Designing a brochure that stands out in a sea of brochures is a fine challenge. Here I used an almost-full-frame professional photo for

the cover shot, supported by a gridded collage of location shots taken point-and-shoot style. Rumour has it the combination is working!

A good educ Ation system provides opportunity and keeps our communities vibrant. It attracts fami-lies and encourages them to stay – and that is vital for

economic regeneration.But School Boards 72, 84 and

85 have to deal with the govern-ment funding formula that’s based on the number of students in a district. So rural schools inevitably get less because they have fewer students. In addition, the government has downloaded a variety of costs on school boards meaning even less money goes into the classroom.

We must change the funding formula to make sure students who live in the North Island get equal-ity of opportunity from the day they start school until the day they graduate.

Educationclosed emergency rooms, cancelled surgeries and the continuing debate about building our new re-gional hospital in Campbell River increase the vul-

nerability of North Islanders. That’s why I continue to fight for our new hospital – and call

for it to be a publicly funded building. It’s why I’m insisting the government make keeping emergency rooms open a top priority. It’s why we have to look at different ways of providing care in rural communi-ties, such as home support and nurse practitioners.

Health care

It’s a pleasure to work for everyone in the North Island to build communities in which wewant to live, work and raise our families. Young or old, unemployed or working, everyone has

a contribution to make to our society;and I’m always willing to listen.

our forests Are the bAckbone of the North Is-land. Our communities depend on them: we hike, camp and hunt in them; we kayak through their

magnificence; and, we harvest them. They are our environmental core and a central economic resource.

This is why we need to have a comprehensive plan for our forest land base that accommodates these different needs. We must ensure we use and develop these largely crown lands in the best inter-

est of our communities.This means examining

tenure to bring local control to communities, not just cor-porations. It means ensuring harvesting and manufacturing are linked. It means realizing that sometimes more value can be earned by leaving trees standing than logging them.

We need to embrace a vision which will allow our forests to sustain us and the many genera-tions that follow us.

thousAnds of people l ive and work in ferry de-pendent communities. Like people living elsewhere

in BC, they should be able to travel without having to pay massive tolls.

Ferries are part of our highway system. They are vital for the health, welfare and economic well-being of many North Island com-munities. It’s past time that BC Ferries – and the government – recognize that fact; and instead of gouging ferry users, concentrate on ensuring our Island communities stay viable.

ployers have obligations; both

should be respected.

CLAIRE TREVENA MLA Report from North Island

I’ve been talking with forest companies, with workers and

with communities about how

we can get and maintain a balance: we need people out

harvesting, but we also need manufacturing. And we need

to come to a common under-standing about what we are

talking about when we cite sustainable logging.

BC roads and ferries essential for

North Islanders’ prosperity

“I’m looking forward togetting back to the Legis-

lature in February so I can represent the interests of

people across the North Island. Your voice has been

silenced since the govern-ment snubbed democracy

and refused to reconvene since May; it will be heard

strongly again in the spring session.”

I was honoured to be able to

present four of the Queen’s Di-

amond Jubilee Medals to North

Islanders at the end of the year.

I asked an independent panel

to nominate the four recipients

and was pleased to celebrate

the day with them at both Campbell River Museum and at

U’Mista in Alert Bay.

across the constituency about that crumbling infrastructure. Meet-

ings to discuss the future of ferries

were overflowing and the echoing

comment I heard was that the sys-

Tahsis and Zeballos it was continu-

sReport from

CLAIRE Trevena MLA North Island

One Of the real pleasures Of being the Mla for the North

Island is the opportunity to

get out into the constituency

to meet with individuals and

organizations. It’s a chance

to talk about what’s working

and what is needed, to work

together to find solutions.

the MOMentuM against the nOrthern gateway pipeline and maintaining the moratorium on tanker traffic off our coast is continuing. I was very pleased to attend the rally outside the Legislature in the autumn and saw many people who made the trip down from the North Island. And it was great to

have such a big turnout to the rally just two days later at my office in Campbell River. Our environment critic Rob Fleming also came here to talk about the problems with the Enbridge project. We need to protect our environment, to respect First Nations and have the courage to stand up to the federal government on issues that significantly impact our province.

i have been talking educatiOn with teachers, supervisors, parents and educators. I’ve been visiting both elementary and high schools around the North Island and have had the pleasure of talking with students in class. Ensuring equality of access to education is paramount for the health of our society now and in the future. That means we should be investing in our kids before they go to school through high quality public early care and learning programmes and, where needed, early intervention. It means enabling teachers to focus on teaching by providing real classroom support to ensure real integration of all our kids in the classroom. It means improving ways to get young people to move into training and post second-ary so they can learn the skills they want and we need.

Access to education at all levels

a cOntinued cOncern is the public private partnership model un-der which VIHA is de-termined to construct the new hospital. This means a private consor-tium will design it, build it, and then maintain it for 30 years. The province will get the maintenance respon-sibility just when the building starts to age significantly.

Summer 2011: I teamed up with Denis Thievin

and published ten issues of The Gumboot Press, a twice-monthly pilot newspaper on the creative culture of Quadra Island. I developed the project’s content, visuals, ads, and promotion. Right: A few covers I especially like.... Next panel: Some inside stories.

food, fuel, clothing – and

were no doubt the go-to

guides for living well at

high altitudes

Quito (left) and Cuzco look as regal as chessmen as they perch atop their rocky bluff. Tucking themselves into a tidy package, they like to periscope 360° over their terrain. When you’re low on the food chain, everything depends on a good vantage point!

volume 1 issue 4 the gumboot press • page 115 july 2011

LittLe cameLs – that's how the span-ish explorer Cortez described the

highland animals he encountered when he trekked about in Peru. He wasn’t far wrong: alpacas and llamas are indeed members of the Fam-ily Camelid, even though they’re too small to land a job as human-bearing porters like their cousins who cruise the deserts. Skilled in the art of liv-ing at altitude, alpacas and their kind have proven themselves adaptable to a variety of habitats very different and far removed from their native South American domain.

Take Quadra Island, for instance. Our highest point of land tops out significantly shy of four digits if you measure topography in metres. What we lack in vertical height, however, we more than make up for in geog-raphy. Our rocky coastal bluff ecosys-tem boasts some pretty desirable real estate from an alpaca’s point of view.

Which works out well for two island residents of the four-legged ungulate variety. Cuzco and Quito,

five-year old alpacas who hail from a breeder on Vancouver Island, have been living in the company of Tom-my and Vibeke Pedersen most of their lives, and like many Quadra im-ports consider the island a rare find indeed.

Most days you’ll find them doing what their globe-trotting counter-parts do the world over: they graze, cavort, hum because they’re happy, neck wrestle each other for fun, and screech down any would-be predators perceived as threatening their domes-

tic wellbeing. Dogs, wolves, and bears may all be treated to an authoritative display of braying, kicking, and oc-casional spitting, although the latter seems more reserved for mano-a-ma-no disputes in the camelid zeitgeist.

A footnote on this penchant for spitting: while alpaca spit is tradition-ally a mix of a little saliva atomized by a lot of hot air, the settling of more serious matters brings up (yes, truly) stomach acids and processed food,

creating a noxious green projectile that garners results. Fast.

Although spitting is a well-aimed show stopper, it’s really not the thing for which alpacas want to be, or should be, renowned. Originally bred for their fibre (and for their meat – shhhh), alpacas have a lus-trous and silky fleece that bears some resemblance to sheep’s wool. But its differences are what makes it valu-able: it’s warmer than wool, it’s not prickly, and because it has no lanolin it’s hypoallergenic. It also comes in

a variety of colours from cream and white to many shades of brown, and of course black.

What’s under the fleece, however, is what makes Quito and Cuzco most valuable to their human friends. They’re sweet-tempered, inquisitive animals, responsive to people, patient with children, and they have a playful sense of humour.

Vibeke tells a story of the alpacas’ early days on Quadra: She put water in a five gallon bucket for the pair, and saw Cuzco wander over to inves-tigate. He sniffed, dunked his muz-zle, than inserted a foot and tipped the bucket. Vibeke refilled it. Out of the corner of her eye she watched him approach the refilled bucket and spill the contents again. She filled the bucket a third time. Cuzco knocked it over in short order and jumped around in the resulting muddy pool.

Vibeke got it. Thirst wasn’t the is-sue. Play was the issue. So she set up a lawn sprinkler and immediately Cuzco and Quito did what kids ev-erywhere do on a summer day. They ran through the jets of water over and over, splashing and playing. No doubt there was a happy hum in the air.

When Vibeke and Tommy first brought Cuzco and Quito to their small island farm, they envisioned the alpacas mingling with the exist-

ing flock of sheep. But the newcom-ers couldn’t relate. They were quite dismayed at the sight of these fellow wool-bearers, and it quickly became apparent that parallel lives would have to be led.

So Cuzco and Quito have their own fenced meadows and bluffs adja-cent to the sheep pasture, where they keep watch over the farmstead. Says Vibeke, “We don’t really ‘do’ much with them. We just love them and enjoy them.”

It looks mutual. Cuzco and Quito exude what looks like deep content-ment and affection, if one reads the depths of those liquid eyes (with the enviably long lashes) the way Vibeke and Tommy do.

The alpacas have clearly made a mark on their human friends – and on the farm itself. Last year Vibeke saw them digging away at a patch of field grass below their bluff, and con-jectured they were relocating the loo. When the excavation was complete, an area a few metres side to side was devoid of ground cover.

A higher purpose soon became clear as Vibeke saw both alpacas in turn throw themselves into the pit and roll on their backs, hoofs in the air, and kick up a storm of dust. It was bathing, alpaca style: dirt in the summer, mud when the rains came.

And for the humans in the group, it was one more chapter in living with alpacas in the new world on Quadra.

O n august 19 a team Of fOur climbers

and five videographers made

Quadra Island’s Discovery Islands

Lodge their stage for a major expe-

dition to Bute Inlet. One of the ad-

venturers was the legendary Ameri-

can climber and BASE jumper Dean

Potter. The group’s objective was to film

the first free ascent of the 7000 foot

west face of Mt Bute which towers

9200 feet over the head of the inlet.

The film will be produced by National

Geographic and aired on NGTV in

December of this year.The team chartered the Cortes

Island vessel Misty Isles and skip-

per Michael Moore to take them on

the 10-hour voyage up Bute Inlet to

Homathko Camp. A mountain of

gear was piled on the Lodge’s dock and float, to be shipped to camp that day by wa-ter taxi – along with additional crew, some Coast Mountain Expe-ditions staff, and Frances Stoakley, a young climber from England who was staying at the lodge. “We thought she was just going up for the day,” said owner/operator Ralph

Keller, “but she was gone for a week!

She was so captivated by the beauty of

Bute and energy of the group that she

found a way to stay on and help out!”

Pouring rains at Bute delayed the

expedition start, and wet rock pre-

vented them climbing the lower wall

of the face. But when the weather

cleared four climbers embarked on a

fast, free, and technically difficult first

ascent: a 2400 foot new route of very

high quality on the upper part of the

face. After reaching the summit, Pot-

ter – clad in a wing suit – jumped off

the top of the mountain and glided

like a flying squirrel, landing three

minutes later in a meadow valley

7000 feet below.The film crew captured every detail

of the climb and Potter’s flight, in all

its physical, psychological, and emo-

tional intensity. The setting supplied

its own drama: the deep wilderness of

Bute Inlet, the Homathko Valley, and

Mt Waddington’s massif are the very

heart of BC’s Coast Mountain Range.

Dean Potter, who is one of the

world’s best climbers, lays claim to

numerous fast, free, and solo first

ascents in Yosemite and abroad – in-

cluding a climb and jump off the Ei-

ger north face in Switzerland. He said

the Bute climb was one of the finest

he had ever done – possibly one of the

best alpine rock climbs in the world –

thanks to the daredevil photography

of climbing partner Beat Kammerlander

(and a 5lb parachute), Dean Potter’s ex-

ploits on the world’s craziest verticals

have become visual legends. above Potter leaps from the summit of

the Eiger in Switzerland (3960m) in a test

of his ‘freeBasing’ technique – a combi-

nation of free climbing and BASE jump-

ing. BASE jumping is an acronym for the

fixed objects from which jumps are made:

buildings, antennas, spans (bridges), and

earth (cliffs).

Y ou needn’t look far to find a local

boy with a global reputation.

Google his name or the ideas that

have made him iconic in the world of

boat design, and you’ll get hundreds

of hits for Brent Swain.I first met Swain nearly 30 years

ago when I was studying in Vancouver

and very interested in building a steel

sailboat. His frameless designs were

already popular for the audacious ap-

proach they brought to the world of

yachting for builders concerned with

strength and maintenance problems

infamously attached to wood and fi-

breglass as materials.

Located at the south end of the Homathko Icefield, Mt Bute boasts a mighty west

face of sheer granite. An easier route climbs the lower angled east side.

Much as I would have liked, I never

had the chance to start on my own

sailboat in those years. I should also

mention that even though I’d bought

a set of his plans, Swain’s principles

were so unique that I may have been

a little uncomfortable trusting they

would stand the test of time. Now

zoom forward three decades.Today it’s obvious that any hesita-

tion was silly. Today you’ll find Brent

Swain’s vessels in many corners of the

globe. His designs, and often his la-

bour, have been the basis for so many

boats that he’s lost count – more than Brent Swain stands amidships – in a manner of speaking. His frameless ‘origami’

boats put a different spin on building yachts out of sheets of steel.

F ine takeaway from The Gumboot newspaper: Working with text and design in tandem is a great skills blend – one stop shopping meets streamlined budgets! Here are some inside pages from The ‘Boot.

Q uadra islanders are fond, I’ve no-ticed, of attaching numbers to

meaningful island events. The 14th Annual Beach Clean-Up. The 20th Quilt and Garden Tour. The three hundredth May Day Parade at the Spit.... (What, only 114? I stand corrected.)

So here we are on the eve of the Ninth Annual Studio Tour, a mile-stone indeed for the intrepid art afi-cionados who dreamed up the idea back in 2002. It began with Susan Wilson and the Discovery Island Chamber of Commerce – which, being savvy and living large as Chambers of Commerce are wont to do – approached local artists with a proposal of hosting an island-wide studio tour.

Apparently they were just waiting to be asked. Susan Westren, Barb Wager, Chris Rose, Dwayne Sime-

on, and Martha and Gordon James jumped onboard in a heartbeat.

They must’ve mobilized fast. The first official Studio Tour saw 30 artists participating, about half of them showing at the Com-munity Centre, the others opening their studio doors to visitors. Over the years more and more artists chose the open-studio approach, but the Community Centre exhibi-

tors remained a focal draw.It seems there was buzz in the

air from day one. Posters and fly-ers were made – we’re talking art-ists, remember – and Chris Rose took on the herculean task of cre-ating quadraislandarts.com that gave each one a vignette and

thumbnails of their work. By June 2002 Quadra Island art-ists were on the map – literally – as potter Barb Wager trotted out latent cartography skills and gave everyone a

name, a place, and a number. Nine years later, the Studio Art

Tour is an event around which many people on the island plan their lives. (Well, okay, if you’re an island artist, that is.) But come June

4 and 5, ferry line-ups will attest to the interest of many who think this event should not be missed.

This year there are 35 artists par-ticipating, and the work on display covers some far-reaching territory. Island potters are well represented, with everything from functional

ware to whimsy and all stops in be-tween. Visual artists cover a range of media from printmaking and graphite to acrylics, oils, and pho-tography. For art in three dimen-sions you can take in blown glass and stained glass, fabric art and jew-ellery. Northwest coast native carv-ing, and works in bronze, stone, and metal are displayed in several studio locations. And you’re not done till you’ve seen Naked bicycles and Rich guitars, and sampled a cool glass of Ortega at Quadra’s very own vine-yard... all in the name of art.

There was buzz in

the air from day one.

Nine years in, new

artists have joined

the tour, and the

crowds are loving it.

The storyin the cedar:

Carver George Gilkin ‘washes his heart and says all of who he is’

W hen you think ‘storyteller’, you imagine someone for whom

words embody the truths they live by, or at least the ones they want to share. For such folk words are a me-dium of distillation – of experience, personal mythology, history, events.

George Gilkin has been called a storyteller in wood, and the descrip-tion fits.

Heading up island in the mid ‘90s, George came to Quadra to spend time with his longtime friend and fel-low carver Mike Belatti. The two had met at ‘art school’, George’s moniker for the prison where their friendship began. He credits Mike with teach-ing him how to carve. Mike has al-ways shrugged off the role of mentor, claiming that “I never taught him anything – I just put the knife in his hands. He did all the rest.”

Quadra became home for George and his son, and soon he began a second family on the island. Al-though he and his partner are no longer together, they and their chil-dren maintain a close family bond. George says the relationship taught him about what he calls ‘the givers of life’ – friendship and care, and the

When he speaks of this time, he chooses his words carefully. Allowing a more feminine principle to weave into his life, he saw a parallel move-ment unfold in his art. When he first

he was leaving behind.As in many life passages, new foot-

ing is scarcely established when its soundness sometimes gets tested. At this turning point in George’s life, his mother fell victim to a brutal home invasion in Campbell River at the hands of a young addict. As she lay in hospital with a broken back and multiple injuries, George recalls her fixing him with her gaze and urging him not to fall back into rage, but

Over the next years, he teased the concept into higher definition, gen-

to recognize the vulnerability of her young assailant. He struggled with her words, and in the weeks ahead as he searched fot the boy, he thought about what his actions would be when he found him.

The day came. George strode into a crack house knowing he’d find the

boy there, but still not knowing what he’d do when he saw him. The boy knew who George was, and who he was looking for. He was terrified.

George towered over him, and could have crushed him in a mo-ment. But instead of attacking him he brought him to a meeting.

George’s battle was over. He got the boy into recovery, and won his own fight to let the gentle man inside himself gain traction in the outside world. The carving he made that tells the story shows a huge and powerful bear simply licking its paw.

tling the angularity and bringing an exquisite tension to his forms. At the same time he started paying closer at-tention to spoken language, noticing the impact that words could have on his psyche and his artmaking.

Good, bad, right, and wrong were four words in particular that chal-lenged his emotional balance. Bad evoked feelings of fatigue, whereas good sometimes took the edge off his desire to carve.

Through his evolving relation-ships with mentors and recovery partners, he came to see that language offered him unimagined freedom for right action. New words created a new mindset; taking the word

hate out of his vocabulary went a long way towards healing the generational fallout from resi-dential schools. Says George, “You can feed off the juice of grief as much as you can off any substance.”

T he current chapter in GeorGe’s art owes much to a milestone he

reached six years ago. He remem-bers coming to the realization that he didn’t want to spend the rest of his career interpreting trauma; it was time to take the story into what he was learning anew rather than what

Quadra trailblazers 3

A notebook of treks chalked up by islanders who like to get their shoes muddy in the service of outdoor adventure.

Name Michael Hechter. Mode of transport On foot with lots of dogs. Duration 3 to 4 hours. Destination Up the south peak of China Mountain and down the south side. Getting there Take Hya-cinthe Bay Road past Walcan Road, and look for the China Mountain

trailhead and parking on the left.

Details After the bridge near the beginning of the trail, look for a big climb that’ll really turn your dog’s crank! Dogs like

to work hard on the hills - it gets the feel-good chemicals,

like seratonin and adrenalin, rushing around in their brains.

There’s a sense of accomplishment and pack bravado. Meeker dogs

will often come out of their shells....

Just off the summit you come to a steep drop down the south

side of the mountain. The trail is rough and rugged here, and

anytime there’s water around it becomes a cascading stream. The

dogs level off this descent into an oxygen-laden forest, which

gets them all jacked up and happy - a real canine high!

Best thing It’s a great walk for dogs because most of their day-to-day jaunts tend to be on flat ground where they just

don’t get the same juice. Because there aren’t many people

on the south side trail, the dogs have a chance to really be

themselves. Grunt factor 1 small sweat; 2 big sweat; 3 epic About 1.5, up to a 2 if you’re full-on running. Good to bring Water, snack, big pack o’ dogs!

Quadra trailblazers 1

A notebook of off-road adventures documented byislanders who like to get their feet dirty and tell the tale to others of their kind.

Name Erika Kellerhals. Mode of transport Cycling and running.

Duration 3 to 8 hours, depending on how much of each you do.

Destination Over Beeches Mountain through the old growth forest

on Nugedzi Lake trail system to Granite Bay Road.

Route First stash your bike at the Mount Seymour trailhead on

Granite Bay Road. Then get yourself to the China Mountain trail-

head and follow the signs to South China Mountain. Just before

the summit take the trail to Beeches. Look for the route that

drops off the back of Beeches, keeping an eye out for flag-

ging tape. The route’s quite tricky (crux move). Once you’re

off Beeches, get into the old logging road network. Look for a

beaten path with flagging tape and cairns. Then keep your eyes

open for signage indicating the Nugedzi Lake trail system. When

you’re on the trail system follow the trail signs to Granite Bay

Road. Hop on your bike and go home.

Best thing It’s a great traverse: no houses, fab views, old

growth forest. A great endorphin rush, plus you can swim in

Nugedzi Lake.

Worst thing You can’t really run down Beeches, and there’s a

reasonable risk of getting lost.

Grunt factor 1 small sweat; 2 big sweat; 3 epic Keep it at 2!

Good to know Bring water and energy bars. You need to be

pretty fit to do this route. It’s a good idea to bring a map

and compass, and make sure you know how to use them!

Why the ponderous look? Could be the sentinel by the cemetery is having a hard time seeing the forest for the broom. Many broom species depend on stand-regulating forest fires to activate growth of their roots and seeds.

Want to be noticed? Stand out in the crowd?Consider this: Every two weeks, the Gumboot Press

gets delivered to over 50 locations on Quadra and beyond. Our rates for both display and classified ads are the best, bar none, on the island. And from what we hear, our paper is turning heads. Contact us for our rate sheet, and we’ll get you up and running in the pages of the Gumboot Press.

T housands of yellow blooming bushes that adorn Quadra’s road-

side scenery at this time of year might be seen by a stranger as a nat-ural blessing. Alas, to most who live here they’re nothing of the sort.

For about two months, Cytisus scoparius, or Scotch broom, really is quite beautiful. Then ugliness rears

hated plant in coastal British Co-lumbia. By comparison, dandeli-ons and salmonberries seem at least manageable.

Ten years ago Heriot Bay Road

was mildly dotted with broom. Today the plant has engulfed huge tracts, choking out the natural flora

in most of Quadra’s open spaces and creat-ing an enormous fire hazard. Residents need to understand this. For as much as we all fear the threat of an island-wide fire, we likewise need a strategy to re-move the abundant for-est-fire fuel that broom

creates in all the corridors. And it’s stockpiling right under our noses.

Strangely enough, broom has only been with us for a short time. It was brought from Hawaii by Captain Walter Grant in 1850 and planted on his farm near Sooke. But because it’s so pervasive, it has now

spread over the west coast of the en-tire North American continent.

Many of us have heard the dis-tinctive crackle of broom’s ripened pods when they explode and dis-perse their seeds far and wide. The key to eradication, says Natural Re-sources Canada and the Canadian Forest Service, is to cut the plant at the base – no lower – and do it be-fore the pods pop.

Scotch broom is not all bad.

Here’s a list of plusses, albeit a short list:

1. As most of us can attest, broom has a tenacious root system that’s great for preventing soil erosion. It’s actually in the legume family

and brings nitrogen into the soil. In the right situation, broom has land-scaping benefits. (Note: If you can believe it, Art Knapp and a few other nurseries actually sell broom.)

2. The seeds of Scotch broom have a short-lived narcotic effect and are known to have been roasted and used as a coffee substitute simi-lar to chicory.

3. Broom tops have been used in numerous unproven folk remedies for liver ailments and gout.

4. Flowers can be preserved and used as a garnish in salads.

5. Sprigs of broom can be as-sembled to make ... well, a broom for sweeping your house, preferably with dirt floor. And now you know how the name came about.

Many Quadra Island residents collectively spend thousands of des-perate hours each year in the quest to rid us of broom. It’s a battle we may never completely win, but we can make a real difference. Accord-ing to Riki Vogt, who organizes the broom-bash for Rebecca Spit, plant populations have clearly decreased since her teams first staged their war on broom six years ago. If you would like to join the Rebecca Spit group or start a broom-busting group of your own, contact Riki at 285-2640 for more information. There are also dozens of websites dedicated to the topic of Scotch broom, but a visit to www.broombusters.org might be the best, most localized source.

Broom has surpassed

dandelions and salmon-

berry as the vegetation

we most love to hate

its head. When blossoms have fin-ished enticing insects for pollina-tion, the plant turns dark brown. Stocks harden and thicken. Almost overnight our countrysides go from lovely to grotesque. But the dark side of broom isn’t just the sudden loss of its beauty or that it might be the real cause of an allergic reaction you’ve been blaming on the lawns.

Broom is prolific and highly inva-sive – as if you didn’t already know. In just a few summers, a single, unchecked broom plant becomes a dry, impenetrable, and highly flam-mable thicket consist-ing of thousands of off-spring. Wildlife suffers as the growth becomes too dense for nesting birds and dominates the spaces usually for-aged by deer. Natural reforestation is deeply affected because broom is an aggressive com-petitor for the soil that would have otherwise been occupied by conifer seedlings. The cost of maintaining roads, ditches, and power lines is increased dramatically by broom in-festations since the areas they claim are labour intensive to manage.

Broom might now be the most

the columbia III

Welcome aboard the beautiful prize winning 68’ Columbia III! After fifty years as an integral par-

ticipant in our coastal history, her classic lines are rec-ognized and admired in every port.

Built in 1956 for the Columbia Coast Mission in Van-couver BC, she operated tirelessly as a hospital ship serving the isolated communities on Canada’s Pacific coast. Now luxuriously refurbished, she displays an immaculate elegance not seen in more modern ves-sels. The gleaming exterior, polished brass, and bright roomy salon invite you aboard, while her modern amenities and variety of single and double berths in five lovely staterooms entice you to stay. Three toilets, two showers, and plenty of hot water ensure your comfort.

Viewing the magnificent landscape and abundant wildlife is always comfortable from the spacious cov-ered back deck, through the large salon windows, and from the captain’s bench in the wheelhouse. The Co-lumbia III is the perfect size for an intimate group of ten guests and four crew. Equally important, she is an-nually inspected and approved by Transport Canada. Complete with the latest in navigational and safety equipment, she carries a 25 person life raft, an 18’ skiff, and a full complement of emergency supplies. Your safety is our first priority.
