It's been a long and stressful week for me. My fiance and I have been using the withdrawal method, with no other back up for almost 4 years now. Before that I used the method with another partner for over a year, so I had come to trust it. About a week ago exactly, I had spotting for a day. I have been pregnant before when I was much younger (terminated) and realizing that my period wasn't due for another week or two, an immediate feeling of dread set in. The feeling got worse as the days went on and no period came. The only other time this has happened in my life is with a previous implantation bleed.
I decided to get a pregnancy test a couple of days ago to calm my mind. I took the test in the afternoon, a standard blue dye test (two lines = pregnant, one line = not pregnant.) The control line was dark, the other line appeared but was faint. The package said that a second line was still positive even if faint. I found various threads that said blue dye tests are notorious for false positives. Later that night, I began seeing traces of blood in my panties, so I put a tampon in. My stomach had cramping, and when I removed the tampon in the morning there was light blood, similar to the beginning of a period. Still nervous that a heavier flow hadn't started yet, I removed the tampon and didn't replace it. I was able to wipe a little more pink discharge throughout the day yesterday, but nothing had started which is totally atypical for me.
That was yesterday. This morning as soon as my fiance walked out of the door for work, I took a second test with first-morning pee. As much as I am still in denial right now, there were two clear blue lines. I waited a couple of minutes to be sure I wasn't seeing things, then promptly hid the test in the trash can and looked up the number to Planned Parenthood.
My fiance is the love of my life, he is my everything, and I definitely want to have his children one day, but not now. I am absolutely heartbroken that I can not tell him what I am going through, because he would love for me to have his baby and would not stand for me to have an abortion. I have no doubt in my mind that I do not want to be a mother right now. I have no job, I just made a cross country move and am planning a wedding. I have such big hopes for motherhood, I want to desire it and put my all into it and I can't right now.
I have not been able to do anything for days I have been so sick with stress. The only time I have seen the light of day this week has been to purchase a pregnancy test (which I hid in a grocery trip.) I am waiting for a call from someone with Medicaid right now who will see if I qualify for coverage and set my appointment with Planned Parenthood. I was told to expect the call within the next 72 hours. I expect I will tell my fiance that I am going for a checkup, and then receive "the pill" to take at home, and tell him that I am having a really bad period. I feel awful lying to him but I believe in my heart of hearts that it would be for more good than harm.
I guess I am just looking for support, and hoping that someone has been in a similar situation that can relate. To the world it would look as if this pregnancy is a blessing but it feels so wrong to me

Hi LilyMidori and welcome to the Scarleteen message boards,
I'm so sorry to hear that you're in this situation and that it's so hard on you! This really is a tough spot for you to be in.
Do you have no one in your life you can turn to for support--a friend or family member perhaps?
If Medicaid doesn't cover the termination partially or completely, there are other funding options. Planned Parenthood should be able to provide you with more information on what's available in your area. WE can also help you look for resources should that become necessary for you. . Do you hav an appointment with Planned Parenthood booked yet?
Can you perhaps talk a little mmore about what it is your afraid of regarding sharing this with your fiance? Do you know him to be against abortion? Are you afraid he'll insist on you carrying the pregnancy to term even though you know that is just not right for you now?
I'm glad you've come here for support, and we'll help you out in whatever way we can.
Member # 107450
Thanks Robin. I originally contacted PP and they asked if I would like to apply for coverage through them. That is when I was told to expect a call within 72 hours and that the person who calls will also schedule my appointment with them.
I only have one friend who is removed enough from the situation that I felt I could confide in her, and she doesn't believe that I should terminate the pregnancy. It was hurtful to hear her try to persuade me to change my mind instead of supporting me. I am thinking of lying to her and telling her I was mistaken/miscarried.
My fiance is Catholic and does not believe in abortion. Not to mention he is very tender hearted towards me and would consider a baby a huge divine blessing. He would definitely insist on me carrying to term. I feel awful for lying to cover up the situation but like I said I really feel that it is for more good than harm. My gut feeling is that I'm not ready.
Robin Lee
Member # 90293
I'm so sorry to hear your friend wasn't supportive. I can imagine how hurtful that was, and how tough it must be to feel like you hav to go to all these lengths to make sure the people in your life don't know what is really going on with you.
You're the one who is pregnant though, and as such you know what is best for your life and for your body.
What do you think is going to hep you get through until you hear about when your appointment will be?
How are you feeling yourself about getting the abortion? If you'd like to talk about your feelings about that (or about anything else around this) we're here to listen.
Is there anything else we can do to be helpful to you right now?
Member # 107450
Well first of all it's hard hearing one of your closest friends tell you "don't do anything stupid" and "it's his baby too." I am not the type of person to do anything without great thought and consideration so that was uncalled for. It also made me feel guilty for telling someone I actually know who is not my fiance. Thank goodness this friend doesn't have access to any other part of my life so it will not get back to him.
I don't know what will help until I hear back. I'm honestly still very much in a state of denial and confusion about what is going on with my body. I remember reading one of Heather's stories years ago about her experiences making peace with abortion and that is what made me come back here. I have no moral qualms about it, I just never thought I would be faced having to terminate a pregnancy with someone who I *do* have a future with. I know he's not going anywhere, I know he will take care of me and love me, I can't blame the fact that I'm not ready on anyone other than me. All I have is my inner voice, and it's small but persistent.
Member # 107450
I can't seem to find that article anymore, does anyone happen to know if it is still around?
Robin Lee
Member # 90293
Yes, your friend's reaction to you was uncalled for. You truly know what is best for you. I'm cheering that small but persistent voice on, because ultimately this isn't just your body, but your life.
If it helps to keep checking in here on what is going on, and how you're feeling, it's okay to do that. I'll be happy to keep talking with you about this, as will Heather when she gets back on Monday. Waiting for the wheels to start turning on a process is hard. How is interacting with your fiance this weekend going to be for you do you think?
Member # 107450
Thanks, that's more comforting than you know.
I'm not too worried about my fiance. He knows that I've been having menstrual drama, but he's oblivious like most guys. He just wants me to go to a doctor. I had a problem with cysts about a year ago and he's been worried ever since.
I just received a call back about applying for Medicaid. I have an appointment to present all of my documents and have a pregnancy test done on Tuesday, thank goodness. I told my fiance that I am applying for Medicaid so that I can see a doctor and he was all for it. I feel a lot better knowing when my appointment will be.
Now I can go back to obsessing over every little sensation and bodily function for the next 4 days. As scientifically unlikely as it may be, I still haven't given up hope that I might start my period. Either way, I have hope.
Robin Lee
Member # 90293
Yay...I'm so glad you got an appointment so quickly.
...and I have to admit I smiled at the phrase "menstrual drama."
I'll be checking in throughout the weekend, so just leave a note any time you need to talk about something and I'll get back to you when I come in.
Member # 79774
Are either of these the article you were looking for, Lily?
Member # 107450
Thank you Redskies, that first article is exactly the one I was thinking of. Reading it again made me cry, but they are happy tears. I am so thankful for all of you.

Member # 90293
HI LilyMidori,
I'm glad you found those articles helpful.
I just wanted to check in on you today and see how you're doing.
Member # 3
I'm mostly offline today myself, Lily, but if you want someone extra to talk with, I'm happy to make myself available.
Member # 107450
Well here is the update. I called yesterday afternoon to see if I could move my appointment to earlier in the day, and they realized that they had an appointment available for Saturday (today.)
My appointment was at noon. The pregnancy test came back positive, and let I them know that I would like to terminate by medication. I was asked for an emergency contact, so I asked for clarification as to whom I should put. I was told that I need to put someone who knows about the situation. But what if I don't have anyone like that? Well, you have to put someone down or else we can't see you. So I put a random friend who I trust to be there if needed, but I do not plan on telling her what is going on unless I absolutely must. It just made me sad to think that there are probably a lot of girls who *really* have no one to put.
I was approved for emergency Medicaid within minutes, and was surprised to find out that they wanted to mail me two Medicaid cards with my name and "unborn child" on them. I found that a little disturbing, I don't know if that was some kind of political concession to having Medicaid cover abortion in my state or what. They said that I was required to provide an address for Medicaid to mail those documents to, and thankfully when I couldn't they offered to have them mailed to the clinic where I can pick them up.
I was able to set an appointment for Monday at a location that's a bit longer of a commute, but it seemed worth it to speed things up. I had a lot of time while commuting today to see parents with young children, and truly reflect on what a child needs and how incapable I am of giving that right now. I am looking forward to Monday, to say the least.

Hi LilyMidori,
I'm really glad to hear they were able to see you today. it sounds like getting this process moving is giving you some peace of mind that having to wait a longer period of time wouldn't do.
I'm glad also to hear that the clinic was flexible in allowing for the Medicaid mailing to be sent to the clinic as I'm sure that's making things a lot easier and less stressful for you.
How are you doing with all of this?
Member # 107450
I'm doing just fine, not too keen on having to sneak around though. It sucks to have to hold things in. For instance I've been so tired lately I haven't even had the energy to look for a job. Not that my fiance really minds, but I can tell it bothers him a little that I don't keep up with the house work either. I live in a 4th floor walk up so toting 15-20lbs + of laundry or groceries around the neighborhood and back is exhausting just to think about. I've been doing the old teenage hiding the laundry routine. I'm a health nut, I love to cook and I make a meal every night, but lately I've been cheating with things like grilled cheese and takeout. We also usually drive his sister/mother to visit with his disabled brother once a week, and we haven't been in almost three weeks. His brother is low functioning autistic.. imagine a 350 lb two year old always running and getting into things. I guess I'm beating myself up more than anything, I'm usually the strong one that everyone can count on. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my energy will come back ASAP.
Robin Lee
Member # 90293
It really is okay for you not to be the strong one, though I'm concerned about the impact on you, both short-term and long-term, of having to keep this a secret.
You mentioned above that you just recently moved across country. How long ago was that. A move like that is a really serious life change, plus, having to contend with this pregnancy--well, it's not surprising to me that you feel worn out.
Instead of expecting yourself to bounce back and do everything you think is expected of you (plus that you want to do), what do you think of choosing one thing to start doing again and building back up from there? It can be really overwhelming when we expect ourselves to do everything at once.
Member # 107450
I think that's a good idea. My move was about 3 and a half months ago. It hadn't occurred to me that that could be part of the reason why I'm feeling stretched too thin.
Today I was able to bring up the subject of having children, and my fiance was the first to point out that we are not ready to be parents. We talked about what goals we want to achieve first, and it felt really good to know that we are on the same page as far as that goes. We also had a productive day so I am feeling much better about myself.
The only long term impact I'm worried about is karma for having been dishonest. But I consider my intentions pure, and whatever comes of it will just have to be the price I pay for doing what I believe is right.
I have to admit I am nervous about the blood test tomorrow! Blood (other than menstrual) makes me dizzy/prickly hot/nauseous and my stomach is already sensitive right now. Here's hoping my body doesn't do anything embarrassing!
Member # 3
I hope things go well for you today.
You know, you don't have to commit to always keeping this to yourself, just so you know. If later on, you feel more able to be honest with your partner, and I'd say karma is less of an issue to be concerned with than the impact on you and your relationship -- and I hope that you do, as this is a kind of secret that tends to be pretty painful to keep, especially from a partner you're serious about -- you get to disclose later on. Just because you're keeping this to yourself now doesn't mean you always have to.
Thinking good thoughts for you today, and you're certainly welcome to pop back here as needed if you need continued support around this.
And when you have your follow-up for this, sounds like it'd be a good idea to talk about a reliable method of birth control with them, okay?
Member # 107450
Thanks Heather. I know you're right.
I had my appointment today and it was full of surprises. I started off with a sonogram (which I was told is the same thing as an ultrasound) and after a few minutes of awkward silence the nurse asked me when my last period was. For about the hundredth time I repeated that it was either the last week of March or first week of April, I wasn't sure. She informed me that we would need to do an internal ultrasound because she wasn't able to see the pregnancy. I asked her what that meant as far as the pregnancy and she said that it typically means that the fetus is less than 4 weeks. I said yes, I couldn't imagine how it could be more than that so it made sense.
I definitely wasn't expecting to be vaginally penetrated by anything today so it was kind of odd at first. I became more uncomfortable after a few minutes of probing what seemed like every little corner more than once, with no response. I was staring at the ceiling thinking gosh, if it's that small she must have dug it out by now! Finally I couldn't take the silence anymore and asked what was going on. The nurse said that she was trying really hard to make sure it wasn't "hiding" because she couldn't see the pregnancy. She asked me if I had had a pregnancy test, and I reminded her that I had had one on Saturday. She said okay, and sent me to the waiting room to wait for someone else to council me with my options.
After a wait, a nurse popped her head in and told me they were going to need a urine sample. I had just emptied my bladder before the ultrasound so I thought it seemed a little weird, but I gave them what I had. I was then brought into another room where it was explained that I could not proceed with the medical abortion if the fetus could not be seen. They had just done another pregnancy test which came back positive so the scenarios were, one, the pregnancy was just not far along to see yet. I was reminded that a pregnancy starts with two microscopic cells that multiply, so that was entirely likely. Two, I had already miscarried, which didn't seem likely since I didn't have any significant bleeding, just some light spotting. The third and least likely scenario is that I have an ectopic pregnancy, which could be a serious problem if left untreated.
I was given two options: to proceed with an aspiration abortion and just clean everything out to be on the safe side, or if I still insisted on the pill to start a series of blood tests monitoring pregnancy hormones. We talked about the pros and cons of both, but it really wasn't a question to me. I opted to go with the blood tests. I was told that if my hormone levels double between the first blood test and the second, that would indicate that there is a normal pregnancy growing, if they lessen, it would indicate a miscarriage, and if they grow but not double then we are probably looking at an ectopic pregnancy.
I was pretty disappointed. On the bright side, I was assured that I could be given oral medication to terminate at this point whether it was ectopic or not.
I was not excited about having blood drawn, but this time was a breeze. I was allowed to lay down and the nurses were very kind. I think they felt a bit sorry for me having to go through all of this. Even they seemed a little confused by it. I was given another appointment to come in on Wednesday for a second blood test. I should expect a call on Thursday with the results, at which point I can make an appointment to proceed.
I really don't want to have to come back multiple times but in a way I feel a sense of relief actually having a game plan. Even though the past two weeks has been a series of "wtf" moments, I feel like I've got modern technology and a lot of good, caring people on my side.
So it looks like it's back to ultra sensitive boobs, weird cramps and ravenous hunger every three hours. Crossing my fingers I don't develop morning sickness in the next week.
Member # 3
Yipes, I'm sorry to hear about some of that. I'm not sure I understand why they didn't just tell you to come back in a couple of weeks!
Member # 107450
I suppose they figure there's no real reason to wait if I'm up for blood testing and the results can be counted on. I don't mind, I just hope they don't end up telling me to wait after all.
I had no idea a fetus could be too small to be picked up on an ultrasound. I did a little research and apparently that is common.
Member # 3
Only or less than four weeks in? Oh, absolutely. Even with a transvaginal, you really are early here, and I'd say it'd be more common than not to have ti be unable to be detected.
(Which is why I was perplexed they even bothered, rather than just telling you to come back in a week or two. But for sure, they may just have been trying to serve you today without you having to come back, which certainly would make sense.)
Member # 107450
Oh I see what you're saying. Both the ultrasound tech and the NP seemed genuinely confused, which is odd. The NP even performed a vaginal exam to check for abnormalities. I'm not sure if that is routine but she said that everything looks/feels fine.
It seems that in terms of termination you have a small window between overlooking the pregnancy and observing it too late. Especially with the medical, which I understand can only be performed up to 9 weeks. Combined with the fact that a tube conception needs to be caught before 7 or 8 weeks to not require surgery, pregnancy is no joke.

Member # 3
Well no, of course it's not.
Member # 107450
I had my second (well, third) visit yesterday. Before we went through with the second blood test, there was a different NP who explained that according to my blood test my hcg level was about 1000 on Monday. Being that a pregnancy should be visible at around 2000, she asked if I wanted to try to do another sonogram so that we could potentially move forward with the medication abortion. I agreed wholeheartedly.
We did another internal sonogram, and although it took a while and there was a lot of awkward pressure like the first one, I could immediately hear the nurse taking pictures which was a good sign. It turns out that the pregnancy was (barely) visible, so we could proceed with the procedure.
I was given another blood test and after what seemed like a lot of waiting and paperwork I was finally given the medication. Everyone was 100% patient, kind and informative and I am actually looking forward to future visits there. I can't say the same for Planned Parenthood in my home state at all. I never knew that I could feel cared for and respected in a clinic like I do in the ones here.
I was given the first medication at the clinic, and I started antibiotics last night. Today after 3:30 pm I am allowed to take the second medication, and I have a 24 hour window to do it. I'm not sure if I will take it tonight or tomorrow morning, but I haven't got anything major going on either of those times so I am free to choose. I'm really not afraid of the pain, I just want to run errands and clean my apartment first in case I'm too tired/nauseous to do it for a few days.
I thought I'd update as a form of sorting my thoughts and stress relief, even though the NP encouraged me to call them with any little question or worry no matter how small. I also thought this might be a useful reference for someone who is in a similar situation.
Robin Lee
Member # 90293
I'm glad to hear the clinic staff have been so helpful, and encourage you to call them with anything. That's what they're there for.
It also sounds reasonable that you'd want to give yourself time to get everything done you need to get done before taking the second medication, as you're not entirely sure how you'll be feeling.
Member # 107450
I think it helped my mood a lot too. I cooked enough food for a couple of days and cleaned, and it's a good feeling to wake up to.
I took the misoprostol last night before bed after all of the recommended medications, as well as preparing myself with an 8 hour thermacare heating pad and a maxi pad for heavy flow with guards. I felt a peeing sensation once or twice during the night when the blood was coming out but for the most part I slept like a baby. I woke up in time to take another round of ibuprofen before the first round wore off, and change my pad.
Just woke up not too long ago and I feel a little groggy, and mildly crampy, but I think my body is just tired. I opted not to fill the narcotic prescription and haven't missed it at all. So far my experience has been good, but I would attribute that to being prepared.
I was told that the pregnancy should have passed between 4 and 8 hours after taking the misoprostol, and that from there I should be recovering steadily. It's been about 14 hours and I feel that that's true for me. I understand that everyone's experience will be different, but I read a lot of horror stories before hand that were so far off from what I'm experiencing I wonder if they weren't just made up to scare people.
Member # 3
Really, experiences with this simply range a whole lot.
Of course, we live in a world full of anti-choice misinformation and sentiment, so by all means, some of what you'll read about any kind of abortion may be false or misleading.
But there also is simply a wide range of experiences with abortion, so your experience so far being what it is and someone else's being radically different doesn't mean either isn't real.

Just west of Atlanta, the city of Austell, Georgia, has long been a draw for visitors - originally for the calming and supposedly medicinal waters of Sweetwater Creek, later for the exhilarating fun of the Six Flags Over Georgia amusement park.
A range of entertainment options make Austell an exciting place to be. With its small town charm and appealing urban convenience, it's no wonder people are attracted to the apartments for rent in Austell and choose to make the city their home.
Once a health resort known for the curative properties of its water and elevation, as well as a hunting destination due to its abundance of deer, Austell emerged as a natural retreat before the Civil War. It grew as a rail crossroads and home to Atlanta professionals in the late 19th century, and it still retains a sense of history.
Today, the community of around 6,600 people continues to serve as a hub for those coming from and going to the city, attracting commuters and tourists alike with its great entertainment options and appealing natural surroundings. With many community events and gathering places, Austell encourages its residents to stay active and involved.
Austell apartments provide access to a rural, small town environment while still offering plenty to do. Residents can head into the city, out into nature or onto the golf course with equal ease in this accessible community.
Austell students are served by the Austell campus of Chattahoochee Technical College and Mercer University's Douglas County Regional Academic Center. A range of major colleges and universities in Atlanta and Marietta expands upon the area's educational offerings.
Austell is home to several divisions of Caraustar, a recycled paperboard and packaging company whose mills and offices serve as the city's principal employers. Natural gas and tourism also boost the local economy, while many residents choose to work in Atlanta.
A community of mostly homeowners, Austell is nonetheless attractive to renters as a cheaper, calmer alternative to Atlanta with plenty of great rental options at a good price.
U.S. Census Bureau data showed the median gross rent from 2006 to 2010 was $914. Additional research found one bedroom apartments renting for between $500 and $870 per month.
The overall cost of living in Austell is also very affordable. According to City-Data, residents of Austell enjoy a cost of living index that is at 94.2 percent - nearly 6 points lower than the national average. With great weather year-round and such a close-knit community, all Austell residents have themselves a wonderful bargain in terms of apartments and housing.
Many visitors know Austell best as the home to Six Flags Over Georgia, the expansive theme park just outside of city limits that features dozens of rides for all ages, seasonal themed events and regularly-scheduled entertainment. Other area attractions include golf courses and parks, including Sweetwater Creek State Park, a popular destination for hiking, fishing and boating. History buffs can check out Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield, a Civil War landmark that features historical landmarks and popular hiking trails.
The city parks in Austell host many community events, including frequent softball games, annual Halloween and Christmas celebrations and Fourth of July fireworks. Residents enjoy the city's friendly environment, great barbecue and rural charm, but it's also possible to take advantage of nearby Atlanta. As the largest city in the region, Atlanta is home to world class nightlife, music and shopping, as well as great dining and entertainment - all just minutes away.

I wish I had done the same thing as you. I wish that we never started the whole Santa Claus thing. Keeping the secret for me was just too exhaustive. I don't know, I'm one of those logical and serious sorts of people and playing up the fantasy of Santa wasn't as fun as I thought it would be.

March 16, 2010 Chile 2010 © MSF
The numerous tremors that followed the February 27 earthquake in Chile have added new levels of stress to an already shaken population. Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has therefore made mental health care a priority in its response to the disaster. Simultaneously, as the nights grow colder and the chance of rainfall increases, MSF is speeding up its distribution of plastic sheeting and blankets for people whose homes were damaged and who are now often camping outdoors. Distribution of Hygiene Kits and Medical Supplies
Though many hospitals in the affected areas were damaged, most have good response capacity and are adequately staffed. In these places, MSF medical workers are attending to some specific medical care needs, performing at-home consultations with patients who don't want to leave their houses to visit health centers, and donating certain medical supplies to avoid any potential shortages within the health system. |

Salmon Viewing
Unlike many parts of the world where particular species of salmon are in danger of extinction, the west coast of British Columbia has long been recognized for its salmon enhancement successes. Combine these achievements with the spectacle of a full run of thousands of salmon of varying species bucking the river current in an struggle to make their way up a raging shallow river to for their first and only attempt at spawning only to die immediately afterward and you can understand why salmon viewing has become an interest that the whole family can benefit from every fall.
Blend the outing to the river with a trace of instruction on the life cycle and migratory habits of the individual species of local salmon and you are capable of gaining a little understanding of this amazing specter of nature which we are so privileged to have exhibited quite literally in our back yard.
To facilitate good salmon viewing opportunities you require a consistent run of salmon, a network of easily accessible viewing stations, as well as informational signage and perhaps a good interpretive program to round out the visitor experience, Campbell River and all the North Island communities not only have these amenities but they are generally free to the public to enjoy and are typically coupled with interpretive programs, instructional signage and in the case of many of our hatcheries, teaching tours are included as well.
For the sake of this publication we will be dealing only with the salmon that we are readily able to view, however we do possess in most of our inland lakes and streams a variety of trout.
Overview of Species
The 6 species of Pacific salmon are amongst our most familiar, they are anadromous, spending from 1 to 7 years at sea and often migrating hundreds if not thousands of miles before returning to spawn in their ancestral streams, rivers, lakes and ponds.
All adult Pacific salmon die after spawning, with the exception of sea run rainbow trout known as steelhead and the unexplained spawning habits of Jack Coho, who when entering the fresh water are immature and return back to the sea for a few more years after they have milked the eggs of fertile females.
Trout do not die when the spawn is complete and are recognized to reproduce several times throughout their lifetime.
Spawning Habits
Salmon begin the migratory spawn at the end of the spring run-off in the bottom gravel of cold water streams and lakes. Their large sphere-shaped eggs, 4 to 8 mm are deposited in depressions or nests called redds, which are excavated by both the male and the female, each adult female can lay 2500 to 5000 eggs depending on the species. It is worthy of note that in the wild a 1% return rate of adult salmon is considered to be acceptable, however artificial incubation produces a 5% return rate on adult salmon.
After fertilization, the eggs are covered with the gravel by the adults flipping their tail while in a side position, if you are lucky you can actually witness this phenomenon with Chum salmon in the Campbell River as they spawn in the shallow lower channels in November and December and are quite visible when performing their mating rituals. I have actually seen a 35 pound Chum moving boulders that are 10 to 20 centimeters across in an effort to bury their newly laid eggs.
Several months are required for incubation and for the larvae to wiggle up through the gravel. In most species the young begin to migrate to the ocean soon after emerging, on the other hand some species will stay in the fresh water for up to two years following incubation and migrate only when they are in the juvenile state.
All the young of the species have parr marks while in fresh water and for a short time when they enter the salt water, with the exception of Pink Salmon. The young are difficult to identify, their appearance varies only slightly in color, shape and in size.
Viewing in and around the Campbell River
Over the past 50 years, the Campbell River has been the focus of intense salmon habitat restoration efforts, with every year bringing a new and innovative strategy to increase the natural state of the environment while pressure on the river from human beings increase.
In the past fifteen years at least a half a dozen new spawning channels have been developed on the north side of the Campbell River, many that have experienced great successes in terms of returning salmon in their first season. Combine this with the efforts of the Greenways Land Trust's whose immeasurable achievement in rehabilitating copious acres of wet lands has reinstated much of the estuary lands into their natural state of balanced health, after decades of industrial devastation.
The Campbell River also plays host to the Canyon View trail, constructed by the Rotary Club of Canada, this trail circumnavigates the upper reaches of the Campbell River and offers many opportunities to view salmon in the numerous channels along the way.
The Quinsam River is a tributary to the Campbell River, on the shores of Quinsam, just a few kilometers from the confluence of the two rivers is one of the most successful salmon Hatcheries on the Pacific coast. It is also one of the best sites to get a close look at 5 species of salmon in their natural habitat, with numerous low bridges over small creeks and holding ponds that pen thousands of salmon as they make their way upstream.
If timed correctly there is also opportunity to view first-hand the process of capture, retention, milking and incubation of wild salmon stock, to be released back into the wild months down the road.
Quinsam Salmon Hatchery
The Quinsam Salmon Hatchery is a function of the Federal Fisheries of Canada.
Directions from Campbell River:
Approximately 5 kilometers northwest of Campbell River's city center, drive west on Hwy. 28 (follow the signs to Gold River. On your left approximately 200 meters after the intersection with Hwy. 19, you will see a "Fish Hatchery" sign, turn left onto Quinsam Rd. follow the road for 2 kilometers, the hatchery site entrance is clearly marked on the left.
Hours of Operation:
8 am to 4 pm, every day all seasons. There is a gate on the hatchery road that is opened at 7:30 am daily and locked at 4:30 pm. To guarantee that your vehicle is not locked behind the gates please move it out of the area before closing time.
The facility and surrounding river and streams proffer outstanding prospects to view salmon in their natural habitat. The potential is also presented to observe the process of salmon being managed for the purposes of the artificial hatchery.
Please phone ahead for information on regularly scheduled activities. Special tours for groups can be pre-arranged with staff availability. Pamphlets are available for those who are interested in a self-guided tour.
Managed Species:
Pink, Coho, Chinook, Steelhead and Cutthroat Trout.
Best Viewing Months:
Adult Pink Salmon - September, -egg-takes at hatchery from September 20 to October 10.
Adult Chinook Salmon - October to November, -egg-takes from October 20 to November 10.
Adult Coho Salmon - October to December, -egg-takes from October 30 to November 30.
Oyster River Salmon Hatchery
This facility and its restoration missions are the work of the volunteer organization, The Oyster River Enhancement Society or (ORES). This facility is completely staffed by volunteers.
Supported by the Department of Fisheries, the Pacific Salmon Foundation, the Regional District, Ducks Unlimited, Royal Bank blue water project, BC Hydro Community Champions, Telus and more...
There are an average of 40 volunteers that come and help with all the chores every week and 300 registered members. They take care of the fish 7 days a week, 365 days a year including Christmas. They have a part time manager who coordinates all the work that needs to be done and times seining, egg taking, fry transfer and smolt release.
Directions from Campbell River:
Turn onto Hamm Rd. from Highwya 19A (right if you are approaching from Campbell River, left if you are approaching from Courtenay), then almost immediately turn right onto Macaulay Rd.
After 2.3 km you will see the BEAR CREEK PARK sign on the right side of the road.This is the entrance to the hatchery. Enter the Park until you see the Yellow Gate. Vehicles are required to park in this vicinity and you will continue by foot through the gate and down the hill to the hatchery. Once down the hill and across the bridge, signs will direct you to the hatchery.
Hours of Operation:
Open to the public on Tuesdays from 8am to 2pm. It is strongly recommended that visitors contact ORES prior to their visit.
As this facility is not always attended for guided tours please contact:
Email: email@example.com
Website: www.oysterriverenhancement.org

In addition many rearing ponds, an extensive system of rearing and spawning channels have been constructed. Look for spawning Pink Salmon from August to October, Chinook in September and October, Chum in October and November and Coho from October to December. Steelhead Trout and Cutthroat Trout can also be seen.
Snorkeling with the Salmon
The celebrity of the city of Campbell River transpires from the long standing reputation of holding the title of the "Salmon Capital of the World". The entire fuss was initiated by Sir Richard Musgrave who wrote and published an article on October 28, 1896 in "The Field - The Country Gentleman's Newspaper".
"Next day was eventful, as I hooked a real monster. I played him for an hour and three-quarters. He turned out to be a 70 lb, which I believe is the biggest salmon ever killed on a rod and line and double gut."
The article gained great acclaim in England and immediately, fishermen began flocking to Campbell River craving the challenge of landing the fabled 60 – 70 lb Tyee. As the years advanced, increasing numbers of intrepid fishermen realized the dream and Campbell River quickly became world renowned for the superb fishing and unprecedented abundance of large Chinook salmon.
The First Snorkeler
Years later Roderick Haig Brown settled on a couple of acres of land directly adjacent to the Campbell River, a world renowned journalist, environmentalist, fanatic fisherman, magistrate and lover of all things scaly, Roderick with his eloquent writing style, his love of the sport of fishing and his never ending drive for salmon preservation broadcasted chronicles of the attributes of the Campbell River. These narratives prepared the way for thousands of fishermen yearning for the experience that he described so eloquently in his widely published stories.
The inevitability of progress advanced and industry came to this little hick town, Roderick was legitimately concerned with the implications of the proposed building of a Hydro Electric Dam on the Campbell River, and its consequence to the considerable runs of salmon.
"One of my strongest interests and concerns has long been the Pacific salmon runs, not for their commercial value or their value in the sport fishery only, but because of their innate and complex beauty and their symbolic value, though it involves or should involve something more than that – the self – respect and legitimacy of mankind. If, with the knowledge and understanding we now have, we allow this to be destroyed; we ourselves are nothing very important."
The Stalking of Progress
Not being the brand of man to sit back and stalk progress while it impeded on his precious cycle of salmon, the adventurous Haig Brown embarked on a snorkel of the river in an effort to view the habitat that was the river bottom and the complex migration habits of the salmon with his own eyes. At that time, this was considered a daunting task, as equipment was primitive at best and the activity of snorkeling a river, let alone swimming in one of this magnitude was judged to be a slightly foolish undertaking, keeping in mind that at this point in time, the Campbell River was a natural, free flowing river with shifting volumes of water that were a good deal more significant than they are today.
Roderick's persistence and tenacity readied him to compile detailed, scientific, and consistent records of the river beds, the migration habits and numbers of each species of salmon, the water levels and a multitude of other factors concerned in the wild salmon stocks, records that set the standard for many studies that persist in biological circles today.
At present the recognition of the name Roderick Haig Brown, Campbell River and BC coast salmon are synonymous, the world over. The moniker "Salmon Capital of the World" is an acknowledged symbol of fishing and the rehabilitation efforts of all of the Pacific salmon species.
The model was established from that first day that Roderick snorkeled the Campbell River, today as a standard practice, fisheries biologists systematically snorkel all rivers in British Columbia, to personally and accurately reckon, document and inspect the size, condition and movement of the migrating salmon and the surrounding changes in habitat.
A Celebration of Salmon
As an adventure diversion and in the interest of education regarding these species, thousands of people today migrate to Campbell River every season to experience the delight of a face to face encounter with some of the world's largest salmon. Don modern day mask, fins, wetsuit and snorkel and float the river beginning in late July until the weather turns in November, enter the frigid waters to float downstream as the salmon frantically scuttle past in their final passage upstream.
Supplemented by the general public's yearn for this remarkable adventure, a multitude of journalists continue to enhance the publicity of the salmon swim on the Campbell River by printing articles in such celebrated publications as Time magazine, the National Post, and Outdoor Explorer Magazine, to name just a few.
As Stated in the Weekend Post
"I AM ONE WITH THE SALMON. I have seen the bubbling thrash of white water from below. I have flowed silently over elegant mosaics of multi-coloured river stones. My shadow has darkened the laser beams of sunlight that pierce the surface of the water. I have been startled by the rumble of traffic on bridges. I have heard the rattle of fast water over small pebbles. I have rested in eddies and shunned fishermen. I am one with the salmon."
Sums it up EH!
Having been an avid river snorkeler for the better part of 25 years, I have had been exalted by the opportunity of snorkeling many rivers on the north Island and the mainland. I have found the Campbell River to be most conducive for viewing salmon for a number of reasons. The first; the consistent flow, the river is neither to shallow nor too deep, second; the river is short and access is easy from a number of spots, third; the runs of salmon are huge and visibility is exceptional.
Having stated a number of positive aspects of snorkeling the Campbell River, a measure of caution is to be exercised. Rivers are dangerous; every year at the very least one person expires on Vancouver Island Rivers. Typically this is owing to the lack of preparation, inexperience or faulty behavior, river flows do not stop, even if you are in trouble; and a lack of respect for their force can prove fatal.
It is my sound suggestion that if you are not experienced in swift water rescue, that you hire a professional experienced guide to accompany you on your tour, plan your excursion, make sure you have adequate instruction prior to embarking on the run and assure that all your gear is appropriate and in good working order.
River Behavior and Code of Ethics
For the Operation and Pleasure use on or in the Campbell River
In recognition of the increasing pleasure and commercial use of the Campbell River, the following voluntary code of ethics has been developed by the cooperation with industry partners to minimize user impact on the river and promote river safety.
Key Objectives:
To protect and enhance the Campbell River natural beauty, water quality, aquatic and wildlife resources.
To identify and respect the concern for possible impacts on the river and its resources by all users with the goal of minimizing them.
To communicate the safe use of the river.
Be safe and always swim, boat, snorkel or float with a partner.
Be aware of your surroundings and the river hazards at all times.
Respect all other river users.
Respect all adjacent private property.
Designated spawning channels are not to be disturbed at any time.
While swimming or snorkeling, limit the impact on the fish. No lingering, herding or wolf packing.
Recognize and use designated river entry and exit locations.
Please take all personal items and garbage with you when you leave.
Indigenous Species of Salmon
Pink Salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha)
Also known as Pinkies or humpy's.
Large black, mostly oval spots on all of the caudal fin and upper body, when in the ocean they display a blue or bluish green from above, silvery below. At spawn time the males (only) develop a humped back and a hooked upper jaw, hence the name humpy, at this time the colour changes markedly to reddish to yellowish on the caudal fin. The jaws are not markedly hooked, however an olive green colour is displayed on the side flanks. The young lack parr marks.
Migration of the tiny fry begin immediately, with the emergence from the gravel these salmon move directly out of the fresh water into the estuary where they may spend a couple of months, then they move out into the open ocean in large schools. Pinks are one of the most abundant of west coast salmon, second only to the Sockeye and the first to migrate to our local rivers, which begins mid to late July and may run as late as early September, these salmon can travel a considerable distance upstream to spawn.
Life Span
It is peculiar of this species that it has a definitive 2 year life span and each stream will only herald a run of Pinks every second year. Despite the fact that they only live 2 years this species has been known to migrate thousands of kilometres from their home streams.
Coho Salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch)
Also known as Silver Salmon
Black spots on the back and on the upper part of the caudal fin, the gums are white at the base of the teeth. In the sea they are metallic blue above; silvery below. At spawning time the males are dusky green on the upper back and head and bright red on the sides, often blackish below; females are bronze to pinkish red on the sides. Sizes are from 98 centimetres and can weigh up to 14 kilograms, but usually they average 2.7 to 5.4 kilograms.
Coho generally spawn in the fall or winter; however the Campbell River is known to have two separate and distinct runs, one that migrates into the river in late June or early July and one that makes its exodus into the river late August to early September. Juvenile Coho favor small streams, sloughs and ponds, but populations can also be found in lakes and large rivers. The young appear in spring and can remain in the fresh water for up to 2 years. Juvenile Coho defend their territories through a series of maneuvers including a complex shimmy-shake, dubbed by scientists the "wig-wag dance".When spawning the females also change color and develop the hallmark hooked snout, but the alteration is less spectacular, than in the males, although not as pronounced as Chum salmon.
Coho generally remain in the coastal waters near to the streams and rivers of origin. A favorite of the sport fishery, this salmonid is a fierce fighter, it is said that pound for pound this is the best fighting salmon of all.
Life Span
Matures in 2 to 4 years, most often in the 3rd year.
Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)
Also known as Spring, Tyee, King Salmon, Blackmouth and Quinnat Salmon.
The largest of all salmon species specimens - commonly over 14 kilograms. Upper back and all of caudal, dorsal and adipose fin have irregular black spots. The gums and base of the teeth are also black. In the seas Chinook are bluish or greenish to grey or black above and silvery below. Maturing specimens are very dark; smaller males often have a slight dull yellow colour, larger males are often blotchy, and dull red on the sides. Can be to 147 centimetres and average about 7 to 15 kilograms. The largest reported to date was a specimen caught in Alaska which reportedly weighed 61 kg.
Migration and Spawning
Campbell River system, being a relatively large system for Vancouver Island hosts an impressive run of anywhere from 6,000 to 15,000 Chinook annually, with adult females laying from 2,500 eggs to 4,000 eggs each. After hatching, Chinook fry remain in fresh water for varying lengths of time depending on water temperature, generally in Vancouver Island systems the Chinook begin leaving the river system as early as January after 5 months in the river, however; a percentage may stay in the system for up to one year.
Chinook are the favorite prey of Resident Killer Whales because of their large size and presence in coastal waters. They are also one of the prize fisheries for the sport fisherman of the West Coast in addition to the commercial fishery. The Flesh of the Chinook salmon may be white as in a winter spring to a light pink which is common in a summer run.
While still feeding in tidal waters, the Chinook is silver, with a greenish blue silvery sheen. Upon entry of fresh water to begin the spawning process the body color darkens and a reddish hue develops around the fins and belly. The teeth of adult spawning males become enlarged and the snout develops into a hook.
Life Span
These fish, the largest of the Pacific Salmon are reputed to travel vast distances during migration and are found sparsely distributed throughout the Pacific Ocean. Chinook adults returning to spawn vary in age from five to seven years.
Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka)
Also known as red or blue-back salmon.
The most prominent of the Pacific salmon, sockeye are the most sought after for their superior flesh, color and superiority. Their rich oily flesh and red color render them a favorite with the Canadian and the international public.
Ocean-going sockeye are silver in colour, with small black speckles alongside the body, turning varying shades of red resulting in a scarlet fish with a green head by the time they enter the fresh water. With deep and distinctive colouring and a rich history and economic culture the sockeye salmon has benchmarked itself as the symbol of the salmon industry in the Pacific Region.
Migration and Spawning
This deep coloring, along with the rich cultural, economic and ecological history continue to effect sockeye as the symbol of Salmon in the Pacific Region. Young sockeye may remain in their freshwater nursery lakes for a year or more, with certain schools waiting until the second or third year to make their seaward journey. Migration patterns can be as far away as 2600 kilometers.
Life Span
One of the most remarkable features of sockeye is a phenomenon called "cyclic dominance". In any number of lakes in British Columbia and on Vancouver Island, sockeye are plentiful in one of every four years. Sockeye can ripen between two and six years of age however; in most systems, one age group (usually four-year-old fish) dominates, consequently most of the offspring produced in any one "brood-year" return to spawn four years later. This year of increased population's impact creates a cyclic dominance which leads to spectacular returns.
Steelhead or Sea Going Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
At one time steelhead was considered to be a trout. With the event of modern technologies biologists have found that they are more closely related to Pacific salmon, when Steelhead stay in fresh water for their entire life they are considered to be a Rainbow Trout.
Once abundant in Vancouver Island Rivers, the steelhead population has declined to disastrous low numbers. There are a number of contributing factors to their demise including the introduction of sea lice, over fishing and habitat degradation.
Young steelhead are brightly coloured with a rainbow stripe represented in shades of red, green-yellow and orange and gold. As they mature they resemble more closely the Atlantic salmon in structure and form with heavier marking. Steelhead diverges from other Pacific salmon in displaying a shorter anal fin containing less than 12 supporting rays. When in the salt water the essence of the body is mainly silvery with a blue back, at spawning time, a stretch of red colour progresses along each side of the body.
Migration and Spawning
Immature steelhead live for one to three years in fresh water before migrating to the salt water as Smoltz, with this exodus taking place in spring. Normally two or more summers are spent in the Pacific Ocean before the steelhead return to seek their familial spawning rivers at the age of four or five. Following the ritual spawn, many adult steelhead return to the ocean and a quantity of the females revisit the freshwater after recuperation to spawn a second time, uncharacteristic of Pacific salmon which expire after their first and only spawning, repeat producer's are referred to as "kelts".
Life Span
Steelhead live up to nine years and spend between one and three years in freshwater before smolting and entering the ocean.
Chum Salmon (Oncorhynchus keta)
Also known as dog salmon.
Fine specks on the back, but no black spots, in the sea they are metallic blue above, silvery below. Fins mostly dusky, edges of pelvic and anal fins usually pale in mature specimens. At spawning, blackish or dark olive above, sided with reddish or dusky irregular bars or blotches on dull greenish background. White tipped anal and pelvic fins especially in males. Front teeth of males are enlarged which is why they have earned the reputation of being called Dog salmon. Size ranges from 4.5 kilograms to 6.8 kilograms; however they have been caught in our local waters in excess of 15 kilograms. Chum salmon's oily content earns this salmon the reputation of being the best tasting species for smoking.
Chum salmon are the poorest jumpers of all salmon species; therefore it is unlikely to find them up stream past a waterfall or ladders. Spawning Chum are readily recognized by the dark horizontal stripe running down their sides and the canine-like teeth of the males. The large males display a checkerboard or calico colouration on the upper side. Spawning usually occurs in the lower reaches of streams and rivers and begins in late fall or early winter. The young emerge in spring and early summer and take about 2 days to swim directly to the ocean, where they migrate extensively before returning in 3 to 5 years.
Life Span
Adults return to the spawning grounds in about 3 to 5 years.

Rebel yell
In the All Stars cycle of America's Next Top Model, they're assigned one word that enscapulates them. If I did that for Rihanna, 'Rebel' probably isn't far off being her word, so it's apt she named her second fragrance a Frenchy version of the word; Rebelle.
After Reb'l Fleur for women was launched last year, Rihanna asked fans online whether they considered themselves a 'rebel' or a 'fleur.' Overwhelmingly - and perhaps unsurprisingly if you consider her music and thus her target audience - they picked 'rebel.'
So in 2012 in collaboration with Parlux Fragrances Rihanna launched her second fragrance for women called Rebelle, to be on counter in New Zealand from 30 April.
The scent Rebelle by Rihanna is said to bring to mind her Barbados heritage with the whirl of her present-day city life.
So, what's the fragrance itself like? At the top, it has strawberries and purple plums with a burst of ginger. At the heart; tropical flavours of cacao absolute, vanilla orchid and heliotrope. At its base it has patchouli with coffee beans and creamy musk with amber.
Rebelle by Rihanna Eau de Parfum spray retails for $99 for 100ml, $79 for 50ml, $49 for 30ml and $40 for a 200ml body lotion.
Below: The bottle echoes a stiletto heel such as Rihanna herself loves to wear, wrapped in a crimson red ribbon. The box has an outer wrap featuring the ad campaign imagery of Rihanna, in a single chain necklace and her chest tattoo, sitting in a hessian chair - either topless or in a bikini perhaps relaxing on the beach. Either way, she's a beautiful rebel.
One thing's for sure; this is certain to climb the charts.

I've "padded" the rack wherever it contacts the ground with scrap white oak. The whole shebang is going to be covered with a tarp, more or less. Is it worth the trouble to apply some kind of protectant to the wood? If so, what kind? I'm thinking latex paint or some kind of deck sealer. I live in the NYC area and get fairly wet weather along with high humidity in the summer.

BARAGA -- If you are looking to spend some time in the great outdoors, you will want to make sure you are well-equipped.
Your first stop is to the local sporting goods store. New camping gear can be pricey, however, buying quality gear can save you money over the years.
"A little bit of an investment goes a long way. Everything we sell here at the store is all name brand. We have The North Face, Mountain Hardware, Osprey Backpacks…they're quality gear that will last you a lifetime," said Arni Ronis, co-owner of Down Wind Sports.
Experts say most camping gear comes with a warranty, and if the items are damaged, you can send them back to the manufacturer for repair.
And when it comes to camping, experts say there are a few things you will definitely want to have.
"Everyone needs a good sleeping bag, and you'll need some kind of a shelter, albeit, as simple as a tarp, but I would highly recommend a tent with some kind of screen," Ronis said.
Most campers agree that bugs can be a nuisance, especially mosquitoes. If you do not want to spend a lot of money on those sprays that may or may not work, try using an orange peel. You can rub it on your face and arms, and it acts as a natural bug repellant.
Before you start braving the elements, the DNR has a few tips on where you can set up your campsite.
"We have our state forest campgrounds. State forest campgrounds offer a more rustic type of camping experience, our developed park facilities, and there's also an opportunity to do what we call dispersed camping on state forest land," said Don Mankee, the DNR Unit Manager for Baraga's Forest Resource Division.
There is also one more thing you will need while dispersed camping: you are required to have a Camp Registration Card. It is free of charge, and you can find it on the DNR website by clicking here.

Goal-line trial at St Mary's tonight
12:46pm Wednesday 16th May 2012 in Sport
Goal-line technology will be trialled live for the first time in tonight's Hampshire FA Senior Cup final in Southampton.
Independent testers EMPA will put the Hawk-Eye technology through its paces in the fixture between AFC Totton and Eastleigh FC at St Mary's Stadium.
The system will not be used by match officials for any key decisions, with only the EMPA observer in the stadium having access to the system readings during the trial.
Tests are also being conducted for the GoalRef system in Denmark and the Football Association hopes they will lead to the introduction of goal-line technology this summer.
The International Football Association Board will hold a special meeting in Kiev on July 2.
The two Danish GoalRef trials will be held on May 20, when Silkeborg IF play SonderjyskE, and in the May 23 fixture between FC Nordsjælland and AC Horsens.
