Mid-Isle Highlanders keep winning P. 11P. 8

The Wild Romantics are in for a wild rideLindsay ChungTHE CHRONICLE

The Wild Romantics are in for a wild ride after being named to the Top 12 in the province-wide Peak Performance Project. And Evan Miller and Aleisha Kalina are ready to take that ride together, armed with chemistry, passion, determina-tion and a soon-to-be-released EP of new music.

Miller and Kalina graduated from Ladysmith Secondary School four years apart. They may have missed each other in high school, but in 2012, they were both part of an im-prov alumni event, and they ended up performing on the same night.“I just found it really easy to sing

with him,” said Kalina.They started sharing songs to-

gether — something they had never done with anyone else — and did a show together. Miller says that one of the things that really worked from the beginning is they both had very open attitudes.

They went through some transfor-mations as a band for a while and then ended up taking a four-month hiatus when they got away from that original spark that people re-ally liked, which was just the two of them, singing together.“And then we were like, ‘wait, this

is what’s important. You and me are important,’” said Miller. “We just started back with that sort of mentality of knowing what was im-portant.”As their bio states, “Their voices

harmonize just as well as they do and tell a story of two young lovers finding comfort and solace from the cold in each other and in the gift of creating music. The Wild Romantics put immense value on being able to share their stories of love, life, loss

and learning by taking their own ex-periences and creating stories that audiences relate to personally and can take home with them.”

They opened for The Lion The Bear The Fox, a 2013 Peak Perfor-mance Project finalist band featur-ing Ladysmith’s Ryan McMahon, and things took off from there.“It was our first show after that break; we kind of just didn’t know what was going to happen,” said Miller. “We did it, and everyone was really excited about it, and that made us excited. Basically, that event was the step off.”

Through that show, The Wild Romantics connected with Cory Woodward from The Lion The Bear The Fox, and he is currently pro-ducing their debut EP.“I think we knew from the begin-ning, but what validated what we were feeling was them going ‘you have something special here’ and we’re like OK,” said Kalina.“They’re incredible to work with;

it’s nice to have that support some-times,” said Miller, adding it means a lot because the band is building a career in a way they admire, and they make similar honest music that they enjoy.

The Peak Performance Project, launched by 102.7 The Peak and administered by Music BC Industry Association, is designed to educate, promote, develop and launch the careers of some of B.C.’s and Al-berta’s up and coming artists. Hun-dreds of artists apply each year.

The Wild Romantics found out they’d made the Top 12 in B.C. in mid-June.

This year, 12 artists from B.C. will receive an intensive, one-week training program in music busi-ness, live performance, songwriting, Kathi Hooney of Ladysmith samples some of the unique recycled crafts available Saturday, July 5 during

Where are the 1964 scholarship winners now?NewsChronicle

Ed NicholsonTHE CHRONICLE

The photograph accompany-ing this article features seven local students who all received scholarships for academic achievement at their gradua-tion in June 1964.

Fifty years have now passed, and I was curious as to how their lives and careers had pro-gressed since that significant rite of passage.

With the help of both the “print and people” resources of the Ladysmith Historical Archives, I was fortunate to lo-cate all seven of the graduates and interview them by tele-phone or email.

Here are their stories.The tallest girl in the picture

is Marie Scott, who received the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Ladies Auxiliary Scholarship.

Marie was a popular student at LSS and thrived on the close but respectful relationship that existed between students and staff.

In the 1964 edition of the Spion Kop, Ladysmith Second-ary School’s annual yearbook, the caption accompanying her school graduation picture stat-ed that Marie “could usually be found in the center of a group of chattering girls.” When asked, Marie did not challenge this description, but reminded the writer that she also attend-ed class regularly and complet-ed all her homework.

Following high school grad-uation, Marie attended St. Anne’s Secretarial College in Nanaimo. After receiving her business certificate, she went to work for Ladysmith Town Hall under the management of Jim Runciman. A short time later, she met a

young RCMP Constable, Ken Rehman, who was “fresh from the depot in Regina.” After they married in 1967, Marie followed Ken’s career postings from Kelowna to Prince Ru-pert and finally Victoria, where he retired in 1989. They pres-ently reside in Langford.

Marie raised three children and now has four grandchil-dren. She considers her “buck-et list” to be “pretty full — at least for the moment!”

The closing comment in the Spion Kop yearbook pro-claimed, “Marie’s main ambi-tion after graduation is to work for a while and then become an ideal housewife.” When I asked her to comment on this prediction, Marie laughed and said, “That’s pretty accurate!”

Standing next to Marie in the 1964 photo is Vivian Battie, one of the well-known Ladysmith

“Battie girls,” who lived with their parents at 209 White St.

Like most children growing up in B.C. during the 1950s,

Vivian had an active but safe childhood, attending school in town surrounded by a close set of friends. Viv’s teen years were filled with school and lo-cal dances, picnics on Kuper Is-land, Teen Town, Friday night roller skating and hanging out at the Hub Café or the Wigwam.

Shortly after graduation, Viv-ian met Colin Cameron from Nanaimo while working at De Clark’s Dairy. After a year at the dairy, they married and Viv began work with Nanaimo’s Social Welfare department. Af-ter five years, Viv left the work force to be with her two young children.

One day, she received a sur-prise gift from Colin. It was a new organ from Florence Ferguson’s music store in Nanaimo and included a free lesson. That gift resulted in a 25-year career in the music business. Viv gave lessons at Ferguson’s Harbour Park store in addition to selling pianos, organs and other musical in-struments.

Music had always been an important part of Vivian’s life, which she credits to her moth-er, Margaret’s influence.“My mother,” she told me, “was a natural musician and could play the melody of any song on the piano by ear. She was the original inventor of ‘Name that Tune.’ We would all sit on the chesterfield while she played a mystery piece note by note. The first one to guess the name of the song would get points. First prize was 25 cents, down to 10 cents for fourth. I won most of the time!”

Vivian studied piano at St

Mary’s Convent and completed Grade Five in the Royal Con-servatory of Music. However, she learned to play popular music by herself.

Vivian and Colin live in Ce-dar in one of the transplanted homes from the Diamond, which they purchased in 1965. The location is a good family compromise between Ladysmith and Nanaimo. Next year, the couple will celebrate their Golden Wedding Anni-versary, but Vivian still has

“things to try. Actually, I’ve never flown in an airplane, and coming up soon is a family trip to California with my daugh-ter Laura and granddaughter Mackenzie, who is dancing in the Disneyland Parade. After that, who knows?”

Lynne (Doherty) Hutton’s yearbook prediction was “to become a stewardess on an ocean liner.” Instead, she be-came the first member of her family to attend university.Although she did not com-

plete her degree, Lynne did dis-cover “an affinity for numbers.” After an early start as an op-erator with BC Telephone, she became an administrator in their payroll department. She retired from the same com-pany in 1996 after 32 years of service.

Her husband, Wes, whom she had met while he was in the military, asked her to marry him in 1967. Wes completed a 35-year career with BC Transit, and they retired to Nanaimo in 2001.Although Lynne never experi-

enced the role of air or cruise line hostess in her career, trav-

el remains one of her favourite pastimes. Another big part of their life is fishing — together, with friends or with family.

Looking back over her school and home life in Ladysmith, Lynne felt it was an ideal place to grow up. She has remained friends with schoolmates like Sandra (Simila) Virtanen and Joan (Gust) McKinley for more than 60 years, and “I like them now for the same reasons I liked then when we were grow-ing up. You can always count on them.”

The fourth graduating stu-dent in the back row of the photo is Joan Gust. Joan was from the Diamond, beginning school there as a student in Taimi Hindmarch’s kindergar-ten class.After graduating from

Ladysmith Secondary, Joan discovered that she was too young to enter nurses training, so she enrolled in Grade 13 in Nanaimo.

Finally, in January 1966, she started her training at Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria. Af-ter obtaining her degree, Joan worked at Nanaimo General Hospital for 20 years.

In 1983, she married a young man from the Diamond, Joe McKinley, whose grandfather James first moved to the area in the late 1890s after seeking his fortune in the Klondike gold rush.

Joe, who was Ladysmith first Queen’s Scout, first worked at the Ladysmith sawmill fol-lowed by a busy and produc-tive career of 40 years as a longshoreman. Both are still actively involved in the com-

munity life of Diamond.I asked Joan about her

favourite memories from school. She mentioned being editor of the Spion Kop year-book in Grade 11 and president of the Student’s Council in her graduating year. She then concluded, “Those were good times … happy days. We re-ally got along so well. Even in Grade 12 when we were divid-ed into three classes, we were still all friends. I used to cut the girls’ hair in high school, setting and styling it for danc-es and other special occasions. [Laughing] I will probably be remembered most for that — cutting hair.”

Sitting in the middle of the front row in the picture is Mar-garet (Jackson) Green.

Like Vivian, Margaret grew up in a home filled with music. She was one of six children born to Stephen and Olive Jackson. Her parents were both music teachers, and an appreciation of literature and the fine arts was a key compo-nent of their upbringing.

Margaret thrived in school, and her yearbook confidently predicted that “someday Mar-garet will return home as the great teacher we know she’ll be.”A school highlight for Marga-

ret was being selected as an al-ternate for the combined Lady-smith-Chemainus team for the quiz show Reach for the Top, which reached the Canadian finals in 1963. She also played a Chopin piano solo (”or was it Schubert?”) at her graduation ceremony. Margaret then left Ladysmith to begin her studies at UBC.

Frank Green, one of the Chemainus Reach for the Top team members was a stu-dent in mathematics at the same university. The relation-ship that had begun in prepara-tory sessions for the quiz show ended up in marriage. Then came two children, followed by a move to Alberta. By this time, however, Margaret had decided that she wanted to do something more in life than teach Canadian schoolchildren. Consequently, they packed up their children and accepted a CUSO position in Nigeria.As Margaret explained in the

interview, “Frank and I had be-come very interested in issues of social justice. While raising our four sons, we became very aware of global issues regard-ing poverty, refugees, and ba-sic human rights. I had always wanted to travel, and working for an NG0 provided the op-portunity to become directly involved with these concerns.”After a number of years work-

ing in Third World countries, they returned to Canada and became involved with many of

See Six Page 4


the same issues in Vancou-ver’s East End community.

Frank and Margaret Green are now retired and living on Vancouver Island at Fanny Bay. I asked Margaret if she felt that she had lived up to the expectations expressed in her high school annual. Her reply: “I think I took my desire to teach out of the classroom and into the world. The experiences in Africa gave me the community skills to work successfully with the marginalized in Vancouver. I learned to be flexible and to listen closely to what mem-bers of the community were trying to say. It was not really teaching but rather a sharing of solutions based upon real life experience.”

We now come to the first of the young men in the schol-arship group. Michael Petrak was valedictorian for the 1964 graduating class. He has fond memories of his school years.“I received an excellent edu-cation, and more importantly, I received the education I needed. All of my teachers in high school were both diligent and dedicated. If you needed help, it was there for you.”

Michael was the son of the high school principal, John Petrak, a highly respected man both at work and in the Ladysmith community. Con-sequently, everyone expected that Mike would follow in his brother’s footsteps and enter university. But Michael had other plans. Beginning as a log sorter in the Chemainus mill, he worked his way up the McMillan Bloedel ladder and ended his long and suc-cessful career with this same company as an office man-ager in 1993.Although his career took

him to a number of coastal lumber towns Michael, now lives in Ladysmith in a home he had previously bought and sold.As many of my readers are

no doubt aware, Mike is a quiet and modest man. Dur-

ing the interview, he pre-ferred to talk about his lovely and talented wife Leona (Re-ist), who is well known as a teacher and artist in our com-munity. He is equally proud of his two children, Aisha and Lucas.

In his life, he has tried to live up to his father’s expec-tations as a parent, a hus-band and a productive mem-ber of his community. “I was very proud of my dad, and I worked hard to make him proud of me.”

Finally, we come to Dennis

Matson. Dennis is presently in Helsinki, Finland, on holi-days but he was kind enough to respond to my questions by e-mail.After graduation, Dennis

completed a degree in Ap-plied Science in Chemical Engineering at UBC. He worked in the pulp and pa-per industry in Dryden, Ont., and Prince George, B.C. This included working as a design engineer to help create the largest mill of its kind in the world at that time.

As an operating manager and research engineer, much of his long and varied career focused on reducing his in-dustry’s impact on the envi-ronment.

In 1969, he married Helen, a Registered Nurse. Together, they have raised two daugh-

ters and now have five grand-sons in his retirement com-munity of Prince George.

Sadly, he has lost touch with many of the members of his graduation class, but he has fond memories of his years in Ladysmith and holidays at

“the Gap.” His school memories in-

clude being the score and timekeeper at school basket-ball games with Mike Petrak.

“This allowed me to travel with the players. I loved sports but couldn’t make the team.”

I asked each of the seven in-terviewees if any of their high school teachers had played an important part in their lives and careers.

Dennis mentioned John Gourlay, “who sparked my in-terest in chemistry by show-ing me the importance it played in our everyday lives.” Although his subject matter

(Latin) may not have been the most interesting or rel-evant course they studied at Ladysmith Secondary, five of the seven graduates from 1964 specifically mentioned Bert Morgan as their most inspiring teacher. Joe Gen-try, Harold Rourke, Emile deKoninck, Ruth Dickson and Marie Harrison were also mentioned.

In an era when “urban flight” is an accepted part of life, it is interesting to note that six of the seven former students interviewed have all remained or returned to Vancouver Island in their re-tirement, despite traveling and/or working in communi-ties all around the globe. Co-incidence? I think not. It’s a big, exciting world out there, but to Vancouver Islanders, there’s no place like home.

When we consider art classes, most people would

think of a cluttered room full of colour-splattered ta-bles, cans of paint brushes, and a paint-speckled floor.

One doesn’t initially think of art classes as an online possibility. But this learning method is gaining acceptability and offers an immense variety and is easily accessible.

With a few words on You-Tube, you can gain access to almost any kind of art tutorial you can imagine. Think of it and it is likely to be there. The lessons are free, and you can add them into your schedule at any time you want.

You can even multi-task: grab your morning tea or coffee, start work on whatever project you ex-pected to do (whether at work, working at home, or simply checking your e-mails). You can run the lesson in the background and gain knowledge on a

new technique that you’ve been considering.

There are ample tempta-tions: multi-media, draw-ing, altered books, sew-ing or knitting classes, art journaling, photography and so many more that it’s impossible to mention.

Do you want to learn to make a knitted owl? It’s there. Paint a rock or shell; it’s there too. Online art classes are such an ac-cessible way to spark your creative energy and begin a process of exploration.

Consider this as a chal-lenge anyone out there to do one lesson a day for a month — this would in-crease your fun factor and knowledge immediately. You could jump start your creative endeavours.

Many people deny their creativity, but we are all creative in some way. There is research out there that suggests if one is de-nying their creativity, that it can result in weight gain and obesity, addiction, de-pression, and other health issues. For well-being, it is important to unleash your creative potential.

Take advantage of all that you can be and do in this go at life.

YOUR WORDS“I like them now for the same reasons I liked them when we were growing up.”

The RCMP Victim Services Pro-gram has been serving the commu-nity of Ladysmith since 1989.

Our police-based Victim Services co-ordinator is tremendously dedi-cated and puts her heart and soul into the program, providing exem-plary services to Ladysmith, Elector-al Areas G and H, as well as a portion of the Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN), and the First Nation commu-nities in this area.

Contrary to what people may have heard, we did not experience fi-nancial cutbacks from the Town of Ladysmith Grants-in-Aid program this year. This year’s funding is con-sistent with previous years and is very much appreciated by the Re-sources Centre.

The Ladysmith Resources Centre Association (LRCA) holds and ad-ministers the Provincial contract for the Ladysmith police-based Victim Services Program.

Through the BC Ministry of Justice, under the terms of the contract, there are established funding obligations around cost-sharing for the delivery of the program. Our Victim Services Program falls short of those expec-

tations. In order to address this is-sue, we have requested support from Areas G and H, the Cowichan Valley Regional District, and the Penelakut and Stz’uminus First Nations.

We will continue providing our cur-rent level of service at this time, but increased demands are making this difficult. We may have to restructure our service delivery if additional funding is not secured, and this may impact the 24-hour on-call service, as well as some ongoing court sup-port service.

We will continue working on fund-ing opportunities to determine how we can achieve ongoing stability for the LRCA police-based Victim Ser-vices.

Pet owners warned of recent attacks on cats

Editor:

In the past few months, there have been three separate attacks on cats in the area of the cul-de-sac at the south end of Fourth Avenue Exten-sion.

Two of the cats have died, including ours, which was killed on July 1.

Witnesses report that in two cases, the attacker has been a medium to

large size dog, possibly a pit bull, dark brown in colour, and wearing a dark collar.

To pet owners in that area — be aware that this animal is on the loose.

To the dog owner — learn to con-trol your animal.

“Shoot to Kill” a poor choice of name

Editor: I was dismayed when I read about

the Ladysmith Secondary School grad class’s “Shoot to Kill” event. The very name is offensive and insensitive in light of the numerous deadly assaults which have taken the lives of school-children and teachers over the past years in Canada and other countries.

Granted, this event invokes “water guns;” however, language is powerful and needs to be respected for its abil-ity to emote responses both positive and negative.

As a past teacher and administra-tor in Saskatchewan for 30 years, I always believed it was the responsi-bility of teachers and administrators to monitor and at times temper the in-nocent and enthusiastic ideas of our youth, who do not have the maturity to think through the ramifications of school-related activities.

A small brush fire northwest of Ladysmith on July 1 is a reminder to be cautious when it’s so dry out.

Ladysmith Fire/Rescue crews were called out about 3 p.m. Tuesday, July 1 when smoke was seen behind Ladysmith. It turned out the brush fire was north west of town and outside of Ladysmith Fire/Rescue’s jurisdiction and was on Timber-West lands, but the fire department has a mutual aid agree-ment with BC Forest Service where the Ladysmith firefight-ers can go in when needed, explained Ladysmith Fire/Res-cue Chief Ray Del-court.“We found a fairly large fire in the tim-berline,” he said. “We moved our crews in with our hose lines and started extin-guishing the fire.”

Resources were

also brought in from the North Oyster Fire Department, BC Forest Service and TimberWest.

BC Forest Service also brought in a he-licopter to dump wa-ter on the areas the firefighters couldn’t reach, explained Delcourt, noting the helicopter dropped about 20 loads of water.

When the fire was controlled enough, BC Forest Ser-vice relieved the Ladysmith firefight-ers and made sure there were no hot spots.

Delcourt says this fire serves as a re-minder to be careful outside during these hot days.“I don’t think peo-ple realize how dry it is out there,” he said. “We’re not get-ting much rain, so definitely watch out what you’re doing in forested areas and with campfires and smoking in these ar-eas. There’s so much access to these areas by quads and what-

ever that if they’re not careful, these things can happen.”

Ladysmith firefight-ers spent about five hours at the scene, and then BC Forest Service and Timber-West crews did the

mop up work.“It was at the hot-test part of the day, and there was defi-nitely the potential to get a lot bigger quicker,” said Del-court. “We were lucky we were able

to get to it quickly. When these kinds of fires are that close to our town, that really makes us aware. “Luckily when we had the fire, the wind was moving away from town.”

Lindsay ChungTHE CHRONICLE

This Saturday, a new day-long festival in Chemainus will bring the rockin’ sights and sounds of the 1950s to Waterwheel Park.

The Chemainus Val-ley Cultural Arts Soci-ety (CVCAS) presents the first Chemainus Rockabilly Rumble Saturday, July 12 from noon to 8 p.m. at Wa-terwheel Park.

Performers include Hank Angel, Slim Sandy, Sweet Potato Brown, Hell Katz, and Tropic Mayhem. There will also be a display of vintage cars in the Waterwheel Park park-ing lot throughout the day.

Victoria-based Hank Angel has been writing songs and performing for more than 30 years, after starting out as a busker on the streets

of Edmonton. Slim Sandy, who

lives in Victoria, plays a combination of his own compositions and rockabilly or country blues songs from the late 1940s and early 1960s. He has played drums for Sun Records legend Billy Lee Riley,

and he was the origi-nal drummer for Ray Condo from 1985 to 1994. He has been the lead singer and rhythm guitars with the Crazy Rhythm Daddies since 1988.

Sweet Potato Brown is Shelley Brown’s lat-est band, playing ori-

ental music and covers in the alt-country vein.

Hell Katz is a Duncan-based rockabilly band, and Tropic Mayhem is a surf and beach band.

The festival was born when members of Hell Katz wanted to have a rockabilly festival and approached the

CVCAS about using Waterwheel Park, ex-plained CVCAS presi-dent Bob Johns. The society said it would see what it could do about organizing the festival, and now, the event is just days away.“It’s brand-new this

year,” said Johns. “The rockabilly community is promoting it quite well, and we’re ex-pecting quite a good turnout for it. It will be kind of a Happy Days, 1950s thing, and I’m sure a lot of people will be in the mood and will dress 1950s style. The music was the very first rock ‘n’ roll that came out, and I think people will re-ally enjoy it.”Admission is by do-

nation, with $15 being suggested.

For more informa-tion, visit www.che-mainusrockabilly.com.“It’s supposed to be a

fun day,” said Johns.

Rockabilly Rumble debuts Saturday

marketing and pro-motion. Artists will benefit from mentor-ships from some of the music industry’s top professionals and per-formers. The top three artists will take home prizes of $50,000, $75,000 or $102,700.

Kalina describes get-ting into the competi-tion as “the best feel-ing in the world.”“An honour seems

like a weird word, but it is,” adds Miller. “We listen to this radio sta-tion all the time, and it’s all music we like and musicians we re-spect, so to be chosen by people who like that sort of music, you feel really good about what you’re doing.”

Although they want to place and win mon-ey so they can do more with their music, both Miller and Kalina feel they’ve already won by being chosen, and they see the Peak Per-formance Project as a great stepping stone.“I’m excited that even

if we ‘lose’, they’ve given us all the tools to succeed if we choose to work hard, and that’s one thing I believe Evan and I do and will do — I don’t

think we know how to be lazy with the things we’re passion-ate about,” said Kalina.

“If you give us the tools, we will build some-thing with it, whatever that may be.”

The Wild Romantics are currently working on an EP with Wood-ward, and they expect to release the album by the end of August.“We couldn’t ask for

anything better for our first time recording,” said Miller.

Both Kalina and Mill-er feel like the timing is right for The Wild Romantics.“We don’t ever want

to do something half-ass, ever,” said Kalina.

“I’ve been a singer-songwriter since I was 16, Evan since he was 17 or something. I’m 25; that’s almost 10

years, and my whole life, someone’s been like ‘why don’t you have an EP, why don’t you have this.’ It wasn’t time, I didn’t have the right money to do it, and I don’t even think I had the right person-ality to stand up for what I wanted. That’s why this has been just such an organic expe-rience.”“Yeah, nothing has been forced,” agreed Miller.

Miller describes this moment in time as they get busy with the Peak Performance Project and as they get set to release their EP as exciting and over-whelming. “You get picked for something like this and you basically want to prove that you deserve to be there,”

he said.Meanwhile, Kalina

doesn’t feel over-whelmed; she is more than ready to face the next step.“You know how you

blow out a candle or you get an eyelash or you see the first star and make a wish? I’ve never changed my wish since I was 14, and every single wish I have made on any thing has been this,” she said. “All my energy is fired up and focused, and I’m like ‘bring it on.’ I’m super competitive, and I love teamwork and I love creating things, so for me, this is just like the best. This is the stuff I live for.”

The Wild Roman-tics will be playing the Khatsahlano Fes-tival with the Peak Performance Project Saturday, July 12 in Vancouver. Locally, they will be playing a house concert Friday, July 25 at 7:30 p.m. at 11221 Chemainus Rd. with Kerry Ryan and The Hooper Brothers. Tickets are $15 for adults or $10 for youth and seniors, and they can be reserved by calling or texting 250-619-2620.

Lindsay Chungthe chronicle

Singer-songwriter Russ Rosen of Vancou-ver has played music everywhere from Afri-can stadiums to Cana-dian East Coast pubs and from Olympic stag-es to Parisian cafés.

Over the last 27 years, he has played in na-tions as far-flung as Greece, France, Rwan-da, southeast Asia, Is-rael and Germany, and in every corner of Can-ada. Rosen describes himself as someone who plays “music with mission, whether it is to bring hope to the survivors of the Rwan-dan genocide or to in-spire a crowd of young people or to sing peace over the warring land-scape of the Middle East or to erupt cel-ebration on the streets of his own city for hun-dreds of thousands of onlookers.”

Rosen’s musical mis-sion will bring him to Ladysmith this Sunday night (July 13) to per-form in the Concerts in the Park series at Transfer Beach.

Rosen performs origi-nal music, sometimes mixing in some Cana-diana or folk covers. He says he sings a lot of songs about Cana-dian history, and he describes his music as Canadiana/folk/rock/gospel, which is still kind of bluesy and a bit funky. He can draw an audience to a compel-ling story of history or faith one minute and stir a crowd in to a par-

tying frenzy the next. His vocal performance has been compared to Dave Matthews or Bruce Springsteen.

Rosen says he hopes that when he puts his voice out there in the world, he hopes it helps people and brings some reflection and hope.“It feels like the story

I’m trying to tell is very helpful,” he said.

Rosen started taking piano lessons when he was four, but he got kicked out when he was seven because he wouldn’t practise. He then started taking drum lessons when he was 10 and loved it. Rosen played in bands as he was growing up, and he was even in a band with Michael J. Fox when he was younger.“We rocked the Grade

7 talent show,” he laughed.

Rosen used to be in-volved in a youth men-torship program con-nected to Keats Camp that had a lot of music to it, and he says that was a big move into making music full-time.“Our music has al-

ways been that thing that has been commu-nity-minded,” he said.

“The goal hasn’t been to become rock-star fa-mous, but ‘how do we connect with people.’ We’ve ended up find-ing that our groove has been mostly doing community celebra-tions.”

The Russ Rosen Band has played music around the world.

One of the places they have performed is Rwanda. Rosen had been travelling across Canada in a mobile

theatre, putting Gospel stories and music to-gether, and, as Rosen says, “taking them out of the church and into the street.”

Rosen ended up writ-ing songs in French and in English for the March For Jesus, in which churches sing songs in the street together. People in Rwanda found out what Rosen was doing and asked him to do something similar in their country to help with reconciliation ef-forts. Seven years af-ter the 1994 genocide, Rosen and 40 Canadi-ans travelled to Rwan-da to sing songs with the Hutus and Tutsis.“We went there to cry

with them and sing songs with them,” said Rosen. “The point was to grieve with those who needed to grieve. That was a very pow-erful experience for us. It was kind of rooted in the church world, that’s how it came about, but it was far bigger than that.”

Rosen says that being able to impact people through experiences like this make all the hard work of trying to make a living as a mu-sician worth it.“As a musician who’s

just sort of a work-ing musician, you get days when I just can’t do it anymore and you think it’s too hard,” he said. “Then you have these moments, like Canada Day when you have 100,000 people dancing and singing with you, and you dis-

appear — you have served a greater pur-pose of creating op-portunities for people to dance and celebrate. All of a sudden, you’ve done something where you’ve created an envi-ronment that lifts peo-ple’s spirits to a much higher place. I get quite charged up by those experiences.”

Along with lead vo-cals, Rosen plays acoustic and electric guitars and harmoni-ca. He often performs with Brett Ziegler, who plays more than 30 instruments, drum-mer Chad Bjorgan and bassist Jonathan Per-kins.

The Russ Rosen Band performs Sunday, July 13 from 6-8 p.m. at the Transfer Beach Amphi-theatre in Ladysmith, weather permitting.

Admission is by do-nation, and the mon-ey raised helps the Ladysmith Resources Centre Association provide programs free of charge to families in the Ladysmith area.

Sun shines on 30th Shuf� eDon BodgerTHE CHRONICLE

A burst of sunlight hit the assembled racers just as the 30th anniversary running of the Chemainus Twilight Shuffle was about to start Tues-day, June 24 at 7 p.m.

It was almost like a shining tribute to an event that’s graced the streets of down-town Chemainus for so many years, go-ing from a four-mile event to a more con-ventional three-mile race in recent years.

The Shuffle’s had its ups and downs and times when or-ganizer Phil Nicholls wondered whether it might continue, espe-cially after last year’s horrendous condi-tions when the turn-out dipped to barely 150.

But the anniver-sary helped the race rebound to 235 reg-istered runners and walkers and provided Nicholls some opti-

mism that it’s on the rebound.“It really had dropped

off,’’ he said. “That part (the increase) is great to see.’’

Nicholls has toyed with the idea of mak-ing many changes.“I did do it a little lat-

er this year,’’ he said.Otherwise, it’s dif-

ficult to find a week-

end in the spring and summer that might not conflict with oth-er events and bring a better turnout.

The evening as-pect remains its unique attribute and could generate re-newed interest with younger athletes like Ladysmith track-and-field phenom Haleigh

Lloyd just discovering it.“A lot of people had heard of it and a lot hadn’t,’’ conceded Nicholls.

The relatively short distance of the race lends itself to some fast times, and Bruce Deacon was the quickest of the 213 finishers in a sizzling

16:13.Jill Ramstead was

the first female fin-isher in 19:10.

We even had a friendly family race going, as I returned to run the event for the first time in many years.

Five of my other family members left me in the dust — sis-ter Linda Bevan fin-ishing in 23:32, and the rest of the Bodger clan, brother Dave clocked in 24:46, sis-ter-in-law Tracey in 24:58, and brother Doug and niece Ra-chel coming in to-gether in 26:37.

Highlanders earn sixth straight victoryGreg SakakiTHE CHRONICLE

The Mid-Isle FC High-landers can control the way their soccer sea-son goes.

The Pacific Coast Soc-cer League reserve side, representing Nanaimo and Ladysmith, won again at the end of June and has now won six straight.“We’ve had a great

start,” said Daragh Fitzgerald, Highland-ers player. “We’re get-ting towards our peak at the right time.”

Mid-Isle shut out Chilliwack FC by a 3-0 score June 28 at Nanai-mo’s Merle Logan Field. The game was 1-0 at half, too close for the coaches’ comfort.“We had the play, but

we weren’t finishing those opportunities and you never know,”

said Bill Merriman, the team’s coach.

Chilliwack is a physi-cal opponent that Mid-Isle needed to figure out as the match pro-gressed.“Because they are a

big, strong team, in the air we basically had no chance…” said Merriman. “Our big-gest thing was we were playing the ball on the ground and getting through them.”

Dan Cato, Renan Re-belatto and Russell Lederer scored, Jor-dan De Graaf assisted on all three goals and Scott Brown posted the shutout.

Mid-Isle’s record gives the side some breathing room in the table, but the players can’t let up. Four of their last five are on the road, including two against a good Victoria

Highlanders team and back-to-back games in the Interior to close out the schedule.“It’s basically up to us,”

Merriman said. “It’s go-ing to come down to that, whether we trip

up or whether we keep on the roll we’re on.”

Fitzgerald said even with the team’s first-place record, guys are committed to practice and are training hard.“Nobody wants to

spend the whole sum-mer training two nights a week and playing every weekend and throw it away just out of complacency in the last couple of weeks,” he said.

Mid-Isle FC Highlanders player Jeff Travis, left, controls the ball as Upper Island Storm U17 opponent Callum Richardson looks to make a play during a friendly match June 29 at Nanaimo’s Merle Logan Field. GREG SAKAKI

Mary O’Shea100 Years of Faith, Hope & Charity

Muriel Edith (Mary) O’Shea slipped away peacefully at noon on June 29, 2014 at the Chemainus Health Care Centre, surrounded by family. She would have turned 100 on November 13.

Mary was born in Raynes Park, England and married Cyril (Cy) O’Shea in 1938. They brought the family to Canada in 1957. She and Cy raised their 6 children in Chemainus and

became members of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church. Mary was a member of the Catholic Women’s League and believed in ‘practising what she preached’ by doing volunteer work in the community that involved visiting the sick and elderly, teaching children to read, and doing Hospice work.

One of her great loves was singing, and she was a member of the Chemainus Seniors Centre Choir for many years. She decided to branch out in her sixties and learned to drive, swim, type and play the guitar. She made her debut at the Dancing Bean in Chemainus when she was 92. When the house band said ‘one more time’ she played her whole repertoire again.

Mary and Cy moved to New Denver, BC after the children were grown and Mary continued her charity work and singing there. Cy passed away in 1989. They were always good friends with Grace and Lou Shelling, and Betty and Paul Viala.

She is survived by her children: Jeanne, Mike, Terry, Phil, Kathleen and Marie and their spouses. Mary was enormously proud of her numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She even lived long enough to have 2 great-great-grandchildren.

She leaves her friends Grace Shelling, Paul Viala, Alice Bazoin and Gladys Steven.

The family would like to thank Dr. Manhas, her friends and the staff at The Steeples Assisted Living, the staff at Cowichan District Hospital, Cairnsmore Place and the Chemainus Health Care Centre for allowing Mary to live her fi nal years with dignity.

There was a funeral mass at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Chemainus at 1 pm on Saturday July 5, a reception followed at St. Joseph’s School Hall. It was Mary’s wish that there be no fl owers. If you wish, please make a donation to the church or to Amnesty International.

Parks, Charles Athol June 23, 1919 – June 24, 2014

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our father Charlie. Born in Craik Saskatchewan in 1919 he was predeceased by his parents Charles and Florence Parks, sister Lucy and son Bobby. Survived by his sons Russell (Valarie) and Scott, stepsons Jackson (Anne), and Raymond (Kelly), daughter Grace, stepdaughters Susan and Margo, and daughter-in-law Maria, 12 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren.

As a young man Charlie was a bugler in the Regina Rifle Regiment 2nd Battalion. He was employed in the parts warehouse at General Motors in Regina until 1951 when he was transferred to Vancouver, in December of 1956 he and the children were moved to Kitimat to open the new dealership there. In the spring of 1958 he was transferred to Port Alberni to set up their Parts Department at the GM Dealership. Rather than be transferred again he took employment with MacMillan Bloedel Pulp and Paper in their parts/first aid department where he remained until his retirement.

Port Alberni was good to him and his family, he spent many happy hours golfing at the Alberni Valley Golf Club and curling at the rink. Charlie particularly enjoyed his time living on Taylor Arm Sproat Lake, fishing with the boys, the occasional hunting trip on the Beaufort Range and the famous fishing trips at Prince Rupert. He enjoyed people and had many good friends, he loved going out to dinner at his favourite haunts he will be missed by many.

The family wishes to thank La Rosa Gardens for treating Charlie like a loved family member and the special kindness given him by Home Support which allowed him to remain in his apartment as long as possible.

He celebrated his 95 birthday at the Cowichan District Hospital in Duncan and we would like thank them also for their excellent care. Charlie had requested no service. Donations in memory of Charlie may be made to the Cancer Society.

Stu TaylorMarch 26, 1937 - May 22, 2014

“Good people are remembered long after they are gone.”Proverbs 10:7

Awesome loving husband, dad, grandpa, brother, father-in-law and our best friend.

Our hearts are aching, we are so sad, but down deep in our hearts you are still with us.

So loved, respected and cherished. Always and forever.

Stu was a great dad to his sons. He had a special love and great bond as dad and friend to Butch, Steve, Mike, Corey and Ken. He sure loved and respected them and loved being with them. They bonded as men in a real special loving way.

He had a tender heart for his family, and friends too. He really cared about people and was a really good listener and was so helpful to us and others. Such a wonderful trait to have and he had it. That was Stu.

We planted a wonderful Garry Oak in loving remembrance of our dad and grandpa. We shall all watch it grow strong and sturdy just like Stu was right to the end.

Bye for now dear Stu. Love you forever. Miss you so much. Just want to hug you and pat your hand once again.

Someday Stu, you and I will be together again just as God promised. Faithful, caring, loving God. See you on the mountain top, in the sunshine.

Love forever from your sons, grand kids, daughters-in-law, sister Sandra, and me, Margaret and also from your friends who loved you in a special way.

Thanks for all the wonderful, good years and the love and care and respect and such good memories that will always last forever. You were such a wonderful blessing to me as my husband and my best friend. Love you dearly forever.

Remembering your love and trust in The Lord that we both share.

“Lord, if it is you, bid me come to you over the water.” And he said, “come”.

Matthew 14:28-29

We shall love you forever, deep in our heart.

Safety Tip:With summer in full swing, remember that if your activities will involve alcohol, make the smart choice: choose a designated driver before going out and plan to get home safe. Share the responsibility of being

a designated driver; have you taken a turn recently?

Question of the WeekThere is talk in Greater Vancouver of introducing a regional carbon tax to fund transit and highway initiatives. Should such a tax be extended B.C.-wide to help fund much needed transport infrastructure throughout the rest of the province?

Radically new Cherokee returns after 20 yearsJeep has been one of the strongest brands for the Chrysler Group, thanks to the fantastic Grand Cherokee mid-sized SUV and the always-popular Wrangler. Building off that success is the introduction of an all-new Cherokee. It has been almost twenty years since we had a Cherokee in the market and this one is radically different from anything one might remember. Since the Chrysler group didn’t have a small SUV in its portfolio to take on established players like the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V and Ford Escape, this 2014 Cherokee has a lot riding on its successLooksUnlike the last 1990s Cherokee, this radically different Jeep is based on a car platform instead of a rugged truck chassis. This approach is lighter, to save fuel, and rewards the driver with good on-road manners. Built off the same Alfa Romeo-derived platform

that the Dodge Dart uses, the styling is edgy and modern. The sharp nose and small headlamps, along with the curved Jeep grille make a statement. Some Jeep aficionados might not be intrigued by this new design but newcomers to the brand might. The starting price is $23,495, which is less than it’s major com-petitors. For this price, you get standard air conditioning, Bluetooth connectivity, two USB ports, a 5-inch Uconnect screen and power win-dows/doors. The AWD

model starts at $25,695, which is also the lowest price model in this class. The closest competitor, on price, image and capability might be the Subaru Forester for $25,995.InsideThe interior of the all-new Cherokee is more upscale than most of the compet-itors. The doors, armrest and dash are covered in soft touch materials. The front

seats are supportive and comfortable. The rear seats too are comfy and slide for and aft for more cargo storage. When placed in the normal position, the legroom isn’t ample but on par with others in this class. Connecting to the Cherokee is a snap with the optional 8.4-inch Uconnect system that pairs with smartphone in seconds, is very quick between commands, and has nice looking graphics. The base screen is five inches but has many of the same functionality. Behind the steering wheel, inside the instrument cluster, is another programmable screen for all the infor-mation the driver needs frequently.DriveThe base 2.4L 4-cylinder with 184hp is the base engine on all trim levels. For just $1,300 any Cherokee can be equipped with the optional 3.2L V6 en-gine – making the walk up to this 271hp engine within reach for many buyers. In addition, this is the very first application of a 9-speed automatic anywhere in the auto industry, providing improved fuel economy and drivability. Having a chance to drive both the 4-cylinder and V6 models with the all-new 9-speed automatic, I’m torn. The V6 is the engine of choice for towing, steep mountain

runs and longer distance driving. The flip side is that the 4-cylinder is a very good in-city commuter and the lighter engine helps this Cherokee to corner, brake and manouevre better. The 9-speed automat-ic shifts quickly and smoothly, in fact I forgot it had so many cogs but it does improve fuel economy with a highway rating of 6.4L/100km with the 4-cylinder and 7.0L with the V6. Most Canadians will opt for the AWD versions thanks to our winter conditions, but here too there are more choices. Jeep has included three AWD systems. The first is a called Active Drive 1 with a selectable drive mode called Select-Ter-rain, for automatic, snow, mud and sand settings. The second is called Active Drive 2 and offers a two-speed mode for low speed crawling. The most aggres-sive system is Active Drive Lock, which comes in the off-road purpose-built Cherokee called Trailhawk. The Trailhawk is a ‘real’ Jeep; this is thanks to a locking rear differential and a host of electronic aids. The most impressive feature is the low speed crawling mode for both up and down hill tasks. Therefore, Jeep purists, yes there is a Cherokee for you. VerdictThis new Cherokee is off to a fantastic start. Sales are strong and the sharp design is bringing in buyers, not shoving them away. The 2014 Cherokee could not be further away from the last model; this is a thoroughly modern SUV with go-anywhere capability and around-town refinement that needs to be experienced.The LowdownPower: 184hp 2.4L 4-cylinder, and 271hp 3.2L V6. Fill-up: 9.9L/7.0L/100km (city/highway AWD) Sticker price: $23,695-$32,195

A good off-roader, comfortable and an easy street performer, the Cherokee does both equally well.
