One-stop fire-training centre Comox Fire Training Centre is used by firefighters from all over Vancouver Island.

Last Wednesday evening a group

of firefighters from Campbell River were there to enhance their skills and take advantage of the wonderful fire training

centre.

Comox Chief Gord Schreiner says: “We are very pleased to not only offer our firefighters great

training opportunities but also other firefighters from other departments. Our training centre has almost everything a firefighter needs to keep his skills sharp. We believe we have one of the best training centres in the province.

“Our centre is well used but we still have a lot of additional untapped capacity. We

are seeing more and more departments use this training centre on a regular basis.

“The Campbell River fire department uses our site a few times each year. This type of training is very necessary to ensure our firefighters can keep themselves safe while provide good service to our citizens.”

The Comox Fire Training Centre has

a formal “service provider” agreement with the Justice Institute of BC. This partnership allows firefighters on Vancouver Island to received accredited training without having to travel to the mainland saving both time and money.

Since it formally started in 2002, Comox Fire Training Centre has seen over

The brain can sense even without functioning senses Q. What’s the flip side of the brain mutating pain by distracting a patient from nerve damage or other problems?

For example, in a 2010 Super Bowl playoff game, Vikings quarterback Brett Favre seriously injured his ankle and hamstring. He was taken out of the game briefly but came back and played through the pain, which reclaimed his attention after the game’s end.

A. The brain can also create pain, as it does in people’s experience of “phantom limb sensations,” when it misinterprets the spontaneous central nervous system activity occurring in the absence of normal sensory input, explains David G. Myers in “Psychology: Tenth Edition.”

Just as the dreamer may “see” with eyes closed, so some 7 in 10 amputees may feel pain or movement in nonexistent limbs.

An amputee may even try to step off a bed onto a phantom limb or lift a cup with a phantom hand.

Sometimes those born without a limb perceive sensations from the missing arm

or leg. As psychologist R. Melzack surmises, the brain comes prepared to anticipate “that it will be getting information from a body that has limbs,” and acts accordingly.

People with hearing loss may experience the sound of silence: phantom sounds -- a ringing in the ears known as “tinnitus.”

Those who lose vision due to glaucoma, cataracts, diabetes may experience phantom sights -- nonthreatening hallucinations. Some with nerve damage have had taste phantoms, such as ice water seeming sickeningly sweet, while others have had phantom smells, as of nonexistent rotten food. As Myers emphasizes, “We feel, see, hear, taste and smell with our brain, which can sense even without functioning senses.” ●●●● Q. Of all Earth’s species, which one has visited the moon in greatest numbers?

A. No, it’s not we humans. Bacteria might stake a claim but also in contention would be an intrepid group of trees, says MacGregor Campbell in “New Scientist”

In 1971, U.S. Forest Service scientists wanted to see if a journey into space would affect seed growth. Obligingly, Apollo 14 astronaut Stuart Roosa carried 500 pine, sycamore, sweetgum, redwood and Douglas fir seeds to the moon.

Upon return, nearly all of the seeds germinated, then were given as gifts to various U.S. states, as well as to countries such as Switzerland, Brazil, Japan. But nobody kept track of where they were planted.

So David Williams of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland decided to trace them, locating

more than 80-65 of them still living in 22 states and Brazil.

Concludes Campbell: “One of the remaining forgotten lunar explorers may well be growing in a garden near you.” ●●●● Q. What morning email sound-alike might a highly romantic, love-struck woman prefer to receive?

streaks, but research shows that the socalled “hot hand” is a myth, rooted in our tendency to see patterns even when there aren’t any, says John Matson in “Scientific American” magazine. One study published in the journal “Nature Communications” used game stats for hundreds of NBA

players and concluded they put too much stock on the outcome of their last three-point shot. If they made one, they were much more likely to try another than if they missed. The Lakers’ Bryant was a prime example in his MVP season of 2007-2008: When he made a three-pointer, he shot again from downtown

nearly four times as often as following a missed three. But trying to ride a threepoint streak is often bad strategy. “Players actually tend to shoot a lower percentage after making shots than after missing them--once again sending the idea of the ‘hot hand’ up in smoke.” strangetrue@cs.com

Canadian Ancestors: A Beginner’s Guide, published by Ancestry in 2007.

Topics at the Campbell River seminar will include: ● Write Your Family History — One of the best ways to create a lasting memory of your ancestors is to tell the stories of their lives.

While a genealogical chart can seem daunting (or even worse, boring) to a non-genealogist, a narrative is accessible.

A well-written story will make other family members much more aware about, and more interested in, the research that you are doing. This talk -- by a genealogist who has been a journalist since 1972 – includes some ideas that will help you get over your writer’s block. ● It’s About Time – A Simple Way to Organize your

Work — While the fun is in finding new information, the way you assemble your information is essential to your overall success.

Organizing, sorting, and categorizing what you discover will help you to notice overlooked details and further your research. One of the best strategies is to use a timeline, or a chronology, because it will help identify gaps, and might point to sources you might have otherwise missed. ● Family History in Western Canada — Western Canada is the youngest part of the country; serious settlement did not begin until thousands of people arrived from San Francisco for the Fraser River gold rush in 1858. They were followed by millions of people from just about everywhere. Today, it is possible to find plenty of information about

the people of Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

Some national and regional sources will help, but it pays to know the differences among the four provinces. The first thing to do is to sort out the geography, because two of the provinces are barely a century old.

Fishing 2X14 Corner with Don Daniels email: dond@campbellrivermirror.com Fishing has been slow in local lakes in the Campbell River. The water is cold and so is the weather. If lures and flies are not working, try fishing from shore using a worm. I stopped into Tyee Marine and the staff was very helpful with updating me with the latest fishing conditions on the lakes and Upper Campbell Lake saltwater. The bigger lakes like the Campbell and Comox, fish very well trolling Wiggle Wood lures.

If you y are new to the area and want a free pub publication, the Vancouver Island Trout Fis Fishing Guide is available at the local tackle sho in Campbell River and Courtenay. shops While I was browsing Tyee Marine in Cam Campbell River, I noticed a fly selection cal called the Fly Mutipack, ranging in price fro from $2.98 to $4.98. This fly selection wou would be a good start for fishing the lakes and rivers in the area. Trout are being Larry Stefanyk VI Fishing Guide Publisher caught on the north end of Wolf lake trolling a wedding band. Quinsam Lake is fishing well for small size trout and a few big ones have been hooked by Campbell River angler Kris Salter.

Halibut opened March 1 and it has been reported that fishing is slow at the moment. A few fish have been caught in the 30 to 50 pounds range.

The Hump has been a destination point in Campbell River. Prawning by Twin Islands and Francisco Point has been good using a mixture of pellets and Carlyle cat food.

Prawning at Nootka Sound is improving at Friendly Cove. The folks at Moutcha Bay Resort have been fishing for springs in 67 to 77 feet of water where the bait Prawns fish are showing up. Hoochies blue, blackk and pink were used. Moutcha Bay Resort opens for the season May 18. My first visit to this area was in 2006 and a lot of changes have been made at this facility.

Local fishing guide Harry MacDonald was fishing in Gold River and walked through 16 inches of snow to gget to his favorite fishing pool. His sh partner was John Drewett from fishing Lon England.

London Imp Impressions Custom Framing in Cam Campbell River is displaying replica cre creations of fish and sea life done by Qua artist William Van Orden. His Quadra wor is very realistic and I plan to visit work his studio this summer to view his Brooke Honey with replica Coho creations.

of oil tankers passing through local waters each year. This is the first of a three-part Black Press series looking at the logistics, risks, and politics involved.

Jeff Nagel Black Press The Everest Spirit, an oil tanker the length of two and a half football fields, nudges slowly under the Second Narrows Bridge.

In its bowels is enough crude oil to fill more than 30 Olympic swimming pools, loading it down so that it sits 13 metres deep in the water, close to the carefully prescribed maximum safe draft for the narrow, shallow channel.

The ship is one of 32 tankers that last year loaded crude from Burnaby’s Westridge terminal, the end of an 1,100-kilometre pipeline that runs from northern Alberta southwest across B.C. to the Pacific.

But Kinder Morgan, which owns the Trans Mountain pipeline, has big plans to turn the current trickle of oil through Vancouver’s harbour into a gusher.

It is expected to formally begin the process this spring to twin the pipeline and increase its current

The Everest Spirit eases its way into Vancouver Harbour, one of 21 tankers that loaded crude from Burnaby’s Westridge terminal last year.

300,000-barrel-per-day capacity to as much as 700,000.

Some would continue to flow to refineries in Burnaby and Washington State.

But export oil bound for tankers is projected to soar from a current 80,000 barrels per day to 450,000 if the project proceeds.

The number of tankers filling up in Burnaby could hit 288 in 2016, four times more than the record 69 crude tankers in 2010.

That prospect has alarmed environmentalists who worry the risk of a catastrophic spill

is increasing and say Metro Vancouverites never signed on to become Alberta’s oil port.

“People are terrified about this,” said Georgia Strait Alliance executive director Christianne Wilhelmson.

“If an accident happens, we live here.

We’re going to lose our orcas.

“We’re going to lose our salmon.

We’re going to lose our businesses that rely on a pristine environment.

The tankers move in the harbour with extensive safeguards.

Tankers must be accompanied by three tugs from Westridge

Terminal all the way to English Bay. There, tankers are unaccompanied southeast through the Strait of Georgia to Saturna Island, where they’re met again by Vancouver Island-based tugs that accompany them through Boundary Pass and Haro Strait until they pass Race Rocks and reach the wider waters of Juan de Fuca Strait between Victoria and Washington’s Olympic Peninsula.

Agencies on both sides of the border watch for any deviation from the defined shipping lane, which largely follows the international boundary. And a U.S. rescue tug based out of Neah Bay can scramble if any ship loses power and drifts towards rocks or shoreline.

The tankers must sail with two pilots – highly trained experts on local waters – in addition to the ship’s captain and navigation officer.

The pilots command the vessel and don’t depend on the ship’s instruments – bringing their own laptops for GPS navigation and charting.

One monitors instruments and calls out any deviations from the precision course through the Second Narrows, while the other actually steers and monitors other conditions, such as wind and current.

If one of the tugs failed, the other two – or even just one larger tug – could control the tanker and tow it to safe anchorage, says Pacific Pilotage Authority president and CEO Kevin Obermeyer.

“It really is overkill,” he said. “But Cont. on Page 16

Regulatory overkill applied to tanker precautions From Page 14 it’s overkill for a good reason.”

Other regulations also apply.

Tankers only move in daylight with a minimum of one mile visibility, at a maximum of six knots, and only pass through the Second Narrows at slack tide.

And loaded tankers have the channel to themselves – all other ships must wait – all

but eliminating the risk of collision.

“The tankers are probably the most protected species out there,” Obermeyer said.

Some of the rules stem from an incident in 1978 when the freighter Japan Erica hit the Second Narrows railway bridge in heavy fog.

Pilots train for disaster using simulators, but the pilotage authority PERSONAL SERVICES

has also staged live harbour tests to verify that tugs can indeed control an errant tanker with an engine or rudder failure.

Unlike the singlehulled Exxon Valdez, which spilled more than 230,000 barrels off Alaska in 1989, all tankers loading are required to be doublehulled.

That’s no panacea – double-hulled tankers have also breached and spilled MERCHANDISE FOR SALE

– but it’s another improvement shipping defenders point to as evidence the times have changed.

Indeed, through most of B.C.’s centurylong history of safely moving oil on water, tankers did not have the benefit of tugs, pilots or modern navigational aids like GPS. That trend is borne out in worldwide tanker accident statistics, which show

spills in the 2000s released about a quarter as much oil as they did in the two previous decades and about one twelfth as much as the 1970s.

“I would say it’s extremely safe,” Obermeyer said. “Can I say we would never have an accident? No, I can’t say that.”

Capital Regional District director Mike Hicks argues there’s a serious risk of a collision at the western entrance to Juan de Fuca Strait, where ships converge in a narrower lane and local pilots are not required.

It notes a bulk carrier in 2009 dragged anchor in high winds and was blown onto a rocky reef near Mayne Island.

DISCOVER WHAT

REAL COMFORT IS! Do you sleep better in hotel beds than you do at home?

Do you feel tired when you wake up most mornings?

Maybe there are signs that your back is aching for a new mattress.

Most people replace their beds about every 10 years, but everyone's body is different.

Just like you don't aspire to be average in other ways in your life, what do you say to trying out a few mattresses to see if you are better than average when it comes to bedding too?

It's true that most mattresses come with 10 or 20 year warranties. However, that is due to solid construction and warranty life doesn't necessarily match up with comfort life.

Listen to your body, not your warranty.

It might be time for Queen Size a new mattress.
