There are four comma or anglewing butterflies on Vancou-ver Island. If you like the white comma mark on the bottom of the hindwing you can call them comma butterflies. If you like the angular protrusions on their wings, you can call them anglew-ing butterflies. There is no uni-versal agreement on what they should be called.

All four species look quite similar. Their wingspans are about 5 cm and they are the same colour and pattern from the top or dorsal view. They all have an orange ground colour with black and yellow markings which makes them very challenging to identify. However, they all vary considerably on the bottom or ventral side: the Satyr Comma is a light tan colour, the Green Comma has greenish markings near the back edge of its wings, the Zephyr Comma has yellow markings near the back edge, and the Oreas Comma is very dark brown or black.

The Satyr Comma is the most common and is found in forest openings and along railroad tracks and logging roads mostly from sea level to mid-elevations. Look for stinging nettles because that’s where it lays its eggs. The Green Comma is quite diverse

and is found in many mixed forested areas from sea level to the subalpine. Willows are its host plant. The Zephyr Comma is primarily found in the alpine and subalpine where white rhododendrons grow, but I found one in Nanoose Bay last year. The Oreas is the mysterious one. There hadn’t been a documented (photo or specimen) report on

Vancouver Island since one was found on Mt. Sicker near Che-mainus in 1995.

During my first year of butter-fly study in 2013 I saw many Satyr, Green, and Zephyr Commas, but like all other butterfly fans on the Island I never saw an Oreas. Someone reported one in the foothills above Victoria, but there was

no documentation or no way to be sure that it wasn’t another comma.

By the end of April last year I had seen hundreds of commas, but by the end of April this year I had only seen eight. My only explanation was that last year we had a fantastic three weeks of warm, sunny weather that

As many readers will be aware, the anni-versaries of several historically signifi-cant events are being observed this month and next. Although not quite in the same league, I have an anniversary of sorts of my own to recognize as it was 40 years ago this month that I started my career as a fishing guide in Campbell River. I don’t remember the exact date so the month of June 1974 will have to suffice, close enough for my purposes.

I’d arrived in town late the summer before, a young man from points east looking for a place in life and with a con-sistent passion for just wanting to go fish-ing. I spent much of my first winter here employed at the paper mill in Duncan Bay and discovered that wasn’t a working environment which held much attraction for me, despite the fact that you could catch chinook salmon off the dock on your lunch break, hard as that may be to believe now.

I did however meet a number of people there who were involved in sport fishing to some degree including Richard Idiens, a steamplant engineer who lived in a large beachfront cabin on his family property exactly where the Anchor Inn in Campbell River is located now.

More importantly Richard was a friendly guy who had several ex-Painter’s Lodge boats at his place, 14-foot “tinnies” as they were then. He took me under his wing as it were and that late spring when the blue-backs (young coho) showed up at the Red Can buoy, regular as clockwork in those days, I got my first taste of salmon fishing from a boat. For Richard’s generosity and early guidance I remain grateful.

In a classic case of “it’s not what you know but who” the next key step was

meeting Harley Elias, who also knew Richard and occasionally likewise had use of his boats. As I was headed out one day, there was Harley with a pal from Ottawa doing the same and we quickly hit it off, the start of what has become an enduring friendship of the finest kind.

More importantly to my chances of becoming involved in the fishery, Harley was a rising star on the guide staff at Painter’s Lodge and before too long wran-gled me an interview with Butch Dunstan then, as now, in charge of the boats and wharf infrastructure for the lodge. What possessed him to give me a chance I don’t know but he did and for that too I’ve always been grateful. I’d like to think I made the most of it even if I didn’t catch the most fish, always showing up on time with tackle ready to go.

And what a world I suddenly had access to – geographically it was the same as it is today, except that because of the much smaller and lower powered boats of the day the usual boundaries for fishing were much more restricted and fishing tech-niques were for the most part quite differ-ent than those in use now.

I wasn’t brave enough to fish in Seymour Narrows during my first season and it was a couple more before I got all the way into Deepwater Bay, now a regular starting spot. In the other direction we fished in the shallows at Butler’s under the cliffs at the bottom end of Quadra Island but to venture out to the Black (now Green) Can buoy was a special trip. Yes, we fished the Cape Mudge Lighthouse with light gear but as for the nearby Hump, a key location nowadays, we didn’t even know it existed!

Instead we fished in every nook and cranny around lower Discovery Passage, including many places like the Picnic Beach, the Gap, Row and Be Damned, the Overfall and the Forestry Pool that no longer get mentioned, as well as places like Whiskey Point (or Rock), Copper Bluffs and Race Point that seem to hang on in wider memory. They all held salmon

on the right tide, it was just a case of figuring out when.

Mooching cut plugged herring in the fast water back eddies was already an accepted technique, the domain of more experienced guides, especially the “yel-low peril” from Dolphins Resort. However fishing what became known as “shallow herring” was just getting underway much to the frustration of those, especially from April Point Resort, who previously had worked along the kelp beds with polar bear hair streamer flies and didn’t appre-ciate untutored bait fishing enthusiasts like me poaching in what they preferred to think of as fly-only zones.

It seems almost laughable now in the age of downrigger fishing where 12 pound balls are considered light that in the mid ‘70’s there were fierce discussions about the merits of using three-eighths or five-eighths of an ounce weight, a full ounce was almost beyond the pale when not mooching!

In my first season a favourite lure for coho was a red Henry Smith, a smallish plastic spoon, and I fished with herring strip in a Nosky Killer teaser head, we used to see Frank out fishing around Campbell River.

For the first few years a trip often began or was even preceded by catching bait, either jigging it with a team of small flies or teaming up with a fellow to rake herring, one of us perched precariously on the bow with the rake sweeping our victims aft into a waiting tub. The herring

almost always showed up where expected and it wasn’t until the later ‘70’s that live bait for sale from barges arrived on the scene.

One vivid memory I have from my first season is getting an earful, with shaken fist emphasis, from the occupants of a boat tied to the kelp in the eye of the flood rip at the Cape Mudge Lighthouse. They were fishing with live herring using small plastic lemon juice containers as floats to drift the bait away down tide, and I ran too near or even over their lines in what they considered their fishing hole and not to be disturbed. I guess this memory speaks to a less busy and more innocent time on the water.

Tyee Pool was busy but equally so on the other side of the river mouth was French-man’s Pool. There might be 30 or more boats of an evening there, trying for the mighty tyee with everything from clas-sic rowboat Tyee Club regulated tackle to herring strip trolled behind Pink Lady planers, truly soup to nuts! Why this par-ticular area no longer holds salmon even though the environment is far cleaner now is a real mystery – Orange Point with good reason was named for the colour of the water there!

I could never have guessed then where that first summer of fishing would lead me, including the writing of this column, but all in all it’s been a wonderful 40 years and the real news is the fishing now is in some ways as good or better than it was then – the good old days continue on!

Memories from 40 amazing years of guiding

Hon. John Duncan, Minister of State and Chief Government Whip and Mem-ber of Parliament for Vancouver Island North, on behalf of the Honourable Alice Wong, Minister of State (Seniors) recognized the upcoming World Elder Abuse Awareness Day on Sunday, June 15.

The day was launched by the World Health Organization and the Inter-national Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse in 2006 to bring a focus to the abuse and neglect that older adults experience and how to prevent it. The Government of Canada has made combatting elder abuse a priority through awareness activities, the New Horizons for Seniors Program, and new legislation.

The introduction of the Bill on the Digital Privacy Act to amend the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) is a concrete example of what the Govern-ment is doing to better protect seniors from mistreatment such as fraud and financial abuse.

The Government also continues to ensure that Canadians are informed about the signs of elder abuse. More

information is available on seniors.gc.ca.Quick Facts• The Protecting Canada’s Seniors Act,

which came into force January 2013, helps ensure consistently tough pen-alties for those who take advantage of elderly Canadians.

• A brochure on powers of attorney and joint bank accounts was released in November 2013 by the Federal/Prov-incial/Territorial Ministers Responsible for Seniors Forum to inform seniors about the risks, benefits and possible unintended consequences of opening a joint bank account or granting someone a power of attorney.

• Economic Action Plan 2014 supports the implementation of the Canad-ian Victims Bill of Rights, which was announced on April 3, 2014. The legisla-tion will stand up for victims of crime and give them a more effective voice in the criminal justice and corrections system.

“Canadian seniors have played a cen-tral part in building this country. They have earned our respect and admiration, and they deserve our support to help them enjoy the best quality of life pos-sible,” said Duncan.

Rock.It Boy Entertainment proudly presents David James & Big River: A Tribute To Johnny Cash Friday, June 13 at the Tidemark Theatre, 1220 Shoppers Row in Camp-bell River. Tickets are $34.50 (plus applicable taxes & fees) available from the Tidemark Theatre Box Office. Charge by phone at 250-287-7465 or online at www.tidemarktheatre.com. Doors open at 7 p.m., show time is 7:30.

Appearing before sold-out crowds, David James is North America’s favourite Johnny Cash tribute act. Taking the stage with his own three-part band, Big River, James has the stage presence and the characteristic sound of Johnny Cash nailed down. With the look, the moves and the sound, he brings to life five decades of hits such as “Folsom Prison Blues”, “Ring of Fire”, “Hey Porter”, “Rock Island Line”, “Get Rhythm”, “The Long Black Veil”, “Daddy Sang Bass”, “Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down”, “A Boy Named Sue”, “Man In Black”, “Walk The Line” and his signature piece “Orange Blossom Spe-cial” as well as Johnny’s cross-over songs “Hurt” and “Rusty Cage”.

Providing the voice of Johnny Cash in the award-winning film My Father and The Man in Black, James proves he is the most authentic Johnny Cash tribute artist in the busi-ness. A living prodigy to one of

history’s true phenomenons, he is...almost Johnny Cash! “It’s not only about the voice”, says Dave. “It’s about living and breathing the man. I want our

audiences to go home feeling like they just observed the man himself.”

Steven Hill, entertainment reporter for The Question says,

“When the deep and eer-ily familiar voice on the phone says, “Hello, this is… almost

Johnny Cash,” it takes a sec-ond to register that the person on the other end of the line is really David James and not the real Man in Black.” Singer, songwriter and musician Peter Gabriel declares, “David has a voice very close to Johnny Cash himself and he’s a great performer”.

Mark Corbett of the Nanaimo Business Association con-

cludes, “If you were to close your eyes while watching a performance of the tribute band David James & Big River, you’d swear Johnny Cash was up on stage. Even with your eyes open, the spirit of the “Man in Black” is definitely in the room. This is a must see performance for anyone who’s a fan of country music’s most provocative entertainer.”

David James & Big River perform A Tribute To Johnny Cash Friday, June 13 at the Tidemark Theatre.

Quadra Island Quilt and Garden Tour runs June 21-22NORTH ISLANDER

On Saturday, June 21, and Sunday, 22 come and see what Quadra Islanders have created from fabric, or, in soil. The Quadra Island Garden Tour is unique in that over 70 quilts will be displayed in the majority of the gardens. Quilts range from traditional to modern and include small journal quilts, lap quilts, bed quilts, wall hangings and quilted jackets.

This year along with the many colour-ful flower gardens that reflect individ-ual style and character we are including some of the Quadra farms that harvest a wide variety of produce. Some also have cattle, sheep, goats or fallow deer.

All money raised stays on Quadra Island. The tour is a fundraiser for both the Quadra Island Recreational Society and the Quadra Quilters Guild. The Recreation Society will use funds raised for Children’s programming while the Quilters’ portion goes toward the annual Quilters’ Marathon and com-munity quilts. The Marathon quilts are donated to BC Children’s Hospital to be given to seriously ill children.

The tour is concentrated in the south

of the island and could be completed by bike.

The Tour runs each day from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Ticket price is $15 and is good for both days.

Tickets are available at Campbell River Tourist Centre, and on Quadra at Inspirations in Quathiaski Cove and Works of H’Art in Heriot Bay. They will also be available on tour days at the Quadra Island Tourist Booth.

Island Birds from page 1.accelerated vegetation growth as well as butterfly development. My only other thought while I was checking a logging road nearby was that last year’s roadside herbicide spraying may have done a num-ber on the butterfly populations.

However, my attention was soon drawn to a black shape on the middle of the dusty road. I carefully moved around so the sun was at my back. It was a butter-fly with its wings up, and I could see the black undersides. I did my best to control my excitement. Even though I had never seen one before, I knew it was the Oreas! I took a few distant shots from about two metres then prayed that it wouldn’t fly as I got closer. I strained every muscle so as not to make a sudden movement, and finally I was within half a

metre – perfect for my close-up lens. The Oreas was only my eighth comma

of the year, but it was the best ever. It was on my most wanted list, and I was finally rewarded for the hundreds of hours I had spent looking for butterflies this year.

The Third Annual Scrap Metal Challenge is taking place this June, when residents and organizations are asked to donate their scrap metal, with proceeds going to the Campbell River Hospital Foundation. The money is used to purchase much-needed equipment for the hospital.

The event takes old barbecues, aluminum lawn furniture, appliances, old tire rims and wire, among other things. For the month of June, people can drop their scrap into the bin at the City of Campbell River Public Works Yard, 385 South Dogwood Street. It can also be dropped off at ABC Recycling, with notice that the proceeds are to go to the Foundation. ABC Recycling is located at 4318 Terminal Place.

Organizations who want to join can get a bin placed at their location free of charge, in order to make the collection of the scrap as easy as possible. The company who donates the most scrap metal will win the Scrap Metal Cup.

This year, Coastline Towing and Transport is also a sponsor. They can help anyone who has old scrap vehicles they would like to remove from their property and donate to the Foundation. Campbell River Hyundai is also on board, and will give scrap vehicle donors credit for up to $1,000 in trade value on the purchase of another vehicle.

“As people are doing their spring cleaning around the house and yard, we hope they will consider recycling for a great cause,” says Stacey Marsh, Executive Director of the Foundation.

The Scrap Metal Challenge has raised over $36,000 for hospital equipment since it began. The Foundation is currently rais-ing funds for several important additions to the hospital, including an Intensive Care Bed that rotates to a sitting position, or can provide continual rotation for bed-ridden patients, to decrease their chance of getting

pneumonia or pulmonary complications. They also hope to help more moms and babies, with the purchase of a new Birth-ing Bed and an Infant Stabilette.

This event has kept tonnes of scrap metal from the landfill and been a positive “green” initiative for the city. Recycling one car saves the energy equivalent of 502 gallons (1,900 Litres) of gasoline–and reduces green-house gas emissions by 8,811 pounds.

For more information or to get your busi-ness involved please contact Patti Mertz at 250-850-2418 or [email protected].

Did You Know? The Campbell River Hospital Foundation

plays a vital role in raising funds for much needed equipment and resources. The Foun-dation funds approximately 18 per cent of priority medical equipment purchases for the Hospital every year. To date, more than $4.5 million worth of equipment has been purchased.

Highland Secondary art students have been busy cre-ating work for their upcoming show at the Pearl Ellis art gallery and the excitement has really started to build around the event.

Art teachers Nathan Senner, Charlotte Hood Tanner, and photography teacher Charity Munro are delighted about the opportunity to showcase their students’ work in a formal gallery setting and the many artists involved are very excited and have invested countless hours pro-ducing outstanding, inventive visual statements to share with the public.

The show is sure to have something to suit every taste displaying a wide variety of processes including clay sculpture, acrylic and water colour paintings, printmak-ing, collage, photography, and various drawing mediums and mixed media composites.

The works were produced in the many art courses offered at Highland including Art Careers 12 taken by students heading into post secondary art directions as well as by art students in the International Baccalaureate program now offered.

Past shows have always been well attended as viewers enjoy the interesting diversity and are intrigued by the unique perspectives of these fresh, enthusiastic artists.

“People often remark that they are impressed at the high level of quality and creative depth these young art-ists are able to attain,” says Senner “We’re very proud of the students, their hard work and committment, and look forward to sharing with the public once again.”

The Highland show runs from June 3 - June 22). The gallery is located at 1729 Comox Avenue and is open from 10am to 4pm Tuesday to Saturday, and 1-4pm on Sundays. The gallery is closed Mondays. FMI see our website at www.pearlellisgallery.com .

Our regular Thursday Night Jazz Series con-cludes this week with a fifth annual appearance by Jennifer Scott and Rene Worst.

This special concert has its origins in the Vancouver Olympics in 2010 when we received a request from this great Canadian jazz duo: could they play a Thursday night concert, because they wanted to escape from the mad-ness of Vancouver. The result was one of the most memorable jazz evenings, where they played “for the hat” before a packed house. It was so successful that they made repeat appearances during the last three years; again to a capacity audience.

Well, Jennifer and Rene are back at their request for a fifth con-secutive year. We feel honoured to share this relationship with them, and to have them on our stage once more at 7:30 pm.

Jennifer Scott is a singer and pianist born in Vancouver, BC, Canada. She specializes in jazz, blues, and world music. She is considered one of the more import-

ant jazz artists working in Canada and the United States today. As well as being a perform-er, she arranges and writes jazz and pop tunes, with several CDs containing a combina-tion of original tunes, tunes she has arranged, and more traditional tunes. She has also appeared on many CBC recordings and has worked with many other musicians both live and in studio.

Rene Worst has been a professional bassist since 1971. His virtuosic bass playing has been a Canadian treasure for many years on both acoustic and electric basses. He is as gifted on fretless as he is on acoustic - a rarity in the industry. Rene was edu-cated both in Canada and the US. He is one of the founding members of the noted fusion band “Skywalk” and has anchored and produced six recordings with them. Rene is also a highly regarded produc-er.

Jennifer and Rene are joined by special guest Nanaimo drummer James McCrae. James is well known to local jazz lovers, and his appear-ance will expose us to another (cooler) facet of his prowess, compared to his more recent per-formances this season.

Rene reported last

week from a teaching com-mission in Colorado Rockies, “We will be featuring music from our two recent CD releases and some great Brazilian tunes to go with your summer weather!”

Those readers who have experienced these wonderful artists need no further encouragement to see the show. For others, come and hear the music for yourself: it doesn’t come any better. For a sampler, visit http://www.jen-niferscott.ca and listen to the mp3 tracks.

At the time this press release was written, there were five remaining places in Jennifer’s morning workshop “Vocal Technique and Improvisation” 9:00am to

noon, on June 14th in the lower level of Native Sons’ Hall. If you are interested in attending, please contact Dale Graham at 250 339 6989, or identify yourself to Dale on Thursday since she will be emcee that evening. The price is $20.

Volunteers and corporate members are reminded that Volunteer Appreciation com-mences at the Av at 5:30pm. Food will be served. Jennifer and Rene will be joining us for that celebration, so this is your chance to realize the dividends of all your generous contributions during the past year.

For more information about forthcoming events, please visit www.georgiastraightjazz.

com or find us on Facebook.Regular Thursday night

jazz at the Av will recom-mence in September, but please note that Georgia Straight Jazz Society and Anderton Therapeutic Garden Society are jointly sponsoring three Sunday afternoon con-certs this summer in Anderton Gardens. Look for posters around town in the next few weeks or stay in touch with our web page.

Press releases will also be published in local newspa-pers. Mark your calendars for July 27th, (big band music from WWII) and August 10th (songs from The Great American Songbook) and 24th (Latin American music).

Special annual visit from Scott and Worst at jazz club

Jennifer Scott

This is the 5th year the Cowichan Folk Guild has presented the Islands Songwriting contest, open to residents of Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands.

This contest is an excellent opportunity for all Islands songwriters to gain recognition for their tal-ent. The theme of the contest this year was History.

■ THE LITTLE RED CHURCH

Singer-songwriters Hilary Grist and Dominique Fricot are teaming up with local music favourites Helen Austin and Daisy Squires for a night of songs at The Little Red Church in Comox.

Singer, songwriter, and pianist Hilary Grist’s dul-cet, velvet voice and signature brand of firefly folk dipped in dreamy, jazzy art pop can evoke emotion with ease and has made her music a favorite on CBC Radio and TV shows like Grimm (NBC), Being Human (NBC) and Degrassi (MuchMusic).

Her quirky creative flare with visual art and video have also garnered admiration from around the globe.

Born in Quesnel and raised in Maple Ridge, BC, Hilary has made her home in Vancouver, BC. She has released 2 Eps, 2005 On My Way, 2009 Little Ditties, and 2 full-length albums, 2010 Imagingings and the forthcoming 2014 Come & Go.

Dominique Fricot blazes a new trail in genre, treading the line between post-brit pop, indie-rock, and folk.

With his spellbinding strings, electrically charged vocals, and genuine onstage charisma, it’s impossi-ble not to be charmed by Fricot and the honesty expelled in his music.

In his powerful songs Fricot breaks your heart, mends it, and breaks it all over again with tales of loss, love, grief, and an overarching feeling of hope.

Now, on the cusp of releasing his first full-length album, Sweet Little Fantasy (2014), there is more proof than ever of Fricot’s artistic maturity. Working with favoured producer Warne Livesey, Fricot has constructed an album that artfully chronicles the momentous moments of his life.

In these powerful tracks, Fricot breaks your heart, mends it, and breaks it all over again with tales of loss, love, grief, and an overarching feeling of hope.

And local JUNO Award winning singer songwriter, Helen Austin will be joining these two musicians to round out the evening, joined by her daughter, Daisy on fiddle and vocals.

Sunday, June 15 at The Little Red Church. Doors 6:30 - Show 7 pm. 2182 Comox Avenue. (250) 650 - 6570. Admission $10 at the door. Visit http://www.littleredchurchcomox.com/ for more details or email [email protected]
