The Coulson Group has signed a contract with the province of B.C. for the use of the Martin Mars waterbomber, according to CEO Wayne Coulson. “We have notified the province of our rates and we now have a contract in place and we are waiting for government to order the Mars up,” said Coulson. “The earliest we told them is most likely a Thursday start depending how many days they take to decide.” The Coulson waterbombers have not been contracted by the province since the summer of 2013. Coulson expected the plane to be back in the water on Tuesday with flight crew training starting at 10 a.m. and test flying Wednesday. There are 221,455 ha already burning in 180 fires across B.C. as of July 5, compared to an average of 115,464 over the past decade.

◆ COVER STORY

Fire keeps growing on Dog Mountain A fire on Dog Mountain at Sproat Lake had reached 96 hectares by 1 p.m. Monday, July 6, B.C. Coastal Fire Service fire information office Marg Drysdale said. Structural protection units have been installed on the Dog Mountain cabins. “What those are, are sprinkler units that wet down the roofs so the fire passes over,” said Drysdale. One uninhabited cabin was destroyed on Sunday night, according to the CFC. “This area is still considered dangerous due to the rolling debris coming downhill from the fire. The public is cautioned that this is a very active and dangerous response area, and they should

not approach the area by boat or foot,” a CFC statement read. “Air tankers and helicopters have been battling the blaze since yesterday afternoon. Three helicopters and 21 firefighters have been assigned to the fire,” the CFC stated. Ben West, a Lakeshore Road property owner, said the first tanker dropped retardant on the blaze at 2:39 p.m. “We called it in around 12:30 p.m., [there] had been faint smoke for five to 10 minutes before that.” The tanker did three drops before the first helicopter with a bucket appeared just before 3 p.m. “At max there were two separate tankers and three helicopters but that wasn’t until about 7:30 p.m.” A Coulson helicopter

was on duty on Sunday. “The B.C. Fire Service has hired one of our Sikorsky S-61, so we are preparing fuel truck for a dispatch out of town,” Wayne Coulson said Sunday. Coulson said Monday he signed a contract with the provincial government and was waiting for a call for the Martin Mars. He said the waterbomber, which has sat idle since 2013, could be operational by July 9. Residents close to the blaze were evacuated on Saturday by the RCMP, Coastal Fire Centre representative Ellie Dupont said. “There are cabins along the shore that have water access only and the RCMP with Wildfire Management Branch

crew have done a tactical evacuation of those residents,” said Dupont. It is unknown how many cabins are located at the base of Dog Mountain. Weather changes could aid the spread of the fire, said Dupont. “It depends on the wind and the topography,” she said. “Right now the fire has been backing down the hill and when it does that there’s usually debris that rolls down that’s on fire.” Drysdale said that all lake residents are urged to remove any dry, flammable material from their properties so that any embers or ashes do not make the fire jump the lake. The AlberniClayoquot Regional District set up a level one emergency operations centre to provide aid to the forestry fire service and to take care of residents displaced by the flames. A wildfire smoke advisory was issued for the east and south coast of Vancouver Island, including the Alberni Valley. “This situation is expected to persist until meteorological conditions change,” a B.C. Air Quality media release stated.

Cycling in the Valley sits on the cusp of greatness SANDY MCRUER

Pac Rim Active

his month I want to get into another aspect of outdoor recreation, biking. The scene here is fairly active, focusing mainly on mountain biking. But there is solid bunch of dedicated cyclists who make their way around town by bicycle either commuting to work or running errands, and a few who cycle longer distances too. At the moment there is one cycling club in town, the Port Alberni Cycling Club. The cost is a modest $10 and you get discounts from Healthy Habits as well as a weekly e-mail keeping you up-to-date on club outings. They have a website, http://www. pacyclers.com/, but it isn’t very up to date. The Facebook page, https://www. facebook.com/pages/ Port-Alberni-CyclingClub/321548725711 is far more active. Daryl Chase of Healthy Habits loves cycling. He has promoted the

pastime not as a competitive sport, but as a recreational pursuit. He’s all about “getting kids off the couch”. And to that end he sponsors weekly road rides for anyone on Wednesday evening at 6 p.m. from Healthy Habits (the Toonie Rides), and on Saturday at 7 a.m. from Victoria Quay. Nathan Kwan is also very involved in the club. He says that the big event from last year, the Soggy Bottom Marathon will not be repeated. But this fall, look for another race here. Nathan is hoping it will be an “enduro”

race, that is, it tests a rider’s technical skills besides endurance and climbing abilities. Two bike shops, Ozzie’s Cycle and Healthy Habits, have both been very active in promoting the activity in the Valley. There are two fairly extensive networks of trails in the Valley. One is the area around Coombs Country Candy and the other off Faber and Stirling Arm roads at Sproat Lake. There

are some trail maps on the PA Cycling Club website. Both systems are largely on Island Timberlands property. However no agreement between the company and the club or stores in regard to the use or maintenance of them is in place. Island Timberlands policy has been to charge substantial fees and impose hefty insurance requirements for any events or official use

of these trails. The trails were created by dedicated individuals who are loosely connected with the club. They still keep the trails sporadically maintained. However if there is an event, the trails are spruced up so that there are no ugly surprises!

This situation has impeded the growth of mountain biking in the Valley. Still, there has been interest from potential visitors, both from the Island and internationally, in trying out these trails and in deciding whether or not to bring their bikes. And even people who may be new to the Valley are confused by the network of trails, even when they have maps with them, as one doesn’t always know where you are on the maps. As in the hiking situation here, the availability of GPS tracks is sorely needed before any promotion or marketing of the scene here can take place. I am told that it is potentially big business. Word has it that after golf, mountain biking is the second most profitable

recreational sector in Whistler, ahead of skiing. Since 1983 there have been periodic efforts to create bike routes or lanes through the city, but very little progress has been made. Recently however, a Google map has been created that shows where all the bicycle racks are in the City of Port Alberni. The cycling scene has a few passionate advocates. The lands around the Alberni have incredible potential for a wide variety of mountain bike trails. There are many passionate people out there doing their own thing by building trails. And there are lots more cyclists on the road. There seems to be ownership, political, and financial hurdles preventing the realization of this potential.

Living and staying healthy in today’s culture of eating SANDRA GENTLEMAN

Healthy Living

e live in a fast-paced, convenience society that can be detrimental to our health and waistline if we aren’t aware of its long-term physical impact. With the number of food choices and places to purchase food, our environment is full of cues to eat. The marketing budgets for advertising of fast food chains, food products and deals for the consumer to choose in the 21st century are a lot different than even a decade ago. Variety provides incredible options that can boggle the mind and make grocery shopping a maze for the average consumer. There are so many different products with unique ‘man-made’ flavours,

an individual with identifying problems with eating. Is it stomach hunger, mouth hunger or heart hunger that is driving the reason for eating? When the last meal was more than four hours ago, and the stomach starts to grumble, hunger pangs tell a person to eat. Whereas, certain tastes, textures, smells, or flavours will offer the tastebuds the temptation to eat for mouth hunger. Emotions such as anger, loneliness and boredom drive cravings to eat and triggers may cause a person to choose foods that are too high in sugar, salt and fat. With the growing obesity epidemic, many ‘cure-all’ fad diets, food rituals/ belief systems and ways of eating are cropping up in this culture.

it takes much willpower to resist the temptation of sampling and buying these items. Most major food companies employ food scientists who develop, test and offer the unlimited array of synthetic flavours that tantalize the taste buds, such as maple bacon potato chips for example. Selling food to the masses is big business and is a major part of the economy. Food is pleasure, comfort, social, cultural, and sustenance for living. Nobody can quit food. If overly addictive cravings to sweet, salty or fatty food exist and become habitual, a dysfunctional relationship with food can cause disordered eating, such as binging, secretive eating, restrictions and other controlled behaviours that can further cause problems with health.

much of the time will fail or are not sustainable if they don’t address the underlying issues. With the complexity of health problems, navigating nutrition information, the vast array of food products and diets available, it’s no surprise that our society is in a downward spiral when it comes to health, wellness, active recreation and back-to-basics eating. Current trends including promoting food in public areas instead of recreation feed into the obesogenic environment. In addition, meetings set up over lunches, dinner, coffee or teatime may promote the problem, in addition to every holiday’s focus around food. Try walking meetings or gatherings in parks and public spaces to be active instead of sitting. Review daily habits and routines to determine if there is enough active living balanced with basic wholesome foods and recreation. Move more and eat less. Health depends on it.

Sue Hawkins from the Blue Marlin Inn designed ‘Flying Tankers’ flags to support the call to bring the Martin Mars waterbombers back in service. A group of people from the Blue Marlin show their support on Monday just after Coulson Group announced they have signed a deal with the provincial government to put the Hawaii Mars back in service.

Nanaimo wedding photographer Chris Boar captures the Hawaii Mars waterbomber on land Saturday during the wedding for Jen Johnson and Jeff Hurni. Smoke from the Dog Mountain fire, which was first called in around 12:30 p.m. Saturday, can be seen to the left of the trees in front of the landlocked waterbomber.
