North Islander, September 9, 2014

During the early fall of 2012 the weather was so good that the bird migration completely bypassed Vancouver Island. With no birds to photograph I turned to butter-flies, and it didn’t take long to get hooked. Over the winter I discov-ered that 18 out of the 70 species recorded on Vancouver Island were species of concern because they were threatened, extir-pated, or critically endangered, and many other species were experiencing population declines. Unfortunately, butterflies are defenceless and extremely vul-nerable. They are under siege at all stages of their lives from parasites, predators, and inclem-ent weather conditions. Those that survive the natural enemies must face the gauntlet of human hazards like habitat destruction, pesticide spraying, and habitat loss from human introduced inva-sive plants.

Despite the fact that butterflies are among the most beautiful, fascinating, and charismatic crea-tures on earth, most people know very little about them. Part of the problem is that they are only vis-ible when they are flying adults, and that can be as short as a few days for some species. For the rest of their lives they are invisible as eggs, larvae, or pupae. Although my first intention was to simply enjoy photographing and learn-

ing about butterflies, I knew I had to do more. While most of the world was drinking champagne and singing Auld Lang Syne at the dawn of 2013, I made the New Year’s resolution to dedicate the next two years to increasing pub-lic awareness about butterflies.

My motto for birds is, “People can only care about what they know about,” and that is just as import-ant for butterflies. Obviously, if we have no idea what butterflies we have, where they live, and what they require for survival, it is difficult to protect them.

For the past two years I have been writing newspaper articles, uploading photos and journals to my website, and working on the book Vancouver Island Butterflies. I know my efforts will only be a drop in the ocean, but it is what I do best, and it is better than doing nothing. I am pleased to say that many people have shown their interest with comments about my articles, and I had many requests for the free butterfly poster and checklist files. As well, the best laid plans of mice and men are occasion-ally successful, and I am happy to report that my book is right on schedule.

After thousands of kilometres of paved and gravel roads, several hikes up Mt. Cokely, and more than a few trips to Whistler and other off-Island locations for spe-cies that were difficult or impos-sible to find on the Island, I am happy to report that I have seen 60 of our 70 species and managed decent photos of 55. In anticipa-tion that I wouldn’t be able to find all our species I was able to purchase or borrow photos from other photographers for the final 15. The book has been designed, the photos placed, and the write-ups completed. All that remains is the final proofing, editing, and printing, and it will be a wrap. If all goes well, the book will be pub-lished at the end of October.

Editor’s note: Mike Yip is the author of Vancouver Island Birds. His books are available at Gra-ham’s Jewellers, Blue Heron Books, CR Museum, Save On Foods, Coho Books, and Book Bonanza.

The book cover features a Zerene Fritillary, one of the rare and endangered species on the Vancouver Island list.

Tuesday, September 9, 2014 North Islander 3

Variety, as the saying goes, is the spice of life, one of them anyway. Assuming the saying contains a kernel of truth my fish-ing life was fairly spicy over the month of August this year as it certainly encom-passed some variety. Like an increasing number of fishing guides these days I keep a logbook for DFO and in review-ing and organizing the monthly trip logs before sending them in I was struck by how much terrain I covered – lucky me!

Over the month I fished from the main-land shore adjacent to Bute Inlet out to the 50 Fathom Line some 10 plus miles offshore from Kyuquot over on WCVI and a fair number of places in between. These included various locations in the lower straits and adjoining channels above Campbell River, the Fransisco Point to Green Can and Hump arc around the south end of Quadra Island, Tyee Pool and then from the surfline at Spring Island on outward when fishing from Kyuquot.

I don’t profess to be an expert at any of these locations, in fact none at all, but after 40 seasons on the water feel experi-enced enough to have faith that, assuming there’s some fish present to be caught, I have a decent chance of some success across that large stretch of territory. For someone like me who grew up elsewhere and just wanted to go fishing from an early age that’s a satisfying realization.

Like so many others who have tried there this season, the one place I’ve been skunked to date this season is Tyee Pool where for some reason the chinook sal-mon returning to the Campbell River itself don’t appear to be holding in the number usually associated with this time of year. Hopefully things will change now that we’re into the final two weeks (one week by the time this is in print) of the Tyee Club season, anyway time will tell.

Conversely, and like so many others, I’ve certainly experienced some productive sockeye fishing recently, mostly not too

far above Seymour Narrows. The daily test fishing conducted under the direc-tion of the Pacific Salmon Commission was registering strong catches into early September, in part due to the nearly 100 per cent inside diversion rate, and the commercial total allowable catch was increased once again last Friday, to nearly 9.5 million sockeye.

This TAC is beginning to approach the actual commercial harvest (10+ million) of Fraser sockeye in 2010 during the so-called “biggest return in a century”, so although the 2014 return hasn’t yet lived up to some of the largest forecast pos-sibilities it is certainly a big run by any standards.

Despite the most recent run-size increase the last time I fished above Sey-mour Narrows (05/09) the trip seemed to portend change. Sockeye were scarce, in fact I had three times as many coho – all wild – as sockeye and I encountered my first chum salmon of the year. It really felt like the sockeye run was all but over with and I can only hope that it won’t be another four years before we get another opportunity to take some of these deli-cious salmon home.

Notwithstanding the goings on, or lack thereof, in Tyee Pool and the adjacent Campbell River waterfront the chinook fishing in most places was good or better during August.

I don’t fish there too often in mid-sum-mer but I spent three days fishing near Stuart Island at the beginning of August and the chinook fishing was better than I anticipated. Even I managed to boat three fish one day and some of my fellow guides on the party, who fish there regularly, did better some days. As well there were some nice coho to be caught and the abil-ity to retain one wild fish per angler each day has perhaps benefited that area more than most. Anyway, It was a good start to the month for me.

The fishing around the bottom end of Quadra Island was periodically productive off and on throughout the month, with fish keying on the large schools of herring present around the drop-offs edging Wilby Shoals. Action now will shift more to coho

What’s the big attraction of diamonds? Well, they’re daz-zlingly beautiful for one thing. Then there’s their relative rarity. And then there’s the hardness. Diamonds have the highest hard-ness and thermal conductivity of any bulk material. Their very name comes from the Ancient Greek word ‘adamas’ meaning ‘unbreakable’.

Amazing how the human head can be turned by a miniscule chunk of glorified coal. That’s all a diamond is – a lump of coal that’s

been to college. A ‘metastable allo-trope of carbon’, if you want to get fancy. A diamond is only a few electrons apart from the carbon that makes up a lump of coal or the tube of graphite in your pencil, but that’s like saying a carafe of cider vinegar and a bottle of Cha-teau Lafitte 1987 are kissing cous-ins. It’s true, but it’s misleading.

Besides, it takes a lot longer to make a diamond than to turn out a premium wine – about two bil-lion years longer, give or take a bil-lion. Diamonds are like geological tarts baked under great heat and intense pressure for millennia near the Earth’s core.

It’s only thanks to subterranean volcanic eruptions and random magma upheavals that diamonds ever get close to the earth’s

surface.Yet Mother Earth has spewed up

some beauties – like the Cullinan diamond. In 1905 a South African mine inspector making the rounds spotted a wink of light on the wall of a mineshaft. It was so bright he figured it was a piece of glass put there by a practical joker. Using his pen knife he winkled out the largest gem quality diamond ever found – more than half a kilo and the size of a football.

Nothing like the Cullinan has been dug up in Canada, but we’re doing alright in the diamond biz. Canada is the third-largest diamond producer in the world. It doesn’t get a lot of news play because all the action is in the far north, where diamond mines have been pumping billions of dollars

into the Canadian economy since they started up less than 25 years ago.

Humans are nuts about dia-monds. Indian rajahs were giving them to their sweeties centuries ago. Napoleon wooed Josephine with a diamond necklace. Rich-ard Burton dropped a rock on Liz Taylor, bragging “this diamond has so many carats it’s practically a turnip”.

It was pretty big alright – more than 64 carats – but it was no Cullinan.

And the Cullinan, come to that, is no PSR J1719-1948.

That is the astonishingly unsexy name of the most humongous dia-mond ever discovered. Big? PSR J1719-1948 makes the Cullinan look like a sesame seed. No – like

a fleck of dandruff. Like a...like agas molecule! PSR J1719-1948 is – bear with me now – five timesthe size of planet earth.

Unfortunately for would-beexploiters, PSR J1719-1948 is a bit of a commute. It resides in the Ser-pens Claudia constellation whichis part of our Milky Way galaxy. That’s not important. What’simportant is: it’s a planet. A planetthat is One. Pure. Diamond.

Now there’s a diamond in the sky for Lucy. Or maybe for Marilyn. She purred it best:

“A kiss on the cheek might be quite continental

But diamonds are a girl’s best friend.”

A 696 page book on economics is unlikely to be a publishing sensa-tion. But Thomas Piketty’s Capital in the Twenty-First Century is an exception. It quickly climbed to best seller status in 2014 and has stayed there for months. Anyone who gives a serious thought to economics has found this difficult book by an obscure French pro-fessor to be mandatory reading. Scholars have ranked it as one of the most important books in economic history, placing it in the rarified company of such seminal thinkers as Adam Smith, David Ricardo and Karl Marx.

Why all the attention? First, Cap-ital in the Twenty-First Century explains, with simple elegance, why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, a fundamental social problem that has fomented civil unrest in the past, is irritat-ing modern cultures today, and is becoming an increasingly acute malaise as we wade further into the 21st century. Second, unlike most books on economics, Piketty has reversed the usual process of advancing a theory and then cor-relating it to reality. Instead, he

and his team undertook 17 years of exhaustive research that labori-ously analyzed the history of taxa-tion in almost 30 countries — the emphasis was on France, Britain and America during the last 300 years — and then drew conclu-sions from the evidence. This empirical approach gives his ideas a special credibility that author-izes a thoughtful re-evaluation of modern economic practice. Third, Piketty has established that wealth inequality rises as an unregulated capitalist economy matures, the opposite of most current theory. And fourth, Piketty is not a Marx-ist describing a doomed system; he is an avowed capitalist who is trying to identify its faults so the economic system can be adjusted to become more stable, sustainable and beneficial.

So, why do the rich get richer and the poor get poorer? Simply put, the rate of return on capital tends to exceed that of economic growth. Everyone without money to invest — the wage-earners whose prosperity is directly linked to the gradual increase in society’s collective wealth — finds that their rising prosperity is routinely sur-passed by those who have money to invest. Over a period of time, the gulf between the rich and the poor widens.

This widening gulf eventually has dire social consequences. The eco-

nomic bifurcation — the division of people into two disconnected groups — ultimately culminates in antagonism. Social order is based on an underlying principle of fair-ness; when that fairness is violated by excessive differences between those who have more than they can even spend and those who struggle in economic distress to satisfy even basic needs, then the result can be an uprising against an unjust system. According to Piketty, the economic distance between the rich and poor today is almost exactly what it was in 1789 at the beginning of the French Revolution.

Revolution is only one of the uncomfortable forces that can level the economic differences between the rich and poor. Some of the economic disparity of so-called Gilded Age — the few dec-ades prior to 1914 when about one per cent of the population owned about 50 per cent of all wealth in Europe and North America — was levelled by the First World War. The distance that was rebuilding between the rich and poor shrank again with the hyper-inflation of the Great Depression of 1929 — the two economic classes moved closer together because the rich lost pro-portionally more wealth than the poor. The Second World War also inspired social changes that eased the distinction between the two economic classes. This levelling

trend continued until about 1970 when taxation and wage policies flatlined the income of the middle class and the distance between the rich and poor began to increase again. The gulf has now widened sufficiently that Piketty antici-pates trouble — he uses the word “terrified” to describe his concern that, once again, the past will “devour the future”.

The difference in wealth also causes trouble indirectly. As the rich get richer, they accrue more political power. Economic and policy controls, even in democratic societies, shift toward those with money, toward the billionaires and corporations that gain a dispropor-tionate influence over political pro-cesses. The shrinking middle class and the expanding populations of the relatively poor lose influence and autonomy over their own lives. The facade of fairness can only be maintained for so long before dissatisfaction and discontent cre-ate tensions that rise to explosive levels. The rich don’t want to yield power and the poor won’t tolerate the inequality. History, according to Piketty’s research, suggests the resolution can be messy.

Piketty doesn’t explore the environmental ramifications of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer, but they are fairly obvious. Because invested capital wants to maximize returns,

it engineers and maintains a cul-ture of consumerism and resource extraction. Oil, gas and coal are the traditional and entrenched energy sources closely linked to the entire economic structure generating profit for the wealthy. Furthermore, the vast amounts of superfluous capital accrued by the wealthy must be put to use. This insatiable quest to optimize profits is always seeking and devis-ing lucrative places to invest. Not surprisingly, nature is routinely assaulted by ingenious profit-pro-ducing schemes. Moreover, the pace of exploitation rises to match the ascending amounts of invested capital, and global climate change becomes exceedingly difficult to stop. Predictably, those with heavy investments offer stiff resistance to any social, economic, structural or environmental changes that attempt to redesign the existing system — even though the changes are intended to make the system more sustainable, they are invari-ably interpreted as disruptive and threatening to invested capital.

Piketty’s book has stimulated many ideas for a more equitable distribution of wealth and a wiser utilization of capital. A capitalism improved by closer supervision, tighter controls and clearer guid-ance would better serve society and the planet. The alternative, to use his word, is “terrifying”.

Ardent Angler from page 4.and at times there’s good numbers showing in the shallows closer to shore, just like the days of yesteryear.

It’ll be really interesting to see what the August creel survey comes up with for Area 25 because the estimated return of chinook salmon to the inner Nootka Sound area is very large at about 90,000 fish. The strong return there adds to the puzzle of the reverse situation off the mouth of the Campbell Riv-er itself because the two stocks of chinooks have a very similar ocean distribution and are subject to much the same threats and

opportunities during their years at sea.The big news from Nootka in recent weeks

has been the arrival of Albacore, a.k.a. long-fin tuna, close enough to shore that sport fishing boats have been able to target them, weather and sea conditions permitting. Sev-eral boats out of Tahsis have returned with a dozen or more tuna for a day trip. This is really fishing out on the frontier, limited as much as anything by the fuel cost to run outside and troll at relatively high speed all day. All the same I look forward to giving this emerging fishery a go.

Next up – fall fishing!

It’s Anniversary Time at the Pearl Ellis Gallery

Come view the work in this spe-cial members’ show from September 9th to September 28th and help celebrate the Pearl’s 36th anniversary of operation in Comox.

Visitors to the gallery will be treated to a tremendous variety of artistic styles and media.

Artists such as Ruth Poirier (2014 People’s Choice winner), Bev Johnston, Channing Holland, Judi Pedder, Hans Larsen, and Sofie Skapski, just to mention a few will be displaying their work.

This is an all media show and visitors will see works in oil, acryl-ic, watercolor, fabric, and photogra-phy.

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

As well, this year marks the eighth 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 beginning in 2007 the gallery has given out $13,000.00 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 dis-played in the hallway showcases. These exhibits along with the art-work 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 one artist is featured at the Library.

There will be a “reception” on Saturday afternoon, September 13th from 1-4 pm.

Come out, meet the artists, and have a piece of the delicious anni-versary cake that will be provided by Quality Foods.

During the afternoon all pur-chases of art by members or any-one 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), admission is free.

FMI see our virtual gallery on our website at www.pearlel-lisgallery.com or visit our face-book page. The gallery now offers free Wi-Fi.

The House of Now in downtown Courtenay is hosting “Healthy Living Experts Forum” a live monthly forum where the Community meets our Leading Community Health Experts. Sunday September 14 from 10 am - 12:40 pm, the Experts Forum will host its 4th event, offering a vibrant hub of health and learning in the community.

Developed by Arrow Gonsalves, owner of The House of Now and Heart Drum Beat - Taoist Yoga and Healing Services the forum embraces the principle that the health of soci-ety begins with the self. Gonsalves says; “The goal is to strengthen and encourage Comox Valley residents in their individual process of health and ultimately their level of societal awareness so that a greater vibrancy of com-munity may also take place.”

Each monthly session features area Experts in fields related to Individual, family, commu-nity or societal health.

This month’s experts are: Cynthia Fitton: LUSH Valley Food Action

Society “Learn About Our Programs and Services

That Help Strengthen Personal and Community Food Security”

Pieter Vorster: Continual Palingenesis“Community Way $ - Make Some Change”Roberta Meilleur: CBP. Par.BP “Joy: A Shortcut to Our Survival and Thrive-

al”Katie White: RMT, HTP“How Eating For Your Dosha Balances

Mind, Body and Spirit”Roger Albert: Comox Valley Social Planning

Society“Our Moral Walls and the Walking Dead”Arrow Gonsalves: Heart Drum Beat“How to Awaken Your Healer Within with

Yoga, Kigong, Sound and Meditation”Topics are 20 minutes in length and can be

delivered as either a lecture, demonstration or participatory training. Each month a different roster of experts gathers to represent a wide variety of topics ranging from individual health to societal philosophy. They are deliv-ering their skills from platforms representing both modern sciences and traditional wis-doms, ultimately dissolving the boundaries of “conventional and alternative practices” in pursuit of the greater whole.

The lectures and trainings can be simple, complex, serious or fun and joyous, there is place for everything, creating balance and optimizing the learning experience.

This is a great opportunity for the commu-nity to meet and learn from our Experts, and for our Experts to contribute their knowledge and skills to the greater community.

The event is sponsored by Heart Drum Beat - Taoist Yoga & Healing Services. Catering Sponsor, LUSH Valley Food Action Society will provide delicious and healthy snacks... there will have a break midway through the forum, as well as a short time to mingle after.

There is a small fee to attend, $7.00 advance and $9.00 at the door, making the forum affordable, and still sustainable to purchase production related equipment and marketing materials moving forward.

Space is limited, so pre-registration is encouraged.

The Experts Forum is held on the second Sunday every month at The House of Now, 536 Fifth Street in downtown Courtenay.

For Island youth dancers seeking opportunities to work with world-class choreographers and guest teachers, to experience a professional working envi-ronment and to enjoy the camaraderie of other like-minded and talented dancers, Dancestreams Youth Dance Company offers it all!

Founded in 1985 to enhance and expand on the studio experience for some of the Island’s most dedi-cated dancers, it has also served to bring back to Island communities the chance to see contemporary dance created by some of Canada’s top choreogra-phers.

Dancestreams has assisted a steady stream of amazing dancers to continue on to professional careers in dance, while others have taken their expe-riences and lessons (teamwork, dedication, passion, attention to detail) on to outstanding careers outside of dance, including an extraordinary number of uni-versity professors.

By bringing the wider dance community to the dancer, young teens can experience what many in the big cities do not- highly acclaimed professionals shar-ing their talents with youth.

Dancestreams is the performing group attached to the Vancouver Island Youth Dance Theatre Association, a registered non-profit charity organiza-tion. Each year, a new crop of talented young people age 12- 18 from a variety of communities and schools are welcomed into the fold, to work together for six hours every Sunday.

Rotating rehearsals between the home towns of participating dancers ensures everyone shares the travel.

The group has been fortunate to work with some of the world’s best, including Wen-Wei Wang, Joe Laughlin, Bengt Jorgen, Louis-Martin Charest, Serge Bennathan, and many more.

They have performed annually throughout Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands and Lower Mainland and occasionally further afield. Major tours have included China, Los Angeles, Maritimes, Germany and Belgium. Wherever they have trav-elled, the group has received rave reviews.

The Company is known and widely revered throughout Canada, and has recently been awarded a BC Arts Council grant to continue to bring amazing new choreography to Island teens and audiences.

An audition for young hopefuls will take place on Sunday, September 14th at Qualicum Beach School of Dance, from 11 am - 2:15 pm.

Those planning to attend are asked to pre-register by calling the Artistic Director Pattie MacKenzie at 250-723-9525 or emailing [email protected].
