Viking Air in North Saanich continues to make inroads into important international markets. Earlier this month, the company announced a deal to sell 10 Twin Otter Series 400 aircraft to RN-Aircraft, a subsidiary of Russian oil company Rosneft.

The first aircraft will be delivered this November with nine more following through to early 2017.

RN-Aircraft, based out of Krasnoyarsk, Russia, will use the aircraft in multiple roles, Viking said in a statement.

The versatile and dependable aircraft will serve as 19-passenger regional commuter planes, corporate shuttles and cargo trans-ports.

“With optional float and wheel/ski installa-tions available, the basic aircraft can also be modified for use in water-based locations or during winter conditions on snow and ice,” Viking said in the statement.

The sale provides a degree of stability to the company, which employs 330 people in North Saanich. The company has a total workforce of 420, including 90 at its final assembly facility in Calgary and a handful of regional sales and marketing directors that operate internationally.

The company went through a difficult period earlier this year when it was forced to lay off more than 100 people.

A resident of the Pauquachin First Nation is worried about the safety of children in her neighbourhood after a large black bear was spotted roaming the area.

“I’m just scared for all the kids and everybody,” said Donna Henry, after the bear was spotted almost every evening last week and has been in the area for a while.

“It’s huge. We’ve never seen bears in our nation.”

Henry said she warned Stelly’s Sec-ondary School about the animal as she is worried for the safety of the com-munity.

Peter Westhaver, principal of Stelly’s, said the bear has been around for a while and that he has notified transpor-tation along with the students at that time, adding authorities are the main ones people should speak with.

“People need to realize you need to go to the authorities, they’re the filter on the wildlife,” he said.

Conservation officers are aware of the bear sightings and said they had set a trap in the area last week to catch it.

“We’re hoping to try to catch this bear sooner rather than later,” said Con-servation Officer, Scott Norris.

He advised people to clean up their garbage along with picking up fruit from fruit trees to try and prevent bears from lurking around their area.

“We’ve educated the residents to clean up their garbage,” he said.

Henry said the important thing is that people know about the bear in the area and take the proper precautions.

Those who see a bear in their area are encouraged to call the conservation office service at 1-8779527277.

“While the Rosneft purchase is great news, and indicates a potential upswing in the Russian market, Viking will be maintain-ing our current production rate (and correlating workforce) until such time as the global demand for the aircraft requires we increase the rate accordingly,” said Angela Murray, Viking’s marketing and business devel-opment spokesperson.

Currently, 18 aircraft are pro-duced annually. The company doesn’t list the cost for produc-ing each plane because sales are often packaged to include parts and services customized to each client’s unique needs.

Viking said Rosneft selected the Twin Otters due to the plane’s ability to efficiently and reliably perform in extreme con-ditions on unprepared ground and short-field sites.

“The selection of the Twin Otter by Rosneft confirms that this aircraft is a credible and cost effective alternative to heli-

copters currently found in Rus-sia and CIS when it comes to utility air transportation,” stated Dominique Spragg, Viking’s vice president of strategic planning.

Viking’s Series 400 Twin Otters are turbo-prop aircraft built with

modern technology and manu-facturing processes. The com-pany also provides replacement parts and servicing for Twin Otters produced by their origi-nal manufacturer, de Havilland.

The B.C. government has committed up to $100,000 a year to share costs of “urban deer management opera-tions,” with an advisory committee to guide communities in reduc-ing the risks and dam-age they cause.

The province is responsible for wildlife management, but the government wants solu-tions to be developed locally. Some commu-nities have resorted to killing deer, with mixed success and sometimes intense local opposi-tion, while others sug-gest birth control, relo-cation or “hazing” of deer using dogs to keep them away from com-munities.

The advisory com-mittee, not yet named, is to continue develop-ing standardized meth-ods, such as how to safely process and dis-tribute meat from deer that are killed.

In rural Central Saan-ich, permits have been issued to use shotguns or bows against deer to protect crops.

Another task for the committee will be to

develop public consul-tation on methods of deer control, to head off protests, legal chal-lenges and vigilante action.

A B.C. government fact sheet advises that if deer are to be killed, they should be caught in traps that look like oversized hockey nets,

then shot with a bolt gun at close range.


On Sept. 24 at 8 p.m. the St. Mary’s Anglican Church in Central Saa-nich had a public infor-mation session discuss-ing the private sponsor-ship of refugees.

Sponsored by the Refugee Committee of the Anglican Diocese of British Columbia, the session was brought to the public to encourage them to work together in a program helping in the dire refugee situa-tion.

Reverend and Refu-gee Co-ordinator for the Anglican Diocese of B.C, Bruce Bryan-Scott gave the presentation on sponsorship of Syr-ian refugees and what the community can do to help. The main topic was private sponsor-ship of refugees (PSRs), which is a way for Syr-ian refugees to have a safe home on the Island.

“It is quite unique to Canada. Other coun-

tries don’t do it this way.

“When you hear about refugees com-ing into the United

Kingdom, or Germany or Austria, they’re all being supported by the government,” he said.

The Anglican Dio-

cese of B.C, like any number of churches, have been involved in refugee work since the 1970s.

“This is not new work for us,” said Bryan-Scott.

He has been to Port Alberni, Courtenay and many other places on the Island to inform others on how they can help.

“Without over stretching ourselves and without overcom-mitting ourselves, I want to see as many families come.”

It was one particular presentation at St. Mat-

thias Anglican Church where a large jump in numbers took place.

Bryan-Scott hoped for 100 and got over 300 people who attended the session.

This came just after the emotional images of the Syrian child lying dead on a beach in Turkey were spread throughout the world media, which Bryan-Scott said was when Canadians started to really become aware of

the crisis. “I don’t go looking for

things that upset me,” he said. “I already knew enough about this. Very often the families are very emotional and I become very dispas-sionate.

“They will get very happy and I won’t be happy until the families are here.”

Sidney’s SHOAL Centre was a happening place on Saturday as Bea-con Community Ser-vices welcomed local

residents to a free open house encouraging active aging and a healthy approach to live their lives.

Every year since it opened, the SHOAL Centre witnessed expo-nential growth in its member-ships — 50 signed up the first year and 191 signed up last year alone.

On the day of the open house, there were half price member-ships offered, which helps draw people in to being a member of the community activity centre.

The idea for the open house came from Activities and Rental Co-ordinator at the SHOAL Cen-tre, Anna Hudson.

“The idea of the open house was to begin to educate the com-munity that SHOAL Centre is not a residential centre,” she said.

A big thing for her, she said, was working to educate the com-munity about all of the kinds of things that SHOAL Centre offers residents as one of the hubs of the Sidney community.

There were many activity departments at the open house for residents to walk around and enjoy. There was knitting and weaving, clay works and ceram-ics, table tennis, woodworking and much more for people to see and do.

From Hudson’s perspective, having been at the Centre for nine years as the activity co-ordinator,

she said that even though the major-ity of residents coming into the centre are active agers, they take in a broad spectrum.

“You can come here and take out a membership and be 30 years old and play table tennis, you don’t have to be a 50-plus person to take out a mem-bership,” she explained.

“But, of course, the bulk of those 900 people (who are mem-bers at SHOAL) are pretty well active agers.”

Hudson posed the question; what kind of quality of life do you

want to have as you age? She said that maintain-ing your health means you can maintain a much higher level of quality of life.

“I know that as each year goes by, it’s not as easy to do things you take for granted. The whole thing abut aging with health

and grace are I think two of the very essentials that people start being in touch with especially when they reach the age of 50,” she told the PNR.

“As soon as you turn 65 you’re considered a senior. When you’re

95 you’re still a senior.” The difference between your

60s and 90s is 30 years and Hud-son likes to call it levels of active aging when it comes to what peo-ple can do.

She said that with the SHOAL Centre offering many differ-ent kinds of classes, people can choose which one they wish to take part in — and that could be different or the same depending on their lifestyle and quality of life.

The SHOAL Centre will be a happening place in the next month with a lot of different activ-ities offered including painting classes, writing workshops, yoga and much more.

Provincial staff can lend avail-able equipment and issue per-mits to manage deer popula-tions in or near urban areas, or develop hunting regulations for local situations.

Using dogs to chase deer is illegal under wildlife protection legislation, but a permit was issued to Kimberley to do a con-trolled trial in 2013. City council declared the trial a success, at a cost of $300 or more a day to deploy trained dogs and han-dlers.

Invermere council found itself embroiled in legal action brought by a group of oppo-nents, despite a local survey that found more than 70 per cent of public support for a deer cull. Invermere officials were dealing with complaints of aggressive deer, deer eating garbage and appearing unhealthy, cougars encroaching on the community to prey on urban deer and deer deaths that appeared to be from

unlawful action.After multiple resolutions

brought to the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in recent years, the province responded last week with the offer of funding and continued

research. Municipalities must obtain permits from the forests ministry before attempting relo-cation, hazing, contraceptive measures that require handling of deer, or culls.

OUR VIEW

We’re seeing the effects of our post-literate, feelings-based education system

and media on the federal election. Candidate bozo eruptions are becoming more frequent.

Most recently a Liberal candidate on Vancouver Island admitted she has long believed that hijacked jetliners could not have destroyed the World Trade Centre on 9/11, that it was all “a lie.” That was “my truth,” she said, in the lingo of the feelings-first, inner-child crowd.

Now she’s “moved on” to a slightly different fact-free conclusion, that we’ll just never know how those 3,000 people were murdered. And she wants to go to Ottawa and help run this country.

Feelings-based beliefs were on display again at last week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver, where bozo eruptions by local politicians come in bunches.

This year’s main outbreak was an emotional demand that the B.C. government enact a provincial bill of rights. This magic municipal Magna Carta “recognizes the right of every resident to live in a healthy environment, including the right to clean air, clean water and vibrant ecosystems.” Alert taxpayers may wonder, how many lawyers would it take to define “vibrant”? More on that in a moment.

Local councils across B.C. and around the country have been pitched this scheme by the David Suzuki Foundation, which calls it the Blue Dot campaign. In short, it’s part of the bigger plan to save the planet by crushing capitalism, currently being pushed by the Pope, the UN and others. Victoria Mayor Lisa

Helps was one of the most passionate backers. She quoted the plea presented to her council by an 11-year-old recruited by the Blue Dot team.

There are many such children, terrified by indoctrination about the imminent destruction of Earth and all its cuddly creatures that has bombarded them since they learned to speak. They are found in

the wealthiest countries in human history, those enjoying health, comfort and opportunity not imagined by anyone 100 years ago.

In the vast, air-conditioned hall of the Vancouver Convention Centre, there were several attempts at adult supervision.

Coquitlam Coun. Terry O’Neill noted that unlike intrinsic rights articulated in Canada’s charter, freedom of assembly and so forth, this is an attempt to invent new rights that are actually demands for “others to do something for you.”

Indeed, if we’re going to have government by 11-year-olds, we

might as well throw in a right to free ice cream.

Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz went off on a rant about how this new “vision” would protect us from things like Volkswagen fiddling its diesel fuel emission results.

The resolution calls for “access to justice when environmental rights are infringed,” which sounds like code for some sort of costly new legal aid program to pursue every individual grievance.

Meanwhile in the real world, class action lawsuits are being prepared to gain compensation for lost resale value of millions of cars. This is what happens in fortunate places like Canada that already have access to justice.

O’Neill read off a long list of existing B.C. legislation that protects water, air, wildlife, food, public health and so on. Helps replied that this bill of rights would “consolidate” all that. One more layer of bureaucracy, that’s the Victoria spirit.

Williams Lake Mayor Walt Cobb pleaded with rural delegates to reject this “David Suzuki propaganda” that is designed to put more roadblocks in the way of the very resource industries that provide our modern comforts.

Alas, the resolution passed in a show of hands that should have been, but wasn’t, put to a counted vote.

Ride the wave of support

Riders with the 2015 Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock team arrive on the Saanich Peninsula tomorrow (Thursday, Oct. 1) after nearly 1,000 kilometres of asphalt under their tires.

Our community is ready to greet them, as local schools and businesses open their doors and individuals get ready to shave their heads in what has become the traditional way to do a little something to raise a few extra dollars (or a lot) to help the cause.

Riders will glide down Sidney’s Beacon Avenue just after 2 p.m. tomorrow (give or take, as they make a variety of stops in the community prior to the official scheduled hour). So, be sure to line the streets if you can, and show your support for their efforts.

That night, the Mary Winspear Centre hosts a special event — Comedy for Cancer — starting at around 6:30 p.m. (See page nine of today’s PNR for event details).

It is the Tour de Rock team of police officers — both civilian and military — that raise a lot of money for the Canadian Cancer Society event. To date, the team of riders have raised nearly $400,000 themselves, en route to their goal of $1 million. The money raised goes to help support families and children from Vancouver Island facing cancer. Since 1998, the Tour de Rock has brought in more than $20 million. So far this year, the team is almost half-way to their goal, thanks to donors from up and down the Island.

The fundraising is still happening and the donations are being counted, so updated figures are not yet available. However, to reach their goal this year, the riders will need your help.

There are plenty of options to do so — from buying a ticket for the Comedy for Cancer event, to going online to the Canadian Cancer Society (cancer.ca) or the Tour de Rock webpage (tourderock.ca) — or even coming out to one of their stops en route as they finish the ride this week.

It’s a great cause. Their efforts and the children fighting cancer deserve our support.

Need more doctors, not more houses

So many concerns from the public regarding the develop-ment of homes and condos in Sidney and North Saanich.

What concerns me is the lack of available doctors and the long waits in the emergency ward that will affect all of us as more and more people settle here and as the rest of us grow older and will require addi-tional care.

This is the reality and the seriousness of the situation as developers are granted permis-sion to increase the numbers of new homes.

Solve this problem before creating a catastrophic situation

that puts everyone at risk.Ann Drew

Reduce taxes and red tape

It was good to see that the large building proposed on Fourth Street in Sidney is to be reduced in size.That’s a start.

How about a reduction of rental costs, taxes and red tape for shops, particularly on Beacon Avenue? It might encourage another independent butcher to come. And cheaper stalls for Thursday fairs, par-ticularly for vendors offering their own products. How about more breathing space and a bet-

ter location for the museum? It could be a great attraction and could be in the old railroad sta-tion.

More than anything, we need an interchange that not only relieves endless congestion at the junction of Beacon Avenue and the highway, but encour-ages people to come in to our unique town. The confusing pedestrian/vehicle operation of the traffic lights must be improved. The parking arrange-ments should look after visitors as well as our own shoppers.

We need some (action) at last, enough of the talk. The wel-fare of our beautiful little town is at stake.

Re: Farm Status Tax Is A Privilege .In response to the article in the PNR Wednes-

day, Sept. 2, I find it really difficult to digest the concerns that local farmer Neville Garner expressed about the ‘onerous paperwork’ he has to do to maintain his farm tax status.

I have no doubt that Neville is a legitimate, hard-working farmer and I have worked for farm-ers like him growing up on the Peninsula. As someone who strongly believes in buying local produce, I fully support the ALR and real farmers in Central Saanich, however supporting the con-cept of farming needs to be separated from the topic of the property tax breaks all farms big or small enjoy.

As a local businessman, like Neville, our com-pany not only pays significant property taxes (dozens of times more than farmers), we are required to keep extensive records for all of our transactions with no significant property tax breaks being offered for doing so. Small business

faces prosecution if we don’t. We make monthly, quarterly and annual tax installments to a variety of government agencies and these costs continue to increase.

In contrast, the benchmark amount of revenue that a farmer has to maintain to get a significant property tax break has not changed in well over a decade. There’s even a website, farmtax.ca, dedi-cated to help farmers find loopholes in the tax system.

So please, show me the form or the receipts I have to show to the BC Assessment Authority for our business to get a status tax break. I would gladly complete any and all forms for the chance to reduce my commercial property taxes while I enjoy the amenities Central Saanich offers.

Farm tax is a privilege and the paperwork to maintain the status discount should not be seen as a burden, it’s the cost of being a farmer.

Another month gone for this year.

Bye-bye September and hello October! And we won-der what to expect, more

of this amazing sunshine? Buckets of rain? Frost? A hurricane? Or our usual fall weather, which is normally a mixture of the above (minus the hurricane, of course.).

Today, for example, is beautifully sunny and warm, with bright fall colour amongst the evergreen trees, as the deciduous ones celebrate their last hur-rah for this year.

Please forgive me if I nag you just a little bit. Have you dug over those flower beds? How about the vegetable beds?

Oh, you say you haven’t had time? May I remind you that this lovely weather isn’t going to last and you’ll be forced to do it wearing a raincoat

and a hat (with rain water running off it, down your aching back)? Please, turn off that infernal TV, put on your boots and get a move on, or it’ll be yesterday’s leftover, overdone meatloaf for dinner again tonight.

It is a good time to get outside and do a few things before the rains come. Maybe we should make a list.

First of all, fold up the deck chairs — it’s getting too cold to sit outside any-way. They should go up above the car in the garage, so this is a two-man job. Sec-ond, put the picnic table in your work-shop and clean off the shovel, the rake and hoe and rub them with grease .

Third, the granular fertilizer shouldn’t get damp, so it needs to go in a small garbage can with a tight-fitting lid.

Fourth, what about the wheelbarrow? I guess we’ll need it to bring in fire-place wood, but it should go under cover as well.

Fifth, lets collect all the stakes (not in use) and tie them in a bundle and put them in a corner of the garage (or shed). There isn’t going to be room for the car if we keep on storing everything in the garage.

Sixth, the lawn mower should be drained of gas (if the lawn has had it’s last hair-cut of this year). It, too, should be cleaned off and the blades greased so they won’t be covered with rust when you need to cut the grass next spring.

Seventh, do you have storm windows? If you do, we’ll need the ladder and someone to hand the panes up to you.

Thus ends another round in the ongoing battle of getting ready for winter.

Bear sightings on the Peninsula

SIDNEY — The local RCMP are reporting vari-ous bear sightings around Sidney and North Saanich this month.

• On Sept. 18 a bear was spotted on the Pauquachin Reserve near Ch Et Mooch Pl. (see page one for the story).

• Sept. 18 at 5:15 p.m. at McTavish and West Saanich.

• Sept. 19 at 8:30 a.m. — a bear seen on the beach near Ardmore Drive. It was last seen headed up a pathway toward houses and the golf course.

• Sept. 22 at 3 p.m. — bear spotted eating garbage in the 8700 block of West Saanich Rd.

Conservation officers have been contacted and went to the Pauquachin Reserve and pro-vided advice for getting rid of available non-bear food sources (i.e. garbage). Conservation offi-cers will be monitoring this situation.

THE ARTS


The Vancouver Island Bead and Jewelry Show is back on Oct. 3 and 4 with makers and enthusiasts getting together to put on the Island’s finest jewelry event.

The show was established in 2013 by two entrepreneurs, Cheryl Bevan-Gellor and Tamara Knott.

“There was nothing quite like this on the Island. You find shows like this on the lower mainland, but nothing quite like this on the Island that appeals to people who make jewelry and also people who love finely crafted artisan jewelry,” said Bevan-Gellor.

“It’s a wonderful project to be involved in and yeah it’s just really fun to be able to work and be a part of the community at the same time,” said Knott.

The show will feature unique beads, gems and findings, locally handcrafted jewelry, live demon-strations and much more, bring-ing in more than 1,500 local bead-ing and jewelry enthusiasts.

Bevan-Gellor who had origi-nally thought up the idea to have the event said it came to

her as there weren’t many spe-cific bead and jewelry stores that cater to people who are jew-elry makers too.

On top of the show features, there will also be 19 hands-on classes taught by those in the DIY beading and jewelry indus-try. People can register in advance to book a spot at http://vibjs.ca/classes.html. A portion of the money from the class will be donated to support the local

charity, Jeneece Place which is a a home away from home for those families travelling to Victo-ria for their child’s medical care. Classes offered can be done by all.

“Almost everything is a begin-ner level class. The results look impressive but they’re actually all beginner and anyone can do them,” said Bevan-Gellor.

The classes range from silver smithing to glass bead and non-hands-on technique classes.

The two organizers said the response has been very strong from the community for those who have a passion or interest in jewelry.

“We’re starting to see that the brand is matur-ing and people are remembering, ‘Oh October is coming up, must be time for the bead and jewelry show,’” she said.

“We have an overwhelmingly positive result and you don’t have to be a jewelry maker to come out to the show, because we also have a lovely section of artisan jewellers,” said Bevan-Gellor.

The show runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Oct. 3 and 4 and tickets are available in advance or at the door. A one day pass is $8 and a two day is $10. For those under 16 years of age, the event is free. People can go online at http://vibjs.ca/tickets.html to purchase tickets or for more information.

Every fall and spring, the Log Cabin Museum in Saanichton puts on a talk and tea series where speakers from the Island will come in and share stories to those in the community.

NORTH SAANICH — Jazz Ves-pers at St. John’s United Church will welcome singer Maureen Washington on Oct. 4 at 7 p.m. She will be accompanied by John MacArthur on guitar and Joey Smith on bass.

With a vocal style inspired by the soulfulness of Etta James and Carmen McRae, the moder-nity of Holly Cole and the playful-

ness of Jann Arden, Washington evokes comparisons to some of the great female jazz singers of our time, yet remains one of a kind.

Washington began her music career in Prince George where she sang in a funk, blues and swing band named BOP. Now based in Victoria, she performs with many different configura-

tions from duos to sextets. She has also performed frequently at Victoria Jazz Fest and has recorded four CDs.

Guitarist John MacArthur is best known for his masterful performances at jazz venues in and around his hometown of Victoria.

Eye InjuriesAt this time of year, our thoughts turn to activi-

ties such as outdoor sports and gardening.This week’s column focuses on the two most

common serious eye injuries.In the � rst instance, we have a traumatic eye

injury. A blow to the eye can lead to loss of vi-sion, immediate medical attention is necessary to give the injured person the best chance for a full recovery.

Keep the individual quiet and assess the solu-tion. DO NOT attempt to remove debris from the eye or rinse the eye. DO NOT attempt to open the eye or put any medication on or around the eye.

The second emergency, a chemical burn,requires very different handling.

The patient must be immediately taken to the nearest source of fresh water, the eye forced open and thoroughly � ushed. Seek medical attention only after extensive � ushing of the affected eye or while the � ushing continues.

With a chemical burn, saving a few seconds may save a person’s vision.

Two common injuries have two very different management strategies.

Have a safe summer. Don’t forget to protect your eyes.

NOTICE OF PERMISSIVE TAX EXEMPTION


NORTH SAANICH — The Peninsula Pan-thers are getting their youthful paws wet very early in the current Van-couver Island Junior Hockey League (VIJHL) campaign.

This week the Cats will be thrown into the fire with three games over four days.

The Panthers are slated to travel to the Q Centre on Wednesday night and will do bat-tle with the Westshore Wolves, before return-ing to the confines of the Panorama Recre-ation Centre where they will host the vis-iting Comox Valley Gla-cier Kings.

There will be no rest for the squad as they hit the ice again on Saturday. The locals will board the bus and head up-Island for an evening bout with the Glacier Kings.

“We would really love to rack up three wins,” explained Head Coach Rob Mortin. “We have the horses to do it and now we just have to put 60 minutes effort in each time out.

“I see the entire league as being very even and any club can win on any given night. I think three games in four nights is a good thing for us at this point in the season and I’m looking forward to our kids competing.”

After winning a cou-

ple games in a row, the Panthers were knocked off by the Victoria Cou-gars in Esquimalt last Thursday and then were downed by the Nanaimo Buccaneers at home last Friday night.

“We came out flat on Thursday and didn’t get it going until the third period,” said Mor-tin.

“And on Friday we came roaring out of the gates and dominated the first 10 minutes of the game and then we let it slip away. I really expect that this week and weekend will treat us good and we will get back into the win col-umn.”

Missing from the lineup last Friday night

were five key players for the club including Matt Forbes, Hunter Frampton, Koby Hale, Trevor Owens and Josh Poland.

Owens and Hale will be back in and there is a chance a couple o f the other

walking wounded might be slotted to return. Seventeen-year-old Cam Thompson continues to lead the squad in scoring.

The puck is set to drop at 7:30 p.m. on Fri-day night.

CENTRAL SAANICH — Members of the Capital City Yacht Club scoured portions of Tod Inlet Saturday, Sept. 26 on a shoreline cleanup.

Organizer Jennifer Lewis says they did the work as part of the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup. She added that the club already provides volunteers to be Tod Inlet Marine Park Hosts throughout the summer, making the cleanup tie in with their current stewardship activity.

On Saturday, 23 club members scoured the shoreline and surround-ing park and members in a dinghy scouted the shoreline.

Another club member waded in a dry suit to remove underwater debris.

In all, club members removed approximately 700 pounds of debris. Among the items removed: a rusted kids’ scooter, several doggie bags, toilet paper, cigarette butts, bits of glass, rope, scrap metal, old carpet and two hot water tanks.

Capital City Yacht Club member Glenn Judson kindly arranged waste disposal and recycling.
