RCMP lend support toSpecial OlympiansA book sale, organized by the local police detachment, willhelp people with intellectual disabilities stay active.by Maria [email protected]

Hockey, the winter Olympics, and the RCMP these are whatdefine Canada for many people.And the RCMP are proud to be part of that heritage, according

to one Ridge Meadows officer.Const. Peter MacDonald uses words like honour and pride

when he talks about taking part in Canada Day ceremonies.When I put on that serge, I feel so much pride and honour to

wear it, especially on Canada Day, he said. ...Its such anhonour.But wearing the red serge is just part of what

MacDonald is doing thisyear for Canada Day heis also helping a group ofpeople who are dear to hisheart, and supported by theRCMP.MacDonald has been help-

ing organize a book salethat takes place outside theRandy Herman Safety Building next to The ACT on CanadaDay, and this year proceeds will go to Special Olympics.This is the eighth year the Ridge Meadows RCMP are hold-

ing a book sale, and Const. Tammy Herman, who has beenthe driving force behind it, said people seek out the sale onCanada Day.Canada Day will be celebrated at Memorial Peace Park in

Maple Ridge, with Ria Jade of EveRIAthing fame kicking offthe entertainment at 10 a.m. Acts are lined up until 3 p.m.ending with Bad Moon Risin taking the stage at 2 p.m.The official Canada Day ceremony takes place at 12:30 p.m.Activities are planned around the park with the Haney Farmers

Market selling local goods, active demonstrations ofzumba, yoga, and skateboarding taking place, the busi-ness improvement association holding its summer mar-ket; there will also be mini golf, balloon twisting, face-painting, giveaways, and a multicultural food fair.The money raised at last years book sale went to the

RCMP youth program SPURS this year, it will go toSpecial Olympics.The money will support the Law Enforcement Special

Olympics Torch Run which will arrive in Pitt Meadowson Saturday, July 5.This is the last leg of the torch run before the torch is

carried to opening ceremonies of the Special OlympicsCanada Games, held at the University of British Columbiafrom July 8 to 12.As a police officer, MacDonald believes its his duty to

protect the public, and some of the most vulnerable arethose with intellectual disabilities, he said.Unfortunately, this segment is bullied beyond belief,

MacDonald said.continued on page A7...

Where once boardsrepresented thelocal public in publiceducation today theyare only a mask It ismy contention untilboards have somekind of control over themoney, trustees willremain impotent.

At the end of the day we all live in the

same community andwe need to recognize

that different rolesmay dictate the way

in which we approachlabour strife. But we areall on the same page,which is best practices

for kids.

What can trustees doto minimize repeatedlabour strife within thisschool district?

The question was put to each of the school boardtrustees serving Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.

A majority have chosen not to respond.

These are excerpts from their answers. Fullanswers at www.mrtimes.com, search strife.

Organizers are encouragingas many people as possibleto take part in this yearsPitt Meadows Canada Daycelebrations.

by Eric [email protected]

Zabrina Braithwaite-Kelsoshusband inspires her everyday.Corey Kelso is a volunteer fire-

fighter and when the call of dutycomes in hes there to answer it.And seeing him give back to

his community like he does isone of the reasons Braithwaite-Kelso took on her role as chairof the Canada Day committeefor this years events at PittMeadows Spirit Square.I like to volunteer locally

where I can, Braithwaite-Kelsosaid. However, I just felt like Ineeded to make a much biggercontribution and do more in mytown.On July 1, the Citys celebrations will be a

result of her hard work and the hard workof a slew of volunteers who have made it allpossible.All those involved

have been great, shenoted, and explained theday is the culmination ofabout six months worthof preparations.She explained that,

with 2014 being PittMeadows centennialyear, the aim is to makethe celebration biggerand better than previ-ous years.The committee as a

whole has been work-ing tirelessly to just offersomething new andsomething fun this year,which is what we want,she elaborated.She added, this included about 10 to 15

hours a week of planning, on top of her dayjob as police dispatcher.Our goal this year was really to make the

whole day super inclusive.As the new person on board, Braithwaite-

Kelso said, theres no expectations from pre-vious years, and so, The doors blow wideopen, and were not worried so much aboutkeeping it the same. We can try and do new things without fear, which is kind ofexciting.There will be some familiar attractions,

such as the 3-on-3 road hockey tournament,as well as the annual Athletes in Kind (AIK)

charity Canada Day run.Now in its 16th year, the AIK run is actual-

ly a series of runs, with one- and two-kilo-metre runs kicking off at 8:30 a.m., and at 9a.m., an eight-kilometre run begins.Those interested in taking part in the 3-

on-3 tournament canregister on the day,while those interestedin the run can eitherregister online before-hand or on the day,as well, beginning at7 a.m.Its Braithwaite-

Kelsos first year chair-ing the Canada DayEvents, but shes nostranger to taking onleadership roles, andas a result, kind ofrolled into her post aschair.Im a runner and I

hang out with the AIKbunch, she explained.

I do run-leading for them, and Im alsopart of the Pitt Meadows community associa-tion.The day kicks off bright and early at 8 a.m.

with the traditional Lions pancake breakfast.From there, childrens games, live music,

a centennial photo booth, and even a water-melon eating contest are all on the agenda.The official Canada Day ceremony takes

place at 11 a.m.Braithwaite-Kelso said she is excited for

the day and looking forward to seeing every-one come out and partake in the festivities.I just like volunteering, she said. Were

all having a lot of fun with this.

While the outside of the car has beenupdated, the interior of the V60 is notthatmuch different than its sedansibling, which has been on the roadfor awhile. Themass of buttonsworkbetter themore familiar they became,but theres no touchscreen, and thenavigation display is really quite small.

However, what worked in the pastworks here as well, and the metallicsilhouette formed of buttons used forcontrolling the air-conditioning and heatingvents is one Volvo quirk thats really quitehandy. All Vehicles equipped with the larger T6motor now have steering-wheel mounted paddle-shifters.

Really, the only demerits come as a result of the back seats,which are quite tight. Fitting a rear-facing child seat behindthe driver required scooting forward into a tight position,and theres not a lot of leg room for passengers.

The trunk, however, is pretty spacious, at 430L, althoughthats slightly less than the touring version of the BMW3-series. Volvos pop-up cargo divider is certainly worth amention, with an elastic tie down to help stop the groceriessliding around. Trust me youre going to need this.

Performance:Volvo rates the 0-100km/h time of their highest-trim T6model at around six seconds. Two things are different aboutmy particular tester: rst, its equipped with the optionalPolestar tuning software, which bumps power to 325hp and354lb/ft of torque. Secondly, I think Volvo was just makingthat number up to keep their safety-rst image this thingsa rocket.

The Polestar tuning does make the throttle response quitejumpy, even when the six-speed transmission isnt in sportmode. If youre looking for a more docile Volvo, perhapslook down-range. If you want a Swedish meatball withspace for a bike in the back, youve found it.

Old front-driver hot Volvos always gave you a bit of aforearm workout, but this new car drives more like anAudi. Theres plenty of all-wheel-drive grip, and theinstantly-available torque is more than enough shovefor the public street. Its not the 0-100km/h time thatcounts, its the quick passing response that lets you get upand past pretty much anything, whether merging onto ahighway in a short distance, or, oh I dont know, zippingpast the Ikea parking lot before your spouse can ask you togo in and look at end tables.

Its here to blow all ve doors oits compact wagon competitors

Sportswagon

The handling is really quite good, withthe all-wheel-drive tuned to dispelsome of the nose-heaviness impartedby the big 3.0L six-cylinder out front.Grip is plentiful.

Volvo claims better shifting for thesix-speed automatic, and while thetransmission is outclassed by the ZF8-speeds found elsewhere, theres simply

so much power that its easily up to thetask. The paddle-shifters work quite well,

but the surfeit of torque will probably just haveyou leaving it in normal mode.

I know Volvo doesnt think so, but a special-order six-speedmanual would probably nd a home or two. Sadly, its notavailable.

And then, on top of the speed, you get all the usual Volvoattributes. Its quiet and comfortable, and if you dont buythe bright red version you dont look like a sociopathicspeeder. If you dont tell anyone just how quick this car is,then I wont.

Features:As youd expect, Volvos little wagon is lled with everysafety feature imaginable, including a very sensitive cross-trafc assist, radar-guided blind-spot monitoring withslightly longer range than other manufacturers, and evenan automatic braking system to assist with the unexpected.Volvo now extends this system to recognize cyclists andpedestrians, which is handy in our lemming-like city, andofcial crash test ratings have resulted in the highest TopSafety pick from the IIHS.

Fuel economy for that supercharged straight-six isntgreat. Ofcial ratings under the new 2015 ve-cycletesting methods arent out yet, but US EPA methods netted13.0L/100kms city and 9.4L/100kms on the highway forthe S60 sedan, which is very close to observed real-worldmileage.

Green Light:Extremely responsive engine; tight, predictable handlingand grip; clever interior packaging

Stop Sign:A bit thirsty; not quite as spacious as Volvos of yore; interiorcontrols getting a bit outdated

The Checkered Flag:Goes like a goosed reindeer.

todaysdriveYour journey starts here.

Wagon, h! Its nearly the last bastion of thecompact wagon, but the European luxurymanufacturers still provide offerings thatappeal to those who dont want a crossover likeeverybody else.

Not that there are all that many to choose from.If you want a compact longroof, your only choiceis BMW or Volkswagen, and neither companyreally offers a hot version. Want a six-cylinder in

your cargo hauler? Too bad buy an X3 please.

But wait, whats this on the horizon? Is it that champion oflightspeed labradoodle transport? That Swedish seller ofsupersonic stow-and-go? That safety-conscious marqueealso obsessed with maximum bork?

Yes it is. The Volvo station wagon is back, and its backwith a vengeance. This is the Volvo V60 R-Design, andwith all due respect to high-priced rockets like the AMGE-wagons, its here to blow all ve doors off its compactwagon competitors.

Design:If the corporate grille is a terrible idea for somecompanies, getting it right nets a recognizable style, andthe new V60 has that in spades. Its just a new grille,fenders, and hood, but its an improved look. IntegratedLED lighting is part of the package too, as youd expect.

Blessedly, it looks sporty without the imbecilic fury somany manufacturers seem to be building into their cars.Lets go drive! says the Volvo, as opposed to the, Helpme hide this body raaaarrrgh! you nd elsewhere.

In prole, well, one does wish a little for the simplisticboxiness of the V70R and the like. The pinchedgreenhouse looks good, but is not quite as timeless asthe old box-with-some-other-boxes-stacked-on-topstyle. R-Design designation gets you some nice-lookingve-spoke 18 alloys, and the silver side mirrors arereminiscent of an S-model Audi.

Environment:Inside, the R-Design continues the tradition of hot Volvoshaving among the best-looking seats on the planet. As ano-cost option, these nicely-stitched and well-bolsteredthrones come tted with suede inserts, which help keepup-front passengers planted, and easily display all thedetritus of little backseat riders.

Bernie Aubin ofHeadpins fame re-uniteswith bandmates.by Troy [email protected]

The original drummerof one of the most iconicbands in Canadian hardrock history calls MapleRidge home.Bernie Aubin of the

Headpins has lived in thecommunity for more than20 years, and works out ofhis home office as a book-ing agent, working mostlywith bands that made theirnames in the 1980s.The Headpins, featuring

Aubin, original membersAb Bryant (bass) andDarby Mills (vocals), andguitarist Tony Dellacroceand guitarist/keyboardplayer Alfi Galpin, willhit the stage at theCommodore Ballroom inVancouver on Saturday,June 28.Theyll be sharing the

gig with another legendaryCanadian band, Nazareth.After three and a half

decades, Aubin still gets athrill from playing live. Infact, he figures hes a bet-ter drummer than he wasduring the bands heydayin the early 1980s.We all actually play

better than we used to inthe old days, said Aubin.I practise drums everyday. Im probably threetimes the drummer that Iwas 20, 30 years ago. Its

about technique, learningnew tricks, you know?A powerhouse vocal-

ist, Mills has been theHeadpins lead singersince 1982, whenbands break-through albumTurn It Loudblew up on theCanadian rockcharts.The debut sold

more than a quar-ter-million copiesin Canada alone,and was certifieddouble platinum,making it one ofthe most successful debutalbums by a Canadiangroup ever.Apparently it was

one of the fastest-sellingalbums in Canadian hist-ory, Aubin said. It wentgold in a week.These days, life isnt as

fast-paced, and the fatherof three and grandfatherto three more said he likes

it that way. He loves liv-ing in Maple Ridge, awayfrom the big city.His second job is operat-

ing the booking agencyCanadian ClassicRock, which hefounded in 1996.The agency hasexpanded to apoint where it nolonger just booksacts to Canadaonly, with recentbookings in theUnited States,Europe and Asia.Meanwhile,

Aubin playsroughly 20 live showseach year as a member ofthe Headpins.Born a musician,

always a musician, Aubinsaid. Were like theRolling Stones, we keepgoing.For more about the

who was also an RCMP officer, havebeen supporters of Special Olympics foryears. Her husband even took a SpecialOlympics floor hockey team back eastonce, Herman explained.Its been something near and dear to

our hearts, she said.MacDonald has been collecting books

Thanks Bruce,I have a young family, a husband and three kidsand my life is very complex. I needed choice,customization and spending a lot of money onglasses was something I couldnt justify. My GreatGlasses experience was awesome. I didnt need anappointment for my eye test and I got three pairsof glasses for less than I paid for one pair at myregular optical store. I couldnt believe how greatthe deal was and how accommodating the staffwere to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere butGreat Glasses in the future.

Weve had a number of lettersin recent weeks pretty muchevery paper around the provincehas, Id imagine from studentsworried about the labour disputebetween teachers and the gov-ernment.The letters sometimes lean

towards supporting the teachers,sometimes towards the govern-ment, but for the most part, thestudents just want the disputeto be over with. Those studentswho are inspired enough to writeletters are also the type who take their educationseriously. So it must be a shock to these kids tosee empty rhetoric, anger, petty vindictiveness,and unrealistic demands from the adults.Ultimately, the kids seem to suggest that the

grown-ups should, yknow, grow up and solvethings.Sorry kids. I know youre missing out on some

schooling right now, but you are getting anirreplaceable lesson in what adults are actuallylike. This is what people become once we turn18, 30, 40, or 99: were jackasses.Its a credit to children that they have faith

that adults are more emotionally mature, morerational, more reasonable.Were not, by any stretch of the imagination.Adults are jaded, and cynical, and poisoned by

either failure or success, both of which seem tobe toxic.Too much failure leaves you bitter and angry,

resentful of anyone whos done better than you.You delight in the failures of others, because itmakes you seem less alone down in your miserypit. And of course, anyone who did well musthave cheated to get where they are, scammed acorrupt system.Success seems to make you jealous of your

privileges, full of yourself, and it gnaws awayat your compassion and empathy like a rabid,mangy sewer rat, until youd rather watch some-one starve on the street than toss them a coin.

Luck or help from others is for-gotten, the higher you ascend,until youre in an elite club ofself-made snobs who owe nothingto anyone.You can weave between the

Scylla of self-recrimination andthe Charybdis of pomposity, butit aint easy. Adulthood, if you letit, slowly eats your soul.Its certainly taken a few bites

from both sides in the teachersdispute, both of whom have con-sidered the other side the enemy

for so long theyve lost sight of reason. Thehatred from one side is just fuelling the other, atthis point. Its a toxic spiral of retribution.To the adults out there: have you ever seen a

model UN or met some of the bright young kidswho organize student councils or run charityevents? Theyre amazing, arent they? Bright,positive, convinced that they can make a differ-ence.And then they grow up and the world starts to

wear them down, and before you know it, waytoo many of them have turned into adults likethe rest of us sad sacks of crap.Out of all of this justified cynicism, I think

I can put forward an idea to end this teachersstrike before it drags on through a hot and miser-able summer.Well replace the adult negotiators on both

sides with kids aged 12 to 17. Take about twodozen of them, and randomly assign them to thegovernment or teachers sides.Give both sides access to the demands and

proposals, and the relevant budgets saying howmuch is really available. Toss them an adultaccountant or two to help them with the tech-nical stuff.Ill bet you anything, if we sat those kids down

and let them go at it, theyd hash out a fair dealin a day or two.The kids are alright.Its the adults who are a mess.

Our View

Celebrate!Celebrate!

Its something that happens acrossmost of North America at this time ofyear. And its one thing the Americanshave always been a lot better at thanthose of us who reside to their north.

But we laid-back, humble (stereo-typically, at least) Canadians have beengetting better at it in recent years.

Were talking about celebrating ourbirthdays: July 1 for Canada, and July 4for the United States of America.

Maybe the reason Americans area bit more bombastic about theirIndependence Day than we are aboutCanada Day is that they started outwith a bang a lot of bangs, in fact: theAmerican Revolution.

Canada, in contrast, kind of slippedquietly into existence through negotia-tions towards partial autonomy thateventually grew us farther and fartherfrom British rule until we sort of finallyhave ourselves under our own control.

Unlike Americas assertion on July 4,1776, of complete independence fromthe British crown, July 1, 1867, wasreally just the start of Canadas slowascension into independence, whichhit a peak more than a century later,in the 1980s, when the British NorthAmerica Act the document grantingus our independence was released toCanadian soil by the British Parliament.

Indeed, we still are nominally ruledby the same crown that ruled us whenthe BNA Act was signed.

If it seems were taking a condes-cending tone about Canadas history,youre mistaken. Our peaceful and grad-ual secession to a strong nation in ourown right on a road with little blood-shed has helped to define us, andshould be a source of pride.

Its worth celebrating, big time.Get out to Pitt Meadows Spirit Square

or Memorial Peace Park in Maple Ridgeon Canada Day and have a blast!

Dear Editor,I was happy see Mr. and Mrs. Pan Lochs

comments [Assisted suicide has safetyissues, June 12 Letters, TIMES]. We need alot of public discussion on this subject.I believe that there is a lot of confusion

out there, and that that is partly caused byunreliable data.I also hope that future discussion will

help clarify the terminology used. I noticedthat the headings of the article used two

terms: euthanasia and assisted suicide.The Loch letter does not refer to assisted

suicide, and limits its referral to euthanasiaand assisted deaths.Mr. and Mrs. Lochs last sentence reads,

Kill the pain, not the patient. It suggests asimple solution.My question is, do you want the patient

to have continued suffering if it is not pos-sible to kill the pain?

M. DeBruyn, Maple Ridge

Suicide issues need discussion

Dear Editor,Global news reported that

Maple Ridge led the way inreaching our all-time recordgas price. It confirmed mysuspicion. I commute daily

into Burnaby, and find thatthe prices are routinelyhigher than in other areas ofMetro Vancouver.This is pure price-gouging,

preying on commuters who

have to fill up and havelittle time to do so afterspending an hour and a halfdriving home.Send a message to local

gas stations by filling upelsewhere. Also boycott anygas station that charges fortheir air pump.

Garrick Jay, Maple Ridge

Appreciation

Fall proves good still existsDear Editor,On Saturday, my wife fell outside Save-On Foods. Four

people came to her aid immediately and helped her.She was very impressed with their concern for her well-

being, and would like to thank them for their help.The age of good deeds is not past.

Dear Editor,Last Friday, Grade 12

students in B.C. wrote theirEnglish 12 provincial exams.Students work all year,

pouring hearts and soulsinto their studies, and thenhave 40 per cent of theirfinal English 12 mark deter-mined by this one manda-tory government exam.English 12 is required for

graduation, and many post-secondary programs requirea minimum mark for accept-ance.Normally, support teachers

would ensure students withIEPs (Individual EducationPlans) have appropriateadjudication, and/or separ-ate settings are in place.But while teachers are for-

feiting salaries to advocatefor more support and a bet-ter learning environment forstudents, provincial examsare business as usual.But it is far from business

as usual. A student with anIEP for Anxiety Disorder,allowing her to take examsseparately, was told shewould take the exam with200 other students.The administrator said

the only adaptations beingallowed were scribes and

readers, and that a separatesetting was not an option.IEPs are government-rec-

ognized documents requiredwhen fundingis issued forstudents withdisabilities.They are notwritten onscraps of paper,to be discardedat an adminis-trators whim.This student,

with an IEP for severeanxiety, was told minutesbefore writing her Grade12 exam that her IEP didntmatter.Anxiety is not to be taken

lightly. No support teacherwould ever allow a stu-dents IEP to be discarded,especially during such acrucial time.Her parent was there to

remind the administrator ofthis girls rights.The administrators initial

response was that therewere only three of them(students with the specialright to write an exam in aseparate setting).This student, after much

advocating by her parent,was permitted to write as

outlined in her IEP, in a set-ting away from the rest ofthe group.The other two students

who knows?This may sound

trivial, but it is a life-altering experiencefor the student whomay not get into herpost-secondary facil-ity because she wasforced to write anexam worth 40 percent of her final mark

in an environment contra-dictory to her IEP.This is just one example

from one exam at one highschool. Who knows whatother events may haveoccurred during the manda-tory provincial exams inother high schools acrossour province?While our government

drags its feet and claims tocare, our children are suf-fering. The teachers are out-side, forfeiting their wages,standing up to a govern-mental bully, and fightingfor our kids.Parents need to be vocal

and let our governmentknow that teachers are val-ued and important.The situation that

occurred this past Friday isunacceptable and shouldnever have happened.This is a simple example

of how a support teachersrole cannot be replaced, andhow a lack of support cancause serious consequences.Although students may

write their provincial gov-ernment exams, they arenot facilitated or marked ina way that is fair to all.

Name withheld, Maple Ridge

Mediate end to differencesDear Editor,Vince is Ready! Enough of this dysfunctional lockout and

strike in our schools!Phone your MLA Marc Dalton or Doug Bing today,

and insist that Premier Christy Clark hires a professionalmediator, such as Vince Ready, to mediate and/or arbitratea solution to this crisis.Lets end this mess by June 30.

You may be paying more for yoursquare footage than you think.When you lease commercialor retail space, the first order ofbusiness is to negotiate the rent for theleased area; in other words, the dollarsper square foot (or for us Canadians,square metres).However, depending on which way

this leased area is calculated, you may bepaying for much more than you thoughtyou were.It is normally assumed that you are

leasing the area that is made available toyou, and which you can indeed use andoccupy: the usable square footage.This is not always so.There are various other methods of stat-

ing what the leased areaconsists of.Rentable area combines

the usable square footagewith your portion of com-mon areas and other non-leasable areas associatedwith your leased area.Your responsibility for

the common area is reflected in yourleased area as a percentage of the entirerentable area of the building, centre, orcomplex.This cost, along with the operating

expenses of the building and taxes, ischarged to you as additional rent, in addi-tion to the basic rent per square foot.Contrary to popular belief, a mezzanine

in a retail space is not a bonus area. Thesquare footage of a mezzanine is meas-ured in the same manner and forms partof the rent.There are various ways to measure the

square footage of a retail space.The most widely used is the BOMA

(Building Owners and Managers

Association) standard, which is in somecases, far from simple.BOMA prescribes measuring from the

outside surface of exterior walls, the out-side surface of all interior walls, doors

and windows separatingsuch premises from anyportion of the commonfacilities and from themedian of interior sharedwalls.Go figure; you are pay-

ing to lease the walls.For example, if the aver-

age thickness of all your walls is fourinches and you have 90 feet of wall, thatcomes to 30 square feet, and it can makea $28,800 difference to your rent over afive-year period (at $16 per square foot).Make sure your lease clearly states the

dimensions of the area you are leasing,and that it specifies the measurementmethod used to get to the total leasedarea.Also, have the area measured and make

sure that your calculations agree withthose of the landlord.If the calculations differ, ask why,

and make sure that the lease reflects theactual and agreed square footage beforeyou sign the lease.

Pitt Meadows skipper heads forDickson Island, where he hashad a close bear encounter.by Roxanne [email protected]

The Spirit of the Coast CanoeJourney team is set to land on theshell beach of Eden Island tonight(Thursday), then the paddlers are offto Dickson Island on Friday.Hopefully the weather will allow

this itinerary, Pitt Meadows skipperChris Cooper said.While there have been countless

encounters with wildlife duringthe first three weeks of the Alaska-

bound excursion,Cooper knows manymore sightings await.Spirit of the Coast

Canoe Journey is athree-month, 1,300-kilometre paddlingexcursion beingmade by a coregroup of four canoe-ists led by Cooper.The core team (along with support

crew and some part-time paddlers)started from Fort Langley on June 1and are bound for Alaska.The group aims to raise aware-

ness of the fragile ecosystem andlives that could be jeopardized bydevelopment especially the poten-tial threat of a pipeline.

On their trip thusfar, the Spirit teamhas seen porpoises,eagles, river otters,ravens, humming-birds, plus dailyspottings of dolphinsand sightings ofjust about everyother beautiful crea-ture you can imagine

on this beautiful coast, said teammember Brandon Gabriel of FortLangley.While leaving Minstrel Island, they

also spotted a mother humpbackwhale and her calf in the bay as theydeparted Johnstone Straight.
