Bowen Buzz: Road delays and high fire danger BRONWYN BEAIRSTO EDITOR
Road repaving began Monday in Snug Cove. Crawling traffic and a 20-minute ferry delay are among the consequences this week of the long-expected resurfacing. Affected areas include Trunk Road and a small portion of Dorman Road. Roadwork is expected to take up to two weeks, during which cove traffic will be reduced to a single lane from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday. “Resurfacing includes grinding down the existing pavement, re-paving and then painting new lines,” says the BIM website. “We appreciate your patience while we complete this work before the peak of the summer season.” With all the road construction BICS says there could be delays of 10-15 minutes on some bus routes. There’s a new police officer in town: Cst. Greg Copeland started Monday. He’s replacing Cst. Chris Coulter since Coulter and his family departed for Vancouver Island. Watch those flames – Bowen fire danger rating is now at high With recent hot, dry weather the island’s fire danger has risen to high. Backyard campfires, blasting and using a chainsaw in public spaces are prohibited and if you’re barbecueing – propane only. The B.C. wildfire service says that under high danger conditions, “Forest fuels are very dry and the fire risk is serious. New fires may start easily, burn vigorously, and challenge fire suppression efforts. “Extreme caution must be used in any forest activities.”

Major funding for cross-island multi-use trail BRONWYN BEAIRSTO EDITOR
On the tail(pipe) of Bowen Island Municipality’s 20-year transportation plan being adopted, the province announced June 13 that BIM would receive $135,666 for phase one of a cross-island multi-use trail. The funding, which is part of the BikeBC program, will allow the municipality to do the technical work required to see exactly where
the trail will go. The trail was one of the high priority items on the new municipal plan. “This is a really great kick start,” said councillor Melanie Mason. “Often these plans stay plans, but we’re actually going to get going.” TransLink has already agreed to 50 per cent cost-sharing for phase one and the BikeBC funding will cover 75 per cent of the remaining costs.
Mason says this is the first time BIM has applied for this kind of funding, as funding at this level usually requires demonstrated community engagement. She says the transportation plan allowed BIM to show the province this engagement. According to the transportation plan, the multi-use trail is projected to have five stages. Transportation committee chair Rob Wynen says that construction of the trail is expected to begin in 2019.

Dogs and Wildlife Don’t Mix Allowing your dog to chase wildlife (deer, geese, otters, etc) is illegal throughout British Columbia, including private property, crown land, parks and beaches (BC Wildlife Act). When notified of incidents, provincial conservation officers come to Bowen Island to investigate cases of dogs chasing wildlife. Bowen Island also has a dog control bylaw (Bylaw No. 30, 2001), which states that dogs are to be under control at all times and are not permitted to chase wildlife. Please ensure that your dog does not chase wildlife - anywhere, including your own property. If you witness a dog chasing any wildlife please let Bylaw Services know by calling 604-947-4255 or 604-328-5499. Bylaw Services will ask that you also report the incident R.A.P.P (Report all Poachers and Polluters) by calling the 24 hour conservation hotline at 1-877-9527277, or using their online reporting system (please google RAPP for more information).
The Bowen Island Fire Department encourages residents to take steps to protect your home from wildfire. The FireSmart program can help you figure out how. Many residential dwellings on Bowen Island are surrounded by dense forest and low-lying brush, increasing the vulnerability to wildfire spread. We are offering FREE workshops in 2018 and 2019 to get Bowen Island residents familiar with and participating in the FireSmart program. Get your neighbours together and host in your home, or we can host groups at the fire hall. Residents that take steps to FireSmart their properties are eligible for FREE green waste disposal.

Celebrate National Indigenous People’s Day at Cove Commons PAULINE LE BEL CONTRIBUTOR
Bowen Island is adding another festive occasion to its calendar. National Indigenous Peoples Day, first celebrated in 1996 as National Aboriginal Day, is an opportunity to witness and celebrate the culture and heritage of First Nations, Inuit and Metis. The local event, which includes storytelling, drumming, dancing and refreshments begins at 7 p.m. June 21 at Cove Commons. The celebration is part of Knowing Our Place, a reconciliation initiative conceived and led by Pauline Le Bel, and coordinated by the Bowen Island Arts Council and the Bowen Island Public Library. Additional partners include the Bowen Island Municipality and the Literacy Task Group. Everyone is invited to gather on the evening of the longest day of the year and welcome Squamish Nation storyteller, Rebecca Duncan, whose ancestral name is Tsitsayxemaat. In her engaging style, she retells the ancient stories of the Squamish Nation with a dramatic flair, making them relevant to a contemporary audience. Once you’ve heard Rebecca tell the uplifting story of Chichi’yuy,
you will never look at those iconic mountain peaks (recently named the Lions) in the same way. Simon James/Winadzi, a Kwakwa’wakw Nation artist and a Bowen resident will also be sharing traditional stories with us. Born in Alert Bay, he has been dancing, drumming and carving for more than 30 years. He is the co-creator of Raven Tales, an award-winning animated television show. Winadzi is a beloved storyteller on the island and he engages everyone with his stories. During the research for my book, Whale in the Door, I read the Truth and Reconciliation Commission final report. I learned that: “Reconciliation is an ongoing process of establishing and maintaining respectful relationships.” I wanted to create events on the island that would do just that. The library and the arts council, eager to strengthen their Indigenous programming, came on board. The first Knowing Our Place event was the Blanket Exercise, a workshop to experience the impacts of colonialism on our relationships. It was followed by Building Bridges Through Art, featuring Squamish Nation storytellers and artists. I also lead a popular book club to explore writing by Indigenous authors.

Bowen stars shine at new gallery BRONWYN BEAIRSTO EDITOR
Beneath the hubbub of the pub, there’s a beach of sorts. With marine-coloured walls, and sandcoloured hanging slats, and some driftwood shelving, one can almost hear waves lapping at your feet. The Catching Stars Gallery, which opened in May, is the latest venture from local artists, Pauulet Hohn, Marie Neys and Emilie Kaplun.
The co-operative, currently featuring 28 artists, offers everything from oil paintings, to leatherwork to jewelry – though it’s all rooted in nature.
“Our mission was to create a location where local artists could have a permanent installation of their work” says Neys. The trio wants to make sure the majority of sales go back to artists,
while keeping the business viable. While most artists are from Bowen, Hohn, Neys and Kaplun have curated some works from off-island artists to fill out the gallery. But the demand for gallery space is there. “We already have a waiting list,” says Kaplun. To complement the gallery, Neys, does framing in the back of the shop.
“People even come over from Vancouver for framing,” says Neys who is also an oil painter, with a background in marketing, “and then people stop as they’re on their way to the back.” Hohn does mosaic work, and is constantly collecting glass and found items for her work. “I love that hunt,” says Hohn. Kaplun is part-time curator of Bowen Island Arts Council, and among other artistic disciplines, makes jewelry.
The gallery is the culmination of years of work and dreams for all three women. “I wanted to be selling art in the cove,” says Neys, who, like her business partners, had previously been selling art in Artisan Square. So when the below-pub store space became available in 2016 a lease was quickly signed. “We were very excited when the opportunity arose,” says Hohn. Today, three star-like chandeliers hang from the roof of the gallery. They represent the three dreams that came together in Catching Stars.
Ever the artist, “I’m a strong believer in the power of three,” says Neys.
The gallery is open daily. Its grand opening party is Saturday, June 23 from 3 to 6 p.m. Evereryone is welcome to join the celebration.

Grandfather’s note to a graduate never loses its resonance
CORDELL WYNNE MEN ON THE ROCK
Dear graduates: well done! We at the Undercurrent wish you every happiness. There’s not much to say that hasn’t been hashed over in your ceremonies over the past few weeks, but I’ve got just a few lines for you. A few years ago, after my undergraduate graduation, my now-deceased grandfather sent me an email that has stuck in my mind (and remained in my inbox) ever since. “I would like you to remember,” he wrote, “that education was not invented to help people make money. Education was invented to help people understand themselves and the world. With education you can be more satisfied with your own self, and can contribute more to the wellbeing of the world.” We’re facing a lot of problems. It’s my job to keep up to date on the news – and it’s hard to stomach what I’m reading sometimes. But you’ve taken first steps toward doing something about it, keep going. I would also like to acknowledge that this edition is published on National Indigenous Peoples Day. Though not a statutory holiday in B.C., I urge everyone and anyone to take some time to learn about local nations, culture, and language, though please be cognisant of the mental and emotional labour you may place on certain people if you ask them to educate you. There are plenty of resources online, and Twitter is a great place to find new voices. Bowen Island is on the traditional territory of the Squamish Nation. I’ve heard, and googlesearched a couple names belonging to the island, among them Xwililxhym, Qole’laqom and Nexwlélexm.

We have done it since ancient times. Work songs, war chants and religious texts have long been sung by men in groups. Certainly women have their own genderspecific song circles, but as a member of Men on the Rock, I have been wondering if men are not motivated into collective song by a very separate masculine need. We are Bowen’s 100 per cent male choir, except for our choral director, Nicole Thomas Zyczynski, who is 100 per cent female. Work songs eased toil for sailors, miners, farmers and soldiers by synchronizing their rhythm of action and breathing, helping them to focus on tasks. Sea shanties, for instance, followed the
together. It is a gas, frankly. Nicole Thomas Zyczynski has led choirs for the past 28 years (but claims MOR is the most fun ever). Her rich talents as a composer, instrumentalist and arranger are apparent throughout our concerts. She’s a fireball. It should be noted that Nicole, like many Boweners, is facing the loss of her rented home and is seeking another in which she can host rehearsals for our swelling ranks. Fifteen fellas and growing take up some square footage. Any leads appreciated. We perform with guests Buff Allen, Peter Clarke, Peter Dives, Dal McCrindle Thursday June 21 at Cates Chapel and Friday June 22 at Tunstall Bay Beach Club. Eight p.m. both evenings. Tickets $20 at the pharmacy or the door. TBBC members $10 on Friday.
rhythms of jobs such as winding the capstan, hoisting the yards, or hauling nets. Likewise railroad songs such as “Steel Driving Man” served to coordinate the driving of spikes with sledgehammers. For men, there are numerous social and physical benefits to belting out songs with other guys: comradery, respite from family duties, and the special humour which men share in one another’s company. By the latter I refer not to coarse themes, but to that brand of male verbal roughhousing which promotes bonding and collective action. And this goes to the core of the titular question: choral singing for men is an action; men sing seeking ephemeral accomplishment, not a concrete product, similar to team sports. Men love to focus together through “doing”

Bowen transportation is about to change ROB WYNEN B.I.TRANSPORTATION CHAIR
Transportation in Vancouver has changed to such a degree that planners from around the world visit “town” to see what’s in the water. In the ’90s, the number of residents commuting to work by car was hovering in the mid 70 per cent range. In 2016, those travelling to work by car became a minority in the city. In just over two decades, Vancouver has seen a drastic shift in how people move about, and the signs are everywhere. From the jump in sidewalk patios to the cycling lanes and street furniture, the urban landscape has changed. The “Vancouver Model” is credited with inducing the first ever drop in vehicle traffic in North America, while also seeing dramatic increases in both residents and businesses. On Bowen we see a bit of a different picture. As the population grows, so does vehicle traffic. We are one of the most car -ependent communities in Metro Vancouver. While many may see this as a natural process, something we need to get used to, many others are wondering if there is a “Bowen Model” that can move us away from reliance on the automobile. At last Monday’s council meeting, Bowen may have taken a big step in setting what transportation will look like on-island over the next two decades. After close to four years of work, we passed our first transportation plan. As pointed out during the meeting, to date, transportation infrastructure was implemented in an ad hoc basis. Short on parking? Let’s just build
more. Not enough car space on the ferry? Let’s add another deck and blast a rock wall to expand marshaling. This may alleviate current pressure to the system, but it does little to create a transportation future that we can afford and be happy with. A recent Bowen survey found that 68 per cent of residents would choose modes of transportation other than the car if options were available. A transportation plan is a key ingredient to getting us out of a reactionary approach to planning. The new plan calls for an increased focus on both pedestrian and cycling safety through improved facilities, better integration with transit, especially for those travelling to the city, and better ferry options (such as a pedestrian ferry). Some of these changes we will see whether we like it or not. Our ferry is at its maximum capacity, there is no more room for parking in the cove and the cost of operating and travelling with a car is becoming increasingly prohibitive. We will need to change, how we change and plan for change is up to us. In more recent news, Translink has agreed to cost-share the construction of a bike barn for motorcycles and bicycles on our dock to the left of the ferry. Gone are the days of coming home to a wet bike seat and helmet. Along with the fantastic sidewalk treatment in front of the pub, the improvements to Cardena Drive and next week’s paving of the first section of our cross-island bike path in front of the school, funded by BC Hydro, these new projects are hopeful signs for more positive, proactive and sustainable transportation future on Bowen.

From hippies to fashionistas: Island style on display at museum INES ORTNER MUSEUM CURATOR
Marion Moore’s family has been on the island for generations. In her youth, she delivered milk from Collins Farm, her home, to the cottages at Davies Orchard. On Friday, June 22 she will turn 96, making her one of the island’s oldest residents.
Some people might argue that Bowen has no style, others might confidently use simple descriptions like: fresh, casual or relaxed. And then there are people who dare to be more specific describing Bowen style: hippy-esque, town-meetsrural, sport spectator-ish or transient-eclectic. Wherever you fall on the scale, when you think of Bowen style, you might think of how you dress yourself or you might think of an Islander you see frequently or remember a clothing store from Bowen’s past or present. This year’s summer exhibition Fashionably Bowen: Island Style (June 24 – September 26) is featuring the wide range of past styles on Bowen, with samples of Bowen’s own style icons (yes, we dare call them icons) as well as fashion stores and their fashion shows, clothing makers, designers and fashionistas who live what they love. We are thrilled to be able to show some beautiful clothing from the ’60s, owned and worn by Karl and Stephanie Dudda, long-time Bowen Islanders. Neither missed a chance to dress up and Stephanie made a daily effort with her extravagant
style. Her daughter Gail Gerber, a ballerina and actress who appeared opposite Elvis Presley in Girl Happy (1965) and Harum Scarum (1965) is also represented in our exhibit. Talking of fashion icons, Bowen’s own fashionista extraordinaire, Angie McCulloch, contributed an outfit that has more than one story. We also feature the adventurous stories and clothing of Kami Kanetsuka, Sam Knowles, Judi Gedye, Elena Waldman and the Big Idea Store as well as protest wear, a never-shown, beautiful Edwardian wedding dress from our collection and a new acquisition from Norma Dallas of a stunning turn of the century christening outfit. We are opening the exhibition in conjunction with our AGM on Sunday, June 24, 1-4 p.m. For musical entertainment we welcome the Stiver & Schut jazz duo and light refreshments will be served. As part of our summer speaker series one special treat is coming up very soon: Collector, curator and lecturer extraordinaire of historical fashion, Ivan Sayers, is coming to Bowen Island. For his first time giving a talk on Bowen, Sayers presents one of his newest lectures, “Waisted Efforts,” with great insight of 20th Century fashion’s highs and lows. Ivan will display some fantastic out-

Dawson is graduating from Rockridge Secondary School and will be attending the Peter B. Gustavson School of Business at UVic in the fall.
Bowen Wright
From Montessori Preschool, to BICS, to commuting to Rockridge, Bowen’s 16 years on the island with this lovely community have meant the world to her. Here are her top five things she will miss most about Bowen Island while she is at UBC in the fall studying International Relations: 1. The Snug’s curry wraps. 2. Exploring Cape Roger Curtis. 3. Being asked if she was named after the island (she wasn’t!) 4. Sunrise and sunset ferry rides. 5. Always recognizing a friendly face no matter where she is on the island. Bowen thanks her Mom, Dad, and siblings Casey, Cooper, and Brinley, for always supporting her and making her laugh!
Madeline Epps Conn
Growing up on Bowen Island has made me the person I am today, and I am so grateful to have had this experience! Thank you to my family and friends who have supported me throughout this journey. This fall, I am beyond excited to be attending McGill University, although I must admit that I am most looking forward to the fiveminute commute!
Building a future for yourselves....

Congratulations to Shirah Esseiva who is graduating from Rockridge Secondary. After spending the summer travelling in Indonesia with friends, Shirah will be moving to Kelowna to attend UBC Okanagan.
My education on Bowen has been awesome, from the family centre and Montessori to IDLC and Self Design High (online school), which I am eternally grateful to for since I didn’t have to wake up at 5 o’clock every morning for three years, and it gave me time to focus on doing art. I’m not exactly sure what I’m doing next yet, but I have been told really no one does, so I think that’s ok. Cheers everyone.

2018 CONGRATULATIONS Willow Gilbert
Would you rather:
My name’s Willow Gilbert and I am a graduate from Rockridge. I have lived on Bowen Island since I was four and attended BICS from kindergarten through to Grade 7, then Rockridge from Grades 8-12. I would like to thank the Bowen Island community, my family, and friends for always being supportive and caring through my many years as a member of the Bowen Island community. Next year I plan on attending sciences at the University of Victoria. I guess I couldn’t leave the island life behind.
a) Shop at Gucci b) Shop at Knick Knack Nook
Tobin Sparling
Growing up on Bowen has shaped who I am today. I am grateful that this is the place I will be able to return to and forever call home. Next year I’m excited to study science at UBC and am looking forward to helping to figure out solutions to some of the world’s environmental problems.
Thomas Bement
I arrived at Bowen back in 2006; went to BICS, Learning Centre, IPS, and then Rockridge. I played soccer for years with the Bowen Football Club before I moved on to the West Van club. I also play co-ed soccer on Bowen with our community players. I’ve enjoyed riding and building some of the many mountain bike trails here. Thanks to the Bowen community, especially my amazing mentors and family, for helping me get to this place in my life. Next year, I’ll be off studying engineering at UBC where I’ll get to do what I love — building cool things.
Aria Willis Claire Leverton
After 18 years of living, working and playing on Bowen Island, Claire is heading off to Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto this fall. In her time on Bowen, her creative contributions included exhibits in the gallery, posters for local organizations and homemade creations at the Christmas craft fair. Who knows where she will take her creative pursuits next as she embarks on her environmental and interior design degree. Hopefully we will see her return for Bowen Christmas traditions and summer beach adventures. No early season swims in Lake Ontario!
To all graduates from Bowen Island Montessori: With happy hearts, BIMS is proud to wish our friends well as they start on their new adventure in kindergarten. It has been our honour to watch you begin on the big work of becoming you. We know that you are more than ready for the cosmic education that awaits each of you. Come and visit anytime you like. The door is always open.
When I grow up I want to be….
Aria would like to thank her friends, family and community members for the endless support over the past years. Special thanks to her parents and grandparents, the IDLC and IPS staff, and the gymnastics community for making her time on the island one to remember. Find Aria working, travelling and skiing this year before she heads to McGill University for Engineering in the fall of 2019.
Would you rather: a) Be stuck in the year 2000 for the rest of your life? b) Be stuck in the year 2018 for the rest of your life?

Through the literature-based Foundation Year Program she will pursue a Bachelor of Science. Molly is looking forward to the lively maritime music scene and to exploring the Atlantic coast. She is also looking forward to returning to her Bowen community and strapping on her skis. Molly would like to thank everyone who has shared in this incredible journey.
Would you rather:
a) have your parents read every text you’ve ever sent B) go without wifi for a year
Payton Grundy

Payton attended the hockey academy at Sentinel Secondary and for the past two years attended WVSS. Payton will be going to Concordia University in Montreal for a bachelor of computer science. Payton would like to thank the Bowen Island Fire Department for supporting his rugby exchange trip to New Zealand and to the Bowen Island Golf Course for years of employment and supporting his post secondary endeavours with a scholarship.

Take to the next stage of life this adventurous vigor. We wish you fun, adventure and contentment for all that is to come. - Mom and Dad
Max Wilson
I feel fortunate to have grown up on Bowen Island. In order, I have attended Bowen Children’s Centre, Montessori Preschool, Monica’s Program, Bowen Island Community School, Island Pacific School, and finally Rockridge Secondary School. I have had fabulous teachers throughout but would like to give a special shout-out to Mr. Brown and Ted Spear. I look forward to starting at UVic in engineering in September. Hopefully there will be a shorter commute! I would like to congratulate all my fellow grads, and I wish you all a great summer!

Daisy originally came in to Bowen vet with an infected toe nail, which unfortunately did not improve with medical management. The best course of action was to remove the toe involved which does not affect her balance or quality of life going forward. Her owners have been incredibly dedicated in bringing her in for regular bandage changes while she heals. Daisy continues to come in wagging her tail and loves getting cookies from us.
Kathryn Joan Haxby
Kathryn Joan Haxby (Kat) was literally born on Bowen (in the living room). She attended BICS, WVSS, and Capilano University. She received a bachelor of fine arts at UBC a few years ago, and now has a master of fine arts in creative writing from UBC. Her parents, siblings, niece, nephews, and family members are all very proud of her accomplishments. Congratulations, commendation, applause, salute, acclaim, cheers, admiration, compliments, kudos and bouquets!

Mia Sentlinger
Cheers to all the late watertaxi nights when the only thought in my head was “look normal”. To all the Cape nights where deer pass by my tent and I’m convinced it’s a four-legged monster. To all the co-ed soccer games where we scream and fight then get dinner after. To all the $7 bags of chips I’ve bought at the Gen while having $14 in the bank account. And to all the lukewarm drinks on the beach. Cheers Bowen, thank you for having me.
ADVERTISING FEATURE
Update from BC Ferries Horseshoe Bay Terminal Development Project Hello Community Members, We want to keep you up-to-date as we continue to move forward with our community engagement process for the future vision of the Horseshoe Bay terminal.
Project Update We just completed the third phase of the program where we heard from more than 1,500 people about what is important to them when they think about the future of the terminal at Horseshoe Bay. During this phase, we conducted four workshops in West Vancouver, the Sunshine Coast and on Bowen Island. We also ran an online
engagement platform from May 10 to May 31 so we could listen to a wider audience by expanding the reach of the program. The workshops and online engagement explored the design for the Horseshoe Bay terminal on the basis of three foundational aspects: • Community priorities (related to the future of the Horseshoe Bay terminal) • Design drivers (the functional list of needs for the terminal) • Visual profile (how the terminal should look and feel)
Engagement Themes Five major themes emerged as a result of your input (see below, left). The themes focused on efficiency, ensuring accessibility for all modes of transportation and minimizing the impact of our operations on the Village. We have put together a full report summarizing this phase with additional details, which you can find on the project webpage at bcferries.com/about/hsbvision. Next, the design team will review the input received from the community and use it, alongside business objectives,
to create design concepts. We will continue to provide updates and information about the design process as it progresses. We look forward to inviting the community to provide their feedback on design concepts later this fall. Please watch for future updates in your local paper as we continue to move forward with this project, or visit bcferries.com/about/hsbvision for more information. Thank you, Mark Wilson Vice President, Strategy & Community Engagement BC Ferries
Practical, cost-effective, and functional solutions
Safe and accessible travel for everyone and all modes of transportation
Integration of technology and information
A comfortable customer experience (e.g. food and shopping choices, comfortable waiting areas etc.)
Integrate the terminal with the Horseshoe Bay Village and surrounding environment

Marcella Moorcroft (1984-2018)
It is with great sadness that John, Lous and Tyra report the loss of their beloved daughter (sister to Tyra) Marcella, on June 9 2018. Marcella lived on Bowen Island from 1986 to 2002, was educated at the school and IPS, and made many friends on the island. She loved literature and writing, and after Bowen went on to study creative writing at UViC and UBC. Some of Marcella’s most treasured memories were of summers spent at Tunstall Bay beach with friends and her sister. She was happy there, and that’s where we will spread her ashes. Marcella was a loving, compassionate person who would always listen and help other people with their problems. Over the last few years her problems became more acute and she struggled with depression. She battled bravely against the blackness, but in the end could not fight anymore. She deserves to Rest In Peace, we will miss her terribly. There will be a Celebration of her Life at the Vancouver Aquarium (where she volunteered) on Sunday June 24 from 12.30 to 2.30. Enter via the Aquaquest entrance.
Union Steamship Marina Dinghy Dock: The Union Steamship Marina has found unmarked dinghy’s left by boaters on the dinghy dock. We ask everyone who may own one to please come to the USSC Chandlery on the docks and identify dinghy. Unless, there is already a USSC contract in place for the dinghy it must be removed from dinghy dock. Any dinghy left unclaimed or without a current year USSC sticker will be auctioned off on July 3, 2018.
