Half-empty and yet overloaded? Ferry frustrations increasingly common BRONWYN BEAIRSTO EDITOR
The ferry line of cars snaking up past BICS has been an increasingly common sight as summer dawns and overloads become more common. Some locals are saying that there’s been an abnormally high level of ferry trouble lately and it’s been a daily complaint on the island Facebook group. Karen Munro owns Bowen Island Dog Ranch and depends on the ferries to shuttle dogs to and from the mainland daily. The delays have been making her late for appointments and keeping families waiting on both ends of the run, she said. “I’ve been in business over 10 years now and have not seen this much havoc from BC Ferries ever.” Numerous people, on the Bowen run and others, also report ferries departing early with several empty spaces on board. Marina Pratchett said she had to run for a 6:20 a.m. ferry last Friday, just making it on board, but the ferry left two cars behind despite having space and time. “In 28 years on Bowen I have never seen this happen,” she said. Kim Smith and her husband have noticed boats leaving early as well. “I have heard that they can close the gates two minutes early, but, where is the sense of humanity,” asked Smith over email.

Bear on island reported to conservation services BRONWYN BEAIRSTO EDITOR
The Undercurrent has received reports of bear sightings, and a photo from Len Gilday of what appears to be bear scat. BIM manager of parks and environment, Bonny Brokenshire, said that bears do come to the island frequently, and residents should always be “bear aware.”
“They come and go,” she said. Wildlife is provincial jurisdiction, so conservation officers on the mainland receive bear sighting reports. Usually they don’t do anything about a bear on Bowen, except monitor the situation, said Brokenshire. “The conservation office has been alerted that there’ve been bear sightings on the island,” she said. If people have concerns or sight-

ings they can call the provincial conservation office at 1-877-952-7277. The BIM website has tips for living with wildlife. They include: being careful with your garbage and storing it in secure bins and buildings, picking fruit and berries as early as possible, cleaning the barbeque frequently, and keeping animal feed inside whenever possible.

Just as she lived her life, Iris Carr was organized in death. Last Friday morning she returned from hospice to the home on Bowen she’d shared with her husband Bill since 1997. On a piece of lined yellow pad paper, she marked down a to-do list: a sip of juice, a bath, dress in PJs and warm socks, sit on the couch and sip OJ, a last chance to check on the iPad. “And then carry on.” On this day, that meant welcoming the doctor who would help her die. After suffering greatly from an incurable cancer, Iris chose to end her life on May 18. Under Canada’s new doctor-assisted death legislation, she was able to plan where and when it would happen, with her husband Bill and nephew Andy by her side. Iris will be best remembered for her total dedication to animals. In 2000 she co-founded Coast Animal Welfare & Education Society (CAWES), to deal with the local feral cat problem. “She saw something and she had to be involved ,” said Bill. Continued on page 5

Feds give money to remove abandoned boat in
WWW.BOWENISLANDUNDERCURRENT.COM
Representatives of the Bowen Island Municipality — councillor Sue-Ellen Fast, manager of parks and senior bylaw officer Bonny Brokenshire and acting mayor Alison Morse — were all smiles when MP Pamela GoldsmithJones, at left, announced an $6,000 grant to remove the June Ruth from Mannion Bay/ Deep Bay.
Deep Bay
BRONWYN BEAIRSTO EDITOR
In Mannion Bay, water is seeping into the June Ruth. Bit by bit, the sea is reclaiming the abandoned boat. But no more. Next week, the derelict vessel will be put out of her misery and removed, thanks to recently announced federal funding. Last Friday morning Pam Goldsmith-Jones, MP for West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky Country, announced more than $80,000 in funding to B.C. recipients, including Bowen Island, under the federal Abandoned Boats Act. “Abandoned boats are a growing problem in Canada, and I have to take my hat off to Bowen Island for drawing attention to that fact and working so hard to get the legislation in place,” said Goldsmith-Jones. Bowen Island will be getting $6,000 to remove the June Ruth, while West Vancouver will be getting $10,000 to remove a boat in Caulfeild Cove.

Funding was also awarded to assess abandoned boats in Garden Bay, Victoria, Nanaimo, and Courtenay and Union Bay. Bowen Island acting mayor Alison Morse was at the announcement. “We hope this is a fund that will carry on indefinitely,” she said, “because it’s not a problem that’s going away.” Bruce Russell, spokesperson for Friends of Mannion Bay, has been vocal about the need to dispose of boats such as the June Ruth. “It has been anchored unused and
FRANCES FROST; 6.917 in; Process color; -; R0011568295
unattended for almost 18 months, taking up space in the bay and being nothing but an ugly eyesore,” he said. “It has cost us taxpayers’ money during the past few months for pump-outs that were needed to keep her afloat while waiting for the federal Transport Canada funding announcement.” At least two other boats in the bay are marked for removal, including one that has sunk. BIM manager of parks and environment and senior bylaw officer, Bonny Brokenshire, said that funding for disposing of those vessels is imminent.
Mannion Bay has been the subject of widespread discussion on Bowen. It has been a sort of dumping ground for boats near the end of their life. Another boat, the Toroka, is beached at Seymour Bay, and Brokenshire says its estimated removal cost is $7,500 to $10,000. BIM is applying for funding under the same program, which usually covers 75 to 90 per cent of removal costs. A total of five boats in Bowen waters are marked for removal with help from the federal program.
Without the funding Brokenshire estimates that it would cost the municipality in the realm of $30,000 to dispose of the boats. Since starting in her current position Brokenshire says that the municipality has removed around 20 boats more than four metres in length. Dealing with abandoned, or even occupied, vessels is complicated due to overlapping federal and local jurisdictions. Therefore, Brokenshire says, “The only solution to solving marine issues is a collaborative approach.”

Designer’s guide to Bowen’s ultimate clothing sale CAROLINE HURD This is a column fashion designer Caroline Hurd wrote last year, and we’re republishing it in anticipation of the May 26 clothing extravaganza at Cates Hill Chapel in support of BICS. Are you ready for BICS annual clothing sale this Saturday?! Or does a trip like that fill you with dread? Fear not my friend, let me walk you through the steps I take for an efficient and effective onestop shopping experience.
The Write Stuff. The Undercurrent encourages reader participation in your community newspaper. You must include your full name and a daytime phone number (for verification only). The editor reserves the right to edit for clarity, legality, brevity and taste. Here’s how. To submit a letter to the editor, fax 604-947-0148 or mail it to #102, 495 Government Rd., PO Box 130, Bowen Island, BC V0N 1G0 or email editor@ bowenislandundercurrent.com.
Step 1: clear the wardrobe. Think of your wardrobe as a well-stocked pantry. It must serve your tastes, work habits and lifestyle. Keep only your favourite pieces. If you haven’t worn an item in 12 months, it’s time to pass it on. Are your favorites too worn or torn? Whatever can’t be salvaged, take note to replace and chuck — or turn them into cleaning rags. Whatever can be mended, bring to the repair shop (unless you how to use a thread and needle). Dress shoes need new soles? Get them fixed and wear them for another five years. Step 2: make a list of what’s missing. Let’s be honest, all we really need are a good jacket, 1-2 cardigans, 7-10 tops, 3-4 bottoms, three pairs of shoes (casual, dressy, runners), rain boots and a bag or two that match the shoes. If you choose carefully and make everything work well together, you will have dozens of outfits to work with. The secret: you need to be able to wear each piece in at least five different looks. If you can only think of one or two, it’s not worth the toonie. Now once your basics are
covered, accessories will be your spice rack. Here’s where the fun happens! A scarf, a belt and bling can turn any basic into an outfit. Step 3: This is my favourite: research! What’s the new thing? The fashion industry wants you to ask that question. As a fashion designer, my advice to you is when in doubt, choose style over trend. Find your muses: consider people that have a similar shape to yours and that you think dress well. Study the pieces that they wear and the effect of the overall silhouette combinations that they put together. Colour is secondary. You are looking at length of tops, style of pants, if it’s fitted or loose. My favorite places for online research include Pinterest and bloggers. Make a list of the best styles or better yet, print out a few pics of what you have found. Choose a coffee shop, sit and do some people watching. You’re not judging, your researching. Step 4: Now that you are ready to shop, start with the designer rack and look for high end goods. You get what you pay for so always go for the best you can afford. Merino wool, cashmere and natural fibres are your friend. They age well and keep you comfortable. An acrylic sweater will look good for about five hours. Also, don’t limit yourself to your gender’s section. Ladies, a men’s dress shirt belted, worn with slim pants and a little heel has been stylish for the past half-century. Embrace the classics and you’ll never worry about what to wear again. Thank you for supporting BICS. Happy Shopping!
Bob Turner has filmed his adventures around the Howe Sound.
Local film festival celebrates the wild nature of Bowen Island Bowen’s community abounds with naturalists, outdoor enthusiasts, and sporting authorities who are engaged in a wide variety of water and landbased activities. The Bowen Island Adventure Film Festival (BIAFF) provides an opportunity for these everyday adventurers and amateur filmmakers to share their passions. The third annual BIAFF will be held on Saturday, May 26 at the Bowen Island Lodge. The event will feature several short films and slideshow presentations showcasing local adventurers who get outside and play on and around Bowen Island. Last year’s festival favourite, as voted by the audience, was presented by local trail runner Kim McMullen, who shared a funny and honest story about Bowen Island as her training ground for an ultramarathon race. The 2018 BIAFF will again feature a wide array of stories including climbing, open-water swimming, scuba diving, foraging, hiking, mountain biking, trail running, and more. Because adventurers spend so
much of their lives outdoors, many become advocates for environmental stewardship, and this message is also woven throughout many of their stories. Another perennial fan favourite, Bob Turner, former mayor of Bowen Island, will present a personal and moving film about his adventures through the seasons around his beloved home of Howe Sound. “Our local outdoors is a big place and we spread out in it, so it’s hard to know all the neat things that people get up to,” says Turner. “BIAFF brings those stories together. It’s really inspiring and energizing.” Doors will be open at 5:00 p.m. for people to arrive early and have their chance to get onto a slackline, which will be set up on the grounds or to enjoy one of the locally-crafted beer or juice beverages. The show will start at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $12 in advance, online only, $15 at the door or in advance at http://biaff.ca/tickets/ Kiley Redhead contact@biaff.ca

CANADIAN COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER AWARD 2011
Passion, compassion and thoughtfulness shaped Iris Carr’s life continued from page 1 Iris served as secretary to the organization until recently, organizing bottles at fundraisers and coordinating the spaying and neutering of cats. Iris’s long-time friend and former CAWES president Angie McCullough says, “She was really the president because she ran the show.” “She was fun-loving and funny,” says Angie. “The compassion was resounding in her heart. “I so admired that about her.” Not that meetings always went smoothly. Angie can remember a time that a CAWES meeting got so heated that she (Angie) held it up with a paintball gun. Current president Susanna Braund also feels the loss. “The passion, the thoughtfulness, the compassion, these are the things we love about her,” said Braund. People don’t remember that Bowen had a real feral cat problem, Braund says, and Iris was instrumental in fixing it. “She was visionary. “Until very recently, she was the one whose number was given out as

the CAWES number.” Iris Crawley was born in Barnet, just north of London, England in 1943. As a young woman, she came to Canada for Expo ’67, one of the two best decisions of her life, she’d tell people. At a party in Toronto one night Iris scoped out Bill, and gave him her number. That was the other best decision. Bill was enchanted and stayed late that night to help with the dishes. However, in doing so he accidentally washed off the number. But fate was kind and, through some sleuthing, he found her and they started dating. One night, a couple years after they’d met, Bill arrived at Iris’s building to hear music blasting in the hallway. It was Laura Nyro’s 1969 hit, “Wedding Bell Blues,” with the distinctive refrain, “Kisses and love won’t carry me till you marry me Bill.” “It took me another six months to get the hint,” Bill chuckles. August 1 would have been their 48th wedding anniversary. “I can’t imagine what my life
Iris and Bill were married in 1970. “I can’t imagine what my life would have been like if I hadn’t met her,” he says.

Iris Carr, above and on the right in the photo at left with her friend Lesley, always had an affinity for cats. When she and Bill moved to Bowen Island, she was dismayed by the number of feral felines. She co-founded CAWES to address the problem. In 2016, the island recognized Iris and Bill’s many contributions to the community by naming them citizens of the year.
would have been like if I hadn’t met her,” says Bill. The couple moved from Toronto to Burnaby to Horseshoe Bay, with Iris working for Xerox and Toshiba, among other companies. When they got to the West Coast, the Carrs knew they were going to stay. “We fell in love with both the mountains and the ocean,” says Bill. The couple moved to Bowen in 1997. Iris loved travelling, and they had not only done road trips in Europe, but drove across Canada in 2000. She and Bill made the trip in a Westphalia, reminiscent of the one in which they’d spent their honeymoon, touring Spain and France.
For her service to the island, in 2016 Iris, along with Bill, a longtime volunteer with the recycling depot and other initiatives, received the citizen of the year award for Bowen Island. Iris survived breast cancer in 2000, but last year it returned. The doctors told her she would never get better, and Iris decided to leave on her own terms. “D-day,” she called it in emails to Bill and her caregivers. “Please don’t make me wait,” she wrote. On an afternoon ferry May 18, the Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) doctor and nurse came over to Bowen.
“There was no rush,” says Bill. The doctor interviewed Iris to make sure she wasn’t being coerced and was of sound mind, and to make sure she still wanted to go through with the procedure. Iris had at least once before changed her mind. But this time, she was ready. Bill said he accepted her decision. “I could see she was suffering, and she’d never be cured,” he said. Those close to Iris knew about her decision and the countdown to D-day. “She was brave the way she went,” said Angie, “but I’m sad.” At Iris’s request, there will be no memorial service.

A year in the life of the Ali family
Arriving as refugees with the help of islanders, family is now self-sufficient LISBETH HAIGH CONTRIBUTOR
Bowen’s greatest attribute is its community. We value how fundamental community is to our sense of wellbeing, safety and connectedness to the world. Islanders have made community a collective priority. It is perhaps because of this shared outlook that when the Syrian refugee crisis was at its peak in December 2015, Islanders felt a call to action. Through the 30/30 Project, Bowen came together in the spirit of community to raise the funds to sponsor a Syrian family. On a cold, rainy, night in March 2017, the Ali family touched down in Vancouver and took the first steps into their new life in Canada. While Bowen’s community is mighty, its infrastructure is not. The 30/30 Project partnered with the refugee committee based out of St. Andrews-Wesley who walked alongside the Ali family during their first year in Canada. The family says that at times it was overwhelming and stressful; at other times it was simply joyous. Supporting their emotional and practical needs during the process of resettlement was complex.
The Ali family of Syria received support from Bowen Islanders to start their new life in Canada. Children attended school for the first time and adults took on the daunting task of learning new skills and a new language while immersing themselves into a new city filled with different customs. Our healthcare, banking, settlement, transportation and housing services all needed to be navigated. The Ali family came to Bowen to mark their first Thanksgiving in Canada. During the meal, a family member shared with the table her family’s deep gratitude to entire

Bowen community. The family member said: “Today we are all gathered to celebrate one of the many new customs that we love in our new homeland. Thank you for uniting us. Thank you for putting peacefulness in our minds, soul and heart.” The one-year sponsorship of the family concluded this March. Due to the tremendous hard work of both the Ali family and the refugee committee of St. Andrews-Wesley, they are now self-suffi-
cient and no longer require financial support. Some members of the family have found meaningful work, while others are utilizing the opportunity to continue their education. The relationship and connection doesn’t end, however; they will continue to receive support and guidance as their new life in Canada unfolds. They are at the beginning of their family’s story of how they became Canadians. Thank you Bowen for enabling this chapter to be written.

Dr. Clifford J. Anastasiou of Grafton Bay died on May 14th after several years of declining health and mobility. He was 89. Kip, Cliff to his colleagues, lived in Victoria until his UBC days, when he met the love of his life and fellow educator, Joan Barton, the very first week! There he earned his Hon BSc and MEd. He taught high school science in West Vancouver, then in Anaheim, California, where he juggled raising a young family, teaching, and pursuit of his PhD in Marine Mycology. He pioneered the study of fungi in salt water lakes. After winning a post-Sputnik science ed. prize, he designed California’s model science lab. He became a much-loved professor of Science and Education at UBC in 1962, teaching there until 1994. While remaining active as a mycologist, he became a tremendous innovator and leader in the field, of education, impacting thousands of educators around the world. He championed hands-on discovery learning and the adaptation to local materials and environments. During his career he took a fellowship at Harvard and, the same year, helped develop original African-based science curricula for Commonwealth African nations. He assisted Piaget’s programme in child development in Geneva. Peace Corps had him training science teachers in Malaysia. He researched and lectured in many countries. At home in B.C., he ran a prolific publishing house for new science units, with titles such as “The Stump Book” and both developed and delivered courses to serve First Nations teachers. In hospice, the day before he passed, he remarked on how much he enjoyed writing. He authored numerous books and articles. He loved nature and, with Joan, travelled to many of the wild places on the planet. A life-long learner and educator, even in his eighties, he continued to share his enthusiasm for science in spell-binding lectures for Bowen seniors. Kip is survived by his wife, Joan, his children, Roger (Anne)Anastasiou, Melanie (Mark Halden) Anastasiou & Karen (Geoff) Cowper, his grandchildren: Peter & Kimberley Anastasiou, John & Jared May, Matthew, Daniel & Nicholas Cowper, and many loving nieces and nephews including Victoria Tapics here on Bowen. There will be no formal service, but his Bowen friends are invited to an informal gathering and light luncheon at Bowen Court on Monday, June 11th at noon.

has so far been able to satisfactorily tell the Undercurrent what’s causing the holdup. B.C. Ferries says that there has been more traffic lately. “For the period of April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2018, vehicle traffic was up 5.72 per cent and passenger traffic was up 6.06 per cent on the Horseshoe Bay – Bowen Island route over the same period the year prior,” says executive director of public affairs, Deborah Marshall over email. Marshall also said that, anecdotally, the Horseshoe Bay staff has found that there’s more traffic. She suggests the April 1 fare cuts could have stimulated the increased flow of people and cars. Marshall noted that “for the first 21 days of May, [stats] show that 80.4 per cent of sailings departed within 10 minutes of the scheduled departure time.” Susanna Braund is the chair of Bowen’s Ferry Advisory Committee, meant to facilitate communication to and from B.C. Ferries. She’s noticed the lineups and acknowledges
the frustrations of locals. Braund notes that Horseshoe Bay has only three berths and more than 30 runs from its terminal every day. There can also only be one ferry moving in the bay at once, and priority is given to larger ferries. This makes staying on time very important so as to not back up the system too much. Indeed, one of the most common reasons B.C. Ferries gives for delays is “berth congestion.” She says that in order to keep to the schedule, the ferry can leave even when it’s not full and there are cars waiting to board. “The captain has discretion to leave whenever he sees fit.” B.C. Ferries is planning on redeveloping its Horseshoe Bay terminal and the public can give their thoughts online at https://www. bcferries.com/about/hsbvision/. However, it’s a narrow harbour and there isn’t necessarily room for another berth said Braund. “It’s a very difficult infrastructure thing.”
Composting is not only good for island but is also a good business opportunity LINDA BARRATT B.I GARDEN CLUB
Next week, the Bowen Island Garden club will welcome Peter Taggart, who will give a presentation on green waste composting possibilities for Bowen Island. Peter is a retired metallurgical engineer and a Bowen Islander. He has a keen interest in green waste composting and technologies that are available for small communities.

Peter’s presentation will be based on current and projected green waste production on Bowen Island, many site visits and his research. He will discuss practical and environmental advantages for on-island composting as well as the potential business opportunities such a facility could provide on Bowen Island. Please join us on May 28 at 7 p.m. at the Annex Cove Commons. Members no charge, guests $3.

Bowen Island is small enough to feel like a community, and a pretty friendly one most of the time. But occasionally we need to indulge in our natural instinct for tribalism, and have a good old-fashioned setto with our neighbours. That’s why Bowen Island Golf Club has an annual community challenge tournament, which took place Saturday, May 19, attracting four-person teams from all regions of the island: Cowan Point/Fairweather, Valley/Sunset/Josephine, Tunstall Bay/Sealeigh Park, Bowen Bay/
Bluewater, Mt. Gardner/Woods Rd., Cates Hill/Valhalla, Snug Cove/ Miller’s Landing, Eaglecliff, Hood Point, and Hood Point West. The Gwynneth Rogers Community Challenge Trophy was awarded to the winning team by Gwynneth’s son Stephen Rogers, whose family knows a thing or two about Bowen communities. Their history on Cowan Point traces back a century. Stephen presented the cup to this year’s triumphant neighbourhood: Bluewater. It was represented by the powerhouse team of Kathy Clarke, Peter Clarke, Steve Bellringer and David Bellringer. Keen observers may note that

Dave Bellringer does not live in the Bluewater neighbourhood, but our panel of judges allowed his participation as a last-minute substitute for his mother, who was ill. We do not want to hear from the lawyers for runners-up Braden Jolly, Adam Jolly, Barb Rendell and Bob Miller, who represented Hood Point West. To bring this ruthless competition to a more Bowen-like conclusion, the Bruce and Dorene Russell Community Spirit Award was presented by Bruce himself to Hood Point West for having the most participants. HPW fielded four teams, including the aforementioned runners-up.

The Handloggers Half Marathon is a formidable 21 kilometre trail run race that winds around Mt. Gardner. What started out as a seed of an idea during a regular trail run, the first event took off with just five hardy runners. Six years later, the Handloggers Half Marathon has grown to involve over 70 racers. Encouraged by its evolution, race director Phil Osborne, wants to inspire even more islanders to experience the joy of trail running. Whether you have been wanting to make the transition from running road to trails or perhaps to extend your distances, you can achieve your aspirations by committing to this race. For those who want to feel supported in their preparation, in collaboration with Bowen Island Adventures, Osborne has created a training program designed specifically to help you achieve this goal.
The intention of the program is to help build your strength and fitness in stages while remaining injury free. Training with a group is a great way to stay energized and encourage each other on your journey. You will also have an opportunity to experience a variety of Bowen’s best running trails “Race Day Ready” is a 14-week training program, which includes a comprehensive schedule developed by experienced local trail runners, plus weekly running clinics with coaching advice and technical tips. There are two training options: one for those who want to complete the full race, and a second for those who want to do a shorter relay portion. The program starts Saturday, June 2 and goes until race day on September 1, 2018. Your registration fee includes entry to this year’s race. Partial proceeds go to support the Bowen Island Trails Society. To learn more or to register, visit: bowenislandadventures.com.

Tick season tips for pet owners
It’s tick season. We had a Q & A with Bowen Island Veterinary Services about how to protect your dog. How often do you see dogs with ticks? We will see or talk to owners about ticks almost everyday. What are the dangers for animals with ticks? Some ticks can carry Lyme disease. What are some good ways to prevent your animals from getting ticks? We sell two great product here, Bravecto and Advantix. Bravectco is a treat that your dog eats and lasts for three months. Advantix is a topical that you apply every month. Both products kill fleas as well as ticks.
If you do find that they have ticks, what should you do? If you find a tick on your dog you can remove it. Make sure you get the whole body or it can led into infection. We sell a great product call a tick twister. It removes the whole tick without ever having to touch the tick. Do you see any major mistakes from animal owners, when it comes to ticks? People who don’t have good eyesight some time mistake a lump for a tick. Any other tick wisdom? If your dog is on any of these medications the tick will be dead before any potential disease transmission can happen.
