Council concedes on huge tax cut Mallory Drive property’s tax bill falls from $103,000 to $216 thanks to shift to ‘educational’ status $103,000 in municipal levies paid to the city in 2003. Revenue from the lot declined to approximately $80,000 in 2004 when the property was subdivided, then dropped below $240 when Teleglobe Canada ULC sold it to the University of Victoria the following year. “It’s something that’s been a burr in my bonnet for quite a

Port Alberni will have to accept getting next to nothing in taxes for a south-end property owned by the University of Victoria due to provincial legislation. Last year municipal taxes for 2180 Mallory Drive totalled $216 — a fraction of the property’s
while, that $200 in taxes,” said Coun. Jack McLeman at a public meeting on July 27. “That’s still prime property in Port Alberni.” When Teleglobe Canada owned the lot it was valued at $1.1 million in 2004, but the land is now assessed at $877,000. “We sold it to the University of Victoria and it suddenly wasn’t
worth as much,” McLeman said. “The concern I’ve got is just because someone sells property for a different use, is that property suddenly not worth as much?” UVic benefits from provincial legislation that excludes universities from paying municipal taxes. The arrangement exists “to ensure that public education
is provided at a reasonable cost,” said Murray Griffith, UVic’s executive director of financial services in an interview with the Times early this year. In January council directed staff to look into if and how property benefits to the community. See SEISMIC, Page 3A
SUSTAINABILITY
Growth through growing Local community garden providing food and skills KRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
P
lanting vegetables and pulling weeds has turned into a growing passion for some local residents. Since tenants of the Canadian Mental Health Association’s Rogers Street Apartments started a new garden bed project two months ago, they have benefitted not only from an abundance of fresh food, but from valuable skills necessary for independent living. The project marked the completion of Christine Milligan’s four-year Bachelor of Social Work studies at the University of Victoria. “I am passionate about growing food for holistic reasons,” Milligan said. “I have experienced myself that it reaches biological, psychological, sociological and spiritual realms of being.” She thought the nourishment, exercise and sense of accomplishment could be applied to her final practicum at the Rogers Street complex. Residents were exposed earlier this year to basic cooking lessons from North Island College student, Alice Sam. The garden pro-

ject follows the same principles. Small plots had previously been started, but when Milligan arrived, they were overgrown and full of weeds. With the help of more than a dozen residents, the green space was extended about three times its size with garden beds for individual planting. Fencing was constructed and the area was made wheelchair accessible. Residents were made part of the decision-making process and provided with a sense of ownership. “I noticed conversations arose that might not have otherwise,”
Milligan said. “Skills and abilities just came out when things needed to be done. When we needed latches made for the fence, someone made them.” Residential co-ordinator Mark Vandervelde said he has seen a noticeable difference since the completion of the garden. “Any other time there would only be two to three people working in it,” Vandervelde said. “Now with Christine, there are always about 10 to 12. “The benefit of food security is number one, but on par is the camaraderie, interaction and communication.
“A lot of people here tend to isolate themselves so this is a way to come out and do something healthy and productive.” He said the neighbours seem to appreciate the improvements and enjoy seeing the progress of the gardens. “There are still challenges with different personalities, but it has been a co-operative effort to work and live together,” Vandervelde said. Resident Diane Avery, 65, says gardening keeps her young. “My dad had a green thumb and I think I got it from him,” Avery said.

“It is a lot of hard work but I am proud of it.” Pat Newfield, too, is reaping the fruits of her labour. Initially unsure of taking part, she now enjoys tending her beds daily. “It feels awesome to see everything grow,” Newfield said. “I like to come out here alone to weed and water.” Tenants plan on using their harvest for canning, processing and drying. “This gives us an opportunity to evolve over time,” Vandervelde said.

KRISTI DOBSON ALBERNI VALLEY TIMES
TAX CUT, from Page 1
What attracts people to Port Alberni? That is a question that keeps tourism operators and local business owners scratching their heads. Whether coming for vacations or to relocate and call the Alberni Valley home, numbers are increasing at the visitor centre this month. But are people getting a clear message about what the city has to offer and what the community is all about? With the various tag lines, including Bear Tracks and Lumberjacks, Stay and Play, Discover Alberni and the Heart of Vancouver Island, those involved in marketing campaigns hope to cash in on an eclectic mix of local features. Alberni Valley Chamber of Commerce executive director Bill Collette said visitor numbers have been driving upwards but cannot site one specific draw. “The beautiful weather is certainly a prime reason,” he said. “That and the Canadian dollar are helping. It is amazing to see all kinds of license plates from all over the U.S. in the parking lot (of the visitor centre).” Last week the Chamber, along with the City of Port Alberni and the McLean Mill committee, launched a new design to accompany its trade show booths. Featuring the steam train, it is one of several “skins” the groups are hoping to produce for specific campaigns. This one was designed by Alicia La Rue who decided to move to Port Alberni for the opportunity to live, work and play in an affordable place. Collette, a member of the McLean Mill committee, said it
Although owned by UVic, the location is not a university campus with local staff and students. Ocean Networks Canada operates on the site, a scientific monitoring organization owned by the university. The site hosts Ocean Networks’ NEPTUNE project, a 840-kilometre undersea telecommunications cable that spans the west coast of Vancouver Island, branching out into the Pacific Ocean. NEPTUNE measures seismic activity, vessel traffic and undersea data, including information that helps to warn vulnerable communities like Port Alberni of an approaching tsunami. In the past OCN has worked with the city on tsunami education by contributing to a permanent display at the Maritime Discovery Centre. Data gathered from the undersea project connected to the Mallory Drive property also leads to profits for some corporations involved in the initiative. IBM Canada is among OCN’s major funders. OCN’s 2012/13 annual report speaks of the “commercialization of research results.” Coun. Chris Alemany noted that dependence on for-profit organizations to back university projects is a reality academic organizations now face. “I think that there has been a big shift from purely public-funded research to models where industry has to come up,” he said. “It’s an amazing project... it’s too bad that we don’t get more of the property tax from it, but it appears that there’s no way around that.”

will be used in specific markets. He said the train is not the only thing that best represents Port Alberni, but having a large display of the locomotive will spark conversation. “People are not necessarily coming here for the train, but now, however, I think this will help,” he said. “When people are walking by the booth at a trade show, they might have questions about the train.” Sandy and Mike Hagen stopped by Cathedral Grove on the weekend and said they came
for the nature. The couple took a day trip and planned on visiting Stamp Falls. “We researched online and saw the nice waterways,” Sandy said. Ambassador Dewayne Parfitt said a lot of European tourists already have an idea in mind after doing their reseeach. He said a lot of people arrive with plans to see the forests and destinations like Tofino and Uclulet, but he lets them know the reasons for stopping in Port Alberni.
“We always tell them about the train, McLean Mill, and the Frances Barkley,” he said. “The bombers are alwyas popular too.” Collette said the goal of the trade booth skins is to feature other aspects of the community with the removable feature. The only other one produced so far features a woman with a large, freshly caught fish. “For example, the kite board community could pay for one to go to trade shows to market that,” Collette said.

An initiative responsible for collecting almost 10,000 pounds of unwanted fruit from people’s properties last year is asking the city for support to allow the volunteer-driven program to grow. Since 2012, the Alberni Valley Gleaning Project has picked fruit that would otherwise be discarded from local trees, dividing the produce amongst the landowner, a charity and the volunteers responsible for the harvest. Heather Shobe of the local Transition Towns Society said the initiative has allowed more residents to subsist off of the Alberni Valley rather than produce trucked in from elsewhere. What lies on grocery store shelves might not always be enough to feed the com-

munity, she warned during an address to city council on July 27. “It is well known that the Island has only a few days of food supply in case of an emergency,” she said. Encouraging the picking of local produce also reduces carbon fuels released during the transportation of food in the Valley, while the Gleaning Project has brought people together over its three years of growth. “The project offers a forum for community collaboration, education and the celebration of our local resources,” wrote Shobe in a recent letter to the city. Shobe requested $3,000 from the municipal government to help cover the Gleaning Project’s costs, which include coordination and possibly an electric bicycle to help volunteers
transport gear to the picking sites. Another request is for the use of a city truck a few times a week during picking season, and for the program to be included in a municipal insurance policy. City manager Ken Watson said a similar arrangement has been done before to help a local initiative. “Other volunteer groups have in the past been able to utilize city vehicles,” he said. “There are some conditions that apply before our insurance can apply for that.” The possible funding for the Alberni Valley Gleaning Project has been referred to the city’s Community Investment Program for approval, while municipal staff have been directed to look into options for insurance coverage and the use of a vehicle.

Robot cars could make roads safer
T
his week the Prince George Citizen launched an online poll asking which current behaviour will be unthinkable 100 years from now? As of Friday morning, there were 274 responses. Handwriting was the top vote getter with 84 votes. Factory farming and manually operating a smartphone were at the bottom with 27 and 34 votes respectively. In the middle of the pack were euthanasia and assisted suicide as illegal with 68 votes and driving your own vehicle, chosen 61 times by 22 per cent of the respondents. Some people already feel handwriting is a thing of the past. The legalization of assisted suicide is already in progress, due to a Supreme Court decision earlier this year. The science fiction sounding answer in the bunch seems to be driving your own vehicle yet it could be the one closest to becoming reality. With so many people taking to the highways over the
past long weekend, consider the prospect of driverless cars. Never mind 100 years, it could be just 10 years away. The transition could be as fast and jarring as switching from horse and buggy to the first cars was. Not only does the technology exist, it’s already undergoing realworld trials after years of testing and development. Millions are being spent by companies as big as Google and as small as Clearpath Robotics, a Canadian-based company that produces unmanned vehicles for clients in the military, mining and agriculture. On its website, Clearpath asks: “The future is autonomous. Are you ready?” Some misleading advertising there because the future is now and this technology doesn’t care if people are ready or not. Driverless vehicles have to ability to significantly reduce the number of deaths and injuries on roads. Computers don’t drive drunk, they don’t fall asleep, they won’t get
mad at other drivers, they won’t speed or drive dangerously and they will do a much better job of driving to road conditions than overconfident and/or inexperience humans. If this sounds foreign and impossible, think again. A big part of a flight to Vancouver (or anywhere else) on a passenger plane of any significant size happens with the computer at the controls. There is no technical reason why the computer couldn’t also take off and land the plane. Once in Vancouver, hopping on the Canada Line means taking a driverless train downtown. There are no technical reasons why computers couldn’t also pilot freight trains. One day soon, it will be as illegal to drive your own vehicle on a public street as it is to drive a horse and buggy down the middle of a busy highway. Stealing a vehicle will be as stupid as stealing someone’s smartphone with its GPS locator engaged. Your vehicle
will never get lost, will know the fastest way, will be able to avoid construction and accidents, will be able to automatically seek assistance when in trouble and will quickly know where the parking spot closest to the entrance is. Off-road driving in forestry, farming, mining and other natural resource development activity would also be safer and more efficient if handled by computers. Besides not needing to rest, on-board computers and sensors would certainly be better judges of changing road and weather conditions. While this sounds like progress to many people, it could be a nightmare for hundreds of thousands of Canadians in driving jobs, piloting everything from freight and passenger trains to delivery vehicles, taxis and short- and long-haul trucks. Their disbelief will not slow down its implementation. A union representative for drivers at the Suncor facility in Fort McMurray
was quoted recently poo-poohing Suncor’s plans to investigate using driverless trucks. Well, they can’t be driverless, what if they get stuck, the poor fellow asked. Two answers. First, they won’t get stuck nearly as often. Second, numerous unmanned vehicles getting themselves unstuck in difficult terrain have already been tested extensively in real-world settings or off-world settings, if you include the two Mars Rovers. Jobs will be lost, the economy will restructure and people will adapt as driverless vehicles all but eliminate the death and destruction that is a regular occurrence on our streets and highways. Based on past summer long weekends, more tragedy will continue with humans behind the wheel. Technology is about to get us around those corners and to our destinations more safely.
rules for harvesting, replanting, stream protection, etc. Now the owners of the private lands can do anything they want on them and export as many logs as they like. Doubtless the current massacre on area forest lands far exceeds the old annual allowable cut and the old restrictions on harvesting. What we’re now seeing is the rape of the forests with all the deleterious effects on the landscape and the environment, and with huge increases in raw log exports. And nobody, including Mayor Ruttan, is challenging the government’s actions. All this being said, however, while we could and should increase environmental stewardship, we could not increase local lumber manufacturing.
First: Why can’t city hall have cedar siding on its face? This city was built on lumber and it seems the only buildings that reflect that are Coulson buildings and the Tseshaht office. Why is that? I think cedar siding will definitely improve the look. Second: Why are there no signs that indicate where washrooms are in the city. Travelling people need to know these things. Or else they go to MacDonalds and Walmart where they ‘know they are’. I see Johnny on the Spot for Wednesday Market and hope they are here for the summer. What about a real permanent washroom at the site for all the tourists that stop to look at our bears? Third: Signage that says ‘3 k Dike Walk, Dog Park, RV Parking, 1 km ahead right’ On Johnston Road. A washroom in this area wouldn’t go amiss either. People wanting a walk and people with pets would love it but they don’t even know it’s there. They just turn the corner and drive off to Tofino. Lucky Tofino.

Mayor’s raw log trend is shameful, shortsighted It is very shortsighted for Mayor Ruttan to believe that shipping raw logs is “saving jobs” in the Alberni Valley. Yes, some loggers may be kept working in the short term but the “value added” component of the timber is lost forever. It would be better to leave the timber standing until such a time as demand for lumber and other finished products
increases again. It is also shameful to see truckloads of logs leaving the Valley to support jobs in the distant sawmills of Nanaimo, Chemainus, and elsewhere. The Alberni Valley is being raped of its resources. Jobs are not saved in this way. At one time, B.C. forestry regulations insisted that logs be processed near their origin and thus local economies were supported. Whatever happened to that sensible policy? I think we know the answer to that question. Partelow Hogeweide Cawston, B.C.
Raw log export part of forestry’s massacre It’s obvious that our current mayor knows nothing about forestry and our former mayor, Ken McRae, is very forgetful. What happened in 2004 is that Gordon Campbell and Mike De Jong took the private lands out of TFL 44, thereby making possible the unfettered export of raw logs. When the private and public forests were in TFL 44, there was an annual allowable cut and

Toronto Blue Jays’ new starting pitcher David Price works against the Minnesota Twins during first inning AL baseball action in Toronto on Monday. [THE CANADIAN PRESS]
David Price deadly in his first start with Jays STEPHEN WHYNO THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — David Price Day had everything from rousing ovations and powering strikeouts to the thrill of danger and the offensive explosion the Toronto Blue Jays are known for. Thanks to 11 strikeouts from Price in eight strong innings, his debut was also a 5-1 victory against the Minnesota Twins that put the Blue Jays in a tie for an American League wildcard spot. “I just wanted to go out there and have fun, pitch as deep as possible into the game and keep it close for our offence,” a smiling Price said. “I’m definitely thrilled with the way today went.” Price was dominant all afternoon, especially after he gave up a home run to Torii Hunter in the second and loaded the bases with no outs in the fourth. The ace left-hander acquired last week from the Detroit Tigers showed why the Blue Jays were willing to pay a hefty price, retiring the final 15 batters he faced. “The place was alive,” manager John Gibbons said of Price getting out of the bases-loaded jam. “That’s hard to do. I don’t care how good a pitcher you are. That’s real hard to do. But he pulled it off and really ran from there.” As he walked off the mound following his 119th pitch, Price tipped his cap to the sellout crowd of 45,766 at Rogers Centre that fixated on and adored his every move. His 11 strikeouts tied a franchise record for a pitcher making his debut, and he allowed just three hits and two walks. “That’s what an ace does,” said
second baseman Ryan Goins, who hit a solo home run. Price brushed off the strikeout record and said he would’ve rather gotten all 27 outs. But the way he dazzled the crowd contributed to the buzz on the holiday Monday in Toronto. Running off the experiences in his career from the 2008 World Series run with the Tampa Bay Rays through last year’s playoffs with the Tigers, Price put his Blue Jays debut at the top of the list. “That was the best atmosphere I’ve ever been in,” Price said. “I’ve pitched in quite a few big games, but that atmosphere today, that takes the cake. I’ve never experienced anything like that. That was cool.” When Price was in the dugout, the lineup Josh Donaldson confidently declared the best in baseball got to Minnesota starter Ervin Santana and the bullpen to the tune of eight hits and two home runs. In addition to Goins, Donaldson hit a two-run home run, his 27th of the season, and later heard chants of “M-V-P.” “It’s not like we’ve seen it a couple times,” Gibbons said of Donaldson’s power. “He’s been doing it all year.” Edwin Encarnacion and Justin Smoak each added an RBI single to help the Blue Jays move to within 5 1/2 games of the idle New York Yankees for first in the AL East. Toronto has won five of six games. “This is a good time for us, and this is when you need to be playing your best baseball, anyhow, no matter who you’re playing,” Donaldson said. “I’m not saying that the games before weren’t important, but this is when you can make up some ground and see where lie in the standings.”

Hamilton Tiger-Cats’ wide receiver Bakari Grant celebrates his touchdown during a CFL game in Hamilton on Monday. [THE CANADIAN PRESS]
Hamilton wins 34-18 over Toronto at home DAN RALPH THE CANADIAN PRESS
HAMILTON — Zach Collaros and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats continue to roll at Tim Hortons Field. Collaros threw three TD passes as Hamilton defeated the Toronto Argonauts 34-18 on Monday night to remain unbeaten at the new facility. The Ticats (3-2) improved to 8-0 overall at the stadium — which includes their 40-24 East Division final win over the Montreal Alouettes — and moved into a tie with Toronto (3-2) atop the East Division standings. “It felt like the East final with all the anticipation and hoopla around the game but I thought we did a good job of locking in,� Collaros said.

SERVELLO: In loving memory of our dear mother, grandmother & great-grandmother, Hermina Servello, who passed away August 4, 1988. Mom, how we love and miss you. You were always there for us, to see our dreams come true. Your caring, giving & loving heart, was captured by those you knew. You asked so little in return, to see us happy was your main concern. You worried & surely cried, so much you must have felt, yet quietly would hide. Compassion you had for family and friends, made them love you so. Though how we sometimes tend to forget, the dreams & needs that were yours & yet, how will we ever know. If only we could bring you back to sit and talk awhile, If only we had one more day to see your sweet, kind smile. Mom, you gave us such a special life, then yours was sadly taken. But God’s promise to us, is an everlasting life, That will never be forsaken. A devoted mother, a wonderful friend, God’s unique & precious pearl. Mom, how we love & miss You. Forever in our hearts & prayers, Judy, Laurie & family.

ELECTION 2015
Governor General calls federal election for Oct. 19 Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s announcement sets stage for 11-week campaign THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Stephen Harper says he has asked Governor General David Johnston to dissolve Parliament, touching off an 11-week campaign in advance of an election Oct. 19. Harper made the announcement Sunday outside Rideau Hall, square in the middle of the August holiday weekend, ending months of speculation and conjecture about when the campaign would begin. He was quickly peppered with media questions about why he was subjecting Canadians to a campaign that promises to be the longest in more than a century and the costliest in the country’s political history. Simple, Harper replied: Conservative rivals are already campaigning, and they’re doing it on the public dime. “If we’re going to begin our campaigns and run our campaigns, that those campaigns need to be conducted under the rules of the law, that the money come from the parties themselves, not from the government resources, parliamentary resources or taxpayer resources,�
HARPER
he said. “In terms of the advantages this party has, in terms of the fact that we are a better financed political party, a better organized political party and better supported by Canadians, those advantages exist whether we call this campaign or not. “What we do by calling this campaign is making sure we are all operating within the rules and not using taxpayers’ money directly.� NDP Leader Tom Mulcair was scheduled to launch his party’s campaign moments after Harper’s event; Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is scheduled to make a statement later in Vancouver, where
he is attending that city’s Pride parade. Harper stands to become the first prime minister since Sir Wilfrid Laurier in 1908 to win four consecutive elections. The very rarity of that feat goes a long way towards explaining his real reasons for choosing to formally call Canada’s 42nd election in the middle of a holiday weekend in the dead of summer, triggering a gruelling, 11-week marathon rather than the five-week sprint that’s typified federal campaigns in recent times. The unusually long campaign activates an obscure provision in the Harper government’s overhaul of election laws last year, allowing parties and their candidates to spend more than double the spending limits of $25 million and $100,000, respectively, that would have applied for a minimum 37-day campaign. Having amassed vastly more money than any other party, the increased spending limits give the Conservative party and its candidates a huge advantage over their more impoverished rivals. It’s been clear for weeks how the ruling party intends to use its financial advantage: to carpet bomb the air
waves with attack ads. Conservative ads trashing Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau as “just not ready� to be prime minister have been ever-present on radio and television for more than two months already. Liberal insiders admit they’ve been effective, contributing to the Liberals’ slow decline in the polls to third place from their front-running status over the previous two years. Late Friday, the Conservatives suddenly turned their sights on NDP Leader Tom Mulcair with similar attack ads depicting him as an unethical, opportunistic “career politician.� Having helped drive Liberal support to the NDP, they’ve now evidently decided they need to blunt Mulcair’s momentum at the outset of the campaign. The shifting targets of the Tory ads reflect the tricky two-front war facing the governing party. At a time when the economy has tanked and polls suggest two-thirds of the electorate are looking for a change, the Conservatives risk driving change seekers to coalesce behind the NDP if they attack the Liberals too hard, and vice versa.

he average adult in Nanaimo drinks an average of 125 litres of alcohol each year, say statistics provided by Island Health. That’s well above the provincial average of 103 litres of liquor per person, but close to the average on Vancouver Island of 124 litres. But Nanaimo’s drinking statistics pale in comparison to Lake Cowichan, where statistics indicate the average person drinks a whopping 320 litres of alcohol each year. The statistics are included in Island Health’s local health profiles for communities on Vancouver Island. The stats don’t distinguish between the types of alcohol that are being consumed. They are determined by sales in each community’s private and public liquor stores. Lake Cowichan mayor Ross Forrest said there are several reasons why his community’s alcohol consumption appears to be higher than others on the Island. He said the main one is that Lake Cowichan’s population of approximately 3,100 people more than doubles with tourists during the summer season. “All of our campgrounds are full all summer long with visitors and tourists on vacation and I’m sure they are keeping the local liquor stores pretty busy,” Forrest said. “I’m not saying that the local residents don’t drink, but liquor sales in this area are driven a lot
At last measurement, a Skutz Falls fire that ignited Tuesday evening was mapped at 16 hectares, up six hectares from Wednesday’s estimate, according to the BC Coastal Fire Centre, but that number may be deceiving. While the fire likely did grow in area, the higher measurement also means crews were able to gather more exact GPS data.

by the huge amount of people that vacation here. “There is also the fact that our local pub closed two years ago and almost all local liquor sales around here are now made at the liquor stores.” With just 82 litres of liquor consumed per person each year, according to Island Health, the residents of Ladysmith drink less than any other Island community. Paul Hasselback, medical health officer for central Vancouver Island, said liquor consumption on the Island decreased shortly after the province introduced more stringent drinking and driving laws a few years ago. But he said the numbers have been “creeping back up.” “I don’t think there has been
enough concerted attention given to the downsides of alcohol abuse on the general population,” Hasselback said. “There has been a lot of work in recent years informing pregnant women of the dangers of alcohol, but the same level of warnings are not there in which the correlations between alcohol-related illnesses and alcohol sales in each community are assessed and compared.” He said recommendations from the province’s recently completed liquor review would actually see an increase in accessibility to alcohol. He said health authorities would like to see higher prices for liquor with high alcohol content, and minimum prices put in place.

Recovery centre tends to young grosbeak Sylvia Campbell Wild N Free
T
he juvenile grosbeak was brought in last week after its nest was destroyed and the parents did not return to care for it. As it is still young our best guess is a black-headed grosbeak. In many areas of western North America, the melodious song of the black-headed grosbeak is a familiar harbinger of spring. This species breeds from subalpine forests to desert riparian zones throughout western North America from southwestern Canada to southern Mexico. Relatively tolerant of human disturbance, it breeds in yards and gardens if adequate cover for nesting and feeding is available. Along river corridors in the Great Plains, the range of the black-headed grosbeak overlaps that of the closely related rose-breasted grosbeak (Pheucticus ludovicianus), and the two species are known to hybridize. The black-headed grosbeak is sexually dimorphic and socially monogamous. Adult males have a flashy black, white, and
After its nest was apparently destroyed somehow, this young grosbeak bird was admitted to the North Island Wildlife Recovery Centre for care until release.
cinnamon plumage; females are relatively drab buff and brown. Despite their showy plumage, males share nest duties about equally with females. Both male and female black-headed grosbeaks sing, and both sexes often do so from the nest. Male song appears to function primarily in territory defense. Female song is
generally a simplified version of male song and appears to function in communication between mates and in maintaining family groups once the young fledge. Occasionally, females sing full “male” song, apparently to deceive mates about the presence of intruders and force greater nest attentiveness.
HEALTH
One interesting feature of the black-headed grosbeak is that males do not attain definitive nuptial plumage until their second breeding season and vary in appearance from female-like to adult-male-like in their first potential breeding season. Only yearling males that most closely resemble adult males are able to defend a
territory and attempt to breed. Extent of plumage development is positively correlated with testes size in yearling males. The subadult plumage worn by yearling males apparently helps deter aggression from older males: yearling males in female-like plumage are subject to less aggression from older males than are yearlings in adult-male-like plumage. Yearling males also arrive later on the breeding grounds than older males, likely to reduce aggressive encounters with more experienced adults. Given their widespread distribution, diverse habitat use, and relative abundance, it is surprising how little-studied black-headed grosbeaks are. Their nests are accessible compared with high canopy-dwelling species, yet few studies have been conducted on their breeding biology.

Sarcopenia: A pedestrian Needless Path to a Wheelchair with a death wish
S
o what’s the appropriate protein math to prevent sarcopenia? The proposed average is 40 to 70 grams a day depending on body weight ( 0.8 grams of protein per 2.2 pounds). So a 125 pound woman would require 46 grams and a 175 pound man 64 grams. In addition, the amount depends on daily activity. What about exercise? It’s been known for decades that weight lifting and working on resistance machines increases muscle mass and strength in young people. But when this approach was tried on older people their muscles did not get larger. The reason for these poor results was the initial fear that to push older people too hard is unwise. I say “amen” to that, because I’ve seen cases of snapped tendons due to the loading of excessive weights. But there is a positive side if weightlifting is done with caution and not pushed to the limit. When researchers increased weights gradually for those between 60 to 72 years
Dr. Gifford Jones The Doctor Game it doubled their strength in 12 weeks of training. Some frail 90 year olds tossed their canes away in 8 weeks of graduated exercise. There are other benefits to preserving muscle mass. During illness the body withdraws protein from muscles to aid in the healing process and produces antibodies to fight infection. When sarcopenia is present, there’s less ammunition to fight illness. Dr. William Evans, at the University of Arkansas, cites a study in Finland in which men in their late 60s who had lifted weights for years, had muscle mass similar to non-athletes in their 20s. Joggers however, are not protected from sarcopenia as the stress produced by this sport can’t compete with lifting weights.
The message here is that to maintain muscle mass you require an adequate dietary intake of protein along with exercise, preferably using weights. This is not news I like to hear. I’ve enjoyed sports, but not lifting weights. But reluctantly, I keep a pair of weights close to my computer and intermittently use them. I also enjoy replenishing my protein with a six ounce steak (63 grams) and baked potato with skin (5 gm). And to ease my anxiety that I may be protein deficient, I enjoy 5 ounces of red wine (0.3 grams of protein). » W.

T
he collision counter on the DriveSmartBC web site estimates 33 pedestrian deaths and 1374 pedestrian injury collisions in BC to July 29, 2015. I almost added to that number driving in Vancouver last weekend and the incident still has me shaking my head. I can’t believe that a pedestrian could be that stupid! I had stopped for a red light in the downtown area and intended to make a right turn. After the pedestrian signal went red and the people had crossed, I pulled across the marked crosswalk and stopped again where I could see cross traffic well. I found my gap and was about to proceed when I looked right and found a pedestrian right in front of me crossing against the light. He was busy with his cell phone and was wearing earbuds and never even looked at me as he walked around the car. He probably owes some of his good fortune to my wife who yelled and made sure that I hit the brakes before I drove over him.
Tim Schewe Behind the Wheel The courts say that we can expect to proceed as if other road users will obey the laws. What that really means is if I had hit this person, he would probably have been assessed most of the fault for the collision. However, he was there to be seen and I would have bourne some of the blame too. Thank goodness it never came to that! Police wrote only 210 tickets to pedestrians for failing to obey pedestrian signals in all of the province in 2014. It would appear that you have little risk of being called to account for this selfish behaviour. » Tim Schewe is a retired RCMP constable with many years of traffic enforcement experience.
