s Evidences of human history in the landscape are intriguing. Most of our forests are second growth, and the human presence of logging is still strongly felt. It isn’t hard to find relics: twists of old steel cable or rusty pieces of metal. At times, I’ve stumbled through dense woods into un-naturally straight clearings — old logging roads and railway beds. Big stumps stand like monuments, with notches for springboards still etched into their trunks.

I approached a large Douglas-fir stump, truncated well above my head. The springboard notches gaped mouth-like with an eerie effect. I ran my fingers along the inside of the notch, feeling where the axe first bit the tree.

My mind drifted back 80 or 90 years, when this forest (in Black Creek) was logged in the 1920s or 30s by the Comox Logging and Railway Company. I imagined the “falling gang” walk-ing into the forest, two fallers and one or two buckers. A sharpened, gleaming crosscut saw, at least seven feet long, flopped over the faller’s shoulder. There was other equipment: wedges, springboards, an oilcan, double-bitted axes and a sledgehammer. The bucker carried a more rigid, single handled saw. The ancient forest had probably been growing since the forest fire of 1668, which had burnt large portions of Vancouver Island.

The team sized up the tree — each tree was assessed as an indi-vidual. For big trees, springboards were fitted into notches so that the men could cut on a level platform

above the buttressing, pitch-filled base of the tree. Axe-work fol-lowed in making a deep undercut. Then sawing: a dance between two men as they pulled the blade back and forth. I can hear the rhythmic scissoring of the blade, zipping through wood.

Imagine these trees falling: a fir as big as nine feet in diameter and 200 or more feet high. As it began to topple, the men dropped

their saw behind the tree and ran. Sharp branches or heavy slabs of bark “widow makers” could drop and kill a man. Hard hats weren’t worn until decades later. The impact of the tree must have made the earth shake, a bone-rattling “WHUMP!” The fall-ers, paid by how much they could cut in a day, moved quickly on to

the next tree. In the early days, the market was for “No. 1” fir, the straight section of trunk before the branches. The top, branched part of the tree (as much as 80 feet) was left with the rest of the slash.

The fallers were just one part of a large and complex operation. First came the timber cruisers, surveyors and the men who pre-pared the rail line: powdermen and stumpblowers, the grade crew, steel gang (laid the rails), bridge crew, and cherry pickers (picked and loaded marketable logs from the right of way using a donkey engine on a flatcar). After the rail was laid, the fallers and buckers went to work followed by a scaler, who graded and measured the board feet of each tree. Powered by donkey engines, logs were yarded by “highlead logging:” a

spider web of cables and pulleys attached to a central spar tree and outer “back spars” in a sort of wheel formation. The “skid-der crew” manned the operation — riggers, hookers, chokermen, whistlepunks, loaders, chasers, bunkerman and levermen. The logs eventually made their way to the skidder landing, and were swung onto flatbed rail cars with a haywrack boom.

A steam locie transported the timber to the log dump and boom camp at Royston, hauling as many as 70 flatcars of logs on each trip. After logs were dumped into the sea the boom team sorted and stowed them. These men, wearing caulk boots, walked on floating timbers and used peavies and long pike poles to position the logs. Flotillas of logs were tugged over to Comox to be stored near Goose Spit, before being tugged to their

final destination at Fraser Mills near New Westminster.

I’ve taken a mental journey of sorts, from “stump to dump” as the loggers would say. But now I’m back where I started, leaning on an old fir stump. Those loggers from the 20s and 30s are mostly gone now, but the stumps remain. A green film of mosses and liverworts, and a spattering of grey lichen have softened the rawness of axe and saw. New trees have grown out of the old, their sinuous roots clinging to the stump like tenacious vines. Salal and huckleberry spouted from the tops of others, like unwieldy hair. The vigour of regeneration in the forest is startling. The loggers have left their mark, but the forest goes on with a quiet stealth as it hasfor millennia. It grows with a silent potency, in a time frame

that dwarfs a human life span.In considering the stump I

thought of all of those hard-work-ing men who came to the woods long ago. Many of their descend-ants still live locally.

The stump also made me consider the forest: its powers of regeneration and its ability to outlive and outlast us. Human his-tory is woven through the forest, but the forest, I believe, is its own master in the end. Its story goes on in a slow continuum, exceed-ing us.

Richard Mackie’s highly informative book Island Timberwas used as a reference for the logging information in this article, and is recommended reading for anyone interested in the logging history of our area.

So, that was some front page news story – for those North-Islander readers that didn’t see it, the Nov. 22 issue of the Courier-Islanderfeatured the large coho return to Woods Creek, a small system on the south east side of Campbell River that flows down from the Storey Creek Golf Course upland area.

With a counted return of just over 300 adult coho to a creek that is barely as wide as a dining room table most of the time, I have to think just about all available spawning habitat in it must now be fully utilized. What a thrill it must have been for the streamkeepers who have worked so hard to keep this small system as viable salmon habitat as they recorded the fish passing through the counting fence they operate at the very lower end of the creek.

Compared to the other salmon species, coho have a more protracted migration per-iod into freshwater and so it’ll be some time before a more complete picture of south coast coho returns is known. Although the coho return was largely over by early November in some river systems locally my predecessor in this space, Rob Bell-Irving, now for many years the DFO Community Advisor based in Squamish, noted recently that in the Sea-to-

Sky country the coho return only really gets going mid-month.

That said already there is more good news than otherwise about south coast coho returns, exemplified on Vancouver Island by the results at Black Creek.

Thanks to relentless budget cutbacks to DFO by the federal government, this small river sys-tem now hosts the last remaining of three counting operations once in existence around the Strait of Georgia, used to conduct assess-ment of both outgoing smolts and returning adult coho. The information that is generated at the fence/trap operation at the entrance to the Miracle Beach Provincial Park is key to the calculation of marine survival of wild coho, information that is critically important to the management of all salmon fisheries around southern BC, and especially so for the recreational fishery.

Although the assessment of the coho run has not been finalized, with the mark recap-ture/deadpitch survey still ongoing, at more than 9,000 adult coho it is clear that this fall

Black Creek has had the best return since 2001, making the 2013 count one of the largest in well over 30 years.

Further away but still of great importance to the south coast recreational fishery is the return of what is called the Interior Fraser coho stock. These are fish that spawn in the vast area of the Fraser watershed, includ-ing the Thompson River drain-age, upstream of the Hell’s Gate Canyon. More than any other single stock complex, it has been

the impact on these coho that has shaped the management of all salmon fisheries in south-ern BC ever since 1998 and the implementa-tion of the misnamed zero mortality objective. Misnamed because only the complete closure of all salmon fisheries could achieve that objective and so, in the world of Canadian fisheries management at least, zero came to equal three, as in a three per cent allowable mortality objective, the central fact that has ever since dominated salmon management decision-making wherever these coho are

found.In response to three consecutive returns

(2010 – 2012) above a 25,000 fish benchmark, earlier this year I wrote that for the first time DFO was publicly considering an increase in the allowable mortality rate for this stock but, in the end, nothing came of it for the 2013 fishing season. This question must surely now be considered again as news filters down this fall from the interior of much the biggest return of Interior Fraser coho in many years. Assessment won’t be complete until early next year but reports to date indicate that the count is likely in excess of 70,000 coho there.

If confirmed, this increasingly strong rebuilding trend should have a big impact on salmon fishing management by all gear types in the future. For example, 2014 will be the dominant return year for the late-run Fraser sockeye that in 2010 provided the so-called “biggest run in a century” and you can bet that all three commercial gear types will not want to be overly constrained in accessing any available sockeye harvest next year by coho from stocks of concern caught incidentally to their target species.

Ardent Angler froma page 2.Likewise in the recreational fishery, the ability to harvest

at least some wild coho on a time and area limited basis around southern BC could be a real boon to many local fish-eries. It would only take an additional percentage point or two of allowable mortality to enable this to happen.

Nobody should delude themselves into thinking the coho crisis that has beset southern BC is over with and we can blithely return to an era of unsustainably high exploitation rates, but a combination of highly conservative management along with improved marine survival seems to have put these prized fish back on the road to a sustained recovery. Now it’s time to consider easing up on some of the restrict-ive measures that have been in place for 15 years now.

Anyway, from the vast hinterlands of BC’s interior to tiny coastal systems like Woods Creek and many places in between, overall the fall of 2013 is shaping up as the best in recent decades for coho returns around southern BC and that’s something to celebrate for sure!

Shades of GreenRay Grigg

Cheeky is dead. The five-year-old grizzly that Robert Johnson knew from his many visits to the Kwatna River estuary near Bella Bella is no longer a living part of the Great Bear Rainforest. The magnificent animal did not die because some biological impera-

tive in the great design of wilderness placed a claim on this particular bear. It died because a hockey player wanted a trophy. So he shot it, removed it from existence in a gesture that seemed as meaningful as a goal, a penalty or an on-ice fight.

Clayton Stoner, the 28-year-old NHL defenceman for the Minnesota Wild who killed the bear, had the legal right to do so. “I applied for and received a grizzly bear hunting licence through a British Columbia limited entry lottery last winter,” he explained, “and shot a grizzly bear with my licence while hunting with my father, uncle and a

friend in May. I love to hunt and fish and will continue to do so with my family and friends in British Columbia.”

Robert Johnson, a field technician with the Coastal Guardian Watchmen Network, experienced the bear differently. As his research group collected grizzly DNA for study and identification, the bear would walk through the high estuary grasses, often within 50 metres of them, “pop his head up, look at us, and stick his tongue out at us,” Johnson said. This playful curiosity and friendliness explains why they nicknamed him “Cheeky”. “We started talking to him, telling him what we were doing there. We got to know him quite well, to the point we could go in on our boat ... and get off and walk around in the area without having to worry about him.” (Larry Pynn, The Vancouver Sun, Sept. 4/13).

This “worry”, however, had another dimension. It was not what Cheeky might do to people — the researchers seemed to have reached an accord that the estuary could be peace-fully shared — but what people might do to Cheeky. Johnson had advised Stoner and his group of hunters that the Coastal

First Nations had declared a ban on the trophy hunting of bears at Kwatna, and asked that he respect this prohibition. Stoner appar-ently replied that he had a legal right to hunt and would do so.

The next day Johnson heard three sharp shots slice across the silence of the estuary. He wasn’t witness to the actual shooting. Neither did he see the head, paws and skin being cut from the dead bear. But he did find the remainder of the corpse left to rot in the open field where Cheeky had been browsing. And, when he saw the brown hide being unloaded from the hunters’ Zodiac, he immediately recognized “the colour, the size of him,” said Johnson. (A photograph and DNA samples later confirmed the identity of the dead bear.)

A bear, of course, cannot describe the experience of dying. As with all deaths, this is a private affair that happens to the exclusion of everyone else. The darkness and silence that follows ensures that the process remains a secret, a bond of inviolable mystery that never escapes from the inexplicable.

We all know, of course, that Cheeky died. And now we know how Cheeky died. But no one can really know the details, the pre-cise process that a bear’s consciousness might have experienced on that quiet May afternoon on a peaceful estuary of the Great Bear Rainforest. Clayton Stoner, the man who pulled the trigger of the rifle, wouldn’t know — perhaps he wouldn’t want to know because it might complicate his “love” of hunting. Robert Johnson wouldn’t

know either — perhaps we would prefer not to know because his familiarity with Cheeky would make the reality more painful. But imagination and compassion, the guiding voices of conscience and ethics, can risk a guess.

Cheeky’s first sensation of being shot was probably an instant and searing pain followed by a sudden numbness as its body went into shock from the impact of the bullet. Maybe then a reflex of vague fear and a rush of protective struggle as the deep mechanisms of its brain attempted to right itself from the encroaching dizziness, to reconcile these alien sensations with the explosive crack heard and felt almost simultaneously. Then, perhaps, a brief rush of confu-sion, a bewildering sense of being lost, a pointless urge to run, an overwhelming and futile impulse to reclaim the order and tranquility of the moments before.

The second and third shots may not have been heard or felt. The dull shock of the bullets would have merely hastened the blurring of surroundings, the dimming of awareness, the twisting tumble into darkness, the final falling that would end without a landing. Perhaps Cheeky’s last moments as a bear were a consuming blackness that disappeared into itself until not even the blackness remained. Clayton Stoner returned to his charter boat with his trophy, lounged on the deck, balanced the severed head of the grizzly on his knee, and posed for a photograph. Robert Johnson returned to his research camp near the Kwatna estuary and wept.

PICK OF THE WEEK

beyond the ordinary.If you have been considering

finding out why Thursday Night Jazz has become so popular, but haven’t yet ventured into the Avalanche Bar, you should know that you will receive a warm wel-come from regular jazz fans, and you’ll experience the best club/lounge atmosphere in the Valley.

We have a reputation for being an attentive audience, where peo-ple go primarily to listen to live high quality jazz music with their friends, and other jazz afficiona-dos. Still interested? Give us a try - you’ll be glad you did!

For more information about our activities, please visit www.geor-giastraightjazz.com or like us on Facebook

The quality of jazz music in this town keeps get-ting better and better.

After last week’s scintillating performance by the Mike Irving Quintet, this week’s show promises to be equally brilliant. After a resoundingly successful show last spring at the jazz club DMN & FRNZ are back at the Avalanche Bar on Eighth Street at 7:30pm, Thursday Nov 28th with some new tunes and some new FRNZ.

DMN comprises Don MacKay on 5 string bass, Michael Eddy on Piano, and Neil Clark on Drums. These three well known Comox Valley musicians have been rehearsing an exciting program, which recognizes the incredible talent of composers such as Chick Corea, McCoy Tyner, Herbie Hancock, Bill Evans and Horace Silver among others.

Their renditions of standards and not-so-standards will be enhanced by the addition of FRNZ: Rachel Fuller on Alto Sax, Clarinet and Electronic Wind Instrument; Paul Nuez on trombone and Jay Havelaar on Trumpet.

As Don commented in a recent interview, “The FRNZ bring an energetic infusion of talent to the group and are excited about the upcoming perfor-mance at the Jazz Club.”

A few of the more energetic tunes you will enjoy include: McCoy Tyner’s “Señor Carlos”, Chick Corea’s “Captain Marvel”, “Armando’s Rhumba” and “Spain” which will feature Jay Havelaar’s wonderful solo introduction.

Rachel Fuller will be sure to enchant you with her version of Herbie Hancock’s “Tell Me A Bedtime Story” and Joe Zawinal’s “A Remark You Made”, per-formed on the mesmerizing EWI (Electronic Wind Instrument). She will also join the Comox Valley’s favourite trombonist Paul Nuez and rising star trum-peter Jay Havelaar in delivering a blistering rendi-tion of Freddie Hubbard’s “The Intrepid Fox” as well as a couple of burning BeBop tunes.

On piano, Michael Eddy maintains a solid sensi-tive approach to accompaniment as well as perform-ing some incredibly fiery solos. He is also sure to melt your hearts with his soulful rendition of Bill Evan’s “Some Other Time” and he will get your feet tapping to a bit of just plain old fun Carribean music.

Keeping it all together on bass and drums, Don MacKay and Neil Clark are totally in the groove with dynamics and tempos locked right in. Neil’s drum solos are a fiesta of raw energy and classic rhythms while Don’s solo contributions challenge the bounds of traditional bass playing.

Originally conceived to be a bit unique DMN & FRNZ promise an evening that is bound to be

Expect great jazz Thursday from DMN and new FRNZ

Singer-songwriter Hayley Sales is coming to The Avalanche Bar in Courtenay on Tuesday, November 26th. Sales is thrilled to be back in her homeland to showcase her new music as well as her old favorites. Sales is currently working on a new album in her studio on Vancouver Island. The album was completely fan-funded through a campaign on PledgeMusic.com.

Whether she’s winning “Best New Mainstream Artist” at the Canadian Radio Music Awards, being named an “O’Neill Girls Ambassador,” or appearing in her new guest star role on the TV show Cedar Cove, Hayley Sales’ energy is infectious.

Sales was signed to Universal Music Canada at 19. Seven years later, she has released two albums internationally, Sunseed (2007) & When the Bird Became A Book (2010), Sales is now back in the studio indepen-dently recording her third album.

Blue Moon Estate Winery has invited Comox Valley artist Lisa Kirk to show in their gallery for the month of December. We hope you will join Lisa for her Opening Reception, Sun. Dec 1st, 1-4pm, for what promises to be a lovely after-noon of a “Perfect Pairing” - Art and Wine!

Lisa is an intuitive mixed media artist who loves to experiment and play with whatever she is working with. This show will be an eclectic selection of her work with small to medium sized collages and paint-ings as well as a few larger sized pieces.

Blue Moon Estate Winery has a delicious repertoire of award win-ning fruit wines and the opening will coincide with the release of their first apple brandy cider-Har-vest Moon.

Imagine a perfect Sunday after-noon spent tasting wine and cider at Blue Moon Estate Winery, feast-ing your eyes on the colourful paintings and collages of Lisa Kirk, nibbling on appys while, at the same time, having the opportunity to do your Holiday shopping in a relaxed environment?

There will be lots to choose - from bottles of award winning Blue Moon wine (reds, whites, ports, and cider), to fine art (6”x 6” and up) for every budget and taste.

As well, Lisa has a new order of notebooks (blank and lined, small and large) for those who are look-ing for her art in a smaller, more affordable format. Nature’s Way Farm also has a great selection of local food items (jams, preserves)

Releasing the Hold of the Old, by Lisa Kirk

and other items such as candles, cards, etc.This show will feature Lisa’s new Red Dress piece,

Releasing the Hold of the Old, which feels perfect for the end of the season and heralding in a new year.

Lisa has received an Award of Excellence for drawing and an Honorable Mention for painting through the Comox Valley Community Arts Council. In 2006, Lisa was nominated Mentor of the Year for the Arts and Culture Awards in the Comox Valley. Lisa was invited to participate in the 2011 Florence Biennale, in Italy. In April 2013, Lisa was awarded the “Nakeestla Award-Coming Together to Make Things Right” for her artwork in the Juried Members Show at Comox Valley Art Gallery. This award was presented in partnership with the Comox Valley Justice Center. This past July Lisa was selected to show her work in the 27th annual Sooke Fine Art Show.

For many years, Lisa has been teaching creative pro-cess in her Pure Process Art classes for adults and chil-dren, both in her home studio and for the Comox Valley School District. Lisa may be contacted through her web-site at www.LisaKirk.ca or by calling 250-334-2567.

Please join us, Dec 1st, 1-4pm at Blue Moon Winery, for this pre-Christmas event. Blue Moon Estate Winery is located 5 minutes from downtown Courtenay at Nature’s Way Farm, 4905 Darcy Road. If you are unable to make it to the opening, the Winery will be open Fri-Mon, 1-5pm through Dec. 23 and open Dec 24, 1-3pm. Or by appointment: call (250) 338-9765.

ISLAND VOICES CELEBRATES CHRISTMASThe glory of Christmas music will soon be in

the air! Island Voices Chamber Choir is cele-brating the release of their new Christmas CD with two seasonal concerts. Mark your calen-dars for Nov. 30th (Campbell River) and Dec. 1st (Comox).

Under the direction of Jo-Anne Preston, Island Voices will perform a fabulous variety of choral music of the season. Fun and tasteful arrangements of “White Christmas”, “I Saw Three Ships”, and “Jingle Bells”, will be heard alongside the less familiar “Veni, Veni, Emmanuel”, “A Christmas Lullaby”, and “O Magnum Mysterium”. You will be treated to music in English as well as Russian, Latin and even Latvian!

But this fine choir will not be the only treat provided to your ears. Soprano Amy Lelliott will not only join the choir in the gorgeous “ There is No Rose Of Such Virtue”, but will sing two seasonal favourites on her own. Flautist Tomoko Bonner will join the choir for “What Child is This?”, “Auld Lang Syne” and the haunting “Huron Carol”, where she will be joined by choir member Joyce Baker on the cello.

Our entertaining brass quintet, featuring Jake Masri and Roger Kirk (trumpet), Celine Oulette (horn), Phil Cassidy (trombone) and Nancy Cox (tuba), will certainly jazz up the evening, performing on their own and joining with choir for “Ding, Dong, Merrily on High” and “Good King Wenceslas.

The Campbell River concert will take place on Nov. 30th at 8 pm at Trinity Presbyterian, located at 145 Simms Road in Willow Point. Tickets can be purchased at the Campbell River Visitor Information Centre.

Tickets are $18 for Adults, and $15 for stu-dents and seniors. Ticket price includes a reception following the concert.

A Cumberland house concert, “Songs We Made Up”, features a local duo on Nov. 29 at 7:30 pm.

Both Joanna Finch and Danny Zanbilowicz are well known in the valley and beyond for their contri-butions to the arts world. Danny Zanbilowicz has been loving playing music in the Comox Valley since his arrival in 1993, as a keyboard player, and as a guitar based singer/songwriter. Danny is delighted to play some older and newer songs, including selec-tions from the new CD he is recording on Hornby Island. It is always a pleasure to make music with long-time collaborator Joanna Finch.

The element of darkness in both artists’ songs, like Joanna’s song, ‘A Willing Kidnappee’, about the time she took a ride to the rough end of Vancouver

with two fishermen, or Danny’s ‘Paula’ a jovial tune about the girls who make their money ‘by selling their honey’ is gently countered by ‘Eileen’ a feel good song about new love, and ‘Popcorn Blues’ a 20’s style swing featuring Joanna’s remarkable ‘vocal cornet’. A concert is not compete without The Black Widow’s Tango by Joanna Finch, which show-cases Joanna’s theatrical cabaret vocals and thrilling sensuality.

For an evening of top notch, heart grinding enter-tainment be sure to get your $15.00 ticket for this concert. Available at The Villge Muse Bookstore in Cumberland, or by calling 250 218-1689. A second concert is planned at Kameleon Cafe, Quathiaski Cove, Quadra Island December 17 7:00
