bowen, and whether a clinic would address some of

our concerns. Unfortunately the one gap in community input has

been from “Males Age 18 to 29”. Because many men in this age group are in the construction industry it is likely that having an urgent care clinic on-island to respond to injuries will be very relevant to them. So, if anyone has a young man in their family or knows of someone in this age group, would you please urge them to log onto www.myhealthmycommunity.org and complete this survey

There have been a number of other projects that Caring Circle has initiated. After hearing of people who have no reliable means of getting to health-related appointments both on Bowen and on the Mainland, Caring Circle has launched a driver pro-gram initiative.

And, very recently, Caring Circle is in conversa-tion with the Canadian Mental Health Association and some interested clinical counsellors and psychi-atric nurses on Bowen to organize a support group on Island for people with depression and anxiety. We hope to have our first group meeting by early February.

We invite you to visit us, Monday, Wednesday and Friday, at the blue Heritage Cottage behind the Library, when Caring Circle re-opens on January 6. Share your concerns, challenge us with your ques-tions, and spend some time in our resource library. Our coordinator can also help you find informa-tion on the computer. Caring Circle is your health resource centre and welcomes people of all ages.

THE FIND: Stoneware Oktoberfest beer mugs

THE STORY: Bob is a dedicated beer-lover who has attended Oktoberfest in Munich eight times. He says mugs like this used to be the standard for serving beer at the festival, but people get beer in glass mugs. Bob did not find these at the Nook himself, but rather, under the Christmas tree. A well-recieved present from his loving partner, Jen, Bob says that these mugs may in fact kick-off his official collection of Oktoberfest beer steins.
