MusicFest puts on some finishing touches Vancouver Island MusicFest organizers are kicking into high gear in the final days leading up to the 17th anniversary of the festival and the big deadlines are fast approaching. Tomorrow is the last day for Early Bird Tickets for an incredible weekend of world class music right in the Comox Valley. And to keep things exciting, VIMF has also added some final
musical touches to the 2011 roster with the addition of Eccodek and Vonda Shepard. With three critically acclaimed albums, Canada’s Eccodek has become renowned as a leader in the world of global fusion and have become a potent and much sought-after voice on the global dub scene. With a 2009 Juno nomination and multiple Canadian Music Awards, their dubwise mix of
African, South Asian and Turkish sounds artfully layered over monster grooves, is a festival favourite. Eccodeks earthy blend of global beats, soaring melodies and textured electronica has positioned then as a significant voice on the global fusion stage. Their music echoes the ancient past while keeping a conscious, culturally inclusive eye to the future – furthering a global
dub journey that takes cultural authenticity over the cutting edge. Vonda Shepard’s career has ranged in scope from early hits in the late ’80s with “Don’t Cry Ilene”and “Can’t We Try” (with Dan Hill) to her work as an independent artist, and then as the voice of Ally McBeal, selling more than 12 million records throughout the span of the TV show.

between workouts. Overuse is one of the most common causes of wear and tear on joints, muscles and tendons; allowing them to recover will mean less discomfort and a longer life for all of your body’s joints. Finally, if you have knee or hip injury, get it treated properly. Damage from injuries
can result in arthritis and joint degeneration down the road. Doing the right exercises and stretches at the time of the injury to minimize its severity may help to prevent a joint replacement in the future. Ben Chatterson is a physiotherapist at

19 Wing gets commander’s thumbs up Upon his arrival at 19 Wing Comox earlier this month, the Chief of the Defence Staff, Gen. Walt Natynczyk, took the time from his busy schedule to recognize 19 Wing. During a townhall with approximately 200 members, Natynczyk presented 19 Wing commander Col. Michel Lalumière with a Canadian Forces Unit Commendation. 19 Wing received
the Canadian Forces Unit Commendation for its outstanding performance that contributed to the operational success of the 2010 Vancouver Olympic and Paralympic Games. The flawless security for the duration of Operation PODIUM was a massive undertaking, and 19 Wing’s exceptional contribution in this regard was paramount to the mission’s success.

Gen. Walt Natynczyk presents 19 Wing Comox with a Canadian Forces Unit Commendation. Photo submitted “This award is about recognizing the hard work done by the men and women of 19 Wing during the Olympics,” said Natynczyk. “This is my way of saying ‘thank you’ to each and every member of this team for what they did in the service of Canadians and to support those in need at home and abroad.” Two individual members were also
recognized and rewarded with a CDS Commendation. Master Cpl. Douglas Neufeld and Cpl. Richard Kennedy received the CDS Commendation for their accomplishments while deployed to Haiti from January to March 2010. As part of Canada’s inaugural deployment of an Urban Search and Rescue Team, Neufeld and Kennedy
faced the horrific reality of locating, extracting and removing the remains of those who perished in the devastating earthquake. Their resolve and dedication helped ease the suffering of families and portrayed the skill and compassion of the Canadian Forces amongst our international partners and the Haitian people.

Cheslakees’ bittersweet parting Elena Rardon Black Press PORT McNEILL — The atmosphere at Cheslakees Elementary School was bittersweet last week, as former students, parents and staff attended its final “open house” before the school becomes a kindergarten and early learning centre this fall. One of the former students visiting was Katie Addlington – soon to be a grade 11 student at North Island Secondary School. “It’s sad,” she said of the school’s closure. “Cheslakees was the best school in the world.” Cheslakees has offered classes from kindergarten through grade five, but due to shrinking budgets and enrolment, it can no longer be maintained as an elementary school.

Photos, donated by the school and parents, gave a glimpse into the life of Cheslakees students, while a slideshow ran in one corner of the gym. Students could

Former students, parents and staff then gathered in the library to put their favourite memories in a time capsule and put their thumbprints on a painting of a tree, creating “leaves” which they then signed. The illustration, created by
Lynda Biggs and her daughter, Jacquelyn, will remain at Cheslakees. In the library, old videocassettes played montages of activities during students’ trips to Camp Homewood, going back to 1987. The videos also included clips from Cheslakees’ “studentled assemblies.” Mary Addison, a secretary at the school, said the

assemblies “encouraged self-confidence and leadership.” “It was something Cheslakees was really well-known for,” she said. Jessica Petereit, who graduated from Cheslakees in 2000, stopped by with her friends to look at some old photos and put her thumbprint on the tree. When asked how it feels to be back, she laughed and said, “Everything’s tiny.” She then looked down at her old class photo. “I used to have so much fun here.”
