Local birding expert Bruce Wilkinson led a successful Birding 101 course. The 2-day workshop was held both

in the classroom at the Valemount Visitors Centre as well as in the field at the Starratt Marsh on May 11 and 12.

Strategically located to attract abundant birdlife, our Valley lies directly along the Pacific Flyway, Western Can-ada’s principal north-south migratory bird route. Com-ing from the southern United States, Central and South America, migratory birds follow the Columbia Trench

northward through our Valley to the Yukon Territory and Alaska. Being positioned on the western boundary of the Rocky Mountains the valley draws birds moving east-west along canyons and valleys into the Robson Valley bringing species of birdlife more typically found east of the Rocky Mountains.

The Robson Valley does not get the vast number of mi-gratory birds of the same species as some migratory lo-cations get. Instead, we get a large variety of groups and species, sometimes stopping for only one night or two, to rest and to feed along the migratory route.

“We have about 180 different

species of birds in the Valley and about 120 of those species can be seen in the Starratt Marsh,” says Wilkinson.

The variety of species relates directly to the variety of ecosystems that overlay one another as a result of the topography of the Valley. The tall mountain ranges surrounding the valley provide many differ-ent ecological zones due to elevation change. The relatively dry valley floor provides abundant grasses that bring terns and dry land species. Open water in the marshes and in lakes provides waterfowl a place to rest on their migratory routes. The varieties

of habitat combined with the migratory routes are what make the Starratt Marsh and the Robson Val-ley a birder’s paradise.

“The marsh is one of the most amazing locations. You can go there every day and see different species and groups of birds,” says Wilkinson. Early spring is the best time of year to view the variety of bird spe-cies. “We don’t see a lot of birds late in the spring because the insectivores go high into the mountain valleys following the bugs. Mallard and Teals will nest and stay over the summer but most of the birds move farther north. This year’s cold spring seems to

have the birds mixed up a bit. Some duck species are still around when in warmer years they have moved on farther north long ago.”

Wilkinson has been an outdoor adventure guide since 1986 and ran the interpretive program for many years at Mt. Robson Provincial Park. Wilkin-son currently works with Adventure Management managing three provin-cial Visitor Centres as well as one public Infor-mation Centre.

Plans are well underway for Spring Festival 2011 thanks to the hard work of Marie Birkbeck and Jennifer Robinson of Tourism Valemount.

The fun will begin on Friday evening, June 10th when a welcome reception, at the Valemount Visitor Centre, will open the festival. Bird enthusiasts are sure to enjoy the video “Feathered Friends” by Leon Lorenz, however non-birders will still enjoy a cash bar, appetizers and live music till 9 p.m.

Saturday will feature fun and adventure. Mount Robson Whitewater Co. will host a Fraser River Float Trip where people can enjoy spectacular views, his-torical points of interest and listen to an interpretive talk. If you prefer dry land Valemount Area Recreational Development Association will be hosting the “Sea to Sky Trail”, a breathtaking group ATV ride with spectacular views of the val-ley. Bird watchers can take part in “The Stake-Out” on Cranberry Marsh where Delores Moore will guide and help to spot birds through the many scopes set up along the dyke. Kids will have a good time at the “Kid’s Quarters” where they will enjoy crafts, face painting and colouring activities. Children ages 5 to 12 will also enjoy the “Chickadee Run” foot race and chances to win some great prizes. A tasty BBQ is also planned. During the day, local talented artists will be painting original landscapes from various locations around the marsh. At the community hall, the Quilter’s Guild will be hosting a Quilt Show and Tea. To close out the first day, the Valemount Curling Club will be holding a concert and dance in the evening.

The fun continues on Sunday with the “The Marsh Meander”where local ex-perts will lead interested folk around the marsh trail. The Valemount Visitor Cen-tre will be the staging ground for interpretive hikes, starting with the Packsaddle

Creek Trail. A second group of hikers will be headed out to Tete Jaune Cache to visit Mile 53 where Art Carson will host this interesting exploration of the ruins of an old railway construction town. Also look for an art show sponsored by the Valemount Museum and possibly a birdhouse-building course.

Donations will be asked for at each event with the exception of the Fraser River Float Trip which will cost $45+ HST to attend and will require preregistra-tion by Wednesday June 8th. Money collected from these events will go toward trail maintenance at Cranberry Marsh as well as ATV trail development and improvements around the Valley. Spring Festival 2011 is sure to be an exciting and fun adventure well worth attending.

Spring Festival 2011: Something for everyone this JuneDaniel Betts

If someone doesn’t step up all could be lost. The Robson Valley Speed Skating Club (RVSSC) has been without a head coach for two years. “We have a lot of

equipment and if we don’t find somebody willing to supervise the club and get ice time back the Valley looses everything,” said Laurie van der Roest, Registrar and contact for the RVSSC.

Without a coach the club has taken a “2 year break” but time is running out. “Essentially, if we don’t get the club back up again all the mats, all the skates and all the sharpening blocks, everything, the Valley will loose because the B.C. Speed Skating Association will take it back,” van der Roest said. “I think if the Valley looses this, we will never get it back.”

The club was started by Diana Coder who coached for many years before having to move away from the Valley. Greg Bruce coached after Coder left but his job conflicted with coaching time and since then the club has been wait-ing for someone to step forward and take on the roll. While a committee exists, someone to take care of the work on the ice is required. In September an ice time meeting takes place and typically the RVSSC acquired ice time on Wednes-

days from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. During their last session a total of 23 children and 5 adults from McBride, Dunster and Valemount were members of the club.

Two years ago a speed skating oval was made on Starratt Marsh. Theoretical-ly, a speed skating oval on the marsh could be used to host competitions in the Valley much the same way Logan Lake hosts the Regional Speed Skate Cham-pionships every year; adding another reason to entice visitors to our valley. In years past, kids from the RVSSC have travelled to Calgary for the opportunity to skate on the Olympic Oval.

The club’s equipment includes a large selection of next to new skates, mats, safety equipment and sharpening jigs used specifically for speed skates. All the equipment is available to rent at a reasonable rate, however all the equipment will be gone if a coach is not found.

“There is some urgency. If we don’t have anyone by mid-June we will fold the club,” van der Roest said. The RVSCC is meeting in mid-June to decide what to do with the club. “There is money in the bank to train a new coach, but we are looking for that commitment. We have always had great parent involvement but we need a coach.”

If you are a coach or are willing to learn to be a coach for the RVSSC please contact Laurie van der Roest at 250 566 4772.

OPINION

Playing by the rules

Everyone has goals they want to reach. Everyone has desires they need to fulfill. Achievement and

victory generate powerful uplifting feelings. Adulation and praise are significant immeasurable rewards for a job well done. Life gives us many options to reach our goals but not always does the path we choose give us the same results. There is a difference between a well-deserved victory and stealing a race. People justify the means to an end in all kinds of ways. There are those who would think themselves clever and even act smug of having bent or broken the rules to gain advantage. Usually those who break the rules realize they don’t deserve an achievement but their desire undermines their integrity.

When integrity is sacrificed to achieve a goal what are the consequences? Some people are more than happy to savour a victory without integrity but what are the ramifications for those around them? Is a taint-ed achievement as powerful or worthy of praise? In the old days deserving achievements were accomplished through hard work, experience, skill and integrity. In-stant gratification has it’s costs; it forces adjustments, which otherwise would not have been necessary.

Our society has created rules to protect us all; guide-lines that show us the acceptable method to achieve our goals in a manner that generates true pride in what we do. Anyone can win a race without rules; an oaf with no integrity or skills can easily stomp their competition in the foot before the race starts and wad-dle across the finish line with victorious arms in the air and his competition writhing in pain at the start line. Does this runner deserve the adulation of the crowd? Does the runner deserve to be cheered on to the finish line? What was the cost of this victory?

Sometimes it isn’t always as obvious as my example. However people are very intuitive and a simple ques-tion rising out of something that looks out of place is all it takes to realize a smug smile hides a severe lack of integrity. A flaw of those who believe the rules do not apply to them is the arrogant belief that their intelli-gence is greater than yours. They believe they deserve their goals without working for them. Sadly they will never know the powerful feeling of an achievement reached with pure skill and integrity.

Clark HST Red Herrings

Dear Editor:

Even before the HST referendum arrives by mail in June, and before the people of BC have a chance to tell the arrogant Liberal government to scrap the HST, Christy Clark is announcing, “rebates” in order to bribe us using our own money; a “rebate” for a tax money you paid for in the first place, and is al-ways only a little bit of the amount you forked out. The Liberal government keeps the rest.

We do not want more Liberal sleight of hand us-ing our own money; we want the HST GONE!

Double talk about ”fixing” the HST, making “big” announcements just before the mail-in ballot ar-rives, making sure the HST question is so confus-ing people don’t know how to answer, talking about changing the 2013 election date and other “busi-ness” shows Clark is just a carbon copy of Camp-bell, also with Falcon’s back-room plotting.

They will do anything to divert the public’s atten-tion from their greed and arrogance.

Clark makes it clear she has no intention of be-ing “transparent,” no intention of “listening to the people,” no intention of being anything other than the bullying Liberal government we have come to recognize in Victoria.

Valemount is ready to attract the attention of Tourists who have already started hitting the highway. On Wednesday May 11th, the Valemount Visitor’s Centre

opened its doors for the summer. Supervisors Sandra Craig and Keshia Janum welcomed visitors and showed off the well-organized displays. With a vast array of books and souvenirs, Craig is expecting to soon offer crafts and artwork cre-ated by local artists. Locals are encouraged to drop in and check out the centre for themselves. The Valemount Visitor’s Centre is unique in that it offers interpretive programs which studies have shown increase the average time spent in an area by up to two days compared to visitors centres that lack interpretive programs.

PieceMakers Quilt show

Hundreds of intricate and colourful quilts were displayed at the Valley Piecemakers Guild Quilt Show, held May 14 at McBride’s Evangelical Free

Church. The stunning display included quilts of many styles and sewing tech-niques, both machine and hand stitched. Among the lovely and useful items were pillows, bed covers, lap quilts, table runners, wall hangings, calendar quilts and even innovative handbags.

Many quilts are titled, names which often derive from the design, fabric or theme of the work. An interesting group of quilts displayed were “challenge quilts”, which result when each artist is given the same fabric or theme, and an amazing array of designs and personal expression emerges.

The show represents two years of work by the Guild, which began about 20 years ago and currently has 22 active members. The Piecemakers meet in Mc-Bride every other week from September to the end of May, and new members are welcome, including beginners.

The art of Quilting expresses the essence of community. A single piece is often made by a group of quilters working together to achieve a unified design. Quilts are often made to give, free of charge, and from the heart, to someone who needs their warmth and beauty. The Valley Piecemakers Guild creates lap warmers for seniors, birth quilts for the newly arrived, memorial quilts com-memorating those who have left us and comfort quilts for those who need friendship and cheer. This year guild members will be creating “quillows” and picnic sized blankets for local children needing them.

Today’s presentation of a beautiful “dedication quilt” titled “Wishes for Amy”, and a “thank you quilt” to the Gigglin’ Grizzly Pub once again celebrated this wonderful tradition of giving to the community through art.

The disaster in Slave Lake, Alberta has emphasized the vulnerability of all com-munities to the threat of forest fires. On Friday, May 13th, several Valemount

Secondary School (VSS) students volunteered to take part in the Wildfire Protec-tion and Prevention Initiative that was spearheaded by the Village of Valemount and the Wildfire Protection and Prevention Planning Committee. Carrier Lumber provided funding for the initiative. “It is a good opportunity for them [students] to help out the community and help protect the school,” said Dan Kenkel, Principal of VSS. Considered a threat to the school, the particular stand of trees the stu-dents worked in was located just south of VSS. Students were taught hands on fire fuel management techniques by members of the British Columbia Forest Service, Robson Valley Fire Zone, led by Darin Summerhayes, Forest Protection Assistant.

Besides learning valuable lessons and skills, students were also showcasing their work ethic to possible future employees. “These guys are former grads and are now back from school to work all summer outdoors in the bush. If any of our students want to be considered for that, here is an opportunity to show them [Forest Service] who they are and what they are capable of,” Kenkel said. Looking with pride as his students drag brush from the thinned and cleared forest, Kenkel added, “I am very impressed. They look like they are working hard.”

The Valemount Wildfire Protection and Prevention Planning Committee have been performing this service for the last 5 to 6 years. “It makes fires easier to con-trol and allows trees to grow bigger and healthier,” said Committee Member, Bill Kruisselbrink. In years past the committee concentrated efforts along McKirdy Road as well as selected wood lots in and around the village. “We often write letters to people whose lots appear unattended in an effort to prevent large fire hazards in and around the village,” Kruisselbrink explained. This year the com-mittee selected a lot where the school and students could get involved and learn about the importance of fire fuel management. Kruisselbrink mentioned a for-estry report that showed where the most likely sources of fire would come from and where fires may “jump.” Because of the wind, fires will generally come from the south. Kruisselbrink pointed out that the efforts of sawing off all the bottom branches of the trees would force a fire to “go to ground” rather than jump from tree to tree. “If there was a fire in this area now it would go to ground right here,” Kruisselbrink declared.

This was the first time high school students have been invited to take part in the initiative and Kruisselbrink noted that they completely underestimated the amount of work they could accomplish. “Kudos to all of them. They are very hard workers,” Kruisselbrink said proudly. The lot the students cleared is now a show-case of how a fire safe tree lot should appear.

On Saturday the brush that was removed from the lot was put into a wood chip-per provided by The Source Tree Service, and hauled from the site. Valley resi-dents are invited to check out the hard work of the students and the Forest Service in helping to keep our village safe.

Rivershed Society of B.C. Seeks Young Leaders to Make a “Trip of a Lifetime”

The society is offering a unique scholarship to ten lucky young leaders to make a trip down the Fraser River, “considered one of the greatest salmon rivers on Earth.” According to Coquitlam Now, this August the 4th to the 28th, the Rivershed Society of B.C.’s Sustainable Living Leadership Program (SLLP) will offer participants the opportunity to travel by ca-noe, raft and by foot down the Fraser River. The trip is set to start in the Fraser’s headwaters near Mount Robson, and will finishes 1,400 km down steam near the river’s mouth in Vancouver.

The river will act as an interactive classroom for a nature intensive outdoor education program, “to foster eco-system knowledge, stewardship skills, leadership, teamwork and sustainable living.” The group will hopefully “develop an intimate under-standing of the river, its tributaries and eco-sys-tems,” as well as “meet with community leaders, take note of industry and development and learn about sustainability first hand.” Participants will discuss lowering their eco-footprint and sustain-able living, through travel and engagement “with the society’s extensive network of First Nations con-tacts and community stewards.”

Participants must be 19 years of age or older and physically fit. Community volunteer experience is an asset. To apply, submit an online application to the society before the May 20 deadline. For infor-mation, visit www.rivershed.com.


HOROSCOPE FOR THE WEEK by MICHAEL O’CONNOR

Activities

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)You can now feel the earth underfoot and spiralling energies of procreation rising. Love is in the air and you want your share. Whether planting, planning, sowing or investing your focus is strong. A revolutionary impulse is spurring you to take risks. You feel the power yet you may also feel the weight of responsibility. Make time for some pleasurable distractions of the season.

Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)Out of the gates like a charging bull, you will be in the mood to cover a lot of ground this week. Many new realizations are pouring in and you are taking many steps to understand and activate them. Your energy levels on an upward swing you mood is lifting. This trend will continue for some months so intend to make the most of it.

Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)Dreams of possibility are stampeding in your mind. You will begin to act on these this week, yet will also feel pulled to dream even more. What do you wish for next? Exploring new horizons, at least in your mind, may be a source of anticipated excitement. The time is fast approaching to commit your self to new dreams, visions and projects.

Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22) Sowing the seeds of new friendships is an important feature of your life now. With your world stirred and shaken of late, you may find yourself in new territory. Gaining a new sense of security is in every thought and action. Endings on relationship fronts are likely contributing realities. The process has its price but you feel committed to a new status quo.

Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23) Your career is beginning to take on new shape. Acquiring new tools and opening yourself to trainings of some sort is likely. Now is a good time to stimulate your network. Whether gathering with friends and/or connecting for more practical purposes, you want to be seen and heard. Amidst many new realizations you are feeling ambitious and risky.

Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22) With your power potential on the rise you are in a good position to be seen and heard. You will push for it and use whatever charms and strategies you can to succeed. This focus will remain strong and if you are seeking recognition and/or to improve your skills the time is ripe to do so. Better yet, mixing business with pleasure stands to go very well now.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)A deep cycle where you are asking very important questions continues this week. Your focus will take on an increasingly adventurous tone. If you feel the need to take some risks to realize your dreams the time is fast approaching. The next couple of months could prove very successful for you if you do your part. Be willing to draw on the valuable resources of others.

Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21) Your focus on relationships remains strong. These include both professional and romantic interests. Opportunities for success are higher than usual just now so be deliberate. You may also be approached, even chased. You may be getting ready for deeper commitments. Communicate your desire to go slowly yet surely.

Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21) It is time to make extra efforts to realize a more solid ground in your life is here. This will include new meetings and negotiations starting this week. With a clear plan and some follow through you will soon see inspiring results. Your willingness to see yourself and the world in new and different ways is vital. Now is a time to learn and listen within and without.

Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)Your creative passions continue to soar. This could be a real breakthrough period. This may prove especially true in your love life. Whether you channel your passions into creative offspring or direct them to others, you will notice that you have a lot of love to share. Poetic feelings ad possibly words too will flow. Feel with your heart and mind!

Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19) Enjoying your home, garden and family remains a strong focus. The inspirations you are receiving are bound to blossom into beauty because there is so much love in them. Yet, there is work to do as well. Clearing, renovating and essentially establishing a foundation where you can work, play and create is on your mind. Aim to establish a space that can provide a base for you to reach out to others and share your wisdom.

Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)A busy time continues. You have many places to go and people to see. There may be a fine mix of business and pleasure. You feel very attracted to others and them to you. This is a fruitful time and you will gain a lot as long as you are in tune with this flow. The focus will swing over to home and family this week. Delving into creative projects and hobbies will bring many pleasures.

You‛ve probably heard and seen a lot about HST — some negative, some positive. Well, now you can have your say. From June 13th to July 22nd you‛ll vote whether to keep HST or go back to PST plus GST. It‛s an important decision for our province,so be sure to take the time to understand all the implications of the two tax systems. And before you decide, put each tax option to the test at HSTinBC.ca

Decide for yourself. Learn more at HSTinBC.ca

What do Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Steven Spielberg, Leonardo da Vinci, Cher, Whoopi

Goldberg, and Walt Disney have in common? They all have dyslexia.

For the last several Tuesdays, at the Valemount Li-ons Hall, there has been a showing of videos, in the evenings, on the subject of dyslexia. These videos have been generously presented by Columbia Ba-sin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL), Valemount Public Library, and Valemount Adult Literacy.

Kim Thorn, the Community Literacy Coordinator in Valemount, explains the purpose of these pre-sentations is “to show not just the challenges, but

the gifts of dyslexia. 15-25% of the population has dyslexia. These genes are in the population for a reason. The more I learn about dyslexia, the more fascinating it becomes. They have different ways of seeing and learning. It’s such a great part of the hu-man race. I want these presentations to bring some light to the subject. I know there is negativity as-sociated with dyslexia, but there are so many posi-tives! We hope that this information will help not just individuals with dyslexia, but also their families to better understand their gifts.”

Two of the videos that were featured during the past presentations, ‘Misunderstood Minds’ and ‘It’s so much work to be your friend,’ have been pur-chased by the Valemount Public Library and are available for public use.

According to Susan Hall of the Whole Dyslexic So-ciety, “Dyslexics, it could be argued, represent an even greater challenge to people and society in gen-eral due to the hidden nature of their disability. No one would dream of becoming impatient with the visually impaired person who took slightly longer to read text on a screen.” She believes this is primar-ily due to “a general lack of public awareness about the true nature of dyslexia, and general misconcep-tion that any difficulties are confined to the areas of reading, writing, and spelling.” A much anticipated public videoconference with her is soon to be an-nounced.

Surely all of us have a responsibility to try to un-derstand such individuals, and to help them feel like they belong in our society.
